His thrust at the Mocksville editor, and what- the Journal’s editor lias to say iil.'out the respeetibility of the Bepuulican party in the South, is ar fetched, coming from sech a source. Belonging to a crowd that has done the dirty work your crowd have done iD order to carry elections, and who have stored Winchesters under the church to use on eic-tiou day, and who have rotten egred ministers of the gos- psi, and paraded the eastern part oi'thedtats with Guns and Eed Shirts, aml who have driven the Kcpnblican Sheviff of Forsythe county from the polls, and who at­ tempted to drive the Lieutenant Governor of yoni State from the court house in Winston to prevent his seeing the returns canvassed and all the other dirty, contempti­ ble things done by your crowd to jirevcnt a free ballot and a fair count should elose your mouth Mr. JonrnaIabont Kepnbiican respec- tibility. Get the beam out of ,your own eye, before you toother with the mote in your brothers eye. The “spout" ’ Editor of the Jour­ nal could better employ his time, than mating his little, contempti ble llu usts at us. You cannot de­ ny the truth of our assertions, and yon employ Italian assassi n’s meth- oJsof striking at us. It shows the kind of material of which you are made. The mateiial for mak­ ing gentlemen was exhausted be­ fore they siruck you. We notice that yon are com­ plaining and rnakiug charges against the Union Eepublican ahout certain things hurting Wins ton. Who is responsible for the conditions that have exided in Wiuston, the Rspublieau or the Democratic thugs? Teach your crowd good manuers, and honora hie conduct at election times; give every man entitled to vote to un dcrstand that he will be allowed to exercise this privilege without let or hindrance, inject a. little of that respeetibility into your crown, and note the chauge................... GET MAD W heu Frieuds TeU the T ruth: Many people become coffee top­ ers before they realize it, and would be angry if thus described even by a close friend......................... It- will pay anyone to examine carefully into whether or not cof­ fee has gained the mastery over them. A coffee toper may suspect that his or her ails come from cof­ fee drinking, but they will inva- ribly charge the disease to some other cause, for right down in the heart they realize it would be prac­ tically impossible to give up coffee, so they hope against hope that it does not hurt- them, b.ut it goes on with its work just the same and the result is complete collapse and nervous prostration, lasting some­ times for years, unless the poison that causes the disease is discon­ tinued There are hundreds of thousands of illustrations of the truth of this statement. Any person addicted to coffee can make the change from com­ mon coffee to Postum Food Coffee without trouble provided the Pos- tum is properly prepared so as to bring out the color, flavor and food value. It has a rich black brown color and changes to the golden brown when good cream is added. Thechange will work wonders in ar y one whose nervous system or stomach has been unbalanced or disturbed by coffee. Stand Like A Stone Wall.

There is one thing certain, and that is. that Chatham will be placed in the Democratic column this year. There is already enough aspirants, for the various offices if added to the Democratic vote ol Ismt election to give it a sound ma­ jority.—Post Correspondent. The above shows the condition existing all over N. Cl, if reports are true. An l yet our Democratic friends'have much to say about Republican Pie Eaters. The scram­ ble for office all over the State by our Democratic friends shows why the amendment was so necessary totheir happiness. The East is especially llush with' candidates, where the Red-shirters ivere so plentiful. EQUAL AND EXACT JUS­ TICE TO ALL MEN. The little Czar who presided at Mn Court, gave Yadkin County people somewhat similar doses. It seems to be a great and terrible crime for a Republican to get into a fight with ii Democrat.' At our court it meant C to 8 mouths on the roads or fines from $75.00 to $!50.00. A Democrat can take a guo and make an assault on peo­ ple, put a pistol in his pocket and go over to Forsythe County and make an assault upon a citizen of that county, aud a fine of $25.00 is BRffleient to atone for the offence. The rights and liberties of the people are iu great danger when tried before Judges who cannot discriminate between simple as- sauItand larceny. Whither are. ** drifting ? The poor man will 600U lie without a voice in thpgov- er“meut by being deprived of his 'ot«, aud then to be compelled to Pay heavy and nr reasonable fines (,r go to the roads is indeed a de­ plorable condition, confronting them. IVeare not defending crime, 01 those who violate the law should be punished, but not out of PtOportion to the Offence, or be- l°ud their ability to pay, or be Mced to go to the roads and be thus degraded.

' vb^ WINSTON, Ni C. 1 'i PRESIDENT PRESENT southern industrial President Roosevelt Talks to Cadets at Annapolis SPEAKS TO GRADUATING CLASS Outline ofthe Duty and Responsibil­ ity of the Men of the Navy — The Speech of Dr. Winston. Annapolis, Md., Special.—The spe­ cial train conveying President Roose­ velt and party to Annapolis to attend the graduating exercises at the Naval Academy, arrived here over the Penn­ sylvania Railroad. As the President alighted from the train he was re­ ceived by Superintendent Wainright and his aide, Lieutenant Seibmeier. A battalion of marines, under com mand of Captain Lucas, was drawn up at the station. The party proceed­ed in carriages to the Academy grounds. The President walked across the campus to where the cadets were lined up, and passing down the line, looked each cadet squarely in the face. He was then presented to the officers of the Academy by Comman­der Wainwriglit. While this was go­ ing on, the shore batteries fired the President’s salute of 21 guns. At the Bound of the bugle blast the cadets stacked guns and marched by fours to the chapel, where benediction was pronounced by the chaplain. In the meantime, the President had been es­corted down the aisle by Commander Wainwriglit, and was shown to his seat on the platform, the battalion of cadets, the officers and others, re­ ceiving the President standing.Commander Wainwright then intro­ duced Dr. George T. Winston, a mem­ ber of the board of visitors, who deliv­ ered a short address. He was loudly applauded when he referred to Dewey as the hero of Manila and Sampson the hero of Santiago, and at the con­ clusion of his Remarks was congratu­lated by the President. The gradu­ating class discarded their guns and accoutrements and advanced close to the platform. President Roosevelt then addressed them, his remarks be­ing frequently interrupted by ap­ plause. The President said in part: “In receiving these diplomas you become men who above almost any others of the entire Union are to carry henceforth the ever-present sense of responsibility which must come with the knowledge that on some tremen­ dous- day it may depend upon your courage, your preparedness, your keen intelligence and knowledge of your progression, whether or not the nation is again to write her name on the world’s roll of honor, or to know the black shame of defeat. We all of us earnestly hope that the occasion for war may never come, but if it has to come, then this nation must win and' the prime factor in securing victory over any foreign foe must of necessity be the United States navy. If the navy fails us then we are doomed to defeat, no matter what may be our material, wealth or the high average of our citizenship. It should, there­fore, be an object of prime importance for every patriotic American to see that the navy is constantly built up and above all that it is kept to the highest point of efficiency both in ma­terial and in personnel. It cannot be too often repeated that in modem war and especially in modem naval war, the chief factor in achieving triumph is what has been done in the way of thorough preparation and in training before the beginning of the war. It is what has been done before the out­ break of the war that is all impor­tant. “Officers and men alike must have the sea habit; officers and men alike must realize that in battle the only shots that count are the shots that hit and normally the victory will lie with the side whose shots hit the of- tenest. Seamanship and markman- ship—these must be the two prime objects of your training, both for your­selves and for the men under you.” At the conclusion of his address and the distribution of the diplomas, the President requested that he be taken to the hospital where Cadet Emery S. Land, of Wyoming, a mem­ ber of the graduating class, was lying ill. Sitting up in bed, the sick boy received his diploma from the Presi­ dent, who made a few appropriate re­marks, in which he expressed the hope that he would soon be out. The President was then given an oppor­ tunity of witnessing the customary prank of the plebes throwing the grad­ uating class out of quarters, which af- fforded a great deal of. amusement. After lunch, the President and his party went aboard the torpedo boat Gwynn for a short trip on Chesapeake Bay, Squadron Anchored Off the Capes Old Point Comfort, Va., Special-The North Atlantic squadron is anchored just outside the Virginia Capes, where the battleships will be inspected by the naval board of inspection, headed by Admira I Dewey. The squadron will spend ten days target practice outside the Capes. The battleship Alabama came up to Old Point, reported the ar- rIYal ??, .^e ships in the capes, and after taking on the mail and provis­ ions for the squadron, proceeded back to the spot where the big fighters are anchored. The Cincinnati arrived in Hampton Roads from Galveston, Ten. and will remain here waiting sailing orders. Information Wanted. Washington, Special. — Representa­ tive Hay, of Virginia, introduced a res­ olution directing the Secretary of Wa; to inform the House as to the cost oi the army in the Philippines since May I, 1898; also the cost of maintaining the civil and military government in the island; the cost incidental to the insular service of the War Department and other items of cost connected with the occupation and possession- of the Philippines by the United States. Editor Britt Dead. Chicago, Special.—Adrian Britt, who it is said, was editor of the Jackson­ ville, Fla., Union in 1876, is dead here, and will be buried in the Potter’s field! unless his friends are heard from. He died Tuesday and his body was taken to the morgue and labelled “unknown.’ His identity was learned by detective; working on the postoffice robbery case. Britt had served two terms in the pen­ itentiary for robbing mail boxes. He was one time a magazine editor in New York and later a publisher in this city Hard drinking had made him a “leVee’ character. Raleigh to Tidewater. At a meeting of business men held recently at Raleigh, N. ^ C., $21,000 were subscribed for building the pro­ posed Raleigh & Eastern North Caro­ lina Railroad, to extend from Raleigh to Washington, N. C., via Wtison and Greenville. This line would be about ninety miles long, and would provide a very direct route from Raleigh to tide­water on the Pamlico river. James II. Pou, E. B, Barbee and Josephus Dan­iels are among the subscribers to the fund. It is estimated that the line can be constructed for $1,000,000, and the necessary shops can be built for $50,- 000. The Iine would, it was stated, traverse one of the richest and most fertile sections of North Carolina. Pro­ vided the necessary subscriptions are raised, bonds will be floated to build the road.In this connection it is interesting to note that a line is proposed between Stantonsburg and Wilson. Regarding this project, Dr. S. H. Croker of Stau- tonshurg writes the Manufacturers’ Record that citizens of the two towns propose connecting them by a railroad. Continuing, he says: “We had about enough money pledged to build the road, and the delay is due to the con­ templated Raleigh & Eastern North Carolina Railroad from Raleigh via Wilson and Greenville to Washington, N. C. If so, that road willjje on our line, aud we are now working in har­mony with the Raleigh & Eastern North Carolina. The road will run through the finest timber and agricul­tural belt in the State, and we see no reason why it will not pay from the be­ginning.” Industrial Miscellany. The large lumber plant at IIitch-. cock, near Emporia, Va., operated by the Hitchcock-Trego Company, will undei; a contract pass under the con­trol of the Emporia Manufacturing Co., which will utilize a largo portion of the output of this mill at its planing mill and box factory in North Emporia. The Hitchcock mill will cut from 40,- 000 to 50,000 feet of lumber a day, and ,under the new management will be op­erated at its full capacity. A syndicate of prominent Maryland and West Virginia financiers have or­ganized a company in Hagerstown, Md., with a capital of $100,000. The company has purchased about 10,000 acres of timber land—spruce, hemlock and hardwoods—from ex-Senator Hen­ ry G. Davis in Randolph county. West Virginia. This tract will be developed at ouee. The main office will be lo­ cated at Hagerstown, with R. H. Alvey, Jr., the local.representative. Governor Montague of Virginia has signed a bill granting to Mr. H. L. Page and his associates the right to build a tunnel under the .Elizabeth river in Virginia, so a 3 to connect Nor­ folk, Portsmouth and Berkley. It is provided that the work of constructing the tunnel must begin within ninety days, and it is expected that cars will be run through it within a year from the day the work is begun. Textile Notes. The Vale Royal Mills at Savannah, Ga., have been sold by Mr. H. P. Smart to the Hilton-Dodge Lumber Co. The miils are located west of the Central RaiDvay & Ocean Steamship Co/s ter­ minals, and arc among the most mod­ ern and best - equipped plants in the State. These mills have made a spe­cialty of cypress lumber and shingles. The Hilton-Dodge Lumber Co. will continue to operate the mill, having leased from Mr. Smart large lumber in­ terests along the Savannah river. It is understood that the price paid for the mills was $30,000. Work is progressing rapidly on the construction of the Alexander City (Ala.) Cotton Mills, and the buildings will be completed soon. The main structure is of bvick, three stories high, equipped with electric lights, wa- ter and sewerage system, fire equip­ment, etc. There is a spindling-room on the second and the third floor, each 128x185 feet in size. The picker-room is on the third floor, and is 46x128 feet. The company is capitalized at $200,000, and will operate 10-,000 spindles. Tavora Cotton Mills of Yorkville, S. C., has ordered between $5000 and $10,000 worth of additional machinery, the funds to be obtained from Its re­cent increase in capital from $40,000 to $65,000. J. L. Bond of Riiston, La., is endeav­ oring to form mill company; $25,000 has been subscribed. A movement is on foot at Monticello, Ark., for the organization of a $35,000 company to build a cotton-rope mill. Bowling Green Knitting Mills of Bowling Green, S. C., previously re­ ported, is completing its buildings, and has ordered the machinery to equip. Ladies’ underwear will be the principal product; investment $15,000. In correspondence last week from Charleston detailing the names and exhibitors at the exposition, W. J. Dickey & Sons of Baltimore were cred­ited with an exhibit of “all-wool jer­ seys and cotton duck.” It should have read “all-wool kerseys and cotton duck.” The directors of the Humbolt (Tenn.) Cotton Mills met during the week. They arranged to secure estimates on the additional machinery that is to be installed. It was announced in Janu­ary that the company intended to add 1240 spindles, 50 looms, etc. Present plant has 4000 ring spindles and 100 looms. A movement is on foot for the organ­ization of another miil company at Dillon, S. C., and a capital of $500,000 is proposed. Capps Cotton Mills of Toccoa, Ga., has ordered sixty-five additional looms and complementary machinery to work up the product of its 2080 ring spin­ dles. The product will accordingly be yarns and cloth, instead of yarns only, as formerly. Plant will spin night and day. Standard Cotton Mills of Cedartown, Ga., has completed the installation of its new 600-horse power engine. This additional power was. required because of the recent increase in spindles from COOO to 12,000. The plant was idle three weeks while the engine was being erected. Vvr. R. Rison, general manager of the Dallas Manufacturing Co. of Hunts­ ville, Ala., has visited New York city and completed arrangements for the machinery required- for Dallas Mill No. 2. This machinery will include 28,000 spindles and complement, buildings to accomodate which are now completed. The equipment is to.be in position by October I.

OCCURRED AMONG GIRL WORKERS CausedJ By Accident to Deaf and Dumb Elevator Boy— Somebody Cried “ Fire/ 1 Philadelphia, Special.—An unfortu­ nate accident to a deaf and dumb boy, Isador Baccus, was directly responsible for the death of eight girls and young woman, the fatal injury of three others and the serious injury of more than two score of girls employed in the cigar factory of Harburger, Homan & Co.; a branch of the American Tobacco Com­ pany, located at Tenth street and Washington avenue.The dead are: Mary Geneva, aged 15; Helen Tilini, aged 12; Elizabeth Tartine, aged 12; Annie Rosschneider, aged 18; Louisa DeSepi, aged 16; Ida Green, aged IS; Annie Ford, aged 13; unidentified woman, about 25 years of age, whose body is at the morgue. Fa­tally injured; Mary Mesine, injured internally, skull fractured; Josephine O’Ronco, injured internally; unidenti­ fied woman, fractured skull, uncon­ scious. The injuries of the others con­ sist mainly of bruses about the body and fractured limbs.The building In which the disaster occurred is a five-story brick structure and covers an entire block. Twelve hundred people were at work at the time, 90 per cent, of whom were girls whose ages range from 12 years up­ ward.The trouble began on the fourth floor of the structure. Baccus, who was jan­ itor of the building, started for the fifth floor for a ball of twine. The el­ evator was at the top of the shaft and Baccus pulled the rope to bring it down. He opened the door leading to the shaft and leaned forward to see where the carriage was. As he did ^ so the elevator which was descending slowly s'truck him across the back of the neck, pinioning his head between the elevator and the floor. A stock lx>y released Baccus and cried for help. The foreman rushed from the building to call an ambulance and immediately there was a panic among the employes. Some of the younger girls faited while others - not being able to control .their feelings cried fire. Instantly there was a mad rush for the stairway leading into Tenth street. The girls rushed down the narrow staircase until they reached a bend in the exit between the second and third floors. In their eager­ ness to escape the frightened leaders fell. Others immediately following tripped oved the struggling mass of humanity and in less than a minute there were hundreds of children and young women struggling in the pas­ sageway. The shrieks and screams of the terro-strickon girls could be heard for a block or more. During the excite- men an alarm of fire was turned in.but before the engines could reach the scene several of the occupants of the building had rushed to the windows and jumped to the street, a distance of over 50 feet. Helen Tolini, one of those to jump, was almost instantly killed. When the firemen and policemen ar­rived every effort was made to quiet the terrorized girls. The-firemen rush­ ed up the stairway and begged the girls to bo calm, telling t^em that there was absolutely no danger, but the sight of the firemen seemed only to add fuel to the flames. While the policemen and firemen were endeavoring to quiet the girls on the stairway, ladders were being run up on the outside of the buildeing and the employes who had clamored out. onto the fire escapes and window ledges were quickly taken to the street After a few minutes the- men were able to check the awful crush on the stairway and then began the work of rescuing those who had been trampled and crushed between the .sec­ond and third floors. A call for ambu­lances had been turned in and as quick­ ly as the dead and injured were carried from the building they were hurried to hospitals. The number of ambulances was entirely inadequate and patrol wagons were brought into use to carry the victims away. Agricultural Appropriation. Washington, Special.—The House Wednesday passed the agricultural ap­ propriation bill, the last but two regu­ lar supply measures.

