The Proud of
Fair.
The second day and closing of the
Pitt county fair dawned bright and;
beautiful, with enough crispness in
the air to make it delightful. People
began arriving early and the first
trains brought great crowds. The
schools that arrived early had an
hour or two to look at the exhibits
before parade, and it was a great
revelation to the children to see
what their county is doing in the way
of products.
At o'clock the schools began
assembling on Five Points in
for the parade, and people
along the streets designated for
the line of march to view them as they
passed. The following schools were
Carolina Teachers Training
school, Winterville High School,
Farmville graded school, Grifton
graded school, Bethel graded school,
Ayden graded school, and about forty
of the district schools, the names of
all of which we could not learn.
They embraced between twelve and
fifteen hundred children, and made a
procession about a mile in length.
The head of the line had gone around
and nearly back to Five Points In
time to see the rear leaving there.
It was a great procession.
Headed by the officers and board of
governors of the fair and the band,
the procession moved off at
o'clock with the Training school first
in line, then the schools from other
towns in the county and the country
schools, the Greenville graded school
being at the rear. The procession
was greeted with much applause all
i mg line of march, many de-
i hiring it the finest spectacle they had
ever seen In Pitt county.

previously indicated, and arriving at
the Star warehouse the following pro-

congratulating Pitt

especially on this magnificent

a hearty welcome.
The vast assembly then joined in

the large audience which he
edged with a bow and ordered the
crier. Mr. L. W. Lawrence, to open
court. Quite a number of ladies Were
in the audience to hear the charge
Judge Whedbee.
The first business was the Calling I,
Institutions of the county. Judge
Whedbee said it made him sad to
speak- of our county home. There
are not more than a counties
in the state that can boast of more
material progress than ours. Pitt is
the best county in the have
the best people, best schools, and
COURT
there are just two things in which
we are badly even smaller
counties, and one of these is our
county home, which he must say with
regret is a shame to the county.
It really ought to be called a poor
house as in years until we
improve It and so Improve it that it
Is a home for the aged and Infirm.
He suggested that the commissioners

The other feature in which Pitt
is behind many other counties, be
said, was our public roads. It mat-
not what opinions are held as to
how good roads shall be built,
by bond Issue or otherwise, they
should be built, for our poor roads
are costing the people of the county
thousands of dollars annually.
As Judge Whedbee concluded his
charge Solicitor arose for
a few words. Be said he had just
gone through this new court house
and wanted to congratulate the com-
missioners and people of county
for building the best court house
in the It was even better than
his own county of Carteret. Erecting
such a building-is an evidence of
prosperity of the people. He wished
also to say to the people of Pitt
county that Judge Whedbee was
a record on the bench that Is a
high credit both to his county and
himself.

The specific charge upon which Mrs.
Murdock and her are
to be tried is the alleged murder of
Harry Harding. B sailor, whose body
was found in a shallow grave on the
Murdock farm early last summer. The
discovery resulted from a statement
made by an old who called at
the sheriff's office and reported that
he had been asked by Mrs. Murdock
to dig a grave at the farm. Deputies
hurried out. and digging in an onion
bed where the earth shoved signs of
recent disturbance, found at a depth
of a foot the corpse of Harding, with
his head crushed in with an ax.
Following her arrest, Mrs.
is said to have confessed to
edge of the crime. According to her
Statement, jealous of Hard-
murdered him singlehanded.
Search of the Murdock house is
said to have brought to light scores
of letters from men with whom the
woman had corresponded through
matrimonial agencies. Two men seen
with the woman are said to have dis-
appeared mysteriously. One. a Civil
war veteran, banished so completely

brought one step nearer to becoming short time before of the
Women hi North Carolina.
The Winston Republican asserted
that no woman was ever hanged In
North Carolina. The Landmark
corrected the statement by calling at-
to the fact that a white
man was hanged in Burke county
many years ago for the murder of her
husband. Her name, If memory
serves us. was or Fran-
Silvers. The papers have pub-
in recent years a lot of bar-
stuff she wrote
while she was in Jail awaiting
execution. In mentioning the Burke
case The Landmark expressed the
opinion that other women had been
hanged in the state. The Raleigh
News and Observer demanded to
know when and where. By way of
answer a correspondent informs the
News and Observer that a
man hanged in
as late as 1882, and Mr. G. H. A.
Lilly mentions the hanging of a
woman in Montgomery county a
an accomplished fact today, when
the board of army engineers appoint-

route met in this city to prepare Its
final report to the War Department.
The Florida canal scheme Is regard-
ed as one of the most Important of
all inland waterway projects In this
country. It would obviate the pas-
sago around the Florida of all
ships between the Atlantic and the
Gulf and would be valuable for naval
and military purposes as we as tar
use.

when the people in hell,
hanging and women who
committed capital not in-
frequently paid the penalty the same
as men. But later there came a feel-
that to put a woman to death was
barbarous, and following this It be-
came a custom to excuse men so
often that now it is almost impossible
to inflict the death penalty on any-
body save a or a mighty
nary Land-
mark.
The weather was so bad that there
was not a large attendance of
at the meeting of Carolina club,
Monday night, but those present filled
the meeting full of enthusiasm.
That some work has been going on
was shown when applications for
membership were called for, twenty
active and two honorary members be-
elected at this meeting. The
honorary members were Revs. C. M.
Rock and J. H. Shore.
The question of deeper waterways
and sending delegates to the coming
inland waterways convention in
Washington City was announced for
discussion at the regular monthly
meeting the first Monday night in.
December.
A committee was appointed to
respond with a view of having pros-
from the West, who are to
have an excursion to Eastern North
Carolina in December, visit Green-
ville on their trip.
The club voted unanimously to co-
operate with the Civic League in the
effort to a better and more beau-
Greenville.
Thus it will be seen that Carolina
club has started out on a campaign
to do things, and it wants all men
of the town to enlist in the work.
The canvass for new members under
the half rate admission fee for thirty
days will pushed, and a special
meeting of the club to act on
cations will be held on Tuesday night,
21st.

