GREENSBORO, Nov. 3 After a thor ough investigation by the county author ities and a representative of a charitable organization of the story told by Hazel Carter, the young white girl who was arrested Friday by local officers and who told a visionary story of having been lured away from her home at Wilmington by an older woman, it was yesterday discovered tha the girl's real name is Louise Roderick. It has also been proven that the girl was in no manner as innocent as the story she first told would lead one to believe. It was discovered that during her life she has escaped from no less than four rescue homes, the fourth being the one located on Silver Run avenue, this city. The one true part of her story is con cerning the location of her home which is really in Wilmington, but from re ports received of her home, It is no fit place for her to go or stay. From the authorities at Asheville it was learned that the record of Hazel or Louise there was bad, that she had deserted a good home there and that before arriving in the mountain city she had escaped from the rescue home at Greenville, S. C. E. J. Harold, secretary of the Inter- Church association, yesterday got in touch with some reliable parties at Wilmington who stated they were ready and willing to take the girl and give her every opportunity to start life anew. Accordingly the county commis sioners voted to purchase the girl a ticket to that place and she was a pas senger on the 12:55 train when it pulled out yesterday afternoon. But for fear the girl would change her mind at the last minute and dispose of her ticket, a eputy sheriff accompanied her to the cars and remained with her until the train was in motion. Needless to say the ticket was placed in the hands of the conductor of the train by the local officer so Hazel-Louise is probably in Wilmington this morning with a chance to "make good" if she so disposes. W. W. Miller left yesterday after noon for Louisberg. Master Clifford Earl Lupton left yesterday morning for Kershaw to spend a few days visiting his sister. Judge Henry G. Connor, of Wilson, arrived in the city yesterday afternoon and will convene Federal Court this morning. Sylvester Brown Killed at Havelock SUPPO SEDTO HAVE BEEN THROWN FROM A FREIGHT TRAIN. J. J.

Sometime a girl makes a remark like that. Well, she isn't going to be very happy ia married life, that is all 1 can say, for I am quite certain that if things go wrong ia the home, it is a wife's duty to tell her husband. I know that some women have the idea firmly fixed ia their heads that men hate to hear about domestic worries. Stuff and nonsense! To hear about do mestic worries annoy no real man; he rather appreciates being taken into full confidence and, if he is a shrewd individual at all, he may even be bold to suggest a remedy if things are not going so smoothly as wife would like. It is perfectly true that gome couples before marriage agree thai the man shall attend strictly to his own side and the wife to hers, and that they shall in no way interfere with each other in a word, each agree to act independently in his and her own par ticular field. Believe me, that is a very bad arrangement, and it is not at all conductive toward peace and happi ness existing in the home I think that where real affection exists there will be complete candor and frankness, and not one item will be withheld on either side. Obviously, a husband has every right to know what is taking place in the household; it is a wife's duty to keep him posted upon all matters, except, of course, in the case of a man who very plainly indicates that he will not tolerate being primed up on the latest happenings in the home uring his absence at business. Very, very few husbands are like that; most husbands are dt-Iighted if ives take them into the fullest con fidence and relate all their grievances, worries and vexations. And what is more calculated to ngnten burdens than confiding all about them to one you love and who loves you in return. Surely it must lighten a wife's bur den to hear the sympathetic words of husband; and may it not wonder f NO GUARDS NOR WEAPONS TO GOVERN PRISONERS, WHO ARE ALLOWED FULL FREEDOM. MR. LYTLE PROMOTED. by TIME GRANTED New York Banks Allow Mexican Grace MEXICO CITY, Nov. 2 The treas ury department announces that the New York banks holding the papers have granted an extension of time on the $1,000,000 interest due on the bonded indebtedness of the National Railway. The government purposes to raise the necessary funds by ask ing the foreign mining companies to deliver $1,000,000 bullion in exchange for Mexican paper m'oney at the rate of $4.70 paper to $1.00 gold. The offer bf the miners to supply the government with $250,000 ha not been accepted A high government official says it may be necessary to double the ex port taxes on gold and silver bullion. These taxes are now payable in gold on gold bullion and 4 cent per kilogram on silver. " It I announced here that the rait way will be formally delivered to the stockholders by the Mexican govern ment next week. MUNICIPAL TREE. Christmas ,To See One Erected In W New Bern. " .;- While the occasion 1 several weeks distant, plan are already under way to have a municipal Christmas tree in New Bern . during j the approaching yuletide season. Last year New Bern w among the few cities in the State which had one of these trees,' and. it proved to be a complete success in every way. The tree was erected under the supervision of a number of the ladies who takt an active part In the progress and : development of the City, and already, they are making plan to erect the tree again. The tree will in ail probability be placed at the corner of Broad and Middle streets, right in the business district of the city, and where it will be seen by the thousands ' who throng that section during the holiday season. worried her dreadfully? Moreover, what is a wife to do whea ia domes tic trouble if she doe not go to her husband and tell him all about it? Must she brood over the matter alone and perhaps end up by making her self perfectly wretched and miserable, or go to an outsider and be laughed at all over the neighborhood? A husband and wife agree to share troubles as well as joys, so it is but right that, if any matter connected and it is a common occurrence she should go to the one who has prom ised to share all with her her husband. When big things annoy a woman she always goes straight to her hus band, but it is not the big things which worry the wife out of one most it is the little nagging things which seem almost too trivial to mention, and those are the very things a wife should go to her husband about. I certainly can counsel all young women who may be thinking of get ting married to resolve that, granted they get husbands, these husbands will be told all mark the word, "all." Nothing should be kept back concerning domestic affairs which have gone wrong. And, of course, this bit of advice ex tends, to everything. Nothing should be hidden from a husband if peace and happiness are desired. Moreover, two heads are better than one, and any day a husband may be able to show his wife that she was a little silly to be bothered about such a thing and may point the way out of her difficulty in a moment. Yes, it is right that a husband should be told all about domestic trouble. What would a wife say if a husband hid his business troubles from her, and disaster happened as a result maybe? She would declare that he ought to have confided in her. Well, there is no saying how domes tic trouble might turn out in the end, so it is best to be on the safe side. Let the husband be told and he Will not have any reason for grumbling and fretting later on about being kept in the dark when he might have solved the problem, for really men are not the ully aid her if she sees that he is stupid creatures women believe them to willing to lend assistance in the solv- be it is astonishing the grasp some ing of domestic problems which have men have of domestic affairs. .

