Spencer, April l.-Concord Presbytery of the Somthern Pres byterian Church, which meets Id Spencer on the 12th instant has lost seven of its members by death dace the last meeting at Banner Elk, last October. Among them being its venerable moderator, the Rev. Dr. J. M. Wharley, of David son. The Presbytery will be call ed to 6rder by the moderator just proceeding him and it is 'expected that some important business will be transacted at this session. The Concord Presbytery is the "second largest in point of numbers in the Southern Presbyterian Church em bracing within its bouuds the counties in which Presbyterianism is strong in North Carolina. It is expected that between seventy-five and one hundred delegates will be present. Among the most important bus iness items to be disposed of at this session will be action on certain overtures from the general assem bly involving fundamental changes in the law of the church. As Con cord Presbytery is composed of some of the ablest men in the de nomination and is noted for its conservatism its taction always carries great weight with the gen eral assembly. The Spencer congregation is making extensive preparations for the reception of the delegates. The church is being renovated, lieauti tied and fitted with new pews which arrived here this week from Chicago. Long Hair Untrimmed Beard Special to Dnily News. Raleigh, April 1. Citizens of Raleigh who attended the recent session of Harnett county Superior court at Lillingtou, tell uf seeing Philip H. McUae, who isburdened with hair that falls much lelow his shoulders and with a bushy and untrimmed beard, all because he took an oath early during one of William Jennings Bryan's earl iest campaigns for President that he would neither have his hair cut or his beard shaved until Rrvan was President. He told the Ral eigh gentleman that his hair would have leen much longer thu'.t it is now but that some of his mischiev ous fri -nds lieguiled him into im bibing too much "John Parley -corn," and then cropped off his hair while he could not help him self. .McIIae is 5 years old, and is said to have expressed himself as having alout lost ull hope of ever lM'ing relieved of his burden some hair and beard through Bryan's attaining the Presidency. Recently he has exchanged letters with Bryan and the latter sent him a life-size bust-engraven of himself iu exchange foT a picture of Meltae in his flowing hair and beard. Mediae lives nine miles out from Lillingtou. . ;:;r, ' Gov. Iviteliin Has" made a serious error in commuting the sentence of ruxWr.Shemwell. The result, while not so intended of course, will Iks to encourage lawlessness in JSVth Carolina. The five days in "jail is doubtless intended by the Governor td' blunt the criticism he expected, but so far as practical results are concerned the imprison meut migjit just as well have been left off. If Shem well can serve five days he can serve lunger. The, fact is that this man lias shown himself to be above the law. He has in the past done pretty much os lie pleased and escaped the con , Rwiuenees. The Governor's action Is license for the future. States- vi!le Landmark. (The Governor made a serious mistake as we see it.r-ew?.) V A Pardee Board Necessity, j Greensboro Record. It has been evident for years that what this State needs and needs badly is a pardon board. The Governor has all this work with its tremendous responsibilities and few people have any idea of the amount of time, not to mention the worry, involved. If applica tion was made only by letter it would not be half so bad, but dele gation after delegation goes to Ral eigh and worries the life out of the Governor. Other States have such a board and there is no reason why North Carolina should not have one. Shemwell It ia JaiL Greensboro News. Baxter Shemwell, accompanied by his son, Demott Shemwell, ar rived here on train No. 44 yester day morning at 9:30 o'clock he was going through the ordeal of a preliminary search in the anteroom of Guilford county jail, prepartory to beginning his five days sentence. Shemwell made no effort whatever at secrecy, driving from the depot to Hotel Guilford with other train passengers in the regular bus, and walking soon afterwards along the street with his son to the clerk's office. Here Shemwell paid in new bills the sum of $620.70, f00 of which was the fine imposed by Governor Kitchin and $120.70 for the accumulated costs in the trial. He then notified Sheriff Jones that he was ready to go to jail, and, bidding his son goodbye, he walked around to the jail with two officers and a half dozen newspaper men . Farmers Mammoth Matt Meeting. President Charles S. Barrett, of the Farmers' Union, has extended an Invitation to every farmer in Aine: ica to attend a mammoth mass meeting to be held in St. Louis, May '.i 7, for the purpose of bringi'ig about a closer fraternity between the great producing class of the country. President Barrett has addressed a general invitation uotonly to the members of the or ganization, but to every farmer in America. From May 3 to May 7, the Farm ers' union hold in St. Louis, a na tional mass meeting for farmers, unparalleled in scope, probably in importance, undoubtedly in at tendance, in the history of America. The railroads of the country have promised to grant low round trip rates from everv portion of America. I regard it as urgently desirable that everv officer and member of the Farmers' Union, who can af ford the tihie and money, be with ns these live days. Johu Crosby, a white man, while driving home was instantly killed near Shelby Saturday night.

