MURDERED MILLIONAIRE RICE. The Object of the Crime Was to Oet Possession of the Old Han’s Valua- ble Estate. New York, Special.—Albert T. Pat rick, lawyer, was .convicted of the mift*- fler on September 23, 1900,“of the a§ed millionaire recluse, William Marsh Rice. The penalty under the statute is death in the electric chair.A scant three hours of deliberation at the close of a trial prolonged for nine weeks and replete with sensational in terest sufficed to.enable the jury to reach their verdict. The issue of the trial establishes .;the charge that Pat rick consipred with Mr. Rice’s valet, Charles F.?J!ones, to obtain possession of the aged Texan’s estate, estimated at . $7,000,000, and that Jones killed his employer by the administration of chloro form at the direct instigation of Pat rick. At the close of Recorder GofiTs Charge, which occupied the morning session of the court, the jury retired. This was at 1:?0 p. m. At 5:55 they no tified the officer in charge that they were ready to. return to court, rather more than an hour of the intervening time having been devoted to luncheon. In anticipation .of a scene of excitement In the event of* a verdict of guilty, the unusual step was taken of ordering .all women to leave the court room. Among them were the prisoner’s two sisters and Mrs. FfancislS with whom he boarded. ;With grave faces the members of the jury filed into “their places and some minutes of painful tension elapsed while messengers were endeavoring to find the counsel, who had de parted not expecting a Verdict for many hours. „ . Calm as ever and confidenceseemingly unshaken, the prisoner was escorted in the court room. He walked rapidly and took his stand facing the jury with.head erect, and hands loose ly clasped behind his back. At the word "guilty” pronounced by Foreman Machell, in a tone low. but distinct enough to be heard throughout the court not the slightest change passed over Patrick’s . face and he remained standing In almost^ listless attitude while the customary poll of the jury was being taken. His aged father. Captain Patrick, sitting near him, and ^training to catch the statement of the foreman, started for an instant as its import reached him. A smile of triumph lit up the face of Assistant District Attorney Osborne. Who hastened from the court immedi ately after the recorder had, at the request of tha.prisoner’s counsel, fixed on a week from Monday as the day on which to pronounce sentence. The ver dict was known almoIl -iiffniedifiCelyJn the corridor where thfc*wwnen.:relativ‘e§ and friends of the. prisoner were’ waiting, and a. Stenejtif* ek’eifefeent; dnsiied.

A fast freight on the Northeast ern Railroad is 6 feet under water and the crew is In danger of being swept away. Efforts to reach the train by boats have been -futile, owing to the swift current. Two relief parties start ed-to swim and wade streams, but noth ing has been heard from them since Thursday night*Water at Enterprise, 12 miles south, is rising at the rate of 18 inches an hour.

It Is Decided That The Government Shall Be Twrned Over to the Presi dent-Elect Hgy aoth. Washington, Special.—May 20, 1902, Is the new date fixed for turning over Cuba to Its people. The change of date was made, If not at the suggestion, then with the full approval of, President elect Palma and his advisers. Senators Tamana and Quesada, who were with him a tthe War Department Tuesday. This date should be a memorable one In Cuban history, for it will not only thark the acquisition of full independ ence, but will be the Cuban inaugura tion day, it having been determined that President Palma shall be inaugur ated on the samo day that the control of the island ceases. AU but the smallest details of the ex change has been planned, and these remaining details were under adjust ment at a meeting held at the War De partment today. Besides Secretary Root President Palma and Senatofs Tamaya 'and Quesada, General Wood attended. The meeting occurred in the Secreta ry’s office. Besides the final selection of May 20 as Cuban independence day. twd other important conclusions were reached. The first, was that General Wood should immediately, upon his re turn to Cuba, issue a call convening the first Cuban Congress on May 10, in order that the body might employ the ten days following that date In sup plying any legislation necessary to the assumption of full powers In the island. The other conclusion was that there" should be no half-way evacuation of the Island, but that the disposition is to move.the entire United States con tingent, civil and military, away from the island, not even leaving a corpor al’s guard of United States soldiers in any of the camps except in the defenses on the coast, which will bo garrisoned by United States troops. If this pro gram is not executed it will be for the sole reason that the Cubans themselves through their authorized officials re quest that the departure of the United States troops' be delayed for a time.

Suow if HigH Point, N. C., the pioneer in the Woodworking in** dustry of that city, reviewing Ite prog' ress during the past twenty-five years, shows that its population of 300 has grown to one of 6000, of whom 3000 are employed in nearly fifty establish ments, receiving about $8500 in weekly wages.. More than $2,000,000 .are invested in mills in machinery, and most of taht ’money has been accumulated from Industry -fit High Point* 3fce TYil- miongton Morning Star lidlds High Point to be a striking illustration of the benefits of manufacturing to a community, not only as a means of livlihood for direct employes, bqt also for supplies of raw material dnd food. It finds other illustrations in Greensboro, Charlotte and Fayetteville, and points the general moral that the rich est community is not the one which produces the greatest quantity of crude material . for Industry, but the one which converts that material into some useful article for which there is a de mand.At many points In the South the truth of this moral is being emphasized. the more significantly because of the long career of the South as a pro ducer of the raw material which has been manufactured in other sections, to their great gain. The South was gradually changing to a producer of more or less finished articles when war intervened, and it was not until 1880 and later that its proper pace was set That it. is coming ..into its * own is kffi unOz eueJs,aFJl 'cmfw emfw cinf demonstrated by the fact that while the value of manufactured products in the whole country increased 142 per cent, between 1880 and 1900, the value of manufactured products in the South increased in the same period 220 per cent. In the meantime the value of manufactured products in the Sogth has increased from 8 per cent, to Ii per cent, of the value of. manufactured products in the country/' That^fact, taken in connection with the obvious expansion of manufacturing in the South during the past ten years shows that much of the increase in its manufacturing has been but an increase in the first handling of material for more lucrative manufacturing elsewhere, for, with a population of 23,000,000, the South’s manufactured products in 1900 were valued at $1,466,000,000, while the rest of the country, with a population of 53,000,000, produced to the value of $11,574,000,000. Still, the South has the proper gait and the rise in recent years of new industrial centers in near ly every Southern State from West Virginia to Texas, and the enlargement of undertakings in older communities, with the manifest tendency toward diversification in manufacturing, indicate the determination of the South to use to the utmost all of its magnificent resources for its own enrichment and for the welfare of the whole country. —Manufacturers’ Record. Coolemee ilills Developing. Th© extensive cotton manufacturing enterprise of the Cooleemee Cotton Mills at Cooleemee, N. C., continues-to develop towards the ultimate size originally planned. Contracts have just been awarded for the erection of nine ty operatives’ cottages,and five officers' dwellings, which will be required for the additional employes soon to be needed. These employes will be re quired because of the additional 5000 spindles and 168 looms just contracted far, which latter will increase the full complement to 25,000 spindles and 800 looms. The betterments connected with the improvements will cost probably $100,000, the company’s capitalization already being $250,000. The enlarged plant will use about 1100 horse-power, more than half that available from the Cooleemee falls. Later on an electric- lighting and a sewerage system will be established, and a 75-barrel flour mill, recently equipped, is already being operated. E. W.

ShamtHdh, Pa., lution presented at# MOhdajre> sessio^ of the Convention of the United Workers of America by the npecm committee appointed Saturday madprovisional strike deelaraticn and t was unanimously adopted. After.M adoption President Mitchell made this S^ ‘oS^ofiveiitifln;ufidnimo^y adopt ed the recommendations sUbmittea W a special committee composed Ot tne district presidents aiid vice president and myself. Thfe resolution.refeites the Sorts made Ey thfe fem-esddtdLVra of the anthracite mine wdrkers to securfe a joint conference, add calls attention to the repeated violations of the Promises conveyed in tlieir notices, poste one yedr ago, as Well as their Jk 1Inr- to carry Out the verbal understanding reached with the representatives of tne coal carrying railroads last March. _“This resolution also calls attenucn to the WBge-scale which was drafted and unanimously adopted by the com ventioni the essential features of which are: A shorter work day, a minimum day wage scale, uniform increase in wages and the weighing of coal where the physical conditions of mining would make it practicable.“It further explains that upon inves tigation it is found that the average annual earnings of the anthracite mine workers ife considerably "less than in any other important American indus- try, while th© number of fatalities ana Injuries, in proportion to the number of persons employed, is more than any other industry.• “The resolution then declares that the mine workers caiinot with honor to themselves or in justice to those de pendent upon them, continue under the present low wages and indefinite con ditions of employment, and provides for a general suspension.. of work to take effect upon a date to be designated by the executive boards of districts I, 7 and 9.“It provides, however, that before re sorting to such drastic measures, and with a lingering hope for a peaceful solution of the perplexing problem, an appeal be made to the executive com mittee of the industrial department of the National Civic Federation. Should this federation refuse to act, or should they fail in their efforts to effect a- satisfactory adjustment prior to April I, and if, after that date, negotiations are still pending, all anthracite mine work ers except those necessary to keep the mines in .rqp,atr shall remain away from the vJniirius. strippings, washers and breakers on' Tuesdays, Thursdays and..Salurdays of each week. Should a strike take placo, no settlement will be made in any,Sepqrate district and will not terminate until it has been officially declared ended by a convention rep resenting the; three anthracite districts. The committee, to negotiate with the Civic Federation has not yet been ap pointed.” . Commenting on the action of the convention, President Mitchell said: “I am free to confess that a strike is imminent.” Unless the efforts of the Civic Fed eration arc effective with the coal op erators, it is more than likely that a repetition of the struggle of 1900 will occur in the anthracite region. In that year 140,000 employes of the anthracite mines- were out on a strike for six weeks. * A Strike at Lowell Seems Certain.

This extra work done by the cow is at the expense of the farmer, for the food consumed is partly utilized in the work. No pasture should be used until It is in good condition, and if deficient in grass then the cows must also be fed. One difficulty is that, as cows will seek green food, they will travel over the pasture even when fed, but not so much so as when given extra food. A poor xiasture is consequently of no value, and it is better to keep the cows in the barnyard than to turn them out to work all day. 't r ‘ "?;**• U n tterm ilk F o r H ogst At the Wisconsin Experiment Sta tion the writer some years ago1 con ducted nineteen different feed trials with cornmeal and skim .milk in va- rious proportions to determine the rela tive feeding value of the two sub stances. "It was found that five pounds of skim milk were worth one pound of cornmeal for feeding, growing and fat tening hogs. For fattening swine good wheat middlings are worth about ten per cent, more than corn. The Massa chusetts Experiment Station has shown that buttermilk is worth as much as skim milk for feeding pigs. From these data it will not take your readers long to ascertain that twenty- five per cent, is too high a price to pay for buttermilk so long as they can get good heavy middlings for $12 a ton.— AV.

This ought to he near a good market, but cannot always be—that is, without paying too high for it. AU extra ex penses should be curtailed in this busi ness, as the income comes in small amounts. After a location is settled upon a free range is a necessity. That give3 the needed exercise, and prevents an accumulation of lice. The next thing is an adaptability to the busi ness. If one cannot be.content with small earnings, and cannot save them as they come iu, he should not under take the business. The poultry should bo breeds that lay in winter, when eggs are high, if or.e breeds fowls for the eggs. This branch of the business I like best.

On the farm, too, the same rule controls. The modern binders have superseded the old, slow methods of the harvest, and made the great grain fields a possibility. To the effective use of machinery on the farm is due the great exporting capacity of the country, aud In every avocation, in life it Is the man behind the machine that is moving civilization forward. Brain power is taking the place of human muscle, and the result is an ele vation of the farmer to a higher plane; requiring the application of business methods to agriculture. The inevita ble tendency of the increased, use of machinery on the farm is the increase in acreage in the hands of one man. since the machines make extensive cul ture possible over larger areas.

B, .Koons, in American Agriculturist. A F nngous D isease o f C urrant B ushes. During the last season the currant crop in the Hudson Valley has been se riously injured by a disease causing the appearance of numerous small dark brown spots on the leaves, which turn, yellow and fall prematurely. Currant canes -were quite generally de foliated early in the season, and the Consequent exposure of the ripening fruit to the sun brought about sun scald, resulting in heavy loss. This trouble with currants has been made the subject of a recently issued bulletin (No. 199) of the New York Agricultural Experiment Station, at Geneva. It is a fungous disease which attacks the leaves, - leaf stalks, fruit, fruit stems and canes, and is’ called anthracnose. In New York State it is present among currants almost every season, but there is no record of its de structive occurrence since 18S9. Al though it sometimes attacks also goose berries and black currants, It has not injured them in the same locality where red currants have been seriously damaged by it. Anthracnose may be readily distinguished from the ordin ary leaf spot by the smaller size of the spots. The w.eathcr conditions last spring seem to have been particularly favora ble to it, but judging from the past his tory of the disease it Is not likely to become a constant pest. Probably it will become epidemic only occasion ally. In order to prevent these occasional destructive outbreaks of anthrac-uose, and also the common leaf spot, cheek the ravages Cf eane blight and keep currant worms under control, it is rec ommended that currant growers in the Hudson Valley spray with Bordeaux mixture every season, making the first application before growth starts, the second .as the leaves are unfolding aud thereafter at intervals of ten or four teen days until the fruit is two-thirds grown. In wet seasons make one or two applications after the fruit is gath ered. Whenever worms appear add paris green or green arsenoid to the Bordeaux. F rn n iu g an d T rain in g F rn lt Trees. In giving young orchard trees a start early and systematic pruning and train ing are necessary for the best develop ment. The future thrift and produc tion of the trees depend a good deal upon how they are shaped when young. The trees will naturally shoot upward in one straight large trunk, becoming ungainly in appearance and unadapted to producing large crops. The heads must consequently be cut off early. Nurserymen often make the mistake of permitting their trees to grow this Way, and when transplanted their ■growth - must be checked by severe !cutting back. -Select rather the shorter 'growth, with branches equally devel- oped. Such trees will require no se vere pruning, and the growth will not be thus suddenly cheeked. The young trees need training from the start. The shaping can begin by pinching back the buds, so that the trunk will get stocky and thrifty. All fruit trees do better for this early pinching back, and if it is systemati cally followed there will be little act ual, pruning required later. Severe pruning is ' intended chiefly for un trained trees, and as 'a result 'tl)cy never quite get the growth.that tliey should. When first ordered from the nursery fruit trees used to be trimmed back by cutting off .their heads and longest branches. This tends to start root growth more than If unpruned. The main thlng is to get the roots well established after transplanting, and everything else, must be sacrificed to this if necessary. ECowevef, trees that are properly planted,-- and with the roots uninjured, should quickly estab lish root growth, and become'thrifty in their.development. After that they need careful pruning twice a year. This should take place in the fall and spring. The work performed twice a year will consequently be so small that no great- harm; will be done to the trees. Severe prpning at one time certainly injures the growth of any tree; Let it be done by degrees. Shape the tree so that it will have a good form and a full head, with the inside not too full of branches that will prevent the sunlight and air reaching every part of it. In apple/"trees the tendency is for the the spreading branches to be too low. ThiSijs not. wise, for' the reason that thb fiainbs then never get the air which theytheed. Let the lowest branches be a.", respectable distance above the grouifd, fully as high as the top of the .head, and then let them spread and fill M t. yKeep the top a little above the sides,! But -not too high, and guard against a tall, spindling tree which makes ,hard picking and poor produc ing. — 8.' W. .Chambers, in American Cultivator.

One hundred dollars is the price of the average baby’s wardrobe. A lay ette that was bought in Paris recently cost $3000, and there is a society of charitable ladies that finds it possible for $10 to make up a perfectly ade quate wardrobe for babies with whom dress is not a matter of supreme mo ment; yet the average mother who does her duty by her infant is obligefi to spend not less than $100 on a nice layette, inclusive of the basket and bath tub, as well as the bibs. This seeming extravagance is due to a tra- dition that babies shall be dressed in hand-made clothes and it is the ex penses of the hand work that makes baby clothes so costly. The hundred- dollar outfit does not include tucks, real lace or embroidery, but it does in clude a thoroughly comfortable though a far more limited, trouseeau than mothers used to think necessary. Dresses, gowns, bands and caps by the dozen are no longer hoarded up against baby’s arrival, and the old es timate for a complete" layette is cut down by half, while of. that half the major portion is made on improved patterns. The clothes have bhen great ly reduced in bulk, and what the baby evidently appreciates most is that they are arranged to slip off. and on with the least possible trouble. Nearly all the flannel used in the modern infant’s clothes is of the new variety that is" guaranteed against shrinkage by a ju dicious interweaving of cotton: the bands that are bound first about their bodies are merely pinked at the edges instead of being broadly hemmed;'and by day a gertrude and by night a pin ning blanket take the place of the clumsy flannel petticoats. A gertrude is a nice little flannel slip that goes next after the short, woven undervest and the body band. It is sleeveless and low necked, and fastens on the shoulders, so that -when it is to be adjusted or removed a hand slipped under the wrapper or night gown un fastens it, and the garment is drawn down and off without the least difficul ty. At night the pinning blanket takes the place of the gertrude, - and is as easily extracted, should need arise, and in the laudable effort to reduce the superfluous weight of clothing, hems are, if possible, done away with every where. The skirts of tlie best made garments are completed by buttonholed scallops, and even the pinning blanket, which is split open all the way down the side and folded up and pinned back at night, so as to hold the lower part of the body in a sort of capacious flan nel sack, is scalloped and buttonholed on all its edges. At the big shops where infant sup plies have an extensive department all to themselves the most charming pal- rnetto traveling baskets are sold. These baskets are square and made wholly of bleached palmetto woven upon a framework of tough light wood. In side fit two trays and yet there is space enough for packing every stitch of the Tayetto and the baby’s toilet ar ticles beside: Two stout brass locks hold the lid fast, and when in actual traveling service the basket wears a slip cover of white canvas reinforced and bound with white, wash leather. The top tray of this basket is lined with blue sateen, covered with white muslin ruffled with Valenciennes, and into pockets and under flaps and straps ilt all the blue celluloid toilet articles. Last, but nowadays not least, in the Important items of an infant’s outfit- are. the white Turkish towelling or flannel overalls that the nurse or moth er puts on when bathing the baby.

