Rocky Point Versus Berryyille.
Especial TO The Messenger

Rocky Point, November S.-This
community is at present considerably
exercised over the change in the name
OF the postoffice as above--an histori-
cal name for that Of fruit. We adj
NIT the fact that no inner berries grow
anywhere. SO it is with vegetables.
The Office might be named with equal
propriety Beanburg or Potatobug So
far so good. After making a pretty
thorough canvass of the matter we
find 81 1-2 per cent of the residents
prefer the old name. The name Rocky
Point dates TO the year 1868 when the
first settlers made a trip up the North
east Cape Fear river TO explore the
country and their log book mentions
this name from an immense rock that
outcrops on the q. Il. French place near
Lanes ferry. 1t ante-dates the town
of Bath, the oldest Of North Carolina,
by AZ years, New Bern by AZ years,
Edenton by % years, Beaufort by
60 years, and Old Brunswick, the
oldest town on the Cape Fear, 16 miles
below Wilmington Of which st. Phil
lips walls anda few grave stones re-
main, by 62 years.
Rocky Point was the home of Lilling-
ton, Mosley, Clayton, Ashe, Hyme,
Moore, Haynes, Waddell, Swan, Walk
er. McRae, Cutler, Cowan, LaSpeyre,
Boudinah, Lane, Hardin and many
other illustriOus names who make
themselves conspicuous in the first
struggle for American liberty and in
dependence. The battle of MOore's
Creek had it's inception here in the ad-
vance of the MeckIenburg declaration
of independence.
The name has existed for 242 years
and should not be buried in oblivion.
Let not the spirit of modern COM
mercialism wipe out name that was
in the past a SYNONYM for grand and
glorious deeds. Perish the thought of
bartering name of such rich, hallow-
ed associations for a bowl of berries,
tho sugar-coated they maye be.

Much Ado About Not Much.

Greensboro, being accustomed to
conservative and self-contained news
papers local and general, was caught
off its guard by shrewd advertising
scheme and gave more attention than
was deserved to the incident Of an Of
ficer demanding Of newspaper that
it retract, or refuse to retract, some
thing that the officer considered libel
Gus. The Republicans, in launching
their paper, have evidently hit upon a
man who knows how to get a news
paper talked abont. Managing Editor
Parkhurst-we trust he will pardon us
for drawing attention to his fine 1tal-
ian hand in the proceerings-has done
q clever piece of work and has sue
ceeded In getting his paper well talked
about for time at least. At the same
time, the thoughtful people of the
town-and there are many people here
who can see beneath the surface-will
not appreciate the importance which
the republican paper has attached to
itself in this affair.-Greensboro Tele-

INSURANCE INVESTIGATION
The Metropolitan Life's President on
the Stand-He Explains Industrial
Insurance

New York, November Sin the
testimony of John R. Hegeman, presi-
dent of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, before tie insurance inve;t!-
CATION committee, upon the resumption
of the insurance investigation today. it
was brought out that industrial inSur
ance vas considerably more expensive
than other forms of life insurance, and
Mr.. Hegeman, after CHASING Industrial
insurance as re:ail and the ordinary
life, as wholesale, illustrated the fact
by an example in which for a stated
age it was shown that for 81 900 pol
icy of ordinary life, the Metropolitan
charged $16.55 annually, while for 1884
the nearest amount for the stated age
under industrial plan S31.20 was charg
ed
Mr. Hegeman was on the stand the
greater part of the afternoon and mis-
testimony was along the line of the
amount of the company's increase in
business.
At the morning session Emory Nc
Clintock, actuary of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company, who has been ex-
amined in part at previous sessions,
was called and continued his testimony
on technical insurance.
Mr.. McClintoCk said that in 1904 the
old policy holders of the Mutual Life
paid $4,662,055 of the expenses incurr-
ed in securing new business. He said
that the estimated cost of this new bus
mess in 1904 was s9,830,753, and that
the amount available toward this ex-
pense was only $5,16S698. The old
policy holders paid the balance of the
expenses, he said.

