TOWN PRIMARY.
To be Held Tomorrow Candi-
dates to be Voted FORA
Quiet Election Promised.

The Democratic primary for
the nomination of town officers
will be held tomorrow at the
court house. Not a great deal
of interest has been injected in
to the election and it will be
very quiet, if one may Judge
from present indications. The
only candidate for the office of
mayor is the present incumbent,
John A. Rowland. The names
handed in to the managers of
election and posted at the court
house door are as follows:
Town commissioners, to serve
two years-M. w. Floyd, E. B.
Freeman, j. H. Wishart, @. I.
Williams, John T. Biggs. Three
are to be nominated to succeed
the three first named. .+
Graded school trustees, to
serve two years E. White,
K. M. Biggs, w. w. Carlyle, L.
E. Whaley. Three are to be
llOIllIlldICu W SuCC0Gu lIlC TWO
first named and Geo. b. Nc
Leod.
Board of audit and finance, to
serve one year-Ex-Judge T. A.
Mcneil, Frank Cough, J. P.
Stansel. These are nominated
to succeed themselves.
Some criticism has been made
of the managers for not posting
the names of Messrs. Whaley
and Wishart both as candidates
for commissioner and school
trustee. After consulting coun-
sci the managers decided that
they had the authority to de-
termine as to posting a name
when more than one was hand
ed in for one office, as one man
could not serve, of course, if
elected to two. offices, and they
determined, in the only instance
in which two names were hand
ed in for two Offices, by selecting
the name handed in first.

MANY AGED PEOPLE
Endorse Vinol as the Best Body
Builder and Strength Creator
Any Old Person Can Take.

"At Is years of age l became
so rundown and weak that was
discouraged. | had taken many
different tonics and medicines
which were prescribed for me
without gaining in strength. A
friend advised me to try Vinol,
saying that it was a cod liver and
iron medicine sold on a positive
guarantee to benefit or money re-
funded. l decided to do so and
l am glad to say that it built me
up wonderfully. I gained in
strength until I felt like a new
man. l consider Vinol the best
tonic in the world for elderly peo-
ple." Jacob Young, Norristown,
Pa.
This is another instance which
demonstrates the remarkable
power of Vinol to create strength
and build up health for ole
people after all other means have
failed.
AS we have yet to learn of ar
old person who has ever taker
Vinol and has not been benefited
by it we unhesitatingly say tt
any feeble old person in this
town, come and get bottle Of
Vinol and try it. If it does yol
no good we will return your
money. We make this offer tt
show our faith. DR.. J. D. Nc

JAIL DELIVERY.

Jail Saturday Morning One
Recaptured-A Man Unde,
Sentence of Death and Two
Others Elect to Remain in
Jail.
Eight prisoners, all negroes
and all serving short terms OF
awaiting trial for minor offenses,
escaped from the county jail
here before day Saturday morn.
inc and up to the present only
one of them has been recaptured.
Those who escaped and the
charges against them are as
follows: Robt. Smith, Fairmont,
retailing; Clarence Stewart,
MaXton, retailing; Nose John
son, Pembroke. retailing; Tom
Quick, Red Springs, affray; Al
ton Lloyd, Red Springs, shooting
scrape; Lawrence Leach, Echo,
breaking into postofice; Baxter
Buie, Rowland, breaking into a
store; Geo. Davis, Lumber
Bridge, housebreaking.
They effected their escape
from the cells by saving through
two iron bars with a hack-saw
and then they removed brick
with the bars from the wall be-
meath a window on the east side
and jumped, fell or scrambled
to the ground. Jailer Floyd was
aroused about a o'clock, as the
last of the prisoners were es-
Gaping, by Jack Bass, a white
prisoner on the first floor, but it
was then too late to stop any of
them. Bass attention had been
called to the escaping negroes
by Junius Mckay. the negro
who is under sentence to hang
May 81.
1t seems hardly credible that
a man under sentence of death,
with the best he could hope for
as communication of his sentence
to life imprisonment, should
have failed to avail himself of an
opportunity to escape, but Nc
Kay says that he could have
gone with the others. When
asked why he did not go ne said
he just didn't go, that he had
done nothing and had nothing to
run for. Two others besides
McKay-Jas. Crawford and
Luke McCallum--also could have
escaped but elected to stay.
Sheriff Mcneil was called
from Red Springs, where he
went Friday, and every effort
was made to capture the escaped
prisoners, but the efforts were
fruitless except in the case of
Geo. Davis. He was captured
at Pembroke Saturday morning
by Calvin Lyon, a Croatan
deputy. George says he was
just going to his home at Lumber
Bridge and get something to eat
and come right back. He had
served about 3 months of a A.
months sentence .>
1t is thought that the saw
with which escape was effected
was taken into the Jail by Robt.
Smith, who was brought to Jail
here last week from Whiteville.
In Thursdays Robesonian an
account was given Of his nearly
successful attempt to saw his
way out of the Jail at Whiteville
on the morning of the day he
was brought here, claiming to
have gotten the saw with which
he worked there from a white
man who had just passed the
Jail. 1t is rather singular that,
in view of that experience, he
succeeded in smuggling a saw
into the Jail here, but such seems
to have been the case.
A suitable reward will be Civ.
en- for the capture of any the
above-named negroes.

WRIGHTS READY
FOR TRIALS
Busy at Fort Myer for Speed
and Endurance Tests
FOR THE GOVERNMENT
Win Make Five-mile Dash--And Also
Try to Remain in the Air for
Two Hours and Garry Two
Men.
FOR THE GOVERNMENT

Washington, June 22.-Promptly on
time the Wright brothers, who arrived
from Dayton Sunday, went to Fort Myer
yesterday and proceeded to complete
the assembling Of the flying machine
with which Orille Wright will resume
the trial brought to an end by an acct
dent last September.
1t is possible that they will be ready
for the first preliminary fight on We'd
nesday. The Mrights must complete
their official trials by Monday, and ii
Is evident from the fact that they have
not applied for an extension OF time
that it is their belief thev can make the
speed and endurance trial by that time.
Since the flights last year the Fort
Myer drill grounds have been entirely
inclosed by trolley tracks. This makes
1t dangerous for machine flying low.
A telephone wire which connected the
aeroplane shed with the headquarters at
the fort was removed yesterday at the
request Of the Wrights, because Of the
additional danger.
The speed trial Of the Wright aero
plane, which must be made in a flight
over course OF five miles from the fort
and return, viii be the FIRST cross-coun-
try run ever made by a heavier-than.air
machine over rough and billy country.
The endurance trial viii require the
Wrights to remain aloft for two hours,
the machine carrying two men and suhi.
cient fuel for trip of 200 miles.
The Wrights have informed Gen. Allen
the chief signal aficer, OF the course
they win take in the speed trial. Ormlle
Wright has already expressed his belief
that the course running from Fort Myer
in a southerly direction to Alexandria,
Va, Is the least dangerous Orville
Wright expresses the belief that the
new machine viii make an average speed
Of forty miles an hour.
