It would be more convenient to us if those who send articles for publication would use ,1 pen and ink and write plainly or have the matter type writteu. Oftentimes the copy is so dimly written with pencil, that it is almost impossible to read in correctly. For fear tint we may make an error in some communication, we make this re quest. _ „ ; With a change* of one or »nore lettlers, Wilhamston could be turn-j ed into Wilmiugton. But 111 thej matter of prosecuting blind tigers, there is not tht; slightest chance of I the two being alike. What this town needs Ss a similarity in the city government and uot in name Reform in the "City bv the sen," seems to worn, but the word is! Dutch to this end of the line. Who is Responsible? The tragedy here late Saturday afternoon, has put sciious thoughts i even into the minds of those who! are wout to let things take their course so long as they do not ma terially effect them. A man was killed, a wife and children bereft of a father and husband, the peace and quietitude of another man and family disturbed, a community fill ed with unrest and horror. All this, too, caused by that menace to the peace, happiness, lives and gen eral good of the entire community —the man or men who sold w . *■ ... • * i ' . IT. If*. Gardner the stuff which poisoned his mind, his soul and made him for the time being one who sought to kill his fellow man. The blood of Gardner is on the soul of the man who took his money and give him that con coction of the devil which is the greatest evil of ancient and modern time. That man will suffer some day for the deed he indirect I y committed against God and human ity. The dead msu whei-. sob**r, was industrious and wotkeJ dilli geutly with his hands on the laud* of the man whom besought to slay, ar.d instead was slain. As the man «>f G d, who sympa thetic and htdpful and 'de-tr; g to warn the living said, "tliit there were three men respon hi-.- f ■ death of Gardner —the ihhii who sold the poison, the uulormnate man who drank it and sought to harm another, aud the man, who for his own personal safety, had to shoot a fellow creature. But this is jiot all. The safety and lives of the co m m unity Lie in the hands of sworn officials and hack of them the peo ple individually and col lectively. It is as plain as day that the town and commull it y, too, are drenched in whiskey, and yet the officials and the public are sufficiently in different to allow the con dition to grow worse as time goes on. People seem to be hiding behind, that interrogative answer of Cain: 'Am, Imy brother's keeper f" That question, which indicates a harm ful indifference, was for ever an steered by Christ when he gave the second Commandant: "Love thy neigh bor as th ysetf." Th e public is responsible for the condition of things, for Ahe govern men f is by it nd of -the people... When I hey erase to govern, then thai i difference is dan gerons to any community nnd the etui is it of yet. Studcbaker Cars To change, by onbold the name under which* is annually marketed a product yolued at fifty million dollars is a feat of daring new to industrial history. Yet it has jus' beeu performed by Tie S'.udebaker Co*-pent ion of Detroit which lias sent notice to its dealer-. all over the country that, in the future, all the motor cars built its mammoth Detroit plants will be \ known as "Studebpker" cars. The change went into fleet will the opening of the oment m u;th. A big bittery of mac'aice tools is now engaged in turning out tht initial'ot of 100,000 Suukbnker" [script radiator name plates which I will replace those at j resent in u-e, not oulv on the cars now being inarketedNjut also on all cars sold by the Studebakers aud their pre doccssors, tbe 1; M F Couipanv, 1 which whs merged into The S:ude baker Co r pora'uou some time ago. As soon as it is possible to supply the monograms to Studebnker dea lers, all cars now in use will be 'equipped with them I The change, though startling, is tbotougbly logical. Since the be 'ginning of the automobile plants | around which the present Stude baker system has been built, mem ' be:a of the Studcbaker family have | been heavy stockholders. Two I years ago they acquired a controll ing interest The automobile plants aie now owned- outright by The IStudebaker Corporation. Praoti ically all the cats built there have been sold through the Studebaker branches. Studebaker policies, pruminetit among which are tbe broad guarantee and close relations? with retail dealers, have dominated the hrtp for the past two years. With this condition In evidence, it seemed to the executives o i tbe corporation, as well as to its dealers, 'that the change was not only advis able but virtually essential. SEEK ASTOBWEALTH Heir to $100,000,000 Receives Letters From Many Persons. Womwk Propose Marrlag* and Man Aak Him to Become Partnara in Bualnaaa—Others Maka Odd Requests. Naw York.—Vlncant Astor'a lataat troubla la a deluge of Wttara from persona anxious to' adrlaa 14m ai to the beat manner of b pending hla SIOO,- 000,000 Inheritance. Many of the lat tera are from women, telling of tbair great love and conveying off era at mar riage. Old women and young woman, bra sen and demure, tliln and fat ones, pretty and ugly, have taken their pena In band, not without bopa of gain. Some bave pretended to beapaak Mr. Autor's Interest In behalf of cauaea other than purely personal ones, but moat of them have been frankly smlt ten In the desire to call the young man's attention to certain persona that he otherwise might overlook. Some of the writers have waited In front of the Astor estate ofllcea In Twenty-sixth atreet for a glimpse of the boy. Most have mistaken the handsome "Nick" Blddle for the ob ject of their curiosity, much to Bid die's embarrassment. He is an exe cutor of the Astor estate, is about thli* ty-four and looks younger. And It Isn't only through the me dium of letters that woman have pressed their sultH. The telephone has beon kept pretty busy, both at the of fices and at the Fifth avenue house, with girlish voices whose owners were anxious to have opportunities to meet the heir of millions. The reasons as signed were as many as the letters | contained. Some of the writers want the young man to "do something worthy, of his name." There have been suggestions that he finance the suffragette cause. Others want him to use his fortune to , buy up breweries and distilleries and put them out of business for the sake of promoting the cause of prohibition. Comparatively few of the letters writ ten by women are from Inventors. This class of communications almost always bore a man's signature. Things suggested for a worthy use of the money ranged from patent bung-starlers to methods of bridging ! Behrlng Htralt. Included In the up-! TX'nlu are those of professional beg gars. Churches, schools and libraries j divide honors an to tho numbers of their letters with propositions from ) bualneda houses that offer him Inter- j ests for ever so small a cuin. Most of then®letters, of course, need ! no answer. Thane from women on nub|ects of the iieart are entirely ig ■ rro-Fd. r,tail j- nf — rhf! Inttnr ctths ac companied by i»hotograt>hß. Two of i the fair correspondents wnt as thoir | own postcard, of Lillian Rub- ! Kell, from wblc i tliuy had forgotten to ncratch tho namo.
