NEGRO NEAR ASHLEIGH
House of Mns. S. J, Clary Struck During
Saturday’s Storm.
During the thunderstorm that passed
over this section Saturday afternoon
the residence of Mrs. S. J. Clary on
Brown’s Hill was struck by lightning
and badly damaged. The bolt struck
and demolished the kitchen flue, tore
off a part of the weatherboarding of the
house and knocked out a post on the
front porch. The family were sitting
on the back porch at the time and while
they were more or less stunned by the
shock, no one was seriously injured.
Coroner’s Jury Brought in a Verdict of
Justifiable Homicide.
In a shooting affair that, it is said,
grew out of a former difficulty between
the two principals, John Washington,
a negro, was shot to death Sunday
afternoon near Ashleigh by Leonard
Milejs, a white man. According to in
formation received here, a party of
eight negroes* were in two buggies
hunting for Mr. Miles with the inten
tion, it is alleged, of killing him. Miles,
in company with a Mr. Still, drove up
suddenly on the negroes and immedi
ately opened fire, using a shot gun.
One shot t*ok effect in Washington’s
head, causing death, the other negroes
quickly scattering.
Sheriff Morris was notified and, go
ing to the scene of the homicide, ar
rested UUes and Still. At the coro
ner’s inquest Monday morning the jury
brought in a verdict that the negro was
shot in self-defense. Bail in the amount
of 11,000 each was granted by Judge
Rice Monday afternoon.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MET
A Few Correction* Made in the Club
Book* Friday.
In answer to a call sent out by County

which have to be certified to and filed
with the Clerk of Court, and a few
minor corrections made. The names
of all negroes who had not enrolled in
accordance with the rules of the party
were stricken from the lists.
It was ordered that committees- be
appointed in each precinct to report
all violations of Jthe.law in regard to

“THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH,
YIELDING PUCE TO NEW."
King Arthur sadly realized this truth when in passing
away, he gave utterance to the above thought. So H is
in all kinds of busineas, banking included: the old way if
not adapted to modern progress must give place to newer
methods. Keeping money at home, subject to loss by
theft and fire, has for the most part passed away in Barn
well County by reason of modern facilities in banking.
MONEY IN BANK, CHBCK BOOK IN POCKET
is the new order now prlhticed by all who are really
progressive.
First, select the bank wisely, and if the acid test of capi
tal stock protection is used, you will choose this bank.
Then ask for the check book which we furnish without
cost to you. We want your business and heartily invfte
you to maintain business relations with us.

The following clipping from Sunday’s

of “Robbie” McNab, who has made
good in his chosen calling:
The press party was particularly in
