Thousands of 'iJ -a - - j Gallons of Oil Lost. Fine Road to Charlotte. Other News. Sv.ocial to The News. Matthews, Feb. 17. Quite a number 01 our people are visiting the scene of the big freight wreck that occurred two miles from Matthews on S. A.L. rail ioad a few days ago. The work- of clearing away the wreck has been pushed rapidly but it will be several days yet before the crew of hands will ;e ready to leave. A large oil tank, said to contain 25,000 gallons of refined cotton seed oil. was thrown frcjm the track into McAlpine's creek and thous ands of gallons of the oil floated off down the creek and could be seenfor miles refusing to mix with the. water. Every available barrel in Matthews ay as hurriedly taken to the scene of the wreck and more than twenty-five bar rels were filled from the wasting tank. Onr town is now within easy reach of Charlotte, having the entire distance covered with the newest and . . best macadam in the county. The , new Iridiie spanning McAlpine's creek' -is perhaps the finest bridge in the county. Mr. J. C. Griffin, who owns and op orates our telephone central office, has been busy for the past ten days re pairing the damage' done by the re-: cent ice storm on the lines connecting Matthews with Monroe. County Superintendent R. J. Cochran was in our town yesterday visiting the schools of, the community.' He goes to day to Cochran Academy, where he always meets with avhearty reception. The musicians of the town have or ganized a string band with the follow ing members: Misses Lois and Lula Williams. Mrs. B. D. Funderburk, Messrs. T. J. Orr. A. J. Williams, L. C. Faulkner, D. P. Faulkner, Oscar and Will Hood. They have a variety of in struments and make some very fine music. n Sustaining Food That's what bread is when made in the right way of the right kind of flour.

SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. In a speech in a Georgia town. Hon. Clark Howell, candidate for Governor, said: i believe any county should have the right to vote as to whether it wants liquor or not. But while I favor our present local option system, I believe the State should throw the strong arm cf its protections around those counties that do not want liquor, and see to it that it is not forced upon them by r blind tigers, express ship ments or . otherwise." That is sound doctrine. News and Observer. premature start often indicates a premature finish. HERE AT HOME.

When people right here at home raise their voice , :in its praise, there is no room left for doubt. Read the public state mennt of a Charlote citizen: j. C. Presby, barber,-at 24 N.

Jordan & Co., have been used in our family with uniformly ben eficial results. My wife has been trou bled with her kidneys and back for a long time. Almost the first dose of the, pills brought relief and in every case when we found it necessary to use them they have given satisfactory results, so much so in fact, that I am glad to, publicly endorse their merits."

Interesting Special From Qatawba's . ,y . Metropolis. Special' to The News. ..J j Hickory, Feb. 17. The decision ren 'dered last evening at Superior Court in 'Newtonin the case of City of Hickory vs. Southern Railway, is the sole Sub ject of conversation here, from the newspaper offices to the dressmakers rooms. . Some claim an entire victory ' for the city; others, whose appetite "grows with what it feeds upon," say that the one hundred foot right of way, ""'hich indcluded the streets parallel with the railroad, is too much for the Southern to have. Of one thing there is no question the jubilation over the decision which pronounced the freight dePot a nuisance, and the crossing at Marsha11 street dangerous to life and ne has eIer. 2-' ""ZZrZ uuiiuuo 1. - utii. a. 11 cwiiw n ai over the freight an obstruction in its that itsj sftrvioe has not been sood (simply from the fact that its employees, try as they would could not control the volume -of work forced upon them; that its accommo dation is utterly inadequate all these things are freely admitted, even by the attorneys of the railroads them selves. But the next question that arises is."What are you going to do as to the location of another?" ,We have yet to hear any one offer an an swer to this question that suited every body. If placed towards the West, the East Hickory people will say they have not been considered. If located in the east end, those whose interests lie to the West, will grumble as to the Incon venience to which they will be subject ed. While, in any case, the business people will never have a location that is more adapteG to their needs than the centre of town, where the depot certainly is at present. Talking the 1 matter Over yesterday, with one of our most substantial citizens, a man who came here when the town was scarcely more than a hamlet he said, some hours before the decision was given, that that verdict was the smallest part of the contest. That, he said, would begin, for the citizens here, when the question of removing the depot comes up. Tho say that he onticipates a lively "scrap" is to say little. Much is expected tonight from the lecture of Mr. Preston W. Search, "Face to face with Great Ideals."

