the total loss on the Peninsula taking

handicap the fruit growers, but is also
a hard blow to every merchant and
business interest on the Peninsula.

Rotary Meeting is
to Be Held Friday

Because good roads delegates are
expected in High Point Thursday, To-
cal Rotarians will not hold their reg
ular meeting on that day, but on
Friday at 1875 o'clock they will hold
their luncheon in the Commercial club
building, Rev w. A. Lambeth, presi-
dent of the Rotary clubs announced
this week.
High Point Rotarians expect to CO.
operate with local committees for the
parade because they believe it will be
one,of the greatest events ever staged
in High Point. Seevral Rotarians will
go to Greensboro previous to the pa
rade, hence it was found necessary to,
postpone the time for the meeting of
the club.

Wounded Man May
Recover Says Report
Shaver's Condition is Reported Favor
able-May Remove DR.. Peacock

Henry Shaver, who was struck by
stray bullet fired by DR.. J. w. Pea
cock when the latter killed Chief of
Police j. 2. Taylor in ThomasviIle
Saturday morning, was reported to be
IN favorable condition toward recov-
cry. Shaver was brought to a local
hospital Immediately after the shoot
ing. His condition at that time was
thought to be critical, but unless COM
pllcations set in he will recover, it
was reported.
Thomasville, according to. reports
is quiet after having been the scene
of one Of the worst tragedies in the
history of the little town. The hom-
icide is still the outstanding topic for
conversation in Thomasville, but the
excitement is not as much in evidence
as it was Saturday.
Reports received from Lexington
are to the effect that efforts may be
made to have DR.. Peacock removed to
another jail to await trial. Whether
such action would be taken because
of fear of mob violence could not be
learned, but it is known that if any
unlawful course were pursued it would
not be difficult to obtain admittance
to the prison in the Davidson county
town because of the Jail facilities
there.
It was also reported that the town
of Thomasville would employ counsel
to assist Solicitor Bower in the pros
ecution of the defendant. E. T. Cans
Ter, ST., of Charlotte, is said to have
been requested to help prosecute, but
whether he has consented was not
learned in either Lexington or High
Point.
J. R. McCrary, Wade Phillips, Mr..
Raper and the law firm of Walser
and Walser have been retained as
counsel for Dr.. Peacock.
The funeral of Chief Taylor was
held at Winston-Salem Sunday. Mem
bers of the police force of that city
attended in body.
