START TO WORK
FOR A WHITE WAY
NUMBER OF MERCHANTS HAVE
ALREADY AGREED TO IN
STALL THE LIGHTS.

Brunswick is going to have her
white way after all, and while it may
not extend over the entire district
which was first proposed, it will cover
two or three of the most important
business blocks in the city
So pleased have many of the mer-
chants been with the light installed
by DR.. Bruce, merely as sample of
what the white way would mean, that
many of them have already agreed
to install the lights, provided they
can get the same prices as were Of
fered by the manufacturers few
months ago when the matter was un-
der consideration by the Retail Mer-
chants and Business Mems Associa-
ton.
1t has been practically decided al
ready to install the light from Bruce's
corner to the National Bank and also
from Kaiser's to the vacant square
next to H. M. Millers store, thus
giving the city one block of the white
way.
Merchants in the block on either
side of Newcastle between Gloucester
and Monk streets, have also taken
the matter up and may decide to
in the lights.
1t is probable that a meeting will
be held in the near future at which
the matter will be taken up and some
definite decision will be arrived at.
In the meantime it is understood a
number of merchants propose to go
ahead and order the lights.

Virginia Report Denied.

Charlotte, N. c., March ia staff
representative of the Evening Chron-
icle at Mount Airy this morning states
that officers in the search of the Al
len outlaws positively deny that the
hunted men are surrounded in Squirrel
Gap section, and they say that if the
Aliens are located up to this lime the
officers on the Mount Airy side know
nothing of iG.
The mountain passes are guarded
for a distance Of seventy five miles,
but this only gives the outlaws more
roaming room in the thick shrubbery
Of the mountain coves.

day, stationing guards on the princi-
pal highways to cut off food supply,
At the same time every effort is being
made to circulate good descriptions
of he Aliens among the county au-
thorities of all neighboring states.
Faith of many people here, however,
still is placed in the ability of the
mountaineer detectives to locate the
Aliens. 1t is believed that by watch
ing the activities of women members
of The Allen clan they may intercept
some communication.
Mrs. Sidna Allen Talks.
Mrs. Sidna Allen, when seen today
a mile from her residence, which has
been closed since Thursday, said she
had 70 idea where her husband was.
When told that Floyd Allen was still
alive, she expressed regret

children, and to be kind to his dog
and cat.

Has Faith in Husband.
Sidna Allen has two pretty children,
both girls, Marguerite, aged 10, and
Pauline, aged 5.
''I don't believe Sid plotted to shoot
the court officers" continued Mrs.
Allen. IF | knew where he was I
would go to him and nurse him. He
is a good man, with many virtues and
one fault-his ungovernable temper,
which makes him wild man when
he is aroused"
Mrs. Allen inquired about the con-
dition of Floyd Allen, now in jail at
Roanoke. When told he was improv-
ing, she remarked;
''Too bad he did not die-don't you
think so?"
The opinion was expressed here to-
day that the members of the detec-
tive posse who are going in and out
of Hillsyille daily, are being used as
blind to throw the Aliens and their
friends off their guard. 1t is known
that Chief Tom Felts and at least a
dozen of his men, all of whom are
familiar with the mountain section
here, have secreted themselves on
hills and among the roadways over
which they believe the outlaws are
travelling on foot
The detectives say that none of the
hunted men had horses when they
left Eome.

Blackboard, Pirate 'for Revenue Only"

1ghting on land or waiting to be cap
tured, surrendered himself and 30 of
his best men to Gov. Charles Eden of
North Carolina. The pirate, in spite
Of his eccentricities, was a shrewd
Judge of human nature. He had good
reason to know what manner of man
Eden was. He went to the governor,
secured from him a royal pardon and
calmly proposed a business partner
ship. 1t was arranged between them
that Blackboard was to go back to his
pleasant piratical labors and that Eden

plunder) should protect him from legal
interference.
This was safe and profitable ar
rangement for both. For few months
it prospered finely. But such state
of affairs aroused sharp comment from
the planters on whose rich estates
Blackboard was now levying a heavy
toll One local legislator. Edward Mos
ley, complained publicly that while
Eden could easily raise an armed force
to arrest honest men, he did not seem
able to do anything toward capturing
Blackboard. Eden punished this plain
specs by fining Mosley $500 and by
prohibiting him from holding Office for
three years.
But the peoples discomfort could not
be so easily silenced. The colonists,
unable to stir their own governor into
action, appealed to Gov. Spotswood of
Virginia. Spotswood was a very diff
ferent sort from the profit-loving Eden.
He promptly fitted up two ships and,
with Lieut. Robert Maynard in com
Iland, send them against the pirates.
The Virginian force found Blackboard
in Pamlico bay on November IS, IT'S.
A fierce battle ensued. Blackboard
knew what defeat would mean to him,
so he ordered one of his men to stand
by the powder magazine with a light
ed match and to blow up friends and
enemies alike at a signal from him.
But the signal was not given For in
the thick of the turmoil Blackboard
and Maynard met CD deck in hand-to-
hand fight. 1t was a duel whose lame
lived long in Virginia-this deadly
sword clash between a dapper young
officer and a giant pirate. At length
skill in workmanship prevailed
against mere savage strength, and a
blow of Maynard's cutlass stretched
blackboard dead on his own deck. The
career of Americas most picturesque
sea rover was at an end. The surviv-
ors of the crew surrendered. Thirteen
OF them were hanged. And coast dwell

Titus Oates, Conspiracy Inventor

and unjustly put to death on the same
ridiculous charge. A reign OF terror
set in. No ones life seemed safe
when convicted perjurer could swear
It away. Plain citizens and high no
bles alike swelled the ranks OF VIC
tins. Oates received large income
from the government and had sui-e
OF rooms in the palace.
Then, as the turmoil began to die
down, Oates tried to revive it, by the
most atrocious charge of all. He &C
cused the queen-a meek, pious, gen.
tie little woman whom her husband
had neglected and ill-treated- of con-
spring TO poison King Charles. The
public once more howled with fury.
Parliament tried to force the queen
to leave court Charles had the de-
cency to put stop TO this tale by de-
ciaring his wife innocent
Later, when Charles IL. died and his
brother, James H.. came to the throne,
Oates was convicted of perjury. A
strange sentence was passed upon
him. For state reasons it was deem
ed best not to execute this 'conspir-
acy inventor" who had caused SO many
better men to die. Instead, it was
decided to put him to death in anoth-
er fashion. He was sentenced to pay
heavy fine, then to be clapped into

hands were fastened, while he was
kept standing for hours exposed to

and then to be imprisoned for life, be-
ing taken from his cell five times a
year to be pilloried again. AS Oates
was sixty-five years old, it was thought
the terrific beating would kill him.
But he was tough. He received LOO
lashes of the whip and was so mangled
that he had to be dragged back TO pris-
on on a sledge. In spite of this treat
ment he recovered
Three years later, in 1888, when
James H. was deposed and William of
Orange became king of England, one
of Williams earliest acts was to par
don Oates and to give him royal pen
sion of $1,000 year.
1t is hard to understand how any
monarch, in the light of Oates crimes.

his eyes.

postal card followed him from her
perch against his letter ale
