Capt. p. r. King and family, who
for several years have been living in
Clinton, while Capt. King was rum
ming as engineer on the Clinton
branch of the Atlantic Coast Line,
have returned to Goldsboro to MAKE
their home, and are comfortably To-
Gated at their old residence on Will
liam street. Their hosts of friends
hers are glad to welcome them back
again to the Best Town in the State.
1t is surprising to note how many
people who make their own living
out of their home towns will desert
their merchants and stalk off 10 d
Northern city to pay as much or
more for goods that are no better,
simply to be able to say they pur-
chased them in New York or Chi
cagO. This habit is a sad common
tary on local pride and public spirit.
Patronize home merchants and home
Industries and keep your money at
home. It is the best way to make
your home town t'go," and it will
pay you in the long run.
A fatal shooting accident occurred
on the plantation Of MI. Jpo. H.
Morris, near Pikeville, lastThursday
evening. Chas. Yelverton, a young
colored man, and well thought of by
all, had been bird hunting, and re-
turning home in the evening handed
the birds he had killed to his mother,
and placing the mUZzle of his gun
under his arm pit leaned On it to talk
to her, when in some mysterious
way the gun exploded, the load tear
ing away his shoulder and part of
his head and killing him instantly.
Capt. J. J. Robinson has come to
the front with a pOssum story which
he youches for. He says that his
hired boy found the possum in the
barn this morning about 5 O'Clock
and was much frightened by the
animal. The Captain killed the pos
sum and had it served for dinner to-
day. Mr.. Walter l.. Summerlin tells
about an old negro woman here in
the city who killed a pOssum that
was trying to crawl up the side Of
her house between the weather
boarding and ceiling. It would seem
from all this that the possums have
left the country and come to town.
Mr.. F. M. Musgrave, of Saulston,
who was SO severely injured on
Thursday by the bursting of a mill
rock at his grist mill where he was
at work, died last Friday. It was ap-
parent as 500 as a medical examina-
ton had been made that he could
not live and the end has been con-
stantly expected since. Fragments
of the flying missiles from the rock
struck him On the head and throat
and he was wounded almost beyond
recognition. He was an, energetic,
reliable citizen and leaves several
children, besides a host of
friends who will deplore his death.

mediately after the Fourth. Mr..
Robbins himself left for Spokane
today to spend few days with his

Last winter when the surface work
was abandoned at this point on

Tho rumored negotiations for the

last week, have no foundation In

improvements in the way of new and
more modern machinery ut the older
properties visited, and great num-
ber of new plants going in at mines
more recently opened. The district
has taken great stride forward, and
there Is universal air of progress
throughout the camp.
"Thcre il another matter regarding
which should like to he quoted.
An important feature of my report Is
the output of the various mines, and

the operat ors themselves. or course l
get II from the smelters aud retineries,

trouble when the operators could just

themselves. There Is no way of
forcing them to give me this datum;
but they would just as we'll do II

POLICE UNABLE TO FIND
COMMODORE {. F, GLOVER
Disappeared Suddenly After Draw
ing $4,000 from a Bank
Accused of Grand Larceny.
VIOLATED HIS PAROLE

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Commodore Ed
Yacht Club, president for many years of
the Crescent Athletic Club and well-known
in Brooklyn society, has disappeared. A
warrant served upon Glover Dec. is
in which he was charged by a client with
grand larceny and obtaining money under
false pretenses. Glover was paroled in GUS
tody of his counsel. When the case was
called he did not appear and the assistant
district attorney declared he had violated
his parole. Another warrant was procured
but has not been served Investigation is
said to have disclosed the fact that Glover,
Immediately after the arrest, drew $4,000
from bank in Richmond L. l., and leav-
ing his wife at their country house, went
to his office in New York. Since then he
has not been seen.
The charges upon which Glover was ar
rested are to the effect that he as presi-
dent of the New York Accident Security
Company, accepted fees OF 81 from per-
sons for which sum his company was to in
veStigate their claims and adjust damages
should the clients meet with accident In
this case the client alleges that "a first he
told he had a good claim for injury
against an electrical company for which he
worked, but later was induced to sign off
for S25 and that Glover's concern then pro-
cured $3.50 on the claim from the accident
electrical concern. II is said the outcome
was an investigation set afoot by the as
surance company which already involves
a large sum.
