Dear-Sir:—Permit- me to- call your careful attention to the enclosed letter in regard to the second hun dred thousand dollars for a four- months public school term. This is a serious situation and demands prompt and courageous action. In the name of the children, and for the sake of the people’s schools, I urge yon to write oi telegraph your liepresentatives in the legislature at Ouce1Calliug their attention to the importance of making provi sion for th e pay meu t of this nioney. Yours ti-uly. J- Y. JOYJvKK. Superintendent Pub., Iiistuction. The above letter from Prof. Joyner was received a few days ago by us. It come as a great surprise and shows conclusively where we are at. In 1900 the people were told to vote for the Amendment and that the Demo ■ cratie party would educate the poor boys before 1908 so that they would not be disfranchised by the educational clause.' 2Tow here we are with only five years ahead of us and the money to educate the poor boys is not iu sight, and the Democratic Superintendent is call ing on ia- Eepiiblican in Davie to ap peal by telegraph or otherwise .to an almost unanimously Democratic legislature to come to his releif. Ye gods what a spectacle , how the mighty have fallen. Yet the poor boys are growing up in ig norance in the face of Democratic promises to the contrary. The GEEAT educational Govenor Ay- cock has crawled in his hole since the election, and his voiee is no longer heard in the land in behalf of education, and the rest of t-iie state officers whc swung around the circle in 1902 at educational rallys are too busy at Baleigh to look alter their promises and pledges. The four months school is “busted” , Democracy has de-' faulted, and the ppor whice boys of the state are slowly but snrely marching on to (90S and to a sure and ccrtain disfranchisment. Tis sad bnt true, and the dear people can only blame themselves, for listeningatand Lelievir.g the of ten made but to be broken promis es of the Democratic demogogues Mr. Uorrison Speaks. Mt. Cameron Morrison said he appeared as the paid attorney of the distillers in his county.' IIe was not present, to say that the whiskey business is right from every standpoint. He thought every community should have the regulation of these matters lor themselves. To incorporate chur ches and school houses does not require the legislature acting as guardian to the comunities every where. Porhibition; practically, as would result by the passage oi these bills, would throw our state politics into a bad state, and af fect many communities in it. He said it was not the manu facture of whiskey in the country, but the sale of it there is 'what causes the trouble. The majority •of the whiskey rntn are Democrats, and not BepubTlcacs, as has been ,intimated. They are most of them good loyal Democrats.—Post. There were large delegations here this evening, before the joint Senate and House committee upon propositions anil grievances, from Iredell county for and against the Watts bill, regulating the sale and niannfacture of liquor in the State, Mr. Hoffnlau, of Statesville, pres ented a long petition asking that the provisions of-the law be sub-' mitted to a vote of the people Speeches were made by Cameron Morrison iu behalf of the distil lers and by Webb, of Statesville, in favor of submitting to a vote of ■t.he people as .petitioned. Mr. Hartness, the Democratic county chairman of Iredell, made a long speech in support' of the Watts bill, JMirtly on the grounds that it <vould.be salvation of the party to abolish the distilleries in Iredell. Another hearing will be had here to-morrow and on Wednesday. and Thursday of next Week the com mittee will give a hearing to alii he parties icterosiadi--Observe: LEGISLATURE. ' North Carolina’s great Demo cratic legislature is wrestling with- the question of where and when it’s citizens should manutacture the ardent. And if they sue ceed with some of the bills before the legislature will abolish it’s manufacture and sale only in the towns. If it is wrong to 'manu facture and sell it in the country, it’s equally wrong in the towns. But this is more of a pnliti<*a.l question with ' Democracy ^fcan moral, and so we may lo§s jlIor plenty of politics to be pla$fr. The next step we look for from the wise Solcns, who are dictated to by bosses Simmons and Aycock, is to pei-scribe the size and fre quency of a drink, and where and when it shall be taken and who shall take it. The town man will be given the preference of course, for the towns are Demoerauys strong holds. The right, of the people to vote upou a question of the destruction aud confiscation of their property is denied by the oligarchs at Baleigh. it’s good the people have a chance at them next year. Question. The Watt's bill has passed both branches of the. Legislature and ihe white ribbons have. in a mea sure scored a. victory. Madam Bumor has it that the Republicans will score the next. Question? —Winston Journal.. The question is, that step by step the Demoeartic machine is trampling upon the rights and liberties of the people, destroying local self-government overriding the will of the people, and forcing an antorcratic machine power up on the people, regardless ot their wishes or desires. We are much mistaken in the Masses iu this state if they much longer take all, and submit to this Oligarchy. Down with the! pol luters of the temple of Justice. If the Watt’s bill will aid in secure- ing Democratic defeat, them truly is it a, blessing in disguise. uThe mills of the gods grind slowly, but exceedingly fine.” Andthewheels are begining to turn, and the re sult will be awaited anxiously with the hope that justice and right .will prevail* YAu cannot IegisIate temperance and morality into a people. - ClWlHMli Hardware Comp’ny -WHOLESALE AND RETAIL Hardware, Parming Implements, Stoves.

Misfortunes cf Ilie People of Ilie Island Enumerated. SUBJECT OF A MESSAGE TO SENATE Congress Urged to OivJ Immediate Attention to the M atter and Grant the Relief Prayed For. Washington, Special.—The President late has sent the following message to the. Senate: “I have just received a cahle from Governor Taft which runs as follows: Necessity for passage of the House tariff bill is most urgent. The condi tions of productive industry and busi ness are considerably worse than in November, the date of last report, and are growing worse each month. There is some revival in sugar and tobacco prices due to expectation of tariff law. The interests of Filipinos in sugar and tobacco is extensive and the failure of the bill will be a blow in face of those interests. A number of tobacco fac tories will have to close, and many sugar haciendas will be put up for sale at a sacrifice if the bill does not pass. Customs receipts have fallen off this month one-third, showing a decrease of purchasing power of the isl ands. General business is stagnant. AU political parties including labor un ions are most strenuous in petition for the tariff bill. The effect of its failure would be very discouraging/’ The President endorsed all that Gov ernor Tnft has said, and hopes for a substantial reduction in the tariff levied against Philippines goods coming into the United States. ♦•I very earnestly ask that this mat ter receive the immediate attention of Congress and that the relief prayed for be granted," he says. “As Congress knows, a series of calamities have be fallen the Philippine people. Just as they were emerging from years of a devastating war. with the accompany ing destruction of properly and break ing up of the bonds of social order and the habits of peaceful industry, there occurred an epidemic of rinderpest which destroyed 90 per cent, of the Caracus, the Filipino cattle, leaving the*people ,without draft animals to till the lands, or to aid in the ordinary work on the farm. At the same time a peculiar Oriental horse disease became epidemic further crippling transporta tion. The rice crop, already reduced by various causes to but a fourth of its ordinary size, has been damaged by lo custs, so that the price of rice has nearly doubled. “Under these circumstances, there is imminent danger of famine in the isl ands. Congress is in course of gener ously appropriating $3,000,000 to meet the immediate needs; but the indus- pensable and pre-eminent need is the resurrection of productive industry from the prostration into which it has been thrown by the causes above enumerated. I ask action in the tariff matter, not merely from the standpoint of wise governmental policy, but as a measure of humanity in response to an appeal to which this great people should not close its ears. We have as sumed responsibility towards the Phil ippine Islands which we are in honor bound to fulfill. We have the specific duty of taking every measure in our power to see to their prosperity. * * * The calamities which have befallen them as above enumerated could have been averted by no human wisdom. They cannot be completely repaired; but the suffering can be greatly alevi- ated and a permanent basis of future prosperity assured if the economic re lations of the islands with the United States are put upon a satisfactory basis.

Atlanta, Special.—The Southern Ice Exchange, in convention here Friday, elected the following officers for the ensuing term: President W. H. Howe, of Nashville, Tenn.; vice president, C. D.

