POSITION All the Members, it is Said, are Un- alterably Opposed to Violence in Any Form—Next Saturday’s Meet- ing—An Interesting Interview. Much interest is being manifest- ed in the meeting of the Iredell County Farmers’ Union which is to be held at the court house next Sat- urday. As already stated in these columns several matters of unusual import- ance are to come up for action, among them the reports of the ferti- lizer and warehouse committees. Most important of all, however, is the action it willl take on the threats recently made against some of the yinners of the state. There are those of course, who are opposed to the Union and some of the remarks they have been making about “secret or- ders” are not only unkind but seem io indicate a general ignorance on their part, of the truge situation. Mr. C. N. Brown, a prominent member of the Rowan Farmers’ Union was in town today and in speaking of the appearance of Night Riders in North Carolina said: “There seems to be an idea prev- alent in Salisbury and some parts of iredell county, and in fact throughout North Carolina as well, that the Night Riders who have been figuring conspicuously in Kentucky, and Ten- nessee, and more recently making their appearance in this state, are the offspring of the Farmers’ Union. As a member of the union I desire to disabuse the minds of the people in the matter. The-Farmers’ Co-Opera- tive Union has no part nor sympathy with the movement nor. any other species of lawlessness. On the con- trary the union stands for law and order, and the betterment, not only of the farmers, but of all other classes of citizens.”’ “In evidence that the Union is not in league with but condemns the Night Riders, at a meeting of a union in the Providence section of Mecklen- burg county as late as last Friday night strong resolutions were adopt- ed in denunciation of such breaches of the law. This is a forerunner of stronger and more drastic resolutions which will be adopted at the county union In Mecklenburg the coming Saturday. Rowan will doubtless fol- low Mecklenburg at its next county meeting, December 5th, and so will other counties which have unions. “The Night Rider movement, it is believed, is inspired by enemies of the organization. “Mr. G. F. Houck, president of the Rowan County Union is the owner of a large ginnery, and if the union fa- vored the destruction of his plant, if he operated it, as was the warning by Night Riders to Mr. W. L. Osmond, of Besesemer City, Friday night, he would, it is reasonable to believe, be deposed and dismissed from the or- ganization.” This statement by Mr. Brown is a plain one and it is to be noped that it will set the public right, as show- ing that the Farmers’ Union has no connection, whatever, with any so called “regulator” schemes. —— Declined the Invitation. The Iredell Blues have received an invitation from the managers of the big centennial celebration to be held at Greensboro this month, inviting them to Greensboro October 13th to take part in the celebration. Capt. Deitz took the matter under advisement and concluded that as it would probably be impossible to get & sufficient number of the men to- gether to make a good showing it was better to decYine the invitation. The 13th is circus day in States- ville. —_——H ooo Mrs. Cox is Better. The gratifying news comes from the hospital at noon today that the condition of Mrs. J. D. Cox is much improved. It was said that she was very com- fortable last night and today ‘ore hope is expressed for her ultimate recovery. ——~++eare—_—— Gov. Glenn will speak at the Court House Friday at 2 p. m.

Raleigh, Sept. 30.—Speakers of national reputation have been assign- ed to North Carolina during October, which wil add much to the life of the campaign Democracy is waging with every assurance of success in the state and in the nation as well. Prob- ably the most prominent feature of the state campaign will be the ap- pearance of Hon. Jno. W. Kern. Dem- ocratic nominee for Vice-President, at Guilford Battle Ground, near Greensboro, Oct. 6th, which is to be made a great national occasion. He speaks also at Asheville on the 5th, and on the 7th during the Piedmont fair at Winston-Salem. Mr. Kern is measuring up to all that could be hoped for in Vice-Presidential timber, atid the more he is known the more he grows in public favor. He is mak- ing a fine campaign that will have its affect. Hon. John Sharpe Williams, leader of the minority in congress and nominated by his state for the senate, will speak at Newbern Octo- ber 3rd. Hon. Ollie James, who made more fame for himself as an convention than any one else, will make some _ speeches in the state. Hon. Henry D. Clayton of Alabama will speak in North Carolina October 3rd, and Hon. A. O. Bacon, state sen- ator from Georgia, has been assigned to the State for October 5th to 10th. These appointments have been fixed by national headquarters. The Democrats are taking nothing for granted, and have prosecuting a fine campaign throughout every town- ship. They are not trying to run this year’s campaign on past years’ votes. Even upon the settled question of Prohibition, dissentions are vanish- ing. The North Carolina sense of fair play is evidenced, as it is ex- plained, by Hon. W. A. Self, that it has been settled in accordance with the over-shadowing issue of the times, ‘‘Shall the People Rule?” ‘On this question the people have ruled,’’ says Mr. Self who opposed Prohibi- tion, “and although I was defeated on this question, I was defeated by the properly expressed will of the people of the state, and with me that settles it. I intend to show that 1 am as good a Democrat as any man who voted for Prohibition, and (hu- morously) expect to confine my re- sentment to refusing my Prohibition friend a drink when he is thirsty, by telling him he has made it too hard to get.”” It is doubted if Hon. Cy Watson has even that much feeling left, while Hon. Walter Murphy is entertaining large gatherings with discussions of the tariff with as much humor as if no drought were in sight, ator. By the nomination of a Prohi- bitionist at the head of the Repub- lican ticket and the omission of the question from their platform, it is left where it pre-eminently belongs— outside the pale of party politics, and as the sovereign people of the state have settled it. The Democrats do not have to de- pend upon the race issue to carry this election. Its record needs no appeal to any outside issue to uphold it. Though when the Republicans come around with their pretensions of regeneration and imported respect- ability, it is entirely permissible to rub some of the whitewash off by re- minding .them that they havea Thompson and a Mewborn and a But- ler on their ticket as a reminder of 706, and that their candidate for governor, intended to shed character over the whole bunch, has specifically endorsed the Republican National platform, which denounces unequivo- cally the letter and spirit of our Con- stitutional Amendment in the follow- ing language: “We declare once more and with- out reservation for the enforcement of the letter and spirit of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution, which are designed for the advancement and protection of the negro; and we condemn all de- vices which have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color alone, as unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the Jand.”’ Hon. Lee S. Overman has gotten into the campaign again and will give his entire time until the election. The people in reach of his appoint- ments should not fail to hear him. This correspondent heard his speech ally invited to hear him. in Wake county last week, which was and with as much fine logic as a sen- | Statesville, N. C., Thursday Evening, October 1, 1908. an able discussion of state and na- tional issues, pitched upon a high plane, and in all respects worthy of a great senator. His re-election next winter seems to be unchallenged ex- cept by the suggestion that if the leg- islature should be Republican-the senator would Adams—‘“Judge’”’ Adams, if you please—whom to name is enough. k Senator Simmons at an early day will entér the campaign with all his eloquence and power on the stump. Hon. Champ Clark of Missouri, will speak in the state the 22-23-24. Another National campaigner, Hon. Lee Merriweather, has been as- signed to North Carolina for the 12 to 17th. Developments in the national cam- paign during the past week have no doubt in literal fact contributed to the gaiety of nations, and in their ap- peal for appropriate description have been a reminder of the language used by the Methodist preacher in this state in describing a particular on- slaught against the Morally Stunted as “a bomb thrown into the ante chambers of hell, to the stirring up of the rattlesnakes. That expression doesn’t fit, but to some extent it sat- isfies. The president of the United States haS assumed the roll of active orator in the Democratic National ; campaign manager for his candidate, Taft and given his endorsement to the unsupported Hearst charges against C. N. Haskell, governor of Oklahoma and treasurer of the Na- tional Démocratic committee. He not only tried to crush this governor of a great state without a hearing, but used the charges against this one man as a basis of attack against the integrity of Mr. Bryan and his party, charging that “the opposition to Mr. Taft” was being dominated by the Standard Oil Co. This charge brought back from Mr. Bryan, with the speed of electricity, the direct challenge to Mr. Roosevelt to furnish the proof of his charge, which the president surely should not have made without having some proof, and also serving notice on him that the Democrats proposed to have a square deal, whether the campaign be run by the president or by a private citizen. This, at least, was a smal sized bomb, which exploded with sufficient force to summon a meeting of the entire cabinet. The answer prepared on the advice of the cabinet abandon- ed the charge of criminality against Governor Haskell and dwindled into a frenzied criticism of the official acts of the governor, some of which the governor has answered with ap- parent satisfaction and the most seri- ous one of which he brought back and and laid right at the door of the White House, while the final answer of Mr. Bryan to the President is a genuine Georgia “subinder.”” In view of this final answer of Mr. Bryan’s, which every voter should not fail to read for himself in its en- tirety, this correspondent cannot see how any one can doubt that the re- sult of the national election is al- ready settled and the votes as good as counted. The development of weakness by Mr. Taft is undisputable, and the Big Stick lies so completely shattered into splinters that it’s only further use will be as a memento of “Folks I have sand-bagged.’’ EE — Internal Revenue CoHections.

Desperadoes Threaten to Burn It and Lynch its Citizens—Appeal for Help Sent to Governor Swanson— Armed Force to Give Battle to the Thomas-Zimmerman Band. Richmond, Va., Sept. 30.—Com- monwealth’s Attorney Edmund W. Hubard and Sheriff L. W. Williams left Arvonia yesterday with an armed force for the purpose of tracking iown the Thomas-Zimmerman gang of outlaws, now in hiding in fast- nesses between the James and Slate civers, and who, after threatening to burn the town of Arvonia and lynch the citizens, are prepared to resist ar- rest to the uttermost. The outlaws, 100 in all ,have for- tified a strong position, where they are now calmly awaiting the attack of the armed citizens. Their wives and other women folk are with them. Governor Swanson was yesterday ap- pealed to by wire to heip the citi- zens crush out the band. Fearing that the desperadoes may make an at- tack upon Arvonia, the women and children are being hastily removed to more protected communities. Spies of the outlaws are travers- ing the entire countryside ready to warn the leaders at the first ap- approach of the citizens’ forces. Mrs. Arthur Zimmerman, wife of the leader of the outlaws, and her sis- ter, Miss Burton, following the issu- ance of warrants for their arrest as accomplices, have joined the band in the woods. <A _ cordon of citizens is surrounding Arvonia tonight prepar- ed to shoot to killifan attack is made on the place. The outlaws are being led by Arthur and Benjamin Zimmerman and Wiliam and Charles Thomas, all of whom recently escap- ed fro mthe county jail. These fam- ilies have intermarried with the neighborhood families until a small army is in sympathy with the out- laws. The present trouble grew out of the shooting on Saturday night of F. W. Gregory, a wealthy citizen, who was instrumental in procuring the evidence on which the Zimmermans and Thomases were recently convict- ed. Unfortunately, one of the quar- tet was admitted to bail, he return- ing thereafter and assisting in liber- / ating his companions. The threats against Arvonia were then made. followe@ by the shooting of Gregory, the women, it is alleged, meeting htm o nthe road and giving the signal to their accomplices in the bushes. Gregory will die. The outlaws left a note in the jail stating that the next time they visited the place it wqnld be as corpses. They have terrorized the community for several years. They stand accused of many crimes. Tle leaders were joined by Samuel and William Zimmerman, of Albe- marle county, the latter going by way of Payne Station, from which point provisions for a long siege were dis- patched to the outlaw band. The place in which the outlaws are seclud- ed is densely wooded. It is said that it will require a large force of men to storm the place. There is not a citizen of Arvonia who is not afraid of being shot on sight. It is openly asserted that the little hamlet is in grave danger of being burned. The Zimmermans are known to be men who do not make idle threats. The following communication from Arvonia was addresed to Governor Swgnson today: ¢‘Conditions here intolerable. Gang of asassins strongly intrenched three miles away. One citizen shot in back; others threatened; county au- thorities appear powerless. We need detectives and blood-hounds. Can you come up?”’ Rev. Plummer Jones, a Presbyter- an minister at Arvonia, is personally in charge of the citizens’ pose. “‘I could kill any one of them without a pang of conscience,’ said Rev. Mr. Jones today. The minister was among those who received direct threats of lynching after the escape of the outlaw leaders. He was de- terred from filling an engagement in New Kent county on Sunday because his road would lead him through a section of the county inhabited by outlaw sympathizers. ————<4r oo —_—____— Mr. Ralph Sloan went to Taylors- WILL CANVASS CITY.

No. 325 Tobacco Men - liet Warnings TOLD TO POOL THEIR PRODUCT. Notified That if They Attempt to Sell it on the Warehouse Floor They May “Smell Fire.”—They are Much Alarmed About Mysterious Placards. Danville, Va., Sept. 30.—Indepen- dent tobacco growers residing in Cas- well county are much alarmed over the posting on the plantations of many prominent farmers notices warning them to pool their tobacco anda not to sell it on the warehouse floor. The notices were posted Monday night for a distance covering eight miles. One of them reads, ‘Pool your tobacco or you will smell fire.” Another, “‘Don’t sell your tobacco on che warehouse floor. If you do you must bear the consequences.”’ The placards were unsigned. The Bright Tobacco Growers’ Pro- tective Association of Virginia and North Carolina has for its plan to ad- vance the price of the tobacco, to do away with the public auction sales at the warehouses and to pool the crop. holding it and setting its own prices on it. This organization is opposed to any violence and to any but honest and legal methods. The notices have caused more excitement than usual on account of the fact that practically all of this season’s crop is now in the barn. << KILLED HIS TURKEY. Neighbors in the Suburbs Are in a Quarrell Over Untimely Death of a Big Fat Gobbler and Case May Reach the Courts. Among the visitors to the city this merning was Mr. W. P. Sharpe. Mr. Snarpe lives out on what is known at the Jim McLelland farm, four miles out of the city and this morning he was in anything but a peaceful state of mind. He had a grievance against one of his neighbors and from what he said it would seem that said grievance was more or less justified. Mr. Sharpe has a flock of fine tur- keys and claims that one of his neigh- bors, Tom Watt, wantonly killed his prize gobbler by throwing a rock at it. Then according to his story, Watt wrung its head off and threw the carcas over in his field. The turkey, it is said, was a tress- passer in a pea field owned by Watt. This morning Mr. Sharpe was look- ing up the law on the subject and dis- covered that he could probably have a warrant issuea@ for the arrest of his neighbor, charging cruelty to ani- mals. It is not known whether he decided to do so or not. - MR. T. P.

Roosevelt by his muck-raking has degraded the high office to which he was elected. He is no longer the president of all the people btu has become merely the partisan boss of the Republican party. Having de- scended into the filth and mire of ward politics he loses his identity as president and therefore can blame no one but himself when he becomes the target for the vituperation of the men he has prejudged and villified.” —_—~++@>-e—_____ An attempt at locomotive construc- tion is to be made in Japan.

The Williams Comedy Company continues to delight audiences at the opera house. This company contains on its mem- bership list some first class artists and there is no doubt but that the aggregation is deserving of a better patronage than it is receiving. Last night the bill was ‘“‘The Moon- shiner’s Sweetheart”? and there were many who said that it was the best production yet put on. Marie DeGafferelly was particular- ly good as Daisy, a flower in strange soil and as Tatters, Miss Besie Cur- ley, won new admirers. Maud Falson continues to be a favorite with Statesville .audiences as she always will be. The specialties are excellent and hew ones are produced each night. The bill for tonight will be “‘The Days of 61,” with a new program of specialties. —_—s* 1» —_—_—— A Call to Clubs.

C., says: “For sometime previous to using Doan’s Kidney Pills, I had felt miser- able, and could not find the source,of my trouble. Dull dizzy spelis caused me much suffering, and there was a severe pain across the small of my back. I felt generally languid and there was a noticeable lack of energy and ambition. I was finally advised to try Doan’s Kidney Pills, and im- mediately procured them at Hall’s drug store. They improved my con- dition in every way, and a_ further use brought about a complete cure.

Much Interest Was Manifested in the Case as Young Turner Was Well Known in Statesville——A Nephew of Hon. W. D. Turner. More than ordinary interest was manifested in the recent hazing epi- sode at Guilford College as Rodney Turner who had six of the students arrested on a charge of assault and battery has visited here and is well known in Statesville. He is a son of Hon. C. L. Turner of Monbo and a nephew of ex-Lieutenant Governor W. D. Turner of this city. Young Turner swore out the war- rants against six fellow students. At the trial the state examined only Rodney Turner, who testified that Tuesday night of last week, he went to the postoffice about eight o’clock and noticing a crowd of boys congre- gated together he became suspicious that it had come his time to get a hazing, that he had determined be- fore leaving home not to take it, and had put a pistol in his trunk with which to protect himself. Seeing this crowd, it occurred to him that he had better be prepared to defend himself in case of an attack. So he turned and went back to his room and put the pistol in his pocket. He came back to the store where there were about forty boys congregated as if; said a word. He then related how the attack began, one of the boys grabbing him from behind and pion- ing his arms, of how he broke loose and fired his pistol in the air to scare them off, how they stood off about a moment when some one again pioned him, while another grabbed his pistol After being disarmed, it was the old story; he got a pretty sound thrash- ing. He said the difference in the unusual dose that was given to the other boys with a paddle, he got on account of having had a pistol and showing fight a sounder and more painful drubbing with boards, barrel staves, plank and any old thing the hazers could get hold of in that back lot of that Guilford college store on that memorable night this September. The defense introduced only one witness, George Nichols. George de- clared he had nothing to do with the hazing ; he said when the boys crowd- ed around Turner and he saw they were going to give him his odes, he went up to him to protect him from it, and taking him by the arm re- marked to the boys: “This fellow has already had his’n.”’ This might have frightened Turner, George said, tor he at once “jerked” out his pistol and fired. ’Squire Collins took jurisdiction, dismissing the case as to John Whita- ker and Lowry Stafford. He fined Baxter Sellars ten dollars and costs and suspended judgment on George Nichols, Lon Coble and Sam Camp- bell upon payment of their part of the costs.’’ A warrant was then issued against Young Turner for carrying conceal- ed weapons and he was_ held for court, giving bond. ———_+<+ aro WILL SPEAK TO FARMERS.

Millsaps announces that he will accompany Sheriff Summers and the candidates on their coming trip to the various townships and on thesy occasions he hopes to meet as many of the farmers as posible. It would seem as though this would be a grand opportunity for farmers to “get next“ to this expo- nent of modern and up-to-date farm- ing. In a letter to the editor of The Mascot Mr. Millsaps says: “I expect to be with the county candidates on their round to the sev- eral townships and would be pleased to meet as maay of the farmers at these appointments as will go. I hope they will not think they are too busy to give me one half a day at this time as my time is theirs, and in or- der for me to help them, they must meet me on the half way ground. “J hope you will make this an- nouncement in The Mascot and urge the importance of their attending these meetings.” ———_++@-e——— Items From Faith.

Talks About the Tariff. The tariff question was put before his audience in so simple a way that as he said, ““The biggest fool in the crowd could understand.” Money is the only thing that can beat Bryan. It took $6,500,000 to beat him be- fore, $5,500,000 to beat Parker and office now, and are open to the in- spection of any one. No member, and no Republican asked to see these letters or requested a copy of them, cosets —hou ag the next ; State Libarion the trusts are willing to spend 20 to 40 million to beat Bryan again, but the American people are thinking as never before, and money will not buy as it formerly did. The republican party has no prin- ciples. It was born in a wave of hatred of the south. It has been a free silver party and a gold party, a iow tariff party and a high tariff party Four years ago the Republi- scans were talking about the full din- aer pail, and said they were respon- sible for the good times. Do you near them getting good times now? Are they not in power now just as they were then. We don’t feel the panie here so much, but there are 390,000 idle box cars standing on the tracks, 30,000 engines with no fire in them, and 200,000 idle men walking the streets of the great cities beg- ging for work. Ex-Secretary Shaw, Republican, says it is the worst panic the world has ever seen. The Democratic platform says that bank depositors must be guaranteed so that they may always know their money is safe, The Republicans now say they will ‘‘revise’’ the tariff. Will they lower it or “higher” it? The tariff fosters and protects the great monopolies and trusts, which are corupting everything. They take 1 dollar out of your pocket and put it in another man’s. Tariff means tax, and the consumer always pays the tax. Out of every $100 worth of goods you buy $50 is tariff on an average. The Democrats are for a tariff for revenue only. They want the money collected to support the zovernment and not into the pockets of the rapacious trusts. duild up the state. ‘acord the Democratic party in North Sarolina needs no defense. He spoke of the carpet-bag rule, which brought humiliation and sorrow, when the white people were disfranchised and axed to death. The Republicans chen taxed every pound of cotton raised in the south 3 cents, and did not tax the farmerss of the north ind west.

The northern states had arrayed themselves against the southern states and had put into effect a pro- tective tariff that was enriching the north and impoverishing the south. “Under Federal legislation,’ said Mr. Benton, ‘the exports of the south have been the basis of Federal revenue. Virginia, the two Carolinas and Georgia maybe said to defray threefourths of the annual expense of supporting the Federal government; and of this great sum annually furn- ished by them, nothing or next to nothing is returned to them in the shape of government expenditures. That expenditure flows in the oppo- site direction—it flows northward in one uniform, uninterrupted and pe- renial stream, This is tne reason why wealth disappears from the south and rises up in the north. Fed- eral legislation does all this.”’ That is the nature of the tariff. That is the object of this species of class legislation. In enriches one sec- tion, or one class at the expense of another, and the Republican party was responsible for it then as it is now. The Republican party was begun as a factional party; as a sectional party in defiance of the spirit of the constitution. “The fact is not denied,” says Br: pions of the northern power,” and he Bledsoe, “‘by many of the great cham- quotes Wendell Phillips as having said: ‘It is the first sectional party ever organized in this country. It does not know its own face, and calls itself national; but it is not national —it is sectional. The Republican party is the party of the North against the South.’’ That is the some old republican party we are fighting today. It isa factional party, a class party, a sec- tional party and that is why the south is solid, solid against it. There is still another observation by Dr. Bledsoe which has a_ present bearing. “The great leader of the faction” Says he “declared that he was not bound by the decisions of the su- preme court of the United States; that he would enforce the Constitu- tion as he understood it, and not as understood by that high tribunal.” The mantle of that “great leader” has fallen upon the leader of the Re- publican party today—upon the man who carries a big stick, who defies courts, proclaims ‘‘my policies” as the supreme law of the land. And so, fellow democrats, doth his- tory repeat itself. _——_++@>-e AMERICAN AND WORLD WIDE. We have been permitted to see one of the latest editions of Webster's International Dictionary published by G. and C. Merriam Co., of ‘Spring- fleld, Mass. It is the same old Webster but it hasa new face,a handsome new gown and it has grown much larger with its advanced age. The position which the Interna- tional has won for itself is too well known to need comment. As a com- prehensive popular dictionary it has retained that pre-eminence which was long held by Webster’s Unabridg- ed. It embodies the ripest results of modern philology, in the degree and form appropriate to a work of its class, and is a dictionary designed to meet the everyday needs of all who write or speak the English tongue. It maintains that excellence in definitions which has made Web- ster the safe and familiar authority to which judge, journalist, scholar, artisan, and man of business refer. In etymology, pronunciation, citations, pictorial illustrations, it carries to greater perfection the merits of its predecessor, Webster’s Unabridged. —_———++@>e—__— Mr. J. H.

CREAM The Unattached Woman. As long as a woman is comfortably cared for by ber family or by mar- riage she is not likely to do anvihing rash; but an unattached woman has a tendency to become an adventuress —not so much on economic psychological grounds. as on Life is rarely so hard that a young woman cannot earn her bread: but she cannot always live and have the stimulations she craves. As however, as she with her people and is known to the whole community she realizes that any in- fraction of its habits, any immodesty or immorality, will ruin her standing and her chance of marriage and bring her into confusion. Consequently good behavior is a protective measure —instructive, of course. But when she becomes detached from home and is removed not only from surveiliance but from the ordinary stimulation and interest afforded by socisl life and acquaintanceship, her restraints are likely to be relaxed. The professionally irregular class of women represents an extreme and unfortunate result of an incomplete and unreal relation to society. Many women of fine natural char- acter and disposition are drawn into an irregular life,, but recover and settle down to regular modes of liy- ing. In this respect the adventuress is more fortunate than the criminal (that other great adventitious pro- duct), because the criminai is label!- ed and his record follows him, mak- ing reformation difficult; while the in-and-out life of woman with refer- ence to what we call virtue is not offi- cially noted and does not bring con- sequences so inevitable. But “if you drive nature out at the door she will come back through the window,” and this interest in greater stimulation is, I believe, the domi- nant force in determining the choice —or rather the drift—of such a wo- man.—Prof. W. I. Thomas in the American Magazine. —_———__~4429- Sues the Republican Nominee. Fayetteville, Sept. 30.—A suit has been filed in Cumberland superior court against J. Elwood Cox, the re- publican nominee for governor, by L. M. Andrews, a resident of western Cumberland, for non-fulfillment of contract. The complaint, which was filed by Messrs. Sinclair & Dye, attor- neys for the plaintiff, alleges that Andrews contracted with Cox to man- ufacture for the latter a quantity of shuttle blocks according to specifica- tions, and that although he has ful- filled this part of the contract in every particular, the defendant has failed to do the same. Andrews de- clares that after finishing the blocks according to the _ specifications, he has been unable to secure an inspec- tion of them by the defendant, and is forced into court to protect his rights. a a Aa ee —_—___4+<-__ Stops itching instantly.

The Publisher’s Claims Sustained UNITED STATES COURT OF CLAIMS The Publishers of Webster’s International Dictionary allege that it “is, in fact,the popu- lar Unabrid. thoroughly re-edited in every detail, and vastly enriched in every part, wit the purpose of adapting it to meet the larger = severer requirements of another genera- ion.” We are of the opinion that this allegation most clearly and accurately describes the work that has been accomplished and the result that has been reached. The Dictionary, as it now stands, has been thoroughly re- edited in every detail, has been corrected in every part, and is admirably adapted to meet the larger and severer requirements of 2 generation which demands more of popular philological knowledge than any generation that the world hasever contained. It is perhaps needless to add that we refer to the dictio: in our judicial work as of the highest authority in accuracy of detini- tion; and that in the futureas in the past it will be the source of constant reference.

The govern- ments of Europe have long 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. The French military authorities find that an ordinary light carriage or riding horse, such as in the United States would be called a “good little buggy horse,” weighs from 300 to 400 Kilo- grams—say from 800 to 900 pounds. Such horses as these are assigned to the lMght 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 1,300 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. Tke heaviest horses are the Clydesdales and Per- cherons, which are oxen in size and strength and which weigh from 600 to 800 and sometimes even up to 900 kilo- grams—that is, from 1,300 up to near- ly 2,000 pounds. None of these Per- echerons of the heaviest weight are used in the military service, but some of the lighter ones are employed for draft and artillery purposes.—Buffalo Commercial. AIDED HER RIVAL. Romance of a London Society Leader and a Diamond Necklace. The jewelers of Bond street could if they liked tell many an amazing story. There is no need to dilate on the fasci- nation which scintillating gems exer- cise upon the feminine mind. That fas- cination is a fact and may serve to ex- plain a mortal enmity which existed recently and probably still exists be- tween two well known society leaders. To one of them a highly placed admir- er mentioned his intention to purchase a diamond necklace. Knowing that the lady possessed more than a superficial knowledge of the value of stones, he begged her to select for him what he required. The price he was prepared to give was £1,500. The lady jumped to the conclusion that such a request could have but one meaning—viz, that she herself was to be the eventual re- * cipient of the gift. She thereupon vis- ited the jeweler’s shop and inspected his stock, but at the price she was em- powered to give saw nothing that par- ticularly took her fancy. A fascinating piece of workmanship, however, did at- tract her, the price of which was 3,000 guineas. The desire to possess it be- came irresistible. She arranged with , the jeweler to send the necklace. to the purchaser and invoice it to him at the agreed upon price, while she gave her own check for the balance. Then she went home and awaited the arrival of the gift. Some days passed, but there Was no appearance of the necklace. A horrible doubt which assailed her be- came certainty a day or two later when she saw the identical necklace she had helped to pay for sparkling on the neck of a younger and more beauti- ful rival—Grand Magazine. 5 His Harmless Candidate. A Georgia farmer posted this sign on his front gate: “Candidates Will Pass On. No Time to Talk to ’Em.” One morning his little boy shouted from the garden walk: “There’s one o’ them canderdates here, and he says he’ll come in any- how!” The man looked toward the gate and said: “Let him in. There’s no harm in him. I know him. He’s been runnin’ ever since the war, jest to be a-runnin’. It runs in his blood, an’ he can’t help it!” —Atlanta Constitution. Explanations In Order. A man whose wife was extremely jealous planned a pleasant surprise for her in the form of a trip to New York to see “The Merry Widow” and wrote a friend in the city to let him know the earliest date for which he could se- cure seats. The next day when he Was away from home the following telegram was delivered there, address- ed to him, but opened by his wife: “Nothing doing with the widow un- til the 10th. Will that suit you?” Explanations were demanded. \ As to a Courtship. “He’s telling everybody that she is his first love.” “And she?” “She is confiding to a select few that he is her last chance.”—Louisville Courier-Journal. Boneless. Captious Customer—I want a piece of meat without any bone, fat or gris- tle. Bewildered Butcher—Madam, 1 think you’d better have an egg— Sketch. lina, written in 1741 by “John Lawson, Gent,” a surveyor general of the lords proprietors. The history is well worth reading, but perhaps the most enter- taining portion of its many pages is that in which Mr. Lawson describes the flora and fauna of the new coun- try. He is evidently the ancestor of the railway conductor who decided that, according to the rules of the road, “dogs is dogs and cats is dogs, but turtles is insects.” “We will next treat of Beasts,” says the historian. “The chief are the Buffe- lo, or Wild Beef; the Tyger; the Bever; and the Bearmouse. The Buffelo is a Wild Beast of America which has a Bunch on his Back. These monsters are found to weigh (as I am informed by a Traveller of Credit) from 1100 to 2400 weight. “The Bat or Bearmouse is the same as in England. I have put this among the Beasts as partaking of both the Nature of the Bird and tke Mouse. Now I shall proceed to the known In- sects of the Place. “Insects of North Carolina: Allega- tors, Rattlesnakes, Frogs, Vipers, Tor- tois, Terebin, Rottenwood Worms (etc.). “The Allegator is the same as the Crocodile. After the Tail of the Alle- gator is removed from the Body it will move freely for several Days. I have named these among the Insects be- cause they lay Eggs, and I did not know well where else to put them.” FERN LEAVES. They Are Valuable For Prese ticles of Food. The fern plant, which grows almost everywhere, is an excellent preserva- tive for packing articles of food, fruit. etc. People who have lived in Eng- land know that the English have used it successfully for many years. Val- uable fruit, fresh butter, etc., are no longer seen in the English markets packed in grapevine leaves, but almost always in fresh fern leaves, which keep the articles excellently. This is done where grapevine leaves are to be had in abundance. Every one posted well in botany knows the high preserv- ative power of fern leaves with refer- ence to vegetable and animal sub- stances. On the Isle of Man fresh herrings are packed in ferns and arrive on the market in as fresh a condition as when they were shipped. Potatoes packed in ferns keep many months longer than others packed only in straw. Ex- periments made with both straw and fern leaves in the same cellar showed surprising results in favor of ferns. While the potatoes packed in straw mostly showed signs of rotting in the spring, those in ferns were as fresh as if they had just been dug. Fresh meat is also well preserved by fern leaves. It would seem as if the highly preservative qualities of fern leaves are due to their high percentage of salt. No larvae, maggots, etc., ap- proach ferns, as the strong odor keeps them away.—New York Times. rving Ar- Postmaster Not to Be Hurried. A nobleman’s new land agent and steward, who went to live on the es- tates about fifteen miles from Grana- da, sent letters to the village postoffice every day for three weeks, but got no replies. ‘Thinking this very strange, he rode over to the village and inter- viewed the postmaster. “Oh,” exclaimed the postmaster, “you are the new agent on the ducal estates! Well, your letters are all safe. The villagers rarely write letters, and as I have to ride on my donkey four miles to the railway station to catch the mail train you don’t suppose for one moment, do you, that I am going to undertake this pilgrimage every day with your stupid letters? I have them all here in a broken jug, and when the jag gets full I shall take a ride to the station and post the whole Jot at once.” Couldn’t Keep Track of Them. Martin Littleton, the famous lawyer of New York, is one of a family of nineteen children, so they say, born to a heritage of poverty and pluck. When he was a small lad down in Texas he fell into the creek one day, and Mi- chael, the next younger brother, ran whimpering to Littleton, the elder: “Dad, dad! Martin is drowning”’ “Martin, Martin?’ repeated the father of nineteen. Then he turned dubious- ly to his wife. “Nora,” he inquired anxiously, “have we a Martin?” it Grew and Grew. “My pa caught a wonderful fish,” said little Willie. “After it was dead ft kept on growing.” “It couldn’t do such a thing.” “Oh, yes, it did, for every time pa told about it it was bigger than it was before.” What He Meant.

Ayers Case Next Week DEFENDANT’S PLEA NOT GUILTY. By Request of Council Young Man From Statesville is Arraigned in Court and Trial is Set for Monday Morning for Special Reasons. The Charlotte Observer this morn- ing says: 3 At the conclusion of the exami- nation of the first witness in the Barnes case yesterday afternoon, the leading lawyer of counsel for the Ge- tense of West Ayers, charged with criminal assault on Maud Bass, in- terrupted the proceedings long enougt fo request Judge Justice to arraign his client and fix Saturday as the day for commencing the trial. It is highly desirable, said the lawyer, that this case be tried at this term of court, for reasons which had been stated previously to the court, and which he did not care to repeat at tif" time. The judge acceded to the request. Ayers, who had been brought up from the jail for this pur- pose stood up. Solicitor Clarkson read the bill of indictment, whose charges are commonly known. * “Not guilty’ was the plea entered by the defendant. “How will you be tried?”’ was the aged interrogation put by the judge. ‘““By God and my country, an- swered the defendant, prompted by his counsel. Hardly more than a boy, the young man Ayérs looks to be. He is prob- ably 23 years old, though his clear complexion and open countenance might pass him for younger than that. His face has none of the ele- ments of viciousness in its makeup. By him sat his father, and nearby was Mr. L. C. Caldwell, who has come down from Statesville to assist in his defense. Permission was requested by the lawyers for the defense to examine the witnesses for the state and the solicitor conceded this, though in- sisting that it was a matter of court- esy merely and not of right and that it was not incumbent on him to hunt the witnesses up. He further said that he wished to be present at the cross-examination cf Maud-Bass and her mother. This was agreed to and the sheriff was furnished with a list of the witnesses, most of whom live near Mooresville and Davidson. Subpoenas were issued for these, who had returned home, notifying them to return today and be present at 9:30 for this purpose. Ayers, it will be recalled, was brought back from Ohio by Sheriff Wallace to answer the charge made by the girl, Maud Bass. A hard fight wilt be made on both sides. <> —_—_ Mr Eagle’s Son to Marry. The announcement has reached here that Mr. C..R. Eagle of Benld, Ill., will on Monday next marry Miss Mary Watson of Hillsboro, Hl. Mr. Eagle isa sonof Mr. J. F.

That he has succeeded it will please the many friends of his boyhood days to know. He is now a man of considerable wealth and cashier of National bank of Benld. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Eagle will leave for the formers old home here and should arrive on No. 12, at about 7 p. m7, Wednesday next to be in this vicinity about 10 days. ———_++@o———_ Double Sales at Winston.

Discusses Present Conditions, and Compares Them With Those of the Past—The Prospects for the Fu- ture are Brighter. In reviewing the general condition of cotton taken from the newspaper reports which are always active at getting at the facts, the future looks better. Looking at the recent “Start ups” of not only the New Eng- land mills but also some of those in the south, there is every indication of a resumption of business although claimed by the milling men that even on a basis of 17c¢ for their manufac- tured stuff and cotton at 9c is not re- munerative. Now no one can deny the fact that while the large increase in acreage should point to Se cotton they also must concede the fact that providential causes have to a large extent cut short this anticipated large crop. We frequently hear it said iat North Carolina and a few of the up- land states are only a drop in the bucket but many drops have made holes in the granite or hardest stones. We are all in the dark as to the fu- ture of prices of cotton. but if the political situation was settled we can easily look forward to better prices. The mills are sweeping, for the first time since their erection, their old storage houses being empty, cleaning out the rat beds and getting ready for business. The summing up of all is that the mill people are as_ anxious to see higher prices as the man who owns the bale and this time is not far dis- tant. The English strike has of course a large “‘to do’’ with the present price of the staple and the foreign buyers are not so thick as in last years’s sea- son at this date but you can look out for your representatives from abroad as soon as the political waters are calmed. W. H. H. GREGORY. <> _- Doings at Troutmans. On last week while shoeing a mule Mr. A. D. Troutman was kicked by the mule inflicting a wound above the right eye but it was not a very bad one. Mr. J. B. Lippard is erecting a new house where the old one stood and will be a great help to the town. Mr. Henry and Pat Brown have recently set in a modern ginning sys- tem and are now ginning cotton. They have there gins and a revolv- ing press. Mr. ¥*. A. Troutman has built a telephone line from _ his place at Longford to Troutmans and has con- nected with the Iredell Telephone Co. Mr. J. L. Hunter is building a new barn on his lot. The farmers are very busy now with their work. Much cotton has been picked already and some has not very much more to open. The farmers expect about two thirds of a crop. Some are sowing oats and others sowing rye. The pea crop this year will be bet- ter than last, but not so much pea vine hay. Master Forent Cornefius and his sister, Gertrude, have returned to Charlotte after spending a few days with their grandmother, Mrs. Mag Troutman. Master Fred Hyams Deaton and little sister spent Saturday night and Sunday with their grandparents Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Troutman. Rev. and Mrs. R. R.

Gobbel and Will Loflin, Who Were Severely Injured in Powder Explosion at Southern’s Spencer Shops, in Desperate Con- dition. Spencer, Oct. 2.—Up to tonight there have been no further fatalities as a result of the explosion of the powder magazine of the Southern Railway at Spencer yesterday after- noon at 5:50 o’clock, and most of the twenty injured in the accident are resting well. W. F. Stafford, a mem- ber of the fire departmnet, it is fear- ed, cannot recover. It is said both eyes were blown out, his skull frac- tured and face and body fearfully lacerated. J. T. Gobbel and Will Loflin are also in a desperate condi- tion. i The work of clearing up the debris from the wrecked buildings was pros- and conditions are rapidly becoming normal, though the town has been in a decided state of confusion since the great explosion yesterday. The loss of property is variously estimat- ed at from $75,000 to $100,000. All the injured are being cared for at the hospitals in Salisbury and at their homes and the Southern offi- cials are doing all in their power to alleviate their suffering. A num- ber of those least injured was able to be out today. Since early morning telegrams and other messages have poured into Spencer inquiring about friends who are in the employ of the company. It was learned today that many families in Spencer suffered greatly from the shock and a number of dwellings was damaged. Several women have been in a hystericai con- dition since the castrophe. Thousands of people from Win- ston-Salem, Greensboro, . Lexington. Charlotte, Statesville and many other places visited Spencer today to view the scene of the wreckage. The Southern, however, placed guards at all gates and many were denied ad- mission to the grounds. All day long large forces of men worked hard in removing the debris from roof and walls of the various structures dam- aged, and it is stated that several departments in The big shops will re- sume usual work in a Tew days. Or- ders had just been received from Washington to increase the reguiar force, which had been done. Several buildings in the town were damaged by the shock, two brick structures being cracked. — 4 For Assault With a Deadly Weapon. Judge Sloan had Arthur White, colored, before him this morning charged with an assault with a dead- ly weapon. Through ois counsel, Lawyer Zeb. V. Long, the prisoner waived exami- nation and was held in the sum of $100 for the superior court. He said he could give bail but at noon had not done so. He is charged with having fired a pistol at John Summers also colored on Sept. 28. It is said fhat an attempt has been made to tamper with some of the government witnesses in this case and other complications may follow as a result. ——— PP re Saw the Merry Widow. Miss Catherine Copeland returned today from Charlotte where she went yesterday in company with her sister, Miss Corre Copeland and Miss Mar- jorie McAllum. Last night they saw Henry W.

The ex- citement “ai once reached fever lisat. It is believed that ‘ighting will follow the appearance of the officers. who will not reach the stronghold of the outlaws until far into the nigitt. It may be that nothing will be heard further from the scene until eariy in the morning. The _ section is very isolated, and th» outlaw strom2hold is eight miles back in the wooded hitls. Sheriff Williams, who arrived aiAr- vonia last night and promised to pro- ceed with the citizens against the stronghold of the outlaws at break this morning, refused today tic discuss the situation, except to say that he would get busy as soon as his plans matured. The sheriff this morning received a message from Alpha, eight miles away, to the effect that four of the outlaws had been seen going into and coming from the home of William Zimmerman. The telegram stated that the outlaws had been seen by a detective armed with a Winchester, who did not shoot he- cause he hoped the men might be taken alive: The situation is intensified by the reports of last night that Charles Newton had been shot at Payne's Stn- tion by his brother-in-law, Benjamin Zimmerman, the alleged leader of the outlaw gang. posedly the result of an old feud ex isting between the two men. About a-year ago Newton swore out a war- rant against Zimmerman, charging him with an attempted assault upon his wife. The warrant was never served. In the meantime Zimmer- man is known to have made more than one threat against his kinsman. A telegram from Arvonia late this afternoon stated that the newspaper correspondents have been ordered oui of the town. There is a rumor that they are to be shot on sight by the outlaws. The reason for the threat is believed to have resulted from the publication of the names and move- ments of the outlaws as well as those of the, citizens,’ and the temerity of the reporters in plunging into the fastneses of the outlaws. The first intimation that direct had been secured of the man who fired the shot which seriously, if not fatally, wounded H. W. Gregory at Arvonia last Saturday, came today. when néws from the seat of the trouble with the Thomas-Zimmerman gang brought the information that a warrant has been sworn out for Wil- liam Thomas, charging him with the crime.

