SOME CAITl'KED, SOME XOT. Search for the Virginia Outlaws Has So Far Iteen Only Partially Successful But Every One Will Ite Caught. Hillsville, Vs.. March 22. SIdna Edwards a tall rugged mountaineer, of 22, sat calmly in the darkness of the little brick jail here tonight, the first catch of the posses who have been scouring the mountains for those of the Allen gang who Sot away after the Court House as sasinatlon of March 14th, when a Judge, prosecuting attorney, sheriff and two ty-standers were serious ly wounded. Tonight young Edwards emaciated and worn from a week's wandering In the thickets protests his inno cence of the Indictment of murder against him, and the hunters spur red on by a day's success are up In the Blue Ridge hunting for the same charge, his brother, Wesley Edwards, his uncle, Sidna Allen, and his cousins, Claude and Frtel Allen. Detective LeGrand Felts and W. W. Pbaut, heading a posse, came up on Edwards at 4 o'clock this morn ing asleep in an empty hut a mile from his home. He was unarmed and when he awoke the detectives were at his side. He made no in sistence and went to a farmer's house near Lambsburg. Va., and started for Hillsville with his cap tors early to-day. Jack Allen, his uncle one of the Aliens who was not at the Court House on the day of the tragedy joined his nephew on the way and galloped along with the party. They cantered in and paused wthle the moving picture men clipped oft a few hundred feet of film. De tectives carrying rifles followed be hind. The party turned In at a little lane where the raiders a week ago drew rein and left their ponies while they went to wipe out the human fabric of the Carroll court. SIdna left his mount and was hust led to the little jail across from the stable. He protested against being locked up In a musty cell and want ed to occupy the corrlder, but his keeper was firm and locked hlra up Jack Allen came out and said to the newspaper men: "My nephew SIdna Is the most peaceful man In the county. He wouldn't know what to do with a gun If he had It.' A little questioning angered Allen and he declared his family was be Ing grossly misrepresented. "Fists will fly pretty soon," he said, as two detectives escorted him over the hill. Rumor flew persistently about the countryside today that tho Allen gang, still at large, discouraged by the taking of Edwards and proba bly impressed with the ultimate fu tility of their fight, has sent a prop osition to Governor Mann offering to surrender If they were permitted to plead guilty in tho second de gree. Such a proposal Is said to have been made to Detective W. G. Bald win of Roanoke, by a relative of the Aliens, but the detectives re fused to talk about it. It Is said he turned It down. Governor Mann In Richmond tonight declared he had heard no such proposal. SIdna Edwards, the boy In jail tonight, and his brother, Wesley, were the principals In an escapade which started the trouble which culminated In the assaslnatlon at the Couht House. The brothers had attempted to oust an uncle of theirs from the pulpit, a minister named Garland, and were arrested for breaking the peace. Floyd at tempted to free them and had been convicted and sentenced for Inter fering with an officer when the shooting on March 14 th, began. The authorities to day began to round up those who are charged with complicity In helping the Allen getaway. Gordon Edwards and Alec Thomas were held for aiding and abetting criminals and released on $500 bonds. . Prosecutor Landreth declared to day that the trials would be called upon April 15th. When court con venes on Tuesday other indictment for the murder of Juror Augustus Fowler who died a few hours after the fray, would be reported. R. II. Willis, an attorney, who is representing the Aliens, said to night that he probably would ask for a change of venue for some of them. He admitted that Sidna Al len probably shot Judge Massle In tentionally, but ventured the opin ion that the Court House battle was not premeditated, but that both sides were excited by Floyd Allen's refusal to go to jail. (Continued on page 8.) State Public School Exhibit North Carolina State Fair. It is the purpose of the State Su perintendent of Public Instruction to prepare for the next State Fair a public school exhibit, and In order to do this he must have the co-opera tlon of the counties. Therefore I am asking the teachers whose schools have not closed to secure if lOhsible, from pupils specimens of their work and send It to me Just as soon as convenient. Of course we'll have some time in which to collect these specimens, and schools ahith are not In session may yet cuve an opportunity to send speci mens of their work. I think the Idea of putting the educational work of the State be fore the people in this way is a capital one. Therefore I most earn estly ask the hearty cooperation of the teachers, parents, and pupils in making the educational exhibit for Union county at the next North Carolina Stata Fair, a success. Very truly yours R. X. XE3BIT. , Ruined Again. The sugar Industry in the United States, according to tho wall going up from protectionists, will be ruin ed by the bill removing the tax from sugar, reducing the price ap proximately 2 cents a pound to the consumer. This, then, will be the fourth time the Industry will have been "ruined", according to protec tionists always according to pro tectionists. The standpatters said the indus try would be ruined when Porto Ri co sugar was admitted free. But It wasn't. Then they said it would surely perish when