Senntcr Overman, W 'liter Murph;, Stable Linn, R. Lee Wright, Wh'ts bead Kluttz and others. Ivvf ry patriotic citizen who believe? in Peace and Prosperity for his be loved nation and who apprec'ates the wise legislation in the interest of hu manity enacted by our great Presi dent Woodrow Wilson and a Demo cratic Congress should show his col ors by joining in this '' ig demonstra tion :n the interest of good govern ment and the perpetustor of our free institutions as intoned by the fram- ers ct our liberty. THE T(;ht is won says PKESIDEN i . Krom Long Branch the Pres- ' ident has sent this final word ' to the party workers. The ' telegram was sent to every " state and county chairman in the country: ' "I thank you heartily for the splendid work done by you and 1 by all the workers in the cause ' of progressive principles at is- sue in this campaign. "The light is won, I fully be- lieve; though I take this means of urging you to renewed exer- tions and vigilance to see that belated efforts to confuse the public judgment do not succeed. "Our country is prosper- otis, secure and happy; and its prosperity is upon' a sound bisis. Steps to protect our commerce and industry in any emergency after the European war ends have been taken. The anti-dumping clause of the so called war revenue act provides the executive with ample power to prevent the 'dumping' of Eu ropean surplus manufacturers upon our markets. "The tariff commission will shortly be appointed and at work to provide the facts wtaich '--will'" vletemme what other legislation is necessary or desirable. I need not add that the federal reserve act is a guarantee against panics and that the Federal Trade Com mission will aid, as it already has helped ,to preserve the stability of our domestic and foreign commerce. "I am confident that the time has passed in America when votes can be bought, the ballot box defiled by corrupt practices, or the judgments of the American people determin ed or influenced in any way by the use of money. It is how ever our duty to take every precaution, lest conscienceless agents of the sinister forces working on opposition to pro gressive principles and popular government resort in their des peration to industrial coercion or to the evil and insidious practices of a decade and more ago." rzr: - 1 4 I ' , '( ff rtoitWiLSONS TtTiv.r -Hlsm mr $TH 3tcMisE He. has I Rrovuse v. i Wll flNQ S me tos M yjjTep To n won ' vrU fllUWUMeV , r. .w.-A I Er now. or J m tub.

Some days ago Sergeant B. F. Cauble, of I the local police force, ascertained that i a man said to be Fuller was in Foun i tain Inn, South Carolina, and he re I ccived a telegram from W. H. Jer i ningan, chief of police of that (place, i stating that Fuller had ibeen arrested and was being held awaiting the ar rival of a Salisbury officer. Police man Arthur Harrison was dispatched ta the South Carolina town and re turned last night with Fuller and he is now in ja'l and will probably be given a preliminary hearing Friday of this week. Fuller, who was brnployed at the jras plant at the time, killed his wife on Christmas eve, 1!06, the tragedy taking place on East Council street, 'n a restaurant, the shack having been torn away several years ago to make room for modern store building. The man shot his wife in the mouth and made a successful escape. Eye wit nesses to the affair are living and are in easy reach of the officers. When Policeman Harrison started to leave Fountain Inn with Fuller he saw evidences of whBt appeared to be trouble brew'n? but what turned out all right. When he 'boarded the train at Fountain Inn there were some twenty or more negroes to get on, some carrying axes as though they were going to engage In wood chap ping. In this crowd was a brother of Fuller. The South Carolina chief said he didn't like the looks of affairs and cautioned the officer in charge of Ful ler Ho play safe. But this was not necessary for Officer Harrison always coes this. He thereore chained the prisoner to the seat so as to have both of his hands free in any emer gency. He then made the negroes get in the forward end of the car and rested easier, and the trip provrd nn eventful. When the train reached the po'nt where the party of negroes was to leave it those who knew the prisoner, including his brother went back and shook hans with him and no trouble of aavkind was experienced on the trip home.
