GREENVILLE BEAT
THE SCORE BEING TO
Slow and Uninteresting Game From
The First Inning.
Since Greenville went to Kinston
July 4th and got beat so badly the
people here thought the game to be
played here yesterday would be hard
fought and closely drawn and the
fans turned out in full force expect-
to see something good, but the
day proved to be Greenville's and
the boys slugged the Kinston balls
all over the field, the score being
to in our favor.
Kinston took the lead in the first
inning by scoring one run, but in the
second Greenville recovered with six
to the good, making seven runs, thus
standing until the sixth, when two
more runs were added, and then to
the eighth and ninth when three
more were put on, making a total of
twelve. Heavy slugging of the Sloan
balls and some misplays put Kinston
to the bad.
Features of the game Dar-
den's running, one-hand catch, and

NORTH CAROLINA IN 1781.
Got. Letter Describing
at That Time.
An interesting letter from Abner
hash, Governor of North Carolina
and member of the constitutional con-
to Gen. Nathaniel Greene, Gran-
ville county, May 1781, brought
at auction in Philadelphia a few
ago. Nash, whose autograph
is rare, gives in the letter an account
of the deplorable condition of affairs
in his state at that trying period,
when Gen. Greene was trying to de-
feat the British forces under Lord
Cornwallis. Nash
my endeavors to raise the
even to obstruct the march of
Lord Cornwallis through this state,
proved in vain. I was myself in
their front most of the way, but able
to effect nothing. They have now
passed over Roanoke into Virginia,
where the joined enemy are greatly
an for the Marquis,
His force is not only small,
but he mentions in the letter of the
15th that he knows nothing of the
Pennsylvania troops.
Virginia militia are for the
present fresh and spirited, and I
hope they will prove of great support
to the Marquis. Our militia, especial
of the lower parts, are good for
nothing. I congratulate you, sir, on
your success against the enemy to
the southward, their being compelled
by the judicious methods you took
to abandon their strong posts in the
heart of the country.
Marquis is very public spirit-
ed and disinterested. He wishes me
to have much more at heart the re-
you than himself. Great
numbers have taken protection on
parole of Lord Cornwallis on his
march through the country, and par-
ties of robbers, commanded by
of his commissioning, rang-
through the committing
murder, robberies, and every species
of enormity. Could you permit Gen.
Summer to remain a while to assist
in punishing the guilty and in re-
covering Wilmington to this poor
distressed, and wretched
In the course of nine months Gen.
Greene recovered from the British
the three Southern states, North Car-
and South Carolina, Georgia,
and, at the close of 1781, had all of
the enemy's forces below Virginia
hemmed within the cities of Charles-
ton and Savannah.

Ayden, N. C, July 1911.
Good Morning, Mr.
Haven't been to see you for some
time. Hope you are feeling fine this
beautiful day since having such
splendid rains for the last two or
three days. By the way, we had a
gully washer the and judging
from the looks of the cloud fear our

The outlook for corn and cotton is
most auspicious. Tobacco is doing
well, but is too late and irregular for

dry as in some other sections; not-
ably, around Ayden

had any yellow leaves at the bottom
like it has in other sections mention-
ed.

it is they who have
chiefly furnished the traffic that has

but these quotations suffice for their
time. These would be a fitting per-
oration in a speech made in praise
of the farmer at some grand
rally. Young man, read and
ponder, and cast your lot with us.
All that was said above is true, but
some one will be ready to say, oh,
he wanted to tickle the farmers just
now. We are not writing in this
strain to tickle Senator Simmons for
we do not know that we shall sup-
port him in the senatorial contest,
but rather think we will not.
Hold up your head, brother farmer,
don't be ashamed of your calling nor
your clothes, either. Just pay your
honest debts, make your land pro-
duce much of everything you use on
your table as you can and your stock,
and a little to spare, and then you
will be an honor to your calling.

Horses Seared By
Thrown Out of Wagon.
This morning when Mr. E. S. Phelps
was coming down Dickinson avenue
with a wagon heavily loaded with
lumber, his horses were frightened
by an automobile near the Norfolk
Southern depot and ran away down
the avenue to the Presbyterian
church, where Mr. Phelps turned
them into Greene street. In making
the turn Mr. Phelps was thrown out,
falling under the wheels of the wag-
on, one of which ran over him. The
wheel struck him on the left hip
and passed over his body to the left
shoulder, hurting him very serious-
He held on to the reins and
stopped the horses, with the wagon
wheel on him.
He was taken to his home and Dr.
Hassell attended to his injuries, and
while finding no bones broken, ho
found that Mr. Phelps was very
injured. It will be some
lime before he recovers. He
ed several bruises and hurts on his
face and one ear was badly hurt
Mr. Phelps is seventy-two years old,
which makes his injuries so much
to get well.

GOOD ROADS
APPOINTED BY ASSOCIATION.
Ask County Commissioners At
August Meeting to Order Election
On the Fourth of July a meeting
was held for the purpose of
a good roads association for
Greenville township. The officers of
the association selected at that meet-
were authorized to appoint a
committee of twelve to be known as
a central committee in the interest
of good roads, to work in
with trustees named in the
bill passed by the last legislature rel-
to issuing bonds for building
good roads in the township.
Before making the appointment of
the campaign committee, the officers
of the good roads association invited
the trustees to confer with them and
this conference was held this morn-
in the city hall. Several of the
trustees, as well as some other
were present and there was
considerable discussion of good roads
and the best methods to obtain and
maintain them. Some argued for
taxation, some favored private
subscriptions, other were for a
bond issue as the quickest and best
method of getting good roads.
As to the campaign committee it
was decided that twelve, as first in-
tended, was too many and the
was reduced to five. Those
pointed on this committee were
Messrs. H. A. White, Major Mills,
Harvey Allen, A. A. Forbes and C.
. E. Fleming.

