,' ti? The 'Raedolph Boltettao A RANDOLpH COUNTY PAPER FOR RANDOLPH COUNTY PEOPLE. VOL. NO. 24. MURDERERS LAND IN JAIL. Charlotte, Dec. 15. charged with the murder of Mr. and Mrs. John Dixon, a prominent and wealthy young couple, of Cleve land county, Wednesday morning John and Hack Ross, brothers, and Will Ross .their cousin, all negroes, were formally eom ited by the coroner's jury this morning and tonight were ' flur ried hereto jail to prevent lynch ing, which has been imminent all day. hundreds of quiet, but determined farmers flocked to Shelby, the county seat, this morning to attend the inquest. After some delay it became whis pered about that the hearing had been postponed and the impatient citizens began to wend their way toward the jail. Relizing the grav ity of the situation, the sheriff rang the courthouse bell and crowd retraced its steps. There Judge Webb, the solicitor oi the district, and others addressed them, pleading for law and order. The coroner, who had been con ducting a star chamber inquest in the meantime, then appeared and read the report of his jury, assuring the spectators that the right men were in costody and would have speedy trial. Gov. Kitchin had been apprised of the seriousness of the situation and early this morning wired the county authorities to remove the prisoners to Charlotte jail, stat also that he would call a special term of Cleveland court to try them. The negros were spirited away under cover of dusk and landed in jail here tonight. The murder of the Dixons was one of the most atrocious in the state's annals. He was called from his bed Wednesday night and knock ed in the head with an axe and with the same weapon the mur ders slew his wife, who lay asleep by the side of her tiny infant. One of the negros has made con fession to the sheriff, giving as the motive for the double crime the fact that Dixion held a mort gage on his mule. Dixon was 30 and his wife 25 years of age. KILLED DURING THE HUNTING SEASON. Boston, Dec. 16- Thirty human lives were lost in New England and four in the Canadan povince of New Brunswick as the direct reault of the hunting season which ended last midnight. Of the victims, five were shot by mistake for deer; twelve were killed by the accidental discharge of their own guns; fourteen by accidental firing of guns held by companions or by stray bullets; two drowned and one died of ex posure. In addition twenty were seriously injured. Maine led in the number of fatalities, with fifteen. It is esti mated that ten thousand deer, three hundred moose and one hun dred bear were killed during the season. There has been some trouble in the State Agricultural Depart ment, due it seems, by some officials assuming duties and authority belonging to others employed in the Department. This is too important a business for such child's play, If there is not enough to keep every man at his post, eliminate some of the superluminaries and give the poor State Treasury the benefit of the saving. I f all officials and attaches are doing their duty and earning their pay, they should be very little to create any differ ences worth mentioning. Union Republican. Also important.

After many months of inves tigation of pellagra in the South ern States, the scientists of the public health and marine hospital service are in as much doubt as ever as to the cause of the scourge. Meanwhile the disease seems to be gaining and it has been reported that nearly every physician in South Carolina has from five to 15 cases in his private practice. Assistant Surgeon General John D. Long says it has been demonstrated that cures can be effected even up to the fifth attack, but that there is little hope when the patient has reach ed the stage of insanity. Pellagra has been found to be a seasonal disease and it is thought that the greatly varying temperature of South Carolina may be partly re sponsible for its prevalence there. The investigators have found that the greatest number of cases develop during the spring and autumn months when there are sudden and marked changes in the weather. Comparison of pellagra in the United States with pellagra in Italy, where the disease is com mon, has been proved that the attack is much more severe in this country. Children, it has been found, respond to treatment much more satisfactorily than to adults, and show the greatest per centage of recoveries, When the disease reaches the point of producing insanity, a suicdal tendency develops and nearly all pellagra victims choose drown ing. Cotton seed oil, Indian corn, certain classes vegtables and a recently discovered gnat, are amoung the supposed causes, but the disease is still a mystry to the scientists. Washington Dispatch NO LOVE LIKE A MOTHERS. If boys are taught to pe gentle and chivalrous toward their sis ters they will treat all women in the same way. There is no neces sity for formality in the home, but brothers and sisters should be just as polite to eachother as they would be to strangers. The mere fact that they are closely relateb does not give them the right to treat each other like wild little animals. It is hard for a busy mother to teach po litness to a large family of children, but if she begins from their infancy they will soon get the hapit, and it will become sec ond nature. Don't get too far away from your own perple. Don't forget nor neglect them, for they are your pest friends No other woman will fill for you as your mother does, She may not see you for years, but your place is there in her heart just the same.

