Marshall great interest is being awaken
ed in the project and a big crowd of good
roads advocates will be Jn Raleign .Feb-
ruary I4th to attend a. crmvention ot
delegates from all the counties it tra
verses. Many responses are being re-,
ceived to the invitation to the conven
tion issued by the Wake County Good
Roads Association and the prospects
point to one of the best good roads
meetings ever held in the State. The
idea of having a great "Central High
way" from the ocean to the mountains
has the endorsement or organizations in
cities and towns along the proposed
road and those behind the movement be
lieve that with the proper co-operation
the road can be built. The county of
ficials and mayors of all cities and towns
along the route are urged to appoint
delegates to this convention an1 send
names to Dr. J..M. Templeton. president
of the Wake County Goods Roads Asso

Governor Kitchin issued a requisition
today on the governor of Virginia for
Emma Green, alias "Rev. Mack" who is
held in Martinsville, Va., for Raleigh
authorities to answer the charge of kid
napping the little child of Adam Avery
and wife here s last November. The
father, who was first arrested, as under
suspicion of having to do with the dis
appearance of the child, located the wo
man in Martinsville and brought about
her arrest. She secured the child by go
ing to the Avery home where the little
child had been left by the mother with
a small girl. The latter she sent away
on an errand and when she returned the
woman and the child were gone. Some
time ago a negro woman named Lizzie
Burnett, alias "Rev. Mack," was arrest
ed in Greensboro on the same charge,
but it developed that she was not the
right person. Avery kept on the look
out, however, and now he has landed a
different woman in Virginia.

Believes They Cause Spread of Infantile
Paralysis.
Middletown, Conn., Jan. 20. That the
spread of infantile paralysis may have
been due to fleas or some other blood
sucking insects carried in the hair of
cats or dogs is the statement made in
a report which ha been prepared for
the State Board of Health by Prof. Her
bert W. Conn, head of the biological de
partment of Wesleyan University, who
has been investigating an epidemic of
the disease which prevailed recently in
Middlesex county.
He says his investigations indicate
that the spread of the malady was pro
bably ' not, accomplished through milk,
water or, fruit -
JlJJ. .factf A r says ttW5fP?rt'
"would be explained ; upon- the ' nsmnp
tion that a few fleas may have become
infected from one or two original cases
and that these few fleas scattered them
selves over the localities, being carried
to and fro upon the skin of animals and
mat some oi tnem aiterwara nad an
opportunity to get upon children and
bite them, thus producing the disease."
GOLD RING IN HEN EGG
The Great American Hen Does a New
Stunt by Laying An Egg With a Ring
In It.
A gold ring on the inside of a perfect
ly sound and perfectly normal hen egg!
That is the seeming miracle that Mr.
T. G. Lowe, salesman for the Wall Mer
cantile Company, saj-s is vouched for to
him by unimpeachable nuthority.
The other day Mr. R. H. Poindexter,
of the city water works bought some
eggs from the Wall Mercantile Company.
Mr. Lowe was the salesman who waited
on him. Yesterday Mr. Poindexter was
in the store and told Mr. Lowe that Mrs.
Poindexter in breaking one of the eggs
was astounded to see a gold ring drop
out of the shell along with the usual
contents of an egg shell.
"This is a true story there's no doubt
in the world about it," said Mr. Lowe.
"No, it is not a scheme of Wall Mer
cantile Company to sell a big lot of
eggs," he added. "Naturally we can't
promise to purchasers of our eggs any
repetitions of Mrs. Poindexter's exper
ience." Christian Endeavor Meeting.

Justice of the Peace Collins.
Mr. C. M. Edwards, who was arrested
in Raleigh Thursday, will be given a
hearing this morning before Justice of
the Peace D. H. Collins on the charge
of criminally assaulting the six-year old
daughter of Mr. C. E. McLean. Col.
J. A. Barringer has been retained by
the prosecutor, while Messrs, Stern and
Swift represent the defendant.
The hearing will occur at 10 o'clock
unless Col. Barringer is compelled to be
in Superior court at that time. A num
ber of witnesses will be on hand and the
case will probably take up some little
time. Mr. McLean still contends that
Edwards is the right man, while the
defendant says he will have no trouble
in showing that he was in Fuqua Springs
on the date the crime was committed.
Mr. Swift was in Fuqua Springs yester
day to summon witnesses to testify to
Edwards' innocense.
There is considerable interest in the
hearing. A number of people believe
that the right man has been captured,
while others are somewhat in doubt as
to the identity of the guilty person.

done a plumbing and heating business
