been locked up.
At the inquest Mrs. Forsythe de-
ciared her belief that Hollis was
asleep when the fatal shot was fred.

the verge of nervous collapse. He
said:

Mr.. Editor, Will you give me
a little space in your columns to
announce some of the happen
ings about Elrod?
We are glad to tell of fine crops
in this section; our rural letter
carrier reports fine crops all on
his route, and they say that Mr..
Ed. Thompson is gong to present
the editor with a cotton blossom
some time soon; and it is report
ed that Mr.. A. w. Walters, who
lives near Raynham, has water
melons as large as goose eggs.
Dat cutting is getting to be the
order Of the day. Mr.. Dan
iel Mccall, who lives near
misplace, has fine cantaloupes and
he says plenty Of young ones. We
wish him good success.
We are very sorry to know
that we won't have any more no.
tel now soon. Mr.. R.K. Chisholm
who has been operating the hote
here, is going to move to Row
land next week.
The younger daughter Of Mr.
and Mrs. R. H. Pool has re
turned home from a pleasan
stay at Maxton.

A matter which escaped at
tention because it did not appear
in the regular minutes OF the
commissioners is the fact that at
the regular monthly meeting of
the county commissioners in May
Sheriff E. C. Mcneil notified the
commissioners that all his re-
bates, errors, insolvent taxes and
land sales having been allowed, he
was ready to make a complete
settlement of allState and county
property and poll taxes, andask-
ed the commissioners to go over
his vouchers and other papers
and make settlement with him.
We are advised that the records
will show that no other sheriff
has ever made a settlement as
early as this, no settlement hav-
ing been made heretofore before
the first Monday in September.
This is another indication of
the fact that in Sheriff Mcneil
Robson county has an officer
who is alive to the responsible
ties of his position and is looking
out for the best interests Of the
people.

Candidate Kitchin and his
friends are strange people. In
1893 he, then a member of Con-
gress, felt it perfectly allowable
for him to come out in open OPP
position to the election of Mr..
Simmons to the Senate, and it
was. Now, however, when Mr..
Simmons avails himself of the
same right of a citizen and de-
clares against him for Governor,
he and his friends think it out
rageous and split the air with
lamentations and protests. -

Another bunch of hot air OF
Mr.. Kitchin and his friends
punctured. Every time Mr.
Kitchin lifts up his voice to moar
about something somebody gently
points out that Mr.. Kitchin die
the same, or worse, and then Mr.
Kitchin switches around ant
tries to make it appear that HI
is being prosecuted for doing tn
same thing somebody else did
Amt it a sight?

The official vote in the prohibi-
ton election has not yet been
given out, and so no attempt is
made to give the vote by coun-
ties. The figures given in Thurs
days paper are substantially
correct, so far as official returns
so far received indicate. The
majority is more than $4,000.

We are advised that at a cotton
mill in the western part of the
State a few days ago a man, hav-
ing urgent need for some money
ahead of pay day, went to the Of

that he would like to draw lit
tie if it would not discomfx that
officer. Discomfix is good. We
