Mr.
As the time is drawing near for
the nominating convention, I will
ask yon to permit me to nominate
through your columns Sam White
for treasurer of Pitt county.
He was a candidate before the
last democratic convention and
came within a very small fraction
of a vote receiving the
then. He was and is eminent-
qualified for the position. Since
that convention his ability to man-
age business especially finance
has become still more manifest to
people, and at the coming
there ought not to be any
difference between democrats as to
the nominee for treasurer. Lei us
nominate Sam White by .
Mr. J. B. Cherry has de-
c-fined to and it seems to me
that the man who was close a
to the man who has been
treasurer of Pitt county so long,
should now receive the unanimous
vote of the democratic convention.

administrator bring no suit against
the railroad and that Capt. Bur-
roughs promise that the wife and
four be provided for.
The request was made on the train
as e dying was being

a tear in his Capt. Burroughs

Without any purpose whatever to
reflect upon the present board of
aldermen or any previous board we
propose to give some reasons why
the tax payers of Greenville should
exercise more care in the selection
of a board than they have ever done
before.
Heretofore the taxes have been
light and the duties of the board
simple and few. Now we are enter-
upon a system of improvements
which require the closest and best
management. It is true
these improvements are under the
immediate control of the board of
improvements but it is also
true that the work can be greatly
hindered or helped by the board of
aldermen. The board of internal
must rely in many
for help the board of
-aldermen as the work progresses.
The police power and protection
must be furnished by the board of
aldermen.
Then too it is folly for the board
of Aldermen to engage in street

A tire broke out in New York
city on last Friday and a stable full
of line horses was one of the build-
partly damaged Before the
horses were all removed a wall fell
in and blocked the runway leading
into the stable. Two good horses
were in the basement, Nellie, a
fleet roadster, and Molly, a big
truck horse. At five o'clock on
Monday morning a patrolman de
gingerly into the basement
to see how the water which had
been feet deep was receding
when he heard the whinnying of
horse, and going on down through
eighteen inches of water was
ed lo find Nellie alive and frisky. He
procured fresh water and oats, and
arrangements were set on foot to
release her In the afternoon an-
other patrolman explored
and found Molly alive, and she was
carefully chopped out, and a special
runway leading through a big win-
was built to get them out.

significance of the alleged plan to
officer the Chinese army with Amer-
is indeed far-reaching, as show-
tint China is to awaken to her
opportunities of becoming a power
in the far East, as did Japan. The

as long the latter do right they

It was intended that the

weakness for him to concern himself
about the domination of an inferior
race so long as he does his duty.
