THE SNOW HILL RAILROAD
1t Must Come to Scotland Neck.

THE COMMONWEALTH last week made
mention of the Snow Hill railroad and
! suggested efforts to get it to Scotland
land Neck.
By appointment last Tuesday Mess
M. Hoffman, N. B. Josey, A. Mcdowell
and E. E. Hllliard went to Tarboro to
confer with a committee from the board
of trade of that town concerning the
proposed road from Snow Hill. Mr..
Paul Jones, of Tarboro, reported that
he and others had been to Snow Hill.
The Snow Hill people desire railroad,
and there is to be an election in Greene
county about the first of June to vote
on the question of a railroad. They
have q charter for road to go where
they wish. Stock has already been
subscribed and five directors elected on
the part of the private stockholders.
The county of Greene is to vote ON the
question and then the county commits
sloners are to elect the other stock
holders.
Goldsboro offers $4,000 If they will
build the road from Snow Hill to that
! point; but road to Goldsboro from
Snow Hill would not touch the best
part of Greene county.
The Tarboro people and the people
along the line from Snow Hill to Tar
boro are anxious to have the road come
this way, touch Tarboro, Scotland Neck
and tap the Seaboard railroad at Rox-
obel or Rich Square.
Mr.. Litchenstein, of Tarboro, was
made chairman of the meeting Tues
day, and Mr.. Paul Jones secretary. 1t
was the sense of the meeting that the
Tarboro people make a canvass from
Kill Quick to Snow Hill, and the Scot.
land Neck people from Kill Quick to
Rich Square or Roxobel, meet in Tar
boro on the first day of June and pre-
pare to make some strong propositions
to the Snow Hill people to bring their
road this way. The question of locat-
ing the road will be settled in Snow
Hill on the tenth dav of June.
The people of Scotland Neck are call
ed to meet in Temperance Hall next
Monday night, Oath, to consider the
matter and formulate propositions.
A road from Snow Hill to the Sea-
board road at the point contemplated
would be a great artery to Tarboro and
Scotland Neck, and we believe the peo-
pie thus to be benefited will not be
slow to see it.
Let everybody come to the meeting
Monday night.

FOUL MURDER.
Poison administered IN Capsules.

There was sensational prellminar
trial In Tarboro Tuesday. At Conetoe
in Edgecombe county, Saturday nigh
a white man named Fred Keel died I'm
der suspicious circumstances.
A colored man named Ben Field
was arrested in Tarboro Sunday ant
placed in jail. Later white mar
named Thad Afford was arrested ano
placed In Jail. Judge Sutton was ir
Tarboro and instructed them to wire
for Solicitor Daniel from Weldon. They
did so and Mr.. Daniel was in Tarborc
at the preliminary trial Tuesday.
The case was heard before Justices J.
B. Keech, Jr., J. A. Davis and B. E.
Cobb. Solicitor Daniel represented the
States interest and Mr.. Donnell Gillian
appeared for the defendants.
| DR.. L. L. Staten was the first witness.
He testified that in company with the
Solicitor he went to the Jail Tuesday
morning. and Ben Fields, the colored
man under arrest, said that Saturday
night he and Keel, the poisoned man,
were drinking together, and Thad AL
ford, the white man under arrest, gave
him two packages of capsules, 4 In each,
and told him to give Keel one package
and take the other himself-that they
would kill the effect of liquor. He
gave Keel one package who took two
capsules. Fields only tasted his and it
tasted like salt.
w. D. Dawson and Henry Hopkins,
citizens of Conetoe, said Keel went in
to J. B. Dawson's store about 10 80
o'clock, soon became unable to stand
up, said that the pills Ben Fields had
given him were going to kill him. He
had commissions and physician was
sent for, but Keel grew worse and died
at 8 o'clock Sunday morning.
DIR. Staten in his testimony stated
that he went to Conetoe Sunday, took
out the stomach, intestlnes and brains
of the dead man, sealed them up and
sent them to Raleigh for examination.
He stated that Keel's body showed
signs of poisoning-rigidity of the
muscles, color of the skin. He descrlb-
ed what the effect of poison would be
on a person, and the testimony of
Dawson and Hopkins was that Keel's
condition before death corresponded
with the description which DR.. Staten
gave of poisoned man.
We did not hear the evidence of all
the witnesses, having to leave to attend
to other matters !; but 1t seemed strong
case against the colored man and per-
haps as strong against the white man.
They were bound over without bail
and placed in Jail until November
court. It was rumored that Afford was
intimate with Keel's wife.

Death of Mr.. Henry Morris.


Mr.. Henry Morris, one of Tarboro's
best citizens, died at his home there
Thursday night, 18th, aged 81
years. He was a fine business man,
had held prominent positions in his
town and community; and while
mayor of Tarboro he was sent to Char
lesion with money from his town for
the earthquake sufferers and it was said
he was the first to arrive there with
help. It was largely through his Ell
forts and influence that the new Jewish
synagogue was built in Tarboro last
Richmond for interment.

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kllmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
'fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part OF the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing It, or bad eff
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri-
nate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest tor its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. Il
you need medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have
sample bottle and pamphlet both
sent free by mail. Mention THE Com