Two con ferences have been held within re cent months between State Super intendent of Education J. Y. Joyner and the councilors of the union with a view to instituting this campaign just as early as pos sible and carrying it to successful proportions. The Farmers' Union proposes to have established in connection with the public schools in the agri cultural section of the State de partments of agriculture and do mestic science and to institute high schools for the same purpose in some of the counties. It is aimed to make agriculture aud do mestic science branches to be taught iu all the schools just as much so as arithmetic or history or any of the other branches ot learning. And in addition to this general and uniform instruction, technical schools will be established and farms w ill be purchased in connec tion with them on which practical demonstrations can be made and the boys can be taught by object lessons along the lines of this science. Pursued to a furtner de gree of efficiency, in the course of time dormitories will be built at these places and arrangements will lie made by which a boy or girl can receive a thorough course in farming and domestic science with out any cost except their board. Xo tuition will be charged, but the school will be supported on the same basis as that upon which now operate, being jointly support ed by the county and the State Dr. II. Q. Alexander, president of the North Carolina division of the union, is behind this movement with all his vigor and influence and his work is being readily en courageu by others interested in this necessary development along educational lines In this connection it is pertinent to add that the faculty of the Agri cultural and Mechanical Uollege at Raleigh will put on a special course in agriculture and domestic science about the middle of April to last for two weeks. This course is free to any who may wish to take ad vantage of it, no cost being at tached except loardaiid transpor tat ion. Coal Mine Are Closed. Two hundred thousand organiz ed miners of the bituminous coal fields of Pennsylvania, Ohio, In diana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas (iiit work last (Thursday) night. The miners, members of the United Mine Workers of America, declared the walk out was not a strike but merely a suspension of work pending an arrangement be tween themselves and the opera tors of a wane scale for another year, the old scale having expired with the month of March. The men demand an increase of pay in some instances of .' cents a ton, and in other instances of more, aud certain changes in working condi j lions Confidence was expressed by the operators that there will lie no gen- j eral coal famine, hu ge supplies of j fuel having been secured in anticipa tion of the walk-out. While the miueis predicted the suspension would be cut short by a prompt signing of wage, scales, sonnofthe operators maintained the mines ooghtj to be , kept closed for a month or 60 days or longer. Minora Killed hy Explosion. Wilburton, Okla , March 31. Six miners were killed here today by an explosion in the Great West ern Coal & Coke Company's mine No. 2. It is not known what caused the blast, but it is supposed to have been the result of a shot going oT prematurely just as the men, who were on the night shift, were leav ing their work. T'ie bodies were recovered this afternoon. The State mine inspector and his aides immediately began an in vestigation. Governor Should Be Relieved. State Democrat. Life must be a burden to the Governor of this State, made so by the persistent efforts of so many people to get a pardon or commu tation for some poor wretch who is in trouble. This is a responsibility that the Governor ought to be re lieved of. He ought also to be re lieved of sending a message to the Legislature, mapping out and rec ommending legislation. Some members harp a whole session up on this or that, and for no better reason than it "has been recom mended by the Governor." Then, to even up for these losses to his Excellency, he ought to be vested with the veto power, which would enable him to rid the law books of mauy useless, impractical laws. The passing of laws has come to be sort of log rolling busines, ,lYou help me today and I will help )oa tomorrow." If the Governor could knock out this sort of legislation the Stale would be benefited. Whitky Advertiaement. Christian Sun. One by one the papers in the good State of North Carolina are responding to the call of their con science yes, newspapers have a conscience and are cutting out all whiskey advertisements. Several of the very ablest and most w ide awake of ouriapers, le it said to their everlasting honor, have re fused to carry these advertisement from the day that prohibtion car ilea nil now, ami oineis are coming to a similar course. The latest to join the list, and to which we extend congratulations, is The Evening Times (Daily) of Raleigh which expresses it-self in this wholesome manner: "After April 1. The Evening Times will not carry whiskey ad vertiseinents This action will un doubtedlybring financial loss, but we are conscious of the wonderful power and intlnence ol this paper to the thousands of homes to which it is a welcome visitor." Commenting on this decision ol The Times, the Leaksville Gazette says: "The Gazelle congratulates The Times upon its new depart tire, and its readers also. What man is there that would welcome to his home and family of children a newspaper laden with the germs of physical disease; aud yet through thoughtlessness a whiskey adver tising newspaper reeking with moral coutagiou, is actually en dorscd by the parent and com mended to his sons and daughters. How can such a newspaper advo cate morality in one column and at the same time advise young men where whiskey can be Iwughtf What must necessarily be the in- tlnenceof such a newspaper?" . .

