At the afternoon session the mat- | .
ter of the will of Miss Ducie Baker,
a student at one time of Gu-lfoid
College, who later became a physi-cian
and practiced successfully in
Birmingham, Ala., was taken up. She
had accumulated considerable prop-erty
and bequeathed approximately
$17,noo to the North Carolina YeariJi
Meeting. The income derived from
this money is to be used at Guil ord
College and in the mission work.
Endorsements were g.ven Dav.d E.
Sampson and his wife to make a vis.t
to London and Dublin mee-ings for
religious servive.
The report of Gu'lfo.d College,
submitted by President Hob^s. show-ed
gratifying progress. The endow-ment
fund has reached $175,000. It
is, of course, small, compared with
that of similar institutions in the
state, but there is a prospect of an
increase this year. It is hoped to
raise it to $500,000.
A remarkable statement in connec-tion
with the college was made when
i' was stated that not since 1837 had
a teacher died while a teacher in
either the old New Garden boarding
school or the more recent Guilford
College.
The minutes or general epistle
from the Yearly Meeting to the sub-ordinate
mee ings and congregations
urged better effort the coming year
in evangelistic work, Bible school
work, prohibition work, peace work
and in all other departments of
work, and especially in missionary
work.

Train Ran into Au omeb |e.
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Patterson,
their two children and the nurse,
had a thrilling escape from death
about s o'clock T.esday morning,
when their au oin:>l> le was struck

thus avoided what would have been
a horrible accident. The engine of
the train smashed one of the front
wheels of the automobile, but the
machine was not turned over. The
occupants escaped with a severe
fright. Mrs. Patterson, the children
and the nurse were brought back to
Greensboro by the train and an au-tomobile

Aberdeen, Aug. 12.—Enraged, it is
said, because the white man refused
*o lend him money, Jim Cameron,
negro, shot and killed Archie Blue,
a prominentt mill man, near Keyser
yesterday shortly before noon. Mr.
Blue died at 1 o'clock, before medi-cal
aid could reach him.
Following the shooting the negro

scoured the country last night and
two other bodies of men searched
all day. I* is reported that Cameron
was seen in Keyser shortly before
day this morning and »hat he asked
a negro woman if Mr. Blue was
dead.
Two hundred dollars is offered for
the capture of the slayer of Mr.
Blue.
