Negroes and ''Croatans'' Create

"CrOatans'' Fired Upon.

Fayetteville, N. c., Oct. pa
fierce fued has sprung up in Cumber-

several families calling themselves
"Croatans," over the subject of sep
arate schools, as result of which
the family of Robt Brewington has
fed to Fayetteville for protection
after their house had been fired into
and their lives threatened by anony-

Some time ago certain residents
of Carver's Creek township, chief of
which were Brewingtons and May
nors, claiming to be Croatans, petit
toned the county commissioners for
separate schools from the negroes of
that section while the latter asked
that no such action be taken, declar-
ing that the petitioners were not Gro
atans but mulattoes. The dispute be-
ing warmer until it came to a cli-
max several nights ago when Brew
ingtons house was fired upon by
a party of negroes. Brewington
Maynor and several others of this
section have since received threaten

suit that Brewington as above stated

ANOTHER PAPER OUT FOR TAFT.
An Illinois German Paper Declares

Need a Conservative President.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 27.-The Illinois
Stats Zeitung yesterday declared in
an editorial for the election of Taft
Far be it from us to minimize
Mr.. Bryan's ability and his many ex-
cellent qualities, but we are of the
opinion that the country needs a
more conservative President than he
would be, a man of experience with
a formidable administrative program.
"Such man is Mr.. Taft. He has
more opportunity to acquaint himself
thoroughly with the various branches
of our most intricate government ma
chinery than any other American;
and even the most enviously inclined
opponent will admit that he proved
himself worthy of every position en-
trusted to him either by President
Roosevelt or the people"

A CARGO OF WEIRD ANIMALS.
A Gift of the Argentine Republic "a
This Country.

Boston, Oct. 24.-With a cargo OF
as Weird animals aboard as were
ever seen in this country, the steam
ship Terminus came into port and
sent the menalgerie ashore. 1t is a
gift from the Government of the Ar
gentine republic to the United
States, and is to be placed in the ma
tional geological gardens at Wash
ington.
The weirdest things in the menag-
cries are two Andes blood-drinking
eagles. The drink half a bucket OF
blood day, and the ship carried
along a herd of sheep, one of which
was killed daily to furnish the
drinks Also there were six vicunas.
They are camels about the size OF
goats, but without a hump. They
eat uncured tobacco as regular
diet, and several bales of tobacco
were aboard, and the purser showed
it was proof. They are said to be
the first vicumas ever imported into
America. There also was a flock OF
Andes turkeys. They have claws on
the ends of their wings and none on
the ends of their toes The native
in charge say they hang by their
wings instead of perching at night.
The animals are sent as a return
gift for several specimens sent to
Argentine by the United States two
years ago. Over a year was spent In
collecting it. ,.

Washington, Oct. 27.-President
Roosevelt was to-day surrounded on

on the occasion of the fiftieth ami

presents from intimate friends.
One of the prettiest reminders of

by the President in his private Office.
His desk was covered by a profusion

SOUTHERN TEXTILE ASSOCIA-

Saturday Night-Mr. TOmpkins
Reads Interesting Letter.

Charlotte, N. c., Oct. 24.-An or

launched this evening under auspici-
Gus circumstances. Overseer, superin-
tendents, mill engineers and others
interested in the practical operations
of the cotton-mill completed the or
ganiZation of the Southern Textile

days spent in hearing addresses.
J. A. Dean, overseer of the Nan

vile, S. c., first vice-president; N.
7. Brown, Raleigh, second vice

nual meeting will be held December
26, in Charlotte. The organization
will have a board of governors per-
fecting the function of an executive
committee, with Mr.. E. E. Smith, of
Chester, s. c., chairman.
A constitution and bylaws were
also adopted after the reading of the
report of the committees appointed
Friday to draw up the same. Half a
dozen papers of practical nature
were presented to the gathering by
men we'll posted on their subjects.
Mr.. D. A. Tompkins read paper of
considerable interest pointing out
the need of cooperation between
the mill man, the men at the heads
of the various departments of the
cotton mill at work, and the farmers
who produce the raw material. He
said that ten years ago cotton
brought thirty dollars per bale, and
a year ago it was worth twice that
until the present depression came on.
This state was caused largely by the
emigration of less prosperous farm
ers to the mills. Education was
urged as factor in raising wages of
operatives.

CHARGED WITH NUMBERING
FELLOW.snNIsTER.
Rev. Ernest Lyons Placed I'm Suffolk
Jail-Motive Said to Have Been
That He Might Assume the Others
Clerical Robes.

Suffolk, Va, Oct. 26.-The Rev.
Ernest Lyons was arrested near here
to-day charged with the murder In
August of the Rev John L. Smith
Smith disappeared very mysteriously
and his body was not found until a
week ago, when 1t was taken out of
the Nansemond River by fishermen.
1t was at first thought that the min
lister was drowned, but the coroner's
inquest developed the fact that the
preacher had suffered a blow on the
temple, which caused mis- death. The
detectives assert that the body was
buried, that 1t remained In the
ground about a month and that IL
was then unearthed and thrown over
board.
Jealousy is known to have existed
between Lyons and Smith, and this
and the further fact that the two
were seen together the day before
Smiths disappearance led to the ar.
rest 1t is believed that Lyons killed
Smith in order that he might assume
his clerical robes, which he has done
in his absence. Detectives who
traced the crime to Lyon were en-
ployed by Smiths congregation.
Lyons broke down after the arrest
wept copiously, but declared his in
nocence of the crime. A preliminary
hearing will be given the minister to-
morrow. No friend has called at the
Jail to extend sympathy. The minis
ters belong to the Sanctified or Fret
Love sect
Lyons claims to have come from
North Carolina.
