TKRMS OF SUBSCRIPTION • copy, ^ne car» copy, Six Month*, c01>y. Three Month* - •1.00 AO 20 rORTAXT TO COUNTY SCHOOL BOARDS. cState Superintendent ofPub- Instruction decides that all nty and District funds both present and from previous years t be used before aid is asked the second $100,000 appro ted for school purposes. e publish the above to show of the reasons why Davie nty did nor get any of the 2nd 0,000 of State funds to aid iD 'ng longer school terms. There been an effort on the part of t and especially the County perinteudeut, J. D. Hodges, (if i* quoted correctly in his letter the State Superintendent) to oulder the responsibility of the ort term of the schools in this unty on the County Commission- Now we are going to give the Uic a few facts and figures, and ey can draw their own couclu- ons: In 1900 there was availa- for all purposes, $6,376,67. p to the present time for the year 01 there is $6,912.87 for all pur­ ses, showing that there was vailable $566.20 more on hand for e past winter than for the schools ne year ago. Y et, the school ns are shorter in almost every istrict. We will now compare ■-e apportionment of a few towtt- Iiips * year ago and now and see ow it comes out: Mocksville wnshipa year ago was given 1009.20, this wintgr Mocksville eired$6S7, being 9322.20 less hanit received one year ago. Htruiington got a year ago $1,294.- 85, this winter it got -$922, being •372.S5 less than it rec’d a year ago. derusalem gotoiicyearago 9872.90, this winter it received $757, being ♦115.90 less than it received one year ago. The Board apportioned for »11 the schools in the County for the past winter $4,722, thus lsavingabalanceon hand for ex­ penses of the board, Superintend­ ent, Commissions, etc of $2,220 87 It looks like this is a big amount to set aside, comprising nearly one third of the entire school fund. Ev­ ery intelligent man who has read the law, knows that the board had no right to hold any of ’ this years funds back to pay claims for pre­ vious years. This being so, with s balance of unexpended funds on hand, we could not get any of the 2nd (100,600 from the State, thus Havis is the loser. This matter trill be further discussed later on, for the lieuetit of the public, for the people have a right to know the facts in the case. A CONTEMPTIBLE CUR. One parting word with theMocksville Record; we would rath- er be a •‘mummy” than a hired falsifier of our neighbors.—Wilks- boro Chronicle. The above is a favorite method of the small fry editors of the DoInocratie persuasion in making attacks on those who have left the Democratic party. When you charge them with rascality in elec­ tions, instead of disproving or at­ tempting to disprove the charges they make personal, attacks upon you. We have tried as far as pos­ sible to avoid personalities, and only indulge in them "when we think it justifiable, and at all times we try not to make indecent and untruthful charges against any one. We never knowingly and wilfully bring a false charge against anyone; and right here we wish to say that should we ever say any thing untrue about anyone, we are at all times ready and willing to make due apology and amends for the same. We dislike on this occasion to characterize the editor of the Chron icle in language we think justifi­ able on this occasion. When Bob Deal says we are a hired falsifier he simply lies out of the whole cloth, and none but a contemptible cowardly cur would have said it; he would not dare say it in our presence, but taking advantage*of the distance which separates ns he can indulge in language which no decent gentleman would use without provication. Instead of circulating a malicious lie in hiB littledirty sheet, why did . he not bring forward ^roof to his, readers showing the falsity of our asser­ tions? Hehould not do it, there­ fore he resorts to a personal at­ tack upon us, which- coming from the source it does, inflicts no harm upon us where we are known, For the abqve utterance we brand him a cowardly cur, and a contempti­ ble, common liar: “TILLMAN.” The Voice of Nagging Olouds the happiuessofthehome bat a nagging woman often' needs belp.

Hackensack, N. J. SENATORS M cLAURIN AND TILLMAN FIGHT. What a disgraceful affair that was on the floor oj the Senate at -Washingtonyesterday,' when two Senators engaged in a street brawl. Tillman deserved just the char acterization he got, though the Senate was not the place to have applied it. Of Tillman’s vulgar and coward­ ly charge that provoked the retort of his colleague and his subsequent “jumping over benches” to as­ sault a Senator, no two opinions among decent men can obtain, nor can there be a difference of opin­ ion as to what course the Senate should pursue. A coarse, bluster­ ing bully, he has disgraced his State, section and country long enough, and as he has furnished the Senate an uncontrovertible reason for terminating bis misrep­ resentation, that body owes it to its own decency and the dignity of the country to expel him.—Ral­ eigh Post. Of all the short articles we have read, none strikes us more forcibly than the above; it’s to the point, and suggests the proper course to pursue in onr bumble opinion. The South has been misrepre­ sented and cursed long enough by the blatant, filthy mouth of Ben Tillman, He is a disgrace to his State, and a burden to the South, and should be retired to private life. It seems impossible for him to make a decent speech anywhere or under any circumstances. Senator McLaurin has a right as well as other people in this conn-. Iry to vote as they please without being accused of being a bribe-tak­ er. These people who are continual­ ly impugning the motives ot oth­ ers, and accusing them of selling out, are dirty mouthed curs, and contemptible cowards, and as a general rule they make their charges behind one’s back, and when the person assaulted is at a respectable distance, which shows their cowadice and vileness. Tillman in his disgraceful con duct, not only brings a serious charge against Senator McLanrin, bnt assaults the high character of man whose mouth is forever closed, and whose honored dust sleeps in his native home in Ohio, William -McKinley, the man whose life refutes even a suspicion of a bribe giver. Tbe man who would stand up in the U. S- Senate, aiid asperse the character of such a man as William McEiDley, is a disgrace ito his State’ his section Uud his country, and is unworthy a seat in the National Assembly, and should be expelled and sent home to a merited disgrace. A coarse, vulger, indecent specimen, Iisgrace to the prond Anglo- Saxon race from which he claims descent. He'has violated the rules of the Senate, and richly deserves expulsion. Instead' of being of service to his State and section, he has dilligently labored all these years to drag it down to his own vile level. Away with him.

She wanted Money, to Buy an Is land for a Summer Home and She Earned It. There is a pretty story in con­ nection with the series of .articles which Helen Keller, the wonder­ ful blind girl, has written for THE LADIES’ HOME JOURNAL, tel­ ling about her own life from infan­ cy to the present day. She always hasshrunk from thepublicity which follows successful literary work, and it wss with great difficult} that she was pursuaded to take up the task of preparing ner autobio­ graphy. She had, however, set her heart on owning an island in Halifax harbor for asummerhome, and in a spirit of fun the editor of The Journal offered to bay it for her, or to provide the meanBto buy it. ‘ When the work of writing ap­ peared especially irksome Miss Keller was reminded other desire to become a land-holder, and it spurred her on. Just before' Ghristmas she completed the first chapter of her marvelous story; and on Christmas morning she re­ ceived from her publishers a check for a good round sum. Her de­ light may be imagined, for this was the first money of any account- which she had ever earned. “It is a fairy tale come true,” she said, whether she will really carry out her plan to buy the Island remains to beseen.

MANY PLACES ARE EELUGED. TheDomeofthe Capitol of Georgia Injured—Flood Warnings Issued by Weather Bureau. Atlanta Special.—The southeastern Gulf States were deluged by rain Thursday night and Friday. The pre­ cipitation was very heavy and at Co­ lumbus, Ga., a bridge was swept away at 5 o’clock. The rainfall was almost a cloudburst, the Chattahoochee river rising at the rate of two feet an hour. Several washouts were reported on a number of roads and trains out of Co­ lumbus were annulled. There has been no loss of life. The Columbus bridge broke in two about a hundred feet from the Georgia shore and went sweeping flown stream at a frightful pace. Just fou** nnd a half blocks below it is the other bridge which cresses to Girard, Ala., and it also would have been car­ ried away had not the fall over the Eagle and Phoenix dam demolished the floating bridge before it reached it. The electric light and telephone wires run­ ning over to Phoenix City and Girard went across on. the bridge and they were snapped like threads. The water pipes which supplied the city with water were also on the bridge and they, too, were broken like sticks and car­ ried away, leaving the city without LAUiOED THE METEOR. Principal Object of Prince Henry’s Visit AccompJshed. New York, SpeciaL-The all-impor­ tant event in the itinerary of Prince Henry of Prussia was the launching of the Emperor’s yacht Meteor, buill at Shooter’s Island, for the Prince's brother, the Germany Emperor. The christening ceremony was performed by Miss Alice Roosevelt, daughter of the President of the United States, in the presence of the Prince, German Ambassador Von Holleben and a bril­ liant assemblage. The Meteor moved down the ways at XO: 39 amid a scene of great en­ thusiasm. The launching proper was without mishap and presented a grace­ ful and beautiful picture, though it was accomplished in a drizzling rain and other inauspicious atmospheric changes .The special train bearing President Roosevelt arrived at Jersey City at 6:40 a. m. The President re­mained on board until the arrival of the Prince’s train a few minutes af­ter 8 o'clock. A cylinder head on the engine of Prince Henry’s special blew out and the train was more than an hour late in reaching Jersey City. The accident occurred shortly after leav­ing Baltimore. The stalled train was pushed into Magnolia, Md., by a pas­senger Iraln and there got a new en­ gine. Soon.after 8 o’clock the Presi­dent and Prince and suites embarked on a boat for Shooter’s Island. The ferryboat had time to spare on the run down to Shooter’s Island and it was decided to visit the squadron. The squadron fired a salute of 21 guns. The flagship Illinois and the Cincinnati fired first and then the Olympia and San Francisco offered their tribute of powder. President Roosevelt and Prince Henry were photographed together and then took a brisk walk together through the cabwater for a time. The water company has an old submerged main across the In of the ferry boat It was damp and river and this was placed into commis­ sion saving the city from a water famine. The rain has been falling in torrents all day. No trains except the Central of Georgia from Miacon hare reached Columbus since noon. A washout near Seale, Ala., holds the Mobile and Girard passenger train due this miorning. The departing of trains was annulled There are several washouts on the Sea­ board Air Line. Washouts are also re­ ported on .the Southern Railway be­ tween here and Shiloh. Tonight the Associated Press wire is the only one In operation toward the North. After ah intermittent rain of 20 days Bir­ mingham was deluged 'early this mem ing. The rain flooded the streets and many street crossings were torn away. AU streams are swollen and rapidly rising.The total rainfall in Montgomery Ala., up to 7 p. m., was 4.50 inches and a heavy downpour is reported in other parts of Alabama. The barometer re­ corded 2i9.-23, the lowest reading on re­cord in the city. The excessive rainfall has caused a rapid rise in the Coosa and Alabama rivers. The director of the weather bureau has issued warn­ings for points below Wetumpeka, and advised that stock be removed from chilly on the bay and exercise- was welcome.The party proceeded directly from the ferryboat to the stand which had been erected at the in-shore of the ways on which the Meteor rested, the guns meanwhile booming salutes, and the crowd cheering enthusiastically. The Prince and Miss Roosevelt ar­rived on the platform at 10:22. Tne Prince conducted Miss Roosevelt to the small platform immediately under the bow of the boat. During the pre­liminaries on the stand a photograph­ er from the Hohenzollern stood by with a camera and took numerous snapshots. The Prince looked at him occasionally and smiled. Two moving picture machines were trained on the scene and there were scores of cam­eras levelled at the party. In a driz­ zling rain, amid the roar of cannon, great cheering and waving of flags, the Meteor was launched. The scene was one of animation and good hu­mor, the cue for the latter spirit being taken from Prince Henry and Miss BURGLARS HANGED. T^o of Emma PosfoffIce Robbers Go on Scaffold. A HISTORY OF THEIR CRIME GIVEN Both Men Faced Death BraveIy-The Crime For Which They Died Was a Notable One. ' Asheville, N, C., SpedaL-Frank Johnson, white, and Ben Foster, col­ ored, were hanged here at 12:30 o’clock Wednesday for the crime of burglary. Public executions are mot allowed in North Carolina, but a crowd of several thousand people assembled around the jail several hours before the execution and waited until the bodies were brought out in their coffins. Foster, the negro, made a sipeech to tlie crowd from a window of the jail. He declared ho was ready to- die and expected to go to heaven. He said there was no Scriptural warrant for execu­ tion except for murder, and hoped all present would endeavor to have the law making .burglary a capital offense re­ pealed. He then began singing the hymn, ‘‘Pass me-not, 0, gentle Sa­ vior.” At 12 o’clock the prisoners were led from tho cell to the enclosure In which the scaffold was erected, both mount­ ing the steps firmly without assistance. The white man had a smile on his face and both wore carnations in button­ holes. Each man was attended by a minister of his own color. Johnson when asked what/he had to say ,exhorted the witnesses to prepare for eternity, and said, he hoped to be the last man hanged for the crime of burglary. Rev. W. M. Vines read a fu­ neral service and offered prayer, after which Poster made another speech and sang another hymn in a firm, clear voice. Then he said: “Farewell to you all, long farewell this world of sin,” his voice breaking for the first time. Johnson had shown absolutely no signs of emotion. Both men were firm and calm to the last, Johnson smiling repeatedly. STORY OF A NOTED CRIME. The story of the crime for which the four men—Johnson and Gates, white, and Foster and Mills, colored, were sentenced to die on the gallows i3 in some respects, unique in the annals of criminal jurisprudence.

The unprecedented rainfall there has rendered the recent improve­ ments along the river utterly useless. Fancy pries are being paid for all kinds of labor. A patrol for all-night duty along the river was established there at 9 p. m. In Atlanta rain fell in torrents, all day. The wind damaged the ventiJaLors in the dome of the capitol and blew in several panes of glass. The water dam­aged many of the offices. The telegraph companies were severely handicapped by the rain and lightning which was at times incessant. The rainfall up to 8 o’clock at night was 3.36 inches. The barometer was the lowest on record. The Atlanta weather bureau sent flood warnings to all points in Alabama and Georgia reached by the Chattahooclm and Alabama rivers. In, the southwestern section of this State the rain and wind storm almost attained the proportions of a cyclone and it is feared considerable damage will result.

He approached the grave of the first President with bared head, and that there might be nothing irrever­ ent in the ceremoney, asked the hold­ ers of a dozen cameras who stood around to refrain from photographing him. Prince Henry walked to the Washington home, and was driven . from there down over the slope of the : hill to the tomb. When the Iron gate of the tomb was opened, he placed flowers upon it, and later planted a tree in the cemetery. The latter had to repeatedy bow her acknowledgments. The Prince immediately after the launching sent the following cablegram in German: “To the German Emperor, Berlin: Yacht just launched under brilliant auspices. Christened by Miss Roose­ velt’s hand.

Foster had a 44 In his pocket Going from there to the safe 4n which the postoffice funds were kept, the men ordered Mr. Alexander to open it. He tried to temporize, as there was in the safe a considerable sum in gold, which belonged to Mr. McLelland’s wife. Tbreafening to kill him if he refused, they again ordered him to open the safe, and he did so. Johnson knelt down before it,.and Foster stood on guard. A rat moved. The noise it made doomed two men to die on the gallows and two to life imprisonment. The negro, true to the instincts of his race turned his head. Alexander seized the opportunity, grasped his own. pistol which Johnson had laid down, and pointed it at Foster as the latter again turned. A terrible struggle ensued, in which Alexander was so seriously shot by Foster, that for days after his life hunv by a thread; he in turn shot and danveronsly wounded Foster; Foster shot -h?s fel!o*w in crime by accident, and before they left him, on the steps outside the door, tbe robbers had beaten Alexander over the head'and ont him on the bands.

