The unfortunate boy was trying to walk the log with two large baskets and a strong wind was blowing at the time, so it is sup posed that cither the wind caused bim to lose his balance or that he struck some nearby trees with his basket, causing him to fall into the deep water below. He was seen by his smaller brother when he fell and the alarm was given at once. The body was found Fri day on Mr. Henry Baker's fish trap, a short distance below the scene of the accident.

Investigation proved that no one was in the brightly lighted store, for the officer called to his brother, Mr. Preston McQuage, on for special dutv. and the two searched the store for burglars. Mr. John Watkins. who works in the store, was hastily summoned and found that the biz safe was securely locked, the day lock hav ing been changed to the full com biuation. Thinking that Mr. Gatewood had left it so and find ing no goods missing, he locked the front door and went again to his room. . Friday morning when Mr. Gatewood, the only person familiar with the combination came up town, Mr. Wat kins had already opened the store and in formed his employer that the night lock was on the rafe. Mr. Gate wood explained that he had left the day lock on and, on opening the safe, found that the money drawers had been prized open There was several hundred dollars in the safe, and while the burglar handled most of it in moving some cigar boxes and envelopes in order to get a few mckles and dimes, he locked the safe, having removed only about $5 in small change. In one envelope, placed in another part of the safe by the burglar, a cool $100 was left. In a cigar box was left some gold and silver coin. A skeleton key must have unlock ed the front door.

Enraged at his 16-year-old daughter, - Net lie, because of a harmless schoo girl prank, Dr. C. O. Swinney, who recently came here from New York, fared two shots at her, fa tally wounding her, and .then turning the revolver on himself placed the muzzle in his mouth and pulled the trigger, dying al most instantly. ihe tragedy occurred jn the re ception ro m of -. the Normal and Collgia.e Institute, a Ilarge girl's boarding school in this city, where Miss Swinney had been pupil for the past session. Just what occurred prior to the shoot a .a ing is not Known, as there were no witnesses, and the girl, while still conscious, could give but vague account. Dr. "Swinney, who up to a few years ago had been a prominent physician in New York city, has for some time past been in poor health, and Of late, it is alleged, his mind has been unbalanced. -v- .a i i itecentiy his daughter was one of the school girls who. as an April fool joke, absented them selves from school, and the father brooded over the little escapade unhl it assumed to him the pro portions of actual wrong-doing. When Dr. Swinney called on his daughter at the school this after noon about 3 oclock, he was shown into the reception room. and a few minuters later his daughter came down and went into the room, closing the door behind her She sat down at the piano, her father siting beside her. Half an hour later girls and teach- a . i a m ers were startled by tour shots ringing out, and a second after wards Miss Swinney, with blood streaming from the wounds in her head, came rushing from the room. Miss Swinney was desperately wounded and there is little chance for her recovery. The room in which the tragedy occurred showed signs of a hard struggle. Chairs were overturned and the piano stool, with one leg broken, was lying in the middle of the room. The father was lying on the floor at one side of the room, face downward with the revolver, with four chambers empty under him. The .attempted murder and sui cide were evidently -deliberately planned, as before going to the school Dr. Swinney bought a re volver and two rounds of cartrid ges at a pawn shop.

