New Bern Does Not
Want It.
As far a3 we are concerned we hope
the government will select New Bern
as the last place for a postal savings
bank. We want to see money stay at
home. Postal banks take it away and
its earning power lost to us. The local
banka pays more interest, anyway,
and money deposited in a local bank
is loaned to people who use it in de
veloping local enterprises and busi
nesses. -New Bern Sun.

Cashier Luther V. Hart, of the Bank
of Tarboro, is dead, and Assistant
Cashier E. B. Hussey is in jail charg
ed with complicity in the misappropri
ation of more than $100,000 of the banks
funds as a result of a visit to the bank
Wednesday by State Bank Examiner
J. K. Dovghton. Hart- died from a
self-inflicted bullet wound, and the
discovery of the shortage and arrest
of Hussey followed shortly afterwards
when bank officials and Examiner
Uoughton made a hasty inyestieation
of the bank’s books. Pending a full
investigation the affairs of institu
tion are in the hands of state officials.
It i« feared the thefts of Hart and
Hussey will fall heavily upon the de
positors. Hussey has made a full con
fession, and is being held in default of
$15,000 bond.
ACTS ABOVE SUSPICION.
Examiner Doughton called at the
bank for the purpose of making his
regular official inspection. The ex
amination, at the request of Cashier
Hart, was deferred until after luneh.
Hart remained at his post until the
regular noon hour, performing his
duties in a manner that caused no ope
to become suspicious. On his way
home for lunch he met a business ac-;
quaintance and after a short conver- social
sation on general topics agreed to
meet him to discuss some business mat
ters immediately after dinner.
THE FATAL SHOT
Nothing unusual was noted in his
manner when he arrived at home, and
while his wife was making final ar
rangements lor the noonday meal he
went upstairs, supposedly to make his
toilet for oinner. A few seconds later
Mrs. Hart and the servanda were start
led to hear the report of a pistol, and
ruahing to the room from whence the
report came they were horrified to
find the body of her husband and mas
ter lyii^ prone upon the bed, blood
oozing from a bullet hole Jn his head,
telling its own sickening story. Mr.
Hart remained unconcious until 4
pclock that afternoon, when death re»
lieved all earthly pain and cares.

A cyclonic wind, rain and electrical
storm sw^tover Danville, Va., Sun
day afternoon from 4:30 to 5:30o’clock,
inflicting damage estimated at $100,000
to $250,000, chiefly in the unroofing and
flooding of cotton mills, tobacco
factories, storage plants, destruction of
trees, shrubbery, chimneys, awnings,
porches, telegraph, telephone and
electric transmission poles and wires.
The trolley service of the city was
suspended and tied up for twenty-four
hours. The entire telephone service of
the city was out of commission ani the
city isolated.
The heaviest damage to buildings
was ip the tmsiness section. The
storm came suddenly from west north
west. Main street, noted for its heavy
shade of okl oaks, elms and maples,
some of them of gigantic dimensions,
waa a scene of Jesolation. The broad
residence thoroughfare was bkicked at
many points by prostrated trees, the
telephone and trolley wires and poles.
Hundreds of the oldest and largest
shade trees, the pride of the city,
were delimbed, tom and uproated, and
filled lawns and streets with wreck
age. This heavy shade, however, saved
the best re«dence section by the
resistance they offered to the storm.

There was a good road meeting held
at Hillsboro last Friday the 16th, com
posed of citizens of that town, and a
company of gentlemen, the scout car
tourest who are seeking the most eli-
gable rout for the great Highway
from seashore to mountain, from
Morehead to Morristown, Tenn. The
meeting was interesting, many facts
relatir^ to good roads were practicaly
stated, and many good ta'ks made.
After the meeting at Hillsboro the
party by urgent invitation came to
Mebane and spent a short time with
our people fraternlzeing with them.
Our people met them enmasse in front
of the Mebane Dtug Store. The visi
tors were taken in and tendered a
brief reception, meeting a number of
our citizens, they were offered light
refteshments, and cigars. After this
the Hon. H. B. Varner, president of
the goodroad movement of the state,
was asked to say a few words on good
roads, he responded in a few well
chosen words, Mr. Varner, was fol-

Mr. John F. McAdams of Orange

Mr. Peace was everlastingly right
in his statement before the Chamber
of Commerce Monday night as to the
general efficacy of the paint brush in
improving the appearance of a town
There is probably nothing else in all
the world that for the same cost will
accomplish as much in the direction
indicated as a generous application of
the paint brush. And Mr. Peace was
also correct in his further statement
that a stranger, in looking over
Henderson, is liable to get the idea that
paint and paint brushes, which in most
cities and towns are found to be
necessary and reasonably cheap com
modities, must undoubtedly be both
very dear and yery scarce articles
hereabouts, it one might judge of the
situation from the only too plainly
apparent need of them on almost all
hands.—Henderson Gold Leaf.
