BILL NYE'S GRAVE.

In rural churchyard 13 miles
from Asheville lies the grave of
Edward Wilson Nye. In the
seven years that have passed
since his death, the mound of
earth has almost disappeared.
Winters blasts and summers
rain have destroyed the earthen
coveflet of the humorist. No
flowers grow in summer time.
The briers run riot over the spot
and weeds grow luxuriantly.
Why thus neglected "Bill"
Nye made a great deal of money
in the closing years of life, but he
was openhanded. He could not
resist an appeal for help. He
gave away almost as fast as he
received. The only money he left
his estate was insurance. The
money was deposited in an Ashe-
vile bank which almost complete
ly failed. Mrs. Nye was COM
PEELED to keep boarders to main
tain the family. The struggle
grew too hard for her and she re-
turned to her western home. Be
fore she left she had placed in
Calvary church, in the cemetery
of which Mr.. Nye's body rests,
memorial window.
Bill Nye was a strange nature.
He was more than a humorist.
He was both as poet and phil
osopher. And beneath the sur.
face was the tenderness of a wo-
man. Those who knew him best
knew The rare sweetness of his
soul.
slaughter is next door to
tears" and Nye's life was full of
sorrow. He had moods of de-
preston the world never knew.
His health was always poor.
Like the poor clown who, hiding
an aching heart grimaces for his
audience, Bill Nye wrote many
of his funniest things when clouds
hung low over his head. He
wrote humor for bread, 5ut the
deed undercurrent of his life was
unknown or undreamed of by the
public.
Now there is a movement to
erect a suitable monument over
his grave. Ji each one whom he
has made to laugh and thus Tor
get his misery, if each one whom
he has cheered on life's pathway
by his whimsical mirth-if each
one of these should give their
mite, the monument of Edgar
Wilson Nye would rise lar toward
the skies.

whose clothing was torn com.
pletely from their bodies above
the waist, whose bosoms had
been trampled into pulp and
whose faces were marred beyond
all power of Identification. In
some places they were piled up
in the aisles three and four feet
deep, where one had fallen the
others tripping over the pros
trate forms, and all had died
where they lay, evidently suffo-
Gated by the gas. Others were
bent over backs Of seats where
they had been thrown by the
rush of people for the doors and
killed with hardly a chance to
rise from their seats. One man
was found with his back bent
nearly double, his spinal col
umn having been fractured as
he was thrown backward. A
woman was found cut nearly in
half by the back of the seat, she
having been forced over it face
downward. In one aisle the
body of man was found with
not a vestige of clothing, flesh
or bone remaining above the
waist. The entire upper por
ton of his body had been cut
into mincemeat and carried
away by those who trampled
over him, and even his head
could not be found, and all that
will tell his friends who he was
is the color and appearance of
clothing on the lower limbs and
they are in such condition as
to be hardly recognized.

