One of the most horrible crimes committed in this section recently, occurred a t Barber Junction Tues day night of last week, between the hours of seven and eight o’clock, when Preston Lyerly, ihanager of H. T. Smithdeal’s store, was killed, the building set on fire and the body burned to a charred mass. Mr. Smithdeal, owner of the store, lives a t Advance, butfVas in this city, at tending court a t the time. He went to Barber on the early m orning train Wednesday. There are many theor ies advanced, but the m ost plausible is th at Lyerly went to the postoffice after his mailT and th at when he re turned to the store he found the burglars robbing the safe, which ■ was not locked. On being discovered Lyerly was shot through the head and also knocked in the head, it is believed, with an axe, after which a can of oil was upset and a m atch ap plied. The robber nr robbers se cured what cash was on hand and escaped. The burning building at tracted the attention of those about the station who went at once to the scene, which was about two hundred yards east of the depot The door was barricaded with boxes but was forced open, and reports say that the safe was open and empty. The body of the m urdered man was on the floor in the rear of the building and was not discovered until the fire had gained such headway th at it could not be reached Officers in Salisbury, Davie and Iredell county were notified a t once of the crime, and all trains w ere watched, but up to this tim e the guilty party or par ties have not been captured. It is reported th at two or three suspic ious characters were arrested, but they proved an alibi and were re leased. It is said th at a t least 300 people were engaged in the hunt for the m urderers Lyerly was 26 years of age, and is related to the Lyerly family th at was practically wiped out by the Gillespie negroes in 1906,. for which three of the negroes were taken from the Salisbury jail and lynched. Lyerly was a native of W oodleaf, and his body was carried to Unity church and laid to rest Thursday. The store building was w orth about $1,500 and a $3,000 stock of goods was carried Mr. Sm ithdeal had not a penny of in eurance. Insurance Commissioner Scott was a t Barber Thursday inves tigating the fire. I tis thought the Governor will offer a reward for the capture of the guilty parties^ SfeHayde^sQlgment Solicitor. R aleigh, M areh 2.— A. cotnmis sion has been issued' to H ayden Clem ent; of Salisbury, by Gov! Craig, as solicitor of the fifteenth ju d icial district, to succeed Mr. W . C. H am m er. H e-is a oapa -h ie attorney and quite popular with those who know him , / Put County Officers on Salary. D ear Sir:— I note in a.recent is- sne o fT h e k e c o rd th a t you advo; cate putting the-county officers on a salary and th a t you would be glad to hear from any one on the subject. I waBt to say th at I am heartily in Savor of this. I think $1800 is enough for the sheriff to get, or even $1500 for the next two years and $1800 per year thereaf ter would be better. T he clerk of court to receive $900 per je a r and to consolidate th e-re g ister’s and treasu rer^ office and pay him $1, 500 per year. I think the treas urer should have his office a t the court house or nearby, so be could be reached w ithout inconvenience Often, when it is kept in some oth er p art of the county, the public is p u t to a lo to f inconvenience, some tim es not finding,him at home they have to go back a second tim e. If these offices are notconsolidated think it would be. best to. give the register $900 per year and pay the treasurer $600 per year, b u t by all m eans keep the treasurer’s office in M ooksville. If thought best, the banks would doubtless be glad to-handle the county funds for $600 per year, requiring them to give bond to cover the am ount bandied. I th in k the am ounts iiietitioned above is am ple pay for the work th at the offices have and tba* there is at least 500 capable men in D avie county who would be glad to serve the county foi these atmounts. T his would be a cansiderable saving to the county, and the tim e has come, M r. V oter, when our money should g.j to m ak ing our. schools longer or using the money in im proving our publii highw ays instead of paying largt salaries in the w ay of commissions. We should not support any mat for the IegislaturiB who is not in favor of this law , regardless of w hat his politics are. . I think a l so th at the sheriff should he re quired to publish a list of all the insolvent taxpayers in the county so th at the public m ight know who paid'taxes and who did not, and th at fnis list be turned over to the solicitor, this to be published in a county paper. O ur representative should be asked to secure this law for us, Ia m a ls o ia favor of a law not to allow any m an to hold office m ore than two consecutive term s or four years. This is long enough, and such a plank should be p u t in ouo platform a t the next countv convention. W ould be glad to hear from others on this subject Y oiirs very truly, F rakk M. Ca r t e r . Court Proceedings. The following cases were pisposed of at the February term of Davie Superiorcourt Which was heldin this city last week: ;WilI Langley, c. c. w., not guilty. * John W. Carter, disposing of mortgaged property, not guilty. •lim Ijames, four cases retailing, pleads guilty, judgment suspended on payment of cost and good behavior. Eugene tyagner, retailing, fined $400 and costs, and to give $500 bond to ap pear at each term for three years and show good behavior. Luke Deadmon, two cases retailing, not guilty. . Fred Lakey, manslaughter, not guilty. Luke Deadmon, c. c. w., judgment sus pended, on payment of costs. George'Mitchell, a. w. d. w., guilty, judgment suspended on payment of costs. W. Y. Willson, a. b.. defendant pleads guilty, costs and to give $100 bond to ap pear at every term of court for two years and show good behavior. • Luke Deadmon, rude language over tele phone, pleads guilty, fined $20 and costs. Jim Gaither and Jim Foster, affray, Gaither pleads giiilty. Guilty as to Foster, judgment suspended ,on payment of costs. Each to pay half costs. The grand jury found but three true bills of indictment and no presentments. Not a warrant was returned by any mag istrate. This speaks mighty well for Davie county, and should convince any legisla ture that. Davie does not need but two terms of court a year. It is hoped that we will never have another February term of court in this county. By doing away with this court we could save the taxpay ers at least $1,000 a year, which would build at least one mjle of good road. There was but one civil case tried, that being Lee Waller vs p. C. Stewart, claifn and delivery. Judgment was given the plaintiff. Elbavilie News. We are having sbine bad weather along- liow. The ground hog seems to be on the job.

