THE ROWLANDS IRE
FREE—TOUGHING
SCENE IN COURT?
i
Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 7.—Dr. and Mrs.
D. S. Rowland, en trial the past week
on the charge of poisoning Mrs. Row
land's former husband, Chas. R.
Strange, were released from custody
at 2.30 Sunday morning on the return
of a verdict by the jury that they were
"not guilty.'"'
The jury had been out since midnight
but it is understood that no ballot for
a verdiest was taken until this morn
ing and then all were for acquittal on
the first test vote.
There were less than 100 people in
the courtroom when the prisoners were
brought in and the court opened for
the taking of the return.
However, when in response to the
question, "How say you, guilty or not
guilty?" was put and the foreman re
sponded, "Not guilty" the pent-up emo
tions of Mrs. Rowland and her sister
swept all bounds and both sobbed cut
aloud and cried for sneer joy.
Dr. Rowland and his two uncles from
Vance county, who have taken an ac
tive interest in the trial, also wept
and tho contagions swept out amongst
the crowd of spectators. Instantly they
were surrounded by friends showering
congratuns and presently the
Rowlands and their counsel were shak
ing hands with and personally thanking
the members of the jury for the ver
dict.
A little later Dr. and Mrs. Rowland
drove to a boarding house on Polk
street, where they packed trunks pre
paratory to a trip, leaving Raleigh on
the southbound Seaboard train at 1
o'clock for Vance county, where they
will spend some time at the country
home of Dr. Rowland's uncle, David
Gill.
This was really observed as their
bridal trip. Mrs. Rowland carried a
magnificent boquct, such as a bride
would have, and her sister, Mrs. Lee
Van, also carried another of equal pro
portions and richness, impersonating
the lhaid of honor. While waiting for
vtlie train they talked with a sprightly
air to friends that stood about them.

Washington, D. C. 4 Oct. 5. —Acting
under the direct instructions from the'

Secretary Taft informed the Japanese
government that the firm purpose of
the United States was to adopt a
policy excluding Japanese laborers
from this country.
He urged that the best way to

agree to the exclusion treaty, but de
clared if this course was not possi

law would be passed by the United

would prevent incoming coolies.

A Beautiful Wedding Oc
curred at Rutherfordton
Rutherfordton, N. C., Oct. 5. —A
beautiful mariago was that at St.
Francis' Episcopal church Thursday
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, in which
Rev. Samuel L. Cathey and Miss Geor
gia C. Bartlett plighted their troth and
were united in the holy bonds of mat
rimony.
Long before the appointed hour the
people began gathering and the beauti
ful little rock church was filled to ov
erflowing to witness this interesting
event. Promptly at 4:20 the bridal,
party arrived, just as the beautiful'
strains of Mendelsohn's wedding
march filled the air, and breathed into
it a spirit of sweet solemnity and beau
ty, befitting the seriousness of the oc
casion.
The contracting parties marched
down the aisle to the altar in the fol
lowing order:
Rev.. Mr. Cathey with his brother,
Mr. L. A. Cathey, who was best man,
and Miss Baftlett, on the arm of her
father, Mr. George L. Bartlett, who
gave her away. The ideal ceremony
which bound the lives of this popular
young couple, was Impressively per
formed by the rector, Rev. J. C. Sei
gle, assisted by Rev. E. N. Joyner, of
Tryon.
There were no decorations or at
tendants. The bride was beautifully
attired in a brown broadcloth suit
with hat and gloves to match, while
the groom wore the regulation conven
tional black. ,
Rev. Mr. Cathey is a native of j
Mecklenburg, but has resided in this
county for the past nine years. During
the first tv/o years he was pastor of
; the Presbyterian church at Forest
City, after which he was called to
Rutherfordton, and has served the
church here the remainder of the time
with ability and distinction. He is
a son of Mrs. Henry A. Cathey, of
Mecklenburg, and a brother of Messrs.
N. A., L. A. and J. A. Cathey, of the
same county. Mrs. Cathey is a native
of this county, but resided in Lincoln
ton until three years ago, when she
returned to Rutherfordton and has
since made her home.
She is a young v/otnan of many
charming traits of character and is
loved and admired by all who know
her.

