MR. C. W.JOHNSTON ILL BE PRESIDENT He will Succeed Col. William E. Holt, as President of the High land Park Co. Col. Holt Re tires in Order to Give More Time to His Other Business. i;1 Mr. C. W. Johnston, will soon be-' come president of the string of mills now owned by , the Highland Park Co. He will succeed Col. Williain ;..E. Holt, who retires from the presidency o this corporation because his numer ous business interests will not allow him to devote the time that he feels justly due this large corporation. Col. Holt has given Mr. Johnston an option on $82,000 of the stock of the Highland Park Co., now owned by him and Mr. Johnston and some business friends will, in the near future, take over this stocks This does not mean that Col. Holt has no interest in the Higland Park Mills. As a matter of fact he now owns $100,000 of the preferred stock of this corporation. Col. Holt retires from the presidency at the Highland Park Co., with the con fidence and esteem of the entire board of directors and the stock holders. His name has been one of the great "balance wheels" in the life and prosperity of this gigantic corporation. He has made a success, nothing short of the remarkable, and his retirement as the active head of the corporation is generally regretted. , . His successor, Mr. C. W. Johnston, is known far and wide as one of the most successful mill owners of the South. A vast deal of the success of the Highland Park Company, is due to his ingenuity and splendid business fore sight. He started in a modest way at Huntersville, only a few years ago. He has risen fast but no faster than he should; for there is certainly no mill man in North Carolina who has made a more signal success than Mr. John ston. The News hopes that still greater success will crown his efforts in the future. The Highland Park Company is now capitalized at $590,000. Of this amount $294,000 is preferred stock and $2C9, 000 common stock. The present offi cers are: Col. William E. Holt, presi dent; Mr. R. H. Jordan, vice president and Mr. C. W. Johnston, secretary and treasurer. UTS DIE When they eat Stearns9 Electric Rat and Roach Paste . The paste drives them out of the house and (dries up their bodies, leaving no odor.

When they brought the new food, Grape-Nuts, into the house the hus husband sampled it first and said, "It's better than pie!" When it brought back the glow of health to the wife's cheeks, his admiration for it and her was increased, so she says, and the rest of her story follows: "From childhood I was troubled with constant and often acute indigestion, and when my baby was born it turned out that he had inherited the awful ail ment "A friend told me of Grape-Nuts and I invested in a box and began to eat according to directions. It was after only a few days that I found my long abused stomach was growing stronger and that the attacks of indigestion "were less, frequent, and in an incred ibly short time they ceased altogether. With my perfect digestion restored came strong nerves, clear, active brain, the glow of health to my cheeks, and I know I was a better wife and mother and more agreeable to live with under the new conditions. "When the boy came to be ten months old he developed such an appe tite (his dyspepsia disappeared with mine) that his mother's milk was not sufficient for him. He rejected all baby foods, however, till I tried Grape Nuts food, at Husband's suggestion. The youngster took to it at once and has eaten it daily ever since, thriving vonderfully on it. He now demands it at every meal and was much put out when he dined at a hotel a few days ago because the waitress could not fill his order for Grape-Nuts.".

