rage at his wife over some alleged
trifling domestic matter, Albert M.
Goodwin, a prominent, insurance man
of this place, Saturday night shot and
probably fatally injured his pretty
young wife with 32-ca1bre revolver
at their home. He then turned the
gun on himself and fired bullet into
his head. Neither are expected to
live. The couple have one small
child. Their prominence in the neigh

Carolina Association Lost Money.
The Charlotte Observers sporting
editor says:
.'Tbe developments toward the end
of the season in the Carolina League
tend to make it appear that the finan-
cial losses will exceed the record of
either of the two previous years and
have, by long odds, run deeper than
anybody expected. It seems now to
be fair estimate that the aggregate
loss this season will amount to sic. .0aa
to $4,000, with Spartanburg standing
at the head of the column in this re-
spect Practically all OF the clubs
have lost money, whereas few weeks
eco it appeared that some might be
able to pull out little ahead. Char

Inland Waterway Almost Reality.

Providence, r. l., Sept. "a free
inland waterway between Norfolk and
Beaufort and the Atlantic ocean, max
in. az inside passage around tie dead
ly Cape Hatteras, may be a reality
within a year.
Two steps will make this new route
around the graveyard of the sea"
possible. One is the completion of
the Beaufort cut, which connects
Pamlico Sound with the ocean with a
twelve-foot canal $50 feet wide. This
cut will be finished by December 1st-
The other step embraces the report of
the government engineers on cost and
routs, which will be followed by Con-
gressman John H. Small, of North
Carolina, asking Congress for an i'm
mediate appropriation to purchase the
link, connecting the Carolina Sound
with Norfolk.
Mr. Small has informed friends that
as soon as the engineers complete
their report he will introduce reso
luton in Congress to acquire the
northern end of the Norfolk Beaufort
link. This link will likely be the
Albemarle and Chesapeake canal. The
government engineers have alread!
favored this route in a former report
| The Beaufort cut, which opens thu
Pamlico Sound to the ocean, is min
miles long. Two years was requires
to dig it, and it cost $5J0,0O0. 1t i
$50 feet wide and 100 feet clear.
It is stated that the Albemarle an

Republican Campaign Book.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 3-Advance
sheets of the Republican campaign
text book, which is to make it's ap-
rearance next week, we're given to the
press today The humor displayed on
tie advance sheets leads to the be-
lief that the real text book will be a
comic affair, for instance, it is an
nounced that the text book is neatly
printed on Bible book paper" which
according to a local wag, shows the
desperation to which the Republican
campaign managers have gone.
One Of the jests is contained in
the announcement that the first page
of the text book carries quotations
from Lincoln, Roosevelt, Taft and
Sherman. 1t remains to be seen
whether the quotations from Taft and
Roosevelt are taken from their recent
denunciation of the Vice-President.
It is announced that the Republican
campaign book contains the Republi-
can national and Ohio State platforms
but makes no reference to the insur
gent platforms adopted in Kansas
and Iowa. which have found a cham
pion in Teddy. The advance sheets
state that there is no discussion oi
factional differences in the text book
and then proceeds to rap Senator Dol
liver and the other insurgents with

Wake Republicans Couldn't Agree.

Raleigh, N. c., SEPT. 5.-The Repub
licans of Wake county held a conven-
ton Saturday for the nomination of
county and legislative candidates, but
encountered such complicated condi-
tions in the effort to nominate candi-
dates that an adjournment was taken
for two weeks. The only nomination
make was C. B. Afford for the Senate
He and J. C. L. Harris were proposed
but J. J. Reynolds declared that he
and his friends were opposed to Har-
ris on the ground that he was not a
good Republican, really worked for
the Dem ocrats and has reared four
teen Democratic sons. This SO in
ceDsed Colonel Harris that he insisted
on having his name withdrawn. Then
Afford was nominated by acclamation.
A number OF names were proposed
for the lower house, but several de-
clined, and it was evident that conven-
tiion leaders were at sea, due largely
to failure to find independent candi-
dates to place oD the ticket as con
tempIated by leaders in special con.
ference last Saturday, August 27th
There had been a CAUCUS before the
conyertion this afternoon, when a
! ticket was agreed upon, but diseen
sions arose in the convention over the
very first nomination, Colonel Harris
having been agreed upon in caucus for
the Senate nomination.

Wake Man Buys Coffin Contemplating
Suicide.

