Just why a "private" citizen
should buy 12 quarts of whiskty
at one time is a question which

it is no uncommon thing for

T. L. Johnson, prominent cotton
dealer and citizen of Rock
Hill and one of the county's!
leading farmers, had three fine
* mules killed by a Southern train
near Smith's Turnout Saturday.
The mules, 12 in number, had,

them killing three.
Again we would ask. readers
of The Times, when buying j
~ * goods advertised in tne paper,
to mention to the merchant that ,
they saw his wares advertised.
This would be a great help to the j
paper, as in no other way is a
merchant so strongly convinced
that his advertising is being read ,
as for his customers to tell him
so.
The split log drag should not i
be forgotten after the bad weather
departs to a sufficient extent
to allow work on the roads. This
is one of the simplest, yet at the,
same time most wonderful implements
yet invented; and incalcu- (
lable good can be accomplished
in the way of road improvement
if the drag is used on the roads i
after every spell of bad weath- ,

Ask Government Aid for the Catawbas.
Purporting to care for the

adopted by the State Legislature:
"First, that our members in

Government.
"Second, that the assistant
Attorney Genual, the Hon. M.
P. DeBruhl, Senator \Y. H.
Stewart and the chief of the

jay the matter before the proper
committee and that their expenses
be paid by the agent, of
the tribes out of the annual appropriation
made to the said
Indians."
The resolution was introduced

Stewart's name was inserted, as
one of the committee to appear

Brother of Mr. J. A. BojrdDead.
j Mr. Andrew J. Boyd, a broth
er of Mr. Jno. A. Boyd of Fort
Mill, died Monday night at his
home/in Charlotte, after an illness
which began with a stroke
of paralysis last December. The
remains were taken to Woodward.
the old home of the deceased,
Tuesday morning for
burial.
Mr. Boyd was 58 years of age
and had been a resident of Charlotte
for seven years. He is survived
by a widow, who was Miss
Mary Thompson before marriage,
and five sons, all of whom
reside in Charlotte. Besides Mr.
J. A. Boyd, there are four other
surviving brothers.
The Lenten Season.
The arrival of Lent has given
rise to the question, propounded
by the uninformed, as to what
Lent is. The word is derived
from Lenz, of the German, meaning
spring. It is the season of
fasting before Easter observed
by Catholic, Eastern and Anglican
.churches. In past times J
it is said that the length of Lent
varied greatly. One church
celebrated the season for one
length of time while another
would possibly choose a different
period. It was finally placed,
however, at 40 days in commemoration
of the fasting of
Christ, Elijah and Moses.
To Catch the Farmers.
It has been suggested that the
present rise in the price of cotton
linnn Ktvuirrhf with n
11 CIO Utt 11 VlVU^ilV ?.. ?
view to having the farmers plant
a large crop of cotton the present
year.
We admit that it is a most
elegant scheme if it be true to
get them to do so. W he her
true or not it will have a tendency
to mike every fellow plant
every acre in cotton that he can.
But the farmers should not
allow themselves to be caught
by any one, and they should be
sure that they do not catch themselves.

A Hindrance to Mail Carriers.
A great deal of the time of
rural letter carriers is each day
taken up needlessly by the people
whom they serve on their
route. The persons causing this
delay by not having their letters
stamped, scabd or addressed, or
worse still, by dropping a couple
of pennies into the box, instead
" '
01 SllCKing a sianipun liic jcilci,
do not seem to realize that the
carrier has one hundred or more
other stops to make before his
route is completed.
The government has estimated
that two minutes are now required
by the carrier at each box
on his route. There are about
forty-thousand rural carriers in
the United States. Taking 100
boxes as the average number on
each route, we have 8,000,000
minutes each day which are allowed
by the government for the
carriers to serve mr.il at the boxes
of the country. Now, if each
patron of the route would have
the letters which they intend to
write all ready, stamped, sealed,
addressed ana in the boxes, at
the time when the carrier is due,
it would save each one just half <
the time or 100 minutes each day, , j
and the last patron on the route could
read his mail one hour and i
forty minutes sooner than is now
Ll_ .
ine ease.
If the public would stop and
figure what this means to the
man who, through all kinds of (
weather, and many times under
se\ere difficulties, serves them (
with their mail, the daily task of 1
the rural letter carrier would be
greatly lessened.
Mr. Roosevelt a Candidate.
Mr. S. S. McNinch, of Char- i
lotte, proprietor of the Charlotte
Brick company, returned a few j
days ago from atr p to Washing- (
ton and New York, and in con- i
versation with a reporter for the i
Charlotte Observer gave as his ;
opinion that Theodore Roosevelt i
will likely again be a candidate j
for the presidency of the United |
States I
Mr. McNinch is numbered <
among the prominent Republi- ;
cans of North Carolina and is a j
close, personal friend of Mr. ;
Roosevelt. During the latter's
incumbency in tie office, the
Charlotte manufacturer was a
frequent caller at the White
House and there sprang up be- ]
tween the president and Mr. ;
McNinch a friendship that has (
nontinued since. While in New i
York. Mr. McNinch called upon
the colonel and was there in- i
formed that he would again be- ,
come a candidate for the office
of the Chief Executive of the .
United States, largely because
of the attacks that have lately |
been made upon him and the ,
fact that the administration has ;
not carried out his own ideas of <
a progressive government.
The governor signed the antiracing
lid Friday, following its i
ratification by the general as- ]
sembly Thursday night. The
measure was passed by thelegis- |
lature after being amended so as j
to eliminate the injunction feature.
and is designed to put an
end to betting on horse racing
in South Carolina. The provisions
of the bill become ef- ,
fective on July 1.
The governor wrote the follow- i
ing note under his signature. "If
my sei ate amendment as to the
'Charleston Jockey club' had
been sustained this act would
not be necessary."
The title of the bill is: "To
prevent betting, pool-selling,
bookmaking, bets or wagers and
to provide punishment for such
offenses and to declare same or
any of them a common nuisance."

