DIAMOND RING
BELONGED TO J. S.
Girl Arrested But King Has Not Keen
Recovered.
On Saturday Mrs. J. S. Tunstall
missed a handsome diamond ring,
valued at about from a jewel
case on the bureau in her room. Sus-
at once rested upon a colored
girl, Caroline who worked
about the house and had been sent
to the room the day before.
An officer was notified, and the
girl, learning that she was suspected,
left town. She was arrested
day night about four miles in the
country and was brought to the lock-
up. She confessed taking the ring,
but could not, or at least did not,
make a true statement of what had
been done with it. Several different
statements were made as to where
she had hid the ring, but a search at
these places failed to disclose it.
The girl is only about years
of age, and it is probable she turned
the ring over to some older person
who advised her to tell stories about

Ballot Each In

Second.
Meetings were held in all of the
wards of the town, on Friday night,
to nominate one candidate for alder-
man in each ward. All of the meet-
were well attended and much in-
was shown in selecting the
nominees. The board of aldermen
is composed of eight members, the
first and third wards each having one,
and the second, third and fourth
wards two each. Three of the men
elected each time hold for two years,
so that each year all five of the wards
hold an election to choose one
in each. By this arrangement if
no member should be re-elected the
board would not make an entire
change in any year, three of the old
members always holding over. While
three changes are made in the
nations this time, all of them have
served as aldermen in previous years.

POOH TOBACCO OUTLOOK.
Sonic Are Substituting Other
Crops.
It is true all over Pitt county, and
reports from other tobacco growing
counties are to the same effect, that
the outlook for a tobacco crop this
season is very poor. The continued
dry weather rendered it almost
possible to set out plants and get a
good stand, and much that was set
out died in the fields. In not a few
instances farmers nave plowed up
their tobacco patches and are plant-
the land in some other crop. Some
are setting out tobacco now where
plants can be obtained. It is not too
late to make a crop if subsequent
seasons arc favorable.

Good News for Catarrh Sufferers.
So many hundreds of catarrh viol
who have taken the
treatment, have written thanking us
for publishing our method of taking
the vapor treatment in con-
with the inhaler that we glad-
publish it again.
The vapor treatment is especially
recommended in stubborn cases of
chronic catarrh of long standing, but
remember that the inhaler should be
used daily as usual.
This treatment only takes five min-
time going to bed. Pour
a teaspoonful of into a
bowl of boiling water, cover head and
bowl with towel and breathe for
minutes the vapor that arises.
You will be surprised at the result
of this treatment; it makes the head
feel fine and clear; you will sleep bet-
and that stuffed up feeling will
gradually disappear.
This method will break up the worst
cold in the head in one night.

Presidents Who Were Masons
A few days ago the press dispatches
announced that President Taft, wear-
the Masonic apron, had posed for
a photographer in Washington, so
that his picture may be hung beside
that of George Washington in a Ma-
sonic lodge in Virginia. This incident
caused the Boston Globe to inquire
what other presidents of the United
States have been Masons, and it is as-
that Jefferson, Jackson,
Polk, Buchanan, Johnson, Garfield,
and Roosevelt were Masons,
but there is some doubt as to whether
Jefferson was a member of the order.
George Washington was the master
Of a Virginia lodge and subsequently
became the head of the order in this
country. Gen Jackson was a grand
master in Tennessee, was a
Knight and both Roosevelt
and Taft were raised to the Master
Mason's degree after their election to
the presidency.
It is understood that President Fill-
more was also a Mason, but as in the
ease of Jefferson,, there is some doubt
about it, because the absence of rec-
going back into the early days
makes it difficult to say whether he
was or not. In the time of Washing-
ton, however, Benjamin Franklin, La-
Benjamin Harrison the elder,
John Hancock, Joseph Warren and
many other men who figured
in the American revolution be-
longed to the fraternity. It is the
proud boast of the Masons of
that Paul Revere, after the
revolution became the grand master
of their Orleans States.

