A Fitting Monument,
We are heartily in accord with the
opinion of the Statesville Landmark
when it says that a home for the old

fittingly honor their memory than any
monument that might be erected. To

struggle here below is something
grander and nobler than to await for
them to pass over the river and then
perpetuate their name in stone or
granite.. Monuments are oftentimes
appropriate things but are poor substi

there are folks to the contrary who
think that people can go all of life’s

monument after they have departed. —

The Work Of a Fiend.
A few days past we met a gentle
man from Wilson that gave us some
information in regard to the recent
tragedy there, that we have never seen
in print, or heard before. We were
told that after Deputy Sheriff Mam-
ford bad been shot through the stomach,
fataly wounded and partialy paralyzed
from the shock that he walked a few
feet from the front of the house and
sat down near a tree, while in this po
sition West came out of the house and
seeing him sitting by ^he tree still
alive walked up to him, and said
damn you I thought you were dead, if
you are not I will kill you. Disregard
ing Mumford plea for life he placed
his pistol to his temple and fired one
bullet just above his eye, and one in
his eye, both balls plowed their way
through his brain coming out at the
reer of his head, and Mumford fell
over dead. It would be difficult to
conceive of more heartless brutality.
This was the work of a fiend.

Sunday morning Feby. 12-1911 Mrs.
Henrietta Sykes passed over the river
to the “Bright Beyond” where sorrow

about 27 years old and leaves four lit

the grim destroyer came and laid his
icy hand on this dear and lovable wom-r
an she was ready to exchange this
world of sorrow and suffering for that
bright realm where grief and pain
are felt and feared no more. To know
Etta was to love her. She possessed
such a bright and cheerful disposition
and delighted in contributing to th«
pleasure and comfort of others. During
her short life with us she drew arouqd
her a large circle of friends, and the
memory of her gentle spirit and pleas

The funeral services were conducted
by The Rev. Bryant at Chestnut Ridge
Monday and her cold and lifeless form
was laid to rest in the old church yard
of the church of which she had been

to build a railroad in any direction

Democrats have declined to give big
offices to Swthem men through fear,
while Republicans have neglected to do
so through cupidity. This observing,
The Pensacola Journal declares that
“the Republicanse have been the greater
offenders and all this goes to show that
the Democratic party comes nearer to
being the great national party than
does the Reprblican, ” The Democratic
party would come a great deal nearer
if the South had not turned away from
Grover Cleveland. Even so, however,
we agree that the Democratic party
has time better of the argument.—
Charlott Observer.
The criticism of The Journal prob
ably has reference to the failure of
the Democratic party to nominate a
Southern ;man for President or Vice
President. It can truthfully have no
other application. The only time since
the civil war the Democratic party has
had big offices to give to anybody was
during the two Cleveland administration
and certainly Mr. Cleveland did not
fail *‘to give big offices to Southern
men.” At his first inauguration we
were only decades removed from the
close of the civil war, and sectional
feeling was still very strong. Nowith
standing this, during that administration
and his second in the 90s, M. Cleveland
gave to Southern men the highest
offices in his gift. They were called to
his cabinet and given high posts of
honor in the foreign service. The
truth is, the only recognition of con-
sec^uence the South has had in the af
fairs of government—outside of Con
gress, of course—since the civil war,
was given by that great man, Grover
Cleveland. And with the statement of
this fact comes the shameful recollec
tion that the Southern politicians were
most conspicuous among those who
bitterly and unjustly assailed him in
the hour of his greatest need. But
while this will ever stand as a marks of
shame let us not forget that while the
South voted for Mr. Cleveland he was
generous in honoring her sons.

