Three North Carolina men one an ex-Confederate soldier sat together. Thev live in the j same section of the state. One j is retired from active business; j one is actively engaged in the manufacturing business; and the other is a large farmer, manu facturer, banker and trader. The three men represent estates the combined value of which is a little more than a million dollars; and the curious part of which is that each one started out in life without a "red cent." The direct question was asked of each: "How did you make the first money?" Entered the retired man retired not from lack of interest in business or a tired feeling or a desire to sport who is sadly afflicted. The first money "I made," said he, "I worked in my father's shop the blindest partisan must recog nize his infamy. Marion Butler's position is probably without a paralled ex cept that of Daniel L.

He is worth over $100, 000, is a lovable character, with out malice, and has grit equal to the gritiest.

This man is a public spirited citizen of one of the best towns in the 6tate; takes an active interest in educational matters; stands on the side of of the poolers and of the' banks which have loaned money on the pooled tobacco was so strong as to override the opposition of President Clarence LeBus to put ting the 1909 pool off the'market now, and as the society has by offering it at private sale last August and by putting it up at auction in this city for a week or more past tried unsuccessfully to sell this tobacco, there is now practically nothing left but to place it on the open market and let it go without reserve. ENORMOUS COST OP SALE. Another reason why the en tire pool will probably now be sold is the tremendous cost in cooperage and freight charges which will be involved in placing .this vast bulk of tobacco on the markets. It is estimated that this cost will be at least $1,200, 000, which will have to be ex pended in placing the pooled to bacco in hogsheads and shipping it to the Louisville, Cincinnati and Lexington breaks. The society oflicials also feel confident that as the society has the new crops. Then it is ex pected that prices will probably slump badly. However, there are not a few ordinarily well-posted men, who figure that the American Tobacco Company will feel to some ex tent in honor bound to buy the crop ef 1910 at fair prices to en courage the nonpooling principle and discov.-ige a pool for next year, and that it will tak- all of the offerings of this season and store the surplus away to be held as a reserve to prevent a pinch in its supplp should future pools arise. Same Thing. Mr. Simpson was reading the newspaper. "Here's a Chicago man got into a drunken brawl and was stabbed to death," he said aloud. His wife glanced up from her knitting, and commented, "In some low saloon, I suppose?" "No; ta' paper says he got stabbed in th thoratic cavity." "Same thing; you'd think th police'd close such a place up." worked hard all day and when he came home he wanted a good supper and comfortable quarters; that instead of this . all he got uplift work; is unselfish; and hasj0. . a . , . . - -t u j anJ he couldn t stand it. a wife that is one of God s noblewomen she is not above darning socks, and affluence and the power of the money at her; disposal has changed her not one bit. The third man was asked how he made his first money. He is up in seventy, an ex-Confederate soldier, still active and lively, No Need To Carry Them Out. In a little Missouri town, in the present campaign, a Repub lican candidate for Congress, was addressing an audience on the hustings. He paid a high compliment to the Taf t adminis tration and then, in spread-eagle still driving trades and looking ' fashion declared: For pains la the side or chest dampen a piece of flannel lih Cha mberlain's Llulment and bind it on u.. . i .,,. , ,1 i r me eeai oi me pain, mere is uj uc i .tr iiv luupuacu p.au re-, nothing butter. For sale by all deal- .moved all of the restrictions to ers. for mor. They say that he is worth near a million dollars. His father was a carpenter. He was permitted to burn the dead tim ber in the woods and sell the ashes ul a neighbor. This was his regular Saturday's work -the other five having been taken up in doing a specified task, winning Saturday as his own and he soid the ashes receiving therefor the princely sum of ten cents. And this is how the North Carolina millionaire made his first money, and his wife wastes no time in idleness. She is a busy woman at real, useful things, and keep ing alive in her soul and at her finger's end the grand old music of sixty years ago. It's worth going miles to hear her perform on the piano. And here are three And. gentlemen of this thriving little town. I want to assure you that if I am honored by your vote? and am sent from this district to the halls of Con gress to represent you honest, clean-handed, God-fearing peo ple, the best people that the sun shines upon, I .vill carry out the! polhies of the present adminis tration. Then up jumped a man in the rear of the hall, who shouted: Schafer bonds, which were prov ed before the supreme court of the United States to be not frau dulent, but Butler denied that he had even had any connection whatever with the repudiated carpet-bag bonds. He went fur ther. He declared that he had been approached by holders of these bonds and asked to assist in their collection, but that he refused his aid. However, it has been shown Marion -Sutler's name wasEfe-n-' jW h 'advertisement which apk peared,m the New York Evening Post of April 28. 1905, and which declared that he and his asso ciates wert in position to force payment of repudiated state bonds of every class. If Marion Butl r has been cor rectly reported in the newspapers he is a man to whom the short and ugly word can be applied with all safetv. Marion Butler, in a speech at High Point Thursday night, waid the charges were false, that Josephus Daniels and Senator F. M. Simmons were liars and cow ards, but he did not say that the advertisement did not appear in the Post and he did not say that his name was signed to it with out his knowledge and consent Until Marion Butler can ex plain away this advertisement and we confess that we cannot see to save our life how he can explain it away the people of the state have a right to think, and they will think the worst of him. ; 1 Now a word as to Mr- John M. ! Morehead, chairman of the Re-1 publican party in North Carolina j The Journal has always hadaj high regard for Mr. Morehead. j We have believed that he was a man of honor. We believe, frankly, that if Mr. Morehead is really desiroun of building up the Republican party in North Caro- ' 1 ... una, ne snouia part company with Marion Butler. It is true that Marion Butler played a big part in making Mr. Morehead nobles danced while the peas ants writhed in pain, But the People spoke, and we pray our God that nevr and ne'er again Shall the streets run red with a crimson flood while fiends their orgies hold; Yet out of that chaos a New Earth swung, displacing the shameless Old. Oh, the tale of life is the tals of strife 'twixt Gre;JwHi the poor and weak, ; ; But they sometimes rise in their black despair and what if the People speak? From out of the gulf of the voiceless depths there soundest a muffled sigh, The fleeting ghost of a woman's sod or wrath of a childish cry.
