It is we'll known in the State that
Chairman Adams does not like Col
!ector Brown, nor does he like Dis
trict Attorney Holton or District
Attorney Skinner. No one will deny
that these officials are capable and
efficient and that they do execute
the law. They do not believe in
compromising with criminals, but
they try to bring them to justice
Is this the rea son that Adams don't
like them
We predict that he will soon have
the same complaint against Collector
Martin.

NEGRO FOUND CAN OF MONEY.
A High Point Barber unearths Can OF

A High Point Barber unearths Can OF
Gold and Silver, About $500.
A tin can full of gold and silver,
supposed to have been buried dur
ing the civil war, was unearthed
at High Point on the 18th inst. by
a negro barber by the name Of
George Rouss. While walking down
the railroad track in front of the
Globe Home furniture factory, his
coat was caught by an iron rod
driven down in the ground. This
excited his curiosity, and pulling at
it the dirt caved in around it, ex-
posing to view tin can which
proved to be filled with gold and
silver to the amount of $500. The
tin can was 80 rusty that good por.
tion of it had rotted away. Whether
it was hid during the war or later
by thieves, it is not probable that
any one will claim it, and the negro
is overjoyed at his find. It is known
for a certainty that big sums of
money were hid here during the
civil war and at different times peo-
pie from other States have come to
look it up, but to no avail. Twelve
wagon loads Of copper were hauled
from the depot here in the early
morning hours of February. 1864,
and buried 800 yards north of the
depot. Some time ago two gentle
men from Mississippi who helped 20
bury the copper wire were here, but
could not locate it. It is worth at
least $4,000 today if it could be
found.
