CESSEKGER - INTEELLIGKCER. WADES BORO, N. C, FBB. 10, 1898, JAS. G. BOYLIN, Publisher. Adolph A. Luetgert the Chicago sausage maimer, was last night con victed of the murder of his wife and sentenced to life imprisonment Lnetgert received the verdict with a laugh. Within the last few days several senators have introduced resolutions urging immediate action on the part of the United States in in teafering in the Cuhan war. The discussion in the senate on these resolutions has been very warm and it begins to look as if the administration will be forced t& interfere in the struggle in be half of Cuba. Senor Dupuy de Lome, the Spanish minister to : the United States is in hot water. .The "insur gents have captured a letter from him to a friend. in Cubain which he speaks of President McKinley as "a lew politician, who desires to stand well with the jingoes of his party Since the publication of the letter de-Lome has. resigned, but as yet his resignation has not been accepted by his government. - Behold lie has His Reward. Raleigh News and Observer. The Wadesbobo Messexgeb and Intelligences, in announcing the new postmasters appointed in Anson county says that Mrs. Emma E. Odom has been appointed P. 1L at McFarlan. It goes on to say that, "Mrs. Odom is the wife of State Sen ator W. H. Odom." Odom? It seems that we have heard that name before. A glance at the proceedings of the last State Senate discloses the face that W. H. Odom was a member of that body elected as a populist; that he Toted with the goldbugs, for Jeter C. Pritchad for senator and for that act was denounced by every honest populist in his district; afterwards voted with the republicans against resolutions instructing the senators to vote for the principles upon which the democrats and - populists agreed m the campaign of 1896; and, although his party had de clared in state convention against the lease, he betrayed his party on that a3 he.had done on silver. On February 27th,. reviewing the lease fight the News and Observer said: ; "During -the recess Senator Odom entered the office of Col. A. B. An drews and was closeted there behind closed blinds. It was seen of men and he, too, voted in the afetrnoon to grant the request of Carolina's Cor-, iolanus." In the local column, the News and Observer on the same day said: "A big crowd was gathered at the Yarborough at the time mentioned, and when Senator Odom arose and walked hastily through the back en trance into Col. Andrews's office, it created a ripple of wonder and ex citement among a dozen or more who were observing his movements. When five minutes later hereturned and took in through the same back entrance Senator Early, it created just a little sensation. "An hour later the first vote was taken on the lease bill. On this vote the Colonel's two visitors voted "nay,? On the pas sage of the substitute, Senator Odom voted "aye." Keep your eyes on the niuteeen Populist members of the Legislature who vote for Jeter C. Pritchard and the two or three others who were ready to dp so if necessary. In order to do that they had to betray the chief principles of their party. Each and every one of them will receive the price of his treachery, D. Keid Parker was paid by a place as Insti tute conductor; Fagan by a place, in the Railroad Commission office; Mc Caskey jby a position as .superinten dent of a penitentiary farm; Brown by a job under Marshal II. C. Dockery; Wakefield in the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue at Asheville; and Odom gives his wife a position as postmaster. Most of the rest of them are either in place, are waiting under promises, or have the thirty pieces of silver, as the price of their betrayal. The papers say that Wakefield, of Caldwell, has already gone to Asheville to get his place. He has a record that the world shall know! IIOX. 11 AS. II. MABTIX ACTS QIERELY.

