ijormpa Fresh Start to Be Taken
In Matter of Paving Buchanan Street
Routine Business.
Tlw Board of Aldermen were in regu
lar semi-monthly session last night and
wbi)e a number of matters were discuss
ed, but little real business was trans
acted. Mayor Pro Tern. Glascock presid
ed in the absence of Mayor Stafford and
all th aldermen were present, except
Alderman Ellington.
A matter that' was given considerable
attention was the location of street
light?. Chairman Sergeant, of the
Water k Light Commission, was before
the board with a chart of the city show-
in? the locations of proposed lights
After going over the the matter careful
lr it wn decided that the locations made
"by the Water & Light Commission were
about as good as could be selected, ex
cepting two or three places. The addi
tion of a number of new lights as per
the new contract will require some
changes in the circuits and the locating
of these lights 6o the greatest benefits
will be derived is no easy task.
As soon as possible a chart showing
the several circuits will be furnished the
Public Service Company. As soon as the
number of lights is ascertained an order
will be placed for that number and
meanwhile the company will be rear
ranging the circuit so' when the lights
arrive they can be placed at once. It was
stated some time ago that the order for
the ares had, been placed, but . as there
was some, uncertainty as to the number
of arcs trie city would use it was deem
ed advisable to hold Hp the order until
the exact number was ascertained. A
"mimbpr of Tungsten street lights will
e used in lieu of arcs.
City Attorney Shaw read a rough
draft of the contract to be made with
the company. There are several type
written pages, on which are stated the
terms agreed upon between the company
and the city and such provisions as are
usually inserted in a contract of this
kind. The contract will now be drawn
and if the several provisions contained
therein are satisfactory to both parties
the contract will bp signed. It will not
be legal, however, until the legislature
p.np an act empowering the aldermen
to make such a contract.
The Buchanan street paving matter
wns again brought up and discussed, h
is understood that before the Southern
will agree to do the extra paving be
tween the street and the passenger sta
tion the facts in the case will have to
go before, the officials in Washington.
Tnnmuch as the city, for other reasons,
has frot to take a fresh start from the
banning it was decided to have the
Street Commission and the committee
from the Board take the matter up with
the officials and sent a bill of particulars
to Washington. It is believed that when
the officials understand thoroughly the
situation they will readily consent to
have the entire space paved.
A couple of ordinances regarding the
Election of money due by property
owners for sidewalk paving were passed.
J. 0. Bishop protested against pay
in? for work done on Bunchanan street,
Maiming that the sidewalk taken up was
?ood one. His objection was overruled.

GOSSIP IS SHOCKING;
V- - SHOCKS A GOOD THING
.- A.
Woman's Cravine For Excitement Ex
plained by Prof. Thomas As Inherited.
Chicago. Oct. 28. Women like to gos
sip because the news of the terrible
thinsrs the neighbors have done gives a
pleasing shock to their vaso motor sys
tems. Unless the vase-motor system re
ceives a goodly share of shocks the in
dividual suffers from ennui.
At least this is the theory which Will
iam I. Thomas, professor of sociology
at the University of Chicago and in
ventor of the term "the adventitious
character of woman." presented to the
delegates of the National League of
Handicraft Societies.
"Our primitive ancestors led exciting
lives (" Prof. Thomas said. "We share
the appetite for excitement which their
experience built up in the race, and, dif
ferent as our occupations and amuse
ments are from theirs, we enjoy them
in proportion as they provide the shocks
to the vaso-motor system which they
got out of hunting, fighting and escap
ing from dangerous animals. We crave
shocks.
"Perhaps that is the reason some wo
men love husbands who beat them."
A STORY HOUR
Little People Hear Delightful Stories

In spite of the cold weather of yester
day the story hour in the library was
attended by fully a hundred bright eyed
little people who listened with eager in
terest to the delightful stories of their
friend, Miss Elizabeth Heyward, the
story-teller of the day.
Miss Heyward is a kindergarten teach
er whose successful work is well known
to Greensboro people, and the library
and the little ones are alike to be con
gratulated upon her kind co-operation.
The marching of the children led by
two demure little lassies bearing small
flags of North Carolina and the good of
fices of the two manly boys who act
as the library's marshals for this pretty
procession added much to the pleasure
and comfort of the hour.