argument, when seeking business, is

Mr. Allen was made to admit under

throw of Wall street. Mr. Allen also
admitted that the American Lumber

those who pledged themselves to
this holy crusade for the

have represented as lobbyists the

Commission Aptly
It is known now why Senator Aid-
rich calls his lame duck commission
a commission. It is be-
cause it spends so much money.
The monetary commission, accord-
to a treasury report, has expend-
ed of the people's money
on European travel, meetings at
summer resorts, on manuscripts
book translations, monographs and
salaries. The report also
contains various insinuating entries
that read clerical force and
persons in attendance on
The European trip cost
It was a nice summer trip and any-
body who has traveled with a Cook
party will tell you that a select little
party of a half dozen can make a
mighty fine circuit of the continent
for The account is not
itemized beyond this statement. In-
deed, Senator Aldrich has fixed it so
the commission may spend any
amount of money it desires without
consulting anyone, and without
a detailed report to anyone. The
former senator is not hampered by
any formalities whatever. He has
only to reach into the treasury, get
money and sign a receipt. It is
palling to contemplate what would
happen to the treasury if all
and departments of the govern-
were permitted to employ
ply loose business methods while
spending the people's money.
However, a fresh air fund to pro-
mote the recuperation of lame ducks,
the commission is manifestly a big
success. To this end witness the
meeting of the commission at
Pier in July, 1909. It takes
monetary backing to go to
in July. The bill was
493.741
And Senator Cummins, of Iowa, is
sufficiently inconsistent of the health
of the lame ducks to contend that
the commission is absolutely useless
to the people, and that it ought to he
abolished.
Cut Out of Bag.
Soon after President Taft entered
the White House a movement was
started by members of congress to
bring about an investigation of the
sugar trust. It was not a
movement. Senator of Idaho.
Republican, introduced a sugar in-
resolution in the senate,
and Campbell, of Kansas, introduced
a similar one In the house. The
dent was greatly displeased. Ho sent
a message to congress advising
against an investigation on the
ground that it might give Immunity
to the men higher-up and otherwise
embarrass the government. The mes-
sage was based on an opinion of
United States Attorney General Wick-
Who was inspiring Washing-
ton dispatches at the time with the
impression that he was about to
prosecute the men higher-up for the
sugar underweight frauds.
Now, comes the attorney general
with the statement, made under oath
before a house investigating commit-
tee, that he never believed that the
heads of the sugar trust could be
successfully prosecuted for the under-
weight frauds. He also says that
they would not have secured
from prosecution had they
In other words, the reasons
en by both the president and the at-
general as to why the sugar
trust should not be investigated
a Republican house, are now ad-
to have been fictitious.
The real reason as to why the
Republicans were unwilling to per-
a congressional investigation of
the sugar trust now becomes
able. Was it because the attorney
general had been a former sugar
trust attorney and was prejudiced in
favor of the of the men
higher up Was it because Henry
P. Taft, the brother of the president,
was a sugar trust attorney Or was
it because the sugar trust has always
been a friend ally of the
party, and one of its star cam-
contributors
Running Down A Clue.

the state department, where it cost

OF THE NEWSPAPER.
Hot Its Aim to Supplant Pulpit or
Rod School.
To be sure, many changes might be
made in newspapers if newspapers
were to be reformed with a view to
making them purely educative and
regenerative in their effect. It is not,
it must be admitted, the aim of the
press to supplant the pulpit, rob the
Sabbath school of its function, remove
the need the high school and devote
itself wholly to spiritual and
preaching and teaching. What the
effect of a newspaper made to
the ideals of persons who view the
press of the times with alarm because
it publishes a dangerous comic sup-
can be best judged by the
wide circulation of worldly dailies
and the narrow scope of the
of those that, most nearly
those ideals. Circulation is
not the sole consideration, but with-
out it no educative or missionary work
can be done. The most useful news-
paper is one whose general effect is
improving, and not one so virtuous
and piggish that those standing in
need of mental or spiritual tonic will
have none of it. It is as the layman
friendly to the projects of the school,
the university and the pulpit, and not
as a militant parson, that the press
may be useful. The newspaper must
be human or unread. To be widely
read it must make a broad appeal.
It is Horace, we believe, who asserts
that it is right to unbend upon fitting
occasions. And there is a well known
Couplet about nonsense being
relished by the best of men
The comic supplement may not be
absolutely necessary to the welfare
of newspapers, but that it is inimical
to the welfare of any class of news-
paper readers, has not been con-
argued, and it gives enjoy-
to many lovers of humor.

