Hog Kills 1 Flock of Sheep.
At R. S. Sherrill's farm,
three miles east of town, during
Wednesday night and yesterday
morning, a large Poland China
stock hog viciously attacked
flock of sheep in the pasture and
killed five lambs and 12 grown
sheep. Only one of the flock,
lamb which was in a far end of
the pasture, escaped. The deadly
work of the animal was not dis
covered until yesterday morning,
when Mr. bnerrill, w no lives in
town, drove to the farm to see his
flocks and give the negro tenants
on the place instructions about
the farm work. A number of the
sheep attacked near the barn were
hardly dead when Mr. Sherrill
discovered them and drove- the
hog away.
, The hog had grown up in the
pasture with the sheep and had
never shown any signs of vicious
ness until Wednesday. States-

Tobacco Growers of Nort& Carolina and
Virginia Meet In Oanill e. :
Danville,-;VaMy aJUWith
an attendance of fully . 800. far
era. from the tobacco growing dis
trictB ot the two States the Farm
ers protective Association of Vir
ginia aucf North Carolina con
vened here today, It was decided
to continue the operation of the
warehouse, which was started a
year ago under the auspices of the
Association, were the farmers
could place their tobacco to be
held until a price deemed just by
a Bpecial committee is offered for
the product and the sale made
privately. This is one of the
means of fighting the tobacco
trust and of doing away with the
public auction sales, which have
been the method of selling tobac
co almost since it was first grown.
It was also decided to raise a fund
of . $30,000 by -popular . subscrip
tiou in order to advance money
to farmers on their growing crops
Several speecheswere made ar
raigning the American Tobacco
Company for being responsible
for the low price paid for the raw
material and the poor condition
of the tillers of the soil.
Tbe Foremost Task.
The chief political task for
Ncrth Carolina is to bring about
effectual means of expressing
popular opinion. That is the es
sential task of every Democracy,
As- we nave it now, opinion is
agreed upon by a few and handed
down in conventions to trie peo
ple. We shall not have true
Democracy until opinion is form
ed by the people and handed
down to their servants. As we
have it now opinion is subsidiary
to the office and the office-seeker ;
and also heaven defend us--to
r
the party 1 As we have it no
the people have no opportunity to
form opinion on matters of con-
cern to tnem the subjects on
which they must have opinion are
arranged; just like programmes
in Baptist union meetings! As
we shall have it, the people will
think for themselves and they
will think on questions vital to
themselves. They will make the
programmes, not the politicians.
As we have it now the politicians
rule; as we shall have it the peo
ple will rule; as it is now pel
itics is a contest tor omce ; as we
shall have it politics will" be the
expression 01 tne common-sense
o'fthe Commonwealth. Biblical

Fatalmes Reported,
Durham; May 2. The V Carr
lina, Durham's" principal hotel i
was entirely destroyed by Qre of
unknown origin which was dis
covered in one of the rooms of the
north wing, at 11:15 o'block ,6
oight. The hotel was a large
frame structure and the flames
had a good start on the firemen,
who, though they worked valiant
ly, could not do more than save
surrounding property from" de
Hruction. This task was accom
plished well;
There were between 50 and 75
guests in the hotel and all escap
ed without injury so far as can be
learned, though most of them lost
their personal effects.
For a time the whole block was
in danger and the Raleigh fire de
partment was asked for assist
ance, but the local firemen mas
tered the situation before this aid
could arrive.
The hotel was the property of
Gen. Julian S. Carr and was un
dbr the management of Alphonso
Cobb. The loss will reach $100,
UUU and tne amount 01 insurance
is not known at this time.
Wanted. I will pay $20 per month
for farm hands and furnish
