Will History Bs Repeated? We clip' the following from the Washington Post of Sunday: , "STAMPS IN SLOT MACHINES. Two Rival Inventions Now Under , Test in Washington. ONE ON TRIAL IN THE POST OF FICE AND ANOTHER IS IN STALLED AT THE MET "", ROPOLITAN HOTEL Tf The First 8tamo-vendlng Machines Ever Used in This Country Were In stalled yesterday One In the corri dor of the Postofflce. "A rival stamp-vending . machine was put in operation in the corridor of the Metropolitan Hotel last night It is an American invention, and was not entered In the competition before the y Post Office Department This concern is going Into the commercial field, and will soon Install the slot machines in all the hotels in Wash ington." ' " .' , We also copy the following from the Charlotte Observer's Washington cor respondent: 7 . ; -i.:, : 'Of about- thirty stamp-vending ma chines exhibited at the Post Office De partment here, the one patented by R. Williams, of Fayetteville, and W. C. Briggs, of Winston-Salem, leads all, save one made In Germany.. The German machine Is six feet high and the North Carolina machine la even Inches." "'i .- v .-''" ' Mr. Williams has Just returned from Washington and reports a most sat isfactory exhibition before the Depart ment, of his machine, and that the of ficials expressed great admiration for the "little giant", or as it was called by one of them, the "Vest Pocket Edition." When it is taken into con sideration that the Southern machine is only about seven ' Inches high, against the German machine of -six feet, It Is not to be wondered at that a machine doing the work of the big machine should have created so much Interest These small machines will be in operation regularly , In all the hotels, clubs, etc., of Washington at an early date, and in the meantime a machine was in actual commercial use in the Metropolitan Hotel. It Is not yet decided whether the government will make the necessary appropriation for Installing stamp vending machines, but the probabil ity is that it will not at present and it the intention of the Fayetteville Company to have the field' supplied with their machines in actual opera tion before this point is decided. Mr. Williams reported that he was very courteously treated, by the Third Assistant Postmaster-General and his committee, . and that he has applied for permission to install two of his ma chines in the Post Office Building in Washington . beside the large ma chines now under test there and this permission has been practically given. During this .fight of the pigmy against the giant It is needless to say that- sentiment Will be with the Am erican pigmy, and should eventually such machines be adopted by the De partment, this will be the one select ed. V The Dunn Postofflce. Robbers. The five men captnred at Van Wyck, S. C., last week, and who were taken to Raleigh Wednesday under .the charge of having robbed the postofflce safe at Dunn, N. O, in December, were well equipped for such work. A Lancaster, S. O, dispatch to the News and Observer, giving an account of the capture, said one of the men car ried a small valise. Of this valise the correspondent says: "The valise containing the following articles, -making one of the most com plete safe-cracking equipments ever taken offW gang of 'yeggs' in this sec tion of the country: two bottles of nltro-glycerlne, a half pint bottle about half filled with nttro-glycerlne, a package of fusses with dynamite caps attached, a coil of fusses, two pieces of fuse with dynamite caps af fixed, 11 dynamite caps, a spool of black thread, .two colls of picture wire a cake of laundry soap, a gauze used in extracting nltro-glycerine .from dynamite, a candle, metal tweezers, long blade knife, a steel wedge, a bot tle of turpentine, a bottle of Jamacta ginger, a pocket map of. North Caro lina, a steel, wedge railroad folders, etc.; This includes absolutely every thing necessary In blowing a safe, and enough explosives were contained in the satchel to blow to smithereens a half dozen big safes."

Interest .In baseball, as other towns in the State much smaller than Fayetteville do? . ' r Tarboro is not as large as Fayette ville, but It usually puts out as good a team as any town In the State.

Why can't we have one? .' , , We certainly have , a fine diamond, as good. as we need, if it had a lit tle work done on it, and we have good players. This was proven last seafeon. So It we work a little and the men will practice we can and will have as good team as we had ten years ago. There .is no reason why, with the "craoker-Jack players we have, that we should not have the best team In the State. . ' It Is now time for Fayetteville to consider- the prospects of our team tor this season, so there had better be a meeting to see " what can be done towards getting Up a good team. Mrs. John 8.