Brackett, of the chemistry department, and Cadet Thornwell. On account or this the faculty held a meeting and tm, student was suspended. The sophomoie class drew up articles demandin0 Thornwell’s re-instatement. The fac­ ulty thereupon refused to .take cog­nizance of this action and emphatical­ ly replied to the effect that the student would not be allowed to return. An­ other class meeting was held and the entire class withdrew as a body from the institution.A large number of the class passed through the city en route to their homes. From these your correspondent obtained the foregoing facts—the stu­ dents' side of the regrettable affair. The members of the other classes are In full sympathy with their self-dis­missed fellow-students. One class—the seniors—has gone so far as to pass re­ solutions of approval and to threaten similar action to that taken by the. sophomores. The other classes will likely follow suit.The trouble is the outcome of several clashes that have occurred within the history of the college, .is ...ie student expressed it, the faculty has been im­ posing on the students for a long time. Now the fight begins and will not cease until harmony is secured. It may go so far as to demand of the board of trustees the resignation of certain pro­ fessors who are now under the ban of the sentiments of the student body. ■The affair is much lamented by the people here, friends of the students and the college. It is hoped the matter will be settled satisfactorily for all concerned. The outcome will be watch­ ed with interest. Charleston, S. C., Special.—Tuesday 69 of the 74 members of the sophomore class of Clemson (the State Agricultur­ al College) on the site of Calhoun’s home, quit and went home. Two of the remaining five obtained discharges and also left, and it is understood that the remaining three will leave tomorrow.The action of the students in leav­ing was the result of the action of the faculty in suspending Cadet Thorn­ well, a grandson of the great Presby­terian theologian, a few days ago for taking four glass test tubes ,from the chemical labratory without premission. The members of the faculty say they have been troubled a great deal by the actions of this kind and notice was given that the next offender caught would be severely dealt with. The fac­ulty refused the request of his fellow- students that Thornwell be re-instated and henee the exodus of the . sopho­ mores. The student body sympathizes deeply with the rebels and loaned them money and exhausted the societies’ treasury to pay their railroad fares home, president Simpson, of the board of trustees, says: “It is simply a question as to who should run the college, the faculty or the students." Letters From Hill and Bryan. New York, Special.—Writing to the Democrats of the thirty-first assembly district, who held a Jefferson celebra­tion, Wm. J.

Hill said: “The revival of interest at this time in Jeffersonian principles of Democracy is very'-efycotiraging. Now is the time to prepare for the next cam­ paign. The Democracy is united for personal liberty, for home rule, for equal taxation, for the abolition of war taxes in times of peace, for revenue re­form, for constitutional freedom wher­ever the American flag floats and for liberty laws everywhere.” Booker Washington Gets $1,000.

CAST OUT A DEVIL' Holiness MeeUng at Greensboro Is Drawing Crowds. The Greensboro correspondent of the Charlotte Observer, writing of the Fire Baptized Holiness meeting in progress there says: . “The fire-baptized holiness people continue to excite a good deal of inter­est and curiosity here. Large crowds attend the continuous performances at the tent on South Him street, and, with the exception of those who are attrac­ted by curiosity, the hearers do not hesitate to give full vent to their fell­ings. There is no restraint. Every­ thing is free and easy, and every mem­ ber of the sanctified band is expected to give proof of his baptism by fire. Throughout the day and the grater part of the night the sound of preach­ing, praying, singing and shouting may be heard in the vicinity of the tent. Were it not for the pity of the thing, the performance would be as amusing as a circus or a minstrel. The preach­ers make all kinds of strange and ridi­culous statements and the deluded fol­lowers do all kinds of strange things. When a call is made for those who wish to receive the baptism of fire, there is a grand rush for the “mourn­ er’s bench,” and, after a goodly crowd has been corraled, the preachers set themselves to the task of “bringing the mourners through.” Grabbing a mourning woman by the hands, one of the leaders will command her to look up and see the “light.” If she is a lit­ tle slow in catching a glimpse of glory, she is told to look higher and shout aloud. When she has been induced to make a few ejaculations, she may be embraced by the preacher, and led across the rostum in a kind of negro cakewalk, to the accompaniment of ioud and gleeful shouts on the part of the congregation. The excitement reached the climax Monday night when Rev. Thomas C- Hodgin cast a devil out of a seeker for light. While the poor seeker lay on the ground, writh­ing and moaning like one possessed, the preacher, with shouts akin to those indulged in by a crowd of boys on a rabbit hunt, chased the devil across the fellow’s anatomy until it was finally located in his head. With a glad cry of conquest, the Rev. Mr. Hodgin announced that he had the devil. For a brief moment he held the terrible monster abpve his head for the gaze of the awe-stricken congregation, after which he gleefully threw it upon the platform. It struck the loose boards with a dull thud of an ordinary stone, but, to the bewildered holiness people, it was a real, live devil.- Elizabeth College Commencement.

T rying to P ooh-P ooh th e E ftottB to O btain th e C om parative E xport a n d D om estic l'rico s o f tlie Sam e A rticles—B ew are of F ree T rade E xaggerations. The News, of Dallas, Texas, notes with disapproval the cordial co-opera* tion of the American Protective Tariff League In tlie efforts of the Indusftrial Commission to obtain reliable infor­ mation from domestic manufacturers concerning the disparity (if any) be­ tween the prices they receive for arti cles for domestic consumption and those which are exported. The News looks npon the whole thing with sus­ picion. It does not believe that the League and the Industrial Commission are “on the square” in this matter: tlTbe fact that the work of the com­ mission is being done^>y the League, and the further fact that, according to this resolution, the conclusions of the pommission are to be based upon, the . testimony of the ‘protected,* would seem to make clear the farce by which it is sought to deceive the coun­ try. The very wording of the resolu­ tion, ‘n full and frank statement cov­ ering the efforts made to extend con­ sumption of products to foreign mar­ kets/ indicates a suspicious kindness and solicitude for the very ‘pets’ who are extorting high prices from their own people.” Particularly suspicious, in the opinion of the News, is the pledge that re­ sponses to the schedule of inquiries arc to be treated as “confidential.” Presumably the News imagines that the responses would be much more nu­ merous and far more accurate if the lmsiuess secrets thus disclosed were to be blazoned to the world. The thing could be done much better, says the News, if the Industrial Commission would ignore the manufacturer who knows all about the domestic and ex­ port prices which he receives for his own goods and consult the domestic consumer, who knows absolutely noth­ ing about export prices except what he has gleaned from the falsehoods 8ud exaggerations of free trade news­ papers: uIn the meantime the citizen who pays for American manufactures more than the European or the Asiatic, thousands of miles away, is required to pay, uiust bear without light or hop£ the swollen body of this death, hav­ ing the facts in his favor deliberately concealed from him by a Government­ al commission which he is required to maicrniD. The very man who should he called upon to testify is left off the list. The very man who should know the facts is to be kept in the dark as to the facts. Xhe very man’Wbo needs encouragement and relief is to be left 3ut of an investigation, provided for apparently by unscrupulous politicians iu the interest of the trust masters whom they are ready to serve and upon whoso contributions they de­ fend.” . From all of which it would appear that tlie fipe traders are getting nerv­ ous over the results of the inquiry con­ cerning domestic and export prices and pvc discounting the Industrial Commissions report as partisan aud untrustworthy. Obviously they do not enjoy the prospect. !Facts are some­ times ugly thing?, and the free traders seem to be unable +0 comprehend why Ct is that protectionist? not only do not fear the disclosure of the facts regard­ ing domestic and export prices, but are actually doing all in their power to make the investigation ai‘ thorough and complete as possible. W ild H u n t F o r K ew M ailccls. Now just Watch those journals ivhieli are clinging to the crumbling edges of the free trade propaganda. It will not be long before they are heard denounc­ ing this reciprocity convention as a de­ lusion and a snare, from -which no good can come. They will be mista­ ken, as a great deal of good may be expeeted from the deliberations of this body. It IviJl no doubt do much to promote a reciprocity which is honest and beneficial, but not that sort which Mr. Eobert, of Massachusetts, said “will open our markets to foreign com­ petition and give us nothing in re­ turn.” It will not, to use the words of Senator Hale, of SIaine, who was James G. BlainerS spokesman for re­ ciprocity iu the Senate, propose to “imperil present conditions by a wild hunt for new markets which have never bad and never will have any trade or commerce at all to be com­ pared with the vast trade and flic im­ mense exports from this country to our great lira's.” The reciprocity which will be aimed at is in such im­ portant trades as those with Ji'fance, Germany, tlie British dependencies, and certain countries, especially in Soutlieru America, which buy more of us than they sell to ns. This is the re­ ciprocity Vvhich 3Ir. Blaine proposed, which President JIcKinley meant in his great Buffalo speech, and which the Eepnblican party has declared for and stands ready to favor.—l’aterson (X. J.) Press. ___ F ree T rade in D isguise. Much of the reciprocity talk is free (lade in disguise. Men who indulge in it are anxious to increase their im­ portations and incidentally their profits cv they do not understand the subject. No one can find fault with an im­ porter for wishing to enlarge Iiis busi­ ness. but when he wants to curtail die business of a home manufacturer who employs homo labor Ue is trying to increase his business to the detri­ ment not oiily of the home manufac­ turer, but iie is trying to do so in a manner that v.-ill injure a large number of wage earners. If it was a Question of one man against another man the people could affc-rd to say let them fight it out and may the best man win. but when one man represents himself and the other stands for a swarm of bread winners then tlie people do not hesitate. Their sympathies are immediately enlisted on the side of the men who would be thrown out of work. Keciproeity is a good thing so long as it takes from the foreigner things we do not produce and want, but when it is pushed far enough to take work fivui our wage earners then it is dan­ gerous.—Jersey City Journal.

Ih o SoutU am i th e Tariff. “After ail,’ ’says the Nashville Ban­ ner, “would it be very surprising if before many years had passed,-to find the East urging free trade in opposi­ tion to .the strong protection sentiment of the South?” While the Journal and Tribune does not claim to be a prohpet, or even the son of a prophet, that is just what it predicted more than ten years ago Tvould come, to pass. The South has a grater interest in the maintenance of the protective system than any other section of the (^uni ry has. Here is that old reliable I'/ aiocratio stand by, the New Orleans Picayune, saying that of course the South must and will stand by Democracy, but that it mcst also favor protection. While it makes a mistake in magnifying the Importance of the Democratic party to the South, its head is level on the tariff proposition. Other sections of the country took advantage of the tariff and profited by it, before the South was in a position to jn-ofit; now when the South is ready to reap some of the •bountiful harvest and is doing it, there are those who say the time has come to abandon a protective tariff. Strange to say, there are Southern men whose natural shortsightedness, or because they are wedded to an old theory, leads them to give up protection just when the South is about to receive some of its benefits. It is a pleasure and an encouragement to know that an old, able and influential paper such as the New Orleans Picayune does not belong to that class.—Knoville (Tenn.) Trib­ une. A QueBtion and a R eckoning.' We already buy from Cuba nearly twice as much as we sell her. We shall buy still more under the scheme of relief - reciprocity, and very likely shall sell more of certain articles, but the tradp balance against us will re­ main anti probably be larger than ever. In any event, will the increased vol­ ume of our sales to Cuba operate as compensation to the domestic interests which are called upon to make all sac­ rifices? Will the American sugar and tobacco growers and the American cigar makers be able to trace to their own pockets enough of the profits 011 increased Cuban trade to make good their direct losses through reduced tariff duties? This question is to be asked, this reckoning is goiug to lie made. Is the Republican party ready with an answer that will meet tliis question? Is it provided with a solu­ tion that wiil satisfy the reckoning? A Great Deftl Doing. “Something doing” becomes more than a mere slang phrase under Ding-- Iey law conditions. There is “some­ thing doing” for the hundreds of thou­ sands of workmen who have continu­ ous employment in place of idleness; “something doing” for the manufac­ turers, who see a balance on the right side of the ledger; “something doiug” for the railroads and the employes of !lie railroads in the handling of many more tons of freight daily than ever before iu their history; “something doing” for the farmers in performing the task of feeding the millions of prosperous, happy, clamorous indus­ trial workers. In short, there is not only "something doing” in contrast to the “nothing doing” in Wilson law days, but there is more than some­ thing; there is a very great deal doing' all along the industrial line. W ould S cnttle tlie Ship. KIP®/ S a ir S plitting. The free trade papers pronounce ua- ;onstitntional the proposition to repay some of tlie duty charged on Cuban sugar. But they insist that it is per­ fectly proper to refrain from collecting IUe duty. The distinction as to effect between'the two methods is not very Btarked.-Lowell Courier. H o ir to Satisfy T hem .

Gutti of Yucatan. The famoas “chicle” chewing gum of Yucatan is gathered by bands of men called “chiclsros,” who go into the deep forest carrying h^avy knives of special make, pails and ladles for the sap, and each has a- strong rope, about eighty feet in length, to be used in climbing the tall sapota trees, from which the gum is obtained. Tha sap flows from gashes cut in the bark, and having been caught in the pails, it is boiled down to a gummy consistency. The camp of the chieleros resembles in. many respects an American maple camp. After several months of work the men return from the forests, laden with blocks of the gum. The best quality of the gum is obtained from the fruit of the sapota tree, but this is seldom exported because it is‘too well liked at home.—Philadelphia Record. NORTH CAROLINA POLITICS. A Lively Tilt Between Senators Sim­ mons and P. itAard. A lively debate was precipitated in the Senate Friday by Mr. Pritchard, of North Carolina, by some remarks he made on politics and political methods in that State, in the course of a discus­ sion of the Philippine bill. He main­ tained that the pending measure delt simply with the administrative features of the Philippines and insisted that charges made against the American army that tortures and barbarities were practiced in the islands were not relevant to the discussion. He said that if the charges were true, the guilty ought to be punished severely and un­doubtedly would be. He suggested that some of the methods employed by the opponents of the bill in this country ought to be reformed, and told of what is called the “sand cure” in North Car­ olina, the victim having his face crush­ed into the sand to stifle his cries while he was being beaten to intifaidate him politically. This drew the Are of Mr. Simmons, of North Carolina, who de­clared that he never heard of such a practice. The debate thus started cov­ered a wide range of subjects concern­ing North Carolina politics. Mr. Pritchard declared that a ma­ jority of the people of North Carolina and of the South were in favor of the proposition of the majority of the Phil­ ippine committee and Ie quoted The Charlotte Observer as a leading Dem­ocratic paper of the South, in support of the retention of the Philippines.“Does not the Senator know,” inter­ rupted Mr. Simmons, “that the Char­ lotte Observer opposed the election of Wm. J. Bryan to the presidency?” “That is true,” replied Mr. Pritchard, “but the paper opposed him purely on the issue of free silver.” In response to another question by Mr. Simmons, Mr. Pritchard said he knew of nobody in the South—Repub­ lican or Democrat—who was in favor of “imperialism," but he asserted that a majority of the business men of the South were in favor of expansion. He said that a Republican voter was taken from his home at night and beaten, his face being crushed into the sand to stifle his cries. Mi-. Simmons declared that this was the first time he ever had heard of the “sand cure.” Tie said he did not believe the statement of the witness quoted by Mr. Pritchard and insisted that if it were true, the sand cure was not ad­ministered for political purposes. Ho said that for six years he had been the chairman of the Democratic executive committee of North Carolina, and he had never known of any cases of out­rage and violence for political pur­ poses. Mi-. Pritchard inquired if it were not a fact that organized bands of “red shirts” rode over the State of North Carolina for the purpose of terroizing Republican voters? "That organization,” (the red shirts), replied Mr. Simmons, “never had for its object any bellicose or belligerent purpose toward any part of the voters of North Carolina. It is merely an or­ ganization for the purpose of more ef­ fectually organizing the voters of the State.” Mr. Pritchard discussed at consider­ able length the suffrage conditions and political situation in North Carolina, in the course of which he said that in the so-called “black belt” of the State Mr. Bryan had a majority of 6,000 at the last presidential election. “Either the colored voters were cheated out of their votes,” said he, “or they voted the Democratic ticket. I don’t say which.” He recited what he denounced as “outrages” that had been perpe­ trated, he declared, by the Democrats of North Carolina, upon Republican voters, but he said he did not think a majority of the Democrats of the State approval of such outrages. He did not think, therefore, that the isolated cases of outrages and torture in the Philip­ pines should be cited as arguments against the Republican policy in the islands. He expressed the hope that the punishment of offenders against the articles of war would be swift and sure as he believed it would be. Mr. Simmons replied to some of the suggestions made by Mr. Pritchard as to North Carolina politics, in the course of which he justified the “white people in protecting themselves again3t irre­ sponsible majorities.” “Does mv colleague say.” inauirecl Mr. Pritchard, "that the red shirts did not ride through the State and terror­ize voters?” "I state,” declared Mr. Simmons, “upon my authority as a Senator and as chairman of the Democratic execu­ tive committee that the stories of out­rages committed by red shirts are ab­solutely and utterly without founds^ tion. I know of no outrage that can be traced to that organization. Except for polticai purposes the organization of so-called red shirts never has been charged with being an unlawful and violent organization.” He stated that not a single red shirt ever had been arraigned for a violation of law.Mr. Pritchard read a table indicating that Mr. Bryan had received a heavy majority in the “black belt” of North Carolina, “and yet,” said he, “the Re­ publican party is charged with being the negro party.” He said it was im­ possible to discuss any subject in North Carolina without having the question of negro domination injected. He declared the situation would be ri­diculously absured if it were not so se­rious. As an instance of the political methods employed in North Carolina, Mr. Prit' hard asserted that an emis­ sary of illo Democratic party in the State had approached him,, promising that if he (Pritchard) would have en­ tered a node prosequi in certain cases of election frauds the proceedings of impeachment of Republican judges by the Democratic Legislature would be dropped. “It was proclaimed boldly in North Carolina,” said he, “that these judges were to be impeached in order to get a Democratic bench to pass upon the ‘grandfather clause’ of the new con- otitution.” Mr. Pritchard indignantly declined the proposition and said that, subse­ quently. brave and patriotic members of the Legislature-Deinocrats and Re­publicans—by their votes had prevent­ ed the unjust impeachment of the judges. In reply, Mr. Simmons asserted that the man who approached Mr. Pritchard with the proposition to drop the im­ peachment proceedings was not in the remotest way an emissary of the Dem­ ocratic party. He had repudiated the charge publicly and he had said so. In explanation of the new State constitu­ tion he said that while it. permitted educated negroes to vote it was adopted “expressly for the purpose of excluding the votes of irresponsible negroes. In the adoption of that-constitution we were moved by a high desire to perpjet- uate the Anglo-Saxon civilization in North Carolina.” . IN CONGRESS. Detailed Doings of Our National Law* makers* HOUSE. One hundred and third Day—Under aa special order, which allowed three hours debate but cut off all opportunity Of amendment the House passed an bmnibus public buildihg bill which will distribute $17,405,450 among 174 cities. As the bill covers into the Treasury $1,5S5,000 the total amount carried by the bill is reduced to that Extent. The bill provides for 77 new building and sites, six buildings on sites already purchased, seventeen buildings on do­ nated sites, and 58 increases in appro­ priation for buildings already author­ ized. It also provides for the purchase of 16 sites. The majority for the bill was so overwhelming that only nine members backed a demand for the ayes and noes on the passage of the bill.There was some criticism of the method by which it was proposed to pass the bill without opportunity for amendment, which Mr. Mercer, chair­ man of the committee, answered by stating that if the bill had been subject to amendment the appropriations car­ ried by it would have increased to $60,- 000,000. Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, op­ posed the adoption of the special or­ der, saying this method of legislation could not be justified by any course of reasoning. Among those who spoke on the bill were Messrs. Bartlett, of Geor­ gia, and Small, of North Carolina. SENATE. One hundred and third Day.—A spirited and at times heated discussion of the Philippine situation occurred in the Senate. It removed around the or­ der alleged to have been Issued by Gen­ eral Jacob A. Smith to make the island of Samar a howling wilderness and to kill all male inhabitants over the age of ten years. The debate took a wide range, however, and many points were discussed. When the Philippine bill was laid be­ fore the Senate no Senator was pre­ pared to deliver a set speech upon it. Mr. Lodge, oC Massachusetts, said he felt compelled to press it for considera­tion. His remarks drew the fire of Kr. Teler, of Colorado, who criticised the Republicans for not participating in the discussion. This precipitated the debate and for more than two hours it continued.During Mr. Teller’s remarks Mr. Till­ man, of South Carolina, said it was supposed that the government would be very polite to the warlike dattos of Mindanao and observed that consider­ ation was shown Mohammedans of that island, Wh5Ie cruel treatment was me­ ted out to the Christians of Samar. Discussing the alleged order of Gen­ eral Smith. Mr. Teller said he under­ stood that General Smith had tried to justify his order by what is known as the “Tom Ewing order.” During the civil war by its order the population two counties in Misslouri was d?port- ed and their property destroyed. Ho was proceeding to characterize the ac­ tion of the Amarican army in the Phil­ippics as most cruel and barbarous when he was interrupted by Mr. Spoon­ er, of Wisconsin, with the inquiry: “Does the Senator not remember. Fort Pillow?”“What does the Senator mean by his reference to Fort Pillow?” inquired Mr. Carmack, of Tennessee. “I had in mind," replied Mr. Spooner, “what has been considered a massacre of colorcd troops there.” Mr. Carmack insisted with some heat that there was no massacre of troops or killing of prisoners at Fort Pillow.Mr. Teller was continuing his re­ marks about General Smith’s Oider when he was interrupted by Mr. Fair­banks. “I do not undestandsaid he, “that the government approves of Gen­ eral Smith’s alleged order. It has or­ dered a court-martial to try General Smith.”Mr. Teller offered an amendment to the bill providing for a'commission to be appointed by the President and to consist of not less than seven or more than fifteen persons to proceed to the Philippines and try to secure a lasting peace between the United States and the Philipinos, the United States to pay the commissioners salaries of $10,000 a year each and all expenses. . Mr. Teler continued his disenssion of General Smith’s order, wlilch "he said had shocked the public mind in this country, regardless of party affilia­tions. He said he would despair of our govero.-raent if the people should not repudiate such an order. “If,” said he, “it beTtrue that he issued such an order I believe the officer ought to be dis­ missed from the servlse.” He said he would despise himself if he did not enter his protest against such inhu­ manity as was evidenced by the order of General Smith. “In the records ol all the great wars since the Middle Ages,” he said, "you cannot find such a disgraceful and wicked order as that issued by General Bell or by General Smith.”Mr. Lodge said nothing was , known •here of General Smith’s order until it was pleaded by Major 'Waller as a do-' fense for his action in Samar. As soon as Wallar had pleaded that order as his defense the President himself had di­ rected General Smith be court-martial­ed. He said he did not know whether the order of General Smith was verbal or written.Mr. Carmack, of Tennessee, insisted that the evidence indicated that orders of a very extreme character issued in the Philippines were being suppressed, not, he believed, by the War Depart­ment, but by the military authorities in the Philippines. In calling attention to the report of the secretary of Batangas province that there had been so great mortality in the province as to reduce the popula­ tion from 300,000 to about 200,000, the mortality being due to disease, Mr. Tillman inquired whether the Philip­pine committee had investigated that matter. When informed that it had not he exclaimed: “Well, how long are we going to hold on to this bag of cats? Wliat benefit is it to the American peo­ple to pursue this infamous pol:cy?”As the running colloquy continued, Mr. Culberson asked Mr. Lodge if he endorsed the order issued by General Bell.'“No, replied Mr. Lodge. “I do not endorse cruelty in warfare. General Smith’s order is one which every Amer­ ican should regret. On the surface those orders seem to me to be revolt­ ing.”In explaining *whe great mortality among the inhabitants of Batangas, Mr. Bacon, of Georgia, expressed the belief 'that the disease among the natives had been caused by the laying waste of the province by war. Crops had been de­stroyed and the inhabitants had Mceu confronted almost by a condition of famine* Astc Toor Dealer For Allen's FootvJSftffet A powder. It rests the feet.

