The boiler room of the Wilson Lumber and Milling Co. caught fire by the blowing out of a plug in the boiler. Fire was blown by the escaping steam directly into the shaving room adjoining the boiler house and immediately the structure was a mass of flames.

Had the shop been located at any less fav orable part of the town, it most certainly would ha ve gone up in smoke, but the united water sup ply of the company, together with that of the Harper Furni ture Co., (the best in town), the hand fire engine and a voluntary bucket brigade simply deluged the buildings. Everybody worked with an energy and de termination that was remarkable to witness.

The gentlemen who have taken stock in the new bank held their third meeting in the Wrenn build ing Monday evening and decided to call their institution "The Merchants' and Farmers' Bank of Marion." Mr. Thos. F. Wrenn was elected president and Mr. E. L. Gaston secretaiy. The store room recently occupied by Mr. W. McD. Burgin will be. suitably arranged for the business, and it is expected to open tne nans about the first of next month. A bold and daring burglary was committed iu the old Flem ing Hotel Monday night, and an" attempt at murder. When Mr. John S. Hopper went to his room about 8 o'clock and struck a match the secreted thief made an effort to cut his throat. Two licks were made at Mr. Hopper's jthroat and the blade used by the Would-be assassin split the collar in twain but fortunately did not reach the flesh. The collar was of the high, tough and thick fashionable kind and no doubt saved Mr. Hopper s life. Ihe burglar had rifled Hopper's trnnk procuring a $20 gold coin, and it is supposed he attempted to murder him to avoid detection. He made his escape and there is no clue as to his identity. Mr. Hopper came to Marion from Kernersville about four years ago and has Deen constantly em ployed as clerk in the hotel. He is a quiet, pleasant, courteous young man and says he hasn't an enemy on earth that he knows of. LINCOLN. March Marriages A Death at Crouse - Off for Dallas, Texas. Lincolnton Journal. April 18th.

The little two-year-old child of Mr. Clan Blanton, of Camp Call, was burned to death one day last week. The child's clothing caught fire, it ran out in the air and was so seveiely burned, be fore help could reach it, that it died from the effecth of the burns. Mr. Samuel Foston, who has been quite sick at his home near Shelby, is getting quite old and very feeble. He is one of the largest land owners and wealth iest citizens of the county. He has made all of his children and grand children a present of $100 in gold ench, and given away good plantations to his two sons and also to seyeral of his grand children. He probably had more gold money than any man in this section. Mrs. P. H. Seism, a good woman and true Christian, died suddenly Saturday night at her home near Hull's X Roads in Lincoln county.

Last Sunday morning Mr. Wil liam Patterson, an industrious farmer of this conntv, died at his home in Shelby from the effects of a mad dog bite on his lips, mention of which was made in a recent issue. ThemadBtone was applied, but it is thought that some of the blood or foam was swallowed and the poison was lodged in the stomach. Mr. Pat terson was affected for several days before his death and had queer spells, but they were not the usual fits accompanying hy drophobia, and hecould bequiet- ed quite easy, and did not seem to" be viciously inclined.

