Mrs. Stewart Stops Payment of $25,000 to Husband's Executor. Dunn, N. C, Dec. 4. A sensation was created this week in the law cir cles when Mrs. Stewart, widow of W. A.

McNeill, execu tor, to stop payment to the said Mc Neill by the railroad company of th"? judgment of $25,000 rendered against the railroad company at the November term of Harnett Superior Court for the wrongful killing of W. A. Stewart The injunction was issued" in an action which has been brought for the re moval of Mr. McNeill as executor. This is a surprise to the community, as Mr. McNeill is a man of high char acter and standing, and it has been 11 ii-il oret nnr! that Mrs. St.ew art was entirely satisfied with his management of the estate. She is represented in this action by Messrs. E. F. Young and John G. Shaw.

Think Wilmington Traveling Man Died From Heart Trouble. Asheville, N. C, Dec. 4. Joseph Kahn, of Wilmington, a well-known traveling man, was found dead In his room at an sheville hotel about five I o'clock this afternoon. The opinion of physicians was that his death was due to natural causes. Mr. Kahn came to Asheville yesterday from Greensboro to see his son, Joe K.ann, Jr., who is unwell, and has ben stay- Ing here for some weeks, and wrote Mrs. Kahn in Wilmington tnat u I would be well for her to come here as young Kahn might have to undergo an operation. Today Mr. Kahn and a friend took dinner at the hotel, Mr Kahn apparently being well, and retir- J ed after dinner as usual to his room for an afternoon rest. He was seized with a spell of nausea and a physl- cian was called in. He was soon qui eted and dropped off to sleep. About five o'clock a bellboy went to tbe room to take a message from Mrs. Kahn.. saying she would leave Wilmington to- night and arrive heretomorrow. The boy failing to arouse Mr. Kahn, when called, reported to the ofiice, and a physician and coroner were called in. it was realized that all was over. He had evidently passed away quietly man about fifty years of age, and widely known over the State. He trav- eled for the National .raper company. He leaves a wife and a son and daugh- ter. A friend will meet Mrs Kahn on her way-here tomorrow, to break the news J. P. MORGAN GETS EQUITABLE. Life Assurance Society Passes to the Great Financier. - - New York. Dec. 2.

All Interest Is Centred at Present on , Taft's Message and the Insurgents. While the insurgents are preparing to insurge roughshod in this session of Congress and Speaker Cannon's power and popularity are waning, at the same time intimations rise up in every quarter that Theodore Roose velt will become the Republican can didate for President in 1912. Because Washington wouldn't take a third term and Grant couldn't does not dismay the man in the jungle a particle, Prec edent Is of little value in his eyes. Congress convened today, and the President's message will no doubt be sent in tomorrow. It is anticipated with Interest, for all are curious tesee what Mr. Taft will say to stem tha rising tide of insurgents and of Roose veltism. The very situation invites radicalism on his part, and the belief is that it will be supplied in large doses on some questions In the mes sage. This first regular session " of the Sixtyfirst Congress promises to be a busy one, Many subjects wlll.be XTr gently presented in the message, and on these urgent propositions due con sideration and action will be expected alike from standpatters and insur gents and the President may" get up a race between them for White House favors. Just how far ar. 4 how suc cessfully a raWl upon The jCannon rules of the House will go remains to be seen. ' - The insurgents and Democrats will probably control the House, but they may not work well uTdouMe harness, especially when Mr. Cannon stands ready to induce some of them to kick over the traces. He never hesitates to ; dicker with the special-interest Democrats from the effete East. Let us simply hope while we may that the message will not contain 30, 000 wors. Comparatively few read such a message, while a 'message of 5,000 words, or about four columns in The Argus, would be freely read. The country desires a return to the short messages of the early President. A BALTIMORE FIRE. A Number oLFirms Burned Out Loss Estimated at $500,0. Baltimore, Md., Dec .2.

Impressive Ritualistic Services, Bean tifol Program Eloquent Address by Mr. Taster Polk, of Warrenton. Sunday marked another N import ant day in the history of the Lodge of Elks of Goldsboro. It is the beautiful custom of the or der to hold a . solemn service once a jear in memory of its departed dead, nd it was indeed a solemn occasion when the large membership of tbe lodge with slow and measured tread marched into the Opera House, then on the rostrum, and at tbe sound of the gavel in the hand of Exalted Ruler Mr. George C- Royall, the members of the lodge were seated, preparatory to the ceremonies which were about to begin, A most attractive musical program had been provided, and the best musi cal talent of the city gladly partici pated in the ceremonies. Miss Pearl Brinson sang a solo, Mrs. Williams Spicer playing the accom paniment on the piano. After the solo, and music by the en tire choir, Exalted Ruler Mr. George C. Royall, with splendid presence, dig nified bearing and in most appropriate language announced the order of the exercises, and together with the ofti- , v -.. v;cio ui 1.11.0 luugc yciiuiiueu mo iiiiu- tiful memorial services of the Order oi" E1ks. - I After these ritualistic ceremonie.3, in a most pleasing and attractive man- ner Mr. J. L. Barham, of this city, in- troduced the orator of the occasion, lion. 1 asKer Folk. In the history of Goldsboro there have been many great and beautiful speeches made by distinguished men, but we do not believe there has ever been made In this city a more beauti- ful, a more eloquent speech than was delivered Sunday afternoon at the Qp era House by Hon. Tasker Polk, on the occasion of the annual meeting of the Lodge of Sorrow held by the Lodge of Elks of this city. It was a splendid audience that looked into the face of the orator as he stood before them, and announced as his subject, "Am I my brother's keeper?" From the first utterance to the last word Mr. Polk held the great audi- ence spell-bound. v , Logic, pathos, and eloquence were the qualities that went to make up this great oration, which showed to men and women their duty as they never before had seen it, edified them, and caused them to go away from the auditorium resolved that In their ui- ture lives they would never lose sight of the fact that "I am my brother's keeper." This great oration is indeed a clas- sic, which should be handed down to posterity. Mr. Polk, a prominent lawyer of - 1 Warrenton, North Carolina, comes of most distinguished ancestry, being a nephew of Ex-President of the United States James , K. Polk; furthermore, two of his great uncles were signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration of In- dependence. ; The people of Goldsboro are lndebt- ed to the Lodgs of Elks of "this city or their success in securing Mr. Polk s the orator on the above occasion, ,nd our entire people are deepjy ateful to Mr. Polk for his magnifi- ent oration. ; After the oration a violin solo was rendered by Miss Privett; then a solo bv Mrs. Rachel Borden Smith, follow- ed by a song of the entire choir. I The music was indeed a feature of f. noAocinn , f The exercises were closed with a 'benediction by Rev. J. Gilmer Euskie, rector of St. Stephen's ispiscopai Church. PRESIDENT OF SEABOARD. If. S.

