Pell, of the State Corporation Commission, according to The Raleigh News A Observer. In a statement Viven out yesterday Judge Pell, after enuciating his two alternatives for Mr. Parker, says: n either case this assertion of his is conclusive proof that he is un fit to be governor of a great state. It is a matter of common knowledge that Mr. Parker is chargeable with an attempt to deceive the people for. if he Is ignorant of the facts, he has carelessly made a statement ot an untruth whn the slightest diligence on his part to ascertain the truth would have shown him that in some Instances railroad property has been Increased neirly ten times. We do not know whether, on appeal, these valuations will stick, but they are certainly the valuations now existing as fixed by our commission. ItetimiiK-eti n "Iiilijnlllotis.

Parker of Monroe, is indicating that he is a political strate gljt of first rank. He will probably never be Governor, but he is carrying on a well-planned campaign. His publicity manager is sending out to the press carefully culled "ex- racti" fron the speeches which Mr. Parker is making while he may yet secure the advantage of the udvertls lna done by the Democratic primary candlates. The "extracts" are both pertinent and impertinent discussions of live subjects; on a strictly news basis thev are worth the space gwen them, and while we wish very much that "J. J." would give his un founded suspicion ot the Revaluation Act a rest and talk for the people of the State of North Carolina In stead of against the Democratic oarty: The Times will continue to nriut reDorts of his speeches as often as rece ved. if they continue to oe "newsy." The Monroe lad is clever, in ai tackini the Revaluation Act he brings to his suDnort that eminent usmo- crallc taxation authority uncie Sam's tax collector for this territory . W. Bailey. The nastiest thing ha says is an indirect quotation from the Ralelttii Federal official. There's nothing betweent tne lines oi mis statement of ours: Mr. uatiey nas the rlitht and should have the cour age to obje-t to anything In the pro- gran 01 o. ate uemucracy u uura.i want ta see done.

The rieleiratlon elected at that time to go to the State convention was uuin .. ..a Thl. itleration voted In favor of suffrage for women, and the State convention by a big majority endorsed the proposition.

Being at the origin of the tornado that swept over parts of Union coun- lost Sunday afternoon, causing eavy damage and injury to several persons was the experience of Mr. ud Mrs. Rook Morrison, ot Miami. Florida, who have been the guests for several days of Mr. and Mrs. W. Williams, ot 14uu East Fourth strwft, says The Charlotte News. Mr. and Mrs. Morrison were en heir way to Charlotte and had stop- ej at Osceola Creek briug nt nion County, to adjust a a automo bile tire. While the automobile wis stand ing, Mrs. Morrison observed a small whirlwind stirring up the leaves on the top of a small hillock, about a uarter of a mile away. It dipped oward the surface of the ground for moment anl appeared to lift a few feet above th- surface for a moment. This was indicated by the leaves and stubble, once picked up, fluttering back to earth. Presently, however, there was a noticeable quantity of eaves and stubble flying in the air nd Mrs. Morrison directed her hus band's attention to it. In a moment the tiny whirlwind had resolve! itself into a swirling tornado Wuich be-atae black with leaves, sticks, twigs and limbs off rees and d ?brij of v arious kinds, us it stari!-.l a rapid sweep across he landsca; with au ominous roar. Awe-struck at the unusual sight. Mr. and Mrs. Morrison watched the cloud, which was clearly funnel- shaped, sweep over the country and pick a house, which it smashed, burl ing bits of the shingle roof, window sash and other bits or wood hign n the air. It twisted trees into tooth brushes of colos.-al size and cut a swath through forest and over fields as distinct as if some giant with a scythe had done the work. The phenomenon swept on serosa country, out ot sight, and Mr. ana Mrs. Morrison, congratulating them selves that the tornado formed and traveled from them Instead of toward them, did not know the extent or damage done until a day or two later.
