nine innings of listless playing by a

Speaking of Rev. Sam Small and his
drunk in Brattleboro, it may be inter
esting to note that an old resident of
Brattleboro claims that some 80 odd
wears ago, when John B. Cough, the
great temperance orator, came here to
lecture, he too got jag of greater or
less dimensions. Another great reform
er, this one a woman Harriet Mar
tineau, also succumbed to the wiles of
prohibition some GO years ago. Per
haps the Rev. Sam should not be cen
sured so much after all 1t is in the
prohibition air. A man always wants
what he thinks he cannot get.

special grand jury act and the biennial
session law are excellent. Law abiding
people are beginning to doubt the ad-

long a period between crime and its

goes through announcement of this will
be made. The establishment Of the

making it the medical centre of the State.
There is no lack of enthusiasm here for
the college and the interest being mani
tested by the Raleigh people is very
gratifying. The University has asked
for no Inducements from our citizens;
no large sum or tract of land has been

here its graduating medical department..
Raleigh was selected because it was the
logical place of all the cities in North
Carolina and the University trustees
simply chose our city because geograp-
lcally, educationally, socially, and scien-
tiically it presented the greatest advan-
tages. This was a genuine compliment
for Raleigh and the people are not slow
to appreciate it. The University is look
ing to all our citizens for encourage
ment, interest and support in every way
possible to make the Medical College a
success. The outlook is promising, and
by September the new department should
be so we'll advertised that its success
Will be assured from the beginning. 1t
is high time that North Carolina set
about educating its own sons in medicine
within its own borders. We have the
material, the facilities and now the OPP

University and the Medical College here

High Point, n. c., April ia phone
message was received here early this
morning telling of another visitation by
fire in our neighboring town-ThomasviIle
last night about II o'clock. It is the
general verdict as has been the case in
some of the recent fires there that it was
the work of an ~incendiary. The tele-
phone wires leading to this place were
burned, hence no account by phone could
be had last night.
The fire began in Raymond Edmond
sons barber shop or in close proximity
to 1t. This place of business, together
with Suggs' shoe shop, Grimes store and
the Thomasville Drug Co.'S building
insured for 500; Suggs' shoe shop $500;
Thomasville Drug Co., about one-half
value of stock; Grimes store also a
some Insurance.. 1t looks as if the town
of ThOmasville is to be wiped off the
map by fires, so numerous have they
been in the past six months.
Mrs. J. F. Reitzel, whose critical Ill
ness was mentioned in this correspon-
dence, died this morning at five o'clock.
Her death is especially sad. Only a
few months ago she was happily married
here. She leaves q devoted husband who
was with her during her illness.
Many are the expressions of sorrow in
deed it is universal for the bereaved hus-
band and family. Mrs. Reitzel's home is

visit to her mothers family. The fun
eral services will be conducted from the