Jndre Sthesw presiding. The four men were arraigned on an in­dictment of burglary, and able counsel was appointed to defend them. Public feeling ran high, and for several days it was thought necessary to guard^ihe jail with two companies of militia and a posse of citizens. The case was con­ tinued on account of Alexander’s In­ability to appear in court, and the men were removed secretly to the Meck- lcuburg ja^l for safe keeping.The trial of the men was again begun Lit* a term of Superior Court held in. AuriI.-Judge George A. Jones presiding' wjhich term was decided to be irregu­lar by the Supreme Court. The men were arraigned a third time before Judge Fred Moore, on June 3. On June 11 the jury returned a. verdict of guilty of burglary in the first degree and on June 15 they were sentenced to die. August 16 being set as the date for their execution. The case was av- noftied to the Supreme Court, which, in December, affirmed the judgment ot th§ lower court and Govetnor Aycock fixed today as the day of the hanging. 'Numerous petitions, both in favor of and against commutation, were sent to .the Governor, and he commuted the sentence of Gates and Mills last Fri­day. Public feeling is veiy much divid­ed here, but it is probable that a ma­ jority believed all four men ought to be hangod Tlie Future of the South. Baltimore* Special.—A striking fea* ture of last week’s issue of the Manu­ facturers’ Record, its twentieth ^ anni­ versary number, is the unanimity of the views expressed in it by authorities in diverse fields as to the wonderful fu* ture of the South. These contributors include officials of the scientific depart­ ments of the United States government, men of national standing as experts in finance and transportation, others who have made prolonged study of South­ ern condition and others who have long been prophets of Southern development and have participated therein by actual investment, or through poUsity in the undertakings which hare made the South today. Their views must have a world-wide influence in strengthening the upward movement of the South’s material interests. Prominent among these contributors is Mr. Stephen Jeans, of London, sec­ retary of the British Iron Trade Asso­ ciation whoi s convinced by a close ob­ servation of Southern endeavor that he knows of no section in the United States, “with its cup of blessings fresh from nature's hands, so overflowing as the Southern States.” Figures tracing the wonderful prog­ ress in Southern railroads during the past 20 years are re-enforced by the opinion of Mr. M. E. Ingalls, president of the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis. Col. Alfred E. Shepperson, the noted cotton statistician of Now York, quotes the expert opinion of Mr. Thomas El­ lison, of Liverpool, that “it looks as if the South will very shortly consume more 'cotton than the North,” and adds himself: “I heartily agree with him that it is only a matter of time when the Southern mills will undoubtedly use more cotton than those of the Northern States.” In spite of the revo­ lution wrought in the cotton mill in­ dustry, based upon the long establish­ ed Southern staple, Secretary James Wilson, of the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture, does not think that the South will be much longer known and thought of primarily as the land of cotton. He says: “With the great industrial progress of the South­ern States and the development of their wonderful mineral and manufacturing resources comes the best of all markets for the farmer—the great home mar­ ket. More and more I hope to see the agriculture of the South diversified as this great home market expands. Let the cotton crop continue to increase in total production, but let its growth be rather by higher average per acre than a very large extension of tho area under this crop. Let Southern farmers keep the plant food at home, and send the products of the farm to market In the form of manufactured articles (manufactured on the farm by nature’s procession) rather than in the form ot raw material. Let them grade up their flocks and herds, and keep many more of all kinds of domestic animals. Let them renovate the soil by the use of legumes, and save all the fertilizing material that tbe farm itself produces. Then will the agriculture of the South show in the census to be taken in 1910 advances greater by far than even the great progress made in the last 20 years of her history. Mr. 0. P. Austin, chief of the bu­ reau of statistics of the United States Treasury Department, shows that tbe growth of foreign commerce at South­ ern ports has more than kept pace with the phenomenal development of our national commerce. A fit climax to the expressions of hopefulness is the statement of that practical minded prophet of Southern greatness, Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, of New York: “There is no correspond­ ing region on this habitable globe South, all available by natural or ar- tificiaLcommunications, and capable of more economical onerations than in any other part of the country.” WAS DINES AT THE WHITE HOUSE Prominent Statesmen and DiplomaU Joined In Honoring Oor Royal Quest.

Washington, Special.—Prince Henry and suite and escorts and the German ambassador arrived here Monday -morning, precisely on schedule time.. The trip from Baltimore, to Washing­ ton was without incident. In the out­ lying districts of Baltim- re, crowds gathered to watch the departing train and at several points from there on­ ward, there were little groups at the stations past which tbe train sped. Tbo Prince occupied the time during the run from Baltimore to Washington in demorcratio fashion, talking freely with those about him, as they discus­ sed tbe country and the details of his visit. ,Secretary of State Hay, Secretary of the Navy Long and Assistant Secre­ tary of State Pierce, who had imme­diate charge of the arrangements at the depot, awaited the arrival of the train at the depot. They remained m an improvised reception room, tne walls of which were heavily draped with intertwining American and Ger­ man flags. The embassy officials were in full uniform. A burly cavalryman stood outside and announced the ar­ rival of the train. It halted just out- jida the depot, the engine detached ond the train backed down the train shed. The incoming party passed quickly in­ to the Prince’s car and formally ex­ tended to him the welcome to the city. A few moments later the party emerg­ ed and passed to the reception room. Walking rapidly and with the erect bearing of a trained naval officer, smil­ ing to the group of officials, detectives and newspaper men, through a double line of whom he passed, and saluting with a touch of his hand to the glim­mering chapeau he wore, Prince Henry crossed the carpeted depot aisle and entered the reception rooms. There he remained three minutes. Finally Prince Henry, accompanied by Secre­ tary Hay and Rear Admiral Evans, en­tered the last of the open carriages, 'i he carriages of the others were driven up -in line and the Prince’s carriage dashed at rapid speed to the head ^ of the line. Instantly the police and mili­ tary escorts wheeled into position and the party started up Pennsylvania avenue for the White House. Ahead of the police and carriages marched the military escort, comprising Troops F and G of the Second Onited States Cavalry, toom Fort Myer, headed by the cavalry band, and the Foutrh Bat­ tery of Artillery, all under the com­mand of Lieutenant Dlmmick. Backed along each side of the route in addition to the police, were over 100 men of the District of Columbia militia. They formed a double line of sentinels at in­ tervals of four paces. Never in its history has the White House been the scene of a more bril­liant spectacle than when President Roosevelt welcomed Prince Heniry oi Prussia. The reception the Prince re­ ceived was hearty and open-handed. Nothing could have been more cordial than the President’s greeting to the German Prince, and it was returned in kind and in full measure. The dinner given to Prince Henry by President Roosevelt at the White House Monday night closed the honors bestowed on the iroyal visitor by offi­ cial Washington. The affair was on an elaborate scale and brought togeth­er a most distinguished company. It was an assemblage such as was rarely if ever before, gathered in the White House. To accommodate the large number of guests the dinner table was set In the East Room, the decorations of which were on the most magnificent scale. President Roosevelt sat at the head of the table, with Prince Henry on his right. On his left was Loird Pau^e- fote, the British ambassador. During the dinner the President proposed the health of the German Emperor ;"%! the German people, saying: “We are ad­miring their great past and present and we wish them all possible success in the future. May -the bonds of friend ship between the two peoples ever grow stronger.” The President also proposed thi health of, our guest. Prince Henry of Prussia, in these words: “In the name of the American people, I greet you, and extend to you our wannest wel­come and the assurance of our heart­ iest good will.”The name of Senator Martin, of Vir­ ginia, was originally on the list of those-given out . as guests at the din­ ner, but he declined the invitation. live items OP news .

Profoundly conYificed of tie prophet­ ic wisdom of the declaration of. the Fhthera1 made at Halifax in 1776, that “Religion morality ,and knowledge be­ing a necessary to good government, schools and the iheahs of education shall forever be encouraged;’’ and cog­nizant of the full meaning of that re­cent constitutional enactment which debars from the privilege of the suf­ frage, after 1908, all persons who cah- uot read and write; and relying on the patriotism and foresight of North Car­ olinians to deal with a great question which vataily concerns the material and social welfare of themselves and their posterity, we, in an educational conference assembled in the city of Raleigh this February 13, 1902, are moved to males the following declara­ tion of educational facts and princi­ples: 1. Today, mom fully than at any other Ume In bur past history, do North Carolinians recognize the over­ shadowing necessity of universal edu­ ction in the solution of those problems which a free government must solve in perpetuating its existence. 2. No free government has ever found any adequate means of universal education except in free public schools, open to all, supported by the taxes of all its citizens, where every child re­ gardless of condition in life or circum­ stance of fortune, may receive that op­ portunity for training into social ser­ vice which the constitutions of this and other great States and the age de­mand. 3. We realize jthat our State has reached the constitutional limit of tax­ ation for the rural schools, that she has made extra appropriations to leng­ then the term of these schools to 80 days in the year. We realize, too, that the four months’ term now provided is inadequate, for the reason that more than 20,000,000 children of school age in the XJnlted States outside of North Carolina are now provided an average of 115 days of school oilt of every 365; that the teachers of these children are paid an average salary of $48 per month, while the teachers of the chil­ dren of North Carolina are paid hardly $25 per month, thus securing for all the ehildern of our sister States more effi­ cient training for the duties of life. And we realize that, according to the latest census report and the report of the XT. S. Commissioner of Education, for every man, woman and child of its population, the country at Jarge it spending $2.33 for the education of its children, while North Carolina is spending barely 67 cents; thait the country at large is spending on an av­ erage of $20.29 for every pupil enrolled in its public schools, while North Car­ olina is spending only $3 or $4, the smallest amount expended by any State in the Union. And still further do we realize that the average amount spent for the education of every child of school age in the XJnLted States Is ap­ proximately $9.50, while North .Carolina is spending $1.78. These facts should arouse our pride and our patriotism, and lead us to in­ quire whether the future will not hold this generation responsible for the per­ petuation of conditions that have res- sulted in the multiplicity of small school districts, inferior school school houses, poorly paid teachers, and neces­ sarily poor teachers; that have resulted in twenty white illiterates out Ot every 100 white population over ten years of age; in generally poor and poorly paid superivisicn of the expenditure of our meagre school funds and of the teach­ ing done in our schools; and, iinally, in that educational indifference which is the chief cause of the small average daily attendance of about 50 pupils out of every 100 enrolled on our public schools.We believe the future will hold us responside for the perpetuation of these unfavorable conditions, and, therefore, we conceive it to be the patriotic, moral and religious duty of tbds generation of North Carolinians to set about in earnest to find the means by which all our children can receive that education, which will give them equal opportuni­ ties with the children of other sections of our common country.4'. Viewing our educational prob­ lems and conditions in the light of edu­ cational history and experience, we de­ clare it to be our firm conviction that the next step forward for North Caro­lina, in education, is to provide more money for her country public schools, making possible the consolidation of small school districts, the professional teacher, and skilled supervision of the expenditure of all school funds and of the teaching done in the schoqlB . The history of the adoption of the principle of local self heJp by our 35 graded school towns and cities must surely be am inspiration and an ex­ ample to every village and rural com­ munity in North Carolina. Those towns and cities have adopted the only means at hand for the adequate education of their children. In adopting this prin­ ciple, local taxation, they secured: first, adequate school funds; second, compe­ tent supervision; third, skilled teach­ ers. Hacking any one of this education­ al trinity no community has ever yet succeeded in establishing the means of complete education for its children..Those 35 towns and cities within our borders have followed the lead of other sections of the United States in adopt­ ing first the means of education, local taxation. The fact that 69 per cent of the total school fund of this Union is now raised by local taxes, while North Carolina raises only 14 per cent of her funds by that means, amd lags behind all her sister States in every phase of public education, has both its lesson and its warning. : '5. Kemembeir that in the last year nearly thirty communities in .North Carolina, some of them distinctly ru­ ral, have adopted the priciples of local literacy, (gal 2. taxation for schools, we think this time most auspicious to urge a general •j-ovmnent of all our educational forces in that direction, and, therefore, we ap­ peal to all patriotic North Carolinians, men amd women, who love their State, and especially that part of their State W hi C h is worth more than all its tim­ ber lands, mines, and manufacturing plants, to band themselves together under the IeaderaMp of our 'Educa­ tional Governor” amd the State Super­ intendent of Public Instruction, aided bv the Southern Edueatton Board, to carry forward the work of local taxa­ tion and better schools, to the end that every child within, our borders may have the opportunity to fit himself for the duties of citizenship aind social ser- vlAnd1 finally, heartily believing 'In the ChristUkeness of this work of bringing universal education to all the children of North Carolina, we confi­ dently tbly on the full cd-operatidn of all the churches At the Si bate, whose Wdrk is Sb near the heairtd Of all the pe&pie; and; thfe-efore appedj to the pulpit to inculcate tile supreme duty of universal .education; Charlra B: Aycock1 .

