were split. while 40 to 20 per cent of the
old were not damaged. The hydraulic
pressed brick stood the test better than
any other material The natural building

FORTUNE HELD LONG IN TRUST.
Curious Tale of Century Old Quarrel
Between Brothers Revealed.

ct"ccn nrothers HcNeoAcu'
John Bearss of Elma, Wash, has re-
ceived word that he is heir to fortune
of $4,000 and will Immediately come
into possession of it. Coupled with the
story of this fortune is the history of two
brothers who lived a century ago in Will
mington, Del. One was wealthy and the
other poor, and bitter quarrel ensued.
So bitter did the rich br 5ther feel toward
the other that he made a will to prevent
his brother enjoying dollar of his
wealth. He left his fortune in trust to be
held ninety-nine years and at the end of
that time to be distributed among his de-
scendants. The fortune has since been
carefully guarded and well invested.
Bearss has taken the news of his fortune
quietly and continues to work his farm
near town. =

Laxity of the Law and Criminal In
crease.
WarpntOn Record.

WaTentOn Record.
We are led to believe that crime is
on the increase and especially that OF
murder. 1t is not confined to any
particular section, but is scattered
over our entire country. There is a
cause and Il remedy and our courts
and legislative bodies us well as the
people should look at the matter
from Il serious standpoint. In North
Carolina it is almost impossible to
prove generalization and this is neces
sarv before IL man can be convicted
of murder in the first degree. Take
our own county. where we have had
six or eight killings in the past three
years. and those that were convicted
of any crime only received compara-
lively light sentences. Far be it from
our purpose to say that hanging is
the remedy to prevent or stop so
much killing, yet it is plain enough
that when one man killed another he
was sure to pay the penalty on the
scaffOld there was less numbering.
The legislature that meets in January
ought to examine the law and look
at the conditions and increased num-
Der OF murders that are committed
every year and throw IL safeguard
around human life. The remedy is
in the making and execution of the
law. A loose and slack punishment
of criminals, and particularly that OF
murder means to encourage mob
violence, for when the life of IL good
man in IL neighbOrhood has been
taken by another, and in the past
such criminals have only been given
minimum punishment, there is moth
ING to prevent Il disregard for law
and order
