The facts as brought out at the in- quest are about as On Sunday, August 13th, Harris, colored, aged was shot and killed. Mack Harris, aged or years, said that shot himself. Alex Daniel, aged said he saw the shooting, Mack was in the house and when came up Mack raised the gun and shot then Mack ran across the cotton patch and came back after a while with his mother and father. The coroner's Jury thought there was sufficient cause for Mack to be held for investigation by the grand jury, hence their verdict was that Harris came to his death from a gun shot wound inflicted by Mack Harris.

The Season Has Come To An End. The Coast Line League season has closed with Greenville the proud possessor of the This league was composed of teams of Green- ville, Ayden, Grifton and Kinston. It started out to have only home boys as players, but as the season went on some of the best college stars in the state were secured. In the first part of the pennant race Greenville so outdistanced the others, that a call was made when eleven games had been played, Green- ville losing only one. There was a start then for another series of twelve games, each of the teams having been materially strengthened. This second series ended with a tie between Greenville and Ayden, which the latter refused to play off and the pennant was awarded to Greenville. The two teams, however, arranged for three post season games to be played here this week on successive days, and Greenville also came out winner in these. While all of the teams had hired players it can be said to the credit of Greenville that her team used more home boys than any other In the league. In no game played were less than four home boys put up. All of the teams did well and played good ball. Some of the games were as brilliant as any of the crack leagues could produce. The out-of- town players on the Greenville team all proved to be clever gentlemen, and they helped to make a wide rep- for their team. They made many friends here. MAD DOGS ABOUND Small Scrap. Mr. J.

A few weeks ago there was some excitement in and around Farmville over the appearance of mad dogs. The discussion grew pretty warm over whether or not there should be a slaughter of dogs, and when dogs were found dead in a very short time the fighting stage was almost reached among the owners, about the only thing that prevented fighting sure enough being that nobody knew who to hold responsible for the death of his dog. Now a squeal has come, some days ago a dog belonging to Mr. Will pen bit one of his horses on the nose, only making a slight wound. Mr. Thigpen doctored the horse's nose and shut up the dog to await develop- In a few days the dog went mad when Mr. Thigpen killed it and also another dog belonging to him. Ag a safeguard against danger from the horse, he has built a log pen in the woods and confined the horse in this pen until he can see if the horse goes mad.

Place A Good Man As Superintendent Of All Work. WINTERVILLE, N. C, Aug. 1911 Editor I am in favor of good roads, and have been reading some of the about good roads, hoping that some move might be made that would open the way for the work to begin; but bonds seem to keep the way blocked, for we can't get bonds and we can't get them out of the way to try something else. I read the article in your paper where Mr. X. Y. Z., had discovered a plan to build the roads by bonds and to pay the interest on the bonds, and a part of the bonds each year, by using our present funds, that we col- from the taxes. Well, I expect he was about right, but I had to wonder how he was going to keep the roads repaired, for I am sure that it will take more la- to keep the good roads repaired than we spend at this time on our roads. So it occurs to me that we might need all our present tax money to keep the roads repaired. I have also read the other articles in your paper about what the did and what others did, but they seem to be of an explosive and I expect threw more dirt out of the road than in It Let's keep trying and not give up, even if we have to make the roads without bonds. Let us amend our present system and start to work. Perhaps we can begin to plan in such a way that results will soon follow. I would suggest that we have the best man we can get for county of roads and let him have control of all labor overseers that are subject to road duties, and let him have them work full time, and as they work let them work to the best Interest of the road by the proper drainage and shape to the road bed. Then, I would that the county superintendent I have control over the chain gang force to work them where it is not convenient for the overseer and his force to work. We might also let him have partial control of X. Y. tax money, and instead of letting it be used to pay bond Interest let it be used to buy the best tools and machines available, and let these be used among the overseers or chain gang, or any where else for the of the road. Then if there is tax money on hand, it might be used to hire labor to be used on the roads where it might be used to the best advantage. We might be very lengthly In suggesting plans as to how this work might be scheduled so the county superintend- might be with the work all over the county to see that the road bed might be in proper shape, for the machines, and how the labor might be kept at duty. But this can be looked after later. If something like this could be done we might call a mass meeting at an early date to discuss plans, and also to get some unity among the people. a. b. a As the writer of the above seems to have overlooked where Y. calculation pointed out that would be available for and improvement of roads each year, we reproduce that part of the article for information.

