FATAL ROW NEAR WHITEWATER
Virgil Owens Killed by John Reid I'm
Row ut Reid's House.

On Friday night, February 5th,
there was a fatal row near White
water, in Oconee county, just ove~
the line in Pennsylvania county,
North Carolina, as result Of which
Virgil Owens. a young man Of about
"a years of age, was killed by John
Reid, man Of between As and SO
years.
From our informant we learn that
Virgil Owens, accompanied by his
brother, Charlie Owens, both Of Lake
ToXaway, y. c., went to the home Of
Reid, about three miles from the old
Erwin hotel place at Whitewater, and
shortly after they arrived a row was
begun. The particulars are not very
full as to what took place, though it
is said that there had been bad feel
ing between the OwenseS and Reid
for some time. There were two
other parties present when the trag-
edy took place, these being Silas
Burrell and his son, James Burrell.
raj row is not known.
shortly after the OwenScS went to
Rcids home Virgil Owens, 1t Is said,
struck John Reid over the head with
a smoothing iron, innicting a severe
injury. Reid, however, managed to
get hold of his shotgun, which he
drew on Virgil Owens, firing "a buck
shot into his body, the load taking
effect in the side and shoulder.
Owens was not killed instantly, how
ever, and fingered long enough for
his parents to go down from Lake
ToXaway to the scene Of the trouble
and take him home, where he died
shortly after arrival. Charlie
Owens received some hurts in the
row, but his injuries are not Of a
serious nature.
The two OwenseS are sons Of Mr..
and Mrs. William Owens, of Lake
ToXaway, viii, Mr.. Reid was a resi-
dent and property-owner near the
Oconee line. Both families are said
to be prominent in that section of the
country. Virgil and Charlie Owens
are nephews OF the late w. B. +.
Corbin, their mother being sister
OF the latter.
James Burrell was arrested and
lodged in Jail at Brevard, N. c., but
his father made his escape and has
not been located. We were not in
formed as to whether John Reid had

CARDINAL MERGER HELD PRISONER BY
 GERMANS, REPORT
Belgian Primate Fails to Appear to Deliver Scheduled Sermon-Ru-
 nor Not Confirmed

Amsterdam, January 5,--(via London, S:45 p. m)-A Tljd dispatch from Rosendaal says that Cardinal Mercier, primate of Belgium and archbishop of Malines. has been arrested by German authorities and held prisoner in his own archepiscopal palace at Malines under military guard.
 The report, which has not been con- firmed, says the cardinal was arrested because he issued pastoral letter read Sunday in churches throughout Belgium, which referred to the occupation of Bell gium as follows:
 This power has no legal authority and consequently you owe 1t in your heart neither allegiance nor obedience. The only legal authority In Belgium Is that appertaining to our King, his government and the representatives of the nation"
 The Haxue.---CardinaI Mercier was expected to deliver a sermon at Ant werp Sunday, but failed to appear, and Father Rutten. addressing the congre- gation said:
 Antwerp always belonged to the Antwerpians. and 1t will be theirs in the future. The reason why I, instead of the cardinal, address you, is that owing to exceptional circumstances his emil hence is prevented from attending
 This statement Is the sole foundation for tho report that Cardinal Mercier has been arrested.

 On the other hand, export buying came to at least a temporary halt today. 50 far-as Chicago was concerned, though not at the seaboard.
