As Representation Cowles is
representing this district in Con-
gress for the last term he will
have, it is hardly worth while to
comment to any extent upon his
bill, which has for its purpose the
reviving of reconstruction meas
ures against the south. Accord
ing to the Washington correspon-
dent of the Charlotte Observer,
Mr.. Cowles says: "Our Govern
or is not in sympathy with us and
in the last campaign he was quot.
ed in the newspapers as having
declared in a public speech that a
Republican had as we'll deposit
his ballot in a rural free delivery
box as a ballot box; that if they
wanted their votes counted they
had better vote for him." No
man in the State knows better
than Mr.. Cowles that Gov. Kitch-
en- said nothing of the sort. He
does not plainly charge that he
did use the language quoted, but
he circulates the report in the
hope that many members of his
party will believe it. Mr. Cowles
knows Gov. Kitchen is not a fool
and he also knows that no candi-
date, unless he was a fool of the
pursst ray serene, would ever
make such an assertion in public.

As noted in our local columns
the authorities are endeavoring to
cut down the speed of automobiles
in the city limits. This, it seems
to us, is a very proper thing to Go.
Governments are for the purpose
of protecting the citizens and there
is no doubt as to the necessity of
some such regulations. The driv-
ing of an automobile through the
streets at q high rate of speed is as
dangerous as a locomotive, a street
car or a runaway team and the
life of citizens are in jeopardy,
both directly and Indirectly. The
law is a very timely one, many
narrow escapes have occurred, and
it is much wiser to take steps to
prevent accidents rather than at.
tempt to adjust matters after
something has happened. 1t is
certainly encouraging and refresh
ing to have an administration in
power that is making every honor
able effort to enforce all laws
without any regard or respect for
persons. The laws are made to be
enforced and the officers are but
doing their plain duty. Strength

My dear Sir:
Following is a list of the times
and places at which Farmers In
stiututes will be held in the sever
al counties Of the Eighth Congress
sional district. Believing that it
would be Of some benefit to our
people to have the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture cooperate
with T. B. Parker, Director of
Farmers Institutes for North
Carolina, in this work, l request
ed the Hon. Secretary of Agricul-
ture to send lecturers to speak at
the Farmers Institutes in the
Eighth Congressional diatrict, and
I am pleased to be able to inform
you that he has kindly consented
to do 80 and that G. R Hudson

by His Employer Not to

WARRANT HAD BEEN ISSUED
Action Had Been Taken by the Po-
lice to Apprehend the Missing Clerk
Friends and Relatives Plead For
swck and Gregory Consents to Drop
Prosecution.

Charles D. Swick, the missing yard
manager OF the Gregory, Coal, Coke
and Lime company. will not be arrest
ed. The complaint filed by his en-
ployer. George Gregory. which charged
embezz. ement, and on which a war
rant had been issued, has been with
drawn by Mr.. Gregory, The steps which
Chief of Police w. r. Nicholson had
taken to learn where Swick was, and
the instructions he had issued to have
him arrested, have ceased.
Relatives plead for Him.
This new phase in the case developed
Friday after relatives and friends OF
the missing man had approached Mr.,
Gregory to desist in his prosecution,
which he did out of sympathy for Mrs.
Swick and other near relatives who
feel keenly tho disgrace. No offer has
been made by any Of these to repay
Mr.. Gregory the amount he believes
Swick appropriated. Mr.. Gregory felt
that, as matter OF enforcement of the
law, and in justice to the general pub
lie, to say nothing of his personal loss,
he should take steps to have Swick ar
rested. This he had started to do.
Mr.. Gregory believes now. from en-
tries he has discovered in the cash
book, that Swick's populations may
reach the sum of $500, or perhaps a
little more, but no new sums OF any
great amount have been discovered
Swick's whereabouts are still I'M
known, SO far as the police, Mr.. Greg
DRY, or the wife, know.

