Mr. Wi A. Lentz, onf of the best known of Rowan county far mers, died at his home in Zeb, Wednesday evening", September 28. Mr. Leiitz had been stricken ed with penumonia and from the first it was seen that . his chances for recovery were small. Mr Lentz suffered a stroke of paralys sis last year, and although he was a man of unusual physical vigor, he never recovered entirely from this attack. . Mr. Lentz was a man of small pretensions and led the life of a useful citizen, a good father and a faithful Christian. - It is the use ful who are successful and his ex it from the world finds it better than his entrance into it. His life, therefore, more man repays, the suffering and the sorrow that weigh down upon those who at tended him from the cradle to the grave. The funeral services were held from Bethel church Friday, Rev. V. Y Boozer officiating. LOCAL ITEMS. Miss May Boyden has returned to Salisbury after visiting for a month at Blowing Hock.

Spencer, Oct. 4. Traveling Engineer W. J. Lacy, of the American Locomo tive Works, at Richmond; Va., together with a corps of assistants, are here de. livering a number of extra large en gines to the Southern Railw ay Compa ny at this point. The type of locomo tives is the largest in use in the South, weighing about 180 tons each. Ten passenger and 25 freight engines have already Ibeen delivered to the Southern and it is learned that a delivery of 2 more from the American Works and an 4 additional 25 from the Baldwin Loco motive Works, at Philndelphia, will soon follow, making one of the largest orders ever given by a single company. The new machinery is now being placed in the mammoth shop building just 'erected here by the Southern, though it will take several months to complete the work of setting up and placing same. The pieces attracting the most attention are the large elec tric cranes which will have sufficient strength to lift an engine weighing 150 tons andxarry it to any desired point in the building. The new electric plant being installed by Chief Electrician W? S. Sweet will furnish lights as well as motor power for the entire grounds. About one dozen large arc lamps will be used to illuminate the main building which is 000 feet long and 159 Jeet wide. President Samuel Spencer and a num ber of other Southern Railway officials passed through Spencer at 7 o'clock this morning on a trip South. The par ty traveled in their prospective private cars and occupied berths when the train stopped at the station here. The special train bearing the distinguished officials was brought from Monroe, Va., to this place by Engineer A. E. Rowzie one of the safest engineers on the sys tem. Mr. M. P.

Shades of our sires! Newton News. . A WEEK 0E WAR. Nothing has Happened to Change the Aspect of the Situation. The momentous developments looked for in the military situation both in the vicinity of Mukden and at-. Port Arthur are still held in abeyance, so far as the i outside world is informed: but there are indications of activity around the latter point. The Russians contin- ue to give it out at St. Petersburg that it is not their plan to make any determined stand at Mukden, which appears to be done to pave the way for a general retreat to Harbin, the next town of impor tance to the North, about 300 miles distant. This course would oe a material aa vantage to ine jap- an ese, 1 f t be story sent by a cor respondent with the First Japanese Army is trustworthy and there is little reason, to doubt it. He says that Harbin is in a section which produces little in the way of food for man and beast, while Mukden is nearly the center of the fertile portion of Manchuria. On this account, the Russians would be compelled to bring-all their supplies in over the railroad, while the Japanese would have the ad- vantage of the crops of grain and other foodstuffs grown around their camp. Along with the announcement that the Czar's government would i 111. put another large army in the field and take vigorous measures to drive the Japanese from Manchu ria, comes the statement from Tokio that the present finances of Japan can stand another year's war without embarassment, which cnnivtci inliAn'4- 4-lv nnvAAi f ovjijjo iu luuivaiiC iiiau iuc uiuoucvu I foran early cessation of hosti ities IS indeed remote. lhe world at large seemes to be generally dis- posed to keep hands off, while peace rumors now and then bob to the surface, they attract little attention. The theatre- of war is indeed lo cated in a zone of activity so far as weather changes go. A few .snort weeivs ago the jtroops .were represented as fighting in a tem perature of over 100 degrees, while within, the past few days winter clothing has been issued and the temperature has descend ed within one degree of zero. This is riot a circumstance to what it will be, however, when winter really sets in, for in the vicinity of Mukden the average winter cold is said to be about 40 degrees below zero, and so hard does the ground freeze that entrenching operations in case of a winter cam paign would be well-nigh impossi- But a Small Thin?. - The. following is a o-ood hit of stire upon Republican opposition v - 0 " " v to the W atts bill.

A Bad Career Brought to an Aw ful End. The career of a young white man who had started out as a house breaker " ended :. rather tragically Friday morning, when Mr. Je rome Kcnnedy.shot and killed Er win Bullin, a young white man, of Winstbh-Salem, who was try- ngf to enter his store. The re- mains of the white man arrived in the city on No. 36, Friday at noon and were forwarded to Winston- Ss4em on the afternoon train. Bullin was said to be a member of a well-known family of Salem. Only about a week ago he left his home and embarked upon a career that t ended in his death. Some time during Thursday nisrht he entered the store of Moore Bros., at Thomas ville and secured some change arid tobacco. After hav insr robbed this store earlv vester- day morning he went to the store of J. CL TTenn v -rWi nOTf door to Moore Bros. , and tried to train entrance , Mr. Jerome C.

GLENN'S REPLY Quotes Life of "Benton" to Sus tain "Brutal Barbarism" Charge. Asheville, N. - C, Sept. 28. Hon. R. B. Glenn, Democratic candidate" for governor : of North Carolina, replies to Mr. Roosevelt's denial yesterday to THomas S. Rollins, chairman of the State Re publican Executive Committee, of charges, made by Mr. Glennl in a speech here Monday evening. In his speech Mr. Glenn stated that President Roosevelt had said that ustrains of course brutality ran through the Southern people." Mr. Glenn referring to page 161 of Mr. Roosvelt's "Life of Ben ton," coppyrighted by Mr. Roose velt in 1886, finds "Mr. Roosevelt uses the following expression: slavery was chiefly " responsi ble for the streak of coarse and brutal barbarism which ran through the Southern character." Mr. Roosevelt's denial to Chair man Rollins was "that the state ment was absolutely false." IN STATE AND NATION.

THE SPIRIT OF ANARCHY. The Failure of Parents to Con ' trol Their Children a Prime Cause. . The North Carolina Christian Advocate says this excellent thing of incorrigible and insubordinate children: The most of our troubles, how ever, are the result of lax govern ment in the home. The anarchy which threatens the peace and or der of society besins about the fireside." Neither school authori- ties nor civil government can cope successfully with the spirit of law lessness that has been tolerated if not nurtured in the horae There is serious reason to fear" that the greatest peril of our time is thev inevitable anarchy resulting frora- lnsubordination which ' character izes, we fear, the majority of our homes. The fact that parents urge" Dr. " Winston and other college " presidents to use forcq vith their.-, boys may indicate only that they now see their necessity of a dis cipline which they have not been willing to undertake in the home. It will be in vain for them to urge him to resort to "hickory sticks" in managing boys that they were not willing to control with a tiny switch but a few years ago. The remedy for-" anarchy is in'- tke home, where parents are per raitted, in the order of providence, to reign supreme.
