Mr. Henry Russell, a farmer resid ing about seven miles from town, had a little experience a night or. two ago, that gave him a severe fright He heard a noise at his back gate, and went out to investigate the cause. He discovered a man lying on the ground. This looked a lit tle suspicious, so he called to soma one at the house to come and help him. investigate.- The man lying on the ground Jumped up and fired a load of shot at Mr. RusselL Then he ran away as fast as he could. Mr. Russell failed to Identify him, and cannot account for. his strange actions. ! ' a Will be by .the,: Fa II Rumber cjt k - B u in ss W eft J nte rest? .

BEFORE THE RAIN. mmm A gentleman related to us the oth er day a story of the, hot weather up in New Jersey. A farmer had a pop corn field and his neighbor -had a dairy. The hot weather" popped out all of the corn and the wind blew it over in his neighbor's cow pasture. The cows saw it coming and thought it was a snow, storm. They froze to death before they got to the cow stables." That is hot weather some, but how is this for dry weather; and It's no fish story either. The well of Mr. Jerry Sawyer, about five miles from town, caught on fire a few nights ago and burned up.. We obtained the information from a reliable source; and, if any one is skeptical about the truth of it, it's only about five mileB out tp Mr. Saw yer's farm, where the charred re mains of the well can be seen with out Tcharge or fee. FINE LOCATION FOR ' A GOOD DOCTOR Do you know a doctor who wants a fine, location? Well, Newland township, this coun ty wants a good doctor. This -is a splendid field for some good doctor who wanta3to build Up a splendid practice and have an Inde pendent income. ' The township con tains about 1,803 or ,0i0 people. It is a fine country and. the people are prosperous, well-to-do farmers, who live in good homes and have a plenty. The last doctor to reside in the township had a yearly practice of s bout $2,0Ol. -. ' The Qesple of this progressive town f hip are tired of having to send 15 or twenty mile for a doctor. They want one located in their midst. COTTOn oiLmuu h f H V' I till ,V I I I I I I 111 I .

RAIN WORTH MANY THOUSAND DOLLARS Wednesday afternoon about three o'clock the drought in this section was broken by a severe wind and rain storm. The wind blew like a tornado and the rain fell in torrents, but so far no reports have been re ceived of serious damages. The dry spell has been one of the longest experienced in this section in years, and the. weather has been the hottest. The crops were suffering extremely; and in a few days they would have been ruined. The rain came just in time to save the far mers, and it will be worth thousands of dollars to this section. - . FOREST FIRES BURN " VALUABLE TIMBER. Thousands of dollars worth of tim ber has been burned in Tyrrell and Washington counties the first of this week. .;.

Large areas of Tyrrell county embracing the holdings of the Branning Manufac turing Company, and Kramer Bros. Company had been subjected as a prey to the flames, .and in the Lake Phelps section, Washington county, the holdings of the Pittsborough Land & Lumber Company, had suffered. Fires have raged between MacKey's Ferry and Columbia lor several days. The heavy rain of Wednesday came as a timely rescue of the tlm cr c these couVJe. or the d.im age would have been far greater.

' BUFFALO INCREASING. The American Bison Society road a careful census and found that thera .. were 2,108 pure-blood buffalo in North America as compared with 1,917 when the 1908 census was made..' tOf thee buffalo 1,007 ' are in captivity In the United States,- 628 are' ' Id I captivity - id -Cuiuida; and 473. are wild.., In: 1303 there were M16 buffalo in captivity in the United States, and of these a considerable number was chased by the Canadian government, but the : buffalo census xbiw an actual -fa crease cf about 2C9 The largest herds in private hand new are at Belve dere, Kansas,; Ronon, Mont; New port, N. H.; Pawnee, Okla.; Good night, Texas, and? on Antelo Island' Great Salt Lake. What Do you Think About It? It has been settled once more that the Maine was blown up from the inside, but the United States will not feel called upon to take back the licking she gavel Spain about it. Greensboro News. It might make reparation to the extent, at least, of returning ' the Philippines and throwing in the twen ty million dollars paid Spain for the transfer. That would be the best day's work the country ever did for Itself. Norfolk Virginian Pilot. GLASS HOUSES. Speaking of the fever situation In Wilmington the Charlotte Observer as this to say: It does not become the people of any town to cry "Unclean!" at any er town which happens to have gone few points beyond, the average al lowance of a disease so widely spread through so wholly preventable aj ty phoid. With low water and files both making favorable conditions for infection, there are plenty of towns right in this section which may ex- eeed Wilmington's proportion of cas es before the summer is past . We entertain little doubt that some of the smaller towns have already ex ceeded it and that some of the rural districts have exceeded it still more. The point bi well taken. ' 'There are few towns in Mortn Carolina that do not need to cleanse their own skirts of shame before beginning to cast stones, We know that this would pply to Elizabeth City. L. ' 'i .