The following special dispatches from Washington to the Charlotte Observer, anent the mental condi tion of Representative Charles II Martin,'explain themselves : Washington, Feb. 7. Just pre viouB to the adjournment of the House to-day Representative Martin of the Charlotte district, was found in the lobby wildly gesticulating and declaiming with some vehemence an imaginary speech. He attracted the attention of the pages, who were at first amused and then alarmed. The incident was reported to the Speaker, who called Representative bkinner 8 attention to it. When he reached him, he found Mr. Martin somewhat composed. He had been in the lobby since 10 o'clock writing a speech. He had written four pages, but further than saying that the subject of it was a most momen tous question, he declined to answer any qnestiou touching it. He left the capitol about 5 o clock and has not been seen since. He rooms at 112 C street, Northeast, and at 11 o'clock to-night he had not returned to his lodgings. A visit to the Sal vation Army headquarters failed to discover his whereabouts and some anxiety is expressed about his move ments. Mr. Martin Turns Up. Washington, Feb. 8S The fail ure to locate Representative Martin last night after his eccentric-perfor manee in the House-lobby yesterday, was due to the stupidity of his loug ing house keeper o two Populist Ropresntatives and two newspaper men who called for him during the morning, the positive statement was made that Mr, Martin had not returned to the house since he left in the early forenoon. Mr. Martin, according to the clerk's statement to-day, was in his room all evening, having- retired about 8 o'clock. He went from the Capitol to his room, and his clerk, Mr. Maynard, says he observed nothing unusal in his manner. He left his room about 11 o'clock to-day, saying he was go ing to the capitol, but did not make his appearance there up to the hour of adjournment. He was induced, by some sort of coercion, to go to the House to vote on the Teller resolu tion on the 31st of January, but has not. been in his seat sincer His Clerk Vouches lor His Sanity. Washington, Feb. 8. The re port that something is wrong with Representative Charles H. Martin is absolutely false.' He is perfectly sound, bodv and mind. A. A. Maynard, M. D. AST INTERESTING SUIT. Litigation Over the Refusal of Silver as Legal Tender Pro gressing. - Detroit, Feb.6 Fred A. Baker, a prominent attorney of Detroit, has filed an answer to a suit brought against him in the Oakland county eir euit court, involving the constitution ality of the. Bland-Allison act and other laws pertaining to silver as a le gal tender. Stephen Baldwin tendered Mr. Ba ker 364 silver dollars and asked for the cancellation of the mortgage. Mr. Baker refused to surrender the mortgage for the 364 silver dollars, bat agreed to cancel it if he received enough silver dollars to equal at the present bullion value of silver 364 gold dollars. This condition was de clined by Mr. Baldwin, and he filed a suit in equity,asting for a decree com manding Mr. Baker to cancel the mortgage in view of the tender made. ": In the answer, Mr. Baker submits that under the power "to coin money, regulate the value thereof, and oE for eign coins, and fix standard of weights and measures," the congress of the United States has no more authority or power, as far as preexisting contracts for the payment o money are concern-. ed, to diminish or increase the number of grains of pure gold or pure silver in the dollar in which a contract has been lawfully expressed, than it has as ti pre-existing contracts to change the number of grains in an ounce or tho number of ounces in a pound or the number of inches in a foot or feet in yard or to change any other standard o weights or measures." Several of the leading attorneys of Detroit are interested in the case. Ewart's Confirmation Again Held Up by Butler. Washington Feb 7. Senator Butler, of North Carolina, went be fore the Senate committee on judic iary to-day, with a-request for the postponement of final consideration of the nomination of Hon. Hamilton G. Ewart, to be judge of the western district of that State, untill he could have opportunity for the formula tion of charges that he will make against Mr. Ewart. He did not make known the character of the charges he will make, beyon d stating that Mr. JSwart was not of a judicial temperament,' and that he was not a lawyer of sufficient standingto en title him to the distinction sought to be conferred upon him. In obedience to this request, the consideration of the nomination was postponed. Electric Bitters.

"Thinker" Writes About Pois oning Wild Geese and Work lug In Factories on Sauday He Also Gives Several Lilesville Blews Items. "Elic Sanders is dead" was the sad news that flashed over the wires, from Hocking bam, a litte more than a week ago. It bad been' but a short while since bis son "Will," died, and now comes the news that he, too, is dead. Elic was the eldest living son of Rev. Ben Sanders, and was the only one of four brothers who entered the Con federate army to get back home alive. Soon after the war he went west where he mar ried Miss Louisa Mann, and lived for sey eral years. . After which he returned to his native land, bringing bis family with him and settled near the old home, where his father has lived so long. Two or three years ago be moved to Richmond county near-Rock inghara, and now. he and bis two sons have "fallen asleep." . Our promise that you should hear from us ere this was broken because of a pro tracted case of neuralgia and, since parting with a favorite tooth, there still is left "an aching void." But here we go, writing, frowning and dreading to go and have Dr Gray shake us up again. This, it seems will have to be done before we can "Look out and smile again." . It is our disposition to be something of a sportsman, and if our "tooth" was perfect ly easy, I am sure I would fret any way. because we have just heard of the whole sale killing of wild geese, with poisoned corn, on the Richmond side of the river. It is said that one man put out three bushels soaked in strychnine, to kill the geese for eating his wheat. This southland, blessed as it is with so many advantages; kissed, as it is, by southern sun, would not be what nature has made it were it hot for the rivers and streams that flow through it. Beauty and grandeur are added to these by the fish that swim beneath, and the fowls that fly above, theirs water. The wild geese come along with the cold wintry "weather, and what a pleasure to hear their musi cal voice,- after the summer bjrds have flown, and just to think that any one should so far forget himself as to engage in a wboleale slaughter like this is something we can't quite understand. But it seems that some will be, or do, almost anything for a little gain. But guess we had better not "fling off" too heavy on these reported geese killers of lower Richmond for fear they "fling back" by saying, "set yourselves.nght on the Anson side. That killing geese in ones wheat patch is nothing to compare with the report that you work people at your cotton mill on Sunday, and if a hand refuses because he don't feel well,and wants to go to church, you drive him away home less and penniless." See? Those people over there are well up on factory rules, too, and they might haul us over the coals about the report that. 'the whistle blows irregularly sometimes." But they couldn't make anything out of that. Of course, pious men pay the poor children extra for the "fifteen , or twenty minutes gained during the day." There are very few men in or around Lilesville but what are farmers and they are making good use ot the pretty weather doing field work. More plowing, by far, has been done by this time than we have seen for years. One fellow, who was try- tig to get help to repair his chimney that had fallen down, said: "Folks wont stop for anything. I believe they are trying to make a crop by March." The white public schools- at Lilesville' Forestville, Gum Springs, Savanah, Fall Branch and Ilorne's school house are now in full blast, uuder the management of Misses Corinne Home, Stella Clarke, Effie Knolts, and Messrs.

