Is the conscience and Intelligence aroused to combat the saloon which has not an argument and which If it subsists It must be upon the destruction of mankind. He said that the meaning of this moral wave meant the growth of the Kingdom of God In the 'hearts of men No man said he. has a right to vote .to keep Hquor in .Xorth Carolina who is not .willing to' furnish a ' son to Its destroying- powers, and declared his slogan to be viove for the saloon keeper, but death to the aaloon." .

' i , ! c i JACOB STEWART. Mocksville, X. C. Feb. 26. THE DASH FOR THE JAII One of the Most Exciting Drives in ( tlie History of Fayctterllle. i The Fayetteville Observer gives this graphic and exciting- story of the pur suit and capture of the negro Murchi sojvwho shot and killed Chief of Po lice Benton Sunday afternoon, and of the dash for a place of safety made by those who heroically protected him from j the momentary anger of the great crowd: ; '. !:-.-. When the chief came staggering back to the house, his sixteen-year-old son. Master Carlos.' armed himself with his father's revolver and started off after the negro. He sighted him In the cemetery and emptied his revol ver at him. one ball taking effect In the man's thigh. The negro returned the, lire, but without c let and, strange to say, crossed tfce street, and entered a house, in which Mr. Jac quelln Crosswell hadV taken refuge. The, latter here grappled with the man, who snapped the pistol In his face, but luckily It failed to explode. After a plucky effort on the part of Mr; tCrosswell, the negro broke away, made off, going down Barge's Lane to Grove street between the two cem eteries, towards the old roller mills. By this time thousands of people, armed with all sorts of weapons, were, scouring; the country for the ne gro, and he was sighted about, three o'clock by Mr. Haword Smith, who was on horseback. He called the at tention of a party of men nearby to him and at the command to hold up his hands, by Mr. L. A. William son, the . negro promptly threw them up. . When this , party,,, consisting j of Mr. Williamson. George McNeill, aJ 8. Wlghtman; Al S.. Hall, and a colored hian, also named Sam ' Murchison, but ;no relative ' of ; the murderer, sur rounded the man in a field about a quarter of a mile from the roller mill. he begged them not to kill him, saying that he was already shot to pieces. When . found he bad pulled off his sweater "and a top shirt he wor'e and was in the act of taking off his trou sers, evidently for the purpose of dry ing them," as he had swam across the creek, was soaking wet and sold j as Ice. when asked Why he had done this fearful deed he said he did not know. He was asked if he had been drinking, and he-said he had, that he had purchased a quart of corn whiskey, upon his arrival In Fayette ville f romIted Springs. When found he Tiad sobered up enough to realize the enormity of his crime, if indeed he had not realized It "before, v By this time quite a crowd of seaChers had come up, and but for the determina tion of the little party who first caugtit the , fiend, he would have been - made short shlrgt of. Mr. George McXeill mounted Mr. Howard 1 Smith's horse and - hurried to town to notify the sheriff. In a short while the sheriff arrived in the scene driven by Mr. Sam Colerider in the latter' s buggy. The ; man was bundled into the buggy and 'jthen began one of the; most' ex citing drives in the history of this city. Surrounded by a score of people, cry ing but for vengeance, the vehicle dashed up Maultsby street and turned into Person. Faster and faster, Mr. Colerider urged his spirited horse, but as the buggy sped up the street, whirl ed around City Hall Square and made for the final stretch down Gillespie street to . the Jail, the thousand or more, people who had gathered on this street In advance of the-approach of 'the officers : with their ' prisoner, made a dash for the little party, and then; one of the wheels gave , way, and tit seemed all was up with the ne gro. But no, lashing his horse furi ously, with' but three wheels under him,; on sped the plucky driver, part . Jng- the ' struggling, vengeance-bent crowd, right and left, and with one mighty effort the jail gate was reach ed and sheriff and prisoner tumbled out of the buggy, into the jail court yard, the gate was! shut and there stood Deputy Pate, pistol in hand, shouting to the crowd to stand back at its peril. At this juncture the F. I. L. L company arrived on the scene, and from that time, and all during the night, the soldiers, under command of Major Vann and Captain McGeachey, were on duty at the jail and, vicinity. ,) DR.

