Was Painfully Bruised Though Not
Seriously Injured - Horse Was
Killed and Buggy Smashed.

Judge W. s. OBJ. Robinson had a
most narrowing experience a few
days ago. while driving from Colds
boro TO Snow Hill. A special from
Goldsboro to Tuesdays News and
Observer gives the following account
of the danger to which he was ex-
posed and of his miraculous escape:
It is nothing short OF miracle
that Hon. W. S. OBJ. Robinson was
not Instantly killed yesterday morning
in a runaway he had while on his
way to Snow Hill to meet a pro-
fessional engagement. He left the
city at an early hour, driving alone,
and from the start he noticed his
horse was nervous to shy and run,
but he managed to get as far as
Sandstone on his journey, some nine
miles distant, when the animal took
exception a small machine on the
roadside and made a dash, pitching
and kicking at furious rate and
| finally getting down to a headlong
run. The Judges only hope was to
| hold him in the road till he should
gradually be able to take him up,
| but coming down to turn in the
| road, with a deep ditch alongside
that was staked with something like
| picket cattle guards, the wild animal
| in his headlong wheel turned the
buggy upside down and pitched him
self headlong upon the pickets, kill
ing himself instantly, while Judge
Robinson, as the buggy turned and
was smashed into splinters by the
force of the sudden collision, fell IN
| the ditch, and thus only was he saw
ed from instant and shocking death
In his fall his shoulder struck the
opposite ditch bank with all the force
of the fall, and his side was jabbet
by his elbow, but no bones are brok
en-, and but for the soreness ant
shoulder and arm bruise and shock
he would be out, as it is he is con
fined to his bed and may be for some
J days, awaiting the raction. Thos'
, who saw the accident and hastenet
to the scene fully expected to fin
Judge Robinson dead, and no on
was more surprised than himself t.
find himself alive, while the hors
= lay dead and the buggy smashed t
a pieces. He was brought home a
quickly as possible by kind citizens
and is now doing as we'll as could b
desired.

It may be that Ex-Governor Glenn
is after Mr.. Overman's seat in the
Senate, but there is a belief among
many that he would like to serve a
trict while he is waiting for Mr.. Ov-
erman's term to expire. However,
the voters in the Fifth District may
decide to keep a Republican in Con-
gress. In that event, the eX-Gover-
nor would have to- stay away from
the pie counter awhile longer.

THE DISPENSARY GRAFT.

There have been charges and coun-
ter-charges of graft in connection
with Tillman's South Carolina dis
pensary system, but not until the Of
hcials got busy recently was there
any positive proof of the graft and
corruption in connection with that
moral" institution. A Kentucky
salesman while on his sick bed some
days ago told of the rake-ofr that he
had to allow to certain members of
the Dispensary Commission in order
to make the sales for his firm. And
1t seems that the same was true OF
practically every whiskey firm that
made any sales to the dispensary. On
one occasion a whiskey salesman
gave big blowout" to members
of the Dispensary Commission at the
Columbia Hotel which cost his firm
about $500. Some of the heads OF
the various whiskey houses have
been on the stand and admitted that
they had to give the Commissioners q
regular rake-off in order to get the
business. The prosecuting officer
stated that much of the whiskey sold
to the dispensaries was made only OF
potash. spirits of cologne and Other
poisonous ingredients, and was sole
as straight Whistles; in some in
stances at even higher prices thar
good WHISTLES were sold in Other
States. The distillers or wholesaler:
were forced to such measures In or
der to give the grafters their com
mission and still make a profit OF
their goods. Even in cases of sick
ness the South Carolinians were
forced to use this poisonous fluid.
And still this is the kind of "mor
al" institution that the Simmons ma
chine wanted to saddle upon thi
State in order to build up a still
stronger political machine.

THE SUGAR TRUST.

For several days during the past
week the Federal grand jury was
busy investigating the affairs of the
American Sugar Refining Company,
which is known as the Sugar Trust.
From the evidence thus far brought
to light 1t appears that this trust is
lions in existence and has grossly
violated the Sherman antitrust law.
On Tuesday the grand jury adjourn
ed for a few days in order to secure
other Information before proceeding
further. They will meet again in a
few days for a further investigation.

ATTACKING BRYAN'S BANK
GUARANTY.

Another OF Bryan's pet measures, |
the guaranty of bank deposits, seems
to be having a hard road to travel,
where it is travelling at all. We be-
lieve that Nebraska, his home State,
Is about the only State in the Union
that has adopted such a law. Only a
few days ago the National and State
banks of Nebraska have appeared in
Court to ask for an injunction to re-
strain the enforcement of what they
term an unconstitutional law. A
special sent out from Omaha last
Monday says:
"Fifty-two of the National and
State banking houses of Nebraska,
through their attorneys, appeared in
Judge Munger's court to-day to ask
for an injunction to restrain the en-
deposit act passed by the last Leg
islature
| Their petition alleges that the
law is confiscatory in that it appro-
PIRATES the property of depositors of
one bank to liqudate the obligations
of another; that the act is defective
and did not pass the Legislature in
the regular way; that its assessment
sections are so drawn that the
Iamount and number of assessments
lare practically limitless; and that
the entire act is contrary to the spir-
it of the federal constitution. Final
lly, the petition asks that the act be
declared invalid until a showing OF
law and facts can be made"
If the Nebraska bankers win theil
flight, another one of Bryan's hob
bies will go to the wall. During thu
last campaign the Democratic poll
ticians said that such a law would b.
3 a great protection to the bankers a
l we'll as to the people generally. TIL
bankers almost everywhere are op
, lposed to such a law and the peopl
have not been heard clamoring for ii
Though the Democratic platform de
clared strongly in favor Of such
: law, the Democrats did not even in
a troduce such a measure at the las
), session of the Legislature. To tn
lpeople who are afraid of the bank:
the postal savings bank would fl
their needs.

RELIGIOUS SECT WORKSHOPS
SNAKES.
County Attorney Urged to Prosecute
But Says He Cannot.

Hutchinson, Kan, June IAN
appeal has been made here to County
Attorney Helinger to break up re-
ligious sect of snake worshippers, at

are said to have been bitten by pois-
onous reptiles.
The sect has about thirty-three
members, who style themselves "The
True Followers of Christ" The mem
bers say the handling of snakes
without receiving injury is supreme
test of grace.
Township Commissioner Grubbs

urday two women and one child were
bitten, and that the child is in
critical condition. The authorize:
say they are powerless to act unit
death has resulted from the unusua
practice.

Bessemer City Messenger
A friend of this paper says he was
standing on the streets of Shelby,
Webb's home town, when one of the
most prominent citizen Ga Democracy
of Shelby said to him: "How can
you reconcile your vote On the tariff
with your platform and your prom
ises last fall to stand on?" etc. And
that Webb replied that he had to do
1t as free trade would ruin the indus
tries, and that Webb's friend replied:
THAT is just what the Republicans
said last fall and you said they were
liars
And this is just what he did say,
and especially did he beg the farm
ers all to be free traders, when as
the farmers knew themselves, they
could not get living price for the
products of their farms, but for the
fact that such products were bought
by peoples wages made in protected
industries.
