Tayloe, Prominent Young Man, Shot to Death in Suburbs. Washington, N. C, March 31 A very sensational, and fatal shooting affair was perpetrated on the out skirts of this city about 9 o'clock to night when Mr. Samuel G. Tayloe,ra member "of one of this city's most prominent families was suddenly ap proached in a resort in the suburbs, by Carl Kelly, a young man of rather desperate character who suddenly and without warning drew a pistol at close range and fired three shots in rapid succession into the body of his victim. One shot passed through his liver, and the other two into his chest, one of them cutting a large artery, from which the blood spouted in a steady stream causing almost instant death Tayloe was immediately rushed to the Washington hospital but died on the way. Kelly succeeded first in making his escape but Sheriff Ricks swore in a large posse of men who with blood hounds scoured the sub urbs in automobiles, on horseback and on foot in search of the murder er, who was Intel' captured tonight. The causes of the murder cannot be ascertained at present, but it is thought a woman was at the bottom of it. Kelly is a young man of about 20 years of ago and of rather desper ate character, having served a term on the county chain gang. A few months ago he figured several times in the courts for petty criminal of fenses. Excitement is intense and numbers of citizens joined in the man hunt. Kelly was captured a few minutes after 10 o'clock. He phoned Sheriff Ricks that he was hiding under a res idence on East Second Street, Dep uties and a posse were sent down im mediately and arrested him. He was lodged in the city jail. Excitement is subsiding but the sheriff stated that he did not anticipate any trou ble but would place a strong guard around the jail tonight in case of an emergency. Back To Boyhood. You'd like to be a boy again, with out a woe or care, with freckles scat tered on your face and hayseed in your hair; you'd like to rise at 4 o' clock and do a hundred chores, and saw the wood and feed the hogs and lock the stable doors; and herd the hens and watch the bees and take the mules to drink, and teach the turkeys how t6 swim so that they wouldn't sink; and milk about a hun dred cows and bring in wood to burn, and stand out in the sun all day and churn and churn and churn, and wear your brother's cast-off clothes and walk four miles to school, and get a licking every day for breaking some old rule, and then get home a gain at night and do the chores once more, and milk the' cows and feed the hogs and curry mules galore; and then crawl wearily upstairs to your little bed and hear dad say: "That A-orthless boy ! . He isn't worth his bread!" You'd like to be a boy a ?ain; he has such lots cf fun; his life is just a round of mirth from rise to set of sun; you guess there's nothing pleasanter than closing stable doors and herding hens and chasing bees and doing evening chores.

THE GIRL A TRADE. Time May Come When She Must Sup port Herself. Whenever I read articles written by business women wherein the writ er certifies her intention to keep her daughter out of work by which the mother has supported the family, I think of a melancholy example of the folly of such practice which once came to my notice. A woman, left a widow with two small children, nobly set to work, and by increasing affort succeeded in educating them and keeping them in what she called "their proper social circle." The daughter was sent to a select private school, and after her school days were over, returned home to pass her days in "elegant leisure" until the time came when she fulfilled her own and her mother's dearest ambition by marrying a man of "excellent so cial position." The mother was quite as delighted as the daughter over the match until Fate, who has a scurvy way of turning joy to sorrow, played one of her tricks upon the daughter. The man proved oft acquaintance to be decidedly short on morals, a fact which his long pedigree scarcely serv ed to balance. After a few years of married unhappiness, the young wife found herself obliged to earn her living in the same manner in which her mother before her had done, on ly for a much less salary. The Bookkeeper. Gas of Halley's Lomet. Professor Edwin Booth, of the University of California, rises in his pew to chant a solemn warning. On May 18th, says he, the world will pass through the bushy tail of Hal ley's comet and in that tail are many cubic miles of cyanogen, a treacher ous and sinister gas. If, perchance, it combines with the free hydrogen of the atmosphere, the product will be hydrocyanic or prussic acid, the most deadly poison known to science. Professor Booth seems to be seri ously alarmed about it, but we fail to quake as he chatters. We are firmly convinced, indeed, that a few whiffs of the comet's gas will do no harm. The world has inhaled far more potent and distressing things without damage. It has passed through the firey tail of populism, it has withstood prosperity, it has sur vived psychotherapy. John Weslev Gains, in his palmy days, was worse than cyanogen, and yet the republic did not perish. "Annie Rooney" was worse; the "How old is Ann" puzzle was worse. As between cyanogen and the sul phur and molasses all of us used to swallow in the spring, give us cyan ogen ! It has vast advantages, as a drug or a victual, over Pittsburg fried salmon, snuff, embalmed beef or cold storage eggs. It is more humane than the protective tariff, less distressing than Cuba's wrongs, more stimulating than theosophly. A race which pays money to see "Camille" will not complain of cyan ogen. .Baltimore, above all, has no