DEATH OF MR. J. J. GARRETT.
Passed Away Early This Morning at
the Ripe Old Age of 81.
- Mr. .lolin J. Garrett, died thia
morning at 1 o'clock at the 'home
of his daughter, Mrs. II. M. Barrow,
after an illness of several weeks.
Mr. (Iarrett was born November 19,
1829, at his father's home in Kdge
cotnbe county and was the oldest of
six brothers, all of whom are now
dead. Mr. Garrett grew to manhood
on his father's farm and when quite
a young man he went to New York to
engage in business with one of bis
brothers. He and hi brother be
came associated in the Thomas Chat
terton Co., the ioneer wholesale
clothiifg house in New York. They
returned to their home in this State
on the last steamer allowed to pass
before the outbreak of the war. They
both volunteered in the service of the
Confederacy, but on account of an
asthmatic trouble he was given an in
definite furlough, after two wefts of
service in the army.
In 1801 he married Miss Henrietta
Williams, of Edgecombe county, and
to them six children were born, three
of whom survive, Mrs. H. M. Barrow,
of this city; Miss Kate L. (rnrrett, of
Kings Mountain, and Mr. Frank W.
(Jarrett, of Charlotte.
After the war he located on a farm
in Edgecombe county adjoining that
of his father. In 18"." he .moved to
Halifax and during bis residence here
his wife died. Like Mr. Garrett, she
too was the last of a family of six
children. The year after the death
of his wife Mr. (Iarrett' moved to
King's Mountain and engaged in the
mercantile business with two of his
brothers. He and his two brothers
were promoters, together with Mr. J.
H. McAden, of Charlotte, in erecting
the tirst hotel and in otherwise im
proving the property of All Healing
Springs. In 1882 he moved 'back to
Halifax county, where he was engag
ed in merchandising and farming un
til 1888, when 'he moved to lxninburg
and made his home with his daughter,
Mrs. Barrow. He moved to Concord
with Mrs. Barrow in 1892, and since
that time he has made his home bore.
Mr. (Iarrett was a man of many re
markable traits of character, and dur
ing the active part of liis life was a
leader in the life of the community
in which lie lived. He had been a
member of the Methodist church for
, over 40 years and always took an ac
tive interest in the work of his
church. He possessed a most remark
able memory, and during the latter
part of life he could quote texts of ser
mons he 'had heard when a young
man. Mr. (jarrett was a constant
reader of books and always showed
great interest in the current events of
the day, and in the late yearn of his
life, after his health had given way
he never failed to keep abreast of the
times. Mr. (iarrett 's one motto in
life was "Honesty" and lie often
remarked to his children that the only
epitaph 'he wanted when he was dead
was: "Here Lies an Honest Man."
The funeral service will be held tbis
afternoon at 5 o'clock at the home,
conducted by Rev. P. T. Durham ai.d
Rev. T. W. Smith, after which the re
mains will be sent to Tarboro on No.
12. and the interment made in the
old familv cemetery beside his wife.
Operatives Against McNinch.
The troubles of Samuel S. McNinch,
the would-be near Democrat and near
Republican candidate for Congress in
the ninth district, seem to accumu
late, says the Washington correspon
dent in today's News and Observer.
The uprising of the cotton mill man
ufacturers against his candidacy,
which has found expression in numer
ous letters to the press of the State,
is now being taken up by cotton mill
operatives and old line Republicans.
In fact the McNinch candidacy has
been received with so many expres
sions of disapproval that there is al
ready talk of calling off the candi
date, and the substitution of a reg
ular Republican in good standing to
make the race against Mr. Webb.
North Carolina Good Roads.
J. E. Pennybacker, the chief of the
good roads bureau in the Agricultu
ral Department, at Washington, lias
returned from a trip of inspection in
the Southern States, which took him
to Wrightsville, while the Stat Press
Association was in session. He was
pleased with the noticeable advance
North Carolina is making in the way
of road development, and had a good
word for the action of the State Press
Association in passing favorable res
olution. , Mr. Pennybacker 's depart
ment has received tentative reports
which show that between the years
1904 and 1909, the increase in good
toads building in North Carolina was
175 per cent. The showing is re
garded as an excellent one by Mr.