The cotton gin of F. R. Gray & Bro.. was entirely consumed. About 45 bales of cotton, worth over $2,000, and 2,500 bushels of seed were also con- sumed. Two mules owned by the Harrison Wagon Company were Standing in the stalls near the gin and were injured to such an extent they had to be killed yesterday. <A mule belonging to Mr. Stevens was also killed. The plant was valued at about $1,200 and there was no insur- ance on any of the property. This is the second disastrous fire that has had the Gray Brothers for victims. Several months ago they lost nearly all their property by fire, and then as now, carried no insurance. It is believed that the fire was the work of an incendiary. There is a vague rumor afloat that a notice had been posted notifying the brothers to shut down their gin or to expect a fire. Mr. Frank Gray said yesterday that he had neither received nor seen any such notice but had been told by Mr. Ivey, the ruFal mail carrier, that 4 man on his route had told him that such a notice had _ been sent to Mr. Gray and had also been posted. How ever, not much credence is placed in the rumor that this was the work of night riders. — 1+ MR. GILL LOSSES A MULE. His Son and Some Other Boys Were Out on a Possum Hurt and Left it Hitched to a Fence. Last night Ralph Gill, son of Mr. J. B. Gill, and Fred and Frank Sum- mers and James Walker went out into the country on a posum hunt. They drove Mr. Giti’s mule, which was attached to a wagon. While they went out into the woods and fields in search of game they left the mule hftched to a fence near the barn of Mr. Sherrill on on the Macadam road. ; They returned to the place this morning at about 1 o’clock and found the animal gone. They hunted for the mule but without suc- cess and returning to the city inform- ed Mr. Gifl of what had happened. He at once went to the place where he found unmistakable signs that the mule had broken away. He follow- ed the tracks for some distance and finally came upon the rear wheels and body of the Wagon where they had been caught on the trunk of a tree. The mule and front wheels of the vehicle ar€ still missing and a thor- ough search today has failed to locate them. Mr. Gill would be very thankful if anyone having knowledge of the mule’s whereabouts would commun- icate with him. It was a valuable animal, being worth Close on to $200. —_——+~<~2>e—___ FIRE ON ELM STREET. Brisk Blaze Starts in the Roof of House Owned by Mr. M. W. John- son, but Flames are Soon Extin- guished. At about 7:30 o‘clock this morning the roof of the house on Elm street owned and occupied by Mr. M. W. Johnson was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was sent in to the cen- tral station and the fire department responded in a remarkably short space of timé. The fire was soon under control but not before a good sized hole had bean burned in the roof. The damage will not be large and is fully covered by insurance. The fire is supposed to have caught from a spark from the chimney. ——_s<-o—- _—— Candidate Cowles Tonight — Mr. Charles H.

The Chicago school officials are having trouble in dealing with the color line. Pupils are being shifted around so as to separate the races as far as pos- sible and the protests aroused last week by the transfer of 159 children from elementary rooms in the Lake High school to the Hancock school, where about ten per cent of the pu- pils are negroes caused the issuance of orders for the return of the chil- dren to their rooms in the Lake build- ing. The northern people know precise- ly how to deal with the race question at long range. It is another propo- sition when they have to deal with it face to face. The Southern people have dealt with the negro question in all its phases and have learned that com- plete separation is necessary to the preservation of peace. - The Northern people will learn that the south is right after they have had the south’s experience. God Almighty drew the color fine and man cannot obliterate it. —_<++ > 2__-- AND HE WILL. The Newport News Times-Herald says: Independent tobacco growers resid- ing in Caswell county, N. C., are much alarmed over the posting on the plantations of many prominent farmers notices warning them to pool their tobacco and not to sell it on the warehouse floor. We sincerely hope that the tobac- co planters in North Carolina are not giving to imitate their lawless brethren in Kentucky. Night riders in the good Old North State are not to be tolerated and Gov. Glenn ought to employ all the powers at his com- mand, if necessary, to prevent them. > A Big Boy. Mr. T. R.

The boy is nine years old, weights 157 pounds, has seven fingers on his right hand, six on his left and six toes on each foot. Mr. Gragg tells us he has a daugh- ter at home 12 years of age, weigh- ing 170 pounds and she has six toes on each foot. The children both en- joy good health. The parents of the children are small, the father weighing 134 pounds and the mother 120 pounds. —Lenoir Topic. _—— OH Eupeptic Notes. Mr. Harvey Morrow, of Eufola, is in school at Eupeptic Springs.

A Plague That at Times Makes Life Unbearable In Calcutta. One of the evils of Calcutta is the plague of green flies, from which the whole city sufiers at certain times in the year. The happy hunting time of these minute insects is during the late autumn and early winter. They are a serious nuisence both in and out of Goors. They wing their way through all the open dcozs into the houses and into every reem. making life unbear- 2bte. Like most insects. the little green flies have a «root affection for the flame. On ocenvion the inhabitants Pave found it xecess2ry to put out all the gasligits. even at a public dinner, and to take their meals practically in deep gloom, illuminated only by flick- ering candies. Naturally it is not at all pleasant to go on eating with Gense clouds of in- sects swarming overhead or, roasted to death, falling about one in pattering showers. They seem to spring into existence from nowhere. Perhaps it is almost dusk when the lights of the street lamps are becoming visible. Then suddenly the air, which a moment be- fore was quite clear, is full of myriads of green flies, drifting in misty patches and obscuring the street lamps. Often the number of insects which have been scorched to death is so great that little heaps of them collect inside the lamps, while bucket loads have to be swept up from the roads next morn- ing.—London Answers. Judging a Melon. Is there any way for a purchaser to tell a good melon without cutting 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 mélon should be heavy. There should be no ragged or broken stem to indi- 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 has come from a tasteless melon the result will be disappointing even with thorough culture and the best care in picking and shipping—Baltimore American. eZ 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 and 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.

In the Mayor’s court this morning the case against Mr. S. J. Holland was settled by placing a small fine on the defendant. It seems that Parks Byers, a negro employed. about the Iredell stables became very impudent and insulting and Mr. Holland simply administered a threshing as any other-man would have done. In court Mr. Holland simply sub- mitted. ———++e-o—_—_— At the Gem.

Many Offenders In The Courts CRUELTY TO DUMB BEASTS. Man and Wife Have a Fight and Are Fined—Old Partners Fall Out and Fight With Hammer and Loaf of Bread for Weapons. A Hum@ne Mayor. Mayor IH. P. Grier held a special session of hig court yesterday morning and had before him Abe Dalton and his wife, Jennie Dal- ton, colored, They were charged with fight- ing, using ‘‘euss words’’ ete. Sat- urday night. The Daltons do not ect along on the very best of terms and in fact live apart most of the time. When they do get together a fight generally ensues. This time the rumpus is said to have been another man. Each Was assessed $5 and half the costs, which was paid. Arrested for Contempt. Perey Holmes and his ‘‘woman”’ Ilenriette Holmes are neighbors of the Daltons. They all live down by the colored chureh on Center street, near the depot. The Holmes couple had been summon- ed as witnesses in the Dalton ease and had been told to be on hand at 9 o'clock yesterday for trial. They failed to show up and the mayor issued a rule for contempt, They were arrested but showed his caused by honor that they had been misin- formed as to the time and were discharged with a severe repri- mand. Benfield Defaulted. Magistrate Sloan was to have tried Van Benfield late Saturday afternoon on a charge of carrying coneealed weapnos. Benfield failed to show up. The court was informed that Benfield had been in the city earlier in the day but that he had gone to Salis- bury with a party of friends. This information didn’t ‘‘set well’’ with the justice and he ordered the man’s bond of $50 forfeited. Later Benfield showed wf and said he was ready for trial. It was then arranged that the bond should stand until October 15th. when the ease will be ealled for trial. If he is present at that time the trial will proceed and if not the court will proceed to col- lect the bond. Some time ago Benfield was tried and discharged on a charge of retailing. Partners Have a Row. Messrs. W. S. Johnson and D. W. Reed were formerly proprie- tors of the bakery on Center street near the depot. Some time ago Johnson bought out the interest of his partner and besides a eash eonsideration gave Mr. Reed a demand note for $90. There was an understanding that this note should stand for 60 days. It seems that the time will be up some day this week and according to the testimony before Mayor Grier this morning. Reed ealled around to the bakery last Satur- day night to see what Johnson proposed to do about the note and whether any money was in sight. Johnson told him he had no money and couldn’t pay the note and after a few warm words the men were together and ‘‘at it.” There was evidence that John- son pushed Reed out of the bak- ery, hit him on the head with a hammer and then threw a loaf of bread at him. There was also testimony to the effect that Reed called his former partner some very nasty names and that he made the ‘‘first pass”’ ne _*. at Johnson. Reed was fined $10 and half the costs on a charge of simple assault and Johnson was held for the su- perior court on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. They both gave a bond for $100. Reed paid the fine, He Thrashed His Nigger. Mr. Will Westmoreland, propri- etor of the Westmoreland stables and Marshal White, who is color- ed, were before Mayor Grier this morning. The technical offence alleged in the warrants was ‘‘an affray.”’ The story as it was gleaned from the testimony was to the ef- feet that yqsterday afternoon at about three or four o’clock White hired one of Mr. Westmoreland’s horses for an hour’s drive. In a short time word reached the stable that the negro was treating the horse in a most cruel manner, beating it unmercifully and rae- ing it up and down the road out in the country. Mr. Westmoreland started out to find the brute but was unable! to locate either him or the horse. He did see several people who told him of the treatment his horse Was receiving. A _ party of re- spectable colored people told him they had attempted to reseue the horse fromthe negro brute were unable to do so. At a Little before 9 o’clock White returned with the animal and it was indeed, in a sad pligkt. It bad oven cut in several places about the legs and was bleeding profusely. fonts Covered with perspiration the animal was in a state of general collapse from the overdriving it had received. One side was cov- ered with mud and there was plen- ty of evidence that it had been down. Mr. Westmoreland asked the negro ‘‘what this meant’? and when he replied ‘‘nothing’’ start- ed in and gave the black brute the thrashing he undoubtedly deserv- ed. As White had taken no part in the ‘‘affray’’ except to take the whipping Mr. Westmoreland gave him, his honor had nothing to do but discharge him on that count. He, however, ordered him before a justice on a charge of cruelty to animals in the county, over which he had no jurisrdiction. Mayor Grier told Mr. West- moreland that he could not find it in his heart to fine him for an as- sault on the negro, although he had plead guilty He had acted under great prov- oeation, and done exactly as most any man who had a liking for dumb beasts would have done. He accordingly suspended judgment on payment of costs. The may- ors verdict met with general ap- proval and has been freely and favorably commented on about the city today. Before The Justice. White was then taken before Squire P. C. Carlton on the cruelty to animals charge. The evidence was about as above. the witnesses being Will Wlison, Wliliam Tom- lin, E. H. White and J. W. Mills. They told of seeing the horse being eruelly treated and of its terrible condition on its return to the stable. Magistrate Carlton found White guilty of the charge and let him off with a fine of $5 and costs, the total going some over $10. There have been several who have called in at The Mascot office today and stated that they would see to it that White does not get off with this light sentence. They said they would take the case before Solicitor Hammer when the next term of court meets, where it rightly belongs and it is to be hoped that they will do so. THe Evening Mas Statesville, N. C., Monday Evening, October 5, 1908. Mr. Lowles af Lourt House THAT MASCOT INTERVIEW. Republican Candidate for Con- gress Speaks toa Good Sized Crowd Saturday Night—Re- views Mr. Hackett’s Record and Replies to Governor Glenn, ——ee Mr. Charles H. Cowles, republi- ean candidate for the congression- al toga now worn by Mr. Richard N. Hacket, addressed a good sized crowd at the court house Satur- day night. A number of ladies were present. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Dewey L. Raymer who in a neat speech introduced Mr. Cowles. Mr. Raymer inform- ed his hearers that they were con- fronted with a serious problem; they were about to select a man , to represent this district in con- gress or to continue one in office who in the past had misrepresent- ed it, which would they do. Mr. Cowles commenced his speech by remarking that he was formerly a resident of this city and that the two years he spent here were the two most pleasant man, applauded this pretty little bit of sentiment. The speaker then launched into a discussion of the ‘‘issues’’ of the campaign. The panic was first discussed.. The speaker said that the peo- ple had not forgotten the panic of the Grover Cleveland days and never would forget it, those sad days of cheap corn and_ cotton. At the present time, he asserted, cotton roots were selling for 4% cents per pound, more than the real cotton brought under Mr. Cleveland. Timber land is higher now than it was then. The speaker then told a story, which made all hands laugh about a fellow in Heaven who had just arrived, a victim of the Jamestown flood. Old Noah was there and informed the new arri- val that he knew very little about floods. The point of the story was supposed to illustrate that the fel low who says we’ve a panic on our hands at the present time wouldn’t know a real panic if he were to see one. The recent ‘‘so called’’ panic was not brought about by a defec- tive currency but might have been made possible because of one. The democrats propose to take the duty off lumber. Do you here in North Carolina want that done? Mr. Bryan didn’t write his plat- form to catch the votes of the south. He didn’t have to do that. He felt that he was sure of them. The platform was written to eatch the vote of the doubtful states and several of these are lumber consuming rather than lumber producing states. Here the speaker produced a copy of last Tuesday’s Evening Mascot and read extracts from the interview with Governor Glenn. Speaking of the correspondence between the railroads and the governor, Mr. Cowles real the fol- lowing from the interview: “‘These letters are on fine in the office now, and are open to the mspection of any one. No mem- ber, and no Republican asked to see these letters or requested a copy of them, but all knew they could see them whenever they wished.”’ The speaker said that he was surprised that the governor should make such a statement in the face of documentary evidence, ones of his life. Even The Mascot’ to the contrary and which he then had in his possession. He then proceeded to read what purported to be'an interview with George L. Morton, a member of the legisla- ture from New Hanover. In this interview which the speaker said was published in the Charlotte Observer, Mr. Morton stated that he had asked Governor Glenn for the correspondence in question and had been told by his excel- lency that he could not find the letters he desired, that they might be in the pocket of his other coat up at the executive mansion. Congressman Hackett’s record was then reviewed and the speak- er said that while Mr. Hackett claimed credit for obtaining ap- propriations for government buildings at Salisbury and Con- cord, the democratic papers have been giving Senator Overman the credit. He said he supposed the party organs knew what they were about. Mr. Hackett, he charged, had missed counting his pairs, more roll calls than he had answered. Four small pension bills and one two minute speech constituted his ‘‘record”’ ‘‘and’’ said the speaker “‘when he shall have concluded his present term of office the peo- ple will have paid him ‘$15,000 for all this.”’ Mr. Cowles concluded his speech with a tribute to Taft, big both in belly and brain, although he didn’t put it just that way, and a prediction of coming victory for himself and the other repub- lican candidates, ——_++@n-o———_——— PERSONAL NOTES.

Body of Men Who Will Pass on the Evidence Submitted in the Case of Young West Ayers Se- lected Saturday and Under Guard Over Sunday. ‘Lawyer L. C. Caldwell left this morning for Charlotte to be pres- ent when the case of West Ayers is taken up in the Mecklenburg superior court today. From a special venire of fifty men, & jury was chosen on Satur- day to hear the case. It is composed as follows: Messrs. 8. L. Noles, C. K. Ma- sick, W. B. Puckett, D. C. Moore, | W. 8. Biggers, U. G. Dellinger, R. S. Demster, Cliff Bell, H. C. Wil- liams, J. C. Rodman, E. W. Rigles and John Lillycop. The empaneling of the jury took place Saturday in order that the trial could be continued today. It would not have been legal to begin the trial on today, but is le- gal to finish one already begun. As soon as the formalities had been eoncluded a long period of con- finement or at least of cohesion had begun for the men who are to pass judgment on the life of the young defendant and also on a good many other things in connec- with the case. The officer who was placed in charge of the jury was instructed not to allow them to engage in private conversation with any one. It, does not often happen {that circumstances are such that @ jury is thus guarded two days before the taking of any evidence is begun, but there wag no help for it in this case. - The case will eome up today, im- mediately after the conclusion of argument in the Barnes ease. The Charlotte Observer this morning says: As soon as the jury has received the charge of Judge Justice and has withdrawn from the court room the case of young Wesley Ayers will be taken up, the charge being assault. Sensational development so far as the prominence of the par- ties will justify the use of the term are expected. The defense will make a hard fight for sequit- tal and the friends of the accused mar are said to be entirely confi- dent of the result. All thig re- mains to be seen. The jury is a good one and is likely to bring in a verdict which will meet with the approval of the majority of peo- ple. The members were in strict seclusion yesterday from the rest of the world so far as private ip- tercourse was concerned. If one went to chureh all had to go. If one wanted to stroll, either the de- sire had to go ungratified, or else all had to participate in the pleasure of a Sabbath ambulation. It is not thought that a great deal of time will be required in the examination of witnesess in thig case, ag the number of these is not excessive. Ayers, it will be recalled, was arrested in Ohio sev- eral weeks ago, where he had gone to enlist in the United States army. —— ~@-9—__ Farm Products Selling High.

Franklin La. Oct. Bouterie, nineteen ycars old, daughter of a prominent lumber- man at Patterson, near here, is in jail at this place, while A. Sydney Bouterie, editor of the New Era, of Patterson. her husband of two days, is lying at the point of death in 4 sanitorium here with five bul- let holes in his body. Bouterie was shot by his beav- tiful bride yesterday afternoon while he was seated at his desk in his editorial rooms at Patterson. The young woman rushing in with three young men attending her, used a revolver and coolly submit- ted to arrest after she had almost emptied the weapon. One of the cartridges snapped and she drew this out and cast it on the pros- trate body of her alleged faithless husband. Miss Demarest asserts that Bou- terie, who is ten years her senior, refused to live with her. The newspaper editor has made a dy- ing statement that he was forced to marry Miss Demarest at the point of a pistol, in the hands of the bride’s father, L, J. Demarest. The alleged wedding was perform- ed here at midnight Wednesday, the party returning to Patterson. Bouterie is alleged to have refused to remain with his bride, saying she was distasteful to him and that he would not associate with her, though he would make finan- eial provision for her mainten- ance. Miss Demarest says she does not want money. She insists he won her sweethearts’ love and she want ed to retain it. Joe Stansbury, John Cisna and Roland Vitter, young men of prominent families, are under ar- rest, charged with being accesso- ries. _——~+e+-o—_—_. Will Give Away a Watch.

The M@scOt has no disposition to stir the dying embers of sectional prejudice or to review bitter mem- ories. But when Southern Democrats enlist and march under the ban- ner of Roosevelt, the rampant re- publican leader in the present campaign, we cannot but recall what he said several years ago of the confederate cause and Jeffer- son Davis. ‘‘We feel’’ said he in an article published in the North American Review, ‘‘that history will call the war of the rebellion to be both of modern wars the most important and the one in which the dividing lines between right and wrong were sharpest drawn. A tory of 1776 had far more right on his side than hada confederate in 1860. Doubtless most tories be- lieved firmly their cause was right. and after the revolution they should have been treated as soon as possible like their loyal fellow citizens. But had this been done exceptions would of course have been made in some ecases—as that of Benedict Arnold and those of the men who, under Johnson and Butler and Wyoming massacre. ‘“*When Lamar, of Misissippi, secretary of the interior under Cleveland, half-masts the flag out of respect to the unsavory mem- ory of ex-Secretary Thompson (Richard Thompson, of Misissippi, secretary of the interior under Buchanan) we feel quite as indig- nant as our forefathers would have been a_ similar tri- bute to a follower of Butler or Johnson. So with Jefferson Davis who enjoys the unique distinction of being the only American with whose «public character that of Benedict Arnold need not fear ecomparison.”’ . That, Dear Reader, is the same Roosevelt who is now railing at Colonel Bryan and the democracy and trying to hitch them up with the lawless corporations and their hirelings. At times Mr. Roosevelt is gen- only one side of him. Whenever his blood is stirred he becomes rio- tous and rides roughly. It is then that the real Roosevelt reveals | himself. He may be as he professes, the friend of the south, but for our part we can not affiliate with a man who compares confederates to tories and Jefferson Davis to Ben- edict Arnold. Stop a minute and think. Then tell us—can you? ——_++ a> e—_—- For a mild, easy action of the bow- els, a single dose of Doan’s Regulets is enough.

The Jewish people of Statesville are very generally observing the Day of Atonement, known in the Hebrew liturgy as the ‘‘Sababth of Sababths.’”’ The Day of Atonement which falls on the tenth day of the seventh month, Tishre, commenced yesterday “and will last through today until sunset. The Jewish stores will remain closed during that time. Yester- day afternoon at 3:30 o’clock and again this morning, Rey. Dr, Koh- ler, well known Rabi of Cleveland, Ohio, held services at the syna- eogue and large congregations were present at both. The day of Atonement is the ho- liest day in the Hebrew calendar. The orthodox coneetion of this holy day is that it was instituted under divine guidance by the law- giver Moses, and this view is based on those portions in the Bible that relate to the observance of Atonement Day. Modern scholars assert that the institution of the day with the Prophet Ezekiel, and that the Bib- lical passages bearing on it found in that portion of the Bible known known to modern Biblical eritics as thy Priestly Code, are simply an elaboration of the work of Ezekiel and others whose aim was the restoratioy gf the Hebraic sac- rificial cult. +--+ INSTALLED AS PASTOR. —_— Rev| C.

William Duncan, of the First chureh of Charlotte, spoke to the people; Rev. Dr. G. R. White counseled the new pastor and Rev. W. Y.

He graduated two years ago from the Alleghany Theo- logical Seminary at Pittsburg, Pa., his collegiate instruction be- ing received at Erskine College. Just as thecongregation of the church had assembled for wor- ship it was discovered that fire was raging within the ceiling and for a time great excitement pre- vailed. Some of themen quickly reached the scene of the flames and extinguished them before much real damage was done. The fire originated from a faulty flue. a COTTON MARKET. Local Market.

Te Williams Comedy Company, which was to have played a week’s engagement at the opera house in this city disbanded Thursday morning after having given three very good performances. The company was neither broke or stranded. Mr. T. D. DeGaffer- elly, Jr., who owned the ‘‘outfit’’ said that there was with him at least, a limit to a losing game. He had been playing to poor houses for over six weeks and was simply tired of loosing money. If the people had money they were keep- ing it. He felt when he started out this season that he had gath- ered together too expesive a com- pany of players for the towns he proposed to visit but he was in hopes his efforts would be appre- ciated. They were not, however, and there was but one thing to do, quit or ‘‘go broke.”’ All of the members of the troup left the city immediately, except Miss Maude Folsom and Mr. Hen- ry King who were engaged for a short stay at the Gem theater by Manager Gregory. + - DR.

Mr. Wood was helped out of the burn- ing building and down a ladder and removed to his home. The fire on Haywood street was one of the most stubborn the fire- men have been called upon to com- bat in some time. It broke out about 10 o’elock, or only a short time after the firemen had return- ed from fighting a fire at Mr. Re- vell’s residence on Charlotte street The structure contained eight flats, all of which were occupied save one. Buildings on either side were saved by hard fighting. The flats were practicallwWdestroy- ed.

Ayers Case Lvidence In STATESVILLE BOY ON TRIAL. Wesley Ayers Placed on Trial for His Life Yesterday and a Des- perate Battle Begins—Maud Bass Tells of Assault by Force. Defendant Alleges Complete Consent and Denies the Uusing of Any Force Whatever. The Charlotte Observer of today Rivaling in unsparing minute- ness of its prurient and salacious ictails the Thaw ease, of unsavory memory, and lacking only the con- iributing factors of fame and mil- lions to win for it equal interest was the ease of Wesley Ayers, 24 years old, of Statesville, placed vesterday on trial for his life on the charge of eriminal assault on ihe person of Maud Bass, a 15-year old girl of south Iredell. Ilandling without gloves a state of facts where, with two principals opposed, details meant death for the one and character for the oth- er, or life for the one and the dis- crediting of the other, a score of gave varying versions und a quintette of lawyers ques- tioned, re-questioned, objected, argued and then questioned again. A story of a drive away from the Cornelius pienie into the woods zgainst her sobs and protests, of a turn into a blind road and of a forcible assault unmindful of her entraties, of threats to leave her in the depths of the woods alone unless she yielded and the same threat repeated unless she- pro- mised not to tell—that was the story of the young State’s witness, on whieh was based the indictment which sent the high sheriff of Mecklenburg county to Columbus, .. who there dragged from ser- vice in the United States army the young man Ayers to show cause why he should not be hang- cd by the neck until dead. Markedly different was the tale of the aeeused, who took the stand in the afternoon. Admitting the drive to the secluded spot, and the asterisk incident, but denying un- oquivoeally the slightest objection ther than a fear expressed that he would tell, this being silenced by a promise to the eontrary, the de- lendant by his story placed at ‘east half the blame for the unfor- nate indiseretion upon the young woman in the ease, who poses as Which told the truth is a matter the jury will be ealled on to deeide. Evidence Lively. The evidenee simply bristled with developments. At every step the plot thickened. Here tke de- lense seored, here it lost a point. but it is only recording facts to say that at the close of the taking of testimony about 5 o’ecleck it Was universally admitted that the defense had made out a strong ease. The admission of Mr. W. E. lhass, father of the young woman, that he had given consideration to % proposition, after he was in jail on a capital charge, to call the matter off in consideration of a house and lot, and had even ex- pressed his willingness to do what- “ver the solicitor thought was right about it, will unquestionably count in the favor of the prisoner, »efore his lawyers have done With it, Ranking in importance even higher than this, if the jury gives credenee to it, is the story of Jesse Royal, a young white man, who has known Miss Bass for several months, he said, and had gone witnesses his aceuser. — her several times. =i, —— + Se dent purpose of the introduction of his testimony as to conversation and permitted familiarities was plainly to persuade the jury that consent in the case of Ayers was easily possible of obtainment. * *% * * * * Strikingly pretty is the girl about whom real interest centres in this ease. Adorning her plump cheeks is the rosy blush of bud- ding youth, in her bright eyes play anon scintillating flashes of mischief. Her story on the stand was told calmly. Only at certain portions of the testimony of Ayers and Royal did she appear abashed and showed special interest in the story narrated by the man ac- accused. Five or six women were in the court room throughout the trial, some of these being witnesses, others being merely interested from personal reasons, mother of young Miss Bass, her half sister and others. s “ * * Maud Bass Testifies. Three weeks before the Corneli- us picnic, said the girl, she met Ayers at the Mooresville pienie. At the former, the Cornelius pienic she was with him in the morning and again in the afternoon. In the afternoon she had an engage- ment to go driving with him with another girl, but the other girl failed to keep her engagement and. the two went alone. When they had driven about three miles from the pienic grounds, Ayers seized the reins and turned out into an abandoned road into the woods. There with manifestations of vio- lenee against her protests, said she, was the felony committed. Yielding to threats of desertion, she promised not to tell, and they drove to the home of her sister, where her mother was informed of the afternoon’s occurrences. Ayers drove off as soon as she alighted from the buggy. When cross-examined, she said she was introduced to Ayers by her sweetheart, named Royal. She denied that the latter had ever made her an improper proposal. He had tried to put his arms around her onee, but she had written a letter to him rebuking him at the command of her moth- er. **Did you tell anybody that you had the best time of your life at the picnic?’’ she was asked. She replied negatively. The Mother Heard. There was no more daring wit- ness than the mother of the girl, who first heard from her lips her story of the day. It is at this stage, as well as in a portion of the testimony of the girl, that self- censorship by the press comes into its legitimate sphere. Suffice it to say thatthe girl was in a high- strung nervous condition, flung herself on her bed and cried when explanations were asked for. She told the same story, substantially, as that related by her on the wit- ness stand Her clothes were torn. The half sister of Maud, Mrs. McCoy, was present at the time and corroborated the testimony of the mother. The witness had fainted. Mrs. Bass took Maud and the two gota earriage and drove to Mooresville, before the train left. When Mr. MeCoy eame she told him. He walked up and down the room and didn’t know what to do. She asked him not to go about Wes, ‘‘for if he was that sort of a man I was afraid of him.’’ Some parrying followed, but without material re- sult. * * * * * * Defence Opens Evidence. Here rested the state and the defence picked up the gauntlet which had been thrown down. i The evi- Bride Hides rrom Husband LIERALLY WALTZES AWAY. Says She Loved Another—He Was Poor, But he Was Devout and Clever—Didn’t Want a Rich Man for Riches Sake. Fostoria, O., Oct. 6—‘‘Justice to myself and to him compelled me to leave Charles Church seven hours after our marriage,’’ said pretty 18-year-old Mrs. Edyth Somers Church, maried Saturday at 3 o’clock to Charles S. Church, a wealthy Litchfield oil speculator, only to desert him at 10 o’clock at a dance in Norwalk. “I knew I loved another—a poor man—when I = married Church. But the latter had court- ed me for two years, his money dazzled me, and finally I consented | to keep a promise to marry him, mostly because my mother argued so well for him. I knew I never should love him when we started on our honeymoon. But the full realization came at the dance in Norwalk, seven hours later: ““I saw young people dancing. happy and withouta secret. I knew I never would be happy and that I had made another unhappy. Mr. Church is older—he is more than thirty. I had consented to marry him only after they had shown me he could give me a home, clothes, the good things of life. But at the dance I found I eouldn’t stand it. **T shall stay here. Mr. Church shall not find me and IJ never will return to him. After a. while, legal difficulties are put out of the way, then’”’ The pretty young bride halted, thinking of the poor young glass- worker with whom she fell in love at seventeen after Church had wrung from her a promise of mar- riage, ™ Church meanwhile is searching for his missing bride, imploring aid of the bride’s mother and of Mrs. T. W. Bowman, who was with him and his bride at the dance and introduced the bride to several young men with whom she danced. Church offers to restore the young woman to her place as his wife and declares he will seek her all his life. j “It’s no use,2’ she said today when told of Church’s search. “*T will never return to him. I eannot play the farce of love. Some people may say I was fickle, but I am not. I am true to the only man I love.’’ After the bride had been intro- duced to several young men at the danee, her husband, who did not danee, urged her to enjoy herself. After dancing four or five num- bers the bride asked her husband for her coat, hat and gloves, say- ing she was cold. Donning them she joined in a waltz, then disap- peared through the hall door, lit- 29 Ferally waltzing out of Church’s life, for police could not find her for him and he still is searching. the bride hiding in Fostoria. Statesville citizens—Clerk of, the Court J. A. Hartness, Alderman Connor, Chief of Police Connor, Policeman Kerr, J. S. Kerr, W. R. Mills and J. A.

New York, Oct. 6.—Fifteen suf- fragettes, crowned with new fall hats and elad in taidor-made gowns, laid siege to several polling places today and made futile. ef- forts to. get their names on the reg- istry list, They sueceeded, however, in col- lecting a vast throng and furnish- ing a great deal of amusement. Az the polling place of the Twelfth Assembly district, in Sixth avenue. Mrs. Julia Seton Sears, M. D., was the first of the suffragettes to de- mand the right to register from Chairman Peter B. Finey. ‘“Are you prepared to answer the question provided by the new law ?’’ asked Finey. “‘T am,’’ replied Dr. Sears. ‘*Then, how old is Ann?”’ asked Finey. This was greeted with a shout of laughter by the mere men. Mrs. Dr. Sears bristled with indig- nation and said shrilly: ‘‘Do you mean to insult me, sir?”’ ‘“‘Not at all,’’ replied Finey, ““but we’re alolwed to ask that question of all female voters, and if they can’t answer they can’t vote.’’ ‘Outrageous!’ eried Dr. Sears, and ‘‘Outrageous!’’ echoed the other 14 suffragettes, who. crowd- ed the doorway. Before the women could express their indignation at more length outside shouted, ‘‘Go home and mind the baby.’’ This ery was hurled at the suffragettes from every side, whereupon they fled in confusion. Reassembling, they bore down on a registration place in Eighth / avenue. There Mrs. G. Collis, an ‘artist, demanded permission to register, but was met with the same cruel refusal. ——~~<@>->—____.

The Despair of the Celebrated Singer is Indescribable—He Leit His Happy Home—His Love Has Never Been Equaled. New York, Oct. 6—That Enrice Caruso, the famous tenor, is fol- lowing all over Europe the woman who-left her husband for him and then deserted him for another man is made known through several [talian papers just received in this city. He has abandoned his beau- tiful home in Florence and is sell- ing the furnishings. One of the publications says: ‘“‘The tenor’s despair.is inde- scribable, for he is feeling the bites of jealousy to the utmost. He is traveling al lover Italy like a mad- man, running in her pursuit with another automobile, quite disposed to forgive her if she goes back to his affections. ““But nobody knows where she is and the sentence uttered by her while fleeing the villa is torment- ing atrociously the tenor’s heart. “““My sweetheart’s love has never been equaled, not even ap- proached by Caruso’s. Better live in starvation, than go back to him who kept me like a_slave,’? she said. “Things have now taken the following developments: The ten- or has appealed to the authority of the woman’s husband in order to trace the pair, and has gone so far as to invite him to a meeting, which was to take place in Flor- ence. But the husband never kept the appointment; he sent two friends to the tenor, and to them the gréat artist poured out all the bitterness of his soul. “Caruso is trying to discover traces of her, and has even promis- ed a princely remuneration to the postman who can furnish him with the address of the pair. When he left his villa he exclaimed with tears: ‘No I eannot live without that woman.’ ”’ ——— 3-44 -o —— ) COTTON MARKET. ; Local Market.

Mr. Taft is moved to utter the most violent language that he has employed on the stump since his tour began, in denouncing the ac- eusation of some ‘‘cheap, common, ordinary liar’? that the repub- lican candidate had declared a dollar a day to be enough for any working man. The republican candidate proba- bly would be less excited over the report of this accusation if he were familiar with the cireum- stances in which the venerable campaign charge was first exten- sively used. All of the above was taken from an exchange, but forget the name of the paper and for the price you are paying for real good reading matter, this editorial seems to point out a moral. It is this: ‘““When James Buchanan was the democratic candidate for pres- ident in 1856, the republican party in that campaign undertook to show that he favored the economic competition of the slave labor of the south with the free labor of the north. On this and other grounds Buchanan was accused of having declared that a dollar a day was enough for a workingman anyhow, and this campaign absurdity was freely cireulated.”’ a Transportation facilities are more inadequate today than at any time in New York’s history. The first omnibuses, put in the streets in 1830, came nearer to ac ecommodating the traveling public of those days than the great net- work of railways does now, for the demand for transportation contin- ually keeps ahead of the facilities provided. —_——_~+ + Bucklen’s Arnica Salve Wins.

Kanipe of Marion, Says Landmarks Recall Recollections of Historic Battle of 1876—The Crow Indians Pursue Old Cus- toms. The Mascot is in receipt of a letter from Mr. D. A. Kanipe of Marion, who has relatives and many friends in this city. Mr. Kanipe was a member of the Seventh cavalry that went down with General Custer before the charge of the red skins thirty- two years ago. Mr. Kanipe only survived the dreadful masacre as he was away from the command on scout duty at the time. The letter is an interesting one and is as follows: Crow Agency, Mont., September 20, 1908. Editor The Mascot: I am just leaving here after spending four days on the Custer battlefield and surrounding coun- try. You will readily understand what recollections a sight like this should bring back to one, who, in his youth, passed through an ex- perience such as I, and the men of the 7th Cavalry did thirty-two years ago. The landmarks about here enable one to recall many things which would never come to mind but for such means to prompt one. The hills and bluffs on which were enacted the deeds which made the 7th Cavalry an historic organization have, of course, undergone no change, and I find mighty few changes in other respects. The wide river bottom, on which we beheld the enormous Sioux and Cheyenne camps on the 25th day of June, 1876, is still marked with timber along the riv- er bank, now pretty much as then, and reference points of the vari- ous battles which occured are readily found. The valley of the Little Big Horn is now thickly settled with Crow Indians, who have their ranches for cattle and horses and a few of them are doing some- thing at cultivation in a small way. These are the same Crows who fought the Sioux a generation ago. Curley, Custer’s scout, now lives among them. He is a fine looking Indian, 52 years old, and for two days I have had the pleasure of his company in looking over the fighting ground. These Indians still pursue their old ways in many things. I have been both astonished and amused at one custom still practiced as much as ever. The men still take their morning bath, out of doors, without regard to the season of year. On two chilly mornings I have seen old men go from their tepees, covered only with a blank- et, wade out into the river and re- main there a long time bathing. The water itself is very chilly, as it comes from the mountains, and is as cool for drinking purposes as one could wish. These cold baths are considered ‘‘heap good medicine’’ by the In- dians, and are supposed by them to keep the body in a healthy state. In case of illness a still stronger treatment is resorted to. This is a combination of a sweat and cold plunge. Along the river one may see frame works of wil- low boughs stuck into the ground and beht over to meet at the top, something like a child’s play house. When Mr. Indian feels the need of medical assistance he goes to his sweat bower and covers it over with blankets. builds a hot fire and rolls into it about two or three bushels of stones, usually round hard stones from the size of one’s fist and up- ward. When these stones become red hot they are rolled out of the fire and into the bower. <A bucket of water is then dashed upon the heated rocks and Mr. Sick Indian erawls in and cooks himself in the steam and he thinks the sweat has progressed to the proper stage. He then crawls out, runs to the river and quickly plunges in. If he is too sick to handle himself he is carried and thrown in. He then goes to his tent or tepee and cov- ers himself with blankets, to await eh a |W. Railroads. He then| Suffice it to say that a “kill or eure’? should not be long in devel- oping. This kind of medicine is the universal remedy for all dis- eases. In this manner the Indian escapes the doctor pills which bur- den the white man. Yours truly, DANIEL A. KANIPE.

The most novel and best dressed act which has originated in Eu- rope in many years is that of the Marnello-Marnitz family, a com- pany of bell-ringing acrobats from Italy, who will be seen in States- ville on Tuesday October 13, with Ringling Brothers’ World’s Great- est Shows. The people of the act are threc sisters and a brother. There are many features to the performance that are new, and the act ‘ends with a little program of musie play ed on silver-toned bells while the members of the company are doing head balancing and somersault leaps from shoulder to shoulder. The act is new to the country, hav- ing been s-cured upon its first pre- sentation in Paris last winter by an agent of Ringling Brothers. The cosmopolitan aspect of this year’s company is striking. From Russia comes Riceobono, the great horse trainer, and his group of wonderful animals. In France was found the Patty brothers, who walk, skip the rope and dance on their heads; Les Bastings, wonder- ful equestrian acrobats; the St. Leon family of acrobats; Burgeos and Clara, gymnasts; the Martell: troupe of bicyclist; the Balliotts and the Milletts, aerialists, and Mille. La Belle Roche, the daring young woman who directs an au- tomobile ona double somersault flight across a 50-foot gap. The Mirza Golem acrobats were released by the Shah of Persia for their first tour of America, and the Imperial Japanese troupe comes from the Mikado’s court. Kerslake, the teacher of pigs, hails from New Zealand, and from Aus- tralia come the Jackson family of cyclists, the Flying Jordans and the Belfords, acrobats, Germany contributes Marguerite and Han- ley, acrobats; Schadel, the zebra rider; the Prosit Trio of burlesque bar performers, and Horton and Linden, clown aerialists. The Clarkonians, aerialists, Clark brothers, riders and the Aerial Shaws and Smith are from Eng- land, while the Marnella Marnitz family and the Bedini troupe of riders are from Italy. The Tore- adore company of burlesque bull- fichtrs; De Marlo, the contortion- ist, and Alverez, the acrialisf, are from Spain. Thus it may be seen that with the whole world drawn from nov- elty is sure to be the result. Much more than usual interest also at- taches to this year’s show because of its new parade, its glittering in- troductory spectacle and the greatly enlarged menagerie. ee Potato Bearing Apple Tree. An apple tree on John Wilson’s farm, near Gillette, Wyo., is bear- ing fine Irish potatoes instead of fruit. Wilson claims no eredit for evolving the phenomenon, being as deeply mystified as to its cause as the others who have examine] the tree and tested the potatoes. The freak spuds taste like ordinary po- tatoes, but differ from the ordi- dinary kind in that each eye con- tains an apple seed. _ —~+<+are— The average life of a ship is about 26 years. 4 Every piece of plate glass in the world today is due to be broken within 10 years, according to the law of average. + There is an average of nearly two persons killed each day in New York city by falling from windows, down steps, into excava.- tions or in some such manner, ——_++@>-—_—_— Heavy, impure blood makes a muddy, pimply complexion, head- aches, nausea, indigestion.

Chicago, Oct. 4—Ten thousand school children in Chicago are in- sufficiently nourished, some live constantly on the verge of starva- tion, and many are not clad enough to keep them in a healthy condition, according to a report made to the board of education to- day. Specific instances of poverty, noted in a house-to-house inspec- tion, are given in the report, which is regarded as reflecting a social condition in Chicago. Many parents were found to sleep so late that the children went to school without breakfast. Numerous pupils reported inabili- ty to attend school because of in- sobriety of parents. In the poorer quarters heart- vending conditions were dis- closed. Children deserted or left by parents who had been sent to jail were numerous. It is expected that the school board will take action on the con- ditions two weeks hence. ———_++@ro—— FRENCH FADS. Vanity Buttons—Natural Flower Boas—Embroidered Boas. A very new button used on ex- pensive new models of mateor is large and round, in its its certer is a miror rimmed with gold. The gown on which these buttons were seen was not for the stage, there- fore we may possibly see them on the clothing of ultra-fashionables before the season is very far ad- vanced. Boas of natural roses or orchids or any other flower of goodly size and general popularity are now a fad in Paris and this is probably the embryo of what will later be- eome a full fledged fashion in arti ficial flowers, helped out as a soft- ener by crushed rosettes or inter- twining of malines of shades matching the blossoms. Just now, to show the exclusive- ness of the fad, the clever Parisian now an dthen absentmindedly (7?) piucks a few petals from the boa, daintily inhales their fragrance or erushes them between her pearly teeth and then, also absentminded- ‘lly, allows them to flutter to the ground. The mere millionaires who foot the floral bill seem pleas- ed with this new way of spending their dollars. And the non-millionaines? Well, they are ‘‘concentrating’’ on the hope that some less expensive way of presenting their lady loves with flowers will develop before the leaves begin to turn. Asa fashion the rose or orchid boa, however, is exquisite.

Jenny Lind and Grisi were rivals for pouular favor in London. Both wer invited to sing the same night at a court con-{ cert. Jenny Lind, being the younger, sang first, and was so dis- turbed by the fierce, scornful look of Grisi that she was at the point of failure, when suddenly an inspi- ration came to her. The accom- panist was striking his final chords. She asked him to rise, and took-the vacant. seat. Her fingers wandered over the keys in sang a little prayer which she had loved asa child. She hadn’t sung it for years. As she sang she was no longer in the presence of royal- ty, but singing to loving friends in her fatherland. Softly at first the plaintive notes floated on the air, swelling louder and richer every moment. The singer seemed to throw her whole soul into that weird, thrilling, plaintiff ‘‘prayer.’’ Gradually the the song died away and ended in a sob. There was silence, the si- lence of admiring wonder. The audience sat spellbound. Jenny Lind lifted her sweet eyes to look into the scornful face that had so disconcerted her. There was no fierce expression now; instead a teardrop glistened on the long, ‘black lashes, and after a moment, with the impulsiveness of a child of the tropies, Grisi crossed to Jenny Lind’s side, placed her arm about her and kissed her, utterly regardless of the audience. —_~+<2>>—__—_- price of tomatoes is $17 a ton, and a higher figure is expected. ——_++2> >—__—- A strong tough metal, harder than quartz, derfully advance mining, says a British engineer, by the supply of ‘‘diamond”’ drills. much a loving prelude, and then she- Around Woodstown, N.

