Uncle Joe h0 inud a vls,t ^
the state capital the other day, an<l
t th.twJ the only thin* ? over
heard of him paying, I
taroaUMi and naked him to Ml ?
all about that visit, ami he did
follows:
"Well I told Mincrvy that -1 might
?a lief go some pl.ee as stay ,at home,
ao 1 hitehed up my old 1K8 ear an
lit out southward bound, me and Bil
and Jim. Jim atnt any kin to me,
but I thought it would l*> ni? to
take him along, as he .paid for the
gas, and oil we had to have...-and
Bill done the driving.
,,We reaehed"the state capital Just
about dinner time. 11l to be
a Tike ouiet town. We got h
Sinner a ? Caff for 3?e. J??
for them before 1 could get my pocketbook
out. There wasn't ?o ovedy
much business going on in that bu g
We commenced to walk around after
a bit." (fP-tu). , ?
??We noticed that nearly half of
the privately owned offlee
i.onoared to be vacant, but the stale
oJ^ a large oifico building and every
office in it was occupied and crowded,
and the door-keoper said some of the
employees had to take offices elsewhere
(P-tu..right on my floor
the tenth time). We didn't get to
talk to more 'than half of tho <oor
keepers.
"I declare to goodness, it's hard to
reduce political expenses, as you
can't turn off nobody. A few of th
several hundred seemed to be?*ortcr
busy,- and I didn't notice any of
thorn playing rick-rack or "jd'1 '
No matter how hard times git. pub
He jTbst run right on just like money
grows on tress." (P-tuu.)
"I told Jim and Mil that if a farmer
was to try to farm
lie affairs are run, he would have to
have a man to catch dot the mule,
ami a man to hitch him to tho plow,
and .. man to hold the plow, and a
man to say 'Gee, mule.' nnd a man
?to say- 'Haw, -mule,' and a man to.
say "Whoa, mule" and several more
men to toll the other men how to turn
around when they got to the cn?J of
the row.

honest politics to get this old count. O

Trial Halted By
Defiant Prisoner
Over at Monroe in Union county.
North Carolina the courtr found itself
helpless to proceed in the case
against Marion Kims and ('letus Rowell,
charged as accoseori^i ?ftcr the
fact, in the murder of Charlie Price
last November. The court \yas helpleas
tercauae of "the aenwaiiortal action
of Brady Price, already serving in the
penitentiary, who refused to answer
questions put to him by the solicitor.
Price, who was tried last February
and given 24 to 27 yeani in state's
prison on second degy^O murder, was
brought here last Friday by deputy
John Williams who went way down
to the .state farm at Caledonia to
bring him here. Ho was brought at
the request of the solicitor who expected
to use him as^he niajp witness
against the two men on trial.
But when Prke was put on the
stand at throe o'clock this afternoon
he stubbornly refused to anwwer any
questions put by the solicitor 9r replied
that he did not know or did
not remember. Over and over with
question after question, the solicitor
, sought to get an affirmative answer
' of some kind, but all attempts failed.
He didn't know'' who shot Charlie
Price. He didn't remember what he
testified at hisj own trial. He didn't
know who got the money. He <fidn*t
remember whether Rowell and Elms
were there when Price was killed or
not. His only explanation was that
he had decided to say nothing and
then there would be no hard feelings
and no one could accuse him of lying.
Judge Oglosby sat quietly during
the attempt of the solicitor to get
his witness to answer and said nothing.
But when the .solicitor told
Price to come down apd a deputy
started to take him from tlie room,"
the Judge interposed and had him
seated in court.
Then, when the solicitor announced
that he could not go on with the
case and would have to discharge
Elms and Rowell, the Judge took a
hand. He said that it was inconceivable
that a man convicted of
murder urwi brought here to testify
should be able to defy the constituted
authorities in such a- way. He
could not make him answer, he said,
because he was already serving a
Ion;; term In prison and any further
sentence would be usetess. But, said
the Judge, he could do one thing and
he would do itr
He would write to George Ross.
Pou, superintendent of the prison and
tell how the witness had acted and he
felt sure that Mr. Pou would take
the proper sitaps. He would also
write the governor of the state and
ask him to put it on file that this
prisoner should never be shown any
leniency, never be given any advantage
for good behavior or get a
shorter sentence for good behavior or^
get a shorter sentence or parole, nor
that he should be given any advantages
of better grading in the prison.
Price seemed undisturbed by
this announcement.
Elms and Rowell, the latter of
whom is a one armed youth, walked
out of the court free men and can
never be brought to trial again.
Sheriff Fowler, who held the theory
that Elms and Rowell had been
directly-implicated, caused their arrest
and they have been out on bond.
After Price was convicted they were
charged with being accessory in that
they had helped him to escape.?

not hurt that drink which, killed
germs, and on the witness stand
drank a bottle containing a half dozen
spiders. Then Owen I), Johnston,
