BUBO VOL. V. ASHEBORO, N. Cl THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1909. NO. 12. I , 1 1 - LPH BIILLETIIo THE POWER OF WATER. A Stream From a Fireman's Hose Will Knock a Man Down. When a man goes in swimming at the seashore and slaps the water forcibly with his hand, or takes a back dive from a pier and lands squarely on his back, he realizes that the unstable liquid offers not a iittle resistance. Yet says a writer in the New York Tribune, it would surprise al most anybody to see water water will do under certain conditions. A stream from a firemans hose will knock a man down. The jet form a nozzle used in placer mining in the West eats away a large piece of land in a day, toys with great holders as if they were pebbles, and would shoot a man over the country as though he were a projectile form a can non. There is a story of an Eastern blacksmith who went West and made a bet that he could knock a hole through the jet of one of these nozzles with a sledge ham mer. He lifted his arms, swung the sledge, and came down on the ten-inch stream that would have dented an anvil. But the jet i -1 1 1 3 J.1 never penetrated, wmsKeu me massive hammer out of the black smith's hands, and tossed it sev eral hundred feet away into the debris of gold-bearing gravel be neath a crumbling cliff. After this the blacksmith left out iron when he spoke of hard substan ces. - There is also a power plant nearDurango, Colorado, where a United States cavelryman thought he had an easy job in cutting a two-inch stream with his sword. He made a valiant attack the result was that his sword was shivered into peices and his wrist broken. A little thinner jet of water de cending sixteen hundred feet to a manufactory at Grenoble, Spain and traveling at the moderate speed of one hundred yards a second, fractures the best blades of Toledo. Of course some people will not believe such stories without hav ing seen the thing, and one may think it a proof of scientific ima gination to say that an inck-thick sheet of water, provided it had sufficient velocity would ward off bombshells as well as steel plate. Nevertheless, many persons, while traveling, have seen a breakman put a small hydraulic jack under one end of a pullman car and lift twenty tons or so by a few leisurly strokes of the pump handle; and the experi ence of riding every day in a hy draulic elevator tends to remove doubts of the magic power pos sessed by water hitched to a ma chine. "Famous Songs and Their History." No doubt you have heard some of these famous songs: "My Country 'Tis of Thee," "Hail Columbia," Home Sweet Home" and many others. Possibly you have often wondered as to how they originated, and what history was connected with each of these. The Philadelphia Press will tell you. They are featuring one of these old songs and hymns every Sunday, with its complete history They are intensely interesting, and lovers of music and people musically inclined should read these great articles, for they are valuable and educating. Read the Philadelphia Press every Sunday, or order at once from your newsdealer. IN DEFENCE of MR. COWLES The following letter from Mr. J. M. Proctor, of Salisbury, speaks for itself: "I have read a good deal in the Democratic press about the Hon. C. H. Cowles and his "Force bill" "reconstruction," "war meas ure," "Federal bayonets," can only come through grossest; ig norance of the real facts ; and then they all sing the same cho rus that Mr. Cowles is serving his last as well as his first term in Congress. What mighty seers and prophets these Democratic editors and some Washington correspondents are! v "They go so far as to say that Congressman Cowles has made himself obnoxious in the Eighth District, and quote as their au thority, that always prominent, but as often nameless Republi can. "Now, Mr. Editor, I carefully read the "Cowles Bill" when it was first published and if there is a single suggestion in it that even hints at the shadow . of a 'Federal bayonet' I'd like to have it clearly pointed out; further more I am satisfied that such a measure is needed, and in some sections needed quite badly. In fact a careful reading of the bill leads me to think that if the same course was followed by these Democratic editors that they, too, would applaud, and help Mr. Cowles to secure its pas sage. "The gist of the whole matter is that it would punish election officers and all others in author-ky-who, in any--manner,-iinlawi fully interfered with the rights, the legal rights of the voter, or seek to prevent that vote from being counted as voted, it has been further said that in this State there was no interference with the rights to vote as & Voter please. From actual experience I know this statement to be ab solutely untrue, forthe attempt was made right here in good old Rowan county last fall. At that time I called upon the attorney general of North Carolina .to see that the laws were enforced but what could he do? There is really no law to be enforced; there is no law which prescribes any punishment for attempting wrongs against a whole commun ity of as good people as our State affords. So I think our friends the enemy, need give themselves no anxious moments the sturdy citizenry of the Eighth will re turn Mr. Cowles to Congress in due time and season." Greens boro Daily News. Holton an Able Officer. United States District Attor ney A. E. Holton has been? much complimented by the press of the State as a result of his success in securing the conviction of Breeee and Dickerson in the Asheville bankwrecking case which was concluded last week after having been in progress for nearly five weeks. Holton is an indefaiga ble worker. Failure is not in his vocabulary if success can be won by any amount of tenacity and hard work. Other lawyers may be more brilliant but in point of industry he leads them all. When he fails by his industry others, however gifted need not try to win. Holton has made a fine re cord as a prosecuting officer his equal cannot perhaps be found in the btate and when his term of office expires, the Times severe ly wishes in the intrest of public good, that President Taf t will re appoint him. the fact that he has held the position for twelve years is no argument