votes, Mr.. Aycock says the joke was
too good to see interrupted while the
voting was in process He thinks it
illustrates the average negro's fitness
for the exercise of the franchise, and

educated electorate.
Thus in brief is given an outline of
the life of one of Wayne county's first
citizens, Barnes Aycock, a man of
magnificent intellect, one of those al
together too rare characters whose
religion is debt paving religion, a
citizen who has done fine large share

1T IS RUSHED THROUGH.

Raleigh, March 1.-The Carter-Aber-
nethy committee went into another
executive session this afternoon and
discussed the procedure in the pro-
posed inquiry.
The letter of Judge Carter to the
people of the state did much to bring
the case to immediate action. The
sympathy is almost wholly with him
in the demand for an early hearing
the reasons that he gave being used
as perfectly just ones, Beth Judge
Carter and Solicitor Abernethy are
stopping at the same hotel, but they
have not been together today.
When the committee met this after
noon it found that it had no powers
and prepared a resolution for tonight
which will govern the hearing. Al
10:30 tonight the house passed this
resolution and sent it by special mes
senger to the senate which Immediate
ly put it on its several readings.
The resolution provides that mem
bers shall have all the powers give1
by law to investigating committees tt
employ counsel, fix compensation anG
supoena witnesses, allowing witnesse:
per diem of $3.50 with 8 cents fol
mileage. The members of the com
mittee shall receive the same per dien
as members of the general assembly
] Unless otherwise ordered the com
mittee will sit in Raleigh and the hear
ings will be public. 1t shall be th'
sole judge of the competency of wit
nesses and may refuse to order wit
ness fees for testimony that Is not ma
terial. Witnesses receive pay only fo
days at the hearing.

The premier prefaced the reading OF
his statement with these words:
"The statement declares in suffic-
iently plain and unmistakable terms
the view we take, not only OF our
rights but of our duties.
The statement is as follows:
Germany has declared that the

area, and has officially notified that
all enemy ships found in that area
will be destroyed and that neutral yes

may be tried, where the regularity OF

 After reading this generous and en- couraging report from Mir Weeks, those who have the misfortune to suf- fer, as he dId will naturally long to get similar relief, But to get the same good as Mr. Weeks had. you should get the same remedy. There are of course, other kidney pills but there are no other kidney pills the same as Deans That IS why Prescott peo pie demand the genuine.
 w, M. Weeks, blacksmith, Prescott, says: About d year ago, had to stop work for time, owing to weak kidneys. My back pained me and on st0eping to shoe horses, l had sharp pains across my loins. Often my an kies became swollen and the flesh under my eyes putfed up. My kidneys acted irregularly and the kidney secretions were scanty. couldn't sleep well and was very nervous. After using a ,ooX of Doans Kidney Pills, procured at Hesterly's Drug Store, was able to work without pain in my back. My kidneys are in good shape now.

MANIAC FATHER KILLS
SON AND DAUGHTER
Shoots Them in Their Beds,
Then Fires at His Wife, Who
Escapes.

GRoToN, Mass. July 10. - Harry B.
Nutting, a well-known farmer and busi-
ness man of this town, early today shot
and killed his son Everett, 20. and daugh-
ter Louise, %, while they lay in bed.
Nutting later surrendered himself. The
reason given for the shooting Is insanity
Nutting first went to the room of his
son and shot the young man as he lay
asleep. Then he went to the adjoining
room occupied by his daughter, She had
been awakened by the shots that killed
her brother, but had not had time tc
leave the bed. The father, standing In
the doorway, fired polntblank at her and
she died instantly.
Mrs. Nutting had been awakened by thc
shots and, going to her daughters room
saw the girl killed. She fled just as her
husband fired at her. His shots missed
fire. Dressed only in her night dress she
escaped from the house unlnjured and in
her bare feet, walked to a neighbours
house.
