A TRAVELING MAN'S EXPERI
ENCE
"I must tell you my experience on
an East bound O. R. & N. R. R. train
from Pendleton to LeGrande, Ore.,
writes Sam A. Garber, a well known
traveling man. "I was in the smok
ing department with some other travel
ing men when one of them went out
into the coach and came back and said,
' There is a woman sick unto death in
the car. lat once got up and went
out, found her very ill with cramp col
ic; her hands and arms were drawn up
so yon could not straighten them, and
with a deathiike look on her face. Two
or three ladies were working with her
and giving her whiskey. I went to my
suit case and got my bottle of Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy (I never .travel without it,)
ran to the water tank, put a double
dose of the medicine in the glass, pour
ed some water into it and stirred it
with a pencil; then I had quite a time
to get the ladies to let me give it to her
but I succeeded. I could at once see
the effect and I worked with her, rub
bing her hands, and in twenty minutes
I gave her another dose. By this time
we were almost into Le Grande, where
I was to leave the train I g've the
bottle to the husband to be used in case
another dose should be needed, but by
the time the train ran into Le Grande
she was all right, and I received the
thinks of every p?ssenger in the car.''

Raderin Jail.
On last Saturday the Demo
crat s reporter went to Newton
for the purpose of interviewing
Lon Rader who killed Willie Bol
linger under circumstances of
atrocity unparalelled in the his
tory of Catawba county.
Rader hfcs none of the appear
ance or manner of an a saisin.
dis face indicates weakness and
rood-nature and in his light gray
eyes is' none of that ferocity
which one would expect in a
man who committed the savage
butchery that horrified the peo
pie of the peaceful little village
of Startown. Rader is a little
below medium height. Son e
thing about his movements, tl e
soft, stealthy tread, as he walk
ed to and fro in his cell, gave a
hint of the craft with which
this dangerous lunatic led his
jwn, and the family of the dead
girl to believe that he was alto
gether harmless.
Asked why he.committed tl e
dreadful deed, Rader replied in
the dull, sing song voice that in
dicates the mind over which in
sanity's dark night has settled:
"She was a witch. Sue was the
enemy of the race. God ccm
mananded me to kill her, I hated
it. It was hard to do but I heid
to obey God rather tht n man."
When questioned further, he ex
claimed with the whimper of a
lonely child; "People, please
don't ask me any more about it.
I don't want to talk about it any
more,"
That he does not understand
the nature and gravity of the of
fence with which he is charged
seems perfectly evident.
He gazed wistfully through
the bars of his steel cage, and
with a tremulous touch of en
treaty in his voice asked Jailor
Nixon: "Are you going to let
me out of here today?" "Not to
day, Lon," said the kindhearted
jailor. "But some of your folks
will be over this evening."
"Don't you like to stay here?"
Asked the Democrat' 3 reporter.
"Oh! yes," replied the poor in
sane lad, with a pathetic attempt
to appear cheerful. I'll stay
here. I'll stay anywhere they
want me to; but," he added
eagerly "I'd rather go home,
I'd rather be with my people in
the country."
Having said this, he waited a
moment to see whether it would
have any effect toward releasing
him and letting him return to
the old country home which he
was evidently longing to see,
and finding that it did not, he
resumed his restless, cat-like,
stride up and down the narrow
confines of his cell. Suddenly
without any preliminaries, he
began to sing in stentorian tones
"Glory! Hallelujah! Christ has
paid the debt for all. Glory!
Hallelujah! Salvation is free."
The bystander could not help
wondering how often the prisoner
had sung that song in the little
Startown Sunday school to the
dead girl's accompaniment on
the organ, and how little either
of them imagined under what
dreadful circumstances he was
destined to sing it."
Despite its jubilant worcfs, the
song sounded anything but
cheerful, coming as it did through
prison bars, from the lips of a
singer whose hands were red
with the blood of the woman
whom he had loved loved to dis
traction. Presently he ceased
singing as abruptly as he had be
gun. "I shall never taste of
death," he announced, "I am
going to be translated like
Enoch Brc. Nixon can't you
give me some fresh eggs.":
Jailor Nixon complied with his'
request. "Thank God for these I
eggs," he said, pronouncing a;
blessing over them as if they j
had been food provided at a'
daily meal.
