Atkins, the bril liant and zealous presiding elder of the Shelby district, left last wee for Arizona to seek to regain his shattered health. He was not ablo to go to Conference, and it was though; best for him to go direct to Arizona. He ex perienced a complete physical collapse a few months ago and he has never been able to re cover sumcieotty to give nis work tnat close attention which he desired, and which it requires. Shelby regrets exceedingly to lose Mr. Atkins aud his ex cellent family, and all join us in wishing for him a spedy and complete recovery As an evidence of the standing of Mr. Atkins in the Conference as soon as his physical break down was made known, the Con ference at once made a cash con tribution of 403 for his benefit. It was generous act. Some Fine Pears.

BEAM'S MILLS LETTER. Interesting Items of News from a Thriv ing Village -Other Notes. Special to The Star: : Beam's Mills, Nov. 15 Peo ple general y have finished gath ering their crops; and are pre paring their wheat land with a rush. The rain Saturday and Sunday will put thrn behind several days. Cot oa was not a full crop, and the largest por tion of it has been sold. As long as the prije was up, the farmers sold it. but thev held it w.;en the price went down. by the way, Mr. Editor, the radicals at Fallstou, voted for a Democrat, for townshin consta ble, who wasn't i. the race. The gentleman whom they voted for, is a true blue Democrat, and ho says he wants it distinctly under stood that he aid n t know any thing about the rals voting for him. that he didn't want them too, and that when he wanted an office, he would 'ask it at the hands of the D 'mocr uic party, and not of the. Republican. The Republicans claim they have made great gains in state and county, aud everybody knows that is not true, What do the Republicans have to say about the penitentiary being self-sup- poriing, and taking up the $60,000 in bonds? The farmers in this section are going to enforce the bird law. Bird-hunters had better be care- ul. Rev. T. Dixon has moved from Fallston to Mr. R. L. Allen's, where he will reside in the future. Mr. Jno. E. Oates and estim able familv will leave in a few u davs for northern Texas, where they will make their future home. We regret to lose them from our midst. The wedding bells will be ringing pretty soon. Look out! Hamrick Whisnant. The following cards, hand somely engraved, have been is sued to their many friends: Mr. and Mrs. John Franklin Whisnant invife you to be present at the marriage of their daughter Ola, to Vr. Burriss Olan Hamrick, Tuesday evening, Nov.' twenty second, one thousand nine nunureu ana iour, at half after eight o'clock, First Methodist Church, Shelkyr North Carolina. The croom is a voung man of much popularity and most high lv esteemed, and he is a son of Ex Sheriff M. N. Hamrick, while the bride-to-be is a young lady ot many charms and graces and she numbers her friends by the score. Miss Whisnant is a daugh ter of Mr. J. P. Whisnant. The Star extends warmest congra tulations. THE GENERAL ELECTION. A Surprisingly Large Republican Vote in The Doubtful States-North Carolina Election. The election last week was surpris'og nationally because of the size of the Republican ma jorities in the doubtful spates. Roosevelt was elected over- whelminclv and he carried everv doubtful stat", and in fact every state in the Uuion outside of the South, and he carried o ie South ern state, Missouri, although the latter state electe 1 Joe v . Foltr. a Democrat, for Governor. The result of the election cau only be explained by Chair man Taggart that wedidu't have enough Democrats. It is of lit tie value to search for causes of Democratic defeat, suffice it to say that tho people didn't care fcr a change ox the national ad ministration, and he further fact that the Re publ cans had an un limited campaign fundi The thing of more concern to the cguntry generally and the South in particular, is what policy the President and his party will pur sue in the immediate future ? Some surprises came with the election. For instance, Massa chusetts went Republican by over 80,000, yet William L. Douglass, a Democrat, was elec ted Govenor by 37,000. Minnes sota, Colorado and Missouri all went Republican, yet each state elected a Democratic govenor. Pennsylvania, always Republi can, gave Roosevelt a plurality of over 474,000. New York went for Roosevelt by 174,000, and the Democratic State ticket wns defeated bv something over 09,000. Texas went- Democratic by 200,000 majority and elected every Congressman. of any. man on . . u;( ctnrps ,be'o,7vSr.i,sca InanV at liiwuual . , -Ww. a.TO.

Family Re-Union. .Bin Ko a big family re- union or the Grigg family at the old Grigg homestead near Lawn- Death or Mrs. Hoyle. Mrs. Florence Hoyle, the wi- Ann nf Mr. Wm. Hovle. died last Tuesday, Nov. 8th, at her home at Waco, of stomach trouble.

The Star sympathizes deeply with the sorrowing children nu rela tives in their sore bereavement. NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION. This State went Democratic by about 50,000 majority. The offi cial vote has not been received from every county, but Governor Glenn and the State ticket go in by from 47,000 to 57,000 majori ty. The Democrats elected 1U1 of the 120 numbers or the house, and 44 of the 50 senators, giving the Democrats the same majority in the aext general assembly which, they had in the legisla ture of 1903. Nine congressmen are Demo crats, and the eighth district is still in doubt, bpencer lilack burn. Republican, being elected by about 150 votes on the face of the returns, although grss frauds are alleged to have been committed by the Republicans in various counties m the district, notably in Stanley, Surry and Wilkes. At some precincts the Republicans got more votes than they had voters registered. Aside from Blackburn's election the result in North Carolina was most satisfactory from a Demo cratic point of view.

Owing to the prevalence of pneumonia and the great mortal ity it has caused, the board of health of New Jersey has pub lished a remedy which is said to he a sure cure for pneumonia. The formila is as follows: "Take six to ten onions, ac cording to size, and chop fine; put in a large spider over a hot hre. then aud about the same quantity of rye meal and vinegar enough to form a thick paste In the meanwhile stir thorough ly, letting the mixture simmer ti''eor ten minttes. Then put into a cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs and apply to the chest as hot as the patient can bear it. In about ten min utes apply another and thus con tinue by repeating the poultices, and in a few hours the patient will he out of danger. Usually three or four applications will be enough, but continue always un t'l the prespiration starts freely from the chest. This remedy was formulated many years ago by one of the best physicians in New England." dale, on Thursday, An elegant dinner, a large crowd and a great time is expected. Edicational Rally.
