) MORE RAILROADS FOR CHICKASAA "
BY N. c. HACKER.

wv E WANT all we can get,
Wv and want them under the
conditions that will bring the
greatest commercial prosperity to
the city. Chickasha needs no
stronger inducements to industries
of all kinds to locate here than
this: That the townsis without
saloons, that its citizens are law
abiding, God-fearing, sober and
earnest. Corporations may be
soulless, but they know what
makes an efficient employee. We
should have more railroads, more
factories, more industries of every
kind that will give honorable and
lucrative employment to men, and
| il will certainly pay our citi-
zens to contribute literally towari i
bringing these enterprises here.
But let us remember that clean
town is one of the best bonuses
we can offer, and also that we can
get railroads and factories and
grow great, but if we have the
saloon with them it will only neu-
tralize the good they would
bring us. We might cite thous-
ands of instances where great
industrial corporations tody are
placing themselves on the side of
prohibition and the highest order
of civic righteousness, not because
it is right in the abstract, but be-
cause it gives them better business
results. The National Cash Reg
lister Co., the Cadburys, of Eng
land, the Pennsylvania Railroad
Co.. the Chicago & Northwestern
Ry., and many others might be
named as instances Of great busi-
ness concerns that favor strict pro-
hibition for purely business rea-
sons. The following letter from
well known railroad man en-

Topeka, Feb I8.-In his study OF
the workings of the prohibition
law in Kansas the Rev. Charles NJ.
Sheldon of Topeka recently address,
ed letter to J. +. Hurley, genraI
manager of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe railroad, asking mis-
impressions on the matter from
the standpoint of railroad mana
ger.
81 regard the prohibition law Of
the state of Kansas as one of very
great value, especially to the rail-
road men, who are in some ways
tempted along the lines of intem-
perance as other working men are
not tempted, owing to the nature
of their work, their enforced abb
sence, from home, etc. The fact
of the prohibition law in the state
of Kansas and the absence in so
many towns of the saloon as an
element of tem'li ,tion has raised
the standard of the life Of the rail
road man. 1t has in many cases
added to his home life. assisted in
the education of his children and
proved great blessing to his en-
tire family"
"The difference between con-
ditions in Kansas and those in
states where the saloon is permit
ted by license is very marked. /
do not hesitate to say that the ad-
vantage is all with the state Of
Kansas, even under the handicap
of its being surrounded by states
where the saloon is allowed. The
condition of the railroad men
in Kansas is better in every way
on account of the prohibition law.
I regard the law as a great bless
ing in every particular to the
social, moral and general well-be-
ing of working men and especially
railroad men, with whom / have
lived nearly ali my life, and ! do
not hesitate to say to the world
that all railroad men the world
over would be greatly bene fitted
by the passage of such a law as
that which is on the statute books
in the state of Kaas. nr

Jail for a few days.
Referring to the crime of the
lynching and to the reports that the
men involved were of the "best
citizens" in that county, Judge
Shaw said that "regardless of the
character of the man he was human
being charged with crime, and he
was entitled to the protection of the
Constitution and laws of the State,
and by a crowd of towards he was
killed.
"When I say cowards," almost
shouted the court, "I mean what I
say; talk about good citizens doing a
thing, like this. don't believe it..
It's the lawless element"
He declared that the statement
that the mob was composed of "good
citizens," had been made for the
purpose of hiding the real trans
action.

THE ROBBERS FAIL.
Seek to EntiCe Cashiers Hicks
And DOrSett From Home.

