Offic als Baffled
While en rdute on a flat car be¬
tween Greenvi le and Tarboro, N. C.,
early Saturday; morning, the ticket
wagon of the Fflrepaugh & Sells Broth¬
ers’ circus wasi entered and robbed of
$30,000. [
The entranceleto the wagon was ef¬
fected by the up of the regular keys,
which had bc-enrstolen from the treas¬
urer of the cirJus. The robbery was
not discovered uintil after the entire
circus, which w|^s traveling in three
sections over ti|e Atlantic Coast Line,
had reached Ta|boro.
The ticket wagon was on the second
sectiop and arrived at Tarboro at 1
o'clock Saturday morning. The first
section reached there a half hour ear¬
lier and the third at 3 o’clock in the
morning.
It was 5 o'clock before the robbery
had been discovered, and from that
time on until late Saturday night,
when the last report was received at
Norfolk, a search of the people con¬
nected with the circus was in prog¬
ress. The police are holding a man
and a woman, both performers, on sus¬
picion of having committed the rob¬
bery.
Several theories are held by the po¬
lice and circus people. One of these Is
that the robbery.was committed while
the train was in motion and that the
money was thrown off the train.
Searching parties were sent out
along the line between Tarboro and
Greenville in an effort to find any trace
of the money or of any person who
might have left the train with it.
Another theory Is that the cash has
been hidden in Ta:boro by the rob¬
bers, and innu/' * ’e search warrants
W*9’ -ueeu vg4r,>. tutm *wu»
,
these, the regular police and special
detectives searched every place in Tar¬
boro thought likely to conceal the
money.
There were a score of arrests made
during the day among the circus peo¬
ple. All apprehended were taken into
custody on suspicion and while in the
town lockup their belongings were
searched at the show' grounds.
Absolutely no trace of the money
has been found.
FUTURE POLICY OUILWED BY WATSON.
Sage of Thomson Says He Will Begin Vigor
ous Campaign for Populism at Once.
j Between 250 and 300 people from
; McDuffie, Columbia, Warren and
neighboring Georgia counties heard
j Hon. Thomas E. Watson Saturday £t
! Thomson in a speech of nearly two
| hours’ length in which lie outlined
his policy and the policy of the Peo
pie’s Party for the next four years,
Mr. Watson declared that he pro
| pose:! to actively campaign in the in
tercst of the People’s Party for the
next four years and that those who
had abused him would learn that ! t
is a light to the finish. He declared
i that they would stand for the income
tax. the initiative and referendum, the
government ownership of railroad
and telegraph lines and for the re¬
forms advocated by the party in the
recent national campaign.
Mew Orleans Welcomes Taft.
Secretary of War Taft and party
reached New Orleans Saturday. They
were received by a committee of prom¬
inent citizens, members of the gover¬
nor’s staff and a military detail of reg¬
ulars and members of the state guard.
REMOVAL CAUSES DETERIORATION.
No Danger of South Africa Becoming a
Competitor in Cotton Industry.
Some South African cotton was on
exhibition at the Savannah cotton ex¬
change Friday. The staple is pro¬
nounced inferior by local experts,
though the cotton was grown from
seed of sea island cotton sent from
Savannah.
The experts think Africa will never
become a rival of Savannah in the
culture of sea island cotton, since
just one crop shows such great de¬
terioration. Next year the crop would
not be even so good as this %
