THE DIVORCE QUESTION The failure of the Episcopal con vention at Boston to resort to a certain drastic remedy in the case of divorced persons who wish to re-marry emphasizes the looseness of the laws which permit any and all individuals to assume the grave responsibility involved in mar riage. Wouldn't it be better to strike at the root of the evil and enact such laws as will indict a severe punishment upon those violating the marital obligation There is no question about the righteousness of many divorces secured but there is justice in the complaint that the offending party, who has violated every principle of morality, is by the decree of the court, given exemption, if not in law certainly in practice, from punishment. The divorce evil goes deeper than the mete separation of man and woman. It carries with it a violation of the law on the part of one party in every instance and from the violator, whether wife or husband, should be exacted the penalty. The remedy for the disease is the enforcement of sensible laws on the subject of matrimony. SCHURZ'S IDEA OF A RE PUBLIC. Hon. Carl Scburz's letter in which be expressed his purpose to vote for Judge Parker, has been more widely quoted than any document issued during this cam paign. Among the many wise aayingsin thiB letter none surpasses these: "The government of the repub lic must be a government of law, not a government of adventure." "It must be a government for the general benefit, not a govern ment of favor for the promotion of special interests." Just now it sterns that the voters are sated with "government by adventure," otherwise a la Roose velt. CAN ROWAN COUNTY BE DEBAUCHED I We are publishing on the first page of today's Sun an article which, if the Republicans mean what they do, is a reflection upon the integrity of every decent, self respecting man in Rowan county. The main facts cannot be denied, for if any serious question should arise as q the authenticity of our ! funds will be furnished. Can Spencer B'.ackburn Y.uyl Rowan county ! NO, NOT WITH A MILLION I THE LOGICAL RESULT. This interesting dispatch from Washington appeared in this morn ing's papers: Washington, Oct. 18. The sur geon general of the army has con- . . I General Grant that .John J. cmun a member of the United States Army Hospital Corps, stationed at Fort Mott, N. J., who is said to have married a negress, be dis charged from the army, "for the good of the service. This recommendation had been forwarded to the Secretary of VVar for his action. Smith wrote to the War Department inquiring if there was any reason why he should not be permitted to marry i colored woman, setting forth that her character was good, and that he could establish a good character for himself by his le cord. When Smith was first approach ad about his marriage to a negro woman he is reported by the New York World to have said, "If the President sees no harm in dining with a negro surely there is noth ing wrong in my marrying one," Neither Booker Washington nor the woman who married Smith deserve criticism. The Roosevelts and Smiths are the blameworthy ones, the case of 'this army officer is simply the logical result of the President's policy. There is nothing surprising in the press dispatch from Salt Like City, Utah, which says that "Be cause negro families at their moun tain home, in the town of Idaho, sent their children to the public school, 25 masked men last night drove all the colored people from the town." A negro stands about as much chance in the West as a snowball does in the abiding place of the wicked. MR. ROOSEVELT AND THE POPULISTS. A few Rowan county Populists, it is learned, will vote for Roose velt. Whether or not they know Mr. Roosevelt's opinion of a Popu list wa are unable to say. What he does think of them, however, is made clear in the following de liverance by Mr. Roosevelt in 1896: "Thrift and industry are quite incompatible with true Populistic feeling. Payments of debt, like the suppression of rioting, isg ab horrent to the Populistic nind Such conduct strikes the Populist as immoral." The Populist who can vote for Roosevelt after hearing this gra tuitous insult can swallow any dose offered by paity bosses. WTe regret the retirement of Dr A. J. McKelway from the Char lotte News, which he has edited with such conspicuous ability for more than a year. We have not always agreed with him in his editorial contentions but his sin cerity has never been' questioned. Journalism is a loser by his retire ment. Hearst's New York American devoted nearly half a page Mon day endeavoring to show that in the new registration the Republi cans had made gains over the Democrats. If Roosevelt does not carry New York it will not be Hearst's fault. So Tom Watson is to follow on Bryan's heels and attempt to undo his work for the Democratic nomi nees. Mr. Watson may be a bel ter Populist than Republican but he hasn't demonstrated it since he began his campaign. Col. Ike Meekins, the Republi can candidate for iieutentant gov ernor, professes to have a hanker ing for a j )int