Louis C Harrison Dead
The death of Louis Cashing Har
rison on yesterday afternoon at
5:40 at hi* residence on Hsughton
Street cast a gloom over the town
and community. Five weeks ago
he was stricken with typhoid fever,
and though extremely ill from the
beginning friends snd loved ones
hoped his brave battle for life to
gether with the careful attention
given him might bring him back
to health. Bat the end came sud
denly and without a struggle, the
spirit of this strcng, young Chris
tian left its earthly dwelling place
for that blessed home above.
He was just twenty-seven years
old, a native of Martin County and
the son of Cashing 8., and Martha
Harrison. On September sth
1907, he married Miss Anna
Sherer, of Blacksburg, S. C., who
survives him. His brothers,
Messrs. T. F., and L. B Harrison,
of Williamston, Robert Harrison,
of Fayetteviile, George Harrison,
of Battleboro, Don 8., and Angus
tus Harrison and his only sister,
Mrs. Delia Green, have been almost
constantly at his bedside. No
death here for years has BO touched
the hearts of old and young as has
the death of Mr. Harrison.
The funeral services will be con
ducted at 4 o'clock this afternoon
bv his pastor, Rev. G. J. Dowell.
Interment to be in the Baptist
Cemetery.
Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler
Martin, Jr.. Arrive
The marriage of Mr. Wheeler
Martin, Jr., and Miss Louie Poteat
Wednesday evening at nine o'clock

Forest, was an interesting event to

joys a wide popularily. The bride
is the daughter of Dr. Louis Poteat,
President of Wake Forost College,
and Williamston has gained much
by her coming as the wife of Mr.
Martin.
They arrived Thursday evening
bv automobile from Robersonville,
where they left the train Mr. and
Mrs. Wbeeler Martin, Sr., Miss
Fannie B. Martin, Miss Annie Fa
gan and Messrs. John W. Biggs

= We wish to present to the readers of THE EN- j=
W TERPRISR a cut of J. J. Taylor, a very noted evan- YN
gelish of Lexington, Kv., who, with his singer,D.
Ward Milan, will conduct a series of meetings for
the Robersonville Christain Church, beginning
evening, Sept. 9th, 1912.
Both the evangelist and the singer are distin
guished Southern gentlemen of the highest char
[P ' acter, unusually well well equipped for the work, »
each being an expert in his particular line,
and have held successful meetings all over the
Id county. A
Read the following from the Prescott Daily
News, of Arkansas: "The meeting which began
two weeks ago at the Christian Church still con
tinnes with great interest interest. Dr. Taylor
and wife are both exceptionally talented persons
and have had enviable success as evangelists in
almost every state in the Union. Dr. Taslor is a
logical and forcible speaker. This coupled with
with a thorough knowlege of the scripture makes
him invincible in argument. Owing to the small
capacity of the church they were forced to remove
to the opera house last Sunday night. Even the
opera house was too small to contain the crowd
that flocked to hear Dr. Taylor on the subject:
=ll 'Meet me at the Fountain.' Never before has an U
evangelist attracted such crowds in Prescott. Al- §8
ready there has been several additions and greater
things are anticipatd."
And the following from the Sebring News, of lyt
2 Ohio: "The series of revival meetings closed S
last night at the Church of Christ. Owing to the
jg fair and warm weather the largest audience since Ssl
the opening of the meeting filled every available ' @
1 space half an hour before the services began and
many were turned away.
» "Dr. Taylor's subject last evening was 'The >
SSt Temptation of Jesus.' The sermon was scholarly tea
and eloquent. Evangelist Taylor does not use
notes but speaks rapidly and exactly, and has his
audience enthused at all time *. Fifteen additions
were received last evening, making 120 additions
and conversions to date. The campaign of Dr.
Taylor was the most successful ever conducted by
any evangelist in Sebring am! a grand reception
was given him before his departure Tuesday even
ing. Monday evening Dr. Taylor gave a lecture,
'Facing the Mirror.'"
The Robertonville meeting, which will doubtless continue
for some weeks, is to begin at a very convenient time and,
,we believe, under moil auspicious circumstances. It will be
u one of the greateit meedngs of the year and the people gen-
ESS erally are cordially invited to attend as many of these meet- 352
U ing as possible. Qj

Register of (Deeds Left Town
Saturday morning, Clerk of the
Court J. A. Hobbs, who within the
past month lost several sums of
money amounting to $436 00 had
J. H. Page mark several fifty-cent
pieces and leave them where he
had prevlonsly left money in his
office. Answering a call from
Sheriff Crawford to go with him
to the jail, be left the room with no
one present but Albert S. Coffield,
Register of Deeds of the County.
When Hobbs returned, he found
that the marked money had been
stolen. Chief of Police Ward had
been instructed to ask Ccffield for
change and upon doing so was
given some of the marked money.
This fact clenched the suspicion
which had pointed to Coffield us
the thief since the first sum of
$185.00 was stolen from an open
safe within the vault belonging to
the Clerk's office. -
Hobbs accused Coffield of the
theft and the guilty man, while pro
testing his innocence, promised to
return the sum by tea o'clock
Monday morning. Later in the
day Coffield sold his Interest in a
gas boat for $50.00. consulted J. P.
Simpson, who offered to take him
to his father and help secure the
money. But Coffield said be would
go by rail, and went to the station
where he purchased a ticket to
Everetts giving one of the marked
pieces as payment Bat he never
stopped at Everetts nor had any
intension of doing so at first, but
was seen passing Parmele and prob
ablyjwent to Tarboro that night,
lie had told bis wife that he was
going to Robersonville campaign
ing and would go from there to
Smithwick Creek on Sunday, where
he would meet a large number of
voters.
It develops that he left a letter
for his wife in which he asked for
a continuance of her confidence but
failed to say what he intended da
ing. All the money he bad
carried witn him, and he made no
provision for bis wife who was at
home with guests in the house.
He left a letter also for J. B. Cof
field, his father, containing bis
resignation which was forwarded
t« the proper authorities. The
relatives of the unfortunate man
were told of his position on Satur
day night, and later his wife learn
ed of it. The news of the affair
spread rapidly and nothing was
talked of for days except the theft
and its consequences. There is
great sympathy for the wife, the
parents and other relatives of Cof
field.
The affair is one of the most un
fortunate which has ever happened
here. Coffield comes from one of
the most prominent families in the
county, *nd won many friends on
the popularity aud high-standing of
his father His successor will he
named bv the County Convention
on next Thursday, and the candi
dates for the office are numerous.
To the Democratic Voters
of Martin County:—
Permit me to thank you very
kindly for the consideration and
confidence so generously manifest
ed by your support and cooperation
during my continuance in office as
Sheriff of your county, and to as
sure yon that I most heartily and
keenly appreciate the same.
Not being aware of any com
plaint and not having heard any
thing derogatory to my perfor
mance of the duties pertaining to
the office, and thinking that my
services and experience might pro
bably merit your further considera
tion, confidence and support, and
assuriug you that the best and all
that is, of»aud iu me, are at your
command, I take the liberty of
seeking further consideration at
your hands, and hereby announce
myself as a candidate for the office
of Sheriff of Martin County, sub
ject, however, to the wishes of the
County Democratic Convention.
