Roosevelt for 1911 This sugges tion has been made in Washington within the. past few days by an in surgent republican senator, by one of his colleagues who is admittedly a reactionaary republican, and by a former republican federal officeholder of prominence, all representing dif ferent sections of the country.

On account of ilA health, Senator Frye', of Maine, has tendered to the vice president his resignation . as resident pro tempore of the senate. The senator is confined to his apart ment and his friends, because of his ; advanced age, are apprehensive. It is probably that Senator Gallinger will succeed him as president pro tern. In a decision handed down last week by the third civil tribunal in the suit of the Wright , brothers against several French aeroplane manufacturers for an infringement of patents, the court upheld the conten tions of the plaintiffs in principle, but declared that it did not wish at present to render a definite decision. as the science of aviation was too new to admit of an arbitrary finding in such a case.

Mrs. Charles Turner, a pretty brunette, of middle age, was found murdered in the woods behind a studio building on Fulton street, Lakewood, ; N. J., Friday afternoon. The woman's face had been beaten in by a big club which lay near by, sttiined with blood. The body was found by Arnold Turner, a nephew who was searching for his aunt, who had been missing since Wednesday, when she left her home to deliver some dresses to women inmates of a local santarium. Her husband, who s is an employee' on the es tate of Georgie Gould had hunted in vain for her for two days. Probably the most extensive ! fish ing trip ever undertaken by a woman is that of Miss Lola B. Vance, of Noblesville. Ind., who passed through New Orleans Saturday en route to Peru, where she will spend the sum mer fishing for queer specimens for the University of Indiana. Miss Vance is making a specialty of . zoo logy under Professor Engleman, of the - Indiana university. Miss Vance will be met in Peru by her brother and will make the larger portion of her trip into the interior on pack ani mals. She says she intends to re turn to the states next fall.

If an Indian is not living with his tribe his thumb mark signature must be witnessed by the ttostmaster' of the p'ace where he resides. . ' The widow of a miser who di- recently at Pau, Okla , was visited a few days ago by a debtor who said he had signed a promissory note in favor of her deceased husband. The widow searched everywhere among tier papers, but could not find the note. Then she remembered her hus band had been in the habit of hiding money in his night clothing. She made an application to the police to have her. husband's coffin 'exhumed In order to examine the clothes in which he was buried.1 This proved successful. The. missing promisory note was there, and also a bundle of banknotes of the. value of $2,000. To save Miss Marie Smith from -death. H. P. Alson, of Orjska, N.

Miss Smith fell "into the; well and" Alson tied a rope around his ankles and " crawled down into the well, while by-standers held the rope. When he reached the bottom he seiz ed the girl and called ' to - the men above to pull Added to , ner weignt of 160 pounds was that' of her drench ed clothing, and it took three men to pull the two over the edge of the wall. : ' . . . SALUDA VOTES BAIL WAT BONDS. Town to Issue $10,000 to Aid Bailroad Now building from wards. Saluda, April 30. The election held here Satuday on the question of bonds in the sum of $10,000 in aid of the rail road building from Wards ; to this place resulted unanimously in favor of the Issue of bonds. Last summer . when the contract was entered Into with the parties who were to build ' this road a personal bond for $10,000 was , made ' as part of the $50,000 bonus with the under standing that a similar amount or Saluda town bonds, if voted, would be accepted in lieu of the personal bond. At the last session of the gen eral assembly an act was passed .pro viding for the election o nthe ques tion land, the issuance of the bonds by the town if carried. The bonds will at once be prepared and ready for delivery upon - the completion of the road now building, along with the other portion of the bonus now held In escrew i ,. "Now For North Carolina." "Now-for North Carolina" will em body the wonderful story of the pro gress and enterprise of the Old Nortn State, and appear in the National Magazine for June. So great and so radical have been the changes during the last generation that it requires sixty-four pages to begin to do-justice to its enterprise and prosperity of today. The saying of Christ, that "a prophet is not, without honor save in his own country," might be. para phrased today to the effect that "The elories of a state are not without admiration and honor abroad, while not duly appreciated at home." North Carolina is needed an empire In itself. The coastal district, with its canals and lumber interests, has always been associated in Northern minds with the old schoolboy phrase of "Tar, pitch and turpentine." and too little with the fisheries of the great sounds and diversified produc tions of a light but generous sort. Westward the great plateau district and the mineral-bearing .ranges sup port prosperous towns and agricul tural valley hamlets, from which many swift and clear rivers afford waterways to the sea. , Many a European nation, great in the annals of antiquity, has no proud er record of man's bravery, woman's beauty, diversified resources and var ied scenery, than , the Old North State. The healing ozone of the pine belt, where many thousands go to find a new lease . of life, the minerals and quarries of the mountain lands, the deposits of gold sapphire, mica and iron, . and the historical Interests as sociated with the early settlement of a state where the first white child on the American continent was born, blend in the story of the old condi tions and new triumphs. From Roa noake v to Asheville, from Elizabeth City to Wilmington, in every section and every direction, the older-towns are thriving, and new centers of pop ulation are. carrying diversified busi ness and industries into hitherto purely agricultural sections. The farmers and farm population of North Carolina are increasing, and the comparative isolation of planta tion days is passing away. With in tensive farming and the progressive manufacturing and municipal enter prise almost everywhere dominating, tie rtory, f'Now for North Carolina," cannot fail to be of great interest to evcy American. The cover design, o-nbodying an antique caravel, such that in which Sir Walter Raleigh's first adventures entered Croatan Sound, makes a spirited and . espec-! 'p'ly arsronriate' setting for the title "Nw for North Carolina.' No one who has ever lived or been Interest ed in NoTth Carolina, can fail to find in the June Rational a story to be preserved as an up to date history and aopreciation of the great "North State. National Magazine. , Made Bh? Haul. - Brevard, April 28. Policeman J. A. Galloway and Deputy Sheriff Banks Paxton yesterday started out on a fjniet .hunt for "blind tiger booze. It seems that certain negroes have been mder suspicion ior some time as the ones, who have been dispensing the fiery liquid rather freely to cer tain parties, most of whom boys and young men of the town. When near Selica the officers met two negroes In a wagon, which' contained a barrel. They decided to do a little investigat es:, with the result that they found te barrell was full of a"! good grade of booze. The negroes were arrested and placed Jn the county, jail. The team has been turned over to the i-eenue officers. ' . The negroes tell an interesting stnnr of a blockade plant, which has ben in operation In the upper Dart of the county for some time. Eighty gallons was the record of sales for Wednesday, night, so they say.. A posse, has gone to . bring in' the opera tors. Restore Bible Found on Battlefield . To Tts Owner. - Raleigh, April 27.