discussion with Bob Glenn. He has evidently forgot ten the fate of the little boy who played with the toy cannon.. It is interesting to hear that the Socialists will have a ticket in this State. It will be many a long year, however, before socialism gets a bold on North Carolina. men m MR. OBE DAWS KILLED SHOT BY H C GRUBB, OF SALISBURY Brothers - iii - Law the Principals in Tragedy Which Results in the Death of One. The Homicide the Result of a Misunderstanding Between the Two Hen. The Slayer Drives to Magistrate's House and Surrenders Himself. Now in Jail at Lexing ton. Shortly after 12 o'clock Sun day morning Mr. Obe Davis, of Davidson county, was killed by his brother-in-law, Mr. H. Clay Grubb, a former resident of David son county but for the past sever al months of Salisbury. The homicide occurred in front of the school house about 100 yards from Piney Church in Davidson county and was unexpected even by many who were close by. trouble between the Men. The slayer and the slain were brothers-in-law, Davis having married Grubb's sister. The men had been at times business and so cial intimates and up to two months ago were on the best of terms. difference arose between them, however, and Mr. Grubb was ad vised that the dead man had threat ened to have satisfaction in blood at the first opportunity. Mr. Davis was in Salisbury Friday but the two men did not meet. Mutual friends and partisans of either man have been apprehending trouble and there was no little satisfaction among them when Mr. Davis re turned home. MET AT THE CHURCH. While Mr. Grubb is making his home for the present in Salisbury his family is staying at his hand some country residence in David son county near Jubilee, about three miles beyond the Yadkin river, as distance is measured frou the Piedmont Toll Bridge. Smday Mr. Grubb accompani ed his wife to Piney Church. Mr. Grubb dismounted at a tree inf ront of the school house a short dis tance from the church. At this point, reports received in Salis bury are conflicting. There were several eye witnesses but none are communicative. Some say that Mrs. Grubb, Davib' sister, had alighted from the vehicle and Mr. Grubb was preparing to bitch his horse when Day is, who had just left the church, approached him and threw his hand to his hip pocket. Qaick as a flish Mr. Grubb drew his pistol and shot three times, every bullet taking effect. The vital bullet entered the neck just below the chin, prob ably severing an artery. Mr Davis dropped to the ground and died within five minutes. He did not speak after falling. His youngest brother, a mere boy, picked up a pistol by his side, which fell from his hand or pocket as he dropped. MB. GRUBB SURRENDERS. As soon as the shooting occurred Mr. Grubb surrendered to Esquire Simmerson and drove to Lexing ton, where he delivered himself to Sheriff Dorsett. Before baing confined to his cell Mr. Grubb sent for and consulted with the local counsel with whom are associated are Senator Overman and Hon. Cy B. Watson. Senator Overman was in consultation over the long distance 'phone for half an hour Sunday afternoon but I i 1 m . . woen asaeu ior a statement was prepared to give out but little in formation concerning the tragedy. Senator Overman has appoint ments to speak through this week and will probably not be able to attend the preliminary hearing, which it is expected will be held Tuesday or Wednesday. If bail is allowed there is no question about Mr. Grubb't ability to fur nish almost any amount required. He is a man of considerable means and has one of the handsomest homes and most fertile farms in Davidson county in addition to his distillery property here. He was the Republican candidate for sheriff of Davidson county in 1902 but is liked by men of all political parties and all classes of people. Since the completion of his dis tillery in Salisbury he has spent most of his time here but his fam ily has continued to reside in Salis bury, W bile reports have been received horo that Mr. Grubbtook u?due advantsgo of Ml". D.vis and killed him without provoca tion, such reports aro t given crodence bv those who knojw Mr. Grubb bebt. WAS IN SELF DEFENSE the homicide of sohday. An Eye Witness Sf.js Mr. CJrubb Only Protected Himself. Mr. H Clay Grubb i still in Ithe Lexington iail but habeas corpus proceedings have been in stituted and those who 4re most familiar with the co say e will bo released within the nc-M few days. : Last night an eye witness t the tragedy made a statement to the Sun reporter. His name is omitted inasmuch as he will be a witters at the habeas corpus nrooae dings The gentlemen in question says that, he was at Mr. Grubb's home last Sunday and that Mrs. Grubb asked Mr. Grubb to drive to the church. Mr. and Mrs. Grubb drove in one buggy and were in front of our informant and Mr. Dan Wilson. They drove be tween the school house and church. Mr. Grubb turned and circled and drove back, looking for a p'aca to hitch his horse In the meantime the Sun's informant had alighted and was in the act of hitching his horse