A DAYS OUTING
ENJOYABLE Picnic at the Had OF
Wilson's Tramroad.

On Saturday, the 25th inst,
Joined party of about fifteen young
ladies and gentlemen who boarded
the train at Hebron Station and set
out OH a picnic excursion. AT Ken
nedy's lot We were joined by about
twenty more pleasure seekers, then
all aboard again. At Brook branch
about twenty mole got aboard, max
ing sixty in all. Mrs John F AcFad-
den chaperoned the young folks and
Manager and Conductor Willie Nc

their respective places. At II m.
we arrived safely at our deStina ton,
the head of the tram road, where We
found crowd awaiting our arriva!.
All enjoyed themselves with their
best girls until dinner WAS an
nounced. The table WAS spre I'd with
s.veritable feast, which included a
barbecue and other delicacias pre-
pared by the good ladies who know
how to prepare good things to sat
isfy the inner min. After tn din :
ner. to which it goes without saying
ample justice was done, the time was
agreeably spent in tete-a-tcte'' bug
gy rides and other social diversions
until 4 o'clock when tn. announce
ment of Gall abolrP warned us that
our day of pleasure was ended, and
we left our friends saying goodbye
and waving hankerchiefs until We
were we'll out Of sight.
Mr. Editor, from all appearances
there were made that day n good

joyable day to all who participated.
All praise to Mr. John Wilson of
Salem mills for his kindness and
courtesy in fitting up a fiat Car with

party. Special IL ss are likewise
due to Mr. Willie McElveen for

MURDER STILL A MYSTERY
LITTLE LIGHT THROWN ON
WHITE BAY AFFAIR
Verdict Of the Jury: That the Deceased
Met His Deoth in Manner
Unknown to them.

INDIANTowN, April s5-Special
At 10 o'clock this morning Coroner
Burrows called the jury of inquest
! together to complete the in'estiga'
tion begun on the 2lst inst. on the
remains Of the unknown man re-
Gently found in White Bay.
Magistrate Nesmith of Black
Mingo being present. Coroner Bur-
rows invited him to occupy u seat
with him during the investigation OF
the case.
The Atlantic Coast Lumber Co.
of Georgetown had been heard from
in regard to their check No 221. The
name of the party to whom it was
issued was Burgess Hamlet. A few
witnesses were examined to day, but
nothing definite was disclosed as to
how the unfortunate man met his
death and the jury rendered the fol-
lowing verdict:
"'Phat the man was unknown to
them and that he met his death in a
manner unknown to the jury"
No one knows how many names
the dead man might have assumed.
Burgess Hamlet must be the ohe ne
used with the A G. L Co. From that
clue his relatives and friends may be
able to identify him. Robbery or
pure "cussedneSS"-which is it that
caused his death? If the whisper
ing winds that sigh through the
trees ut old White Bay, or the leaves
that gently beckon to each other on
these same trees, or the night owls
that complain to the moon, which
pale faced orb seems to smile in pity
on the futile efforts of man to peer
behind the shroud of mystery-if all
these could testify much might be
revealed. But as matters stand the
murder mystery" is still far as ever
from being solved

ATTEMPT AT ARSON.
Another Intellectual Effort 10 Burn a
Vacant 6uiliinE.

Another attempt was made last
Sunday night to set fire to the Va
cant building at the corner of Main
and Jail streets by placing guam
titv of broom-strlw under Il sill and
igniting it. The burnt straw and
the charred sill give abundant
proof of the wouldbe incendiary's
malicious intention. 1t is Only a
short time ago that a similar at
tempt was made to burn the same
building If this store were to burn
1t would mean the destruction of the
whole block up to the court house
square, and no telling how much
more damage if the wind were blow
ing.
1t is hard to believe that there ex-
ist in our aw-abiding community a
character sunk so low rs to want to
burn out good part of the business
portion of the town; yet these re
peated attempts at arson show thai
there is such a person among US and
every good citizen of Klngstret
should keep a sharp look out for the
guilty miscreant.

be surprised. Human nature can't
stand every thing and in the matter
of fishing our nature is weak, very
weak.

was about covered by insurance, but
there will be a loss of something

Name is Smith Too-There is a man
in the local Santa Fe shops who has
a right to a medal. 1t would seem
that the company ought to give it to
him even il It Is of leather tied up
with a string. This man is John
Smith. Smith is a machinist helper,
and according to his own statement
he has not had a single vacation from
duty, when the shops were in opera
tion for the past twenty years. The
fact became known a few days ago,
when Smith asked for a leave OF alb
sence for two weeks to pay a visit
to relatives in Texas. He did not
want to go far and he did not want
to stay long, he explained in excuse for
this desire to take the first lay-off In
twenty years. Most railroad men
think a year is a long time to work
without a few days OF rest and mighty
few OF them go so long without max
ing a little trip somewhere OF other,
but Smith is differently constituted.
He believes In work and likes 1t ad
for twenty years he has been in Al
buquerque employed IN one way or
another in the -company's service. AT
present he is q helper In the machine
shops, thoroughly satisfied with his
position and his pay.-Journal-D Demo.

THE Young Mems Christian associ-
alton al do. and does do, what the
state can not do, and what no other
agency does for the young men. II
every young man in any given city
! was a genuine, active member of the
association, living out every day its
spirit and purpose, that city would
have no need Of criminal courts or
penal institutions. Ii would have
peace and prosperity. All the friction
and the consequent loss by enmities,
suspicious and jealousies would be
eliminated, together with all the vast
waste Of life and money which now
goes out through dissipation, and de-
tected and undetected crime. That
this would be IN ideal state, and
therefore that 1t is not to be expected
in this age, does not affect the value
of the picture, as showing the impor-
lance to the community OF every adj
vance in the direction OF such per-
lection. In so far as the association,
through the self-sacrifice Of its Off
GERS, its committeeman, its active
members, through their gifts Of
money, and those Of other men OF
insight and far sight, who for any
reason appreciate the immense sig
nificance Of what the association Is
doing, in SO far, ! say, as 1t is able
u VIII anu uolu duu iuuuCACU LIZ
young men Of any place, it is doing
just the thing that must be done for
the state and which can be done by
no other agency. 1t is not necessary
to say that no disparagement is meant
either to the church or to the home.
1t goes without saying that the men
who make the home and the church
are the men who make the association
successful, and that without the
home or the church there would be
no Young Mems Christian associa-
ton.
If it were not contrary to our pol
icy, and If it would not be, as 1t would
be, hurtful to the association itself,
the state might well AFFORD, as an eco
nomic and political matter, to contrib
ute the money necessary for carrying
on the association work. 1t Is, OF
course, far better that this money
should be given by Inc individual citi'
zens Of the state, who can put also
their individual efforts into its ad.
