Interest in politics this yea.- U eon tering u;on the race for tho nomina tion for sheriff, with the hide Ishpc-h, like the county commissioner.'! nt'd legislators, paling Into Insignificance In rompniisoii. So far only one in.1 n, Major W. C. Heath, Is prominently mentioned lor the legislature, and i.o one, besides t.ie present members, f j. commissioner. Five candidates ere out for sheriff and I lute is a strong likelihood of this nu:.iber being augmented by two more a:irau:. Those whose hats are now in the ring are Messrs. Raymond Grlllni, Frank Benton, Russell Rog ers, Clifford Fowlv and J. N. Price. The three present members of the board of county commissioners are said to have performed their duties so well that there is general satis faction with them. They have coin bined the happy faculty of being pro gressive with conservatism; and, ob servers say, they have championed no measure that did not meet with uni versal approval. The future holds many possibili ties, however. The primary is yet sixty days off, and before it is held there may be a number of candidates for all of the offices. Marshville. March 25. Mrs. Jane Wallace of Mecklenburg county is the guest of her daughter, Mrs. W Davis. Mr. and Mrs. Spofford Bailey hav purchased the Gibson bouse and hav moved into it.

They are coming to depend more and more on the local stores to supply their wants, and the mer chants are playing up well on their part. The difference in prices likely has quite a bit to do in draw lug the out of town trade even all the roads leading to Marshville are being left in a rather bad condi lion. Mrs. Ti. L.

William Pendleton. Gaines, of The Austin (Texas) Statesman, who became kpown from one end of tne Lone Star state to another through victory achieved over Ben Thompson notorious bandit, died at his home at Austin, Texas, Thursday of heart disease. In the days when Austin was only a young city and bandit raids were so numerous that the local authorities were, unable to cope with them, Col onel Gaines, through the columns of his newspaper, attacked the city of ficials for their Ineffectiveness. The editorials were answered by Thompson himself. After having warned Colonel Gaines that he in tended to kill him and blow up his plant, the bandit, accompanied by his followers, stalked Into the office on the day specified and found the colo nel waiting for him unarmed. At this display of nerve Thompson slipped bis pistol bark Into its hoi ster. and afier chatting with the e:litor, shook hands and parted with this tribute: "You're the bravest man I ever met." After that Austin was no longer troubled by bandits. Colonel Gaines was born In Rich mond, Texas, In 1852. Brooks May Hun For Senate. Should Delaware refuse to ratify the suffrage amendment, Mr. A.

