CHARLOTTE DAILY OBSERVER, SEPTEMBER. 22, 1908. y tveiy Day in tne Year TCE8DAV, SEPTEMBER X 108. -THE ACTOR IX THE RECENT CA , : TAWBA TRAGEDY. The Times-Herald, of Littleton, ' Warren county, after reciting the fact ' Of the slaying of a young girl. Miss Bulllnger, by Ixinnie W. Rader in the Methodist ehurch at Startown, Cataw ba. county, last Sunday week, com ments as follows: "The young man and the girl were old sweethearts, and he was once In the asylum over the same girl. Of course - nothing will be done with him, and he will run free on the plea of Insanity. It -seems there Is a gross amount of negli gence. If he Is really demented the au thorities are to be blamed for ever let ting him out of the asylum. If he is not - demented, he should be dealt with as a ' murderer. There are too many, especial lv in cases exactly like this one. who scape the law through a pretended lack of proper sense. A young woman Is klll ' ad, and all that is necessary Is to say that the one who did It was erased , through infatuation tor her." The Chester, 8. C, Reporter last week submitted a similar criticism ' upon the same case. Our contem poraries will change their view upon acquaintance with the facts in the matter. Young Rader was admitted to the State Hospital at Morganton on the 31st of last January and was paroled on the 17th of the following month. While there he did not give any particular trouble although he was dominated by delusions of a re ligious character and was a very in sane man. It is not doubted that at that time he had a homlrldal ton dency but he concealed from the WHY DE3IOCRATS SHOULD VOTE i ;u' DEMOCRATIC. : - . Senator Daniel made a speech to the . Demcoratlq club- of , Richmond last, Thursday night and Th News Leader says it was a, heart: to-heart talk. To quota that 'contemporary "He stated frankly that he had opposed vigorously some of Mr. Bryan's policies and methods and that he naa not. lavoreo the nomination of Mr. Bryan for Presi dent. Probably two-thirds of the men, to whom ha spoke had the same experience. Kven at this meeting; the enthusiasm for Mr. Bryan himself seemed to M in spots. Senator Daniel arcued. however, that In Dolitics we cannot have everything ex actly as we would like it. When we have to choose Anally between two men and two parties It Is our duty to give our votes and our Influence for the least ob jectionable of the two, the one likely to do the least harm and the most likely to do good and to promote the welfare and happiness of the people. In this elec tion the weight of the argument being with Mr. Bryan and the Democrats and against Mr. Taft and the Republicans, the country reouirina a change of ad ministration for the correction of wrongs A BROTHER XX THE DUMPS. . The - following .announcement ap peared in the- last Issue of :our Hen derson contemporary. The Gold Leaf: "We offer this paper, ' outfit and good will everything and appurtenances there to belonging for sale. Reasons therefor abundant and satisfactory to ourself. "Ws have enough not ol this world' goods, but of experience after twenty' six years of continuous service. We are simply tired of ths ceaseless grind and work and worry that distracts if tt does not kill. Life Is too short and tha cams is not worth tha candle to us, "We want to ault to save ourself from being driven to drink and desneratlon or forced Into an untimely grave or the lunatic nsylum either of which would be preferable to contending with unreliable and incompetent help and perverse d fools. "A bargain may be had by somebody who wants to engage In the newspaper Duxiness in a good town. " This la a wall. It does not sound in the least as If It came from the columns of our sunny-tempered con temporary, which is always an opt! Tales gf the Jown and ths Times BY BED BUCK and the stimulation of progress, and the mist and never a quitter. What alls Democratic party principles being clean er, better and safer tnan tnoss 01 tne rte publican party, he urged not only unanimous voting but active work for the Democratic nominee." That was talk by a sensible man to sensible men. Thoee who were op posed to the nomination of Mr. Bryan, who slop over about him now and try to out-Hefod the original Herods, do not fool themselves or anybody else but only make themselves ridiculous. The simple questions of this campaign are whether