A Splendid Idea.

Would it not be good >lntvest-
ment for the county if our COM
missioners would employ good
aud experienced man to be super
intendent of road construction?
By doing this he con]d instruct
the several township supervisors
as to best metho ds, and settle
questions of dispute where points
of law are involved, and it should
be his business to audit all claims
before they are presented to the
county con missioners, thus saw
ing to the beard much valuab BILE
time at their regular monthly
sessions. Money spent in this
way, for q truly efficint head man ,
would be money wisely spent

Stamey Ballard received painful
cuts on his hand by coming in
contact with running say. This
Is Mr.. Ballard's second accident
at the factory, he having received
painful injuries there several
weeks ago.
1t is reported in Statesville that
a colored woman named Della
Harris, who says she is the wife
of Will Harris, the Mecklenburg
Desperate, is living here. The
report comes from the colored
people and whether the woman is

Rev. DR.. G. M. Richards preach.
ed at Front street church Sunday
afternoon and presided over a
congregational meeting which was
held to call a pastor. The con-
gregation extended a unanimous
call to Rev. W. G. Brown, now
pastor of Concord, Clio and New
Salem Presbyterian churches, for
all his time, at salary Of $500

first pastor of Front Street church
and is popular with the congrega-
tion. Whether he will accept the
call is not yet known.
Col. II. c. Cow!es has a good
memory When the election
tables we're published recently he
asserted that in publishing the
congressional vote in the Black
burn and Newland contest two
years ago the vote of the second
and fourth wards in Statesvii]e
had been transposed so that the
vote of the fourth ward appeared
as that of the second and vice
versa. And the colonel examined
the records and proved that he
was right. The change made no
difference in the total, but the
vote of the second ward two years
ago was Blackburn AZ, Newland
1903; fourth ward, Blackburn 55,
Newland 115.

AN AUTOMOBILE RIDE.

BY ADRIENNE ROUCOLLE. Copyright, 1906, by Daily Story Pub. Co.)
 We will take an automobile ride this afternoon. Dolly. Be ready by two- thirty. please" ,...-
 The tones were cold, inclsive. all most harsh. while the face, handsome in spite of the frown on the brow and dropping of the tightly compress ed lips. increased still more the im- preston of controlled anger of the voice.
 Mrs. Markford looked up from the letter she was reading and gazed at her husband with startled eNpres- sion then she said.
 This afternoon? Why. Hector, I have an engagement with some ladies at the club md will not Dc aolc to g,. You know cha: -
 Yes. l know that you will come, Your appointment can wal. You will go with me this afternoon don often ask for 2 few moments of your tiIae. but to-day dc irslgi on your coming. At two-thirty. then"
 He rose and without another word left the room. Mrs. Markford looked after her hISb,n md Shs -r."l
 How strange he lookci and how cold his voice sounded I wonder if
  tho very lips, then with shrug of her shapely shoulders exclaimed. Bah! what notion Our secret is well guarded and piy husband, oeru- pied as he is with his club, his dogs and his horses. is not the man to look too closely after tho conduct of his wife. Still I'd better humor him to- day and go for the ride. I will write to Ralph that I cannot meet him this afternocn.
 Mrs. Markford was a rrtt:y won- an. one of those p.nl; and white ani gold beauties, shallow and cold. with. out any depth. either moral or in- tellectual' doll in whom vanity took the place of a heart. She had mar rled Markford because he was hand sor.e and rich ant rlost of tho girls wanted him. After her marriage the social position of her husband rhrew her much in the fashionable world. and she soon became the society queen of the season. This triumph had now lasted three years and still she held uncontested sway as the most admired woman of the capitaf.
 As to Markfcrd, he was not happy. His strong loving nature was Ill mated with her vain, selfish one. He wanted love, and he got but itF shad- had a fashionable mansion, a stopping place fo" the idle. Daily he became more morose and from a home-lovjng man he turned into clubman.
 Markford did not come home to l lmch that day, but at two thirty he was at the door with the automobile She did not keep him waiting. Wrapped in her furs for the air was cold, heavy veil protecting her face,

FOR COTTON
IRREGULAR AND THE
 RULING QUIET.
Undertone is Fairly Steady, and ct the Close Prices are Unchanged to Two Points Higher With Sales
 of 25O.OOO.

