' o'clock Mr. J. D. Rayfield of the
Vaughn school section died at
his home of pneumonia, as reported
in these columns last
week. His mother had come to
his home to assist in nursing
him in his sickness, and was

son who was buried there on

Mr. Sam Turner of Hamlet is
spending a few days with his
mother, Mrs. M. J. Turner,
Messrs. W. P. Pollock and J.
0. Taylor were recently re elected

A still was captured on Lanes
Creek just over in Marshville
township last Friday by officers
J V. and Earl Griffith and Earnhardt
of Monroe. Two Tolk
boys were arrested, but a third

Mr. W. T. Rutledge received

1 son Mr. John Rutledge was

not supposed to be very serious,
and still nothing definite is
known about the trouble.
Mr. and Mrs. D. V. Hendricks
have been sick for several
weeks, and very little had been
done toward a crop. Last
Wednesday morning there were
twenty plows in his fields and
in the afternoon there were rhir
teen. Manure and fertilizer was
put out, and by night a larger
part of his crop was planted.
Only another evidence that this
is a good section to live in.
All motorcars in the State are
required to be registered with
the State Highway Engineer by
July 1st. as provided by the
recent act of the legislature.
We have writteu for one hundred
aoplication blanks for the
convenience of automobile owners
in this section. They should
be here ready for distribution
the latter part of this week.
The fee this year is for half a
year, and is therefore 12 1-2
cents per horsepower.
Mrs. Emma A. Nelson, widow
of the late Rev. J. S. Nelson,
died at the home of her son in
law, Mr. Carl Blakeney, at Jefferson
last Wednesday night. The
body was carried Thursday to
Charlotte and buried (beside that
of her husband. Two sons and
one daughter survive. She had
been a member of the church
for many years, and was a good
woman. She was 71 years old.
Her husband was a minister in
this county many years ago, and
will be remembered by the older
people of the county.
The two weeks term of civil
court for this county lasted three
days only. Monday and Tuesday
of last week were spent on
equity cases. One case was
tried, this being that of Wallace
vs Rank of Ruby and Mt.
Croghan. A mistrial was ordered,
and thus the docket stands about
ll'l/n i< ? ? 1
nv n vvus uciuiv Luuri convened.
The reason for the early
adjournment was that the farm
ers are very busy at this season,
and owing to the unusual demand
for farm products it was
thought wise to let the lawing
go by for a while. Those responsible
for this action are to
be commended. Lawing is
poor business (for all except the
lawyers) at any time and es
pecially so when every man
who farms is needed at home.
This paper was pleased to know
that this action had been taken.
Mr. John Robinson of Jeffer
son was shot throueh the heart
and instantlv killed by Bertha
Munn, a white woman of the
Flat Creek section of Lancaster
county Saturdav night, according
to evidence given at an in
quest held on Sunday. The
Munn woman confessed to the
killing hut stated that Robinson
was trving to force an entrance
into her home when she shot
him from the d^>or, and that she
did not recognize him at the
time. She was lodged in jail.
According to the evidence at
the inquest there were no eye
witnesses, hut there were sever
al persons in the house who
heard the shots. Their testi
mon.v, however, is said to have
been somewhat contradictory.

house Thursday night, E
Mrs. Sue Rushing of Ruby v

The new quart liquor law is effective
tcday. About eight F
gallons of liquor were undelivered
by the express company f<
here yesterday afternoon when the
old law went out. This will I
be returned to the shippers today.
Just a quart each calendar d
month is the limit now. 1
Bunk Maske was convicted j
at Monroe yesterdav of the killing
of Edgar Williams at Win- \.
gate a few weeks ago, and was p
sentenced to be electrocuted on ^
Mav 25th. A snprial tnrm r\f
court was ordered, and when it ^
convened short work was make ^
of it. The jury was out about 15
minutes. The negro was I
stoical during the trial and received
the sentence without ap- j
parent concern.

Important Notice to Patrons n
As is my official duty I have n
recently traveled over route two f
and three from this office. On
route two I found that much road h
work had been done, ar.d that P
the people are taking much interest
in the road. This I desire ?
$
to commend. Still there are a _
few sections that need attention ^
at an early date. I hope that ^
these may soon be put in good *
shape, so that I may make a good
report to the Department.
On route three I found that with
the exception of one or
two short stretches there has been
absolutely nothing done ?
to help the road, but very much ^
to damage it. In many places
the road is barely wide enough ^
ior one vehicle, and then the
people plow out into this and use
it for a ditch. Humps of ^
dirt or sand are pulled into the
tracks, and it is like riding P
through a field for many miles g
of the distance. No eftort is c
made to keep deep sand tl
beds from being formed; ~
small stumps and roots are put J
into the road, and in general the
road is a discredit to the service
and to those responsible for its
maintenance. The department,
when informed of the condi
tions, will not tolerate this con- j
dition. And if the people do not
appreciate the service enough to
I.?1 1 t
ivcum me lonu in snape as tney
promised when they petitioned
for the service, I shall be '
obliged to recommend that the ]
service be withdrawn.
I have not yet been over route
one, but I am informed there
are some very bad roads on this
one also and that nothing has
been done to better them. The
same recommendation will have
to be mad? on this route also
unless the roads are put in de he
cent condition. I>1
M,v, , e ?
Hiuoi ui mt; dinners arc in
through planting in these sec tli
tions, and I shall hold off my nc
reports and see whether or not m
there is a desire to fix the roads bt
and retain the service, ill
