Assassination of Mayor Newberry.

wilmington Star.
The assassination of Mayor Y. B.
NeWherry, of Newport, Carteret coun-
ty last Saturday night, was a most
cold blooded and deplorable affair.
The bloody deed was committed al
most at the door of his home, and his
small daughter was almost immedi-
ately at the body of her father, who
was shot in the back of his head with
load of buckshot which killed him
instantly. His wife was sick in bed
an1 only two small children were the
other members of his Mortified family.
There is melancholy satisfaction in
tie strong probability that his MUIR
derers were captured. At least two
white men who were recently among
number whose arrest for violating
the prohibition laws was brought
about by the murdered mayor. There
was the motive, but there is an ugly
aspect to the affair in the statement
sent out from the scene of the murder
that Mayor Newberry, who is also
chairman of the board of county COM
HlSSloHeIS, Hdu employeu negro ueCec-
tives to run down blind tigers kept
by white men.
While that will not lessen the law
lessness of the violators of the liquor
law, nor minimize the Nervousness Of
their awful deed, the fact that negroes
were employed as sleuths was calcu-
lated to stir up bad blood. 1t may be
justifable, but it is bad judgment in
view of the fact that it aroused q
spirit that otherwise might not have
been of such tragic consequence.

proven clearly on the men suspected.

THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH.
Why Seek the Pole When the Zuni
Indians Have the "Axis"?

Washington, Y D. c., Oct. 20.-Why all
this fuss and controversy as to wheth-
er it was Cook or Peary, ar either of
them, or both, that discovered the
north pole? Surely the centre of the
earth is as important as either extrem-
ity, and the Zuni Indians have the
centre safely corraled and appropri-
They feel quite sure of it, and that
ought to be sufficient.
In the Zuni cosmogony the earth is
conceived of as fiat and shaped like a
pancake. Being a. chosen people of
the gods, they We're commanded early
in their tribal career to go to the ex-
act centre of the world and there
build their homes; and one of the
nCst interesting legends Of the people
relates the story of their wander1ngs
tells how they knew it when they
reached it. 1t is about 200 yards south
IF their village. in Western New Mex
leo, thirty-fve miles south of Gallup
on. the Santa Fe route. 1t is marked
ny a crude shrine, built like a bake
oven, out of fat stones. Two large
removable fagstones close the en-
trance, which faces the rising sun. On
the top are number of concretionary
formations, known to the Indians as
thunder stones"
In the interior are large numbers
of feather tufted prayer sticks and
several earthenware vessels filled with
sacred meal. Numerous ceremonial
dances, in the nature of rain making
rites, are performed around this holy
place.
| In thus conceiving of the centre Of
| the EARTH as close to their OWL
hearthstones the Zunis differ little
from their white brethren. Although
not so frank in expressing their con
viction, most white men are profound
lily convinced that the real pivota
point of terrestrial creation coincide'
with the centre of their own Interest,"
and affections.

SPLITTING NUISANCE.
Hawking and Splitting Is Caused by
Catarrh Germs.

If the local authorities want to stop
the disgusting habit of splitting mu
cous on the sidewalks, they had bet
ter instruct the people as to the best
methods of killing the catarrch germs
and curing catarrh.
You can easily tell by reading the
symptoms below whether you have ca
tarrh or not:
Offensive breath, frequent sneezing,
discharge from nose, stoppage of the
nose, huskiness of the voice, tickling
in throat, droppings in throat, a
cough, pain in chest, loss of strength,
variable appetite, spasms of cough
| ing, low spirited at times, raising of
mucous, difficulty in breathing, loss
of vital force.
J. H. Hill & Son have a sensible
remedy (money back if it fails) for
catarrh, called Hyomei, which is a
vaporized air SO antiseptic that when
| it is breathed over the inf1amed and
/ germ-infested membrane, it kills all
| germ life and cures catarrh.
The price, including hard rubber in
haler, is only $1.00, and money back
if it doesn't cure. Extra bottles, 81
cents.
! "I have tried a1msot every catarrf
cure on the market without benefit
Have been using Hyomei for ONT
week and feel like a new man al
ready.''-Wm. v. Goode, Newark
Ohio, June 21, 1909.

Down the Mississippi.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 1S.-Sena-
tor Simmons arrived in Washington
today from Europe, where he went i'm
mediately following the adjournment
of Congress with the national water
ways commission, of which he is a
member The commission will not ar
rive until Wednesday. Senator Sim
mons was anxious to get back home,
and both he and Senator Gallinger
left the other members of the party
several days ahead of schedule time.
They reached New York yesterday on
the ST. Louis. Senator Simmons is in
fine health and seems to have profited
as the result of his two months stay
abroad.
The commission inspected the i'm
portant navigable streams of Europe.
This was a big task in itself and af-
forded little time for sightseeing. The
trip gave unusual opportunity for
study and observation of water trans
portation problems, which will be of
great value and service to Senator
Simmons as a member of the Senate
commerce committee, which has to do
with all river and harbor matters in
this country.
The North Carolina senator said he
could not discuss the conclusions
reached by the commission, which
will not be announced until the re-
turn of all the members.
Early in November the members of
the commission will assemble in St.
Paul and make the trip down the
Mississippi to New Orleans. A full
report will be made to the coming
Congress. Senator Simmons says
there is no country in Europe that
compares to North Carolina, and he
took the first train this afternoon for
New Bern, where he will join Mrs.
Simmons and the members of his fam
lily.

