It so hap pened thit a certain mad prin terman. forever nameless in these columns, was on tbe same train, journeying down toward the wilds of Bcrlmgton. Our unfor tunate fellow-citisen was in a wondr us merry mood consider ing the fact that he faced fifteen years of labor for the gocd of his state, a sentence, by the way, that almost broke the .judge's heirt t) impose, because that was all the law would allow. The ex white slaver talked incessantly to his attentive escort, and the prin ter heard and meditated in si lence. 'In five years I'll write you irom spam," connaea tne con vict to tbe officer.

Jirvery day there is some sure proof of the truth of the Word. The temptation, even to good men to doubt whether the Scrip tures apply to the deedi of men of this generation is very great, and to men of loose morals and immoral lives there seems to be ever a belief that the Ten Com mandments and the Word of God bare "played out" or there is manifested suoh indifference of consequences as in their case amounts to unbelief. Men are every day devouring widows' homes, treating their neighbors unfairly, violating every one of the Ten Commandments and lead ing wanton dissolute lives, with never a tnougnt mat there is a judgment to come, and that, for overy crime committed whether seen by the eyes of men or not, a penalty must be exacted. A long time ago William Wirt declared "murder will out," and he pic tured how one way or another the man who had stained his hands with the blcod of his brother, even if there were no witnesses to the crime and no evidence against him, proof of the crime would come to light and he would have t) bear the punishment fr the violation of God's .law "Thou shalt not kill." Not in many years has there been so striking and emphatic a proof of the truth, "Be sure your in will find you out," as in the career of Henry Beattie, who was electrocuted in Richmond yester day tor the murder of his young j wife. The son of an honest and useful citizen, reared in a pious home, he became in his youth dissolute and immoral. He thought because he had money. and, because for a time, his sins did not bar him from good society or forfeit him his father' love, or bring punishment upon him. that he could continue in his wanton ways, but before be died he wrote a letter to one of nit former com panions in vice that he had lived to see the truth of the Scriptures, "The wages of sin is death." His life should be a lesson to all yound men who are lacking in moral stamina and purity of life. A day of reckoning surely comes to all men, and while Beattie's punishment was greater beoause of the culmination of his sin than comes to the average immoral man no man can violate the commandments of God without in one way or another,, being foroed to pay the penalty. "Be sure your sin will find you out," is always true as is the other truth, "The wages of sin is death." Raleigh News and Observer. Potatoes Beat Cotton. W. D. Barfield, of Ten Mile, was in town Friday and brought to the Robesoman office three "Norton yam" potatoes that weigh about 8 pounds eaob, and b9 says that he has plenty more at home like 'em. He says that he thinks, generally speaking, a good crop of potatoes has been made in th Ten Mile section . He made 140 bushels on one acre and says that N. A. Townsena, also of1 Ten Mile, made over 00 bushels on an acre. It has not been many days since Fuller Locklear, Indian, who lives on route 2 from Lumberton, brought to town a "yam" potatoe that weighed 8 pounds. So potatoes, this year, must be growing large and plentiful, for a money crop it looks like potatoes would beat cotton this year, for potatoes are now selling for 50 cents per bush el aLd those marketed early brought $1, easy.

White in his sermon at the Second Baptist church Sun day night. "I do not know whether he was saved or not. for I do not know what transpired in the Becret chamber of his soul. Bat with my bible before me, I do know that there was an arm long enough to have reached out and drawn him into heaven at the last moment. "I know that aooording to our ideas of human justice he should suffer hell. But merov. not ins- mm -f tice rules heaven." Dr. White dearly made the dis tinction that Beattie oould have confessed the truth to the crime to the world without finding God, "But he could not have reaohed God without confessing the truth to mankind," he said. "But even if he gained salva tion he lost his life. Salvation oan not lift the stain from his memory or the sorrow from his aged father's heart." In oocolusion, Dr. White said that he did not believe Beattie would suffer eternal fires in hell, if he were lost, but that his soul would move on through the infinite in an eternal pursuit of sin. & He began his sermon by reading the story of the crucifixion, im pressing the attitude of the thief who repented at the last moment. Saved His Wife's Life. "My wife would have been her grave to-day,'1 writes 0. in H. Brown, of Muscadine, Ala., "if it had not been for Dr. King's New Discovery.

