The Senator has pulled through more situations thaa an attack of the measles caa cause and there is every reason to believe that he will be out with flying colors in the course of a few days. Says the Wilmington Star: The worst part about the death of General , Sickles is that modern journalism snade it the occasion of revealing all sad and bad episodes in an eventful life. He was an old man, but the days of his youth were recalled and every thing that could be remembered against him was printed as a part of his obi tuary. In the death of some men there is a story beginning with his earlier days on earth and ending with his last day on earth. One of the worst things for a man to have along about the time he dies is a past that follows him to the grave. Mr. Voter: The primary is to held tomorrow and you will have opportunity of casting a ballot for the man who you desire to represent this district in Congress. Take into con uderation the past good work of Hon Charles R. Thomas, think of the ad vantage his long affiliation with the Congressional body will five him and send to Washington a man who can and will do the district good. THEY WON'T TAKE A HALF LOAF I tie A. B. (. mediators are said to be considering a proposition for the government of Mexico which con templates the retirement of Hutrta and the placing of the govrnment into the hands of a commission of five men, two by the Constitutionalists amd a fifth chosen by the mediators. Among several objection which might be urged against this proposition the most obvious is that it hardly would oe accepiea oy larranza and Villa. irue, tney tnus would oe given a voice in the government equal to that enjoyed by. the Federals, assuming that the fifth member of the commis sion would not lean to either side. But we have no doubt, judging Car arnza and Villa by their course during the past month or two, that they will refuse absolutely to accept simply a voice in the government when they are in a fair way to have absolute control of the country, without having to share authority with anybody. The Constitutionalists are pushing a head towards the capital, nnd it it a matter of but a short time, unless all signs fail, when Huerta will be a fugitive, a prisioner or a corpse. With Hi.erta eliminated there world be no opposition to the Constitutionalist: worthy of the name. Carranza and Villa are not partiri pating in the negotiations looking to establishment of peace. They declined to send representatives, although it is stated that this invitation still is open. It is doubtful whether it will be ac cepted. It is entirely natural that itrranza ana villa should decline to enter upon negotiations looking to a half loaf when they are in a position 10 win me wnoie loai, ana that in a very short time. In a card in the .Onslow Progress, the Hon. Lige Koonce, erstwhile candi date for Congress, from Onslow, in timates that he is intending to pay his respects to several persons in this district a little later on. The Hon Lige is a heavyweight of the first water and we would advise those parties of whom, he is on the trail, to seek the tall timber at once if not "oncer." , 7 ' Mr. Voter .Today you will cast your oaiiot lor a . man to represent this district in Congress. Think well before taking the final step. T. Review the past.' work of ,the various eandi dates and vote for the man whom you know caa do things. Hon. Charles R. Thomas h such a' ma a. Send him o Congress and this district will be , well and faithfully represented. Tomorrow "morning wt confidently believe that, we will be able to assure tno cftuenj of this district that Hon. Charles K Thomas, candidate for Con trast from this district, will have beea nominated. v Indication, now point that way. and if his hundreds of ardent admirers will rally' to hit support there Is not the least doubt but thathe will be the fortunate candidate. ' s- CONCRESS"AND GOOD ROADS. Federal legislation comes thick and fast these days, and despite the fact that attention ia concentrated on a few important bills, there Is a feeling mo,g C or. resimen that it lakes aUiut so long fr a bill to work through, anyway. In- ii ' ifrd by one member of Congress, i mlucrd by another in the next f r Congress, Mint bills keep iroduced agaia and again "ul mm day they arc pa nsed.

