Tinas who lira la tampans* and •old cllmataa do not realtae tha effect at the Biin'i direct heat on tha aee. Its luxury of bathing in an ocean that tea a temperature of 108 degrees. writes Mr. E. J. Banfleld In "My Tropic Me," la not for the multitude who «rowd the cities that tha aun touches tremulously and aslant. On November 21, 1908. we bathed at Woc-Jee. north Queensland, In shallow water, on the edge of an area of de- waded coral reef fully two mllea long by a mile broad. For three hours a considerable portion of the reef had been exposed to the glare of the sun, and the Incoming tide filched the tored-up heat from coral and stones and sand. The first plunge provoked an excla- mation of amazement, for the water waa soveral degrees hotter than the air, and It was the hottest hour—threa o'clock In the afternoon—of a very hot day. No thermometer was at hand to register the actual temperature of the water, but subsequent testa at tha same spot under slmlllar conditions proved that the surface stratum of about one foot waa at 108 degreea Fahrenheit, from four degrees to six degreea hotter than the air. Below that, the temperature of the water seamed ordinary, and corresponded i wtth that of the water a hundred yards out from the shore. On another day, January 10, 1910, between noon and three o'clock In the afternoon, the sea, scientifically test- ad, waa heated to 90 degrees. With. tha bulb burled In tha sand six feet from the water's edge, the mercury rose to 112 degrees very quickly, and remained stationary.—Youth's Com- ( penlon. SAVE OUT "TIP" THAT WON Humorous Incident Caused Brltleh Public to Believe Gladstone Waa a Race Track Follower. The "Father of the English Turf," Mr. George Hodgman, has Just died at the ripe old age of eighty-nine. Be ides his enthusiasm for sport the de- ceased gentleman was noted for his resemblance to the late Mr. Gladstone, and this likeness was once made the occasion of a practical Joke, which had the amusing sequel of winning for the O. O. M. the reputation of having on Inside knowledge of the doings of the English turf. Mr. Hodgman at the ( time waa traveling in Scotland, and -when passing through Edinburgh his friends for fun passed round the word at Waverly Station that Mr. Gladstone was In the train. At first Incredulous, the crowd flocked round Mr. Hodg- man's carriage, and then, misled per haps by the dim light, concluded that the sportsman really was the states- man, and cheered and shouted for a speech. Just as the train moved out, Mr. Hodgman, urged by his friends. thrust his head out of the window, waved his hand, and shouted gaily: -Thank you, gentlemen! Bo-and-so will win the Cesarewitch!" And as it did, the aport-loving British public, who were not enlightened as to how they were duped till some time later, concluded that Gladstone was a tip- ster well worth following, and es- teemed him accordingly. Rode Into Rlvar to Death. The aulclde of a cyclist who dellb- wrately rode at 16 milea an hour down a concrete slope into the names at Putney, England, was de- scribed at an Inquest at Wandsworth recently. The victim was Solomon Frledlander, aged nineteen. He had gjgosj suffering from consumption. LaU on a recent Sunday night a man -walking along the towpath at Putney saw Frledlander riding Into the river. A policeman named Ladds waded Into the water up to his aeck with a pole and afterwards swam out to nearly .midstream, but without finding the •nan, whose body was not discovered mitil next morning. In a pocketbook found In the possession of Frledlan- der there was wrtuen "Approaching the and." Contradictory Terms. An American visitor to Cambridge, England, sought explanation of some unfamiliar terms, which a genial Don 'was delighted to elucidate. "'Full term,'" he explained, "Is three-quar- tars of a term, and the 'May week* Is the first fortnight In June. A day of general admission Is tha day on which men leave the university, an ordinary degree Is one conferred by a special exam., and an Inspector of art is one who has been an arts stu- dent for at least six years.'' The Yankee passed a hand across Us weary brow. "And will they," he queried, "put roe In the London train If I ask for (ticket to Cambridge r Reciprocation. "Jemima," said Mr. Hangem to his •wife, as ha entered the house with a ibuge package in his arms, "you re- i member last week when you secured ism oh a wonderful bargain In shirts at Mg cents, and neckties at three for a Laerter, for me?" ["Tea. John." replied Mrs. Hangeaa. -Well, don't think I dMn't appre- ' t your thougbtxnlnass. Fee, I have ht something for you. I notlned < beautiful green and yellow plaid i material la a shop window on ' way noire, and bomght you eighty i of it st seven cents a yard. The rjaan said It was a great bargain, . It will make enough dress is to t M two years." t Mrs. Hangem had fainted VALUABLE LOT OF DUROC JERSEY SWINE To Be GIVE AWAY To the Farmers of this Section. . We have twenty head of as fine a lot of Djroc Jersey hogs, Jmile and female, as were ever rais- ed in Eastern North Carolina that we are going to give away, absolutely free of charge, to the far- mers of this section. How To Get One of These Hogs To the farmer, white or cDlored, who conns nearest gjessing the QJaabsi of pDuads of tobacco that will be sold on the Greenville market this season up to December 1st, will be given the choice hog in the lot, and to the farmer who guesses the next nearest to the number of pounds sold, will get the next choice hog in the lot, and so on until the entire lot are given away. Every farmer who sells a load of tobacco at the Star Warehouse will be entitled to a guess, and will have the opportunity of getting one of these choice rugs free of charge. Twenty farmers will get them, and the twenty guessing nearest to the number of pounds sold by December 1 st will be the lucky ones. In order that the farmers miy have an intelligent idea of what will be sold on the market to December 1 st, we are publishing what has been sold on the imrket up to this time, and also what was sold on the market last year up to December 1 st. With this information any oie can form a very intelligent idea of what the market will sell this year to December 1 st. Every load of tobacco sold on the Star Warehouse floor, entitles the owner to a guess. If a farmer has a dozen loads, he will be entitled to twelve guesses, and if he brings a load every day in the week, he will be entitled to a guess for every load he brings up to December 1 st. Now, put on your studying cap, take the sale, last year and compare them with this, make your estimate of what will be sold to December 1 st. this year, bring oi your load of tobacco, and we will register your guess on your bill, and keep a record of it also oarselves, and when the Secretary of the Board of Trade reports the sales up to December Is:, we will then award the hogs to the twenty farmers who have guessed nearest the number of pounds sold. Now, remember please, that it d lesn't cost a cent to enter this contest. It is a perfectly plain proposition. We are going to give away twenty pure blood Duroc Jersey Hogs to the customers of the Star Warehouse who guess nearest the number of pounds of Tobacco that will be sold on the Greenville Market to December 1, this year. rhe sales on the Greenville market last year up to December I, were 11,212,257 pounds. The sales to October 1, this year are 6,597,373 pounds. „_ . . p. ^^ r— «*•*»> TT I *rx M I «t"*- What will the Greenville maiket sell this THE QUES lOlM IO- yearup to December 1st.