IfEGRO CAPTURED. OFFICERS SAY HE CONFESSED. Sid Finger Believed to Have Mur- deved Preston Lyerly at Bar ber Janction Feb. 24. Salisbury, March 4.—Sid Finger, colored, the alleged murderer of PrestonLyerly, at B a r b e r 's Junction on February 24, when his body was also cremated in a store building, was captured by ex-Chief of Po lice J. Frank Miller, of Salisbury and De p u ty Insurance Commissioner Scott, of Raleigh and Deputy Frank Talbert of Salisbury late this afternoon. The capture was made on the farm of Mr. Scott Slioa f, six miles north of Salis bury, where Finger was employed. While stoutly protesting his innocence at first and attempting to implicate another ne gro before reaching Salisbury, Fingermade a partial confession uf the crime, it is said, to Mr. Miller and the other officers who assisted in the arrest. The keys, watch and other articles identified as belonging to Xyerly were found in Finger's pockets when arrested. As a matter of precaution by sheriff Mc Kenzie. Finger was rushed off to Raieigh in care of Deputy Talbert. Taking up a thread of evidence brought out at the coroner's inquest held at Bar ber, in which it was shown that Finger had made serious threats against Mr. Lyerly, Deputy Scott worked the case to a finish. In this he was ably assisted by Mr. Miller, who remained on the ground carefully noting every partideof evidence tending to bring to justice the man who murdered the merchant, robbed him of what money and jewelry he had and then fired the building in which the body was burned to a crisp. Itwas known that Finger had had trouble over an account due Lyerly, that in a magistrate's trial he made serious threats, was SenttKtjaftat Salisbuiyi gave bail and repeaied^S 'intendoBS to get even with Lyerly. It was impossible for the officers working on the case to elimi nate Finger from connection with the crime, It was a clever piece of work on the part of Messrs. Miller, Seott, Talbert and Sboafin catching Finger today. By pre vious arrangement made by Mr. Miller, Mt. Shoaf hired Finger to do some chop ping on his plantation. Messrs. Miller, Talbert and Scott left Salisbury early to day ostensibly to take a hunt on the farm. Shortly after the huntsmen reach ed the place, they found Mr. Shoaf at home and Finger together with one other negro, Joe Maxwell, chopping cord wood. Using the dogs as a decoy the officers were face to face with Finger before he realized he was in the clutches of the law. He made a move as if to run, but found himself looking down the gun of Mr. Miller. The capture has aroused more interest than any one thing in Rowan since . the murder and burning. Leaving the negro in the hands of Deputy Talbert, Messrs. Miller, Scott and Shoaf visited the borne of Joe Maxwell, where Finger has been staying. Searching the house, they found Lyerly's watch and keys carefully wrap ped in a shirt and crammed into a crack in the house. These articles were posi tively identified by Miss Bertha Alexan der, fianee of Lyerly, as the property of the dead merchant. Sheriff J. H. Mc Kenzie, Deputy Krider, Deputy Talbert and all the other county officers have worked hard on the case since the crime spending almost all their time trying to run down the alleged murderer.