The chaper on is, however, according to her, to a considerable extent freeing herself from many of the duties at one time considered incumbent upon her.

They desire the happy hours to run on greased wheels and like to know that some one is pres ent who bolds in her capable hands judgment, sympathy and responsibil ity.

It Attacks Many Persons There. To illustrate how coffee pan ef fect the eyes the words of a lady in AVoodland, la. are quoted. “I was'brought up to believe that tea was injurious but was al lowed to drink coffee from child, hood. Ever since I can remember I have been subject to severe at tacks of headache, otherwise my health was pretty good until a short time ago my eyes became af fected; they ached and pained me continually and were often badly inflamed. I also had queer, dizzy feelings in my head almost contin ually. One time we were obliged to do without milk .or cream for a few weeks, and not relishing my coffee clear I left oft its use. In a short time I was surprised to find my eyes greatly improved, and I felt better in every way, still I did not mistrust the coffee, and began its use as soon as we got cream again. AYithin a few days my eyes were worse than ever. Then I resolved to quit coffee absolutely and take up Postum. This I did and my eyes quickly recovered. Myexpe- rience shows that while coffee caused headache and eye trouble Postum Food Coffee does not pro duce any bad effects whatever and is greatly strengthening and nour ishing,” Kame given by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich. A Substantial Fact. AY. R, Clark, Pickaway, Virgin ia, says: I have for several years been using Ramon's Ifills in my family with most satisfactory re sults, and do not hesitate to recom mend them to my customers as su perior to any of the various kinds kept in stock* Kot only are yonr pills reliable but Ramon’s Relief and Kerve and Bone Oil are the most satisfactory remedies I ever handled, add if they were more generally used, they wonld often make the Doctor’s bill only 25c, instead of $2.00. These goods need no dusting in my stock because they aie constantly coming in and agoing out—are Trade AYinncra and trade Keepers.. These good qualities are not a theory but a substantial fact.

The other day a well kuown rounder, somewhat the worse for a discolored eye, walked into a down town barroom, where he met a number of his fiiends. •‘Hello Jim,” exclaimed one of the men at the bar, “what’s the matter with your eyet. Been get ting into trouble? “Oh, no,” replied the man, “that’s a birthmark.” “ A-birthmark I” said the first speaker, in surprise; you did not have it a few days ago.

PARTIES TO COMBINE Eight Organizations Band Together ForMutoaI Opposition REFORM FORCES COME TOGETREIt Delegates Must Subscribe to the Ini tiative and Referendum — General Organization, Louisville, SpeciaL-The movement for the formation of an allied 'party comprising adherents of all parties op posed to the Republicans and Demo crats or as the call for the meeting started "a union of the reform forces against plutocracy,” took definite shape Wednesday afternoon when a conven tion attended by about 200 delegates, representing eight States, and as many different parties, was called to order In this city. The work today was of a preliminary nature, a temporary, organ ization being effected and committees appointed to prepare for the perma nent organization. The convention ad journed at 4:30 o’clock this afternoon to meet again tomorrow morning. Rev. Senator Gill, of Indiana, offer ed prayer, after which Dr. Joseph E. Chambers, of St. Louis, outlined the purposes of the convention. He urged that a party be formed with a plat form broad enough for all to stand on. Not only were the politicians concern ed, he said, but the great common peo ple and the financiers of Wall street were greatly interested. He compared the meeting with the Continental Con gress in Philadelphia.' He urged that all little differences should be thrown aside and said that, while he. advocat ed a platform of few planks, he wanted every one to be strong enough to hold all humanity. Chairman Parker, of the national Populist committee, read the call for the meeting, after which he read the agreement reached by the conference at Kansas City last June, when the mast ing in this city was provided for. This agreement stated that delegates to be entitled to seats in the convention must subscribe to the initiative and re ferendum and the imperative mandate, the public ownership of all publis util ities; the land, including .^ll natural resources shall not be monopolized for speculative purposes and alien own ership shall be prohibited; that all lands now held by corporations, In ex cess of natural needs, or held by aliens, Bhaii be reclaimed and held for actual settlers: in scientific money based upon the wealth of the people of the nation and not redeemable in any specific commodity, but to be full tender for all debts, public or private, to be. used by the government only and without in tervention of banking sufficient in quantity.Col. Milton Parks, of San .Antonio, Texas, said that while he was with any party opposed to the Democrats or Republicans and would even* unite with Emma Goldman or Herr Most to defeat the common enemy, he wanted it un derstood that he was not willing to surrender the principles of the People’s party.

Before leaving the subject Senator Simmcns recited some of the facts which had led the President to withdraw the nomination of Mr. Mnllen after the agreement to re-ap- polnt !lira. The chairman of the com mittee, Senator Mason, of Illinois, di rected the secretary of fho committee to secure thfe papers In the case with out unnecessary delay. Blow <o Texas Antl-Trust Law.

A RAM’S HORN BLASTS- UNCROWNED ENGLISH QUEENS. Ko Bess T han Seven D ave M issed tiid ItXdnbr 6 r a Coronation.' As a rule, most liiiislisih oueens have been solemnly crowned, whether they reigned in their own right or as wives of royal Kiisbands; To. this riiie, how ever, there are seVeli exceptions.- . The first was Margaret of Fraficdi the young- plain/ amiable second wife .of Edward I. He Iiad Speiit so much money in conquering Wdles and in trying to conquer Scotland that he could not afford the expenses of a coronation for his girl bride, and she had to do without the splendors of the pageant. 4 King Henry VIII took care that Annd Sfileyn should be crowned with extreme inagnifiCencfi.- He desired to show the world how much fee loved her and how very much he defied the bishop of itome; The four wives who succeeded her were never crowned at alL FOr one thingj mcney ran short, and, for' an other,- there may have lurked, even in his masterful inind; a sense of the “fitness of things,’’ which may have caused him to shrink from publicly crowning so many ladies in such very rapid succession. 0 At any rate the. beloved Jane Sey mour, the despised Anue of Ol&ves, the girlish Catherine Howard and the wary Catherine Parr were never con secrated in public as queen-consorts of England, I Henrietta Maria,- Wife of Charles I, J refused to be crowned. She was i young, she was pretty, she was a j French princess, and she declined to i take part in a state-function, which j would compel her to partake of the ' sacrament according to church of ; England rites. j Sophia Dorothea of Zell cannot be j reckoned among the. seven, because ; she was never called queen ox Eng- : land at alL While George I was be* j ing crowned, and annointed, and— j bored, the lady of Ahlden was pining In her long, monotonous captivity. Caroline of Brunswick is the last, ahd most remarkable instance of the uncrowned English queens. Though George IV had been forced from popu lar indignation to give up the bill of pains and penalties against her, noth ing would induce him to let her share his coronation. She was not permitted to be present in Westminster Abbey at alJ. Repulsed from all the entrances, she returned to her house, to die within three weeks of a violent fever, brought on by months of fearful ex citement.—Lady’s Pictorial. LEATHER EURNING AN ART.

At various times during the last de cade attempts have been made to popu larize the burning of leather as a fine art. The attempts have not besr. a success, as only in rare instances have the artists been able to produce satis factory results. Perhaps nothing is more unconvinc ing to the plain citizen than the fu rious efforts made by the leather-burn ing enthusiasts to convince him that this or that example of amateur work is really artistic. Some light on the reasons why the burning of leather has not been more generally successful was thrown on the situation the other day by a man Vfho has seemingly perfected the burn ing of leather in commercial purposes. “I had the greatest difficulty in pro ducing satisfactory results,” said this man as he stood beside the grirny little furnace in. his stx-by-nine workroom, "untii I stumbled on the solution, in ex perimenting with chemicals for the proper treatment of the leather. Be fore that I never could obtain regular ity* in my work. The proper degree of heat in the irons, which would give the best results with one quality of •leather, failed utterly on ether pieces, and either caused too deep a burning, or failed to make enough impression at the first application. The letters came out unevenly and looked ragged. So I took two years off and studied the effects of chemicals on the leather. “I found the secret at last. It is my secret. I don’t propose telling any one anything about it. I don’t have an assistant. I do all the work my self, at least all the treatment of the leather. But I will say that it is as simple as the traditional ‘rolling off a log* when you know it. “The firms who wished to have leath er articles burned Wfire chary of me at first hut when I had convinced them that I knew the methods which would produce really seemly effects, they took hold enthusiastically.

" Dear Mrs. P inkham : — For several years after my last child tvas bom I felt a peculiar weakness, such as I never had experienced before, with severe pains in the ovaries and frequent headaches. “ I tried the doctor's medicines and found it money worse than wasted. A friend who had been cured through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham ’s Vegetable Compound advised me to try it. I did so, also your Sanative Wash, and I must say I never experienced such relief before. Within six weeks I was like another woman. I felt young and strong and happy once more. “ This is several years ago, but Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is my only medicine.

JSyeuMr Kluttz, in Washington, I making himself very conspic- UOUS in his efforts to have the Civ il Serricc Department investigate it. Sow if Mr. Pope has violated , n y law let it be enforced against him, but the Democrats are the !.BtVople in the world t0 k io t on ( .cb matters. IVe are acquainted with the wordings, to a certain extent, of hofr parties, about campaign con tributions. DuringMr. Cleveland's last term, tribute was levied on yrii and low officials by both coun- tv°an(l state committe JS. We saw letters written, and yon were call- #1 on to send in so ranch for the Countv, and a certain per cent ol vour Salary to the State Chair, man. Sow if our Democratic friands are so righteous along this line, it shows that they have been converted since Mr. Cleveland was President. No, it is hot conver sion, they don't hold the Federal offices, and can not collect from •them, that’s what’s the matter, some ol our Democratic friends are alleging that this fund is to be used to pay the Negros poll tax and thus we see other evidence of the intention of onr Democratic friends to inject the negro into the coming campaign as an issue. No, our friends can rest easy- on that score, Republicans are not as big fools as the men who write such rot. It takes money to run a campaign and Republicans have as much right to collect and use it legiti mstelyas have Democrats. Be cause the Post Master at Madison showed his weaknoss, and that he was influenced by Demoerats to take the course he did in this mat ter, is no reason why our friends should continue to have spasms. The Democrats will do a lot of worse things than collecting cam' paign funds before the November election. Drowning men catch at straws, “physician heal thy SELF. in the press thaton Thursdaywhen Mr. Aydlett, of counsel for Wil cox, rose to address the jury, as many as three hundred people as a manifestation of their dis approval, leftthe court room. If this was not done to influence or intimidate the jury, then what prompted such unseemly conduct! North Carolina has reached the saddest day in it history if the mob spirit is permitted to grow; and it behooves the' conservative, serious minded, law-abiding ele ment to take a firm stand and cry aloud “Hold, enough.” Can we expect or hope to build up our State along industrial lines if foreign capitalists have a fear that law and order are a mockery! Will they come among us if such a situation prevails I The Landmark correspondent stated also that feeling and excite ment were so high that there were rumors if the jury acquitted Wil cox that it would have been very “unpleasant for them hereabouts.’ Couldevidence of intimidation be strongeri! The writer is not pleading for Wilcox, but for jus tice, law and order, and the pres ervation of the good name of the State. Snch conduct as characterized this famous trial is a blot on the State’s fair .escutcheon. We may cry “Out, out-, damned spot!” but it will not “out” ; and it therefore behooves the conservative men to throw themselves Into the breach and rescue the fair name of the State. Within recent months I was dis cussing the rapid developement of the South along industrial lines with a wealthy . Northern friend, and I expressed surprise that more Northern capital did not come South for investment, in view of the fact that- manufacturing enter prises here pay better dividends that' in other sections. His reply to me was “Lynchings!” Disguise it or apologise for it or condone it as we may, the fact re mains that statistics prove that only 25 per cent of the lynchings occur for the nameless crime. These are ugly facts, but the people should know them; they alone have the power to administer the corrective.

SUrtIlng Hanifestations During the Wilcox Trial. To the Editor of The Poit. Esving read, in detail, the pro ceedings of the trial of Wilcox, sinprompted to write this article, with a few observations respecting the same. In reading the account of the trial in the Norfolk (Va,) Land- niark, of Saturday, I find the fol lowing startling statement from the representative of that, enter prising journal: “There was a secret movement put on foot late tonight by deter mined parties to go to the jury room and demand a verdict at once. Ifthejury refused, the mob would take the law in their own hands. iThere were cool heads that got the wind of the plot and saved untold trouble and bloodshed.” IThither are we drifting! To ward anarchy and destruction! Such signs, indeed, have porten- iuons meaning. Has it come to the pass that in conservative old Uorth Carolina we have reached the point when reason and justice Ho longer control men’s actions! ■hre our juries to be intimidated in s»ch manner as described above, aOd is such outrageous conduct to escape Jhe general condemnation f*hich it deserves! ft Fsv pnhftti&d- g p m m ty SCHOOL BOOKS. Raleigh, March 12, 1902, To County Superintendents— Iencloseaprinted listof bookB adopted for use iu the public schools by the State Text-Book Commission and of prices and ex change prices of these books. I de sire to call attention to the fact that the use of these books in the public schools will be com pulsory, under the law after July 1,1902, and that, if old books now in use arc not exchanged before that time, the exchange prices, ac cording to the contract entered in to with the publishers by the StateText-Book Commission, can not be taken advantage of by pa trons of the publie schools. I wish to urge you, therefore, to send written official notice to . all the teachers in your county urging them to notify all children and pa trons of theii schools, and to give notice to all the people of your county through your county pa per. urging them to take advan- age of these exchange prices be fore July 1,1902. If the patrons of the public schools fail to avail themselves of these low exchange prices before the beginning of the next school year, they will find themselves under the hard n- sity of being compelled to buy new books at the full price, and their old books will be left as useless properly on their hands. This would mean, of course, a great loss to the people of the State and a decided gain to the publishers Any book that has been used or conld have been used by any child in the public schools of North Carolina before July 1,1902, may be exchanged for a new book of like grade upon the same subject at the price quoted.

Its work is done gradually, that is, the poi son affects the nerve centers a lit tle to-day' and a little. to-morrow and so on, and finally the nerve cells are slowly broken down and then nature begins the call for help. It is a safe proposition that if a man or woman has headache, atom ach trouble, or any- such ailments come on at inter vals, something is wrong with the food or drink, and and this question should be inves tigated carefully, for health is the best capital anyone can possess and wilfnlly breaking it down is a piece of childish folly. It is easy to leave off coffee if one will take Postum Food Coffee, properly made, for Postum has a delicious coffee flavor and a deep seal brown when cream is added, and it satisfies the coffee drinker without any of the bad effects of coffee; on the contrary, the result of UBing Postum is the rebuilding of the broken down nerve centers by the food elements contained in it Postum is a pure food beverage made by scientific food makers and can be depended upon absolutely for its purity and the good results that follow its use. To bring out the flavor and food value Postum must be boiled at least 15 minutes after the boiling begins.

CASE IS PRONOUNCED HOPELESS Few Hen Have Won Higher Fame in the PuIpltor on the Platform— His Death is Near. ■Washington, Special.—Rev. Pr. rT. DeWit Talmage, the noted Presbyter ian divine, is slowly dying at his resi dence in this city. His physicians con cede that they can now see no hope for his recovery and that he is steadily growing worse. He has been uncon scious for two days. According to the 11 o’clock statement of the physicians, there was no marked change in the condition of Dr. Talmage Friday night. If anything he was resting a trifle easier with the pulse a little more re gular and less favorable. His condition however, is very critical and every hour which the present alarming symptoms continue lessens the chances of life. Race FJght In New York. New York, Special.—Negroes and whites clashed Friday night in the heart of the Tenderloin district and as a result some 12 or 15 of the former were badly beaten up. The cause of this small-sized race riot was the shooting of Holmes Easley, a young negro, by a bicycle policeman. Easley had some trouble in the neighborhood and was pursued by a crowd. He drew a razor and threatened a policeman who tried to arrest him. The officer drew his revolver. Easley ran and the policeman shot him, the bullet lodg ing in the negro’s leg. A crowd of negroes gathered and threatened the policeman, but they were dispersed by a squad of officers. The wounded negro was removed to a hospital, but for some time afterward there were clashes between negroes and whites on the sur rounding streets. No more serious in juries were reported.

The Scranton (Pa.) street cai strike and boycott which have been going on for six months have been ended. “Will” Reynolds, a negro desperado, at Tuscumuia, Ala., killed three men and wounded four others before he was riddled with bullets and his body burned.