Many people believe that it is in- jurious to the eyes to read on a train, but few seem to know why. The rea- son is the added strain on the deli- I eate muscles of the eyes. The mo- ' tlon of the train shakes the paper jor book constantly, thus continually 'changing its position and Its distance from the eyes, keeping the delicate muscles of the eyes in constant action to readjust the focus. Extra work i3 thus thrown on these tiny muscles as the changing of Incus occurs some- times a hundred times a minute. j Some trains now carry library cars which have the source of light be | bind and at one side of the reader. The best and newest Pullmans have side light* for reading. The usual railroad car-lighting equipment, how- ever, is antiquated. Public opinion will do much to remedy these defec- tive lighting methods. Illuminating engineers can be secured by railroads and other public carriers to devise proper methods of Illumination, BO that no excuse can be offered for Im- proper lighting conditions. Another cause of eye-strain in reading on trains Is the poor lighting usually encountered. Often people try to read their evening papers on a train or street-car when the day- light Is fading and before the car lights are turned on. Even with the lights turned on, the situation is not greatly Improved. The cars are fre- quently crowded, and strap-hangers sway back and forth between the paper and the source of light Usual- ly the light IB high up In the center of the car ceiling and Is badly placed for reading, the light being too far from the paper and the light rays be- ing reflected into the eyes from the book or magazine.