Camp Wood ward, on the ledge three miles east of Fond du Lac, has just been established ndcr the honor system, authorized the last Legislature. There are ten convicts at the camp now. Ut the ten, two are murderers serving life sentences. None has served less than three years. Some are ex periencing their first bit of freedom in two decades. There is not a weapon in the camp. There is not a guard. There is not a barrier between the convicts, and complete freedom except their honor and the knowledge that if they do se- cape and are recaptured it will mean that their betrayal of trust will send them back to Waupun and take from them for the remainder of their terms the privileges which are theirs whilej they are inmates of Camp Wood ward. Pending the arrival of tents, tem porary quarters have been established in an old barn and house on one of the farms purchased by the State. The first day the convicts were at the camp they converted the lower story of the house into two large rooms, one for a kitchen and the other for a diningroom. Sleeping quarters are maintained in the barn. The men work nine hours each day. if he hit, not even "thank you" if he didn't. Carter only worked when he felt like it, but he managed to make pro gress toward the hidden lake. The water wizard kept on. As his hole went down he became a poor man, for he had never yet used his talent to discover gold or silver: Still he didn't ask any advice from the city: When the well got down some dis tance the wizard found he would need an assistant on top to empty the buckets. There were plenty of men wanting a job, but they didn't have the wizard's faith. They wanted the cash every Saturday night. But at last Carter found a man who believed in him, and the two of them pegged away until the well was down seventy five feet. The night of September 11 the water wizard was hauled out from the black hole. He was covered with mud and hos shoes were wet. "We've hit it," he said quietly to his faithful comrade on top. Next ten days there were ten feet of water in the well, clear as crystal. The wizard had turned the laugh. At the next meeting of the Council he was accorded a vote of thanks and offered the position of Water Commissioner. The only tools Carter used were; shovel, pick and hoe. The dirt was sent aloft in candy buckets on a pulley. Sum total...... $ 56,473.85 Motion was made that the foregoing report be spread upon the minutes. Moxion seconded and carried. It appearing that it was necessary that the clerk be given some assistance, Alderman Dill moved that Mr. W. H. Bain bookkeeper be employed at a salary of $50.00 per month to assist the City Clerk.

Board of Aldermen k Macon, Nov. 3. The most promi nent citizen in Macon just now in John Wesley Carter, Esq., an humble toiler with . pick and spade. Yesterday Carter- was a joke, a crank, a freak with wheel in his head To-day's he' a prophet who's made good. He doesn't need to go round town swelling up and saying "I told you so." They all know it. It's down in the city' archives in black and white. Along about April Carter made a bet with the City of Macon that he could locate a bed of cool and clear water ti in the, city cemetery. They needed water out there for the flower and grass, because that is far beyond the district of reservoir service. Asked how he knew, Carter said he could take the fork of'an aple or peach tree, and when the point went down toward the ground 1 despite his -rigid holding of the switch, there would be waterno earthly doubt "' 'i. -V . :. V, ' Some of the Councilmen laughed. Councilmen Bunton thought there might be something in the proposition. He took the water locater aside and had a Ulk with him. Carter said if he didn't find water he wasn't to get anything not a red. Bunton reported to the Council. The Mayor said h didn't be lieve in ghost or witches or water wiisrds, but he didn't e how the city could lose on that sort of a proposition.