mm Home and Farm and The Eastern Reflector. SMUGGLED THROUGH ELECTION WILL BE HELD OCT. The Little Word Destroys Clause Last winter a large number of of Greenville township who were in good roads, held several meetings that resulted in preparing a bill lo be sent to the legislature submitting to the voters of the town- ship the proposition to issue bonds not exceeding to build good roads in the township. There were others who were opposed to the measure. These opponents likewise held a meeting and also circulated petitions for signatures to send to the legislature against the passage of the bill as sent up by the advocates good roads. In other words they wanted to deny the people the right of expressing themselves at the lot box on a matter of importance to the township. The finance com- of the legislature to whom the bill and petitions were referred, thought the people of the township should have the privilege of express- themselves by a vote if they de- sired to do so, hence they reported the bill favorably and it passed. The next step of those leading the opposition to the movement to build roads by a bond issue, was to prepare an amendment to the bill annulling the clause providing for a new of the voters of the township for the election to be held on the question. This amendment was in- by Representative Mooring and was likewise referred to the fin- committee. The committee in considering the mutter, brought out the fact that it is customary for a new registration of voters to be held in elections of this character, so they voted to report the amendment favorably, and that was supposed to be the end of it. On the first Monday in this month a committee of the township good roads association went before the board of county commissioners and asked that an election be called in accordance with the provisions of the bill passed by the legislature, the first Tuesday in October being named as the date for holding the election. The commissioners granted this re- quest, based on the understanding that a certified copy of the bill be found in accordance with the of the committee making the request. Later application was made to the secretary of state for a certified copy of the bill as passed by the As the acts of the last leg- had already been compiled and published, the secretary sent a bound volume of these. The bill pro- for the election was found just as represented by the committee, but in addition thereto there was also the amendment annulling the clause or- a new registration of voters. This disclosure was a great prise and showed that rank perfidy had been practiced somewhere in getting this amendment on the statute books, as it had been reported . favorably by the legislative commit- tee and regarded as killed. Steps were started at once to investigate the matter and If possible, locate the author of this treachery. The records of the legislature were first exam- and the original copy of the amendment was found. Instead of being marked in ac- with the action of the com- it bore the stamp and also bore the endorsement of having been duly passed by both branches of the legislature. The next step was to communicate with of the members of the legislative finance committee to whom the amendment was referred, to persons who were known to be pres- when the committee acted upon it. and to the senator and from Pitt county, to see if it could be learned how the amendment, after being voted upon unfavorably, got upon the legislative calendar and was passed. The letters published herewith speak for themselves. The Reflector was shown these let- as soon as they were received, but would not make any mention of them until Representative Mooring, who has been away, could be seen and a statement obtained from him. He was in Greenville Tuesday and when interviewed expressed surprise that the amendment was passed and that this was the first knowledge he had of it being passed. Speaking further, he was the amendment which I offered in the house and was killed by the finance committee. When the committee was to act on it I went before the committee to favor the amendment, and Representative went to oppose it. Both of us stated our side of the question. There was such opposition to the amend- among the members of the com- that I dropped the matter, urging it no further, and retired be- fore the committee voted on it, sup- posing their vote would be able. I regarded the amendment as killed and knew nothing about it pass- until my attention was called to it today. I have no idea how the bill got out of the committee room on the calendar and was passed. It may be possible that through an of the clerk to the committee he stamped it instead of and in that way it went through unobserved, being a local Following are the letters from on the subject.

