Register of Deeds and Rev. A. G. Kirkman, did the marriage feat of his lifejyesterday afternoon by uniting two brothers and two siaters in matrimony bonds at one and the same time. The parties were: Mr. Warner L. Jones to Miss Ella S. Miller, and Mr. Settle W. Jones to Miss Jennie S. Miller. The ceremony was performed nt the home of the brides uncle Mr. D. L. Miller. near Hickory Grove church, in Friend ship township and was witnessed by some twenty or thirty-five relatives and neighbors of the young couples. The brides were beautifully attired. After the ceremony had been performed the party was invited into the dining room where an eloquent repast was served by Mrs. D. I. Miller and Miss Mable. Mil ler. The brides were originally from Pennsylvania, but have resided in this county for several years. Their father has been dead for some time and their mother died last year. Soon after the young ladies went to live with their uncle, the Messrs Jones who live near there, began to pay them attention, the double-header marriage ceremony yesterday being the result. One of the most interesting features of the ceremony is that the older brother got the younger sister and the younger brother got the elder sister. Parties here, who are acquainted with Nat Crump, the Davidson county outlaw, who shot Clay Scrubs, and later fired into another crowd of white men, putting riflle balls through two mens hats, are suggesting that the ne gro who killed the Asheville police of ficers, and two negroes Tuesday night is Crump, and not Will Harris. Crump like Harris, escaped from the penitentiary, but unlike the Mecklen burg outlaw, was open and bold in his lawlessness, and always a crack shot with a rifllo, After breaking out of the penitentiary, Crump j went back to Davidson, but a reward of f 1,000 for his capture offered by Clay Scrubs caused him to go west, and the last time heard from, Crump was some where in the Asheville section. As an evidence of Crumps fine workmanship with a rifle, a gentleman here from Davidson relates that in Crumps last villianous was waylaying of a party of men in a buggy, he declared he had not wanted to kill them, but only scare them and so simply shot through their hats, just above the head. That is where two of the men found the damage done. The plant of the Empire Steel and Iron Works, which is situated north of city, is to be torn down and the ma-' chinery shipped to Pennsylvania. Work was stopped at the plant three years ago owing to the lack of ore in this sec tion. The ore beds at Ore Hill fur nished the Bupply for a long time. The land on which the plant is located will not be sold. The twenty young men who for the last few months have been studying pharmacy under B. F.

(Speciai Correspondence) Raleigh, Nov. 17-Today the little girl-bride, Amanda Carter, who is evi dently but little over 13 years of age was sent to her mother, whose home is Ty-Ty, Ga., the Sunshiners having rais ed the money to pay thn railway fare. The little creature was departed by belt boy-husband, who seems to have been but a little over 16 years of age in this city about 2 months ago and has been most kindly cared for since -by new friends who .become grea.ly attached to her. Her case is a very sad one. Little and young as she is, yet it seems that she was regularly married by a minister in the house of her mother to a boy who attended school and who, it is said lives in Boston. She says that he claimed to have been born in Cuba. She has never heard a word from him since he left her. He told her she would never see on hear from him again and that he was going to Richmond. The child is so small that her head barely comes to the shoulders of an average girl of 12 years of age. ACROSS MCHANNEL A & N C Trains Now Crossing to Beaufort. The first train to cross the bridge be tween Morehead City and Beaufort, passed over Saturday afternoon at four o'clock. This item at first thought conveys but very little information, but on reflection can be considered of the utmost importance. Over fifiy years ago the good people of this section taxed themselves to build a section of jftilroad to connect the mountains of North Carolina with the Beaboard. The building of the A & N C road from Goldsboro to Morehead City accomp lished a part of the desired purpose but not quite. :- Beaufort is the capital of Carteret county, a registered seaport town with fairly good harbor, traffic as passen gers heretofore have been transported in an uncertain way between the two towns. The completion of a track across that channel means great things for Eastern North Carolina. Cape Lookout is one of the finest seaports on the AtUntic coast and will eventually be a great government coaling station, as well as an outlet for the shipping of theSUte. Condensing the News of the World "The World at Large," in the Met ropolitan Magazine, is a tremendous time saver, and it Jannot help being popular with the hurried man of bus! ness who scarcely has time to read hia morning and evening paper. This de partment condenses for ifs readers ev cry month the news of the world, and presents it in tabloid form strikingly illustrated. The material and illuatra tions which go Into this department are gathered from the four corners of the globe. When a bui y man has so much trouble to read one newspaper a day It ia very comforting for him to have somebody eta read all of them and pick out for him all that he wants to and ought to read, but which he never has time to choose f himself. m e Fresh lot of frankfurters and country hams at Oaks Market. ii Change of Date for Annual Meeting of Tobacco Grow- ers Protective Asso'n. WEEKLY TAR HEEL EN- JOYING PROSPERITY. Arrangements Being Made for Poultry Show. Farm of W. C. Bain Con ducted on Modern Principles and is an Interesting Place to Visit. Special Correspondence Greensboro, Nov. 19. Secretary of the State Audubon Society, T. Gilbert Pearson, returned last night from Washington, where he had been in at- ten lance on the annual session of the American Ornithological Association. There were over three hundred dele gates present from all parts of the Uni ted States and the session lasted three days. Professor Pearson gave a lect ure on the colony bird of North Caro lina. The subject from what the Wash ington papers had to say about as well as the lecture, was one of the most in teresting of the whole series. The col ony birds are those on the coast, which nest in groups, are principally the laughing gull, and black skinner and three species of terns, locally called strikers." Professor Pearson showed that when the protective work of the North Caro lina Associatien began in 1903, there were only 1,700 eggs in all those colo nies. By protective care fur the three years, the number of young birds (not eggs) have reached in 1906 10,000 There now fifty wardens actively at work in North Carolina. Before the North Carolina Farmers Protective Association adjourned Fri day night, Winston was selected as the place for holding the next annual sea- ion, and the date was changed from November to the second Friday in July This date was selected, so that the as sociation might be able to meet before the beginning of sales of tobacco, in order that any recommendation it might make in regard to the policy of marketing tobacco could be put into ef fect before the Trust had gobbled up any of the crop The association pass ed highly eulogistic resolutions on the work of the retiring president, John S, Cunningham, and i nanimously elected him as Chairman of the State Board of Directors. At a meeting of the stockholders and board of directors of the Weekly Tar Heel here Friday night at which 14,200 of the $5,000 stock of the corporation was represented, E. Spencer Blackburn was re-elected president and Jonn Crouch secretary and treasurer and managing editor. The new board of directors is composed of E. Spencer Blackburn, John Crouch of Greensboro, J. E. Jones of North Wilkesboro, J. O. Oorsett of Spencer, C. J. Harris of Dillsboro.
