De rtt.s in ia 
Last Thursday at his home in
Mingo township, Mr. Jessie
Wilson, one of the counties best
citizens was called from earth
in his 84th year. He was the
father of Mr. J. E.Wilson, who
is well known to the people of
Dunn, having much interest in
our town. Mr. Wilson died
from the effects of an operation
performed on him some few
months ago in Clinton which
was mentioned in this paper at
the time. He was a member of
the Free Will Baptist church,
and one of the founders of Min
go Lodge in Sampson county.
He was a good man and will be
greatly missed in his communi
ty. A Masonic funeral will be
hekl at some future day We
extend sympathy to the bereav
ed relatives in this hour of
grief.
MR. G. W. MCI. AM It.
At his home in Minge town

MR. EDWARD HOT.LY.
Sunday morning at his home

quiet, law-abiding citizen. A

and a man highly respected by
all who knew him. The fu

Rev. Wiley Page Monday eve

Education and Development.
Who says that North Caroli
na people do not believe in
higher education ? Take a trip
over the Southern Railway from
Raleigh to Winston and you
will find the tallest and hand
somest buildings in the towns
and villages along the route to
be, not railroad stations, not
great warehouses, not commer
cial buildings, but—school
houses. As the train steams
over the hills and whirls past
the different stations you count
from the car windows as many
as ten colleges and universities
located iu the counties of
Wake, Durham, Alamance and
Forsyth. There are more than
two thousand students at these
institutions and they are of
course, doing a great work, not
only in North Carolina, but for
the South as well.
Is it not surprising that
along this same route may be
counted something like half the
cotton mills and tobacco facto
ries in North Carolina and that
in these half dozen counties live
the financial kings of the State
—the Dukes, the Carrs, the
Holts, the Fries. These men
are friends of education. They
have poured out thousonds up
on thousands of dollars to build
up and equip the University of
North Carolina, Trinity College,
and the two colleges at Greens
boro.—Sanford Express.

The Kind You Have Always Bought
DUNN vs. SMITHFIELD.
A Professional Ball Game.
Last Thursday about 7o of
the population of the thriving
town of Smith field came down
to Dunn to see their "crack
team" (which was picked up
all over the State, and compos
ed of the best players) defeat
Dunn. The following places in
the State were represented on
the visiting team: Wilming
ton's left-handed pitcher, the
••$25" man, who pitched a good
game, Selma, Fremont, Smith
tiold, other places we know net
where. Two of the visiting
team are old professional play
ers. Honeycutt played first
base several years on the south
ern league. Foreman, a league
pitcher at present, has played
on the northern league for a
number of years. These two
composed the battery for the
visiting team. They were back
ed by strong fielders and made
it the most interesting for our
team of any played during the
season. While Dunn claims no
professional players she has
some that will compare most
favorably with those who play
as professionals, and any team
that bucks up against our boys
soon find the truth of this asser
tion.
It was published in the
Smithfield Herald that Dunn
had a $"25 man. This is an er
ror on the part of the reporter.
Also, that Dunn's first score was
on a foul ball. We have the au
thority of both umpires, Patter
son of Smithfield and Young of
Dunn, that it was a fair ball.
The game was one of the best
we have ever witnessed from ei
ther professionals or amateurs.
Harry Jordan, who pitched
for the hoiu e team, is
one of the best "twirlers" in
the State and his playing on
this occasion was all that could
be desired, while Charlie Ran
dall, who caught behind the bat
for Dunn, contributed largely
to the succesof the team. Win
nie Jordan, Dunn's star short
stop, played fine in-field and
made two of the three runs
[which gave Dunn the game.
Great enthusiasm on both
sides prevailed during the entire
game. Smithfield's "rooters"
raised "merry cain," but Dunn
raised them one, and towards
the close of the game no an
swering shout came from Smith
field. However, good feeling
prevailed throughout the entire
game, and the visitors returned
home with the conviction that,
they had beeii.honestly and fair
ly defeated.
Our town people enjoy good
games liko this, and we hope to
have others like it before the
season is over. The score stood
as follows :
Dunn 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 I—3
Smithfield. 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 o—2j