There were only a few members of the committee present, and after hearing the matter discussed for a short time a motion was made by the Hon. Romulus Nunn, of New Bern, that the bill be re- ported unfavorably. The motion was carried unanimously and it was so ordered. have my permission to use this letter in any way you may see Mr. H. A. White, who appeared fore the finance committee of the legislature as the representative of the good roads advocates to oppose the Mooring amendment, when Inter- viewed today, received a letter from Thorne advising that Rep- Mooring had introduced a bill in the legislature that would be very detrimental to the Greenville Township Road Bill which had ready been passed, and informing me that the bill had been referred to the finance committee and would not be reported until those who favored the road had an opportunity to be heard. I went to Raleigh the next day and the committee agreed to give those interested a hearing that after- noon at o'clock. At the appointed hour, Representative Thorne, Capt. J. J. Laughinghouse and myself, before the committee and stat- ed that the advocates of this meas- were only asking that the people of the township be allowed the of expressing their views on an important question in the same man- and way that other townships and counties in North Carolina had been granted, i. e., by voting at the ballot box their convictions. We called their attention to the fact that the committee had heard Mr. W. F. Evans and others on this same of a new registration when the original bill was under consideration, and that the committee had then held that the new registration, as provided for in the bill, was right and proper and had refused to strike it out. After the matter had been discussed for a few minutes Representative Nunn, a member of the committee, moved that the Mooring Amendment be reported unfavorably. The motion was unanimously carried, and it was so ordered. Representative Mooring did not appear before the committee to defend his bill, but I met him a short time afterwards in the capitol and told him what action the com- had taken. He stated to me that the bill had been introduced by him upon request and that he per- had no interest In the mat- and would have nothing further to do with it. returned home and reported to the friends of the road bill that the Mooring amendment had been killed in the committee, and had no idea to the contrary until a volume of the printed laws was received in Green- ville last week when it was that the same bill that had been killed was among the published laws. I could not help but feel that the The Carolina Hone and Farm and The Reflector. measure had in some way gotten there by mistake. I went to Raleigh last Wednesday to make an and found the original on file with the other bills that had been regularly passed by the legislature of 1911. bill had on it the following Bill No. fa- 25th, 2nd and 3rd readings in the House 27th., and was ordered sent to the Senate where it took the title of Senate Bill No. 1st reading 2nd and 3rd readings March 2nd and was ratified on March 3rd. are the facts as I found them, and they speak for When asked what effect the would have on the election which had been called by the county commissioners on the 3rd, he will mean a still larger majority for bonds for good roads than the measure's best friends had calculated. The citizens of this township who stand for, and believe they should have a right to vote on this question in the same manner and way as do other com- will rise up in their might and carry the election overwhelming- I think we should ask that the old registration books be purged, and the names of all dead persons and those that have moved out of the township be stricken therefrom and the election held on October the 3rd, as originally called by the county The matter will be looked into further with the hope of finding who is responsible for this sneak The man who would stoop to such is a dangerous man, and should be rebuked by every fair-minded cit- who loves honesty. Of course, there is no way to the matter to have any bearing on the election in question, but the election can now only be held under the old registration. We understand from leaders of the good roads move- that the campaign be waged in earnest and they are going into the election on the 3rd of October expecting to see a good majority of the people of the township vote for bonds for good roads. Sentiment in that direction has greatly increased, and there is hardly a doubt that the sneaking through the legislature of the amendment annulling the new registration will cause a few citizens heretofore disposed to be indifferent to come out and ally themselves with the progressive voters who want to see their township have good roads. NOTES FROM LABOR The Long Arm of the Law. Three men wanted in Boston for a burglary have just been arrested, one in Russia and the others in Austria, and all are now on their way back to the scene of their crime for trial. The arm of the law is long. A notable of these extraditions is that the treatment of Austrian and Russian interests in our Courts has not ways been calculated to strengthen excellent relations between the United States and the two other tries. In the case of the Pa., riot of a number of years ago, Austria complained, while only a short time since Russia vainly sought the extradition of a revolutionist charged with terrible crimes, which he himself acknowledged committing.

