berries from their garden last
Saturday.
j Miss May Murphy has returned
home from a visit of several
; weeks in Georgia and Florida.
Mr. John W. Martin has been
attending a meeting of Shriners
; in New Orleans the past week.
Quite a number of Morganton
people attended the Morganton
Lenoir debate at Lenoir last Fri
day night.
Rev. W. L. Sherrill, assistant
editor of the Greensboro Chris
tian Advocate, was a visitor in
Morganton Tuesday and Wednes
day, the guest of Rev. W. F.
Womble.
Joseph Ervin. young son of
Mr. S. J. Ervin, was taken to
Dr. Long's hospital, in States
ville, a few days ago for treat
ment for an affection of one of
his legs.
Miss Mabel Miller, daughter of
Prof. John Miller, has returned
home after five months' treat
ment in the University Hospital,
in Philadelphia, for her eyesight,
which is very much improved.
Although from recent occur
rences it seems to be dangerous
to mention 'Tostoffice" in Mor
ganton, it is understood that at
last temporary quarters for the
office have been selected, in the
Haskins building, on Union street.
Mr. Thornwel! Anderson, of
Middlesboro, Ky., visited his
mother and other relatives here
the past week. He is one of the
many old Morganton boys who
have met with success in other
fields. Mr. Anderson is attorney
for large land and coal companies
in Kentucky. He left here for
New York on business.
Lst everybody remember the
Lavmen's Convention this week.
Th t first meeting on Friday
night will be a rousing one. A
great many people fr-.m the coun
ty arc- expected for the two meet
i;:gs on Saturday and Sand-iV.
An fcitort will be made to get the
stores to close on Saturday dur
ing the hours of speaking at the
Auditorium. Morganton owes
this much to the prominent speak
ers who are to be here. Let us
all get together and make this
convention a great success. '
Henry Moore, colored, former
ly of Morganton, who shot and
killed Henry Hawkins, also
colored, in a card game at Lex
ington on March 20th, was tried
in the superior court in that town
yesterday and convicted of mur
der in the second degree. He
was sentenced to fifteen years in
the penitentiary. Mr. R. L. Huff
man, of Morganton, was one of
Moore's lawyers in the trial,
which consumed only one day,
there being only one witness ex
amined. Mr. Huffman returned
to Morganton last night.
The weather of the past week
has been very cold for April, and
as vegetation is farther advanced
than usual, owing to the warn.
weather the last of March and
the first of April, our people have
naturally been very anxious
about the wheat, the firuit and
the gardens. There was a little
frost the latter part of last week,
but the coldest weather came
Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
However, clouds and wind kept
off frost and we all breathe
easier. Beyond a severe chill, it
is not believed that much dam
age has been done. The weather
is some warmer to-day.
The Proposed Public Building.
A telegram from Congressman
E. Y. Webb, replying to a re
quest that he arrange for a hear
ing before the House Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds
on the bill for a public building
in Morganton the bill printed
in this . paper last week says
that he has arranged for a hear
ing in Washington on Wednes
day, April 27th.
Mr. S. J. Ervin has expressed
his willingness to be present and
make a speech for the bill before
the committee. Mr. W. C.
Ervin says he will also go to
Washington in the interest of the
bill. It is hoped that as many
other citizens as can make it
convenient will go for the hear
ing on the 27th, as it is believed
that with the proper interest
shown from Morganton a favor
able report on the bill and its
passage at the present session of
Congress is assured. Our Sena
tors and Congressmen, including
the three Republican members
from this State, will, it is under
stood, not only vote but work for
the passage of the bill.
Let a good delegation from
Morganton be in Washington for
the hearing next Wednesday.
The Morganton-Lencir Debate.
Lenoir News, 19th.
The joint discussion, between
Oliver Webb and Edgar Kirksey
of the Morganton graded school
and James Pritchett and Ed.
Cloyd of the Lenoir graded school
at the Lenoir graded school last
Friday night was a very interest
ing and enjoyable occasion. The
auditorium was filled with inter
esting spectators and friends of
the opposing parties. Much in
terest centered in the discussion
because it was the second of a
series between the schools, Mor
ganton having won the victory a
year ago. The query was: "Re
solved that the U. S. Senators
Should Be Elected by Direct -Vote
of the People," the affirmative
being taken by the Morganton
boys and the negative by the Le
noir boys. The speakers all held
themselves well, showing very
little if any nervousness and the
arguments presented on both
sides were far superior to what
was expected and enlightened
some of us older fellows much as
to what had been done for and
against the election of senators
by popular vote in this country.
