C, FRIDAY, JULY 13, [906 People's Right Demand of A.C.L. Williamston and Other Towns Deserve Better Treatment at Hands _ of This Road. MK. EDITOR The public spirited citizens, who by petitions from the various towns along the -route of the Plymouth branch ot the Coast Line Railroad, attempted to have another mail and passenger train put on between Weldou and Plymouth, have failed. These petitions, of course, demon strated nothing to the official* of the road, • save the existence of a desire for better mail and passenger facilities, by the in habitant of this section—the patrors of this road. It has not been conclusively shown that it would pay, and the citizens do not intend to argue their case be fore a tribunal that is in a position to know ihe facts, but, who, upon those facts have intimated an ad verse opinion—are not inclined to act In this view of the situation common sense would suggest resort to an impartial tribunal. Anothet pa r, -enger train would necessitate an outlay of money by the road, and naturally the officials wish to l»e assured of its success. If, however, by a change of a schedule that is a schedule only in name, the people between Parmclc and Plymouth will lie entitled to receive mail and passengers six or seven hours earlier, then the rail road should make the change. If those who live on the 34 miles of track from Plymouth to Parmele are not entitled to as much con sideration as those who live on the 35 miles from Parmele to Rocky Mount—who have mail and pass enger service ui addition to what we have —they are, at least, en titled to whatever increased effici ency this change of schedule of the locol freight would afford. Upon inquiry I have learned that the freight seldom leaves Parmele before 10:30 a. in. Now, if 10:45 or 11 a. m. is made the schedule time of leaving, connection with the Kiustou train is established, our mail will be brought down on that train and the transfer of mail and passengers from Rocky Mount and points south and west is se cured. Thus passengers could come from Goldsboro and Wilson to Tarboro on the morning "shoo fly" to Parmele 011 the JCjrHton train, and to Williamston, Rober sonville or Plymouth on the local freight instead of waiting six or seven Jiours for the regular pass enger train. Instead of waiting until six or seven o'clock for the Raleigh News and Ol>scrvcr or any other mail from Raleigh or Greens boro which reaches Parmele— inly eight miles* from Robersonville, 17 miles from Williamston and 39 miles from Plymouth -at 10 27 a. ui. Williamston, Plymouth, Rob ersonville and other towns 011 this road would get this mail five or six hours earlier. If the freight traffic is too heavy on this end of the line to |>eniiit this change, then put on another passenger train. The road must not consult Its own profit to the utter exe'usion of the convenience of the people from whom those profits are derived. Williamston and other towns at this end of the line deserve l>etter treatment than this at the hands of the Coast Line, and they are go ing to demand it. F. S.

"Tomorrow Morning I Will be in Torment," Says Suicide After These Words a Rob ersonville Negro Shoots . Himself Through the Head. Qirl Refused Going to Church ■, With Him. At alxvut one o'clock Monday morning in the town of Rolierson ville", when all was quiet and all supposed to lie asleep, there was enacted a tragedy in which Petet Goin colored,*ended his own life by shooting himself through the head. About a year ago Peter came to Robersouville from near Greens boro, where he had liecit living and where he left a wife atul four chil dren, and has been living at Rob ersouville ever since. It is said he lost some property in some man ner at his former name and had been troubled somewhat over it. It is also alleged that he had been paying attention to a girl by the name of Moore at Roliersonville simse living there, she figuring as the tnuin feature causing the sui cide. The report goes that he wanted to accompany the Moore girl to church Sunday night though he was refused that pleasure. About one o'clock Monday morning he passed the girl's home and saw an other man there in the company of the woman that he had l»ecome jealous of. Then and there he made up his mind not to stand it any longer. He went to his home, which is just a few yards away, got his pistol, went back to the girl's home and told them what he had made up his mind to do. He told them good bye, saying, "to morrow morning I will be in tor inent." With these words he left and a tew minutes thereafter a pis tol shot was heard and when the first person arrived on the scene Peter was found