English Tobacco Trust at Ealeigh Revision of the Patent and Trade-Mark Laws Various Matters of Interest. Correspondence of The News-Herald. Kaleigb, N, C, April 21. The much heralded "State Convention'' of "Independent" negroes which was to have beu pulled off in sucli great shape last week (ac cording to numerous announce merits) was a howling farce and has lett hardly a memory beblud it. Sorne seventeeu darkies outside of ltaleigh aud a small gathering of Kaleigh colored politicians out of jobs constituted the "couveu tiou'' of the office hungry crowd. Somebody read a speech deuounc ing Senator Pritcbard for appoint ing in the places of objectionable postmasters and others in the East men more acceptable to the putdic in tbecommunities iu vol veil, and pretty much all of those pies ent "seconded the motion.'' And yet the vote of ayes constituted a mere handful. So the negroes did not ''come over to the Democratic patty" on this occasion, aud those who are supposed to kuow say that Senator rntchard is strong with the better class of negro party leaders. The poll tax question is creating agieatdeal ot interest just now among the politician, profession al and otherwise. There are less than ten days in which to pay this tax; as required by the new elec tion law, and yet probably lews than one-halfthe voters in mauy counties have complied with the law in this respect. The new from Guilford county, for instance, is to the t ffVst that at the end of last week some 3,000 voters, whit and black, bad not paid their "poll tax. This sort of thing is preva leut all over North Carolina, and one hears on all bauds inquiries and expressions of doubt as to whether the constitutional amend ment is as good a thing as we Democrats expected it to be at the time of its adoption. It is a rare thing to Gud cither Democrats or Eepublicans nowa days discussing the passing of the Supreme Court on the co.stitntion ality of the Amendment. The liepublicaus seem to be making no effort to get up "a case agieed'' for the Supreme Court to pass upor In fact, I have heard politicians of both parties say they were entire ly satisfied "if the othr fellow" was. That makes the poll tax situa tion even more troublesome than before, and in some instances the prepayment of the tax by office holders and candidates lor office seems to oe the only way out ot the difficulty. It is a bitter pill lor the politicians geuerally to take, but from general appearances take it they must. The $50,000,000 capital Imperial Tobacco Company of England, has formally entered this State and will compete with the American Tobacco Companv. It will have buyers at each market. A license tax of 1,000, State and couuty, was paid here, and the entry of the company officers made. The American is making things lively iu England, and iu fact, Europe geuerally, and uow the Imperial proposes to make things 1 vely ou this side of the water lor its "American cousin.'' Senator Pritcbard, Chairman of the Committee on Patents, has in troduced a bill prepared by tbe commission appoiuted by Presi dent McKinley to revise tbe patent and trade mark laws of tbe United States, and also a bill presented by the minority of the commission. The commission's bill covers tbe whole field of trade marks used iu commerce-iu the territory ol tue United States aud the interstate and foreign commerce. It con tains provisions for registration of all marks eenerally known as trade marks and a penal clause for tbe Dunisbment of infringers u addition to the usual civil rem edies.

Mr. Cbas. M. Bower, of. Morgan ton, Burke county, N. C, accord ing to bis own statement, narrow ly escaped losing the evidence of his nnd through what be claims was au attempt to rob him. . Mr. Bower arrived at Camden Station on a late train Sunday night. Yesterday, shortly before continuing bis journey north, he said: "Upon reaching tbe station I inquired of sevetal persous stand lug about the station steps for a good hotel. I was directed to oue aud was about to cross tbe street, when I felt tbe band of a man in my pocket. With a quick motion I uabbed an arm and, turning found a rough-looking man beside me. Ue jerked away and ran. Shortly afterward I saw a police man and decribed the man to him." Later in the night Patrolman Mum ford arrested a man, who said he was Augnsta C. Eppler, 44 years old. At a bearing before Justice Poe, at tbe Western Sta tion, be was dismissed as there was no evidence against him ex cept the alleged fact that he an swered Mr. Bower's description in a general way. Mr. Bower said he was sl gold prospector and bad been for sev eral years bunting gold iu Burke couuty.