Poe, Editor Prgressive Farmer, of Raleigh. ) To The Editor: I am preparing rather carefully a full and dispas sionate review of the objections made to State prohibition in North Carolina, but there is one matter about which I can no longer keep silent, and which may be as well that I must omit from my review as I am less inclined to treat dispassionately. I refer to the statement which liquor leaders have made over and over again, in substance if not in words: 4tThe strength of the liquor in terests is in the country. We ad mit that you prohibitionist wil carry the towns, but we are going to sweep the rural districts. We used to have the negro to stand by whiskey and save it in every election, but while we haven't got the negro any longer, we have got the farmer and we are banking on him to take the negro's place." This is the claim, farmers of North Carolina, that the liquor men have made from the begin ning of this campaign. What do you think of it? What of this studied and oft-repeated insult- that the farmers, that the intelli gent country beople of North Car olina, belong body and soul to the whiskey sellers, and may be count ed upon to step into the poor ig norant, venal negro's shoes as the great refuge and stand-by of the liquor interests? For this reason, if for no other, the farmers of the State should redouble, and then redouble again their efforts in behalf of prohibi tion. Let the country vote be so decided, so overwhelming, that never again will friends and hire lings of the saloon dare insult the sturdy farmers of the Old North State by such a reflection upon their manhood and their honor. It was the farmers of North Carolina who won immortal renown at Mecklenburg Court House. It was the farmers of North Carolina who gave to Alamance and Moore's Creek and King's Mountain their undying fame. It was the farm ers of North Carolina largely in he Civil War who won for North Carolina the glory of being "first at Bethel and last at Appomattox." To say thatthe son of such sires have now degenerated into the willing slaves of saloon-keepers and whiskey interests, and that they may be counted on to take he negro's place as the tool and the cat's paw of these men this is a slander, which as their spokes- V m man, I can not too bitterly deny nor appeal to them too strongly to hurl back at its originators. A world-wide movement is now on against intemperance and its powers of darkness. On the other side of the earth the Celestial Em pire ; of China is making a deter mined, heroic effort to shake off) 1 It M . 1 ne galling cnains or tne opium habit, one of the worst forms of intemperance. In far-away Eng land the growth of temperance sen timent is only less pronounced than here. In our own land, North, South, East and West are agitated as never before. ' But North Carolina, remember, is the first state in the' present temperance revival to vote by bal lot on prohibition. In all the other states the question has been decided by legislative act, and now the whiskey interests are claiming that North Carolina's vote will show that the people, that the country people, are not behind this movement of their leaders. North Carolina, there fore, is the touch-stone. Its voice is eagerly awaited in all parts of America, the reverberation may even reach to Europe and Cathay, and if our rural population will but exert itself to the utmost, it may be said of North Carolina in 1908 as it was of Massachusetts in 1775, that Here once the embattled farmers stood And fired the shot heard round the world." Seen in its large significance, therefore, the May 26th election affords not only the occasion for a crushing rebuke to the most vio lent recent insult to the farmers of this State, but it is also the su preme moral opportunity offered them in this .generation. That they will prove themselves worthy jsons of their sires when the test comes. I have no doubt Tne Joapin? Off Place.

VVe have no record of Wednesday and on Thursday he sends his disciples to the City to prepare a place where he will, with them, eat the Pass over. LESSON STORY. A contention had started among the disciples. Possibly it started in the seating of the disciples, each seeking the 'chief seats," those nearest Christ. This was parti cularly grevious to Christ for he had tried hard, bv both precept and example, to cultivate in them the spirit of lowliness and self-for- getfulness. It shows how little of his spirit the disciples had and yet he must soon leave his work to them. The quarrel mars this last hour of communion, when he is about to institute the most blessed of commemorative rites. Christ is even at this time in the shadow of the cross which he had so often foretold and the hearts of his dis- ciples should have been especially tender. The method of rebuke is touching and tender. Jesus rising from his place, takes the towel and girding himself, like a ser vant, with the basin of water be- cran to wash the feet of the disci ples and wipe them with the towel. To understand this incident we - -m . a 1 must know something of oriental custom. Only sandals were worn and the roads were dusty and it was customary for the host to pro vide a servant and wash the feet of the guests as they arrive after a journey. Jesus in the spirit of tenderest love, not haughty re buke, loving them to the utter most, takes the place of a servant. A lesson in humility. Jesus knows that Judas, now present is plotting the betrayal, and the tra dition is that he washed the feet of Judas first. Christ knew that "the Father had given all power into his hands;" and "that he had come from God;" and that "he was go ing to Him." Infinite power, di vine origin and divine destiny. Yet his love croes out to the little group of men around him. Peter, impulsive and numme, opjecis dui I It 11 1" A At Christ tells him plainly that self- surrender is the first condition of discipleship." Notice, "Ye are clean, but not all." Judas was the sad exception. . He had no gen uine and habitual loyalty to Christ. Christ then explains his action. It is a lesson in humility. It was an example. "The Son of man came not to be ministered unto but to minister." The law of his kingdom is the law of helpfulness.

Humility must know itself to be humble, must be unconscious "Some one had been reminding a certain bishop of an act of good ness which he had just performed.

ILLUSTRATIVE. The wife of President Haves, when her husband was governor of Ohio, was driving one day when she saw a repulsive drunken woman sitting on the curbstone, a jernng crowd around her. At once she stopped, helped to put the wretched creature in her car riage, and took her to her home. A Glasgow policeman watched a poor woman picking up some- thing, again and again, and put into her apron. tinar her finds Roughly and with suspicion, ho demanded to see what sho was gathering. Trembling, she showed some bits of broken glass; and pointing to the . bare-footed chil- dren playing, she said, "I thought I would take them out. of the way of the bairn's feet." When Alexander the Great marphed through Persia, his way was stopped with ice and snow. The soldiers tired with the hard marching, and discouraged, would have gone no further. Alexander, perceiving the trouble, dismounted from his horse and with a pickaxe made his way through the ice. The Captains and then the com mon soldiers, all ashamed followed. So should all men follow the Christ, he having left them an ex ample they are to follow in his steps. A young city doctor was visited by his father from the country. How are you getting on?" asked the father. Not at all well," was the reply of the discouraged young man; I am not doing anything."
