SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17th, 1906.
Just at 12 to-day the knot was tied.
"Mrs. Alice Longworth" sounds
pretty good especially to "Nick."
If we were an Emperor we'd wire
nr -congratulations but then well,,
we won't say.
LONGWORTH ROOSEVELT.
Today just at the hour of 12 Miss
Alice Lee Roosevelt became the wife
of . Nicholas . Longworth, Representa
t.ive from- Ohio. The ceremony was one
of the most brilliant, if not, uie most,
brilliant, ever witnessed in America.
For pure splendor and brilliancy the
occasion was unequalled. A thousand
guests were present at the ceremony
and all business was suspended in the
Capitol city. The floral decorations
excelled any display ever made in the
White House. ' ' "
The wedding took place in the East
room of the White House, and the spa
cious halls arid corridors of the Presi
dent's home were decked in the most
extravagant style. It was a pageant
of rare and unexcelled beauty, done up
in true American style. '
For weeks the coming: weddina: has
Every mother's daughter of them been the gossip of the entire world,
will be after being married in the same for the wedding is of international in
kind of a gown. ' iterest.
For the past few days the wedding
presents have been pouring in from ev
ery quarter of the globe, demonstrat
ing the position that the young bride
holds in the eyes of the world. Through
it all she has conducted herself in a
manner befitting the daughter, of a
President and she has the esteem and
admiration of the entire country.
In another part of the paper today
we give an elaborate and beautiful ac
count of the whole affair from start to
finish.
"Some are born great. Some achieve
greatness," hut "Nick" Longworth
had "Greatness thrust upon him."
Earthquake shocks are reported from
various parts in the Danish West In
dies today. These are, indeed, perilous
times.
A few days ago an acre of land lying
within three miles of Charlotte was
sold at $300: How is that as an ex
ample of the value of real estate. in and
about Charlotte?
It was most considerate of Miss
Alice and "Nick" Longworth to have
their wedding on Saturday. "It gave
the Saturday afternoon papers such a
good chance.
Since they are reviving the whipping
pest it might be a good idea to bring
back some of those "ways and means"
of chastising various offenders, such as
liars, gossips, etc, which were in
vogue back in colonial times.
Admiral RodjestvensKy says he was
not responsible for the defeat in the
Sea of Japan. The Japanese rather
have the idea ;,that his actions in that
famous battle were not of sufficient
magnitude to force him now to bear
all the responsibilities.
In the death of Paul Lawrence Dun
bar, a few days ago, America lost her
greatest negro poet. Dunbar was black
as ebony and was a typical African.
Seme of his work was exquisite. His
conception of the negro dialect was
true to nature," something which can
rarely be said of the warblers in the
dialect of today. - !
, TO-DAY'S NEWS.
The News to-day has many interest
ing features. We are putting forth ev
ery effort possible to make our Satur
day issues rich and attractive. Among
the features of to-day will be found an
other of - the famous stories of the
other of the famous stories of the se
day is up to the standard of the initial
story of the series, "The Lincoln Grave
Robbers," which is saying a lot. We
also have a full and elaborate account
of the marriage at theWhite House,
the greatest social event of the world
for the year. Among the other fea
tures are to be fo'und the smart dis
course on social functions, entitled,
"Novl Entertainments;" also an ac
count of the work of the Assay Ccmmis
sion, recently in session in Philadel
phia. There are many other features
of intense interest in to-day s issue,
but the lack of space forbids their
mention.
AUNT SPANKED JOHN'S WIFE.
The friendship of America and Ja-(
pan has ever been marked. President
Roosevelt's appeal to the American
people to aid the famine sufferers of
Japan is greatly appreciated by the
people of that country. We are glad
to know that the President has made
this appeal and we are sure that the
American people will respond, as they
have ever been wont to do when the
cry of distress was heard. - '
Mr. T. K. Bruner, in charge of the
immigration work of the North Caro
lina State Board of. Agriculture, states
that he has just succeeded in inducing
an extensive stock farmer of Canton,
Ohio, Mr. George W. Smith, to move to
Orange county where he will engage
in stock raising and general farming
on a large scale. We are more than
glad to note the ardor with which Mr.
Eruner is entering into his work and
the success he is meeting. It is the lit
tle things that count in everything, and
every prominent fanner who can be in
duced to come into our midst with his
improved ideas and capital will help us
that much.
After a long and tiresome siege of 32
days the famous Samuels case has
been decided. At just 12 o'clock yester
day the jury returned a verdict of
guilty. Although they failed to agree
on the counts charging conspiracy, to
all other counts charging false reports
they returned a verdict cf guilty. The
case is one of the most noted tried in
the State in several years. There have
been ugly features connected with the
case. All the political factions and an
imosities existing in the ranks of
Wilkes county Republican camps have
been aired in court. But, the case is
over and the long and tiresome siege
has been brought to an end, and there
is scarcely any one who is sorry of it.
One of the most prolific chicken
thieves we ever heard of was arrested
near -Raleigh recently . He was a
young coon by the name of Henry
Brown and seemed to have had the
.business down to a fine paying point.
He had arranged under his domicile a
colossal coop that was capable of ac
commodating something like 250 chick
ens. . ne was engaged in the shipping
business to a large extent. When he
was arrested he had quite a few dress
ed fowls, as well as a large number
still alive. His chief place or operation
was the chicken coops of the Metho
dist Orphange, but he was not forget
ful of the neighboring hen houses. The
police got him, however, and he will
likely be assigned to road duty. A man
who would steal from an orphan is too
mean to live in a civilized country.
Thouqht "She Needed it" Grandma
Couldn't Boss Matilda.
Poughkeepsie. Feb. 17 Mrs Cathar
ine "Van.' Wyck, testifying today in the
suit brought by her nephew. John Belu-
ing, for a limited divorce from Mathil
da Belding. told of hearing her nephew
in his room struggling to wrest a pis
tol from his wife.
"What did you do then?" Mrs. Van
Wyck was asked.
"Why, I went right over to the bed
and spanked her. I thought she needed
it, and John couldn't do it" ..
Mrs. Shelly, Belding's grandmother,
was asked about the home life in the
Belding farmhouse.
"You bossed the whole family, did
you not?" -
DR. MACK TO REMAIN.
Will Not Accent the Call Extended to
Him by Atlanta Church.
The Waxhaw Enterprise says that
Dr. J. B. Mack, pastor of the Provi
dence and Banks Presbyterian church
es, who has for some "time been con
sidering a call to Atlanta, has finally
decided to decline this call and re
main with the churches at Providence
and Banks. He will in the "hear fu
ture move his family to Fort Mill
to the parsonage at Providence. Dr.
Mack is one of the ablest and most
learned ministers in the Southern
Presbyterian church, and the churches
mentioned are very fortunate in being
able to retain him as their pastor.