r . . . OUR WEEKLY LETTER FROM WASHINGTON SOME VITAL WASHINGTON NEWS. How Try to Oust Prospects Bright. Clyde H. WASHINGTON, Aug. Taft administration will not dare to carry out the plot to drive Dr. Harvey Wiley from the government service. This was the thought that suggested itself time and again to the minds of the men and women who crowded the Moss investigation committee rooms and heard Dr. Wiley lay hare the story of the systematic fight which has been waged against him because he insisted the food manufacturers keep their products pure. At times, as Dr. Wiley told of the fierce he had endured, his voice most broke, and he could proceed only with difficulty. At times also the committee members, utterly dumb- founded by the doctor's statements, were at a loss as to what questions to ask him next. Not only was it shown that Dr. Wiley's efforts to serve the public and protect it from injurious and poisonous substances in food prep- had been absolutely blocked by the conspirators in the headed by Secretary of culture Wilson and his controlling in- Solicitor but that the latest effort to force Dr. Wiley out of office was based upon a letter which he never received and knew nothing about. Not boastfully or eagerly, but in response to questions by members of the committee, Dr. Wiley recited the universities at which he had studied, the great scientific societies at home and abroad which have honored him in various ways, and the recital went a long way in revealing to the com- the great public spirit and sympathy of this man who possessed a courage in public duty which neither threats from official sources nor op- position by the powers of evil had been able to break down. While the whole hearing was a succession of revelations that left the and spectators thunder- struck, the most astonishing came when Dr. Wiley told of his efforts to prevent the use of alum, and when he recited the of how three cabinet and please the Corn Products Company, abrogated the application of the pure food law to a product of that con- used in said Dr. Wiley, in baking powder, is responsible for the large amount of constipation that is prevalent throughout the country. I considered its use a serious danger to public health, and wanted it stopped pend- an investigation. But the other two members of the reviewing board -a when I returned I wrote a letter to Secretary Wilson asking for a hear- But Secretary Wilson did not even reply to my Administration Stenographers. Here is a story of two Taft stenographers which shows how hard it is to work for the gov- these days and remain hon- est. F. M. Kerby, stenographer to the late Secretary of Interior Ballinger, exploded the whole Ballinger defense by bringing to light the Kirby wrote this this memorandum and knew, therefore that President Taft's letter Ballinger was ante dated and a frame-up to clear the secretary. And because he revealed information which came to him in his confidential capacity as stenographer, Ballinger called him and ed him. Now contrast this with the case of Miss Carrie M. Davis, stenographer to Dr. L. F. of the bureau of chemistry. In his campaign to oust Dr. Wiley, Solicitor locked Miss Davis in a room and her for three hours because she re- fused to divulge confidential which thought he could use against Wiley. Kirby broke a confidence, because he placed loyalty to the people above loyalty to and was discharged. Miss Davis refused to break a confidence, and for that she was cruelly chastised. A Four-Ply Monopoly. One of the first facts developed by the Stanley steel investigating com- was that the directors of the steel trust actually dominated the boards of directors of nearly all the important railroads of the country. Then it came to light that the same ruling spirits of the steel trust co- operated with and Standard Oil. And now it de- that four of the six directors of the harvester trust are also direct- ors of the steel trust. In other words, the steel trust, the railroads, the harvester trust, and Standard Oil, contributors to Republican campaign are dominated by the same handful of men.

Editor the Gods would destroy, they first make In Friday's Reflector you surely must have been red hot, and the way you yelled and was almost enough to make one think that this was your first connection with the famous bond bill. Have you so soon forgotten how that those who wanted this bond issue held some- what of a sneak meeting one Monday night without warning the people in time to be present, and how, when your attention was called to it, and a motion made to adjourn to another time that all persons interested might come, you and your crowd voted it down by a vote of to And do you remember how that next day you published that a mass meeting of the citizens of the township met the night before in the town hall and ratified the bond bill You knew at the time that the meeting was held under a snap call, and that it was not a meeting of the citizens of the township, still you seemed willing to let it appear that it was. But, of course, under your code, this was all perfectly fair. You state in your that last winter a large number of people of Greenville township held several meetings, etc., etc. Would you kindly give the time and dates of these alleged meetings. The meet- held that night in the town ball only had about persons present, and the famous Fourth of July meet- thirteen.

