TARBOR0 COTTON MILL
IS SOLD AT AUCTION
Successful Bidder for the Old and
New Mills Was Robert New
Of New York

Tarboro, The receivers sale
of the Tarboro cotton factory,
which is the result of litigation
which has been pending some
time, took place at the mill
last week and the sue
cessful bidder for the old and
new mills and some 20 acres of
land was Robert New, of New
York, who secured the proper
ties for the aggregate sum of
$2l5. GOO the negotiations to be
finished by Friday of this week.
The sale was conducted by
Messrs. II. F. EoXhall and c. A.
johnson, receivers appointed by
the Superior court some time
ago and there was large num-
Der of interested men at the mill
when the sale took place.
The payment of this money
means that the stockholders will
get 50 or 35 per cent on their
stock. 1t is thought that the
mill will be placed in operation
Immediately and that every de-
partment will be started run
ning and kept going. For some
time past only part of the force
at the mill have been employed
and it will come as good
news to many people here to
know that a full force will soon
be put to work.

Hancock House Company Broken
into Last Wednesday Night

On opening the store last
Thursday morning, the Hancock
House Company found that
strangers had been in their midst
during the night. The door on
the Esecond floor leading into
their millinery department had
been forced and the cash drawer
in the office had been opened.
There was only a small amount
in change in the cash drawer
and strange to say that was not
touched. In their efforts to get
the cash drawer open, the visi-
tors, or visitor, must have
worked the money tray into the
back part of the drawer and did
not pull the drawer out far
enough to see it, and as there
was no currency in sight, must
have concluded the drawer was
for the purpose of keeping pa
pers. They did not attempt to
open the safe.
No stock was missed from the
store, although a small quantity
could have been taken without
being missed. Anyway, its strict
ly up to Chief Beard now to
catch this gang.

shared In the first happy flush Of their
youthful love and happiness. This, the
only place where she could find peace
In her loneliness, Dan was trying to
wrest from her. 1t was too near to
town, too near to the scene OF his
new activities, he had sent word to
her. She must vacate. She must go
80 far away that his charge of de
Sertion" would stand fire in a court
of law.
Face to face with the fact that Dan
was trying to drive her even from this
shelter, trying to drive her out into
strange and alien world, of which
she knew nothing and which knew
nothing of her, Mary could scarcely
believe that Dan was so changed
that even now he would be willing to
snatch away from her the place which
held the memory of happier days.
She had not seen her husband since
the night In Senator Strickland's
library. when the awful knowledge had
been forced home TO her that he not
only wanted permanent separation,
but insisted on having an absolute d.
vorce. Over and over again thought
came into the woman's mind. Il was
intuitive, instructive. Try aa she
might to silence 1t, she could not put
Il out of her thoughts. It was that
ever-recurrent feeling that another
woman had entered Dams mind and
heart. Again and again she pushed
II from her, but always and ever the
obsession chung to her like black
shadow that haunted her during the
day and persisted even In her dreams
at night.
From the kitchen came the voice of
her maid-of-all-work singing an old.
fashioned tune.
II was one that In her young days
Dan had loved to hear her sing-on
whose sweet melody and melancholy
sentiment he had loved In the days
before his heart had become hard and
his mind intense on the cold, hard
problems OF finances and political adj
vancement. 1t was the song In which
all lovers from the beginning to the
end OF time find a responsive note;
