road, some distance from any resi-
dence, two miles from the city, Satur-
day afternoon in broad open daylight,
John Milliken, of this city, was set
upon by three negroes along the road

and a number of valuable papers. Mr.
Milliken had gone into the country to
pay some hands whom he had at work
in the creek bottoms cutting timber.
While he was passing the three ne.
side III ha XfflEaes XflEaes. seated by the road
sprang upon him. two of them clutch
ing him by the throat and bearing
him to the ground, while the third
with drawn pistol went through the
victims pocket, securing the money
and papers. Mr.. Milliken had no
weapon and was powerless in the
hands of the ruffians who choked him
almost into insensibility. After re-
lieving him of what he had, the ne
groes insolently told the white man
to go On about his business while
they proceeded in the woods along
the railroad track towards SCOTS
Hill. Mr.. Milliken hurried to town
and reported the matter to the police,
but they were unable 10 hear anything
of the negroes.

PRESIDENT IS STILL URGING PEACE
'exf OF Dispatches Through pipio-
matte Channels to Russia and Japan
is Made Public.

washington, Special.-An identical
note. the text of which, by authority
OF the President. was made public late
friday at the White House by Secre-
tary Loeb. has been forwarded to tie
Governments OF Russia and JaDan by
PRESIDENT Roosevelt. In the interest OF
humanity the President urges the war
ring nations to conclude peace. 1t Is
suggested by the President that the ne
EQUATIONS be conducted directly and
exclusively" between the belligerent
nations. The note indicates the Pres
idents belief that an Intermediary may
not be necessary to effect conclusive
negotiations, but likewise expresses the
Presidents willingness to do all that
he properly may TO promote the pre-
Iminary arrangements for time and
place OF meeting of representatives OF
the Russian and Japanese Govern
ments.
The following is the substances OF
the dispatches given out:
"On June Sth the following despatch
was sent by the President through dip
lomatic channels to the Japanese and
Russian Governments:
The President feels that the time
has come, when in the interest Of all
mankind, he must endeavor to see if
1t is not possible to bring to an end
the terrible and lamented conflict now
being waged. With both Russia and
Japan the United States has inherited
ties OF friendship and good will. 1t
hopes for the prosperity and welfare
OF each, and it feels that the progress
of the world is set bacE by the war
between these two great nations. The
President accordingly urges the Rus
sian and Japanese Governments not
only for their own sakkes. but in the
interest of the whole civilized world,
to open direct negotiations for peace
with one another.

Car Thanks Rojestvensky.

st. Petersburg, By Cable.-Emperor
Nicholas has cabled the following to
Rojestvensky:
From my heart 1 thank you and all
the officers of the squadron who have
honorably done their duty for your un-
selfish work for Russia and for me. BY
the will of the Almighty, success was
not destined to crown your endeavors,
but your boundless bravery will always
be a source of pride to our country.
81 wish you speedy recovery. May
God console you all.
(Signed) NlCHoLAo.
The peculiar wording of the message
is attracting attention. The restrlctlon
of the Emperor's thanks to those hon
orably doing their duty is tanning ugly
talk regarding the surrender OF ships
and the conduct of some of the crews.
The messages of Admiral Enqulst and
Captain Chagin of the Russian cruiser
AImaz did not contain any lntlmatlon
of misbehavior on the part OF officers
or crew.

Trolley Project.

It is learned that F. H. Fries and
his associates, will rapidly push the
building of the railway from Winston
Salem southwark to Wadesboro. There
appears to be very good prospect
of the building of a trolley line on
the turnpike now under construction
between Wilkesboro and Jefferson.
There is ample water power conven-
iently located. 1t is said the road can
be built for 100000. The turnpike is
not macadamized. 1t is so well graded
that it has cost $4,000 mile on an av-
erage so far, for construction, and the
heaviest grading has been completed.
1t seems to be sort Of impression
that the Southern, the Norfolk &
Western. and the Seaboard Air Line
are making a race to get into Southport
and it is very certain that more at
tention has been directed recently to
the latter place than ever before.
