Thursday, April 18, 190?. THE RALEIGH ENTERPRISE. STATE NEWS. Mfss Gertrude Pearce and Mr. Nance, both of Mooresville, were married Saturday at the home of Mr. J. L. Atwell in that town. The Conference for Southern Edu cation, promoted and attended by ed ucators from the South and the North, was in session at Southern Pines last week. 1 In Moore County Monday morning Cinda McCrumman was shot and killed by John Taylor, both colored. Jealousy is believed to have been the cause. The slayer escaped. Mrs. Mary Wilson, of Catawba Township, died Friday at the ripe old age of eighty-five. She was the wi dow of the late Logan Wilson and tho mother of Messrs. A. W. Wilson, C. A. Wilson and P. L. Wilson, says the Newton Enterprise. The Newton. Enterprise says the home of Mr. Abernethy, a tenant on Lee Hewitt's farm near Maiden, was burned one night last week with its contents. The inmates had barely time to escape, and could save noth ing. Lon. Snipes, who recently killed W. L. Williams in a house of ill-fame in Wilmington, was tried last week but the jury failed to agree. Snipes has been admitted to bail in the sum of $4,000, but he may not be able to give bond. Governor Glenn has requested Gen. J. F. Ar infield and the three colonels of the regiments of the State troops to meet in Raleigh the 16th instant. It will then be definitely decided as to an encampment at the Jamestown Exposition. Esq. J. T. Ferguson made a trip to Jefferson last week. He returned Sunday and reports plenty of snow and ice. He found snow eight inches deep and along the mountain the trees were covered with icicles some fifteen Inches long, says the Wilkes boro Chronicle of last week. Jo. Morehead, colored, was shot seriously, if not fatally wounded, in Greensboro Wednesday night by an other negro, who escaped. The shoot ing grew out of a frivolous affair. The night before a negro was killed in Greensboro. Bad town for the col lored citizen.. T. E. McCrary, chief clerk in the United States Marshal's office at Greensboro, has resigned and is buc ceeded by J. T. Winslow, of Ashe boro. A shake-up is in progress in the Marshal's office. Last week an office deputy resigned. Whether the resignations are voluntary or forced, is a question. Miss Daughtry, aged thirty-five, an inmate of the Craven County Home, fell in the fire in an epilepetic fit and was burned to death. The fire com municated to the bedding in the room and nearly cermated a colored woman who slept there to look after the epileptic. Other inmates discovered the fire and extinguished the flames. Mr. Wm. Collins, the father-in-law of Mr. H. S. Patterson, formerly of Statesville, died in Greensboro a few days ago. Wednesday while his children- Mrs. Patterson and his two sons were looking over his effects they found $1,500 in gold hid in the bottom of an old trunk and $140 in the pockets of an old vest in a closet. In Edgecombe County a few days ago two negro women were fishing in Swift Creek when one of them fell into the stream in water two feet deep. Her hands stuck in the mud, and being a large woman, she was unable to extricate herself. Her com panion ran for help, but when as sistance arrived the woman was drowned. T. M. Angle, of Milton, who had been sentenced to a term in a Fed eral prison for violating the internal revenue laws, has succeeded in get- ing a rehearing before the Circuit Court of Appeal and his case will come up before that court next Octo ber. This court had previously de cided against ' his appeal for a new trial by a vote of 2 to 1, but has now granted a rehearing and Angle may" yet escape a term of imprisonment. Another Train is Wanted to Clinton. General Passenger Agent C. W. Craig and General Superintendent A. W. Anderson of the Atlantic Coast Line held a conference with the Cor poration Commission a few days ago in regard to giving additional service on the Clinton branch of the Coast Line, between Warsaw and Clinton. At the present time there is only one passenger train each way daily, and a double daily service is asked. Pas sengers reaching Warsaw on the morning train from Wilmington have no way of reaching Clinton until late in the afternoon, making it take a day and a half to make a round trip from Wilmington to Clinton.

