DEATH CAR" NOT FOUND
IN S0UTHERN MARYLAND
Detective Warren Returns
From LeonardtoWn With
out Results.

detective Harry Warren was in Leon
ardtown. st. Marys county, Nd, Sunday.
conducting an investigation in reference
to the recent death of Charles Satterfield.
who was knocked down by an automobile
near Pennsylvania avenue and 18th street
southeast and fatally hurt His mission
to the southern Maryland county was to
make Inquiries about a supposed DAM
aged automobile that was recently shipped
from there to this city to be repaired.
Inspector Boardman learned of the car
having been shipped here, and the de-
tective was sent there to make an investi-
cation. although five residents of the
vicinity Of Hughesville already had been
held for the action of the grand jury as
having been occupants of the so-called
death car
The detective reported to Inspector
Boardman that the Leonardtown car
could not possibly have been the one that
ran over and killed Charles Satterield.
Friends of the -everal young men ac-
cused of having been occupants of the car
at the time the accident happened think
the visit to Leonardtown indicates that
the pJEce are not altogether. satisfied that
the Hughesville automobile is the one
that inflicted the fatal injuries to Satter-
field.
Resent Action of Authorities.
There is a strong element of resent
ment expressed by the most substantial
citizens throughout the lower counties of
Maryland at the actions Of the Washing
ton authorities in. this case" wrote a
Hughesville business man to The Star.
''The accused men are all in excellent
standing down here, and have the full
confidence and sympathy of the entire
community.
Without the slightest direct evidence
that an automobile was responsible for
the death of Mr.. Satterfield the accused
men We're taken to Washington and held
under bail, the premium on the bond
cost them $3.50, In addition to attorneys
fees and oher expenses, while nothing has
as yet developed which would indicate
that the victim had been struck by an
automobile or wagon. or had been held
up and murdered by a highwayman In
this lonely part of the town..
The Washington police department
seem to be strongly impressed by the
fact that some southern Maryland auto
mobile is responsible for this unfortunate
mans death. and these lower counties
are being thoroughly searched to secure
additional evidence. Investigations have
been in progress at La Plata, Hughes
Vile and other automobile centers, which
may produce any evidence bearing on the
identity of the guilty parties in this
case.

We wish to present to the State,
and especially to the Democratic
party, as a candidate on the State
ticket. at the election to be held in
November, 1912, for the Office of
Lieutenant Governor. a man whom
we esteem, and one whom we con-
s;der admirably fitted for any office
within the gift of the people of
North Carolina
In order that the people of the
State. and especially those who by
right Of franchise given them, have
it in their power to say who shall
occupy these high places Of trust
and honor, we wish to write these
facts in regard to this man, his life,
his qualifications, and his fitness fnr
the position within their gift. This
is no stereotyped campaign matter
sent out by an aspiring candidate to
be paid for by the line or space. but
the honest expression of respect and
appreciation which we feel for a
man whom we have known from
childhood and whose life among us
been an open book.
Walter Eugene Daniel was horn
in Weldon, N. c., August IA, 1859
Being for years the only living child
of parents Of ample means he was
given every advantage nee ssary to
develop an already bright mind, we
see him at an early age student Of
Wake Forest College, from which
institution he graduated at the age
Of eighteen years with the degree
OF Master Of Arts and also with the
first honor Of his class. Upon his
return from college he began the
study of law in the office Of Captain
W. H. Day, one of the first lawyers
of North Carolina He afterwaf ds
entered the law school of Judge
Geo. V. Strong, of Raleigh, and
after standing a successful exami-
nation before the Supreme Court in
Jure 1880 his license for the practice
of law was withheld until he became
twenty-one years old in the follow
ing August.
In January, 1881. he began the
practice of law in Halifax county.
with his office in Weldon, and has
lived al his life among his own peo-
pie IN his native town and county.

The Robes0n Plan.

The farmers of Robson county
held a meeting Saturday. at which
they agreed not to plant more than
60 per cent of their land in cotton.
A feature of the meeting was a
,eech by Mr.. A. w. Mclean. As
reported in The Robesonian, he de-
clared that IF a man could control
the time merchants of the South he
'uld control the cotton acreage. "
The landlord may tell his tenant
that he wants him to plant so and
so and everybody else may preach
reduction of cotton acreage, but if
the merchant to whom he looks for
supplies tells him he mus. plant so
much cotton or he gets nothing
from him-there you are; in the
cotton goes, just as much as the
merchant says. The lien law is re-
sponsible, too. for labor conditions.
said Mr.. Mclean, and everybody
knows he was right again. A negro
with house full of children and no
land can get more credit than man
who owns a thousand acres of land,
and as long as this condition stands
you can't do anything with them.
The matter having been put to the
merchants, they agreed to organize
the Cotton States Merchants and
Business Mems Association, to be
composed of all the merchants of
Robson county. This association
will not sell credit supplies to farm
ers who will not agree to plant 40
per cent of their land in crops other
than cotton. If two things happen
Robson will have a smaller cotton
crop next year These two things
are: If the farmers will stick to
thei: 60 per cent and the merchants
to their 40 per cent. The plan may
succeed in part, but we fear it will
fail as whole.-Charlotte Chron-
ical.

