An APRIL RECORD
FOR SNOW BROKEN;
FRUITS ARE SAFE
Despite the Fact That Mer-
curry Hit Freezing Point
Last Night the Trees Were
Not Damaged Much.
A CONTINUOUS FALL
OF SNOW RECORDED
Began Yesterday Noon and
Lasted Until This After
noon-Three and One-tenth
Inches Of "Beautiful."

With three and one-tenth inches Of
snow fall in the past ten hours. all
records for snow in April, In this To-
cality, have been broken. Despite the
fact that the snow completely covers
the foliage of the fruit trees and the
official thermometer, shows that the
temperature touched the freezing
mark, last evening, the horticulturists
report that the fruits have not been
damaged to any extent, as yet.
Walter Vosler. the meteorological
observer. with headquarters at the
pumping station, stated this noon
that it began to snow last evening
about ten o'clock and the fall has
been practically continuous. In fig
uring the amount Of snow fall. he
made allowance for rain and sleet,
which. at times, accompanied the
snow.
In looking over his records, which
date back fifteen years, he found that
this fall is the heaviest for the month
Of April, ever experienced In this
community. Snow is not uncommon
during April, but the duration OF the
fall. is seldom SO long and heavy as
yesterday and today. The nearest APP
proach to the record just made was
during April, 1907, when two and
eighteenth inches fell. but nuk M 0d0
continuous period. Nj
Snow Covers Foliage.
Horticulturists were alarmed when
they arose this morning and saw that
the foliage was entirely hidden with
the snow. Hasty examinations Of the
damage done we're made and reports
secured on the temperature during the
night. 1t was the concensus OF opin-
ion on the part of the fruit growers,
that as yet no material damage has
been done. except that many limbs
have ben broken OFF. due to the com.
bined weight OF the foliage and the
snow. One of the growers said that
his trees were not damaged and be-
lieved very little damage would re-
suit, SO long as the temperature re-
mains above the freezing point He
said that the snow. itself, was not
cold enough to kill the fruit pros
poets. The temperature at noon was
"a degrees. The coolest It was dur
Ing the night was 80 degrees. Sun
day night was even colder than last
night. and very probably some Of the
blossoms In the tops Of the trees were
killed The agriculturists say that
none Of the crops are far enough ad-
vanced to be injured. Strawberries
and the like are not injured and can
stand cold snap fairly well.

Budapest, April 19.-Theodore
Roosevelt today Is one of the most
powerful factors in the political world
in Hungary. Although the former
president has spoken no word that
might be construed as directly apply
ing to Hungary's politics, the radicals
have seized on his presence as CAM
paign material in the general election
which Is keeping the entire country at
fever heat. Even by silence, RoOse-
welt cannot escape being made live
issue In whatel lar country he visits.
Besides the rsSlcals who look upon
the United States, as q republic, with
love, many other classes and factions
in Hungary hold that country In great
esteem, the great army Of Hungarians
who have emigrated there forming one
powerful tie.
The former president Of that land,
therefore, is little short OF an idol In
Hungary. The enthusiasm with which
he has been received Is one Of the
most remarkable demonstrations Eu-
rope has seen In years. And the rad
icals, even before his departure. are
turning that to their own account in
the struggle for supremacy.
His Hotel eesieged.
Before Mr.. Roosevelt's hotel this
morning crowds close-packed blocked
the street In each direction. by the
lines struggling out irregularly for
squares.
The program today was one of COM
parative rest. It had been planned to
give the former president, after yes
terday's strenuous route. z touch Of
the country, taking him by special
train to Babolna, where the state
maintains an Arab breeding stud. The
host was the Minister of Agriculture,
with whom Mr.. Roosevelt spent much
time discussing the problems Of Am
erica in developing the land and con-
serving resources compared with the
same problems In Europe, particular
ly Hungary. The distinguished guest
was greatly pleased with the stud
farm. and on the trip many anecdotes
OF horsemanship were recounted. Mr..
Roosevelt matched tales Of cowboys
prowess against stories Of the Hun
garian riders on the steppes.
Little was planned for the day af-
ter the return from Babolna, beyond
the dinner given by the premier,
Count Khuen Won Hedervary. the clos
Ing function OF Mr.. Roosevelt's stay
here. The most distinguished men OF
the nation were invited.

St. Paul, May 28-The public
debate at the school house last
night between the literary socie-
ties of Hope Mills and St. Paul
was a success. The railroad
company ran special train from
Hope Mills here and brought
about so people from there. The
auditorium was we'll filled and
the crowd enjoyed the occasion
very much. After a lively dis.
cussion the judges, Messrs. AR.
McEachern, L. McInnis and 0.
C. Rogers, decided that St. Paul
boys were the best debaters. In
a previous debate at Hope Mills
the Hope Mills boys were the
victors, so it seems that the boys
will have to have another contest
to decide who are the best speak
ers.

to await trail on charges Of steal
ing. McNeill had a strenuous
time for a while Thursday after
noon. He was detected, it is
said, stealing a pair of trousers
from a store and when he started
on his run for freedom it is said
that he was followed by police
man and half the population Of
the downtown section. When
the new Presbyterian church
was reached in the pursuit some
argument arose as to which di-
rection' was taken by the thief,
some thinking they had seen
him running through a field of
oats, others contending that he
had gone under the church. Fin
ally some boys were sent under
the church to see what they
could see and one of the boys
was Mortified a few seconds later
to find himself crawling over a
PROSTATE form that was covered
with dirt, part Of one hand just
sticking out. The boys called
for help and the negro was dug
out. He had gotten into a ditch
under the church and had COW
cred himself completely with
dirt, only leaving a small space
at his nose for breath, but he
had done the job almost too COM
pletely and when rescued it is
said that he was almost all in. It
was some time before the negro
could be revived sufficiently to
lock him up.
There were five warrants out
for this negro. It seems that he
began operations about Wakul-
lah and took everything in sight.
A cloud of witnesses appeared at
the trial and when they got
through with Sandy he had moth
ing on but pair Of overalls and
a shirt. One old lady even claim
ed his socks. Sandy had a valise
full of stuff that he had gathered
up, but they took it all. He is a
comparatively young negro.

