The CHAPTER XV. " OK THE XNEEB 01 THE HIOH OOH. IT was on the evening of the day following the aafe blowing in Blount's offices In the Temple court building that a one car special train slipped unostentatiously into the capital from the east, running as second section of the overland. Coincident with Its sidetracking, O'Brlan, the vice president's aecretary, dropped from the step of the car and made his way acroaa the tracks in the yard to the nearest railroad telephone, which chanced to be in the yard mas ter's office. Fifteen minutes later the result of O'Brlan's telephoning became evident Gantry and Klttretfge, the division su perintendent, left their respective of fices In the railroad building, met In the echoing train shed and walked to gether down the yards. The vice president, sitting at the great table In the open compartment which served him as a desk In work ing hours, looked up and nodded when his two subordinates entered. "You got my message?" he qperled. Gantry answered for both. "Yes, and we were waiting. Your orders have been carried out Nobody out side of the dispatcher's office and ,the few men In the yard crew knows that you are here." Mr. McVlckar sat back In his chair, took one of the large black cigars from the open box on the table and passed the box across to his two sub alterns. "Light up," he said tersely. "I am due In Twin Canyon City tomorrow morning, and we've got to thrash this thing out in a hurry. Any change In the situation since your last report?" Gantry shook his head. "Nothing very Important. Blount's uptown of fices were broken Into last night, and his safe was ripped open with dyna mite. That's all." "Well," said thenblg man at the ta ble, "what came of it?" "Nothing so far as any one can find out" To a dislntereßtr.'l observer it might have seemed a little curious that the vice president made no further Inquiry Into the safe blowing. As a matter of fact, his next question completely Ig nored It. "What has Blount been doing this week?" he asked. "He has spoken twice, once at Arl qulpa and once at IlellersVllJe. 001-11ns 11ns says he has engagements enough to keep him out of town right up to election day." "That's good," was the noddad ap proval. "He'd only be In the way here at the capital." "That young man has been pretty nearly a frost," remarked Klttredge casually. "If he Isn't a wild eyed fanatic, as Gantry here Insists he la, he la deeper than the deep bine aea. I've been > ">eplng tab on him, as you directed, and he has worn out three of my best office men trying to keep cases on him." "You are prejudiced, Klttredge," was the vice president's comment "It was the best move In the entire cam paign putting blm In the field. I don't auppoee be has accomplished much In a practical way, but we have kept the Honorable Dave from using him, aa be meant to." "I don't know about the accomplish ment" put In Gantry. "There Is a four ply mystery linked up In this speechmaklng business. At first I thought Evan Blounfs sudden popu larity dated back to some wort sent out from your Chicago office, bat when you told me It didn't I began to do a little wondering on my own accooat I can't make up my mind yet whether It Is pure popularity growing oat of his speeches or whether it's the as sisted kind." "Aaelsted?" aald the vice president with a lifting of tbe heavy penthouse eyebrows. "Yea," Gantry went on. "It baa been too unanimous. Collins baa kept ae posted, and be taya the Invitations have fluttered In thicker than the au tumn leaves In Vallombroea, and Xlttredge'a men tell oa that tbe young orator has be«b making what figured aa a trtamphal progresa all over tbe atsto—bands, receptions, committees, banqueting and all that everywhere ha has gone.". . "But hla apiackas have been straight to the point, oar point," Interrupted the vie* president I've been reading them." Klttredge shook hla head. "Gantry Bays Tee,' bat I say Ho.'" ha contended. "There Is such a thing as patting too mach sugar In the cof fee. Blount's bean overdoing it He's bean putting tbe whitewaah on so thick that any little handful of mud that happen, to be throws will stick and look bad." "We must take chances on that," was Mr. McVleksr's derision. "Toung Blaanfs good work has undoubtedly had Its affect a poo public sentiment There Is a distinctly better feeling to ward pa, and It Is fairly state wide. We moat be exceedingly careful not to let ths oppoatqgg _jew«oaoer» gat hold Honorable Senator Sagebrush By "** FRANCIS LYNDE Cepyritf*. 