" The full texts of the bond issue bills forwarded to Raleigh by the committee are crowded out of this issue but will appear Friday. When Congress receives that petition drawn up by the young lady clerks in the government offices in Muskogee, Indian Territory, sent in the other day, such trivial matters as the Panama canal, forestry reserves, rate bills and pure food laws will have to take back seats. The import of the petition in ques tion is no less than a request that they be allowed to wear trousers just like the men un til the town fathers go ahead and pave the streets and side walks. Congress should by all means grant their request but the matter would no doubt provoke a lengthy and learned discussion. Muskogee's streets, 'tis said, are no worse than Gas-tonia's. Dropped Dead. A message from Stanley this afternoon conveyed the in teligence of the sudden death there of Mr. James Cannon, which occurred a few minutes after 1 o'clock this afternoon at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. J. C. Gaston, with whom he lived. Mr. Cannon was about 65 years of age and is survived by three sons and three daughters. The funeral will be held at Stanley to-morrow. Confederate Veteran Dead. Albert Davis, an aged Confed erate veteran, who served in Company B, 28th Regment N. C. Troops, died last night at the home of bis son, Mr. Brison Davis, near Bessemer City. Mr. Davis was 74 years . of age and had made his home for a number of years with his children. He is survived by two sons, Mr. Brison Davis, with whom he lived at the time of his death; Mr. Dolpheus Davis, Mrs. Jonas Wells and Mrs. Wesley Metcalf, all of the county. The funeral will be conducted- at Concord church tomorrow by Rev. W. V. Honeycutt. HAEBY THAW'S TIIAL Evelyn Nesbll Thaw, Prisoner's Wife. Tells ol Dor Betrayal bj Wbltt Jerome Meets Natch in Delmat. The trial of Harry K. Thaw, the Pittsburg millionaire, for the killing of Stanford White is progressing rather slowly in New York. District Attorney Jerome blocked every effort of the defense made last Tuesday to prove a streak of hereditary insanity id the Thaw family. His cross examination of Dr. C c. Wiley, ol Pittsburg, put on by the defense to prove the m sanity plea was relentless. The fnnd of medical knowledge dis played by Jerome was remark able and surprising. Wednesday there were several sharp tilts between Delphi n M Dflmas, leading counsel for the defense, and District At torney Jerome, the latter ob jecting to the introduction of evidence tending to show self defense. Mr. Jerome, it would seem, has about met his match in Mr. Delroas. Benjamin Bow man, formerly a stage door keeper at the -Madison Square theatre, was put on the stand and testified that he had heard White threaten to kill Thaw This is considered an im portaut point in favor of the de fense. The feature of Thursday's session of the court was the tes timony of the prisoner's wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. She told pathetically of her girlhood, her early struggle with poverty, her meeting with Stanford White and his subsequent betrayal of her. Her testimony occupied much time and she was heard throughout with rapt attention rnday Mrs. lnaw was again put on the stand and continued the story of her life and relations with the two men which she had begun the day before. The testimony was lacking in the dramatic element which cbarac terized it the day beiore. Sat urday District Attorney Jerome dramatically protested against any further "defamation of the dead," referring to the testi mony given by Mrs. Thaw Sunday a flurry of excitement was produced by the rumor that Wilbur F. Steele, one of the jurors, was ill but it later de veloped that he was only slight ly ill and not incapacitatd for service. Yesterday Dr. Chas. C. Wag ner, superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane at Bing hamton, was put on the stand and declared that, in his opin ion, 1 haw did not know the act was wrong when he shot and killed Stanford White. Other alienists will be put on the stand by the defense. Further testimony by Mrs. Thaw is blocked, for the time being, by District Attorney Jerome. A sngni sensation was caused yes terday by the reading in court of the note written Thaw in the :: .: . - .

Stowi and Carrie Mair, of Belmcnt. Rey. Dr. J. G. Kennedy delighted two large congrega tions at the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church Sunday morning and evening, tie a as been prevailed upon to remain in Gastonia and conduct services at this church next Suuday. Rev. Dr Kennedy is a preacher of earnestness and power. He is pastor of a church in Alleghany, Pa., but is spending some time in tne boutn on ac count of his health. In our Mount Holly cor respondence last week it was stated that Mr. R. M. Jenkins had been appointed postmaster at that place to succeed Mr. J. F. Joy. Nothing was said as to why a successor to Mr. Joy had been appointed. In justice to the latter we will inform our readers that Mr. Joy was not removed but some time ngo tendered his resignation in order that he might devote his time and attention to other business. This paper is anxious to each week issue a bright, local page, and in this desire our courteous business men can greatly assist us. With this end in view we are contemplating placing a tablet in each busi ness houseupon which can be jotted down any item of news. A representative of the office will call before press day and gather up the pages you have filled for us. If our friends will go to the trouble to jot down a few items each week it will greatly assist in making the paper newsy and bright, and the favor will not only be appreci ated but reciprocated whenever an opportuuity is offered.
