DEATH OF MIR. T. s. HARRISS.

Mr.. F. S. Harris, a well-known citi-
zen, died at his home near Scotland
Neck Thursday afternoon, June Goth,
1914, at the age of 40 years, 10 months
and 16 days.
He had a stroke of paralysis early
Tuesday morning from which he never
rallied. A physician was called, but
ne lfaa PASSED --14 ,raeetieel ~kill and no
one could do hm goiod. God in His wis
dom saw fit to call him from this world
Of troubles.
In 1898 on December 9th he was mar
ried to Miss Eulalia Terry of Bertie
county, and unto this happy union were
born five children, two Of which died in
their infancy.
| When quite young man he gave his
heart and service to his Maker and unit
ed with Nahala Presbyterian church,
and from then until his death was an
active and interested member of the
same.
His devotion as a husband, and his
Thoughtful and effectionate interest as
father was beautiful to behold. He
will not only be missed in his home, but
sadly missed in his church and com
munity.
May the One who doeth all things
we'll comfort the ones he had loved
and left and prepare them to meet him
in the !"Sweet By and By
He leaves a wife, three children and
one sister to mourn their loss.

When the Deutschland will return, or
whether it is planned to have her make
regular transatlantic trips, Mr.. Hiliken
would not say.
"This project was conceived,' he
said, "by German commercial interests
who wanted to reopen trade with the
United States. We need some of Ger
many s commodities and Germany needs
some of ours. It is purely a commercial
proposition and that is all there is to it..
The time has not yet come when Yep
pelins can cross the ocean, so these Bre-
men merchants thought they'd try a

course, all this time to insure the sue

Brought Valuable Chemicals.

New York, July 9.-The German
submarine Deutschland which entered
the Virginia capes today, carries about
100 tons of chemicals and dye stuffs con
signed to five New York houses, it was
announced here tonight.
The supplies are those most urgently
needed in the drug trade and to relieve
the shortage of dyes.
While the New York merchants kne"
the submarine was on her way, they ma"
little dclaved information regarding the

PLAN Community FAIR
TO Be Held this PLACE

A plan is on foot to hold gigantic
community fair in Scotland Neck this
fall which will eclipse anything YET
attempted in this section. Mr.. W A.
McMurray, county demonstration agent,
is promulgating the idea among the TO-
cal merchants and business men and the
farmers of the surrounding country, and
reports that he is meeting with much
encouragement.
1t is planned to hold the Scotland
Neck Community Fair Immediately af-
ter the Crowell Community Fair, which
was grand success last year and which
will be duplicated again this season.
The printer now has the copy for the
premium list for this fair and it looks
good.
| Mr.. McMurray asks this paper to
state that there will be meeting of
citizens next Monday afternoon at 4
Q CLOCK in the Mayors Office for the
purpose of taking the preliminary
steps, and a full representation is ex-
pected. Your presence is wanted, no
matter what your vocation in life may
be. Bring your friends.
When asked for an outline Of the
proposed fair, Mr. McMurray said
among other things that it is planned
to make this the greatest showing Of
fine live stock ever given in the State.
He said that it could easily be made
, a grand success if everybody co-opera-
tes.
Next issue of this paper will contain
r,ore information regarding the pro
posed fair. In the meantime, see the
) county agent and get to talking the
l matter over with your friends and
l neighbors.

knows too well that the lack of organi-
zation and work is only another way of
spelling disorganization and possible
disaster. Chairman Warren will take
rothing for granted and will endeavor
to secure larger majority than ever in
every county in the State. Each nom
i &c on the State ticket will take pride
j. seeing just how large a vote he can
poll.
Judge Francis D. Winston is holding
his first court this week as the success
sor of the late Judge PEBBLES, in nei-
ghboring county.
There is some difference of opinion as
to who will succeed Judge Winston as
| United States District Attorney. If
Revenue Collector J. William Bailey
wants it he will probably get it. In that
case Joseph F. Tayloe, at present clerk
to Senator Simmons Committee, may
be made collector, it is said. If Mr..
Bailey retains his present Office J. O.
Carr, of Wilmington, and Assistant
District Attorney Ernest Green, of New
Bern, will be among the strong proba-
bilities- for there are several other as,
pirants.
Judge Bond IS activities at Kinston
have apparently implicated some ''pro
minent and we'll to-do men, in the ly

to escape, and encouraging him to re

tective employed for the purpose hold

ed over the turn of affairs, reports stat
but Judge Bond doesn t seem to car
much about that.
State Chairman Warren states tina

U-BOAT QUIETLY SLIPPED

merchantmen, the Deutschland quietly
slipped into Chesapeake bay this morn

gan the last leg of her voyage, up the

Judge Bonds Fears.

Now that the "lynching investiga-
tion' is over and Mr.. Bost has finished
his ex parte reports of the affair, we
feel, that as the mouthpiece of this
community it behooves us to mention
a few Of the errors i'll judgment com
mitted by the court as they affect our
own people.
Judge Bond repeatedly stated in open
court that he was not afraid to perform
his duty. He was brave enough to re-
mark that he would not fear to conduct
the hearing "even in Greene county,
He spoke of the Opposition of the pa
pers,' he warned the sheriff against
possible attempts to steal the prison
ers, he missed no opportunity of impress
sing upon the spectators the high re-
gard he felt for his own courage in pre-
siding over the court.
There was absolutely no foundation
in fact for these fears. This commnn-
ity is law-abiding and fairly intelli-
gent There is no reason whatever for
any objection on the part of local peo-
pie to an investigation calculated to re-
lieve them of the stigma of a crime in
which they had no part. Judge Bond,
during his stay here was in no danger
Whatever of any injury, nor were any
Of the officers of his court.
So far as the opposition Of tho
papers is concerned, if there has, been
any such opposition expressed we have
failed to discover it and we believe that
we read our exchanges as closely as
does Judge Bond. Their reports of the
proceedings have been fair and unbias
ed, and they have made no editorial
comment whatever. They have not
showed the same anxiety to flattcr the
officials of the court has Mr.. Bost,
but they have given complete and i'm
partial reports of its proceedings.
The people of this section are the
a same kind of people as those Of any
s other part of the state. They have the
|, same respect for their servants on the
n bench They have no desire to 40
s Judge Bond any injury, and they cher
. ish no i'll will toward him. They do
e feel that his many expressions OF DIS
r like toward them and fear of injury
ii from them were an unwarranted re-
d Election upon their loyalty to their state
', and were, to say the least, unbecomine
e IN an officer Of such character and dig
nifty.
Judge Bond 9 duty in Kinston was
that of presiding magistrate at pre-
n Iiminary criminal hearing. In g1vlnt
ID vent to this evident dislike Of Lemon
1t and Greene county people he did nelthe
n himself nor the state any good.
IS Had Judge Bond been in any dange
during the investigation we should ad
Iy mire his bravery in facing it, thougl
re we should still have scant regard 10
his pubic compliments to himself OF
W that score. But in attempting to e1
1d plain now fearless he was, he has goD
le far to bseed i'll feeling against himse'
1t and his coust in the mnds off peopi
- who, until now, have always cherished
y the utmost respect both for the profun
1t tity of his legal knowledge and the fair
ness Of his decisions.-Knstoin News.

time since the recent unpleasantness