Detailed Doings of Our National Law­ makers. HOUSE. Fifty-second Day-The House passed the diplomatic and consular apropria- tion bill. It was the fifth of the reg­ ular annual supply measures to be sent to the Senate at this session. No amendments of importance were adopted. The feature of the day was the speech of Mr. Richardson, of Ata bama, in reply to Mr. Corliss’ speech a few days ago in favor of the con­ struction of a Pacific cable by the gov­ernment. The question of reforming the consular service was debated at some length, but no amendments upon that subject were offered.Mr. Richardson protested against Mr. Corliss’ course in delivering what he termed his “well-prepared and widely-disseminated speeches” before the subject had come before the House for consideration and said it looked like an effort to forestall the judgment of the House. He warned the mem­ bers of the House not to decide the question until the facts on both sides had been regularly and finally presen­ted. Representative Champ Clark, of Mis­souri, made a characteristic speech, urging that instead of criticising the present consular system, definite plans for bettering the system should be presented. For himself, he did not fa­vor the so-called merit system. When the Republicans carried the election he believed they had a right to the offices; when tlfe Democrats carried the elec­tion he believed they had a right to the offices. Mr, Clark caused much laughter by referring to the Democra­tic success in the election of Mr. Cleve­ land as “the greatest calamity that has befallen the human race since the fall of Adam.” Mr. Dinsmore made a strong speech against permanent consular service. The House then adjourned.Fifty-Third Day—The House sent the Philippine tariff bill to confer­ ence, non-concurring in the Senate amendments. The Democrats . sought to adopt the amendments by reducing the rates of duty and declaring the United States should relinquish all claim to the archipelago, but all prop ositions were defeated. SENATE. Fifty-second Day—Quite unexpected­ly the Senate adjourned within 15 min­ utes after it convened. An hour before the body convened Lhe galleries began to fill with spectators, all expecting a sequel to the great debate of yesterday, on the right of the Senators from South Carolina to cast their votes while under the ban of contempt of tho Senate. Several Democratic Senators had books upon their desks and it was evi­ dent that they were preparing to con­ tinue the contest of Monday. This was made the more evident immediately af­ ter the Senate convened. When the clerk began the reading of the journal of Monday’s proceedings, the usual re­ quest that the reading be suspended was made by Mr. Stewart, Republican, of Nevada. , “I object,” interjected Mr. Turner, Democrat ,of Washington, and Mr. Du­bois, of Idaho, in unison, and the read­ ing was continued. At its conclusion the announcement was made to the Senate of the death of Mr. Crumpack- er, of Michigan. Resolutions were pre­ sented of sorrow of the Senate at the announcement. These were adopted, and theft the Senate, as an additional mark of respect, adjourned.The Democratic Senators were evi­ dently surprised but offered no objec­ tions.Fifty-Third Day—Again the gal­ leries of the Senate were filled with spectators. AU were anticipating a re­ opening of the discussion of the con­ troversy respecting the right of Sen­ators McLaurin and Tillman, of South Carolina, to participate in the pro­ ceedings of the body while under the ban of contempt. Immediately after the chaplain had pronounced the in­ vocation Mr. Foraker, of Ohio, was .recognized, He said that on account of the McKinley memorial exercises, which were to be held in the hall of the House of Representatives at or about 12 o’clock Thursday, he moved that when the Senate adjpurn it be until 11:45 a. m. Thff motion was agreed to. The census shows that the numbe? of Indians In Massachusetts increased from 428 -in.1892 to 587 in 1900.' LET THE TARIFF ALONE SO SAYS THE AMERICAN PROTEC. TlVE TARIFF LEAGUE. BeTiaion Would Be a Deplorable Blander* W bile General Becfprocity is Depre­ cated as a Iieap Blindfolded That W ill Band Us on Bree Trade Gronnd. The attitude of the American Prp tective Tariff League on the subjects of tariff revision and reciprocity is plainly defined in the preamble and resolutions &s rOported by a special committee appointed by President Hoore at the regular annual meeting of the League on Thursday, January 10, 1902. The committee consisted of Messrs. F. S. Witherbee, John A-. Sleicher, George J. Seabury and T. Z. Cowles, and the resolutions are as fol­ lows: “Whereas, At a time when the entire civilized world is fixing its attention upon the extraordinary condition of prosperity prevailing in the United States as a direct result of the eco­ nomic policy for which this organiza­ tion stands, and when our foreign and domestic commerce and trade have in­ creased to a degree far beyond prp vious human experience in this or any other country. Be it “Resolved, That the American Pro­ tective Tariff League earnestly protests against the insidious attacks upon the principle and policy of protection to American labor and industry that have made themselves manifest in a marked and unusual degree within the past year. If there ever was a time when the principle and policy of protection had justly earned public confidence and approval, and had demonstrated its value as an agency for the highest material welfare of the country, that time is now. As the recognized'repre­ sentatives of that principle and policy we protest against the covert assaults upon protection that are being made In the name of tariff revision and reci­ procity, and urge that the friends of protection throughout the country should more than ever show the faith that is in them by vigorous and un­ ceasing resistance to all efforts to un­ settle or in any way discredit the pol­ icy for which we have stood and shall continue to stand. “To seriously agitate the question of tariff revision at this time is ill ad­ vised and mischievous, while to delib­ erately enter upon the readjustment of the schedules of the Dingley law would be a legislative blunder Certain to be productive of deplorable conse-. quences to all industries and all trade. “ ‘Reciprocity id the handmaiden of protection’ only when devised and ex­ ecuted in absolute harmony with the principles and equities of protection; when conceived In accordance with the Republican National platform of 1900—viz., ‘in articles which we do not ourselves produce;’ when carried out- on the line laid down by the late Pres, ident McKinley in his speech at Buf­ falo, September 5, 1901, ‘by sensible trade arrangements which will not in­ terrupt our home production,’ and whereby ‘we should take from our cus­ tomers such of their products as we can use without barm to our industries and labor.’ Reciprocity in any other form or on any other basis would be a dangerous experiment, a breach of faith on the part of the Government toward these who rely upon the meas­ ure of protection guaranteed by tho Dingley law, a long step in the direc­ tion of unrestricted competition by foreign producers, a leap in the dark which will land us squarely on free trade ground.” On the subjects of the restoration of the American merchant marine, the creation of a department of commerce and the construction of an isthmian canal tho resolutions are as follows: “Resolved, That present and -future commercial interests imperatively de­ mand, in justice to our immense vol­ ume of export and import trade, and as a means of further stimulating and increasing that trade, the creation of an American built merchant marine, not alone for the transport annuaUy of over $1,590,000,000 of our varied products, but to prevent the annual export in gold of $200,000,000 in trans-. portation charges, and to restore to our country the maritime independence and supremacy which it enjoyed prior to 1S61: furthermore (see history of the war with Spain), to provide an ad­ equate system of transports in time of war. “Resolved, That the .erection of a de­ partment of commerce as an adjunct to the executive branch of the Federal Government is imperatively demanded iu behalf cf trade, commerce and in­dustry. “Resolved. That the early construc­ tion of an isthmian canal, supplement­ ed by cable communication with our Pacific possessions and with the coun­ tries of the Far East, is indispensable to our commercial supremacy.” H e H as Succeeded. On the curious plea that if the Re­ publicans don’t do it the Democrats will, Mr. Roberts, of Massachusetts, advocates the opening up of the ques­ tion of tariff revision at the present session of Congress. Why stop at tariff revision? Why not urge the re­ peal of the Dingley law as a whole, on the plea that the Democrats would do it if they had the power? To do things that the enemy wants done, lest the enemy himself undertake to do and thereby gain all the advantage, is a queer doctrine in practical politics and practical statesmanship. Political ad­ vantages have not usually been gained that way or retained that way by the party in power. Mr. Roberts evidently is a new convert to the school of tariff ripping theorists who would be more dangerous if they were more numer­ ous. As the matter stands they are just numerous enough to attract some attention when they make foolish breaks. Mr. Roberts has succeeded in attracting some attention. In Chicago it has been judiciously decided that $25 is all the cash a man -needs to get married. Of course, that means that there is a fixed price for the license and ‘that the marriage fee shall not go above a specified IimiL What difference, however, does it make how much money the groom has if only the bride’s family is in condi- tion'to do-the proper thing. Babcock Throws Up the Sponge* Jfr. Babcock, of Wisconsin, has not yet introduced his mnch-talked-of bill to put on the free list all articles pro­ duced by trusts. In fact, he has aban­ doned that purpose, though he publicly announced his intention to do so in an interview and in a written statement' some months ago. He is still talking about introducing a bill to put iron and steel products on the free list, but as he has no support worth mentioning it is doubtful if he even introduces a bill of that character. Tariff revision of any kind meets with great disfavor in botb houses of Congress on the Republican side and also at the White House. Once in a while a member talks in favor of it, but the more he talks, as a rule, the clearer he makes it that any such a measure would be absurd in view of the highly prosperous condition of the country. Representative E. W. Roberts, of Massachusetts, is out In an interview in favor of tariff revision, in the course of which he says that if the Republic­ ans do not revise the tariff he fears the Democrats will make it an issue in the next campaign. But the Republi­ cans generally express a great deal of satisfaction over any such threat on the Democratic side. There are a few Republicans who profess to fear a con­ test on the tariff issue, despite the great prosperity of the nation under the Dingley act, but apparently ninety- nine out of every hundred Republicans would be only too glad to make a cam­ paign on that issue. Mr. Roberts mournfully admits that “s5e Republicans seem disinclined to make any concessions whatever,”,and he adds: “I look for no Congressional action along these lines at this ses­ sion.” — Washington Correspondence Philadelphia Press. , W here D anger Lies. There is no danger to America In the retaliatory amendment to the German tariff, modeled after our own tariff law. This provision is aimed only at discriminations, and the United States tariff does not discriminate.- It differs from almost all other tariffs in the world in having a uniform rate for goods from all foreign countries, save, indeed, those with which reciprocity agreements exist Moreover, consider­ ing the high wages which it protects, our American tariff is very much less rigorous than that of most continental nations.—Boston Journal. Danger begins when we leave the safe anchorage of tariff laws under which all the world is treated exactly alike, and embark upon the uncharted sea of reciprocity treaties which favor one nation at the expense of another, and so provike LU will and retaliation. Som ebody W ill G et Skinned* 'Academically reciprocity is a fine thing. It has two “r’s” in it that can be rolled beneath the tongue with fine effect. But in practice it is a good deal like a horse trade. Usually some­ body gets skinned in a horse trade. In his reciprocity propositions it is ob­ served that the tariff tinker offers tlie American people as the victim.—Mt. Clemens (Mich.) Monitor. BngIandtS Bears. England has been a free trade na­ tion and the United States a protective tariff nation. And now England fears that America, which baa preserved for herself her own markets, is about to control the markets of the world.—Os­ wego Times. W ill Not Succeed.

Jour* raL SUNDAY IN OLD VIRGIMA. She Day Was Observed as Strictly as In [Now England. There is an idea prevalent that the strict observance of the Sabbath was almost wholly confined to the North. Nothing could be more erroneous. "The Blue Laws” of Connecticut) sur­ viving as a proyerb for hardness,’ have impressed the popular mind and* fixed an idea which was, however, not ab­ solutely accurate. As severe as those enactments were, they were scarcely more rigorous, whenever the observ­ ance of Sunday was concerned, than those under which the colony of Vir­ ginia was established and developed. Attendance on divine service was as strictly enforced, and abstinence from all secular employment as rigidly en­ joined. It was a church-going time. Religion engrossed me energies of the people. Participation in worship was the law and whoever failed in it was a lawbreaker and was dealt with ac­ cordingly. Later on—that is, prior to the Revolution—there came a certain laxness—the reflex of the taut-strung bow—when the fox-hunting, cock- fighting- parson was inducted into the livings; but, as the causes were tem­ porary, the main cause being the po­ litical appointment by an absentee Metropolitan, so the effect was not permanent. It was out of these conditions that Hanover presbytery sprang, under the influence of Patrick Henry’s model, the eloquent “Parson Davies,” later the president of Princeton college. Indeed, while some of the English parsons who have made the time notorious, were dicing, and drinking, and fighting, the laity were standing staunchly for the old customs, and were making the saddling upon them of such miscreants one of the charges in their indictment against the government “at home.” They withstood innovation. They kept the faith. They build churches which still stand to-day as memorials of their piety and churchmanship.—From “An Old Virginia Sunday/’ by Thomas Nel­ son Page in Scribner’s. That shoplifting, like every other in­ dustry, is being reduced to a science is shown by tne arrest of a young wo- fessor of the art In whose pocket was found a drawing* of the layout of a New Tork City department store. This was getting system .down to a fine point. Unfortunately for the young inanhis system slipped a .cog, as more elaborate schemes are sometimes apt to do. • ' Deafness 'Cannot Be Cured ' - by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of th e ear.

We have offered to print a report of the receipts and disbursements of the school funds free of charge, but those who could give it to us, are not inclined to make it public.

JUSTICE’S LETTER. “Justice.” a scribler who fills up half the Winston Bepublican al - most every week with Bepiublican campaign artiticles, aivo&ites tii e Gibson sugar-coated Force bill. Of conrse—Ifews and Observer. Mr. Editor:—I want to have you insert the above clipping from the News and Observer for three rea­ sons. First. I wish to say that the charge that the News an.l Obser­ ver cannot tell the truth under any circumstances is not true for here is proof to the contrary, he says, “J ustice advocates tlie Gibson bill” aud that is the truth. Bro. Dan­ iels accept my congratulations on this once and allow me to express the hope that it will not be the on Iy time. My second reason for insertfng this is that it shows that there may be some hope for Josephus whose surname is Daniels, not­ withstanding the many deplorable evidences to the contrary, for this notice shows that he reads T h e B ep itb u cast and no man can do this and not be cautioned as to his sins and pointed to a better way. Just keep reading T h e K epubli- CAn Bro. Josephus it will do you goad. My third reason is to say yes I do favor this bill and to say wliy. I favor it because it insures a fair election. Is that wrong? I favor it because it punishes crime. Is that wrong I Ifavoritbecauseitiuaures the political rights of the people. Is that wrong! I favor it because it Will put down law-breakers and invite capi tal to our State. Is that wrong J I favor it becadse it will lemove the incantive to perjury and tPeft at the ballot- box. Is that wrong! I favor it because it punishes both the perjurer who swears to a lie to get to vote illegally exactly like it punishes the perjurer who takes an oath as an officer to pre­ vent the legal voter from voting. Is that wroug I I favor it becaaje under it no man in Forsyth could get a cer­ tificate of election who received only 2900 votes out of a tolal vote of 8475 showing 5,575 voters opposed to him. Is that wrong! I favor it because under it no such performance would be possi­ ble as we had in Halifax. Is that wrong I I favor it because under it the State law could not be nulified as was done in the election of 1900, as for instance the State law says each party' shall have a challen­ ger at each box. The Bepublicans were deuied a challenger at either box in Winstou. The State law says each party shall have a judge at each precinct. The Bepubli- cans were not allowed to have any at either box in Winston. The State law' says the ballots shall be counted iu the presence ot any who desire to see them counted. No Bepublicau was allowed to se< the ballot counted in Winstou. I favor it because it would prevent such as this. Is that wrong ! I favor it because no returning board could throw out whole town ships without auy charge of fraud and put in men who were not elect­ ed, as was done iu Wilkes. Is that wroug! I favor it.because all the ballots would have to be counted and not a part so as to show a Democratic majority as was done iu Williams township in Chatham, when there was actually a large Bepnblican majority iu the box. Is this wrong! I favor it because there could tie uo three card monte business in shifting boxes to confuse voters was done all over the State. Is that wrong I I favor it because it would -pre vent a Legislature elected by fraud repeating laws to punish crime aud thus put a.premium on ballot box stealing. Is this wrong! I favor it because it will prevent an. officer holding a man while others beat him up as was done here. Is this wrong! I favor it because with its pro­ tection John Mickey could have gone to the polls and given testi­ mony as he was requested to do ,without being beaten half to death and driven from the voting place, under the threat of being killed Ls this wrong ! .I favor it because under it the polls could not be surrounded by men.with locked arms and no man beailowed-to vote except by the will of this mob. Is that wrong! I favor it because'it will prevent the shooting ot men at the polls in the future in the struggle for hu­ man rights. Is that wrong ! I favor it because it insures the reign of law instead of anarchy we had here in 1900. Is that wrong! I favor it because it prevents the oppression of the poor and defense less. Isthatw rongf I lavor it because it prevents in­ timidation and bribery, Is Wrong! In short I favor it because it ini sures to each State a Republican form of government, as the consti­ tution of the IJnited States says the government- shall do, pro­ motes the reign of law, removes crime, increases morality, insures justice and brings us peace, J u stice .

Mr. Editob :—Iu a recent edi­ torial, you have, unintentionally doubtless, done what appears to me an injustice. I trust, on reflec­ tion, you will have the courage to make the amende honorable. .You state“ that the County Supt of Davie How Long? How long before the B unl ’ Free Delivery will commence in Pavie ! —Times. We wish we could answer the above question, but Davie County is virtually in Mr, Kluttz’s dis­ trict, aud the department through Couuty is trying to Bhoulder off courtesy to the congressman from TUBNED Otrr TBUE. Coffee Drinking responsible, “A t a dinner party several years ago a physician made this state­ ment, ‘Coffee drinking is respon­ sible for more ills than any other one thing, but it is impossible for me to make my patients believe it’- Neither would I believe him, but continued to drink my coffee with sweet content. After a time I be­ came aware of the fact that I was frequently lying awake nearly all night without auy apparent, rea­ son, and the morning found me tired out and nervous. The insomnia increased, then came a dull pain at the base of the brain and severe pressure at my heart. My outside work was giv eu up for I could hardly bear the little fatigue of the day. ‘Ner­ vous prostration brought on by over work,’ the Doctor said thought of the words of old Dr. Bagley, ‘Coffee w the poison that is responsible,' etc., etc. Ih ad heard of Postum Food Coffeeaud determined to try it. The first cup was so weak and flat that it was not fit to drink. The next time it was prepared I look­ ed after it myself to see that the directions were followed propetly The remit was a revelation; I found it- a delicious beverage, Thecurewasnot wrought iu a day but little by little my nerves became' strong, the palu ceased, and again I could sleep likea tired child. Iam now completely restored to health by Postum Food Coffee used iu the place of ordinary coffee, have regained the fresh complex­ ion of girlhood, and l ean realize the truth of the old Doctor’s state­ ment. I wish people could under­ stand that truth before they pei- mit coffee to break them down. I have known of several others who have been restored to health by leaving off coffee and taking up Postum Food .Coffee. Please do not publish my name, but I am willing to answer letters of inquiry if stamp is enclosed.” Name giv en by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. something onto the County Com­ missioners.” Now, Mr. Editor, truth compells me to say that, with one exception, two of the County Commissioners have been kinder- and more helpful to m e,. in my work, than any other two meu iu the County. Ido not want to be put wrongfully in au uagr&e fui attitude towards theee men. My work is hard, No one can tell how I appreciate friendly help or a kindly suggestion. I did write to General Toon. For several weeks last Spring, I was much in his society- saw him al­ most every day aud often of nights. Took Ioug strolls with him and learned to like hint very much. I felt that I could approach him in confidence. So iu confidence, I wrote him that “oars was mostly au agricultural peaple—no large towns, with exteusive revenue from saloons, little rail road prop­ erty or other corporate wealth from which to realize reveuue, that, therefore, our school funds were necessarially small.” In addition to this state of affitirs, I said that “the rains of the past Summer were excessive, that the rivers bordering two sides of the County, and the large intervening streams had repeatedly overflowed their banks and had wrought almost a total, destruction of the crops, that theup lands, iu many places, were great­ ly damaged.’, “That under these circumstances, the County board of Education believed it to Ite un­ wise to request the County Com­ missioners to levyadditional taxa­ tion.” That theCounty officials generally concurred iu (his opin­ ion.” “Now, General, I have giveu you the facts. I know that, uu>ler the ruiiug (not having push­ ed the collcction of taxes to the Constitutional limit we lacked ouly 10 cents on the Poll aud 3 cents on the hundred Dollars’ worth of property.) We are not entitled to auy part of the Second hundred thousand dollars” Still, General, if, iu the round up of matters, there be a few crumbs left ot that Second hundred thousaud dollars, for ‘gracious sake,’.'Bend us one of those crumbs. We need it. VVewantit-. Without it, our schools willnot average more than three months,” Now, Mr. Editor, this _ is substantially what I said in my | letter to- the lamented General Toon—the very language so far as I can now recall it. FromwhatIremember of you, when we wer e near neighbors, I be­ lieve, sir, that you will correct this injustice to your old friend, J. D. HODGES. this district listens to his recom­ mendations along this line. While Mr. Kluttz is a Democrat, and is uo doubt looking after his politi cal interests in his own immediate present district, Daviehaving been taken out of hie district by the last legislature; onr County is to a certain extent without represen­ tation . We are of the opinion that Mr. Kluttz is more anxious about the district as now constituted, but we are not without hope. Mr. Kluttz is a clever gentleman, and no doubt when lie gets his own fixed up, he will help ub a wee bit. * The Kurfees Paints I!