reason to fear it. A community which can survive the oppressive monopoly of consolidated gas and the insidious influence of natural gas promoters is immune from the feeble and untrained attacks of an unso phisticated comet. Baltimore Sun. Send Them to the Roads. If all the judges, says a lawyer, would announce that from this date henceforth, men who are convicted of carrying concealed veapons must go to the chain-gang, there would be a noticeable falling off in pistol toting and a marked decrease in shooting scrapes and murders. There is no doubt about it. As long as men know that they can get off with a comparatively light fine, they do not greatly fear appearing in court on a charge of carrying a gun. And it seems to us that the judges owe it to society to stop fining such offenders and to send them instead to the roads, the proper place for every man who carries a gun. He does go there if his skin is black; but white men usually get off upon payment of a fine, and often on pay ment of the bare costs. Lexington Dispatch. Minority Leader Champ Clark was asked to say something about his Presidential boom. "My position is something like that of former Speak er Tom Reed," said Mr. Clark. "Reed once had a boomlet, and some one asked him for an expression on the subject. 'My position,' said Reed, 'is that they might go further and fare worse, and I think they will.' " Valdosta Times. 0U3 POOR LITTLE. EARTH. A Mere Speck Compared With Some of the Monster Suns. The main facts of a3tronomy are highly interesting. It is only dry text books that have made us turn away from them. Read a good popular as tronomy and you will gain a dim, re mote idea of infinity and eternity. Sometime you think . you see a big star, but you do not. You merely see the light from it which has been 2,500 years in reaching us. Almost everybody knows that our ?arth is a third rate planet in our so lar system. Jupitor would- scarcely condescend to notice us. But they do not know that our sun itself sits below the salt. It would not be ad mitted to a congregation of impor tant heavenly bodies. Canopus, the largest star that we see, is 10,000 times the size of our sun, and our so lar center is hopelessly outclassed by Aldebaran, Rigel, Sirius, Betelguese and countless others. Mark Twain put this fact very well in one of his stories, "Captain Storm field's Visit to Heaven." When the captain arrived and announced that he was from the earth the recording angels could not remember ever hav ing heard of such a place before. One finally recalled that it was a poor little planet belonging to a poor little solar system away down in a dark corner of the heavens. New York World. Don't Let Grass Get A Start. The big fact which so many farm ers overloOk when they first try the weeder is that it is not intended to cultivate the grass and weeds, but to kill them before they come up. If you let the weeds and grass get root ed, you may have to resort to expen sive hand-hoeing after all. The weed er and harrow should always be used before you think you need them, the object being to kill the weeds and grass while they are sprouting. If you let them take root it is like giv ing your enemy a big stick to hit you over the head with. The only safe way is to work the grass before it gets big enough for you to see it. Progressive Farmer and Gazette. Judge E. B. Jones, of Winston Salem, has tendered Governor Kitch in has resignation, and it is intimat ed - that he will enter the race for Congress from the Fifth District. FOR CATAARH Medicine Free In Every Case Where It Fails to Relieve. Neglect or pessimism, we believe, is the greatest enemy the public has to contend with when applied to the loss or recovery of health. Practi cally every case of consumption might have been cured if hope had been maintained and proper treatment had been resorted to at the first symp ton of the disease. Until the advanc ed stage is reached consumption is curable. Cataarh is responsible, we believe, for many cases of consump tion. It is about cataarh we want to talk to you today, incidentally con sumption, since the two are so close ly allied. We have a medicine made from a prescription of one of the most suc cessful cataarh specialists known. We believe it is positively without an equal. We are so satisfied that we are right, that we will supply the medicine free in every instance wbre it is used according to directions for a reasonable length of time, should it fail to give satisfaction in every particular. We want every one to try this medicine at our risk. There are no conditions attached to our of fer. We put the user under no obli gation to us whatever. The medicine we want you to try is Revall Mucu-Tone. It is a cataarh remedy that goes direct to the seat of trouble. It is carried by the blood to every part of the system. It pu rifies and enriches the blood, tones up the mucous cells, and brings about a condition of health and strength that tends to prevent the germs of consumption from getting a start Besides this, Rexall Mucu-Tone is a wonderful appetizer, digestive aid and flesh builder. Its good effects are often felt from the very first dose. It is one 'of the largest and most satisfactory selling medicines that we have ever had anything to An with. We know so much of the great good that it has done that we person ally back it up with our reputation and money, which fact should be am ple guarantee to satisfy anybody. Rexall Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes, 50 cents and $1;00. We urge you to try it. Remember you can obtain Rexall Remedies iff Scotland Neck only at our store, The Rexall Store. The E. T.

