JED. : PARRISS DEAD.
Sudden And Shocking News About
- -vve Known Man.
The following storv f mm' triiw
Point shocked many people in' the
oiaie last Monday . morning. : Mr.
Farriss was well known in -Greens-
ooro where he had many friends. The
news story of his death following his
mer-m-iaw's demise is strange. The
siory reads
, Perhaps never before has the city
been so severelv Khnoirori if w..,
this morning at announcement of the
death .at Washi

Farriss, city editor of the Enter
prise, ign Joint's , daily paper. On
nuay evening Mr. Farriss re
ceived .a telegram from Mrs. Farriss
W.a8hngt0n' C, stating that Mr.
Willis, her lather,, was very ill. Mr.
Farriss. "seemi-npi-ir - -;
O'J - mo U.COI Ul
health, departed on the first outgoing
-train for -J that : city. ; On reaching
there he was notifies that Mr. Willis
was no oeuer; - some few hours later
WOrd Came from -"the hnonitol ,,
Mr. Willis had died. It seems that
but. uarnss was resting from his trip
and was suddenly aroused with the
news and he immediately descended
the; stairs to comfort the family
when he was stricken with a severe
pain M the heart. MedicaV attention
was uumeaiy summoned, but befoit,

Mr. - Farriss was a young : man of
uuusuai aDinty in both the law and
in the Dublishin hnsi
uated rom the University Law School
at Cnapel Hill about six years ago
and located here for the practice of
his chosen profession. In this he was
successful -until he was called to as
sist his brother in the affairs of their

Crazy Alan Iioose.
A crazed man named Monroe Phil
lips at Brunswick, Ga. started out
in a' lawyer's "office, and: before he got
through shot five people, killing
three, of them.
That was a case of rabies. Had a
dog gone mad and bitten a f ew peo
pie they CVould: have ordered all the
dogs muzzled. ; But the man was
caught and will be cured. The other
men in Brunswick .have not been or
dered . muzzled or secured. That is
the only difference in - a man and a
dog...::.
To Be Sure.
- And now in the county papers, we
read letters from the Wise Ones tell
ing the readers that their represen
tatives and. senators have done big
things and good, things foXjfche peo
ple. v Especially whenrtfibeen n
bills of moral .measures-t appear
ing that maybe some would not en
dorse, the -friends are .rushing In . to
explain that the Honorable So and So
certainly consulted . conscience and
let the chips fall all over them.. .The
present, legislature has been . about
like . all of them. You can't make a
silk purse out of a sow's ear and you
can't make a statesman out of an or
dinary plug. . That is all there is of
it. Some members were all right and
some were all " wrong. But we take
it ; that all of them were honest ana
all of them did the best they could.
What more could we expect?
The Dog.
The legislature is going to adjourn
without outlawing the dog. It Is
well. The sheep the dogs kill have
been Phantom Sheep. We can't raise
sheep in North Carolina and every
body knows it. It takes grass and it
takes pastures. If we buy fertilizer
to make grass to raise sheep the
farmer would go to the poor house.
And there is no place for Mr. Sheep.
The dog has been standing around,
but he hasn't, killed any sheep Dts
cause , there have been no sheep to
kill. The idea to kill the dog or tax
him was a way to raise revenue. The
man who wants to own a dog should
have that privilege. In Calfornia
where they raise a million sheep to
one in North Carolina there are more
dogs-than are in the , Tar Heel State.
The dog doesn't kill one tenth of one
per cent of sheep. That Is a dream
from the pipe in the editorial room.
We are glad no dog law got through
this legislature. - -
It Isn't Funny.
. Gilliam Grissom's Protectionist
copies a great many articles from
Everything, and 'credits them to
"Everybrother's Fairthing." . .
Of course Mr. Grissom thinks that
is funny, nut it Isn't. There is no
such a publication" as "Everybroth
er's Fairthing ': and there Is no such
a publication as "Fairbrother's Ev
erything.' . , -
Everything is the only name this
publication has. "dt is enough. And
to distort or play on a name isn't
iustice. If Everything has . printed
anything that Mr. Grissom thinks
worth v of renroduction it should be
dignified with the name of the pub
lication from wnicn ne copiea iz.
' A moment's thought will convince
him that he - made a mistake." If
what we wrote was not serious, then
it . is not worth a place In his Protectionist.-
If it is worth while it is
worth the dignity of the name of the
Dublication that had the nerve to ut
ter the thought.
Pretty Good Profit. '
It is said that one cotton mill in
Gastonia, in 1914 earned 85 per cent
on its capital of : $18 0,000. This is
certainly a big profit, and the man
who - talks' against child labor can
use this as a whet atone upon which
to sharpen his knife. - But some of
them do not jearn 85 per cent.
HE SAYS GET BUSY.'
Colonel E. P. Wharton,. The Fly Ex
terminator. Says, Swat.
Colonel E. P.. Wharton who made
Greensboro ninety per cent flyless
last year says- the time to swat is
right now right when the first flies
of the season commence to show
themselves. Swat every one you
see. Encourage the children to swat
them, and if they appear to increase
put out ny paper and clean them no
No doubt Mr. Wharton did a great
worjc in Greensboro and his labors
were an - inspiration to other towns
ana cities in the state. -
Swat for the fly is com in er swat.
for the fly is here! ,
. . ' o . -:
Xot Much Hope.
It is said that the Government
Printing office is curtailing expenses
and many old time employes are be
ing laid off. The Wilson administra
tion is doing all it can to curtail. The
income . tax and "certain other new
laws have made it necessary to em
ploy a great many new men in new
fields. That is why those not actually
needed are being cut down in the
older departments.
A Bold. Bad Man.
Joe Reece had the nerve to say
that if the Rev. Murphy Williams
undertook to lay the corner stone of
his church last Sunday there would
be a blizzard or a cyclone. And he
undertook it and did it, and there
was a blizzard. This is some more
of the ground hog business. Men
who are in league with the devil we
read about in history. But to be in
league with the ground hog well,
Colonel Joe is the only one we know.
fav Swift Explains.
Mr. Swift a lawyer, presumedly
employed to fight child labor, gives it
out that 4ie has been disappointou.
Mr. Swift as a lawyer, talking about
legislation against the little children
of North Carolina, perhaps under
stands what he is doing. -.The child
labor laws have been worked to a fin
isher The mill men are dottig more
for unfortunate children than ' the
state ever did before. Those employ
ed to agitate and show up the weak
lings will perhaps hold their jobs. It
is hoped so.- ; But the people of North
Carolina are becoming wise 46 this
professional business. .
- After 'Em. -
Puck comes out strong against pa
tent medicines' and says the doctors'
trust can't scare it that It is against
the patent pill for poor people. There
are two- kinds of patent medicines,
the legitimate and the fake.
Under the Pure Food law where
we find the Tye whiskey taken out of
lots of the erstwhile invigorating
tonics; where we find opium barred,
the chances for doing harm with pa
tent medicine have been materially
reduced. However there are some
patent medicines that are all right.
And many of them are prescribed by
doctors. i y t

