WHITE OAK YOUNG NAN
MURDERED IN DANNlI III

James Alfred Below, sayohng
white man % years old ipa !.
rents reside at White Oak, was
shot and killed Saturday afternoon
in Dsnville, Va, by man named
Mccall. From what has been
learned here of the tragedy, the
shooting seems to have been almost
or wholly without provoeation. 1t
is said that the men met in font of
a cafe and Mccall asked the deceas-
ed if he believed he would shoot
him. BELOW is said to have replied
in the negative, whereupon Mccall
drew his revolver and shot the de-
ceased three times. The two men
are said to have engaged in quar-
rel previous to the shooting.
Mccall fled after the shooting,
but was arrested later in one of the
suburbs of Danvlle and is being
held in Jail there under a charge of
first degree murder.
The body of the dead man was
brought to Greensboro Sunday even
ing and carried to the home. of his
parents at White Oak, from which
place the funeral was held that alter
noon at 2 O'Clock.

B, Fl. BRADNER & COMPANY

The editor of the Review made a
pleasant visit Monday to the store
of B H. Bradner and Co on West
Green street and found the genial
proprietor feeling good over the fine
business he is enjoying. due to ex-
cellent service. low prices and quail
ity of goods. The mammoth store
building is packed from top to bot
tom with a general line of merchan-
disc, dry goods, clothing, groceries,
hardware, etc. Mr.. Bradner is ably
assisted by his younger brother, Mr..
D. D. Bradner, in the conduct of the
large establishment, and compe-
tent set of clerks. Fresh butter at
Zoe pound" said Mr. Bradner, and
the editor looked astonished but
sure enough it was so, and equally
low prices prevail all over the house.
The building of the Carolina & Yad-
kin River railroad tracks close to
the store, the opening up of new
property, the various factories close
by and the large number of good
livers adjacent 60 to boost trade with
the excellent firm, composed of ex.
cellent gentlemen, the B. H. Bradner
& Co. Success gentlemen you de-
serve it.

gin than formerly to the candidates
who had received a majority. i'll
It was contended, also that the
three men who received the highest
votes last Saturday, regardless of
majority, were the ones whom TIE
people desired for the places on the
board. However, on system of
majority rule, this was considered
as undemocratic and as unfair to
the man receiving the lowest vote
who, although he was lowest, yet
had been voiced for Office by ma
jority of the people.
Facing these questions the execu-
tive committee deemed it Wisest to
give the voters and. the candidates
the benefit of second primary that
there might be no element of doubt
as to who all the people really wished
after three of their candidates,
Hughes. Kirkpatrick and Moore had
been eliminated by falling below the
majority figure.
Suggestions were forthcoming for
eliminating the possibility of such a
situation in the future. That the
commissioners be designated by
numbers and that candidates an
nOunce themselves for the place of
a certain number was one of the
plans brought out. To adopt this,
it was thought, would require that
the county be districted. A similar
plan was suggested for the selection
Of representatives in the legislature.
Another plan suggested for elimi-
mating future difficulty of like nature
was that the policy be adopted of
selecting the three high men.

Reporters In the Commons.

: Shorthand writer's first gained accecs
to the house Of commons with some
sort Of official acquiescence about 1856.
In the year 1903 they are to be found
occupying the back bench in the stran-
gers gallery without interference from
the house officials, although the latter
affected to be ignorant of their pres
ence. In 1896 the house commenced to
publish the daily division lists itself
and from that time onward the old
idea that there was something sacred
about the doings Of the house which
required the prohibition of publicity
was exploded. After the great fire or
1884 the reporters were admitted as a
matter of course to the temporary
building used by the commons and
when, on Feb. 3, 1852, the represent
atives of the people took possession OF
their new chamber in the palace OF
Westminster the press was at last ofd-
cially recognized and the reporters
gallery as 1t at present exists was an
acknowledged fact.

Praet;eina Eorethounht..

