Primary Election for Fourth Class
POStmaSfers.

Primary elections for the selection
of fourth-class postmasters are pro-
vided fer an amendment to the post
Office approximation bill which the
Senate Committee on Postoffices
Thursday added to that measure. The
consideration of the bill was COM
pleted by the committee, but on &C
count of the necessity of gathering
information relating to some of the
changes, the measure was not report
ed.
The primary election was suggest
ed by Senator Bristow, of Kansas,
and as agreed to il will apply only
to fourth-class postmasters and will
be optional with the Postoffice De
partment whether the system shall
be put in execution. In that event
it authorizes the holding of primary
elections and when such elections are
held it is made obligatory upon the
Department to appoint the person re-
ceiving the highest number of votes
among the patrons of any given post
office.-Statesville Landmark.

TOTAL FINES AGGREGATE SOL
OO7.OO.
Bath Tub Trust and Officials of Com
panies Found Guilty-Fines Must
Be Paid by March /, or Defendants
Will Go to Jail.

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 15.-Judge
Clarence w. Sessions, in the Federal
District Court to-day imposed fines
ranging from one dollar to $4,000
on the fourteen individual and thir-
teen corporation defendants, convict
ed yesterday in the trial of the So
called bath tub trust for criminal
conspiracy in restraint of trade.
The fines totalled $51,0O7, and
they must be paid on or before March
1. In the case of the individual, if
the fines are not paid before that date
sentence not exceeding six months
in the Detroit House of Correction
was ordered.
There are twenty-seven defendants
in all, of which fourteen are indi-
viduals.
In passing sentence Judge Sessions
said that the Department of Justice
had urged Imprisonment for Ahrens,
Torrance and Dawes, of the Standard
Sanitary Manufacturing Company
He explained the fines, as imposed
upon them, by saying:
Although l am firmly convinced
that they were the dominating in
f1uence in bringing about the effect
iveness of the conspiracy, must take
other things into consideration. The
case has been tried once before, be-
fore an able judge, for whose opinion
I have the profoundest respect, and
he ordered the dismissal of the
charge against those three men. They
preferred, however, to stand trial
with the rest. While I differ with
the former Judge in opinion, / must
take into consideration the chance !
may be mistaken, and must act &C.
cordingly.' The fine against their
company, the Standard, was the larg-
est of all.

Mp. JOHNSON COMMITS SUICIDE
Farmer Loses Mind After Losing His
Mule.
(Smithfield Journal.)

On last Wednesday morning Mar
shall P. Johnson, a well-to-do farmer
of Elevation Township, committed
suicide near his home by hanging
himself to cherry tree. He is said
to have gone one about $50 o'clock
saying that he was going to feed his
hogs and build a hog pen This is
the last time that he was seen alive.
About o'clock his body was found
hanging to a cherry tree. His hat
was found hanging on the end of one
of the poles with which a hog pen
was braced, and judging from the
surroundings, it seemed that he had
tied one end of rope to limb on
the tree and then climbed upon the
hog pen and tied the other end
around his neck and jumped off. His
feet were touching the ground but
his neck was broken and he had
evidently been. dead for quite lit
tie while when found.
1t is said that his mind had been
affected for several months. This
Hdu Uceu especially AollCcdUic SiASc
last summer when he lost a valuable
mule This loss seemed to prey upon
his mind until for time it appeared
unbalanced, and he had never fully
recovered from that trouble. He was
a son of Henry M. Johnson, a promi-
nent farmer of Meadow Township,
and was about forty-five years old.
He leaves a wife and seven children.

MRS. WINSTON KILLS HERSELF
Wife of Judge r.. w. Winston, of Raj

Wife of Judge r. w. Winston, of Raj
eigh, Meets Tragic Death at Phila-
delphia Hospital.
Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 1S.-Mrs.
r. W. Winston, the wife of Judge
Winston, of Raleigh, N. c., and the
sister of an Episcopal bishop of that
State, leaped from the eighth floor of
the Jefferson Hospital in this city late
this afternoon and was instantly
killed.
Mrs. Winston had been a patient
at the hospital here fer several weeks
suffering from a nervous affection
and according to the physicians at the
hospital she was never left unguard-
ed She was subjected to periods of
Authorizations and had frequently
threatened to end her life and in
structions were given to the nurses
never to leave her alone for a mo-
ment.
Just before evening, while the
nurses were changing details, Mrs.
Winston was temporarily forgotten,
and although the nurses had only
been out of the room for less than
five minutes, the time was seized by
the southern woman as the best OPP
portunity to take her life. She
reached the window and before an or
derby in the hall, who heard her
throw up the sash and came to see
who was in the room, could stop her,
Mrs Winston dashed to death 100
feet below. Her body rolled into Mo-
ravian street, where a pool of blood
remained as the only evidence of the
tragedy.
The tragic death of Mrs. Winston
came as a great shock to people in
Raleigh, where Mrs. Winston has SO
many friends. She was a great
church worker and one of the leading
spirits in the Woman's Club and will
be greatly missed. Judge and Mrs.
Winston moved to Raleigh from Dur
ham a few years ago. Mrs. Winston
before her marriage was Miss Sophia
Horner, daughter of late Bishop Hor-
ner. of Oxford. Mrs. Robert G.
Strong. of this city, is sister of the
deceased.

"In the Superior Court with Judge

sisted that he had not ordered whis-
key for the purpose of sale and when
pressed to give a reason for having in
his possession more than forty pints
of the stuff, said: My reason for
ordering the whiskey was that
might have it for my wife TO use in

for good bath and it is lots cheaper
than buying alcohol Judge Cline
