This afternoon at Lbeneier churchyard they will be buried in one grave. The death of Mr. Hicks at 6:50 o'clock was the result of a fall from a wagon a few hours earlier. The death of his wife at 7 resulted from heart failuro caused by the ac cident to her husband. At three o'clock .Mr. II Irks had cut a load of oak wood for the city market, placed It on his one-horse wagon and started toward Charlotte, cceompanied by his son. Cheat ham. Less than 300 yards from the home fcud just north of Mr. John Webber, the accident occurred, which result ed in the tragic ending of two lives. The right standard on the wagon snapped In twain, releasing th pile of wood, a lar& part of which fell to the ground. Mr. HU'ks was un able to retain his place and in full ing struck. Hie singletree und was knocked under the wanon. The heavy vehicle, with the load of wood passed over his body between the shoulder and bis legs, inflicting wounds which he could not survive. Mrs. Hicks suffered a stroke of paralysis during last May, and for the last few days has been unable to leave her bed. Yesterday she was able to be around the house. When the mangled body of her hus band was brought to the home, she fjinted as soon as she viewed the body. Mr. Hicks waa wounded so nrlously that he Regained conscious ness for only a short time. A doc tor was summoned and pronounced the wound received as fatal. He never rallied and Mrs. Hicks was f.lven attention but she died with out regaining consciousness. Mr. Hicks was 52 years of age and his wife was 50. By this union there were born six children, four boys and two girls. The boys were Oscar, Cheatham, Beacher, and Bing ham. Two girls also survive, Flor ence and Lola. .Mr. Hicks was born and raised In iilon -ounty. Mrs. Hkks was born in Goldsboro. Shortly after tholr marriage, 25 years ago, tbey moved to South Carolina where they lived until about four years ago. They moved to Charlotte and licated near tho present home. Last October, Mr, and Mrs. Hicks moved to the Carl haldl place. The funeral services will be con ducted at the home this afternoon nt 3 o'clock. Rev. G. H. While of th a Ebenczor Church will conduct the services. The Interment will take place there. The husband and wife will be buried in the Bame grave . Death of Mr. Paul Huntley. Mr. F.

He was of the Truelight faith and the remains were l-urted at the Huntley-Uulledge burying ground. In the death of Mr. Huntley the county has lost one of lis best cit- liens. One of his neighbors, Mr It. F. Krlmminger. who was In Mon roe when he heard the news of his death, said that the community had lost one of its very best men, that Mr. Huntley was a model farmer, having adopted the most progress five and up-to-date methods, and in all other ways was a valuable man 1HIHTY-XIXE I.K.PLKS H.A1X, Dead Jinn on the Wire. Lumberton, Jan. 10. Arthur Od um, a young white man residing near Moss Neck, about eight mil west or Here on tne Seaboard, was instantly killed this morning by the ladkin rower Company wire. 'Ilia young man is said to have c!imb(d up to the wire and taking held of It was electrocuted Instant ly. Why ho went up to the wire no one see ins to know. All machinery operated by tho Yadkin power here showed that there was trouble some where on the line, but. it was some time before tt was located. A phono message from near the scene cf the accident says no blame Is attached to anyone but the victim. As the power company's transmis sion line was only recently con st! ucted from Rockingham to Lum berton, the first line of the kind in that territory, it is presumed the young man was Ignorant of the great danger of touching the wires HtHrt of the Union County San Itnrv Cuiniiulgii.