T he poll tax feature of the a- m eudnient is certainly a discrim i­ nation against the poor m an. It is the pooi' m an who needs protec­ tion by law . T he only w ay he can dem and it is by his right to vote. I t is harder for him to pay his poll tax than it is for the rich man to pay his property tax. - The poor man has to pay poll tax by M ay 1st or he cannot vote, while the rich m an can vote w hether he p a js his property tax by M ay or not until A ugust. A ny oue can see it is a discrim ina'.ion.— IIick or y Tim es-M ercury T es, every word of the above is true, and there should be no. such discrim ination against the poor m an. The rich and property hold- '■ er can pay his tax, and should he has som ething called to m eet at th at day. In view of the fact I am author­ ized by the state com m ittee to post pone th e tim e of holding the staie convention until the 28th day A ugust, 1902.

H e was an active and faithful member of M ocksvills lodge No, 134 A . F . A . M . for nearly h alf a century and loved bis brethren in Masonry as a father loves his child. H is life was spent principally in Jstrmiqg in w hich occupation he w as m uch interested and success­ ful. H e served through the civil w ar as a gallant confederate soldier. H e spent m uch tim e in reading and kept him self well posted on all subjects, political, religions, and social.. H e was a very decided postive character, his chief characteristic being his m odesty and his contem pt for ev S iy th in g th a tw as not open and honest. I t was a great pleasure to his friends in his last days to hear him talk of events and things long past and gone. Thoroughly in ­ form ing him self on all questions, he m odestly but boldly spoke his opinion on any and all occasions. Changing not, w ith the w ind you could alw ays veil ou any question, when others doubted, w here Bro W oodruff stood. A s a friend he was as true as steel. H e lived an hum ble Christian life. Though m uch suffering and sorrow was his, he bore it w ithout a m urm er or com plaint. A s he grew o.der his life became beauti­ ful and his faith seemed stronger, ' 1To hjs grave in a foil age as a shock of corn cometh in his sea- son,” so it was, we believe w ith our brother. Ju st before he died he called his friends to his bedside and said th at he thought the end was near and spoke to them words too ten­ der and sacred to be w ritten here. Then he quietly and peacefully ssed away, his . last audible words being “ Come," Lord Jesus, come.” Eesolved therefore:— (1) T hat we m ourn his death not as those who have no hope. (2) T hat as a token of our res­ pect for his mem ory we w ear the usual badge of m ourning for thir­ ty days and inscribe to his memo­ ry a iage in our m inute book.

BOTH A MURDER AND A SUICIDE Sad Tragedy That Resulted In the Immediate Death of two Prominent Literary Characters, New York, Special—Paul Leicester Ford, the novelist, was shot and killed Thursday by his brother, Malcom Web­ ster Ford, writer and athlete, who im­ mediately sent a bullet into his own breast, dying instantlyT The shooting occurred at 10:20 a. m. in the hand­ some new mansion which Paul Leices­ ter Ford had built at 37 Bast Seventy- seventh street, and had occupied for one year. At the time of the shooting there were in the house besides the two brothers, Mrs. Paul Leicester Ford, Miss Eaizabeth R. Hall, the novelist’s Beeretary, and the servants. The nov­ elist was sitting at his desk in one- corner .of his library; a large attrac­ tively appointed room at the back of the house on the second floor. It is sup­ posed he was busily engaged at some literary task. Miss Hall was at her desk In another corner of the room about 30 feet from Mr. Ford. Mrs. Paul Leicester Ford was in her own room at the front of the house on the third floor.Malcom W. Ford called, as he often had done, and went to his brother at his desk. Words were exchanged in a tone so low that Miss Hall could not hear what was said, though she says that possibly she might have distin­guished the words if she had been pay­ ing any attention to this particular meeting of the brothers. Suddenly there was a revolver shot and Miss Hall jumped up and darted from the room. Then, according to the state­ ments of the police, Miss Hall said to herself that she must be more brave and re-enter the library. Meanwhile Malcom Ford had called her. As she turned towards him, he placed his re­ volver to his heart, fired and fell, dying instantly. When Miss Hall turned to look at Paul, lie was still standing at his desk, but rapidly losing strength. She helped him to a sofa and then ran next door for Paul Ford’s "physician, Dr. Emanuel Baruch. In less than five minutes Dr. Baruch arrived and the dying man, still conscious, was carried up to a room beside his wife's and placed on his bed. He spoke to his wife, and asked the doctor for his opin­ ion, showing that he expected death and was going to meet it calmly and bravely. A few moments later, about 20 minutes after he was shot, Mr. Ford died. Mr. Kidder refused to make any statement in regard to the shooting except a brief memorandum which was given to the police, in this it was said that the cause of the shooting could only be surmised. Information from other sources makes it appear that Malcom Ford called to get money from his brother, and meeting with a re­fusal, shot him. Dr. Baruch said that the murder was the result of temporary mental aberra­ tion on the part rof Malcom Ford, due to nervous exhaustion. Lutheran 3ynod In Session. Charleston, S. C., Special.—Th© eighth Convention of the United Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran church was opened at St. John’s church, this city, Wednesday morning with a ser­ mon by the president, Rev. Dr. J.

Rev. H. A. Yoder, D. D., of New­ ton, N. C., was chosen president, and Rev. A. G. Voight, D. D., of Wilming­ ton, N C., was elected vice president of the United Synod for the ensuing year.

Almost all the inhabitants of St. Pierre are said to have been killed. The Rod- darn reports that all the shipping in the port has also been destroyed. A correspondent of the Boston Tran- script, commenting caustically on the proposition to erect a statute of Benja­ min F. Butler in Boston, says tha, “the least we can do is to have a little ring of celebrities of this sort whc have been conspicuous as malefactors, standing up in the common.” He adds “I shall be pleased to head a subscrip­ tion list for this purpose. I will sub­ scribe $25 for statute of Satan, $5 for Benedict Arnold, $10 for John Wilkes Booth, 30 cents for Aaron Burr, $5 foi Guieteau and $5 for Czolgosz.” The writer also suggests the addition o.' horns and a tail to the Butler statue.

Asheville, SpeciaL-The forty- seventh session (67th year) of the Southern Baptist Convention begau here Friday. The attendance will be large. The "first session was called to order by Hon. John W. Northern, of Atlanta.This convention is the largest or­ ganized body of Baptists in the world. It embraces 19,558 churches in the States east of the Mississippi river and south of the Ohio; also in Mary­ land, the District of Columbia, Mis­ souri, Arkansas, Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Texas, Mexico and Cuba. The convention is not a legislative, but an advisory body. Under the de­ nominational teachings of the Church the Convention does not make laws for its constituency. The delegate! meet for co-operation in missionary-’ and educational work. The meetings of several societies and bodies auxil­ iary to the general convention were held during the day. The main ques­ tions for consideration by the conven­ tion will be education and home and foreign missions. Both the home and foreign boards have increased their work greatly during the last year and will report free of debt. It is said the home board, of which Dr. McConnell, of Atlanta, is secretary will report a balance on hand of something like $5,000. The report of the foreign board, the headquarters of which is in Nashville will be made by Dr. R. J. Willingham. Mr. Northern having declined a re- election as president, there was much speculation "among the delegates as to who would be the presiding officer. Many were of the opinion that Mr. Northen would yet be induced to serve another term. The Baptist Young People's Union held a meeting Thursday morning. Among the speakers were President Johh H. Chapman. Mr. Chapman told of the remarkable growth of the or­ ganization and predicted even larger growth this year. The association was shown to be in a highly flourishing condition. The American Baptist Educational Society met In the afternoon and elected the following officers; Presi­ dent, A. Gaylord Slocum, LL. D., of Michigan; vice' president, John F. Forbes, Ph. D., Florida; John H. Har­ ris, LL. D., Pennsylvania; recording secretary, Rev. H. 1B. Grose, Massa­ chusetts; corresponding secretary, H. L. Morehouse, D. D., I ll Fifth avenue, New York; treasurer, E. Y. Carry, Mont Clair, N. J.; auditor, G. W. Mur­ ray, New York; members of the execu­ tive board, 1902-5, Eugene Levering, Baltimore, Md.; Rev. F. T. Tomilin- son Elizabeth, N. J.; Rev. Fred T. Gates, New York; Joshua Levering, Baltimore; G. W. Murray, New York; Col. J. A. Hoyt, Greenville, S. C.; E. W. Stephens, Columbia, Missouri; J. W. Bailey, Raleigh, N. C.; J. B. Gam- brell, Waco, Texas. In the absence of the secretary of the ooard Dr. Norman Fox, of Now Jersey, was elected as recording sec­ retary pro tem. The executive board of the society submitted its report, showing grants had been authorized to ten institutions during the year. The number of high schools in the South lias increased from 434 in 1890 to 1,358 in 1901. The report of Treas­ urer E. V. Carry showing receipts for the fiscal year of $77,075.73 was read by Dr. Moorehouse and adopted. Presi­ dent Boatwright declared there was a great educational revival going on. State and private aid, he said, were building up State institutions. “The loss of denominational patronage may make the weak-hearted think de­ nominational institutions must be given up,” he continued, “but the de­ nominational schools are the bulwarks of the nation. When the State institu­ tions foster a sustained Christian citi­ zenship, secular schools may may be needed, but not now. The demand is for schools which shall support Chris­tianity, not church tenets.” Dr. J. P. Greene addressed the so­ ciety on “The Bearing of the Modern Educational Revival on Denomina­ tional Colleges.” Dr. E. M. Poteat, of Philadelphia; J. Mf. Prestige, of Louis­ ville, and others also delivered ad­ dresses. * ^ The trustees of the Baptist Semi­ nary at Louisville were in session. Hon. Joshua Levering, of Baltimore, presiding. Reports of the various com­ mittees were read and the institution was shown to be in a most flourishing condition. DEATH OF SAMPSON Dr. KlngshuryResigns. Wilmington, Special.—Dr. Theodore B. King3bury, regarded everywhere as the dean of North Carolina journalism, has tendered his resignation as editor of the Wilmington Messenger, the same to take effect immediately. The reason is reported to be the result of wide differences between Messrs.

Washington, Special.—Rear Admiral (William T. Sampson, retired, died at |iis home in this city at 5 o’clock Tues­ day afternoon. The immediate cause bf his death wa3 a severe cerebral hemorrhage. He had been in a semi­ conscious state for several days and this afternoon suffered a severe cer- bral hemorrhage. At the bedside when the admiral'breathed his last .were Mrs. Sampson, Mrs. Lieutenant Cluver- ius, the admiral’s two young sons. Ralph and Harold Sampson, Dr. Dixon and the attending physician and nur­ ses and attendants. - Mrs.’ Sampson had broken down under the severe strain, and was quite ill all during the day. But for the critical condition of the admiral she would have been confined to her bed. It had been suggested to Mrs. Samp­ son that the Naval Cemeteiy at Anna­ polis would be a proper place for the last resting place of the remains, while other friends have represented her that he be buried in Aldington Cemetery, near this city. Mrs. Sampson suffered a slight acci­ dent four days ago while attending to the wants of the admiral and has been in bed since. She probably will not be able to attend the funeral services. A number of. messages of condolence have been received at the house, among them one from Secretary Moody. Death of Congressman Salmon, Washington, Special.—Death claimed another victim on the Democratic side of the House Tuesday in the person of Joshua S. Salmon, making four on this side since the session opened. Claude Kitchin, a personal friend of the de­ ceased member, was by Speaker Hen­ derson designated as a member of the committee to attend the funeral. W. W. Kitchin is already absent from the city in attendance on the funeral of Rep­ resentative Cummings. “The death of Representative Salmon seems peculiar­ ly sad,” said Representative Bellamy, today, who occupied a seat near to that of the late New Jersey Congressman. “A few days ago Representative Gil­ bert made a speech in eulogy of the late Representative Stokes, of South Carolina, the speaker standing just in front of my desk. After Mr. Gilbert had concluded Mr. Salmon seemed af­ fected by the talk, complimented Mr. Gilbert, and expressed the hope that Mr. Gilbert could say that much of him when he died. It seems a singuliar co­ incidence that Mr. Gilbert now has this opportunity.” Bret Hart Dead. London, By Cable.—F. Bret Harte, the American author, died here Tues­ day night. He was born in Albany, N, Y„ on August 25, 1833. Mr. Harte died suddenly at the Red House, Camberley, near Aldershot, from hemorrhage caus­ ed by an affection of the throat. Mr. Harte had been suffering from swelled tonsils since December last, but he did not consider the attack to be serious. A week ago he went to visit friends at Camberley and was present at lunch as usual yesterday. He suddenly became ill in the afternoon, went to bed and died in a few hours. His end was peace­ ful. Negroes to Test Constitution. Montgomery, Ala., Special.—An ap­ plication was filed in the Supreme Court Tuesday for a writ of mandamus requiring the Montgomery county reg­ istrars to register Jackson W. Giles, a negro, and all other qualified negroes who shall apply for (registration. It is further asked In the application that the new . constitution of Alabama be declared null and void as in conflict with the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments of the constitution of the United States. The application is sup­ ported by numerous affidavits from negroes who have been refused regis­ tration by the board. Trying to Corner Corn Market. Syracuse, N. Y„ Special.—George H. Philips, the corn king, of Chicago, came to Syracuse Tuesday, seeking to interest local capital in a gigantic pool which he is forming for the con­ trol of the grain, market of the United States. He conferred with John Dun- fee and other capitalists, and will visit New York financiers before he returns. He has been looking into the crop conditions and believes a great fortune can be made. Sneers For Dumont. Paris, By Cable.—The Paris papers are commenting sarcastically on San- tos-Dumont return without having signed the big contract expected af­ ter his remarks about making Eng­ land nr America his future home, be­ cause those countries were more ap­ preciative than France. His failure to get any big prize offered in either country proves pleasing to French­ men, who feel conscious that all pos­ sible appreciation was shown Santos’ efforts. Kitchener’s Report.

