Holden's early that night took drinks
talked awhile and returned to Frank- |
llnton, but that Harper would not re- 1
turn with them.
The Jury then retired and discussed
the situation and. finding nothing of
much importance except thnt a man
had been killed seemingly in self do
fense or defense of the home. they re
turned a verdjet a? follows: "That
the deceased came to his death by a
pistol shot wound at the hands of J.
T. Holden and recommend that he be
held under bond for franklin Super
ior Court." The Coroner placed the
bond at $300 and It was Immediately
given.
Later In the day new evidence begun
to develop and a re-opening of the In
quest was demanded. Upon which
Coroner Johnson reconvened tho in
quest and recalled tho Jury, and i r
dfcred a post motem examination of the
body by Dr. J. E. Majono and Dr. R
B. Henderson. The question of the
gun used was settled by the finding of
a 32 caliber bullet In the body' that
had passed through the heart of the
deceased and both lungs. The Inquest
was adjourned to 10 o'clock Monday
morning when evidence wns again
heard. At this hearing Bill Harris
hlB ond admitted
that they were all drunk and didn't
Jon? thcy wer<! there, but
that the shots were fired Just ns the
automobile was leaving the yard. The
two Pulleys admitted the same except
hearing any pistol shots. Other wit

veloped that Harper had a neat little
sum of money before meeting theee 1
boys, but had only 21 cents when
found. The Jury after Its delibera

that Cullie Pulley and Walter Pulley

Messrs. W. H. Yarborough and Ben
T. Holden. representing the defendant
brought the matter up before -Judge
Calvert in Raleigh under habeas cor
pus proceedings on Tuesday when the
case was threshed out again with the
result that the Judge held with the
Coroner's Jury throughout. The only
change he made was in the commit
ment of the witnesses when he added
the words "as witnesses" making It
appear that they were being held for
witnesses and not accessories..
Cullie Pulley, Walter Pulley and
Bill Harris gave bonds in Raleigh and
Sheriff Kearney brought J. T. Hold

The Circle leader. Mrs. Osmond
Hale conducted tho entire program for

Among the Pioneer leaders for dis
cussion wore Jolin Elliot and Roger
Williams, both of whom were born in
KpgUnd. ami Climated at Cambridge.
John Elliot. called the Apostl^to the
Indians in llo*;t'>n lr*'?!- In addition
to his regular work.as pastor of the
?*lur.-c!i ntjtoxbury. Mass.. he estab

down his life which was crowned
with sixty jvrrs of active service for

O no is filled with admiration and tho
deepest respect fortlte strength and
bravery of Roger Williams. whose un
selfish devotion to his cause r.'nd whose
high exploits ~ei him as one apart from
his fellows.
Banished from the church at Salem
ed he took refuge, in the'hpKinnlng or
av severe winter, in the wilderness
among the Indians, going from village

crawling on hands and knees through
dense morasses and tangled thickets
and never knowing when he could ob

Williams that if he would go as far as
Narraganset Bay he would be free
from any English claims. Embarking
vith five of his friends in a canoe, he
ccme to a p'.ace which in recognition
cf God's providence, he called Provi
dence. This was the beginning of the
colony of Rhode Island, which was
founded on the broadest principle of
toleration for all.
Such is the knight errant of liberty
to whom the American Baptists look
as their leader.

REV. GEO. M. DIKE DEAD.
One of Franklin County's Be*t Beloved |
l'ustors Passes Away Near Inez.
Although not unexpected the news
received in Louisburg Monday after-1
noon of the death of Rev. George M.
lli.l in 1 1 urn uI
his daughter. Mrs. Thomas Cheek, of
near l,nez, where he had been visiting
when he became worse, caused much
sorrow over our entire community.
He was probably the best known and
most generally loved man in Franklin
county. Mr. Duke had been in falling
health for several years, but would not
give up his work, which meant more
to hi'm than life Itself. The end
came peacefully like a quiet benedic
tion to a life well spent. Mr. Duke
was one of the oldest citizens in the
county, being seventy-live years of age
and had been preacher at Maple
Springs. Cedar Rock. Laurel and sev
eral other churches around Louisburg
for many years and in addition had
been pastor to the whole county. He
was a Baptist, but all denominations
will feel and mourn his loss.
Aside from his ministerial work, he
was known and honored as a brave
Confederate veteran. No public or
patriotic meeting in this part of the
State was complete without Mr . Duke's
| presence, and no man among us has
I lived more worthily or blamelessly
than he.
In the passing of George M. Duke
the county has suffered a distinct loss.
He was a citizen and patriot of the
I highest type, but best of all, he was a
I humble, faithful, worthy follower of
Christ. His last public address
was in the interest of War Savings
Stamps, and he never lost an oppor
tunity to use the wonderful gifts vof
mind, with which he was so ably en
dowed. in the service of hls^country^
?A great and good man lias gone from
our midst, and the State mourns its
loss.
H4? wife, who before her marriage
was Miss Elmyra Drake, and one son,
George Duke and one daughter. Mr&
Waller Strange, all of Mapleville. sur
vive him.
The remains were brought to his
heme at Mapleville on Tuesday morn
ing and laid to rest with Masonic hon
or?? in the beautiful little cemetery
.near Maple Springs church of which
he wo<s pr.stor at the time of his death.
The services at the church were con
ducted >*y Revs. \V. B. Vorton and
T. D. Collins, oi* Louisburg. Geo. W.

