The News From the Stores

The relation of the merchant
to his public is much like that of
the newspaper man to his audi
ence.
The public or at least the femi-
nine end of it, picks up the news
paper with as much eagerness to
learn the news of bargains and
of style as to see what the army
is doing in Texas.
The merchant who does not
respond to this demand with a
good story about his offerings
and values, meets the same fate
as the newspaper man who does
not know a good piece of news
when he meets it on the street.
When advertising fails to at
tract, it is usually because the
writer failed to make it newsv.
In this spring season there is q
human interest story in every
retail business, a story of the
lleeting caprices Of style, of
shrcwd bargaining by which the
merchant has protected his Gus
toners, of overstock that help
family income go farther.

SEEKS TO RESTORE POWER
DEMOCRATS TRY TO RECONSIn
ER DIRECT ELECTION MEAS
URE.
Attempt to Strike Out Bristovy Armand
ment Beaten by Detection OF Clark
OF Arknsas.

Washington, June 13.-Strenuous
Democratic efforts to secure senate re-
consideration Of the direct senatorial
elections joint resolution on account
OF its inclusion of the Bristow amend
ment for federal supervision tacked
TO the house measure by the senate
last night were defeated on a tie vote
After long discussion Mr.. Reed Of
Missouri moved to recall the resolu-
ton from the house for the purpo
of reconsidering the vote by "
1t was adopted. The motion was
80 to 33. Senator Clark of Arkan-
sas voted with the Republicans. 1t
was his vote yesterday which made
possible the adoption of the Bristow
amendment.
Today's debate was precipitated by
Senator Bacon of Georgia, who ar
gued that Vice President Sherman
had no right to cast a deciding vote
On the Bristow amendment yesterday,
such right being confined to ordinary
legislative business. Those opposing
Mr.. Bacon argued that the vice presi-
dents constitutional authority to vote
in case Of a tie was absolute and
unequivocal.
Although the Republicans Of the
house voted today to support the
Bristow amendment to the joint reso-
luton passed by the senate last night
providing for direct election Of sena-
tors, the Dem ocratic leaders of the
house insist that they will refuse to
accept 1T and that the senate again
must vote on the provision. Rep
resentative Underwood, the Demo-
cratic leader, said the action of the
house in voting down a similar amend
ment providing for federal supervisor
would indicate that the resolution
would have serious opposition in con-
ference.

yesterday morning, lying on top of a

asleep at the time that he was seen
here. The train was through
freight and only stopped here to get
water, hence he was not seen by any
of the train crew. The body was
found by negro woman and she re-
ported the matter and the body was
taken on to Kings Mountain and will

SAYS PROTECTION NOT NEEDEn
Democratic Member, u Manufacturer
ATTACKS Tariff System.

Washington, June 12.-An attack
upon the protective tariff system by
an American manufacturer, who
claimed to have studied labor and
manufacturing conditions in various
countries Of the world, held the close
attention Of the House for two hours
today. Representative William G..
Redfield, of Brooklyn, a new Demo-
cratic member, manufacturer of
machinery and long connected with
export trade, declared to the House
that American manufacturers are
abandoning the protective principles
as unnecessary, as they develop more
scientific developments of their busi-
ness.
THE protective tariff has simply
enabled American manufacturers 20
sell at such high prices that they have
not studied their own conditions
closely" said Mr.. Redfeld. "They
have relied on Government support
rather than upon close MANAGEMENT,
Its effect has been II stimulate the de-
velopment Of plants until they are
now so large that products must be
sold abroad. In this condition the
manufacturers no longer want to pay
the high prices necessary for material
under a protective tariff"
Mr. Redfield declared that instead
of foreign labor being cheaper Ameri-
can labor is really the cheapest in
the world. that from personal investi-
CATION in many parts of the world. he
knew that no labor produced as much
product. in proportion to the wages
1t received as Americans.
He said the American iaboring man
only wants II be freed from old re-
strictions and outgrown systems.
Mr.. Redfield acknowledged the
protective principle was good for the
producer at home. in some few ways"
THE American tariff board is
worthless unless empowered to call
for the cost sheets Of the factories en-
gagged in the line Of manufacture 1t is
studying" said Mr.. Redneld. "Give
1t that power and what howl goes
up. The truth Is that often the Ameri
can cost Of production is lower"

