in Congress.
This list of subjects is given SO
that the.great value of the hand
book may be seen. It is abso-
lutely essential to every Demo
cratic editor and speaker in the
State, and to. every voter who
seeks to know political truth. It
is ready now for distribution and
everyone who desires a copy can
get it for the asking. "A card
mailed to Democratic State
Chairman A. H. Eller. Raleigh
N. G., requesting the book will
be given immediate attention. It
is a handbook that is worth
reading"
The above review of the Demo
cratic Handbook is taken from
the Raleigh News and Observer,
which is recognized authorityup-
on all matter pertaining to demo
cratic doctrine. A pity this work
Of the State Democratic Fxecu-
tive Committee cannot beput in
to the hands of every voter in
the State. It is worth while to
read it.

OH, HOW AWFUL

The Hendersonville Knights OF
Pythias went to Fletcher, yester-
day, and played ball with the
Fletcher Knights. Yes'm, they
played ball. They certainly did.
Or they called it playing ball.
The score was-well, we don't
care to say what it was. 1t is of
Nd interest anyway. But the
Fletcherites won and our boys
waited until it was dark before
they came home.

A GRUESOME CRIME
Boston Authorities investigating
Shocking Murder.
HUSBAND IS UNDER ARREST

Torso of Mrs Honerah. Jordan, an
Actress, Was Found in j Trunk and
Later the Head and Bones Of the
Limbs in . Furnace.
B~ston, Sept. 5.-But few points in
connection with the horrible and grue-
some murder in Greater Boston OF
Mrs. Hcnorah Jordan, IN actress,
who was khDwn on tie stage as Irene
EhAnnon by her husband, Chester s.
Jordan, remained to he cleared up by
the police Friday.
r. confession of TIE husband to the
police following lis arrest after the
accldenta. a.scoveIy Of the mutilated
torso of his wife in a trunk at No.
z Hancock street, this city, was be-
heved to be a substantial recital Of
the incidents of the brutal crime, but
several minor details of his confes-
sion conficted.
Examination by Police.
AS a result Of his examination by
the police, he disclosed all the ap-
parently important facts IN connection
whit the murder, and gave the infor-
nation which led to the discovery OF
the thighs and scalped head Of the
murdered woman, the only parts not
contained in the trunk at his home in
EomeryilIe. He also gave a plaus-
tble reason in a remark by his wife in
which he says ne was melted by her
belief that he was ~unfaithful. Fol-
lowing her epithet he struck her,
knocking her down a fight of stairs.
He declared That from that moment
until he awoke the next morning ne
has no recollection of anything When
he awoke he found the body lying at
the foot Of the stairs, the throat clash
ed from ear to ear. On this portion
Of his confession the police placed
the least credence.
Claims Mental Derangement.
Attorney William s.. Scharton, who
has been procured for the defense OF
Jordan, by mis- brother in law; Jesse
l.. Lvermore, the cotton market oper-
ator Of New York, states that he al
ready has evidence OF Jordan's mental
arrangement several weeks before the
murder, and i n this case the murder
ers' insanity may account for some OF
the lapses in his confession, although
as q whole it was remarkably clear.
When arraigned in police court Jor-
dan pleaded not guilty to a charge OF
murder. The case was continued un-
til Friday, Sept. IL, and Jordan was
remanded to Jail.
A Gruesome Crime.
This is said to be the most brutal
crime committed in Greater Boston
since the. death Of Susan M. Geary. a
chorus girl, four years ago, and. one
much resembling it in its details.
The discovery of the torso of Mrs.
IEonorah Jordan, an actress, Of Som
e~rviile. in a trunk in a boarding house
at No. z Hancock street, on Beacon
Hill, this city, led to an investigation
by the police.
Later the head AID bones of the
limbs were found il tho furnace of
the Jordan home at Somerville land
the scalp, hair and other gruesome re-
mains we're taken from the kitchen
range of the house.
These gruesome discoveries and
other evidence led to the arrest OF the
husband.

STATE DEMOCRATIC HAND
BOOK READY

cratic Handbook was issued yes
terday by the State Democratic
Executive Committee. and it is q
book which will prove of great
value not alone to Democratic
speakers, editors and voters. but
to everyone in the State.
'This is because it sets out in
clear words what has been
accomplished in North Carolina
by the work of the Democratic
party. things that ought to be
known by every voter. There
is no guess work in its pages but
every fact and circumstance
stated can be verifed'by the re-
cord and there is no chance for
successful contradiction of any
statement made in it. An UNI
biased reading of its pages will
induce the voter to assist in con-
tinuing the rule of the Demo-
cratic Party in North Carolina
The Democratic State Execu-
tive Committee and Chairman A.
H. Eller are to be congratulated
on the merit of the book and the
rapidity with which it has been
issued, the printing and binding
of Messrs. E. M. Uzzell and Co.,
being well and rapidly done. In
its pages there is the Democratic
State and National platforms,
and also the State and National
platforms Of the Republicans
with a comparison of these, and
articles whose value is to be seen
by their titles, such as: 1.-The
Blight Of Republicanism, a Part
of its Reconstruction Record,
Educational Awakening and
Progress Under Democratic
Rule, Republican Bond Con-
spiracy of Butler and Russell and
the South Dakota Suit" 'Sys-
tenn of County Government to
Protect the East" Revenue
and Taxation Equalized," 'The
Insurance D DEPARTING n t."

wood Cox in Freight Rate In
vestigation." After a discussion
of the various State issues the
handbook then discusses the
National issues and takes up the
records Of the Republicans,
showing how the people have
been kept at the mercy of trusts
and corporations and the special
privilege classes. Mr.. Bryan's
speech of acceptance is printed,
and there are articles on Trusts
and Resulting Injustices," The
Panics of 1893 and 1907 and Their
Causes" Expenditures Under
