WuVKE COUNTY AND LIQUOR
There seems to e a liquor fight on
in Raleigh and it nppears from this
distance that those who always have
Ix en regarded as hauor men are en
deavoring to make it unpleasant for
Collector J W. Bailey, who has been
on the side that has fought the liquor
rancr from first to last.
One Capers White, a clerk in the
postonnce ana a roomer in diwiu o
Hotel, a building owned by Mr
Bailey and leased by him to another
nerson. is the special target. We
don't know whether White has been
sellinc booze or not: if he has the
Wake county officials have all the
machinery of the law on their side
and all they are required to do is to
collect the evidence and present it
to the grand jury. '
It is said that in the cases against
J. Sherwood Upchurch and others
tried in federal court, some persons
were shielded, and the inference is
that the collector used influence to
protect one or more rascals. Mr
Baileyaascrts his record as a liquor
fighter is clear, informs the officials
that they know how they can acquire
information and calls attention to
the fact that mighty few blockaders
have been apprehended in Wake
county.
On the face of the printed matter,
the collector has put it up to the
other crowd.

WIFE CONFESSES AVT
. HUSBAND IS RELEASED
Lenoir, Sept. 18. -News has been
received here from Boone, in Wa.
tauga county, that Will Edmisten
who was on a visit to his father's
people, was taken intn
- - - - a. . v v-MV Va
ficers of the law from Indiana, charged
Ruinijf m ma iour-year-oid
daughter and attempting to kill his
wife, at their home in tnp UnA-i..
state. It seems that Edmisten and
nis wue nad quarreled and he left
nome ana aid not tell her where he
was going and he came to this sec
tion to see his people. According
to a confession of his wife, he has
been exonerated of the charges
against him. It seems that the
wife became crazed from the fear
that her husband had left her and
had a nervous spell when night
came on the day of the quarrel.
After going to bed for the nififot,
companied by her little daughter, she
dreamed that a man had come into
the house and was choking her to
death and when she awakened she
feared there was some one in the
house and took the rifle and shot the
child to death and rA u
" bu C1JU kiKk ,
ow" " but when the trigger was
pulled the second time the cartridge'
became lodged in the chamber of the i
J3. discharge. She
.cii triea to Km nerseii by striking
herself over the head with the weap
on, rendering herself unconscious.
The child is dea4 and the mother is
m a serious condition, while with the
husband and father gone and nobody
knowing where, it was supposed he
had committed the awful dead and
skipped tho country. It was some
time before he could ho iw, va
misten did not know anything about
the tragedy until taken back to In
diana to stand trial on the charge.
The wife made a sworn statement in
the presenec of her attorney and a
notary public that she had committed
the crime and her husband was in
no way to blame. From all the
circumstances it appeared to be a
plain case against Edmisten, but he
wag released upon the confession of
his wife.
The singularity of the case has
caused much comment in this section
f the Edmisten family is one of
the best in Watauga county.

THREE BABIES
Columbia State. ... I
Keeping an open mind, as tne pr
tnuchiner bie questions of
state, the Oserver was walking down
street the other day, wnen nw Min
ion was attracted to a squalling oa-
by of perhaps ten or 12 monins
indifferent young
negro girl, half-heartedly trying to
still the storm. v&oy &at ui li

pany with two others similarly plac-

made no bones of letting the fact
be known. Neither its own nurse nor
the two others were able to effect a

fiirpat-. tr ed alternately in a mor.
oncrhlv futile jumble. The other two
contemporaries seemed so unconcern
ed as to suggest iamnaniy io me
point of ennui with such crises in
their sphere of existence.,
Stepping close tne UDserver was
moved to try intervention. 44 Whoopee,
Buster, what's it all about?" New
voice, new face, albeit pretending to
nn onnrm of loveliness whatever, and

a new manner! Baby's momie iace

amazed attention, vocal exercise ceas
ed absolutely, big wide blue eyes gaz

tense with instability of purpose.
Smoke rincrs. lovely smoke rings from
the cigar were tried on a venture. It
worked to a baby s taste uut oi tne
corner of one eye it could be seen
that the infant contemporaries were
invuriatine also in thmis new sen
sation of the moment. One with
ciuick alert glance followed each de
tail of the mam performers entertain.
ment while the other as solemn as a
little owl unblinkingly kept a fixed
care unon the nerformer himself. The
Observer meanwhile quite enjoyed his
conauest over a mad baby, which, for
the benefit of the inexperienced it
may be remarked, is some conquest.
iHlowever. time lacked for an ex
tended performance and by executing
a 1 1 il J
a slow backward rereat to tne siae
walk asram while various and sun-
drv farewell remarks, appropriate to
the audience and a "positively last
appearance," were made, it appear
ed to be a case of "All's well that
ends well." Baby Number One
oricinal disturber of the peace and
baby Number Two, very alert spec
tator, manifested a sense of having
much new matter to mark and in
wardly digest. Baby Number Three
of the stoical solemn look had abou
lapsed gently away into slumber,
Hardly had the Observer got clear
of this heart-easing little entangle
ment that he met five soldiers in the
uniform of the United States army
and that suggested other things.

Paris, Sepb. 18. During the last
meeting of the surgical society, Doc
tor Fredet mentioned a fact which
seemed to show the value of preven
tive injections of anti-tetanus se
rum.
After the battle of Ourcq, a certain
number of wounded French and Ger
man soldiers were collected in a hos
pital. A German doctor had re
mained with the German wounded
and, although sufficient serum was
placed at his disposal, he refused to
use it for his men, saying that he
considered such injections had no
preventive value.
The French - wounded received the
normal doses of the serum. Of
twelve German wounded, six contract
ed tetanus (lock-jaw) and died, while
no r rench wounded showed any synro
to mof it. This example of the se
rum s preventative efficiency has al
the more weight because all the men
naa oeen wounaea under the same
conditions and on the same tetanus-
infected ground.

By the Associated Preea.
Paris, Sept. 18. M. Georges Clem
enceau, the "Tiger" of the French
political world, has not forgotten
that he is or was a doctor of medi
cine. He is, indeed, the son of - a
doctor, and during his three years life
in the United States, he married
Miss Mary Plummer, the daughter
of a physician of Springfield, Mass.
(M. Clemenceau is at present tak
ing the cure at Vichy. He used to go
to Carlsbad before the war. A few
weeks ago a soldier on leave was
injured when his bicycle collapsed as
he was riding into Vichy. The for
mer premier happened to arrive on
the scene in a few minutes. M. Clem
enceau bandagedthe man's damages,
did everything possible to aid him,
and took the injured man in his car
to a Vichy hospital.
