The longevity of the Tapleys of West
Brooksville is well known, says the
Ellsworth American. For thirty-tive
years there has not been a death in
the family OF Thomas Tapley, but on
Friday, June Goth, this remarkable rec
ord was broken by the death of grand
son, Loomis W. Smith, the sixteen
year-old son of F. H. Smith of Sedgwjck.
Thomas Tapley and wife have had
nile children, seven boys and two girls.
Thirty-fve year ago, baby boy, only a
few weeks old, and another boy, four
and half years old, died at the same
time of diphtheria. Since then there
not been a death in Mr.. Tapley's fam
lily, nor in that of any of his children,
five of whom are married, and four of
whom have children. Young Smith,
who died last Friday, was the oldest
grandson. Mr.. Tapley was seventy
eight years old Monday, June 10Th,
and both he ard his wife are as hale
and hearty as many couples twenty-five
years younger. One of their sons is
Omar W. Tapley of Ellsworth, treasurer
of Hancock county.

LET THE NEGRO VOTE
In the Election on Tarboro
Dispensary.
A Large Numbar Ct Negroes Registered Who
We're Refused Registration in the
State Election.

BY a majority of about thirty, the vot-
ers of Tarboro have decided to shut up
the dispensary and return to open bar
rooms.
According to the Rocky Mount Motor
this result was obtained by registering
"A LARGE NUMBER OF NEGROES
WHO WE'RE REFUSED REGISTRA-
TION IN THE STATE ELECTION AND
WHO WILL VOTE SOLIDLY FOR
THE SALOONS"
Writing of the matter the Motor says:
"Tarboro yesterday held an election on
the question as to whether or not the
dispensary shall be done away with and
the saloon substituted. At this writing
the result has not been determined. but
the report comes from that town that the
anti-dspensary faction will be success
full in substituting the saloon Those
who have favored the dispensary have
claimed that the majority of white people
in the town were in favor of it. The an
ti-dispensary faction seems to have
worked while the others slept in conf
dence and, according to our information,
the anti forces have registered large
number of negroes who were refused
registration in the State election and who
will vote solidly for the saloons. We
don't know anything of the situation in
Tarboro as to how the community wants
to control its whiskey traffic, but such
procedure as this reminds us of the time
when white Republicans, for the sake of
office, affiliated with the negroes. If for
no other reason, this alone ought to cause
the failure of the measure that employs
such methods"

His Knees.
lBv the Associated Press. J

Dresden, March Little Prince
George, eldest son of Crown Prince Fred
erick. was missed from the palace and
fer several hours his tutors and the
household officials were in CONSERVATION.
The favorite rumor was that the prince
had been abducted by agents of his
mother, the former Crown Princess
Louise, but the boy was found praying
in the Cathedral that his mother might
return.
The socialists are using the Crown
Princess episode for political agitation,

arch appears to have been considerably
heightened. The carriage of Princess
Mathilde, sister of the Crown Princess
was surrounded by a crowd in Wills
druffer Strasse, one o fthe principal
shopping streets of Dresden. one day last
week, and cries of Give us our Louise. -
were raised. Princess Mathilde was 50
frightened that when the police reached
the scene she was escorted into a shop
and eventually went out by the rear door
and took another carriage home Sew
eral similar incidents. showing the I'M
popularity of the royal house have oc-
CURED since the agitation caused by the
elopment of the Princess Louise. but
none of them has been mentioned in the

Swift Punishment Deterrent ct
Crime,

The most important duty OF any 20
lice force is the control OF the vugr",t
and criminal classes and the prevent II
of crimes against person aud property.
There are mauy other and important
fields Of usefulness, bu: un:ess ,is force
is successful in dealing with crime i, IL
!. failure. As deterrent Of crime,
nothing is probably more effective than
swift punishment. In England a n ur-
der trial is completed within few
weeks, or months at the outside, after
the apprehension of the accused, and
from tie first trial there il no appeal
to hiy ler c urt Il review or appeal.
The wisdom OF permitting no appeal In
capital cases is question which has
been widely discussed, and cannot bc
taken up here, says Avery d. Andrews,
writing for the March Cosmopolitan.
Whether wis, and humane or net, 1t Is
interesting to note that the police re.
cords show an astonishingly small num-
Der OF murders in Loudon, and I
believe that the ceierlty with which
the trials are conducted has much TO
do with the suppression of this most
heinous of all crimes. According to
the official report of the Commissioner
of the METROPOLITAN Police. there wele
reported to the London police only
twenty-four murders in the calendar
year 1901 and this out g: a population
of over 100000.
