Mr.. James Brinkiey prominent farmer
living near Drivers in Nanesmond county
died recently while in the prime of life. and
his death illustrates forcibly the Importance
of certain prosecutions in business matter
Tat men ara eften likely TO overlook.
Nearly all business men. and particularly
men In the busir css of farming. have plans In
hand at all times that others cannot take up
on the instant and mature successfully. They
must have time to become familiar with
details, and have ready money 10 cover delays
involved. as well as to continue operations.
Nj, Brinkley could always command money
needed to tide him over emergencies; but for
his estate to do such thing is entirely diff
ferent proposition.
Mr.. Briuklcy was always active I'm business
and seldom had large balance in bank. He
kept his money at work. AS a consequence.
when stricken down by death. business losses
would almost certainly have ensucd had he
not forseen such difficulties and as a prudent
business man prepared for them several years
ago by taking outa policy of life insurance I'm
the Phoeuix Mutual OF Hartford. The money
received from The Phoenix in payment of this
policy was, as Mr.. Brinkley foresaw, worth
several times the amount to his family in the
protection which IL afforded It's various
interests.
Upon receipt or request we will sc,.d pam

NORTHUMBERLAND PRIMARY
EDITOR CITIZEN:

EDITOR CITIZEN:
The much-talked Of primary has
come and gone, and it has left q
stencil in the nostrils Of the people
worse than the odor Of fish factory.
Sydnor has been bupcoed out of the
"regular" nomination by an alleged
majority Of three. Ee has entered
protest against the committee declar-
ing Crabbe the nominee.
1t seems that at neathsville alone
each voter was Intercepted as to
whether he would support the nomi-
nee and informed that unless he 20
promised he could not yois.
This would have been fair if en-
forced all over the district, hut it
was not mentioned outside of Heaths-
Vile, in this county. And at Heaths-
Vile they worked it like this: One
man offered to vote but upon decla-
ration that he would not vote for
Sydnor, was allowed to vote for
Crabbe. Another after declaring the
came walked OUT without voting, but
bis name was put on the list az vot-
ing for Crabbe. A third who re-
fused to support Crabbe was not al
lowed to vote at all, and there were
several Sydnor votes turned down
the same way. At Lillian one Re-
publican voted for Crabbe. At Wi
comico one prominent Republican
voted for Crabbe, and at Lottsburg
one negro voted the same way.
The people are hot under che col
lar, and there is something going to
be done. There is likelihood of
hot times ahead if the bunco game
stands. GEO. HI. SMITH.

THE wEsTYORELAND SHOOTING.

The account of s. B. Hardwick's
fatally shooting the negro Gordon
last week was taken from correspon-
dence of the Richmond papers. Later
developments disclosed the following
facts:
Mr.. Hardwick was given a prelim-
mary trial before Justices Newton
and Unruh, and the evidence was to
the effect that Gordon insulted Mr..
Hardwick when ordered from tree.
When Mr.. Hardwick returned with
the shot gun, the defendant said, the
negro at once sprang into his buggy
and began desperate struggle,
choking and beating Mr.. Hard
wick, who fired the first sho.
merely to brighten him of. The
second shot, which was the one that
took effect, was fired, he said, to pro-
tect his own life. The evidence az
procured showed that the shooting
was in self defence.
Mr.. Hardwick was bailed in the
san Of $500 Or his appearance ai
Montross on October 26th. The
case has excited great interest, owing
to the prominence of Mr.. Hardwick
