Death of Mr. J. B. Andrews.

Mr. J. B. Andrews died Feb. 24th, 1910, at 11 o'clock, aged 46 years, one month and one day.

When the death angel visited the home of Mr. J. B. Andrew at east Burlington and claimed for victim the most precious' one in the home, the lather. Our heart was saddened to hear of this death, but we are sure he has gone to his reward. He wi-l be missed in the home, not only in the home he left but in all the homes he come in contact with. We had the pleasure of living near him for nearly four years, and became very much attached to him. We very often called him father. It mattered not how busy he was if called to visit the sick he respondent He enjoyed ministering to tab sick and af­flicted.

He will not only be missed in the home but in the entire com­munity of east Burlington. We extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy.

Resolved, that we humbly bow to the will of Him who always deals gently and mercifully with His children. That we extend to the bereaved family our sincere sympathy in this dark hour. Let us all strive to be as good and useful as he was, and when we shall have finished our journey on earth, may we all meet him around God’s White Throne in Heavefr.

Rocky Mount, N. C., March 10. —Things are all astir in Cooper’s township Nash County. Captur­ing an illicit distillery in full ope­ration by Sheriff Charlie Johnson and three deputies last night has been the primes cause of the activ­ity and trouble. While captur­ing the distillery was important the main interest lies in the fact that the life of a farmer of that section has been imperilled.

He was waylaid last night, while coming home from Nash­ville. Three men flourish pistols to verify their statements that he “must leave the county, ” un­der threat to kill him. His fami­ly and to destroy his property.

Yesterday afternoon shortly before night Sheriff Johnson and Deputies Wheelas, Barnes and Boddie discovered a distillery in full operation about a mile from Thompson’s Mill, Cooyers Town­ship, eight miles from Rocky Mount

The still was operating in full blast at forty-five gallons capa­city. ■ ■When the officers advanced they

discovered a citizen of that sec­tion, Berry Carpenter engaged at the task of operating it.

However, Mr. Carpenter was not taken by the officers.

The distillery was taken and about four hundred gallons of beer was poured out. v

After capturing the outfit, the sheriff left the distillery in charge of his deputies.

Going to one the homes nearest in the neighborhood, he ordered J. R. Vick to hitch his team, and carry the outfit to Nashville.

The farmer protested arid ask­ed to be relieved of the task, but the officer did not relieve him as ordered by the sheriff,, and Vick carried the still to Nashville last night.

During' the early hours of last night the home of Vick was visit* ing by three men who stayed well under the cover of darkness and were careful not to let their idenity be known.

They inquired the whereabouts of Vick. When told that he bad gone to Nashville, as ordered, they stated for the wife's bene­fit that he would never return alive.

They made further threats against his family that threw the farmer’s wife into a great state of unrest. It, would be a hard matter to realize the anguish through which she passed during the wait for her husband's return. Their threats did not end With this.

While Mr. Vick was returning to his home, and when within about a mile of his home, hiis mu­les were stopped by being grabb­ed by the bridles and amid a flour­ish of pistols, he was waylaid, and to his pleadings isperh&ps due the fact that he lives today.

When he left Nashville he load­ed his wagon with fertilizers. The first question directed to him was: ■

“You take a load and bring a load, do you?” Following that they heaped abuse upon him and threatened his life, amid the fre­quent brandishing of pistols.

Finally Mr. Vick was turned loose, but not without a threat that if he ever told of the holdup it would cost his life.

Ur. Vick is considered a quiet, lawabiding citizen, and he is greatly disturbed over the threats made and after finding that all safe at home, he again went to Nashville, reported the facts to Sheriff Johnson and asked that proper protection be given him by the law.

This was assured him. Up to this afternoon there had been no arrests though it is expected that a warrant against Carpenter will be served,' if he can be found. The other two aecomplicies are not known to the officers yet- ii' is thought that with the ari^it ol Carpenter, these may be divulg­ed and other facts that will give other men trouble in the borhood.