Hearing the cooing of a dove. she looked around and saw a white dove perched on the organ and listening to the music with great appreciation. She learned afterward that the dove had been a regular atendant at church for eight or ten years, be- ing attracted by the music, of which it was very fond. It was twelve years old, and was the pet of a lady who lived near. After church the dove was taken to his Sunday school class by a boy, and seemed to enjoy the proceedings. Unlike many church-goers, the weather made no difference to the doves. as every Sunday, summer and winter, he was at his post on the organ.

A Proper Registration Under the Grandfather Clause Will Ex- empt Voter From Further Dis- qualification—Blank Whic= Ap- plicant Must Sign for a Perma- nent Certificate of Registration. “Certificate of permanent regis- ‘ration’? is the heading of a special ‘orm of certificate that is being vranted to appli¢ants under the ‘grandfather clause’? who shall register between now and the date of the closing of the books shortly before the November election. This certificate is made out partly in blank, the blanks to be filled in by the applicant, and when one of these is given to a voter registering under the: ‘‘erandfather clause’’ the said cer- tificates will entitle the holder to be registered at any subsequent registration that may be ordered without submitting to any exami- nation further than the presenta- tion of his certificate. The Oath Required. The applicant for a permanent certificate of registration under the ‘‘grandfather clause,”’ is re- quired to fill out the following blank and take the following oath as provided for in section 4,325 of 1905: North Carolina, County, .. . Shep pe eet ag Precinct. I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I am a eitizen of the United States and of the State of North Carolina. I am....years of age: I was on the first day of January, A.

Arm- field from 4 until 6 o’clock. An excellent program for the year was submitted and accepted, subject being ‘‘Our Own Coun- try,’’—which is a tour to our most interesting cities with illustrations of its treasures of art and seulp- ture, its vast resources—each sub- ject presented in a most attractive manner and also the personalities of many distinguished citizens, authors and statesmen. Being partly a business meeting various other matters were passed upon. An instructive article upon the Roycrofterg and their exqui- site handicraft, the hand illumi- nating and binding of beautiful + books (volumes de luxe) was read by several members. The club has rendered itself helpful by placing a four year’s A. & M. College scholarship with a deserving Statesville boy and a Horner University school scholar- ship of $100 has also been placed in its hands by a prominent bus- iness man for which any young boy may apply at once and enter school now. The out of town guests were the mother and sister of the hostess, Mrs. Thomas Faweett of Mount Airy and Mrs. D. K. Pope, who leaves soon for her new home in Oklahoma City, Okla. After a pleasant social visit the hostess served light refreshments. The club now entering upon it fifth year, has always maintained a kindly, courteous spirit and the excellent qualities of individual courage and justice have been strengthened. Cordial hospitality has been ex- tended to memebrs of other elub circles whose club life has been duly accredited in the past with the same necessary qualities of kindness and courtesy. 4 Mrs. Ausley Honored. The president of the State Fed- eration of Women’s Clubs, Miss Margaret Gibson, of Wilmington, N. C., has appointed Mrs. D. M.

One of the features of the meeting was the pledge made by every member of the Cotton Asso ciation in that county not to sell cotton this season for less than 10 ‘veents unless they are absolutely foreed todo so. This price, Mr. Moore says, the farmers think is not enough, but they will not be willing to take a fraction less. He believes that Spartanburg farmers will stick to this pledge. The un- usual interest and atendance at this meeting is due, he believes, to the present low price of the staple.

Two Women Llaim Andrews BOTH LIVE IN BALTIMORE. Nephews Are Trying to Deter- mine Which Woman is His Wid- ow—Meanwhile Body of Former Politician Lies in Washington— One Woman Said to Have Cer- tificate. Washington, Oct. 7.#—Two wo men, each of whom claims to be the lawful wife of the late Benja- min Andrews. the former Balti- more politician and proprietor of the Merchants’ Hotel, this city, are contesting for the possession of the body, which is held at the undertaking establishment of S. H. fines pending the settlement ot the controversy. Representing Mrs. Laura C, An- drews, of Baltimore street, Balti- mere, Garnett Clark, lawyer and son of President Clark, of the Dvovers and Merchants’ bank, is here pressing the claim. of his e‘jent against these of Mrs. Ber- tha, formerly Miss Bertha Virginia Werner of Payson strect, Balti- more, who is at the late home of the dead man, in possession. Con- siderable time has been scpent in conferences between the two factions and Dr. Joseph Hart and Mr. Charles W. Hart both of Bal- timore and nephews of Mr. An- Andrgws, who declar: that they wish to see the legal wife obtain the body and will endeavor to de- cide without prejudice or favor. Mr. Andrews, who came to this city from Baltimcre about two years ago, went to his former home to hear Mr. Bryan speak three weeks ago. While there Andrews, who had only one leg, had his right foot bruised by some- one stepping on it. He was brought to this city suffering from blood poisoning and taken to the George Washington University hospital, where one of his toes was amputated. The infection spread, and the amputation of his remain- ing foot was necessitated. With the death of Mr. Andrews came the rival widow claimants. When Mr. Clark arrived he com- municated with Mrs. Bertah An- drews, but at first she would not see him. Mr. Clark refused to dis- cuss the matter tonight, but from relatives of the late Mr. Andrews it was learned that he represents Mrs. Laura G. Andrews, who is said to have been the daughter of Mr. Andrews’ second wife, who has long been dead. This makes her his step-daughter and of no blood kin. Clark is said to have exhibited last night a marriage certificate which he alleges was is- sued to his client and Mr. Ad- drews in August, 1902. Mrs. Bertha Andrews was mar- ried to Mr. Andrews, it is assert- ed, about five years ago. Up toa late hour tonight she had pro- duced no marriage certificate. Her brother is representing her, through a lawyer. The contesting factions met to- night at the Metropolitan Hotel, where Mr. Clark is stopping. The result has not yet been learned. The Messrs. Hart, nephews of the dead man, say that their only interest in the matter was to see that the legal wife of Mr. Andrews received the body. “*In this lamentable affair,’’ said Dr. Joseph Hart, ‘‘there is but one thing for us to do, and that is to see that the legal wife is recogniz- ed. Neither of us ever dreamed of such a state of affairs until we were informed of the rival claim yesterday. My uncle introduced PERSONAL NOTES.

The Mascot was informed this noon, by a gentleman who certain- ly ought to know what he was talking about that Mr. A. F. Hor- ton has been offered and accepted the position. Mr. Horton hails from Danville, Va., but he is no stranger here. He is a personal friend of the Sloan family and at one time was superintendent of the Kincaid fur- niture Company.

No. 1.—On last Thursday night the little child of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Collins was found dead in bed. Ruth had not been well for two days, but was not thought to be seriously ill. So the fond parents were asleep, not dreaming that death was thére. The death angel angel came and caried away the pride and joy of their home. Litle Ruth was most lovely and bright. Her smiles and little feet are very much missed in the home as she was the only child. Ruth Lougene Collins was born September 22, 1907. She died October 2nd 1908 and was laid to rest in the cemetery at Rocky Mount at 11 o’clock. The funeral was conducted by Rev. T. B. John- son. —~~+@>-o—____. A Real Electrician. The Iredell Telephone Company has secured the services of L, J. Freel to look after its wires and see if he can’t ‘‘tone’’ the system up a bit. Mr, Freel eames from Ohio and is well recommended. In a way he will sueceed Mr. Lacey who ‘‘dropped out of sight’’ one dark night and was later said to have gone to visit a sick rela- tive. Mrs. Bertha Andrews as his wife to us. We take sides with neith- er faction. I have not the slight- est idea as to the amount of the estate of Mr. Andrews.”’ f Tide Is Strong ror Mr. Bryan SO SAYS CHAIRMAN MACK. All the Democrats Have to do is Hold What They Now Have President’s Letters Have Helped Democrats Immensely. Chicago, Oct. 7—Returning to Chicago yesterday to take up the Democratic campaign direction in the west, Chairman Mack, of the Democratic National committee, declared that the tide was strong for Bryan in the east and that if Democrats could hold their ad- vantage there the Democratic tick- et would be surely elected. To the Associated Press Chair- man Mack gave the following statement on his arival in Chicago. “‘T have been three weeks in the east, where I have studied the po- litical situation from every angle. I have noted every drift and cur- rent and today I am prepared to say that if we hold the steady gains we have made in the last two months the election is ours. “‘New York is going Democrat- ic. In fact there will be a land- slide for Bryan in the Empire state, and New Jersey, Rhode Is- land, Maryland, Delaware and Ohio will also be found in the dem- ocratic column.’’ “The reports from the state and county chairman is the middle west are equally encouraging. In- diana is safely Democratic. Even the republicans do not seriously claim it.”?__ Mack said President Roosevelt’s letter had helped the Democrats and that Congressman Long- worth’s declaration that the coun- try would have 8 years of Taft after which Roosevelt would be president for eight years, merely confirmed what has been plain for some time that the president was seeking to establish and per- petuate a Roosevelt dynasty. ————~++a>o—___ Skating Rink Opens. Tonight at 8 o’clock the skating rink will open and as it is under an entirely new management, it is expected that, if for no other reason than mere curiosity, the boys and girls will go around to see ‘‘what’s doing.’’ Mr. F. T. Walser of Asheville. son of Chief Clerk Walser at the Internal Revenue office is the mov- ing spirit in the interprise and he has associated with him, Mr. Rob- ert Gaither of this city. These young men assure us that they propose to conduct the place on a high moral plane and find out whether or not Statesville wants roller skating this winter. Mr. Walser is an experienced “rink man.’? As he puts it “‘That’s about all I know.’” For several days he has been busy supervising a general over- hauling of the skates and un- packing some new ones that have arrived. When the doors open tonight Messers. Walser and Gaither will be on hand to weleome you. ——n DO Capt. Jones Promoted. Capt. W. C. Jones, of Spencer, has been promoted from a freight to a passenger run and will run in the future between Salisbury and Goldsboro. 3 He is one of the Southern’s most capable conductors, and this bet- ter run comes to him by way of re- cognition and faithful service.

WILL SEE NEW PARADE. _—_ Circus Day Visitors Have Unusual Treat in Store for Them. There is a treat in those who turn out on the morn - ing of cireus day. as word comes from other cities that the Rineline Brothers are presenting this year the finest street parade of their brilliant career as showmen. Last winter all the material used in this parade was built new in Germany, France an: store for Japan. It is a three-mile pageant of gol- den-throne ‘ears. band wagons of carved mahogany, tableau vans of fantastic Japanese design. elabo- rately, chiseled cages and dens. Turkish howdahs. Italian statuary. elephant and horse blankets made in Persia and flags, standards. ban- ners and costumes of the finest China Silk. A 20-camel team hitehed to a gorgecus tableau is a novel The largest herd of ele- phants in eaptivity will march in single file, stepping clumsily to the musie of bands, organs. chimes and drum and bugle corps. Near- ly 1,300 men, women and children from every land where the sun shines will take part in the mighty procession, and 650 of the finest horses will be exhibited. More strange animals than are owned by any other circus will be displayed in open dens. This year’s parade is the finest ever offered by the Ringling Brothers, who long have been famous for the brilliancy of their street spectacle. No other circus play. @| has ever atempted to even equal their world-famed street show. It is equally true that the perform- ance they are offering is distinctly superior to all others, especially so in novelty, variety and its Eu- ropean aspect. When the big cireus comes to Statesville on Tuesday, October 13th, visitors wil lobserve many changes in its make-up. The pa- rade is all new, there is an entire- ly new company of artists coneern- ed in the giving of the program, a pew spectacle has been added, and | for a climax to a great perform- ance the Ringling Brothers have brought from France Mlle La Belle Roche and her death-coaxing automobile double somersault act. Nothing has gone before that this act can be compared to. Instead of one somersault, as heretofore, this automobile, with Miss Roche at the wheel, turns two complete revolutions in the air high above the heads of the audience while leaping a wide gap. Horse Blows Out Candle. The “‘Good-Night’’ horse, pro- perty of the famous Riccobono of Russia, is one of a company of trained horses this season being exhibited with Ringling Brothers’ World’s Greatest Shows. It wears boots, coat and trousers, takes them off when a gong strikes 10 o’clock, makes its bed, blows out the candle and retires.

As the time draws nearer the election of Mr. Bryan becomes more certain. Mr. Daniels, who is chairman of the press bureau of the National Campaign gives out the fololwing statement of the case which is very conservative: A careful review of the politi- cal situation throughout the coun- try convinces Democratic mana- gers that Wiliam J. Bryan is practically assured of election to the presidency. In a dozen or more states running from Connec- ticute in the east all through the Middle West and even to the Pa- cific Coast, the Republicans are confronted with factional fights within their own lines, while everywhere from Coast to Coast the Democrats are thorough united as they have not been since 1892. The trend of sentiment is unmis- takably for Bryan, while the pop- ular planks of the Demoeratie platform, such as the guarantee of bank deposits, tariff revision, anti- injunction, publicity of campaign funds, the election of eampaign funds, the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people, the prohibition of Asi- atic immigration, and many others are bringing thousands of Repub- _lieans to the support of the Dem- ocratie ticket. Hence the Demoerats regard Mr. Bryan’s election not as a pos- sibility but as a strong possibility. In the following states with an aggregate of 120 votes in the elee- toral college, the Republicans are making no campaign worthy of the name, and the only question concerning them is the size of the Democratic majority in each. Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala- bama, Misissippi, Tennessee, Ar- kansas, Louisiana and Texas. Oklahoma, which the Demo- erats carried at the state election by 30,000 and which is even more strongly for Bryan and his ideas. is also coneeded to the Democrats and likewise Nevada with three votes is admitted by Republicans to be unquestionably for Bryan. Thus there are, with the Solid South and the six Democratie states of Missouri, Kentucky, Ok- lahoma, Montana, Nevada and Maryland 172 votes for Bryan at the outset. In addition to these Bryan must get 70 votes to win. As shown these states are rea- sonably Democratic, West Virgin- ia, Indiana, Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado. They have 45 votes thus bringing Mr. Bryan within 25 votes of the goal. | New York and Ohio are proba- bly Democratic. New York alone. with those already mentioned as Democratic, would be sufficient. Ohio and one other small state, such as Idaho, Utah, Washington, Oregon, Delaware or Rhode Is- land would be enough. These states are doubtful: Mli- nois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota. South Dakota, Idaho. Utah, Conneetieut and Rhode Is- land. There is a good fighting chance in Michigan, Iowa, Washington, Oregon, and California. Demé- erats look for a landslide, similar to that of 1892, and are confident ? of Bryan’s election. $+ Will be Brought Home. The Charlotte Observer says: Mr. J. H. Hoffman has returned to Statesville from Lynchburg, Va., where he and Mrs. Hoffman were summoned last Saturday by the news of the illness of their daughter, Miss Amelia Hoffman, who suffered an attack of appen- dicitis at the Randolph-Macon College for Women where she en- tered school about two weeks ago. When Mr, Hoffman left Lynch- burg his daughter’s condition was improved and as soon as she is able to travel Mrs. Hoffman will bring her home for an operation. —_++@ > Pythians Tonight. The Statesville Lodge Knights of Pythias will have to work in the third degree tonight. A full atendance is very much desired. Victoria Band. The Nashville Tennessean says: Victor and his Royal Vencian band were given an enthusiastic reception at the Ryman auditori- um last night. The house was lit- erally packed, more than 1,000 people being present. Of the ad- mirable program of classical and popular musie which was present- ed, notable were the vocal solos by Mrs. Grace Key-Miller. The demonstrations which her efforts evoked were tremendous. Victor is less than ostentatious, but a man of decidedly more pleas- ing personality than Creators, who, with is band, has appeared at the auditorium more than once during the past year. Victor works earnestly, but does not in- dulge in a large number of superf- lous girations; nor is his counten- ance distorted with grimaces. His band, however, is admirably trained, and responds to his direc- tion with sympathy and _intelli- gence. The opening number of the pro- gram was a march ‘‘Southern Beauties’’ by Victor himself. In this composition the conductor has demonstrated considerable ability as a composer. Among the most elaborate features of the program were a granJ selection from ‘‘Car- man’’ with incidental solos by Sig- nor Tontrolli, D’Titalia and Poril- lo; the famous minuot, Padersws- ki, with clarinet cadenzas by Sig- nor Ciani, D’Italia, Puerillo, Di- palma and Laulle. ——++@>»—___ Barium Springs.

Richardson Then Kills His Sister-IN-Law And Himself.— Had Brooded Over Domestic Troubles and Resented Interter- ence of Wife’s Family. Norfolk, Va., Oct. 8—Enraged at the fancied interference of his wife’s family in his domestie trou- bles, John W. Richardson this morning shot and instantly killed Beverly W. Cromwell, his father- in-law, 206 North Marshall avenue, this city; Miss Josephine Crom- well, his sister-in-law, and a mo- ment later took his own life in the presence of his wife and 6-year-old son Cromwell. The tragedy oc- curred on the estate of Rear-Ad- miral Washington L. Capps, U. S. N., a part of which is leased as a truck farm by Richardson. It is near Lambert’s Point. Richardson who was a cripple, had been brooding over trouble of long standing between himself and wife and had been drinking heav- ily. The couple had been separat- ed, Mrs. Richardson living with her father. Saturday night she met her husband at the home of J. E. Happer, a neighbor, and a re- eoncilliation was effected. It is said that Richardson had _ not touched liquor since. The recon- ciliation* was made without the eonsent of the father. Beverly W. Cromwell, who is 70 years old, and a brother of Sheriff A. C. Cromwell, of Norfolk coun- ty. and former state Senator E. Finley Cromwell, went to Richard- son’s farm yesterday, it is suppos- ed, to take his daughter back home. but before he reached the house was fired on by Richardson. The shot fired Killed the horse which Cromwell was driving, but that did not stop Richardson. An instant later he killed the aged man. Five minutes later, stand- ing in the shade of gnarled trees about his home, Richardson raised his gun loaded with buekshot and killed Josephine Cromwell, 26 years old. as she entered the yard from the rear with little Cromwell After the lapse of another few minutes the farmer turned the gun on himself and blew off half of his own head. A eoroner’s jury brought in a verdict of death by gunshot wounds from a gun in Richard- son’s hands in each ease. When Beverly Cromwell’s body Was examined a revolver was found in his pocket. After having spent the night at the farmhouse alone with his wife Richardson arose early yesterday morning and, aeeording to Wil- liam Nelson, foreman, ‘seemed to be in unusually good spirits.

Cromwell drove up about 7 o’clock this morning. Fora few monments the two men talked, when sudden- ly Cromwell pulled his horse’s reins and raised his whip to turn his buggy toward Richardson’s house. Richardson raised his gun and when Cromwell urged the horse forward the first shot rang out and the animal reared and fell Cromwell sprang from the bug- gy, and after a quick word to Richardson ran across the field. GRAHAM, GRIMES, KLUTTZ, Address an Enthusiastic Audience at the Old West End Church Last Night—Speeches Were Also Made by Mr. J. A. Hart- ness and Lawyer Dorman Thompson. There was a large and enthu- silastic audience out last night at the old West End Methodist church to hear the democratic speakers. There were three principal speeches, besides those made by the gentlemen who introduced the | distinguished visitors to the city. These were made by Major W. A. Graham, candidate for com- missioner of agriculture, Mr. Bry- an Grimes, secretary of state, and Mr. Whitehead Kluttz, of Salis- bury. All of the speakers were well re- ceived and the applause which fre- quently interrupted them showed most conclusively that the senti- ments expressed by the orators were thoroughly endorsed. National State and county is- sues were discussed. Mr. Kluttz was the first speaker and he was introduced by Attor- ney Dorman Thomgpson. Clerk of Courts J. A. Hartness introduced the other speakers. Following the speaking a demo- eratie campaign elub was organ- ized and officers elected as fol- lows: President, W. A. Moose. Vice-president, W. J. Lazenby. Secretary, M. P. Alexander. The elub will hold its first meet- ing tomorrow night and it is ex- pected that there will be a large enrollment of new members. ———_~++<@o—__—_ Building Operations. Mr. R. A.

The older man fell forward on his face, with the entire charge of shot in his face and head. Richardson walked toward the body and after pushing it with his foot passed on rapidly toward where the tragedy was completed. A few moments before Mr. Crom- well arrived Miss Josephine Crom- well alighted froma car with Cromwell Richardson. After the shooting. of Msis Cromwell, according to the boy, Mrs. Richardson then turned to her husband and begged him to kill her and her son. Richardson placed the gun to his neck and pulled the trigger. The charge by Richardson of al- leged domestie interference by Miss Cromwell, one of his victims, meets with strong denial from friends of the murdered girl, who say that instead of this, she was in every way devoted to Richardson. Richardson is believed to have Richardson shouted to the old man J been mentally unbalaneed. YOUNG AYERS RETURNS. Came to Statesville Last Night and This Morning Reported at The United States Army Recruiting Station for Duty—Will go Back to Columbus Next Week. Young West Ayers, who was on Wednesday found not guilty of criminally assaulting Maud Bass. at Charlotte where he was on trial for his life in the Mecklenburg county court, arrived in Statesville last night on the 8:10 train from Charlotte and went at once to the home of his parents on Center street. A number of his friends called at the house to offer their econgrat- ulations and when he came over to the army recruiting station this morning he was repeatedly con- gratulated on the outcome of his trial. The young man reported for duty to the recruiting officer in this city and as soon as the matter of transportation can be arranged he will leave for Columbus, Ohio, of Mecklenburg county. The army officers refused to sur- render Ayers until the Sheriff had made a deposit to cover the ex- pense of his return to the bar- racks, in ease he should be ac- quitted. This forfeit money will proba- bly be forwarded here and in the mean time Ayers will remain at the home of his parents in this city. —____~¢-4@ > ______ DR. ANDERSON RETURNS. In Company With Dr. E.

But Neither He Nor His Family Lose Much Sleep—Will Not Change Their Manner of Living and Mr. Shear Will Continue His Law Practice. New York, Oct. 9.—Mr. Theo- dore R, Shear, a lawyer in Wall street, learned yesterday that he had inherited one half of a $20,- 000,000 estate left by his unele, John C. Packard, who died sud- denly in Santa Cruz, Cal., last Sat- arday. Notwithstanding his good for- tune Mr. Shear, who is 60 years old, will not give up his law prac- tice. He lives in West One Hun- dred and Twentytieth street, which has been his home for 10 Y years. Speaking for her husband, who has been confined to his home suf- fering from rheumatism for sever- al months Mrs. Shear said: ““The inheritance of a fortune of $10,000,000 will not change our manner of living.’’ Children of the Shears—two sons and one daughter—seemed little concerned when they learned that their father had become a wealthy man. ‘“We have always been in com- fortable cireumstances,’’ said Mrs. Shear, ‘‘and we really could have got along without the money. We are going to stay right here in this house, and Mr. Shear is not going to give up his law practice. Of course, $10,000,000 is a large sum of money, and I really can’t see how Mr. Shear will invest it.’’ Mrs. Shear was unable to ex- plain how it feels to inherit mil- lions, but she admitted that since receiving the news her husband, who has been very ill, is rapidly recovering, and probably will be able to return to his office within a few days. ———++@-—_— At the Opera House. ‘“Was She to Blame?’’ will be one of the guaranteed attractions at the opera house Oetober 16, and the manager is to be congratulated on engaging an attraction of this class.

The comedy is pure and simple and plenty of it, all the way through the bill from the sublime to the ridiculous. A beautiful blending of pathos and comedy once seen never forgotten. _———? <> Skating Rink Opened. The skating rink opened last night under the management of Messrs. F. T. Walser and Robert Gaither.

Infuriated Husband of Wife Who Had Died of Hydrophobia Would Not Permit the Coro- ner’s Order to be Carried Out. New York, Oct. 8—Fearing death at the hands of the infuriat- ed husband of Mrs. Harvey M. Day, the Elizabeth (N. J.) woman who died of hydrophobia, Dr. W. Byron Coakley, a specialist on ra- bies, of 636 West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, said today he was forced to flee from the Day home, where he had gone to per- form an autopsy on Mrs. Day’s body by order of the coroner. Dr. Coakley declared he had been threatened with death by Day if he dared to go to the Day house, and that after being refus- ed protection by the Elizabeth po- lice he braved Day’s wrath and went to the Day home at 16 Cherry street, only to.be ordered out. Mrs. Day was one of four per- sons who were bitten by a rabid dog. The other victims were her husband, Mrs. Samuel Doty and Archie Burns, a letter carrier, of Elizabeth. All took the Pasteur treatment, but Mrs. Day died af- ter being nine days in a_ stupor. This is said to be unusual in per- sons afflicted with rabies, which is generally marked by violent con- vulsions. tr Mr. White’s Mother Iil. Mr. T.

The German barber who is re- ported in the New York World to have won a bet from a New York lawyer on the statement that he voted for James G. Blaine for President in 1884 and had a right so to vote, although he had been only a year in this country, was born out by the law governing the qualifications for voting in Wis- consin where the barber claimed to have cast his ballot. The right to vote is conferred upon aliens who have declared in- tentions to become naturalized cit- izens of the United States in near- ly one hglf of the union, while in the other half only actual citizens may vote. In several states an alien who has declared his inten- tions may vote after a residence of six months. The Gotham lawyer made the mistake of confusing the condi- tions of naturalization with those of suffrage. The naturalization laws pro- vide that no alien may be natur- alized until after residence of five years in the country and no alien would have the right by federal law to vote within that period un- less the state made the provision of a shorter period of residence. The distinction is that natura- lization is conferred by the federal government only, but that suf+ frage is the gift of the state. ———_++@>—___ Appointments for Saturday Night. Mr. Zeb. V.

Is it always something unreasonable? Is it to be regarded as necessarily an in- truder among the more sober activ- ities of the mind? Is it an enemy of clear thinking—the counterfeit of a true judgment? On the con- trary, there is a certain form of prejudice which admits of defense. There is a prejudice which has a roper place in the mind and must e reckoned with as a natural factor in our thinking and not as an ab- normal and disturbing element. It is very easy to insist that reason should be free of prejudice. But no one maintains consistently and continuously so high an ideal in practice. It is not merely that prejudices will steal in despite our most vigilant guard and in the face of protest and serious effort on our part to drive them out. But in « certain sense there is a true func. tion for prejudice to perform amid the varied activities of the mind. A prejudice is not always an unreason- able judgment. It may be merely unreasoned. And there is a vast dif- ference in this distinction, for the judgment which is simply unreason- ed may preve in the course of events to be eminently reasonable and as such, even in its unreasoned form, may serve a most useful purpose in our thinking. These unreasoned judgments ara absolutely indispensable in the econ- omy of our mental life. If we ex- cluded all judgments which are not accompanied by a satisfactory proof of their validity, a tremendous waste of time and energy would re sult, for it is a fundamental law of our intellectual activity that the processes of reason by which we ar- rive at certain conclusions often drop out of memory. But the con- clusions themselves remain as a per- manent deposit of knowledge. The ee which we once knew and per- ectly understood may be forgotten, put the truth which it established is lodged permanently in the mind. The history of its origin we nc longer remember. It appears, there- fore, as a detached judgment.— Scribner’s Magazine. Very Hard! The wedding was over—all the ceremony and the splendor and the speechifying and the smiles. Amid a shower of shoes and rice the bride and bridegroom had departed im their carriage for Charing Cross sta- tion. The affected parent stood in si- lence as the lucky pair vanished gradually into space. Tears stream- ed down his cheeks. The sympa thetic guest laid a compassionate hand upon his arm. “T know—I know!” he murmured gently. “It must have been hard indeed for you to lose your daugb- ter.” The old man raised his head and nodded. “So hard—so hard!” he answer- ed, dashing a sign of weakness from his eyes. “But Ethel is a dear, sweet girl and would not fail us.

There is a cabinet officer at Wash- ington who for a long time was : greatly annoyed by the incessant requests for promotion preferred by @ young woman in his department who was a friend of his family. One afternoon last winter she en- tered the great man’s office with the usual application, Unfortunately the head of the department was in anything but a good humor that day. So he flared up instantly. “Upon my word,” exclaimed bh E “vou clerks are the bane of my life ou”— He stopped short, as ff re straining hims Then he burst out again with, “I wish to goodnest you were 6 man!” The young woman flashed a glanee at him from a particularly fine of eyes, and as a smile came to her B| handsome face she replied, “Mr. Secretary, you are the first man who ever wished that.” This was too much for the chief, She got her promotion.

Resolutions adopted by the board of directors of the school for the deaf at Morganton at the meeting held in Morganton, Octo- ber 6, 1908: Whereas, God in his inserutable wisdom has seen fit to remove from earth our friend and broth- er, W. G. Lewis, president of our board, therefore be it resolved by the board of directors of the North Carolina school for the deaf and dumb, in session assembled: First, That we bow in humble submission to the will and wisdom of that Divine hand which took from us one who has ever proved true to the sacred interests intrust- ed to his keeping by the state of North Carolina, who has ‘‘stood four square to all the winds that blew”’ in the fearless discharge of every duty arising from his con- nection with this school, whose ad- vice and counsel has helped us as often as his genial and kindly presence has cheered us in our meetings; and that we feel that our own personal bereavement is small compared to the state’s loss in Mr. Lewis’s death. Second, That to his bereaved family we tender in this sad affiic- tion the assurance of our sym- pathy and tears; and our prayer is that He who has promised to be a Father to the fatherless and a husband to the widow will bind up their broken hearts, and comfort them in this trial, and show them the silver linings to this cloud. Third, That a copy of these res- olutions be furnished to the family of the deceased, to the state pa- pers for publication, and be spread upon the minutes of the proceed- ings of this board. A. C.

And no wonder. No one capable of ex- periencing the finer emotions of human heart can read this simple and very beautiful eulogy upon the dog’s constancy to his master without carrying with him lasting impressions of it. The tribute it- self and the story of the incident which brought it out are given as follows: The senator was attending court in a country town, and while wait- ing for the trial of a case in which he was interested, was urged by the attorneys in a dog case to help them. Evidence was introduced to show that the defendant had shot the dog, a handsome Collie, in malice, while the other evidence went to show that the dog had at- tacked the defendant. Senator Vest had no part in the trial and was not disposed to speak. The attorneys urged him, however, and he consented. He arose, was si- lent for a moment, and then said: “‘Gentlemen of the Jury: The best friend a man has in all the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those to whom we trust our happiness.and our good name may become traitors to their faith. The money that asman has he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. The peo- ple who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when suc- eess is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its clouds upon our heads. “‘The one absolutely unselfish friend that man ean have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, and the one that nev- er proves ungrateful or treacher- ous, is his d6g. A man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely if only he may be near his master’s side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if that mas- ter were a prince. “When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journeys through the heavens. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes the master in its embrace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground,, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the grave-side will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even unto death.’’ ; Senator Vest sat down. He had spoken in a low voice, without a gesture. He made no reference to the evidence or merits of the ease. When he finished, judge and jury were wiping their eyes. The jury filed out, but soon returned with a verdict of $500 for the p\aintiff, whose dog had been shot; and it was said the defendant considered himself lucky to have escaped hanging. +a e—__ Miss Lillian Sharpe and Miss Edith Smith are among those to take in the Winston fair. —KS Senator Vest’s Tribute to the Dog. | A Surprise Marriage.

Negroes for ‘Death Chair FOUR ARE NAMED TO DIE. Quartette 4t Richmond, Va., Scheduled to Enter Eternity Within the Next Thirty Days— First to Try Electric Chair in That State. Richmond, Va., October 10.—It scems that the fates have deereed that negro eriminals shall be the first to try the electric chair at the penitentiary under the new law adopted by the legislature providing for electrocution instead of hanging in cases where courts and juries find persons guilty of crimes punishable by death. The first to sit in the death-chair is Henry Smith, of Portsmouth who will be eleetricuted on Octo- ber 13 for eriminal assault. The arrangements practieally completed for the ex- eeution by Capt. E. F. Morgan, superintendent of the peniten- tiary, though the exact details have not been made public. Cap- tain Morgan is in full authority under the law, and will therefore personally direct the execution. The chair was completed several weeks ago, and has been thorough- ly tested by experts. Captain Morgan has not said at what hour the first execution will take place, though it is expected that it will oceur early in the morning. The four negroes who have so far been sentenced to electrocution are: = Henry Smith, Portsmouth, Octo- ber 13, for assault. Winston Green, Chesterfield, Oc- tober 30, for attempted asasult. John Finney, Franklin county, October 30, for attempted assault. Thomas J. Manns, November 6, for murder. —— a Some Tall Corn. Mr. N. P. Watt this morning had a stalk of corn about the eity with him that was so large and tall that it could not be gotten up the stairs and into The Mascot office. Consequently the agricultural edi- tor was summoned down to the sidewalk below where it was al- ready being inspected by a good sized crowd that had gathered to eaze at the wonder. The stalk measured sixteen feet in height and the top had been bent over and_ broken _ be- fore it had matured, other wise it would easily have grown to twen- ty or more feet. Iligh above a person’s head, So high indeed, that it would require a good sized step lader to reach them, were two goqd sized ears of corn, The corn is of a variety known as the Texas June. Last year Mr. Watt raised sever- al stalks of it in his garden at the corner of Race and Sharp streets that measured over twenty feet in length. He has a brother in Texas who has many acres of this corn and it averages about this size, —_——_~+<+2>-—__—_— Candidates to Return.

He appeared when last seen to be in good spirits and in his usual health. Mrs. Lageux was work- ing in the mill and had not reach- ed home when he sent the children out. Mr. Lageux prepared the supper and sat the table. He then went into his bedroom and taking u small cord placed it about his neck and tying one end to the bed post sat down on the floor. By throwing his weight on the cord he was strangled to death. Mrs. Laguex found him dead when she came home. Coroner Reny deemed it a plain ease of suicide and held no inquest. Mr. Lageux was a member of St. Mary’s church and had atended the 40 hour’s church devotion at the church on Sunday and Mon- day. +--+ BEQUEST TO CHURCH. Hon. 8S. L. Patterson’s Will Gives a Handsome Property to the Episcopalians for Use as a Boys’ School. The will of the Hon. S. L. Pater- son, who died recently, has been offered for probate. It gives the fine estate in the Happy Valley of the Yadkin, known as Palmyra to the Episco- pal Church for the establishment of an agricultural and industrial school for white boys. The Lenoir News says: “This splendid property, con- sisting of nearly 1,000 acres of land, most of it fine river bottom, and the stately old Patterson home, maker an ideal location for such an institution and the hand- some bequest shows the broad mind and liberal heart of the la- mentable donor. The property is easily worth $25,000 and is destined to be one of the best properties owned by the Church in the state.’’ Mr. Patterson was well known in this city where he had many friends and a few relatives. One of the latter stated this morning that acocrding to the terms of the will the widow has the absolute use and control of the property during her life, and then it goes to the Church. ——_2<- Republican Speaking.

OFF FAR SOUTH SEA ISLAND. Springfield Browers Hear Tale of Buried Riches—Mate of Wreck- ed Vessel Exhibited Samples and G. H. Wing Starts. Springfield, Mass., October 10. —George H. Wing of Berkeley street, secretary of the republican city committee is on his way to Vancouver, B. C., whence he will sail to hunt for a treasure trove on an island 700 miles from the Aus- tralian coast. Mr. Wing is the representative of a syndicate of local men who are after treasure of fabulous price said to be buried on the is- land. Mr. Wing said before leav- ing that he would hire a schooner and sail for the place. Mr. Wing was employed by Bel- lows Bros., brokers, and the mem- bers of the firm stated today that he had gone in good faith. The story that led him to start is that a ship laden with jewels, Austrian coins of great value and bars of gold was wrecked on the barren island. The crew landed safely on the island and after the storm sub- sided they went to the wreck and brought the treasure ashore The erew died one by one until none were left except the first mate and one seaman. The mate was res- cued alone. The survivor recently visited this city and interested Mr. Wing in the story. This seaman tovk a few of the coins and some of the jewels. It has now been more than 20 years since he left the is- land but up to the present he has been unable to get anyone who would assist him to return after the treasure. At first he atempt- ed to get money enough to go alone, but failing in this he de- cided to organize a stock com- pany. During the time since the wreck official searching parties have been sent out by the British authorities in Australia to look for the treasure, and one woman who heard of it equipped an ex- pedition that spent a long time diging on another island. ——~++@>--—_—_—_ Harmony Hill Campmeeting.

Mr. Bryan’s speech at Oskaloosa, Iowa: Mr. Taft says: ‘‘Mr. Bryan says that we may not expect anything from the republican party because it is governed by the protected in- terests, and that they contribute to the campaign fund. If they do, campaign fund is not flattering and that no campaign has been earried on more economically than this eampaign.”’ You will notice that Mr. Taft does not deny that they accept contributions from the protected interests and he does not deny my indictment. He simply says that if the protected interests do gov- ern, that the fund is not flattering this year. But what does Mr. Taft call a flattering fund. He and the public might differ as to how much it will take to make a flattering fund. He is not willing that the public shall know how much of a fund his party has, or from whom it is received. Why doesn’t he tell you? Is he afraid that you will not vote the repub- lican ticket if you know where the campaign fund comes from? if so, he means that you will be sorry you voted the republican ticket when you find out how much of a fund they have and where it comes from. Is this po- litical honesty? What do the rank and file of the republican party think of the republican leaders who conceal the amount and sourees of their cam- paign fund, and refuse to allow ““TIt seems just a little bit out of place for Mrs. Mabene Gilman Co- rey to criticise that St. Gaudens bronze Logan horse for being a high-stepper.’’ eee es their campaign methods to be known ? _——-2-+@>-e—_—_—___ The customs service of China estimates the total population of that country at 438,214,000. am ae eb ie iH & a é Rs 8 a 7 The following is an extract from | & I am glad to advise you that the |: The Chicago Tribue (rep) of Monday, September 28, printed an interview with James S. Sher- man, republican candidate for vice president. In that interview Mr. Sherman said: “‘T was not aware that Uncle Joe was an issue. I am not aware that there is any opposition to Uncle Joe either in his own dis- trict or elsewhere. I cannot con- ceive of any constituency so blind, ignorant or dense as not to appreciate the services of that great statesman. He is the most useful member of the legislative branch of the government.”’ This shows very clearly that Uncle Joe is the one great: idol under Roosevelt of the G. O. P. The only way to defeat Mr. Can- non is to elect a democratie house, and each voter has it in his pow- er to assist in this. ~~ —— 0 a From York Institute.

Ab jng cases and drawers and si for some days now has been the popular greeting current in the streets. Invariably the reply is a nod of the head or a wink of teh eye, with the usual promise-of ‘‘ go ing for the children’s sake.’’ The Ringling Brothers—always the fa- vorites will be greeted next Tues- day with a welcome even more en- thusiastic than ever, for town and county seems to be cireus hungry. The lovers of the circus form of amusement have been whetting their appetites by feasting on the thousands of lithographs with which the town is speckled. They strike him with unusual force this year because of the variety, the novelty and the European flavor that they suggest. The automo- bile double somersault is particu- larly appealing. Nothing like it has ever been done before. Auto- mobiles have leaped in air and turned over once, but in this act two distinct somersaults are made —and the act is done by a mere girl. The new parade is another fea- ture that is being anticipated with pleasure. It is more than up to the Ringling standard, which means that it is the finest in the world. Then the performance opens with another brilliant spec- tacle, and every act that follows in the three rings on the two stages, the track or the vast network of swings and bars in the dome is a European novelty. Men hop on their heads, horses smoke pipes and make their own beds, a pig skips the rope and shoots the chutes, an elephant beats a drum with its tail, the Mirza Golems present the act that was orginally done for the Shah of Persia—and then comes the hair-rising, spine- tingling automobile act. Wtih more than a hundred big acts to hold one, there is not an old fea- ture in the show. All is novelty. There will be two performances here, one at 2 o’clock in the after- noon and the other at 8 in the evening, the doors opening an hour earlier for an inspection of the menagerie and the enjoyment of an operatie concert by Ringling Brothers military band under the leadership of Albert C. Sweet. On show day a branch office will be opened at the store of the Statesville Drug Co., where reserv- ed seats and admissions will be sold at the same price charged on the grounds. Thus the busy mer- chant may buy his seats in ad- vance without the annoyance of erowding to the ticket wagons. ————_++2>o__—- Ice Skating Rink. The all-the-year-round ice skat- ing rink is coming. Two of them are now in operation in Germany, and each has accommodation for one thousand skaters at a time, with no crowding. Of course the ice rink has an ice factory attach- ment. The ice floor is as smooth and firm in summer as the frozen pond in winter.—Charlotte Even- ing Chronicle. ——_++@>o Why Men Don’t Marry. When a married man wants a mess of turkey it costs him at least two dollars and a half, considering the price of the bird, the cost of oysters to stuff it, and the eran- berry sauce. Besides, he has to carve it. But an unmarried man ean go to a restaurant and get all the turkey he wants for fifteen cents. _——~~+oe>r-e—__—.

This information was received here early today and at once local republicans got busy in an effort to perfect arrangements for a stop over of the candidate in this city and a speech. Mr. James E. Tharpe, acting for the republican county committee wrote to both National Committe- man E. C. Duncan and State Chairman S. B. Adams requesting that as long a stop as posible be made in this city. Mr. Tharpe’s letter was firm but polite and he is said to have informed the gen- tlemen that the republicans of this section would not take ‘‘no’’ for an answer. Mr. Taft will make one or two speeches in Tennessee’ on the six- teenth and will then turn towards North Carolina. Salisbury and Greensboro are probaly the only two places in the state where Mr. Taft will make anything like a set speech. It is thought the special train bearing the distinguished party will reach Salisbury at about 10 o’clock and will get to Greensboro in the ear- ly part of the afternoon. It should pass through States- ville, according to the present plans at about 9 a. m., and the members of the party are much elated at the prospect of having Mr. Taft for a guest, even if only for a short time. —_++@>-o—___—_ With the Sick.

