ing account of how the new County SUI
perintendent of Schools was elected in

Much interest was shown by the peo.
pie in the election of a County Superin
tendent of Public Instruction. There welc
two candidates for this position, Prof. J.
D. Excel, of Dunn, ami Prof I-onnie
Smith, OF Buie's Creek. These two gen
tlemen were members of the board, which
fact placed the third member of the board,
Mr.. d. S. Stewart, of Upper Little River
township, in the unique position Of being
able to cast the deciding vote When the
board met at two o'clock for the election.
the room was packed with a much inter-
ested crowd. The suspense of some of
the more active partisans was intense.
Prof Smith, was placed IN nomination by
Mr. John Parker, of Bunnseyel who also
presented the board with petition signed
by six hundred voters OF the county ask
ing that Prof. Smith, be elected. Mr..
George Long, of Buies Greek, placed the
name Of Prof. Ezzell In nomination with
petitions signed by great number Sew
eral secondng speeches were made fol
both candidates The two candidates,
both being members of the board, agreed
not to cast their votes, but to leave il
to the third member, Mr. Stewart When
the speeches were all made Mr. Stewart
arose and cast his vote Tor Prof. Excel. "

Not Raleigh's Chief.

A telegram sent out from Suffolk to
Portsmouth and Norfolk papers, under
date Of July IA, and under the heading,
''Raleigh's Chief Here" reads as follows:
"Police Chief S. M. Dickens, of Raleigh,
N. c., today was guest in Suffolk of
Police Chief Brinkley. The Raleigh Off
cial said Suffolk's order was about the
best he had seen in town this size He
and Chief Brinkley exchanged compli-

SAYS IT'S a FRAUD.
Commissioner of Insurance Finds the cid
Wayne" at Tricks Again.
Richmond

Insurance Commissioner Young says he
is in receipt of information that the "Old
Wayne Mutual Life Association" is again
making extra efforts to do business in this
State. Very much to his surprise he is re-
ceiving inquiries from life insurance agents
in the State asking him OF the standing
of this association. These inquiries are no
doubt brought about by circular that Is
being issued by this concern In which they
are offering extra bonuses" in addition to
large commissions for any business sent
them.
A letter received sometime since from
Insurance Commissioner Hart, of Indiana,
says: THAT this Company generally pays
from 10 per cent to Is per cent on the
face of its policies, when it pays at all. 1t
is a disgrace to Indiana that such COM
panies be permitted, under cover Of law,
to do a legal business, and 1 trust ere long
that the courts viii be in position to de
eide as to whether these methods can have
their endorsements under the statute"
The above should be sufficient to salts
fy any citizen of the State or any agent
as to the reliability or character of this
fraud" The commissioner says he desires
to call the attention of the agents in the
State to the fact that under the law they
cannot legally represen non-admitted com
panies or associations, and that if they do,
then they not only become responsible for
the taxes and fees that such companies or
associations would pay in the State illegal
ly admitted, but that in case of loss they
become personally responsible to the as
sured for the full amount of policies is
sued through them.

Those not wanting who declared that they
would not ride under ally such scheme but would
make match races and 60 where they chose, as
usual.
The most grievous thing about the proposed
changes has been the rule to permit only single
motor cycles to be used for pacemaking and al
lowing them to be 18 inches wide instead OF IL
inches. heretofore. This will render USE
less about $4,000 worth of pacing artillery
that has ben built in the last two years to be
rsed under the old rules. All the tandems con-
structed for this year will be put out of COM
mission by the new rules.
Riders have been besieging. the N. c.. A. Off

races would stand. Riders who don't comply
