Meyer has positively refused to make

The majority also abolished the
position of county attorney now filled

that it was useless to pay states at

No More CaPniValS.

Ohe City Fathers decided Thurs
day evening Wilson is done with
carnivals and they did the right
thing. 1t is now up to the carnivals
to see whether they can override
home rule and the wishes Of the
sovereign people Of this city who
nave the r.gnt to control their own
affairs 1t matters not how much the
State says they shall be licensed to
show here.
The truth Of the matter is that
State legislation regarding the tax
ing OF carnlvals is made for the pur-
pose of securing revenue for the
State should the municipality see
fit TO turn them in, but the State by
this act can not insist that Wilson
or any other town shall have carni-
walls or any other nuisance if it does
not want tnem.-W Wilson Times.

DAYTIME ROBBERY,
Home OF Rachael Bullock Entered by
Female Burglars.

Forcing their entrance into the
house of Rachael Bullock on Gall
Berry road while the owner was
preparing breakfast for the family
Of Mr. George Bryan on Church
street, Mandy Epps and Rachael
Jones fairly cleaned the home Of
wearing apparel and ather necessi-
ties of garb which they thought
they could find use for after once
making their getaway. After ran
sacking the house the burglaresses
broke open the trunk Of the occu-
pant Of the home and separated
therefrom everything they could
lay their hands on.
1t was not until about half past
ten in the morning that the owner
of the burglarized home was wised
up to the fact that every thread of
her highly priced Easter feathers
had been unlawfully taken; and that
with the exception Of the garments
on her back her next appearance at
the Holy Jumpers church would
have to resemble that of chocolate
coated September Morn.
Mandy Epps and Racnael Jones
who had often been seen lurking
about this home envying the fine
feathers of a more favored lady of
their own color, were at once sus-
pected. Patrollman Jones was
sought; PatroIman Jones was put
heft to the facts surrounding this
dastardiy deed; Patro]lnan Jones

Ii ,nth Of a millometer of the chance

ike listeners; PatroIIman Jones ever
on the alert, after getting an earfull
OF cues, got into communication
with the authorities at Hobgood
ovef the telephone. Mr.. Henry
NIite happened to be this authority.
The SAID Mr.. White rushed over to
the station and after leap3ng into a
baggage coach OF train that was
standing but eager to leave, search
ed the cars until he found his party
and 10! anu behold! there was Rach-
aeI and Mandy with their stolen
goods right wifi 'em" He at
once notified PatroIlman Jones that
he had the guilty parties; whereupon
Patrollman Jones hailed a passing
,axi and in a few minutes had his
prisoners facing the bar of justice
before magistrate A. C. Liverman.
They we've found guilty, bound over
to court and placed under a $3.50
bond. They were then placed in the

DROWNED IL A WE'LL.
A Sad Accident al Roanoke Rapids gn
Easter Monday.

Roanoke Rapids. April 14.-After
repeated cries for help after he had
fallen into an old we'll while hunting
Easter eggs Monday, the four-year-
old son Of MIR. and Mrs. J. H. Mat
kins, Of Roanoke Rapids, was drown
ed by falling into an old we'll covered
by decayed boards which the infart
unsuspectingly tried to walk over.
Several Of the ladies who we, G
present heard the child's cries for
help, and rushing to where his cries
came from they found the little fel-
low in the well. They tried to bring
him to the top with the bucket which
was used to draw water, but finally
exhausted both the boy and them
selves. At one time the little boy
was almost to the top of the we'll cling
ing to the bucket, but his strength
was gone, and when nearly in reach
Of the ones drawing him up he let
loose and fell back into the we'll.
1t was then about fifteen minutes
before other help could be summon
ed to the child's rescue; and when
help did come it was found that it
was too late, that he was drowned. {.
DR.. Long was hurried to the unfor-
tunate little boy, but his efforts
proved futile, as 1t is believed the
child was dead when taken from
the well.
The whole town Of Roanoke Rap
ids was shocked to learn of the un-
timely fate of Mr.. and Mrs. Mat
kin's little boy, and expressions Of
sympathy to the bereaved parents
came from the whole community in
y hlcn the unfortunate little boy
lived. Tonight in Roanoke Rapids
the joyous tide Of Easter is calmed
with sorrow for the parents in the
loss Of their little boy.

Good For North Carolina.

Returns to-day from the Alabama
primary indicate that Oscar w. I'm
derWood, chairman Of the ways and
means committee Of the hous, was
elected to the Uuited States senate
over Congressman Richmond Pear
son Hobson by majority of be-
tween Is and $4,000. This means
that Congressman Claude Kitchin of
North Carolina will succeed Mr.. I'm
derwood as chairman Of this COM
mittee and succeed to the leader
ship of the house unless precedent
is upset. We do not believe the
precedent will be broken.
With the. promotion of Mr.. Kitchin
North Carolina will have the unique
distinction of having the chairmen
of the two most important commit
tees in the national congress, Sena-
tor Simmons being head of the fl
nance committee of the senate. No
state, when MIR. Kitchin heads the
ways and means committee, will
WELD the influence in national legis-
lation that North Carolina will weld
Practically all of our congressman,
by reason of long service, have won
important places on committee, and
mention OF an important matter is
usually synonymous with the name
of one of our representatives.
1t may be too early to congratu-
late the state on Mr.. Underwood s
election to the senate, but the indi-
cations are that the democratic floor
leader has worsted Mr.. Hobson and
that he will take a foremost place
IN the senate. MIR. Underwood, ii
may be SAID, will add power to the
most august legislation body in the
world.-Raleigh Times, April Z.
