The police were no- titled and Officer Earnhardt went over . to make an investigation.- He found the goods packed away in the fur nace as reported. He eame back to tie headquarters and was joined by Policeman Sloopi They decided to go 1 over" to the .brick yard and trait for ,. . . tb thieves to come for-the goods, but 'on their arrival they uw five white . 'men standing around the furnace each of them with his share of the spoils. . The officers crawled op the ditch until within short distance of the men when they made a dash to arrest them. The instant they appeared the -gang scattered in every direction. Officer Earnhardt picked a likely looking sin Zgie bird and the two engaged in one of the most exciting marathon races . - ever held in that section of the woods. The course lay. 'over the . meadows along the edge of Buffalo creek and 'the track was soft and mushy. - The ... 'lav breaker gained a few steps on the .start and managed to maintain the advantage throughout the race. While going along where the going was rough . vdown went the pursued and pursuer, ;toth receiving a lovely coat of mud, vbut neither gained any advantage in the race. By this time they had grossed the meadow and werecon- fronted by a thick hedge on the bank " Of the creek, but this held no terrors . for the fleeing man and on through the shrubbery and briars be went into - the cooling waters of the creek. -His classy work on taking the hedges and high places gave him such an advan tage that the officer gave np the chase. . Thirteen shirts and two hats were found scattered on the ground. The officers have strong suspicion as to who two of the men are by the hats V they found. ' Ncdue has as yet iden tified the goods and no robbery of any store has been reported at police headquarters. " v,v ... r I An Appreciation of Cap. OdelL J Mooresville Enterprise. .. -' $ North Carolina sustained a distinct lass last Friday in the death of Copt. r John M. Odell, of Concord. Not only - was he a pioneer in the cotton manu- - factoring interests of the South, but he was a captain among the masses. ' ' His leadership in any undertaking was ' never tjuestioned, and his influence for , good was ever-present wherever he chanced to be. We knew Captain Odell from our earliest recollection, : and as an observer .of men, we have never known a character more beau tiful or one more sincerely loved by bis people. Kind-hearted, charitable, - he never failed to relieve the distress Ned by word or deed. No man or wo- man who appealed to him were cast . aside, and there were thousands of . them during his long career. His en dorsement was sought by hundreds of young people entering upon a career . of their own; and if his approval was , stamped upon it, success erownel it. Never an uncharitable word or deed! is registered against him and in his . death he stands a peer among his fel- lows. He was a man, and measured - . far beyond tie present day standard. A King once said of a Prince struck down, '? Taller, he seems in death,"- , : Rapid Growth of Methodists.' , In a report just given out at Nash- ville," Tenn., it-is shown that during "the past quadrennium $3,193,685 was collected , on he foreign fleld by the two mission boards of the Methodist 'Episcopal Church, South.- This is an 'increase of $987,064 over the previous quadrennium: The report states further! ' 'The collections on the foreign field indi cate a. steady growth in the spirit of self-support. Four years ago the.to tal contributions amounted to $36,750 (United States currency) while dur ing the past year the snmof $52380 has been reported, an increase of $16, 130, v The increase in church "buildings is most striking. While in 1908 then were reported 167 churches and ehap ' els, we have 348 at the present time an increase of 181. Parsonages to Jbhe number of eighty have been built dur ing the last quadrennium. The value of property owned by the Church on the mission' field r has advanced to nearly two and a half million dollars, the exact figure being $2,427,454, or an increase of $1,063,323- :";:"'.v k' 1 ..:'.,&:.: The farmers of Union county have organized a live stock association, its object being to improve th breed of live stock.

Beaeley, a forty gallon brandy distillery and complete outfit and twenty-five gallons of low mini The raid was made at daylight and the distillery was found in full blast The officers had information that a distillery was in operation in the East Spencer community and the trap was planned early in the night Armed for any emergency the officers ap proached the corn field just at day break and closed in around a spot on a small branch running through the field. From the edge of the field the officers could see a dim light burning and they knew they had located their game.'. - ? ; . ". - The officers crept through the grow ing corn until within fifteen yards of the stilly Sheriff MoKenzie shouted to the operators to hold " np their hands. Four men were in the crowd. J. M. Freeman, D. L. Beasley and two unknown colored men. At the sound of Sheriff MoKenzie 's voice the entire crowd fled for their lives. J. M. Free man, the ioader of fihe blockaders. was soon run down and captured by Deputy Krider. D. L. Beasley, who was assisting in operating the distil lery, was caught by Deputy Tolbert, after, a hard chase in which the officer fired once to scare the fugitive, who fell at the edge of the field under the cover of a gun in the hands of the officer. . The two co'ored men who were at work with the owners of the plant made an unusually good run and escaped, being hotly pursued for nearly a mile by Sheriff McKenzie and Chief of Police Cruse. The officers have - their names, however, and it is believed they will yet be captured. ' Unable to give bond. Freeman was taken to Rowan county jail to await trial. He is an old offender and was recently released from the ' county chain gang, where he was serving a 4r year sentence tot retailing. He has a family in East Spencer. Bather than go to jail, Beasley gave bond ' in the sum of $500, for his appearance at court. "He conducts a small farm in East Spencer and has a family.. - : The distillery, wines and firearms found on the premises were taken in charge by the officers, and it is now believed that a good crop of corn will be made on the spot. ,' '..