' ' -: The Divorce Mill Does Not Run 8o ; Smoath. The February terra of the Superior Court for the trial of civil cases, con vened here this morning,' Judge Long presiding. ' The only cases taken up this morn ing were two suits for divorce. The following cases were contin ued: - J. F. P.. Stewart vs. J. B. McCormick; Eva S. Cochran vs. Raleigh ft South- port Railroad,' and Daniel Jackson vs. Margaret Smith, et al. ' The case of Mrs. Fannie O Hall vs. Charles McRae Is now on trial. . His honor, Judge B. F. Long, known from one end of the State to the other as the Judge who so unswervingly did bis duty In enforcing the law against the rebellious railroads last fall, gave additional evidence, in matters of less moment it is true; that he presides as one of the Judges of . the superior court with an eye single to the inter pretation and enforcement of the stat tue law of the State as it is written in the books. ; The case of Samuel W. McKethan vs. Mary .A. McKethan was the first one called for trial. This was an action for divorce. The defendant was neither In court nor represented by counsel, and In such instances it is made .the duty of the presiding judge to protect the interests of the State, to the end that no divorce may be granted, unless it is meritoriously de served by reason of the existence of facts coming within the several grounds upon which it may be grant ed. In this particular case, under the rigid and searching examination of the judge, it appeared that the plain tiff had shortly prior to the institu tion of. his case for divorce committed an assault upon his wife. Inflicting such serious lnjurfes on the head and body of the woman as to necessitate her being treated at the Hlghsmith Sanitorium. Upon the conclusion of the evidence, it appearing that the facts upon which the divorce was ask ed had not existed to the knowledge of the plaintiff for six months prior to the institution of his action, as requir ed by law, the counsel for plaintiff, submissive to the suggestion of the court, entered a plea for the With drawal of a juror, submitted to a mis trial, the plaintiff was subjected to an order to pay the costs so far incurred and thereupon departed without his divorce! The next case tried was that of Caro Smith vs. Julius Smith, another case for divorce, based upon the stat ute enacted by the Legislature of 1907 providing that where either husband or wife separated from the other, liv ed apart for a period of ten years and continued 'to reside in this State dur ing that period, that then a decree of absolute divorce could be had. . The plaintiff produced . evidence showing that her husband had abandoned her within a year or bo after they were married and had lived apart from her for a period exceeding twelve years. Under the questioning of the court it developed that the husband had re sided in this State during five of those twelve years. The court suggested to counsel for the plaintiff that if the court, and counsel for the plaintiff could constitute themselves the Senate and House of the General Assembly that it might beipossible that in as appar ently meritorious instance, they would be inclined to grant the decree, but that reading the law and enforcing It as It is written, the court was of the opinion that the plaintiff had fail ed, to make out a case for divorce. Thereupon counsel for plaintiff sub mitted to a non-suit, the plaintiff de partedwithout her divorce," Captain McGeachy for Major. The Governor has accepted the res ignation of Major G. B. Sellars, com manding the Third Battalion, Second Regiment, composed of the Clinton, Maxton, Lumber Bridge and Fayette ville Companies. For this vacancy, the officers of the several companies mentioned have endorsed Capt N. H. McGeachy, now in command of the company here. It is understood, how ever, that several other officers have been proposed, who reside outside of this battalion territory, and, as the election Is by the commissioned offi cers of the whole regiment; the matter is by no means a certain one. To elect an officer from a distance to command our local companies will be an Innovation, and any such action will hardly tend to the advancement of the Guard in this section. It is the earnest hope of the officers of the battalion that in the election, their choice will be approved, and that Capt McGeachy; the present ranking offlcsr in the battalion will be promoted. 8ENATOH OVERMAN, Concord Times. - ' ' , " '" It is probably trite to' say that Hon. Lee 8. Overman has made an ideal Senator, but it Is nevertheless true. Popular when he was elected, and pos sessing the respect and admiration of the people of the State; he has grown Immensely during, the years he has served in the National Congress. He has attended closely to his' duties,' and has watched every Interest of his peo ple.'. Nothing has escaped him, and he has been able to accomplish more than can usually be accomplished by a Sen ator during his first term. Senator Overman will be chosen to succeed Tiimself. It hi folly for any man In the State to undertake to de feat him for re-election. He is en titled to it not only by the common en. dorsement of a second term, but be is more entitled to it by the superb rec ord he has "made, and the assiduous devotion to duty he has shown.