provided or in the bill, will ask

The Printer's Unique Distinction.
The interesting statistical fact was
recently developed that among the
1,200 or more convicts in the Virginia
penitentiary there is not among them
a printer. It seems that the editor of
a weekly newspaper recently wrote
Governor Mann, making inquiry
to
LICENSE HOLDERS.
on the subject with a view to giving
a man employment, the governor
sought Information at the penitentiary
with the result that not a printer
could be found among the felons in
striped garb.
It might be asserted that this is a
mere curious accident, inasmuch as
there have recently been preachers,
lawyers, physicians and men of every
avocation among this large criminal
class, and perhaps the condition is
unique. There is a reason, however,
why more printers are not
In the first place the trade or art is
one in which a man need rarely re-
main long unemployed. The demands
for printers is still great, even since
the invention of several typesetting
machines. The hand compositor can-
not be dispensed with yet and there
is scope for much taste and judgment
n the business of hand composition.
In the first place the printer is seldom
a loafer. If he loafs or sprees for a
time, he goes back to work again. An-
other reason for this immunity from
criminality is the fact that the printer
who has been at the business for
any length of time is usually
gent and well Informed. Not a few
men have acquired practically all the
education they have at the case. They
think as they work and read. Indeed,
no man man will become a competent
printer who does not soon begin to
understand what he reads. Generally
the ability to speak and write
and fluently comes to the man
who stands all day picking up type
and aligning them in a Life
would be a dreary monotony to him if
he did not comprehend what he is
putting in type.
Intelligence, education and employ-
are antipathetic to crime, just as
ignorance and idleness are
to it. All honor to the calling
whose thousands have no
in the felon class. May the
cation maintain its present high
and prove an example and an
inspiration to future apprentices to
maintain the ethics of the
of all the
Register.
Will Probably Resist Searching Of
Their by Police Officers
It is stated that a number of per-
sons holding United States license to
sell whiskey, or malt, will not receive
without a contest searches by police
officers, in accordance with an
adopted by the council at the
recent meeting conferring this right.
It is stated that they will not tolerate
the presence of an officer on their
premises for the purpose set forth
in the ordinance, resorting to force
if necessary to eject him from the
building. It is reported that persons
holding licenses have been advised
by their attorneys that the ordinance
cannot be enforced and that they have
a perfect right to protect their places
against inspections by police officers.
On the other hand both City Attorney
and Assistant Attorney
are of the opinion that the
city is within its right in the
as adopted. The first section
of the ordinance makes it unlawful
for persons or firms to keep for the
purpose of illegal sale intoxicating
drinks; the second section declares
such places a nuisance; the third
gives the chief of police, or any of-
the right to make an inspection
of all places holding United States
license.

such license have said openly that

driven out of business. I have been
quoted from one end of the country
to the other as being on the trail of
all the people who sell soda water, I

would give me great pleasure to
aid in putting out of business that
class of persons who
make their flavors of injurious

Until there is some
action taken on the question
there is little reason to believe that
we will ever get pure, clean soda

There is no law which compels
the druggist to put specified

put virtually anything under the sun
except the poisons which are
by law into a glass and squirt a
little foam on top, and if the mixture
is satisfying to the palate of the
credulous he will make money. Some
day I hope congress will tell us
what soda water is and what it is
not. Then we can proceed with some
prospects of success, to drive some
of the shysters out of business.

from the very first day he entered

engaged in.
For many years the government
paid a handsome rental for the use
of the Union building in Washington.
It develops now that one of the
owners of the building is a
daughter-in-law of Senator Hale,
and that Senator Hale had inserted
in the senate appropriation bill an
item which compelled the govern-
to lease the building. Senator
Hale also caused millions of dollars
of public money to be expended on a
naval shore station off the coast of
Maine, the bulk of which expenditure
was sheer waste. The principal mis-
this yard performed was to pro-
a place for Senator Hale's
henchmen. Nor was that all.
While Senator Hale was in the ex-
of almost unlimited power in
the senate as chairman of the
committee, his son, Fred-
Hale, secretly received a fee of

Appeals.

the plaintiffs in the suit of the Ware-

Connor decides the attorneys should

for the defendant and seven for the
plaintiff until a very short while be-
fore a compromise was reached. For
a while it looked like a mistrial.
The jury fees alone were over

total cost to the American Tobacco

trial was made by Parker, of
counsel for the defendant, and this
was denied. An appeal was taken to
the United States Circuit court of

certain whether it would also appeal,
asked for several hours to

and receiver.
Late this afternoon Judge Connor
allowed the counsel for the plaintiff
and he, therefore, signed a
judgment for and costs. The
plaintiff decided not to appeal and the
defendant appealed.
The judgment if sustained
by the higher courts will be paid into
the receiver's hands and disbursed by
order of the court.

announced the death of his brother,
J. G. Meadows, which occurred
Saturday night. Dr. Meadows was
a medical missionary to Wu Chow,
China. Alter several years in the
foreign field he came back this year
on a visit to his native country. From
the Southern Baptist Convention in
Jacksonville in May, he came to
Greenville to visit his brother, and
while here delivered a lecture in the
Memorial Baptist church. He was
summoned from here to Chicago by
the sickness of his wife, and was
himself taken ill there and passed
away. Much sympathy is expressed
for Prof. Meadows in his sorrow over
the death of his brother.
Dr. Meadows was thirty-four years
old and leaves a widow and five
He died of typhoid-pneumonia
after undergoing two separate ope-
rations. His home was at Haynes-
ville, La., where his parents live.

