SEA BATHING IN THE TROPICS
Water lieoiwi HuM to ■ R«mirte- able Degrea and a Plunge la
tha
Height of Luxury.
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

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.
The twenty farmers coming nearest to the correct answer to this
question will get twenty as fine Hogs as were ever raised in this
county.
No employee of the Star Warehouse will be allowed a guess in
this contest.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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,

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.

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.
