Death of q Former NeWberrian.


Mr.. George Edward Coulter died
last week at his home in Newton, N
c.. at the age of about so years. He
was born and reared near Smyrna,
this county, and when young man
worked at Leavell's marble yard and
lived on the residence place of his en-
ployer. While living in Newberry he
married at Newton, bringing his bride
to his home here, where they resided
two or three years, after which they
went to Newton to live, living there
ever since, at which place Mr. Coulter
for a great many years was deacon
in the Presbyterian church, and was
also a member Of various organiza-
tions, among them the orders OF Odd
Fellows and Junior United American
Mechanics, having organized the lat
ter organization at Newton. Besides
the deceased's family in Newton and
brother Henry in North Carolina.
Mr.. Coulter leaves number of other
some living in Newberry.
He was known as man of fine repu-
tation and character, as one who at
tended strictly to his own business,
letting the business of other people
alone, characteristic altogether too
rare in this rapid age. >

THE IDLER.
X r q . 4

Mr.. Idler: I wish you would please
say for me in your columns that the
only way the superintendent of streets
. will ever get even respectable coun-
!. try road on that block in Caldwell
. street in front Of Mr. Frank Hunters
. and Mr.. Longs, will be for him to
{ scrape up and cast away everything
that has been put there for the past
, three years, and then let it alone, for
it seems that every time anything is
done to it, only makes bad matters
worse, the last work done there was
only just half right, the sand was all
right, but sand and cinders do not
make good roads It is mud in winter
and wet season, and dust when dry. 1t
is possible, however, that barrel Of
crude oil properly applied as soon as
it dries out would make the present
material do, that is the only remedy
can now see. Other than casting it
away. Tis a great pity to have one
of our prettiest blocks 20 dreadtully
disfgured. Don't you think so.
r%'... A Taxpaying Citizen
I certainly do. I passed along that
street one time not so long ago Just i
after rain and I remarked, to my +
self, that if I lived along there I /
would report that street to Uncle Pink !
Bradley as nuisance and detrimen-
tai to the health of the citizens and a
menace to the morals of the commu /
nifty. Seems to me that a number of
years ago this street was macadamiz-
ed, but the macadam must be some
two or three feet beneath the black
mud that has accumulated. The COM
ment of "a Taxpaying Citizen" is re-
ferred, with my commendation, to Mr..
J. Monroe Wicker.

Editor Wade Harris, of the
Charlotte Chronicle, has declar-
ed his belief in the railroad pro-
ject of Col. S. A. (South Atlantic)
Jones, and these twain are having
a regular love feast. In The
Chronicle Col. Jones certainly
has won a powerful ally. Col.
Jones and Col. Harris will make
a strong team and the mere fact
that Col. Harris knows
more than a little about railroad
matters-has faith almost wins
us to faith in the project, but
we fear that even that strong
team will have uphill work in
persuading the citizens of some
counties that it is their best inter
ests to vote bonds for the road
at least until they are healed in
the matter of good dirt roads.

The agitation for the repeal of

Carolina law by which a father
is given the right to deed away
the custody Of his children,
brought to light by the case now
pending in the Supreme Court of
South Carolina wherein Mrs. B.
R. Tillman, Jr., is suing for the
possession of her children, who
were decided by their father to
Senator B. R. Tillman, finds its
counterpart in a law now on the
statute books in this State. There
is also a deed on the records in
the register of deeds office ir
this county where the custody Of
child was transferred by deco
made by its father. An agitation
is now prevalent in South Car
DINA for the repeal Of the law il
that State and it seems to be u
to the North Carolina Legislator
to repeal the one on the statute
of this State. Charlotte News
1t will be a surprise to man
people to learn that while critics
ing South Carolina, this Stat
stands in the same line. 1t is
be hoped that the nextLegislatul
will lose no time in repealir

In the United States Senate
Monday a noise by the name of

protested long and loud against
loaning government tents for
the use of Confederate veterans
at their annual reunion in
Mobile, Ala. in April. He inveigh-
ed against men in rebel" uni
form being permitted to occupy
government property, or the
rebel" flag being permitted tc
float above it. And then when
the measure came to a vote every
blessed Senator, Republican as
we'll as Democrat, voted for it eX
ceptHeyburn, whose negative vote
was uttered in a loud and de-
fiant tone", according to the dis
patch relating the incident. Well
we'll. That is one of the thing.
that hurts no one but the maj
who INDUCES. Hepburn certain
ly has done enough to make hi
State heartily ashamed of him
but it deserves no better fo
sending a noise like that to tn
Senate.