Leading- Jlen of Vicksbnrjr Show Him . . J. : v marked Attention. , r t, tfewOrledans Times-Democrat: .V; : Frank B.' Hayne, . the ; well-known cotton man, returned yesterday, from Vicksburg, Miss.; where he was enter tained informally by the members of the Elks club? Wednesday night. In terviewed yesterday. Mr. Hayne seem ed to be very much pleased and grati fied at the way . in which he was re ceived by his old Vicksburg friends. We-., went , to ; Vicksburg in 1883, the firm at that - time being Vincent Hayne; and remained. threre until 1885 when he came to New )rleans. . Mr. Hayne said that his Vicksburg friends were not aware of his coming and that the", reception was entirely im promptu. That they asked -him to come over to the club at 5 o'clock In the evening, - so that he could . meet some of his old friends, but to his surprise: he found that while most of his old friends were there, mat there was a great number of the leading citizns of Vicksburg, with many , of "whom, he was not acquainted. . P. M. Harding of the Delta Banking com pany was the toastmaster. Mr. Hayne being seated at his right. V ; Marry interesting reminiscences were told ' by his various friends of Mr. Hayne's, life in Vicksburg. Mr..Jac quith of the Yazoo & Mississippi Val ley said that "when he first met Mr. Vincent and Mr. Hayne that they wore long beards and that Mr. Hayne look ed fifteen o twenty yeaTs older than he does now. He also stated that the first shipment of cotton from .Vicks burg over the Mississippi Valley road was by the firm of Vercent & Hayne. Mr. Henry, Mr. Fitzhugh, Capt-Sear-les, Mayor Hayes, Mr. Cowan and a number of others spoke in a feeling manner. Mr. Hayne said that they were really so complimentary in their remarks that he had not the nerve to repeat them- They . claimed that as Mr. Hayne had started his business career in Vicksburg-- that the citizens of Vicksburg had always taken a great Interest in him and felt a personal pride in his success. They declared that Mr. Hayne had done as much or more than any man for the South in educating its citizens as to the value of cotton and proving that New York could not dictate the price of it there by enriching the South by manjr hun dreds of millions of dollars. Mr. Hayne was only willing to give a meager account of what was said at the reception, but said that he. was much touched and gratified and felt very proud indeed to think that the Vicksburg citizens . had so good an opinion of him. . ' ; Mr. Hayne was enthusiastic about the Elks club; saying that he" consid ered it a finer club building than any New Orleans possesses. He also said he considered the Vicksburg National park the finest of its kind he had ever seen and is well worthr by itself, a visit to' Vicksburg. A Carolina Writer's Else. Danville Register. ; 1 Mr. Robert L. Gray,, formerly edi tor of a Raleigh paper," later of one in Wilmington, , for a time edltoria writer for The Richmond Virginian and still later connected with The News, the Munsey publication in Bal timore, has just been made edltoria! writer on The Washington Times another of Mr. Munsey 's string of newspapers. (The , steady advance ment of Mr. Gray Is a striking trib-r ute to his ability as a writer, and his career is yet hardly more than, fairly begun. In his new position on a newspaper at the capital he has a larger sphere than ever before. The position of The Times on many ques tions and practicularly its attitude to ward political affairS in Virginia, is not generally so accurate as that of The Washington Post and The Her ald, nor of The Star, its rival in the afternoon field. We trust that the addition of Mr. Gray in its Washing ton staff, with his familiarity with Virginia and the South generally, will result in giving The Times a broad er and a fairer view of Virginia and the South generally. Few newspa per writers have: made a better rep utation for brilliant and efficient work than Mr. Gray. - Governor Wilson to Make a Four Weeks Speafcinjr Tour. Trenton, N. J., April 30.

It is said he will discuss poli tical issues on the trip only in a broad, non-partisan siense. Georgie Society of JTew York .Elects Taft Honorary Member. New' York, April. 28. The Georgia Society tonight elected President Taft an honorary member of the organiza tion. ' The constitution of the society has no provision for honorary mem bers, but Mr. Taft was made a member by "special dispensation" in Tecogni-. tlon of the satisfaction which- k the Georgians feel, over the ' appointment of Joseph R.