Editor
This writer attended the great Pitt
county fair Friday. Oh, wasn't It
wonderful that this grand old county
could get up so many exhibits and
so many bright, white children, solid
Saxon yeomanry, their sons and fair
daughters everywhere. I feel proud
that I first saw the light here. One
mistake the managers made was to
have speakings and the fair under
one roof. That procession of boys
and sweet Southern girls that arc
soon to be husbands fathers, wives
and mothers. Soon they are to be
at the helm of state. And we old
antebellum people will soon pass
over the river.
Well, I saw a long procession of
militia men of Pitt county in Green-
ville the last general muster before
the Civil war. It was. I think. In
October, 1861. They formed in front
of the court house, down
Evans street to Fifth street; thence
east to street; thence south
with he New Bern road to the Greene
plantation, pulled down the old rail
fence to the right and marched In
to drill. There was no crop In the
field. It Is now L C. Arthur's plan-
and about the southern limits
of Greenville.
The men had their muzzle-loading
guns, some with the old flint and
steel. The county was then divided
In districts with district captains and
other company officers. These met
to drill at the county muster ground
as it was called, on July 4th, and at
other times. The general muster was
the meeting of all the country dis-
annually. This was a
and was officered by Walter
Newton, near Falkland, as colonel.

I had the opportunity of spending

The exhibits were fine as to quality
and variety. The products of the

of the good women of the county
were especially interesting. The
of household and domestic
such as canned and preserved
and vegetables, were really a
able object lesson. The fair

The Conference Plan.
The conference cf governors of the
cotton producing states held in New
Orleans has made its
looking to an adjustment of the
price of cotton on a profitable basis.
The first paragraph of the
We earnestly recommend to the
planters of the southern states to fol-
low the example of Louisiana and so
diversify their crops as to produce
everything necessary for consumption
on the farm and let cotton be the
surplus crop even If the quantity
raised shall be per cent less than
present crop, as then they will get
just as much In return for much less
labor than this year's crop will yield
at present prices, will soon free them-
selves from debt and be In
without any financial aid, to sell
their crops gradually, as the demand
shall exist and not market the work
of a year in or days as they have
been accustomed to do.
That recommendation has the right
ring to it, and is Identical with the
plan repeatedly urged In these col-
as being the most practical and
sensible one to follow. A farmer with
a store debt for supplies and for fer-
account cannot hold his cot-
ton. He is forced to sell at whatever
price ho can get whether above or
below the cost of production. But a
farmer who has had the foresight to
make all his supplies on his farm
meat and vegetables, and
grain and hay for horses and cattle
and has not had to Incur debt for
these things to make his crop, with
another year's supply in his crib
and barn, can hold his
cotton and continue to live at home.
The recommendations go
further and advise every farmer to
not only reduce his cotton acreage,
hut to plant the so reduced
in some grain crop that will make
food for man and beast We believe
that per cent of the present year's
cotton land sown to wheat and oats

All Should Take An Interest

Editor
The town of Greenville is quite
fortunate In having in its midst such
an organization to work for its
and development as the Civic
League. These few ladies that have
banded themselves together with a
definite purpose that stands for sonic-
thing, deserve much credit, and should
have the sanction and support of
every true citizen that loves his town.
Some may the ladies as
out of their sphere, and that
such movements tend towards
man but if woman
consists of such work as the
Civic League is doing, then it would
be good for Greenville
The same treatment and care that
an intelligent individual gives him-
self is good for the community in
which we live. Our streets and other
public places should be kept clean
and made to have as good an appear-
as possible. And it is this great
undertaking that the Civic League

is no garbage can law there should
be one and it should be enforced. A
filthy, trashy, street is no

visit Greenville the dirty, rag-

visitors are no more impressed with
the dirty town than you are with the

As to improvements of our streets,
of course that is a matter for the.
board of aldermen to take up, to
push, and to accomplish, owing to

already made, the town is bonded and
In debt, and there does not seem to
be much capital for the aldermen to
operate with. But if such light
as we are able to make
will be put through whenever
the opportunity for them arises, and if
the property owners will co-
operate with the aldermen by doing
their part, not six months later after
much damage has been done, but in
conjunction with the town, much good
can be accomplished. To be more
explicit, suppose the town grades a
street and puts on sand and clay, and
the property owner does not put up
curbing as is required by law, but
not enforced, what happens Dur-
a rain the water that does not
wash across the side walk puddles on
the walk along the side of the walk

softening the newly street and
causing same to muck up become
worse than before improving. Any
pedestrian who has to use these
curbed side walks can tell you of their
condition in wet weather. It would
be a great Improvement from a stand-
point of looks and comfort if every
properly owner on unimproved as
well as improved streets would put.

kind.
These suggestions are made in the
spirit of Interest that have in Green-
ville, and I hope you will take them
for what they are worth. Such
can be made at very lit

other such Improvements that would
be of much benefit to our town, so
let us all make suggestions that we
think will be helpful, and come to-
in concerted effort
to improve and make It
more attractive, not only to ourselves
but to those who us. that they
may be persuaded to cast their lot
in Greenville, thus helping hear our
burdens and enjoy our pleasure.
