No. 8 from Monroe, is a champion
slayer of hawks. In his buggy he
carries a small rille, and with it he
has lately killed eleven hawks
along his route. Tbe chicken

At the home of the bride, Rev.
(. I. Ilinson and Miss Stella
Foard, of Nashville, Tenn., were
married last Wednesday night He
is now pastor of the Holmes Me
morial Methodist church of Salis

Mr. Hiuson is the son of Mr. Jere
Ilinson, of east Mouroe township.
When the statement began to
float around that Monroe was to
have another cotton mill no one
dreamed that it was to be ready for
work so soon in two or three
mouths. The company, of which
Mr. Charles Iceman is president
and general manager, W. 8. Lee,
vice president and J. L. Kverett
secretary and treasurer, has pur
chased the building of the Crow
Hosiery Mill aud will at once stock
it with spinning machinery. The
hosiery mill will put up a new
building near by more suitable to
its purpose.
The store of T. J. Gordon &
Co., with all its contents, was de
stroyed by fire at Mineral Springs
Wednesday night after it had Uen
robbed. It had also been robbed
jnst oue week before, on the same
night of the week, and there seems
to be no doubt that the fire was
the effort of the robtier to conceal
his deed. On the first night only
goods were molested, but on the
night of the fire it is believed that
an attempt was made ou the safe
also. Mr. John Gordon, wbo was
manager of the company, was
arroused at 12 o'clock by an explo
sion, ami looking out of his win
dow, which was near the store,
saw the whole inside of the build
ing in flames. The explosion was
that of powder in the store proba
bly. The loss was over 91,000,
with only half that amount
of insurance. Nothing was saved.
Three baled of cotton on the out
side belonging to Mr. T. J. Gor
don were also bnrned and dam
aged. Messrs. T. J. and John Gor
don, Crow Brothers and Mr. W. W.
Laney were the stockholders of the
business. Mr. J. T. Gordon has
opened up a store at his residence
till the company can put np a
brick building.
A good number of the business
men of Monroe attended the smo
ker given by the Jackson Club last
Wednesday night Several speeches
were made, and as a result of the
meeting several new members
ioinedthe dab. The work of the
organization was shown to be first
of all for the general welfare, the
object being an organization around
which tbe progressive spirit of Mon
roe might unite and pall together for
all those movements that promised
anything for the town's upbuilding.
Tbe club's standing committee on
railroads were instructed to take up
the matter of co-operating with the
management of the Cberaw and
Lancaster railroad for its exten
sion to Monroe, Tbe road has made
a defiinite proposition, and if this
county or any portion of it will sub
scribe twenty-five thousand dollars
to the capital stock of the company
the road will be built here. If it
comes here it will be but a matter of
time till it wilt be pushed on to
some point on the Southern above
Charlotte. This would give Mon
roe a railroad connection not pos
sessed by aay town in North Caro
linapractical connection with all
the three great systems tbe Sea
board, Southern and Coast Line. A
charter for the road frem tbe Fox
place to Monroe will be secured at
this session of the Legislature by
the Jackson Club,
The Work of tbe Court.
The 8 a peri or Court adjourned
last Thursday afternoon. True to
hia word given before the grand
jury, Judge Council Sued or im
prisoned all persons eouvicted of
carrying concealed weapoua. If all
the judges woald do the same, this
evil would just a bunt disappear.
Sheriff A. IX Hood of Fairfield
eouuty, 8. C, and bis deputy, W.
IX Gilbert, wbo rame here last
summer to arrest a negro named
Henry Jobuaon, wbo had been liv
ing in tbe I'nionville section sev
eral Tears, and, on his show of
fight, shot him dead, were tried.
The story as told by Hood, wbo did
tbe shooting, and corroborated by
Gilbert, was accepted as the facts
in the case and under the charge of
tbe court the jury so found. Brief
ly, this was that Johnson was serv
ing a eeutence of one year on the
roads in airfield eouuty in lSiis,
that be escaped after serving only
four mouths, that Hood received
an anonymous letter some time ago
say mg that the man was living in
I mon county, aud that he came
here to investigate, and finding on
reaching Johusoo's home that he
was tbe man wanted, informed him
that be must return with hi in.
That then Johnson raised a shot
gun which be brought from the
house and pointed it iu a foot of
Hood's stomach as if to fire, and
that Hood, thinking thut such was
his intention, drew his pistol aud
shot Johnson. Upon the verdict
of manslaughter the Judge sen
tenced the two men to four months
each in jail, and they appealed to
tbe Supreme Court, gave bond aud
returned home.

