The Survivors vt a Steamer that Wan hunk ia ClK-KHuke Itay I Hung for Hour in the Rigging ', While the Fkrce Winds IUgeel BO liiwt. An American freight Bteamer. th Julia Luckenbach, was rammed ty - t British steamer and aunk In the Cheaaapeake Bay Friday morning. The ship was rut In two by the im pact and twenty of the twenty-eight on board went down. Those who did not go down took to the rigging cr the ship and there they clung and received the full force of the i terrible wind that was then raging. For Bis hours they thus remained v. !th a wind blowing at cyclonic velocity and waves beating against tt'em, the hardiest ones held fast until their clothing was torn to shreds and they were on the verge1 oi exhaustion. Chief Engineer Knudson was one of those in the rigging. He endured the gale un til his hands were .bleeding from gripping the ropes. He became ex hausted, let go, and went down be fore assistance came. The Danish steamer Pennsylvania, which came to their assistance, ceuld not reach them r.t first be cause of the heavy sea. After many unsuccessful attemp'ls, life lines were run to the struggling ' men and in two hours they were tnken off, one at a time. When taken on board the Pennsylvania some were unconscious and had to be given first aid treatment. According to the survivors, Cnp tUn Gilbert and the first and sec cud officers were standing on the bridge when the collision occurred. There was no opportunity to give Rid to those below. Captain Gil bert made a desperate effort to reach' his wife and when last seen wag swimming for the sinking ship. I don't know how I escaped. Af ter the ship went down I found myself dangling in the rigging and there I stayed. Not a lifeboat was to bo had, so quickly did the Luck enbach go down. I never suffered such tortures in my life. My cloth es were torn to shreds by the high winds and the seas beat me almost Ir.to Insensibility. Too much can not be said in praise of the daring bravery displayed by the officers and crew of the Pennsylvania who rescued us," said First Officer Hunt. Lively Times at ltrlcf.

As to local leg xlatlon, neither 0:10 has made any ITomisi) whatever and. each will fol low his best Judgment on any mat ter that may come up. unentangled by any promises. As to legislation effecting the Stale at large these gentlemen will be found on the pro gressive side generally. Each one thinks there ought to bo a consti tutional convention, each one favors a State-wide primary law, the Aus tralian ballot, an optlonul Torrens lard system of registration, and Im inovcment of the public schools. Fach is Inclined to favor a mild compulsory attendance law, and both favor emphatically aome means to cut down the cost of .school books and to prevent so frequent changes. Could SI. out for Joy.

