The President Beset With Liars.
Tha Hod. Bebjamin r ttyaii tiilmdn,
rioited States 8enator from the state of
South Carolina who is a busy man; Is tak
ing a littU time, off in order to compile a
list of names under the caption. "Persons
Wborn the Hoht Theodore Roosevelt;
President of These United States, Has
Called Liars. " -;The liar is no whit bet
ter th;i'i the thief," said th exhuleraut
ud enthusiastic discoverer of the ten com-
tnandrneni8, as he raked the muck rakers. .
Mr Tillman exhibits, as a first sheaf
from hi labor?, the following partial list,
each man named therein having been desig
nated by the President as a liar (therefore,
no whit better than a thief):
Former Judge Alton B. Parker.
Henry At. Whitney.
' John F. Wallace.
Mr. Bow en, former minister to Ven
ezuela.
Senator Thomas C. Piatt.
George O. Shields, president of the
American League of Sportsmen.
To which may be added the name of
former Senator W. E. Chandler.
There's scripture for't that all men are
liars; and Mr. Roosevelt himself is afflict
ed with a lamentably poor memory. One
definition of a liar is a person who remem
bers different from Mr. Roosevelt. Gazette-News'.
A NEW AND NOVEL DEFENSE.
Henderson County Blockader Puts
up an Entirely New Plea
. to Judge Boyd.
An entirely new defense was sprung
in United States district court yesterday
afternoon by an attorney for a man from
Henderson county charged with block
ading. The alleged blockader, a young,
slim, good looking fellow, probably Dot
more than ltf years of age, went on tle
stand in bis own behalf. He testifitd
that he knew nothing about making
liquor; that he had never seen liquor
made; that while wandering around in
the woods bm stumbled on a deserted
distillery and started the thing going
when a revenue officer happeued oa the
scene. After the young fellow had loft
tne stard tne attorney stated that wa
the case for the defense; that be did not
think his client should be punished;
that bis client did not know an thing
about making liquor; that his client
started the distillery out of a spirit of
curiosity and with no intent to violate
the law and that these facts should ap
peal to the court. Judge Boyd declared
that a man poking around in the woods;
finding an illicit distillery and starting
the thing going did not appeal to him.
Revenue Officer McCoy was called on
by Judge Boyd to answer a few ques
tions and the officer's answers sealed the
young blockader 's fate. Mr. McCoy
said that the distillery was a small affair
but that the beer was good and that had
the operations continued good liquor
woum nave Deen made, mat was ap
parently all Judge Boyd wanted to know.
'The prisoner is ordered into the cus
tody of an officer.' was the manner in
which his honor disposed of the case.
Judge Boyd is going to teach the
blockaders of Western North Carolina a
lesson at this term of court. That he
intends to punish severely was evident
from his remarks from the bench yei
terday afternoon. He declared that he
was going to break up moonshining if
possible. "Heretofore, "said his honor,
'I have been too easy I have been too
indulgent. Men convicted of blockade
ing have been let off with a small fine
or a few days imprisonment. Whenfree
they went right back to makiug the il
licit whiskey and laughed at the court
That is all past. I intend to stop it now."
When a blockader faces Judge Boyd,
however, and the evidence against him
is slight he is better off without a lawyer.
Judge Boyd does not hesitate to speak
his mind. He prom ply tells the district
attorney that there is no case against
the defendant; orders the iury to return
a verdict of not guilty and the prisoner
is immediately released. A case of this
nature occurred yesterday. Gazette-

FOR LOCALSELF GOVERNMENT.
Rutherford Republican Believes in.
Abolishmg the Orie-Man Power. ;
James A; Iogan. formerly of Asheville
and now engaged in lumbering in Ruther
ford county, is ia the city this week. Mr.
Logan, is a well known young republican
and several years ago made the race for the
legislature in Rutherford, redufii-g tne
democratic majority consult n bly. Mr
Logan is formulating a resolution that will
be introduced at the republican state con
vention this year relative to the distribution
of pairo-. ag. He said this morning that
he was opposed to one-tuan rl a . d that
this view was concurred in by prominent
republicans in Rutherford, Polk a id Hen
dersou counties. Mr. Logan's resolution
will call for lcal self-government relative
to the distribution of omces including
fourth-class postoffices and other Federal
jobs, by providing that candid ites for ap
pointment to office shall be voted for by
the republicans in the community in which
they reside and that the candidate receiv
ing the highest number of votes shall be
recommended by the state chairman for
appointment. Mr. Logan believes that
this method will result in much good to
the party in North Carolina and do away
with much bit terness engendered by ap
poiutmeut made under the old system.

Don't tell this to John Russell, forjdid
he not say, in his letter (that Charley wrote)
that the republican party favored local
self government and assign this as one rea
son for jining them? But where does he
find himself now? Ed. 1
Loying Mother.
A father, talking to his careless daugh
ter, said: "I want to speak to you of your
moiher. It may bu that you have noticed
a caie-woru lookupou her face lately. Of
course it has not teeu brought th.-r- hy
any act of ours, Mill it is your duty to
chase il away. I want you to get up to
morrow mor. i. g and get breakfast; and
when your mother comes aud begins to
express Ik r surprise, go right up to her and
kiss her right on the mouth. Y u can't
imagine how it will brighten tier dear
face.
"Besides, you owe her a kiss or two.
Away back, when you were a little girl,
she kissed you w(,en no one else was
tempted b your fever-tainted breath and
swollen face. You were not as attractive
then as jou are now; And through those
years of childish snns'-ine and shadows,
she wns alwa s redy to cure, ly tin. uiugic
of a mother's uis, ilie liitle nirty, chubiy
hands whe:.ever they were i'-jined.
"Or course she is noi so pieity nd kiss
able as you art-; but il you hail done y ur
share of w rk during the last ten years, the
contrast would not be s nursed.
"Her face has more wrinkles tnn tours,
aud yet it you were sick that face would
appear far wore beautiful than au angel's
as it bov red over you, watchii g very
opportunity t your comfort, and every
oue of those wriukles would seem to be
bright wavelets of surhine chasing each
other over the dear face.
"She will leave you one of these days.
These burdens, if not lit ted from her
shoulders, will break her down. Those
rough, hard hands that have done so many
necessary things for you, will be crossed
upon her lifeless breast.
"ihose ueglected lips, that gave yi u
your first baby kiss, will be forever closed,
and those sad tired eyes will have opened
in eternity, and then you will appreciate
your mother, but it will be too late." Ex.

Learning and Tobacco. .
Hen. R. Z. Linney, who delivered the
address at the recent closing of the school
at Corneilus, spoke on "The Value and
Dangers of Education," a id the following
illustration which he used is now going the
rounds:
"In the neighborhood of his mountain
home he once met a beautiful mountain
girl, lovely of face and form, but who had
her mouth full of tobicco, which she
j ant Q agked wh he waa , ScQfol
cnewea voraciousiv. rinamg ur lgnor-
She replied, ,I have no money to buy
books." He gave tn-r $2 and en joined her
to . hasten and go quickly ai d buy books,
then go to school and learn. Later he met
her again. She had spent ten cents for
books and $1.90 for chewing tobacco.
When questioned concerning her conduct,
she made answer that she had come to the
conclusion that ten cents worth of "lam
ing" was worth less than $1.90 worth of
chewing tobacco. She had this idea of the
value of education, and Linney predicted
that as the years pass she will, have about
as much se se as a horat fly with its head
off." ?
