He was an elder in the Presby terian church and was equally well known in business circles. "Mr. Allen's chief work, which gained him nation-wide distinction, was -the authorship of "Allen's Forty Lessons in Bookkeeping," a work that was used in many states as a text book and is still in use. " Mr. Allen was at the head of the Mechanics' Investors Co., a building and loan company in Raleigh for years." He was also secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of Raleigh for a number of years. He wrote other text books in addition to the one mentioned and he was prominent in thurch work here as he was in Raleigh. He was married in 1860 to Miss Leah Myra Jones, daughter of Frederick J.

PnaJchen'- and ''oersdns iteak rAllv who a good thing; There are a great many others who say it Is an imposition. One gentleman was heard to say last night that inasmuch as a man is re quired to pay for his box, he is in law privileged to demand that his mail be put in the box. There are those who say that they can't see why - Postmaster Basntght can t do as the Richmond postmaster did, that is.construe the law so liberally that conditions are left pretty much as they were before. The postmaster says that because others violate the law is no reason why he should and he is accordin61y keeping the lid on tight. So-called "important mail that comes tied out to itsef is put tu the boxes if it is for hotel guests or newspapers. Otherwise, no mail is put up on Sundays.

H. C. McDaniel, one of the Carolina Coast Lime Com- jjipanjr's foremen, at the Neuse river mines, near Maple Cypress, in company with a number of other young men, heard of the whereabouts of a targe rattlesnake, and went to look for him. They waiced but. a short time before, they heard a cracking of jthe underbrush, and look ing toward, the spot where the noise came from, they saw an enormous dia mond back rattlesnake, with head poised, as though he were maBter of all he surveyed. ' One well directed load of buck shot ! turned the snake down and enabled the party to measure and weigh him. The weight of the snake was reported as 102. i't pounds and the length as 8 feet, 4 inches. The circumference of, his snakeship was said to be 34 inches. . - He had 4t rattles and a button. Mr. Mc. Daniel thought so nuch of his prize lhat he decided to have the skin tanned. ' The figures in this story were brought in by a man who nas always borne a splendid reputation for veracity.

A salesman who came in from Kineton yesterday savs he went to the trouble to take a "straw vote" among the male passen gers in the coach in which he waff rid' ing.

Judge ..Clark Comes; Off Tuesday on Core Banks Every-, .body, Is Invited NEAR MARSHALLBERG No. Gate Money ChartLed But The Animals Make a Regular Circus There will be a pony penning on Core Banks, .near Marshallberg, Tuesday next,' September 10. Everybody from every where invited to attend. If "leV&alhauTft &erri Norrh Caro- line who lias never seen a pony penning, that unfortunate individual is advised to go. The little ponies roam' the "banks," swim the inlets and range on the salt marshtjs, free as the air, the whole year 'round, except when penning times comes. 1 hen they are herded and driven into corrals, that are called pens by the "bankers." Thus the term pennings." On these occasions, lovers of horse flesh from far and near congregate to look over the imprisoned ponies, many to buy, others drawn there nerely through curiosity. No gate money is charged, but the wild animals make a circus that is worth going miles to see When a pony is selected by 3 pros pective buyer, one of the herders, usua II y colored man, is sent into the pen to bring out the critter. There usually ensues an exhibition of kicking and bucking that is as good in its way as anything the Wild and Wooly West has to offer. Many of the ponies have never had a hand laid upon them and they object to being dictated to. When removed from their habitat, they often refuse to eat any of the civi lized breakfast foods of the ordinary horse, like hay, oats, etcetera. They thoroughly approve of salt marsh grass as a regular diet. When they are thirs ty they dig a hole in the sand of the beach, allow the salt water to filter through the sand, and drink the brack ish water. The history of the banker ponies is an interesting one. 1 hey are no doubt the descendants of the horses, kft on. the beach now called Core banks by Sir Walter Raleigh's third expedition. These little horses are found nowhere along the coast except on the banks that separate the Carolina sounds from the ocean. At no other place is there any authentic record of horses having been left in the long ago. Much more could be written, about the hardy little banker ponies, but the best way to find out about them is to go down to Carteret county this week and see them for yourself. poiifiiiii::;-! iiaeaiinwn -ijUjii man . tell MAN SERVICE FOR M This bank has a service for every man.