M'Mil Ml t: CANADIAN PARTY SLOWLY ARRIVING SOME OF MEMBERS OF PARTY TO NATIONAL CHBISTIAN CON- VEKTION HATE RE- TURNED. A large number of the members of the party which left here last month for Toronto, Canada, have returned to their homes in this town. Some arrived last Saturday, and others have been arriving almost every day 6lnce that time. Those retunrnlg to date, and who have not as yet been mentioned, are Mrs. lHattle White Mrs. Borden. Mrs. J. R. Moyc, Miss Agnes Spain, Mice Denny, and Rev. J J. Walker. The primary object of the trip was to attend the National Convention of the Christian Church, and the final goal and destination of the party was Toronto, Canada, where the big con- vention was held. Side trips were made both going and coming, and the party spent much time in Canadian cities besides Toronto. Niagra Palls v. as visited, and trips were made down the St Lawrence River, and from Albany to New York city over the famous Hudson River. Every mem- ber of the party reports a good time, and says that there was not a dull moment during their absence from town, with the exception of the few- times when they were visited by short spells of homesickness. Oothers of the party arc expected bock almost every day. FOB FIREMEN'S HALL. Copies of Automobile Law Received by Local Officers Officers of the town and county have received copies of the automo- bile law, and have been given copies to carry in their pockets all the while. It is Important that every citizen owning or driving an automobile ob- serve the law, and take notice of its provisions, as, perhaps, it might a", some time save him a heavy fine. The law waa received here from Secre- tary of State J. Bryan Grimes, and i3 as follows: To the Sheriffs, Deputy Sheriffs, Po- licemen, Marshals, Watchmen and Constables of North Carolina: Do not permit any automobile or motorcycle to run anywhere or at any time unless proper display number for 1913-14 appears on rear. Do not permit any person to oper- ate a motor vehicle of any kind un- less such person shall, upon demand, show license for the current year. Do not permit any person to at- tempt to transfere license to another person other than the one to whom issued. Tbey are also void for any machine except the one described therein. Do not permit speed exceeding ten miles per hour In the business portion and fifteen in the residential section of any city or town, and twenty-five miles on public highways. Persons violating the automobile law were subject to a fine of $50 or imprisonment for thirty days upon conviction before a Justice of the Peace or any other officer having Jur Isdlctlon. Each of the officers named herein Is liable on his official bond for fail- ure or neglect In carrying out the du- ties above Imposed.

