But their fondest hopes were not realised, as their plans were interferred with by Policeman Shoaf Potest, of the Salisbury force,, the fattier ot the young woman, . wbe bad learned ot their plans. He appeared at the station just as the train bad pulled out and succeeded in having the train atopped about a block from the depot. when he boarded the car in which the runaways were and took his daughter fat charge and escorted . her home. ' -: The young ' man had a . shot ' gun' ' which be claimed be was taking to Charlotte to re turn to its owner.

'.The coming ot this election bring to mind the memorable contest of six years ago between Carr, Watson, Craig and Overman ,,for the senatorial toga, when It seemed at time that Salisbury's distinguished and honor ed citizen would go down in defeat; sod wbea his townspeople took undivided in terest in his candidacy and went to Ral eigh In great numbers in bis behalf, and telfgrams of encouragement were sent to Mr. Overman, none ot which gave him more encouragement or cheer in the close bourse of . the battle than the one from Mrs. Overman, which simply read Trust la God and keep your powder dry." It will be remembered that Mr. Overman was given a great ovation on his return to Salisbury. Probably the highest prized souvenir in the Overman borne I the gold pen with which Gov. Charles B. Aycock signed Mr. Overman's commission aa ' Senator ' from North Carolina, and which the Governor pre sented to him immediately afterward.