Contest Closed Prices Awarded. I Trying to Redeem Anson County
A great deal of interest bus ex-1 A strong movement hss been in
isted in tbe voting roDteMt to decide laugurated in Auson county which
who should receive tbe souvenir seeks to drive tbe liquor basinets
prveents front tbe Holy Land to be out of Wadmhoro by legislative
j a good company.
brought home by Mr. A. M. Staek.
Tbe contest cloM-d at twelve o'clock
yesterday.
The three prizes fur niiuistera go
to the following, with the vole of
eac h: Rev. W.H AtxruWhy. pan
eor of Weddiugton circuit, 2710;
Rev. W. R. Ware, pastor Central
church, 15Mt; Rev. J. A. Biveus,
pastor of several Baptist churches
in tbe county, ItiiO.
All the several huudred names
on the eligible roll were put in a
box aud after being thoroughly
shaken, three were drawn out by a
small boy who knew nothing of the
contest. Tbe lucky names are M
C. Broom, It II. Hiuxon aud Hugh
Howie.
The following young ladies were
the succeatdul oues: Miss Arlie
McCaiu, Waxhaw, ;10; MissMary
Uavis, Monroe, '.'ti.-O; Mix HriM
Richardson, Buford township ''110.
A great deal of iuterot reutered
in the contest as to w hich mail
carrier should receive tbe preseut.
The highest votes at the close of
the contest, were : J. R Doster,
Route 3, Waxhaw. ll.Uhi: It C.
Nislet Route 5, Waxhaw, ll,t00;
8. H. Rocers, Route 4. Monroe.
10,!KHt. It will be recalled that
there was promised one present
only for mail carrier, which Mr.
Ifcwter wins. However, the friends
of the other two leading contest
ants worked so hard for them and
the votes were so close that we
have decided to make three pres
ents for these as well as for the
others. This is not unfair to any
one, but merely gives that much,
more than was promixed. The vote
will show that there was more in
terest in the mail carrier coutest
than in the others, aud it is only
right to give as many prizes. We
will therefore ask Mr. Stack to
purchase two additional souvenirs
n Jerusalem. The names of all
the wiuuers will lie forwarded to
Mr. Stack at once, and he will
bring the presents when be returns.
Meanwhile bis letters will go au as
usual.
euai'tmeut Petitions are now being
circulated in the county for I he
purjxme of securing, if possible, a
majority of the signatures of the
qualified voters of the county,
is believed that if such signatures
can be obtained tbe legislature
will respoud by making the town
dry. The ministers of the town
aud a number of young men, con
spicuous among whom are two that
I uion county lately gave Anson,
Mr. V. K. Brock, attorney, and
Mr. W. C. Bivens, editor of the An
eouian, are hard at work and are
organizing the townships. Rev,
II. Atkinson went down last
wet-k as a representative of the
anti saloon league of this county,
wbicb passed, at a meeting in ( en
tral church last week, a strong res
olutiou asking our representatives
to do all that they can for this
movement, and assisted in the or
ganization of three townships. The
surrounding territory, all of which
is prohibition, naturally has an in
terest in this movement While
there is no disposition, so far as we
know, to be intrusive, or to inter
fere with the affairs of our neigh
bois in this or other conuties, it is
likely that, since tbe movement has
been started in Anson, all the aid
that can be extended by outside
well wishers will be offered. A
proiuineut citizen of Anson county
is wont to say that much of the
rowdyism at the Anson depot is
committed by Union county people
w bo go there for liquor. If that is
the case, I'nion county people
ought to be interested in removing
tbe temptation.
The Kind of Immigrants Wanted.
Squire W. L. Wolfe is circu
lating a paper among land owners,
which he proposes to present to
our representatives iu the legis
lature for the purpose of show
ing the need of farm labor iu this
county. Mr. olfe's idea is that
we need families wbo are will
ing to work, who are accustomed
to an agricultural life, aud who
will be satisfied oil tbe farms.
Such families, he thinks, would re
ceive a hearty welcome from land
owners aud be given most favora
ble contracts.
The legislature is discussing the
subject of immigration, and is
likely to make some appropria
tion to this end. South Carolina
is proving successful in her efforts
to get good immigrants. A Ger
man steamship, "The Wittekind,"
is now expected at Charleston ou
its second trip with immigrants.
