Club is Formed -
Hon. Charles L. Abernethy. candi
date for congress from the third dis
trict, Tuesday" evening came home
and spoke to his fellow townsmen
and a number of visitors to the city
m behalf of his candidacy. The ad
dress was delivered on Middle street
near' the corner, of Pollock and the
crowd which heard him was various
ly estimated as rrnein? from five to
eight hundred people, ' the audience
at times dwindling and at others in
creasing. .. . , ' ,- ,
v There With the Oratory
Mr. Abernethy, as is well known.
is a political " ' speaker of no' mean
ability." Even his enemies, political
and .otherwise, concede that when it
comes down to a question of oratory
on this subject that he -has but few
equals in this part of the state and
fewer peers. He was -in his usual
form Tuesday evening and the ad
dress which he delivered was of the
usual Abernethy type, scathingly de
nunciatory of those opposing him and
extremely explanatory,.,'' in . ?tvjz
forth before the voters his past rec
ord, the present conditions and fu
ture prospects.- : ? ' r.
As an introductory r to1 the main
statement of his case, Mr. Abernethy
referred to the "Imported" speakers
brought ' to NEW BERN recently by
his opponent ! and 'who made short
talks against' him.. He picked out
Mayor Bain, of Goldsboro, William
Webb, of Morehead City, J. K. Dix-
Ion,", of Trenton and several others and
told why they were against him, pr
at least, why he thought they were.
Jn each instance, according to his
statements, th-entiemen . referred
to had been shown some favor by the
speaker and hence their attitude to
ward him.
Launching then into the main part
of his address, the speaker told of
his early life, of his trials and tribu
lations and ot his work for the party
He told of his.decision to enter the
race for 'congress, reviewed swiftly
the race against Hood and Dortch and
of the manner in which he was treat
ed during the primary and following.
Those who heard him were impressed
that his words rang true and that he
was convinced -that he was tellink
his audience the cold, hard facts.
It was not a new story to the ma
jority of those present, but there were
some who heard It for the first time.
apparently, and ? he made more or
less of a favorable impression upon
them. v
f In conclusion the speaker stated
that he had been-elected to the office
during , the first primary (? and had
been hoodwinked out of it and stated
that with the help of the democratic
voters he would be V- elected at the
approaching primary and declared
that he would appreciate any and all
sunnort given to him.
Following the address a torch
light parade to the court house was
held and there an Abernethy club was
formed, Mr. Homer Mann being elect
ed secretary while Mr. W. H. Simons
wms made president. Short talks were
made in behalf of Mr. Abernethy's
candidacy tiy a number of those pres
ent including Messrs Carl Daniels,
Jesse Davis, Henry Tolson and others.
Mr. Abernethy stated that he had
several other speaking engagements
to fill before the primary and it - ia
likely that he will again address a
local audience before that event.

On a Charge of
Desertion
DETROIT, May 26. The spirits
told Charles Wilson' to leave his wife
and he. did.
Mrs. Mina Wilson told Judge Kei
dan all about it at Wilson's trial for
desertion. The wife testified that her
husband had iong been interested in
spiritualism and belonged to the
"White Brotherhood of Truth." His
religion interfered seriously with his
home life, she said, and he left her.
He was arrested and brought back,
and things went well until last Feb
ruary. Then Tom LaVelley, a friend, went
to their homo and said: "I have
drawn, a circle and I find that you
should part."
Wilson had evidently anticipated
the spirits' advice, for he had his
suitcase packed. His wife, however.
became hysterical, and La Valley then
offered to draw "another line and
"bind them together in the spirit."
The spiritual bond appeared to be!
days later he left
i again.

Story Told to Carranza' '
"When Carranza reached Tlaxca:,
lantonga he was led by Herrero to
the hut where he was to sleep. Her-'
rero was with Carranza .when 'beds
in! this shelter were assigned to the
president and dais aides. General
Murgia, and other members of th.i
party were taken to different hov.sos
in-the village. ' Before retiring Cir
ranza ordered Captfcln, Suarez to
sfet-in p.lac5ng sentiiielB, all of wIkhh
hcic nmtriin 'wen. -, --
"Herrero later told Carranza that ,
a messenger had Informed him. his
brother -was injured, whereupon Her
rero left- the village, promising to
return. At 3 o'clock on the morn--ing
of, May ,21 three of Herrero's
men entered - the' president's hut,
stating they had been ordered to re-
port to him what the situation was,
adding; that nothing, new had , oc- -curted.
Carranza listened to the re-.
port and then told the men to leave.''
. The report says , this move was
probably for the purpose of ascer
taining if all. in the but were in bed
and whether Carranza had changed
his position. ' , - ..-
, L Attacked Frpm All Hides V i ' c
; !"IIalf an hour later the hut wa.
attacked from all sides.. ', President
Carranza was heard to cry, 'Ii can't
get up. My leg ia broken.' He then ,
begged for a carbine so he could de-
fend himself, but was answered . by
a volley which ended his life In-"
stantly. . . . . a ;.....,.:-., ''...-.-.
"The other occupants of the hut
fled, as did those in the other shel- .
ters, and there .was great, confusion
in the village. f
"Herrero, at the head of his men, -!
captured many of the party. . Four ?
or five of these persons, were' forced ;
to sign a statement that Carranza
had committed suicide. Thi state-.
men t was dictated by: Manuel Ber- '
langa and written by Paulino Fonles,
Director of the , Mexican National .
Railways." . . '.' '".'..'

that "a conspiracy, was prepared in
adyance by Herrero, which inspired
confidence In him.' by Carranaa and
ended in the president's betrayal.".