BEATS WIFE TO DEATH.
Iaie OF Barbarous Cruelty Told at
Coroner's Inquest Held at Spartan

Spartanburg, June 14.-Because
she objected to her husbands selling
whiskey, Mrs. Mary Lawter, who re-
Gently came to Arlington in a remote
section of this county, from near Sa-
luda, n. c., was so severely beaten
by him with a hickory stick that she
died from the effects OF it, according
to the finding of the coroner's jury,
which rendered this verdict at the in
quest held by Coroner j. S. Turner
Tuesday evening: I'VE, the Jury.
find according to the evidence that
Mary Lawter came to her death from
whipping at the hands of Andy
Lawter, her husband"
Lawter was at once arrested and
committed to Jail. AS the alleged
whipping occurred in Polk county. n.
c., the authorities Of that county have
heen notified, and Lawter will be held
here until the sheriff Of Polk county
comes for him.
The witness told a tale of bar
barous cruelty on the part Of Lawter.
He whipped his wife several times,
they said, and once seized a gun and
tried to kill her, but was restrained.
Mrs. Lawter finally left him, saying
she would live on dry bread and
water before she would live with her
husband and take the beatings such
as he had been giving her. She went
to live with her sister, Mrs. Lucy
Owens, at Arlington, and it was at her
home that she suddenly died Tues
day morning. The most severe
whipping had been administered two
weeks ago. Broadus Lawter, her g.
year-old son. testified at the inquest:
My father whipped my mother
with hickory as big as fishing pole
while she was making up the bed. He
got the gun three times to shoot moth
er with. Ben Garrett kept father
from shooting mother"
Tildye Hendrix. Mrs Lucy Owens
and w. E. Owens, the latter's hus-
band. testified that Mrs. Lawter told
them she was beaten because she OBJ
jected to her husbands selling whis-
key and having it in the house.
DR.. w. F. Brockman, who perform
ed autopsy, testified that he found
Mrs. Lawter had been enciente. An
examination Of her heart showed it to
be normal, but there was a small clot
or blood on which the physician said:
1T drifted to the right side Of the
heart, thereby stopping instantly the
hearts action, death resulting. l be-
lieve some injury to this mother while
in health has caused such an abnor-
NAL condition to exist"
Solicitor J. c. Otis said tonight that
although Mrs. Lawter died in Spar
tanburg county and her husband was
arrested here. Lawter would have to
be tried in North Carolina, since it
was there according to the testimony,
that the beating was inflicted.

exonerated l2. H. Addy, the primary
nominee of having committed any
wrong, and presented Fl. 4. Adams
for offering bribes ID secure afidavits
and George E, Caughman for per-
jury. The finding OF the grand jury
is as follows:
That one II. 2. Adams did offer
bribes to certain parties as an induce
ment for them TO sign certain Of the
affidavits now before US, and that D.
III. Price and A. P. Jumper are the
witnesses to prove this fact.
I'VE also find that George E.
Caughman has committed perjury by
swearing to a certain affidavit now
before us, that Bron D. Shealey. A.
3. Jumper j. Il. Taylor and ]. AnseI
Caughman are the witnesses to prove
this fact.
We, therefore, recommend that
bills of indictment be preferred
against these parties, charging them
with these violations of law.
I'VE also conclude from this in
vestigation that E. H. Addy should be
eXenerated from the charge of par
tlclpaung or engaging in any irregu-
larities in the conduct or manage
ment Of said primary election for
said magistrate, or in any manner
Violating law and rules governing
said election"
II. Il. Adams is one of the largest
