NORMAL STUDENTS ENTERTAIN.
Delightful Program Rendered Friday
Evening: In Honor of Legislative
Committee.
The students of the State Normal
and Industrial College gave an enter-tainment
in honor of the visiting joint
legislative committee Friday evening
that was thoroughly enjoyable in every
particular and reflected much credit on
the student body, planned as it was
and executed by the five or six hun-dred
young ladles of the college.
The committee, which reached here
Thursday evening, was composed of
Senator Scales, of Guilford, chairman;
Senators Bragaw of Beaufort, Long of
Iredell, Pearson of Burke, McCulloch
of Bladen and Boddie of Franklin;
Representatives Graham of Lincoln,
Seutelle of Wake, Warren of Jones,
Mallard of Franklin, Ehringhaus of
Pasquotauk, Hawes of Pender, Wil-liams
of Duplin, Gordon of Guilford,
Plants of Yadkin and Feimster of Ca-tawba.
Friday morning the visitors
made a thorough inspection of the
buildings and grounds of the institu-tion,
ending with a visit to the college
chapel, where the students were as-sembled.
Brief addresses were made
by the visiting legislators and it was
quite evident from their remarks that
they were more than favorably im-pressed
with the work of the college.
Iu the evening at N.30 the chapel
was filled to overflowing with an ex-
| pectant throng that gathered to see
land hear what the students had in
store for their guests. Only four days,
or rather the spare time of four days,
i had been available for preparation, yet
everything moved as smoothly as if
: weeks had been devoted to the rehear-sals.
Not an hour of the school period
\ had been utilized. The entertainment
bore the stamp of originality through-oat,
and in the course of the evening
! every student of thecollege appeared on
' the stage, being classified by congress-
! ional districts. The industries or promi-nent
features of each district were por-
! trayed by the students in a manner
I that elicited the heartiest applause,

meets at New Orleans in a few days.
Mr. J. E. Haywood, of Red Springs,
is preparing to open a drug store here

liege, but not counting this number
there are 472 students in thecollege,
is making a total of 548 students from all
the ten congressional districts.
At the close of the regular program
President Mclver made a few br'ef re-marks
concerning the Institution, its
accomplishments, its aims and its pos-sibilities.
He declared that it could be
made the leadiug college for womeu iu
the world, because it combines both
normal and industrial features. He
also read interesting educational sta-tistics
of the state and the South, not
only showing that North Carolina is
making exceptional progress along
that line, but suggesting various ways
whereby ouradvaucementcan be made
more rapid and effective.
At the conclusion of Dr. Mclver's
speech, Mr. A. M. Scales, Guilford's
able member of the state senate, arose
and said that he felt tbe committee
should thank the president and stu-dents
of the college for the entertain-ment,
but as he was from Greensboro
he felt that some of the other members
should make the speeches. He then
introduced Senator Bragaw, of Wash-ington,
who paid a most glowing trib-ute
to the young women and thanked
them most graciously for the entertain-ment.
He was followed by Senator
Pearson, of Morganton, who made a
very witty and entertaining address.
Representative Sentelle, ofWake coun-ty,
made a very interesting speech,
contrasting the educational conditions
of the past with those of today. All of
these speeches were exceedingly Inter-esting
and highly enjoyed by the large
audience.
Tbe exercises in the chapel closed

