HOW OIL KING BEGAN HlltTlNK Porter in St. Louis Store Inspired Rutckefeller to go after Wealth. Cleveland, Sept. 28 ? Following the thankful celebration of John D. Rockefeller on the fifty-sixth anniversary of getting his first and only job, comes the story of how Rockefeller was inspired to his financial career by a porter in a St. Louis store. it was at the urging of Samuel Andrews, the porter, that Rockefeller engaged in the oil refining business, investing $1,000, the whole of his fortune. Mr. Rockefeller, having recevied I an increase of pay to $25 a month at the end of the first year as bookkeeper for Hewitt & Tuttle, in Cleveland, decided that he could uot make or save much money working for others. In order to get a chance he went to St. Louis. There j in 1858 with $500 he had saved, he engaged in the commission bu- ( Alness wun Mr. uiark. an ungiisn-1 man, forming the firm of Clark & | Rockefeller. At the age of thirty he had accumulated $1,000. It was then he met Andrews, the 1 porter^- became interested in his j stories and eventually in the oil refining business on the Mississippi river above St. Louis, under the firm name of Andrews, Clark & Co. I It was not long before Mr. Uockefel-j ler began to broaden the business> personally, one of the first moves being to gain an investment of $60, ^ 000 from Henry M. Flagler. A Hotrible Crime Near Charlotte. Charlotte, N. C., Sept. 25.?Adam Sigmon, colored, cut off both hands of Will Link and his wife, Eldora, and butchered them fearfully during the midnight hours Sunday. Link and his wife are at the Good Samaritan Hospital to-day, where everything is being done in hopes that they may live. The crime is one of the most i atrocious and unwarranted that k has been recorded in Mecklenburg fc county for years. It is believed Sigmon was full of cocaine. Sunday afternoon Sigmon, who is a cousin of Eldora Link, went to her home, which is on Henry Sloan's nlaee. four miles from Charlotte, on the Beattle Ford j road. Eldora and Will asked Adam to j & spend the night. He accepted the \ invitation and they all retired early. About 1 o'clock this morn-1 ing, Eldora and Will were awaken-i ed by Adam, who stood over them > with a heavy and sharp axe. He proceeded to strike the woman, cutting an almost deadly V wound across her head. Then he knocked Will into insensibility. ' When the man and woman came j to, the hands of both had been j cl -jpiped off above the wrists. They were also cut down their 1 backs. There were deadly gashes ( above the head and the negro v had fled. At this hour he had not been captured. Lt is believed that he is crazy, as no motive for the crime is known and Lt must have been prompted by a diseased brain. jl A Romantic Marriage. |t , A marriage of much interest is reported to have occurred ait Hamlet one day this week, Mr. Wright Edwards, of Bladenboro, 71 years old, and a lady from Pennsylvania, being the contracting parties. An interesting story is told of how they came to meet and dates back to the Civil War. Report says that Mr. Edwards was captured and put in prison. A good lady residing near the prison sent her little girl daily to carry something to eat to the poor half-starved prisoners. 1 Mr. Edwards in timft was released ^.and at the colse of the war returned home. He is said to have raised a family of ten children and' sometime ago lost his wife after many years happily spent together. iNow it is said that he has taken unto himself another helpmeet in the person of the little girl who carried him lunches when in prison nearly a half century ago, the bride tiow being 55 or 56 years of age. It is said that when they reached . * Rladenboro on the night train the whole country turned out to meet them, each person, or nearly all of them carrying a big hand torch. A gentleman who was on the train that night said that he had never seen such a torch light procession a turned out at Baldenboro that night. As per agreement, it is said that the contracting parties met at Hamlet that morning ? Lumberton correspondence to the Wilming-: ; ton Star. MK J. (i. TOJjAK passes. ' Victim of Murderous Assault at ? Mclfcifttlnhl, September 2nd, Suci ^ c<tynlie<l to His Injuries Yesterday. ?Funeral This Morninir.?Brief Review of the .Assault. Mr. J. Gary Tolar, victim of the murderous assault at McDonald on tlve night of September- 2, died at the Thompson Hospital here yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. That j he lived so long was rather remark-1 able, for the blow which crushed ft his skull would have killed instantly i anyone but a man of remarkahle vitality. g The remains were taken to the home of a brother of the deceased, Mr. T. R. ToJar, on the eastern edge of town,where they rested until [ this morning at 10 o'clock, at. which EH hour the tuneral was conducted by Rev. I. P. Hedgpeth from this residence, and interment was made in Meadowbrook cemetery. North Lum1 berton. Mr. Tolar was 28 years old. He ] is survived by his wife and two little girls, Gretchen and Dorothy; five brothers: Messrs. N. S., of Lumber Bridge, S. F. and A. F., of Reamert; Brunt, of Raeford, and T. R. of Lumbertoji; and three sisters, Mesdames Maggie Bruce, of Marion. S. C.; J. A. Campion, of McColl, S. C.. and W. C. Watson of Rennert. Mr. Tolar's death was the result su.lt of one of thfc worst crimes ever committed in this county. I Readers of the Robesonian will recall that on the night of Septem-, ber 2nd, last an unknown negro en iereo inrougn a window the residence of the deceased near McDon-1 aid and struck Mr. Tolar while he lay asleep in his bed a murderous blow on the left side of the head j with a plow-bar and attempted to' 'assault his wife, who was on anoth-< er bed in the same room. Mrs. Tolar's screams frightened the intruder away and after doing what she could for her unconscious husband she went with her two children to j the home of a neighbor half a mile; away to summon assistance. Mr. i Tolar was brought to the Thomp- j son Hospital here the following day i by Dr. J. P. Brown, of Fairmont,] who reached the Tolar residence two or three hours after the assault, and! an operation was performed by Dr. Brown and Dr. N. A. Thompson, i proprietor of the hospital. The operation consisted in removing a1 piece of bone from the region of the skull just over the left ear, one inch by one and a half inches in size, and there were other extensive fractures on the side and at the base of the skull. At this operation Mr. Tolar lost two or three table spoons full of brain, the covering of the brain having been broken by the blow. From this opening the brain tissue continued to ooze for several days. A considerable amount of brain tissue and fluid was lost from first to last and this towards the last involved the motor centers on the left side of the brain, causing paralysis on the right side. The fight for life was hard from the first moment until the end came on the 25th day. Mr. loiar regained partial consciousness several times during his illness but at no time could he enter into conversation. It could be seen by the attendants, however, that he knew with whom he was trying to talk and would at times lar, were to have been given a show signs of impatience because those alxyut him could not under-! stand him. His death was quiet and easy without a struggle. Tede Lyon, James Suggs and Kd. Martin, three negroes who were arrested September 4th charged with committing the assault on Mr. Tolar, were to have been given a preliminary hearing before Justice J. A. Rowlaaid yesterday but the trial has been continued until Wednesday of next week.?Robesonian. Triumphed Over Protests. (Advertisement.) Compared to a small minority of assailants "The Clansman," Thorn-1 as Dixon's famous play, has found! millions of supporters and defend-, eis. It has been warmly endorsed by j the Governors of States wherein the Reconstruction scenes occurred and approved by the municipal authorities of New York, Chicago, Baltimore, Washington, St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha and other cities. The Police Commissioner of the District of Columbia refused to suppress the play at the protest of the negroes in the Capital city. Judge Barnes of the Superior Court of Chicago, set a precedent for other jurists when, in denying an injunction against "The Clansman," he declared the negro had no special or peculiar privileges as a race, claiming that neither white, yellow or black races could demand immunity from criticism. The negroes have no more ground to stop performances of "The Clansman" than the Jews have to suppress "The Merchant of Venice" or the Japanese "The Mikado." "The Clansman will be seen again in this city on Wednesday, October 11, at the School Auditorium. Averts Awful Tragedy. Timely advice given Mrs. C. Wllloughby, of Marengo, Wis., (R.