Miss Bessie Bryan has returned to her home in Tenuessee, after spending quite awhile at the home of Dr. Beckwith. We see the political watrers are moving, and we feel quite sure that at the next election a white wave will sweep over this good land of ours. Thinker. - Tribute of Kespect. Departed this life.in this nlace.at'her resi dence, on the nishtof December 26. Mrs. Eliza Jane Watkins, aged 85 yeirs Though her health for a long while had been very feeble, yet her departure seemed almost sudden, as it was only that day that she had taken her bed, and the announcement that she been called away was indeed star tling. For years she had been the "last leaf." all her brothers and sisters having nre- ceededher to the spirit land. For quite awhile had she been impressed with the belief that her emancipation from the sor row and trials of earth was near, and she loved to speak of it. Her conversation showed that she estimated this world and everything pertaining to it only as can oue upon whom is falling the light from Deyond. Her house was "in order." her "lainn trimmed and burning," and she was ready to welcome the bride-groom. , Therefore be it resolved: 1st. That her peaceful exit has afforded another evidence of the power of the grace of Christ and left to her loved ones, yet so journing here, the only solid comfort one can have in the hour of bereavement. 2nd. That in her call to her heavenlv home, suffering humanity has sustained a loss, as she felt deeply for the needy ami was ready to comfort by deeds.as well as by words, not only those living in her reach. but the suffering in India and Armenia have felt the effects of her Christ-like com passion. 3rd. That we extend to those bereaved ouisjieartfelt sympathy and commend them to tne grace ot Him, who during His stay on earth showed how deeply and kindly He could feel for the sorrowing, and who alone can soothe the aching heart. 4th.

A stylish dude from Anson ville, leading a blind tiger, paid his respects to one of our fairest damsels some time ago, and to press his suit he told her if she would have him he would buy her a baby, carriage. Tbe manner in which that dude left town will be long remembered by him. ' A wishful 3'oung man below here, whose sweet heart lives across the river, decided to pay her a visit the other night. His horse fell down in the river and ducked him under the ice. But he braced his cour age and went on. When the darling of his heart entered the room and saw a wet spot on one of the parlor r chairs, he was so drawed up with cold she took-bim to be one of her little brothers and pulled him across her lap and administered one of her mother's slippers in rapid succession, and told him to "git," and he "got" as far as the woods and attempted to hang himself, but his weight was not sufficient to break bis neck.

Atlanta Special to St. Louis Post-Dispatch The scheme for the foundation of gigantic cotton trust to include cotton planters, as well as speculators in that important commodity, is likely to be successful. It was foretold two month ago, while the convention was in ses sion in Atlanta. A plan was then forming to reduce the acreage and production so as to increase the price of cotton in the.United States. While every dealer in cotton, raw or manufactured, is in sympaty with the project, it is desirable to enlist" the sympathies of the interests in the cot ton growing districts as well, and with this view an effort is being made to procure the co-operation of Represen tatives in Congress from the cotton states- With this object in view, Price McCormao & Co., of New York, have for several weeks been in correspon dence with Senators and Congress men, urging them to become members of the advisory committee of an or ganization to be known as the Ameri can Cotton-Growers' Protective Asso ciation. The largest cotton crop ever produc ed in this country was in the season of 1S04 '93. when it- reached 9,837,000, while the smallest cotton crop -during the past ten years was 6,064,000 bales, in 1S92 '93.. The price of. cotton then went up to and above 12 cents. At presert with a total crop in sipht of 8,432,903 bales, the price is down to 5. 09, the lowest point reached in the past fen years. . It is planned to put into use the best methods of cultivating the crop at the least cost, control tbe quantity raised. and thereby increase the price of it. A Pistol Dael in Xewheru. Raleigh Cor.