Suit Against Vanderbilt. Asheville, N. C., Special.—Complaint In the case of M, C. Graham against G. W. Vanderbilt was filed in the clerk’s office of the Superior Court. Mrs. Graham is suing the owner of Biltmore House for $20,000 because of the death of her husband in October, 1900, while in the employ Of Vander bilt. Graham was crossing the French Ib*bad river in a boat, which, it is claimed, was defective. The boat was attached by a sort of trolley to an overhead, cable and owing to the swol len condition of the river the boat be came unmanageable and filled with water and Graham was drowned. BISHOP GETS FIVE YEARS. Slayer of Thomas W ilson Sentenced to the Penitentiary. Charlotte,-N. C., Special—Judge Neal Monday morning sentenced Arthur L. Bishop to the penitentiary at hard la bor for five years for killing Thomas Wilson at the latter's home ih this city last October. Court convened at 8 a. m., In order to allow Judge Neal to leave on the 9 o’clock train for Wentworth to open Rockingham court. Bishop came into the room in charge of Sheriff Wallace and accompanied by his wife. He took a seat at his usual place, surrounded by his at torneys, Col. H. C. Jones, Mr. -T1 C. Guthrie and Mr. C. W. Tillett. The prisoner appeared nervous and was not talkative, saying only a few words to his wife during the fen or fifteen minutes before the proceedings be gan He passed the time eating a lem on or biting his finger. Across from the prisoner and his counsel were Solicitor J. L. Webb and the attorneys for the prosecution,' Messrs. E. T. Cansler and T. I.. Kirkpatrick. When court had been declared open Clerk Russell read the verdict of the jury, and Mr. Cansler prayed judg ment. Mr. Tillett then went through the form of asking for a new trial, apd made a strong- and eloquent plea for mercy for the prisoner. “There is noth ing left for us,” said he, “but a plqa for mercy. I beg your honor to re member that from the time he was 12 years old Bishop has been an indus trious and hard-working man, and he has proved a good character. I do not think I exaggerate when I say that the city of Petersburg, his home, ap peals to your honor in his favor. I beg your honor to remember his father and mother and his "wife and child. We have here a paper signed by ten mem bers of the jury, recommending mercy. Another Juiyman has signified his willingness to have his name attached to this request, making eleven in all. They do not sign this recommendation as a jury, but as individuals who have heard ail the proceedings of the trial. They join us in asking that your honor be merciful to the prisoner. We ask you to remember that a year In the penitentiary is almost an age. We beg the mercy of the court.”Col. Jones said he could not trust himself to add anything to Mr. Tillett’s beautiful appeal, but he wished to call his honor’s attention to the latitude allowed the judge in sentencing a man convicted of manslaughter—imprison ment from four months to twenty vears. Col. Jones paid a tribute to the jury for the close attention during their trial and their patience in con sidering the issues involved. He thought the appeal made by eleven members of the jury should militate strongly In Bishop’s favor, and he begged the judge to remember the prisoner’s family.Solicitor Webb said he had nothing to say. “Your honor is a wise judge,” he continued, “and whatever you do will be satisfactory to the State of North Carolina.”Mr. Guthrie called attention to the surrender of the prisoner in order to show that he did not think himself guilty of any heinous crime.Judge Neal then read the petition from eleven members of the jury, ask ing the court to be merciful to Bish op, and said: “I think the verdict of the jury in this ease is correct, and never in my life have I seen a jury work harder to reach a just verdict. They paid close attention to all Hie proceedings, and I was especially struck with the attention paid to the argument. Even the last speaker was closely listened to. In passing sen tence In this case I shall be guided by my best judgment, regardless of any thing else.” Then turning to Clerk Russell Judge Neal said: “Mr. Clerk make this entry: ‘It is the judgment of the court that Arthur L. Bishop he imprisoned at hard labor for five years.’ ” Col. Jones gave notice of appeal, and the judge was requested to name the amount of bail in case it was de cided to carry the matter to the Su preme Court. The judge said that he did not care to name any amount at this time, but would do so later if necessary. Court then adjourned. The prisoner received the sentence without showing any emotion. Mrs. Bishop, however, sued tears when tho decision of the court was announced. , M ovem enttoStop Emigration.

That IsA bout tlie Onlr Belief Possible ’ TIirougIx Bepeal of Tariff on Coal. Congress has passed and tbe Presi dent has signed a bill suspending all tariff duties on all cdal for'the period of twelve mouths and permanently re pealing the duty on anthracite. This action has been taken in response to public clamor, and under the pressure of an emergency created by a short age in the supply of coal. It is in tended to relieve the eountry. Its only effect, we imagine, will be to relieve Congress. That it Wdll have auy ap preciable effect in increasing the sup ply or in lowering the price of coal In tile Eastern half of the United Stales wo do not for a moment believe. Dur ing tho coal famine period caused by tbe prolonged strike of the anthracite miners, and since the return of the miners to work every ponnd of foreign coal that could possibly be brought to the United States has been delivered at Atlantic ports, Tbe tariff of sixty- sevej cents per ton has had no effect whatever either in limiting the im ports or in x’aising prices. Anthracite coal has been eagerly bought at from $5 to Slo per ton above the normal price, and bituminous coal lias been held at an average of about $2 to 54 Iier ton above its normal price. With an increase of 55 to 515 per ton on nn- thx-acite and of S2 to 54 per tou on soft coal it needs no mathematical demonstration to show that the high price of coal has not been in the least degree caused or influenced by the tariff of sixty-seven cents per ton. Therefore it will be interesting to note whether this hurried bit of tariff tin kering shall improve or modify the conditions which I t ostensibly aims to correct, or whether, as we have said, its only noticeable effect will be to l’e- lieve Congress of an unpleasant strain. AVc incline to the latter view, so far as the Eastern half of the country is concerned. As to the Western half the outlook is not so clear. For the year 1901 the States of North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Washington, California and Oregon produced about 10,009,000 tons of bituminous coal. The States mentioned are within easy distance and short railroad hauls from coal mines in the Northwest Territory and- British Columbia, where coal is mined at a much lower labor cost than in the United States. If it shall turn out that In suspending the duty on coal for a year to come Congress has utterly failed to remedy the evils of short supply and high prices in the East, while at the same time seriously crippling the ccai-produeing industry in the West, the wisdom anil benefi cence of the repeal of coal duties will not be altogether apparent. Tariff tinkering is an excellent remedy when it reaches and corrects a bad condition. Otherwise, it is a very bad remedy. THE TARIFF AND PRICES are beef or coal affected by IMPORT DUTIES? Tariff Iieglslalion and Business. Governor Cummins of Iowa believes In tariff revision. He says in a public address that “little or nothing can be accomplished until we are willing to approach tbe tariff sche’dules in pre cisely the same spirit that we ap proach any other -subjeot of legisla- tion.” And he asks; “Why should we not banish forever ibis apparition of imaginary danger, perpetually invoked to paralyze the mind of inquiry when it turns toward tariff duties?” The Trouble is that there is no’ ap parition, but that, on the other hand, the danger is very real whenever a tariff upheaval is threatened. Business confidence is immediately destroyed. It is unquestionably a fact that some of the sckednles might be amended in a manner that ,would-prove beneficial. No schedule is expected to exist for all time. Commercial changes and devel opments render that impassible. If such amendments could be made quiet ly and without laying the whole tariff bill open to discussion and alteration, there could be no objection, but that is a difficult thing to do. In any event the !country is now prosperous, and while!, there may be minor evils, the great benefits of the Dingley bill far outweigh them. A general tariff revision is not wanted, and it would be unwise in the extreme to force one to the inevitable disturb ance of business.—Philadelphia In quirer. X1Ine Political Economy* In an address last week before the International Customs Congress Secre tary Shaw expressed a sound and im portant truth when he said: “There is no- greater blessing to any people than high-priced labor. The commercial importance of a country is mea: aired by the consumptive ca pacity of its people, and annxuil income is the test of consumptive capacity, and annual income is determined by the staxidai-d of wages.” An excellent doctrine ’admirably stated. For more than five years the United States has continuously ex hibited the tremendous volume of high- priced Jabor fully employed. It is to keep labor 'prices high and provide the maximum of employment that our present economic system is intended.- When the !Republic does its own work there will always be an abundance of, work and at high prices.

Defective Supply Being Alone Iteapon- H sible For BXgll Coat, the Bepeal pf the Tariff on Beef or Coal W ould Not low er Prices. • A tariff measure must originate in the House of Representatives; it must be reported by the Committee on Ways and Means; in order to be considered it must have the support of the Speaker. Tbe Speaker is against any tinkering of the tariff; the Ways and Means Committee is against it; the House of Representatives is against it. Any one of the three reasons is ample, and the three are. not stronger than any one alone. Why are they against tinkering the tariff.? Because a bill to reduce the duty on coal one cent, although forced through the House in an unamendable form, be comes subject to 5000 amendments in the Senate, and reopens the whole question of the tariff, from the chemi cal schedule down to the last article on the free list. No member of the majority party in Congress desires that. A discussion of the tariff by the Senate usually occupies from two to three months; so the debate would be not only mischievous but futile. In this twentieth century nothing is im possible, but there are few political events that come so near to the line of impossibility as a vote of any sort upon any phase of the tariff question during this second session of the Fifty-seventh Congress. And why should the question of. the coal and beef duties be raised? The Faneuil Hall meeting said that those duties foster monopoly. People have had to pay more for beef, and they clamor—that is, the Free Trade League clamors—for a repeal of the duty on meat, in order to break up the “beef trust.” The duty on beef is two cents & pound. If the repeal of that duty would remove an obstacle to the im portation of meat, how does it happen. that when the price of beef at whole sale went up four or five cents a pound none came into the country? AYhere would beef come from if it were free of duty? From Canada? Some people seem to be unaware that Canada imports more beef than it ex ports. If the duty on beef were re pealed and a bounty of two cents, a pound were given upon beef imported, not enough could be found to bring into the country at a profit to’ keep Boston In meat for six months. The cause of high beef was not the tariff, nor was it a “beef trust”—many Boston specu lators have lately been made aware to their cost that there is no beef trust —but it was the short crop of com in 1901. Now corn is cheap again, and lbeef has “come down.” It has not occurred to any one to suggest that the tariff is responsible for the shortage of coal or its high price. One does not have much re spect for the intellectual ability or honesty of those who argue that mo nopoly has anything whatever to do w ith the present price of coal. There is not enough of the coal itself. The duty of sixty-seven cents a ton deters :no one from buying foreign coal, which is ten times that amount higher than 1t usually is. The repeal of the tariff duty would not reduce the price to consumers by one cent a ton, because, since the price is wholly controlled •; Just now by the relation of the supply to the demand, and since Importers are straining every nerve to bring in all they can get, such repeal would not result in the importation of a pound more than is now brought across the water.—Boston Transcript AVliat Cause* Prosperity. Republican policy has not caused the rain or the sunshine, but it has sup plied and protected the market open to the things the rain and the sunshine have brought forth. Nature has given the land, with all its latent possibili ties, but the land would be going to waste if there were no marts for what it yields. Industry has been stimulated from the certainty that its efforts would not be for naftght. A glance back at the awful Gmes of the early nineties will recall to mind that even • then the acres were as fruitful, and the hand of toil as caloused by honest endeavor. There was the rain and the sunshine. Harvest followed seed time. Yet the looms were silent be cause none had the means to purchase. To gather the crops was futile, for none would buy. The country was poor because of the artificial and un wholesome financial atmosphere, and this atmosphere was the expression of Democratic faith put into works.— Tacoma Ledger. WIiy Cliange It? The Ledger, like a good American, has been studying the tariff for a good many years. It was born after the great silver campaign, and never bad to waste any gray matter on that issue, so it has had all the more time to devote to the tariff. The - Ledger found the tariff a well established American policy that bad been learned from England, who learned it from Germany, and our Government has bad a tariff since it started and has used it both as a revenue gatherer and as a protection to home industries. The tariff has fed our infant indus tries until they have grown so large thaf they have spread and overlapped several foreign countries and have made the world’s balance of trade lean our way, and the golden stream is filling our Treasury. That means our mills will run when foreign mills cannot. That our people will get the dividends, the wages and salaries of prosperity when foreign nations are pinched by depression. This condition exists now. AVhy should this country seek to change it? General Luke AVright, who has just come back ' from the Philippines, comes, like General AVbod, with all sorts of plans to reform the tariff by putting'-on a patch to fit the wants of those who want to dominate the com merce of the islands. Our country should not cripple any of its industries to build up a foreign land, even the Philippines. — Birmingham (Ala.) Ledger. French Railway Freight Rate.

