Glyun, Lieutenant Gov ernor, was sworn In as his succes sor, the first In the history c.f the Slate to step into Its highest of fice tn this manner. The verdict of the court was that Sulznr was guilty of falsification, porjury and an attempt to suppress evidence attaints him. Of all other charges he was acquitted, the court today unanimously voting him net guilty of the four remaining articles of the impeachment. NOT DISQUALIFIED. By a virtually unanimous vole also, the Impeachment tribunal de cided that Suiter should not be punished by disqualification to hold office of honor and trust In this State in the future. This would have been the extreme penalty under the law. The oustde executive was served with a copy of the court's verdict t the executive mansion christen ed by himself "The People's House' a few minutes before six o'clock tonight. Mr. Sulzer, private citizen, will leave the capital probably on Sun day where he will go he has not disclosed. The Incoming Governor Issued a statement In which he said his en deavor would be "to give the peo ple of the State an honest, peace ful, progressive and wise conduct of public affairs." The outgt.'.ng executive Issued a statement In which he denounced the tribunal which h:ul removed him n "Murphy's high court of infa my." rONTKOLLKD BY MURPHY. "Murphy controlled the assembly and ordered the Impeachment," he said. "He controlled most of the members cf the court and dictated procedure and wrote the Judgment. He was the judge and the jury; the prosecutor and the bailiff." "A horse thief in frontier days." he said, "would have received sqaarer deal." He characterized the secret ses sions of the court as "star cham ber proceedings, where the enemies if the State could work for my con viction undiscovered." He asserted he had not taken the stand In his own defense because he realized that his story attacking the Tanunany leader would be ruled out. He entered a general denial of all the charges In the Impeachment ar ticles. At today's session of the court, which lasted little more than an hour, most of the members recorded their votes without explanation. Presiding Judge t'ullen, who voted "not guilty" on every article of Impeachment, stuck to his convlc lions to the Inst. He asked to be excused from voting on the remov al or disqualification of the Govern or, on the vote for disqualification EARLIEST KNOW IX THE SOUTH.

STRAIGHT TALK TO MEXICO. is Fiirmer Killed For His Money. Mr. Culler Powell, a prominent firmer of Warsaw, Duplin county. was found dead on the county road Sunday. Ily the side of the dead man was found' a stick about three feet long, wk'h which it is supposed he was murdered, lie had n scar on his head and cheek which leave evi dence that he was dealt a dpadly blow from behlrd. The object of the murder was doubtless for the purpose of robbery, lis Mr. Powell left Warsaw with a large sum of money on his person. Two suspects, white men. are under arrest. Mr;re than 400 Welsh miners per ished, it Is believed, in the Univer sal Colliery near Cardiff. Wales, Tuesday. A terrific explosion shat tered the works shortly after 931 men had descended ii to the pit. It was at first stated that the day shift was composed of 740 men but later the larger figure was nlvcn out by the officials. About 500 were brought to the sqrftico iille by resell,- part I. up tf noon and the man ngv'is of the mine then exprcsod the opinion thai there was no further hope for those remalrlng below.

On Saturday, November 1, the Farmers' Union of this county expected to commit Itself to the pol ley of pooling all the cotton of Its ii.cmbers and offering It for sale to the highest bidder. It Is believed by the advocates of this plan that better prices can be secured and that the spinners who it Is alleged use Charlotte as a club to bat down the prices In other places by comparison, will be smok ed out. This policy is the reverse of that which was proposed, by the Char lotte Merchants' Association which considered placing a buyer on the local market to stimulate competi tion. The pooling idea was propos ed by Mr. Watt, a prominent farmer, and It Is proposed to render this practical by bucking it with an or ganization. Ten thousand blanks have been sent out to the union members in the the county asking them to specify number of bales they have and the minimum price they will except. The blanks muke provision for the legal transfer of the cotton, full power to dispose of it being conferred on the agent. With detailed information as to the amount of cotton availa ble, the agent will get in touch with the most extensive buyers. An en tire lot of perhaps 5.0H0 bales In this county will be sold to the high est bidder, provided his price Is above the minimum fixed by the owners. Mr. W. C. Crosby, general iiseiit for the Mecklenburg Union, wlil doubtless be given this responsible commission if ho w ill excrpt it. Since the blanks are drawn In legal form the agent will be able to speak with absolute assurance in slating the number of bales over which lie has control. The cotton pooling plan is an ex tension of the co-operative idea which Ls finding much favor among farmers. It Is evident at a glance that If the individuals acquiesce heartily In its provisions thU move ment will prove one of the most Im portant ever launched by North Car olina agriculturists.

