"On to Goldsboro" is the word here or, if not the word, the thought on the day before the Wake Forest football game. Coach Fetzer doesn't tell before hand what the line-up will be, but there is some tall guessing in progress.- Of -course- everybody assumes that the first-string men of last fall will go in at the beginning. Nor is there any concealment of the hope that "Red" Johnston will make some impressive gains. Sparrow, Thomas, Randolph and Merritt, all backs, are newcomers to the varsity squad who are looked upon with favor by the spectators. Burleson, Matthews, Hew field and Honeycutt are the most talked-about candidates for tackles. T BE UP AT HOMES All dwelling houses must be pro vided with mail receptacles or have slots cut in doors.

Between 12 and 1 o'clock Wednesday morning four white men, unmasked, raised a latch of the door and came into my home. I had gone to bed, but got up. They told me to come go with them, and caught hold of me. I resisted. They beat me with the butts of pistols, striking me on the arm, sides and back (Williams showed the marks on his arm. One man said, 'Ready, boys.' Then they grabbed me, carried me out and put me in an automobile standing in the street. They drove four miles in the country to a point some distance south of Victory Mill. They took me out and beat me badly. I am unable to work on account of the blows with the pistol butts on my arms. They put a rope around my neck and said they intended to hang me. One man said, 'Don't hang him. Why shculd you?' After the men had beaten me, they left me to walk four miles back home. I am 42 years Old." (Williams is now under three federal indictments on charges of selling li quor.) John Evans, 63 years old, lives on Williams street, now under indict ment on charges of selling liquor: "About 11:30 o'clock last night Cla rence Thomas, colored of Red Springs, knocked at my door. I got but of bed, went to the door and asked who was-there. Thomas an swered that he had come to stay all night. opened the door and as Tho mas entered about 20 white men, un masked,, crowded in. They told me to come go with them. I asked them 'Go where?' They said, 'Come on; we' will tell you later.' I sat down and began to reason with them. Then one big white man with a pistol in his hand came from the outside. He said 'Come on. We have waited long enough. I have been standing out there for 15 minutes.' I said, 'Let me get my coat.' He said, 'No, come without your coat." Then grabbed me and carried me out to an automobile in the street. There were two automobiles. Some of the men were walking. All had pis tols. They carried me four miles in the country. They beat me unmerci fully with a whip. They said they were beating me because I sold li quor. They struck me in the small of my back. I have kidney trouble, and the lick nearly killed me and left me unable towork. The men then told me to walk back home, which I did in my underclothes, as they did not allow me to dress myself.

WARNING TO PARENTS. There are many young people in Tarboro who will persist in riding behind automobiles while on their" bicycles whicbis a ery dahfcproiw practice.

A certain party was passing thru the to'iji commons a few dajs agp and there were so many children hanging on to the car that the driver was forced to stop for fear of caus ing -serious injury to these children. This is a warning not only to the children, but a warning also to the parents as well. A word to the wise is sufficient. REGISTRATION BOOKS TO OPEN OCTOBER FIFTH Mr. H, D.

The Greek army in Thrace has definitely joined the revolution. The army corps in Epirus has thrown its lot with the revolutionists. . GUN TOTING. (High Toint Enterprise.) One of the perplexing problems before the recent convention of po lice chiefs in New York city was the indiscriminate manufacture and sale in America of revolvers. Figures were produ'-ed to show that 90 percent of the murders committed in this rountrv were by the use of revolvers and not a day passes without a long list of victims ..being wounded more or less seriously by weapons in crim iiial "nfinromptjttifr 'hands.' As-nr-re rei.t muting the American Bar as sociation v ent on record as favoring prohibit of the manufacture and vale of revolvers and some police chiefs i.svored more drastic regula-. lion '.h!ch would prevent the sale of trench knives and other dangerous i v. eapoi's as weir as pistols, j A number of states and cities have attempted to curb the sale of revolv ers liv law ai'd ordinance but these I . m ineffective as weapons are rea- i.'ily procurable- almost any place, lit--' tie or ii.o attention being paid to. who i buys -t lie-in. Thy -criminal element is i able to obtain nuns and ammunition I without cliflieuHy. Local legislation lis ineffective because pistols are roa i dily available through mail order i houses. who pay no attention what ever to the character of the purch I aser. Silling weapons on the permit system, therefore, is ineffective. A lieputahle citizen would be able to purchase- a piste. 1 from any responsi ble dealer for the protection of, his home i y the permit system, but the yi girs rinl thugs could ei-dly obtain weapons by other methods. ' Even national legislation, restrict ing the manufai tin e of guns and re volvers for military use only, would j tie difficult of enforcement. The only remoiiv seems to ne in me more strict - at enforcement of local laws that pro hibit the carrying of concealed wea pons. The penalty for such an of fense might be made much more se vere but even then it would require the strictest cooperation of police and courts to break up this danger ous practice.