Ground was broken to-day for the erection of a handsome building on the lot adjoining the court-house prop erty by ex-Bherlff W. H. Marsh and Mr. W. M. McKethan. When complet ed the lower floor will be occupied, by the Carolina Grocery Company, and the entire second floor will be devoted to law offices. ' ..' ' . The building Is to be 42 feet in width, and 115 feet in length,. With a handsome glass and iron front, and it Is the Intention to have it completed within three mm.:"-;K-f The Carolina Grocery Company ob tained a charter Friday, with an au thorized capital of $50,000. The incor porators are: : Messrs. J. U.' McKeth an,' A. A, McKethan, H. H. King, J. Gainey, George Bell and Misses An nie and Margaret McArthur. . . It Is the purpose of this company to carry on a wholesale grocery bu siness, deal in naval stores and real estate.. : : MR. T. K. BRUNER DEAD. Mr. T. K. Bruner, for the past twen ty years Secretary of the North Caro lina Department of Agriculture, died in Raleigh early Sunday morning.' ." He was 62 years of age and was born in Salisbury, the son of J. J. Bruner, his mother's maiden name be ing Klncald, and she being also a na tive of Rowan county. His father was for many years editor and pub lisher of The Carolina Watchman, of Salisbury. ' He was devoted - to the study of mlnerlogy and became an ex pert. It is quite natural, therefore, that when the North Carolina Depart ment of Agriculture began its great work of collection and Installation of the resources of the earth that he should be chosen as the chief col lector, and that he should figure prom inently at the exhibits the State made In the early '80's at Boston, Atlanta andJew Orleans. He succeeded Pet er M. Wilson as secretary to the ag ricultural board a little more than twenty-one. years ago, and he soon won a reputation in this State and others. He was of particular value In illus trating this State at expositions and in the noble museum which is such a notable feature of the Agricultural Building. Whatever be did he did with all his might and his taste was marekd. A Raleigh correspondent says: "He was purely a versatile and many-sided man; artist, singer, musi cian, expert on gems and precious stones; had traveled widely and new his State as if it were a book. He had for a year or two been immigration agent and had made two trips to Eng land and the continent In this im portant interest, and it was -upon his return from the last journey that the disease which carried him off laid its hold upon him. His liver was in volved and this was the climax of several years of poor health. Brlght's disease was the final result. Only yes terday' Dr. Thayer, the head of Johns Hopkins Hospital, came here special ly to see him, but although this em mlnent specialist saw no hope of re covery the end was nearer than he Im agined, for at 7 o'clock this morning the fatal turn began and less than five hours later death came." Girls' Athletic Club Organized. The owners of the hall in the Wil liams building have generously given the use of it to the young ladies for an athletic club. Their first meeting .was held last Friday night and notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, quite a large and enthusiastic crowd of young ladles were present and organized their club, elected officers, etc. They will practice physical culture and have many social games which will make their meetings very Interesting as well as beneficial. They organized with twenty members and start off un der very favorable auspices. The of ficers elected were: Miss Sallle Tom- llnson, president; Miss Bessie Smith, secretary; Miss Mary Gorham, treas urer. Debate at Raeford. The annual Inter-soclety debate be tween the Lee and Euphemean so cieties of Raeford Institute will take place on the evening of May"8 They have selected for their subject the fol lowing query: "Resolved, That United States Sen ators should be elected by a direct vote of the peopled The affirmative will be argued by Messrs. Colon Price, Lacy Clark and Jonathan Elliott, representing the Euphemean. Messrs. J.' C. Lentz, J. Cu Kelly and L. Bruce Gunter will de fend the negative in behalf of the Lee.

All, the other main line trains, including the Florida Specials, had to take the cir cuitous route, which the short cut, through Fayetteville, put an end to many years ago. The Bennettsvllle train and the Bennettsvllle and Co lumbia shoo-trains, had to all be an nuled. The track will be cleared in time for the trains this afternoon it is thought. . ,. Dr. J. W. McNeill, of Hope Mills who was in the city to-day, says that about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon be heard a tremendous crash at the trestte, Just below Hope Mills, and hurried to the scene. Nine cars were piled up in an indescribable mass of wreckage, while .the engine and four cars had broken away from them and were in tact. The caboose, in which the conductor and flagman were sitting, was left In the centre of the trestle, also unharmed. By some miracle, the forward part of the train, with the engineer and fireman, and the extreme rear end of the train, the caboose with its occu pants, were not harmed. It was only the nine coal cars In the centre that were wrecked. This fact makes the wreck a remarkable one. The train was a short one, consisting of not over fifteen cars, all loaded with coal. .. There have been so many wrecks at this curve, though only two lives have been lost In them all Engineer McGowan, who was killed inx the wreck of a passenger train several years ago, and Engineer Byers of a freight train it would seem that It would be the part of wisdom for the Atlantic Coast Line to straighten out the curve.
