DOLPH i VOL. 5. AbttbBORO, N. C. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1909. NO. 22. nn RAM .DuLLJIiiliiNo SIMPSON COBLE MURDERED Aged Father and BrotHer-in-Law in Jail Accused of the Awful Crime. FOUND DYING IN DITCH NEAR HERMAN ELLIOTT'S. During the night of November 10th in Greene township, Guil ford county, near the Randolph county line, Simpson Coble was murdered by unknown parties. However suspicion points strong ly to the aged father of the mur dered man and his brother-in-law as the guilty ones and as a con sequence Dan Coble and Heitman Elliott are in the Guilford county jail awaiting a preliminary hear ing. Warrants are out for the arrest of other accomplices, who, it is claimed have fled to other parts. The trouble which culminated in the death of Coble seems to have originated at a blockade distillery operated by H. H. Holt near Heitman Elliott's. The of ficers who investigated the mat ter found evidences of a general fight having taken place near the place where the body was found, in a deep gully. The body was found first by H. H. Holt and John Amick who reported to the Guilford county sheriff, Wednesday night, that Simpson Coble was found by them that morning lying in a ten foot gully, near the home, Ipi Hight Elliott, and 'BarTiTas badly hurt, one eye being knock ed out, a deep cut on his head, his shoulder broken and the man unconscious. They said that they had been to Coble's house to see him early in the morning and his wife had told them he had not been home since the day be fore and the family was uneasy about him. ' From there they went on to Elliott's house, and . upon inquiring about Simpson, was told by both Dan Coble, the father, and Elliott the brother-in-law, that he was lying in a gully about 200 yards from the house, Dan Coble remarking at the time that he saw him there about 8 o'clock the night before, but would not bother with him for fear he might get mad and cuss him, saying further, that he, Elliott and his dead son had been enemis for three years, and though he saw blood on him he did not propose to got into a row by going to his assistance. Holt and Amick, said that they found Simpson lying in the gully apparently dead, one eye protrud ing from its socket and blood all over his face, but while the man seemed to be conscious he could not talk. With the assistance of the fa ther and brother-in-law the body was then taken to the injured man's home, about a quarter of a mile away, a physician sumon ed and the necessary attention given. Holt and Amick also stated that within ten feet of te gully, where the wounded man was found, there was a pool of blood, and fifty feet further there was the evidence of a fight between several men, blood strewing the ground between this point and the pool of blood near the guiiy It was common knowledge in the neighborhood, it is said, that Simpson Coble and his father and Elliott had been at enmity for years, and Tuesday night a fight was heard in the neighborhood of where the body was found, and a voice like Dan Coble's was heard to say, 'Til burst your brains out if you say that again." THE SOUTH AND HOOKWORM. Charlotte Observer. It is fairly well known that; hookworm, like pellegra, cannot be termed peculiar to the South ern American States. Dr. Char les W. Stiles discovered in the South an already recognized dis ease. But how widely this tiny worm has spread itself few are aware. Recent dispatches re port it as existing on the Pacific coast, and other discoveries in the United States outside the South may be made later on. In Central America one-fourth the population is said to suffer from hookworm anaemia. Warm coun tries throughot the world suffer more or less. In Europe the pest thrives as far r.orth as Belgium, on the shores of the North Sea, and is by no means unknown in northerly or mountainous coun tries like Switzerland and Aus tria. So the South has plenty of company. We regret that there is any company, but the aid and comfort accruing need not be overlooked. Let the Southern press give hoomworm disease's widespread occurrence all the publicity it can. Let the South ern press, too, point ont that ex aggerated accounts have gone forth; that a people among whom hookworm anemia is the rule rather than the comparatively rare exceptin could never have waged the civil war nor built up the great industrial development which has followed. Secretary of Agriculture Wil son recently went through a large part of North Carolina and as his hosts .desired him to berifrank in Jaii comments .'of . what he saw.' The number and magnitude of factories he found impressive; agricultural methods had not im proved as much as they should; signs of hojkworm disease, the Secretary took occasion to say, were conspicuous by their ab sence. Mr. Wilson saw, That every intelligent observer recog nizes in this section, an energetic people who only need to get off some wrong paths and overcome some misfortunes to make the re markable progress which they are making now. The South wants riddance of whatever hook worm disease may exist and a good deal doubtless exists in spe cial localities; but the South ha; never been hookworm-eaten ana was never less so than now. Within the past two weeks this section has received some thing like one million dollar's worth of bad advertising, for the most part a peculiar offensive sort. We believe that all South ern interests can and should unite in an effort to lessen the dam age. The Rev. Ira. R.

