For the Ia3t eight or nine years, la a remodelled form, it has been an apartment build ing. A few days ago a carpenter, tearing away old planking to build a porch, broke through a wall and made dis coveries which made No. 3624 Ellis Park a house of mystery. Between the second anc third floors he found a hidden apartment, of which not even John Chamales, new owner of the building, knew. Gingerly Frank Wilder, the carpenter, entered through the hole he had made n the wall. He found a complete set of rooms running from front to rear of the building. The walls and ceiling were unfinished. There were no windows and no visible means of exit. There wa& a small table in one corner with a few dishes on it, and an old copper . lamp. Rust covered, but with a fry-, ing pan of ancient days still on it, , there was a stove. Some straw "J a , corner seemed to indicate where the; mysterious occupant of the mystery 1 1 1 1 1 o i. chamber had slept. a f VK-hmn- 4-ii'rk -nro 11c served as a hanger for an old coat. .

By no means all the men of twenty one in the country are qualified vo ters, for the varying laws of the States . place certain restrictions on suffrage that become exceedingly im portant in presidential years. Florida abettors." bars "duelists and their More than a dozen States bar de linquent taxpayers from voting. Michigan and several other" States bar Indians with tribal relations. Mississippi bars from the voting privilege all Indians who are not taxed. Ability to read the State constitu- ! tion is a necessary qualification In Wyoming. Vermohterr. cannot vote if they lack the approbation of the local board of civil authority. Vagrants are not voters in Ala bama, nor are embezzlers of public funds, if there are any such, in Cali fornia. Idiots, the insane and persons con-i victed of felonies are barred from the voting privilege in nearly all the States. Delaware, New Jersey, South Caro lina, Virginia and raosc of the New England States penalize pauperism by taking away the voting privilege. Mississippi puts up the bars against bigamists and New York specially! disqualifies from voting any person who has been convicted of bribery. Until a comparatively recent date several of the States denied the! franchise to "unamnestied Confeder- ates against the United States." Ohio refuses to let United States soldiers, sailors or marines vote, as do Virginia, Utah, Texas, South Da- kota. Oreeron. New .Tersev. Montana, i Missouri, Indiana and Arizona. At practically every State bars convicts from the voting privilege and there are more than 100,000 con victs in the prisons of the country, election day will mean nothing to a whole army of them. Two years' residence is a necessary qualification for voting in nearly all of the Southern States, while one year, and in many cases only six months' residence ,is required, in other sections of the" country. The residents of the District of Columbia have never enjoyed the right to vote for President or other National officers, since the territory embraced in it was ceded to the United States and became the seat of the Federal government. Women will vote in this general election in twelve States Illinois, Colorado, Kansas, Wyoming, Mon tana, Utah, Arizona, Idaho, Washing ton, Oregon, California and Nevada, i a fact which the National campaign managers of M parties have taken consideration These gtates. rep. on Jn thj electoral coU rnnn. tn Q1 vnia Tf ,c MBl.

A decree promulgated last spring further resricting immigration to the Argentine Rapublic will take effect October 26. During the past two years the de parture of settlers and other for Eu rope has been so marked that some statesmen have been alarmed over the fact that a country with such a large i area and a relative sparse population ! could not hold its habitants. The gov-' eminent, however, has not been im pressed and by decree which becomes effective next month, many stringent j conditions will hereafter surround permission of immigrants to land In the Argentine. Any persons found suffering from organic disease, making the subject unfit for work, will be barred, as wiil cripples, the latter provision supposed ly being aimed at a possible invasion by wounded soldiers after the Euro pean war. Another clause of the new restriction bars all those who have been beggars in the country of origin and all other persons who may be considered likely to become a public charge.' The entire responsibility of bring ing undesirables to the country is placed .upon the captain or owners of the vessel which brings them, and in case immigrants are rejected the ves sel must return them to the port of embarkation. In shipping circles it is said that this risk of bringing pos sible undesirable immigrants from European countries where registra tion is either defective or not prac ticed at all makes the entire business of immigration undesirable in the viewpoint of the steamship compan ies. It is provided in the regulations however, that first-class passengers are exempt from all the penalties pre scribed in the decree, a fact which suggests that in future immigrants may travel safely as salon passeng ers.

Bellamy & Son, 10-27-30dys Attorneys. priced hoes MOB Others S oin HOUR CHALLENGES Chairman Warren Says That They Will Tend to Increase v The Majority. Raleigh, Nov. 7. Chairman Tom Warren, of the State Democratic Ex ecutive Committee, spent the last day before the election in his office and after voting in New Bern," will return to Raleigh to receive the news from State and Nation, especially from the State. Democratic headquarters will be open all night if the news comes in. Mr. Warren's county. Craven, had a number of eleventh-hour challenges and. developed a miniature Mecklen burg situation. Basing the Mecklen burg situation upon the Craven coup the chairman was not disposed to tnke it seriously. "In my county many ot the challenges fall down without any explanation from the challenged." he said. "Many of the men are above 50, some are more than 60 and even more than 70," he said, "and it will have a good effect, I think. It will cause other Democrats who were in different to become aroused and in crease our majority." Wake county Republicans were disposed to take the same view. They took no chances on whole sal challenge. They argued that- if the trick failed to stop voters sup posed to be illegal, it would certainly rebound against the challengers. The local Republicans were so frell pleased with the end of their cam paign that they would take no chances. They had been furnished no reason for thinking illegal voters were being sent against them. And some of them cannot see how they will fare famously before a Democratic registrar and a Demo cratic pollholder against one Republi can pollholder. Two to one never failed when it became necessary to vote that way and if they should car ry the thing into the State courts the advantages there cannot be so read ily seen. Furthermore, if the think should go into the Federal courts and be tried there there is no guarantee that the United States would bo in better shape than the State. In other words, local Republicans very freely suggest that a bad bone head has been played in CharloHo. REGULAR DINNER TWENTY-FJVE CENTS NEW YORK CAFE. Oacar P. Peck, WOOD. 4 t Telephone 341.
