people, irresiective of party, are hop
ing tliat the President will Jiave the
courage to wash his hans of the no
torious Addicks for all time, but the
telegraphic news is to the effect that
Addicks' lieutenant, Allee, lias already
gone to Oyster Bay to secure the selec

Commissioner, of labor, Carroll D.
Wright, has, in the capacity of um
pire for a board of conciliation, ap
pointed unier the provisions of the
decision of the Antliracite Coal Strike
Commission, rendered an important
decision affecting labor. Mr. Wright,
adjudicating a case where the labor
interests claimed tliat one of their
number has been discliarged without
cause, points, out' that the right of
discharge must remain with the em
ployer, the only alternative being the
forfeiture of the right of quittal on
the part of the employed. In other
words, if the employer lias no riht
to discharge his men then the men can
claim no right to quit and a virtual
serfdom would thus be created. The
labor organizations are said to be dis
please 1 with the decision, but Mr.
Wright's corsollary is so obvious tliat
it is probable that when further reflec
tion has enabled theni to take a broad
er view of the situation they will ap
preciate the justice of the decision.
There have been some important de
velopments in connection with the
Postoftice Investigation during the
past week but their real significance is
thus far guarded with the utmost se
crecy. It is known tliat the District
of Columbia grand jury lias , returned
seven indictments against six persons,
but who those persons are it is impos
sible to ascertain. Arrests are expected
hourly now and as soon as they are
made the facts will doubtless be given
to the public. There are known to
be some twenty cases before the grand
jury and it is intimated that the most

COMMUNICATION.
Editor Webster's Weekly :
I was sorry to learn" that the dis
pensary was lost in your town, al
though it was by a small margin. It
is evident to my mind tliat it was the
pro-whiskey sentiment and vote tliat
defeated yon, and not the desire of
prohibition, although the opposition
made all the music on the prohibition
string tliat. was in it. There was evi
dently among some a fear that if they
got the dispensary thev would never
get rid of it, that it would be their
ultima thule; and tliat mav have
weakened their hands in the fight for
the greater good , tlian the saloon and
the lesser good tlian prohibition. But
make a fight now for prohibition
straight, and I prophecy that nine
tenths of the vote that was cast against
the dispensary will be cast against pro
hibition, unless there is a. radical
cliange of sentiment on the funda
mental question of temperance. This
change is going on everywhere, and
will go on in your town until the peo
ple will rise up in their might and say
that the imperialism of the saloon
shall no longer exist among them.
: Now I presume, the stillhouses of
the county will be tumbled in on you,
and you will liave a reign of rotten
Dummies, gnats, bluebottle flies, yel
low jackets and pandemonium. In the
meanwhile the licensed saloon will
prey on the morals of your sons and
husbands and continue to manufac
ture drunken companions for your
daughters, as they liave done hitherto.
; It is evident to me tliat where a
community is not prepared for prohi
bition, tliat the dispensary is the next
best thing to it, and that it will cur
tail drinking and increase public rev
enue. The question of whiskey or no
whiskey is a question upon which
honest men may differ. It is not ab
surd to say tliat alcohol lias its lawful
uses, and tliat regulation, not prohi
bition, is the true policy. But if we
are to have regulation, the Lord de
liver us from high license ! It seems
to. me tliat the dispensary is the only
feasible species of regulation that has
yet been invented.
; In Reidsville you must await the
groVvth of temperance sentiment. This
will be brought about by the pulpit,
the public schools, the press and those
hundreds of physical, intellectual, so
cial and moral influences whose' com
bined product is the higher civiliza
tion. Laws cannot run far ahead of
public sentiment. That is the unwrit
in law of the land after all. No law
tliat is not enacted or sustained by it
can be executed. When fch American

Nwebern, Sept. 13. Jones county
today is the scene of excitement from
one end to the other, over the murder
of Furnifold G. Simmons, father of
United States Senator P..M. Simmons,
who was brutally shot and clubbed to
death yesterday afternoon by a negro
whose name is said to be Daniels.
Mr. Simmons, who lived about eight
miles from Pollocks ville, Jones county,
went there yesterday to sell his cot
ton, and as he did not return last night
his family became uneasy as to his
whereabouts, as it was known that he
had a good sum of money on his per
son. His grandson, James H. Sim
mons, who is a merchant of this place,
was notified last night that his grand
father was missing, and he left imme
diately to help in the search. Senator
Simmons was also notified, and lie ar
rived here today and was immediately
driven out to , his old homestead, and
when he reached there he found tliat
the body of his aged father liad been
found down on the banks of Trent
river, about one mile from his home,
with three gun shot wounds in the
body, and a club wound on his head.
A report reached here that the man
who committed the crime was caught
near Pollocksville, about 2 o'clock tins
afternoon, and there was every indi
cation that the citizens were very
much wrought up over the matter.
Mr. Simmons, the murdered man,
was a quiet, peaceful old gentleman,
and the affair has cast a gloom over
this entire city, where he was well
and favorably known. Mr. Simmons
was TO years of age.
A dispatch to the Observer eorre
spondent from Pollocksville gives the
following particulars: "Fumitold G.
Simmons, father of Senator F. M.
Simmons, was shot to death Saturday
afteruoou by an Juuknown party who
was trespassing on his laud, squirrel

county, about 17 miles from this place.
Friday afternoon he heard the report
of guns on his land, and went out to

