Killing Resulted From Crap Game


Dresden, Tenn, Aug. Three
young brothers named Alexander
after having slain the son of a
neighbor in the course of a picnic
near Kenton, Tenn, held the pur-
suing crowd at bay until they
made their escape, but were after
wards captured by deputy sheriffs
and placed in Jail at Kenton,
where they were threatened with
lynching by Infatuated neighbors
last night. The affair grew out
of crap game. Robert Sim
mons, Jr., having won all the
money, mounted his horse to ride
away, when one Of the Alexan-
ders it is said, seized the briddle
rein, another stabbed Simmons
and when he fell to earth the
third Alexander rushed up and
hit him with a club. The picnic
kers rushed to the rescue, but the
three Alexanders drew revolvers
and got away for the time.

BRYAN STRAIGHT GOODS. )

i In q statement published in hi
paper, the Commoner, this week
Hon. William J. Bryan declares
| that those democratic Legislators
who voted to elect VIM. NJ. Lor
inner United States senator should
be read out of the democratic par.
Ity. We quote:
" Any democrat who voted for
Lorimer for patriotic reasons
ought to be retired to private life
and kept there long enough to
learn what patriotism means. It
is almost as dangerous to have a
fool IN the Legislature as a knave.
A democratic legislator who could
be convinced that he was perform
ing a patriotic duty in voting for
Lorimer could be persuaded to do
anything desired by lobby, pro-
vided the same patriotic argu-
ments were used. He is not fit for
any representative position. IT is
hardly safe to allow him to run at
large.
Turn them out. The party
cannot pause to defend those who
are guilty or who, if innocent,
have aroused suspicion which
can never be removed. /"
Mr.. Bryan always rings clear
and true upon questions involving
the integrity of his party, And he
is never afraid to go on record in
the interest honesty and fair deal
ing. If there is a pare man in
public life today William jennings
Bryan is that man. He adheres
to principle as the first considera-
ton every time and there is not
enough money in the United States
treasury to buy him for purposes
of greed or power. Believing that
public office is a public trust, Mr..
Bryan entertains extreme con-
tempt for the individual who
would barter away his manhood or
stultify his conscience by acts of
treachery and corruption. He has
been ablest exponent of the rights
of the toiling masses this county
ever saw. And while some may
differ from his In matters of pub
lie import no one can truthfully
charge him with participation in
an unholy scheme of any signifi-
canoe.
Believing in the innate honesty of
Mr.. Bryan we are not surprised at
the rebuke he administers to those
democrats so-called who cast their
votes for Lorimer in the Illinois
legislature. Of course they could
not have done so from patriotic
'easons. There was an interesting
of some sort or other
and Mr.. Bryan is entirely correct |
in the assertion that they are unfit
for any representative position,
even if they were citizens of brib-
cry cursed Pennsylvania.

The Wake county republican

"a county republican
EeounEentien was not one bit be
hind the noted democratic mass
meeting last May in the matter of
sensationlism In both there
were pandamonium and the rank
est disorder and both split, sepa-
rate factions being held by the two
factions. In this respect, at least,
the two parties get into the inn
pending campaign with an even
start, only the democrats have
had more time to heal their diff
ferences than the Republicans will
now have before the actul politi-
cal campaign is upon them.
It was the report of the COM
mittee on credentiaes that proved
the reef that split the party asun-
der. There were three contested
delegations, the majority Of the
comnitte standing out for the
delegates that would be favorable
to the endorsement of Congress
man Morehead for state chairman
and the majority Of the delega-
ton that would be controlled by
National G Committeeman Duncan s
interests. The convention adopt
ed the majority report 72 to A
and then proceeded with the nomi-
nation of set of delegates to the
state convention that would give
Morehead a solid vote from this
county for the Craftsmanship. The
!" Organization" forces under the
leadership. of Postamaster w. G.
Briggs, of Raleigh, demanded that
the delegates be appointed
through allowing each township
having as many as four delegates
in the convention to name one del
egate to the state convention.
They insisted that his would give
fail representative Of the wishes
of the republicans in the county
as to who should be state chair
man, and on this proposition he
demanded a vote by townships.
Both propositions were refused
and Briggs and his followers left
the hall to hold a convention of
their own in the Republican Club
hall. One time during the joint
session the lie was passed hotly
between Letser Butler, brother of
Senator Marion Butler, and Post
master Briggs. Again Briggs
was standing on a chair demand
ing to be heard and ex-Sherif
Ham Jones stood in front Of him !
for minutes shouting that he.
should not be heard, the chairman
being powerless to get order.
Another time a son of G.. M. Ber-
nard sprang at Postmaster Briggs
IN a most beligerent manner when
he mistook GESTURE of the post
master for an intended attack on
MS father, who was addressing the
convention in one of the most
heated moments. Now contends
ing DELEGATIONS will ge to the
Greensboro state convention and
there are two county ehairmen,
Lester Butler being chairman for
The original convention that held
for Morehead and Col. j. G. L.
Harris chairman for the Duncan
organization faction. Both
adopted resolutions endorsing the
rational administration Of the re
publican party through President
Taft and the congress.