As the time will soon be here
to elect a county Superintend
ent of public schools and as the
law says that he shall be a prac
tical teacher and as our present
Superintendent is not a teacher,
we wish to present the name of
J. R. Baggett to the board of
education for that place. He is
now and has been for the last
three years the able and most
faithful assistant teacher of this
institution and will continue
here for several years to come.
Prof. Baggett is one of the best
men we have ever known, a
pure Democrat and a christian
gentleman in the truest sense
of the word. He is a faithful
worker in the prayer meetings
and Sunday schools at both
churches here, and the writer
could not, after associating with
him for two years, tell to what
church lio belongs. We had to
ask him to find out. The board
of education of Harnett cannot
elect a better man or one that
the teachers of the county would
like better than Prof. Baggett.
All that know him will bear us
up in what we have said. TTe
would make a Superintendent
that the people of Harnett coun
ty would be proud to claim.
MR. A. J. IJYRD DEAD.
On last Monday evening at
3:30 o'clock this commuunitv
was shocked to hear of the sud
den death of Mr. A. J. Byrd at
his home near here. He was
86 years, 2 mos. and 10 days
old. He had been in the best
of health for a long time, in
fact had never been sick much
in his life. He had been able
to work up to almost the last
day. The day prior to his death
he walked over hi s plan
tation and said he felt very
well. After eating his dinner
Monday he went into the house
for rest and complained of hurt
ing at his heart. He died while
sitting in his rocking chair sur
rounded by his family, heart
trouble cause of death. He
lived a peaceable and quiet life,
•always re ady to help and ac
commodate his friends and
neighbors in health and in sick
ness, none were more faithful.
He was and had been for a
number years a faithful mem
ber of the Methodist church.
He leaves a wife and six chil
dren and a host of relatives and
friends to mourn his death. He
was a faithful husband, loving
father, kind neighbor, and
trusted friend.
He has fought the fight, kept
the faith and has gone to wear
his crown and receive the wel
come plaudit : "Well done, thou
good and faithful servant, enter
thou into the joy of the Lord."
His life was an open book be
fore all who knew him, his
Bible being his friend, compan
ion and guide. He has gone to
his blest reward and thus the
happiness of the dead who die
in the Lord is his now iu all its
fullness and glory.
May his sorrowing ones look
forward to a blessed re-union
jwith him in the haven of eternal
! rest on high.
His remains were interred
Tuesday evening at bin houie
surrounded by a large congre
gation who had assembled to
pay the last tribute of respect
to t.'iis great and good man.
SNOOKS.
A Significant Speech.
Among the delegates from the
New York Chamb*r of Com
merce who were banqueted last
Wednesday night by the Lon
don Chamber of Commerce was
Mr. A. Barton Hepburn, lie
was also one of the speaker? of,
the occasion. While his re
marks were not particularly
brilliant, they were decidedly
significant, as the following ox
tract will show :
"Over two years ago Presi
dent McKinley, in a >peech in
Boston, said : 'We are not talk
ing about taritl now," and in his
recent trip across the continent
lie made no allusion to the tariff,
but greatly emphasized the ne
cessity of cultivating outside
markets, and the chairman of
the Republican campaign com
mittee has announced that the
tariff will be taken from all so
called trust commodities, and
ability to produce has so largely
outgrown our capacity to con
sume that the 'open door' is
rapidly becoming the shibbol
eth of America."
If these words mean anything
they must mean that in Mr.
| Hepburn's opinion the Republi
can party, of which lie is a
prominent leader is about to en
ter upon a policy of tariff relax
ation.
There are many indications
that this is commending itself
more and more to the wisdom
and prudence of the Republican
party.
At the last session of con
gress Mr. Babcock, chairman
of the Republican congressional
campaign committee, introduc
ed a bill providing that, the tar
ill'shall betaken off from any
article the manufacture and sale
of which may be controlled by a
trust.
The same bill will be re-intro
duced in the next congress and
Mr. Babcock has the assurance
of many of his Republican col
leagues that they will support
it.
John Sherman more than 10
years ago proposed that plan in
the United States senate, but it
met with the almost solid an
tagonism of the Republicans iu
that body. But now many Re
publicans are openty advocating
the same idea and President
McKinley has on several occa
sions spoken in a way that indi
dicates his approval of it.
It is true that a number of
prominent Republican hoot the
very suggestion, but it cannot
be doubted that a very large
and influential element of the
party favors the modification of
the Dingley tariff in the direc
tion of lower duties.
A large number of manufact
urers have testified before the
industrial commission that du
ties on the articles they make
are unnecessarily high. The
protective tariff policy is weaker
now than it has been at any
time in the past 30 years and is
losing strength steadily.
The Republican party will
probably have a serious wran
gle over it, but we think it can
be safely predicted that the
