TUCKER & EBWIK.
rioted Smitntown Character to be Given
Preliminary Hearing in Greens-bore
Saturday.
Jim Smith, Smitntown blockader
and alleged murderer, is in the For-syth
county jail in Winston-Salem
awaiting a preliminary hearing in
Greensboro Saturday ou the charge of
the murder of Deputy Collector J. W.
Hendrix on the night of December
290th. Smith was arrested in Madison
Friday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff
H. T. Pratt and brought to Greensboro
Saturday morning and delivered into
the hands, of United States Marshal
Miliikau.
The arrest was made on the strength
of indictments in the United States
court charging Smith with illicit
distilling, and the prisoner came to
Greensboro prepared to give bond in
the sum of$6,000, When his bond had
been arranged, Smith was immediately
arrested ou an indictment sworn out
before United States Commissioner
Wolfe charging him with a conspiracy
to kill Deputy Collector Hendrix. He
was committed to jail without bond to
await bis preliminary hearing. Owing
to the fact that two of the prisoner's
brothers and several other Smithtown
blockaders are confined iu Gullford
jail, it was deemed advisable to send
Smith to Winston-Salem to prevent
him from coming in contact with his
brothers and friends from Smithtown.
Smith has retained ex-Judge W. P.
Bynum, Jr., of this city, and Mr. C. O.
Mi-Michael, of Madison, as counsel.
It is significant that the reward of
$1,000 offered by the government for
the capture of Smith will not be paid
until the matter shall have been passed
on favorably by the Department of
JtiBti-e. This is taken to mt.au that
there is a xuspiciou in the miuds of the
government officers that the capture ot
Smith was a prearranged affair in or-der
that the reward money might be
divided between the prisoner and
others. - •.
Mr. T. Glenn Rot In Politics.
Mr. Tyre Glenn, cashier of the Home
Savings Bank, whose name is men-tioned
in an artk'e reprinted iu this is-sue
from the Washington Post, informs
the PATRIOT that he gave out no inter-view
iu Washington and knew nothing
wbatever of the story until be read It
in the Post. He did not deny the
truthfulness of any statement contain-ed
in the ttory, but was positive in as-serting
that his visit to Washington
had nothing to do with politics. **I
was returning home from a business
trip aud merely stopped off in Wash-ington
ou a visit," said Mr. Glenn. "So
far as I recall, the only person with
whom I talked politics at all Was a
Democratic congressman, and of course
I could not have discussed with him
the details of any fight in the Republi-can
ranks. No, I am uot In politics
this year aud do uot expect to take any
part in auy fight for or against any
faction. I am busy attending to my
own private business affairs and am
content to let the other fellows manage
the political game. I've Md enough
of it."
Mrs. A. G. Wood Dead.
Mrs. A. G. Wood, of Detroit, Mich.,
died Sunday night at the home of her
parents, Mr. and Mra. H. H. Halladay,
in this city. Mrs. Wood came to
Greensboro several weeks ago on a
visit and soon after her arrival suffered
an attack of la grippe, which later de-veloped
into, pneumonia, this being
the cause of her death. The funeral
was held from the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Halladay this morning at 10
o'clock aud the remains interred in
Greene Hill cemetery. Rev. Dr. 8. B.
Tnrrcutiue aud Rev. Dr. G. H. Det-wiler
ouducted the services.
Mrs. Wood is survived by her hus-band,
to whom she was married two
years ago; a father aud mother, a sister
aud a brother.
Colored Attorney Arrested for Embezzle-ment.
Deputy Sheriffs John Weatberly and
"Bud" Shaw made an important ar-rest
late Monday afternoon, when they
placed the heavy baud of the law upon
Martin L. NewbyT a colored lawyer,
whs has resided in Greensboro for
about a year. Newby was arrested on
a warrant sent from Salisbury charg-ing
him with embezzlement. Before
coming to Greensboro, it appears that
Newby worked some sort of Insurance
graft on a portion of the colored popu-lation
of Salisbury. The prisoner was
carried to Salisbury yesterday after-noon
by an officer from that place.
When arrested, Newby protested
vigorously against being locked up like
a common felon, saying he reared it
would injure his reputation and stand-ing
in ths community, but the logic of
his reasoning failed to appeal to Depu-ties
Weatberly and Shaw.
Report of Water and Lhjnt commission.
