"There was great desire to lynch him, but he was protected and tried fairly by the county court, allowed couneel, but was convicted. He was hung November 11th, 1831.

C." , In writing home about the grand times the people of Oklahoma are having over , becoming cltlsens of a Teal State. Mr. Jerome Dowd, who la teaching at Norman, Oklahoma, said "Saturday, the lth. I went to Guthrie to witness the inaugura tion of the first Governor of the new State of. Oklahoma. Heretofore Oklahoma and Indian Territories have been separate political organi sations and the Governors and many other officers of the Territories have been appointed by the President of the United States and many of the laws have been made by the Con gress of the United -States at Wash ington, but by a proclamation of President Roosevelt, issued on the llth at 10 o'clock, the two Terri tories were united Into a State called Oklahoma, which now has the right to elect all of of its officials and govern itself, like North Carolina or any other State. As soon as the proclamation was read all the whistles of factories, railroads and mines gave loud blasts in celebration of the event. "At 12 o'clock Oklahoma and In dian Territory were united by a fictitious marriage ceremony. On a platform 4n front of the Carnegie Library the ceremony took place. A gentleman, representing Okla homa, arone, made love and proposed to Miss Indian Territory, and then another gentleman, representing Miss . Indian Territory, arose and made a speech accepting the offer of mar riage from Mr. Oklahoma. Then a preacher pronounced a benediction in the form of a prayer for the blessing of long life and prosperity to the united pair. An Indian girl was then Introduced to the audience as the bride. She made a graceful bow and received hearty applause from the crowd. Next a band com posed -of Cherokee Indians played The Star Spangled Banner.' The band belonged to the Cherokee In dian Orphan School. The members were very young, half of them being girls, who wore green Jackets and caps, braided with gold, like those of the boys. The uniforms of the girls differed from those of the boys In that they wore skirts, while the others wore trousers. The Cherokee Indians came originally from North Carolina. "After the Governor made his speech there was a grand street pa rade of soldiers, brass bands, far mers on horseback, and so forth, ending with a street sprinkler, which had painted on Its sides 'Have a drink.' this being a symbol of the abolition of liquor selling In the new State. The procession stopped in 'a large park, where a grand barbecue was in readiness for the hungry crowd. A long ditch, about four feet wide and throe feet deep, had been dug and covered over with wire netting. A fire was kindled in the ditch and beef, mutton and pig were cut up and laid on the wire to cook. Thirty whole cows and a num ber of sheep and lings were served. Everybody helped nlmself, some pulling off pieces of miat with their fingers, others using their pocket knives (I used mine) and the sol diers their sword and bayonets. It looked funny to see soldier moving about In the crowd with 1Ik liunki of meat on their weapons. The meat tated good. "Moving about in the crowd I met accidentally Mr. Harrimjii, an Indian boy who was In one of mv classes at Trinity College. He is' now a member of the legislature of the i new state. "At long as human nature remains as curious as It Is," . said a book reader yesterday, "any Impression which gets out to the effect that anything l out of the ordinary in any way will tend to create a desire ,. for It. A local newspaper published a criticism the other day of a recent novel, which It characterised as Im moral. Since then I have had half a dozen people ask about the book and express a determination to read It If it could be secured. A lady who had ju.st tinished it told me to-day that nhe saw nothing wrong In It at all. But the sale of the book had been accomplished. It Is probably profitable for some books which might otherwise never attract any attention to be thus criticised. This l the principle upon which Tom Dixon's press agents have operated with his plays, if the Opinion of many people Is correct, in going to cins where The Clans man' was to appear and Inciting ne groes and other to opposition In a way that would make the whole country watch developments and. In cidentally, take note of the play. Charlotte people will recall the ru mor which a mischievous newspaper ....... v, a. .cn an, vinr ... effect that the chief of polio would probably refuse to permit the presen tation of The Black Crook at the Academy of Music. The idea was a figment of his brain, but it packed tha house for the managers." 'That reminds me of ihe late Pat Winston, one of the most brilliant : jn"n North Carolina has produced In many years," said a guest at the Sel- wyn. last Bight. "He went from this. State to Baltimore, where he liv ed for several years, before aolne to .. Washington to make his permanent home. -Being young, ambitious and clever, anj unknown 1n the chief city oi juaryiana, ne worked a little trK-k en a mass meeting there one night The Republicans vrer having some eort of a jubilee and the boys were railing on tneir tavorites when a bright, sprightly fellow dashed about among the men on the outer Uae of tHe crowd and whispered , to them, aayingr "vvnen tnat renow nas con eluded his spfeech call on Winston- Pat Winston.' i The cry was taken up and I the entire audience seemed , to be casing for 'Wlnston-HPat Win ton.

