C., Monday Evening, November 2, 1908. State Libarion ~~ No. 352 White Slaves MILLIONAIRE IS A LEADER. His Identity Revealed by the Clearing House Directory and He Will be Arrested Shortly— Said That Enough Evidence can be Procured to Send the Man to Sing Sing for a Long Term. New York, Nov. 1—A million- &ire merchant has been revealed as one of the leaders in the white slave traffic of this city. His identity was betrayed by the “‘clearing house’’ directory captured by Agent Victor M. Pis- sarra, of the Children’s Society. It is declared he will be placed behind the bars as soon as the evidence has been completed by the addition of a single link. This link, it is said, will be instrument- al in sending the rich trafficker in young girls to Sing Sing prison for a long term, “‘The millionaire’s name and telephone call are in the white slave private telephone directory which was seized,’’ said Pissarra.’ “‘T am not at liberty to divulge this man’s name, but it should not be diffieult to ascertain it. We are certain he has made a business of supplying champagne to scores of evil resorts, whose names ap- pear in the confiscated directory, and we are working to establish a more definite connection. I don’t know what police protection these places had. On that subject Mag- istrate Crane obtained his infor- mation from another source than the society.”’ ‘‘T have gone over the address book,’’ said Magistrate Crane to- day, ‘‘and it is a revelation to me. I never dreamed that there could be so much vice and such kind of vice anywhere in this land. ‘The ease is the most awful one I have read of.”’ As to the name of the politician cennected in the case, Magistrate Crane said: ‘‘He, has not been arrested on any charge, and will not be until there is conclusive ev- idence. I don’t want to do any man an injustice, and until I have had tv matter thoroughly inves- tigated I will not even hint at his name,”? Like (ee ——. The Importance of the House. We desire to-commend the ac- tion of The Charlotte Daily Obser- ver jn so forcibly representing the importance of a full Democratic representation in corgress from this state, aswell, also, a strong Pemoeratic legislature. The Ob- server desires to inapress the im- portance of the fact that the Re- publican platform promises @ re- duction of Southern representa- tion in the national councils, a matter which is of importance to Southern Republicans as well as Democrats. The only way to pre- vent this is by electing a Demo- eratic administration—or at least a majority inthe lower house of Congress. In this sense this is perhaps one of the most impor- tant elections ever held or perhaps that ever wil Ibe held. Let every North Carolinian do kis duty in this matter. Let every Democrat go to the polls next Tuesday and vote—and vote right. ee SOD COTTON MARKET. _ Local Market. Prices paid at wagon: dl i ie .

PATTERSON Was Held Yesterday From Home of Grief Stricken Mother— More of the Details Regarditg the Sad Death of This Popular Young Man. The funeral services over, the remains of Thomas Blakely Pat- terson were held yesterday from the home of the dead boy’s moth- er, Mrs. Margaret Patterson on Front street. All that was mortal of the young man arrived here on No. 11 yesterday at about 10:40 a’clock, and was taken td thé home of the grief stricken moth- er. Rev. H. H. Robbins and Rev. J. B. Branch eonducted the ser- vices and the interment followed at Oakwood. The diseased was a member of the Brotherhood of Trainmen and four members of that order ac- companied the remains from Co- lumbia, 8. C. to this city. They were Messrs. T. E. Monts, F. E. Ross, 8. R. Boone, and C. D. Ware. Together with Messrs, E W. Osment and B. M. Garrison, railroad employees of this city, they constituted the pall bearers. It seems that the fatal accident occurred at the fair grounds at Columbia. Young Patterson was standing on top of a freight car that was loaded with horses. The ear left the rails and before the boy hardly realized what had happened it turend over on its side ang he was burried beneath it. It is probable that he was in- stantly killed. He had been working on the road for about four years and ran from Columbia, S. C., to Augus- ta, Ga., as a flagman. Blake Patterson, as he was best known, was about 21 years of age and was well and most favor- ably known here where he was reared. Besides his mother he is sur- fvived by two sisters and one brother. They are Mrs. Gus Rives and Miss Nell Patterson and Mr. Claude Patterson all of this city. He was a nephew of Alder- !man J. A. Conner and Chief of Po- lice C. W. Conner. The friends and relatives of the young man expressed much grat- ‘fication at the kindness shown the deceased by the members of the committee that accompanied the remains to this city! They returned to Columbia last night. —__~+@>o—__— The Little Helpers. The aid society of Temple Im- manuel, known as The Little Helpegs, gave a delightful little surprise party on Wednesday af- ternoon at the home of Miss Leah Stephany in honor of Mises Ida and Corinne Clarke, whose early departure from the city is so much regretted by their many friends. The two honor guests received pretty souvenirs. The company was then invited to a set table, beautifully arrang- ed, and tempting dishes proved a delightful and happy ‘“‘surprise party.” —— > (oe Some Fine Begonias. A fine collection of begonias is on exhibition in the office of the Statesville Realty ang Investment Company. There are some six or seven different varieties, no two being alike. The plants are large and thrifty and very handsome. Mr. John A. Parker is very fond of them and they receive the best of care. ——+oar-e——— Sheriff Harris Here. Sheriff James F. Harris, of Ca- f barrus county, spent yesterday! in the city with ihs son, Roland Stains and Tinges....... ..6@714 | Harris, returning to his home at A BAD RAILROAD WRECK. City This Morning of Many Killed and Injured but This is Not True—Cars Simply Left the Rails. News of a _ serious railroad wreck reached this city early to- day and as usual the reports that arrived were greatly exaggerated. One story was the effect that 30 or 40 people had been kill- ed ani another report had about that number serivusly injured. As near as could be learned up to the hour of going to press the facts are as follows: No. 36 left the track this morn- ing at Nebo about 69 miles from here. All of the cars except a Pullman left the rails and all traf- fic is blocked. No one is seriously injured. : Nebo is between Marion and Bridgewater. ; —~-6- + Odd Items From Everywhere. Lee, autmobilist, came over Ja- cobs Ladder backward recently. The gasoline in his car was so slow that it would not run from the tank to the front of the ma- chine when it was at an angle. Accordingly he changed ends, and, although it was dark, went over the Ladder in good shape.

Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 1—‘‘I jus’ couldn’t bear to see maa ‘lil honey boy going aroun’ with a black face, boss, when all de other chillun had white face, sol put de paint on to make it white.’’ That’s what Martha Phillips, a typical ‘‘mammy’’ with a ging- het apron and a sunbonnet, told venile court this morning between many tears and much use of the aporn. William McKinley Washington Phillips, aged 5, was with her. His face was about the shade of the sacred white elephant that Barnum palmed off on the public for the real thing. Judge Shaffer told the old ‘“‘mammy’”’ to take William Mc- Kinley George Washington back kome, and the paint would event- ually wear off, but that she had better not try it again. ++ BIG PARADE TONIGHT. One Thousand Torches Have Been Ordered for the Event—Column Will Form at 7:30 p. m., In the Square. As The Mascot goes to press this afternoon it is announced that everything is in readiness for the big democratic torchlight parade and rally tonight. One thousand torches have ar- rivegd and will be filled and trim- med, all ready for use. They will be distributed atthe city scales, near the square andthe column will form at 7:30 o‘clock in the square. The parade will take in all of the principal streets of the city and will conclude at the court house. | The speaking will follow the parade. Hon, Cameron Morrison of Charlotte will be the principal speaker. Mr. Morrison is one of the most celebrated political ora- tors in the state and there will doubtless be a big crowd out to hear him. Hon. Theo. F. Kluttz of Salis- bury is also advertised to speak. a DUMP NO TRASH IN STREETS. Several Cmplaitts Have Been Made to Mayor Grier That an Ordinance is Being Violated and That Official Issues a Warning. Mayor Grier stated this morn- ing that a number of complaints had been made to him in regard to the manner in which certain people are disposing of their trash. It is said that after cleaning up their premises certain individuals have dumped their trash, old leaves, ete., into the street. This act is in direct violation of a city ordinance and the mayor says that in the future the law will be enforced. He desires, how- to give all a fair warning. If any have thoughtlessly thrown their old leaves or other rubbish into them to have it removed at an early date. nly AEP Chief Clerk F. T.

At half past five o’clock this morning Mr. Alonzo J. Devereaux died at his home on East Broad street in this city. The deceased had been in ill health for something over a cou- ple of months but his condition was not generally considered to be eritical. Hi. had been a sufferer with a nervous disorder and besides this had an affliction on one of his low- er limbs that was very painful and nid not yield to treatment. The deceased was 62 years of age and up till the time he was taken ill had been employed as night telegraph operator at the depot. See Besides a widow Mr. Devereaux is survived by four children as follows: Mrs. E. W. MeNeil of Salisbury,, Ernest Devereaux of Savannat, Ga., Julian Devereaux who is in the United States army and Russell Devereaux who has always lived with his parents. The deceased is also survived by one brother, William D. Dev- ereaux who lives in New York. A daughter, Miss Lucile Dever- eaux died on September 13. The funeral will probably be held some time tomorrow but the arrangements have not been per- fested as yet. ———_~++2>-—_—— The Young Man. Reputation may not be what a man realy is but it has a great deal to do with hig current value in the minds ‘of people who have oceasion to do business with him. It is a peculiar fault of the young fellow that he thinks him- self entitled to sow wild oats and that no one will think the worse of him for it. ee He thinks that so long as he is free in sclfool or college per- haps, and net employed by any one to whom he is responsible, it does not matter if he does live mre or less carelessly. Few young men realize that they are all the time under the wathchful eye of the business men who know them and to whom they are likely to apply for assistance or positions later. This is prac- tically true in the smaller towns. ‘Not that the alder mgn are watching with a desire to spy up- on younger ones, but a man who employes men wants to know what sort of men he is employing and he wants to know where to turn for the right men when he needs them, | His watchfulness is merely sen- sible foresightedness, ‘ Life insurance companies are sup posed to be especially level head- ed in their judgement of men. The young fellow with his eye on a business career may well ttakp note of their methods in his own connection. . The inability to get life insur- ance is about the last judgment upon a man. The life insurance company is a sort of a court of last resort, and once turned down by it, there is no appeal. A young man of good family and of good enough physical con- dition applies to one of the old line companies for insurance and the application stated that he did not use intoxicating liquors. — Of course an application from a youth of seventeen or 80 with the statement that he did use them even though it might state moder- ation would be rejected at once. In fact few habitual drinkers of that age would be applying for imsurance . The company took occasion to EARLY MORNING BLAZE, Roof of Gaither Lumber Com- pany’s Plant Catches Fire From Over Heated Smoke Stack— Damage is Slight. At about 7:20 o’clock this mrning the roof of the Gaither Lumber Company plant near the depot was discovered to be in flames. The fire had caught from the big smolge stack which had be- come overheated. The whistle on the factory was sounded and the fire department responded. The lumber plant is equipped with a reel and hose for use in just such an emergency and the employees made good use of this. The flames were practically un- der control before the fire depart- ment arrived and the damage was slight. ——_—_~2-<4t - A Successful Masquerade. The masquerade party at the opera house last Saturday night was a success and was greatly en- joyed by a large number of young people. Some of the costumes were very elaborate. The prize for the best costume was awarded to Miss Effie Seago and Mr. Shirley Jen- kins. The former wore an im- personation of autumn and the player.

It behooves a young man to give serious consideration to the matter of his reputation -whlen! he -is young and thinks himself independent. §f Such agencies as Dun or Bradstreet are taking it up young men of college age, and io put the escapades of those youths upon record isn’t it time that any fellow who wants to make good sees to it that he is not handicapp- ed at the start by an official re- port of times when he has been drunk or disorderly? One evening of so called fun may cost him the chance to which he is looking forward. Whether considered from a bus- iness or a moral standpoint, there ig but one view to be taken of the king of fun that the great com mercial agencies and the business interests of the country, unite to watch withaview to eliminate men who indulge in it. The fellow who wants to suc- eeed cannot afford to tamper with his moral or physical reputation. Even a little hole in one’s repu- tation grows larger as easily and and its growth is no more easily, stopped than the water is damm- ed.

This reduction of expenses has been caused manly by a reduc- tion of freight hauled, amounting for the year ended June 30, 1908 to over 10,000,000 tons, and by the passage of laws reducing-passen- ger rates. The earth was produc- ing abundantly when the troubles began and has continued to pro- duce abundantly during the en- tire depression. The reason why the business of the road decreased and why the adverse laws were passed, and why laborers had to discharged, was largely due to excessive and discriminating agi- tation. That agitation made it popular for every legislature to begin anti-railroad legislation. People who had money to lend were afraid to lend it to the com- panies. Therefore, the railroads had to stop improvements. They could not borrow money to pay for extensions or betterments, and thusands of laborers were dis- charged. The usual amount of rails could not be ordered. That put the men in the steel mills out of a job. It put out of business the men who dig the iron ore to be converted into steel rails. It put out of business the miners who dig coal for the steel fur- naces and the men who made the locomotives to haul it, the cars to carry it, and the men engaged in transportation. The railroad men, the miners, the steel work- which has Jers by the thousands being out of work, usual supply of manufac- tured goods, of clothing, of shoes, of hats, of carpets of household articles. Thusands of men, there- fore, engaged in the manufacture of these things lost their jobs. It was an endless chain of depres- sion and distress. Earnings in all kinds of business decreased, and the los fel most heavily upon the unfortunate laboring man.”’ But who started this agitation? Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States, the man who nominated Taft and who is now begging the people to elect him. He raised the ery against the tariff-fed trusts which had been built up under the Republican policies. He raised the ery against his friend Harriman, who had at the president’s request, raised $126,000 for the campaign fund of 1904. Te it was who at business should go to the wall. Yet the Sun would have us be- lieve that the only way to undo velt’s man to the presidency and to continue the policies of Roose- velt and the republican party, brought on. And the Sun and its associates, Roosevelt and all, ery aloud that if Bryan is elected the hard times will be harder. This is insolent. The republi- eans have claimed credit for all the prosperity the country has en- joyed. Yet when hard times eome they say that the depression is due to agitation. Politics aside, we firmly believe that the panie was the direct re- sult of the riot and debachery, and that it was precipitated by by the incendiary talk and spec- tacular action of Theodore Roosevelt. Republicanism is responsible, should be held responsible by the masses, and we trut they will not neglect to give expression to their feelings at the polls tomorrow. ————__+-+>- —___- Won’t it be hard for some of the fellows to stop talking after it is all over. | : & « “= ~ the beginning of the panic of last | — fal] served notice, that he would |" eontinue his policies, even though | the mischief, is to ‘elect Roose- ‘under which the hard times were- Morning Tonic. : Ask the mother who holds in her arms her boy, what her ideals is concerning him, and she will tefl you that she desires that his heart may be so pure that it could be laid upon a pillow and not leave a stain; that his ambition may be so holy that it could be whispered in an angel’s ear; and that his life may be so clean that his mother, his sister, his wife, his child, could read a record of its every thought and act without a blush.

Speaking at Oxford, Neb., Mr. Bryan said that he brought good news, news in which the farmers would be interested.

The only con- clusion was that the dpws would go drf if I was elected ang there would be no use for separators. Now, my friends, I ean relieve your minds for the reasfon that I have a telegram from the largest firm of manufacturers of cream separators in This country. I will read it to you. It is from the Iowa Dairy Company of Water- loo, Iowa, and reads. “J have seen the threat of the Pennsylvania separathr company to close down their shop in the event of your election. We, as the largest manufacturers of separators in the “United States, will agree oin the event of that company’s threat being put into effect, to take their men into our employ.”’ But my friends the not go dry. —_—_—_—++2>-o—__—_ An increased demand for sub- sidiary silver coinage noted in Washington is regarded as an evidence of returning prosperity.

Friday evening from 8:30 to 12 o’clock Miss Blanche Dotson de- lightfully entertained a number of at a Hallwe’én party. Miss Dotson’s house on West Front street was beautifully dec- orated in ferns, autumn leaves and wrining pumpkin jack-o-lanterns. The guests were met on the porch by a sheeted figure which silently pointed to a large black eat bearing this placard on his neck: ‘‘Bad luck for two persons to pass on opposite sides of an ob- ject unless they say ‘‘bread and butter.”’ 3efore the mirrors the girls found another black eat bearing the warning, ‘‘Bad luck for two people to look in the glass at the some time unless they smile. At every turn one was met by these black cat messengers of evil and her friends their warnings. After the guests had arrived the young ladies were masked, representing ghosts and the young men were requested to identify them. Miss Jannie Miller remained un- known the longest and received the prize, a good luck pin. Cheshire eat smiling contest was productive of much amuse- ment. The smiles were measured and the prize, a small silver pin fell to Miss Cline and Mr. Cowan, whose smiles measured eight inches. After delicious supper served picnie fashion in the dinning room floor, the guests amused them- selves with the old fashioned games, blind man’s bluff, pussy wants a corner, ete. Soon worn out,they then sat around the glow- ing fire and related thrilling ghost tales until twelve o’clock put an end to this delightful evening. _———-+ > oe —____ TWINKLINGS. “T hear Lushley has bought his boy a pony.”’ ‘‘When I saw him he was buying schooners for him- self.’’—Pucek.

First came a big torehlight pa- rade. This formed in the square and as it started up West Broad street it is probable that over a thou- sand men were in line. That was the number of torches that the committee ordered made and there was many on hand who de- sired them and could not obtain one as the supply had _ been ex- hausted. All of the prominent democrats were to be seen in the column lawyers, doctors and other profes- sional men. A good sized crowd of young men brought up the rear. The streets were crowded and as the procession passed along it was constantly given ar. ovation. At several points along the line of march red fire was _ burned. Some of the marchers had tin horns, while others provided themselves with big megaphones. With all the noise and enthusiasm the crowd was an orderly one and not a single arrest was made. Following the return to the eourt house a big bonfire was started in the street in front of the monument and this was kept burning briskly until a late hour. Clerk of Court J. A. Hartness was master of ceremonies at the } court house. First the Taylorsville band gave a concert, the program consist- ing of several selections. The band boys have recently uprehas- ed new uniforms and present 2 very good appearance. Most of the members are young fellows but they produce excellent music on their instruments and the au- dienece showed its appreciation of their work by its frequent ap- pleuse. ry je Ex-Lieutenant Governor W. D. Turner was introduced by Chair- man Hartness as the first speak- er. His eloquence was listened to attentively and at times he had his audience in roars of laughter by his witticisms. He said Roosevelt had been announced as a trust buster but that the only trust he had ever gone after se- riously was the ‘‘In God We ° Trust’? on our coins. : Hon. Harry P. Grier, mayor of Statesville, was the second speak- er. He made an eloquent appeal to the voters not to do any “‘seratehing’’ today but to- vote the straight democratic ticket. He spoke partieufarly in regard to Mr. Hackett and Mr. Deaton and said they were worthy of and : entitled to the undivided demo- eratie support. In an eloquent effort Senator Zeb ¥> Long tv'd of the short- eontings of th2 republican - party and gave most excellent reasons why Mr. Bryan should be elected.

The Salisbury Post says: Carlton Jackson, the Norfolk negro, arrested on Thursday evening of last week was given a hearing this morning before Esquire Kesler and sent up to the November term of Rowan superi- or court without bond. The little negro girl, who hard- ly looks the 7 years she is, made an intelligent witness despite her tender years. She told the same story of the attempted criminal assault that she related to her mother last Thursday morning. Jackson attempted to discredit the child’s story by asking ques- tions as to the wearing apparel of the man who assaulted her but Esquire Kesler asked the ques- tions for him and thetot gave an intelligent answer to all. The defendant was not repre- sented by counsel but made a cross eXamination in his own be- half throughout. The presiding justice eoncluded that the evidence was all sufficient to send the negro up without bond. —_—~<@>-e—____ Mr. Caldwel lat Mooresville. ne of the biggest times of the campaign was “pulled off” last night by the democrats of Cod- dle Creek. The final gun was fired and it was a big sounding gun at that, and one that is sure to have brought many G. O. P. &calps to the democratic belts. It had been intended to hold the speaking at thecentral school in the auditorium but it was dis- covered late in the day that the place would not be available as it had been engaged for alecture. Consequently Pythian hall was used. Hon. L. C. Caldwell; of this city, was the speaker. He was introduced by Hon. Zeb V. Turlington and spoke for an hour and ahalf. When he con- cluded his remarks there were cries of “go on,” “go on,” “give ug some more of that good old democratic hot shot,”’ etc. —_— At the Opera House Thursday.

For some time the officials of Iredell county have looked with more or less suspicion on the op- erations of Alfred Meyers. Meyers is an old white man, a farmer in a small way and is a cripple. He lives in, or near the edge of Wilkes county and for some time it has been suspected that he had been dealing in the stuff that ‘‘stingeth like a ser- pent.”’ Last Saturday night word was received in this city that the old fellow was headed in this direc- tion with a generous supply of ‘‘eorn liker’’ and the sheriff, ac- eompanied by the deputy sheriff set ont to investigate the matter. When a few miles out from the city the officials came up with the old fellow. He was driving a steer cart and in the cart was a shot gun. This was the first thing Mr. Ward got his hands on. There was also a five gallon keg in the eart and this contained about three gallons of whiskey. The erippie told the - officers that he had this for‘his own use and gave a more or less plausable ex;lanation of how he came by it. The officials in return gave the old chap some exceedingly sound advice and told him in no unmis- takable terms what would be lia- ble to happen if he was caught selling any of the stuff and then drove away and left him. 4 Election Returts.

Leader of Buncombe Democracy Attacked in His Headquarters by Infuriated Republican Aspi- rant to Office—Political Situa- tion in Asheville Exciting. Asheville, Nov. 2.—The politi- cal situation here tonight is inter- esting and in instances intense. The natural excitement of the campaign has intensified this af- ternoon when Robert Greenwood, Republican candidate for a place on the county board of education assaulted County Chairman D. E. Sevier, of the Democratic execu- tive committee, in Democratic headquarters. Greenwood struck Sevier under the eye, inflicting a »severe cut. The trouble grew out of a publication this afternoon by Frank Carter and T. F. Hunter. Democratic candidates for’ the state senate and_ sheriff, respee- tively, in which Greenwood was involved, It is said that Greenwood went to headquarters looking for Car- ter; that he was cursing and that Chairman Sevier told him to hush; Emergzon Eve, who was there, says that Greenwood struck Se- vier and the men clinched but were separated. The contention is that the county chairman struck first. This, however, is denied. There is considerable indigna- tion expressed tonight by Chair- man Sevier’s friends over the oe-| currence, they taking the position | that the attack on Sevier was un- provoked. ——————H+ear-o—____ Funeral of Mr. Devereaux.

At 3 o’clock this afternoon it was generally estimated that from 80 to 85 per cent of the vote had been east. A feature of the day’s work was the early voting.

So dur- ing several years Bergmann got around him a number of women and men, all of considerable means, all well educated, all seek- ‘ng to lift the impenitrable veil that hides the unknown. As soon as he thought every- ‘hing was ripe for his undertaking Bergmann announced to his fol- lowers that he was about to build sopper would be changed into the yrecious meal.

Besides the seances there were prayer meetings, at which Berg- mann, dressed as a high priest, stood before an elaborate altar and went through various num- meries of his own invention, One of his deciples gave him in one sum $100,000.

EVERY GOOD LOOKING MAN. On Meeting Them She Makes Pro. posals on The Spot and Sug- Gests Immediate Marriage. Has Been Adjudged Insane and Must Go To Asylum. Chippewa Falls, Wis. Nov. 2.— Adjudged insane Miss Mary Clark nineteen years old, has been 6r- dered to the asylum at Mendota. Her mania is that she thinks ge is in love with every good-look ing man she meets and proposes immediate marriage. When she came here to visit per parents she informe dthem she was about to begin breach of prom ise proceedings for $10,000 against a Mimeappolis man, whom she had met in coming here from North Dakota. They.went to consult Dr, Wil- liams, who at once decided that she was mentally unbalanced. Be- fore leaving his office she proposed to him and suggested that the event be celebrated with a large dancing party. Miss Clark was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Clark, of North Dakota, eleven years ago. About a year she was ill. Leading North Da- kota physicians were consult'ed Next came the matrimonial mania. en A eb The Mighty Power of Mi-o-na.

Voters, on One Side Being the Supporters of The Present Plan of Divorces While Walt, and of The Other The Advocates of a More Stringent Statue. -- .... Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 2— Whether South Dakota will retain its reputation as the common wealth where divorces are grant- ed “‘while you wait’? is one of the issues to be decided in the election in this state . On one side are ranged the law- yers, the hotel keepers and a great many business men who believe that the divorce industry should be maintained and nourished as one of the state’s prosperity; op- posed to these are thousands of farmers, clergymen and business men who believe that the present divorce law is a disgrace to the state and that it should be wiped out and a more stringent statue, substituted. The battle is wag- ing merrily and in the meantime the members of the Sioux Falls ‘divorce coloney who have nok yet received the magic pieces of spaper that spell [liberty from? matrimonial infilicities are oceu- pying the anxious seat. Present eppearances indicate that the new law will receive a sufficient num- ber of votes to make it effective. The present law requires orly six months’ residence\in order to Leeome a eitizen of the state, and permits the k-iting of hearings in ctvoree cases in ehambees which tend to make many, -f them of the ‘‘star chamber’’ va- riety. This enables divorce ap- plicants of prominence practically to secure secret divorezs by pre- venting the newspapers from get- ting the particular of the hear- ings. or even the fact that a di- vorce decree has been granted in a particular ease. There are hundreds of instan- ees in the last few years in which society leaders in the larger cities of the United States., of Europe and elsewhere and men and wo- men of wealth from various coun- “tries of the world have establish- ed residences in South Dakota, and at the expiration of the six months’ period have quietly ob- tained their divorces and disap- peared without anyone being the wiser and without newspapes being able to get the slightest, in- formation in regard to a partie- ular case, the details of the di- voree cases having been effeé- ually eoneealed. The suppression of the details of hearings in divorce -eases in not wish any publicity has done which the parties concerned did more to make the present divorce law unpopular than any othr feature of the wholesale divoree industry of Sioux Falls and South Dakota. The voters generally! have believed, that there is no more reason why the divorce suits of temporary residents of the state should be suppressed than those of persons who are residents of South Dakota, and fiave felt compelled to apply to the divoree courts for relief from galling mat- rimonial bonds. The new divorce law which will _ be referred to thev oters at the election now in progress raises the period , of residence from six months to one yedr and. requires that all divorce actions shall be held in open court inseead of “‘in chambers” as has been the prac- tice in numerous instanees under the present law. ————+a>e—____ Crazy Woman in Jail.

Gold- man, the groceryman, announc- ed that he proposed to distribute three valuable presents to his customers on Nov. 1, Theseconsisted of animitation cut glass punch bowl, a very handsome electric table lamp and & pretty china tea set. For over two months these ar- ticles have been on display in Mr, Goldman’s front window where they have attracted much atten- fion. With each 50 cent purchase Mr. Goldman gave his customers 4 coupon ticket entitling them toa chance to obtain one of the gifts. The covpons were placed in & box that was securely nailed up and the purchaser retained the ticket, At 5 o’clock yesterday after- noon & committee of citizens of which Magistrate Sloan was the chairman, supervised the draw- lag. A small colored boy, unknown to any fine present, was called in from the street and after he had been securely bliadfolded thecov- er was pried off of the box and after the several: thousand cou- pons had been thoroughly shak- en up and mixed, the lad was in- structed to draw out three of them. He did this and the cou- pons contained the following numters: - 4707. . 2005. 4507. The first number receives the puch bowl, the second the lamp and the third the tea set. Only one of the winners had presented his ticket up to noon today.. This was Mr, A. H. Gil- more who held No. 2005' and wins the lamp. 28 J.K. Morrison & Sons Co., vs. Southern Express Co. 29 J.K.

Iredell County Does Its Duty by Jim Deaton and Other Democratic Candidates— Republican Promise of Protection to Whiskey Makers and Sellers in Wilkes County Serves to Roll Up a Big Cowles Vote and Assist in Defeat of Con- gressman Hackett—Kitchen’s Majority Considerably Less Than Glenn’s— Bryan Made Great Gains Over Parker’s Vote ot Four Years Ago—State Leg- islature Will Be Democratic Again By Good Margin. New York, Nov. 4—General election returns from throughout the United States received up to noon today show the cHoreney: re- sults, Willam H. Taft, of Ohio, has been elected President with 298 votes secure and 13 doubtful. Practically no change is indi- cated in the complexion of the national house of representatives. The United States will retain its present Republican majority. Governor Charles E. Hughas' has been re-elected in New York State by about 76,000 plurality. Indiana has gone for Taft by from 15,000 to 18,000 plurality. Bryan apparently has carried Nebraska, although the Republi- cans still claim the state. Ohio returns have been serious- ly delayed owing to the immense size of the ballot, but Taft as earried the state by a majority ranging from 50,000 to 75,000. Taft earried New York city by about 11,000 plurality, this being the first time the city has given its vote to a Republican presiden- tial eandidate since 1896, when Mr. McKinley had a small plural- ity. Mr. Taft received greater plu- rality in New York state than President Roosevelt did four years ago, the indications point- ing to 202,000 for Mr. Taft, as against 175,000 for Mr. Roosevelt. Hisgen, the Independent party eandidate for president received about 28,000 votes in Greater New York. The indications are that Demo- eratie governors have been elect- ed in several of the Middle Wes- tern States that have given their presidential votes to Taft. Mr. Taft has exceeded Mr. Roosevelt’s plurality in New Jer- sey and in Massachusetts, as well as in New York. The Republican pluralities fell off heavily in the Middle West in a manner thoroughly surprising to the Republican managers. Speaker Cannon has been re- elected by his usual majority. Representatives Payne, of New York, and Dalzell, of Pennsylva- nia, have been re-elected and the House of Representatives proba- bly will continue under its old regime. Mr. Payne will have charge of the new tariff bill in the extra session which Mr. Taft will eall immediately after March 4th next. Missouri has returned to the “solid South’? on the Presidential ticket, and elected Cowherd as its governor. The first returns received came from seattering districts in Massa- shusetts. The heavy pluralities indicated there for Mr. Taft seemed at once to dissipate any probability of a ‘‘landslide’’ for Mr. Bryan, as many Democrats had claimed and the Republican managers at once began to put out claims of vietory. Returns from the up-country districts of New York state, where voting machines are largely used, were the next to arrive. It had been predicted for days that Erie county including the heavy vote of Buffalo might be taken as an index to the drift throughout the country. This proved to be the ease so far as the national ticket was concerned. Mr. Taft having a plurality of something more than 4,000 votes. Erie county surprisingly, however, gave Lieutenant Governor Chan- ler a plurality of more than 3,000. The opponents of Gov. Hughes were quick to claim a sweeping victory, but returns from the oth- er large counties and cities soon changed the complexion of the re- turns completely. The vote in Greater New York for Mr. Chan- ler was deeply disappointing to his friends, while the heavy vote Mr. Taft, especially in the borough of Brooklyn, completely eclipsed the most sanguine hopes of the Republicans. Governor Hughes was cut heavily up the state, but not so deeply as to imperi! his election, once the drift in his fa- vorites ‘“‘below the Bronx’’ had begun to make itself felt. Some of the figures relating to the Republican slump in states re- garded as certainly Repubhean are little short of amazing. Penn- sylvania’s immense plurality of over 500,000 four years ago has been cut in two. Illinois which gave Roosevelt 305,000 in 1904 has gone for Taft by about 170,- 000. The highest claim of the Republicans for Indiana is 15,000 as against approximately 93,000. Iowa, which gave Mr. Roosevelt 158,000 plurality in 1904, has dropped down to about 40,000 for Mr. Taft. The return of Missou- ri to the Democracy on the presi- dential ticket wiped out a Repub- liean plurality of four years ago. Maryland’ and West Virginia are confidently claimed by the Republicans, but the returns are to meagre to justify a classifica- tion of either state. Massachu- setts, New York and New Jersey were striking exceptions to the generally reduced Republican plu- ralities. There has been a shrinkage of the Democratic vote in several of the Southern states, notably in Virginia and North Carolina. Mr. Taft has carried Wisconsin by a plurality estimated at 75,000, a falling from the Roosevelt plu- rality of 156,000 in 1904. Kentucky has gone safely for for Mr. Bryan by about 15,000. Representative W. S. Cowherd has been elected Governor of Mis- souri, over Hadley, republican, by about 20,000. Governor John A. Johnson, of Minnesota, has probably been electeq Governor of that state for a third term, although the state has gone safely for Mr. Taft. The voting throughout the coun- try has been exceptionally heavy, ideal weather conditions bringing out the country voters in full foree. ? Mr. Taft carried practically every so-called doubtful state ex- | eept Nebraska, where the indiea- tions point to a Democratic vic- tory. Mr. Bryan has carried Ne- vada and Montana, in addition to the solid South, which includes Missouri. Returns from Colorado and from Maryland are too meagre to form a definite conclusion as to their ultimate alignment. STATE MAJORITY REDUCED. Democratic Ticket for North Caro- lina is Elected by a Majority Ranging From Thirty to Forty Thousand—Old North State Re. mains True to Democratic Tra- ditions—Returns are Incom- plete. North Carolina is still Demo- cratic. The returns from many sections of the state are incomplete at the hour of going to press. Nevertheless _ reports from counties of the state show that the Democratic state ticket, headed by Hon. W. W. Kitchin, is elected by an approximate majority of prob ably 30,000, Democratic Chairman Eller elaims that the majority will be from 40,000 to 45,000, basing his estimates on returns from fifty- two counties. Fifty-six counties are safely Democratic, twelve are Republican and six are in doubt. the remaining number, mostly mountain and extreme eastern counties. But with all their gains the Re- publicans have not carried the leg- islature, though the majority may not be as large as it was last ses. sion. Senator Overman’s re-elec- tion to the United States senat is therefore assured. MR, HACKETT DEFEATED. This Congressional District is Lost to the Democrats by Something Over 1,000 Votes—Democrats Charge That Promises of Pro- tection to The Whiskey Men of Some of the Counties Coltri- buted tot he Result, The returns from the eighth congressional district indicate the election of Mr. Cowles by over 1,000 majority. Some of Mr. Cowles’s friends are claiming his election by 1,500. Many pre- cincts are yet to be heard from. Mr. Hackett’s majority in this county has fallen off about 200 and in Rowan from 300 to 400. In addition it is said that Stan- 4ly ang Cabarrus, both Democratic two years ago, have gone Repub- lican, while Wilkes has given seventy-four of the ninety-eight| Moves to Her Farm. Mrs. S. A. Woodward moved yesterday from her cottage on East Broad street to her farm, the Weston place, two miles north of Statesville. Mrs. R. L. Moore and children of Salem, Va., have arrived and will make their future home with Mrs. Woodwarg who is Mrs. Moore’s mother, ss gota inte greatly increased Republican ma- jorities. Mr. Hackett lost out in Alex- ander as did the entire county ticket. The Democratic majority in the district two years ago was 1 ,061. IN IREDELL COUNTY. Returns Are Not in for Nearly all of the County Officers—Hack- ett’s Majority Was 716 and the Others are Elected by Probably & Slightly Larger Figure. It is impossible to give the vote cast for county officers in Iredell. The returns from many of the precincts are not in and will not be until the county board meets at the court house at noon tomor- cow. It is known that all the demo- cratic candidates have been elect- ed and with majorities all the way from 500 to 800. In some parts of the county Young ran slightly ahead of his ticket while in others Deaton did the same. It is generally believed that Mr. Deaton’s majority wil! not be be- low 700. The voting shows, however, that Bryan for president has the largest majority in the county, about 750. Hackett’s majority is 716 against 920 two years ago. The vote of the various town- ship reported up to the hour of going to press is as follows: Shiloh. Bryan 182, Taft 129; Kitchin 188, Cox, 123; Hackett 184, Cowles 123.

Just at the time when this coun- try is beginning to struggle with the problem of husbanding its forest resources, of protecting its mountain slopes, and of improv- ing the waterways, it is interest- ing to know that the Japancse have successfully attacked the same problem, before the land suf- fered severely from the evil ef- fects following deforestation. The farsighted people of Nip- pon have foreseen the results of the restruction of their extensive mountain forests, and have safe- guarded themselves by placing all of these under government con- trol. The practice of forestry has been carried on in Japan for 2 longer time than in any other country. For 1,200 years the peo- ple of Japan have been planting and growing forests, with a suc- cess that has been a little short of marvelous. Under careful man- agement, the Japanese forests yield very high financial returns.

The woods are first thinned at the age of thirteen years and then every five years after that up to the time of the final harvest, at 120 years. It was with the opening up of the hitherto inaccessible mountain forests that the Japanese gov- ernment became most intensely interested in forestry. The moun- tains were still government land, so all that was necessary to pro- tect them was to place proper restrictions on the sale and cut- ting of timber. This was effected by declaring the forests on the steep slopes as reserved forests, in which the only cutting should be done under government direction. The forests on agricultural lands, not needed for protection, are elassed as available forests, and here the cutting is not so carefully restricted. Thus Japan has effectually pre- vented the stripping of her moun- tain slopes before any great dam- age has been done. In some dis- tricts, where the mountains are near the towns, the slopes have al- ready been cleared, and this has resulted in floods and the wash- ing down of the soil from the these cases have been exceptional, before it was too late to prevent widespread destruction. ——— ++ ___ New Sterling Items.

