in the act, it is supposed, of stealing a ride
from Missoula to Arlee. The body was
found near the railroad track and Coroner
Hayes was called to investigate the case.
The evidence of accident was so clear that
the coroner ordered the remains buried
without an inquest. The dead man had
some relatives at Arlee, who took charge
of the burial, which was made in the Reser-

IMPROVEMENT TO PROPERTY.
The Excellent Effect of Good Roads ana
Paved .Streets-Enhanctng the value
ofProperty.

Mr.. ]. F. Carroll said yesterday, in
speaking of the section of macadam-
lied road which the county commits
sioners have had constructed on the
Holly Shelter road from the Atlantic
Coast Line crossing to the Smiths
creek iron bridge, that, in his opinion,
the building of such roads throughout
the county would enhance the value of
property at least % per cent. wherever
the roads are constructed. He said,
too, that if the commissioners would
continue the Holly Shelter road ma
cadam to his farm he would be perfect
ly willing to have the tax valuation
of his property increased materially.
During the conversation Mr.. Carroll
also spoke of the increased valuation
which street improvement is already
giving city property. He said that a
hort time before the scheme for paw
ing Princess street with vitrified brick
(now completely was assured he was
on a deal with a property owner on
that street for the purchase of a piece
of property, and the price named, but
after the vitrified brick pavement was
placed and the great improvement to
the locality apparent, he was notified
that the property could not be purchaS-
ed except at a considerable advance in
price.
The views of Mr.. Carroll are con-
CURED in by very nan in fact prac-
tically all the people throughout the
city and county, and the county COM
missioners and board of aldermen of
the city have the hearty endorsement
of every body in their work of building
roads and improving streets. By all
means, let the movement be pushed
without abatement until the city and
county have a net work respectively
of streets and public roads second to
none in the country; then and not I'M
til then, a we hope to enjoy the full
measure of that high degree of pros
perity to which our natural advan-
tages so abundantly entitle US.

MEETING OF PRODUCE EXCHANGE
Resolutions In Memory of the Late
James s. Worth Who Was a Valued
Member of the Exchange.

At a meeting Of the Produce ex-
change held at noon yesterday the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Death has again invaded our ranks
and We are n C more called upon TO
mourn the loss of a beloved member.
The familiar form of James s. Worth
will no more be seen in these rooms.
Possessed of a wonderful capacity
for comprehending all the ~intricacies
of business, with a future full Of hope
and happiness, he was stricken down
before the prime of life. His exceed
ing reserve lac a most manly and
generous nature known only to those
most intimately associated with him.
He lever permitted his right hand TO
know what his left and was doing;
his good deeds We're never published TO
the world, nor were they often men,
him.
"A dutiful son, a loving brother, and
an a~ffectionate husband and father, a
loyal and true friend, all these and
more were his peculiar characteristics.
Wherefore, Resolved, That a page
in our minutes be inscribed to his
memory with his birth and date of
death, and this tribute be recorded in
them, and a o be sent to his family
to whom we tender our warmeSt SYM
pathies.

HAS NO FOUNDATION IN FACT.
General Manager Kenly Denies State
ment Made by Fayetteville Observer
That Removal of Shops is Contem-
plated.

The Messenger is authorized by Gen.
eral Manager J.. r. Kenly, of the At
lantic Coast Line system, to state that
there is no foundation whatever in
fact for the following extract from the
Fayetteville Observer of last Thurs
day:
we earn today, on good authority,
that the Atlantic Coast Line system
is now considering seriously the ad-
visibility of moving its shops, either
from Rocky Mount, Wilmington or
Florence, or from all three, to Fayette-
vile, and making this point the head
shops of the system. h step is rem
dered necessary by the i'll health of
the employees in the places mentioned
and the we'll known healthfulness of
Fayetteville. When the old Cape Fear
and Yadkin Valley shops were moved
from here, We thought it a mistake on
h railroads part, as, besides being
a central point on the system. Fayette-
vile is peculiarly well suited for this
purpose"
The Messenger did not refer to The
Observers article in yesterdays issue
for the reason hat owing to the alb
sence of Mr.. Kenly from the city it
was impossible for an authoritative
statement to be made. And any other
kind of reference could do no good, and
in fact could but MAKE a bad matter
worse.
1t will be we'll to state with reference
to The Observers article that they
"reckoned without their host" not
only in the matter of their being any
movement for the change of the loca-
ton Of any of the A. c. L. shops, but
also with reference to the ell health
of employees in the shops at the pres
ent locations, at least so far as the
Wilmington shops are concerned. VIII
mington challenges the world when it
comes to healthfulness, and the health
of the Atlantic Coast Line shop an
ployees in Wilmington is not surpass-
ed, and scarcely equalled, by n in
the country.

