How shoe manu facturers will be able to convince in vestigators for the attorney general's "department that there is justification uir me proposed advance m me pficos of shoes after the fall samples have been sent out in .March is a question that Is receding careful consideration in the shoe centers of New England. "Klaming it on the beef, trust, on the scarcity of raw material and on the expense of ill advised billboard and electric sinn advertising" is ail very well," said ft prominent officer of the shoe workers' union, "but the manu facturers will never be able to prove any of these claims if the attorney general takes action. Raw material has undoubtedly' advanced in the last ten years, but on the other hand, labor MLVinu machinery has so cut down t'i cost of production in the same peri id that the plot tif the manufacturers would be exposed and they would, be convicted of violating the Sherman a H before they fully realized that their case was before the courts." Facts obtained in the arious shoe manufacturing- centers of New Eng land show that So per cent of the men who have gone Into the business of shoe manufacturing have become wealthy and that many of them start ed with barely sufficient capital, to pay for the ' lights. -In their factory build ings. Modern shoe manufacturing ma chinery has made cuts in the. cost' of production that are astounding. Re tore the Introduction of machinery the cost of making ft pair of shoes that sohl for from Sii.fiO to J" a pair wsn from $2. SO to $2.90. Added to this, of course, was the cost of the material. The cost of making shoes which sell today at from $.1 to $7 a pair Is "between tit) and 70 cents. In the last 10 years the cost of production has been lowered at least 10 cents n pair, declares ; a manufacturer who has been in business SB years. John S.

"These figures seem to demonstrate the truth of the contention that tin-re is no justification for an incrt-ase in prices." said a man who has been making a study of slme manufacturing conditions.

Dr, Ed ward n Thornhlll, a well known phy sician of the Houtherr section of West Virginia was yesterday shot ami killed by Willis Hattield, son of the noted feudist "Devil Anse" Hatfield in a drug store at Mullens. The physi cian was attending an injured person when the shooting occurred. Hatfield, it Is said asked Dr. Thorn hill to issue a prescription for a pint of whiskey. The doctor refused and when Hattield used abusive language the physician slapped him. Hatfield, it is alleged, immediately drew a re volver and tired two nutlets into Dr. Thornhill's body. Stepping closer, he again lired two more shots, each tak ing effect in the head if the prostrate man. Hatfield ran out of the drug store but was captured within a few min utes by persoirs who had witnessed the shooting.

Yesterday afternoon and last night Henry Kllswoith showed' at the Audi torium pictures of the Passion Play of ohcruniim-rgau, anil accompanied the views by a lecture. This is the lirst time that these pictures have been shown here and their reception was extremely favorable. That the audiences were impressed was evi denced by the tears shed by some when they looked upon some of the most touching scenes. The lecture of .Mr. Kllsworth was also well received. He has visited Ohcrnnimerguu ' many times to see this play which is sur rounded by such reverence and mys tery and which is absolutely unique, lie has spent many years among the people, and it is said that he is the only man ever permitted to take pic tures of the scenes. The views are not on reels but are simply slides. , When the slides showing the cruci fixinn were being shown there was un accompaniment of sacred music and the tolling of mullled bells which add ed to the improssiveiiess. The .pictures will be shown this afternoon and tonight and twice also tomorrow. HIT BY BULLET Kiigeiie Cocke Victim of Pit uliar Ac i lilciit Hall Ploughed Through I ndcr His Chin. A peculiar accident happened to Kugene Cocke just as the new year came in. A bullet supposed to be a stray one tired by some one who was celebrating- the advent of tne new year, struck him under the chin, passing out about three inches from where it entered. It is not considered serious but if it had been a half inch deeper, it Is said thut It would likely have liei-n fatal. Mr. Cocke with some friends was on the Momford school grounds and had stooped down to fire some crackers when he was struck. It could not very well be, told from what direction the bullet came but it is not thought' that it w us fired with mal'cious intent. Woodmen Install Officers.

OF LIGHT SERVICE ; -n Father of Jesse Riggs Is Keep er of the Cape Henry ,, Light House. Kphrlam Riggs. who has been visit ing his son. Jesse Itiggs, here for the past week, left yesterday for Norfolk. .Mr. Uiggs is keeper of the light house at Cape Henry. To a Gazette-News reporter Sir. Riggs talked Interestingly about the light house service In gen eral and his light house in particular. Mr. Riggs has been in the service 2" years, beginning his work ut Cape llatteras, one of the most dangerous points on any coast. Mr. Riggs stated that the light ser vice is now In the department of labor and commerce, but that it Was for merly in tho treasury department con trolled by a board taken from the army and navy. It is now a separate bureau. The light house at Cape Henry, Mr. Riggs said, has a force of four men. altnough .most of them only have three. This house also maintains a foghorn and on certain nights when the weather is "thickf this Is required to be operated. A watch is kept every night, of course, in the tower, and "if the watchman sleeps any."' said Mr. Riggs. "he does not say anything about it. If the light should go out for five minutes, there would be some ques tions asked." Contrary to general opinion, elec tricity is not generally used for lights Mr. Riggs said that so far electricity had proved loo uncertain, although there are some towers where electric lights are used, but In that case an auxiliary coal oil light is maintained At Cape Henry only coal oil Is de pended on. There is a battery of wicks, ranging from a little over 5 inches in diameter to one inch. It does not appear that the light itself is so very strong. It is only about 600 candle power, but this Is increased t 4:., 000 candle power by the use of lenses. This light can be seen on ordinary occasions) for a distance of 22 miles or until the curvature of the earth cuts it off. The light is 1T.7 feet above the ground. Mr. Riggs said he had for a Ion time entertained tho hope that then would be a tower built on Diamond shoals ut Cape Hatteras anil that h would be made keeper of it, but that he was getting too old now, nnd tin construction had been delayed toi long. For 25 years, he said, the gov ernment had contemplated the build ing of a light house on the Diamond shoals, but although attempts had been made, the place is so dangerous they had to he abandoned. One con tracting firm lost some $73,000 be cause they did not begin the work early enough in the summer; a storm came up and they had to leave. Ac cording to Mr. Riggs, .the government has a standing appropriation of $", 000,000 for the firm that w ill build th tower along certain specifications and maintain it for two years. There is, of course, a tower at Carie Hatteras, but it is twelve miles from the point of the shoals. There Is also a lightship six miles beyond the point The government wants a tower on thi point of the shoals. DEALS IX DIRT. : JL John Davis et als. to M. B.

