The Merchants Dream.

Last evening l was talking
With a merchant aged and gray,
When he told me of dream he had,
l think twas Christmas Day.
While snoozing in his office
This vision came to view,
For he saw an angel enter,
Dressed in garments white and new
Said the angel, 'I'm from heaven;
The Lord just sent me down
To bring you up to glory
And put on your golden crown.
You've been friend to every one,
And worked hard night and day;
You've supported many thousands
And from few received your pay.
So we want you up in glory,
For you have labored hard,
And the good Lord is preparing
Your eternal just reward.
Then the angel and the merchant
Started up towards glory's gate,
But when passing close to hades
The angel murmured ''Wait-
I've place l wish to show you;
IL the nOCCeSC place IN hell,
Where the ones who never paid you
In torment forever dwell"
And behold the merchant saw there
His old patrons by the score,
| And grabbing up a chair and fan,
He wished for nothing more.
He desired to sit and watch them
| AS they'd sizzle, SINCE and burn;
And his eyes would rest on debtors
Whichever way they'd turn.
Said the angel, Come on merchant,
There are pearly gates to see."
But the merchant only muttered
This is heaven enough for me-"

WOMMS THROAT SLASH.
ED.

A Woman Fatally Injured at
Home Near Charlotte by Cut
Across Throat Mysteriously
Inflicted.
Cynthia Norman, white Wo-
man about "a years old, was
found in a dying condition at her
home near Charlotte Saturday
morning as the result of a slash
across her throat extending near
ly from ear to ear. She was
taken to the Presbyterian Hospi-
tai in Charlotte, where she died
Saturday night. 1t is not known
whether she was murdered or
committed suicide, but the last
theory is the one most generally
accepted.
Lizzie Norman, mother of the
woman, says that her daughter
went out to do the milking Satur-
day morning and later she found
her sitting in the path to the
barn with her throat cut. She
carried her daughter into the
house and summoned aid. There
was no evidence of a struggle
and no traces of blood were found
where she was sitting in the
path. How the woman received
the injuries which resulted in her
death is a mystery which has
baffled the police so far.

GIRL KILLED IN CHURCH.
Stabbed by Lunatic While seat
ed at Organ Playing Sunday
School Song.


Newton Special 18TH to Charlotte Observer.
At Startown, three miles from
this place, the Sabbath peaceful
ness was broken this morning by
one of the most demoniacal
crimes ever known in this coun-
ty. The tragedy took place in
the Methodist church about
1920 while Sunday school was
being held, Miss Willie Bullinger,
aged about Is years, being stabb-
ed to death by Lon RAIDER, aged
about 81, a dicharged lunatic.
The reports that reach here
are a little conflicting as to just
how the awful deed was done.
One is to the effect that Miss
Bullinger was seated at the Or
gan playing for the Sunday
school when RAIDER, leaping
across several seats, attacked
her with his pocket knife, stabb-
ing her once in the back and
twice in the br1 asst. Another
report is that the man waited
just outside of the church door
and just as she came out COM
mitted the deed. But wherever
the act was done, the result is
the same and the girl lies dead
at the home of her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Wallace Bullinger. The
attack was very violently made
and it is said that those reaching
the couple first could not prevent
RAIDER from giving his victim
several cuts.
The murderer was arrested at
once and is now in jail. He is
not sorry for the crime and is
reported as saying that he killed
her "becauce she was a witch. "
RAVED ABOUT THE GIRL.
RAIDER was last spring COM
mitted to the asylum at Morgan
ton, having become violently
insane. At this time in his raw
ings he talked necessarily OF
Miss Bullinger forseveral months.
He has been at home apparently
we'll and nothing strange was
noticed about him until his ter.
rible deed this morning. Yes.
terday afternoon he delivered {
load of wood in Newton anC
while here purchased a new
knife with which he committed
the murder.
News of the deed was brought
at once to Newton and the coun
ty physician DR.. George H. Yves
! and Sheriff D. M. Boyd hastenet
, to the scene. RAIDER had beer
secured Instant y on killing thu
girl and is now in jail.

