Marshal Dockerv and family
are at Wrightsville Beach. They

Dr. Winston, president of the
A. & M. College, whan apprised
last night of the sad fate of Mr
Wall, pxprs3d the deepest re

The dismissal of. Herbert W
Bowen for several years United
Statee minister to Venezuela and
the exoneration of Aesistant Sec
retary of State Frances 6. Loomis,
of the allegations of malf essence
of office brought against him by
Mr. Bowen, are the outcome of the
Loomis-Bowen controversy, which
has attracted wide attention for
many months past. This disposi
tion of the case is made by Fresi
dent Roosevelt in a letter addressed
o Secretary Taf t.
Mr. J. P. Withrow. a well
known merchant of Hollis jand EI-
lenboro, Cleveland county, pro
poses to. build a church at Hills
with tobacco tags. Every tobacco
chewdr can contribute his part to
this cause. Instead of throwing
away the tags, just drop them into
your pocket and forward them to
J. P. Withrow, Holiis, N. C. Mr.
Withrow bought and sold $1,000
worth of tobacco tags last year,
which fact will give a very clear
idea of how easy it will be to col
lect enough tags to build a tine
church.
