to have lei n lurcei out of doors by tLs
woman with whom i'..e lived. '
Her condition is the same of hund
reds who have become the victims of the
subtle lnfiaence of the dope. Eer home
was formerly In Lenoir county and then
she lived In Jones county coming to
Craven county about three yeara ago.
fihe has been an object of charity during
most of her wandering. ; :
Application was made for her to be
put in the county home but the Com mis
slonera at first declined to admit her be
cause of her rrorphlne habit.. Bhewas
taken to the city hall and cared for un
till Wednesday when It was finally de
cided that she could be admitted to the
poor house , :
As the saying goes, "One half of the
world does not know how the other half
Jives" so we make a practical applica
tion of the same saying as regards new
Bern. There are people white people
too, within our city , limits who suffer
even for the necessities of life and are
too proud to aak for- assistance. ; The
county home Is not a proper place tor
them and they would, of course, waist,
the action of sending them there as they
would have a right to do. But a home
of aome sort ought to be provided for
such persons.- It is but the act of Christ
lan love for suffering humanity to estab
lish such a home where rnf or lunate
ones - can at least have a shelter and
enough to eat ' ",
.It has been suggested that a fund be
started , for thla purpose by giving to
this very worthy charity Instead of giv
ing to the foreign mission cause which,
though JtBelf .ia a very noble cause,
does : not appeal to bur sympathies as
does a case like . the one presented and
which is really moire urgent It Is fur
ther suggested that the amounts - genei
ally donated to the causa of missions by
the churches are used as a nucleus to
start a fund to buy or build such a home
and then by establish a much needed In

the little daughter of a very wealthy

The house waa equal to the palace of
a "King"; the "Sultan" of Turkey might
be pleased .to dwell therein. However
the "Tonge" girl had.a roving spirit and
would take long walks in the "Woods."
Two days before she had decide! to
go lo town to buy a lace "Bertha", and
aome "Hanks" of silk. : She "Donned"
her riding habit and went alone not
even allowing her flanoe, the"rretty-
man" to accompany her. '
This was the last -time she was : seen
alive. , '
Later In the day a "H 'inter" found
her lying where a'BabblU'.' her.

the death of hia daughter whom he cher
ished as the fairest rLily." -j : ' . .
When he heard, the news he was sit

cannot sustain this awful calamity, so
Change this paper now that my daughter
lives no "Moore, j I will bequeath all 1
pofsess to my "rayloi" who has served
me well." ' ' ' '
This done he gave these Instructions,
"Carrowaj" my child and lay her beside
her 'mother In the ''GrovsB" l.near the
"Waters" of the "Brook." He then col
lapsed.' .' : "' .-A

They did a the old darkey; said and
while he steadily applied some of Duffy's

servants by rehewsing to them a tale he
had heard of a "Steward" on a big 'Hoi
