A FOUL CRIME.
A Negro Makes Vicious Assault Upon a
Woman Living Near whitney.

The little community of Pen
nington, on the branch road o
the Yadkin leading to Whitney
was alarmed Tuesday Afternoon
about / o'clock by one of the mos
heinous crimes ever attempted il
1 the county.
!. James R. Moss, for a long tim
postmaster at the place, a mer
chant and leading business man o
the community, left his home
few minutes before one O'Clock
Mrs. Moss was sitting by the win
dow, looking upon the railroad
sewing. She observed negro mai
lounging suspiciously around the
culvert hereby, and noted that ht
made frequent glances toward hel
window. She locked the front
door. The negro few minutes
later came to the door and gave il
several vigorous shakes. He then
went to the rear door and was try.
ling to get in, when George Letter,
a white man who worked upon the
place, was attracted by the negro's
actions, and tried to prevent him
from entering. The negro is a big.
british fellow, and the fight was
an uneven one. He bit Mr.. Lef-
ler's hands severely and otherwise
injured him. Breaking loose from
Mr.. Letter, the negro broke win.
dow and eolted through. Mrs,
Moss was at the phone endeavor.
ing to give the alarm, when she
was grabbed by the brute.
The timely arrival of Mr.. Moss
prevented any serious bodily in.
jury to Mrs Moss. The negro at
tempted to run, but in his effort
to jump through a window fell
upon the bed, He was caught by
Mr.. Moss, who with the help of
others who had by this time come
upon the scene dragged the fellow
out into the hall. Mr.. Moss got
his gun and would have shot the
fellow; but was prevented by those
present from doing this, but during
the skirmish succeeded in using his
gun as a club and gave the fellow
some heavy blows upon the head,
It was the thought at that the
negro could not live long. A
wound back of the head seems to
be the most serious. While we
can get no definite statement as
to the extent of injuries, it seems
to be prevalent opinion that the
negro will recover.
Five nor more than fifteen years
in the State prison is the punish
ment under conviction for this
crime. While excitement and in.
dignation run high, sober thought
seems to prevail, and there
is no indications of a lynchlng,
The negro gave his name as
Henry Young, saying that he lived
at Norwood. He was evidently
crazed with cocaine or other dope
though he had presence of mine
about him to protect himself ane
try to escape. His language wal
vile. and his actions those of {
demon.
| Mrs. Moss is in precariou
condition. The shock was ter
rible strain upon her, and a phon'
message from Mr.. Moss yesterda.
morning indicates that he enter
tains grave fears as to her condi
tion. Her two little children
we're the only ones present witt
Mrs. Moss when the trouble start
ed.
The negro is now in Jail, ant
has been given all medical atten
tion necessary.

HOLIDAYS FAR
FROM WELCOME
CITY DAY LAB0RERS S0RELY
PlNCHED BY THEM
Labor and Admission Days, Coupled
with Captain AubIe's Funeral
Cut Heavily Into the FAM
lily Income

The past week, while 1t has been one
of ease for the well-paid clerks on
monthly salaries at the city hall, has
been anything but a blessing to the
poorly-paid city laborer.
Holidays have crowded so close on
each other that the clerks have scarce
ly had time to do what little work
they have to do between times. THE
week opened with holiday, Labor
day; Wednesday was a holiday, be-
ing Admission day, and then came the
regular Saturday half holiday. The
clerks who enjoyed these holidays will
still find $100 or $3.50 waiting for them
at the auditors Office October l. but
the day 1aborer will not fare so well.
| The day laborer who works for the
city is paid $2.25 a day. When he gets
in every working hour Of every work.
ing day he makes as much at $3.50 a
week. But he is paid only for the time
he works. Monday was $2.25 on his
monthly warrant, Wednesday another
$2.25 was clipped off. and yesterday af-
| ternoon $1.12h was further deducted.
The really lucky city laborer will re-
ceive $7.88 for his weeks work.
! The laborer couldn't help it. Many
of them would much rather have
worked and got their little pittance
than have taken the holiday, as many
of them had enjoyed more holidays
| IIldu IHey SdiOu 1pout' but my heAu
no choice. Ordinarily the laborer
works Saturday afternoon, while the
we'll paid clerk is spending the hall
holiday at the beach or mountains, but
yesterday afternoon occurred the fun
eral of Capt. w. H. Auble, and D. K
Edwards, chief inspector of public
works, suggested to the employees that
it would be fitting to observe the
mayors proclamation and attend the
funeral. That SLIP looked better to
most of them than a funeral but the
''big boss" had spoken and the 'bie
boss's' Iightest wish is to be obeyed.
AS a result of the holidays during
the past week the "big boss' has moi
overdrawn the amount allowed month
ly by the council for his payroll. As
another result there will be a goo6
