TRINITY CHOIR BOYS COME HOME FROM CAMP To Attend Funeral of the Late Sherwood s.
 Thompson.
LADS HAD GREAT WEEK
Glorious Time Finished Up With Reception and Huge
 Bonfire Last Night.

Trinity choir boys will strike their tents at Pawson park early this morn ing and come to the city in order to
 take part in the funeral services for
 the late Sherwood S. Thompson which
 take place at Trinity church this aft
 ernoon. MT. Thompson had taken an active interest in the boys of the choir
 for many years, and one of the last
 things he did was to talk over the de- tails of the week at camp with Mr. Read. The late commissioner also had a monster wedding cake made at his
 bakery which he sent down for the
 boys to enjoy.
 The week at camp has been a very pleasant one, in fact MT. Read said yesterday afternoon that it was one of the most successful they have ever
 had, and that the only drawback to
 the weeks enjoyment was the uneX- pected death of Mir Thompson. A visit to the camp yesterday afternoon found
 the boys looking the picture of health.
 Part of them were out cruising around the Thimble islands in company with the Rev. Mir. Sterrett. Others were playing ball, while others were dis porting themselves in the waters of the sound. The boys were all highly
 elated at their baseball victory over
 the choir boys of St Barnabas on the Hudson. The score at the finish of the contest was IA to 10 in favor of Trinity The principal event yesterday
 was the bonfire in the evening. Dur ling the day the boys had kept them selves busy collecting material for the fire which, when built was the largest ever seen on the beach. At o'clock Mir, Read applied the match and it burned fiercely for several hours. The flames illuminated the shore for miles around. The cottagers from Indian Neck, Sunset Beach and vicinity came along and enjoyed the blaze At 9 o'clock the boys held a reception. Ice
 cream was served and everyone had a slice of the large wedding cake which
 the late MT Thompson donated for the occasion,
 This morning the boys will board Captain Baldwin's boat and sail for
 this city, Everyone yesterday cypress cd themselves as highly pleased with
 the weeks outing. In fact they would
 all have been pleased to have stayed
 another week at the park.

Umbrella Frauds.

Several people have lost umbrellas re- gently through some person who has been going from house to house solie- iting work for A, Miller of 4l5 stlte street. MT Miller says he has never sent out agents to collect work for him and the people who are using his name are frauds.
 Among the people who gave up um- brellas to the man is Mrs. George Ba- con of Cedar Hill. She lost an umhrel- la about a week ago. The people who send their umbrella to be repaired call at Mir. Miller's store and ask why they have not been delivered.

EDWARDS ESTATE
 PAYS LARGE STATE TAX Comes to $25;246,60 and is Largest Since Judge Stud
 ley Took Office. EXPENSIVE LOBSTERS An Ungrateful Cook Fined Peddlers Are Fined for
 Obstruction.
EXPENSIVE LOBsTERs

The local probate court yesterday morning collected $2,9770S for the state on inheritance taxes. Of this $2,546.60 came from one estate, that of the late Caroline Edwards, and is the largest tax which has been col- lected for the state since John P. Stud ley has been judge,
 The estate is not the largest probat- ed, but because the heirs are not members of the family the tax is about six times as large as it customarily is.
 The $4So.48 is from the Harriet Hayes estate.
 The New Haven probate court does not get anything on the inheritance tax.

 The daring act of Robbie De Cas- tro, the boy wire-wall1er, causes thou sands to wonder each day. He walks a wire strung from the tower to the chutes, and, over one hundred feet in mid-air, goes through series of in- trepid stunts that holds the throngs in breathless suspense.

The Independent Farmer.

Comparatively speaking, what an
affiuent and independent gentleman
the farmer is. The city man is the
victim of the butcher, the baker and
the poor gas maker. He pays for
everything he gets except the air,
and would be glad to pay for that if
he could get the country kind. Not
so the farmer. Though his fields
are broad and his fences high and
strong, he has neighborly feeling
for everyone who lives within ten
miles of him. His pastures aud his
p 'ultry yards supply his meat and
eggs, his garden fills the vegetable
cellar every fall and his fruithouse
is stocked with fresh canned and
Gu ed fruits in abundance. He works
leisurely through the spring and
early summer, rushes little during
harvest and then spends the winter
doing the chores and cutting his
years fuel.-The Agriculturist.

KENTUCKY WILL GO REPUBLICAN,

KENTUCKY WILL GO REPUBLICAN,
The PR sent prospects are thu
Kentucky will swing into the H.
publican column at the next election
In that State. The democrats in that
State are divided while the Repub-
Iicans are united and growing in
strength.
Mel. NJ. G. Hutchins, prominent
politician Of Kentucky, gives the
following interview to the Washing
ton Post bearing on the political
situation In his State:
"The Republicans of Kentucky
have q better chance to elect a Gov
emo. at the next guberpatorial cleo
ton than they have had in several
years" said Mel NJ G. Hutchins, of
MaysviIIe, at the Ebhiit last night
Mai. Hutchins for several years was
a member of the Republican Central
Committee. The democratic partJ
of the State is divided, about half
of them supporting Beckham and
the other half OPPOSING him. he
continued. IF the Republicans are
wise enough therefore to nominate
the right man, they will have good
chance to elect him. There are nu
merous candidates, Of course, but
there is a well defined sentiment In
favor of Gus K Wilson, of Louis
willie, and the impression is preva-
lent among the most prominent and
Influential Republicans that ne Will
be the choice. He will make strong
candidate.'

BLIND PARTIZ ANSHIP.

1t appears that representative
Kitchin from Halifax County Is
democrat beyond redemption. He
said in the House Tuesday that he
had voted for a democrat that had
voted for a negro, and he added that
he would vote for anything the
democratic primary would put up.
Mr.. Kitchin is one of the "white
supremacy" crowd, too. With many
the name democrat covers a null
titude of sins that would be unpar-
donable under any other name. But
the statement last week OF minis
ter of the gospel takes the lead 80
far. He was an advocate of tenn
perance measure, but said if the
measure would hurt the democratic
party he would not favor it, that ne
would not favor anything that would
hurt the democratic party. To say
the least this minister shocked US.

shocked his church. Religion Is

A Curse to Society and the State.

Two and four years ago there was
much discussion of the divorce laws
IN the legislature. By degrees the
avs had been amended and new
mes giving additional causes for d.
vOrce enacted, until the severance of
marital relations in North Carolina
was q comparatively easy matter.
The religious bodies of the State
rook up the question and by earnest
-fforts the laws were SO amended
that by getting a divorce is no lou
ger an easy matter in North Caro-
ina. That is to say il was intended,
nut the present legislature has al
ready begun to tamper with the di-
vorce laws. A bill has been passed
making a separation of ten years
cause for divorce. 1t passed the
House without attracting attention
but met warm reception in the

If every legislature feels called on

result, for while there are proper
causes for divorce lax divorce laws
are curse to society and to the

A bill has been introduced in tt g
Senate by one of the Senators from
the Sixteenth senatorial district to
appoint extra County Commissioners
in Sampson County. The Senator is
democrat, while the present board
of County Commissioners in Samp-
son are Republicans. If the bill
passes it will also name the extrs
Commissioners and they will be
democrats. The bill is intended t.
give jobs to some hungry democrats

low the voters Of that County to
