XXXVI ASHEBORO, N. a, MAY 25, 1911 No. 21 THE HASTY PARDONED Released Unconditionally by Govern .or Blease Columbia, S. May 22. George Hasty claims he has turerculosis, contracted in the . hosiery mill at the penitentiary here. Hasty called on uovenor Blease today, immediately upon being released, having been granted an unconditional pardon, and on being asked how was his health, replied that he suffered from consumption. Hasty said he caught the disease in the hosiery mill, which was lately condemned by the State Board of Health a3 a breeding place for tuberculosis, and declared that in the five months since he left the mill he had gained 35 pounds in weight. Hasty left thi? after noon, via Spartanburg, for his old home at Gaff ney. George Hasty was formerly one of the proprietors of the Piedmont Inn., at Gaffney. In that house in 1905 he killed a musician, Milan Bennett, and an actor, John Davidson, both members of a theatrical troupe then playing there, because of a quarrel said to have arisen from insults offered by Hasty to Miss Verne Sheridan, soubrette. Hasty was convicted of murder at his trial for the killing of Bennett and was given a life sen tence. He was not tried never will be for the killing of David son. During the six years of his in carceration at the penitentiary Has'y lias made a model pnsion er. He said today tnat once Mjss Sheridan and another mem ber of the , "Nothing But Money' company called at the penitentiary to see him, but were not admitted. Governor Blease said that the evidence before him indicated that Miss Sheridan was not only of lax morals, but was a thief and he thought Hasty had been sufficiently punished- Hasty says he intends to lead a straight, clean life hereafter. He is still a young man and has the likelihood of living many years before him, if the disease which he believes himself to .have contracted is cured. Peace Comes to Mexico. Officially designated represents tiveB of ibe Mexican govern meat met in J aarez May 21 and signed an agreement intended to end the war in Mexico. The agreement says that Diai has manifested hla resolution of resigning the presidency. The only disquieting reports now from Mexico City are that mem bers f the K)ientifioo" party, depos ed because of the Maderaista move ment, were thinking of starting a revolution agaiust tbe latter. It is not clear yet whether this element will take form of armed revolt after Madero assumes power. . Mrs. Jessie Cox Married Mrs. Jessie Pickett Cox, of High Point and Mr. Thos. F. Meredith, of Wilmington, were married at the home of the officiating minister, Rev. T. J. Ogburn at Greensboro Monday. They left 'immediately for Asheville to spend a week or sc after which they will make their home in Wilmington. Dead After an illness of several months Mrs. J. Mack Hatch died at-the home of her father on Use Friday. Mrs. Hatch, who was formerly Miss Ha Siler, was 10 her thirtieth year She was a faithful and consistent member of the Methodist Protestant Church of this place, aud was a lady of sweet Christian character. She is survived by ber husband and one little daughter and one Bister Miss Myrtle Siler, and her father, Mr. K. O.SiUr. i There can bo no question at all that Senator Simmons' statement in regard to his rumored business con nection with Senator Lorimer will effectively dispose of the matter. This report while totally without real foundation, does not appear to have been started through malice. It had its apparent foundation in circumstances which Mr. Simmors has completely explained. Charlotte Observer. WA LETTER. Free List .Bill Blocaded in Senate Lorimer to be Re-Investigated. By Clyde H. Tarenner, Special Washing ton Correepouc'ent of The Courier. I Washington, May, 22. Although stand pat republicans proclaim that .practically every farmer in the land is against reciprocity, the fct is that the demand for reciprocity or iginated with farmers organizations and the agricultural piess of the nation, Coi pressman Ralph W. Moss of Indiana, a farmer himself, and one of the best friends of the farmers occupying a seat in the halls of Congreee, established this fact be. yond successful contradiction in a sirong speech delivered on the floor of the House, Mr. Mess cinched his argument by presenting resolu tions of farmers organizations in which they pledged themselves to work for reciprocity. "The giea, national movr-ment Hiuoct; he frtiuieru' uf the United States 10 advance reciprocal legis la1 ion began," said Mr. Moss, "with a meeting heldiu theGntnd Pacific hotel in Chicago in 1905. lhe'e were present at that uecmg title- gates repieueuting the National Live block oscoeiatiou, American bliurt Horn Abiufciaiio ), National Live St jck Exchange, AhlierbV National rederatiou, aud other great produc ing and exporting interests. ic WdS decided to hold a nation al conference to advance reciprocal tiiiffi legislation. Alvin ti. aauu ders was choaeti m tee leaor!f tue movement. Who ;a A. tL' Saun- den? He in a member of the tariff ti- ard appointed by Prtsident iaft Mr. Saunders was at that tune the editi r of the Breeders' Gz ttv the most itiHuential and widely read farm j mrual in the United States. Mr. Saunders issued a signed state ment as to the purposes of the con ference. He declared his willing ness to co-operate with the specific understanding that the interests of the farmers and stock growers should be paramount. "It is time," dec ared Mr. Saua ders in his signed statement, "that somebody should take up the cudgels against those who are. for selfish purposes destroyed Blaine's recipro