you prefer Mr. Bryan or Mr. Taft; the Democratic party or the Republican, and the excessive zeal of new recruits Is unseemly, oenaiur Daniel thinks, as a matter of calm Judgment, that Eryan and Democracy are to be preferred and so do we. That Bryan is objected to for one reason and Taft regarded more favor ably for another are not the confeder ations, but which of the two, taking them bye and large, as Senator Allison used to say. and weighing tncir piai- physlcians at lea! the d. lusk.n which , f( rms aUng wUh the mpn tlhouii ,c Impelled him to his recent Iranic 't He had not been at the llwpttal more than a week before his father and other members of the family began to take steps to set him out. Tiny went to see Supermlcn If nt M'arnp bell and wrote not only to him but to such citizens of Catawba county as they thought would have influence with the Hospital authorities, begging that the patient be allowed to be taken home for the reason that he was worrying so mu.h because he was away and for fear that his moth er, because of anxiety on hi account, would lose her mind. Superintendent McCampbell impr-Hed upon his father and friends who were exerting themselves to get him out of the Hos pital that young Rader whs very in sane and shuiM not be discharged and that If he were taken the Hospital would not be responsible for him, even during the usual probation period, and that ho would be dis charged at the lirst meeting of the executive committee of the board of directors after he w nt home, ho that his family should have the entire responsibility. The father was simi larly Informed by Mr. A. A. Khuford. ( of Hickory, a member of the execu- j tlvs committee, which Is the recelv- 'Ing and discharging body or tne board, who made It char that if the 'patient were taken his family woi I have to care for him as he would be immediately discharged and would not be re-ailmitted. the responsibility of the Institution being at n end. The persistency of the family contin ued and the patient was given over to them and at the me ting of the execu tive committee on March r.th was ills charged fts Improved The public knows what followed. No fair-minded person or paper will maintain that under this state of facts the Hospital Huthorltles are In any wise to blame for the tragedy of the 13th Inst., and argument by way of acquittal of them would seem to be superfluous. elected. It sems to us that lOOKect at in thi.s light, and considering the In nuencs around each, a Democrat should find no difficulty in deciding to vote for Hryan. The News Leader believes that the attitude of Senator DanlH Is that of the Urge majority of the voters of Richmond; that "they Intend to vote for Hryan as h matter of common sense, public policy and duty." It says the Taft sentiment and vote In Richmond se.-m to dwindle daily; a month uk it thought Taft's white vote there would amount to 1.000 or l.'-'OO; now It thinks between r.fift and nn is nearer the right figure. This Is a pleasing report. The morning of the night of Senator Daniel's speech the letter of Hon Richard Olrn-y to The New York World appeared.

Lum Garrison is an observant dti sen. . Although unlettered he man of sense and cleverness. TalL angular, well-knit and' muscular Is his body, and keen, energetic, and sound his mind. He has the finest sort of sense of humor. No man In Morgan ton, whether of high or low degree, escapee If he gets on his trail "This world is filled with two sorts of people," observed Lum, "sagers' and "millionaires." Charles Lamb, In one of his charming essays, declared that the world was peopled with borrowers' and "lenders" but Lum says "sagers" and "millionaires, Lum has not said positively where he belonged, but judging from a re mark to a fellow drayman, who asked him for his daughter, one would n fer that he counts himself among the millionaires. DID NDT WANT A SAOER. Tes, young fellow, you may have my daughter, as she has made up her mind to have you, but J do not like o take a eager in the family," was his answer. 