Experts saw a lifeboat, asserted to be absolutely safe, tested last week In the Passaic river at New ark, N. J. The craft resembles an egg, the only opening being 20 in ches in diameter. Its sponsors say that the boat cannot sink, even in the wildest sea It can hold 18 or 20 persons and food enough for them for 3 weeks, It Is said. Constructed of galvan ized steel plates, the boat is 14 feet 6 Inches long and 6 feet 9 In ches beam. A small deck on top has a mast for a sail. Cle Brudes, a Norwegian, Invent ed the boat. It is not a new thing, us one boat has been for five years aboard the steamer Bronnlng Maud, plying between New Brunswick and Newark. In a similar craft four men sailed from Halifax to Boston In the winter of 1907. Will Uok Life Into Postmasters J bs. The executive order of Prpsident Taft classifying 36.00(1 fourth class I'Ost masters, which lias been so fre quently assailed by Southern con pressmen. Is to be the subject of a congressional investigation. This was made certain when Chairman Godwin, of the House committee on reform In the civil service, an nounced that his committee at an early dato will take up this order purposing to make a thorough in vestigation and to determine, among other things, "why President Taft, who wns at that time a candidate for re-election, should have consid ered tt necessary a few days prior to his election to give life positions to 36,000 officials then serving un dor his administration without re tard to and consideration for the kishes of the people to be served. In a statement tonight Chairman Godwin said: "The committee on civil service of the House of Representatives will nt an early date take up for con sideration the. executive order of October 15 last, under which Pres ident Taft, with one stroke of the pen, placed 36,000 fourth class post masters under the civil service, thereby giving them positions for life, without requiring any exnmina tion and without any special con sideration ns to their qualifications for the posit Icrni. I do not mean to say that nil the fourth class postmasters affected by this order re Incompetent, out. it is wen known that many are not giving sat l-fnctory service to th? people. It will be the purpose of our commit tee to go Into tho whole matter and make a thorough investigation be tween now and the fourth of .March so the Incoming administration will have information on the subject. Driven Into Pit and .x.t by Order if Authorities of liiintM- Prov ince. Shanghl. Jan. 10. Thirty - nine I'-pers recently were put to death in an atrocious manner by order of the provincial authorities of Nan king, provinces of Kwang-SI. The fcufferers were shot and their bodies were burned in a huge trench. These advices were received here today in letters from the Catholic mission at Nanking dated December 14. They said the lepers lived In the woods a few miles outside of Nanking. The mission sought per mission to build at Its own expense a lazaretto for them and the provin cial authorities, pretending to can sent, dug a pit in which was placed wood soaked with kerosene.

Unless Adrianople falls within two or three days, or "something should turn up." which none of the dip lomats can forsee, It appears prob- SDIo the delegates will leave Eng land In another week. The Allies lire also tired of wait leg.

The authorities offer- ed rewards for the discovery of oth er lepers and this resulted In the shooting of one more man afflicted v- ith the desase. The governor after the massacre, hbued a proclamation in which he accused tho lepers of having com mitted outrages. The letters from the mission say there Is no foundation for this caarge. Offle-e-r of the Ix-gfiKlul urc. When the Legislature met last Wednesday, Mr. George W. Connor, of Wilson, son of Judge Connor, was elected speaker of the House. The Republicans put R. L.

The production of cotton per acre during 1912, while lower than 1911, was more than 13 pounds greater than the average for the previous five years, the Department of Agri culture's preliminary estimate an nounces. Tho acreage production In 1912 was 193.2 pounds against 2U7.7 pounds In 1911, and 180.1 pounds, lie five-year average. In Alis.ds- slppl, Lousisiana, Texas, Oklahoma mid California, the production pr acre was greater than In 1911, while n Arkansas it equalled the 191 production. In other States it was ower. The highest acreage production was in California with 430 pounds, North Carolina produced 271 pounds Missouri 267, Virginia 266, South arollna 219, Texas 206, Loulsian 97. Arkansas 190, Oklahoma 1S-1 Mississippi 177, Alabama 173. Ten nessce 171, Georgia 163, Florid; 19. All States except Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee and llssourl exceeded the five-year av- rage acreage production. due notice to Kurope, they have no tified Sir Edward Grey and the Am bassadors of their Intention to de nounce the armistice contemporan eously with, or shortly after the presentation of the note to the Porte. The Allies will be ready to re sume the war four days later. In fact, it Is remarked that Greece has never ceased hostilities; that St-r-via has nothing more to conquer, vhile with respect to Montenegro, the armistice has never been observ ed by Turkey, whose soldiers hae made frequent sortleB from Scutari. Therefore the resumption of hostili ties really concern only the Thra cean field of operations, where the activities of the Allies seems to be limited to the conquest cf Adrian ople. The Balkan millitary experts here think that, under the presout condition, Adrianople can bo taken in a few days at the sacrifice of 5, ('00 men. The Greeks are more de termined than ever to hold the Ae gean Islands, as well as Suloniki. regarding Salonlkl, they say: "War gave It to us and only war can take it away." All the respon sibility for the gravity of the situ ation Is placed by the Allies on Eu rope, which, they say, after having encouraged them to conclude an armistice and come to London even holding contemporaneously a confer ence of the Ambassadors to facilli tate matters finds itself Impotent, because of lack of accord, to adopt measures compelling Turkey to obey Its will.

