C L. GATES The Papers and the Senatorial Candi dates. Charlotte Chronicle. Colonel Fairbrother, publisher of Everything, is inclined to knock the Senatorial candidates in an impartial way. He says that in time past Simmons did not treat him exactly right, but for all that, he is for Simmons' I re-election to the senate. He urges that Simmons' influence is a great asset and will become' greater the longer he remains in the senate an argument that is hard to get around. The Reids ville Review says that the con test in Rockingham county will be between Simmons and Kitch in, "though Ay cock has some following," and it "knows of some attorneys who are for Judge Clark." The Review itself comes out flat-footed for Kitchin and says Rockingham is strongly for him, though it admits "there is unmistakable evidence that Senator Simmons has a strong organizatjonat work" and "good workii Ndone to line up in fluenf Jorhim." In the FayerSk Ji server, Judge Clark htStne only outspoken champion we know of. Governor Kitchin H? uo reason to doubt the ennpjlf the Lexington Dis patch. Vire Wilmington Star has not yet signed up. Everybody knows how it will be with the Raleigh News and Observer. Aycock is a prime favorite with Charity and Children. Judge Clark can count on the Statesville Landmark to keep the letter from the mountain cove man about Tntei there rale rode fel lows" in circulation. The Fay etteville Index is not disposed to forget what Simmons accom plished for the improvement of the Cape Fear between Fayette ville and Wilmington. We have mislaid the copy of the Wilming' ton Dispatch containing its dec laration, but our impression is the DisDatch is for Kitchin. The High Point Enterprise has a dis tinguished opinion of Judge Clark, but it also thinks well of the other aspirants. The Greens boro Record prefers to have fun with all of them. The Hickory Democrat is one of the papers disposed to treat Simmons fairly. Coming to that the thought oc curs to us that we cannot recall a paper that has failed to do so. From this general sketch, it will be seen that comparatively few of the State papers have so far lined un. That is. few of them have expressed an open prei erence. There are indications, however, that soon the sparks will be flying. Things have al ready been said about Clark and Kitchin and Simmons thai have been scissored and pigeon-holed for future reference by the par tisans of each and when knock ing begins, it is going to be live ly. Ex-Governor Aycock will oc cupy a unique position. No cinaffc will hp shot his way. We - do not believe there is a sin gle paper in the State that will find the remotest occasion to as sail his record or his personal character. Lather V. Hart of the Bank of Tar boro Puts Bullet Through Head Shortage of $50,000 Assistant Cashier, E. B. Hussey, Under Ar restSuicide Followed Arrival of Exatricer. Tarboro Dispatch. 14th, Cashier Luther V. Hart, at tendant at his duties in the Bank of Tarboro this morning, is this afternoon a corpse from his own volition, having fired a pistol ball through his brain at 1:30. His assistant cashier, E. 8. Hussey, is under arrest as being implica ted in a shortage in excess of $30,000, discovered to-day, which will probably wreck this banking institution. Hart left his duties at the bank about 1 o'clock, going home to dinner, went up stairs and while his wife was preparing the noon meal a shot was heard. She fushed up stairs to find her husband in a dying condition, ly ing upon the bed with blood ooz ing from a bullet hole through his head. Facts incident to "the suicide were that State Bank Examiner J. K. Doughton made a call at the bank this morning, and fol lowing his usual custom was in specting the business of the bank when Hart left at the regular hour for dinner. Hart while on his way home met business ac quaintances and made a number of engagements to meet them in the afternoon. On his arrival at home no one noted anything un usual in his manner, and he was in his room supposedly preparing for dinner when the shot was heard. He died at four o'clock, never having regained consciousness. BIG DEAL AT HICKORY. 'WILD JOHN" IS NO MORE. The Brethren After Major Hemphill. Richmond Dispatch., 14th. Because of a storm of protests from Methodists all over Vir ginia, as a result of the editorial assault upon Rev. James Cannon, Jr.. temperance leader and at present engaged in developing a big church project at Waynes ville, N. C. Maj. J. C. Hemphil, editorial writer for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, has cancelled an engagement to deliver the com mencement address at Randolph Macon College, Ashland, Vir ginia, to-morrow. The invitation was extended by President Blackwell of the college two weeks ago, and as soon as the major's acceptance became known letters of protest began pouring in upon the col lege authorities. They declined to take any action, however, deeming such course discour teous. Hearing of the protests, Major Hemphill cancelled the engagement. ;:!.l-''a'ia'Vi'u ,1 i' hti uch a weak back ansed f Mi'l Kl lney Trouble tb&c nhe r( ne moment they i3 floor flhe Won'rl mrn m a.-j'jr, W1. an,j bai.py asean -bi'jjfi" tut LtiUeauiaiiu x or hkiifc k i.iu.u.i. ft SfB1K,K"T'8 CURE COMPANY j V- u lil Lake Strf t'.h SWANSON .

