VARNER, Davidson Miners are Treated Like ' -i: Convicts, Says Harrison , ., Miller, . Editor Dispatch : I have re ceived from several parties in North Carolina enquiries wanting to know if the men who came from North Carolina to take the places of the striking miners in West Virginia, are working un der, guards. I will say yes, they are heavily cuarded day and night, as though they were con victs. 1 will say that there are some forty or more men working within two miles of me Jthat re from my home in North Carolina, old friends of mine.. On account of the guards I can't get to see them or they can't come to see me. .; lV'V''::;t- Ujvery single civil liberty is taken from us by injunction; as many as three men can't travel the public highway together or they are put in jail; the guards mistreat us upon every occasion tney get a cnance and conse quently we have to be very care ful as to how we act. " Any ques tions will be carefully and truth luuy answerea by any wno.may. wish to know further the de plorable conditions as they exist in this section of the West Vir ginia coal fields. The ' miners are . being ejected . from their nouses, many with sick wives and children. Some of t them have died In a few minutes after they were put out. Yours Sincerely, Harrison Miller. ; Gatewood, W. Vat His Neck was Broken. - Charlotte New. Mr. R. Frank Hornbuckle.over seer at Aba earning room of the Atherton mill met a horrible death at this mill this morning at 7,30 o'clock. In attempting to replace a belt on a pulley, while the machinery was in motion, he was caught in the belting and carried over the shafting 'several times. Before the ponderous machinery could be stopped the unfortunate man was dead. Tha accident occurred shortly after the day force went on duty. One of the large belts that pulls the machinery of the carding room, slipped from the pulley. Mr. Hornbuckle's attention was called to the belt and he went im mediately to remedy it. Several of the mill hands were near the spot when Mr. Hornbuckle caught hold of the belt. The next instant they saw the huge piece of belting encircle him and the next moment the unfortunate man was revolving around the shafting 12 ''feet above the point where he was standing. - The machinery was stopped as quick ly as possible, but It was too late to save the man's life. The force of the swift revolutions of. the shafting brought death and. that almost immediately. The . body was taken down, but life was ex tinct. On examination it was ascer tained that the neck was broken and the right shoulder was dis located. Otherwise the body was .not seriously disfigured. Deceased was 80 years old and was a member of the Junior Or der of American Mechanics. Mr Gea W. Montcastle, presi dent of the Bank of Lexington, went to vJharlotte tnis morning on business. , DISCONTINUED. discontinue the joint can They Will Be aLTnomasvflle Od. Gov. Chas. B. Ay cock and Hon.

Wewaste what a Yankee com munity would live upon.,; We throw away thousands of bush els of vegetables and fruits in their season, and when they are gone buy the canned goods put up by our northern friends, who know that we must nave them. Corn from Maine, peaches from Jersey, tomatoes from Maryland, and even sweet potatoes raised and canned in Massachusetts have been sold in the Southern markets. We are ' sleeping over our rights and throwing away our opportunities. We must , turn over several new leaves If we would be indersa dent, and as the natural outone, Let Everybody Register Who is Eft titled to do so. There is an entirely new regis tration this year! Your old registration will not entitle you to vote this year. Da less you register before th books close on the 25th of Octo ber, you cannot vote this year. " : The books are now open for registration, and will be open for thispun8eeveryday,Sundayex cepted, until sunset Saturday, October twenty-fifth! , ; ' Let everybody who is entitled to vote under the Amendment register at once. ; Register your self and get your neighbors t register. The adoption of the Constitu tional Amendment made an en tirely new registration neces sary.' The disfranchised negro" registered in the campaign of 1900, and if the Legislature had not provid ed for new r ecistra- tionthis year the names of all these negroes would remain oa the registration books. : An entirely new registration this year was necessary to put the amendment in operation in this election. ' ' HARLEE MacCALL, ESQ, Hon. H. B. Varner, Lexington, N. C. Dear Friend : I notice from The Dispatch that you have nom inated Harlee MacCall, Esq., for the House. In this I desire to congratulate, the Democrats Of your county. . .. I was Reading Gerk of the Senate during the last session' and while in this capacity I had occasion to observe Mr. MacCall, who was Clerk to the Judiciary Committee. He impressed me, as he did all others, as a young' man of unusual ability and one of most sterling traits of character. He is a very intelligent young man and bis experience last ses sion will enable him to serve your people much better than one who has had no legislative experience. I rejoice too that your county has recognized young men. It has long since been used as a slogan against our party that it would not recognize young men. And It Is highly to the credit of the young men of North Carolina that they did not follow Pritch ard and Butler when they offered them leadership in those dark days of fusion rule. The young men worked hard to rescue the State from the polluting grasp . of these arch traitors to our in stitutions and it is fit and proper that they should be recognized and rewarded. , ... . .. . ' I hope the Democracy will be as triumphant with you as it will be with us in the East. Your Friend, -Walter L. Cohoon. Elizabeth City, N. C. October 13, 1902. ' Mljhty Good. This county pays the State ia round numbers about ten thou sand dollars. The State paid back to this county last year for public schools $2,457. The State paid back to this county last year in pensions $4,096. Thus you ' see the county gets back from the State nearly as muck as it pays Into the, State Treas ury. We pay ten thousand and get back six thousand five hun dred and forty -seven dollars. This is good. ' Jack Frost Is Here. " The first frost of the season was observable here this morn ing.
