A Pleasant Caller
Mr. K. C. Beddingfield of Wake
County a member of the N. C.
Corporation Commission was in
our town Tuesday. He was in
vestigating the success of the
"shoo-fly" train put on as a tesult
of the hearing before the Com
mission here one year ago. Mr.
Beddiugfield was highly pleased
with the appreciation shown by
the people in Williamston and this
whole section of the State of the
(Commission's order. 4 He belives
conditions have fullv justified our
promises and predictionsv and the
wisdom of the Commission.
Mr. Beddingfield is thoroughly
familiar with the business situation
in North Carolina and comparative
ly speaking says we have every
reason to be proud. He has little
to say concerning the railroad
litigation but tslks interestingly
concerning freight rates for the
State explaining many sources of
trouble.
Mr. Beddingfield left in the af
ternoon for Rocky Mount. He is
investigating the condition of the
track and roadbed on the Plymouth
Branch. „
Roanoke Lodge No. 89, I* O. O. F.
Last night in the Masonic Lodge
room the I. O. 0. F. was institut
ed by the District Deputy W. F.
Evans of Greenville, assisted by
the Robersonville Lodge. There
are about thirty-five charter mem
bers.
About thirty of the members of
the Robersonville Lodge came down
to do the work of initiation. The
work was excellent, some of the
old Odd Fellows say that they had
never seen it done better. After
the installation of the officers: J.
C. Crawford, Noble Grand; W. C.
Manning, Vice Grand; R. J. Peel,
Recording Secretary; J. E. Pope,
Financial Secretary; C. D. Cars
tarphen, Trersurer, the lodge was
closed and all present adjourned to
the Atlantic Hotel where a ban

of the hotel bad decorated the
dining room with ferns, evergreens
and potted plants which was indeed
attractive. About two o'clock the

THE ENTERPRISE, WILLI AMSTON, N. C., NOV
Case Dismissed
At the trial Tuesday of Mr. M.
Jordan of Beaufort County, l>efore
Magistrate Godwin, on the charge
of forgery, the case was dismisse.i,
the opinion of the magistrate be
ing no probable cause. The case
attracted a great deal of attention
and the court room was crowded.
About eight years ago a Mr.
Arthur Hardison, agent for the
Roanoke R. R. & Lumber Co.,
took an option for five years on
three kinds of timber on 7 acres of
land belonging to Mr. C. S. ,Mod
liu. I,ater Mr. M. Jordan, another
agent of the Roauoke R. R. &
Lumber Co-. and also Notary Pub
lic, carried a deed to Mr. Modlin
fot his signature. The deed called
for 10 years and five kinds of tim
ber 01142 acres of laud ownd by Mr.
Modlin, wpe claimed that he had
not sold this timber under the terms
mentioned and brought suit against
the lunil>er company and recovered
damages.
Now conies the charge of forgery
against Mr. Jordan, alleging that
he (Jordan) signed the deed, and
not Mr. Modlin, as Mr. Modlin
could not read and write. Mr.
Modlin claims that he authorized
his daughter to sign a paper, or
deed, selling three kinds of timber
on seven acres of land and not one
conveying five kinds of timber 011
42 acres of land.
After hearing the evidence and
the arguments of the couusel for
both sides the magistrate decided
that there was not probable cause
and dismissed the case.
Messrs. Small & McLane of
Washington, Mr. A. O. Gaylord
of Plymouth and Mr. H. W.
Stubbs of this town represented
the defendant and Mr. B. A
Critcher appeared for the plaintiff.

Things to Forget
If you see a tall fellow ahead of a crowd,
A leafier of men marching fearless ami
proud,
And you know of a talc whose mere tell
ing aloud
Would cause, bis proud head to in art
guish be bowed,
It's a pretty goOd plan to forget it.
If you know of a skeleton hidden away
lu a closet, aud guarded, ami kept from
the day
In the dark; and whose showing, whose
sudden display
Would cause grief and sorrow and life
long dismay.
It's a pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know of a thing that will darken
the joy
Of a man or a woman, a girl or a I my,
That will wipe out a smile, or the least
way ac noy
A fellow, or cause any gladness to cloy,
It's a pretty good plan to forget it.