Says Case is "Out Come of infernal Political Row.'' Scores Republican Office Seek ers. Other Speeches ;; Special to The News. Greensboro, f. c., ieb. 15 Yester day was another day of argument and oratory in the Federal Court, there be ing three notable speeches to the jury in the Samuel case. Judge W. P. Bynum made a two hours' speech in the morning. Assist ant District Attorney. Price followed him in an hour's argument for the prosecution and ex-Governor. Ay cock consumed the whole, of the afternoon in his argument for the defendant. Governor Aycock's - argument was a fine effort and. he made manyf bold and striking utterances in the course of his speech of more than two hours, which attracted the closest attention of the court, the jury and a large audience present, to hear him. He began by re ferring to conditions in Wilkes County and declared that Samuel had purified them, as there had not been but one still cut since he resigned. . Explain ing the state of - affairs he said that Wilkes people had for generations been bred to feel that they had the right to turn their corn .into whiskey, their fruit into brandy-Tahd when the Watts law even denied them the right of government stills they simply moved back into the woods and with 95 per cent, of the' population, determ ined to resist the law, and the domi nant party there declaring it ahideous infamy it created an aimospliere of or position to officers that was' not sur prising. "So great was 'this you find one of the chief blocxaders a deputy sheriff, and what the prosecution here calls the King Bee of them all, Lawson Davis, made last year chairman of the county commissioners. Government is never better than the people who are behind it, and wheirpedple who are be hind the officers say ar law shall not be enforced, it cannot be enforced. There is your atmosphere in Wilkes county, and yet they stand there and say Sam uel was responsible for the conditions and corrupting these liberty-loving, suptuary law-hating, independent mountaineers. Samuel, 1 believe 'fnlmy heart, is an honest and faithful officer and citizen as any of these representatives of the Department of Justice; who are prose cuting him. Holton has such a nation al reputation as ai prosecuting officer he is heard of even down in my coun try, and is even there a terror to inno cent men. And ' yet-he has been a month trying to make a case against this brace, courageous offier.' The speaker then took up' eacn item of evi dence and showed where the prosecu tion had utterly failed to make good. It, had failed on the forgery chargex hadl been routed on the charge connected I wuu ijinaoipn .ranter, ana rsiii'' wii-l liams- stills and even had been afraid! to put the detectives and Deputy Mar shall Brown on the stand as witness. He closed with a splendid tribute to Revenue Agent Chapman and to the defendant Samuel's intrepid daring, bravery and efficiency as a citizen and officer. In his powerful argument at tne morning session, ex-Judge W. P. By num, whose celebrated "greed, grab and graft" proclamation issued at the time of the holding of the last Repub lican State Convention" here, is remem bered, took occasion. :o throw ! a few more hot shot at his; Republican breth ren. He began this-ftisnade at the he ginning of his speech, after .the follow ing manner. "The Kwholej prosecution, of my client, Samuei, . is the; outcome of an infernal Republican political row in Wilkes countyi '. something which seemed to actuate many Republicans in this State, who;in their inrernal lust for office, turn .demons in their, efforts to. damn and blacken better men's characters. Here in i Wilkes ; county the evidence v shows, ; in ; March, 1D04, the hottest kind of political contest in every township in the primaries over the selection of Linney or Blackburn men for the Congressional nomination. Blackburn triumphed in the conven tion and in the election Samuel was a strong and honest supporter of Black burn. Immediately following that nomi nating convention was began an un paralleled' system of vituperation and espionage, which never stopped even after reaching the portals of this court. Mixed up with this row was the fight by the ex-revenue officers out, against those who, like Samuel, were in. Fol lowing the example of. higher officials of thier party, these outs depended on breaking back into office by slander and disgrace to those who were in. So it has been in this State, so it is today. Look at it. , Here ia United States Dis trict Attorney Holton. His name has just been sent in to the Senate by tne President for reappointment, and that nomination is being held up in order that charges against his character may be lodged, so that he may he blackened and befouled, it is an infamous state of affairs. It is the most relentless, inhuman, damnable state of affairs that ever existed or was ever permitt ed to exist in any civilized community on top of God's earth. Just let a man have the temerity or the capacity or credit to seek or to properly fill an official position and here flops down upon him a black brood of scavenger harpies who proceed to tear his heart out and hold high carnival over the hellish orgie. Here is Samuel. The prosecution admits he was a man of irreproachable character as an officer and citizen, prior to two years ago. Brave, faith- Jful, daring, he cut up twice as many stills and harrassed more blockades than any officer who ever dashed over the mountains of Wilkes county. Since the Linney and Blackburn row started, every means known to modern detect ive ingenuity have been used to show that this man with a long record of right living and honorable conduct be came suddenly corrupt, and ex-revenue officers, ' and ex-blockaders try ing to get even are the instruments of his torture and peril." That was a specimen of the able ad vocates' exordium. Owing to the ill ness of .Mr. Watson lie will be unable to speak. . Superintendent O'Neill has resigned his position with the company putting down the vitrified brick pavement on South Elm street. It is understood that he will go with some other similar company. His resignation will not in terfere with the paving work, which will go right along. The . west side of the street between -"Washington and Market is now nearly ready, for the brick. . Last night the jury-in the; case of D. H. Fox vs. the Greensbora Electric Company returned a ; verdict awarding the plaintiff $650" damages. The amount sued fcr was $5,000.'