The Manufacturers’ Record is au­ thoritatively informed that the pro­posed increase of capital of the Mas­ sachusetts Mills in Georgia has been fully subscribed. This is an increase of capital from $1,000,000 to- $2,000,000 for the purpose of erecting an addi­ tional plant. The new mill will con­ tain about 41,000 spindles (not 50,000 as was previously stated), and its con­ struction and equipment will be begun and pushed to completion as rapidly as is practicable. Messrs. Lockwood, Greene & Co., of Boston, Mass., have been appointed architects and en­ gineers for the new addition. They will soon have plans and specifications completed, and the necessary contracts will then be arranged. The Manufacturers’ Record of April 3 presented an outline of these enlarge­ ments as confirmed in the foregoing. Massachusetts Cotton Mills, Lowell, Mass., operates the plant of the Geor­ gia company under lease. Greensboro’s New Enterprise, Greensboro, N. C., Special.—Busi­ ness organizations here last week took action, which it is considered, will re­ move all doubt of location in Greens­ boro of a $1,000,000 cotton mill which Messrs. Moses & Caeser Cone have had in mind for some time for either this place or Roanoke Rapids. The action taken by the organizations was to formally invite Messrs. Cone to locate the mill here. Resolutions were adop­ted pledging the associations to en­ deavor to cultivate throughout the country a sentiment in favor of ex­ tending to corporations the same rights and privileges accorded to individuals. The proposed mill will be for the man­ ufacture of colored goods. Options oh a large part of the land necessary have already been secured. To Manufacture Denim. Dispatches from Greensboro, N. C., during the week have stated that “it is reported, though not confirmed, that Messrs. Moses H. Cone and Caesar Cone of that city will build an im­ mense cotton denim mill." However, the fact that the plant will be erected was definitely announced in the Manu­ facturers’ Record of April 3, in accord­ ance with information submitted by Mr. Moses H. Cone. He wrote at the time that he intended to build a mill of 60,00-0 spindles and 2,000 looms for the manufacture of denims, but that the location of the plant was yet In doubt. It may he built at Greensboro but it is quite possible that Roanoke Rapids, N. C., will be selected as the location. Consolidation in Wilmington.

METHODISTS General Conference Holding Its Ses­ sions in Dallas- BISfiOPS READ THEIR ADDRESS. They Deplore the Fect That There v Have Been So Few Accessions to the Church. Dallas, Tex., Special—The first ses­ sion of the fourteenth Quadrienmal Conference of Die Methodist Episcopal Church, South, was called to order by Bishop Wilson, of Baltimore, at 3:20 Wednesday morning in the auditorium at the fair f rounds. Distinguished churchmen and laymen were present from all parts of the South. All ^ sh ­ ops, with the exception of Bi3hop Keener, of New Orleans, ond Bishop Fitzgerald, of Memphis, are in attend­ ance.After the singing of a hymn, Bis»oj Hargrove, of Nashville, Tenn., prayed for “unity, moderation and conserva­ tism” in the Conference and hearty “amens” punctuated his words. Pas­ sages of Scripture were read by Bishop Hendrix, of Kansas, and W. A. Cand­ ler, of-Georgia. Prayer by Dr. Ansoa West, of the North Alabama Confer­ ence, was followed by the addresses of welcome of Governor Sayers, Judge E. B. Perkin, and Rev. G. C. Rankin, all of which were enthusiastically receiv­ ed.The roll-call developed the absence of many delegates. By unanimous vote Dr. John J. Tigert, of Nashville, was elected secretary of the Conference. He nominated for his assistants, Rev. A. F. Watkins, of the Mississippi Conference, and J. M. Bacus, of the Northwest Texas Conference.Governor Sayers was presented to the Conference by Bishop Wilson tc make the address of welcome and the delegates rose to welcome him. Th* Governor was listened to very atten­ tively. He devoted much of his speech to the history of Methodism.Bishop C. B. Galloway, of Jackson Mississippi, replied to Die address of welcome. He said all were glad to b$ here. He knew Texas was a great State and had a great people because the,best people of all the old States had come here.The rules of the last General Con­ ference were adopted and the appoint­ ment of a committee of five to revise the rules were authorized and a motion that sympathies of the Conference be wired to Dr. B. M. Palmer, the celer brated divine of New Orleans, who was recently injured by a street car, wag adopted. A motion to fix a committee of six on credentials was carried. The episcopal address, signed by the college of bishop, was read by Bishop W. W. Duncan, of Spartanburg, S. O.. The address was a lengthy one and two hours were consumed in its reading. It recites that only 38,085 additions to the Church have been made since the last Conference and says something is radically wrong. The bishops also ap­ peal for a better equipped ministry. The bishops say the office of deaconess will be applied for and they entreat the Conference to act wisely and well. An earnest plea was made for the better support of superannuated preachers and widows and orphans of deceased ministers; that a plan be adopted whereby a fund of $100,000 be secured for this purpose. The matter of local preachers working as evangelists was mentioned. The work of the mission boards, Church) extension, and Sunday schools and the literature of the Church was commented upon. Large space was devoted to the schools and colleges of the Church. It was shown that the Publishing House during the past, four years transacted a business of $1,51)0,000, or an increase of $186,- 000. The Publishing House “war claim” was reviewed, showing that the chur­ ches were free from any blame in the matter. A hope was expressed that this -Conference would finally settle this mooted question. The election of two new bishops was asked for. Immediately after the reading of the address Bishop Candler read a letter from Senators A. O. Bacon and A. S. Clay, which he had received in reply tc a letter relative to the course which should be pursued by the Methodist Church in regard to the money which was paid under an act of Congress id settlement of the war claim of the Pub­ lishing House. This letter was signed by eight Senators. The last clause reads as follows: “The report of thd committee and the resolutions adopted by the Senate in explicit terms exoner­ ates the Church from all blame or ground for criticism, for anything which occurred in connection with the passage of the bill and is a clear ex­ pression of opinion that there is no ob­ ligation on the part of the Church to pay the money to the government or make further offer to do so.” live items of news.

Congressman MeCleaty , Minnesota, in a letter to some ot'ij constituents answers these question In a broad, comprehensive, cleat m/i philosophical manner. Ten years a the people of the United States »2? persuaded that prices were too IiitJ and that in order to bving about general reduction in values the g* Kinley tariff should be repealed, n was repealed, and prices fell mightih Four years later the problem Itat' how shall prices be increased? ly! time the Democratic solution was ! flfty-cent dollar. AIcKinley pointed out a better way to restore the good prices that had been foolishly hUD|, away in 1892. His plan was to open the mills instead of the mints. Hij plan was adopted. Prices revived ua- der the workings of a Republican pm! tective tariff. AU prices revived- prices of things to be sold, prices «t things to be bought, prices of labor Tremendous prosperity resulted, groat! er than any people in any period of human history had ever known. That prosperity has continued for nearly five years. There is no break in sight Once again, however, it is contended that prices are too high. Once Sgnia it is proposed to lower prices by tariff revision. It was done in that wny eight years ago. It can be done again In that way. Shall it be done? O nly O ne K ind of llectproclty, There can be no ground whatever !or the familiar contention that another nation will buy from us only as n buy from it. This theory might be re- jected even if experience were not against it, because every one knows that no sentimental or political con­ siderations have large Influence upon trade operations. England and Ger­ many and other foreign countries pur­ chase our food products ia vast quan- tities," not because they love us, not because we favor their production!, but because cur prices are lower than prices offered elsewhere, quality for quality. If we buy more coffee from Brazil than England buys, the Bra­ zilians are not impelled by gratitude to buy manufactured stuffs from as if they can make a better bargain for themselves In England.

Detailed Doings ol Our National Law* makers. HOUSE. Oae hundred and sixth Day—Both the desks of the late Bepresentative Otey, of Virginia, and Cummings, of New York, were draped in mourning Monday. Dr. Conden, the chaplain, in his invocation, dwelt upon the double affliction that had come upon the House and prayed for the family and friends of Mr. Otey. Mr. Jones, of Virginia, announced the death of Mr. Otey, and offered the customary resolutions of regret. In accordance with the terms of the resolutions the Speaker appointed the following committee to attend the funeral: Messrs. Jones, Swan­ son, Bixey, Hay, Lamb and Flood, of Virginia: Hepburn, of Iowa; Meyer, of Louisiana; Jenkins, of Wisconsin; Lanham, of Texas; Olmstead, of Pennsylvania; DeArmond, of Mis­ souri, and McCail, of Massachusetts. Then, at 12:15, as a further mark of respect, the House adjourned. SENATE. One hundredth and sixth Day— In vindication of the administration’s policy in the Philippines, Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, chairman of the Philip­ pine committee, addressed the Senate Monday. Long before he began to speak the galleries were thronged with peo­ple and the attendance on ‘the floor of the Senate was unusually large. Mrs. Cowles, the President’s sister, was an interested auditor. His review of the situation In the islands and the utter­ ances of the minority in criticism of the eondotion there was notabiy inter­ esting, forceful and effective. He spoke with deep earnestness and at times be­ came eloquent. Mr. Lodg3 warmly re­ sented the imputations cast on the President, the Secretary of War and the army, for the alleged cruelties and atrocities said to have been practiced in the Philippines. He said every effort had been employed by the officials in authority to prevent such cruelties as had been referred to and measures had been taken to punish those guilty of them. Such things, hov.'ever, were in­ cidents of every war and could not be prevented absolutely. He had no de­ fense to make of any of the cases of torture which had been cited, but the men of the American army had been provoked almost beyond human endur­ance. He recited scores of instances of cruelties and tortures practiced by the Filipino insurgents on American pris­ oners. Men had had their ears cut off; had been disembowled; had been driv­ en into streams, while drowning, shot to death; had been tied to trees and stoned to death by women and children and buried alive. Others had been shot and boloed treacherously while suc­ coring the wounded. In the face of these horrible atrocities, some of the Ameriacn troops had been guilty of ad­ ministering the “water cure,” but the instances of this kind were isolated and no part of the general policy in the Philippines. Ho warmiy defended Gen­ eral Chaffee for his conduct of military affairs in the islands and paid a bril­ liant tribute to his heroism and patri­ otism. As he concluded his defense of the Amarican army and the adminis­ tration, drew applause from the gal­ leries.In a brief reply, Mr. Bawling, of Utah, declared the charges which had been made were not against General Chaffee or the American army, but against the Senator from Massachu­ setts, Mr. Lodge, and others who were responsible for the present Philippine policy.Both the sundry civil appropriation bill and the bill for the purchase of the Bosebud Indiana reservation were passed.Mr. Lodge, in his address, expressed the hope that the time would come when measures in regard to the Phil­ ippines would be discussed with a view to getting the best legislation possible. One of the objects of the Philippine bill, he said, was to help the develop­ ment of the islands. The opponents of the bill had charged that it opened the way to exploiters, syndicates and car­ pet-baggers. He was aware, ho said, of the gen­ eral hostility of the Democratic par­ ty to any man who has made money, or who is making money, and was the only one of their principles that was carried out with complete success du- ding their last tenure of potver. Tliero was suppressed laughter in the -galler­ ies wlien lie said that few Americans at that time made money. Mr. Lodfe, referring to the charges of torture in the Philippines, said it was a source of hitter regret to him that any American officer or enlisteo man should have tortured any Filipino, or that any order had been issued that on its face seemed revolting. “But,” he said, “there must be some reason for these alleged cruelties.” He then told of three American sol­ diers who were capturod by the Fil­ ipinos. They were stripped naked and told that if they would cry “Long live the Filipino republic!” they might run away into the bush as they were. One of the men stood there naked, in the midst of that hostile band, arid cried: “Long live America! ‘ The Filipinos tied him to a tree and the women and children stoned him to death. The other two lost heart and cried, “Long live tho Filipina republic!” but, notwith­ standing this, they were cut to pieces with bolos. After that, said he, it is no wonder the* comrades of those men went into battle with cries of ven­ geance. “I am not here to excuse cruelty and torture, but I cannot condemn human nature in an American soldier under such circumstances.” Senator Lodge declared that only half of the story of cruelty and torture in the Philippines had been told and he desired to tell the other half be­ cause the honor of the American name was deeply concerned. He then quoted from the records many instances of the atrocities committed by the Filipino insurgents upon the American troops. .Men had been captured as prisoners of ftar and had had their ears cut oil their, intestines cut out and their bodies otherwise horribly mutilated. Others had been driven into streams and while drtfwning had been shot. Still ethers had been buried alive. Statistics show­ ed that the number of natives muti­ lated and assaulted for sympathizing with the Americans aggregated 44-. He pointed out that 07 municipal oliiceis friendly to the Americans had been as­ sassinated, "and 40 hod been assaulicd and mutilated. IS IT OLD FASEIONED? CLAIM IHAT PROTECTION HAS BE- COME OBSOLETE. BaA tlio Docteine of Blaine, IIIcKinley and Dingley Served Its Day and Ont- ilved its Dssfnlness to American In­dustry and Labor? In Its issue of March 24 the Pough­ keepsie Eagle says: “The American Protective Tariff League asks us to join in protesting against any change in the Dingley tariff in connection with the pending reciprocity treaties or reciprocity con­ cessions. We respectfully decline. We believe with all our heart in protec­ tion, but we believe just as fully in reciprocity. The old-fashioned pro­ tection, which built up a wall around our country to keep foreign imports out- has served its day and become ob­ solete. The protection of the future will take iuto consideration all Amer­ ican interests and will be as much concerned with bringing into the country things that we need, and in promoting the export of things which others need, as in keeping out articles which compete with our productions. The American Protective Tariff League has in time past done some very good service, bur it wants to get out of its rut and take a broader .view of things. Some of those who assume to speak for it are showing such a dis­ position to imitate the Democratic policy of organized negation that they are greatly reducing its reputation and influence.” Welcoming fair criticism and honest controversy concerning our aims and methods, we gladly print the above?] expression. It is typical of the view entertained by a very considerable number of important newspapers of EepubIican proclivities, newspapers which, like our Poughkeepsie neigh­ bor, formerly believed unreservedly in the principle and policy of protection, but now are of the opinion that it “has served its day and become obso­ lete." The American Free Trade League holds precisely this view, with the difference that it never held any other view; it always believed that there should be no wall around our country to keep foreign imports out. Free traders never did and do not now want to keep foreign imports out. They want them to come in without re­ striction of any kind. On that Une protectionists and free traders have divided ever since’the organization of our Government Is the line about to be obliterated? !Shall we now tear down the wall and let in the foreign imports? Is that what the Poughkeepsie Eagle means when it avows its acceptance of the new doctrine of “reciprocity” and its rejection of “the old-fa’shioned pro­ tection which built up a wall,” etc.? IE it does not mean that, what, then, does it mean? “Beciprocity,” as now advocated by many newspapers of Bepublican proclivities, either con­ templates a larger importation of com­ petitive articles and an equivalent dis­ placement of domestic production, or it amounts to nothing. Beciprocity “in articles which we do not ourselves produce,” and which will not lessen the sum total of employment and wages in this country, would be of relatively little value to foreign pro­ ducers. That kind of reciprocity we already have. TFith “the things we need,” we are amply supplied, and they are nearly all on the free list. A trifle less than half of the total bulk of our imports are non-dutiable. We are liberal buyers of “the things we need,” and there is no tariff on those things. Keciprocitj' takes no account of arti­ cles of this kind. They are wholly ex­ cluded from the scheme. What it aims at and insists upon is that we shall tear down the wall and let in a lot of things which we do not,need. If we don’t do that, we don’t “recipro­ cate.” That is the situation in a nut­ shell, and we are indebted to the Poughkeepsie Eagle for presenting the issue in a shape so practical and tangible. It has assisted in the ’plain presentment of the question, Has the old-fashioned protection “served its day,” and is it “obsolete?" The Be- publisffn party is now engaged in • wrestling with that problem in con­ nection with the ,domestic production of sugar and tobacco. What will be the solution? Not such, we hope, as shall register the decision that pro­ tection for each and every domestic industry is “old-fashioned,” is “obso­ lete” and has “served its day.”- PROMINENT PHYSICIANS USE AND ENDORSE PE-RU-NA.

The higher books come the more the collector Wants them, • Slionltl Co C areful, No tariff is perfect, even for the time at which it is framed. Every tariff act, like legislation of many other sorts, is a compromise among diverse interests. It satisfies no one entirely; and it grows, in spots, less and less satisfactory as time alters conditions. But there is always a chance that when any revision at all of a tariff is attempted, the whole system is taken up for discussion. In every instance when tariff changes have been started the changes have affected more arti­ cles than the changes intended at the outset. One of the consequences of this tinkering has been that men in nearly all sorts of industries have been made uncertain regarding the outlook, and as a consequence enterprise is blighted for the time. The Bepublican party has a special incentive to be careful about tariff tinkering at the present time. An election for Congress will take place some nlontlis hence, and Congressional elections which come at the middle of a Presidential term are apt to hamper the party in power in the Presidency. The Republicans, of course, went through tlic Congressional canvass of 1S9S, in tho middle of President Mc­ Kinley’s service, successfully, but their lead in the House of Representatives, was considerably shortened. On the other hand, the Democrats in 1S94, in tho middle of President Cleveland’s second tevm, and the Republicans in 1SS0, half-way in the service of Presi­ dent Harrison, met a disastrous de­ feat, which was a presage of the over­ throw, in each ease, of these parties at the polls in the Presidential can­ vass two years later.—Oyste^ Bay (N.

Sheek.- T he above figures are ac­ curate, as taken from the tax books. T his ihay be increased by some who were not listed. The majority' of the w hite men who failed to pay, and who are in the County, are Democrats, Davie is a sm all county, and yet these fig­ ures Bhow th a t 113 w hites failed to. pay ihis tax, and are thus dis­ qualified from voting. O ur opin is, that- a t least 30,000 w hite men will be disfranchised by this poll tax reqnirm ent, and yet Democrat­ ic speakers told it on the stunip all over the state in -1900' th at no w hite m an would lie disfranchised. My. Simmons seems to be gloating over the idea th at m ore w hite ’Re publicans than Democrats aredis- frauehised.' This fact alone sus­ tains our position all along, th at the poor w hite m an was as m uch in the way of Simm ons’. M achine, really more so than the negro. W hen M r. Simmons says inord R e­ publicans have lost their right than Democrats, we very seriously' doubt the assertion, for if you will take the black belt, w here the Dem ocrats got their m ajority two years ago, it strikes us th a t they have killed.the goose th a t laid the golden egg, for w ith less th an 29, 00 w hite voters, H alifax County gave M r.

So if the negroes are left off ip H alifax and other E astern counties, where will they get their m ajority this year I T he w hite people can read the fig­ ures of their undoing aud think and reflect upon the fair and fer­ tile prom ises m ade by the Sim ­ mons M achine.

