No one can be found here who will say a good word. for Murphy, unless it is that he was a fairly decent sort or a barber. unuwmg account of the mans trial before Mayor Boyden at baiisbury has been received at this omce: "Charged with conspiring to blow open and rob the Wachovia bank at Spencer with the assistance of a gang of yeggmen, George Murphy, a well- known young white man of Salis bury, was given a preliminary hear ing before Mayor A. Hj Boyden here yesterday and bound over to Rowan superior court. In default of a $1,000 bond he went to jail. Detective Frank Woodard, of the Unuited States secret service depart ment, who worked up the case, no tified the officers and warned the bank officials, was the only witness examined. He testified that ten days ago Murphy proposed to him to rob the bank, saying he would get the necessary help if Woodard would help. Five other unknown men were taken into the confidence between the robbers, but when the" night for at tack came one man failed. Woodard testified that Murphy re fused first the purchase of nytro- giycerine as being no goqd. Murphy waived examination in one case,' but plead not guilty to the charge oi con spiracy. The case was so clear, however, that Mayor Boyden bound him over. The tools and other material cap tured on the night of the arrest of Murphy were exhibited in the court and created much interest.

A great deal has been said about that "six-weeks-old baby" that was left with the old colored woman, Mary Tatum, at Greensboro the nine teenth of last month.

The Colonel May Have Inadvertantly iaue an Offer That in Strick Ac cordance With Theory and Laxv Cannot be Caried Out Whole Thing is Probably a Joke. New York, Sept. ,23. If Mr. Bry an s mule "Minnamkscof should be held by competent kuthority to be a vatuauie ming," his offer of the an. imal as a prize to the election district or jpreclnct which makes the best showing for the Democratic ticket in the coming presidential election would- appear to be an infraction of the Corrupt Practices act of the state of New York. Perhaps similar acts of other states also will .apply to the offer. This was the bombshell that Her bert Parsons hurled intd the political melange today. It was conceded lat er at Democratic national headauar. A . ... - i ters mat It was eminently fair of Mr' Parsons to bring this matter to th attention of the public at the nrnr time, ana not keen the nmr.fin nominee in ignorance of the perilous position in which he had placed him. self in the eyes of the New York law, until it was too late to apply the reml edy. So Mr. Bryan is likely to withdraw his offer altogether or limit it to such states as have no corrupt practices acts.

Houpe, one of the pros perous farmers who lives out on the Buffalo Shoals road has received a copy of the Magnum Sun-Monitor, published at Magnum, Greer county, Oklahoma. Among other Items of news the paper contains the following: "At the Presbyterian church last Sunday the following deacons and elders were Installed: Deacons Wm. Burgess, Seth Mabry, Mark Pace, M. L. Sims. The Elders are G. W. Sims, J. J. Burgess, A. W. Duff and- J. C. Houpe." The Mr. J. C. Houpe referred to as having been elected one of the elders is a son of the Mr. Houpe mentioned above. He was raised in this locali- .j auu uas many mends and qualntances here. 4 Q ac- Gem Will Open Tonight. Manager Gregory of the Gem theater announced this afternoon that the amateur performance sched uled for tonight has been postponed owing to the illness of one of the Performers.

The Gazette says: ''Cotton Weigher Wilson weighed 66 bales of cotton Friday and 46 Sat urday. More than 46 bales were ginned in Gastonia on Saturday but quite a number were either taken back home by the owners Or were sold elsewhere in the county.

The mother, a pretty and educat ed young woman, is a member of a highly respected family of Catawba county. The father, a well-known young lawyer and a former member or the North Carolina legislature. Out of regard for their families, the names of the guilty couple have not been, divulged.

Streeter. superintendent of the North Carolina Childrens' Home Society was in New ton a short time ago to see one of the distinguished citizens there. Who is the man who posed as the husband of Emma? Again we ask why have not the papers at Newton printed this news? Is it right; that because of the fact; that a man is prominent. a lawyer, and a Jormer member of a state legislature, that his name should be withheld? Had this man been some poor dog his name would have been on every lip, and the newspapers at Newton would not control the price of cotton, by their lawlessness.