Fighting Reciprocity.
The senate is attempting to kill
the reciprocity bill by so amending
it that it will not acceptable to
Canada. Senator Root, of New York
is preparing an amendment in the
interest of the paper trust. It will
be recalled that when reciprocity
was before the senate at the last
session Senator Root was one of those
who were boisterous in their pro-
tests that amendment was
and impossible. That was
less than five months now
Mr. Root, reversing himself, declares
the agreement must be amended so
as to benefit the paper interests.
His opposition is only a part of a
systematic campaign being waged
against reciprocity.

looking around saw a beautifully

I bought it and as it was drawing

the depot, and driven four in hand
to Battery Park and given the free-
of the city. We listened to a
few learned papers and heard a few
great speeches, and even attempted
myself to read a paper which was
published and, of course,
was eager to read it when it came from
the press. I was agitating the great
importance of pure drinking water as
a preventative for diseases, and said
among other

of the city, they dined us, they ban-
us, and oh, in such splendor
as some deem splendor. The courses
were by the dozen, the champagne

their glasses down, or instead took

GREENVILLE MIST GO AFTER
TRADE.
The Reflector can remember when
three mercantile firms did
the business of Greenville, and
their trade covered not only Pitt
county, but extended into the neigh-
boring counties. There were no other
towns of consequences nearer than
twenty-five miles, therefore Green-
ville drew trade from a large
and without making special
fort to get it. Things are not that
way now. Greenville not only has
more than half a hundred merchants
to divide the trade that comes here,
but the springing up of good towns
all around in the county, as well as
numerous country stores have greatly
circumscribed the territory from
which trade can be drawn. These
new towns have enterprising
men, too, and they are working
to draw business their way, just as
they have the right to do if they get
business.
Greenville cannot do business on
its past prestige alone, nor can it
get trade without making the effort
for it, as was the case a quarter of a
century ago when there was no com-
petition to speak of. Just because
It is the oldest and largest town in
the county is not going to bring
sought trade here. The newer towns
have young blood in them, and the
business men go after business in
the way that gets it. Take Farm-
ville, for example. A look at The
Enterprise published there shows the
advertisements of more Farmville
merchants than the two Greenville
papers combined show of Greenville
merchants.
This is an age when people read
and observe things. There is not a
home of any consequence in the
county in newspapers do not
go, the people read these papers,
see what the business men have to
say, and their trade is influenced ac-
Greenville certainly owes
it to herself not to let the smaller
towns outstrip her In the race for
trade. If our business men make no
effort to bring trade, they are not go-
to get as much as they would
otherwise.
Of course somebody is going to
say that this article is written to
induce more merchants to advertise,
but every word of it is true, think
about it what they may. It is notice-
able that the Greenville merchants
who are the best advertisers get the
best trade.
LET'S GET TOGETHER.
When we look over our business
enterprises in Greenville, we find
much to excite our pride. Our town
has about every modern public
ice necessary for convenience. Her
progress in this line during the past
eight years has been gratifying, even
wonderful. She has as good railroad
facilities as any town in the state,
she has school advantages which few
cities in the state can boast of. She
has a body of as conservative and sub-
business men as can be found
in any town much larger than ours.
Her banks are strong and prosperous,
and a back country surrounding her
which can not be surpassed. Yet
she is not making the material
which we feel that she is cap-
able of making. Can we not, as a
community, get together and increase
our material progress We know
we can do so. We can get together
and cause the erection of a hotel that
will meet the demands of the public.
The means and the men are here. We
can create a fertilizer factory that
can supply the fertilizer the
We can pull together and have
general supply or mercantile stores
that can draw trade and supply it for
several miles about the town that
should come to Greenville, and
that is now going elsewhere. Men,
let get together and do these
things, which tend to advance Green-
material progress.
GET KID OF THE DOGS.
Away with the dogs The summer
season has now conic. Putrid meat
and decaying food stuffs arc danger-
abundant and in reach of the
dogs. Either is a dangerous element,
but together the dog is alarmingly
more dangerous. Putrid meats are
eaten by the dogs, they become sick
and though they arc ordinarily kind
when sick, are irritable and more apt
to bite persons. Then, too, hydro-
phobia is not infrequent at this sea-
son, all of which is
against the dogs being permit-
among us and allowed to run at
large at will. The town is full of
dogs, and if there is one good reason
for having them it is not apparent.
Those who are inclined to humor
their fancy by keeping a dog, should
lay aside that fancy for the greater
safety of human beings,
the children of the community. Get
rid of your them away,
kill them, or anything to get them
out of the community. Your dog is
a source of danger to you, to your
family and your neighbors. Get rid
of the dogs; they are dangerous and
a needless expense.
THE FIRST WARD.
The first ward folks of Greenville
are feeling themselves. That ward
used to be looked upon as an almost
part of the town, but
not so now. To bring about a
of their rights in matters mu-
the first don't mind
talking right out and telling what
they have. And better still, their
claim is well founded. Just listen at
these things that are located in the
first ward, and we may not even tell
it Handsomest court house and
jail in North Carolina, site for the
government building which will soon
be erected, municipal light and water
plant, four churches, two cemeteries,
two two-story office buildings and one
hotel. Among the citizens of that
ward are the mayor, two ex-sheriffs,
two ex-superintendents of health,
three doctors, and richest man
in Now if any of you fellows
have been disposed to speak lightly
of the first ward, just speak easy
hereafter.
In Certain counties or the state
some fellows are working the people
on rights for a tire-
setter, drill, stump-
puller, The mode of operation
is so similar to a machine
which once struck Pitt county,
that we think it only needs mention-
to put people on their guard if
the fellows mentioned
above should come down this way.
Concord's car is doing a
fine business. Its lowest record per
day is passengers. Its highest is
1,600. It makes a fast and regular
schedule between depot and factory,

