A BREACH OF
PROMISE CASE
Prominent Citizen Charged With
Trihing With a Widows
Affections.

For some time it is alleged one
of our prominent citizens has
paid more or less attention to a
young and beautiful widow of
this town, forgetting, or at least
not needing the advice of the
immortal Mr.. Weller to his son
Samuel to beware of the vid-
ders."
He now claims that he was not
attached to her, but however,
that may have been the widow
became attached to him, and he
seems to have lost interest in the
matter, she has attached his
property, which is a form of at
tachment he does not enjoy.
The result is that he finds him
self the defendant in a first class
Breach Of Promise Case and his
questionable attitude toward the
widow will be given an airing in
the near future.
The parties in the case are SO
prominent that it is feared nc
court room will hold the vast
crowd DESTROYS of attending the
trial, so it will be held in MurrelI
Hall, Central College, Tuesday
evening, Jan. 18th, under the
auspices of The Ladies Guild OF
the Christian Church, for whose
benefit the proceeds will be de-
voted.
In other words, it will be a
Mock Court trial and it promises
to be one Of the most enjoyable
affairs of many years, as a large
number Of our leading people vii
participate in the proceedings.
The committee having the triaI
in charge have engaged Col. A
v. Newton, the well-known law.
yer-lecturer of Worchester
Mass, to attend to the details
and personally conduct the en-.
tertainment.
Col. Newton has had remark.
able success in conducting SINH.
lar entertainments, and without
doubt the Breach Of Promise
Trial will be here, as elsewhere
an event long to be remembered
with pleasure.

NEW YORK'S POLICE HAVE
A MONEY-MAKING MACHINE.

New YcrG's crime curiosity shop,
which is located at police headquar-
tiers, gets some queer tools of the un-
derworld. Probably the most curious
thing now in the possession of the pro-
perty department is a "mney-making
machine" and despite the fact that a
child ought to detect it as a fraud, it
fooled many. and others like it were
sold before the takers we're caught.
The machine, composed mostly of
tin, is about two feet high, one and a
half feet wide and a foot in depth. AT
the ton is a. cover which a. be re-
moved. and an inner compartment is
lined with black velvet. On each side
there is a small storage battery con-
nected with a toy dynamo in the bot
tom of the machine, while other wires
connect with switches a small red
electric light and an automobile gauge.
The dupe who is anxious to purchase
a machine to make money easily is
shown the continuance and hen asked
which he would like to see made, 81, 81
or SIS bills. He makes his choice, and
then, while a confederate diverts his
attention for a minute, a new 81 is
placed in a compartment in the cover
and hidden by a piece of tin covered
with velvet to match that in the ma
chine, and held in place by springs.
The operator. who has noted the
number of the bill, then informs the
| victim that he has made 81 bills up to
a certain number, that which he an
nounces being one figure under that of
the concealed bill. Then he takes a
piece of paper of the exact size of a
bill and puts it in developing tray,
into which he pours what are supposed
to be chemicals. The liquids, n
doubt, are colored water, though the
names on the bottles never-would APP
pear in a laboratory. When the pa
per has been thoroughly soaked it is
wrapped in tissue paper to deaden the
sound which might be made by the
falling false bottom, put in the ma
chine, the eover put in place and the
machinery started. The hand on the
gauge moves, the machinery buzzes,
and after the various switches have
been used to heighten the effect the
red light is made to burn, showing
that the new money has been made.
Then the springs in the cover are
touched. and as it is lifted off the soak
ed paper has disappeared and nothing
but the brand new 81 bill With the pro-
per number upon it is to be seen.

KICKS ENGINE OFF TRACK.
In a Duel With a Locomotive a Mule
Named General Carranza Won
the Bout.