THE DOOM OF WAR.
Within the next few days the
natures of Secretary of State Knox
and the British ambassador, Hon.
James Bryce, will be affixed to the
treaty between the United States
and Great Britain, which will provide
for the arbitration of all questions
arising between the two countries, in
eluding even matters of vital import-
and national honor. The sign-
of the treaty will bring to an
end the notable negotiations begun at
the instance of President Taft and
Ambassador Bryce early this year
and will make what many believe to
be the greatest step toward
peace ever taken. Only a
few slight changes remain to be
made in the treaty, mainly in the
phraseology, to which the greatest at-
is being given with the
purpose of avoiding any ambiguity
or possible chance of
when the treaty comes to be
tested by actual recourse to its pro-
visions when an issue arises between
the two countries. It is to be a
model from which general
treaties between the United
States and other nations will be
Patriot.
This is a step in the right
and one that is hoped will lead
to universal peace. If any other one
of the great nations will join the
United States and Great Britain in
this treaty, and stick to it, the three
could exert such an influence over
other nations that war would here-
after be almost an impossibility.
peace and complete disarm-
of all nations would be as
great a blessing as could come to the
world.
STAND BY THE OFFICERS.
Greenville is fortunate in having
so and courageous an officer
as Policeman George Clark. The law
breakers fear him, for they know he
is going to catch them if the least
clue is left to work on. The pres-
of such an officer is a deterrent
to crime, and this is shown in the
scarcity of offenses of consequence
here. The purpose of this reference
to Officer Clark is not so much to
praise him, though his record de-
serves it, as it is to impress the fact
upon the citizen of the town that
they owe to him a duty. While he
goes about his duty fearing no
lie is nevertheless in danger, and
the citizens should see that he is
safeguarded. His official
acts should have the moral support,
and physical if need be, of every law-
abiding citizen, and this support
should be so strong as to impress
any law-breaker who would think of
trying to do him harm that people
would not stand for it a moment.
The way to have good officers is to
stand by them in the performance of
their duties.
HOME IS THE CHEAPEST.
Going along the streets in
more the other day, watching the
throng of shoppers and taking mental
note of how things go on in the city,
we stopped to look at the display
window of a big store filled with
articles placarded at prices.
One article noticed was
to cents, and making a com-
after getting back home we
found that a Greenville store was
selling the same article for cents.
There are two lessons that can be
learned from this comparison. One
is the ease with which goods can be
sold when advertised; the other that
in most instances you can get an
article cheaper at home than by go-
or sending away for it. People
patronize mail order houses because
those houses advertise their goods,
and the goods often cost more that
way than if bought at home. If the
home merchant was as careful to ad-
and let people know what he
has, much of the trade that goes to
mail order houses would be kept at
home.
A STEP DOWNWARD.
On Sunday the New York Herald
began the publication of a Sunday
afternoon edition, in which gave
particular attention to sporting news.
It is much to be regretted that the
larger cities of the country are drift-
more and more toward non-ob-
of the Sabbath. The
of sports and business on the
day that should be kept sacred and
holy is a tendency to moral
that will increase as the
in these things grows, and it is
deplorable that a great metropolitan
newspaper should lend its influence
to this desecration. The people
should stand out against such things.
Up in Statesville they have a col-
in whose hands the business
men place their hard accounts. If
the accounts are not paid they are ad-
in the newspapers and bill
boards and sold at auction if there
is a bidder. While this plan does
not always get the money, it serves
to let the public know who are the
dead-beats in a community and puts
others on guard to avoid being
caught by them.
o---------
Some of the cartoonists had Gov-
Kitchin a very interested spec-
peeping over the fence at the
timber tariff circular discussion be-
tween Chairman Clerk Max-
well and Senator Simmons. But the
and after trust clods
that Mr. Misenheimer and State Sen-
Lockhart have thrown at the
governor will put interest on the
other side watching him duck his
head.
o---------
After consuming four weeks of the
Federal court at Raleigh, the suit of
the Tobacco Company
against the American Tobacco Com-
for damages, came to
a conclusion Thursday. The jury
gave the a verdict for
which under the Sherman law can be
trebled, and judgment for was
entered.
The death of Dr. J. B. Carlyle, of
Wake Forest College, which occurred
a few days ago, was indeed a great
loss to the state. He was foremost
among the educators of North Caro-
a scholar of high rank and a
speaker of ability. The work that
he did in raising the endowment for
Wake Forest College will be a last-
monument to him.
It is out that the new assess-
of property give the state
a tremendous increase in taxes. If
the next legislature finds a big
plus on hand, instead of hunting up
too many ways to spend it, a lower
tax rate might help the people. High
valuation and low tax rate would be
as good an advertisement as the
state could have.
William Jennings Bryan, in his
paper, The Commoner, names Chief
Justice Walter Clark, of North Car-
as one of the possibilities; for
the presidential nomination next year.
While it is not probable Judge Clark
will get the nomination, the
might look a long time without
finding a better man.

As it was brought out in the
that the Com-
used practically the same
to extend its business as did the
American Tobacco Company, the
verdict for damages looks to be large
enough.
Next Monday, 24th, is the date for
the meeting of the board of tax equal-
for this county. Ample notice
has been given those having com-
plaints to make to be present on that
day.

him a sentence of six months.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., has a woman
police officer. She declines to carry
either a pistol or a club, declaring
that coolness is the best weapon to
subdue an obstreperous person.
No one thing is likely to cost Mr.
Simmons more votes in the primary
than the active support Republican
papers are giving him. They should
attend their own side of the fence.
Senator Simmons, in reply to the
letter of Chairman Eller, seems to be
able to take care of himself. Secretary
Maxwell also says that Chairman
Eller was faulty in his memory.
Right now following the rain is the
time the sand-clay streets need a lit-
attention. Work done properly
accomplishes much more good than
if delayed.
Those who say they favor good
roads, yet are opposed to a bond
issue to build them, should come for-
ward with a more feasible plan, if
they have one.
When the election comes you are
going to see that a majority of the
people in Greenville township favor
issuing bonds to build good roads.

