Double Decker Mental Anguish Suit.
Statesville Landmark

If Solomon had lived in North
Carolina in this good day he would
have found something new under the
sun in damage suits. The latest is
a double-barrel mental anguish suit
at Winston and the story runneth
thus, according to the Sentinel:
A telegram addressed to N. w.
Chappell was sent to the home of J..
NJ. Chappell in Winston. The latter,
according to the complaint, went to
the telegraph Office and told the op-
orators his name was j. M. Chappell
but he lived at the address to which
the telegram was sent. The tele-
graph people thought there was sim
ply an error of initials and gave the
telegram to ]. M. The telegram an
nounced the death of Mr.. Chappell's S
mother, whereupon he and his wife
boarded the train for Elkin and from
there drove ten miles into the coun-
try and found Mr.. Chappell's mother
alive and we'll. For this error Mr..
and Mrs. Chappell< are asking the
telegraph company for $4,000 each.
Meantime the real n. W. Chappell
in Winston, who didn't get the tele-
gram, did not hear o fhis mothers
death until after she was buried and
he, too, is asking the telegraph COM
pany for $4,000.

The Reidsville Review tells a story
OF horrible incident reported from
Caswen County. w. c. Crumpton
and w. E. Crumpton. father and son,
were arraigned for beating Robert
Crumpton, the aged father of w. C.
and grandfather of W. E. Crumpton.
The Review says:
The evidence was that the elder
Crumpton was seventy-five years old.
He was whipped by his grandson with
buggy whip; several scars were on
his back, but it is not known how
they came there; at another time,
while half-naked, the old man was
whipped by his SON; the old man died
short time after receiving this
treatment, but no one would say that
it caused his death. Statesville

Can Lie in Bed and Feed His Mules
Union Mans Invention.
Monroe Journal

Monroe Journal
Mr.. w. H. Sell, thrifty farmer
of Goose Creek Township, has in
vented a contrivance by which he can
remain in bed on a cold morning and
feed his mules at the barn if he wish
es And this is not lazy mans in
vention, either, fortMr. Sell is an en-
ergetic citizen. He lately built a
large new barn. Then he got to fig
uring on a feed arrangement. The
result is that he has a contrivance in
the barn from which wire runs to
his house. This he can yank hold of
when he jumps out of bed, turn the
feed in to the mules, and have them
ready to hitch up by the time he has
turned around a few times. The ar
rangement is something on the prin-
ciple of a rabbit box that the boys
make in winter. A trough holds the
mornings feed and the same trap
that throws the corn in drops the
fodder down. Mr.. Sell ought to work
out his idea well enough to have a
patent on it.

party leaders and members left for
Chicago to-day an a special train OF
ten cars. from the rear OF which in
electric letters was emblazoned Bull
Moose Special" The occasion of this
mid-winter political activity Is the
proposed solidification of the new
party and the making of plans for fu-
ture campaigns. Members from 9TH
er States are on the way to join in
the Chicago conference.
Colonel Roosevelt and his party
were cheered by a small crowd as
they left at l o'clock. Although the
Colonel had no comment to make
upon the situation, several members
of his party, particularly Oscar
Straus and Frank A. Munsey declared
that If the Republican party hoped to
rejuvenate itself it would have to be
by turning Progressive.
These sentiments were in refer
ence to the decision of the Republi-
can Governors Conference in Wash
ington to await another year before
taking steps to re-organize the party
with the hope expressed that Pro-
gressives would be brought back into
the fold.
Mr.. Munsey said that those at
tempting this task had big job on
their hands" He added that the
only way to achieve the union was
for Republicans to accept the Pro-
gressive platform and policies and
come into the party as formed. II
they did this. he saidy~the two parties
could be united.
Similar sentiments were expressed
by several others of the party.
More than a score of women were
in the party which took the train

Colonel Roosevelt Addresses Illinois
Legislature.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 9.-"Without
trafficking or dickering with the old
parties. fight to have our platform
principles embodied in the laws {ot
Illinois," was the appeal Colonel
Roosevelt to-day made to the newly
elected Progressive members of the
Illinois Legislature, to whom he de-
livered his first speech at the Pro-
gressive conference which opened in
formally to-day and will continue
over Wednesday. Besides pleading
with the Progressives to stand alone
in their fight, the former President
criticised the Republican organiza-
ton and said it was such a character
that mo honest man can be in it."
Formal opening of the conference
is not scheduled to take place until
tomorrow, but many Progressives,
both men and women, already are
here. The largest single delegation
to arrive to-day came from New York
on special train with Colonel Roose-
velt. The Colonel was greeted at the
railroad station with cheers and
shouts of, He can come back"
81 am very glad to have the chance
to come out here and say again that
we are in the fight to the end and
that it is folly for the Republicans
to waste time in thinking of any at
tempt to lure us back into the organi-
zation that they have made OF such
character that mo honest man can
be in it," Colonel Roosevelt said In
his talk to the Illinois legislators.
Progressive members of the Legis-
latures and of Congress have g. task
of peculiar Importance. They should
make good, as far as possible, our
platform pledges. Progressive men,
bers should introduce all measures
we promised in the campaign and
try as hard as they know to have
them adopted.
"Our opponents now are making
loud professions of the lip-loyalty to
principles, so make them
show up or back up They say
most of our measures are unconsti-
tutional. We are the heirs of the
Republicanism of Abraham Lincoln
and the Republicans who fought in
the Civil War. Lineoln's opponents
also said he was trying to pull down
the Constitution"
He then discussed at length the
compensation and the
law. "Our hope" he said,
that you will put into the laws of
Illinois a provision that IL the people
want certain laws, no official, no
Legislature or court shall
have the power to prevent them from
obtaining those laws"