The United States marines are back from-Panama, where they went to police the elections. The Panama elections were quite peaceful. Usually peace prevails wherever the United States ma- rine corps appears. This body of soldiery was right to bear upon its banners the victorious actions fought at home and abroad. No military organi- zation in this country has fought in so many and varied battles or marine troops. Only a few years ago the naval authorities of the United States reprimanded some officers and some men of the United States marine corps for reckless disre- gard of death in battle in the Philippines and in the expedition to Pekin. In revolutionary times, and in the war of 1812, and on the north coast of Africa and in the Mexi- can war—particularly the storm- ing of Chapultpee—and in the punitive foray on Korea, and in the Philippines, and in China, the United States marine corps has struggled with unvarying valor and distinction. Few celebrated organization of marine soldiers of America. The marine fought under Deca- tur at Tripoli—hand to hand, foot to foot, and sword to sword. That was in 1803. In’ 1905 they per- hievement of the victorious march under Gen. Eaton to Tripoli, where they raised our standard by the victory of a handful of men over millions.

Told Police That He Knew the Men and Would See to it That They Suffered for the Shooting —Said if He Died His Friends Would Look After the Matter for Him. New York, Nov. 3.—Lured into a large hallway, after being told that one of his friends had been taken ill, Bernard Desaldio, of 204 Hester sreet, better known on the eastside as ‘‘Jimmy Kelly,’’ was shot yesterday by members of the ‘‘Humpty’’ Jackson band, who had long been trying to get re- venge. Desaldio was taken to Bellevue hospital, but refused to tell who had shot him. All the information the police could get was that he knew the men and would see to it that they would suffer for the shooting. If he died he said his friends would look out for it. As the wounded man lay on the sidewalk, his wife, who had been waiting in a nearby restaurant, heard of the shooting and came to him. Kneeling be- side the dying man, the woman vowed that if the friends of her husband did not take revenge she would do it herself. Both Kelly and_ his wife had at a ball of the ‘‘Jimmy Kel- ly’? association, a political organi- zation on the lower eastside, of which Desaldio, or Kelly, is the moving spirit. The man was at one time a light-weight pugilist, but sinee his retirement from the ring has managed fighters and also has a well known eafe in east Fourteenth street. When ‘‘Jimmy Kelly”’ first be- came known on the eastside as 2 fighter, the ‘‘Humpty”’ Jackson band was then in power and ter- rorizing the district. Kelly re- fused to beeome affiliated with the band in any way and the enmity then began. When Kelly opened his saloon, ‘‘The Folly,”’ in east Fourteenth street, just east of Third avenue, he refused to allow any of those who were members of the Jackson band to come there, and the bitterness against him be- came more intense. Time and again he had been warned that the band hag sworn to get even but he had always laughed at the threats and said that he could take care of himself. ——_++2>—___ Block Party Tonight.

Maryland Swings into the Taft Column— Republicans Retain CoNtrol of the Next Congress. New York, Nov. 4.—Practically complete returns indicate that Mr. Taft will have a vote of 309 in the electoral college. This is with in 16 votes of the forecast made by National Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock ang 67 more than a ma- jority out of the total electoral vote of 485. The most important news of the late returns indicate that Mary- mington arrived last night for a rand, after vacillating during the day and apparently being safe for the Demoeracy, has been swung into the Taft column. The unoffi- cial figures give Mr. Taft the state by 136 votes. Indiana and West Virgimia. as well as Montana. turned out to be safily Republican. Colorado went for Bryan. Mr. Bryan has a total of 174 votes. two less than he received in 1896. In 1904 Mr. Parker receiv- ed only 140 votes. in 1900 Mr. Bryan received 155 votes and im {896 the Nebraskan received 176 votes. No changes of material interest have been reported-in the congres- sional returns. The Republicans will have about the same working majority in the Sixty-first con- gress as at present, and Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, undoubtedly will sueceed himself as_ speaker. Representatives Jesse Overstreet, of Indiana, and Hepburn, of Iowa, are the most conspicuous among those who have failed of re-elee- tion. The senate retains its Republi- ean complexion, although there will be a material change in the personnel of the upper body of the national legislature. The latest returns indicate that in the national house of represent- atives the Republicans will have 208 members and the Democrats 172, with eleven districts missing. Judge Taft’s plurality in the state of New York, according to corrected returns is 203,495 more than 28,000 in execess of President Roosevelt’s plurality of four years ago. Gov. Charles E. Hughes was re-elected in New York by 71,159. The returns as between president and governor indicate a heavy splitting of tickets. The heavy vote in Ohio made figures extraordinary late owing to the immense size of the ballot. Mr. Taft carried his own state, however, by 50,000 plurality, a re- duction of more than 200,00€ from the Roosevelt vote of four years ago.. In Indiana Mr. Taft was suc’ cessful in carrying the state by about 8,000, but the entire Demo- cratic state ticket headed by Mr. Marshal! for governor, was elect- ed..

Things must be getting mighty dul! down Charlotte way. They have now gone to catching wild rabbits, turning them loose on the floor of Latta Park and then offering prizes to that one of the hoodlums on skates which shall first catch one. The frightened little creatures run and jump in all directions in their efforts to escape the grasp of the skaters. Sometimes, the rollered foot of one of the partici- pants strikes the body of one of the innocent little quadropeds and life is crushed out from its quiver- ering form. Sometimes they die from sheer fright and exhaustion. Massachusetts has at least some laws that are far in advance of those of the old North state. One of these is the statue which makes the old time ‘‘sport’’ of chasing the greased pig a felony. The following recently appear- ed in the Charlotte Observer: “*T wo rabbits fresh from the old fields of Mecklenburg were turn- ed loose ion the floor of the Latta Park skating rink last night, and the skaters had much fun trying Mr. C. D. Meyer had his “‘rabbit foot”? with him and caught the first bunny. The second one with characteristic cunning escaped everybody and gained his freedom by going out through the door In addition to this amusement there was music and dancing and the skaters had an exceptionally enjoyable evening. — —~~++2>>—_. COST OF ELECTIONS. The money expended on the re- eent election throughout the coun- try would be sufficient to put all the unemployed at work, as well as give the poor in many commun- ties the necessaries of life during the coming cold winter. The millions of dollars put out do assist many individuals besides the suecessful candidates, yet most of the money is practically wasted. No one can estimate the aggregate amount of cash that all of the thousands of candidates for public office have spent, but it must be many millions. It is safe to predict that hereaf- ter there will be full and complete publicity concerning campaign contributions before election by all parties, this for the informa- tion and satisfaction of all citi- zens. A proper law on this sub- ject will be demanded of congress and judging by public sentiment it wil! be passed. President Roosevelt has recog- nized how the public feels and in his last annual message, he made the following recommendation: “The need for collecting large campaign funds would vanish if congress provided an appropria- tion for the proper and legitmate expenses of each of the great na- tional parties, an appropriation ample enough to meet the necessi- ty for thorough organization and machinery, which requires a large expenditure of money. Then the stipulation should be made that no party receiving campaign funds from the treasury should aecept more than a fixed amount from any individual subscriber or donor ; and the necessary publicity for receipts and expenditures could without difficulty be pro- vided.”’ ——_++2>-e—____ If it is true as has been asserted in the Progressive Farmer, that the English sparrow is a weed de- stroyer we need several billion more English sparrows. ————+~+e>o—___.

A SCHEME THAT WENT WRONG The Plot to Rob Teddington of the Blue Ribbon In 1851—Leander’s Missing Head—A Dramatic Episode—Win- ners Foretold In Dreams. If it were possible to write the ful) and true history of the Derby it would contain some startling revelations of strange doings behind the scenes of which the public has little suspicion and no actual knowledge. There is, for instance, little doubt that a very different tale would have been told of Teddington’s Derby but for the prompt action of his wide awake owner, Sir Joseph Hawley. When the Kentish baronet attended the York spring meeting of 1851 he was amazed to find the bookmakers eager to lay odds to any amount against his colt, who was looked on as a certain winner of the blue ribbon a few weeks later. Sir Joseph at once scented mischief, and, leaving the course, he traveled as fast as relays of swift horses could take him to his training quarters, where he communi- cated his suspicions to Alec Taylor, his trainer. As the result of their deliberations Teddington was at once removed to another box, placed under the charge of a different boy and a strict watch kept over him night and day. What- ever scheme was on foot to disable the horse was thus effectually checked, Teddington soon resumed his place as first favorite in the betting and, as ev- erybody expected, won the Derby with ease. Another mystery which has not been solved to this day is associated with Leander and that memorable Derby of 1844. It was more than suspected that Leander was a four-year-old, but there was not sufficient evidence on which to base an objection to his running. In the race his fetlock was broken by a kick from Running Rein, and he was effectually placed hors de combat. He was shot and buried, but when a party of sportsmen who wished to test their suspicions dug up his body at dead of night they found that the head, which alone could settle the matter, was gone. Ratan, the second favorite for this race, was made safe by a cunningly Gevised bolus, but’ who administered it was never discovered, and, to crown this Derby as the most shady and fraudulent on record, Running Rein, | who came in first, was found to be none other than Maccabeus, a four- year-old, and thus an impostor of the first water. But when it became neces- sary to produce the horse for an ex- amination by experts it was found that he, like Leander’s telltale head, had been spirited away. In connection with Running Rein, by the oray, a dramatic story is told. A Captain Osborne had backed Orlando for a very heavy sum, and when Run- ning Rein came in first he was faced with the alternative of blowing out his brains or being declared a default- er. He was just on the point of choos- ing death rather than dishonor when a note was placed in his hand. “Run- ning Rein,” ran the missive, which was from a friendly tout, “is an im- postor, and he won’t get the Derby stakes. Buy up all the bets on Orlando you can get, and you will make a for- tune.” The captain put away his revolver, followed the tout’s advice and, instead of providing work for the undertaker, found himself £18,000 in pocket. Few horses have ever started a hot- ter favorite for the Derby than Mc- Gregor in 1870. So rosy were his chances that odds of 9.to 4 were laid on him to an enormous amount, and the money was considered as good as won. To the consternation, however, of his backers, he seemed unable to move freely in the race and finished a bad fourth behind horses who were not in the same century with him. There was no doubt whatever that Macgregor had been drugged, but who the rascal was who did the dastardly trick is as much a mystery today as it was at the time. It is of this race that the following remarkable story is told: During the night before the race a jockey called Swift saw the finish of the Derby in a dream. He saw Kingcraft, which he recognized, pass the post a winner by a length and a half, followed by a dark brown horse which he could not identify and with Macgregor, the fa- vorite, a bad fourth. In spite of the jeering of his friends, to whom he told the story, he backed Kingcraft for every sovereign he could raise, and, to his delight as to the disgust of the scoffers, he saw his dream exactly re- produced—the favorite badly beaten and the despised Kingcraft winning a small fortune for him. Even more remarkable is a story of that great Derby race of 1862, won by the despised outsider Caractacus, rid- den by Parsons, the stable lad. Al- though Caractacus was so badly thought of that Jim Goater point plank refused to ride him and odds o? 40 to 1 were freely offered against him, a tipster gave him as a certain winner on the strength of a dream in which his blind daughter had seen the horse win “with a little boy on his back as pale as death.” How vividly accurate was this dream forecast was admitted by all who saw the finish of that sensa- tional race.—London Tit-Bits.

Will hold for better Prices With Confidence That at Least Ten Cents a Pound Will be Had as a Result—Early, Maturity Has Caused Early Marketing. The Progresfive Farmer will publish next week a notable series of telegrams and letters on the cotton crop from Farmers’ Union presidents, Cotton Association presidents, and other agricultural state. Editor Poe received two ‘clegrams yesterday from Texas —one from Farm and Ranch, the leading farm paper in that state ‘stimating the yield at less than 3,500,000, and one from President Neill, president of the Farmers’ Union, who estimates the crop at 3,000,000 bales, about the average for the last three years. From nearly every state are reports of unusually ‘early opening Avhich seems to explain the heavy ginn ing receipts of this season. The summary of reports is as follows: North Carolina, from 75 to 90 per cent of last year’s crop, South Carolina, 65 per cent of last year’s crop. Georgia, President Barrett says that crop is 500,000 bales, and Harvie Jordan reports 350,000) bales short of last year’s crop. Alabama, crop somewhat larger than last year, and 90 per cent picked. Mississippi, same yield as 1907, possibly 2 per cent greater. Arkansas, only 85 per cent of last year’s crop will be produecd. Louisiana, erop one-fifth short of last year’s production. Texas, from 3,000,000 to 3,000,- 000 bales, against 2,221,000 last year, and 4,050,000 for 1906. On the whole the conclusion! is reached that the crop is not ma- terially larger than last year, that earlier maturity has caused early | marketing, and that now that the distressed belt cotton has been sold, other farmers will hold for better prices with confidence that at least ten cents a pound will be had asa result. Mr. L. N. Holmes says the Louisiana farmers there have been so badly damaged by the boll weevil that they will not attempt to grow cotton any more at all, and speak of keeping some of this year’s crop as a relic of the cotton growing period, now ended for them. The weevil has already entered fifteen Mississippi coun- ties and will not unlikely reach Georgia and the Carolinas in four or five years. In North Carolina. The Progressive Farmer will publish the following report from H. G. Alexander, of Mecklenburg eounty, president of the North Carolina State Farmer’s Union: “*It is my opinion that the crop of North Carolina will prove to the about 75 per cent of last year’s crop. Some of our most intelli- gent farmers plaee the estimate as low as 60 per cent. The heavy receipts up to this time are due to the fact that the August flood caused the plant to throw off all the young bolls. checked the growth and thus pro- duced an unnatural condition, which resulted in too rapid and early maturing. ‘Added to . this “‘Had dyspepsia or indigestion for years. No appetite, and what I did eat distressed me ter- Biribly. Burdock Blood Bitters @|cured me.’”-—J. H. Walker, Sun- m | bury, Ohio.

Consequent- ly the farmers have kept up with the’ pissing. “‘As to what ought to be done to sceure better prices, the farmer is practically helpless, except as tc the holding of his cotton off the market. I am fully persuaded the: now on the receipts will fall off rapidly because of the Getermina- tion among our larger and better class of farmers to hold for better prices. “The bulk of the cotton sold up to the piesent time has been marketed by tenants and the smal] farmer. It js very unfortunate that the very class that stand in greatest neod of higher prices are forced to sell. or at least make no effort to held, regar iless of the price. The bankers are standing by the farmers that are trying to hold and loaning money on ware- house receipts. The Union in this county (Mecklenburg) has suc- ceeded in getting reduecd rates for storage—from 25 cents per month to 15 cents per month. “‘The president of the National Union, C. S. Barrett has called for a popular mass meeting in New Orleans on the 11th and 12th of November to consider cotton mar- ket conditions and see if some steps cannot be taken to boost the prices. This will no doubt have some effect on the market-and will stimulate and encourage farmers to hold tighter to their cotton. I hope there will be a Jarge attend- ance at this meeting from North Carolina. It will not be confined to Farmers Union members, but is open to everybody interested in seeing higher priecd ectton.”’ ——~++@>->—___ DANGER IN DELAY.

That the mail ‘‘order wife’’ as an investment does not fill the bill and rarely comes up to the de- scriptions and specifications in the advertisement is the testimony given in court here by Joseph Sturgis a Lee farmer. Mr. Sturgis, qualifying as an expert, swore he had thrice mar- ried what he called ‘‘mail order women,”’ and found them unsat- isfactory. - After successfully escaping from two of them through the courts, he corresponded with one in New York city. On the stand he said he had sent the woman $300 hefore he ever saw her. Then she urged him to come te New York city and see her, sending her $500 more in advance to assure her of his coming. He sent her the required sum and when he got there found her an invalid in a wheel chair. She said she was awfully sorry to de- ceive him regarding her beauty, but that she had wealthy relatives in England, who she expected to die very soon, and just as soon as they did would pay him $10 for every dollar he had let her have. So Joseph let her have another #500 and she sent him on an er- rand to a dressmaker. When Joseph got to the dress- maker’s she rushed to him and threw her arms about his neck and wanted to marry him straight way. Joseph -agreed and they were soon married. They came to Marshall and then went to live on the farm. The latest Mrs. Sturgis told ““Joe”’ that the corn fed lobsters around his country ‘“‘didn’t look very good to her,’’ and after she had spent her husband’s money she returned to New York and Joseph applied for a divorcee. After this story the court thought Sturgis was certainly en- titled to a divorce and it was granted upon the grounds of de- sertion. Joseph said Mrs. Surgis’ potoffice address was unknown to him, but he knows she is in New York, because hereceived a sove- nir postal eard of the Singer building and he knows she sent it.

A native of Brazil, together with his wife and four children, passed through the city today, in a covered wagon enroute nowhere in particular and everywhere in general. They hail from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and have also spent a number of years in Argen- tinea. Very little relative to their trip could be learned as they could not understand the English language very well nor could they talk French or German. They have dark complexions, fully as dark as those of gypsies. They] are traveling in a wagon contain- ing everything they need that is necessary to life in the journey. They came to this country from Brazil on a boat bringing their team with them and landed in Florida and have traveled from that state to this in their covered wagon. They have been on the road several months, stopping at some places several days. Their occupation is not known. They had nothing for sale in the wagon | and the ‘‘woman of the wagon’’ said that they did not sell things, but that they were just traveling for pleasure. This must be their object as they have nothing of saleable value in their wagon, al- though they might have sold out before they got here. They say they are just travel- ing around and not going any- where in particular. They gave a Sentinel man their names but as there are no characters on the Linotype machine to compare with them they will have to be omitted. They say they have seen some very interesting things while on their long ride and have not had any trouble with any one. They are very similar to gypsies. both in appearance, notions. dress. and in their propensities for wan- dering. They are probably go- ing around because they like the excitement of an outdoor life and are selling things over the coun- try to make a living. Many farm- ers come here to sell tobacco for miles around. but it is seldom that people come to this city from Florida by private conveyance. And even those who are loudést in Mr. W. A.

Matt Thompson and Discuss French History During the Reign of Louis the Sixteenth. The Eclectic Book Club met at the hospitable home of Mrs. D. Matt Thompson on East Broad street Wed- nesday afternoon. For its work this season the club has taken up the Bay View French and Austrian course of study. The program for the afternon in- ‘luded the two most interesting pe_ riods of French history. The reign of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette and the empire under Napoleon and Josephine. Mrs. D. Matt Thompson read an in- teresting paper on the reign of Louis XVI and MMrs. Evans read one on Napoleon, while Miss Lon Campbell gave a sketch of the life of Josephine which provoked a rather heated dis- cussion of the character of this at. tractive French empress. Miss Louise Hall read a little poem on that pathetic period of Napoleon’s life, ‘“After Waterloo.” After the program the hostess, as- sisted by Misses Rice and Colvert, served a delicious salad course with coffee and salted nuts. The guests of the afternoon were w kinds of excellent references. Be- sige, she was an attractive wo- man, a widow, perhaps thirty.three years. old, and dressed in excellent taste and fashion. But when the Moody’s returned home they were surprised to find that Mrs. Hall had gone. The house was locked and everything seemed to be in good order, but all the city lodgers’ belongings were gone. Then they made further investigation and found that jewels and other things they valued at $600 were gone also. Then they went for the police. These are the things they found were missing, besides Mrs. Hall: lady’s gold watch and chain, value $150; diamond ring, value $90, bracelet, value $40; five other rings, value $15 to $25 each; embroidered center pieces, dolties and other linen, valued at $200.

Bride.to-be Has Made a Study of the Mysteries of the East and Wanted To Be a Missionary—Failing to This She Took a Sunday School Class inx Chinatown. New York Nov. 6.—With the full Chinese marriage ceremony in the presence of an American gathering, Miss Belle Leroy, a pretty young American Sunday school teacher, in Chinatown will be married December 5 to one of her pupils, Kee Sing of 24 Mott street. This will be the first public Chi- nese ceremony ever performed in the United States, and it was only af~ ter much persuasion on the part of the international Chinese carniva§ company, under whose auspices the wedding will be conducted, that Miss Leroy gave her consent to the public ceremony. The Rev. Wee Lung, high priest of Chinatown, will officiate. The bridal altar will be within a twenty-five foot Square on the platform in the center of the Jackson Casino, West Chester, and Jackson avenue, the Bronx. The prospective bridegroom is a laundryman. He has a little shop at 24 Mott street, where Miss Leroy has visited him daily and spent hours at a time in teaching him the English language. She came to New Yark from St. Louis two years ago. Even during her childhood she had been attracted by the mysteries of the Orient. She took a deep interest in religion and in missionary work and the one great ambition of her life has been to go to the Orient as a missionary. Failing in this she came to New York and began teaching. the little Sunday school class in Chinatown. There she met Kee Sing. He be- came a Christian. She taught him English and he instructed her in the rudiments of his language. Miss Leroy realized early that Kee Sing had never thought of marriage. The little yellow man did not con- sider hiniself an equal of the Ameri-_ can girl. But he called her 1B “image of the rose” and ventured no further. “But why not?” thought the Sun- day school teacher. ‘“‘Kee Sing is honest and. intelligent. He is poor, but so am I. Are not our interest the same? Why should we not be married?” and she confesses it was she who proposed. —_—_—_~1+ aro —- COTTON MARKET. Local Market.

The timid ones have been waiting for the result of the election before undertaking business enterprises heve no further reason for delay. ‘che policy of the administration for the next four years is fixed, and suca revision as the tariff will get at the hands of its friends will hardly up- set business much,” says the Boston Globe.

The party which has elected Mr. Taft is not the party which passed under the leadership of President Roosevelt in 1901; it is not the party which was directed to victory by Mark Hanna in 1900 and a less the Republican party which swept Mc. McKinley into the presidential office for the first time. To all intents and purposes it is a new party preserving in its supreme leadership as much of the hostoricai spirit of the democratic party as ot, the historical spirit of the republican party It is, if one may choose to call it so, the Roosevelt party. President Roosevelt’s leadership may have cost the Republicans some element of conservatism, but it unquestionabiy has gained so great an accession of essentially democratic strength that it represents the dominent political sentiment of the country When Mr Roosevelt, who has proved to be the shrewdest politician ‘a American history, suceeded to the presidency by the death of William meKinley seven years ago, he imm>- diately halted the republican party in the course which it was pursuing “nc by successive steps directed it into the path which it has since fronted. os “My Policies’ lave been, in every essential detail, distinctly democratic pclicies They have appealed to the great mass of the electorate with irresistible force as the embodimen: of the square deal in the relations of the government to all the people. Personal deficiencies and excentric- ities of temperament have been ig. nored in the general attitude of ap- proval toward the announced pro- program of the administration. It has been the fate of the demo- ciatic party to proclaim the new Spirit of democracy and the fortune of the republican party to possess a leader with the genius to appropriate this propaganda and carry it to success. ———_~+<~@-e—__——_ AN AMERICAN HERO. He Used His Own Body to Stop a Leak In a Ferryboat. One morning in January, when the ice in the Hudson river ran unusually heavy, 2a Hoboken ferryboat slowly crunched her way through the floating floes until the thickness of the pack choked her paddles in midriver. It was an early morning trip, and the decks were crowded with laboring men and the driveways choked with teams. The Women and children standing inside the cabins were a solid mass up to the swinging doors. While she was gath- ering strength for a further effort an ocean tug sheered to avoid her, veered a pojnt and crashed into her side, cut- ting her below the water line in a great V shaped gash. A moment more and the disabled boat careened from the shock and fell over on her beam, helpless. Into the V shaped gash the water poured a torrent. It seemed but a question of minutes before she would lunge headlong below the ice. Within 200 yards of both boats and free of the heavy ice steamed the wrecking tug Reliance of the Off- shore Wrecking company, and on her deck forward stood Captain Scott. When the ocean tug reversed her en- gines after the collision and backed clear of the shattered wheelhouse of the ferryboat he sprang forward, stoop- ed down, ran his eye along the water line, noted in a flash every shattered plank, climbed into the pilothouse of his own boat and before the astonisb- ed pilot could catch his breath pushed the nose of the Reliance along the rail of the ferryboat and dropped upon the latter’s deck like a cat. With a threat to throw overboard any man who stirred he dropped into the engine room, met the engineer half- Way up the ladder, compelled him to return, dragged the mattresses from tie crew’s bunks, stripped off blankets and snatched up clothes, overalls, cot- ton waste and rags of carpet, cram- ming them into the great rent left by the tug’s cutwater. It was useless. Little by little the water gained, bursting out first below, then on one side, only to be caiked out again and only to rush in once more. Captain Scott stood a moment as if undecided, ran his eye searchingly over the engine room, saw that for his needs it was empty, then deliberately tore down the top wall calking he had so carefully built up and before the en- gineer could protest forced his own body into the gap, with bis arm outside level with the drifting ice. An hour later the disabled ferry- boat, with every soul on board, was towed into the Hoboken slip. When they lifted the captain from the wreck he was unconscious and barely alive. The water had frozen bis blood, and the floating ice had torn the flesh from his protruding arm from shoulder to wrist. When the color be- gan to creep back to his cheeks he opened his eyes and said to the doctor who was winding the bandages: “Wuz any of them babies hurt?” A month passed before he regained his strength and another week before the arm had healed so that. he could get his coat on. Then he went back to the Reliance.—Everybody’s Magazine. A Lesson In Patience. When the eminent botanist, Profess- or Aitman of Glasgow, was a small boy, he had the present of a silver bit, whereupon his mother was so wor- ried with questions as to what he should do with it that she exclaimed, “Really, you had better go to Thomas Blliot’s (a well known pharmacist) and buy sixpence worth of patience.” Down the street marched the lad and demanded of the chemist, “Mr. Elliot, please give me sixpence worth of pa- ftience.” Mr. Elliot, taking in the situation at & glance, said: “Certainly, my boy; there’s a chair. Just sit down and wait till you get it.” Professor Aitman’s endeavor to pur- chase patience was a great success. It made-a deep impression on the lad and {was one of the factors of his success én life, ‘ ———_—_—_—_~<@>>—____. WANTED.

Negro Becomes Incensed at Two of His Own Race and Fires Load of Shot Into Their Faces. Only The Distance They Were From Him Saves Their Lives. Washington, N. C., Nov. 5.—A ne- gro preacher, Frank Lee became in- volved in an altercation with Roger Wilkins and his wife, Georgianna Wilkins, also colored, at a small ne_ gro hamlet about fifteen miles from this city last night and in the melee Lee became incensed and procuring a double-barreled shotgun fired both barrels at the Wilkins, the loads taking effect in their faces. Had it not been for the distance from which the gun was fired the wounds would have proved fatal. Both were painfully wounded and the woman may lose her eyesight. They were brought to this city and given medical attention by Dr. E. M. Brown. Lee escaped soon after the shoot- ing and is still at large. The diffi. culty seems to have originated over money matters. —__—~++ > Opening of Eufola Academy Indus- trial and Mechanics. The Academy of Eufola opened its term of six months last Monday morning at 8 o’clock. This school was founded for the purpose of giving an education to young people who are not able to pay their way through college, but who are willing to work with their own hands and thus earn a large part of their expenses. One feature of the _ school is in making the Bible the main study book and the foundation of all other branches of learning. Another novel feature is the con- stant effort to éxalt useful labor, as the special means provided by the Lord whereby man shall obtain his bread. No student will be received into the school who is not willing to work at some kind of manuel labor, and no teacher will be employed who is not willing to work along with the students. The prospects are bright for a very successful school year. J. O. JOHNSTON, Founder. —_———_~~a eo" PERSONAL NOTES. ——erw Mr. D. A. Cooper has returned from a business trip to Wilkesboro. Mr. W. R.

Colonel’, ¥ COTTON MILL PROSPERITY. Indications are that there are prosperous times ahead for the cotton mills of the country. A leading mill man of New Eng- land says: “‘The condition of the cotton goods business, from the stand- point of the mill man, is growing better with each succeeding week, and immediately after the election is disposed of it will make even greater gains. While we have not yet reached the point where we ean readily sell all the goods we can produce, we are satisfied with the situation, for prices are better, demand for goods increases stead- ily, and there is a good winter and spring business ahead of us.”’ 4 GOVERNOR GLENN’S FUTURE It seems difficult to get things straight regarding Governor Glenn’s future career when his term iof office as chief executive shall have ended. On the occasion of his last visit to Statesville he told a Mascot rep- resentative that he was going to return to Winston-Salem and re sume the practice of law. Now comes the Durham Herald with the following announcement : “‘Governor Glenn has closed a contract with one of the great lec turing bureaus and following his retirement from active political life, will go on the rostrum. Though in the possession of The Herald, the size of his salary is {perhaps a little more personal than he is willing for the public to know. Suffice it to say that it is of such magnificence that it makes the governor’s office look like a piker. More than that, Gov. Glenn will receive handsome re- muneration from a missionary board and will be engaged in ec } clesiastical work of a higher order »}in the Presbyterian church.”’ —+<2-—_____ The Mighty Power of Mi-o-na.

Although the day of his doom is nearly three weeks off, it is a custom grown old with the usage of many years to have him appear on the mar- ket in good advance of the time of his beheading, not merely for appe_ tizing purposes but to give the pur. chasers a chance to add a little in the way of fat to the already plump body of the bird.

Italian Royal Family Must Confirm The Engagement Soon—Photogra- phers Pursue The Senator, And One Caught Him at His Chicken Coop it is Said. Elkins, W. Wa., Nov. 9.—De- lay in completing arrangements for the match;jbet ween his daugh- ter and the Duke of the Abruzzi, and the notoriety which the af. fair has received, have so dis- gusted Senator Elkins that it was ireported unless some defi- nite decision is reached by the royal Italian family before the Senator leaves for Washington he will break off the engagement. The Senator is getting sick and tired of having the name of his daughter and other members of his family made the butt of newspaper humor and subjected to annoyance by persisiant re- porters and photographers,” said an old friend cf the family. “He has studiously avoided pub- licity and is beginning to blame the royal relatives of the Puke for the notoriety which the pro- posed international match has received. “The Senator said to me: Either the Duke wants to mar- ry Katherine or he does not. Why doesn’t he bave a mind of his own? Iam determined that there shall be a royal wedding or nothing. “Why, I have no privacy any- more, even in my own grounds,” te Senator said. “Yesterday I was chased all over my place by & photographor who wanted to take photographs of the family, and he finally corralled me ia the chicken coop. I am tired of this sort of thing and it has got to stop. Iam used to the public life, but this sort of thing is.too much for me.” It is said here that while the Senator isin Morganton, where he will remain for the next few days, he willconsult with his two sons, David and Blaine, who have charge of his interests there, re- garding the proposed sale cf the Morganton and Kingstown rail- road to the Baltimore and Obio. The Senator would derive more than $6.000,000 from the sale of the road. This would give him the ready money for the dowry in case the marriage should be decided upon. Close friends of the family. say that the Senator is willing to provide a generous dowry for his daughter and that the amount will be deducted from her inher- itence. Friends who are on intimate social terms with the family here declare that they are contident the opposition of the Queen Dow- ager to the marriage will be over- come by the size of the dowry and that an announcement of the wedding may be expected within a week. 4-4-9 —__ Internal Revenue Collections.

Found Murdered When he Returned at Night—After Search the Son_in- Law Found in a Closed Trunk With 2 Bottle of Chloroform Pressed to His Nose—Died Shortly After Be- ing Discovered. ___ Pittsburg, Nov. 8.—His wife lying on a bed with her throat cut from ear to ear; his sixteen-year-old adopt- ed daughter on the floor nearby with her head almost severed; a razor, dripping with blood on the bed be- sides the murdered woman and crim- son splashes on the floor and bed- clothing, was the ghastly sight which confronted William Cassey when he returned to his home in East Mc- Keesport, shortly after midnight Saturday morning, after having tak- en part in the republican jolification. The scene of the tragedy was a room occupied by George Hartzel, Casey’s soa-in-law, whose wife was misteriously killed a year ago, and who had beed boarding recently at the Casey home. Mrs. Hartzel was found murdered last winter. At the time her mother Mrs. Cassey, aceused Hartzel of kill- ing her daughter, and said he had confessed the murder to her. Hart- ze] denied his mother-in-law’s story. He was for several days in the cus- tody of county authorities, but final- ly was released, as Mrs. Casey’s storyjwas not credited against his denial. Hartzel was missing when the mur- der was discovered this morning. Forty-five minutes later, “when the county detectives and police of neighboring boroughs were on the lookout for Hartzel, the man was found unconcious in a trunk a few feet from where the multilated bod- ies lay. He had squeezed into the trunk; closed the lid, and with a bot- tle of chloroform close to his nostrils had soon become unconcious. Physi- cians endeavored to revive him, but he died. AP Funeral of Mrs. Carlton. ‘ All that is mortal of the late Mrs. Pinkney C. Carlton was laid at rest in its eternal home at Oakwood cem- etery yesterday afternoon with a Jirge attendance of sorrowing friends, relatives and neighbors. The funeral services were conduct- ed from the fiouse, 54014 Center street, at 3:30 o’clock by the Rey. Dr. C. M. Richards. Mr. Richards was to have gone to Davidson Saturday night where yes. terday he was-to preach’ his first ser- mon as pastor of that congregation but he remained here to perform this sad duty, the last he could do for a faithful parishoner. It is seldom that the floral tributes at the funeral in this city ase as num- erous as on this occasion, The house was filled with tear stained faces and the procession to the cemetery was a long one, extend_ ing more than from _ the house to Broad street. a The pallbearers were Messrs. N. B. Mills. Dr. L. Harrill, F. J. Axley, W. W. Walton, J. B. Glover and J. H. Hoffman. ——_——_<>-9-—__——_ Alleged Moonshiner Arrested.

General Superintendent of the North- ern Divison and a Party of Other Officials Arrived in Statesville Yes- terday and Inspected the Station and Yards. A special train of three private cars arrived at the depot in this city yesterday at about 10 o’clock and remained for a little over a half an hour. — ; Aboard were Messrs. E. H. Coap- man, general manager of transporta- tion; A. Stewart, general superin- tendent of motive power, G. W. Tay. lor, general superintendent of trans- portation; Dr. W. A. Applevate chief surgeon; J. H. Conley, chief special agent; D. W. Lum, chief engineer; A. H. Westfall, general superinten- dent; J. M. Bennett, superintendent Winston-Salem division; W. N, Rore- acre of C¥arlotte and others. These officials are on a tour of in- spection of the road and the object of the stop here was fo allow them to Inspect the property of the com- pany at this place. It goes without saying that they found éverything under the supervi_ sion of Capt. J. Edward Deitz, ticket agent and Capt. Samuel M. Moore, yard master, in excellent condition. While none of those concerned could be seen, it. is understood that this trip-of inspection is in anticipa- tion and preparation for the revival of business about which President Finley has had much to say. The special came here from Char- lotte and went to Winston.Salem_ From there it will continue further south. ~ _——_-+<~@>-——————_— The Cotton Warehouse.

As related in our news columns the latter part of last week, Charles W. Morse, the one time Ice King, was sentenced to serve 15 years in prison for the misapproprjation of funds of the National Bank of North America of which he was a director and controlling owner. “Morse’s bed-room in his political residence at No. 728 Fifth avenue,’’ says a New York newspaper, “has costliest and most luxurious furnish- ings money can buy. The cell he occupied last night had no covering on the cement floor, and the berth in which he slept was merély an iron framed affair with,the thinnest of mattresses and coa2rse, cheap bed clothing.” We rejoice in no man’s downfall. We do rejoice, however, that Morse’s millions were not able to save him from the penaties of the law which he so flagrantly violated. We have more sympathy with an ignorant sneak thief without moral training than for a bank officer who breaks his oath and betrays his trust. Such a man is both a thief and a traitor and upon conviction should be given the full penalties of the law. ————_~+2e—_——_ A First Class Show. Statesville is going to have a real- ly meritorious show at the opera house tomorrow night and it will be a good opportunity for the people to signify by their patronage whether or not they desire more of the same kind, “The Runaways,” while one of the lightest and merriest of musical comedies, is, at the same time, not a conglomeration of mielody and mirth. {ts true that there is an abundance of glare and sufficfency of glitter about the production, because a mass of scenery, stage settings and elec. trical effects are carted around the country for the piece, but the comet} possesses 2 substantial and rich plot, There is something definite about what is going on, which makes the One of the Peauties in the Chorus. piece stand in a class to itself. This is what is probably accountable for its brilliant triumph scored, before thousands in the other larger cities of the north. The production is filled with tune- ful, catchy music, and the song which is the hit of the play, “A Kiss for Each Day in the Week,’ Dance, the novelty of the Runaways, is cre- ating a sensation for the originality of its conception and the Ctlicacy of its treatment. There are many other big song_hits, including “‘Down in the Old Town Hall,’ ‘“‘Some One to Call Me Dearie,” “My Bon Bon Baby” and “The Gay Butterfly.”’ <4 Don’t let the baby suffer from eczema, sores or any itching of the skin.