Philippine sugar was admitted free, and gave up the same cry when , Cuban sugar was given a downward reduction. Dur ing this time of "ruin", cane sugar production more than doubled, but the price of sugar has never ceased to advance In price to the consum er. The wholesale price of stan dard granulated sugar on the day this article was written is $5.85 per hundred, pounds. One week ago to day It was Vi-75. One month ago today, $5.45, nad one year ago, $4, 60. Whether the sugar trust finds it necessary to Increase prices to re imburse Itself for the stolen mill ions it was forced to disgorge to the government, following the ex posures of the underwelghing frauds of the sugar trust, or whether the Increases are actually Justified by a shortage of sugar production abroad Is considered a dcbatablo question by many. But the fact that the w holesale price of sugar In London averages two cents a pound less than In the United States, the yea' around, shows tho advantage In fav or of the consumers of the country where there Is neither a sugar tariff nor a sugar trust. Five Children In Fifteen Months. The wife of Earl Gatewood, col ored, who lives on Mr. B. G. Cov ington's place near town, Is a wo man after ex-President Roosevelt'B own heart. Fifteen months ago she gave birth to two twins and Tues day night Improved on this record by becoming the mother of triplets two girls and a boy. The babies are all of good size and are doing well. Wadesboro Messenger. Where Underwood Stand. Chairman Underwood of the ways and means commltte was lnterrupte in his speech against the sugar tax by a Louisiana member, who Inquir ed of Mr. Underwood what he an ticipated would happen to the sug ar Industry of his state if the tax was taken off of sugar. Mr. Under wood stated that In all frankness to the gentleman from Louisiana he did not know what would happen to the sugar Industry of that state, but that he did know that the sug ar production of Louisiana was less than one tenth of the entire sugar consumption In the United States, and ho did not believe In the prin ciple of taxing 92,000,000 people In order that a few sugar producers In ono state might make an unjust profit. It was stated In The Journal last week that. Mr. T. P. Smith had pur chased the residence of Mrs. A. L. Bearing. This Is a mistake. Mrs. Dearlng has not offered her home for sale and has not yet decided when she will do so. A new public road has been op ened from Wlngate to the T. S. Ross place on the Griffin Mill and Marsh vllle road, a distance of four miles. PLACE THE TAX WHERE RIGHT. The Drmorrntlr House Is Seeking to IJghU-n the Itunhns on the People by Making Wenlth Hear Its Share. Is It just that the men who own 90 per cent of the wealth of the United States should shoulder but 10 per rent of the burden of tax ation for running the government? The Democratic House of Repre sentees believes that it is not, and henco the passage of the excise-Income tax bill which levies a tax of I per cent on incomes in excess of J.-..000 a year. This does not mean that all peo ple having more than $5,000 must pay a tax on the excess of that sum. It moans that those who have an annual "Income" or "prof it." of more than $5,000 must pay the 1 per cent on the excess of $5,000. It will be necessa ry for a man to draw a higher sal ary than $5,000 a year, or to have a captalized sum of about $100, ii.'iO before he is called uon to pay 1 per cent tax on that portion in txccFS ol $5,000. This U class legislation, the stand patters And protectionists say. They were never heard to complain, how ever, of the existing class legisla tion which permits the burden of federal taxation to fall entirely on the shoulders of the masses, tax ing tho average man, woman and child in every stlch of clothing they wear and everything else they must have in order to live, while permit ting all forms of wealth to go un taxed. The masses of the people pro duce the wealth, and by legislative advantage a few got possession of It, ahd now these few objects to the transfer of wealth of even the amount of revenue derived from the taxation of sugar, but one of the 600 things on which tariff Is levied. They would prefer that the government continues to tax sugar instead of wealth, because they eat no more sugar than the section hand or the mill worker and there fore under the present system of taxation they are compelled to pay no greater tax to the federal gov ernment than does the poorest man. These facts may read strange, but they are facts, and will not be con tradicted. Tho United States Is practically the only one of the great nations today that raises practically all Its revenue by taxing the people ac cording to their needs and practi cally according to their poverty, and allows wealth to go untaxed, so tar as the raising of money to build battleships, maintain the army, and run tho government are concerned The government now raises $314,- 000,000 annually by placing an Im port duty on tariff on the thlngB the people eat, wear or use. Banks, railroads and steamship lines pay nohtlng to Uncle Sam because they do not come through the customs houses. If a fiscal system which requires a millionaire to pay no more tax to the federal government than the section hand or the mill-worker Is fair and just, there is no need of reform; but if such a system is un just, the excise-income tax is a move In the right direction to rem edy it. School Closing, The school at College Hill, taught by Miss Beulah Hamilton and Mr. Geo. W. Moser, will close Friday, March 29th.

