The Rescue

The children could never tell just
how it happened, except that there
was splash and one of the little boys
was missing from the float. In terror
they watched the widening circles on
the water, but he did not come to the
surface. Then a distinct humping I'M
der the float at their feet sent them
screaming from the spot. All save
one. A small, fair-haired girl, with a
white, determined face remained.
Throwing herself fiat upon her stom-
ach, she wound one arm firmly about
an upright of the slight railing, and
thrust the other into the green water
as far under the float as she was able.
Again she heard the terrifying bump
against the timbers, and she grabbed
frantically underneath the float in the
direction of the sound, but with no re-
suits. In an agony of suspense she
waited for him to rise the third time,
then her small hand grasped the hair
of the drowning child, drew him out
into the open and held his head above
water till help came in response to her
shrieks.

Nominated by Re-

York State
A ROOSEVELT VICTORY

Saratoga, Sept. 29.-Henry l.. Slim
son, of New York, was nominated for
Governor by the Republican State Con-
vention over Representative William
S. Bennett, of the same city. Stimson
received 64S votes of the LOIS votes
in the convention. The nomination
was later made unanimously.
Edward Scoeneck, mayor of Syra-
cuse, was nominated for Lieutenant
Governor.
Henry Lewis Stimson first came
prominently into the public eye as
United States district attorney for the
Southern District of New York, a
post to which he was appointed by
Theodore Roosevelt in January, 1906.
In his three years and two months
in Office Mr.. Stimson prosecuted the
so-called sugar trust and the New
York Central railroad for rebating and
secured the imposition of fines aggre-
eating nearly $1,0O0,00O.
The proceeding to compel the late
Edward H. Hartman to answer ques-
tions put to him by the Interstate
Commerce Commission was also won
| by Mr.. Stimson, and his next court
victory was against the Americon
Sugar Refining Company for fraud in
weighing imported sugar. This case
resulted in the government recovering
more than $2,O0O,OO0 duties from the
trust.
Mr.. Stimson is 43 years old, having
been born in New York city September
21, 1867.
He graduated from Yale In 1888,
then studied law at Harvard in 1890,
and begon practice in New York city.

DEMOCRATIC YEAR

Rochester, N. Y, Sept. 29.-The man
who will head the Democratic State
ticket this year had not been chosen
when the leaders concluded their con-
ference last night. But Chairman
John A. Dix, of the State Committee,
who last week, gave official impetus
to the Gaynor boom by the declaring
that upstate sentiment tended strong
ly in that direction, said before he
went to bed that he found among the
delegates the t'undercurrent of feeling
toward Edward M. Shepard.
After venturing Mr.. Shepard's
name, the State chairman, was asked
what his attitude was on certain pub
1ished criticism of Mr.. Shepard's al
legged connection with the American
Sugar Refining Company in an advis-
ory legal capacity.
ST have heard that criticism" re-
piled Mr.. Dix, "but has 1t occurred to
you that Mr.. Stimson himself is not
inyulnerable in the same spot? He
served in the Office of Senator Root
when the Metropolitan Street Railway
charter was drafted"
Mr.. Shepard, or those who watch
for him. did not fail to hear of this
suggested attack, and presently there
issued from his headquarters a state
ment declaring that the statement
that Mr.. Shepard drew the sugar trust
deed is absolutely without foundation.
1t was drawn, the statement says, by
John E. Parsons in conjunction with
Elihu Root, some years before Mr..
Shepard's partnership with Mr.. Par
sons commenced.
Much pressure has been brought to
bear on Mr.. Dix himself to consider
the nomination for Governor, but he
declined without hesitation and with
out qualification.
Charles F. Murphy reiterated las
night that he had no candidate in
sight. '"This is a Democratic year,
he said, ''and it would be mistake tt
spoil it with pushing personal prefer
ences. We hope to choose candidate
who will be acceptable to all shades
of Democratic opinion"

tinued. There is no candidate il

BIewitt Falls Plant.

Wadesboro, Sept. 29.-Considerable
interest is being felt in this section
concerning the outcome of the sale OF
the Rockingham Power Company's
properties at Blewitt Falls. The prop
erty is located on Pee Dee River, fif-
teen miles from Wadesboro, and has
been partially developed. The Rock
ingham Power Company several years
ago undertook the work of establish
ing a hydro-electric plant at Blewitt
Falls. 1t was proposed to develop 30,-
900 horsepower to be distributed
throughout this section. Work pro-
gressed very well for a while until
the panic of 1907, when financial diff
ficulties and disag agreements between
certain of the stockholders caused
receivership. Later the property was
sold at receivers sale and bought in
Il by a committee representing the bond
holders. During the past few months
some work has been done, however,
lust about enough to keep from losing
that which had been done before. Sew
]eral days ago DR.. G. w. Gil Wylie, of
New York City, president of the South
Iern Power Company, visited the loca-
ton and inspected the property. 1t
lis understood that the Southern Power
Company contempiates bidding the
plant in at the sale. The upset price
lis $1,000,0O0.
The work which has been done has
cost more than $2,O00,OOO, and it is
lestimated that it viii take about half
Iof that amount to complete the plant.

and Company holds bonds to the
amount of $s1o,ooO, and re the largest
subscribers to the bonds of the com.
pany.

