"The howl from the woods" cer-tthe . . . , . . tainly was heard in Wake County last Saturday. That "red-headed" horse of the News and Observer arrived in Greens boro all right, all right. Texas may go entirely dry. It has been thought that the average Texan is always in this condition. The News and Observer seemed to think that the Morehead-Duncan fight was its private affair. The meanest thing they said about It was that the Wake County Re publicans acted like Democrats. A new cock-tail has been Invented by a bartender, who calls it "the Democrat." It must be badly mixed. Mr. Jeffries, late of Reno, has clearly barred himself from pugilistic i t circles. He has "nothing more to! say." j Perhaps those Sixth District Dem ocrats want to elect both of them and give each half a vote. That's about ttevr sue. The editor of The Caucasian hum bly pleads guilty to having been a reader of the Greensboro News dur ing the recent weeks. If the Democrats do not like pie, what in the name of Sam Hill are all these long drawn-out and bitterly fought conventions held for? The Raleigh voters will take a tip from those recent fires and will ap ply the direct pressure to the "re fawm" administration next May. We are now reliably informed as to who is the editor-manager-editor-in-chief-manager-of-every-department etc., etc., of the Greensboro News. Mr. Settle says the Connor ap pointment was not an unmixed evil. It gave us a chance to learn what the Democrats thought of each other. Dr. "Red Shirt" Faison will not be chairman of the committee on edu cation, if elected. He favors the abolishing of the free school system. Buncombe is trying to redeem herself. One of Aycock's "mocking birds," with a record of our killings and acquittals, has finally been con victed. We hope Mr. Steele, the Richmond County Democrat, who bought the nomination for Treasurer with $700, will not live up to his name, if elected. Both Mr. Godwin and Mr. Clark say they are satisfied with that com mittee. What one of them will say as to the committee's decision Is an other story. A glance at the news columns shows that Aycock's mocking-birds are still singing lustily in North Carolina. One sings someone to death each day. Anyhow, though we were lively at times, the Wake Republicans didn't smash chairs over heads, break arms or call in the police of neighboring cities to preserve order.

Va., Aug. 5. That Mayor Bousman himself lighted the fuse that caused the xplosion that sent his soul into eternity seems to have been proven beyond the shadow of a doubt by detectives who have beeen at work on the case since the night the mayor was literally blown to pieces on his lawn. The evidence seems very conclu sive. The mayor was known to have been heavily in debt. He carried an accident policy for $6,000, and a few days before he met his death he took out two life insurance policies, one for $1,000 and one for $2,000, giv ing notes in payment for them.- He had of late been experimenting with dynamite, and the ttfo sacks that were found near the scene were identified positively as some that he had purchased a day or so previous. The conculsion of the detectives is accepted by practically everybody in Ridgeway; even by members of the mayor's family, it is said. McKIXLEY OPTIMISTIC. Tells President OongTess Will Be Republican. Beverly, Mass., Aug. 6. President Taft had a long talk this evening with William McKinley, chairman of the Republican Congressional Cam paign Committee. Mr. McKinley told the President that he had absolutely no doubt but that the next House would be Republican, basing his be lief on the fact that the Middle West will have bumper crops. Congressman McKinley said this afternoon that the President would J not know either insurgent or regu- lars in the campaign. He would j simply know Republicans and Demo-j crats. - i Tragic Incidents Mar Gala invents. Chicago, 111., August 9. One trag ic death, one accident which physi cians say will prove fatal and a doz en minor mishaps, due to the crowds, cast a shadow to-day over the par ade of what Masons say was the greatest number of Knights Templar who ever formed in line in any city. Except for a slight thunderstorm lasting but a short time, the weath er during the long march, was per fect. From 9 o'clock when the sig nal to start was given until after 1 p.. m. when the last Knight had pass ed before the reviewing stand, the thermometer ranged from 71 to 79 degrees, while a cool breeze prevent ed any considerable discomfort from heat among the assembled thousands. More than 40,000 Knights were In line, while over -half a million spec tators sat in the huge reviewing stand occupying the entire east side of Michigan Boulevard as far south as Twelfth street or stood patiently along the line of march. MAYOR GAYIIOR SHOT Discharged City Employee Shoots and Wounds New York City's Mayor. WOUND IS NOT FATAL Mayor Gaynor, Prominently Men- Uoned am a Candidate for Irei dent, Shot By Discharged City Km ployeo Was Just Starting on Va cation Assassin is Xoi Insane and Roasts of nis Ieed Shot Three Times. Hoboken. N. J.. Aug. 