Madam, if your husband is like most men he expects you to look after the health of yourself and children, Coughs and colds are the most common of the minor ailments and are most Ukely to lead to serioui diseases. A child is muchmore likely to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever when it has a cold.

W inston-Salem, M arch 5 —Short ly before 10 o’clock last night, the contract for the erection of the mod ern iron bridge which will span the w aters of the Yadkin river and link Forsyth and Davie counties m ore closely together than ever before, was aw arded to th e Vinciennes Bridge Company, of Indiana, for $31,000, and the contract will be draw n up a t once and form ally aw arded a t a joint m eeting of the Boards of County Commissioners of Forsyth and Davie counties to be held in this city on the afternoon of; Tuesday, M arch 17th. Through the action of the boards: last Right, not only will a new gate-: way be opened up to this city that will bring in trad e from portions of Yadkin and Iredell counties as. well as Davie, but it m arks the beginning of w hat will probably be a new route for the N ational Automobile Highway, as the Governm ent pro poses to spend several thousand dol lars in Iredell, Davie and Forsyth counties on road th at will traverse the three counties, the building of which hangs on the erection of the new iron bridge. T hat the bridge should be built no one doubted for an instant, and it was only a question- of determ ining upon the best bridge to be secured and the aw arding of the contract, Many people w ere called upon by Chairm an E. T. Mickey with a view to seeing how the people regard the m easure and w ithout a single ex ception all expressed them selves as being heartily in faver of the project. An argum ent in favor of the early erection of a bridge th at has not Iieieh' idvahedd very”much heretofore was put home very forcibly by Mr.; P. H. Hanes, who has taken quite an active interest in the securing of the governm ent appropriation fo r For.- sythj-D avie and Irekell counties. H e had Secretary J. M. Lentz read a letter from the fourth assistant postm aster general stating th at the appropriation m ade by th e govern m ent to the three counties will be held up unless some action is taken very soon in sending in a route of the road , proposed th at will pass through the three counties. T hegovernm enthas already ap portioned $20,000 to the three coun ties, $6,000 to Forsyth, $6,000 to Iredell, and $8,000 to Davie, and it is thought th at possibly $10,000 m ore can be secured through strenuons effort. There are other counties in the S tate clam oring fo r an appor tionm ent and the governm ent de sires early action; A ttorney T. B. Bailey, of Davie county, expressed him self as being in favor of the bridge; th a t he wish ed to see it built and a t once. H e declared th at while W inston Salem now has a large p art of the TRADE OF DAVIE COUNTY THAT IT W ILL GET MORE IF TH E BRIDGE IS BUILT. A ttorney A. T. G rant . declared th at the representatives of the two counties had agreed on $25,000 as the am ount to b& expended on the bridge a t the last legislature, th at Davie county was willing for it to cost $40,000 in order to g et it. He declared th at if action was not ta ken yesterday th at the three coun ties will not only lose the m oney ap portioned to them by the govern m ent but th at it will probably also be years and years before overtures are m ade again looking to the erec tion of the bridge. ~T Ie preached the gospel of acting how. H e sta t ed th at Davie is planning a good road to the Forsyth line and th at one will also be built to the 'Iredell line; th at the bridge' will not only draw TRADE TO FO RSYTftCOUNr TY FROM DAVIE COUNTY, but from p arts of Iredell and Yadkin counties. Joe H am pton Rich also m ade a speech. The Record w ants the bridge built thi^ea&J&ut,«we feel- sorry %for the poor old m erchants of Davie- county if they are goipg to lose m uch .m ore trade. The trouble w ith Mocksville today is th at too much Davie county money finds its way to W inston, Statesville. Salisbury and other big towns. W ew ill never'"am ount to much until we educate our, people to trade a t home. He Looked Upon The Wine. Statesville Landmark.

