TWO Members Against Bonds.
II is understood that two members
OF the board of supervisors are on
posed to the issuance OF bonds for
road improvements, but those back of
the movement proposed to keep III
the fight until good results have been
accomplished.
The question of better roads has
been a burning one in Elizabeth CITY
county for several years, but for some
reason no active steps have been taken
in that direction until now.
1t is said that the government will
be willing to give demonstration in
this county by laying several hundred
yards OF road bed, provided the county
will bear the expenses of the material
necessary for the work
The supervisors adopted Il resolu.
ton leaving the question of new
road to Newport News open until Jan.
uary. Mr.. J. b. Lake, through whose
lands the road will pass. has objected,

fore the supervisors in Mr.. Lakes be.

routine matters, including the payment

Hampton Athletics and tho Richmond

Game May Be Contested During the

Two spirited games of football were
played in the championship series
among the battlcships of the North
Atlantic squadron on the Fort Monroe
gridiron yesterday.
In the morning the Iowa ana The
Massachusetts fought two halves with.
out either side scoring, while in the
afternoon the Missouri defeated the
kearsarSe by the score of II To 0.
Fhe games were clever exhibitions
and there was plenty of sensational
features to please the supporters of
the opposing elevens.
Naturally the greatest interest is
felt in the championship battle on Sat,
urday afternoon. 1t is now likely that
thc Alabama and Missouri will he the
opposing teams, as neither of these
ships have been defeated so far in the
series.
The game Saturday afternoon will
therefore be probably the greatest
football battle to be seen here this
season.

Tuesdays Homicide.
Further Particulars of the Kill
ling of Alec McGriff by his
Stepfather, Andrew Ander-
son---The Latter now in
Jail.

Andrew Anderson, the old ne
gro who killed his stepson,
Alexander McGriff, last Tues
day afternoon, on Col. Springs s
Wade place, as published in
Wednesdays issue of The News,
was arrested and lodged in Jail
Tuesday night by Sheriff Hun
ter. He made no effort to escape.
Coroner Caskey held an inquest
over the dead negro the same
night.
McGriff, it seems, who lived
on Mr.. Jack Williams's place,
had been to the river bottoms
after load of hay and stopped
at his stepfather's home. The
two men, 1t is said, began quar-
reling, Anderson accusing Nc
Gritf of causing trouble between
himself and his wife, who is the
mother of McGriff. The old
man, we are told, claims that
McGritf threatened to "brain"
him with an ear of corn, where
upon he discharged his gun,
which he had in his hand, not
for the purpose of killing Nc.
Griff but in order to scare him
The load, however, struck Nc
Griff in the head, killing him
almost instantly.
McGriff, though a young man,
was in very good circumstances,
having accumulated some prop.
erty.

The lO2nd Annual Session of
the General Synod of the
South being Held in Due

Special to The Observer.


Due West, S. c., Nov. g.
The lO2nd General Synod of the
Associate Reformed Presby.
terrain Church Of the South met
here this morning in annual
session with more than 100 of
the ministers and elders present
at the first roll call. The morn
ing session bids fair to be tho
most largely attended in the
history of the church. Dele.
gates are present from every
state in the South in which the
Associate Reformed church has
established missions.
The meeting today was pre-
sided over by the retiring mod
orator, Rev. S. w. Reid, of the
Louisville, KY. church, who
preached strong sermon from
First Corinthians Is 27, eye
are the body of Christ" 1t was
a plain yet striking dissertation
in which the church, as subor.
dinates to the head which is
Christ, was compared with the
members of the physical body
which are subordinate to the
head.
After the sermon the retiring
moderator declared the Synod in
session and called to the chair
the new moderator, Rev. H. B.
Blakely, of Troy, S. c., who
made happy speech, thanking
the body for the honor conferred
upon him. Rev. ID. III. Bonner.
pastor of the Due West church
introduced Rev. DR.. j. A.
Brown, OF the Due West Baptist
church; DR.. j. Lowrie Wilson. OF
the Abbeville Presbyterian
church, and Rev. DR.. II. Ii. Law,
field secretary of the American
Bible Society, all OF whom were
invited to sit as consultative
members.
1t being the noon day hour,
the motion for adjournment until
tonight at 7.15 o'clock was made
and passed. A conference on
education will be held at this
hour when the routine business
of the Synod will again be re-
sumed. Rev. j. A. Smith, of the
Monticello, Ark, church, preach
ed last night to large audience.
