MEETING LAST NIGHT
7 Rather Difficult to Get Informa
tion. Too Big for a Private
and Too Small for a Public
Meetine. Want to Beat Duls
and McNinch, Though.
"From all accounts that meeting of
independents last night must have been
.'something of a farce. It is said that
there were a hundred men there, and
yet they saw that nothing was done.
Some say that the meeting was intend
ed tohe private but that more people
canie than was expected and that it
was necessary to have an open meeting,
Of course it was not the intention to
Jmeet behind closed doors, but they
'claim, some of them, that they only in
tended to meet together to have a little
informal conference, to devise ways and
means and so forth. And they say that
'notwithstanding the crowd this was all
they did. . There were no open or pub
lie speeches and it seems that matters
were onlv discussed in an informal
way.They say that a mass meeting will
be held in the near future and that
then the movement will be fairly start
ed on its way. They say that they want
1,000 people at this mass meeting.
At the meeting list night it is also
said that a number of committees were
appointed, but who are on the commit
ters it is impossible to find out.
Trie News man was referred to Mr.
Wilson, of the Charlotte Drug Co. He
v-as told that Mr. Wilson was one of
the leaders in the movement, and had
Ibe names of the committees appointed
last night. When seen by the News
man. Mr.Wiison said that he was not at
the meeting and. knew nothing of it,
or of the committees. He said that he
liad intended going but at the last min
ute could not do so.
Messrs. S. Wittkowsky, L. N. Schiff
Rnd J. C. Long were noticed in consul
tation before the Buford Hotel and a
"News man walked up. Mr. Wittkowsky
said he didn't attend the meeting but
that Mr. Schiff and Mr. 'Long did at
tend. Mr. Long said the report that th
meeting was to be public was a mistake
and that it was meant to be private.
Af stated above, he said, there were no
sr'eches, and no leaders.
i "Who talked?" asked the reporter.
"Not any one," ho was told.
Iid you all just sit around with
cJcsed mouths?"
'"That's about the way of it," said
Mr. Long.
Mr. Schiff said that he had nothing
for publication. He said the meeting
was not meant to be public but that
it-had been , so reported. Committees
"were named and a special committee
was also appointed to notify these com
mittees of their appointment. Mr.
Schiff . refused to give out the names
rfthe men appointed on these commit
tees, saying, that it was not known
whether they would all serve or ' not.
They are being notficd today that they
have been selected to get behind the
movement and give it a push.
Mr. W. C. McWhirter, of the Mc
Whirter Brewery Company, is the only
man who has-been1 seen so far, who is
"willing to talk and he said nothing of
the meeting last night, though he was
present. But he did say, "We want to
beat. Charley Duls and Frank" Mc
Ninch." Mr. J. L. Chambers was at the meet
ing but said he only dropped in as a
spectator and knew nothing of what
was dote.
WORK OF SNEAK THIEF.
Enters House on South-Church Street
and Takes Money.
Some sneak thief entered the home
of Mr. D. J Brown, at the corner of
Second and Church streets, yesterday
afternoon and stole 50 cents and some
apples. Mrs. Brown had stepped oui
somewhere, and not expecting to bo
Kone very long, did not lock the door.
When she came back she noticed that
the apples and this 50 cent piece were
gone. She immediately went to her
bureau and looked, for her purse. It
was there and all right, and she felt
much relieved .
Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Ray live in the
house with Mr. Brown and a trunk
belonging jto them had been opened,
but nothing taken.
Tent Move-1 to Belmont.
The gospel tent has beea . moved
from Church street to Belmont Park,
near the Louise Mill, and Mr. C. P.
Wheeler will on Sunday renew the
gospel tent campaign.
The tent will be at this location for
two weeks. The meeting at this point
was very fine last year, and as this is
a large suburb, no doubt large crowds
will attend the meetings during the
next two weeks. -