PARDON BOARD CONSIDERING PARDON FOR Ml'RDERESS HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct. 15.—The state board of pardons today listened to arguments on the petition recent- ly presented asking for tho pardon of Mrs. Kato Edwarite. the Reading murderess. Mrs. Edwards was con- victed In 1902 of the murder of he' husband. For the past twelve years she has been confined In the Berks county Jail at Reading, during which time threo governors have declined to sign the warrant for her execution. Tho reasons advanced for a pardon are that Mrs. Edwards, who Is now 48 years old and the mother of five living children, would prU)ahly hav« convicted of second degree murder ac acquitted had she told the truth that sho was debacod by years of brutal treatment and Ignorant; that she has served twelve years, haB re- orfmed and been sufficiently punish-; that sentiment Is In her favor; that If pardoned she will lead a useful llf" and that she Is In bad health. gv Point. HARVE, France, Oct 14.—La Tou- ralne of the French line, one of the rescue ships at the Volturno dlsastei arrived at this port this morning bearing forty-two survivors from the Volturno on her forward deck. Eight children three to twelve years old whose parents either perished or wera on board other rescue ships, two oth er children with their mothers, twen ty-seven sturdy Polish parents and Hires members of the Volturno crew made up the party. Lieutenant Izenlc of La Touralne said that the women and children oil the Volturno wero placed farthest from the fire while the men formed d line nearest the danger point. He said that everything aboard the Vol- turno appeared to be quiet and un- der organized control. to come to Greenville to make thel sales. It Is believed that the position this town will take in the standing of North Carolina cities and towns In the sales for the month of October will be much nearer to the front than was the case last month. The sales for the week closing last Friday helped out very materially in raising the average and in placing the stand- ing of this town much higher. It la said by some that more than ten mil- lion pounds have been sold here to the present time, and it is confident- ly predicted that this season's records will go far above those for last year. I'nited States Court for the East- ern District of North Carolina Will convene In the new federal building at Washington on next T-iesday morninj, with Judge 11. G. Connor, of Wilsou, presiding. It is the first court to be held in the new pott office building in Washington, though at this time there will be no formal opening exer- cises. The following articles, taken from the Washington Dally News, will bi read with interest: The United States Court for the Eastern District of North CC'arolina will meet here on Tuesday of next week with His Honor, Judge H. G. Connor, of Wilson. N. C, presiding This will be the first time that the sessions of the court have been held In the court room of the new public building. It Is to be doubted if North Carolina contains a similar hall of justice more adaptel for the purpose for which it was construct- ed. The room is now finished and ready for the sitting of the cour\ There are six warrent cases on the docket for trail and six civil cases. Several attorneys from afar will be in attendance. The formal opening of the pub.ic building is scheduled to take pUCO v.t a later date. Ar- rangements are now going on for this niirpose. JfO VERDICT EXPECTED BEFORE WEDNESDAY Railway Surgeons in Session. CHICAGO, III.. Oct. IB.—Means to lessen the number of accidents, both t.» employes and passengers. Is sched- uled as the chief subject for discus slon at the tenth annual convention of the American Association of Rail- way Surgeons, which began Its ses- sions at the Hotel Sherman In this city today. Other topics to be dis- cussed during the three days' session will be the cause and cure of car sick- ness, the relation of the attendant surgeon to the evidence In personal Injury clalmi, and the role of the rail- way Burgeon In preventing damage claims. It May be Later Still Before Hlgn Court of Impeachment Decides the Fate of Sulzer. ALBANY, N. Y., Oct 14.—Indica- tions are that the High Court of Im- peachment trying Governor BuUer may not reach a verdict before Wed- nesday, possibly later. Lengthy nr guments, beginning this morning dealt with the question whether tha testimony of Duncan V. Peck. Allan ltyan and Henry U Morgenthuu would be considered as part of article four of the Impeachment charges, or mere- ly as corroborative evidence, and whether the testimony should be embodied in an amendment to tho ar- ticles. It was thought that UtaN would be no vote today on the gen- eral proposition of the governor's li nocence. Between the county bridge and the railroad crossing is a place which, with the possible exception of a nar- row channel, can be waded, and this will have to be deepened to the a- mount of six feet, and a width of more than twenty-six yards. The work of dredging out the bot- tom of the river, or at least a part cf the river's bed, Is accomplished in a way that to many people is a new method. The rear end of the boat !s anchored to one certain spot, while the front Is allowed to swing loos.?. From the rear a pipe line, supported by rarts stretched under it, reaches from the boat to the bank of the river. A kind of screw or a cutter Is fasten- ed on the front end of the boat, and this protrudes deep into the water, and as this end of the craft ovee back and forth, cuts loose the mud underneath. This Is drawn Into the pipe by means of a suction machine, and is pumped over to the bank of the stream. Initiation of New Society Members. On last Saturday night tho BtudUnU who had applied for mcbershlp In the literary societies of E. C. T. T. S. were initiated and became members of cither the I'oe or Lanier Societies. A great deal of excitement was manifested among the applicants for a few days beforehand, for no one knew to which of tho two societies they would belong. The method of assigning is that the Inter-society committee with the faculty member- ship committee shall evenly divide students desiring admission into two groups, these groups shall then be drawn by lot, one for the Poe So- ciety, the other for the Lanier. These lists are than posted that the eager applicants may find to which society Fate has assigned them. Discuss Elasticity of Credit.

    Tinas who lira la tampans* and •old cllmataa do not realtae tha effect at the Biin'i direct heat on tha aee. Its luxury of bathing in an ocean that tea a temperature of 108 degrees. writes Mr. E. J. Banfleld In "My Tropic Me," la not for the multitude who «rowd the cities that tha aun touches tremulously and aslant.

    On November 21, 1908. we bathed at Woc-Jee. north Queensland, In shallow water, on the edge of an area of de- waded coral reef fully two mllea long by a mile broad. For three hours a considerable portion of the reef had been exposed to the glare of the sun, and the Incoming tide filched the ■tored-up heat from coral and stones and sand.

    The first plunge provoked an excla- mation of amazement, for the water waa soveral degrees hotter than the air, and It was the hottest hour—threa o'clock In the afternoon—of a very hot day. No thermometer was at hand to register the actual temperature of the water, but subsequent testa at tha same spot under slmlllar conditions proved that the surface stratum of about one foot waa at 108 degreea Fahrenheit, from four degrees to six degreea hotter than the air. Below that, the temperature of the water seamed ordinary, and corresponded i wtth that of the water a hundred yards out from the shore.

