spirits and he told her if he did not get
bHck to dinner at 1 o'clock not to ex
pect him until tea. However, his work
developed so that he returned home
about 2 o'clock and found the bouse
locked up. He thought nothing of
ti e fnattfr piesumlng that Mrs. Jones
had gone out not expecting him until
evening. However, at 6 o'clock when
he returned home the house was still
locked. He forced open a window, went
in and found his wife In their room,

NONE BETTER THAN
THE N. C. TROOPS
Tribute from a Union Soldier.
He Orders Regimental
Histories
Among the orders recently received
by State Librarian M. O. Sherrili for
sets of Xorth Carolina Regimental His
tories from people north of Mason and
Dixon's line, is one of unusual Inter
est from Mr. Ezra H. Ripple of Scran
ton, Pa., in which after directing at
tention to the enclosure of a check for
the price of a set of the books and ex
press charges, he says:
"I was a Union soldier, but am In
terested in anything that records brav
ery and heroism of American soldiers
on either side. There were no better
soldiers in the war of lSSl-a than the
Xorth Carolina troops."
It is a regretable fact that the sales
of these Regimental Histories have not
been as large of late as they should
be and it Is notable thatfa large per
cent, of the orders received ore from
elsewhere than North Carolina and in
fact than the southern states. It Is :
set of books that should be in every
Xcrth Carolina home and the fact that
the state sel's them for the actual cost
of printing and binding leaves little
or no excuse for any citizen of even
very moderate means not having a set
In his home. They cost only for
the six large leather bound volume?
with a very small additional cost for
postage or express charges. Th? sale
of the histories Is In the hands of Mr.
M. O. Sherrell. state librarian.

Gov. Aycock on yesterday issued a
proclomation offering $4' 0 reward for
the arrest of Arthur L. Bishop of Pe

for the killing of T. J. Wilson In the
latter's home. The reword was request
ed by the mayor of Charlotte and the
Mecklenburg county commissioners,
who. It is understood, will offer addi
tional rewards.
There seems to be still no tangible
clue to the whereabouts of Bishop. In
this connection the following speciti!
sent out from Petersburg, Vn.,- the
home of Bishop's family, will be roai
with interest:
"It is reported tonight that Bishop
came Into Petersburg this morning:
and after having a talk with relatives
and friends left for parts unknown.
The saddest part of the unfortunate
affair is the great suffering the young
man's act has occasioned his family.
His wife has been ill ever since hear
ing of her husband's act, and is said to
be unconscious."