Death of Uncle Eli isle;.Eli Isley died at the horn

his nephew J. C. Shepard Webb Avenue Saturday

arqh 12th aged 87 years 7 months and 12 days. For the past 14 years he had made his home with Mr. Shepard, his wife Barbara Shepard Isley having died 14 years ago last I October. Uncle Eli, ^s he was familiarly called, was well and favorably known by the people of East Burlington, having for a longr time give many of them free de­liver by carrying the mail once or twice a day. While not natur* ally very strong yet he was never sick and never would take medi­cine even on his death bed. He had no disease and simply died of old age. He leaves two sisters, Mrs. Sallie Clapp of near Siler City and Mrs. Letitia Dick of the St. Marks community. Mr. Isley was a life long member of St. Marks Reformed church and was very faitful to attend service. After coming to town he still maintained his custom by attend­ing the Reformed ; Church here and especially was he fathful to attend the Lords Supper, a lesson that many of- our younger church members need to remember. He was buried beside his wife at St. Marks March 14 the funeral be­ing conducted by his pastor, Rev J. D. Andrew. This another of the old “land marks” has fallen.

“We fellows in the house don’t need them at all.” chirped the member from Georgia. ‘ ‘We are frisky and vigorous. These old, decrepit senators aren’t able to walk to and from their officers. They have to ride. I don’t guess well ever ask for automobiles.”

And the Judge quickened his pace to show his youthfulness. — Philadelphia Times.

A Baffling Mystery Story.Preparations are now being

AfterLa Grippe

“I had suffered several Greeks with LaGrippe. Had pains in my head and eyes. It felt as though there was a heavy slight on the top of my head, .-.atil it seemed that my brain would burst. I was so nervowi that I could mot rest or sleep. When I dozed off I would awake with a sudden jerking of m y whole body. Dr. Miles’ Nervinc:. Heart Remedy and Nerve and Livt:r Pills cured me. A nucAer of friends have since realised the same benefits.”

MRS. ALVIN H. LO(MS, Seabrook, H, H.

The after effects of LaGrippe are often more serious than the disease, as it leaves the system in a weakened condition that Invites more serious troubles, such as pneumonia, etc.

Dr, MUes’ Restorative N em o#.

should be taken for some time to thoroughly restore -nerve strength.

Strong Endorsement.Mothers and Fathers, for the

Lord’s sake and your sake, read the following:

My wife, on Dec. 10th, had pneumonia and she gave birth in the meantime. The Doctor came to see her two or three times during the day and did all he could for her; but she seemed to grow worse. She had a terrible pain in her right side that, at times, would cause her to holler. We tried everything for that pain that we knew of, but nothing did it any good. She was suffering so much I went after the Doctor again and he remarked to me that it was not worth while for him to come, he had done all he could. He also, told one of my friends that she was bound to die, but as a good doctor will do, he came over and wrote a prescrip­tion for my wife. I had it filled, gave it to her, but it did no good whatever. When we had given up hope Mi'S. Steed came and told me to get a box of Mother's Joy and rub my wife and she be­lieved it would cure her. I went over to the Goose Grease House at once and got a box of Mother’s Joy and rubbed it on as directed, and in fifteen minutes she was asleep and slept all night, but had not slept any in five nights before applying Mother’s Joy.

I sincerely believe that if it had not been for Mother’s Joy my wife. would have been dead. I have sworn to this statement that every mother and father should know what Mother’s Joy is.

Mrs. R, M. Rains, who lived near Parks X Roads in Randolph County, was killed one day last week by her cow. She was in the stall milking, and when in response to her screams her hus­band rushed in, he found her dy­ing the cow having hooked her under the ear and thus breaking her neck.

J. W. Peace of Albright town­ship, had the misfortune to lose his barn by fire last Thursday night. All his feed, five head of horses and one cow were lost, and two cows were ba<3$y burned. The origin of the l&e is _ unknown, though some think it to have been the work of an incendiary. There was no insurance and J&r. Pearce has the sympathy of all in his great loss.

Webster Week!;,

Ben Williamson of Saxapahaw, a brother of our estimable town- lady, Mrs. J. C. Mills, passed through Reidsville Tuesday on his way Forth, where he goes to con­sult specialists regarding his heal th. We trust that his indisposi­tion is only temporary.

