Royal 5irJ?J and food as 0 No alum The onlv from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar NEW STATION INAUGURATED. Electric "Juice" Turned on at Salisbury That Will Supply Neighboring Towns. At midnight Tuesday night power was turned on at the South ern Power Company's station here over the new steel tower line via Albemarle and the $100,000 voH tage transformer put into service. In the future Concord, Kannapol is, China Grove, High Point, Winston and other points will re ceive their power from what is known as the "booster station" here, said to be the most impor tant of the company's stations. Id the future should the line from Salisbury to Concord get out of working order the current can be cut off and power 'turned ou from Charlotte, and vice versa, or if between Salisbury and Albemarle trouble arises the power can be furnished over the old line. The voltage is reduced by this rew transformer from 100,000 to 50, 000, and the current is distribu ted. From now on all points north ofCharlotte will get power by ,the line from Lancaster to Monroe, Albemarle and Salisbury, except in case of this one becom ing disabled, then the old line from Charlotte will be put into service. It almost eliminates any possibility of points north of Charlotte being caught without power at all. Charlotte Observer. The Terrors of Science. It is a Berious question ho the civilized person of the future is going to pick his way in safety among the traps set for him by Bcience. We. are "just at the begin ning ot the electric age. We are running our street cars by elec tricity and making some use of electric lights, but most of Cur houses are still lighted by gas ; we do our cooking and heating with coal, and we run our railroads and almost all our factories by steam. Before many years aU this work will undoubtedly be done by elec tricity. The distracted earth will be quivering with tha mighty cur rents pumped into it by every wa terfall and coal mine. But now it is becoming hazardous to exist in the presence of the forces that are already loose among us. The other day four people and a horse, at Pittsburg, were killed by stepping into a puddle of water that had been charged with electioity by a broken electric-light wire. Nobody acquaint ed with modern conditions think of leaning against an iron tolley-poje. Even children know enough to dodge a broken wire. But you never can tell from what direction the danger is com ing. You may be careful not to step on a third rail, but how can you tell when a short circuit is going to catch you as you outer a street car? A crossed wire may load you with a few hundred volts when you pick up your tele phone receiver or move your drop light. You may even be nailed when you sit in your easy chair and put your feet on the fetid er. Your water-pipes may carry a deadly electric charge and your demure iron gate may be waiting to murder you when you put your hand on its latch. And now, not content with charging the earth and the water, they are going to send electric power without wires through the air. II yea go out in a shower of rain, every drop may be loaded with electricity. - Electric cur rents have been carried by ti stream from a hose; so why should they not come down in the rain? Jt will be equally dangerous -to Baking Powder is the greatest of time and laoor savers to tne pastry cook. Economizes flour, butter eggs and makes the digestible and healthful '0 Mnkes most healthful food no lime phosphates baking powder made home. Perhaps the scientific, men are taming Ioobo a genie they would be glad a little later to put bak into his bottle if they could Possibly before they begin setting many more million volts of elec tricity adrift it may be worth their while to try to find some way of enabling us to live with those we have. -- -- - -4ibss- m - Contempt Case Against Labor Leaders Affirmed. The District Court of Appeals today affirmed the decree of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia adjudging President Samuel Gompers, Secretary Frank M rrisnu and Vics Presides John Mitchell, of the American Fr?dera tion of Labor, guilty of contempt of court in the Buck's stove and range case. Chief Justice Shep pard dissented from the court's opinion on constitutional grounds The lower court had imp sd sentences of 12 months' imprison ment in the Gompers case, 9 months in Mitchell's case and 6 months in M rrison'e case f- r their failure to obey the order of the court directing them to desist from placing the Buck Stove and Range Company of St. L-ms, Mo., on their unfair list in the prosecu tion of a boycett against the cor poration Gompers will make an attempt to appeal to the Supreme Court of the United states and no action toward the arrest of the men will be taken until the matter of ap peal is determined. The court in its decision held that if "an or ganization of citizens," however large, "may disobey the mandates of the court, the same reasoning would render them subject to in dividual defiance. Both are sub j ct to law and ner her above it. If a citizen, thou' h he may hon estly believe that his rights have been invaded, may elect when and to what extent he will obey the mandates of the court and require ments of the law as interpreted by the court, ii r- . ! oursuiug the orderly course of appeal, not only courts but the government itself would bscome powerless and society would be reduced to a state of anarchy." Gaynor is Now Mayor of New York New Y .rk, Nov. 3. Complete returns of the vote for mayor are : Gaynor, Democrat, 250,678 Ban