burglar had caught freight from
this platform.
Word was sent up and down
the Seaboard, but up to the pres
ent time no clue has been Sc
cured.
Undoubtedly if the town or
county owned bloodhound, the
man would have been caught.
The trail could have been taken
right after the house breaking,
instead Of the delay of four hours
in getting dog from Raeford.
Investigation later disclosed
that the man had slit with a knife
an opening in the back screen
sufficient for him to undo the
latch Evidently he was bent on
robbing the house and probably
had just gone into the bedroom
of Mr.. Hasty when he heard the
young lady coming.

Bill Diggs Killed.

Bill Diggs, young colored man
of Wolf Pit township, was shot Sun
day night in Greensboro at $50
O'Clock by Donnie Leak. The re-
mains were brought to Rockingham
and inferred in Wolf Pit Wednes-
day.
Diggs had quite a reputation in
this section as a baseball pitcher.
He was about % years old. About
two months ago he and his friend
Leak went to Greensboro to live.
The shooting took place at the home
of Ruffin Headen, on Sampson
street, in Greensboro. The following
account appeared in the Greensboro
News Monday:
The only witness to the affair,
]. r. Smith, negro, stated that Diggs
was writing a letter when Leach
came in the room. Nothing was
said by Diggs until Leach, who was
drinking, on starting to leave the
room took a gun out of a coat which
was hanging on the wall. At this
Diggs told Leach to leave the gun
in the coat and started to take it
away from him. Leach backed
away, holding the gun in front of
him, the gun going off and the bull
let hitting Diggs in the abdomen.
Smith states that he believes the
shooting was accidental; that Diggs
merely wanted Leak to leave the
gun in the room so that he would
be assured of getting into no trou-
bic after leaving the room. and that
the gun was accidentally discharg-
ed. Only one cartridge was in the
gun.
However, the police are trying to
locate Leak as the room gives evi-
dence of a struggle, the stove pipe
having been knocked down and sew
eral bottles on the mantle broken"

BOLD BURGLARY
Attempted Burglary of John
Hasty Residence in Rock
ingham Last Sunday Night.
Burglar Trailed by Blood
hound to Hamlet Where
He Caught Freight and
Escaped.

Rockingham was thrown into
a fever of excitement last Sun
day evening about 9 o'clock by
the report that the residence of
John N. Hasty had been entered
by a burglar. Quickly a crowd
Of determined men assembled in
pursuit.
In the house at the time were
four girls-Miss Maggie Mae
Hasty, Mary Bolton, Johnsie and
Jessie McAulay. The residence
is on Bungalow avenue, and to
the rear of the house is a thick
patch of woods. The girls motto
ed about $3.50 a colored man walk
ing in the back yard, and so they
latched the back screen door.
A few minutes later one of the
girls suggested that they drive
their Car down town until the
family should return from
church. Miss Hasty went into
her room to get her coat, and
then stepped to the door of her
fathers room adjoining to turn
off the light. The other girls
were in the front hall. AS she
reached her hand within the
door to turn this light off, her
arm was seized from within. She
tried to jerk back and screamed
and the intruder endeavored to
close his hand over her mouth,
She continued to scream, the
other girls started running to her
room and the man released her
and ran.
The alarm was given, but
with presence of mind no one
was permitted to 60 to the rear
of the house until d bloodhound
could be secured. Mr.. Cockman
was reached over long distance
at Raeford within Is minutes
after the occurrence, and he left
Raeford with his fine hound
promptly, reaching Rockingham
about 12:45.
Miss Hasty could give no de-
scription of the man other than
that he was a large negro, wear
ing an overcoat with the collar
turned up to his ears.
The hound was carried to the
back porch and at once took the
scent. The intelligent animal
trailed through the woods, down
Back street, up to Stephenson
Belk corner, then on cement
pavement to Barrett's store. He
then doubled back to the Belk
corner and down through back
lots to near the depot; from
thence he trailed without a flicker
straight up the railroad track to
Hamlet, went a few yards past
the cotton platform, then back
to the platform and on top of
same from which place he refus-
ed to bulge, indicating that the

Long Auction Sale.

