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 it COLORED MAN DROWNED.

A heavy rain that proceeded the game caused it to be delayed until o'clock to start, and then it had to be played on a very wet ground. Darden, for Greenville, pitched a fine game with wet balls, allowing only four singles and one two-base hits, but had no support of the team.

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.

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. A SPOUT RIGHT. On illy Fingers And Hells On Will Bryant, the colored chauffeur of Mr. H. A.

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.

C, June the principally interested in killing reciprocity arc Wall street whose consist chiefly of lumber and paper trust div- was reveled in testimony en by the senate finance committee. It was shown that Allen Graham, alleged attorneys for the National Grange, are really professional lob- for the big tariff trusts. Their argument, when seeking business, is that they can pull the necessary wires in. Washington to defeat or bring about the passage of any legislation they may be assigned upon. Mr. Allen was made to admit under cross-examination that the literature with which districts have recently been flooded came direct from the lobby- headquarters within a stone's throw of Wall street. Mr. Allen also admitted that the American Lumber Manufacturers association, the Pulp and Print Paper association and the American Wool Manufacturers trust, paper trust and wool trust, are among those who pledged themselves to this holy crusade for the farmers. Allen Graham have among their clients some of the best Wall street. The firm was shown to have represented as lobbyists the Security Company, and the Standard Oil Company, the latter of which organizations is ahead of John D. Rockefeller, whose occupation as a big oil is beyond controversy. 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.

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.

TAKES ft TRIP TO THE A THAT BINDS. Takes in a Enjoys of City. Hanrahan, N. C, June 1911. About May 15th, 1.893, l boarded the train at Kinston, went to Goldsboro, had about an hour to lie over there in a very uncomfortable waiting room So rather than spend the time in that and dingy looking room I strolled across the railroad to the other side of the street, feeling sure I would not get lost If I did not get out of sight of that old dilapidated building which stood right in the heart of the city. While across there stumbled into a book store, and looking around saw a beautifully bound of Moore's poems. I was sentimental in those days, so I bought it and as it was drawing near to train time, sauntered back, watching the beautiful ladies as they came and went. Again reaching that same old waiting room I purchased a ticket to Soon the train for Raleigh pulled out and I got a comfortable seat, and opened my new book at So from there to the historic old town of had what deemed then a least of good things. By the time I reached the sight of those three little near Hillsboro, expect I felt like could say as charming words as did that disguised prince. So wrote a little note and placed it in the front part of the book and care- fully wrapped the volume up. On reaching the station a little to one side of the town, saw several men standing there, all strangers to me, but I noticed one especially who had a more look and not that of an stepped towards him and as I approached, he said, and extended his hand.

You will please accept this, my most frequented volume, and believe me that many cf those sentiments arc mine with ref- to you, only they are more beautifully expressed than I can ever hope to speak through tongue or pen. Hoping to see your bewitching eyes, golden tresses and stern next Friday, f am, sincerely, flee it to say that I did not read any more books written by human hand, but looked and tried to drink deep from the great book of nature that greeted me every where. Asheville reached, we were met at 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 Pure water from the fountain me thinks Is nectar such as the gods used for drinks, When the people as a beverage, this elixir will use; Health to the nations not refuse. So when it came out in print, be- hold these lines were marked with quotations, then I thought, well, that was about the only real original thing I did get off, and now the publishers make me quote that. As I said they gave us the freedom 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 free as water. A few turned their glasses down, or instead took ice tea. Many of our men, who of all men should have clear heads, I am sorry to say, drank until they dozed and fell from their chairs, but be it said to the credit of this body of leaders, for the next year they adopted a resolution to exclude wines from their annual banquets. And to- day the lights of this pro- are proclaiming to the world that there are no medical properties or nutriment in alcohol, it is only a dangerous and that there are many others that will answer a better purpose. I said I heard a few speeches. I was too busy beholding the beauties to listen. I stood on the banks of the French Broad and thought of the inspiration she had given so many pens. But my time came to an end, and I must wend my way home again. be MEXICO CITY ATTACKED BY MOB AND ELKS FOLDERS HAS BEACHED Presidential Campaign For General in Progress. By Wire to The Reflector.

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.

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, and is altogether the best thing Con- cord has yet Chronicle. Why can't Greenville have a trolley- less car system like Concord 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 last fall at per bushel may now be purchased in Waynesville for 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. We are ready to offer the assertion that not one of the Americans who recently left the United States for Canada went from North Caro- and Pitt county especially. When a man gets down this way in the spot of the he an- It is too good to leave. A Conn., man was sen- to jail for one year and fined for placing his arms around a woman on the street. No for us, when hugging comes as high as that. How about it, Cowan They are talking it all over North Carolina that Pitt county's new court house will be the handsomest in the state. If any one doubts the claim, he only has to come and Bee. Virginia is keeping pace with North Carolina in a senatorial race. There are also four candidates in that state. Those subscribers who fail to pay, even when statements are sent them, must think that paper is on the free list. Some who grumble at hearing a preacher talk over half on hour, ought to have been in congress and heard speak four days. Wonder if J. Morgan tried to corner anything when he was in the court of St. James. 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- until October. 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- board of the Pitt County Fair Association, and others interested in holding a county fair next fall, will meet here to make further arrange- for the fair. There should be a large attendance. The fair is go- to be a big thing, and everybody wants to get interested in it. When your gets dull you sharpen it with a grind-stone. When your business gets dull you should sharpen it with The Reflector has ad- vantages for bringing your business to the attention of the public. The paper is read by the people the man wants to reach. The State Good Roads Association will meet in next week, 13th and 14th, and every county in the state should be represented. Senator R. R. Cotten, of Pitt, is a member of the executive committee and will be present, and this county should have some other delegates to go along with him. Pitt was well represented in the meeting at Wrights- ville last year. 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- of the land. We believe that the cunning will now look for his own safety, rather than seek to oppress his competitor. Greenville proudly has in her midst at this time a few hundred teachers taking the summer course for teach- at E. C. T. T. School. The teachers importance and ties are second to none. We are for- in having this body of teach- with us, and we welcome them in our midst, and hope for them a most pleasant and beneficial sum- mer in Greenville. There arc dealers in Greenville who, contrary to the law, are selling cigarettes to boys. Already some people are taking note of these violations with a view of presenting them to the grand jury if not stopped. The thing for the dealers to do is to stop it before trouble comes Woman dresses as she pleases, wearing much or little as suits her fancy.

