Charged With Shocking Crime.

CHARLOTTE, N. C-February 49,
A special to The Observer from
Marion, N. c., says: Deputy Sheriff
Cox has just reached here with IA
Slays, who are charged with shock
ing murder. Fifteen Of these foreign
ers came to camp No. 5 on the South
,& Western railroad a year ago and
have been at work there ever since.
According to the officers story the
men quarreled among themselves
Thursday, the brunt Of the war OF
words falling upon the member of
the little colony who had been serv-
ing as its cook. The Ia Slavs fell upon
the unfortunate cook that night and
securing him with ropes they led him
to q spot in the forest mile from
the camp. There they bound the
cook hand and foot and placing him
in an upright position against the end
Of fill, the crowd stepped off few
PAGES and began shooting, using the
cook as a target. The unfortunate
man was riddled with bullets. After
satisfying their thirst for blood the
murderers dug shallow trench
IN the fill and and buried their victim.
The hastily provided grave and the
blood on the ground led to the dis
covery of the crime by a foreman.
The dead man was known to have
had 500 in cash, but no money was
found on him. Notone Of the prison
ers speaks English and though court
lis convened, the trial can not be held
until an Interpreter is secured"

Negroes Barred from Convention.

TAMPA, FLA, Feb. 1S. Three ne
gro delegates sent to the lmmigra-
ton convention by local colored or
carnations today were refused seats
and asked to retire, delegations from
South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia
and Virginia objecting to their pres
ence. Another feature of the pro
ceedings was W. P. Nells, Socialist,
of this county, who appeared in the
convention and demanded a seat as
an American citizen. On motion of
immigration Commissioner Watson
of South Carolina, Nells was made a
member of the convention, which
Nells followed by vigorously oppos-
ing immigration of any sort.
C. F. Zimmerman of Memphis de-
clared the convention was wasting
time, as the prohibition wave now
sweeping the South would prevent
desirable immigrants coming to this
section and drive away many worthy
foreign residents already here.
The central trades union OF Ports.
mouth, Va, presented resolutions
opposing immigration, declaring
foreigners brought disease germs and
sent away good money.
Secretary of State McCown OF
South Carolina introduced a resolu'
ton referring the question Of i'm
migration to the several States, each
Estate to work out its own solution
All resolutions were referred to com
mittees.

The stars are shining this week,
nine of them. Is your boy one OF
them? If not, why not? The scholar
ship of this room has increased 25 per
cent during the past\ month. Has
your boy done his whole duty? Does
he tell you anything about his school
work? If not, he's ashamed of what
he is doing. Investigate. Examine
the above list from week to week; it
gives the correct standing Of each

Unless this school receives more
money from the dispensary it will not

First Victory of the Revolution.

The importance of the assault upon Fort William and Mary is generally overlooked by historians. The demon strations against various British armed vessels, beginning with the firing upon the schooner St. John i1 July, 1764, as well as the battle of Alamance, in North Carolina, in 17I1, were essential ly local and were so far removed from the Revolutionary period that they pro- duced no appreciable effect upon the war itself The Boston massacre" was the repulse of mob by squad of British regulars, but at Fort Vii liam and Mary the royal standard was lowered for the first time, and the gun powder taken therefrofn was burned by the patriots at Bunker Hill. The king recognized in the daring assault the inevitability of the impending struggle. There is truth in the claim set forth on the tablet op the old Fort Constitution of today that the site marks 'the first victory of the Amer ican Revolution. Army and Navy Life.

4 Pretty Warm Fish.

A well known fisherman was fishing for perch and was seated along the edge of a lake near the roots of a large tree, which was a favoritc spot for the perch. Luck had been only fair, and he was debating on the ques- tion of hauling in the line and going home when there came a powerful tug.
 He knew that he had a huge fish and struggled vigorously for twenty minutes before he landed his prize. It was q sunfsh, one of the largest he had ever seen. He landed it on the bank, and then he noticed that the rays from the fish were so powerful that he was almost blinded, and the grass in the vicinity was shrlyeled up by the heat.
 A few minutes later the man fell over. He had been sunstruck by the sunfish and was beyond hope.-Phil- adelphia American.

Shea said Griffin got home in the afternoon considerably intoxicated, and that when he is in that eondi- tion tlere is no peace in his immed- fate vicinity. Griffin got a black thorn stick and went out on the street looking for some one to fight with. He said Griffin beat his wife and called Mrs Shea names. One night not long ago while under the influence of drink Griffin tried to set fire to the house, said Shea. All of this Griffin denied and he was backed up by his wife, who would admit that he was only intoxicated yesterday. mark she had on her face she said was made by one of her children and her presence on the back veranda with the four children she said was caused because she liked to be there. Griffin was committed to jail for thirty days.

