Wrinkles
Around the Eyes
Are usually caused by defec
tive fight. Many women, and
likewise men, look prematurely
old from these wrinkles. The
wrinkles in many cases can be
removed by wearing correctly
fitted glasses. To fit glasses cor
rectly demands a thorough know
ledge of refraction and the nec
essary Instruments. We have
both; hundreds of satisfied cus
tomers will say so.

NOTES FROM HIGH POINT.
The Local New From Our Neighbor
Briefly Told.
Telegram Bureau. I
High Point, N. C. Nov. 15 l
i
Somebody cut a freight train in two
here last night while it was standing
on the siding. Gosh! he mudt'er had
er big knife and bin mity strong.
Sevtra1 weeks before the election the
young ladies of this place organized
a young Ladies Democratic Club, and
of course as is always the case when
ever an organization of any kind is
started, some people objected on the
grounds that it was wrong for the
ladies to undertake a thing of this
kind. We beg to ask those people
what crime did they commit in this un
taking? On the other hand we ask
them to read what Sheriff -elect Gil
mer said in a card of thanks last
week:
"I request the privUege for myself,
and the democracy for Guilford county
one of whose representatives, I am, of
most heartily thanking the noble
women of our county, for the modest
but effective " manner in which they
aided in bringing about this unheard
of change of votes in old Guilford. I
appreciate their sympathy and aid
more than I can findwordsto express.'
Also what all of the candidates who
were elected and the chairman and
secretary of the democratic executive
committee said yesterday:
"We would especially thank the la
dies of the county for their presence
at our speakings and the encourage
ment and Influence which they gave so
unreservedly and yet in such a becom
ing and womanly way."
Don't forget the concert tomorrow
night at the opera house by the Met
ropolitan Concert Co., which is by far
the best concert company that has ever
been through here. Every member is
an artist.
The meeting ' at the Presbyterian
church is being well attended both day
and night. Mr. Black is one of the
best preachers that has ever been in
the county.
At a called meeting of the board last
night Mr. W. T. Kirkman was ap
pointed to succeed Mr. F. N. Tate as
alderman from the fourth ward, and
Mr. Chas. Ragan to succeed Mr. Tate
as school committeeman. It will be
remembered that Mr. Tate resigned
last week to go to Charlotte.
The Eastern Field Trial Club that
used to meet at this place began yes
terday with the Derbies. The mem
bership stakes closed Saturday, an ac
count of which appeared in Sunday's
Charlotte Observer.
Officer Bennett has a rather promi
nent cheek, though he has not been in
a scrap. It seems that he did the work
himself with his own "billy" acci
dentally. Don't forget Woody Bros', concert
tonight at the M. E. Church. Admis
sion 15 cents. It will be worth several
times the price of admission.
The First and Only One.
The Metropolitan Concert Company
is the only attraction of the kind book
ed for Greensboro this seoson. They
appear at the Academy of Music to
night. Of the merits of this company
the Danville Register has the following
to say after their appearance in that
city :
"The Metropolitan Concert Compa
ny, of New York, gave a concert at the
Academy of Music last night, with
Julie Vallette as prima donna so
prano. The star scored a decided hit
with the local critics, and, in fact, the
whole company was accorded generous
recognition of their talents. Besides
Miss Vallette, -the company included
Miss Jeanie Benson, violiniste; Mr.
Carl Rieck, tenor soloist; and Mr.
Arthur Freeman, pianist."
The Sans SoucI Club.
Another brilliant reception is to be
given in the Benbow parlors next
Thursday evening. A most interesting
program has been arranged and the
event promises to be one of the best in
the history of this well known club.
Mr. J. T. Matthews, the genial presi
dent, says that at this meeting officers
will be elected. Mr. Matthews through
his untiring efforts has made a most
splendid president.