rel, while the services at the grave
were held under Masonic rites and
wore conducted by Mr. C. K. Owptco.
Master of his lodge, assisted by Rev.
X. II.D. Wilson, of Louisburg. The
.Masonic ceremonies wore jointly be
tween his lodge Sandy Creek xNo. !$."?.
'the John H. Mills lodge No. 624. and
'Louisburg lodge No. 413 .and were
made the more impressive by the la'rgo
number of Masons participating, being
|possibly the largest procession that
| has been witnessed in the county with
t[iiirijiiiiirii,i^lu)iiniri:i(llv-lilvlT.
j son and Edgecombe counties. Appro
priate hymns were rendered by a se
: lect choir and the floral tributo was
'beautifulT Fully ~twcniy-ttve hundred
;people were present to pay a last trl
jbute of love to this grand old man.
I The pall bearers were F. W. Wlve

from John Mills^Lodge and W. A.
jBurnette and John Burnette from San

GHFAT CONVEMIOy.
The twenty-fourth annual convention
of the Eastern Carolina Christian Sun
day school met at Mt. Gilead Chris
tian church on 16th, 17th, and 18th of
July.
The largest delegation ever attend
iTxg a convection was present. Tha
*omes of tut neighborhood^stood open
and ready to receive the guests. Had
the delegations been twice the size it
was all the people who wanted dele
gates could not have had ihem.
The orchestra from the Raleigh
Christian Church furnished most de
lightful music.
Solos by Miss May Stephenson. Mes
srs. Herman Stephenson and Willie
Johnson were greatly appreciated by
the extremely large congregations.
People from Franklin and numer
ous other counties crowded the church
long before time for the programme toj
be rendered each time. Most sumptu
ous dinners were served on the church
grounds each day. ?J
This convention was so much enjoy
ed by the church that It was asked to
be held next year at the samo place, |
but as so many other churches also
extended cordial Invitations to have it
with them of course we had to give
way to our sister churches.
We hope that it may be our pleasure
to present another such treat to this i
section of the State in the near future.'

The Chairman then stated the! ob
ject of the meeting.
The first business taken up was
that of filling the County Democratic
i Ticket, the positions of Surveyor and
Coroner being vacant. Upon motion
? it was unanimously ordered that the
I name of T. S. Gill be placed on the tic
ket for Surveyor. A second motion pre
vailing unanimously, was to place the
name of Asher F. Johnson,, on the
ticket for Coroner.
The question of "Why the Surveyor
never qualifies" was taken under ser
ious discussion and resulted in the
passage of the following resolution:
"Resolved that whereas, the compen
sation, fixed by law many years ago,
for the services of County Surveyor
are. tinder present conditions entirely
inadequate, the Chairman of this com
mitee is directed to urge upon the rep
resentative of Franklin County in the
next General Assembly that the pres

