NEGRO IN DANGER.
II Year Old Girl Relates Story Which
Results in Near Lynching.

Salisbury, \. c.. Oct. 10--The Post
learns Of an affair near Albermarle
early this week that stirred that en-
tire community. The facts as far as
could be gathered are as follows:
A ~ year old daughter of Mr.
Travis Coggins. well-to-do farmer
living three miles from Albermarlc
en- the AlbcrnIarle-Baden public road
was alone in the field some distance
from the house when a negro man
approached and grabbed her. The
report is that he accomplished his
purpose and made his escape. He was
afterward caught and placed in jail
at Albermarle and when there were
signs Of trouble brewing the sheri~
spirited the prisoner away but not
many minutes before a mob gather
-, marched to the Jail. Here the
members we're addressed by leading
citizens and asked to let the law take
its course. and assured them that he
was not in the prison. They would
not believe and delegation from
the mob was taken through the jail
in order to satisfy them. Not finding
the prisoner they were satisfied and
so informed the others and the as
semblage soon dispersed.
The first report was to the effect
that the child was in critical condi-
ton and not expected to live but a
telephone message to the Post stat
ed that she is not in any serious dams
err, also that it is now stated that the
brute did not successfully accomplish
his desire. Excitement in Albermarie
was high for time and had the prls-
oner not been removed by the au-
thorities there would in all probabil-
ity have been a lyncLinS. aas

READING THE ADVERTISE
MENTS.

1t used to be Eli old time joke, that
some people were so fond of newspa-
pers that they even read the adj
vertisements.
That might have been a humorous
remark years ago. At that period,
some merchants would run an adver-
tisement for a whole year unchang-
ed Clothing dealers would start in
advertising January first with no
tice of overcOats for sale, and would
still keep it running in July.
Today people read the advertising
as a matter of business. The wo-
men read it just as a farmer reads
his price current or a banker reads
the financial news. They thereby
get ideas as to how they can save
on household or personal expenses,
Probably a majority of the women
turn first to the advertising of their
favorite merchants, and then read
the news later.
The men also read the advertis--
ing carefully. Even if they have no
business concerns of their own, they
are interested in the advertising as
a reflection of the business life of
the town.
Hence, it is perhaps unnecessary
to suggest to the readers of this
newspaper that its advertising col
umns are worthy of the most care
| full attention. They are giving that
attention to these notices now.
Still it is worth while to say that
there is no time when advertising
is worth such careful attention as
in midsummer. All kinds of mer-
chants have the proposition before
| them of cleaning out their stocks be
fore cool weather comes on. That
takes a good deal of publicity. The
goods won't move Of themselves. The
public must be told about them and
in some detail.
The story of what is happening in
the stores will be found in the adver
Using columns of this newspaper
Most of the newspaper readers are
seeing it, and it viii repay their
closest scrutiny.

DOGS ARE ALSO A NUISANCE

Having read read the article in
last nights Reporter about cats as
a public nuisance, / want to say a
few words about the stray dogs. whic
are to be found in almost every
neighborhood
The tramp cats are certainly an
annoyance but they have to hunt
their food and so are more efficient
in getting of rats and yermin than
the pet cat"
Although they are nuisance, and
we could t'get along" with fewer
numbers of them, they serve pur--
pose.
But what about the gaunt, ugly
''houn' dog which eats the chick
ems feed, runs through the garden
destroying flower ana vegetable
snaps at the children and is continu-
ally at the kitchen door ready to
seize everything which may be set
out to cool?
These dogs are almost universally
without tags or collars to show who
the owners are.
They are really, we think, public
nuisance, of no use to themselves or
any one of US; and besides the an
noyance they cause, there is real dan
ger now that the hot weather has
come.

OUT OFT HE GINGER JAR

A love match demonstrates that
many a fellow has kindled the flame
Of passion without setting the world
on fire
It's all right to take care of the
pennies, but at the same time it
isn't always the sense of humor that
makes the dollars.
If the average man could only sell
the advice he gives away it would
keep him busy counting his coin
One good thing about music is that
it never comes out at the little end
of the horn
Some men are born with black eyes
and others have to fight for them
The world is full of knockers and
the average man is looking for some
other fellow to be his anvil.
A man sprinting away from his OPP
portunities proves that the race is
not always to the swift.

ARRIDGlNG THE LAWS DELAYS.

When the Supreme Court of the
United States adjourned for July and
August, it left but IA cases undecid-
ed. 1t gave out 591 judgments since
last fall. There has been a popular
impression that the court was slow,
but this record indicates that the
movement for abridging the laws de
lays is bearing fruit
To the lawyer, legal delays are part
of the days work. The fact that a
clients case has gone over to an
other court term does not bother him
He may rather rejoice at the post
ment, as giving him more chance to
collect winning evidence. Also ii
gives the other side a chance to per
feet their game.
To the business man, however ,liti-
cation is a most harassing Interrupt
ton. The losses are not measured
simply in adverse judgments and
fees of lawyers and sheriffs. Equally
serious are the worry and uncertain
ty of the thing.
Once the business man crosses the
threshold of the court, he feels
ground through a machine whose for
Ces he can not calculate, nor can he
accelerate it's progress. The only, way
to affect it is to throw sand into the
cogs and cause a stoppage. A day in
court worries the average merchant
or manufacturer more than weeks of
ordinary business grind.
The business man simply can't I'M
derstand why court work needs to
drag along so Unfortunately. If the
spirit Of the business world We're to
prevail, no case would remain final
Iy unjudged year.
One of the causes of depressed
business is no doubt the long time it
is taking to clean up the Sherman
antitrust law cases now pending in
the various courts. 1t is good news
that the Supreme Court, perhaps
feeling the criticism of the laws de
lays proceeding from the best legal
authorities as we'll as from the bust
ness world, is making a serious eff
fort to expedite business.

The cereal habit has enormously in

GET RID OF THE FLY.

Remember the old adage: can
ounce Of prevention is worth a pound
of cure" and swat the fly. If the
insidious little insect that yearly
causes a depletion in the ranks of
good, healthy American citizens by
it's capability and capacity for carry
ing disease germs were swatted UP
on it's initial appearance in the
homes every spring we would soon
have normal health conditions once
more as in the days of our forefath-
ers.
True, there are many other sour
ces for disease to be carried be
sides the fly. but he is the chief one
and right now is the time to wage
war upon him At this time of the
year the eggs are being laid where
by millions more will be Matched out
by summer If they are killed at this
stage the benefit gained is many
fold greater than the same slaughter
a month later.
When the people can be made to
understand that it actually costs
more in time ard money to travel
over a poor rosd than it does to
travel over a good one, they will be
less inclined to begrudge the ex-
pense of good roads, and what is
more important still, will be willing
and anxious to put the business of
road making into the hands Of intel
ligent men who understand the bus
mess. Poor roads are the expensive
things that curse a country district
