Authoritative announcement is made of extensive additions of machinery just completed by the Golden Belt Manufacturing Co. of Durham, N. C. This company’s plant at Edgemont, a suberb of Durham, has previously been operating 16,000 spindles and 400 looms; to this has been added 8416 spindles and 240 looms. This gives the plant a total of 24,416 spindles, 640 looms, opening machinery, carding ap­ paratus and full complement required. This company produces cloth and man­ ufactures same into sacks for shot, coin, seed, etc., made in any size, with printing. It is probable that more than $120,000 was expanded for the addi­ tional machinery mentioned. The following are official quotations on cottonseed and cottonseed products as posted at the Cotton Exchange in New Orleans on the 16th inst.: Prime refined oil in barrels, 43% cents per gallon; off refined oil in barrels, 42% cents per gallon; prime crude oil, loose, 35% cents per gallon; Off crude, nomi­ nal per gallon; prime cottonseed cake, $27.50 per ton of 2240 pounds; off do, nominal; prime cottonseed meal, $27 per ton of 2240 pounds; off do., nom­ inal; soap stock, 1.50 cents per pound; linters, per pound—A, 3% cents; B, 3% cents; C, 3% cents; cottonseed in sacks delivered in New Orleans, $16 per ton of 2000 pounds; in bulk deliv­ ered in New Orleans, $15 per ton of 2000 pounds.

A meet­ ing for organization will be held at the Charleston Savings Institution on- the 24th inst. Mr. Morris Israel will man­ age the finances of the company. THE TARIFE AND MEATS HOW WOULD FREE TRADE THE SITUATION? HELP Arrangements have been perfected at Ninety-Six, S. C.. for establishment of a $200,000 cotton mill, and charter has been applied for. The company takes the title of the Ninety-Six Cotton Mill, and intends to equip a plant of 10,000 spindles and complement. Most of the machinery has been purchased, and J. E. Serrine of Greenville, S. C., has been engaged as architect in charge. The leading incorporators are E. M. Lips­ comb of Ninety-Six and Elilson A. Smyth of Pelzer, S. C. A company was organized last week at Kershaw, S. C., to build a $25,000 cotton-seed-oil mill of forty tons ca­ pacity. The officers of the company elected were John T. Stevens, presi­ dent; S. W.

Tiie temporarily liigii prices of beef and otber meats offer no good basis for the contention tB4t there would be no Beef Trust if it were not fdr tbe tariff on imported meats and cattle. It is no- ticed that even among professed protec- tionists in some quarters there is a dis­ position to rail against tbe tariff as Pri­ marily responsible for tbe current iugb prices of meats, and to mildly suggest that tbe tariff might be removed or at least reduced wherever it breeds trust making. This is merely a breaking out of tbe trust trouble of tbe alarmists in.. another place. The shaking of tbe red rag of combinations is quite sufficient to alarm some of tbe timorous protection^ ists. To be sure, tbe Government lays a tariff duty of ¥3.75 a head on import­ ed cattle, with tbe : chief purpose of shutting them out entirely. For peo­ ple can raise here at home all tbe cattle that can be consumed here and more, too. American producers send to Eng­ land alone approximately 325,000,000 pounds of beef every year and say 300,- 000 cattle on the hoof. This policy fur­ nishes a sure market for tbe farmers and cattle growers and adds immensely to the generalprosperity of the country. No patriotic American desires to beat the Beef Trust by laying the lash onto the backs of American farmers and the American cattle growers. That is what the practical result would be were this duty of ¥3.75 per head removed from imported cattle. If an actual shortage of cattle due to the short corn crop and the drouth conditions, offers an oppor­ tunity for the meat packers and dealers to advance prices to an unwarranted extent, shall the country, therefore, turn about and punish tbe American farmer for it? Shall the door be opened wide to the Mexicans and the herders of Argentina that they may divide the cattle market with the people of the United States? Tbe suggestion has no element of patriotism — no grain of statesmanship, aud small real sound logic from any point of view. Tbe Lewiston Journal, one of the old­ est Maine newspapers, founded and for a long time conducted by the man who framed the tariff law of 1807, is true to its traditions and to-him when it says: “The free traders will run up against quite a proposition when they go forth In the next campaign to lift from Amer­ ican farmers the economic safeguards of the Dingley tariff. Experience shows that this country can produce beef and butter aud all agricultural products in abundance. AVere this country incompetent to raise beef and to produce butter at fair prices for home and European markets, then we might ask the children of the Aztecs and of Bolivia to help us.. Now that under the Dingley tariff the American farmer is marvelously prosperous and barns and lands begin to count for something, it is an insult to our agri­ culturists to make the conspiracies of the Beef Trust an apology for putting the millstone of AVilson - Gormauism about the neck of our agriculture. “Meantime, if free trade would help us, why does it not help Great Britain?

W a, A FOURTH OF JULY SURPRISE *1 “Harry, will you help me get lip a Fourth of July picnic?” asked Sally Boyd one afternoon in late June as they met on the street after school. Harry Norman felt two inches taller at the Idea that pretty SaUy Boycl should choose him for her aidc-Ce- camp. “You see, Harry, we can have the picnic In papa’s grove, and he will put up a swing for us, and we will have a nice tent by the spring. Now, I want you to invite any ten boys you please, only none of those naughty, rough boys.” “Any fireworks or firecrackers or can­ nons?** broke in Hari;y, his cheeks glowing. “Yes, I think that would be jolly, hut please don’t bring any of those horrid toy pistole. They are too dangerous.” “Oh, I’ll promise you that all right.” “Well, I have asked the girls to bring some nice things to eat. We will have lots of lemonade^—” “Some pink lemonade? That’s what all the boys like,” said HaiTy. “Yes, pink lemonade, pies and cakes Und lots o£ goodies. Oh, what fun!” nnd the girl laughed merrily. Suddenly Harry stopped. “I just thought of something. I must go right away and tell the boys alf about it.” ‘‘Why, what do you mean, Harry?” pose,” answered Sally, as she marched with her merry band down the street. The girls must have felt very proud and patriotic, for they were saluted at every hand by the popping of firecrack­ ers and the booming of toy cannons. Some of tho girls were a little inclined to be afraid, but their brave leader quieted them by saying: “Don’t be afraid to-day. This is the Fourth of July, and we ought Io be very, very brave, you know.” “How lovely! What a sweet little tent! Oh, oh! and a swing!” cried a chorus of voices as the girls reached the grove. Aud then they could hold back their merry spirits no longer, for, breaking into a run, they made for 1 lie spot where the teat was pitched, laughing and screaming with delight, with~thoir patriotic Uag sashes fluttering around them. Sally reached the tent first, anil draw­ ing back the flaps peered in. Aud then, with a frightened look in her eyes, she turned quickly toward the group- crowding about her and said, with trembling voice: “Somebody has taken all our bas­ kets!” “Oh, oh! that cannot be ” “Yes, it is so. You can all see for yourselves.” SalIie stood aside. “Captain Normani some naughty boys or tramps have taken all our bas­ kets; we haven’t anything to eat,” said she. “What! DO my ears hear aright?”- asked' the bold captain, putting on a stern, soldierlike air. “And is the lem­ onade ” “The beautiful pink lemonade ig gone.” . “Then lot us scour the adjacent for­ est. The wretches who have done this deed shall suffer.” Captain Norman looked very fierce as he led his men into the tiiicket. The girls could hear his little band beating about the bushes. Once or twice the. popping of firecrackers could be heard. The girls grew excited, and gathered before the ten Sr. not knowing whether it was best to run or hold their ground. “You must be very brave, girls. Onr noble soldiers are after the enemy—oht oh, my! look!” cried Sally. The bnshes parted and four of the AT T H E tB H E A B TTAS H ARRY. boys appeared carrying a rough, Trhis- kerefl fellow, whose bands and feet were securely bound. Then followed Hie brave Captain Norman and the rest of his band, with the baskets. “Lady, we have recovered your pro­ visions and have also captured the tramp who was making off with them. AYhat shall be his fate?” asked Captain Norman, as be drew up before the group with genuine military form. “I am sure I don’t know.” V8>-,\-iVi Y*A\ -i ti^ M S S S e st Teppef^OAf FINISHING D ocm ew \ “There you are, SaUy. Just like all girls; you are too inquisitive.” “Please tell me what you are going to do,” pleaded the girl, as sho laid her hand upon Harry’s arm. ‘Well, I will tell you if you will promise not to say anything about it.” “Oh, I won’t say a single word. I promise.” Weli, then, Sally”—and the boy’s face grew rosy with mischief—“I am going to have ■” ‘What? Tell me quick.” ‘A great big surprise for you!” cried H any 1 with a laugh, as he ran away. That is just like a boy. Well. I must get the girls together and decide on a list of nice things to eat. Boys are such hungry creatures at a picnic that it will fake a lot of goodies to go around.” Bright and early on the morning of the Fourth of July Sally’s big brother, seated In a wagon loaded with baskets and the tent, was driving toward the picnic grove. Xt did not take him long to pitch the tent and put up. the swing, and he soon notified Sally that every­ thing was ready for their arrival. It was a merry little party of girls that soon gathered at Sally’s house. Their cheeks were rosy and their eyes were bright as could be. They were all dressed in -white, and each wore for a sash the pretty American flag. Where are the boys, I wonder?” asked one of tbe girls as the little party left the house. Oh, they’ll be m the grove, I sup- Tho tent was empty. “AU the tarts and pies and bottles of lemonade—gone I” “I fee) just like crying. I don’t un­ derstand it. SIy brother brought every­ thing here, and ” “I guess some tramps must have taken them.” ■ “I—I wish the boys would come. I’m afraid of tramps. Yes, tramps must have taken all onr goodies.” Sally was ready to burst into tears, and quite likely she would have had a good crying spell if a new and sirange sound Iiad not reached her ears. Kat-a-tat! Rat-a-tat! “It is a drum; yes, and the sound of a-fife,” said Sally, as the sound came nearer. And then, down a wide path came a file of 'soldiers. At their head was Harry Norman, looking very brave and courageous. He wore a' pretty little uniform and carried a bright sword. One bright little fellow beat the drum grandly, while two others tooted their fifes. The other boys carried each a stick with a big firecracker fastened in the end. For a brief period the sight of the young soldiers and the martial music caused the girls to forget the stolen goodies. They cheered the little band as Harry halted his comrades before then:. “Oil, Harry, how lovely yon all look! Wlist a Iovelv time we will ” Then SftIIie stoppad. The goodies!- :■ ’ - “Then I condemn him to death.” “No, no,” cried Sally ; “he ought to be punished—but not death.” “You plead in vain for his life. Men, stand the tramp up against a tree!” sternly ordered the captain. The, tramp pleaded hard for mercy, but there was none. He was placed against a tree, and the soldiers were drawn up in a line a few paces away.. “You have stolen onr goodies, also our pink lemonade—for that you must die! Make ready! Take aim! Fire!" Bang! bang! bang! rang out tbe fire­ crackers. It was a very terrible scene, and the girls screamed as the tramp fell for­ ward. “Is—is he hurt?” asked Sally, as she came near the form upon the ground. “Not much!” The tramp rose tfp. threw off his bonds, pulled off a pair of false whiskers and wig and revealed a face known to all—one of the boys in masquerade. “This was my surprise, Sallie. Wasn’t it joUy fun?” asked Harry. The girls all laughed heartily, and said it was fnn/only a little too real for genuine siiort.' • ' They all enjoyed themselves to their hearts’ content, and just before sun­ down Sally's brother came with the horse and wagon and-took down, the swing and packed the tent and baskets :md drove back. whUe the merry party strolled along behind singing patriotic songs all the way home. ^ DURING SU N iER HONTHS Ott Hartm^s Gives Free Advice • to Silfferhig Women. a HKS.

Female trouble is so common, so prevalent, that they accept it as almost inevitable.

And he told us about the pledge he made before he was elect­ ed Gov., and I think he thought from his talk that some one would believe that he had something to do with our school taught at Cool­ eemee this Spring, but the State of Korth Carolina cannot claim any credit for the School that has been taught at Cooleemee, and he said I hate Massachusetts, came over it locking forward to, in the way of | tLrs0 times asignificant grin, local improvement is, the GradediThen some were ashamed for him school, and we have every auce of its realization.

Jt won’t work Mr. Simmons, for you and your crowd cannot make the people of this State believe that the Republican party is in favor of negro rule, a Democratic phan­ tom hatched in the braius of hun­ gry pie counter followers, who are more infest upon holding the offi­ ces and enjoying the emoluments thereof than of serving the people whom you have duped aud mislead Your covert thrust at the Republi­ can Judge comes in poor grace from a man who has trampled not only upon the law but upon the rights and liberties of North Caro­ lina freemen.

Since the above was was written the Editor of the Charlotte Obser­ ver has the following to say with reference to Boss Simmons’ recent night nan), GlVECS A REST. We were told that if we adopted the constitutional amendment we would be relieved of the menance of “negro domination.” The rea­ sonable presumption was that we would also be relieved of the fatig­ uing talk thereof. Now we are told of a deep laid scheme, which will mature between the 1st and 15th of October—it will be -well to recall this at that time—whereby the amendment is to be overturn­ ed and we are to be subjected again to all of the horrors of “ne­ gro domination.” Of eonree all this is intended to play upon the fears of the ignorant; equally of course no man of intelligence is go­ ing to be scared by it. It is inten­ ded to force men to vote from their predjudices and fright instead of voting according to their judgment. But; really, has it come to this that the Democratic party of North Carolina, with the negroes disfranchised, must needs resort to appeals of this sort to perpetu ate itself in power I We think not. VVe haven’t so poor an opinion of the party as to fear that an appeal to the reason of the white people of the State, upon its record, would be in vain. The negro vote is out of the way for good and all. Let us have done with fustian. Our Democratic friends have spent a lot of breath, in abusing the boys who are upholding the flag. They have called them butchers and all kinds of ugly names. They have had much to say about the cruelties practiced in the Philippines by our soldiers, yet not one of them has called the attention of the public to the fact that most of the officers who have been tried over there by Court Martial aie Southern men. Pos­ sibly Mr. Mckiiiley and President Rooseveltmade a mistake in ap­ pointing these men to army posi­ tions. Maj. Walleris a Virgin­ ian. .Capt. Glenn is a Southerner, and both have been court martial- ed. We don’t think these officers disregard the usages of civilized warfare, for they had to deal with a savage foe, and it required se­ vere punishments to break up these Morro bandits. If a Repub­ lican had said that these ’ officers possibly acquired their training in the South among the Red Shirt brigade, a great howl would have gone np, but Mr. Democrat, they are Southern men, at least a part of them are, and may be they are Democrats, who knows I Shooting negrbes in Wilmington in order to give Major Waddell and .the :i hungry pie hunters jobs, is White Supremacy and a !audi­ ble aud patriotic work, but to de­ fend the honor of the nation in the Philippines by killing the savage* who shoot and mutilate our Si dier boys, is a great crime in the eyes of the Bourbon Democracy. Americans Hewn Limb From Mexican Mustang Liniment sea moles will readily overcome Loss of Bair, Diseased Hoob and Scratches in bor- Soweare to have the “negro domination” and “white suprema­ cy” yawp some more, based upon Chairman Simmons’ discovery of a mare’s nest.

