THE SUN, RUTHERFORDTON. N. C THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, iM2. GENERAL NEWS NOTES. The Most lmportant?Event Of The Past Week Tersely Told. William Jennings Bryan, statod to a Waycross, Ga., newspaper man that he was not going to Bermuda to con fer with President-elect Wilson in regard to the cabinet. One hundred girls narrowly escaped death at Washington, Ga., whet, the St. Joseph's academy, the only Cath olic college exclusively for girls in Georgia, was totally destroyed by fire. The damage is estimated at $75,000. Despondent over continued ill health, Dr. Alphonso R. Price, a vet erinary surgeon and the brother of the late Daisey Price, one time mayor of Macon, slashed his throat with a caseknife while sitting in his home, 254 Edgewood avenue, in the pres ence of his wife and several friends and neighbors. There is little hope of his recovery. Mrs. Eveline Stalnaker, suing the Modern Woodmen lodge of Independ ence, to force payment of a $20,000 Dolicv on her husband s life, was con fronted by Stalnaker in the district court at Independence, Kans. The case was dismissed with the costs as sessed against Mrs. Stalnaker. Mrs Stalnaker earlier had taken the stand. She said her husband was the broth er of her first husband and that when she married him he was 19 years old and she 40. In 1904, she related, he left her and she claimed he was dead The body of Joseph Meriwether Ter rell, former governor and United States senator, who died in Atlanta, was buried in the old cemetery at Greenville, Ga. The interment was at tended by hundreds of Georgians who had known and honored Mr. Terrell since his early manhood. Eight trainmen were killed and three badly injured near Norlina, N. C, when Seaboard Air Line through pas senger trains running between New York and Jacksonville, Fla., collided head-on. Both locomotives and three passenger coaches were demolished Further deaths and injuries were pre vented by the fact that there were no passengers in the coaches demol ished. The date for the execution of F oyd Allen and his son, Claude S. Allen for participation in the Hillsville court house murders, was postponed by Governor Mann of Virginia from No vember 22 to December 13. The res pite was granted so that Claude Allen might take an appeal to the United States Supreme court on the consti tutional ground that his life had twice been placed in jeopardy. Melvin Dodson and Luther Roberts of Van Buren county, Tennessee, al leged to be members of a powerful gang of moonshiners, which, some months ago, fought a desperate battle with revenue officers were taken to Nashville and placed in jail. They were indicted at the recent session of Federal court at Cookeville for at tempting to assassinate G. S. Marsh, a posseman. Both men were held in the sum of $10,000 to answer to the next term of Federal court. One woman was fatally injured and a score of women and men seriously burned or bruised when an overturn ed lamp set fire to a building in which the Holiness church, sometimes known as the "Holy Jumpers" was holding its annual convention in Dur ham, N. C. A panic followed. Mrs. Jud Pope, one of the many who jump ed from the second story windows, is expected to die. Some delegates were burned as they fought their way out of the building, and others were injured by falling glass and tim bers. The fourth annual convention of the Federation of Jewish Farmers of America opened in New York City with delegates in attendance repre senting fifty societies scattered over seven states. All the problems con fronting the 1,000 Jewish farmers in the Eastern States will be discuss ed. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Greenbaum, president of the educa tional alliance, welcomed the dele gates. He congratulated them for re turning to the occupation of their forefathers. While selecting a coffin for his wife, who died at Raleigh, N. C, George Newton, aged 65, was crushed when a show case containing half a dozen caskets fell upon him. Physi cians say he will die. Another gang of motor car bandits is operating in the outlying districts of Paris, France. Unknown yeggmen looted the vault of the Kingston, Tenn., Bank and Trust company, escaping with about $1,000 in gold and silver, $80 in cur rency and several hundred dollars' worth cf stamps and other postofflce supplies. Sweeping transfers among army of ficers before December 15 "must be made because of the new law provid ing that no army officer shall be ab sent from duty with his company for more than two years out of six. Joseph Schmitt of St. Louis, de prived of his daily walk, which was 1s sole ioy. hanged himself. "Gyp the Blood," "Lefty Louie," "Dago Frank" and "Whitey Lewis" killed the gambler, Herman Rosen thal, at the instigation of Charles Becker and must pay the penalty of death in the electric chair. The jury which has been hearing the evidence against the four gunmen so decided, when it returned a verdict of murder In the first degree, after but 20 min Htes of deliberation. The . gunmet heard the verdict pronounced against, them without show of emotion. The annual session of the Virginia Methodist conference, which has been in session in Lynchburg, ended after the annual appointments. The last business was the report of the board of missions, which showed collections