soon caught at his old home near Rocky

produce him and he is still at large.
Many other killings have taken place
in Wake county in the past thirty years.
The trial of James j. Boyle. the Catho-
lie Priest, would not come under the
head of Wake county murders, but as
crime of an awful nature it would bear
the headlines of Justice Cheated" in the
opinion of the writer.

Will Work Candidates.

In Lee County the farmers have
a most unique organization, the
purpose of which is to make the
candidates pay in hard labor for
the support pledges they recieYe.
AT a mass meeting o. the farmers
recently held in that county the
following remarkable resolutions
were adopted:
"Resolved, That we purchase a
supply OF hoes TO be used by the
candidates in this campaign, and
be it
"Resolved, That when a district
candidate appears on a farm we
are to require him to hoe two
rounds of 400 yards each, and be it
Resolved, That all county
candidates be required to hoe ten
rounds of 400 yards each, and be
further
Resolved, That State candi-
dates who canvass In buggies be
given a double dose of work in the
manner above outlined"
BY this method the Lee County
farmers hope to make up for the
valuable time they lose each cam
year in talking to candidates

Sunshine and Shadows.

Sometime the branch of hope

one lone semblence Of a star to
shine along the desert waste of
life, and all that is bright and
hopeful is gone. We feel that
every wave that is dashed up from
the great depths of agony and
despair will drift us out over that
shoreless sea, on which the star of
hope never shines, butfrom every
victory that We press forward to
on life's great battlefield; from
every deed of love and kindness
that our hands and hearts have
done there is a CLEAN of light
gathered by the angels, and after
awhile it will return to us like
bread cast upon the waters. After
a while the full, bright foods of