Manila, June 18.—The bodies of the sergeant, two corporals and four privates of the Fifth Cavalry who were captured May 30 by Lad rones at Binangonan, Risal prov­ ince, this island has been recov­ ered. Most of the bodies had been hewn limb from limb, and it was found impossible to recognize four of the dead men. A number of ar­ rests in the matter have been made and nine meu have been absolute­ ly identified as belonging to the band of iadrones which captured the Americans. The identified men include twb members of the police force at Teresa, Moron prov­ ince. The American soldieis were buried to-day together; it was im possible to make separate inter­ ments. The above shows what kind of savages our soldiers have to con­ tend with. Yet army officers ’ are branded by Democrats in Congress as butchers. TVhoare the butch­ ers t Saves A Woman's Life.

The prosperous condition of this country under Kepnblican rule is appealing to the great masses as never before, and they are not go­ ing to be scared by this fiction ven­ der, who hatches out every two years a hideous hobgoblin to scare and frighten the people info fol­ lowing the man who has planned aud plotted himself into a position which he is unworthy to fill, and which discredits North Caroiina at the National Capitol if the late Senator Vance’s estimate of him be true.

It was pretty openly said while the constitutional amendment was pending that it was for the purpose of disfranchis ing negroes, but it was never under stood that its object was to disfran­ chise white men, and if that has unfortunately been dime, is it the intention of the committee to drive them from the conncils of .the par­ ty!

M ^sboro, t >>*• IIlE PROCLAMATION Of President Roosevelt Coacerning Phiiippiae Affairs A GENERAL AMNESTY IS GRANTED Peace Declared to Exist In AU Parts of the Island Excspt Territory Qc* cupied By Ihe Mores. Washington, Special.—The President has formally declared tlie restoration peace in the Philippine archipelago, lias placed the islands under complete civil control, and has extended general amnesty to the Filipinos who have tfeen in rehellion. These three things, marking one of the most important chapters in Philippine history,' were ac­ complished through the issue of three separate orders aiid the proclamations, one by the President over his own sig­ nature, extending amnesty; one through Secretary Root, by the Presi­ dent’s order, relieving General Chaffee . from his duties as military governor, •and a third, which takes the shape of a general order, addressed to the entire army of the United States, in which Secretary Root takes occasion to ex­press the President’s high apprecia­ tion of the work it has accomplished both in Cuba and in the Philippines. The amnesty proclamation is as fol­ lows: “By the President of the United * “A PRACLAMATION. '‘Whereas, Many of the inhabitants . of the Philippine archipelago were in insurrection against the authority and sovereignty of the kingdom of Spaia at diverse times from August, 1896, until the cession of the archipelago by that kingdom to the United States of 'America, and since such cession many of the persons so engaged in insurrec­ tion had recently resisted the authority and sovereignly of the United States, and “Whereas, The insurrection against the authority and sovereignty of the V3&3& States is now at an end, and peace has been established in all parts of the archipelago execpt in the coun­ try inhabited by the Moro tribes, to which this proclamation does not apply, and “Whereas, During the course of the insurrection against the kingdom of the United States, persons engaged therein, or those in sympathy with and abetting them, committed many acts of violation of the laws of civiliz­ ed warfare, but it is believed that such acts were generally committed in ig­ norance of these laws, and under or­ ders issued by the civil, or military in­ surrectionary leaders, and “Whereas, It is deemed to be wise and human, in accordance with the beneficient purposes of the government of the United States towards the Fili*- pino people and conductive to peace order and loyalty among the doers of such acts who have not already suffer­ ed punishments, shall not be held criminally responsible, but shall be re­ lieved from punishment for paticipa- tion in these insurrections and for un­ lawful acts committed during the course thereof by a general amnesty ‘ and pardon. “Now, therefore, be it known that I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the power and authority vested in me Iby the constitution, do hereby proclaim and declare without reservation or con­dition except as hereinafter provided, a full and complete pardon and amnes­ ty of all persons in the Philippine archipelago who have participated in the insurrections aforesaid, or who have given aid and comfort to persons participating in said insurrections, for the offenses of treason, or sedition, and for all offenses political in their char­ acter committed in the course of such insurrections pursuant to orders issued by the civil or military insurrectionary authorities, or which grow out of in­ ternal political feuds or dissensions be­ tween Filipinos and Spaniards, or the Spanish authorities, or which resulted from internal political feuds or dissen* sions ^among the Filipinos Iheniselvesi during either of said insurrections; “Providing, however, that the pardon and amnesty hereby grained shall not include such persons committing crimes since May I, 1902, in any pro­ vince in the archipelago in which at the time civil government was estab­ lished, nor shall it include such per­ sons as havo been heretofore finally Convicted of the crimes of murder, rape, arson or robbery by any military or civil tribunal organized under the au­ thority of Spain of the United States, and by special application may be made to the proper authority for par­ don by any person belonging to the ex­ empted classes and such clemency as is consistent with humanity and jus­ tice will be liberally extended, and further “Provided, that this amnesty and pardon shall not affect the title or right of the government of the United States or that of the Philippine Islands to any property or property rights heretofore used or appropriated by the military or civil authorities of the government of the United States, or that of the Phil­ ippine Islands organized under author­ ity of the United States, by way of con­ fiscation or otherwise, and “Provided, further, that every person who shall seek to avail himself of this proclamation shall take and subscribe the following oath before any authority in the Philippine archipelago authoriz­ ed to administer oaths, namely: ‘I ,----- solemnly swear or affirm, that I recog­ nize the authority of the United States of America in the Philippine Islands and will maintain true faith and al­ legiance thereto, that I impose upon myself this obligation voluntarily with­ out mental reservation or purpose of evasion, so help me God.’ “Given under my hand at the city of f Washington this, Fourth day of July, in the year of our Lord one thous­and, nino hundred and two, and in the one hundred and twenty-seventh . year of the independence of the v!

Representative Livingston, of Geor­ gia, flakes Comparisons.. Washington, Special—Chairman Can­ non, of the House appropriations com­ mittee, has presented 5 statement of the appropriations made at the present session of Congress showing a total of ?750,063,837, not including the large amounts that will be required for the isthmian canaJ, and public building and river and harbor contracts. In his statement Mr. Canon says in part: “An analysis of this table shows that the total estimated expenditures fore­ casted by the BSecutive departments aggregated $776,348,318; that the total appriations made, exclusive of $50,139,- 000 toward an isthmian canal, aggre­ gated $750,063,837. The appropriations made in the regular Annual bills for or­ dinary expenses of the government payable during tie fiscal year 1903, ag­ gregate $’595,502^705, which, together with the sums carried under permanent appropriations aftd exclusive 6f the amount required by the sinking fund makes a total of $655,428,925. In the nature of things’, and in the light of past experience this entire sum will never Bfe expended, but will probably be reduced in the neighborhood of 10 per cent. The revenues of the government as now estimated, on the basis of the revenue reduction legislation enacted at this session amount to $640,520,630. The expenditures to be made under the appropriations of this session will not exceed $600,000,000 or a Sttm ap‘ proximating $40,000,000 less than the revenues which we expect to derive un­ der the revenue laws as revised by this Congress.” Representative Livlhgston, of Geor­ gia, the rankiiig DeSaocrat the ap­ priations Committeei submitted a state­ ment showing with the inclusion of the IsthmiaA canal, river and harbor, and other prospective expenditures, appro­ priations of over one billion dollars during the past session. His statement sajrs in part: “The direct appropria­ tions made at this session of Con­ gress including the isthmian canal ap- priation reach the aggregate of $800,- 900,$37. To this sum should be added the amount of $359,373,215 to include contracts authorized to be entered into in addition to the specific appropria­ tions which are made. These contracts are in the nature of a promissory note from the government, to be met and liquidated in the future, and constitute Es much a part of the appropriations chargeable to this session are the spe­cific anpropriations made, and which are to be expended, not at once, but throughout the coming fiscal year. The two sums aggregate $1,059,5'77,0-d1 The appropriations including authorized contracts of this session exceed those, including contracts of the last session by $270,793,102. "The last session of the fifty-third Congress for the fiscal year 1898 was Democratic in both branches and the government was administered by Mr. Cleveland, It therefore affords fair ground for the purpose of a compari­ son. The difference between the total then and now amounts to the startling sum of $558,881,768, or more than as much again as it required to conduct the affairs of government under a Dem­ ocratic Congress and executive. - VoIuotars Increase In Wages. Pittsburg, Special.—The largest vol­ untary increase ever known in the wages of 100,000 men has been decided upon by the United States Steel Cor­ poration.

White Man Nearly Lynched. Macon, Ga., Speoial--An Albany special to The Telegraph says that Ed­ ward Rich, a young white man, charg­ ed with holding the body of Sidney Wallis, a boy drowned in a near by creek, for a reward, was nearly lynch­ ed. He had been ordered to leave town. He did so, but a mob formed and he was caught. A trace chain had been bound about him when officers arrived. A scuffle ensued, but the advice of cooler heads prevailed and he was placed in jail, charged with trafficking in human bodies. Iianger of a lynch­ ing is not yet over. Washington, Special.—Amid a scene of enthusiasm that has not been paral­ leled since the existing and stirring days of the Spanish w&rj Speaker Hen­ derson at 5:30 Tuesday afternoon de­ clared the House of Representatives adjourned without day. In doing so he Said that no House of Representatives since the adoption of the constitution had dons as much work as this one. Tho audience to which he made his brief address was & brilliant dne. The galleries were banked to the doors and almost two-thirds of the members were in their seats on the floor. The Speak­ er’s appreciative words to the members in thanking them touched a responsive chord and they gave him a remarkable demonstration of their friendship and good will. While the cheering and ap­ plause were still In progress the mem­ bers on the floor began singing “My Country, lTiS of Thee:’* it was taken up toy the correspondents itt the press gal­ lery over tie Speaker’s chair and by the spectator^ in the surrounding gal- Ieries and soon thfe vast hall was ring­ ing with the swelling chorus. Other pa­ triotic airs followed as the members exchanged farewells. “The Star-Span­ gled Banner,” alternating with “Dixie." The Speaker came down from his rostrum, his appearance on the floor being greeted with “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow,” and a perfect rush of members to grasp his hand. Standing in front of the clerk’s desk, he, too, joined in the songs and there was a wild scene when General Hooker, of Mississippi, the old one-armed Confed­ erate veterans took his place by the side of the Speaker and together they sang “Dixie.” Mr. Candler, a Mississip­ pi Democrat, juinpepd upon a desk and let out a yell of jubilation that fairly shook the rafters. For almost half an hour the jubilation continued. All this time the siiiectatoi-s remained standing in the galleries watching the animated scone below and joining in the singing. The adjournment came at the end of a seven and a half hours’ session, dur­ ing which much minor business was transacted. In all 70 bills and resolu­ tions were passed. The genera] good feeling in the House had been heighten­ ed by the victory won over the Senate on the item incorporated in the naval appropriation bill for the building of a battleship in a government yard. The closing hour was occupied with a spirited debate between Mr. Cousins, of Iowa, and Mr. Richardson, the Democratic leader, over the report on the investigation into the charges made by Captain Christmas concerning the sale of the Danish West Indies. Mr. Cousins ridiculed Mr. Richardson for bringing the matter to the attention of Congress. The latter defended his course. “There is but one thing in connection with the whole matter,” said Mr. Cousins, "that approaches the silliness and absurdity of the driveling diatribe and fictitious tale of-Christmas, and that is the unparalleled and ludicrious performance of deliberately and sol­ emnly spreading it upon the records of the American Congress, where it must remain throughout all history as a shameless challenge to the credulity of man.” Mr. Richardson said that when the secret report of Captain Christmas to tne Danisn government containing the statements as to the alleged bribery of members of Congress was called to has attention he considered it worthy of in­ vestigation. He asserted that the proof was conclusive that Christmas was the agent of Denmark and indeed of the American State Department. “There is not one bit of proof in sup­ port of the latter statement," inter­ posed Mr. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania. "I have proof here,” said Mr. Rich­ ardson, who read the testimony con­ cerning the letter of introduction to Secretary White at London. Mr. Rich­ ardson denied that any member of Con­ gress had been bribed. He had simply believed that the charges were worthy of investigation and to that belief he had proceeded. Mr. Dinsmore, of Arkaknsas, desired, he said, to repel the insinuations cast by Mr. Cousins upon Mr. Richardson for bringing the matter to the atten­ tion of Congress. At 5:28 Mr. Payne and Mr. Cannon, of the committee to wait on the Presi­ dent appeared and Mr. Payne, upon be­ half of the committee, reported that it had discharged its duty. The Speaker, after* making a brief address, declared the House adjourned. Spencer Adams Hiade Judge. Washington, Special.—The President has nominated Spencer B. Adams, of ITorth Carolina, chief judge, and Wal­ ler L. Weaver, of Ohio, and H. S. Foote, of California, associate judges, of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Citizenship Court. Also Seymour W.

