Lightning Strikes
House Second lime
Mr. Henry Hacknew, who lives on
Seventh street extension, no longer be
lieves in the old saying that lightning
does not strike the second time in tne
same place. Ten days ago lightning
struck a chimney on his house tearing
off bricks and a yard or so of roofing.
During the storm yesterday after
noon lightning again struck the chim
ney. practically in the same place as
before.
The second stroke was more de
structive. A large part of the roof was
torn oft, and the family somewhat
stunned.
Much Gubernatorial
Timhei tn Georgia
By Associated Press.
Atlanta, Ga.. July 13.—The business
of electing a United States Senator
out of the way members of the legis
lature and attaches of the capitol
have turned to the next gubernatorial
election as food for gossip. The fact
that Governor Smith will not. accord
ing to his own statement resign until
winter thus placing the election some
time off. does not seem to dull the
interest.
The announcement of J. Pope
Brown, of H^wkinsville, former state
treasurer, that he would be a candi
date, was the subject of the most
talk today. He was mentioned some
time ago but did not make formal an
nouncement until last night.
Attorney General Thomas B. Fel
der also has been “mentioned.” It
is expected that half a dozen other
names will be connected with the
next state election. Ex-Governor J. M.
Brown has made nothing public as to
his lu’.ertlons.

PLEAD NOT GUILTY
IN DYNAMITING CASE.
Los Angeles, Cal., July 13.—In calm
tones John J. and James B. McNam
ara, alleged dynamite plotters, answer
ed “not guilty” to the 19 charges of
murder against them when, after ten
weeks in the Los Angeles county jail,
the time for them to plead arrived.
^^Tien Judge Walter Bordwell had
overruled every point advanced by
the defense for the quashing of the
indictments the two brothers declared
themselves not guilty.
John McNamara was the first to be
asked how he wished to plead.
He firmly answered. “Not guilty.”
Hardly a minute later James B. Mc
Namara made a similar response.
Afterward they replied at the same
time to the accusations, answering 19
separate times as to how they would
plead to the charges of murdering 19
employes of the Los Angeles Times
when the plant of that paper was de
stroyed by an explosion.
When the 19 murder accusations
had been answered John J. McKamara
stood at attention and answered “Not
guilty” to the charges.
The defense asked that the date of
trial be not fixed until Joseph Scott,
one of the McNamara attorneys, could
return from San Francisco. The pros
ecution objected, but Judge Bordwell
finally ordered a continuance until
Friday morning when the trial date
will be settled. The prosecution said
it wanted the trial to begin August 1.
The defense declared its preference
for December 1.
Executive Board
Met Last Night
\
Reached Decision About Ma
terial jor Permanent Im
provement and Decides to
Give Contract to West Con-
struction Company^
At the regular weekly meeting of
the city executive board last night
the board made definite decision as
to the kind of material that would be
used in permanent street improve
ments and what places would be pav
ed with given materials.
A definite decision was reached that
Bermudez asphalt and bitulithic would
by the materials used, the bitulithic i
on the steepest grades and the asphalt!
at other points. The choice of bitu-
litchic for grades was made because
asphalt is not considered satisfactory
where the grade is over ten per cent.
The steepest grade in the city is just
under the archway at the Seaboard
station, this being 8 per cent grade up
to Eleventh street. Elizabeth avenue
is 3 1-2 per cent grade.
The streets to be paved are North
Tryon from Sixth to the Seaboard
station; West Trade, from Mint to
Southern station; East avenue, from
Brevard to McDowell; Elizabeth ave
nue from McDowell to Hawthorne
Lane; Hawthorne Lane to Seventh
and Seventh to Pecan avenue.
From McDow^ell street to Pecan
avenue will be paved in bitulithic.
North Tryon street from Eleventh to
the Seaboard will be paved also In
bitulitchic. The balance of the perma
nent pavement Avill be in Bermudez
asphalt, with the exception of the
places at both passenger stations,
where carriages stand, which will be
paved in brick. Brick gutters will also
be put down on West Trade street
from Mint to the Southern station and
on North Tryon from Sixth to Ninth.
The whole amount of permanent
paving thus provided for is about 28
blocks, the cost of which will be about
$150,000. This includes paving, brick
gutters and sewers, the last represent
ing a cost of $20,000.
While the West Construction Com
pany secures the contract for the
permanent improvements, the War
ren Bros. Company of Boston, will also
furnish a part of the material. The
board was in receipt of a letter from
the latter company last night stating
its willingness to furnish some of the
material, provided the city pay to it
stated royalties therefor. This will be
agreed to by the board and will be
signed as soon as the document clear
ly stating all the details of the con
struction has been drawn up.
Other Matters.
A representative of the A. M. E.
Zion Publishing Company appeared
before the board asking that his firm
be reimbursed for expense they had
undergone in making sewer connec
tions. Since the connection was made,
it has been learned that the cost was
less than $600, the publishing company
paying $300, which was given out as
half the cost. It was explained by
the board that the sewer connections
in this case and in several others were
made at a time when the city was very
short of funds and the beneficiary was
compelled to pay half the cost in or
der to obtain the benefit. A motion
by Mr. Murphy carried instructing the
clerk to investigate the matter and
refund anything that was-properly due.

