Accounts Must be Approved.

According to a notice Dispensary
Auditor West sent to county dispen-
sary boards those boards in counties
making payments for whiskey or di-
viding profits or paying out anything
except for strictly current expenses
are liable to get in trouble. These
accounts must first be approved by
Mr.. West.
The notice reads:
Gentlemen: This is to give you
notice that under section 2 Of an act
of the general assembly, 1909, pro-
viding for the closing of the several
dispensaries in those counties voting
against sale, that no claims are to be
paid by you until same have been
audited, approved and ordered paid
by the State .dispensary auditor.
This, of course, does not include nor
prevent the payment Of the current
expenses incident to closing up the
business, but does include such items
as may be due thes whiskey houses
with which you do business, any un-
paid profits and amounts that you
may owe banks on notes or for bor-
rowed money. 1t is expected that all
county dispensary dispensary boards
will adhere strictly to the provisions
of this act, and any violation Of same
will be reported promptly for the
reason that it would in all probabil-
ity give rise to complications and
furnish ground for suits and litiga-
tionS"

FEAR FURTHER RIOTS.
Believed That Hucks-COX-Davis Bat
tie Will Cause More BlOOdshed.

tie Will Cause More BlOOQSneu.
Charlotte, N. c., August 22.-With
the announcement tonight that
Charles Cox was slowly bleeding to
death and would probably number
the second victim, the arrest of Ed.
Cox and the verdict of the coroner's
jury fastening the death of Reece
Hucks upon him, developments in
the street fight at Huntersville, this
county, last night, in which one man
was killed and five others seriously
shot and cut, came thick and fast to-
day. Charles Cox was one Of the
principals to the feud fight and faith
er of the young man who shot Reece
Hucks to death. Physicians have been
unable thus far to staunch the flow
of blood from his numerous wounds.
The coroner's jury held that Ed. Cox
did the shooting and Sheriff Wallace
has landed him in the Mecklenburg
Jail. He has already engaged coun-
sci, and will plead self-defense.
Charles Cox, Jr., Lester Hucks, Bate
and Gilreath Davis, the other princi-
pals to the riot, are expected to re-
cover. Opinion is prevalent tonight
that the trouble is not over. The
family connection on both sides is
large and the results of last nights
clash are far from satisfactory to
either side.
The funeral of Reece Hucks took
place to-day at the homestead, seven
miles from Charlotte.

South Carolinian Fights Lynx.

Lowell, Ohio, Aug. 23.-WilIiam
Smith, a South Carolina hunter, show
ed his bravery when, armed with a
big knife, he crawled yesterday into
den of lynx near here and killed
the leader of the band. The battle
lasted three hours. The lynx was
six feet in length.
For several months the lynx has
been terror to the community.
They have killed stock and attacked
people. Their den was in wild,
rocky ravine and none dared attempt
to rout them. Smith organized a
posse to help him fight the animals,
but he had barely got inside the den
when the posse, frightened at the
growls of the animals, fed in terror.
The battle was fought in darkness
and the den was so small that Smith
was unable to stand erect.

Charges Messenger with Theft.

Charlotte, N. c., Aug. 22.-George
P. Turner, a messenger for the
Southern Express Company, was ar
rested at Salisbury to-day, charged
with the robbery of money from car
in transit. Turner's run was be-
tween Salisbury and Asheville, and
it is alleged that several days ago he
dropped a sack containing something
like $4,000 from the car as the train
neared Salisbury. He is alleged to
have returned to the spot, secured
the money and hiked out to South
Carolina. To-day he returned to Sal
isbury and was Immediately arrested
on a warrant sworn out by an official
of the company. Officials of the COM
pany are reluctant to talk as to the
robbery.

Race Suicide q Blessing.

Once more DR.. Woods Hutchinson
has come to the rescue of our much
abused civilization. In September
Woman's Home Companion, he
points out that not only are all wrong
about the .race-suicide problem, but
there isn't any.
According to Doctor Hutchinson,
the whole question is befogged by
misconceptions. He says the question
is not a new one, but is very old. An
increasing population is sign OF
civilization. AS for our immediate
forefathers, they can claim no credit
for large families, for they either
gave no thought to the question at
all, or else welcomed children as fu-
ture bread-winners.
tTo sum up" he says, 81 believe
that the evidence is conclusive that
race suicide, so far as it has yet gone,
has proved an almost unmixed bless
ing instead of a curse; that the race
can never again return to the method
of blind and wholesale reproduction
without thought of the future. No
class or group in the community
which believes itself worthy to exist
can of course view with equanimity
any proposal to limit the offspring
Of marriage to less than three, or
such number as may be necessary to
secure the survival of that quota to
adult age, so that the second genera
ton may be at least trifle more nu-
merous than the first.
ION the other hand, biologic NOR
ality, while deprecating the produc-
tion of children, who are likely to be
born unfit, or become 50 from lack
of proper support and training, glo-
rifles and exalts as both the highest
racial duty and the most precious in
dividual privilege the bearing of chill
dren by those who are personally fit
to bear and financially competent to
rear as will be of value to the State.
There is no achievement better worth
living for, no more valuable legacy
that can be left to the future, no
more enduring claim to honorable re-
membrance, than a family of we'll
born, well-reared children.
"At the same time there is grow
ing tendency to encourage and pro-
mote in every possible way the mar
riage at a reasonably early age of
young people, who are particularly
desirable as future ancestors, to use
Hibernicism. Some day possibly
we may become sufficiently intelli-
gent to endow this sort of matrimony
with State funds. At all events, an
intelligent direction Of race fertility,
by selection of parents and rational
limitation of the number Of children,
will be the path of future progress. "

FEUDISTS FIGHT.
Fiercest Battle in County's History
Costs Blood.

Charlotte, y. c., August 21.-As
the result of one of the fiercest feud
fights in the history of Mecklenburg
county at Huntersville tonight
Reece Hucks, prominent young
farmer, of Croft, lies dead at ST.
Peters hospital; Lester Hucks, a
brother, Charles Cox and Gilreath
and Bate Davis, neighbors and sub
stantial farmers, are seriously cut
and shot, and several others slight
ly wounded.
The fight took place on the main
street of Huntersville in front of the
postoffice and was witnessed by a
large throng, events transpiring so
quickly that bystanders could not in
terfere in time to prevent the car
mage. For year there has been bad
blood between the Hucks brothers
and the Coxes growing out of the
shooting of dog belonging to Bate
Davis, a friend of the Hucks broth
ers, by Charles Cox. Members and
friends of both families attended the
Farmers institute at Huntersville
and Bate Davis and Charles Cox met
in front of the postofice and renewed
the trouble over the dog. Cox was
getting the better of the fight when
the Hucks brothers appeared and in
terfered. This brought the Cox fac
ton into the row, which became gen.
eral. Ed. Cox is said to have done
all the shooting, putting three bullets
into Reece Hucks, who died a half
hour after being transferred to the
Charlotte hospital, shooting Lester
Hucks in the back and his brother
Charles, by mistake, in the arm.
Knives were freely used by the COM
batants and blood flowed freely, the
services of all three physicians in the
village being necessary to treat the
wounded.
The Hucks brothers were brought
to Charlotte and the rest of the
wounded are being cared for at Hunt
ersville. After receiving his death
wound Reece Hucks arose from the
ground where he had fallen and,
grasping a chair, felled his assailant,
Ed. Cox, with it, seriously injuring
him. No arrests have been made to-
night, the parties to the fight who
are able to move having made no ei-
fort to escape.
