A MEMENTO FOR Upton.


New York Aug. 31.-The initial
step towards the presentation to Sir
Thomas Upton of momento from
the American people, probably in
the form Of a silver service, was TAX
en- to-day when the following resolu-
ton was adopted at a meeting held
at the Waldorf:
''Tae undersigned committee NAM
ed to arrange memento for Sir
Thomas Upton feel assured that they
represent a universal sentiment of
appreciation among all classes of
Americans who love sport and ad-
mire sportsman, and, acting upon
this assurance, they suggest to the
general public a popular subscrip-
ton to meet the end in view. The
Western National Bank of New
York, has consented to receive SUBJ
scription. 1t is desired that these be
national in character, since there is
no State or section where the pluck,
liberality and good temper of our
late antagonist, ever our friend and
now our guest, have not won all
hearts.

MAKES IN ASSIGNMENT
TO MIR. JNO. w. AYCOCK, OF
FREMONT, NORTH
CAROLINA.
Ex-Sheriff B. F. Scott, of Pikeville,
n. c., Was in the City To-
Day and Turned Over
All His Possessions
For the Bene-
fit of His
Creditors.

Ex-Sheriff B. F. Scott, who re-
tired from Office last December,
made an assignment to-day to Mr..
Jno. w. Aycock, Of Fremont, as
trustee for his bondsmen and all
creditors, without preference and
without reservation. He names in
the deed of assignment all the real
estate of which he is now posed, to-
gether with all money on hand and
all personal property of whatever
nature. The trustee is to turn all the
property into money and apply the
same to the payment of all debts
which may be presented.
The State of North Carolina, it Is
understood, has the biggest claim,
which will amount to something
like $4,000. This is due from back
taxes, which have not been settled
for. He names the county of Wayne
and the public school fund in the
deed of assignment, but it is said
that this will amount to very little.
Mr.. t. E. Yelverton, of Fremont,
holds a mortgage on the real estate
for $1,000, which is well secured.
The total amount Of the ex-sheriff's
Indebtedness will amount to some
thing near $4,000. He names several
open accounts af follows: Yelverton
Bros, of Fremont, $517.O0; Smith
& Yelverto on, of Goldsboro, $92. 80;
j. P. Smith & Son, of Pikeviile,
$325.O0; w. r. & J. t. Hooks, OF
Fremont, $4,000; Geo. D. Best, of
Fremont, $4,000; Masonic Lodge,
of Pikeville, $4,000.

FEVER.

IN
Hyomei-Stops Sneezing and
Smarting.
J. II. Hill & Son are recommend
ing to their customers, as cure for
bay fever, Hyomei.
1t is claimed for this remedy that
it stops the spansmodic paroxysms
of sneezing, the smarting and run
ming Of the eyes and nose, and other
acute symptoms of this disease.
Many persons have been cured of
Hay fever by Hyomei and its in
ventors profess ia be able to prevent
both the occurrence of the annual at
tacks and to arrest the progress of
the disease when in the most chronic
form.
Among those who have been cured
by Hyomei are J. F. Forbes, chief
dispatcher B. & M. r. R., McCook,
Neb., who writes: "I have never had
relief from any remedy for hay fever
even temporarily, until used Hyo-
mei. I will alwayo recommend il
whenever occasion offers"
A. Hamlin, Westford, Mass,
writes, "Hyomei cured me of hay
fever in one weeks time. I consider
/ it duty to tell others who suffer
| from this disease"
These endorsements are samples o.
hundreds that have been received by
the manufacturers of Hyomei, bu
| J. H. Hill & Son offer to refund the
money if Hyomei does not do al
that is claimed for it, is the strong
est proof that can be offered as to th'
reliance they place upon Hyomei tt