    On another day, January 10, 1910, between noon and three o'clock In the afternoon, the sea, scientifically test- ad, waa heated to 90 degrees. With. tha bulb burled In tha sand six feet from the water's edge, the mercury rose to 112 degrees very quickly, and remained stationary .—Youth's Com- ( penlon. ■ 

    SAVE OUT "TIP" THAT WON

    Humorous Incident Caused Brltleh Public to Believe Gladstone Waa

    a Race Track Follower.

    The "Father of the English Turf," Mr. George Hodgman, has Just died at the ripe old age of eighty-nine. Be ■ides his enthusiasm for sport the de- ceased gentleman was noted for his resemblance to the late Mr. Gladstone, and this likeness was once made the occasion of a practical Joke, which had the amusing sequel of winning for the O. O. M. the reputation of having on Inside knowledge of the doings of the English turf. Mr. Hodgman at the ( time waa traveling in Scotland, and -when passing through Edinburgh his friends for fun passed round the word at Waverly Station that Mr. Gladstone was In the train. At first Incredulous, the crowd flocked round Mr. Hodg- man's carriage, and then, misled per haps by the dim light, concluded that the sportsman really was the states- man, and cheered and shouted for a speech. Just as the train moved out, Mr. Hodgman, urged by his friends. thrust his head out of the window, waved his hand, and shouted gaily: -Thank you, gentlemen! Bo-and-so will win the Cesarewitch!" And as it did, the aport-loving British public, who were not enlightened as to how they were duped till some time later, concluded that Gladstone was a tip- ster well worth following, and es- teemed him accordingly.

    Rode Into Rlvar to Death. The aulclde of a cyclist who dellb-

    wrately rode at 16 milea an hour down a concrete slope into the names at Putney, England, was de- scribed at an Inquest at Wandsworth recently. The victim was Solomon Frledlander, aged nineteen. He had gjgosj suffering from consumption. LaU on a recent Sunday night a man -walking along the towpath at Putney saw Frledlander riding Into the river. A policeman named Ladds waded Into the water up to his aeck with a pole and afterwards swam out to nearly .midstream, but without finding the •nan, whose body was not discovered mitil next morning. In a pocketbook found In the possession of Frledlan- der there was wrtuen "Approaching the and."

    Contradictory Terms. An American visitor to Cambridge,

    ■England, sought explanation of some unfamiliar terms, which a genial Don 'was delighted to elucidate. "'Full term,'" he explained, "Is three-quar- tars of a term, and the 'May week* Is the first fortnight In June. A day ■of general admission Is tha day on which men leave the university, an ordinary degree Is one conferred by a special exam., and an Inspector of

    ■art is one who has been an arts stu- dent for at least six years.''

    The Yankee passed a hand across Us weary brow.

    VALUABLE LOT OF

    DUROC JERSEY SWINE To Be GIVE AWAY To the Farmers of this Section. . •

    We have twenty head of as fine a lot of Djroc Jersey hogs, Jmile and female, as were ever rais-

    ed in Eastern North Carolina that we are going to give away, absolutely free of charge, to the far-

    mers of this section.

    How To Get One of These Hogs To the farmer, white or cDlored, who conns nearest gjessing the QJaabsi of pDuads of tobacco

    that will be sold on the Greenville market this season up to December 1st, will be given the choice hog in the lot, and to the farmer who guesses the next nearest to the number of pounds sold, will get the next choice hog in the lot, and so on until the entire lot are given away.

    Every farmer who sells a load of tobacco at the Star Warehouse will be entitled to a guess, and will have the opportunity of getting one of these choice rugs free of charge. Twenty farmers will get them, and the twenty guessing nearest to the number of pounds sold by December 1 st will be the lucky ones.

    In order that the farmers miy have an intelligent idea of what will be sold on the market to December 1 st, we are publishing what has been sold on the imrket up to this time, and also what was sold on the market last year up to December 1 st. With this information any oie can form a very intelligent idea of what the market will sell this year to December 1 st. Every load of tobacco sold on the Star Warehouse floor, entitles the owner to a guess. If a farmer has a dozen loads, he will be entitled to twelve guesses, and if he brings a load every day in the week, he will be entitled to a guess for every load he brings up to December 1 st.

