TWO WILSON OFFICERS SHOT.

Deputy Sheriff Mumford and Chief
of Police Glover the Victims
Were Trying to Arrest Two Neg
roes Charged With Robbing Stores
at Dunn.
Wilson, n. c., Feb. 3.-This town
is laboring under the greatest excite
ment in its history, caused by the
cold-blooded murder of Deputy Sher-
if George Mumford and the probably
fatal shooting Of Chief-of-PoIice A.
0. Glover this afternoon by negro
desperaders, whom the officers were
trying to arrest.
This morning the authorities here
were notified to look out for negroes
who broke in store at Dunn last
night and stole several pistols and
other merchandise. This afternoon
one or more Of the negroes was To-
Gated in negro house near the Nor
folk Southern Railroad yards and the
officers went to the house to make
the arrest. Deputy Mumford and
Chief Glover went to the front door
and Policemen Warren and Wynne
stood guard at the rear. AS Num-
ford and Glover entered the front
door, the negroes opened fire. Num-
ford was shot through the head and
Glover through both lungs. The
former died in less than an hour and
the latter is expected to die at any
moment.
Make Good Their Escape.
Immediately upon seeing the of
ficers fall and before either of the
officers stationed at the rear could
run around to the front the criminals
darted out of the front door and es-
capped Bloodhounds were brought
here on a special train and are now
following the trail. Posses in auto
mobiles, III buggies and on foot are
securing the nearby country, and the
military company, reinforced by hun
dreds of citizens, is on duty picketing
the roads to prevent the negroes es-
cape from the territory in which they
are supposed to be hiding. Several
arrests were made, but parties who
witnessed the shooting exonerated
the prisoners.
Feeling Is running higk and the
excitement is most intense. Over a
thousand heavily armed men are
securing every inch of ground in this
section and, should the murderer or
murderers fall into their hands. a
lynching would cause little surprise.
Mumford leaves a widow and six
young children. Glover has wife
and one child. Both men were popu-
lar with all who knew them.

MEYER WARNS REPUBLICANS.
Tip Coming Direct From Taft Says That They Must Get Together
 to Win In 1912.

Secretary of the Navy George von l.. Meyer. representing President Taft at the Republican clubs Lincoln dinner in New York. warned Republicans of the country to sink differences and get together if they want to prevent a Democratic victory in 1912.
 To the right and left of the secre tary of the navy were Republicans who did not pull together in times past, and when Secretary Meyer got going in an exceedingly frank talk they pricked up their ears. Whether or not the assumption was warranted. the banqueters received Mir. Meyers nd vice as straight tip from the presi dent. In fact. the secretar! probably said he was speaking with Hrge Hu thority. Following that intimution, he told them that the party would have Ia have a platform on which everybody could stand and that the president Is trying his best 10 provide plank in reciprocity with Canada that would be of imInSnse value.
 Ex-President Roosevelt found an op portunity to speak out strongly for rec iprocity with Canada and to argue for the election of senators by popular vote.

ALARMED AT 4 PLOT
 TO DESTROY COTTON
Spectators Are Aroused Over
 Discovery by an Official.

What one man might do to a south ern cotton state with a pickle jar. full of boil weevils was the subject of spec ulative interest among several cotton operators in New York and produced marked divergence of opinion. The debate was aroused by the report printed in a dispatch from Atlanta, Ga, that Governor Elect Hoke Smith had received definite warning of a plot to scatter boil weevils all over the state of Georgia and into South Caro- lima to ruin the cotton crop.
 A group of cotton operators were found chatting togetber in the lobby of a hotel. All had read the dispatch from Atlanta about Governor Elect Smiths discovery of a plot.
 Now, have no opinion as to whether this story from Georgia Is true or not" one of them said. "I am not competent to pass upon that. am only able to say that 1 am surpris- ed that the trick has not been tried already. Why should a man do IL? Well, let me ask you why does a man commit murder-for revenge or for profit? There's your answer.
 "A man who would plant boil wee wills in territory free of them would murder his own mother"

FOR WORLDWIDE RECIPROCITY
Taft and Clark Both Favor 1t, and ln This Connection President Is Feel

President Taft and Representative Champ Clark of Missouri surprised the delegates to the pan-American com mercial conference at Washington by announcing that they favor reciprocity not only with Canada. but with South aud Central America and. in fact, the entire world. .H

Word from Sheriff About Taxes.

My term of Office expires Jan. l,
1912. The people of this county have
always assisted the retiring sheriff by
their early and prompt payment of
taxes. feel that they will not be less
kind to me. The law authorizes and
empowers the sheriff to collect dam
ages on all taxes not paid on or by
Dec. 10. l will not be in a position
this year to indulge anybody, and in or
der to assist the taxpayer in getting
his land numbers correct and expedit-
ing matters, l wish to make the fol-
lowing suggestions: The most accurate
business men make mistakes and often
list their lands wrong to the tax asses
sor; therefore, Iurge an early call at
my office with a correct list of your
land numbers. 80 that if they do not
agree with the assessors books. the
error may be corrected. This is more
to the interest of the land owner than
anybody else. 1t takes time to look
up and compare records; therefore, if
everybody wants to be last, we will
not have the opportunity to verify rec
ords. Bring your old tax receipt, or
a copy of your land numbers, with YOU.
The sheriff books are now open. The
tax year began Sept. /. If it is in
convenient for you to visit the sheriff's
office in person, write us and please al
ways enclose a stamp for a reply.

THE PROPOSED COUNTY ROADS

We are advised that there are several petitions to be considered
by the board OF supervisors of this county at their October session,
relative to the changing and the opening of new roads. Whenever
1t is possible, roads should be changed to avoid the hills. They
should be made to traverse the valleys. Our. roads in this county
follow the lines laid out seventy-fve and one hundred years ago. We
have certainly followed in beaten paths regarding the lines of most
of our public roads. They were laid out with the idea of traversine
as little tllable land as possible. The convenience of intercourse
and communication was given little consideration. Now one of the
most important elements to be considered is time. We must do the
greatest possible amount in the shortest time. The avenues and
means of transit are matters that the progress of The day force upon
our attention. Hence the necessity and the wisdom of changing
many of our public roads to avoid the hills and the manv tortuous
turns.
The petition to opena public road from here to Holcomb sta.
the affirmative consideration of the board. 1t would be worth much
to the county. Whatever the outlay to secure this road, we believe
would be more than returned to the county within less than FIVE
years in the increased value of property and in the saving of vehic-
les and teams. We can not understand why any property owner
through whose land the road would pass, should not be in favor OIL
the road. The history of such roads shows that all the property ad.
jacent is benefited and increased in value: Then besides this, none of
us can live to ourselves. We owe a duty to the community and the
county in which we live and every man should be willing to contrib
his part towards upbuilding the county and placing it in line with
the most progressive communities elsewhere. County and home
that when people from those states where public roads have been
$ cienti6cally worked, visit us. they marvel at the hills
our roads ascend and descend. The roads of the state have
been one of the greatest deterrents in getting substantial citizens
from the North and West to invest with US and become citizens
with US.
Let us have the straight valley road to Holcomb.