Many Cases in the Court EVIL DOERS GET JUSTICE. Crap Shooter is Caught and Held For Court as is Negro for As- sault With Deadly Weapon—It Costs $10 to Curse at Depot— Other Police News of Two Days. Ifenry Bernard, colored, was be- fore Mayor Grier this morning charged with gambling. The specific charge against the prisoner was shooting crap. The offence was committed on September 31 and at that time Bud Moore was eaptured tried and held for the superior court. Bernard eseaped and has kept out of sight of the officers since that time. This morning he waived exami- nation and was held for the Nov- ember term of the eounty court. For Using Profane Language. Jim Henderson colored, was in the Mayor’s court this morning and the charge was using profane laneuage and other bad conduct. The offenee was committed at the depot at sbout noon yesterday. Mr. D. M. Ausley was the prin- cipal witness against the prisoner Mr. Ausley told His Honor that the man appeared to be under the influenee of liquor at the time and that he seemed to be looking for trouble. Passengers were leaving and taking the train and after sev- eral of the men employed about the depot had asked the fellow to stop his profanity, he approached the negro and informed him that unless he desisted, he vorld have him arrested. This had no effect on him and when Mr. Ausley left the station he was till ‘‘eusing’’ and in an ugly mood. The defendant admitted that he had been drinking and_ that he used more or less violent language but blamed it all on one, Fayette The latter he said tried to get some liquor from him and he had refused to let him have it. As it was somewhat.of 1M agera- vated ease and as the negro had persisted in his exeeedingly bad behaviour after having been warned several times, the mayor imposed a fine of $10 and costs. With Deadly Weapols. Jim Gillespie and Joe Chambers were before Squire W. W. Turner late Saturday afternon charged with an assault with deadly weap- ons. to wit: a knife and a club. The men, both of whom are colored, had engaged in a row over in the Belmont neighborhood. and aeoerding to the testimony, which was very contradictory, the men went ‘‘at it hammer and tones.”’ exeept that a knife and a big stick were the actual weapons. Gillespie, however, seemed to be the aggressor and the magis- trate held him for the superior court in the sum of $50. Cham- bers was discharged. —_~++ > —_ Candidates Off for Cool Spritgs.

Fifty Children Under the Direc- tion of Misses Angie Mullaly aNd Martha Moore Will Give an Entertainment for Benefit of The Billingsley Hospital. An ‘‘opera’”’ in three acts will be given the latter part of the month under the direction of Misses Angie Mullaly and Martha Moore. The entertainment is for th® benefit of Billingsley hospital and there are fifty children in the east. The plot of the opera is as fol- lows: : Six children start out from school on an expedition into the woods. They quarrel and wander singly into the ‘‘Enchanted Wood.’’ Here by order of the ‘‘Fairy Queen”’ they are lured on till they sink down exhausted, and are thrown into a deep sleep. **Mother Goose’’ who is a guest at court asks permission of the Queen to transform them into characters of her rhymes, and they are roused to find themselves Jack Horner, Bo Peep, Miss Muffit, Simple Simon, Little Boy Blue, and Miss Mary Quite Contrary. A rescuing party of boy poliee sent by their distracted teacher comes to their assistance. But the police, fare little better, for they are lured on by fairy voice) into the very presence of tha Queen, when she transfixes them by her potent wand. At length however they are released and go back to their teacher, resolved to correct their faults and resume their daily tasks in peace. Specialties will be introduced between acts by the talented young ladies and gentlemen of the city. This is for a worthy cause and should be generally patronized. ++ —____ A RALLY AND BARBECUE. ‘ United States Senator F. M.

The Mitchell woman said that she and the McBryde girl had a quarrel while the two were alone and that Miss McBryde called her » a liar. ‘‘I threw a stick of stove wood at her,’’ said the Mitchell woman ‘‘and then IJ lost my senses.

Many Cases in the Court EVIL DOERS GET JUSTICE. Crap Shooter is Caught and Held For Court as is Negro for As- sault With Deadly Weapon—It Costs $10 to Curse at Depot— Other Police News of Two Days. Ifenry Bernard, colored, was be- fore Mayor Grier this morning charged with gambling. The specific charge against the prisoner was shooting erap. The offence was committed on September 31 and at that time Bud Moore was eaptured tried and held for the superior court. Bernard eseaped and has kept out of sight of the officers since that time. This morning he waived exami- nation and was held for the Nov- ember term of the county court. For Using Profane Language. Jim Henderson eolored, was in the Mayor’s court this morning and the charge was using profane language and other bad conduct. The offence was committed at the depot at sbout noon yesterday. Mr. D. M. Ausley was the prin- cipal witness against the prisoner Mr. Ausley told His Honor that the man appeared to be under the influenee of liquor at the time and that he seemed to be looking for trouble. Passengers were leaving and taking the train and after sev- eral of the men employed about the depot had asked the fellow to stop his profanity, he approached the negro and informed him that unless he desisted, he -vorld have him arrested. This had no effect on him and when Mr. Ausley left the station he was till ‘‘eusing’’ and in an ugly mood. The defendant admitted that he had been drinking and that he used more or less violent language but blamed it all on one, Fayette Byers. The latter he said tried to get some liquor from him and he had refused to let him have it. As it was somewhat.of 1 agegra- vated ease and as the negro had persisted in his exceedingly bad behaviour after having been warned several times, the mayor imposed a fine of $10 and costs.

From Washington comes the word that the president is discon- late. He finds the republican party making no progress and if not in actual retreat, badly put upon the defensive by the resentment of labor at the records of prominent republicans of the party. He maybe able to hold a por- tion of those who feel offended, but it is beyond even the power of President Roosevelt to replace in the republican lines all of the massed labor vote, that was there in 1900 and 1904. He also finds the colored mem- bers of his party exceedingly sul- len and unresponsive to the eall of his party. He has a tremend- ous task before him, if his man, Friday, is even to make a respeet- able showing. —_-—4++@> ee —__—_. REPUBLICANS ARE SCARED. It is becoming more and more evident as the days pass that the democratic party has the republi- eans most thoroughly frightened. They are now ‘‘on the run’’ in all that the slang expression can be termed to mean. There are evidences from all sides that the managers see defeat coming upon them and they do not as yet see any way to avert it. Many of the most ardent repub- lican papers make no effort to eonceal these facts. Several have asserted that unless some of the apathetic members of the party bestir themselves ‘‘the fight is lost.”’ As an index to the way the sit- uation is regarded we quote from the Washington Post, one of the leading papers of the country. The Post claims to be independent in polities, but is vigorously sup- porting Mr. Taft this year. In an editorial entitled ‘‘The Danger Flag Flying’’ that paper last Friday said: “The republican party is with- out doubt losing from two sources and losing from those two in every section of the country from Maine to California. It may also be losing in the agricultural vote, but if so it is not so marked in all sections of the United States as the heavy defections in the labor vote and the lighter but persistent losses in the votes of the colored population. *‘The republican correspondents who have recently made the tours of the warmly contested states are unanimous in their reports of heavy and serious labor losses in all of the states they have visited The ealing of Warren S. Stone, chief of the Brotherhood of Loco- motive Engineers; Patrick H. Morisey, chief of Locomotive Trainmen, and Daniel I. O’Keefe, the head of the Longshoremen- men’s Union, to the white house for conference with President Roosevelt is a publie recognition of the seriousness of the situation for the republican party. “The danger flag is flying as a ee t warning for republicans all along the line when there arises an oc- easion that neither Hitchcock, his lieutenants, the candidates or their friends can control, but requires the personal attention, the direct eare of that master of politics, that commander of statesmen, that ruler of the princes of finance and captains of industry, the drill- |, master of the republican party, Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States. His quick eye and ready ear have detected the false steps and the discordant tread of the republican columns. He has noted the lagging and the sagging lines but it is too late to rectify the faults of convention, of congress, and of candidates.’’ —____2- +> ___- Appointments for Saturday Night.

Director Hudson of Farm Demon- stration Work Will Furnish County Schools With Shrubs, Tree, Flower and Cotton Seed. Mr. C. R. Hudson, announces that he has made arrangements with the Department of Agricul- ture at Washington to furnish the rural school teachers and pupils with a limited amount of flower seeds tree seeds shrubs eie., the same to be used in beautifying the school grounds. According to the present ar- rangements Mr. Hudson will have seed enough for about ten schools. These seeds and shrubs are to be distributed by the Woman’s Asso- siation for the betterment of pub- lie school houses. Teachers who feel that they can do something along this line of work may take the matter up with Supt. L. O. White, of the county schools. Miss Laura Lazenby of this city is president of the Betterment As- sociation in this county. Mr. Hudson will also be pleased to furnish the pupils with improv- ed strains of corn and cotton seed to be experimented with during vacation. The children will be asked to plant these in plots and keep a complete record of their work and the results they obtain. ———_—__¢+@ > As to the Price of Cotton. Editor The Mascot: It has been intimated by Cap- tain Gregory in h’s review of the cotton market that no farmers’ or- ganization can ever price the cot- ton crop of the south. New this assumption eatries with it, the idea that the farmer has no right to place a price on any of his products, but that the man who manufacturers this raw material shall say what it is worth. I wish to say just here that I am not a member of any farmers’ organization, but that I am _hear- tily in sympathy with such orders, and know that some of our best citizens are leading members of sueh orders; therefore I know they are in no way connected with the night riders and are not in sympathy with them in their law- less acts. But to cotton. Who should say what it is worth? The farmer is the only man competent to give a correct answer, and ‘‘the man be- hind the spindle’? had as well make up his mind to let the man who rides the eultivator price his production, for the farmer is no longer a slave to northern money. He has, to a great extent, freed himself from the money powers, and is learning that his calling it second to none; and with this un- derstanding of his business comes a calmn sense of independence. He does not fear the howl of Wall street, because he is the only: man who ean eat his own produce, and the other fellow must have only what the farmer can spare. True, he has to let the buyer price his stuff, and always to his loss; he has had’ his schooling and has been a slow but sure scholar. He is amply able now to take care of himself, and ask for his just rights. He does not ask the mill men nor the consumer for any favor, but says, ‘‘You price your production, I intend to price mine, or you do without mine and I will easily manage without yours.’’ What think you of this question Mr. Farmer? Let us hear from you. I. N. PAINE. R. F. D. No. 3. ———- 4-0 eee COTTON MARKET. Strict good middling......... 8% Good addline. ..2:. 2... 8% A aes Stains and Tinges...... .. 6@714 Th emarket was weak.

Mrs, Mills Resigned and is Highly Complimented by Archdeacon Osborne—Dr. Carlton Mott is Her Successor. Archdeacon E. A. Osborne of Charlotte held two services at Trinity church (Episcopalian) on Walnut street yesterday. After the vesper service, which was held at 4 o’clock, there was a meeting of the congregation. The Archdeacon told the mem- bers of the financial condition of the church which was very fiat- tering and then announced that Mrs. T. M. Mills had tendered her resignation as treasurer of the parish. She had done this, Mr. Osborne stated, reluctantly but the action was imperative as she is about to leave the city. He spoke of the faithful manner in which this most estimable lady and efficient church official had performed her duties and said he felt t hat every member of the eongregation shared with him the genuine regret he felt at the fact that Mrs. Mills was to leave Statesville and that she was forced to sever even her business rela- tions with the church. The meeting then proceeded to elect a successor to Mrs. Mills. Judge A. L.’ Coble nominated Dr. Carlton Mott and he was unanimously elected. The meeting then adjourned. 4 + Some Happenings Among Those .Paople You Know and Others You Don’t Know. Mr. Geo. W. Hawn is in Greens- boro on business today.

With worship of the fetish kind the Republicans large and small fat frying and fat fried fall down in adoration and make obesiance before the Elephant as the symbol of the Republican party and the letters G. O. P. as the trade-mark. Boastfully and with much self- approval the Republicans declare to all comers that the Elephant typifies the great strength of the party and then growing wildly en- thusiastic they shout with an ex- cess strenuosity like unto the noise that Theodore himself makes. “‘G. O. P. means the Grand Old Rarty.”* But this tempest of wind does not convince the public at all and men look beneath the surface and seratch out things for themselves. One of them did it the other day and he has discovered the true and hidden meaning of G. O. P. All along this has been something of a large secret in Republican ranks, but here is an expose that tells the truth. Grand Old Party is to fool the public outside. Inside of the ranks the Radicals who know what G. O. P. really means nudge each other in the ribs, chuckle softly, and snuggle closer to the trough. andtod -nKshrdltautautauautau What the seeker after knowl- edge about G. O. P. found out is told in the fololwing ecard from Morehead City, and which says: American voter: I notice here an appeal to every true citizen to vote for the G.O. P. What does that mean? Republican Office-Seeker Sure of the Good Old Pie. (N. B. this is not copy-righted. ) Here you have it. G.O. P. means good old pie. Pie is the great desire of the North Carolina Radicals. It is the great cement- ing foree that holds together the Republican party. Cut out pie, whether it is Standard Oil pie, Steel trust pie, or the Federal job pie, and the Republican party goes smash to pieces. Good old pie is correct, and henceforth Pie is the | symbol of republicanism just as im the past it has been the full mea- sure of its existence. Tt 1s the party of pie and not of principle. and al lthe hurrah and clamor of the campaign is not that it may be of serviee, but that it may hold what pie it has and grab more.— Exehange. —_——__~-<~+ ar Democratic Speakings.

Husband and Wite Indicted QUICK WORK IN VIRGINIA. Tucker and Minnie Posey Charg- ed With Complicity in the Murder of Edward Fair, Broth- er of the Woman. Manasas, Va., Oct. 12.—The grand jury today indicted Tucker Posey and his wife, Minnie Posey, for complicity in the murder of Edward Fair, on Thursday night last near Canovia, this county. Bail was fixed at $500 each for apppearance at the December term of court. The tragedy occurred Thursday last and on Saturday ‘the coro- ner’s jury rendered a verdict de- claring that Allen Fair, who was shot in the left side just above the heart, was killed by Edward Fair; that Edward Fair was kill- ed by Tucker Posey with an ake; that Edward Fair was hit ovsr the head with a musket by Mrs. Minnie Posey a sister of the dead Fair brothers and that Tucker Posey is supposed to have been shot by Edward Fair, inflicting a flesh wound. The tragedy, which grew out out of Edward Fair’s jealousy of his wife, who is said to have once left him, has aroused unusual interest in this section. The Fair brothers were sons of the late Caster Fair arjl lived about fow, miles from Manasas. — Lest His Ducks. Master Frank Grier, the bright young son of the mayor, is dis consolate.

Both Her Son and Grandson Were Assassinated and Now The Queen Sees Blood Every- where—All Efforts to Rouse the Poor Woman in Vain. Genoa, Italy, Oct. 12—Queen Maria Pia, the mother of the late King of Portugal, is nearing her end, a victim of the assasin of her son and grandson as surely as though she herself had been stricken down. . Magahaes Lima, editor-in-chief of the Portugueses Republican journal, tells in an interview pub- lished in the Corriere, of Genoa, the pitiful condition of the aged woman, whose brain was a direct- ing power in the state through her son’s reign, as_ her _ personality was ever a_ softening influence with her people. Since the mo- ment when Maria Pia flung her- self upon the bleeding forms of her slain son and his child, her mind, like that of Lady Macbeth, has become distraught with the dreadful vision. At first she eried that there was blood upon her hands blood upon her gar- ments and unceasingly strove to wash it out. When that delusion passed she settled into the melan- choly conviction that she was constantly in the presence of her murdered loved ones. All efforts to rouse the poor wo- man have proved vain and her heath has gradually become un- dermined till it is evident she eannot long support her suffer- ing. Maria Pia by her popularity counteracted the sentiment of dislike which the unpopularity of her daughter-in-law brought upon the royal King Emanuel IL., she imbibed liberal ideas from her father and, though a good Cath- olic was anti-clerical. Her disa- bility is a serious loss to the young King Manuel in these critical times her tact and discretion be- ing the needed balance to the un- of his Bourbon mother, who seems who seems to have learned noth- ing from the awful tragedy that overturned the old Queen’s mind. —— + 4 Daughters of the Confederacy.

THE EVENING Statesville, N. C., Tuesday Evening, October 13, 1908. CONGRESSMAN R. ADDRESSES N. HACKETT BIG CROWD HERE HE RIDDLES ARGUMENTS OF MR. COWLES. Seats in Court House All Filled and Many Stood While the Representa- tive Talked Eloquently and Impres-: sively for Two Hours.—-State and National Issues Were Discussed and the Records of Public Men Dissected. Congressman R. N. Hackett, democratic nominee to succeed himself in the 8th district spoke here last night in the court house | to a rousing crowd of. stirring democrats and a goodly number of republicans. - A number of ladies were pres- ent. When Mr. Hackett entered the hall, accompanied by Chairman J. A. Hartness he was given an ovation. The speaker was presented by Hon, Z. V. Long who paid a high and eloquent tribute to his ability as a statesman and when he pre- dicted his election there was pro- longd applause. Mr. Hackett commenced his ad- dress by telling his hearers that he was suffering from a severe cold and felt more like retiring to his chamber for the night than deliv- ering a speech. He was quite hoarse as he commenced but this affliction gradually grew less no- ticeable and soon disappeared al- together. Thanks for Past Favors. Mr. Hackett told of his great. gratitude for the handsome treat- ment he received at the hands of old Iredell two years ago. He said he came to Statesville to, in a measure give an account of the stewardship of the high office to which the people had elected him. The man elevated to a position, he said, does not become greater elevated than those who elevated him. In other words the created can not be greater than the crea- tor. I, as your representative in congress, am simply your servant. All sovereignty) rests with the peo- ple. I went to congress not with a desire to fill up the pages of the record with speeches. My op- ponent says I only made a single speech. That is true. That speech was in favor of the pas- sage of a bill that directly inter- ested a thousand of my constit- uents. It was a bill permitting railroads to issue passes to their employees and the members of their families. Theb_ ill passed and I do not know whether my speech had any influence towards its passage but I do know that I did my duty. Motley for Public Building. He told how he succeeded in passing in the house a bill appro- priating $60,000 for a public building in Concord followed by one for $40,000 for Salisbury. One hundred thousand dollars for public buildings in his dis- trict and this in a single term and his first term, when in the face of the facts a new congressman isn’t expected to have much influ- ence. These bills successfully passed the senate through the influence of Senator Overman with an ad- ditional $25,000 for the Salisbury appropriation. In referring to the candidacy of his opponent in the district he stated he wished Mr. Cowles was here in order to meet him face to face- where he could meet the is- face, where he could meet the is- such a proposition had heen re- fused by Mr. Cowles and his man- ager, Mr. Reynolds. He explained that Chairman Kluttz had sought a join. cebate, but only three in republican strongholds could be pulled off. Stated that a proposition t\ meet him in Statesville and Salisbury had been refused on the grounds that they were Democratic strongholds and that the Republi- can nominee would be laughed at. Injustice aNd Indignity. Congressman Hackett told of the gross injustice done him at Wilkesboro, where he was given an hour and Mr. Cowles an hour, with the understanding that each were to have a rejoinder of 15 minutes, but when the Republican nominee had finished his speech, Mr. Milliken, United States mar- shall refused to allow him to proceed further on the plea that it would interfere with the feder- al court, which was then in ses- sion. It was outrageous conduct and is denounced by Mr. Hackett in the strongest possible terms. He had been a member of the pension committee and had suc- ceeded in getting six pension bills passed, six more than had been gotten through by his predeces- sor. He had secured about 20 new rural free delivery routes and at present as a result of his work over $22,000 more money was coming into the district an- nually than formerly, this in the shape of pensions and post roads. Despite Mr. Cowles exaggerat- ed statements he had missed but eight roll calls in six months while as a member of the legislature in 1907 Mr. Cowles had in 60 days missed 390 and during 9 days of the recent short session of the legislature he had missed 78. According to this rate he would during a six months in congress miss about 2,400. Discusses National Issues. Mr. Hackett then proceeded upon a discussion -of the national issues, taking up the record of his opponent and dissecting his argu- ment as he proceeded. He was particularly happy in his refer- ence to Mr. Cowles’ contention that railroad rate legislation by the General assembly of 1907 was responsible for the unsettled conditions that have prevailed for the past eighteen months. If it be true, he said, that these con- ditions were created by the gen- eral assembly Mr. Cowles should be willing to asume resposibility, since he voted for 214 cent in 1907 because, as he said, it was right, voting later for a 214 cent rate, which he declares brought on the panic, and refusing to vote for the repeal of the bill estab- lishing this rate and providing in i | its stead a 214 cent rate, which he had previously declared to be | just. To his opponent’s conten- tion that he would not support the bill passed at the extra session because it carried a bribe of $17,- 300 exacted from the railroad, Mr. Hacket declared that the law as it stands on the statute does not say one word in reference to the payment of any sum of money by the railroads and had with him a copy of the laws to prove his contention. Thi; we find him said the speaker on three sides of a question that only had two sides to it. This was one of the most effec- tive features of Mr. Hackett’s speech, since Mr. Cowles has been laying special stress upon railway rate legislation. “‘There is No Panic’’(?) Cowles tells us there is no pan- ic. G@ to your furniture factory and your cotton mills and ask them haw business has been dur- ing the past four or five months. In Wilkes county we had 100 saw mills running overtime but | suddenly they stopped altogethr- er and many poor men found themselves greatly embarrassed: with their valuable live stock, horses and mules, on their hands and nothing with which to feed it. Then came great finan- cial sacrifices in getting rid of it. Last year cotton sold for 13 cents, last week it brought 834 cents and Mr. Cowles says the farmers haven’t felt the existence of any panic. Just ask them and you will find out mighty soon. Cotton reached its lowest level went to 41% cents and from 1997 to 1901 averaged 6° cents ner pound, . Every single panic this coun- try has ever experienced has fol- lowed a republican debasement of the currency or tariff enact- ment. Mr, Hackett ridiculed Mr. Cow- les’ contention that there is no panic by quoting the Washington Post saying that there are more than 3,100,000 men idle in the cuntry and by drawing a graphic word picture of hungry school children in New York, of 15,000 starving children in Chicago and of mothers starving that their children might eat. When the census reports tells us that 3,100,- 000 able bodied men in this coun- try are out of work, this means that 16,000,000 people are affect- ed, without means of support, without sustenance. Those Soup Houses. Yes, we had soup houses under Grover Cleveland and we’ve got them under Roosevelt but the trouble is, there isn’t enough soup to go round and the brand furnished by Good Old Grover in his days was twice as thick as that furnished by the republicans. Publicity. Mr. Hackett said, that he had endeavored since the campaign spened to induce Mr. Cowles to say how much he spent on Spen- cer Blackburn’s two campaigns and on his own campaign but so far had failed to receive an an- swer. Those of his last campaign had been printed and a list of the receipts and expenditures sent to each contributor. He was willing to make those of his pres- ent campaign public but when he asked Mr. Cowles to do so, he was modestly silent on the subject. Mr. Hackett dwelt at some length on state issues and then took up the currency and tariff questions, handling them in «aa able and interesting manner. His discussion p¥ the trusts w. illuminating. ‘Mr. Hackett said that the wealth ofthe United States was in the hands of about ten men and No. 335 f that these men had been controll- ing the elections before, but that the people had gotten enough of it and were going to vote for what they knew to be right. The Original Liar. Mr. Roosev*!t, he said, he would pass as all knew how many men he had ealled liars and how he had in each instance turaed out to be the origina! one. Mr. Hackett made a fine im: pression and was freauently and roundly applauded as he drove home with is charaecristie elo- quence and emphis’s truths in which ite voters ar: eoneerned. Me held ths closest at2 ction of his hearers urd it was evident that he made a deep impressior. Asa whole this speech of our congress- man was one of the best he has ever made here, a masterful and eloquent portrayal of facts, of the weakness of his opponent, an able argument of logic interwov- en with lucid anecdotes told in Mr. Hackett’s own. inimitable way. One scholarly looking old gen- tleman as he left the court room was heard by The Mascot man to remark “‘That was the effort of an orator and a statesman and I am prouder of our congressman than ever before. I certainly think we should keep such a man in congress.”’ Hackett at Scotts. Congressman R. N. Hackett went to Scotts yesterday where he spoke in the Scott school house to a large crowd. Mr. Hackett was, received! with great enthusiasm, and spoke . for an hour and one half. Mr. Hackett dwelt extensively on his record in congress, compar- ing it with Cowles’s record in the legislature. He also touched on the panic and tariff question. In speaking of the ‘‘blank page that Mr. Cowles is cireu- lating over the district as his record in congress, Mr. Hackett said it was white and spotless, while the page of Cowles was too black for ink ta print. ++» _—_ Democratic Club at Eagle Mills. There was ansenthusiastic dem- ératic speaking at Joiner’s school house, Eagle Mills township Sat- urday. : Addresses were made by Prof. J. Van Hoy and Mr. Smith Camp- bell.

CIRCUS IS HERE. ——— Parade Was a Grand Affair, a Little Late in Starting But was ‘The Best Ever’’—Crowd is an Orderly One. The eallioe tooted ‘‘Every- body Works but Father,’’ cathe- dral chimes rang out ‘‘Annie Laurie’? a church organ rolled solemn melody and a mounted band added march music to the strange medley. There were five other bands one a clown organi- zation which murdered Opus 798 of John Philip Sousa to the de- light of the spectators. | The thousands of people who lined the curb stones lifted up their voices in praise of the Ring- ling Brothers and their circus. Everybody says it was the finest circus parade he ever _ saw. Everybod’s sisters and cousins and aunts say the same. The parade was led by a golden bandwagon drawn by _ twenty- white ‘horses. Later on there there was a ‘“‘hitch’’ of twenty- four tiny ponies. There were any aumber of ten and twelve-horse teams and many beautiful animals driven tandem. It was a display of horse flesh that devotees of the track and stable might well rave over. Barbarian orchestras a yankee- doodle fife and drum corps ip George Washington hats a tear- of twenty camels hitched to a penderous and ornate tableau a tandem of zebras, a long chain of elephants holding each other’s tails, a fair snake enchantress in aden of enormous snakes and twenty or so open eages of wild beasts were other features of the parade that attracted attention. Everything looked bright and new. The Ringling Brothers are not sparing of paint and gold- leaf and there is a freshness and brilliancy about their street spec- tacle that charms. The program is now being giv- en and it is the best ever present- ed by the Ringling Brothers. The tent was packed. The menagerie is more than usually attractive. the music is high class, the equip- ment is all new, the costuming is brilliant and tasty, and the few hours beneath those great white tents are delightfully spent. Tonight’s performance begins at 8 o’clock 1 His Wife’s Mean Trick. **Tt’s strange, strange, strange, that i can’t find a thing or keep a thing in this house’’’ said Mr. Podmore the other day. ‘‘It’s all beeause of your loose slack way of keeping house Mrs. Podmore!”’ ““What is it now dear?”’ “‘Don’t dear me but help me to find my hat. I hung it on the hall rack when I eame in!’’ ‘“Why Henry——”’ “Don’t stand there staring at me in that idiotic way, but help me to find that hat. I supose I must wear my straw hat, and it’s raining like fury!’’ “‘Henry Podmore, will you lis- ten——.”’ *“No I'll not. When a man lays down his hat and can’t find it—”’ ““Henry that hat is on your head!” ‘“What! who put it there? That is seme trick, I’d take my oath be- fore any court in the land!’ “*Nonsense !”? : “‘Tt’s no nonsense! It’s as true as that I live and stand before you a tormented, worried, harrassed man, who is ridiculed and made the victim of some mean, low trick *n his own house every day!

Commissioner Young Says That the Insurance Department Would be of More Service if People Would Let Unlicensed Companies Alone. The statement just issued by Insurance Commissioner Young show that there are 285 companies and associations licensed to do business in the state, as follows: Reserve Life Companies, 40; As- sessment Life Companies, 20; Fire Companies, 133; Accident and Surety Companies ’4; Fraterna! Orders, 57; Live Stock Compa- nies, 1, Under the law a list of all licen- sed companies is *orwarded to the superior court clerk of each coun- ty in the state and that official is required to keep the list posted in his office. In this way it is convenient for any citizen of the state to find out what company or association is licensed to do busi- uéss in this state, or any one can gct a list by writing {o the Insur- ance Commissioner. It would seem, said Commisioner Young, that with the number of licensed companies there would be no occa- sion for any citizen of the state to entrust his insurance of any kind with non-licensed companies. Un- der the law. all contracts made with unlicensed companies are null and void and citizens using them cannot get service upon them or enforce his claims if one arises. Commissioner Young said he would be materially aided in his work and the department would be of much more service to the people, if they would let unli- censed companies ““severely alone,’’ and report to him all un- licetised companies seeking to do business in this state. While at times it may seem to a citizen of the state that the offers made by unlicensed companies would pay him to place insurance with them, yet, in the end, said the Commis- sioner the use of them will prove a delusion anda ssnare and the citizen will find that any company that will evade the laws as well as the payment of taxes imposed upon them by the state for doing business therein, will if occasion arises, not hesitate to rob or de- fraud -the citizens patronizing them. —~++2a>—___—_ Bishop Cheshire Here.

Light Fingered Gentry Were Fol- lowing Circus—Were Caught “In the Act’’ and There is no Doubt as to Their Guilt—Held in $1,000 Each for Next Court. The fine and detective work, skill shrewdness displayed by some of the deputy sheriffs of Ire- dell county at the cireus grounds yesterday was of a high order and places those gentlemen high in the esteem of the officials of the surrounding counties. They caught two pickpockets with a bad record, regular old timers, and landed them ‘‘with the goods.’’ That is, one-of the men was was “‘nabbed’’ just as he was seen to draw a pocket book from a man’s pocket and while he still held it in his grasp and the other, after he had been seen to place his hands in the pockets of several persons, only to find them empty. Both are colored and of course both gave fictitious names and places of residence. Early yesterday morning an official connected with the circus ealled on Sheriff W. A. Summers and told him that a gang of pick- pockets were folowing the show and that he wished the officials could eapture them. He said that Ringling Brothers did not approve of sueh things and would give the sheriff every assistanee possible. Mr. Summers at once put several of his deputies on the case with the above result. Deputy Sheriff J. A. Brown was the first to ‘‘nab’’ his man. He saw a negro that was acting in a suspicious manner and decided to follow and watch him. It was not long before he saw the individual push against a man and run his hand into his hip poeket. He withdrew the member quickly and the look of dismay and dis- gust on the fellow’s faee showed plainly what he thought of a per- son who went about with empty pockets. _ This operation was repeated on several other people and then Mr. Brown arrested him and brought him to the county jail where he was locked up. Before Judge Sloan this morn- ing he plead not guilty but on the above evidence was held for the superior court. Bond was placed at $1,000. He told the court that he eame here from Salisbury but that his home was in Charlotte. He was asked a number of ques- tions about these two places and his replys plainly indicated that he was not telling the truth. He asked for a lawyer and one was sent for but he failed to make satisfactory arrangements with that genetleman, or something. At any rate he refused to have anything to do with the ease. He told the judge that he would like to have a negress named Mary Jane, for a witness; said she was with him when ar- rested. He didn’t know Mary Jane’s other name, nor where she lived and so the trial had to proceed without her testi mony. Bad Man Number 2. J. F. Bailey and C. L. Gilbert were also on the grounds and each had his weather eye on the lookout for the wicked black men of whom they had been told. They were in front of one of the side shows when they saw-a ' small sized negro put his hand ‘into the pocket of Mr. A. L. Shoe- maker of Monbo. They were in the midst of a big crowd and the attention of the men was attracted by the working of the fellow’s elbow as he wormed his hand slowly into the man’s pocket. When he withdrew it, the ‘‘fist”’ held Mr.- Shoemaker’s pocket- book in its grasp. In an instant Deputy Bailey had his hand on the man’s shoulder and informed him that he was un- der arrest. He dropped the pocketbook, tried to do so un- noticed, and pretended to be greatly surprised and insulted. ~ He was brought. to the city at once and inearcerated in the county jail. Before Judge Sloan this morn- ing he waived examination and was also held for the superior court in the sum of $1,000. . He gave his name as N. C. Har. ris and claimed that he did not know, had n:ver secn the other prisoner whe claimed to be Geo. Smith. After their arrest yesterday the official photographer of the cireus came over to the jail and photographed both men for the rogue’s gallery which the Ring- ling Brothers maintain. The cireus men said that both men are old offenders and wanted in several cites. That they were arrested in Knoxville, Tenn., and held for the higher court on a charge of picking pockets; furn- ished cash bail and made them- themselves scarce. They had been arrested in other cities but were slick enough not to allow the of- ficials to obtain sufficient evi- dence on which they could be held. This morning after their trial, they said they would write some letters this afternoon and that in a few days the money would be here for their bail. ; Both were dressed in working men’s clothes. Harris wore a suit of nearly new overalls and Smith was attired in a dirty and badly worn suit. The latter pretended to be right dull and not to quite under- stand ‘‘what it was all about’’ but it was apparent that he was shamming. : —___+ +@>-2—______ With the Sick Miss Amelia, daughter of Mrs. J.

While in Cotton Field Alone Miss Pear Tucker, 16 Years Old, is ed Insensible and Then As- saulted. Concord, Oct. 13—A most re- volting crime was committed here this afternoon about 3:30 o’clock, when Miss Pearl Tucker, the 16- year-old daughter of Daniel E. Tucker, was ravished by a negro man. ‘ The young girl was picking cot- ton in a field within five hundred yards of her home in Fairview, in the corporate limits, when a negro man came upon her, tipped his hat and called her name telling her that Mr. James Dayvault had sent him to tell her to go to the other end of the field and get a ham- mer that had been left there by her father yesterday. The girl was afraid of the negro, but led the way indicated. When reaching the shrubbery at the low- er end of the field, in a well expos ed place,, he seized her by the throat and at the same time firing his pistol telling her that if she screamed he would kill her. He stated also that ‘‘It is not a ham- mer but you, is what I want.’’ The negro then picked her up in his arms, carrying her fifty yards to a point where the _ hideous erime was committed. The-negro then told her to remember his name, giving it as Henry Faggart, after which he ran into the jungles and got out of sight. Suspect is Arrested. Telephone messages notified the authorities and within ten minutes 500 men had formed a searching party and at 5 o’clock Will Gra- ham was captured at the home of his father changing shoes. his clothes being covered with beg- gar-lice. He was taken before Miss Tucker for identification. but the young girl’s excited con- dition had upset her nerves to such an extent that she was undecided as to his being the right man. Chief of Police Boger brought the negro to this city and spirited him away, going avross the coun- try by automobile to Salisbury. At 8 o’clock there were several thousand men on the street and they were still coming from every direction. Every man was armed and expecting a lynching. Sheriff Harris will allow the determined men to search the jail if an assault is made thereon. Much excite- ment revails, it being generally be- lieved that the negro, Will Graham ts the perpetrator of the foul deed. Chief Boger is accompanied by Mr. James W. Cannon,. Jr., whose automobile is in service. Miss Tucker is an attractive cirl. She was in the field alone. having gone to work only a few minutes before the occurrence, awaiting the arival of brother and sisters, who were coming to work from school. The girl lost © con- sciousness and fainted while on the way to her home but soon rallied. At 9 o’cloeck the crowds began to disperse and quiet was restor- ed. ——~~++o>-e—___—_ To Attend Dental College. Mr. Glenn A. Lazenby of Cool Spring township was in the city this morning.

Enticed From Her Work, Chok- | Deputy Sheriffs THERE WERE MANY ARRESTS ‘Some Were Drunk—Others En- gaged in Affrays and There Was a Cutting Scrape or Two. Cases in the Courts This Morn- ing—Others to Come. Last night Special Officer J. R. Davidson arrested Abe Dalton for beating his wife. Abe is col- ored and has been ‘‘up’’ before for the same offence. It seems that last night the wife, Jennie, wanted to go to the circus. Abe didn’t want her to go and the row ensued. Judge Sloan heard the evidence this. morning and suspended’ judgment on payment of the cost. Jennie told the court that her ‘“‘man beat her bad’’ but he de- nied it and there was no other evidence. The court told Abe however. that he must stop ‘‘fussing’’ with his wife or he would be. arrested on this wararnt and judgment passed, Drunk and Disorderly. Q. D. Freeze was arrested yes- terday for being drunk and dis- orderly. The arrest was made by Officer Morgan and the fine of $10 and costs was assessed by Mayor Grier. Freeze is a white man.

MR. CARNEGIE’S GIFT. In a speech in Missouri, Mr. Bryan referred to the contribution of $20,000 by Andrew Carnegie to the republican campaign fund, _jand to the support of the republi- can candidate by the the steel trust. He told the story of how the American steel and wire com- pany, of the steel trust, in order to drive a competitor of Joilet, Ill., out of business, had gone into the competitor’s territory and sold finished wire products cheaper than the plaix wire coil could be bor ght. This competitor appealed to the department of justice, and was told in a ietter by the acting attorney general that the steel trust’s conduct in the particular case was not restrainable under the federal law. Mr. Bryan in considering this matter asked the questionsu: ““Why shouldn’t the steel trust support the republican party ?’’ ‘And why shouldn’t Mr. Carne- gie who is one of the largest bond- holders of the steel trust, contri- bute so generously to the repub- lican campaign fund?’’ These questions are not ones that require answers, but there is an- other question that has been put in a jesting spirit by a number of newspapers which may be easily answered. This question is suggested by Mr. Carnegie’s well-known prac- tice of making gifts on condition that the receiver of the gift contri- bute an equal amount. Mr, Carnegie in giving $20,000 to the republican campaign fund, probaly does not insist that a like amount be contributed to make his gift effective. The G. O. P. might very pro- perly urge that it already had ful- filled every condition of generous partnership when it created and maintained a protective tariff that enables the steel trust to charge American consumers several dol- lars more a ton for steel rails than it sells these products for in for- eign markets at a profit, after pay- ing all the cost of transportation. caused a perceptible decrease in’ at A ) seietenee ee : ————— ——————— > th a y Sent seit ||| ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT. | 18), | AVegetable Preparation fords- || similating the FoodandResuie |:] ting the Stomachs and Bowels of Baa |S| MOD We CERO Toy “1:1 Promotes DigestionCheerful “| ness and Rest.Contains neither I: Opium.Morphine nor Mineral. | NOTNARCOTIc. — a “A erfect Remedy for Consfiga tion, Sour Stomach, Diarrhoea :| Worms Convulsions.Feverish-. -| ness and LOSS OF SLEEP.

Held Fast in Electrical Grip— Couldn’t Let go Knobs to Save His Jewels—Gang Held Him Neatly, Taking Watch and Cash —Was Tortured and Robbed. New York, Oct. 12—Israel Eck- tein is a prudent man. : He lives at No 76 Ludlow street, in a Mansion once occupied by a family more Dutch and, perhaps, more dis- tinguished than his own, although. like potatoes, he enviously says, the best part of them is underground. Anyway it happened like this. At the corner of Grand and Essex streets is one of those ‘‘put a penny in the slot’ affairs, and this one suarantees to give all contributors an electric shock, and incidentally a dose of the fluid which is so useful to run trolley cars and kill murder- ers and so forth. Israel is no slayer of men, but last night as he passed the machine he paused to read the directions and other advice on the sign in front cf the machine. It te!d how for one cent, half the ills of the human body could be cured. the blood stim- ulated and lots of other things. Now Israel hadn’t been feeling well and a doctor costs much money. He wore a big diamond pin, and a watch and chain that anybody could “hock”’ for $25. There was a tough gang of hvodlums on the opposite corner, sd be said to himself, ‘i’! wait till Ister,” and went hcm» to dinner. Atecut an hour iater he came back end fed his cent into the machine and grasped the handles. Everybody xunows that with even a mild currest it is hard to let go of the knobs de’+°3 your cents worth is up. One of the tough gang sud- denly appeared at Eckstein’s right hand and jabbed the indicator away across the board.”’ If he could have let go at first he couldn’t now, and clutching the handles, while he yelled in angony, the poor man danced before the ma- chine. Then the rest of the gang came up. One deftly unscrewed Israel’s diamond stud, which wus saippesediy secure w.th a patent fas- tener. Another removed his watch chain and charm, while a third and fourth frisked his pockets and drew therefrom some $62 and a little change. They got away before the electric charge was used up, and the police- man to whom he told his story, ad- vised him to keep quiet or he’d ‘‘be iaughed at.’ “But the shock was terrible,” said Eckstein “Electricity won’t hurt you,” said the unsympathetic officer, who didn’t want Eckstein to make a complaint on his beat. “It isn’t that shock,” said the vic- tim of the double thrill, “it’s the money shock.” ‘‘Oh- piffie,” remarked the blue- coat, but Eckstein made a complaint ut the station-house just the same. ——_2<+ Aged Man’s Remarkable Activity. Mr. Grier Coan who lives near Mineral Springs in Sandy Ridge township is 79 years old today. He is a man of remarkable activity for one of his age. On last Thurs- day he picked one hundred and four pounds of cotton and on last Friday before his day’s work was 1 pound less than it was on Thurs- day. If all the folks were like Mr. Coan there would be no dext- ists. Every tooth he has is as ‘sound as a dollar’’ and toothache is an unknown pain to him. —_—-4< oe —_——_——_ Democratic Speakings.

An exchange says: “A week ago yesterday afternoon Mr. Lace Morrison shot and killed a blue and speckied female hound in Shiloh township. Sheis sup- posed to have been maid, as she bit a pup just before she was shot and bitten another dog or two before that. The dog was shot first without effect. Later she was shot and not killed nor seemed to pay particular atten- tion to the molestation. Finally Mr. Morrison succeeded in slay- ing the dog with rocks. It is notknown just now how many dogs were bitten but others have been reported. —_—_——_<-+<>>e__—_- Taft Train Wrecked.

Put Republicanism in a pipe and smoke it and you will see the picture of a panic in every puff. Voting the Republican ticket this fall will be a mighty poor way of giving bond for your free- dom from the present panic. The Republican party has two sides—the pie side for politicians and the blunt side for the suck- ers. Don’t be a sucker. With the Republican party itis every advantage for the favored few and nothing at all for the miserable many. Now don’t be a Republican be- eause that party boasted of @ “full dinner pail.’’ That taik was fashionable four years ago, but times have changed since then, you know. In 1906 Taft spoke at Greens- boro, N. C., and then he wanted a decent Republican party in the South. He’s since found out, no doubt, how difficult it is to fashion a sow’s ear into a silk purse. It’s a waste of time to argue with a man who inclines to admit that the Republican party caters to the wishes of the money pow- ers. He hasn’t got sense to know that water is wet. The panic. brought about by the wilderness of the Republicans. has gotten to be so offensive to the common people that the effect is giving many a poor Radical a pain across his hunghy misery. You may hive all the stars in a to dry, put the sky in a gourd to soak, unbuekle the belly-band of eternity, but never delude your self with the idea that you can stay the wave of ‘‘good senseism”’ that’s sweeping W. J. Bryan into the presidency of these United States, where he will land on the 4th of next March. ——___++@>e—___ Statesville R. F. D. No. 3.

Ringling Brothers have eome and gone. Two performances were given in this city on Tuesday and the universal verdiet is that it was the best and biggest cireus ever to visit this section of the country. Indeed, the show has’ both grown and improved most won- derfully sine2 its last visit to this city. Not a person could be found cither yesterday or today. not even the most chronie grumbler and kieker, who did not express him- self as being delighted with the performance. Tuesday’s Mascot told of the magnificent parade. It is estimated that there were 15,000 visitors in th» eity. Some say there were 20,000 people here There were at least 12,000 at the afternoon performance. The at- tendance at night was not so large. From here the cireus went to Winston-Salem. It came from Asheville. Today it showed at Charlotte. Thieves Were Active. Thet thieves were exceedingly active in the eity on cireus day there can be no doubt and the ex- act number of the loses will prob- ably never be known. It will be some time before the reports are all in. One Suspect Turned Loose. Besides the two pickpockets “nabbed’” at the cireus grounds by the deputy sheriffs, the city police arrested a man who was acting very suspiciously. He was picked up early in the day and was kept in the city prison till night when he was turned over to Deputy Sheriff Ward who es- eorted him to the cireus grounds and left him there with a warning not to again set his feet imside the city limits. This was done as he claimed to be employed with the show. and as the city did not have any ease against him. Knox, Poston & Co., Robbed. Messrs. Knox, Poston & Co., re- eelved a call from some _ rather strange behaving people during the day but in this ease they were not professionals. — The parties are known to at at least one member of the firm and for two quite good reasons this gentleman dishkes to prose- eute and subject them to the dis grace and notoriety that would follow.