Dog Wanted Koast 'Possum. t
From the New York World. j
Rex 8., a great Dane owned by F. g
A. Mills, of 222 Upper Mountain ave-
nue, Montclair, is a dead dog be- c
cause ho was tempted by the succu-
lent odor of roast 'possum, and Mills
is suing the public service corpora- j
tion of New Jersey for the value of j
his dog, considering it negligent in t
leaving electric frying pans lying
around lose in the public highways.
This particular 'possum was asleep t
in a tree in the avenue, when down
came an electric light wire in the q
wind and short circuited its current
through the body of poor 'possum.
'Possum lay in the low crotch of a
tree and Rex 8., enticed by the odor .
jumped up to it. He was just about *
to enjoy his feast when he came in |
contact with the electric cooking iron £
and straightway he became roast
meat. r
Mills found "his dog there some g
hours later and caused the current
to be shut off before he attempted
to rescue Rex B. Rex B. was once
worth being a dog of high de
gree, and that is the sum Mills wants (
the public service corporation to pay
for the burlesque.

Over 130,000 Pound Dried t

Mount Airy, N. C., Oct. 7. —No less t

have already been marketed at this •>
place. It is thought that 20,000 t
pounds more will be sold here this t
season, bringing the total up to 150,- c

great deal of help to those who dry t
apples. The price paid for the fruit
is low, G 1-2 cents average, but it helps i
to pay lots of little bills. \

Judge Pritchard Ajd
jorns Court to Speak.
Asheville, N. C., Oct. 7 A monster
prohibition parade, probably the larg
est ever held m Asheville, marched
through the streets of this city Sat
urday. It was estimated that there
were about 7,000 men, women and
children in line, with bands and ban
ners, and much enthusiasm was dis
played as the long line passed
through the various streets, between
immense throngs which lined the
sidewalks. An unque feature was a
large number of women wheeling
baby carriages, in which were many
lusty infants.
As the long line reached the audi
torium, at 1 o'clock, the expected
speakers had not arrived, and calls
were at once made for Judge Pritch
ard, who has been most enthusiastic
in his efforts for prohibition In Ashe
ville. Messengers were at once dis
pached to the United States court,
where the hearing in the Southern
Railway rate case was in progress.
When the request was made to Judge
Pritchard that he come to the audi
torium to address the vast throng
awaitijig him there, the somewhat
usual spectacle was witnessed of
counsel for both Sides urging the
judge to adjourn court which was
done, and judge and counsel all pro
ceeded to the auditorium, where Judge
Pritchard received a novation. He
made a strong and stirring speech
urging all to action on behalf of
prohibition. At the conclusion of his
speech Judge Pritchard held up the
W. C. T. U. banner and called for
Cheers for the women, which were
heartily given.
United States Judge Gudger, of the
Isthmus of Panama circuit court, fol
lowed with a brief but spirited speech
urging all to carry prohibition for
Asheville on tomorrow.
There will be a parade of prohibi
tion voters tonight, which is expect
ed to show the strength of the anti
saloon movement.
Saloons Close for Election.
An immense anti-prohibition rally
was held in the county court house
Saturday evening, the building being
packed to its utmost capacity, be
fore S o'clock when the meeting was
called to order, many hundreds had
been turned away, unable to gain ad
mittance. The audience, which was
a very representative one,, showed
much enthusiasm, and the speakers
were lustily cheered. Many ladies
were among those present.
Ex-State Representative J. Frazier
Glenn, chairman of the anti-prohibi
tion executive committee, presided,
and among the speakers were ex-May
or Alfred S. Barnard, John A. Roe
bling, ex-Chief of Police Silas G.
Bernard, Dr. Paquin and Judge Thos.
A. Jones.
The general opinion expressed by
the speaners was that prohibition
would not be a good thing for Ashe-j
ville and the people were urged not
to be carried away by frenzy or hys-j
teria, but to listen to reason and not,
do anything which would cripple the j
industrial and financial interests of
the city.
By voluntary agreement among the
liquor men, all the saloons in the city
wore closed last evening at 7 o'clock,
to remain closed until Wednesday
next, the day after the election.

