CHARLOTTE NEWS, JANUARY 1, 1903 3 SNAP SHOTS AT THE STATE HEWS Happenings of Interest From Around Steele Creek The Deadly Toy Cannon and Items of Interest Christmas, with its time of good cheer and good will to men, has come and gone, and we trust every one has had a pleasant time. Notwithstanding the severe cold of the past few days, much visiting and riding about has been done. On Christmas eve the pretty marri age of Miss Jane Neely to Mr. Charles Sledge, was witnessed by a number of relatives and friends at the home of the bride's parents. The bride is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Neelv. and is a most popular and lov able young lady. The groom is the eld est son of Mr. and Mrs. James Sledge, and holds a good position with the Pipe Foundry of Charlotte. Mr. and Mrs. Sledge carry with them the best wishes of a host of friends in this com munity. They received a number of nresents which were both useful and nrettv. Thev will make their future home in Charlotte. Mrs. Walter Kimbrell. of Columbia, S. C, is visiting her parents. Mr. and Mrs. James Sledge. Misses Corinne and Julia and Master John Kendrick. of Rock Hill, S. C, spent part of the holidays with, their grandfother, Mr. R. G. Kendrick.

Misses Carrie and Bessie Faris, of Gold Hill, S. C. have been visiting their sister, Mrs. J. G. Edwards. Miss Sadie Jarhman, the popular teacher at the home of Mrs. J. D.

Mr. Will Neely. the popular sales man with Belk Bros came out to his father's Christmas eve, to attend the Sledge-Neely marriage. Miss Marv Crook returned to Win- throp College Monday after spending the holidays at the home or ner par ents. Quite a good number gathered at Flint Hill church on last Sunday to witness the farewell sermon of Rev. A. L. Stough, who has been preaching at that place for the past eight years. He preached an excellent sermon from I Cor. 13:11. A sad scene followed when while the chair sang "God be With You Till We Meet Again," the members gave their yastor a farewell hand shake. The church is undecided as to its future pastor. MAE.

FROM AT TO CATTLE SENATOR ELKINS' MILLIONS. Starting With Fifty-two Cents in His Pocket, Young Man at 23 is on Nigh Road to Wealth Omaha, Neb., Dec. 31. A uniformed messenger at 18; six months later a tramp with 25 cents in his pocket; in 1902, 23 years old, a young cattle king, Company at Wheeling and he has ac Said To Have Made Between Seven and Eight of Them in FevYears. Elkins, W. Va., Dec. 31. It is esti mated by persons in a position to know that Senator Stephen B. Elkins has cleaned up between $7,000,000 and $8, 000,000 in the last few years. He is rap idly taking a place among the multi millionaires. The sale alone of the West Virginia Central to the Wabash meant several millions in his pocket. For some time he has been acquiring railroads and coal territory in Central West Virginia. There is hardly a coun ty in the State in which he has not ac quired valuable interests, and ho is identified with many of the banks starting up in the new towns. He is in vesting largely in Wheeling, Morgan town, Parkersburg and Clarksburg. He recently started the Security Trust TNIISMED Is By TARDINESS aL v e !5he Labels Citizen of Duplin Dead. WILMINGTON. Mr. J. J. Ward. who resides near Wallace, Duplin county, died suddenly Sunday morn ing about 6 o'clock. He was getting out of bed and fell to the floor and died in a few minutes. Heart failure was the cause of death. Mr. Ward was aged 81 years and on the high road to wealth. Such is the remarkable history in a nutshell of "Bert" Moore, who went into the stockyards in South Omaha last week, taking several carloads of fat steers from his Wyoming ranch. After disposing of them at a good price he walked up to the Western Union Telegraph office in Omaha to inspect the place where he had spent four years as a messenger boy. Young Moore asked for his "time" one day, saying he was determined to go to Wyoming and become a cattle king. He homesteaded 160 acres ot land in the Big Horn basin, and in duced two cowboys to do the same. He made his first shipment of cattle to quired extensive interests in the Wheeling Traction Company and the West Virginia Bridge and Construction Company. He recently bought the Mor gantown and Kingwood railroad, bet ter known as "The Black Bottle," for $265,000. His coal and coke holdings, bank and water-works interests in Morgantown aggregate a total invest ment of nearly $2,000,000. His Parkers- bure interests largely lie in the Wabash railroad connections. Senator Elkins has been planning railroads in West Virginia to reach his extensive coal tracts, which will be built out of his own capital. His sons are active in assisting in the manage ment of his interests. As is well known, Senator Elkins is several times a mil lionaire from the ownership of mining this market 18 months later. He se cured possession of the homesteads of ciajras Gf various kinds in the West his two cowboy friends a year ago, anci now has 480 acres of fine grazing land.

Va., Dec. 31. The tardi ness of a telegraph operator prevented the ditching of No. 5 Chesapeake and Ohio fast express near a small station west of here this afternoon. The train was an hour late and was dashing on for Cincinnati at a speed of 60 miles an hour. On nearing the sta tion the engineer noticed the block signal against him and he brought his train to a standstill. The operator, looking from the sta tion window, noticed that he had failed to raise the signal to give the train right of way. It was hoisted immedi ately and the train moved on. Just yond was a sharp curve. The train had not attained a spaed of 15 miles an hour when it went around the curve. Then the engineer saw, less than 200 feet away, two large bowlders that had rolled from the mountainside upon the track. He was able to stop in time. Had the operator not forgotten to give a clear signal the train would have crashed into the bowlers at a 60-mile-an-hour speed. From Bottles of Tablets And Get the Beautiful Parlor V7 W1SS Clock.

Government May Proceed As In the Railroad Case. Washington, Dec, 31 "If the mana gers of the great packing houses of the United States, enjoined in the United States courts last June from continuing their practices in restraint of trade, think they will find the Gov ernment any less active when they seek to create a greater and more complete monopoly now, they are likely to find themselves much mistaken." This statement was made today by a Government official who was asked how the creation of the much-heralded beef merger would be regarded by the Roosevelt Administration. The official is not connected with the Department of Justice, and Attorney-General Knox and his assistants will not discuss steps that they are likely to take. Latest reports from Chicago are that the beef merger is going to take the form of a security-holding company, similar to that against which the Gov ernment is already proceeding in the case of the Northern Securities Com nanv of New Jersey. The Government is entirely confident of winning this case, and if the beef mereer is arranged on similar lines it is presumed that the Department of Justice will have little aouDt oi us ability not only to secure convictions of contempt in disobeying Judge uross cun's iniunction issued last summer but also to show that a security-hold- in v mmranv: it created IU lesiiam trade, is just as illegal when applied to"'great packing houses as wnen ap plied to competing lines of railroads.

Americans could not continue to view with indifference the invasion of for eigners into the richest region of the Amazon valley. In view of the events in Venezuela Senor Villaneuva said Bolivia must find some exit from her unenviable posi tion or calmly await the threatended arrival of foreign warships, "which will eventually come to claim at the cannon's mouth imaginary debts aris ing from unpleasant complications that are bound to arise."
