an earthquake that visited the
locality last night. A large proper

and llose still standing are cracked

Great terror prevails among the
people, the large majority of whom
are remaining out of doors. fearing
TO return to shelter, although storms
have prevailed since the shocks and
outdoor conditions are exceedingly
bad. Particularly among the aged,
il is expected that many fatalities
will result from the exposure that Is
being suffered.
instructions were today sent by the
military authorities 10 do all pos
sible for the relief of the situation
in the stricken localities. Municipal
authorities have also been urged to
exert every possible effort for the
betterment of conditions, while large
amounts of relief supplies are already
on their way from various parts of
the country. with immense shipments
being prepared from this city.
IL is feared from what can be
learned that later reports will show
the loss of life to have been much
larger than indicated to this time. A
large area of thickly populated coun-
try is in the zone known to have
been traversed by the disturbances
and occasion exists for the very
gravest fears. 1t is expected that
wire communication will be restored
tomorrow, when the true situation
can be learned.

Duke and His Money.

October 4th was "Benefactors'
Day" at Trinity College. That in
stitution was benefited to the extent
of S84 900. AS matter of course.
Mr.. B. L. Duke did not fail to come
forward with his share. This time
it was a check for $50, 900, which sun.
is to be applied to the erection of
new buildings. President Kilgo is
quoted as sayings, in referring to the
gift, that Duke lis the type of man
who gives the country no concern as
to what to do with our millionaires. -
Dukes gifts have been criticised
because the money he has showered
upon Trinity College represents prof
it's from the tobacco industry. But
the tobacco interests have helped to
make North Carolina great State,
1t is an industry of the soil and the
factory and to our mind Dukes mon.
ey is clean. If it is not, certainly
the process of educating the youth
of the land on it, will serve to clean
Sc it. The more money that Duke
gives to the cause of education, the
better he will be thought of by an
intelligent public. Charlotte Chron.

It is Either Dust or Mud.

To the Editor:-It seems to me
that something could be done In
Scotland Neck to stop so much dust
and mud for the town is famous for
both through the business section OF
the town. Why not make the road
beds hard by using combination of
sand and clay, which would practi-
cally do away with both dust and
mud.
There is nothing existing to-day in
any sense complete that has not been
evolved from something inferior to
itself. This seems the natural law
of the Universe and is seen and
manifested in every field of the
worlds activities. The trend Of af-
fairs in the mechanical as every
where else is upward and we find in
tracing the history of the most COM
mon tool, article or commodity that
we use in the ordinary course of our
lives, abundant proof of the nniver-
sity of this law. The law of evolu-
ton is no longer a hypothesis but
prevails and controls everything
within the realm of our experience
Science has given US new creed ir
which there is no room for the pes.
sinist or time to put something of
which we should have. Progress in
whatever department of the worlds
affairs we may care to look for it, i:
but evidence OF this great natura
law.
Let US wake up and improve
things around us or we will be left
and numbered with the dead town.
Of the past, where progressive spirit:
are folded up and filed away among
the ancient and curious of the town
We need good clay and sand mix
ture for road bed through the bus
mess section of Scotland Neck
Now let us have it. All togethe
and we can do away with the dus
and mud and this will be mucl
needed improvement-which will
not only benefit us all but will be
great advertisement for the towr
and we all would be proud of it.
Speak out somebody on this dus
and mud question in the bushes
section of the town.

SHOT FROM AMBUSH.

1t was shocking to read Of the kill
ing of MIR. H. z. Newberry, of New
port, near New Bern. Saturday night.
MIR. Newberry was returning to his
home from down town and as he en-
tered his door was shot from ambush
and instantly killed. Suspicion soon
rested upon a man by the name of
S. ]. Sanders, who was arrested and
held for trial, and the grand jury,
then in session found a true bill
against him, and his brother is also
held as an accessory to the murder.
The opinion in the neighborhood
where the killing occurred. is that
Mr.. Newberry was shot to death
because he had done his duty as
mayor of Newport, in dealing with
"blind tiger" cases that had been
before him, and chief among them
was this man Sanders and his broth

GOOD ROADS.

The following article clipped from
the Merchants Journal is we'll worth
careful reading and consideration.
The Journal says:
''It is gratifying to see the inter-
est that is being taken in building
better highways throughout the
South. This agitation should not,
in fact, will not cease. The South
needs improved highways.
'The strictest economy that could
be practiced by any county, munich
pality or township would be in sup
porting bond issues for the building
and maintenance Of public highways.
According to the Office of Public
Roads, Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. the average
cost to haul ton of farm produce
one mile in this country is twenty
five cents. 1t has been estimated
that similar service on European
highways cost but eight cents. AS
it is generally conceded that we have
as good teams as the farmers of Eu-
rope, we must believe that the con-
dition Of the roads makes the differ
ence.
"The Public Roads office estimates
that if our roads were in as good con-
diticn as those of Europe, on farm
and mining products a saving Of two
hundred and fifty million dollars a
year could be made. Twenty-sever
million dollars Of this amount rep.
resents the probable saving connec.
ted with wheat, corn and cotton a.
lone, to say nothing of other market
able products.
'No merchant can afford not tc
actively champion this cause, anc
any association of retailers engaged
in devising ways and means of draw
ing trade to any particular point and
holding it there cannot afford tc
overlook the question Of good roads
All over the South are towns which
in certain seasons are likely to be al.
most isolated on account of bad roads
At such times the best of local adver
Using cannot produce results, ant
Mr.. Farmer takes time to study tn,
unusual big bargains(?) Of the mai
order concerns.
Surely every effort to make i
more easy for farmers to get to
town at all seasons of the year witt
the largest load of his products i
good advertising for the merchan
taking any part in this effort and
practice saving and convenience TO
the farmer who uses the highway.
Good roads in the South is tn
advertisement that all citizens cal
unite in supporting. When it is es
timated that it costs Is cents per to-
per mile to haul over ordinary cour
try roads and only cents per to-
per mile over good roads, it doesn'
take a man with a very large brai
to figure out that every citizen in
community affected with bad road
contributes to the depreciation Q
his property"
