till stood on the very spot, marked by
a stone where Warren fell. The people
of Massachusetts have erected mon.

this occasion. and Webster, her greatess
statesman, in laying the corner stone

speeches. We see pictures of the battle

of the battle of Guilford Court House,
Alamance and Kings Mountain? There
is picture of every battle ever fought
in Massachusetts, and a monument or
stone to mark every deed done by her
soldiers.
We do not blame Massachusetts for
telling her story and telling it we'll, but
we do blame our own people for not
telling ours as well.
Mr. Aliens little book of forty five
beautiful stories. telling the heroic deeds
of our people in simple childlike way
with nice, large, attractive type on good
paper is long step in the right direc-
ton. 1t should be used in every city or

The public schools in nearly all the

the strongest book that Miss Jewett has
yet written. 1T is story OF the ReVolu-
ton, and the stirring scenes and power
full passions OF the time give it highly
dramatic character. Paul Jones figures
picturesquely in 1t, and the exploits OF
his Ranger on the seacoast Of England
lend a vivid light to it. The spirit of the
epoch is finely reproduced, and the Tory
lover, Roger Wallingford, who became a
patriot for love OF Mary Hamilton, is
notle character, while Mary Hamilton

THE CUMBERLAND DIsPENsARY.
w. C. Holland Writes a Sketch Of How 1t
Worked.

To the Editor: how that the Cumber-
land county dispensary has gone out OF
existence and it's affairs are finally set
tied. / thought a short sketch from
purely business standpoint might be or
interest to the general public, and GER
tainly to our own people who are not as
we'll informed as they should be. no re-
port of final results having been publish
ed. Settlement was delayed sometime
after the dispensary quit business until
an expert accountant could go over the
books and. check up every item, when
work has been completed and everything
found correct.
The Cumberland county dispensary as
authorized by act of the legislature, be-
gan business July l, 1897, and went out
of existence, also by act of the leglsla-
ture. July /, 1901. The original bill pro-
vided for board of managers, consisting
of three members whose names We're
mentioned in the bill, their successors TO
be elected annually by the County Com
missionerS, the mayor and board or audit
and finance of the city, in joint session
for this purpose. The number was in
creased to five by special act of the last
legislature the names of the two addi-
tional members being mentioned in the
bill.
The Legislature fixed the compensation
for members of dispensary board at one
per cent each of net proceeds-their duties
being defined in the act. one OF which
was to select a business manager. I'M
mediately after organizing, the board
elected Mr.. ]. W. Ingold to this position
and that their choice was wise one is
attested by the fact that while the COM
position of the dispensary board changed
from time to time the same business
manager was reelected each year almost
without opposition.
The dispensary started in business
without dollar of capital Neither was
the credit of the county nor of the city
of Fayetteville involved, because of the
protests of some few citizens. The bust
ness manager, Mr.. 1ngold, having good
commercial rating assumed the respon-
Sibility of stocking the establishment, Sc
great was his faith in the undertaking
and success was assured from the star.
Following is the result OF the business
as it appears on the books and now re-
corded at the court house and in accord
ance with which final settlement was
made:

Lame Apology.

The columbia" foot ball team of
Dubois met the "Indians" OF Reynolds
vile on the gridron at this place last
Friday afternoon and we're badly defeat
ed. The Dubois papers played the baby
act by poutlng and refusing even to
mention the fact that team from that
town played here, they ignored IL en-
tirely. Had the columbia" team won
the game there would have been at
least a half column wrlte-up In one of
the three papers. The game passed of
nicely and the visitors were used like
gentlemen, hence there was nothing for
the papers to kick about and they
mentioned the game not at all. Yester-
day one OF the papers, because the edl-
tors attention had been called TO the
omission by some Reynodsville people,
offered very lame excuse for not men
tioniug the game. This same paper
would have found space for glaring head
lines and hall column write-up had the
victory been to the other team.

Double Tragedy at Dubois.

A double tragedy occurred at Dubois
Monday night as result Of domestic
troubles. John Bennett murdered his
wife and then committed suicide. Ben
nett and his wife separated a week ago
after quareling and Bennett disappear
ed, returning Monday. From Dubois
Courier of yesterday morning we clip
the following:
Bennett went to j. w. Kings,
whore his wife was staying, and called
her out about 10 o'clock last night,
which was the second visit he had made
to her since noon. She stepped out in
to the front yard and few moments
later the inmates OF the house heard
two shots fired in rapid succession.
They ran out and found both lying on
the ground, each with bullet hole in
forehead, and 32-calibre revolver ly-
ing smoking beside the body of Ben
nett"
