Mrs. White Injured.

Mrs. Carey w. White, of Tillery,
received a painful and distressing IN
jury while riding in an automobile
near Hamilton Sunday evening. Mr..
and Mrs. White, with another couple,
had made the trip from Tillery to
Hamilton in an automobile Sunday
morning. AS they left Hamilton
that evening, the machine running
at pretty good speed, the car ran
over place in the street, when Mrs
White was suddenly thrown from
her seat against the top of the ma
chine, receiving painful injuries
about the face. Her nose was cut
almost off, besides several other
cuts about her face. Not be ing able
to secure doctor in Hamilton, Mr..
White hurried to Scotland Neck,
where Mrs. White was given medl-
cal attention by DR.. O. F. Smith.
Her wounds were dressed and the
torn and cut parts Of her face were
stitched together, and after resting
awhile, she was carried on the same
automobile to her home in Tillery. 81
Mrs. White bore the accident
bravely, showing strong nerve and
endurance. From the latest reports
she is getting along very nicely and
we hope she may soon be none the
worse for the accident.

NEWSPAPER BARGAIN DAY.
Raleigh Afternoon Paper Putting on
Special Offer for Ten DAYS.

One Of the biggest bids made for
business in this State in recent years
by a daily newspaper has just been
announced by The Evening Times of
Raleigh. The subscription price of
this paper is $500 per year, but for
period Of ten days only, from o.
tober to October 10 at IL o'clock
p. M, they are going to accept yearly
subscriptions in advance for the sum
of $3.50. This certainly is one of the
most remarkable offers ever made by
a responsible newspaper in this Sec
ton. 1t is frequently done in the
North and West. but The Evening
Times is the first to inaugurate such
a plan in this section. The idea is,
according to Editor Simms, of The
Evening Times, that several thous-
and new subscriptions can be added
to the list in these ten days and COL
lectlons made on the old accounts
with practically no cost, and, there
fore, it is best to give the subscrib-
ers the benefit Of the quick work.
The Evening Times is Raleigh's great
afternoon paper, and it's leased wire
telegraph service and State news
page is among the best. The idea
of getting daily paper on a bargain
for $3.50 per year in this State will
be watched with much interest.

The LATE THOMAS l. EMERY.
Roanoke Rapids Stands Today as His
Living Monument.

| The announcement in Friday morn
ing's News and Observer of the
death of Captain Thomas l.. Emery
in Staunton, Va, came as distinct
shock to his many friends, who had
not heard that he wasill For many
years he was resourceful leader IN
public affairs in Halifax county, his
most enduring work being as lead
err in the utilization of the water
power Of the Roanoke and the build
ing up of the f1ourishing manufac-
ing town Of Roanoke Rapids, A
gentleman. who had known Captc.,
Emery long and well, writes this G
innate and Appreciation:
Major Thomas L. Emery, of We
don, ex-senator from Halifax, and
brave Confederate soldier, died
Thursday at Staunton, Va. His
death will come as a shock to his
many friends scattered all over this
State and Virginia. He has left his
impress upon the community where
he lived and wrought so long and
faithfully for its uplift. Of strong
convictions when convinced of the
righteousness Of his cause, he was
bold and always aggressive in his
opinion and action. To no man does
Halifax county owe q greater debt
of gratitude than to Major Emery.
Truly he was a Democrat militant.
In it's darkest hours he stood should
err to shoulder with the always la
mented Captain w. H. Kitchin, in
the forefront Of danger Few To-
calities ever had two such men at
one time.
Major Emery came out of the
war penniless. He had only his
trade as a timer, and there was
nothing for him to do. He devoted
his time to farming, and after a few
years of ceaseless toll, to merchan-
dising. He succeeded in everything
he undertook. Cool judgment, with
untiring industry and skill in bust
ness brought him at length to a large
landed estate, upon which he en-
ployed considerable capital and labor
The last few years of his useful life
were devoted to the building of the
now thrifty and progressive manu-
featuring town Of Roanoke Rapids
With a prophetic eye, he foresaw the
possibilities Of the Roanoke water
power and turned it to account A
town and factories with busy spin
dies literally sprang UP cut Of the
woods at his touch, and stands today
g living memorial to bis great grasp
of affairs and his restless energy.
"He always had large ideas, and
bent his wonderful industry to their
execution. He was a philanthropist
and stood with generous hands TO
dispense help to the needy poor.
He always stood ready to befriend
his friends and neighbors. He look
ed upon the rosy side of life and
carried it's burdens with a cheerful
heart. He had as many friends
among the high as among the lowly,
and they all frequently took his
wise counsel.

The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1910-11-03

Walking the seven miles from
Mosier to Hood River through the rain
Wednesday morning, A. W. Laiferty,
the strenuous Republican nominee for
Congress in this district, arrived here
and spent a day meeting Hood River
voters. Mr. Latferty has been making
a big campaign throughout eastern
Oregon and held a rousing meeting in
The Dalles Tuesday evening. He was
scheduled to be in Mosier and Hood
River yesterday and getting into
the former place on the morning local,
shortly after seven he spent several
hours greeting the people in the
village to the east.
Mr.. Lafferty found there was no
train coming to Hood River before
afternoon and not being able to find a
conveyance to bring him here, he
struck out along the O. Il. & N. on
foot and arrived here a little before
noon Mr.. Laiferty's decisive victory
in the primary was a surprise and he
is still gaining support throughout the
district. He says that things look very
bright for him in the eastern counties.
Mr.. Laiferty spent part Of the after
noon in the valley calling on relatives
in the Odell section. He did not
speak here formally as there had been
no meeting arranged. His throat is
much better and he will spend the
closing days of the campaign in Multi
nOmah county.

The territory to be annexed in this
bill is a narrow strip of land laying be-
tween the Clackamas River, Multno-
nah County line, Willamette River
and Mt. Hood.
Those opposing the annexation in
Oregon City have been trying to con-
vince the voters Of the state, and
especially the voters Of Multnomah
County, that this territory to be an
neXcd is almost barren waste with
very few county roads in it. The
People Of Oregon City think this
territory would be good thing to
hang on to, but poor thing for Multi
nomah County to annex. The terri
tory to be annexed is a rich piece Of
territory, with fairly good roads, well
settled with we'll to do people,
This territory to be annexed is fast
being cut into small tracts and lots
and selling from $50 to $1,000 per acre
some Of it adjoining the city Of Port
land. Every year there are more
property holders here, therefore, more
people being discommoded by being
compelled to go to Oregon City Ore
gon, to attend to their legal business.

asking you to lend a helping hand to
do what they cannot do without your
support. Vote 322 Yes.
