Committee Discusses Further Plans
For Field Day

Judging from the fact that another
committee meeting was held last
Monday afternoon in which more de-
finite plans for Field Day were dis
cussed, it seems that everything
points toward a bigger event than
we have ever had. Prof. Sans of
5onesville, Supt. Jeffries and Miss
Fleming, composing the high school
committee, together with Mr.. John
ston, chairman of the graded schools
committee, and Mr.. Ikenberry, chair
man of the athletic committee, in
joint session, discussed every phase
of the work that would add to the
success of the event. These plans
will be laid before the county Teach
er's Association at it's next meeting
for adoption. A circular will then be
mailed to every teacher in the county
explaining the work outlined for Field
Day, together with the rules govern
ing same and also directions for ath-
letic training.
The meet will be held this year on
the ninth of April.

Frank Suber, colored man about

Wednesday afternoon upon the
charge of robbing the mails. There
had never been any complaint made
as to parcel post packages being lost
at that point, but Sheriff FAINT "got
on" to the fact that the mails were
being robbed at that point, and upo,.
the information gained, arrested the
negro. Suber acknowledged that all
the parcel post packages found in
two different houses had been OBJ
tanned from the mail pouches, but
that he himself did not get the pack.

to pay another negro, Ed Glenn, SO
cents or dollar each time he went
in the pouch. Glenn denies any
knowledge of the robbery.
This work done by Sheriff FAINT
was quite stroke. Not even the
postal authorities had any knowledge
of the robberies being pulled off.
There has never been any complaint
made, so far as can be learned.

Neal Carter, a much respected old
colored man, employed on the farm
of De Aubrey Gregory, died on Jan
uary 22nd last, and was buried the
following day at Maple Ridge col

as he was familiarly known, was
thoroughly trustworthy and up to the

charge of the home until their return.
Neal was 68 years of age and was
formerly owned by Mrs. Jas. Carter
of this county, (now deceased) who
before her marriage was Miss Sophia
Van Lew, and to his mistress, he was
always loyal.

BEN TILLMAN'S
SOUND SUGGESTION

Senator Tillman's suggestion rec
ommending marking time on the
naval programme pending the Euro
pean war is characteristic of his
hard horse sense.
The Washington Herald says:
Senator Tillman's plan to suspend
the construction of warships until
the close of the war is full wisdom.
If his advice is followed, there will
be fewer archaic monstrosities afoat
to contribute to the absurdity OF
Uncle Sans inefficient naval ara
ment. Six months of the present
war have served to modify existing
naval theories very materially. Better
wait, gentlemen, until the vaunted
Dreadnought either does or doesn't.
Even during the long period o,
peace, comparatively speaking, the
world has enjoyed. the big battleships
the nations were constantly construct
ing seemed to become antiquated and
obsolete for practical purposes almost
as fast as they were built.
How stupid, then, it would be for
the United States to lay the keels
for costly Dreadnoughts that might
be out of commission, so to speak
In view of the rapidity of current

the case was given to the jury late
last night. Judge Hill held a session
of the Court this afternoon to receive
the verdict. Only a few persons be-
sides the lawyers and Court attaches
were present when the verdict was
announced
The defendants were accused of
having procured false affidavits from
the Rev. c. B. Ragsdale, formerly
pastor of local church, and r. l..
Barber, in which the afIidavits de,
clared they had overheard James
Conley, a negro, tell another negro
he had killed a girl in the pencil
factory, where the body of Mary Pha-
gan was found. Ragsdale and Bar
ber later 'repudiated the affidavits.
Conley now is serving a years i'm
prisonment as accessory after the
murder of the Phagan girl.
The three men were tried on the
Indictment charging them with brib-
ing Ragsdae. Solicitor General
Dorsey said that in view of today's
verdict it was unlikely they would
be tried on the indictment charging

The End Came About Nine
O'clOck-a Woman Great
ly Beloved by all-She
was Gracious in Good
Deeds and Her Life was
Beautiful.

Mrs. Emslie Nicholson died at her
home Tuesday evening at 9:15 o'clock.
Her death was unexpected, although
she had been quite ill for several
weeks. Her death has brought deep
sorrow to many hearts, for she was

Mr.. Emslie Nicholson of this city,
and from that time to the day of
her death she has been winning her
way to the heart of all the people Of
Union and of the surrounding coun-

enemy in the world, no one ever heard
of it and her friends could trust her
without reserve. She was a devoted
christian and was never weary of
serving her church. Her words
were without bitterness and carried
comfort, not reproach, gentleness
not condemnation.

Police of Aberdeen Think Death of
Parker Caused by Accident.

Aberdeen, April 10.-Roy Webb
and Alex Peterson of Chicago, arrest
ed at Hettinger. N. D., Wednesday
evening as suspects in the Ned Par
ker murder case. were brought here
and examined before the board of in
QUESTION. Both testified that they
were with Parker and Billy Condor
on Monday afternoon preceding the
killing, and that they slept with Par
ker in a strawstack near the stock
yards that night, Condor having left
them in the evening.
1t is now believed Parker either
had an epileptic fit and fell from the
train or lost his hold, striking the
ground where the first pool OF blood
was discovered. In that case he must
have regained consciousness, crawled
a distance of thirty feet, mounted the
embankment to the tracks and fell
unconscious on the tracks, where his
body lay until a freight from the west
struck him.

ICE GORGE
Citizens of Draper Alarmed by Ice in
the White River.

Draper, April 10.-Ranchmen and
others along White river are alarmed
and anxious because of the forming
of an immense ice gorge in the river
near Draper. The water in the river
has been rising for several days and
ii is feared that unless the gorge
breaks, the lowlands along the river
will be flooded. Many ranchmen and
homesteaders have their homes on
the bottoms and along that section of
the river. The ice gorge is said to
extend for a distance of owe ten
miles along the river and for several
days has been assuming a more ON
nous character. Already some of
the residents of the lower lands have
been compelled by back water to seek
safety on higher ground. IL is feared
that great damage will result should
the gigantic ice gorge give way at
once and sweep down the river. If
the gorge gradually breaks up there
will be no serious trouble. When the
gorge first commenced to form ii was
planned 10 break it with dynamite,
but before arrangements could be
made the gorge had grown to such
huge proportions that dynamiting II
would have been useless.