Last Saturday night Robert Newman of the Madison section, suffered the misfortune of having his barn destroyed by lightning. His horse mule, cow and two hogs sheltered in the barn at the time were burned. This good farmer has the sympathy of the people in this dispensation of Providence which brings him sore loss.

Wilkes Patriot.

During the thunder storm Sat­urday night the lightning played upon the electric light system in North Wilkes boro and put out all lights in town. The damage to the system however, was slight and was repaired and the lights turned on again after a couple hours darkness.

A mass meeting has been call­ed to meet at the court house Saturday night to appoint cooper­ative committees to act with simi­lar committees of other places to perfect plans for the early con­struction of the railroad from Taylorsville, A large attendance is hoped for and expected.

Baobur; Reporter. .

W. H. Fliuchum of Piedmont, Springs, caught another large grey fox in a small spring trap the past week, this being the se­cond one he has caught recently. Neither fox was injured by the trap and Mr, Flinchum will keep them as pets.

This section was visited by a severe electrical storm Saturday night. During the storm light­ning struck one of the front wheels of Wm. Shelton’s wagon at his home three miles north of Dahbury. Mr. Shelton had just returned from Winston and un­hitched his mules from the wag­on when the crash came. The wife of Mr. Shelton was slightly stunned by the stroke.

Wednesday, March 16, 1910.

Why wouldn't a “Shoo Fly" from Greensboro to RaleigH do the business. What say our rail­

road friends?

The Democratic convention goes to Charlotte. Well, we sup­pose that city is fully prepared for a hot taae.

Burlington, in order to compete with neighboring cities in attract­ing outside capital and industries, must hrve additional railroad fa­cilities. These we can easily ac­quire if we will determine to put our shoulders to the wheel and work in harmony for the general good of our city and county.

The State Dispatch suggests the organization of a company to build a line from this city to Pitts- boro, thus giving us direct and quick connection with the main line of the Seaboard Air Line at Moncure. Let the townships which this road would traverse issue bonds to the extent of their ability and these with the private subscriptions that could be secur­ed, would assure the prompt con­struction of this connecting link with the outside world.

Let us think about these things and “get busy.” What say our Chamber of Commerce? Why not call a public meeting and set the ball in motion?

The State Dispatch invites an expression of opinion from citizens living in the territory af­fected by this long needed addi­tion to our transportation facili­ties. In this matter, as in all other movements affecting the welfare of our people, this paper desires to lend its columns and its influence.

The Burlington News in its vieled efforts to justify the Dem­ocratic board of aldermen and to condemn the Burlington Pastors Association, in its last -reeks is­sue says: “If this were a polit­ical argument with The S-ate Dis­patch or an argument on the cross roads campaign We would not hold our friends up to a Scrip­tural standard." Now we all know what The NeWs would do if in a political argument With the State Dispatch, judging £he fu­ture by the past, he would either run or lay down.

He Knew Them.

A Congregational minister* the father of six-year-old twin boys, was obliged to send one from the table for misbehavior. The little fellow was sitting crestfallen on a chair in an adjoining room when the maid entered. Upon spying him she said, “Oh, Billie, I d be ashamed to be sent away from the table, as big a boy as you are, too.” Billie, with flashing eyes, drew himself up saying, ‘Well, you wouldn’t if you'd known this family as long as I have.M —The D e lin e a to r for April.

The Virginia Senate last week adopted the Federal income tax proposition by a vote of 19 to 4. The house of delegates a few nights ago voted against the proposition.

Piano Recital.

A piano recital will be given by pupils of Miss Estes at the School Auditorium Friday,March 18th at 8 p. M. A cordial invita­tion to attend is extended to all who are interested in the work of the class.

Wonder what become of that new train that was to have been put on this line between Greens­boro and Goldsboro some time ago. It seems to have been lost

in the shuJSe.

The city of Raleigh must be getting very quiet, did not even want the Democratic state con­vention. Perhaps they could not put up the required amount of liquid refreshments.

The indications are that there Mill be no Jet up in the building of “Greater Burlington” this spring , and summer. Many substantial business houses and commodious residences will be erected.

