WILLIE BELL PAYS DEATH PENALTY
Murdered Mr.. B. N. Mann, Merchant,
Of Durham, March 6; Co.'S
feSSed to Crime.

With a half-uttered prayer on his
lips, Willie Bell, the negro murderer
of Mr.. B. N. Mann, of Durham. died
in the electric chair at 1890 o'clock
Thursday morning, the first to be
electrocuted on Thursday in the his
tory of the state. The execution
chamber at the states prison was
crowded when the young negro was
led in, preceded by his spiritual ad-
visers. One shock was sufficient to
produce death and in less than five
minutes from the time he entered
he was carried out, feet foremost, to
the undertaker's conveyance.
The crime for which Bell paid the
life penalty was committed in Dur
ham on March 6. With the avowed
object of robbery he met Mr.. B. N.
Mann returning to his home from
his store and struck him a terrific
blow with a billiard cue. Then he
rifled the pockets of the PROSTATE
man. Mann, however. was dead and
the finding of the broken cue stick
was the clue upon which the officers
worked in ferreting out the MUIR
derer. Bell confessed to the crime
shortly after his arrest. saying that
his intention was robbery and not
murder.
Il would not give my faith this

PRAYER and Worship.

Prayer and worship, although
often used in the same sense, have
widely different meanings. The
first is in a measure prompted by
feelings not altogether devoid of
selfishness, when the petition is for
personal favors, while the last is in
spired by a realization of benefits
received and should be an expression
of gratitude and generation. While
I believe that the latter is the high
est means of expanding and exalt-
ing the soul the first seems an ever
present help in time of trouble, but
neither should ever be degraded to
the level of an unthinking custom.
Prayer is privilege, worship is a
debt. The farmer we may use, the
latter we should pay, but both to be
true and helpful must be spontane-
GUS.

TO HELP NORTH CAR.
DINA.
Publicity Bureau at Wo.k-To De-
velop Our State by Bringing
People Among Us, Etc.


The N. C. State Publicity Bureau,
temporary organization of which was
effected at meeting of some 70 of
the states most progressive men at
Raleigh Thursday. June 18th, is less
than a week old but is already re-
ceivlng the strong endorsement of
thinking men in every part of North
Carolina, evidenced in expressions
of the press and letters from indi-
viduals. This endorsement is given
on the general plan of the organiZa-
ton as published from Raleigh fol-
lowing the meeting-to set on foot
a campaign of publicity that will
place before the people of the out
side world a true representation of
this states matchless resources and
advantages, agriculturally and in
dustrially, to the settler and investor.
1t is believed that still stronger
endorsement will be given when the
full import of this work is under
stood. The object of the State Blu
reau, as set forth in full in the plan
of organization follows:
LIST. To study the needs, resources
and community progress of the
state by sections.
End. To secure and create such
publicity as will promote the devel-
opment of North Carolina by bring
ing people of thrift and industry to
us, especially to our agricultural
lands.
3rd. To acquaint people in one
section of the state with advantages
and progress in other sections.
4th. To aid in offering homes at
fair and reasonable prices and pro-
tect progressive settlers from unjust
spectators and false representa-
tiO..s
S. To assist each section in secur-
ing the class of settlers suitable to
that locality.
! 9th. To cooperate with local COM
| munity organizations and civic or
CARNATIONS. railroads and any other
organization, corporation or individ-
+; uals interested in promoting the
purpose set forth.

The Edenton Tea Party One of Great
American Events.

The following account of the Eden
ton Tea Party is adapted from JUS
tice Clark's address published in
N. C. Booklet of April, 1909:
On the twenty-fifth of October,
1774, fifty-one patriotic ladies of
Edenton met and adopted resolutions
to abstain from not only tea on which
the stamp tax was laid, but any
British goods until the unjust and
odious tax was repealed. 1t was a
good act, a brave act. 1t was trea-
son, for it defed a law of Parlia-
ment. 1t was even more dangerous,
for it assailed the profits of the
British manufacturers for whose
profits the colonies were governed.
In a London paper of the 18th of
January 1776, are the names of the
fair and patriotic signers: Abigail
Charlton, Mary Blount, F. Johnston,
Elizabeth Creacy, Margaret Cath

Larger Quarters.

