Three Small Fires.

Tuesday afternoon late fire
was discovered in the building
on Church street occupied by l..
d. Rogers. Prompt work on
part of those around prevented
a serious fire.
Two alarms of fire were sent
in Wednesday. The first call
was about seven o'clock in the
morning and the department
was called to the Seaboard Air
Line yard on billiard street. The
caboose of a freight train was on
fire and the car and the contents
were destroyed. The second
alarm came from box IA calling
the department to the old Roa-
noke Inn. The services of the
fireman was not needed, and
very little damage resulted from
the fire.

1t came to the ears of Justice

whiskey was being sold at the
store of Dezern and he had sew
earl young men summoned to ap-
pear before him and testify as
to what they know about this
violation of the laws. From
some of these witnesses it was
learned that they could get all

DURHAM THE PLACE OF MEETING.
Teachers to Meet Here From June
18th to l4th.

The annual meeting of the
North Carolina Teachers assem-
bly, will be held in Durham be-
ginning June II and holding
through IA.
This is the decision of the
special committee appointed to
select the place of meeting.
This committee, as will be re-
called, met in Greensbor) last
Saturday night, at which time
several invitations were given to
the teachers to hold the annual
meeting at various places-Dur-
ham, charlotte and Morehead
City making offers to the COM
mittee. After carefully consid-
ering these invitations and care
fully canvassing the entire stu
alton the committee decided that
Durham was the best place for
the next meeting.
The citizens of Durham, cham
ber of commerce, the teachers of
the city schools and the faculty
of Trinity college all joined in
extending the cordial invitation
that went to the assembly, and
the people of the city pledged
sufficient financial support to pre-
pare a programme that will con-
tain some ofthe most distinguish
ed educators and lecturers in the
country.
Superintendent w. D. Car
michael, through whom the in
vitations from Durham people
were extended, has received a
letter from Secretary R. D. W.
Connor expressing the thanks
and appreciation of the commit
tee for the interest and support
by the citizens of our city.
The assembly last year met in
Raleigh and more than seven
hundred teachers were in attend
ance. 1t is confidently expect
ed that even a larger number
will attend the Durham meeting.
1t is probable that a special
teachers train will be run from
Durham to Norfolk to carry the
teachers in a body to the James
town exposition and this feature
of the season will be a great
drawing card. The people of
Durham will cooperate in every
way possible with the officers of
the assembly to make the meet
ing a great success.
The officers of the assembly
are: Prof. J. A. Matheson, O.
Durham, president; Superintend-
ent T. r. Foust, of Greensboro,
vice president. and Mr.. r. D.
W. Connor, of Raleigh, secretary.

Cense Runs a DiSpenSary.
SOLD WHIsKEY WITH AHIDDEN HAND
Bad State Of Affairs Causes InVeSti-
cation S4OO Cash Security
IInIaue Blind TIaeF.

G. S. Shepherd, a well known
farmer living west Of the city,
was arrested Monday on the
charge of making brandyin vio-
lation of the Watts and Ward
whiskey laws. He was arraigned
before Justice of the Peace J e.
Owens, waived examination and
was sent over to the grand jury
under bond of $40. His bond
was first fixed at $500, but WIS
areduced on appeal of counsel f.r
zShepherd. He gave bond by
lepositing the cash.
\ Shepherd had gone into the
Business of making brandy In a
wholesale way and open and
above board, without any pre-
tentions at secrecy. His cider
he ordered from other states in
car load lots and he was protect
ed so far as the federal authori-
tiles are concerned with govern
ment license. The manner in
which the law was being openly
violated came TO the sheriff's of
flee and Monday Deputy Sheriff
J. F. Harvard found Shepherd
in the city and he was placed
under arrest. Under advice of
his counsel he waived examina-
ton and was sent to the higher
court.
This is not the first trouble
that Shepherd has found himself
in on account of handling whis-
key. There is now on the dock
cts of the county a case in which
he is charged with selling whis-
key, the case pending until the
next criminal term of court.
Last fall when Solicitor Brooks
was making it warm for a num-
Der of people who were violating
the whiskey laws, G. S. Shep-
herd, commonly known as Sam"
Shepherd, was on the grand jury
and in his Investigations, the So
licitor found that he had govern
ment license to sell whiskey, this
being before he put in his brandy
still attachments to his business.
1t was after this that the sol,ci-
tor caused the arrest Of Shepherd
on the whiskey selling charge.
In this case the fact that h. had
license to sell whiskey viii be
used against him, as the provis-
ions of the state whiskey laws
are such that the possession Of
whiskey license from the govern
ment is prima facie evidance Of
his guilt under the state law.
Recently, however, Shepherd
secured license for the manu-
facture of brandy and revenue

tory where such stills are allow
ed. In other words he was look
ing after his fences on the gov
ernment side but paying no at
tention to the state law covering
this traffic.
Report from the neighborhood
in which Shepherd lives and has
been doing business tell of a bad
state Of affairs. Il is said by
those who are frequently in that
section that on Sunday crowda
of people gather from Chapel
Hill, Durham, Hillsboro and 9TH
er places and they have things

DRANK 2 OUNCES LAUDANUM
Thomas Browning Attempts Suicide
Wednesday Afternoon.
NO REASON GIVEN FOR THE RASH ACT
Physicians Timely Arrival Saves Him
-GlyGn TO Gloomy "SpellS"
His Home in fdgemORt.

