MAY COM County Politics Aie Warming Up Several Candidates are Said to Be Preparing to Make The Race for Sheriff Mt. L. H. Robinson Will bz a Candid ate. County politics are even at this ear ly date beginning to stir and the poli ticians of the county are dividing in terest in the national political doings with the smaller but none the less (to people hereabouts) interesting ques tion as to how things will go in the county. SHERIFF. To begin with, the sheriff's office has already experienced a change in the resignation of Deputy Sheriff Porter and the acceptance of the deputy's place by former Deputy Sheriff John ston, who moved into the jailer's- apart ments at the county jail with his fam ily yesterday. Mr. Porter will be a candidate for the sheriff's office, it is understood. Sheriff Wallace will also make the race again. Others whose names have been mentioned for sheriff by their friends are ex-Fire Chief W. S. Orr, Mr. Will Cochran and Mr. 1 II. Rob inson. Mr. Robinson has been urged for some time by friends to make the race and has consented to do so. He has for the past 16 years been a mem ber of the county democratic executive committee. He is one of the best farm ers of the lower end of the county and an estimable citizen, with an in timate acquaintance with county af fairs. Messrs. Cochran and Orr have not yet stated positively that they will enter the lists. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. It is hinted also that there will be a change In the personnel of the coun ty commissioners. Messrs. McKee and eHnderson, It Is said, have ex pressed their intention of not running again. The choosing of a county commis sioner, is a matter of keen interest in any township. Rightly or wrongly, the people of any township look to a com missioner frm their district to see to it that at least an equal part of the county's munificence comes their way. With the countvmen oiling ud kind ling under one pot, and the citymen watch the aiaermanic pot wnicn is al ways boiling there'll be something do ing in Mecklenburg this year. Committee of -100 Meets 1 his Afternoon This afternoon at 5 o'clock a meet ing of the committee of 100 of the Man nd Religious Forward Movement will fake plac at the Young Men's Chris tian Association building.

Officers for the year will be lect rd. committees appointed, plans out lined and a meeting of great import ance to the movement and the church es in general will result. The First File of The New Year The first fire of 1912 was rung in laEt night from box 27 at the corner of Seventh and Church, the blaze be ing in Mr. J. N. McCausIands resi dence on North Poplar street. Mr. J. F. McCausland, father of Mr. J. X. McCausland, who makes his home here, was sitting . on a divan emoking and it is supposed he drop ped a lighted match which set lire to the covering. There was no one at home except Mr. McCausland, Miss Mary McCausland and the .cook. Miss McCausland quickly led Mr. McCaus land from the room and gave the alarm. The fire was confined to the den and hall adjoining. The department quickly responded and with the use of chemicals extinguished the blaze. : Mr. J. M. McCausland was on his way home from his store and did not know until almost home that the fire was at his house.

Stringfellow, of the Washington detective force, arrived here yesterday to return last night at 7:30 with Louis Stenerson, who was arrested here Friday afternoon on a telegram from Washington. He is wanted there for stealing a six cylinder, 1912 model, Packard automo bile valued at $4,200, on the 10th of last November. The automobile belonged to the Sutterell Automobile Company at 1,501 Connecticut avenue. The ma chine was being washed up prepara tory to being delivered to a purchaser. Stenerson and another fellow ran the car out of the garage and around Washington," said Mr. Srtingfellow, "and on to Baltimore and Philadel phia, then they were arrested for not having a Pennsylvania license. "At the time of the arrest Stener son was driving the car. From Phil adelphia they returned to Baltimore. They beat the garages out of gaso line all of the way. On reaching Bal timore they stripped the car of all detachables, leaving the car in Hyde Park. When seen last night in the tombs Stenerson claimed that his friend took the car and did all of the running. Until recently Stenerson lived in Charlotte. He returned here about a month ago and was before Recorder Smith charged with an affray, in this way his name was brought to public notice, it was on this occasion the Washington authorities first located him. Stenerson claims his accomplice is the son of a wealthy Chicago man. The officers are hot on his track and hope to locate him soon. New Baptist 'Chinch At Elizabeth Mill A new Baptist church has been or ganized at Elizabeth Mills with 48 members. The Presbytery which con stituted the church consisted of Rev. I R. Pruett, Rev.

He is to be in Rich mond Tuesday night, where he lec tures undei the auspices of Shockae Council, Royal Arcanum. In speaking of the visit of the doctor, The News Leader says: "There are hundreds, if not thou sands, of people in Richmond who believe with Rear Admiral Schley and General A. W. Greely that the Brooklyn scientist and physician real ly attained the pole. . "According to Dr. Cook's mana ger, the explorer is not seeking to swell hisc coffers on his Southern tour. He is seeking vindication: He desires to put his case before the people of the South and is convinced that he will be given a fair hearing and an honest verdict." One of those scientists claims he is now1 able to prove that Eve was not a beauty. The next scientist will prob ably try to prove that Adam married her for her money. St. Paul Pioneer Press.
