CARTER VICTIM OF
MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING

Theodore Carter. twenty-eight years
old. of Darlington Heights, Prince
George County. was brought to the
Johnston Willis Hospital Monday az
ternoon. suffering from serious gun
shot wound In the chest.
The shooting has not yet been clearly
accounted for and reports as to 1t diner.
though evidence against Elijah john
son. a negro youth, who is charged
with the shooting seems conclusive as
to Carter's assailant.
Carter. who Is employed by the Nor
folk and Western Railway, as foreman.
states that he went to the youths home
to engage him to do some work on
his place. He engaged him and paid
him In advance. AS he was leaving
the neEros home with Ihis friend. Rich
ard Campbell. also an employe Of the
Norfolk and Western, Campbell fired
his pistol Just for fun.
The boy seemed to be offended by
the shooting and called out that he
was going to shoot too.
Just as Campbell and Carter turned
the negro fred. with his shotgun. most
Of the small shot entering Carriers
chest and making fearful wound.
Campbell ran. Carter alleges, leaving
him on the ground. where he remained
all night in the rain.
The negro also ran away. returning
tho next morning and summoning as
sIstance for the wounded man. He gave
himself up. claiming the shooting was
accidental.
Campbell went of to a Lynchburg
hospital for treatment for his slight
wounds.
Mrs. Matte E. chiidress. Carriers
sister. claims that the negro intention
ally shot her brother on account Of
some previous trouble. Mrs. Frank
s. Gentry. Of 1901 East Marshall Street
is also Carriers sister. 1t 10 feared
that some Of the shot penetrated Car
ter's lungs and that pneumonia may
set in. as frequently happens In such
cases

JOIN HANDS N VAR On
GREAT WHITE PLAGUE
Utilized In Planning Campaign
For Handling Tuberculosis.
MEET HERE OCTOBER 1920
One Session Of Forthcoming Com
vention Of Medical Society of vir-
ginAa to be Set Apart for Discus
sion Of Tuberculosis.

Catawa ba Sanatorium. Va. Sept /.
In response to a request from the
tuberculosis commission recently ap-
pointed by Governor Stuart. the. Medi-
cal Society Of Virginia has decided to
devote one Of the sessions at its COM
ing annual convention in Richmond to
discussion OF the various methods
Of handling tuberculosis cases.
At its recent meeting here the COM
mission devoted much time to consid-
er.ng the means by which the ex-
perience Of the medical profession in
the State and Of leading authorities
on tuberculosis in other States might
be utilized in shaping formal and
comprehensive policy for the treat
ment OF tuberculosis in Virginia.
1t was finally decided to request the
cooperation OF the Medical Society OF
Virginia and to ask It's president, DR..
Samuel Lille, of Lynchburg. to set
aside a special session for the ex-
elusive consideration Of consumption.
A committee from the commission has
since waited on DIR. Iile and has been
assured by him that the Medical So
c,et, will gladly assist the commits
sion in it's work and will prepare the
best possible program for the session
on tuberculosis.
The society's annual meeting this
year in Richmond VIII be held Octo-
Der 1929 and will. 1t 10 thought. be
very largely attended The names OF
the physicians who are to appear on
the program to describe the various
methods of handling consumption have
not vet been announced. but 1t ts' be-
lieved by officers OF the sapatorfum
that some Of the foremost authorities
In America will participate In the
discussion It Is planned to have a
separate speaker on each OF the
modern methods Of handling the whlte
plague--the dfspensary. the visiting
rurse. the local sanatorium and the
STATE sanatorium.

.P0WElL'S PROBE COST
STATE PRETTY PENNY
Nothing Brought Out Asainset Ac-
cuscd Jurtst Except That He
Listened to His Friends.

Turning the light OF public inves-
tigation on members Of the Virginia
judiciary is an expensive piece OF
work, judging by the way the ex-
pense account Of the Poweli-Chiches-
ter investigation in Fredericksburg
has scared.
So far the expense account shows
a total of about $4,000 and the end
Is not yet. Other bills are yet TO
come in. and ii the committees re-
port Is printed the cost will go higher
Some have put the total cost at a
figure very close to $4,000. which Ii
doubtless several thousand OUT of the
way. the correct figure doubtless
being around $4,000.
This total bill Is made up in pay
for members of the committee, their
travelling expenses and the witnesses
expenses and stenographers salaries.
1t IS believed that the committees
report will completely clear Judge
Chichester of all of Mr.. Powelrs
charges 81 political favorftisns In
making county appointments. About
the worst thing shown against the
Judge Is that he listened to his
friends in making appointments.

jority OF the 1900 mowers" seemed
to understand that the men couldn't
cut off and cut on the gas and water
at 1000 places at once.
In similar manner the Virginia
Railway and Power Company did a
rushing business. Many of tbs new
BUILDINGS have not been inspected. so
1t will yet be day or two before the
new occupants can have the current
turned on. Being without gas and
electricity they have to fall back on
candles. There are compensations.
though, in this return to primeval
forms OF illumination. Among these
may be mentioned the lack of a
meter. and the fact that you may
burn a part OF your candle again IL
you are careful enough to save the
dripping tailow.

WILL SEEK TO ADJUST
SCHOOL DIFFICULTY
New superintendent VIII Endeavor to
Bring Factions Together In
Glen Lea Matter.

Citizens Of Farview school district.
who object to the terms Of the sale
of the Glen Lea school building 70
the city OF Richmond. have retained
Haskins Hobson as their counsel ana
they propose to vigorously contest the
sale.
Among those who are objecting to
the sale are: W. E. MOsfnff1er, j. Z.
woodcock. E. P. Naumann, NJ. E.
Wright and Mrs. S. J. Hook and otn-
ers.
Notices have been served on the city
officials that these citizens expect to
enter a petition for an injunction re-
straining the district from selling the
school.
Before this is done, however. J.
y. Harris, Division Superintendent OF
Schools for. Henrico, who began his
new duties yesterday will be called
upon to adjust the difficulty If pos
sible.
He is allowed ten days in which to
do this and II he fails in his efforts
the matter is then brought for APP
peal before the county school electo-
raj board. This board consists of
commemorative Attorney Frank SUIT
ton. ]. D. Harris Superintendent OF
Schools. and c. F. Cross
1t is very probable that either Mr.
Harris or the board may be able to
settle the difficulty. but il they fan
the matter Will then be carried into
court.
AS the proposition stands now the
city has taken the school building on
the hands OF the district at cost. and
while relieving the district of the an
nual expense. will allow all former
pupils of the school to continue their
education there at the expense OF the
city.
The city gains a new building in
which large part of the overflow
of the East End schools may be
taken care of.
