Wolf Pit Census.

The census for Wolf Pit town
ship was divided between G. A.
McRae and Joseph Gibson. Mr..
McRae had that portion east of
the Sandhill road, leading from
Rockingham to Cheraw, together
with the Incorporated town of
Lewaree; Mr.. Gibson had the
west side of the road. Mr.. Nc
Rae completed his task last Fri
day, mailed his report to the
District Supervisor, L. A. Martin,
at Lexington, and this morning
received instructions from Mr..
Martin to at once proceed with
taking the census for the west
side of the road, in Wolf Pit,
inasmuch as Mr.. Gibson has been
i'll and unable to take up the
work. Mr.. McRae will do this
at once.

LOT FOR LIBRARY
Henry c. Wall Formally Presents a
$4,000 Lot to the Library Associa-
ton (for City and County on Which
to Erect Carnegie Library Building.
A Generous Gift, and Appreciated.

The Board of Trustees of the
Library Association met this
Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock
to receive from Mr.. Henry C..
Wall the deed for the splendid
lot between the Presbyterian and
Methodist churches. Mr.. Wall
bought this lot recently from Mr..
Patrick, for the purpose of giving
it to the Association. The deed
was presented this afternoon by
Mrs. Lucy Russell, for Mr.. Wall,
and was accepted for the Asso-
citation and the city by Mr.. w. N.
Everett, and for the county by
Mr.. B. F. Reynolds.
Active steps will be taken at
once to secure the Carnegie
building promised if the city
would vote a special library tax
for its support, and provide a
free lot. The city voted this
special tax last year, and now a
big-hearted Rockingham citizen
has voluntarily given the lot, and
a valuable one it is too, and
ideally situated.
The library, while established
and maintained by Rockingham,
is for the ENTIRE COUNTY.
The present quarters are over
Arenson's store, but with a hand
some building erected, on such
commanding site, the posslbili-
ties for serving freely the entire
county are unlimited. A fine
act upon the part of Mr.. Wall
this giving of a lot; and the
county as a whole will thank him
for laying the foundation of a
fine big library building.

EPIDEMIC BETTER
Flu Situation in Town and
Country Somewhat I'm
proved. Only Al Cases
Have Developed in Rock
ingham; Many of These
Convalescent. Red Cross
Active. Four Deaths to
Date.

The flu situation in Rocking
ham, Hamlet and the country.at-
large appears to be slightly bet
ter. When the Post-Dispatch
went to press last week, the mum.
Der of cases reported in Rocking
ham was 16: since that time Is
cases have developed, on an
average of nearly four a day.
The country district and mills
had Ga cases; today they have a
total of LAG. But while al have
been reported for the city and
146 for the country and mills,
many of these have become con-
valescent and quite number have
recovered.
Only four deaths have occurred
from pneumonia-infuenza in the
county todate. The list of deaths
appears elsewhere in the POST
DISPATCH. So far as can be learn
ed there are but six cases of
pneumonia in the county; this is
a relatively small number, as
compared with the epidemic of
1918. All in all, Richmond coun-
ty has so far escaped remarkably
we'll compared with other coun-
ties. The average number of
cases reported daily for the en-
tire State is $500.
The Board of Health met last
Friday and requested that the
churches of Rockingham refrain
from holding services for the
present and asked that no social
parties be held and unnecessary
gatherings be- dispensed with.
In observance of this request,
there will be no services next
Sunday at any of the Rockingham
churches or Sunday schools. The
picture show was closed last Fri
day night.
The situation at Hamlet ap-
pears better; only 3 new cases
were reported for Wednesday in
Hamlet and l for today. The
doctors there think that unless
it appears more widespread, the
Hamlet schools and picture show
can reopen next Monday.
The Executive Committee of
the Red Cross met Monday and

On Tuesday night of last week
the stores of A. w. Porter and
Stephenson Belk were broken
open in the dead hours of night,
the robbers prizing open the
front doors. Pistols, cartridges,
knives ETC., were taken from the
Porter store, and bags, shirts,
ties etc., from Stephenson-Belk's
No clue was discoverable as to
the perpetrators, but Mr.. Flake,
who clerks for Porter, remem-
bered that two strangers were in
the Porter store about 8 o'clock
Tuesday night inspecting the
pistols and seeking to buy cart
ridges.
On Friday morning Chief of
Police Sam Covington received a
wire from the Columbia, S. C.,
police asking had any store been
recently burglarized in Rocking
ham. Mr.. Covington replied at
once, and getting into long dis
tance communication, learned
that the Columbia police had ar
rested two strangers as suspic-
ious characters and upon search
ing them had found new articles
of wearing apparel with the firm
name of Stephenson-Belk, Rock
ham, on them. This caused them
to wire to Rockingham. Mr..
Covington went to Columbia Fri
day hight and brought the two
prisoners back to Rockingham
Saturday night, hand-cufed. The
two give their names as c. c.
Moore and Fred Butler. One
claims to be a Canadian.
A preliminary hearing was had
before Mayor Phillips and Squire
Steele Monday afternoon. Tes.
tifying we're W. B. Flake, J. B.
Williams and Chief Coyington.
The, defendants were not repre-
sented by counsel. Moore took
the stand in his behalf and swore
that he and his partner had
bought the pistols and other ar
ticles in question from a stranger
in d Dodge car near Cheraw on
Wednesday, paying SIS therefor.
That it is true they were in the
Porter store early in the night of
Tuesday, but after making a pur-
chase had departed at once for
Columbia in their Oakland car.

IA1LCA llSdA 1llS tIlO OCNIdCAl(C1 llAS
Mayor bound each to Superior
Court that convenes April 5th,
under $500 bond in each of the
two warrants against them, max
ing each mans bond $1,000. In
default of this they are now in
Jail.
Several stores in Sanford were
broken open in the early part of
last week, and a portion of the
things stolen from these stores
were found in possession of these
two men. among them a large
manicure set taken from Chears'
store at Sanford.
Chief Covington Tue sday
morning received warrants from
the Norfolk police, charging these
two men with stealing an Oak
land car, valued at $1,000, from
S. O. Cocks, of Norfolk, and ask
ing that upon expiration of any
sentence the North Carolina
courts may give them, they be
held for extradition to Virginia
for theft of this car.
Doubtless they have operated
in other towns, they possibly
breaking and stealing promlscu-
ously on their journey south
ward. At any rate, the arm of
the Law has at last stopped them
and they bid fair to board for
quite a considerable spell on the
roads or in the pen.
LATER Since the foregoing
was put in type, it develops that
there is a charge of highway
robbery against these two men.
Policeman w. L. MCGOWAN and
Oscar Coleman came from Flor
ence, S. c., Tuesday, stating that
on Wednesday night of last week,
about 9 o'clock, two white men
entered the Coleman store at
Florence, and holding the in
mates of the store up with pis-
tolls made Coleman deliver all
the cash he had, amounting to
$50. Coleman said from the de-
scription he thought Moore and
Butler might be the men. In
order to make the Identification
complete, Sheriff Mcdonald and
Chief Covington placed three
men with Moore and Butler, in
a row against the jail wall, and
then had Coleman enter; but
Coleman had no difficulty in
identifying the two men, he in
stantly picking out the two who
he claims held him up.
So the web draws tighter
around these strangers; and if
the truth were known, no doubt
they are wanted in other towns.
Behind brick walls and iron bars
is the best place for such char
aCterS.