Helpfui Talks By Eminent Biblical StHoiarSk . The great Bible Convention, which has been in session ft Davidson, was largely attended and full of interest The Davidson correspondent of the Charlotte Observer gives the follow­ ing account of Tuesday’s meeting:The session wais largely attended and was addressed by Rev. Dr. H. G. Hill, of Maxton, on “The Awfulness of Sin,” ,There are many SWfut objects afid Scenes iii this Hfe;', "The «n$ck8 of .ships, the debris o£ storms, fires and tornadoes, etc., which strike terror td the heart of man. The earthquake shocks produced great dismay. But as appalling as these in nature, no­ thing is so shocking as sin. Jt should bo panted iike the woman 61 inquisi­ tional times with beautiful form and attractive appearance to receive her victims into her embrace simply to pierce them. The PVi fulness of sin can be seen in detail. 1. By consideration of its influ­ ence in reference to God. It sepa­rates from Gbd; as in. the case of our first parents. Sin now drives men in thought and life from God. The pro­ nounced criminals forsake habitually the throne of God. The reprobates are driven with everlasting destruc­ tion from the presence of God. Scrip­ ture says God hates sin though He loves the sinner. The track of time is marked by wrecks of sin, as seen in the destruction of Nineveh, Tyre, Jerusalem, tne, 2. §iil ii&s cursed garth and kindlfis wratii Ifl man. it has brought toil to m aS;. As thd resjiits df. sin an­imals and infants , suffer. Animals inflict dpon each other paiii. Infants who SSver reach intelligence but die, suffer because of sin. May we not pray that God may speedily deliver all creation from this dreadful bond­ age? 3. Sin is appalling in its natural effects upon man. Man lost holiness when he sinned. It makes man an enemy of God, blinds the mind to re­ ligious objects, the demands of the lav/, demands of Christ, it directs virtuous desires to improper objects. It perverts the conscience and dir- torts its judgments. It turns the light to darkness. It affects humau character in every department of na­ ture. It is terrible Upofl Iiiiriian con­ duct. The fool says in his heart and life there is no God. Departing from God means going towards the devil. The results of sin are terrible upon bui/ian destiilyi it does not annihi­ late it man but renders him eternally unhappy. The tft-.godly often in this life desire the Socicty of the good, but cannot enjOy it. Sin is terrible from the fact that creatures can furnish no remedy— man can discover no remedy for sin. Man has tried reformation, pennance and various things, but these have failed to take away sin.' Who can eject sin from the soul but God? Sin is dreadful because its evils are progressive and eternal. This address was followed by an address from Rev. G. W. Belk on the subjeet of more candidates for the ministry. He spoke with so much earnestness on this vital question that apparently every heart was touched and stirred and three brethren were called upon in prayer in success to the Lord of the harvest to send more laborers into the harvest. Chair Manufacturers fleet. Greensboro, Special.—There was a conference between about 35 chair manufacturers and jobbers held in tht Guilford hotel here Monday. In the party were representatives of the tiade from Philadelphia, ChieaRo. St. Louis, Boston, New York, Baltimore. Rich­ mond, Pittsburg, and several other Northern concerns, while Southern in­ terests were represented by manufac­ turers from High Point, Thomasville, Winston-Salem, Atlanta, Fayettevill" Durham, Asheville, Charlotte, Cleve­ land, O., Frankfort, Ky., Knoxville, Teun., Marietta, Ga., and other points. The leading spirit in the meeting was h iiroinineat New YOrk man, who de­ clares this morning that it was ho(d for the purpose solely of discussing the trade situation, and to arrange some basis for mutual protection, with no purpose whatever to form a trust, mer­ ger, combine or consolidation or prop­ erties. While nothing was given out for publication except this, it is a fact that the meeting was harmonious throughout, and an agreement as to fu­ ture lines of conduct of the jobbing and the manufacturing was reached, which it id said will be of great benefit to them, without in the slightest degree hurting the- retail trade’ or consumers. At the same time it is not denied that there will be an advance of 10 per cent, upon all classes of furniture, chairs in­ cluded, but this advance has been be­ fore noted and “was not a result of the conference here last night, but the ne­ cessity of the trade situation for the past six months.

The work of Congress is now closed, sd that it is possible to sum up the hSdri wfiieh IlaS been made during the past ten moirthi, TSrHiCfe, fipMtitutes the first Session of the,57th C&igrsss, The session has beea marked by exceptional business activity, with many questions ef far-reaching general interest.. Wltn the Sfieptifln e* the Cuban reciprocity bill, most of the iafg«r subjects of gen­ eral legislation have be§H enacted as laws. Notable among these IargS a z ­ ures is the isthmian canal bill, whici eanfsumates the efforts of a half cen- tiiry IS. IirlH together the waters of the Atlantic gSd t&§ .Pacific. Aside from its international importaficS this bill probably involved a large sum of money than that covering an? Sther single undertaking by the Government outside of war expenditures. The Phil- ippins civil, government bill is another measure of ^r=Teafihiftg importance, extending to our teindte FSSifie pos­ sessions a system of interiial ftrnl. gov­ ernment, with coinage, current?. Wank­ ing, corporation, timber and homestead laws. Among the other important gen­ eral laws enacted are those repealing tBe wfir 1‘ereflue taxes, extending and making, more effective the Chinese ex- eiiiMSii iaws, and making a tariff for goods to' arid frOm ihe Philippines; ex­ tending the charter of i'iational banks iSr twenty years, arid making a perma- iierit census offise, restricting the sale of oleomargarine by Iflaeing a high tax on imitation butter; providing sj con­ sular and diplomatic service for Cuba, and establishing an extensive system by which the Government will aid in the irrigation of arid sections o! tho West. The repea! of the war revenue taxes reduced taxation $73,350,000, and it said to be the largest single t'gduetlon of taxation ever1 made in this country. By this Step the last of the taxes imposed St the beginning of our war with Spain tt'3§ wiped aut, The Philippine Tariff Act imposed 75 per cent of the Dingley tariff rates on articles cdttiing Irom the Philippines to the United States, and ftlss imposed on the articles entering the Philippiiiea from the United States the rates of duties established by the Philippine commission. The Oleomar­ garine Act is the result of several years Sf agitation: It places a tas of ten cents a pound dfl substaiice§ colored to imitate butter. The IrHgatieii Act is of special importance to the afcynlopment of the West. It creates an irrigation fund in the treasury department, into which is to. be paid the proceeds of the sales of public laiids ifi the arid States. Phis fund In turn is to fee tised in stor­ ing water and establishing irrigation system; tho irrigated sections to be open to homesteaders, who are to be Iharged a proportional share of the cost of improvement. The Chinese ex­ clusion law continues exclusion “until otherwise provided by law,” and also Applies the exclusion “to the island ter­ ritory within the jurirsdiction of the (Jnited StateB,” Aside from these important laws are i number of other measures of general importance, which have passed one or both houses, but have not progressed to the final stage. These include the anti-anarchy legislation, which grew out of the assassination of President McKinley. Bills restricting anarchy and throwing safeguards about the Presi­ dent have passed both branches of Congress, but it was impossible to reach an agreement in conference, so that the subject goes over until next December. A bill giving Statehood to Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma— known as the omnibus Statehood b ill- passed the House, and the Senate has determined to take up the matter at the next session. The ship subsidy bill received atten­ tion in the Senate, but the end of the session has come without the measure being reported to the House. As it passed the Senate the bill grants grad­ ed subsidy to steam and sailing ves­ sels of Amerrican build. In the House it has been deemed desirable to let the subject go over until the short session, when it is expected that a bill on the subject will be reported and presented to the President. The bill creating . an Appalachian forest reserve, including a vast tract in the Appalachian Mountain section Qf the South, has received favorable at­ tention in both -houses,- but has gone over* for final adjustment of differen­ ces until next December. Another bill passed by the Senate ancj likely to be­ come a law changes the marine health service to a national health bureau, and gives the bureau larger powers and facilities for co-operating with the State health authorities in quarantine and health affairsr. The bill to establish a cable between the United States, Hawaii and the Philippines was retired by defeat in the House of Representatives. Several other measures have ad­ vanced to a certain stage and have there halted without, much prospect for further advancement. These in­ clude the resolution looking to the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people. It passed the House by practically a unanimous vote, but in the Senate has received little attention. The House passed a bill relating to immigration laws, cod­ ifying and amending the laws and mak­ ing some important, changes. The bill defining the meaning of conspiracy in injunction cases passed tiie House of Representatives, but has', not made inueh progress in ‘the Senate. On the other hand the Senate passed an im­ portant measure creating a department of commerce to be presided over by a ■ Cabinet officer, but it has made no ^progress in the House, not having been reported from the committee on com­ merce. Another bill of interest to the commercial "world is the pure food measure, which was drafted by, the pure food commission and, after ex­ tended hearings, was reported In the House committee on coinmerce, but not passed. The Flower bill was probably the most important , financial measure Which has been brought before Con­ gress. After considerable public dis- cussijin by the members of the House It has gone over for consideration nexfDecember and the financial mea­ sure known as the Hill bill, providing tor the coinage of subsidiary silver arid for. the retirement .Of the present standard'silver dollar, has passed the House, but has not been acted on m gairiS Jil Alaska, particuiailv game, such as moose, C a iiiio li j*,=' Rico on articles jmportt ;', trri'uited.

He was very angry and threat­ ened severe harm to the Indiana Sena­ tor. The episode was the result o-£ a heated controversy which VhS two SeiiiUbrn had during .the ilftei-nooti) When Mi-i Beferidfeo Md laid that BenMor Baiiey had made “an .tln|rar- tanted attack” ttpoii Stilifcittfr Penlleld, of the StAte liepartment. In executive !session Senator Beveridge, like other Senators who spoke, lighted a cigar Wd took a seat on the Republican side. He was still sitting there when the Senate adjourned. Mr. Bailey crossed the aisle end walked through tho Seats until he Was facing Senator Bev 1 Sridgfr. “Beveridge,” he said, “I don’t want to have any trouble with you, but I want you to withdraw those words which charge me with making an un­ warranted attack upon Penfleld-." “I did not ihteiid to ihsuit yBU;” re­ plied Senator BfevfertciSb; “lh4 there is nothing in my language that you could consider offensive.” “I don’t allow any one to say that I lie about a man and that is what you do in making ths charge. Kowi if you WSft’t WitMrdiS the Words, when I ask you, I’m going to make you withdraw them.” Senator Bailey had been getting more and more angry and excited as he talked. He had be&& sitting dhwil bart Oi tiie tim6; (if leaning against the Sesk ;immediately in front of Senator Beveridge. The latter in reply to Sena­ tor Bailey’s last remark, still remain­ ing in his chair, said: “I repeat that I did not intend to in­ sult you, and that I have nothing t8 re­ tracts'' , Ag these wdrds were iittered Senatot Bailey thr^W hiraSelf ttp&i Sfeiiatbr Beveridge, who is a man hardly up to tlie average in physique, and seized him by the throat with both hands. The rush was so sudden and fierce that the chair in which Mr. Beveridge was sitting was pushed back against a desk Iuid the desk was toppled over.

Senator Bacon, of QsSrgiS, Snd IJarnet Layton, assistant doorkeeper, came quickly forward and assisted In pulling the Texas Senator further away.

Senator SpOoner went acrosB the aiele and discussed trie mat­ ter with the TeXas SeiiatBri urging Bini to apologize ahd if pdssible fix it up it Once, but Senator Bailey refused all Giich proffers, declaring that Senator Beveridge had insulted him In the Senate and that he had taken the only course left, as the Indiana Senator had refused to withdraw his remarks. Senator Beveridge remained in the chamber for some little time and con­ tinued to smoke his cigar. He remarked to those who spoke to him on the sub­ ject that it did not amount to any­ thing. • He made no effort to resist or resent ths attack made on him. In fact the whole thing was over In a very brief interval before much resistance could- have been ottered. ,When Mr. Beveridge was asked if he had any statement iegarding the as* sault committed by Mr. Bailey, he ex­ pressed great regret over what had oc­ curred and said he had no personal re* sentment over the matter. The conver­sation before the trouble, Mr. Bever­ idge stated, was substantially the same as that which had bCcurred in the Sen­ ate chamber regarding the attack on Judge Penfield, who is an Indiana man, except on his (Beveridge’s) part it was much milder. Mr. Beveridge said he was not excited, but remained cool and collected and expressed to Mr. Bailey his wish that their relations might continue agreeable. Mr. Beveridge denied that he had been choked by Mr. Bailey. According to his version, the Texas Senator made a lunge at him, but his arm was caught by Senator Spooner before the threat­ ened blow landed. bloati I •/. ~ Ucseu W iU l UUUU u<& ui*/iU icoo5 ituuiuucoo) XdOdxuuuc9irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, .“all- .and “want-to-be-left-alone” feelings, blues, and hopelessness, 1ou^ remember there is one tried and true remedy.

He is paying now the cost, of the war which gave Cuba her independence and will go on paying pensions on the same ac­ count for many years to coins. The benefit given to the Cuban planters is taken out of the pocket of the Ainei-U can farmer. But the Cuban piantef pays neither American pensions and wages nor American taies, He does not pay a dollar Of the Cost Of making his island independent. The only way to get anything from him- for all that was spent to make him free is by put­ ting a tariff on his sugar and tobacco.

Now that what they complained of for not being done hds been done, these same complainers are raising a howl and say­ ing the duty on cattle and beef Is tha foundation of the Beef Trust. It is so tiard for some people to be candid whea discussing a question that so material­ ly affects the Uvipg of so many of the' people of the country.

A change in one schedule creates a demand to rip iip others, and in the end the whole fabric would probably :be involved, consuming the time of Congress that could be much better applied ~tdr other purposes. - Meanwhile business would halt be­ cause of the element of uncertainty in­ troduced.

TheRepublicans of Davie Coun­ ty met in Convention Monday for the purpose of electing delegates, quite a large crowd considering the busy season &c. The Hon. C. A. Reynolds was present and made a strong speech which was well re­ ceived; his speech was along con­ servative busifiess lines, and was a strong appeal to the people to lay aside predjudice and be governed by reason, and to look at politics from a business standpoint. After the speech, the Conven­ tion was called to order by Dr. Kimbrough, Chairman of the Ex­ ecutive Committe; the Editor was made chairman and A. T. Grant Jr., secretary.

Uncle Peter was born and raised a slave in Ya., but had been a resi­ dent of Mooksville tor many years, working at his trade of blacksmith ing. Quiet, polite and lawabiding, he was lil^d and respected by ev­ erybody in the town. Uncle Peter talked to us during the campaign of 1900 when the Amendment was under discussion, and we could not help pittying the old man, born a slave, made a freeman and given the right to vote, a privilege he dearly prized, and one which he seemed loth to part with, yet he would say. “Everything -will come right, &e.

