Leader Murphy Shows He Can Talk Back. Not so Much Virtue in McCIeilan's Defiance of the Tammany Or ganization, According to the Statement of the Boss. New York, Jan. 6. Leader Charles J? Murphy, of Tammany Hall, to-day gave out a statement in regard to Mayor McCIeilan's action in refusing yester day to reappoint Election Commissioner "Voorhis as president of the board, the choice oi the regular Democratic or ganization in New York. In appoint ing John C. Dooling to succeed Voor his, the mayor took occasion to state that he would no longer "recognize the existing control of Tammany Hall," .and that he could not "tolerate any re lations with its present leader." Replying to the mayor's criticism, Mr. Murphy said : "Although named in strict conform ity with the provisions of law, by the Democratic organization of the county - of New York for the place, and that, too, without a single dissenting vote, Commissioner Voorhis was rejected by the mayor, not for any of the shuffling reasons assigned, but simply and solely because last fall, in the designation of the Democratic newspapers to publish the election notices, Commissioner Voorhis refused to violate his oath of office and be a party to the satisfaction t-f the mayor's petty revenges upon the newspapers which had harshly criti cised him. "As to the present leader of Tam many Hall, let me observe that no " ian in the community has held closer i relations with him nor does any one know him more thoroughly than this fame mayor. It any reason exists vhich justifies the breaking of the elations which have existed between e two men, I do not know just what . - -, may be, and I urge the mayor, if he knows, to make such reason pub Uc. I parted with the mayor after our -t last interview on friendly terms, as I ; was led to believe, and if at that time I was unworthy of association with any one who knew me, the mayor careful ly concealed any knowledge he might have had in that regard. I now ear nestly invite him to take the public in 1 to his confidence as to any unworthy act of which I have ever been guilty and ot which he has knowledge. "I defy him to name a single in stance in which I - have suggested or - urged on behalf of the Democratic . organization the appointment to pub lie office of a man whose record and character would not compare favor- - ably with his present appointees and Vntimates." Wild West Man Taken By Detectives. Conductor Identifies Him as the Man Who Bohbed Passen gers on Seaboard in Virginia. llichmond, Va., Jan. 2. J. C. An drews, alias L. C. Cox, was arrested by detectives at Acca Station, near Rich mond, today as the robber who held up the Seaboard Air Line train near La Crosse last Sunday night and relieved a number of the Pullman car passen gers of their loose change and other valuables, securing about 1,000 worth of booty, and was fully identified by the conductor and porter of the train as the highwayman in question. The Pullman car conductor w as not in the city. The prisoner was lodged in jail here, and will be delivered to-morrow to the authorities of Mecklenburg county, in which the crime was com mitted, for trial. The penalty for his offense may be death, under the laws of Virginia, in the discretion of the jury. The detectives have information to the effeet that Andrews, alias Cox, has operated over pretty much the whole country, having applied his talents especially at county and State fairs. There is as yet no clue to his accom plice. The Lynching Record. According to statistics sent out from New Orleans to the Boston Trans script there were 72 lynchings during 1906 in the United States against 67 in 1905, 87 in 1904, 104 in 1903, 96 in 1902 and 135 in 1901. The victims of the 72 lynchings of the year were one negro woman, two white men and 69 negro men. The crime charged to the two white men was murder, 1 and this is true of the negro woman. Of the 69 negro men, 14 were charged with criminal assault, 19 with attempted criminal assault and one with assault and murder. There were 31 lynchings of negroes charged with murder, five murders having been charged against one of the vic tims, four against another and two against another. The rest were killed for such offenses as stealing a calf, stealing a silver dollar, carrying a loaded pistol, making improper pro posals to white women, and misce genation, i According to this report Mississippi has more lynchings to its credit than any other State (13) .while Georgia and Louisiana came next with nine each. Texas and Florida with six each, and Alabama and the two Carolinas with five each. All the Southern States are found in the list, including Missouri, with three lynchings and Maryland with one. No Northern State not even Illinois and Ohio appears in the list of 1906. This is a bad exhibit for the South, notwithstanding that she has had to deal with- a large element of lawless negroes, and the record will do us no good. Lynching breeds lawlessness and causes the people in those com munities where it is in vogue to set a lower estimate than, they should upon human lite.

