sold for 32 cents per pound. Our

While a little ,late in reporting an
event of so great importance we must
say the marriage of Rev. B. Vaughn
Furgason of Reidsville, a recent
graduate of Wake Forest College and
Miss Willie Maie Reynolds of Orange
Grove on Monday Sept. 2nd was the
crowning social event of the season in
our quiet little village. The church
was beautifully decorated for this
happy occasion and as Miss Helen
Reynolds sister of the bride, played
the wedding march the ushers were;
Messrs. Ernest Reynolds, Z. V. Cates,
A, G. Crawford and Mr. Futgason,
brother of the groom marched dovfn
the three aisles to the arch which was
tastefully decorated, next down the
center aisle came the Rev. Mr. Eller
of Danville, Va., before whom the
sacred vows were said, then Master
Tropel Reynolds of Charlotte nephew
of the bride very gracefully bore the
ring on a tiny silver waiter, followed
by the inaid of honor Miss Inez Rey
nolds of Raleigh sister of the bride,
who carried pink caronations. From
the North entrance came Mr. Fu»’gason
with the best man, Mr. Privette of the
Chicago University, and from the
South entrance leaning on the arm of
her father and carrying white carona
tions came this beautiful and lovely
bride and before the alter was given
away by her father. The bride and
groom left immedeately after the
ceremony for' Reidsville the home of
the groom. Mr. and Mrs. Furgason
will leave in a few days for the Baptist
Theological Seminary at Louisville,
Ky., where they will both better
prepare themselves for their Hfes work.
The many beautiful presents received
were an attest to the popularity of
this young couple. A large number of
visitors attended the wedding among
the number was Miss Mary Rankin of
Greensboro and Miss Ivy Coble of
Burlington who were special friends of
Miss Reynolds while at the State
Normal. A great host of friends wish
this popular couple a long and pros
perous life filled with the sweete.st joys.
Miss Ava Crawford will leave the
last of the week to take up her fiChool

Kesents His Dictation, I
We believe Mr. Bryan is a citizen of
Nebraska and not of North Caiolina.
Does not this fact in itself form a
reasonable basis for adverse comment
to; is there a State in the Union that
does not resent dictation from beyond
its borders?—Va, Pilot.
Bryan has stuck his mouth in a
number of things he had no business,
and this senatorial question is one of
them, and it is just as much one of
them as was his getting the Democratic
party to coalece with Butler. Any
one who wishes to may run after Bryan,
but as far as we are cmicemed we
believe him to be an insuffreable
selfish demagogue of the first water,
and we are by no means «lme in the
opinion. There are some of the best
Democrats in North Carolina that think
the same of him.
Two Hundred Killed
The death of Aviator Paul Peck, as
a result of trying to buck a gusty wind

killed while experimenting with a
glider at Rhinbow, Germany. Peck was
the ihirty-second aviator killed in
Americ|(, and the tenth killed in this
country this year. Of this number
five w^re killed since Aug. 1.

Edwards, for the love of whom Miss

had innocently led detectives to Des

he was returning to his boarding house
after having worked all day with a
paving gang. Just as he boarded a
street car, detectives and officers sur
rounded it. Edwards was trying to
escape by crawling through the front
end of the car, when officers caught
him. The arrest of Sidna Allen was
effected earlier in the dny,

home to meet Edwards whom she was
to wed that night according to an ar
rangement made when he visited her
in North Carolina. Detective Lucas
was at her heels. Allen was in an up-
jer room. When informed that visi
tors wanted to see him, he came down
stairs. As he did so Detective Lucas
covered him with a revolver and or
dered him to surrender. Allen hesi