Tho "Witekiud" will bring con
siderable more immigrants on this
second trip than sbo did on the
first, and while the number is not
yet definitely known, it is under
stood that about SOU uie.i, women
and children will be aboard the
ship. The receut decision of the
Washington Immigration depart
ment, sustaining the methods pur
sued by Comuiiasioner Watson, of
South Carolina, will no doubt have
its effects, and it is believed that
this decision will result iu more
passengers being booked for than
before. The first load of immi
grants consisted partly of skilled
mill hands. The second load, it is
understood, will consist largely of
agricultural helpers and domestics,
and it is believed that there will
be no difficulty iu placing them.
The farmers have beeu clamoring
for more helpers on the farms du
ring the past year, and domestic
servants are also in great demand.
Since the above was written The
Journal has received some direct
information from the Anson move
ment. There are between forty
and fifty petitions out over the
county. The territory is being
completely covered, a rider being
assigned to every road in the coun
ty. Up till last Saturday night,
the petitioners lacked only about
'-'() mimes of having a majority of
the iiualitied voters of adeslwro.
In M or ven township all but live of
the qualified voters bad signed,
and two thirds of them in Liles-
ville township. In the town of
Ansouville, 3(i out of the 3S voters
signed. In Laneslioro township,
out of 43 men approached, 41
signed. The workers confidently
expect to get a majority of the
qualified voters. It is supposed
thut Mr. Lockhart, who represents
the county in the legislature, will
light the measure, even if a ma
jority of the voters sign the peti
tions, in which case the legislature
will be. asked to grant relief anyway.
Proceedings of County Commis
sioners.
The county commissioners met in
regular monthly session ycyterriay
aud today. Several new roads were
petitioned for which were ordered
advertised to be considered at sub
sequent meetings. One of these
petitions asks for a new road Irom
point ou the Wolf l'onu road
about the old still site south of
town to enter town about the col
ored graded school building. Au
other is for a road a mile and a half
long from A. L. Ixx-ke's in Jack
sou towuship on the Potter road
to the Monroe and W axbaw road,
Xnother is for a public road from
Marshville to Hamilton's Cross
Roads church in New Salem
It W. Elliott's bond as county
surveyor was accepted.
Clifford Fowler was appointed
constable of Sandy Ridge township
and bis bond accepted.
Tbe big job ot coing over the
prescriptions of tbe medical depos
itory requires a great deal of time
of the commissioners each month.
In December there were IW7 pre
scriptions to go over. For January
there were 74a prescriptions, giveu
by a total of nineteen doctors. The
name of the doctor, tbe name or
the one receiving the prescription,
the kind secured, aud the price,
are all on the record books, and
are gone over each month. It is
said that there is at least one doc
tor in the doctor wbo has never
given prescription to the deposi
tory. The grand jury last week
reported that there were too many
being givn. This is the second
grand jury that has said tbe same
thing. Tbe number given dy each

Stoddard Lectures.
The people of Mouroe are fa
vored in having the opportunity
to secure for themselves and their
children, the famous "Stoddard
Lectures." The publishers of this
set of hooks have just sent their
representative here for the first
time, although a large number of
these iHMikg were sold iu Charlotte
and other large cities during the
past few years. Mr. Stoddard de
voted over twenty years to the
work of traveling through the won
derland of our country, such as the
Grand Canon, Yellowstone Park,
California, and Niagara, as well as
visiting the countries in Europe,
ilso Greece, Asia Minor, Palestine
and Egypt In his splendid illus
trated lectures giveu in all our large
eities lor years, Mr. John L. Stod
dard produced the best pictures,
and gave the most interesting lec
tures on travel that had ever been
given. Since his retirement from
the platform, these same lectures
mid pictures have been published
in a set of books, and are now be
ing read by every one who loves
good literature, and also as a sub
stitute for a preparation for travel.
These books can only be obtained
while tbe agent is iu town, and are
sold on terms within the reach of
all w ho appreciate good reading.
Monroe, N. C,
February 4, 1907.
Mr. George Shipman,
Dear Sir : I consider the Stod
dard lectures one of tbe most val
uable sets of books that a family
can own, and consider the reason
able terms on which this wonder
ful work is offered, affords every
family the opportunity of becom
ing acquainted with the most im
portant places and events in his
tory, by one who is more thor
otigbly qualified to speak thau any
other I know. Having purchased
a set for myself, I trust you may
lie able to place many seta of these
valuable books in tbe homes here.