THE STEAMER &C. ". LYON
First Steel Hull Steamer Ever Built in
North Carolina
Boat Was Constructed by the Whining
ton Iron Works and Was Launched
at SINNERS Shipyard Yesterday
VIII Run Between Wilmington and
Fayetteville and Will Begin to Make
Schedule About December fst-Cost
OF Boat Was $4,000.

The new steel hull steamer, &C W.
Lyon, was LAUGHED yesterday at the
Skinner shipyard and she was the first
steel hull boat ever constructed in the
state of North Carolina. Miss Ne.tie
Keith King, daughter of Mr. S. NJ
King agent for the Tar Heel Steamboat
Company, christened the new vessel as
she glided into the peace full waters of
the Cape Fear.
The -oat is named after Sheriff Ly-
on, OF Baden county. who is president
Of the Tar Heel Steamboat Company,
owners Of the boat. The Lyon is 12o
feet long, 25 feet in the beam, with
stern wheel AMI has a capacity for 51
passengers and 500 tons of freight. He:
engines are of 500 horse power. The
wood work. of the boat will be complet-
ed In Fayetteville and she was tow,
ed there last night. It will take about
three weeks to complete the work and
the Lyon will then be put on the run
between Wilmington and Fayetteville
The Wilmington Iron Works expects
to go into the business of boat build
ing, having been So successful with
their first atterpt. The Tar Heel
Steamboat Company got bids on speci-
cations for boat of the lyons size
from 4 number of shipbuilding firms
at different towns on the south Aa.-
lantlc coast and the price paid the Will
mington Iron Works was fully 25 per
cent. less than any bid received.
The company owning the Lyon also
owns the Tar Heel. The new boat
will be put on her run about December
1st and will be quite an addition to
the fleet Of Cape Fear boats Business
between Wilmington and Fayetteville
and intermediate points is increasing
RAPIDLY and there is no reason why a
large business, both passenger and
freight, should rot be done by the Ly-
on. Mr.. S. NJ King will be the Will
mington agent. A crew has not yet
been elected.

CHOKED HIM To DEATH
n Peculiar Accident Ends Mans
Life i'm Short Order.

Coroner Turner was called to a
point near Freeman's Mill yesterday
morning to look into the death of w.
NJ. Anthony, colored, who was found
dead on his wagon about a mile or
more from Freeman's Mill, some fif-
teen miles southeast Of this place
After learning the facts, DR.. Turner
did not consider an inquest necessary,
and a permit was granted for the in
terment of the body.
The accident was peculiar and its
like has probably never been heard of.
Anthony had driven to High Point
with Ioad of wood to sell for his
employer, Mr.. S. c. Robbins. He sold
the wood and started home about s
o'clock. On the way he passed an
other man and it was said to be no
ticeable that he was drinking. An
thony passed on, however, and the
driver of the other team was left be-
hind. In a short time he ran across
the team driven by Anthony standing
in the road. The man got down and
found Anthony dead, his head being
wedged between the brake on a rear
wheel and the wheel itself. His neck
was not broken, but he had been lit
terally choked to death. A further in
vestigation of the road some distance
back from where the team was found
showed that the wagon had crossed
a small bridge: at the end there was a
drop of a few inches: Anthony was
probably driving in a trot and as the
wheels dropped off the abutment he
no doubt fell to one side He was
riding on the running gear of the
wagon and very little was required to
throw him off. His head fell between
the brake and the wheel and his coat
collar was caught and he was drawn
right in between. That he had fallen
off at this point was shown by the
fact that a bucket and some other
things was found there The team, a
pair of mules had gone on, but the
wheels locked by the forced action of
the brake against the mans neck. had
locked and the ground showed they
slid along. When a heavy piece of
sand road was encountered the mules.
being tired Of pulling at the heavy
load, stopped.-Greensbo Record.
