THE HERALD Published Every Tuesday and Friday Telephone No. 10 Death Claims A Young Woman. After several months’ illness Miss Lillie Barbour, age 23 years, died at her home in Smithfield, Monday after noon, August 2. She was a daughter of Mr. George W. F. Barbour who died a few months ago and a niece of Mr. James W. Stephenson. She was a fine young woman and well known in this county, having taught school for several years. Only a short time ago she was brought from Southern Pines where she had been in a sana torium. Everything was done to try to restore her to health, but all ef forts failed. The funeral will be conducted by Rev. John E. Lanier, her pastor, at the residence this afternoon at 4:30 o’clock, after which the remains will be placed away in Smithfield cemetery by the sida of her father. So far as the human mind can see, the departure of one so young and useful seems very sad. Bought Girl But Could Not Get Her. Mr. Thomas Perrett, of Faison, N. C., had a peculiar case brought to him a few days ago. A twenty-three-year-old negro man, it seems, sometime ago fell very much in love with a sixteen-year-old girl. They decided to marry, but had to get the consent of the girl’s mother. The old woman told him he could get the girl if he would pay her thirty dol lars. He managed to make this trade and for several months saved his money and paid for the girl on the in stalment plan. After he had paid twenty-six dollars the girl’s mother informed him that it was uselss to go further as she could not give up her daughter. He went to Mr. Perrett to try to force the woman to give up her daughter. He thinks she got his money under false pretence. Protracted Meetings. Rev. Charles E. Stevens will be gin a series of meetings at Sardis Baptist church on Monday night after the second Sunday in August. Rev. W. D. Harrington will begin a meeting at Oliver’s Grove Baptist church the third Sunday in August, in the afternoon at the usual hour for preaching. A meeting will begin at Stewart's school house the fourth Sunday in August, in the afternoon, to be con ducted by Rev. W. D. Harrington. Rev. John E. Lanier has arranged to hold a meeting next week at Burnell church to begin Monday night, August 9th. He will be aid ed in the meeting by Rev. A. R. Caudle who has been helping in some meetings in this county. Johnston County Man Shot. Mr. Thomas Roney Johnson, some times called “Rabbit” Johnson, was shot in Garner, N. C., last Wednes day. We give the story below «s related to us by Mr. Johnson him self. He had started to Raleigh through the country on a buggy buying up chickens and eggs as he went along. He spent Tuesday night in Clayton with Mr. George Brannan, leaving there for Raleigh about three o’clock Wednesday morning. He reached Garner about six o’clock and stopped and sold a man two chickens and in quiied for Mr. George Bailey. A man who happened to be__passing at that time conducted him to the home of Mr. Bailey. He told Mr. Bailey he wanted to wash and comb his hair before going to Raleigh. Water and a towel and comb and brush were furnished to him. Mr. Bailey invit ed him to breakfast. Before eating Mr. Johnson went to his buggy and took some eggs to be fried for them all. He says Mr. Bailey finished eating before he did and part of the eggs were placed in Mr. Bailey’s din ner basket and he hurried off on his bicycle to his 'work. Mr. Johnson finished eating and moved his chair over to a door to rest a few minutes before starting to Raleigh. In about ten minutes Mr. Bailey returned and he saw him go to a bureau drawer and began looking for something. Mr. Johnson’s idea was that he had returned for something which he had forgotten. Instead if this he drew a number 38 revolver on Mr. Johnson. As Mr. Johnson was leaving the door he shot him in the right shoulder, the ball going into one of his lungs. Mr. Johnson was taken to Dr. Buffaloe’s office where the wound was dressed, after which he was brought to his home in Selma in an automobile. On Friday he was taken to Raleigh for treatment, but it was decided that the ball could not be extracted and so he returned to Selma He is doing as well as could be expected.

We had a very pleasant call Monday from Col. A. J. Feild, editor of The State Journal, of Raleigh. Col Feild is making a paper that is worth while. It stands alone among the newspapers of the State and deserves a liberal support. In this journal Col. Feild is endeavoring to mirror the life and activities of North Carolina in such a way that the reader may see what is going on in the State and also see the relation of every movement of pro gress to every other movement. The State Journal fills a unique place in North Carolina newspaperdom and the more liberally it is supported the greater will be its power for good among us.

Speaking for this section of the South it may be put down as a safe estimate that the debt the farmers have carried over for payment this Fall is 25 per cent of the normal lia bility of this kind in the past. This excepts fertilizer accounts. These will amount to 50 per cent less than ordinary. Back of this is to be placed the largest crop the South has rais ed in many years—larger crops of wheat, corn, oats, hay, but not a larger crop of cotton. The deficit in purchases indicates that much more money is held in reserve by the peo ple. Take this in connection with the small average of debts to pay and the strong fortification of big crops, and one will have the situation in this part of the South in a nutshell. This report would do to send to the commercial agencies of the country as a mirror of conditions hereabouts.— Charlotte Observer. Smithfield Market.
