took his own life because OF bad
health.
City Manager J. R. Benson, who
went to the spot where Parish's
body was found, said at police
headquarters last night that he
was too shocked by the events to
make any statement.
Captain o. v. Thompson. act
ing chief of the department, said:
Il am deeply shocked by Ser
geant Parish's death. Having
worked side by side with him for
several years I knew what a fine
man he was. I am at a loss to
explain his action for he had
everything to live for"
Gloom was thick throughout the
entire police force following the
news of Parish's death. No one
could account for his actions, other
than to express the opinion that
i'll health prompted the decision.
Parish was a veteran law en-
forcement officer with over II
years experience, having served
as deputy sheriff of New Hanover
county for two years and assist
ant chief of police of Carolina
Beach for five years prior to join
ing the Wilmington police force on
February 8, 1887.

teaching. Being a teacher by pro-
fession, well versed in the
classics, in all branches Of
mathematical science and polite
literature" as DR.. Curtis puts it,
Mr.. Murphy was just the man for
the job.
In addition to his own qualifica-
tons to make him an ideal choice
as head Of the new school in
Southport, he had a very inter
esting family consisting of his
wife and several children all OF
whom were calculated to exercise
a refining influence upon the COM
munity," DR.. Curtis assures us.
LIBERAL SUPPORT Seeing
the need for a good and perma-
nent school at Southport, Mr..
Murphy found much encourage
ment when he, along with others,
set about the promotion of one for
Southport.
The first obstacle in his path
was the fact that Southport had
no school building and as DR..
Curtis states sit was a matter of
prime necessity to have a good
school house, if there was to be
a good school"

4. Increase the retirement
benefits paid to persons who, I'M
der the original act, would have

six months during the period from
August 30, 1885, through Deem
Der 81, 1915; or were prevented
from so doing by sickness or dis

6. Include ar increase in taxes

up the deficiencies which existed
under the old law.

duction from each employees wage
or salary will be 6 per cent, and
thereafter it will be 6 IA per

The tax on employers, he point
ed out, is being increased in an
equal amount.

Lock The Doors OF Your Car!

People owning General Motors and Chrysler,
Plymouth and Dodge automobiles should be especially
careful now during the present crime wave in No
gales.
Ford owners can be on guard, too, but the chances
of stealing a Ford very small as Ford cars have
stearng wheel lock in junction with the ignition.
A wire can be placed across the ignition in a
matter Of minutes and off goes your car without
key.
Whoever has been stealing cars safes and homes
is amateur and until they in the custody OF the
law, all we can do is be cautious.
One auto owner is going far as to remove his
distributor from his car every night.
At least, lock the doors of your every night
and park it as close to your home as possible.
It takes more than dreams to make business
enterprise succeed
Hope springs eternal it is said, and this explains
some courtshps.
The quicker an unpleasant task is performed,
the better for everybody.
There is too much argument about religion and
not enough actual practicing of religion
