Most single young men could cut their expenses ;
20 per cent easily and be better for it . :
Why not fortify your finances by making such a
readjustment NOW and saving that 10 per cent or

If you save when you are not forced to you can
spend when "others are forced to economize.
We pay 4 per cent on savings.

Shot Heard Near Humble Home
in Late Evening and Visit
Reveals Murder.
Lynchburg. Va. July 30 Another
mystery, stirred the people of Nelson
county, when the body of an old man
named McGann, whose first name is
thought to be Meredith, was found ly
ing on the porch of his lonely hut about
two miles from here this morning by a
passerby.. The brains of the dead man's
head . covered the floor. There was a
hole in the top of his head.
Although no weapon was found near
it is supposed that he was killed by a
charge from a shot gun, and the ab
sence of a weapon leads to the belief
that he was murdered in cold blood as
he sat upon his porch, This belief is
strengthened by the fact that a neigh
bor heard a gunshot in the direction of
McGanns place last evening about
dust, and it was this same neighbor who
took the pains this morning to come to
the hut, which is off of the road, and
see whether all was well with its lonely
inhabitants.
McGann was between sixty and sev
enty years old and from all accounts
was a respected citizen of his neighbor
hood. No possible clue to the cause of
the tragedy has been found this morn
ing. He was not known to have any
enemies for he had been living on his
little farm for many years and was
regarded by his neighbors. Not much
is bnown of his past history here, how
ever. It is thought that he has several
children and his wife is believed to be
dead. He had lived in a small house:
by himself and was to all appearances
a harmless and decent old man.
No inquest has yet been hold, aa the
matter has just been reported to the
authorities here. The entire absance
of any reason for the murder, ns the
circumstances seem to unquestionably
indicate, was the case, leaves the au
thorities without a single clue to follow.

Denounced Willlan,Stone
Chief of Police Hargett received a
letter yesterday morning from a paity
in Virginia in regards to William Stone
the young man from Baltimore, Md.,
and who in company with a Miss Nellie
Small was arrested in this city a few
days ago on a warrant charging them
with immorality, which, if the facts in
the case could be proven would put
Stone behind the bars for several yean
The writer stated thut he had known
Stone for several years and that he
a engaged in the "white slave"
traffic and that if it wbb necessary he
could give the names of several girls
whom Stone had lured away from home
Be also stated that Stone was wanted
in several cities, for running confidence'
games. '
Judging from all reports the man haa
left quite alad record m his wake.
Kinston People Gratified.
Kinston has sent nearly a thousand
people to the New Bern Bi-Centennial
celebration, first and last contributing
thereby to a large extent to its success.
Kinston people as a rule are good
spenders, so far as their means will
admit and in this way they have also
helped our neighbor city to make the
celebration the great success that it
was. New Bern citizens are fully ap
preciative of the above facts and have
manifested it in exceedingly great hos
pitality to the visitors from this city.