Good Boy-Georgie !
i "Oh, George, dear," she whispered,
when he slipped the .engagement ring
on her tapering finger, 'V how. sweet
of yoa to remember just" the sort of
I preferred! None of the others were
ever so thoughtful."
George was staggered for a moment:
then he cams back with, "Not at, all,
dear ; you overrate me.

This is the
'What did you discuss at your liter
ary, club this afternoon, -dear?" ask
ed a Braymer husband of his wife, ac
cording to the "Comet."
"Let me see, replied she. "Oh,
yes, I remember now. We discussed
that woman who recently moved into
the house across the street."
George was right there with the
goods, and so are we when you want
the best. It is seldom when there

Owing to the Crow
ded Condition of our
store room and not
having space to car
ry and display s:
many different lines

now in the markets
buying our springs
stock. New Goods
will begin to arrive '
in a few days and
our spring and sum
mer display will be
much larger . and
more complete than
any previous offer
ing. We have been re
peatedly asked by
people vho have
read the Miller Dry
Goods ad. "if we
had sold out and
gone outof business."
The word "Entire
stock" used by them,
at first glance would
seem that we had
sold out entirely, but
you will note they
"(consisting of Shoes,
Clothing and Gent's
Furnishing," which is
correct. We do not
think for a moment,
that the Miller Dry
Goods Co. would do
anything intentioii
alty to injure our
business and we on
ly mention this to
set the public right
who have miscon
strued the reading
of this ad. and furth
er say the lines we
closed to them are

advise ail who are
looking for bar
gains in Shoes,
