Glenister looked him fairly between
the eyes, gripping himself with firm
hands to stop the tremor he felt In his
bones. "You can't kill me-" he said.
II am too good a man to murder. You
might shoot a crook, but you can't kill
a brave man when he's unarmed.
You're no assassin" He remained
rigid in his chair, however, moving
nothing but his lips, meeting the 9th

had been fixed with the glare of ha-

faintest sign of indecision. Glenister

Following this harangue, he outlined
a plan which in its unique daring took
away their breaths, and as he filled in
detail after detail they frightened with
! excitement and that love Of the long
chance which makes gamblers of those
who thread the silent valleys or tread
the edge of things. His boldness
stirred them and enthusiasm did the
rest.
"All l want for myself" he said, 'is
the chance to run the big risk. It's
mine by right"
Dextry spoke breathlessly to Slap
jack in the pause which ensued:
"Ain't he heller"

to a man. And the chairman added:
Lets have Glenister lead this forlorn
hope. l am willing to stand or fall Oil

firm hands of a natural leader the
young man took control.

saying:

A few more words and Glenister, ac-
companied by these two, slipped out
into the whrllng storm, and half hour
later the rest followed. One by one

Red Tag Day for the Benefit Of
the Goldsboro Hospital a Great
Success.

Though the returns are not yet full y
in, sufficient number Of those who
solicited contributions by the red tags
have reported, to show that the result
surpasses the expectation of the most
sanguine. Already $500 have been re-
ported. and to use a political phrase,
Several precincts are yet to be heard

pital is not to be measured by the
handsome sum of money realized by
this effort of the lady members of the
executive committee, valued as this is,
for the earnest and efficient co-opera-
ton of all classes OF the community
has united our people in the work OF
maintaining the Hospital to an extent
never before realized. It has brought
home to the hearts of the people the
fact that we have Hospital that is
doing very necessary and commenda
BILE work, and that it's maintenance is
largely dependent upon the generous
gifts of the people, and in this effort
the citizens generally have shown thei,
appreciation of their responsibility.

Utica, n. Y, Nov. 8.-Jas. S. Sher-
man, the Republican candidate for
Vice. President, received the election
| returns at his home on upper Green
street, this city, surrounded by a COM
pany of relatives and friends. The
| house was supplied with long distance
| telephone connections and a direct
| telegraph wire cream New York, and
| as the bulletins were read to Mr.. Sher-
| man he was congratulated by those as
sembled.
1t became evident from the start that
| the returns were not surprising to Mr..
Sherman. He said all the time that he
expected the Republicans would win,
and he expressed no surprise as the re-
| turns came Indicating that the State
had gone heavily for the Republican
National ticket. He joked and talked
of mind.
| Congratulations came fiom all Sec
tions early and the telephone wires
| were busy with the messages that were
sent from home and abroad. A large
crowd OF people assem- mbled in the street
in front of Mr.. Sherman's residence
but as bulletins were not shown from
that section of the city, the crow6
thinned out and the street was com
paratively quiet.
"The result of the National election
does not surprise me. For the pas

OUR FIRST FOOTBALL.
1t Went Against GoldSbOro
But our Boys Showed
Elements That Mean
Future Victory.

In the rush of final pre-electiontma m at
Of the first game OF football played in
this city since 1889, which was pulled
eff at Athletic Park on Saturday after
noon between the Goldsboro High
School team and the Wilmington High
School team, in which our boys were
defeated by q score OF 10 to s. But eur
boys showed mettle that means vic
tory in the future.
There was quite crowd out to wit
ness the contest, notwithstanding 1t
was a busy Saturday afternoon In bus
mess circles, and all were proud of the
manner in which the Goldsboro boys
acquitted themselves, showing that
they only need practice to be winners
On any gridiron.
In Saturdays game Wilmington
scored first by a beautiful drop kick
from the 35-yard line by Sshulken.
Then there was NO more scoring in the
first half, the ball remaining in pos
session of Goldsbore.
In the second half by steady line
plunging by Aycock ,Goldsbo carried
the ball over for touchdown, but on
account of . technicality the try at
goal was not allowed, thus making the
score to in favor of Goldsboro.
Soon thereafter Wilmington was
forced to punt and on Goldsboro's fum-
BILE in receiving the punt Emerson for
Wilmington caught the ball on the
bounce, carrying it over for touch
down. Schu1ksn kicked goal, score,

GOVERNOR PATTERSON Of TENNESSEE

The courage and the shrewdnsss Of
Governor Patterson of Tennessee, both
brought to bear promptly, promise to
crush night riding in the south, tor il
is as good as settled that the murderers
of Captain Rankin are to be hanged.
They are in jail, the evidence against
them is complete, and not even the
perversity of petit juries can cheat the
gallows.
Governor Pattsrson's spirit and re-
sourcefulness were more than q match
for the night riders, and the entire
south is indebted to him, deeply in
dsbted. He has crushed night-ridsr-
ism. Imagine what the situation would
have bsen if the murder ct Captain
Rankin had gone unrevengsd Meth
ing was easier. Governor Patterson
could have left the business in the
hands of the sheriff and prosecuting
attorney Of Obion county. He could
have done this, but he did nothing OF
the sort. He abandoned his campaign
work to hurry to the scene of the
crime, and he took into his own ex-
perienced hands the management Of
the entire issue. "It is high time, "
says the New York Evening Post.
with six states affected. and the
possibility of cotton burning on a large
scale this fall, tho south cannet bsccms
too angry that it's name should thus be
tarnishsd. Its business men must real
ize by this time that the threat of such
lawlessness chills, if it does net para
I'VE, their trade, and is another reason
why capital moves So freely to the
north and west and SO slowly south
ward"
However unjust the implied charges
of the Pest may be, they at least show
what a service Govsrnor Patterson hal
rendered, not alens to Tennessee, bu
| to all the other southern states. No
content with the issuance OF proc
Lamation, he secured detectives, ant
he put behind those detectives tn
military arm of his State. He got tn
murderers, and he has in hand evi
donce with which to convict them.
Governor Patterson left his cam
paign for reelection unfinished, bu
the people OF Tennessee will take car
of that. He will be reelected by
