Wilson, manager of ue Clegg Commission Co. for some time past, has resigned to accept a travel-ing position with one of the most prominent commission houses of New York City. He will cover Florida as a solicitor and buyer, incidentally do-ing some buying for the Clegg Com-pany. Mr. Wilson has been engaged in the commission business for sev-eral years and is competent to take care of the interests of his new em-ployers. The new public school building on the Battle Ground road, just beyond the waterworks station, is nearing completion and will be ready for oc-cupancy by the first Monday in Octo-ber when the school is to open.

The Bat-tle Ground school will open on the same day. with Miss Lemma Gibbs. of Reidsville, ns principal. Ellhu Stewart, who is to appear in Guilford Superior court next week and answer the charge of retailing, was brought from Roxboro Monday and committed to Jail. He was bound over by Mayor Davidson, of Gibson-ville, under a bond of $100> but later the bond was reduced to $50 by the clerk of the court and the defendant returned to his former home in Rox-boro. Mayor Davidson did not like this proceeding and caused Stewart tc be arrested and brought back to Gresnsboro. Miss Annie Sherwood was para-lyzed while at the supper table at her home on West Gaston street Monday evening and has been in a critical condition since that time. Her enpre right side is affected and she is'un-able to talk. Miss Sherwood has been In poor health for several years, but returned Monday from a visit to the family of Mr. R. D. Thomas feel-ing much better. She was contem-plating a visit to the family of her brother, Mr. M. S. Sherwood, who re-cently moved to Tennessee. Evidence has dereloped tending to show that Will Turner, the negro prisoner who was shot and killed while attempting to escape from Capt. Tyson's convict camp near WILL MEET TOMORROW. Commissioners to Make Investigation ' at Request of Mr. King. Tho county commissioners will meet tomorrow for an investigation of the official conduct of Mr. John L King, chairman of the Guilford county highway commission, who is Pl7aMii7n."J "d"""* ^"2 ne»r I alleged to have violated the law in or^h« JL^22 late on the aftern«J0t *>uia« material for the construction ?'-."-.". ,ns> wa8_ murdered, and of a new road. The investigation will be made upon the urgent request of Mr. King, who f • the fact that T. F. Coble, the guard who did thd shooting, has disappeared lends color to the belief. The au-thorities are endeavoring to locate the missing guard and the county commissioners have offered a reward of $200 for his capture. Upon returning to the camp Coble reported the affair to Capt. Tyson, who, upon the guard's statement, did not deem an Investigation necessary. During the night Coble disappeared from the camp and later Capt. Tyson was given a different version of the shooting by Mr. John M. McCulloch. who witnessed the affair. Mr. ..icCulloch was at work in a field near the place where the con-vict was killed and witnessed the en-tire affair. It appears tha* Turner was fired upon by Coble as he was entering a cornfield, the shot bring-ing the negro to the ground. Partial-ly rising and turning toward the guard, he is alleged to have exclaim-ed: "Don't shoot; I'll come back." It is said the negro then started in the direction of the camp and had gone about twenty steps when the guard fired again, the second load kill-ing the convict. Mr. J. A. Davidson, chairman of the board of county commissioners; Mr. John N. Wilson, county attorney, and Sheriff Jones visited the camp Friday and made an official investi-gation of the affair. The testimony of Mr. McCulloch was sustained by several other persons, the only dif-ference of opinion being as to the number of shots that were fired. The body of Turner, which had been buried at the county home, was taken up by the dead man's father and carried to his home in the coun-try near Durham and interred again. Owing to conflicting stories regarding the killing of the convict, it was deemed advisable to hold an inquest, and accordingly Coroner Wood and Dr. J. P. Turner went to Durham Friday for that purpose. Accom-panied by the coroner and the sher-iff of Durham county, they visited the grave and exhumed the body. It was iviosd that the nesro had been shot in the back, the bulk of the load entering the upper part of his neck Just to the left of the right ear, scat-tering shots entering other parts of the body. There were no signs of other violence. A report from Durham says the father of, the dead convict will sue Guilford icounty . for damages, but there is 'a question as to whether such an action can be maintained. It is presumed, however, at least that a bill for expenses will be presented to the board of county commission-ers. The missing guard, for whose ar-rest the commissioners have offered the reward of $200, is about 21 years old and a native of Greene township. He had been employed as a convict guard for some time and had been discharged on one occasion for per-mitting a convict to escape. states that he and the other