Laundries Make Change in PricesT The laundries of the city claim that they have been losing money in pro ducing some of their work, and it is understood there will be a slight change in the prices of a few articles. For instance, collars and cuffs have heretofore been laundried at two cents, will be advanced to two and one-half cents, and cuffs formerly laundried at four cents, will be charged five cents. The various laundries wish to be perfectly frank with the public in the advance and are notifying their patrons of the change. The laundries are to be com mended for advising the public in ad vance of the very slight change In the price before sending in bills, and if they cannot live at the old rate, then the advance is due them. How ever, it is such a small matter it is hardly worth referring to. The state ment is merely made to set the laun dries right with a discriminating public. Until we learn the only way to serve God is to serve our neighbor, we may have knocked at the wicket gate, but I doubt if we have got our feet across the threshold. George MacDonald. Hard Times in Kansas. The old days of grasshoppers and drouth are almost forgotten in the "I was worn out and discour aged coughing night and day, and prosperous Kansas of to-day; al though a citizen of Codell, Earl Shamburg, has not yet forgotten a hard time he encountered. He says: I could find no relief till I tried Dr. King's New Discovery. It took less than one bottle to completely cure me." The safest and most reliable cough and cold cure and lung and throat healer ever discovered. Guar anteed by all Druggists. 50c. and $1,00. Trial bottle free. GRAVES, MAKES PEOPLE STARE. That Astounding Speech of His De livered at Chattanooga, Washington, D. C, April 12. The Washington Post says this morning: "Nothing coming from a Democrat in recent years has attracted more attention among politicains than the speech of John Temple Graves, the distinguished Georgia editor, at the Bryan Anniversary Club dinner, at Chattanooga, Wednesday night. Mr. Graves, whose democracy no man can impeach, took the advanced ground that Mr. Bryan, at the forthcoming Democratic National Convention should nominate Mr. Roosevelt for another term. "He did this on the theory that more Democratic policies had been enacted into law under Mr. Roosevelt than any Democrat could hope to equal, and that with the Senate as it now standsno Democratic President could work reforms along purely Democratic lines. For this reason he believed another four years of Roose velt would be for the best good of the country, in that it would advance Democratic principles. "Whatever the President may have thought of his utterance, he did not find it convenient to take the public into his confidence. He declined to discuss for publication or make any comment on this remarkable speech, and from Secretary Loeb it was im possible to obtain any idea as to how the President felt about this unex pected indorsement of his policies." That song is sweetest, bravest, best, Which plucks the thistle-barb of care "... . From a despondent brother's breast, And plants a sprig of heart's ease : - there.'. - His Dear Old Mother. "My dear old mother, who is now eighty-three years old thrives on Electric Bitters, writes W. B. Brun son, of Dublin, Ga. "She has taken them for about two years and enjoys an excellent appetite, feels strong and sleeps well." That's the way Electric Bitters affect the aged, and the same happy results follow in all cases of female weakness and general debility. Weak, puny children too, are greatly strengthened by them. Guaranteed also for stomach, liver and kidney troubles, by all Druggists. ! 50 cents. Renew Promptly. We often meet subscribers whose subscriptions have expired and who say that they wanted the paper on, didn't want to miss a copy, but neg lected to renew; "didn't come to town," etc. They show their faith by renewing. But they could often avoid missing several issues of the paper by using the U. S. mails, which were Invented for Just such purposes.

Think of it! The Raleigh Enterprise and the American Farmer both one year for only $1.00. IT'S STRANGE That the majority of piano buyers imagine the higher the price the better the article without stopping to investi gate. Every person in the South should know that the Artistic Stieff is sold direct from the factory to fireside, thus saving the middleman's profit to the home. The retail dealers piano at a higher price is not and can not be better, it is simply a matter of profit. His piano at the same price won't compare with the Stieff, because neces sarily it must be a cheaper grade to cover his profit. Pay ing his profit does not secure a better piano.