nard, Republican-Fasiou, 177,662; Hearst, Independent, 153,843. Gaynor's plurality is 73,016. Forces of fusion will be in prac tical control of New York city's government after January next, although the Democratic candi date for mayor, was elected. With the exception of the may or, the fusion sweep was complete. Not another Democratic candi date on the city or county tickets won success. The fusion forces, by electing their candidates for comptroller and president of the board of al dermen, together with victories or fusion and anti-Tammany candi dates for presidencies of all Jive boroughs, will give the opposition to Tammany 13 out of 16 votes in the important board of estimate. This board will have during its term of office the expenditure of practically one billion dollars. On the county ticket the fusion ista elected their candidates for district attorney, sheriff, county clerk, register and city court judge, which with their other vic tories, will place nearly every bit of patronage in the greater city in their hands. The board of aldermen will be composed of 42 Democrats and 3ft From present indications the state assembly will have a Re publican majority of 43, and a Democratic gain of five. Murdered for Her Money. Manassas, Va., Nov. 21 Murdered for her money and her body incinerated in the ruins of her home is the fate that overtook Miss Ella Mta Smithi'Ed bKod v 1 i , . I was discovered in tne smok- jing wreck of her small house on the Bull liun battlefield this morning. The authori ties are looking for a negro . who lived close to the Smith S home, but who now is miss- ! ling. Miss Smith received a considerable amount of mon ey witain the last few days the proceeds of the sale of 'poultry, and it is thought Ithat she was robbed, murder ed and the house burned to destroy evidences of the crime. Some years aero Misa Smith was attacked by a ne4&JS XreSJS gro in uer loneiy nome, fought off the assailant. but A Murder at Lincolnton. Lincolnton, November 20 Wood Rogers, son of Mr. William Rogers, a respected carpenter of this place, was shot and instantly killed about 2:30 o'clock this after noon by Earl Caldwell, aged about 18, just outside of Lin colnton. Caldwell, Rogers and his brother had been I hunting and were returning. Alphonse Rogers, brother of the one killed, was walking a few steps in front of the oth ers and he states that he heard his brother tell Cald well to shut his mouth. Cald well answering that he would not do so. He then heard the click of a gun being cocked and turned around. Cald well was holding the end of his gun barrel agatnst tho left side of his brother. Cald well fired and Rogers fell dead with hardly a gasp. The gun used was a 16-gauge. Rogers was a young man of peaceable disposition. Cald well is little known here. Mrs. Caldwell, the mother of Earl, is almost completely prostrated with grief. The boy was taken into custody pending the coroner s inquest.

Northern Chesterfield, western Union, eastern Cabarrus and western Stanly constitute a vast territory largely without railroad develope- ment. Add to this southern and northern Union county, and there lies defore you a section cf rich country that would richly support a nortnern and southern line of road from Jefferson, S. C, to Monroe, thence by Mt. Pleasant and ou to Salisbury and ultimate ly to Winston. Such a line would give Monroe connection with all of the three other great systems mentioned above and result in untold development of the oountry through which it would pass. The Jefferson and McBee road, now operating twen ty mtiea from a point on the Sea board to Jefferson, forms the nucleus upon which may be con structed a road that would broad en the horizon to Monroe, hold out the hope of revolutionary progress, and carry to the sections above mentioned their only chance of railroad facilities . The Jeffer son and McBee has been reorgan ized, stripped of entanglements and in the hands of people who are willing and anxious to bring it to Monroe, thence to Mt. Pleas ant and some poiut on the South ern, all of which upper country is always ready to extend the glad hand to the enterprise. Monroe Journal. WANTED! Hickory Nuts, Scaley Barks, Large Walnuts.

Cattle Ticks Lessen Yield of Beef and Milt A cattle tick that has reached the engorged stage weighs about 5 grains, and about 1,500 such ticks weigh a pound . As cattle in the tick region often carry many thousand of these blood -sucking parasites, and as each tick during the period of its attachment to an animal draws con?ideiably more than its own weight in blood, it can be seen that these ticks constitute an enormous drain on the cattle which they in fest. Ihis accounts for the fact that under such condi- tions it is impossible to fat ten cattle even on rich Dasture and with an abundance of good feed. A large part of the nourishment that should go toward producing beef and milk is consumed by the ticks. In addition to the loss of blood and nourish ment there is the neverr-ceas-ing irritation caused by the ticks, so that the existence of the infested cattle is beset with continuous suffering, and this of course also tends to keep them in poor condi tion. The shrinkage in the milk production of a cow harbor ing many ticks will average one quart a day, and the loss occasioned thereby at 3 cents a quart for the 875,000 ticky dairy cattle out of more than A rnr rrr 1 1 a 1 ,uuu,uvu Deiow ine quaran tine line would amount to $26,250 a day. Counting 300 milking days for each cow to the year would make a loss from this cause $7,875,000 per annum.
