Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 27.-—Two facts stood out strongly in the Coop- er-Sharp trial today for the murder ef former United States Senator Edward W. Carmack. One was the calling by the defense of Governor M. R. Patterson. The other was the failure of the state to cross-examine him. It has generally been con- ceded that—however innocently — Governor Patterson was one of the remote causes of the killing. Car- mack ran against Patterson for the Democratic nomination and lost. Colonel Cooper, former patron and friend of Carmack supported Patter- son. The newspaper fight began then did not end until the morning of the day of the tragedy. Throughout the testimony in the case the name ef Governor Patterson appeared continually and insistently. Finally Coionel Cooper testified that the gov- ernor sought and found him a few hoors before the tragedy. So the defense called the gover- nor today, did it reluctantly, some sav, gladly according to others. The governor testified twice, once before the court and again before the jury. To the court he told how he was called over the telephone by Colonel daughter. Mrs. Lucius 3urch. What Mrs. Burch told him ke did not say but it is known that the girl was in deadly terror and appealed to the Chief executive to use his influence to avert a tragedy. Whatever Mrs. Burch said so im- pressed the governor that he took his Cooper’s zied hunt for the colonel, commenc- ing at 9 a. m. and ending at the Max- well Hotel at noon, where he found Cooper. He described the .colonel’s anger and his declarations and told how he, Robin and Attorney Brad- ford soothed the old_ soldier and made him promise to let friends ar- range a peaceable settlement. Every interesting detail was revealed. Somhow the news got out that the governor was to testify and half an hour before he was called the empty seats began to fill. Soon one of tha higgest crowds of the trial jammed the court room. The throng listen- ed breathlessly to his every word. The governor is atrained public speaker and he used _ his voice to splendid effect, illustrating his words With gestures. After he had told his story to the court while the jury was out Judge Hart decided that the governor could not repeat the conversation at this conference but might state the re- sult of the conference and describe the colonel’s demeanor. The state declined to cross-examine today but reserved the right to re- call the governor later. This deci sion followed a long conference of the state’s attorney’s and none of them would explain it. ————++>>-o—__—_- - Correct, Professor. Prof. George T. Ladd, of Yale, ad- vanced an original idea for the pres- ervation of peace between Japan and the United States in a speech before the alumni of the Western Reserve University, at their annual dinner. “The craze for larger navies is un- economical, illogical, unmoral and un-Christian,’’ he said. ‘I could Settle all war talk in a short while, and I will tell you how 1 would do it. “I would take a battleship, place it in command of Captain Hobson. put on board a lot of Congressmen and editors, and send the ship to the middle of the Pacific. Then 1 would invite Japan to equip a ship in a Similar manner, and would let the two fight it out. There would be on hand a merchant ship to convey the survivors to some desert island in the South Seas and there I would let them livé together.

It was believed at the time to be the work of an incendiary and Deputy Sheriff Ward went to work on the case at once. He found tracks leading from the barn in a southeasterly direction to a branch where they ‘ended. Upon close in- vestigation it was found that the party making the tracks had taken to the water here, wading down the branch nearly 2a mile. At places where there was little current his tracks were still to be seen. They led toward a Mr. Brookshire’s home, and as Brookshire had made some threats against Caldwell, who is: his brother-in-law, Caldwell swore out a warrant before Justice of the Peace, Ww. W. Williamson, yesterday, charging him with the burning of his barn. Sheriff Ward served the pa- pers and Brookshire gave bond for his appearance here today for trial. He was tried this morning before Justice W. W. Williamson and J. A. Cain. The court decided that the circumstantial evidence against Brookshire was sufficiently strong to warrant their binding him over to ecurt un@ér a heavy bond. This is a heinous crime. A man who will thus torture dumb brutes, unable to help themselves deserve severe punishment. — ++ --—————_ Brushy Mountain Fruit Growers to Meet.

On the Same Footing as Those of\{ Other Aliens. Everett P. Wheeler, in New York Sun. The Japanese children whom it is proposed to exclude from the Cali- fornia schools are not American citi zens. They~ and their parents are, however, residents of California and are subject to taxation. Their par-! the right to expect that an American free education, and has the right to complain if an American state re- fuses to do so. By the treaty of November 22d, 1894, between the Wnited States and Japan it is agreed between the two nations that ‘‘the ettizeus or subjects of each contract- ing party shall enjoy in the territo- vies of the other the same privileges, liberties and rights’ as native citi- «ens or subjects of the most favored nation ‘‘in whatever relates to rights af residence.’’ Under the constitu- tion and laws of California all resi- dent children are entitled to educa- tion. it is therefore plain that by the agreement which this govern- ment has made the state of Califor- nia has no right to discriminate in educationdi matters against the chil dren of the Japanese. Under the eonsttution of the United States a treaty is the ‘‘supreme law of the hibited from making treaties with foreign nations. Therefore there ean be no question of state rignts. The supreme court has in many cases held the supremacy of treaty rights and enforced them in opposition to statutes of states. In this it was miy carrying out th memorable words of Abraham Lincoln-—‘‘Come what will, I will keep my faith with friend and foe.” j'very European country does ctaim the same rights for its citizens svsident in this country that Japan efaims who reside here, and the United States makes the same claim for protection to its citizens who re- side in foreign countries. The idea that resident aliens have no rights that citizens are bound to respect is a relic of barbarism. Fortunately, there is a constitution of the United States, and under that instrument aliens have the right to sue in the federal courts. Their rights have often been enforced in those courts when local prejudice has prevented justice being done in local courts. Let me add that there was a time when Japan excluded from its em- ‘pire citizens of foreign countries. At the éarnest request of the United States, Japan consented that Ameri- ican citizens should go to Japan and reside and do business there. The outcry on our part against the Jap- anese who conie here in pursuance of a treaty that we ourselves solicited and from which we have reaped great benefit. —————_++ > oe—__——_ “THE SPINSTER’S RETURN.

There is a touch of sentiment in this decision which Mr. Taft an- nounced tonight with the statement that had he become a member of the Supreme Court his oath would have ‘been taken on the same book. During the past few days there have been many offers of Bibles to the prospective President. He has not declined to receive the gifts, but his answer has been that it will be im- possible for him to receive them for ‘the purpose intended. It has been the custom of the past Presidents to use a new or an historic Bible in taking thir oath of office, and each has retained the book thereafter. ‘Mr. Taft will make no claim on tka ‘Bible of his choice, and it will go back to the archives of the ancient court, for which there are muny ev- idences of reverend respect and li» gering fondness on the part of Mr Roosevelt’s successor.

How to Keep Eggs. Eggs six months old are said to re- tain their new-laid freshness when preserved by this ‘process, adopted by a firm in the north of England: Acting on the theory that an egg decomposes owing to the entrance of bacteria through the shell, the ezgzs, by the new process of preser- vation, are first disinfected and then tmmersed in a vessel of hot parafin wax ina vacuum. The air in the shell is extracted by the vacuum, and atmospheric pressure is then al- lowed to enter the vessel when the hot wax is~pressed into the pores of the shell, which thus hermetically seals it. Evaporation of the con- tents of the egg, which has a harm- ful effect. is thereby prevented and lthe ege is practically sterile. ———_—~++ ao Old Citizen of Iredell Dié€s. Mr. W. N.

Man in Jail at Winston-Salem for Stealing From Kernersville Bank Tels How he Got Away With $2,250—Defense, it is Said. Will be Insanity. Winston-Salem, Feb. 26.—Gaither C. Bodenhamer, of Kernersville, who waived examination before a magis- trate on a charge of robbing the Forsyth Bank and Trust Company, of Kernersville of $2,250, and was held in default ‘of $2,000 bond, tall:- ed to a newspaper man today in the jail here where he was brought from Kernersville last night. In the party &.so were Sheriff Ziglar, Mr. T. S fieshman and Mr C. M. McKaughan. Bodenhamer at first sight of his visitors tried to hide his face in his coat, but finally talked frankly enough... He said he took the money while the cashier of the bank, Mr. J. M. Guyer, was away at dinner, effecting entrance into the bank by slipping his hand through an open- ing in the door and lifting the latch ‘rom the inside: The money was in the bank’s reserve vault and Boden- hamer took only a part of the money in sight, he says, leaving other coin there. He said he could give no reason for the act. He buried a por- tion of the bills in a fruit jar under some steps that afternoon and left Kernersville two days later, going to Washington and New York. He says he did not spend more than $250, besides $450 fo ra diamond ring and $40 for a diamond shirt stud. He doubted that he had taken as much as $2,250. The man described how he was captured by detectives in a hotel in Washington, he having opened his room door upon the request of a bell boy who said he had a telegram for Bodenhamer. It is likely that the defense will be insanity. <4 —_ Must Remain Territories.

The evangelist was learning against the pulpit when a power- ful man who later said his name was Sherman Potts, sprang for- ward and struck Sendav several terrific blows with a buggy whip. Sunday leaped from the plat- gorm and dashed his assailant to the floor in the center aisle. The audience was on the vorge of a panic, with women weepirg and childred screaming while Potts and Sunday rolled and tumbled in the aisle. Mr Fischer, thechoir leader, di- rected the choir and the audience to sing, and ina few momennts the entire audience was calmed, faw leaving their seats. Several men soon seized Potts and they held him until policeman came and took him to jail. Sunday said he suffered several painful bruises from the buggy whip. The prisoner his home was near Livington Ill. He made the attack, he said, in defence of the virtue of women which he declared, had been crit- icised by.the evangelist.

A cold often forms & culture bed for germs of in- fectious disease. Consumption, pneumonia, diptheria and scarlet fevcer, four of the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are of this class. Thec ulture bed formed by the cold favors the development of the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment.

Washington, Feb. 26.—Because of reports of uneasiness in Central America growing out of important military activities in Nicaragua, the state department haS”“asked that one or more vessels be sent to Amapala. on the west coast, to watch develop- ments and report on the situation. The information on which the state department is acting came from John H. Gregory, Jr., the secretary of the legation at Managua, the cap- ital of Nicaragua. Ocials deemed the information to be of sufficient im- portance to warrant preparation for any eventualities. Recent unofficial dispatches from Central America have indyicated a feeling somewhat akin to that reported to the state de- partment, but have met with de- nials from similar sources. The stafe department has done its utmost in offering its good offices to main- tain peaceful conditions in Central America. —_——__4++@>o——_——- Most disfiguring skin eruptions, scrofula, pimples, rashes, etc., are due to impure blood.

Feb. 27.—The Southern negro anti-saloon federa- tion, closing 2 three days’ convention here, adopted a resolution eulogizing the “splendid movement now being carried forward by our white neigh- bors’’ for prohibition. The resolution says: ‘“‘The leaders in our ministry are a unit against this course. We deny the statement often made by the friends of the sa- loon that as a race we can be counted upon to ally ourselves with their in- terests. We recognize that the sa- loon has been the source of the greater part of the crime committed by the weaker element of our race.” —_——_——_?-+@r-o———_——_ Dies at Fortress Monroe.

Many Statesville people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health, but there is no need to suffer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and permanently cured by the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Here is a Statesvlile citizen’s recommen- dation. Mrs, S. Revis, living at 212 Sev- enth St,, Statesville, N. C., says: “‘T can recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills as a remedy that acts up to its representations. I sent to Hall’s Drug store, and procured them while suffering from pains through the low- er part of my hack and frequent headaches which had caused me great distress. Their use improved my condition in every way. Doan’s Kidney Pills proved so satisfactory in my case that I do not hesitate to recommend them to other sufferers.’’ For sale by all dealers.

A Jew, from where we know not, } was in the city yesterday with quite , an array of goods, silks, woolens, ete., which he was offering to the ladies of the city at astounding low Some of the prices he made were splendid values, while others were not. He visited the home of a certain party of ladies in the city and displayed his wares and after some hesitation one of the ladies de- cided to take a pattern from a pretty peice of silk, a small quantity of which the Jew had with him. He wanted $1.00 per yard for it, but was finally dued down to 75 cents per yard. He stated that he would have to return to the hotel at which he was stopping and get the requir- ed amount of goods, and would re- turn presently. After some time he returned with the goo&s wrapped in a newspaper, With the the eager ex-. pectations of making the sale. Re- moving tire~paper from the package a bolt Of silk was displayed, but not of the same pafern or quality of the aforesaid piece. He said he would haé to charge a higher price for this pattern than he would for the other, which he _ priced at 75 cents per yard and immediately began measur- ing off the required amount, and cut it off. By this time the would be lady purchaser was boiling, and told him that she did not want any of his goods. H€Gid not bring what he bargained for and none of it would do. At this the Jew began pleading with the lady to buy the goods, going so far as to offer still another dis- count,“ut stim no trade. Finally in disperation, he stated that he wouid “> back and bring the first mention- ed-piece of goods to her but to this she refused. At lasi, after using all the inducements he could bring up, and offering the goods for any price, the fellow departed. It is an evident fact that the first mentioned piece of voods was very much superior in quality to the second piece of goods, and the Séw, knowing he had made a price that was too low on the first peice of goods, tried, by a slick scheme to pass off the inferior peice of goods upon the lady, but he did not succeed, for she was two sharpe for him. ++ To Appear in a Bathing Suit. When —“torence Davis makes her bow to patrons of comedy in this city on March 10th at the opera house, she will be seen in a costume rather out of the ordinary for legitimate comedy, for in one act the play re- quires her to wear a bathing suit. The fair sex, who make up a large proportion of Miss Davis’s audience wherever she appears, will be inter- ested in the announcement that she has resigned a new “‘creation”’ in the line of bathing apparel. which she wears in this scene. The local of the play is principally in forest fast- nesses. and depicts a charming syl- van romance of modern life, but fanciful as a fairy tale. Miss Davis and her company, which includes Elliott Dexter again this season, started their tour with a remarkably week’s engagement in New Orleans. “~wheree the newspapers all with one acoecrd pronounced the star, play, production and cast one of the most signal hits of several seasons, and the reviewers in all the cities she has visited have subscribed to the same verdict. The Garrick ‘New York) production is to be seen intact, and the Garrick management are said to have surrounded Miss Davis with most capable support. ——_—_—_~++> 2 —___ ™ie Spinsters’ Return. The young ladies of the College delightfully entertained a small but very appreciative audience last night in Shearer Hall with the truly hu- morous “Spinsters’ Return.” The young ladies showed themselves to be posssessed of marked ability, both in the acting of their parts and make-up: “Snie play is a sequel to the “Old Maids’ Convention,” and is a re-assembly of this justly famous body of feminine charmers for the purpose of relating their experience among the men of the Alaskan gold fields, whither they had journeyed in search of relief from the trials and tribulations of spinsterhood.

Broadus Morehead Dead and Two Others Wounded as the R&sult of a Mysterious Misunderstanding in Rutherford County Saturday Night —The Two Survivors Flee to South Carolina. Rutherfordton, March 1.—Broad- us Morehead was killed as a result of a difficulty between himself, Coley Fisher and Charles Stamey. The facts, at this time, are as fol- lows: The three young men were in Herbert Smith’s barber shop, when Moorehead and Fisher became in- volved in a quarrel over a young lady that both were paying attention ‘to, when it is said that Stamey butted in, and took sides with Fisher. The young men became so boisterous that they were ordered out of the house. As they left the house Moorehead had his knife in his hand, and Stamey a pistol, that he had been snapping and flourishing around in the shop. It is not known what happened outside but it is asid that Moorehead was shot through the chin, and theb ullet ranging down- ward, entered the neek and windpipe, killing him almost instantly. Both the-ofher men were cut with a knife, Fisher faring the worst of the two. Immediately after the killing Fish- er and Stamey fled to Gaffney, S. C., and there gave themselves up to an officer early Sunday morning. It is said that Fisher was so weak from the loss of blood that he was unable to go iurther and he sent for a phy- sician and the officers at the same time. Sheriff Tanner, who was on the lookout for the men, was imme- diately notified of their destination, and left for them. He returned with the wrisoners and safely landed them in the county jail here today. They refuse to talk and only state that they were cut by Moorehead. Moorehead and Fisher were here- tofore considered quiet and industri- ous citizens of their home town. Stamey s a new comer, having re- sided at Caroleen only a short time, and is reported as being quarrelsome and recently traveled with a circus. He stated on the night of the killing that he was a desperado| and was looking for trouble.” It. is <ought that Stamey was responsible for the killing. ———++ a> Mrs. Ed Finley of North Wilkesboro Dead. { News of the death of Mrs. Ed Fin- ley of North Wilkesboro, which oc- cured in a Baltimore hospital Sun- day at 8 o’clock, was received here today.

Twice has his curse been defied; once in the days of King Ahab, and again under the Herods, during the Roman occupation. But in both cases destruction followed fast on the heels of the haunted city. Since the time of Emperor Vespa- sia it has lain hidden and forgoten under 2 plateau of shifting sand. The German scientists, under the di- rection of Prof, SeMin and Porf.

Over a foundation of natural rock was placed a filling of fine gravel. On this was buiit a slopping rubble wall 20 feet high and seven feet thick. Crowning this was the actual fortification in clay and brick. In the ruins of the city has been found much old pottery, which is of interest to the archeologist. Much of this is old Judaic in origin. From later investigations it is hoped to the excavations with ite, Israelite or Jewish.

The ~destruction of Jericho by Joshua, as told in the bible, is dated pack to 1451 B.C. It was rebuilt by B. C., and destroyed again by Simon, a Roman general.

Nashville, Tenn., March 1.—The spectacle of counsel on one side not only selling a witness to the opposi- tion, but haggling over the terms, was one of the elevating and extra- ordinary incidents today in the trial of Colonel Duncan B. Cooper and Robin Cooper and John D. Sharp for the slaying of former United States Senator Edward Carmack. The subject of the commercial trancas- tion was Dr. McPheeters Glasgow, one of the most eminent surgeons of the state, who had been employed by the proscution to go to Columbia and perform an autopsy on Senator Carmack’s body. He did so and re- ported his findings to the prosecu- tors. He was subpoenaed by the state but was not used. The defense learned of the autopsy and summon- ed the doctor. Now Dr. Glasbow is a very ethical man. He told counsel for the de- fense that his services as an expert had been retained by the state and that he would not discuss the case except with the Attorney General. The defense asked the court this morning to instructer the doctor to talk to its counsel. The court tor that it would be proper for him to talk with the defendants’ attor- neys if he had any information that would throw light on the killing. The state objected and the doctor stood firm. 5 The state suggested that the de- fense swear the doctor and put him on the stand. The defense resented the suggestion and declared it would put no wiiness on the stand without knowing to what he would testify. Then the state’s counsel made this astounding proposition; That if the defense would pay the state the costs of the autopsy, gow’s fee, the state would waiv eits rights. goods in the bag” and Dr. Glasgow became their witness. The significance of Dr. Glasgow’s testimony was that any one of the three wounds was necessarily and instantly fatal and that if the Sen- ator did noth fire the first shots he could not have fired at all. The only other sensational witness of the day was S. J. Binning, who claimed to have seen Senator Car- mack fingering his revolver and test- ing the cylinder a few moments be- fore the shooting began. He was badly confused on cross-examination, however, and contradicted himself on many important points. wards as the first witness an X-ray photo of Robin Cooper’s shoulder. The doctor was called upon to qualify as an expert by tell- ing what an X-ray was. He did so in scientific terms, to the great dis- gust of the jury, which is not above the ordinary in intelligence. He produced an X-ray photo of Robin’s shoulder, disclosing no bullet. On cross-examination Dr. Edwards said he was of the belief, from the scar on Robin’s shoulder, that the bullet never entered the body but merely ploughed through the flesh. ——_++ ao SNEEZE AWAKES YOUTH AFTER TEN-DAY TRANCE. Doctors Think it Removed Blood Ciot From His Brain. Bloomfield, March 1.—A sneezq probably saved the life of Wilbert Healy, a it-year-old boy, of 107 Broad street, who had lain in a death-like trance for ten days fol- lowing an injury while engaged in a basketball game. The boy was kept alive by the forcing of liquid food through his clenched teeth, but there was little hope of saving his life, and the surgeons were mystified by the case. Then the nurse, in arranging the pillows, shook some aust in the air. It entered Healy’s nose. “Kerchoo!”’ said the boy, as he sat up and looked around. The physicians believe that when he sneezed a clot, due to an injury, was dislodged from his brain. —-_<+@anr-r——— Mr. and Mrs. Sgiord Return. Mr. and Mrs. W. P.

We claim that if catching cold could be avoided some of the most dangerous and fatal diseases would never be heard of. A cold often forms n culture bed for germs of in- fectious disease. Consumption, pneumonia, diptheria and _ scarlet fevcer, four of the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are of this class. Thec ulture bed formed by the cold favors the development of the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment. There is little danger, however, of any of these diseases being contracted when @ good expectorant cough medicine like Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is used, It cleans out these culture beds that favor the devepopment of the germs of these diseases. That is why this remedy has proved so uni- versally successful in preventing pneumonia. It not only cures your cold quickly, but minimizes the risk of contracting these dangerous dis- easess.