Fatal Accident on Southern Pacific Railway, FIFTEEN KILLED AND MANY HURT Many People Slaughtered Outright— Train Was Running at a High Rate of Speed, Sau Antonio, Tox., Special.—A brok­ en rail caused a frightful wreck on the Southern Pacific Railroad, near Max- ton station, 25 miles west of Sanderson at 3 o'clock Friday morning. From the latest accounts received here 15 people were killed outright and 28 more or less injured.

The ill-fated train left San Antonio at noon Thursday. 21-2 hours late, and at the time of the accident was run­ ning at a high rate of speed in order to make up time. The road at the point where the wreck occurred is in a rough country, the curves being sharp and the grades heavy- It was when rounding a curve that the train left the track, it is said, on account of a broken rail. The hour was 3 a. m., fif­ teen hours after the train had left An­tonio, showing that it was still behind time. AU the passengers were asleep and the shock that followed was the first intimation they had of the danger. The train was going at such a rate of jipced that the tender and engine land­ ed 75 feet from where -they left the rails. The cars behind piled up against the engine causing a fire and all were consumed except the sleepers. GOOD ROADS PEOPLE NEEiJ FUNDS.THE CUBAN TROUBLE President Anxious For Settlement of reciprocity Malter THE CABINET SAID TO BE DIVIDED Alany Leaders In the Councils of the Nation Call on Mr. Roosevelt Con- cerning the flatter.

'■ Commissioners: Gentlemen: ThecampalsntorGood Roads In North Carolina has reached the stage where we must either go forward or backward. The recent con­ vention of Good Roads advocates at Ralsigh brought together representa­ tive men from every part of the State, who with one accord agree that Good Reads in North Carolina are. a vital necessity. The great difficulty con­ fronting us is to discover the means whereby they may be secured. The object of the North Carolina Good Roads Asociation is to promote the interests of better public roads in ev­ ery county in North Carolina , and in ^--------- this work we ask the co-operation of ; those opposed to Repi^sen a i -every public spirited citizen in the:Payne’s 20 per cent ieciprocity p.a ,State.

Washington, Special.—At the cabi­ net meeting, President Roosevelt re­ quested the members not to talk to newspaper correspondents about mat­ ters under discussion at the semi-week­ ly meetings.

New York, Special.—Announcement was made that there had been organ­ ized in this city an association to pro­ mote Southern Cducationi to be known as the General Education Board, and that morp than $1,000,000 had been placed.at the disposal of the board of trustees. The underlying principle of the association is to be the recogni­tion of the fact that the people of the Southern States are earnestly en­ gaged in the promotion of public edu­cation and that in this effort they should receive generous aid; and to this, end; and in pursuance of this and kindred objects, the association"will seek gifts, large and small, from those In sympathy with its plans. there some small items which must be paid for in the wav of stationery, postage, nrlnting, etc.. and in the maintaining of an office for headquarters we will be compelled to make occasional small cash expenditures.As yet our plans are not fully ma­ tured/ and in this preliminary state we hope to have the co-operation of every county In the State that wants to improve its public roads and join, the procession of industrial, agricul­tural and commercial activity now marching through this entire section. Th? Executive Committee believe that the various counties are going to be its most substantial supporters, and to the counties we appeal through you, the Commissioners, in this mat­ ter. The movement of course is purely one of public interest and there is no provision from any source for the financial life of our. associa­ tion. It is hoped, therefore,* that your Board of Commissioners will agree at your next meeting to appropriate the sum of ten dollars ($10) toward a general fund for the Good Roads As­sociation for the purpose of defraying the small incidental expenses in or­ der that we may proceed with the work In a methodical and effective manner. The time to advance is now, while the movement is before the people, and with concerted effort we cannot fail to accomplish a wonder-' ful work for the .upbuilding of ;the State. At the forthcoming session of (die legislature, through the efforts of this association, we shall hope to be In shape to present a practical and de­sirable Road Law which will benefit every township in every county in North Carolina in the matter of pub­ lic roads.I hope your board will favorably consider this matter at its next meet­ing; and delay means an abatement of interest which will detract from the success of the undertaking. The money may be sent to our treasurer, Mr. Joseph G. Brown, the president of the Citizens National Bank, at Ral­ eigh, N. C., who will be the custodian of all the funds Cf the association, and who will give you the associa­ tion’s receipt for your remittance.Herewith I am sending you a stamped envelope addressed to Pro­ fessor J. A. Holmes, Chapel Hill, N. C., who is the secretary of the associa­tion, and with whom all correspond­ ence relating to these matters should be conducted.Yours very truly,P. H. HANES, President.

Panic in Tobacco Factory* New Orleans, Special.—A panic oc­ curred among the 500 girls in the Hordsheimer Tobacco Factory, result­ ing from an alram of fire several squares away. A strike occurred some time ago in the factory and there had been a rumor for some weeks that an attempt might be made to blow up the building. -When the cry of fire sound­ ed the girls frantically rushed to leave the building and many were trampled and bruised. Bertha Cantressj 17 years old, is thought to be fatally hurt, . were hopeful of seeing a solution of the problem which would not endanger any American industry. This was con­ strued in some quarters to show a di­ vision in the cabinet, but it was stated by those conversant with the situation that the attitude of the cabinet mem­ bers did not warrant any such con­ struction. Later in the day, Representative Tawney ealled at the White House and (rad a conference lasting nearly an hour and a half with tko President. It developed that Mr. Tawney had told the President that there was little or no possibility for the adoption of the Payne plan by the Republican confer­ ence and that if it was adopted some 40 Republican members would not consid­ er themselves bound and would carry the question to the floor of the House, where there would be additional com­ plications owing to the attitude of the Democratic members.The President is understood to have made it clear that he had ho intention at present of sending a special message to Congress on the subject. The Presi­dent expressed the most earnest solici­ tude that a satisfactory adjustment be reached by Congress. After hearing from Mr. Tawney, his associates ex­ pressed the belief that the President would accept the rebate proposition if Congress would present it to him. They were considerably encouraged to hear from .Mr. Tawney that the President was not laying down any emphatic ul­ timatum in favor of the plan as pre­ sented by Mr. Payne. While these conferences were going on at the White House, Chairman Payne and members of the ways and means committee supporting him were in conference. This brought about no change In their attitude. One of the members stated that he was confident that the Payne reciprocit3r proposition commanded a majority of the Republi­ can members, but that tlie minority was so large and was so disposed to carry the contest into the House that Mr. Payne and his friends recognized the. seriousness of the situation. How­ ever, there was no disposition to ac­cept the rebate plan, as it was stated that this was merely a repetition of the plan .proposed by the head of the beet sugar organization two months ago. Five Men Drowned. Sacramento, Cal., Special.—Five men were drowned in the Sacramento rivei on Sunday. The party, consisting ol Dr. J. H.

MARTIAL LAW EXISTS IN TDE CITY Thousands of Strike Sym pathizers Thronged the Streets and Police an d Military Were Helpless. Norfolk, SpeciaL-A mob of 5,000 strike sympathizers thronged the streets of Norfolk Tuesday on .which the main line of the Norfolk Railway and Light Company runs, and tne police were unable to cope with it. From noon until after dark, when the ears, which were crowded by detach­ ments of militia, had run with difficul­ ty all day, were housed in the barns, the mob had things its own way In till city.. In. the county where the barns are, the military was in control of the situation. Cars were repeatedly derail­ ed, wagon loads of rocks were piled on the tracks and free fights between the military and the crowd occurred during the day at frequent intervals. In one of these, a sergeant ran a'bayonet through the arm of a man named Hadnetsof, a laborer. The man’s wife was standing by her husband at the time. She knocked the sergeant to the ground with both fists and discolored the face of Lieutenant E. R. Gale, who was near her, with a well directed blow. Several soldiers were hit by bricks and other missiles thrown through .the win­ dows of the cars. A number of arrests have been made, both by the police and military. A conference was held by Mayor Bea­man, Police Chief Veltines, Colonel Higgs, commanding the Seventy-first Regiment, eight companies of which are in service relative to placing the city under martial law.

IN CONGRESS. Detailed Doings of Our National Law­ makers. HOUSE. Sixty-fifth Day—The House began the consideration of the bill to classify the rural free delivery service and place the carriers, under the contract system. Only two speeches were deliv­ ered. Mr. Loud, of California, chair­ man of the committee on postoffices and post roads, made the opening argu­ ment in fa-vcr of the bill, speaking for two and a half hours. Mr. Swanson, of Virginia, led the opposition. The • de­ bate was interrupted before the close of the-session by the presentation ^of the conference report upon the Philip­ pine tariff bill. Mr. Payne, the' major­ity leader, declined to allow the minor­ity more than 30 minutes in which to discuss the report and this offer was rejected by Mr. Richardson, the minor­ ity leader. A filibuster followed and the House adjourned after -the previous question upon the adoption of the re­ port had been ordered. Mr. Loud, of California, began the debate on the rural free delivery bill. He declared that upon the solution of this question would depend whether the rural free delivery service would cost ultimately $60,000,000 pr $20,000 - 000 per annum. The rural free delivery service up to this time, he said, had been a political one and it had given many members of Congress their first taste of the sweets of public patronage. He traced the history and rapid growth of the service and its cost, declaring that it was the most extravagant in the public service. At the inception the the carriers received $300 per annum. They now receive $600. If the salary system was continued they would even­tually receive $800 or $900. At the present time $850,000 was being spent for the supervisory force. Mr. •’ Loud charged that a promise had gone forth that if the present system was contin­ued the members of Congress would control the appointment of the carriers in the future as they had in the past. Sixty-Sixth Day—The House con­ tinued the debate on the bill to classify the rural free. delivery ser­vice, but without action adjourned early, out of respect to the memory of Representative Polk, of Pennsyl­vania, whose death occurred sudden­ly at Philadelphia, last night. A com mittee of fifteen, including Mr. Griggs, of Georgia, was appointed to attend the funeral of the deceased member. The conference report on the pension appropriation bill was adopted. :-V SENATE.Sixty-fifth Day—The Senate began the consideration of what is popularly known as the shipping bill. Mr. Frye, chairman of the committee on com­ merce, made the opening statement in support of the bill. He occupied the floor for nearly two hours, reviewing the measure reported by the commit­tee and dealing with questions which have arisen in connection with its con­ sideration. Mr. Frye’s address was largely technical, hut his argument was listened to with close attention»by Sen­ ators on both sides,of. the chamber. It seemed to him, Mr. Frye stated, that the policy of protection had been vast­ ly beneficial to the American people. The United States, he asserted hail no peer industrially. One industry had been without protection—and without protection for 50 years—and what was the logical result? The shipping inter­ ests of the country had been.neglected in the giving of protection. This coun­ try had permitted its inferiors to seize upon the pathways of ocean commerce almost without a struggle. •“It seems to me,” said Mr. Frye, “that that picture ought to humiliate and mortify beyond . expression any patriotic citizen of the United States who glories In the power and prosper­ity of^ his country. It is not alone hu­ miliating—it is absolutely dangerous.’’ Mr. Frye asked"who was going to carry the $487,000,000 of exports In the event of a war between German and Great Britain. "Why," said he, “the farmers and the manufacturers and the wage-eamers of the United States would pay a penalty equal to that paid by either of the contending parties." Mr. Frye then sought to show that this condition of things was caused by American wages, which increased the C03t of our ships for the foreign trade at least 25 per cent. Mt. Frye declared that of all steam­ ships in the world of 14 knots and up­ward, 80 per cent, are subsidized by the countries whose flags they carry. Of 16 lcnots and upward, he said, all but six in the world are heavily subsidized by the countries who3e flags they float "Are we to submit to this humiliating wretched condition of things?” said Mr’ Frye. The nations paying these subsidies he declared, did so for the purpose of extending their trade and for nothing else. Trade cannot precede the mail ” trade*"6 "Tie mUSt PreCCtle the Day—senAtor Lodge in­troduced into the Senate an amend­ ment to the Philippine bill which is ?n°7 pendinS before the committee on the lump pmes. it provides that whenever it is certified to the Presb Phoi ?at tte Insurrection In the PhiUppines shall have ceased and £h=iCiehesta?,Ushed’ a Bcncrai election *e t°r the choice of dele- gates to a popular assembly to be The Wiai He phluPPine Assembly. fhl pwn ? pow'er conferred in Bari nf lhe T oommisSien in all that by thJ^ M o rn , 'hip elaS0 not inhabited W bS slfaIi fhe0r other non-Christian wioes, shall then cease and be vested W e s1^SheatlPhiH^consisting of two and tL Ph ii . mPPlne Commission ana the Philippine Assembly. le n g th o t U f a .

