Items from Sangerv.lle.

Sangerville, Aug. 19.-It is quite sea-
sonable here now. The drought of a
few weeks ago cut some vegetables
short, especially the early corn, but
everything now looks fine.
The German Baptists have been hold
ing a most successful revival about five
miles from here on Briery Branch,
conducted by Rev. Abraham Thorn as
of Rockingham. He has conducted
several meetings there and seems to be
a most successful revivalist. Last Sun
day afternoon fifty-two converts were
baptised.
Apples are quite abundant here, and
not much demand for them yet, as no
lyers have put in an appearance.
Corn is looking well and bids fair to
be good crop.

vertised for sale.

Baked at Taft's Religion.

Danville, Va, Aug. 15.-Capt. Will
liam z. Robinson, who for 80 years has
been leader in the Republican party
here and is the Presidential elector
from the Fifth district, came out in a
letter today repudiating Taft and an
nouncing his intention of supporting
Bryan. Captain Robinson gives as his
reason far leaving the party that Taft
is a Unitarian. He says:
"All the money in the world could
not induce me to vote for a man for
President who does not believe in Jesus
Christ"
He speaks of Bryan as being Chris
tan gentleman and appeals to all
Christians to support the commoner.
Captain Robinson was prominently
mentioned for the postmastership here.
He was the leader here of that faction
of the party called the Lily Whites and
was instrumental in having the anti
Lily White delegate seated at the Chi
clgo convention.

Editor Warner DenOunceS Paper
Trust.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 1S.-The Ma
tional Editorial Association today
heard President III. b. Warmers annual
address. He declared that IN spite of
frequent charges of corruption against
the press it was newspaper that first
cried 'stop thief" and was chiefly re-
sponsible for the awakening of the
public conscience. Mr.. Warner severe
ly arraigned the so-called paper trust
by forcing its product upon newspapers
at its own price. 'The paper trust is a
murderer and not a hero" said Presi-
dent Warner. at is a criminal and it's
tendency is to undervalue human life +"
Mr.. Warner urged an active, strong
organization to combat the organiza-
ton and establish the justice of the
newspaper demand. He urged that
they organize on a business basis
through the central direction of the as
ISOLATION.

ferred, although invitation for COM
plants has been extended by the In
terstate commerce commission.
In the circumstances, the early sur
render of this company is particularly
disquieting inasmuch as it will serve to
create grave doubts as to their legal
status among other corporations whose
interests are varied It is idle to blink
at the fact that for a considerable
period conservative observers have
viewed with suspicion and apprehen-
sion much of the legislation which has
been enacted to check combinations OF
capital in the exercise of privileges
which they have come to look upon as
rights. Whether the far-reach1ng
consequences of such legislation have
been duty considered. remains to be
seen. but the embarrassment Of the
company under discussion nearly two
months before the disturbing measure
becomes operative is at least signfl-
cant. 1t certainly tends to support the
contention that. generally speaking
laws supposed to contemplate specific
offences have been so framed as to
make them too sweeping in their ap-
plication. If that fear Is not inbound
ed and the remedy of repeal or amend
ment is denied, the conclusion is forced
that many prosperous enterprises will
be subjected to serious and costly in
terruptions.
