COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Well Attended Meeting Held With
Lively Discussion
MUCH lNItRfST SHOWN
Committees on Constitution and
Location Given Farther Tine
to Submit Reports

1t was a lively meeting that was
held in the A. O. e. w. hall Monday
lesening to consider the reports of the
committees on constitution and Local
ton for the proposed new Comment
al Club for Sank Centre. Warm dis
cussions characterized the gathering
and at times it looked as though the
heat furnished by the talk might be
sufficient to materially raise the tenn
perature in the rooms. But the full
airing of views evidently did good.
This process was, in fact, necessary to
clear the atmosphere and enable the
business men interested in forming a
Commercial Club to arrive at an un-
Outstanding. When the meeting adj
journed the clouds caused by the ex-
plosion had cleared away and the sun.
was shining brightly, metaphorically
speaking.
The bone of contention was the
question of combining social features
with the business interests of the
proposed clubs. The more conserya-
tive business men feared that social
features would result in the club
losing sight of the main object for
which it was to be organized, namely,
the furthering of the business inter-
ests of the town. Others believed
the club could not be carried on With
out social features. And the aisci.s
sion was On this matter.
The meeting opened with considz
Grafton of the report Of the committees
on constitution. The first few sec
lions had been read and adopted and
then the fireworks began. C. B.
Bently, who had come in late, wanted
4 I
to know what kind of a club was go
ing to be organized and thought that
question should be settled before go
ing farther. This started things and
for the next hour or more the discus
sion ragged.
During the progress of the discus
sion there was some parliamentary
sparring that afforded considerable
amusement and kept the business men
in good humor. Finally, the meet
Ing decided to have the committees
report read in full, to give those pres
ent. an idea of the nature of the pro-
posed constitution. C. B. Bentley
moved the appointment of commit
tee to bring in new report. This
motion carried and the chair appoint
ed the old committee.
The committee on location and
rooms submitted a report through
their chairman, w. S. Dean, and was
continued with instructions to make
further Investigations.
Finally, about eleven O'Clock, an adj
|journment was taken, the next meet
ing to be held on the call of the chair
man.

MEETS A TRAGIC DEATH.
Paul 4. High Murdered and Burned
in a Negro Joint in Raleigh.

Paul A. High, a native OF Wilson
County, but recently employed by a
lumber company in Raleigh, died at
Rex Hospital Sunday afternoon from
a murderOus assault made on him
early Sunday morning in a place
maintained on Lenoir Street by Lo-
gan Greene, colored, who is seventy
seven years old. The negro claims he
was awakened in the night by High,
who was breaking into his trunk.
Highs head was terribly beaten
with an iron rod and after clubbing
aim into unconsciousness, his assail-
ants evidently poured kerosene oil
over his clothing and set fire to him.
His flesh was badly burned in several
places when the police found him I'M
conscious in the negro tenement.
Blood on a table in the room indicdt-
ed that High had been struck first
while leaning over it. He was not
identified for several hours after he
was found and never regained con-
seriousness.
The police are of the opinion that
he was assaulted for robbery and his
assailants thinking they had killed
him, poured kerosene oil on his body
and set fire to it. A quantity of
whiskey was found in the place.
Logan Greene was arrested for the
crime. He admits hitting High, but
claims the man was trying to rob
him. The coroner's jury Monday af-
ternoon failed to place the entire
blame for the murder on Greene, and
the police are looking for other &C
completes. 1t is presumed High went
to Greene's place to buy whiskey and
was murdered and robbed

at Oak Grove Township, in Durham
County (but formerly in Wake) went
to Durham Saturday for warrant
for the arrest of John Henry Philpot,
a negro charging him with attempt
ing to kill Doc Waller, his SON. 1t

some ways from the bank to shoot
some game. While he was standing
in the underbush a dog came running
toward him and the boy thought it
mad dog. He fired at the animal,
and a few of the shots peppered the
dogs head, but otherwise did not in

AS soon as the dog was fred on
Philpot and three other negroes came
running up and Philpot shot at the
boy, but did not hit him. The other
negroes shouted to Philpot, telling
him to shoot the boy because he had
shot the dog, but Just at this time the
father, hearing the commotion, came
TO the assistance of his son and warn
ed the negroes that IL they shot again