INDICATIVE OF HEALTH.

If there Do skeptic who doubts the absolute solidity of Globes financial in terests, he will ind restful dissipation of his fears by casting his optics on and studying carefully the figures present cd in the published statement of the financial condition of the Globe Ma. tional bank at the close of business November Is. It Is one of the most re- markable and gratifying statements ever made by a banking house in the southwest and evidences thu fact tha, out from the chaos of the panic came a greater and more solid Globe than ever before.
 The Globe National, always solid, is on better foundation today than ever before in it's history and upon this foundation it is building superstruc. ture that will appeal strongly to the conservative in the financial world and to those seeking safety among the smaller bank patrons.

UNwARRANTBD ALARM.

Every now and again some fellow bobs up with sledge hammer and takes an unwarranted knock at the Pinai Mountain Water company and the service 1t is furnishing the city. Several months ago the Silver Belt took hand in controversy that was started without real excuse and satis- fed the discordant faction that noun tains were being created from nolehills, and that instead of abusing or mis- treating people the service company was protecting the public against an absolute water famine.
 Now, the knocker Is again out with his relentless hammer. Right on the heels of the public announcement that the Pinal Mountain Water company had brought in another strong flowing well comes the croaker with the state ment that there isn't a drop of water in the great resetvoir on the hill and that as a matter of fact there ism t enough running through the service pipes to supply the actual demand. This kind of knocking, If persisted in, Is going to prove very expensive to the property owners of Globe and will not cost the company at which 1t is direct ed penny. The story has already reached the insurance companies and they are tslegraphing for information. If conditions were as reported you can rest assured that insurance rates would jump up at least fifteen per cent, may be higher, within the next thirty days. But, fortunately, conditions are not as represented. Before the new well was brought in there were times during the day that the water in the reservoir was lower than at other times and some few people residing at extremely high points in the residential districts on the hill noticed an absence of. pressure and on rare occasions total absence of water in the pipes. But even that IS thing of the past now. The new well is pretty near a gusher. It is the best of the chain of wells. The reser- voir on the hill is full to the brim, and that is the way 1t Is to be kept tn the future. There will be no low pressures at any points in the city, Or out of the city for that matter where the pipe lines penetrate. Tho croaker should give his mouth rest and the knocker should put away his hammer. There is plenty of water for all purposes, and the lord knows the insurance rates are plenty high at present.

for tho care of men and women who have been made human wrecks by the industrial and economic grind.
 The complaeency of wealth in it's misdirected charities by which they salve the hurts of injustice is most ex- asperating. When governments fulfu their complete mission there will be no unemployed and need of old age pen. sions as charity.
 Forests can be restored, the vacant lands titled, roads constructed, public works constructed, model home sections built and cared for and in hundred ways the state can make labor indcpen. dent of charity, set q scale for wages increase the purchasing power of the people, increase and make thrift to sake the place of degradation.
 All of this employment may, morsov. CT, be made to return revenue and in this way wipe out tho deadly effect of charity. Then the time will have come when the state will have placed man. hood and womanhood on a plane of at least equality with capital
 Then, too, the state may correct nor. als through the wise course of encour- agemens of industry and self-depen. dcnce, instead of encouraging vice through the hopelessness that comes with hunger ,idleness and homelessness
 This would be doing with socialism what the republican party of this coun- try has done with populism and Bryan isn-put it out of commission by the adoption of policies consistent with eco homie independence and individual competition, which reach in practical way the objects sought through the impossible, tangled and destructive ways of theory.

THE MISTAKEN sALvg OF CHAR

It is marked peculiarity of the economic and social policy of moderl, government that they tend to charity rather than to help along ways of in. dependence. England will spend sso,. 100000 on old agen pensions; in a mi. nor way it win give employment to a few thousand of the great army of un- employed by restoring forest areas.
 Vastly better it would be if the en. tire sum was used to elevate labor by fixing a minimum standard of wages. The s3o,ooo,ooo could have been used at an ultimate profit to the state in ways that would have gone far toward establishing wage scale for common labor.
 Certainly there is grievous and vi tai fault in great and wallowingly rich nation where, outside of the care for the mental, moral and physically defsctives, enormous sums must be spent
