Last Night at 1915 O'clock.

From Mondays Daily.
After many weeks of lingering ill
ness and confinement DR.. w. J. Jones
of this city, fell on sleep last night at
1915 o'clock at his home on West
Center street, south, aged seventy-one
I years and four months.
In the death of DR.. Jones the city
loses one of it's most competent ply
sicians, whose ability was recognized
ready knowledge and f1uency OF
speech rendered him popular fav-
orite as a public speaker, and he was
always gracious whenever calls were
made upon him.
Dr. Jones was a native of Greene
county, where he practiced his pro-
fession with great success before
moving to this city, where he has re-
sided for the past twenty-five years,
and where he enjoyed to the end
large and lucrative practice.
He is survived by his devoted wife,
Dr. Clara E. Jones, herself physi-
clan of unusual ability, in charge of
the woman's department of the State
Hospital here, whose dearest care he
was in his last illness, she devoting
all her time at his bedside, till the
touch of the death angels wing
brought surceass Of suffering and
soothed the eye-lids down into that
blessed sleep from which none ever
wake to weep; one son, Mr.. Henry
Jones, a medical student, who, also
was with him constantly during the
weeks of his confinement; one broth
er, Mr. Jesse Jones, of Greene coun-
ty; two sisters, Mrs. M. A. Groom, of
LAGRANGE, and Mrs. Elizabeth Britt,
of Kinston, a number of neices and
nephews and a wide circle Of other
relatives.
The funeral will be held from the

A Review of Noted Crimes I'm which
Trunks Were Used for Conceal. 4
ment of Victims-A Mar. = i,
shal Ney Suggestion.

| New York, June 2S.-When Leon
LING, after his butchery of Miss Elsie
| Slgel, sought to hide his crime by
packing her mutilated remains in a
trunk, he but followed precedent es-
tabllshed by numerous murderers
| whose are famous in the police an
| haIS OF America. The famous Max
| well-Preller case still lives in the
| public mind, though more than twen-
W years have elapsed since the crime
was committed. Preller, an English
| man, murdered his travelling compan-
ion and left his remains in trunk in
st. Louis hotel. The murderer was
| captured and after a trial that at
| tracted international attention he was
convicted and executed
Probably the most sensational of
the so-called trunk murders with
| which the New York police have ever
had to deal was the case of John c,
Colt, who murdered a man to whom
ne owed money. Having attacked his
creditor with a weapon which was at
hand and killed him, Colt put the body
in trunk and shipped it to New Or
leans.
All of the wealth of Mr.. Colts
brother, who was the inventor of the
revolver and who made great for
tune in manufacturing that and other
arms, was at the disposal of the coun-
sci retained for Mr.. Colts defense.
These chief counsel retained many of
the small political lawyers. They
reached out all over the city, both for
general and probably for specific de-
Tense, hoping possibly that some
friend of some one of these lawyers
might be found upon the jury
But Colt was convicted and was
presumed to have committed suicide
an hour or two before execution. At
the hour set for execution in the
Tombs fire broke out in the upper
part of the Tombs and in the confu-
sion Colt was for a few moments for
gotten. What was said to be, and in
fact what was generally believed to
be his dead body was found in his cell
as soon as the officers remembered
their responsibility. Yet a tradition
has always prevailed that the fire was
a part of conspiracy by means of
which Colt could escape and a SUBJ
stituted body be placed in his cell.
case of comparatively recent date.
tie scene of which was within stones
throw of where the Sigel girls body
was found, was the murder of Rev. FIR.
Haspar, the Armenian priest whose
body was found in trunk in West
Thirty-seventh street tenement house
on May 26, 1907. The crime was at
first attributed to members of the AL
farist section of the Hentchakists, an
Armenian political organization But
later it was pretty we'll established
that robbery furnished the motive for
the murder. The room in which the
priest was slain had been occupied by
several Armenians who disappeared
before the trunk and it's ghastly con-
tents were discovered. No trace of
the suspects was ever discovered.

Good Roads.
News and Courier.

