STRANGE NEGRO
TRICKS MERCHANT
Plaom Hi Order For Food Supplies
Aad The Disappears a PoUucks-
. villa.
-' New Bern. May 4. One of ths
strangest stories heard here in some
time, rams yesterday from Pollocks
villa. Jones county, and ths cltisens
there who took part In the affair are
still-wondering if they did not dream
the entire occurrence ,
According to the story 'brought
here, a colored man arrived In the
town early on last Saturday morning
and stated that he waa the steward on
beard of a government survey boat
which had some up from Florida and
waa anchored in a stream a few miles
away.
The man went to one of the lead
ing merchants In the town and placed
an order for food supplies amounting
t fifty er sixty dollars and in which
waa Included fifty pounde of beef.
The merchants did not have the
beef bat told the negro that he would
get it for him and thla he did. In
the meantime the negro walked about
town. - went to the' postoffloe, called
for mall for a number of men . who
were eupposed to be on the boat and
was Informed that there was nothing
there for. them. . He then asked for
any old newspapers that might hap
pen to be lying around and was gives
a supply of theee. All during this
time the colored man- continued te
tell of the trip of the survey boat as
It came up from the wave kissed
shores, of Florida to the North Caro
lina. coast and. even went so far aa to
Invite a number of the cltisens of ths
town to pay the ship a visit orv Sun
day, declaring that he would be glad
to call for them on Ounday In a
launch. " - , '
In some way tha feUdW oDUterated
hfmoelf from the town a short time
later without anyone seeing him- and
while the merchant who had arrang
ed te furnish the supplies for the boat
wss awaiting the return of the black
man he was probably putting apace
between him and that town. Now the
strange part of the affair Ilea la the
fact that no such boat had ever been
In that part of the country. Just
where the negro came from or where
he went is another mystery but the
Worat part about It to the merchant
at least. Is the fact that he haa fifty
pounds of beef stsak on hand which
he cannot dispose ef.

every time you see a man drawing real joy out of a iimmy
pipe, for it's better than a five-to-bne shot he's . .king
Prince Albert, the tobacco high spot . v.LiiT:;lil
You; like a whole lot of men, never will know what a
barrel of fun can be dug from a pipe or a
makin's cigarette until Prince Albert passes
your piazza I ,. :
For it cAri'r bite your tongue, and it
can't1 parch your throat That's
why men the nation over know
their business when they demand
the national joy smoke
You should know this brand is made-r
by a patented process that removes
bite and parch. And Jet it drift in
that you can fire-up P. A. until the
icows come home and it just won't
make your tongue tingle I
So, you men with a sad pipe past, come
around somemore and sort of get acquainted
with Prince Albert Let the light of jimmy-
pipejoy break into your soul You 11 wonder
why you didn't wake up earlier and hear the
robins sing in the old cherry tree.
Get-started on the tidy red tin, then youli
graduate to the crystal-glass pound humidor
with the sponge-moistener top that keeps .
your P. A. fine like silk; A lot of men do
that thing. t; . -I-,
