l:j tacit cla-at. . , Eimwood Camp, W. 0. WV was de lightfully entertained at its meeting, Thursday night hy Sov. W. H. Fairtess of Norfolk Va. " His eloquent portrayal of the great mission of Woodcraft was indeed sub lime" The motto of the order "Dum Tacit, Clamat"kmeaning "Love, Honor Remembrance" was so beautifully il lustrated, as to make every member present feel thankful that he was a Woodman, and all resolved that in fu ture they would make more strenuous efforts, to extend the blessings of Woodcraft, the object of which is to enable its membership, to minister to the afflicted; to relieve distress; to seek employment for those without it: to cast a sheltering arm about the defense less living; to give an honorable burial to its sacred dead; and to place a per manent toktn of esteem upon his grave; to so impress the grand doctrine of brotherhood of man upon the mem bership as to make it an important fac tor in their daily lines; to encourage broad, charitable views; to make them more intelligent citizens; truer friends; gentler sons; more thoughtful brothers; more considerate husbands, and more reasonable fathers, It is for mutual benefit, where misfortune assails, and for substantial aid for loved ones when they are gone. ' It is for fraternal benefits upon fra ternal principles. It is for business benefits upon sound, conservative busi ness principles. It is for social benefits upon ;tbe highest-social principles ""known to moral law. It is a happy, intermingling of fraternal, social, and business lelations, each standing upon its own merits, each having its own in dividuality, each being responsible for its own department. While one, yet three a finite trinity; the trinity of a human life, fraternal, social and finan- . cial. ! The next regular meeting will be held Wednesday evening, April 5th., when it is earnestly hoped that every member who can possibly do so, will attend and pledge anew his earnest ef forts for the advancement of a cause so worthy, so enobling. i Death of J.

Dear Sirs: ox give full weight of good coal. So do we 231 inches to a gallon of paint that takes fewet gallons than mixed paint and wears twice as long as lead-and-oil,-and allow our agent to sell it on this guarantee: "If you have any fault to find with this paint either now in putting it on, or hereafter in the wear, tell your deal er about it. "We authorize him to do what is right at our expense." x We know a dealer in coal, who de livered his coal with a public weigher's ticket (full weight) invited complaints and actually exchanged the coal when complaint was made, He had half the business; a dozen firms had the other half. We are 150 years old, but not too old to sell paint as that dealer sold coal. We like to pay damages when there are any. Yours truly, F. W. DEVOE & CO. 112 P. S. E. W. Smallwood sells our paint.

As the first day of April is over and times for "fooles" are past, we will make known to the readers of the Journal a few jokes that were pass ed. The young lady students were the only ones that were engaged in such business, for if any of the cadets had even thought of fun in any manner and put it into execution, perhaps he would have been on the square for six or more hours as we have said before "Campus duty in the spice of life", we still stick to the true statement and be lieve very firmly that the faculty think "it is some use." i Saturday morning when" we marched in the Mess Hall we saw a very large sheet of paper suspended from the electric light, on this were very neatly made letters and by careful study we were able to spell our daily, weekly and monthly bill of fare, guess what is in please? Next all the. chairs were wired together, and of course when one was pulled all at that table fell with no lit tle noise, in fact enough tomake the grits shake, hash gravey spill and the bonis rattle while the Irish potatoes and cold biscuit went rolling over the flour, but we held to the desert .: Two students went h m i this week to help on the f r i. One seems to have left a little unexpectedly as two boys were sent in hot pursuit but as luck played in the gamo for him the boat lie went on was a few miles down the river and the two pursuants were compelled to return minus their game iilthough it is a wonder they did not try to catch the steamer, as they love to obey orders so well, and these at the particular time were "bring that boy back to me." Wednesday afternoon, we will have a practice gamd with the graded school. Friday afternoon, at 8 p. m. we will cross bats with Cove, the name is short but the team carries a long reputation as a fast country nine and all the play ers are home hitters, no doubt we will have all'we can easily manage and the game' promises to be one of the best of the season. All lovers of baseball will surely be there and root against the country "big nine". Admission 25 cents a very little sum to witness such a hotly contested game as there will be. Come all people and give us a whoop to victory. Cedar Point. April 3. We are having beautiful -weather now, and all the farmers show their appreciation by the earnest work they are doing. It seems to us most of the farmers have turned their attention to melon raising, this year. We think the "town loafer" and "July Pigs," will fare better than ever this year, if they retain their usual appetite. -v. Miss Lizzie Ennett closed her school at Silverdale last Friday.