Accident Occurs at Beck's Saw Mill Near Thotmasville—Son Killed, Father and Uncle Injured—Num- ber of Workmen Hurt. Thomasville, March 1.—Early this morning at Mr. Andrew Beck’s saw- mill, about five miles south of Thomasville a most awful explosion occurred, the tion comes as follows: The boiler was fired early this morning as usual about 6 o’clock, as the logs were being sawed it was noticed that water was low in the boiler, which was an old 30-horse- power boiler. As soon as cold water was turned into the boiler the ex- plosion resulted. Bertie Beck a son of Mr. Andrew Beck, the owner of the mill, was blown 75 feet away and was terribly crushed and mangled, being killed instantly. Hilley Beck and Andrew Beck, brothers and owners of the mill were badly injured in the head and body and were knocked down. The former is so badly injured that his chances of recovery are slight. The hands working about the mill were knocked down and_e received terrible jars. Parts of the _ boiler were blown 100 yards away. The explosion was heard two miles away. Doctors from here were quickly summoned and are now doing all they can for the injured. 2-44 Death of Mrs. W. S. Taylor. Salisbury, March 1—Mrs. W. S.

With the resignation of Dr. Crum a situation which threat ened to cause President elect Taft considerable embarrass- men’ is avoided. Noappoiatment made by President Roosevelt during either of bis administra tions has given rise to as much discussion as that of Dr. Crum, whose oppointment as collector at Charleston was vigorously opposed because of the fact that he isa negro.

PLANS A REVOLVING HOUSE. | X¢w York Jeweler Wants Sunshine on All Sides of His Home. National Contractor and Builder. William Reiman, a jeweler, of New York, has had plans drawn for a revolving house which he wil build at Rayside, L. I. It will be the result of many years of thought over the matter of genuine home comfort, for he has often Geclared that, with the advantages of modern appliances and electricity there seemed little reason for the sunny side of a house being in the sun all summer and the shady side being in the shade all winter. Mr. Reiman would have a home the windows of which may follow the sunshine in the winter or avoid itin the summer. The architect has studied the problem, and has com- pleted plans for such a home, which will be built at a cost of $35,000, ex- clusive the real estate., As proposed, the house will be constructed on a turn-table, which will be operated by electric power. The owner, in his library or bedroom, nay press a button and the house will swing to right or left, as he may desire. Sitting in his library window and Wwearying Of the view, he may turn the house around and get another vista without leaving his chair. Or, if the breeze shifts and the owner of the house finds himself cut off from it, he gives the alarm and moves his house around and around until he gets the breeze where he wants it. Of course sunshine and, shade will be at his command, and if he desires to sleep late and the light is in his win- dow, he presses the button near his bed and swings away from the east. The house was designed by Mr. Reiman himself, and the plans, as drawn, show that his scheme is em- inently practical. Mr. Reiman will have neither front nor back yard to his house. The lawn will be so laid out that the front entrance will fit any point of the compass.

To indicate the actual possibilities of forest development, the conditions in North Carolina may be taken as representative. Could a well-defined forest policy have been adopted in this state 25 years ago, not only might more timber have been cut than has been during the past 25 years, but in place of a yearly de- creasing cut of 35,000,000 feet, which is now taking place, there could easily have been secured by this time a yearly increased cut of more than 70,000,660 feet, with the prospects of producing in a few years more than twice the present annual cut from the existing forest aera. Every year of delay, however, in adoption of such a policy means many years of ioss for recuperation. It means the destruction of active capitai, repre- sented in young trees. which no amount of money can possibly re- place, for only time and care can again establish them. The South to- day Was an opportunity to actually develop its forest assets without in- terfering with their exploitafion. Further exploitations, however, with- out development will take place by exacting an enormous discount from the future earnings of its forests. ——++ @>-e——————_ HEARST LAWYER WINS. Haskell Forced by Court to Return Seized Papers. Guthrie, Okla., March 1.—Scott MacReynoids, of Brooklyn, N. Y., representative of Wm. R. Hearst to- @ay won in the supreme court a com- plete victory over Governor CON: Haskell in his suit ,to compel the governor to return certain papers seized at the instance of the gov- ernor. Judge Strang held that the writ of search and seizure issued under an affidavit signed by Governor Has- kell, alleging that MacReynolds had in his possession papers which he in- tended to publish, thereby libeling the governor, was without sufficient fact to justify the action of the of- ficers. The judge ordered that the papers anger property of Mr. MacRey- nolds be returned to him. ——_+<+anrr—————— Hackett Kills the Bill. The ocean Dill or ships subsidy in the house by a THE COOPER-SHARY TRIAL. Defense Rests Case—State Has More Witnesses. Nashville, Tenn., March 2.—The defense rested its case in chief to- day in the trial of Col. D. B. and Robin J. Tooper and John D. Sharp for the staying of former Senator E. W. Carmack, reserving the right however to Tntroduce new witnesses on any new issue which might devel- op. A moment later Attorney Gen- eral McCarn for the state asked an adjournment To 9 a. m. Thursday in order that absent witnesses might be brought on, which request was granted. The testimony today was very technical. Dr. Glasgow was re-called to describe the wounds on Senator Carmack’s body Dr. Duncan Eve was then called to say whether or not the wounds described by Dr. Glas- gow wouid have been instantly fatal. He said titéy would. Adjutant General Tully Brown, who atténded the conference in Judge Bradford's office an hour before the shooting, Gescribed what took place there, as did Judge Bradford him- self. Genérai Brown was not cross examinea but the state dtd not let Judge Bradford escape. The prosectuion concentrated its fire upon the part he played in pre- paring The famous statement for the press thé night of the killing. Judge Bradford said he was at the police station that night, saw W. J. Ewing, editor 6f The American there with a stenographer and heard several men giving information. He _ declared, however, that the only part he took in the affair was to write out in long hand all the facts in the case of which he had a personal knowledge. This memorandum he gave to Ewing for use in the press. Later he pre- pared a brief which contained the theory of the counsel for defense as to how the shooting occurred. He claimed he always’ was friendly to Carmack and denied that he was waiting at the telephone that after- noon for a message to come telling of Senator Carmack’s murder. The first witness today Dr. R. L. Thompson festified that Carmack en- tered his drug store for a soft drink and a cigar about five minutes before the shooting occurred. ‘The state did not cross examine. W. M. Setter, an expert on fire arms, testified that the bullets of the Colts automatic revolver were not steel jacketed but were covered with copper and with some hard compo- sition On cross-examination he was asked whether the cylinder of a Smith and Wesson revolver can be turned by the finger gvithout pulling the trigger. “Some can, some cannot,” he said. He examined Senator Carmack’s revolver and said it could be turned only by pulling the trigger. This flatly contradicts the testi- mony of S. J. Benning, who yester- day swore that he saw Senator Car- mack testing his Fevolver a few min- utes before the tragedy by whirling the cylinder with his finger. ———2-<- —_ SCHROEDER SUCCEEDS SPERRY.

A crisis will come when the pre- sent agreement expires March 31st. The situation is described in pamphlet iseued today, which, while not official, has the ap- proval of the operators. The three year agreement ex- pires March 31st. This agree- mertis practically identical with that of the Rocsevelt strike com- mission of 1902.

The Daring Scheme That Was Worked by a German Doctor. Near a small village in one of the lake states lived a western millionaire in seclusion with his little daughter and a few servants. The child was af- flicted with a rare cerebro spinal com- plaint, a most unpleasant manifesta- | tion of which was a frequent hic- | cough, and eminent physicians, both in America and Europe, had pronounc- ed the case organic and incurable. Later there came to live in the ril- lage a widow with a little girl affected similar to the millionaire’s d#ugheer. chiid was a delicate, flower faced creature, .wistful from the isolation that must have been Iter sad lot, and the peculiar bark-like hiccough which she made at once attracted the mil- Honajré’s attention, and, being a big hearted if rather ignorant man, he ve the mother employment about his me gnd showered the afflicted child with ‘presents. Perhaps four months after the wid- | ling at Black Jack, in this town- | ship, was -attacked ‘Tbrusday ow’s advent an eccentric German doc- tor settled in the village, and, his serv- ices being sought by the widow, he gave her child treatment, with the re- sult that it was completely cured. The milfonaire immediately sought to Place his own daughter under the German’s care, but the latter flatly re- fused to take the case. He was a Socialist of a violent type and would have nothing to do with a man whose iGaddy and one of Hamilton sons wealth exceeded the sum that he had fixed upon as the !awful limit of ma- terial possession. Finally, however, after the father bad patiently borne the grossest in- sults the German agreed to give the afflicted child treatment on condition that the other would first deed over a large tract of land in Texas for a So- elalist colony and pay him for his fee a2 sum little short of $50,000. This the millionaire did, but as soon as the doc- tor had cashed the check he disappear- ed with the widow and her child, and the weatthy man realized that, blinded by paterna! love, he had been made the victim of an ingenious swindle. T 2 fiorer faced girl of the widow had veen taught to simulate a disease, and the German was ro doubt her father. ™e «1s subsequently located *n Buenos Aires, but he injurcd man, ast wishires his daughter's affliction public +ed broadcast, dro, »ed the pros- ecution —Don Mark Lemon in Bohe- mian M«cazine EXE UTING MAZ=PCA. Peter the Great’s Odd Way of Punish- ing a Deserter. Peter the “reat, czar of Russia, pun- isheé a traitor on a notable occasion in a way ‘that the numerous victims of the present czar’s wrath might well wish wece still in vogue. Mezcppa, chieftain of the Cossacks, had deserted to the king of Sweden, with whom Peter was at war. Ma- zeppna was at once tried by court mar- tial and found guilty of high treason. Sentence of death was passed upon him. Mazeppa, however, was safely in the camp of the Swedish king, but this fact was not permitted to stand in the way of the carrying out of every part ef the sentence. A wooden effigy of Maseppa was made, and the punish- ments wore inflicted upon the Cossack ciigfeaia’s substitute. The effigy was first dressed in Ma- seppe’s uniform, and upon its breast were pinned all of the medals, ribbons and other decorations that the real cul- prit had worn. While the commanding general and @ squadron of cavalry stood near an Officer advanced to the wooden man and read the sentence. Then another officer wrenched off the effigy’s patent of knighthood and his other decora- tions, tore them up and trampled upon them. This done, he struck the wood- en gentleman a powerful blow in the pit of the stomach, knocking him over. Next a hangman appeared. While the goldiers shouted he threw a noose over the imitation Mazeppa’s head and drag- where it was “hanged by the neck until it was dead.”—Scrap Book. Could Handle a Shovel. The foreman Of a Chicago iron mill once employed a tramp who had been a college baseball champion. Their acquaintance began in a way that showed the tramp still to be game and cheery. It was a cold autumn dawn, and the tramp had slept in front of a furnace on a warm stone. The fore- man, being short of laborers, on his morning viour of inspection spied the fellow and thought he would give him a job. “My man,” he said, “can you do any: thing with a shovel?’ “Weil, I could fry a piece of ham on it.”—Minneapolis Journal.

The storm that swept over a part of this state yesterday shortly after the noon hour was almost cyclonic in its suddenness. Reports from a number of towns give accounts of serious damage to property. At Goldsboro the electric wires were put out of commission and fences were leveled with the ground of the city. In the manufacturing dis- tricts of the city, sreat damage was done to the roofs and smokestacks. The smokestacks of the Utility and the A. T. Griffin Manufacturing Companies, and the Enterprise Lum- ber Company’s mill were blown down, and a large section of the roof was lifted off the freight ware- house of the Sduthern Railway com- pany and carried a block away. A number of tenant houses in the vi- cinity of the Borden Cotton Mills were demolished. At the Harwell farm near the river, Harry Richard- son, a negro, who lived in Goldsboro, and worked on the farm, took shel- ter with a team of mules under the shed of a barn. The barn was blown down, killing both him and the mules. - The smokestack of the Goldsboro light and pumping station was blown down and the plant was oth- erwise damaged to such extent that the city will be without lights for several Gays. An Atlantic Coast Line train of 55 freight cars, while standing at a water tank at Dudley, was struck the certer of the string, and six em- pties were blown from the rails. No one was injured and there was no freight loss. A wrecking crew was sent out from Wilmington and suc- ceeded in clearing the line last night. At Fayetteville the damage was also very severe.

The passenger train from Ral- eigh, due to arrive here at 7:15 p. mn., brings a pullman car which is {transferred to southbound train No. 43, and it was Nunn’s duty to assist in switching the car. Just how he was injured is not known. but it is thought that he was endeavoring to cut the a'r brakes when he was e ught between the bumpers. A few minutes later Yardmast- er Patterson chanced to pass the Davie street crossing and he saw Nunn staggering around He caught him and assisted him to the yard office and by the time they reached it Nunn became ex- hausted. A physician was hur- riedly summoned and Nunn was taken to the hospital. An ex- amination showed that his lungs had been horribly crushed and he had a number a bruises about his body. He ws unable to tell how the accident occurred and as no one witnesssed it the facts will never be known. Nunn’s home was in Rock Hill, S. C., and his relatives there were notified last night. His re- mains will be taken there for burial tomorrow. The deceased was only 21 years old. He was a member of Tar Heel Lodge No. 594 Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and a dele gation from that order will at- tend the funeral and burial at Rock Hill. ——_ —-++@aro———— 10 ITALIANS DIE IN FIRE.

Mol Pa USE KNUCKS IN FIGHT? Sharpe Smith Uses a Pair of Knucks Upon Walter Chapman— Tried Before Judge Turner This Afternoon. As we go to press Sharpe Smith, a young white man is on trial be- tore Judge W. W. Turner, alleged with having struck Walter Chapman wii a pair of knucks, and inflicting a very painful wound upon the left cheek, arso blacking his eye consid- erably. 3 E Mr. Chapman’s side of the affair is that Smith ‘had broken a piece of machinery at the Bloomfield cotton mill a lew aa@ys ago, and had come to the miu This “morning to work enough to pay for the repair on the machinery. Smith wore his father’s trousers to the mill, and remarked to Mr. Chapman, who is foreman, that he was only going to work long enough to pay for the repair on the machinery, whereupon Mr. Chapman told him that he had better work longer and make money enough to buy himself. some trousers so he would not have to wear his father’s trousers-~ Smith became angry at this and met Mr. Chapman as he was going to his dinner, and struck at him once with his open hand. He then ran his hand into his hip pocket and started towards Chapman, striking him very suddenly on the |} face, with what Mr. Chapman took to be a pair of knucks. Mr. Chap- man says he struck at Smith one time but 414 not hit him. a OO Two Deaths Near Bryantville. B.

Before Throng of Thousands Presi, dent-elect Takes Oath—Officials of This and Many Other Nations . Witmess Impressive Scene. Washington, March 4.—Standing where Lincoln stood, where Grant stood, where McKinley stood, and in the presence of the man who was laying down the affairs cf state which he had directed for the past seven years William Howard Taft today spoke the words which made him president of the United States for the next quadrennial period. The ceremony, as imposing as any aver held, wasconducted with con- gress, the supreme court, the diplo- matic representattyés of foreign gov- ernments' with all of Washington officialdom, looking on, and—more ‘important still—in the presence of thousands of Americans, men, wo- men and children, from all walks of life. 7 ; When Mr. Taft rose ‘to take the oath of office> on the great stage ereeted beneath the sweeping wings of the capitol building, he faced a scene of almost indescriable impres- Siveness and beauty. Before him stretched a solid mass of humanity. The broad plaza was thronged, and every street leading to the capitol was filled with additional thousands who, unable to get within hearing, contented themselves with merely looking on from a distance. From the insfant the presdent and presdent-elect entered from the ‘White house “door, shortly after eleven o'clock, on their way to the ‘carriage which was to convey them to the capitol, Roosevelt and Taft shared equally the public acclaim. And from that moment to the con- clusion of the inaugural ceremonies in front of the capitol they were side by side—the two central figures in the great historic picture of today. They rode together from the White house through hstory-laden Pennsy]l- vania avenue to the capitol; appear- ed together in the president’s room in the senate wing, entered senate chamber arm in arm to attend the induction into office, of James S. Sherman, as vice president of ‘the United States, and finally they marched side. by side through the | main corridors of the capitol, passed together through the great bronze doors on the East Front of the build- ing, and out into that vast sky-can- Opied auditorium, where, face to rfaee, still together, they were with the American people. Just béfore the beginning of the inside proceedings, President Roose- rvelt and President-elect Taft entered the senate chamber and took chairs dirctly in front of ‘the rostrum. Seated near them were members of ‘the diplomatic eorps, whose gor- geous uniforms gave. practically the only touch of color to the assem- blage on the floor of the chamber of state. Justices of the supreme court of the United States in their sombre robes of office were seated near the president-elect. On the right the senators were seated, while to the left were members of the House of Representatives. The galleries were tnronged with a brilliant assemblage, in which wo- men largely predominated. Their modish gowns and bright hats gave a gala appearance to the upper por- tion of the house. Mrs. Taft and j ‘Mrs. Roosevelt were the centers of attraction. Until the ceremony ac- tually began, the families of the in- coming and outgoing presidents were the most conspicuous figures in a niemorable gathering. There were no decorations in the chamber to emphasfze the signifi- cance of the occasion, and none were needed. The proceedings were conducted with solemnity, and when Mr. Sherman rafsed his right hand ‘at the first words of Vice-President Fairbanks, as he administered the oath of office, absolute quiet prevail- ed except for the impressive tones of the presiding officer’s voice. At the conclusion of the brief ceremony the _ president and the president-elect and the other nota- bles left the chamber and proceeded to the grand stand in front of the building. : As Roosevelt and Taft emerged trom the shadow of the great dome officers halted their commands, and a spontaneous ovation from thou- sands of men, women and children ‘was hurled at the heads of these two distinguished men. Practically all of Washington society was on the platform, and as far as the eye could reach—to the _ east, to the north and to the south, the great mass of unofficial and -uninvited, 3 but much appreciated and thorough- | ~ MASCOT.

Wadesboro, March 4.—Owing to litigation between opposing interests the development of the power plant at Blewett’s Falls has stopped. The hands, except those left to protect the propery, have been discharged. Many laborers have gone to Blacksburg, S. C., on similar work in progress. Two million dollars have already been expended at Blewett’s Falls, and it is estimated the com- pletion, of the power plant will re- quire almost that amount. ——~+a>e—__—__ Limit Of Laziness. Two darkies lay sprawled on the levee on a hot day, says Judge, George Washington drew a long sigh and said: ‘‘Ah wish Ah had a hun- dred -watermillions.” Dixie’s eyes lighted. “Hum! Dat would suttenly be fine! An’ ef yo had a hun’d watermillions, would yo° gud me fifty?” “No, Ah wouldn’t.’’ “Wouldn’t yo’ gib me _ twenty- five?” “No Afi wouldn’t gib twenty-five.> Dixie gazed with reproachful eyes at his close-fisted friend. “Seems to me you’s powahful stingy, George Washington,” he said; and then con- tinued in a heartbroken’ voice “wouldn’t yo’ gib me one?” “No. Ah wouldn’t gib yo’ one.

C., was locked up here fonight and will be held pend- ing identification. The negro was ‘at work in the Southern tunnel when ‘arrested. Rewards of $450 have been ofi§rea for the negro’s arrest. i ly welcome, humanity was packed. Mr. Taft stood for an _ instant and 1ooked out over the sea of faces, the” faces of his own people. The cheers of the great multitude echoed. and re-echoed throughout the entire vicinity of Capitol Mill. Those who could not see understood that the crowning act of the drama of the day, and they joined in the genera] acclaim. Only a short time elapsed before Mr. Taft turned from this inspiring view of: American life to Chief Justice Fullér when that dignitary arose and prepared to administer the oath. Half a minute later Mr. Taft had spoken the words which made him the Twenty-sixth president of the United States. He kissed the Bible as the conclusion act of inau- guration, and the sacred volume used for the occasion will hereafter repose in the Taft home as its most prized possession. There were many demonstrations of popular approval before President Taft, raising his hand and broadening his genial smile, succeeded in restoring quiet and began his inaugural address. When the last words had been spoken the people on the stand rush- ed forward to congratulate the presi- dent. First and foremost came his family.* ‘Indeed, the president turn- ed instinctively toward them as he finished his address as though he were anxious that they should be the first to greet him. Then fol- lowed the greatest outburst of the day. The enthusiasm and patriot- ism of tfie thousands assembled in front of the capitol knew no bounds when Theodore Roosevelt, no longes a public servant, and William H. Taft, no longer a private citizen, stood before that great people and clasped hands in parting which led one to private life and freedom from official cares and the-other to the White house to take up the burdens " of state. ee ‘ BF + a ie ta a > me a s a pS Ee en ee - CS I It EO S I SS NM E D WO E2 3 - e8 in Rutherford county. po PMT I Se PO Te ee ec ee ? =CGo0o0o aN OSITIO Draugnuon gives contracts, packe THE EVENING MASCOT DAILY EXCEPT SUNDAY. ———— ae eee — 99 Court Street.