That Picture.
Editor Harris, of the Charlotte
Chronicle, says of the picture of the
the meeting of the press
at Lenoir, an enterprising
of Durham
equipped with a revolving camera,
of the editors and
their wives, on the campus of Daven-
port college. The Chronicle's copy
came to hand several days ago, but
we have hesitated to imperil it by the
half tone. It would not print good
in the paper, and we are sure Colonel
Bob pose, which is the best
thing in the panel, would not show
up well. It is not very much to the
credit of the Chronicle that it didn't
wear a pleasanter look with its
mediate background of three of the
handsomest women in the party. But
then it could not see what was be-
hind it. In the foreground H. C.
Martin, who had just completed his
managerial job, appears in a delight-
refreshingly wearied attitude.
Poet Laureate Hill is looking over his
glasses in a benevolent fashion. One
not acquainted with the group might
think he recognized John Temple
Graves in it, but it is not the colonel.
It is a bigger man, if
of the Raleigh Times. Sherrill

the only man who can smile naturally
at the camera. As a representation
of congregated intellectuality, we
will put this North Carolina Press
group in competition with any that

We have one of those pictures in a
neat frame, hanging in our sanctum,
but that pose mentioned by Colonel
Harris is one of the unexplained
things about it, unless it was caused
by that revolving camera. But did

Another Stumbling Block.
During a running debate on the
tariff in the house recently Mr.
Underwood, the Democratic floor-
leader, was asked concerning the
Democratic generally in the
matter of tariff revision. He
have announced that we in-
tended to revise this tariff from top
to bottom. The only thing that will
stop us from revising it from top to
bottoms is the senators and
the Republican President. If they
stop it, we will make an appeal to
the country.
As a general proposition, this is a
correct and encouraging statement.
If the Democrats in the house will,
as they have so far done, pass the
right kind of revision bills and a Re-
publican senator and a Republican
President prevents them from
laws, the people will know where
to place the blame, nor will they
to put it where it belongs. But

Texas, and of North Caro-

thickly. Be sure to turn up a good

There are two lessons that can be

patronize mail order houses because

that Mr. Misenheimer and State Sen-
Lockhart have thrown at the
governor will put interest on the
other side watching him duck his
head.
After consuming four weeks of the
Federal court at Raleigh, the suit of
the Tobacco Company
against the American Tobacco Com-
for damages, came to
a conclusion Thursday. The jury
gave the a verdict for
which under the Sherman law can be
trebled, and judgment for was
entered.
The death of Dr. J. B. Carlyle, of
Wake Forest College, which occurred
a few days ago, was indeed a great
loss to the state. He was foremost
among the educators of North Caro-
a scholar of high rank and a
speaker of ability. The work that
he did in raising the endowment for
Wake Forest College will be a last-
monument to him.
It is out that the new assess-
of property give the state
a tremendous increase in taxes. If
the next legislature finds a big
plus on hand, instead of hunting up
too many ways to spend it, a lower
tax rate might help the people. High
valuation and low tax rate would be
as good an advertisement as the
state could have.
William Jennings Bryan, in his
paper, The Commoner, names Chief
Justice Walter Clark, of North Car-
as one of the possibilities for
the presidential nomination next year.
While it is not probable Judge Clark
will get the nomination, the
might look a long time without
finding a better man.
Governor of South Caro-
must be suffering mentally
the spell of hot weather. At any
rate it does not look like a sane man
would give expression to such utter-
as are credited to him by the
Herald.
The Misenheimer and Lockhart let-
showing Governor
record before and
after election may keep him and
Brother Claude both busy for a time,
as things in letters need
answering.
As it was brought out in the
that the Com-
used practically the same
to extend its business as did the
American Tobacco Company, the
verdict for damages looks to be large
enough.
Next Monday, 24th, is the date for
the meeting of the board of tax equal-
for this county. Ample notice
has been given those having com-
plaints to make to be present on that
day.

No one thing is likely to cost Mr.
Simmons more votes in the primary
than the active support Republican
papers are giving him. They should
attend their own side of the fence.
Senator Simmons, in reply to the
letter of Chairman Eller, seems to be
able to take care of himself. Secretary
Maxwell also says that Chairman
Eller was faulty in his memory.
Right now following the rain is the

Those who say they favor good
roads, yet are opposed to a bond
issue to build them, should come for-

they have one.
When the election comes you are
going to see that a majority of the
people in Greenville township favor
issuing bonds to build good roads.

That Picture.
Editor Harris, of the Charlotte
Chronicle, says of the picture of the
the meeting of the press
at Lenoir, an enterprising
of Durham
equipped with a revolving camera,
a of the editors and
their wives, on the campus of Daven-
port college. The Chronicle's copy
came to hand several days ago, but
we have hesitated to imperil it by the
half tone. It would not print good
in the paper, and we are sure Colonel
Bob pose, which is the best
thing in the panel, would not show
up well. It is not very much to the
credit of the Chronicle that it didn't
wear a pleasanter look with its
mediate background of three of the
handsomest women in the party. But
then it could not see what was be-
hind it. In the foreground H. C.
Martin, who had just completed his
managerial job, appears in a delight-
refreshingly wearied attitude.
Poet Laureate Hill is looking over his
glasses in a benevolent fashion. One
not acquainted with the group might
think he recognized John Temple
Graves in it, but it is not the colonel.
It is a bigger man, if

Another Stumbling Block.
During a running debate on the
wool tariff in the house recently Mr.
Underwood, the Democratic floor-
leader, was asked concerning the
Democratic position generally in the
matter of tariff revision. He
have announced that we in-
tended to revise this tariff from top
to bottom. The only thing that will
stop us from revising it from top to
bottoms is the senators and
the Republican President. If they
stop it, we will make an appeal to
the country.
As a general proposition, this is a
correct and encouraging statement.
If the Democrats in the house will,
as they have so far done, pass the
right kind of revision bills and a Re-
publican senator and a Republican
President prevents them from
laws, the people will know where
to place the blame, nor will they
to put it where it belongs. But

