The old warrior was not dsmayed

For thirty years he had been absolute
dictator in the politics Of Missouri.
His word was final, and his w!uiles

the remaining years OF his life set
steadily against him. Yet at no time
IN his career does Benton present a
more inspiring figure than when, with
his back to the wall, crowded on every
side by foes, he continued to battle for
the principles he believed in. liy com

FOR n protective duty on lead, which
was largely produced In Missouri In
this he made the mistake that has
been made by so many senators and

oppose protection, but vote for pro-
lection on the products of their own
states, thereby placing themselycs in
the position Of not being able to sue
ccssfully question the justice OF tho
demand Of those in other states for a
larger share of protection for them

The Peoples Law.

Now that our words may not
be constructed as an attempt to
interfere with The right OF our

that the taking OF q human lifr

severly condemed. Such prideis
false such "honor' is savager,,
The private bully in pereonal
brawls is generally the man who
cringlrs in battle. The knock
and drag artist and the pistol
toting braggard is inrited to ac.
tion by the fear OF ridicule and
the blindness OF brute fury; the
real soldier faces death from a
sense of duty and his upholding
face is moral courage.
This came moral courage caus.
es juries to waive sentimental aside

legation to uphold and enforce
the law. When the same men
who would join in alynching per.
nit their feelings to be worked
up to the worked up to the point
of settling free a man whose
hands are reeked with the guilty
blood of his neighbor, it IN a sad
day for those who realize the val.
ue of human life.
Let juries remember that they
hold in their hands, Tor che time
being the sacred scppter OF that
priceless product of the oges-the
common law. When juries WELD
the scepter manfully, justly, none
will grow impatient and oil will
pay due obedience and respect.-

Rider and Horse Captured.
Lcnoie News.

Lcnoie News.
Last Thursday a one-armed
stranger came to Mr.. Il. L. Mel
sons livery stable in this place
and said he wanted to hire a
horse to ride to Patterson q n d
back-saying he would he back
that night. Mr.. Nelson let him
have u horse and thought no
more about it until the stranger
failed to return. However, he
supposed the man was detained
in some way and would be back
the next day. Friday come and
went and no news was heard
from the man or the horse. A
telephone message to Patterson
revealed the fact that no such
party had stopped there.
Then Mr.. Nelson got busy and
sent a telegram to all points he
could reach in that way; in North
Caroline and East Tennessee, in
the direction in which the man
was supposed to have gone.
The result was that the man
and horse were both secured at
Elk Park late Saturday. The
man had gone there and put the
horse at a liverv stable while he
went to look after some matter
in town and when he returned to
the stable, he found an Officer
who took him and The horse in
charge, in compliance with one o.
the tele9rams sent.
Mr.. Clarke Smith, son OF Sheriff
Smith left Tor Elk Park, by way
of Edgelnont, Sunday, and is ex'
pectei to return here with the
man today where the stranger
will have to answer the charge o
attempted theft OF u horse.
While the mans name is not
known, he is thought to be a
party guilty of some other sha
dy transactions in East T-nnes

TO The People Of Eoith Carolina:

The North Carolina Historical
Commission is making a collec-
tion OF the letters and papers OF
Gov. q. B. Vance, with q view to
their preservation and publica-
ton. Through the cooperation
OF Mrs. Vance sev eral thousands
OF such documents have been SEC
ured, making one OF the most i'm
portant manuscript collections
ever made by the State.
But. unfortunately, this collec-
ton contains but lew of Govern
or Vance's own letters, most Of
those in the collection being let
tprs received by him. 1t is most
important that the publication
should contain as many OF his
own letters az possible. The His
toIical Commission, therefore,
takes this means of requesting
those who posse.s s letters ofGov-
ernor Vance to turn them over
to the Commission, either for
permanent preservation or for
copying. No letter or paper is so
unimportant or trivial but that
it may have it's place in such a
collection; and, we think, the per
sonual use will he made of any
letter or paper. The publication
hae the sanction OF Mrs. Vance.
Nor IS the publication a private
enterprise undertaken Tor thepur
pose of making money. 1t will
be issued hy the State as other
State printing, and its purpose
is to pprpetuate tla fame OF
North Cardinals hest beloved
son, to extend the reputation OF
the State and to make available
for the historian the material for
studying her history during it's
greatest epoch.
ANY person, therefore, who pos
sesses a letter or other document
of Governor Vance will render a
service to his memory and to the
good name of the State hy coop
Grating with the Historical Com
mission in this work. Due credit
will lie given to all who help to
forward this work. All rommun-
icatiOns should he directed to the