The following is given to the world as the last message of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr. : "Try to think a little kindly of me. I am goiug to die to-morrow morning. This is the last day I shall pass on this earth and I am glad the torment is so near ly over. "It would mean a lot to me if I could only know that even a few people do not hate and de spise me ; that they even feel a little pity for me as I am going to die. "I never was much of a talker, but I want to try to say some thing for any sympathizers I may have, if it is nothing more than good-bye. "You can understand that at a time like this I am not able to think of muoh beside what I am faciDg, so make allowances if I talk sort of rambling . "Bat do not think I'm afraid to die. I am not. It is awful, of course, but here I am, con demned tojdie, and I feel that it will be a positive relief. I appre ciate the well-meauine efforts that have been made to seoure olemenoy from the governor, but I oan honestly say today that I am glad now that he refused to do anything for me in the way of postponing what is to happen to morrow. It has been hard to stand, but I think I can keep on j for the remaining few hours . "And I have made my peace and am not worrying about the hereafter, for, thanks to the ef forts of my two friends the min isters who have come to see me. I have come to look at matters differently, and the Bible has brought comfort aud assurance that it will be well with me. "I realise that I have led a bad life and that I have beec careless. If I had cared less for being a sport I would not have been here today. But regret can not chaage things. I oan only say that I am sorry. I am not posing as a saint, but I can honestly say this also : haye no bitter feeling towaid anv one in the world. "One of my greatest sorrows now is the knowledge of the last ing suffering I have brought upon my dear father; my father who always loved me so much . I love him and always did, bat I took a poor way of showing it." Work of the Healers in Catawba. Two reputable farmers relate three instances of the work of the sc-caUed "healers" in this county during the paBt few months. They stated that one Iroman, who was in a delioate oondition, was convalescing from typhoid fever, when the "healer" gathered and after going through their ceremoneis, told her to arise and walk, that she was healed. She declared herself unable to do so, but was persuaded to get up, and' she walked across the room, but on starting baok to the bed fell in a faint with the result that would naturallv follow in such a case. She ultimately reoovered, however, under the care of the physicians. Another woman suffering with typhoid, was per anaded to eo to a meeting of the u "healers," where she was healed and in the excitement deolared herself healed. The next day she had a relapse and died of hemor rhage. The third instance was where a dead woman was raised from the dead "on the third day," and preparations for the event wore made, but the "neaier" re ceived an urgent message from a siok relative and had to forego the resurrection exercises. These facts are vouohed for ly the men who told them. If indeed such thinffa are true, it is marvelous 0 - - that our people can so far take laave ot their senses as to partici pate in - Buoh stuff .Catawba County News BRYAN AGAINST CLARK. Col. Bryan Is Dissatisfied Willi the Way Speaker Cla k Is Running Things. William Jennings Bryon has now turned against Champ Olark, one of his own moBt trustworthy and blind followers through all the years of his primacy in the Democratic party. He does not use tne way unamp is running the business of the Demooratio House at Washington, thinks Champ is hot enough like old Joe Cannon, and that his usefulness is impaired by his efforts "to pre serveharmony among the demo 3rats in the House." The Speak er's lack of progressive leadership is bad enough but his disposition to preserve harmony is "mostdan- gerous." His failure in the first respect "tends to make him a neg stive quantity, but the second may convert him into a positive force for harm." The great Ns braekan reasons in his Commoner in this way about Speaker Clark : "If he conceives his highest duty to be to preserve harmony he will exert his influence to prevent the consideration of any measure up on wnian uemoorats are aividee the trust puestion, for instance," Wherefore, Mr. Bryan exclaims and inquires: "The people need a champion sn the House; to whom will the honor go?" Mr. Byran is distinctly unfair to Speaker Clark and to the Dem- oaratic members of Uongreas as well. During the late extraordi nary sessions the Speaker admin istered his office with great wis dom and with sincere purpose to discharge all the duties devolving upon him, and did it so well as to surprise many of those who did not have muoh faith, before his election as Speaker, iu his leader- hip. There was not a time dur ing the deliberations of the House when he when failed in any re spect to meet his responsibilites and to encourage the members of his party to redeem their , pledges to the people ; and working with him on the floor of the House was Underwood who displayed re markable ability as a militant leader of the party. In these two faithful and able men the people have as their leaders both Moses and Aaron, and they are honored in such servants . Clark and Underwood desire with all their hearts doubtless that a sorely divided party shall be brought together again, and surely we have been divided long enough to make a holiday for the glory of one man, and he would be a sorry Democrat and a sorrier oit'zen who would resist the a- doption of policies that ould re establish harmony in the party. The Democrats have more than a hundred champions in tb.6 House, a well-organized aud loyal major ity which has more than once giv en fair notice to Mr. Byran and all other marplots that they are quite able to discharge their du ties without tne leadership which has kept the party in the ditch for fif teen long and weary and hope less years.

Beattla Told Details. Riohmond, Va., Deo. 1. Special. The News-Leader here to-day prints the outline of what is said to have been a detailed and private confession left by Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., for the perusal of his family alone. Aooording to this alleged con fession Beattie decided two weeks before the crime was osmmitted to kill his wife. The details of the murder ooinoide almost pre cisely with the theory of the: case set out by the State at the trial. Beattie induced his cousin Paul to buy the gun and hide it behind a stump on the Midlothian turn pike. He is said to have stated that he shot his wife full in the face as she was stepping from the au tomobile and that she fell back ward into the road. Beattie de nied that he first knocked her down, a story whioh gave him "muoh annoyance, implying cowardice." Beattie is also said to have denied that he sat upon his wife's body during the wild drive to Riohmond. He is said to have asserted that his marriage was comparatively loveless and was foroed upon him by his father's earnest wishes. Bads Winter' Troubles. To many, winter is a season of trouble.
