This season the Mighty Haag

necessary to add several more rail

required to transport the huge

chariots, tableau cars, elephants,
camels, horses, ponies, men snd wo

It was only by exercising great di

able to get the animal out of tne

the exception of long horns on It
and feet like a cow, forming one-of
the funniest ssd freakiest combina

regarded as sacred by the lAttves

Theother exhibits of animal life
are equally" as rare, making a visit
to the Haag show menageries of far
greater educational value than ever

of all the books at hand on the sub

Eight Prisoners Try to Escipe
From Wikt Jail .
ATTEMPT UNSUCCESSFUL

KR, Birr FAIL TO GBT KEYS
FOR OUTSIDE DOOR. AND WERE
DRIVEN BACK BY POLICE
Raleigh, Sept. 29.?This morning
about 7 o'clock eight negro prison
er* in Wake county jail made a dar
ing hut unsuccessful attempt to es
cape by overpowering the assistant
Jailer and taking his kaya but for
tunately assistance arrived and pre
vented the delivery.
Mr. O. O. Green the assistant Jail
er; want lntothe Jail to pat some
pans to prepare breakfast for the
prisoners. Acy Bonn and another
negro were conoaalad behind some
blankets, and when Mr. Green ea
tered they jumped on him and took
a bonch of keys from &ls person.
They next put the Jailer 1ft a cell
and locked him up and the eight
prisoners that were ia that set!on
made a rush to the: outside door,
rortunately for the county, but un
fortunately for thf prisoners, they
had failed to secure the key to tha
outside door, and while they were
trying the various keys they had,
Mr. Green waa calling for asstst
anoe.
Luckily Chief of Police Stell was I
passing near the jail and, hearing
the cry. hastened to his assistance.
Reaching the onter door, he cover-1
ed the prisoners with his pistol and
ordered them to stand back.
At this point a difficult situation
confronted the officer. He was on
the outaide and couldn't get in; the
prisoners were on the Inside and
couldn't get out and the Jailer who
had the outer door key was locked
in s cell.
Mr. Oreon couldn't get out.ftf jfce
cell to open the outer door snd the
pair way to hlf oat wf, 1. pa?-J
?etalon at tilt MSTOM.
Chief Stell, covering them with
his pistol made them'unlock the cell
door and release the 1 aller. and the
two officiate Uien forced tbe re be I -
llousu prisoners back to their cells.
Bunn waa .convicted In superior
court" yesterday of stealing money
from the cash drawer at Mr. Julius
HVller'a place of business and sen
tenced to serve tw.o years on the
ads.
It was a bold attemt, and had
they not overlooked the key to the
outer door, doubtlesa there wouid
have been eight prisoners at liberty
today. }

lyour own personal future as well as
that of your wife and chtldroi, for
without the advancement of Wash
ington along with other towns you
must shoulder the burden oi being
called "Hayseeds" and "Backdates"
by the more progressive townB.
There are at least 100 buelncs?
mon in Washington who should feel
disgraced Id fact, hide their faces
from the general public when the?
see new people bring money in the
lor.n that they'had day after day
and month after moir.li le.'asc-u to
assist In getting theso new neoplo,
to town. |
The beat towns In the T7nlt<*?f
States, the towns that develop the1
fastest and are most up-to-date, are'
those In which the citizens keep a |
live Chamber of Commerce and back
it up by substantial, Judicious adrer-1
tlslng
Washington Is a logical point of'
Eastern North Carolina for a large |
town, but unless the people get to
gether and do their part there 13 a
likelihood that it will be "Little'
Washington" fory many days and ev
ien Belhaven may surpass it.
I You can't multiply your talents
I if you keep them buried and if you |
refuse to attempt to let the out-side
world l;now of your advantages,,
you are burying your talents.
I am leaving the Chamber of
Commerce with a good and substan
tial list of members as when ! took
charge, except by people leaving
town?during this time the merch
ants report a hard year, which, with
the lack of interest manifested, has
I taken .considerable effort to keep up
jtho membership.
I trust every one of the present I
(members will not only continue In
| the organization, but strive to get
other members and In this way
strengthen the body. Put enthus
iasm In the work which will more
rapidly develop the town that you
may be benefitted.

COM MITTBE OF THE CHCBCH
AND WOMAN'S BETTERMENT
ASSOCIATION AND THE YOtJNG
MEN'S CHRISTIAN LEAGUE TO
WORK FOR LIBRARY.
Mr. President and Gentleman of
the Chamber of Commerce:
During bo ?ut year Washington
has not had on hand any particular
educational prrUet to call oat the
actlTitles of tout committee, and
for this reason the committee regret
that they have no definite report of
work accomplished to report .to you.
The chairman did not know until
very recently thnt It waa your cus
tom to have this committee anbmlt
written report annually. Thla
Information came too late for the
committee to undertake any definite
ork.
We may ssy that the matter of a
public library for Washington has
been discussed to some extent, and
i committee believe that It will be
wise for the committee of this Cham
ber to work in connection with a
similar committee from the Woman's
Betterment Association, and one
from the Young Men's Christian Lsa
gueu. looking to the establishment
of a public library In our city.
We are o' the opinion that euch a
committee can render a decided ser
vice to the children of this city by
endeavoring to bring the cltltena
and the school into the closest pos
sible touch with oach other and we,
hope that our successors may do
some definite work in that direction
Respectfully submitted.
