Under wood, ot" Alabama. Democratic leader of the Hu-e, when he fired a verbal broadside at \\ m. J. Br> an for criticising his position on exten sion of the tariff revision program. It was the most remarkable scene in the House since the beger.n'.ng of the extra session ot Congress. Excoriating the thr«e times con didate of the Democratic party for Presidential honors. Leader Under wood dtnounced Mr. Bryau s state ments as false. defended his". (Un derwood's) attitude as to revision of the iron and steell tariff scr.eiulesj and said Bryan had placed upon] . e\;ery Democratic member ' tions unfounded in fact.' He called on h : s Deriiocratic colleagues of the X Ways and Means Committee for corroboration of his attitude in com- mittee and in caucus. Mr. Uudt rwood was backed up in a sinnliarlv striking -peech bv Representative Kitchin, of North Carolina, long a devoted friend of Bryan, Mr. Kitchin expressed sur prise that' any Democrat should so "malign Mr. Underwood atd the party.* It all came about from a pubii-b --ed interview, which purported to be "authorized" by Mr. Brjan.declar ing it was time Drnracratic Leader Underwood was "unmasked." 1 't The action of Cbairmau Under wood in opposing an immediate effort to reluce the iron ap 1 steel schedule reveals the leal Under wood," sail the Br/an interview. "Speaker Clark and other tariff reformeis tried to secure the pas , - + sage of a resolution instructing the Means Committee to take up other schedules, including the iron and steel schedule, but Under wood and Fitzgerald, the Fitzgerald who saved Canon in the last Con- succeeded in defeating the solution. "The unmasking of Chairman Underwood will serve a useful pur posed ' added the ' if it arouses the Democrats to an under standing of the mistake mnde in putting Mr. Underwood at the head of the committee if he solidi fies his policy of delay." The House listened intently as the entire interview was read from the clerk's desk. Word of the answer that Underwood was to make to Bryan had been passed among Democrats and almost a full membership on the Democratic side greeted the taiiff leader. Cheers and applause that lasted for several minutes greeted him as he arose to spealo Subscribe to THE ENTERPRISE Death of a Little Child Little Mamie Ruth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Hopewel'. died Tuesday, August ist.of bronchitis, after an illness of only four days. She was three - years and three months old when the summons came to take her from the ones who loved her to that One who loved ber more. The funeral services were con ducted by Rev. G. J. Dowell Wed nesday afternoon, interment in the Reddick grave yard near Williams- THE ENTERPRISE Failure of Wine Dealers For several mo iths, Messrs. Lee gett and Barnes, dealers in native wines, have been noting a decrease in their stock at the store rooms on the farm of J D Leggett, the senior member of the firm, situated about a mile from Wrlliatn ston on the Hamilton road. Offi have betn on the watch for weeks, but not uutil last Fridav night had the thieves, with an unquenchable thrift, been located. On that n'ght Sheriff Crawford, accompan ied by Deputv P.»ge and F U. Birnes, secreted himself at a con venient s near the store house. About ioo'ciock, Tobe" Purvis came up with four jugs holding 10 gallons. Placing a ladder so as to rtacii a small window in the hou*e, be.carried up the and proceeded to 611 them. While the process of filling was going on, the officers climbed up and called Purvis out, covering him at the same time with their pistols. After the arrest Purvis disclosed the whole story of organized steal ing; that he had heen engaged in the business of stealing and selling 'smc^isiiAtfuary; that he began the business W. D. McKeel, a man. who has been foreman 011 the LeggeiX farm. McKeel planned the whole thing and had helped him steal, often feoing in the window himself, while he (Purvis) watched below. - Warrants were "at once issued for McKeel and on Monday he was given a hearing before Judge God win. He was represented by Mar tin & Critcher. while S A. Newell prosecuted for the State. The State showed by the testimony of Purvis many cases of stealing and selling by McKett, which testimony was thoroughly corroborated bv other - witnesses. McKeel waived examination and was bound over to court by Judge Godwin. Bonds were fixed at S3OO Purvis failing to give boud was placed in jail to await the September term of court. McKeel furnished bond later and was released. An inventory by Leggett and Barues shows that from 750 to' 1 ,Coo gallons of wine have been stolen. It seems that the stealing was gen erally and in the ina'ii a partner ship. But when :t came to divid ing ibe spoils, white 1 man got the negro again bv making him sell and dc-lfVer for .>5 cents per gallon while he kept 7-5 cents, one dollar being the price of the goods Thus they undersold the original firm, who ask »i.50" per gallon The firm of McKeel and Purvis, dealers in native wines, ha* dissolved not by mutual consent but by force of the law. They continued in busi ness a little too long for their own safety Wine will not be so cheap now in this community, but, per haps, the sale will be a legitimate one, for Leggett and Barnes may be able now to protect themselves against any more raids. — * » 1 . Colored Boy Drowned Monday morning a small colored lad, the son of Jordan Williams, who lives below the river hill, was drowned in the Roanoke river near the bend above the county wharf. He and his smaller brother tad been to the water earlier in the day, and had home by their mother, who punished the unfor tunate child for going to the river and attempting to swim.

Cries of the little brother brought people to the scene and the body was found but not in time to use means to Jbring. back life. „ WILUAMSTON, N.