Griffin, Ga., Special.—A northbound passeuger train on the Central of Geo- gia Railroad ran into an open switch, half a mile below this city, colliding with a string of freight cars standing on the side track. None of the passen gers were injured, but Engineer Ramsay and Fireman Green, of the passenger train were painfully hurt The engine of the passenger train was par tially demolished, and several freight cars wrecked. Traffic was blocked for two and a half hours. Trains Wrecked and Burned. Cheraw, S. C., Special.—Freight trains Nos. 22 and 52 on the Seaboard Air Line, running north from Colum bia, had a rear-end collision on a very heavy grade near McBee, twenty miles from here. Train No. 22 came rushing down hill at a high rate of speed and clashed into No. 52, which had stopped to fix a pin which had dropped from one of the cars. Train No. 22 was a total wreck and a fire destroyed Favorable to Park Reservation. Washington, Special.—Representa tive Moody, of North Carolina, report ed from the House committee on agri culture the bill establishing a National Forest Reserve in the mountain forest regions of Virginia, West Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. The bill car ries an appropriation of $10,000,000, of which $2,000,000 is immediately avail able. The report sets forth the need of preserving this region and argues that the national government is the only power to conduct a work of this magnitude. Drove Nail Into Husband’s Head. Wellington, Kans., Special.—In Grant county, Oklahoma, just across the line from here, Mrs. Peoples, a Bohemian, is reported to have killed her husband by driving a nail into his head. Peoples, a farmer, went home drunk, beat his wife and. afterward ordered her to get his supper and went to sleep with his head leaning against pine partition. When supper was ready the woman tried to awaken him but failed. Fearing that he would beat her again when he awoke for not calling him, she drove a nail through from the other side of the partition in the man’s head, killing him. She made no attempt to escape. Declined to Remove Boycott. Norfolk, Special.—By a vote of 16 to 14 the Central-Labor ITaion of this city have declined to remove the boycott against the Norfolk Railway and Light Company which has been on since March I. This means that the fight will be continued indefinitely. The cars are running on schedule time and Are experiencing no incovenience. NORTH CAFO.INA CROP BULLETIN. Review of Conditions at the Opening of the 5easo<t The winter of 1901-02 was extremely cold, not by reason of .unusually low minimum temperatures, but in consequence of steady daily deficien cies in temperature, and the entire absence of the usual periods of warm weather during more than four months. The deficiency in mean temperature. for the entire area of Nordi Carolina for the period from Novem ber 1st to February 28th was nearly 18 degrees Fahr..October, November, and January were also very dry, while the rainfall of December and February was very excessive. The early beginning of winter, and the drought during Octo ber and November, 1901, delayed the seeding of winter wheat, rye, and oats, which work was further inter rupted by heavy precipitation in December. Nearly all the cereals were seeded much later than usual, and the unfavorable weather conditions caused slow and imperfect germina tion of seeds, which were not stimu lated by warmth or protected by covering of .snow. Reports generally in dicate, therefore, that a very large portion of the winter grain crops, especially oats, was killed, and that the stands secured are very popor, although this somewhat counterbal anced by the increased acreage. As regards the small grain crops condi tions are worse than last year. The following brief summaries for the first three months of the year confirm the impression of unfavorable prospects for the cereals this season: 'January.—The weather conditions were very unfavorable for winter wheat, oats, and rye. The almost com plete absence of precipitation during the two first decades, with generally clear skies and bright sunshine, while agreeable for * personal activity and health, proved very injurious for grain which was prevented from germinating. What had previously ger minated was checked in growth and spreading prevented. Late sown wheat and oats were also caught by freezing weather shortly after germinating and killed. Fall oats suffered most from untoward conditions, while rye was not materially injured. February.—Very little farm work of any kind was accomplished during February. The condition of the cereals could hardly be estimated on account of the slight signs of growth above ground, but all reports were unfavor able, and indicated extremely backward condition of both winter wheat and oats. While much grain was killed, it is thought that the roots of much of the crop retain sufficient vitality to give a moderate stand when growth starts. The snow which remained on the ground over the chief winter-grain districts for more thao a week, from February 15th to 22d, and the abundant moisture at the close of the month is thought to have been of much benefit. Excessive rains February 27th and 28th west of the Blue Ridge were very injurious to agricultural Interests, aside from the immense damage to property by the floods; farm lands were badly washed, some crops swept away; plowing was generally delayed, interrupting pre liminary preparations for the crop season. March.—On the whole March was nearly normal in temperature and was quite dry. There was only one severe cold wave,, which culminated in the lowest temperatures for the month on the 19th, but vegetation and crops were nowhere sufficiently advanced to be injured, except truck crops in the eastern part of the State which generally received adequate protection. The loss from the freeze, therefore, was comparatively slight. Open weather during this month gave an impetus to farm work; plowing began actively and much was accomplished. Some upland corn was sown, gardens were prepared, irish potatoes and truck crops were planted, tobacco beds seeded. Wheat improved considerably in consequence of warmer weather, and began to show green; although stands are generally poor, they are not bad enough, excepting in few instances , to justify plowing up for other crops. Winter oats, on the other hand, are extremely inferior, and cn that account a larger crop of spring oats has been seeded. The outlook for truck crops and strawberries in the important trucking section of eastern North Carolina is bright; in fact weather conditions this spring have been far better than last year, and tne yield of vegetables and fruit bids fair to be heavy and of excellent quality. At the close of March many fruit trees, chiefly peaches, plums, cherries, and pears were in full bloom with good prospects for $ full crop. Farm work and preparations for the coming season are far in advance of last year, though still somewhat behind the average, especially in the western part of the State. Reports of crop correspondents for the week ending Monday, April 7. 1902, indicate that conditions were not favorable during the past week on ac count of very cold and windy weather. The temperature averaged over 6 degrees daily below the normal and heavy frosts were general on several mornings. Showers occurred on the 4th which were small in amount and not injurious. Except in several west ern counties where it is still too wet, Uie condition of the soil is favorable for plowing, though it is too cool for the germination of seeds. While sev eral correspondents state that peaches were killed by frost, the concensus of opinion is that fruit of all kinds generally escaped without serious injury, and the loss to strawberry and uTick crops was relatively quite small. Flowing made excellent progress dur- mg the week in eastern and central portions, but farm work Is still a week to ten days later than tne aver age, perhaps more In the extreme west. Land for- cotton and corn is being prepared, and planting corn on uplands has made some headway. To bacco plants in beds are small, but growing, though checked by cool weather. Truck crops are somewhat late, though shipments of radishes and lettuce have already been made; peas and Irish potatoes are up in many places; tomato and cabbage plants were^ injured by the cold, necessitat- mg_s£C6nd setting. Spring oats are uo anfi teok well, Name Withheld.

PRESIDENT ARRIVES Mr. RiooseveIl and Party Reach the Exposition RECEIVED A ROYAL WELCOME Entertained at a Banquet, Where the President Hade a Highly Appropri ate Speech. The President's train reached Char leston at 9:30 a. m., on timfc. The party did not come into the city, but left the train five miles out, where trolley cars were waiting to convey them to the naval station, to take the revenue cutter for a tour of the harbor The President's immediate party went directly to the naval station, where they were joined In a few moments by members of the reception committee and invited guests In the city. A guard of 30 militiamen was stationed about the landing and stood at “present arms” as the President landed. At the naval station 50 men of the militia were posted maintaining the lines around the re servation and none was allowed within the lines except such as had passes. The President and his party were shown about the station and then were con ducted to the pier, where the revenue cutter Algonquin was in waiting. As the President set foot on the deck the flag of the commander-in-chief of the army and* navy was raised, and the jackies were paraded while a salute of 21 guns was fired. In the stream the cutters Forward and Hamilton were lying, and further down toward the city were the cruiser Cincinnati and training ships Topeka and Lancaster. After the committee and guests had gone aboard, the Algonquin started on a tour of the harbor. Passing down Cooper river .a fine view of the city and the opening of the bay was presented. The weather was perfect. There was not a cloud in the sky and a gentle breeze blew from the ocean with just a bracing touch in it, not chill enough in it to require overcoats. Passing into the bay the Algonquin came abreast of the cruiser Cincinnati, whose decks were •manned with her crew as well as the Topeka and Lancaster. As the Presi dent’s vessel passed each ship a salute of 21 guns was fired: Off the fortifications of Sullivan Island the Algonquin was greeted with the same welcome tnd she passed out to the ocean with gay streamers amid a chorus of guns. Just a little run to the sea and the Al gonquin turned about and re-entered the harbor, passing around historic Fort Sumter. While steaming up the bay luncheon was served in the cabin of the cutter. A short , run was made ip the Ashley river giving a view of the western water front and then the ship was headed back for the landing, where a troop of the Charleston Light Dra goons was in waiting to escort the President to his headquarters at the St Tohn Hotel. AU the arrangements were excellent and there was not a break In the programme. The President seemed In good spirits and entered with keen sest into all the features of the occasion. The banquet tendered to President Roosevelt at night at the Charleston Hotel was a fitting close to a day full of incidents and served to gather to gether men prominent in the affairs of the State, having solely in mind a greeting to the President which would prove the sincerity and the warmth of feeling existing for him as the Chief Executive of the nation. The banquet hall was a bower of roses, pinks and smilax, artistically arranged, while loosely strewn over the tables were thousands of violets, whose fragrance could only but suggest that spring time had arrived. Over 300 specially invited guests were present and the President was at his best. In a few well-chosen remarks, Mayor Smyth welcomed President Roosevelt to Charleston, whose response was listened to with the closest attention and which was interrupted by loud and continuous applause. The President’s remarks were as fol lows “Mr. Mayor and You, My Hosts and My Fellow-Citizens (great applause: I should indeed be but a poor American myself if I were not deeply touched and gratified by the way you have greeted me today in this, vour beautiful city, and of course I fee! at home here. (Applause.) I think that an American who is worth his salt has the right to feel at home in any part of the TTnited States. (Applause.) Around this table I see many men who took part in the great war. The war In which the younger among us here took part was a very little one because It did not have to be any bigger. (Applause.) But it had one thoroughly good effect—it put' the cap on the structure that had been building, while we were almost unconscious of it; and It taught us how thoroughly a one we were. When we got through with that war it did not make a bit of difference to us whether it was an admiral who came from Vermont or a lieutenant who came from Alabama (applause), if the man had done his duty in such shape as to make us each feel an even more generous thrill of pride in our common nationality. The debt that we owed him had little to do with the sec tion from which he came. (Applause.) “And now a special word to you of Charleston and of South Carolina. Just .twelve years ago, when I first went to Washington to take part in governmental work I was immediately thrown into singularly close contact and in timacy with a South Carolinian. It was my good fortune to work with him for three years and for the nine years since and for as long as I shall continue to be in public life, it will be to me ever a spur to try to do decent duty for the republic, because I have been thrown intimately in contact with as fearless and as high-minded a public servant as this country has ever had, my old friend, your former Governor, Hugh Thompson. (Great applause.) And from what I have known of you and of your representatives it was in no sense a surprise, but it was a keen pleasure to be greeted with the hearty and gen erous hospitality, the more than hearty and generous hospitality, which you have shown me today. (Applause.)tThe welfare of any part of this country is in a certain sense an index of the welfare of all, and I think, gen tlemen, that on the average as we all tend to go up, it seems to be a little better to go up uniformly rather than at a sharper gait, for the time being and, then down and then up again and then down. South Carolina seems during the last two decades to have definitely entered upon the path of steady progress in things material as well as in other things. I was much struck' in looking over some of the figures of the census quite recently published to see the astonishing progress that has been made here in your State. I was prepared to see that the values of your farm productB had risen as they have, a little over 25 per eent I was pro- pared to see that your farms them- selves have increased in a still larger proportion;= that.the value of your lands and buildings had grown up, but I did not realize the way in which your manufacturing enterprises had increas ed, both as shown in the fact that your manufactured products had gone up over 130 per cent.; that for instance the number of spindles has about quadrupled, from less than half a million to more than two million in the State. I did not realize that the wages paid out had increased To per cent. Gentlemen, you talk of progress of the far West, but I think South Carolina can give points .to some of the States. (Applause.) I think that with such a frecord for the previous decade you were well warranted upon insisting upon holding your own people here. (Applause.) And, gentlemen, I was very glad for your exposition. You not snly took in the Southern States, but>u specially included the islands Iy- ng south of the United States, those c.ands with which ttife events of the last few years have made it evident th.it we are bound in the future to have colser relations, (great applause), closer relations for our advantage and our advantage can only be secured by making it for their advantage also. (Loud applause.) And about all that I have said applies to the greatest and richest of those islands, the islands with which we have been brought in to the most peculiar intimacy and re lationship—the island of Cuba. (Applause.) And I ask that in our trade relations with Cuba we give her a marked and substantial advantage, not merely or even mainly because it will redound to our credit, although that al so is true that it will redound to our own interest, but I ask it especially be cause the events have so shaped them selves that it is our duty, as a great and mighty nation, to help Cuba and I hope to see fts db our duty. (Cheers and applause.) “I shall not try to make you a speech tonight, because for your sins you will have to listen to me make one tomorrow. (Laughter.) I shall merely thank you again with all my heart and say to you that I want you to appreciate that I mean every word I say, and mean it deeply when I tell you I have been touched, more than pleased, touched and stirred by the warmth and heartiness with which you have made me feel today that I am one of you.” (Loud applause and cheers.) The President was followed by Governor McSweeney, who prefaced bfs prepared speech by a few words in which he assured the President that he was as safe from bodily harm In South Carolina as he was m Washington. Continuing, he said: Governor McSweeney said in part: “The Anglo-Saxon is entering the cen tury with the imperial crown of the ages on his brow and the sceptre of fhe Infinite in his hands. The old S^Mth fought against the stars In their course—the resisting tide of the rising consciousness of nationality and world-mission. The young South greets the new era and glories in its man hood; he joins his voice In the cheers of triumph which are ushering in this all-conquering Saxon. Our old men dreamed of iocal supremacy; we dream of conquest of the globe. Threads of steel have knit State to State. Steam and electricty have silently transformed the face of the tearth, annihilated time and space and swept the ocean barriers from the path of man; the black steam shuttles of commerce have woven continent to' continent. These words are taken from a speech delivered at a moment of crisis in the history of a sister State. Civil liberty religious freedom have been placed in our keeping as a trust and it is our duty to be faithful to that trust and to move on and upward till the peoples of all lands shall enjoy the same bless ings which are ours. Threads of steel have indeed knit us close together and now we know no North and no South, no East and no West, but hand in hand we are striving for the uplifting and betterment of mankind.“I want to- say in this presence, and In the presence of the President of the United States, that while we may not agree on many questions of policy, that we are all American citizens and the boys of the South will respond to the! call of their country, which is the call of duty, as quickly and readily as the ? of any other section. When four years ago America 'let slip the dogs of war’ and sent her armies and navies to drive the tyrant from Cuba’s wasted shores, together ‘in the gloom of the gory trenches and the ramparts wrapt in flame,’ stood the sons of the frozen North who wore the blue with those of the sunny South who wore the gray, to defend.the honor of their common country. Side by side and shoulder to shoulder they fought till the broken power of Spain in the Western world attested the fact that the men who mad© an.d withstood Pickett’s charge at Gettysburg could clasp hands over the graves of their fallen heroes and together shed their blood in defense of human rights and their country’s cause. It was a Southern boy who first planted the Stars and Stripes on foreign soil; it was a Southern boy who first gave up his fair young life in this cause, and the cold, still form of Ensign Bagley, wrapt about with the silk en folds of his country’s flag, was laid to rest .‘mid the lamentations of a reunited people.’ And in the selfsame sepulchres where He the bravos who gave their lives in that conflict, is buried the last remnant» of any an tagonism which might have existed between the sections. “I am glad that President Roosevelt has comc to this grand old city, that he may see and know us as we are. That he may know and realize that though we may not agree in politics, we know how to welc ime the Presirtenr of our common country. That he nay know and appreciate what Southft n* hospitality means, and right here in Charleston he will find the highest type of this old-time Southern hospi tality. We hope that his coming will be beneficial to all of us.” Capt Wagner, Governor Aycockf of North Carolina, and several others made short addresses. It was midnight when the party broke up and as the President left the room he was cheered to the echo, not only by those who had been fortunate enough to attend il*'% banquet, but by the large numbers who had patientlv waited in the hot*, parTois afid outside to catch a glimpse of him. Upon arrivel at his hotel he Immediately retired. HAMPTON Another Railroad Deal.