The foregoing was amended by add ing the words “unless said, rent shall be used exclusive for charitable or be nevolent purposes or the interest upon the bonded indebtedness of said re ligious, charitable of benevolent insti tutions.” That amendment was ac cepted by the chairman of the finance committee.Mr. Roberson, of Guilford, moved to amend by exempting the property of fair associations. Mr. Gattis moved to amend the amendment by saying this exemption shall not apply to fairs where games of chance and other im moral and’ fake attractions are allow ed. The amended amendment was lost.

Thompson was shot three times, and mortally wounded, by Mr. E. N. Mc Lean ip this place Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock. The shooting occurred in the dining room of Mr. Thompson's residence. Thompson had been drinking slightly, and In her fear to be in the house with him alone under the circumstances, Mrs. Thompson sent for McLean, who is her nephew. JicLean had his Ioitgi ing apartments in the house, but when he appeared as the protector of his aunt, Mr. Thompson resented his pres ence, and an altercation ensued be tween the two men, McLean remon strated with Tliompson in regard to his treatment of Mrs. Thompson. Thomp son finally drew his pistol and fired at him, the bal! barely grazing his left side, passing throhgh the waistband of his trousers and glancing off. McLean then, he says, returned the fire. The best evidence now obtainable is that he emptied three chambers of his re volver, a No. 32 Iver & Johnston,, at close range. One ball entered Thomp son’s body Just under the left nipple; another entered exactly on the median line immediately below the sternum, and is embedded in the flefih of his back; yet another grazed the side of Thompson, inflicting rio injury. The physicians have scarcely any hope that Thompson can recover. They say it is barely possible that he can live throughout the night. McLean surrendered to a magistrate and claims self-defense. He is a son of Mr. G. F. McLean, a lawyer of this place, and his mother is postmaster here. He is 21 years of age and un married. He has been studying medi cine, but poor health has interfered with the completion of his studies. Mr. Thompson is about 37 years old. He has been a commercial traveler for a Louisville house, but at present has no fixed employment. He has no children. Coiima Belching Fire. Mexico City, Special—News from the region surrounding the volcano of Coli ma continues alarming. The people, terrified by the belching flames, and pouring lava are seeking shelter in dis tant towns and villages. The city of Tuxpam, in the State of Jalosa, con tinues under a heavy cloud of smoke. The volcanoo is alight with flames. The new eruption yesterday afternoon has increased the general fear. An American who slept near the volcano on the night of the eruption was awakened by a tremendous explosion and saw the mountain ejecting flames to an enormous height. He waited till morning, enjoying the magnificent spectacle and then deemed it prudent to leave the vicinity. There is not much alarm in the city of Colima, but fears are felt for the farmers in the neighborhood of the volcano. Lost His Life. Fordyce, Arlt., Special.—At New Edinburg while W. D. Atwood, a prom inent merchant, was placing a tomb stone over his child’s grave, C. R. Kilgore, an old man whose two sons were killed last year while resisting arrest at the hands of Atwood and an other man, both of whom had been specially deputized, appeared armed with a pistol and ran Atwood from the graveyard. Atwood armed himself with a shot-gun and returned. Kilgore said: ‘'That is not fair; you havet a gun and I only have a pistol.” Atwood ordered him to drop the pistol, but instead of doing so, Kilgore began firing. Atwood then shot and killed him. Dr. Davis Killed. Birmingham, Special.—Dr. W. E. B. Davis, one of the most prominent phy sicians in the Southern States; was run over by an Alabama Great South ern passenger train at the Twenty- fourth street crossing and instantly killed. Dr. Davis was formerly presi dent of the Tri-State Medical Society and hail held other high positions in the medical world. He had a national reputation as, a surgeon. Fatal Battle. With Miners. Charleston, W. Va., Special.—At Staniford City, Raleigh county, a ter rible battle took place at dawn Wed nesday, between the joint posses of Deputy United States Marshal Cun ningham and Sheriff Cook on one side, and rioting miners on the other, as a result of which three miners were kill ed, two others, mortally wounded and a number of others on both sides more or less seriously hurt. The dead are: Diclt Taylor,- Dobson, an un known miner. Mortally wounded: John Heiseh, Irwin Lawson. Dr. Curry’s W ill Washington, Special.—The will -of Dr. J. L. M. Curry, of Richmond, Va.-, dated Madrid, Spain, December 28, 1887, was filed. Dr. Curry leaves a!! his property except a life-insurance policy; to his wife, Mrs. Mary W. Cur ry. The life insurance, the amount of which is not stated, is for the benefit of the children of- Dr. Curfy. The will contains the request that Mary W. Curry be appointed executrix and that she shall not be required to give bond. King EdwardM Plate. The fall in tho price of silver still leaves the king the possessor of an enormous fortune in the plate he has inherited from hie mother, both at Buckingham Palace and at Windsor Castle. The late queen had the great preponderance of her plate'at. Wind sor, whereas during the present reign Buckingham Palace will probably be the more plentifully supplied. No valuation has had to* be made for pro bate duty, for the king does not pay the king's taxes, any more than tho speaker of the third estate speaks. Not. long ago, however, fin inventory Was made at Windsqr Castle, with the result that the plate, most of it sil ver, some of it gold, and a portion of it, such as metal peacock and other ornaments, set With gems, was apprais ed at a sum far in excess of a million pounds. Edward VII., who has made considerable additions to the collec tion by the transfer of his own plate from Marlborough House, may. well be alluded to among connoisseurs as "the silver king.”—London Daily Chronicle. The Highlanders' Instinct. It is curious to observe how deeply rooted some national characteristics are. Lord Lovat’s speech at the ban- quet to the Lovat Scouts, which we report elsewhere, disclosed the fact that the Highlanders’ talent for cattle- lifting, which had free play during several centuries of border warfare before Chatham invented Highland regiments, is still strong In their de scendants. “But now," said Lovat, "instead of going to the Lowlands for their cattle, they went to South Africa for them, and he had heard that a gentleman In South Africa had said the Highlanders were the best cattle thieves he had ever met.” This seems to be the point which has most stirred the imagfnation of Lord Lovat in the "admirable services,” as the king well called them in his telegram to, the gathering of the Highland regiments Shall I Look Back? From some dim height of being, undes- criecl, Shall I look back and trace the wearyway By which my feet are Journeying to* day—The toilsome path that climbs the mountain side,Or leads into the valley sun-denied,Where, through the darkness, hapless wanderers stray,Unblessed, uncheered, ungladdened by a rayOf certitude their errant steps to guide? Shall I look back and see the great things small;The toilsome path, God's training for my feet,The pains that never had been worth my tears?.Will some great light of rapture, bathing all.Make bygone woe seem joy; past bitter, sweet? Shall I look back and wonder at my fears? —Louise Chandler .Moulton. AKOTA m » $ I A To err may be buman, but to iorgxve is not. W h i c h ?

If we are to believe the statemeat that he was lately seen reading the' newspapers in a railway train with the help of a pince-nez. Nor is this to be wondered at when we remember the lament once made by the kaiser him self, who, speaking of his school days at Cassel, remarked that out of a class of twenty “no fewer than eighteen of his fellow pupils wore spectacles, while two of these, with their glasses on, could not even see the length of the table.” As compared with other nations, the GermanB may be describ ed as a spectacle-wearing people, and there can be no doubt that the main cause of their defective sight is tho peculiar character of their type, which is most trying to the eyes. The pres ent emperor, no less than Bismarck, has always protested on patriotic grounds againBt the substitution oi the Roman for the Teutonic, or black letter, character in print, and both have had to suffer equally for their Chauvinism.—London Chronicle. Two Kinds of Law. There was a case in the police court yesterday' where a young man was charged with the theft of some boots, but the parties settled, the accused paying the accuser 60 cents. “You had no right to take money to settle a case of theft,” said the police magis trate. * As a statement of law, this may be all right, but how does the principle work as applied to larger people than the 60-cent disputants In yesterday's court? When a bank clerk steals thousands of dollars, does the law say that the bank has: no right to taka money to settle the case of theft? - Whatever the written law may be, the practice is to let big operators In theft settle with the big institutions they have wronged. The principle la in practice—accepted that the big in stitution shall be considered and en abled to recover, if it can, what has been stolen from it. The way it works out to this, as in many other matters, is that there is one law for the great and another for the small.—Toronto Star. Woman Shoots Her Betrayer. Lincoln, Neb., .

