Suit for Malpractice.

WadesboIo, June 4.-The June
term of the Superior Court will be
held next week, beginning Mon
day. and the docket is lengthy.
Judge J. Crawford Biggs, of Dur
ham, will preside. This term is
devoted to OWL business.
One of the most important cases
on the docket, and the one which
will probably occupy the largest
portion of the time Of the court
is the case in which Mrs. Reddle
A. Kiker and her hus band ask
for damages from DR.. t..
Armfeld and DR.. M. Brooks for
malpractice. In her complaint
Mrs. Kiker alleges that the ply
sicians we're called to see her ID
August, 1907, and that because OF
maIplactice her child died and
she underwent great pain and was
IN danger of death. She also
charges that the physicians we're
under the infunce of drugs and
whiskey at the time. The phy-
- sicians who are wellknown practl-
TONERS of Union county, deny the
allegations of the complaint and
contend that they did all that
could be done when called in the
case.
The case is to be hard-fought-
battle and the outcome will ne

LEXINGTON AND DAVIDSON COUNTY,
Some Pointed Reference to our Alleged
Prosperity. Why He was a Socialist.

Prosperity. Why He was a Socialist.
Lexington Dispatch. June 9th.
| The family of Chas. H. Ken
ley has received a check from the
insurance department. of the Jun
ior Order for $500. The incident
calls to mind the fact that this
fraternal organization, through
it's insurance, has done q lot of
good in Lexington.
A citizen who wears a most on
cry beard and a pair of specs was
reading The Appeal to Reason, a
socialist paper that appeals to
anything but reason, and on being
hailed by all acquaintance who
asked him if he was socialist,
he said he was, but that his new
party-he has been a republican
didn't havea leader in Davidson
county.
Gail we lack is a leader" he de-
clared. "The old parties is no
good" he said. ''The republicans
took our bread away and the DEM
Ocrats took the booza -

list?" he was asked.
eyes," he replied. "Any par
ty that takes my ration and lick
er from me won't git my vote No
MORE"
And then he began to arguing
about the Alton steal.
It will be gross injustice t,
make owners of certain alledged
autimobiles in Lexington pay So
registration fee the 1st of Jnly.
but according to law every owner
OF chug-chug must come across
at that time, and pay a dollar q
year to boot. The provision as
to speed however. will not affect
some of the machines; on the con-
trary if a law were passed reguir-
ing them to make five miles an
hour, the owners would most like
ly be arrested for violation of the
law. This town needs some real
devil wagons. Thomasville's got
'em and if Lexington can't place
with the chair town first thing
you know they will be talking
about moving the Courthouse over
there.
A manufacturer, who is getting
the very same price he got for his
goods seven years ago, was talking
with Dispatch man the other day
and gave the following compare.
tive prices Flour, then $3.50 now
1915; meat 6, now IL cents; mix
ing 80, how $3.50; corn S5, now
95 cents per bushel. Meanwhile
wages has increased obout 25 or
80 per cent, Everything that the
orkingman or the manufacturer
has to buy has increased in price,
while the price of labor and of the
manufactured article is almost the
same, especilly the price OF Ia
Dor, for few manufactured arti-
cles have gone up. Our prosperi-
ty-the prosperity we did have
has been entirely one sided. But
! they call 1t prosperity and the re-
publicans are in power and the
tariff Is high and going higher.
Something is wrong in our scheme
Of things when man who made a
dollar a day seven years ago makes
. dollar or dollar and quarter
a-day now aud pays more than
twice what hs paid seven years
ago for his rations. This may be
prosperity but it don't look good
to us.

Lingering Superstitions.

"Will lucky gentlewoman give an
unlucky one tiny mascot to bring
luck?" runs an advertisement in an
English paper. Here was poor soul
for if there is creature on the face
of the earth whose fate calls for pity
it is a gentlewoman who is down
keeping in her poverty some of that
superstition or faith, whatever it may
be called, which is the only thing that
keeps misfortune from crushing the
sufferer. If only she could get the
right charm she might induce fate to
look kindly on her. People call this
a practical age, but evidences of su-
perstition continue to appear. A law
suit not long ago revealed the fact that
an astrologer kept motorcar and had
a fine house, etc. all of which came
out Of the proceeds of zodiacal mag
aZine.

GIVES HIMSELF UP
AS TRAIN ROBBER


Philadelphia, Oct. 20. - Declaring
that his conscience had got the better
of him and that he was tired Of trying
to eVade the law, a neatly dressed
man, who gave his name as Thomas
O'Brien, surrendered himself to the po
lice, saying he was the highwayman
who, single-handed, held up the Penn
sylvania railroad express train in the
wild gorge of the Lewistown Narrows
early on the morning of Aug. 81 last.
The man, after making confession
to Detective Doyle, was locked up
pending hearing.
The manner of the man and the un.
usual method of his surrender have
led the detectives to believe that his
mind is affected or that he is accus.
toned to excessive drinking. He was
careful, before he gave himself up to
the police, to find out if the man to
whom he surrendered, Reserve Police.
man Black, was married. He said that
inasmuch as a large reward had been
offered for his capture he wanted to
give preference to "some man with
family, to whom the money will be OF
some use" OBrien declared his loot
consisted of $100 in pennies.

Intend to Furnish Safe and Honest
Scheme by Which Corporations
Could Escape the Tax.
Wilmington, Del, Oct ga deputy
United States marshal arrested George
w. Dorsey, Jr., and Ernest l.. S. Squire
under the new tariff act, on warrant
issued by United States Attorney
Nields. They are charged with at
tempting to commit an offense against
the United States government by con-
spring to devise a scheme and artifice
to defraud Joseph A. Arnold, of New
York, and dother men, of their proper
ty by falsely representing to them
through letters sent through the mails,
that they would advise safe way
through which all corporations liable
to the new corporation tax would be
made exempt from the payment of
the tax.
The warrant states that the accused
"well knew and understood that they
could and did not intend to furnish a
safe and honest scheme by which the
corporations could escape the tax"
The attention of the government of
f1cials was first called to the scheme
by an advertisement in a New York
newspaper of Sept. last, which read:
Gall corporations are liable to the new
United States tax. Reports due soon;
fine and imprisonment for false re-
ports. Our way makes you exempt, and
is honest and safe. Lawyers Title &
Trust company, Wilmington, Del"
The defendants deny all intentions
to violate the law, or of attempting to
induce others to do so, saying that
their intention was to act as advisers
and accountants in preparing the ne
cessary reports to the government for
the annual fee of $40, and that they
had sent out number of postal cards
to corporations asking for information
to assist them to complete the re-
ports.
They state that their method was
simply, where the charters permitted,
to advise corporations to increase the
number of members in the board of
directors, give them some work to do
and then pay them for their services
in such proportions as would reduce
the net earnings of the corporation to
$4,000 annually. They say this is legal
and that it would render the payment
of the tax unnecessary.
They were held by Magistrate Hast
ings under $4,000 bail for preliminary
hearing next Tuesday.