Thomas Browning, young
man who looks to be some % or
"a years of age, attempted sui
eide late Wednesday afternoon
,, by drinking two one ounce bot
ties of laudanum. There is no
doubt but that he intended to
Z end his life and the only reason
that he was not successful was
the prompt arrival of a physician.
For sometime he lay in an ex-
tremely dangerous condition but
later he was moved to his home
in Edgemont and the last heard
from him was that he would sur
vive his attempt at self destruc-
ton.
Just why Browning attempted
to end his life is not known. He
gave no warnings of his inten-
tions, other than to quit work
and say he would work no more
in this life, and curing the day
he did not seem out of the ordi-
nary frame of mind. Some of
his friends suggested that he fire.
quently had SPELLS" this being
said with a view of framing an
excuse for his efforts of self
murder.
/ Browning held a position with
W. R. Herndon. working at the
Parrish street stables. About
4:30 o'clock Wednesday after
noon he left the stables, telling
} the men in charge that he did not
have anything against them, but
that he was not going to work
} any more, for him or any other
person. He was told to go home
and rest and to report for work
this morning.
From there he went to the Or
ange street stables of Mr.. Hern-
don and asked Mr.. James Green
for his time. This was refused
and he was told to go home and
rest from work today. He then
asked Mr.. Green to loan him 40
cents. This was done. He ap-
peared to be half crying. and as
he walked away he said: Good
bye" Mr.. Green says that he
was not under the influence of
whiskey. A little later ne came
back to the side OF the stables, at
the blacksmith shop, and one of
the men saw him empty the con-
tents of a bottle into a dipper
and drink it. He called to one
of the men in the stables and
another went after some one to
tell them of the act. When they
were returning they saw Brown
ing empty a second bottle into
the dipper and before they could
stop him he drank that also.
Then the bottles were taken
from his hand and it was seen
that he had drank two ounces of
laudanum. A physician was
quickly called.
When DIR. Calvin Hicks arrived
Browning was practically uncon-
scious and a little later he was
unconscious. The stomach pump
was used and after this he was
given antidotes. In something
more than an hour he showed
some signs of reviving and two
or three hours after the occur
renee he was taken to his home
in Edgemont. While not out of
danger later in the night it was
thought that he would recover.
Browning had gone about his
attempt at self destruction in a
deliberate manner. One bottle
showed that it had been pur-
chased from the drug store Of c.
+. King & Sons and the other
from the Thomas Pharmacy.

This showed that he knew what
he was doing and that he knew
that he could not get more than
a small bottle from any one drug
gist.

Browning, is about % years of
age and married. He has no
children. He lives in the Edge
mont section with his wife, who

Surprise That Was Not.

Several young ladies of this
place planned to make a surprise
party upon one of their friends
last Sunday evening, but as usual,
a slip OF the tongue peculiar to
the fair sex, made the plot known
to the victim, and when the time
came, herhome was Conspicuous
with her absence" The disgust
ed coterie then sent one of their
number out to find and ~pursuade,
unsuspiciously, the missing Miss
to come home and make the sur
prise two-fold for her; but the
scouts efforts proved futile. A
change of program vas decided
upon after realizing that really
the surprise had befell their lot.
Ii was thercupcn decided to try
the home of another young Miss,
where the surprise was a grand
success and the moment graced
with pretty presents as an appre-
citation Of the presence of the
principal to the surprise party.

The pupils of the Avon schools
gave a very pleasing entertain
ment in the opera house at that
place on Friday evening last.
Each one, large or small perform
ed his part very creditably. of.
ter the entertainment there was
an auction sale of baskets. Anot-
her pleasing feature (for small
folks) was the fishing pond"
where with a lath for a pole, and
a string and hook they "6shed"
from behind a curtain sundry ar
ticles that, only in imagination
were akin to fish. The proceeds
OF the evening were about $50.
The Avon schools under the prin-
cipalship of "Will7 Chamberlain

The Tabor State Bank has not
been effected by the money strin-
gency, the topic OF the moment.
Checks and drafts, no matter how
large, have been promptly paid to
all corners, and this fact should
strengthen the faith Of customers
and depositors in SO sound an ms
'titution. 1t has also proven, that
it has been and will continue to
do an honest business and protect
and safeguard the funds of their
patrons. The people should APP
preciate this and compensate the
men in back of it by rendering
them the same liberal patronage
as they have in the PAST. Tn mo
ney situation Of today in many
cases is misunderstood due to
Misrepresentation of some daily
papers which have nothing else to
90, but give reports which are
chiefly fictitious. Granting that
there is a shortage of money, yet
this dos not imply that banks
will 60 bankrupt. Last winter
there was a shortage Of cars, yet
this did not mean that the rail
roads have quit business. The de
mand has become l1rger than the
supply, but things will even up in
a few weeks and all will flow as
smooth as before.
