Stock Law. - , We learn that some of the advo ! cates of the 'extension of the stock law nad a conference atLockviJle, a f ew days ago, and decided' to urge the meeting, that will be held here next Monday, to peti tion for the extension of tbepres ent stock law territory so as to include all of Centre, Oakland, New Hope and Cape Fear town ships. Uy such an extension all the present stock law fences in those townships will be removed and the only fence to be built will be a short fence along the Moore county line, south of Oakland township, and even that may not be necessary. Such an extension will establish the stock law in all of this county, except in a part of Bear Creek township, and no new fence will be required there. Many persons are now favoring this extension of the stock law who have heretofore been oppos ed to it. The petitions for this extension must be signed by a majority of all the land owners residing in the four townships, and persons in each of those four townships will be appointed to get signatures. No new legisla tion will be asked for, but the ex tension will be made under the act passed for this county in 1901. While it will be necessary for only those land owners in those four townships to sign these peti tions, yet all the land owners in the county are interested in this extension because thereby they will be relieved of the present stock law tax, which amounts to over one thousand dollars a year.- A Distinguished Chathamite. Washington, Nov. 24. In the event of the defeat of Congress man Joseph iixou for the seat in the United States Seu;:te occupied by W. A. Clark, of luontana, tht- statenient is made on what is con sidered good authority that the President will appoint him com missioner of the l.tud ofiioe. Mr. Dixon is not obto'l the sen atorial contest by anv means, but lorn Carter and tueold-liii Mon tana Ilepublicau-s are tiyiug hard to defeat Anm, and 4u that1 event the President will most likely put him in charge of the land oflice. Mr. RooseVelt has a might v high opinion of Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon was born and reared in Chatham countv, being a son of the late Hugh W. Dixon, of that part of Albright township which was given to Alamance by the Fusion Legislature in 1895. Ed. Record. r The Youngest Senator. Louisville (Ky.) Correspondence of The Philadelphia Record.

Special to News and Observer. Boon Hill, N. C, Nov. 21. Mr. Clingman Storie, while driving a yoke of cattle do svn a steep hill, lost control of them. They ran off, caught him under the vagon and as a result one ot nis arms was broken, and one of his legs crush ed below the knee, to say nothing of other bruises about the body. He has been delirious much of the time since the accident occur red, and much uneasiness is mani fested by his family and friends. Swept Cartridge in Fire. Special to Mews and Observer. Spencer, N. U., Nov. 2G. Mrs. W. Li.

Her wound is not consider ed serious. . All kinds of queer things hap pen, but one of the strangest is a complaint which a Wake county oincial received from a farmer re garding the building of a fine macadam road through the farm er's territory. The latter said that the road was a great nuis ance because it wore out the shoes of his horses much faster than an ordinary dirt road. Mr. L. Banks Holt, of Graham, continues to recover from the ter rible wound inflicted by a negro on the night of the 6th inst. It was an almost miraculous escape from instant death. ' ' Cap1;.

She is bay colored, one fore-leg larger than the other, medium size and 15 years old. J. T. White, " The Stock Law. MrEditoK:, We think your stock law article in last week's issue might have read, "We are requested by Mr. Jno. W. Taylor to announce the stock law meeting." The territory which claims to have recently voted stock law on themselves we hear were told they would not have to build the fence. We suppose they in tended forcing we anti-stock law people under stock law and not allow us the privilege all others have had. This would be a very mean and low down spirit. We don't think fair minded reasonable citizens, those who do to others as they would be done by, will have anything to do with -this move. (Those now living in stock law). If we want stock law we can get it within ourselves. We suppose those liv ing under stock law who want to cast. 4 vote to put us in, think we are not capable of attending to our business and need them as our guardians, .or else they are willing to take our privileges from us- We wonder if the editor of The Record would sign a peti tion to this effect? He claims The Record to use its best endeavors to promote the best interests of its readers or supporters. We are sorry The Record laid such stress on the great sum of stock law tax to be collected, 5 cents on the $100 worth of land. Why didn't The Record stir the people when their taxes were from 7 to 10 ; cents on the $100 worth of land? How do we account for the re cent move for stock law? 'We think the territory which recently ! six men are drowned. Facts later voted on stock law don't want to j will probably increase the casual-, build their fence. Shame be on ties. . . '. . . .

Last Saturday night about 11 o'clockvErnest, the nineteen-year- oia son iu.r. v. o. j-tjiupit;, wuu lives a lew miles from Sanford, fell out of a tree and broke his back. It is the most distressing accident that has occurred in this community in years, an d tiu- ouug m-riij lias me siucnesi pray ers of every one for his recovery Mr. 'i'empie, with his younger brother and several other boys of the same neighborhood, were out 'possum hunting. After they had been hunting for an hour or two the partv broke up and the Temules started home. ; Before reaching home the dogs "treed something and the "older of the brothers climbed the tree, a limb of which broke- causing- him to fall to the ground. The lower part of his body is paralyzed and al though he is in a critical condi tion it is hoped that he will re cover. In Time of Peace. In the first months of the Rus sia-Japan war we had a striking example of the necessity for pre paration and the early advantage of those who, so to speak, "have shingled their roofs in dry weath er." The virtue of preparation has made history and given to us our srreatest men. The individua as well as the nation should be prepared for any emergency. Are you prepared to successfully com bat the first cold you take? A cold can be cured much more quickly when treated as soon as it has been contracted and before it has become settled in the system Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is famous for its cures of colds and it should be kept at hand ready for instant use.

From the Industrial News. Nov. 25th. ' While standing near the door of her home not far from Pomona Miss Annie 5 Edmuhdson, the seventeen-year-old daughter ,of Dallas Edmundson, was accident ally shot and instantly killed yes terday afternoon by a gun in the hands of her brother, J ames Ed mundson, who was carrying the gun into the house. The young man,' who is about two years younger than his sister, had carried out the gun' to shoot a chicken and was returning it to the house, when the horrible ac cident occurred. Miss Edmundson was standing near the door when her brother entered. He was carrying the gun by his side and unconsciously-allowed it to strike the door. In stantly there was a report, and the entire charge struck the girl's head near the left eye, practically tearing off the left side of her head. ' Loss of MLife on the Lakes, Buffalo, Nov. 23.
