WAST AFT BEHIND THE TAFT
BOOtS.
Mr. Thos. J. Pence, Washing
ton correspondent of the Raleigh
News and Observer, send the
following to today's issue of that
paper-
The stitement was made here
today by a friend of (Butler and
Morehead that the meeting of
the Republican State executive
committe in Greensboro yester
day was called at the sugges
tion of President Taft for the
purpose of endors;ng thepresent
occupant of the White House
for re-nomination. The reason
assigned for Mr. Taft'e interest
in this matter is that he wanted
the Republican organization of a
P Southern State to inaugurate
the moyement, demanding his re
nomination
The President is not without
fear that Theodore Roosevelt is
a candidate for the nomination,
and according to my informant
he proposes to take advantage
of every opportunity and line up.
every possible agency in the
Republican party to bring
about his re-nomination. As the
story is given to me the Repub
lican organization in North Car
olina has first call in promoting
the Taft boom for & second nomi
nation. But that is the story of a
satellite of Butler and Mo:head.
Here is what another, Mr. Hill
publican, said of the meeting
at Greensboro yesterday;
"That was certainly a cheap
performance on the part of
B :i tier and tu fpjiowcr. ,. T&eyv
have been literally kicked out . of
i doors, and with the hope of
gaining the favor of the Presi
dent they offer him an endorse
fment, which they cannot make
good at the next Republican
State convention. They asked a
hundred thousand dollars in the
way of Federal patronage, and
have nothing but a lot of soiled
ribbon to offer in return. There
is nothing more certain than
that the next Republican State
convention will kick Butler and
his crowd off the political map.
They are a fine lot to Dromise
Mr. Taft anything. All they
want is the priviledge of putting
their crowd in office.
Now is a good time to take out
that insurance you have been
thinking about, and J. W. Nocll
will put you in the best Company.

Greensboro, Jan, 2 Jude
Spencer B. Adams, who attemp
ted tp commit suicide Sunday
nigh by cutting his throat with
a rzor, was reported at 12
olcWck today as remaining in
the semi-conscious state in
whch he was carried to Leos
hospital immediately following
the discovery of his condition.
The endeavor by Judge Adams
to do away with life followed
two weeks of unusual actions
and symptoms of despondency.
For the past week he has been
a patient at Keely institute.
No direct motive for the act
has been assigned and his friends
and relatives have succeeded in
maintaining close secrecy.
Judgfe Adams was well known
throughout the country, having
been for seyeral years, prior to
the election of John M. More
head, state republican chairman.
He was once a member of the
Indian claims commission in
Oklahoma, and was a lawyer of

Five Little Ckildren Wert Burned Ti
Detih Is Tkeir Beds Early To-day.
Pottsville, Pa., Jan. 2. The
five children of John Margasav-
age were burned to death in their
beds here early today.
The origin of the fire is credit
ed to a year' celebration by
boarders in one of the houses,
an upset oil lamp, it i is said,
starting the blaze. When the tfire
his wife ran into 'thft' Vtreet; an d
being unable to speak English
gave rescuers the impression
that there were no children in
the house and they made no
effort to enter the ' place. The
father, undmindful of the flames,
dashed back into his home but
failed to reach the little ones.
He was seriously burned.

The meeting adjourned to meet

in earnest and are anxious to see

The general opinion was that we
could not build good roads with
out money, and the only way to

Married at Gaffney, S. C.
A wedding of interest to many
in Roxboro and the County took
place in Gaffney, S. C, on last
Wednesday morning. Dec. 28th,
at the home of the bride's father,
the contracting parties being
Miss Bessie Kendrick and Prof.
R. H. Burns, Supt. of the Rox
boro Graded Schools. The cer
emony was performed by Dr. A.
M. Sims, pastor of the First
Baptist Church of Gaffney.
There were no invitations and
the marriage was attended by a
few near friends and relatives.
The evening before the mar
riage a pleasant reception was
held at the bride's home which
was attended by about fifty
guests.
The bride is one of Gaffney's
most popular and accomplished
young women and will be gladly
welcomed to the social circles of
Roxboro. The groom is too well
known to need commendation
here, for he is recognized as one
of our foremost young men. not
only educationally but along all
progressive lines.
Immediately after the mar
riage the happy couple went to
Charlotte, N. C and from there
to the home of the groom's pa
rents at Pittsboro.