From these figures it is hardly to be believed th a t the uum ber of w hite men disfranchised by the constitutional am endm ent at the coming election will be as few as I f 1OOfif- I t seems more likely that the grand total from all coun - ties of th e state will be double that num ber. M r. Simmons guessed iu advance a t the “ m ajorities” th at some of the negro counties would yield to the dem ocratic ticket, but this is a different proposition. In one.of his famous symposiums of the cam paign for the August election of 1900 M r. Simmons said: (‘In th e last cam paign the demo­ cratic party did prom ise the w hite people of N orth Carolina th a t no w hite m an should be disfranchised for lack of education or ON A C ­ COUNT O F H IS PO V ERTY, am i it prom ised the w hite women as well as the w hite m en of N orth Carolina th at if it would perm a­ nently establish w hile suprem acy throughout th e state.

Simmons, will you please read th e following from the Raleigh correspondent of the C har­ lotte O bserver of a lew days ago: ‘Sheriff Page of this county says a t least 500 w hite m en of this county failed to pay poll tax in W ake.’ N ot a few were really un­ able to pay th is little tax, he says, so h ard are they pressed by the last year’s crop failure. In fact, few people outside of the sections of th e state, w hich suffered so far from last year’s crop failure can have any idea of w hat m any of th e poorer farm ers and th eir fam ilies have h ad to endure from last Oc­ tober to th e present. I t was ‘short commons’ w ith a great m any of them .” E very one of those 500 w hite men in the county of W ake who failed to pay his poll tax previous to the date fixed by yon and your tools, M r.

Most Destructive VGlcanic Eruption _ - Recorded in History A WHOLE CITY SWEPT BY FIRE That Belched Forth' From fit Peleet On the Island of Martinique, in the West Indies— Graphic Description of Awful Catastrophe. St. Pierre, Island of Martinique, was last week the scene of the most de­ structive volcanic eruption recorded in the world’s history. The town was one of about 30,000 population, composed of natives, French and other foreigners. It was nestled close to the side of Mt. Pelee, which though known to have been in Wme past an active volcano, was thought to be extinct. Though, the mountain had recently shown evi­ dences of activity, the inhabitants of the citj and surrounding country re- : fused to believe that danger lurked in its hidden fires, and with strange fa­ tality remained passively at their em­ ployment until the stream of fire and molten earth rushed down and over­ whelmed them. Of the entire popula­ tion of the teeming city, less than a dozen persons escaped. The vessels in the harbor with their crews fared no better. One only escaped to relate the graphic story of the catastrophe. The property loss is gigantic; the loss of life appalling. The following cable dispatches tell the horrible story: Tour of Wrecked City. Fort de France, Martinique, By Cable —It is now generally estimated that about 30,000 persons lost their lives at St. Pierre as a result of the outbreak of the Mount Pelee volcano last Thursday. How many perished in smaller towns and on plantations is not known. The United States Consul at Guade- lope, Col. Louis H. Ayme, has made a tour of the desolate site where St. Pierre stood. From an interview with Col. Ayme, who is a trained American newspaper man, formerly of Chicago, the following facts are learned:Thursday morning the inhabitants of the city awoke to find heavy clouds shrouding the Mount Pelee crater. All day Wednesday horrid detonations had been heard. These were echoed from St. Thomas, on the north, to Barbados, on the south. The cannonading ceased Wednesday night and fine. ashes fell like rain on St. Pierre. The inhabitants •were alarmed, but Governor Mouttet, who had arrived at St. Pierre the ev­ening before, did everything possible . to allay the panic. The British steamer Roraima reach­ ed St. Pierre Thursday with 10 passen­ gers, among whom were Mrs. Stokes and her three children, and Mrs. H. J. Ince. They were watching the rain of ashes, when, with a frightful roar and terrific electric discharge, a vast mass of fire, mud and steam swept down from the crater over city and bay, sweeping all before it and destroying the fleet of vessels at anchor off the shore. Thirty thousand corpses are now strewn about, buried in the ruins of St. Pierre or else floating, gnawed by sharps, in the surrounding seas. Twen­ ty-eight charred, half dead ,survivors from the scene have been brought here. Sixteen of them are already dead, and of the whole number only four arc ex­ pected to recover. Enormous Qflantities of the wreckage of large and small ships and houses now strew the surface of the sea. Huge trees and many bodies, with flocks of sea gulls soaring above and hideous sharks fighting about them, are floating here and there. From behind the vol­canic veil come blasts of hot wind sin ­ gled with others ice-cold. At Le Precheur, three miles north of St. Pierre, canoes with men and women frantic to get away, are begsing pass­age on the steamer. The whole north end of the island is covered with a silver gray coating of ashes resembling dirty snow. Furious blasts of fire, ashes and mud sweep over the ruins of St. Pierre, which stretch nearly two miles along the wa­ ter front and half a mile back to a cliff at the base of the volcano. The still smoking volcano towers above the ash-covered hills. The ruins are burning in many places and fright­ ful odors of burned flesh fill the air. Not one house is left intact. Heaps of mud, ashes and volcanic stones are seen on every side. The streets can hardly be traced. Here and there, amid the ruins are heaps of corpses, almost all of the faces being downward. In one corner 22 bodies of men, women and children were mingled in one awful mass, arms and legs protruding as the hapless be­ ings fell in the last struggles of death’s agony. Through the middle of the old Place Bertin runs a tiny stream. Great trees with roots upward and scorched by fire, are strewn in every direction. Huge hot stones are scattered about. From under one large stone the arm of a white woman protruded. The utter silence and awful, over- powering odor from the thousands of dead were fearful. Careful inspection shows that the fiery streams which destroyed St. Pierre must have been composed in part of poisonous gases, which instantly suf­ focated everyone who inhaled them, and other gases burning furiously. t Nearly all the victims had their hands covering their mouths, showing that they had sought relief from suffocation. All the bodies are carbonized or roased. *Every vestige of clothing was burned away from the charred bodies, and in many cases the abdomens had been burst open by the intense heat. In one place a group of nine children were found locked in each other’s arms. Three hours’ exploration of the ruins of St. Pierre resulted in the finding />f no trace of the American consulate. Consul Thomas T. Prentissf his wife and two daughters are undoubtedly dead. The quarter of the city is still a vast mass of blazing ruins. Nor has any trace been found of James Japp, the British consul. Mr. Japp had a large family at St. Pierre.From the Island of Dominica it is learned that many refugees are losing their lives trying to cross the channel from Martinique.The eruption continues progressively northward. Famine, now threatens to add its horrors to the situation. Food has already become scarce everywhere in Martinique. Terrible suffering can be averted only by the arrival of pro­ vision ships.S t Pierre has served as the store­ house of the entire island. Reserve supplies were kept there, and with the destruction of that city starvation be­ came an immediate menace. Fort-de- France, with a population of about 12,- 000, has been little more than a mili-. tary fort, so that it is now unable Io give more than shelter to the refugees. Showers of hot mud and cinders have served to keep the people of Fort-de- France in constant terror, though no actual damage is known to have been done there. An Eye Witness. Ellery S. Scott, first officer of the steamer Roraima, who was rescued from the wreck of that ship in St. Pierre harbor says:“It was about daylight on the morn­ing of May 8 when we sighted Marti­ nique. We had run through a thunder­ storm and we steamed ahead for St. Pierre. At 6 o’clock we were at an­ chorage off the Place Bertin landing. “When the agent, with lighters and stevedores, came alongside, they told us that Mount Pelee had been acting ugly ever since the previous Saturday, and that there had been a heavy fall of hot cinders over St. Pierre itself. How­ ever, the volcano seemed to have quieted down, and we got the steve­ dores to work smartly. “Twenty vessels were anchored in the harbor. One of them was the Ta- jsaya, a bark from the French port of Nantes. There were four other large sailing vessels. The British steamer Boddam put into the berth next to ours and let drop her anchor. "Then something happened. There was a shaking in the air, so that we felt as if someone had jostled us. “A man near us cried out:“ ‘My God, look at that!' ” “He was looking at Pelee, and every soul on board looked, too. I can’t de­ scribe what I saw, of course, but my first thought was that the end of the world would look just like that. “It was just as if the mountain had been blown up by all the dynamite in the world. First of all, a great pillar of flame rushed straight up in the air, then it opened out wider than the mountain itself and came roaring down out of the sky upon us. Some of us rushed to the forecastle head to heave the anchor. I saw the captain shout­ ing orders and I saw Foster, the engi-• neer, drop below. I “As we reached the ship’s head the j fiery cloud was upon us. Rough stones,. scalding mud and red splashes of flame I dropped and scattered all over the j ship. j “Ships were swallowed up by an : enormous wave. I “There was another roar, and with it I all the water in the harbor seemed to i get up and rush upon the shipping. I Eveiy craft heeled over to the great ! tidal wave and seemed to sink, j “When the wave strucK us it flooded us fore and aft, sweeping away the * masts, funnel, all the small boats save one and part of the deck. “There was a ventilator at hand, and to saye myself I seized it, but was nearly killed, being driven into it by the force of the wave. A couple of j stevedores pulled me out of the venti- ; lator and dragged me into the steerage. There I remained, half dead, for quite a time, during which the ship rolled and the fire and rocks battered the decks. “Now and then a charred and shriek­ing sailor rolled down the hatchway ■ and died as he came, so that a pile of corpses lay over me. Someone pulled me from under these. I clambered to the deck and began turning a hand to­ ward saving the injured who were ly­ing all about, though even then small red-hot stones and mud were falling. “Captain -Muggah, of our ship, was burned almost beyond recognition. “As I was about this work Captain ; Muggah came along. I knew him by : his clothes, though these were smolder­ ing, but his face was scorched beyond recognition. “ ‘Lower the boat1.’ he said. “I could not obey his orders, for the boat that was left by the tidal wave was burned full of holes by the flaming rain. I saw no more of the captain after that, but I was told by a steve­ dore of St. Kittis that he jumped over­ board and got on a raft which had been hurriedly put together, and that lie died there. ttis time the sea ^as rolling like the heaviest kind of groundswell Pelee was roaring, and the air full of strange shocks. “When I looked at St. Pierre the sight was terrifying.

The cemetery, you see, is half up the mountain, just where it turns below what we girls used to call the ‘corkscrew,’ an old crater which had a winding path, down which we' used to lead visitors to the island*."The other girls who were with me did not want to go because they thought I could not run up there and be down at the Cathedral in time, but I hurried. When I got to the ‘corkscrew I saw some puffs of smoke coming out of it, and thinking it was only some old negro lighting a Are I did not go t0“I°had hardly gone more than three steps farther when I felt a hot wind from the ‘corkscrew.’ Thinking that somethink must be on Are, I ran to the top of the path and there I saw the bottom of the pit all red, boiling, wiui IitUe blue flames shooting up from it. There were two guides leading a wo­ man up the Dath and hunting as fast as they could" run. I saw a puff of blue smoke seem to hit the party and they fell as if killed.“Horror-stricken, I stayed a minute or two until I saw the boiling stui? creep up the side of the ‘corkscrew.’ I got frightened then and ran down the road as fast as I could, screaming all the way. I was too frightened to stop and tell anybody.“Just as I got to the main street of St. Pierre I Saw the boiling StuB burst from the top of the ‘corkscrew’ and run down the side of the hill.

Wiesbaden, Germany, May l2.—Em peror William has telegraphed to Pres­ ident Loubet, in French, as follows."Profoundly moved by the news of the terrible catastrophe which has just overtaken St. Pierre and which has cost the lives of nearly as many per­ sons as perished at Pompeii, I hasten to offer France my most sincere sym­ pathy. May the Almighty comfort the hearts of those Who weep for their parable losses. My Ambassador will remit to your Excellency the sum of 10,000 marks in my behalf as a contri­ bution for the reiief of the afflicted.” President Loubet replied: "Am greatly touched by the mark or sympathv which, in this terrible mis­ fortune that has fallen on France, your Majesty has deigned to convey to me. I beg you to accept my warm thanks and also the gratitude of the victims whom you propose to succor.” Xt is noted that Emperor William has gotten some of his facts wrong, as not over 2,000 persons perished at Pompeii and not over 5,000 at both Pompeii and Herculaneum. Paris, May 12—The Czar has tele­ graphed to President Loubet expressing the sincere sympathy of himself and the Czarina, who, he says, share with France the sorrow caused by the terri­ ble West Indian catastrophe. King Edward has sent 25,000 francs (about $5,000) as his contribution to the fund being raised here for the relief of the sufferers from the disaster.

It is thought the boat was too light to be swamped by the tidal wave. one mass of traveling flame. It is im­ possible to reach the burning district by land or sea, and there are no means of estimating the destruction wrought to life and property. Kings ton, the capital of St. Vincent, is still safe, though showers of ashes and pebbles are continually falling on the town. The volcano itself is invisible. Worse Than Stated.

Not a living person has been discov­ ered; not a building which was not de­stroyed. Some of the bodies have been identi­ fied, though badly disfigured or nearly consumed by the flames which de­ voured the city. There were heart­ rending scenes when announcements were made by the French Government officials of these identifications.. Fire continues to rage in the greater part of the city, making satisfactory progress there by the searchers impos­sible. Fort-de-France is full of refugees from the surrounding country whose homes have been destroyed by the deep fall of hot cinders, mud and burning SEina from the volcano. Food for the refugees is required at once. There is little to be had at Fort- de-France, and urgent appeals have al­ ready been made to the neighboring islands. Their stock is limited and un­ less outside help is forthcoming soon famine threatens those who escaped the holacaust. Rivers Overflowing. London, By Cable.—The Colonial- Office received the following cable dls* patch from Administrator Bell, of the Island of Dominica B. W. I.: “The Martinique catastrophe appears to be even more terrible than at first reported. Refugees arriving here say that new cratei 3 are open in many di­ rections, that rivers are overflowing and that large areas in the north of the island are submerged. Other districts are crowded with survivors. Almost total darkness continues. I do not be­lieve Guadeloupe can adequately re­ lieve the stupendous distress.” GHROJNtIC TARIFF RIPPERS UNEASY SPIRITS ALWAYS HACKING AWAY AT THE SCHEDULES. had been stated. The administrator's reports show that the country on the east coast, between Robin Rock and Georgetown was apparently struck and devastated in a manner similar to that which destroyed St. Pierre, and I fear that practically all living things in that radius were killed. Probably 1,000 persons lost their lives. The exact num­ ber will never be known. Managers and overseers of the estates, with the families and several of the better class of people, have been killed. A thous­ and bodies have been found and buried. One hundred, and sixty persons are In the hospital at Georgetown. Probably only six of this number will recover. ‘‘The details of the disaster are too harrowing for description. I got to St. Lucia on a coasting steamer, which is running up and down the leeward coast, with water and provisions. Twenty-two hundred have received relief. AU the neighboring British colo­ nies are assisting generously. Every ef­ fort is being made to grapple with the awful calamity. All the best sugar estates in the Carib country are devas­ tated and the cattle are dead. The eruption continues but is apparently moderating. Anxiety is still felt. AU the officers and residents are co-oper- ating with me. Ladies are making clothing.” Castries, St. Lucia.—The signal sta­tion here .reports that a large fire was seen Wednesday night in the direction of Fort-de-France, Martinique. ,The British steamer Savan, Captain Hun­ ter, arrived here this morning and re­ ports Mount Pelee to be still in erup­ tion. The trend of the flow from the volcano is to the north. The search parties which are removing the ’lead from St. Pierre have discovered ;afes and molten and precious metal in stores and dwellings of the town. R. R. rien Elect Officers.