Olds: The dissipated mem ber of the Legislature referred to twice before for his behavior, and who promised to reform, is again making a holy show of himself- A night or two ago he gave his handsome watch and ehain to a deaf mute street begger, and then maudlin drunk sat down in a ho tel and wept. His latest act was‘to f-tand in front of a water cooler which he addressed as the most beauti’ful creature in the world, quoting spring poetry and apostrophizing the numberless charms of this inamorata, declar ing that her eyes were stars and her golden hair the most' beautiful in heaven or on earth. A crowd enjoyed the exhibition. The above was written by Col. Olds a Democratic corespondent. He and the rest take pains to con ceal the identity of this Democrat ic Senator.. Why dont you give his name? Why dont you expell him? Werehe a Republican, his name would have adorned the Democratic press from Manteo to Cherokee. You would have im peached him for high crimes and misdemeanors long .ago. Senator I Cathey is the name of the gentle man, so we are informed. From what we can hear he has been drunk most, of the" time for tie past two mouths. No .service to his people, a disgrace to himself and the state. Yet beeausc he belongs to the devine rulers; he holds on drawing $4.00 per day, and spending it iu public drurk- ness. Shame upon a party who will uphold a man of it's own party under such'conditions. Hore Riots. Disturbances of strikers are not nearly as grave as an individual disorder of the system. Overwork loss of sleep, nervous tension will be followed by utter collapse, less a reliable remedy is immediat- Iy employed. There’s nothing so efficient to cure disorders of the Liver or Kidneys as Electric Bit iers. It’s a wonderful tonic, and effective nervine and the greatest all around medcine for run down systems. It dispels Nervousness, Rheumatism and Neuralgia, and expels Malaria germs. Only 50c, and satisfaction guarntee A by C. C. Sanford Druggist.________ Kurfees Dots. J. B, Whitley is on the sick list.

Several weeks age, a petition was circulated in town for a graded school. ThesnmandsubstaDCeof the petition was for a bill allowing the town to levy 25 cents on each !$100 of propel ty and 50 cems .on ] the poll, and a bond issue of $1000 for building a suitable school house. The question-was to be submitted to a vote in May, and if ratified by a majority of the voters, theu the levy of the tax would be ,made, and Mocksville fcvould be given a good school. Certaiu ones have gotten up a counter petition opposing the the school, and some of them are writing letters, to Raleigh in op position to the bill, so we are re liably imformed.

In 1902 the South produced $140.- 000,000 of cotton manufactures, paying $20 ,000,000 for wages' and using #70,000,000 worth of raw cot ton of its own raising, which cot ton weighed 915,07S‘408 pounds. In 1902 the South added 4,440 establishments,engaged in 217 dif ferent industries, to its manufactur ing wing which addition gave em ployment to 200,000 more people aad at the rate of five to a family, bet tered the condition of 1,000,000 persons. In 1902 the South produced 60,- 000 tons of coal, against 50,300 tons produced in 1901- In 1902 the South raised a, cotton crop of 11.600,000 bales, against 10,38-3,000 bales in 1901. In 1902 the South produced near Iy 3,300,000 tons of pig iron, steel and cost iron pipe. In 1903 the Bmth (including bor der states) built 4,600 miles of new railroad. ... In 1902 the South raised a cot ton crop of the value of $452,113,- 134and exported $38 4.279 ‘190 of it In 1902 the South had 716 cot ton mills With 7,512,982 spindles, and $175,000,000 capital, against. 180 mills with 667,354 spindles, and $22,000 ,000 - capital in 1880. (Manufacturer’s Record.) In 1902 the South had 500 cotton oil mills, with a capital of §34.400- 000, and a product of $125,000,000 ( nearly a four times turnover ) against 40 mill with $3,500,000 cap ital in 1880, In 1902 the South had a total capital of $1,100 ,000,000 invested in manufactures. In 1902 the exports from,-South ern ports amounted to $510,000,000 of the #1,355,000,000 total exports of tfho United States, In 1902 the Sonth marketed ov er #200,0 00,009 worth of lumber. In 1902 the South produced ov er $1,750,000 worth of mineral, aud manufactured products, In 1902 the South produced ov er 20,000,000 barrels of petroleum. In 1992 the South produced all of the rice grown in this country, 99 percent of the peanuts and 71 per cent of the tobacco. This synopsis of the progress of the South in 1902 might be large ly extended, but the foregoing fully demonstrates that the South is progressing at a,'rate which- the North may well envy, and rejoice over while envying.

Section d, providing for township liigh schools was stricken out. Section 9 w'as rlis. cussed. Mr. AVoodard said public edu cation was not a duty of the Slate to the child, but was the duty of the State fo itself as a liocessary safe guard to its own prcsdi vation. He ad vocated an amendment Iliat tlic sec tion providing for allotment by the eounty boards pro rata shall not apply to any township, city, town or school district levying a special tax, Mr.' Woodard said this section was unjust. Mr. MrCbb said that JI- was a double tax. For instance Aslieville paid $20,- 000 of the $39,000 used for Buncombe rural schools and of'this $20,000 Asheville got back less than $5,000 for its graded Schools, If the Asheville schools bad not borrowed money its term would have b-:en two months’ shorter than the rural schools . that ran eight months. This section allowed county boards to pay for school houses, IhB siipciintendeht-’s salary, the building of schooi houses and things of this kind.before a cent was apportioned and in this way the towns derived no benefit from the money paid, but were taxed to' support the county schools and their own also. Mr. White pleaded eloquently for the sections, saying that tne county’s duty was to provide first a four months’ term. He defended the country Jcliool tcachers. The bill provided thaj.-;thc county boards can only spend to per cent, of the amount raised In the county in building school houses. He pictured eloquently the needs of the country boys and girls. Mr. Webb said he was here to plead for the poor lit tle factory boys of Asheville who only secured a six months’ school while the people of AsheViIlfe snpported an eight Eionthb school.' in the country. *?,£r.

He consid ered the section as it stood very unfair to the city schools. Mr. Travis spoke for the section as framed by the committee. The one-sixth could only be taken by the county board where there was not four months' school. Mr. Pharr’s amendment was lost. Mr. Baldwin moved to strike out section 10. Motion was lost, 10 to 12.

Jas. Hickman shot and instantly killed Jas. Mac-k. Several years ago Mack induced her home in western North Carolina. Hickman had not heard from his wifo until a few days ago when Im learned she was living with Mack in the coal fields. He went in search of her and located them in a cabin at Powhattan. He called Mack to the door aiul emptied both barrels of a breechload er into the man who had wrecked his home. Hickman surrendered. Shut in By Snow. Fort Worth, Tex., Special.—The country around Amarillo is wrapped in nearly two feet of snow and the town has been practically shut out from the world for the past six days. Railroad traffic is completely suspended. Not a train has moved in a week. Two hun dred passengers are held here await ing the break of the snow blockade, which is the worst ever known in that section of ‘.he State.

Congress expired at noon Wednesday by limitation. In many re spects the closing scenes were simi lar to those at the end of every Con gress. Every four years, however; there is an inauguration which materi ally changes the proceedings in the Senate, but the expiration of a Con gress in the House is very much the same each time. But there has not been in many years such a demonstration in the House as occurred, owing to the fact that Speaker Henderson was re tiring, not only as presiding officer from the House, but from the House as a member. The bitter partisan feel ing that has sprung up in the House of Representatives during the past week reached a pitch which prevented the Speaker from receiving the unani mous approval of the House when tlie usual resolution cf thanks and cour tesy was offered. More than this, the resolution had to come from the Re publican side, and while this has oc curred before, it is not the usual cus tom. The usual resolution of thanks to President Pro Tempore Frye was unan imously adopted in the Senate. MASON TALKS A BILL TO DEATH. Two years ago. when the Fifty-sixth Congress expired, it was remarkable not only for the second inauguration of W n.' McKinley, but also for the fact that Senator Carter, ot Montana, talked the river and harbor bill to death, which occupied the time of the Senate up to within a few minutes of the end. Sonator Mason, whose term sspircd at noon, talked an unimport ant biii to (l?3th, but In his valedictory he lectured tho Senate for its unlim ited debate which allows bills to be killed in that manner, and he also made a final plea for the freedom of the Filipinog.- ALL IMPORTANT MEASURES GET THROUGH. As all the important supply bills had passed before the two houses took a recess this morning, no legislation was necessary and none was attempted. The bills which had passed and reach' s4 the stage of enrollment were all signed by President Roosevelt, who, with members of bis cabinet, occupied the President’s rooi!.‘ in the Senate wing of the capital. This visit of the President to the capitol is one of the features of a closing- Congress. NO LBMTP OF THK FILIBUSTER. Washingtiiii1 Special.—Tho decks were clear for the fiiial adjournment at noon whc-n the House reconvened at 10 o’clock Wednesday morning. The Speaker, .despite- the strain of the last few (lays, k.Gi-ic-'l smiling and serene as ilfc faced the House, gavc-l in hand. Mr. Richardson, the minority leader, who has Iicen conducting the filibuster, was on his feet, smiling back at the Speaker. The'Democratic minority de termined to make good their threat made when Mr. Butler, of Missouri, was unseated last Thursday and fili buster to she end of the session. Speaker Henderson soon yielded the §avel to Mr. Cannon, the in-coming Sneaker. As the latter took the chair the members broke into applause in wbjcli the galleries joined. It was quite as much a'compliment to the retiring Speaker as to Mr. Cannon. Amid in tense Silence, Mr. Payne, the majority leader, then arose and offered the fol lowing resolution o£ thanks of the re tiring Speaker: RESOLUTION OF THANKS OFFER ED BY PAYNE. ‘•Resolved, That the. thanks of this House are presented to the Hon. David B. Henderson, Speaker ot the House o' Representiitivcs for the able, impar tial and dignified manner in which he has presided over its deliberations and performed the arduous and important duties of the chair during the present term of Congress." As the reading was concluded Mr. Cochran, Democrat, of Missouri, was on Iiis feet demanding recognition, but the chair riilfid that Mr. Payne was en titled to the floor. The majority leader faced the minority as he announced that he considered it a high honor and privilege to be permitted to offer this resolution, pointing out that it was not the first time that such a resolution had come from the majority side. He cited the intanccs of Clay, Polk. Banks and the Iste Speaker Reed. As he con cluded. with a “glowing tribute to Speaker Henderson, the whoie Repub lican side broke into hearty applause. But there was dead sler.ee. on the Democratic side. THB SPEAKER’S FAREWELL AD DRESS. Mr. Cannon, still standing at tlie side of- the rostrum, then in p clear voice read the resolutions adopted by the House. Speaker Henderson was visi bly affected as he faced the packed galleries and the members of the House for his valedlctosy. For half a minute he paused to control his emo tions before beginning. Then in a voice that trembied at first but grew grad ually stronger as be proceeded until his words rang out, ho delivered what was perhaps the most touchingly hu man farewell address ever delivered j from the Speaker's chair. I Toward the close, he laid down the I gavel and reached out his arms to his colleagues as he spoke of the love and affection with which he would treasure the friendship and memories of his career in the House. When he conclud ed the cheers from the floor and gal leries echoed and re-echoed through the hall. In the Senate. Washington, Special.—The Senate was called to order at 10 o’clock Wed nesday for the last sitting of the Fif- ty-seventh Congress, but business did not begin until'some time later. The delay was due to -.-the absence of a quorum-and to the=fact that Mr. Cock rell insisted uBtfn' the presence of the necessary number lioforc taking tip the work of the day. M r..