A cold often forms 2 culture bed for germs of in- fectious disease. Consumption, pneumonia, diptheria and _ scarlet fevcer, fovr of the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are of this class. Thec ulture bed formed by the cold favors the development of the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment. There is little danger, however, of any of these diseases being contracted when a@ good expectorant cough medicine like Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is used. It cleans out these culture beds that favor the devepopment of the germs of these diseases. That is why this remedy has proved so uni- versally successful in preventing pneumonia. It not only cures your cold quickly but minimizes the risk of contracting these dangerous dis- easess. For sale by all drugists. — —_++@>-e—_____ Can’t Blow Hot and Cold.

On the first day of the job he dug and dug, but made small progress. He went batk next morning only to find that what he had done the day before was entirely wiped out by a cave-in. Then a brilliant idea occurred to Pat. Half burying his pick and shovel in teh earth, leaving only the ends sticking out, he carefully threw his coat and diner paid over the edge of the cave-in and then hid In a short while people came along. took in thes ituation at a glance, jumped at the conclusion that the laborer had been caught in the fal! of the Bank and went to work has- tily trying to uncover his body. Half and hour later three sweating and puzzled men stood by the nearly completed ‘ditch and wonderea where the buried “man was. Then Pat came out from his retirement and said: ‘“‘Thank ye, gentlemen. ! knowed you'd bite on that’.’ +> --____ A Young Fool.

He has _ forgotten his board bill and his fréquent promises to pay. He has forgotten that the boss said to him not long since: “You are not making good young man. You better be more careful or I shall have to let you go.” The motto of the gang is: “Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow— who care for tomorrow?’’ The young chaps seemingly go on the theory that the only way to be happy fs fo make a fool of oneself, and they live up to their beliefs. They tip the waiters at the mid- night cafes. They pose in luxurious admiration of themselves. They are not drunk enough to run in. they are Just mellowed to asininity.

Washington, D. C., March 5.— President Taft today took his place at his desk in the ~eXecutive office building. Just as he entered the Office Secretary Philander C. Knox walked in, and the regime of the new executive of the nation was on at exactly 9:30 a. m. The nominations of Knox as secre- tary of state, of the entire Taft cabi- inet, and of Fred W. Carpenter to succeed William Loeb, as private secretary, were sent to the senate today. The president also sent to the sen- ate the nomination of Loeb to be collector of port of New York . The white house grounds are be- sieged by callers from out of town. The: nominations of Beekman of Winthrop, to be assistant secretary of the navy and Huntington Wilson to be assistant secretary of state have Deen sent to’the senate. Prsidénth Taft reviewed the 7t New York regiment today which ar- rived too tate for the inaugural na- rade. Creeping at a snail’s pace, heavily laden trains today bore away the inaugural crowds. Crippled tele- graph facilities last night made it impossible to operate trains. Seemingly the thousands who flocked to the city attempted to leave simultaneously, and the military or- ganizations which crowded the sta- and music. The republican members of the house committee on ways and means were informed by President Taft to- day that his special message to con- gress on the tariff would be very brief, exclusively on tariff, and would make no suggestion as to the char- acter of the revision. ——_+@-e——————_ OUT OF THE GINGER JAR.

States District Attorney Kealing at Indianapolis has resigned rather than participate in the efforts of the Department of Justice to bring De- lavan Smith and Joseph Pulitzer to Washington to stand trial for crimi- nal libel in connection with publica- tions concerning the Panama canal and oiher railroad.

During that time I have prosecutéa ati alike without fear or favor, where I had an honest belief {pv their guilt. “T have been compelled on several occasions to prosescute personal friends, but in each case I only did so after a thorough investigation haé eonvinced me of their guilt. “In this case, as to the guilt or in- nucence of the defendants on the question of libel T do not attempt to say.

Sharp for the murder of former United }States Senator Edward W Carmack. Not only did it tear to pieces what was left of the testimony of S. J. BinnMhg,the defense’s mytserious red bearded man who claimed to have seen the shooting, but it challenged the right of the Coopers to be on Seventh avenue at all the day of the killing. It did this by impeaching the testimony~of the Governor and athers wndo claimed the Coopers were invited to the Mansion and that while on their way there they met Carmack and a street duel followed. The bombardment of the case of the defense began early today when two witnesses swore that Binning on the night of the tragedy said to them: “If I had been five or ten minutes eariier I would have seen the kill- ing.”” Later in the day the state intro- duced the witnesses attacking the reason the defense gave for being on the street which Senator Carmack must traverse to get to his apart- ments. Adjuiant General Brown, General Bradford, Colonel Cooper and Robin Cooper had testified that after Colo- nel Cooper left Bradford’s office just before the shooting, General Brown re-called him to talk to the Governor over the telephone and that it was in obedience io the governor's command that the-nieén were on Seventh ave- nue, upon avhich is the Executive Mansien when they met Carmack. Two witnesses swore that after Colonel Cooper left Bradford’s office ne neither returned voluntarily nor was recalled to the telephone by any one. And one, Miss Daisy Lee, de- clared that instead of the governor calling the colonel, the colonel at Judge Bradford’s suggestion, called up the governor at the capitol. The latter testimony, however, was not permitted to reach the-jury. Yn rebuttal, too, the state attack- ed Judge Bradford, Miss Lee swore that he told her he could have shot Carmack himself with as little remorse as he would have shot a ratlesnake. She also swore that Paul Davis, another of the defense’s witnesses, declared to her he would perjure himself to get on the jury. When the sun had set and the bat- tle was over the state anonunced that it would have but two or three more witnesses to complete its case in rebuttal and that they would be put on tomorrow. The defense has not announced its purpose yet but ittS safe to say that the arguments will begin next week. No time limit will be put on either side. There are a score of lawyers in the case and the speeches doubt- less will ast for several days. Soon after court adjourned the state’s attorneys went into confer- ence. At 8 p. m. they emerged and Attorney General MecCarn held a warrant for the arrest of S. J. Bin- ning on a charge of perjury. The specific allegation is that when he testified that he saw Senator Car- mack twirling the cylinder of h's revolver, he swore toalie. The warrant was served at once. Georgia Woolen, one of the day’s first witnesses, was called by the state to testify as to, the location of the two telephone poles at the scene of the Tragedy. The object was tc pave the way for the introduction of photograph taken yesterday by the state of the poie still standing; to- gether with the dummy pole. At- torney Garner said: ‘“‘The defense, your honor, has tried to prove that Senator Carmack was south of the poles and fired be- tween them. We want to rebut this testimony by proving that he could not have done so.’’ Judge Hart would not admit Wool- en’s festimony unles the record shall show in detail that the position of the poles had not been proven. The avorneys were told to examine the record at their leisure, and the calling of witneses proceeded. —_—_—_—+ +<@-o—————_ Mrs. C. E. Sloan Il Mrs. C. E.

After the bill Teaves the house it will be in the hands of the senate committee on finance for some time before the debate begins. Then will begin a long wait by the house until the senate amendments are known and _ conferences ap- pointed to bring about an agree- men upon them. In view of the period of inactivity that would face each house should nothing be considered except the tariff, many senators are considering the adVfability of entering upon other legislation. The advocates of postal savings banks who were un-] able to secure legislation in the last session, believe there are abundant votes to pass such a measuge and point to the last form as giving proof that the ma- jority in congress, as well as the president, is pledged to postal sav- ings banks. 7 There are many advocates of a change of thé date of inauguration. Senator Dépew has introduced a res- olution proposing an amendment to the constitution to change the date ffom March 5th to the last Wednes- day in April. Advocates of statehood for New Mexico and Arizona do not desire to detay action until the regular session of congress because they fear th mass of lgat action which will then come up will crowd their claim to the background. The president’s veto of the census bill makes mandatory some action to provide for enumeration of the thirteenth census and_ while this might be delayed until early next winter, it May be disposed of at the extra session. =———_++oro—__—_—- VICTIM OF CURIOUS ACCIDENT.

While it may be advisable to spread manure on a hillside field when the ground is frozen, it is well enough to spread it on a plowed field that is nearly level. Trusting to memory till night, be- fore you set down money paid out, is dangerous. Do it right off. Carry a little book in your pocket and use whenever there is anything to make a minute of. re ee This {s-fhe season of the year for farm auctions. There is always a great temptation to buy things at such places; just because of the ex- citement of the moment. But don’t be led into getting stuff that you have no use for. It is simply a waste of money. The first spring days make us all uneasy to get out on fhe land to work; but, fellow farmers, we can gain time and be sure of better crops by just sitting sfill until the earth is dry enough fO work. There is no surer way to-spoll land than to work it when it is too wet. When you haul off the rubbish in the spriag do not dump it by the roadside. Haul it into some old, mossy, braky pasture and burn it up, Pile up the combustile material by itself. Dig a whole somewhere in the pasture and burry the old tin cans, old pails, efé. out of sight. | Before going down into a well test the purity of the air by lowering a lighted candle or fantern. If the light burns. dimly or goes out, the poisonous carbonic acid gas ‘‘damps’”’ can be driven out by ignoring a quan- tity of turpentine and sawdust or Kerosene-and rags, in a kettle, and lowering it to the surface of the water>"and-then later, pour several bucketfuls of water into the well from the top. Test again with the lantern, and note the improvement. We want Our Folks to be on the safe side. s a+ Stiff?’ Neck . Stiff neck is caused by rheumatism of the muscles of the neck.

The duration of the contest will be 144 hours. Five thousand dollars in prizes is offered by the mnanagement of which the winning team will get $1,500 and the next seven teams proportionate amounts. The team partners can relieve each other as often as they choose, but neither can be on the track more than twelve hours out of every twenty-four. By frequent refays it is expected that fast time will be made and all pre- vious records eclipsed. ~ The men who are competing were selected from the best professional talent in the world and fifteen coun- tries are represented in the contest. With fie crack of a pistol shot, twenty-seven men plunged forward as one man at 12.05 this morning. Incidentally the winners for the con- testants who are making the race in teams of two will get a prize of $1,500. Several other teams will receive cash prizes. Cheers greeted the athletes when they came on the track a few minutes after midnight. —_—__—__2-<< ro THRO’ THE MICROSCOPE. (Indianapolis News.)

The Ramsey-Bowles-Morrison Co., have the latest in the sporting goods in their show window at their store on Center street. It is in the shape of a pair of patent leather Oxfords, for men only, and at first glance one would think they were a pair of bull dogs. -They are covered with a dis- play of little fancy brass pieces, and to top the climax, they have a strap and buckle across the top of the foot, which very much favor a bull dog’s collar,-and to this, attached by a neat Titie brass lock, with a red strop, finished up nicely, with a red bow of ribbon, and a loop to put’the hand through, such as‘a lady would lead a poodle dog with. We are un- able to-fitta@ out ‘‘how come” these straps on the shoes. Some one sug- gested that the person. who made them, intended for the wearer to place his hands through to loop on the strap, and then place the hands in the trousers pocket, thereby ing a very sporty appearance. How soon this style will be intro- ducéd in the city we do not know, but it would go well with the trou- ers rolled half way up to the knees, of the sporting element of the male population. —____ ~+<<> > —__—_ “Under the Greenwood Tr€e.”’ A comedienne who has won her way to the highest ranks of dramatic stars during the past four seasons, Miss Florence Davis,will bid for favor here on March 10th at the’ opera house in’ the charming sylvan come- dy by Henry V.

The find was made Saturday morning by the owner of the property where the whale was washed ashore. He at once notified parties in Norfolk of the tind, and knowing that immense crowds would be sure to be attract- ed to the spot, he immediately erect- ed a fence around the mammoth sea animal, and when the throngs began to arrive he stationed himself at the gate to the enclosure and charged an admission fee of 10 cents. The electrte cars running from Norfolk down to the beach were crowded all day wifi the eager throngs of sight- seers, and’ were run in trains of 15 ears each. The gentleman who gives us our information says he tried for four hours to catch a car, but it was almost imipossible, so dense was the crowd.~ “A happening of this kind fs of very great interest, because of the rarity of the occurrence in a latitude so far south. Captains of a number of vessels at anchor at Norfolk give as their opinion that this whale followed in the wake of the great battleship fleet in its home coming, picking up the refuse that was thrown overboard from the-vartous ships of the feet, as it is known that whales do often follow ships at sea for hundreds of miles. —_—__—~<++@-o————— Mr. Holland Moving.

C., say that Mrs. George W. Van- derbilt, thé “tady of Biltmore, has re- vived the art of hand weaving among the women of @e nefghborhood. All that it was necessary for her to do of the hand looms, and the old ma- chines, if so simple an appliance can be called a machine, .were brought out of the lumber 4an@ garrets and put to work. But Mrs. Vanderbilt they generally very old ones, who! could operate the looms, and these tors for the yoOungrer ones. The fabrics manufactured in the old days before thee ivi] waron these hand looms were of the most substantial and enduring character, and a frock or a suit of clothes madé from them would last the- wearer many years. But, of course, it is a tedious pro- cess, and when the great woolen mills of The towns offered their eloths, which while new looked bet- ter than the homemade goods, at very low prices, it drove the hand looms out of business. The cheap cotton warp was what accomplished the ruin of the home industry. But the goods from the mills, such as were sold at low prices to the coun- try people, have no sort of compari- son in warmth or durability with the home made cloth. Mrs. Vander- bilt, it ig Said, has directed the at- tention of some fashionable folk in New York and Washington to the excetience of the homemade _ clioth, and if, she succeeds in making it fashionable the oid industry will be re-established. In the tidewater counties of Mary- tand, where slayes were numerous, the hand loom on the plantation was common. The wool clipped from the sheep on the farm was made into clothing for the people of the farm, and on every farm there was 2 spin- ning wheel, upon which some old woman spuk the yarn that others knitted tn warm, feavy stockings. In the western counties, where slaves were comparatively few and the wo- men Or the farm had less time for weaving there were small woolen mills in each neighborhood to which the farmers carried their own wool and had it woven into cloth linseys, and blankets or spun into yarn for the women to knit into stockings in the winter evenings. The coloring of all the fabrics made at the hand looms or in the woolen mills, was done according to order, and that made for the women was usually brilliant and nearly all dyed, except the blue, with komemade dyes.— Baltimore Sun. a | el Death of Capt.

Recently a man wrote to the New York Times saying that he was a little more than fifty years of age. and having worked all of his life to acquire enough money to make him independent. and having succeeded, he had retired, and was now trying to make himself happy with nothing to do. He passéd five hours a day ijn reading, three hours in exercise and eating, which left him eight bours, which he found it hard to dispose of. His letter ~ was in the nature of a lament. His bubble had burst. What he had dreamed of be- ing able to do all his life had come true. and was an empty vanity. Foolish man! The independence that. money brings with it is the least of all our independencies.— Farm Journal. 4 Lucky. Little Johnnie, who had been pray- ‘ng for some months for God to send him a baby brother, finally be- came discouraged. “‘I don’t believe God has any more little boys to send,” he told his mother, “and I’m going to quit it.” Early one morning not long after this he was taken into his mother’s room to see twin boys who had ar- rived in the night. Johnnie regard- ed them thoughtfully for some minutes ‘*Gee,”” he remarked, finally, “it’s a good thing I stopped praying when I did.’—Everybody’s Magazine. —o WOMANLY WISDOM. “You always have such a good time wherever you og.” ‘“‘That’s be- cause I take it with me.” Waterproof cloaks are apt to ary hard and rattling, but may be soften- ed by heating gently before a fire.

It is nearing the time when the careful housewife’s thoughts turn to the annual spring housecleaning and renovating, and in order to get the most work done with the mini- mum of discomfort, it is well to be- gin the work of preparation early, getting ready “by littles,”’ that these shajl be no unnecessary hindrances from neglected details when the sea- son for the work opens in earnest. The use of wall paper, painting, or tinting with patented preparations is now so general that very few homes are considered finished with- out the application of one or other of these decorative methods to the walls. If wall paper is used, too much thought can not be given to the matter as to colors, designs and styles suitable for the various rooms. Wecan not all be artists, or even artistic; but there are a few general rules which might be studied with profit. The darkest tones should be on the floor; the walls, a lighter color, and the ceiling lightest of all. Light colors make a room look larg- er, while dark colors seemingly contract space. Eastern and north- ern rooms require warm _ colo.s while southern and western rooms should be given the color lights. Where windows are lacking, light may be supplied in a measure by papering or tinting the walls and eeiling in very light colors. Glaring effects should be avoided; soft, flat, velvety colors and finishes are rest- ful to the eyes and nerves. No matter what agent is used for illu- minating, if the colors ‘‘eat up the light,’ as dark colors will, the room will not be light as where lighter colors are used. Dark colors ab- sorb light, and light colors reflect it. Where paper is used it is better tc get a plain paper—without figure or design—and of good quality. Figur- ed and many colored wall decora- tions have a bad effect on some nerves, inducing eye-strain, irrita- bility and taxing the brain and tem- per. Especially is this true in cases of prolonged sickness. <A few good pictures, portraying pleasing sub- jects, will sufficiently break the mo- notony of the long stretches of plain color, and if not restful, the pictures can be changed. five attention to, these matters while yet there is time. —_—_—_—_++ The Policies of President Tait The following are the policiesof President Taft as outlined in his in- augural address. Revision of the tariff, by special session of Congress which he will call to meet March 15, ona protect- ive basis, with maximum and mini- mum rates to be used in negotiation with countries that discriminate against the United States. Legislation to reinforce and sys- tematize the laws for regulation of railroad rates and corporations. Amendments of the Jaws so that business men can be “assured of the measure of stability and certainty in respect to those things that may be done and those that are prohibited, which is essen- tial to the Hfe and growth of all business.” More revenue must be ralsed to meet the increased cost of Govern ment and prevent a threatened de- ficit. If this cannot be secured by new tariff rates. he reccommends a graduated inheritance tax. Bonds to provide for Panama Can- al, and probably for an new system of inland waterwavs. — Efficient army, with provision for large and effective yolunteer forces. Strengthening of fortifications and coast defences. Strong navy to be maintained as “the best conservator of our peace with other nations.” Recommends that power be placed in the hands of the _ President, through the Federal courts, to en- force treaty obligations and - the rights of foreigners in States and cities.” * New monetary and bankins. laws to give greater elasticity to.

Book Agent Says we Need Some Ho- tels in This State—Was Starving to Death, and Would Have to Leave. ; A book agent blew into town yes- terday trying To sell a set of books entitled ‘“‘A Complete History ofthe South.” He ‘was offering a special rate, h€ said, per volume. The reg- ular price he said, was $10, but he would sell them-at the astounding low rate of $7.50 per volume. He visited the office of a certain physi- cian in this city and disposed of a Quantity of hot air or gas equal to that of the Tellow Meyers, who had such a pleasant stay in this city last ed in The Landmark last week, This fellow, we do not know, his name for the physician did not think enough of him to remember his his name,- was blowing about the Stated to the physician that there was only two or three in the state, that was fit fora man to stop at. Furthermore he told the physician, “I am starving, and if I do not get Poor fool, he ought to be dead. Poor fellow, he surely must have been reared in a land where angels reside, for North Carolina is noted for the good things we have to eat, For hotels and boarding houses, no other city of its size has any bet- ter than Sfatésville “has. In fact it boarding strangers have been heard to say they never saw better. i The fellow furthermore stated that @e did ot sell his books to ‘‘small schools, such as the female only being limited to large Univer- sities. It is strange why he stopped over in this place, for it is not re- nowned for anything it does not pos- sess. and a university is one of the things, although we ‘have one of the best college and graded schools here, that is to be found in the state. Of course he is nothing but a gas bag, and a big one at that, but still, no citizen of Statesville feels just right to have a thing come into the town and talk like this fellow did. Of course his name is, as the physi- cian said, no worth remembering, but we would like to have his com- plete address and let him see what we think of him. It might do him good. ——_ 4 —_—_- NEED A BALL TEAM. We Have Good Material, and a Good Park, Why Not the Team?

His speech was a masterpiece of oratory and had a noticeable effect upon the jury. General Washington, speaking of the digect of the Carmack editorials, gaid. / “When a man of national reputa- tion emblazons his name at the head of the paper, then people do read and believe.” He said that men with any red blood in their veins would resent having their names put on the same page with the name of a horse thief or a convict. Of the editorial of October 21st, mentioning Cooper’s name with oth- ers, General Washington vigorously explained that two of the ‘‘honor- ables’’ names were disreputable and that when Carmack associated Colo- net Cooper’s name with theirs, he committed the gravest offense 2 man could commit and affronted and in- sulted Colonel Cooper beyond endur- ance. He said he agreed that no editorial ever written justifies killing but that he was trying to show that Colonel Cooper’s anger was aroused. “we contend,” said Washington. “that Colonel Cooper had as much right on Seventh Avenue that day as Carmack had.

