The newspaper men of the State have fought shy of this phase, of the Ashevllle Investigation. So far as we have observed the Chronicle Is the only paper thnt has Joined The Landmark In expressing the opinion that Alexander owes it to Gov. Craig to resign from the Governor's staff. Indeed llttlo men tion has been made of the fact that Alexander Is a member of the Gov ernor's stafr. Hut as The Landmark sees it, the Incident is a near State scandal.

We believe that none are clean er of prohibition law violaters than is our good town of Carthage. All About the City i f Stouts. Correspondence of The Journal. Stouts is a little ullage. It Is situated on the Carolina Central Railroad about seven miles from the nice little town of Monroe. The first commercial business ever oper ated at Stouts was that of Mr. Jas. Smith. It was a little grocery store. The next was Mr. Pattlson Hous ton's. It was a general grocery and dry goods store. Mr. J. W. Haywood began busi ness about this time. He was fol lowed by numerous other firms, Messrs. Madison Henderson, Heath Williamson, and M. D. Gurley. Heath & Williamson's store was burned down. The next, business men were Messrs. J. T. l'olk. Price & Hemby Company, D. It. Yandles, J. H. Ben ton. J. W. Haywood fc Son, llargett and Vandle, J. E. Haywood, J. T. Hargette and others. The business men of to-day, are Mssrs. F. W. Hays and Hargette & Conder. All the business at Stouts has been done on a small scale. The pOitoffice was established about 1S75. Mr. Madison Harkey was tha first postmaster. He was followed by Mr. A. 1. House. The next and last is Mr. M. D. Gurley. In 1904 the firm of W. W. Phl fer erected a br(ck plant. The firm was later changed to W. W. Phtfer & Bro. They have been do ing an extensive business. Stouts 1b noted for many things, Its smallest and greatest rord wood trade. The people haul many cross ties. It has one church tn the Incor porate limits, Jlelhel Methodist Epls copal. It has oae school house, Ked Banks; The city school committeemen are preparing to do some great work They are going to patch one side of the town with brick bats. The town has been doing some rapid improve ment for a few days. There has been a partition put In the school house. Although we haven't such a fine school house, we have two of talon counties best teachers, Mr U. W. Lemmond and Miss Annie Yandle. There are seven residential houses in the vllliitge, one grand Seaboard depot, which Is swept out annually by the wind and rain. The first depot was turned over by small boys who wanted something to shoot it with a twenty-two rifle. The most and greatest excitement that ever prevailed over Stouts was u "special school tax election." More cigars were si.ld that day than was ever known before. The worst fault that was ever found with thl village Is when visitors come to Stouts they are continually falling on our brick bats. The people of our town lire bad to discuss railroad anil steamboat Oc cidents, but are afraid to say any thing about the situation in Mexico, because, some Mexican might conic along and whip the whole town. An old man was heard to exclaim that Stouts was a pretty sorry place. Stouts was nt (.tip time a bad place and it is bad, to think of the world thirty-five years ago and the world of today. But the world is becom ing more civilized, mure churches are being built and, more, school houses are built. The word "Stouts' has caused much frivolity but wc have one of the best schools In Union county. If all the eggs that were evtr sold were In one bunch. the price of eggs In New York would drop from seventy-five cents a doz en to twelve tents. Stouts Is noted for Its drummers as well ns Its loafers. They come and go In pairs, and nil kinds of patent medicine, men. The Utile U'lingo was nt one time turned Into a goat farm and as I have said he- fore, we have made some rapid Improvements. The most beautiful scenery Is to look up and down the railroad. So we will stop and give linkers chance to talk. J. n. II. Death of First Womun lawyer. Miss Phoebe Cousons, who was the first woman lawyer In the Unit ed States, the first woman to hold the office of United Stales marshal and the first woman to be graduat ed from Washington university, was buried In St. Louis Monday.

For many years the late C. W. Bruner and the late John C. Bates had a standing conspiracy. But it was not what the Sherman luw calls a conspiracy In restrnnt of trade. It was a deep laid conspiracy between these two to make glad the heart of many people In Monroe each Christmas. Mr. Bruner's ' wagon never failed to stop at the doors of many and leave baskets and pack ages of good things. And Air. Bates had a standing order with Mr. Bruner to send numbers of Christinas turkeys. And these two kind hearted and thoughtful men are gone, and the growth or the town makes it necessary that such service can no longer be left to private parties, hence the United Chimtles Asiocintion has been form ed. This gives nn opportunity to every one to contribute something, however much or little, to the good cause. Kvery one should, coninuuie something and It will be put where It will do the most good and bring happiness.
