A Senator Thinks That we are Abont to Face Serious Trouble In the East and That Japan la Bchlad the Matter for Commercial Supremacy. Washington, Feb. 12. The news from China daily grows more alarming in character. Even members of the United States Senate are giving the matter serious consideration. One Senator, a member of the committee on foreign relations and as such con versant with every phase of a solution, is convinced with he gravity of the situation and is laboring assidiously to impress his views on his colleagues. ''The Japanese are behind all this," he said, and this is a part of his argu ment to arouse his colleagues to action. He said: "Japan is the powerful and implac able enemy of America" in China and it is a struggle for commercial su premacy, with stealth, cunning and unscrupulousness she is pitted against us. Japan is brave and strong and progressive, but she is absolutely corl sciousless. If lives are lost it is but a part of his plan and makes no differ ence. He urges China to commit these outrages and it is only the begin ning of such things. Secretaries Root and Taft should snd must have money to prepare for a campaign that is sure to come. We must be prepared to take care of ourselves and protect American citizens in China. Money is necessary to put t' e machinery in motion and to transport troops to points of tactical advantage." TWENTY PERSONS DEAD Fire thin Horning Destroyed a Frame Block at Portland With Serious r Effect Portland, Oregon, Feb 12.

Winston Salem, being contiguous to the eighth district, possibly more interest is mani fested here in the politics of that dis trict than is to be found in many eighth, district towns. Hackett it the favorite here for the Democratic nom ination. ; A good friend of his remark ed today 'j'-' v.--' "Either Hackett, Dough ton, Felds or Kluttz could beat Blackburn. Each has strong points in his favor. Hackett is a 'magnificent orator and would arouse the,: younger element of the party. , Dough ton is one of the wisest and. strongest men in the State' and is very popular; Fields has the distinc tion of having carried Watauga, Ashe and Alleghany counties when he ran for the Senate in 1898 and is possibly the moat' popular man of all in those three counties); while Kluttz is univer sally liked by people of all parties throughout the district." "I dorrl believe the Democrats have another man, in ' the district who can carry it," remarked another, "unless it is Mr W R Odell, of Concord." -Week's Ssivlcs. - , '.- During this week at the First Pres byterian church, there will be-each day the ' following services,' to which the public is cordially invited, to, be present: At 11.45 a m, a prayer meet mg. for men; at 4:00 p m, a prayer meeting for women, and at 7:30 p m. preaching for the entire public.

Mt Pleasant Presents a Remarkable Record The Loss Sustained in the Death' of Dr Barnhardt Personals and Locals From Eastern Cabarrus Mt Pleasant, Feb. 12. Although we bad taken pains t get accurate in; formation, yetjhe record of. fires as given last week is not quite complete. To Capt Cook we are indebted for a list that is accurate arid 'co'mplete. It might be well for those interested in local history to clip the list and paste in their scrap books. The first was Martin Rosenstiel's blacksmith shop about 1850, supposed to have been set on fire by a negro, in 1855 a res: idence where Mr Jesse Skeen now lives, in 1870 Mathias Barrier's kitch" en, 1980 kitchen on Bangle property, 1882 gin at Mr J H Thayer's and in 1906 Mr Klut z's late loss. The list is still remarkable in that oniy one res idence has burned in nearly three- fourths of a century. It also 'shows that kitchens are dangerous. In the death of Dr Barnhardt there has been removed from our midst, a prominent and influential citizen Ever progressive and energetic, ever ready to join any movement that promised good for the town's welfare and upbuilding. He served several terms on the board of town commis sioners, filling the official duties of clerk and treasurer. He was a mem ber of each of the fraternal orders lo cated here, from whose councils be will be greatly missed, having been a central figure at their meetings and al ways took a keen interest in their work, as far as his professional services would permit. The town and com munity are alike deeply sensible of the loss sustained in his death. The date of the young ladies mu sical concert has been qhanged from March 2nd to the night of the 22nd mat . Rural routes Nos 2 and 3 begin Thursday morning. No 2 will be handled by Mr W J Moose and No 3 by Mr M O Barringer, who has moved his family here that he may be more conveniently located.

Asheville, Feb. 10. An interesting point was raised by Col V S Lusk in Superior Court this morning, it was the question of whether a court jury could be legally drawn by a woman. A question of whether a woman can legally perform the duties of a public office in North Carolina. The ques tion was raised when a lady clerk in Register of Deeds A D Fortune's of fice this morning drew jurors fpr serv ice at the present term of court. Judge Allen held that the ngjnes were not drawn as jurors but really as talismen to be summoned by an officer. It is a point, however, that will probably sooner or later be carried to the Su preme Court. ' It is not in the instance of this morning alone that this point will be contested. The law provides that the jurors be drawn by register of deeds.')- The deputy register of deeds for Buncombe County is a lady. In the abscence of Mr Fortune recently the jurors for the present term of court were drawn by the deputy register of deeds. From this jury list were drawn the grand jury that will pass on bills of indictment.- Incidentally' the grand jury will consider the indict ment . against . Francis M . Stevens, charged with the killing of Caleb Lee, here several months ago. The point raised by Col Lusk is in effect that the jury, is illegally empanpeled be cause they were drawn by a woman.

Asheville, Feb. 11 John E Pat ton, of Black Mountain township, yesterday instituted suit in Superior court against John E Huyler, the New York millionaire candy manufacturer. The complaint has not been filed but it is said that damages in the sum of $2,000 will be demanded. Craig & Martin, of this city, represent the plaintiff. Mr Patton claims damages by virtue of the breaking of the Mon treat dam in January, when the plain tiff's saw mill, located just below the dam, was badly damaged and portions of it washed away. It is believed that the suit will be compromised before it comes to trial. Mr Huyler has re cently sold or contracted to sell Mon treal to the North Carolina Presby terian Synod. The Presbyterians now have an option on the property,good until September of this year, and it is desired that when the property changes hands there shall be no claims against it. It is said, however, that the suit against Mr Huyler will in no wise effect the sale of Montreat to the Presbyterians; that Mr Huyler will bold the religious body safe. The New Cough Syrup the one that aota as a mild oaUiartio on the bowels is Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar. It expels all cold from the system, eats the phlegm oat of the throat, strengthens the mucosa membranes of the bronchial tabes, and relieves croup, whooping cough etc. Children love it.

The dis pensary investigation today was given over to Mr L W Boykin's attorneys, Messrs. Bellinger and Welsh, who presented evidence in rebuttal of the charges that Mr Boykin had made an extravagant purchase of labels. The testimony submitted Was from Mr Weiskopf, president of the Nivisson Weiskopf Company, of Cincinnati, who made the labels and from another representative of the Louisville Courier-Journal Printing Company, to show that the labels had been bought at a reasonable price. Mr Charles, clerk of the Stare board, testified that the firm receiving the award was the only one which had a bid submitted properly. Mr Lyon showed that the contract was awarded on a supple mental bid. The last witness tonight was Mr W O Tatum, commissioner at the State dispensary, who, under cross examination by Mr Lyon, figured out that the labels at the present rate of use would last over six years, and that if the sizes are not used uniformly the quart labels may last years longer, al though it has been reported to him (hat some of the half-pint labels are now running short. . fraud Exposed.