Market Your Tobacco Yourself.
tsouthern Tobacco Journal.)

fSouthern Tobacco Journal.)
There is considerable complaint
coming from certain sections of the
bright belts on account of tobacco
buying in the country. We have al
ways thought with good reasons, for
SO thinking that the practice was
bad one, both for the farmer and the
buyer. Certainly for the farmer, who
will generally make a mistake by
holding his tobacco at home for some
one to come along and buy it. From
our general observation the regular
buyers on the markets are always dis
posed to help the farmer by paying
the highest possible prices for tobacco,
and if the farmer will handle his to-
bacco we'll and market it in good con-
dition he may at all times feel assured
of the best market prices. Right here
and now is a good time to again i'm
press upon our farmer friends the i'm
portance of making preparations for
handling their tobacco at home. For
such arrangements the investment
will be small, and the results always
profitable. Why not be your own mas
ter and prepare your own storag'
houses, handle your tobacco well and
market it judiciously?

Craig Our Next Governor.
News and observer.)

News and Observer.)
One OF the most influential Demo
Gratis OF the western part of the State,
and close personal friend of Hon.
Locke Craig, was in Raleigh yester-
day and authorized the announcement
that Mr.. Craig will be candidate for
Governor before the next Democratic
State Convention.
This gentleman stated that Mr..
Craig was reluctant to make formal
announcement at such an early date,
but that in view of the letters and
requests received by him from every
section insisting that he be a candi-
date, and that he should let his inten-
tions be known, he felt that it was his
duty to his friends to say that his
name would certainly go before the
next Democratic State Convention for
the nomination.
This gentleman also stated that i,
seemed to be the general opinion that
Mr. Craig would be nominated with.
out serious opposition two years
hence.
"There will be no question raised
at that time as to the right of th
West to name the Governor" remark
ed this gentleman, "and Mr.. Craig's
party services have been so con
spicuous, and his merit is SO pro
nounced, that there appears to be ar
almost unanimous sentiment in his
favor"

New Baseball League Proposed.
Charlotte observer.)

(CharlOtto observer.
The proposition of organizing new
baseball league with Lynchburg, DAN
Virginia circuit, Charlotte, Green's
boro and Winston-Salem from the
Carolina circuit has met with genuine
favor in this city and is said to be
rapidly coming into popularity in the
other North Carolina towns interested
in such an arrangement. 1t is not
known precisely what the attitude of
the cities now in the Virginia circuit
is on the subject, but it is a positive
rest and discomfort at the present stu
alton up there and some of the clubs
are anxious for change.
This proposition originated in
Lynchburg, but it is understood that
neither Roanoke nor Danville are
averse to the scheme and certainly
the North Carolina towns ought to
jump at the chance to get into such
a select company. It would be pos
sib1e with this combination to elevate
the class of baseball if desired, the
population of the six cities justifying
Glass C ball, but even if the present
classification is to be retained, there
| is no reason why the movement
shouldn't be popular. The Virginia
cities concerned will doubtless accede
to the demand for a lowered salary
limit andthi S is one of the crying
needs at present.
The proposed circuit would be a
dandy in the matter of mileage.
While Lynchburg and Roanoke are
about 200 miles from Charlotte, the
lowest extremity of the league as pro
posed, neither are as far away as
| lAAnderson is from Greensboro. II
would be entirely proper to arrange
a schedule that would allow Char
llotte to play all those cities on one
"trip and the same scheme could be
effective when one of them came into
the lower end of the circuit. 1t is
altogether possible to arrange {
Ischedule thatwoul not exceed il
mileage the travel that is necessary
now in getting the teams of the Caro-
lima AAsAsociation together.

HOUSE PARTY ENDS.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 29.-Yester.
days Cabinet session, the last to be
held during President Taft's house
party, was delayed this morning owing
to a rush of visitors.
The first of the White House callers
was T. J. Dolan, general secretary
treasurer of the International Brother
hood of the Steam Shovelers and
Dredgmen.
''Tne President told me-" he said.
.that he could be depended on to give
the railroads a square deal regard
less of clamor and political influence,
and, furthermore, he was going to see
that they got it,
Mr.. Dolan conferred width President
Taft relative to the proposed increase
Of freight rates. He said that labor
organizations had reached the conclu-
sion that the proposed increases are
fair and right. The steam shovel men,
he said, are interested because agita-
ton prompts the railroads to reduce
expenses and discontinue improve
ments
"The hueand cry against railroads
was all right for time," Mr.. Dolan
continued, "but since they are controll-
ed by Federal laws they ought to be
given a chance to do business with
out conflict and unfair interference"
Before the Cabinet session the Pres
ident greeted seventy members of the
governing body of the Loyal Guard of
the United States, now in annual ses-
sion in this city. lt~il.
The visitors were introduced to the
President by E. o. Wood, the head OF
the organization, who is the Demo-
cratic National Committeeman Of
Michigan.
Following an early breakfast Presf-
dent Taft received Archbishop Ireland
while the Cabinet members visited
their several departments. When the
Cabinet finally met, nearly an hour
late, army estimates and the plan to
put the postal savings banks in opera
tion were taken up and discussed.

For Protection of Girls.

Washington, Sept. 29.-What is con
sidered to be the most successful con
vention of it's kind ever held under the
auspices of the Catholic Church in
America, came to an end yesterday
when President Taft commended the
efforts of the 800 delegates to the first
annual conference of Catholic chari-
ties, and wished them success in their
nationwide movement.
Following the closing session of the
conference the delegates went to the
East Room of the White House and
listened with interest to the laudatory
remarks of the President.
Just before adjournment the confer
ence sent the following cablegram to
Pope Plus x:
"The National Conference of Catho-
lie charities convened in the Catholic
University Of America, for the assist
ance of our poor brethren, begs your
apostolic blessing on their 1abors.''
One of the most important actions
of the conference was a decision to
appoint committee in every city in
the United States which will form q
network over the country for the pro-
lection of girls. These committees
will be composed of representative of
all Catholic women charity organiza-
tions in each city, will work together
and constantly keep in touch with the
national conference of Catholic chari.
ties. The committees will draw up a
plan of study in order to discover the
local conditions in each city; construct
