 Perhaps Fatally.
 LOS ANGELES, Gal, March 2S.--A Santa Monica electric car was held up a quarter of mile outside the city limits during the night. In fight be- tween the passengers and three masked hfghwaymen one passenger was killed and two wounded and one highway man shot several times, supposedly fa-i tally. The highwaymen secured no booty.
 The holdup occurred at the head of ( deep cut. The robbers had placed q steel rail, large bench and cement barrel on the track.
 Charles Curry, the motorman, saw the obstruction when the car was sev- erai hundred yards from it and at once turned of the current and ran slowly to the place. The moment the car struck, three men wearing masks over their faces sprang from the weeds alongside the track. One boarded the front end of the ear and the other two the rear end. The first man command ed the passengers to put up their hands, and when one of them did not COAlply hC AACA ~ DliVL. A RNDSGAA&&A named Henderson then opened fire on the robber. The robber turned his gun upon Henderson. but as he did so he was seen to bend over and cry out as if in pain. Then, strafghtening up, he began shooting at the passengers on the front seats. One of his bullets struck Ellis Pearson in the left leg. Henderson continued firing, and the robber was seen to fall. The two rob- bers who had entered the rear door commanded the passengers to put up heir hands, and most of them did so. S7efore the robbers could search the
 assengers the shooting began on the outside of the car. Then the other two
 ,bbers began shooting right and left
 mopgsthe passengers.
 X gentleman of the name of Gris. vold was seated about the middle of .he ear with his back toward the rob- sers. At the command Hands upr' he tried to hide bis watch, and one of the robbers, thinking he was about to draw a gun, fired point blank at him. The bullet struck him in the back of the neck, and he fell over into the lap of his aged mother, who was at his side.
 pr. c. H. Bowles was near the front door, and at the command of the rob- bers he raised his hands. When he had them in the air, one of the bullets from robbers revolver struck his left hand and shattered the bones. After empty ing their revoivers the robbers backed out of the door, sprang off the car and disappeared.
 The car ran rapidly to Sawtelle, the nearest point where medical aid could be secured. Griswold expired before the car had gone mile.

pended for the cultivation and harvesting
O. cur crops are fast deserving the farms
for the city. No less than 200 negroes
have gore from my county to Havestraw

to the big cities for employment as domes-
ties etc. Some of them return but ne

behaved farm negro will go north either
by his own will or by persuasion of

hard to employ and when employed can't
be controlled. We planters who devote
our attention to cotton sec no solution
to the problem other than a reduction OF

Especial to News and Observer


Greensboro, N. c., Dee. 10-The build
ing Committee Of the Methodist Protest
ant College is composed of Revs. j. F.
McCulloch r. M Andrews and Mr. j.
Norman Wills. 1t is learned that the
building fund has now grown to nearly
$50 600, and that a contribution of $1,000
has been received within the past two
weeks. In q short while a systematic
course Of soliciting for an endowment will
be inaugurated, and it is expected that
within twelve months the building and
endowment funds will have reached
point where the committee will feel justi-
fed in beginning the construction OF the
necessary buildings for the college. By
reason of the building of the new shift
ing yards by the Southern Railway, the
site selected and purchased last fall near
Pomona has been rendered an undesirable
location for school purposes. There is
now pending a suit for damages against
the railroad company for injury to the
property It is just learned today that
the building committee yesterday closed a
deal with Mr.. j. Van Lndley for fifty
acres of land just west of Lnd2ey Park,
in hundred yards Of the terminus of the
street car line and that the college will
be built there, the property formerly pur-
chased being also retained, but for other
than building purposes.

How Bob Glenn Converted One ['opul;st

Especial to News and Observer)
MaXton, N. c., Dec. lott is said that
in 1900, when Col. Glenn spoke in Lum-
berton, Robson county, at large Red
Shirt Rally" out on one of the main
roads leading to Lumberton, there lived a
noted Populist, who had we'll of fine
water hard by the roadside. On the
morning Of the rally, this arch enemy of
all that was pure and upright in politics.
swore by all that was holy, that no Red
Shirt Democrat should 'cool his parch-
ing tongue from his we'll that day. So
early in the morning he removed the
bucket and put it in his barn. But
when the surging masses began, at an
early hour, to pass by in hundreds. the
aforesaid Pop yielded to the weakness of
human kind and followed the multitude
to zee what would happen. And this is
what happened: Col Glenn made one OF
his most powerful, convincing and con
verting, speeches that day and his burn
ing words reached the ears and touched
the heart of this Populist, ''and he came
to himself, arose from the ground and
said to himself 81 will return to nv
home, put that bucket back on the we'll
and the boys can have all the water they
want" for after hearing Bob Glenn speak

Cotton Factories Now ard Then.
(Wilson Times.l

few years ago cotton factories were
purchasing cotton at about 6 cents per
pound. and selling their factory product
at about. Is cents per pound. Now they
are curtailing their products and consult
ing about stopping them because they are
not making any profit.
Then the farmer was the heavy loser.
but what remedy lad he? The profits
of the farmer are now far less than were
the profits of the manufacturer a few
years ago.
Why should not the manufacturer bear
his share OF the burden that falls on men
in the various turns that business takes.
1t seems good that now farming is
profitable, for it is the real foundation
OF all kinds CT business in the world.
Do the manufacturers know that if

Tay,ossville Scout.
The Duplin Journal, which since the
opening OF the .irst boil Of cotton. has
urged the farmers to hold their cotton
1or better prices IN long article in its
yesterdays paper, said:
sDlpllns county makes at least 4000
bales or cotton annually and had this
crop been held as it should have been
done for y IL cents, as was advised
by the Journal, it would have saved at
least $4,000 $3.50 a bale) to the farm
ers OF the county or 800, 900 if held till
1t advances to Is cents later in tie sea
son, which could have been done had
the farmers warehoused their crop, Dor
rowed money TO pay their debts and held
on for Is cents in the spring. This oppor-
tunity may not come again soon and
should have been taken advantage Of
Those farmers who have 50 far held ,he
cotton should continue to hold on for Is
cents as prospects for this price are
brighter than ever before and they should
have the advantage of the best p.ice the
season will afford.
1T is true that Southern mills are short
OF cotton and may not be able to run
regularly on account Of high priced raw
cotton but they have attempted to bear
the market by holding off rather than
buying at and 10 cents when many
farmers were compelled to sell and they
must suffer Tor their failure to buy Just
as the farmers VII suffer for their fail
ere to hold.
But the crop is too short to he much
affected by the mills running on short
time and Is cents may be confidently ex.
pected by those who await the spring
market. Many South Carolina mills ware
housed cotton free of charge for the farm
ers, and bought largely too, when cotton
was cheaper and they will not enter any
contract for c,lrtailment of manufactured
goods as these goods are now advancing
and will continue so to do
