A MATTER OF WONDER.
Convicted kudrerer Nominated for Presi-
dent on the Socialist Ticket.

The nominee of the Socialist
Labor party for President-nomi-
mated, by the way, in New York,
last Sundays Martin B. Pres
ton, of Nevada, who is now in the
penitentlary at Goldfed serving
a sentence of TWENTY-FIVE years for
murder. The story is that she
was a picket in a strike there and
trying to prevent girls from serv-
ing as mattresses in a 'scab' or
b%oycotted, restaurant. The pro-
prietor interfered and Preston
shot and killed him." This NOM
nation was, of course, an open
declaration in favor of free
murder, but in order to avoid con-
fusions and injustice it should be
known that this organization is not
the Socialist party proper. Many
law-abiding and good though mis-
guided citizens belong to the
latter.
Again we are reminded of how
free country this is, when a
bady of mon, despising it and it's
institutions, can meet and express
their contempt for law more elo-
quently than they could in words,
by nominating a murderer, and
one in prison for his crime,
for President. 1t does not matter
that they of course have no idea
of his election that he is indeed
under the required presidential
age. The offence is in the mani
~festation and in Haunting the &C.
ton by telegrapling the nominee
(1) and publishing the telegram.
This is anarchism, of course, and
should be a warning to all, as a
new eidence of this balefuI spirit
which is abroad in the land.

tions, by individuals OF parties,
calculated in the least to weaken

STRIKE SITUATION IN ALABAMA.
Troublesome Times and Governor Orders
MaIitia to Birmingham.

While the reports concerning
the strike situation are being
greatly exaggerated, there was suf-
ficent cause for alarm to induce
Govern Cromer to order the mill.
tary of the district to sleep on
their arms tonight and remain ia
readiness for an emergency call.
To-day Governor Cromer to-
gether with Sheriff Higdon and a
number of deputies made an auto
mobile tour of the strike district.
So impressed was the governor
with the seriousness of the strike
situation that on returning to Bir-
mingham three local companies of
militia were ordered under arms.
At the present time, a mixed COM
pany, numbering 100 men, is en-
route for Adamsville, where this
afternoon there took place an en-
gaagement between strike sympa-
thizers and deputies. No anthem
tic report concerning the result of
this engagement has reached the
city although it is known that one
deputy is dead, others wounded,
and that many strike sympathizers
have been arrested. News of this
engagement was followed. by the
instant mobilization of troops,
which are now enroute to Adams
Vile with Maj .Ledbetter in charge.

THE SQUIRE" HAS GONE.
Celebrated Matrimonial KDot Tyer Leaves
for the West,

Everybody sin this section of

of Fort Mill, Sc, and it is possible
that some of the residents of
Rowan have called him for assist.

esquire" has shaken the dust of
tie Palmetto State off his feet
and has migrated to the wild and
woolly west. The following con-
corning this celebrity is from the

That there is retribution in his
tory is attested by the experience
of Squire Willard O, Bales. of
Mill township, South Carolina,
who skipped out for the West, re-
Gently "between the suns" For
years Squire Bales has been one
of the most-talked-of men in the
Carolins by reason of his reputa-

marrying squire" of Yorke
county.
Living just ''across the line'' in
South Carolina he has figured IN
several thousand gretna green af-
fairs. Many a couple has he link
ed together until death do us
part-for better or for worse"
but he never considered nor gave
a moments thought to the re-
sponsibility of his office, Of his
record he was brusqely proud.
Now his time has come, AL
though he could join togetf or
couples ny the hundreds, he could
not control his own household
and hence the trouble. TIL 9 old
Shiek Ilderim in Ben Hur refers
to a king who could rule an en-
pire but could not master his own
horse. Such a man was Squire
Bales. Having said the word
which got many a poor mortal
into trouble, his time came at last
when he himself fell. AS to the
'squire's destination nothing is
known. 1t can safely be said
however that he will do the land