J. Laughinghouse, who is himself a state official and closely connected with Bryan Grimes, our secretary of state, and who has much of his Influence thereby, had been lobbying the said committee for several days prior to the date of the hearing, they received but scant recognition. And so we appealed direct to Mr. Mooring, and he promised us to table the bill when it should come up in the house. But one Saturday he came home with a carbuncle on his neck and the bill through the house. Then it was that he introduced his amend- and wrote me that it had got tied up in a committee and on ac- count of certain influences, could not be got out.

And after all, Mr. Editor, why should a little two-by-four committee legislate for a people Has not the legislature passed the amendment and did it not do so In compliance with the expressed will of a majority of the voters of the township Has it come to a pass that you should get rod-headed and say ugly things be- cause Herbert White and two or three others didn't have as much in- with a Democratic legislature as four hundred other citizens.

Countries far in advance of us have tried the building of roads in other ways, but have abandoned the other ways and adopted the bond plan, and are so delighted with the change that they say in substance, is the way we long have sought and mourned because we found it WHIT BETTER IS OFFERED. A WORD TO ADVERTISERS. FRIDAY, AUGUST 1911. WHY WE FAVOR BONDS. The Reflector is in favor of a bond issue to build roads, because it be- that is the feasible way to get good roads. The county has gone along years and years collecting road tax and spending it on the roads without permanent result or benefit, and is no nearer a system of good roads under that method than it was years ago. While we would gladly advocate a county bond issue to build roads all over the county, we be- the township plan will bring results much quicker. Pitt county will not get good roads in a hundred years unless some of the leading townships set the pace. Greenville township being the richest township in the county, as well as the county seat, can well afford to lead in this matter. Good roads are an necessity for and progress, and Greenville owes it to herself and to the county to take the lead. Good roads here will be such an object lesson that other townships will naturally want to follow the lead. It is true that to issue township bonds and build roads in Greenville township would indirectly benefit the whole county, but that should inspire us to action rather than deter us. There was once a man who owned a piece of land that needed only a ditch to make it valuable, but the man let it go to waste because he could not ditch it without helping the land of his neighbor. Was he wise No good thing was ever done that did not help things other than the special thing for which it was planned. That, after all, is the good in goodness. There are some who say roads can be built without bonds, therefore bonds are unnecessary. Produce can be hauled without rail- roads unnecessary Men have lived At the rate the subscription list of The Daily Reflector is growing we expect it to reach or more by the of September. So are we of reaching that number by then, we are willing to guarantee an average circulation of not less than This is important to as it means not for one day only but for every day. It is an op- also that business men should take advantage of if they want their advertisements to reach the people. September is the month in which they should put forth their best efforts in advertising for fall business. The tobacco market will be open then, cotton will also be com- to market, and the farmers who raise tobacco and cotton constitute a large majority of the readers of The Reflector. On every nearby route are a large number of Re- subscribers, and the business men can reach these farmers by their advertisements in The Daily Reflector. Right now is the time they should be engaging space in this pa- per. Our advertising rates are the same for this large circulation that they have been all the year. WHO ABE FOOLING THE PEOPLE There is very little in the com- of Mr. James L. Evans re- the Greenville township road