Editor 
Very few know that the law 
forbids killing squirrels until 
November, and the Jaw has ten 
violated by a great many. Some 
have been very uneasy lately, 
while there are others who keep 
on violating the law every day, as 
you can hear shooting in almost 
every direction. 
I have long since concluded that 
no game law will ever amount to 
much until the county game 
who will see that every 
sportsman fares alike. 
Worry. Try it this Week. 
Let no day pass without person- 
secret communication with God. 
Begin each day taking counsel 
from the Word of God, if but one 
verse while you are dressing. 
Put away all hitter feelings and 
over slights or wrongs, 
no matter from whom 
Have on your heart person 
or cause of which you are pleading 
God's blessings each day. 
Let no opportunity pass to say 
a kind word, or do some kind deed 
or as least smile those you 
meet. D. mis, not affectedly, but 
sincerely, as the Lord. 
Guard well door of your lips, 
that no unchaste word, jest or 
story, no slander or cutting re- 
marks, no or untruthful 
statement, shall pass out.

Dear I beg to enclose 
you tin order properly executed 
for the purchase of fifty 
Pianos, to be delivered 
at Conservatory, 
Gainesville. Ga. This will 
equip the Conservatory with 
Pianos exclusively, with 
the exception of one Concert 
Grand which we Lave on hand. 
When began to investigate 
pianos with a view of taking 
out all and putting in an en- 
new supply, the 
came to my notice. I have 
studied pianos closely during 
the last ten years and have 
purchased ninety instruments 
that time. After visiting 
the factories in a number of 
cities, I inspected your plant 
in Baltimore. I felt sure that 
no factory in the United States 
was better equipped to produce 
a strictly high-grade piano 
than the factory. 
We have had one of your 
instruments in the 
for one year, and have 
tested the tone, quality and 
mechanical construction. 
thoroughly testing it for 
eight or ten hours per day, I 
have placed an order for 
new Pianos. I find the 
of this piano every 
way desirable to the artist and 
to the student. 
While the cost of your piano 
is considerably more than I 
have pay for others, it has 
greater merits, and I consider- 
ed best none too good 
for Conservatory. 
I take pleasure in saying 
that after we have secured the 
pianos ordered all of our 
rooms, both for

A Salisbury woman accumulated 
her savings for years and kept them 
hid in a coffee pot under the kitchen 
floor. When the amount saved had 
reached about a thousand dollars 
somebody stole the pot. There 
good banks in Salisbury where the 
money could have been taken care

In all his conduct and rulings the 
high sense of duty and justice is 
prominent. Only criminal cases 
have been tried, but the good 
order, a proper regard for the law 
and the best moral sentiment in the 
community is predominant in his 
administration. With a of 
fairness to all, high or low he has 
proven to the people of Pitt county 
that he is capable to a high degree 
as a judge. He has made a splendid 
and lasting impression upon the 
minds and hearts of the best people 
of the county.

Nothing would please the Demo- 
of Pitt county better than for 
the Republicans, 
pendents to all get together and 
bring out an opposition ticket. It 
will tend to solidify the true Demo- 
and bring out a full party 
vote. It will also show just where 
some men are and keep the party 
being bothered with them in 
future. 
The Republicans, too. are anxious 
to do something in the interest of 
the dear people, and have issued a 
call for a county convention on the 
first of October. they in 
conjunction with the Populist and 
the own candidate self 
appointed to right his great wrongs, 
can bring out enough of the stay-at- 
home Democrats to show them how 
big a majority Pitt can bury the 
whole push under.

Wake Forest Sept, An 
awful tragedy took place miles 
west of here to-day. A white man 
named Geo. Tilley, Jiving two miles 
up the river from Falls, shot 
his wife and mother with a 
shot gun. Mrs Tilley was in the 
bed with her two old baby 
when her picked up the 
gun and indicated that he was go- 
to fire. Thinking that Tilley 
was going to shoot the baby the 
mother threw herself over it, and 
the load grazed her shoulder. 
Tilley then opened fire upon his 
mother-in-law, Mrs Joe Lowery. 
The load took effect in Mrs 
Lottery's right shoulder. She ran 
into the yard and cried for help, then 
she entered the house turning, 
Tilley shot her again in the back of 
the head, thus rendering her 
conscious. Mrs. Lottery's condition 
is serious, and it is thought that she 
will die. The shock may also result 
in the death of Mrs. Tilley. The 
only cause that can be attributed 
for the rash act is that he became 
angry with his wife because 
her picture off to enlarged and 
did not send his. He has been gruff 
and has had little to say for the past 
month. He left immediately after 
the shooting and had not been cap 
lured at last accounts. 
AN EXCITED ANGLER. 
He Lost His Head For Awhile, but 
Landed His Fish. 
If there is any place requiring a 
cool head it is when one is in a 
light boat or canoe angling for heavy 
fish in deep or swift water. Undue 
excitement has cost many a life 
such circumstances. 
A curious example of the outcome 
of undue excitement has just been 
related to me by a fact,, 
the individual himself. 
Unfortunately for my friend, 
though a man of thirty-live years,. 
yet only once previous to this 
had he experienced the joys 
of angling.

The tug on the line, the bend-

and, giving a spasmodic leap, ha- 
cleared the boat and landed feet first 
on the bottom of the lake, that was 
covered with five feet of water,, 
holding fast meanwhile to the rod. 
The cool water calmed his nerves at 
once, and, being a six footer, lie

in his own fashion to 
the rod and reel. The fish be-

for advice as to the proper way to
