OVERLOOKEDMONEY
Gates Burglar Caught in
Suffolk Requisition
Was Not Asked.

Governor Glenn's decision in the
matter of rewards for the capture
of fugitiveS from justice, has had
salient effect in at least one instance.
He issued Il strong statement several
weeks ago, in which he intimated that
too much money had been spent III
rewards for captures, and that the
officers of the law and pot been con-
scientiously performing their duty.
The officers in this instance were so
earnest, and so determined to get the
law breaker, that they did not ask
that a requisition be issued when
they learned that the criminal HAD
escaped into Virginia.
Il few days ago Charles Ridley, q
house burglar, broke into the home OF
Jacob Morris, in Gates county, and
stole a valuable watch. Ridley also
entered the house OF II. Parker, in
the same community and committed

900 in the same bureau iii good spend
ing money, concealed, and if the rob-
Der had gone q little deeper he would
have found this money.
Ridley escaped, headed nOrthward,
it was supposed, and the authorities
in the Virginia and North Carolina
towns within scventy-fivc miles OF
where the crimes were committed,
were notified. The man went to Suf-
folk, and was soon afterwards in the
police clutches. An officer from
Gates went to Suffolk and returned
with the prisoner, who was given a
preliminary hearing, and was held for
the grand jury of the next term of
Gates criminal court.

Sorrow at Chapel Hill.

Especial to News and Observer
Chapel Hill, N. c., April 27.-A
phone message has just been received
here from Durham stating that Mrs
! Lucy Battle Cobb, wife of Prof Col
| lier Cobb, of the University. died in
Watts Hospital there tonight. She
had been in the hospital only a few
days and her death was quite sudden
and a shock to the people of Chapel
Hill, where she has many friends and
relations.
The news of the death of this ac-
complished and popular woman Will
shock the people of Raleigh. AS Miss
Lucy Battle she was we'll known and
beloved. In her church, she was a
leader, faithful in attendance, useful
in every department, ready to spend
and be spent in its service. From
girlhood she was a member of the
choir and came to be looked to as
the guide among the younger women
of her communion. In charitable, pa
triotic, literary. or other organizations
in which Raleigh women were en-
gagged, she took a prominent part and
was never found wanting in any labor
that could help her sex, humanity or
her city. Modest and retiring. her
position of leadership came from her
wisdom, sound judgment and capacity
to execute.
Mrs. Cobb was the oldest daughter
of Hon. Richard H. Battle Her moth
er, daughter of the late Justice Thorn
as S. Ashe, died when she was young
girl She took her place and was both
mother and sister to the younger
children in her fathers home, and in
that relationship the beauty of her
character was most marked. Those
who knew her in her home life We're
genuine in their warm congratulations
to Prof Cobb when just one year
ago she became his wife. for in every
quality of head and heart she was
the best type of our noble Southern
womanhood Her short married life
was ideally happy in the cOngenial
life that makes Chapel Hill a delight
ful place to live. There her grand
father had been educated and had
returned in his old age to teach law.
There her father had been student,
tutor, trustee; her uncle had been
president, and other relatives had held
professorships for more than half a
century. She was at home in that classic
village, the wife of a popular profess
sor, and was we'll qualified by educa-
ton, love of the place and the school,
and attachment for everything con-
nected with Chapel Hill to become q
leader in the social life of the uni
versity village, to which she was
warmly welcomed. Her death will be
deplored there as much as in Raleigh
where she was born and spent all the
years of her life until her marriage.
1t is made doubly sad because only
q short time before the summons her
young child preceded her to the Better
Land.

MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
ARE DRAGGING OUT A TIRED

Says The w. I'll. King Drug Co, Simply
for The Want OF "a Little
Strength and Vitality.

Simply for the want of little
strength and vitality" said MI King,
of the w. H. King Drug Co. there
aer millions of people in this world,
and a large number right here in
Raleigh, who are dragging themselves
around half dead and half alive, and
it hardly seems to them that life is
worth living.
81 want to say to every such per-
son, take Vinol, our delicious cod
liver oil preparation, which is not Il
patent medicine, and you know what
you are taking as everything it con-
tains is printed on the bottle.
"Vinol contains in q highly con-
centrated form all of the curative,
life-giving elements of cod liver oil,
without a drop of oil or grease to up
and enrich the blood, invigorate every
organ in the body and create strength
as nothing else known to medicine
can do.
MIR. M. A. Cassidy, a prominent
educator and Supt. of Schools, LeXing
ton, Ky, writes: After using differ
ent tonics and cod liver oil prepare
tons on the market, / find Vinol to
be far superior TO them ell and its
strengthening properties are truly re-
markable.
'Vinol has built up MY system,
strengthened my nerves--in fact, it
has made a new man of me, enabling
me to take up my work with re-
newed energy and vigor and [ heart
;ly endorse Vinol as the best cod liver
oil preparation and strength creator
known.
I'VE ask ev weak or aged p"rS n
in Raleigh, every person who is run
down. oyerworkcd, nervous or debili-
tatad and every one suffering frOrn
severe colds, hanging-on coughs and
incipient consumption. to try Vinol on
our guarantee to build them up and

fails to give satisfaction If such cases
we give back the money without red
