Tom Green Slabs Emmett KeSt.-Green
Witness for Wesley Bates

Two negroes, Tom Green and
Emmett West got into a fight Sum-
day afternoon, and Green claims
that West attempted to shoot
him and he at once used his
knife. The result is that Green
is now in Jail and West is at the
hospital, where he is receiving
medical attention.
The fracas occurred, so it is
said, over the fact that the two
negroes bet 81 over the name of
a hat and became involved in a
dispute over deciding which had
won the money.
Green did a good job of cary
ing and the result might have
been worse had he not broken
his knife and left part of the
blade in the hip of his antagonist.
When the officers went to ar
rest Green he tried to escap and
one of the officers used his gun,
which caused the negro to stop.
He was shot in the calf of the
leg, and the wound is not a SER
i0us nature.
IMPLICATED IN MURDER.
Green was tried before the
mayor Monday on the charge of
assaulting West and was bound
over to court under a bond of
$50. which he could not give
and was sent to Jail. Among
other things about Green he is be-
lieved to be a partnerin the mur-
der Of Jack Robertson, although
no positive proof has been ascer-
tained. He was designated by
Bates as a witness by whom he
hoped to prove an alibi. and his
testimony will be brought out at
the proper time. However. there
is talk that he was connected
with the murder of Robertson and
not only knew of it, but that he
aided Bates in the deed.

dates Begin the Work Of the
Campaign In Dead
Earnest.

State senatorial campaign was
begun in Durham yesterday by
the opening speech being de-
livered at Mangum's store by
Mr.. Brooks, nominee for Con-
.gress, and the real work of the
campaign was begun by most of
the county candidates being
present and shaking hands and
telling why the Democratic ticket
would and should be elected.
A good number of voters were
out at Mangum's Store to hear
the speeches that were delivered.
At 8 o'clock Monday night Mr..
Brooks spoke in East Durham to
a large crowd. Much enthusiasm
was manifest and Mr.. Brooks
made a good speech.
COUNTY AFFAIRS.
Democrats are sure of getting
every man on their ticket, but
some are willing to concede that
the ticket for the Legislature will
be the closest of any. There is
no doubt expressed as to whether
Hon. J. S. Manning will be elect
ed Senator from this district,
and as for Congressman Brooks
and Solicitor Fuller. you rarely
hear their names mentioned as
they are so sure of election.
However. Republicans are claim
ing that they expect to make big
gains and hope in many places
where the Democrats think they
have their fences well fixed, to
break over and cause trouble.
The principal point that is
hoped for the Republicans in
electing their man to the legisla-
tuie. so far as we have heard, is
the fact that he waged such a
war in the recent prohibition
campaign and came out so victor
ious that those that helped in
that will give him a chance to
ask for their suffrage in this
election. This position is Great
ing more talk than any other
office in the county. There is
little doubt expressed any where
about the result of the election
in other county officers, but the
work of both goes on just the
same as if the Democrats en-
pected it to be close and the Re-
publicans hoped to elect their
men.
NATIONAL AFFAIRS.
These be stirring times in ma
tional political affairs. Every
politician, big and small is exert
ing himself to become a leader
and puller Of votes for his choice
of party, whether for the hope
of reward or for the love of the
party remains to be seen after
the battle is over and the distri-
button of public office is begun.
The indications are from Asso-
ciated press reports that Bryan
would be elected il the election
should be held at once. and if the
tide does not change its course
he will receive a larger majority
than was at first conceded to the
Press reports say
that Taft and his forces are on
the run ard that the only chance
they now have is to have some
thing occur that will cause public
sentiments to greatly change in
their favor. 1t remains to be
seen whether such predictions !
are merely talk or whether they .
have good ground for such a
forecast.
One thing they say is helping
along the Democratic forces and /

following write-up taken from Its
columns Is the name sof Thomas L.

If we were to give history OF the

this connection there has been no
more aggressive element at work
than that furnished by the paving
and pressed brick manufacturer.

Its name has stood for those COM
mercial principles which are neces-
sary for commercial success-abso-
lutte integrity of purpose, fair deal
ing and generous treatment, both to-
ward the trade whose confidence was
sought and all those in its employ.
That the business should have grown
to It's present proportions is an evil
dence that the company's methods
have met with the approval of the
public.
Inc officers comprise: Geo. f. Mill
Ter, president, and Thomas L. Evans,
treasurer and manager.
In addition to the friendliness ex-
listing between this company and Its

HELPS BUILD CHURCH.
Pastor Makes Most of the Concrete
Blocks for Church.

Sterling, ILL.,, May 27.-The Rev. w.
w. Heihl and his congregation have
just finished large and unusual
stunt in the line of church work. The
labor unions may get after the pastor
and call for his union card, but it will
be too late. The pastor has done the
job. Mr.. Heihl, who is a Methodist
has broken the record for building up
his church, that favorite ambition
with ministers. He has done the
thing literally, and the result is one
of the largest churches west Of
Chicago. 1t seats LOO persons, is
150X100 feet, and if built by contract
would have cost at least $4,000. The
pastor and his flock pitched in and
made the concrete blocks of which the
building is constructed. They have
been two years at it, but the work is
finished now and the church was dedi-
Gated week or two ago. The
minister himself made more than half
the blocks, and owing to the saving
effected by his work and that of other
Industrious members of his flock the
cost of the building was brought down
to $4,000.
