Charlotte Observer: Elegant in all its appointments, and abounding in pleasurable features from beginning to end, the annual banquet tendered by the Charlotte Council, United Com mercial Travelers, last night at the Stonewall hotel was one of the most memorable ever given in the city. The menu prepared by the management yf the Stonewall brought forth luxu ious dishes and covered the table wRh a most attractive spread. The german given the traveling men im mediately after the banquet was also well attended and proved to be vast ly enjoyable by those who remained to indulge in this feature of the even ing's programme.

" ; ure on the streets of Asheville moVe than a quarter of a century ago, and venerable old gray beards of today recall the day when "Kit" made her debut in mule society. They were boys then, and the mule grew apace and waxed wise . with ' them. Mrs King's father, Silas Stroup, presented -Kit 'to her in March, 1873, and the mule never disgraced her ownership. Kind and gentle always, she -never evinced any of those traits which art usually found in mule circles. She lived a quiet and refined life and it was fitting and proper that when the time came for her to pass to the hap py hunting grounds, "Kit's" journey thereto was made as easy as possible. She went by the chloroform route and her end was peace. Nearly every man, woman and child in . Buncombe county had a speaking acquaintance with the old mule and the news of her death will cause general regret, especially in ju venile circles. , ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE. M. T. Bowman, Son of Prominent Cleveland Man Tries Shooting. . Kings Mountain, pec 3i. In ary attempt to end his life' Mr. Morris T. Bowman, son of Mr. JT. T. Bowman, cashier of the Shelby National" bank, now lies in a critical ' condition with a bullet lodged somewhere in - or near nis brain. Mr. Bowman is about 25 years of age and has been stopping at the Mountain View hotel for sev eral days and his actions have caused a strict watch to be kept "upon him. It is understood that he has been in bad shape mentally for some time following a severe attack of fever and that his family has kept him un der surveillance for some time. It was for the purpose of allowing him to recuperate that he came to . Kings Mountain. ) Just about noon today he was see: to leave the yhotelv and -.walk, up the railroad a'nd when he reached the deep cut near the Dilling mills, it U said" that he walked back and for ward for some time, before commit ting the deed. There were no wit nesses to the shooting, but he was found unconscious almost immediate ly afterwards. He wascarried into the mill office, where a cot was pre pared and medical assistance procur ed. Dr. B. R. Hunter, who attend ed, reports that recovery is almost impossible and that death may be expected at any moment. Mr. Bowman, the unfortunate young man who in a moment of aberatioa so far forgot himself as to attempt to take his own life, was brought to' the Charlotte sanitarium last night by two Kings Mountain physicians, ac companied by his father. He was car ried immediately to the operating room and there effort was made to give him what relief science could afford. It is hoped that the operation was successful, though a an early hour this morning it could not be positively determined. The young man is in a desperate condition, pri marily from the wound itself and then from his physical status prior to the attempt yesterday afternoon. Mr Bowman has relatives in Lynchburg and Richmond, Va., and elsewhere. LOW PRESSURE AT NEWBERN. CHARGE AQfAINST POLICE. Rocky Mount Citizen Claims Store Was Invaded and Himself Beaten.

Mr. Davenport stat ed that language extremely 'disre spectful had been used by the officer that a pistol had been placed in hi? face and snapped three times, am? that he, had been struck by a billy while being held by another officer the affair having occurred in Mr. Dav enport's place of business after he had forbid the officer entering thi store without a warrant. . The mat ter grew out of ; the firing of torpo does and an effort on the part of the officer to collect a bond for Mr. Dav enport's appearance at court. The board heard the complaint of Mr. Davenport, but took no actior last night, pending a further investi gation. They will meet tonight in ex ecutive session and if the decision I? reached that there is ground for the disciplining of the officer, witnesses of the affair will be called in anr their statement heard in order to de termine to what extent the disciplin ing of the police should extend.

