In the Cadiz Record of this week
was reproduced an article written by
the county Judge of Trigg county,
Judge G. B. Bingham, which the
Record, owned in part by his SON
in-law, says has been endorsed as
the best account yet written in re-
gard to what the association stands
for. Among other things this article
contains is this paragraph:
The excess of virtue manifested
bv the enemies of the tobacco grow
ers distances hypocricy. The dis
position to magnify every idle word
dropped at a crossroads store by a
goods box whittier into incendiarism
and crime is meanness."
Taking the Courier-Journal to
task for publishing reports Of threats
the same writer adds:
Where there has not been a single
instance of lawlessness, or even a
threat, that could be traced to a re-
sponsible party, in connection with
aiae association, such publications are
EiDeIous aud demand refutation ii

A bill to tax bachelors has been
introduced in the Indiana House by
Representative Oberting, of Law
renceburg. 1t provides a tax of SIS
on unmarried men between twenty
five and thirty years of age; $3.50 on
those between thirty and forty, and
$40 for those over forty. There are
in Indiana 102,929 unmarried men
over twenty-five and it is claimed
that this law would produce over a
million dollars. All money obtained
thus would go to the school fund.

Stephens. Coroner Park and a jury
was present. The stomach was per-
sonally taken to the Agricultural and
Mechanical college here by the cor
Oner, and DR.. w. A. Syme is making
the analysis. The stomach of David
Rowland, DR.. Rowland's eleven year
old son, which was brought here from
Henderson by DR.. Tucker, is being
analyzed by DR.. DR.. w. A. Withers at
the same college.
A Raleigh lawyer says that Row
land is an adept toxicolOgist and that
in a tour of the world which ended
last year, he spent considerable tine
in the Far East.
Mrs. Rowland went to Henderson
this morning and visited her husband
in Jail there. She has plenty of money.
When she was notified yesterday in
the station house of the warrant for
her arrest she said she first wanted TO
go to the clerk of the court and deposit
money. She was taken there, made
the deposit as Administrative OF
Strange, and then aand there the war
AM was formally read. 1t is learned
that at Henderson and in the neigh
bOrhOod neal dhere. where Rowland
was born the feeling is high against
him. A mar from there so states, ana
added: 1--WE are all against him and
think he killed his boy" Rowlands
attorneys, on the other hand, say that
they are confident the analysis Of the
stomachs Of the boy and Strange will
show no poison. The charge of poison
ing is, of course, murder in the first
degree, which is capital.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers held a special meeting this
evening to consider this case. Among
them there seems to be only one Opin-
ion. Rowland is in Jail in Henderson
and will make no statement. The cor
Oner here, who is the committing mag
istrate, tells me that the authorities
at Henderson are directed to notify
him if Rowland is about to be released
so the warrant from here charging the
poisoning of Strange a be served.
He does not appear to think, however,
that Rowland will be released there.
It will be necessary 20 charge him
with this crime as principal in order
to bring in his wife as an accessory
before the fact, though the Indictment
may be so changed as to charge her
with direct preparation OF the crime,

Raleigh, N. c., May 21.-The sensa-
ton regarding DR.. D. S. Rowland and
his wife of Raleigh deepens. It is
learned from members of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers that
they suspected foul play directly after
the sudden death of Engineer G r
Strange, who, with his beautiful wife.
came here from Indiana. One OF them
says they do not believe Strange had
heart affection; that early in the year
he was at Norfolk for some minor
surgical operation, told the doctor he
did not know he ever had a heart and
was then given an an~aesthetic. Mr..
Strange was taken sick directly after
breakfast April g.. One of the attor-
neys for Rowland and his wife (then
Strange's wife) says the regular ply
stefan was telephoned for, but was alb
sent, n a druggist recommended Dr..
Rowland: that Strange met Rowland
at the door and in ten minutes was
dead and that death was said to be
due to vaivular disease of the heart.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers does not believe the statement
Of Rowland and his wife that they
had never met until that day. They
found he had a little later gone with
her to Norfolk.
They employed the two best detei-
tives there who found the couple had
registered at a hotel as Mr.. and Mrs.
Stephens, of Pendleton, n. C.. The
purpose was TO then arrest them on
the charge of poisoning Strange, but
they could not be found, the detec-
tives reported. though they visited all
the hotels in search of them. An en-
gineer who knew them when Strange
was an engineer on the Santa Fee Sys-
tenn, told those here that Mrs. Strange
did not have a good character The
engineers say they all liked Strange
and that he was a picture of health
and never complained of heart trouble.
Strange's body was exhumed today.
and the loathsome work of removing
his stomach was done by DR.. Aber-
aethy, city physician, with whom were
DR.. McGhee, county physician, and DR..