Campbell is a pros- perous farmer at Olin and he be- lieves that the proper way to make a farm pay is for all hands | to remain at home and work it. He has a young son, aged about 17 and said son expressed a desire to see the cireus. The father re- monstrated and told the lad he had ‘‘bzen to town”’ and seen Rob- inson’s show and he had better stay at home, save his money and +] ee Statesville, N. C., Thursday Evening, October 15, 190 More Recruits for Army. Lieut. W. P. Gilbert in charge of the Statesville U.S. army re- eruiting office continues to secure a recruit every now and then. Last Tuesday he sent three men, Levi, Luther and Benjamin Chap- man of Ashford to the barracks at Columbus, Ohio. Levi and Benja- min are twin brothers and Luther is a cousin of the twins. Lieutenant Gilbert has two more waiting to be aecepted by Seret. W.S. Sinclair of Charlotte. Mr. O. L. Tolbert of Granite Falls, who was recently honorably discharged from the army after serving three years in the cavalry corps, has applied for reinlistment and will probaly be accepted. do his work. But the son was ‘‘circus erazy,”’ as the old gentleman puts it and would not listen to his sound ad- vice. He threw the sadle on a fine black mule and rode to town. He arrived early as all boys do on cir- eus day and hitched the beast in one of the stalls in the rear of T. W. Frazier’s tinshop on Center street. He left the saddle on the animal. When he went for the mule late Tuesday night to start for home what was his great dismay to find the mule missing. He hunted for the animal awhile and then tele- phoned word to his father of what had happened. The elder Campbell hurried to the city and the search for the missing mule was commenced in earnest. The city police and the county authorities wer notified but up to date no trace of the mule has been found. The saddle and blanket were found in the rear of the Presbyte- rian church where they had been thrown and one gentleman says h2 saw the mule grazing on the ehurch lawn Tuesday night—but that is all. Bryan Got an Ovation. A litle event transpired at the eireus that has caused a heap of comment and much merriment. When the afternoon perform- ance was about half over, Ray- mond Worth, a clown with a world wide reputation appeared in the rings, in an impersonation of Col. William Jennings Bryan. His ‘‘make up’’ was excellent. not a bit overdone and all who have seen the Nebraskan declared that the impersonation was as near perfect as it could well be. He earried a dress suit case, on which was inscribed the name of the candidate. As he walked around the track he was given a genuine ovation, there was pro- longed cheering and when one enthusiast jumped up in his chair and shouted ‘‘Three cheers for Bryan’’ the response was deafen- ing. The pseudo Mr. Bryan. ‘doffed his hat and smillingly bowed his acknowledgements. just as th - real article would have done. Negroes Hissed Teddy. A little later, Dave Clark, an- other well known clown and one of the best of the small army of fun makers with the Ringling 1Brothers aggregation, came along impersonating Theodore Roosevelt He received a veritable frost. Three or four attempts to ereate a demonstration were dismal fail- ures and when he reached the sec- tion set apart for the colored spec- tators he was roundly hissed. He earried a big stick on his shoulder and showed his teeth in true Roosevelt style. The imper- sonation was a good one and the hisses he received probably pleas- ed Dave immensely for he is a thoroughbred Democrat. ae — HE HAS INSULTED STATE. _—— His Statement of its Purpose as Much ofa Reflection to the State as His Greensboro Speech Was on His Party. (Special to The Mascot.) Raleigh, N. C., October 14>—The reason given by Mr. Taft for his Visit to North Carolina and other southern states is as much of a re- flection on the state as a whole as his speech in Greensboro to the Republican State convention in 1896 was to his party in this state. He is reported in the New York Tribune of last Sunday as follows: “I am going south to make a few speeches—one in Kentucky, one in Tennessee, one in North Carolina, one in Virginia, and one in Maryland—not so much with a view to carrying those states as to show the people down there that. no matter what they think they are a part of the union, and. be- ing a part of the Union, they ought to vote for the Republican party. voting for which will make them a Tart of the nation and give to them that influence which people of their intelligence and energy and progress and enterprise ought to enjoy.”’ ‘ This is nothing less than a charge that while the south is bod- ily a part of the union. that its thought is not loyal to the union and that the only means by which the south ean establish its loyalty and become a part of the nation is by allying itself with the Repub- lican party of which Mr. Taft said. in speaking to the representatives of that party, assembled in con- vention in Greensboro just two years ago: ‘‘In my judgment the Republi- ean party in North Carolina would be much stronger as a voting party if all the Federal offices were filled by Demoerats.’’ (All the state offices were filled by Demo- erats.) And again: ‘‘As_ long. however, as the Republican party in the southern states shall-repre- sent little save a factional chase for Federal offices in which busi- ness men and men of substance in the community have no desire to enter, and in the result of which they have no interest, we may ex peet the present political condi- tions of the south to continue.”’ Mr. Taft’s surprising statement ean be accounted for on no other theory than his propensity for making breaks. North Carolina’s loyalty to the union, in thought and sentiment as well as in fact. will not be questioned by any one but Judge Taft or Judge Mont- gomery, and with Judge Taft’s ‘‘onfit North Carolina Federal Office-Seekers”’ than it will sup- port Judge Taft in his and his party’s alliance with the trusts and protected interests upon which he relies to purchase his election to the presidency, 4+ To Visit Her Daughter.

Says the Supreme Court and Pro- ceeds at Once to Dismiss the Ap- peal of the J.S. Young Com- pany—Refuses to Give a Rea- son for Abandcnment of the Action. (Special to The Maseot.) Washington, Oct. 14.--The U. 5. Supreme court yesterday on motion of the companies dismiss- ed the cases of the United States vs. the MacAndrews & Company and the J. S. Young Company, of Baltimore, in which they were charged with violating the Sherman anti-trust law by combining to form a trust in lico- and conspiring to form a monopoly of that product and re- strain the interstate trade in it.

The government held that these ‘ompanies had practically gained control of the manufacture of lico- rice paste, a prime necessity for the manufacture of both plug and tobaceo as _ well as of snuff and cigars, The circuit court found the cor- porations guilty of a combination in restraint of trade and of an at- tempt to monopolize the leorice Dusiness. but they were acquitted m the charge of conspiracy. <A fine of $10,000 was imposed upon the MacAndrews company and of 8.000 upon the Young company.

A GOOD WOMAN GONE. ——_. ‘Mrs. Sarah Matilda Lewis Goes to Her Reward After a Long and Useful Life—Was Mother of the Late Lawyer William G. Lewis. Twice within three months has the Angel of Death come to bring’ sorrow and grief to the handsome Lewis home at 304 South Center street. Two and one half months ago it was a father and husband that was removed to the Great Beyond; yesterday morning God claimed the aged mother. indeed a erand- mother as His own. After a long life of usefulness to her family, her church and her friends, Mrs. Sarah Matilda Lewis relict of the late Angustus Marion Lewis, a prominent attorney of Raleigh calmly fell asleep in the early hours of yetserday morning and. joined the comrade of her early and mature womanhood in the Promised Land, For some weeks this good wo- man had borne with pati ce and; beautiful Christian fortitude her physical iils and when the end came her sw-et spirit was ready ‘or its flight to the Eternal joys beyond. To her had been allotted many years of great usefulness. Her 'ife was crowded with many d2eds f kindness and neighborly help- ‘ulness. She was a devoted and earnest ‘hristian, a vauled member of the Baptist church and she was loved, aonored and esteemed by the wide circle of acquaintances who came within the sphere of her beneficent influence, The deceased was in her 77th year... She was a native of Green- ville, this state. and was born, a Gorham. ¢ She is survived by one daugh- go, Who was with her at the sad taking off. Mrs. Basset has been here a month or more, being on her annual visit when the mother was stricken with her last illness. Three sons also survive. They cian in the Brooklyn, N. Y., navy yard. Edwin A. Lewis, a dealer in electrical supplies at Baltimore and John C. Lewis, who is now in Texas for his health. The first two were notified and at once hur- ried to Statesville. As stated above the late Lawyér Lewis of this city was also a son, and with him the aged mother had lived for some years. The deceased was a member of the Society of Colonial Dames and of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The funeral was held this morn- ing at 11 o’clock from the resi- dence and was largely attended. Floral tributes were numerous and very handsome. The services were conducted by Rev. C. A. Jenkins, pastor of the First Bap- tist church. The pallbearers were Messrs. W. A. Thomas. John M. Sharpe, W. L. Gilbert. Hon. L. C. Caldwell, Dr. H. F. Long and Dr. F. L. Sharpe. s The remains were taken to Ra- leigh on the noon train and to- night all that is mortal of this lovely lady will repose in the First Baptist church at that place, which the deceased’s late husband was largely instrumental in building and of which he was a deacon up till the time of his death. Interment will be in the family lot at Raleigh and the services at the grave will be held at 11 o’clock tomorrow. - +++ — - Mrs. Dr. J.C. Jurney of Tur- nersburg is the guest of Mrs. Geo. B.

Richmond, Va., Oct. 14.—If one of the side shows at the state fair had advertised that its patrons would see a man kill a horse with his bare hands it is probable that its tent would have been filled to bursting capacity and many dol- lars turned into its cash box, but that is precisely what a great throng of people on the Hermitage road did see when a husky farmer from one of the outer counties cap- tured a runaway plunging through a crowd of women and children and choked it to death by a power- » ful grip on the animal’s nose and throat. The horse was being tak2n into the grounds when it became frightened at a puffing automobile and broke from the groom, tear- ing off its bridle, the only harness it carried. Dashing through the crowd it spread terror among the people, a number barely being able to spring from its path in time to es- cape being run over. = - © Other horses took fright, men men were shouting, women and children screaming, and in a min- ute a genral stampede would have followed in which a number of peo ple probably would have been run over and tramped to death, when a powerfully built man, apparently a gentleman farmer, sprang full in the path of the madened animal, seized him (yy the nose and throat and by sheer physical strength stopped him. So. violently how- ever, did the animal plunge that th atthe.man was fore2d to shut off his wind. gled together; the horse rear- ing kicking and atempting to ing, kickink and attempting to break away from the deadly grip which was slowly closing on his throat. Suddenly the horse’s eyes were seen to strain from his head. and with a violent cough he feli to kis knees and roled over dead—- strangled. The man who had probably saved the lives of many women and children quietly steped back into the crowd. He declined to give his name and disapeared. The dead horse was dragged away. —__—+-<+ re AS to School Libraries. Superintendent L. O. White an- nounces that Iredell county is en- titled to six supplementary libra- ries from state library fund.

Uncle Sam desires to hear from 3,000 practical farmers who would like to own homes of their own. The government has nearly 200,- 000 acres of land lying under the various irrigation projects throughout the west for which wa- ter will be available next season. The farm unit on these projects varies in most cases from 40 to 80 acres of irrigable land depending upon location. In many sections a tract of grazing land has been included in the farm unit where ever practicable, bringing the to- tal up to 160 acres. The only charge for these farms, besides the regular land office fee for filing, is the actual cost of get- ting water to them, and payment may be made in ten annual instal- ments, without interst. These irrigation projects are scat- tered over the entire arid region, from Canada to the Mexican line. In consequence, every variety of crop grown in the temperate zone ean be raised under them.

If the President bai been proper- ly advised on the situation here they say, he undoubtedly would have put Maryland in the Taft column. ‘I do not know from where the President got his advice,” said Chairman Thomas Parran of the Repxblican State Central Com- mittee, “but if I had talked to him [ think thet he would have realized that Taft will carry Maryland by a substantial ma- jority.” At tbe Repubiican headquart- ers it is the consensus of opinion that Mr. aft is a sure winner in this state. 4 Bogus Temperance Circular. A bogus temperance circular is being sent out from Raleigh for the purpose of deceiving the peo- ple. State Charman A. H. Eller seen the circlur and said yester- day: ‘I'he impression sought to be made is that it eminates from Democratic headquarters. While the author of this anonymous circular pretends to see no hope for temperance in the Republican party, yet he advises all temper- ance people to vote against every Democrat who opposed State prohibition. “No man who stops to think will be deceived by this trick.” Mr. Eller hag published a circu- lar exposing the falsity of the bogus one, in which he gives the Democratic Hand Book of 1908, and in it he also includes whac Mr. Kitchen stated were his views on the temperance ques- tion in bis great speech at Apex, October 6th. —_—9-4ibb-2- Paid High for His Experience.

After nine months in the country he has written his friends for money to come home and begin life over again.

The ‘Statesv ille republicans are still confident that Mr. Taft’s spec- ial train will stop at the depot in this city, when it passes through Saturday en route to Salisbury, at least long enough for him to make a speech. Nothing definite however, was known about the matter at 3 o’ clock this afternon. Col. H. C. Cowles has received a letter from Marshal J. M. Milliken and in it that gentleman said that State Chairman Adams would use every effort to have the candi- date’s train stop here if it could possibly be done. J. Elwood Cox, republican ean- didate for governor is to sp2ak at the court house in this city tomor- row night and he is also to appear at the Taft speaking at Salisbury the next morning. Unless Mr. Taft’s train stops and takes him aboard there is no other way for him to get there in time unless of course, he should take a night ride by private con- veyance or automobile. — — ++ West Ayers Leaves.

C., says: “For sometime previous to using Doan’s Kidney Pills, I had felt miser- able, and could not find the source of my trouble. Dull dizzy spells caused me much suffering, and there was a severe pain across the small of my back. I felt generally languid and there was a noticeable lack of energy and ambition. I was finally advised to try Doan’s Kidney Pills, and im- mediately procured them at Hall’s drug store. They improved my con- dition in every way, and a further use brought about a complete cure.

The evidence against the negro was that of another colored man, J. Tillet MeLain. He testified ‘hat on three different occasions he had purchased a pint of whisk- cy from the defendant, paying him in each instance 50 eents for the ‘‘liker.’” lis honor found probable cause and held Hunter for the superior court in the sum of $50. He furnished the bond. Same Name—Same Offence. Will Hunter was also charged with retailing.

Ile was held for the next court and gave a bond of $50. For an Affray. Mr. Will M. Westmoreland and D. E. Cloaninger were charged with an affray. The evidence showed that after repeated efforts te coliect an ac- count from Cloaninger Mr. West- moreland undertook to knock the worth of his money out of him on the streets Wednesday.

Judge Clark eould not find that C!oaninger had done anything ex- cept to try to get away from the threshing he was receiving and which many in the court room seemed to think he deserved.

The Craig rally and barbecue at Bradford’s store in Shiloh township was a success in every respect under the wise manage- ment of Chief Marshal R. Lee Bradford and his assistants. The assistant chief marshals were Messrs, E. G. White, M. P. Alexander, B. L. Rhyne, and E. D. Brady. ies The marshals were as follows: Messrs. Rome Clark, C. L. Clark, W. J. Morrison, J. H. Smith, C. A. MecLelland, Pressy Davidson, W. S. Brawley, J. A. L. Deal, D. J. Fulbright, J. G. Freeze, C. L. Gil- bert, Q. A. Heever, A. W. John- son, Grover Rhyne, R. M. Shuping Neal Summers and J. R. Warren. Miss Maud Brady was chief marshall for the ladies. In buggies and on horseback, a column that was over a mile and a half long met Mr. Craig at the farm of Mr. Joe L. Woodsides and escorted him to the picnic grounds. In the carriage with the speak- er were Editor J. P. Caldwell, of the Charlotte Observer, Clerk of Court J. A. Hartness and Colonel A. D. Watts. Mr. Craig was introduced by Mr. J. A. Bradford of this city at 12 o’clock and delivered practieal- ly the same speech that he did at the court house last night, a report of which appears in another col- umn. Following the repast there was was served at an immense table over 150 feet long. Fololwing the repast there was an.address by Hon. Z. V. Long of this city. ~ ae The table was in charge of Rev. J.

Troutman Has a Bad Fall at Furniture Factory This Morning and is at The Sanato- rium With a Fractured Thigh. Mr. H. L. Troutman night watchman at the Imperial Furni- ture fell down several steps of a flight of stairs this morning as he was making his rounds and is at the Long sanatorium with a badly fractured thigh as a result. The accident occurred at about 5 o’elock and Mr. Troutman was obliged to lay where he had fallen, suffering the most severe pain un- til 6:30 when the negro boy who cleans out the office arrived. Fortunately the falling man held on to his lantern. Had he dropped it there would undoubt- edly have been a fire and as he was unable to move, Mr. Trout- man would probably have perish- ed in the flames. Mr. Troutman only recently burried his wife and much sym- pathy is being expressed for him in this his latest misfortune. ~se Block Party Last Night. The Block Party given at the Statesville Skating rink last night was enjoyed by every one present. The floor and skates Were in ex- cellent condition and the weather was just cool enough to make skating pleasant. The prize, which was a pass good for the remainder of Octo- ber was won by Miss Seago and Mr Richard Gill. The managers expect to give a similar attraction once every week. —_—_2-< > -6——___—_ Stops itching instantly. Cures piles, eczema, salt rheum, tetter, itch, hives, herpes, scabies—Doan’s Oint- Barbecue and Rally— Statesville, N. C., Friday Crowd to Hear Bad Lot. With abuse for none, patriotism galore and the eloquence which has made him so distinguished as an orator, Locke Craig! he, not of the mountains as some put it, but of all North Carolina, addressed a large and enthusiastic gather- ing of Democrats and other citi- zens at the Iredell county court house last night. The scene in front of the speak- er last night was a pretty one. It takes Locke Craig to get the ladies out. This is a well known fact and it was needless to men- tion it here. They all say he is good looking; they love him for his true manhood, they admire him for what he really is, and like all the men folks, except of course a few narrow minded radicals, they never miss an opportunity to hear him speak. There were more handsomely gowned matrons and sweet faced maidens in the audience than has greeted a political speaker in old Iredell for many a moon. In front seats and to the right of the speaker sat the students of the Statesville Female College, accom- panied by their teachers. They were dressed in white and pre- sented a pretty picture indeed. Mr. Craig appreciated all this dis- play of noble and handsome femi- ‘ninity and he did not neglect to say so. Last night the distinguished vis- itor was at his best and he made one of the strongest political speeches of his life. He present- ed the democratic cause with dig- nity and convincing power. His masterful presentation of the great principles of democracy must have filled every democrat present with a determination to labor for those truths and his re- publican hearers with wonder and awe. His showing up of the wrongs and abuses the people are suffer- ing as a result of class legislation ment. At any drug store. WITH DIGNITY AND POWER; SOUND LOGIC AND ELOQUENCE eer HON. LOCKE CRAIG.

St His Address at the clear that his audience could only wonder that a free people would endure them, Votes were made for the party and every true democrat was made to feel good. - The people were delighted with their favorite and all hands would like to hear him again. : Introduced by Col. Watts. Mr. Craig was introduced by Col. A. D. Watts who referred to him in most complimentary terms. As he stepped forward Mr. Craig was greeted with a tremen- dous ovation and while the men cheered and applauded the ladies waived their handkerchiefs. When the enthusiasm had sub- sided sufficiently for him to make himself heard, Mr. Craig commenc- ed his address and continued for an hour and twenty minutes. He thanked the democrats of Iredell county for their good will and the generous support he had received at their hands. He was gratified tc see so many present to hear him and he had a special welcome for the members of the fair sex. He paid them a hand- some compliment, as being the real rulers of the land and then went on to say that he didn’t expect there were many repubileans pres- ent. If there were they were in the best company they were ever in, in all their lives. ‘‘We are democrats,’” said Mr. Craig ‘‘be- cause of the high ideals for which the party stands.’’ Thomas Jef- ferson summed the situation up exactly right when he said, ‘‘De- mocracy means equal rights for all and speciai privileges for none.”’ The republican party today, as it always has, stands for the ideal of special privileges for those who are able to pay for them. What Would Happen. In the event of a continuation of the republican party in power, the large corporate interests many of them, realize that there by the republican party was so will be not only a continuation of will be increased. should not judge all men by what they say. A simple gance at the history of the repubican party shows that it has aways given the powerful industrial enterprises great great special favors, ad- vantages over the plain, common people. The corporations on one ocea- sion contributed $16,000,000 to de- feat Mr. Bryan. But the corpor- ations didn’t give the republican party this money. They simply advanced it for a short time to be returned with much interest in the shape of special favors, exclu- Sive privileges, .. The Standard Oil Co. In Mr. Roosevelt’s campaign for the presidency the republican party demanded that the Stand- ard Oil Co., contribute $250,000 to the campaign fund. It did con- tribute $100,000. The Standard Oil Co., has no polities; it is a mat- ter of business with it. For every dollar it contributes it expects to get a dollar and more in return. Roosevelt may denounce corrup- tion but his party does not bear him out in it. The humblest and poorest citi- zen has as much interest in the success of the Democratic party as the greatest and it is to the in- terest of all who are interested in justice to be interested in Demo- cratic success, as is evidenced by the whole history of the party. The republican party in North Carolina stands for everything and anything that will continue its members in office and no man of superior intelligence is a republi- ean in this state only for the office he now holds or because of one he hopes to get. Then and Now. Mr. Craig contrasted the condi- tion of the state when the repub- leans were in power and there was negro rule, with those of to- day. He told of how the demo- cratic party built up the school system and of its having redeemd the state from negro domination and placed its affairs in the hands of the white people. The republican party in North Carolina had stood for negro suf- frage and had died fighting for it. The grandest triumph of the democratic party was when a democratic legislature made it possible by one sweep of the pen to stamp out forever the legalized sale of liquor within the state. Industrial Development. The speaker then told of the great industrial development that had taken place in North Carolina since the democrats had taken the reins of its government in hand. The republican party nationally, he said, has worked ruin and in- justice as in state government. Today 100 men in the financial eenter control the financial and industrial destiny of the country because of policies of the repub- lican party, on which it bases its claim for votes. Mr. Craig thoroughly discussed the tariff in its every aspect show- ing its hardship and iniquities, yet making the discussion so simple that the humblest citizen could thoroughly understand and appre- ciate it. The speaker placed the respon- sibility for the panie upon the re- publican party, demonstrating how they brought it about and its results, dissolving banks, closed factories, failing business indus- tries, full soup houses and men and women crying for bread, es- pecially in the Eastern and West- ern sections. He then convincing- ly showed that if the Democratic é the special privileges they now e enjoy but that most probably they Are Using President Roosevelt and those about him will tell you this is not so but we E KVENING MAscor ate Libarion -No. 338 The Frank AND NOT PAYING POSTAGE. A Great Amount of Campaign Literature is Being Distributed by Both Parties—In This Sec- tion of the Country as Well as in Others. The franking privilege is not being overlooked during this cam- paign and the postoffices of the country, the local one being no ex- ception, are handling a_ vast amount of political matter which comes through under a frank and no charges to pay. Both parties are making a very general use of the frank extended to congressmen and people inter- ested in polititics are availing themselves of material on which Uncle Sam has paid the freight. { The Republican party has been particularly active in taking ad- vantage of the freight and a con- siderable amount of campaign lit- erature has reached this city in this way and is being distributed among the voters. ——~+e@>e—___ PERSONAL NOTES.

The train will not arrive earlier than 8 and may be expected from 8 to 8:30. At the hour of going to press it is not known whether the train will stop in Statesville. A powerful influence has been brought to bear to have it do so and if it does, the big fellow will doubtless show himself and proba- . bly make a speech. It is safe to say that a good siz- ed crowd will be at the depot in hopes to get a look at the maf who said such nasty things about the Tar Heel republicans on the oceassiono® his last visit to the state. el os a Se ~ — (Concluded on 4th Page.)

Just when things get to the very worst and it looks as though the whole world a litical interests are so necessary to the success of the republican party that they will control it and prevent a revision on proper lines and that there has been no indi¢a- tion that the revision may not be revised upward, rather than down- ward. To go further than this report of Mr. Bryan’s statement, it may be said that there is plenty of indica- tion that the next revision of the tariff by the republicans may be apward instead of downward. Waiving the announcement of Mr. Taft himself, earlier in the eampaign, that some schedules may have to be raised, the repub- lican platform declares in favor of “ench duties as will equal the difference between the cost of pro- duction at home and abroad, to- gether with a reasonable profit to American industries.”’ Mr. Taft now says that there will be a ‘‘genuine”’ revision of the tariff, but a reasonable profit to American industries covers any demand that least ingenious of the protected interests may be moved to make. —_———_—_~++a> o————_ Appointments for Saturday Night.

DEEDED TO PRESIDENT. ol Mr. James BE. Tharpe Runs Across a Strange Record on the Books in the Office of the Register of Deeds for this County. While looking over some old books in the office of the Register of Deeds yesterday, Mr. James E. Tharpe -ran across a strange and unusual transaction that was re- corded long ago. The “‘find,’? however, simply served to refresh Mr. Tharpe’s memory for he had heard of the transaction before, in fact, was well acquainted with all the par- ticulars. It seems that in 1857, on July 18, one, Andrew Baggarly of Eagle Mills deeded 10 acres of land “‘to the president of the United States and his suecessors in office, in consideration of natur- al love and affection.”’ The deed, as recorded, is indeed a most interesting document. It describes the land and gives its boundaries, says it is located ‘‘on Market street in Eagle City.’’ Mr. Baggarly was a well known character in his day and was known all over the state. When the deed was recorded, James Buchanan was president and when told of the matter this morning several questions came up in the mind of The Mascot man but he did not find time to hunt up answers to them. We wonder if Teddy Roosevelt even knows of his North Carolina holdings in realty? We would like to know if he has paid his taxes and if not, why his property has not been advertized by the sheriff and sold, just the same as would be that of some poor cuss who had a big family but no money with which to pay them. ——_—_++@> oo —__—_ Heavy, impure blood makes a muddy, pimply complexion, head- aches, nausea, indigestion. ‘hin blood makes you weak, pale, sickly.

This remark (Continued from Ist Page.) policy guaranteeing bank deposits were carried out there could be no such thing as a panic. He contrasted the attitude of both parties in regard to labor, showing that the Republican party had denied every demand of la- bor, the democratic party having [ stood for every plank that Gom- pers and Mitchell said labor de- sired, and he then asked how any laboring man who toiled with his hands could possibly be a repub- hean. Some State Issues. Going back to state issues Mr. Craig showed how the demo- cratie administration had built up the state agriculturally, industri ally and educationally spending more money for these great ben- efits than ever before and yet at the same time having a less levy of taxes on the people, as the money for these purposes was now large- ly collected from railroads, and other public service corporations, and not from realty and personal- ity as heretofore. One thing Mr. Craig specialiy emphasized, and that was the ne- cessity of every honest democrat who had voted in the primaries standing by the nominees. He declared that in his opinion the demoeratie party this year would be successful in nation and state, but that no man who went back upon the action of the primary, split his ticket or stayed at home could be ealled a good democrat or be entitled to any favors from the party and that in his opinion it was a sorry man who because he could not get the man he wanted, would seratch a candidate who had honestly been nominated. He called upon every good citizen to vote the whole county ticket and to work for every individual on it. Vote for Mr. Hackett.

Lets see who composes the re- publican party in North Carolina. Spencer Adams is at the head. Marion Butler is next in line and J. Elwood Cox is their candidate for governor. Mr. Hildebrand is their editor. It is on record that Spencer Adams called Marion Butler ‘‘a liar and a scoundrel;’’ that Mr. Butler ealled Mr. Adams ‘‘a white livered sneak’? and that Mr. Hil- derbrand called Mr. Cox “‘ a har and said ‘‘he had obtained money under false pretenses.’’ I don’t believe all these things but these men know each other better than lao. Do vou want, can you trust such men in charge of the affairs of your grand and beauti ful state. But the best of all comes from the republican candidate for pres- ident, Judge Taft himself. He said that the republican party in this state stands for graft, greed, public plunder and corruption of office and it has al- ways stood for that. These people are high in the councils of their party. They ought to knew what they are talk- ing about. . The republican party has been in charge of the national govern- ment for practically 46 years and is alone to be held responsible for the present evils that exist. In closing Mr. Craig compared the two candidates for president as men and patriots, politicians and statesmen and suming up, de- elared that no fair minded man eould conscientiously vote for Mr. Taft and the continuation of the- republican party in power. At times Mr. Craig had the au- dience laughing at his jokes and witticisms at other times cryine at his pathetic stories and all the time he had the most profound at- tention. ae Every one said that the speech did good, and all went away in the best of spirits. —___—4 +> To aid From Taylorsville.

Statesville was honored this morning by a brief visit from Judge William Howard Taft, re- publican candidate for president and the hearts of the republicans are clad. lle arived on a special train that was bearing him to Salisbury at about 8:30 o’clock and a crowd that probably numbered not less than 600 persons greeted him at the depot. The train stopped at the station ? principally to take on water and while that operation was in pro- eandidate addressed those who had assembled. lirst came the handshaking but this was not general. Gets First Handshake. The first to grasp the hand of the distinguished visitor was Dep- uty Collector C. B. Moore of the Internal Revenue office. Mr Charles J. Harris of Dillsboro, formerly republican eandidate for governor of North Carolina, was with the Taft party. He is in old time friend of Judge Taft, a former schoolmate. He is like- wise a elose personal friend of Mr. Moore. He came upon the platform with the presidential aspirant and seeing Mr. Moore in the crowd ealled him up and af- ter a cordial greeting introduced him to the Judge. If Mr. Moore holds his head a gress the \ittle high for a few days and fails to recognize his friends among the common people, they will now know the reason. Both the Imperial and States ville Furniture faetories closed down for a half hour to allow their employes an opportunity to see and hear Mr. Taft. There were a number of ladies present. prominent among them Mrs. Judge A. L. Coble, Mrs. C. B. Deaver, wife of the deputy collector, Miss Viola Young and Mrs. L. C. Caldwell and a party of friends. When the train stopped the ‘first to appear on the rear plat- form was Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of the treasurer. Then rame Judge Coble and J. Elwood Cox. Judge Coble introduced Mr. Cox and Judge Taft and other ereetings were exchanged. Judge Taft Speaks. It was probably the proudest ‘vent in Mr. Cox’s life when he ‘Stepped forward and said ‘‘Ladies tnd Gentlemen, I introduee.to you the next president of the United States.”? Mr, Taft was all smiles. Ne was dressed in a sae keoat, “tt one buton style, and coat, vest, ‘nd pants, all of the same mate- rial, were of iron gray. His beau- ‘iful brown moustache eurled up cracefully on either side of his nose and he had every indication of having just left the barber’s chair. He said: ‘One good turn de- Serves another and I desire to tell You that it delights me most thoroughly to be introduced to you by the next governor of the steat and glorious state of North being: Carolina. “I am glad to greet the peopie of your state for you are a great people. I believe, I know it is now time to wipe out all sectional- ism and forget that there was ever a north or a _ south. It is time for the republicans of the south to commence voting the re- publican ticket. When they will do that they will be in eon- trol of the south. “‘There has been much com- plaint; it has been charged that the south does not receive just recognition in the administration of the affairs of the union and J suppose she probaly does not. J can tell you this; as long as the republicans of the south continie to vote with the demoerats this condition will very probably re main unchanged. As long as the south remains as she now is, she eannot expect recognition from the government. *‘Unless you vote with the re- publieans, you can not expect to Share in the beneficent reward which is theirs, as a party. I am especially glad to be here in the south this morning as-I believ2 I am the only republican eandi- date for president ever to come among you. I am here to empha- size, to express my interest in you all. in your state, and in your instituions and I hope that the re- publiecans of North Carolina will become impressed wit hthe full importance of their duty and per- form it without fear and without favor. when the reward will be for them. I would not express my truest emotions did I not thank you for coming out here this this morning and I must assure you that I fully appreciate your presence and good _ southern 2ourtesy.”’ Here the train commenced to move slowly and with a sweep of his left hand, he held his black fedora hat in his right, and a po- lite bow, the candidate remarked *“Good bye.”’ ‘*sood-bye and good luck to you,’’ came from the crowd. ‘‘Three cheers for Taft’’ were given with a vigor and the dis tinguished gentleman was gone; rolling away on the trip to Salis- bury where he was greeted by an immense throng and delivered a prepared address at 10 o’elock. Those Who Joined the Party. Among those to join the Taft party on the train at the depot were the following: Hon. J. El wood Cox, republican candidate for governor, Col. W. 8. Pearson, Judge Spencer B. Adams, Judge A. L. Coble, Col. H. C. Cowles, Mr. R. V. Tharpe, Mr. Jas. E. Tharpe, Deputy Collector A. B. Freeman, Deputy Collector J. L. Councill, Mr. W. V.

No. 339 REPUBLICAN PARTY HOLDS FORTH IN IREDELL COUNTY COURT HOUSE. AND DEMOCRATS GATHER TO HEAR SPEAKERS Hon. J. Elwood Cox, Candidate for Governor, De- livers an Address and Createsfa Favorable Im- pression---Col. W. S. So and Fails---Hon. Pearson{Attempts to Do R. Z. Linney Does Not Materialize---Mistake About the Band. The republican speaking at the court house last night was well attended, the room being well fili- ed. Less than a dozen ladies were present and exactly 24 negroes occupied seats in the gallery. The attendance was made up largely of Democrats and it would probably be no exaggeration to say that over half of those present were of the Democratie faith. Indeed, the prominent Denw- ocrats were there, as well as the lesser lights in the party. For instance such men as Col. A. D. Watts, Clerk of Courts J. A. Hart- ness and Lawyers Charles TI. Armfield, R. B. McLaughlin, Geo. B. Nicholson and many others were to be seen scatered through- out the audience. Victor’s Veneitan Band. Some time before the speaking commenced an unusually fine band arrived in front of the court house and played several tunes. The musie was of a high order and most every body took it for granted that it was a part of the republican rally. It was noticed that many of the musicians were foreigners, Italians and a well known democrat charged that the radicals were making a bid for the Italian vote. Then the boys got together and commenced to figure up how much it cost Clint Wagner, Bob Tharp and Pomp Long to have secured such an extra fine musical attraction for their show, when somebody came along and ex-- plained that it was no part or par- cle of the Cox aggregation, that it was Victor’s Royal Venetian band that was booked to appear at Shearer Hall, a little later in the evening, as the first attrac- tion of the Lyceum course. Later, at the Female college, the musicians rendered a delight- ful program of high eclas§ music that was much enjoyed by a good sized crowd. Mr. Cox Introduced. It was 7:30 o’clock when Hon. J. Elwood Cox, accompanied by Judge A. L. Coble entered the hall. A few moments later Col. W. S. Pearson arrived, escorted by Mr. L. C. Wagner. Hon. R. Z, Linney had been an- nounced to speak but he failed to show up and no explanation was made as to his absence. Mr. Cox was introduced by Judge Coble in an eloquent ad- dress. The judge said that Mr. Cox did not claim to be an orator, but that he was a man of action not of words. He referred to Mr. Craig’s statement to the effect that there was not a republican in the state of North Carolina of superior inteligence who was. not a republican because of the fed- eral office he held or one he hoped to get. The judge said he could without trouble point to any number of men whose record would refute that charge but he would content himself for the present by pointing to the present republican eandi- ee for governor. He character- ized him as a man of superior in- telligence, who had never sought office either in or out of the part: He called atention to what Mr. - Cox had done for High Point, to ithe fact that he was a thorough , business man and if elected would ‘give the state a business-like ad- | ministration. Judge Cobles’s remarks were expressed in an eloquent man- ner and it was evident that there were many in the audience who would have been pleased to have had him continue. Mr. Cox received an _ ovation. He is a fine type of the successful North Carolina business man and he created a favorable impres- sion. The audience had been told not to expect oratory or rhetorie from Mr. Cox and what they heard Was a plain everyday statement of Mr. Cox’s position, his policies and an arraignment of democrats for what he termed their bad leg- islation. He told hig hearers he liked Statesville. All the speakers who come here tell us that but proba- bly he didn’t know it. That he formerly had business interests here. He said that there were many good republicans in Statesville, that all republicans were not bad as Mr. Craig would like to have it believed. There were as many men of honor an integrity in the republican party as in any other. Perhaps the republicans had been talking about each other as charged but hadn’t some demo- cratic papers said nasty things about Mr Kitchen. He was sorry Mr. Craig could not have heard Mr. Kern when he was in North Carolina and said that it was time that personalities had been laid aside. He had been nominated for governor at Char- lotte convention because there was aAlemand for a business man in the executive mansion, that/he believed the business and political affairs of the state shpuld be blended more closely together. Mr. Kitchen had advocated that there should be but one party. He was sure the best interests of the state demanded that there be two. H he could not be elected by an honest ballot and an honest count he did not want the office. Mr. Cox then went into a lengthy discussion of railroad rate legislation by a demoeratic legis- lature and declared that the panic, in his opinion, was caused by A, that it commenced with the arrest of Ticket Agent Green and the $30,000 fine on the Southern. They Became Alarmed. The people in the financial cen- ters, he said became alarmed at such legislation. ‘‘I don’t want you to tkink, said Mr. Cox, ‘‘that I am for the railroads. The only railroad stock I own came to me through a donation I made to a proposed road connecting High Point and Asheville and it isn’t worth a cent. I was made presi- (Continued on 4th Page.)

The Commoner says: The Associated Press reports, and the republican organs print with pride, and point to as an evi- dence of ‘‘returning prosperity,”’ the item that John Wannamaker has decided to immediately begin building a $6,000,000 business structure in Philadelphia, ‘‘there- by putting 1,000 men at work in the building industry.’’ Not desiring to add to the al- ready heavy embarrassme» of the republican organs by ashing them to explain how prosperity could now be ‘‘returning’’ with- out having first departed. The Commoner would like to ask why the republican organs failed to print all the facts about this Wan- namaker job. They emphasized the fact that Mr. Wannamaker ad-" vertised for 1,000 workmen, but they failed to report that up- wards of 4,000 workmen answered the advertisement to ‘‘appear on the job at 7:30 a. m.’’ and that hundreds of these congregated on the job at midnight before in or- der to better their chances of se- crring employment.

Woman Was Double Wife WASHED DISHES FOR TWO. Miss Catherine Stroebel Kept House for Two Husbands at the Same Time and in the Same Neighborhod. New York, October 15.—In- stances of a man maintaining two R | Wives in different parts of the city: are net rare, but it is not often thac a woman s'ides into the lime- light as the possesor of two hus- bands with whom she lived every day in the year. Mrs. Catherine Stroebel was such a versatile helpmate, accord- ing undisputed evidence furnish- ed yesterday before Justice Aspin- wall in the Brooklyn supreme court, where Phillip Stroebel was awarded a decree of divorce from her. Judge Aspinwall was satisfied by the evidence that Catherine lived with Stroebel as his wife at 247 Stanhope street, and with one Jacob Valusse as his wife, at At- lantic and Grant avenues, Rich- mond Hill, a suburb of New York. She was aided in her duel house- hold accomplishments by the fact that Stroebel, whom she married in 1899, is an engineer and works nights. Valusse is a clerk and works in the daytime. The protean female performer engaged to reign in the two house- holds. She experienced no diffi- culties on Sundays and on the rare occasions when her husbands took a night off. Valusse did not work Sundays, but Stroebel worked Sunday nights. She Was a Hustler. The terms of Stroebel’s employ- ment forced him to leave his home at 6 o’clock in the evening. Before departing he would eat what cor- responds to a day worker’s break- fast. As soon as he was out of sight, Mrs. Stroebel would put on her wraps, close up the house and hasted to Richmond Hill, where she would assume her position as Mrs. Valouse. The clerking Va- lusse wound up his labor at 6 o’clock in the evening. By the time he got out to Richmond Hill his apparent wife would have din- ner on the table for him. She would spend the night at Valusse’s house, and get up at 5:30 in the morning and prepare his break fast. Valusse left his house about 6:30. Mrs. Valusse would put-on her wraps, close up the house, and hasten down to her home in Stan- hope street to begin the day as Mrs. Stroebel. Stroebel would get home about 7:30, tired and sleepy, and wash the oil and coal dust from himself. Then he would sit down to a meal corre- sponding to a day-worker’s sup- per after which he would go to bed. If Mrs.Stroebel needed any sleep she could take it while her hus- band slept through the day. As soon as he was out of the way in the evening she would move to Richmond Hill again. She alter- nated between the two houses day after day. ——_—_~++ 2 o—— What Did It? The Hornet. The sensible man says it is the existence of corporations.

Evidence of which way the pol- itical wind is blowing sometimes comes from strange sources. Lew Hawkins, the minstrel actor, tells an interesting story which shows the trent of public sentiment to- ward Byran. Lew is an actor and no popolitician. He tries to;please all shades of political opinion and to his end he has a campaign song with stanzas mentioning all of the candidates. This is what he says regarding it: “I have been singing the song for about five weeks, mostly through the West. Every fall I get out a little campaign song of some kind, especially in Pres- idential years. I have jbeen singing this one in the cities of tke West,'and now you can be- lidve me when I say it has awl- ways been aclean sweep for Bryan when it comes to applause. Why, lsang itin Des Moines, Ia., a hide-bound Republican city ina Republican state, and the audi- ences simply cheered the Byran verse so that I had to stop while they almost hissed me off the stage when I saug the Taft stanza. It was a clean Byran sweep and it was the same thing in Minneapolis,,st.Panl. Chicago Salt Lake City, and Denver.” The metropolitan papers have begun to speculate as to the men whom Mr. Bryan will select as members of his official family in the event of his election as President. The Hearst papers precict that Herman Ridder, treasurer of the Democratic Nat- ional committee will be appoint- de ambassador to Germany. Thisis the first time Mr. Byran’s election has ever been considered seriously by a hostile press. There is no more sure indication aifored anywhere that the Dem- ocrats will assume control of the Federal Fovernment March 4th next. ——_4<+<s-e———__— Sherman and the Railroad Man. When rate legisation was the burning topic in congress last year Representative Sherman, the Repnblican nominee for vice- president, proposed an amend- ment to the Hepburn bill aimed squarely and directly at the em- ployes of railroads. His pro- position was that the railroads be prohibited from issuing passes to their employes and but for a big fight put up by those who rec- ognized the manifest injnstice of depriving by indirection the rail- road men of the country of a part of their conpensation the amendment would have been en- acted into law. A vote for Taft means a vote for Sherman and a vote for Sher- man means the endorsement of his proposition to redcue, in eff- ect, what the railroad man real- izes forhis service. —_+<+<@>-e-—_——_ Big Shipment of Tobacco.

