Two of lu moat valued and Uhcable men have fallen before his ecytke. On Satarday, April 10, John Henry Pope was laid leer after months or suflaring. Seven day* later Lemon H. La*, after a similar long stage, al *0 passed out Thera two men have beau missed from the community since illaem Brat took them from our streets whet* their pleasant personalities made them favorites with young and old ■ram. Dot always there was the hope . that they would soon return to their Comer placet. New, however, that lope ban passed. Dim is Just awak ening to its Leaa. And it is a heavy Ke two man of the community would bn mlaeed more than they are. Active in the buainaaa and politics] life of the community, they exercis ed an influence strong for the mater ial pregrew of the town and Its ac ' virons. Of flue, strong character, a netting worth and genuine manli ness, they were valuable men. Their places cannot bo filled in the heart* of thetr friends. They < leave a vacancy in the life ef the ' community. AUTO THIEVES It is a dull wash indeed that doe* * hoc are ear or aoty automobiles • stolen from the street* of Dunn. Usu ally, however. when rewards are of fered, Che can are mysteriously found with no clue ns to who "bor ‘ rawed" them. Owners who arc victimised spend Mnch moooy In advertising for the v lea vahMea and are caused a lot of " iranMe and loos ef time.

' A few prosecutions of the 'borrow. ' «n" might help to keep down the ^^g™**-.. . ....... .J »*■ WM. F. HOLT I North Carolina State Medical Soci ety. which convened in Charlotte last week, la its 67th annual convention, elected Dr. William P. Holt, of Duke, to membership on the State Medical Board of Examiners. Poe the first time in its history has Harnett county received such recog nition “by the State Medical Society. TMs examining board is nompossd . of seven members elected by majer ity vote by the society. The member* strive to ec|cct only the moat capable ufcmbeiu *f Me profession to deter mine by fair and rigid examination wh* among those who apply far mo* dlcal license are properly trained aad * qaallfiwl to practice the profession of medicine in the state. When the ballots were coanted it was found that Dr. Holt eras one of four who - received the highest number of votes from the Mate society. Unprecedent ed In the history of the society was the fact that all seven of the sew members were elected on the line bal lot. Dr. Holt baa been a resident of Harnett twenty for the past fifteen yearn aad besides enjoying a large prartkb la medicine and surgery, his circle of friends b very large'. Under bis direction Good Hops Hospital, at Duke, eras establlMiod and ha* boon to operatic* for tbs past five year* aad today is running at full capacity. IW Halt Was has* set!.. X.

North Carotin* accepted through the action of Its owa people. We cannot understand, however, why oar people •honld iegistete for those States •shoe* people, do not want the kind sf Laws wa want them to have. Bat, getting bark to Mr. Edwards, it Is aot probable that his support er,! win ha able to place him in the job now filled by Mr. Watan. For cav Ihiag: the American people will want a little huger platform than that which includes only "personal liberty". For another thing: lbare are too many hypocrites who do aot rote the way they drink. However our feelings may be. we fear this boomlet will not get very far. SI IN AND ABOUT § :: XM e TOWN § utti;:s:nt:r,uunnu What promise* to be one of the mo* interesting commencement pro gram* over staged in llanttt county is that arranged for the Parker School aear Duko and ia (irerc township. The exercises will begin Thereday ! (tight when a "Trip to Story La*dft will be featured. The cast of this lit tle drama includes "Jack" of bean stalk fame, Puis in Boots, Altadin of the lamp and about thirty of those characters dear to the heart of child hood. The exercises will continue through Priday night, when "Tony, the Convict * will he presented by pu pils of the school. Grahiun 'Olive'* Franklin bicycle, immediate predecessor of oar own Old Fllv, has been stolen. It wasn’t moch ia appearance, but she was sar* a ' good old wheel sad did good ser vice for ue at Graham's expense. It is blae of frame, has chain tread tire* and lx somewhat noisy when la mo tion. Somebody glommed it from the Bane's k Holliday alley Saturday night. If anybody sees H wandering around town, be will confer a great favor upon ua all by leading it aroaad to The Dispatch office. Old File has grown malicious It mart be admitted that she isn’t much on looks, but wo had no ids* that she rpooated beauty in tha patrician car* ’ of oar haughty rich until yesterday. Saturday and Sunday tha old girl was blocked seven! times at Ik* more con gested corners by the besaty basts of lolling rongstera whose dad’s do not keep them busy. Especially was this true at the Post office and at the 1 Wilson and Leo corner where tha patrician* an wont to tie ap traffic by standby two and throe abreast while, the lowly .Utile motors whin* ■ their lilting lays. Old PUv grew tired of this. Yesterday morning she was 1 rounding the peat of flee corner. Two 1 husky monsters—one at each curb— dispa ted the right of way, allowing the old girl about 70 Inch** of syoee to sqaeese through. She paused for one to move on, bat they stood in haughty silence. Then Fllv decided fo ffnmp fkrniirh S>tA ta«r m imnri . or two. hooked her note into the i front fonder of one and gave the i rear fander of thr ether a bulky i mack aa fhe twisted through. Sho got not a scratch hut the two beca lm* wen illgbtir marred. Under the I eticimhtaneee Old Flhr made so epol ogiee—asd tee couldn't blame her. S<?ma of our folk who ride for pleao •it— seem to care too little for the time and convenience of thoie who •to business bound. We plabel have mm right an the streets, you know. ft. 0. Prim root, cotton buyer for the Sprunt interests, paid out over II,000,MO through Dunn banks for cotton bought in the Dunn district during the month of March. This sum bought 1,199 bales, which is the largest number ever told la this see tiun ao Into in the season. Cotton nice on the Dunn and I Duke markets have already pnaed the >0,009 be!as mark, which Is about ' ■quaI to that of last year Dunn atone i has sold approximately 29,600 bake. Duke has sold close to 6,000. It Is 1 probable that nt least t,600 bales more will find their way to the local i market before the 1919 crop is ex hausted. - I A coroner’* Jury sitting to deter mine who was responsible for the death of the little colored boy who , died last week from injuries sustain- , ed from a rcekkaaly driven auto- I mobile was unable to reach a deeie- < 'an.
