TRUCKERS TO ORGANIZE
WILL FORM AN ASSOCIATION HERE DUR
ING FAIR WEEK.
Steps Taken TO interest The Leading Fruit and
Truck Men of the State in the
Movement.

Mr.. j. Bryan Grimes, member of the
State Board of Agriculture and Presi
dent of the Washington Farmers anC
Truckers Association, writes to Com
missioner Patterson to suggest that q
general meeting of the fruit and truck
growers of the State be held in Raleigh
during Fair week to organize per
manent association. He has Informal.
ton, he says, that the largest associa.
ton of such interests, The Eastern
Carolina Fruit Growers Association
shows signs of disintegration and is OF
the opinion that a larger organization
and more cordial cooperation is~neces-
sary.
Mr.. Grimes continues: 1.-THE adyan-
tages to be derived from such an or
ganization are obvious. Much Of the
North Carolina truck is put up in o
careless, hap hazard way that causes
North Carolina brands to be quoted be-
low those of South Carolina and Vir-
gina.
We could combine for mutual informa-
ton, protection and profit We would
secure better and quicker transporta-
ton, improve the schedules, ex-
press and special service trains, lower
freight rates, &c.
Eve could secure daily reports OF
weather and frost signals, information
as to acreage area. condition, advance
ment, volume and movement of crops
avoiding gluts, &c. We could require in
spection of stock, establish standard
goods, encourage local cash buyers and
protect them and the farmers and conn
mission men by inspection. We could
exact square dealing from commission
men, boycotting those whom we know
to be swindlers and establish general
medium of exchange and intelligence
Commissioner Patterson will issue a
circular letter to principal fruit and
truck growers, in accordance with this
suggestion. Among those who are ex-
pected to join in this movement are:
j. A. Brown, of Chadbourn.
J. A. Westbrook, of Mt Olive.
J.. W. Granger, of Kinston.
Nath Dawson, of Conetoe.

SUIT AGAINST BERNARD.
Sheppard Follows Up His Bullet with a
Summons to Appear.

Summons to Appear.
Suit has been brought by s. g. Shep-
parG, of Greenyille, against G.. M Ber-
rard, district attorney. The summons
was served ON Bernard yesterday, citing
him to appear at Pitt Sperior Court ON
September 18th, next Monday week.
MIR. Sheppard, it will be remembered, is
the man who shot at Bernard last SIT
urday night September y. charging
him with having ruined his CSheppard'sD
home. The exact nature of the suit
brought by him is not known here, che

While engaged in this delightful pas

Barnes, 122 n. G.. 1881, 1883.
This case was sent up ON appeal from
the Superior court of Mash county in
1897. 1t was an indictment against J.
b. Barnes, a man of property, for as
sault upon Cora Marlboro, a girl living
at his home, with intent to commit
rape. Bernard was the solicitor at this
time and therefore drew the bill of in
dictment. In doing so he omitted the
words with INTENT" for the purpose,
some Thought, of letting BARNES our.
Though the Supreme Court did not
think this omission sufficient ground
fer arrest of Judgment it took occasion
in saying so to give the incompetent
solicitor who drew the bill the following
deserved raking:
1T is passing strange that amy prose
cutting officer should by negligence or
lnadveftence depart, especially in so inn
p0rtant a case, from the forms so long
used, and rum the risk of a grave mis-
carriage of justice and the throwing
a heavy bill of cost upon the public by
such caleieSsness. The accustomed and
approved forms are accessible and
should be followed by solicitors, till las
with murder, perjury and in some other
instances they are modified and simpli-
fed by statute The Code, section L.
1873 was enacted to prevent mlscarriages
of justice, but mot ito encourage prose
cutting officers to try experiments with
new forms, or to excuse them from

use, or by statute. The object of the
statute I'M disregarding refinements and

A TIMELY SUGGESTION
TO PROSPECTIVE
CARPET BUYERS.

Only few more days remain in which to
buy carpets at the present prices, The mills
have already given notice to the trade of ad-
vance, and we will Sc compelled to follow suit
when cur present stock is exhausted.
This has been our most successful carpet
season. Why? Because Our carpets were
bought by an experienced carpet buyer, who
knows how to buy carpets, consequently we
have been able to show better goods, more Sc
lect patterns for less money than any other
house IN town can show.
If you are thinking Of buying carpet this
winter, come and buy from Us now, and we
will make and lay them free of charge when
you wish them.