when the shoot ing began. Before he drove to the tree when he had started to hitch he saw Dj.v;s standing 15 or 20 steps from the school house door as the the three oi them drove up. Just as the shooting began he saw Davis throw his right hand to a hip pocket and his left hand in front of his face. He then staggered and fell. Davis was walking towards Grubb before the shooting began. An interesting feature of the case is the fact that on last Satur day Davis told three prominent citizens of Lexington that there would be a shooting at Piney Church Sunday. Other parties in the presence of whom he ha 1 made threats against Grubb will be examined. North Carolina Maintains Its Lead. During the pas three months the South has added 119,804 spindles, requiring an investment of f2,396, 080 of which amount about $580, 000 will be the proportion of the investment in new mills. The new mills in North Carolina are: Wm. Coleman mills at Fayetteville with 25,000 spindle?; the R-ieford Pow er and Manufacturing Company with a capital of $200,000; Den - mark Manufacturing Company, of R aring River, with 2,500 spind les and 130 looms, and a new mill will be put up at Rockfor by J. D. Hamlin. In addition, to these new mills, there has been quite an increase in the number of spindlea at old and prosperous mills. The Fidelity Manufacturing Company at Charlotte will put in 2,000 new spindles, the Carolina Cotton Mills at Graham, 8,000 spindles and 100 looms and the Pilot Cotton Mills at Raleigh will add 1,000 spindles According to the Manufacturers' Record in all 119,904 new spindles were put in Southern mills during the past quarter. Of that number North Carolina furnished 38,000. The State coming next was Geor gia with 30,000 spindles, Alabama 22,000, and South Carolina 16,548 This shows that N. Carolina is keep ing its lead as the cotton manufac turing State of the South. The advantages which this State pos sesses are more and more appre dated by home and outside capital Rale'igh News and Observer. Carrying the Thing Too Far. With all due allowance this is carrying things too far. At Spring field, Mass., the home of the Abo litionist, an Episcopal church re cently decided to build a new edi hce in another locality. Along comes a congregation of colored brethren and decides to; buy the old church, but nay, many times nay. And what is carryjiug it too far is that the vestry ; met and ordered the old building torn down and passed a resolution that the ground should never be sold for a saloon or a negro chunch. Now this thing of putting a church of any kind or color on a par with a saloon is why we say if; is going too far away yonder tot far. But suppose some church do-wn in this country were to take sueh action ! Great Scott ! but wouldn't there, be howling ! And yet the .necro as a " - . whole will never be made to be lieve that the South is mis home the country where he is better treated and more liked boro Record.

Chairman Boyden is making arrangements for the great barbe cue to be held in Salisbury on November 3, at which Hon. R. B. Glenn will speak. Mr. Bojden stated this morning that he feels confident that with fair weather 10,000 people will be in Salisbury on that day. All the Democratic clubs in the county will be represented by members on horsebacks. Carriages, fl mts and vehicles of citizens other than club members will make up the line of parade which it is expected will be three miles loDg.

This afternoon he will finally determine upon the place. 12 DIE 09 NEW ENGLAND COAST, Schooner Wentworth Strikes Chatham Bar-All on Board Perished. Chatham, Mass., Oct. 14 The forward section of the hull and the slanting foremast stood as mute reminders tonight of the ocean tragedy enacted here last night, when the three masted schooner Wentworth, of Moncton, N. C. struck on Chatham bar during a raging northeasterly-gale and all on board perished in the terrific seas. Of the 12 persons who were on board the stranded vessel, not one reached the shore alive, al though two bodies were rescued from the surf this morning, one of tiem that of a woman, believed to be the wife of the captain. With her three children she was accom panying her husbind on a trip from Hillsboro, N. B., to Neward, New Jersey. Little could be done in an effort to aid the crew of the disabled craft as the Cape Cod life-savers from two stations were unable to launch their Burf boats in the tre mendous seas. A short line was fired to the schooner, which lay not much more than 300 yards from the shore. There was one answering pull, and the life-savers thought that they heard a voice above the roar of the sui f crying, "All right," but beyond this there was no sign of life on board the craft. Not receiving another pull on the shot line, the life-savers shot more lines to the vessel. To day when wreckage came ashore it was discovered that the first line had been made fa6t to the wheel of 1 the schooner, and it is believed a heavy sea swept over the vessel just as the liue was fastened and that all men on deck were washed overboard.