We believe it would be a paying in-
vestment here, too.
Even up n the western part of the
state, where they grow apples sure
enough, it looks like the people would
avoid being caught like the
ville Enterprise tells on them. That
paper says which we sold

cents per Some apples re-
sold in Greenville as high as
cents each.
o-
Primaries will be held in the
wards, Friday night, to
candidates for aldermen. And
let us again remind the people that
the best men to be had should be
who not only have an
interest in the town, but who are
possessed of good business ability.
Properly administering the affairs of
a town the size of Greenville is no
small matter.
President Taft is reported as say-
he did not expect to find the
presidency a bed of roses. We ex-
not, William, especially with so
many insurgents to contend with.
Yet, withal, it is a soft job that--a
man does not want to give up when
he is once on to it.
An Oregon lawyer died the other
day at the age of years. His special
distinction was being the best
lawyer in the country. He had
himself married twelve times and had
been divorced eleven times. Getting
married and unmarried so often was
enough to kill him.

that not one of the Americans
who recently left the United States

Wonder if J. Morgan tried

If they don't find out that Pitt is
the best county in the world, it is
not going to be our fault.
Again let us remind you to
the best men possible for alder-
men. ,
We bet some of them are glad the
United States Supreme court has ad-

A good plan is to start ahead of
the game and stay ahead. Time flies
fast, and it will not be long before
fall business is here. The business
man whoso name is most familiar to
the buyers is the one who will get
the best trade. The tiring to do is
start an advertising campaign ahead
so the buyers will know who you
are, where you are, and what you
have to offer them. Go in with a de-
termination to convince them that
there is no store like your store.
North Carolina had a distinguished
visitor this week in Governor Wood-
row Wilson, of New Jersey, who is
being prominently mentioned as the
next Democratic for
dent. He spoke at the University
commencement in Chapel Hill, and
from there went to Raleigh, where he
spoke Wednesday night. Governor
Wilson already had many friends in
North Carolina, and the number has
been largely increased by his visit
to the state.
The fellow who buys blind tiger
liquor had better mind what they do
hereafter. The Federal court has
ruled that the purchaser of such
liquor is equally as guilty of
the law as is the tiger. Now if a
fellow is caught with blind tiger
purchased liquor, he stands the same
chance of being sent to the roads as
the fellow who sold it to him.
Next Monday, June 5th, the gov-

to be a big thing, and everybody
wants to get interested in it.