Independents And Re-
publicansLose Ground
Close Observers of Political Conditions
In County Have Arrived At This Con
clusion Usual Vote Not Looked For
Granville's -First Fair a Success -Exchange
of Courts. . v
Raleigh, Oct. 28. There is a growing
impression among close observers of the
local and county political situation that
both the Independent Democratic" and
the Republican status which have been
co-operating to a considerable - extent
have both lost ground considerably the
past few weeks, the estimate being that
the regular Democratic majority this
year in the county will be probably as
great as heretofore, although there will
doubtless be a falling off in the total
vote. This impression comes from an
evident tendency on the part of some
of those who bitterly resented the in
criminations that were heaped upon the
leaders of the element of the Democratic
party defeated in the party "pQinaries
to conclude to stay away from the polls
rather than walk up to the ballot box
and put in a "bolter's ticket" or vote
for the men whom they blame for the
terrific assaults made on their candi
dates in the primary who were defeated.
Large numbers of those who very strong
ly resent the campaign methods of the
successful faction of the party in the
primaries will at the last minute vote
the straight ticket purely for the pur
pose of maintaining party consistency.
There will be a considerable tendency to
sratch the ticket, especially as to the
State senator, but this will be prevented
to a considerable extent by managers of
the regular wing keeping a close scroti
ny on the preparation of the tickets as
there won't be m all probabypty veyy ac
tive and influential workers out for the
opposition. From a Democratic View
point the situation is clearing up very
rapidly hereabouts with indications for
small Republican vote owing to factional
troubles.
My good old county of Granville has
just closed her first county fair, said
Hon. A. W. Graham, speaker of the
House of Representatives, today. He
spent the day here on business connected
with the Supreme Court. He said the
fair was particularly fine for the very
first effort in that direction and that the
fair association is firmly established and
will undertake greater things from year
to year. The fair was in progress Wed
nesday and Thursday of this week.
On authority granted by Governor
Kitchin Judges Ferguson and Judge Jus
tice have arranged an exchange of
courts by which Judge Justice will hold
the Northampton court Oct. 31 : Bertie
court Oct. 14, and Halifax court Novem
ber 28 and Judge Ferguson will hold
Swain court October 31 ; Cherokee court
November 7 : and Macon court November
21.
Judge Cook concluded the first week
of a three weeks term of Superior court
here today, adjourning the court over
Saturday to Monday in order that he
might spend Saturday and Sunday at
his home at Louisburg. He discharged
this week's jury this morning.
A NEW DISTRICT.
One Will Be Considered by Western M.
E. Conference.
When the Western Methodist Confer
ence convenes in Winston on Nov. 13 a
proposition will be made to form a new
district out of the Mt. Airy, Winston
and Salisbury districts.
Dr. R. M. Taylor, presiding elder of
L.the Mt. Airy district, who favors the
new district says:
"My proposition is to divide, and form
a new district. There is all the terri
tory we need for a new district, and I
believe the good of the work demands it.
Any attempt to absorb the surplus into
one of the present districts would be
only a temporary settlement of the pro
blem, as the districts are all large and
rapidly growing."
The plan, it is understood, is to trans
fer Stokes and all of Surry churches,
now in Winston district, to the Mt. Airy
district and take from the Salisbury dis-'
trict all the churches in Davidson coun
ty including Lexington.

THOUGHT IT WAS It
A MURDER CASE
Negro Boy Hits Another Negro With
Lump of Coal and Stretched Iun Out1
on Ground Was Not Throwing AtT
Lad He Hit Injured Lad Will Be Able
To Appear in Court This Morning. r
i
The police thought for awhile yester-.
day afternoon that they had a murder i
case ready for Judge Eure this morning,.
but a further investigation showed that
the supposedly dead negro was not bad
ly hurt and he will appear in Municipal
Court this morning to testify against
the negro lad who laid him out.
The scrap, if it could be called suchj
occurred on 4he grounds of the Percy,
street school. Wilson Brooks, an over
grown lad, was picking at Hazel Headen j
a small boy about 12 years of age, and
had been told a number of times by
Headen that he was going to hurt hint
if he did not let him alone. He grew
worse instead of better, Headen says,
and the little negro picked up a lump of
coal about the size of his fist and let
drive at Brooks' head. The latter dodg
ed and the coal struck Percolie Wellob,
a negro lad who was standing just be
hind Brooks, squarely in the forehead.
The boy fell like a beef and it was at
first thought that his skull was crushed.
He was carried home unconscious and
Dr. Rigdon Dees was called. An exami
nation showed that the boy was only
stunned. The coal had cut through the
skin and bared the skull, but there was
no fracture. He will be able to be in
court this morning.
The Headen lad, who appears to be a
rather decent negro, was carried to po
lice headquarters, but when it was found
that the Wellob negro was not badly
hurt he was allowed to give bond for his
appearance in court this morning. He
regrets the accident, but contends that
ne was justified in throwing at Brooks.
LIGHT UNDER A BUSHEL
The One At the Corner of East Wash-,
lingtoa nd Forbds Out
For Two - f
weeks,, says Citizen of:
That Lc-
" f ft
A gentleman living in the vicinity of'
'East Washington and Forbis streets
wishes public attention drawn to the
fact that the street light at the corner
mentioned has not burned in two weeks.
He says he has complained to the po
lice department and been told that the
Public Service Company is docked for
all the time the light fails to burn. But
the gentleman says that what he and
his neighbors want is light, and the fin
ing of the Public Service Company is no
relief to them.
The Public Service Company says that
when complaints come in from the night
police about lights failing to burn, those
complaints are investigated at once and
the trouble corrected. The company also
states, however, that some of the lights
are in such bad shape that they are al
most past redemption.
The new street lights will be installed
at an early date; the Public Service
Company is only waiting on the city to
say where they shall be located.
SOCIETY ELITE WHITEWINGS
Women of Atlanta for One Day Clean
the City's Streets.
Atlanta, Oct. 28. Atlanta's fair so
ciety leaders and clubwomen donned
white aprons yesterday morning and
armed themselves with brooms to lead a
militant crusade against dirt in the
city's streets and back yards. They
raised a prodigious dust, and found the
experience no less interesting and no
more strenuous than their accustomed
bridge parties and dances. Incidentally
they accomplished a real good, for they
obtained the assistance of five or six
thousand housewives, each of whom
agreed in advance to set apart yesterday
for a general cleaning of their respec
tive premises.
For this one day the municipal street
cleaning and sanitary department turn
over its hundreds of men and its scores
of mule teams and wagons to the officers
of the Federated Women's Clubs of Am
erica. These women, with the assist
ance of able lieutenants chosen from
among the belles of the city, directed a"
12-hour campaign which had for its ob
ject the cleaning up of odd little corners
and out-of-the-way streets which have
not always come in for their full share
of attention under the routine dispen
sation of the forces.
Don't forget our mineral waters, Mt.
Vernon and Veronica. We will handle it
all winter. S. M. Maddox & Co. Phone