against his reappointment. His record jus tifies it and public good demands FOUND DEAD. William Williams, a Well Known Farmer of Union Township Succumbs to Heart Failure. The neighborhood in the vi cinity of Whitehouse was shock ed Sunday night when it was learned that William Williams, a highly esteemed citizen of the community had been found dead in a corn field near the bank of Little River about 9 o'clock that evening. From the best ac- -.1? i-T t nr .. cuuuls tae saa anair it seems that on Sunday about twelve o'clock Mr. Williams told his wife and others who were at his house that he would-walk down through the corn field which he was cultivating on Mrs. Ham mond's farm along Little River and that he would meet them at his brother's, Thos. William's. Time passed on and ne did not return, but this caused little un easiness among his relatives as he was known to be a great talker when meeting a neighbor. But as the evening passed away and no tidings had come from the missing man, a searching party was formed to ascertain why he remained away so long. About 9 o'clock as stated above he was found dead in the field where he had fallen downward and apparently pired without a struggle, there was no suspicion of corn face foul play, every one concerned being satisfied that it was a case of sudden death from heart failure, no coroner's inquest was held. The remains were buried in the cemetery at Newhope Mon day evening. Mr. Williams is survived by his widow and aged mother who resided with him. He was 50 years old, a good citizen and will be greatly miss ed in his community. "Ye Olden Tyme" Vehicle. (Wilkes Patriot.) A vehicle passed through town Tuesday which excited more in terest and attention than all the new automobiles combined. It was an old fashioned rockaway, being driven from Palmyra, the Patterson home, up in the "Hap py Valley," to Winston Salem. The vehicle first belonged to Gen eral Patterson and later to the late Samuel L. Patterson. It is now being taken to Hon. Lindsay Patterson, grandson of the first owner, who becomes the posses sor of it. It is Mr. Pattersons in tention said Mr. J. R. Steele who had charge of the vehicle, to have it repaired and present it to the State musnum. The bed of the rockaway is at least four feet from the ground. It is sus pended from swan neck-shaped springs by huge leather straps, which gives the rider in addition to an up and down one, a motion like a swinging churn. To enable the occupants to enter and dis mount there are folding brass steps on erch side, which, when not in use, are folded up into the bed. There is a high seat in front for the driver and one in behind for an attendant. It is of superb workmanship and was doubtless in its day one of the finest vehicles in the whoie coun try. From Mrs. Lindsay Patter son's easy and delightful pen, it is hoped that more of the rocka way 's personal history may be made known. it because no other man so capa ble can be found in the State. Elkin Times. "OLD LOBLOLLY" AND OTHERS. "The tariff tragedy is distin guished by certain elements of humor. Senators who voted for the Aldrich bill unconsciously supplied some of the fun and thus though involuntarily, make a small degree of reparation for their conduct toward the people. "Senator MeEnery, because he plac2d the sugar interests ;o Louisiana above everything else is now figuring largely in the Southern papers as 'Old Molas ses.' The name will cling to him as long as he lives. "Senator Fletcher, of Florida, is coming to be known far and wide as 'Old Pineapples' because he insisted on a high duty on that particular fruit, and got what he wanted only to lose it as the result of a clever bunco scheme practiced by some of his j wily Republican friends. " 'Old Loblolly' is the nick name applied to Sena'r Simmons, who went in for a stiff duty on lumber,, and as 'Old Loblolly' he will shine long after the United States Senate is relieved of his presence. Then there is a gen tleman from Texas who is known as 'Old Hides because he explod ed many bombs of oratory , in favor of a strong protective duty on the skins coming from the ranches of his dear old State, and others are in like uncomfortuble case. . "There is one thing certain and that is when the Democrats want orators in the next Presi dential campaign they can't go to the Senate as usual and pick out their spouters, too many Demo crats like "Old Molesses" and "Old Hides" have fallen" by the wayside." The above is clipped from a Pennsylvania paper, and is re produced here not only because of the pet name "Old Loblolly, " given to one of our North Caro lina Senators, but because it tends to 'point a moral and adorn a tale." A Southern Democrat in Con gress occupies a very, unenvied position. He must try to please his constitutents at home by ad vocating and voting for the fool thing his party stands for, and what he himself has shouted from the stump as pure democrcay un dented and upon which he argues the salvation of the country de pends. When he gets to Wash ington a few of them vote for and advocate the things in their, party platform which they have paraded as Democratic principles before the people in order to ap ear consistent, but the great ma jority of them become conscience stricken and turn their backs up pon their platform utterances and vote for Republcan principles in order to vote their convictions and be honest with the public. Both of our Senators and all of our Congressmen were going over the State last fall telling the tariff was robbery and Republi can success would mean public disaster and that a reduction of the tariff on lumber would act . ually benefit the people. The State went Democratic and seven Democratic Congressmen, were elected in order to prevent the national calamity which they pre dicled if another high tariff bill was passed but, lo! and behold! every Democratic Congressman except one and both Senatrs vot ed for high tariff measures, and Senator Simmons led the fight for a high tariff on lumber, and is now known especially in the North, as "Old Loblolly. " actu ally voted for "protection" on loblolly pines. He did right not to advocate ' 'free trade, ' ' but the ! point we make is why not be coii- Young Men, Learn Telegraphy!
