HYDE TELLS COMMITTEE
ABOUT The EQUITABLE

islation The Equitable Life, he
said, was not interested beyond the
connection it had with the Mercantile
Trust company,
Hyde was under the impression that
the Mercantile, in the settlement, re-
tanned the bonds and paid Odell about
$4,000 Odol's Original claim was
about $4,000 The bonds Subse
quently netted about so cents ON tlte
dollar Hyde said that Hartman
suggested settlement of the SUIT and
that the counsel and members of the
executive committee of the Mercan
tile Trust advised it, and he recon-
mended it,

ed aspirations Of Hyde To become am
bassador TO France. He said Frick
inspired the idea and the witness took
it as a joke At first but when Prick
brought ii up later Hyde was battered
and both Hartman and Prick prom
ised to use their influence to secure
the appointment Again Hyde waXed
bitter in his explanation of the extra

III his absence from the country. He
said he thought their idea was chat
they would acQuit themselves of their
friendly stewardship with great profit
to themselves" and added that the
nature of their interest had since be.
come very obvious.
Says Frick Broke Faith
Hyde charged Frick with breach OF
4 faith in leading him to believe that
! the FriCk committee was friendly
to him and with doing all he could do
TO dissuadc the witness from selling
4 his stock, lat the same time" as Hyde
said, doing everything on that com
mlttee he could do to knife me and
destroy the va lie of that stock.
Hyde explained that he used
friendly" in the just sense of the
word and that if there was anything
! for which he could be criticised he
was willing to take whatever criticism
came. Hyde said ne did not think
/ the report was at all fair and that the

the adoption of the Frick report at a

he absolutely declined, as II was con

he was advised by counsel that such a
step would throw the Equitable Lift.

He testified that he was 90 years old
and became second vice president OF
the Equitable a month after graduatine
from Harvard He had always been
brought up to believe that his life

Death of a Little Girl

On Friday morning last, about 0
o'clock, the death angel which had
been lowering over the home OF Mr.
and Mrs Robert F. Gillett for
more than week, entered and car
ried away one of the little INN ates,
MaIy Priest, aged about four years.
Although i'll a seml-consclous
state for many days, she gave EVIL
dence Of great suffering, and at
times recognized the loved ones
who ministered to her so tender
ly and faithfully.
Mary was a bright, sweet little
girl. having reached the age when
the childish prattle and patterlng
footsteps are the sweetest music
and greatest iov Of this home.
At eleven o'clock the little cas-
ket was borne to the Presbyterian
church by four young ladies, and
a most appropriate service was con-
Quoted by DR. Il Ii Fleming, the
pastor, Rev W S Trimble being alb

to rest on the Monterey cemetery
TO await the final day.

Hay Days

Good weather for hay-making
has been so rare this season that
the days can be easily numbered.
AS a result, many farmers had
given up the vain effort or had not
attempted to begin the harvest at
all, and when Monday morning
dawned bright and clear, there was
grand rush for the meadows.
Our older people tell us that, in the
days Of the scythe and mandrake,
September 1st found much hay
making in progress, but not so
now. hence the rush to improve
this belated opportunity-a week
Of sunshine.
We have heard Of two thrifty
farmers-one of whose force OF
hands had gotten sick since last
hay-day, the other unable to pro-
cure help-each in his broad mead
ow alone, adapting his full line OF
modern implements, as best he
could, to one-man power. They
alternated between a seat on the
mower. the rake and the tedder and
a turn at the fork, The stack
building stage had not been reach
ed when our observer left, and just
how this was managed we have not
heard, and will have Ito be con-
timed in our next" We simply
point to the incidents as illustra-
ting the "preciousness" Of the sea-
son of sunshine.

New Toll Gate

The Supervisors, at their last
meeting, established a new toll
gate just aboye Monterey, at Mr..
Lee liners. The people seem di-
yided in opinion as to both the
necessity and justice Of this move.
The main reason for establishing
the gate, as we learn, is because OF
the tide of trade that has been
turned to this end Of the pike
since the completion of the Green
brier railroad that more money
will be needed as a result Of IN
creased travel NC.
The points against it are we'll
taken, and many are OF opinion
that 1t works great detriment to the
business men of Monterey while it
imposes upon the Crabbottom and
Hightown farmers, who have been
using the pike to reach Monterey
markets just as the eastern High
land people use 1t to trade at Nc
Dowell.
1t is also argued that the hard
ship will be especially felt by the
R f D. man, the Barlow mail con-
tractor, Mr. j A Jones and others
who use the road much and are de-
barred fron special rates by a
sweeping and positive order of the
Board made not long along.
These are views, pro and con,
heard from the people as they come
and go.

Thanks

TO the friends from whom we
received so many tokens OF interest,
kindness and sympathy during the
illness and death Of our child, that
we desire to humbly express our
warmest thanks and earnest graft
tude for the many kindness recelv-
ed, and sympathy shown us in our
sorrow and loss. AS messengers
of mercy, physician and watchers
alike tenderly bestowed every care
possible for us and our loved one.
We pray that in need we may re,
spond to the kindness received, and
treasure up the tried friendship
and devotion Of neighbors and
friends. Idena Florence Gillett,

ParaIyZed

The friends of Mr. W E Wilson
of Doe Hill, were sorry to learn, on
Monday morning last, that he had
suffered a second and more serious
stroke of paralysis. Mr. Wilson
was engaged in building house
for Mr. J B Wilson, on the Jack
Mountain road, had gone to his
work and was stricken while thus
engaged.
lie did not regain consciousness
until late in the evening. but has
since been moved to his home in
Doe Hill and his condition is as
favorable as could be expected.
Mr. Wilson was partially paralzed
more than a year ago, but had full
ly recovered, we are Informed.

The Reunion

Viewed in the light in which
such gatherings are. generally, the
Mcdowell reunion, OH Friday last,
may be regarded as a failure,
though we doubt if very many re-
greet having taken a day off and
spent it in such pass-times as the
occasion afforded. \ "Confederate
reunion" suggests the presence OF
band music, patriotic addresses,
lining up of old veterans ETC., and,
while it might have been better to
have advertised it as big, every.
body's picnic, on reunion ground"
the day of rest and social inter-
course may add a half. score years
to your life. and the dellnqaencies
of this one may give snap and sue
cess to the next effort.

The Primary

The result of Tuesdays primary
wouldindicate thatnot much interest
was taken, due,in great measure, to
the fact that it fell on albright day
when many of the farmers were
busily looking to their personal
interests in the hay-ields. Only
about 1-5 Of the polling strength
of the party is shown. In Crab
bottom, and possibly at Stuart's
Mill, the polls were not opened.
No official returns from the coun-
ty are in but the figures are
about as follows:
Martin "a, Montague 50, Swan
son Sc, Willard 30, Mann 20, An
derson 46, Williams IL. The total
vote will not exceed 1870.
Martins majority in the State
is estimated $4,000 and Swanson's
at 10000.
