C, Dec. 10 Four Russian emigrants arrived in thiscity a few days ago- These , men could not speak a word of English and were almost starved when they arrived. Through an interpreter they told of the many hardships they had encountered since their arrival in North Caro- lina. According to their story they were taken to some point, the name of which they could not remember, by a railroad agent to work on a railroad. On arrival there they found all the vacancies filled and the agent discharged them, without a cent of pay and n jthing in the way of food. Next they applied to a captain of an oyster boat for work and went aboard, but after a day or two of this the captain finding them not acquainted with the work, put them off on an island, presumably Indian Island, at ihe mouth of Pamlico river, about forty miles from this city. Without a scrap of food and no money their condition grew des- perate and finding an old delapi- dated row boat on the island, all four embarked, hoping that they might be picked up by a passing vessel Without any oars and no sail they drifted a! out for forty hours or longer until finally a current carried the boat upon a beach, which they found to be the main land. They then walked until they reached a road and followed it until they arrived in this city. When they arrived here they were well nigh ttarved, had not a cent of money and were unable to speak a word of English, hiv- ing to communicate hy signs, unfil an interpreter could be found, when through him I hey told their pitiful tale. The four men were given lodging at the city hall and a collection was taken up among the city officers, and they were given enough for teveral meals. The spokesman of the party says that they would like to settle here if they can obtain work. Tn« men are all ablebodied men of pleasing coun- tenance and no doubt u ould make good laborers.

R- L Davis Rpesits to Large Audience. Rev. R. L. Davis, State organ- izer of the Anti-Saloon League, preached in Ji rvis Memorial church Sunc'ay morning, and at night made an ad Vcss onprohibi tion. H: said prohibition is the paramount, issue that confronts the churches of North Carolina for t'ie next i ighteen months- not that other dcc'.rines andprin- ciplcsaie not important, butth.it prohibition is more important because 80 much depends on rttdimr the Stat. of theliauor license evil. Mr. Davis took the ground that no State or municipality his the right to license a business that destroys manhood and •weeks homes, that there i.-; no civil law that is not subordinate to Divine law. Housed quota- tions not only front the Bible, th<- foundation of law, but also from the declaration of independ- nee the constitution of the United States, antl from the legal writ Ingsof Blackstonu tu sustain this po. itior. Re pointed out the fact that more than half the places in North ^ar j olina in which liquor is legally: sold ; re located in half a dozen : Counties, in this immediate sec-' tion. Pitt being one of them, and with this condition it is no won- dcr that the State boards of the different denorninstims have to help pay for tho G-v-ji-1 being preached in these counties Mr Davis said State prohibi- tion is one of the certainties of th< i ear future and North Can lina will see it with the begin- ning of the year 1910. There are row hut twenty five counties in North Carolina in which liquor is legally sold, and the otho 1 seven- ty, three counties will say tu thesa twenty five in the next le<n.<la lure "you must come over with us and rid North Carolina of the sale of liquor." The objection some people make to prohibition because some Stater, that had it bad abandons d it, was fully answered. Mr. Davis said the mistake, those Stat' s made was in thinking the lav/ '.vnild enforce itself. The MR. W. T. FLEMING DEAD. tile Ec- Paued Away at Old Fort While rostt to Ashtville- Telegrams from Old Fort an- nounce that Mr. Willis T Flem- ing, of Greenville, died there this morning, bv.t no further particulars were given. This sad intelligence was in- deed a shock to Mr. Fleming's people'and host of friends here at his home. He had been in poor health several lr.onts. Two weeks ago he went to a hospital in Baltimore for treatment, but th -re was advised that he would obtain more benefit at a moun- tain sanitarium and he returned home. Last Thursday moriiin,. he left here to go to Asheville, but his death occuring at Old Fort it i:, inferred that he must have been taken worse enroute and stopped oir there. The re mains will be shipped bonu-, probably reaching here Tuesday evening or Wednesd y no in \!>'. Fleming was 40 years ol!, and a s n of Mr. and Mrs. K. II.