Forethought looks beyond the obsta-
Gle to ultimate results. 1t reaches out
constructively for way to get over,
through or around that which hinders
the realization of its object.
Forethought when exercised develops
The Imagination. The mind accustomed
to thinking ahead soon acquires vision.
This leads to freedom in higher de-
gree. The one who takes no fore
thought is surprised cast down, dis
rouraged, when anything goes wrong.
Such a one is enslaveds imprisoned, as
1t were. by wall of circumstances.
The one accustomed to use forethought
Is far less the slave Of circumstance.
Such one learns to look 14or d way by
which to turn the UNPLEASANT expert
ence into profitable results. He uses
his Imagination to find away ont. He
thinks constructively instead of just
blindly giving in to-. fate. He has
learned that by forethonght and imag-
lnation, by creative. constructive think
Ing, he can find new ways to stccess
| when one way is blocked.

the chief fireman, a negro. had come to

we do he will discharge MS. Now, if the

GOING. THE LIMIT

ID
Greensboro is certainly going the
limit in trying to enforce the speed
law. Officers are sent out on Men
denhall street and proceed to lay
off a certain space which includes
a steep hill in order to calch the
automobilists. They watch you
from the time you pass them just
above the crest of the hill and until
you turn into West Market and if
you make it very few seconds fast
you have broken the Is mile gait
and are cited to trial The ca!cula
ton is so fine that two seconds too
fast on this specified space will be
sufficient for indictment. Why
didn't the officers do the fair thing
and take time on level ground and
not take advantage of the men who
know and respect the law and at all
times try to keep within the. limit I?
Chief Iseley told them to 90 on
Spring Garden street so he says.
Even the editor was pulled two Sun
days ago, charged with going Is
miles an hour on this particular spot
when the editor knows full we'll that
at no time did the speedometer on,
his machine register over IL miles
along this street and so stated but
to no avail. And the speedometer
on the editors machine was correct
because it was tested. The pres
ence of the policemen was noticed
so yards in advance and the remark
was made "Yonder are officers
watching but they won't get me be-
cause am running under IL miles"
yet Notwithstanding this and the
fact that attention was called to the
speedometer registering less than IL
miles and two people saw it besides
the driver, we had to pay a fine.
Isn't it reasonable that the officer
could have commenced to count too
soon and stopped two seconds too
late or incorrectly read his stop
watch aud a dozen other ways been
wrong. Yet their statements are
absolutely correct every time and
the automobolist wrong every time.
The character of any good citizen is
just as good to say the least as any
policeman, and many policemen are
not suited for the job at all. Speak
ing generally an officer should be a
man of the best character, a man
who will not let the robes of Office
make a fool out of him at any time.
Along with the editor two other
High Point citizens were "nabbed'
the same time and had to pay fines,
men who are known at all times to
be careful drivers and not speeders.
Just suppose High Point should
retaliate by watching at the top of
the hill on Centennial street and
catch the many autoists from Green's
boro? We can use Greensboro s
money just as well as Greensboro
can use our money.
Anyway the editor knows he is
not guilty and emphatically says so,
notwithstanding.

Four Candidates to the Second
Primary.
The Democratic voters of Guilford
county in the primary last Satur-
day put four men where only three
were to 90 by giving majorities to
four of the candidates who were
running for places on the board of
county commissioners. AS result
of this situation the voters have been
called upon to enter second pri-
mary today to select three from
these four, and the three who poll
the highest number of votes will be
the men nominated.
The decision Oh the second pri-
mary was made by the executive
committee as the best and surest
method OF sssttiag out of the Difficult
ty. The meeting was quiet and har-
monious, and scarcely more than an
hour long.
The four men who will be voted
on and the votes they received last
Saturday are as follows: T. A Viii
son, 1,O45; J. A. Rankin. 1881; W.
C Tucker, 1897; and G. A. Wharton,
.987 To receive a majority each
man had to. have as many as 979
votes. The other three candidates
in last Saturdays primary who were
eliminated were A. J.. Hughes, 617,
D. A. Kirkpatric, 534, and J. r.
Moore. $50. \
The majority was arrived at by
taking the total number of votes for
all the candidates for commissioner !,
dividing by three. each voter being
considered to have availed himself
of the opportunity of voting for only
three men, and dividing the result
by two.
On this basis it was discovered
that the voters had nominated four
instead of three commissioners,
which would appear at first glance
to be an impossibility. Yet as many
as five could have received ma
jority. If 100 voters each voted for
three men the total number of votes
would be- 80. A Majority of the
voters would be ST. Five would di-
vide 400 60 times. which would be