COW ME-

Col. S. A. Jones, of the Trans
Continental Railroad, writes the
Charlotte Chronicle that he does
not think Congressman Goodwin
is getting a square deal. Col.
Jones says that he expects to
cause the expenditure Of good
many millions of dollars in the
district Goodwin represents and
he thinks that "a great mistake
will be made on the part Of those
who are interested in dcep-water
work for Wilmington to lose
him." He says that Congress-
man Goodwin has decidedly made
good, belongs to the class cf
practical, steady. hard-work-
ing" Congressman, and has got
his line in the Treasury. 1t is
undoubtedly true, as The Chroni-
Gle remarks, that Mr.. Goodwin has
done good work in Congress, and
The Chronicle adds, THE trouble
is that he belongs to a district
where the congressional itch
thrives in all seasons and under
all conditions, and this particular
disease is far more troublesome
than the hook wurrum. Thrue
fer yez. That particular sort of
itch does thrive in this district
off years and on, and while the
light holds out to burn" the
smallest candidate may hope.
THERE'S no question, though, about
the fact that Mr.. Goodwin ha:
done some good work, and he
knows the ropes and is going tx
be hard man to defeat, too.

the local Federation Of Labor, which
adopted a resolution calling upon all
labor u%nionists and their sympathizers
to abstain from eating meat for a pc
Rod of n month as a protest against
the high prices of that article Of food.
Thousands of these buttons have been

In Pittsburg, where the boycott
against meat has grown to large pro-
portions, pledges were distributed on
the streets, reading:
"We, the undersigned, pledge our
word of honor that from Jan. rs and
continuing for a period Of thirty days
therefrOm we will buy no meat of any
kind. If at the expiration of the said
thirty days there is not a material re-
duction in prices we further pledge
ourselves to abstain for sixty or nine
ty days"
In Boston the boycott was inaugu-
rated by the formation of small clubs,
the members Of which agitated the
matter at mass meetings called to pro.
test against the high prices and en-.
larged the movement in other ways.

concerning the best eastern maple sor
street planting. 1t may surprise east
erners to find that it is the opinion of
all the best authorities that the Nor
way maple makes a superior street
tree in comparison with American spe-
cies. After two or three years from
planting it usually becomes a shapely

this abstinence is On the expertly pre-
pared substitutes will be recommend

In Cleveland, n Of the first cities
to begin the boycott, over 100000 per-
sons have signed the mo meat
pledges, and the legislature has taken
the matter up for investigation. Over
10000 people in Cleveland have also
signed petitions against the eating of
eggs until the price has dropped from
4S cents a dozen retail to 25 cents.
In Rochester the protest against the
high prices of meat was started by an
endless chain of postal cards request
ing that no meat be used in sixty days.
Each card bears the request that two
duplicate cards be Immediately mailed,
and in this way the boycott has spread
rapidly.
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago,
San Francisco and other towns and
cities all over the country are in the
boycott. Congress also has the mat.
ter of high prices in hand, and resolu-
lions by Senator Elkins and others
calling for an investigation have start
ed the ball rolling, and a thorough in
vestigation will be made. Investiga
lions are also demanded in half a
dozen state legislatures.
The boycott idea to reduce the cos
Of living had it's origin in Washing
ton. 1t was given it's impetus by the
effect of a boycott on the coffee com
bine of Germany.
The milk trust is also to be probed,
and the agitation in this direction has
resulted in the reduction in price of
milk in New York and some other Sec
tons Of the country of from 1 to 2
cents per quart. Also beef, pork, eggs
and butter have fallen in price in sew
eral sections. It has recently been
ascertained that $4,000, 1000 worth
Of foodstuffs is placed yearly in cold
storage to be held, it is alleged, until
the prices could be obtained. There
are at present about 100000 entire
animals held in storage.
Legislative action to prevent this
state of affairs in the future is now to
be taken. At Washington a bill has
been offered in congress already for
bidding the retention Of meat, fish,
poultry, butter, eggs, oysters OF other
food products in cold storage for more
than six months. Supporters Of the
bill assert that it's passage would
mean an immediate ending Of prices
fixed to suit the food kings without
relation to natural conditions.
A similar bill has just been offered
in the assembly at Albany, and it is
reported that a legislative committee
will visit New York to secure testi-
mony regarding the cold 'torage con-
ditions.
