The heartbroken parents of the young man took the view that some one was the blame for the death of their son and they entered suit, their interests being looked after by Ex-Judge D. L.

A petition has been dgtted by 380 ministers asking him to eorne her. Sunday ia said to have stated that he wests to start driviag the devil from Chicago" in January Just a Word To The Wise Mr. Editor: 1 see in the last issue of your pa per that when the commissioners hold their next monthly meeting in your city that they will be asked to call an election on the stock law question for the section of Craven county located on the south side of Keuse river. Now, I always thought it a good idea to let well enough alone No doubt but what some few would be benefited by the enactment of this law but let us consider the hun dreds that this law would ruin. We have thousands of acres of open range in this county. .Let us think tor a moment what the cost would amount to if we had to fence this land for our stock, which if we failed to fence this land it would be impossible to raise half enough beef and meat to supply this county, and at this time our city friends are having to pay 18 cents per pound for his beef, so you see if we get this law, it will only be a question of time, and very short time' when beef will be out of reach of the laboring classes, because we can't supply the demand from the pastures and there will be only a few that can fence in good size pas tures and the balance will be entire ly out. So give us our free range, as we have always had, and as God intended for his people to have. If Mr. A. or Mr. B. Wants to raise his pure-bred stock to ship away, he can have his pasture and do so just the same, without trying to take our privilege away from us. We cer tainly don't have any objection. For some time the cry for more stock has been heard. The people of the South have at last begun to realize this. We must have more stock to supply the demand and there is only one way to meet this demand, and that's by having more and better range for our stoek. t8o you see we don't need the stock law in this county. Very few farmers of the South have the funds to buy wire for their pastures, and enough pure bred stock to fill those pastures. The average farmer has had very little experience with the growing of pure breds, and fewer still have had any experience with the care and manage ment of a pure-bred herd. Pure breda to do their best must have spe cial care. So you see there are only a few farmers that nave any exper ience along t his line. And this would cause a meat famine in a very short wWle. All we can hear ia tick eradication the same kind of ticks are here bow that were here during our forefath ers lives, and no have never heard that they were seriously affected by the use of impure meats. Anyway they lived longer and were more healthy than we are now. For instance let us take notiee of the thousands of nice tat steers that are shipped every year from the middle west to the packing houaes of Chiea-i go, St. Louis and Other points and these steers come off of the open ranges and command fancy prices. So instead of less range, we need more range, so let us do all we can to do away with that nuisance the stock law.

Ex amination today of the German com merce raider Kronprinz Wilhelm indi cated that she was drawing too much water aft to enter the dry dock. An attempt will be made today to dock the vessel for survey by the United States naval board but before that is done, it may be necessary to allow her to take on more coal to lower her bow. The navy tug Jiooket, with a dozen sailors from the Norfolk navy yard aboard, arrived today to guard the Wilhelm. A detachment of coast artil lerymen from Fort Monroe -mounted guard on the pier to which the ship is moored. Members of the cruiser's crew re ceived today a huge box of "loving gifts" sent by the Girl's German Club "of New York. There were tobacco. candy and nuts, as well as soap and useful articles for every officer and man. According to reports credited to in coming shipmasters, the Allied war ships off the capes are displaying con siderable aotivity, eyidently in fear, not only that .the Wilhelm may at tempt to escape, but that another German raider may attempt to. run their gauntlet into the ha ven of Hamp ton Roads. They are said to be close ly scrutinizing all , incoming ships of foreign build, as well as looking oyer the outgoing steamers. Their searchlights are in, continuous use at night.
