4 THIEF WORKED IN STORM. 4
Thought il Coed Time to Ply His
Calling and is Now Probably
Drunk.

Especial to News and Observer
Washington. n. c.. July 21.-A vio-
lent electrical storm swept the city
last night about nine o'clock. Trees
and houses suffered in several parts
of town, the Messenger office being
the chief sufferer During the storm
some daring and cnterprising thief,
awaiting himself of the opportunity,
robbed the schooner Gold Leaf. lying
at one of the docks. Nothing but
some whiskey was secured and the
belief is that the same party or par
ties who figured in the recent burgla-
rics at the several saloons are the
perpetrators of this latest outrage. No
clue is in the hands of the authOri-
ties.
Messrs. John II. Small aud John
Ravens are beginning the erection of
a new building on the site of the old
Lockyer building, recently destroyed
by fire. The structure will be three
stories in height and the uppermost
story will probably be used by the
Hotel Louise ownership for additional
sleeping rooms. The eMMeld itOry
will be made into modern offices and
the lower floor will be utilized for
stores.

outside of the Office saw the negro
with the pistol in hand and gave the
alarm. The negro took to his heels
and after q short run was captured
He was taking a pistol from his poCK-
ct when caught. He was searched ana
two pistols and z knife were found on
his person.
He was placed in the lookup until
morning when he was given a prelim-
mary hearing before Mayor McManus.

assault with deadly weapon and was
bound over to court. The bond was

Argument in the Carter Murder Case
Will End Probably by Noon.
(By the Associated Press. }


Valdosta, Ga, July 20.-The evil
dence in the case against Milton Raw
lings, charged with the murder of
the Carter children, was finished be-
fore noon today. The effort of the
defense today was directed toward
impeaching the testimony of the Car
ters who testified for the State. Their
reputation for truth and veracity was
also attacked. Arguments in the case
were taken up Immediately.
When court convened for the after
noon session Solicitor Thomas asked
permission to reopen the case to in
troduce additioant testimony. This
was granted and he produced two wit
nesses who swore that they had heard
Mrs. Rawlings say that on the night
of the Carter murders, two of her
sons were coon hunting and the other
was home in bed. Mrs. Rawlings
was brought to the stand and sWore
that she did not make such a state
ment The arguments were then re-
sumed, G.. A. Whitaker leading for
the State; O. NJ. Smith followed for
the defense, and the recess for the
day was taken at o'clock this even
ing. Closing arguments will be made
tomorrow and it is likely the case Will
go to the jury about noon.
The result of this, the first case, is
watched with intense interest as
upon it depend largeE the probable
results in the case against the other
members of the Rawlings family, who
are charged with participation in the
crime.

There was some merriment created

ternoon, though it was a more serious
matter to the graver minded and
the chief actor in the scene The
town authorities gave the contract to
painter to paint the water stand
pipe which is about one hundred and
fifty feet high When the painter got
up on top of the tank he came in
contact with a wasps nest and had
to fight manfully to keep from being
stung nearly to death.
Crops in this section are looking
fine since we have had nice rains for
the last ten days, and bid fair now

ers are going to hold an institute here

A WE'LL KNOWN FRIEND DEAD.
Prof. Joseph Moore, of Earlham Col
IeSe-NeW Bank Building.

Especial to News and Observer
High Point, n. c., July 21.-I learn
through Mr.. w. Z. Parker, of this
place, that Prof Joseph Moore, of
Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana,
is dead. Prof Moore is a well known
Friend in this and other States. For
the past several years he attended the
Yearly Meeting of the Friends at this
place and was one of the most promi-
nent leaders in its meetings. For two
years he was at the head of the New
Garden Boarding School, now Gull
ford College. For years he was also
at the head of the educational move
ment in the Society of Friends. He
was one of the thirty-two men whose
opinions were printed in much read
book: the Successful Men of the
Day"
Mr.. c. l.. Glenn, cashier of the Wa
chovia Loan and Trust Company, says
that he expects to occupy the new
bank building of the company by
August the first. This building which
is rapidly nearing completion, is one
of the handsomest structures of its
kind in the city.

GONE TO GEORGIA.
Chief Robert Harris of the Catawba
Tribe of IndnanS.

Chief Robert Harris. of the tribe of
Catawba Indians has gone to Augusta,
Ga, where South Carolina signed the
memorable treaty with his tribe, and
from there he will go to Atlanta, to
call on the chief executive of that
State and endeavOr to enliN his SYM
pathy and assistance toward securing
government care and education of the
Catawbas.
Chief Bob" was delighted with his
visit to this city and the only thing
in connection with it was the unex-
pected absence of Governor Glenn,
who is at Wrightsville. Chief Bob did
not know whether or not he would re-
turn to Raleigh later to see the Gov
ernOr.
While here he went through nearly
every history in the State Library iii
search of information concerning his
tribe during the period it lived in what
is now Mecklenburg county, N. G. The
search proved fruitless, and although
the Red Man hunted through north
eastern records as faithfully and in
dustriously, though not as Wllltully
and with as great pleasure as his
grand sires footed the forests on the
trail of the game of the WildS. He
was evidently very much disappointed
in this, as it seemed the last oppor
tunity of confirming one of the favor
tie traditions of his people. He spent
several days among the archives of
South Carolina, but not a word was
there to be found that indicated any
thing about this tradition.
While in Raleigh Chief Bob was
not once seen with a colored person,
and this led to the question as to his
racial prejudice. 1T was interesting to
learn that the Catawba Indians do not
associate with negroes, and in the re-
verse, the black man is repulsive to
the Indian. He is not E~yed to go
on the Cataw ba, reservat ton. 1t is d
fact that although there are eighty
members of the Catawba tribe living
in South Carolina that there has not
been one instance of miscegenation
with the negro race. yet there are very
few full blooded Indians in the reser
walton, the native having been ANAL
Gamated with the AnglO-SaXOn.

While Drunk. Struck the Mayor
In The Face.

Columbia, N. c., July 2f-Mr S. S.
Cartwright was brought before Mayor
Leigh on the charge of contempt of
court, which charge grew out of the
assault he committed on Mayor Leigh
Friday afternoon when he was being
tried for drunkenness and disorderly
conduct. He was found guilty and
sentenced to serve fifteen days in jail.
The sentence is considered unusual
ly lenient, for an Imprisonment SEN

have been imposed, and the maximum
even exceeds that.
The night Mr.. Cartwright was re-
leased on payment of the fine and
costs he went to the home of Mayor
Leigh and apologized for the assault,
asking the Mayor to take into consid-
GRAFTON his condition at the time, etc.
He was assured by Mr.. Leigh that
no personal feeling existed on mis-
part, but the outraged dignity of the
law and the Office must be satisfied.

aside positively to diSappoint a fu-