The grand vizier could not understand a sore, but listened most attentive!? till he noticed that bis pipe had gone cst and clapped bis hand for a servant w '.offio and re-light it. Haussmanny Tfiinking he was applauding, rushed toward him with outstretched hand, intes'ling to shake hands and thank me. The grand vizier, seeing his hand put forth, shook it warmly and said "Good-by," under the impression it was Haussman's intention to leave, m quitted the room.

STICKiO THESIGN QF THE FISH. tlGET CLOSE,” WROTE NELSON. And in That Phrase . He Summed Up His Theories of Sea Fighting. Our slang phrase, “Get Next.” ap pears slightly paraphrased in a letter written by I.ord Nelson to Lord War wick not long before the battle of Tra falgar. Nelson had received from Lord Warwick a description of! an invention that aimed to increase the efficiency of the marine and field artillery of the day, and to the letter containing that description the victor of the Nile re plied in the following, which was never published until a few weeks ago, when the present Lord Warwick read it at a public dinner: “My Dear Lord—I feel very much obliged for the favor of your letter, and although I am not a good judge of mechanism, yet dare say your inven tion for making cannon range their shots farther than at present will an swer your expectations, and on shore, in particular, it will be most useful., Woolwich is the only place where such an experiment can be plainly tried by scientific men. On beard ship our wish is to get as close as possible to the enemy. Always endeavor to inculcate the doctrine, ‘Get ,dose, and you will be the victor/ ” The “Get close” was underscored. That one phrase admirably summed up the whole Nelsonian theory of sea strategy, the theory that led him to dare the guns of the shore batteries at Copenhagen and to sail the Victory siient3y down the line of blazing French and Spanish broadsides until she reached her desired place in the thickest of the most memorable sea fight of modern history. 1S #3UKlCH ...• L.

The i.iictiire is Vividlsr drawn and The c-onti-i ists ef fectively brought out. A fter' reciting with much detail the Iiorrori; of the panic period, beginning ten y»;dns ago, promptly upon the election -of a free trade Administration and -Onngress, and pausing long enough to describe with much dramatic force the terrible march of Covey’s tramps, the story comes down to the present period of unparalleled prosperity, when all labor is profitably employed at the highest wage rate ever known, and when the accumulation of wealth among ail classes, poor as wei! as rich, is going forward at a rate httlierto unrecorded in the world's .history. Right at this point tunics the moral of the tale, and a. striking moral it is. Kroih great depressionwohave changed to great buoyancy, from great poverty to great riches, from great want to great abundance. Al! this lias hap pened and it is with us to-day. That which alarmed and terrified us from '93 to ’97 alarms us no mere. But a new alarm has risen. As the Capital well says: 1T hc hJarin of poverty which some people thought: Ondangav1Id the repub lic w as out et the way .scarcely three years until the alarm of riches (Si mo into view. “And now we are where people have again lost, their heads. There are those who look out of the upper windows and once. more, ioolc upon the tragedy which they think will end this freo re public. Sensation mongers on the stump and in Oongrcss harrc caught the. popular ear and are in the centre of the stage. Tliev are playing to packed houses, in fact, io standing room only. The demagogrf - is shaking his mane.” .True it is. singularly, sadly, shame fully true, that under the ,spell of the sensation mongers in Congwss and on the stump, in Governors’ chairs and aditorial sanctums, in the coinmns of nrfivspnper professedly conducted in the interests oi' prosperity and peace, the alarm has changed. TVe are no longer afraid oi’ poverty. That danger has been removed, at ’.east Irfr a time. Wo are now afraid of being too rich! So we are told that to guard against this* new peril, we must rip up tilings, tear them wide open, upset our laws and systems fia t have in-ought us from the abyss of w ant and suffering up to the very pinnacle of plenty and pros perity: That is die situation to-da.v, and in no part of the country is the condition more marked than in the State In which tire Dcs Moines Capital is printed and circulated. Surely it was time to tell this story, time to point this -moral, time to call hack to their senses,'this great American JieopIe who arc now listening too Intently to what (lie demagogues and sensation mongers are shouting.

Boies, dealer in grain and feed, 505 South Water street, Akron, O., made the following statement in 1890; ho said: “Ever since the Civil War I have had attacks of kidney and bladder trouble, decid edly worse during the last two or three years. Although I consulted physi cians, some of whom told me I was verging on Bright’s disease, and I was continually, using standard remedies, the excruciating aching just across the kidneys, which radiated to the’ shoul der blades, still existed. As might be expected when my kidneys were in B disturbed condition, there was a dis tressing and inconvenient difficulty with the action of the kidney secre tions. A box of Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured at Iiftmparter & Co.’s drug store, brought such a decided change within a week that I continued the treatment. The last attack, and it was particularly aggravated, disappeared." Three Tears AflW. Mv. Boies says iu 3 899: “In Uie spring of 1896 I uuide a public state ment of my experience with Loan’s Kidney Pills. This remedy cured me of a terrible aching in the kidneys, in the siaall of my back, in tlie imisdes of the shoulder blades, and in the limbs. Luring the years that have gone by I can conscientiously say there have been no recurrences of my old trouble. My eoutidenec in Loan’s Kid ney Pills is stronger than ever, not Only from my personal experience, but from the experience of many oth ers in Akron which have come to my notice.” A FRiSE TKIAL of this great kid ney medicine which cured Mr. Boies will be mailed on application to any pari of the United States.

Pritchard To-day this gentleman completes eight years of service as a Senator from this State in the Congress of the United States. Mr, Pritchard went into tbe Senate a partisan Republican, aud in all matters of party politics maintained that po sition throughout. Aside from this, however it is due him to say, and a pleasure to us to say it, that in all other niattcis. throughout his service he was faithful to the best interest of nis State and spar ed no opportunity to promote them. He enjoyed, as he deserv ed, the highest personal respect of of his colleagues of both parties, and conducted himself in a way honorable alike to himself and his State. He carries with him in his retirement only good wishes ot his fellow-citizens of both parties ‘or a successful and happy future. —Raleigh Post, March 4th. ‘THE KTSG IS DEAD!” iiLOKG LIVE XUE KIKG!’' A t noon to-day the term of Sen ator J. 0. Pritchard comes to an eud. He has been a member of the Senate for eight years and has re dacted credit- upon Korth Carolina in Ihat body. He has evidenced ■ility, and tbe dignity of his bearing has at all times been wor th Jr of the traditions of the United States Senate. Mr, Pritchard has been a stout partisan., but in all matters non-political brought be fore him by his constituents, he has not known one Horth Carolin ian from another—a Democrat has had the same claim upon his courtesy aud services that a Re publican has, aud with this dis position, and liked at the White House and iu the Depavtvnentsr he has made his State a valuable Senator. Thus it is that be retir es with the respect and the kindly regard of the great body of the Democrats ot North Carolina. He has uoise much for his State aud many individuals in it, sparing no pains to meet all reasonable dc-’- inands upon his time and services. IIis people have never had cause to bI usii for him as a Senator and he retires to-day with their con fidence and ‘ best wishes. Of his successor, Hon. Lee S. Overman, whoes term begins the moment that Senator Pritchard’s expires much is expected, and with reason, and he Avill disappoint no just ex pectation. AYe venture to express good wishes for him on the thres hold of his term, of senatorial ser vice.—Charlotte Observer: o l votion of his party, and his politi cal enemies can truthfully say nothing but good of him.

