RUNNING ANTELOPE'S VIEWS
OF HONESTY OF AGENTS
IN THE spring of 1874. while the
Seventh cavalry wits stationed at
Fort Abraham Lincoln. N. 1)., a band
of IlunlipHpa Sioux from a reservation
near by came to the fort to ask Gen
eral Custer for the food which they
much needed. The steamer bringing
the supplies Issued thein by the In
dian department had been frozen In Ice
In the Missouri river and they had
been compelled to eat their dogs and
ponies to keep from starving
Having decided to n 'd from the
military,"they litvught with them their
greatest orator, Kunning Antelope
O'ahincasula Inyauke), a line-looking,
dlgniUed old warrior, to present their
OS use. Kunnlug Antelope described at
letigth the distressing condition of the
tribe and denounced their agent, ac
cusing all agctits of dftbonesty.
At tlds polu't General Custer Inter
rupted and asked the Interpreter to
any to the chief that the Great Father
selected ouly good men for agent* tie
fore »endlng them out from Washing
ton. When this was explained to Kun
ulug Antelope he smiled grimly and,
through the Interpreter, replied : "Well,
they may In- good nieu when they leave
the Great Kuther, hut they get to be
d —d cheats by the time they reach
us."
After the council was over, General
Custer Invited Kunning Antelo[>e and
hi* chiefs Into a dining room of * his
quarters for it feast. Dignified and lui
presslve us the old chief was while
speaking In a council, lie was not so
admirable as a table companion. After
gorging himself on everything In sight,
he emptied the plates and swept the
remains of the feast from the very
noses of ills headmen, Into the folds
of his robe. Tlieu he belted It at Ills
waist,., making a capacious haversack,
grunted his appreciation of tlie hos
pitality and stalked from the room.
Although (tunning Antelope hud not
learned table manners (according to
white men's lights) In the tepees of
his fathers, he was a first class light
ing IIIIUI.
The majority of his victims were
npmlierx of the Arlkaru tribe, ills
Hug of Arlkin-HH for IMfrft was ten war
riors slid three women. Ills greatest
single feat was Hie slaying of live
warriors In one day. In the 12 years
whlchrft" record .covers he confesses,
graphical), to dispatching no les*
thull of these hereilltury foes of the
Sioux, a record of systematic homicide
which doubtless guve him as great ■
reputation among his tribesmen for lie
Ing a warror as he enjoyed uiuong the
whites as an orator.
WHITE LIGHTNING"
It is appropriately called "white
lightning," It is the vernacular for
the so-called liquor that bootleggers
sell.
It breaks the hearts of precious
mothers, crushes the love of devoted
wives and wnecks the hopes of inno
cent children.
It ruins manhood, smashes morality
and undermines character.
It brings disgrace to the respected*
and casts shame upon the honorable.
It blasts faith, blots out hope and
make of love a mockery.
It fills the jails with the remnants
..f ii . .hint ruction . nml provides the
criminal courts with the grist upon
which to continue to grind.
It gi ves a black eye to every good
cause and casts a stone at every worth
while movement for the upbuilding of
humanity
It makes 'sensible men crazy and
causes good men to think wickedly.
It makes cowards of the brave men
and fools of the smart and celver.
It is neither a mocker nor a deceiv
er but carries with it the brand of its
ignominy and the label of its shame.
It is a continual nuisance, a per
sistent menace, an unvarnished source
of evil ami a unmitigated curse to
mankind.
It makes of virtue a by-word and
of goodness a sham.
it is the enemy of the pure, the
good and the true.
Its ways are altogether evil and
its ends wholly wicked.
Well has it been named light
ning" for "it carries death in its wake
and leaves destruction in its path.
PATRONS OF STORES
SHOULD FOLLOW RULE
Now tha tthe stores of the city
close each afternoon at 6 o'clock ex
cept Saturdays, purchasers should
make it a point to do their trading
before this hour (six o'clock). Dy
doing this you give the clerks and
employes a chanee to leave the storf
on time and not compel them to re
main as much as a half hour longer.
Some shoppers wait until just before
closing time to enter the stores, which
necessitates teh clerks having to re
main after six o'clock. Purchasers
ean do their trading before six just
as easy as they can when the stores
are ready to close. It works a hard-,
ship that could be avoided easily and
no on* would sue* rthereby.

