THE JUDGESHIP.

The Mitchell Mirror this
week, in mentioning the can
didacy of our townsman Mr..
S. ]. Erwin for the judgeship,
says truly, that he is "a high
toned christian gentleman
and one of the best LAWYERS
in Western North Carolina. F."
Mr.. Erwin, we may add, is the
unanimous choice of Burke
county for the judgeship, and
while the other candidates
have many warm personal
friends here, we hope to see
Mr.. Erwin get the nomination.
By his own unaided efforts,
and in the face Of difficulties
that might we'll have daunted
a man less determined and
energetic, he has forged his
way to the very front rank Of
his profession, and no man in
the State in learning, charac-
ter and temperamentis better
fitted to wear the ermine.
We bespeak for him the votes
of the district in the conven-
ton, and we take this oCca-
sion to thank our Mitchell
cotemporary for its kindly
words.

After a long debate the
Senate Of South Carolina last
week by a vote of more than
two to one, passed what is
known as the Broad Tire
bill. Under this bill the sale
of narrow-tired wagons is
prohibited after January, 1901.
but the use of the latter NAV
continue until January, 1904,
when the broad tires must be
used. In the meantime. per-
sons who use the broad tire
are to be exempted from road
duty and cOmmutation tax.
A penalty of SIS or SIS or 80
days Imprisonment is pro-
vided for violation. The argu-
ment was effectively used,
supported bv the testimony
OF experts, that the public
roads sustain much less dam
age from the use of broad
tired wagons than from those
with narrow tires. It is
thought the bill will pass the
House and be signed bv the
Governor.

HIS FAITHFUL WIFE.
Saves Rough Rider From a Long
Imprisonment in Cuba.

New York, Feb pa dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says:
Emilio Cassi who was a bugler in
the Rough Riders. has been released
from Jail by Governor General Wood,
CaSsi was serving a three years SEN
tence for having killed Lieut.. Martinez
of the Cuban army last March.
Cassi at the time was lieutenant of
police, and the shooting occurred dur
ing the progress of a fight in the In
giaterra hotel over the distribution of
the $3,000,000 among Cuban veterans
Cassi was born in Italy. but is an
against him among Cubans, who threat
ened lynching.
A wealthy Cuban girl, Miss Castillo,
became infatuated with Cassi and mar
ried him in Jail about a month after
his Imprisonment. She had given away
a fortune to the revolutionists during
the war. and after the marriage ap-
pealed to General Gomez to use his
influence for her husband.
Gomez refused because Cassi is an
American citizen. Since then she has
spent another fortune striving to gain
her husbands release. She pleaded
with Governor General Woods, Gov
ernor Roosevelt, President Mckinley,
and the military authorities here
Nothing daunted her To gain her
purpose she offered jailors large brides
until orders were issued denying her
entrance to the prison.
She disclosed to the military authorl-
ties last summer a plot of Cubans to
blow up the Tacon theater and another
municipal building in Santa Clara on
the night of the Fourth of July. The
information caused alarm in military
circles and for her conduct her hus-
bands pardon was promised if the con-
spiratOrs were arrested. Havana was
put under military guard that night,
and a regiment of soldiers watched the
buildings in Santa Clara An attempt
was made at both places. exactly ac-
cording to details furnished by Mrs.
Cassi. Three men were caught in the
act of placing packages of dynamite
under the Tacon theater
Since Governor General Woods ar
rival he has taken an interest in the
case, and considering Cassfs heroism at
Santiago he granted the pardon. Cassi
left Havana secretly after his release
and Will probably go to the United
States with his wife Immediately, as he
fears death at the hands of the Cubans

BROOKE WILL STAY.
Reconsiders His Determination to
Withdraw From the Race For
Third Term.

The Burton people will have a can
didate for representative in the coun-
try district. A. l. Brooke has finally
announced his candidacy.
Mr.. Brooke has been lowering between
a desire to be reelected for a third
term and a fear of defeat.
The man who stiffened Mr. BrookeS
backbone is Mr.. David Mulvane, who
does not want to see Mr.. Brooke sup
planted by a man who would not vote
for Burton. Mr.. Mulvane is keeping his
eye on the progress of the Burton cam
paign, and he will not neglect anything
that viii advance the interests of his
candidate. Mr.. Brooke told his friends
John B. Sims could be frightened off
the track, but when he found that Mr.
Sims wouldn't scare he allowed himself
to be persuaded that he might win.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

The scenery used in the production of
BLACK Crook. Jr." forms its only fea-

the Denver Theater company recently,
and an entire equipment of new scenery
supplied. Consequently the various
settings, illuminated in colors, form
pretty stage pictures and save the man

money under false pretenses.

company presenting the junior edition
of the old spectacular piece it failed to
come to the surface at the Crawford

old age and many imperfect attempts
to remedy failures on the part Of ma
