Arrested on Suspicion.
Ernest King and Dock Bass
were arrested Sunday morning
on suspicion of hiding a sack of
United States Mail. Sunday
raorning after train No. 112,
■which arrives here at 1:32, had
passed, Geo. Florence, third trick
operator, missed one lock pouch
of niaiJ and immediately notified
night clerk John 0. Jones, who
with Florence and night police
man, Amick, made a silent search
finding the missing sack on the
other side of a car near the sta
tion. The sack was secretly ta
ken away, ^he mail taken out
and refilled' with papers, and
placed at the place found, ‘with
policeman Amick on duty to
watch.
Shortly after everything becam
quiet these boys who had been in
the passenger depot came to the
sack and were aiTested by Amick,
carried to jail and later bonded
out, waiting trial Friday morning
before Esq. W. A. Hall. The ac
cused have employed able attor
neys. Bass is about eighteen
and King perhaps two year’s old
er. Both are of respectable fam
ilies.
Chicago, Oct. 16.—An endorse
ment of Robert Marion La Fol-
tette, of Wisconsin, for president
of the United Sta,tes, was the net
result of the widely heralded
meeting of the National Repub
lican Progressive League held at
the LaSalle hotel today. Three
hundred progressives from thirty
States were present. There were
those who rather expected a gen
eral platform would be discuss
ed, carefully drawn andadopted.
There has been for months and
was at the meeting, much talk
about progressive principles.
The cutting from its moorings of
the La Follette boom for presi
dency, however, was the only
action taken.
The resolutions adopted sum
up the whole business olthe day.
They set forth, not a Republican
platform, but the personal plat
form of Senator La Follette.
They contain aplaiil^ for the con
trol of corporations by the gov
ernment with an inferential at
tack upon the president for pi ->se-
cuting the trusts; a plank (t>e
Bourne suggestion) for a popiilaj.'
vote on the candidates for presi
dent, whether compelled by law
or not, and the endorsement of
Senator La Follette.
Qidden Tonr.
The most distinguished party
n^aking the Glidden tour, which
stitrted from New York for Jack
Fonville, Florida, last Saturday,
is undoubtedly that in the Stev *
ens-Duryea team of three cars.
It cOmes more nearly b«ing an
official party than any of the oth
ers, too, for one Steyens-Duryea
is iking driven by Vice-president
Brooks Morgan of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, who has
as his guests two other viee-presi
dents of that influential organiza
tion; another is driven by former
Senator Wheatley of Georgia; and
the third by C. S. Johnson of At
lanta
Charles B. Aay ward of the So
ciety of Automobile Engineers,
of which he was formerly secre
tary, accompanies the Stevens-
Duryea team.
Heavy rains, which filled the
roads with ruts and holes, and
gullied out the waterbreaks made
the start of the tour as severe a
test as the cars are likely to be
put to anywhere in the course of
the run. The Stevens-Duryeas
made perfect scores, being among
the first to reach each control.
Between Lancaster and Gettys
burg, in Pennsylvania, rough-go
ing pounded the cars particulai-
ly hard, but the Stevens-Duryea
team came through the punish
ment without a sign of having
felt it, and in perfect eondilt
for the 182 mile run on Moiui y ,
which is considered the most (h ;-
ficult stretch of road on the ;i-
tire route.
OBITUARY.
{Written by reguest of T. S.
Coble).
Miss Elizabeth Soots died at
Randleman, Oct. 11th, 1911. She
had passed the 82nd mile post in
life. She joined the M. P. Church
at Mt. Pleasant when she w'as
about twenty years old and lived
a consistant Christian until her
Savior said ito her leave the
church Militant and enter the
church Triumphant. She left
three sisters and many friends
to mourn their loss. Oiie sister
at Randleman, Mrs. J. M. Laugh-
lin, one at Haw River, Mrs. E.
M. Coble, and one at Raddin, 111.
Mrs. Sarah Friddle, who will
according to Nature be gathered
on the sunny banks of Eternal
deliverence very soon.
She was a great sufferer for
several months before the end
came, but she was cheerful un
der it ail and was never heard to
complain. The day before her
death the family was called to
her bedside. Many things she
wanted to say, but was so weak
she could only speak a few of
them. The first thing she said
how she had always enjoyed the
preaching of the Gospel and how
she loved her church. Next she
gave directions as to her funeral
service. Her dying message as
from an Angel's tongue deliver
ed in such a refined and intelli
gent way . Her death was a beau
tiful way picture of her Christian
life. She will be missed, but
not forgotten, for all who knew
her will cherish her memory.
While we know that God makes
no mistakes, that her death was
for some goc^ purpose. We pray
our Heavenly Father to let some
of the light of Eternal day break
over that sad home and dnve a-
way the shadows. Here let us
wait till the morn breaks on the
golden shore then we will meet
our lovM ones where pgirting
will be no more. With these
fond hopes we commit our friend
to mother earth and her soul to
God and her virtuous life to her
friends.