    Now, put on your studying cap, take the sale, last year and compare them with this, make your estimate of what will be sold to December 1 st. this year, bring oi your load of tobacco, and we will register your guess on your bill, and keep a record of it also oarselves, and when the Secretary of the Board of Trade reports the sales up to December Is:, we will then award the hogs to the twenty farmers who have guessed nearest the number of pounds sold.

    Now, remember please, that it d lesn't cost a cent to enter this contest. It is a perfectly plain proposition. We are going to give away twenty pure blood Duroc Jersey Hogs to the customers of the Star Warehouse who guess nearest the number of pounds of Tobacco that will be sold

    on the Greenville Market to December 1, this year. rhe sales on the Greenville market last year up to December I, were 11,212,257 pounds.

    The sales to October 1, this year are 6,597,373 pounds.

    Why Not Bead on a Train.

    Many people believe that it is in- jurious to the eyes to read on a train, but few seem to know why. The rea- son is the added strain on the deli-

    I eate muscles of the eyes. The mo- ' tlon of the train shakes the paper jor book constantly, thus continually 'changing its position and Its distance from the eyes, keeping the delicate muscles of the eyes in constant action to readjust the focus. Extra work i3 thus thrown on these tiny muscles as the changing of Incus occurs some- times a hundred times a minute.

    j Some trains now carry library cars which have the source of light be

    | bind and at one side of the reader. The best and newest Pullmans have

    side light* for reading. The usual railroad car-lighting equipment, how- ever, is antiquated. Public opinion will do much to remedy these defec- tive lighting methods. Illuminating engineers can be secured by railroads and other public carriers to devise proper methods of Illumination, BO that no excuse can be offered for Im- proper lighting conditions.

    Another cause of eye-strain in

    reading on trains Is the poor lighting

    usually encountered. Often people try to read their evening papers on a train or street-car when the day- light Is fading and before the car lights are turned on. Even with the lights turned on, the situation is not greatly Improved. The cars are fre- quently crowded, and strap-hangers sway back and forth between the

    paper and the source of light Usual- ly the light IB high up In the center of the car ceiling and Is badly placed for reading, the light being too far from the paper and the light rays be- ing reflected into the eyes from the book or magazine.

    A large number of the members of the party which left here last month for Toronto, Canada, have returned to their homes in this town. Some arrived last Saturday, and others have been arriving almost every day 6lnce that time. Those retunrnlg to date, and who have not as yet been mentioned, are Mrs. lHattle White Mrs. Borden. Mrs. J. R. Moyc, Miss Agnes Spain, Mice Denny, and Rev. J J. Walker.

    The primary object of the trip was to attend the National Convention

    of the Christian Church, and the final goal and destination of the party was Toronto, Canada, where the big con- vention was held. Side trips were made both going and coming, and the party spent much time in Canadian cities besides Toronto. Niagra Palls v. as visited, and trips were made down the St Lawrence River, and from Albany to New York city over the famous Hudson River. Every mem- ber of the party reports a good time, and says that there was not a dull moment during their absence from town, with the exception of the few- times when they were visited by short spells of homesickness.

    Oothers of the party arc expected bock almost every day.

    High water in the Tar River, due to the recent continous rains, enabled the big dredge boat now doing work In the channel of the stream to couie up to the Atlantic Coast Line railroad bridge last Monday.

    Buster Button, a white farmer liv- ing lour or live miles from town, last night had bis life saved by the he- roic work of Dr. J. L. Nobles ani Officer Georgo Clark. T!ic man vas round in the west end of town vith his life fast ebbing awa;\ On his person WM found a buttle which had contained medicine, and which had been prescribed for him by Dr. No- bles.

All of the known methods of bringing back lit; to an unconscious man were employ- ed to restore to this man his normal condition. Hot water was pumped in- to his stomach, and other remedies v.-cro applied. Finally the human spark once more began to be fanned Into a blaze, and Sutton showed that there was hope for him.

    PARDON BOARD CONSIDERING PARDON FOR Ml'RDERESS

    HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct. 15.—The state board of pardons today listened to arguments on the petition recent- ly presented asking for tho pardon of Mrs. Kato Edwarite. the Reading murderess. Mrs. Edwards was con- victed In 1902 of the murder of he' husband. For the past twelve years she has been confined In the Berks county Jail at Reading, during which time threo governors have declined to sign the warrant for her execution.

