Charlotte, M & WilKam P, Ewart committed suicide and thereby. by the poll of a trigger, ended Sun day night a married Ufa of two weeks duration, said to have been preceded by a eourtahip of seven years. A mo ment previous he had returned from attending a church service with Jiis wife, who waa with Mm in their room in Seversville, where ho opened bis trunk, took from it the pistol,, exe cuted hia deed of self-deetruetion and fell into the arms of his bride. ; The young man waa 21 year of age. He waa the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wal ter Ewart, of the vicinity of Huntero ville. . Hia father and mother had vis ited him' during the day and it waa remarked upon last night that in bid ding hia mother good-bye jnst prior to her departure for her home at dusk he was unusually demonstrative and gave many evidences of affection and of regret at the parting. Evidently, therefore, the act was not tho result of a momentary impulse, but had been a subject of some consideration and perhaps of torn days' brooding. "Ton don't love me any more as yon used to do." This remark, says Mrs. Ewart, was made to her by ber husband. That remark vivos the only due to the motive, with its intimation that young Ewart believed he had cause to be jealous. "Oh, yea I do," the bride of two weeks says '(hat she made answer. He made some disparaging remark, too, about the "hobble skirt" he said his' wife was wearing, criticising her taste in buying it. The suicide occurred so quickly that northing could be done to prevent it. Death occurred speedily. Coroner Ho vis, Patrolman Walter Orr and others who went to the scene found the body lying in the middle of the floor of a room to the north, near a pool of blood. "Now for North Carolina."

It is rather intereatina; to a South- traer to observe the antics that tho good people of Canada - and their northern friends just serosa tho line are cutting op over tho threatened invasiona of the Peace river section of Canada by Southern aegro farmers. About 200 negroes with their families and stock and farming - implements have also ready settled in tho neigh borhood of Edmonton, and the report is eurrent that 5,000 more black far mers are preparing to move into that section. This report is -what has stirred things up. Tbo Canadians don't want the negroes as hungry as they are for immigrants, an dtbere is talk about legislation to keep the negro out. - In the north a few negroes are welcomed and even petted as ser vants, butTwhen it comes to building a settlement and making a permanent home they get about the. same reeep-1 tion as they are getting in Canada. In both places the race generally is held responsible for the crime of one individual. All of this goes to show that the industrious netro is better off on the South than anywhere else in this coun try. The Southern man understands him and gives him more real encour agement than he receives elsewhere. If a negro in the South is intelligent and industrious enough to accumulate property, it 'a all right, and no white man will envy him. The Southerner is no false friend to the engro, but after all he is the best friend the negro has. Bailey Talks to Veterans, Washington. June 5. Ssnntor Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, address ing m garnering or uonredcrate veter ans tonight, declared that if the two races are to live in peace in this country, it must be with the black race in constant recognition of its in- ienonty. Speaking of Jefferson Davis, in ob servance of whose birthday the gathering was held, Senator Bailey said he was less responsible for the conflict between the States than any other man and was the last man in all the South to abandon the hope of arseoneflatidfi; r---" -- . c " "The truih of history was with the Confederate people,' ' said ibe Sena tor. "The fathers would never have formed this Union if they had not believed that it would be dissolved for cause. If the Southern people bejieved they could not raroin 6a the Union with honor and safety they had a right to secede." There was applause when Senator Bailey presented an aged negro, James A. Jones, who had served as Mr. Davis' body servant. "He is the only man living," said Senator Bailey, "who knows where the seal of the Confederate States is, and he won't tell." Many shook hands with the old negro, who had Jefferson Davis' cane with him. Bank of La Orange Closed. Raleigh, June 5. The Bank of La- Grange, established in 1906 andiiav ing $10,000 capital, with J. R. Woot en as president and L. F.

A Moat IatoreoUng Article Giving Is - formation About Thia Terrible Disease. Rabies is a diseaae of all animals but most prevalent in the dog because tbey are mor esubjeet to inoculation. Most people think of the disease as one wherein the animals froths from the mouth and bites at everything he comes in contact with, this however, is not the condition in the majority of eases. There are two forms of tho disease, vis: Dumb and Furious. The former is the most prevalent and to the cas ual observer nothing abnormal la no ticed about the animal until the last stage when ho is noticed to bo para lyzed. The furious form is recognized at once because attention is directed to the salivation and great irritabil iiy of the animal. Rabies is caused by the animal be ing inoculated with a virus, and can not, as some think, occur sponta neously lose sight of the fact that dogs are very frequently inoculated "y eating rabbits, mice, aquirrels, etc., that are anected with the disease. This is perhaps the most common way in which dogs become inoculated. Town dogs often become inoculated by being bitten by stray1 dogs, because a dog with the disease will often trav el as far as forty miles in a day. As a preventative, all dogs not wearing tax lags should be destroyed. This would do away with strays. As a preventative for persons hav ing been bitten by a dog, the animal should be immediately killed and 'he head sent to a laboratory where a microscopical examination of the brain can be made and if lesions of the disease are found the Pasteur treatment should at once be resorted to because a person cannot afford to take chances of becoming a victim of this terrible malady. The period elapsing before a person will develop the disease after being inoculated varies. The nearer to the brain the inoculation occurs, the soon er the disease will be likely to de velop. It has been known to develop within twelve days while other eases have gone one year before symptoms were manifested. About 80 per cent, of persons bitten by rabid animals, wjiodo not take the Pasteur treat metuV dTe of Ihe disease whlTe The mortality of those having taken' the treatment is less than one per cent.

Sometime ago a litle boy who could not see over the counter went to the bank and asked to get some change. Cashier W. C. Stack asked him why he didn't put bis money in the bank and save it.