14Mi br * Smith of anything that can be oaea agamst ua." "They are moving heaven and earth to do It," aald the superintendent. "And I believe that old David la help ing them. That la the explanation of the aafe blowing incident, aa I put It up." Again the rice president refused to comment on the office breaking. "What I am moat afraid of now la that our'young man will be overxeal- OUH," he aatd musingly. "He la some thing of a fanatic, aa you have Inti mated, Gantry." "He's more than that." Kith-edge put In qnlckly. "I've had one man keep- lng tab on him—Farnsworth—who la aa good aa any detective that ever walked. He aaya Blount lan't half aa In nocent as be looks. His speechmaklng has taken blm Into every corner of the state, and Farns worth aay* he has been doing a lot of quiet prying and Investigating oa the side—looking op evidence, was what my man thought" Gantry began to look uncomfortable. "Perhaps I ought to have mentioned It before," ho said. "Blount has been holding me up to the rack all along; says If he preaches straight we've got to walk straight I've argued with him, but It doesn't do any good." Once more the vice president's heavy eyebrows rose. "Yon mean that be might be tempted to try compulsion?" he asked. "Yes—er—ln fact, he has threatened to do Just thnt," stammered the traffic man. At that the shaggy eyebrows bent themselves Into a frown of abstracted reflection. "We must take care not to give him a chance," he announced Anally. "Dur ing the few days that Intervene be tween now and the election he must be kept safely ip band. It won't do for him to be around and In the way while you two are trying to do busi ness with Hathaway and the others. Keep him out of the capital. And If you think he has been gathering evi dence see to It that he doesn't get a chance to übb It. How about that mat ter in the Fifth ward? We've got to make sure of Gryson this time." Klttredge held up a thumb and fore finger tightly pressed together. "We've got the city w*rds right there," he said, "with the Honorable David pretty safely euchred. He is playing a deep game this time—so deep that It Is altogether underground and out of sight. But we have him down Just the same." The vice president reached over and pressed the bell push which Signaled to his train conductor. "That la all I have to aay," bo con cluded. "Keep your eye on young Blount and get rid of blm for a few days. I'll leave the details to you. Get orders for me as you go up, Klt tredge. and let ma out as soon as pos sible. I ought to be Halfway to Alkali by this time." It was young Ranlett a reporter for the Dally Capital, who told Evan Blount of the arrival of the 'presi dent's car, running as MeoDd section of the overland. Ranlett had tried Ineffectually to get to the private car, having for his ob ject the interviewing of the vice presi dent Blount thought It a little singular that the rice president should come to the capital secretly, but he did not ■top to speculate upon this. Having something more than a sus picion that Gantry was not passing his threat of expomre op to McVlckar, be determined at one* to seek an In terview with the vice president. .Walking rapidly down to the Sierra avenue station, be saw a light In Gan try's office, and, meaning to be fair first and severe afterward, if needful, be ran up the stair and tried the door of the traffic manager's office. It opened under his band. Gantry was at bis desk. "Harriett tens me that McVlckar Is ta town," he began abruptly. "Where la her "Ranlett la mlataken—about twenty minutes mistaken," waa Oan#y'e re ply. "Mr. McVlckar paaaed through here a taw mlnatca ago on Ma way to Twin Canyon City. Hla a pedal ha> been gone aome little time." "When la be coming bark?" "I don't know." "DM you aee klof ' • "1 did." "Did yon take up with blm tbe mat ter of Issuing new tariffs—to do away with the preferential or to level the public rmtea down to them?" Gantry shifted uneaally In bla chair and tried to evade. "There waa very little time," be aald. "Mr. McVlckar waa In a great harry, and bla a pedal waa held only a few minutes." Bleant crossed the room aad eat down. "Dick, we've come to the last round up," be aald gravely. "In tbe nature of things' I can't give you any mora time. You've got to do aomething and do It quickly. Lefa go up and see tbe editor of tbe Capital." "What for?" demanded Gantry. 1 want you to give him an Inter view to the effect that a revision of the freight ratea la la proceee and that ahlppera having grtevancee shoald present themselves at ones. That will at least start the ball to rolling In tbe tight direction." > "I shoald think It would," scoffed the traffic manager. "What /on don't GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY, MAY 25,1911. know about the making 6r rrergfirlSF iffs would sink a ship, Evan. These things can't bo done while you wait." "But they've got to be In this in stance," Blount insisted. "If you don't withdraw the preferential given to the corporations you must do the other thing. Post your legnl notice of a re duction of the rates on the commodities upon which you nre now allowing re bates, and I'll light straight through on the line I've been taking." "And If we don't?" queried Gantry. "If you don't do one or the other there will be an explosion. Just as I've told you. Of course you know that my safe was broken open last night— wrecked with dynamite?" "Yes." "Well, unluckily for you, the packet of papers which might otherwise have been taken or destroyed didn't happen to be In the safe. The documents are ■till where they can be used at a mo ment's noUce. And, Dick, I'll use my ammunition If you don't play fair." Gantry, long suffering and patient to a fault In a business affair, was not al together superhuman. "Evan, you nre a frost—a black frost You stand up so straight that you lean over backward. Don't you know that the Transcontinental is big enough and ■trong enough to chivvy you from ons tnd of thla country to the other if you turn traitor? 