In 1900 ISoss Siifinionsand more than 1.00 otlicr Demotiratic Iaw- VCi1S signed a written opinion that (he Amendment was constitution­ al- water-tight. Now in the . face of this opinion of these learned Dcmoeiatie Attorneys, the Boss ei> s the Republicans are going to knoi-fc it into smithereens. Did Mr. Simmons aud his learned at­ torneys know what they were say­ ing when they signed this opinion? 2nd. Some time ago Mr, Sim­ mons’ crowd charged that the Re­ publicans were raising a big cam­ paign fund with which to pay the Ii woes poll tax in order to enable them to vote. Nowr if the Republi- caus had arranged to have Amend­ ment declared void, and thus let in negro.s, whites and all, why Mt. Sixiaons would they be fools enough to pay these poll taxes as you all; ye, wheu thev would be permitted to vote without it, if your last contention had any truth and foundation in it? The B iss is striking at the air, an ' as ar yet, has not pricked ov - bumble. but is making a Dagiiiiigstoek of liimself'by the redieulousness of his various propo sitious. Mr. Simmons, in our opiniou is working this scheme at this time in order to enable his madiine to capture the negro voce next November, We believe the Democratic machine is working for the negro to-day, and Boss ,Simmons wants Senatar Pritchard to come out in such a manner that lieand his crowd can go to the ne­ groes, aud say, --the Repnblicans have kicked you out, now eorae and vote with us; we will do more lor von than the Republicans can or will. We, the Democrats have givon you offices—we made Judges of two or three hundred ofoyou in 1900- we have gone on your bonds for Postmasters, and then cussed the radicales for appointing you. Do you see! Incouclnsioa Mr. Stmmons, if the Republicans are its big fools as your manifestoes, dreams aud vis­ ions would indicate, if we were - in your place we would not make an ossiniiio creature of myself to ho Eood purpose. Republicans are going before the people on the groat economic questions of the 'by, and yon aud your crowd can chase rain bows to yonr hearts cou- trat, but you are not going to fool all the people by a jug full. TIIE “BOSS” AGAIN. Ltss Simmons is out in another loiigletlergiving reasons why the people should be treated to another "1Sger, Nigger, Nigger campaign. “Epubiicajs are under no obliga­ tions to the Boss, aud should pay 110 Jirtlicr attention to his de­ mands.

The Republicans of Davie Ooiin ty iu convention assembled, do re­ solve 1st. IYe point with pride totke Republican administration of Da­ vie county affairs. The offices are filled by- honest and competent of­ ficials, and the finances of the county are in good shape. Our County Commissioners since their incumbency have reduced the railroad bonded debt from $27,- OOO to $15,000, aud thus saved the tax-jiayers many thousand dol lars. Theyhave also payed 100 cents on the dollar on all obliga­ tions, and have reduced the tax levy, thus decreasing the tax upon the people. 2nd, We congratulate the peo pie of North Carolina upon this participation in the great prosperi­ ty which has come to them through the Republican party along pro­ tective lines, and the legislation which has given us a good finan­ cial .system guaranteeing to every man a dollar worth 100 cents, whose purchasing power is equal to that of the most enlightened and favored nations of the world. 3rd. That the restoration of confidfcr ce by reason of the wise legislation of the Republican par­ ty has encouragee the building of cotton mills and various manufac­ turing plants, especially in our southland, thus giving employ­ ment to labor aud affording a rea­ dy market for all of our products at remunerative prices. 4th. That we deplore the un­ timely death of the lamented Win. McKinley at the hands of an an­ archistic assassin. In his death the whole country lost a wise, good and patriotic ruler, who had- done all in his power to restore good feeling and heal the wounds be­ tween thesection3. Under his wdse administration the war with Spain had been fought to a conclusion and victory crowned our army, and aud au honorable peace was con­ cluded between the nations and the majesty and honor of our coun­ try aud flag had been protected and upheld. , 5th. We congratulate his suc­ cessor, President Theodore Roose­ velt for following and upholding the traditions, the promises and pledges made by the Republican party and its late lamented- Presi­ dent, and pledge him our best ef. forts in aiding'him to uphold the principles of the Republican party, which are and will conserve the best interests of the entire people throughout this great country of ours. 6th. We ajipeal to Oie people of Davie County and the State of North Carolina regardless of past party affiliations to join with us in the coming election in an effort to defeat the machine Democracy for its broken promises and pledg­ es to the people made. , 6th. Wearraign and denonce the Democratic paity in the State for the inauguration of corruption and fraud in elections, and for passing partizan and unfair elec­ tion laws, whereby it deprived thousands of the right to register and vote, and also for denying to ^Republicans fair representation ou election boards and for its fraud and corruption in counting and making returns of elections. 8th. We further arraign and denonnce~them fpr repealing the ancient writ- of mandamus, thereby protecting and upholding the ras­ cality and fr^ud of its registrars' and election offiicers, .,thereby !de­ priving the people of rights guar-' anteed them under the laws; .also for its appropriation of the peo­ ple's money do defend and protect these officers in the violation of their sworn duty. 9th. We further denounce them for the greatest and most disgrace­ ful partisan act of the century, in impeaching the two Republican judges of the.Supreme Couit for jiartizan ends.) : 10th. We Aledge the people if successful iu the coming election to advocate and urge the passage of wholesome laws which, will be both fair and liberal to the people, as well as to the corporate inter­ ests of our State. 11th. Recognizing the force and import of that clause in the constitution which says that “all elections ought to be free,” we promise the people if successful at the polls next November to urge the legislature to enact into law a fair, houest and rigidly impartial election law. giving to every man entitled to vote a right to vote and have that vote counted. 12, Wecongratnlatethe Hon. 0. Pritchard, U. S. Senator from this State for the wise, im partial and liberal manner in hich he has performed the many and arduous duties developing up­ on him, always regardful cf the best interests of his people and State, we commend him to our countrymen and pledge him to our best efforts in procuring his re- election to the position he is now so ably filling. Mexican wnt readily overcome Lora of Hair, Mustang Liniment RESPECTABILITY. The Republican, county conven­ tion was held here Monday to ap­ point delegates to the State, con­ gressional, judicial and senatorial conventions. Charles A, Repnolds, of Winston, was present aud made a speech in the interest of the Re- puidican party, It is said that his speech was a diversion from the usual Repnblicau speech but was a conservative one and left impression on disinterested par­ ties that the Republican party had accepted the amendment in good faith and would make their fight on national issues. If this be true and Mr. Reynolds’advice, or rath­ er his line be heeded the Republi­ can party will have a more respect able following whether they ever win or not in the State.—-Davie Times. The above was clipped from the DavieTimesofJnly 10 th. Some things in this sounds sorter like Boss Simmons’ manifesto. Iu the first place Republicans believe in observing the law, but we do not think it necessary to tell and assure the Democratic machine how and what we are go­ ing to do in the coming campaign. AYe are not asking them to put 11s in possession of their plaus,and schemes. We know theyr aie ,go­ ing to drag iu the “Nigger,” and stuff ballot boxes if necessary to carry the election. The Republi­ can party is not ashamed to go be­ fore the jieople aud ask its sup­ port. AVearegoing to ask and demand a fair election. Now as to respectability of the Republiian party, we have this much to say. AVe don’t have to go to the Machine Democracy to get respectability, if we did, the last State of the jiarty would be worse than the .first, for a crowd who have been stealing nigger votes for 35 years, stuffing ballot boxes, parading the country in Red shirts toting shot guns and winchesters to overawe the people and then to talk about the res­ pectability ol the Rejm blicanpaity makes itself rediculons. THE CORPORATION TAX. -The Cooleemee Cotton Mills through their book-keeper Mr. T. V. Terrell, and Mr. T. B. Bailey att’y, applied for a release of the $100, on Monday last. The last legislature it seems tried to grind corporations to death. They, not only require, them to pay taxe3 as do individuals on a fair valuation of their property but under sec- tion 91, chapter 9 levied a gradua­ ted franchise tax..

AN AWFUL DISASTER Johnstown Suffers Another Fearful Visitation, $WIFT DEATH IN MINE EXPLOSION Dead Bodies of nany Victims Taken Out W ith Difficulty— Sorrow Pre­ vails Over the City. ' Johnstown, Pa,, B pirtal-1Thi* city suffered another awful visitation rival­ ing the calamity ot 1889. The disaster came in the form ot an explosion Ift the Rolling Mill Mine of the Carolina. Steel Company last Thursday. A Friday dis­ patch gives the following particulars: “This has been a day of heroic res­ cues at the Rolling Mill Mine of the Cambria Steel Company. Thrilling ex­ periences attended the efforts of the 40 brave and daring fellows who went down into the bowels of the earth with I very faint hope to spur them that still they might be in time to restore to life some ot those who are entombed. Death lurked everywhere around them, but undaunted they surged forward, Stayed with the noblest of human pur­ poses. The reward of their efforts was the saving of the lives of 14 of their fellowmen and bringing them again into the sunlight back to loving fami­ lies. Dead and maimed bodies were Io- cated but no effort was made to’ bring them out of the vast theatre of dq^th until every human energy was put for­ ward towards seeing'that no living soul might escape their aid. That done, the dead were attended to and put In tram cars, brought up and exposed to the morbid gaze while being transfer­ red to wagons in which to be taken to the morgue. Eighty-seven dead bodios were recovered from the mine between daylight and nightfuall. Still a party of officers and miners battled on, three miles inside the mine. Occasionally word would come to the surface by Some mysterious means that another group of remains had been exposed to the vision of the searchers. There are dangerous headings In the Klondike section of the mine yet to be exploit. No one knows how many more Sead may be found there. The mine officials refrain from guess work on the sub­ ject. A feeling prevails that 150 is a low estimate of the casualty list. Johns­ town spent the day, horror-stricken. From dawn to dusk flying ambulances coursed the streets bearing gruesome burdens from mine to morgue, from morgue to homes. At midnight President Powell Stack­ house was seen at the mouth of the mina and gave out the following state- m sft: “The disaster is an awful one and came on us entirely unexpected. The mine had been inspected only three days ago and was pronounced In satis­ factory conditions. In the 30 years that the mine has been in the operation no serious accident has. occurred. The cause is yet inde5nita, but I believe it was caused by gas escaping from the fifth heading which was closed and was not being worked because It contained gas, into the sixth head­ ing ‘The number of casualties is now placed at 125. NO list of the names of the dead miners can be given, for the majority of them were foreigners and_ Vicere known only by check and not by name. The only way their names will ever be known if the bodies ah> not recovered in time for identification, will be by their families sending their names t? us.” The mine in which the dreadful thing occurred is one of the largest coal mines in the United States, according to the statement of officials tonight. From the entrance in the hill across the river from the point to the one at Mill Creefc Is a distance of 3% miles. The IQendlke section in which the ex- Plojpijn occurred is about two miles ifem the Mill Creek entrance. The mine is divided into a large number of headings, levels and sec­ tions. The sections run'off to the left and right of the headings and are known as right and lefts by tfc« min­ ers. Th© men who 'escaped this after­ noon have spent years working in it. Otherwise they could never have roach- cd the surface. Lights were out and there was ho way for them to find their way to the top had, they not known the mine perfectly. The few survivors who have escaped from the depths of the mines describe'the conditions as frightful. Outeitlg of the “Klondike" the mines are and uninjured. Osborne In Hore Trouble. Norfolk, Va., Special1-W ith the hope of obtaining a confession from Charles Frederick Osborne, held for the murder of his wife in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and suspected of murdering another here, several weeks ago, the police are thinking of subjecting him to the fa- . tnous “third degree.” Osborne iB Indif­ ferent and does not show the grief- stricken countenance that he did at his last trial. He pretends to remember nothing, not even his wife out West, and those who once thought him in­nocent now pronounce him the worst villian unhung. Commonwealth Attor­ ney Tilton will give a definite decision as to whether he will hold Osborne here for murder or allow the Oklahoma authorities to take him.- - Oaynor and Qreene Asra’n.

ReaSiiig was burled In the ftfterfioou at the county home-. Conley’s crime was the murder of Gus Davis, a well-known young colored man, on the 22nd of last November. Conley was a stranger here, only stop­ ping: ever on his way to Birmingham, Ala. He had had a quarrel with Davil several days before the killing and bad expressed an intention to do min bodily injury. The killing t66 k place as both, witli a RUMber of other colored youths, were Ih the act'of leaving a festival Which had been gives near the passen­ ger depot. The. circumstance* were Be* culiarly atrocious. Upon a slight Suar^ re] he jumped upon DaviB stabbed him with a kftlie. Thea as the injhrei man broke away aid ran fiffit &s his condition W duid pferTiiit, crying to the others t&r Gfta’S sake not to let Conley kill KiSfi, the latter overtook him and tabbed him several times in the most savage manner, .causing his death ifi A tew minutes, He was found tw 8 hours later, about I o’clee* i& the S8 rfiin| indera bed in ftRegl-3 Woman’s house in Church Street. After convictions he pas g\Vea the benefit of an appeal to -he Supreme Court, but without avail. Flemming's crime, committed on the 18th of last FebriMMry, was of even a more aggravated nature. The house of a lone Widow In the upper part of the County, where she was living with the youngest of her six children, was bro­ ken into in tfie dead of night by Flem­ ing, in company, with one or mere com­ panions, and the poor wo&aa foully and brutally outraged. Fleming entered through the door after it had been forced and extinguished a lamp which had been burning. It thus happened that ha was the only one whom the rlctim, Mrs.- Belle Livengood1 could identify without difficulty. Besides her ‘.estlmony a glove proved ta haVe be­ longed to him WaS found just outside :he house. On a description furnished Jy Mrs. Livengood, Rich Blaton, the nan who was respited yesterday and A iird negro named Ed. Waoete, who bad been seen With FlSmihg so hie time before the criifte wi's committed, were &lso taken Into custody. On the trial Fleming's guilt was evident and WoOdS (vas acquitted by the Jury fOr want of jvidence. Oa the St&Bd Mrs..-Livengood stated that She believed Blanton to have been &ne Qf the men who commit­ ted the assault, but refused to identify him positively. For Blaton an alibi was introduced which was strong evidence, though not of a conclusive nature even (f considered fully established. An ap­ peal to the Supreme Court “was heard. Fleming made‘an alleged confession, stating that he was alone when he committed the crime, thus making a clear issue of veracity-between himseli Wd Mrs. Livengood. It has been sup- posed, as a plausible explanation, that Memiag wished .to save Blaton, whom he knew to be innocent, without in- VOlyiag the guilty party or parties. Destructive Fire at Clinton. Wilmington, Special.—Clinton, the county seat of Sampton, a town of about 3,500 people, was swept by a dis­ astrous Sre Sunday and the loss is es­ timated at $100,000, %tth about $20,Ood insurance.

A meeting has been called for July 11, to consider the replies to circulars advo­ cating joint action of the spiinners in resorting to short-time.