The Manufacturers Club is to
have handsomer and more commo-
dious quarters in the near future
This decision was reached at a called
meeting of the members of that or
ganization last week, and the only
matter left open was whether the
present building should be retained
or quarters in another be secured.
A committee was appointed to thor
oughly 60 into the question and re-
port at meeting of the club next
Thursday night. when it will be
definitely settled.

statement dictated yesterday morn
ing to Rev. James Satterwhite. who
has been ministering to him as a
spiritual adviser during his confine-
ment in death row. Il am willing

kind to me and I bid them all good
bye. have nothing against any,
one.
Just before he was summoned to
the death chamber yesterday morn
ing, Bell asked the privilege of bid
ding farewell to the other prisoners
with whom he had been confined.
This was granted. To all the cells
accessible he went, saying his fare
wells and urging the prisoners to re-
pent of their sins and be saved.
He had asked that the song, "Je-
sus Paid 1t All' be sung at the exc
cution chamber, and Rev. r. Spiller,
colored minister of Durham, raised
the hymn as soon as Bell stepped
into the room. Rev. James Satter-
white was reading the Scripture
while the straps were being fastened
around the ankles and the wrists.
What was that last verse you
read?" asked Bell, interruptine.
Lord Jesus, have mercy upon
me-" repeated the preacher.
Yes, that's right. | don't want
to forget it. Lord Jesus, have

The Armfeld Memorial Win
dow.
The Armfield Memorial window
is in place at the First Baptist
church and it is truly a work of art
and admired by all. The window
was given by Mr.. w. j. Armfield
and sons and daughters in loving
memory of their wife and mother.
The window is SKIS feet and locat-
ed in the south wall of the church.
1t is after the Roman style with
English cantpy and column design.
The Bible. cross and crown and
lamp are featured.
The left panel has as its central
decoration the open book in circle,
surrounded by conventional day
lilies, the center one has the crown
with five jewels (this being appro-
pirate as Mrs. Armfeld had five
children), back of this the cross with
day lilies and the beautiful Gala or
Egyptian lilies forming a conven-
tional decoration. Gala lilies were
a favorite flower of Mrs. Arm6eld's,
some bulbs from the same plant be-
ine kept by her for 80 years.
Below the cross and crown design
are three scrolls, on the upper two
smaller ones being the words, God
is Love-" and on the lower one, In
Memoriam Jennie Britt Arm6eld."
The right panel has as its central
design lamp in a circle, thus the
three main motifs typifying the life
of her in whose memory this was
made, the light of the world of God
shining in her path as her guide till
she gained the reward of a crown
The coloring of the window is ex
quisitely soft and lovely, the design |
is harmonious and reflects credit on
the Standard Mirror Company, whose
work it is. and on T. A. Cubit. of
that company, who designed it. 1t
will add much to the beauty of the
church, besides serving as a con-
slant reminder of the life which in
spired its conception.

Empire was destroyed or the predomi- nant idea in Germany of the efficacy of military force was crushed.
 MT. Harding says that the action of Great Britain in declaring cotton contra band of war Is due entirely to the fact that science has in recent years shown the way in which cotton can become the basis of explosives and particularly of the kind of explosive which Germany has so effectively made use of. It takes great deal of cotton to manufacture ex- plosives. MT. Harding illustrates by the statement that every time battleship of the type of the Queen Elizabeth goes into action 12 bales of cotton are con- stunned in the form of explosives.
 Since the men of science and the gov ernments which employ them have been able to maintain secrecy respecting the use of cotton for explosive purposes it has been impossible to get any estimate of the amount used for that purpose. MT. Harding says that the estimates vary from 6O0000 bales to 3,000,000 bales a year. Since Great Britain Is fighting desper- ately she, as a war measure. seeks to prevent Germany from obtaining ma terial which Is necessary for the manu- facture of explosives. Therefore. MT. Harding intimates. Great Britain is com- pelled to declare cotton contraband. MT. Harding says that Germany Is as anxious to get cotton as the allies are to prevent her. This Is the first authoritative and almost official explanation of the reason why England had declared cotton con- traband that has been made and 1t jus tises the inference that MT. Harding is persuaded that England Is we'll within her rights when she takes this action. It remains. therefore, in his view, for the United States. through those who control great financial resources, to protect the southern cotton planter as far as possible against loss.

When so much is being said for and against preparedness, the fostering of military spirit in boys becomes a se- rious problem, for after all it Is to the boy that the state must look if it con- siders war.
 Considering the economic side of the question first, the school is put to the expense of uniforms and the necessary materials, such as guns. ammunition. etc, to carry on a drill. The drill is expen- sive and must be paid for by taxation. It's cost will use the money that is needed for the introduction and establishment of some neglected manual or industrial branch of education.
 Drills are dangerous and have already resulted in death upon the drill ground.
 The drill has no physical advantage as it has been known to lead to constrained positions as the closely localized move ments do not afford the essential re- quisites for developing muscles. Col. Thomas E. Edmands. in writing of the physical benefits derived from the drill. says: Tn Boston the effect of the school drill has been to make boys round-shoul- dered and narrow-chested never saw a school company well set up in my life.