Ex-Govenwr Glenn says he is not a candidate for Congress; but would not object to going to the United States Senate. Well, we guess not, but this is one wish of the “wind jammer” that will hardly ever: materialize.

*1*11 v»nmwiiiMm«lnwa%uwi

That Nash county biockaderj must have been an influential! Democratic politician,- from thej fact that the sheriff vvas content! with capturing the outfit and left! the owner and operator to terror­ize the neighborhood.

It would be nothing short of a calamity for ex-Governor Glenn to break into the United States Senate. There are too many of that kind there now. We need more statesmen there, and fewer demagogues of the Davis, Vard­anian and Glenn stripe.

One would not think that such lawlessness as that perpetrated in Nash county last week could occur in North Carolina under Democratic good government. Well, but there is no telling where they will go, or what they will do if given a chance.

The head lines of an article in a recent issue of the News and Observer, “the need of more Su perior courts,” and the teaching and arguments of the Burlington News, that there is a decrease in crimes committed throughout the state, do not harmonize by any means.

The Democrats in North Caro­lina see the hand-writing on the wall and they are beginning to quake in the knee joints. As might be expected (.hey have al­ready begun to sing their old song, “nigger, nigger.” If they cannot find a new issue, they cer­tainly should try a new song. Just any old sopg will do, but it is consistent

Something For All.

Under the above caption our es­teemed contemporary the Greens­boro Daily News gets in the right word at the right place in commenting upon the following j

item that is going the rounds. I The item and the comment, we j

think fits some people we know, J who have variegated ideas about! how a newspaper should be run. We reproduce the article in full j

and it is worth reading.‘ ‘This paragraph has been

caught in the whirlpool, and is going the rounds:

‘ “A wisely conducted newspa- ( per is like a banquet, says an ex- j change. Every thing is served up with a view to variety. Help yourself to what you want and do not condemn the entire spread be­cause pickles an onions may be included. If you do not relish them somebody else may find them palatable. Be generous and i broad enough to select gracefully j

such reading matter from news-1 papers as will be agreeable to j your mental taste. You, as an ! individual, are not compelled to!; swallow everything. We do not \ all think alike on every subject! and it is a good thing, as it makes! more variety, and variety is the i spice of existence. ' ”■ I

‘‘This is an old picture in a new j setting—an old truth in a new j dress. The banquet, idea is a good i one, and the fellow with the un- j

cultivated taste may with all pro-j priety pass up the celery and ol-1 ives, and regale himself with a j sandwich, plain water, and per- j chance a mint. j

“A newspaper—in its true view | -—is a many sided proposition. > Its first duty is to print the news j for the masses, and not for any1 particular class. It caters to all classes for subscriptions, and must of necessity secure patron­age from many classes or cease to exist. The fellow who cares nothing for sporting news, re­ports of football, baseball, tennis, | prize fights, etc., can turn to the I personals and pink teas, or to some other class of news, and vice versa. And because one class of subscribers do not like the policy advocated in one par­ticular editorial they should not give it up as a bad job and hope­less case, and “stop the paper” with an air that carries with it a desire to suppress the entire pub­lication.

“The paper that pleases every­body in everything has never come from the press, either in news matter or editorial policy. It is as impolite to demand of the paper of which you are a subscri­ber that it print only such news and opinions as to meet your ap­proval, as it would be to attend a banquet and order the waiters to remove everything from the table that does not appeal to your own individual taste.”

AN EXHAUSTIVE PUBLICMNTwenty* third Report of the^Hrth

Carolina Department of Ltj and Printing.

The Twenty-third Annui] port of the Department of and Printing of the St'North Carolina has been from the office of Commis]M. L. Shipman.

The chapters of the repo; er, as usual, farms and labor, wages of farm hand cost of production of farm ducts, condition of the ti miscellaneous factories ar dustries, cotton, woolen an| mills, furniture factories, paper statistics, and railroa] ployes and wages.

In addition to this, ther<| been added a classified li] factories, the labor laws o State, and a resume of th ports issued for the past years, and other interestin formation.

An excerpt from Chapt says:

Primarily, the purpose oi] statistics is to show houi labor and wages, conditior labor, and to give an idea of progress is being made in an cational an moraV way, wh< there is an improvement in eral proficiency, and the rel of supply to demand.