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED.
Badness is too Generally Considered
Sign of Advanced Age.

A bald-headed person does not
have an equal chance with one blessed
with a healthy head of hair, because
badness is too generally accepted as
an indication of age. Many large
corporations have established an age
limit, ard refuse to take men over
35 years of age as new employees.
Probably 65 per cent of bald head
ed people may regain good head
Of healthy hair if they will follow
our advice and accept our offer.
We have remedy that we positive
ly guarantee to grow hair on any
head, unless the roots Of the hair
are entirely dead, their follicles
closed, and the scalp has become
glazed and shiny We want people
to try this remedy at our risk, win
the distinct understanding that un-
less it does exactly what we claim it
will. and gives satisfaction in every
respect, we shall make no charge
for the remedy used during the trial.
We know exactly what we are
talking about, and with this offer
back of our statements no one should
scoff, doubt our word, or hesitate to
put our remedy to an actual test.
We want every one in Scotland
Neck who is suffering from any scalp
or hair trouble, dandruff, falling
hair, or badness, to try our Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic. We want them to
use it regularly-say until three
bottles have been used-and if it
does not eradicate Gandruff, cleanse
and refresh The scalp, tighten the
hair in its roots, and grow new hair,
we will return every cent paid us
for the remedy for the mere asking.
There is no formality expect ID, and
we exact 10 obligation from the
user whatever.
We are established right here in
Scotland Neck, and make this offer
with a full understanding that our
business success entirely depends
upon the sort of treatment we ac-
cord cur customers, and we would
not dare make the above offer unless
we were positively certain that we
could substantiate it in every par
ticular. Remember, you can obtain

only at our store-The Rexall Store.

Put Your Money in a Bank.

1t is good advice which Colletan
County, S. c., exchange gives in
urging farmers to start bank ac-
counts this fall. no matter how small
the amount left over after the
years debts are paid. We quote:
IF one keeps money in his pocket,
it is likely to go and he will never
know how it goes; so though you
have only ten dollars in your pocket,
go to one Of our banks and start a
bank account. To have money in a
bank will give one a feeling of inde-
pendence nothing else can give. Do
not think that because you have only
five or ten dollars to start an account
the cashier will not want your de-
posit- Any cashier will gladly well
come you as a depositor if you have
but one dollar.
We hope thousands Of our readers
will follow this excellent counsel.
Having bank account Q) encoura-
ges the saving habit, (2) dignifies
the farmer by making him more of
business man." (3) provides a
better system of paying out money
than specie payments, (4) helps the
community in which one lives, and
(5) makes it easier for the depositor
to borrow in case borrowing in
stead of depositing sometimes be-
comes advisable.

overwhelmingly Republican, but
knowing the peculiar endowments
of the young attorney, the leaders
Of the Democratic party in 1882
urged him to become their candi-
date for the Legislature, and so he
entered politics as leader of the
"forlorn hope" and although he
was defeated he no doubt planted
seed in that campaign which helped
to redeem Halifax county from the
rule Of ignorance ard corruption
with which it was cursed for so many
years.
In spite of his defeat he was elect
ed the next year by the Board of
Magistrates as solicitor of the Infe-
rior Court and held this office for
two terms.
In 1890 he was made attorney for
the Board of County Commissioners
and held this position until Janu-
arv, 1895.
In the revolution in county and
State politics which begun just pre-
vious to this he was elected Solicitor
Of the Second judicial District in
1894, being one of the few Demo-
Gratis elected, was reelected in 1898,
and again in 1902, resigned the Office
just before the election in 1906, and
at that electi n was elected to
| the State Senate from Halifax
county.
In that body he was Chairman of
! the judiciary Committee and took a
prominent part in the legislation
concerning railroad rate regulation
and was afterwards of the attorneys
for the State in the litigation with
the railroads which followed the re-
duc'ion of passenger fares and
freight rates.
At the special session Of 1908 he
favored the compromise that had
been agreed upon between Governor
Glenn and the railroad companies
and took part in the solution of this
question.
So much for the political career of
our candidate from which we see
that he is no novice in the political
arena, but a man we'll armed and
equipped, able to guide and direct,
and as Lieutenant Governor and
President of the senate he could de-
eide all questions with cool judge
ment and wise deliberation, no mat
ter h.w difficult the problem to be
considered.
AS a man and citizen his life has
been exemplary in the highest de-
gree. From young manhood, men,
ber of the Baptist Church, he has be-
come a leader in its councils and a
liberal supporter of its every enter
prise, and, charitable and kind, he
! has always been ready to help every
worthy cause. while large hearted
hospitality is dispensed with lavish
hard t. all wilc enter his home.
! Since the revolution in politics
heretofore referred TO Halifax
county has recovered her anti-bellum
prestige IN many respects and is TOW
one of the largest, wealthlest, most
progressive and most strongly Dem
ocratic counties in the State, and
while she has sons like Mr.. Daniel
worthy to become successors to the
illustrious statesmen Of the past, she
has had no representative on the
State ticket since the war.
In urging Mr.. Daniels name for
the position of Lieutenant-Governor
we feel that it would be only just to
