The Demoeratie platform had promised legislation that would make the ex- lstenoe of these concerns impossible. and the enforcement of the law against the trust and the men behind . the trust.' To fulfill that promise was needed a trust law clad in blue um form that could raid a trust den with . a warrant and handcuffs in its hand.

He is situated twenty ..ilea from Mon roe, twenty miles from Concord and' fifteen miles from Albemarle., There is a large scope of country- over there in' the same fix, and in it the Nor folk and, Southern "road is' building through ' on its way to Charlotte. It is easy to imagine- what the coming of the railroad will ; mean to these farmers who have been, compelled to do their hauling so long aJdistance. Mr. Furr, for instance, will be in two miles and a half of the depot which will be nearest Locust, a mile and a half south of Big Lick, at C C. Furr 's store. The road runs from Mt.

Parts of the machinery were also badly damaged. The blaze was confined to the picker room and other depart ments of the plant were not damaged.

M Seeeoa Marked By Scarcity ef Birds ta Cabarrus. Hot aa Accident Marred the Pastime. The bird season flows today, ir being illegal to kill quail after thi date. Hunters state that the num ber of birds killed this season will not equal the nuuibvr that fell bcf.nr the guns in previous seasons. TiiU is due largely to the roaxon that Mp time limit to kill quail in this cv.it my has been greatly lessened and that the birds were not so plentiful this season. One hunter declares that not as many hunters have been in the fields this season as in former years. He also states that that there are aba fewer high class birds dogs in Cabarrus now thsn at any time since he has been a resident her. Form erly there were a number of people here who devoted mueh time to breed ing and training fine bird dogs but it seems that practice has been aban doned by the most of them. The most remarkable faet about the season in Cabarrus is that not a single accident has marked the pastime this year, neither a quail shooter or a chaser of the rabbit fall imr victim to an accident. During the Christmas holidays and Thanksgiving the woods and fiends were filled witn hunters and usually when there a-re so many guns in action the accidents happen, but this year fortune smiled upon the hunters in tins paniMiinr. The searcitv of the birds, the lmu ters saw is due largely to the fact that dogs are allowed to run at large at all seasons of the year and that they kill the birds, rob their nests, disrupt the pairs after they are mat tA Dim pxnerienced hunter "ives it as his opinion that five birds are kill ed in this way to one killed by a shot gun. ROCKEFELLER NOT TOO SICK TO TESTIFY. This is the Opinion of the Throat Specialist Who Examined Him. Washington, Jan. 15, -- William Rockefeller, the Standard. 11 ' mil lionaire, is not too sick t- testify briefly in the money trust, inquiry. This, is 'the opinion givea -today by Dr. Richardson, the committee's throat specialist, who examined Rock efeller at Miami Sunday. He said a long examination might be dangerous hut that he would be able to endure two. hours' ordeal on the stand on any matter of extreme importance without danger. Paul Gilmore Here the 21st in 'The Havoc." The attraction at the opera house for the 21st will be "The Havoc" in which Paul Gilmore stars. This play is a comedy drama. It deals with a situation all too common in this twentieth eentury and one that if al lowed to thrive uncbe.c,;ed, must in evitably sink the morality of nations to the lowest depth. As 'Mrs. Kate Craig, Miss Kathryn Hutchison fills a difficult role ibeyond criticism. With out rushing into melo-dramatics, Miss Hutchison faithfully portrays the wo man in the case as one would expect a woman of today to act under iden tical circumstances. Mr. Wm. Ie Yere, as Paul . Hearst, is also good, introducing into his part all that pol isli veneer, plausability, etc., charac teristic of the class of bomebreakers he is supposed to represent. Again let it be said the Havoc should not be missed. Beyond contradiction it brings light to bear on a question that is troubling thousands today. adv. Big End of Season Sale at Hoover's. On Thursday, January 16, Hoover's new store will . begin their End of Season ,Sale, during which they will sell all men s and boy s suits, over coats, pants, hats and underwear at one-third off the marsed prices. All the goods are new and of the latest styles, but they will not carry goods over from one season to another, and for this reason will make this big cut in price.
