In what is declared the supreme ef fort in oratory in Pawling School, at Pawling, N. Y., a declamation itthat stirred his Northern hearers as they had never been stirred by Northern eloquence, Thomas Dixon, Jr., son of the famous Southern author, won the flrst prize for oratory in an unpre cedented manner last week. His sub ject was a condensed version of Char les Gaston 's speech before the Demo cratic convention, taken from' "The Leopard 's Spots, ' ' and some sentences from " The Clansman. ' ' Young Dixon is 18 years of age. His speech was a startling novelty to a Yankee audi ence and swept the judges off their feet. Dixon threw himself into it wrah Are and passion and 'his Northern judges forgot . to grade 'him on the technical points of oratory. When he sat -down in a whirlwind of applause they had not made a mark. They just gave itiim a hundred, awarded the medal without discussion and devoted their time to figuring out the fellow who was entitled to the second prize."

At the end of the Druid Hills street car line, a lonely spot in the outlying section of one of Atlanta's residential suburbs, three negro highwaymen Sat urday night shot and killed Motonnan S. T.

The Chronicle's Marathon Race. The Marathon -race from Newells to Charlotte, gotten up by the Charlotte Chronicle winch took place last Sat urday, created more interest in Char lotte and vicinity than anything which has ociurred there lately. The dis tance was 8 1-3 miles, and the 'winner, Emory P. Enzor, made it in 50 min utes and 8 seconds. The second was Archie Templeton, who covered the distance in 67 minutes and 53 seconds. There were 13 runners in all, and the time taken by the slowest one was 76 minutes and 38 seconds. Enzor, the winner of the first prize, is quite an experienced runner. Last year 'he won the inter-city race be tween Washington and Baltimore, a distance of 26 miles. Enzor, however, is purely an amateur and hence entire. !y eligible to this race. He is book keeper for Swift & Co. Concord a Well Lighted City. The electrical arch at the Allison corner 'has been completed.

The city will pay the expense of these ex tra lights. Tuberculosis Sunday.

Pence, Washington correspondent of the Raleigh News and Observer, sends the following in teresting ijtuff to that paper of Satur- George H. Brown will not relinquish his job as collector for internal revenue for the Western North Caro lina district without a fight, notwith standing the fact that the Republican bosses in the State have arranged with President Taft for his retirement to private life. Mr. Brown is game, and has bid defiance to Congressman Cowles and National Committeeman Duncan, who made the recommenda tion that resulted in the appointment of Henry Reynolds, of Wilkes, by the President. Today Senators Simmons and Overman received letters from the collector asking that the appoint ment be held up until he can present his case at the White -House. Mr. Brown complained that he had been denied a hearing by Congressman Cowles, and he also takes offense at the secret methods that were used to bring about his removal. Of course, Hie North Carolina senator will see that Mr. Brown is given a hearing, and his request that the nomination be held up went into effect today. The nomination will not be acted upon for some days. Congressman Cowles is not having the most restful sort of days. He is threatened with defeat for renomina tion by Frank Linney, according to report here. While Collector Brown is not strong politically, he has a son-in-law who is a big Ike in Republican politics in the Eighth district. Ref erence is made to -Clint Wagner. To day Congressman Cowles telegraphed for Wagner to come to Washington. It is said that Cov.-les is alarmed as the result of the protest resulting from the decapitation of Collector Brown, and has determined to make peace with the family by offering Wasriier the postoflice at Statesville The job is held by J. W. C. Long, who can also cause trouble if put to the test. There is "a story 'here to the effect that while Cowles is trying for a renomination, he is without hope and anticipating defeat, he has arranged to srrab the colleetorship tor his own immediate use. Acording to this re port Reynolds is only to serve a few months after the retirement of Brown, and that the appointment of Cowles will be announced along about the fourth of March next, when he will be out of a job.