Fred Busse, Of Chicago.
There was no flinching when Voll-
mer submitted to the knife. He saw
what others did not---a pair of deep
blue eyes shining from beneath a
wealth of golden hair The nurse was
helping in the operation, unaware OF
the glances of the man who had fallen
in love with her at first sight.
vollmer visited the hospital often to
see his friend. whose convalescence
was rapid following the operation. In
cidentally the visitor to the hospital
grew to know the nurse better. The
acquaintance developed a friendship,
and the friendship ripened into love.
The betrothal announced today fol-
lowed, and in the glad Eastertide the
wedding bells will ring.
Miss Harris is one of the best known
young women Of the city, where she
has been reared since childhood. She
is possessed of good musical educa-

She was pupil of Anna Morgan, in
Chicago, and later graduated from the
National School of Elocution, at Phil
adelphia. For time she taught elocu-
ton in Mt. st. Joseph's, Dubuque.
1t was along evolutionary lines that
the fond parents had set their hopes
for their daughters future. Miss Har-
ris, however, preferred medicine. the
profession of her father. She was so
strenuously opposed in this that she
finally determined to adopt the next
nearest calling, and two years ago went
to Chicago and entered the nortk side
hospital Cupid, however, willed that
she should not finish.
Mr.. vollmer is a LaSalle, H.. man,

Parke Davis Drug company. After
their marriage Mr.. and Mrs. vollmer

The Retail Merchants association
has now started a movement that

within reach of the retail merchants.

A farmer or farmers boy with four
horses and wide drag, can make good
wages at SO cents per hour and thor
oughly work two miles Of road in four
hours or a labor expense of 81 per
mile. If the merchants and AUTOMOBILE
lists would offer to pay so cents per
mile 100 miles of road could be kept
as smooth and as hard as pavement
for $1,000 per year. There are eleven
main roads leading out of the town
and for this price each main road could
sbe dragged for five miles out with
practically every cross road worked
in the same manner. The road super

the Nicholson Ford road for one year

dragging that was needed from frost

it would be good investment, and II
we raised money by taxation for
dragging every mile Of road in the
county at 80 cents per mile, it would
be better yet.
In the opinion of the closest OBJ
servers it would not require more than
a spark to- the finder ito start a real
boom for Marshalltown. There is
enough activity on Main street. but

to almost make boom if started sim

Frohman Stars, in eernstein's 1.-THE
Thief" Afford Great Treat.
One of the real treats Of the sea-
son. from an intensely dramatic stand
point, came to the Odeon on New
Years day, when Charles Frohmans
company presented "The Thief" by
Henri Bernstein.
This stirring bit of dramatic art.
which has been praised by the press
of two continents, has lost nothing IN
it's preparation for production in small
er cities In fact, with the name
Frohman back of it, nothing but high
standard of excellence would be looked
for.
The story deals with the home life
Of friends. in which the host and host
ess and two guests are in the habit of
keeping no secrets from one another.
The host tells of systematic robbing
of his wifes room. and a celebrated
secret service man is engaged on the
case He makes his report, which In
eliminates the only son of the host,
in whom the fathers hope and pride
is deeply conferred. The young man,
who has a boyish infatuation for the
wife of his fathers friend and guest,
when confronted with the crime, admits
the populations and turns over large
sum that had been stolen that very
day.
This brings to a close the first act.
In the second Marie-Louise, the wife
of Richard Voysin, is discovered by
her husband to be in possession OF
more ready cash than voysin believes
she should have, in view of his earn
ing capacity. The husband suddenly
realizes the expensive fnery in which
his wife has been indulging, and finally
wrings from her confession that she
lis the thief, and not young Lagardes.
voysin's humiliation at his wife's acts,
in the house of his dearest friend, is
suddenly coupled with a Jealous rage,
when he discovers that young La
gardes' motive in confessing the crime
he did not commit was because OF his
love for Voysins wife,
In the last act the heart-broken
young wife confesses all to Raymond
Lagardes, the boys father, just as the
father has determined to send his son
to Brazil, that he might work and earn
| the money he believed he had stolen
The story ends happily, in the forgive
ness of the erring woman who, with
her husband, goes to Brazil to begin
life anew.
One of the most clever features of
Mr.. Bernstein's effort is the carefully
hidden plot that is not unfolded until
the second Nact. This is by far the
strongest act of the three, and furnish
es an opportunity for some decidedly
artistic work on the part of the two
leading characters, Richard Voysin and
his wife. Mr.. David Proctor gave a
most delightful impersonation Of Voy-
sin. and Miss Rea Carlysle most ably
portrayed the difficult role Of the fool
| ish Young wife who because she be-
lieved her husband would love her
more in her finery, made the grave
mistake of living beyond her means,
and resorting to theft to accomplish an
end not otherwise possible. Living
within ones means is the strong NOR
ale that the author presents.
