Met Here To-Day.

A meeting Of the Republican Con-
gressional Executive Committee for
the Third Congressional District,
met in this city Thursday.
The meeting was called to order
by Chairman G. B. Hill, who stated
that the object of the meeting was to
nominate a candidate for a member
of the 59th Congress.
On motion, H. F. Brown was
elected secretary.
On roll call all the counties were
represented except Fender.
Nominations were declared in Or
der and the am of Hon. w. s..
OBJ. Robinson was placed before the
meeting and he was duly nominated,
and on motion of Mr.. Rabbit, of
Palmico, his nomination was made
unanimous.
Judge Robinson accepted the nom
ination in his usual humorous style.
Brought Here For Safe Keeping.
Deputy Sheriff D. F. Wooten, Of
Kinston, brought to this city this
morning William Exum, white, and
Willie Smith, colored.
Smith and Exum were both con-
victed at the last term Of Lenoir
court. Smith got ten years for lar
ceny and was taken on to the peni-
tertiary at Raleigh this afternoon.
Exum was sentenced to be hung on
the 3Oth of November for the murder
of his step son, Guy Walston, at
Lenoir Institute, about three weeks
ago, and was brought here for safe
keeping,
At the time of the killing Exum
attempted to escape and would
probably have have done so, but for
the fact that in his attempt to get
away he stuck a nail in his foot
which stopped him and he was cap
tured. After sticking the nail in his
foot he crawled about a mile.
He looks to be a man of about %
years of age, and is fairly good look
ing.

KEEPS BOOKS FOR FOUR
COaCERNs AT AGE OF 81

James Z. Hyde, city treasurer, city
controller, deputy city collector of
Lincoln, H., and expert bookkeeper
for three business houses in the same
city is claimed to be the oldest muni-
cipal officer, the Oldest bOokkeeper.
and the busiest nonagenarian in the
United States. He is in his 91st year,
but the weight of his four-score years
and ten rest so lightly upon his shout
ders that every day he is at work
dividing his time between the books of
the private corporations he represents
and those of the city.
The working days of this remark
able man are divided as follows: From
10 10 o'clock each morning he gives
his attention to the experimenting of
the books at Denger's wholesale gro
Gerry, where he has been employed for
the last 90 years. At 10 o'clock he
goes to the Office of the Courier COM
pany. where he looks over newspa-
pers and printing accounts until noon.
In the afternoon he is at the city hail.
attending TO the complex duties of
city treasurer, city controller of fin
ance. and city collector of special as
ne II OIil COA-
lector. but does all the work of the
office. the regular collector never do
ing anything but file bond and draw
his salary in Lincoln. From p. III. to
Mr.. Hyde's time is given to the books
of the local street railway company.
Despite his age and his varied duties.
Mr.. Hyde has not missed a days work
for years. save when he has taken his
annual vacation of two weeks each
summer.
In all his work Mr.. Hyde is remark
ably accurate and younger bOokkeep-
ars and city officials who have come
in contact with him. or have had oc-
casion to examine his books, have
failed to discover errors. He has
system that he invented himself and
while it is not so simple as that taught
by the present age of business coll
!eges. it has the merit OF being reli-
able and accurate.
Two unusual features of this aged
mans work are that he does not wear
any kind of glasses, having no defects
in his seeing or hearing and that he is
an inveterate smoker, seldom using
less than five cigars every day. While
at work on his multitude of books he
is rarely without Il cigar or stOgie in
his mouth.