Forgot His. Hotel.
Chicago. Oct. 28. Coatless, collarless
and necktieless. Thomasr Falkenberg, of
Freeport, rested on tired elbow on the
window in front of Desk Sergeant
O'Connor's desk at the Harrison Street
Station, as the sun peeped through the
Illinois Central smoke.
"Sergeant. I got a wife lost in this
town somewhere, simply crying her eyes
out. I know she is. She loves ham
sandwiches, and that is why she is
lost. Or, maybe, I am lost. It is hard
to tell," said he.
The sergeant was mystified.
"It was this way: My wife and I got
into i town and went to a hotel. I did
not like the price, so we tried another.
My wife got hungry ; so I went in search
of some ham sandwiches. I left my coat
and collar and necktie in the room. That
was last night. I got the sandwiches, but
I did not know the name of the hotel.
I've been looking for that hotel and my
wife all night. I gave it up, and came
here for assistance."

Mann-Elkins Act.
Railroads and Express Companies Wilt-
Unite In Movement The Act Prtvidea
For An Interstate Commerce Court to
Which Company co- Shipper May Ajm
peal Constitutionality Is Questioned
. ; , .... ..... -
New" York, Oct. 28. It has been de-
finitely decided that the railroads andL""
express companies of the entire country
willunite in an attack through' the
courts on the Mann-Elkins act, which
was passed by Congress last June at the
urgent solicitation of President "Taft. : :'
The act' provides for an interstate com
merce' court to which railroads and ship
pers alike may appeal. -
The attack upon the law was decided
upon by a conference of railroad law
yers from all parts of the country, who
have been in session here for several -days
under the chairmanship of Colonel
Henry L. Stone, general counsel for the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad. ' The
exact course of procedure is in the-handa
of the committee of seven lawyers to be.
appointed in the near future by Colonel
Stone. The names of the men he will
appoint win not be made pubrtc. Colonel
Stone said before leaving for his hoxtrat
that most of the lawyers who attended-
the conference desired that secrecy be.
observed.
It is likely that Mr. Stone will be.
chairman of the committee as he ha.
taken the lead in the discussion of rail
road legislation ever since the naiioaaV
conference of railroad lawyers met at
Portsmouth, N. Hv early in August.
It is supposed that , the railroads -will
attack the law on the ground of consti
tutionality. There seems to be little ob
jection to the newly established court of .

mmgS&tt etensiol'iKeV"
sion as provided by the new law.
The following provisions of the act
are said to be the ones whose constitu
tionality is questioned by the railway
attorneys:
That portion of section 15 which con-
fers power upon the commission to sua-
pend a rate for a possible period of ter
months. ,
That portion of section 15 which re-
serves to the shipper the right to route
freight when taken in connection with
the Carmack amendment to section 20.
Long and short hauls and aggregate of"
intermediate rate clashes as contained is
section four.
The water route provision contained
in section four.
The provision of section 15 with re
spect to the establishment of through
routes and joint classifications andl
joint rates by the commission.
The provision in section 15 imposing
the burden of proof upon the carrier al
to the reasonableness of justice of
