Saturday, December 23, 1911. The Gazette-News wishes, for all its readers everywhere, a merry., merry Christmas and a happy New Year. It IS a time of Immeasurable happiness In the world. There is enough of the precious commodity to go around. There is some for the sufering, the distressed. It penetrates prison walls and is found in the hospital ward. There is a share for the lowly, the TiApdv. Th trim Ifiv of Christmas cannot be bought, it depends on no condition or state. There Is enough for all; and may everyone, high and low, rich and poor, throughout all the world, have his share of the blessed Christmas cheer! SYMPTOMS )P A NATIONAL OIS EASE. In a speech which President Taft. one of his hearers, described as "full of force, imagery and Poetry," Sena tor William E. Borah made one of the most notable analyses which has ap peared recently of a great problem with which the American people and government are grappling. Tongue lnshlng the McNamaras pitilessly for their awful disregard of rights guar anteed by law, he does not spare an other class whose lawlessness has been productive of conditions which he thinks threatens its very existence, nnu thnt nf lhd rnmiltlif. Itnolf. firtmp of his words are winged. He says: But now shall we excuse or long sympathize with the man of influence and position, of wealth and prestige who still by work and deed teaches disrespect for or defiance of the law? Does he not know that It Is useless to long expect law and order In the com mon walks of life when lawlessness reigns supr-me In the upper air? Let us not trifle tcj long with that widespread passionate sense of wrong even among the more conservative, arising out of the belief that large fortunes have been built up at the ex pense of the poor, and that men, wo men and children go hungry while others revel In waste and luxury. It Is possible to go on until the soldier called into the street to save property will fraternize with the mob. Less picturesquely phrased, per haps, but going further toward the root ot the matter are his expressions deploring the widely prevalent ten dency among the American people of all classes to Ignore the law where It operates adversely to their desires, to nullify It at convenience. He says: In no other first-rate nation, Is taw so disregarded as In the United Btates. There is no place where life Is so insecure against bomb or bullet, -where criminal laws are so lneffec . - nally enforced, where corruption is so little condemned In public opinion and where defiance of law In the highest walks of business life so generally prevails. This Is a frightful Indictment to be drawn against any people, but a just, Our high murder rate, our lynch ings, our half-hearted criminal court procedure, our dynamite wars, our predatory wvnlth all are symtomatlc or a nation.! , aisease. mo lesson could more profitably be Inculcated than that the will ot all the people as expressed In the law of the land should and must be obeyed. election, so needful to the welfare of the - country from - their viewpoints, was assured. But poor HIgglns, whose election also was needful, was in trou ble; Harrlman earnestly hoped that his friend Roosevelt would divert a part of the national committee's funds to where It would do the most good to the New York State ticket As to the Inwardness of the revela tion of the transaction at this oppor tune moment, that also should be gratifying to the nation at large. Col. Roosevelt's opponents see confirmation of their suspicion that heis angling for the Presidential nomination; his supporters hope he will angle for the nomination. 'I So much for the Sheldon correspon dence. But there Is a phase of the matter which may trouble skeptical minds. Harrlman, In a letter to 8yd ney Webster, said Roosevelt approach ed him for funds. Now It Is said Mr. Bliss approached Harrlman. Harrl man Is dead; Webster is dead; Bliss is dead. Bliss died last October. Ten days ago Col. Roosevelt suggested that Sheldon give his version of the affair. Taft was in New York this week lining up "the boys." CoL Roose velt reiterates, he has no third-term aspirations. Here is a queer concate nation of circumstances, so to speaks The Gazette-News force expect, as Is customary, to observe Christmas as a holiday. However, all day will be dog watch, and If any event of a startling nature should occur Monday at home or abroad, to warrant It, an extra will be put on the streets. North Pole, Dec. ii, '11.

It's getting so that when a respect able person Is mysteriously murdered, suspicion naturally falls on the family. And think how happy next Christ mas will be, with the new hotels full of guests.

