dinaer and picnic was enjoyed by a
large crowd of ladies and gentlemen.
The occasion was more in the order of
a neighborhood ]>lcnic which added en
joyment in no small degree. The bar

added to by many baskets brought along
by many of the families. The entire
occasion was a grand sucsess and will

W To Lecture.
We are requested to state that Dis
trict Lecturer, J. W. Patton, of the
Masonic Fraternitr will lecture at Cedar

Invited to attend these lectures. v
Complimentary.
The following Item concerning one o(
Loulaburg'i most prominent young
men, was taken from the Trinity
Chronicle of. recent date. It will be
read with much intereit by hia many
friends in this county:
"Prank N. Egerton, Jr., an A. B. of
Trinity and A. M. graduate ot Colom
bia Univenity, will serve as instructor
in electrical engineering. Mr. Kgerton
made a brilliant record as an under
graduate at Trinity College and later
as a graduate student for two years In
Columbia University."
"Thus on the strength of record* and
past performance* it appear* that Trin
ity is merely entering a period when
the enlargement of the faculty will
make the college more fully able than
It has been before to offer the very
be<t training that can be secured."

Mrs- W. A. Jonas Dead
Althoagh the information wai not un
expected the announcement of the death
of Mrs. W. A. Jones, on last Monday
merning was a severe shock to the en
tire Piney Grove neighborhood. The
end came about 0 o'clock that morning
while many of tbe family and neighbors
who had been presont to render all as
sistance nossible were resting, and it
was one that could only increase the
faith 1>f all present In the workings of
the Almighty. Her death was one in
Christ as she had been a faithful christ
ian and a member of the Louisburg
Baptist Church for a number of yean.
She was 43 years old and had been a
sufferer for many months, only to show
a sweet christian faith, in her afflictions.
She was a daughter of the late J. K.
Spencer, and leave-, a husband and nine
children, besides several brothers and
sisters, and mother, who have the sym
pathy of the entire community. The
funeral was held from the residence at
2 o'clock Tuesday and was conducted
by Rev. W. M- Gllmqre, her pastor, as
sisted by Rev. G. B. Starling, a formed
pastor of Piney Oove. The remains
were laid to r?st at Oakwood cemetery
in the presence of a large number who
had gathered to pav their last sad trib
ute t* a good woman. The floral trib
ute was Deautiful and profuse, being
sufficient to cover the mound of her
grave and that of her son, Arthor, who
proceeded her only a few months.
Change In Warehouse.
On Wednesday ef this week a sale
was consumated wherein McKinne
Bros. Co., and the Hilt Live Stock Co.,
purchased a one-third interest each in
the Farmers Warehouse. A more com
plete statement will be given out Dext
week. This however will in no way
effect the running of the warehouse
only to more generally popularize the
place.
Fire Near Town
On Wednesday night a bright reflec
tion was notictd on the southern skies
which was indicative of fire. Many o>
our people took automobiles and went
in search of the trouble and found that
the old Perry house at Perry's Mill, in
tlie yard of Mr. J. H. Fuller, and be
longing to him, was burning. From
what we can learn there was nothing
Of any special value in the house and
the loas comprised only the building ?
about $1000, with $300 insurance.
The Tobacco Market
Much activity has been notioed in the
prices on the local tobacco market here
the past week. Many planters have
visited the market with the result of a
good sale each day. Mr. Patton, for
the Imperial Tobacco Ce? has gone on
the market regular and his aopearance
has had the effect of increasing prices
on many grades. It U generally con
ceded by both planter, buyer and ware- 1
housemen that the cheaper grades are
exceedingly high and are holding up
well. Louisburg is proving itself to be
the market for the farmer to sell his
tobacco.

barn was the {formal opening of fall
millinery and ladies dreae goods at P.
S. & K. K. Allen's on last Monday
night. In addition to having the store
beautifully decorated with the many
pretty styles aad designs in their lines
they had Levin's Orchestra, of Raleigh,

department, which had been arranged
(or a serving room, after they had en
joyed the music and an inspection of

