Attempt to Escape Jail.

Mckay, the safe blower
who operated in Whiteville
several months ago, and who
has since been confined in
the Bolivar Jail, seems deter
mined to escape; but Sheriff
Sammons seems equally as
determined that he shall not
escape.
Friday evening, Mckay
made a second effort to gain
his liberty. From the stave
of a tub, he manufactured an
improvised wrench, with
which he unscrewed a tap
from an iron bar, extending
to the outer walls of the Jail,
which bar holds in position
the iron grating beneath one
of the windows. He reached
the outside tap by thrusting
his arm through the lattice
work of the window. A
fellow prisoner assisted by
holding a small mirror,
from which was reflected
the exact location of the out
side tap. Aware of the fact
that the Jail is closely watch
ed, Mckay was fearful that
the removal of the tap would
be discovered before his in
side arrangements could be
completed, hence he supplied
it's place with some decoy
contrivance, then directed his
attention to removing brick
from the inner wall, which
was an easy matter, the iron
grating having been displac-
ed. Fortunately, before he
had made much Roadway, he
was detected by our ,vigilant
Sheriff. Mckay had removed
four brick from the wall and
within a short time would
have made a hole sufficiently
large through which to es-
cape.
Mckay has been allowed
the liberty of the corridors,
but henceforth he will be
confined in a cell. He is an

man is one of the most prosperous

has long since adopted a rule, to
which he still strictly adheres-
"never leave home except on bus
mess" During his recent visit to
Bolivar, he engaged 5000 pounds of
dressed pork for future delivery.
For seven years past Mr.. Sparkman
has supplied many of our citizens in
this line; and, as an evidence that
he has given satisfaction, his old
customers refuse to buy elsewhere,
unless he finds it impossible to fur
nish them. If we had more such
farmers as Newt. Sparkman, our
county would be better off.

The Nations Jubilee has passed, my

but their memory will still be cherished

They can only be spoken Of in praise,

believe they are simply as . thing OF the

that today has It's Edisons, its Fields, its
Moses and many others of great genius

that we lack the engineering capacity to
run the machinery of a government. by

without helm, something is wrong, a
screw loose somewhere, and If things 90
on in this way we shall never see the

us there or we perish in the wilderness.
The cry of hard times is heard through
the land-some few exceptions. Here,
our section, has its Pearson, its Daniel,
Its smiling merchants, and the laboring
classes are like the woodpecker in the
tree-I care for nobody and nobody
cares for me-
Tomatoes will now be substituted for
peas and there will be another harvest
lister on. The music of the farmer will
soon be hushed in silence and the ma
chinery will be heard no more until har-
vest comes again.

The Briston's Neck Farmers Club me,
at the residence Of ]. Perry Abel with
i 3 fair attendance The proceedings oil
last meeting were read and approved.
Mr.. Fl. Ewell was elected an honary
member. We hope he may attend the
next meeting. The examining commit
tee reported as follows:
We have viewed the farm and sur
roundings Of j. p. Abel and we find q
good stand of tobacco and corn on the
land and looking well. Barns and on,
houses In good shape. Crop of tobacco
nicely bulked, ready to prize and some
priced. A good crop Of wheat. vege-
tables in garden looking fine. All his
stock in good condition. Poultry fine
and numerous. House and surround
ings neat and comfortable.
Mr.. j. T. Abel took mp the subject
how to make the farm pay. He said in
substance. First, we must apply our
selves to our farm duties; look after our
sheep and see that they are all right:
hogs and stock generally try to get the
best breed that will pay and give them
good attention. Poultry also helps to
pay when proper attention Is paid them.
Pitch your crops as early in the spring
as the season will allow you. See that
Il Is well worked and do not over crop
yourself. Save when at maturity; pre-
pare when it is fit for market. The farm
er can get good prices when his stock Is
fat and poultry nice. There Is always
a good demand for the farmers products
when properly conditioned.
Subject for the next meeting, destruc-
tive insects.