Texas, and of North Caro-

How uncertain is life, and what
ravages death can work in a short
while. Only a few days ago Mr.
Perkins was on our streets, the
picture of health and mingling with
his friends in his usual congenial
and happy disposition. Today his
body sleeps beneath a flower covered
mound in Cherry Hill cemetery, his
spirit having passed into the world
beyond.
A week ago Mr. Perkins was taken
sick, and almost from the beginning
his condition was serious.
day he was taken to the
hi Wilson and operated on for
but the trouble had reached
such a stage that it could not be
checked and he died a past mid-
night on Saturday night. The re-
mains were brought home on the

the grave by Rev. J- H. Shore. The
pall hearers were Messrs. M.

and Mack Hearne.
Mr. Perkins was ,, years of age
and a son of tin- Mr. J. J.
Perkins. For several years he had
been a railway mail clerk and was
among the best in the service. His
hist run was on the Norfolk South-
between Raleigh and Norfolk,
which gave him about two weeks on
duty and one week at home. He was
popular with postal officials and with
the public.
In 1906 he married Miss Virginia
of Virginia, and leaves
the wife and two small children.
He is also survived by one brother,
Dr. J. W. Perkins, and three sisters,
Mrs. R. A. Tyson, Mrs. R. C. Flan-
and Miss Annie Perkins. These
with a large number of relatives and
friends mourn his death.

CROWD AT
Visitors A View of a Water
Spout At Sea.
Wrightsville Beach, N. C, July
The many visitors at the beach
were treated to a rare concert on
Sunday last, when two special events
were rendered, which greatly pleas-
ed the large number in attendance.
As a delightful surprise to those who
gather every Sunday to listen to the
music at the Seashore, Manager Bin-
ton invited Mrs. Pearson, who is now
filling an engagement at the Grand,
and whose splendid voice is well
known in Wilmington and on the
beach, to render a solo, to which she
graciously assented. She was ac-
companied on the piano by Mrs. Harry
Linden and on the violin by Mr.
Linden. Mrs. Pearson's vocal
were a fine feature of the con-
cert, and added much to the pleas-
of those who were present.
The visitors and residents of the
beach, who were fortunate enough
to be up at that hour, witnessed a
wonderful sight on Friday morning
about seven o'clock, when only a few
miles from the coast a remarkable
phenomena was in the
form of a water spout. Differing ma-
from the average water spout
that has been observed off this coast
as it was not a perpendicular tower
of water, but it arose from the water
in an angle, leaning far to one side
near the middle. It extended from
the surface of the ocean far up into
the clouds, its crest being entirely
A short distance above
where the column arose out of the
sea it commenced to bend until at
what appeared to be the middle, it
resembled a bow. From here on up
towards the clouds, it appeared to
straighten out again, and where it
disappeared into them it was almost
in a straight line with the bottom.
Many of the have
never witnessed a water spout,
though from time to time they have
appeared off the coast, so those who
got up for an early morning dip were
particularly fortunate in being able
to witness this wonderful spectacle.
The concerts at Sunday
and evening proved to be as
popular as ever, when hundreds

SOME DAMAGE DONE BY WIND.
Another Interesting Story of The
Long Ago.
Farmville, N. C, July 1911.
Editor
The is at last broken and
at this time we are threatened with
a superabundance of water. Ono
extreme usually begets another, even
in nature.
This part of the county did not
suffer as badly as other portions
from dry weather. Our cotton, corn
and tobacco were fine and are now,
but they are somewhat damaged by
the wind which accompanied the
rain Saturday afternoon.
My boy of has a very
fine piece of late corn which the
wind did not injure. From the
of his corn now he may
be as successful as those who planted
earlier.
Intensive farming is fascinating
and sometimes profitable. It is also
risky and a course of much anxiety.
After having gone to very much
trouble and expense upon a crop to
see your prospects for a fine or
yield blighted in a mo-
is indeed tar from reassuring.

more than one-third of Farmville
township.
Only a few are curing tobacco
this week,, which is unusual, as we
are generally two-thirds done by the
third week in July.
Where were the parents of your
Hanrahan correspondent when the
clerk was binding out a nice boy,
at their very door, to such a cruel
and unfeeling man I enjoy read-
his sometimes I feel
sad.
I once heard of a town that was
kept clean by every man keeping
his own premises clean. How any
man who had ever read the parable
of the Good Samaritan could have
permitted such is a wonder to me;
unless in his opinion the Good
was a single man and there-
fore the principle did not apply in
his case, I cannot realize.
I once knew a man whose name
was Felix, who was so afflicted with
hook worms that no one wanted him
around them. So he went in the
woods a mile or so from any road
or cleared land, built him a log hut,
did not even skin the logs, covered
it with boards and had only a make
shift for a floor, no windows and a
very poor door. In this shanty he
and his sister Annie lived or existed.
In the summer time they would
berries and Annie would
beg. In the winter or fall I suppose
they picked cotton. do not
know about Once they came to
our house and mother bought some
of their huckleberries, though she
was nearly afraid to eat them, even
after they had been washed. He
then asked for something to eat and
mother gave him some fat meat and
corn bread in the kitchen. His fat
meat began to drip and mother said
to him, not spill your grease
upon my He replied,
me some lean meat and I will not
spill any Poor fellow, he
and his sister had a hard time, as
most beggars do. The saddest part
of my tale is to come. Just as the
war was ending and a hope held
out for him to better his life, he
went to his wife's house. His wife
was occupying an old deserted
dwelling near the public road, and
begged for something to eat. She
said that provisions were not
at her house and that he must
leave, whereupon, seeing a griddle
cake of corn bread upon the fire
about done, be snatched it up and
out of the house he ran, followed by
one of his wife's children. She had
a gun in her hand. Shortly after-
wards some of the neighbors heard
a report of a gun. The maiden re-
turned to the house, all serene. In
the morning someone passing this
place saw a man lying prostrate,
when he was called to he did not
answer, poor fellow, he was dead.
He was a worthless fellow
that no one ever inquired into the
cause of his death. Whenever one
boy wanted to insult another he had
only call him Felix. Whenever
a parent unmindful of his real re-
to his child, wished to
humiliate his child, he told him that
he was as trifling as Felix. Many
and many times have the hearts of
the little ones been almost broken
by being likened to Felix. The con-
that produced Felix have been
removed, I hope never to return.
Wonderful to relate, Felix's children
are self-supporting, respectable
and one of them, at least, is a
land owner, and she who is suspect-
ed of killing him in old age is a very
useful person.