Char- lie Jones, manager of the McCargo Jones woodworking plant at Mt Airy, lies between life and death as the result of a fall Into the shal- ow well of intensely hot water. Water from the boiler of the plant and a steam pipe empty Into a hole, the water In It Is about four feet deep. Accidentally Mr. Jones fell nto the water as he was crossing tho hole, scalding his body nearly to the shoulders. Affidavits that William Rockefel ler has "gouty inflammation of the larynx and windpipe" have boon rec orded with tho money trust Inves tigating committee of tho House cf Congress, which has been endeav oring to secure the attendance cf Rockefeller as a witness before the committee. The committee will have Mr. Rockefeller examined by specialist of Its own choosing. Rockefeller Is la Nassau. A dispatch from Berlin says the eating of dog meat throughout the German Empire Is rapidly Increas lug. Although this Increase is due in a great measure to the high cost of living It seems that in Saxony the poorest people have acquired tint taste for "man's most faithful friend." This State leuds all oth ers li. Germany In this respect. At Chemnitz there are numerous restau rants where only dog meat Is sold and Is Is indicated as dog meat on thii menu. In this section also there Is a superstition that the fat of the dog has something to do with I'll i.ion;uy tuberculosis. Mr. nnd Mrs. J. P. Taylor, parents cf Milton Taylor, who was killed lutit July while leading a degree team in Initiating Furmnn Bagwell Into the mysteries of the Woodmen of the World at Benson. S.

He ran In the an te-room, secured his pistol and fir ed several times on Taylor, who was leading the Initiation. Taylor died next day from tho wounds. Ten Lies. Here are ten lies which are often heard, according to the amiable Arthur Aull, of Lamnr: Yes, we re out, but we have Just ordered a lot of It. I didn't care anything for the money. It was the principle of the thing. I'd Just like to have been In his place. I'd have showed them. If I had that woman for a while I'd teach her a few things. If I'd catch a kid of mine at any thing like that, I'd blister him. I never would care to be rich, Just comfortably fixed. My wife and I have never ex changed a cross word. If you don't think Its a good thing for you I don't want you to do it I've never seen such weather be fore. Kansas City Star. A ViHcran from Away Buck. Charlotte Observer. January 24th will be the 100th birthday of Mr. Harvey Garrison of Mallard Creek township, 10 miles from Charlotte, and Mecklenburg Camp, United Confederate Veterans, will celebrate that happy day with him at his home. Mr. Garrison who is the oldest man In the coun ty, did not bear arms in the Civil War but he had six Rons who did so valiantly, and one met death at Gettysburg. It is doubtful if there Is another person living who can say that he gave b!x sons to the service of the South, or even to the North, in the great struggle of half a century ago. The members of the ramp will go to his home In the morning at 10 and will spend the day taking lunches with them.

County Supt. A. G. RANDOLPH, Sec. Teach ers' Association. The lilindm-M ,f Mr. Taft. (By Clyde M. Tavenner, Congress man Elect. I Washington, Jan. 11. President Taft in his New York "reorganiza tion" speech, declared in fine sar casm that those dissatisfied with his administration demanded "an ideal state in which the poor and oppressed aro to acquire property and cease suffering." This and similar statements of the President, indicate why hlj ad ministration was unpopular. He was prejudiced against any kind of reform. His is the same view that Is held by Morgan, and Rockefel ler, and the other money kings who havo made their millions as a result cf federal laws which gave them monopolies of American markets with power to charge the people for trust products any price that their gred dictated. Morgan ami Rockefell-r also be lieve that all who are not sit i fied with the old conditions the l.rlbery of United Sta'es Senators bv the oil trust, the failuie to s lid Mii!ty trust magnates to jail ns the poor are sent to Jail when they vio late the law, the Infamous Payne- Aldrlch tariff laws which penult the Wg industrial combinations to be ever boosting prie-.-s and Increasing the cost of living Morgan and Rockefeller and Taft believe that all who complain of these things ex- l'cet und demand "an Ideal s'ate la which the poor and oppressed are to acquire property and cease suffering." This is not true. It is ridiculous to assert that because 'the people demand tariff revision to reduce the cost of living, that they expect or demand "an Ideal state." In asking for an income tax which will compel the rich to bear fair proportion uf the burden of '.axation, which they aro not now-doing; la lequesting the election of Uni ted States Senators by the direct vote of the people, to prevent their election by bribery: In demanding enforcement of the criminal provision of the Sherman anti-trust law, which Is not now being enforced by an attorney gen eral who was formerly a sugar trust lawyer: In desiring legislation, safe guarding legitimate business from the public evils of stock-gambling: In expecting effective regulation of child labor, an employer's liabil ity law and protection of women wage-earners: In demanding and expecting thea" things the public Is not, as Presi dent Taft says, and as Morgan and Rockefeller pretend to believe, ei ther demanding or expecting "an ideal state in which the poor and tppressed are to acquire property!" The people are simply asking for a square deal at the hands of those "public servants" they have s.'nt to Washington to represent them. THE LAW ntOPOSKJ). Murderer Takes the Train Rout. Gibson, Jan. 11. John Williams. colored, this morning shot and kill ed his wife and later committed sui cide by throwing himself In front of a moving freight train. The cou ple were heard quarreling at hone about daylight and soon a pisiol sl'ot was heard and an Invent Igat ion reveuled the dead body of the wo- mail lying on the floor. Help was called for, but the man made good his escape nnd was not seen any more until the nrrival of the morning freight from Hamlet, about 8 o'clock. As It reached the yeard limits Williams was seen to come running toward the track, and as the cars approached he Jumped Into the middle of tho track, turn ed his back to the approaching train and was instantly torn to pieces. The couple came here during the early fall from Wudcsboro. Jeal ousy is said to have boon the cause of the whole affair.