The Morganton boys, while pre
senting good grounds for their
contentions, were however out
classed by the Lenoir speakers
and the judges after considerable
deliberation rendered the verdict
in favor of the negative. The
speakers were given the undi
vided attention of the vast au
dience and hearty applause and
at the close of the discussion
were each presented with hand
some boquets.
From Linville.
Correspondence of The News-Herald.
The most of the farmers of our
neighborhood are through plant
ing corn and are now spending
the spare time talking politics
and other important matters.
The people of Linville have
had a dreadful forest fire, doing
great damage to the timber; and
it also scorched old Uncle Pink
McGimpsey's beard very badly.
We read in the last issue of
The News-Herald a short ac
count of the Linville-Morganton
base ball game wThich was not
exactly to our satisfaction. It
seems that Morganton thinks we
don't want to play any but the
team we did. Right here we
want to invite the first team of
Morganton to the Linville ground,
and they need not wait until it
rains. We would also love to en
tertain the Morganton second
nine at our grounds before the
star-root digging season comes
in, as the Linville team could not
conveniently play during that
period of time. But if the Mor
ganton boys are not used to corn
bread and fat back it might be
well for them to wait until wheat
is threshed and berries get ripe,
so they can stay long enough to
finish the game.
Respectfully,
Shortoff.

that, after hard work during the past winter they now make excellent music.
Morganton is proud of its band.
Advice to Men About to Speculate.
Chicago Correspondence in New York Evenine
Post.
"What shall I do with my
money?" was the question put to
a broker this week by a new in
vestor who had saved $500 and
wanted to get into the wheat
market and make some easy
money. "Do you see that bank
over there?" answered the
broker, pointing across the street.
"You take your money and de
posit it there in the savings de
partment where you get three
per cent a year. Give your bank
book to your wife and go back to
your work." This advice was
given an investor ignorant of
speculative deals in grain and
who could not afford to lose. It is
merely an incident; still, it shows
that some brokers look upon the
moral as well as the business
side of the speculative game.
Lend Your Aid to the Burke County
Poultry Association and Srow.
Correspondence of The News-Herald.
Now that the Burke County
Poultry Association has been
organized and there is positive
assurance that the Association
will hold a poultry show this win
ter let us all pull together and
make the association and the
show a grand success.
Now is the time to lay the
foundation for prize winners in
this show. If you are already a
breeder of pure-bred poultry
look carefully to the development
of your young stock that you may
properly bring it to maturity. If
you have no pure-bred poultry it
is not too late to get eggs and
hatch winners. By careful at
tention and judicious feeding you
can yet hatch, rear and bring to
this show well developed cocker
els and pullets. Select the breed
you prefer and get busy.
The aim of the association is
to encourage the breeding of
standard-bred poultry and to this
end the association urgently asks
your co-operation. If you are
a breeder of pure-bred poul
try or contemplate becoming one,
kindly give me your name.
Another thing whether or not
you are a member of the associa
tion, you can enter your poultry
in the show to be held this win
ter, but I would urge every
breeder to become a member of
the association. The dues will
be small and the benefits to be
derived therefrom will be large.
It was thought advisable for
this year at least to limit entries
to the show to Burke county, so
you will have only home-folks as
competitors.
Will you co-operate with us in
making the exhibition of poultry
to be held here this winter a
credit to Burke county?
Yours truly,
C. D. Forney, Sec.
Burke County Poultry Association.
A Love Attack on Yafes Webb.
Hickory Democrat.
Our good friend, Col. W. S.
Pearson, formerly of Burke,
arose from the midst of a huge
slice of Mint Pie at the meeting
of the Republican Congressional
Executive Committee of the 9th
district in Charlotte the other
day and derjosed as is hereinbe
low stated, as quoted in the Char
lotte Observer:
"We have one advantage over
our Democratic friends. We are
not good haters. If in the com
ing campaign we attack Mr.
Webb and his record, it will not
be through a spirit of hate but
through love for the people. The
majority of fights are fought
through love."
This is a beautiful sentiment
just such as we would expect to
drip, like honey from a bee tree,