'How is politics?" asked Lum of me. "All right," said I, "what do you think of the situation?" "This man Taft, I think, will be elected," declared Lam. "I did not think that he could beat Bryan until Jovernor Kitchln spoke here the oth er day, but I know from what the Governer said wc are gone." What did Mr. Kitchln say to dis courage you? why, he said that all of the million aires were for Taft. es, that is ex actly what he said, and if that's so. nd he tells the truth, Bryan Is gone. I have found that the vote goes with the millionaires, not the sagers." "Have you ever traveled much?" I nqulred. Some. I have been across the ridge and made several trips south trading horses." "You are a horse trader?" "Sorter. 1 do that whenever I see a feller spllin' for a trade. I was telling Bob Roper the other day of a trade that I made with Henry Brink- ley, of Glen Alpine, about twenty year ago. Bob had Just skinned Lenoir Hear In a trade and I was laughing at him about it. "Martin Snipe and Henry Brlnklev ran Independent for Sheriff of Burke back yonder In the eighties. Snipe had this here dance what is it you call it when a man goes Up and down like he was playing the peeany?" "St. Vitus?" That's It. Well. Snipe had that. One day, when all hands were speak ing and the crowd listening. Henrv Brlnkley 'lowed that the high sheriff of Hurke would spend the night of the 2 4tli of that November at Mollle Brlnkley s home that being his wife. Of course he meant that he would be the man. When it came time for Martin Snipe to exhort he said that If the high sheriff of Burke stayed at Mollle Brlnkley's home It would be "Mnrtin Snipe.' "That was about the time I met Henry Brinkley. OnR night me and Tom Hicks went to Glen Alpine to a frotie. i had Just traded with Debb Franklin for a little mare. As we were exchanging bridles and saddles I asked Debb If she could eat. He 'low ed that corn had been so high that he had been feeding on meal and mashed oats. MOLLIE HAD NO TEETH. " 'That's all right. Debb,' I said, 'but I expect her teeth are not the best." . "Debb had birrnt me. The mare, which we called Mollie. after Sheriff Brlnkley's wife, could not eat corn her grinders were gone.; But t never shjimwu wueo j. get iCll .'That day, on tha way to Glen Al pine, Mollle got stuck la Silver creek. She waa rather weak, not being able w eat strong tood, and I told Tom Hicks that I . would trad her for a gallon of good brandy. . But there was muca about, bar; aha knew how U behave when you were trying to swap ner. xou could take a broom atraw and rid her at a run. Yea sir, she'd lope all day In short heata "Well, sir, Henry Brlnkley. was not long In admiring my nag. He got siuc a on ner right on the go and bantered me for a swap, but J told him that l wasn't much anxious to let-her go, she was such a pert crit ter. Seeing that ' he would have to approach me quietly Henry ault talk ing about the mare and offered me ana Tom a drink of his home-made brandy, which was sal ta be about the best In Burke. I took one glass and It wasn't long before Henrv uruugui anoiner. "That's the day I got caurht -Dlav- ing the hypocrite. I saw that Henry warned to get me drunk so he could Skin me out of Mollis, and I made out like I was getting pretty tlrhL ana, to leu tne truth, without mean ing to, I got drunk. But I still had sense enough to trade horses.- Henry gave me his horse and SS to boot and1 promisod to treat all my friends. When the boys heard the trade they came up to get the treat and men mat i nad never seen before drank. Six glasses were poured out and then six more. THE MILLIONAIRE'S SON. The swap was made, but to make sure I got my nag. 'Possession.' the millionaire tells me, 'la two-thirds of the law.' So I got Brlnkley's horse and hitched him away back from the place so that ho could not find him, and turned the mare over. "Brink took Mollie in a stall and gave her 16 big ears of corn. I never seen such long ears some of them appeared to be. a foot and a half long. I slipped to the back -of the stable to see what she would do with such a feast set before her toothless mouth. When all the corn was In Motile commenced licking like you have seen horses do salt. I heard Brink say to himself: 'Lord, I'm ruin ed.' He called Lai Gerard, an old horse swapper, and told him what had happened. Lai asked him who he had traded with and Brink told him 'a Garrison.' 