mitted suicide at the home of his
grandmother, Mrs. Noah Town-

' \ustin, whose home was in
Hiih Point, came here Monday
morning on the early 7 o'clock
train, and for some reason not
assigned walked the rest of the i
ff ay to Hildebran. Here he stop
ped at the home of his grand
mother and after talking with
her awhile, wrote several letters
and placed them in a mail box
near the house.
Shortly afterwards he went to
another room, his grandmother
thinking he had went there to
sleep, but a few minutes after
wards heard a pistol shot and on
investigating found him lying
v?jth a bullet hole through his
temple. Dr. Menzies and Dr.
Blackburn were summoned from
here, and the man lived a short
while after they had reached
him.
Mr. J. W. Shuford, of this city,
prepared the bodv for burial and
the funeral was held at Hilde

laid to rest beside that of his
mother.
He was married April 14 to
Miss Frances R, Smith of James
town, near High Point.
In a note he left he stated that
a former sweetheart had driven
him to commit the deed.
The Greensboro News gives
the following as probable cause
of the act:
A story of yesterday seeming
ly from accurate sources was a
possible explanation of his deed.
It was reported that he had bor
rowed at least $2,300 from a
young lady with whom he bad
been going and that sbe went to
him after the marriage and ask
ed that he either pay it or give a
note for it, and that he refused
to do either of these things.

Halt on Enlistments.
Galveston, Texas, May 1. —The
Navy Department today sent or
ders to the local Navy recruiting
station here to accept no more
applications for enlistment in the
Navy except from those who
have been honorably discharged
from the service.
The Navy, it was said, now has
its full authorized strength of
51,000 men as a result of the
heavy enlistments since the
trouble with Mexico began. All
available men seeking to enlist
will be kept on a waiting Hst,
however, in case of a call for
more sailors.
There probably will be no more
movement of troops from Galves
ton to Mexico until the anival of
the Army transports early next
week.
Cattle Bring Good Price at Auction.
One of the most noted sales of
live stock was that held on the
farm of the late John B. Lutz
last Thursday. Five thorough
bred milch cows brought on an
average of $115.00 each, the high
est price paid being $160,00 and
the lowest SBO 00. Two thorough
bred bulls three months old
brought $37.50 and $32.50 respec
tively. Four grade cows brought
$297,00, an average of $72 26
each. Two ten months old grade
heifers brought $37.50 and S2IOO
respectively. One fifth interest
in the senior herd bull brought
$134 00. Considering that all
these were sold at auction to the
highest bidder, the prices receiv
ed are all the more remarkable.
Hen Has Big Family..
Mount Olive, May 3.—Two

Faison. The first hen to set this

brood in a small enclosure; then
all chicks subsequently hatched
by other hens were placed in the
same enclosure with the first
brood, their mothers being shut
up for a few days to wean them
from their brood, the same hen
being kept with the chicks all the
time. It is said that the idea has
worked remarkably well.

CAUSE Of tONFffICtS
American Troops Are Being
Watched by Large Num
ber of Mexicans.'
Washington, May 3, -Dis
patches from Brigadier General
Funston on the situation at Vera
Crus were the subject of a long
conference at the war depart
ment tonight between Secretary
Garrison and Major General
Wotherspoon, chief of staff of the
army.
It was said General Funston
had asked for instructions in
view of the hostile attitude of
the Mexican army near the city.
Earlier in the day the general
had reported that the American
outposts at Vera Cruz, were be
ing watched by Mexicans and
there were more than ten thous
and Mexican troops encamped in
the vicinity. These dispatches
were summed by Secretary Gar
rison, hi their statement:
"I am in receipt, today, of a
dispatch from General Funston,
regarding the incident at the
pumping plant. He says the of
ficer in command of the Mexican
troops was Major Zapota, of the
engineer corps of the Mexican
army. He refers to the fact that
little dependable news about con
ditions in the interior is coming
in, because no more refugees are
now coming in to Vera Cruz. V
"It is reported to him that
General Maas has about 4000 men
at Soledad and there is an un
known number, not large, watch
ing eur lines. He understands
that the Mexicans have 5000
troops at Jalapa. and about 1500
at Palma, where they are throw
ing up defenses. He says there
are many wild rumors afloat,
which are not worthy of cred
ence.
"Some provision sellers came
into the city today, from the
north. The city is quiet. A Mex
ican officer who was in Vera Cruz
in civil clothes was directed to
leave."

