Prof. Holt's Waterloo.
The discussion between Prof. J. Al
len Holt and Solicitor A. L. Brooks, as
pirants for the Democratic congression
al nomination, in the court boiue last
night is the talk of the town today, the
consensus of opinion apparently being
that Professor Holt is eliminated from
the contest Professor Holt had adver
tised the appointment and invited Sol
icitor Brooks to be present and make
any reply he might fit to make. The
friends of Professor Holt insisted that
he wovld demolish Solicitor Brooks came
to the meeting in a highly elated f ranje
of mind. Mr. Brooks had not spoken
two minutes in reply to Professsor
Holt until he had the crowd with him,
and the enthusiasm inert ased as he pro
ceeded to tear into shreds the alleged
charges made by his opponement It
is but stating a fact to say that the an
nihilation was full and complete. Mr.
Brooks really made a masterly speech,
and if appearances count for anything
he won over to bis support practically
all of Professor Holt's friends in the
meeting. ' ';. .;
Professor Holt charged the Demo
cratic newspapers ot the fifth district
with attempting to condone and cover
up the alleged offences of Solicitor
Brooks and complained 'that he could
not get a hearing in the press of his
own party. He also charged that either
he or some other Democrat must
defeat Mr. Brooks, or a Repubublican
will have it to do. Greensboro Cor.

Aldrich's Bill
Passes Senate
- Washington, March 27. -They Aid
rich currency bill was jasaed by the
Senate today by a vote t,t 42 to 16, in
the main a party vote. - Previous to
the taxing of the vote on the Aldrich
bill, a vote was taken n the Bailey
substitute authorizing the government,
instead of the national tanks to issue
the emergency circulation for which
the bill provides. The voteon the sub
stitute stood 40 to 13, and this vote
was entirely partistn, even Senator
La Follette casting his vote with the
Bepublicans. The bill has been before
the Senate since January 9th The
vote was not reached until after 6 p.
m. ..-v.';. . - t
An interesting feature of the pas
sage of the bill was a reiteration by
Mr. Aldrich of his promise to bring in
a bill for an investigation of the entire ,
banking system of the country with a
view to to instituting reforn a. -
As passed the bill provides for not
more than $500,000,000 of emergency
currency to be issued to nations banks
upon the deposit by. them of State,
county and municipal bonds to be ap
proved by the Secretary of the Treas
ury The currency is to be issued with
a view of securing an equitable distri
bution of the currency over the United
States, and in accordance with the un
impaired capital and surplus of banks
in each State. Banks are to pay for
thi emergency circulation half of one
per cent a month during the first four
months it is circulated and afterwards
3 4 of cne per cent a month.
: The bill provides that National banks
shall pay not less than 1 per cent on
government funds deposited with them.
As amended today the bill carries an
important change in banking laws re
lating to bank reserves. This amend
in ent provides that of the 15 per cent
reserve required to be kept by banks
not in reserve cities,'' four-fifths s to
be kept in the valts of the bank and of
that amount one-third can be kept in
the form of securities required.
Senator Overman, in explaining his
vote against the measure, said in part:
"The Aldrich bill tktes not get at the
root of the trouble. fcut only adminis
ters to the diseased surface. It is said
it is a patch: it is a thin patch upon the
crazy quilt of our monetary system.
A salt solution for use only when death
k imminent or an emergency comes.
"Wiat avail would this bill have
been, what relief would it have brought
to the country banks in October last?
The country banks do not own State,
county, railroad, or municipal bonds.
Th ey only bear three or four per cent
in tertrst and the banks cannot afford
t) own them when they can loan every
d ollar they have at 6 and 8 per cent.
These bonds generally go to the great
m oney centres and are held by savings
banks, insurance and trust companies
and the great national banks. It is a
m onstrous proposition to say that the
bank? would have taken one hundred
thousand and more of currency from
their vaults to purchase bonds and get
back in return only $75,000 to $90,000
in high taxed money."