Aged Mountaineer Takes
Spin In Automobile
Ashevllle, N. Oct. s.—For the
first time in his long life of 90 years,
"Big Tom" Wilson, known as tiie
grand old man of the mountains, and
the most famous hunter in North Car
olina, last Wednesday saw an automo
bile, and with his aged, and equally
astonished wife, enjoyed a r'de in a
big 60-horse-power touring Q \
' The machine was takec p into
the mountains by George CL«.ney ana
a hunting party which left this city
some little time ago, and despite
warnings that the car would be un
able to negotiate the steep and rough
mountain roads, the party returned
today without having had an acci
dent and with two deer stowed in the
tonneau.
"Big Tom" had never seen
an automobile, in fact had
never heard of one, his entire
life having been .spent in the snug
little cabin which nestles in the wil
derness of the noted Murchison boun
dary, in Yancy county, among the
mighty mountains where bears, deer
and other animals are more fre
quently met than human beings, and
when the old-couple saw the big tour
ing car come chugging up to the
cabin, they were overcome with as
tonishment and dismay. After "Big
Tom" had examined the machine very
critically, the couple were invited to
climb in and take a ride, but posi
tively refused, and it was only after
much persuasion that the old couple
were induced to seat themselves in
the tonneau, and when the machine
sped up the road, they clung to
each other in terror, but later ap
peared to enjoy the novel sensation,
though they expressed much relief
when once more on solid ground.

RHEUMATISM
CAN NOT BE RUBBED AWAY .
It is perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the muscles,
nerves, joints and bones are throbbing and twitching l with the pains of
Rheumatism the sufferer is apt to turn to the liniment bottle, or some other
external application, in an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing
counter-irritation on the flesh. Such treatment will quiet the pain tempo
rarily, but can have no direct curative effect on the real disease because it
does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Rheumatism is more
than skin deep—it is rooted and grounded in the blood and can only be
reached by constitutional treatment—lT CANNOT BE RUBBED AWAY.
Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by
the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenue 3
of bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. This
refuse matter, coming in contact with the different acids of the body, forms
uric acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the
body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. The aches and pains
are only symptoms, and though they may be scattered or relieved for a time
by surface treatment, they will reappear at the first exposure to cold or
dampness, or after an attack of indigestion or other irregularity. Rheuma
tism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated
with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease will shift
from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling on the nerves, causing
inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the nervous system
is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes
deformed and crippled fqr life. S. S. S. thoroughly cleanses the blood and
renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and expelling all foreign
matter from the system. It warms and Invigorates the blood so that instead
■ i..-. . ■; ..... .. of a weak, sour stream, constantly deposit
ing acrid and corrosive matter in the mus
cles, nerves, joints and bones, the body is fed
and nourished by rich, health-sustaining
® ® # blood which completely and permanently
i cures Rheumatism. S. S. S. is composed
PURELY VEGETABLE °* purifying and tonic properties
just what is needed in every case of Rheu
matism. It contains no potash, alkali or other mineral ingredient, but is
made entirely of purifying, healing extracts and juices of roots, herbs and
barks. If you are suffering from Rheumatism do not waste valuable time
trying to rub a blood disease away, but begin the use of S. S. S. and write
us about your case and our physicians will give you any information or
advice desired free of charge and will send our special treatise on Rheumatism.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Though he may startle the natives.
President Samuel McF.lroy, of the com
mon council of Alleghany, Pa:, is de
termined to vote against the smoke
ordinance when it comes up at the next
meeting, and for a unique reason his
fellow-members say.
The president says he will prove that
it would be "little short of a crime
to shut off the deadly black fumes, in
asmuch as they prevent disease." lie
will prove by the facts, that malaria,
especially, can be cured by inhaling
this black smoke.
McElroy is yardmaster for the Pitts

smoke is emitted from engines and

said to be very bitter toward the
smoke ordinance. McElroy admits
that his argument is new, but declares
he will use it just the same.