RECITAL BY PUPILS
OF MRS. J' D. BIGGS
From eght-thirty to ten-thirty on
Tuesday evening Mrs. J no. D. Bigg.--,
Jr.'s Expression class entertained
their parents and friends in a most
pleUsing manner, at the home of Mrs.
Biggs. A minature stage was erect
ed in the large living room and seal.;
arranged for about fifty. Shaded
lights with old rose rdap«ries made a
very beautiful background for the per
formers.
The prologue by Miss Puttie Harris
was highly amusing and very attract
ively given. Tlie introduction to ea> u
member of the class was graeelull \
made by Miss Laura Orleans, giving
cluiractreistics of each. Then the class
ui unison gave a very beautiful inter
pretation of l'oe's "The Bells." This
poem, as the title suggests, is wi j
musical and the children had boon
trained to see something of the music
in bells as I'oe aw it.
Then the following number were
given by the different members of the
class:
Heading: "Sister and I"—Mis
Kutherine Hardlson.
Reading: "Jimmmy Brown's Stean
chair"—Miss Margaret Kodgerson.
Reading: "The Uncle"—Miss Laura
Orleans.
Motion Song: "Four Little Muids ut
Tea'—Misses llardidson, Peel, Kogei
son and Williams.
Reading: "The Clowns Baby"—Mis.
Frances Biggs Williams.
Reading: "The Bell of Zenoru"-
Miss Ruth Elizabeth Peel.
Reading: "Socrates Snooks"—Miss
Orleans.
Reading: "Nebuchadnezzar'—Miss
Harris.
Pantomine: "The Famine"—by the
class.
Each number of the program was
highly pleasing and we should remem
ber what this line of work so capu
lilyCarried on means to our commun
ity, cillien possessed of poise, an
eusy How of lunguuge expressed with
lieauty of tone and voice. The enunc
iation, poise, expression and unperson
utjon of this cluss seemed to reach u
standard beyond their youthful yeais.
Alter tlie program tlie hostess serv
ed delicious cream and euke. Th
whole evening was a delight to the
parents and friends und was enjoyed
by all but by none more than by tli
gifted ad hospitable" teaclior hostcs
herself.
FOK THE KADIO FAN
The part, that the grid plays in the
operation of the auction or vacuum
tube in common use on radio receiv
ers is most interesting This is the
electrode that delivers the pulsations
of the rudio waves which are received
hy the antennae, to the "II" batery
circuit. The current from the "11"
battery passes between filament ami
plate through the grid itself.
,The grid adds to or subtracts from
tlie (low of electrons moving the
filament to the plate, and thus affects
the phones on the "B" battery ciiw
cuit so that he phone diaphrams giw
he corresponding signals to tlw'se re
ceived by the aenai circuit. ?
"All other things being satisfactory
says Mr. S. E. Ieonard, ltadio Kngi-,
neer of the Willard Stbrage Battery
Company, "much depends upon the
type of "II" battery used. The new
Willard ltadio "B" storage battery
has met a most flatering reception
and has answered a ong-felt want a
mong radio operators for a quiet and
effcient "B' battery.'
TIIKEE KINDS OF PEOPLE
There seem* to tie three kinds o'
people iri the world.
. First, those fellows who arc willing
to contribute something', who are try
ing to give the world more than they
get, who are always trying to help
others in some way. It may be in
dividually or it may be generally
Such people are called good citizen*
Second, those people who are will
ing to give just as much as they re
ceive. They never do more than makf
an even swap. Such people leave tht
world just as they found it. No bet
ter nor no worse, these people arr
graded as fair citizens.
The third claßs are those who ar*
always trying to take more out of tiw
world than they put In it. They art
the fellows who are always milking
but never feeding, always eating but
raever working, always riding but n«v
er pushing.
EXTRACT FROM SAPIRO'S TALK
"In 1920 and 1921 about 90 per cent
of the farmers in the United States
loot money on their products and lost
real money. In California where we
have our inferior products our isolat
ed position as compared to your, 80
per cent of the farmers mad* net
profits on their products—only by Co
operative Association."