I7e Treat You Running of Water Pipes Embarrassed Fire Department. (Newberh Journal.) Householders may have been dis tressed Thursday and Friday because of cold weather and bursting water pines. -But how .much more the anx iety of city authorities, who must see to it that provision against any fire is ready. At the city hall water pressure guage, 20 to 20 pounds has leen the registration for two days Tli ink of such a pressure in case, o: lire, and worse, that this pressure has only been kept by the' full .work ing of the engines at the water works To be prepared the authorities have for two nights had the steam fire en gine ready to run out at the first alarm: horses and men ready to start aofirst signal. Yesterday was a busy day cutting out leaks, when reported. Every 'house holder should take individual action in this weather.. For the present no freezing danger exists. But on any t further threatened cold weather, wa ter should be cut off, not - let faucets run, for while this running may here and there save a pipe, several thou saDd of such running faucets means a waste that the water works cannot overcome.. It means possible immense loss if fire breaks out, for there will be no water pressure, and with the engine working night and day at full steam, anrd 25 .pounds pressure only at city hall, as shown Thursday and Friday, the peril is great . If the householders waste water from un reported leaks and running faucets, thev imperil the city. The authorities are helpless. This is a personal mat tor for every householder to-see to.

V Dec. 31-3t 3 Oays TOEE 7 6 r i Look for-the Bell on the Sole These are the Reasons Why Craddock Shoes Wear Longer We have no copyright or patent on making the best shoe e Jer offered for $3.50 and $4.00. Any manufacturer who can afford to use the same high grade of leather and put the same high grade of making into his shoes that sell at this price can compete with us. But no other manufacturer can afford it and no other manufacturer does it. j There are plenty of $3.50 - $4.00 shoes, but, too, there are a hundred and one shoemaking tricks. ' Take sole leather, for instance there are as many grades of sole leather as there are breeds of cats. The Craddock sole (4) is made of old-method tanned steer's hide. There is nothing better to be had even in $7. ancT$8 shoes, 'yhis is a fact. Take the inner sole the very life of the shoe. Some makers use thin and spongy flank leather here. The Craddock 'insole (5) is as heavy and as stout as some makers use for outsoles. It is tough and smooth and pliant. A cheap heel will soon wreck a good shoe. Some heels are half leather and half strawboard. The Craddock heel (1) is made of sole leather and the top lift (2) alone costs more than the whole heel of some shoes that sell at this price. If the counters and the toe boxes are weak the shoe wonrt wear well. Craddock counters (3) are made of a single piece of solid grain leather; they are as good as those used in any shoe at any price. Some counters are made of two pieces and others of soft' leather stiffened with glue. One good wetting will ruin them. Vamp leather must be tough, yet yielding to every movement of the foot. Craddock vamps (7) are cut from the best part of the best skins we can buy. The vamps of many shoes of this grade are cut from seconds skins that are imperfect, sometimes burned in the tanning. Craddock tops and quarters (8) are cut from special upper stock. Many shoemakers economize on linings a good grade. where it shows, a cheap stock away down inside, and this is often in two pieces stitched together. We use the best quality of duck, and there is no . seam in the toe to gall the foot. Craddock back-stays, outside and in (9), are cut from selected pieces of the same leather we cut our vamps from. Everything that makes for good shoemaking is employed. Every stitch is an honest stitch. The finishing, the findings, everything is of the best. All these statements are true and unvarnished. Our location, "know-how" and manufacturing facilities make it possible for us to make this shoe in the South and sell Jt in the South at this price. We have an advantage over every other maker of $3.50 and $4.00 shoes and we make the most of it for ourselves and our customers by making the Craddock Shoe the best shoe ever sold for $3.50 and $4.00. There's a Craddock dealer in your town. CRADDQCK-TERRY CO., Lynchburg, Va. 33X2 YOU WILL FIND THEM AT T&-3E WiLKflOMCTOM SHOE CQIRflPAIiW 523 NORTH FOURTH STREET.