Those, who desire that the Democrats shall make opposition to a protective tariff the leadiug issue In the‘future should understand that the situation has changed since that party carried the country, as it alleged, on a platform .containing a declaration for **a tariff for revenue only.” The country has had a great deal of experience siuee 1892, It hag seen tile attempt to pass a revenue tariff fail- and it has seen the half revenue fihd half protective tariff Of tlie DfiniBcratic Bennte lvhich President Cieyelaiid would h6t sign plunge tlie country from fi general Con­ dition of industrial Sctivity to one of general depression^ %liieli continued until tlife passage of tiie riiisglej. tariff brought; jwith a Ee^uhlicaii, adminisr tration; the highest iind moit geueial prosperity a naition.. ever .knew.'- Tlie average people of the country; those who till the. fai;ms,..w.ork in factories and are connected in a thousand ways with the business and industry of tiie country, remember these experiences with a half revenue tariff and a pro­ tective tariff. They understand that the command of the American market for American producers has given the highest imdustrial activity the modern world has witnessed. They know that the American people are prosperous when the remainder of the world is not, and most of them know (hat that prosperity is because the American pro­ ducer controfs the largest and : best, market its the world. Moreover, they fcno# Hititj iiaring once tried the giving up t>f Ahiericaii markets to obtain ad- Yahtagel witii disaster as (lie result; (hey wiii iiot repeat the mistake. The aveve.se people of the Northerii States are fairly well informed regard-, iiig the tariff issue. The last time they Spoke their views directly was.ill the Congressional elections of 1 894. it was Sn emphatic verdict; The average peo-* pie are so well informed regarding the tariff that they will not be deceived by such shallow pretenses as that the duty on meats has anything to do with I he present high prices. They know that the United States is the producer of more meat for exportation than nearly all other countries, and they know enough of the products-of other coun­ tries to know that there is no country in the world that would or could ship meats In any qnantity to the United States if there were no (Juty on cattle, hogs, sheep and meats. They know that Canada, which must "feed stock six months in the year, and which cannot raise corn, could not furnish enough animals or meat to affect the price. They kiiow that South AiBericau taeat Would hot sell ill the tliiited fetates; if they do not know now they will know that the prices of tiie great staples produced in this country are A bout the same in Burope as here. They know that wnat are called the great trusts are confined to articles which the tariff does not affect, with the single exception of sugar. The mass of the people with fair intelli­ gence will know before the campaign is over that the great trusts are power­ ful because of the rebates of railroads and Otliev practices in restraint of trade.—Indianapolis Journal. Be Calm* At the present time there seems to be some difference Of opinion as to What attitude a Eepublicau ought to take oil the tariff, whether he ought to be proud of tiie American policy wii-di was so strongly demanded iu 189B and the wturn to which made prosperity so abounding In 3000 that even the Democratic party did not dare to re­ solve against it. .But it is best to sus­ pend judgment for the present. This is a time of unsettlement and hlgli prices, April was a bad mouth. Ir looked as if It Was the first month or B protracted spring drouth. Business began t t feel panicky on account of it. But the rains came-and conditions are going back to the normal-. Tbfi people are getting Sver their scare. They are becoming more calim Fortunate is the irian who can contain himself during times of panics Or incipient panics! There is fl8 gobd reason why any man Should change Uis view on the tariff, it is just as good a thing now as it Was Iii 1892 or 1890 or 1900. Simply because conditions have changed a lit­ tle industrially is no reason for imme­ diately modifying one’s views on a cardinal principle. The idea of ripping everything up every time a little discouragement overtakes business conditions, is really a rery detrimental idea. In times OC stress one should learn to suspend Judgnwnt--Cedar Ilapids Republican. Tariff War Talk. It is tbe opinion of the Philadelphia Manufacturer, a newspaper well situ­ ated to judge of cause and effect in trade matters, that all talk of a.com­ mercial war between this country and any European competitor is ill-found­ ed. We occupy tbe unique position of producing practically everything , we require. Should it come to the point of shutting out all* imports there is hardly a single article with which we would have to do without. That is not the case on the other side of (he Atlantic. There is not a single coun­ try that produces its entire require­ ments. Shut off tha cotton, the grain and provision supply from this country and all Europe would go hungry, and many people who now talk so lightly of closing Europaan markets to Amer­ ican products would sea starvation staring them in the lace.

It is said this duty should be removed as au aid to netting at the triist. The duty of tweuiy- .seven and a half per cent, ad valorem is on cattle valued at more ihau $14 per head. Cattle less than oue year old may be brought iu at ?2 per head, and all others, it valued at not more than $14 per head, at $3.75 per bead. AU animals brought iu for breeding ■purposes are admitted free of duty. The duty provided on cattle, as all Uie duties of schedule G of the tariff act of 1897. is for the protection of the American farmer. If it can be shown that It is to his interest to put cattle on the free list, then it is worth while to cry out for that! Iiut that tills is tt matter closely related to tlie alleged beef combine is hot to be believed on tilt! Strength of aii Btitcry, Tbe tariff on fresh beef is two cents d pound. It woiild be more to the purpose to make a noise in behalf or the repeal of that dutj, for It is cheaper beef that concerns tbe consumer. But the truth is we do not import beef. AVe do itbport cattle,- but tiie cattle imported are not fit for the block; they go to the ranges, and-iind their way iu I lie course of time through the feeders to the market afforded by the packers. Whatever competition might come by tiie removal of the duly on caltle would be well down (he line, not at all calculated to affect the profits of the packers.

They were unearthed at Euborea, where the professor carried on some experi­ mental excavations for palaeonto­ logical : remains- In addition to the beads cl t'le horned horses, the.heads and shir ‘.,ones of rhinoceri and other prehistoric animals were. discovered. It is curious that out of the six places in the world where the remains of the horned horse have been found three '.re Greece and a fourth in Samos, C!ia Greek archipelago.

Ancient City in Mexico. Leopold Batres, conservatot ot archaeological monuments in Mexico, has exhumed an ancient city of the Zapotecas in the State Oaxaca. In its center U a grand'plaza. and rising to the north of the plaza are terraces, on which are founded two great tem­ ples, while in the center of the piaza itself are two missive mausoleums in which the priests, of the temple? ware burisd. Cn opposite sides of thj public square there are also twelve smaller shrines, six-on either hand, all supported*by heavy columns of basalt covered with hieroglyphic In­ scriptions In bas-relief. In the tem­ ples the history of the people was found inscribed, in the language ol the Zapotecas, .upon fifty tablets of 3tone. So much of the surprisingly rare historic import has already been found that Mr. Batres will ask the UtWarnment for. more men to be put U the work of exhnriiing and restor­ ing the., buildings of the long-burled city. ■ - ; ■ - / SOME .PECULIARITIES OF WRITERS Kany Cannot Do Qood Work Unless tfaetf Vadi Are Humored* “I have often smiled,” said the edi­ tor, “et the peculiarities displayed by the different people while writing thelf storieS.

Congratulations came thick and fast yesterday to Representative Blackburn of the Eighth North Carolina district. The occasion for the congratulations' w'as the passage of a bill, under the sus­ pension of the rules, to establish United States courts at Wilkes- boro, N. C. Mr. Blackburn introduced the bill in the House on the 28th of May, and it was referred to the Judiciary committee. It was unanimously reported to the House on the 26th day of June, and yes- day was the first time the hiembxf from the 8th North Carolina dis­ trict had an opportunity to call it up. It is uunsuaLto pass such .a measure under the suspension of the rules, and especially on the day fixed for the final adjourn­ ment. It was due as such to the per­ sonal popularity of Mr. Blackburn neighboring towns as the report of the JndiciaYy Committee that its passage was secured. Mr. Blackburn says it is the most important measure for his section of the Tar Heel State that has passed- this session. —Washing Times.

IKTOTjERA S CE. Ton eannot fool the pnblic eter­ nally and forever. There must be charity, forgiveness and tolerai ce as well as religion.—Greensboro Record, Dein. Xothing we have seen lately in a Democratic paper Rtrnek us so forcibly as the above. At no time in the history of our country was theie such a display of the spirit of intolerance as for the -past few years. It has entered the ehnreli, aud is sapping is sapping its pow­ er for good. The Amen Cjrner, brethren, cannot tolerate a man unless he is a Democrat. Some of the preachers are so infected with it, that their religion has been lost sight of, aud their influence for good destroyed. They have for­ gotten the Biblical injiuictiou ‘•Keep your selves unspotted from the world, “Love one another’’ &e, and are so intent on keeping on the good side of their Democratic brethren that they eannot. tolerate a Republican, unless he he has a good bank account. As for ns. we want nothing to do with sueh people, "We know what the Bible teaches, whether we belong to a church or not, and people who can not- treat those who differ with them with ordinary conrtesy, in everyday life and intercourse can go to heaven, if they cat) in their own svay; as lor us, we will take to the woods. Onr opinion is sim­ ply this. Where there is no chari1 ty ard tolerance, there is no reli­ gion, and all the preachers in the world could not convince us to the contrary. “Jvero fiddled while Liome was burning.” bEMOCRATIC &.TATE CON VJ3XTJON. The convention which assem­ bled in Greensboro last week did what the Bosses decreed, nomina­ ted JTadge Clark for Chief Justice almost unanimously. Judge Con­ nor and Mr. AValker were nomi­ nated for Associate Justices, Mr. Beddingfield for Corporation Com­ missioner, and Mr, Joyeutr lor Snpt. of Pnblic Instruction. If all is true, that lia3 been charged by the Democrats Judge Clark is’ unfit to sit upon the bench aud should have been defeated, but the Machine no doubt was under obligations to him, for the part he-played in the recent cam­ paign, aud for his assistance in the impeachment of the Republican Judges, and no'doubt in our mind but what Judge Clark held a card up his sleeves, which the Machine did not want him to play at this time. We personally are glad that Judge Brownwas not nomi­ nated. From the report of the convention read in Democratic pa pers one would think Maj. Stead- mon’s estimate of the crowd pretty good, cursing, and passing the lie were favorite expressions. Boss Simmons speech, they say fell fiat, when he suggested another cam­ paign on the “nigger” issue. His explanation of the management of the Democratic administration, which has collected about fonr hundred thousand dollars more taxes than collected by Republi­ cans, and has had to go to New York and borrow two hundred thousand dollars is alarming, and shows the people what they may expect if the Democratic party is continued in power in this State. A cliange is badly needed, and if all signs do not fail, Republicau success is assured. From all ac­ counts, there were nearly as many people in attendance at the Re- publican- conv intion at W ilkesboro as at Greensboro. All we ask is a fair election with all fraud elimi­ nated, and Te will be content. Let Republicans do their duty and and victory is assured. THE DEMOCRATIC CONVEN TIOS. Our attention has been called to a protest signed by the Ministers of Greensboro, published in the Charlotte Oltserver of the ISth. Itseems that Maj, Steadman’s estimate of the crowd whs antici­ pated by the city' fathers suspen­ ding the ordinance requiring the saloons to close early, and the city fathers extended the hoar to 12 o,eloek :mid-night, and left it open for the Republican Convention also which assembles on Aug, 28th. Wehope Senator Pritchard and the Republican State Executive Committee will notify thecity lath­ ers of Greensboro, that, the usual hours for closing the saloons will be acceptable to them, and that we do not- desire an extension of the closing hours foc,the benefit of the Republican Convention. Maj. Steaeman’s estimate of his own convention ‘‘bringing peanut poli­ ticians, mean whiskey and iobacco to town,” we hope will not apply to the State Republican conven­ tion. The Demooratic party claims to contain the wealth and in telligencc, but from all accounts o f the recent Democratic Convention it was a howling mob, too much intelligence stimulated by mean whiskey must have gotten in. its work, ,from Demoaratic accounts of the convention. VVe will ap­ preciate all the courtesies the good people may see proper to extend to us on Aug. 28th, but close your aloon-i as usual gentlemen, we can get fill we may need at the usual hours, and we hope none will get too much on that occasion. We lire going to meet- there as a delib­ erative body, to put up a good ticket, and one which the people of JTorth Carolina will elect, and we will need cool heads, aud a wise determination to do that - which will redound to the best interests of the people, and the Republicau party. We know some things about the generous hospitality of the good people of Greensboro, for we have been there, but we decline 'with thanks this 12 o’clock mid­ night extension, and request the city fathers to leave it open for the next Demociatic Convention, if taey desire.

McCor- kle, of Charlestonj has turned his back on the' Democratic and will hereafter espouse the republican cause. He was governor of this State from 1898 to 1897, and was elected by the democrats. In Pittsburg a day or two ago he said.- “Give me no more Democratic administrations. I’ve had enough of them. Republican power has brought- my state the greatest era of prosperity it has ever - experien­ ced! ■ Everybody who wa'nts work can work, and those who have tnon ey-are getting good returns on their investments. I hope there will be no more democratic admin­ istrations. They always- cause fear of upsetting-things and some­ body is generally the loser. The recent Republican administration has brought about confidence and prosperity. -My state, of which am proud, is keeping in line, and is well up in the procession of bu­ siness and general prosperity, which I sincerely hope has come to stay; West .

IlI I f131 Startling Figures Showing Wealth of Steel Combine, ' MANY MILLIONS IN ASiETS Big United States Stee! Corporation Qlves Out Figures That - Show Its Enormous Wealth. ' Newark, N. J., Special.—TUe answer of the United States Steel Corporation to the suit brought by 3* Aspinwall Hodge, Wm. K. Curtiss and : Bprisard Smith, who asko4 tor an injunction to prevent the company froirf carrying-out its bond conversion plan, was filed Tuesday, before Vico Chancellor Eme­ ry. The case was put over1 until July 23. The answer was SwrOrn to by Chas. M. Schwab as president. t The assets of. the properties Ol the subsidary companies, it is stated, in­ cluded 400 producing mills of tile value of $300,000,000 ; 75 blast furnaces of the value of $4S,000.000; iron and Bessemer 1 ore properties of the value of $700,009,J €00; coal and coke properties of the value of $100,000,000; naturaVgas fields of the value of $20,000,000; cash in bank Io the amount o£ $66,000,000 and over $S0,000,000 of material in process of’ manufacture. The total vaitie of the company’s property, including cash she) cash assets, is. placed at $1,400,000,000 by Mr. Schwao in an affidavit which is part of the corporation’s reply. The company’s earning’s are stated to be at the rate of more than $140,000,000 a year. A saving o£ $30,000,000 a year is credit to the ore properties and it is estimated that the ownership of trans­ portation facilities saves .the company $10,000,000 annually. The earnings of the coal and coke properties are sta^ejl- to be more than $1,000,000 a month. Jhe statements as to values and' earn­ ings were presented to disprove a charge by the plaintiffs, that Mr. Schwab, the president, and Mr. Trim­ ble, the secretary, made a false certifi- Cate when they certified that in their judgment the properties were worth at least the par Value of the . preferred stock after deducting all indebtedness. The conversion plan was agreed upon at a stockholders’ meeting May 19. The, answer admits that jfee conversion plan inclqdes a payment of $10,000,000 to J. P. Slorgan & Company. It denies that any of the acts contemplated wiii- work fraud or injury to the complain­ ants, but says that on the contrary such acts when consummated will be greatly to the benefit of the corpora­ tion and of every stockholder. The Answer says that some of the directors, are members of the syndicate formed by J. P. Morgan & Co., to iloa .1 bonds and that that fact was conveyed to stockholders in a circular dated'April 17,1902. It is further declared that the directors so interested constitute a mi- p6rity of the board of directors, tha^ they were individually at the time of the formation of such syndicate and now are owned by holders of large in­ terests of the stock of .the defendant corporation, and that they became par­ ties to said syndicate and assumed their proportion of the' liability thereof in order to assure the success of the plan of purchasing and retiring the prefer­ red stocit,ias they believed such plan to be of great value to the defendant cor­ poration and its stockholders. Mr. Schwab's answer contains- the following statement of the value of the corporation’s property which estimate he says he regards as below its real value: Iron and Bessemer ore proper­ ties $700,000,000; plants, mills, fixtures, machinery, equipment, tools and real estate $300,000,000; coal and coke fields (87,589 acres). $100,000,000; transpor­ tation properties, including railroads, 1,467 miles, terminals, docks, ships, (112) equipments, (23,185 cars and 428 locomotives) etc., $80,000,000; blast fur­ naces $48,000,000; natural gas fields $20,000,000; limestone properties $4,- •00,000; cash and cash assets as of June I, 1902, $148,201,000; total $1,400,291,- 000. j Eurned By a Mob. Clayton, Miss., Special.—While Mis3 Tucker, a highly connected young lady, of this section, was riding in the country Wednesday, she was as­ saulted by a negro.