If applause is yet a just arbiter, “The Enchanted Wood’? which |was produced at the opera house last night for the benefit of the Billingsley hospital was a decided on” Of the play itself—the operetta is a merry, jingling, glittering triumph and is a briliant example of the type of entertainment that that will do more than any other one thing to elevate the stage to a point where it may become a pow- er for great good, an institution educational in its scope ang at the same time morally uplifting. The Enchanted Wood contains a heap of musical numbers that are new and catchy and an attrac- tive little “‘plot,’’ if such it may be called for the foundation. A moral that is as pointed as it is timely teaches children that they should be contented with their lot and not complain. In short that they should be good little boys ang girls rather than bad. The story of the operetta was printed in the Mascot some days ago. School children at play engage woods in search of gum when they are lost. The teacher’s searchf for her pu- pils is in vain. To Miss Arleene Gilmer was assigned the task of the teacher and her work was su- perb. When she rendered ‘‘ What has become of my children’’ there was almost deafening applause. The children wonder to the En- chanteq Wood where they are transformed to such characters as best suits their every day disposi- tions. For instance when they awake they find themselves ‘‘Lit tle Miss Muffitt,’’ ‘‘Little Boy Blue,’’ ‘‘Little Bo Peep,’’ ‘‘Simple Simon,”’ ‘‘Little Jack Horner,”’’ and ‘‘Mistress Mary, quite con- trary.”’ In the Enchanted Wood, Miss Mary MeDougald, reigned su- preme as the Fairy Queen. She wore a handsome gown of pink, with a long train and was preced- ed by two little Flower Fairies, who were scarcely big enough to tote the baskets of roses they car- ried. They were little Mildred Gill and Mildred Wallace and we suspect that a big portion of the applause that greeted their ap- Pearance was intended for the youngsters. Miss MeDougald sang ‘‘Fairy subjects, list our call’? most de- lightfully, and was followed by Miss Cora Harbin, as Mother Goose, who dig equally as well with ‘‘Mother Goose’s request.’’ One of the hits of the evening was the squad of police, with Mas- ter Julian Morrison as captain. They gave a very pretty drill and then went off to hunt up the lost | school children, whom they find in the domain of the Fairy Queen which they take by storm. Finally the children awake and finding one another make all kinds of good resolutions, ete., and re- turn to their teacher, greeting her with the very pretty song ‘‘Wel- come teacher, we greet you.’’ and the curtain does down on a grand teacher. 2a E- a - - é chorus by the entire company en- in @ quarrel and wander off in the |. titled ‘‘The dear, old school.’’ A limited amount of space pre- vents a mention of all the ‘‘good uns’? in the cast but a faithful chronicler would be remiss in his duty did he fail to mention little Miss Edith Moor2 who as Kitty, afterwards ‘‘Litle Bo Peep’’ was a prime favorite with the audience from start to finish. After she had led a chorus of other pretty young girls in a song, sh was pre- sented with a big bouquet of roses by one of her many admirers. Master Jackson Wallace as Si, afterwards ‘‘Simple Simon, also deserves special mention. He has the making of a ‘‘real actor’’ in him. The work of Mary Lois Cowles, Elise Wallace, Frank Hill and Al- lan Anlerson did not fail to re- ceive favorable comment. Between acts two and three, a number wf specialties were intro- duced by Beth Evans, Cora Har- bin, Arleene Gilmer, Louise Har- bin, Mary Austin Glover, Irene Moore, Ben Cooper, Claude Evans, Clyde Alexander, Franklin Arm- field, Robert Rickert and the “*Poppy Fairies.’’ “Don’t be Cross With Me’’ was the number that served to ‘‘bring down”’ the house. Miss I. Moore lead a chorus composed of the above young ladies and gentlemen. Her costume was a gay one and there was much applause. Misses Angie Mullaly and Mar- tha Moore were responsible for the splendid production and to them is due all of the credit, not only for the delightful eneving’s entertain- ment but the snug little sum which, after the expenses are paid, will be left over for the hospital. It is doubtful, however, if this will be large. The work of training those 50 or 60 youngsters must have been a monstrous one. The former had charge of things back of the cur- tain and the later presided most acceptably at the ptano. Not only the cause for which the operetta was given, but the play itself deserved a more liberal patronage than it received. The cast of characters in full was as follows: Fairy Queen—Miss Mary McDougald. Mother Goose—Miss Cora Harbin. Teacher—Miss Arlene Gilmer. Maids of Honor—Hannah Wallace and Ruth Gill.

THE RUNAWAYS |At the Opera House Tonight— This Big Musical Comedy Com- pany With 40 People and a Car Load AccesSories Arrived This Morning From Charlotte. The production of ‘‘The Runa- ways,’’ which is to be seen at the opera house tonight is the origi- nal New York Casino production and is the only company present- ing ‘‘The Runaways’”’ on the road. There are no first or second com- panies; this is the one and only company and the praise which lo- cal theatre goers have heard be- stowed on this musical comedy concerns the company which is to be scen ini this city, There is one notable change but this adds to rather than detracts from the prestige of the perform- ance ‘‘Hloney Boy’’ George Avey one of the funniest little fellows appearing in an amusement line before the public, is in the leading role and it is not belittling the others who have been seen in this part to say that Mr. Avey gets new possibilities in his interpreta- tion of it. There is a perfect maze of sue- cessive, brilliant scenes in ‘‘The Runaways’? Light and color were never used with more charm ing effect and the rich spangled and elittering costumes show ear- ‘orial splendor as it never before vas attempted on a stage. ‘‘The Runaways’? is as magnificent as it is sweet and pretty and those who fail to see it will miss a rare oppertunity. The prices are 50, 75, $1.00 and $1.50. PERSONAL NOTES. Mrs, A. F. Alexander and child who have been here for some time visiting relatives left yesterday for her home in Walla Walla, Wash.

Court Will have to Decide Whether Register ot Deeds-Elect, who Once Served Term in Jail, is Eligible to Hold Office, i Spring Hope, Nov. 9—The after clection interest here cen- tres in the fight that is to take place concerning the man who is to be register of deeds in Nash county. J.B. Boddie, who was postmaster at Nashville during Cleveland’s administration, was nominated by the Democrats and endorsed by the Republicans. It issaid here that Republicans went into the Democratic prim- ary and helped nominate him. and indorsed him when they held their county convention. Two days before the election E, T. Griffin, a Demorcrate, announ- cei himself as an independent candidate- 4 Boddie received 2,895 votes, oe only 132, a3 was noted seamen nt No.-360 Postmaster of New York Shot ASSAILANT KILLS HIMSELF. Man Who had Been Refused a Po- sition by Postmaster Morgan Lies in Wait for Him in the Street and Shoots Him, Imme- diate Thereafter Committing Suicide—Mr, Morgan Carried to His Home Seriously Wound- ed. New York, Nov. 10.—Postmaster Edward M. Morgan was shot yester- day while on his way to his office, by a disappointed office-seeker named Mackey, Heisin a serious condi- tion. His assailant committed sui- cide immediately after the shooting. Mr. Margan was hurried home and his wound is regarded as serious. He was accompained by his daughter when shot The man who shot him had impor- tuned Morgan fora position in the postoffice. but he had been refused. He tried tosee the postmaster at his home several times, but did not succeed. He lay and wait for him on the street this morning and spoke a few words to him before shooting. Mr. Morgan was appointied post- master last year. He had been ad- vanced from a letter carrier to the position of head of the office. There are indications that Mackay had for a lon® time plained the death of the postmaster. Before coming postmaster of New York Mr Morgan had had charge of an inves- tigation of dishonesty in connection with the work of postal clerks in the city, and the police theory is that Mackay at some time suffered through Mr. Morgan’s vigilance. eB CAN’T SEND LEPER EARLY HOME Secretary Cortelyou Announces That He Agrees With Bonaparte. Washington, D. C., Nov. 9.— Secretary Cortelyou, in a state- ment today, announced chat he concurred in the recent decision- of Attorney-General {Bonaparte against the deportation of John R. Early, the North Carolina leper,, who is kept here under guard. Mr. Cortelyou holds that while he has authority to make regu- lations to prevent the introduc- tion of contagious or infectious diseases into a state or territory or the district of Columbia from any state, he has no authority to make any rule by which Early can be legally deported from this city, or the State of North Caro- lina required to receive him. in this correspondent some days 0. 2 *eBoddle once confessed to irreg- ularities while serving as post- master at Nashville and was een- tenced to a term in the penitenti- ary and served a term in jail. It isnow said that heis notelig- ible to the office. Because of this E.T. Griffin announced his can- didacy at the eleventh hour, and it is said. will makea strong pull for this office. It seems that @number of eminent lawyers have said that Boddie is ineligble. Others say that he can hold the Office. The fight will begin in earnest wheu it comes time to swear in the new Officiais. The courts will | be asked to decide the matters. There is no question that has come before the people of thie county in years that has created so much interestand discussion. Each and every man has an opin- ion to offer. A final adjustment ofthe matter will be awaited with interest. — Mr. Burke Returns. Mr, Flake T. Burke has resign- ed his position as manager of the dairy at the Baptist orphanage at Thomasville.

Thomas R. Marshall, the new demoeratie governor of Indiana, makes a noise like a prophet and if his advice is followed hiS pro- pheey as to the future will be more than realized. Meantime, in the hour of defeat his words of cheer and confidence are reassuring! In a special telegram to the New York World he says: “Tt seems to be the fate of great reformers like Mr. Bryan to live in history, rather than in office. Disheartening as is the result for democratic principles in many of the states leads me to hope that the money-mad magnates will yield to treatment rather than die the death which inevitably over- takes all those who grow arrogant. “‘The business interests will {enemy of vested rights. We strike iemly at vested’ wrongs. I hope they may be peaceably wiped out, tor I fear if they are not they will be forcibly These evils would have been cheerfully eliminated under Mr Bryan I hoPe they will be under Mr Taft, though grudg- ingly. ‘The fight has been worth mak- ing There are now no discordant elements in our party Factions have been blended in the white heat of persecution and a spirit of mutual trust restored, which aug- urs well for the arising of a con- stitutional demoracy out of the ashes of defeat. ‘‘No such partisan warfare was ever waged as in Indiana, and yet we have a partial victory, made possible only by direct appeals to men of all parties who yet believe that the people and not the offices should rule **In Indiana it is not to be made a partisan victory by my using patronage to reward at the ex- pense of the interests of the peo- ple. IfI know how, I am going to give the state an old-fashion- ed constitutional administration, which means equal rights for all and special privileges to none. “If you will only keep up the ery, “‘Back to the fathers!’’ we will get there some day, and the sooner the better; for while busi, ness and money are good for a people, principle is the one endur- ing necessity of good govern- ment.’’ —————~+@2>e—___ PUT THE UNEMPLOYED TO WORK FIRST. Word comes from Washington to the effect that it is proposed to increase the pay of the employes of the navy yard 10 per cent. Although these men are now the highest paid of any men of their class in the land they are still worth more money than they now receive, that is, most of them. But wouldn’t it be better to take this money and put some of the hungry unemployed to work. However, it is a well known fact that the navy yard contingent from the Lord High Secretary down to the humblest helper in the blacksmith shop have been ‘‘up, out and at it’? most stren- ously for Mr. Taft during the past three months and it now looks as though their reward was to be swift, sure and on a ten per cent bases. In the meantime the unemploy- ed of the country, their wives and children may continue to starve. ———++e>+—____ LET’S SEE! DOES HE?

Chain Gang is All Right Sut Bad State of affairs Exists At The County Home Where the Build- ings Are a Fire Trap And Three Female Insane Are In Charge of a Male Attendant—Two Crazy People Are in The Jail And Should Be Removed. ‘Fhe Grand Jury has completed its work for this term of court and has been discharged. The report was yesterday sub- mitted to the court and contains one or two rather startling state- ments. It is as follows:: North Carolina. Iredell County. As instructed by your honor, the jail, Court house, Chain gang and County Home were visited by committees and we beg to submit the following report to wit: The committee visiting the coun- ty home found 25 inmates 14 white and 11 eolored. Of whites 11 are female and 3 male. Three of the female in- mates are insane and confined in separate cages in a building some distance from the other cottage. The attendant is a male inmate and oceupies the fourth cage. The building is heated by stove in cen- ter of building with the cages in either corner and a cross isle. Of the eleven colored inmates four (4) are female and seven (7) male, two of the female and one male are blind. The majority of the inmpjes seem to be feeble in mind as well orin body. They all say they are kindly treated with plenty to eat. One or two Colored inmates re- ported that they were short of bed clothing but that it had been promised to them. The houses one 2 and 3 roon and built around three sides of a hollow square. The whites oc- cupy one side and the colored the other side. The most of the houses are of log construction and weather boarded, having open fire places. The new houses are heat- ed by stoves and are of frame con- struction. : The rooms seem to be as neat as condition of houses warrent. Signs of recent white washing and scouring was in evidence but in- sects were also in eveidence and we hardly think they would be got ten rid of under existing cirecum- stane and this does not reflect on the keeper as we believe him Capa- ble and efficient. This plant outside of the keep- ers house and the barn is a fire trap and practically worthless.’ We therefore respectfully recom- mend a modern building for these unfortunates with furnace heat, water and sewer facilities. The committee visiting the chain gang report thirty six pris- oners. Of their number twelve are white and twenty four black. The camp is in good condition and the prisoners say they are well fared for. The committee visiting the court house report the building in good rePairs and the various offices in good Condition, except we reecom- mend the construction of a zine basin in basement and connection with \sewer for convenience off Janitor in washing spittoons and as a sanitary precaution. The jail committee report seven (7) inmates—one white woman, three (3) white men, three (3) colored women. Of their number a Pres, Finley ENDS TRIP OF INSPECTION. Head of Southern Says he Finds Business Improving in all Parts of the South—Lumber is More Active Than for Months and and There is a General Revival of Industrial Activity all Along the Line. oe The Washington Herald says: President Finley, of the South- ern Railway Company, who has just returned to, Washington from an inspection trip of two weeks over the lines of the system, found evidences of improvement in busi- hess conditions and of a general disposition on the part of busi- ness men throughout the South to take a hopeful view of the future. Speaking of the information he had gathered on his trip, Mr. Fin- ly said: “‘Prices for pig inon are firmer. Southern furnaces, as a rule, have sold their products up to the end of the year, and the increasing number of inquiries for iron war- rant the exPectation that orders will soon be placed for business during the coming year. ‘‘Lumber is more active than for some months past. Especially is this true of the grades shipped in box ears. The present demand will be augmented by increased requirements from railways, prin- cipally for ear repairs, as some of the railways are contracting with ear companies for some of their heavier work. “‘One of the most encouraging signs of reviving industrial ac- tivity is the increasing movement of steam coal to industrial centers. The unusually warm weather of the present fall is~ retarding the movement of domestic Coal, ‘‘The cotton crop is early, and the fiber is moving to market in larger volume than at this time last year, although, as a result of the stagnation which has prevailed in the cotton goods market, prices are lower than a year ago. ‘‘Merchants stocks which had been permitted to run low during the business depression are being replenished conservatively. Retail trade in the cities is good, but as a result of the low Price of cotton and of a disposition on the part of retailers to’ buy cautiously for the present, jobbing trade is still somewhat restricted. ‘“While some lines of business have not yet shown as much im- provement as might be wished, I believe that conditions generally are decidedly better than at at any time since the beginning of the business depression a year ago, and that we have reason to look forward to a gradual return to higher level of prosperity.”’ ——_++a-—__— Mrs. Deitz Has Strawberries.

Ingram was the Victim of a _ Terrible Whipping—Both His Eyes Were Closed and He Was Frightfully Cut and Bruised About the Head and Face— Blood Flowed From N ose, Mouth, Eyes and Ears. _ Few men have received such terrible punishment as was in- flicted upon J. H. Ingram yester- day afternoon and be able to be in a magistrate’s court inside of an hour and tell their story, Mr. Ingram lives on a farm near Shiloh and yesterday came to the city to investigate the circum- stances surrounding the sudden | death of one of his horses { He had loaned the animal to a neighbor and it had been taken suddenly sick a few miles out of the city on the Shiloh road with the coli¢ ang soon died. Mr. Ingram had just finished burrying the dead animal and was sitting on side of the road when Samuel Stewart drove along with a load of wood. The men had had some trouble before over a ques- tion of Stewart’s right to drive a team loadeq with his saw mill across his property. At the time Ingram had prohib- ited him from doing this and it is elaimed by Stewart that on this oeeasivn he had been called one of the vilest names known to the vocabulary. When Stewart saw him yester- day he asked-Ingram if he remem- bered calling him the name in question and he replied that he did. Asked if he was of the same opinion still.. Ingram is said to have replied that ‘‘he didn’t know.”’ Then Stewart got down from his load of wood and proceded to give Ingram the thrashing of his life. an In Magistrat} Sloan’s court yes- terday afternoon Ingram claimed that he was sititng down when at- tacked by Stewart. The latter testified that when he got down from the wagon Ingram got up and struck the first blow. It was evident that the man had been terribly punished. His heag and face was one mass of bruises and cuts and he was cov- ered with blood. Dr. McLaughlin who attended the man said he thought that some sort of blunt instrument mu:: have been used to inflict some of the wounds. Ingram said he didn’ know ang Stewart denied that he had used anything but his fist. The latter expressed no sor- row for his act, said he regretted that he had not given the manj more of a thrashing, as he had called him the vilest sort of a name and deserved it. Attorney Zeb V. Long appeared for Stewart ang asked Magistrate Sloan to take jurisdiction and dis- pose of the ease, as his client plead cuilty to a simple assault and as there was no evidence that he had used anything except his fists. Judge Sloan, however, held that the punishment had been so se- vere as to possibly cause grave re- sults and he could not tell at the time how badly the man hag been injured. He aceoordingly held Stewart in $100 for the next court. The defendant gave a mortgage on his mill machinery as a tem- porary bond and promised to show Irecell Is A Great County LETTER FROM MR. MILLSAPS. Capable of Accomplishing Great Things is Needed—The County Should Have a Fair Each Fall and Better Roads—A School for Boys is Suggested—An In- teresting Communication From a Gentleman Who Ktows What He is Talking About. To the Editor: The election is over and wheth- er all are pleased with the result is another matter, but there is one thing, I think, all our citzens may unite on, and that is the building up of the material interests of the county. Iredell is a great county. I have inow traversed nearly every por- tion of it, and no matter in what respect it is viewed, whether from its natural resources or its manu- facturing or commer‘ial interests it is a great county. It has a citizenship surpassed by none and equalled by few. Then what hinders the progress of the county? People, when aroused are equal to any emergency. The great need is interest and enthusi- asm in the right direction and a leader capable of accomplishmg great things. In the history of civilization no nation or people has grown great who neglected their internal im- provements, but on the other hand the greatness of every nation has been measured by the extent and magnificence of her internal im- provements, public institutions, etc., ete. The ancient Greeks were famous for their training and arts, the Ro- mans for their public buildings and magnificent roads, and the wonders wrought by the ancient Egyptians are the admiration of the world. Queen Elizabeth be- came the greatest of English rul- ers by her encourag2ment in the upbuilding of her kingdom. No matter where we look the people who look well to their public well- fare are the People who grow great. This is preliminary to saying that we as a people must awake to a sense of our responsibilities and the magnificent opportunities that lie before us. Our Public Roads a Disgrace. For want of interest our public roads are a disgrace. For want of interest our farm- ing interests have hardly begun to be developed. For lack of intenest we have not a single institution of learning for our boys, while hundreds go away to other counties and hundreds more ought to receive the benefits but are unable to do so. For lack of interest the few miles of permanent roads we have are going to the bow wows. For lack of interest we as a p20- ple ane not seizing the opPortuni- ties which are ours, Now. what shall we do? Fold our hands to the greatnes that lies just before us or seize the op- portunity that will make us the great people we ought to be. Shall Rowan and Cabarrus and Mecklenburg outstrip us in the construction of public buildings? Shall our farmers sleep on and permit other counties around us no rieher in soil fertility to out- strip us in the magnitude of their agricultural products? I say let us awake ourselves and up Saturday and furnish another. get to doing something. Let us Farm Demonstrator Says a Leader Bryan’s Daughter decks Divorce SHE COULDN’T ENDURE HIM. Her Artistic Husband is Simply Impossible—Election Now Be- ing Over, She is to Ask for an Absolute Separation From Lea- vitt Chicago, Ill., Nov. 10—Now that the election is over and there is no chance that the airing of her do- mestic unhappiness might have a harmful effect upon the political future of her father, Mrs. Ruth Bryan Leavitt is preparing to bring suit for absolute divorce from her artist husband, William Homer Leavitt. This information has been given out by an intimate friend of Mrs. Leavitt. This friend says the suit will be filled in Denver, where the Leavitts had a home—Pur- chased fior them by William Jen- nings Bryan—and where they last lived together. Leavitt is now in Europe, con- tinuing his art studies. The two children, Ruth Leavitt, five years old, and William Bryan Leavitt, three years old, are with their mother. Officially, they still live in Denver, but they spend much of their time in Lincoln, and the children had the time of their ‘heir lives at Fairview during the campaign. : Little Bryan Leavitt is the com- plete master of his grandfather, leading here and there, like a pet lamb, the man who was strong enough to Compel the Democratic party to nominate him three times. No opposition is expected from the artist. His wife told friends in Denver that he-was ‘‘simply im- possible’? ang that she ‘‘ecouldn’t endure him’’ another day When the action is begun the charges will be nonsupport, mental eruel- ty, and incompatibility of temper- ament. Mrs. Leavitt will ask for the custody of her children. a COTTON MARKET. Local Market.

WITHERSPOON-LIPE. ———au Many Statesville People Are In- tereSted in® Popular Salisbury Couple Who Linked Theis Des- tinies, Monday Night. The Salisbury Post says: A pretty wedding to which in- vitations had been issued to but members of the family and inti- mate friends of the contracting parties was celebrateg at 7 o’clock last evening when Miss Nellie Witherspoon became the bride of Mr. G. L. Lipe, the eeremony oc- eurring at the bride’s home in East Salisbury. -~ The event was markedly unos- tentatious. The decorations of the home were of ferns and cut flowers and the most perfect sim- plicity prevailed. Rey. Byron Clark, D. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian church, spoke the vows that made the couple one and after an informal reception Mr and Mrs. Lipe left for the east, where they will spend ten days. While away they will visit Niagara Falls, New Yiork and Washington and upon their return will boarg temporarily. The bride is a daughter of Mr. A, A. Witherspoon, a former Statesville resident ang a sister of Mr T. E. Witherspoon, one of Salisbury’s leading young busi ness men. She is an attractive young woman witha host of friends in a half dozen North Car- alina towns. Mr. Lipe has for some time been assistant ticket agent here of the Southern Railway and has won steady promotions in the ecompa- ny’s service since he entered it. He is one of Salisbury’s most ex- cellent young mien and deserves he splendid young woman he wins for a life companion.

Considerable excitement was caused on Center street in front of Murphy’s barber shop at about 3:30 o’clock this afternoon by an affray between J. A. Gant and Sam Friedman. A big Crowd followed the men to the mayor’s office where on re- quest of Mr. Gant the trial was continued until Monday. Gant told the mayor that he desired to get some witnesses who would testify that Frie@ffian had been talking about his family affairs. Accounts of the affair vary. slightly and it seems to be the general opinion that the rumpus was started by Gant who first at- tacked Friedman. That Mr. Friedman was not looking for trouble was evidenced by, the live- ly manner in which he went up Center street with Gant in pursuit. One man said he should be in- dicted for exceeding the speed limit. — ero A Colored Mix-Up. John CoPeland and Jim Dixon had a general mix-up Monday night at the home of*the former and both were in Mayor Grier’s court yesterday morning, It seems that Dixon’s wife has left him and has gone home to live with her father, Copeland. Dixon went there monday night looking for trouble and judging by his head ang face which is bad- ly eut up he found it. He was found guilty of simple assault and fined $5.00 and half the costs and Copeland was found guilty of assault with deadly weapon and held for the nexj term of court.

S. Millsaps which appears in. _________—_——_ |another column. It is seldom that so much come mon sense, thorough logic, is crowded into such small space. No man in the state is better ac- quainted with the true conditions that exist in this county than Mr. Millsaps. He has occasion to drive over the bad roads contin- ually and when he hears one boast- ing of the county’s good high- ways, he knows that gentleman is simply working his hot air pump. In his letter, a most interesting one, Mr. Millsaps calls attention to a state of affairs that has been brought about ‘‘for lack of inter- est.”’? All, or nearly all counties except Iredell have institutions of learning for boys. Those of this county who are unable to stand the expense of an education for from home, must go without a most to be desired higher eduea- tion. Even our comparatively few miles of permanent roads, Mr. Millsaps says, are being allowed to go to the ‘“‘bow-wows”’ for ‘‘lack of interest.’’ Shame! Shame! Whose fault is this? Mr. Millsaps truly says that no nation has ever grown great that has negle¢ted its internal imProve- ments. Some time ago the Mascot sug- gested that Iredell county should have ang hold a fair next fall. . fair that would be second to none in the state. Our article, for the time, seemed to strike a popular note and there was some enthusi- asm. This paper was warmly con- gratulated for the suggestion and numerous gentlemen volunteered to take the matter up at once. But the enthusiasm was short lived. Mr. Millsaps wants a fair and knows how to go about it to get one. He says let’s have a meet- ing and organize and adds that this should be done before the first of the year. Let’s have the fair by all means. One good county fair in Statesville would be worth a dozen carnivals. In the meantime don’t forget what Mr. Millsaps says about our roads. We have it on absolutely indisputable authority; from the individuals themselves, that many of the farmers of this and adjoin- ing counties are now taking their tobaceo, cotton and other farm produce to other cities, rather than Statesville and this simply beCause of the absolutely “‘rotten”’ condition of some of the highways leading to this city, the county seat of old Iredell.

CoNductor on the Norfolk & Southern Road Lambasts a Pas- Senger Who Tried to Pass as Deaf and Dumb—The Fellow Saqys the Railroader Gave Him a Trouncing. Wilson, Nov.9—There lives in Wil- son @ man who has got it under his -|hat that he is areal slick article; ¥ | thinks there is no man who comes sihis way but what he can get the S| best of him in one way or another. % | For quite a while he has made good & | boast-on conductors on the Nofolk & s | Southern road’ by assuming the role @ | of deaf and dumb. Iu fact he gave it @ | Out to several of his friends not long 8) since that ever since the road has % | been built he has averaged making & | at least one trip a week from Wilson to Middlesex without money or price that when the conductor would ap- proach him he would ‘‘work his fin- gers’’ and the conductors would pass him by with pity. There is no road so strait but what has a crook in it somewhcre and this fact was verified to ‘‘dum- my’s’’ satisfaction one day when he boarded the westward-bound train for Middlesex. Just before reaching Simmon,s Siding the con- ductor went his rounds for the ,col- best yarn, be-t colors, best machines and best help, with & BEAUTIFUL DINNER SET We want to increase our alrerdy large subscription list, knowing that if a person reads our paper for a few months he will always read it, we have purchased a limited number of these 42-piece sets and will give one to every person who secures five paid-in-advance yearly subscribers to ee f a F EACH PIECE IS HANDSOMELY DECORATFD with French De- calcomania, rep- resenting beauti- ful violets in nat- a seer ane a solid gol idee border. 6 PIS PLATES This Set Consists } of— 6 Diuner Plates 6 Pie Plates 6 Cups and Saucers 6 Oatmeals or Fruits 6 Butter Plates 1 Oblong Veg. 1 Round Veg. 1 Meat Platter THE™WARE IS | THE HIGHEST ‘ CLASS PURCE- LAIN CHINA.’. 42 Pieces EE SUSE 2 es : EE lection of fares. He isa great big fellow—the pleasantest and finest looking ‘‘Knight of the punch”’ in the company’s employ. He approched the ‘‘dummy’’ and pleasently said: “Fares please.’’ The ‘‘afflicted’’ one as on former accasions, gave the fin- ger racket’’ Passing the fellow by the Captain continued to collect fares , and the persistent dead beat thought that he was safely checked| thorugh on a sympathetic ticket as on former occasions. His pleasant anticipations were rudely dispelled, however, for the conductor, like the proverdial cat, came back. Instead of speaking to Henry he began to manipulate his fingers (being a graduate in the sign language). He said on his fingers: “Iam truly soryfor you but you must pay your passage.’’ Henry saw that he had met his match and told the conductor so in as many words. Henry is also somewhat on his muscle, but he says “‘the trouncing that big conductor gave me has taught me that I am not so smart as I thought I was.’’ He said he had ocasion after this occurrance to visit Middlesex again and that the same conductor was on the train and when he entered the car in which he sat, that the conductor began his finger play again, but said he: You may bet your sweet life that I had the price and handed it to him. I then asked hin to have a drink out of the quart bottle thatI had with me, and he smiled, winked one eye at me and said, ‘“See me after I’m off duty,” ——+<+@>»—___ Never can tell when youl mash a finger or suffer a cut. bruise, burn or scald.

Every reader of this should read carefully the commun- ication of Farm Work Demonstra- tor E. S. Millsaps which appears in, another column. It is seldom that so much come mon sense, thorough logic, is crowded into such small space. No man in the state is better ac- quainted with the true conditions that exist in this county than Mr. Millsaps.

In his letter, a most interesting one, Mr. Millsaps calls attention to a state of affairs that has been brought about ‘‘for lack of inter- est.”’ All, or nearly all counties except Iredell have institutions of learning for boys. Those of this county who are unable to stand the expense of an education for from home, must go without a most to be desired higher educa- tion. Even our comparatively few miles of permanent roads, Mr. Millsaps says, are being allowed to go to the ‘‘bow-wows”’ for “‘lack of interest.”’ Shame! Shame!

Some time ago the Mascot sug- gested that Iredell county should have ang hold a fair next fall. . fair that would be second to none in the state. Our article, for the time, seemed to strike a popular note and there was some enthusi- asm. This paper was warmly con- gratulated for the suggestion and numerous gentlemen volunteered to take the matter up at once. But the enthusiasm was short lived. Mr. Millsaps wants a fair and knows how to go about it to get one. He says let’s have a meet- ing and organize and adds that this should be done before the first of the year. Let’s have the fair by all means. One good county fair in Statesville would be worth a dozen carnivals. In the meantime don’t forget what Mr, Millsaps says about our roads. We have it on absolutely indisputable authority; from the individuals themselves, that many of the farmers of this and adjoin- ing counties are now taking their tobaceo, cotton and other farm produce to other cities, rather than Statesville and this simply beCause of the absolutely ‘‘rotten’’ condition of some of the highways leading to this city, the county seat of old Iredell.

Cotductor on the Norfolk & Southern Road Lambasts a. Pas- Senger Who Tried to Pass as Deaf and Dumb—tThe Fellow Saqys the Railroader Gave Him a Trouncing. Wilson, Nov.9—There lives in Wil- son @ man who has got it under his ‘{hat that he is areal slick article; ¥ | thinks there is no man who comes si his way but what he can get the % | best of him in one way or another. % | For quite a while he has made good & | boast-on conductors on the Nofolk & | Southern road’ by assuming the role g | of deaf and dumb. Iu fact hegave it ' | out to several of his friends not long | since that ever since the road has ® | been built he has averaged making & | at least one trip a week from Wilson to Middlesex without money or price that when the conductor would ap- . proach him he would “work his fin- ¥igers’’ and the conductors would pass him by with pity. There is no road so strait but what has a crook in it somewhcre and this fact was verified to ‘“dum- my’s’’ satisfaction one day when he boarded the westward-bound train for Middlesex. Just before reaching Simmon,s Siding the con- ductor went his rounds for the .col- lection of fares. He isa great big fellow—the pleasantest and finest | looking “‘Knight of the punch”’ in the company’s employ. He approched the ‘“‘dummy’’ and pleasently said: ‘Fares please.’’ The “‘afflicted’’ one as on former accasions, gave the fin- ger racket’’ Passing the fellow by the Captain continued to collect fares , and the persistent dead beat thorugh on a sympathetic ticket as on former occasions. His pleasant anticipations were rudely dispelled, however, for the conductor, like the proverdial cat, came back. Instead of speaking to Henry he began to manipulate his fingers (being a graduate in the sign language). He said on his fingers: ‘Tam truly soryfor you but you must pay your passage.’’ Henry saw that he had met his match and told the conductor so in as many words. Henry is also somewhat on his muscle, but he says “the trouncing that big conductor gave me has taught me that I am not so smart as I thought I was.’’ He said he had ocasion after this occurrance to visit Middlesex again and that the same conductor was on the trainand when he entered the car in which he sat, that the conductor began his finger play again, but said he: You may bet your sweet life that I had the price and handed it to him. I then asked hin to have a drink out of the quart bottle thatI had with me, and he smiled, winked one eye at me and said, ‘‘See me after I’m off duty,”’ — Never can tell vhen youll mash a finger or sufer a cut. bruise, burn or scald.

Largely through the efforts of Will Brady, this city will have a basket ball team this winter, in fact two of them, and some good games will be seen here. The first meeting will be held at the opera house tonight when a formal organization will be Per- fected and active practice com- meneed. Some of those who have signifi- ed a willingness to join the teams are the following. Baltie Guy, Clifton Munday, Neil Waugh, Shirley Jenkins, Claude Evans, Ben Cooper, Frank Sherrill, and Sam Troutman. The boys will be coached by Mr. Freel, the new electrician recently employed by the Iredell Telephone Company. It is expected that after the boys get down to practice and playing trim such teams as that from Davidson College will visit Statesville. ~~ + Misplaced Kindness, A recently aPpointed woman principal of the graded schools one day happened in a_ school where a young ineorrigible was being punished. “Have you ever tried kind ness#** inquired she ¢* the teach- er. “*T did at first, but I’ve got be- yond that now,’’ was the reply. At the close of the lesson the principal asked the boy to eall on her the following Saturday. A boy arrived at appointed hour The hostess showed him her best pictures, played him her livliest musie and set him a delicious lunch, and then thought it time to begin her sermon. ““My dear, she began, ‘‘were you not very unhappy to stand be- fore all the class for punishment ?’’ ““Please, ma’am,’’ broke in the boy, with his mouth full of cake. ““It wasn’t me you saw. It was Billy, and he gave me a dime to come and take your jawing.”’ ae “The Runaways’’ Are all Right. A fair sized audience enjoyed The Runaways at the opera house last night, the fantastie musical comedy produced by Messrs. Sam and Lee Shubert, and Messrs. Nixon and Zimmerman, The cast is a strong one and while the kisses are limited to one for each day in the week, there is a laugh for each second of the two hours it requires to produce the eomedy. wh It was regretted that owing to | the conditions at the opera house the company was unable to use the special sCenery which it takes about the country and which re- quires two ears to haul. But even without this, the show was unquestionably the best that has visited Statesville for a long time.

Messrs Howard and Rowell Gant hunt six nights out of a week trom dark until daylight. Now perhaps you would like to know why they hunt all night. They slways get lost as soon as they get out of sight of home and can’t get back until the next day, but they always ‘‘gits "Em going and a Cumming.”’ If it ‘‘ain’t’’ pos- sums it is cats. One of our neigh- bors says he has to keep his old tom cat tied at night as Mr. Gant’s boys have no mercy on cats. They have «at so much possum that they actually go around grinning all the time.

Married at Fourteen Pretty Mrs, Di Bello Insists That Marino Tried to Lure Her From Her Husband—Is ConSidered Hand- Somest Woman in Italian Colony. New York, Nov. 12.—Married at fourteen, Concetta, the wife of Giuseppe Di Bello, who is now twenty years of age, is considered ihe handsomest woman in the italian colony near Hamilton ferry, Brooklyn, She has been annoyed by woo- ers, Who have begged:her to leave husband and children and fly to Italy, and yesterday she formally served notice on all to beware . by shooting Joseph Marino in the leg when he went to her grocery story, No. 46 Degraw street, to ask her to steal her husband’s money and elope with him. She was arrested, as was also her brother-in-law, Girado Di Bel- lo. Who, when he entered and grocery store and saw Concetta lying in a swoon on the floor, pick- ed up her revolver and sent two shots at Marina, who was limping away. Magistrate Tighe refused to hold the young woman and her brother-in-law in bail for a hear- ine. “If Marino,’’ said the Magis- trate, ““was shot by this young wife while he was trying to drag her from her husband’s home. he deserved to be shot. Tell her and her brother-in-law they are parol- ed until Friday.’’ Marino, who is in the Long Is- land College Hospital, is held in $500 for hearing on a charge of disorderly eonduet. Mrs. Di Bello freely admitted to the court that she had shot Ma- rino. She said she and her hus- band opened a grocery store eight months ago and that Marina had called frequently to buy cigaret- He recently spoke to her of his regard for her, she said, but she thought he was joking until last Sunday, when he slipped her a letter, which she handed to the court. Im it. the writer said: “I love you with all my heart. I do not sleep at night for think- ing of your beauty. I shall be happy to live near yor for life. If you have any regard for me I pray that you will put together a small sum of money, and with that and what I have we ean pass beautiful days.”’ Mrs, Di Bello says she hid the letter from her husband, as she feared he would kill her wooer, and thereafter avoided Marino, who lay in wait until her husband went to market yesterday and then entered the store. She told the court he threw his arms around her and said he had come to carry her away. She broke away and ran to a rear room. Marino stood in a middle room in a corner of which her children, who are four years and seven months old, lay asleep. “If you run out the back door or ery for help I shall kill the children,’’ Marino said, aceording to her statement. Then she shot him. + ++ > Never ean tell -vhen youl mash a finger or sufer a cut. bruise, burn or scald.