Washington, N. C, Dec. 10 — Four Russian emigrants arrived in thiscity a few days ago- These , men could not speak a word of English and were almost starved when they arrived. Through an interpreter they told of the many hardships they had encountered since their arrival in North Caro- lina. According to their story they were taken to some point, the name of which they could not remember, by a railroad agent to work on a railroad. On arrival there they found all the vacancies filled and the agent discharged them, without a cent of pay and n jthing in the way of food. Next they applied to a captain of an oyster boat for work and went aboard, but after a day or two of this the captain finding them not acquainted with the work, put them off on an island, presumably Indian Island, at ihe mouth of Pamlico river, about forty miles from this city.
Without a scrap of food and no money their condition grew des- perate and finding an old delapi- dated row boat on the island, all four embarked, hoping that they might be picked up by a passing vessel Without any oars and no sail they drifted a! out for forty hours or longer until finally a current carried the boat upon a beach, which they found to be the main land. They then walked until they reached a road and followed it until they arrived in this city.
When they arrived here they were well nigh ttarved, had not a cent of money and were unable to speak a word of English, hiv- ing to communicate hy signs, unfil an interpreter could be found, when through him I hey told their pitiful tale. The four men were given lodging at the city hall and a collection was taken up among the city officers, and they were given enough for teveral meals. The spokesman of the party says that they would like to settle here if they can obtain work. Tn« men are all ablebodied men of pleasing coun- tenance and no doubt u ould make good laborers.

.VOL. No. XXV GREENVILLE, PITT COUNTY. NORTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY., DECEMBER ^0
PKOHIBIilON ADDRESS.
Rev. R- L Davis Rpesits to Large Audience.
Rev. R. L. Davis, State organ- izer of the Anti-Saloon League, preached in Ji rvis Memorial church Sunc'ay morning, and at night made an ad Vcss onprohibi tion. H: said prohibition is the paramount, issue that confronts the churches of North Carolina for t'ie next i ighteen months- not that other dcc'.rines andprin- ciplcsaie not important, butth.it prohibition is more important because 80 much depends on rttdimr the Stat. of theliauor license evil.
Mr. Davis took the ground that no State or municipality his the right to license a business that destroys manhood and •weeks homes, that there i.-; no civil law that is not subordinate to Divine law. Housed quota- tions not only front the Bible, th<- foundation of law, but also from the declaration of independ- nee the constitution of the United States, antl from the legal writ Ingsof Blackstonu tu sustain this po. itior. Re pointed out the fact that more than half the places in North ^ar j olina in which liquor is legally: sold ; re located in half a dozen : Counties, in this immediate sec-' tion. Pitt being one of them, and with this condition it is no won- dcr that the State boards of the different denorninstims have to help pay for tho G-v-ji-1 being preached in these counties
Mr Davis said State prohibi- tion is one of the certainties of th< i ear future and North Can lina will see it with the begin- ning of the year 1910. There are row hut twenty five counties in North Carolina in which liquor is legally sold, and the otho1 seven- ty, three counties will say tu thesa twenty five in the next le<n.<la lure "you must come over with us and rid North Carolina of the sale of liquor."
The objection some people make to prohibition because some Stater, that had it bad abandons d it, was fully answered. Mr. Davis said the mistake, those Stat' s made was in thinking the lav/ '.vnild enforce itself. The

tile Ec- Paued Away at Old Fort While rostt to Ashtville-
Telegrams from Old Fort an- nounce that Mr. Willis T Flem- ing, of Greenville, died there this morning, bv.t no further particulars were given.
This sad intelligence was in- deed a shock to Mr. Fleming's people'and host of friends here at his home. He had been in poor health several lr.onts. Two weeks ago he went to a hospital in Baltimore for treatment, but th -re was advised that he would obtain more benefit at a moun- tain sanitarium and he returned home. Last Thursday moriiin,. he left here to go to Asheville, but his death occuring at Old Fort it i:, inferred that he must have been taken worse enroute and stopped oir there. The re mains will be shipped bonu-, probably reaching here Tuesday evening or Wednesd y no in

