After the lawyers had concluded thei r argument, Judge Gcff instructed the jury to find a verdict of nou. guilty, and the case came to sudden end. Mr. Blackbun denied the charge of violating tho law and the prosecution failed to make out a case. We are glad that the case was tried strickly on its merits and that the Con gressnsan was acquitted. In this last round Blackburn has won a big victory of the Butler. Rollins, Holton combination. I; is predicted that his influence will be greatly increased in Washington and that he will se cure control of the State organi zition at the next Republican convention. But while Holton and the other leaders of bis faction have failed to convict Blackburn and destroy him politically, they had already accomplished the mam object for which the indictment was found. They got all tha officeholders, except Harkins, appointed and confirmed for another term while Blackburn was under a cloud, and there is little left for Blackburn to get for his followers. As the whole row is over the offices, we are not so sure that the organi zation crowd have not got the best of the fighting after all. The trial seems to have widened the breach in the Re publican ranks. In his speech to the jury in the Blackburn trial, ex-Judge W. P. Bynum. jr, himself a Republican, said: "The leaders of the Republican party are a band of political cut throats and pirates, forever standing with their hands in tho pockets of their countrymen." Chairman Rollins, in a letter to Bynum through the papers, a 1 1 1 m 1 inrows a 101 01 not stun back at Bynum, of which the following is a sample: . 1T . - iour statement is iaise and unwarranted and I feel that would not be doing my duty to myself or the party I have the iiuuur to represent, did 1 not resent your false and slanderous attack." Replying to this, Judge Bynu in says that in referring to the leaders of the Republican organi zition as cuttnroats and pirates, ne did not have one thought of Rollins, for he looks upon him as belonging to neither the leader nui buu raiiK and nie, out is merely a puppet in the hands of Marion Butler and a few others who seek to lead or mislead the Republican party in North Carolina. And Butler, who once tried to lead the Democratic party, whe later did lead the Populist party and is the acknowledged head o the Republican party of this State, is not allowing the men down in North Carolina to do all the mud-slinging. In a letter tc the meeting of the Republican league in Washington last Sat urday night, he said of Southern Republicans: "In more than a few States the leadership 01 the party has been in the hands of men who did not want the party to grow. They wanted it to grow smaller; they wanted their State to stay Democratic as to their State and local governments, and they wanted to have a small coterie oi men calling themselves the Re publican party who would control and dish out the Federal patron age among themselves." The opinions of these thre prominent Republicans of the other Republicans of North Carolina are quite interesting, It looks as if Butler is also about to give Rollins the kick. SENATOR OVERMAN HONORED. Senator Overman has been signally honored by his Demo cratic associates by being chosen to represent them in conferring with the President relative to the Railroad Rate bill. Senator Long oi iiarsas acts m this for the Republicans. capacity fceaators overman and Long have also been deputed to frame a bill based on the Hepbura House oil and tte various amendments that bav? been offered and discussed 1 the conflicting views and insure its passage. The task put upon Messrs. Overman and Long is a difficuit one, but it is hoped that thpy will succeed. Sena' or Overman is rising rapidly to leadership in the Senate. NOT ACTING AS UMPIRE. Our two Hickory contempor aries, The Democrat and The Mercury, have been indulging in nuite an animated discussion as to whether Mebane, the R publican superintendent of orinpat.inn in North Carolina of tho Dan Russell regime, was author of a certain school bill. We are not volunteering to un. pire this game, and are only butting in enough to remark thit any school bill by Mebane, if set in type and printed as wruter, would be a daisy. It would be valuable object lesson for all future superintendents and educators in general, wh?n writing cm the "Improvement in Public Education in North Caro Una Since the Beginning of the Twentieth Century." THE SAN FRANCISCO DISASTER. The great fire at San Francisco which started from the earth quake last Wednesday morning, was checked Friday night. Three-fourths of the city wa burned. The burned area is 2 by 3 miles, 4160 acres; thirty times the area of the Baltimore fire, It is estimated that 40,000 houses were destroyed, property loss $300,000,000, lives lost 1000 It was the greatest fire this country has ever had, far sur passing the Chicago fire of 1871, where about $175,000,000 of prop erty was destroyed, Tfee relief subscriptions have reached about $10,000,000, and money is flowing in to feed homeless ones. Plans for rebuilding the are already under way. the city MAIDEN SPLINTS. Broad Smiles on Many Faces. Good Reports at the Quarterly Conference. Correspondence of The Enterprise. April 24th 1906 Mr. Editc and readers of the "old re liable;" I will jot down a few items this morning to let yo all hear from this neck of the woods The health of onr community i generally good. Mrs. Johcston Burke, who lives a lew miles blow MaideD, we are sorry to hear 13 in a very critical condi tion. She is safiaring with gangrene in ner loot, it if feared that amputation will be necessary. Your correspondent is wearing a broad smile nowadays, he was the happy recipient of a fine boy on last Friday the 20th. He is another staunch Democrat of the oik Thomas Jefferson type, and I think is a strong believer in "special tax," as he has been taxing my patience to its utmost for the last few nights by keep ing me awake with the noise rendered by the specimens of tn humau fa oily. Mr. W. H. Fist. of Maiden is also wearing broad grin, his w a fine girl. Mr. Daniel Campbell, also was made to feel proud by the appaaran0 in his home, on last Friday, of a fine girl. it had been announced a 1 w weeks ago in your p iper, that the 2nd quarterly conference for the May's Chapel church Satur- aay ana ounaay tne zisc and 22nd inst.