Ang Other Birds With Gay Feath- ers—She Plans to Produce Larger Ostrich Feathers for the Millinery Trade, New York, Noy, 12—Breeding the ostrich and other plumage birds for their feathers, with a view to ‘‘doing with the ostrich what has been done with the chrysanthemum,”’ is the plan of Mrs. L. S. Hertzberg, who is es- tablishing a breeding plant at Huntington, L. I. “I do not know how my plans became known,” said Mrs, Hertz- berg yesterday, ‘‘for I intended to start in on a small seale and work up quietly. “This plume,’’? she went on, taking up a large ostrich feather, “is what I am after. It is really several feathers stitcheg together. It should be possible to get ostrich plumes far heavier than they are today. : “‘Several smaller birds used in millinery will be raised on the place. It seems to me that birds carefully raised for their plumage should produce feathers of a high- er commercial value than can be had from birds not so favore- ed.’ ———<@nr-e- PRESIDENT DAVIS’ PICTURE. —— Will be Presented to the Children Children’s Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy..

Refuses to Discuss His Plans for the Future—Has Intrenched Himself Behind a Barrier of Silence—Things Have Happet- ed Fast For John Early Since the Blight of Leprosy Fell Upon Him and He is in an Ugly Mood The Washington Herald says: John Early, the leper, refuses to talk to representatives of the press. He has intrencheg himself behind a barrier of silence and his lips aer sealed. He treats one and all alike. His answer is always the same. If his visitor is a news- paper man, he_retreats to his tent and cannot be induced to reap- pear. Things have happened fast for} John Early since the blight of lep- rosy fell upon him. He was not a man used to the glare of publicity. He was not used to pruning his words before he opened his lips and let them escape. He was a religious delver, an introspec- tive, reticent person. John Early has decided that a little conversation is a dangerous thing, and has acted on his decis- ion. It is reported that he recent- ly refused a round sum of money for an interview. A representative of the Wash- ington Herald made his way to the leper camp yesterday after- noon. The guard _ called. to Mr. Early that a reporter had come to’ see him. The diseased man ap- peared at the opening of his tent only long enough to say emphati- eally that he would not be inter- viewed He showed some heat in his refusal, and was evidently set in his determination. a The decision of the Attorney General regarding the deporta- tion of Early has not yet been made. Three courses are open— sending him to the Hawaiian Is- lands, sending him to some other part of the United States, or keep- ing him in the District of Colum- bia, and providing him with a suit- able house. —_—~+<+@-o—__—.

Many friends in this city and the relatives of Dr. W. B.

Several years ago he moved to Charlotte to make his home. He is a brother of Dr. J. J. Mott of this city and is 73 years old.

A, Osborne returned yesterday from Mt Mourne, where he went to see Dr Walter B. Mott, who . suffered stroke of paralysis Tuesday. Mr. Osborne found Dr. Mott very ill. He had suffered a stroke of paralysis or apoplexy and his whole right side, face, hand and foot, is affected, as well as his organs of speech. He was at the residence of Mr. Francis Whitlow, a near neighbor, when the stroke came and was taken home yester- day on his couch. He is quite conscious when aroused and re. cognizes his friends with a pleas- ant smile but is much disposed to sleep. Mr Osborne spent the day with him and he seemed, a little brighter though entirely speech- less His two brothers, Dr. J. J. and Henry Mott, are with*him and he is being attended by Dr. L. C. Skinner, of Davidson, and the members of his own family. Every- thing is being done for him that medical skill and family affection can devise.

No. 362 No Delusion Says Dentist’s Accuser AS SHE TELLS HER STORY. — —. Miss Irvine, on Witness Stand, Swears Dr. Gregory Chloro- formed Her by Trickery and Left Alone With a Negro, Roanoke, Va., Nov. 11—Be- tween sobs and tears Miss Theo- dora Irvine, of New York, told in court her experience in the office of Dr. W.S. Gregory, a local dent- ist, whom she charged with at- tempted assault. She said she left her elocution teaching in New York to visit here and broke off one of her teeth. Dr. Gregory was recom- mended to her. She went to his office with Mrs, Coulter, with whom she has been staying Dr. Gregory told her, she said, that her tooth would require a crown, adding that as all his other pa- tients had been treated he could attend to her immediately. “Dr. Gregory worked hard on the tooth,’’ she said, ‘‘and tried to make me say it hurt, but the tooth was dead and I suffered no pain. Mrs. Coulter left the office and then he talked about dreams, final- ly telling me I needed something to soothe me. I didn’t want it, but he said it would not make me unconscious and would help me, so I yielded. He put something on cotton that smelled like ether and pressed it to my tooth. He said it wasn’t ether, but I quickly lost my senses.’’ a Miss Irvine then told of her awakeneing, and Robb’ Smith, counsel for Dr. Gregory, asked her if it was not a delusion, but she flatly denieg that it was. “Dr. Gregory had his coat off,”’ she continued, ‘“‘and told me not to ery so loud, as I would be heard Then he called ‘Lee,’ and said ‘that negro is never in place.’ The negro came and I was left alone with ihm. My hair was dishevell- ed and I was afraid of my life. Dr. Gregory finally came back and told me he supposed I had a bad dream. He asked for my address and said he would like to call on me and take me out to supper. Prof. E. M. Coulter, of the Na- tional Business College, told of the fearful beating given Dr Gregory by Mr. Keedick after Miss Irvine had told of her alleged mistreat- ment. During the testimony of Miss Irvine the public was barred from the court room. ——_++ ro Boy Gets Life Sentence. _ Savannah, Ga., Nov. 12.—Solo- mon Reilly, a negro boy, 10 years old, was Tuesday convicted and given a life sentence for the mur- der of Mrs. Wilbur Torrence, at Pooler, near this city, Mrs. Torrence, for whom the boy had been working, discharged him and the following day he se- eured a shot gun, returned to her home and shot Mrs. Torrence, kill- ing her instantly.

A Problem That Was Worked Out and Written During Sleep. Many persons have written while wrapped in slumber. writing the poem of-“Kubla Khan” in his sleep is.a classic instance, but there are numerous others. Here is one which Dr. Carpenter mentions: ha his book on “Mental Physiology.” A professor at Amsterdara had been given by a banking house of that city a question to solve, involv- ing a long and difficult calculation. Several times he tried to obtain the solution, but each time he made some mistake. At last, all wearied out, he gave the problem to some of his students, telling them that if possible he would like the answer in three days. One of them, eager to get into his teacher’s good graces, took it home and worked on it for three successive nights in vain. “At last I bent myself over my figures for a third evening. It was winter, and I calculated till half past 1 in the morning, all to no pur- pose. The product was erroneous. Low at heart, I threw down my pen- cil, which already by that time had beciphered three slates. I hesitat- ed whether I would toil through the night, as I knew that the professor wanted an answer the very same morning. But, lo! my candle was already burning in the socket, and the persons with whom I lived had gone to rest. Then I also went to bed, my head filled with ciphers, and, tired in mind, I fell asleep. In the morning I awoke just early enough to dress and prepare myself to go to the lecture, vexed at heart at not having been able to solve the question and at having to disappoint my teacher. “But, oh, wonder! As I approach my writing table I find on it a paper with figures in my own hand and (think of my astonishment!) the whole problem on it solved quite aright and without a single blunder. I wanted to ask my hostess whether any one had been in my roon, but was stopped by my own handwrit- ing. Thns I must have caleulated the problem in my sleep and in the dark to boot. And, what was most temarkable, the computation was so succinct that what I saw before me on a single folio sheet had required three slatefuls, closely beciphered on both sides, during my waking state. Professor Von Swinden was amazed at the event and declared to me that while calculating the problem himself he had never once hought of a solution so simple and eoncise.”—Exchange. Embarrassing. “The sexton of a quaint old Maryland church,” said a clergy: man,~“showed me through the cool, dim building one warm afternoon and as we were departing pointed to the Bible on the lecturn and smiled. “‘A strange thing happened last Sunday in connection with that Bi- ble,’ he said. ‘We had a strange minister preaching here, and when he ae the book he came upon a notice and read it out with all due solemnity. It was a request for the congregation’s sympathy and rayers for John Q. Griggs, who bad been deeply afflicted by the loss of his wife.’ “The sexton paused and chuckled softly. “*You see, sir,’ he said, ‘our regular minister has been using that paper as a bookmarker more than a year, and John Q. Griggs, in a natty gray suit, sat in a front pew with the new wife he had taken just the week before.’ ” A Castle In Ireland. ‘ Phe name of castle for a country house is preserved in Ireland, rath- er curiously, for Ireland has not the vestiges of French customs so no- ‘ticeable in Scotland. The dullest ‘little villa, so it be solitary in an Erish country place, bears that name, and the smile of the Saxon when he arrives and sees the castle is cheap and unscholarly. Where the Celt—the female Celt, that is— does earn and deserve that slight sign of derision is in her practice th her visiting cards intended for London use. The word castle there for a second and country address does seem to su, machicolations, if not sieges and sally ports—Lon- don Chronicle. Got His Answer. An Englishman traveling in Ire- land complained that he could find none of the famous Irish wits of whom he had heard. He was ad- vised to to the next farmer or teamster he met. A little later he encountered a peasant leading a horse with a load of turf. The} horse had a blazed face. - “What a white face your horse has, my man!” said the Englishman by way of an opening. “Sure,” replied the Irishmen “your own will be as white when it has been as long in the halter.”— Birmingham P .

The cotton crop of 1908 is either earlier than ever before, or it will prove the biggest crop that has ever been gathered, is the verdict of the local cotton men, taking as a basis the ginners’ report, which was issued on Monday, and which shows that over 2,000,000 more bales have been ginned up to November the Ist, than in the same period last year. The ginning to November Ist, 1906, was 6,906,395, and the com- mercial crop of that year was 15,- 511,000 bales. The November vinners’ report for last year was 6,128,562, and the commercial crop of that year was 11,572,000 bales. Taking these figures as a basis to figure the crop of the present year, the indications are that it will be the largest in history. . Carrying these @omparisons a little further, a local cotton factor said today: ““The next report will be issued on November 21st, showing the sinning to November 14th. Dur- ing this period last year there were ginned 1,655,847 bales. The same proportion of inerease would make the next report approxi- mately 10,000,000 bales ginned up to November 14th. A comparison of this ginning with previous years shows one of two things: The crop is unusually early or the largest ever grown.”’ ———_2-< PREACHER INVENTS SWITCH Monroe’s Pastor DeSigns Auto- matic Safety Device for Rail- roads—Also Applies for Patent On a Penty-in-the-Slot Device. Monroe, Nov. 12.—Rev. Dr. H. F. Chrietzberg, pastor of the Cen- tral M. E. church, has invented an automatie safety switch for rail- roads and has a working model of it in his home, Iie has constructed an oval- shaped track about 20 feet in length, and has a small locomotive } with a tender running upon it, which is worked by electrical pow- er. A side track runs off the main one at the switch, and when this is open the switch closes it automat- ically as soon as the engine comes within a certain distance of it. In several hundred trials the switch has never failed to work. Dr. Chreitzberg has also ap- plied fer a patent on a penny-in- the-slot device for opening the lock of a door. With his scien- tifie, as well as classical attain- ments, the doctor is able to draw illustrations for his sermons from the realm of natural law, which he often does with great effect.

If November cleventh is cold and clear, Then the winter will be severe; ut if that day be stormy, child, The next four months will all be mild, So runs the old saw in which is embodied the popular superstition of St. Martin’s influence over the weather.

HH» died November 11, 397, and, in acoerdance with aid vhurch eustom, his day is cele- brated by ritualistic churches the w aid over on tue anniversary of his death, Yesterday evening there was a thunder storm, followed by a heavy rain—somewhat of a rarity for this climate.

Judge Boyd Rules at Asheville That any PerSon Found at an Hilicit Distillery Will be Re garded as a Mootshiner. Judge A. L. Coble, assistant district attorney, has returned from Asheville where the Federal court was in session last week, with Judge Boyd on the bench. Judge Boyd made an important ruling Saturday which will be of interest throughout the state. He held that the presence of a person at an illicit distillery was prima facie evidence of the guilt of the person, saying that such person was really aiding and abet- ting in the operation of the still. In the trial of moonshine cases in the past persons found at the blockade still when the raid was made have testified ‘‘that they were just passing by and stopped a minute,’’ and have thus escaped.

When Family of Postmaster Fes- perman are Awakened They are Still Suffering From Effects of Drug Administered by Robber, Who Ransacked Both Dwelling and Store. ——— ¢ Spencer, Nov. 13.—The family of Postmaster Fesperman in East Spencer, was chloroformed short- iy after midnight yesterday morn- ing. his keys stolen from his room and his store entered and robbed by an unknown burglar, who made his eseape. An entrance was effected to the dwelling by breaking open a glass door, after which the intruder went through the room of a young lady, whom the nareotie was ad- ministered, before ransacking the room oceupied by Mr. and Mrs. Fesperman. A watch was also taken from the clothing of Mr. Fesperman. Proceeding to the store near the dwelling, the robber unlocked the door and ransacked the premises, taking $9 belonging to the Post- oftice department. The door was left unlocked and goods and clothing strewn around the place were found this morn- ing by neighbors, who awoke the family of Mr. Fesperman while they were still suffering from the effects of the choloform. There is no clue to the guilty parties. +<<>> Peacetown Tonight. J. Early Hughes presents C. O. Young Jr’s. beautiful American comedy ‘‘Peacetown,’’ in four acts at the opera house tonight.

Chief of Police Connor Has a Com- plete Description of Two Quad- rupeds That Disappeared From the Residence of Mr. C. S. Hol- land and is on the Lookout for the Runaways. The duties of a chief of police are varied in the extreme and by Buck Connor they are never shirked. Today he has been on an official possum hunt and those who know of the popular official’s sporting proclivities can easily judge that he has enjoyed himself, although up to a late hour this evening he had not bagged his game. With a mouth that just ‘‘wa- ters’’ for possum flesh, Mr. ©. S. Holland was quick to purchase a pair of fine possums that was of- fered him yesterday. He took them to his residence on Front street and left them in his hall- way, securely tied in a bag. He intended to take them out this morning and place them in a suit- able box where they could be ‘‘fed up a little’? preparatory to their slaughter for a Thanksgiv- ing Day feast. But, alas! This morning Mi fiollang found only the bag. A big hole had been gnawed in it ind the prisoners had made their their cseape. Iiunt every where as he would, ‘ts, Moliand could find no trace of ihe little animals. Then he did the next best thing. ile hunted up Chief of Police Connor—its always easy to find him and turned the case over to that obliging official. Mr. Holland desribed the lost possums very fully and as follows: ‘‘One of them was a dark iron gray, large and fat with rather small eyes. ‘“‘The other was lighter in color, a sort of steel gray, with white ‘ips on its ears an da white blaze on its face.”’ ‘“‘T am sure,’’ said Mr. Holland, to the chief, “‘that neither of them had any hair on their tails.’’ Mr. Hollang would like to have his possums back and if any one sees them, meandering about the streets he will be very SS if notified. ——_—__+<+@>»_____ A Pleasant Social, The ladies of the Women’s Mis- sionary Society of the First Assoc- ciate Reformed church gave an exceedingly enjoyable social and reception at the church yesterday evening. The event was in honor of Miss Jepie Love, missionary to Mexico who has been here for several weeks visiting her parents, and other relatives and friends. The reception was held in the Sunday school room which was very handsomely decorated with autumn leaves and ferns and a large number of ladies were pres- ent.

State vs. John Atkins. ‘D+fendant was convicted Jan- uary term, 1905, of Stanley su- perior court, of larceny, and sen- tenced to twelve months on the county roads. On account of de- fenant’s age, his previous good character, his good prison record and upon the recommendation of the jury and many of the lead- ing citizens of the county, Igrant pardon conditioned on defendant remaining of good behavior. State vs. William Davis. Defendant was convicted Feb- ruary term 1908, Beaufort supe- rior court, of larceny and 3en- tenced to twelve months on the county roads. The defendant having been seriously and prob- ably {permanently injured while working on the chain gang of Beaufort county, which has caused him much suffering, he having proved @ good and faith- prisoner, on the recommendation of the solicitor, county commis- sioners, and upon the certificate of skilled physicians a3 to his present condition, I grant par- don, conditioned on defendant’s remaining of good behavior. State vs. William Milain. Prisoner was convicted No- vember term, 1906, Mitchell su- perior court ofsecret assault and sentenced to four years. I refus- ed this application once, but af- ter seeing and talking with many people from this section, I am satisfied that if the defendant was guilty he had great pruvo- cation, for the prosecutor had wronged him fearfully, causing him and his wife to separate. Therefore after hearing new evi- dence, I grant pardon condition. ed on defendant remaining of good behavior. —_—_—— +O. COTTON MARKET. Local Market.

A significant feature of the de- nial by the United States circuit court of apeals of the petition of the government for a rehearing of the Standard Oil appeal from tha $29,240,000 fine imposed by Judge Landis, was the appearance of resentment on the part of the eourt toward the government at- torneys for the manner in which they petitioned for another hear- ing of the appeal. The government has used strong language in its character ization of the court in refusing the decision of Judge Landis impos- ing the monumental fine. It was perhaps inevitable that the eriticism to twvhich the courts have been subjected should have excited the resentment of judges who in the final analysis are but men. In denying the petition of the government for a rehearing the judges were moved to say: **Courts have the right to ex- pect that counsel accustomed to practice in the courts of review not only know the meaning of legal terms constantly in use in discussions and opinions of these courts, but will not misuse such terms to spread misinformation re- specting a judgment that in the nature of the case is bound to at- trfacts wide public attention.’’ —————~<+2>e—__ THANKSGIVING DAY. The Governor yesterday issued hts Thanksgiving proclamation. IIe ealls attention to the many blessings the state has enjoyed during the year. There was no pestilence, famine or earthquake, and no mob violence; the state is out of debt and prosperous, and has made great edeational ad- vancement. Morality and virtue is overcom- ing vice, and wrong is giving way to right ; so says the governor and he’s right. +++ Some Wonders of New York City. Over 250,000 people work at night.

The whole world is proveriizily | said to love a lover. Jike most pro- | Verbial statements, this one is ex: | ceedingly open to question. In fact, ‘all the evidence seems fi:tly the ‘other way. On what data, one won- 'ders, did the old proverb maker : base his dictum? Surely not on ‘the great love stories. The world, with its appetite for vicarious ex- citement, likes well enough tt watch the tragic spectacie of a great passion. Incapable of great feelings itself, it thrills tv the drama of them in others. It ever applauds their lawlessness and can- onizes their audacity. All the same, it will not raise a finger to help while the story is in the making, but, on the contrary, does every- thing in its power to persecute and impede. The moment Romeo and Juliet are safely dead in each oth- er’s arms the world is voluble with its sympathy, but not till it is quite possible service to the lovers. While sympathy wuld be of some use, the world, which is the embodied cow- ardice and cant of humanity, stands firm with Montague and Capulet, good. No one has ever denied that the world loves success, though it has always consistently done iis worst to prevent it. Yes, the world loves successful love, as it fawns on anything that has conquered it. It loves also pity that costs it nothing. But that it loves a lover, for love of love, is.simply not true. If it were true, there would probably have been no love stories, for the drams of love has mostly come of the con- flict between the lovers and the world. They had to count the world well lost to win each other. It was so in the days of Tristan and Iseult, and so it still is in the days of Ru- dolph of Bavaria.—Richard Le Gal- lienne in Smart Set. Life of a Watch. The lifetime of a good watch, says Amateur Work, is fifty years. In its daily duties the balance vi- brates 18,000 times every hour, 432,000 times a day, or 157,680,000 times a year. The hairspring makes a similar number of vibrations and an equal number of ticks from the escapement. If it is really a good watch, multiply 157,689.000 by 50, which gives 7,88/,000,000 pulsa- tions in fifty years. The chances are that the watch may even then be in serviceable condition. This is a marvelous record, considering the small quantity of food that has been consumed by its constant action. We say food because whatever la- bors must be fed, and the watch “jives” on about sixteen inches of mainspring every twenty-four hours, which furnishes the power. His Hereditary Foe. ‘An Irishman, a Scotchman and an Englishman on the unemployed list were once fame the coun- try in search of work. On coming to a field of turnips they took sev- eral in order to appease the pangs of hunger. For this they were dragged before the judge, who took ; a lenient view of the case. Before sentencing each to twelve lashes on the bare back he agreed to confer 1/@ small favor according as each re- nested. The Englishman asked the avor of his overcoat, the Scotch- man his own as well as that of the said, “May it please your honor, I would just like the Englishman across my back.” An Important Question. He was an impecunious, seedy, out at the elbows person, and the doctor, when he prescribed for him, a | knew better than to expect a fee. ‘For the inflamed eyes,” said the benevolent physician, “dissolve ss much boracic acid as you can put on a ten cent piece in half a glass of water.” “Thank you, doctor,” murmured the patient, turning away. A mo- ment later, however, the office door was opened, and the patient sidled “Say, doc,” said he, with an in- tiating smile, “where do I get e ten cent piece?” The Faith of a Celestial. ‘A Chicago gambler, whose first name was George, used to visit a Chinaman’s establishment and smoke opium and gamble almost daily. One day he rushed into the place and said excitedly: ‘Hip, loan me $10. Thanks. I’ll come in and pay you tomorrow noon if Pm alive.” And out he went with the money. About 3 o’clock the next afternoon a friend of the gambler ped in on the Chinaman and eaid, “Hip, where is George today?” and the confiding Celestial wiped his eyes with the corner of his blouse and replied, “George, him dead.”—~Earth. 0O O O G 6 % OO O S D O H S S S O SSS3S6000004000 seniors.

The chestnut bark disease, or chestnut blight, first noticed in this country in 1904, has been making such rapid progress that it threatens to destroy a large part of our forests, and seems to be quite the most serious tree disease ever introduced into this country. Tha destruction already wrought, together with the quick spread of the fungus, leads the government experts to say that they see no reason why the chestnut should not shortly be absolutely extermi- nated in the Eastern United States Such an event would be a calam- ity. The disease seems to have been imported from Japan and to have ussumed unusual virulence on com ing into contact with the Ameri- gan variety of the tree. The spores of the fungus enter through any convenient crack or exposed space and at once begin to vegetate, killing the tissues in which they grow On smooth bark small brown or orange pus- tules are seen, but on rough bark these are often hidden, and the withering of parts of the tree is often the first notice that it has been attacked. The fungus appears to molest no tree but the chestnut, but it is fatal to all varieties of the tree, with the possible exception of some of those from Japan and Korea. ea MASSEY SEEMS DAZED.

Brincelield Wants Pardon SOLD WATER FOR WHISKEY. Then Attempted To Get Out of Jail By Forging a Bail Bond For Which He Is Now Serving Five Years on The Roads—Many People Think He Has Been Sufficiently Punish- ed. oe ; Mr. James Brincefield of Rowan county, was in the city yesterday morning in the interest of his son, Charles Brincefield, who is now sery- ing a five years sentence on the chain gang for forgery. Mr. Brincefield will ask for a par- don for his son on Dec. 18 and he told a representative of the Mascot that he would have a big petition asking for the pardon of his son, when that time comes, ready to pre- sent to the governor. He said that the judge who sen- tenced his boy, the solicitor who pros- ecuted him, many of the court offi- cers and a heap of lawyers and well known Gitizens of both this and Rowan county had promised to sign the petition.: {~~ Gee In talking with a number of peo- ple today the Mascot man discovered that there is quite a general impres- sion abroad to the effect that the man has been punished sufficiently.. The pardon will be asked for on the ground that his aged parent who is nearly blind and in infirm health needs the son’s support and also on the ground that no one lost anything by the forgery. The case against Brincefield is well remembered and at the time occu- pied a prominent place in the papers and in judicial circles. Brincefield was first arrested about two years ago next May on a charge that he sold a couple of negroes a keg of water, having represented; that it was whiskey. While in jail he procured a blank form filled out a bail bond and sign- ed the name of parties in Rowan county where he had once lived, to it. The forgery was discovered and it was on this charge that he was sentenced to the roads for sevn years. 2 eg SE Later the sentence was reduced to five years. Brincefield was a Rowan boy but married a daughter of Mr. Watt Morgan, of this city and lived there after that until his arrest. His wife is Now living with her father in this city and is said to be an invalid. ———_++ > _—— To Build a Reservoir. Mr. J. A.

Young Emperor of China Dead KEPT IN THE BACKGROUNDS. News of Death Suppressed Until Nephew Was Installed on Throne. He Was But Thirty-eight Years Old and His Health Had Long Been a Matter of Grave Concern to the Empire. Washington, Nov. 14.—Official notice of the death of the emper- or of China has been received at. the state department here and at the Chinese legation. Hedied suddenly in the imperial palace at Peking. The emperor was but thirty- eizht years old and his health had long been a matter of grave concern to the Empire. During the entire period of bis reign his mother, the dowager empress T'zu-Hhe was the virtual rulerand she kept Kwang Su, who appears to have been a moral and metal weakling, in the backgronnd. The news of the death of Kwa- ng Su was suppressed until af- ter his nephew, Prince Puyi, who is only three years old, was tak- en into the palace by the dowa. ger empress and installed on the thrown. The Prince is a son of Prince Cbun, brother of the em- peror, and was designated recen- tly as the heir presumptive. The emperor suffered from ne- phritis, complicated with other ailments. The foreign legations in Peking offered the services of their skilled physicians but their offers were declined by the em- press dowager and her son was treated by the native doctors. One of the last acts of the em- peror was to issue an edict pro- mising constitutional goverment and ordering administrative and financial reforms, ———_+<>-o-—___— Superior Court Adjourns, Judge Long spent this morning in entering and signing up orders and at noon adjourned the November term of the Iredell superior court.

Miss Matilda Retering’s Hair Was Caught by Shaft—Physicians Say She Will Recover and Her Tréses May be Saved—Few Cases Known. Baltimore, Nov. 14.—As the result of having her hair caught in the shaft of a machine used in the manufac- ture of hats, Miss Matilda Lombard Detering, 27 years old, 1321 West Lombard street, was scalped about noon yesterday while working at the factory of M. S. Levy & Sons, Paca and Lombard streets, While operating one of the ma- chines Miss Deterings’ hair became loose, and in falling some strands were caught about the shaft. In the twinkle of an eye Miss Detering’s hair was being wound about the ma- chine. A few revolutions only were necessary before the hair was all wound up, and Miss Detering was pinioned to the shaft, and it appear- ed that her skull would be crushed before the machine could be stopped. Her screams attracted several em- ployes, and whén they saw what had happened they became terror-strick- en. One operator, more composed than the rest, made an effort to stop the machine. Before she succeeded the skin about Miss Detering’s fore- head broke, and in an instant her skull was bare. The skin broke about the ears and around the neck. Dr. Louis H. Seth, of the Maryland University Hospital, was sent for and found Miss Detering in a highly nerv- ous state. Dr. Seth gave her tem- porary relief, and Dr. Sydney Cone, the company’s physician, was notified. Dr. Cone suggested that Miss Deter- ing be taken to the Maryland General Hospital. A private ambulance was obtained and the run was made to the hospital in a short time. All the while Miss Detering was conscious. Notwithstanding that she was bereft of her scalp, she lost little blood. It did not take Dr. Cone and the physicians at the hospital long to sew the sealp and its hair to her head. The case is being watched with much interest by the hospital author- ities. Few s'milar cases have been known in Jocal haspitals. Whether the skin will grow on the head is problematic. At the hospital it is said that so few cases were known that they had no statistics on the sub- ject. Soon after the accident Miss De- tering, fearing she would die, sent for Rev. J. A. Boyd, pastor of St. Peter’s Catholic church. He arrived in less than 10 minutes and adminis- tered the last rites of the church. While it is doubtful whether Miss Detering’s hair will be restored, there is little doubt but that she will re- cover, in the opinion of the physi- cians, ——$_—$—4-4+ > —-—___- COTTON MARKET.

Having disposed of his tobacco at high prices at one of the warehouses, he felt that he was entitled to recreation— and sought it unwisely by partaking of too much ‘‘white lightning.” Sitting in a little obscure restaurant, he was stroking his red mustache when two little negro bootblacks im- portuned him for business.

They were words which annuled the mar- riage vows, which granted Moses the divorce he longed for, which made him a free man. Moses’ married life has not been a pleasant one and in court yesterday he made most serious charges against the one he once loved so fondly and SO proudly led to the marriage altar. He told the court that one Arthur White had €ntered his home and stolen his wife’s affections and that the two had been guilty of very wicked and unlawful conduct. Her name was Annie But Moses says its Mud now, for he’s got @ divorce in his inside pocket and says he don’t expect the whole thing will cost him Quentin turned away with a} ™ore than fifteen dollars.

Moses is a young negro, very re- spectable and is weH thought of by his employes and the tenants of the block where he tends ‘the furnace, cleans out and makes himself gener- ally useful. Some of his friends intimate that Moses is about ready to take another sail on the matrimonial sea but he indignantly denies this and says he knows when he’s had “nuff” of a thing. = ene Pe Mrs. Julia Cannon of Charlotte is a guest at the home of her father, Mr. J.

THE RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL The supreme court of Georgia makes a very important decision as to the right of a policeman to make an arrest in a private house without being armed with a warrant for the party’s arrest. It declares that he has no right to make Such an arrest for a misde- meanor unless it be committed in his presence. “ ae An Atlanta dispatch says of the court’s decision on the question: ‘‘For a city police officer to enter a house and attempt to arrest with- out a warrant, a person therein for theviolation of a city ordinance or committing a misdemeanor not com- mitted in the officer’s presence is to commit a double trespass which may be resisted by the person sought even to the taking of life, holds the state court of appeals in a sweeping decision in a case appealed from the court of Bibb county.” Princess Is An Anarchist AND SHE WILL NOT DENY IT. It Now Remains to be Seen if the Immigration Officials Will Draw a Distinction When She Arrives in New York atd Allow her to Land. Seehaianen London, Nov. 15.—Great cur- iosity has been aroused,here by the announcement thatthe Prin- _peess KropatKin, a member of the Russian nobility and an auar- chist intends to visit America early next year. The American immigration laws forbids the admission of anarchists, and John Turner, a famous Lcenion anarchist, was turned back some years ago. The husband of the princess, a distinguished savant and Nihilist was given a tremendous ovation by society folk when he visited America some years ago. The Kropatkins, who are exiles from Russia, have lived in Lon- don for the past 20 years. The priace is a well known and re- spected author unl a man of science, while the princess is ‘al- most as gifted as her husband, naving taken de vress’ at the uni versities of Parisand Geneva anc oeing a contributor to severa reviews and periodicals. The friends of the priucess say she will most certainly write her self down an anarchist in the blanks which foreiznersa are re- quired to fill vut The immigration authorities, however are expected to rezog- nize the differance between her sort of anarchism and that of John Turner, who was excluded a few years ago. ——++@>-»—__.

Yet they would have ; no such difficulty with a mat and prob ably be able to guess, especially if they were good Yankees, within ten or twen- ty pounds of his weight. The govern- ments of Europe Lave lorg been pur- chasing and weighing horses for the military service and transferring them from carriage or draft employment to the various branches of cavalry and artillery. The animals are ordinarily assigned according to weight.

Such horses as these are assigned to the light cavalry corps. The next grade above, which in civil life passes as a “coupe horse,” or carriage horse of medium weight, ranges in weight up to 480 kilograms, about 1,050 pounds. This horse goes to help mount the cavalry of the line. Next come the fashionable “coach horses” of persons of luxury, which weigh from 500 to 580 kilograms, or from 1,000 to nearly 1,800 pounds. These horses go to serve the purpose of drill for the cavalry ‘belonging to the reserve military forces. Above these there are still two grades of heavy horses. The first are those used for ordinary draft purposes and are commonly found drawing the omni- buses of Paris where such vehicles are still in use. These weigh from 1,100 to 1,500 pounds. The heaviest horses are the Clydesdales and Per- cherons, which are oxen in size and strength and which weigh from 600 to §00 and sometimes even up to 900 kilo- grams—that is, from 1,300 up to near- ly 2,000 pounds. cherons of the heaviest weight are used in the military service, but some of the lighter ones are employed for draft and artillery purpvses.—Buffalo Commercial.

It is Thought That Sensational De- tails Will Develop. London, Nov. 15.—The Princesss 0 co be an authoritative report, has pri- vately appealed to the British courts for a separation from the prince on the ground of cruelty. In spite of a denial of the report it is generally accredited and friends ot the prince and princess, frequent- ers of the Carlton.and the other smartsmart restaurants of London’s gay life all declare that the separa- tion pleads only to a*preliminery suit to be brought by the princess. The De Sagans have been married only over a little four months. The marriage took place here in the office of a registrar. There has been con- considerabl oi a mystery in London ever since the honymoon, which, it is nov said was s} ent in Cantal in that part of France where the princess spent her first honeymoon when she was the Countess De Castellance. After the honeymoon De Sagen re- turned to Paris but they did not re- main there long. They have been seen frequently in London and the princess has made a number of new friends. It is to these that she has confided the secret that she wants a separation from her prince after a ave months trial. If the promised suit for divorce should follow the ap- peal for separation, the ground on which the suit would be brought are a matter for considerable speculation. A part of smart London hears that such a suit might develop sensational jJetails but friends of the prosecuted with the utmost secrecy and attempt to escape publicity. —_—————_~<~@ynvrr—— Eufola R.

Ask- ed if he cared to make any announce- ment concerning the reported engage- ment of his daughter, he dictated the following statement. “I do not care to say anything further than that my daughter and the Duke de Abruzzi are not engaged to be married, and that I regret ex- ceedingly the annoyance that must have cometo the Duke and his family by reasons of the almost daily discus- sion of the matter in the press and the constant publication of rumors for so long a time—rumors which I venture to hope will now cease.” While the Senator made it clear that Miss Elkins and the Duke de Abruzzi are not engaged, he enter- ains for the Duke the highest regard, as was evidenced by the reply which he made to an inquiry as to how well he was acquainted with the Duke. “Not very well,’ he responded; frankly, ‘‘but from what I know and fave heard of him, I regard him as not only 2 distinguished personality by reason of his birth and position, but added to this he is an able man of the highest character, a well- known explorer and scentist—one who has done things and accomplish- ed much—besides being an efficient officer of high rank in the navy of his country.” _ Senator Elkins was earnest in his expression of the hope that his state- ment would be accepted by the pub- Ye in the spirit in which it was made. b : and Claud Evans.

Goodwin. pres- ident of Packer Institute, Brooklyn, at the closing session of the annual convocation of the University of the State of New York. He emphasized the need for trades and industrial | schools and courses. Dr. Goodwin said in part. a “A second system of education for the United States is yet to be worked out. When completed it must pro- vide for both character development, and adequate equipment for the bat- tle of life. In recent times the Amer- ican school has not kept pace with national progress in production and methods of doing business. The ma- jority of children need a different training in the public schools from that. which has been in.yogue. Both the secondary and the elementary schools are seriously defective in the matter of adjustment ao present con- ditions. While there has been some broadening of the scope and improve- ment of the quality of instruction, ed- ucators ‘still largely ignore the inter- ests of that great and growing class of boys who are to be wage earners, artisans and tradesmen. “The indictment against our pres- ent schemes of elementary instruc- tion is that it overburdens the mem- ory with uninteresting and useless material. Something must be done the school to induce these pupils to stay in school and finish courses that will prepare them to perform well their parts in the practical affairs of life. The conception of trades schools, industrial and business courses, is the only thing that will do this. “There are two great reasons for the establishment of trade and in- dustrial schools and courses. The first is the good of the youth them- Selves the second is the welfare of the nation in the upbuilding of itsin- dustries: The system ef apprentice- shiphas has disappeared, and, some- how. the public school must be made to take its place. We are gradually coming to recognize the injustice of organizing our high schols in the in- terest of the few alone who are able to command a liberal or semi-liberal education. The demand of some special training for the vocations is based upon the impulse to rescue un- fortunate boys from social submer- sion, and to afford every willing worker a fair opportunity for self- support. “What are our high schools doing today to meet the growing demand for skilled workers of all sorts? Practically nothing. They contribute in New York State, less than 2 per cent. of the men who yearly enter the so-called “unlearned’? professions, There is need of skilled labor in the’ development of the country’s re- sources. The time for system and science in business is here. We must meet it or suffer disastrous conse- quences.” Public schools are conducted pri- marily for the good of the state and the state cheats herself if she fails to rain the boys in such a way as to make them most useful and produc- tive, when they arrive at man’s es- tate. This is a practical age and -ompetition is keen. The _ state whose citizens are not trained in such a way as to enable them to compete in commercial and industrial activi- ties with the citizens of other states will necessarily retrograde. Practical education is a necessity of the age. _—— BRYAN AND CLAY. Mr. Bryan’s most formal statement since his defeat, which appears in this week’s issue of his newspaper, che Commoner, serves to indicate, he contrast that has been noted between himself and Henry Clay, with whom as a presidential candidate, he has veen frequently compared. Probably no other candidate who failed of 2lection to the presidency, save Mr. Bryan, succeed in winning so large and enthusiastic a following as Hen- ry Clay, and no other save Mr. Bry- an, made so many Canvasses that were so formidable and at certain stages appeared to his supporters so likely to be crowned with success. An im portant contrast in the char- acters of the two mén however, may ye discovered in comparing the dif- <erent spirits in which they accepie ijefeat. Mr. Bryan not only has man ifested an admirable resignation, but, as in his present statement, he has expressed a sense of deep thankful- ness for the benefits that it has been Yotchsafed to him to receive. Mr. Clay, on the other hand, was not always able to restrain the expres- sion of his bitter disappointment, and on one occasion, when he failed of the nomination that he regarded as practically certain election, his pas- sionate outburst knew no bounds. ry Harrison quite unexpectedly won the whig nomination and was elect- ed. 3 It has been remarked also that Mr. Bryan’s course bears out his statement, that the holding of office is a mere incident in his life; but Mr. Clay’s passion for the presidency was so intense and all con-suminyz that in the cnumpaign of 1844 he wrote the famous “Alabama” letter, in which he appeared to bargain with the slavery issue, and by which he was defeated. ——t+nr-o—_ —.. *‘Had dyspepsia or indigestion for years.