Locke Craig. Asheville Citizen. . In choosing a Seuator to succeed Mr. Pritcbard, it is the duty of the Democratic party to consider first the welfare of the State, and in tbe second place tbe good of the Democracy. All the gentlemen iu the race for the scnatorship are men of char acter and standing, but after a calm and careful consideration of tbe subject in all its phases we are firmly of the opinion that tbe Hon. Locke Craig is tbe mau whom the Demooratic party will and ought to make our next Senator. While Mr. Craig is a young man, comparatively speakiug, he is old in political experience. For many years he has been one of the most prominent andactiveliguies in state politics, and has proved himself a hard fighter and safe leader in our political battles. He is 41 years old, just entering the prime of manhood. Ever since his gradua tion at the University of North Carolina in 1880, he has been a diligent ana thorough student of social and political questions. As au orator he has no superior'ia the State. He is not a mere "word compeller" or au ornate declaimer; his sentences are always hot with argument. He cau move men strongly and stir them deeply. Though possessing natural gifts of a high order, he has by a life of study equipped himself for the highest duties of state, and is to day one of the most accomplished literary meu in public life in North Carolina.- Wa need a man ol his eloquence aud with all tbe strength aud en thusiasm of his will to do battle against the- infamous force bills and partisan legislation so ofteu aimed at the political and com mercial welfare of tbe South. Mr. Craig is essentially a just man broadmiuded, conscientious, courageous; a man whom the peo- p e can aud do trust with implicit confidence, nud by whom the in terests of all t las.ses corporate and individual, rich aud poor, labor and capital, farmer and manufacturer would be protected and lostered to tbe full extent of his power. His past course is a guarantee of his devotion, to the welfare of the whole State, and to all her inter ests and industries. No man in North Caroliua has reudered more efficient servi.es to bis party than has Locke Craig. His time and taleut have been de voted to tbe party. No sacrifice bus been too great for him to make; no labor too hard for him to do. In 1894 and 18'JG when many were discouraged bis efforts never ceased and bis faith never faltered. And in the revolution which re sulted iu tbe redemption of the State aud its adoptiou of the amendment, Mr. Ctaig was one of the leading spirits. From tbe day when be and Governor Aycock opened the campaign of 1S9S, in the conutyot llichmond, until the complete triumph of 1900, he was a power for the Democratic cause, and was among tbe very foremost. wherever the fight was fiercest. In this campaign his party de manded that he lead the legisla tive ticket in Buncombe county. The Democrats believed that he was the only man that could over come the liepublicau candidate and tbe Republican majority. Their confidence was not mis placed. Again in 1900, while can vassing in the east for the amend ment his party unanimously de manded that be again lead the tight in Buncombe, feeling that no one else could meet the at tack which the liepublicans f were preparing to make in the county. Alter one of tbe fiercest cam paigns ever waged, in the State and iu which he was more than once threatened with personal vio lence by tbe enraged crowds, Mr. Craig wa again elected, aud by an increased majority. lie bore the brunt of the battle in this section for the amendment; be had the courage aud ability to stand. And it is for these quali ties that her people so greatly love and so fully tru.-t him. Senator Vance nsed to sav in tbe closing days of his life that the longer he lived the stronger became bis conviction that cow ardice of one sort or another was the very tap root of-all evil, and' that courage was the highest qual ity of a man or a politician.

DhWitt & Co., Qbk CO., HEW YCK. ideal leader of an nnterrificd Democracy, for political courage is a courage that his dearest foe will not deny him. Mr. Craig has ever been singu larly straightforward in his politi cal as iu his private career. His record is clear cut. He has none of the political streugtb of meu who have antagonized no one, aud are therefore without convictions. Whatever strength he has is of tbe positive and not the negative softV He has never dodged . or been afraid to take his stand on one side or the other of public ones- tions, and then to fight for his pos ition with all his strength. This great quality of political courage has endeared him to the fighting Democracy of the State. Other oen that have rendered like services to tbe party have been substantially recognized; Mr. Craig has not. The people have always been for him, but they had not the opportunity. For him have been tbe beat and battle of the conflict, but not the honors and rewards. But we, who are his fneuds, who have kuown his hard services aud party devotion, hope and believe that, like a soldier iu the army of Napoleon, he has car ried the field marshal's baton iu his kuapsack and will now have the fortune to be publicly breveted for the gallant services in the face of the enemy. The election of the lion. Locke Craig for the United States Son ate would mean the success of real, genuine Democracy.
