The press dispatches last week
that Willie Davis, the
young North Carolinian who was
under sentence of death at Fort
Worth, Tex., has died in his cell
in the jail there. He was to have
been hanged on the 10th of this
month. It is believed now by
many that he had been supplied
with some kind of acid and took
life. He is accredited
repeatedly that he
Mid not die upon the gallows.
Young Davis in the same one over
so much interest was
in this State last fall, when
it was stated that he was under
unjust sentence of and an
appeal for funds was made that
his case might be taken to a high-
court. It will remembered
that while the appeal going
around Greenville made a liberal
response. The effect failed to get
him another trial decision
of the lower court was sustained.
The State Alliance is
in session this week at Morehead.
The meeting is looked to with con-
interest, as the outsider
cannot know in advance whether
the extremist or the more
of the order are to control
its movements. There are many
excellent men in the Alliance
some of the best in all our land
who have only the welfare of their
fellow-laborers and the general
good of their country at heart. On
the other hand there are men who
have admission into the
order who would pollute the
poses which it was organized,
whose only interest is and
who hope by stirring up
to get themselves into
power and advance their
aims. We hope the better
will prevail and shape the
future policy of the order. If so
much good can be accomplished.
If the extremists rule there is
to fear.

campaign in Pennsylvania this
year and that in his efforts for
vindication ho may even become
chairman of the Republican state

better for the Democrats than this

that it may not be carried out.
The fact has been recognized by
the Democrats ever since tho car-
of Republican financial
crookedness, begun by
and not ended by Treasurer Bard

Men and Their
Men are often more fussy and par-
about insignificant tilings than
women. There are thousands of men
in New York who go miles out of their
way to get shaved. I know men who
come down on the elevated, and who
get off at some intermediate point to
patronize a favorite barber. They have
done so for years. The array of
cups in any shop illustrates the
strength of tills shaving habit When
a busy business man will sit half an
hour In one of these shops and fumble
the flash papers while he waits for his
particular tonsorial artist to be at lib-
it strengthens tho conviction that
he la weaker than a woman. The man
who doesn't learn to shave himself while
his beard Is young is laying up a life of
slavery to public barbers. In the
course of an ordinarily long lifetime he
will spend about three years sitting
around a barber shop and a year or two
more going and York

One dark and rainy night of the year
the brave pioneer, whose reckless
nature had won for him the title of

known far and wide, found himself
some fifteen miles from home and with
the river, swollen and
lent from the recent rain, between him-
self and his destination.
Wolves howled upon every hand, but
he paid no particular attention to
them, pressing steadily on In the

At length, however, ho noticed that
tho grim scavengers of the forest were
beginning to congregate In large
into the trail behind

and snarling at one another as they

This served to give him a slight
easiness of mind as he urged his horse
forward.
Steadily the horde of wet, shaggy
forms increased in number until it
seemed a thousand of them were
crowding along upon the pioneer's
track, making night hideous with
their babel of snarling voices.
How swiftly in pursuit came that
writhing mass of now thoroughly en-
raged brutes, and though tho pioneer
was swift of foot ho had to
put forth every effort to keep of
their way, n ml there in the darkness of
the Wisconsin wilderness ensued a
race for and death.
The ground was fairly smooth, and
this aided man some-

Like the very wind ho sped along,
his only hope lying in reaching the river
in advance of his fierce pursuers, for

would be safe
But fully five miles lay between him
and the river, and it indeed be
a miracle to reach It; but wholly
daunted the reckless fellow sped on,
his teeth closed firmly and his eyes
gleaming with all the Are of Ids wild,
excitable nature.
Mile after mile was cast behind, and
daylight was beginning to steal over
the land the swift and swollen
hove in sight.
T o ground sloped toward It, and
down this descent flew pursued and
pursuers, with scarce feet separating
them.
For over five miles had that desperate

he was by his superhuman speed,
performed a feat that was simply
marvelous and almost unparalleled.
Tho banks of the stream were high
and projecting, and scarcely eighty rods
below tho river fell over a mass of jag
rocks that no one could hope to
pass over olive, while it would be
possible to effect a when once