A HIDDEN CRIME.
Possibly Revealed by Acciden
tal Discovery.
News was received at the Times of
fice on Monday morning to the effect
that a mattress was found in Sandy
Creek near Red Bad which waa taken
from the water by the finder with asaia
tance he had secured and upon exami
nation it was found to be almost cov
ered in blood. It is not known yet
whether a murder has been committed
or not but this discovery is exceedingly
suggestive and deserves the attention
of the officials. It has been tuggested
that it was ot no importance and that
no attention should be given the matter,
but things ot this kind should be inves
tigated.
Loulsbursr to Rocky Mount Rail
. way.
1 During the past week a movement hag
taken shape backed by iocal and for
eign capitalists to build a railroad from
Louisburg to Rocky Mount. A notice
of application for charter is being pub
lished in this issue and as soon as it can
be received activities will begin to ma
terialize. The name will be Louisburg
and Rocky Mount Railway Co. It is
proposed to leave Louisburg and take
an almost due east course to Rocky
Mount, touching Mapleville, Cedar
Rock, Castalia, Red Oak and then Rocky
Mount. The distance is only alxut foi
ty miles and it traverses one of the best
sections in the State. This will (rive
Louisburg and this section a direct con
nection with the Coast Line at Rocky
Mount and therefore will receive all the
advantages of a direct connection with
that big railroad center. Besides hav
ing a strong local backing from both
ends and~froid the sections in between,
there is a tremendously strong foreign
influence at work to secure this road.
The entire connt^and section will great
ly profit by its establishment and every
person along the line should put their
shoulder to the wheel and do all he can
to mak,e the venture a larger success.
Stock Holders to Meet
We are request^] to state that there
will be a meeting of the stock holders
of the Farmers Union Warehouse on
next Thursday. The house is now fin
ished and in good shape. Every stock
holder is especially requested to be
present.
The Gun Club
The Gan club is having regular meet
ings aad much sport is being experi
eaced. This season the privilege of
shooting is extended to others than
members ef the club who are willing to
pay for the pigeons. Quite a number
are partaking of the amusements.
Opening at Candler-Crowell Co t
From their advertisement on another
page it will be seen that the Candler
Crowell Co., is announcing their fall
display of ladies millinery and dress
goods f?r September 22nd and 23rd.
We learn they have a more complete
stock than ever before, therefore their
opening will be of greater interest.
The Tarlfl.
It is easy to criticise particular
schedules of the Underwood-Simmons
tariff. It is easy to criticise particular
schedules of any tariff. But whatever
may be the faults of the Underwood
Simmons measure, it ia an honest
tariff, enacted by A free Congress.
Its mistake* honest mistakes.
Its shortgtmingg are honest shortcom
ings. ujp errors of Judgement are
lionest ? ??iurn of jtyJgyjmi'Yit.
This taViflf was- teamed in the open,
norf*m secret.' It* Schedules were not
prepared by" special interests seeking
their own private profit and accepted
bv subservient committees. Its rates
were ^hot manipulated by lobbies
masquerading in the guise of disip
te rested patriot!. It waa not bought
and paid for in campaign aulAatlau.
No member of Congress 'Who helped
pats it waa engaged in manipulating
the stock markets while he waa mani
pulating the schedules.
It- is the first tariff in fifty years
which waa passed by tbe representa
tives of the people and not by the
representatives of privilege and . plu
tocracy. President Wilssn describes
the contest aa "a fight for the people
and free business which baa lasted
a long generation." It waa even more
than that. It wka a fight for honest
representative government.
. The interests that framed the lie-in
ley Act had no shara in the Underwood
Simmons bill. The Oormaos and tbe
Smiths who multilatad the Wilson Mil
had no opportunity to mutilate the Un
d;r wood- Simmons bill. The men who
bought the Ding ley tariff from Hark
Hanna found no market in the sixty
third Congress. The pfot.cted extor
tionists who persuaded tbe Republican
Party to eommit suicide with._the
Payne-Aldrich bill had a different kind
of Administration to deal With this
time. The National Association of
Manufacturers who "accelerated"
poor Taft's Tariff -Board had to deal
with a President who publicly de
nounced the lobby. They had also to
meet an exposure of their methods In
The World's Mulhall revelations which
have destroyed the most complete con
spiracy that special privilege ever
organnized for the secret control of
government.
Differences of opinion in regard to
particular schedules become Insignif
icant in comparison with the spirit
and manner in which the Sixty-third
Congress has done its work. Regard
less of all criticisms of rates .and clas
ses, this bill marks in tariff-making
the actual restoration of goveipment of
the people, by the people and for the
people in all that the term implies.
Tariffs come and tariffs go, but a free
Congress is the highest manifestation
of republican self-government.? New
York World, Sept, 11th.
Compulsory Attendance Begins.
Sime confusion seems to hare arisen
as to the time when compulsory at
tendance upon sshools will be required.
The schools will open Oct. JOth, but we
are informed by Supt. White that it
is planned fotfche four months of com
pulsory attendance to begin Nov. 24th,
th's giving one month before Christmas
and three afterwards.
At Trinity.
The protracted meeting will begin at
Trinity Methodist church on the fourth
Sunday in September. There will be
preaching each day at 11 KM) in the
morning and 7:30 at night. The ser
vices will be conducted by the pastor
Rev. 0. R. Canipe, and will probably
be assisted by Rev. D. H. Tuttle, of
Henderson.
Big Plff.
Information was handed ns Tuesday
to the effect that Mr. Jeha Ball, of
near Alert killed a pig six months old
