HORSE IN BAD A
Old Prince. the Eagle Horse Company
Animal. Ha a Time Saturday.

The boys Of the Eagle Hose Compa-
ny were in a stew Saturday afternoon.
In fact they are not done steWing yet.
Old Prince is sick. He was in a fright
full fix Saturday afternoon and tried to
commit suicide. He was as wild as a
buck and had to be restrained to keep
him from butting his brains out
against the wall. 1t was at first
thought that something was wrong
with his brain, and there was or he
would not have tried to kill himself,
but it was not deep seated and came
from indigestion and his kidneys. DR..
Petty took him to his hospital after
getting him quiet and he is improving.
One of the boys says Prince was
mad because he did not get to attend
the tournament at Winston and want
ed to kill himself.
The truth is the horses used by the
firemen do not get enough exercise;
they should be worked at least two
hours a day-an hour in the forenoon
and an hour in the afternoon. Even if
they could be kept in health they would
soon become useless, for a horse is ac-
customed to work and must have it. It
is not necessary to run them and strain
them, but they need plenty of strong

A Rockefeller Surnrise.

Some Of our friends will have to re-
wise their opinion Of Mr.. John D. Rock
efeller. At a prayer meeting in a Bap-
fist church in Cleveland, Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter. made an address and referred to
his past life as one of strict abstem-
iOusneSS in which he had never tasted
a drop Of intoxicating liquor, and i'm
plored young men of the present gen
Grafton to emulate him. Let me i'm
perfume every one here to abstain from
strong drink" he said. mo matter
where We go, we see so much of the
effects of liquor. Homes and families
are ruined by this curse alone. Why
will men fall victims to the poison?
No man can succeed in business who
uses strong drink, and no person has a
place in better society who falls to its
power. Men start out by taking a tip
pie. These hot days make summer
drinks inviting to some, SO they take
Il little. But that little too often proves
q little too much, and men go down
to %ruination. 1t is that first little drop
that paves the way Closing, lie said
And right here l can say before my
Maker that never in my life have ]
tasted q drop of drink. Even a little
has been far too much for me to bear
and | could not take a drop now. 4
little is too much for any man."

An SHOT.

On IF the breaking OF u
shaft by the ice at Whining
ION there is an ice famine on. 1t be-
came necessary to have a new shat.
sert bv express. the charges on which
were S110. What kin of a shaft was
il or what kin of machine shors has
Wilmington that it could not be made
there? Half a dozen shops in Green's
boro could AVE supplied it and saved
sending so far for it.
The above is from the Greensboro
Record.
We believe in a paper standing up
for it's own town, but in SO doing it
should confine itself to facts. When
The Record made its slur against the
Wilmington iron works and said there
were a half dozen shops in Green's
boro which could have saved the Will
mington ice factory sending north for
the shaft to take the place Of the bro
ken one it just did not know what it
was talking about. 1t knew nothing
of the facts in the case or of the ma
ture of the work that had to be done.
This shaft of which it speaks so be-
littlingly was over eight feet long and
fourteen inches in diameter and had
to have a crank set to n end and to
properly do this required a pressure
Of one hundred and fifty tons. The
ice factory had to have it's machinery
repaired at the earliest date possible.
1t is true that many iron works in the
state could have supplied such a shaft
but how many in Greensboro could
have put the crank on it and fitted it
to the balance Of the machinery. We
ask The Record to tell us how long it
supposes the ice plant. would have been
shut down if it had depended on any
one of its half dozen shops to furnish
the new piece Of machinery and fit it
to the balance of the plant? The plant
did the most sensible thing. 1t tele-
graphed to York, Pa, where the ice
machine vas made to have a duplicate
of the shaft sent at once. The company
there, having duplicates on hand, ship
ped n at once and it was put In
place Immediately On it's arrival.
And that is all there is in it of this
attempt of the Greensboro paper to be-
little the facilities of the city of Will
mington. The truth is Brother Raece
pulled the trigger before his gun was
loaded and without knowing what he
was trying to shoot at.

Burning Bush. Religion.

Burning Bush" religion and con-
Wnlskey is given as the cause Of an
attempted suicide in Main street in The
heart Of the city this morning about
egnt O'Clock, when Bob Berry, a While
man employed at kearn's furniture
factory. slashed his own throat. Barry
went to his work rs usual this morning
but after working for a while uu- and
came up town. He intimated tn Carr
ney II. kearns, foreman of the factory
u a ne would XII himself. He came
up the street and went direct TO mis-
room over II. A Motifs dry goods
store. In passing through the store he
toid d proprietor TO see that his lit
tie grl and some papers that he hal
were looked after, that he would be
dead within and hour He proceeded to
MS room. By this time the report had
gotten out, and there were several cit
lzens, including Chief of Police GRAY.
on the way to BerTy's room. Reaching
there they found that the would-be
suicide had washed himself and other
wise prepared for his departure. About
the Jme these men arrived Berry made
a daSn for his trunk to get his razor.
however, he was overpowered and kept
away from his trunk. But suddenly he
mao his knife out. Chief of Police
Gray grabbed eBrry's arm, but it was
MS left arm, while the knife was held
IN the right; and before anyone could
prevent it Berry slashed his throat, cut
ting 4 cash about three inches long.
The blood spurred, and it looked 10
those present as if Berry had carried
out his design. DR.. J. A. Turner was
called in and found that he had missed
h Jugglar VEIN and that the wound
was not SO bad as was at first thought
Captain W. E. Johns, justice of the
peace, issued a commitment for insan-
ity ard Berry was taken to Jail.
The trouble that led to this rash act
on the part of Berry was caused partly
by Whiskey and recent complete adher-
ence to the Burning Bush doctrine,
which has been preached in this COM
munity to the Ietriment of many otn-
erwise we'll meaning people, and to the
discomfort Of those who for many a
night were kept from sleeping on &C
count of loud noise, ETC., kept up by
the band.
Berry told the crowd this morning
that he was sanclified and was going
where he could rast,and he came very
near getting a long unrest instead.
There was a report out that he had
been indicted for selling whiskey, but
those who know Berry, say the charge
is false; that while he drank whiskey
he never attempted to sell any.-High

