The PosT-DIsPATcH is happy
to felicitate Editor Hanlyn, of the
Hamlet News, in a forward-look-
ing step taken this week. He
has bought out the Hamlet Mes
senger from w. H. Lindsey, and
this weeks issue will be the last

eleven years has appeared with
unfailing regularity under the
energetic hand of Editor Lindsey.
The name of the News will next
week be changed to that of the
Hamlet News-Messenger. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Lindsey ex-
poets to establish a paper at
Scotland Neck. While regrett-
ing the departure of Mr.. Lindsey,
the editor of the Rockingham

Increase for Professors.

Mr.. W. N. Everett left We'd
nesday morning for New York
City, and will return Saturday.
He goes with President H. w.
Chase, of the University, and r.
D. w. Connor, of Raleigh, to ap-
pear before the General Educa-
ton Board at 4 o'clock this
(Thursdey) afternoon, in behalf
of an increase of salary for the
University professors. The
audience with the Board was
arranged by Mr.. F. T. Gates,
who was formerly President of
the Rockefeller Foundation. Mr..
Rockefeller in December donated
$100,000,000 to educational pur-
poses, vested in the General Edu-
cation Board, and a part of this
is to be used as an increase in
the salaries of deserving college
professors.

Caught Red-handed.

Robert Livingston, a colored
citizen of Hoke county, appears
to have a sure ticket to the Fed
eral pen at Atlanta. On Friday
of last week he was observed by
three white men, for nearly an
hour or more, as he was making
whiskey in a swamp about five
miles west Of Raeford. After
coming to the still, a 60-gallon
affair, and firing UP, he smeared
his face with a mess of white.
wash, or some whiting concoc-
ton, but his camoufage was of
no avail. On Saturday the white
men of the community had officer
Carl Shores come there and
arrest Livingston. He was Civ

does not deny his guilt.

Poultry Fanciers.

Scattered over the county are
quite a number of poultry fan
ciers, with flocks of pure-bred
fowls. And this number ought
to be vastly increased. There
ought to be a better stock o1
fowls on every farm, at every
home.
Possibly there is no industry
so neglected as that of poultry
raising. When it is remembered
that the poultry industry ranks
third cotton first, corn second,
poultry third-it seems strange
that the fowls are treated in such
haphazard a manner. Even the
sorriest hen can lay around all
day and make money; but with a
better breed, the returns would
be greater.
A number of local fanciers are
planning to perfect an organiza-
tion shortly; and it is hoped all
those who are really interested
in better fowls will join.

Carrier Ditched.

Ralph Hutchinson is the Car
rier for Route l, and a genial
fellow who attends strictly to his
business. While making his
rounds on Thursday of last week,
he ran off a fill a few miles from
town and the Car had to be lifted
from him before he could get
out. His mishap was due to
looking for some mail in the bag
and forgetting that a Ford will
not stay in the road unless a
guiding hand directs it. There
was no injury to himself, and
aside from a broken windshield
and top, the Ford was undam-
aged, and he continued on his
rounds in it.
A fellow Carrier suggests the
following parody on the 23rd
Psalm, as fitting Mr.. Hutchinson:
"The flivver is my car, | shall
not want another. 1t maketh
me to lie down in wet places. It
soileth my clothes; it leadeth me
into deep waters. 1t leadeth me
into paths of ridicule for its
names sake; it prepareth for me
a breakdown in the presence of
mine enemies. Yea, though l
run through the valley l am tow
ed up the hill. | fear great evil
when it is with me; it's rods and
its engine discomfort me. 1t
anointeth my face with oils, its
tank runneth over. Surely to
goodness if the thing follows me
all the days of my life | shall
dwell in the house of the insane
forever"

Airplanes Leave.

Rain on Friday of last week

series of loops, dives, spins, etc.
The exhibition began at 2::3O, the

The deeds were passed he
tween the executors of the Lack
ey Estate and Messrs. Miner
Hinson and Kenny Garner last
week, whereby the latter gen
tlemen get possession of the
two-story Lackey building in
Hamlet, the first floor of which
is now occupied by Roy's drug
store, and a Greek candy kitchen.
The building is 512X78, and the
lot is l25 feet deep.
The new owners will lease the
candy kitchen to Mabry Bros. &
Co., who will remodel it and in
stall a flrst-class drug store. The
stand of the Roy drug store viii
be taken over by Hinson and
Garner, who will open upshortly
a new gents furnishings store.
This does not mean that the
Garner & Hinson store in Rock
ingham will be closed; far from
it. The Rockingham business
will be expanded, and the own
ers will place a manager in

Ellis Quinn Hearing.

