WOMEN'S CLUB IS ORGANIZED
The WilUamaton .Woman's Club
was organized tast week with the
following officers: Mrs. W. 0. Har
rell. President; Mrs. Wheeler liar
tinll Jt.. Vice-President; Mrs. P. W.
Heft,' Md *\flce-?repl<Jent;" Mrs. * A.
D. Mlc?II, a**retgry; Mre.' Jobn Li
Hasnell, Treasurer.
The woueft. began a careful In
quiry to find Jqst whyit their friends
end bods were doing when not en
gaged la their. usual duties of the
day. And to their utter astonish
ment, they found certain men who
would Secrete themselves In some
back room and play poker. Other
young men, It was discovered, were
breaking into public buildings. The
school building had actuairy been
broken, into on many occasions and
high-handed gambling carried on. It
was also found that the court house
had been entered by opening a de
fective blind and playing in the petit
jury room. But the.thing that was
molt mortifying to the good women,
was that many of them found that
their small boya had seen with their
keSn and quick discerning eyes, the
playing and gambling by their Teth
ers and older brothers, and were
likewise congregating in outbuild
ings, clumps of woods and in other
hiding places and were gaming too.
No one ?'c* surprised at finding the
boya playing, as they had seen their
own fathers, lawmakers, doctors,
lawyers; educators, town , officers,
lty playing, and certainly they fol
lowed along. Th* women handled
the situation by simply asking thetr
husbands and sons to stop and look
at their! examples, and by keeping a
more vigilant eye on the email boy.
The result has been that more than
60 per cent, of this dangerous habit
has been stopped.
They found that the playftig of
rook, set beck, bridge, etc.,*to an
excess was detrimental, and a cause
for time-wasting; they fecund that
47 glrlg and 21 boys had~br<eA tardy
and lost their places on the honor
roll caused by late rook playing at
night and late sleeping in the morn
ing. That a few family spata had
occurred because of the neglect to
heve some small things looked after
such as aewlng buttons on pants,
etc., which might easily have been
done in the hours of wasted time.
The club has been wonderfully
successful with this problem by ad
vising their members and friends to
have an occasional game In some
good home where a pleasant even
ing can be passed surrounded by the
proper atmosphere.
Another very Important discovery
was the finding by 'many mothers
that their own little boys were smok
ing cigarettes. All these boys had
been told many times not to smoke,
and had given their solemn promise
not to do It. But force was brought
to besr^on them by their larger as
sociates and the seeing of growil ]
ups, doctors, lawyers and others |
very prominent in the town whom |

agreed to do hie beat to prevent any
other person from beginning a hab

tissue. And yon can now find ?try
few boys on the atreetg picking up

OAe other discovery made which
was s surprise was that the town Is
paying out more for shows than It
Is for schools. 1N0 complaint was
heard at the coat at shows, but
much growling and kicking against
taxee. It was conceded that an oc
casional show of good movlog pic
tures is not real harmful. But the
great number of pictures of heinous
men and beasts were making the
wrong impressions upon the young
minds of the town. The film trusts
bad advertised thousands of scenes
that had no foundation of truth in
them?had organised .voting con
ing contests, drawing contests and
other thing? calculated to excite the
mind and drift it from the thoughts
of mors important and real things.
Now only an occasion?^ show
which Is strictly censored More it
is allowed. The bi>f boanuof the
film trusts have been removed from
the prominent corners, especially
the postoffice. and the picture'Show
ha? been placcd behind the home,
the church and the school. And
much better results are seen in the
tschool work.
* ara only ^
k.which have been accomplished, s*
there sre hundreds of things In ev