A director would be empowered to appoint assistants ia the various states and territories to in spect the roads. Ia the bill, the roads are classified alphabetically from A to H and one Washingtoa wit insisted that they could get in all the rest of the Alp habet, including X, Y and Z, if the var ied cofKiitions ot country roads were classified. The bask purpose of the bill is to have the government provide a proposition of the cost of constructing the roads the cities and towns must do the rest Mr. Woodruff has given the matter a great deal of study, and insists that the government can build railroads in Alaska, it should be able to provide at least passable roads along postal high ways in our own country. The subject of "good roads" has now reached a point where, it is felt by many, something be ides "talking" should l;e done Says the Statesville Landmark Me who attain prominence inlifcarc subject to the same ills of the flesh that harass tne numDiest citizen. rot long ago Senator Simmons had a spell with a bad tooth and had to give up his duties in the Senate for a time on account thereof. Now he is down with a "bloomin" case of measles, a disease statesmen are sup posed to have endured in boyhood. In addition to. having the measles himself, the Senator has probably spread the disease far and wide, for he was stirring about the Senate while the fever was on him (not knowing what the trouble was) and the Senators and others with whom he came in contact, who. hav not naa measles, win protiaoiv nave cause to remember him in a couple of weeks or so. ANOTHER VICTORY JOURNAL FOR THE For the past five months the Journal has predicted that Hon. C harles R. Thomas would be nominated for Con gress from this district. Time and a- gain has it exploited the ability of Mr- Thomas, told of his real worth as a statesman and urged the voters to cast their ballots for him. Yester day the primary was held in the Third District and from reports received here last night there is no doubt but that Mr. Thomas has won. The other candidates put up a hard fight and it will be some satisfaction to them in their defeat to know that they and f heir friends did their best and put. forth evry effort to gain the desired end. In some sections of the district Mr. Thomas' first choice vote was not so large while in others it was all that could be desired and such as toassrrc him the nomination unless careful calculation has cone wrong. George E. Hood of Wayne co- my is a close second to Mr. Thomas and has polled many first and second rlii.nv votes all over the disctict and this shows conclusively- that he had main friends in all parts if the djtrit. Hoeer, there is every reason t- lelieve that Mr. Ihorr.uc' first choice votes are nuch more ni-rnerons than 1 ;e of the other candidates. FIVE THOUSAND SAIL FOR ALLEGED SLAYER MRS. VICTOR HALL TOLD TO LEAVE LOUISA COUNTY. (Special to the Journal) LOUISA, VA., May 16. Finally charged with the murder of her hus band, Mrs. Victor Hall was arrainged in the Circuit Court today. She was admitted to bail in the sum of $5,000, with the understanding that she leave the country immediately. She will probably remain in Richmond until the case is called for trial. Judge shackleford said, in releasing Mrs. Hall: '1 understand you have relatives in the city of Richmond. It . would probably be more comfortable for you there than anywhere else. Relatives of Mrs. Hall reside in Buckingham and Cumberland cou n tiea, It ia believed, however, that she will make a temporary home with her relatives in Richmond. It ia stipulated that Mrs. Hall may come to Louisa to consult with her attorney, R. Lindsay Gordon. She will not be allowed to visit her friends, not to remain other than for business with her counsel. .' '.. . ' Judge Shackleford set the second day of July" term the date upon the trial will begin. Mrs. Hall took tha decision of he Judge with cool- ! She had just reached the court house from the Xouisa Hotel, where she spent the night. '.s' Late yesterday aftrnoon Mr. Hall was arrested at Green Spring.? She spent' much of the day yesterday moving- her personal effects froni the Jore to the home of her father-in-law, NkhotM W. Halt ' ; : Mrs. Hall finally left the store with Mrs. Nicholas Hall, Misses Essie and Mamie Dunkum, her daughter, and a negro girt. The store Was securely barred and locked.' Within less than an hour the store was discovered to be on fire. The fire was in the pan- tT. pruf ?rh where the other ire was started might btiore last. As aooa a the aewa of the second at tempt to bura the store reached Louisa a bench warraat was issued by the judge. The sheriff aad a number of others hurried to Green Spring, placed Mrs. Hal under asrrest aad brought her back to the courthouse. Y OF BISHOP ML!

Work men are busy with the installation of a vault ia the new Church of theGood Shepherd, designated as the cathedral for the diocese of North Carolina, in which the body of Bishop T. B. Lyman will be deposited. It is directly under the chancel. Bishop Lyman, one of the earlier Bishops of the diocese, was con secrated about the time the Good Shep herd parish was established forty years ago and was always especially devoted to the welfare of the parish, leaving a substantial bequest to the congrega tion. In addition to the vault for the remains of the Bishop, one of the sev eral massive marble pillows is set aside for him as a memorial. One of the special features of the con vention of the diocese of North Caro lina in the Church of the Good Shep herd next week will be that for the re moval of the remains of the beloved Bishop from the grave in Oakwood cem etery and depositing it in the vault in the church.