Carolina Games
Foi Next Season
(From Columbia State.)
Ashton H. Williams of Lake City
manager of the University of South
Carolina baseball team for 1912, Is
making what headway he can in ar
ranging a schedule, but finds chat
many of the managers are not inclin
ed to sign games this early. However,
he is in communication with a num
ber of large colleges and universities,
and it is expected that the schedule
will be one of the hardest the uni
versity has ever made.. The Unive-'
sity of South Carolina puts out a
baseball team that can compete wini
any college, and by their past records,
are able to get games with the biggest
of Northern and Southern schools.
To Play Virginia.
Of vital interest to the followers of
college ball, and especially those that
rool for the Gamecock crew, will be
the announcement that games with
the University of Virginia are prac
tically a surety. It is expected that
two games will be played at Char
lottesville, Va.. and one in Columbia.
Carolina has not met Virginia since
the spring of 1909, at which time two
games were played on the latter s
grounds. The result was one game
going to the credit of each institution.
For the past two seasons the Caro-
Virginla, but each time suitable dates
to both teams could not be arranged.
The game in Columbia will probably
draw the largest crowd that ever wit
nessed a “rah, rah,” baseball game in
South Carolina.
Another good game that will be
staged on Davis field will be with
Johns Hopkins university. It is prob
able that Carolina will play this In
stitution a return date in Baltimore
Other Games in Prospect.
Mr. Williams is now working on
the rest of the games. Of course-,
Davidson College of Charleston, A. and
and Lee and other stanbys will ba
played the annual series. The rest of
tee games w'ill be made up from the

Editor The News;
I have called attention before this
to the great danger of the rail roads
disposing of train sewerage, which is
contrary to every principle of sani
tation and decency. Think of the care
less way this dangerous material is
deposited along the rail road tracks,
where it polutes our water courses
and outrages every sense of justice
and cleanliness.
We all know that the sick and
unwell travel much, as well as the
healthy people, and the present way
for caring for the discharges of the
healthy and unhealthy means that a
great quantity of contaminating mate
rial is spread far and wide, which is
indeed a serious problem and the
rail roads should be stopped frrom
jeopardizing the health of our peo
ple and be forced to dispose of sewer
age in ways that rob it of all danger.
All closets on rail road trains
should be locked while passing
through towns and water sheds until
means of proper care of sewerage
be provided. And if the rail roads
not voluntarily care for train
sewerage, they should be forced to do
their duty by law, and stop this scit-
tering of filth and disease broadcast.
The wonder is that our people have
allowed tblT intolerable condition to
continue so long.

Charl'otte, N. C., July 13, 191L
which has been under discussion by
the board for some time, was brought
up. At a meeting of the board last
Saturday two local firms, Johnston,
Porter & Peck, and Mr. J. W. Haas,
made a bid for the curbing contract,
at which time the board divided the
contract between them. Later it was
learned that neither firm wanted half
the contract. Mr. Johnston had also
stated that his firm did not want the
whole contract. In consideration of
these facts the board last night voted
the whole ,curbing contract to Mr.
Haas, provided Mr. Johnston refuses.
City Engineer Firth made a report
to the board of the progress he is
maklns as superintendent of street; He
is at present working Sev^enth street;
has fixed up Graham between Sixth
and Seventh and will begin soon the
repairing of Church between Sixth and
Seventh.
It w’as agreed by the board to notify
the Charlotte Electric Railway Com
pany as to the kind of paving decided
upon by the city. A good deal of dis
cussion was engaged in as to whether
the street railway company will do its
own paving or not. The matter was
not voted on, but it seemed to be the
sense of the board that the company
should do its own paving.
The deliberations of the board were
presided over by Mr. Chambers, who
was chosen to act in the place of
