and w. W. Harkins have just return
ed from a raiding expedition in Sur
ry county, where they captured three
large blockade distilery outfits in
the region of Round Peak Mountain,
in Surry county. Not having any
deputy marshal along, nore Of the
blockaders were arrested. uut war
rants will be issued for them. At one
big still. Of 12O gallons capacity the
revenuers had to pass a sawmill
about a mile from the place they were
bound for. This mill, as soon as they
we're out OF sight, gave several blasts
from its steam whistle, clearly mott
flying the owners Of the blockade out
fit that the sreuenners were coming.
The officers were much amused at this
old-fashioned sign =language,and, of

still absent, but the worm was. such

the mo%onshiners to "tote" it off so
it was destroyed and a large quantity
Of "beer'' poured ON the ground.

That Dates May Not Conflict.

Raleigh, ~Special-Secretary Joseph
E. Pogue, Of the North Carolina State
Fair, announced Friday that there
will be held at an early date at some
central point a meeting Of the secre-
taries Of big fairs in Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia
for the purpose Of organizing a grand
circuit Of fairs, such as has never
been attempted in the South before.
One Of the special results expected
is that there will be no conflicts of
dates for big fairs that would make
inroads on either attendance at gen
eral attractions that would follow
fair circuits. It is expected that at
least three or four Of the larger North
Carolina fairs will be included, af.
fording them advantages never before
enjoyed.

FIVE HUNDRED INFATUATED FE'
MALES GO ON THE WAR
PATH.
OFFICERS COME TO RESCUE
Many Of The Irate Armed With
sIuneshots Made From Old Stock
inas-shots Fired BY The Con-
stabulary.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 21.-Ffve hun
dred women armed with clubs and
stones Friday at noon attacked 15C
clerks, stenographers and other EN-
ployes of the Pressed Steel Car Com
many as they came out of the mill for
lunch. Most of the employees were
beaten badly and they were later sur
rounded in the restaurant where they
were being fed by the company. The
angry women, who were wives, sisters
or sweethearts of the strikers, hand
led the young men without gloves.
Many of the women were armed
with slungshots made by placing a
stone in the toe of long stocking.
Eighteen members of the state con-
stabulary came to the rescue of the
clerks and after firing a half hundred
shots over the head of the women,
beat them off with their maces. Ev-
ery one of the clerks were injured in
some way. At an early hour Friday
morning there was an attempt made
to fire the stockade in which the
strike breakers were asleep. Strik-
ers from the outside threw in burning
excelsior which had been soaked with
OIL setting fire to the place at many
points. Ten men have been arrested.
Charges were made here that 1000
strike-breakers, 700 of them New
York men, are being detained against
their will in the walled mills" of the
Pressed Steel Car Company, where
employees have been on strike for
several weeks.
Two men, who claimed to have es-
capped from the stockade, declared
that men who tried to get away have
been beaten and shot at by armed
guards.
The whole force of 1000, these men
say, were hired under false pretenses
in New York and Philadelphia, and
have been kept at work by threats
and abuse.
There was lively riot on the river
bank Friday morning when the steam
or Pfeil conveyed so new strike
breakers across the river to the Press
ed steel plant, but the constabulary
used their clubs freely and dispersed
the mob, but not before they mad
thrown stones and shot at the boat.
The strike is about over, it Is be-
lieved. The strikers have given up
most of their demands and have Of
fered to return to work if given few
small concessions. These the COM
pany has refused to make.

BIG MAN LANDED
ON A SMALL BOY
CHARLIE MILLER CHARGED WITH
ASSAULT ON DImINUTIvE
BLACK.
Has Been insPoIiee Court 5efore-ls
Hard-Headed, And Mace Makes
Little Impression.