C., Special.—The Democratic congressional campaign committee has decided to make its headquarters in Washington and to increase the executive committee from 11 to 14 members, of whom eight shall be members of the con­ gressional campaign committee and six from the outside. It is understood that Ben. T. Cable, of Illinois,, will accept the chairmanship of the com­ mittee. The headquarters of the com­ mittee will'he in Chicago and this committee will have charge of the congressional campaign in , the West, To Go To San Domingo. Washington, SpeciaL-In view of the critical state of affairs, in Hayti and San Domingo, the Navy Department is making plans to send the training ship Topeka, now at Port Royal, to San Do­mingo City, to fill the place niade va­ cant by the dispatch of the Cincinnati to Martinique. Orders have gone for­ward to have the Topeka made ready for sea, and unless the situation in the two little republics is materially al­ leviated, she will sail for the scene of troublo in a Bhort time. Wages Raised. Louisville, Special.—On account of the increase of cost of living the.Con­ tinental Tobacco Company, through its vice president, C. E. Halliwel, of New York, ordered an increase of 10 per cent, in the wages of all its Louisville employes under the grade of foremen, who will number more than 5,000. The increase will add $7,500 to the weekly pay roll of the company in this city. It is said the order of the company is ! general and the 30,000 to 35,000 eni- j'ployes throughout the .United States j will be benefited equally. Negro Attacks Jailer. Roanoke, Va., Special.—When Jail­ er Craig entered the jail corridors Wednesday evening he was murder­ ously assaulted by two negro prison­ ers who had hoped to make their escape. During a struggle- which fol­ lowed one of the negroes. Bob Payne, was shot and family injured by Jailer Craig. The men escaped from the jail two weeks ago with ten others, but were recaptured. Richmond for Headquarters, Richmond, Special.—This city is to remain American, headquarters of Imperial Tobacco Company ,of Great Eritain and Ireland. E. H. M. Gunn, one of the directors of the British tobacco trust, who has just come from England, gave out this informa­ tion. Mr. Gunn said: “Wo are very much pleased with your city and . have been much imTO-essed with* the I progressiveness of the place. Rich- I mond is a splendid., place, and we will j continue. our. headquarters here;’’ ; Asphalt in Texas. Austin, Tex.,-Special.—In the oil fields near here, the drill in the No. 6 well, at a depth of 142 feet, dropped into a lake of liquid asphalt,-which is so thick and heavy that further drill­ ing is almost impossible. The heavy black matter oozed up into the well for quite a distance. An expert pronounces it the finest kind of liquid asphalt. There is but one other place that it is found and that is in Trinidad. Boers Assemble. London, By Cable.—Lord Kitchener has notified the War Office that repre­ sentatives of all the bodies of Boers throughout the Transvaal and Orange River Colony are gathered at Vereen- iging for the. conference and that he has arranged that the delegates shall not be impeded in reaching the rendez­ vous. Consequently the assemblage is expected to be large. The decision reached regarding the peace terms wiil iater be submitted .to. the British. A delegation, consisting probably of the same Boer leaders who went to Pre­ toria recently, will be deputized to con- Quebec, Special.—Colonel John F. Gaynor and Captain B. D. Greene, who forfeited their ball at Savannah, Ga., early in March, and fled to Canada, were placed under arrest by officers connected with the United States Secret Service and Chief Carpenter, of the Montreal detective force, Thurs­ day. The arrests were" made on war­ rants issued in Montreal, Chief Wilkie’s men assisting the Canadian officers to make the arrests. The men were hur­ ried on board a swift little tug which had been kept in waiting at the wharf. Ten minutes after Greene and Gaynor were safely on board, the boat steamed out into the-river and started toward Montreal. The officers moved so quickly that neither of the prisoners was given an opportunity to consult counsel. When notified of her husband’s arrest, Mrs. Gaynor at onco consulted Mr. Tachereau, her husband’s attorney. A tug was chartered and an attempt was made to overtake the boat on which Gaynor and Greene were being carried away. After a short chase it was seen by those on board the pursuing tug that it would be impossible to overtake the detective boat, the Spray, one of the swiftest tugs on the St. Lawrence, and the pursuit was abandoned. On return­ ing to the city it was decided to charter, a special train and attempt to head off the Spray at some point between this city and Monereal.The arrest of Greene and Gaynor and ;he manner in which it was accomplish­ ed caused considerable. excitement in the city, where both men. have become well known. When the two Americans first arrived in Quebec they were fol­ lowed by two men, also from the Unit­ ed States, who registered at the Cha­ teau Frontenac. Their movements led the hotel employes to believe that they were detectives sent here to watch Greene and Gaynor. It now developes that one of these men is Detective Burke, of Florida. Thursday morning Mr. McAlester, a prominent lawyer of Montreal, who, it is rumored, is en­ gaged by the prosecution, arrived here by boat from Montreal. On the same boat with him were six detectives, in­ cluding Chief Carpenter, of Montreal. They were met at the wharf on their arrival by Detective Burke. At 10:30 a well-dressed man engaged a cabman by the hour and instructed him to wait near the postoffice. Soon afterwards Burke, with another cab, ar­ rived. Burke and two other men who came up, walked toward the Chateau Frontenac, which is near by. In the meantime, Mr. Greene, who had en­ tered the postoffice, as was his daily custom, came out of the main door. Two strangers who had been in waiting in a store near by, crossed the street and one of them placing his hand on Greene’s shoulder, pulled a document from his pocket and asked him to en­ ter the first cab. Greene was heard to say: "Wait a minute, until I see a friend,” but this was denied Jiimi and the three detectives and Green entered the cab and were driven to the wharf. While the arrest of Greene was being accomplished, Burke and the other de­ tectives went to the Chateau Fronten­ ac. Colonel Gaynor was standing at the clerk’s desk when they entered. The three detectives walked up to Gaynor, one taking hold of his right arm and the other his left, while Burke produced a legal paper. Colonel Gaynor asked permission to get his overcoat, but he was not permitted to do so and the four hurried out to the cab and started for the wharf at a rapid pace. These proceedings occupied about 20 minutes. The hotel people notified Col­ onel Gaynor’s counsel of what had oc­ curred. The Attorney General’s depart­ ment and Ju'dge Chauveau were notified and they in turn asked the police to in­ vestigate the matter. Half an hour af­ ter the departure of the Spray, an­ other tug was engaged by Mrs. Gay­ nor. She went on board with Detec­tive Walsh. The Pursuit of the Spray was given up at Cape Rouge, .8 miles from the city. The Spray was then almost out of sight- down the river. Upon the return of Mrs. Gaynor to the city, the lawyers in the case had a short consultation with her, and immediately two petitions for ha­beas corpus, ordering the return of Gaynor and Greene to this city, were prepared, and two orders were signed to that effect by Judge Andrews, in the Superior Court. In the meantime four members of the provincial police left by the 1:15 Canadian Pacific Railroad train for Three Rivers, with orders to secure a tug there and try to intercept the Spray. The latter town is 90 miles from Quebec and just half way be­tween here and Montreal. The pe­ titions were sworn to by Mrs. Gay­ nor, who alleges' that her husband and Greene were taken away against their consent and without giving them time to see counsel or take legal measures -to prevent their ar­ rest While the petitions were be­ ing prepared a special train was or­ dered over the Canadian Pacific rail­ road and at 3:50 the chase began. On the train are Messrs. Cannon and Chauveau, attorneys in the case, who are bearers of the petition; High Constable Gale and eight detectives. News in Paragraphs.

People Wiso In Tlieir Own Conceit BveiSeekins ia Soms Way to Bloclliy Any !Law WIitcli Embodies tlio Protective Frinciple-Tariff XtevIsion .Unwise, There is a class of persons, wise in their own conceit, always seeking to modify in some way every tariff that embodies the protective principle. It may fairly be said of these individuals that no protective tariff yet devised lias ever pleased them or subdued their desire to rip it up at some point. When once the work of alteration is begun no one can tell where it will stop. Be­ hind these uneasy persons are massed the whole forces of the free trade army, eagerly urging them forward and ready to add their votes, to every movement whose object is disintegra­ tion. The tariff law now in. force in the United States had for its authors some of the ablest tariff students of their time. Its chief architect and spokesman was Nelson Dingley. He had the full concurrence of President McKinley, who signed the law, with­ out objections to any of its provisions or doubt as to its practical results. These two men have passed away while in the faithful service of the ‘people. The law they largely molded has worked well. It is identified with a period of high prosperity succeeding one of great depression. It has yielded revenue to an adequate extent, and that includes the repeal of the war taxes. In the course of future years there will be tariff revision, and if the peo­ ple are wise it will be conducted by the party of judieious protection. But that time has not yet arrived. The general business of the United States is at high tide. So remarkable has been the expansion of American ac­ tivities since 1S0G that the attention of other nations is centered on this country, and they are sending special representatives to look into our finan­ cial and industrial conditions and methods. This situation and Repub­ lican politics are identified with each other. Democratic organs deny that they Sre related as to cause and ef­ fect. Bnt the people know ths.t pros­ perity and the Dingley tariff, with sound finance, stand together as an accomplished fact in our political his­ tory. Nevertheless, the tariff tinkers insist that if they can alter a few schedules they can improve matters, forgetting that if allowed to have their way other tinkers would follow in their wake with fresh theories, for a few more touches here and there. Business men do not want the tariff disturbed at this time. A feeling of confidence prevails, and, encouraged by the prospect of stability, the most enterprising class is branching out. Manufacturers can closely calculate margins of profit and afford to risk much if the foundation is secure. But let the tariff tinkers get in their work, and what must happen? A change in one schedule creates a demand to rip up others, and in the end the whole fabric would probably be involved, consuming the time of Congress that could be much better applied to other purposes. Meanwhile, business would halt because of the element of uncer­ tainty introduced. Foreign commerce would be thrown out of balance by an­ ticipated reductions. Is it wise to let well enough alone? Undoubtedly, the business Interests of tile United States think the rule a good one.—St. Louis Globe-Demoerat. . Democratic Still Fond* There is a game the children play, called “still pond.” One player is blindfolded and the others move around until the leader calls, “Still pond, no moving.” ■ Then the blind­ folded one tries to catch some one else, and If possible to tell who it is without removing the bandage from the eyes. If successful the player so caught becomes “It” for the next game, In much the same way the Demo­ cratic party is seeking out a leader for the next national campaign. It has no settled policy, and a majority of its members agree that it has no plat­ form that may not readily be dis­ pensed with or reversed if the cir­ cumstances seem to require it. Ir Congress and outside’ the only thing it can do is to oppose whatever the Re­ publicans propose and criticise what­ ever ^he Republicans do. And so the Democratic party is hunt* ing around in the dark for a statesman, and all the Democrats who have as­ pirations are keeping very still and quiet, for the reason that whenever any one of them makes enough noise to attract any attention all the others unite in a loud whisper: “For good­ ness’ sake, don’t catch that one.1 Colorado Springs Gazette.

OaMdSfitBfMaeon, Gab GENERAL ASSEMBLY Of Southern Presbyterian Church in Session WEALTHY COLLEGES CHRISTLESS, Said the Retiring Moderator in His Sermon on the Opening Day of the Assembly. Jackson, Miss., Special.—The forty- second session of the General As­ sembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States was opened prom­ ptly at 11 o’clock Thursday morning in the auditorium of the First Pres­ byterian church. F ull. delegations from the various churches were present. Dr. S. H. Chester, secretary of the foreign missions board, read ’ the Scripture lesson, which was followed by prayer led by Dr. R. P. Morris. Rev. Leander M. Woods, the retiring moderator of the Assembly, preached the opening sermon, which was uni­ que and masterful, the idea being drawn from First Samuel, 1:13-19-22, being, "The Smithies Under Philis­ tine Control, or Christian Schoolsthe Ciying Need of Our Time.’’ Of all the issues that are facing the Christian intelligence of today none is of such transcendent importance. Dr. Woods thinks that the church should own and control its own smithies; that is, own agencies for forging the weapons which she must use to live. Pagan pchoois are wrecking the church. Dr. Woods defines a Christian school as a school taugh tby Chris­ tians, one whose curriculum is in harmony with revealed truth. Of the eighteen million youths at school sixteen millions are in State schools. Dr. Woods’ estimate of their re­ ligious condition was not flattering. “These State institutions are with only the rarest exceptions absolutely devoid of every feature of evangeli­ cal religion. In their class rooms the Bible is never taught or even read, in them the voice of prayer is never heard. They are almost as Christless so far as respects their curricula a3 the schools of the Jewish rabbis or the great Mohammedan University of Cairo and even more godless, for in the latter the Supreme Being is at least recognized and His claim to worship and service pressed home., upon the hearts of the students. The public schools of our country, indeed, do possess the advantage of having in them a great many teachers who are lovely Christians and are com­ passed with all the restraining and helpful influences of a ChrisUan pub­ lic sentiment, but the public schools themselves do next to nothing to en­hance the spiritual welfare of their resepective communities. They are simply kept from utter demolariza- Uon by the Christian atmosphere, which exists in spite of them. Only a-few years ago Prof. Andrews, then at the head of the public schools of Chicago, forbade the reading therein of Rudyard Kipling’s Recessional hymn, because in it mention is made of “The Lord God of Hosts.” Of the remaining two million students in the United States few are in distinctively Christian schools. Of the $147,000,000 invested in institutional endowments, $106,000,000, or more than 73 per cent., are owned by the 13 wealthiest universities of our country, and of these thirteen universities not a single one is under the control of any church whatever. AU of them are by their own rating what is called ‘non­ sectarian’ schools; and bear in mind these millions do not include the buildings, libraries, museums, etc., but only the income as producing capital. Among these thirteen prince­ ly schools are included LeIand Stan­ ford, . Girard, Harvard, Columbia, Carnegie, Chicago, Cornell and oth­ ers, whose relations to evangelical religion are well understood. These thirteen schools have on their rolls from two to five thousand students eacn, among wnom are mumtuaes or the men who are to rule America for the next generation.” Dr. Woods laid the magnificent proposition before the Assembly of the founding of a great Southern University. “I feel like crying out,” said he, “why can­ not we set in motion at this As­ sembly plans which shall look to­ wards the founding of at least one finely endowed university, amply equipped, which shall abide far aU time as a monument to the Southern Presbyterian church?” ilountain’s Sunimlt Gone. Kingston, B. W. I.,-By Cable—No one has yet been able to approach within eight miles of the crater of Soufriere volcano, but judging from what can be seen from a considerable distance, the old lake at the summit of the mountain has disappeared. The num­ erous fissures in the mountain continue ti”throw out vapor, and the subterrane­ an murmurings and tremblings indi­ cate continuous unrest. During the afternoon on Monday a dense volume of steam and smoke rose from the vol­ cano and the whole island was covered by a peculiar mist. The inhalation of noxious vapors here is increasing the ipread of sickness. Starvation threat­ ens the poorer classes of the afflicted district. War to the End. Hazleton, Pa., Special.—The anthra­ cite mine workers in convention late Thursday afternoon ,decided to con­ tinue the strike of the 145,000 men against the mine owners and to fight it out to the bitter end. The matter of calling out the engineers, firemen and pump runners will be decided by the delegates. The debate to continue the suspension was as follows: Vote cast 811; for strike, 461(4; against strike. 349%; majority for strike, 11%. Railroads to Dodge Volcanos. Mexico City, Special.—It is reported here that the Mexico Central Railway will deflect its line under construction from a point on. its Guadalajara divis­ ion to Manzanillo, in order to avoid proximity to the volcano of Colima, which has been more or less active ever since the earthquake at Chilpancingo. There is much alarm at present among residents of Colima, owing to the ac­ tivity of the volcano, which is smokmg. Many slight earthquakes have been experienced, terrifying the people en- gfiged In tAmU£*- MADE NEW DOCTORS OF MEDICINE Graduating Class of Medical Depart, ment of Davidson College. Davidson, Special.—The annual com­ mencement of the North Carolina Med­ ical College was celebrated- Monday evening in the Shearer hall. The audi­ torium was packed and in spite of the hot night the exercises were ‘ greatly enjoyed. Drs. Wakefield, Strong, Rus- 'sell and Nesbit, of Charlotte, were among the visitors. These gentlemen, have been interested with Dr. Munroe In his dispensary in Charlotte. The exercises of the evening were opened with prayer by Dr. Graham. Rev. D. N. McLaughlin, of Chester, S. C., was then introduced as the orator. Mr. McLaughlin spoke on “The Advantages and Perils of Specializing.” His ad­ dress abounded in wit and humorous stories, and delighted the large audi­ ence. The degree of M. D. was confer­ red upon the following young men: W. H. Boone, J. A. Dowd, I. F. Hicks, H. W. Judd, L. R. Kirkpatrick, J. P. Matheson, H. S. Munroe, J. R. Mc­ Cracken, A. B. McQueen, J. W. McLean, E. W. Phifer, J. A. Sisk, L. C. Skinner, T. H. Stronheoker, W. I. Taylor, S. M. Withers, E. M. Yount Bhd James Young. Hit His Wife With Au Axe. Charlotte, Special.—Lee Gabriel, col­ored, who drives a.baggage wagon for J. W. Wadsworth’s Sons, struck his wife, Pauline, three times with an axe Tuesday afternoon, and she will di9 from the wounds. He says she nagged him and attacked him and he Struck her in self-defense. Pauline is uncon­ scious and will probably die without telling anything. The tragedy occurred at 5:30 o’clock in the afternoon on East Third street, at the home of Gab­ riel, who is betted as “Molly Darlin,” a soubriquet given him by Charlotte negroes upon his arrival here from Statesville some years ago. Colored people who live close to the house heard the sound of quarreling and then of a struggle, heard the wild sobbing of a little negro-girl. There was silence for a few minutes, and- then Gabrial came from the hause with a valise in his hand and hurriedly walked away. After his departure the neighbors en­ tered Gabriel’s house and found Pau­line lying behind the kitchen stove, covered with blood. Her four-year-old child was lying half under her and be­ tween her body and the wall. Evidently she had toppled over on the child after been stricken. An investigation show­ ed that Pauline had been hit three times with an axe, which lay close to her body. With each blow the point of the axe penetrated the skull on the top of the head, and the woman’s brain3 came out of each wound. Smallpox In Union. Monroe, Special.—SmaUpox was dis­ covered on the farm of Mr. Henry Frank Williams, near Wingate. Mr. John G. Bass, who had been sick for several days, sent for Dr. Armfield, of Nashville. After diagnosing the case the doctor pronounced it smallpox and sent to Monroe for Dr. J. M. Blair, the county physician. Investigation re­ vealed the fact that not only Mr. Bass have the smallpox but 'that other mem­ bers of his family had had it and were almost well without ever having had a physician. It was further found that two negro families on the same farm bad the disease but were convalescent. There were 14 cases in all, Mr. Bass be­ ing the last to get sick and having the most serious case. It seems that none of them had been very sick and thought they only had chicken-pox or some slight eruption and never thought it necessary to send for a doctor. AU the cases were properly quarantined and everything possible done to pre­ vent a further spread of the disease, but there is no telling how many may have been exposed to the contagion. There are now three cases, all negroes, near Waxhaw, but no new ones are ex­pected. Meeting of Grand Lodge. Greensboro, Special.—At 2:30 o’clock Tuesday afternoon the 59th annual ses­ sion of the Grand Lodge I. 0. 0.

KINDLY AOT APPRECIATED. j C ourteay Show n a P oor B lind Colored M an In a S treet Can People are so busy nowadays they have often not time to.be polite, and a considerate act at once attracts atten­ tion. There was such an occurrence a few days ago in a 4th avenue car. Among the passengers was a blind negro. His clothes were the veriest rags and were held to his emaciated frame with pieces of wire and bits of string. A broom handle served as a cane. Over one shoulder was suspend­ ed a gunny sack, giving him the ap­ pearance of a cotton picker. He continually picked at one hand with the fingers of the other, as though he were playing the banjo, humming softly to himself the while and patting his foot. As his face was wreathed In smiles—not a grin—aU eyes were turned in his direction. Many of the passengers looked at him regretfully when the car reached Stan­ ton street and he arose and made his way toward the door. The hour was a busy one on the Bowery. People wondered whether the old man would reach the sidewalk in safety. A young man standing on the rear platform did more than wonder, however, for he alighted and guided the negro safely to the sidewalk. He then as rapidly as possible ran after the car, which was disappearing down the street. Several of the passengers who had noticed the incident called on the con­ ductor to stop the car, but as he did not do so one of them rang the bell violently, gnd the motorman reversed' the lever and brought the car to a sud­ den stop. As the yosng man climbed on the platform, says the New York Times, many smiles of approbation were cast in l)is direction. But he seemed to be almost ashamed of what he had done, and fie pulled his hat down over his eyes and continued his ride In silence.

To p u t it very m ildly, Judge Clark .is m istaken when he through his friend, M r. Batchelor —and he does say this in substance —th at those who oppose him for Chief Justice do so because they want a corporation law yer for this position. If this were true they would probably have centered be­ fore this tim e upon their man. The great mass of those who oppose Judge Clark have nothing to do w ith corporations, owe them no ob­ ligation and hav.e no concern about the quarrel between -them and Jndge C lark. They do, however, w ant a Chief justice who will not work up cases which are to come before him , and then sit on the bench, as solemn as an owl, and hear argum ent in them as if he were open to conviction, when he has already decided them in -his m ind and when no power on earth could change him . These people who have no interest in corpora­ tions, and no interest in the adm in­ istration of justice further than a desire to see all litagants treated fairly, w hich all good citizens should desire, would be as sw ift to .enter their protest against the nom­ ination of a corporation law yer as they are energetic in their protest against the nomination of a man who pitches his cam paign upou opposition to corporations, In this m attei Judge C larkand his friends either pcrposely pervert the facts or betray a narrowness of vision which does little credit to his and their acknowledged intelligence In y far as the Observer, and the class for which it modestly assumes to speak, are concerned, they only w ant /or Chief Justice a good law­ yer, a ju st judge, who will hold the .scales equally between all class­ es and conditions of men; who is neither the friend nor the enemy of any special interest; who will not dabble in politics from his high position, nor use it to punish indi­ viduals whom he dislikes or in ter­ ests against which he is predj udiced nor to favor individuals or inter­ ests ,through personal or profession­ al friendship. Such has been the type of judges which N orth, Oaro linians have chosen until w ithin recent years, It is conservative to say th at there are in the State now a t least twenty-five lawyers who in all points of fitness for the chief justiceship are the equals' of JudgeC lark audw ho are w ithout his infirm ities as a judge; men who in tjj.e w.oids of the grand jurors’ oath, would adm inister justice “ withou.t fear, favor or affection, reward or the hope of rew ard,’? It was an evil day for the State when w efell upon judges of a different type; it will Ims a worse still when we elect a, chief Justice committed to a certaiii Ijne of politics iq his decisions, a$ Mr. QatChelor in his letter commits Judge Clark. ^It is fpr the integrity of the ju d i­ ciary th at we stand; th at it shall be free from the suspicion of taint from any direction; th at every man shall be iible to go before the court M rithknw ledgethathis pase has not been prejudged, and w ith the assurance th at he shall have even- hauded justice. VVg have §aid awd repeat th at there are a t liast 25 lawyers in the State who, as Chief Justiceoithe Supreme Court, would inspire this confidence. W hy, then, tem pt providence by the nomination of a man in whom a large body of bis fellow-citizens lack confidence ! O rdinary wis dom, to say nothing of good poli­ tics, would seem to suggest the se­ lection of a m au against whom no one could bring an objection, upon whom all the elements of the p ar­ ty could cordially unite.— Char­ lotte Observer. c o m b i n e d .