He was a top-notcher when it came to- making a political speech "There is another interesting story concerning one of hla speeches. At ter he became well known in tha State of Washington he ran for At torney General an was elected. - In the hot campaign preceedlng his elec tion he made a brilliant answer that was heard around the world. Dur ing the days of the long-haired politicians,- it will : to recalled, that the Populists and the Republicans fused for mutual benefit. The rankest Populists were always talking about the unequal distribution ' of wealth, they wanted to eee every fellow have an equal number of dollar. The longer the hair a Populist wore the more he worried about the unequal distribution of wealth.- This did not trouble Colonel Pat Winston, and if it did, he was too smart to argue any such quesnon with a Populist when he was out hunting for Populist Votes. ' i: r -J. I:.--. ' C "Well, on this occasion tie was up speaking to about 10.000 people, making the welkin ring, 'talking Tiar- tonony, harmony, harmony 'when an old rube, with hair as long as the moss on the tree, t the swamps of Florida and whiskers that touched the waistband of his trousers, rose In the middle of the hall an J said: 'Give us more doctrine and not to much harmony! I want you to explain to us the cause for the unequal distribu tion of wealth; that is what we want.' 'Will the gentleman answer a question for me?' asked Colonel Winston, passing his ,right hand over his sleek, ball head. ', " 'Yes.' said the bewhlskered man In a sharp, 'quick Popullstlc voice. can you explain to me tne un equal distribution of hair?" "That was the shot that killed the fellow from Goose Creek. The storm of laughter that followed broke the force of his remarks and Colonel Winston was permitted to continue his speech in peace." CHARITY BAZAAR. Lady Friends of Presbyterian Hospi tal Planning Bazaar to Be Given In the Xew Auditorium December 12th and 13th A Worthy Cause Which Will Doubtless Be Well Supported. December 12th and 13th have been named as the dates for the charity bazaar for the -benefit of the Presby terian Hospital and everything Indi cates that the affair will be in every way most, successful and highly en joyable. At the last meeting the !! cusslon of the various enterprises was greeted with great enthusiasm on the part of the various committees. The opportunity which they will offer the publilc Is one which nobody can af ford under any circumstances to fall to seize. The benevolent cause which is being striven for should appeal greatly to public sympathy and the ladles In charge trust that all will In every way aid them in carrying the project through to a successful ter mination. To It they are giving a lare amount of time and energy. The Auditorium in which the ba zaar Is to be held Is owned by a stock romtianv. which haa ma. In the ladles as their donation a gift of th use or the hall free, save for actual expenses. The press will likewise do all In Its power to all the project. Although the Institution Is called the Presbyterian Hospital, the spirit of the work is non-denominational. Therefore, the charity patlent who applies for treatment Is as freely ac cepted If he be from on church as If he were from any other. To aid the suffering Is the one aim of the management and all connected with the Institution and since this Is so, since It Is the disabled of the whole city which they are trying to help, It behooves all Charlotte people who are responsive to the fsellng of gratitude, ns well as public snlrlfeJness, to ptit tielr shoulders behind the wheel. "And above all those things put on charity, which Is the bond of perfect ness." ALMOST KliECTBOCTTED.

Samuel Grlgg, a young carpenter, at work on the Van Ness apartment huuwe on North Poplar street, ac cidentally touched a live and highly volted wire yesterday morning and h tj a narrow escape' from death by electrocution. Even as It was he was unconscious for 20 minutes after the hand hal been forcibly detached from Its clutch on the wire and he was for quite a time In a precarious condition, Mr. Grlgg, who Is 26 years old, touched with hi hand a tiny hol In the wire's insulation, receiving the full fore of what la estimated to have been more than 2,000 volts of electricity. He fell backward to the roof of the porch with a scream which was heard by other employes who rushed to the rescue. Three of the man's fingers were tightly clasped about the wire and It, took a mighty wrench to disengage It. Had not the effort been successful, the car penter must hve died. Dr. E. C.

