Majtpe Weathers & 12 800 Remark* of Representative Fou With Reference to the Increase in Salary of the Jturai Free Delivery Carriers. Mr.' C^hirman, I heartily agree with the remarks of the gentleman from Alabama. (Mr. Hetlin) with respect to the necessity of an increase in the sal aries ofiTural free delivery carriers, and 1 wBl say right now that 1 have been impressed with certain data I lave received showing the net amount per annum now received by these car ters. The amounts are pitifully 8inall| will not undertake to give the ac urate figures, but from statements sent to ifce I should say that 1500 and $600 a year net yas a large estimate. Now We ;all know this amount is too small. 1 want to say that there are perhaps 80 or 100 .of these gentle men In tay district. I have In the past been receding very few of their votes. I do hot suppose that my party will re ceive many of their votes in the next, campaign; but If every single one of hem was a Republican and I nev#r expected to get the vote of a single one of them, I would stand here and advooate i this Increase, because I be lieve it ill right It is not Just to expect these men to carry th< cent inc country they hav< to Incur upon the pitiful sal aries the are now being paid, and we may as v sit recognize the fact that if the peop 6 of the United States de raand the e postal facilities, if the far mer exp( its his mail delivered at his home ev ry day -in the year except Sundays hod holidays, he ought to be willing trfpay for it; and no fair mind ed man Mil protest If you give these carriers Itn adequate salary.?Con gressional Record, Jan. 23-'14. i Immense amount of the re le of the mall matter of the nd to Incur the expenses To Iaprove PostoBce Aeeommodu .. _ tlons.

Jin Wilton 1h Sum mar 11 j Dealt With for Murder of Mrs. William Lynch ?Kalelgh Company Arrive? too Lat?? .?Wendell, January 27.?Twenty jnin utes before the arrival of Company p, Third Infantry, from Raleigh this afternoon, a mob of 1,00 men and worn en saw Jim Wilson, confesed mur derer of Mrs. William Lynch, strung up and riddled lull of holes. No other violence was attempted. .The military from Raleigh could have heard the shooting. It is doubtful if an entire regiment could have prevented violence, so enraged were the people Of this community The lynching occurred at -2 o'clock about 20 minutes before the arrival of the Raleigh troops at Wendell. The negro was locked In Novell's store for safe-keeping as violence was feared. The exact spot at which the> crime was committed is about two and a half miles southeast of Wen dell. A crowd; approximated at more than 1,00 men, women and chil dren, from all the surrounding ter ritory, gathered at the store and quietly went in and took possession of Wilson. A rope was placed around his neck and he was swung up ove* a convenient limb of a'tree, near the road. As he was pulled up he made signs that he wished to speak, and he was let-doWn. He stated that his former confession, made early this morning, was wrong, and that only ooenother negro besides himself was implicated. That negro is now un der arrest at Wendell for future in vestigation. Wilson was then pull ed up again, and his body riddled with bullets. A deputy sheriff, as sqoa as the crime was committed, started back to Wendell. anWUson tittlT-ptorlefl whlph , S ted other Mgroea in Cfiia* tfe.tba aarta'.lMt hla v -th W Ml*.

January 24th, 1914, marked the twen ty-fifth anniversary of the Citizens Bank of H&40jBpn. The growth ol this1'Institution lias been coincident with that of this auction. The pres ent capital and M^Uta Ig two hun dred thousand dolrtPs ii&l' the com 'blned resources over one ntUllon dol lars. , 5 | The history of this Institution has I been remark&ble, starting business on January 24th, 1889, with o paid capital of $30,000 which was increased, to $100,000 on November 1st, 1901. The dividends pilld to stockholders-since organization lias been $165,000 and In addition to this has an earned surplus -and profits of $105,000 making the to tal earnings of this bank since organi zation $270,000. At the bank's organization ..the fol lowing were elected as officers and directors: Samuel Watkins, Presi dent; Redding Perry, Vice-President; J; ft.: Owen, Cashier; I. B. Gary, Teller and book-keeper; ami Samuel D. Young, Collector. Directors: Samuel Watkins, Redding Perry, J. B. Owen, |J. D. Cooper. A. C. Zolllcoffer, Geo. B. Harris, Owep Davis and W .8. Perry. !ln February 1896 A. C. Zolllcoffer Vice President, succeeding Redding Periy, who died in 1896, and in April 1891 Edward Hines was elected Teller suc ceeding I. B. Gary, resigned. It is a remarkable fact that 6t the original board of directors. Messrs. Samuel Watkins, J. B. Owen, J. D. Cooper, Geo B. "Harris and A. C. Zol llcoffer. have served continuously on the board during the past twenty-five years. On February 1st, 1895, Mr. Samuel W&tklns resigned as president and was succeeded by Mr. J. B. Owen and Mr. W. A. Hunt was elected cashier. At the same time Messrs. James H. Las sister. Melville Dorsey, J. P. Taylor and W. S. Parker, were elfected addi tional directors. On November 1st. 1901, Messrs. J.<-H. Brodie, S. P. Coop er and J. H. Parhatn were elected as members of the board. . . During the past quarter of a cntury this bank has served lfS customers In ?building. It has-?pasaari through many panics and business de pressions, and to its credit no deposi tor has ever lost a eent by them nor has there a time arisen when any de positor has not be?n able' to receive his money deposited with them. Many changes have taken place in this town during'the past twenty-five years, but it is doubted whether there is an institution in the State that can show such a record as has been made by thi^s bank or that has ha?T ob few changes In the. personnel of the of ficers and directors. Many telegrams and letters of con gratulation came to them on their twenty-fifth anniversary, and they Just ly deserve the recognition Of being the leading bank in this section.
