SHOULD BE CARED FOR
Insane Woman. Sick With Cancer of
Breast, Kept in Station House
Through Refusal of Chair.
man County Commission
crS to Act

The city authorities are still much
concerned as to what to do in the case
of Maria Neal the violently insane
colored Woamn who, with her two little
girls, is in the station house, for want
of better place to keep her. The
accommodations there are necessarily
limited and there are no comforts
such as should be provided for one in
the condition of the Neal woman 1t
seems heartleSs also that the two very
small children should be shut away
from the light, but there is nothing
else to be done until the county au-
thorities take some action. 1t has been
suggested to the police justice THAI
he get the woman out of the guard
house by sentencing her to jail, but
he says that he cannot do this, as she
has Violated no ordinance and been
guilty of no crime. In addition to
being subject to violent Authorizations,
the woman suffers from a cancer of
the breast. which renders her condition
pitiable and her need of medical at
tentiOn great.
The police justice and the city at
torney have been endeavoring to per-
suade Chairman Adams of the Board
of County Commissioners, to send tie
woman back to Harnett county her
home. but he refuses to take any ac-
ton until the return of the county at
torney to the city. In the meantime
the woman and her children stay in
the basement station house of the
city. Chairman Adams it is said,
bases his refusal on the ground that
ne fears the Harnett authorities will
refuse to receive the woman and
Wake county will have to pay the
costs. The law however provides that
in such cacses the afflicted person
shall be sent to the county in which
he resides and that the commissioners
of such county shall receive all per-
sons so sent and pay the costs at
tendant upon their return on pain Of
personal penalties in case of refusal
to do so. AT any rate, the woman
cannot remain in the station house.
and if it could be shown that she does
not live in Harnett Wake county
would have to take care of her per-
manently. The case is not one that
can be turned adrift.
Ex-senator Fab Whitaker says he
knows the woman and that she lived
with her husband near Dunn in Har
nett county. She walked to Raleigh
with her two children, neither Of
whom lis over 5 years of age. When
they arrived in the city these little

Manhattan Suicide.

ton Mr.. Berry added. the injury done
her was great and she never recov-

PATHETIC STORY BY STUART.
High Point Discovers That Olser Was
Born in That HustIing Town.
lSnecial to News and Ohse

Especial to News and Observer
High Point, n c., Sept. 16.-Not-
withstanding the lights all over the
city, both street and in0andescent
failed to burn last night, thereby caus-
ing many people to think there would
be no services at the warehouse, the
usual large number were on hand to
hear Evangelist Stuart, who chose as
his text: But why dost thou judge
thy BROTHER" Illustrating his sermon,
Mr.. Stuart told the following story:
Travelling on a train one night "a
big fat man pulled back the curtain
of his berth and yelled at man who
was holding a fretting baby, telling
him to take that squalling kid away
from there; that he had paid for his
berth and wanted to sleep. The poor
man with the little baby went to rear
of the ear and said: Il have been
trying to quiet the little fellow and
viii try my best To not let
it disturb you from your slumbers; if
it had a mother | could take it to |
would be so glad to do SO, but please,
sir, its mother is in u coffin in the
baggage coach ahead" A moment
or SO later a big fat fellow was seen
to come from his berth dressed and
approaching the sorrowing man, ex-
tended his hand, begging forgiveness,
and at the same time telling the
father of the little one to take his
berth, that he must be SO tired from
attending his wife until death and
caring for the little one now, that he
would take care of the baby while he
slept. When the sun arose next morn
ing a man could be seen keeping vigil
over q tiny form nestled close to his
bosom-the big fat fellow who had
talked so harshly at first.
Mr. Stuart then paid his respects to
the liquor traffic saying that if he
was an officer of this city he would
resign tomorrow, that they had swore
to do their duty at all times and that
there We're blind tigers on every hand
known to them and they let them
alone. Shame on them. We need
public officials with grit and back
bone and blind tigers that send our
boys to hell and our mothers to pre-
mature graves would not exist for
moment.
Without a moments warming the
electric lights OF the city went out
last night about dust The stores were
all without light and other places of
business. At the warehouse the min
listers and others got to work and got
enough lamps in Il few moments and
the services began at the appointed
hour as if nothing had happened.
Mr.. Thos. j. Gould. of Shelby, has
associated himself with Major Sted-
man. of Greensboro. and located here

firm will be known as Stedman &
Gold.

