Christian Science Breaks up Family.

Alfred H. Williams, a wealthy
and prominent wholesale druggist
of this city, who recently gained
considerable notoriety by assault
ing his wife, following a dispute
with her on the subject of Chris
tian science, today signed an
agreement by the terms by which
the couple will live hereafter
apart, Williams to pay his wife
500 per week..
Williams maintains that the
breaking up of his home is due to
the adoption of Christian Science
by his wife and the'efforts Of Mrs.
Williams to their daughter, Miss
Elizabeth Williams, a student at
Wellesley College. embraces the
Christian Science Church.
Since the occurrence Williams
has inaugurated a campaign
against the Christian Science cult
varying his apursuits of business
with the distribution of papers
and pamphlets exposing the al
legged evil influences of the sect.
The Williams family has occu-
pied a prominent position in So

ASHBY IN JAIL.
Murderer Of Dan Overcast Captured by
Rowan County officers.

Ed. Ashby,, the slayer of Dan
Overcast, his brother-in-law, was
arrested Monday at Cranberry, N,
c., by Deputy Sheriff Jim Krider.
The officer reached here with his
prisoner Monday night and placed
him in Jail.
Sheriff Krider and deputies have
been on Ashby's trail since the
day of the killing, and managing
to learn of the section to. which
he was bound: Deputy Krider
went to Cranberry to head him
off, the result of his trip being as
stated alb I'VE. It is likely that
the trial will take place at the
August term of the Superior court
and some highly sensational de-
velopments are expected during
the trial.
Ashby claims that he killed
Overcast in self-defense. He says
that on the Thursday before the
killing Overcast had visited his
home and run HIM off. When
the two met on the day of the
murder Ashby claims that Over
cash had a pistol in his hand and
was threatening to kill him when
he, Ashby, shot in his own de-
Tense and killed the man who was
threatening to take his life. There
are all sorts of rumors as to the
circumstances attending the trag-
edy and the causes which led up
to it, and the tangle will only be
Strengthened out by the evidence
given in court, if then. While
we have no desire t6 create any
prejudice against Ashby, from
what can be learned, sentiment is
generally Oh the side of the. man
who was slain.

A change is coming over the
farmers about here and just what
it means is a problem. During
the last year quite a number Of
fairly well-to-do farmers have
sold out, quit the farm and come
to town and, we fear, some have
worsted their condition. A man
who knows nothing but farming
cannot, as a rule, come to town
and secure any better employment
than a common laborer. He can
not neal live with the ease and
plenty with which he has been
accustomed on the farm. But

settled in Charlotte where he had

1--WE often hear remarks which
indicate an impression that poll
ticians are rather a low set of
fellows, with selfish aims and cor.
rupt practices, who manipulate
party politics for their own ad-
vantage and that the less self-re-
spectlng gentlemen have to do
with them the better. If that is
ever the case, and it undoubtedly
is the case at some times and in
some places, in such places polit-
ical control is allowed to 60 by
default. Such a condition of pol
itical affairs is always due to the
fact that the citizens who are
honest, upright and public-spir-
tied, who would not prostitute
party power to personal advant-
age, who would not make a party
organization a currupt comtina-
tion to secure place and profit,
fail in the performance of public
duty and permit the party organ
ization which limits and restraints
the exercise Of their political
power to remain in the hands of
unworthy and self seeking men,"
The above remarks are those of
Elihu Root, Secretary Of State.
We give him credit for being can
did and sincere, but there are two
ways of making use of such state
ments. The man who is honest
and sees the truth in such re-
marks uses them to persuade
others to join in the attack on
the politicians and the little pea
nut politicians often make use of
them as a defense and exonera-
tion of their perfidy.