Jones, a red-faced broad-shouldered

well as janitor and deacon; in face, he
did everything but preach. Jones rose
up and in stentorlan tones began to
sing in pitch too high. When he got
to the second line ("Ten thousand

voice to rise beyond his capacity, and
he broke down. The congregation be-

1t is accepted here as the correct
version Of the departure of the duke
without bride that Mr.. Shonts stood
firmly for the American idea OF mar

have told De Chaulnes that he would
give his daughter a stylish wedding,
provide her with trousseau fit for a
princess and a substantial wedding al
lowance that would keep her in pin

any agreement to settle an income on
her for life before marriage, this he
would not do.

The activity was continued until 1t
was checked automatically by the ex-
cessive building of new lines in un-
productive territory. That means that

THE POT OF GOLD

The bankers of Burlington lwho are
in a position to know are authority
for the statement that immense sums
Of money have been sent out OF the
city during the past few years for in
yestment in oil gold, silver and cop
per mining stocks besides large pur-
chases of land, running up into the
hundreds of thousands Of dollars
MANY of the land investments are I'M
doubtedly legitimate enterprises where
value is exchanged for value and from
which there may reasonably be expect
ed a fair return upon the Investment
but not always. But land deals mixed
lup with other enterprises Of a COM
mercial nature, and thousands of
mining and oil companies are only
traps to catch the human gophers.
Some of these schemes are fakes, pure
and simple; others are companies
with honest purpose but unskilled or
unwise management: and some hav-

willy promoters Whatever the motive.
the fact is pointed out by the banks
that large sums of money have been
withdrawn from the aggregate capt.

PERKINS ATTACK.
(Reglster and Leader)

"a
Not as much attention has been at
tracted in Iowa to the letter written
by MI. Perkins of the 20" indorsing
Harpers' Weekly's attack on President
Roosevelt, as all the circumstances
warrant.
Just now there may be considerable
interest in reading what Mr.. Per-
kins wrote:
Burlington, Ia. March 10, 1907.-My
Dear Sir: IL you will allow me to do
SO want to congratulate you on your
speech at Charleston the other night.
For years have felt that Roosevelt
was very serious menace TO this
country's welfare, and it Is a great sat
isfaction to me to find able men. and
especially those who have the public
ear, taking that view and painting him
in his true colors. There are large
numbers OF people, I find, who feel
as do about Roosevelt, but, like me,
they have no way of getting the public
ear; and the great unthinking mass,
influenced by the newspapers and ter
rorized political office holders, have
thought, and still do think, that he is
both honest and able, while, as mat
ter OF fact he is neither
He is an able actor, has the actors
instinct. and catches peoples ifnagin-
alton but he is not an able man.
Nevertheless, thru this talent as an
actor. and his interruptions use OF
public patronage, he has so far been
able to carry thetpeople with him, and
he has done an enormous amount oil
harm by inspiring disrespect for the
courts and belief in labor union ty-
ranny
One Of the surprising phases Of the
situation is that so few men who have
the public ear have had the courage
to say what they really think about
him. / believe that what you have
said will have a wide currency, and
that 1t must have a good effect. am,
yours truly, Q. u. PERhlNS. +
Mr.. Perkins undoubtedly spoke for
Mr., Blythe, Mr. Baldwin and the Bur-
lington coterie in general. In fact the
sentiments contained in this letter are
substantially such as Mr.. Waite of the
Hawkeye expressed in his letter to
the New York Times.
Mr.. Perkins regards the president
a menace to the country's welfare
No doubt he is sincere in expressing
this opinion. There are thousands
who are situated as Mr.. Perkins is
who look on the president as he does.
The president, If he accepts a renom-
nation. will not be reelected without
contest 1t is a mistake to assume
to the contrary
But do the people at large share
Mr.. Perkins fears? Do they believe
the president is bent on course OF
dangerous radicalism? Will they be
influenced to any great extent by the
attacks Harpers' Weekly is making?
Will they turn to men like senator
Foraker, Speaker Cannon or Vice
President Fairbanks? :.
The coming months will answer all
of these questions. At present there
is no mistaking the drift. 1t is to-
wards Roosevelt and not against him.