In some quarters to whiel report is sent, these purpose overlooked, the recipients ex ing rather a directory of ml facturing enterprises. Unde: peculiar conditions of the governing the Department the manner of collection of tistics, it has proved imposs excepting cotton, woolen silk mills, to secure a com; list of the factories.

So far as the means at ]^B have allowed, it has been purpose to include every fad of whatever kind, employing or more people, that it was sible to reach.

Chapter II, farms and f labor, shows an increase in value of land in eighty-se counties, decrease in twoan< change in nine. Fertility of is reported maintained in eig four counties; fourteen re that it is not maintained counties report a tendency have larger farms; ninety-1 smaller. Eighty-six counties port labor scarce; twelve pleti Ninety-five counties report nej labor unreliable; two reliable, a one, no negro labor. Sixty coi ties report employment regul thirty - eight irregular. 'Eve county reports an increase in c< of living.

Chapter III, covering t trades, says:

In addition to the specific formation asked for in theblan sent out, the Department h taken a general survey of conditions under which the trad or, more properly speaking, t body of working men and wome are now laboring. The conclu ions reached, based on the ans1 ers to inquiries which appear one form or another on all blank relate to phases of the questi< that cannot be answered cor prehensively by yes or no, or 1 any figures. A certain amou of the losses in quantity of woi offered and prices paid for servi which occurred in the latter p of 1907 and 1908 have been r| gained, and whib employment by no means so easily found, a it may be that wages are sligh less than in the floodtide of If on the whole, conditions affecj

ing the trades may be said to be in a shape fully as satisfactory as at any' time in the industrial history of the State.

Chapter IV. miscellaneous fac­tories, says that general indica­tions show that the factories are rapidly being put on a substan­tial basis — that is, show an absence of mushroom growth, or what is commonly known as “schemes.'’ Few new factories are reported, but, on the whole, conditions may be said to rep­resent a stable- progress, suffici­ently rapid to show growth, but at the same time at a rate that would seem to indicate only the meeting of a demand that may reasonably be expected to be per­manent.

Chapter V, covering cotton, woolen, silk and knitting mills, gives general conditions, and much detail information.

Chapter VI, covering furniture factories, reports;

The furniture manufacturing interests represent a quiet, but at the same time an import­ant and substantial industry, in the life of the Sffite. While the supply of raw material is by no means acurately short, great in­roads are being made on the timber lands that furnish this material, and it is a source of re­gret that, apparently, no steps are being taken to preserve or provide a supply for use after the present supply has been exhaust- ■ ed.

The newspaper situation, as covered by Chapter VII, shows that in keeping with the advance in every other line of business, the newspapers and institutional publications show an increase for the year of eight in num­ber, and of 137,242 in circulation. Then follows a list of papers, with names of editors, proprie­tors, circulation, etc.

Taken all in all, the publication represents a deal of crystallized information, evidencing a lot of patient and careful work.

A Bill Nye Story.

The following anecdote appear­ed in the first number of the Bookman and has just been re- m-cduced in that magazine. It concerns Edward W. Nye (Bill K ye), who made, we are inform­ed a short speech at an author's ■{inner in London that was ranch relished by the bookmen present,' including the publishers at whom t was indirectly aimed. “Just a voar ago” he said, “I was walk­ing on the principal street of In­dianapolis when I met a man whose appearance showed that he was reduced to the very depths )f proverty. His clothes were racked, his face unshaved, his hair Iona and matted and his feet unshod. As I passed him a look :Vf recognition came into his eye.

“ ‘Nye, old fellow, don’t you k now me? Don’t You know Abel P, Jones, who was your class­mate at college?’

“ ‘What. Jones! Is it really you? Well, well, what can I do for you?’’

“ ‘For heaven’s sake, help me I am starving. Lend me half a dollar. ’

“I felt in my pockets. They were empty. I had no money xnvself. But a bright thought flashed my mind.