1 love a fighting man, but I haven't any use for a fool." Blount laughed. "If I have succeeded In making yon angry perhaps there Is a chance that you will do something. You may corse md out all you want to, but the fact re mains. I'm going to explode the bomb, ■nd It will be touched off far enough before election to do the work If you keep on refusing to make my word to the people good. That Is all—all the aIL Now, will yon go up to the Capital office with me and dictate that bit of Information that I mentioned?" "Not in a thousand years!" raged Gantry. "Not Jn a thousond years!" Nevertheless he rose, closed his desk and prepared to accompany the Im portunate political manager. Half way along the first block he said: "There la no use In our going to the Capital office at thla time of night Blenklnsop doesn't get around to hla desk much before 11. Let's go up to tho club." At the railway club tho traffic man ager developed a keen desire to kill the lntervoulnff time In a gnme of bil liards. Blount Indulged him, beat him three guinea la succession and consistently refused to drink With hlrn. At tho end of the third gnme Gnntry gave n terso doflnltlon of a man who would force his friend to go and drink alone nnd went to the bar. Ten minutes later when Blount went •fter him he had disappeared, and the visit to the newspaper office was poat poned perforce. [TO UK CONTINUED.] Irj the Age of Bcienc«.

Agricultural Department Bulletin. That the requirements of the cotton goods industry necessitates the importation of approximately 00,000,000 pounds of Egyptian cotton, costing f16,000,000, ispro oably unknown to the majority of readers, who read of the enormous crops of cotton produced in our Southern States and learn that during the last seven months all records have been broken and practically (500,000,000 worth of that staple has been exported. But it was the considerable value of this import that induced the United States Department of Agriculture several years ago to to endeavor to develop Egyptian cotton culture in the'Unit«d States in order to supply our own home market with a home grown prod uct. Although experiments were madeatdifferent points from South Carolina to Texas, as well as in western Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and southern California, it was only in the Colorado river region that climatic and other conditions similar to those In tho Nile Valley and suited to tho long staple Egyptan cotton wore found. There 000,000 acres of excellent land are, or soon will be, under ditch in the Imperial Yuma, Salt and Gila Valleys,'and one-fifth this acreage could produce the amount of Egyptian cotton an nually imported for the use of New England mills. For several years studies and experiments with the various Egyptian varieties have been undertaken in southern Arizona, southern California and Egypt and several bulletins been issued giving detailed reports of the progress and success achieved.

' A' 1 » Hw Unix For Superintendent Public Instruction Mr. Editor: Before we celebrate another anniversary of our National In dependence, the children, teachers aiyd people of alamance County, will be committed to the care, fore sight, and wisdom of some person as County Suprintendent of Public Instruction, for the next two years, a loader who will be in strumental in preserving unto us and more perfectly developing that freedom our grizzly gray an cestors fought so valiantly to se cure aud maintain. The position to be filled by the County Board of Education, on the first Monday in July, is of greater importance and of more vital interest to the correct life of our future hope in boys and girls, than the filling of any other place in our county, and when I make this sweeping state ment, I am not unmindful of the various pastorates of our county, for this leader is commended to rise above sect, creed, doctrine and denominational strife, and serve all alike in preparing the boys and girls for the respective duties of life. Therefore, the anxious, and alert thinkers of our county are thinking daily on this sunretne question, supreme, because it is a question that lifts itself far above party affiliations and ties of special friendship, Jjence, tho men who are leading the rank and file of ihe great army of modern civilization, are thinking of the modern educator in his true re lation to the present educational movement. They think correctly when they say, that if Alamance County is to do its best for its youth and for all, it must use the best possible machinery in the hands of the practical every day teaching educator. Yes, but tho particular few ask, why are'these questions agitated so much at present, Tho answer is simple. This is a day of specilzation and concentration of forces. To il lustrate, a great scientist spent a life time studying the common house fly, and the last hour re gretted his mistake, in not study ing only one leg. It is a day when no man