There are lots of indi­ viduals who go into the courts, and are not .satisfied if justice is m eted put to them , and while the corporations are hedged about w ith restrictions more than individuals, they should be treated fairly and im partially in our courts. Possibly not half of the violations ,of law are prosecuted in our courts even among individuals, but a great hue and cry is raised against a cor­ poration every tim e it deviates from the law . W e believe in ,en- forciug the law, b at it should like taxation, be adm inistered w ith equality, and in an im partial m an­ ner, and none b u t upright and im ­ partial Judges should preside over our courts. These be our senti­ ments, regardless of politics. S u f f e r e d Fo r T h r e e Y e a r s. M r. G. W .

WASTE OF LIFE AND PROPERTY Account of the Greatest Disaster of RecordedTlms-A Little World Is Blotted off tbe Hap. Volcanoes and earthquakes have al­ ways been the most dreaded by - hu­ manity ot all calamities that could be­ fall a community. The causes producing the two geo­ logical disturbances so prolific of fear and terrible havoc are practically the aaqie. They result from the fact that the Interior of this globe is still intensely hot, radiating heat into space and con­ sequently contracting in bulk. Portions of molten rock are from time to time ejected and sudden seismic disturban­ ces occiir which cause destruction like that at St. Pierre from volcanic erup­ tions, or the earthquakes which have recently killed hundreds o£ people in several of the Central American coun­ tries. During the existence of this world many important geographical changes have been made throughout this natur­ al phenomena. Scientists have found traces of this In many quarters of the globe where there have been no heavy earthquakes or volcanic eruptions for ages and ages. Volcanoes range in size from a di­ minutive cone to a huge mountain. In both cases they are formed from ma­ terial which has been belched forth from the earth’s interior. They can break through any lcind of geological formation, and have come through granite of immense depths, and also through Silurian rock, such in­ stances of their awful power being de- mostrated by extinct volcanoes that have been discovered in France and Scotland. Those known as Etna and Vesuvius emerged from beneath soft marine strata. They are generally classed as active, dormant and extinct. In many cases, however, it is impossible to distinguish the latter two, and many that have re­ mained quiescent for hundreds of cen­ turies have been known to suddenly break forth In the most violent man­ ner. Such a one was Sornena, which after being domant almost beyond time Im­ memorial, became active in the frst century of the Christian era and ulti­ mately produced Vesuvius. The latter in 79 A. D. vomited forth lava and deadly gases in such gi­ gantic volume and so rapidly that tile inhabitants of the city of Pompeii -mil several other adjacent towns were de­ stroyed as were the people of St. Pierre. But Pelee, the volcano which so quickly ended St. Piere and its people, was another one which was always considered extinct. Mt. Epomeo, on the island of Ischia, furnishes another illustration of the uncertainties of these dread creatures of the earth's hidden mysteries. It re­ mained dormant for about seventeen centuries and then, in 1802, burst forth with the utmost violence. In operation a volcano emits gases, vapors, ashes, boulders and lava. Sometimes the acids are as destruc­ tive to life as is the lava and ashes. The erator of Idjen, a volcano in Ja 'a, turned loose a huge lake of acid water, which rushed down the mountain side, and the poisonous proportions of the liquid caused widespread destruction among human beings, cattle and birds. The ashes sent form by a volcano are generally so fine that they will pene­ trate a house through the smallest crecks and crevices. They are gener­ ally so hot that the inhalation of the smallest amount will cause death. 'Xshes have been known to fall over a country covering a radius within 160 miles of the volcano from which they were discharged. That occurred when Vesuvius broke loose in 1822. On another occasion, when the Cose- quina volcano in MicaTagua became eruptive In 1835 utter darkness prevail­ ed within a circle of thirty-five mile3, and eight miles away they covered the ground to a depth of ten feet. Four days later some of the ashes, which had been caught in an upper-air cur­ rent, fell at Kingston, Jamaica, 700 miles away. Huge stones have been sent hurling through space for great distances by volcanoes In violent activity. Many were found in the ashes which burned Pompeii. A volcano at Antuco, Chili, is said to have sent stones thirty-six miles, and Cotopaxi is said to have hurled a 200- ton boulder nine miles. Moltea lava 4an rush down a moun­ tain side at a faster rate than a milo an hour. After it stops flawing a trust will form over the tap Of the bed, which be- ecmes hard Mid cool, while the body of It vfll retain a fiery heat for years. W ien Mauna Loa, the terror-creat­ ing volcano of Hawaii, had its lvfiul eruption In 1852, it belched forth & solid fountain of lava -which Wa# 1,00(1 feet wide and spouted 900 feet ittte the air.Other fiery fountains 6f thfe sftme country have been known to perform similar feats and have continued to do so uninterruptedly for several weeks. The output from one of them travel­ led fifteen miles in two hours and con­ tinued to creep along for months, de­ stroying everything in its path.Lava is as variable in its moods after settling down on top of the earth as it is in getting there. Semetimes It quick­ ly becomes good soil, while on other occasions it always remains barren, As a rule, volcanoes are located on mountain ranges In the neighborhood of the sea. Most of the oceanic islands are volcanic. Very seldom is a volcano found far inland, and when it is so sit­ uated it is generally in the vicinity of a lake or where a body of water has at some time existed. The largest ones are on the Hawaiian Islands. In ages past their terrible up­heavals must have convulsed the world.Besides them, Vesuvius, which has a base circumforence of thirty miles, is a pigmy.The largest volcano in America is Popocatapetl, in Mexico. It rises to a height of 19,643 Spanish feet above the sea level and the circumference of the crater is 14,000 feet. For many years it was dormant, but In 1894 it spit a lit­ tle fire and created a great deal of fear. Since that time It has been quiet. In the United States the most im­ mense volcano is Mt. Rainier, near Tacoma, -Wash. It is more than 15,000 feet high and is supposed to be ex­ tinct.Volcanoes on the American continent and contiguous islands have never caused any enormous sacrifice of life through eruptions since white men set­ tled the country until the St. Pierro oc­ currence. There are a large number that have always caused more or less uneasiness, however, through their tendency to break out, and not a few in Mexico, Central and South America have caus­ ed the deaths of considerable numbers of people. On islands in tbe Pacific, Cnina, Ja­pan and many Asiatic and European countries the loss from this cause has reached an enromous aggregate. On islands in the Pacific, The most violent disturbance ever known to have resulted f?om an erup­ tion was that which destroyed Kroka- toa, an island in the Straits of Sunda, on August 27, 1883. It was also the most disastrous in the destruction of 11&3 since Pompeii was buried until S t Pierre was de- storyed. The explosion buried the island and about 20,000 inhabitants at the bottom of the sea in the course of a few min­utes. The vibratory effects were felt around the world. It caused a tidal wave which reach­ ed San Francisco and wiped out many villages on the Island of Sumatra, while it was on the way. The noise of the explosion was heard in India, it was heard in Australia and it was heard in the Island of Roderi- quez, 2,968 miles distant. The seismic wave of sea was seen at Cape Horn, 7,500 miles from the scene of the calamity, and at a point in Su­matra it carried the Dutch man-of-War Benow two miles inland and left the vessel high and dry thirty feet above the level of the sea. An air wave was created by the ex­ plosion which travelled three times around the world before it became dis­sipated. While eruptions of volcanoes always cause the most dread, the earthquakes cause the greater loss of Ufe and prop­ erty by an overwhelming amount. It is estimated that the destruction of human beings through this medium is greater than any other agency but disease. < From first to last during human oc­ cupancy of this planet it has been fig­ured that 13,000,000 people have be- eomi! moribund as a result of earth­ quake disasters. On this continent they have been most disastrous on the Pacific coast, in Mexico and the countries south of it. Below is a list of the great disasters from this cause during a period cov­ ered by mediaeval and subsequent his­tory: Tear. Number.

ERUPTIONS OF MT. PBLfiR The VBlcano ot Mont Pelee waa last In fertiptibn during the month of Au­ gust, l85i. ttrevious to that, in 1767, about 1,600 people were killed by an earthquake In Martinique. In 1839, the then Capital, Fort Royal, now Fore des France, was visited by an earthquake Which destroyed about half the town, caused great damage throughout the island and killed about Seven hundred persafiB. _ Mont Peiee is the loftiest mountain on Martinique and is 4,450 feet high. When it was ill eruption in 1851 flames and Tblumes of black smoke and fine ashes burst suddenly from the crater and threw the people of St. Pierre into a panic. They' fled from the place, many taking refuge on the ships In the roadstead. The eruption on this occas­ ion was not serious only covering some hundreds Gf acres with Sulphurous de- briss, but it was eiiough to show that Mont Pelee Was not dead, hut sleeping. The terrible volcanic storm in which ages Elge Mont Pelee tfas uplifted crumpled her summit tad rent and fis­ sured her sides, and sent her foothills sprawling all over the northern end of the island of Martinique, less, perhaps, by her enormous bulk than by her pyramid siimmetry of h6r outlines. “The Sdid Mountain," slie was called, but never was adjective so misapplied, for La Pelee was fully ’ clothed from the edge of the sea to the very summit in the most extravagant luxuriance of tropical vegetation. Within twenty years the great moun­tain has' sounded ItS warning—rumb­ ling and growling and muttering like some uneasy giant in, his sleep—but the gay people merely shrugged their shoulders and laughed at the menace, for they knew that the crater had been turned into a lake by the. rains and that it had been many years—hardly within the memorjr of th§ oldest inha­ bitant—since the VDlcano did anything but threaten. The presence of the lake in the crater they ' accepted as proof positive that the fires had been drown­ ed out, never to be lighted again. Interesting Facts About St. Pierre. The part of St. Pierre on the slope was known as the “upper town” and was dean and well built. The lower town situated along the roadstead front was dirty and unhealthy. The town was divided into two parts by a small river over which there was a handsome bridge. Five newspapers were published in St. Pierre. They were Las Antillesi founded in 1842; Les Ooionies, founded in 1378; La Defense, founded in 1881,' Le Propagateur, fdmided in 1852 and L’ljnioit, founded in 1S91. The principal commerce of St. Pierre was the exportation of sugar, rum, sof- fee and cocoa. Remarkably fine co­ logne water was manufactured In St. Pierre and exported to Francel i?l‘£lii<ie took most of the exportations, The im­ portations of St. PierTe were textile fabrics, grain, flour, wine, oil and meef cattle. The climate has been described as very fine and healthful, resembling that of Lower California to a remark­ able degree. An abundance of clear, sparkling water fr&in the mountains helped keep the town Si a fine sanitary condition. One traveller, writing of St. Pierre, said : “The visitor to the island is remind­ ed on every corner that the Empress Josephine was born in Martinique, at .Trois Islets, enar Fort de France, i went to see both her birthplace and the statue which Napoleon 'III. eredted to her memory In the public Square In Fort de France; but it is no remiiuler of Josephine that is uppermost when I think of Martinique. It is one 0£ the most beautiful and quiet spots in the world that presents itself. “Just to '.he southward of Sti Pierre is a point of rocks, half way lip ot which a large white cross has beeft erected. Beyond the point of rocks the sea sweeps inward in a great Semifilr* cle, making a bay, with another point in a distance. The Shore of this bay is a broad yellow Iieaeh1 smooth as a carpet Where the beach ends and the grass begins a thousand cOcoanut palms, all giants, stretch around the semicircle. Under tha palms nestle a seore of little stone houses with red- tiled roofs. In the back yards of theso houses, a hundred feet back from the water, the mountain begins, and goes up, almost straight up, tiil its summit is lost in the clouds. Such a beautiful nook I fear I shall never see again,” Some iflea of the formation of the island of Martinique may be obtained from the fact that, although it is not. quite forty-five miles long and only about nineten miles wide, it has 400 mountains, at least six of which, in­cluding Mont Pelee, are volcanoes. Most of the mountains are so heaviy wooded that their ruggedness is hidden beneath the verdure, but is filled with deep ravines, and In the mountains are high precipices, canyons and similar formations, showing the volcanic for. mation of the island. To. Merge Lines. Baltimore, Special*—The board of di­ rectors of the Atlantic Coast Line Rail­ way met In this city to perfect plans for the merging of the Plant System with the former company. The consol­ idation of the Savannah, Florida & Western Railway Company which is the major portion of the Plant System, was accomplished today by the filing with the Secretary of State in each oi the six States through which two prop­erties run a copy of the merger agree­ ment adopted at the stockholders meeting in Richmond. These papers were filed in Virginia, North Carolina South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida. Notes. The E. H. Davis Lumber Co. of Mag­ nolia, Ark., has increased its capital stock to $100,000.

Then the little one plumped down on her knees on the sidewalk and prayed: “O, Dod, p’ease make' Uncle Sol wun." The ac­ tor thought: “Well, it’s a question of my, losing my dignity or of her losing faith in God.” And so that pair ran as fast as they could. “But we walked together no mote," he used to add. RED HOT BOULDERS Saia Over Ill-Fated Cities of Martin* ique Again. WORSE THAN THE FIRST ERUPTION People Who Braved the Original Dis­ aster Now' Driven to Flight By the Recent Outbreak. Fort-de-France, Island of Martin­ ique, By Cable—Tuesday’s eruption, from Mount Pelee was Violent in the extreme. Golossai Cdiumns of volcanic matter were ejected from the volcano, which rallied huge red-hot boulders, many feet In diameter, oh the ruins of S t Pierre and the country near- it, from ah -enormous elevation arid with fearful velocity! Thfe Volcaiiie clouds advanced until they reached Fort-de- France: The spectacle was appalling and sub­ lime beyond all description. The whole population of Fort-de-France was thrown into a frenzy of panic, during which soldiers, police, men and women, all terrified, frantic, weeping and pray­ ing, rushed through the streets while DVerhead the giBwing fiery ciouds roiled relentlessly and rained down stones, still hot, amid the swirling ashes. A hundred persons sought refuge on the United States Cruiser Ciiicihnati and the Potomac. At 10 o’clock the Po- tomac. went to investigate matters aid all reports agree that Lieutenant Benji B. McCormick, the commander of the. steamer, did good work. He went in close to St. Pierre and found that'city .had been bombarded with enormous stones from the volcano and that the ruins left Standittg after the great dis­ aster had been nearly razed, MiUiofls of tons M ashes then covered the ru­ ined city. Furtiier south smaller BtoneS had destroyed the house of the hrafe Villagerswhd hadstuckto thair homes. Lieutenant MfiGormibfe took on board the Pbtbmac-180 refugees, the oldest of whom was 7§ years, and the youngest three days old; The lieutehaat fed them and brought the party to Fort-de- France, This work of rescue was dif­ ficult and dangferons. It is reported' that the whole popula­ tion of the island is fleeing , towards Fort-de-France. The consternation pre­ vailing is indescribable. Mont Pelee is still active. The French cruiser Suchet went on a tcur around the island and did not take part In the rescue work. Kingstswii, Island of St1 Vihceilt, By Cable.—Another great eruption of the St. Soufriere volcano occurred Wednes­ day night. Throughout Sunday the ad­ joining districts trembled and some of the shocks were felt here. Some issued from the craters and fissures of the mountain, and the atmosphere throughout the island df St. Vittcent was exceedingly h6t. 'While ttife wor­ shippers were returning froih church at 8:30 p. m., an alarming, luminous cloud suddenly ascended many miles high in the north end of the island. Incessant lightning fell on the moun­ tain and one severe flash seemed to strike about three miles from Kings­ town. Thunderous rumblings in the craters lasted for two hours and then diminished uiitii they became mere murmurings. The remainder of the night was clear. Ashes fell from 10 o’clock to midnight, The itthabitattts were frenzied with fear at the time of the outbreak dreading a repetition of the catastrophe which caused such ter­ rible loss of Iifo oh. this island. They ran into the open country, crying and praying for preservation from another calamity. No one slept that night.- Re­ ports received here from the districts in the vicinity say the rumbling of the craters were appalling and that streams of lava flowed down the«noun- tain side, The continuous agitation of the vol­cano and the ahsence Of rain has caus­ ed the vicinity of«the Village to look like portions of the desert OE Sahara. A dense smoky cloud overspreads the sky, the streets are empty, all business sus­pended,- and every one is terror-strick­ en. The feeliflg of suspense is painful. People pass their time gazing at tJs* northern sky where the thunder clouds gather and the mournful roaring of the volcano is heard. Ashes and pumice are falling slowly In the out-districts. There is alarming- reports from credible sources that En- ham mountain, near the Marriaqua Valley, an old and apparently extinct crater, is showing signs, of activity. This volcano is nearly six miles from Kingstown. Shock Felt In Florida. St. Augustine, Fla., Special.—Almost continuous shocks, presumably of an earthquake, were felt here from 9 until midnight Wednesday night. The earth­ quake was accompanied by a succession- of short but decisive reports like dis­ tant cannonading, seemingly from far out at sea. The sounds were unlike thunder, having no reverbrating roll and were accompanied by decided tre­ mors," while the sky in the southeast was suffused with a glow. The reports came at intervals of perhaps three min­ utes and persons who remember the earthquake at Charleston say the nois­es were very similar to the subterrane­ an noises accompanying that occur­ rence. The sound traveled from the south to the.south east. The night\wa3 perfectly clear. A number of citizens gathered on the sea wall and timed the intervals between the reports. Engineer Mu-dered in Mexico. Norfolk, Special.—News was received by the Brotherhood of Locomotive En­ gineers that J. L. Stanfield, of the Knoxville division of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, had been murdered in Mexico and that his mu­ tilated body had been found on Ihe plains near Tampico. Stanfield left his wife and family in Knoxville over a month ago and WrIth a companion wciit to Mexico for a month’s vacation. To Investigate Pooling of Rat?s. Memphis, Tenn., Special.—J. T. Mar- chand, special agent of the Inter-State Commerce Commission, had a confer­ ence with District Attorney Randolph. It is understood the matter discussed was alleged ,pooling of cotton rates ,by some ot the railroads entering Mem­ phis and that subpoenaes had been is­ sued for representatives of the roads and the secretary of the Memphis cot­ ton committee. Both officials refused to give out any information iu advance of the meeting of the Federal grand jury nsst waek. DESTROYED by earthquake .

