A TRAGEDY AT SOUTHERN
PIN ES-THE CAUSE
UNKNOWN.
The Wife of New Hampshire Man
Arises From Bed, Goes Into
Another Room and, After
Locking the Door,
Shoots Herself.

Southern Pines, March 21.-Thi!
town has been thrown into state O
confusion and q mystery is yet to be
solved in the tragic end of Mrs. Geo
johnson, who took her own life al
her home this morning between II
and 1 O'Clock.
After attending the dance at the
hotel Mrs. johnson returned to her
home on Page street. Mr.. Johnson
had already retired; Mrs. Johnson
undressed and retired, and in a few
moments became hysterical and re-
marked to her husband: ooh, I
wish [ was dead.'' Her husband did
not notice that she was in so much
trouble, and said: "Oh, I guess not"
At this juncture, she got out Of bed,
saying that she was going into an
other room and lie down.
Mr.. Johnson, knowing that she
was subject to hysterical spells, did
not even anticipate serious results.
In a few moments, however, the
sharp report of a pistol struck terror
to his heart, and he compelled to
witness the most shocking affair
known to the history Of our town.
He summoned a neighbor, VINO aided
him in breaking down the door which
had been carefully locked.
DR.. Ferguson, who has the powers
of a coroner, was called and after
viewing the remains, decided that
an inquest was not necessary, as Mrs.
johnson was lying on her left side
with the pistol in her right hand, one
shot from which had pierced her
right temple and ended instantly the
life of woman who had the respect
and esteem of a large number of
friends. Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson were
two Of our most prominent winter
visitors, coming every year from Ro-
chester, n. H.
On the table III the room of these
two people lay the plans, specifica-
tions, ETC., for a new and handsome
cottage to be ready for use next win
ter, two nice lots having been bought
for that purpose; and under such cir
cumstances the people are amazed
and the mystery for such an act is be-
yond solution
Mr.. Johnson will take the remains
to Rochester Il aving here tonight.

THE FARMERS ORGANIZE.
A Branch ofthe State Protective AS
sociation Formed in This
County Saturday.

Although the rain kept a grea
many farmers away from the Cour
House Saturday, yet there were quite
few who attended the call meeting
for the purpose oforganizing a branch
of the North Carolina Farmers Pro
| tectiVe Association and the following
officers We're elected:
j. w. Thompson, President; II.
Thomas Jones, vice-president; Jno.
A. Stevens, secretary; Atlas T. Uz-
zell, treasurer. Grand Lecturer, J. O.
w. Gravely, of Rocky Mount, and
Ihos. 3. Parker, of Raleigh, State
Business Agent of the Farmers AL
lance, made stirring addresses, urg-
ing the Importance of organization
and unity of action.
Mr.. Gravely stated that the coun-
ties in the east were rapidly organiz-
ing and that the membership in Pitt
and Nash counties alone aggregate
700.
MIR. Parker recited instances where
the farmers had accomplished much
by intelligent organization, citing
their victory over the jute bagging
trust, the great good brought about
by the strawberry growers associa-
ton in having saved 500, 900 per
year to the berry growers of Eastern
Carolina, and held that as the farm
ers prosper all industries prosper, as
the farmers are depressed all indus
tries suffer; that people represent
ing eighty per cent. ofthe population
as the farmers of North Carolina do,
are blind to their best interest when
they refuse to organize for protection
Or mutual advancement.

END OF THE CIVIL WAR.

When the rosters Of officers and
enlisted men who wore the gray and
the blue gre published together in
thirty great volumes by the govern
ment, all intermingled alphabet
cally, it must then be said by all pa
triots and broad-minded men and
women that the war is actually over.
The pensions, it is true, are not over;
they are not distributed on the i'm
partial plan of ofSecretary Roots forth
coming volumes, but they are an in
cident and afterclap of the war-not
the war itself. The war itself is over
when Secretary Root calls "for any
and all authentic Confederate records
that can be found anywhere" He
calls for them Gin order that the
Confederate soldier shall receive the
full credit that is due him in the
roster that is to be compiled.' The
words in quotation marks are Secre-
tary Roots own words and they go
to show that the war is at least 6.raw-
ing to close. It is really and truly
over.

ROBBERY AT MT. OLIVE.
The Safe In the Postoffice Blown
Open With Dynamite.
Special to the ARGUS.

Mt. Olive, n. c., March %.
The postofice at Mt. Olive was
broken into last night and robbed OF
considerable sum Of money and
stamps. The wrecked safe, together
with the other surroundings indicate
that the work was done by profes-
siOnals.
Two suspicious looking characters
went to Mt. Olive on Saturday They
each had small bundle under their
arms and claimed to be selling
chairs. They made inquiry about a
night policeman, the meaning of
which can now be easily understood.
They were both fairly well dressed.
They got between $500 and $500 in
money and stamps.
The safe is supposed to have been
blown open with dynamite about 2
o'clock this morning. Stamps were
scattered along the street for quite a
distance from the postofice.
The chief of police Of this city has
been notified Of the occurrence and
is on the lookout for the thieves.
Later to-day it is learned from pas
sengers who came in on the noon
train that the thieves intended 10
steal horse and buggy from Mr.. c.
B. Hatch, but that they could not
find the harness. The lock on the
stable door was torn off and bridal
and saddle were left out on the
ground.
The thieves took 5000 in money
and $500 in stamps from the postof-
fee, and dropped 800 in stamps
near the railroad depot.
The safe was blown open by knock
ing Off the dial and inserting the dy-
Mantle. The brick wall of the build
ing was badly damaged by the ex-
plosion.