RACING MEET.
At Fairmont Saturday - Mrs.
Frank Andrews Will Drive
Rex Hal-Good Races Expect

ed.
There will be a racing meet at
Fairmont Saturday of this week,
at 2 o'clock p. m. ,and as a special
feature a lady will drive one of
the horses in one race.
Owing to the fact that the meet
of the Fairmont Driving Associa-
ton on the Goth inst. was prac-
tically a failure, the weather in
terfering, Mr.. Frank Andrews,
formerly Of Pittsburg, who 8
camping with his wife in a ten.
at Fairmont on account of his
health, decided to get up another
race and charge only 35 cents
admission. In the races on the
Goth Mr.. Andrews drove Rex
Hal, who won three of the five
heats that day. Rex Hal, now
owned by Mr.. J. E. Anderson of
Fairmont, was formerly owned
by Mr.. Andrews, who drove him
and won in many races in the
Carolina circuit before going to
Fairmont. Mr.. and Mrs. Andrews

bia, S. C. Mrs. Andrews will

land, owned by Mr.. J.E. Bryant.
There will be about IA entries
at this meet and three races
free for all, 2.19 trotting class,
and 2.35 class. There will be
probably a running race between
two horses from Lumber ton. but
this is not certain yet, and E

This will doubtless be one Of
the best races ever held at Fair
mont. An effort will be made t.
break the trackrecord with Sand,

holds the record at ZIG.

FOR FIGHTING FIRE.

FOR FIGHTING FIRE. /
The Volunteer Fire Company
Proposes Up To = Date Fire
Alarm System and Other I'm
provements-Could be Install
ed at Small Cost-Horse and
Hose Wagon and Fire House
Among improvements Contem-
plated.
At a meeting of the volunteer
fire company Friday evening
plans were set in motion which,
when perfected, will revolution
ize the method of fighting fire in
Lumberton and will give the
town an effective system for this
aIl-important work.
At a recent meeting, as report
ed in The Robson an, Mr.. Q. T.
Williams was elected chief of the
volunteer fire company and fore
men were appointed for the diff
ferent wards. At the meeting
Friday evening bylaws were
adopted which look to radical
change in the system of fighting
fire. Chief Williams, A. w. Peace
andR. Ell. Correll were appointed
a committee to make a list of the
equipment necessary for the sys-
tenn contemplated and to go be-
fore the town commissioners and
ascertain what assistance can be
gotten from the town in Install
ing this up-to-date system. The
plan proposed calls for the in
stallation of fire alarm boxes
which will transmit the alarm
automatically when the glass in
the box is broken with a ham,
mer that will hang suspended by
the box, to ward central sta
tion and thence automatically to
the fire house, indicating the
ward, so that the alarm given at
the fire house may indicate just
where the fire is located. This
committee will investigate the
cost of purchasing a horse and
wagon to take the place of the
various hand-reel wagons now
in use, and the cost of erecting a
fire house, to be located near the
power house.
Mr.. E. J. Britt was appointed
a committee to investigate the
State law governing fire COM
panies, also town ordinances
governing the fire department,
and to report at a meeting to be
called by Chief Williams.
A committee appointed at the
former meeting to examine al
the hose reels, wrenches, etc.
in town reported that thorough
examination had been made anc
that the present equipment hac
been put in good condition ano
was in shape for use.
When the company is we'll or
ganized and the up-to-date sys'
tenn is installed the company viii
join the State Firemen's Associa
ton. When that is done thu
town will receive from the fir
companies a certain per cent. O.
the amount paid out in insurance
That per cent. will amount t
about 500 per year, which will
be a great aid in supporting th'
fire company. 1t is estimate,
that installing the new system
will not cost the town more tha
$3.50, which is an exceeding sma'
outlay for the benefit that will d
derived.
The members of the voluntee
company are willing to give c
their time and labor to protec
the town from fire, but the
should not be expected to figt
fire under such disadvantages q
the present poor equipmer
makes necessary. They shoul
not be expected to haul hos
wagons from one end of tn
town to another. If they al
willing to give their time and a
tention to this all-important ma
ter the town should see to it tn;
the proper equipments is furnisl
ed.

NEAR RACE RIOT
IN ARKANSAS TOWN
NEGRO RUNS AMUCK-POSSE Or
GANlZED-MILITIA TAKES
HAND.

Eldorado, Ark, Feb. 2-Follow1ng
the wounding of three white men, the
formation of mob and an attack on
the negro section, Eldorado last night
was under control of the military, and
what threatened to develop into SER
ious racial clash has been suppressed
for the time being at least.
Yesterday afternoon, when a man
was crowded from sidewalk by a
negro. bystanders interfered and the
negro, drawing knife, lunged at one
adversary. Nobody was injured and
the negro escaped.
Last night posse started to search
for the negro. When they entered a
resort the invaders were greeted
with fusillade of revolver shots.
Oscar Reynolds, Edward Reynold-
and Roscoe Montgomery were wound
ed, the latter probably fatally.
A mob quickly formed and began
the destruction of the negro cabins
and other property, when Governor
Donaghey was appealed to and the
local militia company was ordered out.
The crowds dispersed at the approach
of the soldiers.