Pennybacker. s
' "Secretary Ballinger explains,"
' notes the Kansas City Star. ' Need
les to add, however, Messrs. Pindbot,
t aL, are somewhat bard o tearing.
INDICTMENT AGAINST
COTTON SPECULATORS.
Textile Manufacturing Companies
Named as Oo-Conspirators On
Local Firm Included.
A press dispatch says that the gov
ernment came out in the open Friday
in its attempt to prove that manipula
ting the cotton market is against the
law. James A. Patten, of Chicago,
and seven lesser figures in the spec
ulative Held have been indicted,
charged with conspiracy in restraint
of trade under the Sherman anti-trust
law.
Immediately the indictment was an
nounced there was an excited break
on the New York cotton exchange,
July and August deliveries declining
about $1.50 a bale.
Five counts are embraced in the
indictments, 'which is in blanket form
and contains 10,000 'words. The first
count charges that the defendants
unlawfully did conspire with cer
tain corporations not herein indicted
to "demand arbitrary, excessive and
monopolistic prices for cotton
Many mills in Georgia, North and
Sou tli Carolina and Alabama are men
tioned as co-conspirators, though not
included in the indictment. There are
only three of these from North Caro
line, namely:
Cannon Manufacturing Company,
Concord; Henrietta Mills, Oaroleen;
Mecklenburg Manufacturing Com
pany, Charlotte.
Describing the inside workings of
the alleged conspiracy the indictment
says that the conspirators 'were to
become members of and engage in
an unlawful combination in the form
of an agreement under which they
were severally to purchase for ship
ment from the South to New York
all cotton not directly absorbed by
the demands of foreign and domestic
spinners and manufacturers in 'the
ordinary course of business; in other
words, as much as they could pur
chase from day to day without
seriouly enhancing the price, but
nevertheless, to such an extent that
they would long before the end of the
crop year, have so much cotton in
their possession in the city of New
York that they could "by reason of
the abnormal and artificial condition
thus produced in said trade and com
merce, severally demand arbitrary,
kxcessive and monopolistic prices.
None of the "conspirators," con
tinued, the indictment, was able to
finance the deal individually, thus
proving in the government's logic
"that none of the defendants was or
expected to be a spinner or manu
facturer and had no use for such
cotton other than to sell it."
Success of Test Farm Work.
It is interesting to note that in the
local test farm work nnder the direc
lion of the State Board of Agriculture
through which county commissioners
designate with sufficiently public lo-
cation and provide the cultivation
and the State Department provides
the expert supervision to demonstrate
farming methods in the cultivation of
various crops, the greatest interest is
being awakened and fine results be
ing attained. The applications for
these demonstrations plats have in
creased from two on file early in
the new year to over fifty at tbis
time and wherever the farms are
being cultivated the methods and re
sults are being closely watched by
the farmers of the section, showing
that this is to be at once probably
the greatest source of improvement
in fanning methods among North Car
olina farmers.

Pig Adopted by a Dog and Nurses
With a Puppy.
A constituent of the Lumberton
Robeson i an reports an unusual inci
dent. He savs that Mr. U. K. Mor
gan, of Robeson-county, found a pig
on his place that had been deserted
by its mother when four days old,
and when found the pig was so weak
it could not stand up. Mr. Morgan
tried to feed the pig, but 'without
much success, and finally put it in
the yard as a hopeless proposition.
Now in that same yard was a female
dog, the mother of a litter of pup
pies, and all save one puppy 'had
ben taken from her. She saw the
helpless pig and at once adopted it,
nursing and caring for it as if it had
been one of her puppies. The pig
at once began to improve and now,
at three weeks, old is doing fine.
The pig and puppy play together,
just as two puppies would. As evi
dence of the truth of the statement,
the Robesonian editor has been fur
nished photographs of the pig in the
act of nursing its foster mother.

Marriage in No. 4 Township.
On Wednesday, June 15, at 6
o'clock, p. m., at the home of the
bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. W.
Winecoff, near Glass, Mr. Arthur W.
Wineeoff and Miss Mertie Winecoff
were united in matrimony by the
bride's pastor, Rev. C. A. Brown.
