some articles he neglected to sell and
picked up an iron kettle, when Mrs.
Clapper fired a revolver at him. The
bullet did not strike Brumbaugh, but
came uncomfortably close. He went
before justice and had warrant
sworn out charging the woman with
shooting with intent to kill. Saturday
an officer went to arrest the woman,
the intention being TO take her to the

was found TO be in a state of nervous

pitiable that it was decided not to make
the arrest.

The ISSUE OF TODAY
Concrete Views of Conserya.
tive Negro Leaders in
Washington.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept. 26.-The views of
conservative negro leaders in this city on
the race question have been formulated
at a conference between Rev. DR.. Dean
R. Rabbit. of the Church of the
Epiphany, Brooklyn, New York, and the
following prominent colored citizens:
Rev. Francis j. Grimke, pastor of the
Fifteenth Street Baptist Church; Prof.
Kelly Miller. of Howard University:
Judson w. Lyons, register of the United
States Treasury; Cyrus Field Adams, as
sistant register of the Treasury; John c.
Dancy, recorder of deeds of the District
of Columbia; DR.. o. M. Atwood, Thomas
r. Clarke and Whitfield Mckinley. Dr..
Babbitt has devoted much time to the
study of this question and was chosen
at the recent Chautauqua meeting to re-
ply to the argument of John Temple
Graves. The composite views expressed
in signed opinions of these eight colored
leaders and submitted to DR.. Babbitt, fol-
lows:
The spreading race prejudice is occa-
stoned by appeal to race passion by poll
ticians. The cure for the prejudice is the
application of Christian morals and re-
ligion and just execution of the laws. The
Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments TO
the Constitution should be held intact.
1t is not the desire, wish or purpose Of
the negroes as a race to seek, MAINTAIN,
emphasize or teach social equality with
the whites, as a consequence OF equal pc
htical rights, and they urge strongly that
the negroes education should not be
limited to industrial training. They be-
leve that the number of crimes charged
to the race have been greatly exaggerated
by their enemies: that the real facts
should be collected and published, and
that the clergy of the race should teacn
stronglys against these crimes and against
intemperance. They urge a thorough oc-
ganization of their race under capable and
respected leaders and an appeal to the
press and to the moral and religious sent
iment of the country and especially to the
white clergy. They oppose the idea of a
separate political party.

COLLEGE MEN

A lady of Tabor, La, who has six strap

Mr.. Peter Hairston, of Davle county,
is one of the largest farmers in his section
Of the State Mr.. Hairston lives at what
is known as the Cooleemee farm in Dave
county, about FIVE miles rom the Coolee-
NEE Cotton Mills and four miles from
Yadkin College. Mr. Hairston manages
the largest estate left by his father, the
late Peter Harston. The Cooleemee farm
is on both sides of the Yadkin river. It
is estimated that Mr.. Halrston will raise
10000 or more bushels of corn this year
Standing or riding on the hillsides on
either side of the Yadkin on and near
these farms as the autumn draws near
the eyes are turned to the following fields
that stretch away as far as the eye can
see like a great inland sea.
A few years ago there were 140 tenants
and their families on the Hairston
estates in Davie, Yadkin and Stokes coun.
ties We do not know the number OF
tenants now. There are probably quite
as many.

worth according to its legitimate value.
If all the producers in each of the $50
cotton producing counties in the South
would get together as did the farmers of
Troup county this State, on August %,
and pass strong resolutions not to sacri-
flee their cotton this year by early mar
keting at reduced prices and then stand
by those resolutions Southern cotton pro-
ducers would once again begin to get on
their feet, and new era of prosperity
begin to dawn all over the South in every
line of business.
CALL FOR COOPERATION.
AS the official head of our Interstate
Association, l call upon and urge upon
every producer all over the South to take
firm stand for the maintenance of high
prices this season. When the market be-
gins to sag check receipts at once. Sell
the crop slowly, and furnish the mills with
such supplies as are needed for spinning
purposes and do not by usual methods
give to them and the spectators of the
country the whip handle of the situation
We hold upon our farms today the key
note to the situation The staple is yet
in our possession, it is wanted by millions
of spindles in all parts of the world, and
is demanded by yet greater millions for
clothing among the inhabitants of every
civilized nation on the globe Consump-
ton of cotton has outstripped production,
and a knowledge of this fact should main
tain prices at a high level until conditions
change, which are not likely to come to
pass for many years, if ever again. The
South possesses a monopoly of this great
staple, and while millions have been made
out of it by others after it left the hands
of the producers, the latter may now get
their reward by handling this seasons
crop in accordance with the conditions
surrounding it. Let, there be called meet
ings of farmers In every county, let there
be prompt and decisive action taken. let a
minimum price of not less than 10 cents
per pound be fixed in every local market,
and then be steadfast with one another
and get rid of the yoke which has for
half century bowed Southern cotton pro-
ducers under the domination of gamblers,
spectators and foreign spinners.

Smoking Cures Cdtarrh.
A Combination of Herbs Smoked in a
Pipe Cures Catarrh of Head,
Nose and Throat.
SAMPLES MAILED FREE.
Contains no Tobacco and is Pleasant
and Easy to Use.

The fact that the smoking of tobacco
is injurious to the health is no argument
against the use of DR.. Blosser's Catarrh
Cure in a pipe, or in the form of cigar
cites, as this remedy contains no tobacco
or any injurious drug The effect of a
remedy applied directly to the diseased
part is much better than the uncertain ac-
ton of medicines taken into the stomach.
This is the philosophy, profound as 1t is
simple, of the treatment of catarrh with
Dr. Blosser's Catarrh Cure.
1t is the only known remedy that can
penetrate the recesses of the head, throat
and lungs. No liquid remedy can do this.
No spray that ever was devised-surely
no constitutional nostrum taken into
the stomach-can reach the infiamed sur
faces and cleanse, soothe and heal them
as this indicated smokevapor does.
In order to demonstrate its merits, a
three days trial treatment will be sent,
absolutely free, to any sufferer. Address,

much she should have The plaintiff, c.
w. Bunker is endeavoring by his suit,
to get into possession of the land. It
has been in the courts for several years.

NELL ordered that the case be remanded
back to Surry court for final hearing.
Mrs Bunker is represented by w. F.

THE GERMAN REICHSTAG.
dissolution Adopted Directed Against
Oil Company.

Berlin, January 14-The Reichstag
today adopted 143 to 20 votes the tariff
committees resolution asking the gov
eminent to consider whether it is not in
the interest Of the nation to place diff
%ferential duties on refined petroleum
as against crude, in order to establish
a national refining industry.
The resolution is directed against the
Standard Oil Company.
Herr Wurm, socialist, said the reso-
luton was designed to increase the
price of petroleum for the benefit Of
the bankrupt fuel and alcohol indus
try" If a national refining industry
was established by state protection it
would be dependent on foreign raw ma
terial.
Baron Iieyt Zuherrnshee said:
The Standard Oil Company sells oil
cheaply only long enough to ruin COM
petition and then sharply advances
prices. Il signifies nothing that a do
mestic industry is dependent on for
eign raw material. Our textile manu-
facturers are in precisely the same
plight"
