oped. History is repeating itself in activity
in real estate deals for North College
and Sixth streets, m the Norfolk-Southern
zone. The old Wadsworth home
place and former Wadsworth property
i on Sixth street are again the storm cen
ter "on the exchange."
The Wadsworth home place, bought
on the first round of big deals on Col
lege street with the Norfolk-Southern-coming
into that territory, by Dr.
John R. Irwin and Mr. J. Arthur Hen
derson, has been sold by them to Capt.
John A. Parker, A. Y. Byrd and others,
for a sum approximating $40,000.
The new owners have no immediate
plans as regards the property, but
being progressive and alert, it is safe
to say that they contemplate rich de
velopment of this valuable property in
the not far distant future. This develop
ment will be influenced and commensu
rate with the Norfolk-Southern develop
ment and the general commercializing
of North College and Sixth streets.
Another Big Deal in the N.-S. Zone.
Another deal of import and interest
in the same territory is the purchase
by Mr. W. L. Nicholson and others,

The new owners it is understood,
will develop the property at once, re

GEORGIA FARMER
MURDERS FAMILY;
SHOOTS SELF
By Associated Press.
Oak Park, Ga., March 20. J. A. Eu
bank5?, a farmer living near this place,
early today killed his wife and two
daughters as they slept, set fire to his
hour- and several other farm buildings
and then fired a bullet through his
forehead. He died several hours later.
Mrs. Eubanks' head was almost com
pletely severed from her body with an
axe. The two children, one aged four,
the other a baby six month3 old, were
stabbed to death. Mental derangement,
resulting from ill health is believed re
sponsible for the farmer's acts.
After committing the three murders
and firing his buildings, Eubanks
awakened a neighbor and told him
what he had done. He then shot him
self.
Eubanks' barn and several small
tenant houses were destroyed in the
fire he started. The residence was
only slightly damaged.
Eubanks was 30 years old.
With his family, Eubanks came to
this community a year ago from
Stillmore, Ga. He had established a
reputation here as a peaceable, in
dustrious planter. For many weeks he
had been in ill health and neighbors
believe his physical condition weighed
on his mind.
A note, left by Eubanks near the
place his wife and children .were
killed, said their domestic life had
been unhappy but made no reference
to his ill health.
A coroner's jury this afternoon held
merely that Mrs. Eubanks and her
children had come to. their death
through violence '.'at the hands ot
James A. . Eubank,;' who J.hcn commit
ted suicide." "

ty,, the Baptist laymen brought to a
close last night one of the greatest
Baptist meetings ever held in North
Carolina, a convention great In its ac
complishment?, great In the address
es, and one that will have a vast ef
fect on the missionary work of the
Baptists in North Carolina according
to the leaders.
President J. D. Bruner, of Chowan
College, presided, and following a
praise service. Dr. William H. Smith
delivered a stereonticon lecture on
missions. He was followed by Dr.
Bruner in a few remarks. Dr. William
Louis Poteat, of Wake Forest, then
presented 14 - sAident volunteers lor
mission work. These were conducted
to the platform, and prebented in
person to the audience. There were
eight young women, two of whom
came from the State Normal, and six
from Meredith. The six men pre
sented came from Wake Forest.
Christ's challenge to the Christian
man, said Dr. E. M. Poteat, was not
an easy one, not one that could be
met without personal sacrifice. Then
he read Christ's word3 to his dlclples
in which he told them that unless
they hate mother, father, brother, sis
ter, wife and even themselves, they
could not be his dlslple. Dr. Poteat
eald this meant that the family love
must-be subordinated to the love of
God. The real test Is whether a man
Is Christian or not, for unices the
people who send out the missionaries
are real Christians it will be impos
sible ' for them to evangelize the
world.
