Frank P. Brooks, a painter, 81 Pig.

cred a method for vaccinating trees to
prevent their destruction by caterpil-
lars and insects. People In that vicinity
are alarmed about the return of tent
caterpillars that did so much damage
to shade trees and groves last year.
Brooks claims that within two days
after a tree trunk Is vaccinated with
his preparation the fluid will circulate
through the entire tree, killing any cat
erpillar or insect that may be on the
most remote limb without injuring the
tree in any way. Scientists laugh at
his claims, saying that his vaccinating
system is ridiculous.

living son of the late Governor Thomas
Nj. Holt, and his force of mind and
strength was of no sinconsiderable aid

time, and after his death became the
central figure of Haw River. He was
president OF the r. NJ. Holt Manufact-
uring Company, and was connected
with the Cora Manufacturing Company
and numerous other industrial enter
prises. He was an affabe, kindhearted
gentleman, whose kindness and gener-
osity, and many amiable qualities made
for him hosts of friends. He was n
man of worth and dignity, whose bust
ness sagacity was of the highest, and
whose judgment was considered very
safe. He exhibited prudence and care
in making his investments, and he was
considered n very safe, man. In bust
ness. politics and religion, he was by
nature conservative.
TO his wife, the daughter of ex-Gov-
ernor Jones, of Alabama. he was Il de-

the relations of life. AS n citizen and
friend he was true and trustworthy of

Lumber Company, of 1<inston, has been
incorporated with paid in capital of
$4,000; authorized capital. $4,000. The
purpose is TO conduct a wholesale lum-
Der business.
The Free Press of to-day says:
About two years ago a police census
of Kinston showed 4,076 population.
The government census taken last May
shows only 4,106. We believe the po-
lice census was correct and that the
town has grown at least 1000 since ii
was taken. We believe Kinston now
has over 5000 people. We have no idea
that any of our population was inten-
tionally left out of the enumeration,
but we have been informed of some
who were left out and think that quite
a number were overlooked. Another
police census of Kinston ought to be
taken"

there is nothing to do.

action of the conference i'll taking him
off as presiding elder of the Durham
district and assigned as assistant pas
tor of Main Street church, is the cause
of no little talk. especially among the
Methodists of Durham. The Herald
adds:
"Why this was done will probably
never be known. but many believe that
it was done by the bishop TO rcbuke
him for introducing the resolutions en-
