18 Etiire cf S. 5. Richards Entered by
Rogers. Oilier Nos.
Halifax, N. C.. May 1. A most
enjoyable concert was given here on
Saturday night at the court house
by the sinking class of the Oxford
Orphanage. The program was car
ried out in all its details and receiv
ed hearty applause from all those
fortunate enough to be able to at
tend. There were thirteen children
in the class, and each child showed
conducively that the training has
been thorough. It has been quite a
while since we have looked into
briphter, happier faces, reflecting,
as they do, a great deal of intelli
gence, in fact much above the aver
age. The Orphanage at Oxford has
done most excellent work in the
past, is doing a grand work, and
destined in the future to do even a
greater and grander work. The
Masonic fraternity of the State have
a right to feel proud of this institu
tion. Rather a unique robbery occurred
here a few days ago, the store of
Mr. S. A. Richards being entered
through the transom above the back
di.or. The depredator evidently
wanted little though, as he pillaged
around looking for money and not
hoir.g r.bie to find it compromised by
sp iling a sack of meal out on the
(loor and filling same up with near
becr, soda water, and pop. He then
-tuck a few plugs of tobacco in his
pocket, a few cigars and some other
trifes, amounting to only a few dol
lars in all. A dol'ar was found next
morning on the floor, but whether
;he robber left same to p- for the
Lhi.ogs he got no one really knows
This h questionable though, as the
amount voukl barely pay for the
cost. It i.j pr? um?il that the ftllow
did not
?oodo a
know the exact cost of the
d gu
ssecl at it.
onher;c that ham occurred
rather peculiar, the robbers only
taking small amounts at each time.
Some time ago when the store of
Goo. A. II ux fi Company vf 3 enter
ed by brt-al.iii.sr the heavy plate glass
'n fro. it, the of
?or,w 'rv to, cuism did even so much as nail down c
mall lamp which was in the win-1
dow ai-i
set it down on the street.
On tins occasion, though, there was
a trust j' dog inside the store, and
kicked up such a racket that the fel
low gave-? up in disgust.
The farmers in this section have
for the !at-t far days been putting
in good time getting seed in tht
ground, a great deal of corn having
r,tcn planted, and right much cot
ton. There will be many peanuts
planted t round here this season as
usual. Halifax county raises the
largest part cf the Spanish peanuts
in the State, and to some extent has
an influence on the price of this
commodity.
Mr. W. B. Drcwry ckosed out a
krge quantity of peanuts last week,
getting the price of $1.20 per bushel
for the lot. Messrs. Gregory and
Stednian also closed out a large lot
that they have been holding in their
large storage warehouse for some
thre.
A rice gentle ram winch' was net d-
d f. 11 here on Saturday night and

firm era a gr at deal.

A TIIELY SERifiGH.
Wliere Tiie Citizen FsHs ia DiscSsryisd
- His Duty.
The Lexington Dispatch takes oc
casion to preach a little sermon on
co-operation to the people of David
son county which naiyht be read,
learned, marked and inwardly di
gested with profit by the people ox
many another county. The text
taken by our con temporary is based
upon a little incident that recently
fell under its observation. "There
was a bridge to be repaired in Lex
ington township a few weeks ago.
Therewas just a little break in it
one that a man could fix at the cost
cf a few minutes' time, a few dozen
nails and a piece of plank three feet
long. Did some patriotic citizen
volunteer to fix-that little break?
Not quite. It was left for many
days, a menace to the safety of every
team that crossed the bridge. Half
a dozen men came to Lexington to
tell the township road trustees that
there was a break in the bri Jge. One
man lost two days trying to get the
hard-pressed read trustees to repair
that little break. As soon as the
trustees could spare a man they sent
him out to do the work."
Several other illustrations are cited
to drive the point home, but the one
quoted will show the direction oi
these remarks. Most of us, if frank,
must plead guilty to the charges of
neglect of the public welfare thur
brought. Precious few citizens now
adays are inclined to putthemselvec
to the trouble of naiiing down a
three-foot plank unless they can see
a financial reward, and the man who
lest two days in trying to get some
body else to do what he himself
co-a;d have done in a quarter of an
hour, simply did what the average
man would have . done under the
circumstances.
The trouble dees not lie in inher
ent laziness. We have no doubi
that the men who wasted time h
nesterir' 'h? tiustees are cap-
a bfe and emcjent farmers, ic comes
rather from a mistaken idea that the
public officials always endeavor to
bostpene their business as long at
posible and that if private patriot-

a Trip info Ecfsl China.
When I was out in Wisconsin last
spring I commented on the back
wardness of our common one-horse
plowing methods in the south as
seen in the light of western meth
ods, and I also wrote something on
the same subject from Nebraska
when I started on this trip around
the world. I murst say, however,
that while the west being ahead of
us was not surprising, it is humilat
ing to find that here in heathen, ig
norance, backward, sleepy old China
in the parts where I. have recently
traveled at least you will not find
among the farmers one-twentieth as
large a proportion of one-horse plows
as you would find in the south. New
I hate to say this, but it is true, and
in that case the bad thing is not my
saying it, but its being so.
I hone that no one will
be able
much longer to say that the "heathen
Chinese" is more alive to the advan
tages cf two-horse plows and good
land-breaking than the farmers of
our southern states. As I have point
ed out so many times before, so long
as we are content to run our brains
with one-horse power, while farmers
in the north and west and even in
China run theirs with two and
three-horse power, just so long will
southern farming cheat itself out of
half thejwealth its industry should
win for it. In any work where both
hands or two horses" are needed, a
man might as well tie cne hand be
hind him and let his brain direct
only one hand, as hitch one horse
and have his brain direct only one
horse. In either case he cuts his
mind-power in half. Clarence
Poe, in Raleigh Progressive Farmer.

