Eighteen persons were trampled to

Church in Sth street, near Girard ave-
nue., Philadelphia. The worshipers
were ON the second floor of the build
ing, and the deaths occurred in the
crush on the narrow, winding stairs.
Most of the victims were women and
children. In the height of the panic
men knocked down and trampled on
the weaker members of the congrega-
ton, mothers threw away their babies
in order to escape themselves, and all
their primitive passions were revealed
in the wild scramble for safety.
Scores of the wOrShiperS rushed to
the north stairway, in which there was
a sharp turn. The struggling persons
became wedged at the turn, and the
railing gave way, precipitating scores
to the floor below. Others leaped upon
the PROSTATE bodies and made their
way to the street. Only one man of
all those in the congregation persisted
and he was killed by leaping out of a
window

The Boy.

Recently in Burke county court room,
a grief stricken mother surrendered the
last cent she could rake and scrape and
borrow to save her son from the chain
gang. 1t was piteous spectacle and one
presenting a great moral lesson, The
son had been raised and encouraged in
idleness and shrinking and selfishness
and carelessness until he had naturally
and inevitably developed into a lawless,
disorderly citizen. The lesson is that
there are hundreds of thousands of boys
(ten, twelve and fourteen years of age)
headed in that direction now travelling
fast as life allows. They drop out of
school because they do not want to work
and then take to the streets and the by
ways that lead to ruin. ''They have
sown the wind and they shall reap the
whirlwind." They are idling on the
streets and they shall work on the roads
unless something is done to head them
off from their logical destination. A
sad day is dawnlng when parents ac-
knowledge their inability to control
their own boys, and these same boys
ought to be kept at work at something
even If the parents have to pay for the
privilege; otherwise there will be a
harder debt to pay in later years by the
boys and the parents and the communi-
ty.-News Herald.

Crawford's Happy Hit.

C. o. McMichael. Editor Madison Her.
aid,
The democrats of North Carolina met
in convention in Greensboro Tuesday
1t was composed of the most represen-
tative body of men that have ever gath
cred in the state. After years will
demonstrate the fact that this was q
history making convention. The Her.
aid predicts that more good will come
from the deliberations of this conven-
tiOn than from any that has ever as
sembled in the state. The men who
are close to the people are in touch with
them and can feel for them aid sympa-
thize with them were in control in
everything except the nomination Of
Corporation Commissioners, and but for
the fact that the interests that were
backing. Mcneil had gotten in their fine
work before the convention he could
not have landed the nomination. The
men that favored the nomination of a
new man for this place seemed to voice
the sentiments of the great majority of
the delegates when they asserted that
the time had come in North Carolina
when the railroads must confine them
selves to the business for which they
were chartered and stop trying to write
the platform and nominate the candi-
dates-at least for the democratic party.
The convention with practical unani-
nifty endorsed Bryan and AYcock for
standard bearers In 1908.
The speeches made by several promi-
nent men at different times and ON diff
ferent subjects, with few exceptions,
were of a high order. The feeling at all
times was of the very best, and but for
a few discordant notes injected by GER
tain men WIEN the Bryan resolution was
under consideration, absolute harmony
would have prevailed.
There were many happy hits made in
the convention, and one of the best we
think, was made by Hon. w. T. Craw-
ford, when answering the argument OF
the republicans as to their partnership
with the Lord, he said: "They had lied
on the Almighty and had been stealing
from the people," Crawford is one of
the strong men of the state. and we con-
ffdently predict his election in the tenth.

Adams Met Taft and BUTLER.

It is said that the Forsyth republicans
who stood by Blackburn, are very sore over
his defeat by Adams. The interesting re-
port is also given out that Adams called
up Roosevelt over the long-distance phone
and insisted that Douglas appointment to
the postoffiee at Greensboro be made at
once, as it would insure his own (Adams')
election as chairman. And it is further
stated that Adams met Taft and Butler at
Danville, Va, and informed Mr.. Butler
that he must not make himself to con-
spicuous at the convention, for If he did
there might be trouble for the organization.

