The chain gang is now working the roads in Conoconara township. We understand Mr. A. T. Dickens, the superintendent, is doing some good wcrk, as he usually does wher ever he goes. Judge Webb made a pretty good reputation for sending law violators to the roads last week, having sen tenced 20 to the roads, and nine cf them were for selling whiskey and the other eleven were for carrying pistols, fighting, stealing, &c. Willie Blue, the regro that was shot in the shoulder while resisting arrest at Neal's station several weeks ago, was carried to jail at Halifax Monday. The wound is healing very nicely and to all indications the dan ger point has passed. Blue will have to await trial at the November t3rm of court. We are publishing the annual statement of the town again this week for the reason that our printer made two slight errors one in the arc light item and the other in the balance of the town. Our readers will also find the statement of the electric light plant and the graded school in another column. Revenue Officers Here. Deputy Collector R. J. Lewis, of Littleton, and general deputy D. S. Bower?, were here last. Friday look ing after the enforcement of the rev enue laws. We understand these officers visited several places of bus iness and some few negro homes and the mere fact of these officers being in town put some of the boys in a hurry. Two of the stores visited were selling beer, one restaurant was sell ing whiskey and at two other places they did not find anything. The beer sellers readily made applica tions for Federal whiskey license and the restaurant keeper was miss ing Miss Margaret Bowers is visiting in Enfield this week. Mr. Frank A.

By ordering the grand jury to investigate and report to him the names of women who belong to whist clubs that have a habit of playing for prizes, Judge C. M. Cooke created a small sensa tion here yesterday. Judge Cooke is presiding at the August term of Davidson county Superior court, which convened here at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, having been de layed twenty-four hours by the non appearance of the jude himself. The most noteworthy parts of the fifty-minute charge to the grand ju ry were the sections given to the gamblers and the men who have the habit of selling cigarettes to boys under seventeen. The reference of the whist-play- vcre castigation of the officer, all too common in the judge's opinion who i spares no time for energy in his ef forts to catch a bunch of negroes playing craps in some deserted shar ty but who. day after day, will pars some big building 'vi here he knows perfectly well some prominent citi zens are engaged m a poker game but makes no effort to disturb them. The judge warned the officers that they need not expect him to send a single ci ap-shootir.g regro to the roads unless he can send some of the h!gh society gamblers along to keep him company. Then he turned to the women. In a ere-a number of tho town he vis ited, he said, the ladies of the com munity, had a habit of forming a whist club; each member would "chip in" to buy a prize for which they would all then play. He did n't know whether this condition pre vailed in Lexihgton cr not; it might be different from other towns in not having such an organization and if it was he would stop rijrht there: was Lexington different? He pau sed and for a moment there was a dead hush; then a voice from the bar remarked that it was not, and the judge proceeded. He told the garnd jury that it was its duty to investigate the existence of such an orgr.riiztion and instructed the jury if it found one, to learn the names of the members and hand them to him they were not to be indicted for he persona1 ly would attend to their casas, but if the practice had not been stopped by the next term of criminal court he would instruct the solicitor to take action. The judge urged the grand jury to get after the men who sell cigar ettes to boys under seventeen years of age, promising to teach them a few things they might not know. Democratic Prospects BrigiUerT&an at Any Time in Party's History. Raleigh, Aug. 21. That Demo cratic prospects in the State are bet ter than they have ever been in the history of the party in North Caro lina, and that Democrats are united to a maa.on tho Presidential and State tickets, was the declaration of Chairman Webb in opening State headquarters here today. He pre dicts a Democratic majority of 75,000. "I know", he said, "that Roose velt and the Progressives are claim ing that they will get some Demo cratic votes, but after diligent inqui ry, I have heard of only one perron who calls himself a Democrat, who says he will vote for Roosevelt. On the other hand, 1 personally know of many Republicans who have stat ed that they will vote for VViFon. In some insianees life-long Republi cans have joined the W dr.on-Craig clubs and I have numbers of letters frm Rc-publicDne stathig that they expect to vote for Wilson." Mr. Webb opened Ids headquar ters in the Yarborou-h bote! today and has with him Secretory Brcek of Wadesboro and Mi.rs Fieeman of Aohe ill?, the latv.-r as stenographer.

Craig Opens Cisspr.fg.i k Lsnrfs?;-?;? vcr ner Mcs? Pay For Papers. During the last term of the circuit court of Atchison county, Missouri, the case of IT. F. Staple vs. Charles Traub was tried. The suit was brought on a long standing account and among other items was sixteen years' subscription for the Atchison County Mail. Mr. Traub refused to pay for The Mail, claiming that he did not take the paper, and that he had refused to take the paper from the postoflice and mail box a number of times. The plaintiff proved by postmasters, deputy postmasters and others that Mr. Traub did take the paper during all the sixteen years. In the case it was shown that ac cording to law, even if a subscriber does occasionally order a newspaper discontinued or refuse to accept it, he cannot get out of paying what he owes for the paper, and the sub. scriber must pay arrearage before stopping the paper. The jury in the case was oit only a short time and brought in a ver dict for the entire account, includ ing the subscription for The Mail sixteen years at $1.50 a year, or $24. The cost in the justice court and the circuit court amounted to about $100 besides the attorney fees. A similar case has been decided by the court of appeals and it was held in thaa-eSsef that any one taking a newspaper must pay for it as long as they take it from the postoffice. Publishers' Auxiliary. When we sin against the laws of sense and sanitation, we are certain to suffer for it. Lauvingburg, N. C, Angus One of the largest crowds that assembled in the court house today heard Hon. Locke Craig meke the opening speech of the campaign for North Carolina. People form all sections of th: county anu rrom j.-.-mmg eouiues thronged the town during the middle 'of the day Mr. Craig reached Lnu ringburg this morning and until noon spent the time in shaking bands with bis friends. Mr. Craig and Congressman R. N Page together with a number of their friends' were entertained atdin nor by Judge Walter II. Nerd at his home cn Church street. At .1 o'clock the hour for the spea king, all nvi'lhF space in th? court house was taken and a large crowd remainded on the outside. The music was furnished by the Rockingham band. Mr. E. IL Gib son, chairman of the County Demo cratic Executive Committee, presid ed. Mr. G. 11. Russell, of the local bar, intrduced Mr. Craig and rrfiVr ed to the fact that the notable cam paign of 1808 was opened in Laurir burg and that one of the speakers was Hon. Locke Craig, the other be ing Governor Avcock. These two sons have each been signally honor ed by the people of the stute. In 1900 the nomination for Governor was unanimosly given to Governor Aycock and that in 1012 Mr. Oag had received the nomination unani mously. Mr. Craig spoke for nearly two hours and despite the crowded house and warm weather, he held the clo sest attention of his audience during the entire time. tmammmmmm, fpl tutf & ij M lift!