9. Mayor William Gaynor, of New York, while standing on the deck of the Kaiser Whilhelm de Grosse, preparatory for; by a man giving his name as James J. Gallaher, a discharged foreman in the Department of Docks and Fer ries. Four bullets were fired, one striking Maynor Gaynor. who is' crit - ically, though not necessarily fatally, wounded. The would-be assassin was over powered by a policeman and Big Bill Edwards of the Street Cleaning De- partment. The bullet was fired from behind. Mayor Gaynor was first! given medical attention on board the ship, then rushed in an ambulance to St. Mary's Hospital, where he was operated upon. Surgeons say Gay nor has a chance for recover. Galla- her was rushed to the Hoboken police station and arraigned before Record - eLMC?rBd Jfm?ed t0,Ja,I without bond, pending the result of thn mavor's iniuries. . . Tne Duiiet entered nacK or tne ; ear in region of the mastoid bone, where it buried itself. Gallaher fired three shots, the first one striking the mayor. Big Bill Edwards made a flying tackle and hurled Gallaher to the deck with ter rific force. Then Edwards, weighing 350 pounds, sat astride Gallaher's chest. Former President Roosevelt, after he heard of the shooting, telegraph ed the mayor's secretary, saying: "I am shocked and horrified beyond measure. Send me information con cerning the mayor's condition." The police elicited a statement from Gallaher in which he said he j came over to Hoboken this morning and went on the pier where he had ' a clergyman point out the mayor to him. He said he knew the mayor ! was going to Europe to enjoy him-j self after depriving him of bread and butter and he was irritated to the point of committing the act. . , i-rcsiuens xaii ureauy Miocea. Beverly, Mass., Aug. 9. Presi dent Taft learned of the attempted assassination of Mayor Gaynor while playing golf at Myopia to-day. He was greatly shocked and ex pressed the hope that the mayor might recover. Until further de tails of Gaynor's condition are re ceived he asked to be excused from a formal statement. Wanted to Leave Quietly. New York, Aug. 9. Mayor Gay nor had expressed a desire that there be absolutely no "fuss" about his de parture on his vacation trip abroad. Yesterday when those who wanted to bid him farewell called at the City Hall he asked particularly that there be no ceremony or demonstration when he boarded his ship to-day. The mayor's projected solitary va cation was in keeping with his epcu liar character. Those who know him well respect his desire for soli tude, that is evidenced in his daily life. He had planned to be all alone during his month's vacation. New York State will probably claim the right to try Mayor Gaynor's assailant. Immediately after the news of the shooting was received at the oflice of the District Attorney, Acling District Attorney Frank Moss and Assistant District Attorney Per kins went into consultation. After the conference it was announced that they had discovered, under an an cient law, that the New York State courts had legal "jurisdiction over the high-water marks on the New Jersey shore." v Under this law. If it is still avail able, as the BDstrict Attorney's of fice believes, Galalgher wouldhave to be tried in the New York courts for his crime committed on the Hud son river and well inside the water mark of the New York jurisdiction. As soon as this law was discover ed Moss sent Assistant District At torneys Turnhull and Hamill to Ho Doken to investigate the crime as well as to tender to Mrs. Gaynor the, condolences of the District Attor ney's office. It was practically decided that New York would make official de mand for the custody of the prisoner and the right to place him on trial. Gallagher Perfectly Sane. Galagher showed some reluctance j about talking, and the lssprste first created that h was a crank was later dUs!?atd. He ar sheared rational and did cot show the least excitement, talking calmly aad nat - urally. He was very bitter against aotset After he had made his statement ; he was taken to the police photo-1 graph gallery and his picture was! taken. Later his Bertillon measure-! i ments were entered. He will be seat to the Hudson County jail later; In tho day. Callaher is a widower with no! children, and lived at 4 40 Third Ave-; nue. New York City. He was dls-f charged on June 1st from the Do- j partmeat of Docks and Ferry on j charges of intoxication. At that t time he had been In the employ or the city four years and four days.

Attack on Supreme Court. Washington, Aug. 9. Armed wjth fiery resolutions adopted at an excit - ed massmeeting, a committee of j committee ! prominent negroes of this city to- j I day began work on a plan to induce i ! all the negroes of the United States to join in a protest against lynching and race riots and to demand pro- tection and equal rights in all parts of the country. Texas was denounced, the whole South was arraigned, the Supreme Court of the United States was in veighed against and the newspapers of the country were attacked, amid scenes that at times bordered on a riot.