According to the records on file at the Department, Pritchard bore an excellent reputatioD as a soldier and officer. Deen's home was at Athens, Texas. Too Dry to Sow Wheat. "Do you folks know an election is pending?" a gentleman from the country was asked yesterday. "Some of them have a vajue idea of it," he answered, "bat the main topic is the fine season for gather ing crops and the anxiety to sow wheat. Many farmers are ready and anxious to sow but the ground is so dry they're afraid to begin." The drought is getting quite serious in some sections.' During September but little more than an inch of rain fell and in Statesville there has been only a small shower during October. There is com plaint of scarcity of water in the western section of the State, as many of the streams are failing on account of the protracted drought. There has been no complaint of this in Iredell, but people who have not prepared wheat lands aad those who have are anxious fir a rain so that wheat can be put in. But the delay in wheat sowing has its compensations. There never was a finer season to ather crops and the cotton so far aas been gathered white and clean free from stain. Statesville Landmark. Earnings and Accidents. Every year in recent reckoning except 1897 has witnessed an in crease in the total of lives sacrifi ced by American railroads. In spite of improvements in coupling and in roadbed which have great ly lessened certain classes of ac cidents, the total rises steadily. It now approaches twenty-five every day of the entire year There is a general impression which will require strong evidence to dislodge that this growing slaughter of passengers is due in part to the desire of railway com panies which were overcapitalized in the reckless financial debauch of 1900-1901 to make a "ahow of earnings" by cutting operating ex penees beyond the limit of safety.

AN AUTOMOBILE LIRE. THE MACHINE IN OPERATION. Will Ron Every Half Hour Between Salisbury and Spencer. Correspondence of Sun, Spencer, Oct. 15. The sixteen carrier automobile which his been in coui.-c f . ! struction iul -"vrr' mouiha uj put in opertL.:j o,o yesterday and created considerable excite ment on account of its enormous siza. The big machine really has a capacity for carrying twenty people and it i3 sot to high speed. It is perhaps the largest of its kind in use in the State. The ma chine is owned by a company com posed of Spencer, High Point and Ramseur gentlemen and it is pro posed to run a regular toil line between Spencer and Salisbury making a trip each way every half hour. Mr. J. M. Brown, of this place, is secretary and treasurer of the company. At a recent meeting of the Spen- r School Hoard Miss Helen Mor- ce ton who has been making her heme here for the past year, was elected to fill a vacancy in the faculty caused by Miss Bell Sairey resign ing. The latter goes to Virginia to accept a position as teacher. Miss Morton, who is well equipped for the work in the schools her, is expected to take charge of the second and third grades about November 1st. The Stallings kindergarten school which opened in the bank building here a month ago, is in a flourish ing condition and has a creditable enrollment. The patrons of this school seem to be well pleased with the progress being made by the pupils. The parsonage building which is being erected by the Methodist church here is now nearing com pletion and the pastor, Rev. J. E Gay, hopes to occupy the same before the next conference meets. When finished it will be one of the most substantial dwelling in Spen cer. Dr. M. L. Smoot, who located at East Spencer a few months ago, has removed his office to the resi dence of Mr. J.

At an early hour this morning Mr. J. R. Rob erts, a merchant of Eist Spencer, was found in a semi-conscious con dition in his store with a severe wound in the back of the head from which blood was flowiDg freely. Failing to return to his home at about midnighr, his usual time for closing, it is learned that members of his family went in search of Mr. Roberts, who seems to have been injured in a mysteri ous manner, as there is no clue to the perpetrators of the deed. Mr. Roberts himself is still unable to throw any light on the matter. It is also reported that he was rob- Ibed, but at this hour the extent of the robbery or what was taken cannot be ascertained. Mr. Rob erts also keeps a restaurant, which is patrom'zxl by a number of rail road men at all hours. It is feared that he was clubbed at a late hour and left in what was supposed to by a dying condition. Medical at- tention was secureu as soon as I possible and it is now thought the injured man will recover. Engineer Bay Killed. Mt. Gilead, N. C, Oct. 18 A work train on the Aberdeen & Ashboro road was wrecked today one mile south of Troy. The en gine was running backward, hav ing two flat cars ahead. The cars ran into a buggy, in which Whit Morris was crossing the railroad. Mr. Morris is very old and cannot hear well. His mule was instantly killed, also wrecking his buggy. Morris escaped with a few bruises. Engineer Ray, who was in charge of the extra, was riding the cars which struck the mule and buggy, and was thrown some distance. When found his head was badly crushed, resulting in his death in a few houre. A crisis is facing the cotton mills of the Spartanburg section located on the streams, on account of low water.