They Sco In th e P roposed K ecIprocIty Ar* rangem ent W ith C uba a N eedless Con­ cession a n d a G rave M enace to O or D om estic A g ricu ltu ral In terests. The situation in the United States in regard to the practice of protection as a means of national development is re­ markable. Wc have just emerged from a period 'of hard times in a way which has justified the sf.Hngest convictions of the protectionists. Many a man has in past times hesitated over the protec­ tion accorded to iron and steel. If such duties were needed for those pro­ ducts at any time, when could we hope to successfully produce iron and sted In competition with the world at large? Yet iron and steel, strongly protected here, have sallied forth and opened for us the markets of the world. The very things on which we had the greatest doubts are the things which have placed our principles beyond dispute by practical illustration known and read of all men. Kevertheless, this is the very mo­ ment when protection is running its greatest risk. It is a curious fact, in the nature of mankind, that there is no time when there is such great danger as the time of victory. After tension of muscles comes the natural reaction, and men, after victory, lilce to concede something to their enemies. This is all well enough when it relates to the courtesies of individual intercourse, but it has no application to business. Protection rests upon principle, or it docs not. If it does not, then it is a mere bestowal of bounty, and is no part of the business of government. If it rests upon principle, then that prin­ ciple must be that the American mar­ kets belong to the Americans. You Aannot maintain your system and sac* tffico anything to which it is applicable. Recent events ought to show Con­ gress that the people are coming to understand these things. After such a victory as our system has had, it can easily be understood that all attacks on the system, if made at all, must be insidious and disguised. They cannot be open, for they would be resisted at sight. Hence there should be full dis­ cussion of these new attempts, which are now being made in our period of victory to turn the victory into defeat. The first attack came in the disguise I «f reciprocity. That sounded well. AU * tilings sound well which are merely on j paper. Mr. Cleveland could talk most I convincingly of the tariff which should I protect all manufacturers and yet be j so nicely poised that it would suit all ! importers hero and all manufacturers j abroad. So long as the Senate was [ against him and he could do nothing I there was no false note in the song. ; But when he got a Senate of his own party, and they all went to work on a real tariff he found the product so bad that he could only cover his face as it passed by. So with reciprocity treaties. Framed In the mind they exchange only com­ modities that one of the countries pro­ duces and the other docs not. This seems plain. But no real reciprocity bill or treaty ever could do any such thing, or ever really tried to. Recognizing this fact when they were face to face with it the manufacturers and producers of this country quite re­ cently, in their meeting in Washing­ ton, earned the thanks of their country by their courageous action. This they did, though many of their friends stayed away as another method of pro** test. Another insidious attack upon pro­ tection as a system has recently been made in the bill repealing more or less of the tariff for the benefit of Cuba. It does not in'any way appeal to our judgments. It is not addressed to our intellects. It is only addressed to our sympathies. We are told that Cuba has been maltreated by being set free. Can that be so? Kot at all. Some en­ terprising Americans have gone there, purchased land and built a railroad. Are we going to reward expatriation? We have a right to wish them success, and we give them our good will. Why should they be benefited at the ex­ pense of those who stay at home and develop our own country? Why should a desire to be kind to the absent lead us to withdraw protection for our own tobacco growers and our own beet sugar raisers? Why should we, for the sake of good men, even, who have gom abroad to seek fortune, allow such an attack upon our system of protection as will be a good beginning for a final destruction? If you need any proof as to the char­ acter of the attack, look at those who arc flocking to the aid of the Cuban bounty or rebate, whatever it may be. Every journal that Iiab ever advocated free trade is alter us, in a fashion which may be called brutal; all of them are attacking those who sustain protection, as if it were a crime to up­ hold laws which have made this coun­ try prosperous beyond our utmost' hopes. If ever our system should be over­ turned it will be by such attempts as this, and not by a battle along the whole line. Therefore it behooves us, as citizens who desire to continue the prosperity of our country, to take ac­ tive measures to see that the true meaning of this proposed action should be fully understood. If we propose to abandon any indus­ tries we had better not let it be the agricultural industries. Between the Atlantic and Pacific stretch vast re­ gions still unfilled. The next victory of protection should be there. Our system of protection is not for manufacturers alone. It is for farm­ ers also. Whoever deprives our farm­ ers of all the American market they can occupy is false to his principles, and must meet with defeat, or the sys­ tem must be surrendered which pro­ claims that American markets are first of all for American' citizens, who are engaged in developing the country we already have. pm A pickle famine before summer is predicted and those silly creatures who ravenously devour preserved cu­ cumbers for the alleged improvement of their complexions are. in a state of mind. The man who boasts of being a cynic is not very, dangerous. ; • LIVE ITEMS OF NEWS. Many Matters of Qeneral Interest In Sbort Paragraphs. At The National Capital.

A GIANT FUCHSIA. REaguUlcezit Specim en of This K lant In Portland, Oregon. The largest and most magnificent fuchsia plant in this city, and prob­ ably in the state,%is to be seen in the garden of Robert Foulkes, says the Portland Oregonian. It springs from a single stem some three inches in diam­ eter, but divides into three at the sur­ face of the ground. The top is seven I feet in height and is twen * six feet in circumference, and is loaded with hundreds of beautiful flowers in every stage of development, while the ground beneath is carpeted with fallen blos­ soms. The plant would have been much higher and broader but for the fact that it has to be put in the cellar every winter and the limbs have to be trimmed off. Vhe height has to be re­ duced so that it can stand under the floor above. A rather remarkable t-bfwg is that when the plant is dug up at the beginning of winter, it is in full foliage and still loaded with blossoms. Up­ rooting almost any plant in this con­ dition would prove fatal, but the fuch­ sia takes it all as a matter of course, and soon after it is houses the leaves and flowers fade and drop off and the plant goes, to sleep. As soon as it feels the breath of spring it begins to put forth tender shoots in profusion, as a hint that it wants to get out of doors. When it is planted out, it starts in growing and "blowing” as if to make up for lost time. Mr. Foulkes has sev­ eral other varieties of fuchsia in his garden, one of which produces beauti­ ful blossoms eight inches in length from the end of the stem to the end of the petals.

In a letter from Washington, Bill Morgan notes the slow manner in which business is transacted In the national capital and gives the follow­ ing story to illustrate it: State Senator Fitzpatrick of Kansas, was in Washington on department bus­ iness. He couldn't get this business pushed through, no matter how much he hurried. One day he met National Committeeman Bave Mulvane and complained that during the whole day he hadn’t been able to accomplish a single thing. “Didn't you write a letter to your wife?” asked Dave. “Yes, I did,” responded Fitzpatrick. “Well, don't kick.

Its vast belts, composed apparently of clouds, are continually .undergoing changes, and occasionally an extraordinary apparition rewards the patient observer and sets him to wondering what is happening on the giant planet. Dur­ ing the past summer a conspicuous dark spot has made its appearance in the southern hemisphere of the planet, and its motions are being studied with much interest by astronomers. Some twelve years ago a similar spot sud­ denly sprang into view and drifted, with reference to the surrounding sur­ face, very much as the present one is doing. When it passed the cele­ brated great red spot it seemed to be driven from its course and afterward became strung out in a reddish streak. If the new spot lasts until next July It will also overtake the red spot and may suffer a similar fate. These things are interesting as occurrences -on a world nearly 1,400 times larger than ours.

GERMAN KALI WORKS, 93 Nassau St., Near Yorkr S o. 1 0 . Gold From Mine Waters. The London Engineer notes that ft deposit of gold on a piece of wrought iron, originally used In a mine track, and which had lain in the gutter car­ rying off the mine water, has been found at the Mount LyeiI' Mine, Tas­ mania. On removing the precipitated copper the gold was found deposited in places, especially near three bolt-holes, in the form of bright yellow plates. It was firmly attached to the iron, and had probably been deposited by the electrical action of the iron-copper couple from traces of chlorine in the acid mine water. No gold, however, could be detected in the mine water. Christ’s call secration. is His servant’s con- H e WaB P rom inent In Bnasla.Admiral Count Heyden, wlio died re- jentiy in his ninety-fifth year, had teen a prominent figure at the court ot gt. Petersburg during four reigns. He greatly distinguished himself at the tattle of Navarino, and was then dec- ,rated by Nicholas I. for special brav- >ry. He was for many years governor »f Revel, and in 1866 he was selected ;o escort Princess Dagmar of Denmark (now Empress dowager) froBi Copen­ hagen to St. Petersburg.

Harris, a Prominent Member of a Chicago Woman’s Political Club, tells how Ovarian Troubles may be Cured with­ out a Surgical Operation. She says: j “ Doctors have a perfect craze for operations. The minute there is any trouble, nothing but an operation will do them ; one hundred dollars and costs, and included in the costs are pain, and agony, and often death. “ I suffered for eight years with ovarian troubles ; spent hundreds of dollars for relief, until two doctors agreed that an operation was my only chance of life. My sister had been using Lydia E . Fink- ham ’s Vegetable Compound for her troubles, and been cured, and she strongly urged me to let the doctors go and try the Com­ pound. I did so as a last resort; used it faithfully with the Sana­ tive Wash for five months, and was rejoiced to find that my troubles were over and my health restored. If women would only try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound first, fewer surgical operations would occur.”— Mrs. L. A. H arris, 278 East 81st 3t., Chicago, 111. $6000 FO RFEIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUINE. When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation, weakness, leueorrhosa, displacement or ulceration of tha womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, back­ ache, bloating (or flatulence), general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness,- lassitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, “ all-gone ” and “ want-to-be-left-alone ” feelings, blues, and hopelessness, they should remember there is one tried aha true remedy.

As Artemus Ward would say. h e editors of the Winston dailies |re “amoozing cusses.” They Lveatmsed1 and ridiculed Mr. B la c k b u r n , aud did either one of heui Jeuounce the treatment he Bceived at the hands of the Ma- hine managers at the last elec­ tion, when hundreds of voters were Dot allowed to register and vote or him! Did they endorse the Lction of those force bill fellows ieho forced negroes to vote for Mr. Buxtou in order to get in a vote Ior McKinley! Did they denounce Ihe hoodlums who hissed him in Ihetheatreafterhe was elected! If they have, we have not heard nuch about it. To a reader of hose papers for the last six weeks ,ouW suppose that Hon. Bob. Bienn and a few others were mem. 5 of Congress and not Mr. Black­ burn. After heapiDg these indig­ nities upon him, after burlesq- |ng the Republican President of hese United Staleson your streets Lst fall in an attempt to make po­ litical capital out of the disgrace­ ful proceedings you now want hem to fall over each other in ioming to your rescue. As longas [the Demociatic party is dominated by men who abuse and denounce honorable geutlemen in the Repub­ lican party as you and others have enduing, you iny expect to be Beftseverely alone. Ouecan read [the columns of your papers, and with lew exceptions no good, kind or courteous word is ever given a !Republican. If a Republican Edi­ to r has anything to say about your [lileetion rascality, you denounce |him'as a liar aud a hired falsifier. Ilnstead ot desproviug the charges |by bringing on your proof, you Ivirtnally admit the charges, aud ■try to muzzle him by your con- Kteuiptible, cowardly abuse.

For some time the Journal’s edi- or has been nagging at us, and we have paid no attention to it, but we have decided to read him short lectnre on good manners and decency. The Journal has a per­ fect right to comment on our statements, it has a perfect right to show that statements made by us are not' true if it can but to virtually admit the truth of our assertions, by making dirty, personal flings at us shows that h-: cannot openly disprove our asser­ tions, and in order to predjudiee the Journal readers, it simply hurls its personalities at us, with­ out giving the reason therefor W ehavebeeneducated in a d if­ ferent school, if such conduct as this characterizes a gentlemen in any particular. If what we have said about the attack made on .White men in Winston and other places in Forsyth County at the election is not true why don’t you disprove it! You can’t do it, bnt you can untauthfully say that we “ lie for the fun of it,” and when you say it you are guilty of what you accuse us. Belowwegiveyou a letter written to Justice by a white citizen of Forsyth County who was attacked on the day of the election and beaten up, by some of yourcrowd. Read it. Mr. Justice:—Dear Sir: In re­ ply to your questions as to wheth­ er I was attacked and beaten at the election in Middle Fork HD I in August 1900, 1 must say that I was, and these are the circumstan­ ces: I was standing in the rbad hot far from the voting place, when I was called on to identify a voter. I. went up to do as requested, when I was grabbed by Mr, Henry Rig­ gins and. others and was struck by him and Mr. McArthur, Penry and others several times and bad­ ly hurt. After beating me up they said if some one did not take me away they would kill me. John Mastin came up and took me away, I refused at first to go until I had voted, but Henry Foard and otberB said they would kill me if I tried to vole aud my friends insisted on my staying away. After waiting awhile I started back thinking I could vote bnt. my friends met me and insisted on my staying away as these parties still said if I put my foot on the election grounds they would kill me. Under the circumstances I stayed away and did not vote. Of all those that struck and threatened me, so far as I saw, not one was a . voter at that box or a resident of that township. J o h n P . M ic k e y . M t. Mickey has told how he was assaulted and prevented from vo­ ting. Is it true or is he telling an untruth! Do you approve of such conduct! Do yon think Bob Mc­ Arthur, Henry Riggins, Henry Foard and Penry should go ont in the country among people who have helped to build up your town and beat them up, and threaten their life should they attempt to exercise their fights as Amertcan citizens! Ii not Mx- Journal, why don’t you denounce the crime, and the men who perpetrated it. Are you afraid to expose the crowd who stored Winchesters under the Methodist church in your town to use on the day of the election ! If you are, you should move out from among a people who would deny to yon the God given right to de fend that which you think is right, and to denounce that which you know is wrong. We are not afraid to do it, and when the time comes that we cannot defend the right and denounce the wrong, we will move among more law abiding, God-fearing people. Ii you have any ol the instincts of a gentleman left, hereafter show it in the col­ umns of your paper. We are going to denounce Elec­ tion rascality as long as rascality is continued.. We shall take pleas­ ure in correcting any mistatement that gets into our paper, and make the proper amends for it. And when the job of roasting us is com­ pleted, and we are thoroughly done; we will extend you an invitation to the feast, with the other canni- bals in the crew.

Doctors Agree on Food AU physicians agree that good food, properly selected, is of the utmost importance, not only for the cure of disease but to maintain health even when one is well. A doctor of Gloucester, Mass. says, “I count it a pleasure to say a good word for Postum food Cof­ fee with which I have been enabled to relieve so many sufterers, and which I count, with its valued companion Grape Huts, one of the daily blessings. Coffee was banished from my own table some time ago and Pos turn used regularly in its place. I frequently find it necessary to instruct patients when they take Postum Coffee for the first time to be quite sure it has been boiled longenough tobriug out the clear, black color, and the rich taste, as well as thehealth giving qualities.” The doctor enclosed the names of six patients who were formerly nervous dyspeptics but have been cured by his professional care and the discontinuance of coffee and the using of Postum Food Coffee in itspiace,.

W epoticeinthe Morning Post that the Populist Sheriff of Chat­ ham County has refused to allow the Dem icrats to get the names of all white voters off his tax books who have not paid their poll tax, so that they could notify them. How we know of no law prevent­ ing this, but we think it looks too much like Democracy to refuse. It’s just like they did Republicans two years ago, when they closed the registration books against our inspection, We should show them that we are willing for them to in­ spect the books and if they abuse the privilege, then the people and conits can attend to them. We are against the Sheriff of Chat» ham in this case. We are for the right. Headache kills,.not necessarily suddenly, but s u r e ly . It preys upon the intellectual powers more than we realize. It consumes the vitality faster than nature can replenish it, and we cannot tell just what moment a temporary or complete aberration of the mind will result. Headache and pain should be promptly re­ moved—but properly. Many pain cures 'are more harmful than the pain. Beware. If you would be safe, take Miles’ Pain Pills. “A saresolt of neuralgia I lost the sifhtof my right eye, and.tliepara I have suffered • is -incomprehensible, be­ing obliged to take -opiates almost con­ tinually. A fnend gave, me one of Dr. Miles’ Faih Pills and it promptly re­lieved me. I then purchased a box and now my trouble is gone. They have also cured my daughter of nervous, headache, and T heartily recommend them to others.”—W. J. CORLEY. Bre- InondtTezas. Sold by Druggists. 2$ Doses, 25c.