"I want to be a garden angel" j
he resumed, as soon as he had
demolished the with an ap
petite remarkably vigorous for
one about' to be translated,
i "Enoch was a garden angel."
S Tnen he began his tireless
walk and his song of two lines,
vet i time witn his hands.
The hallelujahs were still rins
ing hrough the corridors of the
jiii, as the reporter took his
leave. There are many strange
phenomena in life; but none
stranger than that of a diseased
human mind.
Family Reunion.
Mr. C. S. Little and family, of
Southside, and Mr. M, L. Little,
of Lincolnton, were in Hickory
Sunday visiting their mother,
Mrs. C. A. Little, who for tne
first time had all of her ten
children and grand children
with'her.
The following are the names
of her children and their places
of residence: M, C. Little, Lin
colnton; A. B. Little, Washing
ton, D. C., W. A. Little, Hick
ory, C. S. Little, Southside; C.
H. Little, New German, Nova
Scotia; Mrs. E L. Pegram, Sta 1-
ley Creek; the Misses Hermine,
Jennie.Lee, Pearl and Mabie Lit
tle, a!! of flickov,
It is not often that a mother
of ten children can have them all
with her at one time after they
have reached maturity and pre
scattered and have families of
their own, and this # must have
been a glad day indeed for Mrs.
Little and we can only hope that
she miy enjoy many such home
comings of her loved ones.—Lin

A Strong Republican Protest.
The letter President Roosevelt
wrote a Montana in which
he vouched for Judge Taft, has
had the opposite of the effect in
tended. Mr. Bryan's reply was
convincing and made clear the
fact that Judge Taft should speak
for himself, if he expects to be
considered seriously by the voters
of the country. The Chicago
Inter Ocean, one of the leading
Republican papers in the west,
thinks Mr. Roosevelt has placed
Mr. Taft in a humiliating position
by reas' n of his letter to the
Wisconsin Ranchman.
That paper agrees with Mr.
Bryan that Judge Taft is over
21, and should speak for himself.
The Inter Ocean said in this con
nection: i
' 'lt is a fact, and not a criti
cism, that Mr. Taft today is suf
fering from to much Roosevelt.
''Therefore the present effort
to strengthen Mr. Taft solely as
another Roosevelt, a mere heir
of a Roosevelt dynasty, is not
likely to have exactly the effect
desired by Mr. Taft's friends.
' 'The American people undoubt
edly are prejudiced against mak
ing a man president merely on
one man's sayso. Much as they
respect a President of the United
States, they hesitate to let him
name bis successor.
"There is a feeling that Mr.
Taft should stand occasionally on
his own record.
"To stand before the voters
simply as another man's shadow
imitator, protege, executor, and 1
heir, is not an attitude that in
spires even the average Roosevelt
man with aggressive loyalty to
Mr. Taft."
When Republicans approach
you for your vote and make fair
promises tell them what their
fair promises in the past did to
North Carolina.
Improve the Town Property
We are all interested in the property
of our town. We can contribute to it
materially, and give it a far more pros
perous look at the same time.
Perhaps the public property needs a
good coat of paint.
Devoe will supply that coat with two
thirds of the number of gallons required
of any other. Devoe will last twice as
long as any other. Devoe is all paint
and full-measure. Devoe is the strongest
paint known. Devoe will take care of
the property, in the long run, for hall
: the money required by afcy other.
The reason is stated above: Devoe if.
all paint and full measure: the stronger
paint known.
E D Jewell, Corry, Pa, painted his
house 5 years ago with a mixed paint;
took 14 gallons Last spring he re
" painted with Devoe; bought 14 gallons
aud had 4 left; Saved sls to S2O, as
painting costs two or three times as
much as the paint.

SHOP SURROUNDINGS.
Employees of Plant Combining Beauty
and Commercialism.
Tbe appearance of many towns and
cities is spoiled by unkempt surround
ings of business sites, and seldom is
any attempt made to improve and
beautify these places. Tbe plan is
being tried in Brooklyn, N. Y., how
ever, to interest the employees of a
company in improvement work, and
the story of how an esprit de corps
came to replace a don't care feeling in
the personnel of one of tbe largest sin
gle traction concerns In the country is
an Interesting one.