district No. Deaver Dam township,
Mr. James a young man

capes, and Mr. would have
escaped, but for the fact that in try-
to get out of the way he

A. cauterized the wound and
sent Mr. to Raleigh for
treatment.
The crowd was coming out of the
school house when the dog was seen
acting strangely. Then it was said,

thing ails But the dog rush-
ed at them with the above result. The
dog then went off and bit some hogs
at Mr. a dog at Mr. Alfred
Nichols, some hogs at Mr.

being bitten.
Later a dog supposed to be the
same one was killed at Mr. John

Another Plague.
A most peculiar plague, which is
leaving death in its wake and is as-
alarming proportions, is re-
ported in Mitchell county.
Clerk W. S. of the United
States court, stated to a Citizen re-
that he had recently
talked with citizens of Mitchell
who are greatly alarmed at the
rapidly spreading epidemic in their
midst. Mr. stated that to his
knowledge, Dr. F. P. had
to the disease and that Dr.
Charles Buchanan is now under med-
attention at Johnson City, Tenn.,
as a result of the malady.
It is stated that several have died
in the last few weeks and that the
number afflicted with the deadly dis-
ease is increasing regularly.
It is said that the trouble is first
discovered by one or more fingers
becoming blood-shot, without the
slightest puncture or abrasion of the
skin. The effects pass through the
arm to the body, at which time
death follows. So far it is said no re-
lief has been found those suffer-
from the disease, and that the
nature of the malady has been here-
unknown to medical science as
far as investigations of the present
trouble has disclosed.
The plague has been spreading for
about three weeks in Mitchell county,

When John Chinaman Dies.
For the Chinaman, however
in actual life, becomes a man
of importance as soon as he dies, and
his grave must be carefully looked
after. The finest place I saw in Can-
ton was the Mortuary where the
dead bodies of wealthy Chinamen are
kept until burial. The handsomer
coffins I saw ranged in value from
to Mexican, or half
amounts American money. The lac-
surfacing accounts for the
high cost.
Nor are these departed Celestials
kept here for a few days only. Some-
times it is a matter of several years,
my guide told me, the or
fortune-tellers being employed all
this time in finding a suitable site
for a grave. These miserable
pretend that the soul of the
dead man will not rest unless he is
buried in just the right spot and in
the right kind of soil. Perhaps no
professional man earns as much as
these fakirs. Sometimes it happens
that after a man has been dead two
or three years, his family suffers a
series of misfortunes. A frequent
explanation in such cases is that
the wrong site has been chosen for
the dead man's burial place. Another
is then hired and told to
find a new grave where the soul will
rest in peace. Of course, he charges

MAN INFECTED BY COWS.
of British Commission Ar-
Tuberculosis Investigation.
After investigations extending over
ten years, the Royal Commission on
Tuberculosis, appointed in the first
year of King Edward's reign, today
issued its final report, which shows
that contrary to the theory of Koch,
who declared in 1901 that
in human beings and in cows
was not the same disease and there-
fore not from one to
another, both forms of the malady
are for all practical purposes
There may be minute differences in
the bacilli, but the Royal commission
pronounces decisively that children
can be and are infected by milk from
diseased cows.
While Dr. views never met
with general acceptance, it has been
held by a large number of
to be partly correct in that the
was only one sided. The Royal
Commission decides that the
and man can infect each other
either way.
After investigation of the cases of
persons suffering from
sis the commission declares that the
disease germ in adult consumptives,
especially in lung cases, is nearly
ways the human germ, and not that
from cattle, but with children the case
is very different. Among young
who died from the wasting of
the intestine the germ from the cow
was the cause in nearly half the
cases. Further, a large proportion
of cases of diseased neck glands in
both children and adults were the
to the same cause.
Fatal results in children do not
ways follow, though all the intestinal
cases examined were fatal. In adults
experiments tend to dis-
count the extent of the danger not
only of the milk of tuberculosis cows
but also of their flesh.
adds the report, have
found cases of tuberculosis in adult
man sufficiently extensive to
the patient for the ordinary
ties of life, and in two instances end-
fatally, in which we were able to
attribute the disease solely to the
of the bovine tuberculosis
The commission urges a variety of
to guard against infection
from tuberculosis.
Snakes And Cows.
We know very little about snakes
biting cows or their fear of cows.
But it is generally known that snakes
especially black snakes, are very fond
of milk and never miss the
to get it when they can.
Finding a cow lying down the snake
proceeds to do the nursing act and
the cow remains as still as a statue
while the snake drinks to its fill. The
evidence the milkmaid finds of this
is that when she goes to milk that
cow she finds the milk bloody and
then it is best to not use her milk
for a few days.
It is also said that cat fish are
fond of cow's milk and that some-
times when a cow wades into water
and stops to cool, if she is in deep
water, if some cat fish finds her, he
hastens to do the milking act to per-

Snake And Rabbit
Cumberland, July
snake and rabbit story worthy of
the season and the weather comes
from Mountain, near this
place.
The story goes that while Harry
L. Welch was cutting wheat in N.
R. Taylor's field he observed a
bit apparently engaged in a
with a large black snake that
had invaded her home. The snake
had swallowed two of bunny's lit-
ones and was dispatching the
third.
Mr. Welch struck the snake a
stunning blow, rescued alive
third rabbit, cut the reptile open
about eight inches and removed the
two bunnies that had been swallow-
ed.
About an hour later he returned
and found that the snake was again
swallowing the third little rabbit. It
did so repeatedly, but each time
the little animal came out of the slit
cut in the reptile's anatomy.