THE BRYAN STEAM-ROLLER

Out in Denver, one of those political
"steam-rollers" is encountering a
rough trip over the Democratic plat
form The planks are loose, the nails
are rusty, and some predict there are
holes ahead large enough to let the
whole machine drop into the depths
of political oblivion. Mr.. Bryan, the
engineer, must himself admit that the
machine Is getting old.
The worst trouble is expected when
the roller meets up with the anti-in-
junction plank Mr.. Gompers, of the
American Federation of Labor, has
convinced the leading democratic can
didate that unions must be recognized
as a privileged class, while other labor
Is to shift for itself. The plank as
approved by Mr.. Bryan embodies the
union idea and will meet with all the
bitter opposition that Colorado, Idaho,
California and half-dozen other
states can muster. The question
might have been handled more shrewd-
ly, from political point of view, I'M
less Mr.. Bryan figures that he can win
those western states on the strength
Of his labor ticket and against his ex-
supporters, the mine operators.
The nomination of Mr.. Bryan is con-
ceded by even his democratic enemies.
The only hope of these men, who rep
resent the conservative policies of gov
eminent, is to so curtail the Bryan
influence on the platform that when
completed, it will be a rational, just
document to submit to the voters.

SUFFERING cUDs!

New York, June 30.-Conjure up
in your mind, II you please, the
spectacle of a dozen bluejackets
lined up in the Brooklyn Navy Yard
gravely mangling between their
jaws hunks of fine cit, plug or
scrap, as the case may be.
Twelve sea fighters have begun
a test, on the result of which will
depend the awarding of a contract
for 100000 pounds of chewing to-
bacco. The solemn conclave will
last a week.
That no chicanery may creep in,
the samples are freed from identi-
fication marks, save numbers, be-
fore being submitted to maceration
by the testers. Although the rules
governing the competition do not
require segregation of the several
judges, it is prescribed that the
chewing judges shall proceed with
their work in silence. The Pay
master will also take a hand in the
chewing in addition to supervising,
but the greatest work will rest
with the patriotic judgment, of the
jack tars.

WARDENS MAY TAKE
Up WORK HERE
Many Complaints of SEEMING
Are Heard.

Deputy fish and game wardens who
at present are located in Rush county
may be summoned to Wayne county.
The sheriff has been told of SEEMING
along Greensboro and it is probable
the state officers will be asked to UNI
dertake an investigation. Greensboro
is one of the best streams in the coun-
ty for fishing purposes and many ex-
cellent catches have been reported.
The hook and line fisherman abhors
the man who makes use of the seine.
He recognizes the unfairness and is
quick to complain to the authorities.
The most of the SEEMING of the small
streams in this county has been done
at night. 1t is claimed that large
quantities of fish have been taken lille
gally. The men who fish with
seines are not the kind who use the
line and are after the fish any way to
get them and do not care for sport.

NEWSPAPER INTEGRITY.

The Indiana newspapers whose sub
serviency to the Fairbanks interests
led them into bitter vilification and
SANDER Of William Howard Taft be-
fore the nomination ARE desperately
urging the excuse that the right hand
knoweth not what the left doeth. The
right hand shove da remarkable lack
of foresight, as we'll as ignorance, and
when the showdown came and the
Fairbanks press bureau went off on
vacation, the machine organs fell to
wondering what had happened.
There is no politics in SANDER, no
justice in libel Any man who as
pires to the office of the president of
the United States is entitled to be
heard, while the press retains the
right to criticise. According to some
Indiana papers, Mr.. Taft was guilty Of
rank conspiracy, treason to the inter
ests of the public, and was entirely I'M
fit for the office he sought. Blindly
they were led into the pit and the
hedging that is now going on is
what strikes at the integrity of the
whole American press. The campaign
for the nomination should be an OBJ
ject lesson not soon forgotten. 1t is
we'll that Mr.. Taft has strength be-
yond the Fairbanks precincts.

HARVEST DAYS ARE
ON IN EARNEST
All Grain Will Probably Be Cut
This Year.

Harvest is on in earnest in this
county and farmers hated to lose the
opportunity to continue the cutting
yesterday because of the rain. The
corn was in need of thorough
drenching, however, and the philo-
sophical ones refused to complain. An
unusually large acreage Of wheat has
been cut when the earliness of the sea-
son is considered. This week will
mark the close of the harvest in near
ly all fields. Most of the rye has
been cut and shocked. Many farm
ers are busy with their clover hay and
these have delayed attacking the
wheat until this week. AS is custo-
mary with early harvests the quality
of the grain promises to be unusually
good.

THE TELEPHONE CONSOLIDATION

The business consolidation of the