Concerning some of the schemes, a recent issue of The ew lork Times says: Traffic in liquor, made illicit by the Volstead act, which was passed by coiigreM to enrorce the Eighteenth Amendment 0 (he Constitution, has turnisned a new field for sharpers -Vow, as never before, the purchaser or lorouiden liquids must bear uuna the old legal precept, "Let the buyer beware." Already amusing talea of how purchasers of liquor have been defrauded have come to tne revenue officers. In most cases the victim, being not legally blame lees, has pocketed his loss without iortuai complaint. One of these stories, now being cir culated In circles in which the supply or oeverages is not ye exhausted concerns a New York man who bought what he believed to be a bar rel of whiskey no small Invest ment In ihese days of high prices ueing a man of business experience, he insisted upon tasting the liquor oetore paying for it. The barrel was tapped and the small amount drawn off was found to be of fine quality. The purchaser saw the barrel load ed on a a truck and started for his home. whre it arrived safely. He felt greatly pleased with his bargain after he had filled a decanter and found )he quality of the whisker even better than he had supposed at the time of Ms test After the decanter had been filled and emptied for the second time, the purchaser went again to his cellar for a fresh supply. A thin Btream dribbled out of the spigot and then stopped. The purchaser tipped the barrel and then tapped It. Each tettt Indicated that was it full, or nearly so. Thinking that the spigot had been blocked, the purchaser tip ped the barrel over. When he pulled the faucet out to clean It, he discovered that the whiskey he had been drinking had been contained in a rubber bag holding about two quarts, which was connected with the spigot, and that the rest of the bar rel Baa been filled with water for which he had paid about thirty dol lars a gallon. Almost equally harrowing was the experience of a wealthy resident of Long Island who had the forethought and the money to put three barrels of whiskey in bis cellar before the prohibiton amendment became an ac complished fact. A revenue officer called one day and, conscious of his rights under the law, the owner of the whiskey replied with airiness to the revenue officers statement that he understood that he had whiskey in his cellar. "If I have any whiskey. It is my own business and not the Govern ment's." said the owner. "This is my home and you have no right to question me about a matter entirely outside your Jurisdiction." The revenue officer made It clear that he did not wish to seize the whiskey but merely to see It, and fol lowed the owner, somewhat mystified bv this tlme to the cellar. There the revenue officer took a small ham mer from his pocket and tapped the nearest barrel. The hollow sound In dicated that lt was devoid of con tents. A tao on the second barn showed that It too was empty. A tap on the head of the third showed that there was a little liquid inside but not much "What has happened?" asked the man who had thought he had a good supply of liquor. Your butler has stolen It." was the reply. "He had been selling whis key for nearly a month before we caught him at It. He was placed tin der arrest not more than an nour ago. The scene of a third whiskey inci dent shifts to the Canadlau border. For a month after the prohibition amendment went Into effect, smug gling whiskey from Canada into the United States was the favorite out door sport in Northern New York. It wAs easy at that, time to load an au- omobile with liquor In Montreal, to drive over the border by one of the fss freouented roads at night, to strike a smooth State road at Platts- burg, or Just below it. and to be in Troy or Albany by daylight, where here was no difficulty in selling me mu-gled enrgo for al leas) a hundred per cent, profit. This went on for aoout a nionui, when the revenue, officers became busy, seized several automolilles ana ade half a dozen arrests wiht tne result that the smugglers became more cautious. A slight breakdown of his motor forced one of these smugglers to stop at a garage on the oulsklrts of Plattshurg a week or two go for repairs. The Job. which was not a difficult one. took aooui hour, and the whiskey smuggler went on his way with about three thousand dollars worth of whiskey for wincn he had a customer In Troy. A doxen miles south of Plattsmirg nother automobile shot suctctenij from a crossroad and one of Its oc pnnants railed to the. smuggler to silently from the first automobile to the second. "This is your first offense, so we are going to seize the whiskey, but let you go." the spokesman then in fornied the smuggler, aud Jumped back Into his automobile. It was not until the supiosed reve nue officers had disappeared that the whUkey smuggler realized that he had been robbed by a band who had probably been informed that he was smuggling whiskey by some one who had beeu in the garaee at which he stopped for repairs. He did not dare to appeal to the olice. but the in cident became known, and the hold up is said to have done more than the activity of the revenue officers in causing the whiskey smugglers to give Platsburg a wide berth.

Goose Creek Volen. Vital Oiiestlon In a I'.lg Fox Play. The theme of "Should a Husband Foi'tive?" the big William Fox spe lt'.! which will be seen on Tuesday at the Strand Theatre, follows tne tine of thought indicated in the title. The great question. "Should a Husband Forgive?" Is one of aca- emic Interest to all married persons nd to those contemplating matrimo ny. No matter now nttie a person may be affected personally by this question, the tendency to Imagine one's self as the central figure of a rantatic situation makes the question one of universal Interest. Whether a husband should forgive is perhaps the most Important of all "eeciions affecting married life. Many stop, enforcing his demand with, a homei have been wrecked because a flourish of what In the dim light looked like a gun. We ere rve""" r P.cers, he m- fo ;he smuggler, "and will have to fer.rch your car." The search disclosed the whiskey, hich was transferred quickly and hrsbnnd refused to forgive on his wife's confession. Again, countless lives have been wrecked because the wife weakly tried to conceal her past from her husband, only to have It dis covered under aggravated circumstances.