members of the highway commission will afford every facility for a thorough examination into the, entire transaction. It appears that the county actually saved money through the transaction complained of, though this would have no bearing on the question ns to whether a law has been violated or not. Mr. King, it will be remem-bered, sold a quantity of slag and other material that was used In the construction of a road north of the city, making the trade at the solici-tation of the superintendent of the construction force and the other mem-bers of the highway commission, who insisted that the county could thereby save a snug sum of money. The transaction has been the subject of more or less talk. The law bearing on the matter is found In section 3572 of the Revisal, and is as follows: "If any person, appointed or elect-ed a commissioner or director to dis-charge any trust wherein the state or any county, city or town may be in any manner interested, shall be-come an undertaker, or make any contract for his own benefit, under such authority, or be in any manner concerned or interested in making such contract, or in the profits there-of, either privately or openly, singly or jointly with another, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor." ] Creating a Rsum j | Is not difficult ones you start ! i to save money systematically. • But If you ever expect to be I independent financially through ' your nvn aff«-»„ «.. > RURAL TELEPHONE LINE3. Growing Popularity of the Service in Guilford County. The rural telephone idea Is steadily gaining in popularity in Guilford coun ty. Several months ago Dr. C. S. Gll-mer and other public-spirited citizens promoted a line running out from Greensboro through Gilmer, Jefferson and Clay townships and connecting in the city with the Southern Bell system. The line now has 70 sub-scribers and is regarded by those whe use the service as practically indU-reiisable. The line built by Maj. Jo. Hardie and two or three neighbors in Mon-roe and Madison townships proved so popular that arrangements were made for an exchange before the line was completed. The exchange was located] at Brown Summit, and through It a number of people in that section enjoy the privilege of a good tele-phone service. A tew weeks ago the county com-missioners granted a franchise for a line to run out from Greensboro by way of Guilford Battle Ground and Summerfleld to the Rocklnham line, and the work of construction Mil beein as soon as the material is received. This will open another im-portant section of the county to tele-phonic communication and doubtleess the line will be well patronized. A contract has been signed for the construction of a line from this city to Groometown. and the indications are that an exchange will be estab-hsned in that community in the near future. The subscribers on these rural lines have free connection with the Southern Bell's local service in Greensboro and have the same ac-cess to the long distance (or toll) service as Is enjoyed by the city sub-scribers. Home Savings Bank Made Big Gains in Deposits. The Home Savings Bank, of Greens-boro, N. C., has made remarkable gains in deposits during the past year. Between June 23, 1909, and September 1, 1809, the date of the last statement to the corporation com-mission, this bank made a gain of 44 per cent In deposits and for the eleven months and eight days ending September 1, 1909, the increase in deposits was from $27,905.28 to $52,- 029.09, or a gain of 86 per cent., which Is a most remarkable showing and speaks volumes for the bank. The policy of this bank is the same as that adopted by the old school ex-clusive savings banks which have stood the test many years and in the panic of 1907 stood the test without New School Buildings Located. a jar Tne peopie 0f this section A meeting of the county board of I have been studying the safety of education was held Saturday to select banks and have found out that the locations for new school buildings In safety of the Home Savings Bank Is Greene and Jefferson townships.

But Little Interest Being Shown in the Proposition. Considering the importance of the question involved, very little interest is being manifested in the proposi-tion looking to the removal of the county court house and the jail to the Keeley Institute property. Especially is this lack of interest apparent among the country people. The farm-ers have refused to become excited over the matter, evidently being will-ing to rely upon the wisdom and Judgment of the members of the board of county commissioners to do what is best for the public interest. In Greensboro there is some opposi-tion to the suggested removal. The matter will come up for action at the meeting of the board of coun-ty commissioners on the first Mon-day in December, and between now and that time it Is probable that the question will be discussed in all its phases. The news of the removal proposi-tion was given in an article on the first page of last week's Patriot. ■. P. WHARTON. President. J. W. SCOTT. Vice President. a. O. VADGiiN, Cashier. P.