MATTER NOT ENDED YET Wili Investigate the Statement of Congressman Blackburn and Then Act. Greensboro News. Congressman E. Spencer Blackburn returned to "Washington yesterday on northbound train No. 40, which passed here several hours late yesterday morn ing. Although there has been a great deal of talking, nothing has been done in the alleged libel proceedings, and no warrant was served on the congress man while he was here. His denial of having authorized the statement stayed the proceedings tem porarily, and now that Congress is in session, it is probable that nothing will be done until after Congress ad journs. It is understood, however, that Gov. Glenn has instructed his attorneys not to let up in the investigation. Just what course in the matter will be taken is not known, or the attorneys are not talking, at least. It is with pleasure that space is given to the following account of a tourna ment of the old-fashioned kind, re printed from the Reidsville Review : "An interesting and exciting tourna ment was held at Yancey ville, and was attended by a large gathering of peo ple, both ladies and gentlemen, for miles around. Seven riders partici pated in the contest, which was a bril liant affair. The feats of the daring riders elicited hearty applause from the spectators, and the finish was a close one. "Mr. W. S. Fitch won the crown and presented it to Mr. A. C. Lindsey, who crowned Miss Blair Lowndes as queen. "Mr. C. W. Wrenn, of Ruffin, crowned Miss Howard as first maid of honor. Mr, Preston Aldridge crowned Miss Lizzie Lowndes second maid of honor, and Mr. Will Henderson, of Durham, crowned Miss Mary Royall Metz as third maid of honor. "The contest was followed by a baU that night at the court house, which was a most brilliant affair and the so cial event of the season. Many of the dancers made merry until a late hour and tripped the light fantastic to the strains of pleasing music. A large number of out ot town visitors were present, and all of them were pleasantly entertained. Delicious refreshments were served." WANT UNION DEPOT. on Railroads Failing to Agree Proper Facilities Corporat tion Commission is Invoked. Wilmington Sfar. Efforts of the Traffic Committee of the Chamber of Commerce having fail ed to effect an agreement between the Seaboard Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line by which the traveling pub lic to and from Wilmington would be provided with union depot facilities, the State Corporation Commission has been invoked and Mr. J. A. Taylor, president of the Chamber, is advised by Mr. McNeill, chairman of the Com mission, that a hearing of all sides of the question will fee held in this city some time during the month of Jan uary, the exact date to be annuonced late. BEE'S LAXATIVE HONEY and TAR RELIEVES COUGHS AND COLDS Created a Furore. Paris, Jan. 3. There was a remark able scene to-night at the notorious Moulin Rouge when the Marquis de Morny , a daughter of the famous Duke de Morny, and a niece of Napoleon III, made her debut in an act called "A Dream of Egypt," written by herself in collaboration with Mme. Gauthier Villars, the author of "Claudine" and other decadent novels. Not from This State. Roanoke, Va., Jan. 3 J. M. Thomas, whose dead body was found yesterday in a deep ravine near Danville, was a Roanoke man and not from Lexington, N. C, as reported. He was superin tendent of steam shovel . wrork for a railroad contracting firm, and left here several days ago for Danville. His son, Rice Thomas, is a cadet at the Virginia Military Institute, Lexington. The family believe he met with foul play. EVE AND THE LEMON. Did Eve hand Adam a lemon? That is the question now that is agi tating the public mind. A preacher of prominence has said that it was a le mon that tha first lady of the land temptingly tendered the unsuspecting partner of her daily joys. , Whether the higher criticism or in gratitude in politics has precipitated the discussion we know not,but it is on in earnest and everybody might as well get ready to line up on the side of either the lemon or the apple. It is a fruitful discussion any way you put it. The Bible does hot say that it was an apple, but as the apple has generally been considered easy fruit, of course the blame was put upon the apple in theifirst stages of the discussion. The Atlanta Journal is firmly con vinced that a lemon was what Eve handed out. The Southern Farmer and the New! York Cotton Exchange Don't Track. Southern eotton men. both producers and middlemen, should attend the com ing convention of the Southern Cotton association f fot no other reason than to give expression to their condemna tion of the New York Cotton Exchange. The concern cannot, perhaps, be abol ished, but it can be rendered notorious, and even odious, and in the association is the right place to voice southern senti ment and feeling. The cotton tendered on contract in New Vork is often so rottenj that few will take it, and the result is that they proceed to protect themselves by sell ing an equal quantity of cotton, and in that way New York becomes as a rule a bear market. Its trend is towards the spinners, and away from the producers of the staple. In order that this im portant matter may be plainly under stood we give here the explanation of the New Orleans Times-Democrat. It says: - "Contracts for the future delivery of cotton are made on the basis of Middl ing, but any grade or half-grade, from fair to good ordinary, both inclusive, may ae tendered, with allowances on or off for qualities better or worse than the basis. It goes without saying that the correctness of the plus or minus allowances is of supreme import to the integrity of the contract, In New Orleans, the differences are those actual ly prevailing on the sixthgday before delivery is due and these differences are determined by the values current in the "spot" market. In New York, on the other hand, the differences are fixed at the outset of the season, once for all and before the character of the crop can be accji.teiJ. known. Man ifestly, the New York plan exposes the buyer of contracts to serious loss, because he may have to take either good grades or low grandes for more than they are worth, relatively to the basis. The seller is safe, being free to deliver the grades that suit