IiM % W ,<'1 s i' The GrandJury Finds a True Bill and Be Stands For Trial. FORTBE MORDER OF MISS CROPSEY Prisoner Pleads Not Guilty — Venire of 2 5 0 Jurors Drawn — Another Chapter In Famous Cass. A Tuesday special to the Char.otte Observer from Elizabeth City, N. C., says: "The grand jury has found a true bill against James Wilcox. The report was made at 12:15 o’clock Tuesday after­ noon. The jurors came into the court room escorted by an officer and with all the dignity and solemnity due the occasion turned over* the bill of indict­ ment to Judge Jones. In handing the document to the judge, the foreman said: ‘This is what we find/ ” The court ordered the prisoner brought Into court after donner at 2 o’clock, so that he might he arraigned. The order was obeyed and at the hour set James Wilcox, accompanied by his father ,and Deputy Sheriff Reed marched into the bar. The court house was well filled with people and every eye turned to gaze upon the prisoner. Wilcox is a very ordinary-looking, compactly-built man 0? about 28 years. Ks shoulders are broad for a man of his size, and his head is large and is the most striking part of his person. It is bulky, square and heavy. His hair was neatly trimmed and his face clean­ shaven. His general appearance about the. face is that of a courageous, deter­ mined, bull dog. He did not as much as allow the muscles of his face to relax while in the court house. In fact he ap­ peared to be troubled and the least bit restless. He was carefully, but plainly dressed. His hair was parted in the middle and a fiat, smooth curl lay on his forehead just beneath the “part” The solicitor, George W. Ward, ask ed Wilcox to stand and lift his r.ght hand. He obeyed promptly and the plea of "not guilty” was entered by his lead­ ing attorney, E. F. Adylett The bill ct indictment reads as follows: “The State of North Carolina. Pas- quot&nk County Superior Court, March Term, 1902. The jurors for the State upon their oaths present that James Wilcox, late of the said county and State, on the 20th day of November. 1901. with force and arms in the coun­ty of Pasquotank, in said State, felon­ iously, wilfully and with malice afore­ thought, did kill and murder Ella M. Cropsyf against the statute in such cases made and provided, and against the peace and dignity of the State.(Signed) “GEO. W. WARD, “Solicitor.’ After the plea of not guilty was mane Mr. Adylett said that his client would be tried by his God and his country. The State asked that a special venire of 200 be drawn. The defense insisted on 250, which were drawn from the boxes by a boy, William Younge, under ten years old. This case promises a lively contest. The prosecution and the defense are alert and will fight every inch of ground. Aydett asked the judge to make a note to the effect that the de­ fense abjected to the box from which the jurors were drawn, claiming that It had not been revised within the last two years as the law provides. The venire was made returnable Thursday afternoon, at 2 o’clock, when the trial will begin. When the venire was drawn Wilcox was returned to jail. News In Paragraphs. A Philadelphia dispatch says: “Rear Admiral W. S. Schley, accompanied by his wife, arrived here Monday after­noon from Washington and he was tendered a reception by the Pennsyl­ vania Club.” The cancellation of King Edward’s visit to Ireland is believed to mean that many arrests for politi -^1 offenses are to be made. A London dispatch says: “One hun­ dred and fifty bales of cottcn and 10$ bales of cotton seed meal in the cargo of the British steamer Mora, Caot. Harris, which arrived from SaTOnnah. at Bremanf for Hamburg, were badly damaged by fire and water.” KILLED BYA BLOW.

The negroes, two of them, are of tbe ante-bellum type, each being between 50 and 60 years old. They are honesty good-looking, full-blooded Africans.

The court house was well filled at an early hour Thursday. Many women were within the bar. The crowd was good humored. Dr. I. Fearing, coroner of the county, was the first witness called. He said: “I am a graduate of the Colloge of Physicians and Surgeons of Baltimore. Have been coroner three years and have held two post-mortem examinations. One was held on the body of Miss Nellie Cropsey just after Christman day, on the 27th of Decem­ ber. “I found the body In Pasquotank river 50 yards from the Cropsey resi­ dence, about 2-5 yards to the right of the house, looking to the river. The body had been tfed down by Mr. Still­ man, the fisherman who found it It was carried to a little outhouse near the river. Drs. J. E. Wood, 0. McMullan and myself held the autopsy. It was be • gun after the body had been out of the water an hoar. The two doctors, myself and six jurors were present. We first examined the clothing to see if there were any marks of violence. The skirt was of dark goods and the waist red. She wore a slipper on one foot, the right, and nothing but a stocking on the other. I found the clothing in fair condition. There were no torn places. The fingers were partially drawn and the limbs were limp. I did not examine the finger nails. While in the water the legs hung loosely. They were not stiff at all. Wc removed all the clothing from the body except the stockings. We first cut the body from the pit of the stomach to' below the naval. We examined the vaginal organs and found them to be those of a virgin. The womb was normal. The condition of the hy­ men and the womb indicated that she was a pure woman. We found the in­testines and stomach normal. The heart was etfipty on both sides. We cut off a piece of the right lung and found that on being squeezed it emitted a small amount of frothy mucous. Nothing was found in the pleura.“The neck was all right except a mark or depression caused by the col­lar. We examined the head and noticed that it was a little more swollen cn the left than ou the right side. We quit there, but after going up town and see­ing the solicitor we went back and held as autopsy of the head. Then we made an incision around the head, beginning r*n the right side, and removed the scalp. The skull was left bare. As we cut through the left temple we saw a swelling or contusion. We found in the swollen place, which was about 2x2 inches in size, a tablespoonful of clot­ ted blood. The membrane over the bone was colored dark blue. The condition there was brought about by a blow.”The defense objected to the question that brought out the last assertion and the court ruled that it was competent; that the witness was a medical expert. Tho defense entered an exception but tho court stood firm and the examina­ tion continued. The witness continued: “The blow was given by some round, padded in­strument. Such a blow would produce unconsciousness which would likely last half an hour. “The absence of water in the stom­ ach, lungs and the pleural cavities would indicate that death was not caused by drowning. If Miss Cropsey had got in tho water alive and con­ scious and drowned, the water would have been In these. Along with the water would have been digested or un­ digested food in the stomach and blood and froth in the lungs. If I had found rheso conditions I would have said that she went in the water conscious.” Death of Genera! David Stanley. Washington, Special—Major Gen­ eral David S. Stanley, V. S.

Manufactrer’s Record. The consumption of iron, which is cow running at about the rate of 18,- 000,000 tons a year, is so staggering that it is difficult to fully grasp the fact that this growth is permanent. It is altogether probable that we shall again see much lower prices iff iron than at present, as it would not' be natural to expect afi unbroken record of Die phenomenal activity which how pervades the iron and- steel in­ dustry; but we have probably reached a period where the consumption of iron and steel will expand as rapidly as the productive capacity of the country. We may have temporary dullness, as in the past, but the in­ creasing uses of iron in fireproof con­ struction, which must come about in the better class of dwellings, as in office buildings; the vast extension —now a necessity—in the terminal facilities of the railroads of the coun­ try, and in the improvement of road­ bed and rolling stock to meet the heavier traffic, are all factors in aug­ menting the consumption of iron even beyond the 18,000,000 tons which we have reached. In the light of the growing power of iron and steel, it is of more than sectional interest that the South has passed the specu­ lative period in this industry, and is now in position, by virtue of the ♦im­ provements which have been made and the new capital which has been secured during the last few years, to* reap the benefit of a very active and sound extension of its iron interests. The experimental, and to a large ex­tent speculative, condition which so long prevailed in the Southern iron trade, to the great detriment of its legitimate advancement, has passed away. One by one the leading iron companies of the South have been putting their plants in a high state of efficiency, enlarging their furnaces, j improving their facilities for mining j ore and coal and making coke, and thus getting on a basis fpr lower cost 1 of production, which, when lower prices come, will enable them to con­ tinue in' profitable operation without the troubles which hampered so many of them in times past; With all of its advantages for iron-making, the South made comparatively little progress in that industry between 1890 and 1900. This was due in part to lack of ade­ quate capital and experience, and in part to many cases of thoroughly bad, even if not knowingly corrupt, mis­ management, the evil influence of which directly and indirectly injured the iron trade of the whole South. It is since about 1900 that the South’s iron interests have been getting into better shape, and henceforth the de­ velopment of this industry promises to be more nearly commensurate with the advantages of this section than has been the case in the past. The outlook is altogether cheering. A $3 0 0 ,0 0 0 Additional Mill. A ,dispatch from Spartanburg, S. C., announces an extensive addition to be made by the D. E. Converse Co. of Clendale, S. C.

Only Nine Persons Escaped WHILE TBE LITTLE STEAMER WAS Entering Lake Palmyra a Sudden Squall Struck Her, Aimost Lilted Her Out of the Watsr and Turned Her Bottom Upward. Vicksburg, Miss., Special.—The stern­ er Providence, plying between this port and Lake Palmyra, was 9verturned at 2 o’clock Wednesday morning by a sud­ den squall at lone landing and 20 of her passengers and crew were drowned. The dead: Capt. Cassedy, of Vicks­ burg; Chas. Roup, of Vicksburg; Clyde Scott; of Vicksburg, cotton seed buyer: Dr. N. A. Lancaster, a prominent phy­ sician and planter of the Palmyra neighborhood; 17 colored roustabouts and deck passengers whose names have not been reported. The ill-fated boat left here at noon Tuesday on her regular trip, carrying a large miscellaneous cargo, of freight and a number of passengers. ' At 2 o’clock, as the steamer was entering Lake Palmyra, a sudden storm of cy­ clonic proportion came out of the west, catching the Providence broadside on. The little vessel was lifted almost en­ tirely out of the water, her upper works blown away and her hull turned bottom side up in 40 feet of water. The victims were drowned like rats in a trap. Only nine of the entire boat’s company were saved. The property loss will amount to several thousand dollars. Messrs. Cassidy, Scott, Roup and Lancaster were all married men and leave large families. A steamer carying caskets and divers left here for the scene im­ mediately and will attempt to recover all the bodies. Those rescued were J. B. Johnson, pilot; Walter Kain, clerk; J. M. Wil­ kinson, mate; eight negroes. The sur­ vivors reached here late this afternoon coming overland, a distance of about 40 miles. The Providence was built at Lyons, Ia., in 1886, and had been in the trade here for some years. She was about 120 tons burden and was consid­ ered one of the fastest stern-wheelers on the lower river. The Belle of the Bends is overdue from Greenville, but other boats moved on time.

Kor need he. TLe United States, with its industries developed under the fostering care of irotce'ion, has so much to sell and is Jn a position to buy in such Large Oiiaiititics that it can command favor- -1Lle terms without sacrificing domestic interests. It was Lord Salisbury, the British rromier, who once lamented Ihe fact that free trade had left Eng­ land economically defenseless. He said In substance that his country'conld ex­ act nothing from other nations in re- inin for trade concessions, because it had already given np everything, and there was no opportunity for a quid JH-O quo. The United States, on the other hand, is economically impregna- hle. rrotectica has aided it in per­ fecting a wonderful industrial system, and it Is in a position to sell to all the world. It has almost illimitable re­ sources in the Coriu ot products which the world needs. It is able to buy vast amounts of goods which other parts of the world supply. It holds a master­ ful place, and can make reciprocity minister to its own interests as well as to those of its customers. This is the principle contemplated by Iiie statesmen who have favored reci­ procity. The benefits are not to be one sided. If the United States yields something in the way of trade advan­ tages Ihe reciprocating nations must no equally obliging. Reciprocity will not he nscd to destroy what protection has built up. The two must go hand In hand. When we have reciprocity it must be with protection. That is sound Americanism and the true Re­ publican policy.—Troy Times. IIow Woiilil tlio VVorklugmau F are? Of course the Babcock scheme is in high favor among the free traders and that section of the Democratic party that appears to rejoice over disaster, no matter who suffers. And while it is true that the great steel combination could stand a large cut In the tariff scheules affecting their products, how would the workingman fare? Prices would be lowered to meet any foreign competition, and that would result in a paring of the present wages. The trust could stand it, but the working­ man wonid be the sufferer. Anoct?;: thing, if one schedule was tampered with it would open up the door to a promiscuous revision, and there is no telling where it would stop, Under these circumstances we do not believe the Republican party will be so foolish as to fall into any trap, however appetizing may be the bait.—Wheeling intelligencer. H avo Sat H ow n A gain. The Democratic newspapers have abandoned for the time being their attempt to bring about a revision of the tariff a t. the present session of Oongress. They have, moreover, lost Interest in the question of reciprocity. This is because they have seen a new light. When the late President Mc­ Kinley made his last speech, at the Pan-American Exposition, in Buffalo, the free traders thought they saw a chance to drive an entering wedge. They twisted what Mr. McKinley said into a declaration for free Wade, and his statement that duties-which were no longer needed for purposes of pro­ tection might be remitted was taken by them as evidence that he was ready to abandon the entire protection the­ ory. Following up what they said about the late President, they tried to make it appear that President Roose­ velt’s St. Paul’s speech was a declara­ tion in favor of free trade. Then they were encouraged to believe that a suc­ cessful assault on protection could be made this winter. They think so no longer. President Roosevelt’s flat footed dec­ laration in favor of protection In his message, and his further statement that reciprocity can only be encouraged when it is regarded as the hand maid­ en of protection has opened the eyes of Ihe free traders. They now see that it is idle to hope for tariff legislation r.t this session of Congress.—Cleveland Leader.

