Mur der with sensational facts surround ing was that which occurred near Bellamy Mill, in Halifax county, on the farm ofC.'R. Addock, Sun day. The alleged facts in the case as learning in this city are as fol lows: Sunday morning V. II.

All of the parties concerned do not bear the most savory reputa tion and the crime is credited to a largo extent to the fact that they were all drunk.

A woman will have the honor of making the first trip in the first monoplane ever built in this country, if plans for to-day's trial trip of the strange air craft are carried to a successful conclusion. She is Mrs. A. C. Hillman, the wife of the daring aeronaut of the same name. The monoplane is a different sort of aeroplane, inasmuch as it does not get its motive power from propel lers, as does the Wrights success ful machiue, but gains it from wings that sweep the air as do a bird's. The body of the machine resembles a cigar and is formed of a skeleton of strong light spruce covered with canvas. A 50-horse-power motor is expected to propel the wings and is a special design. To relieve constipation, clean out the bowels, tone and strengthen the digestive organs, put them in a nat ural condition with Holllster's Rooky Mountain Tea, the most, reliable tonic for thirty years. 85 cents, Tea or Tablets at Dr. Kent's Drugs store and Granite Falls Drug Co.

Have you ever noticed in your dealings with lesser government officials, national or municipal, that the farther down the line you go, the more importance and self consciousness you meet. And you will find it so in every walk of life; the less a man is paid, the more authority he attempts to assume. J The foregoing is prompted by j the personal experience of one v ho some time ago wanted to go iiom Y , a small town on the south I eru railway, to Z , a still small I er place in this state. The officious clerk at the little station, who was probably getting ten dollars a week I informed the would-be traveler that he couldn't sell him a ticket to Z , because, although the train passed through there, it did not stop. It was only a flag station, and wasn't eveu down ou the time tables. The gentleman would have to go through Z , to Hickory, eleven miles further ou, and then go back to Z from Hickory the next day. Asa mat ter of fact he didn't have any tickets to Z at any time!" asked the traveler. "At no time," an swered the clerk. But our friend was a man who believed in "going to headquar ters." He knew the old story about men "clothed with a little authority." He wrote to Wash ington, to the head of the traffic department, where men are paid for what they know. Men with brains and the power of executive ability draw big salaries. So the gentleman was not surprised when he got a very courteous letter from Washington stating that the train would certainly stop at Z if he wished to get off. Indeed, the department thauked him for call ing its attention to the fact that Z was a bigger place than the clerk at Y was aware of. And the next day Mr. Clerk informed the intending traveler that he would be pleased to sell him a ticket to Z , and the train would stop there. He was awfully sorry about the former incident, but lact was he was so busy that he told him the train did not stop at Z just to get rid of him! The moral of all this? Go to headquarters. Deal with the men who are responsible, but who do not feel the importance of their position. It's the fellow who although a busy man, has time to 1m polite to all comers, and forgets his own identity, who draws down the fat salary envelope, l he men who think they run our big in dustries are the fellows who get a fifty cent increase of salary every vear. P. S. If you happen to look for in the time tables, vou'l Z find it there in big type. Eighteen Cars of Blankets Elkin, May 2S.
