ENTRANCE THROUGH WINDOW
Residence Of 7. D. Jameson,
Pembroke, Burglarized
Saturday Night.

Saturday night, at IL o'clock. at
Pembroke, would-be burglar was
foiled in his purpose of burglarizing
the home Of Mr.. Thos. d. Jameson,
by the pluck of Miss Elizabeth Rad
ford, who was passing the night
with Mrs. Jameson.
Mr.. Jameson had occasion to leave
home Saturday, not expecting to re-
turn until Sunday. His daughter
was also from home on visit. which
left Mrs. Jameson alone. Mrs
jameson at first decided to remain
at home during the night alone, but.
on second thought. called Miss Rad
ford to be with her.
At II o'clock Miss Radford was
awakened from her slumbers by a
peculiar noise and looking around
the room, by the dim light of q, win
dow she saw man, barefooted, in
the room, getting about on his hands
and feet. She called to Mrs. Jane
son, who was in an adjoining room,
and told her that man was in the
room. Mrs. Jameson arose from
her bed and got loaded pistol and
gave it to Miss Radford. The plucky
young lady told the man to leave the
house at once or she would kill him
The intruder took her at her word
and ran into the dining room, tumb-
ling over the chairs and turning
them over as he made his way to the
outside door. In his exit he knocked
two large pitchers from the table,
breaking them to pieces. Miss Rad
ford, believing that the dining room
door was locked, went to the inner
dining room door with the pistol in
her hand. cooked and ready for &C.
ton, but saw the man open the door
and run out.
After the man escaped neighbors
were notified of the occurrence but
did not arrive in time to run him
down.
He made his entrance by raising
the screen of one of the parlor win
dows, and then made his way to the
room in which Miss Radford was
sleeping.
In the dim light of the window il
was impossible to tell whether the
burglar was white or black.

pounds and lived hours was born
at st. Joseph's Hospital to Callie
Still, a white girl. who was born in
this county January rs. 1903. The
mother is therefore only a few
months over 10 years old. The au-

Bennett. fifty years old, who has
skipped since he heard a warrant

books record births at an earlier age
than this, it IS quite an infrequent
occurrence. The mother is rather

MORE OF
BITULITHIC
The Council Awards Contract
For 5000 More
Yards.
IN THE BUSINESS DISTRICT
And About Three Blocks To
Extend Into Residence Sec
ton On South Main.

The Council met Friday night with
all present and devoted almost the
entire evening to street matters.
After a lengthy discussion of city
finances it was decided to order only
s. 900 yards of street paving at this
time, a little more than half of the
amount advertised. The Southern
Bitulithic Co.. of Nashville, submit
ted the following bids: Bitulithic
$3.50. Brick $3.50. Sheet Asphalt
$2.05 and Asphaltic Concrete $151,
35 cents of the latter bid being for
the guaranty. Two other companies
submitted single bids on Asphaltic
Concrete at $1.34 and SLAB. For
awhile it was by no means certain
that any of the work would be done,
but after much discussion Mr.. Dab
ney moved that 5000 yards be con-
structed. The motion received the
votes of Councilmen Harmed, Hay
don, Dabney and Draper. Council
men Metcalfe and Bradley voted no
and Leverett declined to vote.
A motion to adopt the bitulithic
street and award the contract to the
Southern Bitulithic Co. was then
passed all voting for it excepting DR..
Bradley. The territory selected was
Sixth street from Main to Virginia;
Seventh from Main to Virginia; Vir-
GINA from Sixth to Twelfth and the
rest on South Main from Twelfth to
about as far South as Fifteenth.
Two blocks on South Main, Two on
Water and four on Seventh street
were left in the advertised territory.
No contract was let for valleys,
the price Of II cents being considered
too high. The valleys and concrete
headers will be advertised again.
The contract will contain the same
conditions as the one with the same
company last year, including five
year guaranty.
An appropriation of $50 was made
tO grade tne avenues in Cave Spring
Cemetery for colored people.

No Funds Available.

The knotty problem of where to
gst the money to pay the pensions
claims under the Confederate PEN
sion Act, is before the State Officials
for consideration. The law provides
that the Treasury shall issue treas
ury checks to the pensioners and if
this mandatory warrants cannot be
used. So far 504 pension claims
have been allowed and there are
1900 on the waiting list. II the
$500 are allowed together with the
500 already allowed. it will mean an
expenditure of between $500. 900 and
1925, 900 and as the present admins
tration is already embarrassed with
an empty treasury and large out
standing indebtedness. the question
o. to how the claims are to be paid