However, Sunday, Freeland Tharpe). drove there taking Miss Ethel Hoots, of the party, and returned earlier in the afternoon with her than did his brother and Miss Ball. Mrs. Hoots and Miss Ethel were seated upon the porch of the Hoot’s residence when the =brother of the defendant and Miss Bali returned. As she came up the steps Freeland Tharpe came out of the parlor on the porch with a pistol under a hander- chief and fired two shots at arm’s dis- tance at her, penetrating her chest near Tie heart. She ran around the house and up stairs into her room before collapsing. E The courtship had existed for two years, Miss Ball during that time having spent-one winter season in Robeson county, 1907-8, teaching, and wore a diamond ring of Freeland Tharpe. On the stand the witness saiag: “I positively was not engaged to be married to him,” but had told the defendant that she liked or lov- ed him; which she really believed at that time. During the stay in Robe- son county she wrote him of meeting some one whom she liked better and became engaged—the ring was re- turned after coming home prior to the injury. The taking of evidence may be finished today, Friday, by noon. In- sanity will probably be plead by the defense, the defendant having been injured in two wrecks.as express mes- senger.

Wadesboro, N. C., March 11.—A telephone message from Peachiand, twelve Miles west of Wadesboro. gives news of a peculiar shooting this morning. Two men, Cleveland Previtt and Fairley Moore, were in a wagon on their way to Peachland and while passing the house where Hugh Horne lives, heard a pistol shot and saw Horne standing at a window with a pistol in his hand. Moore fell from the wagon, shot. He was carried hastily to Peachland where physi- cians could not find the ball which entered the left side, under the arm. Moore stated that he never had any difficulty with Horne and did not know why he shot him. Moor was taken home, two miles south of Peachland, in a serious condition. A Warrant was issued for Horne. but was not served by the constable. who Says Horne is on guard at the house armed, and threatens to KM the first man who comes. The sheritf telephoned the consta ble to gather a posse of Horne’s friends and go after him, but the citizens are afraid to go.

The season for coughs and cofds is now at hand and too much care can- not be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to con- tract diphtheria or scarlet tever when he has a cold.

Starcher, of Ripley, W.

Why is it that many of the cashiers ) bookkeepers, bank tellers, corpora- | tion clerks, and people who serve ith public through glass windows or | across counters, are so pert and un- | obliging? Why is it necessary to | make a customer feel that he is a nuisance? | Publie officials, clerks, and attend- i ants in our public buildings and mu- nicipal offices are proverbially curt, |short and snappy.

How quickly you notice the atmos- a great | phere of a business house department store, for example. There | is as much difference between the feeling of good will, permeates the fatmosphere. You have a feling that every employee in the place would be glad to serve you if he could, and is anxious to please, whether you buy or not. There is evidence that the employer thinks a great deal of the character as well as the ability of his clerks, and that manners and deportment are never left out of consideration in their selection. In another house only a few blocks away you are ill at ease. Carelessness, indifference, and chillness prevade the place. You do not feel at home. There is the atmosphere. The em- ployees make you feel that they are doing you a favor in letting you see the goods, or giving you the oppor- tuniiy to purchase them with your money. The man who thinks he is going ito make a fortune without consider- ing the man at the other end of the bargain is very short sighted. In the long run the customers best good is the seller’s best good also; and, other things equal, the man succeeds best who satisfies his customers best and whose customers not only come back but always bring others with them.

Many Statesville people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and i] health, but there is no need to suffer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and permanently cured by the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Here is a Statesvlile citizen recqgmm en dation. Mrs, S. Revis, living at 212 Sev- enth St,, Statesville, N. C., says: “T ean recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills as a remedy that acts up to its} representations. I sent to Hall's Drug store, and procured them while suffering from pains through thelow- er part of my hack and frequent headaches which had caused me great distress. Their use improved my condition in every way. Doan’s Kidney Pills proved so satisfactory in my case that do not hesitate to aa getting well.

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 whWch rise perpendicularly from-the surface. The melon should be heavy. here 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 wil) be disappointing even with thorough culture and the best care in picking and shipping.—Baltimore American. Bore and Critic Both. Midnight came and still the bore re mained. “Do you like music?” asked the beau- tiful girl just to break the monotony. “Passionately fond of It,” replied the bore. “In fact, music will always earry me away.” She rushed over to the piano ane played several popular airs. “You are still here,” she said, tura fng on the stool “Yes,” yawned the bore. “But I thought you said music al- fways carried you away?” « “Bo I did—music!’—Dun 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 ehildren’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- as that of memory. — Stuttgart milienblatt.

An exhibition of the relics of Dr. Samuel Johnson in London recalled some of the remarkable definitions that remarkable man inserted in his dictionary. Among them not the least curious was the one given for “network,” which was defined as “anything reticulated or decussa at equal distances, with interstic between the intersections.” Other amusing definitions are: “Cough— @ convulsion of the lungs vellicated by some shar serosity.” “Man—not &® woman, not a boy, not a beast.” “Pension—an allowance made to any one without an equivalent. In England it is generally understood to meait pay to a state hireling for treason to his country.” Mere Sightseers. “The chief trouble of the min- ers,” says an official of Alaska, “is the lack of variety in their food. One day a young fellow fresh from his lot turned into Seattle and en- tered a hotel. “Bring me some pork and beans,’ was his request. The food was brought. ‘Now bring me three dozen oysters.” The waiter com- lied. With the two dishes before fim the miner proceeded to say: ‘Well, pork and beans, you have been very friendly to me all my days in Alaska. You have ee me like good fellows.

Men who don’t succeed are the ex- coesen and not the rule. Not all of isuecess can be viewed alike.

Therefore the men who don’t succeed are those: Who expect to begin at the top in- stead of climbing there. until they make a nuisance of them- selves. Who are not thorough and con- scientious about their work. Who keep their eyes on the clock, fearful that they may give their em- plover 2 moment or two or overtime.

Push it up grade to a positfon where it-ought to be, and as sure as you are alive you will push your own business up with it to a point you never dreamed of before. a When a man tells me that he reaches more people and gets better results from his circulars I know that he is deceiving himself and tell- ing me what I can prove to be un- true. A newspaper in the commun- ity is read by the pepple. They learn to watch for it, and when they get it every member of the family wants his turn to see what it sars. Ads and all are read. If the mer- chants of a community wit educate the people to look in the newspaper for their announcements the people will read the paper more and greater will be the returns.

Sheis a reincarna‘ion of Esther in her surpassing beauty iand her devotion to her people: she | is a reproduction of Miriam in her ‘courage; of Sara in her gracious di- nity: her moral purity and her loving ideference to her husband, and of 2achel in her affection for her chil- | dren. With all these traits of his- toric women, she possesses one qual- jity which is the flower of modern | social progress—a broad and active | humanitarianism—a desire and a will to help her fellow-beings. | ‘The story of the heroic service she | hastened to render the wounded and | famished survivors of the Sicilian earthquake disaster was quickly flashed over the world, but few recall- ed that on many prior occasions her rd . i a BR mi fe fed to save ‘and succor | people. The courage of the Queen and her physical endurance are al- a incredible in one so delicately |reared.

Many Statesville people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health, but there is no need to suffer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and permanently cured by the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Here is a Statesvlile citizen recommen dation. Mrs. S. Revis. living at 212 Sev- enth St,, Statesville, N. C., says: ‘‘T can recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills as a remedy that acts up to its representations. I sent to Hall's Drug store, and procured them while suffering from pains through the low- er part of my hack and frequent | headaches which had caused me great distress. Their use improved my condition in every way. Doan’s Kidney Pills proved so satisfactory in my case that I do not hesitate to recommend them to other sufferers.” For sale by all dealers.

No Appeal Will be Taken in the Case. Aycock Makes Final Appeal for Clemency—Judge Malone, in Sentencing Young In- Sing, Comments Upon the Gravity of His ((Yense in the Eyes of the Law. Former GoyerdDor ventor to Sing New York, March. 12—John C. Lumsden’ the young Southerner and slavor of Harry B. Suydam, a curb broker, whom he shot in Suydam’s office at No. 39 Broad Strect on December 16 last, was sentenced to Sing prison today for no‘ less than eighteen years or more thatgrineteen in the Court of General Sessions. He had been convicted of manslauzh ter in the first Jegree. While receiving sentence, Lum- sden stood erect, his arms folded across his chest, and looking the jndge stright in theeye. After- wards he turned on his heel, shook hands with his friends and thanked his couasel and waiked from infront of the bench The prisoner, formerly a soldier, has aiilitrry bearing anda _ clean- cut counteance that made hima striking figura when he faced Judge Malone. Lumsden was an inventor of a vibratory massage machine, in which Suydan had been financially intertesed, and it was during a quarrel concering money matters connected with this iuvention that the shooting took place. The deferce of Lum- sden, in the hands of local coun- sel and friends from the young man’s former home in North Car- Olina, was that heshot Suydam self-defence, and Charles B. Ay- cock, formerly Governor of North Carolina mde a plea for clemep- cy today, “I came here at the request. of Lu.aeden’ ‘parents,’ said Mr. Ay cock. A look at Lumsden is enough to convince one that he does nut belong to the criminal class. Witnesses are here from North Carolina. Men who do not belong to this social class, and who are far beyond the limit of subpoenas. They have volun- tarily come here to testify for him. They came as neighbors. -—————+>-_____ VIRTUOUS SPASM GETS TOWN. And Large Portion of Population is Therefore Liable to Arrest.

No arrests were made today but the names of street car conduct- ors, motermen, telephone opera- tors and many others were tak- en. No attempt was made to interfere with the operation of interstate railroad traffic. Liv- erymen who hired vehicles were put upon the list. Cigar stores did not sel] their customers, res- taurants were open only a limit- ed number of hours an@ drug stores filled prescriptions only. Nearly all news dealers placed br detiapers in the hands of a seventh day Adventist who had observed yesterday as the Sab- bath, believing that the law could not interfere with him for selling today. His name was taken and his arrest may follow. Managers of the street railway comp=ny were arranging to- night for a fight against cases brought against them tomorrow. The fight Sunday was brought about by the effort of the minis. ters to stop unnecessary labor on the Sabbath. - + ~<<>>--p— Furniture Exposition a Success.

What is to be done in the case of tn 18-year-old bride who finds her- self unexpectedly the mother of nine children? This is the plight of a young woman, whose story is told in the New York newspapers. She was courted by a°man who confessed himself to be a widower, ‘but failed to mention fie circumstance that he possessed abundant evidences of his former marriage. He took the girl to a very nice home he owned, which at the time was vacant, apparently Impressed by the prospect of a life of comfort and ease, she married him, and, after a brief honeymoon trip, was escorted to the house. There she was met by the nine, rang- ing in age from a boy of sixteen, just two years youriger than herself, to a charming litle prattler of two, all of whom hailed her joyously and affecionately as ““mamma.’’ After one day of enjoyment of her ‘sudden honors, the bride scaled the back fence, pawned her wedding ring for $2 and Gug ouf for her mother and place. The case has come into court on the bride’s demand that the husband support her. He contends that a happy and populous Tliome awaits her coming to complete its joys. She replies that she had no thought of underfaking the contract of caring for for nine of another wo- . man’s children. The divorce courts offer no relief because the law does not recognize the paternity of nine chiléfen as a crime. On the other hand, fhe young woman contends that that she is a victim of false pre- tenses and the suppression of evi- dence. Lawyers and courts seem to be puzzled by the condition, for which so far as is known, there is no precedent, and it looks as if some law must be manufactured for the occasion.—Richmon¢é News-Herald. ——_2+@anr-o—————_ Weather Forécts®.

See COMBATING CANCER. Belgian Association Formed to Fight the Dis€a*e. Consul H. Albert Johnson, of Liege, advises that an association has been recently formed for combating cancer in Belgium, details of which follow: The managing committee is com- posed of the bourgomasters of Gand, Antwerp, Liege, and Ostend, Baron Crazal, Senator Delanney, a certain number of prominent manufacturers, merchants, lawyers, professors from the different universities medical men> and prominent people generally This association is created with the view of disseminating a knowledge of the revelopment and action of this disease, and for the purpose of en- couraging the creation of hospitals, dispensaries, and all classes of insti- tutions designed to aid in the treat- ment of cancerous patients. The association has just distri- buted a large number of copies of a treatise on cancer to the bourgomas- ters, the different medical associa- tions, the charitable institutions, and the Red committees. This treatise has been compiled mainly given by Professor Laurent before the Popular universi- ty. It is very well arranged and easy to understand, explaining in a cencise manner-ihe primary symp- toms of the disease, and embodying valuable advice concerning its ele- Cross from lectures mentary treatment. Some idea of the urgent necessity Immediate action attempt- ing to check the growth of cancer in Beigium may be gathered from the fact that more’than 1,000 deaths an- of some nually are due to this dread disease, und if it is borne in mind that can- cerous patients often live three or four vears without the disease be- ing discovered, the total cancerous exceeds 1,000. some patients in reality It is claimed by authorities that as many as 15 or 20 per cent. of the cancerous cases are not diag- mosed as such during the life of the patient, and therefore do not appear on the official returns. According to Professor Laurent, there are in the four largest cities of Belgiun as many as 3,000 persons suffering from cancerous complaints. =< << oe BIGGEST FARM ON EARTH. Said to be David Rankin’s, in Missou- ri—m—He Guesses it’s True. flampton’s Magazine. Nearly 40 years ago an Illinois farmer discovered that land on one side of a state line was selling for $2) an acre, while he might buy any amount on the other’ side of the imaginary dividing mark for less than a third of that amount. Real estate men told the farmer that no railroad would ever go near the Mis- souri lands, but he sold his farm in Iltinois and bought all he could of the land at $6 an acre. Not long ago David Rankin, who is the man that bought the cheap acreage, took an inventory of his possessions in the neighborhood of Tarkio, Mo. The inventory showed 25,640 acres, 12,000 fattening hogs, $00 cattle, S00 horses. more than 100 cottages, in which the employes of the big farm were housed, great quantities of farm machinery tand hee like. ~ The total figures up to something like $4,000,000 in value. That did not include the 1,000,000 bushels of corn produced annually or 150 miles of tiling and ditches, some of which had been draining the marsh lands of 40 years ago. “They say I'm the biggest farfner in the world,’’? Rankin says, ‘‘and I guess its True. Lots of men have more land than I, but they use it for cattles only. Mine isa farm.”’ ranges Rankin’ never raises cattle or fur- nishes range.

Elkin, N."C., March 16—Our town is enveidped in a shadow of gloom on account ofa terrible tragedy en- acted“here this morning just a few minutes past § o’clock. Mr. W. E. Paul, the agent of the Southern Rail- way shot ‘himself and he died at 2:16 this afternoon. Kissing his wife good Dy he left his beautiful home and tn answer to a_ question from Mrs. Paul, who inquired if he were going to the depot, said “yes directiy.”” A few minutes later a pistol shot was heard in the direction of his barn and. an_ investigation revealed the fact that an awful trag- edy h&#@een enacted in our midst. He was carried to his house which is not’more than a_ hundred feet away and by this time the news had spread over the business part of our town and a large number of friends had gathered ready to render any assistance in their power. Dr. J. W. Ring, who, by the way, is Mr. Paul’s father-in-law, and Dr. C W. Maseley of Greensboro, who had come to town on the early train from WilKes- boro, got there a short time after M1 Paul had shot himself. Dr. Masely made an. exzminetion aud found that the ball had entered the right temple and ranged a little up, the ball had not passed entirely through the head but the skull was fractured on the opposite side from where the ball entered. But little hope of his recovery was held out from the start, but hoping against judgment—thinking there might be a chance in a thousand for his life. Dr: White of -Wilkesboro was phoned. The agent of the Southern Railway Company at North Wilkesboro took the matter up with the railroad authorities and secured an order for a special train to bring Dr. White to Elkin. At- torney J. F. MHenden, who is Mr. Paul’s brother-in.law, and who was aattending court’ at Wilkesboro also came down on the special train which arrived at Elkin at 10:50 a m. Dr. White examined him but said that nothing could be done—that he coul@ live only a few hours. He lived till 2:10 this afternoon seem- ing to suffer intensely, though it is not probable that he was conscious of his suvéfings. There is no known motive for his rash act. He was not financially embarrassed. He had a_ beautiful home, and an attractive family to which he was very much devoted. His home life was beautiful. The best explanation, perhaps, lies in the fact that he has been overworked, the business of the rail- road here having so grown during the past few years that he had more to do than he-was able to do, but being a conscientious ‘employee of the company he worked on uncom- plainingly till he broke down under the continual heavy strain. He possessed a fine physique and bore up under the burden for a long time, but he finally reached the limit. He had been quite unwell for some weeks—had not been able to work but two Gays in about three weeks. He was very popular here, where he had been the agent of the railroad company ever since the“road reached here about 20 years ago. He was a most capable officer and stood high in the estimation of his superiors. He was a member of the Methodist church and of several of the secret orders. He was especially loyal to his‘ church. He sang in the church choir and taught a class in the Thorndike Angell, “the friend of} yethoaist Sunda¥ school. In fact, he was a model Christian gentleman the humane educational move|.ng our town and all its interests will feel keenly the loss sustained in Ws death.

Stiff neck is caused by rheumatism of the muscles of the neck. It is usually confined to one side, or to the back of the neck and one side While it is often quite painful, quick relief may be had by applying Cham- berlain’s Liniment.

The following entitled ‘Why I Celebrate,” a Do€m, was writen by {A. H. Gilmore, better known as “Gilly” in this city, and once editor of The Mascot. Mr. Gilmore is now en the Chattanooga ‘limes’ staff, and the poem-was read at a ban- quet of the United Irish Societies at Wilmington last night: I am an exile from an island Full hree housand miles away, Finding here a home of welcome, Swearing fealty and defence To the starry flag of freedom And forever gone from thence. Why should I, you wondering ask me Hold such love for isle so far. Clear across the~“waste of water Cold as distant as a star. Friend, that island is my mother; From her fertile soil I sprang, Generously my youth she nurtured And my lullably she sang, Mark me Well, that man’s a villain, Mean and cold as clod of earth In whose heart thére’s no af€ction For the land that gave him birth, If of it, no tender Memories Up before his vision swim Then the land that gives him shelter Gan expect no love fer him. ‘Tis a light and thoughtless question Why I love the dear old sod, Where my eyes first looked to Heaven And my lightsome feet first trod. Must a man because he marri¢s Ceasé to love and venerate ~ In his heart the dear vld mother, Sitting sad and desolate? Trust mg, friend, the better husband Always is the better son, Heaven protect the maiden from him “VYho, for mother. love has none. Well, I love this noble land With~a Tove as pure as gold, None the less because my spirit Visits now and then the old. Freely would I grasp the saber, Rally ‘round the flag of stars No less ready for the reason ‘That I’d shiver island’s bars. Mingled in the manly bosom Is the love 6: mother—wife So my Tove for both lands mingle In th, current of my life. Could you doubt our Irish fealty? Call a muster of your dead, Find a field in ali your history Whfre no Irish valor bled, Where their deeds ‘no rays of glory Shed around the starry flag From the plains of Saratoga Onto Lookout’s highest crag. Our’s the nation Targé and lavish Generous as our mother land; No cold, shallow stream that barely Covers Selfishness’ sand And you ask the shallow question, Why I celebrate this day? Friend, I celebraté no triumph. Won in battle’s bloody fray— Triumph of one kingly despot O’er-a nation at the cost Of a hetacomb of heroes And perhaps of freedom lost. Ner a victory ignoble, Of one faction, class or creed. While a strife distracted nation Went the fratricidal deed. "Ms not these that my memory hal- lows, Friend, it is a sacred cause, ‘lis the bringing to a people Christian light and love and laws. Gentlé Patrick the apostle Brought no flaming battle brand— In his heart of peace—the gospel And a shamrock in his hand, These weapons that he wielded, lreland bowed to Heaven’s sway, Who’d object but brutish bigot If we celebrate the day? Now I've left my mother country, Made this fair young lady my bride ; Both I’ll ever love and cherish And defend whate'er betide, From her cliffs let Erin beckon And Ill hasten to her side; T.et a-caltiff strike Columbia From thé scapbard leaps the biade Ha!

Montreal, March 17.—Four per- sons are dead and thirty others were more or less seriously injured as the result of the blowing out of a wash pipe on the locomotive hauling the Boston @xpress of the Canadian Pa- cific Railway this morning, three miles out from this city. Sealding steam filled the cab and the engineer and fireman were forced to jump. The.train. without a guiding hand at the throttle, dashed into the Wind sor street station, through the granite wall into the woman’s wait- ing room and then into the rotunda where the locomotive, after demol- ‘ishing one massive granite pillar, was brough toa standstill by an- other. . The four persons killed were sit tins in the woman’s waiting room. (A score of men were knocked down when the train crashed through the rotunda. An investigation of the, cause of the accident by General Manager MeNicoll disclosed that the break in the boiler was on the fireman’s side. Firesnan Craig jumped at once and landed in a snowdrift practically un- injured. He ran down the track af- ter the train. Half a mile from where he jumped Craig found the engineer lying unconscious by the rails. His skull had been fractured. Wiy. defore jumping, the engineer failed to bring his train to a stand- still may never be known, for Cun- ningham has not regained conscious- ness and is not expected to live. The train crew had no idea there was anything wrong until the train was nearing the station. Then the conductor, noting the éxcessive speed at this point, applied the air brakes. They were not strong enough to hold the train with the locomotive pull- ing against them, but they did check the speed somewhat.

