To Entertain a Distingnished Guest The one hundredth anniversary of the opening of the first brick school building in New Bern June 26 will be one of intense interest. The Jour nal a n )unced Sunday that the centen nial was in honor of the first public bchool building which was an error, it was the first brick building used for school purposes. The Board of Trustees are extremely fortunate in securing Hon. Hannis Tay lor to make the address for this oc casion. This distinguished man is a native of New Bern. He lived here several y ars and was a student at our i schools. His career in public life has been brilliant and he has been honored by two presidents, by President Cleve land in assigning him U. S. Ambassa dor to Spain and by President Roose velt as counsel for the United States in the Alaskan Fisheries treaties. Other honor have been given him and in all he has won the high respect and es teem of all his associates. The-citiiens should unite and make this anniversary an affair that will re flect credit on us. Dr. Pepper's Phos Forrates contain no dope or come back drops. It is a drink with merit. The Charlotte Celebration Unquestionably the City of Charlotte is outdoing herself in honoring the memories of the signers of the Meek, leuburg Declaration of Independence. Her celebration, the actual part of which began yesterday but was pro. ceded on Sunday with appropriate reli gious exercises, will be one that will live long in the memories of the ciU. sens and tha spectators. Aside from the attendance of the military companies of this State, the government has detailed four com panies of soldiers, one being artillery and another marl nee, which will have a large part In the proceeding. Char lotte is entertaining thousands of strangers. The celebration will last until tomorrow. I know positively one lady who gained four pounds while drinking Dr. Pepper. It will pay you to try it.

Chinaman Commits Suicide By Hang ing. Crowds View the Dssd Body. Political Can didates Visit Schools to Promote Their Interests. Khtstoaiant Is In Gate City. J. E. Laths n Leases Warehouse (Special Correspondence) Greensboro N. C. May 21. Nobody here has ever heard of a Chinaman com mitting cuicide before, but at least five thousand citizens, men and women viewed the dead and hanging body of Sim Lee, proprietor of the principal cun s: laundry here, yesterday afte -noon. About six o'clock yesterday afternoon two boys come running out of the alley at King & Kimballs law of fice in front of the court house, white as sheefs, declaring there was a dead man hanging in the wareroom in the rear. Investigation proved that it was the chinaman, whose laundry establish ment was in front of warehouse, facing the Federal court building and on East Market St. The body was stiff and stark, every particle of clothing being just from a store, even to his shoes be ing new. He had taken a pecie of ii on piping tied a' silk scarf around it, poked through a crack in the planks of the loft, turned the piping, stood on a cracker box, and with the noose around his neck stepped off, the step being not over twelve inches, his feet nearly touching the floor and resting against the side of the box. He must have choked to death without a struggle or effort. His brother who is a partner in the laundry was soon found, and his excited astonishment and grief was touching. He said that "Sim had been sick with consumption for some time and a few weeks ago his physician told him he could not live long and this prayed on his mind. He had been arranging to go to Washington for several days and from there to New York to be nearer home when he died, and Saturday said he believed he would go to Washington on the midnight tram last night. That he left the laundry about midnight, after all the work was over; but did not say goodby. Thinking that he had gone to Washington on a sudden notion on the one o'clock train Saturday night or Sunday morning, he had not felt trou bled about his absence. Coroner Tur ner pronounced death from suicide, after examination from the condition of the body, death having occured be tween midnight and day Sunday morn ing. The chinamen in the city soon gathered and had undertaker Poolo place the body in a casket. Examina tion satisfied them they said Sim had done his own shrouding and would not like to have anything done further than tnis. Every stitch of clothing on the body wss brand new, even to the silken scarf which made his hangman's rope. The remains were on s fsst North bound train within two hours time from the time the body was cut down. The body will be taken to New York, there embalmed and returned via San Fran cisco to his native Land in China for its final rest Sim Lee wss 35 years of age, was wall thought of and had made a comfortable fortune. The body be ing found right in the heart of the city, within fifty feet of the street car junc tion at Market and Elm street croaaings and on Sunday afternoon, made it nat ural for crowds to view the gruesome sight. It waa an hoar before the coro ner came, and the body while hanging waa viewed by Quantities of curious paopte. many women and even children taking a look. A gentleman who la nothing if not practical, in enumerating the advan taarea of schools to a community and a county, says that their value to candi- fur political office on election years, have never boon appreciated by aaVmallnrial apuetlea in their enumer ation Of benefits He says that a candl date In Guilford cunty can get to the than in any ether oonaty m la every sortioa of the of the closings of the public schools ha wary district, hiding High Point.
