Horse Goes Mad Mad Stone Sticks.
Charlotte News, 2nd.
Mr; and Mrs. Earnest Deal, of
China Grove, will leave today for
their home after having spent two
days in Charlotte, during which they
received treatment from a mad
stone. vMr. and Mrs. Deal came to Char
lotte Friday, following the killing of
a horse which had injured them. The
mad-stone is said to have stuck
two hours in each case.
The reports of the incident sur
rounding the trouble are most in
teresting. It is said that the horse
was eating corn at the' time it was
discovered that it had rabies, and
that it was soon after shot. The corn
which 'was left in the trough was
thrown! out to the ..chickens but the
fowls failed to eat it, according to
the statement, of Mr. and Mrs. Deal.
Mr. and Mrs. Deal are convinced
that the treatment with the mad
stone Has eliminated all poison from
their systems and that they may now
return to their home without further
danger. "
Police Wink With Both Eyes, Mayor
j Said.
New York World. .
Mayor Gaynor's opinion .that chil
dren must play somewhere,-and that
they must be allowed to play, in the
streets if no 'other place is provided,
was brought out in a letter w7bich he
wrote last September. Ther letter
was a reply to one which a girl in
Harlem had pritten complaining that
she and her little companions had
no place to play except the streets,
and that they had been prevented
from playing there. The Mayor
said:
"I am very sorry about it, and I
will see if I can do something for
vou. Some people think that you
ought to stay in the house all of the
time. But you must go out and you
must' play somewhere, and we must
let you play in the streets unless
there is some other place provided.
You say you want' to skate on roller
skates. Maybe I can get the police
up there to wink so hard with both
eyes that they won't see you when
you go by on yourroller skates

At the A. R. P. Church.
Captain Waite, of ' the Salvation
Army, who is in charge of the post
at Charlotte, gave an illustrated lec
ture on the work of the Salvation
Army at the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian church last night. The
illustrations showed the different
phases of the work, and especially, the
work that is being conducted in this
State. A number of the views reflect
ing conditions that exist in Charlotte.
The lecture was highly interesting
and was made doubly impressive by
the illustrations that so accurately
portrayed the actual conditions as
they exist.
Madame Sherry in Salisbury.
Salisbury Post.
The Madame Sherry Musical Com
edy Company gave an excellent per
formance in the Grubb Theatre here
last night. There was scarcely a dull
moment during the three acts and
those who stayed away from the show
on account of adverse criticism miss
ed an enjoyable show. A sally made
at Charlotte, by Fred Frear, as Theo
philus Sherry, on account of the roast
given the show- by the papers of that
city, was loudly applauded twice. The
play was probably not as rich in
rythm and blissful situation as the
Goo-Roo-Blooch and the Ski-Ri-Pi,
big aggregations of world's wonders,
which stop at the border town of
North Carolina but it was a pleas
ing production and was much enjoyed
by the audience. The Salisbury peo
ple are gla4 they-are not so blase,
in fact they have their potatoes well
cooked and do not eat them raw as
they do in some towns.
It has come to be a proverb when
tlie papers ifi the "See it Blow" city
criticise a show it is good.

Senate Votes Wet..
Richmond, Va., March 2. By a
vote of 24 to 15 the State today de
feated the Jordan Enabling Jml,
which had already passed the House
of Delegates and which provided for
a State-wide prohibition election on
petition of one-fourth of the qualified
voters who participated in the last
general election for State officers. The
most intense feeling prevails over the
result of the vote, although it was
conceded early in the week that the
Senate was opposed to the prohibi
tion referendum. This disposes of
the issue finally, but already a move
ment is underway to bring it before
the legislature two years hence. Two
Senators were paired, except tor
which the vote would have been 24 to
16.

eomputed that by Monday 150,000
workers or.tside of the eoal mines Ui
be idle, and each, successive dsv the
strike lasts will add to this number.
More than 1.000,000 miners in Kn-.

Shipping at many ports is approach
es a standstill and steam trawlers
are laying up. That source of cheap
iooq win soon be eut off. Many
Aounanes already are closed and
many others are preparing for a
speedy shutdown. Three or four
days will suffice to cause a stoppage
at most of the Sheffield steel works
and within a week, if the conditions
do not resume, more than a million
employes in the cotton mills and al
lied trades in Lancashire will be with
out work. '
As long as the NationaKMi ner
Federation adheres to the determina
tion that a schedule of minimum wase
rates drawn up by themselves must
be conceded before they will enter
into further negotiations, there ap
pears not the slightest hope of set
tling. the strike.
No violence has yet occurred and no
troops have been moved ' but orders
were issued at Aldershot tonight that
troops make readv to entrain imme

DURHAM HAS A SENSATION.
Babes Are Left on Doorstens of
Prominent Men's Homes.
Raleigh, March 2. A long distance
telephone message tonight from Dur
ham, N. C, to the News and Observer
describes a sensation there tonight in
which W.A. Erwin, one of the wealth
iest cotton mill men in the State, and
General Manager E. K. Powe, of thp
Erwin mills, were the i victims." The
story states that tonight soon after
the eastbound Southern railway train
arrived in Durham a stranger was
observed to leave the train carrying
two infants with her on the union
station platform.
Soon thereafter the babes were
s en in the care of two negro women
and within less than half an hour
thereafter the children were found
on the front porches of the residences
of Messrs, Erwin and Powe.
The babes were taken to the local
hospital and taken in charge by the
nurses of-that institution, and an in
stitution, and an investigation was at
once instituted to locate the women
who were first seen with the chil
dren. At midnight no trace of the missing
women has been found and the sensa
tion is veiled in mystery.

Senator Overman Give3 Support to
Free Sugar Bill.
Washington. D. C. March 2.
Senator Overman, of North Carolina,
will support the house sugar pro
gram, which includes free sugar and
an excise tax in the belief that the
two eompanion policies are sound, ac-
according to a statraent .made tj
day An discussing the action of the
house democrats in caucus last nightl
"I will stand by the house program
or free sugar." said Senator, Over
man, 4 because I have. always oppo.-ed
taxation on necessities of life. 1 be
lieve that an excise tax or an income
tax from which the proposed excise
tax differs in some ways, contrary to
the claims of its opponents, is emi
nently just.
' 4 More than two-thirds of the
states including North Carolina have
already adopted the constitutional
amendment providing for anNincome
tax and it is only a question of a
short time. I believe before there will
be an out and out federal incon.p
tax. The two-bills will make an ex
ceedingly popular issue on which to
face the peoplie.