THE END CAME ON LAST FRIDAY rhe General, Who Had Just CeIe brated His 84th Birthday, cumbs to Valvular Disease of Heart. Suo the Columbia, S., C., Special.—General Wade Hampton died Friday morning it 9 o’clock from valvular disease of the heart. The general had just passed bis 84th birthday. Twice this winter he has had attacks that have greatly weakened him, but he rallied wonder fully on both occasions. He was out iriving a week ago, but it was evident bis strength was deserting him. The Governor issued this proclama tion: “Whereas, the Hon. Wade Hampton, a former Governor of South Carolina and United States Senator, died at his home in Columbia, Friday morning at LO minutes before 9 o’clock, full o. years and of honor; therefore, I, M. B. McSweeney, Governor of South Carolina, in view of his services to his people and his country through his long honored career and in further re cognition of his broad statesmanship and true nobility of character and his patriotism and devotion to duty and bis State, do request that on tomor row, Saturday, all public offices in the State of South Carolina be closed, and as a further testimonial to his worth that the flags of the State and of the United States be put at half mast on the State Capitol and all other public buildings in the State and remain ^ in that position until the funeral services are held.” _ . .The family objected to a State fu neral. Bells were tolled in all the towns when the news was received and many schools were closed. Gen. Wade Hampton, son of the second Wade, was born in Columbia, S. C., in 1818. He was graduated at the University of South Carolina, and af terward studied law, but without the intention of practicing. Under his IatheriS training he became a good horseman, a famous hunter and an ac complished fisherman. He served in the Legislature of South Carolina in early life, but his political views were those of a Democrat of a national rath er than of a secessional tendency, and were not popular in his State. His speech against the re-opening of the slave trade was called by the New York Tribune “a masterpiece of logic.”. Hia earlier life, however, was devoted to his plantation interests in South Caro lina and Mississippi and to the pur suits of a man of fortune. When the Civil war began, Hampton first enlisted as a private, but soon raised a command of infantry, and ar- artillery, which was known as "Hamp ton’s Legion,” and won distinction in the war. At Bull Run, 600 of his in fantry held for some time the Warren- ton road against Key's corps, and was sustaining Gen. Bee when Jackson came to their aid. In the Peninsulai campaign they were again distinguish ed and at. c^even Pines lost half of Lheii number, and.Hampton himself received a painful wn'*^:! in the foot. Soon af terward he was made Brigadier Gener al of Calvary ,and assigned to Gen. J. E B. Stuart’s command. He was frequently selected for detached service in which he was uncommonly success ful.In the Maryland and Pennsylvania campaigns of 1862 and 1863 Hampton was actively engaged, and he distin guished himself at Gettysburg, receiv ing three wounds. It is said that 21 out of 23 field officers, and more than half the men of Gen. Hampton’s command were killed or* wounded in this battle. He was made a major-generai with rank from the third of August 1863. In 1864, after several days’ fight’n? he gave Sheridan a check at Trevil- lian’s station, which broke up the plan of campaign that included a -junction with Hunter and the capture of Lynch burg. In 23 days he captured ovei 3,000 prisoners and much material ol war with the ioss of 719 men. He was made commander of Lee’s cavalry In August, with rank of lieutenant gencr al, and in September struck the reai of the National army at City Point bringing away 400 prisoners and 2,48( beeves. Soon afterward, in anothei action, he captured five hundred prisoners. In one of these attacks he lost his son in battle. Hampton was then detached to take command of Gen. Joseph P. Johnston’s cavalry and did what he could to arresi the advance of Sherman’s army north ward of Savannah in the spring oi 1865. After the unfortunate burning of Columbia, S. C., on its evacuation bj the Confederates, a sharp discussion arose between Gen. Hampton and Gen Sherman, each charging the other witb the willful destruction of the city.After the war he at once engaged In cotton planting, but was not successful He accepted from the first all the legitimate consequences of defeat, ah entin submission to. the law, and the civil and political equality of the negro; bul be has steadily defended the motives and conduct of his people and then leaders. In 1866, speaking of the negrc he said: As a slave he was faithful t< us; as a freeman let us treat him as a friend; deal with him frankly, justly kindly.” During the reconstruction perioc Hampton’s conciliatory policy founc- little favor foir some time, but in 187( he was nominated for Governor againsi Daniel H. Chamberlain. Each clalmec to be elected and two governments wer* organized, but Mr. Chamberlain finalh yielded his claim. In 1878 he met with an accident bj which he lost a leg; but, while his lif< was despaired of, he wan oiectert t< the United States Senate, and he served until 1892.

Special--North Caro Iina school teachers have held a num ber of meetings to plan their work and agitate the subject of publ.e edu cation, but an educational me-ting composed of other professions and ac tive business men is somethin^, unique in this State. Yet it is just such a gathering that Greensboro is now entertaining. And it is an earnest, - tive, thinking, working body of pe- pie. If a meaning is sought, it is to be found in the fact that there is an awakening in educational ^ tte rs, a public school revival, in the Old Nortt State. Ncs-i.ng else could have brought about the great educational confer ence now in session "in this city. The fiist r. ssion of the conference, held at the State Normal and Industrial College Thursday night, showed there was no lack of enthusiasm or Interest in the subject that brought tlie educators and others . together. Every word spoken was a plea for better and higher things for the pub lic schools of North Carolina. Nothing was said of the universities or colleges, or even of the high schools or graded schools; it was the neg lected and pooiiy equipped “free schools” in the rural districts that claimed the attention and thought of all. And while the picture held up was of necessity a dark one, a spirit of optimism pervaded the utterances o- those who portrayed conditions as they exist.The nteeiing was under the auspices of the Women’s Association for the Betterment of the Public Schopl Mouses of North Carolina, an organi zation recently formed among the 400 vouug women of the State Normal a:ul Jnrttissrial College. Miss Laura Kirby, of ltaleigh, president of the as- sedation, opened the meeting in a tew words of welcome to the visitors She expressed the hope that the as sociation would be able to accomplish great things for North Carolina and asked the county superintendents and others present to offer suggestions of lines of work to be followed. Miss Annie Kizer, of Salisbury, ex plained that the object of the associa tion was to unite the women citizens of North Carolina m ii movement that would result in improving and beauti fying the public school houses of the State. While it was a woman’s organization, she exrU;*ned that the help of the men wan- desired that the influence of iiiC movement should.be Mt in every rural school district In North Carolina. Miss Carrie Sparger, of Mt. Airy, stated that the first step .of the association would be to send letters to the women school teachers of the -State in an effort to enlist their sup port and co-operation In the move ment. In order to facilitate the work, it- was stated that the State would be divided into ten districts, each to he under the supervision of a vice presiv dent of the central association. Coun ty associations would be organized, and through these efforts would be made to secure volunteer committees to look after the school houses in every district. Superintendent Charles L. Coon, of the Salisbury graded schools, ihade a very bright and effective speech in ex plaining the condition of the average school house in North Carolina and in impressing the need of just the kind of work it is proposed to ac complish through the association recently formed at the. State Normal College. Superintendent Coon laid down the proposition that the ques tion of education in North Carolina is a question of religion and stated that when he preached this doctrine he remembered that the people of North Carolina believed in a hell of. fire and brimstone. “If there is a hell for the man in North Carolina who gets drunk and beats his wife,” he said “there is surely a hell for the men and women who don’t educate tnelr children, but permit them to grow up for the chain- gang and the penitentiary. If 'folks can build churdhes In North Carolina, why can’t they build school houses? It is a strange proceeding to leave a child to just grow up until he or she reaches 'manhood or woman hood and then hold a revival over him or her.” By way of emphasizing his remarks, Mr. Coon said the people In Salisbury, some time ago, built a tabernacle at an expense of $S00 and swit off and got an evangelist to con duct a revival meeting. The evangelist preached six days and was paid ?640. It was said that he converted 40 people but an actual count, showed that 25 of them went back to sin and wick edness. While the people of Sails- busy were doing this, their graded schoor'building. was in a state oi dilapidation and there was pressing need of money to add to the equip ment and pay teachers, but nobody said anything about raising the price ef the" tabernacle for the school. As an example of just what many pub’ie schools In North Carolina are, Mr. Coon told of a school seven miles from Salisbury. The district had a total "population of 153, and out of this there were nine white men over 40 years of age who could neither read nor write. The wives of four of these men were In the same, plight! '!here was a school population of 59 and the number of pupils enrolled was 49, the averase dally attendance during the term-being 25.- The term, which closed a few days ago, continued for 86 days. The school v-ir uraght by a farmer in 'the neighbor hood for the munificent salary of $25 a month, He had no special training for the work and his general educa tion lacked, a good deal of being extensive. The school was conducted in a Shabbt1V constructed hut, al though in the district there- were two neat church buildings. This school, Mi. Cooq said, was like QQto a - great many others in North Carolina. He argued that the conditions and sur roundings must be improved before any perceptible improvement in the educational standarde of the peoul can be noted. Mr. Coon was followed by Prof J M. Smith. Cf Elon College, who gave bis experience in dealing with some of the country schools. He spoke of the great necessity for improving the school houses and their surroundings and urged that some definite plan be adopted for carrying on the work. State Superintendent Joyner spoke eloquently of" the education outlook In North Carolina and expressed the belief that a brighter day was dawning. He gave It as hls optnion that the three most important .questions In connection with the public school problem In North Carolina were; Improve ment of the school house, consolidation of school districts, and an increase in- the public school fund by local taxa tion. He declared that the rural school problem was today the great unsettled problem-In North Carolina. The meeting was thrown open for an informal discussion and the students of the college were requested to aae Hons in connection with any regard to. the public schools , is which they wished information Otot a number of the young women themselves of the opportunity » i- interesting and pertinent oum - s which were answered by Sunerlni ' ent Joyner, ex-Superintendent M1* and the county superintendent- n? ent. “ Wli The conference ccr. ducted by n, Superintendent Joyner, Ir, Opera House this morning, wes tended. The consolidationo!sl '! tricts to the end that better s,-!'1"!' and stronger teachers may be s» was the principal subject coaSi'? In arguing for the consolidation Jy tricts, Mr. Joyner called attention i the fact that 57 per cent, ot the school districts in North aCrolina int; a school populrt'cn of less than Cj Jk minimum prescribed by law J thought the districts in most could be reduced by one-half t”0 good advantage. He said the peonkS North Carolina had shouted themsdr hoarse about their great material ? sources and had left their intelleita resources to perish. “To my mind" said, ‘-‘this is the most serious side m this stupendous problem, and unless ,! go to work and build up the rural schools, a few generations more nil find the county districts of Korth Car olina filled with the poorest sort if peasant population, made up of necrae- and what Is commonly known as ‘ii,;;! trash.” * Mr. C. E. Henderson, of CasM county, spoke feelingly of the Ciifikut. ties under which the schools of Vs ppunty were operated. For the past ij years, he said, they had been gsii, down hill, with the result that manvoi the best people in the county V1,1 moved to the towns to secure educational advantages for their Childm He said the school funds of Caswrit amounted to only 94 cents for each child.Mr. J. W. TJmstead, a member of tle board of education of Durham cmm-v made a strong plea for the consolldV tion of the districts, as he thought '.Ms the only way. of improving the schools and getting the best results. He ate his observations of some of the schools in his county and depreciated the tej. dency to often squander what Iittk money was available for school p> poses. He thought the proper solution of the country school problem roiili do much to stop the influx ot the try people to the towns. Mr. Dmsteafr speech was one of the most practical made and was plimented.Superintendent Long, of explained that many districts in hi; county had been- depopulated by th' people moving to the mills and told of the difficulties "encountered in consolidating the schools. Alamance has better school buildings than the average county. - ' Superintendent James, of Madison spoke of the work that had been done Th his county ip consolidating the dis tricts. It appears that Madison is fn ahead of most of the counties in the central and eastern portions of the State in this respect.Superintendent Massey, of Durhao where much has been done In the waj of consolidation, told how he and thi members of the board of education went about the work. He first convert ed the members of the board to the theory, after which they went to wo:l on the district committee and the patrons of the schools. The result has been m&flt gratifying. Several districts has been cosolidated and a number of net and comfortable school houses erected. , This has greatly increased the enroll ment and attendance. The schools it Durham now run from six and a halt to nine months on a per capita of Si. Superintendent Coon, of the Salisbury schools, brought up the qnestioa as to the best method of eraployhf teachers. The concensus of opinios ap peared to be that this duty should revolve upon the county board of edura- tion instead of the township or district committees.During the discussion the fact war brought out that the average value ol -school, houses in North Carolina, including grounds and equipment, it $177.50. Mr. F. .-C. Abbott, of Charlotte, took this as a text for a few remark on his recent proposition to the business meh "of the State for the betterment of the school houses.Governor Aycock and Superintendent Ray, of the Institution for the Blind at Releigb. also made brief addressee. AFTERNOON SESSION. At this afternoon’s session the unction of libraries In connection with t ie rural schools wad taken up. Superintendent Massey, of Durham county, where every, white school is equiPP™ with a library, told how the work wan done. He', said there was nothing to prevent any superintendent from ?!“' ing a library in every school in n® county, if he would only put forth JJJj pyoper effort. There are between 4.W and 5.000 volumes in the Durham coun ty school libraries. . „.Frof.

'Pudlneciires I iadaohes, PRESIDENT’S EXPOSITION SPEECH. Says Many Things Complimentary to Southern Progress. The address of Prr cident Roosevelt at Charleston Wednesday was well- timed and well received. The President said in part: “It is to me a peculiar privilege to speak here In your beautiful city. My mother’s people were from Georgia; but before they came to Georgia, be fore the Revolution, 5n the days of Co lonial rule, they awelt for nearly a century in South Carolina; and there fore I can claim your State as mine by inherranec no less than by the stronger and nobler right which makes each foot of American soil in a sense the proper ty of all Americans. “Charleston is not only a typical Southern city; it is also a city whose history teems with events which Tink themselves to American history as- a whole. In the early Colonial days Charleston was the outpost of <Jur peo ple against the Spaniard in the South. In the days of the Revolution there oc curred here some of the events which vitally affected the outcome of the struggle for independence, and which impressed themselves most deeply upon the popular mind. It was here that the tremendous, terrible drama of the civil war opened. “With delicate and thoughtful cour tesy you originally asked me to come to this exposition on the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. The invitation not only shows a fine generosity and man liness in you, my hosts, but it also em phasized as hardly anything else could havo emphasized how completely we are now a united people. The wounds left by the great civil war, incompara bly the greatest war of modern times, have healed; and its memories are now priceless heritages of honor alike to the North and to the South. The devotion, the self-sacrifice, the steadfast resolution and lofty daring, the high devotion to the rights as each man saw it, whether Northenier or Southerner— all these qualities of the men and women of the early sixties now stiine lu minous and brilliant before our eyes, while the mists of anger and hatred that once dimmed them have passed away forever.“All of us, North and South, can glory alike in the valor of the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray. Those were iron times, and only iron men could fight to its terrible finish the giant struggle between the hosts of Grant and Lee. To us of the present day, and to our children and children's children, the valiant deeds, the high endeavor, and abnegation of self shown in that struggle by those who took part therein will remain for evermore to mark the level to which, we in our turn must rise whenever the hour of the nation’s need may come. “When four years ago this nation was compelled to face a foreign foe, the completeness of the reunion became in stantly and strikingly evident. The war was not one which called for the exercise of more than an Insignificant fraction of our strength, and the strain put upon us was slight indeed com pared with the results. But it was a satisfactory thing to see the way in which the sons of the soldier of the Union and the soldier of the Confederacy leaped eagerly forward, emulous to show in brotherly rivalry the quali ties which had won renown for their fathers, the men of the great war. It was my good fortune to serve under an ex-Confederate general, gallant old Joe Wheeler, who commanded the cav alry at Santiago. ‘‘In my regiment there were certainly as many men whose fathers had served in the Southern, as there were men whose fathers had served in the North ern axmy. Among the captains there was opportunity to promote but one to field rank. The man who was singled out for this promotion because of conspicious.gallantry in the field was the son of a Confederate general and was himself a citizen of this, the Pal metto State; and no American officer could wish to march to battle besides a more loyal, gallant, and absolutely fearless comrade tfinn my former captain and major, your fellow-eitizen, Micajah Jenkins. uA few months ago, owing to the en- forcod absence of the Governor of the Philippines, it became necessary to nominate a Vice Governor to take his place—one of the most important places in our government at this time. I nominated as Vice Governor an ex-Confed erate. Gen. Luke Wright, of Tennes see. It is therefore an ex-Confederate who now stands as the exponent of this. government and this people in that great group of. islands in the eastern seas over which the American flag floats. Gen. Wright has taken a loading part in the work of steadily bring ing order and peace out of bloody chao 3 in whidi we found the islands. He is now taking a leading part not merely in upholding the honor of the flag by making it respected as th^ symbol of our power, but still more in upholding its honor by unwearied labor for the establishment of ordered liberty—of law-creating, law-abiding civil gov-, ernment—under its folds.“The progress which has been made under Gen. Wright and those like him has been indeed marvelous. In fact a letter of the general’s the other day seemed to show that he considered, there was far more warfare about the Philippines in this country than there was warfare in the Philippines themselves! It is an added proof of the »:om- pleteness of the reunion of our country that one of the forem.ost men who have been instrumental in driving forward the great work for civilization and .hu manity in the Philippines has been a man who in the civil war fought with distinction In a uniform of Confederate gray.“if ever the need comes in the fu ture the past has made abundantly evident the fact that from this time on Northerner and Southerner will in uar know only the generous desire to strive how each can do the more effective service for the flag of our common coun try. The same thing is true in the endless work of peace, the never-ending work of building and keeping the marvelous fabric of our industrial pros perity. To O ut Sm allpox.