Cow Sla Was Dctocic3.
Halifax, N. C, April 28. Detect
ives of Portsmouth and Emporia,
Va., this morning brought down
from Weldon a young, robust negro
calling himself John Smith, who is
alleged to have broken in the store
night before last of Geo. A. Hux &
Co., of this place, taking goods, con
sisting of watches, jewelry, clothing
shoes, etc. An entrance was gained
through the transom above a side
dcor. After the robbery ' many
seemed to think there must have
been a small boy in the game.
The negro was arrested in the de
pot waiting room at Weldon, and
had a suit case. Detectiye Field
asked him what he had in the case.
He replied: "Nothing boss, but
some old clothes." When asked to
open up, he simply made a break
for the door, and there Detective
Hodges nabbed him. About ail the
stolen property was recovered
amounting to about $80. The fel
low had little time to dispose of the
goods.
The negro is now in Haliftx jail
to await the next term of court.
Detective Hodges who is in the
employ of the S. A. L. R. R. Co., ar
rested in Norfolk a negro by the
name of Percy Jackson, who broke
jail here some weeks ago. Jackson
was sentenced at the last term of
court to the roads, but escaped be
fore getting there. This negro has
a bad reputation behind him, being
notorious gambler, and having been
in trouble quite a number of times.

The last legislature did one mighty
good thing. Years age any kind of
a show, fake or otherwise, could
come along, make a dicker with some
so-called charity organization and
give a show without paying any tax
Four years ago the legislature pass
z l Z'l riet e'jtinr this kid of bnsi
ness out, but it was not clear and
the last legislature amended it or
made it plain that in every case
where any one receives the least pay
a license tax must be paid. The
attorney general of the state was
called on and has given an opinion
that puts a quietus on the business.
We talk about fakes, swindles and
humbugs, bnt as a general rule the
concerns that come along and show
for charity are arrant frauds. They
fix it so they never get left, but
quite often the organization gets it
in the neck good and hard. Charity
can eive all the entertainments it
pleases, but no one must be paid for
doing the work. Like college base
ball, it is a case where professions
are barred. P. S. A baseballist is
not a professional as long as he "is
going to school," which is almost
as big a fake as the show business.

Special Correspondence.
Washington, D. C, April 29. One
of the signs showing the trend, of
events is tne change of name of the
Reaublican clubs. The Illinois Re
publican Club has changed its name
to the Illinois Society, and the Ne
braska Republican Club has changed
its name to the Nebraska Society.
Formerly none but Republicans were
eligible to membership, now a gen
eral call is made for the citizens of
these States to become active mem
bers. The election of a Democratic
House and the idea that the Presi
dency and the Senate will both be
captured by the Democrats makes a
difference.
The Democrats have passed a bill
looking into the way the civil service
is carried out in the Departments.
Rank favoritism and n&t merit lias
been the way in which promotions
have been made in a number cf in
stances, and it is to prevent this that
the bill was drawn. . Can it, and will,
merit rule? A recent case is that of
a young lady employed temporal ilj
in the Census Office, who, when her
time expired, went to the pppomt
ment (rating) clerk to get her rating
and found it was "good", when the
immediate chief of her division had
told her he had rated her "excel
lent' '. Her rat ing had been charged .
Enough said!
The proposed investigation into
the Departments by the Democrat!:
is going to yield results that wdi be
surprising. The abuses that c eej
into departmental adrmoteti alioi
when cne party 1ie3 bren in p-r.ver
for a long time are many and vj; ied.
Let us hope that the "new broom
wi!l sweep clean" and correct these
abuses.
Government by commission, which
our Republican friends seem proud
of and which has grown to alarminp
proportions, will scon cease to exist
;f yc niqi-g of the Domncr" Ls pre

these "favorite commissioners" and
the commissions will die because of
lack of funds. It will be a bedy
blow to those who have been suck
ing the money teat, and wiil inci
dentally save large sums of monej
which have formerly been draws
from the Federal treasury. Ther-.
are over thirty commissions of vari
ous kinds, small and great.
Postmaster General Hitchcock hc-s-as
put the postoffice department 01
a business basis and the large anntud
deficit has almost disappeared.
Great saving of money has bec-i
made; -wastefulness and extrava
gance discontinued. This shows
that all the departments need ever-
hauling, and the Democratic pro
gram calls for economy, ihey ar:
on the right track. Do away with
the sinecures. Save at the "bun?.-
iioles" as well as the "spigots".
Check wastefulness all along the line
is the Democratic watchword.
The recent arrest and spirhin;
away to California from Indianapolis
of the labor leaders by detectives
has created a furore in labor circles.
Warrants have been issued and the
detective abductors arrested and put
under heavy bend. Labcr leaders
are aroused and declare the alleged
charges of dynamiting against the
leaders in Indianapolis a "sham"
and not inspired by justice, but by
implacable enemies of labor, who
will stoop at anything to hurt la
bor's cause with the people.

Extensive Order for New Equipment.
The Atlantic Coast Line is showing;
its faith as to future conditions in
that it has placed the following ex
tensive order for additional equip
ment: Fifteen Pacific type passen
ger engines, 20 -large freight en
gines, 25 passenger coaches, 4 com
bination mail and express cars, 1,400
box cars, 50 phosphate cars, 50 bal
t cars, 20 caboose cars.
This equipment will be delivered
during the summer, and will place
the Coast Line in position to meet
the demands of the traveling and
shipping public.
This large orderjof freight equip
ment, taken in connection with the
extensive double tracking and bridge
work going on at various points on
the line, indicates that the Atlantic
Coast Line proposes to keep in the