The negro was soon captured and held by a posse of citizens, but they were unable to pro­ tect him, and he was taken from the people, saturated with oil, tied to a tree and burned. Torpedo Boats Have Mishaps. Norfolk, Special.—The torpedo boat Biddle ran aground near the Rip Raps last night and remained in a helpless condition until floated Thursday morning by the government tug Mo­ hawk.

The proceedings were open­ ed by Mr. Taschereau, counsel foi* the prisoners, who pr^du^e^ affidavits of feenjamia I)-. Czfeehe A at on May 17 Mr. Srwift called on him at the Wind­ sor HQtei, Montreal, when Erwin said to Greene: “If you will pay $500,000 to settle the whole, matter, I will go at once to Washington aart advise its ec- ceptance." Greeae replied that He could ijot Stand that, bfcbause he had not money eftough to pay his half of the amount, but that Erwin said: '4Gaynor has enough. I don’t know where it is. but he has it.” To this Greene-said! "If you will say $200,000 t will talk with Colonel Gay- &dr«about it."Elrwin replied, the affidavit contin­ ued: “That will not be enough.” Greene then added; “What do you think of $300,000Ti He said: “I don’t think that i§ ehought, but. .you don’t want to go through the rest of your life hunted wherever you go, and you .must remember that if you are extra­ dited,.and are in Georgia it will be tec late to make a settlement.” s Greene filially replied: “Weil, any- Jway^ I don't see how We can pay any money b&caUsfe that would be an admis­ sion (gWur part that we have received money wrongfully, and that we have not done.” Mr. McMaster read an affidavit sign­ ed, by Marion Erwin, completely deny­ ing the allegations contained in the af­ fidavits-of Mi*. Greene and Mrs. Gaynor. Regarding the interview between Greene and himself, Mr. Erwin stated that on his return to his room in the Windsor on the afternoon of May 17 he found a note there ifl which he recog­ nized the handwriting of S. B. D. Green, which note was as follows: » “If you can .call.to se;e,me at any time toTiay, you;,will‘do me a great fa­ vor.” The original of this note is ift posses­ sion of ‘ Mr.' -Envifi and was shown to Judge CarDiiv In response to that re­ quest he went' to Gfeene’s room and the latter opened the conversation by say­ ing that whifc he knew that Erwin had been prosecuting him vigorously for over two years,ho wanted td Uiank him for having always treated him with personal consideration. He then said if Ijie 'extradition proceedings at Montreal proceeded for any length of time it was probable he might desire to give bonds on forfeited, .,recognizance which he said were secured by assets put up by Gaynor and himselt with the sureties, but that if he settled the civil elaims it miist carry with it the dismissal of the ^imiSaI proceedings. I replied that I knew of no law for settling the crimi­ nal case, but that if he made restution of the government’s actual loss, I did* not know what view of leniency might be taicen by the government; I had no authority in the matter and the amocnt he offered in settlement of the govern­ ment’s, civil, claim was not sufficiently large for me" to recommend to the At­ torney General.” The other affidavits practically contain the same statement as that mentioned this week in Mr. Er­ wins reply to Mr. Taschereau’s state­ ment v ErwiiTs affidavit continued in sub­ stance: “I called his attention to the fact that ho and Gaynor had already forfeited bonds in the sum of $400,000 each. He replied that he had left the United States because he had resolved never to be put in jail as a convict; that he had come to Canada with the: expectation that after a year or two his friends in the United States would ef­ fect a settlement of the civil claims of the government against him and then he could probably obtain a dismissal o? the criminal prosecution. He said that he had not given his personal word that he would not run off from the prosecution, but he would pledge me hiswordof honor that if I would agree* to his giving bond before Judge La Fontaine he would not run off. He then referred to the fact that the govern­ ment had already tied up by civil pro­ ceedings half a million dollars of as­ sets, of what the government claimed was O. M. Carter’s share in the fraud and asked me what was the exact amount the govenrment claimcd. that he and John P. Gaynor had received as their share? I replied that we claimed that he and Gaynor had received $1,- 400,000 as their share in the fraud. He •replied that he was in no position, and had not sufficient means, to meet such a claim, but that he and Gaiynor would be willing to pay the government $300,- 000 in settlement of the entire litiga­ tion to include the $80,000 claimed on forfeited recognizances.” ilany Carpenters Strike.

KILLED BY BOILER EXPLOSION* Serious Aieeident Caused by Eexplo- sion of Engine. Washington, Special.—H. C. Carter, of. Fairfield, Hyde county* brings the news of a serious accident on Mr. C. Simmons’ farm Friday, as the result of which a hegrb was instantly killed and Simmons’ two sons barely escaped. Simmons was engaged in threshing oats on the farm and had to return home upon an errand. While away he left the engine in charge of Henry Mor­ ris, colored. From some cause the wa­ ter was 'out of the boiler but the steam showed it to be filled, though the cocks ceased to work. The negro found out the mistake too late. He attempted to fill the boiler with cold water, causing it to explode; scattering pieces over the farm. Morris was knocked over sixty yards and killed instantly. Dennis Simmons, aiding his father, was knock­ ed down and into a ditch, completely covered with wood, aud also burned badly but UOt encfagh to disfigure him. His escape is miraculolus.

The convention adopted resolutions expressive of great satisfaction a t‘the course of North Carolina’s congres­sional delegation, and particularly Sen­ ator Simmons and Congressman Pou.

St. Paiii, Special.—Tremendous damage, and it is thought great loss ef lite, were caused by a tornado which Tuesday night swept in a southwesterly direction from the boundary, across} the northeastern portion of Nortii Dakota. Three towns, according to reports, were totally wiped out Railroad and telegraph lines are wrecked and there is no communication with the section o± the State where the mo3t serious de­ vastation is thought to have been worked;The little town of Bdrup.-on the to.. Vincent Hne of the fireat Northern, is an absolute wreck. The final re­ port was that the entire town was wiped out, and hardly a structure of any sort ieit RtaMinf:. The report from Borup came in very SdOil utter the storm struck and contained no in­ formation. as to the- casualties. ^ With the report from the St. Vincent branches cam§ ItSportS that the towns of Eldorado, about seven miles from Grand- Forts and Thompson, be­tween Grand Fol'ks and Larimore, had b6efl destroyed; At Thompson the Great Northern station lifis a eon- fused mass of wreckage directly across the main line. Stores and resi­dences are in ruins and the main por­ tion of the town is wiped out. The population is about 200.Mere fraginests. of ejmflrm^tiqn come from Eldorado, but thestj indi; cate the destruction of that town of about 250 people. Neither of the re­ ports from Thompson or Eldorado speak of loss of life. This is partially accounted for by the fact that they were sen£ before news could have been received from tiiS outlying dis­ tricts. The reports indicate that tliS tornado developed southwest of the Lake of the Woods county and took a course down across, the northern portion of the State, traveling toward the southwest. Its path seems to have been ufiusually Wide and the effects of the storm outside its primSfy line unusually severe.The Northern Pacific is. unable to gain the slightest information 'over its wires from the storm district. Line­ men and relief trains have been Started from the stricken district. fiariy wa^hesdfty morning w hit is thought to have been the edge of a tornado struck St. Paul.

The occupants were not seri­ ously hurt. Betweea Lake Park an? Clen a family was reported to have been killed. Many farm buildings in the path of the storm were destroyed- and some domestic stock killed. The grain fields have suffered badly. Th? wheat was just heading and- is so luxuriant in growth that the piant is badly tangled, but it w_as estimated that much of it will straighten up. Barley and early oats were almost ripe and those crops will be a total loss wherever the storm struck. life Expelled Himself. Richmond; Special.—The General Assembly convened for the first time under the new constitution. The only feature of the session was the re­ fusal of I. P. McLean, Republican member of the House of Delegates from Mecklenburg, to take the oath' to uphold the new organfc law. When the Speaker, ■acting under a resolu­ tion, called upon the members to rise and receive the oath, Mr. McLean arose and said: “I will never take III at oatSi.

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL For North Carolina, Just before the adjournment of Congress Hon. Johii H. Small of the first district of Ntwth Carolina sub­ mitted, under the riileS of the House of Representatives, some remarks which ought to have a wide influence for the welfare of his State. The re­ marks were quite extended and were a splendid description Of tto resour­ ces of North Caroiina. With a great deal of pains CdSsreRsman Small had gathered and arranged in attractive and comprehensive form an array of facts about the climate, the people, the agriculture, the manufactures, the forest, mineral and timber resources, the fisheries arid the educational con­ ditions in the State. Circulated al- ready in the Congressional KOcorcl in all parts of the country, the speech is to be scattered broadcast in North Carolina and other States. It is really a condensed guide to the investor and homese^km*. and ought to direct great­ er attention tha£t efer to the oppor­ tunities in North CarolifiS., and to encourage the people of that State and of other States to avail them­ selves promptly of those opportuni­ ties.

Benvy Republican Gains Indicate That the People of Oregon Are More Than Ever Inclined to Support Uepuhlican Principles and Policies. The cause of sound Republicanism has received no setback in the results of the Oregon election. On the . con­ trary, it is perfectly apparent that Re­ publican principles and policies are stronger than ever 1With the people. The fact that & Democratic Governor was elected by a small plurality does not alter this conclusion. There was a bitter dissension over the Governorship inside the party. Xhe factions wera bent upon knifing each other, and the faction opposed to the regular Repub­ lican nominee made no secret of its preference for the election of the Dem- cratic candidate. But the light went no further. The Legislature is over­ whelmingly Republican, the majority on joint ballot being- the largest in the history of the State. The election of a Republican United States Senator isl thus assured. But it is in the Coiigressional dis­ tricts that the vote is most significant Ef it were true, as so many free traders and -weak-kneed Republicans have as­ serted, that there is throughout the West a feeling of dissatisfaction with the existing condition of things and a marked demand for tariff revision as a means of dealing with the trust ques­ tion, the vote of June 2 in Oregon would have shown it. The issue was well de­ fined. On the Democratic side was a demand for a complete overhauling of our economic policy, for a repeal of the Dingley tariff on the false pretense that under that law trusts have flour­ ished, and for a tariff for revenue only; In short, a straight out challenge on the tariff issue. The Republicans met the question squarely. They stood by the Dlngley tariff, they stuck to the prin­ ciple and policy of protection to Ameri­ can labor and industry, and Cm this line they stood shoulder to shoulder. No local faction quarrels were allowed to enter into the contest, so far as the leading national issue was concerned. On that issue a splendid victory was won. Prom her two Congressional dis­ tricts Oregon sends two Republican Congressmen, whose total vote and plu-_ rality are over 14,000, or about 3000 greater than the plurality of two years ago. Thus Oregon sets the pace for 1902. She is the first of the Republican States to answer the question whether our magnificent tariff system is to be turned over to the tender mercies of free trade Democrats. Her answer, more em­ phatic by 3000 votes than the answer of 1800, is that the tariff shall not be tinkered at all, and in no case shall free traders be intrusted with the job. That is tlie obvious and unmistakable mean­ ing of the big Republican gains in the State of Oregon. Had there been any such generally prevalent desire for a, ripping open of the Republican tariff' system as the free trade Democrats and hysterical Republicans would have us believe existed all over the country, seurely we should have had some sigc from Oregon. A falling off in the Re­ publican vote would have been joy­ fully pointed to as such a sign. Then indeed would the free traders and the nervous Republicans have said: “Be­ hold, Oregon! We told you so! Tariff revision on the basis of for revenue only, or, at the least, a sweeping reduc­ tion of the Dingley law rates; is imper­ atively demanded by the country as a whole, by Republicans as well as Dem­ ocrats. The lesson of Oregon is unmis­ takable. Tariff revision is the order of the day, the need of the hour.” All this and much more would now be said if Oregon had shown any defection on Republican national questions. Bntas we have said, Oregon gives large Re­ publican gains, and the lesson is pre­ cisely the reverse of what it would otherwise have been. It means that Oregon .wants the tariff let alone; wants the Republican party to “keep on letting it alone,” In the characteris­ tic wowlf of IjIUmiU The Tus of War* Obio1S Advice. As far as the tariff is concerned, to let it alone does not mean that the schedules may not be changed from time to time, or that they ought not to be changed from, time to time. But it does mean that the general principle and policy of protection is to reinaiii intact. The tariff “was restored in 1897 after experiments with its abolition had resulted most disastrously. The people were glad to get back to a sound tariff basis. The prosperity that has come, at least coincident with the restoration of the tariff, ought not to mislead the country- at the present time. Let well enough alone. There is at least enough for all to do and to eat. The advice of the Ohio Republicans is timely be­ cause a few Republicans had Been seized with an incipient panic, the re­ sult of Democratic machinations and insinuations. The-Ohio platform means to stand pat and await the outcome. Schedules way be. changed and should be changed, but not the principles ol protection iior its ptflicy and practice. —Cedar Jtapids Republican.