in self defense; that Whitaker
was conjing at him with an open
knife. ;; His statement is that
when h^ saw Whitaker coming
towardf with the knife, he told
him tof stand back, and upon
Whitakfe*’s refusing to heed’ the
wamingi Kallam fired* the ball
entering his head- Whitaker fell
land died in about three minutes.
Whitltker was about 63 yeats
old and is survived by a v/ife and
sfsveral children. He and Kal iam
studied law at Wake Forest, and
at the sanie tinie the first nanied
secured his license from the Su
preme Court to practice law three
years ago, and the latter a year
later. Kailam' is also editor of
the Pilot Mountain News, a week
ly newspaper. He is a cripple,
unmarried and about 63 yearg
old. ,
According to the messages re
ceived here, Whitaker and Kalr
lain had been at outs for a year
or more, and some of their friends
have been predicting serious trou
ble between the two men for some
time. One of the causes of the
.bad blood existing between the
t'.vo men resulted from Whitaker
having Kajlam indicted for an al
leged offense.

liP TAFT’S TRAIN
presidential train iijassed through
Ashland. The President's car
was loaded with flowors ? and the
Stewart had acciimulated enough
fruit to furnish the President’s
table for days to come.
The scenery today was almost
as pleasant to look upon as the
fruit and flower's. A few miies
out from Salem, the first stop of
the day, the Pread;ent got a look
at Mount Hood. For two hours
the snOw-capped peaks delighted
his eyes.
Mr. Taft spoke on many sub
jects. He declared several times
that the old ba,ttieship Oregon
should be the fir^t vessel through
the Panama canal; an announce
ment ^hat always brought forth
cheers. He spoke oin peace
and arbitration and a half
dozen other topics. The strain
told a little on his voice, but in
dications are that by the time
San Francisco is reached tomor
row, the President will be speak
ing again with his full power.
The apparen t prosperity of the
couh|:ry through which he travel
ed gave the Prfesident a hew text
for his plea for arbitration treat

MESN’S BIBLE AND EARACA
Why Bryan Should ViiAe RepnbUc*
an Ticketi
In an addreiss at Kansas City a
fetv days ago, Mr; W.^. Bryan,
injB^king of the I^sideiicy,
said;.’"
‘ In addition to the many
other reasons why I should
not agaih run for President,
is that one Republican Pres
ident having used niy plat
form in part and another Re
publican , President having
used it entirely, I am afraid
if I became a candidate again
the Republijearis would bring
the third term eharge against
me.”
If one Republiqan President
has used Mr. Bryan's platform
in part and another Republican
President has used his platform
entirely, then why shouldn’t Mr.
Bryan a,nd his frieMs all come
over and vote for a Republican
President. Mr; Bryan has never
b^n able to secure the election
himself. He has never been able
to get just the riian he wanted
nominated on the Democratic
ticket^ except when he was the
candidate, and even if the Deiii^
ocrats could elect a President Mr.
Bryan has no assur^ihce that^dd
Democrat would carry out his
platform.
If a Republic^i^ President is
carrying out Mn Bryaii’s plat
form, as he claims, then it would
seem that the wost sensible thing
for Mr. Bryan and Hs follower
would be to vote for that man’s
re-election.—Caucasian.
That the average child outside
North Carolina has a 50 per cent
logger school term, a 50 mi* cent
better chance for. an education,
in spite of our decade of educa
tional progreM, than the average
boy or girl inside North Garblina;
that the Japanese, with one-tenth
of our wealth, are giving their
children ten months’ schtxjls,
while North Carohna doesn’t
give five; in short, that the great
educational crusade in which Mc-
Iveri Aycock urid Joyner have
been leaders is yet but half won—

We have no sympathy for the

and widow went visiting at Hills
boro, guests Of Mrs. A. H. Rim-
mer. Now we extend our sin
cere sympathy to Mrs. Rimmer,
knowing the ap]^tite of our cou
sin J. M., especially away from
home. As fruit and vegetables

J. M. is looking very thin. Hope

Two Men KiOed as Resuk of Dis

Adel, Ga., Oct. 17.-T. L Hill
and J. M. Revels, farmers, liv
ing near here, were shot and
killed today in a quarrel over a
hog belon^ng to a tenant on
Hill’s place which had gotten in
to a field belonging to Revels.
When the men met this morning
hot words were passed and. Hill
shot Revels. A son of Revel's
then shot Hill through the heart.
Ex-Goyernor made a speech in
Wilkesfepro on oiie occasion, dur
ing which he referred to Nortk
Carolina’s unenviable position in
point of esilti^cation compared with^
he other states of the Union.
The then Governor had recently
returned from a visit to some of
the New England states, where,
he declared, the people in the
country were prosperous, lived
in painted homes with well kept
xJp, and
bna!!y among the other states.
Not so iii North CaroliiiSa, he said
in substance, we are one of the
poorest states in the Union and
we rank second in ignorance on
ly one state, Sout^ Carolina rank
ing lower than we; that tiie ne
groes of North Carolina are bet
ter educated than those of South
Carolina, and that that was the
reason we Were not below South
Carolina. Whereas he expresseli
l^reat joy and exclaimed. “God
ess our niggers.”
It is claim^ by some who hav«
made investigation that only one
half of the money that is raised
by tax€» for public schools in
North Carolina goes to the pub^
school teachers, the other half
being required to keep the mao-
hinery greas^. If this is true,
and we believe our information
is reliable, it is no wonder that
our school term is so short, and
a reform in our public achoo! sys
tem is badly ne^ed. What we
need is less partisan politics and
more i»tTiOtism. —Wilkes Patriot
The above figures show North
