Vigilance and common sense are what

product is sold to the city trade, made
into butter on the farm, or used in

Cleanliness first. last and all the

The cows MIXED daily in the United

to keep the COW stable always venti-
lated as it should be.

COMBAT THE COOLING MOTH

The codling moth will get your APP
pies IL you don't look out. This is the
greatest enemy of the apple, and must
be fought constantly to prevent it's
ravages. This moth is rarely seen,
because it flies at night and during the
day remains motionless or hides under
the bark almost invisible.
Its front wings have the appearance of
brown watered silk crossed by numer-
Gus lines of gray and brown scales

HONOR TENNYSON'S MEMORY,
His Poetry Has Been Exceptionally
and Enduringly Popular.

London, August 6-The universal
regard i'll which the memory of AL
fred Tennyson is --eld VAS given ex-
krcssion through ut tie United King
dom today by exercises commemorat
ing the one hundredth anniversary of
the poets birth. At Farringford,
Tennyson's Isle of Wight home
where he spent SO many of the most
important years of his literary life
and at Aldworth, where his death oc-
Cured, the principal public observ-
ances were held, but there was
scarcely literary society throughout
| the kingdom that did not devote some
time to the memory of the man whose
writings touched the common heart
of humanity During the day both
| Farringfordand AldWorth were
thrown open open to the public.
Born in 1909 and dying in 1892,
Tennyson's life covered the entire
| spiritual and Intellectual movement
of the nineteenth century. The first
volume which bore his name appeared
| in 1880; the last volume came from
the press not long after his death. He
1 was a thorough Englishman in every
sense of the word, and it is not diff
cult to understand why he held the
central place in the group of Victo-
rian poets and spoke for and to a
larger number of Englishmen than
any of his contemporaries.
| Tennyson was educated at Loutl
Grammar School and Cambridge Uni
versity. At the latter his FELLOWSHIP
dent was Arthur Henry Hallam
whose untimely death in 1888 he com
memorated in the I'm Memoriam,
which was not published till 1850. A
that time he was already famous as
: the author of tLocksley Hall.
Ulysses 1.-The Princess" and othel
well-known poems. The death O
Wordsworth left the poet laureateshil
open, and it was conferred on Tenny
son. His chief works after winning
this distinction were the "Idylls Q
the King" Maud" and his dramas
but he continued to publish poetr
until his death.
A few years before his death he az
cepted peerage from Queen Victoria
who regarded him as persona
friend. The publication of many neN
editions in recent years gives evi
dence of the fact that Tennyson'
poetry has been exceptionally and en-
during1y popular, and it bids fair t
! remain so, being in this respect
J contrast with the work of some of hi
: contemporaries, especially the mos

After a lingering illness due to hi
| advanced age, Mr.. w. w. Gibbs, on
| of triplets, all of whom lived to b
| seventy-six years of age, died at hi
residence, 113 Rawson street, Wed
nesday morning at one O'Clock. Tn
! other two triplets are still in the yer,
best of health and will attend tn
| funeral of their brother.
Mr.. w. w. Gibbs and his two broth
ers were born on May 2, 1888, il
Wilkes county, North Carolina. a
the start of the Civil War they en-
listed in the Confederate army Mr.
W. w. Gibbs serving with Wade
JEampton's regiment. He enlisted il
South Carolina and fought during thu
entire four years of the war After
the war was over he settled down in
Atlanta and has lived here since He
was one of the city's pioneers and
was well thought of by all who knew
him. He had been resident of At
lanta for almost fifty years.
The other two brothers are hale
and hearty and a short time ago lat a
family reunion the three had their
PHOTOS taken together. The three were
so much alike that it was hard for
Of either to tell which was her hus-
band when they were side by side.
Prior to the final sickness of Mr.. w
w. Gibbs the three had rarely been
i'll. They are all ofthe opinion that
and prolonged their lives past the
three score years and ten.
The fact that the Gibbs triplets
lived to be seventy-six years of age is
the first time on record that triplets
lived to such at advanced age Rob
ert ]. and Thomas L. Gibbs are now
residents of Wilkes county, North
Carolina, living near the old family
homestead. They have lived in their
native state for seventy-six years.
Recently when Mr.. w. w. Gibbs
realized that his health was failing
he annonced his regret that such a
close friendship should be broken up
before the trio reached the age of
four score years.
Surviving Mr.. Gibbs, besides his
two brothers, are his wife and eight
children. All of his immediate fam
lily were at his bedside when the end
came. The surviving children are

AN APPRECIATION.
The Late Rev. F. d. SwindelI, d. d.
Of North Carolina Conference.