I ATab Mar Be a Clreat E a llm d et WHb. out SeiD^ a Great Economist. In his speech to the Illinois Manufac­ turers’ Association in Chicago on the Ith of June, Sir. James J. Hill, Presi­ dent of the Great Northern Railway Company, expressed himself as follows regarding tie practical operation of the policy of protection: “We have enjoyed all the benefits of I protective, tariff for many years, and whatever good it can do in tlie way of building, up infant industries has al­ ready been accomplished. Tha growth Jf our enormous iron and steel indus­ tries, which are pointed out as the re­ sult of our protective tariff, can Be more surely traced to our enormous re­ sources in the iron mines of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota than to all jther sources.” It would seem that the free trade m t crob? has not been wholly driven out of Mr. Hill's system. It was in great measure dislodged by the events of 1893-97. Prior to that time he was a Democrat and a free trader. The ex­ periences of the second Cleveland re­ gime opened his eyes, and he is under­ stood to have supported McKinlej both In 1898 and 1900. In 1S93 Mr. Hill found it necessary to put In force a sweeping reduction in wages through­ out the Great Northern system, and it was not until after McKinley’s inau­ guration, in 1897, that the former rate Df wages was restored. Onr enormous resources in the iron mines of Michi­ gan, Wisconsin and Minnesota did not prevent Mr. Hill from cutting wages, nor did they enable him to restore wages until after a protective tariff regime had been installed. Protection treated the iron and steel industries of the United States by securing to them a sure market and defending^liem against injurious foreign comifetition. The iron mines, of Michigan, Wiscon­ sin and Minnesota would have lain dormant for another fifty years if Great Britain had been permitted to continue her monopoly of supplying the United States with iron and steel pro­ ducts. Iron and steel mines do not open or develop themselves. They await a demand. Protection created and still maintains that demand. In saying that protection has done all it ain do in building up infant in­ dustries, Mr. Hill seems to suggest the conclusion that in his opinion the time has arrived when we can profitably abandon protection and open onr doors to unrestricted foreign competition. We do not believe that he would welcome free trade. As an investor in great railroad properties no ihan is niore de­ pendent than he. is upon a condition of general prosperify. No man knows bet­ ter than he that we cannot have free trade and prosperity at tho same time. Mr. Hill knows a great many things and knows them extremely Troll. He knows too much to be a free trader. WHAT OF THE WACh EARNER? A Question TVIneli Free Traders Fci-SiSt- enlly Overlook. The plea of the free traders is that the necessity for protecting our indus­ tries has passed away. They claim that our industries have passed their “infancy,” and ai-e now lusty enough to stand alone. They point out that the enormous trusts or consolidations are able to meet the world in any market on even terms, and that it is wicked to tax the people in order to give them larger profits. And no justice loving citizen could deny such a charge if the conditions were as the free traders state them. In the first place the free traders are mistaken in their claim that the Indus­ tries of America have. been absorbed by the trusts. There is no industry engaged in by any tariff protected trust which is monopolized by that trust. To-day, for example, more steel is being manufactured by the many small and independent companies thaij by the big trust. It is as necessary to protect these small concerns as It ever was—necessary not only as a means of keeping them alive, but also as a means of continuing the better pay which American workmen receive in every protected industry. This is a jhase of the question which the free traders sel­ dom take into consideration. They are free enough with talk and opinions, as to the effect of free trade ion the trusts and on prices, but they dodge the ques­ tion of what is to become of the Amer­ ican workingman when he is put into direct competition with his underpaid European fellow. It is certain that one of two. conditions will existi we must preserve the markets of America for American-made goods at prices which enable the manufacturers to pay good wages, or we -must force these mamn facturers, through opening the door to foreign competition, to put the wages down to the European standard. We can think of nothing more unpleasant to contemplate than such a fall in the pay of American labor. And-we can think of nothing more disinterested, and, at the same time, more suicidal, than a laboring man voting to over­ throw the policy of protection.—Kansas City Journal. , ' Kot StncH Campttica Capital* The American people want none of \he policies of populism nor will they countenance any fire-in-the-rear efforts against American soldiers. So far as the issues to be hiade of the tariff and trusts, with the great benefits accruing from the protective tariff system prose­ cuting the trusts which are operating In spite of a Republican anti-trust law, there does not appear to be much cam­ paign capital oflfcred here either for Democratic solace. — Galesburg (IlL) Mail. - The Inm an Body.

SOUTHERN FARJW NOTES. Topics of Interest to the Planter; Stock­ man and Truck Grower. The South and Life Stock4 ' W. C. SwQpe, of Oourtland, Ala., lives just forty miles below the quar­ antine lines. He believes that a great future is before the. South as a live stock country, but he shares opposite views of many cattlemen who consider the danger of Southern fever as a great handicap. Speaking on this point he says: “If the cattle are handled rightly, the danger can be reduced to a mini­ mum, but the moment the breeder of the exposition management gets a little careless his herd is gone. I have had only one death among my Northern cattle in the past two years, a'M now see that I could easily have, avoided that. The cas.e was that of olie of my joung bulls, which I served to a grade cow. She was ticky, which did not of itself mean that the bull would catch the fever, but I carelessly de­ ferred spraying the animal with disin­ fectants until too late. “There is a general impression among Northern cattlemen that the best thing to do with their cattle when the stock is shipped below the quarantine line or otherwise exposed to Southern fever, is to inoculate them. For my own part I. am not in favor of inoculation. It may be effective in the long run, but a cow or bull that-has been inoculated remains in a poor, half-sick condition for four or five months after inocula­ tion. Thus the breeder loses so much valuable time. “The way I handle my cattle is to spray them with disinfectants, and I have always found this works admir­ ably, especially so when I keep my breeding stock in fenced pastures and do not allow It to mingle with the wild native cattle. I have constructed a corral or series o ?chutes into which I can drive the pure breds from time to time and give them a goad spraying. Such a course 6f procedure, combined With common sense management, ren­ ders Herefords as safe in the South as In the North. “The crying need of my State as well as the whole South is better cattle. The people have at last come to reali­ zation of this, I think, and the future will see rapid strides made In the im­ proved quality of our range and feed lot stock. The ever present Jersey is a too common class of cattle down my way. We have a few Durhams, but not enough to begin to fill the needs of the country. It is a good territory fed1 the Northern breeders to work up, and I think they wiil find it as satisfac­ tory an investment as their deals in the Southwest. “Two years ago I bought five heifers and one bull from Missouri breeders, giving over 32000 for the animals. With the single exception mentioned above they have done remarkably well. I have crossed my bull with native grade Durhams, and this spring ex­ pect fifty calves, which I will raise and fatten for the markets. “Alabama offers' plenty of induce­ ments to cattlemen. We have no hard winters, and never worry whether there Is a bounteous corn crop or not, realizing that the cattle will carry over just as well on hay. .My heifers will average well with any of the stoek of­ fered in the ordinary Dresent sale, ret their only feed all winter has been fifteen pounds of hay each day. “We have the land and the where­ withal to handle Herefords and other fine cattle; all that is ijeeded is a little prodding of our stockmen and my State will soon take a much higher rank In the bloode.d stoek raising business.” Experiment TVith Upland Bice. In 1900 I planted one pound on land that would have made fifteen bushels of corn per acre, writes W. D. Osborn of Logpit, Ala., In Home and Farm, and I harvested five and one-half bush­ els of clean, rough rice; shipped 115 pounds to a rice mill and had it cleaned and received back seventy pounds of clean rice, pronounced by one of our merchants in Alexander City, AIa., to be as good as any that they sold. There were two grades—cracked and uncracked. I am satisfied that I made at the rate of sixty or seventy bushels per acre. I also had some of the rough rice ground on a grist mill and fed to my cow. I find it as good as corn- meal. I notice iu a bulletin from the South Carolina Experiment Station on the feeding of rice meal to hogs they find that rice meal is as good as coi'ii- rneal or better. It is easily grown. Plant after danger of frost in drills like sorghum, two or three foot rows, and cultivate two or three times and you are sure of a good crop. AU stock love it. Cut iu the dough state it makes an excellent hay. Last, yeai1 I ^planted a small patch and harvested Several bushels, but I didn't consider it a good yield. It grows from three to five1 feet high, and when it began to head the heads would curl up like they had been cut off. Has any other read­ er had a similar experience? I would like to hear ft.-om them as to what was the matter-and ths ;emedy. Brotluti- farmers, wake un and plant two or three acres of that land you in­ tend to plant in cotton in upland rice .and fill your barn with some of the best feedstuff that you have ever fed. I filled my barn last fall with rice hay, millet and pea vine hay, as fine as ever grew, and have fed my mules and cows nothing much but this hay this winter, and have plenty to carry me through. I also make as much corn and cotton as.any other man to the mule. Plenty of hay and corn and cattle to consume i t 'S the secret of success in farming. Sbeep Made Bigr Cotton. A correspondent of Farm and Ranch says: “One of the most difficult prob­ lems with which Southern farmers have had to wrestle is that of proper fertilizing for cotton. On black landa with alternate plots fertilized and un­ fertilized, the unfertilized have usually given the best results. Oh sandy loams heavy applications of nitroge­ nous manures have given too much 'weed’ without a corresponding yield of lint and seed, and yet on our river bottom- lands, rich in humus, the cot- ton iilant freouent ]-1 gtflwa eight to nine feet high, and yields front 750 to 1000 pounds of lint cotton per acre. Here we have a heavy yield with enor* mous weed, proving that heavy yield and great growth of 'weed1 are not in. compatible, but tinder proper condi­ tions of soli and good cultivation the ‘weedy’ growth is heoessary to a large yield of cotton. The writer had seven acres of sandy loam .that had been a sheep pen, or series of pens. For twelve years this ground was planted alternately with cotton and com. The first year the cotton was left oighteen inches apart in four-foot rows. The re­ sult was an impenetrable thicket and not 500 pounds of seed cotton on the seven, acres. Afterward it was Planted in six-foot rows and thinned to four feat, and the average yield'of five years (covering a period of twelve years) was 515 pounds of lint, and not a pound of additional fertilizer was used. The same land also averaged forty-two bushels of com for the six alternate years. There is something more in this matter of fertilization for cotton than the character and quantity of the fertilizer. In one respect cotton differs from most staple crops, because the more fertile the soil, the greater distance the plants must have. It is the reverse in the case of corn.

No. 11—Cottonseed hulls 20 pounds, cottonseed meal 4 .pounds and wheat bran 5 pounds. Cotton and Cattlo. Where cotton is raised abundantly should be a good place to feed cattle. Yet in most of the cotton States few cattle are fed. The reason is that in these sections not enough attention has been paid to live stock feed to under­ stand it. In all the Gbif States there is good pasture and plenty of water, which makes it an ideal country In which to raise live stock. In Alabama for instance, some cattle are raised, but they are chiefly scrubs and bring poor prices. The people have yet to be educated that there is money in pro­ ducing and feeding good cattle, and nothing iu raising knotheads. Best Varieties of Oniosfl. Onions are not grown in the South to anything like the extent they are In the North and West, but some of our growers are growing them very suc­ cessfully. The varieties best adapted to the South are the Bermudas, Extra Early White Pearl, and the potato on­ ions, although the standard varieties of othgr sorts also succeed and do very well. OONTEftDINQ FOS A PRINCIPLE Good Example of Quibbles That Prevail In, Legral Practio a. An English writer gives a good ex­ ample of those quibbles in legal prac­ tice that have £ sort of fascination for certain minds. Some years ago, while traveling on the continent, he met the principal lawyer for -the government of one of the principalities, who told him of a curious legal question. It had reference to a railway station at the boundary between two principali­ ties. Someone standing outside the win­ dow of the ticket office had put his hand through and robbed the till in­ side. The boundary line lay between where the thief stood and the till, so that he was actually in one territory while the crime was committed in an­ other. Here was a nice nut for the gentlemen learned in the law to crack. Which of the principalities should un­ dertake the prosecution of the crimi­ nal? At it they went In good earnest, and tne arguments on either side were long and vehement, till the. whole case was embalmed in many volumes. At last one side yielded so far as to.say: “We wiil permit you, as an act of courtesy, to prosecute, while at the same time reserving all our sovereign rights.” At this point of the recital I asked, “And how did the prosecution end?" “Ah! That is quite another mat­ ter,” said my friend. “There was no prosecution; we were only arranging what ws should do when we caught the robber; but we never caught him.” —Youth’s Companion. At a recent press banquet in Eng* land, Mr. Asquith,, M. P., said in his speech that nearly every member of the i \sent British Cabinet, from the Premier down, worked for the news* 'papers one time or another. As a mat* ter of fact the leading statesmen of England, France and the TJnited States have received a newspaper training, and in England Salisbury, Gladstone, Beaconsfield, Earl Derby and other Prime Ministers wfcre In their day regular contributors to the press.