One who keeps up with the doings
of congress, sees that the country
has turned its attention to the
courts of the land, seeking a
means to restrain those who are seek-
to unlawfully restrain the com-

the cunning will now look
for his own safety, rather than seek
to oppress his competitor.

Ono Who Lives, Moves And Does
Things.
Hanrahan, M. C, June was
Friday and just p. m., when the
whistle blew a long blast and the
porter called out, As
soon as the train came to a stop, I
with suit ease in hand, stepped off
and into the waiting room deposited
it. Then I took a
up a rocky street hedged on
either side by stately oaks, or I sup-
pose they wore oaks. I was not ob-
serving streets or trees very closely
then, my mind being intent on some-
thing besides.
Two blocks from the depot on the
east side of the street, stood a quaint
old house, such as only Hillsboro
has. In front was a porch with a
trellis from end to end save the door
way, and that was arched with a
hoop. The trellis and arch were
covered with roses and
sweet peat;. Just back of this stood
a woman. She was neatly dressed,
though not gaudily. She was not
beautiful, not even pretty as many
see beauty. She was about feet tall,
weight rather out of proportion
for a symmetrical or graceful form.
Her tresses were more red than
burn, large ears, prominent nose
broad mouth which when she laugh-
ed exposed a well kept set of broad
and irregular teeth, her face more
round than long with freckles not
very thinly scattered here and there,
her hands rather short and not well
tapered and not as soft and white as
the foam that floats on the ocean
wave,. She could drive the
team afield. She could mow the
grass, rake the hay and stack it, too,
if the hired help would not stay. She
gracefully mounted on her charger,
for she was graceful on horseback.
With her well trained shepherd dog
she could each day just before the
shadows were too fast falling drive
the well kept flock of sheep to their
fold. She could hurdle each named
Jersey and command that each go to
her own stall, and in perfect
they would obey. Then she
could scientifically collect and meas-
each one's food and give it in the
proper proportion to get the best re-
Se could prepare and cook a
meal fit for a lord on earth. She could
cut, fit and make her own
neat enough for a princess to wear.
Yes, she could do this and more. She
could comment on the complicated
political problems of the day. She
could discuss the needed reform
movements of that time. She could
charm you with quotation after quo-
from the best books and stand-
ard magazines. She never wasted a
precious moment reading trash. She
could quote almost verbatim a series
of sermons that she had heard Sam
Jones preach, but she never made a
dunce of herself attempting to mimic
him. No, she was not a preacher in
the sense that she took to the
and tried to make the world and the
church believe that she was a great
power by trying to mimic someone
else, but her life was a sermon more
forceful than many a pulpit oratorical
display that has the sound of great
beauty but not spirit of the lowly
Master. She did things in her own
way in the fear of God
and Him only, even doing what
conscientiously believed to be her
duty. That done the world might
think or say as it choose.
She had but little regard for that
class who for lack of better
or training only think and say
evil of those who prove a great mis-
that of trying to elevate human-
especially their own sex. She
had, indeed, the one gem that
adorns the female sex, that of true
modesty, but she was as far from that
false article called or by
some as modesty, as is the heavens

What is the home that we dream of
That poets have pictured as such
Is it the work of the builder,
Or is it the infinite touch
Is it that cot built by fancy
Whence all our desire have led
Oh, is it that which we have fashioned
With sheltering roof overhead
What is the home that we dream of
Is it merely to shelter us here
Now as I hark, through the gloaming
The answer comes sweet to me ear,
Patter of feet on the stairway,
The music of childish delights.
Soft spoken prayers through the
silence
The lisp of their whispered good-
nights.
Books, my good friends and com-
Look down upon me from their
shelves
Bach shares the home with its master,
And all loving children themselves;
Comforts far more than I merit
Surround me to cheer and bless
Lo, as an end of my musing
I sense a soft, loving caress.
What is the home that we dream of
A mansion and cot are the same
but fashion the body,
love makes the heart and the
flame
Love and the prattle of children,
The patter of feet in the hall,
Happiness, some one to share it,
And tenderness over

