WHILE PLAYING, GOT
BEANS IN HIS EARS

The Greensboro Messenger says:
While playing in a barrel of beans,
the little five-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Daniel Fulkerson, of the
Stanley neighborhood, had a beal
lodged in each ear, and it was found
that an operation would be neces-
sary to remove the beans. The little
boy suffered considerably from the
closing of his ears, and he was
brought to the city hospital, where
an operation was performed, and
the beans removed from his ears. He
was taken to his home yesterday.
and when last heard from was some
what better.

NO. 43

Taft in his speeches pledged the peo-
pie that a revision downward was
meant. Taking the cue from him,
all the other Republican speakers
promised the voters they would re-
wise the tariff downward.
Now these same speakers are COM
ing before the people, confessing
they deceived and betrayed them,
but promise if they are once more
elected, II they are given another
chance, that they will not deceive
and betray them again, but will re-
wise the tariff downward.
The shame is on the voters if, af-
ter having been once betrayed, they
let the same men betray them again.

GREAT INTEREST
IN THE 1910 POOL
GreenRiver and Warehouse
People Have No Definite
Information.
The Greensboro Messenger says:

The greatest interest is being
manifested in the action of the board
of control in regard to the PROPOSE
ton that is before it, for the selling
of the 1910 pool of the Green River
Tobacco Growers Association. De-
spite the fact that the officers of the
Association persist in the assertion
that the deal has not been closed,
there is still strong and constant
rumor to the effect that the tobacco
is to go to the American Tobacco
Company and to James Hodge, of
Henderson.
1t was stated on the streets Sat
urday afternoon that one of the men
present at the meeting of the board,
in talking OF the proposed sale, said
that during this week an announce
ment would be made that the board
had acted favorably on the offer of
SO down to IS for the leaf and Tugs,
and SO for the trash in the pool and
that the action of the board would
be submitted to the growers them
selves for their ratification or rejec-
ton.
The Home Warehouse Company
held a meeting on Saturday morn
ing, but declined to give out any
statement as to what they had done
while in session. 1t is understood,
however, that the Home Warehouse
company has received a number of
propositions for its pool, although
the pool has not yet been closed.

trusts, which are a menace to hui
man endeavor and to the prospect
ty of the poor man. Amend the laws
so as to adjust the differences. Re-
wise the laws to the old-fashioned
doctrine of a tariff for rev.
enue only-just sufficient to run the
Government. The tariff was not re-
vised downward, as promised by the
Republicans. This is found out by
everybody who buys anything to eat
or wear nowadays, in the increased
prices on same.
The tariff ought not to be a party
question, but be made the cause of
all the people. There is much po-
litical or party difference of opinion
on this question nowadays. as prov
en- by the fact that many prominent
old-line Republicans are disagreeing
with their party colleagues in the
matter.
Judge Settles speech was not a
pOllllCdl III du6t DuI JuSI q Pioiig SOh
sentative statement of facts in their
broadcast sense. At several points
he was heartily applauded. He APP
pealed to the voters of all parties to
re-indorse him for a Just and hon
est administration of his duties. He
has yet to hear of a man who COM
planned that he has not been just
and fair in all his decisions. He
promises the same conduct in the
future as in the past.
Judge Settle closed his splendid
speech by again reviewing some of
his official acts. He was, from the
start, in favor of the farmers pool
ing act, and used his personal infiu-
ence with an undecided judge to get
him 10 coincide With mis- colleagues
who were equally divided upon this
important question. He has taken
the lead in judicial matters and has
written many opinions, the justice
and equity of which have always
been recognized.
Judge Settle spoke for an hour
and a half and all who were pres
ent felt that it was profitable to be
there.

And Fighting for Life in
Quebec Woods.
MEN STRIVING FOR A RECORD
For Long Distance Sailing in
the Air Meet With Many
HardShipS.
BELIEVED TO BE STARVING