NE W\ FACTORY IN TOWN BENEFITS ATTENDING TH E 'E S T A B LISHMENT OF LOCAL INDUSTRIES. O on’t B uy Any(.Uiii~ A broad T h a t Ton Can Get Blade at Hoine^Every New In d u atry oc O ld O ne S nlaxved is a H olp to Us AU. If a new factory is to be erected, men employed, wages paid and profits realized I would rather the factory bp niy town than in any other town Why? Virst: If I am a wage worker my opportunities of employment will be increased by an enlarged demand for labor close at hand. Even if some of t-iio employes are brought from else where the setting up of the industry will open new avenues of. employment, both directly and indirectly. Second: if I am a farmer the mar- r.ri.3 for my products will be improved. Every additional eater means a readier sale and possibly a better price for the output of my land,, my dairy, my hen* coop. The nearer the market is the better for me. Give me a clear field to supply a factory village of five hund red people .with their butter, eggs, pork and garden sass ” and the other farmers can send their stuff to Lon don, Paris, Bombay and Pekin for ought I care. Third: If I am a merchant I will live on the folks within easy reach of my store. Unless I am a big gun and have a long distance pull the folks in the towns twenty miles away won’t do me much good. Double the population of my town and you double my opportunities. rourth: If I own real estate I am very sensitive about comings and goings. Every new man and new fami ly interests my pocket at once. They must abide somewhere. Tenants or customers to somebody they must be. A hundred new families in my town would be a “sweet boon” to my busi ness. By all means locate the factory here. Why, I’ll give the land for it my self. Fifth: If I am a professional man I surely want more people here, more pupils, more patients, more clients, more people to build up the church in this place. The greater my opportuni ties the more good I can do. Let ’em come here. Sixth: As a member of the-town council, it is my duty to develop tM« town, to increase its population,. add to its means of earning a living, bring vacant land under improvement so that the weaith of the. municipality may be enlarged, thus making easier the bur den of taxation and enabling the local government to provide better schools, roads, lights for all without hardships any. Every new industry or old one enlarged is a help to us all. Bring the factory here and It shall pay no taxes for ten years. As it is with the town, so It is with the country. Don’t buy anything abroad that you can get made at home. It is bad business policy. P ro tect O nr W ool Growers* There is a fine opportunity fos the Senators from Montana, Wyoming and other Western States to be on the alert for the interests of their constitu ents. The effort Is being made to bring up the Kasson reciprocity treaties— which many Senators hold are dead because not ratified within the pre scribed time. It is asserted that Sena tor Cullom. of Illinois, has “given his word that the long delayed treaties shall be acted on, to which there is no objection—if they are acted on rightly.” The treaty which the Northwestern Senators should look out for is that negotiated -with the Argentine Repub lic, which provides for a material reduction in the duty on wool. The effect of the ratification of this treaty upon the great wool growing Interests of Montana, and other wool growing States can be appreciated, and the treaty in question should not be rati fied. Reciprocity is all right if carried on along the lines laid down by President McKinley—so that its provisions shall not prove injurious to any American industry. The treaty with the Argen tine BepnbIic would prove extremely damaging to the wool interests of the country, and therefore should not be ratiCed.—Helena (Mont.) Record. T Iie Sontfi a n d th e Tariff. The Southern people were cnce, in the days of the Whigs, about equally divided on the tariff question. Virginia sometimes went for the Whigs. So did North Carolina, Kentucky, Ten nessee and Georgia. Alabama came very near casting her vote for Genera: Taylor, and Louisiana has always been a tariff State. The statue of Henry Clay has stood upon our streets for half a century. WTith the race.ques- t’on out of the way the South would again have successful tariff leaders like those grand Whigs who lived In our history—Prentiss, Sharkey, Hil liard, Gus Henry, the eagle crator of Tennessee, the Marshalls of Ken tucky, Stephens and Toombs of Georgia, Graham of North Carolina, and others Tvho made national reputa tions. In fact the South is stronger to-day for protection than she was be fore the Civil War. Then she was pure ly an agricultural community. Now we are largely manufacturers, and every part of the South is interested In some kind of industry which ob jects to foreign competition. We vote protection not only for our sugar, but also for our rice, our lumber, our oranges and o.ur cotton goods. Of course each community has its own special industry in mind when the tariff question is under consideration, but it cannot justly be said of Louisi ana or of the South that we are not willing to extend to others what -we ask for ourselves.—New Orleans Item. Slionld N ot Be D istu rb ed . There is no time for tariff tinkering nor for tariff tinkering discussion. The present tariff has proved !satis factory to the country and will not be disturbed so long as Republicanf re main in power.—Helena (Mont . "old.

Faa» A Tt., Po We Know JKnough Whether protected inaustries thrive better than those exposed to competi tion from all available quarters Is a question that has been the subject of more befogging and pettifogging than any other in American history. The country has been so many times mis* led by beautiful theories of “univer sal brotherhood,” **a fair field and no favors,” “equal lights to buy where one pleases,” “trade should be un- trammeled,” and so on, that it* has taken the bitterest of experience, many times repeated, to beat into us the homely facts which underlie national progress and prosperity. It is to be hoped that we know enough now not to wantonly throw away our oppor tunities, not to sacrifice our own indus tries in pursuit of something not half so gopd and which can be had without the s&crifide. T b is O ne P aid . It was regarded as a sensational episode and so treated by the news* papers that a rich woman should land in New York one day last week, bringing $75,000 worth of Paris finery, on which she promptly paid duties amounting to over $31,000. It does not appear that she complained of delay er mistreatment at the hands of the cus toms inspectors. People who. honestly declare their dutiable articles seldom find any reasons for complaint. But isn’t it curious that the newspapers should tfeat as a sensational episode the’fact that a rich woman voluntarily obeyed the law and paid the duties that the Government was entitled to re ceive? Is it because the difference be tween this rich woman and many-other rich women lies in the fact thnt this one paid? Same Old Fight* The citrus fruit growers of this and other States where the orange grows are beginning to realize now what one cent a pound tariff on that fruit, for which they work so hard, means.

E w ta n i Abollalied. by Alexander I. Fvao* tlced Ohder Kloholoa II. The centenary of the abolition In Russia of the torture as an organized system of legal inquiry hag provided the Russian press with a text for nu merous articles on the humanity and progress of their country. No doubt it was a great rtep to take, but it has still to be ratified ia practice before Russia has any particular occasion to rejoice. In the old days; the torture was applied to all suspects as a first means of inquiry, and when the un happy wretch had been compelled to confess something—usually, as the Empress Catherine expressed it, any thing which was put into his mouth “ he was subjected to a second “in quiry** by the same or more severe means, in order to secure confirma tion of his first confession. Occa sionally the whole process was re peated twice more, with a view to extorting the names of accomplices. The tortures applied were much the same a3 in other countries, but could be added to by the ingenuity of indi vidual officials. Thus, during the reign of Anne, when the ex-table boy and favorite of the empress, Biron, was in power, it was a favorite form Of toriture to st&ni a culprit naked in the snow during the severe northern frosts of midwinter; either ice-cold or cold and hot alter nately, a form of “inquiry” which had the disadvantage of too often killing the poor wretch before he had time to confess' anything. Thumbscrews, the clog and every form >■ of whipping and beating, with almost as many names for the various processes as a e to be found in the dialogues of the slaves of Roman comedy, were every day attributes of the old Russian, halls of justice. Just 100 years ago the Emperor Al exander I. abolished the torture as being & “shame and a reproach to all mankind.” But lie forgot to ordsr the legal instruments of toiture to be des troyed, and these lingered on and wer3 undoubtedly used for another quarter of a century. Officially the torture has, ot course, actually disappeared— at any rate, those forms of it which require elaborate instruments for their application are no more 'to be found. In actual fact, however, says the Lon* don Standard’s Moscow correspondent, and in secret, there is a great deal of torture going on in the most enlight ened centers of the Russian empire at the ^present day, and it is exercised by the police intrusted with the dis covery of crime, the “detective polio?.” DAN GROSVENOR SAYS: Hg -ra-na Is an Exeellenf Spring Catarrh * --S m as Well as Ever.” ’ Left Money ter Odd Furpose. Two hundred years ago John Hon ot. Guildford, England, left property, real or personal, upon curious terms Its income was to reward “the female domestic who remained at least twe years In one'situation within the bor ough, and who should throw the high est number with two dice in competi tion with another aspirant for the money”—that is to say, it was to en courage fidelity of service and, it must be feared, a spice of gambling. Sothe other day Clara Howard and Florence Ansell, both of whom had been in one service over eight years, threw against one another, and Clara, casting seven to Florence's five, received a check for twelve guineas ($60.) Capitalists from Huntsville, Ala., and Northern cities are investigating at Jacksonville, Tenn., with a view to erecting a $300,000 cotton mill there. B. B. B. SEN T FREE.

Since the law clearly, and we think wisely, too, makesit a misdemean or for any man not to list his tax es, then it is certainly tjje duty of the solicitors to prosecute and if any censure is imposed it should be upon the Solicitors who fail to enforce the law. There are many men, who actually seheme to avoid listing and paying their taxes! The The law ought to reach such and reach them with a heavy hand that no man will dare not to list and pay his just proportion of the taxes to his State.—Ealeigh Tunes. if you will put WiththiagWEtoyoartliraBtoftea it wM quickly cure a Sore Throat.

Yes, the Society Essayist here hits his particular crowd a hard blow; but re shied at, going the whole length of the truth. Dis honest elections, however brought about, whether by the corrupt use of money in buying voters or by the corruption incident to employ ing dishonest men as officers at the polls to render a false count of the votes cast, are crimes against the republic as well as. against indivi duals.

PASSAGE OF RECIPROCITY BILL The Alleged Bargain of the Republi cans to Sacrifice the Ctmmpacker Resolution. Washington, Special.—The Demo crats and Republican insurgents rode roughshod over the House leaders Friday when the voting began on the Cu ban reciprocity bill. They overthrew the ruling of the chair in committee of the whole on the germaneness of an amendment to remove the differ ential from refined sugar during the existence of the reciprocity agreement provided for in the bill. The vote to overrule the decision of the chair, made by Mr. Sherman, of New York, was 171 to 130, Republicans to the number of 37 joining with a solid Democratic vote to accomplish this result. Having won this preliminary victory, the amendment was adopted in committee, 164 to 111, and later in the House by a still larger majority. 199 to 105. On this occasion 64 Republicans voted with the Democrats for the amendment The bill was then passed by an overwhelming majority. 247 to 52. An analysis of the vote shows that 124 Republicans and 123 Democrats voted for the amended bill, and 42 Republicans and 10 Democrats against it. Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, was one of those who voted against the bill. The voting on the bill was the culmina tion of a long struggle which began almost with the inception of this session of Congress, and after two weeks of continuous debate, during which much bitterness was aroused. The day’s debate was of an exceedingly lively character, the feature being the echoes of last night’s Democratic caucus. To that caucus the defeat of the Republican leaders who sought to pass the bill without amendment was attributable. Previous to the holding of the chair, the Democrats were di vided and the opposition of the beet sugar men showed signs of disin tegrating. To-day when it became apparent that the Democrats would act together, the beet sugar men decided at a meeting attended by 32 to take the bit in their teeth ~nd overrule the chair. As soon as this combina tion was effected the Republican lead ers realized that they would be de feated, so far as the removal of the differential was concerned, and Mr.* Payne, the Republican leader, con tented himself with warning his beet sugar colleagues that in removing the differential they were taking off a bit. of protection placed in the Dingley bill especially for the benefit of the beet sugar producers. Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, the Democratic leader, was the first speaker. He stated frankly that he doubted whether the enactment of the bill WrOuId do much to bring about the reciprocal trade relations between Cuba and the United States which was earnestly to be desired, .but he had voted for it in the hope that he might accomplish something. It would at least reduce by 20 per cent, the outrageously high rates of the Dingley law so far as Cuba was concerned, Those high rates could not stand and he said that Mr. Gros- venor’s speech a few days ago was a warning of the coming storm. He thought the time for a revision of the tariff was at hand and the fact that the pending bill was so in a modest way commended it to him. Mr. Rich ardson called attention to the district of Mr. Babcock, of Wisconsin, en dorsing the latter’s bill to remove the duties from steel, and amid democratic applause said that the Demo crats proposed to give Mr. Babcock an opportunity later on to vote for the bill his constituents had endorsed. Just before Mr. Richardson took his seat, Mr. Bromwell, of Ohio, asked him this question: ‘'Does the gentle man from Tennessee know anything of a reported bargain between the leaders on this side and the Democrats on that by which the Crum- packer resolution is to be smothered in order to aid the passage of the pending bill?” “Absolutely nothing,” replied Mr. Richardson. The Cotton C-op. New Orleans, Special.—Secretary Hester’s statement of the world’s visible supply of cotton, issued Friday shows the total visible to be 3,886,517 bales; against 3,993,338 last week and 3,389,878 last year. Of this the total American cotton is 2,746,510 bales against 2,861,336 last week and 2,777,- 878 last year, and of all other kinds, Including Egypt, Brazil, India, etc., 1.140.000, against 1,132,000 last week, and 1,052,000 last year. Of the world’s Visible supply of cotton there is now afloat and held in Great Britain and continental Europe 2,109,000 bales, against 1,899,000 last year; in Egypt 186.000, against 533,000 last year, and in the United States 980,000, against 1,224,000 last year. SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL For Practical Education. At the annual meeting of the Texas Cotton Manufacturers’ Association last week at Dallas resolutions were adopted calling for a legislative appro priation sufficient to establish and op- erate a textile school. The adoption of these resolutions followed an address by President E. A. Du Bose, who called attention to the necessity, whenever a new cotton mill is organized in the State, for superintendents, overseers, engineers,. machinists and electricians, and the present custom of sending outside of the State for such labor. He in sisted that the greatest cotton growing State in the union ought to provide the means for equipping and qualifying natives of the State for these lucrative positions, especially as the time is not far distant when the South will be manufacturing finer fabrics. Thus .the campaign for practical education in Die South widens. It is natural that it should have its inspiration in the tex tile industry. But it should not stop there. It should extend into all lines in which the rising generation of the South may learn to labor confidently. Appalachian Park. The bill for the establishment of a national forest reserve in the Southern Apoalaehians has been reported favorably in Congress. Nothing should be permitted to prevent its becoming an act. It authorizes the purchase of 4,00,000,000 acres of land in the moun tain region extending from Southern Virginia and West Virginia to Northern Alabama and Georgia, touching South Carolina and Tennessee and con taining not only the greatest variety of timber in the country, but what it of equal importance, the -head springs of more than a dozen important rivers emptying into the Atlantic ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. The passage of Uie bill is of prime importance to secure condi tions whereby the value of these streams for transportation and irriga tion, and as sources of industrial and commercial power, may be maintained, if not increased, and to give practical encouragement to the development of scientific forestry, the necessity for which is becoming every year more recognized. From Wadesboro to Winston. Representatives of the Winslon- Saiem (N. C.) Chamber of Commerce recently appeared before a special committee and a number of members of the Charleston (S. C.) Chamber of Com merce advocating the construction ,of the proposed Wadesboro & Winston Railroad, which would give a direct route from Charleston via the Atlantic Coast Line or the Norfolk & Western railroad to coal lands in Virginia and West Virginia. It was stated that the financial plan of the proposed construction was well advanced. The distance from Wadesboro to Winston- Salem in a.direct line is about seventy- five miles, and line so constructed would run through Anson, Stanly, Davidson and Forsyth counties, in North Carolina. It might also touch Rowan county. Southern Railway Securities Broughl Fancy Figures AIORGAN BROKERS LEAD BUYING Shares Representing One-Fourth the Capital Changed Hands In Forty Minutes of Trading. Big Oil Contract. It is announced that the United Gas Improvement Co. has awarded to the Lone Star & Crescent Oil Co. a con tract for the delivery of 1,500,000 barrels of crude Texas oil per annum for five years. The oil is to be used in the manufacture of illuminating gas, and is expected to insure a saving in expenses of about $750,000 a year.

The oil will be sent from the Lone Star & Crescent gushers In the Beaumont field by pipe line to Sabine Pass, and thence by steamers to New York and Philadelphia. Washington, Special to the Charlotte Observer.—'Wild buying of Southern Railway stocks was begun Tuesday as soon as the stock exchange was called to order in New York. The fact that the Morgan brokers were prominent in buying was interpreted to mean that Morgan & Co. had taken Louis ville & Nashville off John W. Gates’ hands at his own price and that he had done this with the consent of the Rothschilds. More than 250,000 shares of Southern Railway, common and preferred, were traded in In the first 40 minutes, amid scenes of great excitement. These 3hares represented about one-fourth of the capitl stock of the road. More' than $10,000,000 cash was involved in their purchase. The price of the com mon stock rose under this buying from 341-2 to 371-2, the highest price at which Southern Railway has ever sold. The preferred also made a new high record, rising from the closing price of 95 to 98 1-2 under enormous transac tions. At the same time Louisville & Nashville was bought quietly in very large blocks. The street believes that the buying now is merely to strengthen the control of the Morgan party in the Southern territory. It is said that J. P. Morgan, in London, and Georgs W. Perkins, in New York, spent all Mon day night in cable conversation regard ing Louisville. Concerning this deal an afternoon edition of The New York Journal says: “It was learned from very high author- ty that Mr. Morgan at first refused to negotiate with the Gates party, fear ing displeasure of the Rothschilds. Conferences with Rothschilds in Lon-. don, however, resulted in an agree ment whereby they gave their consent to the acqusition of the Louisville & Nashville by Mr. Morgan. It is under stood that Rothschilds’control cost un der $80 a share, and that they have dis posed of it at enormous profits. The Rothschilds’ willingness to let the road go is said to be due to their belief that the wave of prosperity in America has reached almost the top and that they can get back control if they should ever desire it at much lower figures. Mr. Morgan, by buying only with their consent, has diverted from himself the proverbial wrath of this family and has centered it. on the heod of John W. Gates, who henceforth is' a marked man. Intimate friends of the Roths childs said that no matter how many millions John W. Gates might accu mulate for the time being, he was ruin ed from the day he antagonized the Rothschilds; that it is the rule of the family never to forgive the man who outwits them.” LIVE ITEMS OF NEWS.

