CONCEDE WISCONSIN TO LA FOLLETTE. Senator Lenroot is working mighty hard for the Coolidge administration in W iseonsin, but lie is waging a los-1 ing battle and the administration otfi cfiUs know it. All along the Senator has urged the Republicans to support She administration against LaFol lette.. who swept the State in the pri ? maries and who is certain to be elect ed. Senator Lenroot comes up for election next year himself and he is striving now to mend his political ; fences so the administration will have ■ to back him. The administration will do that no doubt, but then there is so much doubt him succeeding. He has been very active in the campaign s against LaFollette and that may work I: against him when he enters the race ; again. pj At JJrst Senator Lenroot. urged P “regular” Republicans to support Roy fe P. Wilcox, the straight Coolidge cali fe. didate in the primaries. Wilcox ran | next to LaFollette but was badly beat -5 en at that. Now Senator Lenroot t wants the ‘ regulars” to support Ditli j . mar, who will run as an independent candidate, in the election. The administration may decide to i support Senator Lenroot next year K but at present it is content to let Wis £• COJlsin alone. This is plainly shown t in the attitude of Senator Butler. | leading figure in Republican circles. ! The Wisconsin Senator advises Sena tor Butler that he is fighting for the administration and needs help. He t- gets no help. ‘‘There are no funds or | speakers for the purpose,” Senator E Butler wires him, showing very plain u§ ly that the administration concedes | Wisconsin to LaFollette. ALL OK THE SOI TH’S REAL ES- I TATE VALL ABLE.

Out of this advance in land values alone hundreds of mil lions of dollars of real, tangible wealth ; will be made by the South and with ! this increasing wealth the people themselves will be able largely' to finance their industries and enterprises and thus share in the profit which will be made.” The nation is too poor at present to put out stamps bearing the picture of Woodrow Wilson. A few years ago the Hardiug stamps were issued but what with the economy program and everything the administration finds it hasn’t, enough money to issue the proposed Wilson stamps. A gov ernment officials explains that the Harding stamps were issued because Mr. Harding died in office and since Mr. Wilson had already retired to pri vate life when the end earned no stamps can be issued as a tribute to him. The fact that Mr. Wilson died after leaving the White House does not change the fact that he was a President of the United States. A dead President is a dead President whether he dies as President or a private citizen. TWO ARE WOUNDED IN A PISTOL DUEL Sensational Shooting Scrape Takes Place On Main Street in Bryson City. Asheville, Sept. 22.—Two men were wounded, one probably fatally in a pistol duel fought on the main street of Bryson City, seat of Swain county, last night. Troy Muse, rtf Asheville. Southern Railway engineer, is in a .local hos pital with two wounds in his body and A1 Dorsey, merchant of Bryson City.- is under medical attention there. Hospital attendants here to day expressed fear that Muse will net recover. Dorsey is believed not to be seriously injured, though he has a wound in the back. Varied accounts of the shooting are related. Muse claims the men agreed to make friends and as lie stepped forward to shake hands. Dorsey pulled his pistol firing five times. Muse got out his gun, shooting twice at Dorsey. Thp shotting ..sv(|* tin a crowded Street as people were leaving a motion picture theatre. The affray had its comic side. As the shooting began, several persons, thinking a raid was being staged, rushed to automobiles parked on the street and threw bottles containing whiskey into the street, officers said. The Bottom of Humau Depravity. Monroe Enquirer. Last Monday The Enquirer stated that “your uncle Clifford Fowler would get at the bottom of the matter” in regard to the mutilation of Turner Blanchard which occurred on the Charlotte road the night before. Well, "the bottom of the matter has been reached"—and indeed it is the bottom—of human depravity, ig norance and superstition. Saturday Blanchard made a state ment to Sheriff Fowler, which, too, as The Enquirer surmised, "would read like fiction," and .it does. The man who has been in the hospital for a week, told Sheriff Fowler that he mutilated himself. assisted by his step-daughter, which occurred about nine o'clock Sunday morning. There was no hooded band, no au tomobile, nor anyone present except Blanchard's wife and step-daughter. The whole occurrence grew out of a family row, the participants being of a low type morally and socially. Two or three newspapers of the State, not knowing conditions, have been somewhat critical of I'nion coun ty's officials in not “apprehending and bringing the hooded baud to the bar of justice.” For their enlightenment The Enquirer desires to state that Sheriff Fowler and his deputies have known all along that statements of the family in regard to the matter did not tally, and were not surpris ed when confessions were made. The newspapers should do the right tiling and apologize. Further, the persons involved in the mess recently came to f'nion county from Mecklenburg. They had also lived in Rowan anil are natives of South Carolina. Union county will not miss the Blanchards if they desire to go elsewhere to make their habitation.

