CONFESS TO MURDER.
Man Who Dies in Natchez, Miss., May
Have Been John Lee.
Raleigh, April 30.—“ Sam Lee,” who
died at Natchez, Miss., April 1, alter
confessing tnat he had committed a
murder shortly after the C vii War,
according to a letter received by Sec
retary ol: State W. N. Everett from
Captain C. L. Kearnes, of the.-Salva
t“o'l 1 vrmy, may have been John W.
—ee, Halifax county, who was alleged
to have killed a woman about 45
years ago and escaped, J. H. Norman,
Halifax, has advised the Salvation Ar
my officers in the Mississippi city.
Secretary Everett received a better
Lroni Captain Kearnes today in which
it was stated that Norman’s descrip
tion of John W. Lee, as being “75 o
SO years, light complexion, scar on his
face, a little slow of speech and had
i very little to say,” was identical of
I Sam Lee. Captain Kearnes wrote the
I secretary of state several weeks a° - o
asking for assistance in identifying
| the man.
j _ Norman in his letter to the Salva
■ lion Army man, said Lee was alleged
[ to have slain a woman and escaped
j A man thought to be bee later was
I arrested in Texas, but the sheriff of
I Halifax went to the town and failed
| to identify him as the man wanted for
j murder, Norman continued.
I Lee was a merchant and a farmer
s of Terrapine, N. C., when the crime
| was said to have been committed. The
| man “owned much property in this
| county,” Norman asserted, giving the
I name of a close relatives from whom
| information could be obtained by the
i secretary or the Salvation Army cam
tain.

night. Rev. Marvin Caveness, who did

means altogether lost.”
k Just before the sermon five mask

‘Klan marched silently into the church
i and up to the chancel. The leader
i handed Mr. Caveness an envoi ope in
which was a donation of forty dollars.
1 The five men then silently withdrew.
f hhe meeting was greatly enjoyed
and well attended by the people of
1 this community. Mr. Caveness made
i a number of friends, and his coming to
Apex will mean much towaid the
moral uplift of our town.

Mr. Colin G. Shaw, Editor.
The Weekly Herald. [I
I have just received my Weekly A
Herald and see by your note, with j:
much regret, your reasons for having i *
to reduce the size of your paper name- %
ly, that you are rot rereivmg the fin- i
ancial support of the merchants, citi- 1 !
zens and business concur sos your 3
community. I think this a very serf- ji
our mistake of all concerned and es- ;
pedal ly for your good little city. A
good live newsy newspaper is the Jj
greatest asset any community ca . >
have and in these days of progress ed 'j
vertisement is absolutely necessary in 1
every kind of business. In a thriving >
little town like Siler City the mayor
and city council, board of trade, min
isters of the gospel, church organiza
tions, and in fact every man, woman *>
and child should back up a good, dea~ <
newspaper for it is the true baromrt- j
er and life of a city. Merchants |
should judiciously advertise their \
wares and will receive full value for ]
so doing, besides ehlping to keep the <
paper up to full standards. The far- \
' mens of Chatham county need a good I
paper to give them the daily news and \
also market reports etc. Chatham \
county has forged to the front very j
rapkllv in the past 10 years in good <
road building which has opened up al- \
most every part of the county to the \
centers of trade can now market \
in a couple of hours what) it took all J
day and with a little “John Henry” i
can go to market and get back be- j
fore they would have hard I '/ gotten j
started a few years ago. Your soil is
good, roads fine, the people the be t
on earth, so why not have and sun
port a good newspaper that gives the ,
latest news.
Sincerely hope that the P’ood busi- !
ness men and citizens of Siler Citv )
will rally to your support in a whole- j
hearted manner and thereby enable I
you to go hank to your 8-nage weekly. >
It is a well-known fact that the edit- jj
ing and running of a newspaper in a I
small town is a hazardous undertak- '
ing financially and unless fully sup
ported by sll its ppfrons bv advertis- |
ing and subscriptions it will be a fail- >
ure and have to suspend or reduce ;i
size to make ends meet. I hope you -j
will not have to do either. You have >
my best wishes and I wish I was ;
there as a citizen to add mv little !
mite. It pays to advertise—the more ,
so when business is dull.
Mv best wishes for you and the :
Weekly Herald. Your ;j

O. I. Hinson, Pastor.
The poet, Henry Wadsworth Long
fellow, must have had some lion cor
puscles in his blood when he wrote the
“Psalm of Life”. Listen to him:
Tell me not in idle numbers,
Life is but an empty dream.
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what the;, 7 seam.
So he says:
Let us then be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate,
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
He. believed in a two-eyed soul,
wide awake to the daily tasks that are
ever before us. Christ taught us re
ligion of aggressive work. He said:
“I must work.” He spent 30 years in
preparation for his work and then He
worked day and night in an effort to
bring a fuller life to the people.
