At the store of Mr. C R. White, on
Means street, $7.00 in money waa ta
ken from a email iron fe. The key
to th aafe iu left in the desk and
thia wai taken and 'he safe opened.
At the repair ahop of Mr. L. E. Lipe
a wateh is among tht articles missing
and Mr. Lipe also found another
watch just in the fear of the store,
. that waa evidently left by the pillag
ers. On account of the large stock of
goods at A. F. Hartsell ft Co. it eoald
not be learned what article of value
were taken, with the exception of! sev
ral boxes of eandy. .
' There i no clue as to who' entered
the stores or the time the deed;was

' What Happened Down at Tarboro.
The Tarboro Southerner tells the
following atorv. It is a good one: ;
'- "A lady who does not live a hun
dred mi lee from this, office suspected
her lmsband was in the habk of
kissino- the oratiT, servant girl and
resolved to detect him in the act
After watehino- some time for an.
ooDortunitv she heard him enter the
. kitehen quietly one evening when the
niwttv servant sirl was out." 6he im-
miuliiifaW nlaeed a Bhawl aver her
Wd and with matches in hand and
heart burning with jealousy, entered
the darksome kitchen by the - back
door and iwas almost immediately
seised and embraced and kissed . in
' the most ardent manner. Burning
with rage and bent on administering
a terrible rebuke ehe tore loose from
hi embrace and struck a match and
. here stood face to face with the serv
ing girl's beau. Her lmsband says
after thia his wife waa never more
affectionate. "Wnee the day they, were
married." . --. -

latest and best thing out, they are
" cheaper to operate and the line con-

War Cams'! Explanation EiU U be
a Cloak Eaemiea Probing for Mo
tive. . ;
Special to Baltimore 6tin. -;
Washington. Mareh 9. By Demo
crats and that element of Republicans
in Washington who are opposed to
President Tift, the possible political
significance of the sudden rushing of
the American military and, naval
forces within' striking distance of the
Mexican border is regarded as of
great importance, and every move is
being watched with keenest interest.
The official explanation of the mobi
lisation of the troope,ihat it is for
the purpose of indulging in a war
game of "maneuvers," is held to be
an extremely thin and perfectly trans
parent cloak, useful in hiding the real
purpose of the President and his ad-
vieers. - i ?-:. -x.
It i recognized that there is a more
serious reason than the one officially
given and that the situation is load
ed with political dynamite. The pos
sibilities of an American invasion of
Mexico; of a war of conquest, or of
some dramatic and forceful move npon
the part of the American foreei that
will rush the insurrectltm and estab
lish Urmly the tottering Mexican Got-
eminent, protecting American inter
ests and investments in a way . to
arouse the admiration and pride of
the people m their President, are be
ing widely speculated npon
A great deal of skepticism is heard
here as to the possibility of European
intervention in Mexico and the eug
geation of such a thing is character
ized a "bosh."
A note is also detected in the talk
oo the effect that the whole business
hae its inspiration r in wall - street,
where the big investors, who have their
millions tied up in Mexico Are anx
ious- that they shall -be guarded. If
American, money is to be spent, and,
possibly, American blood spilled, to
protect the interest of the Morgans
and. the Ouggenheims, then the Dem
ocrats are calculated to make the moat
of that as a campaign issue when Coin
gross convenes,
Certain it is that if the veil is -not
lifted -by the Administration as to its
real motives before that time there
will be a prompt introduction s&reSOi
for speeine Information. ' .