for the year amounting to $142,000 for home and foreign work. Of this $90, 000 was raised through the churches, the remainder being from the wom en's and chidren's work. Armed with an infernal machine, containing enough dynamite to de stroy an entire city block, a bottle of nitroglycerine and a 45-calibre re volver, a masked man took possession of the Central police station at Los Angeles, Cal., and held it for more than an hour, while hundreds of oc cupants of the building and those for blocks around, panic-stricken, sought safety in distance. The Turkish fortress of Monastir has surrendered to the Servians. Fif ty thousand Turkish soldiers and three generals laid down their arms. Monastir had virtually been surround ed by the Servian troops for some time, while Greek troops, coming from the south, had cut off the Turkish line of retreat to Ochrida. With cholera and typhus raging within her demoral ized army, and a powerful enemy hammering at her gates, Turkey again appeals to the allies for terms. Mon astir is the second city of importance in European Turkey. It was Turkey's stronghold in Macedonia, and by its downfall Macedonia passes complete ly out of Turkish hands. The Mexican government is deter mined to carry out the threat recent ly made to resume the tactics em ployed so successfully by General Ro bles in the sttae of Morelos. This is indicated by the report of the war department announcing the total de struction of several towns and vil lages in the northern mountains of Gaxaca, where the revolution has been rampant. Two of the places de stroyed were the strongholds of the Zerrano Indians. Convinced that the inhabitants of these towns were com pletely in accord with the rebels, or ders were issued for their destruction. Without even calling upon the inhabi tants to withdraw, the artillery be gan its work and ceased only when the towns had been reduced to a mass of ruins. The storm which struck sections of Jamaica in the West Indies indicate that great damage has been done. Banana planters seem to be the heav iest losers, although railway and tel egraph properties also have suffered greatly. Telegraph and railroad com munication generally is demoralized, making it difficult to estimate the exact state of affairs in parts of the island. Reports say a hurricane pass ed over the northwest coast of Ja maica in the direction of Cuba. With -his head battered up, uncon scious and in a dying condition and with his clothes saturated in kero sene oil nad his body partly cremated, P. A. High, identified as a railroad employee of Durham, was found in Yogan Greene's place on West Lenoir street, Raleigh, N. C. The man died a few hours later at Rex hospital without regaining consciousness. High was about 30 years old and his mur derer, Logan Greene, negro, gave his age as 77 years. A nation wide raid, involving prac tically simultaneous arrests of 173 persons in the principal cities of the country, was made by postoffice in spectors and United States marshals upon doctors and drug concerns who are charged with the misuse of the mails to solicit criminal medical prac tice, or to dispose of medicines and instruments connected with such practice. The arrest is the culmina tion of the crusade instituted two years ago against the fraudulent use of the mails, and it is asserted that the wide publicity given to the ar rests made will do more to put an end to this particular sort of crimi nality than any number of practically unknown prosecutions of widely-separated cases.' One of the most important moves in recent years to prepare the nation al militia for use in time of war is proposed in letters addressed by Act ing Secretary Oliver to governors of all the states and territories, inviting their -co operation . in the war college plans for the organization of the mil itia into sixteen tactical divisions. The letters point out that if the mi itia is to be used as a field force effectively in war time, it can only be done by this-system of divisions and that to insure the proper working of the plan all of the details should be worked out in time of peace. The opening attack upon the con stitutionality of the sections of the recent postal appropriation act re quiring newspapers to give postal au thorities access to their circulation records and to publish the names of their stockholders and bondholders, as well as to label political articles as advertisements, was made before the United States Supreme court in a nrinted brief filed by Robert C. Mor ris and G. B. Plante on behalf of the Journal of Commerce and Commer cial Bulletin of New York City. The case is set for argument orally on December 2 in Washington, D. C HOME FOR WIDOWS. The Daughters And Legislators To Push The Work Rocky Mount. In joint session the committee from the state organization of the Daughters of the Confederacy : and the three state legislators and two senators that composed a com I mittee from the last general assembly met in a called meecing in the par lors of the Saymore club. Following this joint meeting the committee of law makers went into an executive ses , sion, lasting more than an hour. Their ! decision is summed up in the follow- j ing recommendation that will be re ported to the next general assembly: "Recommended that the general as sembly build a home for the