DATE OF TRIAL SET.
Jury Will Shortly Determine the Guilt or
Innocence of the Coopers.
The criminal court to-day fixed
the trial of Col. Duncan B. Coop
er, his son Robin J. Cooper, and
John D. Sharp, on the charge of
the murder of former United States
Senator Carmack, for December
8th. All pleaded not guilty when
arraigned saparately. They were
refused bail.
Counsel for defense objected to
their clients being brought in per
son into court and aBked to be al
lowed to waive formal arraigment,
urging the custom which has pre
vailed in this court. The attor
ney general insisted on following
the law to the letter, however, and
the court sustained him.
Colonel Cooper listened closely
to the reading of the indictment
and at its close Judge Hart asked :
"Are you guilty are net guilty?"
"Not guilty," was the reply in
a clear voice.
Robin Cooper was next called
and the indictment against him
read in the manner of the preced
ing one. His answer to the usual
question was in a low voice, "Not
guilty."
Mr. Sharp was next called and
the indictment charging him with
the murder of Senator Carmark
was first read and the usual ques
tion asked him. His reply in a
loud voice was, "Not guilty, sir."
The indictment charging him
.with being an accessory before the
fact was next read, and in the
same manner and words he entered
his plea. Nashville, Tein., dispatch.
WASTIN6 PUBLIC MONEY.
New Form of Municipal Goiernment.
The "Texas system" of mu
nicipal g-overnmeut which will be
adopted by High . Point will be
presented at an early date to the
public by a special committee ap
pointed by the board of alder
men. The committee, headed by
A. E. Tate, has been working- on
the new charter for some titna and
is getting it in shape to suit this
North Carolina town. It will be
presented to the Legislature
which meets in January for rat
ification. The new charter will
inall probability call for commis
sioners and a recorder's court, and
much interest is being- manifested
in the same. Hig-h Point special

That is What the Government has Done In
the Florida Peonage Cases.
The despatches tell us that the
Federal government has spent
$500,000 prosecuting alleged pe
onage cases in Florida and else
where in the South without se
caring one single conviction, and
that it has decided to discontinue
the pursuit. Half a million dol
lars of the public money has been
wasted in following up . the ignis
fatus inventions of worthless la
borers and sensational correspond
ents of Northern newspapers
mere never was any tning in
these charges, but the Federal of
ficials, in their anxiety to prose
cute and harass somebody a mar
ked characteristic, by the way, of
the Roosevelt-Bonaparte adminis
tration seized upon them as af
fording an opportunity for self
exploitation and the expenditure
of public money. An army of
spies and detectives and other
"agents" were sent mto the field.
Employers of labor all in the
South, be it noted were harassed
and annoyed, and after two years
of such outrageous harassment
comes the announcement of noth
ing accomplished except the use
less expenditure of half a million
dollars of good money. It is to
be hoped Taft will early next
March make Bonaparte and all
his staff of public persecutors walk
the plank. Thefc have cost the
government millions, and the peo
ple more millions, all in order to
keep themselves in the public eye
and their mouths at the public
spigot. Nashville American.
Our Friends An Invocation.
Giver of every'good and perfect
gift we desire to thank Thee this
day for our friends.
Sometimes in our thoughtless
ness or in our arrogance we say
we make them. Thou makes t
them, and we meet them on the
way.
To those who find few, give the
comfort of Thy spirit, and open
their eyes and ears that they may
see and hear the tokens of love and
sympathy about them ; and teach
us all to grapple to our souls with
hooks of steel those whom Thou
hast given us.
We ask this in the name of Him
who had few while on earth, who
has countless thousands now, and
yet stands waiting to welcome and
.comfort all who come unto Him.

The Re-settlement Of America.
The following- incident illus
trates the problem which is be
fore the Protestant Christian
churches of America in dealing-
with the foreigners who have
settled in such great numbers in
the East and in portions ol the
middle West. It was our privilege
during- the summer to spend the
day in a little town on the eastern
end of Long- Island, so lar east
that it should be reckoned "as a
part of New England. A portion
of the house in which we were
entertained was standing- during
the Revolution and almost everything-
about the little town savors
of the old New England days.
We were taken to see the one
great sight of the town, the finest
"building within its limits. That
building was a Polish Catholic
church. The old Protestant
churches were far inferior to this
new structure erected to meet the
needs of a great number of new
settlers with their foreign reli
gion. In a portion of New En
gland proper we found another il-

Burbani to Improve Corn.
Luther Burbank, the vegetable
wizard, who was receutly granted a
special $10,000 appropriation by
the Carnegie foundation, is to
spend part of the amount in study
to improve the common American
corn. Burbauk's seedless apples
and spineless cacti have become
famous, and the public will watch
with interest his efforts to develop
maize to greater' commercial val
ue. The American com. on which
much of the nation's agricultural
prosperity rests, is one of the few
cultivated vegetable growths of
which the California investigator
has been unable to find the origi
nal in the wild state. He thinks
it came from a grass, and that the
Central American tbostinte is now
its nearest wild relation.
The ear of com originally grew
at the top of its stalk, as the head
of wheat or oats does now. Bv
crossing species Burbank has pro
aucea a grass tnat ne believes is
similar to the ancestor of the corn.
By studying the origin of this
great American staple he hopes
to secure a basis of investigation
from which to evolve a corn of still
greater general utility.
The first task is to supply the
missing link in the evolution of
the ear. Ex.

The Deep-Breathing Cure.
A boy who was consumptive
and was rapidly going Along the
road to the grave was taken in
hand by oue who understood deep
breatbiug and the importance of
proper masticaption of food, etc.
He was made to understand pre
cisely why deep breathing was
of such vital importance and he
took a lively interest in his own
cure. He was fourteen years old.
In a very few weeks the change
was remarkale. He began to get
firm flesh on his poor little limbs,
his cbx'st developed well and a
healthy color cane into his
cheeks. HiJeyes, which were cov
ered with sties, became perfectly
clear from them, and in three
months or lis there was nojsign of
consnmptiou in him. I may say
he was treated once a week for
half .an hour, Pall Mall Gazette.
