Three cases in the town and fourteen or fifteen nearby the town. Prominent white people are among those afflicted. It is not said the cases are severe. Governor Kitchin last Thursday appointed Brigadier-General J. F. Armfield, of States ville, adjutant general, to succeed General T. R. Robertson. It is understood that General Robertson, who has filled the office faithfully and efficiently, will be transferred to the head of some other department. By breaking a glass window thieves finished out about $150 worth of watches and rings from the Twin City Paynshop on Liber ty street, Winston Salrm, one morn ing last week. This is the second time the place has been robbed since it started business there last fall. There is no clue to the guilty parties. W. F. Williams, employed as lineman for, the Durham traction company, suffered a broked leg one day last week being run down by a street car. He was crossing the street to board a car and did noi observe a second one approaching He stepped in front of it and was knocked down by the lender. A compound fracture resulted.

Kitchin last Thursday granted two pardons, one is an un conditional pardon of T. S. Jones, ol Johnston county, sentenced to the roads for 18 months for retail ing. T. V. Vaughn, of Durham county, was pardoned on good be havior. He was convicted at May term of court, 1908, for cruelly beating his daughter and sent to the roads for eighteen months. Mr. Chas. U. Harris, of Raleigh, has brought suit to settle a point of law m regard to the new school tax district, formed out of portions of Wake and Chatham Counties, by a special aot of the last Legislature. Harris claims the Legislature had no power to form a district oat por tions of two counties or nullify the peccial tax voted in the old dis trict last February. The family of Oliver Thratt, a trucker and in en tor, living on the outskirts of Fayettville, narrowly escaped a harrowing death one morning last week, when between 1 and 2 o'clock the father was awak ened by a burning shingle falling on his hand. The household was arous ed and made their escape just in time, for as they fled from the build ,ng the roof came crushing "in. They were housed and clothed by kindly neighbors. It was after wards learned that the $600 insur ance policy, which was burned with tbe house, expired at noon the day of the fire. vjovernor Jiitchin last wees aj - jxnnted six delegates to First American Congress of Road Build ers, to be held in Seattle, Wash., July 4th to 8th.

Crowded out last week. , : It becomes our painful duty to chronicle and give the facts so fur V . - i - f . as fcuuwn, oi a regular carnival ot blood that occured early on Wed nesday morning ot last week. Our clever and general postmaster at Rock Creek, Mr. M. F. Culler, was rudely awakened from his peaceful slumber, about two f o'clock, that morning by a; mighty uproar and commotion . going on out in the yard. He rushed out to investi gate the cause o the "riotous ram page" taking place on his premises at such an unearthly hour and to his horror found twelve dead bodies scattered around here and there wel tering in their own blood. The cause of all this slaughter was not at first known but after day light a closer investigation revealed the fact that, some worthless dog had raided tne ponltry House, scareing tne oens ,lum "C4 aim I down, killing each one by tearing a great hole in its side or back. Alter a careful count he found one turkey i ji i j .... i .J x .. uauxy mangieu tuat mey uau w ue killed. Mr. Culler regrets exceedingly ihe fact that he did not get an op portunity to do some slaughtering himself. We can imagine about how he felc when he saw all those fine hens dead but will not attempt to recall the "thoughts" that prob ably escaped his lips in "stage whis- Ders for there are times when it is best to let the dead past bury its dead. We spmpathize with him in his loss. In Memory of My Husband, Thos. D. Jeffreys. "Tie hard to break the tender cord When love has bound the heart, 'Tis hard so hard to speak the word That we mast forever part. Dearest husband we have layed thee In the grave's peaceful embrace, But the memory will be cherished Till we see thy heavenly face. We'miss the from our .home husband, We miss the from thy place, A shadow o'er our life is cast, We miss the sunshine of thy face. We miss thy kind and willing htnd, Thy fond and earnest care. Our home is dark without thee, We miss thee everywhere. fln.ll not hacK the dear departed Anchored safe where storms are o'er On the border land we left him, Soon to meet and part no more. Far beyond this world of care, I shall find my missing husband, In our Father's mansion fair. One by one earth's ties are broken As we see our love decay, And the hopea so fondly cherished, Brighten but to pass away. Jesus while our hearts are bleeding - O'er the spoils that death has won, We would this solemn meeting' Calmly say, Thy will be done. Though cast down we're not forsaken Though afflicted not alone. Thou did'st give and Thou hast taken, Blessed Lord, "Tby will be done." fFritten by his wife. Hartshorn No. 1 Items Crowded out last week. Cross Road school closed on last Tuesday. The exercises were good and a larcre crowd present. Some 9 & good remarks were made by Dr. Long, of Uraham, and by Kev. Mr. Edwards, of near Kimesville. LittleMiss Bertha lslev, otJtJurl- ington, has been visiting her grand- father. S. L.

Soots have done some much needed work on the road through their tarm which the carrier appreciates very much. Thank you boys, hope tl others will do the same.

The adop tion of the Reed rules v against, a strong' and belligerent minority in tlje. Fifty-first Congress was a pro-' traded proceeding; ' The House met a usual early in December with the majority determined to amend the rules, yet it was not un til the middle of February, follow ing that the revised rules were a dopted. The House in the mean time, when not engaged in wrang ling over the rules, did ' only what business it could under general par liamentary law. The present extra session was summoned to revise the tariff. The business of the country waits until thi vital matter of tariff rpviainn ia timahMi It Wftft II n- tim.iv nnH nnwisft to thrust the mac- ter of revi8ing the rules into the flneoifil Rpssion. It threatened to dl8- tract the attention Gf the House and jpiv for;ffflfition indeflnitelv. Han pilyj thia danger was averted by the .. r day. This compromise does not dimin ish the proper power of the majori ty of the House to control the House business. The lines under the old rules, as construed by Speak er Cannon, .were too tense in sever al particulars and the compromise relaxes them and gives more play to individual ambition. It will di minish the dissatisfaction that many members felt with the rules, even thoUgh unwilling to go to the length of opposing them openly. Administrator's Notice.