Walker Captured.
Jesse P. Walker, the noted outlaw
who broke jail at Southport in 1909
and for whose arrest or capture dead
or alive a reward of $850 had been
offered, was captured at Wilmington
Sunday. He was in a boat, was en
ticed ashore and six men went to
him. He had two pistols in each hip
pocket a 45 Colts and a , 32 auto
matic Colts 'but the six men rushed
in on him before he could get in ac
tion. Walker killed Sheriff Jackson
Standland of Brunswick, six years
ago.
"Wilmington Shoplifters.
Three negro women were arrest
ed In Wilmington Saturday for shop
lifting, and a search of their homes
revealed about $100 worth of goods
the darkies -had stolen. This is the
day the shop-lifter is in it. In a re
cent number of the Ladies Home
Journal a page is devoted to shop
lifting, and it seems to be a great in
dustry. The writer in the Journal
says that women become shop lifters
because their husbands do not" give
them spending money. But that
ought not be an excuse, v '''.; '
Pitiable. ' ;
It is indeed a sorrowful story
the political demise of Colonel Roose
velt. All agree that he is a dead
duck in the pit. He seems to have
tried to come again, but the last time
he hit the rafters he went through
the ceiling 'and disappeared.; He is
no longer in the public eye, and cer
tainly his name is not one. with which
to conjure. , -:
om
. . ,. In Bad.
Phillip P. White, a wealthy club
man and manager of a concern from
which he drew a salary of $8,000 a
year, has been arrested in New York
for being at the head of a gang of
auto bandits men who rob' stores
and hold up 'people on the streets.
Too bad that a fool drawing $8,000
a year and respectability with - it
could not have been satisfied.

