NEGRO CONVICT
HANCS HIMSELF

Tuesday afternoon about six o.
clock Simon Blount colored pris-
oner in the camp at Williamson
committed suicide by hanging
himself by tying a sheet around
his neck and to the joist then
jumping down from the upper
hunks in the camp, breaking his
neck when he fell. He had about
two hours before that time tied
some cords to one Of the same
Joists and jumped but did not
have room enough to get a good
fall and was rescued by attend
ants before he strangled to death.
He was treated by the camp ply
sicians and was thought to be get
ting along alright and no indf,
cations were seen Of another at
tempt to try the thing over again,
though all rope and Other mater
ial that might be used for sucn
purpose were removed and he was
only left few minutes with the
attendants when he succeeded in
ending his life.
Blount had only been in camp
since July %, he was sent to the
penitentary from Columbus coun.
ty for a term of from six to ter
years and was taken to Raleigh
on July 16. He killed his wife
sometime ago for which crime he
was serving. It is said that afte1
he killed his wife he attempted e
kill himself by shooting himself In
the Jaw and mouth and that while
in Jail he attempted to commit
suicide on several occasions.-W1l

DANCE WAS A DIS
GRACE TO THE TOWN

This paper usually likes to fol-
low the lines Of democracy in mat
ters of social as well as political
and religious freedom and for that
reason has had little to say on the
subject Of dancing and though
we know that even the most de-
cent, refined and quiet dance IS
dangerous we will not draw the
line on such dances.
But we must mention the dance
at the Brick Warehouse Tuesday
night. The reports run about as
follows and answering how was
the dance one man said, |'It was
Hell". Another remarked, Il
would not want my sister to be
there Another, 'No place for
any woman, Il am too old to IN
dulge in as rough a dance as that
was" and still another said, "The
most disgraceful affair ever pull
ed off in Williamston''. All Of the
above remarks were made by Lead
ing citizens of our town and most
Of them made fuller explanations
the language Of which the print
ing press refuses to record.
7 Many Of those in attendance
and who regarded dancing prop
erly cnducted as only a harmless
past time soon gecame disgusted
and left at an early hour and it IS
reported that things gradually
waxed warmer until practically
everything known to the dancing
world both respectable and dis
respectable was done. Of course
as is always the case some people
behaved well, there were lots OF
sober people there and it is said
that som Of the visitors acted
much worse than Of our people. 1t
is charged that there were many
young men there who were drunk,
among them a few Of our town
boys but the most ridiculous dane
ing by women was by visitors.
From the information had the au-
thorities Of the town should have
; had several couples arrested and
brought before the bar Of jcstice.
|; AS a matter Of unsolicited advice
We would like to suggest that
young girls and boys be kept
from these dens Of degradation
and highways Of destruction.
The young may say that they
are only dancing the same steps
that are admitted by the people
at other places and there is no
harm in them but keep your girls
away from young men who get
"lit up" and gladly do all kinds

no less than 1927 drinking places.
Less intoxicants are consumed IN

region.
Many other interesting featcres
Of Italian life are revealed by the

shown to be 40 percent greater
than that Of those born legitimate

AN increase, $4,000 Of the 100000

about 100 refugees for deserted

in Italy annually 100000 children