Both groom and bride are well con
nected and popular young people.
Their many friends wish .them a long
and biappy life.
When we think of .an innocent, hon
est man like President Taft being a
Republican, we are almost persuaded
that Republicanism is more of a dis-
tharrit is a crime.

THE LUTHERAN NORMAL.
To Be Held at Misenheimer Springs
July 5- to 7 Inclusive.
The third annual Sunday school
normal of the North Carolina Luth
eran Synod and the North Carolina
Conference ot the Tennessee &ynod
will be held at Misenheimer Springs
July 5, ti and 7, sasy the Salisbury
Post.
Every arangement is being made
lo have the occasion a graud success.
The hotel and spring authorities are
putting everything in first class shape
and promise to give all that goes to
make the very best entertainment for
such an occasion. Board and all com
plete at tbe hotel wil be $1.00 per day
for all who attend the Normal. Cab
fare or conveyance from Misenheimer
station to the springs, a distance of
live miles, will be seventy-five cents
for the round trip. Ten miles for
seventy-live cents with the beautiful
scenery thrown in is cheap enough
for anyone who enjoys a ride in the
balmy air.
The splendid 'water at the sulphur
springs is itself worth fie price of
the whole cost. Then one enjoys a
splendid quiet and rest from the busy
scenes elsewhere. To this add the
advantages of a splendid course of
lectures and outline of study in reg
ular class room drill on Sunday
school work and workers, everything
moving along the lines of correct
pedagogical and psychological me
thods as employed in the school of
today, all conducted in a congenial
and inspirational atmosphere. It
can readily be seen that no Lutheran
can afford to he without representa
tion in the teacher-pupil body that
will gather at the place and time
named. Every Lutheran Sunday
school is urged to avail itself of this
line opportunity of increasing the effi
ciency of its teaching forces.
Since the Normal is self-supporting
no limit of representation is fixed.
Any school may send as many teach
ers as it will provide for. The more
i he better for the individual teachers
and fro the increased efficiency of the
schools.
The Hartis Verdict.
Charlotte Chronicle.
In view of the character of some
recent verdicts recorded in Mecklen
burg's Temple of Justice, the public
was prepared for something mild in
the 'way of a verdict in the case of the
lfartises. It was not prepared, how
ever, for what came a clear and full
acquittal. It had been expected that
it, would be acquittal for one and a
term for the other. In the face of the
charge delivered by Judge Pell, the
intelligent observer could not see how
the jury could get around a convic
tion, hut it did so, and brought in a
verdict that manifestly astonished the
people. It is "but stating a fact when
it is said that public sentiment has
received a shock. In this case, ac
quittal was based on the plea of self
defense. Many 'who heard the evi
dence do not believe there was any
ground for this plea, but the jury so
found and it did so in short order, and
its verdict stands. We are expecting
a shower of criticism and in meeting
itjue will be entirely defenseless.
Fight May Be at Reno.
Tex Rickard, the fight promoter,
yesterday announced tlhat the Jeffries
Johnson fight 'will positively take place
July 4, and if Governor Gillette and
Attorney General Webb insists on the
fight not taking place in California
it will occur at Reno, Nevada. Both
Jeffries and Johnson are anxious to
light on the day scheduled and are
ready to move at a minute's notice
to a place where the promoters can
pull off the bout.
The State authorities seem deter
mined to prevent the fight in Califor
na and wil doubtless succeed in their
efforts.
Crushed to Death Beneath Locomotive

Slat" I.ibrai-y
he lungs and
ir. Wire's strange ailment was be
lieved to have been the result of a
lightning stroke which grazed him
thirty years ago, when he was driving
a team of horses. The animals were
stunned and Wire was deafened for a
long period. Soon afterward he began
to develop insomnia and ten years
later he frequently would spend entire
nights without sleep.
During the height of his strange
malady he was engaged as night
watchman for the Lackawanna rail
road. During the day he would mere
ly recline on a couch, hut would not
close his eyes. In spite of inability
to get rest such as other people enjoy
Wire did not seem to be affected,
except that he lost a little in weight.
Throughout his recent illness he
was just as wakeful as ever, and it
apparently did not affect his vitality
seriously.
