New York, January ls-There was no
change today in the conditions upon

showed more than the expected Increase

expansion Of over 50. 900. 900. A loan In
crease OF 50. 292. 900 helped to swell the
deposits so that the surplus benefit ed

statement. however. was a strong one
and the selling movement with which
IL was met was obviously proft-taking
by professional traders. Yesterdays

some extent this morning. especially in
the coalers n some OF the industrials.
but the later proft-taking wiped out

A Homicide at the Cotton Mil1s-B1ds

CORRESPONDENCE of The Messenger,

CORRESPONDENCE of The Messenger.}
Goldsboro, n. c., January 16.
Two negroes, Dave Smith and Joe
Dickins. while at work at the South.
ern cotton oil mill in this city yester-
day, became involved in a quarrel and
Dickins, Who was boss in a certain de-
partment, struck Smith with his first
because he refused to do a certain piece
of work and got impudent.
About an hour afterward, when the
affair was almost forgotten, Dickins
was down on his knees on the hooT
cleaning off a machine when smith
came up from the rear and struck him
on the head with a pinch bar, D1cklns
was thought to be killed and Smith ran
away from the milf and made his es-
cape. Later on, Dickins revived and
medical attention discovered that the
skull was fractured. He was carried to
his home, where he died during the
night
So far the officers have failed to get
any trace of Smith. He is said to have
zone home last night under cover of
darkness and collected his personal
belongings and left for parts unknown.
He probably learned last night Of the
death of Dickins.
Mr.. Charles n. Edgerton, a young
man of splendid business qualifications
and wide popularity, has been elected
to fill an ~uneXpired term on the board
Of aldermen caused by the resignation
of Mr.. F. w. Hilker, who changed his
residence on the first of the year. The
preferment of Mr.. Edgerton for the po-
sition will be a source OF qualification
to his many friends, and the board az
we'll as the people are to be c~ongratu-
lated upon having such an able repre-
sentative in municipal affairs.
The board of aldermen held a meeting
this morning to open the bids for the
bonds which the city will issue in the
sum of S110. 900. The board held a Sc
cret session to open the bids and then
opened the doors and allowed the rep
reSentatives of bond brokerage firms
present to urge their claims. The board
adjourned to meet again tonight and
take up the question. 1t is the general
opinion hat the bids received this
morning were not high enough and that
the bonds will not be sold at such
prices.
One of the county's new public school
buildings near Mt. Olive was damaged
considerably by fire this morning. The
shingle roof caught fire while school
was in session. The teachers and
scholars went to work throwing water
and tearing of shingles and saved the
building. The school has been temper.
arily suspended until repairs can be
made.

Raleigh, n. c.. January IL.

Raleigh, n. c.. January IL.
Grand Master OF Masons II. /. Clark
said today:
You can say for me that work on the
Masonic temple will begin before 1903;
that is before h next meeting OF the
grand lodge. We do not know where il
will be. OF course We want il at Ra-
leigh. This Is the natural place for it
The grand lodge has met here for a
great number OF years. But Raleigh
people will have to show their interest
In a practical way that is. by subscrip-
tons to the building fund. They GER
tainly ought not to subscribe less than
S25 ZOO. Charlotte stands ready to give
10000 and Greensboro SO. 900 to SIS. 000.'
There are today 10 ~convicts at work
on the roads in this county. All these
are employed in the Raleigh road dis
trict. in which the road tax is paid.
Outside of this district the DAD are :"
bad that the rural free delivery mail
carriers make loud complaints ana
there are hints that one route may be
discontinued. OF the 119 miles of road
in the district % are macadamiZed or
graveled.
This city has bought a desirable site
a mile south of the boundary, for its
smallpox ~pesthouse and is removing the
latter to this new site. There has been
no smallpox in this city or county since
last June. 1t cost the city and county
$500 to stamp out the two epidemics
Of 1899 n 1901, but 1t was at last
thoroughly done. Compulsory vaccina-
ton did the work.
There are now 407 convicts at work on
the Ohio River and Charleston railway.
in Mitchell county. This is the largest
number on railway work since the
Western North Carolina railway was
completed. during Governor Jarvis ad-
mi~nistration.
The state superintendent of public in
struction is finding that his greatest
task is getting the county reports cor
rect regarding the 800. 900 appropriated
for the purpose of aiding needy public
schools to bring their terms up to four
months. So far, not a report is correct.
The task of finding out what is needed
is certainly a great one. One county
called for over 81, 600, yet the officials
did not ever sign the report, and, be-
sides. it is full of inaccuracies