ARE ROCK ISLAND WOMEN VAIN?
ELEVATOR BOY DECIDES THEY ARE

Are Rock Island women vain? This
is question that is often asked and
is answered by both negative and af-
frmatiye replies. The young men in
charge of the elevators in the Office
buildings and stores are unanimous
in declaring that all women are vain.
These youngsters base their con-
illusions upon personal observations.
for il must be remembered that all
the elevators as rule are adorned
with mirrors and the boys are accus-
toned To carrying hundreds of ladies'
up and down the several flights of
floors every day in the iron cage. 1t
must he conceded. therefore. that they
are in position to observe and the
only question that now arises Is as
TO whether or not they are capable
of observing and arriving at their
conclusions correctly. One of the OPP
orators in one of the elevators of this
city states that if the women did not
stop so frequently to admire them
selves before the mirrors. he could
make more trips a day and thus give
better satisfaction to his patrons.
the women were accustomed to adj
iusting their hair, arranging their
headgear and even powdering their
compilations in his elevator as they
went either up or down. Not only
this but arranging at the floor where
they wanted to leave the elevator. they
would detain it until they had finished
their toilet and would then leave il
with the air of independence as if the
mirrors were placed in position for
their special benefit and the elevators
were no more than toilet rooms.
While the above may be the elevator
boys view of the situation. the ladies
themselves no doubt have a mind of
their own upon the subject. 1t must
be admitted that mirrors we're invent
ed for feminine use and that natur-
ally. therefore, they belong TO the wo-
men, nc matter where they are locat-
ed and whenever they are found they
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1904-05-19

have an undisputed right to use them.
As long as the owners OF office build
ings ornament their elevators with
mirrors. just so long will the women
continue to use them for the purpose
for which they were made and il re-
mains for no man to attempt to lay
down law as to how long a woman
may admire herself before one.
1t therefore cannot he justly said
that Rock Island women are vain and
as far as known they have not yet
adopted the ankle bracelet craze and
until they do the elevator boys have
another guess coming as to what con-
stitutes vanity in women.

cules Roosevelt Trust
Argument.

THE Triumph of Socialism wa:
discussed at the Young Mems Chris
tan association auditorium last even
ing by John W. Brown. of Connecti
cut, who is working back towards New
England after a tour of the Pacific
coast. He was brought here by the
local branch of the socialist party, OF
whom there was an audience of good
size at the hall TO listen to him.
Mr.. Brown is perhaps the most in
teresting speaker in his line that has
appeared in Rock Island in recent
years. He arraigned both the repub-
Iican and democratic parties for fail
ure to afford relief to the masses. lie
said the politician had been preaching
bunk for half century. He could not
be believed any longer. He seldom
meant what he said. The people were
growing wise. and the result was a
wonderful growth in the socialist
movement in the United States in the
past few years.
Work Themselves Out of Jobs
Mr.. Brown said the people should
not, in the heat of the approaching
presidential campaign, lose sight Of
the fact that, in these piping times of
prosperity, there were laid off during
the past six months 100000 workmen.
The textile mills of New England
were running only half time.
"Why this condition of affairs? ," he
asked. as il because there is not cap
ital sufficient to operate these works
at which these hundreds Of thousands
of men and women are employed? No,
indeed. 1t is simply because there is
more stock ON hand than Il market
can be found for. In other words,
these persons who are idle have work
ed themselves out of their jobs
Mr.. Brown said the laboring people
of the country received only one-fifth
of what they produced. The capitalist
got the remainder. This state of af-
fairs could not continue. The repub-
liCan administration was reaching ont
for new lands TO conquer, ostensibly
in the name of christianity and benev-
Olence, but for the real purpose of af-
fording an outlet for the products of
the mills and factories of this cOun-
try. Presently there would be no
more countries to take under our
wing, and consequently there would
ucts, and then there would be an ex-
plosion. Mr.. Brown said its coming
was inevitable unless the economic
system at present in vogue in the
United States was changed.
Ro"s-yeIrs Trust Remedy.
He criticised the trust argument
of the republican party. Roosevelt
advised turning on the limelight and
filming the trusts. He said that while
Roosevelt was making speeches
through New England advocating such
a remedy the eastern wing of the
Chicago beef trust was fined $4,000
for a violation of the interstate com
merce laws. the next day there was
an advance i'm the price of beef. The
consumer. not the trust. paid the fine.
Rockefeller would not object to a fine
either. said Mr. Brown. He would pay
as readily as the beef trust. But
when he did the speaker advised his
hearers to be prepared for a raise in
the price of oil.
