A single purchase. U. S. Commis-'
aioner Hill said that under the fed
oral statute a single sale doesn't con

PROVING GOOD BEHAVIOR
A PROBLEM.
County officials do not seem to be
much disturbed over the recent let
ter from the State Board of Chari
ties, stating that they are violating
the law by not allowing prisoners five
days off of each month for good be
havior in accordance with a 1913
law. The officials, It is believed, are
willing to comply with the law with
out hesitation, but are perplexed to
And what constitutes good behavior
in the Lenoir county camp, where
there are now around seventy blacks
mostly of the ilass of vagrants who
have troubled the local authorities; by
congregating in the negro sections of
Xi nil ton and are repeatedly recom
mitted because of their incorrigibil
ity. The law of might enforced good
conduct in the camp, and few of the
Convicts have shown the disposition
to behave well of their own accord, it
la said. The behavior of ten men who
a year ago mutinied, assaulted their
guards and escaped is only what
would happen every day if sufficient
precautions were not taken, officials
say.

FROM DEATH'S JAWSJ PAIAMA ILOIH
Negro' Pushing a Wheelbarrow,
Walked In Front of a Norfolk
Southern Passenger Train, and
Suffered Minor Bruises.
To take a ride in his own wheel
barrow with a locomotive as the mo
tive power was an experience which
came to Ed. McCarter without the
seeking this morning,, McCarter, a
negro employed by the. Imperial To
bacco Company,' was trundling the
larrow across the Norfolk Southern
Railroad yard within 200 feet of the
passenger station, and misunder
stood the frantic signals of a flagman
who tried to wave him back as an in
coming train approached. The train,
a passenger from Goldsboro, struck
McCarter in the back, knocking him
across the wheelbarrow.
Providence Beemingly took an in
terest in the situation, for when the
black realized what was happening he
was lying on the barrow, which was
moving at a speed faster than its
creaking wheels had ever before
known, his feet against the engine's
fender and the wheelbarrow handles
held fast in the cowcatcher. The
wheelbarrow rolled nicely, on a level
keel. People at the station covered
their eyes, and the engineer was
about to sweat.
When the train was brought to a
stop McCarter got out of the wheel
barrow and found that the end of a
finger was bleeding, and that he had
a pain in his back from contact with
the engine. The finger, incidentally,
was a blunt finger that had been pre
viously shortened by another acci
dent. McCarter probably won't be
over his fright for some time.
SHERIFF GOES FOR
MUCH-WANTED OFFENDER
Sheriff A. W. Taylor will leave to
night for Peoria, III., to take charge
of John Allen, a negro express office
robber, who indiscreetly wrote to
friends here and betrayed his loca
tion. Allen was a member of the

er, now doing thirty years in State's
prison for burglary. He and others
of the gang were sentenced to road
terms at the same time that Parker
was sentenced to the penitenitary ser
eral years ago. Alten escaped after
serving about fourteen months of an
eighteen-months term. With him
went Claud Sutton, another member
of the Parker outfit, who is also be
lieved to be in the vicinity of Peoria.
Allen was betrayed by a negro here,
and at the request of the sheriff's of
fice the Peoria police located him in
a coal yard, and are now trying to
And Sutton. The gang to which they
belonged was the most troublesome
to ever operate here, stealing hun
dreds of dollars' worth of stuff from
stores, cars and the office of the
Southern Express Company with per
fect abandon, and in one instance
making off with a barrel of formal
dehyde and other goods which Were of
no use to them.

"You come in and see my Florence oil
cook stove work just once and you
won't be happy until you have one.
"You can have a slow, simmering fire
on one burner at the same time you have
a quick, hot fire on another and the
other one regulated exactly to any work
you want done. Just set the levers at
you want them and you can go away
for two hours and find all the burners at
exactly the same heat when you come
back. That's because the oil supply is
automatic and there are no wicks.
"It's so simple, so clean, so conveni
ent, so cool, that I don't know what I
should do without it. "
"My husband haa tested the FLOR

produces a wenderfut amount of heat
for the oil consumed and that it costs
only about two cants an hour to run
four burners."