Sam Jones, the famous Methodist
evangelist, was badly bruised in a per
sonal encounter today with Postmaster
Walter Akerman, whom Mr. Jones de
nounced for selling wine and threat
ened to have reported to President
Roosevelt.
The difficulty arose over statements
made by Mr. Jones at his tabernacle
meeting last night when he used the
expression, "dirty dog." in remarks
said to refer to Mr. Akerman. When
they met this morning Mr. Akerman
tnpnfioned the remarks and hit Mr.

Heart disease is curable, but in people of

Core, which, we know from watching hun
dreds of cases and from the letters of grateful

It is not only a wonderfal cure for weak and

effective treatment ever forni'-Iated for im
proving the circulation of the blood.
Doring the Civil war I contracted heart
disease, and in 1S96, while Imng in the grand

SETTLE WILL H AYE OPPOSITION.
Asheville Citizen.
The suggestion in Sunday's Citizen
that Thomas Settle was in the lead
for the republican nomination for
congress is not acquiesced in by the
friends of Professor J. J. Britt,the
scholarly and pleasant mannered gen
tleman who has an office in the reve
nue department and whose friends are
warm in advocacy that Mr. Settle had
not captured the nomination by any
manner of means. "Well, wliat are
Mf. Britt's chances for the nomina
tion?" was asked of one of the Pro-
i
fessor's friends.
4l'What are Mr. Britt's chances for
the congressional nomination?"
"Excellent, and he will surely get
it i he wants it," was the reply.
'1'Mr. Britt is verv auiet. but lie is
strong everywhere. Uur only dim
cultv is in fretting him to become an
avowed candidate."
S-Unon'what do his friends base
their claims?"
4;' First, his personal fitness, being a
man without public or private blem-
isli ; second, his ability, he being the
party's ablest man in the district, and
his strength as a mixer with the peo
ple!; and, third, his party loyalty and
party service. As a campaigner he is
fluent, ready, pointed, and a hard hit
ter. He has measured arms with some
of the ablest democratic speakers in
the state, among them Lieut. -Governor
Turner and Congressman Bellamy."
f Wliat of this alleged war between
the 'Out' and 'Ins'"
"I take no stock. in that. Mr. Britt
would not coutenance it for a moment.
Some of the friends of one of the can
didates are trying to array the repub
lican ma&sea against the office holders,
but it won't work. Our republican
voters are too tatriotic for tliat. On
the! one l;and no good republican would
make an office the condition or ins
party service. Such talk tends to di
vide the party into faction. Mr. Britt
is too good a republican to be a fac
tion it, and I am sure tliat he would
not accept a iactionai nomiiauou.
But he will be nominated by represen
tatives of all cla-w-es in the party."

Dr. Pearson has sold his residence
in Victoria to Mr. James O. Wynn,
who pnrcliased the adjoining residence
of R. U. Garrett several months ago,
and lie and Mrs. Pearson are at Mis
Moore's on Victoria road.
Naturally great regret will be felt
by everyone at Dr. Pearson's leavinr,
because for many years he lias be u
endeared to the people and the con
stantly increasing reputation of the
distinguished evangelist Ijas been a
matter of pride to the city, but hi
leaving is really a matter of necessity
and not of choice. For twenty year
Dr. Pearson liar4abored incessantly iu
the evangelical field and this trying
work has so affected hi heart tliat Dr.
Burroughs has peremptorily forbidden
his patient to continue longer in thi
service. It was at this time-that th
chair of Bible teaching in Cumberland
was offered to Dr.. Pearson and a he

pills cleanf-e tbe liver and rid the

not gripe, sicken or weaken, but give

can be. used than Little Early Risers
for constipation, sick headacne, etc."

Raleigh Times.
News reached Raleigh today of a
case of white-capper rendering sum
mary justice to a wife beater near
Clayton. It seems tliat a white man
who is a prominent farmer, named
Charles Whitely, who lire about four
miles from Clayton, liad some domes
tic trouble with his wife and pro
ceeded to beat her unmercifully. She
fled from her home to the home of her
relatives and there told her pitiful
story, exhibiting marks of the inhu
man cruelty to which she had been
subjected. The next night an organized
body of unknown, men visited the
house of Whitely, tied him up and
carried him out into the woods and
there beat him with hor-whij until
he was almost dead. Their mrting
injunction to him was to ieav the
community by the next night, and if
be didn't," thev would come back and
kill htm. Instead of leaving lwgot
together a crowd of hi friend and
waited for the avengers, but as yet
they liave not carried out tlieir tlireat.
More trouble is expected.
