SHERIFF CATCHES
A CHECK-FLASHER
J. F. Killinsworth was arrested last
Friday at Jamesville on the charge
of forgery in Madison, Georgia. He
hadpresented drafts on New York,
supposed to haw been isued by a
bank in Salisbury N. C., and drew
.f«SO.tH) on them. 'l'his occurred oh
the 12th of November, lie immed,
iately left ami on the same afternoon
information was received from the
New York Bank that tlk* drafts were
not good and that no such';hank exist
ed in Salisbury.
Detective 11. 1.. Taliaferro, repre
senting the American Bankers Asso
ciation was put on the trail Monday.
He found that Kllingsworth had gone
to Hamlet and from there branched
offhand gone to Dunn, from there t
Goldsboro- ami New Item and thonae
to Rocky Mount where he had pur
chased a ticket to I'armele and there
tin; trail ended. Hut later Detective
Taliferro received information that
the same party as was descrilied had
continued to Jamesville by paving
cash faio on the train. When la'
found out these facts from the rail
once wired*the Bank of Jamesville fo:
information as to his whereabouts.
At.the time the message was'rovfiv
ed Killinsworth was in the bank get
ting several travelers checks cashed.
The hank cashier Jackson, called
sheriff Roherson to the scene and h
was arrested and carried, to jail. Tin
fact tjiat Killinsworth carried a vio
lin with him made it easy to follow
him and enabled the detective to catch
him with very little difficulty.
He had about $75.00 in currencj
when captuieil and no checks could be
found at first but a strict search re
vealed $160.00 in express money or
ders in the hem of his underclothes.

COMMISSIONERS
Road Commissioner Hart of Tarboro
came down last Friday to explain an
error in an article recently published
from Bethel to the new bridge would
in the state papers,th at the highway
a "graded road" when the article
should have read "graded road which
wuodl later be made a liard-sujtface
road." lie was very clear in his ex
planation and those who were alarm
ed at the statement published wort
entirely satisfied.
Mi'. Hart as State RIIIKI Commis
sioner made offers that it would seem
wi-Jr- to accept. It is pretty clear thai I
the State nor the National Govern
nients are neither one. going to build
anything except the through road
and the counties must build tlu> other*
Now is the time to tro forward. Tin
cqmmunTty ttTat hiritrh; go>4 roads wilt
hikve nothing to for thr*y an
always worth the cost, and more.

THE PASSING OF ODIN
RY J. K. HENDERSON'
Tho war-shouting spirit oi Odin i* passing,
The glory of fighting for conquest is gone
Anil greatness no longer is seen in the massing
Of armies and navies anil war-chanting song:
"Great fleets on the waves!" 't follows "free men" are
slaves,
And jingoes and grafters where good men belong.
The world is Impatient for peace-loving people
To frustrate the building of forces for war;
Preparedness move's. That our manhood Is feeble,
And friendship and faith hardly worth waiting for.
Put friendship has faith in what the Lord saith,
And conquers in salving the enemy's sore.
And friendship and faith, with a God-given manhood,
Would make more secure our national fame,
Than all our wealth-wasting physical force could,
And ward off invasion, and shield us from shame.;
Would ward off invasion without preparation
To enter the savage-horn, barbarous game.
Ihe conquest that works "Not by might nor by power,"
Hut by the spirit of [>eace and good will,
(lives glory to Christ, and condemns the crude hour
When Odin was ablo to quicken the quill:
When Odin was able in truth or in fable
To tire men with purpose to pillage ami kill
Those countries hereafter that arm like a cowatd, - '
Refusing to climb to the cleft in tlm- rock,
Must wreck with the nations where bombshells art;
slioweivd.
And bark like a dog with a chain and a block:
And bark with a raving and swagger, while slaving
A weight to the neck with a chain anil a lock
All peace-loving peoples must join in a love-league
lo Hold up the standard of peace and fair-play,
And boycott the country that eaten to intrigue.
I ntil she shall learn the "Mole excellent way;"
t ntil she-discovers that (,lod is above her,
And scorning His favor is courting decay.
Wliv must men be marched out to light for _thu iioauv
And riot rather wiest from the war-dogs a corner
Where crime can he kept out and peace may abide?
Where crime can be throttled and battleships bottled,
And bullies be handcuffed, whatever betide?
The light of tho jingoes to ravage the water,
And ruin our commerce and kill our kin,
Can never be granted; but carnage and slaughter
In war is but sorry revenge for the sin;
llut hard compensation to dare a daft nation,
i And sacrifice thousands more-—losing to win.
The better of vengeance is waving a farewell,
And crowning the cruel with live coals of love;
- A serpent in wisdom to leaiv the raised cjidgel;
No fangs though for any—in spirit a dove.
No venom-tipped missies are mustered, nor whistles
1 he death-shrieking shell by the leguers of love,
Yes crowning the cruel with live coals of kindness
Is keeping good counsel—the owed of the King;
llut braving the war-path betoken* nf blindness,
And, tliat thou condemnest, thou dost the same thing:
All that- thou condemnest, the gas-mixing chemist,
And all that is cruel the war-path will bring.

30OTH ANNIVERSARY
OF THANKSGIVING
For three hundred years the Amn
ican people have observed a day of
thanks each year. This custom was
bom in the hearts of Christian peo
ple who felt tl.c ncsd to Jay aside all
work and caro for one lay and earnest
ly s.nd humbly thank God for the bits
si.igs of life
We should remember that our fore
t'avhers th»ak»i God for blefainge al
'huiiy bestowed and that is vhet v«
shi uld do Instead of praying for more
of th* blessings of life. We hear peo
ple too often oraying- for more an 4
>et not givin gthanks for ,iait bles
sings.
At this particular season we should
pcihape be praying more for vision
to live mora osberly and sensibly this
\ear than we have for auiiy yeare
pari. We have been prone in the
few years to forget Uiat the
blessinjfs \rv have received have not
!, « n tnfts of Cod but the fruits of our
\vn efforts and that we sheuld not
give the glory to any Infinite powik
Hut in the last year we have been
taught more of a lesson and lived
closer to each other ani to God than
for some time past. Overflowing
l>arn_s and rich store house.-i are more
apt to do us harm thun to do us good
unless we accept them in the right
spirit. This Thanksgiving day let as
..bow—mito Cod our thttjik* by help-