A case was recently tried in Jackson county, the demand set out by the plaintiff being suffering from cold feet in an heated car. And the plaintiff got the verdict. It was said in the press dispatches week before last that was going to resign last week to stop further investigation. But he is yet holding on, and will likely continue to hold on until he is prized off. They will be apt to oust him this time. There is not a doubt that Mr. J. B. James, one of the candidates for mayor in the recent primary, made many friends by withdrawing rather than force the holding of a second primary. No doubt the people will keep him in mind and have something in store for him some of these days. Showing the progress in good roads building throughout the country, Di- rector Page, of the government pub- roads bureau, says a million a day for good roads is the rec- that will be established in the United States soon. Indications now point to one-cent letter postage as being one of the certainties of the not far distant The postal department having reached a self-supporting basis, for the first time in thirty years, makes the cheaper letter postage possible. Some declare the decision a victory for the government, and others that it is a victory for the American To- Company.

Nearly a year now since Green- ville got in the eligible class for free mail delivery, but no free delivery has been established, and will not be until the town gets in proper for it.

There is nothing short in any way about Wrightsville Beach. No, Which- ard, not even the bathing skirts. Wilmington Dispatch. Glad you told us that. But how about the cash So many trying to get admission into the Training school and being denied for lack of accommodations, again brings out Greenville's need of a modern hotel. The government report on the cot- ton crop must be based on from sections having a much more favorable prospect, than North Carolina. The Greensboro News wants to know are you making out with those new year Guess they have almost struck midway by now. The way they run themselves to death in automobile races and fly themselves to death in makes business for the undertakers. Nicaragua Mexico both had a for president, and both grow tired of him. It does you good to hear the folks talk about the Pitt county fair to be held next fall. One germ that nobody fights against is the base hall fever. They all catch it, and don't care they do. o--------- While talk heirs pave the way for enterprises, some work is also if they are to be secured. Our neighbor town. Washington, is moving to get the school for feeble- minded that is to established by the state. Now the hustle is on for the offices that the aldermen will have at their disposal. They say if you kill one fly two more conies hi its place. Then be in a hurry to kill the other two. Charlotte is going to have another shy-scraper office building twelve high. Mr. Bryan is getting several bumps in Washington, but it hi hard to down him. The government seems to like the postal savings depositories so well that it is establishing more of them. It is hard to make the people be- it, but the fly is a very danger- animal. Every citizen cf the town ought to be interested in the town having a good administration.

HE GETS BACK TO THERE SEES AN IDEAL WOMAN. 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 above the earth. Se would not hesitate at any time to get to a fallen woman if by so doing she could lift her up. If she would not hesitate to lay hold of a drunken sot and pull him out of the gutter, if by so doing she could hope to alleviate his suffering or help him to a better life. But every one, be he dude with sparkling with flippant words and a contracted upper extremity of the spinal cord, or be he polished with ever so enticing words, when in her presence he well knew that only thus far can I go and no further. This is a real woman, one that lives moves and does things, and not one created in my shallow mind. Several of our F. know her well, and a number of best people have heard her laugh and seen her broad Here the curtain falls. r- AND ELKS FOLDERS Home.

I spend so much money for different medicines, and for doctors also. seemed to help her. So I saw tho Tablets the paper, and I got a box and tried them. She could get some sleep by taking them. She would be up all night and cough. So in all she took six boxes, and never was bothered any more. I will leave this for any one to in- quire at our old residence, where w lived in Chicago.

Fine Construction. A Department of Public Roads was created In West Virginia in 1909 The first work of the commissioner was to hold public meetings in order to inform the people concerning the alma of the department and to arouse inn-rest in its work. It was also to prepare standards for maps, plans, contracts and specifications; also to aid the county road engineers in their work and proving the standard of maintenance, 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.

It is intended be- tween November 1st and 15th to have at Greenville an exhibition of all cultural cotton, co, peas, peanuts, potatoes, chickens, turkeys and such other fowls as are raised in this county, hogs, cows and other farm animals.

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. T. B. PARKER. Director Corn Clubs TO MRS. W. R. SEE J. R. G.

On May 1911, about half-past eleven o'clock a. m., of heart failure. the spirit of Mrs. Florence Home took its flight for the better world. 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. INTEREST IN LEAGUE IX WARM WEATHER Good Sunday Afternoon and Splendid Talks.

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.

As Bank Examiner ed into the books, he began to find en- tiles that needed explanation. Of this he asked Braxton Hussy, the assist- ant cashier, who, after being plied with questions, broke down and stated that the stealing had been going on for seven years and that he was glad it was all over, that he knew the crash would come and he was glad that the suspense was over. Solicitor apprised of this confession, swore out a warrant for Mr. Hussey and had him bound over to court. There are all kinds of speculations about the extent of the shortage.

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.

Mr. Lewis has worked out a s torn of based on methods, from which a package, for instance, can be sent miles for cents, while the now charge cents a for like distances; from Maine, to San Francisco, will c cents for live pounds, and for pounds, as against the company charges of cents a 7.50.
