I MO, MOORE TO COUNTY FARMERS Mails Letters to Secretaries and Indi vidual Members of the Association of the little cards that are furnished Interesting Interview with Mr, 0 Thomas, Head of Secre Service in this City. He Out lines Bertilion System of De- tecting Criminals. One of the most interesting and en tertaining places the News man has visited in some time is the office of Mr. If. E. Thomas, who has charge nf thp TTnited States secret service deDartment in this city. Mr. Thomas has gained a wide reputation and en viable position among secret service men and his knowledge or criminals, counterfeitors and the like is as com- niete as the best detectives m the country. Mr. Thomas's chief business is to bring counterfeitors to justice though he keeps track of every criminal in tne country and his duties take him some times to the Rockies, and, in fact, to all narts of the United States. He relates with a peculiar interest some of his experiences in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee deal ing with noted criminals and law breakers. He is familiar with every pig track in these mountains from Washington City to Atlanta, Ga., and should a criminal seek refuge in the crags and nooks of the most inaccessi ble parts of them he might as well sur render after a few days concealment for he is surely to be found sooner or later. There is no place of safety for the criminal for whom Mr. Thomas is assigned to capture. Some time it takes months and often times longer but where there is the slightest clue to work on, his keen eys and knowl edge of criminals generally runs them into their hole. Mr. Thomas finds his greatest aid in the Bertilion system of identifying criminals. Once furnished with this description it is a very easy matter for him to recognize the subject without a moments hesitation. To him the measurements and descriptions on one DEATH OF MR. W. E. HIPP. Succumbed to His Injuries Last Night Shortly After 10 O'clock, r Mr. W. E. Hipp who was struck by a Seaboard Air Line ' passenger train last Monday morning near his home. in Paw Creek township, succumbed to his injuries last night shortly after 10 o'clock. Mr. Hipp's condition was at first thought to be fatal though he rallied several times and showed wonderful vitality which was very en couraging to the members of his fami ly. The attending physicians.held consultation yesterday afternoon and were of the opinion that his condition was as favorable as could be expected under the circumstances though they were not able to ascertain, the true nature of his injuries as he remained unconscious until death. The deceased is survived by a wife who was Miss Ida McCord, and two daughters, Misses Pearle and Nannie Hipp. The funeral services took place from the home this afternoon at 4 o clock the services being attended by a large number of friends of the deceased both from the city and' county. The funeral exercises were conduct ed bv Rev. Mr. Bradley, pastor or the Trinity Methodist church and Rev. Mr, Harrison, pastor of the Paw creek church. The interment was in the trinity church burying grounds. In the death of Mr. Hipp, Paw Creek loses one of her most influential citizens. He was highly esteemed by his neighbors and well thought of throughout the county. Sale of Mecklenburg Land. Mr. C. O. Gillon, of Concord, has recently purchased from a Charlotte firm 200 acres of land in the corner of Iredell, Cabarrus and Mecklenburg counties. The price paid was $3,000. Mr. J. H.

I shall want the report to take with me to tbis, meet ing, and I am anxious to have fa cor rect report from every county in the State. The speculators insist that we have an unusually large crop to sell this season; their report is given by "car v. indow" and automobile" who do not know why a cotton bloom is pink or viite.

"Wishing you much success with ycur work for the Association, I am, Yours very truly, C. C. MOORE, President, N. C. Div., S. C. A. In addition to these letters which ara being mailed to the Secretaries ol thg association in the various coun ties, Mr. Moore is also mailing a let ter to the individual members of the association urging their co-operation in the effort to gather as much useful and valuable information as is possi ble in order that he may have an ac curate report to make at the meeting of the executive committee in Hot Springs. Mr. Moore is exerting his usual amount of energy in accomplishing the colossal task which lies before him as president of one State divi sion of this important association. If the individual members will give him their undivided support and liberal co-operation, North Carolina will make an excellent showing through her rep resentative at the meeting of the Na tional Committee. MISS KIRKPATRICK ELECTED. This system of identifying criminals is being introduced in North Carolina and it is thought that the State au thorities will adopt it at no distant date. It was recently adopted by the State of Virginia and from accounts is giving perfect satisfaction. It is the means of running down and bring ing to justice many hundred and noted criminals who have successfully elud ed the best detectives. It matters not whether a criminal will submit to having his photograph made provided a measurement of him is se cured. As has been said this is better than a photograph to the detective who is familiar with the system and is a certain and sure means of identifica tion. Mr. Thomas went in detail, explain ing the method of the system; how the measurements are taken and every thing pertaining to it, all of which was very interesting to the reporter. First the heighth of the criminal is taken and this is secured to a .very small fraction of an inch. His head is measured from the roof of the nose to the highest part of the crown; from temple to temple; exact dimensions of tne ears are secured; arms, fing ers and feet; the locations of scars and the various kinds of wrinkles which seldom ever escape observation. When the secret service man is furn ished with kind of wrinkles , a man possesses it is an easy matter for him to tell whether or not he is tue man wanted. Charlotte Operators Sent. Several expert operators from this city were sent to Asheville a few days ago to assist in the work of getting the handsome new Bell Telephone ex change in good working shape.