. , INTERESTIXG LECTURES.
Dr. AT." C. Smith Putting Out Some
Thoughts ATorth AThile.
Dr. W. C. Smith, Professor of Eng
lish at the Normal College conducts
a Man's Bible Clasjj at the Presby
terian church, Greensboro, every Sun
day morning from- ten to eleven
o'clock. A friend asked us some sev
eral weeks ago to come down ana kv
what was doing. We went. We were
charmed. We have induced several
of our friends to 4 go men of the
world who do not often pause to go
to cnurcn noi oei;ause tney are
wicked but because they think there
it nothing of Interest. All who have
gone are still, going, and the Man's
Bible Class at the Presbyterian
Church, is the most Interesting thing
in Greensboro.
Dr. Smith is just now on a theme
that is splendid that gives him op
portunityto present Christ in situa
Hons few men ever thought about.
Christ in politics Christ among fal
len women Christ among thieves
Christ among lawyers themes which
might seem ultra; which might its
the unthinking seem almost bias
phemy 'but Dr. Smith is showing by
the Book that the greatest character
ever walking, the earth mixed with
men felt for them and told them
what to do. And that spirit of Christ
which pervades this world; that spu
it which is the esserice-of charity and
justice and truth is "shown so force
fully and so plainly by Dr. Smith,
that the man who misses opportunity
to share what is really and without
elaboration an "intellectual treat"-
a literary gem, each Sunday, is go
ing hungry without knowing it. All
are welcome to this Sunday service
and we would like 'for "more of our
friends to get there 'promptly at ten
o'clock. ' .
Two Years Of.lt.
On March the fourth we had had
two years' of President Wilson's ad
ministration, and some say it has
been wonderful and some say nay. ,
The tariff problem is a mixed on?,
but we all should agree that in keep
ing this nation out of war; in being
sane and remaining sane both in the
morning and in the evening Wilson
has been that. Not once has he lose
his head or his bearings he has
certainly piloted the Ship of State
into safety harbors. Other men, as
great as Wilson in other regards.
would have had us in a war.
The County Treasurer.
Many counties are doing away with
the office of county treasurer, letting
a bank or banks collect the taxes or
rather, handle the money. It is said
that this would save the tax payer's
money but in some cases we see
where this claim is denied.' One
county treasurer shows that he re
ceives enough interest on his money
from the banks to. more than pay his
salary.
Well, we . live in a new world a
new time, and pretty soon the whole
Nation will be run on a business
basis. - .
Raleigh In It
Raleigh . wilP have a little side
campaign.." It is said that T. .
Sale will run for Mayor. But here Is
betting on Mayor Johnson. He has
made good. He has stood up and
fought the bosses- he has come
through , clean. We are betting two
to one on Johnson. Sale may think
he is going to land something but
Johnson is not going to be turned
down by the people of Raleigh. Take
it from us brother . Rastus It is a
true bill. '..
When It Comes.
We are one of these days going
down and vote bonds for Byrd Coler's
railway. And we should do this. We
should invite him to come to our
town and we. should treat him well.
All the railroads we can get help just
that much, and' the Coler interests
are worth while. - We also want
Captain Fry's road and Buck Duke's
road. And we'll get 'em if we Just
sit steady in the boat and vote bonds
when they come along. No bette
investment' could be made.
, t-z - -
Where He is AVrong.
The State Board of Health gets a
big appropriation from the tax pay
ers and some of the money is used
to knock all kinds of patent medi
cines.
In other words tne State Board Ol
Health assumes that the doctors are
the only ones. Of course this is not
true, and the State Board of Health
should not be permitted to knock;
legitimate patent medicines. There
are many in this state deserving and
all right There are bad ones, but
there are good ones. The only trou
ble we ever found with the doctors
was that they imagine they are the
only ones who can . give people re
lief. . Christ was the greatest phy
sician the world ever knew and he
never wrote a prescription for med
icine. .:
The Hoffman House.
. The old Hoffman house of New
York is to be torn out and some
thing new will take its place. - The
Hoffman, like the National and Me
tropolitan xf Washington was a long
time headquarters tor the Southern
people. In fact the Hoffman Houtc
always had Southern guests, and to
let it get away seems like losing an
old friend. But it has lived its life.
o- .
AThooping lt Up.
. Young men and young women are
after the suffrage question and tne,
are holding debates, and" the Cause
Is being strengthened every day.
North Carolina was noV supposed to
become enthusiastic all at once, but
a vote of the people today, and a ma
jority would say-let woman vote if
she wantsito vote. Within five years
the men folk are going to insist that
she assume the responsibility she has
so long escaped. .' Woman is man's
superior: in all ' things unless in
brute force, and in these days of elec
tricity we can get machines to carry
the brick. - - . ' '