April 24. 1906 Well, this is fine growing weather isn't it? Every thing is crp.ttinc crreen. Some of the nv " " farmers are done planting .cotton seed, and those that are not do le will get through this week if nnthincr haDDens. Some are about through planting coin All upland corn is planted in this section. The editor was putting the Mountain Creek colored farmers in the lead, I don't know so well about that, the colored folks in this section have got themselves in good shape, and are good farm ers, all own land, and all love to work. And most of them take the good old Enterprise. Well, I was at Catawba Satur day and found all the boys in fine glee, Most of the young folks went to the Lookout Saturday and had a picnic. They all re port having a nice time. Post master Harwell went and took his best girl. Look out! Mr, Register of Deeds, he is going to . iL! give you a po soon u morning breaks larger than a shoe string, Mr. John Herman was as busy as a bee in a tar bucket. He has got lots of nice things in his store; musical goods, cool drinks, warm drinks and fresh fish every Saturday on ice. All you Piney Woods folks that never get any fresh fish, you ought to go to Herman s every oaturday ann get you a mess of fish for Sun day. They will make you fell good, and always read th9 En terprise and keep posted on something good and fresh. Don't read stale news, it will do you harm. Well, I went into Mr. J, R, Cline's store. Mr. Ciine still holds the championship as best looking man at Catawba. He says the ladies all trade with him because he is the best looking man in town. Mr Cline has got lots of pretty things in his store, but the prettiest thing I saw while in there was his clerk, Miss Novella Leonard. She is as pret ty as red shoes, you bet. She is a daughter of Mr. Z. V. Leonard of Catawba, Catawba is wel blest with pretty girls, but the Springs girls are still in the lead for beauty. The reason Mr, J. H. Trollintrer has the finest hogs, he feeds them butter milk and apple pie. That is good rations for pigs, you bet. Mr, J. U. Long has a broad smile on his face, and grips you hand hard, and if you talk right, ne don t Jorge t to set up to ci gars. Mr. Long's head is always level. Mr, Long is a gentleman in every respect I had a good talk with the Ca tawba correspondent. He is still lively and full of jokes as ever. think he will shoot his gun soon. Then look out boys, he will make it hot for some of you. The Rev. Mr. Myers has about got his horseless buggy com. pleted. It will be something more to see a baggy running along the road without a horse hitched to it. Mr. Noah Kale and wife made a flying visit to the Springs Sun day evening with his family of little folks, five in number. Noah has resigned the office as mayor of the town of Catawba He cuts hair and shaves the pub lic and mends shoes. He guar antees all work to wear out, or money refunded. "There is so much bad in the best of us, and so much good in the worst of us, that it hardly behooves any of us to talk about the rest of us," Brother Hope, I don't belong to the Sunday scoooi, is tne reason 1 man t say we. Miss Pearl and Cordia Loftin visited the madam last waek. If you want a good paper, take the old reliable, the Enterprise, the favorite, $1.00 a year. ASK FOR LUCK. Plateau News, Platea. N.

We had a pleasant time, as he is a great talker. Wheat is looking very well in this section, considering -the quality of land. It seems to me there could be something got up to get the old soldiers together this summer, if it was only a foot race among themselves. Confederate sol diers in this neighborhood are gettiaglika Angel's visits, few and far between. Preaching commenced at PI- is going on yet. Mrs. W. L. Holshowser of M- Blowing Rock is visiMng parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Clampitt at Plateau. Died near here last Wedn day, Rev- Robert Helton, ae d 87 years.