saying that years ago
the people who believed in letting
well enough alone were objecting to
railroads because they would compel
the payment of rent for pasturing
cows which otherwise might run large
without danger of being killed
The Star says that in Missouri not
long ago a man sold his farm be-
cause his had voted to
build a rock road in front if it, which
would force him to have his horses

In Kansas a man recently declared
he would favor good roads if the state
legislature would enact a law
venting automobiles from using them.
An Oklahoma farmer is quoted as
saying he does not want macadam-
roads because they will wear out
his wagons, buggies and farm ma-
There is much said about the op-
position of farmers to bond issues
for good roads in this section, but
the time has passed never to return
when there is serious opposition to
good roads. The objection is now
made on other grounds, that we are
not able to have them, that it will
hurt politically or Borne other sup-
posed calamity which may befall

The trouble is not with the farm-
it comes from various sources
and on various pretenses. The op-
position usually comes not from the
farmers but from those who farm for
the farmers, those who make their
living out of the farmers.

pose good roads, but the number is

Buying Southern Land.
The Record, sum-
recent big real estate trans-
actions in the south, says it was but
a few weeks ago when it reported the
sale to England cotton spinners of
acres of land in Mississippi
for which was promptly
followed by the purchase of
acres in the same state by Holland
people for about The
announcement made two weeks ago
of the purchase of a 75,000-acre tract
in Florida for by German
buyers is this week followed by the
purchase of about acres in
the same state, also by Germans, and
likewise intended for colonization
purposes. Chicago people have just
bought acres of land in Georgia
adjoining the tract of acres
which they already owned and which
will be developed by the building of
an electric railroad, and which like-
wise intended for colonization. Hon.
William Kent, a member of congress
from California, and J. F. Jordan as-
with him, have purchased
acres in North Carolina, which
will be cut up into small farms and
improved by good roads and suitable
buildings. The conclusion of The
Record is that these sales and many
smaller ones, which are being con-
reported are indicative of the
growing appreciation throughout this

for safe investments in the

cards be procured for his august per-

the soda fountain, and, with all the
nonchalance of a New York club man
calling for a cocktail, ordered the
clerk in charge of the fountain to pro-
duce a drink which would tickle the
royal palate, as well as assuage the
royal thirst. A moment was ample
for the clerk to leap the counter, and
a second-like space of time was

breathe devout prayers for his safe

THREE LECTURES
AT TRAINING SCHOOL
MR. TOMATO CLUBS.
Laughing-house on Tuberculosis
And Dr. Ferrall on Hook Worm.
The Monday night lectures at East
Carolina Training school
continue to be events of interest and
profit to the many teachers attend-
the summer term at this
Teaching in this age has gone be-
the old method of posing so
many hours a day over books and
getting the rudiments of
and and the
well equipped for the work be-
comes a factor in the community in
which she teaches, for she not only
possesses a knowledge of text books,
but is informed on matters of health
and sanitation, on domestic science,
on agriculture, and those things that
go to increase a community interest
and make life and better.
Education that instructs only the
mind and carries with it no care of
the body is not worth much. Mental
culture may be ever so extensive,
it is practically useless unless back-
ed by physical and moral culture.
. The purpose of those weekly lectures
is for development along all
cal lines, that the teachers going out
from this institution may be
thoroughly equipped for their work.
Monday night there were three
lectures that were heard not only by
the student body but also by a large
number of citizens of the,, town. Mr.
I. O. of the state and govern-
agricultural departments, spoke
on the canning of fruits and
tables. He said as our people get
the of these only during the
period of growth, a great product
goes to waste, while if the surplus
was canned it would not only pro-
for winter use but afford a
means of profit as well. He pointed
out the cheapness and simplicity of
home canning outfits, and urged the
teachers to encourage tomato
clubs in their schools and thus
awaken an interest in this profitable
enterprise.
Dr. Charles Laughinghouse
spoke on the question of health and
sanitation, mainly tuberculosis and
its prevention. He went back to the
first discovery of knowledge of this
disease that has annually claimed its
thousands of victims, and showed
that by the progress of medical
science through the succeeding
and with it the increased
knowledge of and
the death rate from this
scourge has grown less year by
year. Like almost all other diseases
this is largely preventable under
proper sanitary precautions. He
urged the teachers to inform
selves in matters of and
and prevention of disease, and
be enabled to impart this knowledge
to their pupils and the people among
whom they teach. He also argued
for a more rigid sanitary inspection
of city markets and other places
where public health is affected, de-
that such inspection should
be made by one who has medical
skill and is sufficiently acquainted
with conditions to correct all evils
that are found.
Dr. John A. Ferrall, of Raleigh,
gave a lecture op hookworms. This
was illustrated with
views, showing the beginning,
and development of this disease
that saps the energy and life of so
many people. The campaign in North
Carolina against the hookworm is
new, yet with the aid of the press,
the pulpit and the school, co-op-
with the medical profession,
the progress has been wonderful, and
much is being done to check the dis-
ease in its incipiency and eradicate
it.
Three more helpful lectures than
these have not been given during the
present summer term of the Train-
school.

There was a smaller attendance

Exhibited Excellent Pictures to A
Crowded House.
Those who witnessed last night's
performance in motion pictures at
the Gaiety speak in the very
highest terms of their pictures, the
story of each film is well told and ex-
without a flicker.
The management is making every
effort to please his patrons in this
respect and we believe if they con-
in the future as they have in
the past, it will only be a short time
before they will have to make other
arrangements for a larger building.
The class of films they are
are very instructive and can be
looked upon as an educational
tor, nothing more impressive upon
the mind than a picture well mapped
out, therefore, it is reasonable that
motion pictures are more easily
grasped than books, and from this
view, we contend that refined
are educational.

