Pisgah News Notes.

The cotton is nearly all open here.
Picking is going forward as fast as
possible, and by the Goth of Sept. the
crop will be about out and sold. The
yield to the acre is about what it was
last year.
Protracted meetings have been 60
ing on for some time. Rev. Mr..
Thacker had very interesting one at
Smithyille. There were eighteen ad-
ditions to the church. He was assist.
ed by several ministers. Last week he
aided pastor Smith in meeting al
McLeod's church.
The State primary shows some sur
prises. One notable one the indepen-
dence of the voters. The defeat OF
MNMahan is to be regretted. His sue
cessor will make no better, IL as good
an officer. Capt. Heyward's vote is a
fine tribute to him as a man as he had
no political record TO be judged by.
Talbest's record is one that any man
can be proud of. AS superintendent
Of the penitentiary he made a model
one. As Congressman he had no supe.
nor from the South. He soon taught

will not soon forget. Either man will
make a good Governor, and it is only
a matter of personal like or choice.
Was Senator Tillman's saying that
Evans and Latimer always supported
him, the reason they came out
ahead, or was it factional preference.
You know the four gentlemen who are
defeated in the primary, are all able
men. Either would make good
Senator. There is TOO much indiffer-
ence in politics. Men do not value
their franchise as they should. It is
the duty of all men to vote.
Betting On elections, and othe,
things have got to be disgrace to ou,
country. The newspapers are full OF
"guesses, on different subjects which
is nothing less than gambling indi-
rectly. It is sapping the foundation OF
our citizenship. cannot see how man
Of respectability can gamble or bet.
It is wrong and the press should con-
demn it in no gentle words.

TO BE ASKED TO LEAVE
Reports From Rome Say That
Friars Will Be Asked to
Withdraw.


Rome. Aug. .1.--According TO state
ments obtained from reliable sources,
il is the intention of the vatican that
the friars of the Augustine, Dominican,
Franciscan and Recolleto orders now in
Manila, who number about $50 men,
should leave there in small numbers at
different times so that when the mo-
ment comes to resume negotiations be-
tween Governor Taft and the apostolic
delegation, all the friars will have left
the archipelago in such a way, that
the friar question will have resolved it
self without the necessity of further
discussion.
The foregoing plan is interpreted as
a late but significant recognition by
the vatican that Secretary Roots first
proposition, made 70 the vatican
through Governor Taft, was the most
liberal that could be devised for the
settlement of the question.
The great influence of religious or
ders in Rome must be reckoned with,
however. should they think il TO be to
their interest to resist the measures.
From present indications this would
seem not to be SO, the general of
the Augustinians viii soon leave for
the United States to choose American
Augustinians TO replace the Spanish
members Of that order now in Manila

ADMITS BIG SHORTAGE
Prominent Boston Lawyer Guilty
of Embezzlement-W a
Prominent Elk.

Boston, Aug. by his own admis-
sion, Willard c. Vanderlip, premi-
nent Boston lawyer, who has had for
years the care of several estates, is
guilty of embezziement, and the es-
tate of the late George B. Emerson, of
which he had charge for sixteen years,
has been dissipated in ways of which
Mr.. Vanderlip Is unable to give ac-
count. Mr. Vanderlip says that the
amount involved is somewhere
around 500 O0e."
Colonel W. D. Sohier and John
Lowell, who are acting on behalf of
the estate, however, declare that
100000 has disappeared
Nanderlip was arrested at his home
this afternoon. He was arraigned on
the charge of larceny of bonds valued
at $4,o00,0o0 from John Lowell, a rela-
tive of Mr.. Emerson, pleaded not gull
ty, and was held in $4,000 bonds.
The accused man for thirty years
has acted as confidential agent OF
numerous law firms in the city in the
care Of estates, the collection of divi-
dends, the purchase and sale of Sc
curities and the disposal of real estate
He also is a prominent member of the
order of Elks and is Mason OF high
degree.
Colonel Sohier says:
For sixteen years Vdnderlip has
had. as trustee, management of the
Emerson estate. He rendered his ac-
counts quarterly~and submitted state
nents. the accuracy of which there
was no reason to question.
"A few days ago. bonds 10 the value
of $1,000 were missed. This led to an
investigation, and after a severe cross
examination. Vanderlip admitted that
he had taken the bonds and that he
had squandered the entire Emerson
estate"

MAY Y0HE HYSTERICAL
Spends Time Reading Love Let
tiers From Strong Registered
as Lady Hope.

London, Aug. May Yohe drove to
the Savoy hotel early this morning and
registered as Lady Francis Hope
Miss Yohe spent the day at The
hotel dejectedly reading and rereading
a batch of letters which she had just
received from Putnam Bradlee Strong,
and in which. while urging forgiveness
and beseeching news of Miss Yohes
future movements, he carefully dis
guised his own whereabouts.
On-the inside flap of one envelope
Strong wrote: Send word by bearer
if you forgive me-" on reading which
Miss Yohe exclaimed: There have
been all sorts of friends here today Of
fering me all sorts of inducements to
leave here, but 1 care only for Brad
lee. Where is he? Why don't they
bring him to- me? Why does he write
me if he does not love me? l would
forgive him in a minute if he would
only say that he is sorry"
Miss Yohe grew hysterical. Strong's
letters declared that he was within a
days ride of Paris, which was OBJ
scure enough 70 leave Miss Yohe in
land or at Genoa
Miss Yohe had all her trunks packed
in readiness to go to Paris. but an
intimation she received that Strong
was not there finally decided her to
remain in London.
Referring to this decision she said:
Il don't see how / can spend an
other night in this miserable place,
but I suppose I must
Before leaving London Strong told
his friends ne intended to go to the
United States and never see Miss
Yohe again.
1t is now evident that he has changed
his plans. and that a reconciliatory
meeting between him and Miss Yohe
is only a matter of a few days. Such
a meeting would probably have Oc-
CURED already If Strong were not
doubtful as to Miss Yohe's attitude in
the matter of criminal proceedings
against him.
