It waa true that both Representatives from Halifax, both of thtm living in Scotland Neck, favored the bill, but he thought the bent Interests of the State, aa well as of that county would be subserved best by the defeat of the bill and that he looked at It from this standpoint. NVal, of Hall fax, denied the statement that all waa peaceful in Scotland Nock, say ing it waa a bad mistake, because now It was a place of unrest and turmoil, because of the proposition to deny its people the right of vot ing on anything. Neal said he did not represent the wets or the drys, but tried to represent all the peo ple, and that when he went home last Saturday he never got such a cordial reception in his life. He said that If th bill waa pass ed he would go home the happiest man in the State, because his people would approve his stand here for Justice and Democratic principles. The bar-room men put prohibition on Scotland Neck when it first came to keep off a dispensary.

The Senate took un Kluttl's bill to compel prompt delivery of telegrams, It having n favorable; commute report, nlso a minority, report by Pharr and Hicks. A considerable debate resulted.

KI.UTTZ SPEAKS FOR BILL. Kltntz made an effective speech In ad vocacy or his bill, saying leiegrapn companies were notoriously inefficient nnl thai there wns a necessity for cor recting evils which exist under the mls piun:ii!etnerit of these companies. He declared that Mr Thorn, of the Southern Railway, recognised the penalty statute a a necenslty for enforcing laws against while service corporation and make the alter perform their duties, Thorn hold ing that a penalty statute Is Just, which ran nl rr a public service corporations to do what If Is reasonable for them to per- (orm. Klutti sail the penalty in his hill would . obtain only where there should be negligence, and that where there was not negligence a company would not be liable. The bill was Intend ed simply to give the public a more effi cient service, and not to punish them for what they cannot reasonably do. I'hsrr, opposing- the bill, said he had reached the conclusion that the penalty business In North Carolina had been over done. He did not know of any act which would open up ths lnrger rush of legislation than this bill, which he be lieved would have a demoralizing effect If enacted as a law. He thought the bill unreasonable and declared It would be shocking for the Ieglslature to pass a bill giving a man something ror notn Ing.

"The next time waa In Pittsburg, after w were married. Ha told mg that the girl 'was dead. Ha said he had investigated th story and that It waa true; that afterwards the . girl married, but iter husband heard fne atory 6f her- connecion with Mr. White; that ha cast her off and that ha died in gerat poverty and dis grace.'' cVi "Did you ana Mr. Thaw often apeak of thee i-irliT'r "Yes; there was a constant conver sation. ,1 could not possibly tell you every place and every time wa dis cussed It X told him I could not do anything. Ha men said I could help him. I tried to get hi mind on other things and then he would aay I was trying to get out of It. He said Stan ford White ought to be in the pent- tenrlary; that ha got worse and worse all the time,. nd- something had - to bg done." Mrs. Thaw identified a letter from Tnaw to Anthony . Comstock. Mr. Delmas read the 'document It la Thaw described the studio in the Madison Square tower, and aald it was filled wlthh obscene pictures, and should be raided. He also de scribed the studios at 22 West Twen ty-fourth street, which he said waa "consecrated to debauchery," and waa used by "a gang of rich criminals." He described tne studio and said in it there were many indecent pic tures. In this building, the letter read, were the famous red velvet swing nnd the mirrored bed room. The letter continued that the place was "run by a gang of rich crimi nals," but was frequently visited by young' men who did not know Its character. The letter called attention to atill another house, saying: "You may al so abolish another place at 122 East Twenty-second street a Inouse used secretly by three or four of the same scoundrels. , "One more question and then I am through," remarked Mr. Delmaa. He turned to Mrs. Thaw: "Now you may take the witness." said Mr. Delmas to the district at torney. The district attorney seemed reluc tant to begin the cross-examination of Mrs. Thaw to-day, dealrlng to have the matter postponed until Thursday morning In order that he might de termine whether or not a further ex amination of the witness was neces sary on the Issues Involved In the case. 'After I have looked further inlo the matter I may decide to croaa-ex-amlne Mrs. Thaw," Mr. Jerome stat ed to the court, "Or I may waive my ngni. wnen an tne testimony aa to the Insanity of this defendant la In I shall be honestly of the opinion that ne was insane at the time thia act was committed, I do not propose to take up the time of this court and this Jury in contending ." Mr. Delmas here Interrupted Mr. Jerome. He wanted to know if the district attorney meant that If he was honestly convinced that Thaw wan In sane when he shot Stanford White he would abandon (the prosecution. "I promise nothing," retorted the prosecution. . HINTS BROKEN CONFIDENCES.. A wordy conflict ensued during which Mr. Jerome hinted at broken confidences and evasion of stipula tions. He declared he did not wish to humiliate the witness with a cross examination which he might deem necessary. "However, if I am forced to do it I will," said Mr Jerome with some thing of a menace in his tone. "You may proceed," replied Mr. Delmas. Mrs. Thaw moved a bit nervously in me witness cnair, ana awaited Mr Jerome's opening questions. They had to ao witn her signatures to certain papers, some of which the prosecutor declared wi receipts for money Mrs. Thaw had n from the Mercantile Trust Comi y, In 1902 125 a week. Mr. Delmas protested against the dis trict attorney making these statements and noted an exception. Mrs. Thaw said she was not sure that all of the signatures were her own they look ed very mucli like her writing, she added. Who provided the money for the girl at the Mercantile Trust Com pany was not developed. Mis. Thaw'a confluence grew as the cross-examination went on and she waa alwaya ready with answers. Mr. Jerome Jumped from point to point In her story and under the plea of test ing her credibility was allowed to aak many pertinent questions. He wanted to know when ahe first heard that ahe had been named as a co-respondent In the Ueorge Lederer divorce case. Mr. Delmas Jumped to his feet with a protest. Mrs. Thaw called him over to where ahe eat whispered something In his ear and the attorney withdrew his objection. "1 rend of It la the newspapers," snld the witness cheerily, when Mr. Jerome repeated the question. COURT 8U8TA1N8 DELMAA Tha prosecutor sought to show that Mrs Thaw had gone to Abraham Hummel for advice with regard to the divorce proceedings, but wa halt halted by a objection from Mr. Del mas, which the court sustaned. Justice Fltxgerald said th question had noth ing to do with Mr. Thaw's story to her husband and did not affect her credibility. Mr. Jermne brought out that Mrs. Thaw had written to Stanford White from Houlogne after Thaw hnd pro posed to her la Paris. "Did you also cable Mr Whiter ne asked. The wit ness could not remember. The cross-examination had barely gotten into run swing when th ad Journment for the day waa ordered. Mra Thaw will rssum the stand to morrow morning and the Indications are that she may be kept there throughout the day, The reluctance of the district attor torney to subject Mrs. Thaw to a cross-examination again lent color to the rumora that Mr. Jerome stilt con templates moving for the appoint ment of a commission In lunacy to test Thaw'a state of mind at the pres ent time. Now that he has entered upon, the cross-examination he see mi determin ed to make it a thorough one. There were evidences during the afternoon session of Ill-feeling exlatlng between Mr. Jerome and Mr. Delmaa, The lat ter Intends to protect Mrs. Thaw In every possible way. He moved from his accustomed place at Thaw'a coun sel table to a chair within th rail where i the district attorney sits and directly In front of Justice fltiger- aid. " - Mr.- Jerome Informed the Callfor nlan that It waa not courtesy in New Tork -to Interrupt an attorney when he wta stating an objection.