B. a First Count IIio Cost, • Reciprocity, like protection, should be adopted only in the interest of na­ tional welfare. It is not in the inter­ est of national prosperity to adopt a policy that shall merely promote the interest of one industry by sacrificing that of another. So far as puiiiie pol­ icy is used at all, it should be used for, the development of all domestic indus­ try, both manufacturing and agricul­ tural. Foreign trade, if it is acquired, should be acquired by the development of perfection and superiority in our do­ mestic industries, so as to overcome foreign competitors by competition, but never by a spe.cial bargain that shall sacrifice or injure another domestic in­ dustry. Before the manufacturers of tills country give themselves over to the reciprocity movement they had better stop and count tbe cost, consider the influence, not upon the stove factories or the plow factories, but its influence upon the domestic industries of the whole country. They must remember that if favors are granted to one they must be granted to another and an­ other and another. In fact one concern has just as much right as another to ask the Government to buy its right of free entry into some foreign market by adding its neighbor to the free list. The only logical outcome, in fairness to them all, would be to put them all on the free list, which would, of course, accomplish the highest ideal of those who are most ardently promoting the reciprocity movement.—Gunton’s Mag­ azine. B abcock's Boom eiaAng. The objections to Mr. Babcock’s bill are two: First, that any tariff agita­ tion is harmful to the country’s busi­ ness, and second, that his measure is not a certain remedy for the evil which it seeks to cure. Tbe magnates of the Steel Trust snap tlieir fingers at the tariff. They do not care whether we have a free trade or a protectionist ma­ jority in Washington. They proclaim their ability to undersell foreigners, without any tariff whatsoever, because Cf the magnitude of their operations, and the economics which that magni­ tude makes possible. They say to the Congressmen: “Go ahead. Smash your tariff all to pieces. We don’t care. We shall go on dGing as we please, selling our goods at any prices we wish wherever we can find a market for them. Then they laugh in their sleeves at Congressional credulity, and chuckle at the disaster that tariff smashing might bring upon their younger and weaker outside competi­ tors. The Steel Trust can stand Mr. Bab­ cock’s bill. But the Steel Trust's com­ petitors, feebler concerns, with small capital, cannot stand It. If the bill were enacted, instead of crippling the Steel Trust, it would really strengthen its grip upon the home market, and give it a virtual monopoly of the Iron and steel trade of America. Congress­ men who want to do this will support Mr. Babcock’s bill. Kewgpapers that want to bring this thing about will call for its immediate enactment.—Bos­ ton Journal. IN CONGRESS. SoiitU W a n t. P rotection. The South has now entered the field of manufacturing. It is not at all im­ probable that it may want all it can get out of the business. Protection fur­ nishes mnch of the profit of the busi­ ness, and the South may want that. There is a tendency in the East to go back into the shipbuilding business. That carries with it the free trade in­ clination. More than this, the East does not produce the raw material on which its manufactories work. It does not want a tariff on raw material, and that is an entering wedge to the de­ struction of protection. Already in the South there is something of a protec­ tive spirit. This is shown-by the. fact that at the Democratic convention in Chicago, which nominated Mr. Bryan, Messrs. Tillman and Bailey, both on the Committee on Resolutions and Platform, insisted in striking out the word “only” in the platform of four years before, where it qualified the powers of the Government in impos­ ing a tariff on the country’. In other Words, the Democratic annunciation for a tariff for revenue “oniy” was changed to a declaration for a tariff 'for revenue, leaving tbe inference that under the new Democracy a tariff might be imposed for purposes other than for revenue to carry on the Gov­ ernment—Galveston News. According to The Express Gazette there were sixteen train robberies last year and twenty-nine In 1900. In the past twelve years 306 trains has been “held up” by robbers, and 95 persons killed and 105 iniured by being shot. In the past two years 5 train robbers were killed and 2 wounded, and 2 pas­ sengers and trainmen killed and 19 grounded. - - ——-j Detailed Doings of Our National Law­ makers. - HOUSE. 47th day.—The House closed the de­ bate upon the postoffiee appropriation bill and completed consideration ol twelve of the twenty-seven pages. No amendments were adopted.. The prin­ cipal portion of the general debate was devoted to the discussion of the appropriation for special mail facili­ ties. Mr. Grumpacker, of Indiana, opened the debate on this topic. The Southern Railway, which received the subsidy between Washington and New Orleans, he said, now received ?C-G9 per mile in regular mail pay against $335 when the subsidy was inaugurated in 1393. He contended that the road could not afford to with­ draw its fast train if the subsidy was withdrawn. Mr. Underwood, of Ala­ bama, defended the subsidy to the Southern Railway on the ground that it was absolutely necessary to give the South quick mail facilities. The whole South, he said, was benefited by the extra train run in return for this appropriation. 75th day.—The House passed the postoffice appropriation bill. The on­ ly amendmet of importance was one to incorporate in the bill the pro visions of the bill to classify the rural free delivery service, passed a few days ago. Mr, Crumpacker, of Indi­ ana, moved to strike out the appro­ priation of $142,728 for the special fast mail facilities from Washington to New Orleans. His motion was lost. 36 to 56. ATWaoF SENATE. .74th day.—The Senate resumed con­ sideration of the ship subsidy meas­ ure and Mr. Berry, of Kansas, a mem­ ber of the commerce committee, which reported the. bill, made a vig­orous argument in opposition to it. He charged that it would foster trusis and monopolies in the shipping in­ dustry and that already J. Pierpont .Morgan and his associates were form­ ing a syndicate for the control of the shipping on the Atlantic. In this con­nection, he became involved in a col­ loquy with Mr. Manna, of Ohio, who maintained that the ships secured by Mr. Morgan from foreign countries could not participate in the subsidies provided by the pending measure. Mr. Perkins, of California, auother member of the commerce committee, read a carefully-prepared speech in support of the bill maintaining that it would add to the prosperity of the entire country.“15th day.—Throughout the session of the Senate, the ship subsidy bill was under consideration. The meas­ ure was discussed by Mr. Foraker, of Ohio; Mr. McLaurin, of Mississippi, and Mr. Harris, of Kansas. Mr. For aker supported tbe bill, although ha admitted that he would have pre­ ferred to build up the American mer­ chant marine by the levying ,of dis­ criminating duties. He was willing however, to defer to the judgment of the majority that the pending meas-* ure embodied , the better plan. While Mr. Foraker was discussing the mall routes to be established under ths pending bill, Mr. Bacon, of Georgia, insisted that the measure should spec­ ify what routes should be established, that no such important question should be left to the Postmaster Gen­eral. Mr. Foraker slated that he would prefer such a coarse, but Mr. Hanna suggested that the ship own­ ers ought to have something to say upon that subject, as it would not be just to provide routes that could not be operated at a profit. Mr. Foraker asserted that the Internationa! Navi­ gation Company—the American Iins— had made no money by carrying the mails, under the postal subsidy act, and did not care for a renewal of its contract.Mr. McLaurin, of Mississippi, fol­lowed Mr. Foraker. He was opposed not only to the bill, he said, but to the principles it represented. He said there had been no decadence in ship building in the United States, all re­ ports tending to show that, that indus­ try is now experiencing a boom such as it has not had in Sfl years. He at­tacked the proposed United States Ship-Building Company, and called R a combination formed for the purpose of employing labor as economically as possible. O ntofB Y Jl Good JTay Com e. Having first called a halt in the cru­ sade against the giant eTil of under­ valuation, and having by the removal of an honest and zealous officer de­ prived the Government of almost the only potent force at its command in the carrying out of that enisade, Ly­ man J. Gage lost no time in “getting out from under.” If to many persons the brutal sacrifice of a competent offi­ cial has seemed to be a high price to pay for Gage’s retirement, there is comfort in the thought that the way may have been thereby paved toward a better state of things. The San Fran­ cisco Chronicle evidently fakes that view: “It is possible that the exit of Gagc from tbe office of Secretary. of the Treasury may be regarded by some as a national loss, but those who believe that the tariff laws of the country ought to be rigidly enforced will not regret that a free trader disposed to lax construction has been superseded by an official-whom we may reasonably expect to view such matters as under­ valuation from the standpoint of pro­ tectionism.” F la t F ree T aile.

Having followed with deep interest the progress of the good roads move­ ment of recent years in both the United States and Canada, I desire briefly to touch upon a few points of the good roads question from the farmer’s poiai of view. If it is sound public policy and the true function of government to do in Hie interest of the community ai a whole all those things which ths indi­ vidual cannot well do by himself, does it not appear clear that the State should pay the whole cost for improv­ ing Us main thoroughfares? These are to be the leading arteries connecting all business centres, and continuing from county to county across the en­ tire State and separate from the many other local rcad3 to be cared for by the local authorities. The principle of State built highways appears to be as old as civilization itself, being adopted by the first ex­ tensive builders of good roads—the Carthaginians and Romans. Not since the building by the latter of the Ap- pian Vv'ay and the 53,000 miles of solid roads across that ancient empire, and which remain as monuments of their wisdom to this day, has any country obtained the priceless boon of good roads without some measure of State aid. Let the State first build its main highways and they will be ever pres­ ent object lessons to the local authori­ ties for constructing the other roads. The length and number of Streets in the city are short and small compared with the compact concentration of wealth, thus making the burden of cost comparatively light for street im­ provement. In -the country districts the length and number of only the leading highways to be improved are so far oat of proportion to the sparsely settled and scattered wealth of the farming communities that it is entirely j out of the question for the farmers alone to think of paying ‘ the much larger comparative cost for such first class stqne roads as are required.. The farmers have always borae their share, sometimes more than their fair share, of needful taxation, and will not object to paying their just part for State built good roads. Partial measures of State.aid are steps in the right direction, so far as they go. I wotild not, say anything in i disparagement of the good work and' the very commendable degree ol prog­ ress that has been made under the partial systems Gf State aid for good 'reads in those leading States of New Jersey, Connecticut and New York. But in the foremost State, Massachu­ setts, which has adopted more nearly the European and Roman systems, we find the nearest to the ideal plan, a i continuous system of good roads built | across tho entire State, under compe­ tent State authority. The work is pro­ jected and the roads properly located where they will be of the greatest good to the greatest number. The State builds the roads and pays the whole cost, and afterwards charges one- fourth of it to the county through which the road is built. This far less complicated system overcomes un im­ mense amount of difficulties, draw­ backs and delays with the less enter­ prising local authorities of county or township. Let the general governments of the United States and Canada build ideal continental highways from ocean to ocean, IuK the States, and provinces build similar highways from border to border. Lot the European nations ex­ pend some of their war millions in building ideal highways from Europe across Asia, thereby placing Western civilization in closer touch with the Chinese and other Orientals. Let the United States and England build good roads' in the Philippines and South Africa, and they will more effectually pacify the Filipinos and Boers at far less cost than by use of the cannon.— J. F. Bean, Vice-President Ontario Good Roads Association, at the Buf­ falo Good Roads Congress. “ - How They Pop the Question. In this favored land of the free every lovelorn swam has his own way of making love and popping the ques­ tion, but in some foreign countries me peasantry have peculiar anu tra­ ditionary ways of performing those pleasing functions. Among Hungarian gypsies cakes are used as love letters. Inside the cake is a coin, which is baked in it. The cake is flung to the favored object of one’s affections. The retention ot the cake signifies “ac­ ceptance,” bat if it is flung back with force, it signifies “rejection.” The Japanese lover, wishing to make known the state of his feelings throws a bunch of pale plum-flower buds into his loved one’s Utter as she enters it to go to a friend’s wedding. If she tosses the blossoms lightly out the suitor knows that he is rejected; but if she fastens them to her girdle, it is “Oh happiness!” with him In some parts of Spain the young peasant looks unutterable things, but never tries to speak until he has been accepted. The girl neither looks nor speaks, but sho sees. Late in the cool of the evening the youth knocks at her father’s door and asks' for a gourd of water. It is, of course, given to him. Then comes the crisis. If he is invited to take a chair within the porch or a seat in the garden he is an accepted suitor; but if this civil­ ity is not extended to him, he goes away knowing that he is rejected. If he is accepted, there is a general cele­ bration by the family of the bride-to- be in honor of her betrothal. SlOl Ecward. S100.

Hall’s CatarrhCure is taken inter­nally, acting directly upon tho blood and mu­cous surfaces of the system, thereby destroy­ing the foundation of the disease, and-'giving tho patient strength by building_ up the con­stitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

Nothing ap­ parently is beyond the reach of the confident and daring hand that wields the life saving blade.

It is the possibility of largo returns for labor in this direction which keeps up the price of labor in our. manufactories and in all our industries, and thus brings comfort and ease within tho reach of all. Good roads, by lessenr ing the cost of agricultural products, form the most effectual means of maintaining the condition of comfort and even luxury of which America is so proud.—H. W. Cohh,' Department of Biology, Wesleyan University, Mid­ dletown, Conn. A Fredictios. When in the years to come our pub­ lic roads cease to be a reproach to out beloved land, farmers will wonder how they were ever content to strug­ gle through beds of juni or over roads frozen into a succession of miniature hiil3 and valleys.

Copeland, the talent­ ed editor of the Bichmond Times, in writing from Danville, Ya., says: “After making fhe rounds I am persuaded that the question with the whites in the Black Belt is not what they will do with the negro, but what they will do with­ out him.’-' He says that this con- ditiou has arisen liecanse the ne­ groes in large numbers go away “in droves” to work in other parts of onr great country. From Dan­ ville alone the chief of police in­ forms Mr. Copeland that sineel894 about three thousand negroes have left that city. We thongbt that we wanted to say something on the negro prob­ lem in 'Virginia but wheu we come to think the matter over we were reminded of a celebrated writer's chapter on snakes in Ireland, the whole chapter consisting of the line • ‘'There are no snakes in Ireland And so the so-called negro problem in Virginia cau be truth­ fully disposed of in these words: ‘There is no negro problem in Virginia,’’ so far as the political control of the State is coneerned. The vision of it has been conjured up by certain wiley and scheming Democratic politicians for the pur­ pose of affrightening weak-minded voters and thus getting them to vote the so-called “white man’s ticket..”—Spirit of Valley. The above article reminds us of a conversation we had some time ago on the traiu with a Va. gentleman and who from his con­ versation, lead us to believe tta t he was a Simon pure Democrat. He was talking about the negro question, and the Constitutional Convention which has been in ses­ sion almost a year in Va., and he said that the Democrats carried the negro counlies in Va., and that the Bepublican strong hold was in the West or white counties. Now with this state of affairs in Va., aud the same, geographically speak iug existing in Iforth Carolina, that the Democrats carry the ne­ gro counties, and yet they squall ;niggei ” at the Bepublicans. If our Democratic frieuds would ac­ cord us fair treatment in the West, and would not cheat White Be­ publicans wherever they can, and would give a fair and honest elec­ tion, we could hope and believe that the inillenium had about struck us. We shall continue to battle for the Tight, and hope for the best. Correspondence ^ if t l| l >| t )| t l| t ^ u | i aft Wyo Items. Jim White left this County for Kansas last week.

MMr. Pation told Tom last night that you had thrown him over. I don't see how your conscience allowed you to act so. I-Ie is such a catch—young and good-looking. Best of all, he is taor- moitsly wealthy.” Zslary smiled as she speared a crown of her demure little turban with a long pin. She was thinking of a iuan who was no longer young—near forty, per­ haps—who was handsomer In her eyes than all other men, and who was by no means wealthy. “I really believe,’' went on Miss Rotli, “that you have an absurd fancy for Chnriie E\cvett—I do, Indeed!” ; Mary's smile became quizzical. < “Really Ti she said. :• “Oh, Ifve no patience with you!” de­ clared Bnmetta wrathfuily. “You’ve known Charlie Everett three or four years. All this time he has been most devoted to you, but not one of your friends know to this day whether you are engaged or not/’ : The smile faded from Mary’s lips. “We are not,” she answered, and the gay little cousin fancied her tone was sad. - “And yet you have been more gra­ cious to him than to any of the oth­ ers,” pursued 31iss Both, relentlessly. “Mary, are you in love vith him?” “Isn’t that,” counter-questioned Mary, evasively, “what the lawyers would cnil a leading question? I don’t wish to seem rude, or to hurry you, Brunet- ta, but I have an engagement to sign some papers this afternoon at the office of Deal & Burritt. Can’t you come with me?” i “Yes. . I must see Mme. Mireau about my Easter hat. One must ar­ range with her in time, as she is al­ ways rushed with orders. Are those paners connected with vour uncle's will?” ; “Yes.” * “He left you everything. What a lucky girl you are! I suppose now you feel you can afford to marry whom you please.” » The conversation again turned on Charlie Everett as the girls rode down town together on the Metropolitan ele­ vated. \ “He is a mysterious fellow,” Bru- netta remarked. “Mysterious:” Mary sent her a sud­ den look of inquiry. “What do you mean?” • “Well, there really is reason why lie should be considered a good deal of an enigma. While not wealthy, like Christopher Patton, Tom tells mo he has a good salary, and adds to this by his writings. But you know he does sot spend money as other men in our S .V - ft 1 ~ I*: \ / / i . Ii “There is one house in the suburbs where he is known to frequently visit” the other went on. Bnmettn, as will be observed, was not above en­ joying a bit of gossip. “Two women live there. Oue is apparently a supe­ rior sort of servant. The other is a pretty, delicate looking little creature of about twenty-five or thereabouts. Occasionally Miv Everett takes her driving through the parks. Has he ever mentioned her to you?” Mary forced herself to answer “No.” “Nor to any one else. But I have seen him out with her. Who is she?” A feeling of unrest, an indefinable fear, thrilled the heart of Mary Vane. She recalled the night Charlie Everett had told her of his love. “I cannot now ask you to be my wife,” he had said. “I will some day, God willing. The time may not be far off, but I love you too well to bind you by a promise you might later find burdensome. And you ^ dear, will you-trust me aud wait?” That was a year ago. And now she had to acknowledge to herself that she knew little more of his private life or of bis personal af­ fairs than she knew then. Brunetta paused suddenly before a florist's window. “O, I had almost forgotten! Mamma told me to order some flowers for to­ morrow. Will you come in with ine?” They stood a few minutes admiring the display in the window, the golden daffodils and shy blue crocuses, pure lilies of the valley, flaunting tulips, starry jasmine and cool green ferns forming a tender background for them all. The attendants were busy iWhen they entered. The girls stood back of a high rubber tree admiring some rare chrysanthemums, when the door was flung open and a gentleman came in. He was of medium height and had a kind, brown-bearded, thoughtful face. Kot noticing any one in the Store he went directly to the counter. To a man at that instant disengaged he gave his order. ____ brother was injured in that railroad wreck four years ago, he begged Mr. Charlie in dying to take care of his young wife. Mr. Charlie promised him. He has supported her, and given her every comfort since. She was always weakly, and when her mind gave way out of brooding over her husband’s death, and she was such a charge, Mr. Charlie was that gentle and patient with her—my! She had spells of un­ derstanding. Then she’d beg not to be sent to an asylum—not that Mr. Charlie would think of such a thing. She wouldn’t hurt a bird, poor dear! There! That is Mr. Charlie now!” A step'crossed the ball. Looking pale and worn Charlie Everett came into the room. His face lighted up at sight of his sweetheart. “You—Mary!” he cried. “Hush!” she begged. She broke down, crying bitterly. “Don’t you look at me —don’t speak to me until I have told you bow it is that I am here.” She brokenly whispered the truth. “You can never trust me again,” she said, in conclusion. He took her in his arms. “Perhaps I should have spoken to you of her, but I hated to cast so dark a shadow over your young life. I could not keep up two households and she was penniless. She was my charge before I learned to love you. My first duty was to-her. The doctors agreed she could not live long. As for trusting —my dearest, you must forgive me for not having confided in you—I you, for your doubt of me. So we are equal. Is it not Whittier who writes: “ ‘Love scarce is love that never knows The sweetners of forgiving.” * They passed out together into the brilliance of the Sabbath morning.— Chicago Tribune.

