Butler gang will hug n kiss and plot.
1T is their nature too" 1t is wonderful
how demoralizing the lust of office has
been upon some sort of men. Wha.
would the remnant of the combine do
without office? How can they possibly
ever get office without the negro to
fetch the toothsome chestnut out of
the fire? A fellow would better be "a
dog and bay the moon than to play
the low political games that some men
are playing in North Carolina. What a
tribe of hungry, desperate office hunt
ers and office holders is that maripu-
lating, artful, anxious Holton-Butler
gang.

OF course the black brute Tom Jones
will plead insanity for his six murders,
and insanity all his life. And yet he
was permitted to marry and have a
large family and preach, for he vas a
parson, and go about at will. That in
sanity dodge is very plausible and
some times very potential, with the
criminal laws favorable to murderers
and killers of the second degree" and

Divorces are on the rampage in North
Carolina. Will not the legislature in
the approaching session take steps to
limit this rapidly growing curse? Put
up the bars high. Take the New Tes-
lament for a guide as to what to do. 1t
would be indeed a patriotic service to
put a strong brake on the dowu-hill
divorce train. Think of it.

covered by one Of the counters In going
over the sheets of notes When the
loss was first detected. an immediate
search was begun for the two sheets
believing they were simply mislaid and
that being incomplete no one would
take them They were not numbered
or signed, and did not contain the great
seal
Despite all this the notes were passed
IN the city and made their way back

fused on the ground that they were not

banks OF the city through which the
notes passed. are In any way able TO
assist in the Identification Of the per-
son who passed them. The notes were
of the $40 denomination. and there were
four notes on each sheet making the
amount of the theft $50. The loss does
not fall upon the government, but upon
those who accepted the notes.
Every effort is being made 20 capture
