Wichita has one DOCTOR who. IN
like many physicians. is kind-hearted and
conscientious. In fact, he is too con-
sc.entious and too consi0erate of his pa
tients welfare TO attain true success in
his chosen profession. If he doesn't
watch out, his fellow doctors will bring
disbarment proceedings against him. for
he has recently discovered and published
TO the world sure cure for all dis
eases and is knocking both the doctors
and the undertakes out OF their jobs.
The details of his famous cure are set
forth in the following notice, which he
posted on his office door recently, and
which explains itself:

TRAGEDY IN TARBORO.

ANOTHER shooting affair between
prominent men has occurred in North
Carolina. Monday an alteration
took place on the streets OF Tarboro
between DR.. H. T. Bass and DR.. j. NJ.
Baker in which the former was seri-
ously and perhaps fatally shot by
the latter. The pistol ball passed
through both walls of the stomach
and penetrated the liver. An opera
ton was performed but the surgeons
stated that it would be miracle
if the patient recovered. DIR. Baker
claims he acted in self-defense. After
the shooting he at once gave himself
up to the sheriff and was placed under
a So. 900 bond. The affair is said to
have been the result of a bitter feel
ing between the two men OF long
standing. 1t is indeed deplorable
occurrence. Both men stood high in
the profession and in the community
and are very popular.
LATER-After the above was put in
type Tuesday morning information
came that DR.. Bass was dead, his
death occurring at 11:3O O'Clock
Monday night. He made his will and
gave out.a brief statement in regard
Il l. Ict Dol ,np n nd
himself. He said he did not intend
to kill Baker, but to infiict Il severe
thrashing; that he had been SO irrl-
tated by several occurrences that he
could not rest till he did this; that ii
he had not been interfered with Baker
could not have shot him.
a dispatch to the Charlotte Obser-
yer sent soon after the occurrence
says:
Both men are prominent here and
the community is stirred from center
to circumference by the tragedy.
Another disturbing factor is the ex-
pected arrival of Bass son, who has
been summoned from the University
of Virginia. Unless he can be rea-
soned with there are grave apprehen-
sions of more trouble. Bass death
will spread a gloom over the cOmmu-
nifty He is a big-hearted, generous
man. Over their controversy the
community was divided: over to-
days horror all pity, deplore and re-
gret.
Last summer there was difficulty
on the street between the two men
and Dr.. Bass knocked DR.. Baker
down. The troubles were brought
about by criticisms of the manage
ment of a sanitarium OF which DR..
| Baker is the head.
Dr. Bass dying request was that
no revenge shall be taken, and this
request will be respected. The de
ceased leaves q wife and five sons.
The funeral is said to have been the
largest ever seen in TarbOrO. All
| business houses were closed, and the
community is plunged into deepest
mourning at the deplorable occur
renee.

SENSIBLE GOV. AYCOCk.
Tie VIII Not Appoint Uetegates ~
Proposed Race Believes
That the Idea of Such a Convention
Is Foolish and Will Let Carolina At
tend to Her Own Problem.
Raleigh Times, 18th

Raleigh Times, 18th.
Last week Governor La Toilette,
OF Wisconsin, transmitted q bill to
the Legislature of his State that en-
bodied his ideas on the negro ques-
ton and had a member introduce
the bill. This document provides
for q negro race convention to be
held in the city of Atlanta. All State
executives have been requested to
appoint delegates to the convention.
Several Governors have refused to
do SO, among them being Governor
Montague, of Virginia.
Governor AycOck expressed his
views to the Times this morning. His
characterization of the Wisconsin ex-
ecutive's idea is brief but typically
expressive of the educational Gov
ernOr.
Il think it Il piece of foolishness,"
said Governor Aycock. | will not
appoint any delegates to attend any
such convention to be held in Allan
ia. | am going to let Georgia at
tend to her own race troubles and
North Carolina attend to hers
This is the view that Gov. Aycock
takes OF the matter and he is free to
express them. If the race convention
is held at all it will be without any
delegates from North Carolina.

own, concluded the Governor, "and
we have always been diligent enough
to meet and overcome them"

SAYS the Greensboro Patriot.

There Is Il movement among to-
bacco growers in Virginia and North
Carolina to get together for some con-
certed action with view to curtail-
ment OF the acreage in tobacco pro-
ductiOn. The idea is for farmers to
raise more hog and hominy. plant a
short crop OF tobacco and get even
with the tobacco trust by charging
good prices for the limited supply.
This might be all right if the idea
was carried out. But how many
farmers will curtail their acreage? AS
soon as a movement of this kind is
made every mothers sci of them
will stick every plant he can, upon
the presumption that a short crop
is going to he made and he will reap
a harvest. The small acreage plan
usually results in a bigger crop than
ever.

HOLLOWAY GETS APPOINT
MENT.
Judge TimDerlake Falls Down In his
Effort to Defeat the Former Demo-
cratic Registrar as Rural Free De-
livery Carrier at Louisburg.

james H. Holloway, former DEM
ocratic registrar in Henderson, wins
out in his fight for appointment as
Rural Free Delivery mail carrier at
Louisburg. This will be not only
cause for chagrin to Judge Timber
lake but there are some persons here
abouts who will feel that their much
letter writing and other efforts to
prevent such a calamity as the ap-
pointment of Democratic registrar
who had kept negroes from register
ing, were for naught. A Washington
special to the Charlotte Observer OF
the 18th, says:
The Louisburg free delivery route
controversy, which was participated
in by number of politicians OF prom
inence, terminated to-day by the ap-
pointment of James Holloway, the
democratic aspirant. While this
contest was pending the civil service
commission and other high govern
lllcllU oHlClIlS WClC given ouhuiJ Vic
sertations on merits and dement's OF
North Carolina election laws and the
constitutional amendments of South
ern States. The officials were told
that Holloway as a Democratic reg
istrar had denied duly qualified Re
publicans the privilege of exercising
the elective franchise, and that he did
not love his State or constitution
either. Judge Timberlake spent sew
eral days here in an attempt to com
pass the defeat of the Democratic
| aspirant. Superintendent Machen
held, however, that the constitution.
al questions did not properly enter
into the discussion and that by reason
of Holloway's very creditable civil
service examination he was entitled
to the place. Senator Simmons to-
day teIegraphed this information tc
Representative POu, who cham
pioned his political friend. This free
rural delivery route had a narrow
escape from assuming the proper
tions of national issue, like the
| Wick and Crum cases.

The Raleigh Times is correct when

If our Legislature could rid itself of 80
much local legislation a more general
discussion could be given to the measures
OF general interest. Too much discretion
is given to the different committees and
too much work is required of them. A
glance at the bills passed will show that
most of the time was spent on local
measures. A large per cent of that work
ought to be done either by the county
commissioners or some other local
authority created for that purpose. 1t
would be better and more satisfactorily
done than the way it is now accom-
plished.

FACTS ABOUT VANCE COUNTY.

1t is q fact worthy Of note that
Vance county has the lowest tax rate
of any county in the State-63 cents
on the hundred dollars valuation
o. property. The next lowest is 81
cents. The constitutional limit Is
GGA. And Ourpublic institutions and
schools will compare favOrably with
those Of any other county we think.
Another thing is Vance county pays
more money into the State treasury
in proportion to population and size
than any other county in the State.
And it perhaps gets less out OF 1t.
This is certainly not one OF the cOun-
ties that draws more out OF the pub
lie treasury than it puts into it, as
has been recently discovered is the
case with something like half the
counties in the State.
Vance does not get any OF the sec
ond apportionnent of the public
school fund, and but a very small
part OF the first Yet our schools are