WHITE SUPREMACY CLUBS.
Il. @. Empie, Esq, Appointed Organ
fZer for This County-C1ub Organ
iZerS in Each Township.

B. G. Empie, Esq, has been APP
pointed by the county executive COM
mittee organizer of White Supremacy
club for this county. This is a most
excellent appointment. MI. Empie is
thoroughly qualified for this work and
wiz give it his personal attention. He
has already appointed sub-organizers
in each township and the work Of or
ganizing the clubs all over the coun-
ty will be pushed at once.
In no other way can the organiZa-
ton Of the white vote be made so per-
feet, and we are sure that, with the
assistance of the local leaders, our
county organizer will have this county
thoroughly organized. We hope that
the attendance in the different town
ships will be large and that represen-
tative men will be put in charge Of
this most important work.
During the last campaign these
clubs were a very important factor
and wherever they We're organized
very effective work was one
The purpose of the clubs will be to
see that all voters are registered and
that they attend at the polls and vote
They will also be the means of seeing
that persons not entitled to vote are
challenged, and do general campaign
work.
The club meetings will be addressed
from time to time by our local speak
ers, as well as by speakers from o dis
tance. A large quantity of literature
on the subject of the amendment will
be distributed by the different clubs.
Later on in the campaign it is pro-
posed to hold at the county seat a
meeting Of all the clubs of this county.
whon diSfinO11iSho6 CnoaEorc fra~ q
distance will be present and address
them.
We heartily endorse this work and
urge upon the white people Of the
county the necessity Of joining the
club in their n~eighborhood.

An Assisted Order.

When Mr.. Meddlar tried to use his
telephone, a few days ago, the hello
girl" probably dreaming of her social
triumphs, instead of giving him the
number he called for, connected him
with a line over which a conversation
already ragged. Mr.. Meddlar had lis
tened for only a momen before he dis
covered that the line had a very iras-
chile female at n end of it and a not
overnight grocer's clerk at the other,
and that the lady's order vas being
given somewhat tempestuously. He
therefore decided to facilitate proceed
ings, and the wires began TO heat up
in about this fashion:
Woman'S Voice-And / want a dozen
eggs, a dozen eggs-understand?
Mr.. Meddlar-Yes, mum. Do you
want them fresh, mum?
Woman's Voice-Of course, stupid,
Do you lake US for cheap folks?
Clerks Voice-Yes, num-; a dozen
eggs.
Mr.. Meddlar-Did you say a dozen
or a bushel, num-?
Woman's Voice-A dozen-a Dozen
a dozen, idiot. And l want a bottle Of
pickles. Got that?
Mr.. Meddlar-Yes, mum; a barrel Of
olives.
Clerks Voice-Yes, mum; all right,
mum.
Woman's Voice-No, no, no. Oh.
sugar. A bottle of pickles, 1 said.
Mr.. Meddlar-Oh, yes, mum. Excuse
me-, mum, / was out with the boys last
night an am kinder twisted today.
But you know how + is, mum. A barrel
of sugar, you said? All right, mum.
Woman's Voice-No-o-o-o-o-o, Can't
you hear, you drunken BOBBY? I say a
bottle of pickles.
Mr.. Meddlar-You said sugar, mum.
Woman's Voice / didn't. And if
Clerks Voice-What did say that
last was, mum?
Woman's voice-A bottle-bottle-
bottle of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Mr.. Meddlar-All right, mum: three
bottles of pickles.
Woman's Voice-Oh. you fool, Well,
let it go at that. And / want two quarts
Of vinegar.
Mr.. Meddlar-You don't need it,
mum.
Woman's Voice-What's that?
Mr.. MeddIar-Sugar's what you need
mum, n lots of it.
Woman's Voice-Oh, if 1 only had
you here, you-you-you-
Mr.. Meddlar-That's right. mum
U-U-U-se lots of it.
Woman's Voice Gurgle, Gasp
Choke, Chokei Gasp, Gurgle!
clerk FO1ce-Beg paroon, mum, out

Woman's Voice-You impudent imp.
You tadpole! You shrimp!
Mr.. Meddlar-Fresh or canned, mum?
Woman's voice-Oh, wait till I get
my hands on youi I'm coming round
there this instant. You just wait.
Mr.. Meddlar-All right, num-. How
are all the folks?
Then the phone was furiously rung
off-it sounded to Mr.. Meddlar as IL IL
had been wrung off the wall entirely
and, with a beatifc smile gambling
over his countenance, he resumed his
seat at his desk and began drafting
his report as president OF the local
Christian Endeavorers.