Manila, By Cable.—General Malvar has unconditionally surrendered to Brigadier General J. Franklin. Bell, at Laps, Batangas province, with the entire insurgent force of the provinces of Laguna and Batangas. GenerM Bell says his (Bell’s) influence is sufficien. to quell the insurrectionary movements in Tayabas and Cavite provinces and capture all those In the field who hav- not yet surrendered, but Malvar has ordered the complete surrender of ev ery insurgent to the nearest force.General Wheaton, reporting to the division headquarters, says that all re sistance in his department has ended and that the surrenders just announced mean that the ports will he opened and that the Filipinos in the detention camps can Ue allowed to return to tnen home in time to plant the crops. General Wheaton is especially pleas ed with General Bell’s care of the natives confined in the camps. The offi cers in charge are held personally re sponsible for the quality and quantity of the food served out and for the general welfare of the occupants of the camps. After securing the. mountain passes General Bell employed volunteer bolomen for protection against ladron- ism. Numbers of Filipinos volunteered and expressed the liveliest satisfaction at the treatment accorded to them selves and to their families who were in the concentration camps. General Wheaton gives General Bell great credit for his indefatigability in conducting the campaign. He was in the field on horseback day and night personally superintending the arrange ments. The people of Manila are' de lighted at the prospect of a resumption of trade with the pacified provinces and are anxious to show Generals Chaffee, Wheaton and Bell their appre ciation of the fact that the insurrection is feally over.About 3,300 rifles have been received by the American officers in Batangas and Laguna provinces during the past four months. General Malvar personally requested an interview with General Bell in or der to make his complete submission. Hassacre of Soldie's. Washington, Special.—The following cablegram from General Chaffee, dated at Manila, was made public at the War Department: “With reference to my telegram of 23rd ultimo, reporting attack by Moros, reconnaissance under Forsyth, March I5th, soldier of Twen ty-seventh Regiment, United States In fantry, murdered by Moros in the vicinity of Parang, March 30th two sol diers of the Twenty-seventh Regiment, United States Infantry, having one gun were approached with semblance of friendship by six Moros, near Maia- bang. The rifle was seized, one sol dier was killed and other severely wounded but escaped. The murder was without provocation or justification in any way. The murderers are known and demand has been made for sur render. Thus far dattos have refused to deliver them. Have been to Mala- bang and tried to confer with them. Waited three days. Dattos refused to come in. Expedition of 1,200 men un der Colonel Frank D. Baldwin, cavalry and artillery, before formed, IeavinL for Lake Lano abont April 27th, purpose to arrest the murderers and punish the dattos. Every care to be tak en not to bring general war with Moros about the lake, absolutely important. Scouts say reported by these that sov ereignty United States fully acknowledged. Have addressed letter to this effect dattors at the same time inform • ing them of friendly disposition of gov ernment to punish only those giving offense; that government claims right explore country between Ilamar Bay and Ilantia, and that the purpose is to do so now and at any other time. Ac complishment tliis object necessary; retain battalion 17th two months long er. By belief present time is that a large majority of the dattos would sup port those implicated in the murders.” Cannot Be AIerged. Knoxville, Tenn., Special.—In regal’d to State interference in ease of a merger of the Southern Railway and the Louisville & Nashville Railroad lines in the State of Tennessee, it has been learned that the Tennessee law absolutly forbids the acquisition by any one road of parallel and compet ing lines of railways. According to this law it would be impossible for the Southern road to secure possession of the Louisville & Nashville and operates it as a part of its system. It could only be operated as a separate and dis tinct road. MisceIiaucous Matters. Illinois capitalists have bought 57,- 000 acres of land for $500,000 in Cuba for a mule farm.

LvL-L : :: L ’.vL;: L --LcLvfLsLL NORTH CAROLINA CROP BULLETIN Past Week Only noderately Favor. able for. Cultivation of Growth. The past week must be character- i’zed as only moderately favorable for agricultural interests in the central- east portion of the State, and as rather unfavorable In the west, where the advent of spring is much delayed. The temperature averaged about 40 degrees daily ’below the normal, and frosts occurred on several mornings at exposed places in the hilly region of the Piedmont plateau, with tem peratures slightly below freezing in the mountains, especially the morn ing of the 9th. The latter portion ol the week was warmer, spring-like and favorable everywhere. A general rain occurred Monday afternoon and mghi which, averaged an inch for the State at large and was not really needed, though less disadvantageous in the east than elsewhere. The rain stopped work for a few days, but as the re mainder of the week was dry, the soil in excellent condition, the tempera ture more agreeable, progress in plowing and pianting made bettei headway. Lowlands are still too wot and have so far received little atten tion. The cold, windy weather of the early part of the week cheeked the germination of seeds, and caused slow growth of crops and forest vege tation. Many advanced farmers have nearly completed the planting of upland corn in the east; elsewhere the work has made fairly good progress, but is proceeding slowly west of the -Blue Ridge where plowing is backward. In the extreme south portion some early corn is just coming up. Very little cotton has been planted, but prepara tions for a rather large crop are ad- vancing rapidly, and a large amount of fertilizers has been spread. A large crop of tobacco is also contem plated; plants in beds appear to be abundant in many counties, but are generally small; in several counties plants are thin and a scarcity in the supply is threatened. The improve ment in wheat continues, but plants are not spreading rapidly; wintoi oats are so nearly a failure that the land will be largely put into spring oats or corn. Spring oats have come up nicely, and look well, seeding con tinuqs in the west. Rye is fairly promising. Truck crops are backward, but have fortunately escaped many serious damage by frost; May peas, beans and cabbage plants are doing well and asparagus is nearly ready to cut; the crop of irish potatoes will he large, as planting is advanced even in the ex treme west portion. The preparation of gardens has been slow. While some reports speak of considerable damage to peaches by frost, the abundant bloom remaining seems to indicate that an abundant fruit crop may yet be obtained; apples are just coming intqa blomasfwor h h mafr mahmhm into bloom as far west as McDowell county; without further injury by frost the strawberry crop will be large and of good quality. Pastures are starting into growth very slowly in the extreme west. Mecklenburg Presbytery. Monroe, Special.—MecklenbUTg Pres bytery met here Tuesday morning in the fine, new Presbyterian church.

Sir. Tayier is well equipped for the post. To begin with he hails from protection head quarters; ho represents the McKinley constituency, No man was closer than he to the ifite President iu confidence and esteem, NO man has a better right to speak for McKiniey. In his speech of fifteen minutes be fore the recent conference of House BeptibIicans on the subject of the pro posed sympathetic concessions to Ctjba Congressman Tayier spoke for McKinley. He took radical ’ground SgtfiUst any tariff reductions Whatso* fever on Cuban products, aiid in so doing ! quoted the views expressed to him personally by President McKinley on the 6th of June, 1901—namely: 11Agaifist afiy pltffi Hf reciprocity Which takes from tf single American Workingman his job," it was in reference to this declara tion- by President McKinley that the American Economist said in its issue- of July 5, 1901: The President believes in and fav ors the plan of reciprocity Os defined by Jiie Bepublicaii platform of .1900, 1Mii articles Wfiicii We dd fiot OtifSelveS produce.” He does not favor anything beyond that. He is distinctly and un equivocally opposed to that form of so-called reciprocity which diminishes iioiiie prbduetibu aud displaces AiUer- UAji iabor tfnd Wages through the larger admission of competitive for eign products. He does not want the reciprocity that takes from a single American workingman his job. The President has recently said so in un mistakable terms. The American Economist is prepared to vouch for the accuracy and authority of this state ment of President McKinley’s attitude on the subject of reciprocity," Congressman Tayler was our author ity for this statement, We did not then feel at iiberty to use his name iu that connection, but the seai of confi dence has been broken by his state ment before the House conference that on the day of his appearance befow the Industrial Commission as a wit ness representing the American Pro tective Tariff League he waited upon President McKinley and took counsel with him concerning the testimony ha was to give befcre the commission, and that the President then and there expressed in the most explicit and can did manner his view that reciprocity should be limited “to those things which we do not produce.” That was the McKiUiey platform Sn June, and it Was what McKinley meant and said, In express terms several times reiter ated, in his speech at Buffalo three month3 Inter. The McKinley platform of June tnd September of last year is the platform to-day of the men who stand with Bob- ert W.

Fortunately or unftfi'tofiStely,- accord ing as one looks froWi the' Aitiefican or Canadian standpoint, we are not with- oiit eSpericnce, and are not compelled to dwell iaereiy upon theories regard ing the operation Gf reciprocity treat ies with Canada. According; ts figures republished by our Treasury Depart ment last September Canada exported to the United States during the last year the old treaty of reciprocity was Sn force goods to the value Of $48,133,- 599, while Canadians took from tls In return hot quite half at many goods, or, to he exact, imports to the value of $23,439,115. It ia a notorious fact that our exports to Canada Were actually less that year than they were a dozen yedrS before during the fiscal year of 1834, before reciprocity with Canada was established, WiiiiS oar imports from Canada were nearly six titties as great as those of the fiscal year of 1S54, when reciprocity was not in force. A fact not to he l9st sight of by American farmers or by American leg islators is that the imports from Can ada to the United IlitateS under reci procity were very largely of natural products, farm produce and such other commodities as our people produce in abundance. This is not the reciprocity that American farmers want, certain ly, and the Sttme thing is undoubtedly true of VflriotIS other industries that might be mentioned, In the light Cf this experience it Will be a difficult thing for cur Canadian friends to demonstrate that we should open our markets to their goods on terms that will be acceptable to ISs and at the same time beneficial to them.—• Burlington (Yt.)

Of course lie' p’rotdsted his stalwart faith in protection, but by proposing some kind of a tilt at a schedule or two he gave the eager and hollcw-eyed Democrats a hint. If the Bepitblicans were to open up on tariff matters among themselves there might be “something doing'’ for the Demo crats. Right Side Wears Most, “The journals In street car trucks always wear out on the right side first,” sa'd an expert in traction me- chanics the other day. “That’s be- cause the majority of people are right- handed. This sounds funny, but it’s a fact. Eight-handed people involun tarily chojgse a seat on the right-hand side of .the car, and, most people stand" ing; up reach for a strap op the right. “Any conductor will tell you that the" right-hand seats always fill up before the seats on the left, and if you make it a point to count theinumber of persons occupying seats In a crowd ed car you'll almost invariably find that there are more people squeezed Into the right-hand seats than ln the left. This, with the majority of stand ing passengers holding onto Ohe right- hand straps,, throws most of the weight on the right wheels, and the extra friction grinds the right side journals down before those on the left are much worn.”—Kansas .City Jour- ■oai- M ii i ' To Eo Consider,',!. While legislating in Cuba’s behalf Congress should Hot entirely lose sight of the fact tiiat the Cfitii1C population of Cuba is but a miiiitm afid a Iutlfif and eliminating fuel, heavy clothing and other Northern essentials, the liv ing expenses are light. Michigan has a population of 2,500,000, and a score of other States in the Union each has more people than Cuba. .Congress should not legislate for the Cubans in any manner inimical to the interests of our own people. It will be well enough to lend Cuba a helping hand, but that helping hand should not hold a knife to mutilate our own vitals.—Grand Kapids (Mich.) Herald. A Step T ow ard F ree T rade. The only industry that would bo damaged is less than half the value of even our present market in Cuba. We are offered a largely increased market and the entire carrying trade.—Boston Commercial Bulletin. It is in accordance with the doctrine and policy of protection that any in dustry that has been established under a pledge of protection shall be butch ered for the benefit of other industries or other interests? When the time comes that protection is manipulated for the benefit of the strong and to the Injury of the weak the era of diversi fied Industries In the United States will pass away. Not only will no new Industry be established, but many of those we already have will die the death. The Commercial Bulletin idea of robbing Peter to’pay Paul is exactly In tune with the ludicrously ingenuous statement of an agricultural imple ment magnate at the National Reci procity Convention in Washington last November. “Yes,” said this gentle man; “we know that some industries would be injured, but not to the extent that our industry would be benefited!” This struck the delegates as so exqui sitely funny that from that moment the Kasson scheme of reciprocity was laughed out of the convention. , A Ifieans to an E nd. “Reciprocity knocks a hole in the. wall, throws down the top rails of the fence and undoes the work of the builder. Protection excludes, reciproc ity admits. The two things are anti thetical, opposite, contradictory ’ and quarrelsome. When we take up one we abandon the other ex vi termina.” —New York Times. Herein may be found the reason why every free trade journal in the United States is supporting reciprocity with might and main. Wiser and clearer beaded than-are the Republi can advocates of larger foreign ceejpe- tion, the free traders support reciproc ity as a means to an end. They know that once we enter upon-the program of handing out to foreigners special privileges In the home market we can not stop short of handing out all privil eges to all foreigners. They see In re ciprocity, whether with France, Argen tina or Cuba, the end of the system of protection. And they are right One ot the papers speaks of a Wor cester, Mass., inventor as the “father of the monkey wrench.” This would seem to complete the circuit, giving to the human.'race Simian posterity as well as Simian ancestry. - \* . Health will come with all its blessings to those who know the way, and it is mainly a ques tion o t right-living, with all the term implies, Irat the efforts which strengthen the system, the games which refresh and the foods which nourish are important, each in a way, while it is also advantageous to have knowledge of the best methods of promoting freedom from unsani tary conditions. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should he of the best quality and of known value, and the one remedy which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, is—Syrup of Figs—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. W ith a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient char acter and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrnp of Figs, gladness and comfort como to the heart, and if one would remove the torpor and strain and congestion attendant upon a con stipated condition of the system, take Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the aches and pains, the colds and headaches and the depression due to inactivity of the bowels. In case of any organic trouble it is well to consult a competent physician, but when a laxative is required remember that the most permanently gratifying results will follow personal cooperation with the beneficial effects of Syrnp of Figs. It is for sale by all reliable druggists. Prico fifty cents per bottle. The excellence of Syrup of Figs eornes from the beneficial effects of the plants used in the combination and also from the method of manufacture which ensures that perfect purity and uniformity of product essential in a perfect fhmily laxative. AU the members of the family from the youngest to the most advanced in years may use it whenever a laxative is uccded and share alike in its beneficial effects. We do not claim that Syrup of Figs is the only remedy of known value, but it possesses this great advantage over all other laxatives that it acts gently and pleasantly without disturbing natural functions, in any way, as it is free from every ob jectionable quality or substance.

The Old Liberty Bell in the Philadelphia Building awakens recollections of the early history and struggle of our ancestors for independence. The Exposition is a good one, and every one who can should go. . In Charleston, outside the Exposition, one can have a pleasant time visit ing old St. Michaels Church, the old Government building down near the wharf where Gen. VVash- sngton was entertained, and the Battei-y is a beautiful place, and one who is tired can rest under the shade, and drink in the sea breeze while watching the waters beat against the rock walls; and by no means should one fail to take round trip to Mt.

Itisa fact—a lamenta ble one -that nnder our present jury system, or, I might say, ‘,un der the present state of affairs.” that there is hardly a county in the State where a railroad company can get justice before the ordina ry juror. If it is not altogether from a feeling of predjudice, it is because this jury or that jury, in this case or that case, awarded large damages, we must or should do the same. I mean no reflec tion on the great bulk of our peo ple; their intentions and purpose are to do right, but without weigh ing the facts and seeing the injus tice, they follow the precedent of others—follow the public feeling and sentiments that have been worked up by certain classes. It is time to call a halt. It is high time to stop and consider the in justice that is inflicted on others, and see whither are are drifting. It shonld make no difference how much money a man or a company may have, or how pool- and hum ble a man may be—black or white —he or they ought to feel, When going into a temple of justice, that justice would be meted out to them. Imagine the] feeling of a party forced to go into a court of justice (so termed) and feel that there is no justice for them. Imagina tion can conctive of nothing worse, Eobbery t Yes, robbery, ii many instances, sanctioned by law- the same law that robs by the thousands will turn right around and send some poor darkey to the penitentiary for robbing-a hen roo3t— a theft of some 15 or 20 cents. Is-such right? ,It can’t be. Our people shonld, be educated to a sense of jnstice and sec that rail roads have their rights, the same as individuals. I don’t mean to say that railroads should be exon orated from negligence on their part; yet at the same time they should have equal rights before the law that a private individual or any other kind of a company or corporation would have. Now let ns see if this is the case. Iu the first place there is no set of people throttled and hampered by law like railroad companies— fieight and fare rates regulated by law, a railroad commission at their heels all th e time; unlike other en terprises and other business regu lated, by competition, supply and demand. Suppose our law-makers should fix a price for you newspaper men —should say what fees a lawyer and doctor shonld charge, what rates a hotel or livery men should have, fix prices for all of our work ing-men—the carpenter, mechanic, the blacksmith, farm wages—in fact, wages of all kinds, what; the farmers should have for their farm products, what percent merchants shonld sell their goods for, what price the cotton-mill men,saw-mil men and all other manufacturing establishments should have for their produets; what a wail and cry would go up throughout this country! Our law makers would never live to get’ home. Now take the responsibilities of owners or opeiators. Let us sec how that works. Here is the far mer. He starts his team to mill. By the carelessness of the driver the team runs away, the wagon turns over, horses ruined, driver crippled or killed. Why not claim damages from the former) He sbirts his plow-boy out; the plow catches a root, handles thrust against the side of the boy, a rib or two broken. Why not make the farmer pay for it Here are the operatives in the mills, tobacco factories, the mines, the workshops, saw-mills, shingle mills, cotton gins, threshing-ma- chiues, etc and nearly all or quite all of the accidents traced- to care ic-ssnes«.

Not an industry of any kind will be.free from it. I have no connection with rail roads or railroad officials; in. fact I know but very few personally. Those that I do know seem to be human beings, and I thought per haps they had souls. I sttw a criti cism against Mr. H. A. Page’s letter by some one, stating “the facts set forth by him were true, but it would have been better for some one other than a railroad man to have spoken of the wrongs they were subjected to.” Pray tell me who will speak for the aggrieved ones unless they themselves dot the poor farmer has no man to champion his rights but. tne poli- cian about election times. It is always expected of the man who has his fiingers squeezed under the corner of the fence to do • the yel ling and ealling for help. The op pressed have a right to speak for themselves. If they submit tame ly, people would naturally think they were getting whht they de served . I have thought the reason our newspapers have not taken up a crusade against such is that in nearly every county in the State there are classes of the kind men tioned on the dockets, and to con demn the general principle of it they feared would be construed as predjudicial to that particular case I am glad to see the stand The Post has taken in behalf of justice. I know of but one solution of it. Letthepeopleall over the State rise up in their majesty and con demn it. JUSTICE. Carolina has one able representa tive at least in the upper branch of congress in the person of the se nior Senator, If she is wise she will return- Senator Pritchard to succeed himself in the high office which he at present so abiy fills. It is more than a matter of mere politics. TheintereBtofthe state itself is involved. Carolina can not afford to discard a tried, trust ed influential and experienced man for some wide-mouthed dema gogue or political fledgling. She wants a representative whose in fluence is felt in the halls of con gress, aud who has power to ad vance her. interests.—Elizabeth City. North Carolina. W ields A Sharp Ax.

