MASQUERADER
SCARES WOMEN

The first person, man, woman
Or child, who sees a strange man
on the streets Of Scotland Neck,
dressed in long black coat reach
ing to his feet, or il may be a wu-
man s skirt, with a veil or shawl
around his shoulders, or over his
head, should at once let an outcry
SO that arrest may be made.
1t would seem that this masoun-
radIng several night, is the act of
q crazy man, as there is no cxplana
ton showing a reason for it, bur
all the same it must be stopped as
he has already scared several wo-
men.
Sunday night this was observed
on Roanoke street, about ten o.
clock, and scared some women and
children. The desert ption then
given was that he was dressed in
women s clothes, had veil over
his head and looked to be about
seven feet tall.
At midnight recently Mr.. Spen-
Ger Wommack was called out by
someone who asked him if he
knew that woman was sleeping
IN the office of his gin house. He
thought the matter was joke.
Last night about nine thirty
this masqueraded entered the back
door Of a house on Roanoke street
and was asked by the lady Of the
house, who was sitting in the re
ceptiOn hall what he wanted. He
replied by asking whether she was
alone, which the lady denied
whereupon the masquerader said
trouble follows me- and step
per back out into the rain, after
,,e had thrown the veil over his
head.
The description now given Of
the man was that he is a stranger
in town, is fully six feet tall, quite
slender in build, smooth shaven
face, red complexion, and wore
a close fitting hat or bonnet. He
had on either a long coat that
reached to his feet or a woman 5
black skirt, a garment at least
that reached to his ankles, and a.
round his shoulder he has a shawl,
or veil, which, when he had utter
ed the words trouble follows me ;
he threw over his face.
This is too. serious a matter to
overlook, and, whilst the chief of
police is keeping close watch for
this crazy man, it is the duty of

sion on the Roanoke river bridge
question yesterday afternoon in
the court house Tarboro, at which
large delegations were present
from Martin, Pitt, Northampton,
BERTHE, Wilson, Edgecombe and
seventy five leading business men
from Scotland Neck, it is inter
esting to receive this morning ii
letter from Chief Justice Walter
Clark, which endorses Scotland
Neck s demand for a bridge at or
near Norfleets. Judge Clark s let
ter is here given in full.
1.-The value Of a live, active
newspaper in any community is
shown by the splendid support
you are giving to the movement
to erect bridge across the Roa-
noke River. A movement that the
enterprising, public spirited, bus
mess men of Scotland Neck have
taken in hand is sure to succeed.
They know the value the bridge
will be and how to secure it.
1t may be necessary to have
an act Of congress to authorize
bridge across d manageable river
unless there is a general statue
already to that purpose But for
tunately your distinguished fell
low citizen, Hon. Claude Kitchin
is in congress and can secure the
prompt passage Of the act, if one
is necessary.
Scotland Neck does not stand
alone, for the people of Tarboro,
Of Edgecomb, Of Wilson, and Of
Rocky Mount are equally interest
ed in this bridge as the shortest
route for them to Norfolk. and
the people Of Northampton. upper
BERTHE and Of Hertford are al,
most as deeply interested.
This letter is very timely COM
ing as it does directly on the heels
of a rather exciting meeting yes
terday in Tarboro, where another
similar proposition was attempted
to be foisted upon the Halifax
plan, and making both win or fail
together.
This was not permitted, and in
stead Of having committees of all
eastern counties, which had no in
terest whatsoever in the bridge
across at Norfleets, motion by
Mr.. A. Paul Kitchin was passed
by which the chairman Of the
meeting appointed a committee off
three from each Of the counties in
terested Northampton Bertie and
Halifax, to obtain data to put be-
fore the county commissioners Of
Edgecomb and Wilson to gain
their support and financial aid
towards building a bridge at Nor

of42he meeting which was opened
by an address Of welcome bv Solic

and w. G. Clark, Of Edgecomb.
The meeting was handled with
considerable diplomacy by the
chairman and there was the ut
most cordiality displayed.
Mr. Kitchin met with considera-
bic applause when he stated that
Halifax county was ready, its
county commissioners had already
sanctioned and would guarantee
the necessary amount Of bonds to
put the bridge across the Roanoke
river at NOrfleets that a petition
for a survey was in the hands Of
Mr.. Falls. and that Halifax was
going to have the bridge if it had
to pay all the costs.
Senator Burgwyn in like man.
ner said his county had voted
$40, 900 to have the bridge at Nor
fleets, or some contiguous point
at the discretion Of the engineer,
and if more money was necessary
Northampton would find it, each
township even being willing to
contribute $1,000 towards the
bridge.
The Martin delegation also
Stated their bridge proposition was
assured, to which the Halifax del
egation congratulated them. but
the Martin county people wanted
apparently to combine the commit
ees appointed to go further into
the matter, to which the Halifax
people objected and their objec-

the book to which James W. Gerard
former Ambassador to Germany, re
ferred to as Objectionable in speecf
Sunday night.
The original edition sings the praises
of the Kaiser as paciiist. On page
90 there is this paragraph:
although the German Emperor is a
soldier through and through, it would be
a mistake to consider him a monarch anA-
ious fox war On the contrary, he seeks
with all his might to preserve the German
people from the horrors of a war. The best
proof of his peaceful disposition Is the tact
that Germany had no war for forty years.
In his speech from the throne on June 10,
1883, the Emperor declared: In our foreign
policy am determined to keep peace weSl
every one, as much in me lies. Ily love
for the German army and my position
toward it will never lead me into the temp
tation of curtaing for my land the bene-
fits of peace. unless the war is necessity