Mr. R. L. Bame, Who Recently Went Bankrupt at .Meoresville, Has a Hearitg—Important Things Di*- closed. Mr. R. L. Bame who some weeks ago filed a petition of bankruptcy at Mooresville, was given a hearing before his creditors Tuesday in the Federal court room in this city. Mayor H. P. Grier represented the creditors, and some very fmportant things have been disclosed. The appraisers who appraised his proper- ty in Mooresville to lay off the home- stead, run across some very import- ant facts in the case. While exam- ining the hay in the barn loft at the home of Bame last week, they were much surprised to find the follow- ing things secreted under the hay: Three ten pound Caadiés of tobacco: twenty-five pounds of mixed candy, one dozen window shades, a washing machine, a wringer, a set of new buggy harness and a lot of goods boxes in which were packed new, un- used and unmarked paper shoe boxes in which there were no shoes. In the loft of the smoke house covered by a lot of old sacks a sixty pound tub of lard was found. It is believed that further search will find more ~g00ds hidden elsewhere. It is said that Bame_ started in business about two years ago witha capital of about $2,500. Duringgthe last six months according to the in- ventory taken by the creditors it is found that he has purchased some- thing over $5,000.00 worth of goods. When the inventory of the stocK was taken it was found it would reach only apout $1900, showing a very large shortage which has not as yet been “aceounted for. Bame claims thatit must have been stolen from him. Furher evidence is likely to be taken in the case. — A HEARING ++ Fought on Merrimac. Norfolk, Va., March 17.—Ben- jamine A.

Father of Boy Receives a Letter Stating the Boy is Held for $10, 000 Ransoni—The Father Willing to Pay it—The Letter Closes with the Phrase, “Dead Boys Are De- siraole. Sharon, Pa., March 18.—William Whitla, the eight-year-old son of James P. Whitla, a well known at- torney and former republican candi- daf, for congress, was kidnapped by two men today. Ten thousand dol- lars ransom is demanded for the re- turn of the boy who was spirited away from Sthool here this morning furnishing a mystery which the de- tectives of the country are being asked to @lve. Accompanying the demand for a ransom is a_ covert threat that the boy will be killed un- less the money is produced. Hundreds of telegrams and tele- phone messages have been sent to the polite-6i Various cities asking their assistance In the search for the boy and his abductors. The first fruft of these came tonight when Chief of Police Crain, of this city received word that a rig in which the lad Tad been taken away had been Técovered at Warren, Ohio, with the child’s hat on the seat of the buggy. At 9:30 o’clock this morning a stranger drove up to the east word school house where young Whitla is a pupil in room No. 2, and told the janitor, Wesley Sloss, the lad was wanted at once at his father’s office. Sloss conveyed the message to Mrs. Anna Lewis, the boy’s teacher, who dismissed the child. As she was helping him put on his overcoat, she remarked half jokingly, “I hope that man does not kidnap Willie.’”’ The man in the buggy had a dark com- plexion, dark hair and a stubby mus- ‘ache. He was stockily ‘built. He spoke excellent English and was evi- dently American born. When Sloss appeared with the boy the stranger smiled and helped him 1p to the seat beside him. He then drove off in the direction of Mr. Whitla’s office. Several persons to- night say a confederate joined the kidnapper before he had left the town. —— Little was thought of the incident «nd there was no belief that a crime had been committed until the lad lalled to appear for his mnoonday meal. Becoming worried, Mrs. Whitla began a Search, and at the School she learned ,of what had oc- curred there three hours before. At one o'clock a letter, directed to the mother, was delivered to her by ® mail carrier. Mrs. Whitla at once tecognized the handwriting on the tnvelope “as-that of her son. Open- ‘ng it she found the following com- munication written in a strange hand: “We have your boy and will re- turn him for $10,000. Will sce Your advertisement in the papers.

Ver VAS: Somers better Known as ““Boss’’ was arrested this morning on the charge of selling whiskey, and being unatte to attend court, his at- torney, Hon. L. C. Caldwell appear- ed in the mayor’s court and stated that Mr. Somers would waive exami- nation, and he gave a $500 justifia- ble bond for his appearance at the next term of court. The police have for some time: been watching Mr. Somers’ place on West Front street, and have seen persons go into the rear of his pre- mises, an@ return with whiskey. Only one would go at a time, and would enter a hole in a fence in the rear of Mr. Somers’ property, and then go to the house, and presently come out with a sack full of whiskey. Generally some would wait in the railroad cut in the rear of the premises, and when the messenger came back with the whiskey it would be divided among thé parties and all would hurry away. Last night it was detided by the police that tiey sad sufficient proof and that they would take the parties with the whiskey as they came from the house. The police moved up nearer the house and presently the man came out having previously en- tered the premises from the front, carrying a sack on his shoulder. The police immediately nabbed him, and examined the sack, which was found to contain thirteen quarts of whisk- ey. Several persons were anxiously awaiting the arrival of the whiskey at the railroad cut, but when the messenger was held up, they imme- diately dispersed. A warrant was issued for “Mr. Somers last night charging him with selling intoxicat- ing whisRies “and he bond was given this morning. Mr. Somers was a former resi- dent of this city having run a sa- loon on court street in the city until }the town went dry several years }ago, when he moved to Salisbury, and ran a saloon there, until the state prohibition took effect, when he moved back to this city. For some months Mr. Somers had been very ill before he moved to this city from Satisoury. Only a few weeks ago he moved here into Mr. W. W. Miller’s old home on West Front street which he has purchased. Since moving here Mr. Somers has not been out but very little on ac- count of fis sickness, and was una- ble to attend his trial today. He has many friends in this city, and igs very prominent not only here, but at Salisbury. _———____—-9-~< -o— Mr. Foster Sells Out.

There will probably Dé -dther bonus offers but not as large as the present. The changes in scores will show what candidates are manifesting the most activity, but the numerous daily ballots senfin from this district must also De taken into consideration as a great factor improving the scores of-candidates.

Smith, of Richmond Va., traveling salesman for the White Oak Coal Company, of Richmond, the trial to be during the term of the superior court that convenes here next Monday, for a two weeks term. The trial was continued from the especially on account of the conten- tion of the counsel for the defense that Cotton’ was in no mental or physical condition to undergo the trial, being at the time under the influence of cocaine, in the use of which he was being “tapered off” by the physcians. Cotton it will be rememidered, is a son of a prominent physician here. The trial is to come up Guring the second week of the court, over which Judge Long will preside. The murder was committed in the early hours of Sunday morning, Nov- ember 14th, last and the body of the murdered man was found out in the rock quarry, east~of the city. When the case was continued last term there was much complaint among citizens and county authori- ties that the preliminary arrange- ments forthe trial should have been permitted to advance so far as to involve an expense of $1,100 to the taxpayers of the county before the move for continuation was made. However the county attorney was one of the counsel for the defense, who procured the continuance so that the county commissioners were somewhat stopped from special complaint. —n fe District Meeting of K. of P.

City of Mexico, March 18.—It was reported here today that war prep- arations are being carried on in Cen- tral America on a larger scale than ever. According to a dispatch re- ceived in the Emigrador colony, President Zelaya, of Nicaraga, has learned of a plot whereby President Daviia, 61 Honduras, his former ally, has deserted him, and has joined Presidént Cabrera, of Guatemala, and President Figueroa, of Salvador, in a conspiracy to isolate Nicaragua. The massiig of six thousand troops on the Honduran frounties is for the purpose of frightening Davila back into his oi@ alliance. It is President Zelaya’s plan, ac- cording to the report, to frighten Davila back into submiision and put Dr. Prudency Alfaro in the presi- dential chair of Salvador. With these moves accomplished he will have turned the tables on his old enemy, Estrada Cabrera, of Guate- mala, and have isolated that country. President Zelaya declares he does does not fear intervention on the part of the United States. He is re- ported as saying that if marines are landed, the Nicaraguans will fight to the last ditch.

Vernon, N. Y., March $5 George Albert Burt, who wired | President Cleveland from Panama. And in 1885, ‘“‘Unless you guarantee suf- ficient protection I shall withdraw every American citizen and proceed to United States on a chartered ves- sel,” is dead at his home in Law- rence Park, Bronxville. following a two weeks?’ illness from heart @dis- ease. Mr Burt was born at Fall River, Mass., April 22. 1870. During the Civil War he served as an ensign on the Massasoit, a United States fri- gate. After the war he was Vice Consul at Guatamania, Central America and later General Manager of the Panama Railway. While serving in this capacity during the insurrection of 1885 Mr. Burt’s famous message to President Cleveland called a mid- night session of the Cabinet, which resulted in the sending of a squad- ron, in chargo of Admiral Jewett, to the isthmus. Before the arrival of the warshins Mr. Burt armed all the empioyees mynd protected the property and the and chil- dren of the American and foreign nations, for which he recived official recognition from the British. French Spanish and other governments.

In it says: Pe mibece is no foundation for the wildly circulated report that ihe pay- ment of over claims against the government now due hss} been postponed by want of ready cash. “On the contrary, the department fs abreast of. demands upon it in honoring requisitions, and no nec- essary payments are postponed fer future action “All claims are met as fast as appropriations therfor are made hy congress. While the appropriations and expenditures for the current; fiscal year are largely above the revenues for the year, the available eash in the treasury is equal to ail demands that may be made upon it for some time. The revennes from imports have recently shown sub- $50,000,000 of the treasury for ‘stantial gains and should these con- tinue, the treasury is in good condi- tion to await the approaching re- adjustment of The tariff.” ———————_ +> Women Who Fits in Are Welcome.., There is a girl clamor for her whose friends society. She takes it sweetly, this this woman of many invitations, often is heard to won der why people are so good to her. The reason is not hard to guess Dy those who have ever stayed in the same house with her. She fits. The homes that open their doors to her are of varied de- grees of elegance. In some the work of the household is done by the mis- tress; in others there are three times as many servants as there are mem- bers of the family. It all is she a welcome guest. Though she does not know it, her aim is to make herself useful: She does it quite unconciously, but she does it so thoroughly that her going leaves a gap. In the plainer homes she takes her share of the household duties as a matter of course. In those where such service would be superfluous she makes herself indis- pensable to her hostess by taking charge of the flowers, answeringy notes straightning old tangled knit- ting, or making herself agreeable to the member of the family who needs entertaining. Besides being useful this girl is reposeful and trustworthy No mat- ter what goes wrong, sbs is never flustered, and she never, never is a common carrier from one home to another of happenings that should be private. There are those who feel thetrh- selves lonely and slighted who would be welcome guests if they thought ef the pleasure of their hosts in- stead of their personal case. ———_— <<>> RUINED CITY FOUND. jPiisndhis fc SR RN Los Angeles, Cal., Mac 19— In the San Facinto mountains, hear the edge of the Cocella val ley, D.

And Mary had a brother John, Who kept a village store; He sat him down and smoked a pipe, | And watched the open door. | And as the people passed along, And did not stop to buy; John still sat and smoked his pipe. And blinked his sleepy eyes. And so the sheriff closed him out. But still he lingered near, And Mary came to shed with him. A sympathetic tear.

Bowdoin Buys Right’ of Oak Island, Nova Scotia. New York, March 18.—‘‘Ten feet below two million pounds lie buried,”’ an inscription said to have been found years ago upon a stone dg from a depth of one hundred feet out of a hole on Oak island in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, is the magnet that has attracted the attention of H. L. Bowdoin, of his city and caused him to sign a contract with the owners of the island under which he will literally tear up the earth in quest of hidden fortune. He expects to begin his operations next May. Tradition has it that Oak Island once was a rendezvous for Captain Kidd and his band of pirates and that his ship, the Adventure, often came to anchor in Mahone Bay_ where the spoils of the marauders raids on the high seas were landed and buried, Other persons are said to have had rough tilts- with fortune in an endeavor to locate the supposed hid- den treasure and although all of them have failed, there are those who relate that one man, after the hole had become partially filled with water, bored down to a great depth with an auger, Which when taken out held particles of gold and the links of an old fashioned gold chain. Mr. Bowdoin is a hydraulic and mechanical engineer and he says that with modern appliances he can dég to the bottom of the hole and find any treasure that may be hidden there. ro -- SETTLE GUT OF RACE.

This elim- inates Thomas SettIe, who is now in the city, and who had the back of Representative Morehead and others in the Western district. Every one here is at sea so far as the Presf@ent’s intentions with re- ference to the judgeship, though the claim is made that heis going to nominate a fawyer of high standing at the bar. Whether a democrat will be considered has not yet been disclosed. The report that the three republi- can congressmen endorsed Seaweéll well is a mistake. Representative Grant has never given his endorse- ment to any one save ex-Judge Adams. Mr. Morehead has confined his support to Setile. ~ ————+~@arr———— Notice of Meeting.

Y., March 18 —- Theodore Roosevelt this afternoon received at his home on Sagamore Hill, his neighbors of Nassau county, a delegation of 250 prominent men. To them from the veranda of his home he made his last public utter- ances. prior to his departure for Africa. He assured them that he {intends to disprove the gloomy fore- bodings ot Professor Starr who de- elared that Mr. Roosevelt will not come out of Africa alive if he follows the itinerary he has mapped out. He promised those present, if he proved he is right, that in a year and a quarter they would celebrate together. From this remark it ap- pears that Mr. Roosevelt will be ab- sent from the United States no long- er than fifteen months. “T am now back with my friends and neighbors of Nassau county,’’ Mr. Roosevelt said, ‘‘and I feel deep- ly the way every body has greeted me. It is with the deepest pride that I feel you regard me as not having entirely unworthily repre- sented you at the white house. I am now a private citizen of a very private kind, as private as these gen- tlemen (pointing #6 the newspaper men present) will allow me to be.” @ Three cheers were called for ‘‘our Teddy.” Mr. Roosevelt said=‘‘Now gentlemen, don’t cheer for tho lions ”’ ~+ <> Providential Bowlegs. “Providence,” said the deacon, “sho’ do look atter de) cullud race.” “How come?” demanded Brother Dickey. , ~ “Well hit’s disaway: De nigger baby ez dey say, walk too soon.” “Sho’ do!’? asserted Brother Dickey. : “Dat makes him bowlegged.” “Now you talkin’!”’ “An’ bowiegs is de mos’ conven- ientest legs in de worl’ fer clibin‘ 2 tree w‘en a possum’s on de top Timb!”—Frank L.

Most of the exter- ior work has been finished, and the material for the interior finishing is ordered and already part of it has been received.

This church is one of the finest in the Western North Carolina Con- ference, anf” "indeed a credit to the Broad Street membership. Funds ran low about a year ago, and the period of hard times just passed through has made it impossible to work on the church, consequently it has stood unfinished for some months. ey 2 ‘ FUNERAL TmiS AFTERNOON me The Remains of Little James ‘Knox Is Laid to Rest in Oakwood.

L. Bowdoin Buys Right’ of Oak Island, Nova Scotia. New York, March 18.—“Ten feet below two million pounds lie buried,” an inscription said to have been found years ago upon a stone éng from a depth of one hundred feet out of a hole on Oak island in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, is the magnet that has attracted the attention of H. L. Bowdoin, of his city and caused him to sign a contract with the owners of the island under which he will literally tear up the earth in quest of hidden fortune. He expects to begin his operations next May. Tradition has it that Oak Island once was a rendezvous for Captain Kidd and his band of pirates and that his ship, the Adventure, often came to anchor in Mahone Bay, where the spoils of the marauders raids on the high seas were landed and buried. Other persons are said to have had rough tilts- with fortune in an endeavor to locate the supposed hid- den treasure and although all of them have failed, there are those who relate that one man, after the hole had become partially filled with water, bored down to a great depth with an auger, Which when taken out held particles of gold and the links of an old fashioned gold chain. Mr. Bowdoin is .a hydraulic and mechanical engineer and he says that with modern appliances he can dig to the bottom of the hole and find any treasure that may be hidden there. a SETTLE GUT OF RACE. The President Will Name Man in the District. Washington, D. C., March 18.— The president made the statement this past week that he would not ap- point as judge of the Easern North Carolina aistrict any one who does not reside in the district. This elim- inates Thomas Settle, who is now in the city, and who had the back of Representative Morehead and others in the Western district. Every one here is at sea so far as the Presf@ent’s intentions with re- ference to the judgeship, though the claim is made that heis going to nominate a fawyer of high standing at the bar. Whether a democrat will be considered has not yet been disclosed. The report that the three republi- can congressmen endorsed Seawéll well is a mistake. Representative Grant has never given his endorse- ment to any one save _ ex-Judge Adams. Mr. Morehead has confined his support to Settle. ~ ——— Ee Notice of Meeting.

The Almanac Says So, ahd Guess _ It's Right. Today, according to the almanac was the first day of spring, and it certainly did look it from every standpoint. Yesterday according to our superstitions was equinox, but the weather man and scientists say there is no such a period, but any how it blowed and rained, and we think it was equinox. The weather spring day today, and he hft it all wieht. Ss The young men may now turn all their thoughts to buying some spring rags, and making love to some pretty girl of heir choice. The winter clothes can be stowed back for re- ference next year. The ladies may turn all théir attention to selection of new spring hats and dress, for it is only a short time until Easter, when they will am want to make a display lof their new best frock and fiat. And last, but not least the gard- ner can soon commence his prepara- tions of the garden. If it is so seeds are lacking, there is a few more Teft in the clerk’s office at the court house, whgh were sent to the clerk by Congressman Hackett for distri- bution to the faithful, and several of the faithful on the other side seem mighty glad to get some of the seeds also.

Following Letter is Being Mail- ed by Men in Charge of Demon- stration Work in This County. Dear Sir: The corn crop is one of the most {mportant in this section of the state. Aside from good methods of prepara- tion, cultivation, etc., the kind of seed planted plays quite a large part in the question of yields. In order to assist farmers in get- ting good seed to plant, the Farm- ers’ Cooperative Demonstration work will have a seed corn day at Moores- ville on Friday, April 9th, and at Statesville, Saturday, April 10th. A corn breeding expert and several practical corn growers will be pres- ent to help select seed corn and make talks upon corn growing. They will be on the grounds from 10 a. m. til 4 p.m. The talks will probably occur from 1 to2 p.m. Please come and bring with you from thirty to fifty of the best ears of your seed corn “and have enough selected to plant seed patch of one acre. In the fall we wiil go into the seed patch with you and help you make a care- ful field selection. We will then talk about preserving from weevils, storing and keeping your corn per- fectly sound through the winter. Next spring we will start the same operation again and hope by this means to Rave some excellent seed corn on a large number of farms in this county. We hope you will show your in- terest in this forward movement by coming out, bringing your boys, and inviting your neighbors to come. Remember the date, the place, and come early.

Oyster Bay, N. Y¥., March 21.— Happy in the prospect of his depart- ure Tuesday morning for his long planned African “‘safari’’ or hunting trip, ex-President Roosevelt was the soul of good humor today at his home in Sagamore Hill, where the mem- bers of his family gathered for a final reunion before the long journey to the jungle Mr. Roosevelt was up with the sun today, as he said, to make the most of the first day of spring. Nearing church time the start was made on foot for Christ church three miles away. The Rev. Henry Washburn, rector of the church, incorporated a special pray- er for Mr. Roosevelt's safe return in the regular prayer. Mr. Roosevelt and his wife made the long trip back to Sagamore Hill on foot. “T am going to New York in the morning,” said Mr. Roosevelt. “‘and will go to the steamer to inspect my quarters and see that my personal baggage is safely cared for”: Mr. Roosevelt was shown a dis- patch stating that a gentleman from the west would join the expedition here as an additional member. “J don’t know anything about it,” said Mr. Roosevelt. “If any one else is going, I don’t know it. If they try, I think there will be some way to stop them. There is a story that a man wd@t to Texas with a twenty-two calibre revolver, and 2 cowboy said to the new comer, ‘stranger, if you find it out, I'M kick vou out of ‘fexas.’ Well, if I find any one trymg to follow me, I may think of the cowboy story.” Mr. Rooseveli seemed surprised when informed that several thousand people undoubtedly would be on hand to give him a parting cheer as the steamship goes out. “Gracious Mme,” said Mr. Roose- velt, ‘“‘you don’t really mean to say there will be such a crowd as that.

Philadelphia, March 2t.—The con- vention of the anthracite mine work- ers which meetts at Scranton, Pa., on Tuesday is expected to make final decision so far as the men are Con cerned in+the matter of a new agree- ment with coal mine operators to take the place of the present work- ing arrangements which expires March 31. The mine workers are not unanimous as to what should be done, and therefore the operators are more or less in the dark as to the conditions that will prevail on April 1. ei As it now stands the situation is that the miners have made certain demands, the principal one being the recognition of the union. The op- erators have flatly refused all teh demand and in turn have offered to renew for another term of three years the present agreement, which is the same as that made by the an- thracite coal strike commission. The rank and file ‘ot the mine workers believe that the coal presi- dents will close the mines April 1 for an indefinite period. They base this belief on the fact that the mines are being worked to their full capacity this month notwithstanding that the previous custom during March has been to operate them onty about half time. The operators have made no announcement what they intend to do next month nor” have they made any public declaration as to whether the price of domestic sizes of coal will be reduced fifty cents a ton April 1 as has been done in other years. —_—_+<@>-e——- A NEW PHYSICIAN.