An ugly case came up in City Court
Saturday against Charlie Miller
colored. who was charged with assault
with intent to commit murder, An
alteration arose between Miller, who
ha san unusually powerful physique
and little negro boy over the pay
ment of a nickel for some lunch, which
Miller had bought and divided with
the little negro. The result was that
the boy got the worst of the difficulty
and is suffering from badly cut ear
and bruised head
According to Miller's version OF the
AFFAIR as told to Oficer Ed Green. who
made the arrest and lodged the often
der in Jail, Miller had bought lunch
at Tegarden's hotel Not far from the
hotel he met the boy. who offered him
a nickel for half of the lunch. Miller
agreed and gave the boy part OF the
lunch, and the boy in turn paid him
the nickel Upon looking at the lunch,
the boy decided that was not what he
wanted and asked Miller. for the nickel
back. This was refused, whereupon,
1t is claimed, the boy hit him with a
rock. Miller says he did not have
rock in his hand, but had his open
knife, which he threw with consider
able force, hitting the boy on the side
Of the head and cutting the ear fright
fully.
Miller is described by the police as
being the most powerful man physical
~ with whom they have had any deal
ings for years, and he also has the
reputation of being dangerous char
acter. He has been in trouble before.
On one occasion when he resisted, the
officer had to hit him twelve times
with his mace before he submitted to
being taken to jail His victim in this
case is very small colored boy.
Two other cases were reported this
morning Mine Host, Porter Erwin not

HAS CONFIDENCE
IN GEERS DIRECT
WAS BEATEN FAIRLY BUT IS IN
THE GAME YET, SAYS DR..
WoLDRlDGE.
Thinks Walter Hal a Remarkable
Horse-Unusually Hard Break In
Luck for Merry Maury Colt.

Mr.. w. P. Woodbridge has returned
from winchester, where he saw Geers
Direct defeated in the free-for-all pace
wednesday by Walter Hal. Consider
ing his unbounding love and admira-
ton for his horse, Mr.. Woodbridge is in
remarkably good spirits and takes the
defeat like the true sportsman that
he is. Commenting on the race he
said in substance: well, it's just
this about it. He was beaten but it
took a mighty good horse to do it.
He did it fairly and squarely, he was
in better form, having taken part In
eighteen races this season, re had to
exert every effort to turn the trick
and then he did it only by narrow
margin" Mr. Woldrige then launched
into line of conversation filed with
praise for Walter Hal. He said that
there is no gamer horse to be found
anywhere, and that it does him good
to see a horse that is almost a full
brother to Geers Direct show such
remarkable nerve, speed and endur-
ance. 1.-THE only thing l regret about
it is that | have got to meet him so
many times again." said Mr.. VOL
bridge. He is not near ready to give
up, though, and has. as much conf
dence in his horse as he ever had
even more.
Il have been raising race horses "all
my life" he continued, 'but never
before have l seen horse have as
hard luck as Geers Direct. In every
enc of the twelve races in which he
has taken part, he has drawn the out
side track, and what is even more
remarkable, the horse we knew to be
his strongest opponent has in every
case drawn the pole. Take the race
at Fayetteville, for instance. We
knew that Opal Wilson would be the
horse Geers would have TO beat.
Geers drew the outside track and Opal
Wilson the pole. Down at Memphis
last year with eight horses starting,
we knew that Thomas w. Lawson was
the animal we would have to go
against. Lawson drew the pole and
Geers the eighth and last place. Also
at Winchester Wednesday with Walter
Hal as the strongest opponent and
four entries, Hal drew the pole and
Geers the last place." This does not
seem to be bothering Mr.. Woodbridge,
however, as he knows that such
fearful run of luck cannot continue
long.
When asked about the coming races
between Geers Direct and Walter Hal
he replied that it was about toss
up. "You will have great race
when they get here if they don't Kill
themselves before they get here" He
believes that Geers will increase In
strength considerably as he becomes
more seasoned to the hard work and
he says that either horse that has the
of the pole as between 1t
ard an outside track, should win pro-
vided there was not another kind oil
luck that interfered.
