IMS, at U post oO at Salte ry, N. G, udw U at af OoBffrwn of Mare trc. 1OT. Salisbury, N. C, Nov 18, 1908. Has &none made any guesses yet on the next postmaster of Sal isbury, or the U. S. District At torney for this district? We dont mind saying- in strictlconfi dence that Jas. H. Ramsay will probably be postmaster under the Taft administration. Salisbury could not get a better one. There is evidently something wrong with the people in various sections of the country. It has been a long time Bince one heard of so many murders and shoot ings as have taken place lately. Many persons seem to have a Inst for blood which they are willing to satisfy at any risk. What is the trouble, are we to degenerate intoa nation of murderers? . The Watchman does not know who was the aggressor in the re cent street duel in Nashville, lenn., in which Ex-Senator Cor mack was killed. It knows one thing, however, that no one who knew.the dead Senator will believe for a second the preposterous story told by the Coopers, that Carmack tried to hide behind a woman when the shooting commenced. E W. Carmack was not that kind of a man. There is an element of fiendish ness and atrocious cold blooded ness in that Waynesville killing which is really appalling. From the published reports of Tihe affair it appears that there was a mis understanding between Jas. Moody and a young man named Vaughn. Seeing Moody on the street Vaughn went to him and was in the act of offering an apol ogy for something he had said or done, when Moody pulled a re volver and shot him. It is a mat ter of much regret that Moody made his escape, but the officers may yet capture him. It has been stated in more than one newspaper of the State re cently, that a bill will be intfbducr ed in the next legislature to grant communities .the right of local self-government. The Watch man does not believe-that such bill will be introduced, but if it should be, it is rf the opinion that the bill will meet a speedy death. The introduction of such a bill would simply mean, in ef Tect, an attempt to override the will of a .very large majority of the people, expressed at the election held last May. The voters of North Carolina voted overwhelmingly in favor of a dry State, and the man or set of men wno introduce sucn a measure as the one mentioned, or support it ,after it is introduced will simply sign, me aeatn warrant oi any hope of future -preferment they may have. A measure of this na ture might be brought ftp later on, in case we maysay, that the pro hition law proves a failure. So long as the State has voted dry we believe that all those who so 9 voted, together with many who voted on the other side, are anx ious to give the law a fair trail and it is the duty of every good citizen to see, as far as may be possible, that the law has this. True, it is only an experiment with the people of North Caro lina, but they have said at the polls that they were willing to try the experiment and they ought to be given every facility for testing the matter thorough ly. The Sunday School Institute. The institute for the instruc tion of Sunday school teaehers will be held at the First Presby terian church. There will be two services today, one at 3 p. m. and another at 7:30 p. m. To morrow there will be three sions, a. tn., p. m. There will be much of in terest to Sunday school workers, at those meetings. A FATAL FALL. Son of Henry Wattsrson Meets Dea'h by : Unusual Accident. Harvey W. Watterson, -a Iaw ye, and younger" son of Henry Watterson, editor of The Louis ville Courier-Journal, plunged to his death from the nineteenth floor of his office building at 37 Wall Street late today. . His body Bhot downward for 110 feet and fended on the roof of a ten-story building adjoining. Almost every bone was broken and the head crushed and death was practically instantaneous. While there were no eye-witness es to the tragedy, evidently it was entirely accidental. Mr. Watter son's hat and overcoat were on his closed desk. Presumably he had attempted to lower the window, and either stumbling over the ra diator which was in- front of the low sill, or losing his footing in some manner unknown pitched foward and down to death on the roof below. 1 Mr. Watterson was SU years old and married. He was.' junior member of the law firm of Wing, Russell & Watterson. Shortly before 4 o'clock Mr. Watterson left the office library, remarking that he was going homt, and passed from . the library through the office of F. R. Bagg, the managing clerk, into his pri vate office, the door of which closed and locked automatically las he entered, xsagg was tne last person to see the young lawyer alive. A few minutes later tht. superin tendent of the building rushed in and informed Thos. E. Wing, sen ior member of the firm, that he believed Mr. Watterson had fall en from the window and looked down from the window. The mangled form was seen lying be low. The body was removed to the Watterson home, after the coro ner had declared that the death of Mr. Watterson was due entirely to accident. A peculiar feature of the case was that Mr. Watterson's watch and cigarette case in one pocket, and a pipe in another, were not damaged by the fall. New York dispatch.