The Bryan Democrats of New York in their platform also favored the initiative and referendum, which was endorsed at Kansas Ci­ ty under the name of “direct leg­ islation.” Mr. Bryan, who is the only-lead­ er of the regular Demorracy with more than local iufliier.ee or fol lowing, is a firm believer in this policy, which is subversive of the most valuable feature of onr sys­ tem ol'government. Ofconrse it is in the very teeth of the c mstith- tiou, which was wisely adopted to protect the country from the" pas-- sions of the hour. If the people cannot be depeuded on to select good representatives, how can it be hoped that they will do better in proposing or deciding as to what laws weshall have ? A few weeks ago the people of Oourecticnt were called on to vote for or against a new constitution, which a convention of their own choosing had been months in fram­ ing. Important as lhis was, only 15 per cent of the voters went to the polls. Of course under the in­ itiative and referendum, predju- dice would rule, and thepoliticiaus of low degree weuhl have such laws adopted as would be d suit their selfish purposes. HERK IS ANOTHER LIVtNO ISSUE. Here isauother living, issue on which Gov. Hill says that. Demo­ crats are united, and as to this, lie and Col, Bryan are agreed. They are in favor of allowing the Phiip- pine Islands to secede and to set up an independent government. I had my eyes opened as to secession years ago as clearly as they have beon later with refeieuee to the matter of money. I believe in a Union “otic aud indivisible—now and forever,” and am no more in favor of allowing the Philippines or Hawaii or Puerto Rico to kick loose from the UnitedStates than I would approve the withdiawal of South Curoliua or Massachu­ setts or New Mexico or Arizona or Alaska. If our institutions . are good enough for Kentucky, certainly the Philippine Archipelago etui stand them. I will vote for no niau who pro­ poses to surrender an inch of American soil. Onr island pos­ sessions are invaluable to us, and Dewey was right when he told Senator Beveridge that he believed that God had directed him in sail­ ing into JIanilla bay on that May morning four years ago. Manilla is to be the great sample room aud market place for our surplus prod­ ucts, designed for Asiatic, consurap tiou. Why should our farmers toil and onr manufacturers spend their energies and capital in pro­ viding euormous supplies for for­ eign consumption if there are to be no buyers ? England, Germany, France and Russia have-depots or bases of supplies on the Chinese coast, and would have us absolute­ ly fenced out of the Asiatic trade if we did not have the Philippines. Liverpool is the great eutrepot of of Europe. Our surplus cotton, beef, pork, wool, wheat and corn are shipped there for distribution' over Great Britian and the continent, and ev­ en as far as Northern Africa Wes­ tern Asia. Manila will be the Iiv- erpool of the Orient, and belongs to us, and will be invaluable in the trade movements of the future. There are S00,000,000 people—one half the population of the globe— whom we will reach directly or in­ directly through our control of the Philippines, and yet the so-called Democraticparty of Kansas City declared in favor of letting them go, and its Representatives.in Con­ gress, during the session just elos. ed, repeated the folly—ought I not rather say, ,crime! And why! For no comprehensible reason save to oppose what the Republican Ad­ ministration favors. . Through the same peanut idea of politics we lost Cuba, which will be of such strategic importance when the Ijstbmian canal is com strueted. Can anybody name any­ thing practical or patriotic of which the Democratic party is pe- vnliany the champion I j It say, it is against tru-ts, but what specific measure to bridle or destroy them have any of its lead­ ers proposed I The only practical law we have against them was in­ troduced into a Republican Con­ gress by a Republican leader and is being vigorously enforced by a Republican President. They say they are against pro­ tective tariff, but the geutlemeu who are now proposing to lead the party are the ones who thwarti d tariff reform in theFifty-third Con­ gress, when Senate, Honse and President were Democratic. No donbt Mayor Head, of Nashville, who the member of the Democrat­ ic National Coimnitteee from Ten­ nessee, had this in mind when in a recent interview he said: “while I am very much in favor or Democratic harmony, I am equally anxious to secure a Demo­ cratic victory which will not be barren of results, as some of our so-called Democratic victories have. rbeen in the past.” Clevelau I was viciously opposed and the force of his administra­ tion destroyed because he would not support free silver by the very gentlemen who are now side track­ ing this question until they can find a more propitious accasion for bringing it to the front agaiu.

The live stock business is better this year in the IVest than for 20 years, cattle prospects here were never so good as now—beef steers in Chicago, Omaha and Kansas City “over markets” is selling now gross weight from°$G.50 to §8.00 per hundred weight. It don’t re­ quire a choice steer at all to net us §50.00 and many sell for §75. These high prices are only due to a great, shortage In cattle, statis­ tics tell us there is more than 900,- 000 shortage in cattle since last year aud onr export trade is grow­ ing daily, this will, we fignrekeep cattle high for years. The prices of horses has stiffeur ed hpre more than 50 per cent, the past three years, partly due to the different wars, part to so much railroad work in the West and a great due to the horses being better bred. I have sold several at home this year for $100 per head, but this money buys a .very choice horse here.—Mascot, Dem. In glancing over thaJIascot, one of our Exchanges, we ran across a letter by H.

Right recently much has beeu said about the beef trust, and it may be that they deserve some criticisms bnt how can the butch­ ers pay S CtL per pound on foot foi cattle and sell it at the same price they'did when they paid 4 and 5 cts. per pound. Mr. Hall shows every unbiased person that the stock-men are doing well and that the trust is makiug money for every man who has a beef for sale, but because.those who have stock don’t give it to those who have none, our Democratic friends raise a wail against the trusts. We used to handle cattle under Mr. Gleve land’s administration, and wehave sold good beeves for less than 2cts per pound. The farmer in this State who has a good fat cow can get 3 or 4 cts, and if he had it in Kansas City or Chicago he might get 6 or 8 cents per pound. The country is prosperous," and while the farmers who have made fail­ ures iD their crops are hard up hereabouts, is no reason or argu­ ment against the great general pros­ perity all over this country, ’and the Demagogues can’t fool all the people either.

A BLOODY AND TERRiFiC COMBAT Both rUn Put Up a Fair and VigoroBS Battle For UieChampionsaiB--Both .Satisfied. I Ring-side, San Francisco, Special-,— After fighting a battle ol eight HJunds that was fraught with brilliant and ^courageous work, Robert Fitzsiuitoons Friday night night forfeited his last claim upon the heavy weight cham­ pionship. He Svas knocked to the floor by James Jeifries and counted out after ho had so badly punished the fchtmpfon that it was a foregone conclusion among the spectators that the Cornish- 'vIaa must win. Bleeding frotn a num- ot gashes in the face, apparently •<.vakening, and clearly unable to cope with Fitasimmons' superior aftiil, Jeff­ ries delivered two Iuoky punches as Fitzsimmons pAUSed in his fighting to speak to him, and turned the tide. The battle was brief, but noteworthy, and will live in pugilistic history. FitZ3im-* mors tried once to rise from the mat, but sat down again in helplessness and heard himself counted out, Where but a moment before Ue bad a parent Iy all the better of it. • “I will neYer fight again,” said the battle-scarred veteran of the ring when he had sufficiently recovered to talk, 14The fight was won fairly and to the best man belongs the laurels,” ‘"You are the most dangerous matt alive,” said Jeffries, Iu returfc. ltUhd I consider myself lucky to have won when I did.” , Jeffries added: “I know Fitz had a Cutting punch and would land it some time In the fight. He is certainty a wonder. He is the greatest fighteb at Iiis weight that ever lived*. As old as he is, he is the shiftieat and cleverest, the hardest-hitting toan I ever met and I want to give him credit, as I know all who saw it Will, for the great fight he put up. I have no plans for the !im­ mediate future.” Fitz said later that the blO\v§ that put him out were a left shdrt arm jolt under the ribs and a right to the jaw. He added: “I fought in the wa£' I did because my hands were gone when I Cntoi-Cd the ring*. I iJijured them on Wednesday boxing with Hank Griffin. My right hand in particular was almost useless, I am confident now, eveft m$rfc so than ever, that in m>v battle with Jeffries I was doped,-' Dr. L. a Coxv who h&s been summon­ ed to attend the fighter, made an exam­ ination of the defeated pugilist. He an­ nounced that FitsV ribs were not broken, but that his left side was badly bruised, the muscles being Sb constrict­ ed as to cause tly> Cornishman great diffionlcy in breathing. Fitzsimmons had been fighting at a furious gait, cool and deliberate, and chopping the champion to pieces with the terrific rights and lefts that have inade him fanrius. It was the draught horse and the racer from the tap of the gong. When the men came to­ gether Fitz. appeared rather worried, but upon the-opening of the Ai-St round he assumed a confidence and fought with the deliberation of the general that be is. As early as the. second round Fits, had Jeffries bleeding pro 1 fusely from mouth and nose. Again and again he landed oh big bulky op­ ponent, getting away in such a clever manner that brought down the house with cheer-s. It seemed indeed that Jeffries could scarcely weather the gale. In the eighth round the end came and under a series of hot exchan­ ges FUz. paused with his guard down and spoke to the champion. Tho latter’s reply consisted of the two terrific blows that brought back to him the fleeing championship and forever removed the veteran Fitz. from the fistic arena. Fitz. took his defeat with amazing good cheer. He walked to tee centre of the ring and raising bis hand addressed the multitude, saying: “The best man has won. Had I beaten Joffries tonight I would have conceded him the cham- JYionshin and retired forever. I retire Just the same now, but without having « i I am sat- EXPLOSION AT HOTEL.

"In 1002 it is aimed at Plorpoht Morgan. It did not hit Cariiegie iii 1892, but it hit nearly everybody else. It may hot hit Mbrgan in 1902, but it may hit nearly every one else.

It is a cute piece of politics that the Democrats or mugwumps are playing in Iowa, rock-ribbed Reptibiicaa State as she is. If a “tariff reform” plank can be put into the Itepublican plat­ form of Iowa it will be a great victory for mugwumpism. Iowa has the speaker of the House, the leader of the Senate and two members of the Cabinet. A voice from Iowa would sound like the voice of authority com­ ing directly from the administration. The Republicans of Iowa might well stop and think and also analyze the source from which emanates the at­ tempt to put a tariff reform plank- into the Iowa Republican platform, a plank that might he measurably right in itself, but one^ that would be con­ strued as a letting down of old time principles and be regarded away from home as-giving aid and comfort to the enemy, I Remember the ides Cf *92,—Des : Moines Capital. ^ A Favorably Fofecasti Tu'jhihg t'o political conditions, ^vhicii it must be remembered in the light of experieiiee are bloseijr related to bnsi- hes§ prosperity; tlie forecast, iii that 'direction is also favorable; Tlis elec- tioh 'of ail opposition House next fall Wbuld be obstructive to’ national leg­ islation after March 4 next, but the strong probability is that the present control of dll branches of the Govern- theht Avill be unchanged for a long time.

R- TOWNSEND, PHOP R- T a r i f f a n d T r n s t I s s n o - In respect to a revival of the tariff issue it may be assumed that the American people know a good thing when they have it in hand. They will not soon forget the paralysis of Amer­ ican industries caused by the tariff the Democrats formulated when they last had the opportunity. It required some years, oven after the Cleveland- Wilson tariff was abolished, for the country’s industries to rally from its blighting effects. But gradually, under the revivifying influence of a Republi­ can tariff, normal conditions were re­ stored, and as a consequence we to­ day see the era of greatest prosperity ever enjoyed by the American people. It is equivalent to an intimation that the people have “gone daft” to assume that they would be willing to exchange present tariff conditions for the para- j IjfZing system that wrought disaster before. So far as the trust issue is concerned, it would be a lucky thought but for one fundamental drawback. That is­ sue was promptly pre-empted by the Republican party at a time when tlie Democrats spurned it. The anti-trust measure, known as the Sherman Act, was passed by a Republican Congress, was totally ignored by a subsequent Democratic administration, and now it is being vigorously enforced by the Roosevelt administration.—Los Angeles Herald.

Bank deposits in the United States have increased over $700,000,000 in the last five years.

Professor Baker, in a paper on good roads, says: “I believe that the roads in the ccvn belt of Illinois are among the best in the country, and that with a littic in­ telligent care they can be made on the whole second to none. The earth roads iu the prairie portion of Illinois are usually excellent eight, some years ten, months of the twelve, and are reason­ ably good for ten or twelve months of the year, but there are times iu the spring when the frost is going out of the ground that they are practically inr passable for loads. However, through the underdrainage of the soil*by tile and through a better care of the sur­ face, the period of impassability is com­ paratively short. There has been a very great improvement in these direc­ tions in recent years, but there is still room for discriminating improvement.” This short paragraph explains the pe­ culiarity of she author’s views. He considers a road reasonably good even if it is practically impassable for loads when the frost is .going out of the ground; while people who want roads that are firm and hard all the year around, without clouds of dust in dry weather and without mud in wet weather, consider such a road unreas­ onably bad for a district that can af­ ford, something better. At tho begin­ ning of the twentieth century the ques­ tion at issue is oue of comfort as well as one of ton-mllo costs. The farmer's horse and cart and load of hay have bo?n in the glare of the footlights long enough to glcte-stcp Cor a time and let us hear from his wife and children. Tiiey may like to see their neighbors or go to school when tho roads arc impas­ sable; they may like to keep clean when they drive or walk about, and they may wish to live like hitman be­ ings instead of caged animals. It is not a matter of brokc-n Ktono or gravel at all; it is not n matier of money alone, but one of comfort as well.— New Ycrk Tribune Farmer. T l i c H i l l e n n i t t T n i n S i g h t . If even a very small proportion of the plans oit the recently held New York State Good Roads Convention be­ come realities, the milennium of mac­ adam will certainly have dawned. For less than six cents added to each $1000 of taxation the State could secure 1200 miles of improved macadam roads, aud in seventeen years would have entirely paid for them. Doug before that, how­ ever, the increased value of all proper­ ty in the State, brought about by such a practical solution of the traffic prob­ lem. would have paid for the improve­ ment several times over. Viewed from an automobiiist’s point of view the en­ tire plan Is so self-evidently a wise one that it seems impossible of failure. Unfortunately, however, intelligent ahd progressive citizens like the nutomo- biiists do not have much to say regard­ ing the.legislation of this or any other State.

We call attention to an article on the editorial page written by W. JI. BeeJtner of Kentucky. As our space is limited, we could not give the whole letter, it will appear later. Mr, Beckner used to be a Democrat, and his arraignment of the Democratic party, and his rea­ sons tor not supportir g its candi­ dates is a strong appeal to the thinking people of the South.

Lee 'Wilmoth, Top of Al­ leghany, JVest Va, writes: I have used Ramon’s Liver Pills and Ton­ ic Pelietsfor the past five years in our family. Idonot hesitate to say that they are the best. They are mild in action, splendid in ef­ fect, besides being pleasant to take and requiring one only at a dose. Io all who are unable to pay large doctor's bills I would say, always keep a box of Qainon’s Liver Pills in the house to use in case of ne- | cessity. In the Winston Journal we notice an account of the as­ sault on Mrs, Bogan Cash by one Smith, near Smith Grove, in ■ which it is asserted that the whiskey men are shield­ ing Smith fiom arrest. This is, we understand entirely unfounded and does the whiskey men of that section of Davie County a grave injustice. From what we can learn, there was really no assault made on Mrs. Cash, but Smith was under the influence of whiskey and used insulting language which re­ sulted in his getting pretty badly knocked out. It’s bad enough, and there is no necessity for lug­ ging in ontside parties. The whis­ key men are not always the worse men in the community, aud should not bo charged with acts with which they have nothing to do.

JYe published a notice of a pro traded meeting at- Center Church Aug. 8th and inadvertently failed to say that it would be conducted by Itev. Mr. Cinmpler. Mr. Jack DwigginB requested us to make the announcement. He did not tell us that the meeting would be held in the inethodist Church at that place,, and we have no right to presume that Mr. Dwigginsintended to con­ vey the idea that it would bo the regular meeting held by the pastor Rev. JY, C. JVillson. Ifauywrong impressions have grown out of it, tlic Editor is possibly to blame in not using Mr. Crnmpler’s name. Mr. JVillson says there will be no protracted meeting at Center Church at that time; we are in­ formed that there will be one in the vicinity of Center, held under a tent, Aug. 6th at night.