Fitts was taken to Raleigh, it is said, together with Finger and the two other negroes, Kirkpatrick and Maxwell, whom he also implicated. There seems to be no doubt that the alibi established by Kirkpatrick will be sufficient: On the night of the murder he was at the home of a deputy sheriff of the county miles from Barber’s Junction, Liming an ice cream freezer. Kirkpat rick is said to have been the one charged by Finger with having fired the ^shot which killed Lyerly. The fourth man implicated is still at large, but officers believe they will soon effect his' capture. Deputy Insurance Commissioner Scott and Salisbury officers have found that the trail of Finger is one written in blood. Four years ago, it is stated, he killed a white man at Roating Gap, Tenn., and served two years in the Tennessee peni tentiary for this crime. A little more than two years ago in Catawba county, near Catawba Station, he is said to have killed another negro for having spit in his dinner. For this offense he served 18 months, regaining his freedom about 8 Kappa’s Chronic Kicker.

Editor:—If one was to take the newspaper reports on th e new highway as a basis for a conclusion fhey would think all was satisfactory all along the line and throughout the county, but such is not the case. I speak only for Calahaln township. From the published reports one w o u l d infer that the route fo r th e r o a d by Calahaln was the cheapest and nearest route from Mpcksville to Statesville, but any m an th a t Has sense enough to go in out of th e rain, can see th at it is not th e near- esi route—that the m ost direct route would lead through South Calahaln, besides South Carolina has tw o bet ter bridge sites than on th e pro posed route It w ould also take much less grading than th e propos ed route. It would also accom odate more people in the tow nship. From Mocksvilleto Calahaln th e people are right thickly settled to. be sure, but from Calahaln to D. L. Low ery’s which is fully one-fourth of th e way through the township, th ere is but one family living. N ow w e a re not objecting to N orth C alahaln. having the highway, but w e do object to spending all of the tow nship’s p a rt of the good road m oney on one road when it could be built cheaper an other way, and distribute' th e im proved roads m ore evenly over the county. A s itis th e re w illS S th re e roads within a few m iles of each other and leave another distance of at least ten miles wide w ithout any improved road. Give South Cala haln half of the money or h e r pro portion according to th e tax w e pay and we will let N orth Calahaln take the National Highway and go re joicing. I don’t think th a t m ore than two of our Road Commission ers were ever in South Calahaln. We invite them to come in and look at us. They m ay.be like a tax lister from North Calahaln a tew Iyeaiw ago who came to w hat w as K appa postoffice at th at tim e to list taxes without sending any notices into the community telling w hen— he would be there. W hen asked why he didn’t advertise he said he did not think anybody m uch lived down here. I was once traveling over the BlueRidgeat a gap w here there were but three houses the entire distance from the bottom to th e top of the mountain. W hen I m et a na tive and asked him w here they g o t hands to keep their road in such good condition he said th e woods were full of them . So w e say to our commissioners th e woods are full of them in South Calahaln. It has been frequently said th a t one of our Road Commissioners said th a t South Calahaln did not deserve any thing and should not have anything if he could help it. This m ay be untrue, but if it is he has th e privi lege of “ showing u s.” Don’t de serve anything! M aybethat is the reason that we have never had b u t one county commissioner in th e m e mory of man. M aybe th a t is the reason we have had b u t one taxlist- er in the memory of m an. M aybe that is the reason we have had b u t one justice of the peace. M aybe that is the reason w e had to go to North Calahaln to cast our ballot until recently. M aybe th a t is the reason the school teacher a t Davie Academy was allowed to teach only W days for the money appropriated by the State when the S tate said he should teach 21.

The postoffiee department is a fnony institution. If a patron waits on himself, be must pay for it; if the department waits on him it pays for it. For instance. Ton rent a postoffiee box, the price of which is.advancing; ytfnr mail is put in it and you go and get it without bothering any one; you thus pay for waiting on yourself. If you don’t want a box, yon can call at the general delivery aDd get your mail, or you can have it delivered four times a day at your business office, and it costs you nothing and you save the rental of a lock box. It is the only business heard of that is willing to pay the expense of waiting on you and the only business that makes you pay for waiting on yourself. Instead of congress trying to ran the department it might turn it over to some business man and let him mauage - it.—Qreensboro Re cord. No; And You Won’t.

BEVARE of OINTMENTS for CATARRH THAT CONTAIN MERCURY. There is more Catarrh in this sec tion o the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local dis ease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it. incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis ease and therefore requires consti tutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Care, manufactured by F. J. Che ney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cureon the mar ket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonul. It acts directly on the blood and mu cous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars or any case it fails to cure. Send or cir culars and testimonials. CASTORIA For TwfflHts and Children.