Simpson's Drug Store. As the Guess ing The Bulletin's great guessing contest is starting off satisfac torily. More guesses have been recorded to date than we expec ted during the first week. How ever let no one feel discouraged as there is just as good opportu nity now to win some of those valuable prizes as when the con test first opened. At this stage of the game the guesses are nec essarily scattered over a wide range of numbers and it may be that several days will elapse be fore the hits are bunched around the "bull's eye." It will not be safe nevertheless, to put off guessing too long, as some stray shot may smash right into the center of the target and carry off the largest of the 17 prizes offered. From this date on the guessing will be more spirited as people are spending lots of time counting the number of grains in a half gallon fruit jar and when they are satisfied in their minds they are going to pay a year's subscription and take a CATTLE TICKS LESSEN YIELD OF BEEF AND MILK. . ' AT cattWiiitiiathasirreacheid the engorged stage weighs about 5 grains, and about 1,500 such ticks weigh a pound. As cattle in the tick region often carry many thousands of these blood sucking parasites, and as each tick during the period of attach ment to an animal draws consid erably more than its own weight in blood, it can be seen that these ticks constitute an enor mous drain on the cattle which they infest. This accounts for the fact that under such condi tions it is impossible to fatten cattle even on rich pastures- and with an abundance of good feed. A large part of the nourisment that should go toward producing beef and milk is consumed by the ticks. In addition to the loss of blood and nourishment there ! in the never-ceasing irritation caused by the ticks, so that the existence of the infested cattle is beset with continual suffering and this of courese also tends to keep them in poor condition. The shrinkage in the milk pro duction of a cow harboring many ticks will average one quart a day, and the loss occasioned thereby is 3 cents 'a quart for the 875,000 ticky dairy cattle out of more than 4,000,000 below the quarantine line would amount to $26,250 a day. Counting 300 milking days for each cow to the year would make the loss from this cause $7,975,000 per annum. Full information as to how to get rid of the ticks including di rections for the preparation of dips and sprays, the arrangement of pastures, etc., may be obtain ed free upon application to the Bureau of Animal Industry, De partment of Agriculture, Wash ington, D. - Young Girls are Victims of headache as well as older women, but ad get quick lelief and prompt cure from Dr. King's New Life Pills, the world's best remedy, for sick and nervous headaches.

Farmers are counting corn to "beat the band," and these horny handed sons of toil are hard to beat on guessing at the value of a good horse or the number of , grains in half gallon of corn and we wouldn't be at all surprised if some of this har dy class of our best citizens, who read the Bulletin don't carry that sewing machine home to his wife or chuck one of vhose yellow coins in his jeans for a rainy day, just because he knows more about corn than his town and city cousins. But the interest in the contest is not confined to any class of people or section of country; all present and prospec tive readers of the Bulletin are taking a lively interest in the game and before the contest closes, December 18th a large number of new names will ap pear on our mailing list.

Millions of feet of timber and finished lumber rot every year in railroad ties, bridges, trestles, piles, farm buildings, fences, poles and mine props. The-lum-ber consuming public of the Uni ted States pays perhaps thirty to forty million dollars a year to make good the losses from wood decay. These great drains are a source of more concern each year. Chemists and engineers who have to do with the uses of wood are working unceasingly on the prob lem. The U. S. Forest Service has men who devote their whole time to it. The importance of the problem cannot be overesti mated. Millions of dollars are annually saved by preservative treatment of timbers, but much yet remains to be learned. Wood decay is caused by fun gus, a vegetable growth some times so small that it can be seen only with a microscope. Its roots or branches, like minute hairs, force their way into the wood tissues and absorb or eat away the solid parts. The collapse which results is called decay. Timber is artificially preserved by forcing into its cells and pores certain substances which prevent the growth of fungi. As long as this substance is present in sufficient quantity, the germs of decay the threads and pores of fungus cannot enter and the wood is preserved. This often means doubling and sometimes trebling the life of the timber. The United States government considers the investigations of the preservative treatment of timber of such importance that the business of one office of the United States Forest Service, that of Wood Preservation, with new headquarters at Madison, ACC1DENTLY SHOOTS HIMSELF Young Man Meets Death in Pecu y liar Way. Itarrison Winslow, ab ut nine teen years old, son of J. R. Wins lowi residing on a farm near Trinity, met with a tragic death Monday morning. The young man together with his brother-in-law, John Brown, were in the woods cutting timber. They were cutting down a tree in which they supposed squirrels were housed and when the tree started to fall youn? Winslow ran -for his gun which he had placed near by. He grasped the gun near the muzzle and at the same moment, while looking backward and upward for the squirrels, the hammer of the gun accidently struck some object discharging it, the shot striking his neck just under the chin and ranging diagonally upward cut off the base of the skull back of the ear, death resulting instant ly. ,,, The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock Rev. Har vey, pastor of the High Point Friends Church, conducting the services. A large concourse of sorrowing relatives and sympa thizing friends followed the body to its last resting place. Put up Hit Pictchfork. When Mr. Roosevelt was Presi dent he recalled an invitation that had been sent to Senator Ben Tillman,' of South Carolina, to dine at the White House. Till man declined to contribute ten dollars toward a luncheon to President Taft, in Columbia, S. C. Honors are supposed now to be even, and President Taft in vited Tillman to accompany him through the latter's state. The South Carolina statesman laid aside his pitchfork and accepted the invitation. Philadelphia Press. A Card From Mr. Mrs. C Elwood Stanton. We desire to express through your paper our profound grati tude to our friends and good people of this vacinity for . their sympathy and many deed 5 of kindness shown us during the af fliction and death of our little daughter, Grace. These deeds of kindness have been a great com fort to us in this sad and trying hour of affliction and death. f Respectfully, Mr. and Mrs. G. Elwood Stanton. Negro Better Off in America. Dr. Ernest Lyon, American minister to Liberia and mihfsel a negro, advises American negroes against hoping to better their condition in Liberia. For one thing, he says, the native Afri can entertains against the negro from America a prejudice which is very strong. This prejudice impresses us as rather strange. It is certainly calculated to make the Southern negro feel more than ever that his true and only home lies over here. Charlotte Observer. Wis., is given over entirely to the work of experiments in co operation with railroad companies and other corporations and indi- ! viduals in prolonging the life of railroad ties, mine props, bridge timber., fence posts, and trans mission poles. The lengthening of the life of timber means the saving of thousands of dollars annually through doing away with the heavy expense of labor and cost of material for renewals.
