GREENVlLLE The WINNER.
Raleigh News-Observer.


Greenville has won the location of the
East Carolina Teachers Training
School after long drawn out contest
in which eight of the best towns in
Eastern North Carolina participated.
It was contest worth winning, and
that Greenville was chosen is proof
that in Pitt county there is progress and
prosperity, and determination to sue
ceed.
The decision came yesterday after
noon after the State Board of Education
held a morning and afternoon session,
and the news was heard with delight by
Senator J. L. Fleming, ex-senator f.
g. James and County superintendent
of Public Instruction w. II. RagsdaIe,
who were here in charge of the interests
of Greenville and Pitt county, the town
having voted $4,000 and the county
$50, ZOO to secure the location of the
school. The good news was at once
wired to GreenviIle and other places in
Pitt. The representatives of the places
which had lost stood defeat gamely,
and are not sore over the result.

Big LEGAL BATTLE.
1t Is FOreShadOWed in the R. R
Rate Question Between State
and Federal Courts.
Especial Wire to the ARaUs)

Raleigh, July 13.-It is considered
quite certain that the Wake grand jury
this evening will return indictments
against the ticket sellers OF the South
ern railway here for charging more than
the IA cent fare, established by the
last legislature.
The Seaboard is charging the new
rate and is not, therefore, affected.
This action is regarded as of grave
moment, for it is the initial step to-
wards an assured big fight betw een the
State and federal courts over the limi-
tations of their respective powers.
Later:-The grand jury have just re-
turned true bill against the South
ern's ticket agent, Green, of this city,
for exacting excess of 2 IL cents per
mile in selling tickets over that road.

ALMOST HUMAN

Keeps Tab On Everything But Your
Thoughts and Gets Mighty
Near to Them.

There has just been placed in COM
mission in the GoIdsboro Shoe Store,
by Mr.. Frank NJ. Miller, system ex-
pert for the National Cash Register
Company, OF Dayton, Ohio, one of that
company's very latest Cash Registers,
which for marvellous mechanism and
efficiency of detail in keeping accounts
and tab on every business transaction
of the day is so near to human that the
more you study it ''the more the wen-
der grows.

wonderful machine, yet some of its
leading characteristics will, we are
sure, be OF general interest. Here are
| some OF them:

dition of same.
Charge sales of each clerk and total
addition of same.
Goods sent out on approval by each
clerk and total addition of same.
Goods returned, to whom returned
and total addition of same,

what clerk, and total addition of same.

The Goldsboro Shoe Company
bought this Cash Register in order to
not only safeguard their own Interests
but that of their customers. No person
can come in store and have transaction

New York, July 12.-Japanese AM
bassador Aoki, Admiral Yamamoto,
Commander Kato and the entire party
OF Japanese officials and attaches, who
are on tour of sight seeing, were visi-

was no discussion of the idle rumors OF

ROWLANDS INDICTED.
True Bill For Murder Re.
turned By Grand Jury.
Especial wire to the ARGUs.)

Raleigh, July 11.-At almost exactly
five O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
grand jury filed into the Wake county
Superior Court and handed to Judge
Long several indictments among which
was one charging D. S. Rowland and
his wife, Lille NJ. Rowland, with the
murder of c. r. Strange, the former
husband of the female defendant.
Although there were no formalities
connected with the bringing OF the bill
and the result was one that was expect
ed even by the most partisan of DR..
Rowland's friends, the incident caught
and held the close attention Of the bar
as we'll as of the large crowd present.
Neither of the defendants were in
court and the brother and brother-in-
law of DIR. Rowland, who were present,
neither gave any sign of emotion.
The defendants will probably be ar
raigned to answer the bill at this after
moons session, since by an agreement
reached between counsel for the Row
lands and the State later in the after
noon, Judge Long will be asked to pass
on certain exceptions of the State to
dispositions taken for the defense in
Memphis and Portsmouth before this
is done.
In contending that an agreement to
this effect be signed the attorneys for
the defendants stated that their reason
was that, if the dispositions should fo1
ha w
resist trial at this term; but that, il
they were admitted in their materia
portions, they should desire a trial to
be had.
The matter Of the dispositions will
therefore, be heard by Judge Long a
chambers probably today. DR.. Row
land and his wife will then be arraign-
ed and the question of whether this
term of court will see the trial OF the
sensational case will doubtless depend
upon the decision as to the admissible.
ty of the dispositions.
There are two principal dispositions
one from DIR. E, E. Haynes, a reputa
BILE physician of Memphis, Strange's
old home, who certifies that he pre-
scribed for Strange in the spring o
1906 for "mitral insufficincy,' disease
of the heart that usually causes sudden
death.
The other deposition is that OF a drug
gist in Portsmouth, who testifies that h'
/ frequently filled for Strange the pre-
scription of DIR. Haynes, of digitalis,
heart stimulant, and that Strange tole
him he suffered from heart diseBse.
DR.. Rowland, who attended Strang
in his sudden fatal illness certified th
cause of death as ''heart disease, ''whel
the burial grant was asked for.
If the dispositions are admitted by
Judge Long the trial will be set TO
next week; and if they are ruled out
doubtless an appeal will be taken, an
certainly continuance asked for.

What They're doing in Kentucky.

Greensboro Record.
This temperance, prohibition busi-
ness is getting pretty warm when the
city of Louisville, KY, puts on the lid
good and strong so that not drop of
the ardent can be had on Sunday, yet
this is what happened last Sunday.
Governor Beckham is prohibitionist;
on account of some legal tangle all the
city officials were ousted some time ago,
leaving the governor to fill their places.
This he did, then the ordinance relating
to selling on the Sabbath was strictly
enforced and they do say that for the
first time in the history of that great
city men were splitting cotton all day
long. The greater part of Kentucky is
dry, and year by year sees many of the
cities following suit. Tt is even claim
ed that one of these days Louisville will
go dry.
