the idea of forming a Democratic as
ISOLATION Of editors and in placing him
in nomination for the presidency, Mr..
Boylin. of the Wadesboro Messenger
and Intelligencer, referred to Mr..
Dowd's recommendation for its estab-
lishment and said it would be fitting to
make him it's first president, and there
upon he was elected by acclamation.
There was a discussion on campaign
literature, led by Mr.. Hammer and an
interchange of views upon other topics
of interest to the editors. 1t is hoped
that every Democratic editor in the
State will become a member of the as
ISOLATION, and that it will be developed
into great power for the furtherance
of Democratic principles.

REUNION OF THE VETERANS.
They Will Meet in the Senate Cham
be. this Afternoon.

Year by year those who wore the
gray are becoming fewer in number.
As they drop out and the thinning
ranks close up the tie Of comradeship
binding those that are left, becomes
stronger.
For this reason each succeeding re-
union of veterans is greater than the
last Not greater in the number of
those in attending il, but the spirit that
pervades the gathering is sweeter, the
affection OF the hattle-scurred heroes for
each other il more touching and the
honor and reverence OF the outside world
for them and the cause they represent
is more marked.
Such gathering will be held in this
city today, in the Senate chamber at the
capitol. The hour Of meeting is
o'clock.

ANDERSON md, August IS The
wire nail trust is having the fight OF
its life and the manner in which it IS
shutting down its plants at this and
other points and keeping them closed,
and the way the new antitrust COM
bine is putting its concerns into night
as well as day operation indicates that
the fight is becoming, serious to the life
of the trust.
The trust owns the fourteen largest
concerns in the country and until with
in the last few months has been able
to keep all other plants closed down.
1t has held the prices up and reduced
the wages of workers as much as ~
per cent at this point. The grinding
became so marked tht the American
Federation Of Labor took UP the mat
ter and brought about a fight. Glenn
ent Biddle, the big hardware man of
Philadelphia and millionaire, effected
the organization of the antitrust COM
DiuG duQ uOW las tSA pAdAlS Ill OlGId-
ton; among them being the new mills
at Ashland, KY. which are the finest
in the country.
Within the last two weeks every one
of these plants has been forced to night
operation to keep pace with the orders
that are pouring in. The mills in this
city were put into full operation at
night as well as day. All of the plants
are being enlarged to their fullest ca
pacity and are doing a wonderful bus
mess. The trusts big plant at this
point has been closed since May l and
there are no indications that it will
reopen. The trust officials state that
they are unable to get the billets neces-
sary to operate. The antitrust COM
bine is having practically no trouble
and has enough to keep going all the
time.

TOLEDO, OHIO, August q: Carlton
Simone, we'll known young man Nv

his mother by shooting her through the
heart At 3 o'clcck the young man was
awakened by noice in the house, and
for some time he lay in his bed and
listened without moving. The neigh
borhcod has had experience with burg
lars on several occasions lately, and
young Simone had provided himself
with a revolver as matter of pre-
caution. The noise continued, and he
was fully convinced that burglars had
entered the place. He reached for his
gun. which was handy, and prepared
to shoot If he had a chance. In a few
minutes a. figure appeared in the door
way, and with a careful aim he fired
once. There was a cry of pain, and he
saw his victim fall. He hastily secured
light, and found that he had shot his
mother. Life was extinct, as the ball
had passed through the heart.
1t is not known why Mrs. Simone
was up, and she never spoke after she
was shot. The young man is distract

WALTER WELLMAN,
Back in England, Tells of His Work in tn
North,

HULL, England, August 28.-Wai-
ter Wellman, the leader of the Well
man Polar expedition, who reached
Tromsoe, Norway, August II after hav-.
ing successfully completed explora-
tions in Franz Josefland, arrived here
to-day He walks with the aid OF
clutches, his right leg, which was SER
iously injured by fall into snow-cov-
cred crevasse while Mr.. Wellman was
leading his party, still being useless.
The explorer was accompanied by the
American members of the expedition
who are well. In an interview with a
reporter of the Associated Press, Mr.
Wellman said: ''The object of the eX-
petition was two-fold-to complete ex-
ploration of Franz Josefland of which
the north and northeast parts were
practically unknown and to reach a
high altitude or even the pole itself.
The first object was successfully ac-
complished. The second would have
been achieved, at least to a greater ex-
tent than previous explorers but for
the accident to myself.
''The point at which we turned back
was rs miles northwest of freedom
Islands, where DIR. hansen landed in
1895. North of these islands we photo
graphed three islands and some land,
unseen either by Payer or hansen.
We also found that Payers so-called
Dove glacier does not exist.
Il still believe it is possible to reach
the pole by Franz Josefland, but 1 can,
not say if l shall make an another eff
fort" e
The party proceeded Immediately to
London where they arrived this after
noon.