Charleston News and Courier.
The people of CASTOR county, North
Carolina, have recently voted a tax
upon themselves of 100000 for the
building of good roads in that county
They have taken knowledge of Neck
lenburg county in which $50 miles of
macadam roads have been built with
in the last fifteen years. In the coun-
ty of Charleston, as we have said be-
fore, which was established one hun
dred years before Meck1enburg coun-
ty was discovered, we have today only
about ten miles, short measure at
that, of good roads. We do not think
that anything could be added to the
force of this statement. One of these
days there will be some other people
coming who will possibly do for US
what we ought to have done for our
selves long ago. Surely, in a town of
about $4,000 white people, most Of
whom are in fairly good circun1-
stances, it ought not to be a difficult
matter to raise by private subscrip-
| ton sufficient amount of money to
lid twenty-five miles of good road.

SIXTY YEARS OF OPPORTUNITY.
Retirement of Maj. John Waller from
the Editorial Chair After Three
Score Years i'm Harness.

We are told in dispatch from Mid
ler has just retired from the editor
ship of the Monticello Republican, af-
ter an unbroken editorial career OF
sixty years.
Think of it. For sixty years this
man has spoken to, his people from
the printed page. The babies whose
births were in the first issue are now
old or gone from earth. States, king
doms, political parties, issues, the
center of population, national prob
lens and needs-all these have
changed; and through all his news
paper has had to do with public opin-
ion, which makes and unmakes condi-
tions, and furthers or retards the
common good.
Did he know what he was doing?
DID he have courage to speak the
truth always?
Was he swayed by sordid considera-
tions against divine truth? Was the
torch he applied each week the bea
con of righteousness? Or was it d
false light Turing voyaging minds up
on rocks and shoals Of error?
Did he inspire his readers, some
times by direct exhortation, some
times by the spirit speaking between
the lines, but always to courage IN
the right; or was he a blind leader q
the blind, filling the bitches of futil-
ity with the goodly shapes of wha
once were men?
He who writes this never saw {
copy of the Monticello Republican
and therefore does not know the al
swer. But the average editor wht
serves his town for any fraction O
fsixty years cannot escape being o
good or evil influence to his people.
And so it is with all newspapers
They may speak twaddle or filth o
falsehood. They may uncover tt
foul things of the neighborhood. The.
| may pander to the local Mammon
They may worship in the temple O
conducting news" paper exist il
every community where newspape
is published. Or they may fight tn
battles of truth, find and heroize tn
champions of righteousness, SCUM
| the trumpet for the struggle wit
| wrong, or broaden the horizon O
every mind by the manner in whic
they report the doings CT men and tn
changes in things.

AS OTHERS SEE US,
The Orphans Friend, of Oxford, Pays
Appreciated Compliments to Our
Town and People.

RecentIy-one one of the most per-
sistently stormy nights Goldsbo,o has
known-an entertainment, as previ-
ously advertised, was given in the
Messenger Opera House here, bv a
class from the Masonic Orphanage at
Oxford, and here is what last weeks
issue of the Orphans Friend, pub
lished from the above institution, has
to say of the occasion:
when we arrived in Goldsboro we
were met and assigned to the hospita-
BILE homes of w. T. Yelverton, J. M.
Grantham, A. r. Morgan, w. E.
Stroud, U. M. Gillikin, Rufus Stevens,
w. T. Harrison, and G. w. Brinkley.
Again in the afternoon there was
a heavy thunder and rainstorm and
at the hour for our concert the rain
was falling fast. Not until about
half past ten o'clock did the downpour
cease.
Our class managed to come
| through mud and rain to the Opera
House and we gave the concert to
| those who had also braved the ele-
ments and made the trip to the hall.
The audience, though not large, was
decidedly appreciative.
"They seemed to feel well repaid
for coming out that evening.
'It is always a delightful expert

Of course everybody in GOldsborO
Florence, S. c., paper knows that it
paints a condition of affairs unknown
in Goldsboro and foreign to any town
of our knowledge in North Carolina,
which is now a prohibition State by
vote of the people, and the law is so
satisfactory that no legislature, no
matter of what political complexion,
will dare to repeal it. The editor OF
the Florence paper, therefore, is not
only ignorant of public sentiment in
this State, but he is evidently a man
void of principle, in that, as shown
by Mr. Aliens reply, he violated the
confidence of a personal conversation
and then proceeded to color it to suit
his own personal desires.
Goldsboro voted prohibition five
years ago and repeated it two years
subsequently, and was therefore in
the prohibition column by local op-
ton for four years before the State
voted dry; and the very store in
which Mr.. Allen does business was
built, and the fiourishing shoe com
pany he so ably manages was organ