Wheeler, of Chicago, vice-president of the Continental Trust Company, has declined a membership upon the Fed eral Reserve Board. President Wilson has received a letter from Mr. Wheeler expressing his regret that he is unable to accept the appointment recently ottered him because ot business con nections which he cannot sever.

It is unlikelv that the first three names will be sent to the senate until the list Is completed. The White House was silent today as to men who are uppermost in the president's mind. It was stated he had made no definite decisions.

The cabinet meeting brought out no vital developments, the discussion about pdicy being brief and general, penning oi tne postponement ot the mediation conference.

' NEWYORK, May 6. It wouldn't be surprising if the Federal League be came the ruling power in baseball be fore another year rolls aroundi The minor leagues just now are threa tening to break loose from the Ameri can nd National Leagues and form sn alliance with the Federals. If they do it means the taking away from those two major league organization tin y Jill F Uoill ' Wednesday very soil xhat has hourished'them." There' hardly I minor league; mag nate who isn't cussing to moguls of the major league and the National Com mission. The Feds have about wrecked a dozen teams in the Class as minora, but it un't the Feds that, the small magnate are sweanng at mostly. Its their supposed friends in the big league who failed them and failed miserably, in the greatest crisis in baseball history. The National agreement in which the big and little leagues are a start, pro vides that the big fellows shall" take care of the little ones in times of trouble. When the Feds began raiding the little fellows they yelled to the big fellows for help." And the big fellows answered something about having "troubles of our own" jammed cotton in their sound receivers and kept k there, Under ordinary conditions the major leagues would slip an oar to the little fellows. But this isn't an ordinary per iod, but one in which the majors feel t tney need about all the available oars to keep themselves afloat. And they've lelt the little fellows to sink. me statement may seem odd that the minors may hook up .with the very same crowd that put them on the frita, but it serins the best move they can make. They can't get help from the '""j"1" urcr can i eiana aione a- gainst the Feds. So the only thing that remains is for them to make peace with the enemy at whatever terms they can get. And unless we miss our guess by a mile, the reds will -make them good terms and take them to their bosoms in a loving, mother-like fashion. from Buffalo, Baltimore. K"a City, and Indianapolis come reports al ready that the Class as teams that are competing with the Federals are facinn bankruptcy. , In some of the towns the Federals have outdrawn them 5 and 10 to 1 in conflict games. At some of the International Leagues Games only 200 . or iW persons are in the stands a crowd that didn't bring enot gh money to pay half that day's hotel expenses for the visiting club to say nothing of salaries. railroad fares, and the score of different expenses a ball club must meet, i ne viaas as minors must average around aw to 3000 a .day to. break ahead at the end of the season. Acccrd ing to the early statistics they will aver age about 1000 perhaps less incl dint ... nvciagc cvrn tne attendarc-' in cities where there is no Federal Con p.- tition. Such an attendance is r. in Not only in this way have the Fc placed the Class as minors at their mer cy, but also in another way, as we haw seriously pointed out.- '1 hat's in the matter of players. In other y;ars tl minos added to their income by selliui, tneir ttar pia:trs to the major league- Some minor league clubs that had de veloped' some , exceedingly-; glittering stars averaged an income of $25,000 a season through this source But the Feds aren't in the business of buying player. They just grab them In the case of some star minor leagues they'll go in and agree to pay him the same salary for signing that the Organ- izcu majors wiu pay him, and in ad dition they'll give him a bonus. It not hard to guess what the play er will do, is it, when it comes to a pro. position of taking $3000 a year from the American or National -League or $3000 a year and an additional $2000 or $3000 from the Feds ia the form of bon a money.":-' rJV'.f't i '' .-; '5 J :s And every time a player accepts the Federal' proposition it mean that the minor will lose the purchase money.
