AT THEIR OLD TRICKS.
Fusion Board of Chatham Do Not Want
Roads.

Pittsboro, n. G.. Aug 10.-(Special -
An election was held in Oakland town
ship. Chatham county, on August 3rd,
on ''whiskey or no whiskey' and the
whiskey crowd carried it by IL majority
An application was made to the board
Of County Commissioners by w. ID.
Bright for license to retail in this town
ship, and the matter was postponed until
the first Monday in September, when
lively contest is expected This has been
a dry county for two years, the County
Commissioners refusing to grant license.
A proposition was made to this same
fusion board by Mr.. Hays. the engineer
for the Erwin cotton mills, to survey a
public road leading from Pittsboro to
this property on Haw river, a distance
of five miles, if the commissioners would
let the convicts put in the same amount
of work on the new road that they pro-
pose putting on the old road, and this
was refused by the Commissioners. The
people of this entire section of coun-
try are very indignant at this, as this
company has spent several thousand
dollars in Chatham county and propose
spending upwards of one million dollars
in the near future.
There was a novel sight on our streets
one day this week A fusion magistrate
sentenced young negro child to the
roads for term of Is days for fast driv-
ing and cruelty to animals. The chains
that bound the prisoner were nearly as
heavy as he was, besides two guards
were acting as attendants to the prisoner.

Apostle Lyman's Discussion of the
Subject.
Especial to The HeraId)

Especial to The Hera)i)
Kanosh, May 23.-The denial of Presi-
dent Lorenzo Snow on the subject of
plural marriage was repeated and en-
phasized by Apostle Francis NJ. Lyman
at Beaver where overflow meetings
were necessary TO accommodate the
throng of special conference visitors
last night.
The meetings lasted until after 10
o'clock. After urging obedience to the
tithing law and appealing to the Saints
for their earnest support in the plan Of
liquidating church Indebtedness,
Apostle Lyman said: Il want to declare
unto this people that plural marriage
is not live ordinance in the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to-
day. The law has been taken from us,
and the practice is suspended by the
manifesto of President MILFORD Wood
ruff. Even before that was issued We
find that only per cent of the people
accepted of the doctrine, although our
leaders were bounded and prosecuted
year after year.
Again 1 say it has been suspended,
and" continued the apostle. in great
earnestness, Il challenge any man to
say it has been encouraged by the lead
ers o. officers of this church since the
manifesto came forth. /, as an apostle
hundreds of times by faithful believers
as to the law of plural marriage, and
my answer to them has invariably
been that it could not be done; that
plural marriages had ceased in the
church of God at his own command. My
associates will testify to the same ex-
perience, but the time is coming when
God will have it otherwise"
A drive of fifty-five miles brought
President Snow and party to Kanosh
from Beaver today. They were met on
the outskirts of the town by fifty young
men and ladies, mounted on horses, and
led by Major 3. H. Watts and a num-
Der of prominent residents on horses,
who headed the procession. carrying a
large flag and a handsome banner, upon
which was inscribed: 'Zion's youth are
made glad and the gray boards bid you
welcome"
On Main street President Snow met
the children, who followed TO the meet
ing-house. all the time cheering their
beloved leader. The president spoke
for few moments, afterwards shaking
hands with 256 people.
a meeting at Meadow in the after
noon and the evening at Fillmore is the
programme for tomorrow. The party
lunched TODAY at the old Cove Creek
fortress. erected in 1867, which is still
in good state of preservation.

FORTUNE FOR CREEDF'S CHILD
DEAD MINER HAD MONEY IN
DENVER BANK.
The Little Girl May Also Come In
Fer a Share Of the Famous Anne
thyst Mine.

Los Angeles, May 2i.-John 7. Jones,
the attorney handling the property of
the late n. c. Creole, has returned from
a trim east. He visited Denver While
away. for the purpose of cleaning up
certain business details left by Creede
in that city in rather a chaotic condi-
ton.
Major Jones sought out the First
National bank of that city, where he
presented Creede's bank books for the
purpose of having the account of the
dead miner cleared. No one suspected
Creole of having penny left in the
Denver bank no record of any deposit
in that institution having been found
among his effects when he died. Upon
a check of Creede's deposit, he was
found to have a balance in the bank OF
so. COS so. Major Jones received word
from Denver yesterday that the money
had been turned over to the Creole eS-
tate.
If Major Jones can bring about the
result. little Dorothy Creole will also
soon have another windfall in the form
of stock in the celebrated Amethyst
mine. located at Creole, Colo, valued at
81, $50. 900. This property is claimed as
Creede's share, and unless the claim is
allowed, a suit at law will be brought
to recover ii.
Major Jones said today that unless
the owners of the mine, who are d. ii.
Moffatt, w S. Cheeseman. l.. Campbell
and Il. T Smith, all of Denver, made
a satisfactory compromise, the matter
will be taken into the courts. The nee
essary legal documents for the purpose
are now being drawn. 1t is Major
Jones opinion that the case WI prob
ably be settled out of court.
Dorothy Creole, who was adopted by
the dead miner a short time before he
died. is now with her mother, Mrs.
Bassford, residing at San Francisco.
