Mr. McWhorter Is a most vigorous and interesting preacher, and the services are being largely attended. Senator Tillman spoke in the Grand Theatre Monday night to a large au dience. His lecture was the last In the series given by the Henderson Lyceum Association. The spacious auditorium was filled by the people of the town, and the numerous country folk who were drawn by the Senator's person al notoriety and his reputation as a speaker on popular questions. It would not be a mistake, doubtless, to say that tho event was something of a disappointment. Tho subject, "A Plea for the People," was rather mis leading, as the address was a discus sion In Tillman's characteristic man ner of trusts, monopolies and their ilk. As a political stump ?speech, it was an able, vigorous and convincing argument, but as an address under such auspices and to such an audience It was hardly appropriate; nor Indeed was It up to the mark as the effort of a I'nlted States Senator on the lec ture platform. Those who wanted to see and hear Tillmen for themselves (rot their money's worth. But those who went In the expectation of having their ears tickled by the eloquence of a master of public speech, or who an ticipated an elaborate and orderly presentation of American principles. uch as Tillman, the Senator and etatsman and advocate of the people. Is rapnble of, were distinctly disap pointed. Nevertheless, they stood by the speaker, applauding his occasional cllmsxes and popular periods, and laughing at his Jokes when he deigned to he humorous. Senator Tillman was the guest of Mr. F. '. Toepleman while In town. and on Tuesday morning was given an Informnl reception at the Croatan Club, when a number of Indersen P"'Pie emoraceu me ojjjjui inimy i view the author of the ellspenxary system and the distinguished leader of the railroad fight In the I'nlted Htntns Senate at close range.

Aahevllle, March 17,-Dr. M. XI. Fletch-. er, of No, last Haywood street, met with a painful accident late yasturday after noon some six miles from Aahevllle, while speeding over the highway In hi automobile. At the time of the accident Dr. Fletcher was traveling; alona.x It seems that at some point on the nigh way a dog ran out in front of the ma chine. The action of the aforesaid ca nine was featured by swiftness. The physician had neither time nor oppor tunity to check the speed of the auto or turn it from its coure in order to avoid collision with , the animal. In conse quence one wheel of the machine struck the dog and almost Instantly " dam age resulted. The machine was turned violently and Dr. Fletcher was thrown to the ground, and In some manner be came entangled in the auto. His right arm was fractured between the wrist and the elbow. When the 120.000 worth of bonds for the building of Buncombe county's new horns and work house were sold here two years ago there were no few who took the position that a sale. more ad vantageous to the county could have been made. In short, that the county oornmlssfonere accepted ' the wrong bid. The (20,000 bonds -were 4H per cent., and the money ' derived went Into the county home. The amount derived, however, was not sufficient to complete the struc ture' and the commissioners were forced to secure several thousand dollars from cltsar sources. It is now thought pos sible that an attempt wll be made in the courts to demonstrate that the county did lose money by the sale and inci dentally, some Interesting information may be forthcoming. NEW TEMPLE OF JUSTICE. Present Building Totally Inadequate The Shelby Aurora la Admirably Managed by Mlsa Mayme Jones Mr. o. Max Gardner Appointed on Board of Trustees of A. and M. College. Special to The Observer. Shelby, March 17. There is being agl'ated a movement having for Its end the construction of a new court house for Shelby, and this Improve ment will be generally approved by the voters, as the present building Is totally Inadequate, not only for trials and Juries, but the cramped and small office rooms make the county officials embarrassed and hindered In their duties. The construction of a new courthouse Is something of vital Interest to every section of the eounty, and those who have discussed It seem rather strongly inclined towards a new building on the old site, which will add so much to the beauty and attractiveness of our already famous court square. The Shelby Aurora is being large ly managed and operated by Miss Mamye Jones, the daughter of our la mented Chief Shelton Jones, who was a victim to the notorious Jim Lowry. Miss Jones Is proving herself to be an accomplished and ver.svlle news gathcror, having complete charge of the paper In every department except the editorial columns, which i'.ifl still edited by Qulnn & Hamrlck. Miss Jones Is succeeding admirably In her new work and Is furnishing her read ers with attractive and Interesting newg. Mr. J. L. Leggett, of Rock Hill, S1. C, has been appointed agent of the Southern Railway here, succeeding Mr K. L. Warth. Mr. O. Max Gardner has been ap pointed by the Governor on the new Board of Trustees for A. and M. Cd lege.

