with Friends Felt the
Attack Approaching—
Died Sunday Afternoon-
Prominent Mason and
Successful Farmer
Buried Tuesday
The community was shocked on
Saturday afternoon to learn of the
sudden illness of Mr. James D.
Leggett. While talking with
friends in the rear of the business
house of Anderson, Crawford &
Coin pan, he complained of feeling
ill and expressed a desire to go
home. His friends offered to get a
conveyance and while away to se
cuse one, he was stricken with
paralysis and fell unconscious on
the platform upon which he was
sitting. Sunday afternoon about
five o'clock without ever showing
the least sign of consciousness, he
.died.
For some months he had been in
failing health and had consulted
specialists in Norfolk and Rich
mond, and his condition was some
what improved. He had goue
about attending to the business in
which he was engaged and friends
were more hopefuTX^
Mr. Leggett was barn in Martin
County near Williamston in March
1866, and since early manhood had
lived here, where Jfie had success

in without aid to carve his own
fortune. He married Miss Martha
Holliday and six children were
born to them, one, the eldest, dying
some yrars ago. He was a kind
and indulgent father, good neigh
bor and citizen. Several months
ago he made a public profession of
religion and connected himself with
the Methodist Church before the
service closed. He leaves a wife,
five children and two brothers a*d
one sister to mourn their loss— tin

ments," these, displayed in con
spicuous places. ,were cut from

some instances proved to be puzzles
iudeed. The first prize, a cut glass
Bonbon dish, was tied for by Mrs
John D. Biggs and Maurice Watts:
the consolation rested between
Misses Lettie Critcher and Irene
Smith, and was "Consolation"

served during the evening by Misses

WILLIAMSTON, N. C., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1911
Wc arc Helping Too!
William A. Anderson, former
Attorney General of Virginia, in an
interview published in the Wash
ington Post, boosts Accomac Coun
ty that State by saving that it is,
perhaps, the most prosperous coun
ty in the United States. Last year
the potato crop in that county was
worth more than $2,000,000. He
further states that Suffolk has the
second richest bank in the county
shares being worth about $3,000.
Also that the development of the
peanut industry has been largely
responsible for the prosperity of the
country surroundiug Suffolk.
There is no doubt of the truth of
Mr. Anderson's words. The lands
around Suffolk and Norfolk are
fine for trucking and the people
have made the most of their oppor
tunities Then the peanut indus
try has been built tip in Suffolk bv
profiting on the crop raised in the
surroundiog section and by getting
the output from Martin and other
counties of North Carolina. From
thin station bags of peanuts reach
ing in number to the thousand go
daily to Suffolk and steamers carry
a goodly number also. Our peo
ple are working diligently to reap
a small benefit in commissions,
when by keeping the crop here they
could build for greater things for
themselves and for the town. Vir
ginia should at least feel very grate
ful to us for riot a bag of peauuts
or a bale of cotton is kept for manu
facture in the county. All the prof
it which accrues from handling
both after they are sold by the pro
ducers goes to dear old Virginia
and other States. Williamston
and other towns are drained to the
limit so that the fat may be given
elsewhere. The cry goes up that
business is dull and who civ
may be the ones who are trampling
out its life just because it is their
blind way of seeing the business
end of a proposition. Why not
wake up to preseut conditions and
turn the tide this way?

Meaus loss of sleeji which is bad

Tar Compound stops the cough at