'It turns out that the Postofiice Depart ment alone is to blame for ths misunder standing, and the subsequent withdrawal of the $20,000 due North Carolina. “Mr. Vamer was not to blame because he had already gotten for his project the $10,000 to aid in the building of the road from the Guilford County line to Lexing ton. “The trouble occurred by reason of the fact tbat the department understood that tlie road 52 miles long from Winston- Salem to Statesville via Moeksville was to be built for $60,000. The department turned down the proposition because they did not see how a road- of that length could be built for that amount of money. "Of the $60,000, above referred to, the Government was-to pay $20,000 and the counties $40,000. W henitwas explained at the department that Davie County had voted a bond issue of $175,000 for the pur- pose'of building roads, Iredell, 400,000-and that Forsyth County had already complet ed her roads with the exception of a gtretch of about six miles; and this $6(\- 000 was to be used only for the purpose of completing centain lines in the road in order to have an ideal road from Winston- Salem to Statesville, the Postmaster Gen eral assured the North Carolina delegation that, in the course of two or. three , weeks, he .thought it mofe^ (&an_. prob£Ue -sthafe them atterw o® bjrTiiri and the Department of Agriculture. This explanation was satisfactory' tothe dele gration. The Fourtii Assistant PostmasterGen- eral, under whom this matter directly comes, is absent from the city and will not return for 10 days. Neither Mr. Vamer nor the Governor were at all asleep. The Postoffice Depart ment here misunderstood the matt er which caused all the trouble which, in all pos sibility, will be satisfactorily adjusted , to all parties.” Everybody is happy. H. B. Vaner who came to town early today cleared his re- cord. To The Observer correspondent he said: “At the request of Mr. Hanes I spent last Thursday in Winston-Salem assisting him in preparing his report and papers, hoping the Postoffice Department would reconsider and allow them to secure the 00 which they stood ready to meet with $40,000 for building a road of 40 miles between Winston-Salem and States ville. “I have had nothing whatever to do with the Winstbn-Statesvilie-MockL rille appropriation except since the appropria tion has been withdrawn I have been do-' ing everything I could to did them in having the appropriation restored.: There is no foundation whatever for the errone ous report sent out from .Washinetonj cor respondents that appeared in the Sunday .morning papers in reference: to my being responsible for the loss of this money, to the State'. . - ... “Mr. George L Wood, chief of rural di visions, of the Foruth Assistant ’ Post master General's office, who had charge of this matter, fully exonerated me .this morning in the presenee of Senator Over man, Congressman Doughton, Capt.

Washington Dispatch to Greensboro News. A report is going the rounds to the effect that former President Boosevelt is to make a number of speeches in Borth Carolina soon, after uis return from abroad. The report ascribes to the colonel the intention of ‘ 'stumping the State” in the general interest of the Moose cause, thfs being, it is said, the recurrence of the old Boosevelo idea of breaking the solid South.” The Washington Star stated editorially that such was Mr. RooSevelt’s in tention, However, Congressman Hinebaugh and other close friends of Mr. Boosevelt question the authenticity of the report. They 6aid that, if Mr Rooseveltcontem plated a North Carolina stumping tour they had not been advised the fact. o f To Meet in Raleigh June 17. The Democratic State committee, in session in Baleigh Tuesday night, named Wednesday June 17, as the date of the meeting of the Demo cratic State convention.

The dates for county primaries and conventions are to elect dele g des to the State convention.

LaFollette, of Wisconsin, is a very progressive Republican but he declines to be considered remotely or in any degree d Progressive Of the Roose velt brand. In Washington the other day he gave out a decidedly unequivocal answer to the question as to which side he will throw his influence in future political battles between the Republican and Pro gressive parties. His declaration was made in a telegram to Bodolph Spreekies, of San Francisco. Senator LaFoIlette puts himself on record as unalterably opposed to the Boosevelt party. He prefers to align himself along wite Senators Bristow and Cummins, his progres sive Republican colleagues in the Senate, with what he terms the progressive Republicans. He de clares that wherever elections have been held the vote cast furnishes unmistakable evidence that ‘‘the third party was a transitory pro test.” He does not regard it is a party and thinks it will be only a matter of time that it will not figure as a iormidable political organization in any State.—Wilm ington Star.
