SPRING HOPE.
NEWSY LETTER FROM OUR
REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
Especial to VirginIan- Pilot)


/ Spring Hope N. c.. Sept. 1S.-The
iong and continuous dry spell was
broken with nice showers Saturday.
owing to the exceedingly dry wealth
er tanners are very blue over their
short crops, but are jubiiant over the
fact that they are realizing from 1917 10
IL cents on cotton. This is very en-
coura5 ing to the farmers after having
had to make II Tor less for several
years rast.
richardson & Hall is quite an improve
ment. It's average ginning capacity
being from 40 OF so laies per day. or
one bale every 10 minutes.
There Will be an excursion run from
this place to Norfolk September the
2 tn. which we think will be very lib
orally patronlZed.
AS usual there has been very little
sickness IN our little town during the
past summer there being only Two or
three cases of fever reported AS to
health we boast in saying. with but
few exceptions. This rivals any town in
the State.
There is but little said of politics at
this time in this pa. but our people
are ana will lie all J. Int for mir. Bryan
at the time of reckoning.
The NEST important and necessary
enterprise now needed here is Il news
paper. a man with an ordinary
amount o. push and hustle. aud who is
lanllllar win the newspaper bus ness,
might with all ease succeed we'll here
in this cal ;city.
Why not? Here is a town with 1000
or Loo people, many of whom are en-
tcrprisinS merchants, ana who want n
good home paper, not for the news
alone. but for the advertising columns,
which would be so essential to their
business. We hoie some one will be
interested ana look into the matter.
The tobacco market here seems to be
q little dull for the last few days,
owing to the fact that the most OF the
farmers are trying to save fodder and
cotton.
Rev. Mr.. Swlndell. of Goldsboro, n.
c., will preach to the people here
Thursday night in the Methodist
Church, explaining as near as consist
ent the good of Odd Fellowship.
Services will he held by Rev. l.. NJ
Joyner in the Methodist Church every
first Sunday and Sunday night. and
fourth Sunday and Sunday night. There
Mil be services in the Baptist Church
every second Sunday and night, also
third Sunday and night by the pastor
Rev. II. T.. Hocutt.
Rev. Mr.. Hocutt preached very ably

wound. after which they took his pis-

good his escape by throwing n blanket
up TO the spikes on top of the outside
wall and climbing up on it. but Mr.
Leary had regained his senses by this
time. and having convenient a bar of

soon brought his man to the ground

SPECIAL EXAMINER
Tn the City Looking After Ex Slave
 Pension Frauds.

A special agent of the government is in the city today looking after ex slave pension frauds which have been perpetrated upon the ignorant negroes Of this section for many years past at different intervals.
 This scheme is generally worked by some negro who is more shrewd than ,the average negro, and con- sists of forming organizations and charging mem bership fee, and mont thly dues. after winch the de luded mem bers are given certifi- cate which purports to entitle them to a pension from the federal gov. ernment for having been slaves.
 This scheme has been worked with more or less success all over the South, add the ignorant negres have been defrauded out of many dollars by the slick swindlers.

STEAMER HALLETTE
Failed Out of the Trade by Marine
 Inspectors.

The steamer Hallette, which is owned by Pine Bluff stock conpa- ny, and was recently leased by a Memphis firm to ply between Mem phis and Pine Bluff, was tied up by the inspectors upon arriving at Memphis after her first trip under the new management.
 The vessel was boarded and in- spected, after which the inspect ors pronounced her unseaworthy and refused to let her clear for this point.
 Finally the inspectors agreed for Capt. Thompson to make one more round trip with the steamer, but as she was preparing to receive the cargo the officials notified the crew not to leave the wharf with the boat.
 1t is estimated by steamboat, t, man who is familiar with the condi- ton of the Hallette that the least possible expense for her repairing will be S900, and if it is necessary to put her on fbe ways, the cost will aggregate $2,o0O.
 Arrangements are being made to have another boat take the place ot the Hallette, leaving Memphis foI this point next Saturday.

 UNUSUAL ORDER
Issued by Circuit Judge A. B, Grace
 Today.

Judge A. B. Grace this morning in the case of John c. Wages vs. the Bluff City Lumber Go. issued rather an unusual order.
 The plaintiff is suing the company for damages, claiming that in last January he fell through trap door while working for the defendant company aud received permanent injuries. He claims that the acci- dent was due to the neglfgerce of the company.
 This morning the attorneys for toe Bluff City Lumber Co asked the court to have Wages undergo a physical examinatio by competent physicians, that they might be in a position to testify In the trial to- morrow whether his injuries are permanent.
 While this is rather an unusual proceeding, and was probably never before doEe in the Jefferson circuit court, Judge Grace issued the order and an examination is being held this afternoon.

An Ancient Belief.

The ancients believed that rheu- matism was the work of q demon within a man. Any one who has had an attack of seiatic or inham- matory rheumatism will agree that the infiiction is demoniac enough 10 warrant the belief. It has never been claimed that Chamberlain E Pam Balm would cast out demons, but it will euse rheuma tism, and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement.
