A Conscience Contribution.

The sheriff of Forsyth county
received a letter a few days ago
from an unknown writer, contain
ing "conscience" contribution
of 81, The letter was mailed at
Advance, Dsvie county, and the
writer said:
'The way it happened I was on

but was not on the wagon when it
was weighed. For damages done
Mr.. Hinshaw & Bynum several
years ago in the weight of load

amount of one dollar. I enclose
the dollar which you will please
hand to them. They have store
across the street south of the
Piedmont warehouse. The last I
knew of them John Brown was
their bookkeepe,. If you cannot
find them you may give the money

may select. The money does not

The firm was in business in
Winston 20 years ago and the
senior member is still there. It
is supposed the dollar was turned
over to him. While the individ-
ual was long time repenting it
is qualification to know that he
repented and gave evidence of it
by making good. There is yet
hope for the folks who get pay for

fire AT LEXINGTON.
The Curry Block on Main Street Destroyed.
Estimated Loss 5000,

Lexington, April 12.-Earl y
this morning fire practically de-
stroyed what ls known as the
Curry block on Main street here,
entalling a total loss estimated at
$13, 900. The cause of the fire
is unknown. When first discov-
cred about l clock this morn
Ing, smoke and fumes were seen
in the grocery store Of Motin &
Loftin The fire companies re-
sponded promptly to the alarm.
but before the hose could be ap-
piled, the fire had reached the
second story and was beyond con-
troll. Four streams of water un-
der heavy pressure conquered the
flames after about three hours of
exciting work. Only the good
work of the firemen confined the
fire to one block.
Many people were sleeping on
the second floor of the building,
1t being known as the Central
Hotel, but all escaped in time.
It is stated on good authority
that A. D. Marlborough, proprie-
tor of the Central Hotel, besides
losing all his other personal prop
erty, left about $500 in cash ID a
trunk, which was burned up
The central Office of the Lexing-
ton Telephone Company was on
the corner of the second story and
was only slightly damaged.
1t Is practically certain that
the burned block will be rebuilt
at an early date.-Special to the

gtanly Enterprise. trRIL 18th.
The Albemarle Index has again
suspended. As yet it's life seems
to have depended almost entirely
upon the support it has received
through campaigns. The Enter
prise has grown accustomed to the
Index and its peculiar munuvers,
and in way we shall miss our
contemporary. We we're rather
hoping that it would survive the
strain, for it represented "the
other sice," and was most loyal
to it's cause. The stockholders
are considering several new turns,
and while nothing definite can be
stated just now, it is more than
probable that by the time a new
campaign rolls around our neigh
Dor will revive under some sort of
name. Mr.. Sanders performed
we'll his part in keeping it alive
one year, and he deserves the
thanks of his party.
A wagon ding almost through
tn streets of Albemarle in broad
daylight and loaded with nearly
eighty gallons of genuine corn IL
quor, should cause our people to
stop and think a moment. It is
painfully evident the men believ-
ed they were safe, SO lax has been
the attitude Of our officials to-,
wards such violations. Sheriff
Love and Officer Kluttz are to be
commended for their prompness
IN this instance, and it is to be
hoped that they will become a
standing menace to evil doers of
this kind.
Upon his return from Rich
mond, DR.. V. A. Whitley says the
examination made by the special
lists at the Pasteur Institute indi-
Gates that the dog which bit the
little son of Milas Morgan, and
little Miriam Seago, was un-
doubtedly rabid, In view of this
the parents may feel that they
have taken wise precaution.
We have talked with a number
of our fruit growers, and the
opinion seems to prevail that all
the fruit is not killed. The peach

Report Of Gaddy's Arrest Is a Fake, Train
Runs into a Handcar.
Lexington Dispatch, April 10th.


Lexington Dispatch, April 10th.
Wednesday morning local pas
senger train No. 8 ran into 6
handcar loaded with section hands
just above High Point and knock
ed 1t sky-high. The men leaped
for their lives and were unhurt,
but the car was smashed and tools
and dinner pals were flung in
steen directions. Nobody was
hurt and the train came to a
standstill quickly. The section
hands got the fright of their lives.
Andrew Beck, who lives on
Thomasville Route 5, in Conrad
Hill township, brought his little
11-year.old son, Columbus. to
Lexington, seeking a mad stone,
as the boy was bitten Sunday by
q dog belonging to Lindsay Beck.
Sheriff Dorsett's mad stone was
applied and stuck for a consider
able time.

offered his entire earthly possess
sions to lawyer who can under-
stand the books. It is supposed
that the gentleman's 3 large salary
goes along with the other prop
erty, and 1t is also supposed that
the offer is in good faith, since it
was made in public and with q
great show of earnestness.
It is refreshing to come upon a
colored man who ls industrious
and peaceful, who works every
minute he can and saves his mon
eY. Sylvester Hickle is such q
negro. He is from South Caro-
lima but has made Lexington his
home, and is engaged on the rail-
road near town. He has already
bought and paid for lot and
has built house, which he is
paying for in installments. He
does not drink, has never been ar.
rested and has never even been

industry he Is acquiring a home
and enjoys the respect of white
folks who are willing to help him
along.
Last week we reported a ere.
port'' to the effect that Gaddy
had been captured at Danville.
Mr.. Bell, of Lane Brothers, went
to Danville to investigate and
found niger about half the size
of Gaddy, looking no more like
the murderer than bale of hay.
Some man named Laff1er, who ia
said to have lived IN Lexington,
but now lives in Danville and
calls himself a detective, wired
here that the negro was Gaddy,
but when reply was sent in for
particulars, the detective failed
to give them. Capturing notep
criminals is nuisance and the