Without them we could not transact our business Here Mr. Cox went into sta- tistics showisig the immense sums invested in railroads in the state, the amount paid employes in sal- aries and the amount they pay in taxes. Stop Talking Ancient History. He said we should stop talking about the days of ’68 and ’69. Life is too short to look backward. We should look to the future. There are two kinds of demo- erats, the conservative and the radical, and there is as much dif- ference between them as there is between the democrats and re- publicans. He spoke in behalf of Mr. Taft and then asked that all hands vote for Mr. Cowles, as with a republi- can congress. Mr. Hackett’s hands were tied and he could do nothing for his party or anyone else. A vote for Hackett, he said, was a vote thrown away. Mr. Cox closed by saying that if elected he would have no axe to grind and by promising to give the state a business like adminis- tration. The Last Speaker Col. W. S. Pearson of Charlotte was introduced as the second speaker. He spoke for an hour and a half but did not seem to impress or in- terest his audience. Soon after he commenced to speak, men commenced to leave the room and he was more or jess interrupted throughout his re- marks by those who had grown tired of his ramblings and sought to escape further torture by leav- ing. rod To their credit however, it should be stated that of those who left the room while he was speak- ing not one was a’ democrat of sufficient prominence to be known to the writer. The colonel closed his speech by frankly admitting to his audience that he had told them nothing nor advanced any new ideas. —_—_+<+2>-»—_—__ COTTON MARKET. Local Market.

He is Heir to FORTUNE FOR GLOVE FITTER © —_——_——_ The Inheritance is the Old Story of a Long Lost Nephew and a Sick Uncle—Fortune Had Been Waiting for Him for Many Years. \ Jhicago, Oct. 19—Heir to a for- tune of more than a million do!- lars, but uncertain if he really can afford to accept the heritage on account of the happiness\ of his family, is the strange position of Emil Ascher, a retailer of men’s gloves, who lives contentedly with his wife and eight children in & Prairie avenue flat. His inheritance is the old story ofalong lost nephew and the rich uncle. In the case of Ascher his uncle died twenty years agoin London after accumulating a fortune of great magnitude. For _ these twenty years the search for Asch- er has been almost world-wide and it was only by a chance that he came to know of bis heritage. Six months ago Mrs. Ascher received a letter from a friend in Germany near the place where she was born, saying that afam- ily of the name o: Ascher had fall- en heir to a large iortuue and that the names of the members of the family were wanted by 4 London law firm. Mrs. Ascher had little idea that her husband was among those to become beneficiaries. She wrote back, however, to a cousin in Berlin, asking him to look intothereport. Mrs. Ascher received a letter, in which it was stated that her husband wascer- tain to share to the extent of at least a million dollars in the Joseph Ascher estate. Falling heir to a million, how- ever, did not seem to produce the thrill iu Mrs. Ascher or her family that might be expected iv these commercial times. She foupd cause for displeasure in- stead of joy and fear2d that so much money in her family might disrupt the prevailing happiness ia her little fireside. —_—_~++@> > —__ - Ladies to Take Part in Horse Back Parade.

Miss Martha Moore announced this morning that the operetta en- titled “‘The Enchanted Wood,”’ would be given on Thursday evening next at-the opera house. When it is known that 56 small children are to take part in the east the size of the task under- taken by Miss Moore and Miss Angie Mullaly, who are sponsors for the production, will be appre- ciated. The music of the piece is sweet and catchy, and the customs to be worn by the children will be as pretty as they are elaborate. Fifty-six children means that at least 112 fond parents are en- ticipating the event with keen in- terest and there are many others in the same state of mind. The proceeds are to go to the Billingsley hospital and this makes the object of the ‘‘play’’ a most worthy one. A souvenir program is to be published in connection with the event and this morning Miss Moore was out soliciting adver- tisements for it. It is to be hoped that she met with a liberal re- sponse. —— a Mr. Mitchiner Back. Rev. J. F. Mitchiner, who was assisting Rev.

Had it not been for the heroic conduct and great presence of mind displayed by young De Witt Ramsey, the pretty Ramsey home at 515 Davie avenue would un- doubtedly be in ashes today. At a little after dark Saturday night a gasolene lamp exploded in the house. Mr. Ramsey quickly grabbed it, even though it was a mass of flames and hurried with it to the door where he threw it into the WOEGS -: The young man was painfully burned on one of his hands and Was taken to the Billingsley hospit al where it was dressed. Although very painful, the burn is not a par- ticularly serious one. Mr. Ramsey was in his usual place at the Ramsey-Bowles store today. ; A little damage was done to some furniture and the carnet but this was slight, An alarm was telephoned to the fire department and the horses had been hitched up when another mes” sage was received saying that the flames had been extinguished. —_—~++@>-—___ Ratledge Place Sold.

An interview with the contrae- tors and real estate men of States- ville must convince any one that now is the time to build houses. Building materials are cheaper than they have been for the past several years and cheaper than they will be when prosperity throughout the country returns. Labor is plentiful and there will be no delay in operations. Money is more or less plenty and can be borrowed right now on very favorable terms. If any citizen thinks Statesville is a finished town, of course he will keep his money in his pocket. If all citizens think so. let us all quit hustling and take life easy. Let us eat, drink and be merry. for tomorrow we die. But there are those who have faith in the growth of their city and these should discount the fu- ture and prepare for the good time to come. Money expended now in any de- sirable class of buildings will be well invested and will show a good profit by and by. That is our firm belief. Money thus expended will give employment to workmen, helf the mercantile trade and give a stim- ulous to business. Now is the time to build. If you doubt it. confer with the real estate men, the lumber people and those who have money to loan. ————~++2>2—__—_ PLEASE PAY UP. _ We have on our sribaceintionll books a few that are in arrears on subscription accounts.

Caldwell of this city is rated as one of the most elo- quent and foreible speakers on the politieal rostrum. His services are in great de- mand in all parts of the state and if it were not for the fact that his law business prevents he would undoubtedly be kept busy on the stump from now to election. Chairman A. H. Eller of the State Democratic Executive Com- mittee announces the following ap- pointments for Mr. Caldwell: Winston-Salem, Saturday, Octo- ber 24. In Davidson county at Arnold, Monday, October 26. Areadia Academy, night, October 26. Midway, Tuesday, October 27. Wallburg, Tuesday night, Octo- ber 27. In adition to these Chairman J. A. Hartness has made the follow- ing appointments for Mr. Caldwell in Iredell county: Loray School House, Tuesday night, October 20th. Ostwalt School House, Wednes- day night, October 21st. Doolie School House, Saturday night, October 24th. It will be noticed that Mr. Cald- well’s appointments for next Sat- urday night conflict. That gentle- man is on record as having sur- mounted some mighty obstacles in his day but it is hardly probable that he will attempt to speak at Winston-Salem and the Doolie school house at tlie same time. An announcement in regard to these meetings will probably be made at an early date. 2-44 Troutman R. F. D. No. 1. Mr. E. A. Matherson has been making mollasses and is about through.

Steele’s Pullets, Then His Old Hens and Finally They Caried Away His Pumpkids. Material for a good old fash- ioned Thanksiving day dinner, chicken and pumpkin pies is get- ting rather scarce up at the house of Mr. T. L. Steele, 112 Mulberry street. And all of this because of the depredations of some very unwel- come Visitors. One night last week they called and carried away three choice young pullets. The loss was dis- covered by Mrs. Steele the next morning. During the dark hours of the following night two old hens, that deserved a better fate because of the numerous large families of broilers and roosters they had reared, disappeared. A day or two later Mrs. Steele discovred that several large pumpkins had been ruthlessly re- moved from her garden. A watch is being kept ofAhe premises and if the miscreants eall again they may get something besides chicken and pumpkin. ——_—_~+-+ > ____ At the Hospital.

Caried Into Swamp by Two Men and Cannot be Found—Ameri can Girl who Married Foreigner the Object of Persistent Attack by Rascals—Returted Home Time. —_——- New York, O2t. 20.—Mrs. Abby Wickes-Merriongola, the 17-year- old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wickes, of Huntington, L. I.,is believed to have perished in a swamp five miles south of Huntington&Sunday night after she had beeu kidnapped from the home of her parents and bound in the dense woods by her cap- tors. A posse is searching through the swamps for her or her dead body. The police of Huntington and the neighbors »re firmly con- vineed that the girl is dead, while the jail at Huntington, a ram- shakle sort of affair, in which two of her alleged kidnappers are confined, is being closely cuarded for fear of attack. The Kidnapping of this Ameri-an girl by foreigners cannot be explain- ed, unless it is that her marriage to Nichola Merriongola some six months ago offended some cian. Merriongola was employed on the Wickes farm and was a sav- ing fellow and attended strictly to husiness. teand his employ- ers daughter eloped six months ago. Forgiveness awaited the couple when they returned to the farm and Mr. Wickes zave his son-in-law a piece of ground in south Huntington. On Thurs- day night while the husband was absent, two men entered the house, bound and gagged the young woman and took her to the woods. Three days later the girl staggered into her father’s home. The father and husband had searched for her night and day after the kidnapping and the father had reported the case to the police. He asked, however that the matter be kept quiet. When the girl got to her fath- er’s she was dazed and weak. She had beep horribly mistreat- ed, and could remember but lit- tle, save thatshe had been taken to a swamp by two men and kept there. Late Sunday night, while the men folks were absent, the same men appeared, and seizing the girl bride, hurried toward a big swamp, threatening to kill her mother if she made an outery. The husband and father, return- ing soon after, organized a posse. The men, who refuse to give their names, were captured in the swamp but no trace of the girl has been found and it is feared that she may have per- ished in the swamp. —_——++2@>-e—__ Came to Visit His Son.

Lathonia, Ga., October 19.— Charlie Mitchell, a negro, yester- day shot and killed T. L. Peek, a bailiff, and C. F. Argo, a young white man, and after badly beat- ing C. S. Elliott, deputy sheriff, over the head with his pistol es- caped, Peek, Argo and Elliott, it is said, had a warrant charging the negro with an attempt to murder G W. Brooks, a white man, on Sat- urday, and went to his house near here to arrest him. When the ne gro saw the officers approaching, it is s$id, the opened fire on them. The officers returned the fire and attempted to rush on the negro. Peek and Argo were killed almost at the door of the house. The ne- gro then attacked Eliott and dealt him several hard bfows on the head with his pistol, knocking him down. Mitchell then made his es- cape. News of the shooting quickly spread and several posses are now in pursuit of Mitchell, who, it is said, is heavily armed. Blood- hounds have been secured from Deeatur and Convers.

Colonel Gardiner Induces Superia- to Refuse to Surrender Thaw, On Order of Federal Judge Ar- Packed but is Held. New York, Oct. 20.—Thestate of New York has defied the Feder- al courts, ard Harry Thaw in- stead of being in Pittsburg yes- terday as ordered by Federal Judge Archibald, was detaized, at Matteawan Asyium by the State authorities. Col. Asa Bird Gardiner; the dep- uty attorney general employed for this case, has induced Doctor Lamb, superintendent of Mattea- wan, to refuse to give Thaw up. Attorney Morschauser declar- es that Gardiner will go to jail for his defiance. Thaw was so sure he could ke taken to Pittsburg that he dress- ed himself for the trip and had his suit cases packed. —__—_+> > Mr, Holton Tonight. The following is what the Dur- ham Herald says about the speech of Hon. A. E. Holton, who is to address the citizens of Iredell County at the Court house tonight: District Attarney A. 15. Helton addressed a tremendous audience at the court house last night and for an hour and a half hehad the boys whooping it up in glorious style. Mr. Hoiton’s speech was some- thing new. While satistical large- ly, his conclusions were pleasing to his hearers and they found in them new reason for the dread- ing a return of democratic rule. The burden of the district at- torney’s sung was the attitude of the republican party towards labor. Taking his own party’s platform for a text and contrast- ing the democratic platform with it he argued that the only real friend that the order oflabor has ever had is the republican party. He reasoned that out by figures tending to show that all states that have paid labor well and furnished it steady employment were republican states. 4 The speaker was met by one of the largest crowds of the year. The court house was not only filled but packed, the doors and aisles jammed, the vestibule crowded and men unable to gain seats walked away. All of this crowd too went there with fairs on either side of them and the best play on the road giving an attraction at the Academy of Music. This has occured most often? When men are spellbind- ing there is some one treading the boards and excuses are made for the paucity of numbers. But it is safe to wager that the peo- ple who are artistic enough to attend the plays are too much so to relish the rancor of a cam- paign. The district attorneys argne- ment was an ingenious one. It was put properly and never fail- ed to lodge upon his audience. The boys kept him in good hu- mor and he kft this morning with the best feeling for Durham. Mr. Linney Also. Hon.-R. Z. Linney who was — last Friday night, failed to arrive on account of missing his train by five minutes. He will speak j tonight with Mr.Holtcn.

J., Issues Orders That It Must Cease—Billing and Cooing Between Teachers ald Their Sweethearts Has Reached Its Limit—Dr. Mackey Was ' Shocked. _—_— Trenton, N. J., Oct. 18,—“Bill- ing and cooing” between young women school teachers of Tren- ton and their sweethearts over the telephone wires must cease— at least.during school hours. The school authoritiesjdeclare are not seemly should any one inadver- tently break in on the line; and also because the telephones are for school business and not for “spooning”. able indignation among the five hundred young schoolmad- ams of the city, all of whom are positive in their denials that they ever “‘spoon”’ either on the telephone or elsewhere. The incident which stirrd up the trouble occured when Sup- ervising Principal Mackay, in rying to teach one of theschools vy telephone, interrupted a con- versation made up mostly of en- dearing terms and giggles. The girl’s voice declared that the man on the other end of the wire was the “only onliest,”’ which jarred Dr. Mackey’s grammati- cal sense;and the man promised the girl a dozen kisses duplica- Dr. Mackey hung up the receiv- er, called a meeting of the school principals and directed them to instruct their teachers that “love making” over the tele- phone’during school hours would not be tolerated. The School Board will back up Dr. Mackey, if for no other reason than that it is difficult to fill the places of many teachers who are resign- ing to become brides. —_—_——_+-+< > ____— To and From Charlotte.

Hon. L. C. Caldwell of this city is rated as one of the most elo- quent and forcible speakers on the political rostrum. His services are in great de- mand in all parts of the state and if it were not for the fact that his law business prevents he would undoubtedly be kept busy on the stump from now to election. Chairman A. H. Eller of the State Democratic Executive Com- mittee announces the following ap- pointments for Mr. Caldwell: Winston-Salem, Saturday, Octo- - | ber 24. In Davidson county at Arnold, NT sfondey, October 26. Areadia Academy, Monday night, October 26. Midway, Tuesday, October 27. Wallburg, Tuesday night, Octo- ber’ 27. In adition to these Chairman J.

Doolie School House, Saturday night, October 24th. It will be noticed that Mr. Cald- well’s appointments for next Sat- urday night conflict.

Is it possible that in these days when cleanliness and sanitary re- form is being preached in the churches, schools and at public gatherings, that thousands of peo- ple will continue to suffer from eatarrh, when there is an absolute- ly certain‘remedy always on hand. Hyomei (pronounced High-o- me) is a pleasant, medicated and antiseptic air. Breathe in it and it will cure ecatarrh. It will stop foul breath, watery eyes, crusts in the nose in a few days. “I suffered from catarrh for two years; tried numerous reme- dies which failed; used one and half bottles of Hyomei and am entirely cured.”-—C. N. Lindsy, £07 East First Ave., Mitchell, S. D. A complete Hyomei outfit, con- sisting of a strong, hard rubber pocket inhaler and a bottle of Hy- omei, costs only $1, and extra bot- tles, if afterwards neded cost only 90 cents each. Statesville Drug Co., sells it and guarantees it ta do exactly as advertised. Hyomei also cures Asthma, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds, and in- fants Croup. a: THE GRAMPUS GOURMET. This Marine Monster’s Prey Is the « Bowhead. Whale. “Of all the gourmets on land or water,” said the captain, “commend me to the grampus.” The ladies at the captain’s table looked with inquiring smiles at the handsome sailor. “The grampus,” he went on, “is a kind of overgrown shark or a kind of undersized fighting whale. You can take your choice. At any rate, he is a terrible creature to meet with if you happen to be aquatic. “He and his mate travel together. Sometimes they have a friend along— big, fine, strong chap, as such friends usually are. And their game is the bowhead whale. “When they find a whale they go at him. They stick to him invincibly. They punch and thump till he is as limp as a rope of seaweed with ex- haustion. Then, by means of one hor- rible deed, they show their unexam- pled gluttony. “They take hold of the whale’s lower lip; they hang their weight on it until it drops open. Then in go their heads, disappearing inside that great red mouth, that warm, moist cavern of scarlet, and they eat in there the whale’s tongue, a tender tidbit, very rich and delicate. “The tongue consumed, they go on their way again, leaving the whale to die slowly.”—New Orleans Times-Dem- ocrat. WHITE ISLAND. its Strange Lakes, Sulphur Fumes and Clouds of Steam. White island, a New Zealand natu- ral wonder, derives its name from the clouds of white steam in which it ap- pears to be continually enveloped. Its area is only 600 acres and its height about 880 feet above the sea level. In form and color it is like a repos- ing camel, while its interior, with its gray, weather beaten, almost perpen- dicular cliffs, recalls the Coliseum at Rome. Overhanging the southern land- ing place stands a column of rock Closely resembling a sentinel, which has been dedicated to the memory of Captain Cook. The water of the is- land is of a pale green hue, and any- thing dipped into it becomes of a red brick color. The fumes of sulphur are always plainly perceptible. On a fine moonlight night a wonder- ful sight is afforded to any one who will sit in an open boat in one of the lakes of the island. Covering an area of fifty acres is an immense caldron, hissing and snorting and sending forth volumes of poisonous steam, while all chances of egress appear to be de- nied by the steep, silent and gloomy cliffs.—British Australian. Flying Fish. Interesting are the habits of the fly- ing fish, that queer denizen of the sea found principally in the region of the trade winds. “Does it rise from the sea like a bird?” you ask. No. It shoots out of the waves like an arrow, and with outspreading wings sails on the wind tn graceful curves, rising some- times, one might say, to the height of fifteen feet, but not often so high, and then, lowering, it again touches the crest of a wave and renews its flight. This operation may be repeated till it covers a distance, say, of 500 yards in the case of the stoutest on the wing, though very often not half that dis- tance !s covered. A ship sailing through the trade winds will often be visited on dark nights by flying fish which hit the sails or rigging and fall on deck, where of course they soon give up life.——St. Nicholas. Sponges Are Sunstruck. The sponge being an animal, it is necessary to kill it. This is done by exposing it for several hours on the broad decks of the boats. In summer sponges soon die, but in winter take a long time owing to weaker force of the sun. After death they are brought ashore and put in the cradles. These are inclosures made on the seashore by setting stakes a little apart from each other. The ebb and flow of the tide wash the animal matter from the sponges, and the work is completed by manual labor. They are then taken to the packing house, graded, strung, baled and dispatched to their destina- tion.—Pall Mall Gazette. Perfectly Correct. A shopkeeper had stuck up a notice in glaring colors and very large let- ters: Selling Off! Must Close on Sat- urday!” On Friday he was asked by a friend: “What!

Nothing the Democrats Have Done or Can do Seems to Suit Them. Issues and Candidates are Dis- cussed and Statement is Made That Victory is an Assured Fact. Hon. A. E. Holton and Col. R. Z. Linney delivered republican speeches last night at the county court house to a fair sized audi- ence. A few ladies were present. Mr. Holton was introduced by Mr. R. V. Tharpe, secretary of the Republican county committee, who when he had concluded introduced Col. Linney. Mr. Holton spoke about an hour and a half and Col- onel Linney about half an hour. In the first part of his speech Mr. Holton eulogized the Republi- ean candidates for president and governor, and argued that their election would bring prosperity to the people. He said that Mr. Kitchin, democratie candidate for governor, had drawnin the last few years some $75,000 from the national government as salary as congressman, and yet when he spoke in Charlotte during his cam- paign for the nomination, he ap- pealed to the Democrats to nowi- nate him because he had a motr- gage on his home. Mr. Cox, his Republican opponent has been at work all his life developing the re- sourees of the state, and employ- ing men at good wages. He now has on his pay roll 1000 men, 90 per cent of whom are better off than Mr. Kitchen because they own their homes without mort- gages. Mr. Holtom: then discussed some planks in the Republican state platform, which he said the Demo- eratie party declared Senator Sim- mons was ridling. The declara- tion in favor of free text books, exemption of $200 worth of per- sonal property from taxation, and that relatin;s to labor were dis eussed in detail. The speaker claimed that Sena- tor Simmons and the Democratic leaders were against these planks beeause they still catered to caste prejudice whieh for so many years here has refused to recognize the ‘dignity of labor. In Republican ‘states, a great: variety of laws have been enacted for the benefit of la- bor, in Democratic states very few. It took him a week to read the la- bor laws of Pennsylvania and only an hour in North Carolina. He quoted statistics to show that in the Republican states labor was far better paid and protected than in Democratic states, the more solid the Democratic state showing | always the least regard for those -who labor. Only one law for the benefit of labor had been enacted jn recent years, and that was the fellow servant act which the Dem- oerats had never dared to repeal. He argued for a protective tariff, and claimed the Republicans in the nation favored protecting the la- borers from foreign immigration. The last legislature appropriated $50,000 to spend in securing immi grants for this state, and, he be- lieved it a violation of United States law. The Attorney General of the United States ruled that the states eould not engage in the business of importing foreigners to this country, and so put a stop to the matter. Col. Linney made sport of Mr. Brothers In the Posse __—-_ FLED TO THE MOUNTAINS.

He said that in 1556 the Democrats declared for free trade, and four years later the Republi- eans enacted a high tariff Taw which has been ealled robbery and yet they were able to carry the war to a suecessful conelusion. He said he had been campaigning in the east and there was a great awakening, and the Republicans vould gain many votes. He said that the Cleveland demoeratie ad- aninistration had destroyed the prosperity of the country, a\l MeKinley proposed to restore it by a policy of protection that would open the mills; Bryan said lets eoin all the silver in the world and get prosperity this way. Col. Linney is an able and pic- turesque speaker. —_—_+<+ > _ Heavy, impure blood makes a muddy, pimply complexion, head- aches, nausea, indigestion. ‘Thin blood makes you weak, pale, sickly.

She will soon be with us, that dainty, charming, lovable girl, “The Girl From Missouri?’ It is a four-act drama dealing with a tamily of Missourians who go ‘urther west and start a new life The girl meets an outlaw, and, contrary to tradition and the se- vere training of her father, the sheriff, loses her heart to him, and declares: ‘‘He igs the first man I ever saw that I could love.’’ Plays have treated of sim- ilar themes, but ‘‘The Girl from Missouri’’ is unlike all others. The author, Granville F. Sturgis, isa master of sarcasm, and the lines bristle with wit and sly thrusts, which keep the audience in a constant roar. The plot is so surprisingly un- unravelled that none can guess with certainty its final outcome until the curtain falls on the last act. Altogether it’s one of the most pleasing and satisfying plays on the road today. This splendid play comes to the opera house on November 9th. ———~+@ > —___. Remains Were Taken to Charlotte.

That big live stock concern, the Henkel Live Stock company, have gone into a new branch of the horse business. They propose in the future to go into the breeding of genuine Shetland ponies and like all their undertakings this will be on an extensive scale. The firm recently received a large consignment of these little pets. They came direct from the Shetland islands and are now at their big farm, about a mile from the city where they are attracting a heap of attention. They are all colors but univer- sally small. They are the gen- uine article, as is evident by their gentle disposition, one of the most prominent characteristics of the species. There are in the herd some ex- ceedingly valuable mares, some of them with foal, and at least one handsome stallion that it is pretty safe to say would probably bring about his weight in silver. Some of the little animals have pedigrees that are so long they would easily encircle their bodies. —_—_—_——_2<+@>-e—__—_ To Consolidate Organs.

HSIDE A SUBMARINE You Are Greeted by a Deafening, Ear Splitting Racket. WORSE THAN A BOILER SHOP. To Make Yourself Heard at All You Must Shout Into the Ear of a Com- panion—The Economy of Space and the Simplicity of Arrangements. Clinbing down ten rungs of an fron ladder into the interior. of a sub- marine is like going into a boiler shop where there is one continuous, deafen- ing, ear splitting racket like a dozen trip hammers chattering a tattoo amid a grind and rumble and thump of ma- chinery as if especially designed to burst your eardrums. At first the noise in that narrowly confined space is painful and bewilder- ing. To make yourself at all heard you must shout into the ear of a com- panion. So intense is the strain, says a writer in St. Nicholas, that you mar- vel how day in and day out human ears can withstand the ordeal. You find yourself inside what seems an enormous steel cigar painted a neat pearl gray, a color which is serviceable and does not dazzle the eye. Light comes to you partly through portholes and in part from incandescent lamps placed fore and aft in the darker parts of the hull. You have expected, of course, to land in a tangle of whirling machinery that fills the inside of the boat from stem to stern, threatening with every revolution to take an arm or a leg off. Instead the first thing you see is an uninterrupted “working space,” or deck, measuring 7 by 25 or 30 feet. At the stern, far in the background, are the machines and engines. In fact, this section of the vessel is nothing but machinery, a rumbling mass of silvery steel and glittering brass revolving at the rate of 500 times a minute, so com- pact that you wonder how the various parts can turn without conflicting or how it is possible for human hands to squeeze through the maze to oil the machinery. ; But this economy of space is as noth- ing to what you will see. The floor you stand on is a cover for the cells of the storage batteries wherein is pent up the electricity with which your boat will propel herself when she runs sub- merged. The walls amidships and the space in the bow are gigantic ballast tanks to be filled with water that will these are tool boxes and hinged bunks for the crew to sleep in. The four torpedoes, measuring six- teen feet three inches long, eighteen inches in diameter and weighing 1.500 pounds each, are lasbed end for end in pairs at either side, and directly over these are tool boxes and hinged bunks for the crew to sleep in. The very air which is taken along to keep life in you in case the boat should be detained beneath the surface longer than usual is compressed in a steel] cyl- inder 2;000 pounds per square inch, a pressure so intense that were the cyl- inder to spring a leak no larger than a pin hcle and were the tiny stream of escaping air to strike a human being it would penetrate him through and through and drill a hole through an inch thick board behind him. And yet everything about the inte- rior arrangements of this boat is so sim- ple that you can see at a glance its purpose. Away forward, where the tip of the cigar comes to a point, are the two torpedo tubes out of which the gunner will send his deadly pro- jectiles seething beneath the waters at the rate of 35 knots an hour against an unsuspecting hull. Directly under the conning tower is a platform, three feet square and ele- vated three feet from the deck, upon which the captain stands, head and shoulders extending into the tower, so that while at his post he is visible to the crew only from the waist line down, and at the feet of the captain and on a level with his platform is st@@ned another of the officers, in charge of the wheel that controls the diving rudders and the gauges that register the angle of ascent and de- cline and show how deep the boat is down. The two officers are in personal com- munication, so that In case of heart disease or other mishap either can jump to the other man’s place. Time to Wake. Judge Wheaton A. Gray was once harangue by the prosecuting counsel on a warm day at the end of a long harangue by the prosecuting counsel he noticed one of the jurymen asleep. As soon as the argument was complet- ed the judge addressed the jury in this peculiar manner: “Gentlemen of the jury, the prosecuting attorney has com- pleted his argument.

One Was Enough. “Dad,” said the white faced lad, “how many cigars does it take to hurt a boy?” “How many have you smoked?” “One.” “That’s the number,” said dad, and, taking down the strap from bebind the door, he soon convinced the boy that he was right.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Having received information from the physicians in charge, that there are several cases of scarlet fever in and around the city of Statesville, as superintendent of health for the county I desire to eall attention to the necessity of strict obedience to the quarantine laws of the state. Under the law of the state every physician having in charge any contagious’ disease must report it at once and see that the patient and all exposed persons are pro- perly quarantined. Any physician who neglects his duty in this behalf is made guilty of a misdemeanor. The law further provides that no person quarantined or person residing in a quarantined house, if the house is quarantined, shall eo beyond the lot or come in con- tact with any one from outside. Any person violating this law is made guilty of a misdemeanor. The enforcement of the law is absolutely necessary to prevent the spread of the disease, and all persons are urged to aid in its en- orcement, for in this way only can the safety of the public be secured.

Deputy Sheriff James Ward Makes 2 StatemeDt as to The Law in Regard to Hunting on Private Property and Says That it Will be Enforced—Verbal Consent Will Not Do. Deputy Sheriff James Ward an- nounced this morning that, so far as was in his power, the law rela- tive to hunting on the private property of another would be strictly enforced. Mr Ward said that he desired that the greatest amount of pub- lieity possible be given to this statement, as he was anxious that all persons hav: proper notice of what might be expected in case there is any violation of the law. The law is very plan on the sub- ject. It simply says that any person shall have the written consent of the owner before he may hint on his property. To do so without this written consent is a violation of the law and action may be commenced against guilty parties at once on warrants charging unlawful tress- pass. . In recent years there has been much complaint from farmers and others regarding hunters who -have done more or less damage on their property and but little at- tention has been paid to anything like a strict enforcement of the law. When Mr. Ward made the state- Train Killed Ud | Woman THE HEIRS ASK FOR $25,000. Interesting Railroad Damage Suit Now on Trial in the Fed- eral Court—Defence Claims That Victim of Fatal Accident Contributed to it by Her Own Negligence—Many Witneses to be Heard. In the Federal court this morn- ing the case of J. C. Fry, adminis- trator, of the estate of Emeline Fry, against the Southern ,rail- road was taken up. The case is the most important one to be heard at this term of the court, as $25,000 damages are asked for. Attorney L. C. Caldwell of this city represents the defendant railroad and Messrs. Self & Whit- ner of Hickory appear for the plaintiff. The suit is the result of the death of Emeline Fry, an aged lady and mother of J. C. Fry who brings suit. : On April 7, 1906, the deceased was knocked down by a locomo- tive near the Ivy cotton mill at Hickory and killed. She had come down some steps near the track and started to cross the track when she was struck by the locomotive. The locomotive was runing backwards at the time and was pulling a load of cars that were coupled on to the front of the en- gine. The defence will claim that the plaintiff is not entitled to recover damages, as the deceased contri ment as above noted there was afbuted to her death by her own determined look on his face and that charateristic twinkle in his eye, seemd to say ‘‘I mean bus- iness.”’ It should be stated here that a verbal consent to hunt on a ner son’s property does not cover the law and will avail nothing as evi- dence for the defendant in a court of law. The statue on the sub- ject plainly states that it must be written and no other kind of per- mission is legal. +--+ Operetta is Postponed. The operetta, ‘‘The Enchanted Wood,’’ which was to have been given at the opera house tonight for the benefit of the Billingsley hospital has been postponed. This was made necessary be- cause of the threatened bad weather. In the first place it is next to impossible to hear anything in the opera house when it rains. This is because of the tin roof. In addition to this something like 60 children are to take part inithe production. Some of them are very young and_it would not be wise to subject them to the bad weather. A large number of people who had anticipated a most pleasant two hours enjoyment tonight will doubtless be greatly disappointed but Miss Martha Moore who to- gether with Miss Angie Mullaly are responsible for the productioa said this afternoon that as soon a- the weather becomes more settled a date will be chosen and the ‘‘play’’ given with al lits details of eatechy music and handsome eostumes. Due. announcement of the date will be made. ———~++@>-e—___——_ Miss Elsie Queen has returned to her work as nurse at Dr Long’s sanatorium after a visit at her home in Vashti. negligence. It will be shown in evidence, it is said, that the old lady had her head wrapped up in a bonnet and could not hear the train and that she did not use pro- per precaution by looking to see if the track was clear before she started to cross. : The first witness to be heard was J. C. Fry, son of the deceased, who brings the suit There are a large number of witnesses to be heard, over a dozen for the defence alone and it will probably require the rest of the day to hear the evidence. The suit was originally brought in the superior court of Catawba county and was transfererd to the Federal court by request of the de- fendant, on the ground that fhe parties to the suit were not both residents of the state and that the amount of damages took it out of the jurisdiction of that court. In the ease of W. N. Horne trus- tee of W.F. James, vs. G. H. Graham, an account of which was given in The Mescot of yesterday, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for $794.50. —_——_++@>>—_ The Kennedy School. Prof. J. R.

SENATOR LONG SPEAKS. Addresse a Large and Enthusiast- ic Audience at Mt. Mourne Last Night—He Laid Bare the Sins of the Republicans and Riddled Their Prosperity Argument, Senator Zeb V. Long filled bis appointment at Mt. Mourne last night. A splendid crowd of voters of the surroundivg community and village, together with many of the fair women and children ereeted bim. The speaking did not commence until after the meeting so all <he erowd could attend. Mr. Loug was in fine trim, ina most earnest and powerful man- ner he laid bare the sins of republicanism and eloquently de- picted the beauties of democra- cy. He riddled the Republican prosperity argument and heap- ed merciless retribution upen the heads of Republican politicians who have so long tried to de- ceive the people with this fraud. He tore into threads the mis erable pretence of the Republi- eaps on the labor question, showing their deep laid schemes to rob labor, as he said, of the bread which it had earned while masquearading as its friend, and showing that the great Demo- cratic party was the laborers’ real friend and through its pol icies and principles alone was labor to secure its rights at the hands of the law making pow- ers. His speech was an honest pre- sentation of the issues and gave, great strength tc tne cause.

Louisville, Ky., Oct’ 21—Pass- ing in review before thousands of people along the line of march followed by a parade of many hundreds of marchers, and speaking to more people than the sound of his voice could reach, Wiliam J Bryan madea brief sally south of the Ohio river last night. OThe rally in Louisville was, for Mr. Bryan, the culmination of One of the pusiest days of the campaign, and the outpouring bere equaled and possibly sur- passed anything in the way ofa demonstration the candidate has met with since he was advised of his nomination. From the time he left New Al- bany, Ind., just across the Ohio river until he spoke his final word of farewell, Mr. Bryar was the recipient of continuous ap- plause. Arriving in Louisville with the reception committee, in two special trolley cars, Mr. Bryan passed through an un- broken line of people from the river’s edge until he reached “hoenix Hill Park, at the opposite jend of the city. As the cars bearing the party reached the heart of town, they took the lead of procession more than a mile long, which was waiting to begin its march to Phoenix Hill. The erush along the line of march in the down- town shopping quarter was so great that police reserves were un- able to manage it. Women and children were en- dangered at a number of congest- ed points and many minor acci- dents occurred as the result of crowding. ——— COTTON MARKET. Local Market.

FIREMAN’S RELIEF FUND. City Clerk Eugene Morrison Has Received Blanks Which Must be Filled out Showing That Building Laws Have Been Com- plied With—Last Year Local Firemen Received $102.90. City Clerk Eugene Morison has received blanks from Insurance Commissioner Young which must be filled out and forwarded to that official’s office in Raleigh before the firemen of Statesville can share in the annual apportionment of the state relief fund. Under the law by which a tax is levied on the. premiums in each city and town for the benefit of the firemen of that city or town, there are two conditions that must be complied with. These are set forth in the blanks received by the city clerk. In the first place each city or town that desires the benefit of the tax for their firemen must comply with the building laws of the state and show to the satis- faction of the Insurance Commis- sioner that these laws are being properly enforeed by the author- ities, Another condition is that the clerk of the city or town must file with the commissioner on or be- fore the 31st day of October of each year a statement of the value of the property used for fire pro- tection in the city, as well as other information called for by the in- surance department. Unless this is done no funds can be eollected. x Last year the amount received from this source and turned over to the relief fund of the States- ville firemen was $102.90. Mr. Cline Returns. Mr. R.

Goldman Was Arrested Yes- day at the Charlotte Fair Groutds ‘Charged With Gamb- ling—Gives $50 Bond and De- parts—His Game was Crooked. a Charlotte, N. C., October 22. H. J. Goldman, a fair follower, who was operating a wheel on the mid-way was arrested yester- day morning on the charge of gambling, and his machine was taken from him. Goldman put up a $50 bond for his apperance apd departed. The machine which Goldman operated was one of those black boards affairs, with pins stuck around the edges. A wooden rod with a small peice of card board just touching the edges of the pins, was turned, each pin having some prize attached. On an investigation it was found that in the edge of the board there wasa spring that worked under the pivot, making it possible for the operator to keep the indicator from stopping on the valuable prizes. This has been the only arrest made since the fair began. ——~++er--—__ Local News Notes. The monkey and the hand or- gan man hit the town yesterday.

On our state ticket you will see the names of Dr, B. F. Dixon for state audi- tor, and Mr. W. A. Graham for commissioner of agriculture both gallant Confederates, and true and tried friends of the brave men of the sixties. **You will not find the name of a single Confederate on the re- ) publican state ticket. “‘The same republican party that now says it favors doubling pensions voted against the pen- sion bill to a man in 1885. They did, however, whtn in powe:. elect Abe Middleton, a black ne- gro, assistant docr-keeper over Henry Reitzel, a brave, one- legged Confederate. They did refuse to adjourn the legislature in honor of Robert E. Lee, and then adjourned in honor of Fred Douglass, a free negro, who mar- ried a white woman in Washing- ton City. “‘The Democratic party has from year to year increased the roll of our worthy pensioners to 15,000; likewise the appropria- tion, until it now reaches $400,- 000 a year, besides establishing and maintaing the Soldiers’ Home. ‘‘This is a democratic year.

Burdock Blood Bitters 2ured me.’’—J. TI. Walker, Sun- bury, Chio. ~~ —__—.. The Mighty Power of Mi-o-na. Mi-o-na, that extraordinary and perfect stomach tenie, will re- eve dyspepsia in twenty-four hours. It will eure, and is guarantezd by the Statesville Drug Company to the readers of The Mascot to eure the most pitiful cases of dys- pepsia, if taken according to di- rections. Mi-o-na tablets not only cure dyspesia, but all stomach disturb- ances, such as vomiting of preg- nancy, or car and the stomach sickness after excessive indulgence. Mi-o-na cures by strengthening and invigorating the flabby stom- ach walls, and after a course of Mi-o-na treatment, constipation, if there is any, will entirely disap- pear. Read this from the president of a New York corporation: ““T have beg. a terrible sufferer from dyspepsia and gastritie for two years. The most eminent physicians prescribed for me with no effect. I have been absolutely eured by your Mi-o-na tablets. The first one gave me relief al- most ineredible.’’-—Herbert H. Taylor, 501 West 243 street,-New York City. Mi-o-na is a most economical treatment—a large box of tablets only costs 50 cents at the States- ville Drug Company and the dys- peptic, nervous or otherwise, who sickness, ] does not give them a trial, is los- ing an opportunity health. ——_—++ 2 Change in Schedule.

While cruising in the south seas the whaler Essex on Nov. 20, 1820. was furiously attacked by a cow sperm whale, supposed to have been the mother of a calf which had just been harpooned. The whale had not been wounded herself, and her attack was very determined. At her first rush she passed under the Essex and carried away a great length of her false keel. Then, coming to the surface a consider- able distance away, she appeared to take bearings and deliberately charged the vessel again, ramming her with such violence that she stove in the bows, while the ship rolled so heavily that the captain thought she must be dismasted. The case is memorable because the crew had to abandon the vessel, and one boat was never heard of again. A more. singular instance of a whale attacking a vessel occurred in 1895. The singularity lies in the fact that in the case of the Handa Isle the attack was entirely unpro- voked. This vessel, a brigantine of 260 tons, was on her way to Sydney with a cargo of timber. On Aug. 24, about noon, a couple of sperm whales arose very close to the ves- sel, and while the crew watched them “sporting” across her bows the pair suddenly slewed around and came straight for her. One thought better of it and dived below the Handa Isle. The other struck her fair and square on her beam, crush- ing in her timbers. Having rammed the ship in this resolute fashion, the whale sheered off, terribly damaged about the head, and presently sank, tail first. Fortunately there were some packages of rawhides on board, and the crew were able to keep the ves- sel afloat until a rough and ready collision mat had been fashioned out of these and drawn over the leak.—Bailey’s Magazine. Too Saving. Professor Charles Zueblin, the brilliant and original sociologist of the University of Chicago, enunci- ated before the League of Political Education in New York a superb epigram: re “He who begins with saving to protect his family may end with neglecting his family to save.” Discussing the dangers of immod- erate saving, he said: “It’s by saving immoderately that we come to inserting want adver- tisements like one I saw recently: ‘Wanted, capable office boy. Sal- ary, $1 a week.’ “A young man of Seminary ave- nue, noticing this advertisement, couldn’t resist replying to it. His reply ran: “T beg to offer you my services. Should you require a premium I could furnish $500. ou do. not mention Sundays. Should I have to work on that day? Neither do you state whether the applicant must be clothed or not, but I have con- cluded that he must at least wear trousers or he would be unable to carry home his wages.’ ”—Washing- ton Star. Poison Rings. The origin of the pretty custom of placing the wedding ring upon the -finger of the bride seems to have sprung from the. Egyptians, who presented the bridal ring as a token of intrusting the wife with all the husband’s property. The custom was adopted by the early Christians, and thus it has reached us in the present day, when the ring is placed upon the bride’s finger with the words, “With all my world- ly goods I thee endow.” Rings, however, have had other associations besides those of mar- rying and giving in marriage. Some Roman rings were hollow and filled with poison, obviously for the pur- pose of suicide, a crime then con- sidered a virtue. A modern ‘in- stance of this carrying death upon the finger is that of Condorcet, who when arrested by the notorious con- vention tore the jewel from his ring and drank the poison which lay in the hollow. A Matter of Color. Wanderer (returned after several years)—Well, well, I’m mighty glad to = zon. How are you, and how are e good le? Sa ee all right and getting along as well as could be expected. Wanderer—And how is the Wid- ow Green? Stayathome—She isn’t so Green as she was. ee the matter? 2 isn’t , L hope? Stayatioees No Pohe’s Brown. Wanderer—Brown ? Stayathome—Yes; married Sam- uel J. about five years ago, and she’s been the Widow Brown for the last two years. Wanderer—You don’t say? Stayathome—¥es. _Wanderer—Well, by gosh, if she’s willing to change’ color again, I'll ask ker as sure as my name’s Black. Another Singing. Mr. E. O. Shaver has perfected arrangements for another Iredell County Singing. It will be held in the court house on or about the third Thurs- day in November. It was the original intention of Mr. Shaver to held it durmg the second week in November but the superior eourt will be in session at that time and the court room would not be available. The change from Saturday to Thursday was made at the request of the business men who desire to attend these events but are unable to do so ona Saturday, their busiest day of the week. —- —_++@r o_—__ Will Move From Marion Jan. 1.

