AGAINST DIR. MAY.
PETTUs is LODGED IN JAIL
May And Hi. wife Were Walking
On Street When The Tragedy
Occurred.
PETTUs is LODGED IN JAIL

J. B. Pettus, the local colored tai
lor, shot and instantly killed DIR. J.
S. May, local colored physician,
Monday night at seven o'clock, in
front of Browder's grocery, on the
corner of First and Mechanic SIS.
Pettus had ridden up to Browder's
grocery on bicycle and was drink
ing coca-cola when DR.. May aud
his wife came out of the store and
passed up the street. Pettus inn
mediately drew his revolver, 38 cali
bre Colts and fired two shots, one
striking DR.. May in the right arm
and the other entering the right lung
and lodging just below the heart.
The killing is supposed to have
been the result of a grudge which
Pettus is said to have harbored
against DIR. May for several months.
DIR. May was Master Of the local
colored Masonic Lodge, which po-
sition Pettus is said to have coveted.
Failing to be elected to the Office,
Pettus made accusations against DR..
May before the lodge, both as to the
way he handled the finances and then
that he had insulted his (Pettus')
wife in the anti-room of the Easter
Star lodge, of which order she is
treasurer On the lattre charge May
was held to the grand jury last week.
Pettus had made threats against
Dr. Map on several occasions, with
the result that two peace warrants
were sworn out against, him by DR..
May.
Following the killing, Pettus went
to police headquarters and surrend-
cred, after admitting having done
the shooting, He i ~ Jam charged
with murder.
Both were prominent men among
the local colored citizens. DR.. May
was a middle-aged man while Pet
tus was several years younger.

ACCEPT FINES
And Surrender the Fight To Stay
Open At PembrOke-Pay ST.
900 and Quit.

After the first of dozen cases
against the Pembroke saloon keepers
trial Friday afternoon had resulted
in, fine of 500 against t. E. Dough
erty, one of. the defendants, the vets
and drys held a conference and a
settlement was effected by which the
barroom owners accepted fines ag-
gregating $4,000, closing up their
places of business Immediately and
agreed to ship all their liquor out of
the county within fifteen days.
The case was tried before County
Judge Chaniplin. Dougherty asked
for a jury. Two witnesses testified
that, as agents for the prohibitionists,
they had purchased half a pint of
whiskey each after the licenses had
ben cancelled by the Town Trustees
and the County Judge.
Dougherty made no denial Of the
sale, but claimed that the agreement
made last fall by the prihibitionists
and saloon men of Christian county,
by which local option election was
called off, was not binding and the
authorities had no legal right to re-
woke the licenses.
1t all turned on the right Of Coun-,
ty Judge Champlin to revoke the
State license and the Board of Trus-
tees to cancel the Pembroke city,
license. The court upheld this right
and the cases were to be tried in.
quick succession on peremptory in
structions, when the saloon men
threw up their hands and quit.
County Attorney Sam Fruit comes
in for nice fee out Of the cash
payment. He, gets 5000 of the ST.
600 in fines.
This ends the contest in Christian
county, and unless there are new de-
velopments, the county is now on al
dry basis until the nation goes dry

DECIDE GERMANY MUST PAY
$4,000, 100000. PLUS FIG
URE OF JOINT COMMISSION
PRES. WILSON WILL BE THERE
Rapid Progress Toward Peace Will
Enable President To Stay
For Meeting.

Paris, April IA statement bv
President Wilson in behalf of the
council of four, says that the ques-
ton of peace are so near complete
solution that they will be quickly
drafted. This announcement was con-
tanned in an official bulletin which adj
ded that the German plenipotentiar-
les has been invited to meet at Yer
sales on April 25.
The president hopes that the ques-
tions Of Italy, especially relating to
the Adriatic, will be brought to a
speedy agreement. The Adriatic
question will be given precedence ov-
er the other questions.
The settlements belonging especial
ly to the treaty with Germany, the
statement says, will thus be gotten
out of the way and at the same time
other settlements will be completely
formulated.
Must Pay $40, ,OO0, ,OOO, 900.
One hundred billion gold marks is
the amount Germany must pay the
allied and associated government for
losses and damages caused during the
war, plus other billions to be deter
mined by special commission on
which Germany is to be represented.
This is the final definite conclusion
which has been reduced to writing af-
ter weeks of negotiation which took
a wide range and involved frequent
changes and notifications.
The payment of the 100000, ,OOO,-
600 gold marks is to be divided into
three distinct amounts.