bill, published elsewhere in this paper, that needs any reply. He says advocates of this bill have worked in secret behind closed No one knows better than Mr. Evans himself the lack of truth in this statement, for it is well recalled that he was present at many of the meet- if not all of them, and took part in the proceedings, hence he was fully aware of what was being done. As to the charge of attempt to dis- franchise voters, that is too absurd a statement to notice, as every one with judgment well knows there is no better place for people to express themselves than at the ballot box, and also that it is the prevailing custom for elections providing for bond issues to be held under new registrations, which gives every one the right to register and vote as he desires. The attempt to fool the people is all on the part of those opposing the bill and championing sneak legislation. We wonder those who profess to be in favor of good roads, yet are opposed to building them with a bond issue, do not suggest some other plan by which the roads can be built. They make lots of noise in but make no suggestion of a better plan to build roads. If the roads can be built in any better way it ought to be known and let the people adopt that way and build the roads. The thing needed is good roads, and there should not be years and years delay in getting them built. If there is a better plan than through a bond issue we would like to know what it is, but we do not believe that Pitt county will have much better roads than exist right now until they are built with bends. While good roads benefit the generation in which they are built, they also benefit the generations to come, therefore we think it is right for future genera- to pay their proportional part for the benefit received. SMALL ROASTS HITCHCOCK. The Reflector told on Tuesday of getting a telegram from Congressman John H. Small, containing the that the order previously made by the post office department to discontinue the post offices at Falk- land and Bruce in this county had been revoked. A special from Wash- City to the Charlotte Observer tells how Congressman Small went about this matter, and it shows the influence he has when he goes about anything in the interest of the people of his district. It says A hot roast was dealt Postmaster General Hitchcock by Representative Small in an interview today apropos of the attempt to abolish the offices at Bruce and Falkland in Pitt county. The recommendations of In- Goldsboro that the offices be discontinued was blocked by Mr. Small. He said the department seemed to be seeking to make a rec- for economy, even if it meant the destruction of efficiency. What the people wanted was better service, he said, and they did not expect the postal department to yield revenue. He referred to the fact that money given by congress for establishing new rural routes had not been used. ---------o The Reflector has criticized the way in which the Mooring amend- to the Greenville township road bill was passed through the because it was killed in the committee room and not a tor can explain how it came to life again. Such methods of legislation bear the marks of inexcusable neg- on the part of all our or political on the part of one or more of them. Any man that is a man, no matter whether be favors a bond issue for roads or not, can have nothing other than adverse criticism for the way in which this amendment was passed. The refer- In this paper to it was written in behalf of political efficiency and political honesty, without regard to good roads. Such political methods do not meet the approbation of de- cent men, and a paper that shuts its eyes to such legislation is untrue to old-time honesty and twentieth intelligence. The farmers of Pitt county should prepare for planting more wheat this fall than in former years. The Re- is not authorized to speak for a on the matter, but enough has been said to us to lead to the be- lief that Greenville will have a flour mill before another wheat thrashing time comes. Such a mill here will make it convenient for farmers to get their wheat ground into flour, and more wheat should be raised. The Pittsboro Record has entered upon Its thirty-fourth year.