COMMENDABLE PERSISTENCY.
Successful Efforts of Fayetteville
Chamber OF Commerce to Secure
Authorization of Upper Cape Fear
survey.

The Fayetteville chamber Of COM
merce is to be congratulated upon the
success of their persistant efforts 10
secure legislation by congress which
would authorize a preliminary survey
Of the upper Cape Fear for the deep
ening the channel, this provision hav-
ing been held, by lint of hard work,
in the emergency bill which was adop-
ted by house and senate a few days
z The deepening of the river
channel is a project the accomplish
ment of which mean a great deal for
the commercial prosperity OF both
Fayetteville and Wilmington. 1t Will
be remembered that the Wilmington
chamber of several months
ago, by a special resolution, declared
their hearty endorsement Of the pro-
ject. The following extract from the
Fayetteville Observer will convey an
idea of the c~ommendable persistency
with which the Fayetteville chamber
Of worked for the authori-
cation of the preliminary survey:
Our chamber Of commerce, with a
view Of getting an Appropriation from
congress to secure us a depth OF sew
era1 feet of water the year round in
our splendid river, has had, with the
assistance of Representative Thomas,
a bill before congress providing for a
preliminary surve Of the river. n
bill was incorporated into what is
known as the emergency bill"
which went through the house last
week with this survey left out. This
fact coming to the knowledge of the
directors, and appearing that it
meant delay of over two years in the
work if left so, they, thought their sec
rotary, kept the mails busy and the
wires hot trying to get the survey re-
stored in the bill. Yesterday the graf
flying news was received by telegram
h the senate had passed the bill
with our survey restored in ut. And
today the secretary had a telegram
saying that our friends, including
Senator Butler, were working with
| excellent chances to get this survey
restored to the house bill. Should
this be done it means a great deal for
Fayetteville.
The following written yesterday ex-
plains itself:
IF. r. Rose, Esq.
MY Dear Sir:-Congress adjourns
today. Have held upper Cape Fear
survey in the emergency bill. and con
ference report has been adopted. IL
signed by the president it is a law.

VERY SUCCESSFUL PICNIC.
Leland Correspondent Compliments
Prof. Massey's Speech-He
of Agricultural Matters.

A correspondent of The Messenger
writing from Leland, says thas the
picnic there last Wednesday was a
success in every way. About 300 peo-
pde were in attendance and quite a
good number of Wilmington people
were there; the exercises commenced
about 1920 o'clock and lasted until
about 1870 o'clock. Then a recess was
taken for dinner, which every one
seemed TO enjoy very much. When
dinner was over Professor w. F. Mas
sey was introduced by Mr.. F. NJ.
Moore, Professor Massey is an eloquent
speaker n held his audience for m
and a half hours, after which the farm
erS began to talk and ask him ques-
lions. The professor good naturedly
batted with them and answered all
questions asked him about farming in
this section. He makes II very plain TO
use that our lands are well adapted to
gardening and raising early truck
crops and in connection with this he
says we can raise cattle for beef az
cheap or cheaper than h western
farmers can. Those who missed hear
ing Professor Massey's address GER
tainly missed something worth hear
ing. I understand that an effort will
be made to have a farmers institute
held at Town Creek in Brunswick
ty some time during the summer
In the afternoon the school exercises
were completed after which the young
people retired 10 the depot where mu-
sic was furnished by the Italian band
and enjoyed themselves hugely, In fact,
every one that We heard express them
selves said they had spent a very pleas
ant day indeed.
Miss Hyacinth Peterson, who has
been in charge Of the Leland school
since the first OF January, was COM
plimented by every one. She Is a
teacher of considerable experience
and a young lady of fine accomplish
ments, and the children advanced very
rapidly under her instruction. Every
one in the community will be sorry
when she is gone.
The Leland school will, tx nothing
happens to prevent, p again n
first OF September and continue for
! months.
