On Wednesday, March 18, a tornado
which seemed to make up in Missouri,
swept. noriheaat across the Miaaiaaippi
iwver, crossing the eastern end of 11-
luioia anu spending itself in Indiana,
but doing some damage in Kentucky
AiiU Trnnnanor
Tne lornaao seemed to bounce, lit
erally wiping up the earth wherever
it struck. Kntire towns and villages
were laid to waste.
Tne iaieat reports coming from the
siorm-swept area placed the dead as
nigh as W»7 persons, with 2,000 in
jured and many rural sections and
small villages not heard from on ac
count of destruction of wires and
blocked highways.
in tne small town of West Frank
fort, ill., 300 persons were reported
killed and tooO injured, which waa the
largest number of casualties reported
irum any place in the path of the
storm. Other small places fared worse
in proportion, however.
More complete reports coming in
Thursday lowered the number of
deaths from the first estimate, and
while the number may be found much
larger after a complete search is
made and all deaths and re
ported, so far there ace (ptfwn to be
dead in Illinois, 668; injured, 1,316;
in Kentucky, 16 dead and 27 injured;
Missouri, 10 dead and 172 injured;
Tennessee, go dead and 60 injured;
Indiana, 88 dead and 400 injured;, a
total of 700 dead and 1,964 injured.
In several towns fires broke ou
and burned many bodies, some of
whom were only injured.
Survivors tell pathetic stores of one
schoolhouae which waa destroyed, filled
with children. Their little bodies were
gathered together in great piles;
many were not Claimed, aa parents,
too, had been killed at home.
Trainloada of nurses and doctors
were hurried from Chicago, St. Louis,
and o«her cities; also food and medi
cines for the care of the injured. The
governor of Illinois called out; the
State troopa to assist in the work of
restoration.  /

The Roanoke Supply Co., with Mr.
W. H. Smith, of Nashville, president,
Mr. C. R. Preddy, of Rocky Mount,
vice president and general manager,
and G. M. Preddy, also of Rocky
Mount, secretary and treasurer, will
begin operation in Williamston in a
very short time, probably a week or
lfli days. It will manufacture and deal
in building material of all kinds,
rotigh and dressed lumber, sash, doors,
blinds, cement plaster ,brick, shingles,
roofing, screen wire and wire fencing,
mantels, stair work, piping and tile
are among the things that it will
manufacture and handle. The J. G.
Staton lumber mill has been leased
and is rapidly being enlarged and
made ready for the machinery.
Mr. Quick, a former resident of
Rocky Mount, who is plant manager
for the new concern, informed us tKIs
morning that the machinery came to
day, and installation will begin im
mediately.
Mr. Smith, who i 8 one of the lead
ing contractors of eastern Carolina,
will arrive shortly, and he will begin
work on homes that the firm will build.
He will also do general contracting
work.
The Messrs. Preddy are highly rec
ommended lumber men, and have been
associated' with concerns that manu
factured building materials 'in Rocky
Mount for years. Mr. G. M. Preddy
frill arrive Tuesday with his family
to make his home here. They will be
at home in the Tar Heel Apartments.
The installation of this mill here
"will mean a great deal to Wllliamsfon

sums have been sent out of our coun

facturer or dealer that could take cai*P
of our needs. The Roanoke Supply
Co.'s slpgan is "Call on us for what
you want, and we will get it," and the
reputation of its membeis assures the

he said," in setting a hen you ought
always to put an odd number of eggs
under her. Don't put too many and

number.

ING -LAST TUESDAY NIGHT; '
SCO IT COUNCIL LEADER FROM
GREENVILLE TO BE PRESENT
AND MAKE TALK.
Scoutmaster Simon Lilley and a few
friends to the boys of our town met
at the schoolhouse on Tuesday night
last With them also was the coun
cil fcailer, Mr. John Wilcox. Mr. Wjl
cox tomes to our city as one of Ijis
appointments on. a circuit of Martin,
Beaufort, and Pitt Counties. He is
exceptionally well prepared for, the
work he is undertaking and was giv
en the glad. hand by those present.
However, due to the number not be
ing sufficiently large to start the edu
cational work off with a bang it was
decided to postpone the beginning of
regular work until Tuesday night,
March 24, at the school building. No
tices will be sent to different sections
of the county inviting representative
men who really love the young boys
of their communities to meet with the
council leader here next Tuesday
higlit. It is hoped that interest now
fyirtg dormant may be aroused in a
few men in each town of the county
who may build up local scout tioops.
It has never been reckoned what
the annual damage to public and" pri
vate property in Martin County done
lij "real hn)est to-goodness" boys is.
It .may never be reckoned, but
same business sense our big business
men apply to their occupations would
seem to urge that we spe.nil some
money to keep these boys, who may
"become criminals by neglect, busied
with something gainful and profitable.
Money _is spent for schools, to be
sure, blithe schools and churches may
lot have an appeal, ami ,at the same
I time scouting may have an appeal
for some of our boys.
P" f fiwe ■+* passing, ami one of-these
clays these boys are, going to fill the
j positions of the business men of Wil
liaipston. The question is, Will they
j be thrust into the job suddenly with-
I out preparation of all kinds, or will
j they lie made to believe that they are
partly responsible for the morals and
I spirit of our town now. Really, whose
boys-are they? If they are ours, rich
01 poor, trained or untrained—and
they are—we are due to help them
out in their scouting If we are in
'doubt about the value oV scouting,
wr are due it to our boys to attend
tins meeting Tuesday night and find
ut what Scouting is. If it is good,
support it; if not profitable, discred
it If it..is passable, dignify it with
your attention, even though, it calls
from you a knock or a boost. If
is good, your knock will prove a
booifl. Sometimes the scout ami the
forgotten boy will sit in judgment on
what we ditifor scouting. Dan Cupid
is no respecter of persons, and love
lights where one least Suspects. Which
Mould we prefer love had plighted?
Your daughter and a scout, or your
daughter and the forgotten boy? As
safety insurance it looks like money
-«l ent to help make scouts is a neces
sity. Hut as parents we know our
,boys have energy and are going to
expend it in some, way; therefore, we
should attend the scout meeting qn
Tuesday night and try personally to
assist in guiding those energies, which,
left to themselves, so often result dis
astrously. If you are a lover of boys,
don't wait for an invitation; come to
the school building Tuesday night,
March 24, at 7.45 o'clock.