PRESIDENT MOORE - SUBMITS HIS CASE SAYS HE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS ELECTION AS STATE PRESIDENT COTTON GROWERS' ASSOCIATION TRIED TO DE CLINE IT SUBMITS THE CASE TO THE PEOPLE. Editor The News.;: Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 17'. For the benefit of my good ; f riend, Charlie T. Gibson, and others" in Mecklenburg county, I will say that I am personally in no way responsible f or my name be ing mentioned in connection with the office of Clerk of the Superior Court, of Mecklenburg county,-' nor' as organizer cf townships into the Cotton Associa tion, or as president-of Mecklenburg Cotton Association; or as president of the State division of the Southern Cotton Association. I was surpised last July when num erous friends, came to me and told me there was a strong sentiment over the county favorable to electing me to tlrb office of Clerk, these friends did not say they would elect me to a county efflee, they mentioned the place of Clerk of the Court. I answered that I had never thought of going before the voters of my coun ty for any office and did not care to do so now. " I was urged by these and by men of all classes to say .that I would offer for the place. Acting under the advice of men of reputation, men .of good judgment, honorable men of business, mechanics, farmers, editors and many good wo men I announced about August 1st, I would be a candidate for this place. Now, this was no secret at all. The farmers of the county at their meeting of the Cotton Association, October 1st, knew that my name was before the voters, but at this meeting of two hun dred farmers I was elected organizer and instructor to canvass Mecklenburg county in the interest of the Cotton Association. I keenly felt my unfitness for this task and expressed my feelings at this meeting. In a very forceable manner my farm er friends informed me that I must go as organizer. I went, put my heart in the wbrk. The country people saw I was in earnest, that I was working for their interest, that I had no selfish motive and although I visited nearly every school district in the county I did not tell any man I wanted his vote, nor ask his help or influence. Having discharged my duty as I saw it, as organizer, I ; thought I was my own man again and, could attend to my personal affairs, s-u ' j "Not so," say my farmer friends; "we have other work for you.' This at thevEtecember meeting when County Association. , - Again I protested and pleaded with them not to make a mistake in this, begged them to elect a competent, ca pable man. No use; they elected me, and I did my best-for the good of the association; ?. f January 3 the hoteMobby was crowd ed with delegates to-the State Associa tion meeting. Mr. W. A. Grier told me I was prominently mentioned as the choice of the delegates for president of the North Carolina division he will tell you that I told him I was totally unfit, incompetent and unworthy 01 such an honor. - I told Mr. Grier I would avoid meet ing delegates '- byfv' absenting myself from the hotel lobby. I spent the whole day at the Ar& M. College at work on a plan for the farm ers' annual State convention; did not speak to a delegate from any county until after my name was presented by the Mecklenburg delegation; then it was that I pleaded my unfitness for I such a responsible and important posi tion as State president of the Cotton Association. Mecklenburg withdrew my name at my request ; quickly other counties took it up and without a dissenting voice I was made president. j There is C C. Moore from- July 1st, 1905, till January 3rd, 1906. Since then I have devoted my time and ability (poor as it is) to the work or organizing the cotton counties into the Cotton Association we are doing it, too, and will keep at it day and night until every county is enrolled on our State roll. " My family, my business, my , oppor tunity to electioneer for a county of fice all given up, I am engaged in the grandest work in the South; my whole heart is in it. I am encouraged to push on by everybody, every class; by the newspapers, religious papers, agricul tural papers, and by the financial aid of business men who see that this I work must be done. 1 The jury, composed of the voters of my home city and county, may take the case. I, the witness, will be ab sent for three or four months. I can not personally influence you for or against me. With love for every man, woman and child in Mecklenburg county, I am, Yours to command, C. C. MOORE. JUST FOR FUN. "Every man should have a motto, declared the New York magnate. "And yours is?" i .

Excusable. Greensboro (N. .C.) Record. ' V ! , - A man who will curse over the tele phone is exceedingly short - on man ners.. He is a misfit '"and worse from a moral standpoint. The. public would be surprised at the number who do this. It is bad enougn to swear over the telephone when talking to another man, but when one . pitches in and curses the operator at the central of fice here shouli be some law to fit the case. He might rig up, some kind of an excuse when talking, for in stance, in a jocular vein to a friend, but when he gets mad because he can not get the proper connection, even when it is. known it is not the fault of the operator, and goes to cursing her it is about time he was taken out and shot. To show how unreasonable a man can be, we recall an . instance that happened one Sunday some time ago. -A man called np a certain resi dence; central rang the telephone and no one answered. The man yelled at her to ring again and still no one answer ed ; then he cursed her and not satis fied with this, called up the chief ope rator and cursed her for failure to get the number he wanted. .Next day it was ascertained that the residents of the house he wanted were not at home during the entire day. Right here is where he needed killing. ' We can prove it by everyone of the ladies at the central office. ; WHAT IS BROMONIA ? Read the following carefully:' If you have consumption or some of tte contagious forms of blood poisoning we cannot cure you. v We donl pre tend to cure you. You need the indi vidual treatment of some skilled spe cialist; but if you are run down in gen eral health, if you have dyspepsia,, are subject to fainting spells, a victim to insomnia, biliousness, kidney or liver trouble, catch cold easily, if your sys tem is in that condition that you may become an easy prey to. the disease germs of pneumonia, la grippe and the various epidemics, if you are bothered with constant headache, loss of mem ory, generally impaired vitality, we can help you, and, if you follow our di rections, , render you immune against sickness. Most skin disease can be cured by the use of "Bromonia." "Bromon'a" is to the human sys tem what the scrubbing brush and soap are to the dirty washbowl. It aids Nature to resume normal action. It increases the strength, the fighting ability of the phagocytes of the blood; it promotes the healthy flow of the salivary and gastric secretions. If your stomach is in good condition, you are well. The Chinese are a wise peo ple. They accost each other with, "How is your stomach?" R. H.
