convicts on our roads in Guilford—

What section will be first to avail
themselves of *.his plan? Ten bands
with a crusher will keep it running.
—A negro went into McCauley's
barroom Saturday afternoon to 'cele-brate"
the advent of Christmas, and,
quite naturally got into a row. Not

At this juncture a policeman stepped
in and escorted him to Sheriff Gwmer's
"bearding house." where be will be
cared for until the next term of court.
— W. J. H. Jones, a negro who has
been employed as porter at the dry
goods establishment of D. Beodheim
A Sons, was arrested and locked up
Saturday morning for stealing. It
seems that Jones has been stealing dry
goods, notions, etc., from the store for
some time, giving them to his sweet-heart.
At a hearing before the mayor
he plead guilty and was bound over to
court.
—The North Carolina Association of
Academies will hold its annual meet-ing

law of Col. J. S. Carr, of Durham,
and is one of the state's best known ed-ucators.
—Our merchants enjoyed a bountiful
holiday trade, but a majority of them
will doubtless have time for the next
few days to get their business In shape
for the coming year. Mr. John J.
Pheenlx, who advertises liberally in
the PATRIOT, tells us that his Christ-mas
trade was the best be has ever en-joyed.
This is most natural, for his
business is steadily increasing, and be-ing
in new and commodious quarters
he was better able to handle it this
year.
—W. G. Randall, the noted young
North Carolina artist, has rented a
studio at the Normal aud Industrial
College, where he will spend the win-ter.
Greensboro is glad to have this
gifted young artist spend a while in
her borders. Mr. Randall's work has
attracted a good deal of attention, and
his popularity is growing. He has re-cently
received an order for a full
length portrait of Dr. J. L. M. Curry
for the Peabody Normal College at
Nashville, Tenn.
Homicide ia Rockingham.
Late Saturday afternoon Will Saua-ders,
a blockader, waa sbot aod killed
in Rockingham by a neighbor, W. M.
King, who ia a deputy Coited State*
marshal. Some days ago revenue offi-cers
from (ireensboro visited Saundars'
distillery, destroying the still and aeia-ing
what whiskey he had on hand.
Suspecting King of having informed
on him, Saunders went to see him in
regard to the matter Saturday after-noon,
taking his shotgun with him.
Naturally the two men became en-gaged
in a quarrel. It appears that
Saunders was using his gun as a club,
wben King took a pistol from his
pocket and shot the blockader two or
three times, the balls taking effect in
the breast and resulting in instant
death.
Mr. King was arrested by the sheriff
of Rockingham county, who brought
the prisoner to Greensboro Sunday on
a writ of habeas corpus. The case was
heard before Judge W. p. Bynum Sun-day
afternoon aod King admitted to
bail in the sum of f.'tOO, which he gave,
when he was discharged from custody.
Mr. King is a deputy of lotted State*
Marshal Milikan, and was only dis-charging
his duty In notifying the
officers of the existence of Saunders'
blockade distillery. When his case i*
tried the jury will doubtless render a
verdict of justifiable homicide.

to many of the older citiaens of (iuil-ford
county,died recently at Manning,
S. C. He was a brother of the late Dr.
James A. McLean and was born at the
old McLean homestead, near McLeans-ville.
Major McLean was a successful
teacher, having conducted various
schools in this county previous to the
Civil war. At one time he was en-gaged
in teaching in Greensboro.
\ About twenty-five years ago he moved
| to the eastern section of the state, and
later went to South Carolina. He was
a gallant Confederate soldier, having
: been a major in one of the North Caro-
1 lina regiments.
— Policeman Jeffreys did a clever
piece of work in capturing a thief
! Friday night. A negro by the name
of Will Thomas had stolen a wattb and
secreted it, expecting to take it away
after a few days, when the incident
should be forgotten. I'or some reason
Thomas was suspected, and Mr. Jef-freys
decided to keep a "weather eye"
on him. After seeing him stop at a
certain place a few times the policeman
mad'- a search and found the watch.
Soon after the negro came along anil
searched vigilantly lor the supposed
hidden watch, when the officer took
him in tow. And thus the festive
coon's Christmas was spoiled by his
being confined in jail to answer the
charge of lar.-eny at the next term of
court.
