Seating himself In a most comfortable posi tion in the living room of bis beauti ful Colonial home on Chapel Hill Street, this morning about 11:30 o'clock. Dr. Will Graham, one of .the most prominent physicians of this city, placed the barrel of a pistol In hia mouth and sent a bullet through I his head, death resulting almost in stantly. Dr. Graham was alone In the room at the time, and no one else was in the house except the colored servants In the kitchen. They heard a muffled sound, but though it was the noise of falling lumber on an adjoining lot where a new building is being erect ed. Mrs. P. C. Graham, a sister-in-law of the dead man, found him upon her return from a visit about two hours later. He was seated in the chair with his head leaning back with one arm resting comfortably on the arm of the chair and the other arm grasping tightly the weapon byj which the deed was committed. ! No cause has been assigned for the rash act except that the dead man was In bad health, and had slight chances of ever being better. Dr. Graham was the great-grandson of Governor William A. Graham, a nephew of Major W. A. Graham, Commissioner of Agriculture, and also of Judge A. W. Graham, of Ox ford, and Col. Benehan Cameron, of Raleigh. He is survived by his fath er, three brothers, one sister, a wife and two small sons. His wife was In Atlantic City at the time. to Southern ta 3 stifle?

And now some of the Democratic politicians say that we pay too little tax. Well, just wait and see what the voters say about it at the next election. The Charlotte Observer refers to Dr. Mary Walker as a mere self-made maa. And in her case alone the clothes make the man otherwise she would be a woman.

Chinese troope under General Feng have been dispatched to the disturbed district And now they have reduced the majority of the Democratic sheriffs vote in Forsyth to two votes. If they will whittle on it some more, they may get the right man in office. When some of the Democratic pa pers speak of "tariff reform," they mean free trade. Which being liter ally translated means free soup- houses to support the unemployed. Some of the Democratic "good gov eminent" supporters now want a law and order league in order to have the law enforced.

" And to think that such a condition of lawlessness exists in Aycock's home county and oaly a few miles from the home of Red-Shirt Falson! Some of Raleigh's citizens want a law and order league. Why did the "good government forces" turn this town upside down in trying to beat the "Democratic Ring," if it was not for the purpose of putting men in office who would enforce the law? ASSAULT JO MURDER Negro Committed Two Das tardly Crimes in Warren County Sunday Mrs. J. E. Chaplan Criminally As saulted and Her Father Fatally Wounded by the Brute Negro Arrested and Placed in Jail Ne gro's Father Aided in Arrest. Warrenton, Sept. 17. A negro, George Marshall, lately returned from the North, late yesterday af ternoon criminally assaulted Mr!. J. E. Chaplan, the wife of a respectable farmer of Vicksboro, 14 miles from here, after having threatened to kill her. When the father learned 01 it, and went after the negro, the latter shot him twice, perhaps fatally in juring him. Then the neighborhood was aroused and the negro barri caded himself in a house. When the sheriff came to arrest him, the negro shot him and two ther members of the posse. This morning after the house had been watched all night the negro's father, by a ruse, enter ed the house with other negroes and overpowered him, when the posse rushed in, bound him and brought him here to jail. The whole of the two counties is aroused over the atrocious deed and it is reported that a mob will attempt to lynch him to night. Court convenes to-morrow morning and if not lynched he will be tried at once. Negro Tried and Convicted. The negro who assaulted Mrs. Cop- lin and shot her father was tried at Warrenton Tuesday and the jury re turned a verdict of guilty after being out only ten minutes. Judge Justice sentenced the negro to die October 20th.