The News and Observer of Raleigh Gives Very Interesting Sktches of Iredell’s Representatives. The following, from the News and Observer of Raleigh, gives very in- teresting sketches of Zeb V. Long. Zeb V. Turlington, and N. D. Tom- lin, Iredell’s representatives at the General AssemBity in Raleigh, for 1909: Zebulon Vance Long. Zebulon Vance Long, of States- ville, in two sessions of the senate has established a state-wide reputa- tion as a capable, fearless and con- scientious legislator. His services two years ago won for him the dis- tinction of being recognized as one of the strong and valuable members of that General Assembly, this recog- nition securing for him the appoint- ment to the chairmanship of one of the most important committees in the legislature, that on appropria- tions. In the recent session, besides advocating with forcefutness and vigor those measures which were purposed to carry out the pledges of the Democratic party to the people. and which were eminently good in themselves, Mr. Long fought with strength the political designs of Re- publicans in the legislature and was ene of the leaders in the onslaught against the opposition when they proposed such patent partisan meas- ures as the election of the county boards of education by the people. an attack-on the state’s educational system and policy. 5 Mr. Long was born in Statesville in 1877, and in 1908 was married there to Miss Hill Scott, Gaughter of President Scott, of Statesville Fe- male College. He is a steward in the Methodist church and is an ar- dent advocate of prohibition. He took a strong stand in he _legisla- Ture against any change in the pres- ent prohibition faw. He was educa- ted in the public schools of States- ville and studied law at the Universi- ty of North Carolina where he took a leading part in student life and college affairs. Besides being chair- man ‘of the “Appropriations commit- tee he served on otherss as follows: Corporations, Game Laws, Justices of the Peace, Judiciary, Mining, Penal Institutions and Propositions and Grievances. Zeb V. Turlington. Zeb. V. Turlington of Mooresville, member of the house of the sessions of 1905 and 1907, was reelected to that body in 1908 by a. majority of 800. He took a prominent part in the deliberations of the house, add- ing to his reputation as a capable legislator. Lawyer by profession he rendered excellent service to the Committee on Judiciary No. 2 and was the originator of many import- ant bills. One that did not pass a state primary law which had con- siderable support in both senate and house but it was nof thought wise by|~ — many members to pass it at the late session. He was the leader in the fight to put Solicitors on a salary and his strong speech against it killed the bill. One of the best speeches. of the session was by Mr. Turlington in favor of the Texas anti-trust law. Mr. Turlington was born January 8, 1877, in Johnson county, and was educated aft Turlington Insti- tute and the University of North Carolina. He was married on De- cember 23, 1902, to Miss Mary How- ard Rankin. He is a member of the Presbyterian church. He has been prominent in the life of his town “and ~ county for many]! years, serving as both treasurer and attorney of Mooresville, and is one of that fOwn’s most enterprising and progressive citizens. Mr. Turtifigton served on the fol- lowing committees: Blection Laws, of which he was chairman; Judiciary No. 2, Privileges-ana@d Etections Game Laws, Federal Relations, and Regu- lation of the Liquor Traffic. N. D. Tomlin. N. D Tomlin, of Statesville, a well- known and prominent mill man of that town, was elected to represent Iredell county in the house of 1909 by a majority of 852. He was Dorn in Iredell county Oc- tober 21. 167%, and was educated in the common schools and under Dr. A. C. Davis In November, 1896, he was married to Miss Steele, of Turn; ersburg.

Paris, March 21.—The great atrike of the employes at the Postoffice Department, which has practically isolated Paris and cut off France from commun ication with the outside world for the past week, collaped today The atrike committee decided to call off the employes and make the first move to effect a settle- ment, virtually suing for peace. The government met the commit tee half way. This afternoon representatives of the linemen called on M.

They aleo desired the assurance that the delegates of the association here- after should be permitted to lay their grievances directly before the Minister of Public Works. Mir. Barthou received them in a conciliatory eprit. He said that the government could not discuss the resigation of an offi- cial except with Parliament, but he practically gave the delega- tion the satisfaction they deman ded on othes points, exdlaning to them. however that the gov- ernment had not yet exertised its rights of dismassal. He said that warnings had been sent to every striker without exception to appear for duty notlater than Tuesday. Moreover’ he agreed to receive the representatives of the assoc- iation wheneuer they had griev- ances to present. Premier Clemenceau later met the deputation and confirmed M Barthou’s statement with regard t> the attitude of the govern- ment. He appealeh to the men both in the interests of themselv and the country to put an im- mediate end to the intolerable situation.

Kansas City Star. _ Although until few years ago Crip- ple Creek was a rough mining camp, it now has culture a-plenty and one of its manifestations is a dog ceme- tery, a luxury which the French cap- ital has had but a short time. The Colorado city has a regular plot of ground for the interment of canines, and what is more, the frounds are kept up in the most care ful manner. Cripple Creek cannot boast of so many birthdays, but the cemetery for the burial of dogs was among the early projects. It was started in the days when men who had been poor all their lives sud- denly found themselves to be mil- lionaires in this great gold camp, and’ being poor men just a few days before they still loved the dogs which had gone on long prospecting tours with them and had shared their sor- row and hardships. One of the early pioneers of the camp who left a fortune behind him bequeathed the sum of $100 a year to the maintain- ance of the grave 6? his faithfui dog Sylvanite. The funeral of a well known dog of a wealthy Cripple Creek miner is a state occasion. The casket and other trimmingss are of the best material. A leading mine owner of the camp recently was. greatly put out because he could not secure the services of a regufar hearse in which to convey to the grave the body of his dead canine friend. As a result of the refusal he chartered all the hacks in the city, the leading vehicle serv- ing as a conveyance~for Towser.

The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care can- not be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to con- tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold.

It surely is a tempting offer, but there is no taker. Would it be worth the money? That depends upon the viewpoint. Many a man would give—gladly give—10 years of his life for $200.- 000,000 and think it a good bargain. Yes; many a man has clipped off tar more than 10 years of his life for a good deal less than that. Lengthof Mfe in itself has no de- finite value. The only thing known about Mathuselth is that he lived longer than anybody while, on the other hand, many of the world’s greatest men have died young in years. Even had the Great Caesar escaped the assassin and lived a de- cade longer, probably neither the world nor himself have been better off for it ioday. The desire to add a few more years to one’s life, when this whole earthly 2xistence is transitory passion. else, is a curious For really our years, deeds.

In re- versing the judgment of a lower court in the cage of C. H. Jennings, who has been sentenced to two years {n prison for alleged betrayal under promise of marriage. the couyt held that a woman who has been married and divorced cannot be considered an ‘“‘unmarried female’ within the intent of the law. The word ‘“un- married,’*’ says that court, “‘means never to have been married,” and adds that there is nothing in the law co show that it is used in the less-com prehensive sense of not having a husband or wife at the time in ques- tion.’’ The court after going on to ex- plain that the law is intended to shield innocent women from the ma- chinations of evilly disposed men, who resort to the blandishments of courtship and false promises of mar- yiage to accomplish their purposes. says: “But the case is wholly different with women who have been married. They have known men and are im- mune from the seducer’s wiles. It is the purpose of the enactment under consideration. as gathered from the language and reason of the law to in- c'ade the former and not the latter class of females. to AED 1 BIG SENSATION, Prominent Men Indicted—One of Them Vice-President of Bank, An- other a Wealthy Steel Manufac- turer.

That event that marked the clos- ing of the Campbell School in Union Grove Township was indeed pleasant. On the morning of the last day the elements began to darken and that very common visitor, the rain. began fall. The people, however, had already assembled and were enjoy- ing the old-fashioned spelling race. They first spelled crosses: The fellow at the end of the row, or line, to by would’ spell his word, call out ‘‘A’* or “B’? and then cross. Somebody at the other end would be doing the same. After spelling thi, way awhile they counted up the crosses to see which Then they took in two on the floor. Sometimes one would spell down a whole side. This is known as the old way of spelling. While it more embar- rassing than the modern way, I be- iieve that it is more interesting. After an intermission for dinner the crowd iseassembled. The lower Rock Creek String bend then mount- ed the stage. They made the walls of the building echo and re-echo With the sweet and melodious strains of music and sent home many an old tune that has gladdened the heart of the old darkie and brought joy to hig cabin in the Sunny South. When musical strains had died away on the quiet evening air and all was hushed in silence, short but eloquent speeches were made which Came from the hearts of the speakers and went to the hearts of those who listened. The crowd was then dismissed by Mr. J. W. Cra- ter. the teacher. The young folks played tap awhile and then ail rétired to their homes. Nr.

Ithaca, March 22— An epide- mic of tonsillitis exists nmong the beautiful young women at, Welles College, and kissiug—not the boys; oh dear, no—but each other, is ascribed as the cause They usually greet each other with osculations. It may be that this kissiog habit is not the cause of the ep- emic of tonsi!litis at Wells, which is at Aurora, on Cayuga Lake, about 20 miles north of this city But thirty girls there have ton. sillitis and the coliege was closed for the Sprins vacation. Good Cc O Ron Calla! The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care can- not be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to con- tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the’ less the risk, Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of Ripley, W. Va., says: “IT have never used anything other than Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for my children, and it has always given good satisfaction.*”” This rem- edy contains no opium or other nar- cotic and may be given as confident- ly to a child as to an adult.

Jones & Co., of Fayetteville, has just completed arrangements whereby the room recently vacated by the Crystal theatre has been leas- ed by that company for the purpose of establishing a five and ten cent store. Work was commenced on the store room today, and just as soon as it can be put in shape, this com- pany Wiil put in their stock. This is something new for Statesville, and no doubt it will take well with the people. The M. P.

The “Wild and Wooly West’? Seems to Have 2 Magnetism for Them. The following named gentlemen, R. S. Carson, Howard Jordan, Ches- ter Millsaps, Coyt Williams, Rob’t Brewerrwison Craig, and Jas. Wood ward, all of little Alex, passed through the city this morning en route to Toston, Mon., to cast their lot af that place. These genlemen come from little Alex by private con- veyance this morning and boarded No. 36 for the west. Ong of tha party, Mr. R. S. Car- son. has tivéa in Montana previous- ly being engaged in the sheep-rais- ing business there; and it is his in- tentions to engage in this business once more. The other gentlemen will engage in different kinds of bus- iness in the state. There is no other state better than the Old North State, and it is sur- prising that so many people would leave it to go west. That section of the country seems to have a magne- tism that just naturally draws the Tar Heels to it. = our. SN : = = —_ . ye THE EVENING MAS State Libra Statesville, N. C., Wednesday Evening, March 24, (909. sinks. J. B. GAITHER DEAD. | ‘One of the County’s Best Loved Wo- men Passes Away. The Salisbury. Post of yesterday says: Mrs. Mary McCubbins Gaither, af- ter an illness of months, died last night at 11:15 o'clock at the White- head-Stokes sanitorium of an incur- able ailment. The skill of medical science had been exahusted in ef- forts to restore her. She went to Baltimore in the latter part of last year and for some weeks was under the personal care of the celebrated Dr. Kelly of Johns Hopkins. Later she returned to her home at China Grove apparently improved but far from recovery and it was found nec- essary four weeks since to bring her to the local sanitorium. “er con- dition has alternated from day to day until Saturday evening, when the early dissolution appeared iney- itable and all the members of her family were summoned. Her sons in Texas were wired for and are now on* their way to Salisbury. During yesterday it became apparent that Mrs Gaither could not survive but a short while at the longest and her close relatives who could be reached were near when her death occurred. The remains were immediately re- moved to the home on South Main street of Mr. J. Frank McCubbins, a half brother of Mrs. Gaither. An- rangements for the f uneral have been delayea@ pending the arrival of the three sons of the deceased, all of whom are residents of Texas. It will not be before Thursday, how- ever, and will be conducted from Mr. McCubbins’ residence or the First Presbyterian church. Mrs. Gaither was one of earth’s choicest spirits. ‘The daughter of the late J. S. McCubbins, she was born in June, 1850 and in 1869 was married to Dr. John B. Gaither. hey resided at Mill Bridge until 189) when Dr. Gaither ‘moved to China Grove where they have since livgd. Theirs was a home that re- flected true Southern hospitality and no more gracious hostess ever welcomed guest than Mrs. Gaither. It is as true as trite to say that at this home the latch string was ever | on the outside and a warm welcome within. Devoted as she was to her home, Mrs. Gaituer was also solicitude for others and her thoughtfulness, her manifold kindnesses unheralded and unknown, her gentle ministra- tions among all classes and stations gave her a place in the hearts of the multitude. Goodness and unastenta- tiousness were equally parts of her fine nature and she served with will- ing heart and hands. Surviving Mrs. Gaither are her husband, Dr. John B. Gaither, who was with her at the end; a half- brother, Clerk of the Court J. Frank McCubbins; one daughter, Miss Mary Gaither, and three sons, Messrs. James F., John and Ed Gaither, of Texas. The sons are expected to ar- rive in Salisbury by tomorrow night and no definite arrangements for the funeral will be made until then. Friends of the deceased and her tamily have been calling in a stream at the McCubbins home during the day. (Mrs. Gaither was a sister-in-law of Mr. H. C. Gaither, and Mrs. J. E. Colvert of this city. Mrs. Colvert went to Salisbury yesterday to be at the bedside of Mrs. Gaither. —_—_—_—~+ar-—__—_—_ Incubator Yarn. | Chicago News. “Speaking about incubators,” drawled old Jeff Weatherby, as he warmed his hands by the cannon stove in the back of Jason’s general store, “reminds me of the wonderful chicken hatchers built by the Hains boys.

Dr. Haig of London, who has at- tained eminence in the treatment of | certain diseases, came to his theory of the uric acid causation of many cases of so-called neuralgia, rheu- matic pains, gouty twinges and head- ache as a result of observation on himself. During his student and | early professional days he suffered horribly from péfriodical headaches. losing an average of one or two days Out of every week in consequence thereof. He experimented with all sorts of drugs and modes of living and finally discovered that the less meat he ate the less headache he had, and he found further that the occurrence of headache was marked by a simultaneous excretion of a large amount of uric acid. From these two facts he conclud- ed that the headaches was due to the presence of uric acid in the blood and that the presence of uric acid in the blood was due to meat eating. From this beginning was developed a complete system of diatics having for its object the exclusion of all uric acid containing foods, since if uric troubles no permanent relief can be expected so long as fresh quantities are thrown into the system. Man is naturally a fruit and vege- table eating animal, he betieves, and must return to his original diet as the only means to his sanitary salva- tion. In other words, Dr. Haig is a vegetarian> Dut of a peculiar kind for he does not allow all vegetable foods by any means. Beans, peas anf other puises are forbidden, since their protein is read- ily convertible into uric acid, and es- pecially does he eschew tea and sof- fee, their alkaholdal ingredients. caf- feme_ being practically the same chemically as uric acid.

Durton, alias “Chicago Army,” each with more than a score of bank and postoflice robberies charged against him, left here Saturday morning in charge of United States deputy marshals, and accompanied by Postoflice Inspectors Gregory and Baine, for Greenville S. C., where they will be placed in jail to await trial in the United States court for burglary of the postoffice at Pelzer, S. C., on the night of December 2, 1907. Dutch’? and Barton were arrest- ed at Birmingham, Ala., the first of the present month, and Inspector Gregory, who was in that section on a still hunt for the pair, easily iden- tified them an@ he and _ Inspector Baine took proceedings before the United States commissioner there to have them held for the Péizer job. “Dutch” employed counsel to fight extradition to South Carolina and even had his attorney offer a reward for his (“‘Dutch’s’’) return to Missis- sippi, where he escaped from the Rankin farm-ot the #®sssssippi State penitentiary, while serving a 5-year sentence for Durglary. His efits were, however, unavailing and the postoflice inspectors had no trouble in holding him for the Pelzer rob- bery, along with Bartan. When arrested “Dutch”? had in his possession $195 in money, a mileage book, etc. He denied acquaintance with Barton at first, but not after Inspecor Gregory had finished his “interview” with the noted cracks- man. Inspector Gregory was thor- oughly familiar with the operations of “Dutch” and the latter, after hear- ing the inspector tell of he de- tails of several burglaries in which he was implicated, even as to the movements of “Dutch” and his pals before and iollowing certain rob- beries, he appreciated the fact that there Was little opportunity of getting out of the grasp of Uncle Sam’s sleuths. “Dutch” is a Hungarian Jew, a native of Tennessee, and his criminal career was begun early in life. He has traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe and it is not unlikely that he ‘“‘operated”’ in the old world. He is apparently 35 years of age: 5 feet 8% inches in height: weight 162 pounds; build stocky and muscular; complexion dingy; hair dark brown and kinky, rather closely trimmed except in frout; moustache Ilsht brown, thick stubble of beard, except when clean shaven; teeth gcod, with lower left jaw tooth missing; when laughing, as he frequently does, veins stand out on forehead and sides of neck; nose medium length, broad and rath- er flat: mouth very wide, lips thick. his right eve, and a slight cut scar extends over his left eye into the eyebrow.

Many a young man loses his head trying to win a girl’s heart. There is nothing quite so cer tain asthe uncertainty of a wo man. Somehow the averace woman is always harping on the short comings of the other woman. Every woman whoee husband is a failure 1s sure that he would have succeeded had he followed her advice. Itis the fickleness of women that make them interesting? ~ Flattervy is harmless to the woman who doesn’t flatter her self. A woman doesn’t mind if her husband stays out ail night oe easionally provided he brings home an expensive peace offering very time a girl shakes hands with a man she is surprised if he doesn’t squeeze her fingers. One of the things a woman can not understand is why a man would rather read accounts of ball games than love stories. When a weman refuses a man and he takes to drink, it’s a question whether he is drowning his sorrow or is celebrating his escape. When a woman throws a brick at an old hen it is generally hard er on the scenery than it is on the hen. —-—_—_<~+<>- > —____ “Hero of Fort Fisher’ Dies in Nor- folk, Wa.

The following extract trom an article entitled “Progress in Yad- kin,” published in yesterday’s Lex- ington Dispatch, conveys some idea of the growing popularity of the Statesville Air Line: “Another project that means much to Yadkin is that Statesville Air Line railroad, to be built from States- Ville 33 miles to Yadkinville. The coripany, of which Mr. W. D. Tur- ner, former lieutenant-governor is president, is working under a char- ter granted 30 years ago Prelimi- nary talk has about died away and it looks like business. The- state has agreed to furnish 150 convicts to the road. Interest increases in the undertaking, and the folks not only hope but believe that this road will be built. It would be a boon to Yadkin of inestimable value. In her dealing with the proposed line we again find proof of the fact that Yadkin is an admirable county. Yadkin voted $100 000 of bonds to bring the road to her, and in Liberty township, where Yadkinville, the county seat is located. they voted $40,000 of bonds without a single, solitary dissenting vote! We are not afraid to assert that there isn’t another incident like this in the state’s history. Oh, one or two fel- lows talked like they would vote against thé bonds, but old man J. W. Pass let on like they might fall into a barrel of tar if they did, and they didn’t. But that is pleasantry. Men traveled six miles to vote for that road. Politics played no figure at all, was kept out of the election. Every registered voter except four voted. Leading citizens assert that all this shows that the people would vote the bonds again, as will have to be done if the bonds are needed, be- the Iaw by failure to build tne road in time. +> A PARTY LAST EVENING. Miss Charlie Fry Entertains in Honor of Misses McKinnty. Miss Charlie Fry entertained a large number of her friends, at the on Weést-front street last evening in honor of Misses McKinney of Bak- ersville, who are visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Turner. The feature of the evening in the fun making line, was the trimming of hats by the young men present. After the haf trimming was over, the guests were served delicious re- freshments by the hostess, and after a most pleasantly spent evening the jovial guests departed for their homes very reluctantly. —_—_—_+<«@>e—__—_ ILL FATED NO. 74. Freight Train No. 74 Wrecks for the Third Time Within Two Weeks. That eastbound freight train No.74 is hoodooed, is now more convinc- ing than before. For the past two weeks this train has been having a continual annoyance, caused by wrecks. About two weeks ago sev- eral cars of this train left the track near Connelly Springs, killing sever- al head of cattle and only about a week ago it again had the misfortune of wrecking about six miles below this city when five box cars piled off the track. To cap the climax this morning, the*third time in about two weeks, his train had the misfortune of wrecking near Old Fort fourteen cars leaving the track, blocking the tracks completely for near the whole day. Just what the cause of this wreck is, we do not know, but from all ap- pearances it is evident that a hoodoo spell has been cast upon it. Trains No. 36 and 22 were an- nulled, and no train will arrive here from the west until No. 12 tonight, which is reported to have left Ashe- ville considerably late. No. 11 made ' the trip to Asheville without delay. "as a temporary passing track was . built around the wreck. ' ——<r-o———_———_ Two Boys Ran Away. .

