Cumberland's Sheriff Gets a
Liquor Still of Historic Inter-

est.
Fayetteville Correspondence, News and Observer
May 30.
Sheriff Watson last week cap
tured, near Hope Mills, a whis-
key still that was once 'cut in
two" by Robert Burns, the great
poet, who was at that time a
whiskey gauger in Scotland. 1t
will be news to many that Rob
bic" Burns was a member of the
Pie Brigade" but this does
not necessarily mean that he
was a Republican, nor does the
fact that he "cut" a whiskey
still ''in two" signify that he
was prohibitionist, or a Carrie
Nation.
The still was afterwards
brought to this country by a
Scotch settler and passed from
one to another of his descend
ants, till some years ago, when
it was stolen. Since then the
still was unheard of until it was
captured a few days ago by Sher-
if Watson, in celebration of the
compliment paid him by Gov
ernor Glenn, who declared in his
speech here on Thursday that
Cumberland had 'the best sher.
if in North Carolina.
The following sketch of this
still appeared in the Cape Feal
Shuttle of Hope Mills:
Sheriff Watson gave to :;

which he has just cleaned from

Lies Sunshine.
BY VAN TWILLER
For The Robesonian.

WnaC SnOQlQ 90 Whlle i've!
Who can tell me the end of my day?
The gift to the world should give?
Why should l give to the world all my
woe?
Why should l give it my grief?
Leave but regrets on my path when
go
To the place of eternal relief.
No, l shall always be happy and glad,
Ever make others the same;
Bury the things that make men so sad,
Leave gay word and glad name
There was man of the olden
time called the Philosopher of
the Tub. Alexander, the great
general, sought the presence of
this quaint teacher. The general
standing between Diogenes and
the sun said to him, What can l
do for you"? please get out of
my sunshine", replied the philos-
opher.
Keep all men out of your sun
shine. Do not permit that old
flatfooted "abdomanic", cock
roach, or that disappointed old
maid who has faithfully en-
deavored to capture every man
she ever saw, and failed in
every instance, cast a shadow
athWart your path, or come be-
tween you and Gods sunshine.
Everybody ought to take a good
bath in Gods great ocean of
myrth three times a day. O, it
is such a good cure for cares,
and concern, fretting and fun
ing, annoyances and anxieties,
vexations and worries, stews and
blues, sorrows and troubles, sulks
and dumps, long faces and ole
maids wrinkles.
Just take the oil of gladness
and let it scour off the rus
Of life, and let your face shine
with a heavenly light. The fret
and worries which put friction
; on life's machinery kill mor'
f people every year than tn

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

HOT SPRINGS, Va, July 12.-Judge
Taft will begin the dictation of his
speech of acceptance tomorrow morn
ing. He will spend the entire week at
it and will receive no visitors. That
length of time is not to be devoted to
writing the speech. but, as he said to-
day, ITO make it short enough"
II found in my experience on the
bench" he continued, that it was
easier to write a long opinion than to
put the same argument in fewer words.
The speech should be short. and. ap-
proach the task with a feeling that
saying what 1 want to say in COMPARE
lively brief space will be hard work"
Taft has decided upon, what he wants
to say. He completed. the outline of, his
speech today. 1t will make the over
shadowing issue destruction, versus
good government.
The speech will begin with a review
of the history of the republican party
and the vindication of it's principles in
the general prosperity which their ap-
plication has. brought. He will refer
also to the proof of the integrity of
the party as seen in the fulfllment Of
its promises. He will parallel this with
a review OF the past democratic plat
forms, policies and promises, with. a
summing up which will indict. them.
especially as reviewed in the light &of
the leadership of Bryan. This leader
ship he will say has been populistic,
socialistic, demagogic. and revolution

FIVE PERSONS LOSE LIVES
DURING SEVERE STORM
Fierce Wind Sweeps the Harbor
of Baltimore With Fatal
Results

BALTIMORE, July 12.-Five men are
known to have been drowned and three
women and q man are believed to have
met a like fate this evening when a
very severe wind and rain storm passed
over the harbor of this city. Eight
men in a rowboat were endeavoring
to reach Fort McHenry when one of
them, Peter Dietrich, terrified by the
storm, while attempting to leap over
board, upset the boat. He, William
Delacour, Joseph Lohmiller and Edward
Simmons were drowned. The others
righted the boat and reached the fort
safely.
The overturning of a boat in the
Spring Gardens brought death by
drowning to John Harringt ton.
The finding of an overturned row.
boat in the Patapsco river in which
three women and a man were seen
shortly before the storm leads to the
belief that all four were drowned. A
woman's hat was found in this. boat,
with another floating nearby. None of
the bodies have been recovered.

SHARK KILLS WHALE IN
BATTLE NEAR THE SHORE
Thousands Look on While Mon
sters of Deep Fight to
the Death

Before the tremendous Sunday con-
course which crowded the ocean beach
yesterday, a huge whale and a savage
shark battled to the death, and the
duel became so sanguinary that the
foam which gathered about the seal
rocks was f1ecked with crimson. The
denizens of the deep fought all after
noon and when the sun set on the scene
of battle, the dead body of the levia-
than f1oated ashore, leaving the deadly
shark master of the waters.
The day was perfectly clear and the
watchers on shore had a splendid view
of the spectacular contest, and with
glasses the details of the battle could
be followed with ease. The whale was
observed early in the afternoon by the
lookout of the life saving station, and
as he seemed to be trying to escape
from something, the most powerful
glasses were turned on him with the
result that the thrasher was discovered
in close pursuit.
Suddenly the thrasher leaped far into
the air and when he landed pierced
the side of his clumsy enemy with his
cruel swordlike tail. This maneuver
was repeated time after time and the
water was soon dyed with the blood of
the stricken whale, which seemed to-
tally unable to defend itself from the
terrible attacks of his relentless adyer-
sary. Apparently satisfied with his
work, the thrasher did not accompany
the body of his victim to the shore