Raleigh, N. c., Sept. 1.-The fact
that F. D. overly had gone to the un-
dertaking house of J. H. Brown Com
pany here and purchased coffin that
some feared he intended for his own
body after suicide, added to the fact
while imbibing too freely, gave that
young mans friends and employers
here considerable scare today. 1t
was early this morning that he ap-
peared at the undertakers and an
nounced that he wanted to purchase
a coffin. Ed. Brown waited on him.
He said the coffin was for H. D. Over
by, who he said had died out near
McCullers, and that the funeral was
to be this afternoon at Winsworth
church. The serious statement to this
0H0Ct was maze IN LnS ICCOIuS 1O-
quired by law to be kept by the un-
dertaker. He said he wanted the cof.
fin six feet three. Then he talked OF
getting one six feet and finally de
clared he and the man he wanted II
for were the same size and purchased
one five feet eight inches. 1t was or
dered to be trimmed up in a hurry
He was to call for it within an hour
but was not seen again until he cam'
by during the afternoon, being driver

Roosevelt Talks On Tariff.

Sioux Falls, Sept. 5.-President
Roosevelt Saturday broke his silence
in regard to the Taft administration.
He heartily commended one phase of
it, although he said nothing which
could be construed as reference to
the administration as a whole. He
confined himself to the work which
President Taft has done for the es-
tablishment of the principle of regu-
1ating the tariff through a commission
and to the Presidents success in con-
Quoting negotiations with foreign
powers for the application of the new
tariff law. Colonel Roosevelt also out
lined clearly his position in regard to
the tariff. He reiterated his belief in
the need of regulation of duties by
means of commission, and declared
that the tariff should be in the inter
ests of the working man, and not for
the benefit of a comparatively few
wealthy men.
"I believe in such measure of
protection as will equalize the cost of
production here and abroad. That is
as will equalize the labor COST said
he. 'I believe in such supervision of
the workings of the law as will make
certain that the protected industry
gives that difference to the men that
we are most anxious to protect, the
working men, and if 1 find it is moi
! giving it, I would take off the tariff
duty from that particular thing
Colonel Roosevelt made two speech
es on the tariff Saturday. The frs
one delivered at Sioux City, Iowa, con
tanned his references to the Taft ad
ministration. In the second spec a
made here late in the afternoon, h,
amplified his views on the tariff, de
claring that, although the Payne
Aldrich law had given rise to grav
dissatisfaction, the fault lies with tn
system under which the tariff law
were made rather than with the me
who make them.
1t was in the presence Of Senate
Doliiver and Representative Hubbard
of Iowa, and Martin, of South Dakota
that the former President made hi
: first statement concerning the Taft az
. ministration. Colonel Roosevelt chos
a State where the insurgent mcv
ment is strong in which to make HI
first remarks at any length concer
ing the tariff, and took the opportunit
= thus present to declare himself in r
gard to a phase of the administration
work which met his approval.

The Duke interests, acting in con-
junction with the promoters of the
Greenville, Sparatanburg & Anderson
Railway Company, the great South
Carolina interurban corporation, have
just purchased from the American
Pipe Company Of Philadelphia the
property of the Greenville Traction
Company, and the Greenvil1e- Elec-
trio Light and Power Company, which
included the street car and lighting
facilities of Greenville.
While nothing definite is known as
to the consideration of the deal, it is
said to be something in the neighbor-
hood CT s5OO,OoO.
The Greenville Traction Company
includes the street car system of
Greenville which owns IA miles of
trackage and a fine plant from start
to finish. The Greenville Gas, EIec-
trio Light and Power Company carries
with it the lighting facilities OF the

Yesterday morning about 5 o'clock
an unknown person entered the resi-
dence of Mrs. M. A. Morris, on Tar
boro street, and attempted criminal
assault, but approaching daylight pro-
badly frightened the man off.
Mrs. Morris was awakened proba-
bly, by the noise of a broken shutter
whereby an entrance to the home was
gained, and in the darkness Of the
night she could not tell whether the
man was white or black who told her
il she made any noise he would blow
her brains out. However, Mrs. Nor
ris struggled with the brute, who was
scared off,
| Mrs. Morris was alone at home dur
ing this awful experience. AS soon as
she reported the affair, soon after it's
occurrence, the, officials telephoned to
Tarboro for blood hounds, and two
belonging to Mr. ]. w. Sorry were
brought here by automobile and car
ried to the window entered, where
tracks were seen, but their work was
not considered sufficiently conclusive
to warrant an arrest.
The officials, however, are hopeful
of securing a clue to the perpetrator
of this shocking crime.
