Rockefeller, is preparing for a ; great Festival of philanthropy, by i giving away all his millions before he dies. A few hundred thousand scattered around this office would enable us to oil the machinery and keep our lamps trimmed and burn ing. It seems that Congress helps most every industry excepting the newspaper and printing industry in some way or the other. We haven't noticed any decline in the price of newspaper since all this tariff revision has been going on and the practice of the government printing envelopes for nothing takes away from local printers mil lions of dollars a year. The Wilmington Star favors amending the liquor laws so the man wfv) buys liquor from a blind ttger, shall be equally guilty with the man whosellsit. This is exactly what ought to be done and there will be less selling. We do .not accurately remember, but our im pression is that Judge Boyd has so held in the United Slates court; at least one of these expert detec tives never makes any headway in a case where he is the chief wit ness. Judge Boyd holds that where a man sets to work to in duce and does induce another to violate the law he is equally guilty. Tack on this amendment advocated by the Star; it is a good one. A very good resolution to make is to attend exclusively to one's own business. The best way to get through the world pleasantly is to go straight ahead. One's own business is always more than he can attend to perfectly. But we must not limit the maxim to mere ly selfish pursuits. It is our busi ness to do our duty in our callings. This is the chief object and to it the making of money and the winning of fame are merely incidental. The business of life is to be useful to your neighbors, to the church, to the country, to the race. Happily a man can manage all the demands of his legitimate business and not go a day's journey to do it. He can perform all these duties for humanity near and far, without leaving his own home.

I BETTERMENT COLUMN. Dental Examination of School Children. Below is shown a blank which has been prepared to record the results of ilie dental examination i of the school children of the Wei- j don Public Schools. iThis blank is filled out at the time the exami nation of the child is made and is ; ! sent to the parem if the examina : tion shows the necessity of atten- j tion. ! On reliable authority it is staled that 90 per cent, of American ' school children have defective : teeth. This means that V children ; out of 10 need the attention of a demist. Bad leeih lead to a long train of physical ills, all of which can be prevenied or checked if taken in time. Bui why wan un til the teeth are decayed before starting to work on them ? To say nothing of the pain and suffer ing produced by decaying teeth, the expense of patching them up is not small. Surely no one thinks that teeth filled with gold are beau tiful; on the contrary, it is a very conspicuous sign of neglect and in difference, either intentional or un intentional. Nothings adds so much to one's appearance as good, clean teeth; the prettiest mouth otherwise is shorn of its beauty. And the best way to secure this result is to use preventive dentis ty. Why not spend S2 and have your teeth examined and cleaned twice a year, and thus ward off any serious decay? It pays in dol lars and cents, if in no other w ay. This work has been undertaken by Dr. W. J. Ward without any cost whatsoever to pupil or parent. His examination is free, and puts no one under the slightest obliga- j tion to him. He is making the ex- amination for the school authori- j ties and the blanks are sent out from the school. You can have the work done by any dentist you may choose, or you may ignore the whole matter. We cannot be lieve, however, that any parent will knowingly allow his child's t.'eth to go to decay. Dr. Ward is deserving of public thanks for what he is doing for the children of Weldon. We take this occasion to extend an expression of appre ciation from the Superintendent of our schools. The form of the blank is as fol lows ; i WELDON Pl'BLIC SCHOOLS. hKNTAJ. KAMINAT!'N.

I'owell, a Merchant of Scotland Neck, Becomes Ex cited and Shoots at Close Range. C. W. DDNN. Officer Charles W, Dunn, vic tim of Powell's pistol shot, died Monday afternoon at half past one o'clock. A Scotland Neck special to the j News and Observer dated March ! 4ih says: i "About 2:30 o'clock this after- j noon, on Ma n street, near Wool- j ard's stables, the deputy sheriff of i the county and chief of police of Scotland Neck, I". W. Dunn; Rep- resentative A. Paul Kitchin, of Scotland Neck, and Senator 1:. L j Travis, of Halifax, were all shot1 by I:, li. I'owell, Sr. J From the best information ob- tainable, it seems thai Powell ask-1 ed Travis why he did not reply to 1 a letter. Travis replied that some time i having elapsed since receiving the I letter, he did not remember its con-! i tents. i Kitchin laved his hand on : Powell and requested him "not to ; get excited," w hereupon Powell j drew a revolver and shot Kitchin ! and 1 ravis in nuick succession I Officer Dunn then started toward Powell and while turning, was shot somewhere in his left side, near the back. The bullet which struck Kitchin at close range entered the face be low the eye and was later taken j out below the ear by surgeons, j Senator Travis was shot across the j mouth, several teeth were knocked i out and his tongue was split, j Dunn was hit below the left shoul-' der blade, the bullet ranging up wards, i Powell went to his store, a short distance away, got a shotgun and ! then went to his home. j I Messrs. Kitchin and Travis are not I considered seriously wounded. Of ficer Dunn's condition is more se rious. I The parties wounded are prom- 1 inent and well known throughout the