BOLD ROBBERS

The robbers who entered the store
of Mr.. Welsh night or two ago are
certainly very nervy. They spread
some cloth down and slept in the
store, and when they departed took
several valuable manicure sets. and
other articles of mercb andise
amounting to $4,000 in value.
1t is evident they left the store in
the early morning since Officers Will
liams and Cooper tried the doors at
$3.50 and found them locked. At
1880 the side door was open. A hat
belonging to the goods in the store
was found on the way to Toisnot
creek the next morning. Mr.. Welsh
is certainly having a hard time with
thieves. This is the second time his
store has been robbed in week, the
thieves effecting an entrance from
the second story, and came in the
second time through the place they
entered the week before, tearing
the planks from the place of entrance
that had been nailed down.

NOTORIOUS NEGRO FOUND.

Sam Blackman, a notorious negro
who about a year ago fleeced ne
groes of this county out of some $4O,-
900. has been found in Columbus
county and is there in Jail for COM
mitting similar crimes, in default OF
bail to the extent of $4,000.
Sheriff Ben Howard has been look
ing for the negro ever since he left
Wilson but has been unable to locate
him on account of his rapid move
ments. The negro possesses some
ability and is able to WELD mystic
influence over others of his race, for
those he fleeced here stated that he
had not only way of winning their
affection by handling them accord
ing to his own peculiar methods but
mixing petting and spanking he
could do anything he desired.
The negro went under the name of
Sam Blackman here, and at White
vile where he was arrested he gave
his name as George Lee and at
another place as Sam Sasser. Deputy
Sheriff. L. J. Spivey at Whiteville
writes Sheriff Howard that Blackman
is wanted there and in South Caro-
lima for the same crimes.
His long suit which he worked in
number of places was to represent
that he was an agent of the govern
ment and could find gold anywhere.
That the government had given him
this privilege and that he would tell
] them for sufficient remuneration. He
would bury some gold, and lead them
to the place, dig it up and show
them. They paid their money, he dis
appeared and they never got their
money back.
The negroes stood in mortal fear
of him. They believed he possessed
supernatural powers. He would set
off some kind of a powder in a
house or around them and startle
them. They admitted they were afraid
of him and it was sometime after he
left that they revealed to the sheriff
| their loss. He was able to influence
the women. He took two daughters of
| a prominent colored man away with
him, and one of them came back.
The other has not since been heard
from. In Raleigh he had five of them
living with him. He was traced from
here to Raleigh and Wilmington and
| then lost in South Carolina hut has
met his Waterloo. There are so many
cases against him that it will be a
long time before he will be able to
come to Wilson for trial here. He
+, will be tried in the Whiteville court
August 29th.

GOES TO CHAPEL HILL.

The announcement that Mr.. r. d.
w. Connor a native Wilsonian ana
son of Judge H. G. Connor of this
CITY has accepted the chair of History
and Government at the. University
will bring Fluctuations from his many
friends. 1t is a proud achievement
of a worthy son of worthy sire.
Mr.. Connor for years has been sec
retary of the North Carolina Histor1-
cal Commission and has rendered in
valuable service to the state in the
collection of data, and the compila-
tion of matter having to do with the
history of the commonwealth. The
work that he has done as the state
historian has encouraged as never
before a desire on the part of the
people to perpetuate the deeds OF
their ancestors, that they may be an
example for emulation to succeeding
generations.
For many years the history of
North Carolina has suffered by, reason
of the fact that our people have been
remiss in an attempt to inform the
world and posterity of their achieve
ments.
Prof. Connor therefore combines
ability and experiences for the new
work to which he has been assigned
at the University, and in the states
great institrs ION of learning will

WANTS A PHYSICIAN.

June 18th, 1921.
Capt. Carl F. Bats,
Wilson, N. C.
My dear Bats:
We need one medical officer for
the 1st Infantry and are very anxious
to have one from the eastern part of
the state. Is there a doctor in Wilson
who has had service during the war
and who would accept a captafncy in
the medical corps to be assigned to
the 1st. Infantry. OF course we want
a man of good standing and good
physician. At present we have Ma
jor w. B. Hunter Of Gastonia, who Is
the senior officer of the regiment and
Capt J. N. Taylor of Graham, who
has had no former service but or
ganized the medical detachment for
the regiment at that point. Now am
anxious for the other medical officer
to be a captain and we cannot ap-
point and get recognized one as a
captain unless he has been in the
service. If there is not an ex-service
medical officer here we can appoint
one without service as 1st. lieuten-
ant. Get behind this and see what can
be done. The medical officer will be
expected to attend the camp July
10th for fifteen days and think you
can explain to him the money he gets
etc. We have a pretty good crowd of
officers both field and staff and COM
pany officers and it will be very pleas
ant for any doctor who would like
that sort Of life. You might feel out
any that you desire, without offering
them anything definite and let me
know the result.
Yours very truly,
GRANT B. METTS,
The Adjutant General.