The Carolina Municipal Associa tion, In session nt High Point last wek, discussed municipal govern ment and a more equitable division ot taxes between towns and coun ties. The Legislative committee re ported that bills to bring about cer tain reforms had been defeated in the last Legislature. The work of tho committed was commended and the committee was continued.

A physician dressed Edwards' wounds but he died of lockjaw. lYotUionN of Compulsory AUemlance Hill Already lulrodurrti ia tit I gisluture. The subject of "Compulsory Edu cation," which has been one of agi tation in North Carolina for some lime, has already been placed on the program of legislation, by the In troduction in the lower branch of the General Assembly Saturday of a bill to provide compulsory atten dance of children between the ages cf seven and twelve years ia the public schools, and to appoint edu cational Inspectors for lue eulorce ment thereof." Representative D. P. Dellinger, of Gaston, is the author of the bill, and he declares it is so drawn that It cannot possibly conflict with the I. .t rests of any person except the parent who simply prefers that bis children be denied the advantages of an education. The principal pro visions of the bill are: That nil children between the ages aof seven and twelve years shall be required to attend the pub lic schools eif North Carolina for the term provided, or the equivalent' thereof in seme other school. That any parent or guanlian wil fully failing or refusing to send bis or lieT children, or wards, to school, as provided, shall b deenud guil ty of a misdemeour und fined not e-xe-teelpg fifty dollars or Imprison ed not exceeding thirty days. That the county superintendent of schools of each county is constitut ed an educational inspector for the purpose of enforcing this act; and it shall be his duty to m:ik all nec essary Inspections i:i pe.-.scsi i.r oth erwise nnd require re gul.T, specific reports by the local school commit teemen, and teachers in etuii school district, having the attendance and non attendance of each and every child between the agas of s-'.ven and twelve years, and If any are not In attendance, the reason assigned by the parent or guardian for such failure or neglect. He Is given authority and It shall be his duty to demand and receive access to the pay-rolls of any and all manu facturing establishments for the purpose of verifying any reports made to him, and the superintend ents or officers of such factories are required to assist in checking Hnd verifying such reports by their pay-rolls. Such Inspector shall prosecute, or require it to be done, In the court of a Justice of the peace. Any parent, guardian, teach- . er, officer of any factory, or oth er person, wilfully violating the provisions of this act and upon con viction each offender shall be fined not exceeding fifty dollars or im prisoned not exceeding thirty days. It is provided, however that no action shall lie where children are In any way providentially hindered from attending school, or where from geographical location, insuffi cient school room or equipment pro vided, physical or mental lutir- mjiles, it shall be impracticable or useless for them to attend. That r.ny educational Inspector wilfully failing or refusing to per .form his duties as provided shall be deemed to be guilty of a misde'.netiii or und punished by a fine not ex ceeding fifty dollars or imprlsjmd not exceeding thirty days.

Archibald, of the Com merce Court, was found guil'y to day by the Senate sitting as a court of impeachment of having misused his office und power as a jui-e for his personal gain. The penalty is removal from his high office. Archibald was convicted on the first count of the 13 ch:irrs the House of Representatives brought against him.
