Young Woman Goes Insane Over
Subject of Religion.
Gastonia Gazette. I

Gastonia Gazette
Barefooted, her black hair stream
ing loosely down her back, Hulra
Burgess, and attractive looking girl
OF perhaps eighteen years, sat in
surrey in front of the city hall yester-
day afternoon and gave utterance TO
the widest rawlings of a maniac She
had been brought from her home at
Loray Mill and was taken as quickly
as Magistrate w. Meek Adams could
write a commitment, to the county
jail, where she is incarcerated, pend
ing application for her entrance into
the State Insane Asylum at Morgan
ton.
This is another case traceable di-
rectly to the influence of the "un-
known tongue" tribe which continues
its operations in this immediate sec
ton, unmolested. 1t is hence all the
more case for supreme pity as her
present plight might have been pre-
vented had this aggregation of ia
kris been sent away from Gastonia
some time ago. This is only one of
quite number of cases which have
come to light in Gastonia within the
past year in which lives are b1ighted
in one way or another by the Dane-
full influence of these near-religious
montebanks.
The girl who was taken to Dallas
yesterday afternoon is the one who,
on the night of May IS, as chronicled
in the Gazette of May 20, gathered a
large number of people at her home
on the supposition that she was to be
married that night to certain young
man in the community. He failed to
show up and on investigation it was
found that he knew nothing what
ever of the mater and her only ex-
PLANTATION was contained in the dec1a-
ration that "the Lord told me we
were to be married tonight" It was
found then that she was laboring I'M
der a mental cloud and since that
time has grown steadily worse until
it was found necessary to place her in
confinement.

Beware of Primary observation-disclosures
ing to the Independent Electors of
Nash County.

Nash County.
"a word to the wise is sufficient"
If you are not already wise on the
Primary Election Law for Nash
County, enacted by the last Legis-
lature of North Carolina, go at once
and read with care Chapter 494 of
the Acts of 1909. Note we'll the pit
falls for the feet of unwary voters, to
some of which we call attention be-
low:
The Democratic executive COM
mittee and the Democratic candi-
dates met and promised they were
going to do away with the law Ny
dear people, there are but two pow
ers who can do away with the law.
First, the Governor of North Caro-
lima can call the Legislature together
and repeal the law, or the Supreme
Court decide it unconstitutional. In
the face of this promise to do away
with the law, you see they have gone
ahead and appointed their poll hold
ers and managers for each election
precinct in Nash County. You see
from that they are in direct compli-
ance with Section of their primary
law. We believe their new primary
law will be carried out almost to the
letter when election comes Off with
those who vote in the Democratic
primary. We ask that you keep out
of this Democratic primary regard
less of what party you belong to;
then you can feel free and easy to
vote for who you please at the gen.
eral election.
In Section 4. you will see that they
are going to keep a poll list; this is
to see who votes in the primary and
you are to take an oath that you will
support and vote for the candidate
nominated in said primary. It just
means when you once get in the Dem
ocratic primary you are compelled to
vote for the candidate who gets the
nomination. For this cause we beg
the voters of Nash County to stay
out of the Democratic primary; by SO
doing you will not jeopardiZe your
privileges, then at the general cleo
| ton you can go to the polls like free
men and vote for who you please on
either ticket and be under no obli-
/ cations to any political party.
Think, my dear people, as you
read, and before you get into the
coming Democratic primary election.
There can be lots of trouble to fol-

We're recorded this morning. The show
this season bids fair to outrival all
others and it is assured that many
birds will be placed on exhibition that
have never been seen here before. One
pen alone of Sussex chickens from
England will attract great attention
for these will be the first of their kind
to be shown and in this section of
the country The Sussex chicken is
the great market chicken of the old
country and their arrival here will be
hailed with interest.
A special feature of the show which
will prove of great moment to many
people is the special exhibition of kill
ing, picking and packing fowls which
will be given by one of the judges.
Many other practical things will also
be shown.

intention or desire to shirk any part
of his own legitimate responsibility
for what was done by these two sub
ordinates. What they did, he added,
raised a question of principle that

Upon the conclusion of the discus
sion of the Pinchot letter, the presi-
dents message transmitting Attorney
General Wickersham's long report was
not read 1t was referred to the COM
mittee on public lands.
Senator Nelson, chairman of the
committee on public lands, has called
a meeting for Saturday morning to
consider the several resolutions relat-
ing to the investigation of the Bal
linger- Pinchot controversy.
Louis R. CLAWS, formerly chief of
the field division of the general land
office, suffered from megalamania and
was not imbued with deep sense of
patriotic duty in making charges
against Secretary of the Interior Bal
linger and others connected with the
land claims in Alaska, according to
Attorney General Wickersham, whose
report on the controversy was sent to
congress today by President Taft.
Wickersham arraigns CLAWS.
The opinion of Wickersham says
that the charges of improper action
were entirely disproved and that Bal
linger was scrupulously careful In his
conclusion in the matter.
OF the Cunningham claims, the
Wickersham report says all essential
facts relating to the claims seem to
have been ascertained by CLAWS in
the spring Of 1908, and indeed the
claimants do not appear to have made
any concealment of the facts upon
which their claims depend.
The report goes on to say that
CLAWS had upwards of two yeas to
investigate the claims, and frequent
requests to bring the investigation to
a conclusion met only with excuses
for further delay and brought forth
only criticisms of his superior officers
and requests for further assistance.