Rogers and Lang Sent Up Again.
Eight years ago four desperate
safe crackers were captured
a few miles north of Monroe,
after a battle between them and
officers had taken place on the
streets near the passenger depot
and in the fields and woods
where they were captured.
James Lang was the leader of
the gang and Charles Rogers
was another one of the four robbers
captured. The safe crackers
were tried in Greenville, S.
C.. for ,robbing the postoffice
there and were sentenced to
terms of five years each in the
Federal prison in Atlanta. They
served their sentence, Lang
having to spend several months
more time in the Atlanta prison
than did the other on account of
his obstinacy and violation of
prison rules. It is said that
Lang spent longer time in solitary
confinement than has any
other prisoner in that institution
before he would promise to obey
the rules. After Lang and
Rogers had served their sentence
in the Atlanta prison they were
brought back to North Carolina
and were tried in Mocksville (
for cracking a safe in that town
just before they committed the 1
postoffice robbery in South
Carolina. They were each sen- ;
fenced to serve five years in the
State prison, but after serving
about two years in the North |
Hnrolina nenitentiarv thev were
pardoned. Lang and Rogers '
went back to their former crim- ,
inal practice and on last Mon
day were in Norwich, N. Y.,
sentenced to terms of nine years \
and six months each for burg- |
lary, Lang assumed the name :
of Petro Valensky and Rogers
the name of Charles Adams
when they were arraigned in i
court in New York State. Their j
last crime was an attempt- ]
ed bank robbery.?Monroe Enquirer.

Chester Girl Attempts Soicide.
Miss Rosa Lemon, a resident J
of the Eureka mill village, of J
Chester, made a desperate but
ineffective effort to commit suicide
on one of the main streets
of that city Tuesday morning.
Troubled over domestic affairs, (
and especially angered at her
mother for chastisement, the
16-year-old gir! hastened to a '
drug store Tuesday morning and c
purchased 10 cents worth of t
laudanum. When about a block c
distance from the store, she J
unwrapped the bottle, extracted n
the stopper and took the drug, o

A Political Announcement.
Pensacola, (Fla.) Journal.
The following announcement *
i TA ? nr.uu ,
Py UT. Zj. rurier rveuu, ui j
Laurel Hill, probably stands in a c
class all by itself as a unique J
political appeal:
To the public in general, and
the voters especially of Walton I
coun y. *
After insulting my own con- .
science and better judgment, I
have decided to run before, if
not after, the primaries of this
county for the most despised
and degraded office of Representative.
And to lie before you
as to my platform would be to
do you as others who have gone
before me. I feel my utter incompleteness
as others who you
have chosen in the past few
years have shown theirs. I
promise you all they have promised.
and more, too. All I want
is sufficient votes to land me in
Lobbyhassee, and then the votes
be darned. I will lean toward
the side who has the Kale Seed,
and support such strenuous
measures as will protect the
dear gophers of this beautiful i
land of ours. And what care we
for better roads, we neither i
have fine cars, nor pleasure carriages,
neither have we great
loads of farm products to market.
Our forefathers were .
happier than we, and they trod
the heavy sands and mud; are ?
we better than they?
I furthermore promise and say j
that I will fill my seat in the |
Legislature hall, at all times,,
provided I have no other business
at home, or Pensacola, that
might attract my attention. And
on the last day, I will be surely
found at my post of duty, ready
to sign the pay roll.
Trusting you see your way
clear to vote for me, I am yours
ready to serve.
E. Porter Webb, M. D.
Yesterday, "Ash Wednesday,"
was the first day of Lent. The
day obtaihs its name by reason
of the ancient custom of sprinkling
ashes over the head as a sign
of penitence. The ashes were j
obtained by burning consecrated
palms on the Sunday preceding
Ash Wednesday.