San THE QUESTION OF VOTING We print elsewhere a communi cation from a correspondent at Windsor, Va., in reply to au edi torial article in a iecent issue of The Times on the suffrage que»> tion, which calls for a word of ex planation from us. Our corres pondent seems to have, gotten the impression that Tlie Tiines isin fa vor of making a hard anil fast rule providing that every good citizen shall vote and that the election of ficers shall decide as to who is a good citizen and who is not. The bare suggestion of such a thing is utterly repugnant to our view, and no one who has read The Times closely needs to be told this. We have more than once affirmed that our objection to the famous “ un derstanding clause,” so popular in the South, is that it puts it abso lutely into the power of the regis trars to pass upon the qualification of a voter. Such a power is un- Democratic and dangerous and is sure to lead to abuses. If employ ed to exclude negroes from the suf frage in time it would be employ ed by designing politicians against white men, against all who did not bow to the machine. We want to see no such device adopted in Vir ginia. We believei as we said before, ihat every good citizen who is fit and qualified to vote ought to be permitted to vote, but we recog. nize the fact that it is very hard to make a Constitutional provision to this end which will not admit to suffrage some who are not qualified to vote aud exclude others who are. There has never been a good law, perhaps, which did uot some times work hardships to individ uals. The Times believes that if the constitution should contain a clause providing that- all persons who have paid their poll tax two years in advance, and being other wise qualified, shall be entitled to vote, the shiftless negro vote would be almost entirely eliminated and very few desirable voters of either race would be excluded. Under such-a provission the Constitution would disfranchise nobody. If men failed to qualify themselves, it would be through theii own act of neglect. Under such a provis ion all good citizens would be per mitted to vote, and we believe that with a few exceptions, all good cit izens would vote, whereas the shiftless and indiferent class would not take the forethought and the tronble to qnalify themselves, —Richmond Times.

IV ' I 3 3 RAM’S HORN BLASTShim to give way?WILL THEY FORCE )N SPEAKS Great Feature of the Big Reuaion of Confederate Veterans, common fo rm ally opened REUNION A MATTER OF BISTORY QeoeraI Gordon, Who Was Twenty Hours Latey Came In During the Proceedings and Was Qiven a Great Ovation. The real opening of the big Confed erate Veterans’ reunion at Dallas, Tex as, took place on Tuesday. The event of the day was the address of Gen. Gordon. It was received with the great est enthusiasm by the hosts of old sol diers present. .GENERAL GORDON’S SPEECH. General Gordon’s address was as follows: Governor, Mr. Mayor, Gentlemen of Committees and My Fellow Country men of Texas: How shall I tell you what -we think of Texas, of her great hearted people, her broad nraries and still broader hospitality? I but poorly express the thoughts of these veterans when I say that whether we lookat her geographically, historically or senti mentally, Texas is about the biggest thing we ever saw. She can raise cattle enough on her wild lands to furnish all the canned beef for the armies of Uncle Sam, John Bull and the German !um pire, and still have fertile lands enough left, if planted in the Iicocy staple, to make more bales of cotton than are now produced by America and Egypt combined; or, if planted in grain crops, to feed every man, woman and child in the Union.With such a territory—almost equal to that of the original thirteen States which threw off the yoke of bondage and wrenched freedom from the great est of empires—this great Common wealth holds today within its borders a population devoted to those same imperishable principles — a population which, if the occasion should come, would wage another seven years war in defence of this inherited republic, its flag, its laws and its regulated'liber ties. In the few moments in which propri ety permits me to speak, I dare not trust myself to make more than the briefest allusion to Texas history. I cannot survey even the coniines of that vast field, made so rich and so inspir ing by the great deeds of her martial 6ons. Indulge me just long enough to say that from her birth, through ail her costly experiences as a struggling republic, and through subsequent wars, the sons of Texas, whenever summoned to the sacrifice, have poured out their blood freely on liberties' altars. From Goliad and San Jacinto, from Buena Vista and Scerro Cordo, from Chicka- jnauga’s hills and the shivered rocks of , the Round Top at Gettysburg, from the charge of her cowboys and rough riders up the wire girdled steeps of Santiago, from every battlefield made memorable by American valor comes the thrilling answor of Texas to free dom’s call. No wonder she has inspired her neighbors beyond the RIo Grande with such wholesome respect for. her powers. No wander that the Lone Star is so dazzling to Mexican eyes. You know that the Mexicans claim they could stand up fairly well against the whole of the United States if it were not for Texas.But not only is Texas great historically and great fn her geographical expanse, but she can do more in a small space than any other country in Cie world. As proof, I point you to IitUe Spindle Top, where a few acres can pour out of the greasy throats of boiling, thundering gushers, oil .enough to light e.very hamlet in the land, and at the same time, if government experiments are successful enough, oil to kill all the mosquitoes from the Jersey shore to the Mexican border. Again Texas has the biggest cities of their size in ail the universe. Shall I illustrate by naming one? The throb bing heart of every veteran in this as sembly has already answered with the name of Dallas—beautiful Dallas, hold ing now in her loving embrace more people from the outside than she has population inside. And who are those men whom she so tenderly and so lov ingly embraces? What this outpouring ofc her people? Is some Prince Henryi or some potentate of kingly lineage pausing in her streets? There are no ?rinee Henrys here—no brothers, no other kin of the great Kaiser. But there ere men here, who to your thought are greater than Princes, grander than potentates. Here are men of the purest and most royal lineage—men in whose VeinB runs the blood of the founders of this mighty republic, whose mission It Is to light up for struggling humanity the highway to freedom. Here are the veterans of the proudest of armies— hoary with age and ennobled by sacri fice, who by their own individual hero ism in the bloodiest of wars, by their self-ccntrol and self-reliance through the long crucifixion which followed, have won the admiration of all men who honor manhood and love liberty.In a word, you, my fellow countrmen of Texas, believe, and you have a right to believe, that every soldier vlio bravely fought in the Confederate army and remained loyal to its memories, as.j well as loyal to the republic, is a Prince In his own right and by his own achievement. You believe, and you have a right to believe, that every* gray cap that ever sheltered the head of a faith ful Confederate private, is a nobler crown than that worn ffy any poten tate on earth. But I am trespassing and must close with the affectionate greet ings of these soldiers to this great State and glorious city. Our hats are off to both, and so long as life lasts we will hold you in loving embrace. Reeves Pa~doned. Havana, By Cable.—Governor Gen eral Wood issued an order pardoning W. H. Reeves, who was recently sentenced to ten years, imprisonment and to pay a fine of $35,516 fpr complicity In tho Cuban postal frauds. Reevds was liberated at once. General Wood says he pardoned Reeves because he was a witness for the Stato. 2bo Killed By Earthquake. Guatemala City, Guatemala, By Cable.—The descriptions v/hich are be ing received here of the result of the earthquake shocks which were general throughout Guatemala Friday, Satur day and Sunday, show that Solotata, Amatitlan, Santa Lucia and San. Juan were badly damaged, and that Quesal- tenango was prtly- obliterated. Fia- added to the horrcs at the last named place. Two hundred persons were killed; mostly women, and many people were injured. . -At the. capital three phtlrches were.slightly damaged.! Closing Scenes of Veterans* Gather ing at DaIIaf • Dallas, Tex., Special.—The last sees- sion of the United Confederate Vet erans’ reunion was called to order by the commander-in-chief, Gen. John B. Gordon, Chaplain Jones being absent, Gen. Gordon led in prayer. A resolu tion, bidding Gordon "a loving fare well,” was adopted with cheers. Gen. Gordon said in response:“My Comrades: I have been touched many times and every year this old Confederate heart grows more tender and loving as the end approaches, when the end comes I want your hands to bury me and on my tomb I would have written, ‘Here lies a Con federate.’ ” A vote of thanks was given to Dallas and the State of Texas for their, hospitality. Gen. Gordon embraced the opportunity to make a plea for the monument to Southhem women. It was a day of parting, and the question, “I wonder if we wiil meot again,” was heard from many lips and many an aged head shook dubiously in answer. Yet the day was not given over to the sorrow of parting entirely. Every effort was made by tho committee in charge to offset the gloom which it was known would come when good byes were said. Bands played as they never had played before. “Dixie” and the “Bonnie Blue Flag” monopolized the programme and cheers in the audi torium where the convention was be ing held. To embrace the attractions for the last day, a feast unique in the history of reunions was prepared. Six buffalo, brought from a ranch famous among cattlemen the county over, were made martyrs to the cause of a Southern barbecue. Thursday, six immense pits were dug and as many heaping beds of coal produced under the direction of an expert in the barbecue business. AU night long the immense carcases slowly roasted and it was noon before the exacting taste of the chief was satis fied. The carcasses had been roasting for 36 hours and were done to a turn. An immense crowd witnessed the cook ing and now a watery lot of mouths opened when the meat, fresh from the coals, was brought in. All day the streets were crowded with people going to the depots. Freight trains were held on distant sidings to allow of the freest possible movement of the passenger trains. By tomorrow morning the greatest crowd ever entertained in the history of Dallas will have dwindled to .a few * thousands. Little complaint was heard. Many had suffered some inconvenience and discomfort, but it is believed to nave been no fault of the men in charge of the reunion. An estimate of the number of visitors is practically impossible, but the best judgment places the number between 125,000 and 150,000. An average of 17,000 meals a day has been served at the mess tables of Camp Johnson and this was slightly reduced today, o^ing to the fact that many special guests were allowed to partake bf the buffalo meat.Missisjippians held a reception dur ing tho day at the camp. Among the speakers were ex-Governor Robert W Lowry, of Jackson; Gen. S. *D. Lee, of Vicksburg; ex-Congressman Patrick Henry, of Brandon; Gen. B. Z. Whits, of Meridian; Judge John Rogers, of Fort Smith, Ark., and Private John Al len, of Tupelo.Gen. Gordon was called away and left on a late train for home. Gen. Moor man, the adjutant general, however, will remain for the final orders, the chief of which will be a resolution of thanks to the people of Texas and Dallas, particularly. Before leaving. Gen. Gordon said: “It was a marvelous spectacle to witness, forty years aftur the war, the devotion manifested to these old Confederates, many thous ands of whom were fed and furnished with sloeping berths during the whole time without one dollar’s cost to them selves. The whole affair was a marvel of successful management, of good or der and generosity.”The twelfth annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans Friday af ternoon passed into history. The boom of a cannon and the souding of “taps” by the buglers, and Camp Albert Sidney Johnston wa3 no more. The last delegations of veterans filed out of the fair grounds and workmen began strik ing the tents. Tlie Sons of Veterans’ convention also adjourned after a short session, devoted to the passage of reso lutions of thanks. THE PARADE OFTHE VETERANS Inspiring Scene When Old Wearers of the <3ray Lined Up. The great parade of the Confederate Veterans at Dallas, Texas, on Thurs day was an inspiring and imposing affair.“It was as fine a parade as I ever saw at a reunion,” said GeneralGor- don and General Moorman echoed this expression. There was no business session of the association, a recess Tuesday having been taken till Friday. The parade is thus described:Dallas, Tex., Special.—With their blood stirring to the same old airs which bade them do and die for their eause two score years ago, the veteran remnant of the Confederate army represented at the Dallas re union marched through the streets of the city Thursday, the object of wildly cheering throngs. The day was a holiday in the city, all public buildings being closed between the hours when the parade was passing. Thou sands of visitors, coming for the sole purpose of seeing the old soldiers, were added to the multitude al ready on the streets. That the weight of years was on most of them was apparent In furrowed cheeks and snowy hair, in baiting steps and rounded shoulders; but that the old pride of achievement and duty well done remained was also to be seen in Ae dogged persistence with which they followed the old flag and threw off their years to the strains of "Dixie.” Many a veteran who in other days exhibited a brilliance of execution which added much to the success of the strategies of Confederate leaders, was compelled to drop out of line before the march was over. The line of march, covering the down town district was a packed mass of humanity. The crowd was far and away the largest that the, city has ever entertained. Windows were bright with the faces of women and girls with waving handkerchiefs and flags and the sidewalks were almost impassable by reason of the conges tion. The decorations, by reason of the splendid weather recently, were is bright as on the first day. AU the available police were kept busy trying to keep the crowd off the streets, but with ill success. The throng was far too large to admit of control by any ordinary force. The spectators were for the most part orderly and many were forced into the street by pressure behind them on the sidewalk. YORK’S Empire State at Charleston Exposir tion. - AFTER THE BEEF TRUST. Increase of Etonded Debt New York, Special—Stockholders of the United States Steel Corporation received Friday the circular let ter of the corporation, setting forth the exact terms under which it is proposed to retire $20,000 of 4 per cent, preferred stock, an dissue $250,- 000,000 of 5 per cent bonds, thereby increasing the bonded debt from $300,000,000 to $550,000,00. Tornados in the West. Joplin, Mo., Special.—A tornado struck this city at 4:15 p. m. Friday. Four fatalities are reported and many persons were injured. Meagre reports from Webb City and Carterville, indi cate great damage. The damage in this city is estimated at- $50,000. Houses were blown away and the city strewn with wreckage. Stores suf fered heavily from broken plate glass. The loss is placed at $200,000. The worst fury o fthe storm was felt in the suburbs west of Joplin. Two dead and five fatally injured have been reported.It is feared that the email mining camps at Central City and Cave Springs, four miles west’of here, have suffered much loss, as apparently they were in the path of the storm. Paine Not Guilty. Washington, Special.—The Navy De partment has received the findings of the court-martial, headed by Rear Ad miral Cooper, which tried -James A. Paine, a blacksmith aboard the United Stites steamer Cincinnati fo tho kill ing of Agnes Williamson, a water tend er on the same ..vessel, while the Cincinnati was lying.Oif Charleston, a few weeks ago.

New York, Spicisl.-Officials of th< American Cotton Oil Company Viii neither affirm nor deny the report til a the incorporation in New Jersey o" th American Cotton Produce Company ; the forerunner of a ' plan to combifi- their company with the Virginia-Carc Iina Chemical Company. The new corporation has a nomine capital of $8,000, but it is said' a hold ing company, will be organized as sooi as it has been determined what com panics-are to enter the combine. • " Attorney General Knox Finds Cause For Action. Washington, Special.—Attorney Gen eral Knox Thursday made the following statement regarding the so-called: beef trust: “On April 4th, this Department di rected W. A. Day, Esq., of Washington, in his capacity as special assistant to the Attorney-General, to examine into- as far as practical, the public charges- to the effect that a combination of the large meat dealers of the United States had been effected contrary to the provisions of the laws of the United States.. This preliminary examination resulted in instructions to Mr. Day and Mr. Bethea, United Statos attorney at Chi cago, on April 7, to prosecute simulta neously in Chicago and the East, a more particular examination into the allegations and proofs alleged to exist In support thereof. “From their reports I am satisfied, that sufficient evidence is in hand upon, which bills in equity for an injunction! can be framed to restrain the combination mentioned from further proceeding under their agreements, which clearly appear to be in restraint of in- ter-State trade. I have, therefore, in compliance with the law which pro vides that ‘it shall be the duty of the several district attorneys of the United States in their respective districts, unuer the direction of the Attorney General, to institute proceedings in equity to prevent and restrain viola tions of this act, directed the district attorney at Chicago to prepare a bill for an injunction against corporations; and persons who are parties to the combination mentioned, to be filed in the United States Circuit Court for the northern district of Illinois.” GOVERNOR ODELL MAKES ADDRESS New Yorkers Given a Royal Recep- tion.in Ihe Southern City-A Oreat Occasion. Young flan Drowned. Macon, Ga., Special.—J. H. Hough, Jr., son of the manager of the Man- chesteh Cotton Mills, was drowned in the Ocmulgee Friday evening while trying to rescue a floating batteau. The companions of Hugh were on the bank and saw him go" down. He gave no warning. The body has not yet been recovered. Prices of Stoves flay Advance. Chattanooga, Special.—A. meeting of the Southern Stove Manufactur ers’ Association was held to discuss conditions in the South. The recent sharp advances in iron and increased wages being paid to molders were discussed and it was agreed that should iron advance further an ad vance in the price of stoves will be made. However, no action was taken at the meeting. Business conditions were reported to be very layorable throughout the South and the manufacturers present expressed the hope that conditions will remain such that no advar.ne in the price of stoves will be necessary. Port of Eiitry to Be Moved. Washington, Special.—The ways and means committee ordered a favorable report on the bill of Representative Mc Call, of Massachusetts, to refund the taxes upon logacies for the ,use of re ligious, literary, charitable or educa tional institutions or for the encouragement of art, or for societies for the prevention of cruelty to children.