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS IN
NORTH CAROLINA.

The Democrats of North Carroll
ma are beginning this campaign
with spirit pervading the party
throughout that is highly com
mendable-that means not only
that the party will retain the con
fidence of the people of the state
and hence continued victory, but
it also means that the best talent
Of the state is to be devoted to
solving the problems of the fu-
ture growth and development in
public affairs, and that whatever
there may be of faction in the par
ty is completely submerged and
subservient to the larger inter
ests of the party and the state.
At the Charlotte convention
there was a very striking disre-
gard of faction In the line up for
Associate Justice, and at the re-
cent meeting of the Democratic
State Executive Committee I'm.
Raleigh there was an absolute dis
regard of > it in the reelection
without single dissenting vote of
Hon.A.H. Eller as state chairman
Mr.. Eller is type of man in
whom the party honors itself in
uniting upon; well equipped for
hard work, with a deep interest in
the public welfare, and enthusi-
asm for Democracy-its princi-
pies as applied to the affairs of
our state government and as adj
vocated for the nation, and a gen.
tleman Of high ideals in all things,
The only ripple of conflict ap-,
pearing within the party lines is
the 9th district contest between
Clark and Goodwin, upon which
the state committee took initia-
tory action at its recent meeting,
and the personnel of the commit
tee which Chairman Eller has ap-
pointed to handle this delicate
contest is assurance that it will
be finally settled satisfactorily
and upon the highest considera-
tons of propriety and justice.
Ex-Governor Jarvis, Ex-Govern-
Or Aycock, A. c. Avery, ST., R. A.
Doughton and Theo. F. Kluttz,
ST., are names which guarantee in
advance a full confidence in the
of the findings which
they shall make after full investi-
cation.
In striking contrast with the
Democratic situation as outlined
above is the scramble now in pro-
gress In the republican party for
control of its machinery which
promises to eliminate in placing
the machinery of the party in the
hands of the best hated man in
North Carolina, Marion Butler.
So that, instead of the tinge of
humor given to the campaign two
years ago by "Mr. j. l.. Wood
cox, we have the prospects of
being RECALLED with a remembrance
of the stencil of Buffers fusion
regime to which has been added
his since discovered record of
treachery In having tried, while
in the employment of the state to
fix upon it responsibility for the
and repudiated carpet
bag bonds and who does not now
deny his connection with the syn
dictate which has been vainly en-
deavoring to hire the SOW
ereignty of some fourth class
state in an effort to force the state,
to compromise them. There is
sufficient consolation in this sit
uation, however, in the reflection
that Butler can't be many de-
gress worse than Adams, and that
the state will keep well out of
the reach Of either, Of them, "a

122 Years Today.

Cincinnati, o., Sept. 22.-CincinnatI
today attained the dignified age OF
l22 years and in recognition of the
fact there was general display of
flags on all public buildings. 1t was

Kentucky side of the Ohio river and
founded the village of Losantiville.
About a year later General Arthur

A remarkable statement was made
recently by General William Booth,
the head of the salvation Army. He
declared that he had never taken a
shilling from the army Golfers for his
own support. The army accounts. he
said were absolutely i'm the hands of
one Of the first firms Of accountants
in the city of London. A balance
sheet was issued annually and was
freely circulated. The members of the
army We're becoming more and more
the agents of governments and NUM-
cipalities in social matters.
The General then gave some inter-
esting statistics indicating the scope
of the Army's recent work. only
fortnight ago. he said. it's representa-
tives sent 200 pounds To Japan for the
relief OF sufferers by the foundations.
They had just entered Russia. and
were besought to start work in Man
churia. They were $500 separate So
cieties conducting their work in thir-
ty-two different languages. The paid
officers numbered 10000, the employ
ees 5000. and there yere 5000 officers
who gave their spare time and effort
for no remuneration. The army had
$4,000 musicians. In a single week
10000 indoor and 10000 outdoor meet
ings were conducted. with attendance
of 10000 in the one case and 100000
in the other; 10000 patients were
taken to hospitals, 100000 people were
fed. 10000 men were sheltered. and
$1,000 public houses were visited.
Last year $4,000 situations were pro-
vided for men, and the army furnish
ed employment-the best IL could-to
10000 men who would otherwise have
been voorhees,.
The extent and the vigor of the
Salvation Army are the more sur
prising in view of the fact that the or
ganization has been built up by one
man who is still alive and chief con-
ductor of its affairs. One reason why
il has flourished is undoubtedly the
confidence which il has in its veteran
leader, another important source of
strength being the enthusiasm of the
for their cause, which in a
very real sense is the cause of human
brotherhood. The major part of their
work consists in helping the brother
or sister who has fallen by the way
side. They have done more to amelio-
rate the condition of London's sub
merged tenth" than any other agency
in England And they hace stretched
out their lines and encircled the globe.