Reform is only favored where it does not interfere with the trusts. When bad roads cost you as much in direct taxation, and many fold more in indirect taxation, as good roads, it looks like a saving to have good roads. Put as much enthusiasm in the movement for good roads as there has been the last few weeks in base ball, and you will sec the good roads com- on. This is the kind of change In the weather that brings the seaside re- sorts to a close, but there is going to be more of the warm kind. The next six weeks are going to be made to tell on the proposition to have good roads in Greenville town- ship. The new court house was not com- in readiness for this term of court, as was at one time anticipated, but will likely be by the next term. Good roads sentiment is one of the things that is growing, not only In Greenville township, but all over Pitt county. President Taft vetoed the wool bill and the free list bill. Congress tried to pass them over his veto but failed. There is hardly a doubt that the cotton crop of the country has been estimated much too large.

It is millions for water- ways and public buildings, but not one cent for roads, the crying necessity of the age. Their lack of interest in this vital question may be due to the fact that comparatively few of their constituents are deeply interested in securing good roads, but the fact re- mains that they do lack interest and that public funds continue to be away in bolstering up the pride of petty municipalities and in unimportant harbors and water- ways, to say nothing of the amount sunk in floating fortresses.

That a newspaper man often can serve his community better by not printing statements, coming from responsible authorities, is illustrated in the story of the action of General Manager Stone of the Associated Press during the excitement of the panic of 1907. George W. Perkins gave out a state- to attending newspaper men that the only spot was the Trust Company of America. This statement was sent to the Associated Press. General Manager Stone saw printing it meant a run upon the organization. Such a statement from Mr. Perkins about the strongest financial in the world, at that time, would have made trouble for it. Mr. Stone fortunately had been a banker and also a working newspaper man. With an intelligence brightened by from both of these professions he determined that this story ought not to be printed. It was news not fit to print. The story was an opinion advanced by Mr. Perkins. If the public had merely received it as an opinion the danger might not have been so great. Mr. Stone knew that the public would re- it as a statement of a man closely in with J. P. Morgan Co., and Morgan is the first and last authority in Wall street. The New York Times, however, did print the statement, with the result that there was a run the next day on the trust company, and except for extraordinary efforts that company which today is a splendid institution, would have been wrecked. There are times when opinions of men may have the greatest news value. There arc other times when they are worthless in essence and hurtful if given publicity. And there are times when opinions, no matter how startling, coming from an well balanced but temporarily fevered mind, are mere hysterical It is most fortunate for the Press, the organization on earth, that an experienced veteran like Mr. Stone at its head to do active duty as an editor in a time of great excite- Commercial-Appeal.

Police regulations in regard to drunkards are not effective. To put a drunkard in jail and let out after B few days to is anything but a solution. To fine a drunkard, taking away the few dollars he may have, is not a cure. We should treat the drunk- ard not as a criminal, but as one who la sick. New York City makes the that farms should be establish- ed where drunkards could be restored to health, furnished with good food and kindly treated. Chicago suggests that drunkards be sent to hospitals and cured. Take away, possible, the opportunity for drinking and the craving for liquor. In at least one civilized nation in Europe they do things better than do here. When a man is found drunk on the streets, the policeman out where he got his last drink. He conducts the drunkard to that, in- hires a cab and sends the drunkard home, and makes the loon keeper that sold the last, drink pay for the Sentinel. a man doesn't realize that he married an angel until she begins to do the harp act.

Former Greenville Citizen Baltimore. Telegrams were received by relatives here this morning announcing the death of Mr. W. S. Rawls. which occurred at o'clock this morning at his home in Baltimore. Mr. Rawls was a native of Virginia and about years of age. He and an older brother, Mr. J. G. Rawls, moved to Greenville in and established a business here that proved very successful. In the year 1890, associated with his brother-in-law, Mr. R. A. Tyson, he established a private bank here, the first bank the town had, which later became the Bank of Greenville. In the year 1894 Mr. health failed, causing him to retire from business, and two years later he moved to Baltimore where he made his home. While a citizen of Greenville in 1876 he married Miss Margaret of this county, and the wife and three children survive him, his two sons, Messrs. Leslie and Lee Rawls being residents of Baltimore, and his daughter, Mrs. Smith, re- siding in New York. Mr. Rawls was a Mason and a of the Methodist church. Dur- his residence in Greenville he was foremost in promoting the interest and of the town, and was held in high esteem by all our people. The remains wilT be brought to Greenville for interment, reaching here Sunday afternoon on the Nor- folk Southern train, the funeral to take place immediately afterwards in Cherry Hill cemetery.

A young Raleigh lawyer, who makes a few dollars by acting as ad- recently had a case that has given him quite a lot of trouble to settle up. His experience might possibly be of some benefit to other aspiring young attorneys who are anxious to rise in the world by aid- their clients. This young lawyer in question got along fine with the case until it came to making a final settlement, and then his attention was called by the court to an account of to which the heirs objected. The ac- count reads as one snorer, This Item had been placed in his expense account and, of course, if the heirs had not naughty heirs sometimes would have gone through without any trouble. The court was much troubled over the item and asked the attorney for an suspecting that something was wrong in the accounting department of the administrator. The brilliant young attorney was equal to the occasion and explained it in this He said that the de- ceased husband was a chronic snorer and his beloved wife had become so accustomed to his snoring that she could not sleep unless he was and that after his death she had been unable to sleep for weeks for lack of this familiar noise. Finally, he struck upon the idea of having a machine made that would snore, and when this was put in the room she had no more trouble at night, but slept soundly. The widow regain- ed her lost health and when the bill for the new machine was presented to the attorney he naturally thought it should go into the expense account the administrator. The court, some questions as to the cal workings of this new invention, allowed the claim as a just one. Raleigh Times. Here is another entrant for the mendacity medal.

