His history Is curious He was a
handsome, Woodworking student OF the
Kief Seminary, but on finishing his
course he Immediately provided him
self with a revolver. dagger and a
number Of forged papers and passes.
and began a career of robbery and
brigandage which was marked
throughout by consummate skill and
forethought-
He murdered and stole on the high
way, his victims in Kief including a
stan captain and a master OF the
watch. At his richly furnished apart
ments In KieR he dispensed lavish
hospitality to a circle Of most respect
able friends, who never suspected the
source of his wealth
His capture was brought about by
the accidental p%rotrusion Of a revolver
from his coat pocket while he was
bargaining with a fur merchant The
latter pointed him out to a detective,
and Solomon IL" was arrested and
bound like a dangerous wild beast
At the preliminary examination he
confessed to a long series Of robberies,

the poor and the outcast-
He denied any murders. however,

anxiety to expiate his misdeeds in the

Then the destinations OF the city. with
its wide opportunities for amusement
and the short and stipulated hours OF

away from the farm. The growth OF
the great farms OF the West, and the

region all suffer martyrdom from the

Daniel Webster once said about Il
certain political proposition that
"There were many new things about
it, and many true things, but the
trouble was that the true things were
not new, and the new things were not
true a philosophy which shows that
Webstcr's fame and reputation were
not unmCrIted.
The Vitae-Ore advertisement which
appears in these columns from month
to month is not a new offer. 1t is the

paper have seen and read for the last
three or four years time, and which
many hundreds have accepted, and
are not sorry that they did so. 1t is
of the kind that would appeal strong
ly to Webster, in that it is not new,
but all true. Vitae-Ore has been be-
fore the public for years, and is new

worth been thoroughly established by
the experience of the many thousands
of sick and ailing people who have

of nearly so per cen east of Ra-
leigh and in the vicinity of Raleigh
about 30 per cent, while northwest
of here, in what are known as the old
tobacco counties there may be some
increase, while some farmers in that
section will not plant. 1t is rue
that these tobacco men say that the
increase in that section cannot be
great as the labor is not available.
At the same time they say that in
those old tobacco growing counties
there is really no other money crop.
They say they expect tobacco to be
higher next season. Everything has
advanced and they expect tobacco
to advance alSo.-In an interview

is insuring his crop against damage