Some time ago the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company adopted a policy of
beautifying as far as possible tbe dif
ferent portions of Its property. It was
a pet idea of Mr. Winter, Its presi
dent. that the mere fact that a struc
ture is built for commercial purposes
is no excuse for its being hideously
ugly.
This was quite a reversal of did tra
ditions, but it has already gone partly
Into effect The great new Williams
burg power station Is tbe company's
most striking exposition of this new
policy.
Beginning was made at the construc
tion shop of the elevated lines at the
foot of Thirty-ninth street. The yard
that surrounds this shop—formerly a
passenger terminal station—was clean
ed of the litter of old locomotives and
discarded coaches. These were sold
when possible and given away for fire
wood in other cases.
Last spring the shop foremen were
informed that the railroad would pro
ceed to lay out the edge of tbe yard
with grass plots and fiower beds. Sim
ilar steps were taken at the other ele
vated shops at East New York. Fresh
Pond road and at Thirty-sixth street.
The same methods of decoration thai
proved so successful on the company's
property at Brighton Beach were put
in effect. „
Then came the surprising part of the
programme. Shopmen displayed an
astonishing amount of Interest in the
plans for beautifying the property
They organized into bands and early
on summer nights reported after hours
for work on the shop grounds. Theirs
was entirely a voluntary procedure
They showed an interest in the whole
project. It was a new spirit showing
Itself.
Nor was that aIL The men from
lathe and plane and drill press worked
alongside the laborers, and then the?
got together with the shop foremen
and made a new proposal.
"Let's buy big flags—big, fine Amer
ican flags—to float over every shop o!
this company and show folks when
they go riding by that there are good
Americans working under the roofs."
So the big movement started. The
men all wanted to subscribe—nickels
dimes and an occasional quarter were
the order of the day—and when thej
were done the foremen topped ofT the
list for tbe big flags. Tbe railroad
company put up high steel poles, and
there has been a series of flag raising*
all summer.
Every elevated shop now flies its flap
as regularly as a military post Out at
the newest shop in Fresh Pond road
the transportation men watched the
big pole and flag of the shopmen
ascend. So the guards, motormen and
conductors of tbe trains running there
bought a flag and had tbe company
erect a second steel pole for their flag
Other plans of tbe same sort are under
way.
The Billboard Fight.
An ordinance which is expected to
force billboards from the residence dis
tricts was recently approved by the
Chicago council building committee
It requires billboard companies to se
cure consent of two-thirds of the prop
erty owners on both sides of the street
before erecting a billboard in any block
in the residence district Any block
In which a majority of tbe lots are
occupied by residences Is to be con
sidered, for the purpose of the ordi
nance, a residence neighborhood
Strong protests were made by the rep
resentatives of tbe billboard companies
when the ordinance was first consid
ered by the building committee, but no
further objections were made at the
time of its approval, energy being re
served for action later, but it is be
lleved that this ordinance will even
tunlly drive the billboard from resi
dence districts.
Scheel Gardens.
All tbe available space not needed
for play should be put Into school gar
dens, and if the school grounds prove
of insufficient extent an effort should
be made to obtain the use of a vacant
lot nearby. Each child should have
a plot for its own and should be pro
tected In such ownership. Not only
must the children be taught to care
for their own, but they must learn to
respect and protect the rights of oth
ers. So general has become the inter
est in school gardens that it is now
possible In many states to get teachers
trained in the work. Children should
not be deprived of playtime, but every
encouragement should be lent to carry
some of tbe work on In the home gar
den and there or at the schoolyard do
certain garden work on Saturdays.
Local Retailers Meet Prices.
Do the catalogue houses sell goods
cheaper than the retail dealers do?
No, they do not—they cannot and make
a profit, and they are in it for the
profit and nothing else. The price of
some of the pictured articles in tbe
catalogue Is less than It can be sold
by the retailer and make a profit.
These ate leaders —stool pigeons to
draw the flock to the trap. You Will
find that any live retail merchant Is
ready and willing to meet the cata
logue prices when the quality of goods
is considered.
