Next spring when the Pittsburgh
Pirates go south for the annual train
ing trip, Swacina, who a few years
ago wore an Islander uniform, will
be one of the members of the party.
His work at Mobile, both in the field
and with the stick, has again attract
ed the attention Of the Pittsburghers
and he will be given another trial for
the position. A few years ago, Harry
was with the Pirates but he persisted
in trying to run the aggregation and
so had to be cut loose. He then came
to Rock Island and then went to Mo
bile in the Southern league. Vincent
Campbell, who played with Decatur
when 'Swats" was with the team,
will be another candidate for the in
itial sack position and he and Harry
will have a tussle to see who wins.
Both are good players and good hit
tiers and one of the pair will prob
ably fill the weak spot in the Pirate
lineup.

State N. & |. College.

We desire to call attention to the
advertisement Of the State Normal
and Industrial College which appears
in this issue. Every year shows a
steady growth in this institution de-
voted to the higher education of the
women of,North Carolina.
The College last year had total
enrolment of 900 students. Eighty
seven of the ninety-eight counties of
the State had representatives in the
student body. Nine-tenths of ali the
graduates of this institution have
taught or are now teaching in the
schools of North Carolina.
The dormitories are furnished by
the State and board is provided at
actual cost. Two hundred appoint
ments with free tuition, apportioned
among the,several counties accord
ing to school population, will be
awarded to applicants about the
middle of July. Students who wish
to attend this institution next year
should make application as early as
possible, as the capacity of the dor
mitnries ia limited.

WIEN JACKSON DIED.
Nothing But the Surrender Gave Rich.
m0nd Such a Shock.

Nothing in the war, perhaps, ex-
cepting the surrender, ever struck
Richmond with such stunning force
as the announcement of Stonewall
Jackson's fall, of the amputation of
his arm and finally of his death, fol-
lowing the Charlottesville battle.
Even the brilliant victory of our
arms was placed in total eclipse by
this irreparable loss. From the first
when the shy Puritan professor Of
the Virginia Military Institute had
startled the armies by his extraordi-
nary daring and military skill. Jack
son had taken hold Of the popular
mind and as a supreme favofite.

HGE The Dog Law Would EoIk.

CASTOR county, by the grace Of the
legislature, has a dog tax. An OBJ
servant citizen coming through Gas
ton to Charlotte yesterday learned
some facts at Dallas. In the town
ship Of Dallas the assessors are said
to have found one thousand dogs.
The tax is 81 90 each. Some owners
have killed their dogs rather than
pay tax on them. And this goes to
show how a dog law would work
throughout the State. It is est.na-
ted that the dog tax will bring into
the CASTOR county treasury Sc, 600,
and even at that some Of the dogs
may have escaped.
There is also a feeling in CASTOR
as in ether counties, that the proper
ty tax under the new plan OF assess
nent, will be increased about forty
per cent. This large increase OF tax
values may create considerable dis
satisfaction, unless there is better
ment in showing as to extension OF
good roads and schools to offset ii.
But the main point is the dog tax.
Think of the man who would kill his
dog rather than pay tax of $1.OC
-on the dog! And yet that is the way
it would work. If the State had Z
good, strong dog law, it would mean
flock of sheep to where it now has
one dog. As the situation now stands
one cur dog offsets flock Of sheep.
Ism t it time to reverse the situation?

Our Property.

We owe our prosperity not to our
own efforts, but to the high st0nd-
ards of intelligence, efficiency and
prosperity on the part of the people
as a whole. We live in better homes,
eat more wholesome food, wear bet
ter clothing, have more leisure and
recreation, endure less bitter toll; in
short, we find human life fairer and
sweeter than our fellowmen in Asia,
not because you Or IS individuals
deserve 50 much better than Trey,
but because Of our richer racial
heritage. We have been born into
a society where higher level Of
prosperity obtains, where a mans
labor and effort count for more. -

outside Of Chicago was hearing can
didates for its vacant pulpit, and, as
customary, these applicants for, the
position of soul saver were guests
over Sunday of the various church
officers.
Deacon Green, who was the pro-
prietor of the only hardware store
in town, had been notified that the
candidate for the following Sunday
would be quartered at his home, but
had forgotten all about it.
Saturday morning an athletic
looking young man, carrying grip,
entered the store, and, asking for

