No Sectional Lines in Primitive Bap-
fist Church.

To the Editor: My attention has been
called to an article in the Reunion edition
of the News and Observer for September
27th., and written by Mr.. c. P. Frazier,
of Greensboro, in which he says in speak
ing of the Quakers: ut is the only church
in the South that has never known a
MaSons and DiXon'~ ! feel sure
that Mr.. Frazier is not acquainted with
the history of the Primitive Baptists
They have ever been, and are now, one
people, north, SOUTH east and west. The
war of the sixties, nor any other war has
ever made any division among them In
the North there were among them strong
sympathizers with the South, and men
who would not fight in Federal ranks.
There were also strong union men in the
South and yet there was never Jar of
fellowship i'll their ranks because of their
private opinions on these things.
Elder Gilbert Beebe and others of our
brethren of the North visited the Kehukee
and other associations in the eastern part
of this State as long as they were allowed
to cross the lines, and Elder C. B. Has
sell and others visited the associations and
churches in the North in the same way
Then just as son as they dare cross the
lines again this brotherly visiting was
again resumed and continues till this day
This writer has made several visits in
Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, New Jersey, and New York,
and has been as kindly received by all the
churches and associations in the North as
any of their own preachers.
With our people there is neither North
nor South, East nor West, neither does
the ocean divide our fellowship, for we
are one people and have ever BEEN

BURGLARS AT SPRING HOPE.
tempt to Rob the Bank There Foilad by Cool
Prisoner.
Especial to News and observer)

(Special to News and Observer
Spring Hope, n. c., Oct. 15.-Much eX-
citement reigns here consequent on an at
tempt by four desperate burglars to dyna-
mite and rob the Spring Hope Bank.
The door of the bank building was forced
open by a crowbar and the outer door
of the safe blown open by explosives.
There were eight detonations and ninth
explosion would probably have burst oLcn
the inner door and revealed $4,000 de-
posted in the vault. That this door W as
not blown off was owing in great part
to the presence of mind of Mr.. Dance
Tisdale market man here, who fright
ened the robbers away.
Tisdale says he was awakened by an
explosion about o'clock in the morning,
that going in the direction of the bank,
he was stopped by two armed men dis
guised. who overpoWered and bound him
and stood over him watching while two
other men carried on operations inside
the bank
''Pretty soon" said Tisdale, in relating
his story. David Dodd and Will Stalhngs,
who room across the street in front of
the bank raised their window and both
asked what was the matter. The rob-
bers on guard told them to put down their
window and they did so, having no wea-
pom with which to defend themselves.
Then two negroes came up, but We're
both shot at and ran off. After awhile
/ told them there were several young
men sleeping in room across from the
bank who were provided with Winchester
rifles, and soon they seemed to become
uneasy, when, upon hearing a mule paw
ing, and thinking it was the young men
arousing. one of the burglars came out
of the bank, remapking: We can't do
anything, and the people are waking up.
Let's 60 So they went to Stallings'
warehouse and securing their teams-one
pulled by two mules and the other by
two horses. made off in the direction OF
Wilson" "f
One Of the negroes whom the burglars
shot at, named Kicks Pearce, was so
frightened that he ran to the livery stable
where he worked and crouched down
near a mule The mule kicked him near
ly to death, and he is in a precarious con-
dition.
After the robbers left Mr. Tisdale was
unbound and parties left at once in search
of the robbers, who left at a rapid rate.

FACT PROVEN.
Should Convince Even the Most Skep-
teal of It's Truth.

II there is the slightest doubt in the
minds of any that Dandruff germs do not
exist, their belief is compelled by the
fact that a rabbit innoculated with the
germs became bald in six weeks time.
1t must be apparent to any person
therefore that the only prevention OF
badness is the destruction of the germ
which act is successfully accomplished
in one hundred per cent of cases by
the application of Newbro's Herpicide.
Dandruff is caused by the same germ
which causes badness and can be pre-
vented with the same remedy-Neworos
Herpicide.
