A WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT.
The Method hy which = Deaf and
Bltnd Roy Was Taught.

William +. Ellis writes "A paper for
the St. Nicholas on Helen Keller and
Tommy Stringer," telling hov the we'll
known blind girl secured mems fer the
education of n little boy similarly af-
fiioted. BY personal appeals to the pub
lie Helen raised sufficient sum TO send
little Tommy Stringer to the kinder
garten for the blind at Jamaica Plain,
Mass, Mr.. Ellis says of his education in
this institutions.
''Thither. on April 10, 1921. came
"Baby Tom," as Helen called this five
year-old child. Il was pitiful spec
tacle that greeted his Boston friends
when the boy was brought to the kim
dcrgartcn. His life had been spent
mostly in bed tit was the easiest place
to care for him). and he could not
walk at all, nor even stand with con-
fidence. or signs for indicating his
wants he had none. he was MS little
beast. tearing and destroying his own
clothes, and all else destructible that
was within his reach. His temper and
stubbornucss were fearful.
To the appalling task of giving the
first rays of ligh< to this child, Helen
and her teacher set themselves, until a
permanent instructor could be secured.
With almost inconceivahle patience and
lovr. kind friends begun the education
OF this untutored mind. The lessons OF
discipline. regular habits, and obe-
dience had to rrecede and accompany
the teaching of manual speech.
How could this child. who Ind not

CAUTION.

We desire to caii :a,ehtion to tie fact
hat the Hon. J. j. Jackson, Judge OF the
United States Circuit Court, in and for
the District Of West Virginia, granted
an injunction at Charleston, West Vir-
ginia, May 9TH, 1897, in which he decided
that oar firm has the right to use the
word "Pocahontas' or "Pocahontas Flat
Top" in connection with coal, the Court
being of the opinion that we have not
only the right to use the word "Poca-
ontas" for the purpose of indicating that
our coal comes from the Pocahontas
Field, but also that we have the SOLE
right to use said word as indicating the
character Of coal we sell.
In view of said decision the trade is
cautioned against infringing upon said
trademark "Pocahontas" as a name for
designating coal in the sale thereof, and
all invasion or infringements on our ex-
elusive rights will be dealt with according
to law.

TOOK HIM FOR A. SPANISH SPY.
Mr.. Ellington's Novel Experience with
Filipusters at Southport.

Mr.. j. C.. Ellington, ex-State Librarian,
has been called Santa Claus and the
Patriarch" because of his great wealth
of silver beard, but never until this week
has he had the novel experience of being
called a Spanish spy. He has been for sew
eral days closely watched by a filibuster-
ing expedition which feared that every
minute he would have a revenue cutter
swoop down upon them and capture their
whole outfit.
1t came about in this way: Mr.. Filing
ton went to Southport recently on n visit
to an Old-time friend, Capt. Simon Davis
who was pilot on Confederate block
ade runner during the war. Now it hap
pened that Mr.. Ellington and the fihbus-
tering steamer, Alexander Jones, reached
Southport about the same time. The har-
Dor, the dock, the boats and the boat
houses We're all new to Mr.. Ellington. He
delighted to wander about among them
And so he wandered, saying little TO any
body. Few knew who he was. Nobody eX-
cept Capt. Davis knew his business. The
fact that he arrived at the same time that
the filibusters did excited suspicion. Then
the report started that he was a Spanish
spy, keeping tab on the filibusters. The
flibusters heard it and CONSERVATION at
once spread among them. That very night
they slipped out of the harbor and went
over to Wilmington under the pretext of
having some repairs made.
Mr.. Ellington concluded it was about
time for him to come back to Raleigh, so
he went over to Wilmington, too, on his
way back. The filibusters were now
keeping close watch of his movements, so
that night they slipped out to sea and
were gone. Then it all came out-the spy
business-and Mr.. Ellington enjoyed it
greately. He took pains, however, before
leaving to let the people know that he
was not only not a Spanish spy, but that
he would not ask much to go to Cuba and
help the Cubans drive every Spaniard
out of the island.

AN ATROCIOUS MURDER.
\ Brother of Mr.. l. G. Blair, of Raleigh
Murdered in Arkansas.

+ Mr.. |. C.. Blair, a teacher in the Blind
Institute, of this city, received news a
few days ago of the murder of his broths
er at Little Rock, Arkansas. No motive
for the killing has yet been given. The
Heard who shot him, kept his horse at
Blair's livery stable. ~ e ss@
From the account as given in an Ar
kansas paper we make an extract or
two. One of the witnesses to the shoot
ing testified as follows:
Il work in Blair's stable. When the
shooting occurred was leaning in the
window about ten feet from the men
when the first shot was fired. | saw
the man who did the shooting. When
he came up there he had a grip in one
hand and an overcoat on his arm. Mr..
Blair and he sat and talked not over
thirty minutes before the shooting. Mr..
Blair gave him chair. / did not know
the man. | did not hear what they said.
Mr.. Blair was smiling and laughing and
clapping his hands together. The man
got up just before he fired and stepped
backwarCfsa stepaor two and pulled his
gun and fred. Mr.. Blair shouted, Muir
der, murder; Lord have mercy. The
man got the gun out of his right hip peck
ct. He had a mustache. The grip was
swung on his shoulder by a strap"
The paper then has this about the feel
ing in the community:
After Heard had been placed in Jail,
the officers became aware of the growing
sentiment among the assembled people,
and Sheriff Kavanaugh determined to
prevent any trouble by getting the ac-
cused out of the way. Deputy Sheriffs
n A. Beller, Gene Jabine and G. G.
Kavanaugh removed him from the jail
at 9:15 O'clock so quietly that it was not
known to anyone save the officers, who
walked with him several blocks. down
the street back of the Jail, secured a car
riage and drove with him to Alexander,
a station on the Iron Mountain thirteen
miles south Of the city, Here they caught
the southbound train little after two
O'Clock, and left for Texarkana, sswhere
he was placed in Jail this morning"

SPECIMENS FOR THE MUSEUM.

Another fine lot of specimens came In
for the Museum yesterday morning. The
shipment included no less than five spe-
cies of sharks, viz: Sand shark, Ham
mer-head, Bonnet-head, Blue and Sharp
nOsed sharks. There were two or three
different species of Sting Rays and some
Butterfly Rays as well. The largest spe-
cimen was Sand shark of about eight
feet in length and the rest varied be-
tween that length and the ten inch of a
little Sharp-nOse that was the smallest
Most of these are entirely new to the
Museum collection and will prove a valu'
able addition. These also are from the
fisheries of J. II. Potter & Sons, of Beau
fort.

Of the city, still the accommodations