    Tho reasons advanced for a pardon are that Mrs. Edwards, who Is now 48 years old and the mother of five living children, would prU)ahly hav« convicted of second degree murder ac acquitted had she told the truth that sho was debacod by years of brutal treatment and Ignorant; that she has served twelve years, haB re- orfmed and been sufficiently punish-; that sentiment Is In her favor; that If pardoned she will lead a useful llf" and that she Is In bad health.

Eight children three to twelve years old whose parents either perished or wera on board other rescue ships, two oth er children with their mothers, twen ty-seven sturdy Polish parents and Hires members of the Volturno crew made up the party.

    Lieutenant Izenlc of La Touralne said that the women and children oil the Volturno wero placed farthest from the fire while the men formed d line nearest the danger point. He said that everything aboard the Vol- turno appeared to be quiet and un- der organized control.

    to come to Greenville to make thel sales.

    It Is believed that the position this town will take in the standing of North Carolina cities and towns In the sales for the month of October will be much nearer to the front than was the case last month. The sales for the week closing last Friday helped out very materially in raising the average and in placing the stand- ing of this town much higher. It la said by some that more than ten mil- lion pounds have been sold here to the present time, and it is confident- ly predicted that this season's records will go far above those for last year.

    I'nited States Court for the East- ern District of North Carolina Will convene In the new federal building at Washington on next T-iesday morninj, with Judge 11. G. Connor, of Wilsou, presiding.

    the Fate of Sulzer.

    ALBANY, N. Y., Oct 14.—Indica- tions are that the High Court of Im- peachment trying Governor BuUer may not reach a verdict before Wed- nesday, possibly later. Lengthy nr guments, beginning this morning dealt with the question whether tha testimony of Duncan V. Peck. Allan ltyan and Henry U Morgenthuu would be considered as part of article four of the Impeachment charges, or mere- ly as corroborative evidence, and whether the testimony should be embodied in an amendment to tho ar- ticles. It was thought that UtaN would be no vote today on the gen- eral proposition of the governor's

    li nocence.

    Between the county bridge and the railroad crossing is a place which, with the possible exception of a nar- row channel, can be waded, and this will have to be deepened to the a- mount of six feet, and a width of more than twenty-six yards.

    The work of dredging out the bot- tom of the river, or at least a part cf the river's bed, Is accomplished in a way that to many people is a new method. The rear end of the boat !s anchored to one certain spot, while the front Is allowed to swing loos.?. From the rear a pipe line, supported by rarts stretched under it, reaches from the boat to the bank of the river. A kind of screw or a cutter Is fasten- ed on the front end of the boat, and this protrudes deep into the water, and as this end of the craft ovee back and forth, cuts loose the mud underneath. This Is drawn Into the pipe by means of a suction machine, and is pumped over to the bank of the stream.

    Initiation of New Society Members.

    On last Saturday night tho BtudUnU who had applied for mcbershlp In the literary societies of E. C. T. T. S. were initiated and became members of cither the I'oe or Lanier Societies.

    A great deal of excitement was manifested among the applicants for a few days beforehand, for no one knew to which of tho two societies they would belong. The method of assigning is that the Inter-society committee with the faculty member- ship committee shall evenly divide students desiring admission into two groups, these groups shall then be drawn by lot, one for the Poe So- ciety, the other for the Lanier. These lists are than posted that the eager applicants may find to which society Fate has assigned them.

    An exhibit of the art work of the Farmville graded school is to be put on at the Great State Fair in Raleigi, next week. The exhibit of this school took first prize at the Pitt county fair last fall, and a most cred- itable showing was made. Indeed, so well pleased were some of the officials with the work of the Farm- ville school, that Hon. J. Y. Joyner, state superintendent of Public Instruc- tion, has requested the school to take its exhibit to the state fair, and this is to be done.

    The art work of the Farmville Riaded school is under the supervis- ion of Mr. Edward W. Hearne, ci this town, and the work that is done by the studentB there Is some of the best In any school In the state the size of Farmville. Mr. Hearne is himself an artist of considerable at- tainments, and has studied In sever- al of the well known art institutions of the north. He spent the past sum- mer in studying in one of the fam- ous schools of Boston, and has en- tered upon his work at Farmville bet- ter prepared than ever to teach the children under his direction.

    Mr. Hearne left Greenville this morning for Farmville to visit th< school today. He. will spend the morning and part of the afternoon In his class rooms, and will go on to K:i- lelgh this afternoon to arrange th" exhibits lo be made by his institution.