Richmond, Va, August 31.-Her-
bert B. Bates, son of city engineer,
Frank T. Bates, this morning shot
and killed Miss Rena Gentry, at her
home, 1920 East Broad street, and
then killed himself with the same
weapon which he used in killing
Miss Gentry.
That the shooting was the act of a
man who had suddely lost his reason
no one who knew the young man
doubts. The shooting took place in
the front parlor of Mrs. Gentry's
home, no one being in the room save
the two young people.
MIR. Bates and Miss Gentry had
been regarded as lovers since they
were small children, the young man
being madIy infatuated with the
young lady.
1t is not believed that she return
ed his love, though she had high re-
gard for him as a friend. He ac-
companied Miss Gentry to church
last night, returning home with her
and lady friend of hers, and ap-
peared in the best of humor, re-
naming at the home of Miss Gentry
for short while, and then going to
his own home, two squares further
east in Broad street.
Mr.. Bates was in his oath year.
His father and mother are away
from the city. He arose this morn
ing about o'clock and left the
house. He was little detected, but
said as he went out of the front door
to member of the family:
"I'n see you later"
Instead of going to the place at
which he took his meals, he boarded
a car and went down town, and it is
supposed that he procured the pistol
and then went back to the home OF
Miss Gentry. He appeared there
about o'clock, and was admitted
to the house. Miss Gentry met him
at the door. and they entered the
parlor. He had been there about fif-
teen minutes when the members OF
the family were startled by two pis-
tol shots in rapid succession. They al
once rushed to the parlor door, which
was open. They found the room
filled with smoke and the smell o1
powder filling the house. On the
floor, possibly three feet apart, lay
the two bodies. Miss Gentry was
dead when seen, the shot having
been instantly fatal. Mr.. Bates was
in the throes of death when the
room was entered. He lived possibly
three minutes after inhicting the
wound on himself.
Miss Gentry was in her 22nd yea
and was one of the best known anC
most lovable young women in th'
city. She was member of Uniol
Station Methodist church and al
earnest church-worker. She was O
gentle disposition and her parent
almost worshiped her.
Mr.. Bates had never known tn
taste of liquor or tobacco and neve
used profane word.
Young Bates was note clerk at tn
First National Bank and an examin
alton of his books this mornin
showed his accounts to be correct t
a cent, never having been found in
correct since his service with tn
: bank. He was model clerk in ever
) way.

OVER 1000 PUPILS
Receiving Instruction in City Schools
500 at Central building.

Eight hundred pupils are now en-
rolled at the central school building Of
the city. 1t is not known yet what
the enrolment is at Marilla, Wiles
Hill, Seneca and colored schools.
It is safe to estimate, however, that
there are at least a thousand pupils
receiving instruction.
The number at the High school
building is larger than ever before.
The total number Of pupils in the city
is greater by $50 or 200 than ever be-
fore.
Every effort has been made to ac-
eomodate the children, and while
there is not much room left, the pa.
pills are comfortably seated and there
is no danger Of overcrowding.
Only about 20 pupils have taken
advantage of the new Marilla school
building. Many of them show a de-
cided preference for coming to town.
The building was secured after con-
siderable work and money. 1t is a
pleasant room, sanitary and convent
emit, and one of the very brightest
teachers in the State has been assigned
TO it. Parepts should be glad of an
opportunity to send their children to
school so close home.

Milwaukee, Sept 10.-The Journal
says:
The slogan for what promises to be
one of the biggest contentious in which
organized labor has been engaged, one
with the Catholic church, has bee
sounded by Father NJ ]. Ward, of
Beloit, Wis, who has declared that
neither he nor any other priest of the
Roman Catholic faith will give abso-
luton to those who have taken the
oath of the International Topographic
cal union. The oath of this union re-.
quires that the members allegiance
to his union shall have priority over
every obligation. religious or other
wise
Father A. + schinner, administra-
tor of the archdiocese. said that Father
Ward was altogether justified in MAX
ing such a statement and that he
would himself say the same thing.
Father Schinner's name is included
in the list forwarded to the pope for a
successor to the late Archbishop F. X