So if all the ould dreams that escap ed me Were sung to the chune3 that got free, I'd'be weavin' ye rainbows iv rap ture And shamin' the thrush, ma-chree! But och, 'tis the birds that are ailin Bide close by our coaxin' and sing; 'Tis the music worth housin' and keepiri' Foriver makes off oh the' wing ! Arthur Stringer, in the April Everybody's Get Ready To Plant Corn. Now, the farmer who was wise enough to get crimson clover on his land to be planted in corn can afford to wait till it is fairly mature before turning it down. In all parts cf the south we have plenty of time to make i. crop of corn after the clover has done all that it can for us and with the exception of the lower south, March corn planting is seldom the best. The best crop of corn I notic ed last year was made after the clo ver was entirely dead. If you are so unfortunate as not to have the clover on the land you propose to plant in corn, the sooner you get the land deeply plowed the better. Spring is not the time for sub-soiling, even on land where sub soiling is needed, for the surface may be in good condition for plow ing while the sub-soil will be in such a condition that the sub-soiler will merely plaster it. Good deep breaking and thorough chopping up with a cutaway is need ed before planting, for ycu are going to work the crop shallow from the start. Some advise deep cultivation in the early stage of the corn crop. I have tried it, and as compared with shallow work from the start, I do not like it. Progressive Farmer. How the Cheapest Cotton is Grown. The cheapest cotton grown today is on something like this plan: After ; the land is properly broken, bed up ' with a reversible disk, two-horse ' laying off and finishing one row at each time through. With the one-seed-at-a-time cotton planter and fer tilizer distributer put about 125 pounds high-grade fertilizer in with the seed, planting the seed and dis tributing fertilizer all at one trip. When seed begin to sprout go over with weeder, breaking crust and kill ing all grass and weeds on two or three rows at one trip. Repeat this weeding every six or eight days in the opposite dnection until cotton has four to six leaves, then thin to a stand and use a side dressing of high grade fertilizer, attached or combin ed with a cultivator, applying side dressing with a fertilizer and culti vating at least one row at a trip with a team and one hand. I prefer to alternate the cotton scrapers or sweeps with the shallow cultivator plows. Just when plants begin to fruit, 100 pounds of nitrates sown broadcast before the cultivators will tell in color of plants in twenty-four hours if there is a good supply of moisture. It pays to keep the rows clean and crust broken until bolls be gin to open, at which time crimson clover seed should be - sown just in front of the last plowing. J. C. Stri ding in Raleigh (N. C.)

"To get ahead of the repairmen," he answers. "I can get parts from one of them to repair the other." Chicago Post. The Sound SIsep of Good Health. The restorative power of sound sleep cannot be over estimated and any ailment that prevents it is a menace to health. J. L. Southers, Eau Claire. Wis., says: "For a long time I had been unable to sleep soundly nights, because of pains across my back and soreness of my kidneys. My appetite was very poor and my general condition was much run down. I have been taking Fo ley's Kidney Pills but a short time and now sleep as sound as a rock. I eat and enjoy my meals, and my general condition is greatly improv ed. I can honestly recommend Fo ley's Kidney Pills, as I know they have cured me."