Thepotatoscab is readily reco gnized by all growers of the potato by the scabby depression in the normally smooth skin of the pota to. These scabs may be single or scattered, but are often so abnnd- ant- as to involve nearly the whole surface of the potato. To the con sumer they are ot considerable im portance, since they necessitate Verjr thick paring, and a conse quent loss of the edible portion of the potato. The farmer who wishes to sell his potatoes, the loss is. even greater, as the seabliy tubers command in the market much less price than clean, healthy potatoes, The scab is due to fungus which grows iu the skin of the potato. This fungus on old fields,-which have been used repeatedly for po tatoes, may be thoroughly distri buted through the soil. In ground which has not been used tor po tatoes so much, the scab causing fungus may be absent. Ii, how ever, scabby potatoes Im planted in a clean soil the seab will be carried to this soil by such plant ing, aud a scabby crop will result. One method then by which the scab gains access to the field is through the seed. This means of entrance is under the control of the farmer, and may be readily cut cfl by soaking the seed in a chemical which will kill the fungus adher- ng to the surface of the potato, and yet not injure the potato itself, tiuch a chemical Is formalin. To treat JrOnr seed potatoes mix eight ounces of fomalin with fif teen gailonB of water, and soak the seed in the solution -for two hours. Then cut and plant them. The solution may be used repeat edly, bat it is well after it has been used two or three times, to either lengthen the time of immer sion or add a little more formalin to make up for any loss In streng th. Formalin is harmless non- poisonous substance (when used externally) which can be used with safty anywhere. It can be purchased at any drug store for about 80 cents per pint. In many cases the value of the crop has- been doubled by thiB treatment, and yet the treatment itself, including both material and labor, costs only a few cents per aefe.. ^ If yon are troubled with the scab do not neglect treatment.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY A Decree ThatSbows the Progress ol the World’s Thought CZAR OF RUSSIA GROWS LIBERAL: Local Self-Government Oranted i:i Some Instances—A Long Step in Advance. St. Petersburg, By Cable.—The Czar lias published a decree providing for freedom of religion throughout his dominions, establishing to some de gree local self-government and mak ing other concessions to the village committees. The decree, which was is sued in commemoration of the anni versary of the birthday of Alexander III, is considered to'be the most sig nificant act Cf state since the emanci pation of the serfs. The public haiis it as the proclamation of an era open ing up bright prospects of the ear.y improvement oil Russian internal ad ministration. The text of the decrec is in part as follows: “The trouble agitating oar country, which to our deep regret have partly been sown by designs hostile to the State and partly engendered by doc trines foreign to Russian life, hinder the general work of ameliorating the well-being of our people. These trou bles confuse the public mind, remove the people from productive labor, and often ruin families dear to our heart and young energies among high and low, necessary to the internal develop ment of the country. In demanding the fulfillment of this, our will, while remaining strongly opposed to any vio lation of the normal course of national life, -and having confidence that all will loyally discharge their local du ties, we are irrevocably decided to satisfy the needs for which the State has become ripe and have deemed it expedient to strengthen and decree it expedient to observance of the prin ciples of tolerance laid down by the fundamental laws of the Russian Em pire, which, recognizing the Orthodox Chureh as the ruling one, grant to all our subjects of other religious and to ali foreign persuasions freedom of creed and worship in accordance with other rites: and we are further resolv ed to continue the active, carrying out of measures for the improvement of Ihe material position of the orthodox rural clergy, while enabling them to take a larger share in intellectual and public life. ‘In accordance with impend,ng measures for the consolidation of the national economy, the efforts of the State credit institutions and especially the nobles and peasants banks should be directed to strengthening and de veloping the welfare and fundamental pillars of Russian village life and that of the local nobility and peasantry. These principles marked out by us for the disposition of the laws of the rural population are, when formulated, to be referred to the provincial government councils, so that with the assistance of persons enjoying the public’s confi dence, they may be further developed and adapted to the special conditions of individual localities. This funda mental principle of the inviolability of communal property is to be maintain ed, while at the same time means are to be found to render it easier for the indivadual to server connections with the community to which he belongs, if ho so desires. “Without delay measures must be .taken to release the peasants from the present burdensome liability of en forced labor. “Through reforms are to be effected in the provincial governments and dis tricts administrational by the local representatives, while attention will be devoted to securing closer co-oper ation between .the communal authori ties and parochial trustees of the Or thodox churches wherever possible. “Calling upon all our subjects to co operate in strengthening the founda tions of families, school and public life under which alone the well-being of the people and the confidence of every one in the stabiity of his rights can develop, we command of our ministers and chief officials concerned in this matter to submit to us their views re garding the execution of our inten tions.” Sworn to Kill His Unde. Knoxville, Tenn., Special.—Garrett Heddon, an alleged moonshiner, has been stabbed to death by his brother, Riley Heddon, in Polk county. A year ago in an altercation with another brother, Garrett killed him and this murder led to his own death. Garrett and Riley had visited the town of Re liance and had started home when they became involved in a quarrel about Garrett having killed his brother, the result being that Riley plunged a knife through his body. Garrett was taken home, where, after his family had as sembled, he gave to his eldest son, aged 10, his pistol, making him swear that he would kill his uncle when he was large enough.

C. Brooks, who for several months last year was the secretary of the North Carolina execu tive committee of the Southern edu cation board, where he did such ex cellent work for rural public schools, will now become a clerk in the State Superintendent’s office. This is a new position created at the recent session o fthe legislature, with $1,000 salary. Superintendent Joyner went to Greensboro two or three days ago to see Mr. Brooks in regard to the Iat- ter’s taking this clerkship. He resign ed the superintendency of the Mon roe graded schools to take the place. He will also be the secretary of the executive committee of the Southern education board during the latter’s summer work, with which he is so fa miliar. Superintendent Joyner says Mr. Brooks’ duties will be to look af ter the loan fund, for aiding in the building of school houses, and that he will investigate the condition of af fairs in the various counties so that the money may be used to the best ad vantage.

A Reidsville special says: The F. R. Penn Tobacco Company in the future will employ girls in the smoking to bacco department. They are of the opinion that this class of labor will prove more satisfactory in every par ticular. The Old North State Company has been working girls for some time. Robert Harris & Bro. employ only boys, but it is rumored that they, as well as the other smoking tobacco fac tories, are contemplating a change. Labor is quite scarce; negroes are leav ing daily for West Virginia and other States, and it is only a question of time when all the factories will be compelled to depend entirely on white labor. Manufactured tobacco is being shipped in large quantities and manu- facturies find it impossible to keep up with orders. The order men have in structions to purchase ail the leaf to bacco possible, and a still further ad vance is expected ere the week is A Raleigh Special says: Work is in progress on Jlie Pullen Memorial building at the Agricultural & Me chanical College.

In this building will be the dining hall, to seat 600 students, and the assembly room, which will accommodate 1,500. Some work yet remains to be done in Wa tauga Hall.

The incendiaries, using a quantity of cot ton waste, saturated with oil, set fire in several places, to the oil house, which adjoined the main building, but the fire was discovered in time. The insurance commissioner sent an expert there to investigate. In the Superior Court at Charlotte the case of W. S.

Eor example, the soiil of Governor Cummins boils with virtuous indignation at the contemplation of so foul a crime as that which is involved in selling surplus products to foreign ers at a lower price than that which domestic consumers are required to pay. The souls of Senator Doliver, Di rector of the Mint Roberts and other watch dogs of the tariff boil similarly and for a similar cause. They cannot tolerate the thought of building up foreign trade by suc-h means, and they propose to stop the tiling by tearing open the tariff schedules and introduc ing what Governor Cummins-calls “po tential foreign competition.” Con gressman Tawney also exhibits some perturbation at the thought that some portion—about one per cent.—of our domestic production linds its way to foreign buyers at slightly cut prices, and he proposes a Congressional com mission to inquire into the matter with a view to arriving at some method— tariff reduction, of course—whereby American mills and factories will be forced to shut down when the limit of domestic consumption shall have been reached. Incidental to this plan it is proposed to lower the tariff bars so that it will be much easier tor foreign producers to work off their surplus on the American market at cut prices and thereby diminish American production, employment and wages. Great heads these Republican reformers have. The practice of price cutting to for eign customers is universal. It obtains to a very limited extent -in. the United States, where protection prosperity has created a demand that absorbs all our industrial production as fast as it can be turned out. It obtains much more in foreign countries. All over Europe goods for export are invoiced at lower prices than the prevailing market price for the same goods at home. In this connection attention is called to the following extract from' a letter to an American house, dated September 12, 1002, from the firm of Charles Cammell & Co., Limited, of Sheffield, England: “In regard to reducing prices for ex port business, this is done by us, inas much as the prices wo obtain from home railways arc sensibly higher than from customers abroad.” Cammell & Co. sell steel rails. They do business in a free trade country. Hence it cannot be a protective tariff that enables them to obtain from home railways prices that “are sensibly high er” than the prices obtained from “customers abroad.” And yet wo hear of no Parliamentary commission to ex amine into the matter and report a plan whereby the British iron producer shall be compelled to stop his quest for foreign trade by means of reducing prices for export business. Foreign governments seem to think it a good thing to market surplus products abroad and thus maintain production and wage paying at homo. For exam ple, the charters of a considerable num ber of EngUsh railways require that goods for export shall be carried at a lower freight rate than goods for home consumption. It is only in the United States that “progressive” reformers are to be found who would pot only stop the sale of surplus products abroad bnt would offer special inducements to foreigners to dump their surplus on the American market. WAS SIMPLE WHEN EXPLAINED. But Phonetic Spelling of Name Puz zled Hotel Clerk. The man walked up to the hotel register and signed his name, with a flourish, “E. K. Phthoiognyrrh.” “Look here, Turner," said the clerk, who knew him very well, -‘‘is somebody on your track? Where did you get that outlandish name?" “My boy, you’re slow,” replied Tur ner, airily. “That’s my same old name, written in plain English and pro nounced as it is written—just Turner. Look at it. Of course I do it just to make people guess. They wonder about my nationality and the pronun ciation of my name. I can hear them talk about it. But, as I said before, it’s English spelling.” “Will you kindly explain?” asked the clerk. " ‘Phth,’ there is the sound of ‘t’ in ‘phthisis,’” began Turner; " ‘olo,’ there is the sound of ‘ur’ in ‘colonel;’ ‘gn,’ there is the ‘n’ In ‘gnat;’ ‘yrrh’ is the soimd of ‘er’ In ‘myrrh.’ Now’ if that does not sped Turuer what does it speil ?” “Well,” said the clerk, “it is luchy for me that the majority of men don't register their names phoneti cally.” Answered the Description. He was dining at a foreign hotel, when a detective approached and said: “Beg pardon, sir, I am in search ot an escaped conrict, and Ehall have to trouble you for your passport as a matter of form.” “But do I look like a convict?” “Possibly not, sir. Still, I shall re quire to see the passport" The Englishman, in his annoyance, snatched tip the hill of fare from the table, thrust it in the detective’s hand, and exclaimed : “There it is, then!” “■What is this? ‘Sheep’s head, neck of mutton, pig’s feet.' The description tallies exactly; you must come along with me.” Samuel SchwaIm, who was disinher ited by his father because he deserted the Democratic party, died on Thurs day last at his home in Valley View, Pennsylvania, aged 70 years. He went away to the civil war a Democrat, and when he returned he identied himself with the Republican party.. One of the essentials of tne happy homes of to-day is a fund of information as to ngnt livmg and the best methods of promoting health and happiness. . With proper knowledge, each hour of recreation, of enjoyment and of. effort maybe made to contribute to that end and are of not less value than the using of the most wholesome foods and the selecting of the best medicinal agents when needed. With the well-informed, medicinal agents are used only when nature needs assistance and while the importance of cleansing the system effectually, when bilious or constipated, has long been known, yet until within recent years it was necessary to resort to oils, salts, extracts of roots, barks and other cathartics which were found to be objectionable and to call for constantly increased quantities. Then physicians having learned that the most excellent laxative and carminative principles were to be found in certain plants, principally in the leaves, the California Fig Syrup Co. discovered a method of obtaining such principles in their purest condition and of presenting them with pleasant and refreshing liquids in the form most acceptable to the system and the remedy became known as— •Syrup of Figs—as figs were used, with the plants, in making it, because of their agreeable taste. This excellent remedy is now rapidly coming into universal use as the best of family laxatives, because it is simple and wholesome and cleanses and sweetens the system effectually without disturbing the natural functions and without unpleasant after effects and its use may be discon tinued when it is no longer required.AU who would enjoy good health and its blessings should remember that it is the one remedy which physicians and parents well-informed approve and recommend and use and which they and their little ones - alike er.joy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial (fffeets. Syrap of Figs is for sale by aU reliable druggists, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, in original packages only, having the name of the remedy—-Svrup of Figs—and the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. f f F ^ o « isv iS Ie, Hf *S & n F r a n c i s c o t C&3*N ew YorlCp N.