“ ‘Abel, I can’t lend you the half-dollar: I haven’t got it. But !ook here. I ’ll tell you what I will do: I ’ll let you publish my next book. ’

Gentlemen, that was just a year ago; and this month Abel P Jones sent me an invitation to go to Europe with him in his steam racht”

The Lash of a Fiendwould have been about as wel­come to A. Cooper of Oswego, N Y., as a merciless lung-racking cough that defied all remedies foi years. “I ‘; was most troublesomel at night,” he writes, “nothing helped me till I used Dr. King’s) New Discovery which cured mei completely. I never cough at| night now.” Millions know its matchless merit for stubborn colds, obstinate coughs, ' sore lungs, la grippe, asthma, hemrrh- age, crough, whooping cough* or hayfever.

Rural Free Delivery*Charleston News and Courier.

We are heartily glad that Con - ] gressman Finley, on the best members the South has in the House of Represntatives, has succeeded in securing an additio­nal half million dollars for rural

m S ^ n ^ iir - b r C ^ t ^ t Smith- j delivery. Whatever changes field, last week entered a sub-j maybe necessary in the conduct mission for murder in the second ^he Postoffice Department,degree. Albert and Alfred were sentenced to 30 years in the peni­tentiary and John E. 10 years. Troy Pearce was discharged.

An order was signed last week by Judge B. K Long, at States­ville, in the case of Nellie B. Lak­ey, administratrix of J. A. Lak­ey vs. J. H. Hamlin and M. C. Teague, of Winston-Salem; ap­pointing A. F. Sams receiver for the Winston Automobile company and authorizing him to take over the property of the concern as soon as he files bond in the sum of $2,000.

It is learned that there is a very strong probability that Col. Harry Skinner, who has just re­tired from the United States dis­trict attorneyship for Eastern district of North Carolina, will open a law office in Raleigh. His many admirers are bringing strong pressure to bear on him to do this. It is probable that the law firm of Skinner & Whid- bee will maintain law offices both in Raleigh and at Greenville.

After spending a restful night in his cell in, the county jail at Elizabethtown, Bladen county, Henry Spivey, the last man to be hanged in North Carolina, walk­ed to the gallows, some distance away on the jail yard last Friday to meet his doom. While/ being taken to the gallows he held out his hand to Sheriff Clark to see that he had his nerve. He was very attentive to the actions of the guards while the rope was being adjusted but did not make any statement.

whatever economies may be es-; sential, we cannot afford at this i time to cripple the work which; the rural free delivery is doing, There are, we believe, 40,000 reg­ular routes now in operation in ; this service in various parts of j the country, and no greater edu- j catiorsal force is at work in Arne- j rica today. In this state the! benefits of the improved school; facilities which have been enjoy-: ed during the last ten or fifteen : years in the smaller towns andir:; rural communities are just begin -; ing to manifest themselves, and; the people for whom the rural! free delivery was established are j f better able with every year that ; | passes to enjoy the privileges i la which it confers. Congressman Finley showed a few days ago I that in time saved to the people | served by the rural free delivery ; and in the increased value of the j lands traversed by its routes, the j rural free delivery has been wcrch; hundreds of million of dollars to) the country. More than tha1, j however, it has had a di tiv c :j influence in helping to make ru ral life attractive.

But the rates are based on the losses. The total cost of fires in the United States in 1908, excluding that of forest fires and marine losses (in them­selves extensive), amounted to the enormous sum of over |456,485.000, a tax on the American people exceeding the total value of all the gold, silver, copper and petroleum produced in the United States that year.

The estimated cost.of new buildings erected in the entire country for the same year was $1 ,000,000,000 Thus it will be seen that nearly one- half of the value of all the new buildings constructed within one year are destroyed by fire.

Rates cannot be lower as long as this awful waste con tinues, but you that read this can help to reduce this waste, by seeing at least every six

months that your chimneys , are safe, that matches are kept in metal safes, that no oily rags are al­lowed to remain in the house, that attics are from rubbish, t hat no ashes are piled beside the house or left in wooden vessels, and above all realize what a dangerous enemy you have should it once get start­ed.

Out of the millions of dol­lars that will go up in smoke in 19 10 your home, furniture barn, store, m ill or shop may be one to ) contribute to this ash heap.