it has developed that Prof. Olsen, the
noted wrestler, was born in High
Point, even if it was twenty-four years
ago and that the wrestler left us when
only three years old.
Mr.. John w. Wilborn, real estate
dealer of this place, is doing business
a long ways off. He has received a
letter from a party in South Africa

FORMAL CALL ISSUED
1t is Signed by Number Of Southern
Governors and Invites Representa-
tive Southern Men to Meet in
Chattanooga for Conference
in November.
in November.
(By the Associated Press. }

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept ia
formal call for a conference of South
ern representative men to be held
today. 1t is signed by twelve COVER
nors and the officials of the Cham
bers of Commerce of several cities.
The call after reciting the prosperity
and business growth of the South and
its prospects says:
I'm the attempt that has been made
by various cities, towns and communal
ties in the South to protect themselves
from the dread ravage of yellow fever,
the most strenuous and at times the
most unreasonable, unnecessary and
burdensome measures have been
adopted, measures that not only tend
ed to cripple and destroy business and
commerce, but which reflected on the
very instincts Of our common human
ity and became a reproach to civili-
zatiOn itself. 1t is evident therefore,
that some uniform system of quaran-
tine should be adopted that will allay
the apprehensions of the people and
minimize the dangers resulting from
an outbreak of this disease. This is
necessary if we would save our land
from the demoralizing and brutalizng
tendencies of a panic-inspired quaran-
tine.
again there are coming into the
United States at the present time a
larger number of foreign Immigrants
than ever known in our country's his
tory Among these are great masses
who are wholly undesirable and whom
it will be impossible to assimilate with
our institutions. There is apparently
a - ,f
these undesirable immigrants. to
Southern ports and also to distribute
them from Northern centers into the
South.
THE South will welcome desirable
immigrants from all lands and it has
already racial problems of such pray
ity that no others should be invited
until proper safeguards gre provided
in advance of their coming.
For the foregoing reasons there
fore the undersigned hereby issue this
call for a Southern conference on inn
migration and quarantine, to be held
in the city of Chattanooga, on No
vember 8 and 10. 1905. and we desig-
nate the following persons as expected
to compose and participate in the con-
ference:
Governors of the Southern States,
members of Congress, Commissioners
OF Agriculture, mayors of cities, enc
representative from each railroad
system. preferably the general immi-
grafton agent, the editors, publishers
or proprietors of newspapers and not
more than five representatives from
each commercial organization In the
South:
THE governors signing the call are:
John l. Cox of Tennessee; ID. G. .
Blanchard, Of Louisiana; Edwin War

son, of West Virginia.; A. J. Monta-

The election to determine whether
or not distilleries and saloons shall be

next Tuesday, the 10Th. Both sides are
claiming the victory, and the truth is,
it will be very close, and if it goes for
saloons it will be done with the illegal
negro vote respectable majority of
the white voters oppose them.

in fatal encounter here last night.
The town had been endeavoring to get
permission TO extend "a sewerage pipe
across the tracks of the railroad, but
was delayed until summary action be-
came necessary.
So late yesterday evening work was
begun and in short while war SEEM
ed imminent The local section hands
first interferred, then the bridge force
and superintendent Ramseur appear
ed in charge of a railroad army.
Mayor A. c. Avery, Jr., took COM
mand for Morganton. Dirt was
thrown back into the ditch as fast as
it was thrown out, and mud singing
became general.
A special train of railroad work
men was started here, but was
stopped at Hickory. If it had come
there would undoubtedly have been
bloodshed. as nearlv two hundred
armed men We're on the scene.
Personal encounters finally resulted.
and Mayor Avery had the railroad
hands put in Jail. The police prevent
ed further disorder, and the matter
was adjusted this morning by the re-
lease of the men arrested, and the
consent of the railroad to the sewer
age extension.
The trouble created intense excite
ment and has been the talk of the
town today, and Morganton rejoices
that the town won.