DRAINAGE AND GOOD
ROADS.

and Good Roads Discussed by
Experts from Washington
Meeting Well Attended and
Much Interest Manifested.
Congressman H. L. Goodwin
and experts on drainage and
good roads from the Department
of Agriculture at Washington,
arrived here Monday according
to their appointment and at II
o'clock a large crowd of farmers
and business men assembled in
the opera house to hear discuss
ed these questions, which so
vitality concern the people of
Robson.
Mr.. Goodwin, after a few re-
marks on the importance of
drainage and good roads, intro
duced Mr.. j. o. Wright, who
discussed the question of drain
age. Mr.. Wright held the at
tention of the audience for about
an hour in his effort to convince
the people of the importance and
advantages of having their land
we'll drained. He says that in
many instances in some of the
Western States land that was
only worth$1. 25per acre before it
was drained is now worth from$8
to 500 per acre; and he contends
that some of our very best land
is now under water. AS a plan
or system of drainage Mr..
Wright suggested that we have
a State law enacted granting
owners of real estate the privi-
lege of issuing bonds for money
to drain it with. By doing this
the land can be run off into
districts and then each district
can issue bonds to drain all the
land in the district. The owners
Of the land in the district will
pay for the bonds in proportion
to the benefits realized from the
drainage. In this way every
farmer or owner of land will pay
for draining his own property,
and every farmer can more than
pay his proportion of the bonds
with extra production of his
land.
After Mr.. Wright's speech
Mr.. Goodwin introduced Mr.. G.
r. Hudson, who made a gooC
speech on the farmers co-opera
tive demonstration work. Mr.
Hudson says that the Agricultur
al Department at Washington
has been carrying on this CO
operative demonstration Worl
with the farmers for about fou
years with great results. H,
said that they had not expected
to reach Robson with this worl
before next year, but they fount

DENY Err IS READY TO
WELCOME DEMOCRATS
Colorado Metropolis Is Making Good
as Convention city-other AS.
sembIles to Be Brough.
by Hustling City

DENVER. Colo. Feb. 22.-This city
has guaranteed 100000 to the Demo-
cratic national committee to help pay
the expenses of the national Democratic
convention, which meets here July Z.
thousand dollars of this
money has already been paid to Chair
man Taggart, and the remainder of the
sum is ready when called for. In addi-
tion to this vast expenditure for the
convention there will be other large
amounts spent in the entertainment of
the delegates to prove to them that
Denver is the greatest convention city
in the country.
Citizens of Denver have a plan of
making Denver the annual meeting
place for all the great conventions In
the United States. The public spirit
of the city is expressed through a regu-
larly organized convention league, and
this league sends representatives to a
large convention meeting in any city in
the United States, The attractions of
the city are set forth in the best man
ner possible and the delegates are
urged to make Denver the next meet
ing place. If the first effort is not sue
cessful another attempt is made the
following year. This organized effort
began about four years ago and now
not only the Democratic national con-
vention has been captured for next
July, but long list of other conven-
lions of minor importance will also
meet in this city at that time.
Convention getting and convention
entertaining have been reduced to a
science and Denver experts claim the
greatest skill in this regard. The at
fractions set before the prospective
convention do not consist altogether of
scenery. although Colorado may claim
the best there is in that respect.
Bayard Taylor, after a visit to Switzer-
land, said he had looked at the Alps
and there was no comparison in beauty
between their far-famed scenery and
the view of 200 miles of the continental
divide from the streets of Denver. The
peaks seen from Denver are higher
than any that piece the sky between
the Matterhorn and the Jungfrau in
the Alps. The scenery of Colorado
seems to have the same appealing
quality as the Alps, for the artists who
have come under the spell of its charm
seldom leave off trying to reduce its
puzzling lights and shadows to can
vas.
Denver, high, dry, cool, bathed in
sunshine and vitalized with health,
aims to be the headquarters of conven-
lions from all over the land and all
over the world.