REFUGEES IK WASHINGTON,
Wilmington Exiles Call On The
Attorney General
TO STRAIGHTEN MATTERS OUT.
A Postofflce Inspector May be Sent
to South Carolina on an Investi
gating Tour Other Matters,
Special to Trc Tklsgbam.
Washington, Nov. 15 Quite a
number of the Wilmington" refu
gees .are in Washington. Yesterday
afternoon a delegation including
Ex-chief of Police John R. Melton, R.
H. Bunting, United States Commis
sioner, and a justice of the peaee, and
C. H. Gilbert, former Superintendent
of City Carts, called at the department
of justice and had an interview1 with
the attorney general. The members of
the delegation refused to speak in rela
tion to the visit to the department, but
it is understood from reliable author
ity that the attorney general repeated
what has been said heretofore, that
there is nothing upon which te can
base action in the matter. With the
single exception of Bunting, none of
them can lay claims to being United
States officials.
The South Carolina difficulty re
mains about as it has been. The two.
Tolberts who are in Washington, to
gether with J. M. Collins, who is post
master at a small post office known as
No. 96, and R. L. Henderson, called
at the post office department and made
complaint that postmasters are not
permitted to attend to their official du
ties. The postmaster general told
them that if it can be substantiated that
postmasters are being interfered with,
that he will do all in his power to pre
vent it. It is believed that the post of
fice department may send an inspecWr
to the state to attempt to straighten
matters out.
Jt is known that for the present none
of the North and South Carolina ref
ugees will return, but will remain in
Washington until after the assembling
of Congress. When congress meets it
is likely that an atteirpt will be made
to secure a congressional investigation
of the troubles at Wilmington, and at
Phoenix, South Carolina.
United States Marshal Melton, of
Charleston, South Carolina, .is in
Washington for the purpose, it is un
derstood, of receiving defimite instruc
tions from the department of justice
as to what course he is-to pursue in
regard to the South Carolina difficul
ties. Senator Daniels, of Virginia, came
over to Washington Sunday night
from Lynchburg. The Senator was
seen at the Shoreham hotel. He is
naturally pleased at the outcome of
the election in Virginia, although he
says he never doubtedthe election of
of a solid democratic delegation from
the state.
Senator Daniel tooc a leading part
in the North Carolina campaign and
is greatly rejoiced that the state has
succeeded in limiting, at least, the
power of the present regime. He says
that the people of North Carolina are
much in earnest.
In speaking of the work of the com
ing session of congress Senator Dan
iel is. of the opinion that not much will
be done aside from the passage of the
general appropriation bills, and some
routine matters. 'He does not believe
that the treaty with Spain will be
ready to be transmitted to the senate
during the present session of congress.
The Southern railroad will offer a
very low rate for the round trip be
tween Washington and Atlanta during
the celebration of peace jubilee week.
It is expected that a very large dele
gation of government officials will ac
company President McKinley to At
lanta. In addition to President McKinley,
among those who will take part in the
Atlanta celebration are Generals Fitz
hugh Lee and Joe Wheeler.
Representative Howard, of Alabama
populist, who was defeated for re
election last Tuesday, has arrived in
Washington. The Congressman inti
mated yesterday that he would enter a
contest for the seat against his demo
cratic opponent.
General Ames, who has had charge
of the winter camps at Summerfield,
S. C, has arrived In Washington. It
is rumored that Gen. Ames will shortly
be transferred to some other post of
dnty.
Senator Mills, of Texas, was at the
White House yesterday afternoon.
The Senator has no business with the
president, and merely called to pay
his respects.
Among North Carolina people in the
city, are E. V. VanMetee, and John
R. Collins.

Several Shooting Scrapes In South
Carolina Yesterday.
Charleston, S. C., November 14 A
special to the NewB and Courier from
Greenwood, S. C, says :
A telephone message was received
here this morning that a negro woman
was shot, probably fatally, nearPiney
Grove church by a party of whit men
who were on their way here. No par
ticulars, were Obtainable except that
her house was fired into by a passing
crowd and one ball struck her in the
abdomen.
About the same time a message was
received from Troy that Mr. Kennedy
MeCastan and a negro on his place,
in Abbeville county, had a personal
difficulty in which the negro, whose
namo could not be learned, shot Mc-
Custan in the face with a shot gun and
fled in the direction of Abbeville.
A little later the news c me from
Verdery that v John Fell, had shot a
negro near that place, in Abbeville
county while engaged in a personal
difficulty.
As in the case of the woman, no par
ticulars b-jyond the main facts can be
obtained. It U known, however, that
none of the lawlessness reported today
except the shooting of the woman has
the remotest connection with the Phoe
nix riot.
A despatch from Abbeville says that
the i negro who shot MeCastan was
pursued to the courthouse square in
Abbeville, where he was caught and
committed to jail. There is no fear
of hi9 being lynched.
STILL TESTIFYING.
General Breckinridge Before the
-Board Today.
Bj Wire to Tu Tilhuil
Washington, Nov. 15 Gen. Breck
inridge crntinued his 'testimony today
before the war Investigating board,
dcaliLg with the transportation of
troops. He said he had gone to Cuba
as inspector general, arriving at Tam
pa, June 1. He had observed, casu
ally, that the preparations for disem
barkation of the troops before the ex
pedition left were quite inadequate.
He made no report of this, however,
he said, because General Miles was
there and could observe for himself.
He said there was no preparation to
land in the face of the enemy other
than that which the navy might fur
nish. So far as he observed there
were only two lighters and two. scows,
secured in behalf of the army before it
left Tampa. His understanding was
that the army and navy were co oper
ating in this expedition.

PEARSON WILL CONTEST.
He Files a Notice at Washington to
That Effect.
Washington, Nov. 14 Richmond
Pearson, the present congressman
from the 9th district, will contest the
seat of W. T. Crawford, the democrat
ic congressman-elect, and has already
filed notice with the clerk of the house
here to that effect. The majority of
Crawford is less than 100, according
to republican estimates, and one of the
grounds of contest will be the alleged
purchase of votes by democrats in that
district.
The Post, in a resume of members
elect to the next congress, says in this
connection :
One of the former democratic rep
resentatives to come back to the house
is William Thomas Crawford, of
Waynesville, in the Ninth North Car
olina district. This district has been
fighting ground for many years, and
the representatives have been in turn
democrats and republicans. Mr. Craw
ford defeated Hamilton G. Ewart,
now serving as a federal judge in
North Carolina under a recent appoint
ment, for the Fifty-second Congress,
and two years later he defeated Jeter
C. Pritchard, now United States Sen
ator. For the fifty-fourth congress
Mr. Crawford was defeated by repre
sentative Richmond Pearson, whom
he now defeats for the fifty-sixth con
gress. Mr. Pearson, however, who is
a member of the house committee on
foreign affairs, has already made
known his intention to contest the seat
and the controversy will, without
doubt betaken before the house.
