TEARS UNAvAILING
Talented Young Woman Could
Not Endure His Treatment
And Now Seeks Divorce
He Threatened to
Kill Her.

Marcus L. Mullen was here yester-
day with an extraordinarily high col
lar, heart so overladen with love
that sickly sentimental tears Of affec-
tion gushed from his eyes, as he
begged his handsome wife, whom he Is
said to have mistreated, to return to
him. To demonstrate his love Mullen
showed a revolver which Marshal
Darrough took away from him.
About year-and-a-half ago Mullen,
who was working with government
surveying party near Fairland, wooed
and won the pretty Editha Ritter,
whose family is one Of the most highly
respected and worthy in the territory.
Miss Editha had been highly educated
at the Sistine convent at Louisville,
and has all the accomplishments OF
the refined lady.
Fifteen months ago she made what
SHE now realizes was sad mistake.
She listened to the soft words Of the
not unattFaetive Mullen and succHmb-
ed to his Establishments. The young
couple were married shortly after the
Urls eighteenth birthday. Mullen
box her to his mothers home at
oansas City where he visited her
.Sihen he could get a vacation from
shis work in the field Mrs. Mullen
could not endure the home he he'd
taken her to and, after two months
returned To her parents at Fairland |
There Mullen visited at short inter-
yas until year ago when he left.
He is now, 50 he states, employed as a
clerk in store at Quincy III. He
did not provide for his wife and she
determined to obtain a divorce and
for that reason came TO this city and
consulted with Attorney John B.
Turner. The year OF separation will
not have passed until Friday On
that day the papers will be fled
Yesterday morning Mrs. Mullens,
Attorney Turner and the marshal's
ONCE were notified by telephone and
telegraph to be on their guard against
Mullen as he had reached Fairland
and had left for Vinita upon learning
OF his wife's whereabouts. The mes
sages stated that he threatened to
XIII his young wife.
When Mullen reached here he
begged for an audience and this was
granted by Mrs. Mullen who, however,
took the precaution to have her attor-
ney and Deputy Lon Connors present.
Mullen begged her to return 70 him
but she was firm in her refusal. He
wept and entreated, all in vain.
Finally he commenced to buster and
threaten, saying that he would kill
her and then kill himself. When he
had went that far che interview was
,nded and, at the marshals oflice, he
was made to surrender his revolver.
He stated later that he was going !
back to Quincy last night, and asked
that Mr.. Turner check a trunk for
him to that place. Ii was learned
this morning, however, that Mullen

Creek Mrs. Mullen win be protected /.

TO do this has cost money. During
the hrst three years of Gov. RusselPs S
administration there was paid out of
the State Treasury for public schools
$ZS'2l4.S3. During the first three
years of my administration there has
been paid out of the State Treasury
Tor public schools $4S7, ,224.30. Beside
this vast sum paid directly to the
schools we have loaned to the counties
for building school houses, the sum
OF $95, ,926.00. In addition to this
the University of North Carolina, the
Keystone of the arch of our public
School system, has largely increased
her usefulness and reached a greater
number of young men. The attend
ance there during the past four years
mas been 2,315 as compared with an
attendance of 1913 for the preceding
four years. This administration has
expended in support of the University
for buildings, equipments and main
teEance. $120,000.00. The preceding
administration for like period spent
$S1,250.0O.
The Normal and Industrial Col
lege for the past four years has taught
l,SS4 young women as against 1,74S
for the preceding four years. Much
equipment at large expense had been
added to the college, and it was about
to enter upon an era of unexampled
growth. when a fire this year de-
stroyed he largest dormitory build

expended for Improvements and main

this administration, 1927, 100000. The
preceding administration for like pc
riod spend only $S0.OO0.O0.
The College of Agriculture and Me-

