DAUGHTEF KILLING FATHER. ;Joseph Bryant Pulley Murdered by Hit 12-Year Old Daughter, Marie, Mcnlay Morning, July 12, 1909. The circumstances as w. 11 as can j lit gathered were that his daughter had been accused by a negro and ; white man. near the place where Pul ley lived, of stealing collards, This news aroused to anger, the father, Joseph Pulley. He made investiga tion iu (1. fensi of his daughter's 'name, and had a fight wfth the ne '?ro in the field, where and when the lnt.ro broke Pulley's arm. Pulley told his daughter she was the cause of his arm being broken. Several days after tills fight, his daughter was accused of 8teal:ag a chicken from a white man umed Carlyle, and upon investigating this report, he whipped his daughter for sui h c onduct, and on Sunday before the murder, he threatened to whip her again, and told her she must pack her trunk and leave Monday. Whereupon. the daughter after spending Sunday night, thinking over this threat of her father, and knowing his determination, arose early Monday morning, took an ax, and killed her father while he was asleep. She admits the killing iu this way, yet denies that she was guilty of the report by the negro and Carlyle of stealing, yet she was accused of stealing in Smithfleld. Joseph Bryant Pulley was the son of Joslah Pulley, of Wilder s town ship. He was considered by tho3e who knew him to be a desperate and dangerous man, accustomed to the commission of many crimes, fight ing. blockading, and tried and ac quitted in Cumberland court for the killing of a negro, on account of this daughter, a man who never had the fear of God. His daughter, Ma rie, who killed him, was the daugh ter of his second wife, whom he mar ried in Wilson or Greene county, and after this second wife's death, he has kept the little girl with him. His first wife was a Miss Parrish, and by her he has one or two sons, now living In Wilders township. His last wife was a Miss Abbott, whose father lives in Pender county, N. C. There is sympathy for the little girl, now in jail, pale, igno rant. unhealthy. Never had the ad vantages of primary education, never 'in Sunday school, nor church, cer tainly not during the year and half the family have lived recently In Johnston county.

FOR TOBACCO trucks see Cotter Stevens Co, I WINS WITH THE NEWS. Secret of the Wonderful Succss* of A Great Paper. The Philadelphia Record, now en tering upon the fortieth year of its acquaintanceship with the world, seems to have won its great pres tige by a stubborn refusal lo tie drag ged awav from the siniple.it principle of Journalism. Strange as it may seem in these days of vari-colored emanations from the printing press, the Record has never been able to disabuse Itself of the notion that the main duty of a newspaper is to print the news. From its famous first page, which is patterned after by newspapers throughout the land, to the last line of its last page, the Record is always chock full of news?Just simply news. Not content to carry the service of the Associated Press, which it prints more fully than any other Philadel phia paper, the Record is recognized by correspondents all over Pennsyl vania, New Jersey, Deleware, and Maryland as the best buyer of special news dispatches in the State of Pennsylvania. Without trenching up on the field of small neighborhood newspapers. It carries a fuller ser vice of country-side news than any other Journal in the field. And its country-side news, as well as its dis patches from afar, has the virtue of being reliable. I2:..00 REWARD?I will give a reward of $25 (or any information that will lead to the arrest and con vlciton of the person who entered my store in Benson, N.

A party of three or four negroes are suspect ed to have committed the burglary. One is a tall negro, another a low heavy set one and has a very large nose, the third has very large eyes. One of the party is probably wear ing one of the stolen hats, as an old cap belonging to one of the thieves was found in the store. Allen L. Barefoot, Benson, N.