Keldsville, March 17. The charter granted the Rockingham & , Caswell Railroad by the recent session of the Legislature Is a most desirable one. It gives counties, townships and towns : the right to vote subscription! to the read. The State will furnish convicts to work on the road, the State bearing : all expense, and It to take etook In the road Jo the value et the work . done by the Convict force. This last feature of the act la worth towards construe : tlon of the road at least $80,000 each ! year that they are worked. By legisla1- ' tlve enactment, Leeksvllle township has already voted bonds for the new road and the other townships will vote on the question in the near fu ture. The road will' run from Spray to ! Roxboro, It Is believed, traversing the counties of Rockingham, Caswell and ; Person. : j The United States Senate adjourn ed by limitation without confirming the appointment of Mr. 3. R. Joyce as j postmaster at this place. It Is sold by Mr. Joyce's friends that the failure to confirm the Reldsvllle postmaster was not caused by the charges which had ! been filed against his confirmation, j The committee to whom his appoint ment was referred was unanimous In the vote to confirm him. In the hurry and oonfuslon growing out of the ad journment of Congress the matter was not reached. It so happens that when the 8enate went Into executive session that the Chairman who had this and similar matters in charge was not In the Senate chamber. A recess appoint ment has been made. It is claimed that the charges against Mr. Joyce are the same that were filed before his appointment as postmaster, and were thoroughly sifted by the Depart ment, with the result that the charges were found to be without foundation. The Rockingham Chapter Daugh ters of the - Confederacy is arranging to place aa order for a Confederate monument that will cost $2,500, and the members are now at work col lecting the amount recently subscribed for this purpose. The monument will be erected on one of the principal streets of Reldsvlllo, probably between the Cltisens Bank and tho United States government building. The citi zenship of Rockingham is in hearty co-operation with the daughters in perpetuating the memory of the coun ty's brave sons who served their coun try so gallantly in tho civil war. The trains of th 8outhern will, ar te r April 1, be required to run through the town at a speed not exceeding 6 miles an hour. This action has been made necossary by the refusal of the railroad company to accord to Relds vllle the same consideration which has been shown other towns of less lm-portance-when a petition was sent to the officials some tlmo ago asking that certain trains make regular stops here. The town authorities make no concealment of the fact that their ac tion wag taken In a spirit of retalia tion and Justify this action upon the ground that by declining to act in con formity with the reasonable request made by the citizens, certain Reids vllle enterprises have been suffering great inconvenience. There Is an epidemic of pneumonia In the cotton mill section and the town authorities have employed profession al nurse and 6 assistants to see that the more unfortunate ones have prop er care and nursing. The present council has made a fine record in looking after the sick and needy of the place. A number of young men of the place have Just organized a band. New Instruments have been ordered and the band will be In a position to do concert and other work within the next few days. It has been said that only a dead town will support a good band, but It Ih believed that Relds vllle will prove an exception to tins rule. Professor Osborne gave a dance at the Hippodrome one night this week, complimentary to Miss Eva Harris' guests Miss Luna Thompson, of Sal isbury, and Miss Resale' Qold, of Wil son. Music for the occasion was fur nished by a band Imported from Ger many. Miss Margaret Lee Young Friday ntgnt entertained the senior clans of the graded school and a few of her i. " .... ' rrlends at ,hp home of her father i Llndsey street In celebration of her 16th birthday. The town commissioners have called the municipal election to be held the first Tuesday In May. Tho present may or and hoard of commissioners will probably not have any opponltlon. Mr. W. J. Williams, of New Rethel, succeedg Mr. J. Y.

Th work of erecting the gallows for Tom. Harrt the condemned murderer, who is unaer sentence, to be hanged on the 29th Inat. goes on apace. The grue some v piece ' of mechanism " already rears its lofty head toward the skies In the rear of th Jail. Tour corres. pondent has Just been Informed that an organized movement is under way to have a commission In lucancy ap pointed to examine Harris with a View to have him pronounced Insane, witn. tne end in view of saving his life.-' Harris was tried and found guilty by a Jury. fter a fair and. Im partial trial of One ' of th most foul and awful crimes that ever -stained th annals of any. county in th State of South Carolina. He was , repre sented by able counsels, who did all tney couia to save him. and. after a thorough Investigation of all the facta, tney am not see at to make th point that he waa Insane.. ; , .- Qolnar back . to the nearfnn of th 'orlm. ; -: Harri in hi confession said: . 'When he con ceived the idea of robbing Mrs. Morgan he did -not for a moment contemplate killing her; but when he found that she recomlsed him. he knew he would have to kill her, as he wouia De caught unless ha killed her." Again, after he had confessed the crime to Rev. Mr. Smith and Of ficers white and Becknell, he said "that he felt as If a great load had been lifted from him." If Harris realised that he had 'Committed an awful crime (and he says he did), how can he be insane? Certainly he snows no signs or insanity now, and how could any lucancy commission say that he was insane last November at the time the crime was commit ted? The people who are worklna- In be half of Harris argue that if he had not been crazy, he would not have inquired of people where Mr. Mor gan lived. It Is a very significant fact in this connection that Harris aia not ask anyone whom he knew where she lived, but made this in- qulry of people who were strangers to him. In addition to this he says him self that he did not expect to kill ner, dui to get ner money and get way before he could be caught. Method and Insanity are as diame trically opposed aa the poles, and Harris should be made to suffer the extreme penalty for his awful crime.
