the desperate type, and whose name has
now been spread broadcast from New

the State borders. The Court of Caroline
County Maryland, made a plea for the
use ofWright as witness in the case of
the State versus Fletcher Warner, one
of his old accOmplices. The Court here.
for the purpose of serving the ends of
justice, made the order and Wright was
taken to Denton. The case was one
where Charles Clark, a Greensboro mer-
chant, had been robbed of merchandise
and money to the amount of $3.50. and
Wright, who was ''on the ground. - was
the States star witness. Wright's pres
ence attracted the biggest crowd in

Asks To BE RETIRED

Lieutenant Foulk, who has been in

Governor Pennewill asking that he be
placed upon the retired list. Lieutenant
Foulk has been in the military service
OF the state for the past twenty wears.
during which time he has been
faithful in all branches of the work.
He was with the company during the
campaign of 1898 when the regiment
was encamped at Middletown, this state.

other business compells him to make
the request that he be retired If
his request is acted upon favorablv bv
the Governor, Second Lieutenant James
Cannon will be the only commissioned
officer in the company. 1t is likely
that he will be candidate for Captain
when the next election to fill that
vacancy is held. Lieutenant Foulk was
