wm 1 nthe city this morning on a
Brief flelt. When aaked ^whether
there iraa "anything new" tn hla
part of the county, he replied that ne
didn't know of anything. Mr. Von
?berstein expressed himself, how
ever, a# being greatly interested '.n
the State political situation and es
pecially in the campaign of J. Bryan
Crimes for re-election as Secretary
M BUt#.
. "A? a farmer," he began, "I w^nt
to wkj a few words to^the farmers of

"J. fcfyan Grimes Is a farmer, and

which has had ror its purpose tho

MIu Robwn Carter,. ,bM?uM of
her ability 11 a walker, yesterday
earned $45.. ?. Miss Isabella Car-)
ter, her consln, earned $6 and Dr.
U. W. Carter and Preston CaHer are
out the amounts of 940.95 and 910.
respectively. . Numerous "side bets" j
were won And lost and considerable
fair Anil czdtement was provided."
It a.l ?t (tried in an argument that
Miaa. Roben* ,had with her father.
Dr. Carter. She claimed "that she
could walk irom here to New Born
w!*ho?t any trouble. He said she 1
couldn't, ike declared that a Jaunt
iiuin here to Urapville would be
jeasy. Ue bald It would be prepos
terous.
Finally the doctor ?> made her a
proposition. The round-trip distance
from the Eureka mi'l to the 'bridge
across Jack's Creek Is a little short
of three miles. He ottered Miss .Car- ]
ter one cent for the Qrst trip, two
cents for the second, four cents for
the third, and so on, doubling It
each time. 8ffe took him up.
Yesterday morning Dr. Carter
went to OreenYllle on business. The
train had not crossed the Pamlico
river bridge before Mias Robena was J
out. She completed two trips before
"Breakfaat. After a light repapt, she
started out again. After the third j
trip she found out that it was lone
some walking, so she went around to
the home 'of her cpnaln. Miss Jsabel'e
Carter, and offered her |5 if ehe
would accompany -her. Ulaa Isabella-!
aooentad.
After the fourth or fifth trip, news
of the Incident began to spread
through the olty and the appearance
of the two young lad lee waa greeted
with oheers on the part of friends.
Than the proposition began to ap
peal to some of the sporting element
and ^tkrfjco mmea oed to make wagera
on't|k? leog^li of time the pedestrians
could hol^ out. Prefton Carter of
fered Miss Robaha an additioaal $10
If efe? would make twe.Tf_trln*.
Tiw, uw m u? iobi of
Mrs. George Haakney and atarted
out again. During the entire after
noon they kept it up. Supper they
took at the Hotel Louise. The walk
was resumed after supper.
At 7:30 Dr. Carter returned from
Greenville. He was met at the door
by Mrs. Carter. She told him of
what hud taken place. *
"lio?v luug bag she been walking?"
aeked the doctor.
"Since seven o'clock thla morn
ing," replied Mrs. Carter.
"How many trips has she made?"
be asked anxiously.
"I don't know exactly, about
twelve, I think," anawered Mrs. Car
ter. '
With an exclamation, Dr. Carter
rapidly found a piece of paper and a
pencil. He Ugnred for a minute or
two. Tben he dropped pencil and
paper and ran to the telephone. Mrs.
Carter heard him mutter somethiog
about "forty dollars!' as be waited
for central tb.' answer his call. He
communicated with Mrs. Hackney,
the Hotel Louise and Worthy &
Rtheridge'ffslrug store, asking tbenj
to notify Miss Robeoa that he was
satisfied and for her to "please stop
'walking."
Jesse Woolard, of Worthy A. Etti
eridge's happened to see the young
lsdieB pass. He went out and "flag
ged" them, 'delivering the doctor's
message. At first they were losth
to quit,' but when he convinced them
that he spoke the truth, they decided
to c.t'.l rtf their walk, although
declared Hurt "they were not
; least bit tired."
We attempted to secure an inter
vie# with Mlas Carter bat at eleven
o'c ock thla morning she was still
asleep. ? ?

tlnct unfriendliness mariife&fd by
the Carrarza forces which
at p*lomaB. Beven mlleg-^ifdutBf of
here, on, Friday night, has led to
great uneasiness not only among the
civilian population, but tn military
circles as well.
Army officers admit they are seri
ously puzzled by tho attitude of tho
Carranzistas.
Distrust of the Mexicans 1b so
great that army offlccrs have re
fusnd to permit Americans to cross
the border to Polomas. it Is also In
dicated that no troops will move
south from this place until some
deflnlte information is obtained as to
the future course of actlod of the
CarranziBtas and a definite pledge
obtained from Carranza.
To leave this force of armed Mex-',