Nine dead bodies have been take# out up to nson today. Of 160 men entombed it is feared the majority are' dead. Tbe sienes at the mines and in the village of.Femie are heart-rending. Hardly a house has escaped affliction. The work of rescue is being hurried^and perfect order prevails, assistance coming from every available source. The presence of coal damp is adding to the danger of rescue work, A fear has. became gen­ eral that the mines may catch fire at any time and survivors are being be­ sought by their relatives not to ven­ ture into the shafts even for rescue work,” .

Mr. Diibbis, idahci. said the annorlty was not seeking for delay( M t wished the discussion should be exhausted before the vote was fsikeii. The debate in the House Friday, while the naval appropriation bill was under consideration, was by turns amusing and bitter. Mr. Cannon, Illi­ nois called attention to the numer­ous naval establishments centered at Newport. Although'he admired our navy and supported the building ol new ships, Mr. Cannon said one Of the dangers of biii- navy was In tbe fact that one-third of the 1,700 officers were not on salt water, but on dry land. Mr Williams, Mississippi, made a sar­ castic speech at the expense of Real Admiral Crownlnshield. With mock gravity he read a poem, beginning “Who is Crowninshield1 papa?” The concluding lilies Of. the poem were “Great CroWninshieid; the greatest tar that evei- Stayed ashore.” The House passed the bill turning over to Porto Rico all public lands ef the isl­ and ceded to the United States by Spain, except sites designated by the President for naval and coaling sta­ tions, military posts and other United States purposes. The bill re­ funding the tax on legacies paid under tbe war revenue act by religious, char­ itable, art aad educational institutions, was passed. The motion to instruct the conferees against including the Selfri dgo. board awards in the Omni­ bus claims bills was passed. No Money for Maclay History. Tho Schley-Sampsoa controversy came up in the House Saturday, when Mr. Mudd, Maryland, offered, an amendment to the naval appropria­ tion bill that no portion of the appro­ priation shall be expended for Ma- clay’s history of the Spanish War. After a debate in which a large num­ ber of members expressed them­ selves on the subject, the amendment was adopted without a dissenting vote. Conference Report Agreed To. In the Senate Monday Mr. Dollivet, Iowa, spoke in support of the Phil­ ippine government bill. The confer­ ence report on the omnibus claims bill was agreed to. As passed by the House the. bill aggregated $213,- i05. The net increase made by the Senate was $2,929,252. The House hafe agreed to $1,405,393 of the amount added by the Senate. The Seltridga board claims had been omitted from the bill, the House refusing to agree to them. A bill was passed author­ izing the Secretary of W ar to loan to the Morgan Memorial Association of Winchester, Va., revolutionary trophies at Allegheny arsenal, Pitts­ burg.

Mr. Dayton, West Virginia, offered an amendment, which was adopted, changing the title of cadet to mid­ shipman. Mr. Roberts, ..Massachu­ setts, offered an amendment author­ izing the Secretary of the Navy to build one battleship, one armored cruiser and one gunboat in such gov­ ernment yard or yards as he may designate.

W Rhea was awarded the seat for the Ninth Virginia district, which was contested by James A. Walker, and Charles Tl. Thomas was confirmed in Uie seat for the Third North Carolina district, contested by John E. Fowler. A notable contribution to the discus­ sion of the Philippine question was made in the Senate Thursday by Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts. His view’s .on the subject are well understood, but his expression of them Wa-S profoundly Interesting and even impressive; When the venerable Senator began to speak, every Senator at the capitol was in his seat and for two hours and a half his address consumed he was accorded the most careful attention,' not only by his colleagues on the floor, but also by the people in the thronged galleries, ^ r- Hoar confined himself closely to his manuscript. . He denounced the at­ titude of the government In the Philip­ pines as one of the most wicked and foolish chapters In American history. He urged that the United States should withdraw from the islands and permit the people there to erect their own gov­ ernment, as had been done in. Cuba. He Sharpiy arraigned General Funston for the methods he pursued In the capture of Aguinaldo, and intimated strongly that had the Senate been aware of the facts Funston might not have been confirmed in his recent promotion. He hoped that, as the irrevocable step had not been taken by the United States better counsels yet -would prevail and S O U T H E R N RAILWAY, NOHTHBOITXD.

TERMS NOT PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED It Is Believed In London That Boers Have Accepted Peace TermsOffered By Creat Britain, London, By Cable.—The Associated Press has every reason to believe peace in South Africa is practically se­ cured. How soon it Will be announced depends apparently mGre upon the eon- venieDcc of the Boer government. The private afid official advices received Friday night in London from South Africa all point to the same conclusion. The delay is technical, and to end the long war seems to he the desire of both sides. Th® Boers, however, are unable to convince all their followers of the wisdom of acquiescing to the demands of peace. If the Boers were a thorough disciplined force, dependent upon the action of general officers, peace would probably be proclaimed at once, but Botha, DeWet and other generals them­ selves seem unable to positively guar­ antee the degree to which their exam­ ple will be followed. The British public is Still quite ignorant of the course „ of events in South Africa and there are no demon­ strations on the streets, although on all sides the question asked is “Is it peace?” On the other hand the stock exchange Friday was a seething mass of brokers who eagerly bought South African shares while long after the closing of the exchange nearly 1,000 brokers crowded Throckmorton -street and did a frantic curb business on the strength of the peace outlook. The ap­ pearance of Mr. Brodick, the Secretary of State for War, at the volunteer ser­ vice dinner was watched eagerly in the hope of gaining an inkling of the gov­ ernment frame-of mind. Mr. Brod- rick’s listeners had to be content with one brief, adroitly turned reference to the present situation. Responding to the toast, “The Imperial Forces,” the War Secretary said: “I would go be­ yond my duty should I enter into de­ tails of the communications which are now passing and which prelude, as we all hope, the surreno>»r of, the Boers.” Greater public interest was manifes­ ted In the day’s meeting of the cabinet than has been the case in any meeting since the early stages of the war. The ministers reached Downing street from ail parts of the country and were greet­ ed by hundreds of people anxious for some sign of the'probable trend of af­ fairs. The cabinet meeting adjourned at 5:10 p. m. The Associated Press has ascertained that the government re­ gards the war as practically ended. Advices received by the W ar Office indicate that whatever decision the Verneenicg conference may arrive at most, if not all, of the Boer leaders who went to Pretoria will not continue the fight. The present negotiations were merely for the puropse of enab­ ling the Boer leaders to “save their faces.” ' After they learn the results of the day’s meeting of the cabinet the Boer leaders are expected to announce their reluctant acquiescence with the Boer terms. The War Office does not expect any serious defections of the rank and file from the line taken up by Generals Botha and Dewet. Every precaution is being taken in Downing street to pre­ vent premature public elation over the possibility that a portion of the dele­ gates may bolt and continue the strug­ gle without their leaders. Privately, however, confidence is expressed in of­ficial circles that everything is over but the shouting. The Stock exchange has fully made up its mind how things are going and declares that the basis of peace was signed at Pretoria. Interesting refer­ ences to peace are contained in a let­ ter from Klerksdorp. southwestern Traiisvaal, dated April 25. It says: “Seventy thousand to $0,000 British troops are here waiting for General De- Iarejf--S answer trom the peace confer­ence and every hour we' are expecting them (the Boers) to march in and sur­ render. We have actually sent out wagon-loads of clothes to enable them to come In tidy, for there is every pros­ pect of peace. Lord Kitchener comes here from Pretoria every other day, and seems to be in particularly good spirits. He actually smiles, and that's a thing he not often does. We attach great importance to those smiles, in regard to peace.” Little Nev/slets. The P. Lorillard Company, of Now York, has advanced wages of all em­ ployes under the grade of foreman 10 per cent. A uniform wage of $2 a day is de­ manded by 500 coal drivers and hand­ lers of Albany, N. Y., who went on strike. Judge Andrew C. Bradley, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Ap­ peals of the' District of Columbia, is critically ill. Advices from all parts of the United States to the Western Fruit Growers’ Association say there will be an enor­ mous crop of apples, few strawberries and no peaches.

Shipp has made notable the 20th ot May, 1902. The exercises were impressive, yet simple. At the last Masters W. E. Shipp and Pahiiis B. Shipp, the sons of the dead soldier, came to the centre of the hollow square that had been form­ ed by the military. There was silence for a moment. Two long cords were pulled taut, and the white covering fell gently to the ground. Soldiers pre­ sented arms; the band played “Amer­ ica,” the vast audience cheered. There stood revealed a straight, cool shaft ot granite, and there was writ­ ten thereon: “Amongst a Grove the Very Straightest Plant,” William Ewen Shipp. Tenth Cavalry U. S. Army.Born August 23, 1861. Killed at San Juan Battle of Santiago, July I, 1898. SHIPP.” The weather, though warm, wa3 kindly and brought the local world and its guests out of doors. Charlotte ap­ peared in holiday manner; county people were present in strong force; and thousands of visitors were to ba seen on the streets. Long before the exercises began the thoroughfares were crowded for sev­ eral blocks in every direction from the square with a good natured multitude that patiently waited for the line of march to appear. Seldom Mis the city contained a larger gala day throng; though the place was devoid of decora­ tion or other insignia of celebration. The odd tone of the surging assembly was quietude; this being, in some way, appropriate to the character of the me­morial on which all attention was fast­ ened. First to meet at the county court house were the cadets of the Carolina Military Institute. At 10 o’clock the military, preceded by the Mt. Holly band, swung into line and marched down to the place of assembly; and' were followed shortly by the guests of honor. Under the direction of Major T. R. Robertson, who commanded the military, and Col. A. L. Smith, the chief marshal, the line of march was formed and proceeded, up South Tryou street and across the square, direct to the postofflce.THE LINE OF MARCH. The band led the parade and was fol­ lowed by the military, consisting of tho Blue Ridge Rifles, from Asheville; Company M, from King's Mountain; the Overman Guards, from Salisbury; the Fayetteville Light Infantry, and the Hornets’ Nest Riflemen and the Ar­ tillery company, of Charlotte. Following were the guests of honor, in carriages. These were: Mrs. W. E. Shipp, Masters W. E. Shipp and Fabius B. Shipp, Mrs. Anna McBee, Miss Kate Shipp, Mrs. Judge Shipp, Miss Mary Shipp, F. H. Busbee, Esq., Capt. W. F. Forsythe, U. S. A.; Miss Eliza Busbee, Mr. Richard S. Busbee, Col. J. P. Thomas, Rev. E. A. Osborne, %Jr3. Adelaide Worth Bagley, Mr. Earl Sloan. General Julian S. Carr, Judge Armistead Burwell, Mrs. Stonewall Jackson, Miss Juila Jackson Christian, Mrs. Armistcail Burwell, Capt. W. H. Bay, .I. C. Buxton, Esq., Mayor P. M. Brown, Col. J. F. Armfiold, Major W. A. Guthrie, Clement Manly, Esq., Mr. C. S. Wooten, of La Grange; Mrs. Wal­ ter Brem, Mrs. J. Hirshinger, Mrs. A. L. Smith, Miss Lottie Caldwell, Mr. B. F. Withers, Mr. W. J. Chambers and Mr. George Stephens. The crowd between the square and the postoffice was so great that the procession moved slowly and was for­ ced to pause twice. Around the monu­ment, which is located on the green sward in front of the postoffice build­ ing, an immense concourse had gath­ ered, while vast numbers of spectators' blocked the road for a long distance, filled the premises of nearby houses and stood close together in the balcon­ ies of the postoffice and in the large area on the first floor of the building. The crowd, all told, must have number­ ed four or five thousand people, and ceased to be a crowd only at the point where good view or hearing was not obtainable. The sea of faces was representative of the best in this county, and com­ prised prominent folk from all parts of South Carolina. Their presence, alone, was seemly tribute to the occasion. There was mute idea that the white- clothed granite told valor that stood for pride universal. Co!. E. A. Osborne made the opening prayer. The address was delivered by Col. J, P. Thomas, of Columbia, S. C., and was attentively listened to. The exercises were impressive and well re- ceived by a large audience. Pritchard and JVicLaurin Spesk. New York, Special.—Members of the American Asiatic Association gave their fourth annual dinner at ,Delo- monico’s. The guest of honor was Wm. W. Rockhill, late commissioner oi the United States to China, who responded to the toast, “The Open Door to Com­merce in China.” About 200 were pres­ ent, nearly all of whom are interested directly or indirectly in Asiatic com­ merce. Senator J. L McLaurin, of South Carolina, and Senator J. C. Pritchard, of North Carolina, were among the guests. Senator Pritchard responded to the toast, “The President of the united States,” while Senator McLaurin spoke of the need of foreign markets. A Good M ovem ent. A movement has been started in Fayetteville and Cumberland county to erect a monument at Liberty Point, in Fayetteville, to commemorate the asso­ ciation formed and . the declaration signed there on June 20,1775. It is pro­ posed also to have inscribed on one side the names of membera of Iht committee of safety and delegates from Cumberland to the Provincial Congress at Hillsboro and Halifax.

For several years an inventor of a cotton-picking machine has been try­ ing developments of his iflvefitioh in the Mississippi Delta. TWO years ago the inventor, Mr, Angus Campbell and his backer, Mr. F. R. Morris, used the machine to pick cotton in such'away Ss to impress the spectators with its success. The two gentlemen, how­ ever, were not satisfied with the ma­ chine in every respect, and since then they have been remedying What they thought to be its weak points. Hav­ ing perfected the machine, they Signed last month contracts for five machines to pick 2,000 acres of cot­ ton in the Delta next fall. In a letter to the Manufacturers’ Record Mr. J. S. Weiss of Greenville, Miss, writes: I have Watched Very closely for the past five years the cotton-picking ma­ chine patented by Mr, Angus Camp­ bell, which is owned and Operated by the American Cotton Picking Co. of Pittsburg, Pa. I am perfectly satisfied, beyond any question of a doubt, that Mr. Camp­ bell has solved the question of pick­ ing cotton with, his machine, and it does even better work than is claim­ ed for it.On the 15th day of last October I saw the machine In operation at Col­ onel Morgan’s place at Sheppards- town. Leflore county, Mississippi, and saw the machine pick 93.7 per cent, of cotton that was open on the row, without destroying the leaves, bolls or stalks in any shape or manner. I have also seen the machine at work before frost, never a green leaf, boll, bloom or square being hurt. One could not tell that the ma­ chine had’ been in . the field, except­ ing that the lint was missing. Strange as it may seem, the machine only takes the lint, but of course if there happens to be a piece of a dead leaf on an open, boll it takes it along just as one does picking it by hand, which of course, is cleaned before the cot­ ton is ginned, I think I am safe in saying that the farmers of this great Delta only harvested about 75 per cent, of their crop this season, and I think it is a question of a very short time when Mr. Campbell will have his machine at a point where he will get 100 per cent. As I before stated that the machine picked 93.7 per cent, however, the other 6.3 per cent, does not go to waste, as the planter can gather it if he so chooses. I don't think the machine will work in very hilly land,- but it docs the work to perfection in flat and low lands. The machine will pick at least three bales per day, and has already picked as high as five. Every planter with whom I have talked and who has seen the machine work is more than pleased with it. In my estimation the cotton farm­ ers of the South are about to receive their greatest boon: It goes without saying, as, to my mind, the question has been solved regarding the harvest­ing of cotton. The signing of the contract indi­ cated a faith in the efficiency of the machine, which, if realized, means almost a revolution in agriculture and industry in the South within the next few years. The substitution of ma­ chinery for man in gathering the cot­ ton crop has long been a dream, with most substantial reasons why it should become a fact Again and' again an invention to that end has been announced, only to bring disap-, pointment without destroying the hope. The success of the Campbell picker must result in an enormous economy in bringing the cotton to the gin, one estimate being that it. will nearly halve the expense, in the encouragement of more scientific methods in cultivating cotton, there­ by permitting a greater area of land and greater human energy to he em­ ployed in the raising of other crops. Of especial importance, though, is the promise in the invention of the release from the cotton fields of a great mass of labor into other lines of industry required for the full de­ velopment of Southern resources, and a wonderful change for the bet­ ter from present conditions, in which the opening up of a timber tract, the extention of a railroad, the starting of a cotton mill or the development of a coal or iron mine draws often at the most inopportune moment needed help from the fields, or a sudden rise fn the price of cotton tends to at­ tract deeded help from manufactur­ ing undertakings. This balancing of labor conditions is likely to . be accompanied by a bablancing of agricultural ones. The use of cotton-picking' machines must tend to limit cotton-growing to sec­ tions where great areas of land, de­ voted principally to cotton, may be under one management, as the use of such a machine by the cultivator of one acre or ten acres would hardly be economical, Jt possible. Hence might be expected in . cotton-growing a radical change similar to that in­ duced by the adoption of machinery in the wide stretching wheat fields of the West. This change, though, would injure no small cultivator ready to adapt himself to it. He might lose if he should attempt to compete, with hand against the ma­ chine. But if he should recognize and take advantage of the wider market for foodstuffs and other products created by the conversion of cotton- pickers into miners, lumbermen, operatives and mechanics, he would better himself .considerably. ■ Textile Notes. The Board of Trade at Weatherford, Texas, has appointed a committee to solicit subscriptions towards the" or­ ganization of a $100,000 ■ cotton mill company. Messrs. H. A. Cook & Co. of Char­ lotte, N. C., have completed the erec­ tion of a mill for the manufacture of cotton batting. Daily product will amount to 2500 pounds, and about seventy-five hands are employed. Messrs. Cook & Co. had been previous­ ly engaged in making bagging and ties. • Messrs. John P. Chcnowith of Louis­ ville, Ky., Daniel A. Chenowith and Oscar B. Henderson, of Indianapolis, Ind., have incorporated Eclipse Woolen Mills, with capitalization of $150,000. Company will opeate a mill, now idle, at Baxter' avenue and Garden street, Louisville, Ky., giving employment to 200 hands. Colleton Cotton Mills of Walterboro, S. C., has let contract to W. G.