competent. brave and popular with
officers and men alike. To a I'rib-
une reporter he said: 1--WE tried to
do our duty and believe we did it.
The First North Dakota regiment is
willing to stand by it's record. It was
hard work in II hard climate. The
neat is intense ut seasons, and some Of
our campaigns were as difficult as
were engaged in on the island. Com
pany A did itself proud. The regi-
ment did the same. But we are glad
to get home There is no place like
North Dakota"
Lieutenant Mclean was not able to
come home with the regiment. An
injury which he received in the hard
march on one of Lawton's campaigns
necessitated an operation at San
francisco and he will lie in the hos
pital there for several weeks vet.
mere are good words on all hands for
Lieutenant BILL One of the Com
pany IL officers said: '.Don't forgot
tAat there were no better lieutneants
on the island than Mclean. He was
willing, faithful and Il hard worker
popular with officers and men. His
record In the Lawton campaign. when
ne acted as quartermaster, is one that
rev volunteer officers have excelled
lie stands we'll with Lawton and is
nm honor to the regiment from Which
he comes." And this sentiment ;s
freely echoed.
speaking OF Captain Moffet Captain
Eddy said: ''MOffet is n fine otticer
and rustler. believe that we owe
1t to him that we got away from
Manila as soon as we did. lie was
well acquainted with the officers who
We're In command of things and did
not hesitate to record his opin-
IONS with them when the good of the
regiment was concerned. We own
MIN much for things ACCOMPLISHED
that were of benefit to us. and we ,,n-
preciate it." ~
And for Major White-well there is
not man in the regiment but would
follow him through thick and thin.
On one occasion when the Major and
| an escort went ahead of the lines to
treat with q supposed party bearing
flag Of truce, he was fired upon by
| the treacherous natives. When he
| saw there was danger of an ambus-
cade he sent the men back and at the
first shot dropped fiat on his face.
One Of the officers in speaking of the
incident said: ''We all thought the
major had been hit, and l tell you It
was almost impossible to keep the
men from dashing over the trenches
III defiance of orders and endeavoring
TO wreak vengeance on the treacher-
GUS niggers. Not until it was found
that White was not injured was quiet
restored. White stood, l think. with.
out question. as the best volunteer
officer on the island.'

RECORD OF REGIMENT
North Dakotans Were Among the Best
Volunteer Regiments in the
Service.

The North Dakota regiment. or
properly speaking the two battalions
of the North Dakota volunteer troops,
were in the Philippine islands year
to a day. They arrived there July
81 and departed July 81 a year later.
The chronology of the regiment is as
follows:
Mustered in at Camp Briggs May II.
Went into camp at San francisco
June 9.
Sailed from San Francisco on the
transport Valencia June %.
Arrived at Manila July 81.
Sailed from Manila in the transport
Grant July 81.
arrived IN San Francisco August 20
Mustered out Of service September
Started for home September 26.
Arrived home October 1.
The regiment participated in 81 en-
gagements and the battle flag has
thirty-seven silver rings, each earned
III an engagement That is the total
number of engagements participated
In by both battalions. AS the regi-
ment was frequently split up, neither
battalion participated in so many en-
gagements alone. The majority of
the Company A boys have nineteen
or twenty engagements listed on thei,
discharges.
And it is interesting to hear them
tell of those engagements. OF "hik-
ing" a certain number of miles in the
hot sun and then a scrimmage with
the niggers. The boys give the Fiji.
pinos credit for courage. but saw the
natives are not accustomed to the
American style of fighting. The
long range shooting of the Spaniards
from trenches does not prepare them
for the charges of the American SOL
diers, the fierce onset of the bows in
blue and the inevitable fight az the
forces OF Aguinaldo. There were
many gruesome scenes in the fighting,
as Well as many pleasanter memories
IN some places the number of Fill
plno dead was great and the bodies
were tumbled into their own trenches

feet and extremities could be seen

INCIDENTS OF RETURN.
Officers and Men in Good Health and
all Anxious to Reach Home
Again.

The soldiers Travelled by special
trains in two sections from San Fran
cisco to Mandan. At the latter, after
the Dickinson company had left the
train. the two specials We're consoli-
dated and run as one train of fifteen
cars. Companies A., X, D. and H oc-
cupied the first section as far Mandan.
Companies B, l, G and G occupied the
second section, which ran only a few
minutes. behind the first. The field
officers, including Majors White and
Frame and the officers of the COM
panies that it carried, Travelled on the
second section. On the first section
were Captains Moffet and Eddy,
Lieutenants Newcomer and Gorsuch
Of Company A, and Lieutenants Bald
win and Proctor of Company Fl, and
Lieutenants Pray and Mattison.
Captain and Mrs. Moffet met for the
first time since the captain left for
Manila in June year ago, at Dick
insOn. The meeting was an affecting
one, in which no one intruded until
the first glad greetings were eX-
changed. The children accompanied
Mrs. Moffet. and the sight Of them
was sanOther treat to Captain Moffet,
particularly as the youngest child, less
than year old when he left, seemed
to recognize him, and was willing to
play the part Of dutiful daughter.
Lieutnenant Baldwin went from
Jamestown to San Francisco to be
mustered out with the regiment He
is still suffering from the effects of
a Filipino bullet and walks with a
decided limp and supported by a cane.
The ball with which he was wounded
was o Spanish Remington, bullet
approaching the size Of Springfield
and brass covered. Particularly for
tunate is it that the results Of the
wound We're no worse, and that he
escaped without the loss of limb
Lieutenant Proctor was in the hos
pital for some time Mt San Fran
cisco, having been worn out and in
need of rest. He looks much i'm
proved now. and has gained in flesh
appreciably since arriving there.
Lieutenant Newcomer appears not
to have changed a particle. Every

he was known before enlistment and
Is still. He made a thorough officer