Tried to Kill the Conductor.
Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Yorkville, Jan. "A dastardly
attempt to murder Capt. II. S.
Ross, the popular and greatly es.
teemed conductor of train No. 8
(passenger) due at Yorkville at
1928 p. M, was made last
evening. This train was pretty
well filled up with big crowd
of negroes leaving Gastonla.
Capt. Ross, the oldest conductor
in the service, and well known
and liked by every one, was in
charge of this train.
a negro named George Lee
Warren refused to pay his fare to
Bowling Green, ii miles north of
here, claiming that he had paid
it to the flagman. This being
denied by the flagman, Conductor
Ross insisted upon his paying his
fare, which he did after some
trouble. This man. with 25 or
30 negroes, got off at Bowl ng
Green, and just as the train start
ed three or four of them opened
fire at Capt. Ross, who was stand
ing on the platform of the coach.
Fortunately only one shot took
effect, striking HIM on the cheek
near the corner of the right eye,
intlicting a painful but not dan
gerOus wound. A number of the
shots took effect in the sides Of
the car, and it is remarkable that
Capt. Ross was not killed or more
seriously wounded. AS soon as
the train reached Glover. 10 miles
north of here, Capt, w. B. Smith
agent of the railway company,
had a warrant sworn out and
placed in the hands of Chief of
Police Truman Turner, who with
Constables A. j. Quinn, Samuel
Mccall and VIM. Hance, went al
once in search of the negroes.
They were found about s miles
from Glover, near Riddles mill in
bed. Geo. Warren was arrested,
brought to Glover and placed in
the "lockup." Today Train
master Davidson, Roadmaster
Fletcher, Capt. Ross and other
officials of the road. with w. b
McCaw, Esq, local attorney for
the road, went up to Glover to be
present at preliminary hearing,
but George Warren confessed to
having fired two of the shots and
waived the hearing.
Frank Warren, a brother of
George: thinking there was no
charges against him, came to
Glover today and was arrested as
an accessory. Both of these men
were brought to Yorkville this
afternoon and lodged in Jail to
await trial at the April term OF.

Big Butter Display.

The butter display in the dairy
building at the Minnesota State Fair
will be the center of unusual interest
at the fair Of this year, as the man.
agement has decided to remove the
limitations which have heretofore
restricted competition to exhibitors
from the state of Minnesota, only.
This year butter will be received in
competition from any state and the
result will be that some of the best
butter makers in Wisconsin, Iowa,
North and South Dakota, Nebraska
and other states will send their pro-
duct to the Minnesota fair in an en-
deavor to beat the Minnesota cream
cry men. The result will be the
greatest butter contest ever held in
this country.
The dairy department is in charge
of A. w. Trow, one of the best known
butter men in the country, and the
premiums and conditions surrounding
butter exhibits and competition, have
been revised so that butter makers
will have even wider opportunities
than before.
The Minnesota state fair opens this
year on Monday, August 20, continu-
ing for one week. Half fare rates
have been made by all the roads, tax
ing effect August 81, but exhibitors
who wish to go earlier can secure a
fare and one-third within one week of
the fair opening. The fair is held on
the Minnesota State Fair grounds,
midway between Minneapolis and st.

ASPECTS OF SOCIALISM.


1t presents itself (Socialism) under
various aspects. and with apparently
different objects. but all tending re-
motely or Immediately to one end viz,
the change or the overthrow of all eN-
listing governments. They may be
classified as follows:
l. Social Democracy or Collectivism.
which demands the appropriation and
administration by the state of all CAPT
tai and Instruments of labor. This is
claimed by it's adherents as the only
genuine form Of Socialism.
=. Positive Communism, which en-
larges on Collectivism and aims at the
transfer of all goods to one admnistra-
ton. permitting the use of some
things, however, as private property.
3. Moderate Positive Communism.
which. like Collectivism, advocates on
ly the withdrawal of capital and in
struments of labor from private hands
to be administered, however, not Ey
the state. but by labor organizations.
T. Negative Communism, which calls
fer the abolition of all private prop
erty.
;. Scientific Anarchy. which does
not desire violent measures, at least
for the present. 1t is supposedly aca-
lemic rs vet and teaches that the man.
:lgement of capital and labor should
be put not in the hands of the state
or of the labor unions. but in the con-
troll of communes. which are to be in.
dependent of any central government,
as We're the ancient Greek republics.
6. Anarchy proper. which calls for
the immediate use of fire and sword.
Z. Aararian Socialism, which de.
mands the confiscation of land.
8. Socialism of the Chair, which ad
vocates merely an increase of govern
ment paternalism.
The propagation of these various
theories began with Saint Simon

idea in the world that labor is the

Smith, in the preceding century, had

Of wealth. but not the only one. Four

zatlon of labor. Each proprietor was
to contribute all his wealth to COM

which he felt an attraction; but the

was not suggested. Louis Blanc (1S11-