State. Drs. Clark, Smith and Wimberly attended the wounded. Dr. Furgerson, of Halifax, came down and took Mr. Travis home. Later Powell surrendered and was taken to Halifax and placed in jail. No one except the parties in the ; ! matter know of the contents of the letter in question in the shooiing and there is only rumor as to what i it contained. Some lime ago a son of Mr. Powell was in some trouble, being tried at Halifax for the cutting of a man. In the trial ! some sort of a compromise was i reached and the young man was j i acquitted. In that trial Messrs. j Travis and Kitchin assisted the j young man. All that is known of the letter is that Mr. Powell want ed Mr. Travis to tell him why he had not replied to the letter. Both Messrs. Travis and Kitchin are known throughout the State, and prominent in social, legal and political circles. Mr. A. P. Kitchin is a brother of Governor W. W. Kitchin, and Congressman Claude Kitchin, and lor the past two ses sions has represented Halifax county in the House of Represen tatives of North Carolina, while Mr. E. L. Travis, who is the coun ty chairman of the Democratic Ex ecutive Committtee of Halifax and a member of the Democratic State Executive Committee, repre sented his district in the State Sen ate, having previously been a member of the General Assembly and one time chairman of the board of directors of the State's prison," Sunday morning Mr. Dunn was reported to be dying and as a mat ter of precaution it was thought best to remove Powell to Raleigh for safe keeping. Officers passed through here with the prisoner Sunday. Powell did not raise his eyes from the floor the whole time he waited at the station for the Seaboard Air Line train, but would frequently place his handkerchief to his bowed head and at times ap peared to be weeping, tears of re morse for the deadly manner in which he had used his pistol upon some of the best known and most prominent citizens of Halifax coun ty, and without the least provoca tion, so far as can be learned, ex cept that Mr. Travis had failed to reply t a letter. People crowded around the sta tion while Powell was here, all eager to get a glimpse of the man who used his gun so freely upon prominent citizens. Powell was in charge of Jailer J. A. Whitehead and deputies who accomgnjed. im us far as Nuilina. where the j prisoner was met by the Sheriff of i Halifax county and taken in charge ! from there to Raleigh. i C. W. Dunn, a brave and fear-; less officer, a victim of Powell's pistol shot, fired, it is alleged, with malice, died at his home in Scot land Neck Monday afternoon at half past one o'clock. The following from the state ment prepared l. Mayor Liver-1 man, of Scotland Neck, throws ad- dttioii.il light upon the sad trage- dy : "Mr. Dunn had on several oc casions been called upon to serve warrants upon Powell's son (Aquilla) and on one occasion a few months ago as an officer caused Powell to desist cursing on the streets. "It seems that this was the cause of his malice towards Dunn. "His feeling towards Travis was probably caused by Travis' failure to reply to a letter referred to. Travis had never read Powell's letter. "A search today by Mr. W. I:. Daniel in Mr. Travis' office at j Halifax brought the letter to light; in a pile of papers, lividently ii 1 had been overlooked by Travis, as it was unopened, and Travis was innocent of its contents. It is known that at the last August court Powell had accosted Mr, Travis about the letter. The letter in full read as follows: "Mr. Travis Please let me know by letter as soon as you re ceive this if you are employed against my son Aquilla P. Powell in a small affray comes off this court? If not let me know what day 1 can see you by coming to Halifax next week. Any day will suit me except on Saturday. "Resp. II. E. POWELL." "Dunn w as a brave and fearless officer, one whose place cannot be filled in this community and one of the best by long experience and high courage, and it is unjust to his memory that there should be a suggestion that he was 'retreating,' as appeared in Sunday's papers. "Powell is not a man of proper ty. He and his oldest son (Ed.) run a little store in the town, car rying not to exceed $300 stock. The store is located about fifty yards south of the place of the tragedy on the same side of the street. "Powell was accustomed to make violent ihreats. While some con-1 sidered him a desperate and dan-' gerous man, others looked upon him as a bluffer or brag. Fie was a drinking man. He has the reputation of being an accurate pistol marksman. "The statements heretofore made in the papers that there was no at tempt to arrest Powell are errone ous. Immediately after the shoot ing, he went to his store with his pistol in his hand, got his shotgun ! and went to his home. "An officer was sent at once to guard his house. Parties were at j once deputized to make the arrest, 1 but before it could be done some lady members of his family came to me and said that Powell would kill any one that came and tried 1 to arrest him, but that if the au thorities would not proceed to make the arrest with force they would persuade him to give up his arms and surrender. "A guard of several were at once j pieced about Powell's premises to i ! prevent his escape. j i "Finally, without the necssity of j ! forcing his arrest, he surrendered, j and on reaching the street was im-; ; mediately handcuffed and was af- terwards committed to iail at Hali fax." The funeral of Mr. Dunn took place Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Quite a number of el-; uon ciiuciis imcnucu iiic iuiici ui. Mr. Paul Kitchin has been re- moved to a hospital where he is re ceiving every attention. Mr. Travis is at his home at Halifax and is re ported to be doing fairly well.
