A demonstration lasting more than
five minutes greeted the President at

WHISKY ANC NOT A
LAND DISPUTE WAS
CAUSP OF SLAYING
Nick Collins Killed Abra

Because He Thought He
Had "Told on Him," SayS
Sheriff Moonshiner
Jones county authorities Friday
admitted that they were but little
nearer to apprehending Nick Collins,
who several days ago murdered Abra
ham Collins, a distant relative, than
they were just following the shoot
ing, When the slayer vanished. There
was one slight clue, however; a well-
based idea was had as .to the gener
al direction in which Collins went. It
was not toward Kinston.
Whisky, and not the land dispute
which the papers have claimed was
the cause of, the crime, was .responsi
ble for the murder in the opinion of
Sheriff Hairgett of Jones. The slay
er was a moonshiner; "there isn t a
bit of doubt about that," according
o Sheriff Hargett. "He probably j
thought the victim had informed

ary dispute as a new incentive, killed
Abraham Collins. Nick Collins is
of nothing like the prominence in
Jones that some accounts have stat
ed, Hargett said. He is quite well-
to-do. "but of no jrood character."
The victim was better liked; he, also,
was well off.
Police (Sergeant K. F Foscue of
this city knows the slayer. He was
also intimately acquainted with Ab
raham Collips. Neither man was of
especial prominence; both were "well
fixed" and the slayer of cowardly,
contentious disposition, when he liv
ed near them.

HONOR OF THE MOOSE
A MAJvt, 3AlO
By GEORGE CREEL
(Written for the Democratic National
Committee.)
In this election nothins; is so much
at stake as the honor and self-respect
of the men and women who made p
the Progressive party. They banded
in the name(;of humanity, raised the
standard of social justice, and vowed
their lives to the defeat of the sinis -
ter figures in control of the Republi
can party.
What is the situation today? Mr.
Roosevelt hobnobs with Taft and Root
and Cannon, and Perkins, : Bobbins
and Everett Colby sH in councils with
Penrose, Crane and Hkchcock. Be-
hind Hughes is Wall Street, the German-American
Alliance, child labor
exploiters, reactionary employers and
every Tory influence that hopes to
restore the days of Hannaism. Sesirch
through the Republican platform, line
by line, and not a single reference to
social justice will foe found. Read
the speeches of Hughes and it will
be seen that it is the humane legis
lation of President Wilson that he
attacks most bitterly.
Watch Hughes as he journeys from
State to State. In not one has he
failed to consort exclusively with
the bosses and reactionaries against
whom the Progressives fought in
1912, even going so far as to ignore
Hiram Johnson in California on the
eve of an election. In his repeated
declaration, "I desire a reunited par
ty," he betrays utter inability to
grasp Progiressiviem as a spiritual re
volt, viewing it as nothing mors
than the expression of disgruntled
factionalism.
The Progressive who goes back to
the Republican party must crawl on
his knees. He must recant his "lu
natic heresies." He must swallow
his condemnation of Cannon, Root,
Hemenway, Crane and Penrose, and
acclaim them wise, good and all-powerful.1
In plain words, he must con
fess that he lied in 1912; in plainer
action he must admit that he is not
a free American citizen, but a chat
tel to be bound and delivered When
ever Theodore Roosevelt finds a price
that suits.
