THE KITSON LIGHT.
1t Meets All Requirements, Both
as to Service and Economy.

IL meets All Requirements, BOLh
as to Service and Economy.
The wonderful Kitson Light is the
latest accomplishment of scientific
research and it is no longer an ex-
pertinent but is a permanent acquisi-
ton and is growing in popular IA
vor daily as its merits become known
and economy of using it is realized,
as compared to the cost of electric
lighting, which it surpasses in brill
liancy-and is always ready.
Mr.. J. J. Street, president of the
Acme Machine Works, is the selling
agent of the Kitson Light for this
city and section, and has already
placed this light in a number of our
business houses, aggregating eighteen
thousand candle power now in SER
vice here and five thousand addition
al contracted for, and more in ex-
pectancy.
Besides business houses, Mr. Street
will in a short while be in a position
to contract for the lighting of resi-
dences.

TRAGEDY At FREMONT.
A MAN SHOOTS HIMSELF UN-
DER PECULIAR CIRCUM-
STANCES.
While Trying to Shoot MI. w. S.
Davis, at Fremont, Policeman
johnson, of That Place, is
Forced to Shoot Himself
Instead.

A shooting affair occurred at Ere
ment on Saturday night, in which
Policeman johnson, of that town,
shot himself while trying to shoot
MIR. w. S. Davis, a farmer, who
lives on his plantation, north of Ere
mont, near the Wilson. county line.
It seems that Davis and Johnson
had some trouble some time ago and
the report had come to Johnson that
Davis had made threats against his
life.
Davis remained away from Ere
mont until Saturday afternoon, and
that night when johnson learned
that Davis was in town he went over
to the bar-room in which Davis was
sitting. AS soon as johnson entered
the door he pulled out his pistol and
began firing. The first shot struck
Davis in the thigh, and he jumped
up and grabbed hold Of the pistol.
Johnson was still trying to shoot
again. In the scufie Davis succeeded
in turning the muzzle of the pistol
toward Johnson, who continued to
pull the trigger and shot himself
through the head.
In order to make certain that
Johnson did shoot himself the crowd
searched Davis as soon as the shoot
idg was done, but no pistol could be
found except the one which johnson
had in his hand.
johnson is seriously wounded and
may not recover Davis is also
wounded, but not very seriously.
Davis probably saved his own life
by turning the pistol toward his an
tagonist. He is a much larger and
stronger man than johnson and had
little difficulty in turning the direc-
ton of the pistol barrel.

HUCKLEBERRY RHYMES.
By J. M. Hollowell, the North Caro-
lima Frank Stanton.

By J. M. HolloWell, the North Caro-
lima Frank Stanton.
The ARGUS man dropped into the
Office of Col. A. G.. Davis and found
him laughing heartily over some
thing he was reading.
Now, it seems that our t~ownsmen,
Messrs. James M. Hollowell and A.
G. Davis, + particularly fond Of
huckleberry pie, and on Christmas
Col. Davis sent to his friend, Mr..
Hollowell, some of the famous Samp-
son blue huckleberries, canned by
Mrs. Davis. Mr.. Hollowell acknowl-
edged the receipt of the huckelberries
in the following huckleberry rhymes.
Our people always like to read the
bright, sparkling, musical poems
from Mr.. Hollowell's pen:
TO MY FRIEND, COL. A. C.
DAVIS.
I have tried the huckleberries,
And found them very fine,
It seems a if age improves them,
Like I've heard it does with wine;
But about the wine improving,
1 am not prepared to speak,
Have never been able to get enough
To last me over week.
Wife says the berries are splendid,
And Pm ure she ought to know,
She came from down in Sampson,
Where the big blues mostly grow.
Now, here's hoping that your pantry,
Among other 'tgrub' supplies,
May alwayshold some Sampson fruit
For huckleberry pies.
Yours very truly,
J. M. HOLLOWELL.

her own children and made the little
one as comfortable as possible. Mr..
Brown is an employe of the Colds
boro Buggy Company. A number
of people have called at his home to-
day to pay their respects to the little
stranger and try to discover some re-
sembIance which would lead to the
Identification OF the mother. The
party who left the child made the
noise to attract attention SO that the
child would not have to stay out in
the cold all night. 1t is a girl
child.
The telephone is indeed a wonder
full invention-and certainly does the
Bell system stand at the head for per-
fiction of equipment and satisfaction
in service. To-day we had occasion
to talk with a business house in New
London, Conn.,, and also in Rich
mond, Va, and the conversation
was as distinct and satisfactory as if
face to face. Mr.. G. B. Miller, who
has charge of the Bell long distance
exchange here, told us to-day that
this company would put in a local
exchange if seventy-five subscribers
could be secured as a starter.
A diversityof cropsis the only sure
road to agricultural success in this
| section. When farmers cease to grow
cotton and tobacco exclusively and
! engage in the cultivation of fruits,
! vegetables, etc., and improve their
! lands by the use of homemade ferti-
lizels, we viii have a prosperous and
happy people. This idea is slowly
but surely getting q hold upon the
agricultural classes in Eastern North
! Carolina. Already trucking is being
engaged in to a considerable extent,
and1s proving a%success. Why solarge
a part of what we eat should be
brought from hundreds Of miles
away when it could be produced
right here at home at a good deal
less cost is a question which is agitat-
ing the minds of many farmers.
The town of Wallace which has re-
Gently subscribed money to build
warehouses and establish a tobacco
market, is now to have a bank to be
known as the Bank of Duplin. A
notice is published in The ARGUS
this afternoon that application will
be made to the next General Assem-
! bly, for a charter for the Bank of Du.
: plin to be located at Wallace, n. c.
j. Mr.. w. E. Borden, the energetic
cashier Of the Bank of Wayne, O
this city, is interested in the new
bank at Wallace which is a guarantee
that the undertaking will prove {
success. About a year ago Mr.. Bor
den identified himself with a banE
at Mt. Olive and through his infu
ence and excellent ability as a finan
cier the Mt. Olive bank has had
prosperous career, with bright pros
poets for the future. What he ha'
done for the bank of Mt. Olive will
be repeated for the Bank of Duplin
Wallace is one of the most prosper

a town which does the volume O

any other location. This is why Peruna
has become SO justly famous in the cure
of catarrhal diseases. It cures catarrh
wherever located. It's cures remain.
Peruna does not palliate; it cures.
Mrs. Frederick Williams, President Of
the South Side Ladies' Aid Society Of
Chicago, ILL.,, writes the following words
of praise for Peruna from 973 Cuyler
avenue, Chicago, ILL.,:
envy home is never without Peruna,
for I have found during the past six
years that there is no remedy that will
at onoe alleviate suffering and actually
cure, as Peruna Ices. -Four bottles COM
pletely cured me of catarrh of the head
of several years standing, and if my
husband feels badly, or either of us catch
cold, we at once take Peruna, and in a
day or two it has thrown the sickness
out of the system."-Mrs. Frederick
