ALBEMARLE AND STANLY COUNTY.
VIII Oranize New Church. Show About
the Worst Ever"
stanly Enterprise, Oct. 18th.

| s"S pSoA
stanly Enterprise, Oct 18th.
J. M. Peeler, cashier of th'
Stanly County Loan and Trus'
Company spent Sunday in Sails
bury at the bedside of his brother
Jenkins Peeler, teller of the Peo
ple's National Bank. who hai
teen confined to his bed with
diabetes.
Presiding Elder A. W. Plylel
preached an excellent sermon
Sunday morning in the Methodist
church, it being the occasion oil
the last quarterly conference fol
the year. The financial report OF
the stewards on Monday gave an
excellent showing.
It is gratifying to the board and
patrons of the graded school that
no mistake has been made in the
selection of superintendent and
faculty, and that it is already ap-
parent that the standard of the
school will be raised. Under Su-
perindent Scott, it may be expect
ed that students will find it less
hard to enter college after finish
ing the course here.
A commission of ministers and
ruling elders, appointed by Neck
lenburg Presbytery, will meet on
next Saturday, October II, for
the pupose of organizing the
church at Porter. There will be
all day services with dinner.
Rev. 6. F. Robertson will preach
at II o'clock, and Rev. J. E. Ber-
ryhill in the afternoon. The
members will be duly enrolled,
and the elders and deacons
elected.
The show in Albemarle last week
was the worst in some respects
that ever struck town All sorts
of "skin games" we're worked, and
there were quite q number of our
folks who were taken in, losing in
sums varying from one to one
hundred and forty dollars. Some
one will say that fellow who
bites at such games deserves no
sympathy; and they do not. But
at the same time you feel sorry
for the fellow who has played the
fool in this way, and that our
community has been visited by
such sharks. The show crowd de-
liberately stole money from lot
IN manipulating change, and it
was unfortunate that our authori-
ties did not give the matter atten-
tion earlier in the day.

Where Bullets Flew,

David Parker, of Fayette, N. Y,
a veteran of the civil war, who lost
a foot at Gettysburg, says: 'The

WILL SUPPORT The ENTIRE TICKET.
The Democratic Wing Of the Anti Saloon
League Decide Accordingly.

| League Decide Accordingly.
| Probably the most magnani
nous thing that has been done II
Rowan county for many long
years, was the recent action of tn,
Democratic wing of the Anti-Sa
loon League in deciding to vott
lsolidly, and without scratching
lthe Democratic ticket as nomlnat
ed. When we take into consider
alton the facts connected with
this matter it seems almost in
credltable that mon would 80 will
llngly and cheerfully do such 6
thing. The Anti-Saloon League
was victorious in the fight and had
the right and power to put out a
ticket of it's own, but being true
to it's declarations, that it was
non-political, it accepts and agrees
to vote for ticket largely COM
posed of it's former opponents.
This is true whether a man votes
for either the Republican or Demo-
cratic tickets as whole. The re-
publicans, how'aver, seems to be
giving the whiskey men consider
able encouragement. and, in turn,
a number of the whiskey dealers
and those they can influence seem
inclined to vote the Republican
ticket.
Taus it is we say the Dem.
ocratic wing of the Anti.Saloon
League is conducting itself in a
most magnanimous manner.
There is DO sulking, no faltering
and no change Of conviction with
then. They have determined to
do that which is right, as they see
it, to the fullest extent. They be.
lieve in majority rule, as do all
good citizens, and will abide by
the result at all times.
The resolutions are as follows:
To the Democracy of Rowan
County:
The Democratic wing of the
Anti-Saloon League of Rowan
County desires to urge upon every
Democrat in the county to support
the nominees and do all in their
power for their election.
During the recent prohibition
campaign, the speakers and work
ers for that cause. regardless of
political faith, declared from
every stump the temperance move
ment to be a strictly moral and
non-political issue. They kept
the faith, l'y going, as usual, into
their respective primaries and con.
ventions and nominating their
usual tickets without making the
slightest effort to put a temper
ance ticket in the field.
Again, having gone into their
respective primaries and conven-
tions in good faith, these prohlbi-
ton Democrats are standing by
the nominees of their party and
there will be no "scratching'' done
by them.
This appeal is therefore made tc
urge our Democracy to unite and
present solid front to our politi.
cal opponents and roll up the us.
ual large majority in Rowan fol
the entire Democratic ticket.
This action is taken in order
that, If there should be falling
off in the Democratic majority in
this comfy, the blame will not
attach to us.