A man by the name of MeCormick who Is an employe of Steel s Mill. at Cordova, 'mior.d county, is suffering from one of the sirnn-jcst things ever known to hauDen. and it is very doubtful that he will ever recover. In all up-to-date cotton mills ma chinery is cleaned off by a "blow pipe, ' which 1 worked exictly like a hose that Is used to throw water. The blow pipe pnmna a!r Instead of water. A long hose is fasiencd to an operating dynamo and at tho other end tho air rushes with tre mendous force through a small met al pipe. This pipe is held by an op erator, who moves it around and over the machinery, which Is thor oughly cleaned by the powerful cur rent of air. Several days ago tho blow pine operator at Steel's Mill was cleaning up the machinery and never think ing of the serious consequences he. in a spirit of mitchief, turned the pipe to the seat of Mr. McCormlck's overalls and turned on the full cur rent of air. Just In a second or two the air forced its way un the victim's body, entering his bowels, and as an eye witness stated, "blew him up like a frog." A doctor was immediately sum moned, who rendered what relief he could which wasn't much. Mr. Mc Cormlck went to FayettevIIlo hos pital but could get but little help, for his bowels are paralyzed and little hope is entertained for his re covery. He is now back at his borne In Cordova. He Is probably fifty years of age and has a family. Three Fine Old Gentlemen. Waxhaw has three old-tlmo South ern gentlemen who are octogenari ans, Mr. Calvin Broom, Cnpt. John Steele and Mr. .Vila Secreat. Each Is in his 82nd year. All their long lives they havo lived near togeth er. When they were boin, Andrew Jackson, whose birthplace was near Waxhaw, was In the White House, and these fine old men have lived through the administration of all the Presidents except the first six. All the great inventions h.ve come in their time the electric lij;ht tak ing the place cf the tallow candle and the Cunard steamer supplanting the Indian dr.g-out. .Many moro years to them. Mr. Harvey McKlnney, who lives in Mill Hill, was taken to tho Mag dalene Hospital at Chester for nn op eration. ,0:i tho 31st cf October he met a painful accent at a sawmill, having his foot sawed nlmont In two. It refused to heal under treat ment and amputation has become a necessity. Wnxhaw Correspondence. Good I load Working. Messrs Sanford Foard and Had ley Helms, two hustling young fel lows of Monroe township, canio Into the Journal office a 'ew days ago to report some fine road working In their neighborhood on tho Secrcst Short Cut road. On the 19th and 20th the people turned out and scraped the road and put In suffi cient work to make It an excellent road. The overseers are Messrs. R. S. Helms and J. F. Williams. Mes srs. General Moser and G o.Helms of Vance township also helped In the work, It being their road to town. The paper wishes to heart ily commend all such work. It is this interest in the subject that will finally give us road Improve ment In the county just as soon as people get together and work sys tematically Instead of by fits and Jumps. Good roads will come along after awhile. Dr. Massry Asks for Aid. The Journal publishes the follow ing card from Dr. J. 8. Massey. a colored physician of Monroe.and recommends him as entirely honor able and trustworthy to all who may desire to aid him In the work he Is undertaking to accomplish: To my white friends cf Monroe and Union county: I wish to state that I am erecting a small saltarlum In tho city of Mon roe, N. C, Containing ten rooms, and two stories. One or two of these will be devoted to charity, therefore I appeal to the generous, onen heart ed and benevolent white friends of Monroe and the county for a dona tion. Any amount given will be re ceived and highly apreelated. Thank ing you in advance for any favors shown, I remain Yours respectfully, DR. J. S, MASSEY. (Continued on page 2.) f
