Thursday, September 10, 191: The white wifo of "Jack" John son, the heavy weiVht pugilist, eorn mited suicide Friday. What a pity she did not commit the act before marrying the negro. Prof. Chas. L Coon, of Wilson, who was nomir. ted on the North! Carolina Bull Moose ticket for the 1 office of superintendent of public in struction declines to accept the nom ination, saying that he shall vote for Wilson and Craig this year. Have you sent in your contribution to the Wilson campaign ftnd? We are told that money is badly needed with which to carry on the light againgt Taft and Roosevelt, repre senting the great money interests of this country. Mr. John R. Askew had the mis fortune to lose U;s saw mitt, located near Neal's station, by fire Thursday night of last week. The fire is sup posed to have originated in the boil er room. Besides the loss of the en gine and boiler, the saw and car riage, several thousand feet of .lum ber wrs destroyed. Mr. Askew says his loss will exceed ?2,"C0 with r.o insurance. This loss foils heavily upon Mr. Askw, but he has gone to work with a determination to buy new, repair and rebuild what was left, and that he hopes to be ready for wcrk again in a few week". Prlisyra Items. Palmyra, Sept. 16. Ms Sallie Lilley, who has been visiting her brother, Capt, F. L. Liiley, of Fen tress, Va., has returned home. Mrs. D. E. Mizzell was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Lilley Sunday. Mr. Woodberrv Alexander was the guest of Mr. Paul Holland Sun day afternoon. Miss Mobile Harrison was the guest of Miss Eva Holland Sunday. Misses Onie and Mizzell were the guest of Miss Sallie Liiley Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Davenport were the guest of Mrs. W. II. Hol land Sunday. Mr. LevuS to BalUmora. Mr. P. A. Lewis leaves today for Baltimore where he will enter the Johns Hopkins Hospital for an ope ration, and while he is gone his store will be closed. Mr. Lewis states that he thinks he will be gone sbout two weeks, and will continue busi nest on his return. It will be recalled, Mr. Lewis was snot some time ago ciuring an argu ment with Mr. L. E. Fouatam. For some days past Mr. Lewis' physi cians, Drs. S. P. Bass and S. N. Har rell, have known an operation was necessary and today Dr. Harrell ac companied the injured man to Balti more. It seems that the bullet grazed a famoral artery causing an annurisrn of so delicate nature that Mr. Lewis' physicians referred him to Dr. Finney for the operation a3 soon as he could be moved to Balti more. Tarboro Southerner, Sept. 12th. Draper's X Roads Items Draper's X Roads, Sept. 16 The crop conditions are the poorest we have ever seen. The farmers are picking cotton rie;ht nlonjr, .but it certainly is cominr? in short. Land that produced from 1,200 to l.HOO pounds of seed cotton last year will not produce more than half that amount this year, while the corn crop is the shortest since 1881 and peanuts are yery little better in pro portion to other crops. As far as we can see just now, unless prices are very good the people are going to be f urt her behind this fall than in many years. Mr. J. M. Browning is improving from a very severe case of chills. Protracted meeting commenced at Turkey Branch the second Sunday, but owing to so much sickness in the community it was decided to post pone it until some other time more suitable. The Sunday school at Turkey Branch seems to be reviving. Meeting commenced at Hickory Chapel on the second Sunday and continued throujrh Ihe week. CASTORS A Fcr Infants and Children.

Whitehead Cemp'y, DRUGGISTS, Typewriters Given Away. The Emerson Typewriter Company of Woodstock, lib, have recently given awav over 400 of the highest grade, wholy visible Emerson Type writers made in the world. They have gone into every state and ter ritory in the United States. There may be some in your town. They are giving them away everywhere to men, women, boys and girls, over IB years of age, on surprisingly lib eral condition51. If you c"uld make any use of a $100 typewriter, providing it did not cost you even one cent, then in a letter cr on n postal card addressed to Frank L. Wilder, President, Woodstock, lib, simply pay, "Mail me all your Free Offer?," and bv re- turn mail you will receive t heir Frfe Offers, the names of over 400 who 'nave recentlj' received typewriters free, and you will learn on what easy conditions you can get one of their typewriters free right away. The Emerson Typewriter is one of the highest grade, wholly visib'e typewriters made in the world. Many who have used the "Emerson" and other makes pronounce the "Emerson" ruperior to any $100 typewriter on the market. It is a wholly visible machine, has every new, up-to-date feature, looks like other high grade $100 typewriters, though it is selling just now at rn astonishingly low price and on terms of no money with order, trial free in your own home. Nothing to pay at first, and after a thorough trial, 10 cents a day until paid. The "Emer son" has every new improvement, universal keyboard, back spacer, tabulator, two-color ribbon, every thing the best; is the ideal machine for beginners as well as for the'most expert typists and stenographers; just the typewriter for the smallest or lai'gest office. If you could possibly make any use of a high grade typewriter, even though it didn't cost you one cent of money, or if you would like the agency in your town on a plan by which you could make big money, or if.you would like a position with the company, then be sure, on a postal card or in a letter addressed to Frank L.'