On last Thursday Messrs. Lawrence Wakefield and A. W. Dula had a misunderstanding House Works Senators Have Loafed Half Time. Washington Dispatch to Greensboro News. Since the special session of the Sixty-second Congress convened April 4, the House has worked nearly three times as many hours as the Senate. These figures show the disposition of the House to meet the issues of the day with remedial legislation and the of the Senate to avoid action. The 92 upper lords of Amen can legislation have put in nine and one-quarter eight-hour days of labor since the session began, In the same time the 392 mem bers cf the lower branch of Con gress have worked 31 J eight- hour days. Eieht hours is a day's work fixed bylaw on government jobs. Senators in the present Congress pay little or no attention to tneir own law in su iai j work is concerned, ine maxi mum Senate session is apout six hours and the House seldom sits longer. . TT , To be exact, me nouse aiiu Senate have been in session o torriolative riavs ending oaturuay. In that time the Senate has met on 27 days and Change in Owners of Piedmont Wagon Works, Involving More Than $400,-000-J. A. Martin and Northern Capitalists New Owners. Hickory Correspondence, 17th. Charlotte Obser ver. The biggest financial deal in the history of Hickory took place last evening when the Piedmont Wagon Works changed hands in a deal involving more than $400,000. The deal was engineered by Mr. J. A. Martin of this city and he and his asso ciates were the purchasers. Just who these associates are is un known at this writing, as their names are withheld from the public That they are Northern capitalists, however, is definitely known. It is said that the new owners desire no change whatever in the management of the plant, but Mr. C. H. Geitner, president and manager, and his associates have not yet decided what they will do in the matter and have given no definite answer. The great majority of the stock changed hands and Mr. Martin insisted every share should have the privilege of going at the same price and it is possible that every dollar of the $200,000 stock will be transferred to the new owners. Ihe stock is very val uable, the last sale being at 167. At the price this large plant has brought, it appears that the stock is now worth about 200. The majority of the stock is owned in Hickory, but outsiders own a good share, Charlotte be ing the place where most of the outside owners live. Mr. John M. Scott, the Heaths and others own good blocks. The turning loose of $200,000 among the business men of the town will probably mean the es tablishment of new enterprises in town. Hickory is now on a boom and to add a few more en terprises to what it now has will nave tne enect oi adding new impetus to the forward move ment Your correspondent learns that the new owners intend to double the capacity of the plant and to continue it where it is. The splendid timber available here makes this point one of ad vantage. The deal has been pending for some time and it has been reported that the Inter national Harvester Company was the prospective, and again that the Studebaker Wagon Company was the buyer, but your corres pondent learns that neither of these companies is in any way interested. This enterprise was established nearly thirty years ago by the late Mr. Bonniwell and later be came the property of the Messrs. Hall, who, however, lost control during the panic of 1893, when the present owners took charge During these years it has paid handsome dividends and has been the neucleus around which Hickory has grown. It now kas a capacity of 10,000 wagons an nually. Cont acts Pneumonia and Dies Her mit in Woods f r Forty Years. Gaffney, S. C, Dispatch, 13th. One of Cherokee county's greatest curiosities is no more. "Wild John" Starhes, other wise and better known as the "Wild Man of Cherokee," is dead. It became known several days ago that Starnes was sick and a party went in search of him, go ing down into the most secluded portion of the county where he lived and finding him. He was brought to the county home near here, suffering from pneumonia, and was kept there until Satur day night, when he died. SHOT STONEWALL JACKSON. "Wild John" has long been a curiosity. Many have gone into the forests in search of him, only to be disappointed, while there are some few who have seen and talked with him. He had been living the life of a her mit for something like forty years. It is stated that when a young man of some twenty years, Starnes, for some reason, became mentally unbalanced and took to the woods. He constructed a hovel of goods boxes, a very in adequate shelter, and there he has dwelt for the last forty years. Many conjectures have been indulged in as to what caused this strange action, but it is supposed that he was disap pointed in love and took this ac tion, although it has been rumored that Starnes was the man who accidently shot General Stonewall Jackson and that this unbalanced his mind. He was as shy as a deer; hard to get a sight of and harder yet to talk o. REFUSED GOOD HOMES.