At the instance of the board of
governors of the Commercial club
a petition was oirculated in
Statesville this week asking the
Southern railway to put on an
earlier morning train to Char

—and a great number of travel

Statesville for the South by the
present train, which leaves here
at 11 o'clock, and some times
later on account of watting on
connections are missed in Char

The petition asks that a hew
train be put on the Western road
starting at Old Fort, to run via
Statesville to Charlotte, reaching
the latter town not later than
9:30 a. m,, and leaving there on
the return trip not la&r than

Americans All.
Col. Robert E. Lee of Virginia
landed with Scott at Vera Cruz
in 1847. R. E. Lee, ordinary sea
man, landed from Fletcher's fleet
in 1914 and was slightly wound
ed. With his name in the list of
casualties appear a number of
others of purelv English sound
Watson, Morton, Taylor, Lane
and the like; with others that
suggest a remote Norman French
or Huguenot or possibly a more
recent Canadian ancestry, such
as Gilbert, Poinsett, De Lowry,
Bennett.
The first man killed was D. A.
Haggerty, private of marines.
Of his fighting race tifcere is no
lack in the lists, beginmrtg with
Fitzgerald, Boyle. Hughes, Blan
ey and Leahy. Having no flßg
of their own to fight for, the
Poles are fighting for ours as
they have for others, and Nago
rowski and Ponkowski are among
the wounded. Germans are
many, such as Schumaker, Froh
lichstein, Katzenberger and
Schwarz; in a former generation
Smith may possibly have been
Schmidt, or Fisher Fischer.
The Scots are never far away
when there is fighting, and here
are Cameron, McMillan and Mc-
Cloy, along with the Scandina
vian Jans, Anderson and Peter
son. Kwapick and Devorick sug
gest Slavic races not long repre
sented in our country in great
numbers, and the dead De Fab
bio comes of the race of the
greatest war leader of history.
Some names suggest the disguise
of misprint, like Vatioog and
Keas; and at the end the Norman
English Percy takes us back to
Chevy Chase, and Gisburne to
Robin Hood and the Merry Eng
land of cross-bow times.
Whatever the derivation of
these men and the names they
bear, of one thing we may be as
sured. Thev are Americans all.

HON. E. R. PRESTON
STEMS 111 IIU(
______
States That if Elected to Con
gress Will Do His Best
For the People.
Hon. E R. Preston, candidate
for Congress from the Ninth
Congressional District, spoke to
a large and appreciative audience
in the City Hall, Saturday even
ing, May 2. fie was introduced
by Mr. W. J. Shuford in a few
well-chosen words,
Mr. Preston's speech was short,
as he had spoken twice that day,
yet it was decidedly to/the point.
He Btated among other things,
that if he is elected to Congress
he will put forth every effort to
carry out the wishes bl^he\ peo
ple from the Ninth Congressional
district, and not confine his ap
pontments to the people of his
own county, as has been done in
the past. He advocates Rural
Credit Associations, and thinks
they will be for the benefit of
farmers through the country. He
referred to the record of; Mr.
Webb in Congre ;s, * i o the
fact that he hai not gott u: the
appropriations for his district to
which it was entitled, and which
otner congressmen nad gotten
for their districts.
At the close of Mr. Preston's
speech he remaned that there
was a gentleman in jthe room
whom he knew the people
be glad to hear from and called
on Hon. W. A. Self, who respond
ed by saying he did n&i care to
worry the sudience, but that if
he could stand it they surely
coold. He said it hadbeen stated
by Mr. Webb's followers that
there were a few me# in Hickory
called "sore-heads'' because they
did not secure their man for post
master, and now want to take
Mr. Webb's job. He (asked the
question, was this job Mr, Webb's,
or does it belong to the people of
the Ninth Congressional district?
When our forefathers framed the
Constitution of the United States
they limited the term of Congress
to two years, then the candidate
may stand for re election, if he
so desires." Gen. George Wash
ington, the father of our country,
then president of the United
States, declined to accept the
third term of office, wliich pre
cedent has been followed up to
the present. Mr. Webb has been
elected to Congress for six terms,
and yet is not satisfied, and
wants the seventh \term. Mr.
Self gave out a challenge to any
man to meet hifta in joint debate,
and try to prove to him why Mr.
Webb should have the seventh
term of office. They were two
strong speeches, and the lesults
will be seen in the large . vote
that will be given J£r. Preston
from Catawba county.

TWICEJOLET TESTIMONY.
Hickory People Are Doing All They
Can For Fellow Sufferers.
Hickory Testimony has been pub
lished to prove the merit of Doan's
Kidney Pills to others in Hickory who
suffer from bad backs arid kidney ills.
Lest any sufferer doubt this evidence
of merit, we produce confirmed proof
—statements from Hickory people who
again endorse Doan's Kidney Pills—
confirm their former testimony.
Here's a Hickory case:
H. W. Minga, 801 Twelfth St.,
Hickory, N. C., says: "For 'several
months -I had a severe pain in the
small of the back. After f stooped, I
cou Id hardly straighten. In the morn
ing 1 was lame and sore. Doan's Kid
ney Pills, procured at Moser & Lutz's
Drug Store, helped me at once. By
the time I had used two boxes, I was
cured."
RE-ENDORSEMENT.
On March 6, 1912, Mr. Minga said: "I
gladly confirm the statement I gave
before recommending Doan's Kidney
Pills. They did me more good than
any other kidney remedy I ever took."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Minga had. Foster-Mllburn Co.,