New York. Feb. 15-The cotton market was hardly so active as yesterday and fluc- tuations were irregular. The undertone was fairly steady. however, and the mar ket closed net unchanged to two points higher. Sales were estimated at 2S0.00G of 295 points under scattering liquidation by yesterdays buyers which were promoted by cables about one point under expecta- ttons and rumors that pool had been form ed Of local operators to hammer the market should 1t advance this morning.
 . There was m sign of aggressive selling. however, and prices soon rallied on a renew showing net gain of about four points, the market weakneed again under increased of- fertngs by room traders and a renewal of the early liquidation, owing to the relative easi- mes of New Orleans and reports of a smaller spot inquiry than was noted yesterday. The market eased off under this pressure to a net loss of six to seven points but rallied two CT three points of the top.
 1t seems the impression in local circles that powerful interests are buying on soft spots and 1t Is -lid that spot houses have also been liberal buyers on the recent declines. ScalpinR sentiment continues more or less bearish. however, in the absence of general demand and the fact that receipts are running ahead of last years, although the movement so far for the season is behind the figures of tse3-04.
 Receipts at the ports today, 15.34O bales. against f7,9SS last week, and 13,200 last year. For the week (estimated) 135, 000 bales. against f3s,670 last week and T4.s65
 Toiay's receipts at New Orleans s.72s bales, against 2,si7 last year: and at Hous- ton 5.e4e bales, against 2,25s bales last year.

you with me in death, at the same time give to that death the ap- pearance of an accident. Madam, I know your secret; you and Ralph Perkney!> I have known of this for four months. and during the madden ing days md sleepless nights, bat ting with my rage and jealousy, have' thought out 'he plan which to- day I am carrying out. The world will never know of your cruelty or my despair; the papers tomorrow will speak of the awful accident due to my carelessEGss, and no one will guess that for one of the victims. at least it was not an accident. This I think Is better than the divorce courts. Now, madam, if you still trust in anything; If you have any faith in God, pray, for the bend of the road of which I spoke is only two miles away and in few minutes we will both be dead"
 Paralyzed with fear, her eyes start ing wildly before her, her breath com ing with difficulty between her open lips, she did not move, did not utter one cry for help, one word of mercy. Terror. in freezing her blood, had de- stroyed her power of action. The ma chine was now going full speed and the oak tree down the road seemed to the frightened won an to be run ming to meet them, so rapidly did 1t seem to advance.
 The suspense. however, was not long. With ar awfu! crash the ma chine struck the tree. 1t rose in the air like Q wounded thing. then fell backward crushing in it's fall the two occupants which lay buried, beneath the ruins. Hector Markford was avenged.

By Private Wire to LOveman & Company,
 36 Commerce Street. e+
 New Orleans, Feb. 15.--On a disappotntlng Liverpool our market opened barely steady at decline of 54s points. Shorts who had carried over from the day before bought on the decline, and the initial loss was fully recovered May selling as high as 10 9S. at this level there was some profit taking by satisfied longs and the reported weakness of spots caused some fresh selling which caused prices to sell as low as 10. ST for May A better feeling then developed. and the market gradually recovered before the close which was steady at prices unchanged to one point down on the day. Spots were of ffeially reported quiet and unchanged. Sales amounted to 2,250 bales of spots and 500 hales to arrive, on the basis of 10 11-16c for middling. There were no deliveries on con tracts today
 The spot demand was considerably less active today but notwithstanding the fact the market ruled remarkably steady The March position especially showed surprising steadfness in view of the near approach of notice day. Some attributed the relative strength of March contracts to the taking out of straddles between March and May on such transactions as now show a profit: We are inclined to think. however. that large export houses finding 1t difficult to buy de sirable grades of cotton, are buying March contracts with a view of demanding deiv- cry Middling is the basis for all contract cotton and cotton below certain grade cannot be rendered on contracts in this mar ket Speculation for the time being is dead, and the market Is sustained only by It's own strenEth.
 Yours very truly.
