The sudden adjournment to-
day of the Federal inquiry into
the alleged cotton pool before the
special grand jury sent a thrill
of hope in certain quarters of
the financial district that perhaps
the government had decided to
call off the investigation.
Clark McKercher, Assistant
Attorney General, soon dispelled
that hope by later announcing
that other witnesses were to be
called at further grand jury ses-
sions. Plans for a deeper probing
Of the alleged cotton pools will,

A HIGHLAND PICNIC.
To be Held at Red Springs May
18-Now a Good Time for All
Scotchmen to Read up on
Their History.
II the Editor of The Robesonian.

II the Editor of The Robesonian.
1t is good time now for all
Scotchmen to read up on their
history. 1t is full of interest.
After their defeat at Culloden,
CONSERVATION and despair filled
the Highlands. The Duke OF
Cumberland spared neither age
nor sex in his devastating war
fare. Ali houses were burned,
fiocks butchered, and all wound
ed slain. He acted the role
that Sherman would have liked
to follow in his invasion Of the
South, had not the opinion Of the
world prevented him.
All those horrors were brought
on the people by Prince Charles
Edward. He landed in the He
brides and persuaded the several
chefs of clans to embrace his
claim to the English throne.
The people cared nothing for him,
as their allegiance was given to
their chiefs. Flora Mcdonald
would have been more worthy Of
praise from her countrymen had
She permitted the miserable pol
Groon to be arrested. In the
Highlands every hill was a glib
bet, every croft a ruin, and de-
vastation reigned supreme over
her heathey hills and valleys.
You might ask how did the
people escape from extinction?
It must have been a close call in
deed, but the inhabitants were
hardy, robust people, and were
Injured from childhood to priva-
ton and want. Those that es-
capped the sword and the hang
man were deprived of every priv
ilege. They were disarmed, and
forbidden to dress in their ma
tive costume--the kilt and tartan.
The manufacture of the tartan
was quite an industry, and this
was forbidden. Consider what
would have been the condition in
the South if after the war the
North had forbidden the culture
of cotton! This condition OF
things drove thousands from the
Highlands, and of those who left
some 10000 came to America.
1t would be we'll, as [ have re-
marked, for all Scotch people tc
read up on their history before
coming to the Highland picnic to
he held here on May 18th next.
1t is proposed to have a native
piper dressed in the Highland
costume, and it is expected that
the severel clans will be adorned
with the different tartans that
distinguished their ancestors ir
by-gone times. We don't ex
pect to initiate our forebears by
going down to the Lowlands af
ter our beef and mutton in TO
ray; it might strain the friendly
relations that now exist between
the two sections; but if you will
all come up we will do our leve
best to entertain you.

HALLEY'S COMET.
When to Look for It-Best Time
When 1t Becomes an Evening
Attraction.

When Halley's comet will be
visible is a matter of much inter-
est. of course, and some Robe
sonian readers have been rising
early lately in the hope of get
ting a glimpse. 1t is said to be
visible in the early morning now,
but if you get up and can't see
it don't blame the newspaper.
Prof. J. F. Lanneau, Of Wake
Forest College, told the young
ladies at Peace Institute about it
the other evening. Hear him, as
reported in the Raleigh News
and Observer:
The speaker then told those
present when to look for the
comet. 1t is visible for a short
while each morning, about
quarter after four O'Clock, and
may be seen just to the north Of
Venus, the bright morning star
that has been admired so much
during the present season on &C
count of it's wonderfully bright
appearance. The reason, said
Prof. Lanneau, that more people
have not observed the comet is
because they have not looked for
it at the right time. Some look
too early and some too late.
When visible, the comet is just
above the horizon and is first
seen through the morning mist
that stretches across the eastern
skies.
THE comet, said Prof. Ian
neau, is now approaching Venus
and the earth, and will advance
steadily and rapidly for about a
month, when it will be only A.
900, 900 miles distant. 1t is now
about 101, 900, 900 miles from the
earth. 1t will pass across the
disc Of the sun on May Is, but
this phenomenon will not be OBJ
served, not even through the tel
escope. While the comet is pass
ing across the face of the sun,
the earth will be enveloped in it's
mighty tail and then the astron-
omers and weather men and all
others interested in astronomical
and meteorological phenomenon,
will have the opportunity to
make observations. The wealth
er directors have already receiY-
ed instructions to make special
observations on the mornings of
May II and Is and 10.
AFTER May Is the comet will
be visible as an evening object
1t will be seen at it's best on the
! ! night of May 18th, when it's tai
! will stretch far into the heavens.
: According to Professor Lanneau,
, it is not known just what shape
| the comets tail will occupy ir
the heavens, but it is possible
7 that it will not make as great {
display as have some other com
cts in time past. The comet will
not be very brilliant morning
! object at any time. but will make
! ! it's greatest display when it reach
es the western skies. 1t is prob
able that it will be seer. during
the latter part of May and tn
> first part Of June. It will posi-
bly, be observed, though it will
be very dim, during the latte
!, part of June"

and went to Hartsook, who suspected
Kenny of the forgery. The check was
for $2750. While Hartsook was hold
ing that check another came to him,
which had been paid by Kenny to J. J.
Cahill, also of Oakland. Hartsook was
called upon to make good that paper
as Kenny had ndNfunds.
Instead of doing SO, the photogra-
pher turned sleuth. He located his
man at midnight last night at the ST

arrived. When the accused forger re-
sisted, Hartsook started to drag him
to the police station. Then Inspector