his book. At the present time, for example, the receiver must take good ordinary with an allowance of a cent and a quarter, whereas the actual difference is almost two cents. This is a trap for the un wary outsider and even the wary insider sometimes gets caught. Per contra, the New Orleans system is fair to both parties and the speculator must make his money by foreseeing the drift of events. The southern people have patiently stood the New York device for rigging the cotton market with a view to de press arbitrarily the price of the staple. Statistics, for example, show that on December 20 December contracts in New York were 137 points below middling spot prices. That sort of trickery has, it is estimated, cheated the south out of millions already this season. If the postoffice authorities and the law authorities will not stop the fraud ulent practices oi the New York Cotton Exchange, let the Southern Cotton association at its coming meeting pre sent the facts clearly and succinctly, and then let an expression of opinion thereon be put on record and distrib uted for and wide. The subject is one that calls for action, if action be pos sible. if not, then tor an expression that will take the hide off the rascals who have devised and who keep afloat fraudulent quotations of cotton. IT IS NOT TRUE. Blackburn Denies That He Governor Glenn. Libeld Greensboro, N. C, Jan, 2 At two o'clock today Congressmsri Blackbnrn sent to Solicitor Brooks, whom Gov ernor Glenn had authorized to have a warrant issed for his arrest for libel, the following signed statement: . "The statement in last Sunday morn ine's"iaDers concerning the notice of mv contest upon Mr. Hackett and the reflection upon Governor Glenn is without my authorization., My notice to him signed by myself, will de suf ficient for public scrutiny. Thus far any signature appearing m the papers purporting to be mine is a forgery. In the notice of my contest which I have issued there will be found no sugges tions of corruption on the part of Gov ernor Clenn. The notice will speak for itself. ''E.SPENCEE BLACKBURN." H VILLAGE HOME Where Pe-ru-na Is Used As An AU-Round Reliable Family Medicine. There Are Thousands of Similar Homes In Which Pe-ru-na Is Being- Used With the sjpfiP Same Excellent Results. JTountainville, Pa., Feb. 16, 1902. S, B. Hartman, M. D. Dear Sir: I have been thinking of writing to you for some time to let you know what Peruna did for me. I am 57 years old. I lost my health about six or seven years ago. I first had dyspepsia and employed different doctors. Last year I injured one of my kidneys. I had one of the best doctors for that. He put me to bed, not to move for two weeks. I slowly recovered, but was so weak and prostrated that I could walk but a short distance. In fact I had to keep quiet. I took several remedies, but obtained no relief. X also had catarrh in some form. My wife advised me to take Peruna, and it is with pleasure that I can say that by taking one and one-half bottle of your Peruna, it cured me and I feel all right. I send this with many thanks to you, as I enjoy life again. My wife has also been taking your Peruna for asthma and it helps to re lieve her. We keep your Peruna in the house constantly. Again I say I thank yon for Peruna. Sincerely yours, PHILIP KRATZ. Fountainville, Pa., Nov. 9, 1903. Dr. S. B. Hartman. Dear Sir : I have good health now and your valuable medicine gave me good health. I have had no doctor for some time, as I do not need any. When. I take cold I take Pernna and in a short time I am all right. My wife is subject to asthma. She takes Peruna at that time, and she has had no need for a doc- tor for some time. With many thanks for your medicine, we remain, Sincerely yours, PHILIP KRATZ. Fountainville, Pa., April 16, 1906. Dr. S. B. Hartman. Dear Sir: We have Peruna in the house all the time and when we think we need it, we take it. We are about sixty years old and have not called a doctor to our place for some years. We go out in all kinds of weather and sometimes when we go on a trip we take Peruna along. A preventive is better than a cure. That has been our experience. I had poor health some years ago and when I found your medicine I hit the right thing. We both thank yorj for your good medicine. Sincerely yours, PHILIP KRATZ. Witness to Signatures. I, John Donnelly, Mayor of Doyles town, Pa., have been acquainted with Mr. Philip Kratz for 25 years. I know him to be an honorable and useful citi zen. He, in my presence, signed the above statements concerning Peruna, which I have every reason to believe are true in all particulars. signed. JOHN DONN EULiY, Esxj. PIHE-ULES for th Kidneys 30 DAYS' TREATMENT FOR 31. OO A Dead Man and a Live Company Prevent widows and orphans from becoming charges on charity. But a dead man without a previous connec tion with a Live Life Insurance Company did an awfully poor stroke of finance when he died. The live man and the live company must get together, else the surviving live company can't do anything towards making things easy for the dead man's family. Some one has said that dead men tell no tales, and may be they don't; but if they could retrace their steps and see the sort of tales that the widows and orphans are left to tell, they would be filled with regret at their own failure to prevent such a tale. They would tell you to seek out that live company the State Life, for instance and form a partnership with it, whereby it was to look after your family when you cease and determine. They would point out to you the great security which the State of Indiana throws around you when it requires all Indiana companies to keep enough securities deposited with the State Department to cover every dollar that the Company owes to its policy holders. These dead men would tell you a lot of things that would make you more of a live man if only they could come back. Now, Listen: Your widow and children will have hard enough. time to get along after you leave them all the in surance money that you possibly can, and their lives won't be very cheerful if you don't leave them anything. Think it over, with your own self as the star actor in the picture, and then write for rates and further particulars concern ing the State Life. P. Sam Cox, ftfl'g'r of Agents. Columbia, S.