A Young Lady of Rocky Mount Well xr , . ,a , Known and Beloved in Goldsboro. Rocky Mount, N. C, Dec. 4. Just as daylight faded into darkness yester- day afternoon the sweet spirit of Miss Sadie Abram, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs, D. A. Abram. of this city, drifted into the dawn of eternal day. The news came as a shook tn the community for many did not even know of her illness. A few days ago she complained of a cold, a sudden chill, physicians, pneumonia, a trained nurse, anxious loved one, death! These brief words cover the period of her illness and going away, but not of her sweet, pure, unselfish life. .- She was the sunshine of the home and each member of the family look ed upon her as the tender . flower planted there by God's hand to exhale its sweetness for them alone. . To see her, one would think it was hers to be petted and shielded and loved and these she claimed, in no small degree, from those who knew her at home and abroad, but in. that petite form.ther? was hidden a wonderous weight of character which revealed itself when ever the call was made for it. When recent illness came into the home it was her's to lift the burden of nurs ing from the shoulders less strong, and unceasingly, untiringly, with al ways the soft step and reassuring i . smile she watched night and day be- I side the bed of her sister, who needed her care. .She had but recently re turned from Richmond, where she ac companied one of them to a hospital While there she cheered and shortened weariness of a cot of' pain, and when she brought back the sunshine of her presence just a few days ago, it wai not thought she would so soon, leave us again. But with a brave heart trusting in her Fathers' God, she fell into a dreamless slumber from which only the trumpet of the great Arch angel shall awake her. Twenty-three" brief years-tells the story of her well-rounded life, but she had accomplished more in that short I span than many accompnsn in tnree score and ten. Theommunity, entire, will miss her and a note ot sadness is in every voice. . The neighbors will miss her winning smile, her cheery greeting, her quick repartee, for these she offered stint to all, irrespective of I age or condition. In the home, her I home, the shadow has fallen like a heavy pall, which only the. hand ot God can brush, aside, and the oil ot time wnicn tie gives .as ms ueaimg will alone prove a solace for the wound which, a" father's - hand "has made.

TAFT Ex-Lt. 6oy. Winston Casti gates The President at Society Banquet. Criticises President's Action With Ref erence to Maryland's Suffrage Amendment Soul h Wants To Be Let Alone. New York, Dec. 3. President Taft was bitterly assailed as "unqualified to speak on the negro problem in the South" by Francis D. Winston, former lieutenant governor of North Carolina, who addressed the annual meeting ot the North Carolina Society of New York at its banquet at the Hotel Astor tonight. The President, he said, had written 'with some heat" on the subject of the negro and the franchise, a matter upon which a Northern man, Mr. Taft, had no special right to debate. "W& did not expect the President," said Mr. Winston, "to discuss our pe culiar Southern situation. We know that his study of it was of necessity at second hand. At the dinner of the society last year we were cuarnied with his speech and took it as evi dence of his good will to the South in general. But during the recent campaign in Maryland when the State was considering an amendment along the lines of those adopted heretofore by eight other Southern States, the President injected a letter too direct in its language not to give the im pression that the adoption of the imendment by the voters in Maryland Vk-as to be a signal for an attack in cue courts. "We could but construe the uter ances of the President with the course pursued by several of his predeces sors. A constitutional amendment more drastic in principfe became tha i'undamental law in Mississippi dur ing the presidency of Benjamin Harri son. Under the strenuous Roosevelt, amendments of similar character be tame the fundamental law in several Southern States. Yet Roosevelt wrote no letters. "The statement was freely made that the adoption of the Maryland law would bring on fight In the courts. North Carolina is willing to have tl.is full matter taken to the courts and for her part she invited & rigid crit icism of her conduct unner all condi tions. :We t nail insist, h-iwever, that the whole story be told. - Let the world know the facts and the South-has no four of results We want to be let alone untu in justice is apparan". We are doing what we know is best for all the peo ple. We are in touch with actualities, not sentiment. The South is engaged in its own re-. construction. The process goes on from within. Wrhen applied from with. out it has failed. We are- threatened with reduced representation in Congress. So far as North Carolina is concerned, the threatened laws have no effects But when the house strikes that the State of .North Carolina must, for the sako of numbers "in Congress, return the conditions that have twice brought us to ruin and humiliation, the answer will be sure and swift," to
