AT LARGE WITH THE INCONSIDE
RATE SHOPPER.
Three days to complete your ward
robe for a feature production when
your role is that of a society belle is,
as you "will understand, a very short
time. Even the costume mistress ad
mitted that I would be wise to pur
chase some grwns and then have
the others made. Mother thought so
tpo, and by powers of persuasion I
was given a day in which to shop.
Early in the morning mother and I
bundled ourselves into our wraps. The
shops had hardly opened their doors
before we wero inside, well started
on our shopping excursion.
Of course I had ' no time to waste .
I had to know what 1 wanted before
I entered the store, 6r I should never
in all this world have accomplished
my task before the day ended. From
counter to counter, department to de
partment, shop to shop, we went. And
as we went, I chanced to notice how
little consideration many of my fellow-shoppers
had for the poor girls
behind the counters.
In the suit department one woman
searched and searched the racks for
something to attract her. Now and
then some parts of her conversation
would reach my fears, and I soon learn
ed that she had already taken two
suits home which had not pleased, and
that she was now looking for another.
Naturally no reliable shop wishes its
customers to go away unsatisfied. How
ever, we are expected to know what
we want. Some of us don't. This
woman had no more ideal of what she
wanted than the man in the moon.
She fussed and fumed and finally took
a credit check for the value of the for
mer purchase and said she would go
elsewhere.
In the milinery shop a woman per
sisted in trying on velvet hats when
she knew she was going to buy a
straw. Then too although her type
should always wear a brimmed hat,
and she knew it she tried on turbans
again and again, robbing the other
shoppers of their time,. ... . ..
When we first buy our own clothes
it is necessary for us to try every
style and color until we know just
what lines are kind to us. "But this
woman was well over thirty, and I'm
sure she ought already to have known
her mind. There are certain things
which do not look well on me. Not
for a moment would I think of wasting
the salesgirl's time while I tried them
on.
And in closing let me say that I
don't think the inconsiderate shopper
is usually as well pleased with her
purchase as the pne who thinks out her
wants at home and knows what she
wants when she enters the store .
SWAMP-ROOT STOPS
SERIOUS BACKACHE
When your .back aches ,and your
bladder and kidneys seem to be disor
dered, remember it is needless to suf
fergo to your nearest drug store and
get a bottle of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. It is a physician's prescription
for diseases of the kidneys and blad
der. ' It has stood the test of years and
has a reputation for quickly and effec
tively giving results in thousands of
cases.
This prescription was used by Dr.
Kilmer in his private practice and was
so very effective that it has been
placed on sale everywhere. Get a bot
tle, 50c and $1.00, at your nearest drug
gist. However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & Go , Binghamton, N.
iY., for a sample bottle. When writing
be sure and mention The Wilmington
Daily Dispatch. Advt.
HERE TREMENDOUS
Exterminating Gampai gn ' to be
Conducted Under The Su
pervision of Health Dept.
As one means of conserving food
stuffs, the price of whieh is very high
at present, and according, to the opinT
ion of. those in close touch, is
going to make a much greater advance,
there is to be inaugurated in Wilming
ton on May 6, a rat exterminating cam
paign under the supervision, of the
Health Department.
Dr. Charles T. Nesbijtt, county health
officer stated this morning that $250,
000 will be a conservative estimate of
the value of the food in, the wholesale
and retail stores and hom.es that will
be damaged and destroyed by rats
this year, provided . means are not
taken to exterminate : them by a co-r
operative fight among the merchants.
In 1915 it was estimated that the loss
of food-stuffs through damage by rats
was $150,000, while in 1916 it was esti
mated to be about half this amount
due entirely to the exterminating cam
paign conducted at that time. Dr. Nes
bitt stated . today that even if there
should be no more food actually dam
aged by rats this year than there was
in 1915 the loss -.will be as much as
$250,000 because of the great advance
in the-cost of provisions, etc.