The auction sale of lots oppc-
site the Fair Grounds, on the
Betsy Long property, scheduled
for Wednesday, was postponed
until today, owing to the steady
rain. Rain again today cut the
attendance down. However, ten
lots were sold. The others will
be sold privately.
1t is probable that later on the
lots to the rear may be offered
for sale to the colored people.

LAST MALE DESCENDANT
INDIGO KING PASSES

Natchez, Miss, May 19.-With the
death of James Surget the last male
descendant of one Of the famous indl-
20 kings of the South passed away.
In 1882 Pierre Surget obtained a
plantation by Spanish grant and plant
ed indigo. Indigo was being grown ex-
tensively in Louisiana at that time and
found ready market. The Surget for
tune soon was made and many years
afterwards the little town Of Cherry
Grove came into existence on part
of the plantation. 1t was there that
James Surget was born and died. He
left a daughter.
Although "a years old James Surget
never rode in an automobile nor used
a telephone. A breeder of thorough
bred race horses and a devotee of rae
ing, he boosted that he never bet
dollar.
The casket containing his body was,
at his request, borne to the family
burying ground by old negroes, former
slaves to the family.

BRITISH PLANS
CONTROL EAST
GROUP OF FAR-SlGHTED BANK
Frs ARE LENDING MONEY TO
AUSTRIA. re BUY RAW MATE

THE determination Of Great Britain
to extend her control in all world
markets leading to the east" is EVIL
denced by the plans of her bankers
to rehabilitate the industries OF
southeastern Europe, according to
statement of the Guaranty Trust
Company, of New York. in the latest
issue OF its fortnig atty trade review,
American Goods AMI Foreign Mar
kets." II adds tna. with the world
suffering from under production, and
at the same time from the enforced
idleness of factories throughout Eur
rope, the British method Of setting
the machinery in motion is not only
constructive and ar-sighted, but OF
world wide significance"
The group Of British bankers who
are to undertake this task is to be
known as the Anglo-Danubian asso-
citation, it's purpose being ito furnish
the raw materials which these coun-
tries need under an arrangement which
will insure their transformation into
finished goods in the least possible
time, thus shortening the term OF
necessary credit extensions"
IL Is III SIdppAH6 ooAoiJ "As~-
problems such as those raised by the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of Austria" says the
Guaranty Trust Company OF New
York, that British ability to organize
foreign trade stands pre- eminent. The
initial capital to be employed is not
great, but the method is sound. More
over, it is applicable not only to ter
ritories formerly Austrian, but to all
parts of the world temporarily pros
trate. 1t amounts in essence to ship
ping raw material to any point where
manufacturing facilities are lying idle,
retaining full control of this raw mate
rial through each stage of transform
alton, and deducting from the sale
price of the article sum which
might aptly be called manufacturing
commission, payable to the factories
that have assisted in the work"

BOSTON FIRE
ENGINE PASSES
HIGH PRESSURE WATER SYSTEM
MAKING ONLY HOSE TRUCkS
NECESSARY is ASSURED.

Boston, May 19-The fire engine is
| to disappear from the streets OF down
itown Boston. The lively spectacle OF
galloping horses with an engine in tow
went out with the advent Of the mo-
tor drawn engine, and now motor and
steam engines are to be forced from
the city proper entirely. A high-pres-
sure water system, in Which only hose
trucks will be used is assured of early
operation by the signing of contracts
for three pumping stations.
A gridiron of pipe lines has been con-
structed under the streets, the high
pressure pipage now laid aggregating
e.3 miles, with 262 hydrants. Eventual
ly, under the present plans, the sys-
tenn will be extended to include more
than 10 miles of pipe.
Through this pipe $4,000 gallons of
water a minute will be forced at 300
pounds pressure, or approximately 49,
900 gallons at the more practical pres
sure of 200 pounds, from four pump
ing stations which will be operated this
year. Three additional pumping sta
lions are planned, which will increase
the volume of water to $4,000 gallons
at 200 pounds pressure. Water will be
drawn from three sources-salt water
from the harbor, the domestic low pres
sure system, and from high pressure
feeds.
Operation of the new system, it is e e;
pected, will result in 4 considerable
reduction in fire insurance rates in the
districts covered. A mark-down of Is
percent has been suggested as possible.
The system, the construction of which
was begun years ago will have cost
between 100000 and s4,O0o,000 when
completed.
