towns cannot appreciate the anxiety OF
people in the country in regard to the
safety Of females who may be exposed
to the vile brutes who are proving
about. There are some who believe that
a secret organization exists among the
negroes in the south for outraging white
women. The exodus Of negroes has car
ried members of this organization to
the north where northern people have
an opportunity of realizing some of the
evils prevalent in the south. While this
anxiety exists people will be inclined to
abandon the farms and seek the towns
for the protection of their families.
Major Newton Who recently inspected
the military companies in this state is
not very complimentary in his report
and caused the disarmament Of the
Lumber Bridge Company, the second
oldest military organization in the
state. For sixty years this company
was the pride of Robesonians. Scores
of it's members died il the civil war and
the company serve during the recent
Spanish war. The members were near
ly all farmers and at great incon-
venience during busy seasons attended
the regular drills and were noted fol

Goldsboro, N. c., September AT
the regular meeting of the board of al
dermen last night a committee from the
~ant1saloon league presented a petition
for an election on prohibition to be held
on the 9Th of October. The board ap-
pointed a committee to investigate the
petition and see that it contained the
required number Of registered voters.
The committee investigated the petit
ton today and made their report to the
board tonight, when the election was
ordered as requested.
Mr.. l.. D. Gulley, who is under con-
tract with the city to remove the old
wooden building adjacent to the new
city hall, has addressed a cpmmunica-
ton to the board of aldermen in which
he actually asks the city for damages
for erecting the city hall and market
so near his property and asks that the
board give him a conference and show
cause why the deed he gave the city
for the land hould not be cancelled.
The board replied to the communication
by passing a resolution directing him to
tear down the old building at once, In
compliance with his contract.
The board of public works have en-
tered a protest with the board of al
dermen for assigning them an office on
the third floor OF the building. The
protest is signed by Messrs. Chas.
Dewey, G.. A. Norwood. Jr.. and ]. F.
Dortch. The board Of public works
wants the room which has been assign
ed to the chief of police for an office.
The first installment Of furniture for
the new offices came in today.
1t is thought now that the trial OF
Dan Teachey for the murder of Bob
Rivenbark in Duplin court will con
sumo the balance Of the week. The
case Will not be given 10 the jury be-
fore L o'clock tomorrow and it is very
probable that a mistrial will be the re-
suit if he is not acquitted. The case
has attracted widespread attention
n there is a much larger crowd in
attendance o court than usual.
Teachey has proven an alibi. but on the
other hand there are several witnesses
who have sworn hat it was he who
did the shooting and the state has the
testimony Of the dying man who said
that it was Teachey who shot him.