Good homes have been offered him time and time again, but all to no avail; he has utterly shun ned society. When taken to the countv farm, it was much against his will and he caused no little trou ble while there. He would not stay in the bed and as soon as the attendant's back was turned he would leap out and huddle in a corner with' his hands clasped and head bowed. He pleaded with the superintendent of the home, with tears in his eyes, to let him out on the ground to die in peace. The house and its covering seemed to have affected him most deeply. Saturday night the end came and "Wild John" is no more. May Bay C. C. & O News and Observer. The Seaboard and C. & O. rail roads will shortly get control of the Clinchfield, says the Colum bia State. This means the ex tension of the road. The value of the Clinchfield road to the Chesapeake & Ohio and Seaboard Air Line is that it is by far the shortest route between the Ohio valley and the South Atlantic States. The road is only 243 miles long, and the largest town north of Spartanburg is John son City, Tenn., which has only about 10,000 people, but the Clinchfield has a strategic im portance and taps the rich Vir ginia coal fields.

A New York Methodist Church Selec ted the Ten Best Hymns That Have Been Written. Biblical Recorder. What are the ten best hymns? No universally approved list has yet been made out Individuals, churches and denominations have their preferences, and any given list, however excellent, would be subject to revision. Suggestive lists, however, are interesting. For instance a New York M. E. church, after balloting on the ten best hymns found the follow ing to be their choice: "Nearer My God, to Thee"; "Abide With Me"; "Jesus, Lover, of My Soul"; "I Love to Tell the Story"; "Lead Kindly Light"; "Rescue the Perishing"; "Rock of Ages"; "Onward Christian Soldiers"; "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." Four others were tied for the tenth place: "Love Divine, All Love Excell ing"; "JustAsIAm"; "Faith of Our Fathers Living Still," and "In the Cross of Christ I Glory."

Richmond Times-Dispatch. One Sunday in each year is devoted by the Presbyterian church of Brooklyn to a sermon about baseball. The services are held under the auspices of the New York League of Y. M. C. A. baseball teams. This year's sermon was preached by the Rev. Edward H. Young That St. Paul, if preaching in America this summer, would "undoubtedly be an enthusiastic tan and would attend all games," was the rather sensational state ment of the Rev. Mr. Young in the course of his preachment on the national game. He said: T..1 jl . .ram was an entnusiasiic sportsman. So close was his friendship with the presiding of ficers at the great games of Western Asia as to excite very active solicitude on their part in his behalf when Paul seemed in danger so recorded in the Book of Acts. He uses athletic tern- s frequently, speaking of him self as a runner and boxer and figur atively applying the term 'the great Umpire of the skies' to hie Master." Fully one-half of the adult pop ulation of the country each sum mer attends baseball The interest increases in the game more and more as the years go on, and while we think we know why so many people go to see the national game, the Rev. Mr. Young savs that w like baseball because it teaches discipline, team work, honor, fair play and the subjection of the lesser to the greater.
