TRAGEDY
Another Horrible Chapter
on Saloon Business
in Arson
Brother OF Saloon Keeper, a Block
adcr, Under the OF
Liquor, Kills His Brother and
Then Cuts His Own 1hroa

Especial to News and Observer.)
Wadesboro, N. c., Oct 26.-As a
result Of a protracted spree and a
drunken debauch Mr.. Ellis Hightower,
a middle-aged man who lives in the
southern part of this county. right
near the South Carolina line. shot and
instantly killed his mother with a
pistol last night. 1t seems that Mr..
Hightower was at his nome on his
front porch in a semi-conscious con-
dition from the influence OF Whiskey
when his mother approached him to
get him to go in the house, and he
suddenly drew his pistol and shot her
through the heart. When the pistol
fired Mrs. HightoWer said, Son you
have killed me-" and expired imme-
diately.
This morning. after realizing what
he had done, Mr.. HightoWer cut his
own throat and died about 10 O'Clock,
Mr.. Hightower had a reputation of be-
ing a noted blockader and dealer in
Illicit liquor.
He was brother to Mr.. f. VI. High
tower, who is in the saloon business
in Wadesboro, and who has made ar
rangements to go to Wilmington and
run a saloon after the first of next
January.
Thus ends another chapter in the
continued liquor business IN Arson
county.

CHILDREN COST TOO MUCH.
Modern People are Asking Of the
Baby-DOes 1t Pay?

Never were the drawbacks, the
faults and the failings of children s o
trumpeted as now, says The Delineator
for November. The baby is under the
social microscope. He is examined
and weighe and tested. His cost is
kon his disposition analyzed, his
CAPACITIES measured, his future value
estimated, and he has to answer the
great American question-Does It
pay?
Most of the Women who might have
been the joyful mothers of children
and are not, have simply been ter
rorized, so it would seem, by the
crusade against the child. They have
been frightened by the figures of the
economist by the analysis of the So
biologist, and by the landlords for
bidding frOWn.
"Children cost SO much thai we can
NOT afford them" ut is so hard to
get q nice place to live, when one has
a family Il dare not undertake the
responsibility Of children. for one can
never tell how they Will turn out.
Over and over these reason are gwen,
not by the smart set" nor the last
set nor by any kind of queer, selLlsn
people, dead to natural instincts, out
by good average Americans VINO are
trying to do right just as nearly as
they know how. SO many Things
make it easier not to have children

STRANGE ROAMING WOMAN
Prof. Holt Sanguine of Carrying Gull

Especial to News and Observer.

Zig Point, n. G.. oct. GA white
woman decided to TAX up lodging at
the depot here but the matron and
officers deemed otherwise. Her mys-
terious appearance and disappearance
have for sometime baffled the wits Of
the matron- Sometimes she would be
found locked up in the Asheboro
train which stands here for several
hours in the evening. Then again she
would take up her quarters in the Ia
dies waiting room. Last night she
suddenly appeared in the waiting
room about nine O'Clock and going
to the ladies room began to make her
self at home. The matron asked her
what train she was going to TAX and
the mysterious woman told the cullud
citizen that it was none of her BUSH
ness, emphasizing the assertion with
much emphasis. This had gone too
far and the Chief of Police was noti-
fled and arriving on the scene told
the woman she would have TO move on
in fear of arrest. 1t is said that the
woman Is demented but the matron
says mo indeed" that the woman had
good sense and is simply a rOamer.
She had on a bonnet hat came down
over her face and as her c-ountenance
wasn't visible no one knows who she
is-this strange woman Of the night.
The matron is expecting a return visit
from the woman one Of these nights.

What living writer for children has
so magic a touch is Mrs. Burnett, and

GOVERNMENT
/. WARNS INDIANS
Five Tribes in the Territory
Told TO Keep an Eye Out
For Land GrabbeTS

MUSKOGEE, I. T., April "A cir
Indian Commissioner Francis +. Leupp
has been received by Indian Agent
Kelsey its purpose being the protec-
ton Of the full blood Indian from land
men and "grafters." The letter is being
printed in English and every language
of the five civilized ,tribes, and twen-
ty-five thousand copies will be sent
TO the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole,
Creek and Cherokee Indians. 1t is the
first of its kind the government has
ever sent out.
The rather unusual letter, signed by
the Indian Commissioner as a friend
of the Indian, follows;
"You are in great danger OF losing
the land which you have chosen for a
home unless you carefully follow the
instruction which am giving you. A
great many men better educated than
you, are preparing to take advantage
of the law and steal away from you
every acre on which they can lay their
hands.
From this time forward sign no
paper of any sort whatever without
first consulting the nearest government
representative with whom you are ac-
quainted and in whom you have conf
dence. / think you can safely go to
any of Ssie government teachers I'm
your neighborhood for advice. The
government inspector for the Indian
Territory at MusSogee is always ready
TO answer question and render help to
Indians.
Government officers generally scat
tered throughout the Territory under