Bry?n in the Enemy's Home.
Pittsburg, Pa., Maroh 27. -For over
two hours tonight William Jennings
Bryan was attentively listened to and
frequently applauded by an audience
of 3,500 persons at Exposition Hall,
where he addressed a massmeeting ar
ranged by the Bryan Democratic
League of Pennsylvania. The audience
however, constituted scarcely half of
the people who sought to hear the
Democratic aspirant for presidential
honors. Mr. Bryan later spoke briefly
to the crowd on the outside.
The mass meeting followed a session
of the executive committee of ; tbe
Bryan Democratic League of Pennsyl
vania, attended by supporters of Mr.
Brj an from all parts of Western Penn
sylvania to further their plans for se
curing instructed delegates to the
Democratic National Convention hich
is opposed by one faction of the party
in the State. Hon. Jerimiah S. Black,
president of the State League, pre
sided at the meeting.
Mr. Bryan made satirical reference
to the alleged corruption in the poli
tics of Pennsylvania and the new cap
itol graft trials. He denounced the
four Democrats of Kentucky Legisla
ture who joined the Republicans in
electing a United States Senator and
made an earnest plea for instructed
delegates to all nominating conven
tions, contending that this was the true
Democratic doctrine. He praised Sen
ator La Follette as the only real Re
publican reformer, but said he was dis
credited by the leaders of his own party.
Governor Hughes was scored for his
declaration that the $29,000,000 Stand
ard Oil fine was excessive and Secre
tary Taft was denounced for his atti
tude in favor of regulating and con
trolling, instead of exterminating trusts
and advocating, while Governor of the
Pblllipines a perpetual franchise and a
perpetnal guaranteed income for a rail
road with which the government was
making settlement References to
President Roosevelt were for the most
part pleasant.
Young Man Kills Himself.
Graham, March 27. Edwin Holt
White committed suicide tonight about
8:15 by shooting himself in the hart
with a 38-calibre revolver. Mr. White
was 25 years of age and unmarried.
; Mr. White's brothers, Messrs. J.
Harvey and William E. White, Were
jat a meeting of the masons, and Ed
ward went borne in the eariy part of
the. night and from all appearances
bathed himself and dressed as if to re
tire. Nothing unusual was noticed un
til his brother William went home
about 10 o'clock. After entering the
house, the front door of which he found
locked, he went to Edwin's room and
found him lying on the bed with the
revolver by his side. One chamber of
the weapon wos empty and a cartridge
in another showed unmistakable signs
oLbaving been snapped at.
The ball entered the left breast in
the third interstate, two inches to the
left of the medium line, passing en
tirely through the body and lodging
just beneath the skin over the left
sixth rib. The body was examined by
Dr. S. G. McPhereon, the coroner, and
he pronounced the case suicide and
deemed an inquest unnecessary.
No cause is known for Mr. White's
action. He had been, however, in very
bad health for several months and for
the last few days had been in unusually
low spirit and very despondent
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon from the White home and
the interment will be in Elmwood cem
etery in Charlotte by the side of his
father and mother.

Cases Heard in
Mayor's Court
The beginning of hostilities of the
Greek-American War broke out in this
city Saturday night, or to be accurate,
early Sunday morning. The trouble
came about by a squadron of five bat
tleships sailing to the Busy Bee Cafe
for supplies in the fchape of egg sand
wiches. It so happened that two of
the Greek men-of war were anchored
at this particular spot- They realized
that trouble was brewing, so slowly
steamed away. One of the coal ships
from the American Equadi on attempted
to stop the entrance in Intoxicant
Channel, "cork" the enemy as it were.
Another let go a 16-pounder, which
narrowly missed the two foreign ships.
Now it so happened that the two latter
were flying the flag of truce, but after
this insult the fighting colors went up.
The battle was waxing warm, and if
ships had not interfeied via law the
American squadron would no doubt
have been run in for repairs. It being
the general opinion in diplomatic cir
cles that the American squadron was
at fault, a court-martial was held on
the flagship "City Hall" yesterday.
High Lord Admiral Montgomery decid
ed after hearing the evidence that the
foreigners were badly treated and tax
ed the home squadron with costs enough
to about pay a naval officer's salary
for thirty days.
Frank Thomas, a nogro cripple, was
in court yesterday as defendant in
three cases. "Crowcaine," as one
of the witnesses called the. drug, was
at .the bottom of it all. Frank was
sent to the roads for 30 days on one
charge, taxed with $2 and costs on an
other and thirty days on the third. In
examining the witnesses, Mjyor Mont
gomery attempted to draw from them
some evidence to convict the party or
parties who sold the cocaine. Some
day he will find out a few things about
the sale of this stuff, and woe unto the
guilty party!
Mayor Montgomery had his hands
full in the police court yesterday. He
has a manner of taxing the lawbreak
ers that makes them fear him, and if
this rule is kept up it will result in un
told good.
. A warrant was issued yesterday by
a colored woman named Simpson lor
the arrest of Rev. J. G. Banister, a
colored minister who formerly resided
here, now in Durham. Banister came
to ReidsviIIe yesterday morning to
make arrangements for his marriage
which was to have occurred Thursday.
An officer took him in charge as he
was abont to board the evening train
to return to Durham. Banister was
charged with having caused the Simp
son woman to Bign a deed to her home,
representing to her that she was sign
ing an obligation bond for the deed.
He then bonowed money on the prop
erty. He had only made a payment of
$15 on the place.
Govenor Glenn as to U. S. Senate.
Governor Glenn on his return to the
city aBked that it' be published from
him that reports sent , out to various
newspapers that be ha4 decided not to
seek the position of United States
were absolutely incorrect, as he had
neither Baid he would or would not be a
candidate.
In speaking of the matter, he said:
"While in Washington on my recent
trip Senator Overman asked if I in
tended to be a candidate for the United
States Senate against him. My reply
to him was that Ihad not yet made up
my mind whether I would or would not
be a candidate, but that 1 would as
sure him that if I decided to run he
would be the first man io be notified."
"No one has been authorized to send
out any statement that 1 would retire
from the race or would be in the race,
as I make my own annonncements."