city conventionsand are still Lai ring the American stockmen and gram growers from a large and luc rative outlet for their goods. The fight for better markets, worth un known millions per year to . the farming commities, will not be won in a week or a year. It means battle royal against intrenched pow er, but it win be won because it is right." Mr. Moss went on to show that the conference ivas attended by moie than 600 delegates, representing every principal agricultural orgam. zatiou in the nation, and that at the close of the meeting the following resolution was passed: "That we recommend that a per manent organization be formed un der the style of the Reciprocal Tariff league, and that a committee of 15 be appointed to organize and iurth er the work for which this conven tion was assembled." t Mr. Moss expressed the belief that when reciprocity could be put di rectly to the real farmers of the country, it would develop that they are for it, and tnat the alleged hoa tillity of the farmer exists only in the minds of the paper manufac turers and lumber barons. Democrats to tbe Rescue. Two bills introduced in the Sen ate, and several in the House, each of them intended to deprive the Su preme court of the power it recently assumed to reaa tne worn "reason able.'' into the antitrust law, iudi cate the strong protest in Congress against the decisioa of the court weakening the anti-trust statute. Tbe Senate bills were introduced by Senators Culberson of Texas' and Reed of Missouri, both Demo. crats. Senator Culberson's bill consists of a printed copy of the Sherman act with three words inserted intt Sections 1 and 2, the words being "of whatever character." The ef fect would be to prohibit all com binations, conspiracies in restraint of trade, all monopolies, all combin ations tending toward monopoly "of whatever character. In the lexas senator's opinion this change would effectually resture prohibitions of tbe anti-trust law to just where they were before the recent decision was hand ed down. ' . . ' It is contended by many progree- Good Roalds Day May 30th Next Tuesday, May 30th, is a legal holiday, and all the patrons on Route No. 3 from ABheboro are going to give a day's work on the road. I have seen men and have asked them to act as overseer for each section of the road. Beginning at the City limit 21r. 'lhomas Davidson has been asked to take care of first section which goes to the township line. W. L. Varner next to the foot of the Joel Ash worth Hill. W. R. Cooper next to A. J. Cooper's". E. E.

I have spent some tiu.e and trout h in trying toorganiz-i each section, and lioje you will ll tarn out and give, a jood days w( rk on the iiuil you use mos and is nearest your home. I wish also to give a special in Vitation to those who are iw:v farther than the route reaches, at.d do a lot of travel on the Uwharr.e r ad, to come and help work up tbe road. You surely cannot ni'ss t'ie time arid you will be suing money for yourself. Maivui Ketmes will be foreman from Farmer ti Me chanic. Theiehave a number of people promised to furnish bands One man of tbe over seers said that evi-ry body in his section, women, childern and all were going and have a real picnic. So. let us all come out and fix our road ready for the crushed stone when we have voted bonds for gcoi road?, Yourj for better roads, D. M; Sharpe, R. L. C sives of both parties that the ruling of the supreme court places in tbe anti-trust law a loophole for trusts and combinations to get through on tbe ground that they are not 'un. reasonably" restrictive of trade. That the Sherman law will be re stored to where it was before the de cision was announced, is proba. ble. "Farmers Friends" Asleep. lhe farmers free list bill is blockaded in the United States Sen ate. Unless strong pressure is brought to bear there is danger that tbe bill will die in committee. Yet the interests that are supply ing the money to fight reciprocity, which interests are working over. time proclaiming their friendship for tbe farmers and asserting they oppose reciprocity o!ely because they feel for the farmers, have- not as yet raised tneir voice against the blockade of the farmers free list bill. Query: If the interests fighting reciprocity are really and in fact such great friends of the farmers, why are they indifferent over the fate of a bill which will untax nearly everything the farmers use? Democrat Senate Probable. If the next Presidential election is carried by the Democrats it is practically certain they will aleo outrol the Senate. Should the Re publicans elect the President, there will still be the possibility, of Dem ocratic controll of the Senate. The substitution of four Dem. ocrats for as many Republicans would make the Setale a tie; if the Democrats held the vice-presidency they would therefore control ;he Senate. TheHe Republicans face prospects of being succeeded by Democrats; Briggsot New Jersey; Brown of Nebraska; Curtis of Kansas; Dixon of Montana; Frye of Maine, and Gamble of South Dakota. Loriuier to be He-Investigated. That the election of United States Senator William Lorimer of Illinois, will again be investigated, and that a new investigation assures his al most certain ejection from the Sen ate, is the prevailing opinion in Washington. Sentiment for the new investigation was brought to a head by the report of the Helm in vestigating committee in Sprine- field, which found that Lorimer had been elected by bribery and corrup tion. SHORT ITEMS UF NEWS - The Lorimer case is again before the, Senate and the reinvestigation is going on.