General Carranza, a bucking mule,
owned by James E. Drumm of Upper
Augusta township, Northumberland
county. Pa, literally kicked a locomo-
tive off the tracks. The mule. har-
messed to a covered wagon, in which
Mr.. and Mrs. Drumm were riding, was
crossing the tracks here when the
mule suddenly stopped and commenc-
ed to kick and rear.
A train was coming and the engineer
could mo- get it stopped until the
wagon was struck, but only lightly.
The mule kicked the cowcatcher and
the locomotive jumped the tracks. A
derrick was needed to replace it, while
General Carranza retired unhurt.

PROSPERITY IN THE FLESH.

This is the time of the greatest pros
perity in all the history of the nation,
even if there is the p~essimistic Hughes
trapsing around the country telling
the people that it is to pass, that it is
only of the temporary" brand, a mat
ter which is only guess work with Mr..
Hughes. Not having the empty dinner
pail with which to lambast the minds
of the public the next best thing which
Mr.. Hughes finds at hand is to con-
struct a DOGGY all of his own, and give
to the people the Lamentations of
Hughes by prophesying that prosperity
is but a transient guest. that tomor-
row it will HE away.
But Mr.. Hughes should just get out
among the people of North Carolina
and see what the present day prosper
ity is doing in this State. In the city
and in the country there are evidences
to be seen walking around IN the
streets and over the fields covered with
abundant crops which show what won
derful things this temporary prosper
ity'' is doing for the people of North
Carolina. as it is for the people of the
other States.
A visit to any town in which there is
ar assemblage of people gives evidence
in the flesh that this is a State of pros
perity. At Asheboro on Saturday last
there was a gathering of the people to
hear an address by North Carolina's
next Governor, Thomas W. Beckett,
and the audience which greeted him in
the courthouse was one which spelt
prosperity in clothes. in walk, in the
very expression of the countenance.
1t was a body of men and women
which showed that there is money
abroad in Randolph county, and Ran
dolph county is not the exception.
Well dressed men and women were to
be seen as the membership of the
crowd that heard Mr.. Beckett speak, it
being prosperity in the flesh offered in
evidence. As. Mr.. Beckett looked out
over the crowd he could indeed set
forth the condition of the country as
being reflected by Cotton roosting in
the tree tops, tobacco climbing the
mountain peaks,and wheat tangoing
with the stars" It is because that
these things are so that as we see men
and women in assemblages, as we See
them walking Or riding. at home or on
visits. we see prosperity in the flesh.
That is real prosperity, and Mr..
Hughes can't whistle it down the wind.

BIcaSe Has Big Leads ii
South Carolina Primary

Returns from the statewide primary
Tor state officers held in South Carroll
ma Tuesday indicate that a second
primary will be held between Cole L.
Blease, former governor, and Richard
/. Manning, present incumbent.
The election brought forth various
surprises, in n contest of great state
-Widd interest centering principally
upon the spirited contest for governor.
in which Richard 1. Manning of Sum-
ter, was looked upon as a sure win
ner. AS the day waned and the votes
were being counted it became evident
that Blease was again coming to the
front@with a great amount of strength.
At three O'Clock yesterday morning
with practically every county in the
state heard from the vote for he three
leaders of the five candidates for gov
-ernor stood:
Blease, 1885.
Manning, 1892.
Cooper, 25,051.
In the second primary between
Blease and Manning, two weeks from
now, it is a matter of conjecture as to
what percentage of Cooper's vote will
swing to Manning, but it is openly
conceded that the Cooper votes will
not go to Manning in their entirety.
For other state officers the indica-
tons were that Al. Bethea, lieuten-
ant governor. had been nominated
over DR.. E. G. L. Adams, his opponent;
Sam T. Carter was apparently nominal
ted for state treasurer over D. w. Nc
Laur'n and William B. Dove seemed to
be certain of the nomination for secre-
tary Of state. For railroad commits
sioners the indications were that an
other primary will be necessary with
James Cansler and Albert S. FAINT as
eontenders.
Other state officials were unopposed.
Sam ]. Nichols, the incumbent, was
overwhelmingly nominated for con-
gresham from the fourth district,
doubling and TRIPPING both his oppo-
nents in every section of all counties
Of the district.