Ellis Quinn, charged with
keeping whiskey for sale, was
given a hearing before U. SCom-
missioner H. L. Guthrie Tuesday
afternoon.
The Government put one wit
ness on the stand, Sheriff Nc
Donald, he testifying in effect
that he visited the Quinn home
with seach warrant on Dec.
oath, and found there quite a
number of empty Jars and bottles
and two jugs, the bottles smell
ing as though they recently con-
tained whiskey. He testified
that Officer Carl Shores found in
a back room a half gallon jar fill
ed with whiskey,
Lawyer Lem Gibbons upon
conclusion of McDonald's testi-
mony, placed his client, the
defendant Quinn, on the stand.
Quinn testified that he had no
knowledge as to how the half
gallon jar came in the house, and
that he never sold whiskey or
kept it for sale.
The rext witness for the de-
Tense was Pearl Rascoe, who
testified to having met Irving
Brigham on the morning of the
24th in the road about half a
mile from the Quinn home; that
stated he was going to
Guinn's home to get the boys to
carry him to Lauriuburg, and
that he offered him a drink; that
as Brigham opened the grip, he
noticed within the said grip a
half-gallon jar of whiskey; that
Brigham gave him a drink out of
quart bottle.
Alec Mudd, next witness,
testified that he met Brigham on
he morning of the oath near
1uinn's house, in the public road
and that Brigham offered him a
drink. He accepted the proffer
and noticed as Brigham opened
he grip that a half-gallon jar of
was inside.

LAW GETS EN-
Parties in Jail Charged with Theft Of
Cow-hides. Theft Of Bale Of Cotton
Unearthed.

On Wednesday night Of last
week, as noted in last issue o1
the PoST-D DISPATCH, thieves stole
ten cow-hides from ]. H. Swink.
On Thursday two negroes ap
peared at Phillips & 20. market
at Hamlet and offered three hides
at SIS. Mr.. Philips gave them a
check for the amount, but after
they had left, he became sus-
picious and phoned the bank not
to cash the check. When the
negroes presented the check for
payment, the bank refused to
cash it. The negroes knew then
that their game was up, so did
not return to the market or
make further demands for their
money. By a good bit of de-
tective work, Sheriff Mcdonald
and Chief Covington suspected
that John Jones might be
one ofthe two negroes, so they
arrested him and carried him be-
fore Phillips at Hamlet, and the
identification was complete. Jones
then implicated Lonnie May
Smith as his accomplice.> The
two were given a hearing before
Squire Steele Wednesday and
bound over 10 court; in default
of bond, they are now in Jail.
After the arrest of these two
negroes, the Sheriff received an
intimation that John Jones had
stolen a bale of cotton from
Everett Farms, from the cotton
platform at depot, in December,
and had carried it into the coun-
try where he had another negro,
Pearl Allen, to bring it back to
town and resell it. On this in
formation the officers got busy,
found that the firm had missed a |
bale in December, and further
investigating found that Allen
had sold such a bale to Mr.. NAL
10y, receiving therefor Sl27.
The matter was tried before
Squire Steele Wednesday and
both Jones and Allen were COM
mitted to Jail to await court to-
the charge of stealing,
Jones claims that he and Allen
got the bale from the platform at
night, and that he carried it to
Aliens house and, that Allen
then brought it back to town and
sold it and that the two divided
the money. Allen denies this,
claiming that Jones brought him

ICE-BOUND KETCHlKAN

Rule fOrty-seven hundred and eleven of the rules of the American Express Company says that. pigs is pigs" and the next one emphatically states that Ketchikan is an ice-bound port and that nothing can be shipped to that port from Seattle until June 1, when the ice clears out.
 Witness the truth of this, points out the Ketchikan Chronicle, by the following letter received by Frank P. McCurdy from William H. Hand IT,, naval architect, of New Bedford, Mass. It reads:
 Your strut and stuffng-box have been ready for shipment for some time, but unfortunately the local ex- press company refuses to handle it. They claim there is no boat running from Seattle until June 1, and they are forbidden to handle any material which. because of this, will have to be held in Seattle"
 This is much too much, the editor of the Chronicle believes, and that the same thing may not happen again in New Bedford, Mr. McCurdy is starting s correspondence course for their especial benefit, in which he will at tempt to tell them that boats run regu- 1arly from Seattle to Alaska, and that Shere are days when two or three or Ave boats leave.

We wonder how some of those fel- lows up in Alaska would have stood the rigorous winter weather we have enjoyed this season.

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS

We suppose that if it had been one of the Eastern conservationists that had been tackled by the brown bear that killed the young man on Chicha- gOf island last week the bear would have recognized his friend and not mOlested him. The species of bear that killed the young man is the one that is protected in Alaska. The only one who can shoot them is the sports man who does it for the trophy. If Alaskans would be allowed to make their own game laws they would sep arate the ones that should be con- served and those that should be killed, and the brown bear would be in the latter class.-Douglas News.

 And if gambling is at it's height, an- other form of vice which can be elimi- mated is Haunted in the face of the townspeople daily. That is the gen. tlemen who live from the earnings of unfortunately situated women who re- ceive their money not in the most de- sirous manner, and far from the "easi- est way" as it is sometimes called. There are many of these male individ- uals in town now, some of them hay ing been run out of Juneau and other cities to the north. They find Ketchi- kan "easy pickings," and not only stay themselves but bring others of their ilk here. It is not difficult to distinguish these persons, who answer the lowest calling under the sun, nor is it difficult to run them out, if the city officials so determine to dO.-| Ketchikan Chronicle.