dead on the floor with the revolver in his hand. Dr. Nelson was summoned but he could do nothing for the unfortunate man. He had shot himself through the right temple, the bullet pass ing entirely through to the oppo site side. He had arranged his best clothes ready for burial. Peter was about 45 years of age and won the respect of both white and colored people in the vicinity of Rohersonville, as a quiet and peaceable darkey. Jamesville Post-Office Robber Caught Detective Leggett Nabbed He and Another Negro, Wanted in K. City, Wednesday at Jamesville. The man supposed to be the Jamesville post-office roblier has been caught by Chief Detective J. F. I.eggett, of Rocky Mount, and 011 the same day he nabbed this man he caught a negro who he takes to be one wanted in Klizabeth Cty. Detective I.eggett has been shad owing the post-office roblier, or the one supposed to be the roblier, for several days around Jamesville, and Wednesday he says that he had secured enough evidence to arrest him. His name is Tom Gray, col ored. Also Mr. Eegget received a wire from Elizabeth City Wednes day to look out for Junious Roscoc, adored, wanted in that town for a cutting affray which is thought to have resulted in murder. Wednes day evening Mr. Eeggett brought both negroes here from Jamesville, where he caught them, and placed thein in jail, wiring the Fjlizabeth City authorities he had their man, and yesterday took the supposed post-office robber to Washington, N. C., for a preliminary hearing before the United States commis sioner. It will be remembered that last week the Jamesville post-office was robbed of 150 and Mr. Leggett says he is sure of having the man who committed the robbery, as he has sufficient evidence to convict him. Charged With Assault ing Mrs. McKeel It is Said Mr. Simpson Has Taken to the "Tall Timbers"—Row Sat urday Night. As the result of a quarrel, some hot words and threats Saturday night lietween Messrs. W. D. Mc- Keel and G. B Simpson, the lat ter, it is reported, has taken to the "tall timbers." It is said that on Saturday night these two men were down town to gether drinking and they had some words about sttme house rent. They l>oth live in the same house in Newtown, with their respective families, and it is reported that they had a falling out over paying the rent. After they went home alxmt eleven o'clock they renewed the quarrel, and it seems that Mrs. McKeel had something to say in the matter and a shap exchange of words l>etweeu her and Simpson ensued. By this time, it is said, things were getting pretty hot around there —in fact so hot that Simpson, it is alleged, threatened to get his gun and clean out things. It is said that he made it so warm for McKeel and his wife they had to leave home for the night. At any rate, there was no gun in evi dence and no blows were ex changed, but Monday morning Mc- Keel came down town and swore out a warrant charging Simpson with an assault on his wife. The arrest WPS made and Simpson wns taken before Mayor Godwin that evening. He asked that the case be continued until Tuesday even ing, which was done and when the case was called Tuesday evening Simpson was not on hand. It is said that he sold out his grocery busings which he was conducting on Main street Tuesday and left town for parts unknown, , "WHAT IS YOUR POSITION, MR EVERETT?" Writes Mr. Hardlson.

EDITOR: While some one has suggested and some one else endorsed Mr. Kverett as a suitable representative of our county in the next General Assembly, still another hrs re quested that he, Mr. Kverett, make some statement to the people through this paper or other .vise, as to his position relative to the duties devolving upon one per forming a task of so great import ance. It would seem that there are .-ionic much needed reforms to be made In the present laws of our State and I believe there will be a pressing demand upon the next legislature for these reforms. Now, if Mr. Kverett Is content with present laws, then I am not content with Mr. Kverett, but if he is for reform then I am foi Kverett. Now that the "good roads move ment" has the right of way in the county, what a great benefit to cs all if it could be poshed vigorously until all leading roads are com pleted. I believe if main roads were made good that committees would join together and build up neighborhood cart paths and through "cuts" so thev could en joy going to church and not dread that piece of bad to town. I would suggest a change in our system of making public roads as one of much needed reforms. I am as ever, a Bryan Democrat, and glad to see that our good Old State is with me. S. E. HAKDISON.