years there were only l'oo2. 1T IS now

At few minutes after four o'clock
at the afternoon session Governor
Aycock, who at the morning session
had been invited to a seat on the
floor and TO address the convention,
on motion OF A. Ii. .EIler. of Winston,
entered and was greeted with great
applause. He was soon introduced
and the vast body of men who had
not yet listened to any speaker was
captured at once by the eloquent gov
ernor. His tones swept out and
the storm of noise subsided. the
people listened and as he made many
strong points in his address the crowd
simply went wild. 1t was a tribute
To Aycock's eloquence. to his power to
lead and eloquent of the esteem
and love in which he is held by the
people of the State. There were
those who heard that the governor
could not make himself heard, as he
began. But he showed no concern,
his voice was calm and low. yet the
people heard. 1T grew in volume and
in intensity and as one man the great
host OF Democracy listened to these
words:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen or
the Conventions: Something more
than four years ago--to be perfectly
accurate, on the 11th of April, 1901.
I accepted Ut the hands of the Demo-
cratic party the nomination for Gov
ernor of the State. On that occasion
/ made q speech to the united AMI
demonstrative Democracy. Today

tion to witness the selection of him
who shall be my successor / do not
think il inappropriate upon this oc-
casion to review the work which has
been done in this State since that day
in April when you nominated me and
my associates for office.
The memory cf that day abides
with me still I recall distinctly the
fine crowd-thc sturdy and determin-
ed and deeply enthusiastic. though
calm crowd of men whom l faced that
day. They had met for a high pur-
pose. They had grown weary through
The years of the struggle for good
government. They were sick at heart
with the m&keShiftS TO which we had
been compelled to resort in order To
free the State from the danger of be-
ing controlled by an ignorant mass,

resolute in their determination once
for all To put an end To these condi-
tions and begin a new day.

In answer to all our charges and
criticisms, the Republican party has
one unfailing answer. They point to
what they allege is the prosperity of
the country, and attribute it solely to
their protective tariff. l am no pes
simist and shall candidly admit that
the country and we of the South have
recently enjoyed a comparative de-
gree of prosperity, but the alleged
cause is wholely fallacious. We have
prospered because there has been
added to our metallic and basic
money during the last eight years
about $700.000,00O in gold, thereby
increasing our per capita from about
$23 to $50. This was in no wise due
to the action of the Republican party
but to Providence through the instru-
mentalities of discovery and enter
prise. Thus was made possible the
advent and continuance of the indus
trial activity which has marked our
economic progress during the past
few wears and thus has been Vindi-
Gated the past contentious of the
Democratic party for a larger volume
of metallic money.
More of Why We Prosper.
Again we have prospered because OF
the enormous growth of our domestic
exports as compared with our i'm
ports, so that for the fiscal year end
ing June go 1903, our exports were
valued at $1,392, 231, ,637, all of which
or the balance in our favor, was paid
for in gold. How much of the above
great sum consisted of manufactures?
Only 100000, coo, leaving more than
one billion dollars as represented by
raw products from the field, the for
est and the mine, the great bulk being
agricultural products. These products
of the soil which are exported are OIL
the free list and in no event could
they be benefited by protection, be-
cause our supply is greater than the
domestic consumption and the prices
are fixed in the open markets of the
world. In that list of farm exports
our cotton was valued at $317 ,065,-
271. While the official figures for the
fiscal year just ending are not yet
obtainable, yet it is certain that the
exports of our staple product the past
season Will amount to more than four.

The doctrine set out in our Consti-

ferson, was held in this State at her
darkest hour, in the midst of war
when every man was needed at the
front and every dollar that could be
raised was necessary for the equip
ment of our army.
1t was the immortal Vance who de-
clared in a message TO the Legislature
THAT the common schools should
surely be kept going at every cost
and if sufficient inducements cannot
be offered to disabled soldiers and
educated women to take hold of them,
the necessary males 81 ould be exempt
ed from military sert ce.'

public school system and the most ell
oquent advocate of them, in the very
midst of that great clash of arms
when darkness began to lower over

and beneticent system of free and pub
lie schools which were attended by
fifty thousand of The children of her
patriotic citizens" From that day to
this. the patriotic citizens of this State
have been struggling to reach the full
hllment of that pledge of our Consti-
tuition which requires the Legislature
to provide for at least four months
of public schools in every district in
the State. Too Ions deferred, to the
grievous injury of the State, her peace.
her prosperity and happiness we have
under this administration successfully
met this requirement.

THE patriotic Legislatures chosen
by the people, have made provisions
for it and the executive officers, un-
der the lead of our admirable Super
intendent of Public instruction, have
carried the provisions of the law into
effect. Today we can boast for the
first time in the history of the State
that we have redeemed our pledge,
