WHOLE TOWN BOUGHT
BY LUMBER COMPANY
POpuIatlOnOf Three Hundred May
Increase to Five Thousand

Charlotte, N. c., Oct. 11.-Pre-
paratory to beginning extensive lum,
Der operations In Graham county. the
Whiting Lumber company, a large
corporation backed BY an English
syndicate and controlling thousands OF
acres of timber lands In Graham and
adjoining counties, has purchased
practically every piece OF property In
the town OF Robinville, which has
about 300 inhabitants and is the
capital of this North Carolina noun
tain county.
The exceptions to the purchase are
the courthouse property. the Metho-
dist and Presbyterian churches,
school and two or three pieces of pri-
vate property.
The purchase of the town of Rob-
inville was necessary TO the operation
of the lumber company, because the
site is practically the only location
possible for a lumber camp. The
present village is expected to bloom
into a lumber town Of from 5000 to
5000 people during the coming year.

Millbury, Mass, Oct. 1e.-Miss
Della c. Torrey, aunt of President
Taft, was badly frightened at her
home here by a wild-eyed stranger
who entered the house unannounced
and when met in the hallway by Miss
Torrey, told her he heard of a plot
planned In Boston to murder the presi-
dent and that If she said anything
about it so that 1t got into the papers
he would come back and murder her.
The man was in the house only a
few moments and hurried away to
take trolley car bound for Worces-
ter.
Miss Torrey told the story of her
strange visitor to the selectmen, and
the police of Millbury and Worcester
were notified. The conductor of the
car said the man went through to
Worcester, but the police have not
been able to locate him.
The man is described by Miss Tor
rey and others as about 80 years of
age, five feet six inches tall and
dressed In black.

The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1910-10-14

The platform was accepted without
a dissenting vote as presented by the
committee on resolutions. The Walk
er tariff plank was included. Con-
gresham Ames, who had threatened
earlier in the day to raise 4 rumpus in
case the platform inumated that
Senator Lodge ought to be renominat-
ed, was satisfied with the platform af-
ter he had heard it read. Norman II.
White, who was expected to say
something about the platforms in
dorsement of the governors railroad
policies, was not in evidence.
The platform adopted praises the
administration Of Draper. The Re-
publican party is praised for a change
in the educational system Of Massa-
chusetts, which offers children a
chance to obtain an Industrial educa-
ton in public schools.
1t says Republican legislation aimed
to protect the honest farmer who tried
to produce milk up to the legal stand
ard and to take shipments out OF the
control of milk contractors so produc-
ers could get Just and equal rates on
small shipments.
The conservation of natural re-
sources is claimed as a Republican
policy, and the Massachusetts, osn-
gressional delegation is urged to sup
port the bill for national forest re-
serves in the Appalachian mountains.
The party is given credit for legis-
lation in regard TO medical inspection,
good factory conditions. proper
hours of labor" pure food and other
health regulations.
Local option on the direct nominal
tons question is approved Of. and so
is the law making the governor direct
ly responsible for all estimates for
state appropriations.
The platform warmly commends the
administration of President Taft.
The tariff plank reads: I'VE recon-
mend the establishment Of perma-
nent. independent, expert tarin COM
mission. the function Of which shall
be to discover and report TO congress
from time to time such facts and
statistics as viii enable congress to
amend the tariff Law inteIllgently and
scientifically according to the principle
of protection.
The Payne AIdrich tAr1h Il approved
as a revenue producer. The worn Of
Senators Lodge and Crane ia praised,
and Lodge u endorsed for reelection.
The direct nomination system Is de-
cIared to be all right and ought 70 be

and its tributaries since its inception.
The question of centralizing the
forces of the church which hereto
fore have been conducted as societies
affiliated with the church. but with
their business policies under the sep
arate control, is one which faces the
followers of Congregationalism all

WORD royal"
SUPPRESSED
Offensive to Government In
Control Of Portugal
LISBON IS AGAIN PEACEFUL

Explosions In Secret Tunnels of
Monasteries to Satisfy the Public
Feeling Against Monks and Nuns
Does Not Extend to Secular Clergy
Rigid Censorship Over News Re-
iatlng to Anti Religious Movements
Lisbon, Oct. 1.-THE transforma-
ton of the country into democracy
manifests itself on every hand. The
word royal" In connection with pub
lie buildings, theatres and ether ss-
Establishments has been entirely sup
pressed. Official documents begin:
In the Name of the Republic" and
end with Directing and fraternity"
The privileges of the nobility have
been abolished and the equality of
religious sects proclaimed.
Each day apparently adds to the
stability of the republic. The mem
bers of the new administration assert
that adherence to the new principles
has been given by many outlying
towns and districts. Openly there
are no royalist troops to oppose the
forces of the Republicans, and Lis
bon, after two days of bloodshed and
a further brief period of disorder, is
quite as peaceful as 1t was weeks be-
fore the rising took place. 1t is un-
derstood that all the officers who aid
ed the revolution refused offers of
promotion, affirming that they had
done only their duty to the nation.
Senator Barreto, the new war min
lister, says that the killed and wound
ed in the revolution number under
300. The bodies Of DR.. Bombarda,
who was assassinated by an army
lieutenant, and Admiral Refs, who
committed suicide, are lying In state.
The collins are covered by Republican
flags, but no religious emblems are in
view.
Arrests Of disguised and fleeing re-
ligionists continue. The discovery Of
secret subterranean tunnels at the
monasteries set afloat rumors that
many monks were still hiding under
ground, awaiting a favorable oppor-
tunity to emerge and continue the
fight against the new regime.
To satisfy the crowd the military
initiated subterranean explosions, and
in one instance went so far as to dig
trench to locate the suspected tun-
mel.
AS was the case at the time Of the
Barcelona nots, the popular feeling
seems to be restricted to the monks
and nuns, and does not manifest 1T
self toward the secular clergy.
More than a score OF nuns have
been wounded, some of them fatally, |
and II is reported that several have
been killed In the storming of Catho
lie converts in Portugal by fanatical
mobs of Republicans and anti-cleri
calls. More than 400 nuns, herded
together like sheep and guarded by
soldiers, are held in Lis
bon to be transported out of the coun-
try.
The most rigid censorship over news
relating to the anti-religious move
nent is being exercised by the new
provisional government.
