Young Man Shot to Death for the
Crime Of Seduction.

salisbury, Special.-A homicide with
peculiar tragic circumstances occurred

the Mooresville- Winston Railroad.

10 miles through the country from

man OF prominent family, being shot
and killed by Thomas ]. and Chalmers
L. White, OF Concord, in an alteration
growing out Of the seduction by Sher-
rill of Miss Annie White, the orphan
VOWED in the affair are of prominent
family and OF high personal standing.
Immediately after the shooting the
White brothers set out for Salisbury,
driving at high speed, with the inten-
ticn Of surrendering themselves to the
sheriff. County Commissioner Joseph
Hall and several other citizens of the
vicinity started out in pursuit, but
learning the purpose of the brothers on
coming within signaling distance, they
accompanied them to the end of their
journey. Senator Lee S. Overman,
Congressman Theo. F. Kluttz and
Judge w. ]. Montgomery were retained
as counsel, Judge Montgomery arriv-
ing from Concord by the 11:25 train in
response to telegram. After consul
tation with their attorneys, the Messrs.
hot in RI
go to Jail without commitment.
While showing the concern natural to
quiet citizens finding themselves for
the first time in collision with the law,
they gave no indications of sense OF
guilt and boldly declared themselves
abundantly justified in what they had
done In the Superior Court this af-
ternoon their counsel gave notice of a
motion to set date for hearing on
the question of bail. Judge Brown
stated that he would notify Solicitor
w. c. Hammer, whose home Is at Ashe-
boro, and after his arrival, which is
expected, appointed the date for the
hearing.

Archer, whose first husband was their

young lady in the case, the letter read
ing, Annie is ruined. My GOd! What
shall | do? Please come at once" These
gentlemen, being the uncles and near
est male protectors of Miss White
their dead brothers daughter, hired a
team in Concord and drove to the
home of Mrs. Archer, where they spent
the night. They found Mrs. Archer
and Miss White in great distress. This
morning, shortly after o'clock, they
went to the home of Mr. Sheriff., who
had seduced their niece under promise
Of marriage, and afterwards refused to
marry her, and conversed with him on
the porch. They asked him to keep his
promise of marriage and he answered
that he would die first. They still in.
sisted that he marry her, and he started
towards Mr.. Chalmers White in
threatening attitude. Both the broth
ers retreated to the end of the porch
and told him to sit down and reason
about the matter; that all they asked
| was that he marry Miss White. Sher
rill continued to advance in striking

alton commission there was held what
might he called final conference with
the representatives OF the Southern,
Seaboard Air Line and Norfolk e. Wes-
tern Railways about the building OF the

hands finally got together, the lion
and the lamb laying down side by side.
The very beautiful design submitted by
the Southern Railway is the one ac-
cepted and Durham people will GER
tainly have every reason TO be proud OF
their station. There were two or three
bitches" the first being due TO de-
mand by the Seaboard as TO running
freight trains through the station.
Another was ali objection by the Nor
folk & Western Railway to paying a
third OF the cost OF the station. The
lawyers made il game OF fence" all
the way through, and their ironlcal
compliments were really delightful.
The S. A. L. was represented by Vice
President and General Manager Barr
and General Counsel Leigh r. Watts:
the Southern by Vice President An
drews and Attorney F. II. Busbee; the
Norfolk & Western by Vice President
Johnson and Attorney ". 4. Guthrie;
the city OF Durham by Victor S. Bry-
ant and Howard A. Foushee. All papers
were duly signed by representatives OF
the three railway in interest. the
Southern, Seaboard AR Line and Nor
folk & Western. The commission or
Gered that the Seaboard pay one-third
of the cost OF the building and neces-
sary ground; that the Norfolk K Wes-
tern pay one-third OF the cost o: the
building and that the Southern pay the
remainder of the cost OF the building
and ground. The total cost will approx
innate $4,000.

The Cleveland Cliffs Company's
agent. NJ. M. Duncan. has received
instruction from his company to close
tn. Moro ana Lucy mines and to dis
continue the night shift at the Lake
mine, the order to take effect on the
first of the coming month. About $50
men will thus be thrown out Of en-
ployment.
Upon all sides there are big stocks
of unsold ore belonging to the COM
pany, much money has been tied up,
and it is evidently considered unwise
to add to unsold stocks now mined.
At the Moro mine, this city, the
pumps will be kept moving and the
mine held In position to resume opera
tions on short notice. At the Lucy the
pumps will be Withdrawn. the levels
being permitted to fill with water.
About $50 men will be affected. Mr.
Duncan says ne regrets exceedingly
the receipt of this order, as it is a
most unpleasant duty he now has to
perform. All had hoped the cut of a
few weeks since would be the only one
experienced here this winter, and the
late order was great surprise. There
seems TO have been great falling of
la the iron business of the country
during the past few months, and now
there are fresh troubles among the
building trades that further aggravates
the situation. Mr.. Duncan has n,

front in this industry appear to be a.

WAGE REDUCTIONS COMING.

WAGE REDUCTIONS COMING.
The miners OF this district are all
wondering what the new year will
bring to them in the shape OF wages.
Will wages be decreased or will they
remain the samel That Is the question
that \ bothsring many Of our men.
A Diamond Drill reporter put this
question to the heads of several of our
mining companies some time ago and,
while be got mo idea as to what the
wage basis will be, yet, from informa-
ton which we have every reason to
believe is authentic we learn that a
fwage reduction is surely coming.
Supt. Wall. in reply to our query
Atold us that he could not say for ne
had no knowledge of what will be
done. All of the wage scales OF the
: OlivX Mining company are fixed by
the head officials on information furn-
ished by the local superintendent and
the wages in no one locality is changed
unless there is a general REIMBURSEMENT
OF the scdlcS. Ah0 coHSi
dents gave almost united answer
viz that wage reductions are made at
the head Offices and that the indepen-
dent companies are awaiting the action
of the Steel corporation.
From another source we learned that
the Independent companies have been
in conference with the Steel officials
for some time and that general re-
duction in wages will surely occur on
the first of January.
Dispatches from the east this week
seem to indicate that the Steel people
are already at work on their schedules
and that the changes, IL any are to b'
made. will be announced soon.