? ONERS CAPTIRFI) TI'ESRAY
! IX ALLIED ATTACh NEAR
BOSTIHDIER TAKEN BY
AMERICANS.
! LONDON. July 23.?The Frcnch at
tack near Montdidier today was a very
well executed and successful minor
j operation according to dispatches re
|Ceived this afternoonfrom the battle
! front, was presumably designed as a
diversion, aiming at keeping the ene
,my'?- mind occupied and preventing
him from sending large reinforce
ments to the southward.
j At the same time it also affected an
j important local improvement in tfce
j lina at a sector where every advance
; means better protection for Amiens
| and Paris. The French attacked on
! a four mile front after an hour's bom
bardment of the German lines and cap
Jturod all three villages or Sauvillers,
Aubvillers and Mailly-Raineval within
fifteen minutes.
i Thousand Prisoners Captured.
About a thousand more prisoners
have been counte4 by the entente al
lies in the past wenty-four hours.
Of this number about half have been
credited to the Americans and British.
Fighting of the fiercest character con
tinued and the present to-and-fro strug
gling all along the Soissons-Rheims
loop is very close, strenuous work, and
probably not so many prisoners are
being taken as would bo the case in a
direct advance or a retreat action.
All To Advantage of Allies.
There has been little changes in the
past 24 hours in the appearancc of the '
SoissonB-Rheims pocket as it appears j
on the map. What changes have been !
made there are all to the advantage of j
the allies. The Frcnch and Amerf-1
cans have gained further ground in :h*
bottom of the pocket. The French al
so are pressing hard on the lonj* line
south of Soissons and the map shows \
advances of a thousand yard?* or so at
several points.
The expectations of those who
thought that the Germans were pre
paring to give up immediately the en
tire Soisfions-Chateau Thierry-Pvheims
salient and retire to the Vesle river or
the Aisne have not yet been fulfilled.
According to today's dispatch the
German is fighting his hardest to hang
on to every foor of ground he has and
Is constantly counter-attacking with
surprising momentum, both on
Marno and^along the west side of the
salient.
Making It Difficult For The Enemy, i
The Germans are burning villages
and amall dumps but presumably a
further prodding will be needed to
push him back to the river Vesle.
Meanwhile the entente allies are ]
working without reBt at the business
of making either a stand or a with
The news received in London con
tinues to praise the work of the Amer
icans and the accounts of the cap
ture of Jaulgonne and Buzancy indi
cate that they were clean-cut pieces of
offensive tactics such as the officers
of the_Brltish general staff have come
to expect from the American fighters.
One British officer told the Associated
Press:
"I don't see how the work the Am
ericans have done in the past week's
fighting could possibly have been done
better. Hind sight frequently finds
many faults with military operations,
but the work of the Americans stands
such scrutiny well." 1
SEX. PERSON'S GREAT SPEECH.
Last Tuesday night previous to the
departure of the Colored drafted men
for Wrightstown, X. J., a brilliant re
ception was given them at the court
house by the local chapter of the color
ed red cross, on which occasion, Sen
ator W. M. Person was the chief
speaker.
After a few preliminaries, President
Pollard called upon Dr. J. B. Davis,
to introduce the speaker of the even
ing. In presenting the distinguished
orator. Dr. Davis said: "Some men
are born great, others have greatness
I thrust upon them, and still others
achieve greatness, but I have the hon
lor and the privilege of presenting to
j this large audience tonight, a gentle
man who is a combination of the
throe." "And I want to say right
| here, that however highly I may regard
the civic courage, the catholic patriot
ism and the character of many of our
distinguished follow citizens and coun
trymen. that we have nothing braver
j or better in the citizenship of this
? town, in the citizcnslnp of this State,
yes, in the citizenship of this country
(than this dauntless and rugged gentle
man, who ha? lived here, a life of un
blemished honor among our pcoj:!o.
Hon. Wiley M. Person, former Sena
tor from Franklin County?Senator
Person.'?
Prolonged applause followed this in
troc!uf*i< r. which re-echoed when the
oisiinguMie'l lawmaker arose t<? t peal*.
Ser.ator Person expressed his pleas
ure at being at a meeting where men
(wore bc;ng entertained who were :ro
ir.g to ilglu for him. The reluct;.nee
j to speak upon that occasion owing to
!r.n indisposition, was lost in his de
sire to be of some service to the n: *n
who were about to entrain for cump.
Slid ! c in part :
; "1 fin) not going to war because I
ji.m tco old to fieht and too fat to run,
but I want you men who are going, to
I fight until h' freezes over and then
fight upon the ice. I don't want you to
be like the man about whom Senator
belLion, one day he encountered a man
running, and Vance said 'what in the
;n are you running for?' 'because I
Ican't fly.' retorted the retreating sol
> dier.
j "Don't give up." continued the spea
ker. "be brave men. and if yeu do that,
the majority of you will come back
'home better men than you were when
!you went there, but if you run. you
will be shot in the back, and die the
|death of a deserved coward."
| The former legislator showed a thor
lough knowledge of the war and the
j problems eminating from it; he told
of the ruthless murder of women and
children by the atrocious Huns, and
I gave a detailed account of the torture
j and punishment meted out to those of
the Allies who were unfortunate
'enough to fall into their hands as pris
! oners of war. He ended his magnifi
cent speech with a promise to the draf
Itees, that upon their victorious return
from France, each one would find him
self a homestead which had been
bought and paid for by our govern
ment. As he sat down, he was cheered
to the echo by the large audience of
colored pople.
GERMAN SOLDIERS NOW SAT 10,.
000,000 TANKS IN FRANCE.
With the American Army on the
Aisne-Marne Front. July 21.?A Ger
man prisoner captured by the Ameri
cans today formerly was a baker in
New York and Lebanon, Penn. He
wan nuked what the German soldiers
thought about the Americans since
Thursday and the prisoner said the
Germans had concluded that the an
nouncement that a million Americans
were in France was false, and that ru
mors among the Germans on this front
are that there are 10,000,000 Americans
France.
"YANKS HAYR NO BRAfNSr
WONT QUIT" SAYS HI'N
New ("Katie, Pa.. July 22.?"The Am
erican soldiers have no brains because
they don't know when tor quit." That
was the observation made to Captain
H. C. Harper, of this City, a member
r>f Pershing's army of more than a mil
lion by a German prisoner. "The Hun
told me," he writes, "that France Ja
flgfttlng for her existence, England for
her honor, but that America wants
nothing only to kill Germans."
