Madison Man Takes His Life.
J. Matt Rierson, of Madison, com-mitted
suicide at his home in that
place Monday evening. He left his
work about 6 o'clock, walked to his
home, a block away, and asked his
wife, who was preparing supper, if
she didn'i. want to kiss him good-bye,
and immediately walkod into an
adjoining room and shot himself
through the heart with a .32 caliber
pistol. Brooding over ill health and
the fear that he would have to un-dergo
another operation are said to
have been the causes of the rash
act.
Mr. Rierson was 38 years old and
is survived by his widow and five
children, a brother and several sis-ters.

Young Boy Steps on Fishbone With
Fatal Results.
""he six-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. George McClintock, who reside
on Battle Ground avenue, just out-side
the city limits, died qf lockjaw
Saturday afternoon, the fatal dis-ease
having resulted from a wound
in the boy's foot caused by a fish-bone.
While playing in the road in
front of his parents' residence Fri-day
the HUle fellow stepped on a
fishbone, a sharp portion of which
entered his foot. Going home, the
regular home remedies for such a
wound were applied and the little
fellow did not seem to be seriously
ha**, ge'*lng about later in the af-ternoon
and going to bed that night
without complaining.
The. parents first became alarmed
Saturday when the foot was found
to be badly inflamed. A physician
was called and he in turn called a
brother of the profession, both real-izing
from the first that their fight
would be a desperate one. An inci-sion
was made in the foot and a
piece of 'ho bone which had broken
off in the flesh removed, but de-spite
every effort known to science
the lad grew rapidly worse. Lockjaw
had developed and all possible to
relieve the intense pain was done
until death occurred late Saturday
afternoon.
The funeral was conducted from
the home Sunday afternoon by Rev.
H. M. Blair and interment made "n
Greene Hill cemotery.

The Central Carolina fair opened

crowds considerably. As is usually
the caoe, the attendance the first
day was not large, but yesterday
several thousand people passed
through the gates and today a mul-titude
will fill the grounds.

Proposed to Blow UP Panama Canal
Locks.
Indianapolis, Ind., OcL 7.—The
McNamaras and Ortie McManigal
once discussed a proposal to blow up
the locks of the Panama canal. Dis-trict
Attorney Charles W. Miller told
the jury at the trial of the accused
"dynamiters conspirators" today.
The incident occurred, according to
Mr. Miller, Just before the arrest of
the Los Angeles dynamiters, when
they were becoming dpsperate in
their efforts to secure explosives.
"John J. called James B. Mc-
Namara, his brother, and McManigal
to the headquarters of the Interna-tional
Association of Bridge and
Structural iron Workers,'' said Mr.
Miller. "John J. said to McManigal,
■We can't get any more dynamite
around here without stealing it. Now
you go to Panama and aee what you
:an do down there. The McClintic-
Marshall Construction Company has
1 lot of dynamite stored down there
i'ou could easily get hold of it and
low up the >ocks. That would make
'em sit up and take notice and take
■neir minds off the Los Angeles af-
'air.' McManigal refused to go at
that time. Soon after they all were
irrested."
Col. P&arson Deposed as Secretary.
Ei^ht members of . the executive
committee of the Progressive party
la North Carolina held a meeting |
here Saturday afternoon and passed
resolutions against anything like
fusion with the Republicans and de-posing
Col. W. S. Pearson as secre-tary
of the committee. Mr. R. H.
Beisecker was elected secretary,
and it was decided to • move state
headquarters to Lexington, where
both the secretary and the chairman,
Mr. Z. V. Walser, reside. The de-posing
of Col. Pearson is reported
to be due to friction between him
and the state chairman.
Cd. Pearson has ignored the ac-tion
of the committee and is con-tinuing
to direct a Roosevelt cam-paign
from headquarters In the Ben-iiow
building.
