COWLES' elLL UNNECESSARY.
Congressman Webb DisSects The Measure
Presented by the Congressman.

Spoaklng Of the bill introduced
by representative Cowles provid.
ing for the re-enactment of recon-
struction statue having to do with
the conduct of elections, Represen-
tative Webb made the following
statem9 ant to. day: SIT is almost
unbelievable that anybody should
seriously think of re-enacting
those hated statues low. They
are re les of the days when the
N ,rthernpr had his heel on the
uecks Of the white people of the
South; when the negro did the
voting and the whites were dis
franchis ID aud carpetbaggers had
general control in the land. The
mere reading of these old sections
of reconstruction laws revives o.,
ter mem prles of sectional Ia
strife and race feeling. Why
young white man of the South
who vas born since the civil war,
should want TO re-enact such OBJ
noxious laws A years after the
civi war, is past understanding.
81 d. not believe you could find
a half.doznn Northern Republican
Cougressmen bitter enough to
stand for such laws again. In re-
visiug tho crlminal laws of the
United States in the last Congress,
when the Rat5ublicans had lar
ger laiority, no Republican,,
North tr South could ba found
who VAS willing to suggest the re-
enrichment Of these statues.
"The auth + of the bill under
takes to Justify his action by say
ing that there are no State or
Federal statues to punish election
thieves. He shows remarkable
miliuritv with cur own cleo
clon laws III making this state
meut. for there he will find it
crime to abet il legal reg stratlon,
t. bribe or attempt to bribe vo.
ter, intimidate voter OF discharge
an empiOye ca account ct ms vote
disturbing elections, fraudulent
voting lmpersonating another yo-
ter, treating with liquor, false ell
tries by election officers, failure Of
officer to make returns of election,
false return, etc. Our laws to
protect elections are as good as
any State has, North or South,
and the unscrupulous and dishon-
est election officers cf whom Mr..
CoWles complains surely do not
live in his district or he would not
have been elected.
"Secti1 n 5, ,515, which it is now
proposed to re-enanct, makes 1T
Federal offence to violate a State
law i'll regard to elections, which
means the turning over complete-
ly of our criminal laws relating t.
elections to the Federal authority
Judges and marshals. 1'hare is
no State in the Union to-day that
would stand for such an extreme
and dangerous proposition.
"Surely our young friend does
not understand the full import of
his bill Let us hope that he
does not, "-WashingtNn dispatch

Married in the Public Road. Avail Falls.

Chas Mills and Miss Mamie
Parker were married in the public
road about two miles above Mocks-

Cashwell, pastor of the Baptist
church here, performing the cere-

of Cooleemee and were accompa-

passed through town about 2
O'Clock. It was the intention of
the.contracting parties to keep the
affair secret for a while but they
failedto do so.
A section of the north wall at
the east end of the large two-story
brick building adjoining E. E.
Hunts hardware store fell in Sat-

It is fortunate that it occurred at
night, as during the day there is
almost always some one near the
spot and horses and vehicles are
many t: mes left standing or hitch

certain to get killed or destroyed

On Account of Ill Health, Dolph Baatz
 Is Compelled to Close Out.

The announcement made in sunday s issue of the Silver Belt that the firm of Dolph Baatz & Co. were about to re- tire from business has caused a great lot of comment, as this store for the past four years has built up very large business.

As result, this firm on Thursday opens it's doors to the people of Globe with the greatest sale ever held in this city. The services of an expert in conducting closing out sales have been engaged and every article in the store is to be placed on sale re- gardless of cost. This sele is an hon est, retiring sale and it means that the firm of Dolph Baatz & Co. will retire as soon as this sale is closed.

Clarence. Butler, negro who is now in the county jail, awaiting trial on a charge of selling liquor to an Indian, will make as defense, when, his case comes to f,trial, that his aecuser testi, fled falsely against him. M

When questioned as to where he secured the booze, he stated that Butler sold it to him. Told that But.

 Butler claims he can prove his as- sertious when the case comes to trial and is confident of securing his free dom.
