EARLY DAYS on the

derful resemblance to a friends
summer house where he had spent
many happy days. Home with all
it's endearing recollections came WV
idly before him and his scattered
thoughts were successfully occupied
with the past, the present and the
future. In this state he fell into
a kind of pleasing soothing revere,
which joined to the morning IA
tigue, gradually sealed his eyellds,
and unconscious of his situation, he
resigned himself to the influence
of the drowsy god. His sleep was
tranquil, and we can imagine his
feelings when he awoke about five
o'clock. All was still and silent as
the grave. With swift steps he
hurried back to the place where
they had breakfasted, ran to the
place where the men had made
their fire. All were gone, and not
a vestige of man or horse appeared
in the valley.
He was overwhelmed, his senses
almost failed him. He ran here and
there, calling out in every direction
until his voice became hoarse, and
then the dreadful truth was forced
upon him that he was alone In d
wild, uninhabited county, without
horse or arms, and destitute of
covering.
Having no other resource but to
find the direction his party had
taken, he set about scanning the
ground, and at the northeast point
of the valley he discovered the track
of horses feet, which he followed
for time and which led to a chain
of small hills, with a rocky gravelly
bottom on which hoofs made no
impression. Having lost the tracks,
he assembled the highest of the hills,
from which he had an uninter-
rupted view for miles around, but
saw no signs of the party, or the
least indication of human habita-
lions. The night was fast closing,
and with it's approach a heavy dew
commenced falling. The whole OF
his clothing consisted merely of a
gingham shirt, nankeen trousers
and a pair of light leather mocas-
sins, much worn. In consequence OF
! the heat in an earlier part of the
day, he had taken off his coat, in
tending to put it on later, and one
of the men had charge of his rifle
He was even without a hat, for ir
the agitated state of his mind, he
had left it behind on awakening
and had gone too far to think Of
returning for it.

and after pulling enough to place
under and over, he recommended
himself to the Almighty and fell

LOST IN THE WILDERNESS

LOST IN THE WILDERNESS
Ross Cox's party had purchased
altogether from the Nez Perces In
dams fifty horses to carry the goods
and baggage, but we're not able to
obtain enough for their own use.
McLennan and Cox, however, sue
ceeded in purchasing once for their
Joint use, and on the morning Of
August 18th, they left the Lewis
river encampment. Their way Lay
due north, along the banks of the
small river (Which judge was the
Palouse) for several miles. In some
places the trail led over steep and
slippery rock, and was so narrow
that the horses, which were loaded
with large bales, could not pass
without running the risk Of falling
down the craggy precipices, and the
men were compelled to unload them
and place the bales singly on top
of the pack saddles. The heat was
intense, and water was scarce.
Still pursuing northerly course,
on the morning Of the 18th they
came to a fine spring, where they
breakfasted, the guide telling them
that they would not find water be-
yond for a great distance. After
resting for a few hours they re-
loaded and continued their journey.
All day they travelled. mo green
spot blooming on the desert around
them" The country was completely
denuded of wood, and as far as the
eye could see nothing was visible
but immense plains covered with
parched brown grass sWarrning with
rattlesnakes.
The horses suffered dreadfully, as
| we'll as their masters, from heat
and thirst. Several of the horses
had to give up, the men were
scarcely able to walk and the guide
was sharply questioned as to his
knowledge of the country and the
probable time they might expect to
fall in with water. With that stoical
calm which clnaracterizes his race,
he pointed to the sun and said that
''when it would have gained a GER
tain distance, relief might be ex
pected." He was right, and about
e-thirty pm they reached q

they encamped for the night
The next morning they resumed
their journey, finding the face Of

FOURTH BRINGS NO
FATAL ACCIDENTS
Few Arrests Made Over
Weekend, Even With
Election ON Also

No fatal automobile accidents or
accidents of any other kind were re-
ported today by officers as the result
of the observance of the Fourth of
July weekend holiday here. There
were not even ANY injuries in auto
mobile wrecks, so far as could be
learned.
Moreover, there were very few ar
rests by either city or county Off
cers-no more than the customary
weekend minor offenses, including
drinking and petty brawls. Police re-
ported only two or three arrests and
the sheriff's deputies had only half
a dozen or so. And this in spite of the
fact that Saturday was election day
also.
The Fourth was not generally OBJ
served Saturday as a holiday, how
ever. Banks, the post office and the
railroad freight offices took the usual
full time off, and were open for bust
ness today. But merchants kept open
house Saturday as usual, and took
their holiday today. The same was
true in other nearby cities and towns.
City and county offices were closed
Saturday, however, and were open
again today for business.
1t was considered by officers an I'M
usually quiet Fourth here, especially
in view of the fact that it was also
election day.

