From West While Away
COfJLillijO MEET
Wi'l Consider Matter of Eligibility
of Democratic Electors With Kef-
, ; erence' to Senatorial Primary
Woodrow Wilson Committees to
Meet Tomorrow Joint . Canvass
Between Settle and Craig Vn-Ukrty.
Chairman Cbas. A. Webb return
ed to Raleigh today from Ashcville,
where he spent several days, and
will be on band for the meeting; in
the senate chamber tomorrow night
of the state executive committee.
Mr. Webb found everything in good
condition in the west and reports
from many counties was to the ef
fect that the democrats could not
hone for better prospects. Both Mr.
Craijg 'nd Governor Winston are
drawing large crowds In the moun
tains and enthusiasm is increasing
for Wilson and Craig.
Asked whether he thought the
iftate committee would authorize a
Joint canvass between Mr. Craig and
Mr Settle, Chairman Webb said he
had no means of knowing and could
not speak for the committee. He
did not express an opinion on thu
uuhject.
Other democrats, however, are of
the opinion that a Joint canvass is
not desirable Discredited as the
republican party Is, the mooting of
Mr. Crale and Mr SpHIp wnnlrl
nerve only to draw crowds for the
republican candidate, who cannot
hope to speak before large audiences.
Democrats do not appear to want to
tiee their nominee engaged in a joint
dlSCUSslon With thn arivnrata nf Ha.
uor, an issue thar was decided by
the voters -without regard to poli
tics, and it is not probable that the
state committee will ask Mr. Craig
to meet Mr. Settle. Mr. Craig has
lert the matter with the committee.
There Is no a gamer or finer speake'
In the state than he and as a result
large audiences are bearing him dis
cuss Ibsum that will bo a part of an
administration looking toward thf
betterment of all the people.
For Woodrow Wilson.
The press and finance committees
of the Woodrow Wilson campaign
in this state will meet in the Yar
borough tomorrow for the purpose
rt arousing more interest In the
work of financing the national cam
palgn. North Carolina will give
Governor Wilson a large majority as
a matter of course, and It is hoped
that thousands of good democrats
will contribute to the campaign fund.
The stato committee tomorrow
night will consider the requirements
of a democratic elector with refer
ence to the senatorial primary.
There is one minor point, that of
. how much: scratching shall he per
mitted, to come up for consideration

WILSON SAYS STEEL
TRUST WOULD BENEFIT
Minneapolis, ' Sept. .18.-A busy
day here and at St. Paul was the
outlook for Governor Wilson, demo
cratic presidential candidate, when
he arrived from Sioux Falls, S. D,
this morning. Three addresses will
be made here and the governor then
goes to St. Paul, where he makes his
principal address tonight.
How the United States Steel Cor
poratlon incidentally would benefl
by the progressive party plank pro
posing the regulation of trusts by a
federal commission was argued by
Governor Wilson in his speeches. Ho
explained the method of regulatlo
was proposed by George W. Perkins
at the steel trust Inquiry of the
house ' of - representatives. He ilo
dared It would save the steel cor-
. poratlon from the ''necessity of do-
lng its business better tnan its com
petltors. He declared the corpora
tion was less efficient than Its com
Detitors and its control of produc
was Increasing only In those
branches of business whereby pur
chase and otherwise they they have
a practical monopoly. l'I have this
to tav to the worklngham. Carry
out that plan and you will have

Ed. M. Horton In Rex Hos
pital Posse Searching
For Faison
Mr. Ed. M. Horton, who was
struck over the head with a cant
hook at a sawmill near Zcbtilon late
yesterday afternoon, was brought to
Rex Hospital today by Dr. G. M.
Bell so that the Injured man might
have the host of attention. !n the
meantime a posse is Still scouring
the country around Zebulon for Mi
nor Faison, a negro, who Is charged
with the offense.
It was not possible to say this af
ternoon whether Mr. Horton would
recover. ' He was hit over the head
with a cant hook used at sawmills
and the skull probably fractured. Tie
was conscious when brought to Ru-
leigh and was sleeping this after
noon under the influence of opiates.
His condition Is regarded as critical.
It is said that Abner Faison wns
mad with Mr. Horton because Mr.
Horton had ordered him to do some
work at the mill two weeks ago.
Faison yesterday approached Mr.
Horton unexpectedly, it is said, and
dealt him a blow with the cant hook.
The negro fled Into the woods and a
posse started in pursuit.
The search continued today and,
from Information received at the
sheriff's office, the feeling is strong
against the assailant. By some vio
lence is feared.
Deputy Sheriff T. B. Daniel, of
Kniglitdale, this afternoon brought

Football
With slit of "'last year's varsity
men back and several of the scrubs
working: for places and with a lot
of new talent to select from, pros
pects for a winning football team at
A. and M. College this fall are as
rosy as any follower of the fortunes
of this Institution could wish. The
team will average 170 pounds, the
line being unusually strong. It is
believed ' before the first scrimmage
of the season that the line will aver
age at least 180 pounds, and the
backfield 170.
Coach E. L. Green has fifty-five
men working hard every afternoon
getting In Hhape for a good schedule
of games later on. Cool, last year's
quarter, is captain of the team; N.
8. Lachicotte Is manager and W. T.
Shaw 'and L. W. Jewell are assistant
managers.
Under the new rules, which are
not much dlfforent from the rules of
1908, weight and speed will count,
and these two elements the eleven
seems to possess in large propor
tions. Although the men have been
practicing for a week, little sore
ness of limbs has developed, and the
boys have more pep for this season
of the year than was possessed by
former teams, it Is said. The work
is necessarily light because of the
warm weather, but by the end of
the week Coach Green expects to
have the lines pitted against each
other. Tho men have been divided

WATER PLANT WILL
CLOSE DOWN AGAIN
The Wako Water Company serv
ed notice again today through Re
ceiver Grimes that the plant would
be shut down from 9 o'clock tonight
until 5 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The water was cut off during this
period last night, and as a result
some headway was made In collect
ing a supply of water.
It seemed this afternoon that na
ture would come to the relief of the
company and there might yet be
mucn rain on the water-shed.
Walnut creek Is very low at pres
ent. Yesterday afternoon at six
o'clock It was about eighteen Inches
below the level of the top of tho log
which forms the little dam at the
Intake. In other words the water
at the intake, where this log Is Doit
ed to the ledge of stone, was only
about six Inches deep and was quite
clear. No rain has fallen recently
anywhere on the water-shed of this
stream and the drought has been
specially severe upon It. As has
been stated frequently, there ts ab
solutely no storage reservoir on the
stream, and to the failure to prompt

ter's troubles and those this summer
are entirely due.