Mrs. Thaw's cross-examination pro mises a fluid between the two attorneys as well as between Mr. Jerome and the wife of the defendant. Thaw seemed In a very cheerful frame of mind during the afternoon, especially when Mr Del mas was Insisting that tho cross-exami-nation of his wire ahould proceed. , The young man grew more sober-favced after Mr. Jerome had begun to ply his ques tions in a way that Indicated a relentless search Into Mra. Thaw'a oaat life. Mr. Jerome did not even forget the incident of the cat and th conductor who want ed to put it off the train. Mra. Thaw had testified that she had told her husbad of this Incident In her early life. Mr. Jerome also remembered that Mrs. Thaw had told of eatlnar chocolate sola ires at ner nrst dinner witn Mtanrora wnue. "It wasn't dinner.", pouted th witness, "It was upper."..,..j;:,.-...,.?-,.':''i'' In comnletlna- har direct testimony Mrs. Thaw had told of the conversations she and her husband had had regarding the fat -of other young women at tho hands of Stanford White.

New York Correspondence Philadel phia Ledger. General Passenger Agent Wallace, of the Drle Railroad, bellevqs ne has discovered In a mlslonary to China the tendereat conscience on record. A Bhort time ago he receiv ed the following letter: "While a theological student I had a half fare book In the Central Pas- senger Association, and ahortly be- fore leaving as a missionary lor China I made a puroly business trip over the road and used my usual clergy rate. Looking at It one way It was all right; looking at it in an other light It waa not, and so I want this ticket to be a reminder for the future. When a man Is preaching the Gospel to the Chinese he does not want anything In his past that ought to be cleaned up. They have a tendency to elastlo consciences themselves, and a man does not -want knowingly to leave unchanged a past wrong that would cause him to be ashamed when he meets Christ. Looking forward to the coming of the ticket. Yours truly." The letter waa accompanied by $5 In postage stamps, and Mr. Wallace promptly posted to China the ticket from Meadvllle to Pittsburg and re turn. Happenings at Kcrnctssllle, Special to Ths Observer.

The world wants Joy, comfort, sunshine, and will cling to the man who has it, who radiates gladness and triumph wherever he is and under all circumstances. Some people have a genius for seeking out the disagreeable, the crooked, the bad and the ugly. These are the destroyers; they travel in schools, they herd together, for they love their kind, and the cheerful part of the world will hay nothing to do with them. And why is it that so many peddle disaster, knowing at the same time that If they do, their lives will be ruined? Some people cannot help It, for pessimism usually comes from bodily disorders, and this cannot al ways be prevented. The stomach, for Instance, Is the most common cause of discontent, sour face, reck lessness, disgust and lack of am bition. A bad stomach there Is the secret of many a failure. Any one can have a good stomach, a strong stomach, a stomach that can take care of anything and everythlg that is put into it, no matter whether it Is a very bad stomach now or not The nwhy not have It?