An Irish jai vey was driving with an English visitor, who \Vas on his way to spend Christmas with some rela tives in Ireland, on a bitterly cold day In December through the wilds of Connemara. They became quite so ciable on the way, and the native, in a burst of confidence, pointed out a she been where the “best potheen in Con nacht” might he obtained. The Eng lishman, only too glad to get an op portunity of warming himself, offered refreshment, which offer was readily accepted. “ Tis a very cold day in these parts, Pat?” observed the tourist. “ Tls, your honor/’ replied Pat.

When the ehnrcli takes a hand in Irying to force legislation, some preachers go so far as to invoke discipline, but- Ivben members ol their churches actually violate the church discipline nothing is said and done. Kothing like coercion., when it’s needed. Consistency is in deed a jewel. We are afraid many of these preachers who are trying to con trol the Legialaturo of this State when they come to die will be in tbe condition of Cardinal Woolsey, just previous to his demise. They will exclaim, ‘‘Had we served onr God as faithfully as we served the Democratic party He would not have forsaken us In our extremity.’ M. R. Baily who held the posi tion of foreman in the machine room in the Brown Furniture Co. establishment in Salisbury was up on a visit to his father’s family at Cana last week.

It seems he was on bis way to Barbers Junction and gave out, and sat down on the end of a cross tie and was unable to get out of the way , and the engi neer c-ould not stop the ttain. We fear his inj uries will prove fatal. Those who went down toKaleigh, and aided in confiscating and des- torying the property of many of Ihecitizensof-Davie county were unmindful of the Golden Knle, “Do unto others as yon would have them do unto you.” How few there are who live in sigiit- of this golden measure. If it were ealled the “Silver Rule,” it might have more attraction to onr Demo cratic friends, the Pike’s Peak of bust contingent. The special act of the Legislature allowing D. V. Davis to exhibits show all over the state of North Carolina without paying a license tax is a disgrace, and the bill in troduced by A. T, Grantjr., ti repeal the .act should have paassed North Carolina’s legislature giving away special privliges to Demo cratic Tavoiites when it has to go to the Bankrrs of Wall Sreet and pledge the faith and credit of the- state to. pay for Democratic ex travagance is a shame upon those who did it.

Dr. Kimbrough was called in, and on Wednesday Dr. Stokes of Salis bury was in attendance, but left on the evening 'train, not at all apprehensive of fatal results. Hin condition seemed not to improve, anil Dr. Kimbrough remained with him Weduesday night until his death Thtirsday morning, and he tells iisthat he never recovered from Uie shock resulting from the kick. Tise suddenness and sad ness of this death has east a gloom over town and the entire county; for there was not a- more popular and likeable man in Davie county. We have known him since boyhood, anil have always had for him the highest regards. He always met yon with a smile and pleasant word, and when yon parted with him, you felt that a ge ntleman anti friend had gone. Kind, gentle as a woman, you were instinctively drawn to him, and so far as we know, he had not an enemy. Mr. Hanes was a native of Davie, born- near Fulton, he had spent mcst of his life in the county. A few years ago he formed a copartnership with his brother the late B. F. Hanes at Winston, and moved there and manufactured tobacco. About a year ago he retnrn«Hl to Davie, purchased a home in Mccksville and erected a magnifi cent- residence where his wife’s father Ool. Mart Booe formerly lived. He was engaged iu farm ing, and was one of the best iu the county. In the prime of manhood about 52 years of age, he is called away leaving a widow and seven children. He was the nominee lastyear of his party for county commissioner, and the vote he re ceived—running ahead of his tick et, showed his popularity, though defeated. While the writer diff ered with him politically we had nothing but the kindest and high est regards for him as a man. To mm him up truly, he was a per fect gentleman—one of natures noblemen, and we all know and feel that we have lost, a good man Uid friend, and a useful anil en terprising citzien, whose takin away leaves a vacancy hard to all, and which will be long felt by ior town and county. His remains were laid to rest Sataixlay evening after the funeral services had been conducted at the Methodist church by Kevs. Sherrill, Ware and Willson, in the Rose burial ground, in the presence of the lar gest attendance ever witnessed in the county. To his bereaved wife whose loss is ineparable and to his children who have lost a tender, IovingTather we extend onr heart felt sympathy. Peace to his ashes . for he sleepeth the sleep of the righteous. We will miss the true gentleman, the faithful and devot ed husband, the loving affeetiouate father, the true and manly man that he was. I C OUHTY H EWS J ■ Knrfes3 Kews.

Bird, of Marion, in passing through Salisbury told the Sunthathe is nob through with that case of cruelty to convicts be tween Spruce Pine aud Marion, but has other evidence, which was not available at the time of the investigation, and proposes to make it public. It is well. If there is more to this story it should be told, and it is not imposible that there is more. The report to the Legislature was not quite satisfac tory and did not leave a good taste in the mouth.—Charlotte Obser ver. No one need have expected more. In the first place, when the Legislature appointed the com mittee to investigate the matter it ignored all precedent in ignoring the minority party. Not a Bepub liean was appointed- on the com mittee. That of its self indicated something rotton In Denmark. Ir showed conclusively that it was to bo a one sided affair. No one need be surprised at a bad taste being left iu the mouth of every -decent man of the state. Rev. J B.

We were and are apposed to the Watts bill for three reasons. 1st. It is a partisan measure, and the evidence of its partizanry was forcaated by Senator Simmons, and by public utterances of Dem ocrats in the state and before the committee and Legislature. 2nd.. It is a destroyer of-local self-government and iiincriminates against the country, denying to the people iu the country the right to be heard, but gives the towns the right to. vote on the question. And virtually confiscates and des troys every country distillers pro perty, without making any pro vision to paj' him therefore, we hold, that Vvheu a state destroys a mans property it should pay him for it. It is revolutionary, U r- repnblican and in violation of one tbe fundamental principals of a free government. 3d. It is devoid cf any real tem perance feature, anil i3 in the in terest of the town saloon, aud dis lillery, and brands Democracy as an ally of the worse kind of mon opolies and combinations. Itis □ndemoeratie, uurepnblican and iu its present shape infamous. It shows the insincerity of Mr. Sim mons, and every prominent Demo cratic spellbinder in the state, when heretofore, they have gone before the' people denouncing the Republican party as the party of trusts and monoply, and the Watts bill was conceived and passed in the interest of the whiskey trusts, and no doubt they will con tribute Iiberly1 to the Democratic campaign fund in 1904. Mind you the whis key trust has always opposed and fought the North -Garolina Distill ers, and the Watts bill suits the whiskey trust to perfection. m O Tia u s THE COOLEMiE RoBer IiBs at J.

