RALEIGH LOST TO DURHAM.
The First of the Bowling Contests Los
by 100 points.

The Raleigh Bowling Club, COM
posed of Messrs. Jack Perry, Fred
Woollcott, Gus Hilker and Moore Par
ker, returned from Durham yesterday
morning, where they lost the bowling
contest to Durham.
They played five games and the
score for was $3.50 for Durham and
2,430 for Raleigh, Raleigh losing by
exactly one hundred points The Dur
ham alleys are different from the al
leys here, SO in the consequence of this
fact Raleigh was at a great disad-
vantage and didn't roll near their av-
erage, which as a rule, runs from $50
to 200. Gus Hilker of the Raleigh
team, scored the highest average on
either team.
Next Wednesday the Durham team,
composed of Mr.. j. l.. Conrad, capt,
Nicholson, Horton and Roberts, will
compete with Raleigh team again and
on the Raleigh alleys. This will no
doubt give Raleigh good chance to
beat Durham, for all the members of
the Raleigh team are familiar with
the alleys here.
There is q good deal of interest in
bowling in Raleigh and a good crowd
will no doubt witness the contest. An
admission fee of 25 cents will be
charged.

CAUGHT At APEX
Three Shanty Thieves
Sprinted Away to no
Purpose.

The three negroes, Charlie Nc
Clenahan, Wright Lambeth and Oscar
Canaday, who, as already reported
broke into a shanty on the Raleigh
and Cape Fear railroad, were arrest
ed yesterday at Apex by Messrs. j. L.
jerks and Joe Sears, and were
brought to Raleigh and lodged in
Jail. They will be given a hearing
before Justice M. b. Barbee, probably
on Monday.
The theft, it will be remembered,
was committed at the expense of a
gang of cross-tie hands, of which the
three prisoners We're a part who were
working under Ben Clegg as foreman
at the Simpkins place, south of Raj
eigh while the rest of the squad was
at work, it is charged that the three
men arrested slipped away from the
others and raided the shanty in which
they slept and left their belongings,
the plumber of the three consisting of
a quantity of clothing and some loose
change, the amount of the theft being
estimated at about $780,.
This occurred on Wednesday and
on Thursday Clegg came to Raleigh
and reported the matter. obtaining

arrest of the men and employing j.

On Friday information was re-

the men had been arrested and We're

place of the theft. Whereupon Depu-
ty Sheriffs Walters and Smell, taking

as the officers had not arrived on the

the negroes without a warrant.
In addition to this disappointment

Clegg seemed to have mysteriously
lost an interest in the case. saying
that he was tired of the whole thing
and refusing the deputies all aid in

Nevertheless. on their return, the
officers had a short race after the
thieves, whom they saw break into
the back way from a farm house,
but they were no match in cross
country running, for the negroes who
easily made good their escape.
Apparently they did not start run

they had no sooner arrived than they

TO SUPPLY LABOR
Eastern Carolina Land
Owners Asso. Going
After immigration.

| Mr.. w. +. Waringen, editor of the
| Transcript Edenton, N. c., was in
the city yesterday to have an inter-
view with Governor Aycock relative
to an immigration movement which
he and Mr.. John II. Fell. civil en-
gineer, and native of England, have
recently formed
Governor Aycock was absent from
the city and Mr.. Swaringen had an
| interview with Commissioner of Agri-
culture Patterson on the subject.
These gentlemen have formed the
Eastern Carolina Land owners Labor
Association and it is their intention to
deal -non-agricultural as well
as agricultural labor. The purpose
of the Association is to induce good
sober, steady English and Scotch farm
hands and tenant farmers and day
Iaborers to come to North Carolina
At a recent meeting held In the
court house in Edenton many mem
bers Joined the association and many
inquiries have been received from diff
ferent sections of the State regard
ing this movement which means much
in the way of development and in
crease of the trucking and agricul-
tural interests of the State. AT the
meeting resolutions were adopted ask
ing Governor Aycock for State EN-
dorsement for the association and it's
work The reason these gentlemen
are seeking the endorsement of the
state is that the immigration laws of
the United States prohibits individuals
or corporations from inducing immi
grants to come to America under a
heavy penalty. while a State has the
right to advertise its advantages. ETC.,
and to induce these to coue.
The class of immigrants proposed
TO be brought by Mr.. Sweringer to the
State is one that is different from that
heretofore brought to the South.
The English and Scotch people speak
the language of the section and would
soon help build UP the waste land
and bring it under 81 fine state of
cultivation.
1t seems that there Is 81 great de-
preston in the British isles just now
and there is a great army of unem
ployed. ana it is proposed to bring
the supply to the demand. The
farms and mills of the State are
greatly in need of labor. The object
which prompted the formation of the
association was to see that the peo-
pie are provided with proper homes
when they arrive, and TO secure for
them homes and positions.
The inducement of this class OF
people to come to the State means
much in the way Of remedyng the
scarcity Of good reliable farm hands
3nd tenant farmers: and to induce
these English and Scotch agriculture
alists TO come to the State would not
mean the Introduction of foreigners,

A DAY OF VISITORS
~ ia. iA1
George Foster Peabody
at Rosemont.
Important Political Conference---Shee-
han ConsuIts With Parker---visi-
tors Delay Work on Speech
OF Acceptance.
(By the Associated Press.

Esopus, N. Y, July 30-Many visi-
tors were entertained today at the
home of the Democratic Presidential
candidate. The first arrival was
George Foster Peabody, of New York.
He left at 2 p. m. and the same train
brought j. Edward Simmons of New
York, president of the Fourth Ma
tional Bank, and John Whalen, form
er corporation counsel in New York.
Mr.. Simmons is prominently men
toned for the treaSurerShip of the
Democratic National committee but
on this subject neither he nor Judge
Parker could be induced to talk. Both
Mr.. Simmons and Mr.. Whalen are
friends of Judge Parker of long
standing, and so far as is known,
the visit was purely social. Other
visitors were Representative Clarence
ID. Vanduser, of Nevada, Prof. Will
liam Haynes, of the law department
of Notre Dame University, South
Bend Ind, and Seaman Miller, of
New York, former assistant district
attorney.
Mr.. Peabody's visit was said to
have been of an important political
nature
William F. Sheehan came home
from Long Branch, N. j., tonight. He
conferred with Judge Parker for a
few minutes and will see him again
tomorrow. He told the newspaper
men he had no political news.
Speech of Acceptance.
The stream of visitors has inter-
fered very seriously with the prepa-
ration of Judge Parker's speech in
acceptance of the Democratic Presi-
Dental nomination to be delivered
August 10. The judge is scrupulous
and painstaking in the courtesy with
which he receives every visitor and
the callers occupy a great deal of his
time. His care to say in his speech
exactly what he wants to say and
neither more nor less makes it seem
likely that the document will not be
complete until close to the day of its
delivery. 1t is believed that he has
not vet begun work on the formal let
ter of acceptance which will follow
after the notification ceremony ana
in which he will probably outline 1t
considerable length his position ~
topics of national importance involved
in the campaign.
A beautiful silver loving cup was
sent down to Rosemount today by
the residents on the block in King
ston, where Judge Parker has his yot-
ing residence.
Accompanying the cup is the fol-
lowing letter:
Kingston, N Y. as Judge Parker TO
accept the accompany love cup as y
token of their esteem for him as
man. a citizen and a friend.
With the note are the cards OF the
twenty-four giyers OF the token.