Kinston Free Press.
When the scroll on which Heave1
| registers the names of the good ant
the useful; through every age, shai
be unrolled for the inspection of mel
and angels, high on the list will bt
Swindell. There is an ancient pagar
maxim, founded in wisdom and pro
priety, which bids us "say nothing O
the dead btu what is good.' This in
junction, in the present instance, cal
be Obeyed with scrupulous fidelity te
the facts OF history. Our departed
friend and brother was not perfect
no mortal is-but those who knew
his beautifully rounded character. Or
first acquaintance, one might deem
him but the embodiment of the gen.
tier and more amiable qualities Of
mind and heart which, while they
charm, seldom inspire to acts of bold
and heroic daring; but such :. conclu
sion would fall far short of a proper
estimate of his character. Gentle he
was, and the sweet amenities of the
social circle were as natural to hin
as perfume to flower, but in acts OF
daring for his King, Fred D. Swindell
never paused to consult personal in
terest or to tremb1e in the presence
of the enemy
His life was gentle; and the ele
ments
So mixed in him, that Nature might
stand up
And say to all the world. 'sThis was
mani"
The way and order of his taking
off was ideal in it's gentle fitness; a
sail, with a little company of loving
friends, on the majestic bosom of
ocean transmitted by the moon-beams
into FURNISHED silver, prophetic of
the sea of glass mingled with fire; a
return to the place next to heaven in
his affections; closing of the eyes
in peaceful slumber, with the noble
cSAAO NONOtOo UAlC ia I1O OOoOIA dI -uIo
side, and then the burst of ineffable
light, the music of narpers harping on
their harps, the glory of the great
white throne, the Saviour's Welcom-
ing smile-it was heaven!
All, who would not love to die like
that! 1t were cruel selfshness to
wish him back-and yet, how we
shall miss him! Whether we consid-
er him as a husband, a father, a citi.
zen, an eloquent minister of Jesus
Christ, whose doctrine and whose
life, coincident, gave lucid proof that
he was honest in the sacred cause;
whether as possessing those inf1exibie
qualities of essential manhood which
never compromise principle to poll
cy or those amiable virtues and deli
cate graces that attract and charm
with their loveliness, I fear it will be
long before we shall look upon his
like again. Companion of my younger
days, friend Of my heart, hail and
farewell!

SUTTON INQtiIRY RESUMED.
Lieutenant Utley, of Cruiser North
Carolina, Testifies.

| Annapolis, Nd, August 5.-For nv;
hours today Lieut.. Harold H. Utley, o1
the marine corps, was subjected to
an exacting examination and cross
examination in regard to his connec
ton with the death of Lieut.. James N
Sutton, of Oregon, which is the sub
| ject-of investigation before the naval
board of inquiry at the Naval Acad-
emy here.
! The hearings were resumed today
| after an adjournment, the early part
| of last week, pending the arrival OF
Lieutenant Utley and Surgeon Frank
| G. Cook, who were aboard the United
States cruiser North Carolina. which
| reached Provincetown Tuesday.
The new alignment in the proceed
| ings, whereby five of Sutton's broth
er officers who have already testified
and Lieutenant Utley appeared in
court as defendants, accused by Mrs
Sutton, the dead boys mother, and
her daughter, Mrs. Parker, of causing
Lieutenant Sutton's death, had no eff
feet in curbing the testimony OF
Lieutenant Utley.
Notified of his privilege as a de-
fendant by Major Leonard, the judge
advocate, that he need not answer any
questions which he thought might
tend to incriminate him, Utley waived
the privilege and answered all ques-
tions put to him.
His story in substance was corrob-
orative of the testimony of the other
between Lieutenant Adams and Lieu
tenant Sutton in the early morning of
October IS, 1907, when young Sutton
was shot. While Utley said he was
under the impression at the time O.
the shooting that Sutton directed the
ly as positive about the suicide theory
as the preceding witnesses.
In answer to Major Leonard's ques-
tions the witness said he would con-
slider a man had committed suicide
who was attempting to shoot some
one else and shot himself by mistake
And later, under cross examination by
Lawyer Henry E. Davis, counsel for
the Suttons, he admitted that he was
reaching for Sutton's hand to disarm
him when the latter freed his arm
from beneath his chest and the re-
volver flashed.
Our object at this inquiry is to
remove the stigma of suicide from
Lieutenant Sutton's name, and not to
point the finger of suspicion toward
any ore of these defendants - said
Mr.. Davis at the adjournment of court
today, Hand Lieutenant Utley's testi-
monX must be considered of great
Importance in that light"
Utley was senior officer in the par
ty with Sutton on the night in ques-
ton.
The interest in the case in naval
circles here grows more intense a.,
proceedings advance.
Lieutenant Utley was under cross
examination at adjournment today
and the testimony of Surgeon Cook,
Mrs. Sutton and Mrs. Parker and the
summing up of both sides which is to
follow, is expected to prolong the III
1uiry well into next week.
