WAS TWICE HANGED
Member of the Ku-KIux KIan
Who Would Not Peach.
Mr.. Lucien Murray Recently Underwent a
Severe Surgical Operation Without the
Use AneSthetics.
Use Anesthetics.

Mr.. Lucien Murray, an elderly citizen
of Alamance county. is known by num-
Der of North Carolina people, who speak
of his courage and nerve in terms OF
admiration. During the Kirk War he
was arrested for connection with the Ku
Klux Klan, and an attempt was made to
extort a confession from him which would
implicate others. He was subjected to
pretty rough treatment by Kinks men,
who went so far as to hang him up by
the neck twice. Although he was pretty
near dead he held out firmly and never
showed the slightest inclination to
peach The hanging injured his neck
and in later years caused a large tumor
to grow on it which threatened his life.
A few months ago Mr.. Murray went to
New York to have the tumor removed.
He underwent the severe surgical opera
tion without the use of anesthetics of any
kind--another display of unflinchng cour-
age not met with every day.

soieum, with all its matchlt.ts% ,4endor
of white marble and precious y .ones, is
but an ornament after all. Mr.. Raney's
memorial libra ry will be of practical bene-
fit to countless thousands, and they will
rise up and bless the founder and the OBJ
ject of his devotion for years to come in
Vulnerable.
1t has been said that a public library
is the peoples university, and indeed this
it is university where all come of their
own accord and in their own way, and
none from compulsion, an ideal university
In which every known branch of human
knowledge can be studied, and where the
most glorious gems of human thought in
all ages and climes are gathered in
form to be beheld by those who wish to
derive the benefit that comes from their
sparkling rays of light.
The people of Raleigh appreciate Mr.
Raney's magnificent gift all the more
from the fact that it is given to them
absolutely in fee simple. with no reserva-
tions whatever. 1t is theirs to use as
they see fit, and to enjoy without re-
straint or the feeling that they are using
what is not their own. On the annals
of the great deeds of Raleigh's citizens,
no act VIII nave more prominent place,
or he more gratefully recorded, than this
generous gift that will contribute so much
toward the uplifting and cultivating of
the people of North Carolina's capital. 1t
is one more page in Raleigh's glorious
civic history and the people know it to
be one of the greatest in the whole book.
In the charter granted by the General
Assembly, the following gentlemen are
named as constituting the body corporate
Of the Olivia Raney Library: Richard H.

The selection Of a librarian has been
a most happy one. Miss Jennie Coffin
will serve the public in this capacity.
Both her eminent fitness for the posi-
tion and the fact that she was a warm
personal friend of her in whose memory
this library is established makes the
a peculiarly suitable one for
the interests of the public and the library

enumerated, there are these we'll worthy
of your attention:
]. Under normal and just condition
of affairs the profit of the producer of the
raw material, of the small manufacturer
ana small dealer, and the sums saved to
the consumer by the lower price to them
where there is competition-all these
sums stay here and their accumulation
will make the State rich. Under trVst
rule all these profits are accumulated in
few hands and are steadily carried out
the State to our permanent impoverish-
ment
2. The owners of the vast accumulations
of the illegal concerns, operating un-
der the prohibition of both State and
Federal statutes, require to be protected
against the penalties denounced by those
statutes. To that end portions OF the
amounts illegally levied by these modern
Dick Turpins are set aside for the pur-
chase or control of newspapers, for dona-
tions to educational institutions, which
shall indoctrinate our youth with senti-
ments Of the holiness and beauty of trusts
and the libeTality of trust magnates, and
in the debauching of elections and the ma
nipulation of Legislatures and Congresses
through lobbyists and other we'll known
and reprehensible methods They are
thus cancer on the body polite.
These and other evils are known to
everyone. They are like the sun, but
only in that none can fail to see them.
No one denies the eXis of these evils
or apologies for them save those who
are employed by the trusts or who are in
some way favored or controlled by them.
Public sentiment and the. public interest
are against them. But the trusts sur
vive and prosper. The people of the State
can put an end to them. Will they do
it? Shall it be said of our people as of
the allied armies of 1914. You can do
everything and you attempt nothing"
The British government of 1875 in this
country stood for plutocracy. The Wings
of that day, led by Washington, Adams,
Jefferson and others, stood for govern
mont of men and conquered. The trusts
of this day are a revival of the Tories
of 1916 and stand for a government ny
the monied classes Are we weaker than
our forefathers? They won the right of
self government for us. Shall we lose it?
Shall we permit the true centre of gov
ernment to go back again to the money
centres Of London and New York? You
say no, thousands time no. Continue
your agitation. Let the truth of the pres
ent condition of affairs get to the masses
of our countrymen, let them understand
that the termination of the evils that
afflict us will come when they shall real
ly will it, and the trusts and all like
evils that now overcome us will disappear
like mists before the rising sun of the
peoples sovereignty.

FOR AN AUDITORIUM
The Four Propositions That
Have Been Submitted.
Mr.. Blake Discusses Them and Shows That the
Trade Building Proposition is Not
Good One.

To the Editor:-I submit the following
statements and figures with the hope that
we may choose the best proposition for
the Auditorium:

FIRST PROPOSITION

statements and figures with the hope that
we may choose the best proposition for
the Auditorium:
FIRST PROPOSITION.
The Trade building fronts Wilmington
street 91x1S5 feet to rear. The four stores,
| learn, rent for $4,000 per month. The
second floor rents for $4,000; the upper
story is not rented So the building as
rented now brings in 1,2O0 per year. q In
the proposed plan-building Auditorium
in rear, using one of the stores as en-
trance, would leave the receipts for rent
as now rented $l,02O. ts{,E

Expenses exceeding rent. .......$ 81 ,205.96
From this S205.O0 should be subtracted
whatever could be collected from the up
per story. At a liberal estimate we
judge there would have to be at least
$4,000 used from the rent of the Audito-
rum to meet the excess of expense.
Tho Auditorium hall, as per plan is Tex
120 feet-seating capacity, and will cost
$4,000.
Taking into consideration the above
facts, the uncertainty of rents, the trou-
BILE of managing, and no revenue from the
building, is it wise or feasible PROPOSE
ton? An Auditorium built on this lot
would not be as eligible for renting pur-
poses as it would be if better located.
Estimated rent of the hall. after paying

cipion of having stolen case of surgical
Instruments
The fellow attempted TO dispose OF the
property at the Hooking Drug company,
at PIG Douglas avenue Owing to his be-
ing stranger suspicion rested upon him
and the officers were notified which re-
suited in his arrest
To .Mr, sutton he gave his name as
George Collins He accounted for the
instruments by saying he was formerly
medical student at Kansas City, but this
story is discredited by the authorities.
The instruments consisted of knives,
lances etc, and were a complete set. ap-
parently new and enclosed in a pocket
case. The name of the manufacturer on
the case was obliterated, which is evil
dence that the property was stolen.
Mr. Hooking has a stock of surgical
instruments and ne says that it is pos
sible that the case was stolen from his
sotre. However, he is unable to identify
the property.
When taken to the hold-over, Collins
was searched. but no sign of a letter or
paper of any marks of identification was
found on his person. He said ne came
to Wichita from Newton and Mr.. SUIT
ton has written to the police there.