He that kisseth thee without warn- ing and with perfect elat looketh up- on thee as an amusement but he that asketh thee if he may kiss thee, in fear and trembling, regardeth thee as a serious thing.

Voorhees looked up carelessly from his writing and responded: “Caramels. Help yourself.” Garland needed no second invitation and, pieking up two or three, placed one in his mouth. Steadily he chewed away, his face betraring no sign of ihe conflict within him. This alarmed Voorhees, who went to Vest's Gesk an! said: “He's eating them, Vest! What sha! we do? The stuff will kill him sure!’ Senator Vest replied that it could do no more than make him sick. Garland swallowed the stuff, although he was foaming at the mouth from the soap- suds. He related the incident after- ward with great gusto and said he kiled him —_— —-. Judging a Melon. Is there any way for a purchaser to tell a good melon without cuiting and testing it? That is exactly what an expert melon grader is expected to do, to judge the flavor of the melon as well as the size. The best external in- dication in a netted Gem and melons of similar type is a golden greenish color, the melon being deeply ribbed and thickly overlaid with rather coarse gray netting, the edges of which rise perpendicularly from the surface. The melon should be heavy. There should be no ragged or broken stem to indl- cate that the melon was torn from the vine before it was ripe enough to part freely. If one follows these points he is pretty sure to get the perfection of melon produced by the quality of the seed planted. If the seed bas come from a tasteless melon the result will be disappointing even with thorough culture and the best care in picking and shipping.—Baltimore American. Bore and Critic Both. Midnight came and still the bore re- mained. “Do you like music?” asked the beau- tiful girl just to break the monotony. “Passionately fond of it,’ replied the bore. “In fact, music will always carry me away.” She rushed over to the piano ané played several popular airs. “You are still here,” she said, turn ing on the stool. “Yes,” yawned the bore. “But I thought you said music al- ways carried you away?” “So I did—music!’—Dundee Adver- tiser. The Value of a Good Memory. If men only realized how great an asset in life is a retentive memory they would take care to see that their children’s were properly trained. The simplest method consists in learning every day a few lines by heart. None of our faculties can be trained so easi- ly as that of memory. — Stuttgart Familienblatt.

Thunderstorms, Blizzards, Tornadoes and Earthquakes Have No Effect on His Publication, the President Tells Members. (Copyright, 198, by T. C. McClure.] “My frens,” said Brother Gardner after the official business of the meet- ing had been concluded, “I has had several occashuns to lecture de mem- bers of dis Limekiln club on de sub- jick of dreams and signs. I has eben gone so fur as to suspend three or fo’ members fur carryin’ dream books about in deir hind pockets. It hain’t no use to fight agin what de cull’d race has believed in fur de last 200 years, and I hereby announce dat from dis “A BALDHEADED WHITE MAN STANDS ON DE SHORE LAUGHIN’ AT YOU.” date forwards any and all members of dis club kin dream fo’ty dreams aj you. It means dat your landlord am night and spend all day long lookin’ -fur signs. Howeber, as I don’t want | you home he will raise your rent $2 a to see you throw your time away and you might as well patronize home in- dustry as to go elsewhere, I have in- vented and published what is called ‘Brother Gardner’s Dream and Sign Book.’ De price is no mo’ dan you have to pay fur odders, and most of de dreams I have dreamed myself, and you kin depend upon dem. Dis book will be sent to any pusson, black or white, in America fur de smal] sum of a dime. Money refunded if you am found dead in your bed arter dreamin’ of bein’ choked to death by a ghost. “I take pleasure in readin’ you a few extracts from de work, and I want you to take pertick’ler notice dat thun- derstorms, blizzards, tornadoes and airthquakes have no effect on dis book. It takes no holidays off. It makes no distinctions between rich and pore, de Innercent or de wicked. Brudder Shin will run de temperature of de hall up to 140 degrees by throwin’ dat last soap box into de stove, and I will read: “To dream dat you am roostin’ up a tree and de old woman am sittin’ at de foot of it wid a club in her hand sorter signifies dat tf you make any complaints about breakfast next mawn- in’ dar will be an area of high pressure in de atmosphere directly ober your cabin. I have found it to come out dat way on sebenteen different occasions. “To dream dat you have spent de hull day fishin’ and am jest gwine home at sundown widout havin’ a bite may be taken to mean dat dar am sun- thin comin’ to you and dat you'll git it befo’ you am many hours older. “To dream dat you am runnin’ across a field at your best speed, wid a roarin’ bull arter you and gainin’ at every jump, sometimes signifies dat you am about to find a dollar in de road. At other times it signifies dat you am about to lose one. “De woman who dreams of bein’ follered along a highway in de night by a white mewl kin wake up in de mawnin’ and feel sure dat she am gwine to hear some news about her re- lations. De hull pile of ’em are prob- ably comin’ to stay fur a fortnight, wid de ole man out of work and de rent three months behind. “De man who dreams dat he has just cast his ballot fur president and feels in his pockets to find them empty Should take warnin’ and git his $2 in advance. Concerning Chickens. “To dream of havin’ a chicken under each arm jest as you turn a co’ner and run slap agin a policeman signifies dat you have an inimy dat seeks your de- struction. Wheneber I have dreamed dat dream I have let chickens alone fur de next three months. “To dream dat you won $3 shootin’ craps and dat you come home and went to bed widout sayin’ anything to de ole Woman about it and dat you woke up next mawnin’ and found de hull pile gone signifies prosperity. De safest way, howeber, is to hide de money out- doahs befo’ enterin’. “To dream of seein’ a goose carryin’ a fox in her mouth signifies a change of circumstances.

If you am usin’ wood off some white man’s pile, took out fur loaded sticks. “To dream dat you have white hair and am on your way to de drug store to git a bottle of hair dye when a yal- ler cat runs ober your feet signifies a change of some sort. You may be tak- en into a trust or kicked out of one. “To see five crows sittin’ in a line on de fence is a sign dat a pusson am comin’ along to disturb your domestic happiness. Dat pusson may try to coax your ole woman to elope wid him or may hand her a love letter dat you have writ to anoder woman. “If you wake up at midnight and hear a mysterious voice callin’ to you from afar off and it seems to be de voice of a woman stuck in de mud, you kin sot it down dat your mudder- in-law am comin’ on a visit and make things hum. You will hear her callin’ arter she arroves, and ebery call will make you jump a foot high. Hootin’ of an Owl. “To be gwine past a graveyard at aight and hear de hootin’ of an owl im ‘nuff to jump a man outer his 5utes, but dent jump. I have neber Yad dat thing happen to me widout >ringin’ good luck.

No grocer on airth kin stand up agin such a combination as dat. ind de minute you ax to be trusted he will refuse you. “To have a blind mewl pass you while you am sittin’ on de fence am a sign ‘dat you am gwine to be dunned fur your pew rent de follerin’ Sunday ind dat you'll have to pay at least 50 -ents down and make some big prom- ises regardin’ de balance. “If you am sittin’ on de back steps of your cabin, wishin’ you was rich and great, and a speckled hen walks out In front of you and tries to crow. you git outer dat as fast as your legs will carry jest around de co’ner. and if he finds month. “To be walkin’ along a highway and find a corkscrew am one of de baddest signs I know of. It am a sign dat you have got a pull widout anything to pull at. “To be walkin’ {n an alley at mid- night and suddenly hear a voice at your elbow am a sign dat de policeman who owns de voice am gwine to take you to de station and ax for ’explana- shuns. If you kin convince him dat you was walkin’ to meditate, he will let you go. If you can’t, it will be thirty days or $5 fine next mawnin’. Allus be prepared fur dis emergency. “If you am passin’ down an alley in de daytime and see fifty feet of garden hose in a white man’s back yard, wid a yaller cat roostin’ on de fence, it am a sign dat befo’ midnight dat hose am gwine to disappear. I hain’t sayin’ dat de yaller cat am gwine to swaller it, but de next mawnin’ it will be gone. “In addition to de above, ‘Brother Gardner’s Dream and Sign Book’ con- tains hundreds of odder dreams, signs and tokens, beginnin’ way back to de diskibery of America and comin’ down to de beginnin’ of de present tight times. A rabbit’s foot goes wid ebery sale, If you don’t have luck wid de dreams and signs, it will shorely come wid de foot—ober fifty different signs dat you am gwine to be rich befo’ de year am out; ober a hundred dreams dat must bring you luck, wid instruc- tions how to dream ’em; homemade and hand painted and jest as much to be relied on as old fashioned ‘lasses candy. “Let us now adjourn.” M.

Evidence is meagre as yet, with nothing to show definitely whether he lost his way and fell into the ex- cavation which has no guard of any kind to prevent such accidents. A police officer identifies Smith as the man who asked him toward mid- night Saturday to show him the way to Capital Square, having lost his way near the Governor’s Mansion on Blount street. He did not appear to be drunk then, although, it is said, there is ey- idence that he had been drinking heavily here for several days. The coroner will continue the in- quest several days to await the search of evidence. — A Foul Murder. Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 16.—The po- lice developments today established the fact that Dr. Elbert W.

Postmaster General Meyer has an- nounced that the deficit in the post- office department for the year end- ing June 30, 1908, is $16,910,278.99. The receipts were $191,478,633.44, and the expenditures $208,351,886.- 15. It is the biggest deficit in the history of the department. The annual normal increase in the revenue of the department is about 9 per cent., but this year it was only about 41, per cent. The falling off is ascribed to the depress- ed business conditions. As a remedy for the deficit the Postmaster General will recommend to congress in his annual report the establishment of a special parcel post to be confined to rural routes. Discussing the feasibility of this project the Raleigh Evening Times says: : “A general parcel post system is objected to by local merchants’ asso- ciations all over the country on the ground that it would promote the business of the big mail order houses of the large cities to the detriment of the local merchant.. But in Mr. Meyer’s plan, which he has sug- gested before we believe, this objec- tion is ovrcome by confining the ser- vice to the rural routes. The local merchants would thus get the bene- fit of all the trade the system might promote. And on the other hand the farmer would not have to go to town every time he wasted a little package of merchandise. Mr. Mey- er thinks such a system would tend to wipe out the-postal deficit, and make the rural routes self-sustain- ing, “besides being a convenience to the farmers and a boon to the retail country merchant.” Quoting Mr. Meyer: “There are now in operation more than 39,000 rural routes serving a population of about 8,000,000 peo- ple, and should an average of 55 pounds of merchandise be carried by the rural carrier on each trip throughout the year, it is estimated that $15,000,000 would be realized. The rate would be five cents for the first pound up to 11 pounds, the maximum weight of a package: With the exception of a small per- centage paid to postmasters of the fourth-class for increased vcancella- tions, all revenue from this parcel post would be-clear gain, as there would be no railroad transportation .o0 packages mailed by bona fide mer- chants and patrons of the rural route.s. “I teel,” says -Mr. Meyer, ‘“‘that -rom an administrative and busi- aess™view-point, it is most desirable that such legisiation: be enacted.’’ —_—_——e 1 ROBIN THRASHES A SQUIRREL. Furious Fight in Air Watched by Interest€d Crowd. Peevish, perhaps, because of the aumidity, a robin and a squirrel had a finish fight in a tree in city park, wayonne, yesterday afternoon, with a. decided victory for the bird. Scores vf persons, inclaging Park Commis- sioner Charles E. Annett and Dr. James McGreggor, gazed upward chrough the half hour the duel lasted «nd suffered with stiff necks in con- sequence. It was as furious a battle as any of them had seen in many a day, judging from the absorbed way im which they watched it. That it was far above the ground made it all the more interesting. Mr. Squirrel was trotting along a branch when, as he approached the trunk, Mr. Robin attacked him. No time was wasted on formalitiei. The bird simply sailed into the rodent bleak and claw, and for a few seconds the fury victim was one of the most astonished squirrels in the park. But Major Bushytail had as much spunk as Captain Redbreast, and he return- ed the blows of bilt and talon with in- terest, also with all four of his busy little paws. Lightning exchange of passes fol- lowed, the robin again and again plunging its beak into the squirrel, the tiny mammal biting savagely at theb ird’s breast. In a few minutes the bird’s shirt front was ruddier than usual and the animal’s_ glossy gray coat was streaked with scarlet. After thirty minutes, including no- body knows how many rounds under the combatant’s version of the Queensberry rules, Redbreast pushed Bshytail off the branch and the van- juished fighter hit the ground with a plunk. Dr. McGreggor found the squirrel had lost an eye, a piece of its nose, and its off ear. The robin plumed itself, cocked its head jaunti- y, then took a firm hold on the bough and burst into a song of triumph.— New York Press. ———_4+@>o—__—_ GOSSIP OF THE STAGE.

Football is commonly considered the rought and tough sport of husky -ladiatorial dare-devils, while base- ball is viewed as approaching much aearer to mollycoddle traditions.

Nearly all of these deaths, naturally, were among the players though new and -hen some innocent bystander be- came the victim of casuality.

Like a cloud, be dissolved into the ether, he (Itain- | eses) loomed over the Egypt that is! ‘dead; he looms over the F zypt of to- day. Everywhere you meet his traces: everywhere you hear his name You Say to a tall young Egyptian. “How | big you are growing. Hassan!” He answers, like Ram- eses the Grent.” Or you ask of the boatman who rows you, “Tlow can you pull all day against the current of the Nile?’ And he smiles, and, lifting his brown arm, he says to you, “Look; I am as strong as Rameses the Great.” This familiar fame comes down through some 3.220 years. Carved upon limestone and granite, now it seems engraven also on every Egyp- tian heart that beats not only with the movement of shadoof or is not buried fn the black soil fertilized by Hap. Thus can inordinate vanity prolong the true triumph of genius and im- press its own view of itself upon the minds of millions. This Rameses is believed to be the pharaoh who ep- pressed the children of Israel.—Pobert Hichens in Century. THE LANGUAGE FUZZLE. China’s Forty Thousand Signs and Symbols to Perplex the Linguist. The language known as Wen-li is the medium by which the classical books of China have been handed down. It is par excellence the written language of China, but it is not generally under- stood by the great mass of the péople. The spoken language—namely, Manda- rin—may also be written, and there is a good deal of colloquial literature in Mandarin. Versions of the Bible in the local patois “have also been produced in several districts of the southwest, where the dialects ae very numerous and diverse. In the Chinese written language there are over 40,000 distinct charac- ters or symbols, and this vast number is being constantly increased by the addition of new characters to repre- sent new scientific words and modern ideas. Although the Chinese are considered a literary people and have naturally a desire for education, yet owing to the extreme difficulty of mastering the Chinese characters it is estimated that only one in ten of the population can read or write.—Contemporary Review. =— Storm Talk. “Shipwreck affects people in odd ways,” said the captain, beaming brightly on the two rows of ladies at his table in the saloon. The wind roared, a great wave shook the boat, and a matron, with a low ery, received a plate of hot soup in her lap. “An Indian colonel,” the captain re- sumed, “rashed to the bathroom when his boat sprung aleak and drowned himself in the tub out of sheer terror. “There was an Anglo-Indian actor who broke a pretty girl’s leg by hurl- ing his heavy cabin trunk down into the lifeboat on her. Of course we slung the trunk overboard at once, but |. there was the broken leg, not so easy to get rid of. “Some men in a wreck proceed to get drunk. They think if they secretly drink a lot they’ll appear very game. The result is that when the rescuing party arrives these men are lying par- alyzed about the deck.”—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Still Susceptible. He was a nervous, fidgety young man, and he looked with considerable ap- prehension at the woman next him, who held a baby, its face covered with a thick veil. The baby gave now and then a sharp cry, which the woman evidently tried to suppress. ~ At last, after many anxiouseglances, the young man spoke. : “Has—has that baby any—anything contagious?” he asked. The woman looked at him with a mixture of scorn and pity. “°"Twouldn’t be for most folks,” she said in a clear, carrying tone, “but maybe ’twould for you. He’s teeth- ing.” The Adventurous Feline. “Hello! Is this the electric com- pany? Do you take cats down? Yes, cats! One is on a pole and crying just terribly. She must have been up there a week, for she’s just as thin— What? Oh, this is Fifty-pinth avenue! A big dog is barking at her, too, and she— What street? Why,I don’t know. I don’t live on this street, do 1? Ob, yes, of course! Bristol street, the druggist says. Oh, will you? You are so good! And a man just said she is playing with the transformer and might short circuit herself or something. Well, thank you very much. I am so glad! Goodby!”—Success Magazine. The Considerate Wife. “Mrs. Rogers is a-perfect slave to her husband.” “What does she do?” “Would you believe it? Every year on his birthday she gets up in time to eat breakfast with him.”’—Judzge’s Li- brary. Short Memory. “My wife,” growled Hadley, “is the most forgetful woman.” “Indeed!” litely. “Yes.

Body Was Frightfully Managled— Coroner’s Jury Found That Man Had Been Drinking—Was Em- ployed as a Cook at Gunn's Res- taurant Where he Was Well Well Thought Off. At an early hour this morning the horribly mangled remains of Henry Houston, & negro well known about the city, were discovered on the tracks of the Southern railroad near the depot. It was evident at a glance that the man had been run over by a“train of cars and it was also evident that the body had been dragged along for a considerable distance. Chief of Police Connor was noti- fied and he in turn summoned Coun- ty Coroner P. C. Carlton. That official empannelled a coro- ner’s jury which was composed of the following gentlemen: John A. | McLane, W. L. Neeley, J. A. Wise, J. O. Purnell, James A. Herbert and S. A. Tomlin. The jury visited the scene of the accident and heard the tdétimony of a number of people. After due deliberation the jury rendered _a verdict to the effect that the man had been run over and killed by freight train, No. 73 which was going west at about 3 o'clock this morning. The jury also found that the man was alone and intoxi- cated at the time he met his death. Exactly how the accident occurr- ed will probably never be known. Houston was employed as a cook at the Gunn restaurant on East Broad street. “He left there at 7 o'clock last night and was said to have been all right at that time. Later he was. seen on Center street end at the depot and-was then un- der the influence of liquor. Several witnesses told the coroner’s jury that they had -seen him early this morn- fing near where his dead body was found and that he was intoxicated at the time. It is thought by some that he had laid down on the track and gone to sleep and others believe that he was staggering down the track and in his benumbled state of mind did not notice the approaching locomotive. He was evidently killed at the Safe and Table Company crossing. He lived in Rankin town which is on the other side of the city from where he was killed. He was about 32 Tobacco Crop Is Neglected SAYS MASCOT CORRESPONDENT. Northern Section of Iredell County is One of the Best Tobacco Belts in North Carolina But Practically None of the Weed is Produced Théere—One Acre in Tobacco Will Produce More han Five in Cot- ton. The Mascot has received a@ com- munication from a well known busi- ness man that is so full of good, sound common sense that we repro- duce it in full, The letter calls the atention of the farmers of the northern section of this county to the fact that they are living in the very best tobacco belt in the state, that one acre in to- bacco will produce as much as four in_cotton. The letter follows: Editor The Mascot: We want to call the attention of the farmers of Iredell county to the importance of raising tobacco in the northern section of the county. For some years there has been practicaHy no tobacco raised in this county, cotton being the principal money crop. That section is one of the best tobacco belts in North Car- Olina and the people should £0 gack to it. It is not a cotton section. It takes five acres in cotton to realize what one acre of tobacco will bring. Cotton leaves the land in an impov- erished condition while tobacco helps the land. There is no better wheat crop to be raised than that which follows ‘tobacco. The prices have been good for years and there seems to be no fear in the future of prices going down. Consumption has increased so ma- terlally that manufacturers now have to send to the eastern part of the state for tobacco to mix with our crop. A great deal of timber has been cut, leaving much new ground that should be utilized for tobacco. Barns can be built and made ready for curing at a cost of about $30. There is every incen- tive for our county to go into this crop and we hope that our farmers will give this matter careful consid- eration and see if it is not to their interest to do it. When the county finishes (heir ) macadam roads which we hope they wil do very soon there will be good roads to the town and warehouse.

The nature of the charges which were- preferred at a meeting of the Pres- bytery several weeks ago constituted the subject for investigation by a special committee of ministers and elders of the Presbytery, which com- mission held its session Monday, and this afternoon reported to the Presbytery its findings, and the Presbytery voted to sustain the pas- tor and that his resignation should not be accepted or urged. “The interesting feature of the situation as developed today is the attitude which some of the strong- est members of the church have as- sumed, they not only disagreeing with the result of the investigation, but assuming the position of abso- lute severance of all connection with the part of the congregation stand- ing by the pastor. The outcome of this chism cannot be forecasted.” —— +4 .Capt. James M.

He will be obliged to get a proxy or move to new territory when he has exhausted his privilege in one little district. ‘ What are two elephants to a man of the president’s capacity And lions and man-eaters are not even mentioned in the above list.

Administrators of Justice Som€- times Are Unconsciously Funny. “To make the punishment fit the crime,” as Gilbert wrote, should be the aim of all those in whose hands rests the administration of justice, says a writer in Pearson’s Weekly. Law, unfortunately, Ynterferes sad- ly with the desires of just-minded people, but now and then one hears of an individual with sufficient good sense and strength of mind to decree a fit and appropriate punishment. For instance, at Geneva, two small boys were charged with steal- ing from a shop and were found guilty. : Said the magistrate: ‘‘I am not go- ing to send you to prison. I decree that you shall attend Sunday school every Sunday for the next fifty-two Sundays, and I make your parents responsible for the sentence being duly carried out.”’ At Denver, Colo., when a tipsy man is brought into the police sta- tion, he is propped up against the wall and at once photographed. Next morning when he is shown the picture, and they say it is quite sur- prising how many absolute cures have been effected by this simple proceeding. Following are a few sentences which are purely freakish: Ludwig Tesnow, the German child murderer, who was caught at Griewswald about a year ago, was tried on three counts —two for murder and one for mur- derous assault. He was sentenced to be beheaded twice and to two years’ imprisonment into the bar- gain. An Italian swindler, Lupa Salva- tore by name, was recently found guilty upon no fewer than 68 tharges,, and received a sentence of ‘hree years’? imprisonment on each. de is hardly likely to survive 189 years in an Italian prison. A railway company, the North- eastern, took an odd method of pun- ishing a passenger who refused to leave a saloon carriage when he had only an ordinary third-class ticket. They took the carriage off, backed it into a siding and left it ther: The passenger sued for damages for loss of time, but, though he fail2d to re- cover, the judge refused to give the company costs. He said they should kave locked the carriage if it was to be reserved. 4 punishment which got the per- petretor into serious troutle con- cerned a boy of twelve and a pot of green paint. The boy, who ran er- rands fer a Battersea grocer. did sometaing which annoyed his em- vloyer, who stripped him and pair.ted him green. The boy nearly died. and the grocer was very heavily fined. ——_++@>e——_—_ WHIMS IN WILLS. Curious Desires Have Actuated Many Testators. The dryness of the law is some- times alleviated by the freaks and whims that appear in wills. Some persons have used their wills as @ means of paying off old scores. In 1770 Stephen Swaim of the par- ish of St. Olaves, London, left ‘‘John Abbott and Mary, his wife, 6 shill- ings each for a halter for fear the sheriff should not be provided.” In 1793 Philip Thickness willed that his right hand be cut off and sent to his son “in hopes that such a sight might remind him of his ‘duty to God after having so long neglect- 2d the duty he owed to a father who once affectionately loved him.” Lieutenant Colonel Nash got even with his wife by leaving the bell ringers of Bath abbey $50 a year on condition that they muffle the bells of said abbey on the anniversary of his marriage and ring them with “doleful accentuation from 8 a. m. to 8 p. m.” and on the anniversary of his death to ring a merry peal for the same space “in memory of his happy release from domestic tyranny and wretchedness.” Jasper Mayne, who died in 1620, must have been a person of humor he left his servant an old valise, stat ing that it contained something that would enable him to drink. When the vatlse was opened it was found to contain only a red herring. Occasionally a testator exhibité an original idea as to the disposition of his body. Sieur Benoft,. whoe will was probated in Paris in 1377, ordered that he be burried in his old trunk to save the expense of a coffin. He added that he was at- tached to the trunk, it having gone around the world with him three times.—New York Post. - | BEST CATARRH DOCTOR.

His bride was accorded special per- mission to go into the bomb proofs of the fort, where in comparative safety she could be near her husband. There she saw him operating his enormous gun, but her heart was torn with fear for his safety. Suddenly she became excited by the nolse of firing and, rush- ing out from her place of safety, was ‘Struck by. a piece of shel] and fell back lifeless. Dubreuil ran to her side. saw death in her face and went back brave- ly to his gun. The next morning was beautiful, and the sun shone gloriously. There was cessation of hostilities that the dead might be buried. Thus engaged, a re- quest came from the enemy to allow the body of a young lady to pass through our lines. It was granted. The little cortege came, preceded by a military band playing a mournful dirge, and halted at the outpost. The old musket box used as a bier was ac- companied by two ladies and several officers. One of the latter, a handsome young fellow with long hair, walked calmly and slowly, but his face be- trayed the greatest grief. A detail of Confederate privates acted as pallbear- ers. Our men uncovered their heads. All were blindfolded and led through our lines to the steamboat. They bade a last adieu to the dead bride and re- turned blindfolded. It was the saddest sight I ever saw.— G. N. Saussy in Spare Moments. ASLEEP UNDER WATER. One of the Funny Incidents Possible In a Diver's Life. As showing how much at home a man may be today under water I may relate an amusing story. Some months ago while a great battleship was at Malta one of the seamen divers went down to clear her propeller from some flotsain that had become entangled, and he failed to come up. It chanced that the rest of the battleship’s divers were ashore, and grave concern was felt on the ironclad for the missing worker. Signals by telephone and life line were sent below without avail. In the launch above the throb-throb of the air pump’s cylinders went on,* but the attendants looked at one another in dismay, fearing some strange trag- edy deep down in those heaving green seas. The worst was feared when some big brushes and other tools came float- ing to the surface, and thereupon the navigating lieutenant sent ashore an urgent message for one of the other divers. The man came on board, dressed immediately and went below, only to come up full of indignation. “Why, that fellow’s been asleep all this time!” he said wrathfully. It was true. The man had just had his lunch, and, finding the work much less serious than he had thought, he finished it in a few minutes and then sat comfort- ably on one of the giant blades of the | battleship. propeller and: went to sleep with inquisitive fishes swarming around him, attracted by the dazzling searchlight on his breast. The officers Were so amused at the occurrence that no punishment was inflicted on the lazy one.—St. Nicholas, The Kind of Boy He Was. how to wrest victory from defeat ana make stepping.stones of stumbling blocks is shown by the following story told of him by a friend: When a boy young Field. went to a great merchant and asked, “Do you want a boy?” “Nobody wants a boy,” replied the merehant. “Do you need a boy?’ the boy persisted, not at all abashed. “Nobody needs a boy,” was the reply. But he would not give up. “Well, say, mister, do you have to have a boy?” “I think likely we do,” re- plied the merchant, “and I rather think we will have to have.a boy just like you.” = Some Few Escaped. “Oh, John,” whimpered the wife as she seized the morning paper, “see what that editor has done with the ac- eount of our musicale! He has placed it alongside the column of death no- tices. It's a shame.

Because Poverty and Hard Times and Lack of Work Had Brought Them to Starvation—Wife Was at One Time a Woman of Some Means. Frankford, Ky., Nov. 18—Hard times and lack of work had so reduced the family of John Lid- ner, whose home is on Hamil- tun street, Brooklyn, that his wife Agnes, aged 27,murdered her two children, George, axed 5 and Clara, aged 3<by cntting their throats, and then commited su- cide by cutting her throat- The tragedy occurred in Thorn- hill’ a-suburb of Frankfort, and the site of the glass factory. in which Linder was ersployed.

Graves, of Santonsburg, ‘Has Just Had Built a Working Model That Will be of Great Bene- fit to Farmers. - Wilson, Nov. 17.—Dr. J. T. Graves of near Santonsburg, as an inventor, is great. Just after the Civil War, he invented-a cotton planter which as soon as it was placed on the mar- ket, jumped into popular favor with farmers, in all of the cotton raising Statey They ‘were manpfgqtured. fiere by Farmer & Wainright and were shipped away by the carload which brought into the coffers of the doctor much revenue. The doctor’s last invention is a cotton. stalk chopper, for which he has applied for a patent. It is one of the most useful of all farming implements and it may be con- verted from a chopper into a cart, by removing the steel blades and putting on a pair of wheels, which make sit a light but rigid cart which may be used around the farm for all purposes to which a cart is put. Witb it in one day, with one mule, twenty acres of stalks may be chopped. _ A stock company will soon be formed when the choppers will be manufactured in Wilson and put on sale in the different cotton growing states. —_ eo PLENTY OF GOLD. Discoveries That Promise to Add More Wealth and Help the Return of Prosperity. The recent rich gold discovery near Onville in this county, con- tinues to increase in value. Mr. C. A. Armstrong has _ re-bonded the property to Capt. Jones, who has been doing some development work on it and the vein increased in width and vaiue in depth at 12 feet deep, the -gold in the ore can be plainly seen with the naked eye and the es- timated value of the ore is about $5,000 per ton. This discovery promises to be the most valuable ever struck in this county, and it is treating considerable excitement. Thomasville correspondence to the . Lexington Dispatch: “Capt. M. L. Jones sent a bar of gold to the Unit- ed States mint at Charlotte last week, valued at $4,200. This is the result of 15 days’ work with 20 hands. The Iola mine during the past five years has produced 1,700 pounds of pure gold and for which $315,000 has been received.

In Nashville in Which Editors Were Principals. Few tragedies that have ever oc- curred in Nashville created the wide- spread excitement aroused by that of Monday. Political excitement in Tennessee, of which it might be call- ed the concluding chapter, has sel- dom been so intense, and in the list of bloody encounters seldom have the parties been of such promi- aence. The first clash between a Nashville editor and parties politic- ally at variance with him, so far as there is any record in The American Office, occurred Jan. 11, 1841, in the bar-room of the old Nashville Inn, the parties being Jeremiah George Harris and the Fosters, Rob- ert C. and William L., of the famous Tennessee family, the former being seriously wounded in the breast and arm. Political feeling was intense at the time. It was about the time when the “Immortal Thirteen’? Dem- ocrats in the Legislature prevented the election of United States Sena- tors. Harris was the editor of the Union and is remembered as one of the most virile Democratic editors that Tennessee ever knew. Harris six months after the Fosters were acquitted. The next editorial fight was be- tween two editors, John L. Marlin, for the Union and Felix K. Zollicoi- fer, of the Banner, on Aug. 20, 1852. Chis is sometimes classed as a pri vate duel. In the course of the af- fray Masia was hadly wounded, but lived to hold an important charge under the Federal Government and to become reconciled with Zolicof- fer, who was killed in the battle of Fishing Creek during the Civil War. In 1859 came the next clash, the participants being Allen A. Hall, then editor of the News, a veteran at the time in Tennessee journalism, and George T. Pondexter, associate ‘editor with Elbridge Eastman, of the famous old Union and American. The meeting occurred on one oj! Nashville’s principal streets, H#@Jl using a snotgun and killing Poin- dexter. The lattess dcath weighed :0 heavily upsn Col. Fastman that within a scent month the widely known journalist followed his lieu- tenant to the grave. Poindexter was killed Oct. 27, 1859. Col East- man died Nov. 23. The last tragedy in which %hdq newspapers played a part was the much more recent Banks-Littleton killing, occurring in 1887. Editor John L. Littleton, brother of Martin W. and Jesse Littleton, was fatally wounded on Dec. 24, 1887, by Jos- eph R. Banks on High Street, near the Watkins Institute, dying Dec. 28. Banks was acquitted April 8, 1892. -——__++@-o—_ ——_ Odd Items From Everywhere. Alexander Millne, a harnegs maker of Claremont, N. H., claims to have in his shop the oldest saddle in New England.

No. 368 Speaks Without shoes or Hat UNUSUAL SCENE AT HIGH POINT. Stantily Clad Street Preacher Deliv- ers His Message to High Point—Is on His Way to Birminghan, Ala. e High Point, Nov. 18.—Early yes- terday morning there was an unusual scene on Main street. » A man bareheaded and barefooted stood at the corner of Main and Washington streets preaching. While other people stood around shivering in their wraps and overcoats he did not seem to mind the weather. He said he was delivering a special message. The Lord had told him to go barefooted into Birmingham, Ala., by next April, preaching the word all the way. The “preacher’’ was not giving any word of warning specially, but the point he was trying to make was that baptism came before con- version. He talked fluently and held the attention of the people while he talked. The writer had a brief inter- yiew with the man after he quit and he said that he was only delivering his message; said he had no home, his parents lived at Ontario, Can- ada, but but he was a wanderer. He passed on down the street barefooted with his shoes under his arm. ————~+@r-e—_ ——_ FIRE LAST NIGHT. Prompt Work by Fire Department Saves a Number of Buildings—Mr. John Turner’s Barn is a Complete Loss. At about 6:30 o’clock last night the fire department was called to the home of Mr. John Turner on Front street where that gentleman’s barn was in flames. - f Before the department arrived the flames had gained a good headway, in fact the structure was 2 mass of flames and about all that could be done was to save the surrounding buildings. Several times these caught fro. the flying sparks but the flames were soon extinguished. A small barn lo- cated near that of Mr. Turner caught fire several timés and on one occasion the flames made Considerable head- way before they were subdued. Mr. Turner’s barn was comparative ly new and it cost him about $500. Only a short time before the fire was discovered he had taken his horse out of the barn and hitched it to a buggy, Mr. Turner was sitting in the vehicle in front of his residence when inform- ed that his barn was on fire. The flames had then made considerable headway. There was $300 insurance, carried with the Statesville Realty and In- vestment Company. A small quanti- ty of feed, hay and grain, was burned. The origin of the fire is unknown. —_—_<eore——— DECLARED A DIVIDEND.

Plot to Kill the Kaiser DYNAMITE FOUND ON TRACKS. - Police Believe That an Attempt Was Made by Anarchists Who Are Eag- er to Take Advantage of the Popu- lar Feeling Against the Emperor. Berlin, Nov. 19.—All Berlin is stirred over @ report from Frankfort- on-the-Main yesterday that an at- tempt to kill the kaiser was planned while the emperor’s special train was en route from Donaueschingen to Berlin for his conference with Chan- cellor Van Buelow. A prominent officer of the Royal Administrative railway announces that both on Sunday and Monday a dynamite cartridge, powerful enough to have blown the kaiser’s train to pieces, was found carefully placed on the tracks between Frankfort and Helm. It is pointed out that in view of the postponement of the kaiser’s trip from Sunday to Tuesday the find- ing of the two cartridges is signifi- cant. The secret police of the empire are active and developments are likely within a few days. The police believe that an attempt was made by anarchists, who are eager to take advantage of the popu- lar feeling against the emperor which was intensified by his repeated delays in replying to the ‘suggestions’ of Chancellor Von Buelow who, in this case, was the mouthpiece of the Reichstag. The imperial ‘‘note,’”’ . which was printed ig, the official gazette yester- day, following the kaiser’s conference with the chancellor, has not greatly relieved the tension. That the kaiser has yielded in spirit and accepted the rebuke of the Reichstag is not enough The people at large looked for a more decided declaration of his intention to cease “personally conducting” the foreign affairs of the empire—a final pledge that the day of absolutism is absolutely dead. The feeling in the financial world is an indication that the people do not regard the incident as closed. Trad- ing on the Bourse showed no material improvement as a result of the kai- ser’s message. The operations were conducted with the same timidity that has marked the Bourse since the del- icate situation developed. The an- nouncement that Von-Buelow would be retained accounts for what little steadying there was. ——_-4<(< ao NORTHERN CONFERENCE. Lutheran Synod is Now in Session at Bethel Church With Rev. W. A.