AJsn ytninjs have happened to delay the enormous amount of wjrk neces sary to the tuiit'ing, but the man agement several months ago decided that a temporary stand must be found and the new work should begin the nrst of August. The Charlotte Auditorium at the corner of Mth and College streets, has-been secured and within a few days, moving will commence. - The place on East Trade street will be partly torn down and a new and ele gant building erected. . The site is an excellent one and .money will not be spared to make the stand' one of the most beautif ul in the State. - The stock carried in 'the store at present will be Bold in the Audito rium during the months'that will be necessary for the workmen to build on the Trade street property. The floor space at the Auditorium is the largest in the city, and the immense stock can be displayed to good ad vantage there..

Dr. George Murray Stuart, a young physician of Pitsburg, Pa., was found dead in bed with S bullet hole in his head Monday night, and by his side the body of Edna Wallace, ' a well known woman of Pittsburg's under world, who, it is believed, shot .the physician and then killed herself. Invitations to the physician's mar riage on August 10 were issued re cently. Dr. Stuart's parents live at Winchester, Va, and his bride was to have been Miss Alice Pauline Simp son, of Laws, Va. : In the bachelor apartment of Dr. Stuart the police found his wedding garments carefully packed. ' 1 Tneyoung doctor w as doing well in his' new location and happy over his approaching marriage. He said just Hew days ago to several friends among the younger phyeioians: ' -v "I'm doing finely, and lam ad as it will make it nicer for my fiance." identification of the Wallace wo man' was completed when her body was viewed at the morgue by a brother-in-law. The woman's sister, who lives in Pittsburgh North Side, has refused to allow the body to be brought to her home. : Speaking bitter words Edna Wal lace addressed Attorney M. L. Thomp son s lew days ago. u she hinted vaguely at the murder and her own suicide. , . "That is the way," she exclaimed, "the gay yonng men run around with us, and when they find nice girls they like they marry them and throw us aside' Oh, well, I suppose that is the way of the world- . ... The woman known as Edna Wallace was 'Bertha Neuland. of the North Side. Her friends say Dr. Stuart had promised to marry her. and she already had begun preparations for tne weding in September. - An unsigned letter from Virginia is said to have acquainted her with the fact that Dr. Stuart was to be married to Miss Simpson in a few days. This knowledge, the police say, led her to kill Dr. Stuart and then take her own lifei Thittne double crime was uremedi- that the: Wallace woman bad made her pr ill and mailed it to her attorney, with a note saying that 11 she were not seen Monday night she would never be seen again. X ! Dr. Stuart was last seen alive about 9:20 o'clock on Sunday evening. He then was sitting on the steps in front of his office. A few minutes before that he had talked to Charles Seibert, a clerk in the drug store at the corner of Negley and Pennsylvania avenues, making a purchase of some shaving soap1 and a toothbrush. , During his conversation with the clerk the physician mentioned his com ing marriage on August 10 to a Ss ginia girl. - .

Returns to Build up' a Strong Se- pnUican Orpnliatton. - Mr. R. W. Vincent, writing from Morebeed City, has the following in this' morning 's Charlotte Observer : That Congressman John M. More head will be the next Chairman of the Republican State executive eon mittee is a foregone conclusion; that he will not be a candidate to suoeed himself in Congress from fhe fifth dis- t V ?lJ 1?t6re?tin facts I havegathered in a few days' sojourn at Republican headquarters, for so this famous resort, for weeks a beehive of political activity, may be justly termed. Further, and of equal interest, especially to the people of the fiftih district, is the strong proba bility that Prof. W. A. Blair, of Winston-Salem, will be nominated to op pose Major Charles M. Stedman, Pro fessor Blair is one of the strongest candidates the Republicans of the dis trict could select. He is a member of the national educational board, a man of strong intellect and great ability and a good speaker. While CoL John W. Fries has been "mentioned" it may be put down as practically cer tain that Mr. Blair will be the nom inee. The fight against Chairman Duncan has been one of the most interesting situations that has developed in Re publican politics in years. - Mr. Dun can has made the beet resistance pos sible with only the organization of Federal office-holders at his , com mand, but it seems evident that the has lost. For the first time' in the history of the Republican party in the tSate the rank and file has waked up and for the first time in its history has begun at the beginning the pri maries. Quietly, but assiduously, ever since last January the plans to over throw the present regime have been in formation. It .embraced the or ganization of every precinct of every county in the State something new for the Republicans, for it is known of all men that the office-holding Re publicans of the State wanted no or ganization and did not want the party to grow. The spoils wouldn't go around if the warty developed.

As a prominent Democrat, who is summering here, remarked tonight: "The Republicans are going to give us more trouble this fall than they have in some years and a of a lot more two years hence. The Democrats of the State make , a mistake in underestimating the smartness of this man Butler. They may as well understand now that they have him to reckon with." Miss Sarah McCorkle, Messrs Ther man Long and Connor SherrilL of Charlotte, spent yesterday afternoon m the city, traveling in a Maxwell roadster. V -'; -,,''
