with a note of pride, with an air OF
dignity incongruous to the cottage of

rolled map before the eyes. Here was
the main spring, the little house with
the green VINES. the opportunity for

rance and deliberate crime. And in

Dockery Fine Physical Specimen
Young Dockery is a magnificent |
physical specimen, He is over six
feet, with a massive figure, broad
forehead, wide-parted grey eyes and
ID name of black hair. AS he was ta+
ken down on the stretcher yesterday,
he was fully conscious, but there was
the ashy look that portends death, the
deep lines made in few minutes. the
look from his large eyes as he rolled
them with the unconcern of pain at
the gaping crowd that told eloquenty
of suffering and pointed the way or
the long road.

is impotent, men would take the IN

could not stay in Raleigh any longer.
Ought he to be tolerated? Ought the
fathers of Raleigh to permit such
man to run al large on the streets?

no connection and could not reach
Raleigh until twelve o'clock Saturday

noted for his courtesy and cleverness,
and has made many friends who sin

skillful treatment. which, IL is hoped, |
will pull him through.