To make every bite of food you eat aid in the nourishment and strength of your body, you must rid your Stom ach of poisons, excessive aci.l and stomach gas, which sours your entire meal interferes with digestion and causes so many sufferers of Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Biliousness, Constipa tion, Griping, etc. Your case is no different you are a stomach sufferer, though you may call it by some other name; your real and only .trouble Is that -which you eat . does not digest, but quickly ferments and sours, pro ducing almost any unhealthy condi tion.

LAFQLLETTE I (Continued from page 1) subject to the recall advocated in thi platform and will lie subject to re tirement on vote of a petition orig inated by 30 county leagues. Senator LaFollette, , discussing "What Wisconsin has Done With the Railroad Problem," said "that tin prosperity of honest business as shown by railroad earnings has increased more in Wisconsin in five years than it has in the rest of the country, and the railroads are gaining more by treating everybody on an equality than they could have gained by their old meth ods of politics and secret favoritism "The Railway tommission keeps an accurate account of all the business of every railroad of the state. These accounts show that during the. first five years of its existence the com mission has reduced-, freight rates so that the freight actually carried costs the shippers less by $1,200,000 a vear than it would have cost at the old rates. A similar reduction in pussen gers rates amounts to about $SOO,000 a year. "Yet, during these same years, 1905 to 1909. the net earnings of the rail roaas in vt isconsm Increased more relatively than the net earnings for all the railroads in the Fnlted Slates. i ne increase in tne L nlted States Is 18.41 per cent. How was It possible that the net earnings of the railroads in Wisconsin should increase realtively a little more than the net earnings for all the railroads in the United States, notwithstanding- the decrease in the rates amounting to more than $2,000,000? Simply because the de crease in rate for freight and passen gers was inimwecl by an enormous in crease in the amount of freight and number of passengers carried, and notwithstanding the reduction In rates. There was an actual increase of 29 per cent in the revenue of the roads from traffic. During the same time the increase In the trarlie revenues of all the United States was only 16 per cent. In other words, the totnl Income of the roads from their Wisconsin traffic increased 24 per cent more than the total Income of ail the roads In the United States, Wisconsin Included. "This resulted notwithstanding the idditlonal fact that mainly on account of the greatly? Improved and more efficient service which the commission required the railroads to perform. their expenses In Wisconsin increased 5 per cent more than their expenses in the United States. 1 "There is no better reflection of the prosperity of a state than the amount of business transacted by Its railroads. When Wisconsin abolished free passes, discriminations, secret rebates and like wrongful practices. It stimulated enormously the building up of manu facturing and farming, and const- fluently it Increased the revenues or the railroads. In addition to this much that th r!;-oaas lost in the re duction of open rates that everybody shared, they saved By being Compelled to abolish free passes, and secret cut rates that went only to 'insiders', as before stated. Special examiners who were appointed in 1 903. discovered anil reported a $1,000,000 a year paid in unlawful rebates alone by the rail roads of Wisconsin, during the six years from 1898 to 1903. -By stopping these rebates the -railroads gained at, least $1,000,009 a. year towards oft-, setting the Jl.200,000 they lost by ) the reduction -of rates." The.mieaket !suid ths Toads are making more but keeping a. small proportion of It, and are now pitying taxes the same as tho people t Wisconsin en exactly what their property is worth. f LICENSE TO WEI).

Yesterday, in accordance with the new judicial code that was adopted on March .1. last, by congress, the United States Circuit courts were abolished and all their business was promptly transferred to the United States Dis trict courts, ' The dissolution of the court in this district was effected be fore Judge James E. Royd In the federal building at Greensboro. The business of the dissolution was trans acted with much solemnity and dig nity and no friction was evidenced. The four clerks of the court in the district had all their records, reports, etc., ready, and these were also trans ferred to the district court. . J. M. Milllkan was then sworn in as the clerk of the District court and the others were named as deputy clerks. It was felt neoessary to have assistant deputy clerks, as before, for States ville and Asheville where the work is especially heavy, and for this reason D. jr. Furchis aus reappointed as an assistant at Statesvlllo nnd Miss Min nie l Rorison for this city. W. & Hyams, who is the deputy clerk here, will t-onriuct the office Just as heretofore and will have (absolute control of all the records, moneys nnd tiles or the court. Alls Rorison, who has assisted him in the office for a number of years nnd who was riap pointed, took the 'oath of her office this morning before Judge . J. C. Pritchard. The first session of the District court to be held here, after the dissolution of the Circuit court, will begin next Monday with Judge Royd presiding, and will be for the ttip! of civil cases. This will bi an adjourned session of the court, the first part of it having been held here In November. THINK THIS OVER This Offc Wiould Gain tlm UonfldoiHt' of live Moat Skeptical.
