Mr.. Thomas Dixon at New
York, conferred here today in
the presence of Aycock e Win

senting Dixon, and The News

matters in litigation thus ending
all pending suits. including that
against The News and Observer.
The substance of the agree
ment signed is that there are in
the South asperities of feeling
between confict-political opin.
ions but that neither Dixon nor
Montgomery intended to i'm
peach the private life nor the
personal conduct Of the other;
that Judge Montgomery gave
Dixon provocation for retaliation
and Dixon's letter was imtem-
perate. Dixon disclaimed any
intention to reflect upon Judge
Montgomery's ancestors. The
News and Observer stated in
substance that It published the
articles merely as news without
malice and without intending to
assert their truthfulness as they
we're uttered and signed by repu-
table men. 1t is likewise stated
that it did not intend to reflect

PECULIAR DEATH OF A Child.
WIndpIpe Stopped up By d Peanut
Was The Cause.
The YOUNG CHILD OF THOMAS M'ABEE
Doctors We're Quickly Summoned,
But Arrived Too Late. the Child
Dying Within Twenty Minutes

A peculiar and unusual death
occurred at the home of Thomas
McAbee, Angler avenue, Satur-
day night, when the 17-months-
old child died as result of lodg-
ing a permit in its windpipe and
died before medical aid could be
secured.
1t was about 8 o'clock when
the baby child secured the peanut
from his older sister of five
years. The little one was not
allowed things of this kind but
managed to get hold of a peanut
from her sister. Almost i'm
msdiately the child was in the
struggles of death. The pea, it
is supposed, went to the wind
pipe and there blocked the
breathing. At any rate the
child lived but short while.
One peculiarly sad feature Of
the story is that the father was
up street at:the time, having left
his little child in fine health and
good spirits, and it was some,
time before he could be found
and the story told. There were
those who were searching for him
to home on account Of death.
The funeral .and burial took
place Sunday afternoon.

Word Of Warming.

The News would like to warn all Of
our rural friends against deposiring
anything in rural mail boxes except
their own letters. or other mail.
There have been number Of farmers
and stock men fined in other counties
of the State because bills with their
stock advertised thereon were found
IN number of boxes along the routes.
Anything intended to go to any patron
OF any mail route is required by the
postOffice department to be deposited
with the postmaster stamped and ad-
dressed or placed in bulk in ones own
mail box, for the rural carriers to dis
tribute. 1t is not the purpose of the
government to let any person touch or
open any mail box not their own ex-
cept the rural carrier, and the boxes,
while the private property of the
patrons are not to be used as private
property or between neighbors.

the Paris Commercial Club so that
ample time may be had to get up a
celebration worthy of the name.
Paris citizens have been roped in so
often in the past by fake demonstra-
tons in other towns that we're largely
advertised and that failed to come up
to representations, that we believe a
celebration could be arranged for this
city with program that would please
and attract the people not only from
this county but from cur neighboring
counties as well.
The town or city that offers induce
ments for wholesome amusement upon
occasions like this is the place that
will attract the people and the greater
the crowd the greater the benefit to
the business men.

Women in Unusual Occupations.

A Connecticut constable investigat-
ing a reported act CT cruelty by a
father in compelling his daughter to
break stone on highway he was con-
structing found that the young woman
liked the work and was disposed to
thrash anyone VINO interfered with it.
Unless a case can be made out against
her for wearing male attire there is no
reason why the young woman should
not continue her -congenial occupation
without fear of further attempts at
government regulation.
The sight of a woman performing
the heavier kinds of labor once deemed
fl only for men is still sufficiently
novel. Yet the census returns show
that nearly %, women are employed
as workers in iron and steel. Women
lind employment as blacksmlths, brick
makers, woodchoppers. stovemakers
and porters.
Sentiment may deprecate their in
crease of numbers in industries requir-
ing strength and endurance. But
where they possess the requisite
physique and are under no illusions to
degrees of responsibility in labor it is
not apparent why they should not en-
gage in masculine occupations as free
ly as they like. They may even de-
veIop pride in their efficiency. as in
stanced by the boast of the Connecti-
cult young woman in question that she
can beat any man breaking stone.

The Bread Corner.

With wheat and flour soaring in
price, with loaves of bread diminishing
in size and with an increasing public
demand upon the President and Con-
gress for action, the man responsible
for the present situation in breadstuffs
vehemently denies that he has corner
ed the market. He is merely mer-
chant. He foresaw a scarcity. He
did no torestalling. He simply bought
wheat when he knew it was cheap and
he now has it for sale at profit.
So say they ALL Few of the daring
operators who have attempted with
more or less success to monopolize
markets have been willing to admit
that they contemplated a corner, and
the one now in evidence is not likely
to do so. There are laws in Illinois
against forestalIing and against cor
ners. There is law, also which has
been upheld by the Supreme Court Of
the State, but rarely enforced, pre-
hibiting dealing in futures.
Gamblers in wheat are shrewd
enough to point to the high price of
cash wheat that is, real wheat-as
proof that their speculation is not re-
sponsible for the advance in futures,
but if it had not been for the manipu-
lation of futures there would be no
such demand now for the actual grain.
These operators probably have bought
and sold many times over all the real
wheat that there is in the country.
BY such methods they have gained con-
troll of great proportion of the visi-
bic supply.
1t Is so easy to see how the National
Government can-reach these evils, but
States which permit manipulators to
monopoIize food and flch unearned
millions from the pockets CT the people
are shockingly remiss in their duty to
themselves and their neighbors.
