After having spent several dafs in the Gold Hill section of Fort Mill townihip, Ed Oton. who ran a#ay from his lome just over the line in Mecklenburg i few weeks ago following the complaint ] to Governor Kitchin by neighbors of Caton that he had violated the terms < >f the parole the governor granted him j from the county chaingang some months ?go, was captured early Eriday morn- < ing near the home of Mr. Felix Thomas 1 by Deputy Sheriff Porter of Mecklen- j burg and Constable J. J. Coltharp of Fort Mill. Caton's arrest was made on i the public highway just after he had < left the Thomas home. He made no 1 resistance and when shown the warrant Caton readily agreed to return to North ] Carolina without requisition papers. Caton was taken to Pineville, where an 1 automobile was in waiting, and upon arriving in Charlotte a short time after- i ward was committed to Mecklenburg jail. He made no mention of his trouble to the officers ?n the way to Charlotte, i appearing to take the situation in his usual humor. It was stated Saturday that Caton would endeavor to secure the ten days of clemency which were originally allowed him, but those who ate familiar with the case, were of the opinion that such an effort would fail and that Caton would don the regula- i tion stripes before the close of the , present week. Caton***? -^served about 12 months of an lfc-months sentence for adultery when a petition asking that he be pardoned on the score of ill health was sent to Governor Kitchin. The petition received the favor of the governor to the extent that Caton was paroled during good behavior. But Caton's neighbor's in the Sharon section claim that he violated the parole a few weeks ago by taking part in a cocking main, held on Sunday. They appealed to the governor to order Caton's return to the chaingang. He was considered an un- j desirable neighl??r. The governor ordered Caton to show cause why he should not serve the remainder of his sentence, but on the day set for the : hearing Caton did not put in an appearance, and his wheteabouts since that time were unknown to the authorities until a short while before his arrest in Gold Hill Friday morning.

The speakers one and all acquitted themselves well, but the j praise is due to the winner, who in smooth and easy flowing periods of elo- j quence. delivered his message, "The I Cry of the Nation." His speaking! Ivas without equal or rival, and well may the Philosophian society be proud of having such a member and bring such laurels and lay them at her feet. 1 A tone of seriousness and earnestness pervaded every word of the speaker's language."

On being asked ! whether or not he would again be a candidate for railroad commissioner, > said such is his intention. "It was not my intention to run again," he said, "and 1 would not do so, except for the ; fact that I was defeated by lies published against me between the first and j second primaries. It was claimed that the people of York county refused to reelect me as school commissioner because of incompetency, when as a matter of fact, every intelligent, honest man knows that the principal reason of my defeat was my refusal to swallow the Tillman catechism in the previous campaign.
