4. D. WATTS IS COLLECTOR.
The Pig In the Poke Seems TO Have wlg'
glei Out,

6sVu Vuse
Washington, June 27-Alston D
Watts, collector of internal reve-
nue. for the western district of
North Carolina, this is the new
title of the popular North Caro-
linian who represents Iredell
County in the State Senate and
who has been acting during this
session of Congress as clerk of the
Senate Finance Committee, Of
whi,h Senator Simmons is chair.
man. He was nominated and
confirmed today.
The nomination of Watts was
sent to the Senate this afternoon
and, contrary to the usual custom
of the Senate, was confirmed few
minutes later. When the news
was telegrsphed him at the FL
nance Committee room. Mr..
Watts was incredulous, as the
nomination had not come in with
the first batch of names received
this morning from the White
House, but came later.
When asked what he ha6 to say,
Mr.. Watts replied: II have no
hard feelings against anybody and
am very grateful to my friends"
Since the recommendation of
Watts was made by Seator Over
man and concurred in by Sentor
Simmons a vigorous and relentless
effort has been made to block his
nomination. 1t was reported that
E. ]. Justice, who is considering
entering the contest for the United
States Senate against Senator
Overman, led this fight. Colonel
Watts was charged with being q
reactlonary and with having de-
feated progressive measures in the
State Legislature.
Another effort to block him
hinged on his having opposed
President Wilson in the pre-con-
vention campaign. The enemies
of Mr.. Watts intimated that the
recommendation OF the two North
Carolina Senators would be ignor.
ed and that President Wilson
would consult with a memt or of
his Cabinet about the distribution
of patronage in the State.
frequently in these dispatches
your correspondent has cited inoi-
dents which showed that President
Wilson would follow the advice of
the two Senators, and strongly in
timated that Colonel Watts would
ultimately be named. Today the
President finally reached the case
and justified these predictions.
Mr.. Watts announces that he
will Immediately resign from the
State Legislature. In the event
the Legislature is called in extra
session, . new election will have
to be called to fill the vacancy.
Should there be no extra session
this will not be necessary, as he
has already served through the
regular term.

NEGRO ATTEMPTS HOUSE BREAKING.
China Grove Awakened UnseasenahIy and
Catches Night ProWIer.

OoivHGo Ni6ui TIuWIGls
Sunday night between / and 2
O'Clock Harrison II. Peacock was
awakened by q noise at one of his
windows. On investigation he
found that some one had pried off
the window strips and was remov-
ing the sash when, he was scared
away. The neighbors were awak.
ened and search begun. 1t was
found that the marauder had gone
toward Salisbury, but later was
seen going south on Main street.
When told to halt he refused to
do 80 and was fred at with a shot.

phone Office being near. the oper.
stor got busy and called up the
people to be on the lookout on
South Main street.
John T. Deal, q mail carrier,
armed with shotgun, stepped out
just as the supposed thief was
passing. He was told to malt
again but failed to do 80 until he
could dodge behind telephone
pole. There he reached for his
hip pocket. About this time J. R.
Brown, the jeweler, having heard
Mr.. Deal calling, rushed on the
scene with large Swiss rife. The
noise of the clicking of this was
too much for the man and he sur
rendered. Deputy Sheriff Kim
ball then placed him under arrest.
On searching him nothing was
found IN the way of q weapon but
razor. He was taken to Sails.
bury and jailed to await trial.
Later Mr.. Peacock found that
some one had entered his kitchen
and dining room and appropriated
everything eatable. The presump-
tion is that the same man, finding
the door from the dining room to
the house locked, went out and
borrowed John Cooper's axe and
tried TO prize open the window.

person.
The man was Negro, gave

The preliminary trial of Ever

cows at s4.25 to $3.50. Today's supply

The merchant went up to his room,
and placing his jewels near the bed
he lay himself down to rest. He was
almost asleep when the door of his
room flew open and the little dwarf
with the red mantle and fiery eyes
entered. The merchant started. The
dwarf approached the bed, his eyes
cleaning in the darkness. He stood
for time looking at the merchant,
then he lay his hands on the case of
jewels. The merchants anger kindled
and he uttered a fearful oath.
The dwarf began to grow!
The merchant babe him to go with
more profane words, but at each word
the dwarf increased in size, and be-
came more dreadful in form and
feature.
Help" shrieked the merchant.
''help." At last his cries awoke the
house. The dwarf, now a giant, with
difficulty rushed down the stairs.
The collier and his wife now appeared.
What have you done to our homer"
cried the collier. you have not been
thinking holy thoughts. You have
made him to grow to the demon he
was of old. We had loved him down,
he had become smaller and smaller
because of our righteous lives and we
hoped finally to see him disappear
altogether"

jewels and went away.

knocked.

He entered. The family had tuned
the wonderful musical instrument
and were knealing down to pray. The
merchant knelt with them, then he
listened to hear the door open. But
the room was still, and instead of the
dwarf there came, as it were, a
beautiful light into the room.
The merchant looked up. There
was a glorious face forming in the
shadows and as the collier prayed it
grew more and more distant and at
last it came and lowered over their
heads covering them with golden
light and its glistening wings. 1t
was the face of an angel.
''Stay with US we pray you,' said
the GOLFERS wife, There is nothing to