JOKE WAS ON HIS WIFE.
"Better HaIf' Sided up to Anoth-
er Man and Went Walking Off
With Him Right Before
Her Husbands Eyes.

A ''city fatherr tells The Charlotte
Observer the following: THAT reminds
me of the trip my wife and took to
Chicago. When we came opposite
Seigel & Coopers's enormous department
store, she said to me:
Let's go in here
"No, told her. L didn't care to go
in, but I'd st y outside and wait for her
That suited her all right, and she went
in. / stood on the curb, to avoid being
run over, and kept my eye on the en-
trance to see my wife when she came
out: / had on black suit and light
colored hat. Just as my wife came out,
ID man was passing, dressed exactly as
was and about my size. My wife sidled
up to him and went walking off with
him. fell in behind them.
81 swan 1 had to stop two or three
times and laugh, to hear her chatting to
that fellow. She had him by the arm
Ind was telling him what she had seen
inside the store, He was extremely AZ
tentive and curious, and she did not
raise her eyes to him. Presently she
asked him question, got no reply, and
glanced up To know the reason. Well,
sir, l thought would die when saw
her eyes take in that strange man. She
sprung back from him, he laughing
quietly, and took in a circle with her
eyes. When she saw me she ran to me
md clung to me like woman in nov
81, and / was old-hearted enough to be
bending double with laughter.
"'Why didn't you come to mel" she
asked.
"'Come to you, the thunder!' | re-
piled. Il thought you were running off
with another man and all wanted was
to creep along and see where you went.
''But she cuddled up to me so close
and her eyes were so full of tears that
| didn't have the heart to her tease
much. In fact, think employed few
of the old honeymoon names, and
squeezed herhand, too"

voted to be one of the pleaaantest affairs

combined with the fine music of the

HendersonviIIs Must have Good
Roads.

At the last meeting of The Board of
Trade, DR.. Few made q strong plea for
better roads in this county. AS he stat
cd, some of the alleged roads are, after
heavy rains such IS recently, impossible.
The Greenville road is in deplorable
condition, and this. the main travelled
road out of Hendersonville, is disgrace.
Steps will be taken Immediately to
remedy this particular road, at least
AS was said at the meeting, If Hender-
sonville is to retain her present position
as the leading resort of the South, some
thing must be done immediatly to secure
good roads.
1t is now impossible to drive any
distance from the city, after heavy
rain. 1t works great hardships on the
farmers, and certainly counts against
the town that the summer visitors find
it unpleasant, and at times impossible,
to drive to any of the numerous points
of interest around this city.
It is said to be likely that the Ieges-
lature will be asked to take steps to
remedy this evil.
Many property owners. DR.. Few stat
ed, are perfectly willing to bear an ad-
ditional expense, personally, in addition
to the tax levied, in order to get roads
that will enable them to get to town
without sinking hub-deep liz clay and
mud.
The future of this city and county, it
is claimed, depends very largaly upon
our roads being put into good shape,
and it is the opinion of many Of our
most public spirited citizens that the
growth of this city and county should
no longer be handicapped by poor roads.
If the Greenville road, for instance,
were in good shape, it is claimed that
many people of that town would drive
here in their automobiles and therefor
bring still more visitors here.
1t is the opinion Of those WHO know,
that good roads do more to enhance the
value of farm property than any other
one thing.
Asheville is a case in point, where
the roads, for mang miles. in all direc-
tions, are superp.

Republicans Favor Corrupted Vote

The refusal of the republican house to
pass the publicity bill which would have
forced publication of the collection and
distribution of campaign funds, shows
once again that the republicans are in
favor of corrupting the electorate to ad-
vance their interests. Publicity in this
matter would be fatal. for it would show
how ''fat frying" is carried on, how big
corporations are made to stand and deliver
to the party that maintains tariffs and
passes laws for their benefit, and how
money is stolen from the funds held in
trust by defenders of the national honor
for widows and orphans and handed over
to thee. o. P. to corrupt the ballot. The
senate passed this measure, but the honor
able Mr.. Cannon, who measures every
thing by the dollar, refused to allow it to
com to vote, thus plainly declaring that
the republican party is bent on continuing
to buy elections.