which the audience was dismissed. A

KILLED WHILE RESISTING ARREST.
An Unknown negro Shot by Policeman
Donnell—The Officer's Close Call.
An unknown negro perhaps thirty-five
years old was shot and instantly
killed by police officer Henry B. Don-nell
Monday about noon while resist-ing
arrest for a burglary committed the
night previous. Sunday night tbe
Southside Hardware Company's store
was robbed of two guns, a Winchester
rifle and a heavy shotgun, the thief
breaking a large heavy plate glass
window at the front with a brick to get
within reach of them. The next morn-ing
word reached the police that a ne-gro
Jiad been offering to sell two new
guns for a dollar a piece at some of the
mill settlements north of town, and
Officers Pearce and Donnell set out to
look for him. They were both mount-ed,
but had covered their uniforms
with long overcoats. Several people
told the officers that the man bad just
passed through that section and tbey
were close on his trail wheu they sepa-rated,
Mr. Pearce going out tbe Battle
Ground road some distance and Mr.
Donnell turning off to tbe left in tbe
direction of tbe Benbow or old Nance
mill. As be neared the mill Officer
Donnell saw the man he wanted walk-ing
along the opposite side of the
race, carrying a shotgun. He went
on to the mill yard without acenst-iug
the man, as there was no bridge
elsewhere that he could cross. The
negro stopped a short distance from the
mill and seemed in doubt about which
way to turn wheu the officer called to
him to come up. He did so rather re-luctantlyaud
had just reached the spot
when the officer started to dismount.
In dismounting the officer exposed
some of the brass buttons on his uni-form
and with au oath the negro level-ed
the shotgun at his head and tired.
Fortunately Mr. Dounell was near
enough to strike the gun with his arm
and deflect the charge, otherwise he
>»* -.d have undoubtedly been Instant-ly
killed. Notwithstanding the disad-vantage
which he was under the officer
drew his pistol and shot four or live
times at the negro, who iu the mean-time
lired the other'barrel of the guu
without harmful results. Three bullets
from the officer's weapon pierced the
body of the negro and he fell dead al-most
instantly. Mr. Douuell went to
a telephone nearby and called up Chief
Scott, Sheriff Jordan and Coroner Tur-ner,
and they hastened to the scene.
A coroner's jury was impaneled and
the evidence of the only eye-witness,
Mr. Ragsdale, the miller,corroborating
Mr. Donnell's statement, the officer
was promptly absolved of blame, it
being clearly shown that he acted iu
self defense. Later on the body of the
negro was brought to the city hall
where it was viewed by scores of white
and black people alike, but no one
could identify the mail or tell anything
of hia history. He was a man of pow-erful
physique and wore good clothes
beneath his outer clothing, but there
was nothing on his person which would
lead to his ideutity. The only papers
he had were two cards bearlug the ad-vertisement
of a pawnbroker iu Wil-mington.
Del. On the backs of these
there was illegible writing but no
names. Yesterday morning the body
was buried iu the potter's Held. The
stolen guns were both recovered, the
rifle being found yesterday in the pos-session
of a telephone lineman who was
working on the line being strung be-tween
Greensboro and Danville, the
force being at work near thecity limits.
He had purchased tbe gun of tbe ne-gro
for a small sum, but willingly gave
it up when he found it had been stolen.
GREEHSBORO TOBACCO MARKET.
MARKET REPORT.
The receipts on our market for the
past week have been the largest for the
new year and we are glad to say that
prices are the best we have had since
November. All grades of tobacco have
steadily advanced throughout the en-tire
week and everybody that- is offer-ing
tobacco for sale on our market now
is highly pleased with their prices.
The quality of the tobacco still con-tinues
poor and we do not And but a
few good fillers and wrappers in this
crop; in fact, we find no wrappers ex-cept
common to medium ones which,
of course, bring good prices whenever
they are offered for sale, but we find so
few of them that it is a little rare to see
a pile of wrappers. Taking it on a
whole our market is in the healthiest
condition it has been this year and
prices are fully as good as we expect
tbem to be any time during tbe present
crop, and we would advise our friends
to put their tobacco on the market at
their earliest convenience, as we would
not be at all surprised to see prices
lower before the season is over.

Cbange in Management of Sboe Factory.
The PATRIOT was informed yester-day
of au important change in the
management of the Johuson-Watson
shoe factory whereby Mr. A. A. John-son,
who has been prominently identi-fied
with the concern since its estab-lishment,
is succeeded by Messrs. EL P.
Whartou, J. M. Hendrix and J. M.
Heudrix & Co., who have acquired his
interest. Under the new administra-tion
Mr. C. 8. Watson will probably
act as tbe secretary and treasurer and
general manager of the company, a po-sition
he is well qualified to fill. Men-tion
was recently made of the inteu-tion
of the company to double the ca-pacity
of tbe plant and the installation
of the Goodyear welt system. That
plan will be carried out and perhaps
enlarged upon. The company will sell
a limited amount of preferred stock
bearing eight percent, and non-taxable.

Judge Shaw made good headway on
the criminal docket last week, hearing
a large number of the jail cases and
some of the others where defendants
were under bond. The only case of
more than passing interest was that of
Julius Coble, who was convicted of
house breaking and sentenced to fifteen
years on the county roads. Over
twenty-five defendants were sent to the
roads, most of them for short terms.
On the docket yet are the cases of
Johnson Stroud, colored, indicted for
murder, and G. A. Summers, charged
witb embezzlement. Tbe Summers
case bat been continued through two
or three previous terms, but is set for
hearing today. The defendant claims
that all the money represented in
the transaction from which the suit
sprung was his by rights. He urged a
hearing last term but did not get it.
