Gets Life Imprisonment. Information received from , Suffolk Tuesday states that Coleman Merrltt and WiHie Lee Goodson, who answer ed to a charge of murder there on Monday morning, upon submission were given life imprisonment In the. State penitentiary. This is the case wherein the two boys went to Virgin la the past summer, stole a Ford au tomoolle, and killed the driver. They] were caught here some weeks after i and carried back to Virginia to await trial. The car was recovered and re- | turned to the owner. ^ Rev. C. F. Thompson, Circulation Manager of the Biblical Recorder^ of Raleigh, was a visitor to Loulsburg | the past week. . THE REASON "WHY. Op September 8th we notified our subscribers through these columns tbat 011 account of tlie conditions of the paper market and the rapidly advancing prices of newspaper we would probably liaTe to drop many of our subscribers, who were not paid up, from our list, We found tbat beginning with the next week It wan neces sary to begin to drop some of them. This Is the reason why so many of you have not been receiving your paper- -bceauso you are way behind In your payments on subscription. We are mailing yon this issue, as n.iintltteatlon that unless yon come In and pay up, or send your amount we will have to drop jou entirety, however this action will not relieve you of the amount yon row owe as we shall (Txpeet you to pay same. We regret very much having to take such action, but publishing a newspaper Is no gnme or play, and It Is entirely Impossible for us to buy paper and pay our force with yonr promises of pay In the future, all of which wr* accept with the greatest confidence, but they are no good when our cash gives out. Some expect us to send them a formal bill of their subscription, but Oils Is unreasonable, as the cost of such work would .be .greater " than our receipts from same. Again we remind you that your bill la on the label of yonr paper and can he found each week.. . For In stance If after your name 9-81-18 appears on your label yon may know tbat your subscription Is paid to September (the ninth month) 91, 1918, and wonld show a balance due of frMX> to the same date Id 1911 Am we have said, we don't want to have to drop a single name from our llsts^nd with the prices of cotton and tobaccb as high as they are together with the high orlecs of otlicr country pro' duce, we know there Is no reason why every man In the state cant pay a little subscription account. We feel that w? have done you fair, we liuve carried you through the summer Into the fall when good prices prevail and now we want all of yon to yhow your appreciations by coming In like ?M paying a p. Remember that other people will have tho same opinion of yon for not paylag yonr accounts that yon wopld have of the* for not paying yoa what they owe yia. Call In and see ns next week that you may not Ml" a single ferae. . \ ' J - * Cm ? 1.'- t. vi- aA* MR. R. B. WHITE AJJEPTS CHAIR IN LAW DEPAETMqpF W. F. COLLEGE Announcement via made thU that Mr. R. B. White, of this ,i bad been elected to a chair Id the I department ol Wake Forest Coile and liad accepted the position. White hag had the offer under cons eratlon (or some time, but not last Saturday did he fdliy decide accept.

We understand that, while Whlto will enter upon hla work at i early date, he will retain hla connect tlon for tlie rest of the year with law firm of Blckett, White and lone, and will glre certain time to that work. It Is probable that Mr. White, 1b a brother of the noted baptist ] acher, Dr. John E. White, is as wtdri i * lawyer, still be will he longer by tire people of | l'for his' efficient work i 1 S u pe rlutanden t of Public | . Taking, charge of the coun of schools . In 1899.

This ( has been growing so rapidly i past years that it has become to increase its HON B. Riir ("E WHITE Professor of Lair, Wake Forest College | ly known throughout the county a * any iJTan in it and can number as | many friends. This is proven by ti?e \ fact that he represented his county in the State Senate for two terms. So well were the people pleased with his representation in 1903 that they sent him again in 1915. It was during his first term in the Senate that North Carolina felt the beginning of its great educational wave, and we do J not hesitate to say that Mr. White was a factor in this movement. Since the year 1908 Mr. White rtfcs been associated with Attorney-Gener al Bickett in the prac\ice of law ? which made one of the strongest law firms in the state; and as manager of Mr. Blckett's campaign for Governor Mr. White has shown himself t6 be a skillful politician .

Little John was taken to St.- Agnpi hospital at Raleigh, where it was learned that his injuries were not se rious, while the ^ftglcTa placed flte g*U to JaJl to await the outcome. From what we could learn the dispute cone about over a dollar and ended to the shoo tint. The affray took place on Main street la Croat ot Dr. ; I Tiill r force. The illness of Prof. Timber lake hag made it necessary to enlarge the faculty at once, and, until Prof. Timberlake recovers, the. entire wor'?t will be conducted by Dr. Gulley and Profv White. In selecting Mr. White for this po sition the Wake Forest Trustees have shown wisdom in choosing a man who haa proven himself both a successful teacher and careful student of the law; and we do not, hesitate to say that they could find no man better fit ted for the work. Indeed, the Wake Forest Trustees are to be commendect-i for Securing the service of so capable J a man; and. while we sincerely re gret to have to loose Mr. White, still we congratulate Wake Forest and the' Baptists of the State. Our loss will be their gain. Hawkins' cold drink stand. All par tie* were colored. The Metborilst f linrcli . Serrjees 'next Sunday at 11 A. M. and 7:8? P. M.. conducted by tlie pas tor.