TH* STORY THUS FAR Pieru Phillips, in Alaska with the rush o the newly discovered fold fields of the Yukon, hires him self out to carry packs across Ckil koof Pass to Linderman. On the treacherous, back-breaking trail he meets ’Poleon Doret, a giant Frenck-Canadian,. who offers him words of encouragement. Farther along he meets up with Tom Linton, an old man, whom he helps across the Pass. Tom asks him to share his tent at Linderman. Arriving there they find it occupied by a beautiful woman, Countess Courteau, she says sh - is. She asks that she be allowed to share their tent until the morning, on her way back to Dyea for more provisions. Phillips is hired by the Countess to carry her small pack back down the Pass to Dyea. The Countess has a strange fascination for Aim. She is beautiful and has the most matter of-fact manner he has ever encount ered in a woman. CHAPTER 111. (Continued) They picked their way down the drunken descent to the Scales, then breasted the sluggish human current to Sheep Camp. A group of men were reading a notice newly posted upon the wall of the log bui.ding which served as restaurant and hotel, and after scanning it Pierce explained: “It’s another call for a miner’s meeting. We’re having quite a time with cache-robbers If we catch them we’ll hang them.” The Countess nodded. “Right' They deserve it. You know we don't have any stealing on the ‘inside.’ Now, then. I’ll say good-by.” She paid Pierce and extended her hand to him. “Thank you for helping me across. I'll be in Dyea by dark.” "I hope we'll meet again,' he said with a slight flush. The woman favored him with one of her generous, friendly smiles. “3 hope so. too. You’re a nice bey. I like you.” Then she stepped into the building and was gone. ,“A nice boy 1” Phillips was pained. A boy! And he the sturdiest packer on the pass, with perhaps one ex ception! That was hardly just to him. If they did meet again—and he vowed they would—he'd show her he was more than a boy. He experi enced a keen desire to appear well in her eyes, to appear mature and forceful. He asked himself what kind of man Count Courteau could be; he wondered if he, Pierce Phil lips, could fall in love with such a woman as this, an older woman, a woman who had been married. It would be queer to marry a countess, he reflected. As Re. walked toward his tempo rary home he beheld quite a gath ering of citizens, and paused long enough td note that they were being harrangued by the confidence-man whC had first initiated him into the rubtleties of the three-shell game. Mr. Broad had climbed upon a raised lent platform and was presenting an •arnest argument against capita! mnishment. Two strangers upon :he fringe of the crowd were talk ing, and Pierce heard one of them lay: “Os coarse he wants the law to lake its course. Inasmuch as there isn't any law. He's one of the "The surest wav to flush a covey nf crooks is io whistle for old Judge Lynch,” the other man agreed. ‘Listen to him!” “Have they caught the cacho-rob l.ers?” Phillip- made hold to inquire. “No. and they won’t catch them, with fellows like that on the com mittee. The crooks hang together and we don't. If I had my way that’s lust what they'd do—hang together. I’d start in by bending a. limb over that rascal.” Phillips had attended several of these indignation meetings and, re membering that all of them had proved purposeless, he went on toward the McCaskey brothers’ tent. He and the McCaskeys were not the closest of friends, in spite of the fact that they had done him a favor —a favor, by the way, for which he pad paid many times over—neverthe less they were his most intimate ac quaintances and he felt an urgent desire to tell them about his unusual experience. His desire to talk about the Countess Courteau was irre sistible. But when he fav.cred the tent his greeting fell flat, for Joe, the older McCaskey, addressed him sharply, almost accusingly: "Say, it’s about time you showed up!" “What’s the matter?” Pierce saw that the other brother was stretched out in his blankets and that his head was bandaged. “Hello!” he cried. "What ails Jim? Is he sick?” “Sick? Worse than sick," Joe grumbled. “That money of yours is to blame for It. It’s a wonder he isn’t dead." “My money? How?” Phillips was both mystified and alarmed. Jim raised himself in his blankets an 4 “id. irritably: “After this you can run your own pay-car, kid. I'm through, d’you hear?” “Speak out. What’s wrong?” “Jim was stuck up, that’s what’s wrong. That’s enough, isn’t it? They bent a six-gun over his head and grabbed your coin. He’s got a dent in his crust the size of a saucerr .Phillips’ face whitened slowly. My money!

Phillips turned a startled face upon them. For a few moments nothing was said, and meanwhile the search of the tent went on. When Pierce could no longer remain silent ft* broke out; "There’s some mistake. These boys packed this grub from Dyea i and I helped with some of it.” ‘‘Aren’t you partners?” some one 1 inquired.
