Fomer Senator Butler was to be the principal speaker. I was there at the appointed hour, in a safe place for .note-taking. There was nothing unusual about the pow-wow, for it looked very much like many others held in the state about that time. Having a weakness for "mankind I is understood he has frozen the roots not can yet certain. Congress alone declare war.

As my eyes scanned the crowd they fell on one of the oddest human beings I ever came upon in North Carolina. The moment I saw him my curiosity gave such a wallop that I fear I did not do the speech of the occasion justice. In front of the speaker's stand, with a time and travel worn slouch hat in his hand, stood a man in beard barefooted and turned-up "trousers. As I recall it the weather was cold, almoset biting too frosty for bare feet. Yet, the man who arrested my attention, seemed comfortable and satisfied. "Who is the queer looking chap drinking in the speech with open mouth and closed eyes?" I whispered to a resident of Anson county. "That is Col. Buck Newton, of Lilesville," responded my neighbor. "He used to be a rampant democrat, but is now a republican because re publicans and populists have the of fices, the money and the barrooms." That was my first glimpse of Buck Newton, a rare character of the Pee irate engineer, opening his i.ui.oitb. "Well, you fool you, wiiat did you stop for if you had no tobacco," add ed Buck. The cotton buyers of Wadesboro, most of whom stood about the "square" in front of the courthouse, egged on Buck until he began to worrythem by sticking around. Finally somebody cooked up a joke on him, and sent him out of town. Pretending to read from a paper one of the cotton buyers said: "Red Buck left today for Wadesboro, where he will get the scalp of his adversary, Col. Buck Newton. He took with him a lot of corn stalks, pulled ud bv the root with the dirt left on, and, it STOMACH Gall Stones, Cancer and Ulcers of the Stomach and Intestines, Auto-Intoxication, Yellow Jaundice, Appendici tis and other fatal ailments result from Stomach Trouble.

I just tell you, it would be a shame if that husky fellow should come down here and beat Buck to death before any of us could stop him." Colonel Newton had heard this talk about me from the outer circle of the ring of cotten men. Without much ado he reached up, lifted off his hat and said: "Well, gentlemen, this is a mighty pleasant town, and it has some fine people, but I must be going; I have been here too long already. Goodbye! I will see you all again." An hour later a Wadesboro boy met Buck four miles south of there, running like a race horse, and never went back for weeks. Months later, when the promoters of the duel had forgotten it, I ran ! face to face with Colonel Newton at the "Tammany Hall of Wadesboro" the insurance office of Messrs. Mar shall and Little, and was introduced to him. The Colonel was very ill at ease for a few minutes until Mr. Mar shall asked me if I would agree to stop the hght.

And that would be "go ing some," in the language of the street, for The Enterprise. The New York World says: Nineteen years ago Congress gave extraordinary power to President McKinley, and did it by a unanimous vote of both the House and the Sen ate. It adopted a bill providing that There is hereby appropriated out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the national defense ,and for each and every purpose connected therewith, to be expended at the discretion of the President, and to remain available until Janu ary 1, 1899, 50,000,000. President McKinley was a Republi can, the Senate and House were Re publican, but not a Democratic Sen ator or Representative hesitated to place this money and this power in the hands of President McKinley to be used at his discretion. There should be as little hesitation now a bout giving to President Wilson the .money and power that he has re quested. And yet here has been hesitation a.:d worse. There are enemies in the Congress of the United States. One or two of them are said to be Demo crats. And there are alleged loyal American citizens who have uttered strange sentiments during these cri tical times. Because the President is a Democrat, there are men who pre fer to be anything but loyal and pa triotic in their feelings; who brazen ly express their wish that the Presi dent come to grief, even though it involve the country with him. Our supply of asbestos print paper is ex hausted, but we believe that most folks will agree that it would require asbestos to print a proper descrip tion of such men. We have been as tounded at expressions we have heard that some of our own people who hap pen to differ with the President poli tically, have made. If they were to follow out such sentiments they would be in arms against their own land if war were, to come. But this (is their open season for free utter jance. It will be the closed season for them if hostilities really commence. 1 GERMANY COMMITS THE "OVERT ACT."

The small boats with survivors pitch ed about during the long hours of the night until rescue came. During this time, the two American women, Mrs. Mary E.

No further facts are needed by this government, it was stated officially, and no inquiry of any sort is neces sary to establish the facts of the case. Both white house and state depart ment officials seem to feel that the answer must come from congress. The president, they point out, asked for authority to take stpes to pre vent just such an act at the very mo ment when the first news was com ing over the cables. Naval officers are puzzled by the fact that the Laconia was torpedoed at night. It has been an accepted condition of submarine warfare here tofore that the u-boats were hamp ered by darkness and that ships in open waters were in little danger at night.