North Carolina is a great State, q
great State in territory as we'll as in
a great many other things. From
the Sanford Express we take the
following concerning the size Of
our State:
Few of US realize what a wide
spreading domain North Carolina is
1t is larger than England. 1t has
SO, ,25O square miles Of territory. It's
length from Currituck county in the
east to Cherokee county in the west
is SOB miles. If a National Maga-
zine man will put string down on
the sands of the sea at the eastern
end of the former county and stretch
it across the mountains of the west
ern end Of the latter, and, hitching
one end of the string to Currituck,
carry the other end due north, it
will land him in the middle Of Lake
Champlain, in New York State, cross
ing Virginia, Maryland. New Jersey
Deleware and more than half of the
Empire State. North Carolina is
longer than from Asheville to Chi
cago, or from Sanford to Buffalo.
Its breadth is 1888 miles at the widest
point. 1t has 100 counties, the larg-
est in square miles being Robeson
with 1000, and the smallest, New
Hanover, with less than $50. Ii
produces a greater variety Of pro
duets than any Of the sisterhood c1
States. The first Declaration of In
dependence was proclaimed on its
soil and it has led in many other
things, always doing its duty alike
in peace and in war. Just now the

BANK OF TARBORO SUSPENDS.
Cashier |. Y. Hart Commits Suicide and
Assistant E. B. HuSSey in Jail.
TIE SHORTAGE WELL OVER Sloo, 600.

Rocky Mount, N. c., June 16.-It
is probable that the Bank of Tarboro
will indefinitely suspend activities as
result of the shortage in the ac-
count of Cashier Luther V. Hart,
who on yesterday blew his brains
out rather than face embarrassment,
and Assistant Cashier E. B. Hussey
is now in the Edgecombe Jail await
ing trial, because as yet he has been
unsuccessful in raising a bond of
$4,000.
Around one hundred thousand
dollars in the shortage that the bank
examiner and his assistant have dis
covered and it now appears that it
will require several days before the
final statement can be issued.
The assistant cashier has confessed
to taking over twelve thousand dol
lars, though he has caused all his
property to be given over to the
bank, and weeping, states that he is
"glad the suspense is over" and
he knew it had to come.
According to the confession Of
Hussey the larceny had been going
on for seven years, but until Wed
nesday they had been successful in
keeping the fact under cover.
1t now appears that depositors will
realize only small per cent and the
stockholders are hit hard.
This bank was closely connected
with several manufacturing enter
prises and the report is being anX-
iously awaited to note any embar-
rassment this heavy failure may
cause.
This evening at o'clock the fu-
neral Of the dead cashier was held
from the Methodist church, after
which interment was made in the
cemetery in Tarboro. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev.
McWhorter.
It is said that the dead cashier has
insurance to the amount of $35, 600,
Or thereabouts, and that he was
bonded for $4,000.
Where this money has gone has
been a matter Of much speculation,
though it is generally conceded that
living beyond his income throughout
the seven years over which the short
age extended has been the cause Of
the trouble. Il is not generally
thought that stock speculation play
ed any part in the matter.

RULE TO PROTECT WITNESSES.
Good Rule Adopted by The Baltimore
Supreme Court.

In adopting the rule recommended
by the bar association for the pro-
lection of Witnesses, the supreme
bench Of Baltimore has instituted an
important reform. The order issued
is as follows:
All witnesses, while under ex-
animation before any judge, are en-
titled to his protection against un-
necessary discourtesy or annoyance,
and therefore coun: Il will not be per-
mitted to subject them to degrad-
ing, insulting or vexatious ques-
tions, except so far as the judge may
consider such Interrogation reasona-
bly, proper for the elucidation Of the
truth, for the detection of falsehood
or fraud concerning matters relevant
to the issue or trial, or to test the
credibility Of the testimony of such
witnesses r5velent thereto"
All who attend the courts have
seen unscrupulous attorneys bully
witnesses and insult respectable men
and women by asking questions and
making insinuations designed to dis
credit them in the eyes of the judge
and jury. Some lawyers take a pride
in turning a witness inside out"
and are never satisfied until they
have Inundated every one who tes-
tifes for the opposition. The man
on the stand is helpless, while TIE
lawyer is shielded by his position as
an officer of the court. Many an
impudent attorney would be soundly
thrashed by a witness if he should
address outside the court room the
remarks in which he INDUCES with
impunity while the witness is on the
stand. Half the time this bullying
is not resorted to 10 get the truth,
but to confuse the witness when he
is attempting to tell the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth to the best OF his ability. It
does not so often aid in getting at
the facts, but it does in defeating
the ends of justice.
Occasionally a witness, goaded be-
yoiid eEourance, turns upon his per-
secutor and makes a laughing stock
Of him. Gid court attendants re-
call the case of the lawyer who de-
manded that the witness answer
merely yes" or mo-" contending
that there was no question that
could not be answered by one word
or the other. The witness offered
to PROFOUND a query that the attor-
ney would not answer by either
yes or mo" He asked him,
"Mr. Lawyer, have you stopped
beating your wife?''
But in most instances the witness
has to grin and hear it, and the pro-
cess has driven many man to anger
and many a woman to tears. In
some cases innocent witnesses have
had their reputation in the commu-
nifty damaged when the tongues of
gossip were set to waggiug by some
insinuation welded in a lawyer S
questions, and there is no repara-
ton for the damage done.-Balti-