Just 27 miles from the classic cit Athens, Ga., is located the thriving little town of Maxey's, the residence Mr. Robert Ward, who has just been realesed from the most perilous predictment, the particulars of which he has consented to-give to the public. He writes as follows: MAXEY'S, OGLETHORPE COUNTY, GA., July 1. For twelve or fourteen years I have been a great sufferer with a terrible . form or Blood Poison (Syphilis,) which ran into the secondary, and finally it was pronounced a tertiary form. My head, face and shoulders became almost a solid mass of corruption, and finally the disease commenced eating away my skull bones. I became so horribly repulsive that, for .3 years ,1 absolutely refused to let people see me. I used large quantities of the most noted blood remedies, and applied to nearly all physicians near me, but iny condition con tinued to grow worse, and all said I must surely die. My bones became the seat of excruiciating aches and pains; my nights were passed in misery; I 'was reduced in flesh and strength; my kidneys were terribly deranged and life R. Signs became a burden to me. J. I chanced to see am advertisementof B. B. B., and I sent one dollar to W. C. Birchmore & Co., merchants of our place, and they procured one bottle for me. It was used with decided benefit. I continued its use and when eight or ten bottles had been used was pronounced sound and well. Hundreds of scars, can now be seen on me, looking like a man who had been burned and then restored. My case is well known in this county, and for the benefit of others who may be similarly effected, I think it my duty to give facts to the public, and to extend my heartfelt thanks for so valuable a remedy.. I have been well over twelve months, and no return of the disease has occurred. ROBERT WARD. MAXEY'S, GA., July 1. We, the undersigned, know Mr. Robert Ward, and take pleasure in stat ing that the facts as above stated by him are true, and that his was one of the worst cases of Blood Poison we ever knew in our county, and that he hav been cured by the use of B.

Senator Dick Among, Those Smith is Said to Have Provided With Loans Columbus, O., Aug. 21. In Summit County .Fred E. Smith has resigned as County Treasurer, acknowledging that he is short $212,000, and it is conceded that he cannot be convicted in that county. Whether the state will ask for a change of venue is uncertain. Smith evidently expects that he will not be punished. ' ed to business men and politicians freely, on personal securtiy for a long time. In this way Smith has made himself a good 'fellow to nearly everybody in the county, and many persons of standing .and influence are under obligations to him. It is because of this that he feels, confident criminal j prosecution will be . stopped. It is reported that. Senator Dick is among those favored with loans by Treasurer Smith, but Smith says he never loaned county, funds direct to the Senator. He admJtsTibwever, that he did loan $29,000 to Li C. Miles, a busi ness associate of Dick's, and a member of the Republican State Central Com mittee, representing Mr. Fitzgerald, of Winston-Salem, Gets $5,000. Special The News. Greensboro, Aug. 22. Superior Court Clerk Nelson - yesterday '-re ceived a check from the Southern Railway Company for $5,837.50 in payment of a judgment, interests and costs in a damage suit brought by Mr. O. J. Fitzgerald, of Winston- Salem, for injuries in the yards at Winston two years ago. Fitzgerald, was . what is known as the engine hostler on the yards, and while at tending to an engine a heavy block cf coal, being thrown from one car to another fell on his head and seri ously damaged him. He secured judgment for $5,000. In keeping with its policy, the railway appealed, and the judgment was affirmed by the Supreme Court. Instead of paying the $5,000 the company had to pay nearly a thou sand dollars more in the shape of interest and extra costs, ut it never seems to mind piling up expense when baffling a suitor and delaying the termination of a suit or the final payment. This loan was about the only one that has been promptly paid back. The investigation that brought out these disclosures was begun on July 3rd and on July 5th the Miles loan was returned to the Treasury. When the Savings Bank, of which Senator Dick was director, failed two years ago, the Senator was found to be a large borrower.. The bank had notes of his endorsed by Miles and notes of Miles endorsed by Dick. There were also notes in the bank signed by the two jointly. They aggregated about $40,000. A liquidat ing committee was remarkably suc cessful in adjusting the losses of this concern, aggregating $300,00 and it is believed that much of the loss was thrown upon the county treasurer.