Van Ness, a promt tent lady of Charlotte, was found e'ead In her bath room Sunday nigh'J Death as caused by gas escaping from a rubber tube connecting with 1 burner. The theory Is that she ; -;d a fainting spell, fell against the tube, dislocating it, and being overcome by the gas before she had time to regain consciousness. When the door was forced open Mrs. Van Ness was lying prostrate on the floor, between a stationary washstand, which was at one end of the room, and the bathtub, which was at the other. Just above the vasbstand and under a mirror one prong of a double gas Jet was burn ing brightly. The other prong was connected by a rubber tube with a .as burner which was on the floor nearby. This tube was detached 1HE LK;iSLATl HE TOMORROW. Many MatU-nt Will Come up itefore the W ncral Asm tiilily, Chief if Which it the JuKtieu of Reve nue. The biennial session of the North Carolina General Assembly will n.cet in the State-House at Raleigh, tomorrow. Jan. 8th. I'nlon's rep resentatives are Messrs John C Sikes and H. L. Price, who have al ready gone to Raleigh. The Senate is composed of 50 members. 47 of which are Demo crats and three Republicans. In the House of Representatives there are 120 members of the following po litical faith; 102 Democrats, 13 Re publicans and five Progressives. There are three candidates for the Speakership, Representatives George W. Connor of Wilson; E. M. Koonce of Onslow and J. Frank Ray of Ma from the heater and was within a foit..n. All have had considerable leg of the face of Mrs. Van Ness, There was a bloodstain on a rough protu berance on the washetand and an abrasion on Mrs. Van Ness' nose. HOW IT HAPPENED. Mrs. Van Ness wore a bath robe 11 nd other garments and hud evi dently gona to tho room to bathe, bad lighted the gas Jet and then bad lighted the heater to warm the room. Near the tub was a chair cm which two towels had been plac ed. When the room was opened It was filled with gas which was still escaping .from the tube. . The blaz? in the heater had of course been extinguished when the gas was cut off. Owing to the proximity of the washstand nnd the tube It was al most Inevitable that after strikln the first Bhe should also full against the second. The tube was old rub ber, fitted loosely to the heater, and was easily detached. Mr. Van Ness and her 6-ycar-old son, James H. Van Ness, Jr., were the only occupants of the house when she entered the bathroom. The child had retired and hence nothing Is accurately known at the time the accident occurred. The lad did not wake up during all the excitement and distress which followedy the un folding of the tragedy, and, being removed early yesterday morning to the home of a friend, has not yet been told of the keen bereavement that has befallen him. Miss Helea Mallory, slater of Mrs. Van Ness, ha gone to Annlston, Ala., to visit rela tives only a few days ago. Death of Mrs. Maynor's Mother.. Mrs. El'i'bo.h McNeeley, mother1 of Mrs. John Maynor, died at her home In Richmond, Va., Dec. 29th. The deceased lived In Monroe In former years and was weel-known here. She was sixty-two years old. Since moving nwny she visited here many times. Mrs. May nor return ed last week from attending the funeral, which took place In Rich mond. She was one of the descendants of tho late William Blount, who was among tho first settlers of Mon 100. Three children survive her, Mrs. Alice Sheaton of Richmond Va., Mr. 15. E. McNcely of N-w York, tiu-ir munielpaltlos Ulatlve experience and the fight promises to be an interesting one. A number of important questions are to be considered by the Legis lature which is of vital moment to the people of the Commonwealth First of all will be the act to raise revenue. As has beeu noted the State has been living beyond its income and some means will have to be provided to combat this. 'Vhether there will be created a spe cial Siate tax commission with au thority to assess property at Its true value or some other method remains to be seen. Other matters to coma up will be, amending the child labor law, in creasing the age limit at which children may now work in the mills from 14 to 16 years and prohibiting the working of women and children In the mills at night. A system of factory Inspection may also be es tablished similar to the laws now on the statute book of South Caro lina. The mill men are divided on the question and it is difficult to hazard a prediction as to the out come of this agitation. The Legislature will be asked to increase the number of Superior Court Judges from 16, the present number to 24, and place solicitors on a salary basil Instead of a fee busts. Another question that will engage the attention of the solons will be to change the law so that the Se cretary of State, Superior Court Judges and county officers can tarts care of private local relief birfc in stead of tcklng up the tlmo of the J.' gl.datuiM with them an Is now iho case. The question of state-wide pii inary is certain to come up at this session and will most likely be adopted although there Is some oppo anion to the measure. The Legislature will also be nsk ed to establish a board of pardons composed probably of the Council of State to take this responsibility from the shoulders of tho Govern or. A number of cities and towns will ask that they be allowed to vot on the question of establishing a commission form of government for and Mrs. John Maynor. She was a consecrated member of tho Pres byterian church. Though having been nway for more than