C., was recently as- saulted by a negro brute and left in the woods in an unconscious condition. ‘““When she came to herself”’ says the Spartanburg Herald, in relating the horrible incident ‘‘she crawled back to the road and saw Wilson Harry, the old colored man who works for Mr. Law. In an instant he saw her condition, and was off to the store of Mr. S. G. Porter, a short distance away, where the alarm was given.’’ One negro commits the crime and another comes to the rescue which leads us to remark that there are negroes and negroes. Some are good and some are very bad. The Southern people draw dis- tinetions and rate each individual )megro according to his merits or demerits, The northern people are dispos- ed to treat the negro as a race and to punish the whole tribe for the sing of a few. The South discriminates be- tween the good and the bad negro. ““All coons look alike’’ to the north.”’ ———— 7-4 1 Carlson at Mooresville.

He did a good job for the bank and the floors were well laid. He also put down walks for Mr. C. P. MeNeely and Dr. S. Frontis which adds much to the appearance in front of their residences. He left Tuesday afternoon for Davidson where he has a big contract to lay sidewalks. ”’ Mr. Carlson is a resident of this city and conducts his contracting from his headquarters here. —_~++<@>-e—____ Married in Mooresville.

SIMMONS A Barbecue Follows it-- Attentively. Threatening clouds hung over Iredell County this morning, and, following the showers of yester- day and the downpour of last night they bad the effect of keep- ing thousands of people away from the city and from partici- ipating in the Simmons parade. Big delegations that had ar- ranged to come from the neigh- boring townships by horseback concluded that the roads were in too bad a condition and the weather too threatening to at- tempt the trip and abandoned it. The Taylorsville band whicb had been engaged for the occas- ion was evidently of the same opinion and at any rate it failed to put in an appearance. Nevertheless, a big crowd was on hand aud the parade was a success, It was a mile in length and several hundred people par- ticipated in it. The column formed near the the Lutheran church at 11 principal streets of the city. It then returned to the court house and after it had been received by Senator Simmons disbanded. At ‘the head of the column rode Chief Marshall R. V. Braw- ley accompanied py Sheriff W.A. Summers and Mr. L. B Bristol.

They attracted a great of at- tention and were greeted with an ovation all along the line of march. Next came the menon on horse back several hundred of them. One of them carried a badly battered tin bucket, empty and rusty as well, anda big banner on which were the words “The ‘Rebublican Full Dinner Pail.” Mr. Simmons’ Speech. Senator Simmons was entro- duced by Attorny R. B. Me- Laughlin, After the usual complimentory remarks regarding the city and its people Mr. Simmons remark- ed that it had been several years since he had secn ‘“‘a solid mile white supremacy such as he had just witnessed. The Senator then proceeded with his address in which men and measures, parties and plat- forms issuscs Stae and national, were discussed in @ comprehen- sive manmer. He spoke for about two hours and those in the court room which wastpacked gave the speaker the closest attention. Steele, D. J. Craig, C. Vance Hen kel, J. A. Bradford, Isidore Wai- lace, R. L.

His remark~in part were as asfollows: The Parties in Contrast. “Tn 1898 and 1900 the issue be- tween the two parties in this state was white supremacy and the con- stitutional amendment. The Democrats, denying the fitness of the negro to vote, stood for white supremacy. The Republicans, af- firming the fitness of the negro, stood for the black people in the contest. In the last platform of the Republicans we do not find a word about these things. The two questions which wrought great conflict in the state in those years are silenced now. What does it mean? Is it a silent ad- mission that we were right and they were wrong? I don’t want Statesville No. 1—C. 8. Tomlin. Statesville No. 2—G. E. French. Statesville No. 3—L B. Bristol. Statesville No. 4—H. P. Grier. Turnersburg—R. F. Gaither. Union Grove—J. W. Van Hoy. A good many of these were ab- sent but a sufficient number were present to make a most excellent showing. Next came an immense float on which were seated the young la- dies composing the corps of as- sistants to the general commit- tee. They were dressed in white and wore sashes of red, white and blue and in addition to look- ing very pretty were of great as- sistance to the ladies who had charge of the barbecue. ‘being very fine animals. } Among those on the float were to inject the negro question into | this eampaign and I believe the Republicans themselves would like to unload him when they endorse a candidate for the presidency who favors the reduction of our representation in congress and an annulment of our amendment? There is but one way to take away the negro question and that is by electing a Democratic president and a Democratic congress. This will not only put away the agita- tion of the negro question, but will forever clinch our constitu- tional amendment and will take the black man forever out of pol- ties. Issues of 1892. “The issues of 1892 were on taxation and the expenditure of _ t the public money. We pointed to our record of government and that was all that was needed to justify our course. They pointed to their records and there was in- fanmy and shame, for they saw the disgrace which came under their administration along these lines. There is not a word in the last platform charging dishonesty on our part. There is nothing about our record or theirs, no word pointing with pride to any record they ever made, or any wrongs by the Democrats. They are not only ashamed, but are of their records. “In 1894-96 the issue was tem- perance, and the Republicans played politics with this great moral question. For one time in my life I want to congrauulate the Republican party and it is be-. cause of a change in heart. I: want to congratulate the people of | the entire State that this question has been removed from the pale of politics and if any man drags that high, moral issue into the’ slime and mud of polities this year { he does it in violation of the pledges of his party. A Promising Platform. ‘This year the Republicans were out of an issue and they fill- ed their platform with promises, and J know of nothing more worthless than. a Republican promise. Some of the promises are of things which ought not to be done; others are of things which they had two chances to ac- this State one-sixth of the money we collect to the old soldiers. And he will vote the Democratic ticket in North Carolina because he is neither a scalawag nor a traitor. Mr, Cox and Railroads. ‘*The Republicans seem to at- tack us for our position in rate legislation. In one part of their platform they seem to charge us with favoriteism to the railroads and in another part they charge that we made war against them. They seem to be with the rail- roads a little and with the people a little; with the people a little and against the people a little: with everybody a little and against everybody a little. The man who drafted that plank in the Republican platform certainly landed on both sides of ithe ques tion. I believe the people are sat- isfied with the adjustment of pas- senger rates, but there is still a sharp conflict upon freight dis- crimination. The remedy for this injustice lies in the Federal gov- ernment. I don’t want to charge the Republicans with belonging to the railroads, but I want to say that for the last 40 years, since I have been observing polities, the Republican party while in the mi- nority, was an _ asset of the rail- roads, and was feared by them only when in the majority, and this was because the Republicans were a menace to the interests of every legitimate concern. “I don’t want to do anybody an injustice, but I want to say complish and failed, and others are of things which the Democrats are already doing. They want t, extend the public school system- but everybody except themselves as we are justifiable in attempt- ing. They are going about such an extension by putting out of office an admittedly capable and efficient head of the educational department and electing a man who is not only unknown in the State, but even in his own town. ‘‘They promise to do more for our charitable institutions, but we can not forget their record on this important issue. We ean chisel the name of the negro director from the deaf and dumb school at Raleigh, but we cannot forget the infamy and shame and crime which they brought about during the administrations. An Attempt at Bribery. ‘In promising to exempt $200 of property from taxation, the Re- publicang engage in nothing more than an attempt at bribery. They want to buy votes and pay for them with the people’s money, the money that belongs to our schools and charitable institu- tions. The Republican party has a record for buying votes by leg- islation, If this proposition of the Re- publicans to exemtp a portion of the population from taxation were to become a law not one negro out of fifty will pay a cent of tax and the whole burden of taxation will fall upon the white people. On Question of Pensions. ‘‘The Republicans propose to double the pensions of the old sol- diers. How ean you explain such a proposition coming from a party that never regarded the Confed- erate soldier worthy of a cent of the State’s money; that regarded him a man more worthy of stripes and the gallows than of help; that regarded those who followed Grant and Sherman more patri- otic than the brave men who fol- lowed Lee and Jackson. This proposition was made not in hon- ors but in dishonor and it is an imputation upon the character and integrity and honor of the grand old Confederate soldier that I resent. We are giving in that if Mr. Cox, the nominee of ‘oublicans for governor, is ‘he railroads in the mat- to ti Mit rates and against ,4e, then his sworn testi- think we are doing about as much theretore a committee from along this line as we ought and, ,2@8s is very much in conflict with his private opinion. As to Immigration. ‘“The Republicans say they fa- vor rigid immigration laws. Who is responsible for the undesirable class of foreigners which has been coming to this country, but the Federal government? It is the only power that can keep them out and for twelve years it has had control of this business. If our shores have been thrown wide open, the Republicans did it. I tried to close them two years ago, but the Republicans voted me down. Last year 1,026,000 for- eigners came to this country and 65 per cent of them belonged to the cheap, pauper, undesirable class. That’s the way the Federal government protects Amrican la- | bor. What has the Republican party done this way along other lines for native labor? Mr. Gom- pers, the head of organized labor forces, took his demands with him to the Chicago convention and they were turned down en- tirely by the Republicans. He orought them then to the com- mittee on resolutions of which I was a member, and they were all incorporated in the Democratic platform. Charge Panic to Democrats. “The Republicans charge the panic to Glenn and his Deomcratie legislature. If the Democrats of this State cut off improvements and cut railroad securities in half, who did it in New York, Illinois and Pennsylvania? We have had four panies in the past forty years and every one of them had their incipiency when a Republi- ean was in the White House and a high protective tariff law was on the books. Whose panic is this, anyway? The two elements in the national Republican party. charge it to each other. Mr. Roosevelt says it was because of the influence of the predatory rich, and the predatory rich say it was Mr. Roosevelt. The reac- tionary element in the party say (Continued on 4th Page.)

New York, Oct. 22.—In an open letter to Senator Knox Mr. Roose- velt asked Mr. Bryan to declare whether he believes in legalizing the blacklist and the secondary boycott, as Mr. Gompers asserts, er whether the president of the American Federation of Labor was mistaken as to just what the injunction plank of the democratic national convention pledged the party and its candidate. Mr. Bryan devoted the day to labor in Ohio. The crowds that greeted him in the industrial towns along the Mahoning and Ohio rivers were so great that he declared he had witnessed noth- ing like it before. Women faint- ed and the candidate’s voice was lost in the roar. He characteriz- RICHARD N. HACKETT. COUNTY.

That mass meeting in Carne- gie Hall, New York, which was held the other day under the auspices of the Business Men’s National Bryan and Kern com- mittee, must be reckoned as a sigficant incident in the cam- paign. Three members of President Cleveland’s second cabinet. were speakers at this gathering, and men who opposed Mr. Bryan in 1906 praised his name in the same breath with the names of Grover Cleveland and Samuel J. Tilden, There are six men living who were members of Mr. Cleveland’s cabinet. Gov. Hoke Smith of Georgia, who was secretary of theinterior, has taken the stump for Mr. Bryan. At this memor- able meeting in Caruegie hall in New York, Judson Harmon, who was attorney general; Hilary A. Herbert, who was secretary of the navy, and David :R.

He can- celled his remaining up-state dates and left for his home. Candidate Bryan began his West Virginia tour, starting in this morning at Parkersburg.

I don’t know where it came from, but I know it 1s Republican.”’ The speaker then discused the relation of speculation by bankers to the panic and showed how the Demoeratie party offered to make it impossible ‘to occur again. which, he said, was by retaining governmental control of money and by guaranteeing bank de posits according to Bryan’s scheme. A Rap at the Trusts. anics are bad things, but trusts are worse than the worst panic. The Republicans have brought four panics but they have brought a vast army of trusts. These monopolies result from a partnership between the Repub- lican party and the predatory rich. [ can go before any judge and jury in this broad land and con- viet them of highway robbery upon the facts I have at hand. Now a moderate tariff never makes a trust, but a prohibitory tariff always makes a trust. Senator Simmons here illustra- ted the extortion of trusts by re- ferring to the monopoly on wood pulp and how the newspaper men, Democratic and Republican, were made to suffer, telling how the Republicans in Congress rallied to the aid of the combination of editors asked that the tariff be re- moved. “Tf taking the tariff off print paper will remove the paper trust, why won’t removing the tariff off oil, take away the oil trust and so on? The Democratic party wants the tariff laws revised downward. The Republicans say they want it revised, too, but they don’t say how. We are allowed to guess when they have as Speaker of the House, Joe Cannon, and have nom- inated for the Vice Presidency a man who is the rankest high protectionist in the country, and, mind you, the Vice President pre- sides over the Senate. This would put over both branches of Con- eress the two highest protection- ists in America today. That shows which way they want the tariff revised. An Imperial Government. ‘“‘But no matter how important all these other matters are to us, there is another of greater import- ance than any and probably than all of them combined, atd tat is the imperialistic tendency of this government. It is surprising to me what shown by the American people over the advance under Mr. Roose- velt of the idea of a eoucentra tion of power in a Federal head. Formerly the Senate initiated and formulated measures; now they are sent from the White House. Formerly it was the peo- ple’s government; now it is be- ing spoken of ‘my government,’ the President’s government. For- merly it was the people’s army, and the people’s fleet; now it is said ‘my army’ and ‘my fleet.’ Formerly it was the people’s poli- cies ; now it is ‘my policies.” What right has the President of the United States to any policies ex- cept of the people? To carry on this centralization of power, Mr. Taft says that he intends to carry out Rooseveltian policies, many of them having been repdiated by the Republicans. The Barbecue. Following the speaking the big barbeeue was served in the Plan- ter’s warehouse. Several long tables fairly groaned under the load of good things to eat. Some said that 2,500 people were fed. This seemed to be 2 rather conservative estimate as many said that over 2,000 people were there. Grace was said by Rev. J. R. Barrett. Each person was given a big ‘cp little alarm is being’ -_—-——. plate that contained beef, ham, bread, cake, pie, and pickles. “If he or She, there were many ladies present, emptied that another was waiting for the hungry person. The bell on the warehouse rang at 2:15 o’clock and five minutes later the multitude was being fed. The committee of ladies that had charge of the barbecue fea- ture of the day’s exercises was composed of the following: Mrs. Otis Deitz, Mrs. Orin Tur- ner, Mrs. L. C. Caldwell, Mrs. J. L.

One of the most inhuman crimes of the year, was discovered yester- day morning at about nine o’clock one mile East of Eufola, in what is known as Mud Cut. Mr. J. D. Christopher who lives near this locality, was starting to Eufola when to his horror, he found the eorpse of a little boy the railroad track, just in the end of the eut. He immediately secured a box and covered the body with it and notified Capt. P. C. Carlton, Coun- ty Coroner and Sherriff Stimmers at this city. Captain Carlton summoned a ju- ry, composed of the following named gentlemen: M. L. Moore, W. H. Norris, W. J. Morrison, J. L. Kimbald, W. B. Gant, and J. R. Alexander, and went te the scene of the find yes- terday afternoon Dr. M. R. Adams, the county physician accompanied them and made an autopsy. The decision of the jury was as follows: “Upon arriving at the place of the dead we found. in a bed of sand, at the east end of Mud Cut. @ newly born boy baby , dead; weighing seven pounds. **After a most careful search in the locality were unable to find any trace of the persons who com- mitted the deed, so we come to the conclusion that the child had been born on a passenger train some time between dark Saturday evening and nine o’clock yester- day morning. Parties passing the place where it was found, late Saturday afternoon, report that it was not there at that time.”’ Dr, Adams performed an autop- sy, and found no bruises on the body, but did find that the child had been alive when born, and that its lungs had been inflated several times in breathing. Its body had turned black from exposure to the sun and weather. Mrs. Ausley at Peace Congress. No other evidence could be found.

Kinston, Oct. 25—A young white man who gives his name as Dobbs Freeman and claims to have come here from Henderson- ville was arrested this morning charged with obtaining a check under false pretenses from the Central warehouse. He had in his possession when arrested about $112 of the $114.98. the amount called for on the face of the check, which he . had cashed at the First National Bank. Free.can submmited at the preliminary hearing before the mayor and was logded in jail to await trial at next term of Lenior Superior Court in de- ault of bond. It seems that Freeman has been looking about the town for several days, went to the Central warehouse this morning during sales and when a pile of tobacco belonging to Mr. A. W. Taylor had been sold, he went over to the cashi2r, and called for Mr. Taylor’s check.

All that is now necessary is for every Demo- eratic voter to do his duty, not only by voting himself, but by ex- erting hinrself to secure a full Democratic vote at his precinct. May I not ask each of you to do this? While I earnestly desire the election of the entire Demo- eratic ticket, National, State, Con- eressional Legislative and county, I especially ask you to see that the Congressional ticket, which is on a separate ballot, is not overlook- ed or neglected. Mr. Hackett has made us a splendid Representative in Con- gress, eloquent, a true Democrat, in thorough sympathy with the people, and deserves to be re-elect- ed by an increased majority. ‘It is only the votes which are cast that count.

Like a cloud, a great golden cloud, 2 glory impending that will not, cannot, be dissolved into the ether, he (Ram- eses) loomed over the Egypt that is dead; he looms over the Egypt 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, “Come back next year, my gentleman, and I shall be like Ram- eses the Great.” Or you ask of the boatman who rows you, “How 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 Hapt Thus can inordinate vanity prolong the true triumph of genius and im- press its own view of itself upon the minds of millions.

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 people. 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 are 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 cry, 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.

Mr. Harthess Makes Reply THE FELLOW SERVANT LAW. Iredell County Clerk of Court Disproves Claims of The Repub- licans That They were Respon- Sible For The Passage of The Statue—His Letter to a Char- lotte Man. ot Mr. J. A. Hartness, clerk of eourt of Iredell county, last week received a letter from a well known resident of Charlotte in which that gentleman said it had come to his knowledge that the Republicans were claiming credit for the fellow-servant law in this State. He also stated that he was very well aware that Mr. Hart- ness was & leader in obtaining the passage of the statuein ques-, tion and he requested the States- ville gentleman to give him the actual facts in the case. Mr. Hartness replied to the Charlotte man’s letter as follows: Statesville, N. C. Oct. 26, 1908 “Your letter to hand, enclos- ing a card being circulated by the Republicans in this state. claiming credit for the passage of the fellow-servant law. I send you a true history of the origin, introduction, and passage of the said act, and I think it would perhaps be well for you to pub- lish the same in the papers at Charlotte. if you think it of suf- ficient impurtance. The claim made by the Repub- licans that any one of their party orthat the Republican party, was responsible for the origin or passage of this act is false. Before I started to Raleigh to the meeting of the legislature, I discovered that there was a gen- eral feeling that the railroad em- ployees should have some legis- lation in their behalf on this question. I was a young lawyer and this was my first term. I consulted Hon. B. F. Long, Arm- field « Turner, then practicing attorneys at Statesville, as to the form of the bill. Mr. Long drew a tentative bill which I car- ried with me when I went to Ral- eigh. I discussed the matter with Judge Long, and looking into the matter fully, I discovered that only a few states had at that time passed a similar stat- ute. After going to Raleigh, I consulted several attorneys, amongst others Judge Sheperd, Judge Boykin and Hon C. B. Watson, With the information I thus obtained, I drafted and in- | - troduced the Fellow Servant Bill in the house Jan. 26, 1897, and it passed word for word asit was introduced. See house Journal p. 164 and 446. Afteri ts passage in the house, I caused it to be im- mediately sent to the senate where it was referred to the Jud- iciary Committee, Feb. 11 1897, (Senate Journal p. 273), and it was reported favorably from said committee Feb. 17, withont change or amendment (S. J. p. 347) and on Feb. 20, 1897, it passed it’s several readings and was ordered enrolled. (S. J. p. 427‘) By reference to the Journals you will see that the ayes and nayes were never called. The legislature of 1897, was the most servile tool of the rail- roads that ever assembled ip the state. The lease of the North Carolina railroad was at the time the burning question of the hour and the Republicans were too busy to take other troubles on Sad Sequel of Chicken Fight TWO MEN ARE ON TRIAL. Hafer Murder Trial at Taylors- ville is Attracting Much Atten- tion—Both Defendants Have Money aNd Best of Legal Tal- ent Has Been Employed by Them—Lawyer L. C. Caldwell of This City Appears for the Prosecution. 3 The preliminary trial of Frank Propst and Junius Bowman, charged with killing John Hafer, as detailed in The Mascot of yes- day was not concluded last night at Taylorsville but had to be con- tinued over until today. The trial is being heard before Messrs. John Pharr and M. Mathe- son, two magistrates. Owing to the fact that the par- ticipants in the affair are promi- nently connected and have plenty of money to fight the case,a num- It developed at the trial that -~ ber of the leading lawyers of this section of the state are engaged by the State and the defense. For the defendants are: Messrs. A. A. Whitener, of Hickory; R. Z. Linney and J. Hayden Burke, of Taylorsville, and W. C. Feimster, of Newton, and for the State So- licitor Frank S. Linney and Messrs L. C. Caldwell, of Statesville, and John Gwaltney, of Taylorsville. Bowman and Propst were ar- rested in Catawba and Sheriff Boyd, of that county, passed through Statesville with the men yesterday, taking them to Tay- lorsville. the afternoon of the cuttiig of Hafer there had been a chicken fight and that after this there was a general quarrel in which several took part. But later a quarrel arose be- tween Hafer and Propst; that Hafer was advancing on Propst and the latter appealed to the erowd not to allow Hafer to cut him; Hafer knocked Propst down and was on him and Junius Bow- man is alleged to have stepped up and eut Hafer. Hafer stated before he died that the man who pulled him off Propst was the man who cut him and witnesses testified that it was Bowman who pulled him off. The ease is a complicated one, the fight wager about the point as to who did the eutting. ——++@>e_—- Mr. R. R. Eagle has returned from a visit to Raleigh. their hands; the railroads ex- pressed themselves at the time as not caring if the bill passed. If they had given the word the bill would have been defeated. Open Republican opposition was thus silenced, and hen7e there was no debate, no division, no ayes and nays. Hon. B. R. Lacy labored faith- fully to assist me in the passage of the bill and did much towards it’s enactment into lay. I am amazed to hear that the Republicans are claiming credit for its passage and fooling the employees of the roads about it. What I say is not only confirm- ed by the Journals of the house, and my own personal knowledge but the facts can be confirmed by B. F. Long, Judge J. E.Shep- erd, C. B. Watson, B R. Lacy and several prominent railway engineers and conductors who consulted with Mr. Lacy and my- self, and others. Very truly yours, J. A. HARTNESS. omash Records BUSY SCENE AT WAREHOUSE Sixty-Four Wagons Bring About 50,000 Pounds of the Leaf To- bacco to Statesvile and it Was Soid at Auction This Morning. Buyers Were Here From Out ot ‘town and Prices Were Good. All records for tobacco sales for the past 10 or 12 years in this city were smashed to smithereens at the Planters Warehouse this mr ning. The entire flor of the big struc- ture was cmpletely covered and some of the piles were high ones. Sixty-four wagons brought the leaf to the city. The greater por- tion of it came from Yadkin and North Iredell. But there were several loads brought in from Alexander and Catawba. Unquestionably it was the big- gest break in years and it was largely due to a trip which Messrs. John and W. H. McElwee recent- ly made out through the tobacco belt ‘‘drumming up’’ business for the Planters Warehouse. There were 191 piles Of tobacco on the floor this morning. It was all sold and aggregated something like 50,000 pounds, Much of it was of an inferior quality but the price paid would probably average about eight and three quarters or nine cents per pound. Several who were present from other markets said that the prices paid here this morning were high- er than the same quality of leaf had been brining at Winston In- deed this was the general opinion. The highest price paid was 1914 cents and the lowest was 4 cents. Some ‘‘trash’’ that formerly sold for about a cent and a_ half brought the latter price and the farmer who brought it to the warehouse was in a happy frame frame of mind indeed when he re- eeived his cheek. He frankly stated that he did not expect to re- ceive so much. With many of those who brought tobacco here for this sale, it was an experiment and the re- sult must have been satisfactory, as of all the crowd there was but a single individual who was not pleased with his check. Of course there had to be some one to ‘‘make a kick’? and one fellow was heard to complain that ‘‘he didn’t get enough for his leaf.’’ The sale yesterday was a good one and there promises to be an- other big one tomorrow. These sales mean much to the merchants of Statesville and should be appreciated by the pub- le generally. It was conserva- tively estimated at noon today that of the large amount paid out at the warehouse, from $2,000 to $2.500 would be left in the city. One resident of Yadkin county accompanied by ‘his wife and three children called at The Mascot office this morning and the lady asked for a copy of the paper. **So I can see which of the stores is having sales”’ she said. While she was scanning its col- umns the eye of the oldest daugh- ter who had another copy, caught the advertisement of the States- ville House Furnishing Company and she exclaimed: ‘‘Oh!

Parker returned from Lake Toxaway on Sunday, where he was a guest of Mr. B. B. Webb, formerly of this city. Mr. Parker and Mr. i. 8. Pe- gram were members of a deer hunting party on the Toxaway preserve. Mr. Pegram returned last week but Mr. Parker re- mained and the result was that he witnessed a “killing”? by one of the guides. The victim was a fine buck and he brought it home with him. It was on exhibition yesterday at J. F. Harbin’s meat market and attracted a lot of attention. The deer weighed nearly 200 pounds and was a fine specimen —one of the bestever killed in the mountains of Western North Carolina. The horns have four prongs with two points on each prong. The head will be mount- ed and the hide tanned. The guide who shot the deer went out alone one day the first of the week and came back with @ nice deer and a big black bear. He has been a hunter all his life and has killed much game in the mountains. 4 With the Sick. Miss Hattie Robbins who has been ill with typhoid fever at the Billingsley hospital has about re- covered and has been removed to her home on Race street.

Late last night Elmore E. Clo- aninger, father of Clifton Cloan- inger, the 13 year old boy who is held for the superior court charg- ed with breaking and entering Alexander Brothers’ slaughter house last week, and the larceny of a beef hide, returned from Claremont where he had been since last Friday. Cloaninger was greatly surpris- ed to find that his boy was in jail, as he thought that the matter had been settled when he made his son return the money he had received for the hide from the Morrison Produce Company. He was much more surprised when he read in The Mascot that the boy had told Magistrate Sloan that he had been made to steal and sell the hide by his father. In company with Deputy Sheriff James Ward and Mr. W. C. Mills, Cloaninger this morning visited his erring scion in the county jail where he is being held, pending the next session of the county court. Interviewed by Mr. Ward, his father and Mr. Mills, the boy ad- mitted that he had told Judge Sloan that his father had made him commit the theft but he said that his statement was not true. That his father had not. only not told him to commit the deed but that he had no knowledge of the fact that he was going to do it. “Then you lied to Judge Sloan yesterday, did you?’’ asked Dep- uty Sheriff Ward. ““Yes,’’ replied the boy. The boy further stated that his father, when he heard of the affair, had made him return the amount he had received from the Morrison Company and had given him a se- vere scolding for his bad be- haviour. In talking with a Mascot repre- sentative this morning Mr Cloan- inger said that the boy was only 13 years of age last September and that he had given him a great deal of trouble. He had frequently been obliged to whip him for tak- ing things that did not belong to him and he had run away from home several times. At one time he purchased a rifle and started out for South Carolina. . He had the officers at Mooresville stop him and he was brought back to his home in this city. Mr. Cloaninger is of the epinion, he says, that at times the boy is not in his right mind. He isa vic tim of the dime novel habit and is erazy to possess a gun.” Some time ago he disappeared for some days and he has since found out that the boy was in hidding in an old barn where he was furnished with rations by a neighbor. In jail this morning the boy said he had taken the money he received for the hide and bought a rifle and cartridges with it. He seemed to be very sorry for his bad conduct and promised his father that if he would only get him out of this scrape, he would go home with him, be a good boy in the future and go to work.

Lexington, October 26.—The belt of a cotton gin at Arnold, six miles from Lexington, was cut into a number of pieces by some unknown party last night and as a result the gin is not running to- day. Saturday the gin was ope rated and during the past week quite a good deal of cotton has been ginned. Not only was the belt cut ina number of pieces, but one piece about ten feet in length was earried away, making it impossi- ble to patch the belt. It is re- ported that other damage was done, Last night about 9 o’clock sev- eral children who happened to pass along the road near the gin noticed a buggy drive off and it is thought that perhaps the parties who did the damage were in the buggy. There is no clue whatever as to who did the work. As far as can be learned no notices have been posted about the gin and no threats have been heard of. About six months ago in the same locality considerable damage was done in the way of cutting buggies to pieces, slashing harness, beat De0e8O See eect eutting barb wire fences and other | acts of a similar nature. rests were ever made.

It is the purpose, we are inform- ed, of the Daughters to send a committee to Raleigh to petition the next legislature to aid them in providing a place at the Sol- dier’ Home in Raleigh, that Wives may accompany their hus- bands there and where widows may also be taken eare of. For several years the Daughters have been planning to erect a me- morial arch in Raleigh and they have on hand for this purpose $816 For many reasons it has seemed best to abandon this work and a plea has been made to the chap- ters contributing this amount to so ibeadorc IJr., is saying nothing The Mighty Power of Mi-o-na.

It will eure, and is guaranteed by the Statesville Drug Company to the readers of The Mascot to cure the most pitiful eases of dys pepsia, if taken according to di- rections. Mi-o-na tablets not only cure dyspesia, but all stomach disturb- ances, such as vomiting of preg- nancy, or car sickness, and the stomach sickness after excessive indulgence. Mi-o-na cures by strengthening and invigorating the flabby stom- ach walls, and after a course of Mi-o-na treatment, constipation, if there is any, will entirely disap- pear.

Carlton was called upon yesterday to hear a mass of evidence in the ease of Willliam Crawford, charged with changing a railroad ticket that, when sold, read ‘‘good from Eu- fola to Hickory but when present- ed to the conductor on the train had been changed so that it pur- ported to be good from Enufola to Asheville. Most of the witnesses were were put on the stand, however, to prove the bad character of one negro and the good character of another. The change in the ticket had been made in a bungling manne? and was discovered by. the con- ductor as soon as it was present- ed to him on the train by one Seales Tomlin. He was arrested at once and when taken before a magistrate at Asheville told the court that Crawford had given him the tick- et and that he was the individual who had changed it. Crawford’s arrest followed. In Judge Carlton’s court yesterday, Tomlin told the same story that he did in Asheville. Several wit- nesses told of Tomlin’s very bad record and reputation and it was in evidence that he is now un- der bond on the charge of which he aceused Crawford. A number of well known per- sons, many of them white, testifi- ed as to the excellent reputation of the defendant and he himself testified that he had never seen Tomlin before nor the ticket. The witness created an excel- lent impression both on the mag- istrate and those in the room. It was evident that al Ibelieved he was telling the truth. The court announced that it Was unable to find probable cause and ordered the defendant dis- charged. ——.~are—— UNTERRIFIED DEMOCRACY. Attorney George B.

Mere Lad Pays Penalty in Iili- nois, New Orleans, La., October 2.— Yesterday was hanging day in Louisiana, five persons, all ne- groes, being hanged, the greatest number in any one day for many years. All of the hangings were for murder. The first double hanging to take place in Louisiana for 23 years occurred here at noon when two negroes, Edward Honroe and Jaques Pierre, high priest and prophet, respectively, of the “Council of God,”? dropped to- . gether through the same gallows trap in the ward of the parish prison. The negroes were convicted of the murder of Patrolman Robert Cambias on October 10, 1907, dur- ing a pitched battle between the blue coats led by Martin Behr- man, mayor of New Orleans, in person, and a band of forty fanat- ical blacks, styling themselves the “Council of God.’’ This One Was Young.

During his recent address in Baltimore, Mr. Taft said: “‘The Republican party is in fa- vor of and pledged to a thorough and genuine revision of the tariff on a well-understood principle, ang that is that every industry, every product of the farm, the mine or the factory in this county shall be protected against foreign competi- tion by a customs duty equal to the difference in the cost of pro- duction here and the cost of pro- duction abroad. That includes three elements and perhaps more, but three certainly—the cost of material, the cost of labor ang the manufacturers’ profit or the in- ferest on capital.’’ This means, if it means anything that Mr. Taft is willing that the government shall guarantee rea- sonable profits to the protected in- dustries. Yet Mr. Taft denounces in un- measured terms of the democratic proposal to guarantee bank de- posits. A new all-the-year-round ide skating rink in Europe, has been opened at Berlin.

Democrats Have a Parade, a Big Dinner aNd a Brass Band—They Are Addressed by Dr. B. F. Dix- on Who Made Converts to the Faith. Messrs. W. E. Anderson and A. J. Evans were among those from this city who attended the big democratie rally at Shinnville yes- terday and both these gentlemen are high in their praise of the af- fair. The procession formed at Ost-} walt, on horseback and rode to Shinnville. There were mauv handsome ladies in the parade and a particularly noticeable feature of it was the fine quality of the horse flesh to be seen in the col- umn. Arriving at Shinnville Dr. B. F. Dixon, who also took part in the parade, delivered an eloquent and no doubt but that the doctor by his honest, straightforward and convineing talk made many con- verts to the Democratic faith. He was introduced by Hon. Zeb V. Turlington of Mooresville. Following the speaking the good ladies of the neighborhood served a big dinner and although the crowd was a large one, there was enough left on the tables to have fed double the number. Mr. John Shinn, a prosperous farmer of that locality was master of ceremonies and he made it his special duty to see that all visitors were made welcome and to feel “‘perfeetly at home.’? His efforts were greatly appreciated and they deserved to be. Last night Dr. Dixon spoke at Mooresville where there was a big torch light parade and today he is at Mocksville. aS sis The Observer says: Three hundred and eight bales of cotton were sold yesterday at 9.05 cents. On the identical date of 1907 100 bales were sold at 104% cents. Prices of Cotton is Rising. The Raleigh News and Obser- ver says: Cotton reached the flat price of nine cents yesterday afternoon being the highest point the staple has reached for two weeks or more. All during the past fort- night the prevailing prices rang- ed from eight and a half to eight and three-quarters and never dur- ing that entire time was nine eents secured for any cotton in this county. It is the opinion of many cot- ton men that the price will con- tinue to rise and that within an- other fortnight it will be 10 cents flat. During the past ten days while the weather was so warm and Pe of the crop has been picked usually fast and now the great bulk of thee rop has been picked fs brought either to town for sale or to the gin houses. One very gratifying feature of the situation is that a very large percentage of the lands that were put to cotton this year are being sown in wheat and fall oats. This is said by all who know to ean do and it means that a small- er acreage will be planted in cot- ton next year while at the same time just the same land and probably more will be in cultivation but it will~be in crops that the farmer will con- sume on his place and he will not poe so entirely dependent on the prices of the commodities he has to sell. More cotton was brought to Raleigh yesterday than on any one day for some time. This was probably due to a certain extent to the fact that it was raining and was not a suitable day to pick cotton while it was a good day to haul a load to town. Cotton buyers are somewhat optimistic and some of them think that the price will go up several points yet while others believe that it has reached the maximum. Anyway it is noticeable that all of them sell as soon as they ean realize the smallest profit. None of them are willing to hold any large lots of cotton for anr ~~ siderable length of time. ++» Get us five, only five new yearly subscribers to the Evening Mascot and we will PRESENT you with a handsome 42-piece dinner set.

The two wagons containing be- tween 300 and 400 gallons of whiskey in jugs that was seized Tuesday night at Mooresville by Deputy Sheriff Deaton were re- leased yesterday afternoon. The wagons then went at once to Salisbury or at least in that di- rection with their loads. Revenue Officer Hastings of Charlotte went to Mooresville yes- terday morning and after a thor- ough investigation found that the whiskey was all right, so far as the law was concerned and order- ed Mr. Deaton to release the wag- ons and their contents. The whiskey belonged to H. C. Grubb, of Salisbury, and was marked to G. A. Thompson, Rock Hill, S| C. Conflicting statements were given out by the drivers and the owners of ‘the whiskey and the general opinion at Mooresville is that the whiskey was not intend- ed for Rock Hill, but for some of the adjoining western counties; and the turning back of the wag- ons to Salisbury verified this. The sheriffs in the adjoining counties have been notified to keep a lookout for it. —_—_++@>e—_—_ COTTON MAREET. _ Local Market.

Greensboro, October 28.—Wil- liam L. Richmond, a young man from Caswell county les in a ward at St. Leo’s Hospital suffersde from serious injuries received in jumping from a SouthernRailway train as it was entering this city last night. The young man and his sweetheart, Miss Mary Philips eloped from the Union Ridge see- tion of Caswell yesterday and came to Greensboro to be married. > As the train was entering the city, the porter announced Greensboro as the next stop, whereupon Mr. Richmond and Miss Philips left their seats and took their position on the ear steps. As the train be- gan slackening its speed, they leaped into the darkness and fell violently to the ground. Miss Philips escaped with a few slight bruises, but her fianee was not so fortunate. His right arm was broken near the shoulder and he was injured about the head. He was removed to St. Leo’s Hos- pital, where he was attended by Dr. E. R. Michaux and Dr. A. R. Wilson. The Southern Railway’s surgeons spent practically the en- tire night with the patient, who suffered greatly. His condition cians say he will be able to leave the hospital in a few weeks. The young man was delirious under the halucination that he had been assaulted by the father of his bride to be. He insisted Mr. Phillips had struck him on his head with a stick and begged the physicians and nurses to keep the supposed irate father away from him. Miss Phillips refused to be sep- arated from her fiance and ac- companicd him to the hospital, where she was given a room for the night. She confided to Dr. Michaux that it was her first trip on a train, but she was of the opin ion that her sweetheart had once before been a railway passenger for a short distance. —_———_—_++@r-o——_—— Fine Yield of Corn.

Poison For Preacher WHO MARRIED A METHODIST. — Oklahoma City Authorities Won- der if the Dose Was Meant for the Baptist Minister Because he Chose to Wed Woman of An- other Faith—Two Servants are Dead. Oklahoma City, Oetober 29.— Death by poison of two servants ir the home of Rev. Carter lelm psstor of the Baptist church here, has started an inves tigation to determine whether poison was meant for the minis- ter by persons in Lynchburg, Va., who objected to his marriage to a womana of the Methodist church. Dr. Jones says he does not be- lieve the poison was meant for him. Edward and Laura Davis, ser- vants in the household f Dr. Jones were found dead. Besides them was a bottle of whiskey and a bot- tle of blackberry brandy. The brandy had been brought by Dr. Jones’ family from Virginia. Dr. Jones was pastor of the Broadway Baptist church in Louisville, Ky., for years. About a year ago he went to Lynchburg Va., to take one of the largest largest churches there. He mar- ried a prominent Methodist wo- man and this marriage outside of denomination caused bitter comment. Jones. his —_—_-++<+<2-e——_—— ONE WHO HAS SEEN. Views by Mr. L. M.

Hull has sujt retrnued from a trip through South Carolina, Georgia and Florida and since the cam” paign commenced he has been in twenty states, particularly those thickly populated states of the middle west. He declares that s3ryan will win, not by a mere marein but by an unexpected landslide. The American voters have arrived at a stage of unrest and there is a general demand for a change to a government ‘““by the people.’? Te says there is an under current of determination and of confidence and the major- ity Bryan gets will surprise the most sanguine prophet. The Iili- nois Steel Company employs seventeen thousand men and the Roosevelt panic has left fifteen thousand of them idle and with the bottom of their dinner pail. They demand a change and are eoing to the polls with a Bryan ballot. He says nine-tenths of the rail road employes are for Bryan de- spite the attitude of a few big officers. The sentiment of the masses is for Bryan and Demo- eracy and he will ge in by a great unexpected landslide.

New Yorker Was Willing to Make the Sacrifice That Another Pa- tient in Bellevue Hospital Might Get Well—Operation Required Two aNg One Half Hours and Was Probably a Success. New York, October 29.—Ten dollars was the price for which Mark Owen gave up 16 ounces of blood at Bellevue hospital yester- day. Owen, who is 32 years old, and a lodger at the Mills Hotel, was selected from among a half doz- en candidates at the hospital who offered their blood for transfu- sion to the veins of John Denni- son, 16 years old, who suffered from a tumor in the left shinbone. The operation was performed with cocaine, and the flow from the arterial system of the giver to the veinous system of the receiver was continued from 11 o’clock in he morning until 1:30 in the af ernoon. Notwithstanding the oss of blood Owen was able to ise unassisted and walked out of he hospital as vigorously as when ae entered. When the healthy blood began o flow into the sick boy’s veins, he effect was magical. Owen’s ‘ace slightly paled, and there was a corresponding flush in the boy’s ‘ace, his pulse became nearly nor- mal and his respiration more aatural. Dennison is in good con- lition and may recover. —_—— To and From Taylorsville: The Mountain Scot says: Miss Maud Mills, of the Bil lingsly hospital, Statesville, who has been nursing Mrs. Fred Staf- tord, was called to Elmwood Sat- urday to attend the funeral of her erandfather, Mr. Thompson.

Money Lender Complains Against His ‘‘Loved One’’—She Was to Transfer Real Estate to Him to Pay for Money Borrowed But did Not do So. Chieago, Oct, 28—A many-sid- ed story of robbery and romance of the ‘‘affinity’’ variety is reveal- ed in the arrest, announced yester- day of Mrs. Martha Mabelle Dun- phy, wife of Jno Dunphy, a prom- inent Boston physician, on a charge of appropriating $10,000 worth of diamonds and securi ties. Charles E. Giles, a money lend- er, is the complainant against Mrs. Dunphy. His story to the Chicago police included a recital of supposed doing at the Great Northern Hotel which were con- ducted when Mrs. Dunphy disap- peared during his absence from the hostelry. The valuables dis- appeared, said he, along with Mrs. Dunphy. The accused woman, however, is emphatic in her denials of the entire story, declaring that it is trumped up by the money lender in a spirit of revenge. The course of the police investi- gation it developed that the stolen property originally belong to Mrs. Dunpry, but had been de posited with Giles as security for several loans. “Its all a pack of lies,’’ tearful- ly exclaimed Mrs. Dunphy when. asked about the charge. ‘‘Its an outrage. If there is to be a trial it shall be in Boston and not in Chicago.”’ Giles first made his complaint to the police here something over over a week ago. He declared that he started with Mrs. Dun- phy for Boston, where se was going to transfer some real estate to him in payment of her indebt- edness for money loaned to her. The transaction was not made however, said he, and they return- ed to Chicago. At the Great Northern Hotel, he told Secretary Wiliam Luth- mart, of the detective bureau, they occupied the same suit of rooms. During his absence from the suite one morning, he added, Mrs. Dunphy called a bell boy, and complained that she had lost the key to her trunk, The bell boy was offered a dol- lar to open it for her, the story goes, and he broke the lock, and left the trunk in Mrs. Dunphy’s eare. When Giles returned, he said, Mrs. Dunphy and the valua- bles had disappeared. —_—__—_++2@-—__—_ Senator Vest on the Dog.

