TriImphed Over Protests.
{


Compared to a small minority OF
assailants "The Clansman," Thorn
as DiXon's famous play, has found
millions of supporters and defend
erS.
1t has been warmly endorsed by
the Governors of States wherein
the Reconstruction scenes occurred
and approved by the municipal au-
thorities of New York, Chicago
Baltimore, Washington, st. Louis
Kansas City, Omaha and other
cities. The Police Commissioner OF
the District of Columbia refused to
suppress the play at the protest OF
the negroes in the Capital city
Judge Barnes of the Superior Court
of Chicago, set a precedent Tor
other jurists when, in denying an
injunction against THE Clansman,
he declared the negro had no spe-
cial or peculiar privileges as
race, claiming that neither white
yellow or black races could demand
immunity from criticism. The ne
groes have no more ground to stop
performances of THE Clansman
than the Jews have to suppress

berton.
Mr.. Tolar was 2S years old. He
Is survived by his wife and two lit
tie girls, Gretchen and Dorothy; fivt
brothers: Messrs. n. S., of Lumber
Bridge, S. F. and A F., of Rennert
Brunt, of Raeford, and T. R. OF
Lumberton; and three sisters, Mes
danes Maggie Bruce, of Marion, S.
T.; j. A. Campion, of McColl, S. c..
and w. c. Watson of Rennert.
Mr.. Tolar's death was the result
suit Of one of the worst crimes
ever committed in this county.
Readers of the Robesonian will re-
call that on the night of Septem-
Der End, last an unknown negro en-
tered through window the resi-
dence of the deceased near McDon-
aid and struck Mr.. Tolar while he
lay asleep in his bed a murderous
blow on the left side of the head
with a plow-bar and attempted to
assault his wife, who was on anoth-
er bed in the same room. Mrs. Toll
ar's screams frightened the intruder
away and after doing what she
could for her unconscious husband
she went with her two children to
the home of neighbor half a mile
away to summon assistance. Mr.
Iolar was brought to the Thomp-
son Hospital here the following day
by DR.. j. p. Brown, of Fairmont,
who reached the Tolar residence two
or three hours after the assault, and
am operation was performed by DR..
Brown and DR.. n. A. Thompson,
proprietor of the hospital. The op-
Grafton consisted in removing a
piece of bone from the region of
the skull just over the left ear, one
inch by one and a half inches in
size, and there were other extern
sive fractures on the side and at
the base of the skull. At this OPP
GRAFTON MIR. Tolar lost two or three
table spoons full of brain, the COW
ering of the brain having been
broken by the blow. From this op-
ening the brain tissue continued to
ooZe for several days. A consider
able amount of brain tissue and
fluid was lost from first to last and
this towards the last involved the
motor centers on the left side of
the brain, causing paralysis on the
right side. The fight for life was
hard from the first moment until
the end came on the 25th day. Mr..
Tolar regained partial conscious
ness several times during his ill
ness but at no time could he en-
ter into conversation. 1t could be
seen by the attendants, however,
that he knew with whom he was
trying to talk and would at times
lar, were to have been given a
show signs of impatience because
those about him could not under
stand him. His death was quiet and
easy without struggle.

committing the assault on Mr.. To-

J. A. Rowland yesterday but the
trial has been continued until We'd

interesting story is told of how
they came to meet and dates back
to the Civil War. Report says
that Mr.. Edwards was captured and
put in prison. A good lady resid-
ing near the prison sent her little
girl daily to carry something to eat
to the poor half-starved prisoners.
Mr.. Edwards in time was released
and at the colse of the war re-
turned home. He is said to have
raised a family of ten children and
sometime ago lost his wife after
many years happily spent together.
Now 1t is said that he has taken
unto himself another helpmeet in
the person of the little girl who
carried him lunches when in prison
nearly a half century ago, the bride
now being SIS or sc years of age.
IT is said that when they reached
Bladenboro on the night train the
whole country turned out to meet
them, each person, or nearly all OF
them carrying a big hand torch. A
gentleman who was on the train
that night said that he had never