Spencer, N. c., July 14.-At 2:30
o'clock this morning an unsuccess-
full attempt was made by unknown
parties to entice A. w. Hicks, cashier
of the Wachovia Loan and Trust
Company, at Spencer, from his home
to the bank presumably for the pur-
pose of forcing the cashier to open
to safe at the dead hour of night.
A caller at the door awakening the
family OF Mr. Hicks stated that a
prominent gentleman of Winston
Salem was at hotel and had sent
for the cashier to come atonce.
Knowing the gentleman whose
name was given to be in Europe,
Mr.. Hicks told the caller there was
some mistake and demanded his
name. The stranger, who was a
white man ofgood appearance, insist
ed on getting the cashier out of his
home, but finally fed andk it is be-
lieved joined a party of robbers on
the street. Officers are working on
the case, which caused sensation
in Spencer, but are without clue.
A similar attempt was made at
the same hour upon J. X. Dorsett,
cashier of the the bank of Spencer.

YELLOW FEVER In LOUISIANA.

La Place is not on a through or long
railroad. 1t is on the Mississippi
river twenty-nine miles above New
Orleans, in the parish of st. John
Baptist. The town is perhaps ten
miles from Lake Pontchartrain, along
the shores of which the Illinois Cen
trail railroad is laid. The distance
between it and any railroad in Al
ALBANIA is simply the distance to New
Orleans, and Lake Pontchartrain lies
in the way. Perhaps more isolated
place near New Orleans could not have
been selected. and DR.. Irion, presi-
dent of the Louisiana state board OF
health,is watching the locality close
ly, employing in the meanwhile all
possible precautions.
But Louisiana certainly should
punish the physician in charge OF
the case severely. He knew his
duty, having formerly been the
health officer of st. Johns parish,
but he neglected, or rather intention
ally refused to report the case until
July 7,twelve days after its develop
ment. The patient is now well, but
in the twelve days many mosquitoes
may have bitten him. An example
should be made of the offending
doctor, who preferred the whims of a
patient to the public health and the
welfare of perhaps the entire south.
His name is Montigut, and he needs
an allopathic done of Louisiana law.
1t if regrettable that Texas greed
and states rights nonsense kept the
marine hospital service from taking
charge of the yellow fewer situation
in and about New Orleans. It is the
danger point of the country, ,and ever
will be in the respect ofyellow fever.
AS the law was finally passed the
general government will have charge
of maritime quarantine, and the
state boards will control the situation
on shore. DR.. Irion is president of
the Louisiana state board of health,
and upon him falls the task of seeing
that the case at La Place does not
become focus of infection. There
were many cases of the yellow fever
in 1905 at La Place.

SUDDEN DEATH AT MOREHEAD
Young Billy Boylan, Of Raleigh, Sue
CumbS to Heart Failure, While
Talking With Y. N. /.
CldSSmate.

Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock,
while sitting in a lower window of
the Atlantic Hotel ball room with
V. M. I. classmate, "Billy" Boylan,
as he was familiarly known by all
his friends, son of Mr.. Billy Boylan,
of Raleigh, and a universal favorite,
suddenly gasped for breath, which
even his companion barely noticed,
and lell backward to the floor dead.
Nothing could have been more
sudden, a flash of lighting could not
have caused more instant death.
There was not movement of the
lifeless form as it lay upon the floor,
not the twitching of a muscle. Death
was instant.
At first it was thought the young
man had fainted. Friends sitting
near went quickly to his assistance,
Ladies rushed to their rooms for re-
storatives, several doctors, including
Drs. Primrose, Duffy and Hoke,
were promptly at his side; but, while
they ceased not in exhausting every
effort, their experience and examina-
ton told them he had already y''crossed
the harbor bar" and yet they hardly
knew how to face the anxious throng
of the popular young mans friends
lowering over him and say to them
"he is dead"
His young sister, Miss Josephine,
his idol, and for whose pleasure he
had gone to Morehead, had but a
few moments before passed him and
spoken with him, on her way to her
room, and she was now the object of
tenderest solicitude. Strong hearted
men wept at the thought Of her,
while the ladies of the hotel gathered
and hurriedly and tearfully consult
ed as to how to break the news to
her. It was terrible, it beggars de-
scription. The speechless anguish of
those sympathetic faces as they con-
templated the unspeakably sad situa-
ton.
While the young mans remains
were tenderly borne to his room
several of Miss Boylan's lady friends
from Raleigh went to her room-let
us not follow them there. Their
mission is too sad for pen to portray.
The father of young Boylan was
notified by telegram of the sad and
sudden ending of his young life, and
the remains were prepared for the
casket, and, accompanied by his
sister and number of friends, came
up to this city on the late train last
night, and were taken on to Raleigh
for interment.
The young man was about 19
years of age and was sitting in the
window with Mr.. Kennon Borden,
of this city, and together they were
looking through the V. M. I. an
nual, of which institution they had
been classmates last session, when
the end so suddenly came as de-
scribed above.
The physicians say that his death
was instant, and was due to heart
failure.

