Notes From Oak Ridge.

Prof. J. Allen Holt is spending a
few days at Atlantic City recuperat-
ing. He is expected home in week
or ten days.
Prof. E. P. Holt is engaged in farm
ing during this summer. He has per-
sistently refused to manage any base
ball team this season.
J. Harvey Holt is making a very
fine record as a baseball player in
the Southeastern League, at Rome,
Ga. He is hitting around three hun
dred, and his fielding is fine.
Preparations are on foot for the
overhauIing and repainting OF the IN
stitute buildings during the summer
vacations. Tt is the intention OF the
principals to have the school build
| ings brand new at the opening Sep
! tember.
| The new catalogue is expected this
week 1t comes from the BoatWrlght
Brothers, Danville, Va. It promises
| to be a thing Of beauty. II wilt
show an increase in number of about
| fifteen per cent over last year!
Large numbers are here availing
themselves of the special June offer
| in the Southern Automobile College.
Among them we notice here students
from Trinity College and Guilford Col
llege, and other we'll known schools.
! There is also a State high school
principal here fitting himself for the
automobile business.
Students from the schools and col
lleges are home spending the summer
vacation, and this fact added to the
local ball games. Fishing parties and
4 picnics makes life worth living in this
neck of the woods for the entire sum
mer.
We are glad to know that an or
ganization is being formed through
Tout the entire State to prevent auto
mobile owners from hiring the negro
as a driver of automobiles. A large
local club in this organization will be
formed here. The position of the
chauffeur should not only mean to be
) able to drive an automobile, but also
a training that will enable man te
take care of a car in emergencies
and to make all additional repairs
Human lives depend upon the chauf
lfeur. Men should not hire negroe:
for this position, when there are 81
many deserving white men ready t.
take it.

SEVERE STORM
LAST night

Although last nights storm was
only moderate in Wilson, it was quite
severe about three miles East = of
town, and much damage resulted. The
storm centered from the AmersOn
farm to the Simms Mill trestle and
all crops in that vicinity we're dam
aged by the heavy rain, hail and wind,
the latter being of cyclonic fury.
The greatest sufferers are Capt. j.
G. Roney, Mr.. A. P. Moore and at the
F. w. Barnes Amerson place. Capt.
morning and stated that his tenants
estimate his damage at $1,000. He
had eight or ten acres of tobacco
badly damaged by hail and wind and
one tobacco shed was blown down,
two tobacco barns unroofed and a
front pcrtch torn from dwelling.
Capt. Roney's other crops beside to-
bacco also suffered to some extent.
Mr. Paul Moore was perhaps the
greatest loser from the effects of the
storm He had thirty acres of cotton
and corn fearfully damaged by hail
and wind, one tenant house, one pack
house, enc tobacco barn, one of his
tenants stables and one of their
barns were blown down. The front
door of his home was blown in and
one of the trees blown down f.
across a corner of the house knock
ing a hole in the roof. Mr.. Moor'es
damage is estimated at between ST.
900 and $4,000. All of Mr.. Moore's
tenant houses were more or less dam
aged.
At the Amerson place, in addition
| to the great damage to crops three
| tenant houses and one barn were
blown down. Other farmers in the
neighborhood suffered some damage
also. Altogether probably the total
| loss will be $4,000.
Fortunately, the storm was con
fined to a comparatively small sec
ton, and the greatly needed rain was
highly beneficial to crops generally.

BANK WAS
SUCKED DRY
s6O,OOO BORROWED FROM NOR.
FOLK and RICHMOND WITH.
OUT knowledge OF PRES.

(Tarboro Southerner.)


How long the robbery of the Bank
Of Tarboro has been going on the
books of that bank so far as Exam
iner Doughton can tell are inconclu-
sive, but with a shortage already
found of $131, 1000 it must have been
the time, six or seven years, named
bv Assistant Cashier Hussey.
According to the regular books the
deposits amounted to $1O4,0 and the
loans S145,O not including $4,000
in overdrafts which are probably good
for rs cents in the dollar.
Pass books and accounts have both
been tampered with, and then there
was failure to enter deposit at ail.
Assuming that the shortage found
so far is correct, the hiatus be-
tween part and par for the depositors
will be more or less heightened by
the character of the securities for the
S145,O0O loans. The bank recently
borrowed $4,000 each from Norfolk
and Richmond banks and no doubt
the cream of the securities will be
found in these two cities. President
Shackleford says that both these
transactions were without his knoWl-
edge or consent.
The reporter is Informed that in
his report to the stockholders Mr..
Hart only had $4,000 as bills payable
in his statement Of the condition of
the bank.
Much Inconvenience Caused.
The bank had more individual de-
positors than any bank in town,
probably moro than any two. So with
their money laid up even. one not af-
fected can not imagine the incon-
venience caused. There has been
some lively hustling to get money to
meet weekend pay rolls.
President Holderness, Of the Farm
ers and Trust Company, has proffered
to help all. He has told them with
proper security he would tide them
over temporary difficulties, and at
the same time wanted it understood
this was not done to induce them to
become depositors.
Such offers means little more
than appears on the face. At this
time of the year farmers and mer
chants are drawing on the bank to be
reimbursed in the fall when the
crops come in. Regular customers
must be taken care of and now tC
undertake more is more thoughtful
and creditable to these making sucf
offers
Many caught snort.
In more than one instance it is
feared that building operations mus
be temporarily stopped.
Many merchants find themselves
in an embarrassing situation but they
have been more alert in turning thar
the farmers, who probably will no
thoroughly realize their situation unit
their first Saturday settlement witt
their hands to be made.
Leaves Good Estate.
R. G. Hart Friday administered OF
the estate of his brother and from
the schedules filed he left an unin
numbered estate of over $4,000. o
this is insurance S11, 900 for the bene
fit of his estate, notes and stock ar
proximating $1,000 were found in hi
safe and then he has a valuable farm
near Heartsease which is worth So
000
If his bond as cashier is good
$4,000, about $4,000 Of the shortag
will be made up from this source.

Mr.. Ralph Smith In Serious Condition
(Rocky Mount Record

tROcKy MOUNT RECORD.
Complications, the extent of which
are not known, have set in as the
result of the wound on the head,
received by Mr.. Smith ten days ago,
when he was assailed by Mr.. Fred
Neville and struck over the head with
piece of stantling. The condition
of Mr.. Smith has been extremely Sc
rious for the past few days and up
until the present, little Improvement
has been noted. Mr.. Smiths friends
will learn with regret of his extreme
illness and his presence and genial
manner has been missed by many

To Tell Taft Race Wrongs.

Providence, r. l., June ia dele
cation of five thousand negroes to
visit Washington with a committee
of fifteen for spokesmen to tell Presi-
dent Taft of the alleged wrongs
which the race suffers in the South,
was decided upon at session of the
New England Baptist missionary con-
vention (colored.)
None of the details was fixed but
a member Of the executive committee
said that they would probably gather
in a Washington church and ask
President Taft to address them, and
send committee to the White House
later.
The plan was introduced by Rev.