And we have the faith in our wo
men to believe that they will do
their full duty.
HAD CRAP GAME;
EVERYBODY LOST
Six Young Xeftro Boys Were Ar
retted by t ho Police Yesterday.
A "crap" game, of rather unusual
nature, occurred on the gun club
grounds yesterday. The "unusual"
part of the game was that slthough
there were, six participants, every
one of them lost.
The game was conducted by slXi
young colored boys. They were
hard at .It when two police officers
arrived on the seen*. The officers
had a hard time coralling the
yotyigsters, but finally succeeded In
landing all of them in court.
The evidence in the court showed
that the gam* was quite a heavy ono
??the defendant? admitting that
they shot as high as two cents

They were fined costs of court?
about $17.00, which they split up
among them. The court also ad

parts of the anatomy by the parents

WHO WRONGKD II1M
W. J. Nichols Asks (inuid Jury In
vevti^juion of Certain Men In
Oklaliomu.
Raleigh, Sept. 11.?The troubles
of W. J. Nichols, the Pitt county
man, who claims that he was un
justly Imprisoned in the federal
prison at eLavenworth, Kan., on tlri
charge of ualng the mall* to defraud
will get an airing befpre the Fed
eral Corut in North Carolina if a
Joint letter and petition signed by
prominent friends of Nicholas ask
ing a federal grand jury Investiga
tion of charges made by Nichol* re
ceive? favorable attention.
The Immediate alleged unlawful
aet, the investigation of which Is
asked, is in connection with Nchols'
relations with a Arm of attorneys
io Oklahoma, it being charged that
these attorneys accepted pay for
getting Nichols' case apepalpd to the
Oklahonte Court of Appeals and
made only a& Indifferent effort to
effect the appeal. Included in the
evidence Is SA affidavit from the
(tank of Karmvllle that Mrs. Ms
rlnda V. Cobb, a sister of Nichols,
deposited the* sum of three hundred
dollars to the-credlt of the Oklahoma
lawyers and that they drew It all
out with the exception of fifteen
dollars.
It is claimed that thin act of the
Oklahoma attorney? Is a part of a
conspiracy, the head of which was
another Oklahoma lawyer with
whom the North Carolinian had rel
atione. As a result of the latter
phase of the conspiracy, Nichols
claimed that he was robbed of thous
ands of dollars, snd If he can have
his way the lawyer who he nays not
hie money will be brought to North
Carolina and tried before the Fed
eral Court.
Mr. Nichols went from this State
to Oklahoma about eight years ago.
He was at one time a member of
the North Carolina legislature. X

The many friends of Postmaster
N. Henry Moore and Charles, Fred
and" Allen Moore are today finding
keen enjoyment over the rather un
usual pr <~d!cament in which Messrs.
Mourn have found themselves.
It appears that the above named
gent'.emen, in company with a U. 8.
Postofficu Inspector, who was here

Sunday in Postmaster Moore's speed
boat, the 36-Long. The boat iS built
fonliigh speed and when she travels
through the water she throws con
siderable spray, hi order to avo:d
wetting their clothes, the passengers
attired themsolvos In bathing suits.
On the way down the river, the
Fostotlice" inspector was told of the
many historical spots in Bath and
he expressed a desire to see them
for himself. According the So-l.ong
was headed up Bath Creek and the
pass of era disembarked when the
to^n Vfc* reached.
Attired in their bathing nulls,
which were partly covered by rain
coal?, the party proceeded to take
in the Highly of the town. The na
tives were contilderably a?toH4?he<l
A.'ter having shown the inspector
the old governor's man-ion, tin
church and other points of int' rest,
the party returned ro the So-Long
and camv back home to Washing
ton.
Yesterday, however, Messrs. Moore
notified that they were under arrest
for indecent exposure nn th streets,
of Bath. They were notified to be
at the court in thai city toda v.

The outcome is awaited with a good
deal of Interest.

"1 kno'iV L>r. Dumba personally
very well, and from my conversa

he should have intended fomenting

have certa.nly and naturally felt a

humanitarian idea in inind, an ho

"The imperial and royal govern*

Vutiro-llungarian .?uhjects who re

that the whole matter of sending

the slightest desire for any compli