Failed to Honor Soldier. We see our wise solons or animal and game lnw makers have ended their de liberations and gone home amidst the great applause of the politicians, for nobody else could find .any cause to ap plaud them. The legislature not only failed to do anything to benefit the people but left undone things that as patriotic North Carolinians, they could scarcely keep from doing. The noble women have been working for years to mark the last resting place of the Confederate dead, God bless them, but our wise legislators, shame upon them, refused to appropriate the the small sum necessary to erect a mon ument to the memory of their heroic leader, the brave Matt Ransom, Brave in fighting the battles of his country, in war time, wise in the councils of the nation in peace and true to the consti tuency he served, he was ever active in serving the best interests of the State which he loved, yet the legislature of North Carolina refuses to honor his memory, maybe the members had too many political projects, or personil af fairs of their own to look after. Surely their many laws protecting birds and animals destructive to crops, are not beneficial to farmers and to no one else unless it be a few idle sports men. 'Why did they not make laws pro tecting the boll weevil and curlew bug, there would have been ' just as much sense in it, ' Well, they are gone per haps to never return again, and the next week after their departure the Raleigh dispensary reported a falling oft in its sales for the week, twe hun dred dollars. What significance can be conjected from this. . B Shipping Notes. The tug Frank K, Eshrick came in Monday with barges Saturn and Uranus in tow to load with lumber.

A most horrible and sickening acci dent occurred on the A. & N. C. Rail road yesterday morning on the trestle over Scotts Creek a short distance south of James City., The train by which the accident happened was freight train NoJ 2. of which Mr. J. B. Davis was conductor, and Mr. N. H. Russell was engineer The train was west b jund from Morehead City. The acci dent occurred at 11 o'clock, , The woman was crossing the trestle with a little colored girl named Lilly Simmons. They were going to attend the funeral of a colored woman who was found dead in a tenant' hoose on the farm of Becton Davis. When about half way across .the bridge the Stiles woman aaw the train coming and hur ried onto the side to which she was go ing. Being a hyge woman and also in poor health Bhe could , not move fast The girl coming behind her stumbled and the Woman apparently fearing for the girl took hold of her hand to help her across the track. The woman see ing the train coming; upon them appear ed to be paralyzed with fear and in stead of attempting to save herself as could have easily been done assumed a squatting posture on the ties outside the rail. - ' - ' - When the train came along the cow catcher and the first car escaped her, but the journal of the front truek of the second car caught her dress and carried her back over the bridge and when released from the journal, the body was taken up by another and thus the body was rolled along the ties for about 50 feet When it) was finally dropped the body had scarcely a ' Bern blance of human form bo horribly was n vi rial. " The girl escaped injury entirely mere ly stepping off the bridge when the train waa upon , tfienv Had the woman jumped from the track even into the water below the bridge the accident would have been averted. Mr. Russell, the engineer, was run ning the train at a rate not exceeding 35 miles an hour and possibly not Bo fast. When he noticed the peril the woman was in he did all in his power to stop the train but found it impossible The fireman blew the warning whistle and used all precaution to prevent the accident He did not see the woman being on the opposite side of the en gine. Coroner Jones impanelled the follow' ing persons to compose a jury to Inves tigate the cause of the accident: N. C, Hughes, Ed. Bangert, Dempsey Wood, Guilford Lewis, Albert Bangert, E. H. Howe. They viewed the remains, had a session last night and the examination will continue today. - THEY COME AND CO. Sea inside pages for additional local news. Hons. C R. Thomaa ind D. F. Ward and Messrs.
