Step Beiaf Takea to Oct Sack lost), tatloa at That Hostliar. Towa Plcld Day far Caadldatet Qoveraor Qlem aad Mr. Hackett Later Visitors. Mt. Pleasant, Oct. 15 To day is a notable one in political circles here; every candida'e of any consequence being present rxcept Mr. Hackett. It waa not the p'ivilrge i f The Tribune correspondent to be present at the political gathering this afternoon, but if we may be permitted an opinion based on reports from friends and foes alike of the different candidates, it is safe to say that "Candidates Day" has been an unqualified success. From Congressman Blackburn down to the last men on the county tickets, all scored political hits and easily out pointed their opponents. Like Wolf and Montcalm at Quebec, the fans this evening, both Democrats and Republicans are happy over the day's battle happy that their respective candidates proved themselves worthy and well qualified to take care of the interests intrusted to them by their party; happy their opponents went down in defeat. Such a satisified state of affairs is pleasant, even 'o a looker on. The committee which have Gov. Glenn's reception in charge for his ap pearance here on the 2nd of Novem ber, will meet Wednesday night to perfect plans for that event. We are not at liberty at this time to state what they will be, but they will reflect credit upon the town. A large order for decorative material has been placed, so all may be given an opportunity to display their patriotic sentiments as well as political inclinations. The event of the week will be Mr Hackett's address in the auditorium Wednesday night. It is being exten sively advertised and a large crowd is expected. Note was made last week of a bank for M L Pleasant, and we are now glad to report that steps are being taken looking to it establishment. A. num ber of shares of stock have already been subscribed and it is thought that in a few days a sufficient number will be entered to insure for the place an institution which is very much needed. It will be conducted as a branch of the Cabarrus Savings Bank. It has been some time since the cabbage snake has attracted notice, but it is again promising to attract atten tion of cabbage eaters Mr Wiley Petrea brought to town last week a genuine cabbage reptile that had been found by Mr Petrea while preparing cabbage for dinner. It had the ap prarance of being a real snake. While working in the field one afternoon laat week Mr Jeff Starnes and family were taken suddenly sick, from, poisoning it i supposed. Dr. Matthews was summoned immediately and rendered such assistance a he found necessary. The family is re covering, though some of the members were very tick for a while. Mr Prince Goodman has resigned his position as night engineer at the Tuscarora mill and ha taken charge of th (team plant at the Concord Milling Company. He is succeeded at the Tuscarofa'by Mr Robert Rine hardt. Prof. Wilcox, who conducted a aeries of illustrated lecture at the Methodist church during the past week under the auspice of the Anti Saloon League, had large audience at each lecture and all' express them selves aa being highly pleased.

STORM IN SICILY. City of Messiai Swept by Cyclone Which Did Much Serious Damage Messini, Sicily, Oct. 16 Knormous damage was done this city by a cyclone which swept over it yesterday. Ship ping in the harbor has been badly damaged and numerous casualties are reported, but no definite figures are given. folice barracks have teen blown down and several buildings have been destroyed. Telegraphic com munication with other parts of Sicily have been interrupted and it is feared that other heavy damage has been done. Young North Carolina Preacher Married lo Canada. The wedding of Rev John Coit which occurred last week will be of interest here. Mr Coit is a brother of Mrs John Wakefield. A Salisbury dispatch says: Rev John Knox Coit, a former Salisbury boy who has been at Mon treat doing fine service for the Presby terian church, was married Thursday of last week to Ms Rebecca Gallo way, of Toronto, Canada, at the home of the bride. The ceremony was per formed at high noon, after which the young couple left and are now on their way to North Carolina and Salisbury, where they will visit a few days- Mr Coit goes from here to Rock Hill, S C, where he has a charge. He is a young minister of much promise, has begun the ministry well and stands high in the Presbytery. The couple will arrive here about Wednesday and will stop with Mr Coit's mother. Judge' Orders Ignored. Asheville, Oct. 15 because a jury in Superior court went contrary to the judge's instructions last week and in the Carver vs. J K. Coleman case brought in a verdict for the defendant, Judge Allen has granted a new trial and the case will again be heard in the courts. The case had to do with certain barbed-wire fence. The plaintiff alleged that, while walking along Hill street one cold day, he slipped and in falling grabbed the de fendant's fence; that there was barb wire on the fence and that his hand and shoulder were injured. Judge Allen instructed the jury that if the plaintiff was injured and they found that the injury was due to the wire, then the defendant under the municipal law governing barb-wire fences was negligent and liable. There was no question about the injury. The jury, however, failed to see how a strand of barb-wire on the inside of Mr Cole man's fence could contribute to the injury of the plaintiff's shoulder, the alleged permanent hurt, and in disre gard for instructions returned a verdict finding in favor of the defendant. It is (aid that had the jury followed the instructions of the court and still be lieving that the plaintiff was not enti tled to recover it could have awarded normal damage for instance, one penny and there would have been no ground for the granting of a new trial.
