HIS 800 GONE.
Mr.. Mosser Has Heard Nothing from
That Naughty Pickpocket.

Mr.. Mosser Has Heard Nothing from
That Naughty Pickpocket.
Mr. w. f. Mosser, accompanied by
his wife and daughter, passed through
the city last week on their return
from a visit to Wilkes county. Their
home is in Allentown, Pa.
Mr. Mosser is the gentleman who had
his pocket picked to the tune of 800
while standing on the deport platform
in Greensboro October 18th.
When asked last week if he had
heard anything from his money or the
man who got it, he replied that he
had not. He added that he never ex-
pected to hear from either.
Mr.. Mosser, who is an elderly gen
tleman, smiled while talking to the
reporter about his i'll luck. He did
not say so, but the news man is of the
opinion that 800 is only fraction of
what the jolly Pennsylvania is worth
and he is willing to let the pickpocket
keep what he got-but of course he is
not anxious for the fellow to tackle
him again.

Will Force HoIton to Resign.

As is known, District Attorney
Holton is holding two offices. He is
still Chairman of the State Execu-
tive Committee, but the news has
been sent out from Raleigh that Gov.
Russell intends to force Holton to re-
sign the Chairmanship and that the
friends of Russell on the Committee
liz he has any will elect Chairman
who is friend to the so-called Gov.
ernor. Mr.. Holton will evidently re-
sign at an early date as the constitu.
tion of North Carolina forbids any
citizen who holds an office under the

REV. SAMJONES' HOME.
He Had the Old Home Raised Above
the New One

He Had the Old Home Raised Above
the New One.
A friend who attended Rev. Sam
Jones birthday celebration October
16 b writes as follows about the
Evangelist and his home:
''Sam Jones has a beautiful home,
surrounded by every comfort. There
is no effort at useless display, but all
is elegant in its very simplicity. l
have heard Sam Jones criticised be-
cause of this very home, but L suppose
he has long ago become used to the
voice of the calumniator. He can do
no more nor less than make his fami-
ly comfortable, and for every dollar he
has expended on that home in Car
tersville he has worked and toiled
many and many months. There may
be those who have enmity toward Sam
Jones, but he knows no enemies.
81 was struck with something about
Sam Jones' home which is typical of
his life When he built his present
home he had the old home, which was
a one-story frame building, raised and
the new portion built under it. The
old homestead is there, but 1t is ele-
waited aud made beautiful by the new
part, which is handsome foundation
So it is with the life Of the owner.
The old Sam Jones has been lifted up
with new man and firm founda
tion, the tmaker and builder OF
which is God" While the entire new
structure is beautiful to behold, yet
the old Sam Jones is still there with
the humor and the boyishness and the
love for all mankind.
.What struck me more forcibly than
anything else at that gathering was
the utter simplicity OF Sam Jones's
home life. With his family aud his
friends he was like happy boy. and
as l watched him I thought: Beneath
this quiet. meek, eet-tempered
nature there lies the power to move
and sway the MULTI udes, as beneath
the placid stream the swift and strong
current bears all before it to the
ocean,"

SLANDERER D0WNED.
FOUL UTTERANCES OF A DIR.
TY DRUMMER.

Evangelist Lee Resented Them, But
ical Robes-Capt. Bob Glenn
Made Him Sneak Away.
Friday night on the train from Sal
isbury to Greensboro was a man who
said he was drummer.
He was very mouthy, telling how he
managed to sell so many goods, to-
wit: by carrying around with him q
few three cent cigars and a pint of
mean corn whiskey by which he said
he could fool any Southern buyer, as
they had but little sense.
He talked loudly and many In the
car heard him. Finally he said the
preachers all drank and he had often
had them drink with him from a bot
tie when out OF sight OF their congre-
cations.
Sitting few seats behind the drum
mer was evangelist Lee, who could
not stand such an imputation, SO he
proceeded to make few remarks, the
g1st OF which was that the man was
slandering the people of the South
and in short was telling / falsehood.
The drummer said were it not for
Mr.. Lees clerical robes he would wipe
up the ground with him. Mr.. Lee
told the man not to consider his cleri-
Cal coat as he could protect himself.
or course the man did not avail
himself OF the offer, but Capt. r. B.
Glenn, of Winston, who was standing
by, full OF indignation, remarked that
he was no preacher, but a lawyer, and
he wanted to repeat that what he 1.-THE
drummer) had said about the people of
this part OF the country and especially
the ministers, was downright false
hood and If he wanted to take 1t up
for him to pitch in, there being no
clerical robes iu the way.
or course the sneak did nothing but
sneak away into the next car. No one
on the train knew the mans name.
The fellow said he was a Southern
man, but lady on the train from
Fayetteville told him that he did not
talk like Southern man.
Capt. Glenn says all OF the ladies as
well as the drummers were insulted
and highly indignant and he thinks
that if there had been no ladies on the
train the travelling men would have
given the chap genteel thrashing.
The man came up to Winston next
morning but Capt. Glenn was unable
to find out his name.
The merchants should learn such
men a lesson by refusing to buy goods
| from them.
Capt. Glenn commends Evangelist
Lees action. "He raised himself one
hundred per cent. in my estimation" I"

Mr.. 81. e Fries went over to the
Yadkin river last Thursday to look af-
ter the work on the "harness" enter

alright again. The river was up four
teen feet one day.
The men at work putting up poles
for the wires are about five miles from
town. The line follows the railroad
from the river to point near the
Davis School, where it leaves the rail-
road and runs directly to the distri-
buting station which is located just
west of the Wachovia Mills, Salem.
The eight largest and modern tur-
bine wheels, which will furnish the
power, have arrived.
The granite that Is being used In
the construction of the power house
and dam at the river is found near
the river ana blasting and drilling are
all that is needed TO make il ready fol

the pain.

opinion that the farmers have decided
to dispose of the weed at once. Over
one million pounds have been sold
here since the new crop came in. This
means that at least one twentieth OF

opinion of several tobacconists that
Winston will sell eighteen or twenty
million pounds of leaf this year.