Democrats Have a Parade, a Big Dinner ald a Brass Band—They Are Addressed by Dr. B. F. Dix- on Who Made Converts to the Faith. Messrs. W. E. Anderson and A. J. Evans were among those from this city who attended the big demoeratie rally at Shinnville yes- terday and both these gentlemen are high in their praise of the af fair. The procession formed at Ost- walt, on horseback and rode to Shinnville. There were mauy handsome ladies in the parade and 2 particularly noticeable feature of it was the fine quality of the horse flesh to be seen in the col- umn. Arriving at Shinnville Dr. B. F. Dixon, who also took part in the parade, delivered an eloquent and no doubt but that the doctor by his honest, straightforward and convineing talk made many con- verts 1o the Democratic faith. He was introduced by Hon. Zeb V. Turlington of Mooresville. Following the speaking the good ladies of the neighborhood served a big dinner and although the crowd was a large one, there was enough left on the tables to have fed double the number. Mr. John Shinn, a prosperous farmer of that locality was master of ceremonies and he made it his special duty to see that all visitors were made welcome and to feel “*perfeetly at home.’’ His efforts were greatly appreciated and they deserved to be.

One very gratifying feature of the situation is that a very large percentage of the lands that were put to cotton this year are being sown in wheat and fall oats. This is said by all who know to ean do and it means that a small- er acreage will be planted in cot- ton next year while at the same time just the same amount of land and probably more will be in cultivation but it will~be in crops that the farmer will con sume on his place and he will not jee so entirely dependent on the prices of the commodities he has to sell. More cotton was brought to Raleigh yesterday than on any one day for some time. This was probably due to a certain extent to the fact that it was raining and was not a suitable day to pick eotton while it was a good day to haul a load to town. Cotton buyers are somewhat optimistic and some of them think that the price will go up several points yet while others believe Anyway it is noticeable that all of them sell as soon as they can realize the smallest profit.

The two wagons containing be- tween 300 and 400 gallons of whiskey in jugs that was seized Tuesday night at Mooresville by Deputy Sheriff Deaton were re leased yesterday afternoon. The wagons then went at once to Salisbury or at least in that di- rection with their loads. Revenue Officer Hastings of Charlotte went to Mooresville yes- terday morning and after a thor- ough investigation found that the whiskey was all right, so far as the law was concerned and order- ed Mr. Deaton to release the wag- ons and their contents. The whiskey belonged to H. C. Grubb, of Salisbury, and was marked to G. A. Thompson, Rock Hill, S| C. \ Conflicting statements were given out by the drivers and the owners of ‘the whiskey and the general opinion at Mooresville is that the whiskey was not intend- ed for Rock Hill, but for some of the adjoining western counties; and the turning back of the wag- ons to Salisbury verified this. The sheriffs in the adjoining eounties have been notified to keep a lookout for it. ———_+ +6 ___ COTTON MARKET. . Local Market.

Richmond, a young man from Caswell county lies in a ward at St. Leo’s Hospital suffertitg from serious injuries received in jumping from a SouthernRailway train as it was entering this city last night. The young man and his sweetheart, Miss Mary Philips eloped from the Union Ridge sec- tion of Caswell yesterday and As the train was entering the city, the porter announced Greensboro as the next stop, whereupon Mr. Richmond and Miss Philips left their seats and took their position on the ear steps. As the train be- gan slackening its speed, they leaped into the darkness and fell violently to the ground. Miss Philips escaped with a few slight bruises, but her fiance was not so fortunate. His right arm was broken near the shoulder and he was injured about the head. He was removed to St. Leo’s Hos- pital, where he was attended by Dr. E. R. Michaux and Dr. A. R. Wilson. The Southern Railway’s surgeons spent practically the en- tire night with the patient, who suffered greatly. His condition cians say he will be able to leave the hospital in a few weeks. The young man was delirious under the halucination that he had been assaulted by the father of his bride to be. He insisted Mr. Phillips had struck him on his head with a stick and begged the physicians and nurses to keep the supposed irate father away from him. Miss Phillips refused to be sep- arated from her fiance and ac- companied him to the _ hospital, where she was given a room for the night. She confided to Dr. Michaux that it was her first trip on a train, but she was of the opin ion that her sweetheart had once before been a railway passenger for a short distance. ——__~~+a@> Fine Yield of Corn.

Oklahoma City, October 29.— Death by poison of two servants ir the home of Rev. Carter Helm Jones, pastor of the Baptist church here, has started an inves- tigation to determine whether poison was meant for the minis- ter by persons in Lynchburg, Va., who objected to his marriage to a woman of the Methodist church. Dr. Jones says he does not be- lieve the poison was meant for him. Edward and Laura Davis, ser- vants in the household f Dr. Jones were found dead. Besides them was a bottle of whiskey and a bot- tle of blackberry brandy. The brandy had been brought by Dr. Jones’ family from Virginia. Dr. Jones was pastor of the Broadway Baptist church in Louisville, Ky., for years. About a year ago he went to Lynchburg Va., to take one of the largest largest churches there.

Hull has sujt retrnued from a trip through South Carolina, Georgia and Florida and since the cam- paign commenced he has been in twenty states, particularly those thickly populated states of the middle west. He declares that Bryan will win, not by a mere margin but by an unexpected landslide. The American voters have arrived at a stage of unrest and there is a general demand for a change to a government ‘‘by the people.’’ He says there is an under current of determination and of confidence and the major- ity Bryan gets will surprise the most sanguine prophet. The IIli- nois Steel Company employs seventeen thousand men and the Roosevelt panie has left fifteen thousand of them idle and with the bottom of their dinner pail. They demand a change and are geoing to the polls with a Bryan ballot. He says nine-tenths of the rail- road employes are for Bryan de- spite the attitude of a few big officers. The sentiment of the masses is for Bryan and Demo- eracy and he will ge in by a great unexpected landslide.

Next Sunday, November 1, be- ing the nearest to October 31st, the Lutherans all over the coun- try will hold special services and in nearly all of their churches special sermons will be preached by tke pastors. St. John’s church of this city will be no exception and Rev. W. A. Lutz’s sermon at the morning service will be of unusual inter- jest, especially so to those of other religious faiths than the Luther- ans. These are cordially invited to be present. It was on October 31, 1517, all Saints Day, that Martin Luther nailed his 95 articles to the door of the church at Wittenburg and itis in commemoration of this event that these special services are held.

New Yorker Was Willing to Make the Sacrifice That Another Pa- tient in Bellevue Hospital Might Get Well—Operation Required Two ang One Half Hours and Was Probably a Success. New York, October 29.—Ten dollars was the price for which Mark Owen gave up 16 ounces of blood at Bellevue hospital yester- day. Owen, who is 32 years old, and a lodger at the Mills Hotel, was selected from among a half doz- en candidates at the hospital who offered their blood for transfu- sion to the veins of John Denni- son, 16 years old, who suffered from a tumor in the left shinbone. The operation was performed with cocaine, and the flow from the arterial system of the giver to the veinous system of the receiver was continued from 11 o’clock in he morning until 1:30 in the af- ernoon. Notwithstanding the oss of blood Owen was able to ise unassisted and walked out of he hospital as vigorously as when ae entered. When the healthy blood began o flow into the sick boy’s veins, the effect was magical. Owen’s ‘ace slightly paled, and there was a corresponding flush in the boy’s ‘ace, his pulse became nearly nor- mal and his respiration more aatural.

An Afinity Disappears. AND DIAMONDS WITH HER. No. 349 Money Lender Complains Against His ‘‘Loved One’’—She Was to Transfer Real Estate to Him to Pay for Money Borrowed But did Not do So. Chicago, Oct. 28.—A many-sid- ed story of robbery and romance of the “‘affinity”’ variety is reveal- ed in the arrest, announced yester- day of Mrs. Martha Mabelle Dun- phy, wife of Jno Dunphy, a prom- inent Boston physician, on a charge of appropriating $10,000 worth of diamonds and securi ties. Charles E. Giles, a money lend- er, is the complainant against Mrs. Dunphy. His story to the Chicago police included a recital of supposed doing at the Great Northern Hotel which were con- ducted when Mrs. Dunphy disap- peared during his absence from the hostelry. The valuables dis- appeared, said he, along with Mrs. Dunphy. The accused woman, however, is emphatie in her denials of the entire story, declaring that it is trumped up by the money lender in a spirit of revenge. The course of the police investi- gation it developed that the stolen property originally belong to Mrs. Dunpry, but had been de posited with Giles as security for several loans. “‘Its all a pack of lies,’’ tearful- ly exclaimed Mrs: Dunphy when asked about the charge. ‘‘Its an outrage. If there is to be a trial it shall be in Boston and not in Chicago.”’ Giles first made his complaint to the police here something over over a week ago. He declared that he started with Mrs. Dun- phy for Boston, where ske was going to transfer some real estate to him in payment of her indebt- edness for money loaned to her. The transaction was not made however, said he, and they return- ed to Chicago. At the Great Northern Hotel, he told Secretary Wiliam Luth- mart, of the detective bureau, they oceupied the same suit of rooms. During his absence from the suite one morning, he added, Mrs. Dunphy -cailed a bell boy, and complained that she had lost the key to her trunk, The bell boy was offered a dol- lar to open it for her, the story goes, and he broke the lock, and left the trunk in Mrs. Dunphy’s eare. When Giles returned, he said, Mrs. Dunphy and the valua- bles had disappeared. —_<+@>>—__ Senator Vest on the Dog.

Henry Clews in his last finan- fact that last year our agricultur- al products were valued at $7,- 90€,000,000. This year they will reach eight billion dollars or five hundred million dollars more than Jest year. Speaking of the influence of the terthcoming election on bus- inegs. he says: “There is no question but that the clecticn exercises a powerful- ly sentimental effect upon busi- ness. But this is only temporary and in the long run it can have but little effect upon the entire volume of business. While un- certainty lasts a certain amount of business may be held up; some- times for political effect: and some times for the purpose of operat- ing under the most advantageous circumstances; but over a lengthy period of time the eleetion of an ordinary president is really of les- Ser importance than the selection of the legislative branch of the government; since the former simply executes laws which the latter enact.’ The ‘‘warning”’ that the elec- tion of Bryan would eause a panic and all that, is nothing more or less than republican humbuggery and arrant nonsense. All indications now point to a democratic victory, yet the stock market is strong, with prices at the highest point, in many cases since the erisis of 1907. ~~ CONFIDENT OF VICTORY. * Chairman Mack wires Chairman Eller that Bryan will have a ma- jority in the electoral college, and to appeal for a large popular vote in North Carolina to strengthen the party in its fight for the re- form legislation to which it is committed. In this hour of vic tory let every Democrat do his full duty to make the result de- cisive. Chairman Mack’s telegram was as follows: A. H. Eller, Chairman Democratic State Committee, Raleigh, N. C. We are confident that Bryan will win in the electoral college. I am wiring you to urge you to eall upon the voters of your state to be active and to appeal to those in strong Democratic sections to bring out the full Demoeratie vote so that a big majrity of the popu- lar vote will be cast for Bryan and Kern. A large majority of the popular vote will be east for Bry- an and Kern. A large majority of the popular vote will help to secure the reform legislation to which our party is committed. A big majority in your state will help the Demoeratie party every- where. Please leave no effort un- tried to get out the full Demo cratic vote in your state. Appeal to the Democratic papers which have done so much in this cam- paign to aid in this work. —_ — ~ DANGER IN DELAY. —— Kidney Diseases Are Too Daa- gerous for Statesville People to Neglect.

WHERE THE MONEY FOR OEMOGRATIG IMPROVEMENTS COMES FROM Only 36 Per Cent. cof Taxes For State Government Col- lected From Poll and Property Taxes and a Large Part of this Goes Bac to the Counties From Which It Comes' Improved Schools, Enlarged Asylums, In- creased Pensions, Etc., Come From Franchise, Privi- lege, Railroad, Insurance and Other Corporate | Taxes. No doubt a great many people have } « been puzzled to know how the Dem- ocratic administration has been able to make the extensive improvements in the public school system, build so | many new school houses, enlarge the asylums, largely increase pensions to Confederate soldiers, ete., without any inerease in the property or pol! taxes for State government. The report of the State Treasurer for the last year shows that only 36 per cent. of the revenues of the State government are derived from the gen- eral property and poll taxes collected by the-sheriffs and that in forty-one counties of the State an {mount in excess of this amount is actually re- turned to the counties in the appor- tionment of the school fund and in the pension payments, and in the oth- r counties a large per cent. of the state taxes collected are returned to -hem for these objects. The balance of 64 ver cent. of State revenues is derived entirely from ronchise taxes, privilege taxes and faxes on railroads, insurance compa- nies and other corporations, This is a remarkable showing as indicating the progress that has been made under Democratic sovernment in equalizing the burdens of taxation. For a long time the State collected most of its income directly from the citizens, while corporations, especially railroads and insurance companies, did not pay anything like their pro- portionate share of taxes and but com- paratively little money was realized by the State from franchises and privi- | lege taxes. What It Means to Vote for Mr. Cox. Winston Journal. When a Democrat votes for Mr. J. Elwood Cox for Governor, he is prac- tically voting: Ist—To place all election machin- ery in the hands of Republicans, the Governor having the power to appoint the election board. 2nd—To place the penitentiary in the same hands that had it ten years ago and ran it in debt over $300,000. the Governor controlling this through a board appointed by him. 3srd—To place our splendid hospi- tals for the insane, our excellent schools for the deaf, dumb and blind, our State University, Normal schools, A. and M. Colleges, ete., all under control of Republican Doards. 4th—To place the appointment to | | | | ! | publican. 5th—To absolutely kill for feéur years all effort looking to the pre- vention of discrimination in freight | rates, the Governor being the life and | spirit of the prosecution. These are some of the things you Will be voting tor should you vote for NED) COX: ee Don't fail to vote tor your Demo- cratic Congressman.

The only way to put Joe Cannonism is by elect- inz a Democratic Congress. If the old |man should be defeated in his district, as now seems probable, and the Re- publicans should hold their majority in Congress, they would find another Joe Cannon to put in the Speaker’s chair and stand between the special interests and the people. It is time now for a people’s Congress. “SEEIN’ THINGS “ ee oN ROBERT BROADNAX GLENN. Governor of North Carolina. camp of the enemy.

Dest) inopiay Tennessee all the I have The one issue which the Republi- ‘ans have raised with the Democrats in North Carolina and given the dig- nity of of a position in their State plat- form is a criticism of the last Demu- eratic Legislature for reducing rail- road passenger fares in North Caro- ima—that they have made it possible ‘or the people of the State to buy railroad tickets for 1ess money than they formerly had to pay for them. Bear in mind that the Democrats nave been in charge of our Legisla- tures for ten years. and in these ten years they have legislated so well and 30 wisely for the promotion of the mterests of the whole people of the State that in all this record the Re- publicans find nothing worthy of cri- ‘icism in their State platform but this “ne matter of railroad rates. The Democrats gladly accept the ssue they thus raise, and take pride n defending their action in this mat- er as one of their best accomplish- ments for the benefit of the people tt large, and have the advantage of deing able to show, rrom the sworn reports made by the railroads them- selves, that, while they. have thus cheapened passenger fares to all the people, they have at the same time increased largely the net earnings of the railroads from passenger fares in North Carolina.

It is a well known principle of trade that any article of commerce that s exported to any considerable extent cunnot be benefitted in the home mar- ket by a protective tariff. unless the natural laws of trade are interfered with in some artificial way, as, for in- stance, when the home market ‘ontrolled by a trust. which fs not now and never has been true of the ‘umber business.

Upon examining the prices of cot- ton from the rears 1893 to 1900, in- clusive, I find that the New York pri- ees for these years cover the admin- istrations of Cleveland and McKinley. Cleveland was inaugurated March $. 7893. The hishest price reached by cotton during the year was 9 15-16 eenhts per pound; the lowest price was 7% cents per pound. In 1894 the highest price was 8 5-10, the lowest was 5 9-16. In 1895 the highest price was 9%, the lowest was 5 9-16. In 2896 the highest price was 8%, the lowest was 7 1-16. . McKinley was inaugurated March 4, 1897. The highest price reached by cotton for that year was 8% cents per popnd, the lowest was 5 13-16. In 1898 the hizhest price was 6 9-16, the lowest was 5 5-16. In 1899 the highest i doubt. jpublication issued in 1907. made by | price was 7 15-16, the lowest was 57%. OF wee In 1900 the highest price was 11, the } lowest was 7 8-16. It will thus be seen that cotton reached its lowest price during the years 1898 and 1899 of McKinley's ad- ministration. Taking the average price during the administrations of Cleve- land and McKinley, we find that for the vear 1893, the first year of Cleve- land’s administration. cotton averaged $ 2-3 cents per pound. The first year ot McKinley’s administration cottor averaged 6 15-16 cents per pond. In 1894, the second year of Cleve- land’s administration, cotton averagee | 6 15-16 cents per pound. The second year of McKinley’s administration cot- ton averaged 5 15-16 cents per pound The third year of Cleveland’s ministration cotton averaged 7 23-32 cents per pound. The third year ol McKinley's administration averaged 6 27-32 cents per pound. The fourth year of Cleveland’s ad- ministration cotton averaged 38 1-48 cents per pound. The last year of McKinley's administration averaged 9% cents per pound. It. will thus be scen averaged during Cleveland’s adminis tration 7 6-7 cents per pound, anc during McKinley's administration 7 1-16 cents per pound. The lowest average price cotton has ever sold at since any record has been kept. of its-price was during the three first years of McKinléy’s admin- istration. ‘The prices referred to were York prices. North Carolina prices were at least % to % of a cent less than the New York prices. IT trust that these figures may be of some service to you. They are accu- rate. Of their accuracy I have no They are collected from Alfred Shepperson, recognized as one of the most accurate cotton statisti- cians of the United States, and they verified by examination of the the cotton mer- are books of some of ehants of Wilson. You will notice that during the years } 1892, 1894 and 1895, while at some periods during the season cotton reached in 1893 7% cents, during the same year it also reached 9 15-16: and while in 1894 it reached 5 9-1’ during the same season it $ 5-16 cents; and while in 1895 it sole as low as 5 9-16 cents, yet much of the cotton was sold at 9%; and dur- ing the second and third years of Me- Kinley’s administration,. and while the McKinley tariff bill was in opera. tion, the highest price at which cotton was sold was in 1898, 6 9-16 per pound, and in 1899 the highest price at which cotton cents. | BRYAN ADVANCE AGE |” sold was 7 13-16 PROSPERITY Remedies Which the Democratic Party Offers to the Restoration of Confidence and Quietude and an Even, Equitable Prosperity. The Roosevelt Panic Measures Republican Failure. A The effert of the Republicans to create a Bryan scare have not only Zallen flat, but Mr. Bryan is taking the wind from their sails by pointing Out the necessity of remedies and pol- icles advocated only by the Democrats tor the restoration of confidence and@ the return of prosperity: “The Democratic party is absolutely necessary to restore prosperity. The Republican party has had its chance tnd it bas failed. We are now in the midst of a depression for which Nat- ural conditions furnish no excuse. Artificial conditions are respohsible fox the present business prostration amt those artificial conditions orizi- na ‘d in Republican policies. The bu nese failures for the nine months vm mz on September 30 were 11,943 a .number. and the liabilities amount- d to $179,000,000. It meant that if ne assets are worth, in fact, the amount at which they are placed, shere will still be a loss of $56,000,000 to account for. “This tremendous loss comes at a time when crops are reasonably good and when nature bas not withheld her bounty. It comes when the Republi- caus are in complete control. They have a President whom they eulogize in their platform, a Senate completely in the hands of the Republican party znd a Republican House of Represen- tatives dominated by a despotic Speaker. We can assume, therefore, that they have done everything they could do consistently under their poli- cies to prevent « panic, and yet the panic is here. It comes, too, when we have a tarit¥ so high that even the Bepublicans promise uncquivecally to revise it immediately, and Mr. Taft has ventured the opinion that the re- vision will probaply be downward. What does it prdmise to do for the protection of the public? What poli- cies has it that ig0k “to a restoration of prospcrity? -*A member the British cabinet said recently in « speech that the ex- ports of cotton 2.ods from Lancashire had increased eleven per cent over Jast year. and he declared that the cotton exports the United States had fallen jorty-five per cent in . the same period. Jf this is true, how twill the protecti nists explain it? “The Republican party cannot ¢s- cape from its record. It is important to protect the public. because its poli- cies have tor their object not the ad- vancement of the general welfare but the enrichment of a relatively Small number of the people at the expense of the-rest of the people. If we are to have prosperity, we must restore independence in industry. The Re- publican party does not promise this. On the contrary, it pledges itself to a continuation of the policies under which trusts have grown and fattened at the expense of the public. _ “The Democratie party does prom- sé tO prevent the creation of private monopolies. To have prosperity we must have harmonious co-operation nretween labor and “capital. The Re- bublican party does not promise this. nm the contrary it ises to con- tinue the policies which estranged labor and capitat, gnd have made la- hie troubles acute. The Democratic wagty promises justice between labor ed capital snd 2 restoration of peace and fri¢ridship between employer and ' Ol oft employe. “To have prosperity we must pro- tect the depositors and thus induce them to take their money out of hid- ing and restore it to the channels ot trade. The Republican party does not promise protection of deposits. The Democratic party does. The Democratic party promises legisla- tion which will irsure depositors. The man who puts his money in a bank must know that he can withdraw it be given by the banks, because the banks make their money out of their depositors. If we are going to have prosperity we must‘have a reduction of the tariff The people recognize the tariff is extortionate. Even the Republican leaders are forced to ad- mit this, and yet they are deliberately planning to prevent any real revision by electing a stand-pat Congress while the Republican candidate ~ is talking about revision, without giving any assurance that revision will mean a material reduction. If the Republi- can party wins, it will not revise the tariff In the interest of consumer and that means that the present agitation must continue for four years longer. “Do the .\business men want busi- ness unsettled? Do the businss men Want an extension of this agitation? rates? If the Democratic party wins there will be an immediate reduction public demand and remove the tariff years. A Democratic prosperity, prosperity ‘to all the ple, a peo- prosperity that will be perma- nent. It means the remedying of abuses; until there can be no peace and the sooner can the remedy be applied.” —_——— So _ If it were possible to draw tical tariff bill so equitable in its terms his son by giving to bed without any supper and then sone to sleep. conferred with If its exact benefits equality then is no sleight of hand method which the government lar into the treasury of the steel trust which it has not earned without tak- ing it ont of the pocket of some one else.

That kind of a separator will no longer be used and those who manufacture it may find their occupation gone, but for the rest of the people it will be a glad day, a day of great rejoicing.” These kind of threats fall flat of their own weight in the year 1908. Laborers, with the dinner pails already but scantitly filled, if net empty, are not to be intimidated this year.

F&F. B. <Arendell, who spent some time in Oklahoma, where the plan is now in successful operation. He has investigated and seen the bene- ficent effects of its operations, and presents fts udvantages and answers its opponents simply, clearly and forcefully: . The Democratic party in its plat- form proposes a safe, sound, simple and economical method of guarantee- ing the bank deposits of the great mass of individual depositors without whose money the banking business of this country could not survive for a single day. It is a practicable, fea- sible business proposition, the princi- ple of which is being applied every day to almost every phase of business and commercial life. A co-operative plan based on common sense, without frilis or necessary friction, a plan that has riveted the attention and won the support of thousands and hundreds of thousands of the brainiest and most prominent men of all parties, and all sections of the country, who _ realize the fact that there is a growing de- mand for some pracitical and effective methoJ, the provisions-of which will furnish security to the people who fur- nish nine-tenths of the money upon which the banks of the country do business. The pian proposed by Mr. Bryan and embraced in the Denver platform is simple, sensible, sound. It provides for a guarantee fund to be raised by a small-tax on bank de- posits, to be paid by the banks and held in the national treasury, and -to be used only for re-imbursing the depositors in case a bank should fail— or a bank official should syuander the depositor’s money. “ . That’s all there is in-it. It simply proposes ty guarantee the depositor’s money, and if carried into-effect it will dd it ; Should the individual depositer be protected? Why not? And why should, the banker be the only person and r the bank the only institution that de- rmand the use of the people’s money without security? If the National. Government wants money, and it frequently does, it will give to the man who furnishes the money United States bonds bearing interest as security. Not even’ the govermment asks for the people's money without security. If a mailroad company wants your money it will give. you interest bearing bonds se- cured by a mortgage on the ’railroad. If a cotton mil) company wants your money it will give you a mortgage on its mill. If an individual wants your money he will give you as security a mortgage on his home with | h's wife’s Signature attacned, and if «he don’t pay you back, principal and in- terest, the law. provides that you may sell the home and apply -the proceeds to the payment of the debt.

Southern Plans Many Improve- ments, - That industrial conditions are improving is evidenced by the statement made last Wednesday in Cincinnati, O., by President W. W. Finley, of the Southern Rail- way. Said he: “The Southern will in the near future place rail and new equip- ment orders that will probably exceed expectations. Business conditions are improving, though perhaps more slowly than hoped for, but there is every reason to believe normal conditions will be restored. It seems but natural that after so extended a period of depression the reversal should come, and when it does there will be a eason of unprecedented prosperity. “When the election has passed, ; business will improve, and all our ! institutions will participate in the prosperity.”’ _—-—_29<+ > —__-_ Don’t let the baby suffer from eczema, sores or any itching of the skin.

The Mascot has received the fol- lowing interesting letter from an old resident of Iredell, Mr. Claud Shook: Rising Star, Tex., Oct. 24. While sitting alone this shiver- ing evening I could think of noth- ing to pass away the time, so thought I would write to old North Carolina. Three years ago I bundled up my possessions at Eufola and struck for Texas, not’ hardly knowing where I would locate. but at any rate look around over this western country. Now peo- ple don’t get frightened when I tell you that what I always be lieved was sure true. When I arrived at Dallas, the conductor came and wanted to know if L wanted an escort to the hothell, (hotel in North Caroli- na.) I told him no that I would go by myself. ‘When about thirty of the most curious looking creatures I ever saw but soon found that they were some tough Texans with horns. Now maybe you think I wasn’t scared but I soon found that such things were not uncommon in Texas. Well now I will drift to some- thing else. I and my partner, Ural Sherrill, also an old tar heel, have been picking cotton for 65 eents per hundred and_ board, and averaging from $3.00 to $3.60 per day. When it comes to mak- ing money give me Texas. Willie Gable my cousin from North Carolina who has been in Kansas, s here helping me pick eotton. As yet heis undecided whether to serape the tar off his heels and stop, or leave it on and return. = We are having some winter now which is rather early for this country, but yet it was not unex- pected when it came. You people, back there, don’t know what a field is. Those you have are only spots on the side of the hills. Here we have fields which contain from 500 to 2500 aeres and wheat fields of from 50 to 500 acres. As far as we can tell now cotton is better than it was last year, especially in some places. All eards from North Carolina will be answered. From a Tar Heel Texan. __ CLAUD SHOOK. Already large delegations from the surrounding townships have pledged themselves as being ready to be here and take part in the parade. The speakers will be Hon. Cam- eron Morrison of Charlotte and Hon. Theo. F. Kluttz of Salis~ bury, and the procession will be formed on the square and march over the principal streets of the city. The speaking will follow the parade. ——-—_.-+ > __-_ NEW BUYER IS HERE. American Tobacco Company Now Has a Representative on the Local Tobacco Market—Anoth- er Big Sale This Morning. There was another big sale of leaf tobacco at the Planters Ware- house this morning. It was well attended and as on yesterday and the previous day the ‘‘weed’’ brought good prices. The word is getting out more or less extensively throughout all of the tobacco belt in this section of the state, that farmers can get more for their leaf in this city than elsewhere and each day sees more wagons arriving at the ware- house. oa eee Last night a Mr. Gordon from Virginia arrived in the city and will represent the American To- baeeco Company on the loeal mar- ket. ; The Charlotte Observer says: ‘The tobacco growers of the mountain counties are learning that Statesville is a fine marketing place and they are hauling their product there. About 50,000 pounds of tobacco were sold there yesterday and the prices were good.”’ ; 2+» ____ Mark Twain Caught Out. A poet, a pair of trousers across his knee, sat in his attie trying to thread a needle, “‘The proper way,’’ he said, ‘‘is to hold the thread still and push the needle toward it or to hold the needle still and push the thread toward it. Mark Twain says both ways are right. Then he says they are both wrong.”’ Taking down ‘‘The Prince and the Pauper,’’ the poet read: *“He did as men have always done and probably always will do needle still and tried to thrust the to the end of time—held the thread through the eye, which is the opposite of a woman’s way.’’ Then the poet, taking down ““Huckleberry Finn,’’ read: ***Bless you, child, when you set out to thread a needle don’t hold the thread still and fetch the needle up to it. Hold the needle still and poke the thread at it. That’s the way a woman most al- ways does, but a man always does t’other way.. ”’ ++ Mr. F. E. Brantley is in Raleigh on business Hon. Luke H. Parrish of Rich- mond, Va., is in the city. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Barron of Wilmington arrived last night for a visit to relatives near town. Lawyer F.

Finally the supply of granite and pieces of bricks be- eame exhausted and Carl, for the want of a better missile, picked up an old bed spring and hurled it at his antagonist. The spring missed its intended mark, shied off in another direc- tion and struck a sister of Ben- nett’s but did no injury. According to the evidence Ben- name is Carl and continued to beat him after he was down. Judge Sloan sent roads for thirty days. * Bennett is an old offender.

HUDSON A BUSY MAN i State Farm Demonstration Work Has Been Introduced in About Twenty Counties in This State With Most Beneficial Results Nir. C. R. Hudson of this city, ‘state agent for farm demonstra- tion work is a busy man these days. ‘ Just now he is on a tour about the state establishing new demon- Stration work. His real head- quarters are at the Iredell county state farm just outside of the city and he has an office in the court house. The first of the week Mr. Hud- son was in Greenville, Pitt county, consulting with leading farmers there about the introduction of the demonstration work there, and the selection of a man to sn- perintend it. The department does thi: work only upon application, and only then when 100 farmers agree to engage in any one county to aid and follow the directions of the county demonstrator in the par- ticular crops selected for the special demonstration of soil. seed and cultivatin. There are now about twenty eountics of the state having these dexcnstration farms. Mr. Hud- son is getting now every day re- ports from these counties as to re- sults of this year’s work. Of course the actual results cannot yet be given, since cotton and corn are not yet capable of accurate ro- poris, but in every instance where reports have been made, the re- sults have been wonderful. The grain crops planted and enltivated under the demonstra- tor’s gidance, in every instance, bave showed at least double the vield of wheat and eats, as under the old system. Every report so far from corn and cotton crops in every county, indicates an in- crease of nearly 75 per cent in the ton.

It is Predicted at High Point That Candidate Cox Will Not be Able to Carry His Own Precinct—His Election Would be Detrimental to Organized Labor. (Special to The Mascot.) High Point, October 30.—It is predicted by Democrats here that Mr. J. Elwood Cox will not be able to carry his own precinct in the gubernatorial contest. The local Union of Amalgamat- ed Woodworkers have passed res- olutions opposing Mr. Cox. It is a well known fact that Mr. Cox was president of the Globe-Home Burniture Co., here at the time of the lockout, ang labor unionists claim that he was well aware of the action of his co-partners dur- ing the lock-out, his assertions that he_ knew nothing of it not- withstanding, and the following resolutions wero adopted ata meeting of the Amalgamated Woodworkers, held Oct. 8, 1908: ‘‘Resolved. That the election of Mr. J. Elwood Cox would be de- trimental to organized labor im general and in North Carolina in particular, and we therefore call upon union men and friends every- where to prevent his election as governor.’’ The above resolution was taken from the minutes of a regular meeting of Local 277, Amalgamat- ed Woodworkers, and signed by W. G. Bradford, secretary. Thursday morning, Oct. 29. 1908 ++ Bauks Will Close Tuesday. For the first time in their his- tory the banks of this city will ob- serve Tuesday, election day in the stat2 anj uatien.

In speaking of his reception at Madison Square Garden, the New York World says: “Mr. Bryan has undoubtedly witnessed many demonstrations sunilar to that which greeted him last night but none, perhaps, that ever eclipsed it in volume and ap- parent sincerity. After reaching the platform, elevted 20 feet above the floor at the north end of the Garden, he was compelled to stand until the audience had exhausted the full measure of its weleome. ““And it was most enthusiastic one. Mr. Bryan sought several times to stay the tumult of cheers, the thunderous rhythm of measur- ed stamping of feet, the shrieking of all manner of friendly express- ions, the flutter of flags and hand- kerchiefs. “He tried earnestly and sincere- ly as a man who has a message to deliver and who is intent on deliv- ering it. But finally when he re- alized the futility of suppressing he riot before him.he grinned with boyish amiability, dragged a chair to the front of the forum and with a surrendering gesture of his arms sank into it to wait until the de- monstration had died away. ‘‘Thrice he arose from the chair and with uplifted arms attempted to gain a hearing, but each time there started from some remote part of the hall another outbreak of cheers and cries of all sorts. “*It was full nine minutes from the moment that he appeared at the rim of the platform before there broke out in one of the gal- leries a lusky bass voice leading in the singing of ‘‘The Star Spang- led Banner.’”? Like a train of lighted powder the national an- them swept over the hall, the band adding the erash of its brass and drums, and Mr. Bryan like every other man and woman in the hall. sprang from his seat and stood alert until the last strain of the anthem had died away.’’ That was a demonstration from the heart of the people. It was a demonstration against Republican- ism. A demonstration for democ- } racy; a patriotic demonstration for the Republie of America. The people are thoroughly ar- roused, not only in New York but everywhere, and there is every in- dication of a democratic land slide next Puesday.

Judge of my pleasant surprise when I first used Hyomei, which brought complete relief. Hyomei has been a veritable god- send.’”’—Rev. Charles Hartley, Sardina, Ohio. Thousands of catarrh sufferers have given up in despair. They have tried stomach dosing. snuff, sprays and douches without suc- cess, and now believe eatarrh te be ineurgble. 3ut the Statesville Drug Co., the druggists, holds out hope to all distressed. They sell a remedy called Hyomei which is guaran- teed for catarrh, colds, coughs, bronchitis, asthma and croup. Ifyomei (pronounced High-o- me) is medicated air, full of the healthy virtues of the mountain pines. You breathe in the de- lightful antiseptic air, and as it passes over the inflamed and germ ridden membrane, it allays the in- “ammation, drives out the disease. A. complete Hyomei outfit, in- cluding a hard rubber inhaler, costs but $1.00 and an extra bottle of Hyomei, if afterwards needed, costs by 50 cents. See the States- ville Drug Co., about it today. -><apro A Concrete Residence. Mr. C. 8.

This is said to be due in part to the unfavorable sea- sons. particularly the heavy flood the latter part of August which killed out a number of the younger birds. Farmers might do well this season to offer every possible protection to the limited number of birds that survived the rains of August. The birds are among the farmer’s best friends, and tre therefore worthy of his especial protection—Wax- haw Enterprise. ———_+<+@>-—____ ‘Had dyspepsia or indigestion for years.

Fresh roses in thy hand, Buds on thy pillow laid, Haste from this fearful land, Where flowers so quickly fade. But thy loving smile was fair, Thy lips and eyes so bright, And thy cradle care Was such a fond delight. Yet again we hope to meet thee, When the day of life is fled, Then in heaven with joy to greet thee. Where no farewell tear is shed. There is a home of sweet a.

Mere Babe _ Assualted HORRIBLE CRIME CHARGED. Virginia Negro is in Jail at Salis- bury on a Complaint Made by Mother of 2 Seven Year Old Girl—Story is Uuprintable. ... The Salisbury Post says: A horrible story that led to the arrest of Carlton Jackson, a Nor- folk, Va., negro, yesterday after- noon was told the officers by Mary Davis, a negress, who lives in Mon- key Bottom. The woman alleged that Jackson had criminally as- saulted her 7-year-old daughter and Jackson who was soon located was jailed, This morning Dr. I. H. Foust Foust, county superintendent of health, visited the woman’s home and his investigations confirmed to an extent the fearful tale of the mother. The connecting links against the negro are unprintable for the story is one of the most revolting ever known to Salisbury officers. Jackson is held without bond and will be tried for his life at the November term of superior court. ———_~+ > All Cotton Mills Will Soon Begin To Run on Full Time. The Continental Mills, after sev- eral months’ shut-down, have just started up; the Fidelity Mills are again in operation, and the Ather- ton work will be begun on full time this week. By the close of the week if is stated that not a cotton mill in the city will be idle. The present stagnation and glut in the eotton goods market, which began more than a year ago, ap- pears to be passing away with the advent of the new season and a general looking up of cotton pro- duets all along the line. It has been perhaps consider- ably more than a year since all of the mills of the city have been running is regarded as being most. significant. It is a long step for- ward towards a resumption of former conditions and inereased prosperity in the country here- abouts. There is a general tendency to- wards manufacture of the higher grades of yarns and the higher numbers according to a well post- ed mill man who was discussing the question today. Years ago there was little market for any but the coarse yarn, say 20’s, but now the average of the demand has risen fifteen to twenty num- bers, so that the present average may be said to be close to numebr 40’s. This means that the aver- age grade of goods being manu- factured is finer than it was when: the cottom mill industry was just beginning to be a leading indus- try in the south. The entire trend of the textile trade now is to- wards the higher numbers and the finer grades of cloth. —__++@r-o—_—__—— Prosperiety Note.

Nine months ago Flake, the three and a half year old son of Rey. and Mrs. A. B. Smith, of Chesterfield connty, commenced suffering from some nose trouble his parents could not locate. Every day bloody mucous ran from his nose and finally Mr. and Mrs. Smith beeame uneasy and earried him to Charlotte to consult a spe- cialist. The specialist after ex- amining the child stated that the bone of the nose was diseased an that an operation would be repair- ed to heal the organ. The opera- tion was not then performed but for some reason was postponed until a future day. Yesterday Mr. Smith brought the child here to consult Dr. Waki: field, the eye, ear, nose and throat specialist. The doctor after a eareful examination. located the trouble and proceeded to remove a ectton seed from the little fel- low's nose. The seed which was iodged high up in the nostril, had not apparently affected the child’s ecneral breath. —__++@o———— Reformation Day. ‘Aceording to the Lutheran faith tomorrow will be Reforma- tion Day.

C., Saturday The Ex-Sherif Is Convicted AFTER MAKING CONFESSION. Defalcating Official Sentenced to Four Months in Jail and Four Years in Penitentiary—Con- fesses That he Lost all of the $28,000 he Stole in Dealing in Cotton and Corn Futures. —_—— defaulting ex-Sheriff and Treasur- er A. W. Aman, of Sampson coun- ty, ended here last night. Aman entered a plea of guilty upon two charges of embezzlement and for the first was sentenced to impris- onment in the county jail for a term of four months. For the second he was sentenced to a term of four years’ imprisonment in the penitentiary to begin at the expiration of the jail sentence. A verdict of not guilty was rendered in the ease for forgery. The forgery consisted in ‘the alteration of figures in the settle ment book. While the hand- handwriting in the body was ad- mitted to be that of men concern- Led in the settlement other than Aman, the figures were those of some one else and no witness could swear who made _ these figures, hence a verdict of not guilty. In a confession made in open eourt Aman said ,that he lost $6,000 in corn futures in 1904; that he lost ‘all he was shortin speculation in corn and cotton and in his mercantile business, and and that he never took away with him a cent of the county’s money. He said his official and personal accounts got mixed; that he took money from his business to pay the county script when the county treasury had no funds and that h@ tried to sell all the property he had to make a settlement with the county. The total shortage of Aman as treasurer amounted to $28,000, of which the bondsmen made good about $20,000, the re- mainder of $8,000 being derived from his personal estaate. His faleation has generated a great deal of Iitigation and bitterness in Sampson county, including indict- ments and trials of the Republican county commissioners and a civil suit now pending wherein certain bondsmen seek to recover their losses from the commissioners wh made the settlement with Aman. W. A. Crumpler, late Republi- ean deputy treasurer of Sampson county, who was bound over upon a charge of forging jury tickets, forfeited his bond and_has gone to parts unknown. The case against him appears conclusive and his departure strengthens it. —_———4+-+ All About a Dog.

Tis Hallowe’en Eve. This is a favorite time for un- conventional parties and_ frolics, for, according to tradition, it is the night of all others when super- natural influences prevail; when spirits of the invisible and visible world walk abroad; for on this mystic evening it was_ believed that the human spirit was enabled, by the aid of supernatural power, ' to detach itself from the body and wander through the reaims of space. i - _____ A Good Story. “In an all-liepublican meeting upin the mountains not long ago a republican speaker demanded: “If there is a democrat here let him stand up!’’ A poor lone Dem- ocrat, in the rear of the hall was afraig to rise. Again the call eame. That time the Democrat rose. ‘* “Why pray, are you a Demo- erat asked the Republican. ***Beeause my daddy was, I guess,’’ was the meek reply. ‘** Well, what if your dady had been a sealawag or a jackass, what would you have been then?’’ ‘‘A Republican I guess.”’ **School closed. The Republi- ean had asked one too many ques- tions.”’ 2-4 - At the Opera House.

Standard Oil Magnate Declares That he Has Always Been a Re- publican and That he Believes That Mr, Taft is in Every Way Better Fitted for the Office to Which he Aspires Than the Democratic Candidate. New York, Oct. 30.—‘‘I expect to vote for William H. Taft,’’ says John D. Rockefeller, in a state- ment given out from the Standard Oil Company’s offices here last night. “If for no other reason, I sup- port Mr. Taft because on compar- paring him personally with Mr. Bryan, his chief opponent, I find the balance of fitness and temper- ament éntirely on his side. The election of Mr. Taft will, I believe, make for law and order and sta- bility of business. He is not a man, I judge, to adventure with rash experiments to impede a re- turn to prosperity by advocating measures subsersive of industrial progress, ‘“‘The question of candidates seems to me peculiarly a personal one in this campaign, as the lead- ing orators on both sides have not succeeded in drawing party lines, as based on platforms, with any, great clearness. I do, however, support the general Republican position on the tariff and the eur- rency. I have always been a Re- publican. “I feel the more impelled to an- swer this question because it can- not be said that the present ad- ministration has in any way what- ever favored the special interest to which my life has been devot- ed. That, however, does not ex- cuse me from publishing my opin- ion, and doing what I consider my duty as a citizen.”’ —__—+<4- Vashti Notes.

Among the cities in W hich Mr. Bryan spoke was Utica, the home eity of Mr. Sherman. He polled his audience on various planks in the Democratic platform—dixect election of senators, guaranteeing bank deposits ete., and simulated surprise when his audience de. elared in favor of them. Sherman closed a day of campaigning in the eastern part of New York with a night speech in Albany. Mr. Kern in better voice, spoke to large audiences in Indiana and ridiculed republican .talk of a panic in-teh event of Bryan’s elec- tion as coming from the party that can make panies ‘‘to order.”’ Wall street reported the latest | of jribly.
