The following from The Wilkes- boro Chronicle, is a premature explo sion on the part of Bob Deal: ' ' They intend making things lively at Wrightsville for the press assooia l ion. We have received an invitation to a' Special Favor Dance' given at Lnraina, in honor of the occasion, We have just received requests from Joe Daniels of the News and Obser ver, Bufe Clark of The Landmark, tiarry Martin of The Watagua Jjemo- crat, Mr. Kluttz of The Charlotte Ob server, Earle Godbey of The Asheville Gazette-News and Jim Cook of the Jackson Training School, wanting our services to teach them the 'Wilkes- step' o that they may appear on the occasion with distinguished advant- and harmonious rhythm." Howard Banks, of the Hickory Democrat is also a member of this team and we 'suspicion' that he bribe Bro. Deal to keep it quiet. To add a further detail, now that the feline has been released from the poke the disaster will be referred by Hon. Ab Payne of Little Alex. The execu- tii of the 'Wilkes Step' by this ag gregation, under the tutelage of Bro. Deal, we may further add, will be to us a felicitous expression that we have come across somewhere, the most interesting and sensational exe cution of the season. It will Je the crowning social, artistic, acrobatic and tersichorean event of the entire meeting. Kidnapped Court's Child. Charlotte Observer, 8th. Tinder the cover of darkness and with his 20-month-old babe in his arms. Walter R. Whisnant fled the States Monday .night during the hear ing of a habeas corpus proceeding in stituted by Mrs. Lelia Whisnant, the pretty mother and -wife for the pos session of her child. Considerable excitement prevailed at the court house when it was learned, early yes terday morninsr that Mr. Whisnant had kidnapped his child and every de velopment through tne nay was waton- ed with keenest interest. The case is becoming one of the most sensational of its kind in the history of the county. Late Tuesday afternoon Chief Chnstenburv received a reolv to ins warninsr and found Mr. Whisnant and his hild at Clover, S. C. Thinking he had gone to 'his home, his mother, Mrs. Turner left yesterday about noon and when she reached there, found the father and his little son. An ar rest va made bv the chief of roolice at Clover. S. C. Mr. . Whisnant refuses to return to this county and Solicitor Clarkson was notineu. 'tie witnqrew the request to the Governor for a reward and. asked that requisition pa peis be sent at once for his removal. Strong Fight Against Confirmation of Davidson Postmaster. The people of Davidson, Mecklen burg county, are np in force against the confirmation of William A. Howell as postmaster of their town. Charges were tiled s against - turn Monday. Among" other things he is charged with being a journeyman office-seeker and with having debauched a member of his .own family. The papers in the case. 'were sent to Senators Sim mons and Overman by prominent cit izens of Davidson. If the allegations are true .and they are backed with af fidavits, Howell stands no Show of confirmation.' , Chairman Adams' and ' National Committeeman Duncan both endorsed Howell for the office. They, it is said, got their cue from the county chair man. This appointment is "water on Congressman Webb's wheel. ,'.v ' William Sidney Porter Dies In Mew ; William Sidney Porter,' known best under his pen name of, "O Henry" as the writer of Short stories, died Monday at Polyclinic tospual, in New York City. ;- He underwent au oper ation last Friday and neve? tallied. The nature of his ailment was wot made known, . 'v' ' Mr. Porter was born in Greensboro, N. C, 46 years ago and began his journalistic career on the Houston Post. Before he had been cowboy, sheep herder, druggist and an exten sive traveler. The general pnblie knew little of his private life, for he shunned interview and was content to eb kpown merely through his "writ ings as "O Henry." AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY TO THE RESCUE. Giant Company Takes Over On Mil lion of the Stats Bonds (Bankers are Expected to take Care of Bal ance of $1,111,000. A bid for $1,000,000 of the North Carolina forty-year 4 per cent. re funding bonds received Tuesday after noon from the American Tobacco Company saves the State from the necessity of assambling the Legisla ture in extra session as called through the recent proclamation of Governor Kitohin for June 14. Thus is the view that is taken here in of ficial and business circles, there be ing no doubt that the conference of the bankers of the State tomorrow with the Governor and Council of State, along with the other outside bids that will be in hand for the final sale Friday, will easily take-uri the entire $2,111,000 remaining oli roll cf Councils. the total of $3,43U,U0U issue after tne first sale of $1,219,000 before the call was issued for the Legislature. The American Tobacco Company bid leaves only $1,111,000 to be taken care of by the conference of bank ers tomorrow and through other bids that are coming in to be opened Friday. In a statement just issued by State Treasurer Lacy, he says he does not expect that the Legisla ture will have to be called together after all as North Carolinians can al ways be depended upon in a crisis and that he is satisfied that when he opens bids Friday all the bonds need. ed will be subscribed for. Further more, that he is proud of the fact that people of small means as well as the 'wealthy are bidders. Mr. Lacy's statement also serves notice that there is no probability of the interest rate on any part of the bond issue being changed from 4 per cent to a higher rate and that if tbe Legislature should be called together at all, (which it seems cer tain it will not now) it would only authorize the borrowing of money sufficient for taking care of the bonds falling due and not covered in the bond sales made. This money is issued at not more than 4 1-2 per cent, for twelve months and in the meantime there would be not the least trouble in marketing whatever. bonds t bere are left on hand at this time. Governor Kitchin returned to the city today from Dare county and will be on hand for the conference with the hankers tomorrow. He had not learned of the million dollar bid received when he reached Raleigh. Arrested on Suspicion. Nicholson Wheeler, a Frenchman, who has ben in this county since last December, was arrested yesterday up on information given out by several citizens of No. 10 township, where he makes his home, upon suspicion as being Joseph Wendling, wanted for the murder of Alma Kellner, an eight year old girl of Louisville, Ky., whose body was found under a school house, literally hacked to pieces. Wheeler is a native Frenchman and has been in this county since the 13th of last De cember. Wendling, the man wanted for the murder is also a native of France and the description of him sent out by the police was the cause of the arrest of Wheeler, whose de scription is somewhat like the one of Wendling, although he differed in nearly every important part of the description of Wendling Wheeler has also been in No. 10 township a month before the murder 'was commit ted. After being detained at pqlice headquarters for about two hours he was allowed his liberty and went back to his home in No. 10. On December the 8th, 1909, Wend ling assaulted and killed Alma Kell ner. a child eight years of age. The body was literally hacked to pieces and found, partially creamated. in the cellar of a school house, in Louisville. This was ' the1: most atrocious crime ever committed in that city. A reward of $6,000.00 is offered. for .Wendling 's arrest and conviction. ? : X - Southern Officials Here. Division Superintendent H. L. Hju- gerford, General Superintendent W. M.