HOW OIL KING BEGAN FORTUNE
Porter in st. Louis Store Inspired
RnckefelIer to 90 after Wealth

fOrter in ST. Louis Store Inspired
RNckefeller to go after Wealth.
Cleveland, Sept. % - Following
the thankful celebration of John d.
Rockefeller on the fifty-sixth ami
yersary OF getting his first and only
JOB, comes the story Of how Rookie
teller was inspired to his financial
career by a porter in a st. Louis
store. 1t was at the urging of
Samuel Andrews, the porter, that
Rockefeller engaged in the oil refin-
ing business, investing $1,000, the
whole of his fortune.
Mr.. Rockefeller, having received
an increase of pay to $25 a month
at the end of the first year as
bookkeeper for Hewitt & Tuttle, in
Cleveland. decided that he could not
make or save much money working
for others. In order to get a
chance he went to st. Louis. There
in 1858 with $500 he had saved,
he engaged in the commission bu-
siness with Mr.. Clark, an English
man, forming the firm of Clark &
Rockefeller. At the age of thirty he
had accumulated $1,000.
1t was then he met Andrews, the
porter, became interested in his
stories and eventually in the oil
refining business on the Mississip-
pi river above st. Louis, under the
firm name of Andrews, Clark & Co.
1t was not long before Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter began to broaden the business
personally, one of the first moves
being to gain an investment of $60,-
600 from Henry NJ. FNagler.

A Horrible Crime Near Charlotte.

Charlotte, N. c., Sept 25.-Adam
Sigmon, colored, cut off both hands
Of Win Link and his wife, Eldora,
and butchered them fearfully during
the midnight hours Sunday.
Link and his wife are at the
Good Samaritan Hospital to-day,
where everything is being done in
hopes that they may live.
The crime is one of the most
atrocious and unwarranted that
has been recorded in Mecklenburg
county for years. 1t is believed
Sigmon was full of cocaine.
Sunday afternoon Sigmon, who
is a cousin of Eldora Link, went
to her home, which is on Henry
Sloan's place, four miles from
Charlotte, on the Beattie Ford
road.
Eldora and Will asked Adam to
spend the night. He accepted the
early. About / o'clock this morn
ing, Eldora and Will were awaken
ed by Adam, who stood over them
with a heavy and sharp axe.
He proceeded to strike the wo-
man, cutting an almost deadly
wound across her head. Then he
knocked Will into insensibility
When the man and woman came
TO, the hands Of both had been
.cl .oRped off above the wrists.
They were also cut down theil
backs. There were deadly gashes
above the head and the negro
had fled. At this hour he had not
been captured.
1t is believed that he is crazy
as no motive for the crime is known
and it must have been prompted
by a diseased brain.

1t Is desirous to have all business
and professional men who are inter-
ested in the betterment of the trade

ton. 1t is of great benefit to all to

ing of credit to be able to get what
he needs without question and those
who are unworthy of credit refused
it. If all business men will do their
part to make this work what it
ought to be there is no estimating
the value Of it. 1t is expected that

state will be covered by this system.
The system has been In operation
over a great portion of the United
States for the past twenty-five years
and the system and promoters of it
have been Investigated and found
worthy of confidence.

To PAY FARES
Trouble on Car Last Night
To Fight Case.

A clash resulted last night be-
tween Public Service Railway Com
pany conductor and a number of

to pay fares while returning from a
fire In the western part of the city.

partment appealed to City Attorney

ment with the trolley company lived

trolley car No. 961, refused to let
James H. McCabe, Joseph Hornsby,
Frank Comings, B. Haffner, A. Mil
ler and A. Buchanan ride without
paying their fares. The men were
returning from a fire and exhibited
their fire badges. The conductor
told them that would not go and
they would have to pay. Acting
Chief William P. OHara invited the
conductor to put the men off, but he
did not. While the car with the
firemen aboard was on the State
street switch near Fayette street,
the conductor went off to telephone
to headquarters. He returned smil-
ing and thereafter did not bother the
firemen.
At the time the men were riding
north on State street. Haffner
Miller and Buchanan, members OF
Liberty Hook & Ladder Company
were returning home. They were
having trouble with the conductor
when the other firemen appeared
To make the test a better one Nc
