Greensboro. y. g., October I.-Seven
hundred people heard Pritchard and
Craig speak in the opera house here to-
day. the crowd was with Craig. but
plainly more evenly divided than at any
previous meeting. Both speeches were
along lines heretofore reported Pritch-
ard opened the debate. making for the
first half hour the same speech made
here at the republican state convention
Craig followed with his customary elo-
quent array of charges against the SEN
ator and his party.
In his fifteen minutes repoinder,
Pritchard was Smelling democrats rs
having appointed negroes 10 office and
their talk of white supremacy being
shame and at each period the republi-
can contingent would go Wild with de-
lighted shouts. Presently in a lun, IN
awful sound OF kissing gliding around
the building. made him pale with as
tonished anger, Craig rushed TO the
front TO beg that il be stopped, when
Pritchard waved him aside, "You shall
not make it appear as IL you intended
your protection. If a single republican
IN my SecCOn were 10 treat you so. l
should pitch him out the window"
There was one other period or Kisses
and Pritchard did not condescend 10
notice it.
Pritchard said that when negroes
dominated the republican party Craig
was down in BERTHE county with them.

he went TO Asheville and was "a warm

republicans. Craig was not present.

Judge Adams Denies That He
Framed the Mill Dam Resolutions.
Especial to The MeSsenger.)

GREENSBORO, N. u, OCTOBER l.
His many friends, political and per-
sonal of Judge Adams. will be glad to
knw that the report which was current
here, and is yet, that he instigated the
notorious Mill Dam Revolution in the
republican county convention, is denied
by him. In a letter just received by
this correspondent from Judge Adams,
who is now in South McAllster. I. T., he
says:
following: 'Rumor is also rife 20 the ef-
feet that Chief Justice Adams. who left
this morning to hold his Chickasaw-
Choctaw court in the Indian Territory,
was the advisor, if not the author OF the
resolution meaning the resolution
passed by the recent republican conven-
ton of Guilford county with reference
to the prosecution pending in the supe-
rior court of Guilford county. known as
the Mill dam suit. I desire to state that
I was not the author of that resolution.
neither did I advise 1t. In fact, L had
nothing to do with thai or any other
resolution passed at the convention and
knew nothing about it until late in the
afternoon after the conver ZION was over,
when some one told me about it on the
street. ! had nothing to do with the con-
vention or any Of its proceedings, and
am at a loss to understand why any
one should have given you any such in
formation that is so totally unfounded
in truth. and am loath to believe that
you would do me such an injustice.

New Use for Refined Paramne Wax.

A new and important use for Refined
Paraffine Wax seems TO have been dis
covered by prominent resident OF
Ohio. living near Lancaster, who had
two trees badly damaged by storm, one
being a maple and the other an apple
In each case a large limb was broken
down from the trunk, but still attach
ed to II. The limbs were propped up
and fastened securely with straps, very
much as d broken leg might be fastened
with splints, and then melted refined
wax poured into and over all the cracks
The surgical operation" was entirely
successful. The Paraffine prevented the
escape Of the sap, kept out the rain
and moisture which would have rotted
the trees, prevented the depredations
of insects, and the limbs seem thus far
to be perfectly re-attached to the trees.

Easily you might suppose that the pain
in the lower part of your back meant
kidney trouble. But being a person of

Man Who Was Once Governor of New Mexico Working at Job
 Printing

Once a United States senator from Kansas and later the governor of New Mexico, E. G. Ross is working at the case in job printing office in 1Albu- querque. Here is what the Albuquerque correspondent of the Boston Tram script says of the old man: "When called on him recently I found him in his woodward, in the rear of his house-a rusty, bent, decrepit-looking old man. With an old handsaw he was, with painful effort, wrestling from the trunk of a fallen pinion the wood with which to cook his dinner. The former senat or is perforce his own man-of-all-work. His appearance in these small duties is even more pathet- ic than that he presents when, every evening al regularly as the neighbor- ing whistle blows, he appears upon the streets in faded garb of ancient cut, bending upon his cane, looking neither up nor aside, recognizing no one, doing his few errands, again to return from his self-chosen isola ton of the crowded streets to the greater seclusion of his home. He bears ever a hunted and haggard Look"