The United States government, has Informed Provisional President Hu erta that It looked, with abhorrence and amazement upon his assumption of both executive and legislative power in Mexico and. In view of his course, could not regard as con slituMonal the elections planned for October 26th. Two notes, one strongly phrased and written by Secretary Dry an. In quiring about the safety of Impris oned members of the Mexican Con gress, and the other drawn In force ful language by President Wilson himself, are said to constitute prac tically the last efforts of the Wash ington government to deal with the Huerta authorities by diplomatic means unless there is a decided change of spirit on the part of the officials In Mexico City. The negotiations through John Lind had reached the point where the State Department had construed the annuoncemcnt of Frederico Gam boa's candidacy for the presidency as meaning the elimination of Huer ta and where It confidently was hop ed that a fair and free election would be held October i'tith. Now. however. President Wilson has made it clear that the Washington gov ernment had with the events of the last few days the imprisonment of the deputies and the establishment of a dictatorship by Huerta lost all hope of seeing a constitutional elec tion held by the Huerta reglnme. The steps taken by the United States were formally communicated to all foreign governments. No fur ther negotiations were planned through diplomatic channels nnd it would not be surprising if John Lind, who has been waiting at Vera Cruz to observe the manner In which the Huerta officials carried out their promises, should return to the United States. GERMAN 1IALLOOX DISASTER. Mail.tt In Concerned With Ginning KcMiii. New Orleans, Oot. 19. The cot ton market this week will be more or less concerned with the pending report on ginning by the Census Bu reau. This report will be Issued Saturday morning and will carry the crop down to last Friday. Coming at the end of the week, as It does. It will serve to Inteslfy the usual week-end conditions. If it is strong enough It may move prices sharply During the week there is likely to be considerable liquidation of both accounts in preparation for it. The weather situation In the belt is now In the critical stage of the last part of the season. Frosts may come at any time ana trosts, or eouroe, make the end of the grow Ing season. Thug far the fall has been mild but conservative brokers are warning their clients to be pre pared for decided changes in the weather. Some of the buying by bullish interests last week was undoubtedly due to the belief that cold weather would be experienced over a part, nt least, of the belt this coming week. The weather will be as Important a factor this week as it has been at uny time this season. In spot circles It is being claim ed, by those who are bullishly in clined that October spat, commit ments are nltogethtr larger than thrt majority of people have antlclpa tod. Toward the end of the last week the decided improvement in the spot demand considered very significant by the bulls and their contention is that the spot inquiry this week will be equa.lly as good because those who are short of cot ton for end of October shipment are becoming nervous at the advancing prices and will engage In a scram ble to get what they want. Exports and mill takings will be closely scrutinized tlila week because students of statistics are pointing out that they are on too large oa sis, compared with crop prospects. For the purpose of showing the res ide! ts of England Just what North Carolina Is dt.lng In truck farming, the Southern Railway Company, thn.ugh Its land nnd Industrial de partment, will send the truck farm exhibit of the Baltimore estate, which was on exhibition at the Weston North Carolina Fair nt Asheville last week, to London. At I-aCrcss, Wis., Miss Harriet BaMey and Henry Dickerson, with their attendants and friends went be fore the Rev. D. C. Jones, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, and the marriage ceremony was about to begin. As a matter of routine the minister glanced nt the wedding li cense. He discovert u mat uotn ot the parties named In it had be?n di vorced and he refused to marry the pair. Tears of the bride and argu ments of the bridegroom were un availing and they had to look else where for some one to officiate. Twenty - Seven Officer and .Men Uurnert to lk-ath by Explosion of Huge War Ilalhmn. Berlin, Oct. 17. The entire Ger man Admiralty Trial Hoard of seven and 20 other military men were kill ed today by the explosion in midair of the largest and newest of the Zeppelin war airships, the "L-II upon which the party was making a trial flight. Only one person on board escaped. The disaster occurred just above the main street of Johannisthal. The shattered hulk of the 500 foot air ship, a mass of blazing canvass and crumpled aluminum, dropped S00 feet into the public highway. Hun dreds of people who had been watch ing the flight rushed to the scene. There was nothing to be done ex cept to take out the bodies of the victims from the wreckage. THE ONLY SURVIVOR. Lieutenant Von Bluel, of the Queen Agusta Grenadier Guards, who was making the trip as a guest was the only survivor of the wreck He was badly injured. Many of the bodies were so burn ed and mangled as to be unrecog nlzable. The Admiralty Trial Board con s'sted of seven officers including Lieutenant Commander Benisch and Senior Lieutenant Freyer, of the German Naval Flying Corps. The airship's pilot was Captain Gluth, a veteran steersman in the employ of Count Zeppelin. Naval Constructors Neumann and Pletzler and Naval Engineer Busch were among the victims. Spectators who had been watch ing the impressive maneuvers cf the "L-II" saw the gas bag sudden ly burst into a glaring flame and then fall. A second later the re- verberatnig sound of the explosion reached them. It was impossible for some time to approach the flaming dirigible, beneath which the membres of the crew had been crushed and burned FEELING OF CONSTERNATION. Coming so shortly afttr the de struction of the "L-I" in a hurri cane In the North Sea September 9. when 15 were killed, today's disas ter gave rise to a feeling of con sternation In Berlin. The dirigible before leaving the balloon hall at Johannisthal, took on board her reg ular reral crew and n number or of ficers. She headed for Berlin, t short distance away. In n light wind Everything was apparently in good order on the airship, sue was grau ually getting up speed when sudden ly an explosion was heard by those on the ground, evidently in one of the motors In the center of the gon dolas. Every inch of the canvass covering and the balloonets disap neared in a moment. A second and more violent explo sion was then heard, the fire hav Ing reached the gasoline tunks fill ed with ubout a ton of liquid fuel. llefore the echoes of the explosion had died down the wreck of the most modern of Germany's dirigi bles lav a flaming mass on the ground. Huggins-IIow ie. Rev. Thomas J. Huggins and Miss Amelia Bright Howie were married Wednesday afternoon ut 4 o'clock at the residence of the bride s parents Mr. and Mrs. A. M..