INSPECTOR HERE.
Examining New Rural Routes Mint
Hill Service Improvement.
Rural route inspector. S. II. Dawson,
of Maryland, has jiu l completed an in
spection of the proposed new routes
running out from Davidson and foday
has gone to Matthews to inspect the
proposed new route in that section.
There has been some complaint from
the Mint Hill section regarding late
mails and in order to remedy this Post
master R. W, Smith has recommended
the reversal of rout No. 19, which will
now be operated in a reversed direc
tion, so that those who received mails
at a somewhat late hour in the day
before the change, will receive the
mails much sooner now, while those on
the other end of the route will suffer no
inconvenience, as a stop-over of several
hours on the part of the carrier, has
teen done away with by reversing of
the route and all of the patrons are
benefitted.
Also in order to get the mails out
from Matthews at an earlier hour, the
carrier who leaves now at 10:15 will
leave at 8:15 a. m. t
Postmaster Smith is endeavoring to
arrange the rural routes as far as pos
sible so as to give the patrons satisfac
tion; ,an.d when a: change can bej ywade,
thereby giving " better' facilities the
postmaster :Js, ready tpi consider such
changes. ' " "

A HOEO'S TROUBLES.
Smallpox Corpse Has Fruitless Chase.
' Negro Sent On Hts Way.
Last night there came a quick ring
it the telephone bell at the police sta
tion and there was a sudden movement
in the office to answer the summons.
"Hello," shouted the night turnkey,
'anything wrong?"
"Yes," came the reply over the
hone, "there's a nigger down here in
he yards at the Southern passenger
depot that has got smallpox and you
had better get him away. He is up near
he cemetery."
Then there was a stir in police head
quarters and the smallpox emergency
oiitfit was called into action and Officer
Winchester, all ready, for the emer-
ency awaited the moment -to start.
Then everything was ready. Officer
Winchester called " in his colored as-
istant, who aids in handling small
pox cases, and the start was made down
West Trade street.
The party reached the depot and
truck out in the semi-darkness to
wards the cemetery. When they had
gone about three hundred yards up the
road somebody called out "here he is"
and the smallpox corps began to close
n on the unfortunate negro.
Then the officer approached cauti
ously and investigated at a safe dis
tance. In the meantime the negro who
s the subject. of , all the stir, rested
cacefully on, as he lay on the ground
long the railroad. ' -. r
Then the party conferred together. It
udn't look like they had made a suc
cessful diagnosis after all and then
omebody said, "Why, the fellow aint
iot no legs."
Finally they got close enough to dis-
over a negro hobo, with both legs cut
off near the trunk in fcume former acci
dent and he was taken in charge.
The negro was found to be sound ex-
opt for his missing extremities and he
ad chosen this cut of the way place
tor taking a rest, when the smallpox
corps swooped down on him.
The negro gave his name as W. H.
awson and said that Danville was his
ome. He was given a ticket to that
town and hastened on his way last
tight and the emergency corps rcturn-
d to police headquarters, wishing that
he thing had happened at some other
time. . "

From Pimples to Scrofula, from

Speedily Cured by Cuticttra when

The agonizing itching and burning
of the skin, as in eczema; the fright
ful scaling, as in psoriasis ; the loss of
' hair and crusting of the scalp, as in
scalled head ; the facial disfigurements,
as in acne and ringworm ; the awful
suffering of infants and anxiety - of
worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tet
ter and salt-rheum. air demand a rem
edy of almost superhuman virtues to
successfully ccpe with them. That
Cutic.ura Soap, Ointment and Resolv
ent are such stands proven beyond all
doubt. No statement is made regard
ing . them that is not justified by the
strongest evidence. The purity and
sweetness, the power to afford immedi
ate relief, the certainty of speedy and.
permanent ctfre, the absolute ; safety
and great economy, have made them
the standard skin cores, blood purifiers
and humour remedies of the civilized
world.
Bathe the affected parts with hot .
water and Cuticura Soap, to. cleanse -the
surface of crusts and scales and
soften the thickened cuticle. Dry,
. without, hard rubbing, and apply Cuti
cura Ointment freely, to allay itching
irritation and inflammation, and soothe
and heal, and, lastly, take Cuticura Re-"
solvent, to cool and cleanse the blood.
This complete local and constitutional
treatment affords instant relief, per- ;
inits rest and sleep in the severest
forms of eczema and other itching,
burning and scaly humours of the skin,
scalp and blood, and points to a speedy,
permanent and economical cure when
all else fails. ... y
