Fatally.
Especial to News and Observer


Greensboro, N. c., Aug. 4.-Yester-
day about night, near the terra Gotta
works, three miles from the city, Ern-
est Morrison shot and killed Henry
Woods. The two negroes were resting
from the work of the day, where they
were employed in building the new
Etowah cotton factory. Woods was
lying on the grass, when Morrison,
who was standing, said to him: You
step over to Lindley Park and bring
me some ice cream" Woods laugh
ngly replied that he would do no such
thing, when Morrison responded: IF
you don't I'll shoot you" He pulled
out his pistol and it went off, the ball
entering Woods breast, piercing the
heart and killing the man instantly.
Morrison made every effort to reach
a doctor by telephone from the city
but failing he went over to GuilfOrd
College and secured physician, who
found the man dead. Morrison has
not yet returned, but officers think he
will deliver himself up.
There had been no quarrel between
him and the dead man. they were good
friends, and the reckless carelesSneSS
of handling the pistol as he did will
probably cost Morrison a year or two
in prison at best. And the other man
is dead.
Officers are searching for Bill FOy
a noted negro gambler and tough, who
came near killing Dolph Lindsay, a
barber, early last night. Lindsay was
at work in the barber shop just north
of the Guilford Hotel building, when
Foy went to the door and called him
out. No sooner had the barber reached
the pavement than Foy, without warn
ing, made a desperate sWipe at the
BARRIERS throat with razor The boy
lodged and threw up his arm, rcceiv-
ing the cut on his shoulder, the razor
striking to the bone, intlicting what
the doctor fears may prove fatal
wound. F'oy Immediately ran off and
has not yet been caught.

Especial to News and Observer
Durham, n. c., Aug. 4.-While the
Democratic party is getting ready to
place Il full ticket in the field the Re-
publicans are not altogether har-
monious.
A few days ago Mr.. w. r. OBrien,
chairman of the Republican executive
committee, issued a call for county
convention to be held on August goth.
1t seems that this was done without
authority of the committee, and Il
meeting of the committee has been
called for next Saturday, August 9Th.
This is liable to cause some friction.
Mr. NJ. e. McCoWn. an erStWhile
Democrat, has announced himself as
a candidate for sheriff subject to the
action of the convention, and there
are others who are insisting that a
straight Republican be placed in the
field. Ii there is any trouble over this
it is said that those who do not be-
lieve the call for the convention of
the goth is in keeping with the rules
governing Republican conventions
may bolt or may cause trouble in
other ways.
When the committee meets on Sat
urday of this week il may be that
matters will be Strengthened out, and
that the committee will endorse the
call of Mr.. O'Brien and make the
convention a regular Republican con-
vention.
In the meantime the Democrats will
meet in convention and ratify what
was done at the primaries and fill up
gaps that were left open by reason
of no one receiving nomination for the
Offices.