Baltimore, Special.—It was learned from a reliable source late Friday that Congressman Amos J. Cummings of New, York, is critically ill, from pneumonia, at the Church Home, in this city. It is ,understood that his recovery is extremely doubtful.. - The baseball season now draws near, The -bleachers soon will roar, Likewise that-piping voice we’ll hear; Hqy! Mister, wot’s de . score ?” Charleston, S. Cv SpeciaI-The broad veranda overlooking Lake Juanita and the open court, doorways and windows of the New York building at the expo sition grounds, were crowded Wednes day by visitors from the Empire State and the South to celebrate New York Day and hear Governor Odoli speak Mr. Mead, president of the Now York commission, presided and President Wagner and Director General Averill, of the exposition, bade the visitors wel come. Governor Odell was received with great applause and it was some time before he was allowed to speak. He said: “It is our duty as citizens of the va rious States of our Union to ernestly, patriotically and without prejudice or partisanship, support our government and show to the people of the world that while we may differ upon the fea tures of governmental policy, our re spect for our flag and our Iovo for our native land are greater than partisan ship and broader than State lines. "The prosperity and good fame of the State depend upon its oquitable and just treatment of all classes and ill in dividuals. And the desire of the most humble to contribute to the well-being of the State should be as cordially welcomed and his interests as thoroughly protected as those of the most learned scholar or the multi-millionaire. Taxa tion without representation, which fired the blood of our forefathers, is a prin ciple which lies dormant in the minds of our citizens an"! unequal or unjust taxation will be just as strongly resent ed today, not perhaps with the bullet, but by that more potent weapon in the hands of freeman, the ballot. Justice should be measured out equally to all. Rights should not be accorded to corporations that are denied .to the individual. Both should bo permitted to pursue their proper functions within the limitations of our laws, and both should -be-protected in doing so. “Your interests are ours. Through the golden gates of commerce of our greater metropolis we offered yon mar kets for the products of your fields and the skill of your mechanics. Cotton is no longer king, but humanity and the love of our fellowmen are the controlling forces which make our great re public command not only the respect of the natives, but the respect of the civi lized world.” Addresses were made by Speaker Nixon, of the New York General As sembly, and Senator Ellsworth, and the New York building was then formally turned over to the exposition authorities by President Meade.Immediately after the exercises, Governor OdelI and party repaired to the Woman’s building, where a luncheon was given by the woman’s department. The night's banquet was a brilliant af fair, and was given to Governor Odell at the St. John, by the New York com mission. While the banquet was in progress the ladies of the New York party attended a reception at the resi dence of Mrs. Andrew Simonds, on South Battery. During the ceremonies at the New York building, one of the exposition of ficials in introducing Governor Odell, said that if “we had to have a Repub lican President and President Roosevelt could not be nominated, Governor Odell was the man for the place.” Again at the lucheon at' the woman's building, Governor Odell was referred to as “a possible President of the United States” He replied significantly that he ardent ly hoped to be a delegate to the con vention that would nominate President Roosevelt for re-election. He left here on the Southern train at 11 o’clock tonight. The members of his staff and the Nev/ York delegation will remain in the city until tomorrow. Minor Mention.

RK4N I M FA BM m G AND TRUSTS SOME GOOD IDEAS ON MILK, FRUIT TURNIPS AND TARIFF. S 'IHay Trust* Are JTot the Besult of a Pro tective FoIicy-The Standard Oil Com pany Deals In an Unprotected Article —No TInkerIns WitU the Tariff. Alpha Messer proposes tinkering with the tariff as a remedy for trusts. In the first place, a trust Is not neces sarily an evil. I onca heard J. H. Hale, of this State, say he had seen carloads of fruit from California and the Mis sissippi Valley, passing each other in the Rocky Mountains. He said if the fruit producers could form a combina tion—trust, with a head that could keep posted as to the markets, there would be a vast saving in freights, with less liability of loss to producers, while the consumer, getting his fruit from the nearest point to where it was grown, would be better served. Every one who has seen half a dozen milk peddlers on one street, sometimes two stopping at the same house to deliver to different tenants, knows that if the farmers could trust each other and form a trust, the milk could be deliv ered at half the expense. In the second place, trusts are not dependent on the tariff. Everybody knows that the Standard Oil Company deals in an unprotected article, and, in a country like ours no trust can he maintained for any great length of time that raises the price above a le gitimate profit. That the trust saves money by doing away with the ex pense of sending out “drummers,” with agents’ commissions, as well as freight, may be true, but the consumer does not suffer on that aeecount. I am quite aware that the head of a trust may get very rich. A man on a farm doing his own work with but one pair of hands, will not become a mil lionaire. Our friend, J. H. Hale, has sufficient executive ability to set twen ty-five or thirty men at work, but ten cents per day profit on each man’s labor woxild be hardly a safe margin. The man that can manage the work of a thousand men and get ten cents profit from each gets $100 per day, and we eLvy him, but if ninety-nine out of 100 of us were put in his place, we should be in an insane asylum or poorhouse inside of a year. When a trust proposes to furnish -something at a price it names, and threatens to re sort to mob law if any one proposes to compete at the same or any other price the State should interfere, but so long as the field is open it is a diffi cult matter to meddle with. If Mr. Messer can trade turnips at fifty or even twenty-five cents per bushel, for a suit of clothes, ho can pay almost any price for the clothes. Neither he nor any other New Eng land farmer can profitably grow a dol lar’s worth of anything to send.across the ocean, and if he could the Ameri can mechanic buys a hundred dollars’ worth of American food products where the foreign laborer buys a dol lar’s worth. If he will study the ques tion it is simply one of published sta tistics, he will fnd that "hard times” in this country for more years that he and I are old, have been when our manufactories were idle and we were buying foreign goods. New England farms; will appreciate in value just as soon as Unde Sam has no more farms to give away or sTri- gate and the driving a few thousand men, now working in mills and buying farm products, out onto farms to com pete with us as producers, would not help us much. In any legitimate way of fighting trusts that are inimical to the consumer I am with Mr. Messer, tut this gener ation has had its fill of monkeying with the tariff as a remedy for real or fan cied evils.—R. s. Hinman, ia the New England Farmer. I Lajcie Taken Out of the Game. Baltimore, Special—While the second half of .the eighth inning of Wednes day’s American League games was be ing played here, Manager Mack, of tht Athletics,'received a ’ telegram from Philadelphia, stating that the court hag issued a temporary injunction restrain- JSS -J-aKit' tr°ni playing ,for five daj-> While Mr. Mack, was not advised t> kajojg1 out of; the game?- he de cloed, to do Eu pending a conference VithoounseL Pxoteeiion For tlie South* Down in New Orleans it has been the Democratic custom to denounce protection as “robbery” cxcept in its application to the sugar industry. N ow there is a change of tone and a muf fling of the “robbery” cry. The Pica yune says: “The Southern States, still Democratic, but rapidly becoming great manufacturing communities, have some need of taiiff protection. Here, then, -they find necessary a change of policy, with no change of principle. Samuel J. Randall, of Phil-, adelphia, one of the ablest and sound- ; est of tbe Democratic leaders of his day, was in. favor bf a tariff because he represented a great manutacturtog State and city. It, therefore, comes about that the Democratic party in the South must devise its policy to suit tbe change In conditions, while It stands firmly upon its great princi ples. The holding up of Randall as a guiding light of the Democracy on the tariff question shows that times have changed, and for the better.— Rochester Democrat-C-hronicle. Expressed H13 Gratitude.

I . Free Traders More Than Ever B.enttJpon Abolfshins Tariff Protection. The campaign of the Free Trade League must be looked upon as some thing more than a mere academic dis cussion. Unless the movement be vigorously combatted from tlio start, we may yet have another period of in dustrial disturbance caused by sub jecting our financial system anew to the turmoil of party strife, and all the evils of the old agitation will return to plague us. It is to be noted that the League will not attack the protective system directly. The former agitation was conducted under the specious title, “Tariff reform,” and tlie new cam paign is to be waged by similar tactics. The Boston correspondent of the Springfield Republican says the special subjects which the League proposes to consider in the coming season are the tariff in the tropics and reciprocity, especially with' Canada. It is believed that a considerable number of Repub- cans can be brought over to favor reci procity, and that by their aid and tlmt of the Democrats it will be possible to wear away many of tbe protective features of the protective tariff and so bring about divisions in the Rexiublicari party itself. It is but a short time since we bad ample experience of the results of in trusting free trade doctrinaires and Democratic politicians with the work of framing a tariff. That experience can hardly have been forgotten by the people, so that the chances of success for a free trade movement at this time are slight, but none the less the new agitation may prove dangerous. Reciprocity as defined by Republican platforms is a wise policy, but unless tbe people are watchful it will not be easy to confine reciprocity to that defi nition. Several of the so-called reci procity treaties now before the Senate threaten some of the greatest interests of California, and should new ones be arranged they might be as dangerous. Once more, then, tlie people must rally for the defense cf American industry. Its toes are again on the war path.— Sau Francisco Call. . Hiiralini;. When a Democratic Administration had a chance it destroyed reciprocity as a menace to “tariff reform;” as “a scheme for bringing foreign countries under the shadow of our protective policy.” AU this chatter in Democra tic organs, now about reciprocity 93 another word for free trade is hum bug, and the men who write it with the same pens with which ten years ago they denounced reciprocity as a twin of protection know it. The free trade faction in this country is just as much afraid of reciprocity now as it was in the Harrison Administration, and the chances are that when the is sue is drawn a great majority of Dem ocratic Senators will vote against the pending arrangements as they voted to destroy the earler treaties in I SO I, —Boston Journal, SCome f ir s t. - Some men, most all free traSers, axe fools enough to argue that because Germany and a few other countries do not like our tariff we must materially modify if not replace it. Well, it makes no difference whether Germany likes it or not, as long as protection enriches our country, develops our re sources, builds up manufactories, gives more employment and better wages to our people, and furnishes us the best market In the world right here at home for our products, we will maintain protection. We are legislat ing for the United States, not Ger many, EnglSmJ or any other foreign country.—London (Ky.) Echo, - KothlDR Else IiOft. It is not at all surprising that Dem ocracy should talk of going back to free trade. The old critter never would profit from experience, and her only way of locomotion is to “advance back ward.” She has a heap of ups and downs. So many reverses have a lioul driven her to insanity.. If she don't show -signs of improvement by 190* there may. have to be a guardian ap pointed for the old lady.—Sparta (N. C.) News. 1VvfomIliar Ha) Fotlnd Two Blblea. Two valuable bibles have been dis covered in Wyoming among old papers In the last week. One was printed in Gennany In 1734, sent to John Vroom of Sawlins with a box of heirlooms froni bis family’s former home in Amsterdam. ' The other is a copy of tbe celebrated "Breeches. Bible,” found in a case oi forgotten books by Judge Alfred Heath of this town.- This is an English @ibl< printed in’ 1606. - It is bound In oak boards, covered with leather ai^d re inforced with h«avy brass clamps. The leaves are yellow with age, but the printing and numerous illustrations are still perfectly legible. It contains the old Testament, the Apocrypha, 8 table of proper names, the Psalms, the Lord's prayer,. the Commandments, and the Canticles, all set to iiiusic. The feature of the book that makes it val uable is the following verse: "Anjl. they sewed figge tree leaves'to- gether and made themselves breeches.” Few copies o£ this edition are known tohe lneiistence. -. • 1 EAitS ^ j Stress „, strong. **3 A TOipc15. cake.

Has I tSOO People, an d Is L ocated In - sid e a N avy Y ard. Tho existence of a singular town is brought to notice by the introduction of Senator Mallory of Florida of a bill to provide public schools, one for white, the other for colored, children In the town of Warrington, Fla. The reference of the bill to the Secretary of the Navy for his opinion on its merits is apparently unusual and un necessary, but it is really highly prop er, as the facts about Warrington show. At the close of the Civil War the business of the navy yard at Pensa cola was considerable, and the number of employes was large. Many of the persons working in the yard “squatted” upon the unoccupied land comprised within the'naval reservation, and ob tained permission from the department to build homes thereon. The number of home builders increased even after the temporary activity of the navy yard was succeeded by the lethargy that came over the navy and lasted for nearly twenty years. In time, the group of houses assumed proportions of a town; then' it took a name, and became Warrington. The Postoffice De partment recognized its rights, gave it a postoffice, which later it made a money-order office, and now the town has some 300 houses, six churches, sev eral stores, and a population of more than 1,500 persons. The commander of the Pensacola navy yard rules the town; the inhabi tants pay no taxes, and have no votes. The place is kept In order by the cap tain of the ward, and “policed” as the rest of the naval reservation is. The bureau of yards and docks installed and maintained the electric lights and the sewer system, though very few of the inhabitants are employed by the government. By far a greater part of those who thus enjoy the nation’s care are engaged in fishing or In farming for a living. Now Senator Mallory thinks that In addition to providing light, clean streets and sanitation of the most im proved type, the government should also provide schools for the children of tlie untaxed dwellers in Warrington, and accordingly introduced his bill. THE “DRUIDESS RING” RAGE. P arisian L adles ot P asbion T ak e Up A nother F ad. Another new trinket is one to which the extraordinary name of the ‘'Druid- ess ring” has been given. Mistletoe is all the rage this Christmas in Paris. The ring in question is accordingly made of two leaves of the plant imi tated in silver or pale gold. It should he explained that the mistletoe and Yuletide are not linked together by an ancient association of ideas in the Parisian mind. On the contrary, flor ists and jewelers have “rediscovered” this year the sacred “gui de chene” of the old Gauls and Britons. Hence it is not absurd to talk In Paris of mis tletoe having become “fashionable.” One authority states that “in the case of engaged couples, the bunch of mis tletoe presented to the girl by her fiance should invariably bs attached with a white satin ribbon.” Perhaps it ought to be further explained that the connection between the ancient plant and kissing is another associa tion of ideas unknown to the Parisian mind, which, indeed, would be shocked at the thought. ThS Draidess ring is the jewelers’ contribution to the pre vailing mistletoe fashion. It is not a mere ornament, but is supposed to be useful. From the ring, which is large enough to be easily slipped over the gloved finger, hang chains, to which are attached pencil, mirror, powdei puff, etc., and the innumerable similar trinkets which are so indispensable to the modem woman. The Philadelphia Ledger thinks that is regrettable that more of the Latin- American republics have not been ruled by men of the Diaz type. Mex ico bad a half century of revolution before the advent of Porflrio Diaz. Hia administration, covering nearly twen ty-five years, has brought tranquillity to the country. Life and property enjoy the protection of a strong gov ernment, republican iif form, with the succession Cf the presidency remain ing In Diaz probably until he wishes to relieve himself from the cares of office. The long rule ot such an ex ecutive would he a boon to South and Central American communities that present a more serious condition than "a dissolving view of anarchy.1’ Ask Tonr Dealer For Allen's Foot-Eaftet A powder.

Ninety-eighth Day-The session of the House was tame and without incident or event of public importance. The day was spent in routine work. SENATE. Ninety-eighth Day—Formal discussion of the bill temporarily to provide a government for the Philippine Is lands was begun in the Senate. Mr. Rawlins, of Utah, the leading minority member of the Philippine committee, opening the debate with a speech In opposition to the measure. He de nounced the bill as an unwarranted imposition upon the Filipinos declair- ing that it would establish one of the foulest oligarchies in the history of the world. He maintained that the Philip pine commission was given too great power by the bill and asserted that under its provisions,, the islands would be exploited for private gain. He wiii conclude his remarks tomorrow. While he was speaking two efforts were made to maintain a quorum, the second re sulting in a lively tilt among several Senators, Mr. Scott, of West Virginia, intimating that no argument that could be made upon the subject would influence any Senator. “We seem to have arrived at that point in our history,” said Mr. Raw lins, “where there are those who affect to believe that it is sedition to think and treason to talk. 'Cfod God’s sake let us keep silent until the war is over,* exclaims a peripatetic hero and graduate from the Philippines, who wants to make free speech treason, and to whom might give the Senator from Massachusetts, the benefit of clergy on account of his sympathy for a ‘superheated conscience.’ And if we are to believe him, with the approval of the President of the United States Congress no longer has to declare war. An Otis or a Chaffee is prepared to attend to this any day in the week, A few days ago a message eaihe to vs that Malvar, the last of the insurrectos, had surrendered. The next day it was announced that General Chaffee had de clared a new war and had dispatched an army to wage it against 2,000,000 of people' in the island of Mindanao. But mum is to be-the word, as long as there is any disturbance anywhere within our borders or in any one of the more than thousand islands beyond the seas. “This bill strikes its roots into and derives its support from that experience upon the army appropriation bill of 1901, known as the Spooner amend ment. The qualification of the abso lute power therein conferred, adopted at the instance of the Senator from Massachusetts, by this bill is eliminated. All property rights in the islands and the fate of their inhabitants are turned over to the control and dis position of the commission without any qualification of importance. “The commission may declare war and make-peace; raise armies and provide navies; regulate commerce with all sorts of discrimination between is lands and ports; Ievy- taxes without limit and without uniformity. It may coin money and regulate the value thereof, and may establish religion and punish those who do not conform to its tenets. It may destroy free'speech, and punish as an act of sedition the publication of the truth in regard to their administration. It can establish an inquisition; devise and apply methods of excruciating torture, compelling persons to be witnesses against themselves and disclose any information which the commission may desire to extort. It may practice any or all of the acts of tyra-,.ny which history has disclosed or genius may devise. “It is useless to say that this power will not be abused. Attention will be invited to some instances in the history of our relations with the islands showing the extent to which our repre sentatives have gone In acts of perfidy, injustice, oppression and cruelty.” Wireless Telegraphy. Washington, Special—Secretary Wil son has given instructions to Prof. Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau, to make an exhibition of the system of wireless telegraphy devised by the Weather Bureau, to other branches of the government service and tomrrow a test will be witnessed by General Greeley, chief signal officer of the army to be followed later by a test for the naval trial board. The exhibitions will take place near Roanoke Island, N. G. A Poultry Trust. Chicago, Special—The Record-Her- ald says: “Three firms practically have complete control of the poultry market. Through the ownership of two-thirds of all the poultry in the country they are said to be able to fix prices at will. The firms having control are: Armour & Co., Swift & Co., and Friebe & Semiter, of Bushnell11.” To Reclaim Everglades. Scientists claim that the soil ot the Everglades in Florida is the richest in the world, and would, if drained, pro duce marvelous crops of nearly any thing planted. It is proposed to reclaim this immense tract, which covers near ly 4,000 square miles, by buildng drain age canals to take off the water, and at the same time serve as a means of transportation between plantations. Contrary to the . general belief, the Everglades are healthful, the water 5c sweet and pure, and there is almost a total absence of fevers and epidemic diseases. The cost of preparing these lands for cultivation will be about $2.75 per acre. Governor OdeII at Charleston. Charleston, S. C., Special.—Wednes day was New York Day at the exposi tion.