S. Gilbert’s laugh- able comedy “The Sculptor’s Dream.” The coming of Miss Stewart has aroused pleasurable anticipations among the play-goers who _ realize they have an opportunity of seeing one ot the most promising legitimate stars of tiie day.

FE + <r -—__—_ New Device for Transporting Fnu eral Flowers Kinston Free Press. A boon to undertakers, involving the soiution of how to get the many flowers frequently at funerals to the cemetery, and one that provides for dispensing with the confusion and disorder that has generally charac- terized the placing of uowers in the hearse, is a recent invention of Mr. George Webb and application for patent is now pending {n the patent office at Washington. The invent- {tion consists of a wooden tray, or trays, which fit snugly into the hearse and is so arranged that it suspends within and near the top of the hearse, affording room for the ac- commodation of all flowers, yet in no way interfere with the coffin. If desired flowers may be placed in the tray and above and. around the coffin as well. By a simple little device the curtains at the side of the hearse can be raised so as to display the flowers to the passerby, or drap- ed, according to the wishes of the family and friends of the deceased. The invention has been in use by Mr. Webb for some time and is 2 most practical and useful one. The writ- er, as well as many of our readers, ‘can attest its value and efficient util- ity. Nothing of the kind has ever been presented at the government office. though the demand has exist- ed for years and years. Its simplic- ity is most striking and one wonders that it was never before thought of. Mr. Webb has contributed somewhat of real value and usefulness to the undertaker and funeral director. This is by no means his first useful invention. It is to him that we are due for the ice-shaving machine, wittn has proved of incalculable value. This latest , invention will inquestionably meet with great de- mand from all over the country. ~~} <b Statesville and vicinity was visited early this morning by one of the worst wind and rain storms expe- rienced here for some time.

A Cyclone in Texas Kills Twelve and Injures Scores.—Destruction of OMe House Alone Kills Eight Peo- ple—Several Small Towns Nearly Completely Demolished—Greatest Loss of Lite in Country _Dis- tricts—General Course of Storm Seemed to be Frei: the West to the Southeast. Dallas, Tex., March 24.—Twelve known dead, property loss reaching into the thousands of dollars and possibly a score injured is the result of a tornado which Swept over the northeastern part of Wise county late last night. Several small towns were visited by the storm but none were entirely destroyed, although each suffered serious damage. The general course of the tornado seems to have been from the west to Southeast. Starting at Crafton in the northeastern part of the county it passed to the north of Decatur, the county seat of Wise county, and struck several small settlements of which Slidell is the centre. From here the tornado appears to have turned southeast. continuing its course without doing further serious damage. The greatest loss of llfe occurred in the country districts. The de- struction of one farm house alone caused the death of eight persons. This single tragedy of the storm oc- curred near Slidell. The farm house of Ira Rice was crushed in by the fu- rious wind and the family of eight members beneath the wreckage. A light in the house at the time of the disaster caused the ruins to become ignited and fanned by the strong wind the flames snuffed out the lives of the helpless victims. The towns of Sanger and Green- wood were hit and a numbr of houses were moved from their foun- dations. The Good View school house near Sanger was wrecked. In this viciity Ben Wilson and Glasgow Clark, farmers, and two children of a negro tenant were killed. Mrs. C. M. Bedley is badly hurt with a brok- en leg and several negroes are less seriously injured. At Crafton every business house save one was blown down. The rMethodist and Baptist churches were completety wrecked. At Dan, also in Wise county, near Slidell, two houses were destroyed. The Christian church at Greenwood was destroyed. Several residences and two churches were blown down at Brum- low. This town is located near Sli- dell, which appeared to be the storm centre. Heavy sand storms were reported yesterday at Dublin, Gainesville, and other points in that vicinity. Fences, small buildings, and wind mills were razed by the storm in the outlying districts. —_—_~~+<+@-o—_— Pretty Things to Wear. Raincoats in rose color are par- ticularly fascinating. Envelopes have pointed flaps rath- er than square ones. Hardly a collar, except the stiff linen one, Dut has its ruche. Green is very popular just now, especially as an accessory color. Rose cofor is growing more and more a favorite as a shade for cHil- dren’s garments. All of the beautiful soft fabrics are used for indoor wear where any style of Sressy gown is in demand. Black and white gowns are so much worn just now that jet jewels have been taken up by old and young alike. The fasiiions of today. are emin- ently youthful. Théy demand the straight, uniformed figure of the school girl. After all, there is a good deal to be said in favor of wearing bright colors on a dark day when the world itself is dark and gleomy. Merely a touch of the new metal embroideries will transform a gown that has always dene good service into one that is quite up to date. Yellowish ones in the greens will be noticeable.

MARTIN DYER TISIN Is Essential to the Up= building of the Modern Business Enterprise. ::: To the publicity gained2by the use of the advertising columns of the daily papers is at- tributed the growth, and consequent success, of a very large percentage of great business enter- prises of the present day. Advertising is recognized as the prime fac- ior in increasing the sales of any class of goods or manufactured articles. ’ The space used in this puper is yourgbusi- ness message to the public. 1n this open letter you should tell them of the merits of what you are offering, setting forth the reasons why your particular line is worthy of their attention.

New York, March 24.-—The stings from the plain or garden variety of honey bee are being used successfully at Roosevelt hospital for the treat- ment of rheumatism. Dr. Arthur W. Swann, graduate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and a native of Massachusetts, is conauct- ing the experiments. He started hem after recalling the legend of his boyhood days that a bee sting was a preventive of rheumatic pains. Dis- cussing the method and results, Dr. Swann said: “Tt have tried the treatment on four obstinate cases and at least it has resulted in a temporary improve- ment in each case. I think this is based on facts, that the stings causc 2 counter irritant,or that the peculiar sting of the bee acts as an antidote to the uric acid, which causes rheu- matism. “7 picked out four of the worst sufferers from rheumatism, those whose joints and limbs were stiffen- ed by the disease.

The car was part of the Denver & tio «60GGrande_ train No 4 which was held up at Military Junction a few weeks ago. The train was several hours late in reaching Denver and the Pullman was. backed into the vards to wait until morning. About five minutes after the engine had been detached, James @™ “Bruce, the colored porter was dragged out of his berth by two masked men, who, at the point of revolvers, marched him to the end of the car, -threaten- ing to kill him if he made an outcrp.

Some very striking pictures shown in the Post, illustrating the havoc wrought along the Catawba the floods. This article deals with the damage done to the farms caused by mud, and then traces to its cause the presence of this mud scattered over many acres of what was the finest farming lands in the Catawba river from its source to the South Carolina line. The Guiting down of the forests of the western part of the state and along the slopes of the Blue Ridge mountains is claimed as the cause for this destruction which the state has suffered. The illustrations in the Post are familiar to all who have traveled over the western road _ be- tween this-¢ity and Marion any time after one of these freshets.

Activity in the Bureau of Engraving Indicates That Stamp Taxes Will Find a Place in New Tariff Measure. Washington, March 52.—Unusual actfity at the Dureau of engraving and printing in the installaion of machines for the printing of stamps and the-working overtime of the en- tire stamp printing force, gives color to the belief that the new tariff bill will contain clauses re-enactting the stamp taxes that were levied during the Spanish-American war period. The bureau has been busy print- ing millions of stamps and it is be- lieved that the bureau officials antic- ipate or have been advised by the treasury department that the task will fall on the bureau to produce adhesive stamps for use on proprie- tary medicines, perfumery, chewing gum, checks, notes ana other com- mercial paper, light wines, etc. Me- chanics have been installing stamp printing machines and a force has been kept busy for the entire 24 hours for several days. Because of the limited space and facilities of the bureau, it will be necessary to start work almost im- mediately to make preparations to furnish stamps if Congress decrees that stamp taxes shall again be col- lected. The ordinary work of this branch of the treasury department necessitates two shifts a day to print the paper money, postage stamps and other plate printed matter. ——_<+@>e——_—_—_— JEFFRIES KILLS A BEAR.

The ex-champion went bear hunt- ing the other day in the mountains north of Los “Angeles, and all he prought back-was a wildcat and a pear. The last day of the hunt the big fellow went forth with nothing but a pair of Drass knuckles in his hunting coat. out of the box he came face to face with a bear. He picked up a rock at first and soaked Mr. Bruin, and then tle latter made a rush at he ex- champion that made him either a mark or a winner. As he says it" himself it better: “When I stood up in front of the old boy it made me feel as though I had gone back into the fight game again,’? said ‘Jeff,’ as an introduc- tion to the ‘bear story’ that was to come. I feinte€ with my left and the bear made a swipe at me with his right paw. This is going to be like grabsing money from him, I figured as I tried the same trick again. Sure enough, the old boy parried with his right mitt, and then I hook- ed in my old right fist to the chin, and he dropped in a heap.

Mr. SWhitiock was a tireless worker at his business, and those whose duties call for night werk Dear testimony to the fact that Mr. Whilock could be found work- ing in his store in the early hours of the morning, winter and summer. It was this fact, as much as any- thing rt contribued to his break- down. He was always of a pieasant and courteous’ disposition, a man whose temper was seldom ruffjed. “The funeral arrangements have not yet ‘Deen announced, but, as stated the body will be laid o rest in Richmond, Va.’’ a NO COUPONS WITH TOBACCO. New Tariff Bill Prohibits Placing Them in Tobacco or Cigarettes. Washington, D. C., March 23.— The coupons in bags of tobacco and the union label on packages of to- bacco is prohibited by one of the provisions of the Payne tariff bill. The provison relating to the subject is as follows: “None of the packages of smok- ing tobacco and fine cut chewing to- bacco and cigarette prescribed by law shall be yermitted to have pacx- ed in or attached to or connected with any article or thing whatsoever than the manufacturers wrappers or labels, the internal revenue stamp and the tohaec:) or cigarettes resp2c- tively put up therein, on which tax is required to be naid under the inter: nal revenue laws; nor shall there be affixed to or branded or stamped, marked, writt22 or printed upon said packages or their contents and promise or offe> of any order or cer- tertificate for eny gift, prize, rre- mium, payment or reward.” This provis‘en’ will not necessari-y compel tobacco znd cigarette mana- facturers to abandon the practic, of giving premiums in exchange for coupons, but they will have to de- vise some m2ans of distributing th> coupons other than in packages of cigaretttes or tobacco. ——____—<.-<r- oe World Wide Ré€ligious Campaign Commenced. Vancouver, B. C., March 24.—Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman and his party evangelists who during the past two years conducted simultaneous revi- val meetings in large cities through- tout the United States and Canada de- parted today for Australia, where they will continue to carry on their world-wide religious campaign. The party numbers more than a dozen persons. Among them are Charles Alexander, the noted singing evange- list, and Mr. and Mrs. William Ash- er, who are known as the saloon evangelists. — The evangelists will spend the summer conducting revival meetings in the large cities of Australia. Af- ter leaving Australia Dr. Chapman and his party will go to China, Ja- pan. Korea and the Philippines. In all of these countries they will con- duct meetings and confer with Amer- ican ~missionaries and native Chris- tians concerning their work. Will Have A New Depot COMMITTEES MET LAST NIGHT. Committees Are Appointed From th- Board of Aldermen, the Business Men, the Commercial Club and the Retail Merchants’ Association, to Communicate With the Railroad Officials, in Regards to a New Pas- Senger Station at This Place—It -is a Necessity Which Must be Had in This City—The Business Here is Amply Large to Enable the Southern to Build One. —ey It is now an evident fact that the business men of Statesville, as well as the citizens,are determined to have a new passenger station in this city. It is not merely for the fact that we want it“so much for style, but simply for the fact that we need a new one, and nééd it bad.. Realizing the ne- cessity of a new passenger depot, the susiness men of the city backed by a committee appoltted from the Soard of Aldermen, the Commercial Club and the Retail Merchants Asso- ciation, met last evening in the Com- mercial Club rooms, and perfected arransments, whereby they will en- ter into communication with the offi- cials of the Southern Railway Com- pany in regards to it, and they are aot going at it in a half hearted way. A represenative of this paper, in eonversation with one of the leaders of the motion was told by that gen- tleman that they not only wanted a new passenger station here, but would have it. While of course the _ station we have at present is a very commor looking affair, it is not so much the looks of it that counts just now, as it {is the accommodation. For several years past, the passenger station at this place ‘ias been entirely too small to begin to accomodate the traveling- public, especially on holiday occa- sions, When the public cannot possi- bly get into the depot to buy a ticket, much less for‘any other purpose. Any time most that one visits the depot, it is very uncomfortably crowded, especially in cold weather when the public wishes to draw near the stove and warm their toes. Not only this, but it is a very un- clean place, and a lady very reluct- antly goes into a place of that kind. Again there is no accommodation for the traveling public in the way of toilet rooms. which by all means should be installed in a station in a town the size of Statesville. In the summer time, there is half of the time, no place where the people can even get a cold drink of water. Many other reasons could be brought up, but the best reason, af- ter the above, is that Statesville is rightfully entitiéd fo one because the freight receipts at this place are the largest of most any own on this di- vision, if not larger. The business at this Town has grown as large if not larger than any other town on this division. Many other towns with much less population and much less business have much better depots than Statesville has. Satesville wants a new depot, needs a new 4epot, an@ will have a new depot, and it is up to the public to interest hemselves in the move- ment, and push the matter to a finish. ’ ———__~+-4 oe ; BOY HANGED BY HAZERS. ‘ Strung up for Reporting Rule in- fractions. Indianapolis, March 24.—Officers today began an investigation of the death by hazing of Charles Stinston, a pupil at the White School in White county. Stinston. if is alleged, was strung up by the ankles to a sapling near the school and left hanging so long that he died a few hours after he was taken down. Several teach- ers of tfe school had been driven away by unruly pupils. A few Gays ago a new teacher was employed. He was more determin- ed than hts predecessors and whipped several rebellious boys. These cas- tigated pupils alleged that Stinston tattled and thus caused their humfil- iation. ——___-~-< -o——__———— To win a prize of $5,000 a man makes a voyage from Jacksonville to San Domingo, to return via Haiti and in a row boat. : Ni n t t e t e d i n Pe a e ea r s ic e d er e FR R AP BA S : de e ad e G2 ea n ta r e ee ee ee ee e ee e " re e ot - "1 oo o a ; a 5 ie _ - ep e a n e p e e n a n g ee pa e e n t e q n a y e Se eg ee ee e aa e t e e = pa u : pp e a e n g e e d s - an t e a e e n a n - £ o - > - g m a e t e e a aa a ee e ® ng ea e ne Te r e le dh ed a S4 3 + Se a m =~ S pe e or e ea e ee = ps oi s ai e a e n a a i i a l al t i m a ei n e s oo > pa Se Sa d Se Se ea n pa a tH e ne e > Se a w e e d +S ee e co s a ? te e on a ‘ Sr el d Re be > So S re ae ‘ . ne e a e ee ee a ey vv , A a . me bs a " NP A eT eee ? : a 4 a : me Me 4 4 ps a = OF See me 6° CaaS Nemes | PO HOUSE Dear Pest Watch This Space gAFT WANTS A Co e Kutered at the Postofiicein Statesville} J. €,. as second-class mail matter. {| Vene7ile —— LUG Office 109 Court St. Phone 355. ——— Subscription Price,....$4.00 a Year i = _ HE TALKS ABOUT HIS POWER. i Sukscription Price, 10 Cents a Week SS VANCE NORWOOD - Publisher. | At the Railway Station This Morning RALPH SLOAN, - - City Editor, he Stated HiS, Intention of Re-Eisa EE SPT | ablishing His Power in Yenezucia by Revolution if NecCssary—Ssait pecided Sentimo! of 2n in A instead crystalizins im th ~ of Congress, From ber by Hearmse Way of Petition Tog ale For Saturday’s Program ing in—Proponitis popbin 4 ‘ - i, Again ies y Ye | ~ Taft Changes ®™ Weather Forecasts.

One night in the eighties a heifer from the Murietta ranch, in south- | ern California, was killed by <, mountain lion that lived in the fast- | xess back in the San Bernardino | range. From our camp the nest aay | we noticed several buzzards on 2, dead pine up the hillside. One of| the rancheros pointed out a lone epeck floating in the summer sky. “King of the buzzards,” he said. An hour later tbe speck had increased in size, and he pointed to another speck just within the scope of vi- sion. The next day the old Mexican took me up the arroyo, and I count- ed seventeen buzzards and two other big birds that seemed twice the size of avbuzzard feasting on the carcass of the heifer. I was interested in the big birds, but the only informa- tion I received was a gesture back toward the highest peak of the range. Years later, as my interest 1p birds grew, I could get comparative: ly little information about this “king of the buzzards,” or Califor- nia condor (Cathartes california- nus), for not many people had ever seen the bird, and very few had first hand information as to its nesting habits. The report that it was rapidly following the great auk and that the species would soon become extinct was not without some foundation, for the California condor has a range more restrieted than any oth: er bird of prey. In the early part of the last century it was reported fairly common as far north as the Columbia river region. But now it seerns to have entirely disappeared from that locality. Once it was re- ported in Utah, and Dr. Ebliott Coues saw it in Arizona in 1865. With the exception of a record in southern Oregon, the habitat of the California condor now seams to be the region from Monterey county, Cal., south through the mountains of the coast range and the exten- sion of the San Bernardino range in Lower Czalifornia. There is ne record of the bird in Mexico. It is not surprising that collector: have searched the mountains and that museums are willing to pay big prices for the eggs, for after a cor- respondence of several years Mr. W. Lee Chambers has yound that there are now only forty-one California condor eggs (twenty-six first clase and fifteen second class) in the va rious museums and private collec- tions of the werld, while there are about seventy eggs of the great auk, which is now extinct. There are only half a dozen of the birds in captivity, and that number is not likely to be increased to any extent at present.—Century Magazine. QQ DP DP D P P P B P I D D D I P I I K ID I SI I . An “Unfortunate Experience.” The chief constable of Manches. ter in an after dinner speech told a queer story of a Newton Heath workman’s “unfortunate experi- ence” with a pcliceman. The work. man was absent from his work for a fortnight, and when he reappear. ed his employer wanted an explane- tion, and this is how the man gave it: “Well, sir, a fortnight ago I had a great misfortune. I was going home along street when I found a policeman leaning against a wall. He seemed to be drunk, and I thought the best thing I could do was to take him to the Newtor Heath police station. I did so, but the moment I got him there he caine to himself and charged me with being drunk, and the magis- trate believed him and gave me fourteen days.” An “unfortunate experience” indeed !—Westminster Gazette.

The Boys From Davidson and Guil- ford Will Cross Bats Here on Next Saturday—Tight Game is Fx- pected. ; Statesville is to have a base ball game which will be the “real article.’’ The game will be between the David- son and Guilford teams and promises to be one of the best college games played in the state this year. These two teams are both strong aggrega- tions and both are going to make everybody they meet “move some.” Davidson and Guilford have both had well matched teams for the past four years, and they have become great rivals in base ball circles. In 1907 Davidson proved herself Guilford’s superior” and last year Guilford turned the tables on David- son. So this year they are coming together with a “mighty clash,’’ to see “Who is who.” The Davidson team is composed of some of the fastest men in the south. There being four, ten and one half second men in her line up. They are a‘quck, snappy, set of lads and hit like “old timers.’® Teyh are all determination to win and the David- son supporters hope to see them take in most all of the twenty-seven games they have on their schedule. The Guilford team has—as it it usually does—a strong team. They have several of their last year’s men back and from their past records, should put up a hard game. (All in all the game is to be one of the best of the season. The peo- ple of Statesville should turn out to see this game as it is the finest colleg’ gaMe which they have had in several years and as they will have a fine ex- hibition of the national sport. The line up for Davidson will prob- ably be as follows: Turner, first base. Wilkinson, second base. McRae, short stop. Booe, third base. Klutfz, left field. McClure, center field Mills, right field.