Mr. Crawford-Frost’s Machine Don’t Like The Idea of Being| Anchored in Back Yard—Preach- er Says Evolution Proves His Idea About a Safe Descent. Baltimore, Nov. 18.—The airship which Rev. W. A. Crawford-Frost, cector of the Chapel of the Redemp- tien, has kept tied down in his back yard at Walbrook, like a prisoner de- cided to take a flight without its Owner’s consent in the windstorm late the other night. Not only did the ship soar into celestial space, but it smashed a shut- ter off the rear of the cergyman’s house and broke the propeller shaft. On Tuesday workmen had been en- gaged in the back yard. To reach a spot on the ground on which the air- ship rested they released the ma- chine from bondage and removed it to another site. After they had fin- ished their work they did not secure the airship and _ forgot to place it where they had found it. When Mr. Crawford-Frost went out in the yard at night to make an inspection before retiring he too neglected the fastenings. He walk- ed around the machine, decided that all was well, went in the house and retired. Then the gentle zephyrs began to blow stronger and stronger. The wind began to whistle through the trees. and Mr. Crawford-Frost little thinking that his airship was con- spiring a treason, turned and went to sleep. The airship, which rests on wheels, began to roll playfully from one fence of the yard to the other. At length the saucy ship determined to make its initial trip into the pair, unknown to its owner. The strong puff of wind for which it is supposed the airship had been longing came at last, and the ma- chine attempted to fly. The first ef- fort was unsuccessful as it came into violent contact with an old apple tree in the yard. Other supposed attempts at flight were equally fail- ures. The airship was not to be foiled. A strong puff of wind came along and; as gracefully as a bird, the airship soared into the clouds and gave a few twists of scorn to- ward the peaceful rectory. A neighbor of Mr. Crawford-Frost chanced to see the unscheduled per- formance and shouted, ‘‘There goes the airship!’’ But the airship heed- ad not the alarm.. “‘Am I awake or asleep thought the neighbor, as he saw the invention leaving home for z1erial quarters. While he was thus meditating and ecraning his neck and _ peering into the sky to view the disappearing 2irship he was startled when the car turned and bore down toward its quarters. Suddenly out of the night it crashed into the back porch and a shutter fell off with a bang. Win- dow panes were annihilated in the maneuverings. The airship discov- ered that it could not fly without a guide, so it fell, rather disgracefully, to the ground topsyturvy. In this undignified position it remained until morning, when the owner made a survey of the damage. The airship landed about 50 feet from its start- ing point. The damage to the house was slight. A shutter and a part of the window sill were torn off, while sev- eral windows were smashed. A steel shaft, from which the propeller, was suspended, was severed. Other- wise the airship was undamaged. “This unarranged flight proves that my machine will not fall down heavily when the power is turned off.” commented the owner. “This preliminary trial has proved that my theories are true. The average ma- chine would have fallen heavily and been smashed.” In a few days the motor will be installed and the shaft repaired. The second, or authorized flight will pro- bably be attempted toward the end of the week. +b Mr. Gilbert at the Key. During the absence from the city for a couple of days of Manager C. J.

Chicago, Nov. 19.—The son of a Pittsburg millionaire and a girl known in the south for her beauty eloped from the Pennsylvania city were married in Dixie-land and came to Chicago Tuesday to break the news to the young man’s parents over the long distance telephone. This they did, and, after receiving the parental blessing, the husband, William B. Scaife, son of C. C€. Scaife, was told by his mother to “bring Sallieé home.’’ Sallie is the former Miss Sallie Hill, of Bolivar, Tenn, The telephoning was done from the Auditorium Annex, where the couple registered in the morning. Mr. and Mrs. Scaife spent the day } seeing the sights of the city and after dinner went to the theatre. They scarcely had got settled in their room when Mr. Scaife was sum- moned to the door by a group of newspaper men. He was surprised, but smilingly replied: “You'll have to excuse me for 1! have nothing to say.” After he had given the same reply to several questions he was asked if he didn’t care to see the telegrams from Pittsburg concerning his mar- riage and he replied, ‘‘No.’’ *““Will you give us a picture of your wife?”’ came next. It brought Mrs. Scaife runing for- ward with the expression ‘‘No, no.”’ “Is it true that your wife was a zhorus girl?’”’ was ventured, but the jvestion was answered with a slam of the door. The couple showed vexa- tion. ; The marriage is an alliance of Pittsburg millions with one of the ‘old families” of the south, for Miss dill, of Tennessee, is the youngest daughter of Colonel Jerome Hill. ———__<-+ -o—_- TWENTY-NINE DEEDS. Big Job for the Ré€gister of Deeds Oftice is Furnished by Myers Broth- ers—Some of the Documents are Fifteen Years Old. Deputy Register of Deeds Armfield is a busy man these days. It was on last Monday that Mr. L. L. Myers of New Hope _ township: brought to the office twenty-nine deeds and mortgages to be recorded. This is the largest number of doc-- uments to be filed at a single time by a private party since Mr. Williams has been in office. They represent the transactions of Mr. Myers and his brother, R. M. Myers, in real estate in New Hope and Union Grove townships and some of them are Id years old. In this connection it will be of in- terest to know tthat Mr. Williams’ office has been otherwise unusually |? busy during the past _two weeks. Many deeds are being brought there for registration, which fact shows that there is “something” doing in real estate and that business must be “picking up.” ———--4-e When Mr. Cowles Begins. It has been asked at this office and over the ’phone when Mr. Cowles’ term as congressman begins. His term begins March 4th, 1909, at which time he is supposed to take the oath,, and the term ends March 4th, 1911. He _ will not sit in con- gress as a member until the Decem- ber session of 1909, unless a special session is convened between the 4th of March and that time. He will not be a member of the session which convenes this next December. It is seen by this that a congress- man is elected over a year before he has a chance to speil spout or legis- late for the ‘dear peepul.’’ ———_2-<- —— Bought Big Lot of Shoes. Mr. R. M.

Bracken Claims That $40,000 is Due Him on Con- tract for His Part in the Affair, s# New York, Nov. 19.—Edward M. Bracken, the confidential agent of the Dodge-Morse divorce tangle, has turned up in the nest of lawyers for- merly handling the private affairs of Charles W. Morse. Mr. Bracken promises to lift the lid from the whole scandal for he has brought two suits in the supreme court of New York—one against Mr. Morse for $40,000, balance alleged to be due under a contract entered into with the “ice king,” some time in 1908, and one against Judge Edward P. Coyne, 25 Broad street, for $4,000, claimed as balance due from a sum of $7,000 said to have been deposited with the lawyer to be paid over when a certain work had been concluded. A. Edward Woodruty of No. 165 Broadwuy, has been retained by Mr. Bracken to prosecute both suits. The action egainst Morse is on the calen- dar, whole Gifford,-Hobbs, and Beard, counsel for Morse, have asked for a vill of particulars in the Morse suit which Bracken must furnish within LO days. Sfere is the backbone of Bracken’s illegations against Morse: 1. That in 1903 Morse and his present wife entered into an arrange- ment for a divorce, and that Mrs. Morse went to live in Sioux Falls, N. D., where she engaged a firm of law- pee and prepared to established a legal residence. 2. That Morse used the assumed name of Wyman, which is his mid- dle name—Charles Wyman Morse— in all his transactions with Abraham Hummell. 3. That Morse, upon learning that the woman he intended to marry subsequent to the divorce from his wife, would not marry a divorced man, recalled Mrs. Morse and made plans for the annulment of his mar- riage. : 4. That Morse personally called up Hummell on the telephone, complain- ing of the delay in serving Mrs. Morse with the summons and complaint in the now celebrated annulment suit. 5: That when Bracken and a wit- ness, reached the Morse residence, at No. 728 Fifth avenue, in October, 1903, Morse had his head out of an upper window watching for his com, ing and that the door was promptTy opened and Mis. MoMrse was then served. 6. That. a fraction of the money used by Morse in keeping himself out of prison, along with Hummell, and to carry through the scheme, is rep- resented in a loan of $104,000 made by the National Bank of North Amer- ica at his direction to Captain (Uncle Jim) Morse, which has never been paid. 7. That “Abe” Hummell is now living in Europe upon a substantial income from a fund placed to his credit by his former wealthy client, “Mr. Wyman’’—the client. preferring to pension a man whose inclinations under any other sort of arrangement might be to return for more. —— RO OC Stewards of Statesville Circuit. The stewarts of the Statesville Methodist circuit held a meeting Tuesday afternoon in the office of Squire T. J. Conger in the rear of the court house and transacted such bus- iness as was necessary to the closing up of the year’s work and sending the annual report to the conference at Asheville. All of the six churches comprising the circuit, were represented. The accounts were audited and the finan- cial affairs of the organization were found to ke in splendid shape. All bills, including the ‘pastor’s salary, have been paid and the report, that was sent to conference was a most flatering one. i —_— Three Loads of Hunting Dogs.

Wins a Gir in Dice Game WAS EMPLOYED AT CIGAR STAND Millionaire Manufacturer Will Proba- bly Marry the Pretty Clerk Who Sold Him Perfectoes—He is a Man- ufacturer of Automobiles and Lives in Chicago. ow Detroit, Mich. | Noy., 19.—A ro- mance following a dice game has tak- en Miss Elizabeth Nichols away from the Hotel Tuller, where she was em- ployed at the cigar stand, and at- taches of~the hotel expect any mo- ‘ment to receive word from the wo- man, who has gone to her home in Green Bay, Wis., that she is married to George L. Fish, a wealthy Califor- nian, who met Miss Nichols at the hostelry. Fish first met Miss Nichols about three months ago. Being a manu- facturer of automobile accessories and having his main offices in Chica- go, he came to Detroit to establish a branch office. One morning while waiting to fill an appointment Fish sauntered over to the cigar counter. Picking up a dice box he rattled the cubes, and laughingly declared to Miss Nichols that he could beat her for the cigars. The young woman took up the wager and the game was on. Miss Nichols won. Then they shook another game and still another.~ After that day Fish bought his cigars at this one place, always shaking the dice with Miss Nichols and nearly always los- ing. Fish is reputed to be well known among automobile and = accessories manufacturers. —~++2-e—__—_. WANTED MR. PARKER TO COACH. ——e Effort Was Made to Obtain the Ser- vices of a Statesville Man to Assist in Getting University of North Car- olina Football Team in Trim for Next Week’s Game, Although his modesty prevented him from making the fact public it has become known that last week a most determined effort was made on the part of the athletic authorities of the University of North Carolina to obtain the services of Mr. John A. Parker of this city as a coach for the football team that is to play in Rich- mond, Va., Thanksgiving day. When seen this morning Mr. Park- er admitted that this was true. It seems that for some time it has been the custom of several of the colleges to look among their alumni for suit- able men to act as coaches and look after the athletics of the institutions. During his course at Chapel Hill Mr. Parker not only played on the football team but was a skillful play- er and prominent among his fellow students. Mr. Parker was naturally highly flattered by the invitaion and regret- ted very much that his business would not permit of his going away from the city for the length of time required to assist in putting the fin- ishing touches on the team, before its journey to Virginia next week. A number from here, among them Mr. Parker, are now arranging to be present at the game, —_——<@re——_.. Runaway Yesterday.

As a Southéri man; he “understands the ‘ danger of thé hip pocket. ‘It is al- most impossible for a Southern man ~ .to go around with an empty one. He feels perhaps that he could not re- sist the tmptation to fill his full of “‘shooting jirons,’’ or possibly he is seeking to set a fashion in his sec- tion of the country. “He has his trousers built without pockets, eith- er hip or side. He can’t carry con- cealed weapons because he kas no place to conceal them. He is cer. tain not to commit murder for iW goes around without the necessary implements. “Tt ‘if extremely interesting to see the Governor of a Southern state lift his coat-tails and disclose the important sociological and political fact that he has no pockets in his trousers. Although he has under- taken to send the whole Reelfoot Lake tribe of bandits to the peniten- tiary, except those who will go to the gallows, he has not had pockets added to his lower garments and still proceeds with his business and his pleasure without a ‘‘gun’’. “Trousers themselves represent the advance of democracy. Cover- ing the entire leg, they render it im- a to distinguish a “silk stock- ing® on sight. They came in with the gullotine and other leveling de- vices of the French Revolution. Without pockets they are capable of symbolizing a further advance of humanity, progress from the plane of private vengeance to that of legal protection and punishment by the state. eee “If the Southern States, which are wearying of duels and assassinations and vendettas, would enact laws im- posing heavy penalties upon the ad- dition of pockets to trousers and would appoint Inspectors of Tailor- ‘|shops to see that the law was obey- ed, much would be done to discour- age the carrying of arms. Texas attempts to do this by a heavy tax, but the absolute prohibition of pock- ets in trousers would be very much more effective. ——_-—_-3- +> - SAYINGS OF MRS. SOLOMON. Being the Confessions of the 7th Hundreth Wife. Translated by Helen Rowland. Lo! Wondrous are the ways of a man with a maid. His love is a thing which riseth and falleth as the. stock market; yea, like a football that goeh up, it cometh down with a dull and sicken- ing thud. For when a man first meeteth a girl she looketh good to him. More- over, she is different from _ the last girl and affordeth a-~ pleasant change. He*adoreth her from afar and indulgeth in foolish pipe dreams. He investeth in new neckties and groweth fussy about his collars. He calleth at first timidly; he getteth on the good side of the fam- ily. He'bringeth expensive flowers and sweets from Huyler’s. He read- eth the Rubaiyat unto her and invit- ed her to meet his sister. And, behold, there cometh a day when he kisseth her ' suddenly and witRout warning. And another when he kisseth her again—easily. And another when he kisseth her much and often. And another when he kisseth her more casually. And another when he calleth, but leaveth at halfpast nine and kisseth her but once—good night. And another when he faileth to call. i Then, peradventure, she writeth him a letter—which he putteth in his pocket and forgetteth to answer. She summoneth him over the tele- phone and he goeth into the booth wearily. She reproacheth and re- vileth him. He picketh a quarrel. She sobbeth ‘‘All is over between us!” and he answereth, “Oh, very well!” and goeth forth to get a drink, rejoicing. And in time he meeteth another girl and doeth itall ‘over again. Yea, the self-same program he-carry- eth out unto the last letter; yet he never tireth. For lo! though a man hath eaten his fill at one meal, why shall he lack appetite for the next? Verily, the flirtations of his bach- elor days are, in passing, but as the courses of the love feast; but the wife is the black coffee which settleth him. Selar! CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

He Causes a Stir in the Buncombe Court When He Made the An- nouncement That He had Received a Letter—Then Summons the Chief of Police to Appear in Court— Wholesale Liquor Raids Expected. Asheville, Nov. 20.—Judge Ward created something of a stir in the su- perior court yesterday afternoon shortly before adjournment when he announced from the bench that he had received through the mails a threatening anonymous communica- tion, and directing that the chief of police of the city be notified to ap- pear in court with his police officers for such instructions as_ the court shall give. . Judge Ward declared that the threatening communication would not deter him from his purpose to put a stop to lawlessness in Asheville and break up “blind tigers’’—in fact, | the court declared that it made him all the more determined, and intimat- ed that those appearing before him charged with the illicit selling of whiskey and convicted would fare badly. 3 The threatening letter was receiv- ed by Judge Ward after a two days’ trial of three men, Black, Doan and Watson, charged with maintaining a nuisance in the conduct of a soft drink establishment, ending with the conviction of the trio and the sen- tencing of each to two years on the county roads; but it is not believed the letter has any connection with the case. Just what the court will have to say to the city police force is not made known. It is intimated, how- ever that he intends giving them in- structions to make a concerted and systematic raid on places where it has been rumored liquor is sold. -——_—_-<+<>- Bazaar and Baby Show, As The Masvcot goes to press this afternoon a bazaar is being given at the court house by the Ladies’ Aid Society of the Race Street Methodist church.

One Bullet Fired by the Burglars Whistled Within a Foot the Rich Man’s Wife—Duel Was Fought in a Dark Hallway and Some of the Shots Were Fired Through a Key Hole. Philadelphia, Nov. 19.—Ina re- volver duel with burglars who inva- ded his residence, 224 West Tulpe- hocken street, Germantown, at 2 o’clock yesterday morning, Edward J. Moore, senior member of the bank- ing firm of E. J. Moore & Co., drove off the intruders after a fusillade, in which the lives of himself and Mrs. Moore were constantly imperiled. One bullet fired by the burglars whis- tled within a foot of the banker’s wife and clipped a bit of brass from the bed in which she lay, before it found lodgment in the wall beside her head. Mr, Moore himself was in danger, as the duel was fought in a dark hall- way, and some of the shots were fired through the keyhole of Mr. Moore’s bedroom door. Paintings on the walls and stairway were punctured by the missles. To addto Mr. Moore’s discomfort the thieves first cut the telephone wires leading to his property, and the first assistance reached him from neighbors, who heard the shots and summoned police from the station house, some three blocks away. Two black masks, two jimmies and two flash torches were left by the fleeing burglars. On the other hand, they made off with two overcoats which they caught from the hall- rack as they scurried past. Marks of the jimmy on the front door showed the thieves’ manner of entrance and toe prints in the snow show that their escape was made in the direction of Greene street. Others houses in the vicinity of the Moore home was attacked and the special policemen of the Germantown station are at their wit’s end at the daring of the marauders, who appar- ently fixed upon the early hours of the morning for a wholesale invasion of the neighborhood which is the heart of the aristocratic ‘““West Side”’ residential section. Several dwellings on Walnut lane, Greene street and adjacent thorough- fares show unmistakable evidence of ( visitation from night prowlers. em OEP a ed- A Prompt Settlement. Statesville N.

Had Quarrelled Over an Inherit- ance—One Dead and the Other May Die. Pittsburg, November 19.—Reuben Crown, of New York, until recently a follower of Eastern racetracks is dead at the Allegheny county mor- gue. His brother, Joseph Crown, an attorney, is in the Homeopathic hos- pital with a bullet in his body, the re- sult of a quarrel in the office of the lawyer in the Bakewell building at 5 p. m. today. Reuben Crown came. here from New York three months ago, it is said, to have a settlement over some pro- perty with his brother, who is an at- torney. He had been in constant communication with his brother dur- ing his visit here. Yesterday afternoon he went to Attorney Crown’s office and demand- ed money. Joseph Crown said he had none. In an instant Reuben Crown had drawn a revolver and shot his brother he then turned the gun against his head and put a bullet al- most through his brain, The two brothers were taken in the same ambulance to the Homeopa- thic Hospital and 1aid in bed side by side. Reuben died about 6:15 o’clock. He did not regain con- sciousness. Joseph Crown rallied and was able to talk to Deputy Coroner Dempsy, who called on him for a statement. Joseph Crown said: “My brother called on me at my office and demanded money. I told him I did not have any. Without another word he shot me, then shot™ himself.’ ? -With this the wounded over on his side exhausted. The brothers inherited an equity in a valuable piece of property in this city a number of years ago. Joseph applied himself to business and adopted a profession. Reuben sought the pleasures of fife and borrowed upon the property from time to time until three years ago, when, accord- ing to the deposition made by Joseph but little of his interest in the proper- ty remained. Joseph bought that in- terest, he says, and since then Reu- ben has been seeking loans for which he had no security to offer, until he man fell Other tenants in the Bakewell building heard Joseph refuse the loan and order his brother to leave the office, Reuben left but soon re- turned and, according to Joseph, said: “I am here to kill you.’’ He tried to lock the door and just as Joseph attempted to leave the room fired a shot into his breast. Joseph staggered into the hall where Reu- inflicting only a flesh wound. A moment later another shot was heard and, upon investigation, Reu- ben was found prostrate on the floor of Joseph’s office, a bullet having been fired into his temple. Joseph is married and is the father of several children. - ——_~+ > Mr. Pressly at Huntersville. Rev. J. H. Pressly is at Hunters- ville where he is assisting Rev. M. Bingham in a protracted meeting.

Commuting had become such a fad in New Jersey that even the cats have started to do it. One travels between the Lackawanna station, at Montclair, and the station in Hobo- ken everyday, and the other cats have been seen in the neighborhood of the tracks looking wistfully at the trains. : The animal which has become a “regular” in passenger trains on the Montclair branch of the Lackawan- na’s Morris and Essex division is a maltese. No one knows wh oowns it nor what its object is in making daily trips to Hoboken. Suggestions is made here that perhaps there is Maria cat in Hoboken which has cast a spell over the Montclair cat, or that in the McAdoo tunnel are the attrac- tions. Whatever it is, the maltese usually leaves here in a train be- tween 8:30 and 9 o’clock, and returns home in another train before 7 in the evening. There are times when it reaches the station about daylight and boards an early train. Why the schedule is changed no one can ex- plain, and the cat is wholly uncom- municative. Fine Stockbrokers and other commuters have become interested in the animal and the trainmen make a pet of it. It never tries to get into the train until the cars have stopped, nor to get off a train in motion. Trainmen say it never has been carried by its station, and that in that respect it isTiore in- telligent than many of the two legged commuters. i —_———_44@ >. MR. J. H. YOUNG DROPS DEAD.

The union is planned to dispose of tobacco through a central selling agency, and devise plans for the various ‘societies to work har- moniously together.’ _ If the union is made permanent it will result in one of the largest or- ganization of farmers producing a single commodity ever known, and ferent organizations fighing among themselves the largest part of the to- bacco industry.

Harper’s Weekly. One of the oddest uses to which pa- per has been put is that which has resulted in the manufacture in Ger- many of artificial teeth. These paper teeth are manufactured from the same variety of pulp which enters so largely into the composition of many novelties in the paper line. Paper teeth are said to ar perd satis- faction, not. only retaining their color well, but being less likely to chip than ordinary false teeth. Another odd use to which paper is put nowadays is in the manufac- ture of barrels. This idea originat- ed in Greece, where the wine grow- ers, being badly off for wood with which to construct their casks on ac- count of the excessive cost of its im- portation, hit upon the expedient of using paper in making of their bar- rels. Out of the sheets of a train daily paper an ingenious engineer not long ago constructed for his own use a small yacht, 20 feet long, decked all over and provided with centerboard. In the construction of the hull, deck, masts, sails, and rudder. several thousand copies of the journal were used. Each plank employed requir- ed no fewer than 2,500 leaves, and enormous pressure was necessary to procure the necessary solidty for the material. The vessel is said to have behaved admirably in all tests, even those made during bad weather. In several countries the experiment is being made with a view to the utilization of paper for paving the roads and streets. In this case also blocks compressed to great solidity are desirable, and are claimed to withstand the wear and tear of office The cost, however, of this scheme, is at present too great to permit of anything like a wide adoption of it. For driveways to prifate houses and similar purposes, where expensgs aeed not be of primary consideration, paper pavements, it is claimed, will come into vogue at no distant day. aoetbheoHMMim h5dnafiBtMtp pp pp CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the san, Qo pltin ——~+<+@>-e—____ Numbering the Presidents. Springfield Republican. Will William H. Taft be the twen- ty sixth or twenty-seventh president of the United States? is a question interesting to some idle minds, as it has every time a new president has been elected since the administration of Benjamin Harrison. Cleveland at his first election was the twenty-sec- ond president. We all agreed as to this. Was he the twenty-fourth pres- ident on his second election, after an interval of one term? If so, then Mr. Taft will be the twenty-seventh pres- dent; if not, then he will be the twenty-sixth. But if George Wash- ington was the first president, even through his second term, why should Mr. Cleveland be the twenty-fourth president in this second term when he was the twenty-second president in his first term? Let the idle ones pass on to some other equally harm- less post election subject. Mr. Taft will be the twenty-sixth president. —- —+<+@>-—__ Matrimonial Item. There is so much marrying of nurs- es these days; not particularly the woman who has carried some man through a long dreary valley of sick- ness, but the professional hurse, who makes a business to take care of the sick. The papers are full of items of this sort. The fact suggests a little speculation. In the first place, the nurse, as a general rule, is a good, sensible, modest, wholesome looking creature. When a person attends to a business that enlists the heart, its sympathies and kindly emotions, that very vocation shows itself in the tone, the conduct, the very appear- ance of the individual.

An impatient public may now wrap the drapery of its couch about it, sustained and soothed in the knowledge that the whole distressing business of the fashions for dogs for the season of 1908-1908 has been settled. It is just off the press. The styles for dogs’ clothes are fixed in Paris, the home of La Vogue. The city designs and defines and com- mands, and worse still, names the prices. What more natural than a man dress-architect should also work up blueprints for the suits for dogs? If he didn’t some competitor would get the money, and once a stranger arrives in a Parisian dressmaking shop it is considered unprofessional to permit her to go away with any loose change. It bulges the pockets. But let us not forget the dog clothes The new chic tailor-made mantle will replace the sealskin jacket so popular last year.

Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of the body. Keep the kidneys well and health is easily maintained. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that helps and cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know. Mrs. M.L Moose, living at 209 Boulevard St., Statesville, N. C., says: ‘For several years I was a vic- time of weak kidneys. I had a soreness across these organs most of the time and I generally felt weak. Dizzy spells and headaches were of frequent occurrence, and at night I was unable to obtain my proper rest. The kidney secretions were also un- natural in appearance, and showed that my kidneys were at fault. I used @ number of remedies but Doan’s Kidney Pills, which I procur- ed at Hall’s drug store, benefited me more than any of the others.

Obliging Young Man. | “Will somebody tell me how I, can pay back $5 which I lawfully, owe?” wailed the wife of a United ' States senator at a supper given the | other night in Washington. “I shall willingly give another $5 for a helpful suggestion. I had to go to the capitol last week, and so I went in a herdic. I dropped my nickel in the place assigned, and no sooner had I done so than I gasped, for I suddenly realized that my nickel was a five dollar gold piece which my husband had given me the year of our marriage. I had al- ways kept it in my purse for senti- ment, and then you know it is wise to have $5 on hand anyway. I told the driver, and he said he could not help it; that I would have to ride to the end of the line, where the eash box could be opened. I almost was in tears as I explained that I could not do it, that I had to meet my husband and that I was in an awful hurry. “I looked so miserable that a nice looking young man across the way told me to cheer up. He would ride to the end and collect the gold. Thereupon he handed me a new five dollar gold piece with a bow which Chesterfield might have en- vied. My grateful outburst was cut short by having to scramble out of the herdic. Imagine my horror when I got home, in turning my purse upside down, to have the missing gold piece tumble in my lap. I was overcome with horror. I was mortified beyond measure by the conduct of my husband, who laugh- ed brutally and said that for a-new kind of skin game it was not bad. But think of that poor young man, his ideal of women shattered, out $5, for I hate no more idea where to find him than I have now to lo- cate a new comet, and the cynical way he will henceforth look at all gray haired old ladies in trouble— Points d’Ang!eterre Lace. Louis XIV., by the advice of his minister, Colbert, encouraged lace- making in France. The Venetians, who had hitherto monopolized the art, issued decrees forbidding their craftsmen to leave the republic un- der heavy penalties, but in spite of this the “points de France” soon ualed the “points de Venise.” The origin of the name “points d’Angleterre” is curious. In 1662 the English parliament forbade the import of foreign lace, but flax grown in England was not fine enough for the best lace, for which there was a great demand at the court of Charles II., so the mer- chants “bought up the choicest laces of the Brussels market, smuggled them over to England and sold them under the name of ‘points d’Angle- terre.’ ” Shut Him Up. The owner of a few houses in one of London’s poverty stricken streets had difficulty at times in getting his rents in or tenants out. One Mon- day morning he called at a house where the tenant was a bit behind and, as usual, had to swallow the old, old story of “only just started work.” In the afternoon the prop- erty owner went to see a big cricket match between two prominent clubs, and who should he meet on the ground but his backward tenant. “What’s the meaning of this?” said the irate landlord. “You can’t y your rent, and yet you can af- ord to attend cricket matches.” ‘I couldn’t ’ave come at all,” was the cool reply, “if I ’adn’t sold the back door for firewood !”—London Scraps. Inkhorn Terms. Among other lessons this should first be learned—that we never af- fect any strange inkhorn terms, but to speak as is commonly received, neither seeking to be overfine nor yet living overcareless, using our speech as most men do and ordering our wits as the fewest have done. Some seek so far for outlandish English that they forget altogether their mothers’ tongue. And I dare swear this—if some of their moth- ers were alive they were not able to tell what they say, and yet these fine English clerks will say that they speak in their mother tongue if a man should charge them with coun- terfeiting the king’s English_—Wil- son’s “System of Rhetoric, 1553.” Royal Golfer. King James II. was a fine golfer in the sense of fondness for the game, and in other senses too. He it was as Duke of York who, when challenged by two English noble- men at the Scottish court to a match, the duke to take any partner whom he could find, took to his side an Edinburgh shoemaker named John Patersone.

New York Press. “The present clergyman is an ex- pert in the art of being poor. He is an adept in low finance. The church has done comparatively lit- tle for the old clergyman. He has been shamefully neglected. The av- erage clergyman is ostracized at 50, Oslerized at 60, and canonized at 70.” These assertions were made Sun- day by the Rev. J.J. Wilkins, sec- retary of the League of the Baptized at the services of the organization held in Christ Protestant Episcopal ch Broadway and Seventeenth street. It had been explained t® them that the object of the league is to provide an assurance of support and comfort to the old clergymen who are unable to take up a charge ud have no other means of earning i livelihood.

Speaking of the amount of money preachers receive, he said: “The average ciergyman when he ‘began thought he was marching with the army of the Lord, but soon he found himself simply with the squad. The church has been withholding the square deal. The wages Or clergymen are often lower than those of ordi- nary laborers.

Salisbury, Nov. 20—Plucky Mrs. Maude Beard Feamster, wife of Mr W. Carey Feamster, put a burglar to rout at her home on North Long street at an early hour this morning and it is quite certain that he earries leag in his body as the result of his buglary of this home. Mr. Feamster is a mechanic at the Southern shops, working at night, and Mrs. Feamster and her children were in the house alone last night. About 4 o’elock this morning Mrs. Feamster was awak- eneg by a noise in her bedroom. which was in total daTkness. Thinking perhaps Mr Feamster had returned from his work she called to know who it was, at the same time reaching under the pil- low for her pistol. A voice re- sponded, ‘‘Hush, hush.’’ She ealleq again and this time the man said, ‘‘If you don’t hush I’ll kill you’’ As he spoke Mrs. Feamster reached out and stTuck the hand of the burglar, who was standing by her bed. The next instant she fired and the man retreated. Al- though she could not distinguish his figure she fired again in the direction of the door and the ac- euracy of her aim even in the dark was shown by a splintered piece Didn’t. The Ladies Aid Society of teh Race Street Methodist church seored a big success with its ba- zaar and baby show at the court house yesterday afternoon. The bazaar was held in the low- er hallway and here meals were served during the afternoon and early evening to a good sized erowd. With the threatening weather, the partonage was even = than the ladies had expect- e The baby show was the princi- pal event and was a grand success in every respect all of which was due to Miss Laura Lazenby who managed the affair. In front of the court house, the sight was one to remind a person of a baby carriage factory. Some forty or fifty of the little vehicles, of odd sizes, shapes and patterns, were assembled. The baby show proper was in the court room but everybody stopped to inspect the vast array of baby earts with their pretty robes, blankets and handsomely embroidered cushions. Prices were offered for the handsomest girl baby and also the best developed girl and the same inducements were offered to the parents of boys. The judges were: Boys; Zeb V. Long, Judge A. L. Coble, R H. Henry and J T. Mont- gomery. Girls; W. E. Anderson, Dr. J. A. Seott, S.O. Lazenby and E. G.

Morris Haas, of San Francisco shot Attorney Francis J. Heney, because the latter exposed him. That was the confession he made before he committed sui- eide. He did not blame himself for the crime which sent him to the penitentiary. He did not blanfa the state ‘for punishing’ him. He simply blamed the of- ficer who exposed him. That is usually the case with evil doers. What they fear and dread most of all is exposure, and they never forgive the man or the newspaper that shows them up. That is why publicity is so great a moral agency. Publicity is the real power of the press. Newspapers are some- criminals. It often happens that the friends of a man who has gone wrong will imparture a newspa- per to suppress the facts. But if that policy should be adopted by the American press, crime would increase an hundred fold. God grant this may never be. When the press becomes so cowardly as to cover up crime every so-called newspaper in the land will deserve to die. We are sometimes told that in this reSpect newspapers are. heartlesss and merciless. They are not more so than the Holy Bible. There never was a more merci- less uncovering than the Bible’s exposure at Abraham’s denial of his wife; or David’s betrayal of another man’s wife; or Peters denial of his Lord. The Bible is the greatest publicity book ever written. j —————_++@>- Elmwood, N. C., R. F. D., No. 1. Items. Farmers have about finished picking cotton and sowing wheat. Cotton is short this fall.

EXPLAINS IT TO HUSBAND. He Promptly Vetoes Plan as Imprac- ticable, and It Prevents His Annual Hunting Trip—Calls Her First Class Crank. [Copyright, 1908, by T. C. McClure.] “Is dinner all ready?’ asked Mr. Bowser as he came home from the office the other evening in something of a rush, “Yes, all ready to the minute,” re- plied Mrs. Bowser, “but I hope you are not going out this evening.” “T’ve got to. I’ve got a dozen things to see to. Tomorrow I go snipe hunt- ing. It’s my annual hunt, you know. I’ve got to borrow a shotgun, a game bag and a lot of other things. I shall be off at daylight and make a long day of it. I stopped and saw the butcher as I came along, and he says he’ll take six dozen snipe, and I can probably dispose of six dozen more to other butchers in the neighborhood. We won’t want over two dozen for our Own use.” “Then you calculate on at least four- teen dozen birds?’ asked Mrs Bowser. “All of that and perhaps two or three dozen extra. Something will de- pend on the weather, of course. Tell the cook that I want breakfast at 5 o’clock in the morning.” “Very well.” “And you can get out my hunting suit this evening.” “Yes.” “I won’t need any lunch. I'll take dinner with some farmer.” “T see.” Mr. Bowser was busy with his beef- steak and potatoes. Had he looked Ge TT - Hat Yh) Mh y f Hi Bh i Y, Aw a —~ F “YOU WILL LEARN A GREAT DEAL ABOUT NATURAL HISTORY.” across at Mrs. Bowser he would have seen something unusual “in her face. She had always vigorously opposed all his snipe hunts, and the fact that she had nothing to say on this occasion should have been a warning to him. It was not, however. He was in such a hurry that he -gorged his food and cut himself short by fifteen minutes, but when he shoved back from the ta- ble with the remark that he would run over to Green’s and see about bor- rowing his shotgun he was met by the observation: “Mr. Bowser, I would like to see you fn the sitting room for a few minutes before you go.” ; “See me? See me? Eh? Eh?” he re- plied in surprise. “Yes. I have a few words to say to you.” He looked at her in a puzzled way and noticed that her jaw was set, and there was a bit of wonder in his mind as he followed her upstairs. “Mr. Bowser,” she began as she turn- ed on him, “there was a lady here to- day who has been raising rabbits for market for the last three years and is making money hand over hand. She has offered me a chance to go into the business and get rich at it, and I have accepted.” “Rabbits for market?” he queried. “Just so. She sells 10,000 a year to the butchers, and she also sells as many pelts. It is all profit after you once get started. You know the won- derful fecundity of the rabbit. Every pair will increase twenty times over in two years. I have figured it out, and”— ~~ “But stop right there, Mrs. Bowser! How does it come that you take this thing up without consulting me?” «Just the way it comes that you have taken up a score of things with- out consulting me. You are anxious to make money. So am I. You didn’t say anything to me when you wanted to _ 80 into the dairy business, the sheep business, the onion business, the balloon business and twenty other things. I am talking to you now, however. I am telling you that I have figured it all out, and after two years we shall bave an income of ten thousand a year.” “Look here, woman”— “Don’t interrupt me, please. We must have ten acres of ground and a hundred pairs of rabbits to start with. I can get the rabbits any day of the Woman. You rise at daylight to go and shoot the festive snips. I rise at day- light with you to go and look for the ten acres of land. I want ten acres”— “You don’t want anything of the kind!” shouted Mr. Bowser as the pur- ple came to his face. Needed Ten Acres of Land. “I want ten acres of hillside, you know. The rabbits furnish their own SED : { burrows. This sares us a clean thou-} sand dollars a year. We throw them a sweet apple now and then, but for the most part they live on sorrel, burddcks, pigweeds and what else they can pick up in the inclosure. The only money to pay out is for the land and the wire fencing. After that everything fhat comes in is velvet. I have made a most conservative estimate, and ac- cording to my figures we shall have an income of”’— “An income of not a durned cent!” shouted the snipe hunter as he jumped up and down. “Mrs. Bowser, I posi- tively forbid you to invest one blamed dollar in any such nonsensical enter- prise?’ “But mother will give me the money, and you can have nothing to say about it. It is for our mutual benefit, any- how. You will share in what I make. I must have a rabbit boss, and the wo- man says I can afford to pay a salary of $100 a month. You simply walk about the ten acres with a stick in your hand and keep the big rabbits from annoying and retarding thegrewth of the little ones. You are out in the air all the time, and it will be good for your consumption, and then, too, you will learn a great deal about natural history.” “Woman!” he managed to ejaculate as he stood before her with face chang- ing color every moment. “T will attend to all sales and collec- tions, and you will simply see that the rabbits have a happy time of it. The woman says that ten acres of land will grow half a million rabbits. Dress- ed rabbits will sell at the warren for 15 cents each. The pelts will be snap- ped up at 10. The clear profit on ev- ery animal is 20 cents. When we get to selling a million a year you can see” — “Mrs. Bowser,” said Mr. Bowser in a hoarse whisper, “I forbid it! I posi- tively forbid it! If you go into the rabbit business I'll get a divorce!’ “PThat’s not a bit generous of you,” she replied as she turned away to hide the twinkle in her eyes. “You have bought fire escapes, new milk cows, chickens, pigs, goats, dogs and a dozen patent rights, and I never threatened divorcee. I don't think it’s fair. How- ever, should you get a divorce you see that it would leave me a rich woman. If the rabbit boss in my employ was a man who seemed to be consulting my interests and was kind to the rab-; bits’— Sees Bright Prospects. “You'd marry him!’ was yelled at her. “It might turn out that way, Mr. Bowser, but I hope to make you see things my way. I put $2,000 into it next spring, and within three years we are drawing an income of $10,000 a year. We are relieved from work, our future is assured, and if we want to take a trip to Europe the rabbits keep right on increasing during our ab- sence. I will get up at the same time you do in the morning, and”’— “But you won't!” “And while you are killing a cart load of snipe I'll be looking for ten acres of land eligibly situated. The soil should be sandy in order that the rabbits won’t hurt their toes in dig- ging their burrows. It should also have a southern exposure, as rabbits like the winter sun. The woman said”— “That will do, Mrs. Bowser—not an- other word on the subject. This fami- ly is not going into the rabbit business —not this week.” “But what's the difference between rabbit and snipe?’ she asked. “Who said anything about snipe?” “You said you were going snipe shooting tomorrow.” “Never said anything of the kind, never mentioned the name snipe. I ecouldn’t get away from the office if I wanted to. Mrs. Bowser, I have ob- served with pain and grief that you are getting to be a first class crank, and we certainly have got to have a long and plain talk together ere long and come to a better understanding than we have.” And then he went out into the au- tumn night and walked around, and as he walked he thought, and his big- gest thought was that Mrs. Bowser was kicking over the domestic traces and must be watched more closely in the future.