McCormlek. Ashevllle, Dec. 23, "11. (Enclosure) Paul Smathers was arrested last night charged with committing an as- ult "with an electric current" or Robert Taylor, who It Is alleged wat called Into the garage of the Western Carolina Auto, company last night and was knocked to the floor by an Invisi ble force. A copper mat had beer arranged near the door of the garage it Is said, to which had been connected ten batteries which were controlled by a push button. When Taylor step ped on the mat, to say that he wa shocked would be expressing it mildl he was highly shocked, or rathei shocked so highly that he hit the earth and was unable to rise, an Irresistablt force having commanded that he re main seated. He grabbed the first thing In sight. It is said, but did nol turn It loose for It, too. was charged with the current of the ten batteries He made an effort to yell, but It k said that Instead of a sound, spark Issued from his mouth. This Is merel) reported snd may be exaggerated The fact remains that when the buttoc was pushed, by 8mathers, according U allegations Taylor struck the flooi and when 8mather ceased te push Taylor arose, although he left the skir of the palm of his hands In the Boor It having been burned off by the se vere shock. It Is said. The joke wai considered an excellent one. It Is re ported, until a pollcemaa appeared on the scene. Then, It was Paul's time U be shocked, although no one accuser the bluecoat ot pushing a button oi placing Paul on a copper mat How ever, the young electrician was shock ed just the same and If ha recover! h will be called upon by - Judg Adams this morning In police eourl to explain how he came to get the lW that he was a penitentiary warden and that Taylor had been sentenced to the chair. - The case Is an unusual one, and will doubtless cause no little Interest when It Is called this morning. . Some of the citizens of West Ashe- ille, most of them living In that portion of the town toward Ashevllle, are proposing the promotion of a wa ter company In addition to that they have now, the Buckeye Water com pany. A prospectus has been issued and it is proposed that the company be capitalized at $25,000. The prospectus sets out that it seems essential that the town have a larger supply of water and the opinion Is expressed that it would be well to get the supply from Ashevllle by tap ing the main at Avery street. It Is Iso proposed that stock of the com pany be sold or bonds issued for the construction. If enough stock is sub scribed to install the system the bonds will not be issued. According to the prospectus, if the town is ever incor porated the company will sell the sys tem to the corporation for the amount It cost and S per cent Interest. It has not been long since the Buck eye Water company, brought water to the town from Yader mountain but It seems that the system does not reach some of the property owners who want water in their houses. Those that have the present service appear to be ery well pleased with It, so far as could be learned from inquiries to day. The Lord Relgneth.

NEGRO SOUND TO COURT FDR jlOTUEl DECIMAL Said Check Was For $20, But It Was Meant for Only 20 Cents.. , Ed. Goodrum, colored, was In Po lice court this morning on the charge of obtaining money and merchandise from Sam Klnesteln on false pretenses. The evidence Introduced was rather damaging to the defendant and he was bound over to the February term of Superior court under a bond of 1100. A clerk in Mr. Flnesteln' stors was the principal witness for the proseca tlon and he stated that Good rum came Into the store to buy some clothes and offered a check In pay ment, which he said was for 110. The amount ot the purchase, he saUl, amounted to 17 and he gave the ne gro IIS In change. When the de fendant left the store the check was examined a,nd was found to be for 2 cents Instead of for $20. Goodrum went on ths stand In his pwa behalf snd mads the statement that he had taken the- check to a ma In Blltmore and asked him how much It called for and was told that It wa for 20. When asked by tha court 1 hs could read, he said that he could read a little but It was hard for him to make anything out of "white folks' wrltln'." The court held that he ought te have known how much time he was getting paid tor In the check as It was for work, and so refused believe the story. The defendant was therefore bound over for probabl cause, , HOT WATER BOTTLES We are agents for the Kant leek Water Bottles and Foun tain Syringes.