Gathering.
Years Work i'm Ranks of the Daugh-

Branch Stone Is HOnOred
Monument Unveiled.

Houston, Tex, Oct. 19-With that
same spirit that made possible the ac-
complishment of that MAGNIFICENT
achievement during the dreary days
between 1861 and 1865, women of the
Southland, who revere the memories
of the men and women of that period
many of them actual participants in
the scenes not chronicled in history
assembled in Houston today for the
purpose of reviewing the work of the
year in the ranks of the United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy.
A heavy rain during the night broke
down much of the mass of flags and
bunting displayed over the city in well
come to the Daughters, but it did not
dampen the spirits of the more than
200 delegates who gathered from thir-
ty-two states to attend the opening
general session of the sixteenth an
nual convention.
The session began with addresses
of welcome by the city officials and
by Tax Commissioner Dashiell, on be-
half of Governor Campbell, who was
unable to be present. The day was
given over to social features, inter-
spersed with little business routine
Reports of officers will be submitted
tomorrow
A beautiful feature of the day was
the presentation to Mrs. Cornelia
Branch Stone, of Galveston, the pres
ident-general, of a magnificent presi-
dent-general's jewel, the pendant star
being set with diamonds. Following
this, huge bouquet of flowers was
brought to the platform, tokens of the
love of the Daughters for their presi-
dent-general. Soon the plain platform
was turned into bower of flowers
and color.
The afternoon session the report of
the committee on credentials was
read, which was marked by the alb
sence Of any contest.
The feature of the day proved to
be the unveiling in the afternoon of
the monument to Terry's Texas Rang
ers, 1s61-65, Erected by e. Bennett
Bate Auxiliary to the Oran NJ. Roberts
Chapter United Daughters of the Con-
federacy, October 10, 1902
The speakers were Mrs. Corne1ia

Miss Kate Daffin.
A keen contest has developed for
the Office of president-general with six
candidates in the field. Texas will
not ask for the reelection of Mrs.
Stone.
Virginia was the first state to make
a bid for the next convention, the city
of Richmond asking for the honor.
Little Rock and Wilmington, N c.. are
also after the next convention.

Governor Kitchin delivered the op-

siastically. The exhibits and midway
features are of surprising excellence
and the outlook is most auspicious.
The agricultural and livestock ex-

extensive and a number of manufac-
turing plants the State over have ex-

BOILER PLATES HAVE BEEN
-. MADE FOR NEARLY CENTURY
Coatesville, Pa, Will Celebrate Next
Year the Hundredth Anniversary
of the Industry.

| Coatesville, Pa, Oct. 2O.-J. M. Dun
can, president of the Coatesville Busi
ness Mems Association, and fellow
members are already making bis
preparations for the celebration mex
year of the one hundredth anniversary
of the first boiler plate rolled in
America, which was made here in
1910. While the date of the event
which will be held in the form of an
old home week, has not yet been an
nounced, the month of September is
mentioned by members, who are look
onstrations ever held in the county. =
The early history of the iron and
steel business in Coatesville is replete
with matters of supreme interest to all
who love to trace early achievements.
Great, for example, has been the de-
velopment of the iron and steel busi-
ness in Coatesville.
In the early part of the last century
Isaac Pennock left the farm and en-
gagged in the manufacture of plate in
a swamill was erected on Brandywine
Creek, a short distance south of the
pike, now Coatesville, and in 1910
Isaac Pennoek bought that mill and
had it converted into an iron plant
In 1916 his son-in-law, DR.. Charles
Lukens, took charge of the Coatesville
works, which were then known as the
Brandywine Mills (now Lukens Iron
and Steel Company's plant).
DR.. Lukens conducted the mills un-
til 1925, when he died. He was the
first person in this country to manu-
facture boiler plates. After his death
his widow, Rebecca w. Lukens, with
the aid of manager, operated the
mills successfully for many years.
Abraham Gibbons and DR.. Charles
Huston, sons-in-law, later became as
sociated in the business In 1855 Mr..
Gibbons withdrew and DR.. Huston
took entire charge of the plants and
operated them for several years, when
Charles Penrose purchased an interest
in the business, and the works were
operated by Messrs. Huston and PEN
rose until 1876, when Abram F. Hus-
ton became associated in the business,
as did later the 1atter's brother,
Charles 1. Huston, and the last two
named have been operating the busi-
nes, enlarging the plants to meet the
demand, ever since.
The capacity of the old water mill
plant was 500 tons of plates a year,
and few were the years in which that
amount was made. The capacity of the
mills at the present time is more than
100, 900 tons per annum.

CUTICURA'S EFFECT
QUICK AND PERMANENT

"When about two and Q half years
old my daughter broke out on her hips
and the upper parts Of her legs with a
very irritating and painful eruption. 1t
began in October; the first I noticed
was little red surface and constant
desire on her part to scratch her limbs.
She could not sleep and the eruptions
got sore, and yellow water came out Of
them. I had two doctors treat her, but
she grew worse under their treatment.
Then bought the Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent,
and only used them two weeks when she
was entirely well. This was in Febru-
arv. She has never had another rough