The tor forth brethren NOTICE To The Tobacco Farmers of Flit And Adjoining Counties. Having been raised on a tobacco farm near the town of the largest tobacco market in the state and for the past few years connected with Ayden tobacco market, I feel that I am in position to assert, with a reasonable degree of accuracy, that the Greenville tobacco market is one of the best in the state. From my experience on a small market, I became convinced that I could not protect the interest of tobacco farm- selling on my floor, and therefore decided to establish myself with a larger market. I shall this year have charge of the Gum warehouse for the Farmers Consolidated Tobacco Com- I want to say to every tobacco farmer, and especially to those who have sold with me in the past, that, as manager of the Gum warehouse, for the above company, I am in position to thoroughly pro- your interest in the sale of your tobacco, and every pound that is sold on this floor shall have my personal supervision and personal interest. I want to thank all of my old whoso patronage deeply and to say to those who have never sold with me, that if you will give me a trial, I will endeavor to make you a customer and make you feel at home at THE GUM.

Volume GREENVILLE, N. C., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1911. Number WILL OPEN FRIDAY Everything in Readiness for the Season STAR WAREHOUSE HAS FIRST SALE The Market Will Have A Strong Corps of Forces of the Will Lead The Eastern Markets. The tobacco warehouse row in Greenville is a busy place just now with the final preparations for the opening market which takes place on Friday, September first. The opening of the tobacco market season is always hailed with delight, for it means employment to more people, more money in circulation among the farmers and more trade for the business people. Following as it does the dull summer months, everything takes on new life and everybody gets busy when the co market opens. The of Greenville were never in better shape to handle a crop than they are for the com- season, and they are determined to make Greenville hold its place as the leader of the Eastern markets. The market this season being some weeks later in opening than formerly has given the farmers more time to get their crops cured and ready for market, hence it is expected that sales will be brisk almost from the outset. The crop this year Is a very short one, and that may mean a short season. If prices are good at the opening they ought to be good for the entire the farm- will no doubt sell freely early in the season, but if prices are not sat- there will likely be a hold- back until they get better. Sure- the buyers should appreciate the shortness of the crop and pay for it all that it is One warehouse here, the Peoples, having been destroyed by fire since last season, only four warehouses will be operated on the Greenville market this season, but they have ample room to handle all the tobacco that can come here. The four houses are Star, Brick, Gum and Lib- all well known to the planters who sell on this market. The open- sale will take place Friday at the Star, and then proceed at the other houses in the order named above. Manager Foxhall, of the Star, says that as it is up to him to make the opening prices with the first sale, he is going to set a high pace that the others must hustle to approach. While we are not yet able to give a list of the buyers on the Green- ville market for this season, as all of them have not come, it is safe to say no market will have a stronger corps and they will be here for with ample facilities for taking care of all their purchases. The working forces of the several warehouses will be as Star Warehouse. Farmers Consolidated Tobacco Com- proprietors. F. D. Foxhall. manager. N. D. Young, assistant manager. G. H. Baker, auctioneer.

Until February, when failing health necessitated his retirement, it was his pleasure to bring cheer and com- fort to the sick and distressed, himself, as was the measure of the man, to relieve the burdens of his fellows. A thorough Christian gentleman, a humanitarian in the strictest sense, and a physician of the old school, his untimely death is indeed a great loss to the and the heartfelt sympathy of his many friends go out to the members of the family in their hour of trial.

Dr. Thigpen is survived by his wife, formerly Miss Beulah Sparks, of one son. Guy T., Jr.; his father, Mr. Lafayette Thigpen, and a large family of brothers and sisters. An Afflicted Family.