Montreal, Oct. 23.-It is the opins
ion of August Blanckerts, aid of the
balloon Germania, that Allan r.
Hawley and Augustus Post, of New
York, pilot and aid, respectively, of
the America H., which left st. Louis
last Monday and from whom no
word has since been received, are
fighting for their lives through the
wilderness of Northern Quebec. Mr..
Blanckerts arrival here yesterday
from La Tongue, Quebec, some dis
lance from the spot where the Ger
mania landed on Wednesday. He
and Capt. Hugon Won Abercorn had
a desperate fight for their lives af-
ter coming to earth. They were
tiTii ty-two hours forcing their way
through an unbroken forest to the
railway line with only a few crusts
of bread for sustenance. Their
clothing was torn to shreds and they
were almost in a state of collapse
when they struck the railroad.
There they met a construction
gang and from them learned that a
large yellow balloon had preceded
the Germania over practically the
same route by half an hour. The
railroad men told Blanckerts that
the other balloon was very high up
and maintained that altitude until
she passed out of sight toward the
Ungava wilderness.
Col. Theodore Schaeck, pilot of
theHelvetia, met Mr.. Blanckerts here
Saturday night and after comparing
notes found that the Germania had
gone 100 miles further than the
Helvetia. The Dusseldorf H., ac-
cording to unofficial estimates, ex-
ceeded the distance of the Germania
by about seventy miles.
The Germania came to earth at
11:15 a. m. Wednesday. At that
time there was still considerable bal
last on board and the big balloon
could have kept in the air for sew
eral hours longer, but Capt. Won
Abercorn feared they were passing
entirely beyond the lines of civiliza-
ton and it was this that prompted
him to land. Col. Schaeck, of the
Helvetia, came down for the same
reason. He had enough ballast to
continue for forty-eight hours, he
said.
1t had been generally believed that
the balloons could not have been
kept afloat later than Wednesday
night, but the evidence of Won Alb
ercorn and Schaeck has exploded
this theory and If the America II.
kept them company on the journey
into the Far North, her crew may
still be struggling through the al
most impossible forests of the IN
gava district, many hundred miles
from succor.
A dispatch from Kuskisink indi-
Gates that Lieut.. Hans Gericke, pilot,
and Samuel F. Perkins, aid, of the
Dusseldorf H., also endured severe
privations. They landed Wednes-
day about sixteen miles north of
Kiskisink, but did not reach that
place until yesterday afternoon.

DAVID B. HILL
DIES At HOME
In the Country, Near Al
bany, New York.
HAD REACHED THE AGE OF St
Career in Politics Began in
1870 and Continued Till
Parker Campaign.
ILLNESS WAS ONLY TWO WEEKS

David B. Hill, ex-United States
Senator and former Governor Of
New York, died at 3:45 O. clock a.
m. Thursday, at Wolfort's Roost, his
country home, near Albany, N. Y.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Hill
was seized with a bilious attack
while at his law Office in that city,
and although his condition was not
considered serious at the time, his
physician advised him to remain at
home until he recovered. A cold
developed and a few days later
alarming reports of his condition
were circulated.
These reports, however, were de-
MED by friends. In fact, the pa
tent appedred"to be improving until
Thursday night, when he suffered a
sinking spell, which resulted in his
death.
David Bennett Hill was born Aug
ust 20, 1849. When seventeen years
old he entered the law Office of Col.
John l. Lawrence, of Havana, N.
Y, and when twenty-one was admit
ted to the bar. A little later he was
chosen City Attorney of Elmira, la
ter being elected Alderman and still
later Mayor.
He was elected to the Assembly
in 1870 and again in 1871. During
his first term in the Assembly he
made his memorable fight to abolish
contract convict labor and during his
second term he was a member of the
judiciary Committee with Samuel J..
Tilden, they being the only Dem
ocrats on the committee, which had
the task of investigating the alleged
scandalous and corrupt conduct OF
certain New York City Judges.
For many years Mr.. Hill was a
member of the Democratic State
Committee and in 1876 and 1884
he was delegate to the National Con-
ventions which nominated Tildeh
and Cleveland respectively.
In 1882 he was elected Lieutenant
Governor on the same ticket with
Grover Cleveland and following
Cleveland's election to the
Presidency Of the United States Mr..
Hill became Governor, subsequently
being elected for two terms. He
was Governor for seven years.
In 1891 Mr.. Hill was elected Unit
ed States Senator; in , 1894 he
was once more the candidate of the
Democratic party for Governor, but
was defeated by Levy P. Morton, his
Republican opponent.
Mr.. Hill was the candidate of the
New York Democrats for the nomi-
nation for President in 1892, but
Grover Cleveland was renominated
for that Office.
In 1904 Mr.. Hill was credited
with being the political sponsor of
Alton B. Parker, who was nominated
for the Presidency by the Democrat
ic National Convention at st. Louis.
Following that election, Mr.. Hill
announced his permanent retire
ment from politics and since that
time he had devoted himself solely
to the practice of his profession.