The first work of the commissioner
was to hold public meetings in order
to inform the people concerning the

to prepare standards for maps,

also to aid the county road engineers

at the same time reducing the cost
A meeting of the county road
was held in December, 1909, at
which more than forty counties were
represented. Previous to this it had
been decided to establish the standard
for county maps at 4.000 feet to
the inch, these to show the districts,
important towns, railroads, streams
and all public roads. In addition
standard plans arc provided for
a scale of feet to the inch
for recording surveys of public roads.
The law Of 1909 required each
county to appoint a road engineer and
so far only one county has not met
this requirement. By the end of 1910
2.154 miles of county roads had been
surveyed, miles had been meas-
and had been made of
counties.
An idea of the preliminary
work being done may be given
by the report for Fayette county. This
county has an area of square
miles and contains about miles of
public roads. roads in Fayette
are being completely overhauled, con-
of cutting the brush and
weeds, blasting out the ridges of
rock that cross the roads in so many
places opening up good side ditches
and crowning the roads well, so they
can be maintained with the road
drag. Seven miles radiating from

convicts at a cost of per miles,
and miles have been let by con-
tract at an average cost of per
mile. The remainder of the roads

ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS PRIZES
OFFERED BY THE STATE TO BOYS
In Corn Has
Entered.
Raleigh, N. C, June 1911.
Editor
At the December meeting of the
Board of Agriculture there was
for prizes to the boys
of the state who made the most corn
on an acre of ground. Rules and reg-
governing the contest were
sent to all applicants. Since then
there has been subscribed by
and fertilizers about
more, making about to be
en to the boys who in growing
corn. In many counties the number of
boys entering the contest has been
disappointing. In view of this I am
going to hold my books open through
the month of June, and will enroll
any boy of the right age who sends
in his application. There is yet a fine
opportunity for some boy who has
not entered to do so and win a prize.
There will be about worth of
prizes to each Boys Corn Club dis-
Only boys have sent in their
applications from the third district,
as Pitt, Greene,
Wayne, Lenoir, Craven,
Jones, Carteret, Onslow,
Pender,
So far Wilkes is the banner corn
club county in the state. The county
superintendent of that county, Mr.
C. C. Wright, has sent in
cations. If every county in the state
would do as well as Wilkes, we would
have more than boys in the
contest studying corn growing and
laying the foundation for better and
more profitable farming against the
day when they shall become men and
undertake the responsibilities they
will then assume. What a state,
North Carolina might be-
come in a few years, if we had
of her boys now studying how to grow
more corn and incidentally learning
the foundation for better farming
along all lines Enough county pride
should possess every progressive per-
son in the district to encourage him
to give the movement the benefit of
his or her influence. Let the fathers
and mothers of the boys in the dis-
encourage them to enter the con-
test and see how much corn they can
grow on an acre. The experience
will be worth a great deal, even though
they should not win a prize. Besides,
we hope to continue this work, and
if a boy fails to get a prize this
year he stands a better chance of
getting one next year, if he enters
the contest now, than if he waits
until 1912 to enter.
I shall be pleased to send blanks
to any boy who wishes to enter the
contest, do not write to me to
your name, but ask for a blank to
fill out, as only those who have
signed applications in my office will
be considered members the corn
club. I will send with the
blank one of our Corn
Club buttons.