MRS. STOWE
DIES SUDDENLY
Her Husband Returned From the
Grange Sale, and Found Her
LifeIess on Couch.

Mrs. Stella Radford Stowe, wife
of Mr.. G. Howard Stowe, died with
shocking suddenness Friday after
noon, while alone at her home at Ja-
lien. Her dead body was found ly-
ing on .aScouch about o'clock when
Mr.. Stowe returned from the Grange
sale. It had been Mrs. Stoves in
tention to go to the sale in the after
noon to take part in the meeting of
the Egg Circle, of which she was
President. She was suffering with a
headache in the forenoon, though
otherwise in her usual health, was
the reason she did not go when Mr..
Stowe went. Shortly after luncheon
she dismissed the cook and closing
the house, in which she was left
alone, lay down to take nap hoping
to be relieved of the headache. This
after she had decided she would
not go to the sale. Mr.. Stowe and
his son, Henry, returned home about
5 o'clock and finding the house closed
supposed Mrs. Stowe had gone for a
ride in her car. When they entered
the house she was lying upon the
couch with covering over her and a
hasty effort to arouse her resulted in
the discovery that she was lifeless.
A physician came in great haste but
found that life had apparently been
extinct for an hour or more.
She was predisposed to heart at
tacks and the presumption is that she
was seized with an attack that prov
ed fatal. Mrs. Stowe was the young
est daughter of the late Chas. ].
Radford, prominent citizen of the
Pembroke neighborhood. Her aged
mother, Mrs. Annie Radford, sur
wives her. Also one sister, Mrs. W.
j. Chiles and two brothers, Joseph
Radford, of Cincinnati, and Will
Radford, of this county.
Mrs. Radford was one of the most
prominent and influential women of
this county. She was a leader in ev-
erything she undertook, especially in
the organization of the ladies in the
work of the Grange. The famous
turkey pool of South Christian, the
egg circle and various clubs for dis
posing of farm products were ex-
amples of her fine executive ability
and superior powers of organiza-
ton. She possessed many accom-
plishments and was also a society
leader in club work and literary mat
ters and was equally prominent in pa
triotic movements, church work and
other lines of activity. She was a
lady of most pleasing personality and
in her home was known for her
boundless hospitality. To be invited
to one of her famous dinners was
pleasure long to be remembered.
Mrs. Stowe left no children of her
own, but was rearing a little niece,
a daughter of her deceased sister.
She was 38 years of age and mem
ber of. South Union Baptist church.
The funeral services were held by
her pastor, Rev. H.. E. Gabby, Sun
day Afternoon at o'clock at the fam
lily home on the Julien Pike. The
burial followed at Riverside ceme-
terry. A great crowd of sympathetic
friends Were present. .1S

C. Larsen, director of the State college

NOT SO MUCH

The ultimate factor in war finance
is not the dollar, but what the dollar

CANADIANS ARE
CONCERNED ON
FLOUR lnDUy'R
Millers Complain Of Having In

to Compete With America. Are.
Not Protected by Established

Montfeal,-The Financial Times saws
the situation confronting milling ina1s.
tries of Canada at the present time are
viewed With concern, it is stated by
leading millers. Chances of securing a
fair share of the flour business with
neutral countries is fast fading aSvav
they say. Due to the fact that American
millers have been leaving no stone un-
turned to garner this trade and they
have been ably seconded in their eff
forts to credit the supply by the Amer,
can government as to credit.
In Cariafla6 it is stated that wfiic
