WHITE MAN CHARGED
WITH INDUSTRIOUS CRIME.

Greenvile, Nov. "A special We
nire of 100 Pitt county citizens has
been summoned for Friday afternoon
at O'Clock from which to select the
jury to sit on the case of Bonnie An
drews, young white man, charged
with criminal assault on Estelle
Briley, 12-year old daughter of J. S.
Briley, of the Stokes section of Pitt
county.
A true bill was returned by the
grand jury this afternon and Judge
&c. c. Lyon, presiding over the pres
ent term of court, had the defend
ant arraigned and set the trial for
Friday afternoon
The case, based on a capital Of
fense, resulted from an alleged attack
by Andrews on the Briley girl Mon
day afternoon. He is said to have gone
to the Stokes school and forced the
girl to accompany him in an automo-
4; bile to Washington, N. c., where they
were arrested late that day. Andrews
was returned to Pitt county for trial
while the girl was given an examina-
tion by physicians, it being ascertain
Jed, it is alleged, that she had been
assaulted.
1t is said the prosecution claims a
gun was used by the man in forcing
the girl to enter his machine There
is considerable interest, bordering on
excitement, in the county in regard
to the case and fears were entertained
that it would be difficult to get a
jury. The names of the 100 venire-
men were drawn from the box.

THE CHECK OFF SYSTEM

On account of the Injunction
which has been granted by Judge
Anderson of Indianapolis against the
check off system which has been in
vogue for sometime, and which was
in the contract made by the mine
workers union, namely that each pay
day certain amount of money
should be taken from the pay envel-
ope of the miner to pay his share of
dues to support the union, 200 mines
are closed and the miners are on
strike.
This strike is said to be a protest
against the action of the court,
which recognizes the .sright of the
mine worker to spend his money as
he plea5es regardless of whether he
is a member of the union or not. and
says in effect, that the mine opera
tors should not be compelled to be
4 collecting agency for the unions.
President Gompers on the other
hand sees in it plan to break up
the unions. He says that it is the
life and soul of the union. In 9TH
-er words he reflects upon the integ-
rity of tile members of the union, for
in 50 ea+;..s, he leaves the impress
sion ttsat unless the mine worker is
compelled co pay his dues that the
union vii, aot get the money, since
If he loses standing with his organi-
zation he will under the rules be
suspended. Again, it is a quality of
servitude, in that if a miner should
desire to leave the union, he must
of necessity go through the form of
notifying the unions that he will no
longer allow the weekly stipend to
be extracted from his pay Where
the union is strong and he is hedged
about on every side with his brother
workmen who are members of the
union, to that extent is he prevented
from exercising his own free will
and accord

ing worked with non-union miners

Judge Anderson in writing his de-

who had the right to do with his

is disfrancE;scd in regard to roads.
Ietc.
The roads in the Fork, most of
them are almost impassable the year
round The chaingang has not been
over here in many years, yet we pay
our five dollar road tax and our au-
tomobile license tax, which should be
applied to the locality from which it
come. We also pay our prorata
share OF tax for the highway from
Batesburg to Brookland. With all this
tax expenses there is never a dollar
for the Fork. Is this justice to the
taxpayers Of the Fork?
Our ferry flats, the only means Of
crossing SalHda river. are in a very
dangerous condition. still there seems
to be no relief when we apply to our
officials.
The neglect nf the Forks share Of
ireturn from taxes has been one Of the
prime geological factors in old Lex
ington county having her anatomy
grated to her sister counties.
It does seem that ii would be a
good business proposition at least tor
Lexington county to save her taxable
territory by giving each section her
share OF justice in distribution OF
