His Office in Richmond

en at His Desk
Luther H. Jenkins, president of L.
H. Jenkins, Inc., in Richmond, Va.,
and for half a century prominent in
business and civic interests there,
died suddenly last Friday at his of
fice in the widely-knowTi book man
ufacturing plant, which bears his
name. He was the father of Mrs. Eu
gene C. Stevens of Southern Pines
and himself maintained a winter res
idence on Weymouth Heights, built
about 12 years ago.
Mr. Jenkins was born February 21,
1856, at Fredericksburg, Va., a son
of the late Captain Joel R. Jenkins.
His father was well known in that
historic section of thfe state as a ship
owner and commander.
In 1862 he moved to Richmond
with his widowed mother, his fath
er’s death having occurred a few
years earlier when the son was only
one year old.
He attended the private schools of
the period there and as a youth en
tered the employ of Randolph & Eng

books.
In 1852 Mr. Jenkins formed a part
nership with E. C. Walthall, the firm
being known as Jenkins and Walthall.
In 1897 Mr. Jenkins bought the in
terest of his partner and continued
in the same line of business alone.
The business which Mr. Jenkins
had established became with the
passing years one of great propor
tions and widely knowTi in this coun
try. At the plant in Richmond books
of artistic merit have long been man
ufactured.
Several years ago Mr. Jenkins gave
to the University of Richmond the
beautiful outdoor Greek theatre,
which is a monument to his aesthetic
appre:iation and to his munificence.
For some years he had passed a
part of each year at his winter home
in Southern Pines.
Mr. Jenkins married May 20, 1897
Miss Rosa Belle King, a daughter of
Captain f^phn E, and Mrs. Susan
Todd King of Richmond.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs.

in Richmond.
Royal Bengal Tiger is Honor
Guest at Kiwanis Club Lunch
PINEHURST
GLEE CLUB TO SING SUNDAY
NIGHT IN PINEHURST CHURCH
Dr. J. Symington Tells Thrilling
Tale of Shooting of Animal
in India
The guest of honor at the meet
ing of the Kiwanis Club of Aberdeen,
held Wednesday noon in the Pine-
hurst Community Church, w’as none
other than a Royal Bengal tiger. He
stretched his length across a couple
of chairs on the platform in the
Sunday School room and showed his
teeth to the members as they ate
■ their lunch and ^proceeded to the
! business of the day.
I After the club’s newest member,
' James Cobum Musser of Southern
Pines, had been introduced by Paul
Dana and officially welcomed as a
Kiwanian, and resolutions of sym
pathy to the family of Bion H. Butler,
former club member and an honor
ary member at the time of his death,
had been passed. President Willard
Dunlop turned the meeting over to
Arthur S. Newcomb, who presented
the speaker, Dr. J. Symington, coun
ty physician, of Carthage. Then it
was the presence of the guest of hon
or was explained.
Dr. Symington told a thrilling tale
of the shooting of the Royal Bengal
a beautiful specimin, in North Ben
gal, India, many years ago. He spent
many years in India, and his praise
memento of those days is the head
and skin of the big fellow. The shoot
ing followed the slaying by the ti
ger of a buffalo. When he returned
home from his duties one night Dr.
Symington’s servant reported the
finding of a buffalo felled in his
tracks by a tiger. Knowing that at
night the tiger would return fo en
joy the mea! he had prepared for
himself, the doctor went to the scene,
secluded himself among the branches
of a tree, and waited until nightfall.
A tiger appeared, but was frighten
ed away by the noise of a herd of
buffalo in the distance. Later the
Wins Scholarship
Farrell Shauer, Moore County
Boy, First in District in
Corn Competition
Four outstanding 4-H corn
club boys, winning first prizes in
their respective districts, have
been awarded free scholarships to
the annual 4-H club short course
to be held at State College this
summer, announces L. R. Harrill,
club leader for the agricultural ex
tension service.
The four scholarships w'ere do
nated by the Chilean Nitrate of
Soda Educational Bureau through
James M. Gray, state manager,
and were awarded by the (ilub
leader to Charles Galloway of
Clay county, representing the
southwestern district; Elmo Brick-
house of Pasquotank county, rep
resenting the northeastern district;
Gregory Sherrill of Wilkes coun
ty, representing the northwestern
district and to Farrell Shauer of
Moore county, representing the *
southeastern district. Shauer pro
duced 44 bushels at a cost of 27
cents a bushel.
handsome Royal Bengal stalked back
to the carcass of his victim and Dr.
Symington took a shot at him. He
leapt and dashed into the jungle.
To wound a tiger and not kill him
is dangerous business in India. The
animal becomes more savage than
ever and attacks everything he
meets. So the doctor and a friend
took their lives in their hands and
followed him into the jungle. The big
fellow’s tracks led them to his re
clining form. He was dead. The ti
ger now graces the living room of
the Symington residence in Carth
age.
