To Whom 1t May Concern:
We have purchased from Berry
Bros. three gasoline engines ranging
from two to ten horsepower. For
small power and economical work we
do not think they can be surpassed.
We have one engine running our
band, rip and one circular cutoff saw
and it has never given us moments
trouble. In this connection, how
ever, vii say that we would feel safer
in giving Berry Bros. an order for
their engines, because they are thor
oughly posted on the construction
Of the engines they sell and we know
to our knowledge they have never
failed to make their engines run or
to give satisfaction to purchaser
where they have installed same. And
they guarantee all engines installed
and recommended by them to prove
satisfactory

The police today unearthed a
wholesale jewelry thief III the
person ST a negro girl named Bes-
sic Freeland. She was arrested,
plead guilty to two charges of
stealing jewelry. There are other
charges which may be brought
against h'r. She was not only a
wholesale, but rather a slick thief
as we'll. She stole on short &C.
quaintance. A few days ago she
was employed at a we'll known
boarding house and in three days
had stolen $75 worth of jewelry
from Mrs. w. H. Alexander.
Yesterday afternoon she went to
the home of J. NJ Reams to get

Chicago Phone Girls Strike.

Three hundred and fifty tele-
phone girls employed in the GEN.
tral exchange, of the Chicago Tele-
phone Company struck today.
Seven thousand telephones in the
business district were put out of
service.
The cause of the strike was an
order issued by the company
directing the girls of "Central" to
enter the building through a rear
door, which, in order to reach the
passageway, is muddy even in the
day time, and dark, Shiny and
slippery at night. There are
three saloon entraces on the alley,
and the girls declare that they
are annoyed by hangers-on of
these places.
A demand that the order relat-
ing to the rear door be changed
was refused by the company, and
the girls struck, after stormy
meeting held early today -Chica-

Remarkable Printing Press.

The University Press at Oxford
is one of the most remarkable
printing Establishments IN the
world, as we'll as one of the old
est. It is what you might call
self containing, and if everything
pertaining to printing were blot
ted off the face of the earth to-
morrow, the University Press
would go right ahead as if not h.
ing had happened. 1t makes its
own type and its own ink, burns
its own charcoal for making the
ink, makes it's own paper, and so
on. The workmen in the Press
are as interesting as the estab.
llshment itself In many in
stances son has succeeded father
down the centuries in it's employ,
as naturally as if the son were his
lordship, the father an earl and
the position an entailed estate.

BRYAN LOSES OUT.
Illinois Democrats Ignore his Request for
the Removal of Sullivan.

By avote of 1.038 to $40 tn
Democratic convention placed OF
the table the request of William
J. Bryan for the resignation o
Roger Sullivan from the Nation
al committee. Despite the fac
that Mr.. Bryan had declared tha1
he did not wish to be endorsed
unless Sullivan was repudiated
the convention declared him to bt
the one and only man capable Of
leading the Democratic party tc
victory in 1908.
The endorsement of Bryan and
the tabllng of the motion calling
for the resignation of Mr. Sulli.
van came at the close of most
exciting session of the conven-
tion, in which there were several
fights and throughout which con-
fusion reigned supre M @, T h e
committee on resolutions declin-
ed to report plank calling for
the resignation of Sullivan and
the debate followed upon a mo-
tion made in the convention by
Judge Owen Thompson, of Jack
sonville, calling for Sullivan's s
resignation. It had been agreed
that each side should have forty
five minutes of the time to pre-
sent it's side of the case, and
Judge Thompson was the first ad-
vocate of the cause of Mr.. Bryan.
He aroused the hostility of Sui
livan's friends by the unsparing
manner in which he dwelt upon
the last Democratic convention at
Springfield. He stl ode up and
down the plat orm, white with
wrath and his form shaking with
the intensity of feeling. His
caustic criticisms finally lost him
the ear of the convention, and he
might never have been able to
conclude his speech if Sullivan
had not personally requested qui-
.et.-Peorla, ILL.,, dispatch.

The Endless Chain Of Prayer. Passenger
Depot to be Enlarged.
Stan'y Enterprise. August, 23rd.

| StanIE Enterprise, August, 23rd.
We never like to appear sacre-
ligious, and dislike to discourage
some one who may earnestly be-
lieve he is doing a good deed, al
though he may be using the FOOLS
method for bringing it about. The
endless collecting chain crank has
long become nuisance and been
ruled out. But his plans were
taken up by the religious crank
who has instituted the endless
chain of prayer. Prayers pro-
cured in this way are not likely
to help any cause, and it is re-
freshlng to see some of our re-
llglous organs crying out against
the thing. The ten or twenty
five cents paid out bv each indi-
vldual in keeping the links of the
chain complete might do wonders
of good; but the good obtained
through the chain of prayers is to
be received with question mark.

Were Out Riding.

Oscar Walter and Miss Ell,
Gray came near being drowned il
Coddle Greek on Thursday nigh
of last week. They were return
ing from the County Suada,
School Convention at Harrisburg
and finding they could not gel
across the creek on the upper roao
on account of the swollen waters
they went back and attempted tc
get home by the lower road
They drove across the bridge at
Coddle Creek, and on this side got
into water over the horses head
Thu animal and the buggy were
quickly carried down, and the
buggy was turned oyer. The
horse was drowned, as it was i'm
possible to extricate him, Mr..
Walter making every effort to
save the young lady and himself.
They climbed on top of the
buggy, and made every effort to
attract by their cries the atten-
tion of some one living near or
some passer-by. Finally about
4 o'clock in the morning, after
they had been i'll this perilous
condition for hours, they attract
ed the attention of Mr.. Smith
and Mr.. Garmon who lived
close by. These gentlemen came
to the rescue, and after much
trouble managed to get Miss Gray
out by means of a rope. The
vehicle then turned over and
started down the stream with
Mr.. Walter holding to it. He
was washed off and caught on the
branches of a tree, where he re-
manned until 6 O'Clock before he
could be rescued. It was an awful
experience, and the young gentle
man and the young lady are to be
congratulated that they escaped
with their lives.
Last Monday night the store of
Linn Bros. at Lands was robbed,
The door was forced open and
some shoes missed, but no money
was taken. Just what amount of
goods was stolen has not been
learned though it is thought to
have been small. The officers
there have no clue.
A change will go into effect on
R. F. D. route No. 3 soon. This
will add about 5 miles to the
route, and about 1870 families will
be served Only four families
now served will be off the route,
and these can be serued ~ going
little further for their mail.
The change will put a number of
new families on the route.

A Suggestion as to Hall and his Kind. A
Story Of Beans.
Lexington Dispatch, Aug, 22nd.

|
A farmer with load of beanI
was trying to get 45 cents q bush
el for them. He recited the fac
that some one else had sold beans
at that price and brought othe]
arguments to bear on the dealer
who, however, was not convinced
that beans were worth more than
40 cents. Finally the man with
the beans shook his head vigorous.
ly aud declared that "beans was
scace, [ tell you. The rain makes
'em fall off the vines" Raill
proved to be the magic word and
the deal was closed instanter.
The graded schools will open
Monday, Sept. 10th. The year
will be notable in the history of

building will afford for the first

children. Ten rooms have been
fitted with desks and all neces
sary equipment. The c h
grounds are being prepared with
an eye for beauty. About six
hundred children may attend the
graded schools this year.
There are three places in North
Carolina where negroes are not

meth no negro has ever passed
night in Canton. He may work
there as he can in Mitchell and
Madison, but at night he must
skidoo. L one is found after
sundown he is quietly told that it
is not healthy for him, and he
travels. y