In the Outlook of March 13, Ex- President Roosevelt gives the public a leaf from the book of his experi- ence. He tells how he entered pol- iti¢és with a prejudice against Tabor- ing men and against those who plead the cause of the toilers. He says that he had studied ‘“‘what were then considered the orthodox politica! economists’* and that his associates “were for the most part lawyers or wealth who quite sincerely took the ordinary wealthy business man’s view of iabor ters.”” He describes his connection with an investigation which opened his eyes to the unsanitary conditions surrounding cigar-works, and how he joined in reporting a bill for the improvement of these conditions. He gives a picture of the contest with the lawyers of the various employers and tenement house owners against the law and he and a few representa- tives of the cigarmakers’ union in favor of the law. He continues his story by citing the contest before the court in which the judges took the sides of the-employers and tenement house owners: “The judges, as was quite natural, shared the feelings of the classes from which they were drawn, and with which they associated. The de- cision went against the dwellers in the tenement houses. Anything like an effective reformation of tene- ment house conditionss was thereby deferred for fifteen or twenty years, and during that time men, women, and child¥eh Were” guaranteed their ‘liberty’ to fester in sodden misery.”’ His reason for entering upon this narrative is given as follows: ““My reason for relating this anec- dote is because from that day to this I have ‘an evér-growing conviction of the need of having on the bench men who, in addition to being learn- ed if Tie law and upright. shall posséss a broad understanding of and sympathy with their countrymen asa whole, so that the questions of humanity and of social justice shall not be considered by them as wholly inferior to the defense of vested rights or the upholding of liberty of contract. A hair-splitting refine- ment in decisions may result in as much damag, to the community as if the judge were actually corrupt. Freedom of contract should be per- mitted only so far as compatible with the bestt inerest of the community; and when vested rights become in- trenched wrongs, they should be overturned. I do not for one mo- ment believe that the mass of our judges are actuated by any but worthy motives. Nevertheless, I do believe that they often signally fail to protect the laboring men and the laboring“man’s widow and children in their just rights, and that heart- breaking and pitiful injustice too often results therefrom; and this primarily because our judges lack either the opportunity or the power thoroughly to understand the work- ing man’s and working woman’s po- sition and vital needs.” —_——_—__-3+ > —_____ Spent Over 105 Years in One County Pensacola, Fla., March 24.—-Born within ten miles of the place where she died, having left there only three times during her career, and never having left the county of her birth is the record of Mrs. Mary Pitts who is dead at McKinville 20 miles from this city, at the age of 105 years, 5 months and 5 days. mat Bo ar a Saale rae ARN RL STATESVILLE DIRERTORY cA New Issue Will be ready about March 20th, 1909.

Many Statesville people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health, but there is no need to suffer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and permanently cured by the use of Doan’s Kidne Pills. Here is a Statesvlile citizen recommen dation. Mrs, S. Revis, living at 212 Sev- enth St,, Statesville, N. C., says: “T can recommend Poan’s Kidney Pills as a remedy that acts up to its representations. I sent to Hall’s Drug store, and procured them while suffering from pains through the low- er part of my hack and _ frequent headaches which had caused me great distress. Their use improved my condition in every way. Doan’s Kidney Pills proved so satisfactory in my case that I do not hesitate to recommend them to other sufferers.”’ For sale by all dealers.

Promising to — Washington, D. C., Friday, 26 —Representative Pou, of North Carolina, made a vigerous at- tack on the Payne bill today. He said the Republicans agreed to revise the Dingley tariff down- ward and downward and was un- derstood by the people, but the Payne bill is worse than the Dingley bill, which all parties now agree must pass from the law books. “In the teeth of this promise to revise downward, you have revised upward,” said Mr. Pou, ‘Increasing the average advalo. rem rate from 54.16 per cent. under the Dingley bill to 45.72 under the proposed Payne bill. You have a deficit confronting you and you mnst take care of it, but you have been eareful not to legislate to that the great tarifi-fostered trusts would have to bear their part of the taxes orsurrender any part of thd: unreasonable burden.”’ Hecalled upon the minority to defeat this the worst of ¢ll tariff bills ever submitted to con- gress.

The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care can- not be used to protect the children. A child is muck more likely to con- tract diphflieria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk, Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F.

Glass sheets held by frames a few, inches apart are smeared rather’ thickiy with lard, and between these sheets the freshly picked blossoms. are scattered, touching the frames, but not being pressed by them. In! one day the oil of the flowers exudes, | and the lard absorbs the precious drops. If the flowers are plentiful, they may be changed as often as every six hours and in the case of jonquils thirty times. Jasmine i3 usually changed eighty times before the layers of lard are entirely satu- rated. When the lard has absorbed as much oil as possible from the flowers, it is melted and dissolved in purified alcohol made from grain. When this mixture is filtered, the concentrated extract may be redis- solved in spirits, diluted or mixed with other oils, according to the strength or quality desired. Attar of roses and neroly, the base of eau de cologne, are made by a different method. The perfume may be extracted by an ordinary rocess of distillation if a very even Peat is maintained, but the usual method is the bain marie. large kettle of lard is immersed in a tub of water at the boiling point until the grease reaches a uniform tem- erature and is entirely melted. nto this warm lard the petals of orange blossoms or of roses are thrown. The petals remain a day or less in this bath, and then the in- odorous wilted flowers are removed and fresh ones submerged until the mixture attains the desirad strength. The women beat the mixture into a cream. After the pomade is rade the oil may be shipped in this state or distilled and sold in its concen- trated form as attar of roses or ne- roly or diluted to the strength of “perfume” or eau de cologne. Twenty thousand pounds of rose petals are required to make one pound of attar of roses, valued at about $200. A thousand pounds approximately of the petals of the flower of the bitter orange are nec- essary to make a pound of neroly, valued at $20 on an average.—Jane Rosamond White in World Today. He Wanted a Smoke. An old Welsh preacher in his eightieth year, who was an invet- erate smoker, was one day driving out with his servant, also noted for the quantity of tobacco he con- sumed. Suddenly the trap overturned, with the old man underneath, the groom having succeeded in jump- ing on to the hedge. A crowd of men by whom the old man was almost worshiped at once rushed to the spot and proceedec -o raise the capsized vehicle, believ- ing that the old gentleman was seri- ously hurt, if not killed. They had raised one side of the Deneath and addressed his servant: “George, have you got a light ?”’ As Many Bald Women as Men. “Why is it men get bald and wo- men don’t ?” At this question the hairdresser laughed. “My ‘ear sir,” he-said, “there are quite as many bald women as men— in fact, I incline to believe that there are more.” Ile pointed to the switches, curls, fronts, fringes and complete female wigs in his window. “Why would those things exist if women didn’t get bald?” he said. “The hairdresser puts in all his spare time in making false hair con- trivances, and nine out of ten of them are made for woman. Well, woman wouldn’t wear them if she didn’t need them, would she?”— New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Itseems that Mr. West has been missing chickens every Saturday night since Christmas, every chicken he had being stolen but one rooster and two old hens which were setting.

Finally after a wait of several hours, the stillness was suddenly broken by the old rooster’s cackling and squawking. Mr, West and his son upon hearing the rooster immediately fell out of the barn loft and went for the chick- en coop When they arrived there it was found that the door was open and some one was in the coop. ‘I’-ey asked who was in the coop several times but got no answer. It being very dark Mr West could not see who was in the coop, and sent his sson to the house to bring a lantern. returned, saying he could not find it.

The standard bill of lading which goes into effect all over the Southern system on next Thursday, April Ist, marks an era in the railway freight annals of this section. Sample copies of the new document are now avail- able at the. offices of the Southern in this city, and should be secured by shippers at once. In connection the following announcement will be of interest: “Shippers having unused supply of their own bills of lading may, after April 1, and until said supply is ex- hausted, use same if plainly endorsed across the face thereof, Subject to terms and conditions of Southern Railway standard bill of lading.’ ” It has been suggested that those who have a supply of the old bills on hand, where others cannot be had at once, have a rubber stamp made which will read as the above endorse” ment, leaving the name of the rail- road blank so that the stamp can be used for all roads when the name is filled in with ink. —t<+>- oe ——_—___-— OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT. John Thompson, in His Entertain- ments, “The Funny Fellows From New York. John Thompson, America’s most versatile comedian, has given his entertainment “The Funny Fellows of New York’’ in every state, every territory, city, and every town of importance—and a lot of towns of no importance—in the the United States This entertainment has been pro- duced by him so often that it is now perfection. For two years he offered to give any person in the audience a ten dol- lar bill that could even make a sug- gestion where any improvement could De made in the performance, but not one person in all this time could see where the performance could be im- proved. 7 The entertainment is strictly mor- al, although of the most humorous characer, and you are obliged to laugh whether you wish to or not. As the people of Statesville will never get another chance to see a performance like this—becauses there is no other—they should not hesitate to see this entertainment, as tomor- row it will be gone, perhaps forever. EXTRA. In addition to John Thompson’s great vaudeville entertainment to- night “The Funny Fellows of New York,” the managers of the opera house have decided to produce some of their best moving pictures before the entertainment takes place, so be on hand early.. pO AGED LADY DEAD.

Bagby was about twenty five years ago, the pastor of the Statesville circuit, and many of the older citizens r°“member him well. His sermon yesterday was greatly enjoyed by all who heard him. Hon. Z. V. Long’s address on “Our Prohibition Laws,” at the First Bap- tist church last night,¥o the Baptist Young People’s Union, was largely attended, and was pronounced fine, by all who neard it. Rev. W.

Mr. Garland Munday returned to Charlotte this~morning after spend- ing several days here with home folks. From the looks of the boys be- longing to the Davidson college team, who were in the city today, Guilford college will have their hands full on next Saturday, when they play here. The street sprinkler came out of its winter quarters today, and is lay- ing the dust on the strets. Some party or parties were prowl- ing around the home of Mr. J. S Foster on Water street last night, about 2 o’clock, but were frightened away. Mr. Foster was awakened by} the parties walking upon his back porch | and asked who it was, but the party escaped. Mr. Foster is confident that there was two per- sons in the party, as he could hear their foot steps as they left the house. Heo Eggs and Easter. The egg has from time immemor- ial been connected with this season of the year. In Africa they even worship it, and no altar decoration is considered finished without a circle of eggs, while each private family boasts at least one sacred egg. The custom of using eggs is sup- posed to have originated with the an- cient Greeks and Romans, who col- ored them to use in their pagan fes- tival. Marvelous stories may be found of bewitched eggs, said to be able to fly straight toward the sun, and one famous variety was said to have been laid by a rabbit. So even in those remote time the Easter ‘“‘bunny”’ had a place. In Ger- many he has been known these many years.- The children of the father- land watch eagerly for the hare who hides his eggs so carefully for their finding on Easter morning. Russia is really the paradise of the Easter egg. Every one carries one on the street and presents to his friends, saying ‘‘Christ is risen,’’ the recipient responding: ‘‘He is risen, indeed.”’ In practical bustling America this season is becoming a much-looked for occasion. We are beginning to live up to many of the beautiful tra- ditions of the past, of which the leg- ends concerning Easter are the most beautiful of all. ———_++@-—__—_ FOUND BUCKET OF COIN.

Although the officers accompanied Mrs. Boyle on thé train from this city to Mercer, she scared them so badly in an attempt to either escape or in- jure herself that the experience will never be forgotten. Both Boyle and his wife are now locked up in the jail at Mercer, where they wll remain wutil brought to trial for the kidnaping.

Vango~used a method to encom- pass his death which required al- most Spartan courage. He twisted a handkerchief around his neck, and after tieing it secure, tightened it with a small piece of lead pencil. which he:used as a tourniquet, until it closed his windpipe. He then threw himself on the cect, placed his bends under his abdomen, buried his tace in the py@lew end waited for death. With the same pencil he had pre- viously written two notes of fare- well, one to his wife and the other to Detective James Murphy, who captured him in Chicago. To his wife he wrote: ‘‘Dear wife: Death is but ‘eternal sleep; why why should f stay and suffer? For- give me. Jim.” His note to Detective Murphy was a practical zdmission of the crime of which he is charzed. De Vallant was murdered early in the morning of March 15. The ho- tel had peen rifled, De Vallant’s watch a money were gone and the safe had been tampered with. Van- go, who had been a porter in the ho- tel disappeared about the time of the crime and was suspected. De- tective Murphy found him in Chicago Vango @jnfessed that he had planned the murder but said that the killing was done by two accomplices. en SCHAWB DOESN’T CARE.

I feel just as Andrew Carnegie does on that American labor can make the best steel in the world and with it we can compete with the world. I know nothing about other lines, that is, technically, but I have enough confidence in American labor to be- lieve that the tariff can be cut with- out injuring business. “T have been in contact with labor of all kinds for many years, and I know what it can do. I know that American workmen can produce more steel in a given time fan any others in the world. We have nothing to fear from a cut in duties, because we have the best goods. It’is true that we pay our workmen more mon-y than other nations, but you always have to pay skillful workmen the highest wages.

A story is told of how the reluctant giving of a promissory note by a pénni- iess New York lawyer brought a for- tune into his pocket amounting to sev- eval millions. The man referred to, John M. Bixby, went to New York in 1820 from a backwoods district as a half starved lawyer. To pay $424 week for board and washing kept him on the serge of bankruptcy. He struggled on for a year or two and was constantly secking odd jobs outside of the law to enable him to exist when a friendly lawyer in whose office he had desk room called him aside one day. “tfere is a chance for you, Bixby,” said the lawyer. “I have an estate to settle and must get rid of the farm on the north side of the city. It is ap- that figure.” _ “JT have not a dollar to my name,” exclaimed Bixby. “You ean give me your note, and I pay it,” replied the lawyer. time.

New York, March 28—Denouncing in plain terms women and men of the upper classes who drink and smoke, painting a fearful picture of the re- sults of dissipation, and @eclaring consciousness the only means of stamping out vices that are sapping the physical and moral life of the body politic, Dr. John D. Quackenbos, fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, last night de livered a remarkable address in the church of the Covenant. The congregation was unusually large, a majority of those present being women. Dr. Quackenbos mercilessly arraigned society for the presence of the punch bowl at social functions, and paid his respects to “the proud-pied women who dips freely in the punch tewl, school misses, college girls and debutantes who unblushingly assert a right to drink wine and smoke cigarettes at luncheons and [eves.’? ——_—+<~e-o——_— - $18,000 Fire in Salisbury.

There was about $2,000 worth of stock on hand and the building and machinery was valued at $16,000. The fire was discovered by the watchman but gained such rapid headway and as no means were at hand for fighting the flames the entire plant was quickly | consumed. It is claimed that spark from a passing locomotive originated the fire. The plant had not been in operation for sévera: months and had been placed in the hands of a re ceivers, Attorneys Stahle Linn, E. C. Gregory and Hayden Clement being the receivers and was advertised to be sold at public auction on Monday, April 12th.

Because Name of Suburb Has Been! Changed, Woman Says She Will Open Negro Neighborhood. New York, March 28.—Mrs. Caro- line A. Dow, the widow of a real es- tate operator, who first opened up a suburb of Yonkers, N. Y., known as Yonkers’ Park, threatens to sell her property holdings there in a fashionable neighborhood exclusive- ly to negroes because the name of the suburb has changed to Crest- wood. She has authorized a reai estate agent to sell her residence provided the purchasers conspicuously posits the following sign: “Boarding house, negroes.”’ “Laundry for negroes.”’ “Road house for negroes.’’ ‘ “Undertaking and embalming for negroes only” The residence is at present occu- pied by Eva Booth, of Salvation Army fame. A negro physician has already offered to buy the house, but declines to post the signs. +e Grover Cleveland’s Ideal About Ex- Presidents.

Now there was Harrison; he went into law. The first time he got up to argue a ease-in court everybody laughed. it seemed so queer I know how it is. I went back into law myself between the two terms at Washington Well, the first time I went into court, the supreme court, there on the bench sat two judges J had ap- pointed myself. No, it doesn’t do. ee. So a fellow has to remain a loafer all the rest of his life simply because~he happened to be president. It isn’t right. It isn’t fair.’ “ “Why don’t you write about this subject?’ was suggested. “<*T’d like to, I’d like to very well —only they’d say I was trying to feather my own nest.’ “When finally he wrote his paper on this important subject he pre- faced his discussion by stating that he had enough for his own needs, and that no one should take what he! said as a plea in his own behalf. As if anyone would.”’ —_—————_+§ Prohibitionists to Have Official Organ Asheville, March 29.—The first issue of the North Carolian Prohibi- tion Review, a monthly to be devoted to the interests of the Prohibition party, will appear on the first day of April, according to L.

Spier, a trained nurse, and a daughter of Mrs.. Marion Spier, died at her home here last night from streptococcic poison, which she contracted from kissing a dying patient who was. suffering from diptheria. She nursed Mrs. Virginia Callin Carder, wife of Dr. George L. Car- der, and right after Mrs. Carder’s death Miss Spier contracted diph- theria. This disease was success- fully baffled, but a mastoid abcess developed and from that time her friends despaired, although an oper- ation was performed by Dr. H. O. Belk, of Baltimore, in the hope that she might recover. Mrs. Carder, who had become devoted to Miss Spier, when dying asked Miss Spier to kiss her. This the latter did, and the doctors say through the kiss Miss Spier became infected, her malady and death be- ing similar to Mrs. Carder’s. A diphtheretic condition, with streptococcic poison, developed, the girl’s throat first being attacked, then her head and ear. The poison then became general. The caSe was most thoroughly gone into by the doctors, and during the progress the disease germs were placed on slides and examined Her body was placed in @ nermeticaly sealed casket The funeral will take place tomor- row morning from her home. —_—_—__4+~@roe——————_ GAVE BLOOD FOR HIS FRIEND. will reach $100,000.

Woodleaf, March 31.—-We are having some pretty weather after a continued wet spell. Farmers have gotten very much behind with their farm work. Wheat is looking fine. About all the farmers have finished sowing oats, but not a very large crop has been sowed this year. Farmers have begun thinking that they have been cultivating too much cotton and not enough grain, such as corn, wheat oats and rye. and I think the price that is being paid by our good farmers for flour at the present time is enough to convince any man to plant less cotton and more wheat and corn.

There is no more entertaining way to spend an idle hour in Paris than to get | into a taxicab and instruct the driver to go along some street where you will be reasonably sure to get into a jam or to bump against another eab. The charm of the experience is, of course, enhanced by your ignorance of what the cabbies say. Should your driver merely graze the wheels of an‘ther cab he will turn on his seat and yell mellifiuously at the other driver, who in turn will shout back an assortment of vowels. But the best is a quarrel between two cab- bles obstructing each others way. The conversation, translated as nearly literally as is safe, goes in this wise: “Sacred name! Why do you?” “Holly blue! I do not?’ “Stomach on the ground! the face of an ox!” “Blue stomach! Are you in chains?” “a bas! Name of a dog!” “yJon Dieu! Name of a pig!” “Wow (or words to that effect)! Name of a name!” “as thousand deaths! pame of a name!” Now you begin to expect some do- ings. While you have not fully un- derstood, you are satisfied that nothing but pistols and knives will wipe out the insults. Unfortunately about this time the jam is untangled and you are allowed to drive away, but the other. driver yells after yours: “aha! You are a& brown soap!” It seems that this expression is the “fighting name” in Paris. Were it not that your cabby owes a duty to you and must convey you to your destina- tion you know by his facial expres- sion that he would climb down and get that other cabby and muss up the eity with him. He contents himself with turning about and making a face in the direc- tion of his enemy and of going throug’ the motion of spitting at him. Then he says “Yoop!” to the horse, and the war is over.—Chicago Post. THATCHING. The Ancient Art In the Low Countries | and In England. Once upon a time two amateur bot: anists were hunting bog mosses OL Exmoor, on the confines of the land ot Lorna Doone. About the hour of luncheon they found that their enthu- siasm had led them far afield, a good hour and a half from the farmhouse which they had made their temporary headquarters. The only place which yielded promise of food was a shep- berd’s shack half a mile distant. so thither they went. That tbe sback. or, rather, its owner, a small, wiry. dark man with curly hair, could offer nothing better than brown bread. which was woefully “clit,” or heavy, and raw onions is neither here nor there. The point was that the roof of the shack was artistically thatched with layers of plaited reeds. “Feyther taught I th’ way to do un,” explained the shepherd, with an up- ward jerk of his thumb toward the roof. “An’ his feyther taught ’im avore that, an’ his feyther avore that, an’ back an’ back twill nobody can think.” “4 hereditary art evidently,” said one of the moss hunters to his com- panion. “But I never saw thatches like these outside of the Low Countries. Safe bet that this fellow is of Dutch descent.” Then he said to the man of Devon, “And what is your name, may I ask?” “Well,” replied the shepherd, “most volk call I Van, but ma right name be Henry Van Torp. They do say that ma gurt-grandfeyther were a-vitin’ against England an’ were took prison- er an’ married a Devon girl an’ set- tled ’ereabout”—he indicated the south- ward sweep of the moor—“but these be a lot of voolish tales to ma think- in’.”—Craftsman. You have Name of a little piece of A Town of Macs. Scotsmen are remarkably successful as colonists. They are also very clan- nish. There are many prosperous set- tlements in Greater Britain where Caledonians largely predominate, but the names of these localities do not carry that fact on their face.

The quantity of light emitted by many minute deep sea animals is so great as to supply over definite areas of the sea bottom a sufficient iumina- tion to render visible the colors of the animals themselves. Some cephalopods are furnished with apparatus whick reflects the light from their phosphor- escent bodies upon the sea bottom over which they float. This reflecting ap- paratus is spoken of as “an efficient bullseye lantern for use in hunting through the abysmal darkness.” The Contrary. “TJ dropped some mouey in the mar ket today,” announced Mr. Wyss at the dinner table. “Again?’ exclaimed Mrs. Wyss re- proachfully. “No,” replied Mr. Wyss mcurnfully; “g loss.”—Judge’s Library.