Shell and Dr. Kent. - ., : ' , Jewish Colony Near Tryon. Ashville Citizens. Mr. Isaac Landman, secatary of the Farm School, near Philadel phia, arrived in this city yesterday in the interest of a big agricultural movement for the State of North Carolina' Mr-. Landman has come primary to complete the final ar rangements for the establishment of a Jewish colony of farmers near Tryon on the land given for coloni zation purposes to the National Farm School by Mr. Heniy Hel man, of New York. The plan, as outlined by Mr. Landman to The Citizens, includes the divisions of the tract of 750 acres into individual farms for graduates of his institatin and their families, all of whom come from the crowded cities of the country. The first settler already on the place, is Julius Stabinsky, a grad uate from the school who has deen employed in general agricultural work at Peck, La, for the last three years. Mr. Stabinsky is from the National Farm School an orphan from the New Orleans orphan's asylum, and he brought with him his brother in law, his sister, and two children,. Fifty acre have been alloted to him, part of w hich is to be set in vineyards and peaeh orchads. The National Farm School is to sell these farms to graduates of at least one year's experience, at a very cheap price and on very fav orable terms of payment, so that their probable snccess will not lie hind red by the load of heavy mor tatages. The Principle it the Some. A-hville Citizen. Despite the fact that The Citizen has repeatedly stated that it charges card rates for ull standing announ cements for cauidates, and for let ters endorsing cauidates, there are still men who cannot understand why a newspaper should charge anything for the only stock in trade it has to sell space. This paper recently received a nicely printed circular from a prospective candidate which closed with the statment that "the publication of the enclosed will be greatly appree iated." Another aspirant for pol itical honors in a distant part of the State n rote in, "authorizing" The Citizen to make his announcement which he followed with a glowing eulogy of himself, written by him self. And so it goes. Itishtnlly likely that any of these individuals would walk into a grocery store or a butcher shop and "authorize" the grocer or butcher to giv him. fie.1 of charge, a tpuund of tea or a side of beef, siitne.

"A prominent western man," Captain Osbon said, had pledged 100,000 of this sum and eastern friends of the explorer the remain der. Mnch more would be forth coming, if needed, he declared. "Dr. Cook has been in no shape, either physically or mentally, to do himself justice in a fight lor his rights," added Captain Osbon.

A Rahbit Chase a Cat Wades bo ro Messenger and in In telligencer. The strong maternal feeling in all wild anamals was never more strik ingly illustrated than yesterday morning, when the remarkable spectacle of a rabbit chasing a cat was observed by several parties. The cat belongs to Dr. J. M.Cov ington, who lives on the Camden road, and is a great hunter. About 10 o'clock yesterday as Paul Boy lin and Touimie Ingram were rid ing along the road in the direction of the post office they saw the cat crossing the road from Mr. II. H. McLendon's rye patch with a young bunny in its mouth. Iramediatly be behind the cat came the motherrab bit following the feline into Dr .Cov ington's yard. At this time the boys jumped from the buggy and also gave the cat a chase, the cat going iuto Dr. Covington's house and the rabbit back to the field. The boys followed the cat into the house and rescued the baby rabbit alive, afterwards carrying it back to the field in which it was captured, where, probally, it was later found bv the anxious mother. llemVfr on) Mountain Scout.