ESCAPES FROM
HIS CRUEL MASTER
starts dot in world.
To Find The Fame in Dream
Visit From His
Hanrahan. N. C, July
slept the remainder of the night after
his enchanting dream, for the
that lie had taken from his angelic
hand seemed; to him as
real as did the life-giving fluid of in-
fancy that he had so often imbibed
from her breast as he lay In her
arms, unconsciously clewed at her
dress front and cunningly smiled
into her sweet face, before any
thought of sorrow or fear of storms
had crossed his mind. But the crow-
of the cocks, and the neighing of
the horses that he at break of day
must feed, aroused him and he raised
from his reclining place to realize
that what he had seen was only a
dream. But surely it must not be
deception. Yes, it was a messenger,
an omen. Call it what you may, to
him it was a signal that pointed him
to what he deemed his only hope. So
all that tried to work while
he planned for his escape from his
master. Near the close of the day,
as he stood on the bank of the Neuse
work was near by this he
saw near the edge a canoe floating
down the stream. With a pole he
pulled it to the bank and moored it
with a grape vine in a place he was
sure he could find in the darkness
of the night. At night fall he took
the horse to the house, and with his
daily routine finished he tried to
seem cheerful in order to cover any
suspicion of his intention to make his
escape. He made his shuck pallet in
the porch as was his custom, and
threw himself on it until all was
quiet within and then with no light
save the stars twinkling above, he
stole his way to the river, and to the
spot where he had fastened his lit-
boat. Carrying only a cross-bow
that his father had made him, and a
hatchet, that his mother had given
him, alone with the darkness and
weary he unfastened his boat. With
no pillow, save a square block of
wood, he stretched out his exhausted
form on the bottom of the boat as
she drifted on the bosom of that
somewhat swollen river. The night
passed, he knew not how. Morning
came and he found himself lodged on
the upper side of that horse-shoe
bend that the Neuse makes several
miles above Goldsboro. So hungry
and no supply of food to draw from,
he must in some way replenish the
inner man. Dire necessity, and
when hunger is gnawing at
our inmost vitals, will cause one to
create thoughts and investigate plans
that would have never been reached
or thought of under different
So he remembered his cross-
how which was but young
birch trees stood thick on the pen-
when finished, they hastened to this
raves of tar, leaving on the ground
a pone of corn bread, some
crackers and a hand full of
salt in a little cloth sack. With
eagerness he seized these and an oak
chunk with a live coal on one end.
Then he made his way back to his
boat. He had not long to stay there
before a squirrel crept out of a low
hollow and was playing on the ground
A beautiful sight it was, but hunger
forced Eugene to offer this innocent
beauty as a sacrifice on his altar.
So with his bow he shot an arrow
that pierced its playful heart. He
dressed and broiled it, and with part
of this and the bread he broke his
fast. After gathering up the
he loosed his boat from her
mooring again started down the
river.
Ere this strict search was being
made by the cruel master that he had
left. Men were employed by him
and sent east, west, north and south,
with the strict that if Eu-
gene could any where be found that
he be bound hand and foot and re-
turned to him. Strict search was
made, even among the rubbish of the
cow shed, and sheep fold, but no
of the missing boy. His foot-
steps had been traced part of the
way to the river and then were lost
because of the hard soil. The
pointed master made a trip of
miles to the neighborhood of Eu-
gene's old home, and then offered a
reward for the capture and return
of the boy. But Eugene had
this effort to capture him and
he was ever on the alert, though he
longed to get one glance at the
scenery of his earlier days.
Some chapters in any book must
necessarily be dull, but these lead
up to where the first rung of the
ladder that reaches to fame and use-
is reached. So here we leave
our hero floating down the river, but
we'll meet him again in a more beau-
and healthful place in our next.

A Sew Series of Twelve Games To
Begin Friday.
The first series of games of the
Coast Line League was completed
Tuesday, and the association held a
meeting In Grifton Tuesday night, to
arrange another series of twelve
games to begin Friday, 28th, two
games a week to be played in each
town.
Greenville won the pennant In the
first series with a per of
having lost only one out of ten
games. In the new series of games
that begins Friday, if some team
other than Greenville wins, then a
series of three games are to be play-
ed between that team and Green-
ville to determine which is entitled
to the pennant for the entire sea-
son.
It was agreed at this meeting of
the association that each town in
the league may secure two new
players provided their names are re-
ported by August 2nd. With this ex-
only those players who were
in the first series of games can play
in the second series.
The opening games of the new
series Friday will be between
Kinston and Greenville at Greenville,
and Grifton and Ayden at Ayden, the
games then to alternate to the
towns. Some good games may
be looked for in this new series as
all the teams will be in good trim.

OPERA HOUSE FOB GREENVILLE.
Manager Advises High Class Plays,
Operas and Musical Comedies.
It was with the deepest regret that
the people of Greenville last season
were unable to witness a stage
of any interest, due to the fact
that they had no place to
date the plays that were billed, due
the ruins of the opera house that
was swept by fire previous to that
time.
, For the coming season the
will read with interest the open-
of the new opera house now near-
completion in the Edwards block.
As soon as the place is completed the
managers of the Gaiety will
occupy same until the fall season
opens for theatrical troops, for which
they have slated some of the very
best in grand operas and musical
comedies.
The building which is expected to
be completed within the next two
weeks will have a seating capacity of
four hundred people. They now have
en route opera chairs for same, of the
very best quality, together with this
they have a stage that will

The elevation of the floor is
most completed and together with the
arrangements in front in the way of
a ticket booth greatly adds to the
of an up-to-date opera
house.
The manager for the coming season
is Mr. H. G. Sparrow, who is well
versed In this profession, and has
years of experience, which gives
cut information that they will only
slate the very best on the road and
assures us of some of the very best
that are obtainable in North
Carolina. He furthermore states that
it is his intention to exhibit the very
best in pictures during the
time with the exception of the nights
he has plays billed.

are Messrs. H. G. Sparrow and L. A.

displaying their ability and meeting
with much success since their opening
