auditorium.
Mr.. Taft's speech was one of the most
bitter and one of the most plain spoken
that he has made since he began to
answer tho charges of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt and to use hot shot of his own.
The President bluntly charged that Wal

supporter because the President refused
10 accept his recommendation for judica,
appointments. He declared that the op-
position TO him on the part of Dan Hanna
Of Cleveland came as consequence of
Indictments against Mr.. Hanna by the
Taft department of justice.
Mr.. Taft's appeals to the crowd for
n square deal and his attacks on Mr.
Roosevelt were cheered in emphatic
fashion. 1t was the most demonstra-
tive gathering Mr.. Taft has addressed
on his present trip.
Mr., Taft called the tariff views OF
Mr.. Roosevelt ridiculous and labelled
his scheme for tariff that would

WHEN THE SERPENT ENTERS
EDEN.

Commenting edtorially upon the
Sneed Boyce tragedy, the Kansas
City Journal of recent issue says that
the impulse which prompts the men OF
the country-partcularl of the so"th,
to take the law into their own hands
and slay the destroyers of homes, Is
a relic of the barbarOus age. The
Journal styles it the Sneed-Boyce
feud and says that the same spirit OF
barbarism throbs in the breast or
Sneed, or any other man who rights
a wrong of this kind as Sneed Las
done, that pulsates in the breasts or
the mountaineers of the Kentucky
or the Virginia feud district. No man,
says this writer, has the moral right
to redress a wrong, but that his only
recourse is the recourse given by the
law.
Had the words which appear in the
editorial of the Journal eminated from
some other source, had they have
dripped from the pen of writer hail
ing from one OF the cold-blooded
states where the crushing of the head
of the human reptile is just as much
n murder as though the slain had
have been one of the most upright
and irreproaChable of men, there
would have been no cause for wonder,
but coming from a writer and appear

CAPT. WYONT WALKS TO FAIR.
An Old Soldier Boy Will Walk From
Oklahoma to North Carolina.

Captain John T. Wyont left here
early this morning for Oklahoma City
to attend the Oklahoma state fair.
He will walk the entire distance.
Capt. Wyont is in his seventy-fourth
year, he was a Confederate soldier
and saw active service. He was a
member of The First North Carolina
regiment, Company X, Stuart's Cav
airy. After visiting the state fair he
will leave the capital about the 18th
of October to walk back to North
Carolina to visit his old home and
view the camp grounds of the six
ties. While the captain is growing
rather old he is very active and can
make better time on foot than many
men who are fifty years his junior.
Each day en- route Captain Wyont
will notify the Ardmoreite of his pro-
gress so that his friends here and in
Oklahoma City may keep up with his
progress.