under the great blue dome is there a
creature half so pretty as a Kentucky

sunset, more inspiring than a thousand
songs, and as bewitching as a fawn
tangled in the vines of a wilderness of
roses. She's our hope, cur romance,

er Leigh got in a small amount OF
ice which was onr exhausted by eager
buvers. The other dealer was yet
waiting for a supply. 1t was said that
the ice that came in on Monday came
from Raleigh and hat it had been
necessary for the parties obtaining 1t
to buy through third parties in that
city. Otherwise the supposed agree

One person in the village got q
friend who was going to Raleigh on
Nonday morning to buy him there
four hundred pounds. which he dis
t-ibuted amcng the needy on fonda

The ice famine. coming at the time
it did was a serious feature Of sum
mer-life. There are several sick per-
sons in the town who suffered ex-
tremely. Ice could not be obtained
from Durham or from either of the
near factories for love or money.
This morning Durham seemed to
have cooled off sufficiently to ship out
q little comfort and the famine was
broken.

Out of Him.

Last Saturday night about nine
o'clock Bill Campbell took a step that
might have ended his life, and at first
1t was thought that his neck was bro
ken, but subsequent developments
proved otherwise. He was in the store
of T. NJ. POore and had been looking
upon the whiskey when it was white,
when he decided to go out of the back
door, which is about ten feet from the
ground. Before bystanders could stop
him he stepped out, and after the fall
remained unconscious for a short
while, only sustaining a slight cut on
his face. Friends got him upon his
feet and found that the jolt was not
enough to even sober him.-Mt. Airy

PRESIDENTS DAY AT THE FAIR

President Roosevelt has changed the
time for his visit to Raleigh. 1t has
been officially annonced that he will
be there ON the 10Th of October. lie
will go directly from his train to the
fair grounds.
We bet you that will be the biggest
day Raleigh has ever seen. The time
Henry Clay spoke there OF when Pres
ident Andrew Johnson came to erect
the monument over his fathers grave
will be nothing to it.
The railroad officials realize the
fact that presidents day at the fair
is going to be the biggest day North
Carolina ever had and they have al
ready begun to make preparations to
handle the crowds. When Henry Clay
spoke from the west portico Of the
capitol and when Andy Johnson came
there to place the monument over his
fathers supposed grave were both be-
fora the day of cheap excursions by
rail. Country folks did not flock to
town in those days for but n purpose
and that was TO see the circus. IN
those days the circus was a much more
important event than the visit Of a
great statesman or of a president.
Apropos of Mr.. Clay's visit to Ra-
leigh-He was dined by one of the

whose duty it was to assist the butler
on seeing this became so cOnvulsed
that he could not restrain his laughter
and broke out into a great guffaw and
was taken into the buffers pantry by
that official and severely spanked while
the white folks were still at table
those sitting near the door Of the but
ler's pantry being able to hear the
spanking and the Suppressed protests OF
the little Niger" This is a piece of
family history which we have had
from members OF the household which
dined the great American on the occa-
sion of his memorable visit to Raleigh.

Nm RI FRIEDA MINES
/. IN WARREN DISTRICT
VNERAI MANAGER C0LWELL NOW EN-
ROUTE WITH MATERIAL AND MEN TO
BEGIN EXTENSIVE OPERATIONS

Mr.. Colwell also states that it is
his company's intention to install
an electric drill in the fall and to
work double shifts all winter long.
He is taking in enough supplies to
last until fall when additional sup
plies will be ordered for the winter.
Mr.. Colwell intends to remove his
family to Weiser in the latter part of
August and will make this city their
future home, and may make Weiser
the headquarters for his company.
He is enthusiastic over the bright
outlook for his company, and in fact
for the whole upper country. He has
operated in Cripple Greek and other
noted mining districts, but nowhere
has he found conditions 30 favorable
for opening great mines as in Warren,
Marshal Lake, Big Greek and other
districts. He is particularly enthu-
siastic over the proposed extension of
the p. & 1. N. railroad, as it means
the opening up of a country which
promises to startle the mining world.
Mr. .Colwell has recently returned
from trip through the mining dis
tricts of Cuba and is very much i'm
pressed with the outlook for its future
greatness, especially if it passes under
the control of Uncle Sam which we
sincerely hope it will. AS it is now
the mining industry suffers a great
drawback on account ofthe outrageous
royalties mine owners and operators
are compelled to pay, and for this
reason only numerous and great mines
are standing idle.
John Downall, the president of
the Ell Frieda Company, is expected
to arrive here within month or six
weeks and will proceed at once to the
mines to remain indefinitely.