Most farmers would rather trade
with the local merchants than
send off for goods if they can get
what they want and at something
near the same price, but the busi-
| ness of the mail order houses is
growing and will continue to grow
until the local merchants wake
up to the fact that they must
keep in stock what they want and
sell at a price that will not exceed
that of mail order house with
the freight added. Merchants
who make a "bid" for business
by keeping the right kind of stock
and letting the people know it
through the advertising columns
of the local paper are reasonably
sure of prosperity.

Court at Greensboro last Friday,

AN INTERESTING OCCASION.
Daughters Of the King Hold Their Annual
Meeting in Salisbury.


The Daughters of the King helt
their annual meeting in this city
last Wednesday, the business ses
sion being held in the chapter
house of St. Luke's Episcopa
church. The members of this or
ganization constitute conse.
Grated band of workers whose aim
it is to accomplish something fol
the cause they love SO we'll. They
are energetic, earnest and exert
a powerful infuer CO for good.
| But their mission and how they
endeavor to fulfil it is too we'll
known to call for extended COM
ment here. They believe, how
ever, that while there may be SER
vice without love. there can be no
genuine love for the Master and
his cause without service, or at
least a strong desire for service,
and this noble band of christian
women serve and serve faithfully.
In the morning at 11:3O there
was celebration of the Holy
Communion at which Rev. f. J..
Murdoch, D. D., oficiated. Bish-
op Cheshire, who came here for
the purpose, made the Daughters
a very inspiring address After
the service in the church those
present adjourned to the chapter
house where an interesting session
YVES held
Miss Carrie Roberts, the State
President called the nesting 70
order. Delegates were present
from Charlotte, Concord and Sal
isbury. Papers pertaining to the
work and progress of the organi-
zation were received by Miss Rob-
erts. Mrs. Harris Mallinck-odt,
of Charlotte, Mrs. Mamie Linton,
Mrs. Paul B. Means. Miss Emma
Hall, of Concord, and others. The
charge was given to the delegates
by Rev. F. J. Murdoch, in an
earnest, impressive ard helpful
way peculiarly his own.
Il was disappointment that
owing to illness, Rev. Harris NAL
liuckrodt, of Charlotte, who was
to have made an address, could
not be present.
At tbs close of the usual busi-
ness session an election of officers
was held and the present officers
were reelected unanimously.
Later, reception was held fat
the beautiful home of DR.. and
Mrs. Murdoch, from about 6
O'Clock to Z AS, the visitors hav-
ing to leave on the early train for
theiE homes. The rooms thrown
open to the guests we're beauti-
fully decorated with flowers, white
roses and golden rods predominant
ing. In the dining room where
a delicious repast was served, the
spacious apartment was radiant
with light, which, falling upon
and ref 7cting the colors of the Or
ganizantion, blue and white, made
a most beautiful and artistic eff
feet.
The day was certainly one of
both pleasure and profit to all
concerned. The members of the
Salisbury organization certainly
left nothing undone which might
contribute in greater degree to
the pleasure of the visitors and
the latter proceeded homewa1d
followed by the prayers and good
wishes of those who had been
host and hostess to them.

