WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1911.
MAINE PROBABLY DRY.
From information lately received
It would seem that the dries really
carried Maine after all. This news
will be chronicled with regret by the
wet contingent, but from later re
turns, it would seem that it will be
necessary for them to put old Maine
back in the same column she has oc
cupied for years. The Richmond Vir
ginian publishes the following in this
connection:
"An item of considerable Interest
comes from North Carolina. Governor
Glenn, who did effective service in
Maine in the recent campaign there,
has received a letter from Mr. W. F.
Berry, of Wateh'ille, Maine, in which
he says:
" ‘Your letter of September 18, is
received. The announcement made by
the governor to which you refer was
a preliminary announcement based
upon the returns received at his of
fice, but errors have been discovered
In the returns in several towns, the
clerk ‘reversing the vote on the of
ficial returns made to the secretary
of state and the governor and coun
cil.
“ ‘The governor and council will
give ample opportunity for the correc
tion of these errors and I am confi
dent that they will see to it that the
'tt’Jll of the people as expressed in
tne legally cast ballots on September
11 shall be finally announced as to
the election.
“ 'Mr. Davis, secretary of state, told
me yesterday morning in the pres
ence of witnesses that it was cer
tain that the drys had won and that
the governor and every member of
the council were anxious only that
the vote, as legally cast, should be
finally announced.
*• ‘Mr. Pattangall, the state’s attor
ney general, also is quoted in the
doming papers as having admitted
a ’no’ victory by a big majority. The
errors committeed by town clerks
were by reversing the vote. Lime
stone voted 12 ‘yes’ and 175 ‘no,’ but
the town clerk in the report announc
ed it just the reverse—as 175 ayes
and 12 noei.
“ ‘This error alone will make a
big difference, more than enough to
change result.
“ 'A like mistake was made in the
returns from Athens, Westfield and
Matinicus Isle, and the corrections of
these errors will make a majority for
‘no* of at least seven hundred.
“ ‘We are all much gratified with
this mapority and had tlie stay at
homes in the rural sections and
small towns voted, the ‘no’ majority
would have been easily from 10,000
to 12,000.”’

Somehow or other these ‘'kesmote”
speeches, fired forth on. the “swing
around the circle" art painfully dis
cordant.

plenty of the long green is a sure

remedy would effect a cure.

The Greensboro News has just is
sued a splendid “prosperity” edition.
It was a thing of beauty and a joy
forever, lacking only in one point.
Thef ront page should have been
adorned with a life size picture of the
ever relished and never to be ,imitat
ed Mecklenburg county unkivered
pumpkin pie.
On all hands there are evidences
of improvement in Greensboro, as
this paragraph from The Record will
show:
‘Every ten years the windows of
the court house are washed. This iS
the year it is being done. So great
is the change that occupants of the
offices are looking around for shades
for the eye to,keep out the glare.”
In answ’er to President Taft’s ring
ing defense of the anti-trust law, Mr.
Bryan reminds him that it took a
number of years to secure action
against one big trust, and that to
date no trust magnate had been sent
to jail. Mr. Taft is opposing any
amendment to the law, but there
seems to be a growing desire on the
part of the public to so change the
law as to make possible criminal
prosecution of men guilty of law
breaking.
PEACE AT LAST.
The atmosphere surrounding the all
absorbing paving problem has been
clarified by the decision to put the
matter up to the finance committee.
The balabored aldermen are thereby
given respite from responsibliitiee
too great for mortal to bear.
The mayor no longer holds the
veto over their affrighted heads. In
itect sweet calm follows the chaos of
weeks past.
The upshoot of the whole matter Is
simply that the street car company
will proceed to pave thirty inches on
either side of the tracks, sharing a
1 reduction from |4,000 to |1,000 in
taxes as a sort of consolation' prize.
This arrangement, as regards taxa
tion, will hold good at least through
this administration.
Several days ago The News urged
the mayor to proceed along this line,
since both parties to the agree-
iment understood the doubt as to
(What some future administration
might do, and it is pleased that de-
iflnite action has fojlowed a period
,of futile wrangling.
The Concord Trlbtme is putting up
a'^dltable fight to have all the fast
tr^s make Concord a regular stop
ping point. The Tribune pertinently
defies any one to cite another town
of equal size in the state which is as
openly snubbed by the fast fliers aa
is Concord. As a matter of fact Con
cord is one of the llvelest towns in
the state and should not stand for
being ignored in this manner.

Adjudged Not Guilty oj The
Sale Of Two Battles of Beer
to a Citizm oj Stanley
County Saturday September
Sixteenth.
Pearl Saten, a colored damself, who
recently shook Monroe and selected
Charlotte as a more desirable place of
residence, was charged in the record
er’s court this morning with stealing
75 cents from Jennie Morris, another
colored woman, was sent up to the su
perior court, now in session, probable
cause being found against her.
“Preacher” Daniel Brice was ad
judged not guilty of the sale of two
bottles of beer to a well-known citizen
of Stanley county on Saturday, the
16th of September, when the citizen of
Stanley asked Daniel if he knew of the
hiding place of about two bottles of
Ice-cold beer. Dan assured him he
was in the right church and the right
pew if he were thirsty. The place was
Dan’s barber shop, on East Fifth
slreet. Dan told the citizen of Stan
ley to rest quietly where he was, while
Dan himself stepped out of the shop
laying his fingers across his lips in a
sign which is known everywhere to
mean, “Lay low and say nothing.”
Dan was about to return to the
thirsty Stanleyite with the goods
when the long arm of Sleuth Jim John
son reached out from nowhere and his
voice whispered low in Dan's ear,
‘Give it to me.” Hard by was Officer
M. M. Earnhardt, who went to the bar
ber shop door whistling, “That Barber
Shop Chord,” and signalled to the
waiting son of Stanley to come,
‘We’ve pot it,” he said. Jerking his
thumb over his shoulder towards where
Johnson was standing. The four went
across the street to the police station
and left the contraband article in
charge of Seargent Scullion. Mr. J. D.
McCall represented the defendant this
morning.
THE REVOLUTION IN
WOMEN’S CLOTHES.
The most notable modification in
women’s attire has been effected by
the acquiescence of the great fashion
creators to Nature’s ideas, states S.
H. Detrlchett, editor, of Dry Goods
Economist, in October Good House
keeping Magazine. The stiff carriage
of the body, bent forward at the hips,
with the chest constricted and forced
in, has followed the hour-glass figure
into limbo. The erect figure has be
come the mode—head thrown back,
chest up and forward, giving free play
lo the lungs and heart. The corset
has been made flexible. The tightly-
laced waist has been placed under the
ban. The large waist approaching 'the
lines familiar through the statues of
antiquity, has become the fashion. A
sinuous flexible and youthful form
has been the aim. This is enhanced by
the narrow lines of the costume. Slash
ing has been introduced, to give great
er freedom of movement. Tl^e cut Is
very plain and simple, and the skirt
devoid of ornament, or the fabrics
used are so sheer that they cling close
ly to the figure. Nothing must inter
fere with the narrow silhouette. The
petticoat is greatly reduced in width
or supplanted by closely fitting under
wear.