was the daughter of Mr. Henry
Edwards and Fannie Edwards,
and grand daughter of Mr. Alfred
the most useful man of
ville township prior to the Civil war.
She was born May 1860, in Greene
county, N. C, near where Mr. W. A.
Darden now lives; her father died
in 1863 and her mother in Miss
Mary Edwards, who afterwards be-
came the wife of Mr. E. A.
took the poor orphan to bring up,
and she lived with them until
when she married Mr. W. R. Home
and removed to the residence in which
both spent the remainder of their
days. No children came to them to
gladden their hearts.
She became obedient to her Savior
when quite young and connected her-
self with church and remained
c. devoted member until after she
took up her residence so much nearer
Antioch Christian church, that she
thought it her duty to cast her lot
with them. Her husband's people be-
Primitive Baptists, he was
inclined that way and many
nice dinners has she provided for them
at the yearly meetings at old Tyson's
church. So many as forty have taken
dinner with them at some of these
annual gatherings. She always
pared these dinners willingly and
enjoyed serving them because it was
so wished by her husband. She was
true to attend the services of her
church and was a constant
tor to its support.
She, in the life time of her husband,
gave the first hundred dollars towards
building the new brick church in
Farmville, and had it not been for
her anxiety and persistent advocacy
of a better church house, we should
have been in the old
church now.
Having been brought up in the
family of her uncle, Mr. E. A.
his children always seemed to her as
her own brothers and sisters, and,
as was befitting, she left the major
portion of her estate to her cousin,
Mary Alice Carper. If public opinion
were better educated along certain
lines, the residue of her estate would
have gone where it would have show-
ed the most glory upon her name
and where her near relatives wish it
had been devised.
Having been left on orphan in her
infancy, she was in some respects
unfortunate in all her other
respects, she has been fortunate all
her life. She had her hours of sun-
shine and her hours of sadness and
sorrows. That which she most de-
sired she was denied, but she had
many things upon which her heart
was set. She was a kind friend, but
for those she disliked, she had no
use and took up no time with
them.
The county has lost an excellent
citizen, the family a very dear
the church a loving, consistent
member. M.

Passed Away Saturday Afternoon of
Pellagra.
At o'clock Saturday afternoon, Mr.
Elias died at the home of Mr.
R. L. Little, near where
he had lived for sometime. He had
been in poor health about a year, and
was confined to his bed for six
months.
Mr. was a deaf mute and
was horn March 6th, 1864, making
him a little more than years old
at the time of his death. In April,
1906, he married Miss Lula Spivey, of
Johnston county, also a deaf mute,
and is survived by the wife but no
children.
Mr. was a painter by trade,
and a most and upright
man. He had a host of friends, and
though unable, to converse except in
the sign language, he was always a
congenial companion. He was a
of the Baptist church at Winter-
ville and a devout Christian.
The burial took place Sunday
in Winterville cemetery, fun-
services being conducted by Rev.
M. A, Adams.
Town Election.
The town election for one alder-
man in each ward, and for a mayor
for two years, has been in progress
today. The election has proceeded
so quietly that it could hardly be
told, except about the polling places,
that an election was going on. A
nomination being equivalent to el-
the voting is all one way with-
out any opposition to the nominees,
hence no great interest is shown.

Washington, June sub-
committee on post offices and post-
roads met today and took up for con-
the Lewis bill, which pro-
for condemning and purchasing
the express companies and adding
them to the Postal system, and es-
a complete system for the

are two main reasons why
the express companies must be added
to the postal said Mr. Lewis
in his argument. the express
company service does not reach be-
the railways to the country or
the farmers, which the post office
does, through the rural free delivery,
which is waiting with empty wagons
to receive the express packages and
take them to the country stores and
the farms, and carry back to the
towns and the cities the produce of
the farms and truck gardens for the
people to eat, at living prices. Sec-
the contracts of the express
companies with the railways give
them an average transportation of
throe quarters of a cent a pound; and
with this rate the express charges
by post would be reduced from two-
thirds to one-half on parcels rang-
from pounds to pounds, and
about per cent, on heavier weights,
as a consequence of the co-ordination
of the express company plants with
the post office and rural delivery, and
the elimination of the express com-
profits, which are averaging over
per cent, on the investment.
express companies are positive
hindrances and obstacles to the
of the country. The average
charge carrying a ton of express
in Argentina is and for the
countries of Europe while the
average express Co. charge in the
States is They charge I
times as much to carry a ton of ex-
press as a ton of freight in
countries. Here the express
charge times as much. O
course, these charges simply
by half or more of the traffic of th
United States. Our average is
than one hundred pounds per
while that of the other countries i
over two hundred per capita,
we have far greater demand for I
on account of our long-1
distances and more extensive

eels post. The government
conduct it on mail railway
rates, at over four cents
pound, in competition with the ex-
press paying but
fourths of a cent a pound,
the weight of equipment in both
which enables the express
to pay over fifty per cent,
profits to themselves, although
no service whatever to
farmers and to points off the
ways.
Mr. Lewis has worked out a s
torn of based on
methods, from which a
package, for instance, can be sent
