Taylor In
herits Fortune
Plans Establishment of Boys
School

Lew IaylOf, cOlOfeQ, Well-kIloWH
in this Community, is reported as
the happy victim of a windfall-an
estate at Atlantic City consisting Of
bank stock and blocks Of real es-
tate valued, as reported, to the
amount Of 100000. Inquiry was
made on Monday for Levi Taylor
and as usual when anything is do
ing Levi appeared on the scene.
At first it was thought that some
one else was the party sought for,
but Taylor will probably have no
trouble in proving his identity. He
is well-known all around this sec
ton and was known to have worked
as gardener for some years at At
lantic City.
The following is clipped from the
Evening Journal Of last evening:
Levi A. Taylor, colored, a farm
er and gardener on the road be-
between Newark and Glasgow, to-
day informed the Evening journal
that he is the man who has inherit
ed big estate in Atlantic City, for
whom inquiry was made through
the columns of this newspaper.
He did not know Of the bequest un-
til he read of it in this newspaper,
he said, and he added that he had
verified that he was to receive an
estate valued at more than 5000,
900, including siXty-one houses on
tract, bounded by Pennsylvania,
Mediterranean and Virginia aven-
ues, in Atlantic city.
Taylor says the estate was left to
him by Mrs. Susie B. RICHTER,
white woman, and widow, for whom
he was gardener for several years.
Taylor says he was born near
Cooches Bridge, and when a boy
was committed to the Ferris Indus
trial School, but was released in
two years because of obtaining
enough merit marks. While at the
school he learned gardening and
had many good principles instilled
in him, he says.
, After leaving the school he work
ed on the Delaware Clark farm, he
said, and in 1900 went to Atlantic
City. There he entered the en-
ploy Of Mrs. RICHTER and supervis-
ed the reclaiming of lowlands on
which sixty-one houses were built
after the land had been filled in.
He looked after her houses and also
was gardener at her home place
until about two years ago, he said,
when he bought two farms near
Newark. Mrs. RICHTER some time
ago paid off the mortgages on these
farms, in order to give him good
start.
Taylor, who is 35 years old, said
that if the property is transferred
to him he does not propose to sell it,
but will devote the proceeds to es-
tablishing a guardian home for col
ored boys near Wilmington, where
the boys can be taught useful trades
and be started out with some money
to start life. Taylor today consult
ed his counsel, Philip L. Garrett,
about the bequest of Mrs. RICHTER.

COUNCIL DISCUSSES
SABBATH VIOLATIONS
Details Of Sewer Work Dis
cussed

During the last month churches
of the town have been active in an
effort to close the stores Of the town
on Sunday, claiming number of
them are violating the law. Several
ministers have spoken upon the
subject from their pulpits and it is
understood criticised the town off,
cials for not having the stores
closed. AS far as can be learned
the stores referred to hold eating
house licenses and under a decision
Of the courts have a right to re.
main open ON Sunday.
At the meeting Of Town Coun-
Gil Monday night Mayor Joseph H.
Hossinger read the following let
ter from two church Christian En-
deavor societies:
Whereas, it is well-known
fact that certain stores in our town
are open either all day or a part of
the Lords Day, dispensing their
wares in violation Of the laws of
the commonwealth, we therefore
respectfully petition you, in the in
terest Of civic Righteousness, that
you compel them to keep closed on
the Lord s day" One Of these let
ters from the Christian Endeavor
Society Of the Presbyterian church
was signed by the pastor, Rev. VIM.
j. Rowan and the officers Of the
society as follows: Alfred P. Scott,
president; II. N. Reed, vice-presi-
dent, and Laura |. Fader, secre-
tary. The other letter was from
the Young Peoples Society Of
Christian Endeavor Of the M. E.
Church and was signed by Rev. L.
E. Poole, the pastor, and these Off
GERS: Howard Leak, president
Earl F. Dawson, vice-president ;
and Esther p. FERGUSON, secretary.
Mayor Hossinger stated that he
had replied to the letter and read
his reply which was as follows:
con account of previous COM
jplaint as to certain stores in the
Town Of Newark being open for
business during the Sabbath, the
matter was taken up with the
State s Attorney and the Office of
the Clerk Of the Peace through
whom they receive their license, and
we were informed that the Court
had ruled that any person, firm or
corporation who held an Eating
house license were entitled to keep
open on Sundays.
They also gave a very broad in
depreciation Of the word eatable,
including ice cream and soda water
so it would seem rather hard to
know just where to draw the line.
eve do not have any town ordi-
nances covering the ground, and |
presume we could not if it conflict
ed with the state laws.
81 would therefore advise that
the proper authority to take the
matter up would be the State s At
torney.

Grand Jury for the coming year,

Eer of commerce, spent today at Salu-

and other good roads enthusiasts rela-
tive to the probabilities of delivering

highway mas been under reconstruction
by the Southern Railway company,
and the greater part of the work has
been completed. Mr.. Moore and the

de. will visit the gap, and if they find
that the construction has been suffi-
emily completed to admit of travel
they will file request with the rail-
road that the gap be opened at once.
The opening of the gap will insure
d more direct route from Tryon r