depend ent widows of the Confederate sol diers and all other worthy dependent women of the Confederacy, and that at least $10,000 be appropriated for the purpose and $5,000 annually for the maintenance of the home, and that the location of said home be selected I by a committee appointed for that purpose. After due deliberation, and after a thorough investigation in com pliance with the above recommenda i tion we herewith submit the follow ; ing bill." This motion prevailed by a vote of three to one. The bill referred to is to be drawn by Chairman of the Com mittee T. T. Thome, and provides for ten incorporators, five lady members of advisory board, and the appoint ment by the governor of five trustees The women who represent the Daugh ters of the Confederacy are Mrs. Mar shal Williams, the state president of the United Daughters of the Confea eracy, of Faison, Mrs. Hunter Smith of Fayetteville, and Mrs. M. O. Win stead of this city. The committee from the state senate is represented by T. T. Thome, chairman, of this city; A. D. McGill, of Fayetteville; John Spainhour, of Morganton, and M. Leslie Davis, of Beaufort. Road Repairing in Guilford. Greensboro. County Road Superin tendent J. A. Davidson has determin ed to start a general repair move ment with a view to preserving the macadam roads of Guilford, more tnan 125 miles of which has been laid in the county during the past ten years. In many places the macadam is in bad shape and practically everywhere that it has been down five years it is in need of repair. Superintendent Da vidson now proposes to put the entire convict force on repair work, going over all the macadam. Agricultural Man For Iredell. Statesville. A step forward, which has been taken by Iredell county, gives her a county commissioner of agriculture, who will give his whole time to instructing the farmers of the county in modern methods of ag riculture and the advancement of farming interests. The crop im provement committee, of Chicago, has given $1,000 for this purpose, the coun ty has given a similar amount and the national department of agricul ture has given $700. The Farmer and The Fair. Raleigh. The state and county fair is an educational institution where in struction is picked up by observation, demonstration and comparison of pro ducts. There is no question that the fair is unequalled as a place for get ting progressive farmers together and permitting them to compare notes on their several lines of progress and act ivity during the year. The real pur pose of the fair is the education of the farmer and his family in the fun damental principles of the production of high yields of good quality at the least cost. The battle for the prizes should be one of ideals and individual judgments rather than the quantities and displays. Much Cotton Unpicked In Hoke. Raeford. Although cotton picking is futher advanced than at this date last year, there are several hundred bales unpicked on "the farms of Hoke county. Tree Bears Two Crops in One Year Lenoir. John T. Spencer, who lives a little over a mile east of town, has a June apple tree on his place that pro duced two crops of well matured ap ples this year. June apples in No vember is the unusual record of this tree. Porto Rico's New Wonder. From far away Porto Rico come re ports of a wonderful new discovery that is believed will vastly benefit the peo ple. Ramon T. Marchan. of Barcelon eta, writes: "Dr. King's New Discovery is doing splendid work here. It cured me about five times of terrible coughs and colds, also my brother of a severe cold in his chest and more than 80 oth ers, who used it on my advice. We hope this great medicine will yet he sold in every drug store in Porto Rico." For throat and lung troubles it has no equal. A trial will convince you of its merit. 50c. and $1 00. .

During the meet ing a number of public addresses will be made by some of the doctors and also an illustrated lecture on the health of the community. Flagged Train With Sblrt. Teuring his shirt from his back an Ohio man flagged a train and saved it from a wreck, but H. T. Alston, Raleigh N. C, once prevented a wreck with Electric Bitters. "I was in a terrible plight when I began to use them," he writes, "my stomach, head, back and kidneys were all badly affected and my liver was in bad condition, but four bot tles of Elect nic Bitters made me feel like a new man. " A trial will convince you of their matchlesa merit for any stomach, liver or kidney trouble. Price 50 cent at all druggists. JUDGE FOR YOURSELF. Whicn Is BetterTry An Experiment Or Profit By Kutherfordton Citi zen's Experience. Something new is an experiment. Must be proved to be as represented.

The president was authorized to appoint a legislative committee to take the mat ter actively in hand. Election Will be Contested. No information has been handed out regarding the decision of the Republi cans as to the contesting the recenl election until just now, when one ol the leading Republicans of the coun ty said that as a result of the investi gations made by Attorneys Bynum and Strudwick, of Greensboro, the electioE would be contested without doubt and, in addition, there would be sev eral prosecutions against Democrats who, he stated, had been guilty of un lawful conduct in connection wit'i the election in this county.
