t ' operating yesterday by Sheriff Honey-

house, together with sight boebels of
4 BaaL : The officers got wind of the
' p. ' fact that Fraley was operating a still
ia No. towmhip, near the So. 7
iurn, and went down yesterdsy after
V. - nooa make the eeptnre. They
. found Fraley operating -the still a
; short distance from aft. Olivet ehnrch
' . in.No. 0 township. He offered no re
sistanea and the still, cap and worm
' " were taken. The still is a small one
of about ten gallon capacity and the
officers are of the opinion that it has
. . been in operation there for only a
, abort time. No liquor waa found near
. the place, although there was about
' eight gallons in the process of manu
facture when the still was seised.
Fraley, was given a preliminary
. 1 bearing before 'Squire Lore. He
- waived examination and was bound
- over to court under a $200 bond.
The arrest of Fraley yesterday pro
. i duced no little discussion here of the
,' famous Jrial about thirty years ago
.when he was tried in this county for
- . the murder of Revenue Officer Walk
,j er,. which crime occurred in Stanly
te county, where Fraley was then con-
- ducting aa illicit still. The feeling was
ao intense in Stanly that the trial was
,- moved to this county and was one of
: the hardest fought legal battles con
;. ducted here. Ex-Judge Montgomery
; and the lata Mr. John W. Mauney, of
. Salisbury, represented Fraley and Bx
. Judge F. I. Osborne, then solicitor,
4 H. 8. Puryear and the late Samuel J.
' Pemberton, of Albemarle, represented
. the State. Fraley was found guilty
; only of manslaughter and sentenced to
twelve years in the penitentiary. He
. . emd hi time and was given 13
., mtatJa' good behavior. .JLfier re
' "'gaining his freedom ha went to bis
home, in Rowan county and his first
act after "reaching there was to walk
- a distance of thirty miles and thank
rone of bu attorneys, as be said, lor
saving his life. .
! Since that time he has been living
in Bowan county and from reports he
: has always been mora or less con
nected with blockading liquor.

A Buy Season for tha Farmers. Mr.
Ooodnan mot to Bo Co-Principal.
Barataal Neva.
Tba present season is beyond all
question ona of tba busiest that ever
cornea ihia way. The fanners sre
working over time gathering in a
bountiful harvest, one of the largest
this section fass ever produced. Some
threshing baa been dorte and the grain
ahowa up well. In the meantime corn
and cotton sre going after their grow
ing records, and if present conditions
continue a' new record in tba develop
ment of plant life, will be set. A
gentleman told na yesterday that one
coton plant grew two and three-fourth
inches in twenty-four hours by actual
measurement. Not being a cotton far
mer we eannot speak authoritatively,
but it looks like this is growing some.
One of the best features of the sea
son is that General Green and his for
ces have been unable to make serious
trouble at a critical time. His atti
tude at present is somewhat threaten
ing, however, but the fanners bare
their guns primed for an attack at
any time. Garden and orcard prod
ucts are very short.
In our letter last week we stated
that Rev R. A. Goodman, the newly
elected pastor of Holy Trinty, church,
would be associated with Prof. G. F.
McAllister as co-principal of the Col
legiate Institute. This is misleading.
Mr. Goodman wil be a member of the
faculty of the Institue, the nature of
bis work haa not not yet been an
nounced, but he will not be co-principal.
Prof McAlister will be sole prin
cipal of the Institue as heretofore.
The outlook for next session is unus

address, in which be proclaimed the

Dr. Clifford jook a decided stand
against any unity of organization
among the Christian churcbes.
"We rejoice in the effort now be
ing made on behalf of unity of the fol
lowers of Jesus Christ," he said,
"and gladly co-operate with these en
deavors. We should hold ourselves
guilty if we ereated or upheld any ec
clesiastical division on mere techni

details of the practice of churches.
But with equal frankness we say that
a visible, formal and mechanical unity
has no charm for us whatever."
Many Think the Race Will Narrow
Down to Bimmona and Kitchen.
The Washington corespondent of
Monday's Aaheville Gazette-News of
Monday has the fblolwing:
The majority of the people of North
Carolina are rather slow to crawl on
any particilfar candidate's bandwagon
just yet, so far as the senatorial race
is concerned. With more than a year
intervening before the state democrat
ic convention can call a primary or
two primaries, for the matter, it will
take both, it now, seems to decide
what candidate shall be the nominee
many of the peoH are doing o lot of
thinking bui sitting still. Every now
and then one hears some one like Gov
ernor Jarvis, climbing on the band
wagon of- Ex-Governor Aycock and I
a trip out in the bushes and bring in
reports that the country has gone for
Aycock. This may or ii may not be j
t rue but from careful observation it '
seems that much depends upon this ex-
Ira sesion .of congress. One promi
nent gentleman remarked today:
"If reciprocity shold be enacted
and farm products should go tumb
ling, as they are wont to do sometimes,
then there would be a powerful cor
responding rise in Senator Simmons
stock." This gentleman said khat
people had beter wait for a while be
fore passing out their judgment too
strongly. This gentleman was of the
opinion (hat a year from now some
people might be lookinug for things
just a little differently, and not at all
to the disadvantage of Senator Sim
mons. We respectfully ask 'those friends
who telephone to The Times and
Tribune office to give the message to
the one who answers the 'phone,
whenever it is possible to do so. Of
ten some one else is asked for in the
office, who is very busy, and is oblig
ed to stop and go to the far end of
another room to answer a message
whicb could just as easily have been
answered by the one first at the
'phone. This office is a busy place,
and minutes count. Observe this,
please.
