GOINO HOME TO DIE.
A Sight Sufficient to Create Sympa
thy In the Hardest Heart.
Last night at the Southern depot
among the crowd congregated there,
where some were hurrying to and fro,
some jolly and mirthful, thinking pos
sibly of a visit to some friend, the
ever present traveling man with his
grip waiting for the train and still
others, mere curiosity seekers, a Tel
egram man noticed a sad faced man
with a child in his arms and three oth
er small children crouching close be
side him on the bench in tbe waiting
room. Near by was the wife and
mother, pale, weak and emaciated.
Approaching the man we learned that
his name was M. F. Moffitt, that the
sick -woman was his wife and those
were their children. They were for
merly from West Virginia, but have
been in this state some years living
near Red Springs, in Robeson county,
and were going back to West Virginia.
The poor woman's face told the story,
She was going home to die, being in
the last stage of consumption. The
sad, anxious look depicted on the
face of the husband and father told
something of the great weight on his
heart.
Few of the throng passing and jost
ling around them seemed to notice
them, but to this writer it was a sad
picture.
received a summons to come upon the
scene. Goun Palmer, a rowdy negro,
had gotten to fighting and had cut in
the face and across the breast a negro
woman named Jennie Smith. That
put an end to Palmer's fun. He was
tried in the mayor's court yesterday
afternoon and in default of a $100
bond was sentenced to jail to await the
next term of court.
Denutv Sheriff Crouch carried him
x-
to Greensboro iast night.
Jennie Smith, the woman cut, is not
seriously hut.
The board will meet tonight instead
of Ionday night, which was their reg
ular time. They will tonight consider
the advisability of changing the hour
set as a limit to the operations of the
bowling alley at night.
Quite a number of white people went
out to hear Claretta Nora Avery's
sermon last uight. All agree that she
is a wonderful freak of nature, inspi
ration or whatever each, decides to
aerree upon as the source of her mar
velous outpouring of speech.
It is learned with regret that thecon
dition of Mr. A. B. Smith is still un
improved.
Gentry's show gave their parade
here Monday, but the rain prevented
the night performance.

It is a well known fact that habitual
users of alcoholic liquors are regard
ed by insurance companies as "bad
risks." Statistics show that beer
drinkers, and brewers especially, are
likely to die soon after passing the
age of forty. A well known editor of
a religious paper, commenting upon
this, says that in wandering through a

that the men buried there had not been
drunkards but prosperous business
men, and he "could find no explana
tion of the death age at the most vig
orous period of life, than that of the
beer-drinking habit." Beer, say its
advocates, is "fattening." So it is
but it is not flesh-forming. It does not
contribute to the building of new tis
sue, it simply prevents the old, worn
out, useless particles 'from escaping
in the natural way. The man who in
creases his weight by drinking beer is
carrying around just so much super
fluous flesh which the vitality of the
body proper is severely taxed to sustain.