It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches aad pains that afflict humanity: they must ‘keep up,’ must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. they must walk and bend and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of the body. Keep the kidneys well and health is easily maintained. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that helps and cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know. Mrs. M.L Moose, living at 209 Boulevard St., Statesville, N. C., isays: “For several years I was a vic- weak kidneys. I had a soreness across these organs most of the time and I generally felt weak. Dizzy spells and headaches were of frequent occurrence, and at night I was unable to obtain my proper rest. The kidney secretions were also un- natural in appearance, and showed that my kidneys were at fault. I used a number of remedies but Doan’s Kidney Pills, which I procur- ed at Hall’s drug store, benefited me more than any of the others. I sin- cerely hope that other sufferers will give Doan’s Kidney Pills a trial as I know they will act strictly up to their representations.’ For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

SILER MAY LEAVE. It is Rumored That he is Slated for a2 Atlanta Appointment— A Great Loss to the North Car- oline, Conference, Charlotte Observer 22nd: A grapevine message from Asheville yesterday brought the unwelcome tidings to the city that Rev. Frank Siler, presiding elder of the Charlotte distriet, would likely be sent to Atlanta, Ga.. next year to take charge’ of the new institutional church there. This information, while unau- thentic, is currently accepted as probable and it is believed that Mr. Siler will hardly make Char- lotte his home next year. Mr. Siler has done a great work for Methodism in this district and his departure will be regretted by all classes and conditions. A more energetic and painstaking presid- ing elder never ministered to this charge. The instttutional church referred to is a new establishment in Atlanta, and is something like a Young Men’s Christian Asgsocia- tion and church combined. Re- cently several hundred thousands of dollars were raised for the pur- pose of properly equipping it. Mr. Siler is regarded by the leaders in the church as a\fit man to under- take the active management of it. Mr, Siler has just closed his first year as presidme elder of the Charltte district, and the year was one of the best the district has_ enjoyed. The news of his trans- fer has created considerable sur- prise In the Conference, and con- iderable comment as to who will ne his successor, thi’ being one of the largest distriet in the eonfer- ence. Mr. Siler came to this con- ference from Missouri in 1897, and he has-served the following charges: Trinity -church, Char- lotte, four years; Gentral church, Asheville, four years; First Statesville, two years, and one year as presiding elder of the Charlotte district. It was during his pastorate in Asheville that the church in which the present ses- sion of the Western North Caro- lina conference is now being held, was erected. This is indeed a heavy loss to the Western North Carolina con- ference, and it is regretted by aii that we are to lose brother Siler. During his two years pastorate in Statssville he aceomplisacd many great undertakings arid also much gceod.—Ths Meseot. —_——_-+ep 9 canvass, havisg had much to do|STATESVILLE MAN LUCKY.) ——at Gets Contract For a Big Job on GoverNor Glenn’s Mansion at Winston.

The Conference love- feast preceeded the sermon and was conducted by Rev. R. W. Pickens of Weaverville, and Rev. Frank H. Wood, of Trinity.

Any courtisies extended Mr. Sloan in the way of news ete. will be greatly appreciated by the managemeu:. ROOSEVELT AND HEARST. The country was disgusted to read a few days ago that Mr. Hearst pair a social call—disgust- ed that Mr. Herast should call upon the President without a pub- lic apology for the denunciation the President ordered Mr, Root to make of Mr. Hearst two years ago, and disgusted that Mr. Roose- velt should receive a social call from a man as vile as Mr. Roose- velt said Mr. Hearst was two years ago. Not in the history of the country has the prime minis- ter of any administration been directed to make so severe a casti- gation of any man as the follow- ing which Mr. Root delivered in a speech at Utica, New York, on the first of November. “‘T say to you with his (Roose- velt’s) authority that he regards Mr. Hearst as wholly unfit to be Governor, as an insincere, self- seeking demagogue who is trying to deceive the workingmen of New York by false statements and false promise; I say to you with his authority that he considers that Mr. Hearst’s election would be an injury and a discredit alike to hon- est labor and to honest capital and a serious injury to the work in which he is engaged of enforc- j ing just and equal laws against corporation wrong-doing. “*President Roosevelt and Mr. Hearst stand as far as the poles asunder. Listen to what Presi- dent Roosevelt himself has said of Mr. Hearst and his kind. In President Roosevelt’s first mes- sage to Congress,, in speakin'e* of the assassin of McKinley, he spoke of him as inflamed ‘‘by the reckless utterance of those who, on the stump and in the publie press, appeal to the dark and evil spirits of malice and greed, envy and sullen hatred. The wind is sowed by the man who preached such doctrines, and they cannot ¢s- eape their share of responsibility for the whirlwind that is reaped. Thistapplies alike to the deliber- ate demagogue, to the exploiter of sensationalism and to the crude and foolish visionary who for whatever reason apologizes for erime or excites aimiess discon- tent.”’ ae ae ““I say, by the President’s au- thority, that in penning these words, with the horror of Presi- dent MeKinley’s murder fresh. be- fore him, -he had Mr. Hearst spec- jally in his mind. *‘And I say, by his authority, that. what he thought of Mr. Hearst .then he thinks of Mr. Hearst now.”’ The thoughtful American people thought then thatthe denuncic- tion. was undeserved by Mr. Hearst, and it was unworthy of the presideat of the republic. The faet that Mr. Hearst called to see Mr. . Roosevelt without a public apology: of the above has almost. done;more to cause the New York editor to lose the respect of the } public than his joining hands with Roosevelt during the campaign to elect the candidate desired by Rockefeller, Carn:gie and the oth- er .trust. magnates. -The people have been suggesting reasons for the present social . relations be- tween Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Hearst. The following from the New York World seems the best: “*Possibly Mr. Hearst’s service in attacking Haskell, in exposing Foraker’s relations. with Standard Oil. and in opposing the election of the Democratine national ticket m the recent campaign are now re- garded by Mr. Roosevelt as full atonement for past offenses, and of such a nature as to warrant ‘social’ relations between Mr. Hearst and himself. “After all, why should there be enmity between two statesmen and journalists who have so much in common ?’’—News and Observer. Did the Best He Knew. Geordie Horn was a character well known among the country folk of the Scotch highlands twenty-five years ago. He belonged to a class rather hard to classify, for he was neither a tramp nor a farm hand, although frequently following the habits of both. Wan- dering from farm to farm, the greater part of the time he was kindly treated and hospitably entertained generally. While he was a man of unusual strength, he was mentally weak and exceedingly lady. “Fe’s a gie cute chiel, though slow in the uptack”. (understanding), was the way a good many described him. One day he arrived at his friend the doctor’s and complained of a severe pain in his breast. The doctor handed him a plaster, with instructions to put it on his chest without delay. Geordie gave him one of his knowing looks and took his departure. The doctor met him a few days later and inquired how he was feeling now. Geordie re- plied, “Nae better.” “Did you do as I told you with the plaster?” the doctor went on. “Weel, no, not exactly. I done the best I could. I didn’t have a chest, sae I stuck it on my bandbox” (hat box). An Expensive Dollar. Not long ago in this town a kind friend of the family gave one of the kids a dollar. Of course it was too much to let the kid get out and spend for candy and gum, so it was reli- giously put up on the sideboard or some other safe place to be kept—just for what the deponent saith not. In about a week the juvenile owner of the big round coin remarked at the breakfast table, “Papa, mamma spent my dollar yesterday.” The head of the house took the hint and fished up anotber dollar, which, like its prede- cessor, was placed in a good safe place to keep. During the next month by a careful- ly tabulated record which he kept on his cuff he repaid this elusive dollar just thirteen times. So at the end of the month you will not be surprised to learh that our friend sent the donor of the original dollar this curt nete: Dear Sir—Inclosed you will find a check for $1. It’s the dollar you gave our youngster. I return it simply to avoid bankruptcy. Already it has cost me some- where between fifteen and twenty. —Lamah (Mo.) Democrat. Dollar Fish. “Have you any dollar fish here?’ a woman asked of one of the attendants at the aquarium. While the question may seem curi- ous, it was really very simple, for the dolle~ fish is only a young moonfish. YT* - moonfish is a curious but beau- tif creature, almost reund in shape #° « extremely thin and having the ! sellest of pearly sides. It swims on ~dge, so that it always presents its sides of pearl to view. It takes its name from its shape and because, further, in color it suggests the silvery moon. Young moonfish of the size of a standard silver dollar—and they are scarcely any thicker—are called dollar fishes because of their resemblance to that coin in size and shape and color, and the woman making the inquiry about dollar fishes was duly informed that there was none in the tanks at the present time, but that they did have them occasionally. —New York Sun. Three Sabbaths Each Week In Tangier. Morocco is a country of many Sab- baths. The first three days I spent in Tangier were all Sabbaths. Arriving on a Thursday night, the next day was Friday, the Mohammedan Sabbath, which was followed by the Jewish Sabbath—the Hebrew element in Tan- gier is considerable and strict in re- ligious observance—and that in turn by the Christian Sunday. Subsequent comparison, however, revealed little difference between any days of the week. On the Mohammedan Sabbath a black flag is hoisted on the minarets at the prayer of dawn, instead of the white flag that announces the time of devotions on other days. It remains up until the middle of the forenoon, by which time eterybody is supposed |- to have found out what day it is— New York Post. -_———_—___——_—_—_. @ The Word “Charlatan.” “Charlatan,” says a writer in the London Chronicle, “igs companion to ‘quack’ in our vocabulary, and of this word the origin is certainly Italian.

In Berlin They Are Wearing Col- ored Evening Clothes. New York Sun. _ In Berlin a really serious effort |is being made to introduce colored ‘evening dress for men, and so far | the favorite color seems to be the ivery deepest shade of violet, which is not obstrusive and is yet effective. In the smart restau rants in Berlin several dolored) suits have been seen, some being of dark blue, one or two of brown, and at least one of maroon. ‘“‘Englishmen do not readily adopt fashions that come to them from the continent,’’ commpnits The Ladys Pistorial, ‘‘the Ham- burg hat being the most notice- able exception to the rule. There seems to them a suggestion of comie opera about them. But as we have so long discussed the desirability of eolored evening dress it may be that our men may adopt this mode, although it is made in Germany. One feels sure men will be warmlky encour- aged by our sex if they do break away from the conventional suit of solemn black.”’ Stops earache in two minutes; toothache or pain of burn or scald in five minutes; hoarseness, one hour; muscleache, two hours; sore throat, twelve hours—Dr. Tlomas Eclectric Oil, monarch over pain.

The origin of the word ‘‘alman- ac’’ is derived from Arabie wrrds aland manah—to count—and thus aptly applies to the measurment ofi time. Almanacs in ancient days were employed by the Alex- andrian Greeks, but it is uncer- tain when they were actually in- troduced in Europe. In 1150 A. D. Solomon Jar- ehus published an almanac, but the first printed one was brought out in Venna in 1457 by the great astronomer Purbach. The {most celebrated almanac maker was the dabbler in magic.

Bridget had been in America only a She had been_en- When asked if she understood all the details of her work she unhesitatingly replied, “Sure I do, ma’am.” Her mistress was not quite satisfied, however, and while she was busy with her first washing looked in upon ber. Bridget seemed to be doing all right, and she left without offering sugges- tions. : Next morning the ironing was in or- der, and Bridget was hard at it when her mistress looked in to say, “As you get the clothes froned, just throw them over the horse.” “All right, ma’am,” the busy laundry girl replied without stopping to raise her eyes from her work in hand, The laundry room was located in au outhouse adjoining the barn, and occa- sionally the neighing of the family horse and the merry voice of Bridsct resounded throughout the house. Returning to the laundry house a couple of hours later, the lady could scarcely believe her eyes nor restrain her mirth when she beheld the fam- ily horse, standing patiently beside Bridget, loaded down with ‘newly ironed sheets, pillowcases, tablecloths and lace trimmed waists and skirts. With an anxious look on her honest face Bridget observed. “I’m glad you’ve come, ma’am, for I'll have to have another horse.” Working Too Hard. The owner of the farm had been en- joying himself at the county fair, while bis hardworking wife stayed at home to see that the farm suffered no loss in his absence. “Well, Sarah,” said the owner upon his return, “I’m about a!l tired out. Is the cows in the barn?” “Yes: long since,” replied his wife, barely looking up from the task then in hand. * “Is the hosses unharnessed an’ fed?” “Yes.” “Chickens locked up?” “Yes.” “Wood chopped for mornin’?” “Yeas,” “Wagon heel mended an’ ready t’ start in th’ mornin’?”’ “Yes.” “Well, then,” concluded the exhaust- ed owner, with a sigh of relief, “let me have my supper.

They were of equal size, but one was dark and dull in hue, the other beautifully pink and translucent. “The dark one,” he said, “is worth 50 cents; the pink one is worth $500. That is what makes coral so popular. It suits all pocketbooks. All over the world it goes. These strings of rough, uncut beads are for the dead of India. They are put round the necks of the bodies about to be burned in the chats. These large and blood red beads go to Africa. They are much liked by the natives, whose dark skins they perfectly suit. Here are a lot of coral hands with fingers extended in a V— the gesture that wards off the evil eye. The coral hands are for Italy, where the belief in their efficacy is wide- spread.”—Buffalo Express. He Would Return. Marlow was three years old. One day his mother said to him, “Now, Marlow, you may go outdoors to play for awhile, but if I see you crossing the street to play with that naughty little boy .Willie Burr again I’ll give you a hard, hard spanking.” zs Half an hour later the mother looked out after her boy and saw him playing with Willie Burr. She raised the win- dow and called with forced gentleness: “Marlow, come here to me!” Marlow came, but as he did so he turned to his companion and said: “You stay wight here, Willie. I’m doin’ in to det spanked. I'll be wight back.’”’—Delineator. . Catching Rats. The best way to catch rats is to put any animal substance, well perfumed with ofl of rhodium, into a trap. This induces them to enter readily and even draws them from a considerable dis- tance, as they are extremely partial to this oil. An ounce of oil of rhodium will cost you 50 cents.

Hints in a letter received from Linwood Thomas, of Dorchester, Mass., presented-a mystery to the authoritiés of Mount Vernon to the unraveling of which the en- tire local detective force have been detailed. C. S. Cooper, a wealthy resident of San Diego, Cal., is reported missing and ap- parently he himself has sent out word that he is missing and an urgent request that he be found. The cnly known facts in the ease are contained in the letter which Chief Foley of Mount Ver- non, has received from Thomas. it indicates that Cooper was as- saaited and robbed of $300 some- where in ‘the neighborhood of New York, and is now being cared for by strangers near Mount Ver- non. The remarkable feature of the case is that Cooper’s mind apparently is a blank, and that ne cannot remember where he jives or anything about his friends with the single exception of Thomas tc: whom he wrote. The letter of Thomas to Chief Foley is as follows: ‘Last September I was visited by Jchn L Rose, of San Diego, Cal. an old friend of mine. He was accompanied by C. S. Cooper, of San Diego, an elderly man, and I should say, 2 man of means. Mr. Rose is also wealthy, Mr. Rose has a brother in New York state I think at Utica—and he said he was going there. . “Tonight I-have received p letter from C. S. Cooper, dated Near Mount Vernon, N. Y., say- ing he avas very ill and had been struck on the head, and could not remember my name and address. Could not remember his home or wife or where Mr. Rose is or any- thing, and that he had been very badly hurt and robbed of $300. Ye says he wandered to some folk ‘near Mount Vernon, who were caring for him, but. most every- thing is blank.”’ sat Chief Foley says that about three months ago an elderly man. who gave his name as Rose, and said he lived in San Diego, Cal., called upon him and obtained his autograph to add to that of many other police officials whose signa- tures he had collected, but Foley says he neither saw nor heard anything of Cooper. He inclines to the belief that Rose and Coop- er may have fallen in with crooks ang been assaulted and robbed. ee — Mr. H. E. Sloop of Winston is Movement of an Iredell Man.

So far no one has been discover- ed as being injured or killed. Cond$ctor Tomlin states that he had thirty-two cars inwhis train, with two engines Nos. 613 and 1052 and was running at a speed of about 20 or 25 miles per hour, the speed be- ing cut down on account of a curve they were approaching. Without any warning whatever, the rear trucks of engine No. 613 left the track, engine No. 1052 fol- lowing suit. The emergency breaks were quickly set, and the tender of engine No. 1052 left the track, going down a very high embankment. Fifteen freight cars followed suit, piling up on each other in every conceivable way. The cars were most all loaded with imerchandise. In one car some one had their household furniture, a pony, cow ané calf and several chick. ens. The car was smashed beneath several others, and the pony and part of the chickens were killed. The cow and calf escaped un- scratched, being thrown out in 2a corn patch on their sides. When found they were eating corn stalks as unconcerned as if nothing had happened. Their escape was miraculous. Wrecking crews’ arrived from Salisbury and Asheville at an early hour and commenced cleaning up the wreckage. It will be some time late tonight before traffic can be re- sumed over the road, as the road bed is torn up for a distance of a quarter of a mile. East bound passenger trains Nos <6 and 21, west bound trains Nos. 1! and 22 will be detoured by the way of Mooresville and Barber's Junction. Conductor Tomlin who was in charge of the train is a brother of Mr. C. S. Tomlin of this city, and is well known by Statesville citizens. —_——— Automobilists in Court. Messrs. A. F. Horton and O. W.

Conference Fails to Complete Work at Customary Time—All Eagerly Awaiting the Reading of Appoint- ments—Next Session to be Held at Hickory. Asheville, Nov. 23—Contrary to the expectations of most of the members of the Weastern North Carolina confeernce ‘final adjournment of that body will not take place before tomorrow morning, and possibly not until the afternoon. While there is not certain time for the adjournmens of any annual Conference, it is a sort of unwritten law that the appointments of this Conference be read Monday night following the opening previous Wednesday The cabinet, however, has not, nearly completed its work and none of the cowmittees has sub- mitted a report, hence there is the work of at least one more full session and brobably more .be-. fore the body. It is necessary for every other item of business to be transacted before the appoint ments are read; and while their is @ great. desireon the part of the members of the Confenence to. get the appointments there is no way to hurry the time of their reading. It is expected that a great many surprises will [follow che reading of the appointments. It is arumor io the Conference that the Bishop is making many of the appointments without even the knowledge of the presi- ding elders, hence it is not,unlike- ly that some members of thecab- inet may be as much surprised atthe time of adjournment as the genarel body of preachers. There is much Conference talk re garding the question of who will be appointed the presiding elders of the Charlotte and Greensboro districts; pastor of West Market street, Greens- boro, and several other leading ap- pointments. It is thought by some that Rev. S. B_ Turrentine or Rev. G. H. Detwiler will succeed Rev. Frank Siler and that there may be an exchange of these with another pastor of a leading church. There is, however, nothing known definitely in the conference. The order of the day for 10 o’clock was the selection of the place of the next meeting of conference and Wadesboro, Hickory and Reidsville were nominated. The choice of Hickory was made unanimous. ——— BOY’S HAND BLOWN OFF. Youth Makes an Improvised Bomb, Which Explodes Prematurely With Above ffect. Kinston, N. C., Nov., 23.—A dis- tressing accédent occurred at the home of Captain Sturgeon on East street this morning at 11 o’clock in which Mayo Sturgéon, the sixteen- year-old son of Captain Sturgeon had his hand terribly torn and lace rated by the premature explosion of an improvised bomb he had just made. The “bomb’’ explodéd in his hand while he was in the act of throwing it from the house and three fingers were torn completely off and his hand othérwise injured so badly that he will probably lose the entire hand. The youth had constructed a “bomb” from a short piece of water pipe and powder with a fuse insert- ed. The fuse he lighted and started to throw the “infernal machine” out into the yard when it went off sooner than he expected and while in his ‘hand. The explosion was almost terrific and it is really a wondér that more serious harm did not résult. . ttn Pe Mr_C. E. Cornelius of Mooresville is in the city on business.

The North Carolina Retail Mer. chants Association is the largest or- génization of its kind in the world, and has grown each year in numbers and influence. > It has only been organized for seven years, and the summary showg that it has béen the most useful and valuable organization ever formed for this particular purpose, In its seven years of existence it has repeled the merchants sales tax, thereby saving the merchants of our state over $140,000 dollars. ‘Besides that it has also added the iifferential freight rate charges on less than car load shipments of mer- handise, thereby saving 20 per cent om freight charges. . It has also prevented the reclass- ification of freight rates when the railroad companies sought to place all the leading commodies handled by retailers in a higher classification. It is hoped that all:the merchants of the city will attend. this meeting tonight and help carry :forward this valuable work. *s UNCLE JOE MAY LOSE IT. Large Nuniber of Republican Mem- bers Report Anti-Cannon Senti- ment—With Cannon in Command the Revision of Tarift Will Not be What is Expected. Washington, Nov 23.—Dispite & republican majority of 47 in the house of representatives Jo- seph G. Cannon,-of Illinois, may not be speaker of the sixty- first congress. Such in the the Opinion of a large number of the republican members whohavear- rived in town, and a day goes by bat some new arrival brings re- port of strong anti-Cennon sen- timent in his distric. This senti- ment is reflected by republican news papers throughout the country. Cannon is declared to be the republican “Old Man of Sea,” tlie one great obstacle to a prog- Fessive policy, and demand is made that he be displaced. Those who are striviog to de- feat the speaker are useing every possible argument to showmemb- ers that their political fortunes will be best served by the over- throw of Cannon. One of the points most often made is that which Cannon is command revis- oa. of the tariff will not be ‘what the country expect:, and that public disapoiatment will man- ifest. itself in the election of a démocratic honse in 1909. This is one of the most telling argu- ments Connon’s opponnents can make. Itis pointed out that while some sort of a taritf bill is bound tod pass, with Cannon, Daizel and Payne in supreme control di the measure, the great consuming public, which is asking for relief, will get little eonideration. a, regularly, Doan’s Regulets will pre- fvent constipation.

He has come to the Dem- oeratic position on the subject. And he says that duties shoulg be laid upon the luxuries of the rich, to the exemption of the necessities of the poor. This is not only the sound economic view but the hu- manitarian view as well. He - frankly admits that his own indus- try, along’ with others, no longer needs protection, having grown away from its infancy. The announcement of his forth- coming article in The Century Magazine, a fair idea of which is no doubt given in the Associated Pressg story this morning, is some- what in the nature of a bombshell. He makes the point that this is the greatest manufacturing country in the world and has nothing to fear in this line from foreign com- petition for reason of its unparal- leleg advantage in the matter of raw material, with which goes low eost of production; but does not, of eourse, overlook the fact that enormous revenue is to be raised by the tariff and would have duties laid with an eye to this. Here again is the Democratic position. The expenditure of the government are increasing year by year and quité two-thirds of its revenue must be raised from im- post’ taxes. These must be so heavy as to furnish incidesitally all'‘the honest protection that do- mestie industries need; all more than'this is tariff graft, exacted unjustly from: the consumer. While governmental expenditures inerease, and they will continue to do so, any talk of free trade would be absurd. No one advo- eates it and -the term is never heard except as tariff beneficiaries employ it to misrepresent the pur- pose of tariff reformers. The Carnegie discussion is a hopeful indication. The Ald- riches, Cannons, Paynes and’ Dal- zelig and the tariff grafters who stand over them and control them will not easily answer or evade it. —Charlotte Observer, COMMENT ON JUDGE LONG.

The: mistakes are not always to be shoul- dered on to the compositor, for bad handwriting must be taken into ac- counf Here are a few instances of actual blunders collected by a proof- reader in the course of his daily work: “His blushing bride” was transform- ed into “his blustering bride.” A major was stated to have “served The writer thought he used the word “dis- tinction.” “The Galley I Love” was the descrip- tion of a picture entitled “The Galley Slave.” Speaking of theatrical folk, a critic wrote that “nearly all have husbands or wives.” The paragraph printed read “hundreds of wives.” “They sailed for three days around the cape and finally slaughtered a small Italian” should have been “sighted a small island.” One more in conclusion. “He takes delight in talking on his family shame” was a shameful thing to say when “favorite theme” was meant. A Three Legged Bison. In 1867 Small Eyes, a Blackfoot who had come down from the north and joined the Arapahoes and lived with them, told Black Kettle, a Cheyenne in George Bent’s lodge, about having killed, between the Cimarron and Beaver creek, a tributary of the north fork of the Canadian, a buffalo bull which had only one hind leg. Accord- ing to Small Eyes’ story, it did not ap- pear that the bull had lost one of its hind legs, but rather that it never had had more than one. The hind leg was very large, seemed to be in the mid- dle of the body instead of at one side, and there was no sign of any missing leg. It looked as if the two hind legs which the buffalo ordinarily has had in some way fused together. The war party with which Small Eyes was traveling was passing along near a hollow when the bull came up out of it, and some of the men ran ahead, got around it and shot it with a gun. It was not able to run fast, but rather hobbled along.—Forest and Stream. Saved by a Photograph. A very remarkable incident occurred at Rio de Janeiro. A passenger on board one of the large liners took a photograph of the harbor. It included a small yacht whieh had sailed in the morning with two men in her, but returned in the evening with one only. The survivor said his companion had fallen over- board, but his statement was not be- lieved. He was tried and sentenced to death. The matter had by this time come to the ears of the photographer, who remembered that the picture had been taken on the day of the “crime” (or accident) and that the scene em- braced a yacht. On examining the print more carefully he noticed a small speck on the sail and in order to de- termine what it was had an enlarge- ment made. It proved to be the figure of a man falling. It was shown to the authorities at once, and the condemned man was released. Dropsical Oysters. With a sneer the oyster opener point- ed to a brownish smear upon a Saddle Rock shell. “Some fool,” said he, “has been try- ing to fatten up a batch of Saddle Rocks with cornmeal. You might as well try to invigorate flowers with corned beef hash. But it is a common error to believe that cornmeal or oat- meal will fatten oysters. I continually find oysters with their shells stained with those grains. It makes me laugh. As a matter of fact, there is no such thing as fattening oysters. All you can do is swell them up with water, pre- cisely the same as water swells a sponge. You put them in fresh water, which, being less dense than the soft they are accustomed to,. by the princi- ple of osmosis penetrates and distends their tissues—gives them, as you might say, dropsy. For my part, I don’t like fattened oysters.” —New Orleans Times- Democrat. For a Bride’s Dowry. There is a very pretty custom in some of the northern parts of Europe. There the white poplar in good sofl increases a shilling in value every year. The trees are generally cut down at the age of twenty. years, as they are then supposed to have attained their full growth.

A Buffalo Doctor Warns us to Be- ware of Vegetables or we Will Have Cancer. Buffalo, Nov.23—Dr. Hiram D. Walker, before the Buffalo Aca- demy of Medicine, said in a paper on the origon of cancer, that sev- en years experiment had proved to his satisfaction that cancer is a parasitic disease, and that the common garden worm is the sou- ree of the parasite which produc- escancer. The transmission of the parisite from the worm to the numan being comes, from the worm’s crawling over fresh veg. etables, which are afterward eat- en. ‘If lam correct in my conclu- sions,” said Dr. Walker, “all the suffering and death caused by cancer can be prevented by re- fraining from eaten such vegetab- les as cabbage, celery, onions, and lettuce which have been in- fected by these parasites. _ Dr Walker told of a series of 60 years experiment upon var- ious animals. Feeding or injec- ting the parasitic germs obtain- ed from earth worms into gui- nea pigs, mice and dogs was foll- owed in many cases by the devel- opment of tumors or cancers. In almost every case infection wasfatal to theanimals. Dr. Wal ker presented a series of micros copie slides showing cancer cells produced under these conditions. Thes cells were examined by speciélists, he said, and pronou need cancer cells. ——)-<+- —__—_—- GENERALS NEWS ITEMS.

Urea Major and Ursa Minor are known also as the triones and as the Greater Wain andthe Lesser Wain. It is curious to note that the larger con- stellation was given the figure of the bear by the Arabs and by the Iroquois red men. Jhe assumed forms are or- dinarily fanciful, and the identity of the names in this instance affords food for speculation. Homer uses both bear and wain (wagon) in his references to these stars. It is evident that the name bear was a translation from some original Aryan language, as the constellation is called in Sanskrit riksha, a word that in different gen- ders means both a bear and a star. Of course the polar star in the tail of Ursa Minor is the constellation’s point of glory. In this case we may say fairly that the tail wags the dog, because the group of stars was once called the dog’s tail, or cynosure. From that we have our word cynosure, that toward which all eyes turn, as to the dog’s tail for sight of the pole star.—Minne- apolis Tribune. % How Nora Coaxed the Tips. A group of women were standing in the corridor of a summer hotel when an aged scrubwoman started upstairs with a pail of water. Just then a bright faced, buxom Irish chamber- maid came up. “This looks purty heavy for the likes of ye,” she said cheerily to the old woman. “Better let me help.” She took up the paid and whisked off upstairs with it. “How thoughtful of Nora!” “Isn’t she kind?” and similar expressions proprietor of the hotel and another man also witnes$ed the incident. “Clever girl, that Nora,’ said the hotel man to his companion. ‘“She’s always doing something like that when more tips than any two other girls in the house. She could afford to pay me for the privilege of working here. Every summer she makes enough to spend the winter in idleness at her old home in Irelanéd.”—New York Tribune. Oddities of Color Blindness. Color blindness, or the inability to distinguish certain colors, is by no means rare. Incomplete color blindness is when a person cannot, distinguish one of the fundamental colors, red, green or violet. If a person is told to select colors resembling violet, he will if red blind usually select blues as well as Violets. If he is green blind, he will select green or gray, with possibly some blues and violets of the brightest shades. Violet blindness is rare. Toa red blind. person the American flag ap- pears to have green and white stripes, while the white stars appear on a vio- let field. Toa green blind person the stripes have the proper colors, but the field for ‘the stars is red violet. To a violet blind person the stripes are nor- mal, but the stars appear to be set in a dark brownish gray field. To a person who 1s totally color blind the blue of the flag appears a light yellowish brown, while the red stripes seem to be a darker brown. An Idol Shattered. Some one has said that people that are fond of hero worship should never make a pilgrimage to see the hero. Here is an instance: An enthusiastic young lady admirer called on her favorite author. In speaking of her visit she said: “Pm sorry I saw him. He didn’t look at all like an author—no long. wavy hair; no dreamy expression; no eyes fixed on the stars as if to read the secrets of the heavens; no musical; low voice—nothing to suggest the genius. No, I found him leaning on the garden gate, in his shirt sleeves, swearing at a grocery boy! And his hair was close cropped, and he looked as if he hadn’t shaved in a week. He} was the most terribly human specimen I ever saw.”—Atlanta Constitution. The Wickedest Bit of Sea. Nine out of ten travelers would tell inquirers that the roughest piece of water is that cruel stretch in the Eng- lish channel, and nine out of ten trav- elers would say what was not true. As a.matter of fact, “the wickedest bit of sea” is not in the Dover strait or in yachting, for example, from St. Jean de Luiz up to Pauillac or across the Mediterranean “race” from Cadiz to Tangier, nor is it in rounding Cape Horn, where there is what sailors cah a “true” sea. The “wickedest sea” is encountered in rounding the Cape of Good Hope for the eastern ports of Cape Colony. What a Scotsman Wears. A Scottish correspondent, signing himself “Haggis,” writes to us as fol- lows: Dear Sir—Please state in your column that a Scotsman wears a kilt, not kilts. Thus Harry Lauder went to amuse the king clad in a kilt, not in kilts. We regret to say that we find our selves unable to accede to our corre- spondent’s request. Respect for truth compels us to state that a Scotsman almost invariably wears neither a kilt nor kilts, but trousers.—Lendon News. Quite of Her Opinion. “Oh, I did so want to have a talk with you!

It dues seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches aad pains that afflict humanity; they must ‘“keey up,’ must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. they must walk and bend and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of the body. Keep the kidneys well and health is easily maintained. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that helps and cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know. Mrs. M.L Moose, living at 209 Boulevard St., Statesville, N. C., says: ‘‘For several years I was a vic- time of weak kidneys. I had a soreness across these organs most of the time and I generally felt weak. Dizzy spells and headaches were of frequent occurrence, and at night I was unable to obtain my proper rest. The kidney secretions were also un- natural in appearance, and showed that my kidneys were at fault. I used a number of remedies but Doan’s Kidney Pills, which I procur- ed at Hall’s drug store, benefited me more than any of the others. I-sin- cerely hope that other sufferers will give Doan’s Kidney Pills a trial as I know they will act strictly up to their representations. ’’ For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

It is certainly a remarkable state of affairs to find the at eld party and its leaders coming out so strong for tariff reduction. This is the result of democratic edueation. ——~~<@>e—____ CANNON FOR REVISION. — In Line With The Promise of The Party Platform—Says that So Far as His Vote is Concerned He Will See to It That The An. nounced Policy of Revision Will Be Written-in The National Laws Soon as Possible. Joseph G. Cannon, Speaker of the House of Representatives. placed_himself on record in favor of revision of the tariff in the line with the promise of the Republi- ean party platiiorm and declared that so far as his vote was con- cerned he would sce to it that ‘the announced policy. wf revision would be written in the National laws as Soon as possible. ““Any change in the revenue laws of the country of neeéssity. is followed by a depression of bus- mess,*’ said Speaker Cannorg ““Three years ago I followed-the lead of Theodore Roosevelt, tho declared that there should be no revision of the tariff, until after the next ‘general election. His' policy was not to change existing conditions. The Republican plat- form on which the national con- test has been won, says revise the revenue laws. That revision should be with due regard to protection and penalty against discriminat- ory nations. As a member of the next House of. Representatives, and I will be there if I live, I am goimeg so far as my vote is concern- 2 ed to see to it that the policy of the Republican party ion this pues- tion is written promptly so that business can adjust itself to chang- ed conditions for the change will, of necessity, bring disturbance.”’ ——~+oea>-e—___ The Best Pills:Ever Sold. *‘After doctoring 15 years for chronic indigestion, and spending over two hundred dollars, nothing has done me as much good as Dr. King’s New Life Pills.