can be two in one, that is he can't be a successful farmer and a great captain of industry at the same time. To bo more specific the word says, that we cannot serve two masters, for wo M ill either love the one and hate the other, or cling to one and forsake the other. And I might say by way of parenthesis, that the pres ent incumbent, is a mail of ster ling qualities, of genuine worth, but like so many men, has divid ed or permitted to be divided, his forces, one force leading into fields of religion and the other branch to steal oat Into the educational gardeu. Tho teachers of our county are anxiously awaiting the decision of our County Hoard of Kducation, for the teachers know the encouragement, strength, vig or and fresh hope that the visit of the projter Huprintendent of Schools gives to teacher ami student alike. This question becomes all the more acute, when I learn that the present Incumbent does not ex pect to be a candidate for re-elec tion, because it means the selec tion of a man, whom we have not tried in this particular capacity. Therefore, it behooves every citizen of our county to cast his eyes around about him for the most desirable, and the beat qualified man, available for this position, that can be secured for the salary paid. This lewis to the conclusion that to get the kind of a man, that this place commands, it is necessary to go to one arid only source, the school of teachers. The order of creation is everything after its kind. The farmer to the farm, the merchant to the sto'e, tho lawyer to the court, the engineer to his engine, the preacher to the pulpit,' the teacher to tho school and the educator to the service of edu cation. It is a matter of history not very far iu the past, that the County Superintendent of Edu cation, was «ome antiquated law yer, obsolete doctor, relegated teacher or discarded partisan politician, that in many instances was permittee to detract from this, the highest position of leader ship in our county, but it is ex ceedingly gratifying to know that this conception of tbls calling has pasted away many years ago in our county. We have only to view the counties of Piedmont. North Carolina, to see strong, young, progressive teachers and educators in each county, serving the boys and girls and teachers as their constant friend and fel low worker. For example, in Durham County, Massey, in Guil ford Foust, and in Wake Judd, the boys all giving the maximum results. Therefore, I must say that what we need, if we need one thing more than another, is a man who has spent his entire time in the study and service of the broad field of education, a man with special training for special work, and I for one of the many bystanders see eveiy one of these qualifications and requirements for County Superintendent of Education met in an exceedingly full measure in our native born, home grown, self made Univer sity trained scholar and Christian gentleman, Prof. J. B. Robertson, who has spent five years teaching in the public schools of our coun ty, and five years Superintendent or Principal of several of the best graded and high school* in the State. This young man, is a graduate from the Literary and Pedegogical department of the University of North Carolina, and the Mangum medal in oratory, the highest honor the University offers, was unanimously awarded to Mr. Robertson on the day of his graduation. This letter is not alone my own impression, but that of a large number of the teachers of the County, who are high school and! college companions of mine as well as of Prof. Robertson. p ,Not through malice, hatred or envy, hut with the hope that these requirements will bo met for the best inter* st of all our people. Very sincerely, JNO. R. llofkman. I)r. 11. Q. Aloxuutlor, president of the State Fanners' Union, an nounces that in endorsing Con gressman vVebb's opposition to Canadian reciprocity he spoke only his individual views, that he did not in any sens* speak for the Farmers' Union because no one man or set of men can speak with authority for the Union on any question that might be con structed as partisan in character, the organization being strictly non-partisan. At the meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention, in Jackson ville, Fla., Wednesday of last week, Dr. K. C.

Vaughn, a prominent lawyer, was killed and Charles H. Johnson, a tinsmith, probably fatally injured in a pistol fight in the lawyer's office at Jacksonville, Fla., a few days ago. Johnson had called to see Vaughn regard ing a debt, it is said. Vaughn is supposed to have fired five shots after being shot through the heart while Johnson fired four. There were no witnesses to the tragedy. John Kane, a negro tailor in New York city, in desperate resis tance to arrest and to the attack of a mob which tried to seize him after he had shot and fatally wounded a white man Wednesday night, shot or stabbed two inen to death, fatally wouuded 'another man and inflicted more or less serions injuries upon six other |>en»ous, one of them an 8-year-old girl. His mad career was halted by a revolver bullet which pene trated his lung and he was taken to a hospital dying.
