charge specified in a warrant which
Deputy Sheriff Spanton took SATURDAY,
for the arrest Of James C. Cooper, north
OF Winsdor, but behind this are a series
Of charges of violence alleged to have
been used by Cooper to protect what
he claims was his property.
1t is alleged that Cooper laid claim
to land that was also claimed by
others and that men were sent there
for the hay by the other supposed
owners. Cooper protested their ac-
lions, according to the complaint, and
backed up his protest with a repeating
shotgun and rife. Then it Is alleged

BEGGAR FOR
MANY YEARS

Kenmare News: T. H. Kolbo tells a
good one this week, of a beggar in the
professional line, who has been on the
road for the past twelve years. Several
years ago while Mr.. Kolbo was en-
gagged in business at Lille. s. D., g.
strange but well fed looking individual
entered his store seeking aims. The
man put up the story that he had been
crippled caused by falling from a NOV
Ing train and was trying to obtain
means with which to start q res
taurant business. He was given aid by
our townsman and the man left the
store. Three years later, after Kolbo
had sold out at Lille and and moved to
Lake Preston with the same linn and
crippled looking condition, the same
individual appeared at the Kolbo home
with the same story. Mr.. Kolbo rec
ognized him Immediately, and in a.
very short time, the fellow had made
quick exit from the place. Not long
ago a man entered the Golden Rule
store here seeking aims and Kolbo hap
pened to be In the store. The stranger
looking sleeker and fatter than usual
was soon recognized as the same In
dividual, who had made the rounds
twelve years before at Lille and Lake
Preston in South Dakota. The fellow
was still seeking for funds with which
to build his restaurant, and accord
ing to his story, was still a sufferer
from the Injuries he had once received
Needless to say the fellow got a iust
bawling out from Mr.. Kolbo ana soon
made quick getaway from the
Goose-neck town. Kolbo is wonderIne
where that fellow intends to start his
restaurant.

The Senatorial fight is growing
very warm between the Kitchin and
Simmons forces in Rockingham Coun-
ty. The Reidsville Review and Web
ster's Weekly, both Democratic pa
pers, are at dagger's point even this
early in the game, and the militia
may have to be called out before the
belligerents are finally quieted. In
fact, the storm is brewing all over the
State, and there are promises of much
wool pulling before the next election
and it is all over the question as to
who shall draw the $500 salary
which carries along with it the priv
ilege Of sending out some free seeds!
That is all that it now amounts to-,
as the Senators from the South at
present are not fayoring laws that
would benefit Southern industries or
the farmers.

THE EVIDENCE Is AGAINST HIM.

In his speech at a picnic al David
son some days ago Governor kitchin
said that the claim that the tariff
laws meant one more cent IN the far
mers pocket was "tommyrot and by
pocrisy."
If the Governors claim is true,
then why is 1t that the farmer, in fact
the country generally, is more pros
porous under a protective tariff than
under free trade?
Every farmer remembers that when
the Democrats tinkered with the Ia
riff during Clevelands administra-
ton that cotton fell TO four and five
cents a pound, corn was only thirty
TO forty cents bushel, eggs were six
and seven cents a dozen and grown
hens sold for fifteen cents, and sweet
potatoes and peas could hardly be
sold at any price. Since the Republi-
cans nave ndu coHIiol VI TIC va
tons affairs they have enacted laws
to protect home industries, cotton has
sold as high as seventeea cents, corn
has sold as high as $1.z5 bushel,
anil has averaged one dollar BUSH
Ell: eggs have sold from 20 to 373
cents, grown hens from so to rs cents
a piece, peas have sold for $3.50 to
$3.50 a bushel and other farm prod
ucts have brought good prices in pro-
portion.
Isn't the evidence against Governor
Kitchin and his party?