tv;entyflve years, she will bo remembered by many. County l!otnl of Education. The county board of education was unable to hold Its regular meet ing yesterday. The i-linlrmnn, Esq. J ,K. Broom, came, but found that one member, Mr. L. U. Helms, was sick in bed, and that the S'-cretary, Superintendent R- N. Nesbit, was sick at his homo in Wnxhnw. Mr. Broom asks Tho Journal to give no tice that n called meeting will be hold next Monday. Twelve Froe-el Convicts Culled to Thank the Governor. Twelve negroes, who were among the 79 convicts to whom Governor Blease extended clemency on Christ mas eve, called at the Governor's office at Columbia, S. C. and thank ed him for giving them their free dom. Headed by n man who had spent half of his lite In prison, they marched Into the ante room nnd Mood at attention when Governor I .lease entered. With his coat buttoned, the con v'cts' leader saluted In military fashion. He then made n speech. Gov. Blease shook hands with all the negroes and advised them to be good citizens. He told them to ob tain work on faring nnd not to loaf around the towns. The leader gave nnother salute and the little party left. (When th' ten lepers were cleans ed by the Master only one called to thank him. It seems that 67 of the pardoned convicts didn't think It worth while to thank Blease The Slutosvllle Landmark.) While on a hunting expedition near New Berne, J. C. Watklna of Greensboro, got lost In the woods and had to spend the night. To add to his discomfort there was a down pour of rain, he whs unable to mako a fire and the cries of wild animals added to the terrors of the night. After daylight Mr. Watklns reached the home of a farmer and was cared for. The Concord Times says that H. L. Lord, a negro who died In Blue field, W. Va.. a few days ago, worth $100,000, was a native of Cabarrus county. Leaving that county thir teen years ago for Bluefield he bor rowed money to pay his . railroad fare. His mother lives In Cabarrus on a farm purchased for her by her son a few years ago. Two new counties ure clamoring for establishment, ono with High Point, and the other with Dunn as t'r.e county seat. United States Senator F. M. Sim mons, having received a majority of tho votes cast In tho Democratic pri mary at the November election, will he elected for the third tlmo to suc ceed himself at Washington for the full term beginning March 4, 1913 Wesley Eelwurels' Sweetheart MurH eel to Another. Wesley Edwards, member of the Allen clan which shot up llillsville, Va., court laat March, who Is now rervlng a term of 27 years In the Virginia penitentiary for his part in the tragedy, had rather spend his remaining days in prison than to be married to Maud Iroler, his sweet heart, who was suspected of having betrayed him Into the hands of the detectives. Wesley expressed himself to this effect to a prison official nnd, nl tiiough ho did not openly charge the girl with betraying him. he spoke as If he had nbuut reached that conclusion. When told of ths girl's marriage to Kenneth Marsh nt White Plains, N. C, he merely remarked that he did not know Marsh, but his ex pression indicated what he thought of Maud. Ami Hit- Wind Did Blow. The windstorm which rased here from Thursday midnight to Friday night was a fierce proposi tion us It swept the Atlantic roas; from the south to the north. Here the wind must have been travelling nearly fifty miles an hour. In many places the velocity was great er. The blow started on the Gulf and followed the coast. Along the roast, shipping was much disturbed but no great damage wns done. Five V. 8. Battleships were forced to put Into Hampton roads to escape the storm. Ili.shou Kilgo Kill sell a Uncus. BUihep John C. Kllgo, formerly -.'resident of Trinity College, who now resides in Durhcm, preached a sermon there Sunday before last that raised a rucus. He said that the company which supplied water to Durhi m was guilty of a crime In furnishing bad water to the peo ple, and this hurt tho feelings of the water company. His other thrust was at the layman's mission ary movement, which he sild was sending a lot of hoboes (Its secre taries) over the country, who lived at the hotels and ate lco cream on others peoples money. IDAHO'S WOMAN" Jl ItV. Convicted a NiMr for an Avsault With a Ifc aelly V k.u. The first woman Jury In Idaho has signallxcd itself. They tried Mrs. Edward Butts for drawing a weap on on Arthur Kaqua and convicted uer. The trial was most interesting. For the telegrams tell it they -de fied" the Judge. All was moving along as merrily as a well-rehearsid marriage. But tt 11 a. ni. the foreman arising in ler place, raised her head, and toe judge queried: "Well, what Is It madam?" "Please your honor," bc-an the pretty forewoman, "we want you 10 adjourn ccurt till this atterr.ojn We must go home. You see, we that is vost of us have to get din ner ready for our families. The judge smiled. Then he told the forewoman it was Impossible for a Jury to leave the custody of the court. But when a few minutes later, tho jury stood up and be fan to put on their hats, lie had not a word to say. Neither did he make any remarks as tl.ey filed out of the court. At 12: JO ot'lcck the jury was tack and in a few minutes the case was in their hands. Two minutes clasped In the Jury room, and men the verdict was ready. "Guilty," said the forewoman "but we recommend the defendant who Is a neighbor of mine to the mercy of the court. And then the first jury of women in Idaho was discharged. Augusta Chronicle.

