From early womanhood to the day of her death, it was her cherish and avowed purpose to do the will of her savior, though her lips are sealed in death. She still speaks to us in the abidiug of her life. She will be greatly missed in our town where she was universally esteeme as ffiend and mother.

It means that the people run the Baltimore Convention— nominated and elected Wilson. It means that the Interest no minated and defeated Taft at the Chicago Convention. That Enigama of Politics Theodore Roosevelt saw at a glance the entire movement and | loudly did he call for the people. Splendid did they respond with 3,9^,140 votes. This means that the people are in politics, got what they want ed, and can get what they want. It does not mean that the Demo crats have been commissioned to run the government with a High Hand. Note that the votes of Taft and Roosevelt added only leave the South to Democrats. I am more interested in holding w'hat the people gained on Nov. 5th, 1912, than I am in being POST MASTER.

Morganton, N. C.* Jan. 19.— Dr. Hennessee, who was shot four times aud cut several times in the fight sfet Glen Alpine late yesterday afternpon, and after all hopes as to his living through the night, ralied early this morn ing and was taken to Dr. Long's at Statesville, where "an attempt will be made to remove the bul lets. Several gashes aie cut in his abdomen and piercing his lung, and his face and scalp are badly lacerated from being beat with a rock. Late reports this evening say that his conifition continues grave and recovery ia exceedingly doubtful. Latest reports from Grace hospital as to the condition of Gorman Pitts, who v/as shot and cut several, state that his wounds are more dangerous than first reported. Ervin Pitts, a brother to Gormon, who was stabbed several times in the back awd shot once by Dr. Hennessee, is also in a very grave cohjlition. Attendin;g physicians say that blood poisoh is expect ed at any i^pment, and if so there is no hope at ail. Abe Pitts, who was cut in several places, and Policeman Bennett* who was shot in the side with a load of buckshot, have splendid chances for recovery. It seems that the parties had a falling out years ago and a few days ago renewed it, and yester day when they met had some words and threats followed. Dr. Hennesse v/ent and returned with three pistols and a surgeon’s knife. After stabbiing Erviri several timas in the back he open ed fire on Gormon, who quickly fired back a round of five shots, four taking effect in Hennessee’s body and the fifth glazed his shoulder. The fight then con tinued for fully fifteen minutes with knives and rocks, and as a result several that stopped the fight are badly cut. Much excitmient prevailed on the streets last night and early this morning and in the vicinity where it happened, as they look for a new outbreak among their relatives. The C«atesl NAME - NO.

The exhibit will show the methods by which these socities conduct their affairs, and especial (emphasis will be laid on the cooperative grain elevator organizations. A model grain elevator will be demonserated in actual operation, and the exhibit will be supplemented by a series of lectures giving full knowledge of the various phases of these cooperative societies. The developement of these farmer’s cooperative societies in Iowa has proceeded to a greater extent, probably, than in any other State in the Union, and it is especially fitting that such an exhibit should come from this State, , The exhibit has been pre pared under the direction of the Stenographers , and Typewriters Examination An examination for stenogra- iivedlni* typewriters will be held by the civil service commiss ion at Greensboro and Raleigh on February 15 th 1913.