Mr. W. F. Moore, expert rat exter
minator, who was here two years ag,
will arrive in the city shortly to make
plans for the coming campaign. He
will operate under the supervision of
the Health Department. Mr. Moore
comes from Washington where he
was in the employ of the government
during the winter, exterminating rats.
He also was retained by the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad to exterminate
the . rodents in... the Petersburg termi
nals. GOLDSBORO HIGH
SCHOOL BOYS EXPELLED
(Special to The Dispatch.)
Goldsboro, N. C, May 1. Quite a
sensation was sprung among the stu
dents of the Goldsboro High school
yesterday when it was learned that
several students who compose the
baseball team were expelled from
further attendance.
The team was scheduled to play
the Cary High school at that place
last Saturday and for some reason
unknown, the principal, Mr. A. B.
Carson, who is also coach of the team,
refused to allow the boys to go to
Cary. It being Saturday, the boys
went on their own accord, and when
they returned to school yesterday
morning they were ordered out, it is
said.
There seems to be quite a friction
between the teachers and the stu
dent body of the local High school
this year and over twenty pupils have
been expelled or suspended indefinite
ly since the mid-term opened . last
January.

CORONERS JURY
FAILS TO CHARGE
CRIME TO ANYONE
(Conitnued from Page Five.)
had known what he was doing, and
tfifat he was hot sure that he Com
mitted the crime. He denied emphat
ically his guilt for the offense last
convicted of that of highway rob
bery. He did not deny the Elizabeth
City murder, but he did make It plain
that the crime had never troubled his
conscience since.
Johnston denied that he had ever
owned a shotgun; he even went fur7
ther and swore to the jury that he
had never fired a gun of this kind
when questioned as to which shoulder
he shot from when gunning. Pistols
are the firearms preferred by the sus
pect, according to his own story.'
The rigid cross-examination that he
was subjected to did not cause him
to change any of his previously made
statements. He 'stuck to his story at
all times, declaring that he was at
the stockade on the night of the 11th
when Neal Walon was shot to death
at a lonely spot in the woods, near
Bellevue cemetery. That he knew ab
solutely nothing about it and that he
had never left the stockade at night,
nor in the day time, except when sent
to his work by the guards.
The other two witnesses of the af
ternoon were Mr. George Cameron
and Mr. J. Allen Taylor. They were
examined relative to newspaper arti
cles' bearing on the case in which -l
was hinted that the negro was not
guilty,-and that an effort was being
made to throw the jury off the right
and on to a wrong trail. Mr. Taylor
was Questioned relative to an article
that had been dictated by him,
signed by Mr. J. B. Hewlett and
printed in The Dispatch on last Fri
day afternoon. The article that caused
Mr. Cameron to be brought before
the jury appeared in The Saturday
Record, a labor paper published by
Mr. Cameron. Both men made it plain
that they had a right to their opinion
and tjiat the privilege of expressing
it was theirs. Both told the jiiry
very plainly that they had not made
any effort to hint at corruption on
the part of the jury, coroner or offi-'
cials interested', and both declared
they would willingly divulge any in
formation relative to who the guilty
party is did they possess it.
The statement by Mr. Cameron
that he had heard Major W. N. Har
riss, clerk of Superior Court, say that
if he had been sheriff of the county
that he would have locked Walton's
employers and the Davidson woman
up at the time, and then perhaps some
one would have squealed, and the
guilty party perhaps found, caused
Major Harriss to be sent for, and after
being sworn, told the jury that he
had made no such statement, and
that if he had ever been so foolish
he would have straightway made out
an affidavit to have himself sent to
Raleigh. Major Harriss told the jury
that he did say that if he had been
the officer, in charge that he would
have arrested the man in the ma
chine, meaning Mr, Woodcock.
TROOPS TO THEFRONT
ROOSEVELT INSISTENT
(By Associated Press.)
New York, May 1. Theodore Roose
velt, upon his return here from Chi
cago, yesterday declared he hoped, as
Marshal Joffre had urged, that the
people in this country would realize
the necessity for sending without de
lay an . American fcrce to the French
front.
"To keep all our men here being
trained by regular army, national