South to Go Overwhelmingly Re publican. c The Columbia, S. C, Dally Record, Democratic, in a recent Issue had the following to say on the political sit uation in the solid South: "It is paradoxical, but the prospect of a Democratic victory holds out the surest promise of abandonment of the one-party government in the Southern States. Since reconstruc tion there have been numerous at tempts to establish, upon one basis or another, a respectable Republican party In the South, but all of these have failed. If the effort Is to suc ceed It will come about as It should come, as the result of differences of opinion upon an economic question. 'TV a fUnntinn nrVlfsilt IsiasYa tits f this conclusion is revealed by, the re spective positions taken by the South ern cotton manufacturers on the one hand and the Southern Democrats Inj Congress on the other with regard to the revision of the cotton schedule. The American Cotton Manufacturers' Association, which is the organiza tion of Southern cotton mill presi dents, at its convention In Charlotte last May appointed a standing com mittee to represent the association in all matters respecting the tariff and other legislation, and thlsc ommittee In carrying out the purpose of its ap pointment sought to secure a hearing m m x a Hi. otner legislation, ana uus Bewler, iho was attempting to tee oi vie jtiouse, ana tamos 1U disarm him. the committee presentea to unairman; Underwood statements of its case in the form of three bulletins, which have been printed and widely circu lated. The committee and conse quently the Southern manufacturers, oppose a reduction of the tariff du ties on cotton goods. Necessarily the arguments presented by the cot ton manufacturers rest upon the doc trine of protection to domestic indus tries, and this is just as necessarily a Republican doctrine. The Demo cratic doctrine is a tariff for revenue only, without regard to protection, either incidental or primary. The Ways and Means Committee did not disregard the arguments of the cot- on manufacturer's committee, as we understand it, but the Ways and Means Committee did not give the manufacturers a hearing, since it was considered that the very recent hear- ngs on the whole tariff quetsion prior ;o the Payne-Aldrich bill afforded the Ways and Means Committee all he necessary Information for fram- nf a Democratic bill. But the Ways and Means Committee has disregard ed the theory upon which the posi tion of the manufacturers rest. The Ways and Means Committee, the chairman of which is a Southern m . 111. ll.nMl man, nas not perm n. tea eecuuui considerations to control its decisions in regard to the tariff. Therein lies the genesis of a respectable Repub lican party in the South. "For if the Southern cotton mills are to have protection the Democratic party, through Chairman Underwood, has served notice upon them that pro tection cannot be expected from the Democratic party. So far as the tariff is concerned, the Southern cotton manufacturers, who honestly, if self ishly, believe In the doctrine of pro tective tariff, must become Republi cans. As we understand it, there are Southern cotton manufacturers who do not believe in this doctrine, bu the records show at this time, that their organization is committed to that policy. That they should accord ingly take the leadership in the for mation of a Republican party, respec table as to its membership and-as to its principles, is altogether natural That such a party would find many other supporters than cotton manu facturers alone is also certain. The lumber interests in many of the Southern States are extensive, and their influence has already been felt in tariff legislation at Washington. In addition there are thoughtful men In the South not directly or personally interested or benefited who subscribe to the doctrine of protection. With a full realization of this condition It has been realized that, should the Democratic party come into power here would be found Its chief , diffi culty. In framing a tariff bill would a Democratic House and Senate and a Democratic President make conces- B01ME VmS WIS WEEK IN HE CAUCASMTI Every Subscription Sent In Dy Wednesday Sept ember 28 Will Dave Bonble Voticn Power See The New Votinn Scale Pntlisbed To-day Lono Term Subscriptions IVortb FJcre Won Than At Any Otter TIme Isierest la Tbe Csaet&n Ccslest Is Siitt-tnit Frieak tl e Ccr!ntnb Sea tic Pctrishcd Sfcsihg Ei;triy, Ltzij to Cc!?

Boston, Mass., Sept. 19 Six prom inent business men connecteu witn the United Shoe Machinery Company were indicted to-day by the Federal grand jury for alleged violations of the Sherman anti-trust act. Two indictments were returned, al leging the maintenance of an unlaw ful combination and conspiracy In re straint of trade on the part of Presi dent Sydney W. Winslow, Vice-Presidents Edward P. Hurd, George' W. Brown and William Barbour; Coun sel Elmer P. Howe and James J. Storrow. Messrs. Winslow, Hurd, Brown, Howe and Storrow are Bos- tonians while Mr. Barbour is a resi dent of New York. All except Mr. Storrow are dlrectores of the com pany. Mr. storrow resignea irom the dlctorate just before the muni cipal election two years ago when he was a candidate for mayor, but is the largest stockholder. The grand jury sat for nearly a month considering the evidence pro duced by 75 witnesses who were brought here by special agents of the Department of Justice at Washing ton from all parts of the country, but especially from New England. The investigation was in charge of United States Attorney Asa P. French, assisted by Special Assistant Attorney-General William 5." Gregg and Oliver E. Pagan, of Washington. The- indicted officials will be sum moned into court to the indicements and furnish bail. The penalty provided under the statutes involved is a fine of 35,000 err. Imprisonment for one year, or both. The trial will not take place until well along In the winter, owing to the crowded condition of the Cir cuit Court calendar. According to Mr. Gregg, the Indict ments charge that the six defend ants have been working through the instrumentality of the .United Shoe Manufacturing Company in a way to make them criminally liable under the Sherman act. It seems that It was the nigh cos of liquor, and not the high cost o living that caused Maine to go Demo cratic last year. -Clinton News-Dis patch. . . - by over-confldence.

Such reports should only urge one to greater efforts. Dont Be Discouraged.

Be sure of yourself, your friends will then be sure of you, and know that they are not wasting their votes on some faint-hearted person who might in a moment of dejection drop out of the Contest and make all their efforts count for nothing.
