are never satisfied.
The cotton crop, after it leaves
the hands ot tin- producers, has an 1
up and down existence. One tnan
can force it either way. The man
who follows the,plow often fails to 1

That the election ot I Jnited States .

and that a njsv investigation n- stires

Simmons has commenced his de- •
fence for hobnobbing with Loiimer j
down here in Eastern Cajolma. It j
is no ciime to tiy to interest ]
wealthy men in the great lands of

such bad repute at the time that it
was indiscreet to be so intimate
with lum -and yet Simmons voted '
to let Lorimer keep on disgracing j

senate. Unless .strong pressure is ,
brought to bear there is danger
that the bill will yet die in com- |
mittee.
Yet the interests that are sup- |
* plying money to fight reciprocity ,
which interests are working over 
time proclaiming their friendship
for the farmers and asserting thev
oppose reciprocity solely because
they feel for the farmers, have not
as yet raised their voice against the
blockade of the free list bill.
Query: If the interests fight
Ping reciprocity really and in
fact Buch great Iriends of the farm
► era, why are they indifferent over
-«tbe fate of a bill which will untax
nearly everything the farmers use?

Give us More Water
,A good water supply is easy to
get In this community and~,\et a
stranger would probably think that,
the underground streams, were
miles below us —if he should hap
pen to be here when a fire occurs.
There are such a few open wells
that it is a herculean task to get
enough water to mix chemicals for
two small engines. This should
uot be, for water is easily drained
at any spot and the town needs
protection from fire
But for the volunteer aid.render
ed by'active citizens, the fire on
Weduesday could uot have been
controlled. There were a number
of pumps near but they only afford
a scanty supply which must be
taken in buckets For a town of
the size of Williams'ton and with
the tendency 'o have frequent fires,
water should bi plentiful and con
venieut to every portion of, the
town.
This subject has been talked and
talked for years There are three
wells on Main Street but there is
much property situated 011 other
slreets. It would be Well for peo
pie who are making homes for
themselves to have one open well
011 their lots This would be a
good protection in case of fire. It
is not required to have very deep
ones. There are more open wells
in East Williamston than in an ,
other portion of the town, and tin
water is of good quality. The
City Fathers would receive the
commendation of the public if they
will arrange a better supply of
water for protection.

Of Historic Interest
There was unveiled at South
port, Tuesday May J2iid a mar
ble t iblet marking the site of the
first fort built in the province of
North Carolina, The arrange
ments for the unveiling were made
by the North Carolina Society of
Colonial I)tines of America
The fort Was named in honor of
Gov. Gahtiel Johuson, aud was
built under net of the General As
sctublv of 174 ft and was completd
in 17(1.1. The fort was the tefu'ge
ot Gov. Joshiah Martin after his
flight fioni Newbern May .'4th
1775, until lie was compelled by
the patriots to abandon i* on July
iSth, 1775,011 which'* "dav it was
destroyed and Royal Goverimicnt
in Noith Carolina ceased.
The people of the Cape Fear
section made history 111 the fight
for liberty and they keep alive the
memory of the historic events,
Tlie women of Wilmington are
foremost in the work of perpetual

largely in colonial days.
Do Ghosts Haunt Swamps?
No Never. Its foolish to fear a
fancied evil, when theie are real
and deadly perils to guard against
in swamps and mashes, bayous,
and lowlands. These are the mal
aria germs that,cause ague, chills
and lever, weakness, aches in the
bones and muscles ai»d may induce
deadly typhoid. -But Electric Bit

vicious germs from the blood.
