A Fine Showing.

Mr. A. A. Edgerton. of Smithfeld,
register of deeds for Johnston county,
was in Raleigh yesterday. Speaking of
the success of the company organized
by him for the manufacture of Edger-
tons Harness Oil ard Leather Dress
ing, he said: I'VE have succeeded
from the beginning. We began opera
tons with capacity of one thousand
boxes per day, and in less than two
months time have had to double our
capacity. We are at present accepting
orders subject to delay. We expect to
still further increase our capacity at
an early date. We are receiving du-
plicate orders by every mail. The
Dressing" is just as valuable for the
preservation of fine shoes at it is for
harness, for when applied to either it
makes the leather plant and water
proof, and restores the original gloss
and pleasing effect The outlook fol
the new company is very promising"

After the Burglars.
Especial to News ana Obser

Especial to News and Observer
Salisbury, N. c., July 30
Officers have been hard at work for
the past twenty-four hours in an effort
to locate the band of burglars which
terroriZed at least eight homes in Sal
isbury Thursday night, but SO far no
trace of the criminals have been found.
The burglaries were committee at or
near the same hour of the night which
leads to the belief that there is a
systematic band operating in this city.
The. residences entered were those of
Messrs. p II. Thompson, F. V. Bar
rier, " Wallace A. r. Lazenby, w. 7.
Grimes, Phillip Peacock, l.. A. Frazier
and G. Walters. At the latter home
the burglar was discovered in the act
of taking a handsome ring from the
finfer of Mrs. Walters, who was so
frightened that she could not give the
alarm until the burglar, who was a
burly negro, had made his escape. The
city has been greatly aroused over the
depredationS.

Especial to News and Observer)
Dunn, N c., July 30.--In the matter
of E. F. Young, bankrupt, hearings
were had here yesterday and today in
the offices of Goodwin & Davis, attor-
neys for petitioning creditors and in
vestors, and considerable evidence in
behalf of Respondent e. F. oYung was
taken, tending to show that his alb
sence from the sixth to the tenth of
June was unintentional and unavold-
able and was due to business exigen
cies and particularly were his efforts
during such absence directed towards
negotiating loans by which to meet
his then pressing Indebtedness. This
direct testimony was considerably
minimized by the rigid and searching
cross-examination by attorneys for
petitioning creditors.
Respondent closed his evidence and
petitioning creditors began to intro
| duce evidence in substantuation of
their contention that respondent alb
seconded in order to evade and prevent
service of process in the cause.

PUT SUGAR IN THE SOUP
Smith Thought It Was Tea; Then
He Deliberately Lied
Out of 1t.

There had been a glorious game of golf
followed by a Jolly dinner at the club
house. relates the Chicago Record Herald
Sometimes it is not the correct thing
to tell even a truthful story with real
names, hence it happens that it was the
Joneses who gave the spread and the per
son that happened in was Smith.
Smith is really a man of parts. wealthy,
intelligent and genial and usually knows
what's what" but he is not given to
swell affairs and is not dressy, withal.
A business call had taken Smith to the
club house, and Jones, seeing him, called
him to the table after the others had
begun. Soon as he was seated, being pre-
occupied by salutations from other persons
at the table that he knew, he was absent
" sweetening the cup at his elbow, when
Mrs. Jones, hoping to make the matter
quite plain to this plain man, said, shrink
ingly:
"Ah-Mr. Smith-er-that is the soup
Yes, thank YOU" Smith nonchalantly
replied. "Yes'm, l understand. But 1
always sweeten my bouilIon.'"', with the
slightest emphasis on ''bouillon." Blu:
Smith was at that moment a prevaricator
to put it mildly. He really thought the
cup was tea, and probably never tasted
sweetened bouillon in his life.