Guar anteed by J. T. Underwood. ASHEBORO, N. C, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1911. A B1R1 HDAi DIN BR Bright and early last Sunday j mornino Dep.mher 10th. the! friends and relatives of Mrs. John Cox, of MiSlboro, Rt. 1. as sembled at her home to join with her in celebrating her fifty sec ond birthday. Greatly to Mrs. Cox's surprise the guests . brought with them well nrenared baskets and some A. i -W-W 1 A J 1 nice presents, ay hair past eiev en o clock the quests had ail ar rived. Shortly afterwards a large table was placed in the yard a place that has been well car ed for by man and well provided for by nature. As the leaves which had put on their bright golden robes for their departure, dropped one by one upon the ta ble and thence to the ground to be trodden under foot, they re mind us that this company would never meet together at this home again but that soon each one of us should put on our robes for our departure to a better land. Notwithstanding this, we were too busily engaged in lively con versation to entertain thoughts of sadness. Soon the table was loaded with the fruits of earnest toil. Noth ing more tempting than this well prepared table has ever been viewed by a hungry man. It was this day when men realized the advantage and comforts of a well taught cook. When all was ready, with the Cox family seated in front of the table, and the guests behind it a view was snapped. Upon this Mrs. Cox and others also may look and brine: to memorv the pleasures and kindness o . friends on her fifty-second b day. When dinner was ready to be served Mr. J. M. Williams made a short but impressive talk com plimentary to Mrs. Cox and thanked the many friends for their kindness. Now comes the time when every one forgets a i their trials and tribulation and think of nothing but this bounti ful feast. In all there were about eighty five or ninty present all of whom spent the day most pleasantly. Mrs. Cox has three children two of whom are married. Sue has eight grandchildren and were all present. A number of her near kinsmen were present on this occasion. We all wish Mrs. Cox many more bright and happy birthdays But if it is the will of our" Heav enly Father that this is her last we hope tc meet her in that land where all trouble and tribulations are not only forgotten for one day but forever. One who was Present. Young Charlie Parker, of Hert ford County, champion corn raiser of North Carolina, to whom was awarded the State prize, has just been greeted by President Taft. The oyung man was presented by Congressman John H. Small, of the First District. President Taft told the young man, after the usual compliments had been passed, that if the South would take a lesson from the Champion corn growers, it would not have to depend upon fif ten-cent cotton and this shows that the President of the United States has acute insight into the the direct duties of the Southern farmer.

Bryan And Harmou How they Love Eachother Governor Harmon assigned no reason for refusing an invitation to make an address at Washing ton at the Jackson DajT banquet. So says the press report and it immediately follows wT'ith the statement that Mr. W; J. Bryan will make an address at the ban quet. .Governor Harmon ought to be there. Mr. Bryan would not on an occasion like this so far forget himself as to hammer the Ohio "hope."

Ward, of Elizabeth City, who presided at the civil term of court i n session it Wilmington, -N. C. the past week had a rl-her interesti-vs joint of l.iw fori) is consideration, tt. was in a case where Register f Deeds Johii'Haar was being sued for. the penalty of $203 dloA-ed by - hx . for U&xiing . iceso for tho marriage of p-r sons under age without the con sent of their parents. In this particular case licens was issued for the marriage of a young lady under 18 years of age upon the written consent of the mother. A few months after the marriage the father brouht suit against the register of deeds for the amount of the penalty, claiming that his consent had not been given to the marjge. His counsel argued that under the common law the father is the head of the house hold and that as such it is neces sary for the child under mar riageable age who is living ifh him to secure his consent before license may be issued without laying the register of deeds liable. He argued that had the girl been living with her mother and her mother and father had been living apart, then the con sent of the mother would, have been sufficient. The attorney for che register of deeds argured that under the statute the con sen : of the mother was sufficient. Judge Ward held with the plain tiff that the consent of the father is necessary.

During the year ending Decem ber 1st 1911, the register of deeds for Randolph county issued a total of 225 marriage j lisense. This is a decrease of nineteen as compared with the previous vear during which 244 permits were issued. There is positively no explana tion for this falling off in the marriage business unless there is an orghized combination aganist the preachers and J.