Send to this address.” He laid a card and a bill on the coun­ ter. An instant later he had received his change and walked out. The girls stared at each other. “That,” gasped Burnetta, "was Char­ lie Everett.” “Yeo, I know,” murmured Marjr. Before she could put out her hand to stop her meddlesome friend the latter had stepped to the counter and read tlie address on the card which lay there. “Just as I thought,” she remarked a few minutes later, when they were out in the street together. “The address is 14 Forest avenue, Idlewild. That is the suburb in which, his mysterious ac­ quaintance of whom I told you lives.” Tho number, street, place, burned into Mary’s brain. She parted from Brunetta and went home. A fierce fever of jealousy possessed her. Who was this woman * to whom he sent Lsnten lilies? Idlewild was directly south of her own home. A cable car ran out to the pretty place. She would go there.

A G ainsborough, Park Appropriation to Be Larger Ilrn Was Expected. ADVOCATlt S OF THE PATK ELATED. Drs. McGee, Ambler, Profs. Pinchot, Holmes and Others Presented ths Need of Ihe Park Forcibly. A special from Washington Wednes­ day night says: There is a feeling to­ night that the hearing on the Appa­ lachian Park bill today will be produc­ tive of results that the friends of the measure have hitherto hardly dared to hope for. In an entertaining, lucid, yet scientific manner the purposes of th.e proposed reserve were.-tfxplained to the committee- by Dr. McGee, of the Bu­ reau of American Ethnology; PrM. Pinchot, of the forestry division of {ho Agricultural Department; Dr. Ambler, secretary of the Park Association; Prof. Holmes, Representative Brown­ lee, and Mr. Chas. Seymour, of Knox­ ville. After the hearing Representatiye Moody asserted’his belief that the com­ mittee would make an appropriation of $10,000,000 instead of $5,000,000, saying that Chairman Wadswofth favored such an appropriation, and that the proposition for an increase also met the approval of Representatives Henry and Connell, the first named gentleman being chairman of the sub-committeo to which the matter has for the time being been referred. Not only this, but It was stated after the executive session of the committee which followed the public, hearing, that Representative Williams would make no further ob­ jections to the passage of the bill. The hearing developed but a single disap­ pointment. The North State delegation was not well represented at the hear­ ing. Representatives Moody and Kluttz being tho only members of the delega­ tion from th£ State who were present. Even the sister State of South Caro­ lina was better represented. It is fair to state, however, that Mr. Bellamy was out of the city, Mr. Pou was ill du­ ring the forenoon and could not leave his hotel, while Mr. Small was busy preparing a speech against the river and harbor bill. Others may also have had good excuse for the absence. By careful and tactful questioning on the part of Messrs^ Kluttz and Moody many-important and valuable points were brought to the attention of the committee. Once the former interrupted to ask if it were not a fact that many mountain land owners were at this time caring for forests in a way that would have the approval of the government, to which Prof. Pinchot gave an affirm­ative answer, calling especial attention to the Vanderbilt estate. The sub-com- mittee is expected to report to the |ull committee very soon. Independent Telephone Company. Charleston, S. C., Special.—The Southern Independent Telephone As­ sociation was formed here at a meet­ ing of representatives of indepen­ dent telephone companies from North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Virginia. About 100 delegates were present. F. V. L. Turner, of At­ lanta, was elected president; W. A. Barrien, of Tampa, vice president, and Paul Langdon, of Augusta, secretary and treasurer, further conferences was held Thursday. Dangerous Wreck Sighted. New Orleans, Special.—The Morgan Line steamer Albia, from New York, March 13, reports that March 14, lati­ tude 36:29 north, longitude ?4:5G west, the Albia saw the wreck of a schooner of about five or six hundred tons. She was floating awash, her stern was cut off just abaft the main channel plates and the two lowar masts were floating alongside.- The vessel is a dangerous obstruction to navigation. Items of Interest OUaned From Hurphy to Msnteo. Shooting at Wlastoo. Winston, S alem . Special.—Robei Goins, colored, was shot and perhap fatally wounded Sunday afternoon i Nortli Winston, near Belo's pond, by a negro named Cash. Goins Jias een working in Hoediger’s bar for ^ time. Cash Is a barber and worked i the shop ol his brotber C B. Cash The shooting occurried In the sire opposite Goins’ home. Immedmteiya^ ter the trouble Cash came downtown and gave himself up to the officers. ^ w as committed to jail* Dr. » ored,,who attended the mailfound that three balls too* efi-ct. One went through the !eftshoulcler, through the front of the nee*, aboa the centre, striking the collar bone. The ball that penetrated theJ ^ ngh „„1 found and cut out between the short der blades. The one In the neck *as also removed. Dr. Hall stated this af­ternoon that If Goins recovered it would be a miracle. Parties wao wit- nessed the shooting say the men were not over five feet apart when it occur­red; that tJoins drew his pistol first, but it only snapped the first time; that he fired twice at Cash. It appesu'S that the trouble between Goins and Casn originated over the latter’s step-daugh­ ter and a sister of the first n am ed, Hat­ tie Goins. It seems that Gertrude Hopper was teaching a public school, but she failed to give stisfaction and the place was given to Hattie Goins. This brought on unpleasantness and caused the two girls to make uncompli­mentary remarks about each other. Crushed in a Well. Charlotte, Special.—While Carey Etheredge, colored, stood waist deep in water in an old well in Biddleyille Mon­day morning at 9:30 the stone curbing of the well caved in, seriously injuring EStheredge and holding him a prisoner until 2:30 o’clock, when he was lib­erated by the work of a number, of men who had hurried to the rescue. The woll is the property of Hicks Diamond and is about 28 feet deep. Etheredge was working at the bottom, alone, when the heavy stones that formed the curbing gave way without warning. The debris was so great, fortunately, that most of it was jammed together at a point just above Etheredge’s head. Several oi the heavier rocks struck Etheredge on the head, cutting ugly gashes and one of the stones, striking Just above the right temple, fractured his skull. Shortly after the accident the cries for help that came from the well attracted the attention of passers by, and In & short times a dozen or more men were rapidly lifting the stone's from the: head of the prisoner. After Etheredge had been taken from the well, a physician was summoned. He stated that the injuries of Etheredge were serious. Etheredge was taken to his home and is still in a precarious condition.

Burlington, Special.—Will Ezel, of Haw River, was injured at that place Monday night by attempting to board' the Southern passenger train No. 13. on the bridge just west of the depot, and died last night from the injuries. He was on the bridge, which has sev­ eral offsets in it for pedestrains to step out of the way of moving trains, I and as the train came by him he at- i tempted to board it and was jerked I under the wheels. One arm and leg j was horribly mangled and he re- i ceived an injury to his back. Medical assistance was procured but could do no good and he died in a few hours. Conference Divided.

THE CHARACTiia OF WILCOX. Mr. H .E. C. Bryant, staff corre­ spondent of the Cnarlotte Observer, who attended the trial, analyzes the character of Wilcox.thus: James Wilcox, the defendant, is a unique and mysterious character. I do not beheve his like is met with often ia a life time. He is runty-looking, cold­blooded and self-composed. From day to day he has sat here without emotion. He has appeared to be supremely bored with the slow process of law. He i3 the only man that I ever saw who could sit for several hours at a time and look at nothing. He gazes with appar­ ent satisfaction into space. He seems to take no interest in the people around him. It is said that the joy ol his former days came from catching and playing with snakes and collecting bird eggs. The shape of his head is half square and half round. There is a prominent knot behind. Wilcox must be a degen­erate, a man of low order of intellect and low ideals. He has a vicious dis­ position and a quick temper, all of which show very plainly in his face. of God help convict an innocent man. If I go outside of the evidence I do not want you to consider what is not right, fair and just. If you do not find Wilcox guilty from the evidence do not convict him. But we shall con­vince you. “What is the evidence in the case? AU authorities say that in 49 cases out of 100 there is water in the lungs where a person is drowned, in the other 51 the pleural cavities would contain water. There was none in either organ in this case. There was no bloody froth. The stomach was free from water and the right side of the heart from blood. None of the symptoms of drowning were found. I would rather believe what Drs. Wood and Fearing said about this case than Taylor or Reese or anybody else who was not here. Why did Dr. W. J. Lumsden fail to testify? it is not for me to say that he did not have the courage to face the examination from the books of medical jurispru­dence. I know this, that if he had not agreed to corroborate what the other doctors said about the death of the girl he would never have been subpoenaed here as a witness. Dr. Wood said that the girl was stunned by the. blow on the head and put in Uie water while in that condition. Tnat contusion or bruise on the left temlpe was made by a blow. It was full of fluid blood. If the blood had left the heart by exuding, as Mr Aydlett would liave you believe, why did it not go from that place on tho head?

Kirby of Texas, a successful worker for the South, in addition to stirring his hearers to activity n be­ half of their city and prophesying quite clearly the greatness of the South, and particularly of that portion of the South bordering upon »ne Gulf, dwelt upon the honor of work as a means to the fulfillment of the - prophecy, he said: “Wa have’determined to make the South the seat of busy industry, as well as the home of the most lovable hospitality that exists in the world. We are not only going to be planters and merchants, but we are going to be makers of all the products that come from our natural resources. We* are not only going to grow cotton and cane and rice and timber, but we are going to get the great advance in val­ue which comes through transforming these products of the soil into every conceivable form devised for the use of mankind. In this way we will keep idle hands busy, and if those who wish to do sometning for chancy, benevo­ lence and philanthropy will put their money into factories they will do man­ kind more good than in any other way.

The common sense which has made Mr. Kirby a leader in Texan prosperi­ ty crops out all through his speech, but it is nowhere more apparent than in the sentences quoted. But while it is true that practical philanthropy gives employment to two pairs of hands whore but one pair was employed be­fore, it may go a littie farther in pro­ viding the means whereby the new hands employed may be trained to do work to the best advantage. The South as a whole, does not lack unskilled la­bor. Here and there in the shifting of population consequent upon the in­ ception of developmental enterprises in Tiewf fields, a stringency of even un­ skilled help is felt. But that difficulty will be overcome in the natural order of things. Meanwhile there is an in­creasing demand for hands and heads trained to labor requiring more than ordinary skill or to direct'the mass oi every-day labor. This demand may be supplied only through the encourage­ment, either through legislative appro­ priations or through individual gen­ erosity on a practical basis for the en­ largement of the scope and equipment of the Southern institutions where young men, rid of the notion that honest work of any kind may be off­ color, are receiving technical educa­ tion. Several States are awakening to their responsibilities in this direction, notably Mississippi, which has recently been most liberal with its public funds toward its industrial institutions, and public sentiment seems certain to lead to similar legislation toy men of other States. The adoption by men of the South who have amassed independent fortunes of some such plan for the aid of Southern boys anxious to know how to work right, as that urged by the Manufacturers* Record, will not only increase the immediate facilities of ex­ isting institutions, but will go a long way toward the promotion of the much-needed public sentiment voiced by Mr. Kirby in his sctriking address. —Baltimore Manufacturers* Record. iiD riB Mr.?.

G ifts an d B equests of R ich ISuembers ol th e F a ir Sex. Women were, as usual, conspicu­ ously generous with gifts and bequests during 1901—the first year of the new* century. The record for charitable, educational and like purposes reaches approximately the sum of $18,000,000, or about $1,500,000 every month. Of the $15,000,000 given to colleges alone during the first six months of the year women contributed §6,000,000. It has been noted that, while men give more liberally to education, women contributed' chiefly to charity and re­ ligion. Her beautiful home in Virginia, 1,500 acres of land and. an endowment of §700,000 is a recent gift, by will, of Mrs. Indiana Williams for a girls’ school. Mrs. McCormick, of Chicago, continues her liberal gift9 to educa­ tion, and Miss Helen Gould contrib­ uted to the same cause most gener­ ously. Vassar College has been pre­ sented with scholarships as well as the New York University, the latter receiving a fund for perpetual endow­ ments. Miss Gould is also interested in Young Men’s Christian Associa­ tions, having erected buildings for several. Yale College has profited by the gsnerosity of several women. A valuable library, $100,000 to establish a Y. M. C. A. for the scientific school, and money to found a memorial fel­ lowship being among the important gifts. Libraries have profited to the extent of $1,000,000 by women’s gifts. In the realm of charity, gifts and be­ quests are recorded aggregating the splendid sum of $10,000,000. Rarely, if ever, has so much money been con­ tributed for charitable purposes as this year. XJpon Easter day aione in New York churches, nearly half a mil­ lion was placed on the alms basins at the different services, Grace church giving $167,500 of this amount. It is safe to say that women gave ofer half of this near half million dollars. At the triennial convention of the Epis­ copal church, held at San Francisco, in October, women gave $100,000 for missions, and pledged the further-sum- of $15,000 for a girls* sehool in China. One of the most notable gifts for hos­ pitals is that of Mrs. Collis P. Hunt­ ington, who has presented her beauti­ ful home in San Francisco to the city, to be converted into a hospital for women. The house cost a quarter of a million dollars and was used only about two months in the year by the Huntingtons.—Indianapolis News. E quine V engeance, A horse belonging to W. H. Bannard of Asbury Park recently evidenced ths human trait of revenge in Quite a re­ markable manner. The horse had pre­ viously been kicked while in his stall by another horse that had broken loose in the stable. A few days ago the horse that was kicked slipped its halter, walked past two other horses to the stall of the one that kicked it and paid the animal back in its own coin. The punishment inflicted in tha second instance was worse than In tie first, seventeen stiches being necessary to c’.ose up a cut mads by tte avenger’s shoe in its victim’s hindquaiters. 4W hat th e F a u lt W as. Br. Frank W. Allport, one of the leading oculists of Chicago, was re­ cently appointed examining physician by the board of education. A pupil from one of the schools where “fads” are more thoroughly in vogue than in almost any other public school, came to Dr. Allport in the regular course of events to have his eyes examined. The physician went through the usual for­ mula for discovering the defects of vis­ ion. He placed a chart before the boy. The first word was “hat.” “Now read this word/’ said the doctor. “Hhhuh- ah-tuhhk,” sputtered the boy. “Then try this,” said the doctor, pointing to “big.” “Buli-ih-guhhh,” stammered the boy. “Madam,” said the doctor to the boy’s mother, “there is some'more rericus defect here than a visual one. The vocal organs seem to be affected.” “Oh, no,” answered the mother, “he could spell and read quite well until he went to school and took up this new phonetic method.”—Nev/ York Times. W here W histling Zs Sin. The Arabs call whistling “the devil’s music,” and they consider it the most unlucky sound that can proceed from human lips. An old proverb of theirs is to the effect that after whistling, the mouth is not purified for, forty days. In maii/ other parts of the wor?** *'• similar idea prevails, in the Tonga is­ lands, for instance, where whistling is ’‘tabu,” and in Iceland, where the peasants strongly object to it, believ­ ing it to be a violation of the divine law. Whistling is quite unknown among the descendants of the Peru­ vian Incas. The Cornish miners are very super­ stitious, and they lay a ban on whist­ ling while underground. The old hands think it a fertile source of evil, and the young hand3 get many a “scat” on the head to bring them to the same opinion. W hen the sky is blue nobody else should be.