Moos, formerly a rural mail carrier at Mt. Gilead. on Tuesday sold a horse and buggy to Mr. R. C. Griffin. He stated that he had used the horse and buggy In carrying the mall and had no further use for them, and explained that he had come to Monroe because no one at Mt. Gilead wanted to buy, and he had to come half way to Monroe to se-e a man anyway, and thought that he would come on here and try ' make a sale. The buggy was old and the horse thin, and seined to bear out his statements. Mr. Grif fin had no suspicion but that the facts, were just as indicated, espe cially as he knew that Moose had been a mail carrier at Mt. Gilead. He paid lit) for the outfit, and Moose left with the money and has not been heard from since. But Mr. Griffin soon got news about the turnout he had bought. He found that Moose hail hired It from Reid's stable in Charlotte and staled that he would be gone two days, as he was a contractor in Charlotte and wished to make a trip in the coun try to buy lumber. When he did not return the Charlotte people be gan to make inquiry und found the horse. Of course Mr. Griffin turn ed ll over without objection and lost the money. However, he has offer ed a reward for the arrest of Moose .Moose is reported to have come from a good family but has been acting in the role of the black sheep. Later. Chief Laney has succeed ed in having Moose urrested in Atlanta and officer Fowler has gone for him. He is reported lo have tried to commit suicide, and had. ev idently been drinking when In Mon roe.

As .1 result, doubtless, of the re cent antl - Catholic agitation In Charlotte, a Catholic paper, publish ed In the Interest cf the Knights of Columbus, has appeared there. It Is edited by Warren Vines Hall. High Title ut Gettysburg. The spirit of the gathering at Bull Run. where veteraj: of the North antl South joined in friendly talk of the great days of half a century old. Is becoming wellnigh universal in the country. Occasionally a cur mudgeonly Senator who has 110 c ' sniellee1 powdor outrages the whole couiiiry by his biitifness ard un fairness: but such outbursts have dwindled into liislnliicante. More and more the country ts coining to feel the plain truth of the fact thai the valor of both sides In Hie Civil War Is the equal heritage. So there was general Interest la the Senate the other day when Sena tor Martin of Virginia and Senator Dixon of Montana engaged in a friendly tlebate upon old controversy of the regiments engaged in Pick ett's chnrge at Gntysburg, perhaps the most brilliant charge in all mili tary history. There U abundant nsi son why every American should bt concerned, In its fads. Senator Dixon is a North Carolinian by birth, and desire was to make it plain thill regiments from his native State h;id taken 11 prominent place in Of charge. The histories, he observed, c mini only spoke of "Picket's Virgin ians." It Is true that Pickett's di vision was composed etuirtly of Vir ginian troops, but Pickett command ed only the right wing; and in the assaulting column were also fifteen regiments of North Carolina troops. Such was the point contended for by Senator Dixon. Of the terrible losses suffered in that charge, Senator Dixon thus spoke: I want to take no credit from any man. The Mrglnlan under Picke't did more than mortal men could ex peeled to do; but the world should know, that the majority of the m-ui who went up Cemelcry Ridge on the afternoon of July :i. 1 S 6 .", , In th face of that murderous fire of shut and shell from Meud-.-'s intrenched llae of infantry ami artillery, wet; North Carolinians, and they bore the brunt of that historic assaa.t.
