ATFRRIFIED CAPITALIST.
Saw Mill Men Took to the Woods Fearing BE

To the Editor: News has reach

shooting of President Mckinley at
Buffalo. While most of us voted for
Bryan and are still votin" for his prin-
eiples, individually and collectively, we
unite in deploring this as a cowardly.
act and national calamity.
Still there is a ludicrous side, even to
calamities. When the tidings reached
Cherry Mountain, the captain of saw
mill pulled his hat and fed. On being
caught he said he feared the Presidency
might be forced on him, and he recoiled
before the possibility. On being Informed
that the martial Teddy Roosevelt would
catch the descending mantle If the
wounds of President Mckinley proved
fatal, he seemed relieved, but was sooI

that live paper. Mr.. Battle was unusual
ly successful in obtaining a large num-

this fact for many reasons, one of whicf
is that our people should know more
about their own State, which they can dc
by reading North Carolina papers. They
have the same press dispatches, and II
local matter they certainly equal the
Virginia papers. BY reading the Virginla

TO CALL OFF THE ELECTION,
For Issuing Bonds to Macadamize the County

Especial to News and Observer
Greensboro, n. c., Sept. 21.-The Good
Roads Club has decided to call off the
election on the question of issuing bonds
to the amount of $4,000 for the pur-
pose of matchmaking the public roads
of this county. The election was to have
been held on November 21st, bur the
people in some sections appeared 10 take
such little interest in it that it was fear
ed the proposition would fail to receive a
majority of the qualified votes of the
county, especially since a new regis
tration could not be secured.
The next Legislature will be asked to
give the people an opportunity to vote
on a bill along this line.

Arbor Day.

Friday, October 20, has been named
by State Supt. Schaeffer as Autumn
Arbor Day.
Pennsylvania now owns 324, 900 acres
as a forest reserve, and we feel safe to
say that Forestry is to be one Of the
leading professions after while. Boys
and girls of our schools should be
taught just what it will mean to our
future farms and homes if our forests
are not better protected. Our Legisla-
ture and Courts are moving in this di-
rection and our schools should help in
the work Many Of our school grounds
have not one tree on them and we there
fore request teachers and pupils to OBJ
serve Arbor Day this year by planting
few trees or in other appropriate ex-
ercise, where trees are already growing
! wish here also to announce two ed
ucational meetings which / will hold at
the following places: Middle Lancaster,
Friday evening October 25 and Harris
vile November l. at 7:45. All interest
ed in our schools are invited TO attend
these meetings. HOWARD l. PAINTER,

Mt. Chestnut.

This noble village is on a 45-degree
line from Middletown, Hooker, P. %
and as the drillers say the rock forma-
ton in that vicinity is the same as at the
latter place, it promises TO become an
oil town-the centre of a Specify sand
field
For some days past the leasers have
been fiocking out from Butler in that
direction, it not being extraordinary for
six leasers to put in an appearance at
one home during the same day.
They are leasing belt from three to
four miles wide, on a Al degree line
from the ield in Concord twp. This
takes in the greater part of Centre twp.
and one man of that twp, who got some
money and who was in Butler the other
day, ''set it up" for the crowd with a
$50 bill The bar-keeper thought he
saw game in the matter and rendered
the farmer 40 silver dollars in change;
and the crowd had another drink.
The leasers are paying 81 and S3 an
