AMONG TRANSGRESSORS.

An Erring Husband Brought to
Account and Promises to be
Good Alleged Burglar Ven
lures Back to Town and is
Nabbed-Other Cases.
One D. B. Watts, whose wife
lives at the Lumberton Cotton
Mills and who has himself been
living for some time at Kemper,
S. c., was tried before Justice ]. |
H. McNeill Saturday afternoon
on the charge of deserting his
wife and failing to support her,
but the matter was adjusted,
Watts agreeing to live with and
support his wife, and he was
dismissed upon payment of costs,
Sl.95. His appearance before
Justice McNeill was brought
about on this wise: Saturday
morning Mrs. Watts swore out a
warrant against her husband for
leaving her and said that it was
her information and belief that
he was going that very day to
meet the wife of Tom Bryant, a
section man on the R. & G.. Ry.,
at Kingsdale and run away with
her. Deputy A. E. Spivey took
the matter in charge and when
Mrs. Bryant hired a horse and
buggy and left town Deputy
Spivey followed her. Atold Kings
dale Mrs. Bryant and her driver
and Deputy Spivey arrived in due
time and when the train arrived
from down Kemper way Watts
got off, evidently expecting to
meet his lady love and HE away.
But his plans were upset, if such
, was his intention, for as soon as
he got off the train, before he
had a chance to speak to the lady,
Deputy Spivey took Watts under
his care and brought him to Lum-
berton, with the result as told
! above. Mrs. Bryant came back
to Lumberton with the same driv.
er who went with her to Kings
dale.
Eli Higgins was before Justic,
: ]. H. McNeill Saturday on tn,

Abide Decision.

Wilmi ngton Star, 14th.
The committee of distinguished
party leaders appointed by Dem
ocratic StateChairman A. H. Ell
Ter to consider and report upon
the unfortunate conditions in the
sixth congressional district of
North Carolina, growing out of
the dual convention held at that
same place three weeks ago, COM
pleted their investigation at
Wrightsville Beach yesterday af-
ternoon shortly after 5 O'Clock
without giving any intimation of
what their decision will be with
reference to the case.
1t is gathered, however, from
the trend of the investigation
Yesterday and the line of inquir Y
towards the last, that majority
of the committee probably in
cline to the opinion that neither
of the conventions was strictly
regular and it is believed that it
will be recommended to theState
Committee either that the con-
vention be reconvened or that
a primary be called in the district
to determine who shall be the
nominee of the party. AS to the
wisdom of such a course. among
the party leaders at the beach
from the district, there was a di.
versity of opinion yesterday,
many declaring that such a course
would serve only to intensity the
bitter partisan feeling that has
been engendered while still Others
hold that it is the only solution o1
the knotty problem of just wha'
to do under all the circumstances
Nothing definite, however, will
be known until the special com
mittee makes up it's report ant
the same is submitted to theStat'
committee to be called togethe
later.
The important feature of tn
hearing yesterday was Congress
man Godwin's notification OF tn
committee that he would abid
by any recommendation tina
they might make while anothe
development was that major
ty of the committee had give
expression to the statement ths
Temporary Chairman Geo. f
Bellamy, of the convention, ere
in his ruling as to the protest {
the vote of Cumberland and Ne
Hanover, which action brougf
on al the trouble. 1t was ais
stated that the committee cou
not give the stamp of regularit
to the manner in which Chai
man Bellamy was deposed,
being held, so it is said, by tt
committee that had Chairms
Bellamy's action warranted
deposition of that official,
should have been done on tt
floor of the convention and n
by the congressional executl
committee These and other hor
of the dilemma were wrestl
with for several long hours We
terday, the committee shown
signs of WEAKNESS about 6 o'clo
when the hearings were suspen
ed and members of the bo
went into conference over t
situation.
Unless something unforese
develops, there will be no fnrt
er testimony and report will
made directly to the State co
mittee which it ais presum
will be called together as soon
possible in order that the c.
gressional campaign in the q
trict may be launched at once.

Reported for The Robesonian.
Miss Amanda McDiarmid gave
a porch party last Friday eve
ming to the Xxx Club for her
guests Misses Katie Lee McKin-
non and Katie Mcqueen of Max
ton. A unique contest was held
consisting Of a series of ques-
tions to be answered with a word
ending in x" being significant
as one of the club letters; for in
stance, "A turning point?'' should
be answered with the word
''climax, and ''To mingle?'' with
the word mix Much fun was
had in answering these. There
was no ''booby' prize, thus
avoiding embarrassment on the
part of Mr.. Albert Boylin, who
would certainly have been the
recipient, having answered the
question TO make love" with
the word "perplex," and the
question holding hands" with
the word, mix" and so on
down the line. We are not GER
tain that all the answers were in
the dictionary and we are not
certain that part of them were
not correct. The prize, a volume
of Lyrics from Cotton Land, -
was won by Miss Mildred McIn-
tyre, who very gracefully pre-
sented it to one of the guests.
