NEW YORK. June The stock mar
ket received another jolt in the enjoin-
ing Of the enforcement Of the higher
freight rates that were scheduled to go
into effect today. The announcement
that the President would consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of starting the machinery
of the legal department of the Govern
ment shook the holders of stocks, gave
the bears another excuse for raiding
with all the power that has come to
them through fairly gorging with sue
cess. But the action itself was even a
more powerful weapon 1t had all the
potency OF the old-time big Stick"
and its swish as it was swung over
Wall Street made it decidedly chilly and
uncomfortable for the bulls and warm
and pleasant for the bears. Though
gorged. they We're not stated, and the
manner in which they got after the list
was a caution.
The result was even a more serious
break than yesterday Moreover, the
brokerage and commission houses
brought out their trading cards and the
margin clerks began demanding more
margins on accounts where margins
were exhausted or seriously impaired.
And many holders of securities have
been so often called upon TO make good
margins that the orders to hquidate
were greatly increased by refusals 10

Altogether yesterday wasn't a good

strong a case the Government can make

Seek Rehearing in Pearlstine Case.

Albany, N. Y, July 5.-Governor
Hughes was asked to-day to give a
rehearing on his action in honoring
the extradition to Tennessee of A.
Shep Pearlstine, of Denmark, S. c.,
on a charge of embezzling $4,000
from Palmer Bros, of Charleston,
Tenn, and New Orleans, La.
S. G. Mayfeld, of Denmark, S. c.,
counsel for Pearlstine, informed the
governor that the original papers
were granted without opposition
through misunderstanding. He con-
tended to-day that Pearlstine was not
a fugitive from justice, claiming he
was not in Tennessee from November
1907, to May, 1909, the period COW
cred by the indictment.
The Indictment follows a business
transaction to corner the pea market
in several of the Southern States. The
governor of South Carolina refused
to extradite Pearlstine from that
State.
Gov. Hughes said he would COM
municate with the Tennessee authori-
ties and render his decision later.

Illicit Distilling Increases.

Washington, June 29.-Compis-
sioner of Internal Revenue Cabell re-
Gently gave orders dispatching eight
agents to Oklahoma, Tennessee and
North Carolina to assist in inforcing
the laws against Illicit distilling. Re
ports received at the bureau show the
great extent to which the business
has developed in these States Of the
South and Southwest which local pro-
hibition laws have relegated to dry"
territory. Mr.. Cabell says there is
more Illicit distilling now than ever
known before in the States referred
to. The field force has been increas-
ed to the limit Of the appropriation.
Roundups Of moonshine outfits are
frequent and a count kept recently
showed that five agents or deputies
had been shot in a period of sixty
days. The government officials labor
under considerable difficulty in max
ing arrests because of the Indifference
of the people in the localities af-
fected to act in the capacity OF in
formers or give practical assistance
in capturing the persons In the illi-
cit business.

Marriage Superstitions.

BLESSED is the bride that the sun
shines on
A bride should use no pins in her
wedding clothes and she should avoid
looking in the glass when she is COM
pletely dressed for church.
The wedding ring should not be
tried on before the service, and to
take it off afterward is unlucky.
If you marry in Lent you will
live to repent" May is an unlucky
month for weddings, and June and
October are especially lucky.
It is an old Yorkshire custom to
pour hot water over the doorstep af-
ter the happy couple have departed
in order to keep the threshold warm
for another bride.
When the bridesmaides undress the
bride they must be careful if she
have any pins about her to throw
them away. A single pin left might
cause her ill-luck. Reg

which is needed to complete the $5,-

position. While here Mr.. Hudson
conferred with Commissioner Watson
relative to several details of the ex-
position. During the past several
weeks, President Hudson has made
trips to Georgia, North Carolina and
Florida. He has secured the CO..
operation of many Of the commercial
bodies of the four States and has al
80 secured the necessary funds for
the display. Definite announcements

that the merchants of Columbia

MAN BURNED TO DEATH.
B. G.. Allison Meets With Terrible
Death on Top Of House.

Forest City, N. c., June 23.-A
young man enveloped in flames,
literally burning to death, was the
horrible sight witnessed by many peo-
pie on the streets Of Forest City Sat-
urday morning who were powerless
to aid him.
Mr.. B. A. Allison, young plumber
and timer, was working on the dome
of the McBrayer hotel, 100 feet above
the level of the street, using a gaso-
line burner. From some cause the
burner exploded, throwing the burn
ing liquid into the young mans face
and completely enveloping him in
flames. Throwing the burner from
the building, he slid from the dome
to the scaffold,, where he could be
seen tearing the burning clothes from
his body. He did not lose his pres
erce of mind for moment, but came
down the ladders to the ground un-
aided and with portion of his CLOTH
ing still burning. His face, neck,
arms and upper body were almost
roasted.
The doctors did all in their power
to relieve his suffering, but held out
little hope for his recovery. He was
carried to the hospital at Ruther-
fordton, where death came early
Monday morning.
He was a son of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
S. Allison, of Hendersonville. His
mother reached his bedside Saturday
afternoon, her husband following
Monday and the body was carried to
Hendersonvile for burial.
Mr.. Allison had been a resident OF
Forest City but short time, but by
his quiet unassuming ways, his close
attention to business and his sunny,
cheerful disposition, had endeared
himself to all and won hosts of
friends, who were shocked at his un-
timely taking OF. Many of his friends
were callers at the hospital and many
beautiful flowers were sent as loving
remembrances and tributes of respect
for the living and the dead.-Forest
City On. c. Herald.