A half-page advertisement In this issue of the Patriot calls attention to the Central Carolina fair to be held In this city October 12-15. The man-agement is planning for the biggest and best fair in the history of the association and every indication points to a most successful meeting. The fair will bee thoroughly adver-tised and the attendance is expected to break all previous records. Secretary Daniel announces that he has closed a contract with Young Sousa's Montana Cowboy band to dis-pense music at the fair grounds. This band has been highly recommended by the management of different fairs and Mr. Daniel considers himself very fortunate in securing this attraction. A contract has also been closed with the Frees, Clarence and Gen-nette team of acralists and acrobats to give a free performance each day of the fair. This team will perform on the platform In front of the grand-stand and will do a number of acts. Many people delude themselves by saying "It will wear away," when they notice symptoms of kidney and bladder trouble. This is a mistake. Take Foley*s Kidi>ey Pills, and stop the drain on the vitality. They cure backache, rheumatism, kidney and bladder trouble, and make every trac of pain, weakness, and urinary trouble j disappear. Howard Gardner. selection of a site in Greene town-ship has caused considerable discus-sion by the residents of the section to be served by the school, and the board considered the matter fully be-fore making a final selection.

the fact that T. F. Coble, the guard
who did thd shooting, has disappeared
lends color to the belief. The au-thorities
are endeavoring to locate
the missing guard and the county
commissioners have offered a reward
of $200 for his capture.
Upon returning to the camp Coble
reported the affair to Capt. Tyson,
who, upon the guard's statement, did
not deem an Investigation necessary.
During the night Coble disappeared
from the camp and later Capt. Tyson
was given a different version of the
shooting by Mr. John M. McCulloch.
who witnessed the affair.
Mr. ..icCulloch was at work in a
field near the place where the con-vict
was killed and witnessed the en-tire
affair. It appears tha* Turner
was fired upon by Coble as he was
entering a cornfield, the shot bring-ing
the negro to the ground. Partial-ly
rising and turning toward the
guard, he is alleged to have exclaim-ed:
"Don't shoot; I'll come back."
It is said the negro then started in
the direction of the camp and had
gone about twenty steps when the
guard fired again, the second load kill-ing
the convict.
Mr. J. A. Davidson, chairman of
the board of county commissioners;
Mr. John N. Wilson, county attorney,
and Sheriff Jones visited the camp
Friday and made an official investi-gation
of the affair. The testimony
of Mr. McCulloch was sustained by
several other persons, the only dif-ference
of opinion being as to the
number of shots that were fired.
The body of Turner, which had
been buried at the county home, was
taken up by the dead man's father
and carried to his home in the coun-try
near Durham and interred again.
Owing to conflicting stories regarding
the killing of the convict, it was
deemed advisable to hold an inquest,
and accordingly Coroner Wood and
Dr. J. P. Turner went to Durham
Friday for that purpose. Accom-panied
by the coroner and the sher-iff
of Durham county, they visited
the grave and exhumed the body. It
was iviosd that the nesro had been
shot in the back, the bulk of the load
entering the upper part of his neck
Just to the left of the right ear, scat-tering
shots entering other parts of
the body. There were no signs of
other violence.
A report from Durham says the
father of, the dead convict will sue
Guilford icounty . for damages, but
there is 'a question as to whether
such an action can be maintained. It
is presumed, however, at least that
a bill for expenses will be presented
to the board of county commission-ers.
The missing guard, for whose ar-rest
the commissioners have offered
the reward of $200, is about 21 years
old and a native of Greene township.
He had been employed as a convict
guard for some time and had been
discharged on one occasion for per-mitting
a convict to escape.
states that he and
the other members of the highway
commission will afford every facility
for a thorough examination into the,
entire transaction.
It appears that the county actually
saved money through the transaction
complained of, though this would
have no bearing on the question ns
to whether a law has been violated
or not. Mr. King, it will be remem-bered,
sold a quantity of slag and
other material that was used In the
construction of a road north of the
city, making the trade at the solici-tation
of the superintendent of the
construction force and the other mem-bers
of the highway commission, who
insisted that the county could thereby
save a snug sum of money. The
transaction has been the subject of
more or less talk.
The law bearing on the matter is
found In section 3572 of the Revisal,
and is as follows:
"If any person, appointed or elect-ed
a commissioner or director to dis-charge
any trust wherein the state
or any county, city or town may be
in any manner interested, shall be-come
an undertaker, or make any
contract for his own benefit, under
such authority, or be in any manner
concerned or interested in making
such contract, or in the profits there-of,
either privately or openly, singly
or jointly with another, he shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor."