After a week's struggle with la grippe she 'was at tacked with pneumonia, which In a very few days accomplished its deadly work; ,' She came to the end peacefully ana retained perfect consciousness until a very few hours of the last She was a faithful wife and a patient and in dustrious mother. a woman of ex traordinary courage and devotion to duty, her disposition was cheerful and her friends numerous.

SHIPMAN FOR LABOR cmis- SIONCIt To the Editor: The public service Is the highest service. Into the se lecting of a public officer the citizen should put his best self, his best mo tives and best thought. And politi cal parties must do this or learn by defeat the lesson that the people, though patient and apparently indif ferent will not be trifled with. Po litical parties are wrecked mainly by1 man mta It a eMn -u riu iiuy iiicui r9 tuiii) Silvia Wliy choose themselves for office, thrust themselves , upon their parties, being able , at popular agitation and weak in character and efficiency. At the present hour the Democratic party in North Carolina must be more than ever jealous of those who would rise to service and power in Its. name. The old slogans have lost their appeal; tne oia smooieth has lost Its power, Politics for" party's sake is a dying pftllcy wherever men are learning to think. And It is not to be rearrrtted that ministers, newsoaners and schools are adding. thousands of thinking men to the ranks of our voters at every election. Least of all needs the Demo cratic party to regret this. It stands JSpt Intelligence; it must live by intel ligence. -. ' . These remarks are as much -to the purpose with . regard to other- offices aa they are to that ot Commissioner of Labor and Printing. But I have written them with f a view to saying a word or, two In behalf of the can didacy of Mr. M. L. Shlpman for that position. He. has all the qualifica tions for the position. :. He is now practically ' doing- the work of the office Commissioner Varner having been for months seri ously incapacitated by an injury to his eye and other causes. And he is doing the work admirably. He 'is thorough, painstaking and intelligent having an unusual comprehension of' his task. He is, moreover, a man of hlRh character standing well among his fellows; such a man as a State does well to stand before her people in high places. These are the commanding qualifications. But seeing that Mr. Shlpman has the others in rsuch rare degree it will not be miss for me to mention, them briefly. There is the qualification of parts service and, while of late It is be coming popular not to undertake by public outcry to foreclose political mortgages, party service is a qualifi cation for party advancement never to be despised. The ox that plows? the corn . deserves the fodder. Mr. Shlpman has done' some heavy plow ing in his time. He is a newspaper man editor of a Democratic news paper. Is that not f nough said ? The campaigners appear thirty times in two years. But the Democratic editor bears the burden of the day, in winter's cold and summer's heat. He keep glowing the fires of Democracy while the stump-speaker practices law or takes to preaching. No one will ever sufficiently tell the story of the labors of the editors of Democratic papers in North Carolina. No one will ever measure the value of their services to the party and the State. And among them all none has been more faithful or more efficient than 15 "It. Shlpman. He has kept the faith through good and evil report and in a section where it 1 not all one way, either. He has held our citadel beyond the Blue nidge. And, moreover, not content with ser vices as editor, as district chairman, as State committeeman and as coun ty worker, he is one man that has never failed to be at his post and do his full day's work. ! Personally clever, a man of the peo ple, a hard worker, of good under standing' arid - high purposes; experi enced In the task, in sympathy alike with employe and employer; a work ing Democrat 1 say that he has all ivjUudUUUid of the suffering and danger in store for her, robs the expectant mother of all pleasant anticipations of the coming event, and caits over her a shadow of gloom which cannot be shaker! off. Thousands of women have found that the use of Mother Friend during pregnancy robs confinement of all jjain and danger, and insures safety to lite of mother and child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all Women at the time of their most critical trial; Not only . does Mother' Friend carry women safely through the. perils, or child-birth, fbut its use gently prepares the system Tor the. coming event, prevents ' morning sickness, 'V and other dis I . . containing yaluable information CARJEKSL.