No. 374 Thanksgiving in the City SERVICES AT THE CHURCHES The Day Fittingly Observed in Statesville—Collections Taken for Various Purposes by the Churches—Many Indulged in Hunting. day, a day the mention of which suggests visions of pumpkin pie, a slaughtered tur key, cooked and brown, with its feet in the air and a earving set near at hand, where there is a re- union of the families around the festive board, when the sons and daughters come hime to spend just one day. Ilere we had the small boy with his vision of hunting for rabbits and other games, also his gleeful anticipation of the table filled and groaning with all kinds of good things to eat. This day with all its gladness merry ~ making is come and gone. It will’be many days be- fore we all bury it, the pleasures of yesterday, an ideal day in every respect, The morning dawned with cloud and fog and the the first impres- sion was that it would be a dreary, rainy day. ~ But it was not long before old Sol, on his daily jour- ney, eame along and dispersed all the dreariness of the day. But despite the dainy aspect of the clouds large crowds began to arrive for the ‘‘Old Folks’’ sing- ing at the court house Here all the old folks of this im- mediate section, gathered, with a good sprinkling of the younger set, and sent up their Thanksgiving and praise in those old songs. It was indeed a picture of happiness and thankfulness that was written on the faces of these dear old peo- ple in singing these old songs. The chureh doors were thrown open at 11 o’clock, where special sermons were preached, and col- lections taken for various pur- poses. These services were all well attended. At the First Baptist church, Rev. C, A. Jenkins, text Matthew 6-11, ‘*Give us this day our daily bread.’? “Collection for Thomas- orphanage, $35.50. At the Associate Reformed church, by Rev. J. H. Pressly, text Job 1-10, ‘‘Thou host set a hedge about him, and his house and all that he hath. Thou host blest the labor of his hand, so that his sub- stanee is inereased in the land.”’ Collection for the orphanage at Rio Verde, Mexico, $73.40 and three windows for the new South- side church. At the First Presbyterian chureh, by Rev. J. M. Wharey, text, Ist verses of 97 and 99 chap- ters of Psalms. Collection for the Barium orphanage, $72.09. At the Lutheran church, by Rev. W. A Lutz, amount of collection for the orphanage at Salem, Va., $15.00. At the Front Street Presbyte- rianchureh by Rev. J. B. Branch. Collection for the Barium orphan- age $7.00. < ae Collection will be held over till Sunday to give those not present yesterday, a chanee to contribute to these causes. Others who did not go to church amused themselves in various ways, horse back riding driving, skating and numerous other ways. The hotels and eafes of the city gave special dinners. Everybody appeared to be hap- Thanksgiving and ‘ py to be able to throw off the bur- Trees Dug Up. The once beautiful elm shade trees on the courthouse lawn are being dug up this morning :. For a great number oF years these trees have adorned the court house lawn, but. they were trim- med a com off years ago and since that time they have been dy- Ing | gradually. It isa pity indeed that the county was compelled to remove the trees as they added a lot to the view of ithe temple of justice. Mr. R.O Leinster remarked this morning that he well remem- bered the occasion when these trees were set out. i He stated that the court house which formerly stood on the square was burned in December 1854. The site where the court house now stands was selected’ for the next court house. This spot was an apple orchard, with a barn in the center. Mr. Leinster further stated that Jno. Roseboro was then sheriff of the county and Milas Freeland was clerk of the court, and that.they had quite a controversy as to the distance that should be between the trees when they were set out. But ere many years elapse the young trees set out at the instiga- tim by Mr. Richard MeLaughlin will afford us shade and beauty for the . lawn. ——_~++@>-9—_—_ ; Church Notes. Rev, J. N Huggins has asked the Mascot to make the following an- nouncement: There will be preaching at the court house Sunday morning at 11 o’clock by Rev. J. N. Huggins. Sunday night Rev. Huggins will preach at the Race street church. Rev. Harold Turner will arrive in the city the latter part of next week and preach at the court house on Sunday following. Rev. J. R Seroggs and family will go next week to Shelby, where Rev. Scroggs will be station” ed next year. Before going, Rev. Seroggs will visit his father and mother, Mr, and Mrs. J. H. Seroggs, in the country. a Demorest Stock Co, The Asheville Citizen of the 24 says: ‘The Demorest Comedy com- panycompany opened this week engagement at the Gran _ last night to a packed house. The in- itial bill was ‘‘A Miner’s Daught- er,’? a comedy-drama of western life, and the audience seemed to take to it. The Demorest com- pany, which appeared here last year, carries some excellent spec- ialties, chief of which is the De- morest musical specialty. May Blossom Williams was clever in singing sketches. Tonight’s attraction will be ‘‘A Midnight Elopement,’’ a three act faree-eomedy, which will be pre- sented at popular prices. — Backet Ball. The basket ball game at the opera house yesterday afternoon between Davidson and Statesville resulted in a score of 23 to 11 in favor of Davidson. The Davidson boys are well practiced and easily whipped the Statesville boys who had not much practice. se Mr. H. G. Nattress of the local. team, and Mr Harper Brady of the Daidson team made some fine records. A large crowd witnessed the game, which was quite interesting and enthusiasm was plentiful. —_———_++ ore —— Mr. W.7. Reynolds of Danville, is in the city.

Turner was called on to speak a while in fav or of the singing and he at once re- sponded and gave the audience a few minutes talk which was very encouraging and inspiring to his listeners who gave undivided at- tention. We could find no fault with his remarks, only he didn’t speak long enough and he did not have but a short time to speak.

The Photo company, who are here under the management of Mr. Huffman kindly offered to take a photo of the oldest person who took part in the singing, the per- son who gets the photo free of charge was Mr. Azor Sloan, he be- ing 81 years old.

Will White, Colored, of Iredell, Sent up in 1893 for Burglary and Three Others Pardoned— Brie {Sketch of White’s Career. Raleigh, Nov. 25.—Following a custom instituted by him at the beginning of his term, Governor Glenn issued Thanksgiving par- dons to take effect yesterday. Pardons are issued only to long term prisoners who have good re- eords and who have no friends who have interested themselves in getting a pardon for them. He has therefore issued only two par- dons, but as this is his last time he issues four. Thoe pardoned are Jeff Mace, white, Madison county; Walter Newton, white, Granville county; Will White, colored, Iredell county; Moses Pender, colored, Edgecombe coun- ty. Will White, colored, who was pardoned yesterday by the gov- ernor was convicted of burglary in 1893 and sent up for 25 years. As the older citizens will re- member, White was found in the home of Mrs. Sallie Walker, at White’s mill, near this city. He had secreted himself in the house and was found by some of the members of the family, He was brought to town and placed in the county jail to await the November term of court in 1893. His trial» took place on Satur- day, November 11, 1893, before Judge Spier Whitaker. Judge B. F. Long was solicitor, and the following named gentlemen were the jury who convicted him: W. KE. Turner, 8. A. Lowrance, J. M. Deaton, C. D. Conner, .G C. White, W. C. Feimster, J. L. Dea- ton, W. C. Henry, W. R. Smith, B. F. Douglas, J. C. Burgess, J. W. Stevenson. One member of this jury, Mr. Deaton is now sheriff-elect of Ire- dell county. White has just served 15 years of his time and has had a good re- cord as a prisoner, hence his par- don.

It doés seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches aad pains that afflict humanity; they must “keep up,” must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. they must walk and bend and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of the body. Keep the kidneys well and health is easily maintained, Read of a remedy for! kidneys only that helps and cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know. Mrs. M.L Moose, living at 209 Boulevard St., Statesville, N. C., says: “For several years I was’a vic- time of weak kidneys.

Dizzy. spells and headaches were-of frequent oecurrence, and at night I was unable to obtain my proper.rest, The kidney secretions were also un- natural in appearance, and showed that my kidneys wereat fault.

Robbers Visit Tonsorial Artist TAKES ALL CASH IN SIGHT. Entered From the Side Walk Through Window and Robbed W. F. Howard’s Cash Drawer of a Neat .Sum of Cash—Evi- dently Knew of the Cash Being on Hand. Although they say that tonso- rial artists never talk much, the popular tonsorial artist, Mr. W. F. Howard who runs an up-to-date barber shop in the basement of the Loan and Trust building got in a talking mood this morning. Sometime last night a thief en- tered Mr. Howard’s shop, by the way of a window on court alley, and relieved the eash drawed of something like $30, and made good his escape. Entranee to the shop Was ef- feeted by lowering the top sash of the window facing court alley. It was_a very easy matter for the person to lower himself into the shop from the sidewalk. The cash drawer was pried open and the thirty dollars taken, although nothing else was miss- ing. The amount stolen consti- tuted what Mr. Howard and his assistants had taken in for work since Wednesday. So far there is no clue as to the guilty parties, but the police have the matter in hand and may possi- bly land some one for the offense. Mr. Howard has just recently come here from Hickory, and runs one of the most up-to-date shops in the city, and is very popular among his many friends of the city. :-————-+~+ oe Lot of Produce Wagons.

Williams, a well known citi- zen was attacked near Pisgah church by an unknown person. knocked down and badly eut on the body. Mr. Williams stated that as he was passing through some woods, his assailant jumped from be- hind a tree, knocked him down and cut him several times. Taken by surprise, Mr. Williams had no chanee to protect himself at first, but after being cut, he knocked his assailant down and waited developments, but his waiting was in vain, for his assailant left as soon as he could get his feet. It is thought that the assailant was some party who had a grudge against Mr. Williams, and there is a possibility of some person of that locality being up in court at an early date to answer charges as preferred against them by Mr. Williams. Although it was very dark, Mr. Williams recognized some features about the man, by which he ean obtain a clue. ——_~++@>-o— WHERE TO WOESHIP.

Canvass by Election Board Shows That Kitchen’s Vote for Gover- nor Was 145,102 and Cox’s 107,760—Vote for Other State Officers Vary a Little. Raleigh, Nov. 27.—The state board of elections finds in the official canvass that the vote for governor give Kitchin, democrat. a majority of 37,342 over Cox, re- publican, te vote being 145,102 for Kitchin and 107,760 for Cox. The mapority of Governor Glenn, democrat four years ago was 49,- 256. Then the Democratic vote was 128,761 against 79,505 for Harris, Glenn’s republican oppo- nent. The vote in the recent election of other state officers, as thus can- vassed, gives Lieutenant Govern- or Newland, democrat 145,147; Toms, republican 107.851; Seere- tary of State Grimes, democrat. 1845,268, Thompson republican, 107,848; State Auditor . Dixon, democrat, 145,069; Wood, repub- liean, 107,848. The above vote shows that Kitchin received 16,341 more votes than Gleen received four years ago and that Cox received 28,255 more votes than Harris re- eeived four years ago. The dem- ocrats in the state made gains upon the whole in the state and while this is so the republicans made nearly twice the number of votes gain, thus cutting down the democratic majority. We ven- ture the assertion that the repub- licans got this year a better turn out of their vote than they will ever be able to make soon again. The educational clause of the con- stitutional amendment takes ef- fect after this election and this one fact made the republicans stir themselves to get all their folks registered and when they became aroused they went out and regis- tered and they also voted. —__++@>»____ CARNEGIE SAYS DIVIDE.

Washington, Nov. 27.—That the republican leadership of the house of representatives plans to pass a bill revising the tariff in conformi- ty with the platform pledges of the party, and in consonance with the demands of the interests affected and for the benefit of the whole people, is the substance of a state- ment made last night by Repre- sentative Sereno E. Payne, chair. man of the house committe on ways and means committee. Chair- man Payne declared that in enter- ing upon the task of revising the tariff the committee had mae elaborate plans long in advance, and had begun comprehensive in- quiries to ascertain facts that would enable it to proceed inteli- gently and for the best interest of all concerned. Furthermore, he asserted, the schedule of hearing undcr which the comfnission is now working al- lowed more than double the time ever allotted by any committee having a tariff measure under con- sideration. Mr Payne’s statement was brought out by an interview made public in St. Louis by James W. ‘VanCleave, president of the Na- tional Association of Manufactur- ers. He complained that few manufacturers had been invited to offer testimony, and that inade- quate notice of hearings was given. Further, he said that committee members showed by questions put to witnesses that they were, as a general proposition, opposed to a reduction. Mr. VanCleave charg- ed that, as the commiittee is now proceeding, it meant that a bill would be passed providing for a “besus revision.’ “‘Theresis not a single republi- can member of the committee who is not committed andwiko_does not intend to revise the tariff, soar as in accordance with our pledge,’’ said Chairman Payne. JNO. D’S ADVICE He Advises Young Men Not to Try to Get all They Can, But to Strive to Do Effective Work in The World. New York, Nov. 28.—The limit- ed scope of money has taught John D. Rockefeller, the richest trades- man in the world, that ‘‘it ig bet- ter to give than to receive.”? ‘At least, so he declares in an article on the difficult art of giving, which will be given to the public in De- cember number of the World’s Work. The intrinsic value of mon- ey, he believes, is as nothing and any attempt to prevent its use to the satisfaction of inordinate desires, can bring only pain to its possessors. ‘“Do not begin your business career with the idea of getting from the world, by hook or crook, all you can,’’ he advises young men.

There is one fact to be observed that has come out of the last elec- tion and that is the progressive element in the United States Sen- ate will be increased after the fourth of next March. The New York World in discussing this sub- ject gives the following facts to) wit : The Iowa Legislature answers the question ‘‘Shall the people rule?”’ by electing to the United States Senate, as the successor of the late Senator Allison, Gov. Al- bert B. Cummins, leader of the re- form wing of the Iowa Republ- cans. Gov. Cummins is pledged to advanced triff revision and cor- poration regulation, and his elec- tion is a direct response to popu- progressive sentiment. The people of Kansas gave their answer before the question was les they substituted Joseph L. Bristow for Chester I. Long. If the Oregon Republican Legis- lature keeps its pledges and obeys the popular mandate Gov. Georg« E. Chamberlain, —twice-elected Demoeratie reformer, will succecd Republican Senator Fulton. In both Dakotas the present sen- atorial incumbents have been re- pudiated for men of more radical views. Senator Kittridge, leader of the South Dakota stalwart Re- publiecans, will be succeeded by Gov. Crawford, leader of the pro- gressives. In North Dakota Sen- ator Hansbrough is to be retired to private life. In Missouri, where the reaction- ary Democratie forces beat the progressives by nominating Sena- tor Stone over Gov. Folk, there are premonitions ofa revolt which threatens to deprive Stone of the fruits of victory. Although Folk was personally defeated in the primaries he carried the legisla- ture. Folk legislators outnumber Stone legislators néarly 2 to 1 and indications of frauds and tricks under the imperfect primary law point to an investigation, in which event a better representative of the state’s sentiment than Stone may possibly be elected. : emenway, of Indiana, will in all likelihood be succeeded by John W.-Kern, a radical Democrat, and Foraker’s successor in Ohio will not be an attorney for the Stand- ard Oil Company. Thus even the United States senate, the legislative body furth- er removed from popular control, constitutinally created and tradi- tionally regarded as the bulwark of conservatism, prompily re- sponds to the popular will. The notable gains of the progressive elements of the West, not only in senatorial primaries but through State legislatures without direct mandate, are convicing proof of popular rule in this country. —~———-9- 4 >-———_ — HONEST REVISION OF THE. a TARIFF. Many of the newspapers of the | country at large have been sur- prised at the announcement by leading Republicans in favor of an-“‘honest revision of the tariff.’’ The phrase ‘‘honest revision’? is an admission by the Republicans tofore have not taken them seri- tariff reform. ‘The republican party is a protective tariff ridden organization and it has taught its: the doctrine that the prosperity of the people depended upon a of the party firmly believe it and the industrial element of that party have so long fried the fat of the public by the system of high protection they. know their pros- perity depends upon it, therefore. we cannot see how honest revision can come through this party. President-elect Taft may be hon- est as some Democratic papers contend, in his views, in behalf of revision, but it must be remem- bered that Mr. Taft is a protec- ‘|tionist reared and taught in this school of thought and when he speaks of an ‘‘honest he speaks as a protectionist el: ct- ed by a people that favors pro- tection and a party that has pro- mulgated this doctrine all its life. If Mr. Taft should undertake to give the country an ‘‘honest revision’’ of the tariff he would dig out the foundation sill of his | party and arouse such resentment and stalwart opposition in his party and from the tariff honors as to cause its overthrow. We are of those who see no real hope of a tariff revision that will bring substantial relief from the burdens of tariff taxation that bear down so sorely upon the peo- ple. revision’ —— +> —__ Cheerfulness in Narrowing Cir- cumstances. It is comparatively easy to be pleasant and cheerful when our bread-and-butter problem is solv- ed, when we are strong and healthy, when we have harmon- ious, comfortable homes and mon- ey In the but the test of character comes when there is a family to support, when a wife and little ones are looking to us for bread and clothing, and the wolf is pretty near the door; when we are struggling -against poor bank; health, a discordant home. a dis: honest partner. It is a very difii- cult thing to be cheerful and hope- ful when a man is out of a job, with no money in the bank, and an invalid wife and children depend- ing upon him. It is comparatively easy to be optimistic when the &ranary is full, when there are no clouds on the horizon, but a very difficult thing to be hopeful and cheerful when the eapital is small and bus- iness poor. It is hard to be opti- mistic when notes and bills re ecom- ing due and there is no money to pay for goods which lie unsold on the shelves. At is easy to smile when we are well and everything is citing our way, but when everything goes wrong with us, when undergoing misfortunes or hardships, when those near to us are sick and in dis- tress, when poverty pinches, when the flour is getting low in the bar- rel, and hungry children look long- ingly into one’s face, then it is not so easy to smile, to give the cordial handshake, to be serene, balaneed, and poised. But this is Just the time that real character. that fine training, will stand one in good stead —Suecess Magazine. A A Where There’s a Will, A week before the Christmas holidays a Prinecton undergradu- ate who lived in Chicago wished to start home, thus gaining a week’s vaeation on the other stu- dent’s. He had, however, used up allthe absences from recita- tions which are allowed. and any more without good exeuse would have meant suspensin. In a quandary he hit upon this solu- tion: he telegraphed his father the following message: “Shall I come home by the B. & O., or straight home?”’ . The answer hereceived read: “Come straight home.’’ An exhibition of the telegram to the faculty was sufficient.—So- leeted. —————++@>>—__ If you haven’t the time to exercise regularly, Doan’s Regulets will pre- vent constipation.

Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 28—The last ray of hope for the rescue of any one of the 125 or more miners who were entombed by’an explo- sion at the Mariana mines of the Pittsburg Buffalo Coal Company shortly before noon today was dispelled at 8.30 p. m., tonight when the first rescuing party reached the workings and found tha dead bodies scattered about the floor of the mine. Few, if any, of the bodies are mutilated and the men were un- doubtedly smothered by the dead- ly vapors which followed the ex- plosion. The bodies have not yet been counted, but it is known that there ara at least 125 and the number may be larger. All but two of the bodies in the mine, it is said, are those of foreigners. No effort has yet been made to remove the bodies from the mine. Instead of the rescuers and the mining experts are making a com- plete exploration of all the work- ings to see if they are now safe. This work is expected to occupy saveral hours. The workings in which today’s catastrophe happened is known as the Rachel and Agnes mines, in reality a double mine with un- derground eonnections. Construe- tion work was practically finish- ed and Deputy State Mine Inspee- tor Henry Loutlit a few minutes before the explosion had ¢omplet- ed a two-days inspection which had revealed no cause for appre- hension. JTe and General Mana- ger Kerr, of the company, came to the surface in the cage opera- ted in one of the shafts a few min- utes before 1 o’clock. Henry Thompson and two miners enter- ed the cage and it was started to- wards the bottom of the 500-foot shaft. There was an omnious ramble, then a trembling of the eround, round about the mouth. of the shaft as from an earthquake and an instant later there was a terrifie report and the cage was hurled up the shaft and through the roof of the shaft house, the mine forman and the two men still in it. The bodies of the men were hurled through the top of the building and far beyond it. Thompson was dead when picked up. while. the others, although mortally injured, were hurried to a hospital. Shattered portions of the wood- work about the mouth of shaft were blown from the shaft and 2.000 feet from the shaft. Por- tions of at least two other bodies wereb lown from the shaft and were found in the field nearby The ventilating ‘fans were put out of commission by the explosion and for several hours no air could bef orced into the mine. Imme- diately following the explosion a dense volume of smoke issued from the shafts but ceased a short times afterwards. Reseue work was immediately started but it was impossible to gain entrance to the mine for a ——— ar — MR. J. A. BECKHAM DEAD. Died After a2 Long DineSs—Sur- vived by Wife and Six Children —Was Steward in His Church for 40 Years, Mr. J. A. Beckham, a prominent and highly esteemed citizen of the Stony Point seetion just over the Iredell line in Alexander county, died Saturday evening, after hav- ing suffered for some weeks from a stroke of paralyssis. Mr. Beckham was 70 years, one month and 20 days old and was a Confederate veteran. He is eur- vived by his wife and six children as follows: Mr. W. F. Beckham, of Sher- man, Tex., Mrs. S N Rufty, Mrs. Elmore Patterson and Mrs. James Miller, all married and living near him. Two. single daughters, Misses Mollie and Beulah lived at the old home. He was an uncle by marriage of Messrs. W. R., J. L. and R. L. Sloan and T. F. White of this city. Mr. Beckham has always lived an upright and Christian life, hav- ing for the past forty years of his life been steward of the Methodist church at Stony Point, of which he was a member. _Funeral services were conduct- ed from his residence yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock, and the in- terment was at the Stony Point graveyard, Rev.

Miss Lapinsky, of Asheville, who has been the guest of Mrs. William Wallace for a few days, returned to her home this morn- ing. long time. The opening up of the shaft was the only solution and for this task there were vol- unteers in numbers. Relief parties on special trains from fhis city carried the chief officers of the company and min- ing experts from the United States laboratory and testing station re- cently established here, who took with them all of the latest appli- ances and devices for rescue work. Several experienced miners de- eended the steps inside the shaft and sueceeded in reaching the bot tom. Here they wound further progress barred because the later- al heading from the bottom of the shaft into the mine proper was choked with muck and debris. The largest possible force was at once put to work to open this passage. There was practically no hope from the first of any of the en- tombed men being taken out alive, but this did not deter the most strenuous efforts to hurry the opening of the mine.

Washington, Nov. 29.—Con- gress will face a deficit in the im- migration fund by reason of the extraordinary expenditure by the ‘immigration commission, which has been carrying on its work under on indefinite appropriation The money to defray the expen- ses of the commission, which has been {conducting investigation, into all phases of the immigra- tion question, been drawn from the regular immigration fund. When authority for this proce- dure was given by congress to the commission it was not an- ticipated that the expenses would be heavy enough to embarrass the bureau of iramigration of the department of commerce and la- bor. Last year the commission expended about $75,000. The drafts upon theimmigration fund for this year thus far have been on the basis of annnal expendi- ture of about $300,000. Immigration commissioners at the principal ports of the United States are being hampered seri- ously, it is asserted, owing tothe money shortage. It is likely that a congressional inquiry into the work of the commission will be ordered. — => {( Ore Twentieth Century Club Meets, The XXth Century Club with a few guests was delightfully enter- tained at its last meeting by Miss Martha Moore at her home on Walnut street.

Discussing the political situa- tion in North Carolina from a Demoeratic standpoint, as_ the conditions are shown to be from the recent election, it would be well if a little plain talk was in- dulged im by the sober headed and wise men of the party today. There is no disguising of the fact that if there is to be a continu- ance in North Carolina of cam- paign methods on the part of those who aspire to position in the party, in which they assail their fellow Demoerats with vitupera- tion and charge of unquestionable methods that the day is not far distance when the party nomina- tions will be worthless, and the Democratic press must ery out against such methods and preach more party loyalty and teach feal- ty to party conventions and party counsels if they expect the Demo- cratic party to continue in the as- cendenecy in North Carolina. No party can live long when it’s members are at war one against the other and when the party or- gans teach disloyalty to it’s or- ganizations and the arbitratement of it’s conventions. We have had much of both of these conditions in North Carolina and the recent events that have taken place in our midst should give a lesson in it, to every Democrat who loves his party and his party principals. No man will gain say that it is best for the Democratic party to have in it’s hands the govern- mental affairs of this state, and no mam will deny that when the Republicans are in ascendency the state was in a horrible condition. Then where is a reason that would cause any Democrat to do things and preach doctrine that would tend to overthrow his party and put in the aseendeney the Repub- lican party. We have always be- lieved that Democrats should have as much fidelity for their eonvie- tions as any republican. The Demoeratie party has given North Carolina a glorious history. Three things it has given to the State namely, the Constitutional amend- ment, education and temperance and as long as it continues in sim- ilar work it should be a guaran- tee of its remaining in control of the affairs of this state. If the party has made any mistakes, they have been remarkably few and of little consequence. So then as Democrats let us start a new era in the state of North Carolina in the settlement of our differences, let us go about it in @ way that will not be hurt- ful # ourselves, our fellow dem- oerats and to our party. Let us look forward to the good of party and less to selfish ambition. -Let us look to the industrial condi- tions of the state more than our selfish interests. Let us conduct our campaigns upon a_ broad statesman lke plan, instead of in personal strife.

It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches aad pains that afflict humanity; they must “keep up,” must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. they must walk and bend and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of the body. Keep the kidneys well and health is easily maintained. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that helps and cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know. Mrs. M.L Moose, living at 209 Boulevard St., Statesville, N. C., says: “For several years I was a vic- time of weak kidneys. I had a soreness across these organs most of the time and I generally felt weak. Dizzy spells and headaches were of frequent occurrence, and at night I was unable to obtain my proper rest. The kidney secretions were also un- natural in appearance, and showed that my kidneys were at fault. I used a number of remedies but Doan’s Kidney Pills, which I procur- ed at Hall’s drug store, benefited me more than any of the others. I sin- cerely hope that other sufferers will give Doan’s Kidney Pills a trial as I know they will act strictly up to their representations. ’” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

SWEEP ON A MILE A MINUTE. Like the Roar, the Roll and the Rattle ) Of a Great Battle Is the Noise of the Exploding Stalks That Sometimes Shoot High Into the Air, When the forests are afire, when the smoke makes dusk at noon and reddens the harvest moon a thousand miles away, there is the measure of a conflagration. When the prairies burn, as they used to before farms had crept in upon the endless miles of grass, there was a fire which ran like mad and left behind it a blackened trail of death. If one could combine the speed of the prairie fire with the tumult of the blazing forest, that would be a fire indeed. Such a combination is effected when the bamboo groves catch fire. The bamboo is but a grass, a grass with the height of a tree, swaying stems reaching 100, even 150, feet in air. In Cambodia, where the bamboo groves along the rivers cover the space of forests, it is no unusual thing for fires to break out and Sweep all before them for many miles. If the summer has been dry the bamboo turns sear and inflammable as any grass. All that is needed ts a spark; then ruin runs red. It is not necessary to Tely upon the carelessness of the Woodsman to start the blaze. The bamboo can kindle itself. Let two swaying stalks of dry bam- boo be set in motion by the breeze, let Ohe rub across the other long enough, and the friction will set the spark, and the long dry leaves will feed the flame. It is known that many fires of the bamboo forests thus originate. Per- haps it was from observing such a Sight that primitive man learned the Promethean secret. That theory has been advanced. As soon as a flame in the bamboos has crept to the level of the tossing tips it spreads like wildfire. The wind carries a sheet of flame along the grove at tremendous speed. Some observers say that such fires have been seen to move forward at the rate of more than &@ mile a minute. Seen from below, it looks as if she sky had burst into an instant flash of flame. From such a burst of fire there could be no escape. Fortunately it passes high overhead at the tops of the bam- boos. It serves as a warning to the traveler who may be making his way along some one of the water courses by which the forest is intersected. The bamboo itself is almost an obstacle to travel of any sort. It is well nigh im- possible to force a way through it ex- cept by the slow and toilsome labor of hewing out a path. The fire in the great trunks moves more slowly, and if warning be taken it may be possible to sink one’s boat and throw up wet herbage and clay against the bank of the stream to pro- vide shelter until the furnace blast has blown by. Such a fire in the bam- boo has not only the speed of the prai- rie fire on its sweep overhead, but it has the same volume of fuel as is found in any forest fire. It combines the two types. Bamboo forest fires have another quality which is all their own. They bang and rattle with thunderous crashes, as of artillery fire, without cessation. The stalks of these tree bamboos are frequently more than a foot in diame- ter. Near the ground the joints are close together; in the younger growth the nodes may be several feet apart. But, long or short as they may be, each joint of the sun dried baraboo is a tightly sealed chamber filled with air. The partitions between the-cavities are singularly tough; the outside rind of the stalks is almost pure fiint. When the blast of the flame sweeps onward the air im the stalks upon which it is driven is suddenly heated to a very high temperature. The resid- uum of moisture which may be in the stems is immediately transformed into steam and at once subjected to super- heating, thus becoming a violent explo- sive. As the hot breath of the flame becomes hotter these joints burst with loud cannon discharges. Sometimes the force of the explosion near the roots is so great as to shoot the stalk like a javelin high into the air, where it flashes into torchlike flame and is carried by the wind to spread wider disaster. The bursting of the smaller joints is like the roll and rattle of rifles and machine guns. The effect 1s that of a battle hotly contest- ed.— Washington Post. An Aquatic Outfielder. One day a ship was lying at anchor at Boca Grande when the crew ob- served a dolphin chasing a flying fish, both coming directly toward the ship. On nearing the vessel the filer arose in the air and passed over the bow just abaft the foremast. As it did so the dolphin went under the ship and, coming up on the other side, sprang from the water and caught the flying fish on “the fiy” just as it was curving gracefully down in its descent to the water.—Punta Gorda Herald.

The Daring Scheme That Was Worked by a German Doctor. Near a small village in one of the lake states lived a western millionaire and a few servants. The child was af. flicted with a rare cerebro spinal com- Plaint, a most unpleasant manifesta- tion of which was a frequent hic- cough, and eminent physicians, both in America and Europe, had pronounc- ed the case organic and incurable. Later there came to live in the vil- lage a widow with a little girl affected similar to the millionaire’s daughter. This child was a delicate, flower faced creature, wistful from the isolation that must have been her sad lot, and the peculiar bark-like hiccough which sie made at once attracted the mil- lionaire’s attention, and, being a big hearted if rather ignorant man, he gave the mother employment about his home and showered the afflicted child with presents. Perhaps four months aftér the wid- ow’s advent an eccentric German doc- tor settled in the village, and, his serv- ices being sought by the widow, he gave her child treatment, with the re- sult that it was completely cured. The milionaire immediately sought to place his own daughter under the German’s ¢are, but the latter flatly re- fused to take the case. He was a Socialist of a violent type and would have nothing to do with a man whose wealth exceeded the sum that he had fixed upon as the lawful limit of ma- terial possession. Finally, however, after the father had patiently borne the grossest in- Sults the German agreed to give the affiicted child treatment on condition that the other would first deed over a large tract of land in Texas for a So- Cialist colony and pay him for his fee & sum little short of $50,000. This the millionaire did, but as soon as the doc- tor had cashed the check he disappear- ed with thé widow and her child, and the wealthy man realized that, blinded by paternal love, he had been made the victim of an ingenious swindle. The flower faced girl of the widow ad been taught to simulate a disease, and the German was no doubt her father. He was subsequently located in Buenos Aires, but he injured man, not wishing his daughter’s affliction published broadcast, dropped the pros- ecution.—Don Mark Lemon in Bohe- Mian Magazine. EXECUTING MAZEPPA. Peter the Great’s Odd Way of Punish- ing a Deserter. Peter the Great, czar of Russia, pun- ished a traitor on a notable occasion in & way that the numerous victims of the present czar’s wrath might well wish were still in vogue. Mazeppa, chieftain of the Cossacks, Had deserted to the king of Sweden, With whom Peter was at war. Ma- “weppa was at once tried by court mar- fial and found guilty of high treason. Sentence of death was passed upon him. Mazeppa, however, was safely in the camp of the Swedish king, but this fact was not permitted to stand in the way of the carrying out of every part of the sentence. A wooden effigy of Mazeppa was made, and the punish- ments were inflicted upon the Cossack chieftain’s substitute. The effigy was first dressed in Ma- zeppa’s uniform, and upon its breast were pinned all of the medals, ribboiis and other decorations that the real cul- prit had worn. While the commanding general and & squadron of cavalry stood near an officer advanced to the wooden man and read the sentence. Then another officer wrehched off the effigy’s patent of knighthood and his other decora- tions, tore them up and trampled upon them. This done, he struck the wood- en gentleman a powerful blow in the pit of the stomach, knocking him over. Next a hangman appeared. While the soldiers shouted he threw a noose over the imitation Mazeppa’s head and drag- ged the effigy to a nearby gallows, where it was “hanged by the neck until it was dead.”—Scrap Book. Could Handle a Shovel. The foreman 6f a Chicago iron mill once employed a tramp who had been a college baseball champion. Their acquaintanée began in a way that showed the tramp still to be game and cheery. It was a cold autumn dawn, ahd the tramp had slept in front of a furnace on a warm stone. The fore- man, being short of laborers, on his Morning tour of inspection spied the fellow and thought he would give him & job. “My man,” he said, “can you do any- thing with a shovel?’ ie “Well, I could fry a piece of ham on it.”—Minneapolis Journal.

Taft May Put Obstacle in His Way —Republicans Feel That Such a Step is Necessary. Washington, Nov. 29.—There is very grave concern among repub- lican party leaders over the possi- bility that President-elect Taft may feel called upon to use his in- fluence in an attempt to prevent the re-election of Joseph G. Can- non as speaker of the house. That such an attempt would be highly injurious to the party is conceded without question. But there are those close in the confidence of the president-elect who believe it would be much more injurious not to make the attempt. The unopposed re-election of Cannon means, in the judgment of those who are advising Mr. Taft to oppose him, that it will be im- possible for the new administra- tion to secure any substantial pro- gressive legislation at the hands of congress; means that the pro- posed revision of the tariff will not be such as to satisfy the country; that other remedial measures to which the president-elect is pledg- ed will be smothered in committee or passed in emasculated form. A sueeessful fight against Cannon might make possible the passage of measures that otherwise would fail, but it would leave in the house a sullen and revengeful re- publican minority to embarrass the administration. An unsuc- cessful fight against the speaker would leavethe new administra- tion at its very beginning hope- ly diseredited and impotent to re- deem any of the pledges for rem- edial legislation made by Mr. Taft. The president-elect at the part- ing of the ways, and has got to de- cide which road he will travel. None of them promises a pleasant journey. Two weeks ago repub- licang were congratulating them- selves that the new administra- tion was to begin under such aus- picious circumstances, the presi- dent-elect having the confidence of the country and, it was believ- ed, assuréd of the loyal and har- monious support of his party’s leaders in congress. There was talk even then that it might be- come necesary for Mr. Taft to op- posé the election of Cannon, but the talk was not taken seriously. The president-elect continued to smile, and it seeméd that all the political skies smiled with him. But the germ of trouble already was on the job, getting in his deadly work. Interviews given out by leading house republicans, Cannon’s lieutenants, did not in- dicate such a revision of the tariff as Mr. Taft believed the republi- eam party had promised. This was discouraging, but not necessa- rily alarming. There remained the possibility that these former stand-patters might be made to see the error of their way. But here entered a new element, an unthought of one, one with which there seemed to be no way to eope. From the tone of editorial utterances in republican and inde- pendent newspapers throughout the country, and from reports earried personally and by mail to Mr. Taft at Hot Springs, it began to grow apparent that the country was going to be suspicious of and dissatisfied with any tariff bill passed under the auspices of Speaker Cannon, Sereno E. Payne, John Dalzell and the other pow- ers- that-be in the house of repre- sentatives, in 690-operating with Aldrich, Hale and other ‘‘reeac- tionaries”’ in the senate.

This morning Kallebron was taken to headquarters, after he had been at the station house over night. Since his capture, when he tried also to kill Policeman Jobn F. Barry, the murderer has been in iron. Kallebron stoically said he did not remember anything about the killing of his mother and brother until the coroner confronted him. ‘‘Why did you shoot?’’ he was asked. ‘‘Beeause my brother was a big- ger man than I am,”’ he replied. The murderer has none of the marks of the degenerate. He is a product of the enviroment he chose for himself. He is. a pipe worker by trade and a proficient one, but of late years has been a never-dio well. His father had a fondness for him and believed he would reform and on his death bed had asked his wife to eare for the boy and do what she could to reform him. It was his request that unless absolutely necesssary the door never should be closed againt him and it was not. eome to the house and his demands for clothes and money were hon- ored as they would have been had they been requested, but the fan:- ily was poor and there kad at times, to be explanations and en- peals to him. Last night he again eame around. He wanted money. The mother told him there was a bed for him and a chair at the table and a share of everything they had, but rent time wus ap- proaching and nwoney she had not to give him. The son became en- raged. He insisted on having money. His younger brother, Leopold, tried to calm him but he eursed his mother then Leopold said he must apologize or leave. In answer he whipped out a re- volver and fired three shots at Leopold, the first striking him in the mouth, the second in the left Time and time again he had }} f breast and the third, as he reeled about the little flat, crashing through the back of his head and | killing him. The old mother, running with terror, sought the rear room of the house. As she swung the door to the hall William again pulled the trigger of the revolver and the bullet struck her in the back. She screamed and steadied her self by the door and twice again the son shot at her and she fill dead. Then having slain both his mother and brother, the murderer fled| With the revolver still in his hand and smoking, he ran to- ward Eighth avenue pursued by many persons. At the corner of Eighth avenue stood Barry, a po- liceman. He caught the man as he raced by. Kallebron turned on him and tried to shoot him, but all six chambers of his revolver were empty and after a struggle in which Barry was severely cut by the man he was captured. Ambulances were summoned and Kallebron: taken to the scene of the tragedy where he looked upon the bodies of his mother and brother. Mrs. Kallebron was 58 years old. She, her husband and eldest son, the murderer, came to this coun- try from Russia about 30 years ago. Leo was born here. He was twenty-eight and an athlete. —_———~++@>>-o—_— If you haven’t the time to exercise regularly, Doan’s Regulets will pre- vent constipation.
