Killing Occurs At Candor.
(Troy NORTHUMBERLAND


While attending religious servi.
ces at a colored school near Candol
on Saturday night, Gene Baldwin
a colored youth, was shot to death
by Lonnie McRae, also colored.
The two negroes it seems were
arguing out ON the school yard al
the time the shooting occurred
Baldwin was shot through the neck
by McRae. McRae's story of the
affair is that they were not quarrel
ing but playing when the pistol
which he was carrying accidentl,
discharged.
Both negroes were drinking and
disturbing the worship before the
killing occurred. McRae was ar
rested and brought here where he
was lodged in Jail to await trial.
There were several eye witnesses tC
the killing.

John Doe" proceedings were
in progress at Ellington, Harnett
county, this week before Judge
Oliver H. Allen in an effort to
discover the identity of a number
of masked, white-robed men who
whipped several Harnett county
men who it is thought were blind
tigers. Judge Allen urged the
formation of law enforcement
leagues, but he condemned the
use of masks for such purpose.

Mrs. Payne Killed.
Continued from Front Page,

wrong station. The conductor
indicated a street and hotel, and
not knowing her optical infirrnity
went on about his business. A
few minutes later she was found
beside the track in an uncon.
scious condition. She either was
struck by passing freight; or
perhaps in walking back towards
the station she heard a train
coming and stepped from one
track down slight declivity
against the moving freight. At
any rate, she was injured so bad.
ly that despite the efforts OF the
hospital surgeon and nurses,
death resulted about three hours
later in the Suffolk hospital.
The remains were carried to
Norfolk Saturday, and the fun
eral was conducted by her Rec
tor, Rev. Mr.. Howard, at St.
Luke's Episcopal church Mon
day morning. The numerous
floral designs from Rockingham
and elsewhere attested in a small
way the love in which her friends
regarded her. MIR. and Mrs. w.
N. Everett and Beverley T.
Payne attended the funeral from
Rockingham, and Mrs. Pegues
from Greenville. The palLbear-
ers were her sons, sons,in-law
and grandsons.
Surviving are the following
children: Mrs. w. N. Everett,
Rockingham; Mrs. Marlborough
Pegues, Greenville; and five sons,
Walter W., James W., Pinckney
T., George NJ, and Beverley I'll
Payne. A son, Eugene G. Payne,
died in Rockingham last April.
Mrs. Payne was a daughter of
the late James and Louisa Eel.
lows Minetree, of Petersburg.
Reared in that before -the-war
atmosphere of culture and re-
fnement, she grew to beautiful
young womanhood, and at the
age of 10 she was married to
Mr.. w. T. Payne, who for many
years held an important position
in the official life of the Norfolk
& Western. He died in 1913 of
appendicitis.
! Mrs. Payne was rs years old
at her death, but such was her
vivacity and happy spirit that
her years literally belied her
feelings. With a faith sweet and
true, a devotion to loved ones
and loyalty to friends, she has
caused these to know that a gen.
tie spirit has but gone before to
that unknown and silent shore \
And now in her passing her
loved ones can be colnforted in
| the words of Longfellow:
There is no Death! What seems so is
transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call Death"

GOOD NEWS FROM
RICE PRESSCROVE

1t seems Rice got impatient over
the BONUS question. So much so
that he called a meeting of all con-
nected with the firm to take some
quick action as to the distribution of
a BONUS. After some discussion,
all agreed not to wait on Congress,
and Uncle Sam any longer. Rice was
enthusiastic and asked permission TO
put on a rousing BONUS SALE and
not only give.a BONUS to our soldier
boys, but to every man, woman and
child within a distance of forty miles
of Grenada. Rice's suggestion car
ried and the BONUS question was
fixed, and their doors were immediate
~ closed ard the work of marking
down prices began. 1t was voted that
for sever days they would contribute
all their usual or customary profits
to the people at large as a BONUS.
So the distribution of the big Press
grove Dry Goods Company's stock
at BONUS prices will start SATUR-
DAY MORNING, MAY 18TH. Ev-
erybody is invited. This will certain
ly be an opportunity to purchase
goods and must be regarded
as good Observation-Disclosures.