statesville Landmark. Oct. 18th.
Supt. Meacham, of the State
Farm. will have ar exhibit of hor-
ses, cattle and products of the
farm at the Yadkin Valley Fair
at Salisbury, which embraces next
week. This fair advertises manv
attractions and will doubtless be
literally patronized by Iredell
folks.
Lieut.. W. S. Sinclair, of Char
lotte, was here yesterday and &C.
cepted three recruits for the lnfan-
try branch of the United States
army who had applied to the 10.
cal recruiting officer, Sergt. Gill
bert, for service in the army. The
recruits are Messrs. Luther, Levi
and Benjamin Chapman, of Ashe-
ford. Lew and Benjamin are twin
brothers and Luther is a cousin of
the twins. They will leave this
morning for Columbus barracks,
Ohio, for training.
N. P. Watt exhibited at The
Landmark Office yesterday stalk
of corn grown OH his lot in town
from "Texas June' seed. The
stalk was 163 feet high, too tall to
get inside the house, and contain-
ed two ears which were 13 feet
from the ground. The top of the
stalk was broken during it's
growth. But for this it is believed
that two or three feet would have
been added to the length.
DR.. R. A. Bass, veterinarian,
went to Mooresville last week and
tested for tuberculosis a herd of
cattle belonging to S. A. Low
rance. Mr.. Lowrance had sold
fine milch COW to New Jersey par
ties and before shipping her it was
necessary to have the tuberculosis
test applied. DR.. Bass found the
herd free from tuberculosis.
A week ago yesterday afternoon
Lacy Morrison shot and killed
blue and speckled female hound
ID Shiloh township. The dog is
supposed to have been mad, as she
bit pup just before she was shot
and had bitten another dog or
two before that. The deg was
shot first without effect. Later
she was shot and was not killed
nor seemed to pay particular at
tention to the molestation. FL
nally Mr.. Morrison succeeded in
Staying the dogs with rocks. 1t is
not known just how many dogs
were bitten but others have been
reported.
II. G. Ham, an insane man of
Sharpesburg township, was lodged
in Jail Sunday afternoon for safe
keeping. An effort will be made
to have him placed in the State
Hospital at Morganton. While
Ham is mentally unbalanced he is
not dangerous; but he is a great
burden to his people, who are un-
able to keep him at home. He
has mania for bathing in the
streams and every time he could
get away from the house he would
go to the creek and Ego in-a-wash-
in. " Twice during the forenoon
Saturday he was found in a creek
near his home. It was feared that
he would get in deep water some-
time and be drowned and his peo-
pie decided to have him placed in
jail until there is room for him at
the State Hospital.

Find Some Market.

Find Some Market.
Lexington Dispatch. Oct. 18th.
John @. Finch has been catch
ing a large number of big cells al
the old Finch mill place during
the last few nights, and those who
love this sort of meat have had an
opportunity of getting all they
wanted. Monday the fisherman
fetched load t.. town, in it being
two big fellows 21 feet long and
weighing four pounds.
Lindsay Conrad says THAT W.
B. Hammer is in error as to the
ovr ership of the revolutionary
powder mill, located en- the Darr
land couple f miles above town,
near the Southern main line. Mr.
Hammer had the idea that an old
man named Fritts owned the mill
which supplied powder to the ar
mics of Washington. Mr.. Conrad
says the owner was named Darr,
an ancestor Of his.
As usual several people were
cheated cut of their money when
the circus was here last week. R.
O. Kirkland presented 500 bill
to reserve seat barker, who ham
ded him back the correct change,
but asked to count it again ''to
see if it was right!" and By slick
work subtracted two SIS bills and
his victim, confident that the
change was correct, did not count
it again till he got home, when
he missed the ten. Going back
to the show he explained to the
manager and received his money.
A young man named Crotts says a
Snowman asked him to give large
bills for small ones, he accomodat-
ed him and is $65 short. His
father, Frank Crotts, lost $40.
Saturday J. M. Harkey shot
hawk that measured d three feet
from tip to tip, while it was in the
act of eating a small chicken i'll
the yard of Lindsay Smith. The
hawk had swooped down in the
yard and seized the chickeD, and
then perched Oh the henhouse 20
make his meal, when he was put
out of business. This explains
the mysterious disappearance of a
number of Mr.. Smiths young
fowls. It is unusual for hawk
to enter town thus boldly.
A Jubilee farmer says that one
of his neighbors, while IN town re-
Gently. was offered a good price
for the horse he was driving, and
took the man up. This left him
with harness and buggy but no
horse. He managed to use horse
as far as Tyro, and it is said he
then pulled the buggy home HIM
self-six miles.
Started as joke, rumor has
gained wide circulation that the
Rev. Jos. T. Watts, pastor Of the
First Baptist church of Lexington,
prayed for rain on the occasion of
the coming of John Robinson's
circus to this place, and like ru-
mors some times are treated, this
one has been added to and talke1
until some people actually believe
that it IS true. While fattered
that anyone should think he has
snch influence with the Almighty,
Mr.. Watts disclaims having pc
titioned for the flood which fol-
lowed the coming and precipltate
going Of the circus. A few have
actually blamed him with the de-
structisn of crops. Occasionally
one is astour ded by the credulity
Of mortals. It is time to drop the
circus joke on the minister.
