that under no circumstances would

Dear Mr. Morehead: Your favor,
in which you say that charge has
been circulated in North Carolina in
this campaign to the effect that Hon.
Marion Butler is connected with the
Carlisle Bond Syndicate, as counsel
for the collection of certain North
SCarolina bonds, known as the car
pet-bag bonds" and requesting that
I give you any information that
may have with refence to the matter,
has been received.
What l know about the matter is,
briefly as follows:
1t is a matter of public record,
cited in cases of the Supreme Court
that Senator Butler appeared as one
of counsel i'm certain case where
rthe Supreme Court decided that the
State had really gotten the value of
the bonds and that they should be
paid. 1t seems, however, that after
wards the State of Rhode Island and
think the State of Nevada passed
some legislation which it was
thought might enable the Supreme
Court to pass upon tn validity of {
wholly different class of North Caro-
lima bonds, different in creation, il
consideration and in purpose. Thes'
are generally referred to as tn
fraudulent "carpet-bag bonds"
I had never heard Of either elias
of bonds until about year ago whel

CHATHAM'S SCANDAL.
Continued from Page -


Sheriff The only explanation offer
ed for this error is that the old ma
chine was loaded to the tune of ST.
475.85 before the items were regis
tered.
H. L. Dorsett, the Republican Reg
lister of Deeds was clerk of the Com
missioners at this last named can
collation.. The Register of Deeds is
the custodian Of all cancelled orders,
so before crediting the Sheriff's ae-
count on his books, he checks these
orders over, and easily sees the mis-
take, and the amount is never placed
on his books until he calls it to the
attention of the Commission, and the
account is rectified.
Also the financial condition Of the
county was shown to be as follows:
Balance of Chatham County's portion
of the bond issue of 1905 is S17,336.
Chatham's County's portion of the
S10,500 interest yet to be paid is
$9,09S.25. Bond issue of April 1,
1909, is $4,000. Interest to be
issue of April 1, 1910, is $4,000. In
terest to be paid on said issue is S.
| 675. Outstanding orders prior to
September 5, 1910, s6,0S7.50, Fear
| ington Bridge now contracted for
100000, Bear Creek Bridge, sS54-
90. Total, s93,534.75. For 5 per
cent collecting takes to meet above
as it falls due, s4,676.73. Total debt
to be paid $9S,2164S by taxpayers.
The new county of Lee, which took
portion of Chatham's territory will
not have to pay any portion of the
above debt. Lees portion of Chat
hams debt is substraeted before
making this statement.
The amount of Orders cancelled in
the recent issues of Bonds for al
expenditures on bridges since the
August freshet of 1908 is $t3, 1884
Where, oh, where, Mr.. Taxpayer, die
the remainder of this $4,000 go to!

citizens of Chatham County that Mr.
Hayes iterated, and reiterated, ant

county was only about $23, 900 il

Germany has long been pointed
10 by the advocates of beer drink
ing as a country where almost
everybody drinks light beer with
out evil effects. But now Emper-
Or William has issued a solemn
warning on the subject to the
young men of his empire. He tells
them that the drink habit is SER
iously injuring individual young
men and the nation as whole,
with the result that both are fall
ing behind foreigners, especially
Americans and the English, who
have more sensible ideas regard
ing drink by youths. Nobody has
ever accused the Emperor of be-
ing a temperance "crank" and he
views the matter wholly in the
light of effectiveness in the battle
of life.-Youth's Companion.

A lengthy article in the Kansas
City Star this week describes the
benefit to Kansas City Of the new
st. Louis-K Kansas City electric line
in the matter of power, which khe
company proposes to furnish at
reduced rates. 1t says the genera
ting plants are to be located at
the mines in Boone and Howard
county and r to generate power
with slack coal fed automatically
reducing to a minimum the ex-
pense of coal, drayage, handling,
firing and last but not leas: the
elimination from the city of smoke
and dirt. The company claims to
own ten thousand acres of good
coal land. What interests us most
though is the fact that Marshall
can get the benefit of this power
al we'll as Kansas City and we
have the advantage of nearness
to power plants and ideal location
Of factories. When We have solv-
ed the power and water problem.
Marshall will have no trouble in
getting factories located here.

Chicago school children will he
much happier in a few months if
the plan is adopted to abandon
forcing them to learn a lot of dates
in history. The superintendent of
schools says that very little of
such things that the children learn
remains in their minds, and that
it is. useless to burden them with
it. She is probably correct; but
undoubtedly she does not propose
to shut out the great dates in
American history, such as the year
of he discovery by Columbus, the
year of the landing of the Pilgrim
the dates of the Declaration Of In
dependence, of the second wal
with Great Britain and of the Civil
War.-Youth's Companion.

much in earnest as it pretends,
let them "dig up a little to help
along.

The total imports into the Unit
ed States for April amounted 20
nearly $134,OOO,o 900 and e larg ar
tt ar lis April of any earlier year
The total exports amounted to a
little more than $133, GOO, 900, and
were larger than those of April,
1909, by about $s,OOO,ooO For the
10 months ending with April the
total imports were larger by S247,-
O64,912 and the total exports by
$685. 1859 than those for the cor
responding period of last year.
Trade with the Philippines has
been so stimulated by the new law
which relieves nearly all articles
of duty, that in the first eight
months under the law imports
were nearly doubled and exports
were increased about Ga per cent.

Obituary

James T. Dickerson an old and
respected resident of Saline coun-
ty died at his home near Antioch
on Wednesday June the sth of
paralysis.
The deceased was 81 years, two
month and 2s days old. He was
born in Pettis county but moved
with his parents to Saline when
but four years old and has lived
here since. He leaves a wife, an
aged mother, three brothers and
three sisters and a host of rela-
tives and friends to mourn his lose.
He was married to Bird Scott
August IA, 1870. The family have
the heartfelt sympathy of the en-
tire community. We all feel that
we have lost one of u best citi-
zens, one who was ever willing to
lend a helping hand in sickness.
One by one u friends are going,
Over to the unknown shore,
One by one they take their journey
And we see them here no n
And we miss them oh 80 sadly
How our aching hearts despair
When We gather round the fireside
And behold the vacant chair.
But we know We soon shall meet
them
Soon our time will come to 60,
And we hone once more To praet
them,
In a land that's free from woe
Free from sickness, death and
parting,
Free from every earthly care.
oh what JOY to meet our loved
ones,
Where there is no vacant chair.
