made purchases on Saturday either

having duplicates of those already
sold ordered from factory or head

given at the big sale

four of the choicest and best of them
all, and it is your opportunity to Sc
cure one of these fine pianos at just
what it cost to build them. There
are two fine Worlds Fair Premium
styles in beautiful mahogany cases,
with the best actions made in Am
erica. One elegant French Burl Wal
nut. standard make, that will last a
life time; one fine quarter sawed
oak that has been admired by every
body.
These bargains must go TO some
one by Tuesday night This is your
chance Do not let it pass.

and the good work of Howell in
the box.
The Compress Giants, a color

Particulars of the Killing al
Antioch SATURDAY..

In Mondays Robesonian men
ton was made of the: killing of
Henry Washington at Antioch
Saturday. The inquest was held
Monday by Special CoronercD.
W. Biggs, Of Lumberton!9e G. II was
in evidence at the inquest that
Henry Washington, Charley
Mccormick and five other
colored boys were together in an
unoccupied house atAntioch Sat-
urday afternoon when Henry
accusedCharley Of being the only
coward in the crowd, as he had
pistol in his pocket. This Char
ley denied and then Henry
proposed to his other companions
that they, take the pistol away
from Mccormick, and he and
two others seized Charley.
While these four were tussling
a fifth boy grabbed the pistol
out of Charley's pocket and ran
into an adjoining room. Having
accomplished Cnelf purpose OF
taking the pistol the others re-
leased Charley, who immediate
ly followed the other boy, seized
the pistol from him and fired
through the open door into
the room where the other
boys were. The ball struck
Henry Washington in the
left temple. This happened
about six o'clock in the
evening and Henry died at one
O'Clock in the morning. He did
not regain consciousness after he
was shot.
The boys who witnessed the
shooting tried to make it appear
accidental, but it appears that
Charley was standing apart from
the others when he shot and it
seems that he fired Intentionally.
Charley escaped and has not
yet been captured.

developed in connection with
the last session of the Croatan

Whereabouts, in that a pretty
young white teacher, who was
brought from New York State
as a teacher in one Of the most
important departments, has
married one Of the brightest and
best-looking young Croa tans.
among the students, the mar
riage having been in New York
State for the reason that the
intermarriage Of Indians and
white people is prohibited by
law in this State. The teacher
was Miss Myrel E. Sharp, and
the young Indian she married is
J. H. Dial, son of a well-to-do
Croatan at Lumberton. She is
about thirty years old and he
about tWenty-three. "
The father of the groom lives
near Pates, and not at Lumber
