Items of Interest In and Around
the CITY.

Have you paid your city taxes for
1907? Remember that April lst is the
time for advertising all delinquents.
Mr.. Jacob Cohen and son., Captain
8. Cohen, returned Saturday from an
extended trip throughout the Northern
centers of fashion in the interest OF
their department store on East Centre
street.
The news came to this city today
that C. j. Beasley, formerly employed
as a craftsman at Dewey Bros, COM
mitted suicide last night in Smith
field by shooting himself with a pistol.
He had been in bad health for months.
The wrecking train of the Coast Line
made a visit to our city, today, to jack
up and put in commission again the
big locomotive doing service on the
works at the Union passenger station
that keeled over, as recorded in the
ARGUS Saturday.
The committee appointed by the
Civic Improvement League to super
wise the contemplated improvement of
the courthouse square, held an advisory
meeting at the courthouse this morning
and decided to secure the cooperation
OF a landscape artist, SO that the work
they do will be both scientific and per-
manent, This is the proper course to
pursue.
Hon. C. B. Aycock, who was one Of
ounsel for engineer Rippey and con-
ductor Oakley in Raleigh last week,
charged with maAslaughter, growing
out Of the fatal collision at Auburn last
August, has returned to the city. This
community, where both the above
railroad men are held in such high es-
TEEN, are very much gratifed at their
acquittal.
There will be a county meeting in
the interest of prohibition held at the
court house in this city on Friday of
this week, at ~ o'clock, when it is in
tended to perfect the plans of cam
paign for the county, and to this end
it is hoped that representatives from
every voting precinct in the county
will be present at the meeting. The
registrars and poll holders were duly
appointed yesterday, and everything
is now in readiness for the campaign.
That the majority for prohibition in
this county will be sweeping is assur-
ed. but it can be made even greater by
vigorous work.
Master John IDock, IA years old, son
of Mr.. T. B. Ipock, of the Southern
freight office, in this city, while in COM
pany with a number OF little compan-
ions playing with the dump cars down
at the yard of the new Union station,
Sunday, had the misfortune to fall
and the wheels of one of the trucks
passed over his left arm, breaking the
front bone and crushing the elbow,
from which he is suffering greatly, and
the physicians at this time are unable
to say whether amputation will be nee
essary or moi. The ARGUS regrets this
painful occurrence and MI. Ipock re-
quests that we warn parents against the
danger that has brought such pain and
sorrow into his home.