Mose Speaks Murders
Wife And Fatally Wounds
Son-In-Law.
Mose Speaks, a resident ot Cloverdale,
suburb south of High Point, com
mitted what is considered the mos-
dastardly crime in the history of High
Paint. About 5 o’clock Saturday he
arose, went to the home of his son-in
law. Will Miller, about three blocks
away, awoke him and told him that he,
Speaks, had a letter for Miller, while
Miller was dreesing and in the position
of putting on his shoes. Speaks spriner
upon him with a large butcher knife
nd stabbed him a number of times,
once between the eight rib once on the
right hip and once on the right arm.
The first stab severed the loft half of
the lung and will probably cause his
death.
From Miller’s home, Si>eaks went
directly to his own house, entered the
same, where his wife and one son were
eating breakfast, sprang upon his
wise and stabbed her three times in the
right breast, killing her almost instantly
The son, who was in the room with his
mother at the time, was so completely
shocked at the crime that he made no
attempt to overpower his father, who
made good his escape.
Leaving the house, he was heard to
say he was going over to the silk mill,
where one of his daughters was at
work, to Wll her. It is said Speaks
went to the silk mill and called for his
daughter, but was not permitted to see
her. By the time the officers could be
notified and get to the scene. Speaks
had made good his escape and has not
yet been located. A thorough search
is being made and no effort will be
left undone to locate the criminal.
Speaks has since been arrested and
lodged in Ijail, if he has money his
lawers will set up the plea of a brain
storm. If he ‘has none he will likely
meet an electric {storm.

(From the article on ‘*The Standard
Oil Company—Bankers” “The Masters
of Capital” series, by George Kibbe
Turner and John Moody, in McClure’s
Magazine for March. )
The Standard Oil owns ninety per
cent of the great mass of refinable
crude oil now in storage; it holds by
lease a territory producing at least a
third of the refinable oil in the United
States; its pipe lines cross the country
from the Gulf of Mexico to the North
Atlantic in such a way that any new
oil-field that may be found will be
immediately appropriated by some
extension of these lines: its refiners
now cover the entire United States in
locations that are commercially perfect.
No government, having absolute control
of the resources of the country, could
better its arrangement It holds the
refining industries of the United States
with a gfrip stronger than it ever had
before.
Half of the independent refiners lie
east upon the old Pennsylvania and
Ohio fields. The Pennsylvania petro
leum now costs them $1.30 a barrel; it
cannot go much lower, because it cannot
be produced much cheaper in that old
and worked out region. The Ohio oil
costs 85 cents, and is falling rapidly.
It is now apparently too late for these
Eastern refineries to get the cheap oil
of Illinois by pipe lines. The Standard
owns most of that fieM. In the mean
while, the Standard Comp-iny is buying
in Oklahoma an oil not much inferior,
jnder existing market conditions, to
Pennsylvania oil, and better than the
Ohi^ oil, for 45 cents a barrel.
Under these conditions, the Standard
Oil. if it cared to do so, could quickly
wipe out its competitors. It will not
do so, for it would cost too much money.
The refhiers of the high-priced petrole
um are making much of their kerosene
at a loss; some of the low qualities of
it they sell for actually less a gallon
than the crude oil cost. But they are
still making some profit from the other
products. The Standard is not really
forcing them. The change of 1910 has
in fact, come from perfectly natural
conditions—the great flow of cheap oil
produced fn the past few years. The
Standard has most of this oil. Half of
the independent'refiners of the country.

he completely exhonorated Lonnie

whom he claimed heretofore of being

Sanders home that evening and laid his
plans aeainst Miss Sanders. He had
supper in the kitchen and helped shell

Sanders by beating him over the head
with a chair. Then he killed the little
girl, Irene Overton with the chair and
ran into the yard after Miss Sanders,
who fled screaming. He overcame her
and finished his work of outrage and
murder. Then he assembled the bodies
in the house, poured oil from a lamp
and set the place on fire. It was his
knife dropped in the yard after he had
used it on Miss Sanders, that led to his
arrest. Then clothing and other articles
taken from the house were found in
his room. He was tried and sentenced
in a spcial term of court under the
guard of two • companies of militias.

Terms From Washingtons
Farewell Address.
Delivered Sept. 19, 1796.
The very idea of the power ahd the
right of the people to establish govern
ment presupposes the duty of every in
dividual to obey the established gov
ernment.
There is an opinion that parties in
free countries are useful checks upon
the administration of the government
and keep alive the spirit of liberty.
This within certain limits is probably
true, and in governments of monarchi
cal cast patriotism may look with in
dulgence, if not with favor, upon the
spirit of party. But in those of popu
lar character, in governments purely
elective, it is a spirit not to be en
couraged.
Of all the dispositions and habits
which lead to political prosperity, re
ligion and morality are indispensable
supports.
Observe good faith and justice to
ward all nations. Cultivate peace and
harmony with all.
Against the insidious wiles of fore
ign ifluence I conjure you to believe
me. fellow citizens, the jelsousy of a
free people ought to be constantly
awake, since history and experience
prove that foreign influence is one of
most baneful foes of republican govern
ment.