Ths report of ths Greensboro water
and light commission, as filed with
the board of aldermen, shows that,
during the quarter ending February
1, the total expenditures amounted to
$6,274 11. The principal items making
up this amount are: Expenses of city
station and filter plant, $1,638.58; Reedy
Fork station, $1,149.97; office expenses,
$1,288.55; building house at reservoir
for engineer, $1,259 85. The balance on
hand Januury 1, was $947.60. The cost
of maintaining both plants for the
quarter was $4,592 05, and $1,592.18 was
spent for permanent improvement. It
is further shown by the report that
there is due the commission the follow-ing
amounts Water rents due for
quarter eQdiug January 1, $4,150 31;
water rents In arrears, $5,682.68; water
rents due by meters to special consum-ers,
$3,567.02.
An Arrest Hade Under Difficulties.
Albert Pool, a white man, wanted in
Rockingham county for eloping with
another man's wife was arrested In
Greensboro Sunday, and yesterday was
carried to Weutworsh and lodged in
jail. Pool had deserted the woman
with whom he had eloped aud was liv-ing
in Greensboro with bis lawful wife.
The arrest was made by Deputy Sher-iffs
Weatberly and Shaw, who found
Pool locked in a closet at his home.
The officers broke Into tbe house and
then forced open the door of the closet
iu which Pool was concealed. While
engaged in making tbe arrest, Mrs.
Pool attacked the officers with a rolling-plH,
aud when disarmed of this weapon,
renewed the attack with a hatpin.
WAHTED TO ESCAPe.
Frazier Jones Only Awaited Opportunity
—His Relig-lon Bian't "Take."
Since Frazier Jones, whose death
sentence was commuted to life impris-onment,
has been carried to Raleigh
and placed safely within'* the grim,
strong walls of the state peuiteutiary,
it Is learned that tbe prisoner had re-solved,
before leaving Gullford jail, to
make a desperate attempt to escape
while en route. That be abandoned
the idea is dne to the fact that be was
so" securely manacled and bound by
Deputy Sheriff John Weatberly, upon
whom the duty devolved of conveying
the prisoner to the penitentiary. After
reaching the state prison, Frazier con-fessed
to Mr. Weatherly that he bad
resolv ed to make a desperate effort to
escape until be found himself bound
hard and fust.
Tbe prisoner was carried away from
Greensboro ou a night train and every
precaution of safety was taken by the
officers. A rumor bad reached Greens-boro
to tbe effect that a portion of the
colored population about Gibsonville
was so incensed over tbe failure of tbe
law to execute Frazier tbat an effort
might be made to take tbe prisoner
from tbe train at that place aud wreak
summary vengeance upon him. Of
course the officers paid little •attention
to the rumor, but nevertheless It was
considered wise to be prepared for any-thing
that might happen.
When Deputy Sheriff Weatberly in-formed
Frazier of the rumor, the pris-oner
replied to this effect. "If you'll
just give me one of your guus, we'll
kill the first negro that
tries to enter tbe car." From the pris-oner's
language, it is evident that tbe
religion he professed on tbe eve of
what was supposed to have been his
execution failed to "take."

Highways Need Repairing;.
Recently tbe PATRIOT has beard
complaints from many good citizens of
the county over the fact tbat no pro-vision
is made for keeping Guilford'a
macadamized roads in repair. The
rains and freezes have damaged ths
roads badly, and there is a general de-sire
on the part of the people living
along tbe improved highways that the
county officials take Immediate steps
to repair the damage. Tbe Tabernacle
road, one of tbe best constructed high-ways
in tbe county, is said to be wash-ing
badly.
Tbe county commissioners will prob-ably
take some action looking to tbe
organization of a force to keep up re-pairs
ou tbe roads.
Mr. Justice a Prababie Candidate
Mr. C. H. Ireland, of tbe Odell Hard-ware
Company, has written a «om-munication
to tbe Charlotte Observer
strongly endorsing Mr. E. J. Justice
for tbe Democratic nomination for
attorney-geueral of North Carolina. In
reply to tbe direct question as to
whether or not he would be a candi-date
for tbe nomination, Mr. Justice
informed the PATRIOT that he had not
arrived at any definite conclusion, but
Intimated tbat he was giving the mat-ter
serious consideration. A great
many people believe Mr. Justice will
stand for the nomination.