The congregation at Trinity churrh In Buford township hud a novel ex perience during their service last Sunday afternoon. They jumped up from their knees of prayer and ran out and arrested a man who was turning loose outside with a shot gun. It Is said that on one occa sion, a Quaker, wlio had been con scripted into the army, refused to fight In the battle till a bullet came along and took off his car, where upon hc declared that If the Lord vould not protect htm, he would take a gun and protect himself. That was somewhat the way It v as with the Trinity people. If no body else would make a rowdy be have while they prayed they eiccid- ed to jump up and go do It them selves, one 111 Stack came up from South Carolina, drinking, with an automatic shot gun In his bug gy. Squire J. C. Luney and others cautioned him that he must b.-have on the church grounds or go off aud he said nobody on earth could arrest him. Afterwards when the congregation was at prayer, he went up ii"ar the building and boomed Lis cannon off a few times. Every body jumped up, not knowing whet lo r he had shot into the house or nou Squire Luney, extrcisins his right and duty as a magistrate, or dered the men to go out and arrest Stack.

Stack turned loose his shot gun on them when ever he caught sight of them, so much so that he said after being caught that he had fired seventy rounds from his automatic shot gun They picked up some arms on the way and doubtless sent along some shots for luck. Finally they over took Stack in South Carolina, and he remarked that he would surren der and come on back as he had no more ammunition. After they had returned with him Squire Laney made out papers in due form, and Mr. Will Rorio brought Stack to Jail He was tried by the Recorder yesterday. I'retildcnt Taft nt His Own Wake.

The President wns tho only speak er at the Republican "reorganiza tion" dinner given at the Waldorf Astoria to more than KlOO Republi cans from nil over the country. lie spoko for more than an hour. His d"fense of his administration was the legislative ri suits it produced; his reply to personal criticism was that he hod been more misunder stood than bbmewcrthy. His attack.-! upon his political opponents oon- tined nlmoiit exclusively to the pro gressives was not bitter but sor rowful. In spite of all the misrepresenta tions, the unrest, the present day desire for change, the President said, he saw In the future a return to the old Ideas of government, the awakening cf the people to nn uil- rlorstanding that social changes mus ho made slowly and with sure steps. lie closd with an uppeal to Kepubli cini W.I10 left the party to return and Join ha:ul3 with the millions who remained faithful.

Nearly thlrteea hun dred people applied for examination 011 the opening day. Many others have asked for con tainers. This Is the best show ing wo have had In any county for quite a while. We are very much gratified at the Interest the Union county people are showing. There are several kinds of worms and other parasites that Infest the human Intestinal tract, causing in digestion, anaemia, loss of appetite, abnormal appetite, loss of weight, headachce, a tired feeling and drawn expression of the fades. If you are poorly nourished, scik without apparent cause; If you do not feel like working or If you can't loam fast at school ilia cause may be In your intestinal tract. Fuise modesty should deter no individual from looking ufter his health In time. An ounce of pre vention Is worth a pound 01 cure. No mother should allow her daugh ter or her child, no father his sou, to stumble by accident upon disease or to gain by accident n knowledge of the mysteries of the human body. False modesty must be eet uside and the truth reckoned with. False modesty and false family pride have concealed liuitiy 11 deadly disease while it preyed upon the I oily and lifo ft the victim undis turbed. Recovering from disease cr keep ing well is a business us well as a moral proposition. We are expeding to have e 01110 health rallies and tome health lec tures for Union county people. We wish to thank the pi-ople for their interest and hearty response. Please note carefully the day In the week we shall be at each place.

The water wagon Is groaning beneath a heavy load, and tho saloon keepers are groaning be cause business is light. New lears resolutions, they say. play the cat and the banjo with the hear beer trade for nbout three weeks. At the end of that time. nccording to the bar tenders, the water wagon hits Its accu.tomed rough places In the road, and the Passengers begin to Jolt off one by ono. But that doesn t alter the fact that the resolutions are hurting the trade for the time being. The cigar dealers are also feeling the effect of the abstinence of those who have forsaken Milady Nicotine for a season, though not to the same extent. They are too consoling them selves with the proverb that the man who has once smoked will smoke again.