usual interest in, if not actual sup
port of DR.. Ralph w. Mcdonald by
The News and Observer both during
the 1885 General Assembly and in his
campaign for the Democratic nomi-
nation for governor.
Death Blow To Plans
Accordingly, many observers here
see in the singing defeat given to
Mcdonald by Hoey in Saturdays
election, a death blow to any plans
which Mcdonald and the Daniels
family may have had to build up
new ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and OBJ
server machine" to replace the
Gardner-Ehringhaus-Hoey machine"
concerning which Mcdonald talked so
much during the campaign and which
many are convinced would have be-
come more ruthless and domineering
than the old Democratic machine"
has ever been or dared to be.
The ultimate objective of the Nc
Donald @machine', had Mcdonald
been nominated, many observers
maintain, would have been to remove
the States tax load from the eastern
counties as far as possible and trans
lCI IL 10 Cn0 IIoUUlOnL anu western
counties and thus have transferred
domination of the Democratic party
from the Piedmont and west to the
east.
The principal reason the western
and Piedmont counties baked at
voting for Mcdonald and refused to
swallow him, was because of the Re
publicans in these counties and the
realization and knowledge that they
could not hope to keep these coun-
ties Democratic with a Democratic
candidate for governor who had as
sailed the record of the Democrats in
the State more bitterly than ever the
Republicans ever had, most observers
here agree. Another factor was that
for almost 40 years Mr.. Hoey had
helped the Democrats in these west
ern and Piedmont counties defeat the
Republicans in election after cleo
ton and that the western Democrats
do not forget those who have helped
and befriended them. Still another
factor that helped to swell Hoey's
vote was the resentment on the part
of thousands of Democrats in all sec
tons of the State against the bitter
personal attacks made upon Hoey by
Mcdonald, many are convinced.

PRINTING OR BORROWINGS?
Printing more money may elimi-
nate interest, which eats away saw
ings. But will the decline in the value
of money not be more, much more,
than the cost of the interest?
Money is medium of exchange, in
itself, it can mean nothing. Men do
believe that the government ought to
have full control of it-but not to
manipulate.
Issuance of interest-bearing bonds
is a decided burden. These interest
Gearing bonds evidentully take more
away than outright taxes. But every
body fights taxes.
The alternative borders on. socialism
and communism. Thus the American
choice will be Cd more bonds, CD and
or more taxes, (3) and or printing
money. It may be all three.
That is the Wall Street view, stated
over and over again.
It blames it all On President Roose-

But there seems to be nobody in

cnt editor of The News and Observ-

observers are convinced that for a
good many years now Josephus Dan

corded the honor and consideration
due him by the Democratic party in
North Carolina and as a result has
been becoming increasingly resentful
towards the leaders in the dominant
group in the party. This is believed
to have been the reason he almost
decided to become a candidate for
governor four years ago on an anti

form, for his evident sympathy to-

which East shifted to 54Spades:

East bid 6-Spades and was doubled
by South, with visions Of countless

Declarer ruffed 4he opening lead of
hearts Dummy ruffed a return lead
of clubs. The Of spades was led
through the doubler. She covered
with the z. The 8 won. North
showed out. Dummy again ruffed a
club. This time Vests long clubs
became established. The J of spades
was led through South. She declined
to cover. Vests Q won the trick, then
the Ace picked up South's K. South
still expected that her diamonds
would win enough tricks to defeat
the small slam. but West continued
to tease her. by leading clubs and
forcing her to discard for two more
rounds Not until North showed out
of clubs did it dawn upon the doubler
that a grand slam must be made.
Then West spread the remaining
cards. for a trick more than his
small slam contract.
Does history repeat itself? Was
the hand actually dealt. as South
fully believed?
The hand was at first glance
strangely familiar to me. It resGm-
bles, in all essentials, the famous
"Duke of Cumberland hand". At .one
time, that remarkable hand, and it's
possible variations, was often re-
ferred to as the mississippi river
hand, because a cold deck was run
in on suckers, ready to deal the VIC
tim the South hand, while the con-
spirators held the hands shown above
for East and West.

Az told you a few days ago, there are millions of different com binations of cards. Therefore. sup. pose 1t is n little hard at times to try to figure out the proper play.
 In the majority of hands, how ever, you can develop line of play with just little reasoning. The fun in bridge is not Just bid- ding three no trump and then cash Ing nine cold tricks. but trying to locate certain high cards and then using those outstanding high cards to your advantage.
 Just because the opponents hold certain high cards does not mean that those cards arc all going to take tricks. Proper manipulation often. will gain you a trick every time you lose one.

 He elected to return a small dia- inond. Declarer won with the jack and immediately cashed the acc of diamonds. He now played the ace of spades, dlscarding a small heart.
 Another spade was returned. East was forced to win with the ten and was now helpless. All he could do was cash his king of dia- monds and conccdc the remainder of the tricks to dcclarcr for three no trump.