'Which Garrison?' asked Lai. That's Lum, Long Tom's son," said Lai, as he took hold of Mollie's Jaw and began to feel for teeth. "When Lai had finished his search he shook his head and said: 'She can eat manufactured corn (that Is mash ed corn) hut I don't believe she can go a year.' I knew light then that Lai were a good doctor. He hail ized Mollle up about as I had found her.' I PURSUED HIM TO RUE BACK. "The old man wanted to rue but I odged him. He followed me to hurch but when I got Inside I took seat among four weemln and told them to stay till church was out. During the service I saw Brink come to the door, put his hands on th; facing, and look all over the house for me. I 'Jouked' down hut It was no use, for he sp.l me and here , he come, loping down the aisle, and walked right in. and when the gals would not move he shoved in and come nigh to setting on one of them. He commenced on me about the nag I had traded him. He said that I had false reported her to him but I told him that all I said was that she need ed a little more to eat than she had been getting. That was so, but I didn't know how she was going to get It when she had no teeth. 'The preaching was going on and old Brink kept on at me until I hail to talk sharp to him. He threatened to writ me. I told him that if he didn't nult bothering me when 1 was listening- to the preacher I would! have him up for disturbing public worship. Then he ceasted. "The last thing I said was: "You do not understand Mollle, Mr. Brinkley, she's a dough eater!'

To the Editor of The Observer: The regular meeting of the Brushy Mountain Fruit Growers' Associa tion was held at the orchard of Mr. R. B. Lowe on the ISth Inst, and was one of the most enthusiastic and largest attended meetings since it sor gaivlzatkm. It being the regular meeting for the election of the annual officers, the following gentlemen were chosen: Clarence Call, president; Robt. B. Lowe, vice president; W. T. Rowland, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Call Is one of the most enthusiastic Interest ing and hard-working members, be ing also one of the largest fruit grow ers of this section. "Uncle" Bob Lowe is the oldest, yet as young as the youngest In enthusiasm, member of the association, wishing with all his noble heart for the success of the Brushy Mountain Fruit Growers' As sociation. Th meeting wss attended by Prof. W. N. Hunt and I. N. Smith, of the Agricultural Department. Prof. W. N. Hurt gave a practical demonstra tion of the way and manner In which a Doles should be packed for the market, a lesson much needed and thonsurhlv explained. We have the finest fruit In ch world and the one drawback for not obtaining tha high est prices in the past -has been the In ferior way in which It has been as sorted, handlfed and packed, but If tha lessons and enoVeavors of the associa tion are obeyed, it will -not long until this section will nak where it belongs alongside of Italy and Cali fornia, j ' ' Mr. Smith, of the Department of Agriculture, srave a very interesting talk in regard to tha care and culture of orchards, showing how easy It is to let a good orchard go to wreck on account of not iiavlng proper care. Mr. B. C. Price's talk on toe cul ture and tha cars of iioney was very Interesting, as was also the talk of the president. Mr. Call, on tho manufac ture of cider and vinegar. Mr. J. 8. Jennings. Who knows from experi ence and Is successful, gave to the association JU method of keeping ap ples for the very latest winter market At ths proper hour dinner was served at the hospitable Jiome of "Uncle Bobby Ixwe and after all had had yartaken of ths jnany rood things to eat, business was again n-sumed and many good speeches .and talks were made. - . - , It is wonderful to see ths good work ths association Is doing for the fruit growers of this section and all are taking greater interest In planting larger orchards of more Improved fruits than ever before, and it is a work in which the Agricultural De partment of the State should pay more attention than to any other branch of Its office. For, as we have said. It is the greatest fruit section and better adapted to the growth of ap ples than any other section of God's green earth. The secretary and. treasurer, Mr. W. T. Rowland, of Taylorsvllle, 6r the president, Mr. C. Call, of WUkesboro. will be glad to correspond with any one who has anything of interest or for the welfare of the association. The next meeting of tho assocla tlon will be "held at ths same place in the early spring of next year, and all who are Interested in fruit culture are invited and requested to atiena. A MEMBER.