A SWEEPING INVESTIGATION
Governor Kitchin Orders a
Rigid Inquiry into Condi
tions at Chapel HilU
All thit was mortal of Isaac William
Rand, the young University freshman
who was killed in a hazing episode on
the college athletic field early Friday
morning, was borne by loving hands to
the station Saturday afternoon and sent
to the boy*s home in Smithfield The
college bell tolled as the body was
being home to the station, the North
Carolina flag was at half mast while
the campus took an aspect of mourning.
Three of the sophomores alleged to be
guilty of the death o^ young Rand each
have made the $5,000 bond required;
the fourth is still in custody.
A sweeping investigation is to be
made of the tragic affair and of haz-
iiig practice at the State’s institution.
President Venable will make a full
statement of the case to the executive
council Monday at itc meeting.
A University Student Is
Killed From The Result of
Hazingr.
Another fatality was added to the
record list of college hazing early Thurs
day morning last, when young Isaac
William Rand was killed at the Univer
sity of North Carolina, death being due
to a horrible gash in his neck that
was inflicted by falling from a barrel
on which he' was being made to dance
by four sophomores
At about 1:31 in the morning A. C.
Hatch, Ralph W. Oldham, W. L.
Merrimon and A. H. Styron went to
the room occupied by young Rand and
his room mate, a young man by the
name of Wellons, both freshmen, and
told the boys to get op and come along
with them The freshmen were then
trotted to the athletic field by the four
sophomtres. A barrel was procured
and placed on its end to make a plat
form on which the victims of the
hazing were to perform their stunts.
Wellons was the first to be placed on
the barrel, and after he had complied
with the requests to sing, dance and cut
up other capers suggested by the
hazers, young Rand was called upon to
do some stunts. He was put on the
barrel and began his performance for
the ^ification of the four sophs, and
while he was dancing, the barrel was
overturned, throwing Rand to the
ground. He fell on a broken milk
bottle, the jagged glass penetrating
the left side of his neck, cutting a
gash several inches in length and
completely serving the jugular vein.
Seeing that Rand was hurt, the four
boys and Wellons started with him to
the dormitory building. When they
had reached the gymnasium they
realized that wound was serious, and
the sophomores fled, leaving the
freshman with his dying room mate.
Wellons began to call for help, and
soon aroused a student by the name of
Parsley, whom he sent after a doctor.
When medical aid arrived young Rand
was dead, death having come within
possibly six or seven minutes after
receiving the wound.
THE CORONER’S JURY VERDICT.
The official verdict of the coroner’s
jury is, “The jury finds that Isaac Wil
liam Rand, of Smithfield, came to his
death from a cut on the throat caused
by a fall from a barrel while foiced to
dance on the barrel by a party of haz
ers and the jury recommends that Ralph
W. Oldham, of Raleigh, W. L. Merri-
man, of Wilmington, A. C. Hatch, of
; Mt. Olive, and Arthur H. Styron, of
Wilmington, be held for investigation
by the grand jury of Orange county.’*
The solicitor fixed the bond at $5,000.

Wilson treats everyone with civility,
but he declines to be photographed, en
famille, with the Tammany Boss.—Va.
Pilot.
It can be reasonably assumed that if
Wilson' treats Murphy with civility
after his in augeration, or he does not
let Bryan do much of the dictation
around the White House, Bryan will
break with Wilson in less than six
months. But you want to believe that

The Kitchin Boosters.
The Observer has had in its pos
session for some weeks, a list of the
Kitchin job holders and pass toters
in North Carolina. W’e have not yet
found a day when we felt justified
in sacrificine the necessary news space
for its publication, for it is a long one,
strung out from Postell to Loggerhead
Inlet, and from Woodworth to Calabash
and yet the printing of the list would
give the people some light that would
open their eyes as to the source of the
Kitchin shouting. There are on it men
who draw salaries and tote f asses, and
men who get per diem and expenses,
but tote no passes. All split the air
for Kitchin, and the smaller the job
one holds, the more mouth he puts over
it. They all make a noise. Take away
these job holders and pass toters and
the Kitchin crowd would k)ck like a set
af p all-bearers.—Charlotte Observer.