    0AKRLI5G AT THE STATE FAIR It Is refreshing to note that the Ila-

    raca-Phllathea Union of the city of Raleigh has started a campaign look- ing toward tbe elimination of gam- bling schemes and fake performances at the state fair at Raleigh this month Many people who have attended the fair In former years have been shock- ed at some of the concerns that have been licensed to play upon the peo- ple on these occasions. It Is very true that each succeeding year v: have reassurances of the fair that all shows and attractions of a question- able character will not be allowed to give their performances on the grounds, but when you got on the grounds you saw the same old tricks being worked on the Innocent, Ignor- ant people who allowed themselves to be dragged ln.

    a Board ol Alderman Held Meeting Monday

    Night Though holding a special called

    meeting the board of aldermen last night failed to transact any matters of a very great importance. Six mem- bers were present for the meeting and Mr. it J. Pulley qualified as al- derman from the third ward, be hav- ing been elected several weeks ago.

    A number of citizens appeared be- fore the board and asked that the dog law be repealed. This was debated for some time and a motion was made to allow the canines to roam about the streets of the town with- out being tied. A vote waa taken, and only one member of the board voted ln favor of the motion to re- peal tha ordinance.

    The only other matter of a very great Interest to the public was tha proposal to pass a law requiring all drivers and owners of automobiles and motor cycles to muffle the ex- haust pipe on their machines. This will be brought up at the next meet- ing, and will at that time either be passed or rejected.

    A motion to open up and widen Oreen street between Fifth street anJ Dickinson avenue was referred to the street committee.

    The tax books were turned over to the proper authorities. A discussion was opened as to the building oi stables for tbe carts, and wagons of the town.

    Other matters of small importance were brought up, but these will be of no Interest to the people. Tht next regular meeting of the board will be held the first Thursday night la November.

The examination was on the first two years' work ln the medical course, and when the young man applies for license to prac- tice his profession, he will have to be examined only on the remaining two years. This speaks well for him, and his friends In Oreenvllle will be glad to learn of the splendid record that he la making.

    ond day of the special session, re- quiring the corporation commission U> furnish him the names of all mem- bers of the legislature carrying passes. The communication follows:

    Having received considerable cor- respondence regarding my pass res- olution, In qulry as to holders of free passes, and as the newspapers at the time did not publish a full statement of facts, I beg to submit the following:

    On the 26th day of September, I Introduced and bad successfully pass- ed ln the House of Representative. a resolution calling upon the Corpo- mration Comlsslon to furnish to the House of Representatives the name of every member of the General Assem- bly or other state official who waa in the employment of any railroad, or who was in possession of a free pass on any railroad. In obedience to that resolution the Corporation Commis- sion on September the 29th, furnish- ed the names of twenty-two members, which It termed a partial list Since that time I have made repeated d ■- mands upon the Corporation Com- mission for additional information, but each time I have been told there was no Information to be had. Wheth- j r the Corporation Commission waa ■ 

    Blncere In its efforts to carry out ths! mandates of the resolution or not I am unable to say, but I do know I that a complete list of those who: held passes was not furnished, and I believe the people of North Caro- lina are of the same opinion. How- ever, as I have made use of all of the authority that I had, and can do no more at this time. It remains now for the people of the state to demand that these exposures be fully made, and that such a system of grafting ten cents per mile from the state In riding to the Capitol on free passes be stopped. To remedy this I In- troduced an amendment to the pro- posed Constitution, which, lf ratified, would have allowed the members of the General Assembly only their ac- tual mileage paid out while coming to and going from the Capitol. But this, with other similar amendments, was of course voted down.

    If the contentions of some of those who were caught with the good" > true, and they really have nothing to fear from their constituency, then why does the "hit dog howir If thr gentlemen reported at having passes and who rode to Raleigh on them did not have any concern about the In- formation, why did they fly into suc'i a tirade when It waa shown on the floor of the house that they had diawn ten cents per mile fro them State and ridden to Raleigh on Southern Rail- road passes? The author of the re solution ls very grateful for the term "demagogue" if demagoguery be turn- ing the light of Information on such corruption.

    It may be that the author of the resolution is no more honest than other members of tho General Assem- bly, but suffice it to say his price Is not a retainer's fee or a railroad pass.
