There was roaring noise. A spout
of fame flared upward from behind
the car. Thick smoke arose. Voices
shouted. Two Purple Shirts ran clum-
silly toward the burning car.
There was monstrous flare of flame
and a cushioned "Boom." Burning
petrol spread out over tremendous
space The car jerked forward pace
and began to burn all over. The leader
of the Purple Shirts leaped down from
the plane and flung Janice against it,
shouting wrathfully at her. He plainly
accused her of responsibility for the
disaster.

Janice said through stiff lips: IT'S

than being shot. Being too much of

There was sheer pandemonium of
confused and confusing orders ali
about. In the end the leader of the
Purple Shirts, believing, ordered the
pilot INTO the plane. He followed
closely. There followed small buzzlng
sounds from the motors. The starter

their guns at the ready. Hunya came
squirting back toward the ship The
other two rested their guns on the car
and opened fire on him, deliberately.
At the fourth shot his horse shud-
dered, went down on its knees, and
then collapsed, kicking. Hunya stag

car on foot. The two men fired, and

Janice heard her own voice making
a harsh, horrible sound. One hour

been through something close to an

He understood only a single word,
of course. Hunya. He turned away.

OUTLOOK is GOOD
FOR A. & N. c. LINE
Encouraging Report Made
to Governor on State
Owned Railroad
DAILY Dispatch Bureau.

Raleigh, Jan. 5-Outlook for the
State-owned Atlantic and Northern
Railroad Company for January is
good, according to a report of the
roads condition made to Governor
Clyde r. Hoey, yesterday by H. p
Crowell, president.
"While there was a Seasonable re-
cession of business in December, the
expected arrival of ship Cat More
head City, in January which, together
with the steamships Redstone and Bes
tum to be loaded in January, justifies
us in feeling that business in January
will show a decided improvement
he wrote.
Accompanying the letter was the
roads report for November and for
the first eleven months of 1887. The
figures showed that the road was out
of the red for the period something
it was far from being in 1936-despite
small loss in November due wholly
to the fact that a freight train de-
railment cost approximately $4,000.
Actually the A. and N. c. showed a
net loss of $1,449.6O for November
which would have a profit Of some ST.
600 but for the wreck. For the first
eleven months of 1896 there was a net
income of $16,175.26, as compared with
a deficit of $26,91775 for the cores
ponding period of 1886. -
Revenue for November the report
showed, was slightly under the pre-
ceding month, but was a distinct i'm
provement over November of 1886
with an increase of $16,472. Co., or SO
per cent. The corresponding increase
in operating expenses was only 81
per cent, or $2,71O.18. an increase
which was due to maintenance which
follows the increase in traffic. Mr.
Crowell wrote.

the trial of Tom Linney alias Buffalo,
and L. j. Jefferson, convicted of the
murder of Herman w. Fogleman.
The appeal of James Sermons from
death sentence for the staying of
Carlisle Miller was dismissed, as it
had not been perfected, but the court
noted it found no error on the face of
the record
In the other capital case, Henry
Mosley won a brief respite when it
was ordered that the record be cor
rected to show that the jury found
him guilty of murder in the first de-
gree" instead of simply guilty" He
was convicted of killing Clarence

The court upheld the validity of the

court ruling by Judge Clawson Will

corpus to Rosa Lee Barnes, convict

Outstanding men and women of the

he understands the situation, how
ever. And he has been doing his best,
and continues to do his best to give
the recession patient what nanifestly
is the rigkr medicine.
He cannot advertise his" medicine
as it ought to be advertised, for it
is unpopular. The less he talks about
it the better All he can do is to adj
minister smallish doses of it as sur
reptitiously as possible. Bigger doses
would "take'' faster, hut he cannot
give bigger doses without attracting
too much attention TO them. Then the
public would balk at even his little
doses. We are lucky in that he is
getting away with his homeopathic
dosage. That, in fact, is somewhat re-
scented. If he attempted alopathic
treatment he would start an outright
'holler'', and his remedy would b.
banned completely.
Trade Shut Off.
What caused the recession?
Why, it is as plain as the nose on
an elephants face.
It was caused by saturation of the
American demand for American pro-
ducts Consequently our local produc-
ton piles up on us.
The remedy? Foreign markets, ma
turally-a greater demand.
Why is the foreign demand so limit
ed?
Obvious answer:
Our protective tariff policy pro-
hibits Cor greatly curtails) foreign
countries from shipping their sur
plusagas into the United States, to
trade off for our surplusages.
why Not Exchange?
For example:
Our automotive industry is laying
of hands wholesale.
Why would it not be doing so?
Every one in this country who wants
an auto has one-folk on relief; semi
Migrants. We have more autos than
we have bathtubs. And those are Of
fetal figures.
Now, why should We not trade off
our surplus autos with other nations.
which cannot turn out autos as cheap
ly as we can, for their products,
where they can be produced more
cheaply than we can produce them?
Coffee or bananas?-we can't produce
either of them. Silk?-which we can't
produce at all. Plenty of little gad-
gets, that central Europe is cleverer
at than we are.
I could go on into sugar-but that
is very sensitive subject.
Hull's Slow Progress.
Well, we could extend our markets
indefinitely into these other countries
if we would admit their stuff more
freely, to swap with us.
But we have that protective tariff
complex of ours, to reckon with.
Secretary Hull has not got it.
Reciprocal trade agreements" are
his motto.
l know he would like to throw trade
barriers down completely, but he can
not do it in the face of our traditional
protective bugs.
He is doing it as fast as he can,
anyway.