Tradi'ion has said that new conr.rs in the United States Sen- ate were expected to observe a degree of silence, be seen but little and heard less, letting; the old*r heads have the floor and give the new ones lessons. But Senator Jeff Davis, the new mcrrb.T from Arkansas, pave precedence a jolt, and waded in for a speech when he had been there only a few days that made the old heads sit up and take notice. He waded in to trusts and extravagance in high places, an! took a fall out of the prcs dent for jetting §50,000 salary, (that alone not bang considered exeessiw) and In addition g t- ting $26,000 for traveling ex- penses and $113,000 annuallv foj living ixponses. Too rr.ueh for a family with five c: ildren to be blowing in for living expenses thinks S nator Davis, and he is

The error wasdess disastrous than the famous one of the Dutch house- keeper who during the prevalence of the hi.-toric tulip mania acciden- tally boiled for onions a handful of tulip bulbs worth a fortune. Hut it was certainly vexatious as well as funny.
According to historic tradition, the original introduction of the dah- lia into England occurred through an error exactly opposite in charac- ter. It was imported for a vegeta- ble and turned out a flower.
A little over a century ago, so the story runs. Lady Holland, traveling in the south of Europe, was regaled Upon a soup of delicious Ilavor, which her hostess informed her was called "Palestine soup.'' because its chief ingredient was the Jerusalem artichoke.
Lady Holland, always on the alert for interesting novelties, or- dered a root of the artichoke to be sent to hi r garden* r at Holland House.

"T-o-z-e," answered the child. "No, dear, that's not right.
T-o-e-s spe'ls toes." "But it sounds like t-o-z-e." "I know it, but you cannot go by
the sound." Then in order to enforce the
proposition the mother called upon her daughter to spell froze.
"F-r-o-e-s," said the child. "No. You're \yong again. This
time we do use the 'z' and spell the word f-r-o-z-e."
"Huh!" exclaimed the child. "Now spell rose," said the moth
er. The child hesitated. Finally she
said, "I don't know whether to say r-o-z-c or r-o-c-s."
"Spell it r-o-s-c," said the moth- er, "though there is another word pronounced just like it that's spell- ed r-o-c-s. That word is the name of the spawn (if fishes."
The child looked perplexed. "Just one word more," said the
mother. "Tell me how you spell blows."
"Well." said the little girl, who had had quite enough nonsense, as she viewed it, from her mother and had suddenly made up her mind to pay back in kind, "1 spell it three ways. 1 spell it 5-1-o-s-e for break- fast, b-1-o-c-s far dinner and U-1-o-z-e for supper."

rouse the slumbering spirit of the nation by verse." I must admit my- self that I have not the faintest rec- ollection of any appeal that Alfred has made to my slumbering spirit, and I can only conclude, with shame that my slumber was BO deep that I did not even hear his modest pipe calling me to the war dance. This confession applies, so far as I am concerned, to all the bards who, it we arc to believe the laureate, have been playing the same tune. The way he puts it suggests that the slumbering public is to blame lot not having woke up and faced the music. But it is just possible that the fault may be with the music or the musicians. One remembers many patriotic poets, from Tyrtacus to Bouget de Lisle, who have had no reason to complain that when they piped the audience did not dance.— London Truth.

Oh, a sister's love is charming, as every- body knows, nnd a handsome cous- in's love is nice—that is, I should suppose. And the love of a true lover is the love that cannot pall.

His Majesty's Knee.
A Norwegian journal tells the Dg Btorj about the crown
prince of Norway. Too much at- tcntion from those about him made little Prince Olaf somewhat bead- strong and, like most children, in- cline! to be a little tyrannical to- ward his playfellows. The other day he became angry with another little boy who had placed himself on a certain chair. "You mustn't sit there!" he cried. "It's my father's place." King llaakon happened to be present and took the offending boy on his own knee by way of con- solation. Prince Olaf was angrier than ever. "You mustn't sit there either," he insisted. "It's my moth- er's place."—Dundee Advertiser.
