A Legislator Who Can't Take
His Wife to Raleigh With
Him.

F. A. Olds in Charlotte Observer.
1t was Solomon, the wisest of
the wise, who declared with much
positiveness, that:there was moth
ing new under the sun. The
Chinese have carried out the
same line of thought and opinion,
but both Solomon and the Chinese
are evidently wrong. There is a
member of the Legislature, now
present on duty here, a married
man, who cannot bring his wife
to Raleigh. He comes from a
piedmont county and he tells the
story very openly and frankly.
It seems that his predecessor was
instructed to vote for a particular
measure and promised to do SO,
but brought his wife to Raleigh
with him and that was the be.
ginning of his troubles. The per-
suasion of his wife was more
powerful than his promise to his
constituents, for she induced him
to vote exactly the other way.
When he went home there was
something doing. The riot act was
read to him and then he was put
on the scrap heap. When a new
man came to be nominated he
was told of the previous trouble
and had to pledge himself that
he would not bring his wife tc
Raleigh with him, nor have her
come here while the Legislature
was in session. He made the
promise and says he is going tt
keep it. It is very greatly tt
be doubted whether there has
ever been such another case ir
this country; certainly no one
has ever heard Of such a thing
before in North Carolina. It is
a wonderful tribute to the in
fluence of woman.

FORT RECEIVES
REPORT ON STATE
TREASURY TO-DAY
Balance Shows Sl,304,0Ol, as
Indicated by Telegram of
Comptroller.
Especial to the Newark Star. |

TRENTON, Oct. Ex-Governor Fort
received from State Comptroller West
this afternoon a telegram announcing
the balance in the State treasury at
the close of the fiscal year. which is
today, tomorrow being Sunday.
The balance named in the message Is
s., 1904, ,001.40.
1t Is expected that the balance in the
State fund will be shown to be about
$685. 900, but of this sum approxi-
mately 50, 100000 is money received from
the railroad main-stem taxes and be-
longs to the public schools of the State.
This Is better showing than the ad-
ministration hoped to make several
months ago. 1t should be remembered,
however, that not all the money Is
free money" A portion Of it must
be paid on contracts already made.
These will not be due at once, however,
SO that future receipts will be in the
hands OF State Treasurer Voorhees, be-
fore the contracts must all be met.
A portion of the balance will also
be due upon appropriations already
made by the Legislature. But the most
of the appropriations are used only az
the monthly expenses to which they
apply fall due, so that future receipts
will also be in hand before those pay
ments must be met.

GREAT INTEREST
IN OUTCOME OF
MATHEWS DISPUTE
Probable Action on His Presence
at Ferrer Meeting Causes
Speculation.
TRADES COUNCIL REFUSES
TO INDORSE PROFESSOR
Supporters of Teacher Arrange
Sunday Mass-meeting in
His Defense.

Speculation is rife as to what action
the Board of Education will take in
the case of Professor Byron c.
Mathews, of the Barringer High School,
who has been cited to appear before
its next meeting To explain why he
presided at the Ferrer meeting In
Wevers's Colosseum last Monday night.
Those who are loudest in their cen
sure of Professor Mathews say that #
on the day following the meeting Pro-
fessor Mathews had declared he was
not in sympathy with the anarchistic
and other forms of violent prejudices
that predominated throughout the
meeting there would have been some
excuse or loophole for him to escape the
storm of criticism which his action has
aroused. Instead, Professor Mathews,
in an interview. declared that "the
speakers remarks are true
While there are many who condemn
Professor Mathews, he is not without
his supporters. These arsons con-
tend that he has a right to his per-
sonal opinion, although they do not
attempt to answer the charge that the
meeting developed Into an anarchistic
gathering rather than a meeting of
Socialists.
One of the organizations which has
taken up the cudgels for Professor
Mathews is society known as the Ger
man American Central Society. The
committee on personal liberty of that
society has called meeting in the
Turn Hall tonight to arrange for q
mass-meeting tomorrow night. George
Grimme is chairman of the committee
having in charge the arrangements for
tomorrow nights meeting. The society
takes the stand that Professor
Mathews had right as free citlzer
of the republic to preside at a meet
ing, whose objects conformed TO his
personal views"
! An unsuccessful effort was made las
night by Albert Laeonbe, secretary o
the Essex County Socialist organiza
ton. to have the Essex Trades Council
go on record as favorlng the action
taken at the Ferrer meeting. Mr.
Lacombe said thar as the meeting was
one of union laboring men 1t was the
duty of the local trades council TO in
dorse il.
Joseph Cross. OF the Buffers and
Polshers' Union No. A, said that nc
did not think the meeting at the Colos-
scum would develop into the meeting
that 1t did. and that in future the
Essex Trades Council would be very
careful about accepting invitations to
meetings.
When Hugh Reilly offered motion
that the Trades Council commend the
action of Prof Mathews In presiding
at the meeting Secretary Henry +.
Uilfers held that, as the council was
not officially represented at the meet-
ing, the motion could not be enter
tained. President Mclean agreed with
the secretary and refused to entertain
the motion.