OH. Inc GIlleSpleS SOWeQ part OF tnlS,
but finding that they could get plenty
of work at good wages did not SOW
the entire lot. This, not being ac-
cording to contract, worried Mr.. Lyer-
ly, who spoke to Nease and was, in
turn, cursed. Finally, however, the
matter was settled by Mr.. Dellinger,
the saw mill owner, agreeing to pay
house rent for Gillespie. Nothing
more was heard of the wheat until
some time ago, when it had been cut
by Mr.. Lyerly, who was preparing to
have it thrashed.
Monday Nease Gillespie. went down
to Mr.. Lyerly's home and asked him
what he was going to do with the
wheat.
"Why, I am going to thrash it and
use it," said Mr.. Lyerly.
"You will not" declared Nease.
Hot words followed and Mr.. Lyer-
ly ordered the negro out of his yard.
It was here Gille pie told his land
lord that he would kill him or die in
the attempt if he used the wheat
without giving him share of it.
It was after this that Nease told
Mr.. Webb that Mr.. Lyerly might cut
the wheat, but he would never eat or
sell it. Gillespie had been very in
solent to Mr.. Lyerly.
The crowd which gathered at the
Lyerly home heard of this threat
of Gillespie and went to his house to
arrest him. The neglo had gone to
ssis work, mile or more away, but
wife became frightened and ran
',e home of Mr.. Dick Files, a
.er, and begged him to protect
b, saying that she would be hanged
fo Killing the Lyerlys when she had
nothing to do with it.
SAID aEsp1E KNEW OF THE
~R1ME.
.I donfs bathing about it,
but; but my ;1h hus0SF i, '' said Giles
Near the homsaf es.lsspie was a
freshly burnrspot, whereastraw bed
and other things had been fired since
daylight. Those who graveled in
the charred place found pieces of
clothing, and a spoonful of scortched
blood. Some spaces from the house
a bloody shirt, which had been
boiled and was still wet, was dis
covered in weed patch. These bits
of evidence, when put together,
make an interesting and convincing
story.
Gillespie's wife was hysterical and
wild. She talked two ways, but the
officers believe that she gave her
husband away to Mr.. Files. Gillespie
is described as a fussy negro.
Revenge seems to have been the
motive for the bloody murder. There
were more than $3.50 in the house,
and not a cent of it was taken.
Mr.. Isaac Lyerly was a well-to-do
man. He leaves an estate worth
about So 900.
YOUNG NEGRO CONFESsES.
Barber's Junction, July A.
Henry Gillespie, a young son of
Nease Gillespie, this evening made
a confession to the effect that his
father and John Gillespie committed
the crime and that the other negroes
arrested were implicated. Henry
Gillespie was at the scene of the
killing all day and on being ques-
toned this evening he became fright
ened and made a confession to Mr..
e. A. Barber, constable, and in the
presence of w. A. Thompson and
others. He was then taken into Gus
tody. He said the elder Gillespie
and his son John killed Mr.. Lyerly,
his wife and the little boy, Jonnie,
and fatally injured the little girl, who
died this evening, and that the other
negroes arrested were implicated in
the commission of the tragedy.