WHAT WE NEED WORSE THAN

Williamston seriously needs more
cooperative spirit, that kind that is
not overcharged with sclfshneas and
not the kind that does not care wheth
er or not the other fellow succeeds and
Is rather glad if hedoesn't, but a 100
per cent hearty cooperation that will
help every business and every person
in town and every person who comes
to town.
We cannot have a good town unless
it renders a service to those with
whom it deals. We must rise up and
be doing or we will osme day wake
up and And that we are sorry.

NO NEW EXPEIMENT
SAYS AARON SAPIRO
(Ertracts from Aaron Sapiro'a recent
speeches in North Carolina.)
Cooperative Marketing is real;
there is nothing new in it and there
is nothing complex io it, and there
is nothing hidden in it. It is an old,
old movement. It is more than three
generations old in every civilized coun
try in Europe.
It just so happens that this one
particular thing the United States is
the one country that has been back
ward in cooperation, and even im this
country we haw had it in California
since 1894.
Now ourfarmers out there actually
market more than three million dol
lars worth of products every single
year through this cooperative market
ing; they market perishable and nou
, perishable things—they range ail the
way from strawberries to baled alfal
l'a, from oranges to bottled honey.
This movement is here all over the
tinted States with all kinds of com
modities; there is not a word of ex
periment in it.
In California alone those fanifers
have laced practically every kind of
problem that a farmer can fee in
m ike ting lus products and they have
solved them every one.
"WORK. OK UO TO KOADS" SAYS
JUDGE lIAKUIS
News and Observer.
"Helping one's uiotaei: with the
washing does not co'nstitute an alibi
to offset a vagrancy charge," ruled
Judge Harriss in city court yesterday
morning. "There are enough Jobs for
everybody in Kaleigh." A campaign
against the vagrants of ltaleigh was
announced by Judge Harris, as he is
sued orders to the local police to ar
rest all persons seen to loaf habitually
in the vicinity of L>uloes corner, the
notorious "deadline" on East Davie
street, fumed for its whiskey and its
brawls.
In carrying out this program two
colored men —Connie Kogers and AU
len Williams— were put under heavy
I bonds to provide proper support for
their wives. Zany I'erry, a negro
woman, who has featured in many
tights and cutting scrapes in East
ltaleigh, and who was recently tried
and acquitted for slashing a negro
with u razor, was sent to the county
I jail for thirty days on a charge ef
vagrancy. She hud told the court a
few days ago that she had a regular
job at a local laundry but an inves
tigation by Officer Danuielly prtyed
the fallacy of her statement. She
took her sentence very lightly, saying
that she wouldn't have to worry about
something to eat for thirty days.
The foregoing article on conditions
in ltaleigh reminds us that William
ston, too, has vugrunts. A large num
her of people are living by selling li
quor, gambling and immorality. The
mayor and tho police force should
take a hand and look into these mat
ters. — — _

Acres of land were under water, the
water coming up LU houses in jevecai
places.
Th enow store house at the end of
West Main Btreet owned by Juhua S.
Feel and now occupied by Mr. J. B.
Mcliowan as a store and Mr. Daniel
Uiggs as a residence was flooded to
a depth of several feet and practically
all the household furniture, clothes
and other things belonging to Mr.
and Mrs. biggs werer uined. The
beds, chairs, trunks dressers and other
heavy articles floated and tumbled
about the house. If the water that
rushed in so suddenly had not bee*
dirty it would not have damaged the
things so badly but it seemed to leave
every piece painted with black sticky
mud and everything was almost com
pletely destroyed.
The cause of the ponding jf the
water in the spot where the store WM
locuted was the Ailing up of the open
culvert by the railroud company and
leaving only large tiling for the wa
ter to pass through. And the tllin g
wus inadequate for oven a fairly large
rainfall, but entirel yso for a cloufr>
burst.
The first report that circled around
tuwu was that Mr. Julius Feel had
fixed his swimming pool and the news
brought joy to the young folks of the
luwu ami they wore greatly disappoint
ed when they found Mr. Peel had tw«
yet completed his plana of 1921.
