The rain which fell in this county Wednesday afternoon was a blessing to the farmers. Corn, oats, wheat and vegetab les were suffering from dryness, but the light rain brightened things up considerably. That rain was worth thousands. Cot ton seemed to be fairing very well. Some few are complain- c? ing about not having a good stand, but on the whole, cotton is looking well. Can't things change quickly. It was not many months ago when President Diaz of Mexico and President Taft of the United States stood on the bridge that spans the Rio Grande celebrat ing Mexican independence. Since that time a revolution has stirred the country. Diaz has been disposed and he is today a man without a country who has taken refuge on foreign shores. Flies have perhaps never been so numerous as they are this season. Because of these germ carrying pests, there is more sicknesss right at this season than there has been in some time. "Swat the fly" is a good slogan. Yes, kill them all and have less sickness and few er deaths. Wonder why the promotors of the North Carolina Interur- ban Electric Railway of which . . . Mr.McKay is the financial agent is so prone to secrecy. Those who contributed toward the survey are entitled to know what progress is being made, if there is any. . The Montgomery Advertiser sees that President Taft will be re-nominated and says that the office-holders of Alabama are like the billy goat at the animal convention, they have "done voted." Just so in North Caro lina. Subscribers, we have revis ed our circulation books and in transferring so many names there may be mistakes. Notice your label. If there is a mis take, show us where we are wrong and we will gladly cor rect it. Charity and Children points to the First Baptist Church here as a fine architectural example for other churches in the State miles east of town after an ill new la&tiris OVc'r 12 months Everybody that heard of his death, spoke of his honesty, faithfulness, goodness and ac tivity and he was a man that deserved all the good things said about him. Several weeks ago he suffered a stroke of para-j lysis and up until the time of his death his suffering was ifl tense. The funeral was con ducted at Elizabeth church Wednesday at 11 o'clock by Rev. J. W. Suttle. pastor. Mr. Roberts joined Pleasant Hill church and was later one of the founders of Elizabeth. For sev eral years he was superintend ent of the Sunday School there and at the time of his death was an active and consecrated deacon. , He was a highly respected man and was known by old and young as "Uncle Billy." They had supreme confidence in him and he was a leader in his community. What "Uncle Billy" said was right, was right. He was quiet and unassuming and everybody loved him. He married Miss Sallie Allen who was a devoted companion throughout his life. Had he lived - until September 19, he would have been 60 years old. The following children survive: Messrs. Robert, Tom and Wil liam Roberts, Mesdames Eddins Roberts. Frank Hord, Clarence Cabiness and Chevis Blanton, all of whom are true young men and noble women. The handsome brick church at Eliza beth was filled with friends and I relatives when the funeral ser vice was held. Mr. Suttle paid a beautiful tribute to the man that has gone beyond and on his grave were laid pretty flow ers gathered by dear friends and admirers. The county has lost one of its very best citizens whose life will forever be an inspiration to us. Attorney General Think it a Sweep ing Victory for GQvernmet What is Held. The tobacco trust decission is characterized by Attorney Gen eral Wickersham as "a mosi comprehensive and sweeping" victory for the government, The trust is held to he a com bination in restraint of trade a monopoly in violation of law. The decision affects 65 Amer ican corporationa, two English Corporations and twentr-nine Individual defendants. An Opportunity is given we trust to disintegrate and recre ate a condition of transarftng business not repugnant le -Taw. If at the end of six xt reight months the corporations failed to bring themselves within the law, a receivership and disolu tion by court decree will fol low. The trust is held to have been guilty of intimidation and clear ly to have shown a purpose to stifle competion. Chief Justice White an nounced the decision, which was practically unanimous, al though Justice Harlan dissented on several points. As in the Standard Oil case. Justice. Harlan resents the ap plication of the "rule of reason" to the Sherman anti-trust law. The court having held the defendant corporations guilty of conscious wrong-doing, Jus tice Harlan "is not at all anx ious" to perpetuate any new combination growing out of them. WHEN A MA 500--MILE RACE One Life Lost and Several Injured in Speed Way Automobile Races. One life was sacrificed and several men were injured Tues day in the first 500-mile motor race on the speedway at Indian apolis. Ind. The great test of skill and endurance was won by Ray Harroun, driving a Mar mon car in six hours, 41 mi n -utes and eight seconds. Forty drivers were in the contest S. P. Dickson, mechanician, lost his life when his car upset on the back stretch. Dickson and Greiner were in jfn Amplex car on the 30th mile when thejrim of one of the front wheels flew off. The car twisted and hopped about on the track, hurling the men from their seats. Dickson was thrown 20 feet against a fence and terribly mangled. Gen. Car May Run. j Tom Pence hears a report in Washington that the entries for the Senatorial race have not yet closed and there is strong probability of other candidates in addition to the four already signified their intention of mak-, ing the race. The name of Gen. Julian S. Carr is the latest to be mention ed in connection with the Sen atorial honors. The information brought to Washington is that many of General Carr's friends are urging that he enter the con test, believing that he will have as good a chance of capturing the plum as any of the other entries.