White; - Mr. Wm. T; Ellis, of The Phllarietnhia Press, and, the others, it will well be worth the while of the laymen of all the churchea In North Carolina" within a radius of 60 or 100 miles to come to this meeting In December beeinnlng next Sunday a week. The movement is not an outside enterprise. It simply seeks to deepen the spiritual -life and missionary In terest of the laymen of all churches. Mr, J. Campbell White,, who, by the way, is a member of the United Presbyterian Cfourcht or In other worda a Yankee Seceder, writes as followe to the local committee In Charlotte; "The most significant ' action ever taken by a great city with reference to Its missionary duty to the rest of tne world, was taken on November 9th, by the city of Toronto, The representatives of all the churches in Toronto voted unanimously to attempt to increase the total offerings of their churches to missionary purposes, from $141,000 last year to 1500,000 this year. "Toronto a population Is about 300,000. Her communicant church membership Is about 60,000. Her con tributions last year, through regular church channels were almost exactly one million dollars. In addition to this, a very large sum was expended by the Christian people of the city for hospitals, and other local benevolent Institutions. Of this one mlllloi dol lars contributed through regular church channels, only 1141,000 were contributed to missionary purposes Xtside of Toronto and of this amount, t over $40,000 was sent outside of Canada, to propagate the Gospel In the non-Chrlstlan world. Something like this same proportion is given to foreign missions by the entire Church of North America, viz: at letfat $26 to Religious 'and philanthropic work at home for every dollar we send abroad.' "The gathering which considered Toronto's world relationships was not a chance collection of Irresponsible men. They were all specially selected and Invited men. The Anglican Church was allowed twenty-five lay men, the Methodist, twenty-five; the Presbyterian, twenty-five; the Bap tist, fifteen, and the Congregatlon allst, ten, this representation being based on the size of their local church membership. The meeting was there fore composed of the most representa tive -Christian laymen of the city, to gether with perhapjs a dozen leading ministers. "The meeting was called by the Canadian members of the general committee of the laymen's missionary movement. Mr. N. W. Rowell presid ed and gave a brief history of this lat est and greatest religious movement of modern times. He was followed by Mr. J. Campbell White, general sec retary of the movement. The meeting then took up heartily the discussion of Toronto's religious responsibility to the Dominion and to the world. The first proposal was that the city should attempt to raise at least $300,000 for missionary purposes this year. As the discussion proceeded, the amount was Increased until $'i0O,000 was unan imously et as the least amount which the city should provide annually. When It la remembered that this is less than half the amount spent for similar purposes In Toronto Itself, the extreme reasonableness of giving such a, sum Is clearly apparent. But If the other cities of Christendom will follow the magnificent example of Toronto In recognizing their duty,to co-operate worthily In the effort to evan gelize the world, it will not be t,wenty flve years until the message of God's love has been Intelligently made known to every creature. "All the money to be raised Is to be paid through regular denominational channels, every man contributing to the enlargement of the work of his own Church. Yet in arousing the men of a city to do their duty in this mat ter. It is of the greatest advantage to have them all act together In a com mon, concerted effort, A very large and Influential committee of laymen is being organized In Toronto to take charge of this canvass. The purpose Is not only to get men to give much larger amounts than heretofore, but to organize such a thorough campaign of education and personal canvass that the number of subscribers to missionary work may be enormously Increased. "It will be remembered that the men of Tope it a, Kansas, aeciaea on October 10th. to Increase the annual foreign missionary offerings of the churches of that city from ,$7,000 to $25,000. et. Joseph, Ma, on Oct. 22d decided to Increase their offerings ti this object from $12,000 to $110,000. Al ready one congregation in St. Joseph has pledged itself to give $10,000 of this total amount The aggregate In crease decided upon toy thfcee six cities during the past two weeks, totals up to over hair a minion aouars. "All these , meeting of men have been charged with spiritual energy, Many nen have, declared that the meetings opened to them a new view M the real significance of life. The (spirit of the meetings and the policies determined upon, cannot Be explained apart; from the mighty working of tho fialrlt of God, Prayer has been an- wered in so signal a manner as to be almost startling. ; God has dme more than we asked or .thought. , To Him belongs E the f whole credit ! for ; the mighty work accomplished, ftpeclal prayer Is asked by 'the committees of laymen In all these cities "that they may be , wisely. guIUed and empowered in their work, TheToronto committee especially, If any distinction ran be made, needs constant buttressing toy prayer, they . have undertaken 'treatest forward ,movemen;j5l.Unsel! - ,ry .: ,v. i -. i . :-1 r : i t i....i; K::'--. : - vir.r a an.l 1 :h; AC u.l.i, veinU-r Z 'lh to December l-t: C'h ir lot te, N.