RURAL TELEPHONE LINE3.
Growing Popularity of the Service in
Guilford County.
The rural telephone idea Is steadily
gaining in popularity in Guilford coun
ty. Several months ago Dr. C. S. Gll-mer
and other public-spirited citizens
promoted a line running out from
Greensboro through Gilmer, Jefferson
and Clay townships and connecting
in the city with the Southern Bell
system. The line now has 70 sub-scribers
and is regarded by those whe
use the service as practically indU-reiisable.
The line built by Maj. Jo. Hardie
and two or three neighbors in Mon-roe
and Madison townships proved
so popular that arrangements were
made for an exchange before the line
was completed. The exchange was
located] at Brown Summit, and through
It a number of people in that section
enjoy the privilege of a good tele-phone
service.
A tew weeks ago the county com-missioners
granted a franchise for a
line to run out from Greensboro by
way of Guilford Battle Ground and
Summerfleld to the Rocklnham
line, and the work of construction
Mil beein as soon as the material is
received. This will open another im-portant
section of the county to tele-phonic
communication and doubtleess
the line will be well patronized.
A contract has been signed for the
construction of a line from this city
to Groometown. and the indications
are that an exchange will be estab-hsned
in that community in the near
future.
The subscribers on these rural
lines have free connection with the
Southern Bell's local service in
Greensboro and have the same ac-cess
to the long distance (or toll)
service as Is enjoyed by the city sub-scribers.
Home Savings Bank Made Big Gains
in Deposits.
The Home Savings Bank, of Greens-boro,
N. C., has made remarkable
gains in deposits during the past

deposits was from $27,905.28 to $52,-

which Is a most remarkable showing
and speaks volumes for the bank.
The policy of this bank is the same

THE COURT HOUSE REMOVAL.
But Little Interest Being Shown in
the Proposition.
Considering the importance of the
question involved, very little interest
is being manifested in the proposi-tion
looking to the removal of the
county court house and the jail to the
Keeley Institute property. Especially
is this lack of interest apparent
among the country people. The farm-ers
have refused to become excited
over the matter, evidently being will-ing
to rely upon the wisdom and
Judgment of the members of the
board of county commissioners to do
what is best for the public interest.
In Greensboro there is some opposi-tion
to the suggested removal.
The matter will come up for action
at the meeting of the board of coun-ty
commissioners on the first Mon-day
in December, and between now
and that time it Is probable that the
question will be discussed in all its
phases.
The news of the removal proposi-tion
was given in an article on the

The fair will bee thoroughly adver-tised
and the attendance is expected
to break all previous records.
Secretary Daniel announces that he
has closed a contract with Young
Sousa's Montana Cowboy band to dis-pense
music at the fair grounds. This
band has been highly recommended
by the management of different fairs
and Mr. Daniel considers himself very
fortunate in securing this attraction.
A contract has also been closed
with the Frees, Clarence and Gen-nette
team of acralists and acrobats
to give a free performance each day
of the fair. This team will perform
on the platform In front of the grand-stand
and will do a number of acts.
