SULLIVAN WINS HIS POINT.
Gets His Light on Corner Of Poplar
and Virginia, Removed from Corner
of Spruce and Virginia.

All things come to him who
waits-provided he has a pull to
help them come. This fact is ex-
emplified in the result of the effort
of James Sullivan to have an arc
light esta blished at the corner of
Poplar street and Virginia avenue,
but the council, not seeing their
way clear to incur the additional
expense which they would have to
dig up, by resolution on Tuesday
evening robbed another corner, at
the intersection of Spruce and Vir-
ginia, of it's light, by ordering the
removal of same to the corner where
designated by Mr.. Sullivan as the
one on which he desired light To-
Gated. This action on the part of
the city fathers may be objection.
able to some; as for ourselves we
have no kick coming. But as we
stated before, it exemplifies the fact
that tenacity wins-unless the may
or should veto the resolution-and
Mr.. Sullivan certainly would not
like that.
Other business transacted by the
council included the granting of a
further extension of time to A. Y.
Bane & Co. for the construction of
the proposed new steel bridge
across the narrows between Silver
and Virginia lakes until September
1st. The company now has some of
the material on the ground for the
new structure, but will have to go
some in order to complete their
contract within the time granted
by this, their second extension.
H. E. Foosnass, superintendent of
construction on the new fire hall,
submitted an estimate of the work
already done on the new building,
showing Contractor Sampson to be
entitled to payment of 5000 on
his contract. The estimate was ac-
cepted and the amount designated
ordered paid.
Plans and specifications for &C.
ment walk, curb and cutters around
the city hall building were submit,
ted and accepted, and the city clerk
instructed to advertise for bids for
the construction of same.
Bids for the new hose wagon and
drop harness, submitted in accord
ance with advertisements for bids
thereon, were opened and read, but
none of the bids on either count
were accepted, the bids being refer
red to the committee on fire and fire
department with instructions to re-
port thereon at the next meeting.
| Bids for the furnishing of team
to the city for fire department use
were submitted by Mike Alexson
$500, and Mark Eddy, $500, but Meth.
er of these proffered bargains were
closed. Instead, upon motion the
president appointed committee tc
consider the bids and secure price
on team according to terms of pro
posals for bids and report at the
next meeting. The president ap
pointed as such committee Mayor
Eaton and Alderman Owens.
The committee on fire and fire de-
partment reported that they had
signed contract with the Danville
& Kasper Amusement Co. for car
nival and street fair the coming
week, under the auspices of the Fire
Department, from which entertain
ment the city is by contract entitled

How Judge Long Reoonciled
Two Confederate Veterans

Two Confederate veterans
On Onslow county court in this
State the other day, M. t. Russ,
and 7. j. Capps were brought be-
fore Judge B. F. Long on tn e
charge of an affray. Both were
Confederate veterans and neigh

came to blows. In his charge his
honor told the jury if they be-
lieved the evidence beyond a rea-
sonable doubt, or if they believ-
ed the evidence Of the defendant,
they should find their verdictguil

done by the jury. Then came the
climax. The Judge called both OF
the old men up in front OF him
within the bar, and speaking to
the defendant said: "You are an

T.ibute Of Respect.

ATi1Dute OF kOspects
Again the mysterious and un-
known angel OF death has visited
our neighborhood and claimed
for his trophy our beloved and
highly esteemed brother, VIM. s.
Greer. He was born May7, 1853,
at Trade, Tennessee, where he
grew to manhood's ripe age un-
der the tutorship OF his father,
William Greer. W.. s. Greer was
united in marriage to Miss Emf
ly Thomas in 1878 and lived hap
PLY together until her death, on
Feb. II, 1902. Sept. 5, 1905, he
was again united in marriage to
Miss Ella Johnson, OF Mountain
City.
In 1889 heioined the Evergreen
Baptist church and lived a con-
sistent Christian life until he was
called away April rs, 1907, by
the Captain Of our high saliva
ton, to take as we trust, that
honorable position in the realms
of glory and eternal bliss.
He joined the Independent Or
der of Odd Fellows by initiation
as a charter member, OF Zionville
Lodge, No. 121, Aug 5, 1889,
and from that time he lived a
consistent member to the orde-
ais OF the order. He has filled a
number OF the official chairs in
the lodge room punctually and
devotedly and was ex-treasurer
at the time of his death. His rec
ord was second to none. Hi s
word was his bond and his sigma
ture on paper rated parallel with
gold.
i We, as q band OF united broth
ers, do deeply mourn the loss Of
the brother, who 80 faithfully
and cheerfully discharged the ma
ny duties conferred upon him.
But he fell beneath the touch OF
time,
As the grass before the mowers
scythe
To strike glad hands with angels
In that genial cline.
But in recourse OF human events
Under the direction OF an All See
ing Eye,
Guided by an all wise hand
He was severed from our order.
He leaves a wife and four chill
dred to mourn the loss of O kind
father and husband. His many
; friends and relatives realize that
in the death of Mr.. Greer, they
have lost a worthy and respected
citizen.
But when the summons came
he was always at his post and we
trust that when the dark curtain
OF death yelled him-from our Wis
: ion, the pearly gates of eternal
bliss stood full ajar for his re.
} ception into that home which is
beyond the description Of either
tongue or pen.
} Dear children, weep not for the
: loss of a father, but rejoice that
: he has been released from all the
traubles Of this life and entered
Ibis eternal reward.

One OF the mostimportant BRAN
ches OF the Congress was the Ma
tional Association for the study
and prevention of tuberculosis.
This society is only three years
old, but already has branches in
fifteen states and is to haveeight
more state societies organized
this year. The virtue OF it's work
is the way in which it is spread
ing knowledge of consumption
among the people and showing
how the disease may be checked
in it's epidemic, spread and helped
in the individual cases. 1t is not
too much to say that this is the
most important medical work be
ing done in the United States to-
day. 1t is all being done without
charge where those benefited are
unable to pay, and the chief anx.
iety of the society is to spread
it's literature among the people
who need it and save the poor
from wasting time and money
on quack medicines and SOCIAL
ed "cures" that never cure. SUI
ferers from the disease who want

chemical action of this compound
is thus explained:
With an aqueous solution of an
alkaline suit, such as common salt,

is that a mild lye is formed, which,
when mixed with any combustible
material such as coal, and upon
the application of heat gives off
oxygen gas, thus enabling rapid
combustion.
The addition of oxalic acid