Now. that the Legislature of North Carolina has adjourned and has become a thing of the past, there are some few things I would, like to know. I am reading; the Ripple, Union Republican,'States ville Landmark, News aad Obser ver, Uew York World and a host of other papers and through read ing of them I learn that some o( the members of the last Legislature were so dishonorable and so given over to reprobacy of mind as to get drunk and Jtaydrnuk during the whole session, and that the ex tension of the incoporate limits of Yadkinville was refused, and that “ Williams” in Yadkin county was incorporated with X. Glen Will iams Mayor. Now. the few things that I want to know are: What, are the names of the inebriate members of the late Legislature and Miiat county do they represent? W'here is Will- iams, and who is JT. Glen Willia ms, the mayor? Is he the STitro Glycerine Hicockalorum. that walk ed into a store in Winston-Salem some time ago aud cow hided A. E. Holton without a moment’s warning and without visable cause? Is he a tool in the hands of Demo cracy designated to use the cow hide on Mr. Holton in retaliation for bringing up an indictment in the Federal court against those election officers two years ago. By so doing did he make hiiuseli so near and dear to the Democratic party that the IastLegislature had to reward him for his gallantry and incorporate the little place ot Williams 1 with himself mayor} Does he run a distillery of his own? WherD did the members of the Legislature get their liquor? I heaida sober man of prominence say that he was iu llalaigh two days during the last sessi >n of the Legislatureandit was surprising to see the Pages going out and liriuging in bottles of liquor to the members, I am a sober, law-bid ing citizen and I perfer that sober, conservative men tie selected hen ceforth to make laws, instead of a set of dr;mk.-jn reprobates. Will just say that if Yadkinville wants any favors Irom a Democratic- Legislature, she will have to have within her limits a cow hider. Col, Ham, iu Yadkin Iiipple Farm Labor. Washington Gazette-Messenger: One of our leadingfarmers remark ed this morning that the question of labor and the securing of suffi cient number of the hands to run a crop was fast becoming a serious matter. Last yeai at least half of the pea crop rotted in the fields for the want of hands to gather them, and so many of the negroes were leaving the country and mov ing to town, unless the formers can secure labor from abroad, it looked as if it will be useless to pitch a crop. Rewards for White Caps, Memphis, Tenn., Jan 24.—Gov ernor Longino of Mississippi this morning issued a proclamation offering a reward of $500' each for thearrescand conviction of white- eaps. The rewards are limited to §10,000 in any county. The trou bles are serious. Negroes are be ing forced by the hundreds to leave the lands they have occupied for years. Elsewhere under the caption Farm Labor, a farmer in the eas tern part of the State complains about- the scarcity of labor, and says it looks like it will be useless to pitch a crop. Is any one sur prised at the result? Red shirts, shot guns, aud winchesters have been resorted to and not only ne groes but white Republicans have been threatened, intimidated, rot ten egged, and otherwise ill treat ed by intolerant Democracy. It’s all wroi g. aud the innocent farmer is beginning to suffer. Twentieth century civilization - is getting to a low ebb. Whitherare we drifting. Pross Hotica ParApnl DssigiTir.

At a recent meeting of the Mi chigan Lumberman’s Association held in Detroit the .following re solution was passed without a dis senting vote: ‘‘Resolved. That we extend to the Mfbhigsin forestry commission our cordial aud active assistance iu its worthy-endeavor to secure the necessary legislation which has for its object the development ot a rational and effective system of forestry on the vast areas of land belonging to the State which are not adapted to successful agricul ture. and pledge the commission that we will bring to bear all the influence we can control to impress our representives at Lansing with the importance of this matter and the necessity for immediate action. ” It soems that lumbermen are be- gining to realize that there has been too much -stripping and not enough building up of the forest lands. The wealth of many of the Northeru States lies largely in the great tracts of forest lands, and for years there has been an im mense drain on these, with but little attempt to repair the losses. -The action of this-association will prove of great assistance to Michi gan forestry, and it'may set an ex ample to other States. Tha gov ernment should be encouraged in forming forest reservations on con dition it does not unjustly interfere with any rightful private interest-. —American Farmer. E F. D. NO, I.

THE EXTRA SESSION Tbe Senate Still Talking on the Canal Treaty, The Democratic Senators at their caucus resolved to stand together in the Senate in support of two amend ments to the Panama Canal lYeaty. One of these provides for the modifica tion of the twenty-third article of the treaty so as to insure the control of the canal zone by the United States, and the other enlarges the provision In the fourth article of the treaty which is a disavowal on the part of the United States of any intention to “increase its territory at the expense of Columbia, or of the sister republics in Central or South America,” so as to include Mexico. With reference to the latter amendment there was considerable de bate. Many of the Senators advocated an amendment striking out the provis ion entirely and practically all of them agreed that it bad no plaee In the agreement, -but it was concluded that as it had been incorporated and would probably remain, the best policy would be to make an effort to modify rather than to remove it. Mexico was incor porated because it was urged that the people of that country ere as sensitive as those of any other about maintain ing the integrity of their country and also as much entitled to the guaranty as any other . All the Democratic Senators except Mr. Dubois, Mr. Culberson, Mr. Mor gan, Mr. MeLaurin, Mr. dark, of Arkansas, and Mr. Gibson were pres ent. It was the understanding that all the Democrats would support the two amendments agreed upon, but after they are voted upon individuals shall be at liberty, to vote for or against the treaty as they may. elect. It was also the understanding that some of the Democratic Senators would support some of Senator Mor gan’s individual amendments, but they will do so as individual Senators, not as members of the Democratic caucus. Democratic Senators who participated in the caucus say that whether amend ed or no t,the treaty is sure of ratifica tion. The amendment suggested to the twenty-third article of the treaty giv- twentshrdlu shrdlu shrdlu shrdluluua ing the government of the United States the .exclusive right to police and protect the canal, is,practically that of fered by Senator Bacon on Saturday, with some verbal changes. This amendment makes the control of the United Slates over the canal absolute and exclusive, and its right to police and protect the same, is under no cir cumstances dependent upon the re quest or invitation of the republic of Colombia. The other amendment agreed upon was to article four of the treaty, relat ing to the policy of the United States towards other Central and Southern American republics, the language of the amendment being as follows: "The United States, following their uniform established policy in regard to their sister republic in America, free ly acknowledge and recognize the sov ereignty of the republic of Colombia and disavow any intention to impair it in any way whatever, or to increase their territory at the expense of Co lombia, but most earnestly desire her peace and prosperity.” After the adjournment of the caucus, Senator Gorman, as chairman,. and Senator Carmack, as secretary, of the caucus, gave out the following state ment concerning the last mentioned, amendment; “This amendment qualifies the lan guage of the treaty to the extent of making a simple affirmation of_ the established policy of the government against the policy of territorial ac quisition at the expense of sister, re publics in America, and acknowledges the sovereignty of the republic of Co lombia. There was strong objection to the language of the treaty in this re spect, because it was thought to be an impertinence to enter into an engage ment with Colombia for the protection of other South . American republics, thus in a manner recognizing that re public as the representative of all the others and giving her a sort of primacy among them. "The language of the treaty is also broadened in that the amendment as serts this policy of the United States with reference io all the American re publics while the treaty confines its pledges to these of Centra] and South America, studiously omitting Mexico, which is the republic most sensitive and apprehensive of aggressions on the part of the United States. “The language of the treaty also goes to the extent of declaring it to be the policy of the United States to maintain the separate independence of all the Central and South American re publics, not solely as against European powers, but as against each other. This was believed to be contrarv to the true policy of the United States, which is not concerned with the internal ar rangements of these republics, but only with their defense and protection against the outside world, in accord ance with the principles of the Monroe doctrine.” Treaty A cccpted. Without dotting an “i” or crossing a “t,” even without changing a single punctuation mark, the Senate voted to ratify the treaty with the republic of Columbia, for the construction of an isthmian canal. The vote for ratifica tion was 73 In the affirmative to 5 in the negative. The Senate was in ex ecutive session when the result was announced, so that only the Senators themselves and a few’Confidential em ployes were present. Ail-the Senators announced themselves as; gratified to have the long struggle terminated, but none of them manifested their appre ciation by cheers or hand-clapping. On the contrary, all of them; seemed more concerned about getting away front the chamber than about anything else, so that by the time the Senate could ad journ, which it did almost immediately after the result was announced, most of the Senators had Ieft.their seats and some of them had donned their hats and overcoats. The day was given up almost en tirely to general debate on tbs treaty and in addition to the set speeches made under the general agreement by Senators Morgan and- -Culloin, there were many short speeches and a rather long speech by Senator Daniel; of Vir ginia. 1The only party vote of tlie day was taken on the substitute for article 4, which' was agreed Jppon by the Democratic caucus and had- reference to the acquisition of territory in Cen tral and South America by the United States. There were a number of speeches on this amendment, but it was voted down by qn almost two-thirds majority, the ballot footing up 51 yeas to 27 noes. REPORT MADE OUT.

They were accompanied by a young man, whose name they refused to divulge. He was not arrested. The girls stated that they were friends of two other young men who came to Greensboro from Danville.

BIG RIVER ON TREMENDOUS BOOM The Danger Line Reached at Hany Points end the Father of Waters is Stlil Rising. Memphis, Special.—The flood situa tion in that portion of the Mississippi Valley contiguous to Memphis is ex tremely critical. A veritable sea ex ists in the St. Francis and Mississippi river basins, in Arkansas, extending from the one completely to the other, a distance of many miles. Through this territory the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad runs, but all trains were annulled Tuesday and no as sistance can oe rendered by the rail roads, its tracks being under water near Marion, Ark. At this latter point telegrapn connections still exist to Memphis and the reports that come in over the wire are far from encourag ing. Refugees from the adjacent terri tory are pouring into Marion each hour, asking that boats be sent to their rescue. There is no means of reaching them except by making a breach in the levee near Memphis and this may be done if conditions show no improvement. It is estimated that several hundred persons are sur rounded by water in the flooded Ar kansas territory and that the amount of live stock is heavy in the extreme. Negroes at Marion have become fright ened and almost a panic exists. They have congregated at the depot and in the cabins of the village and refuse to work. A relief train, the last that reached the village, arrived early this morning with 5,000 sacks to be used in damming back the water, but la bor cannot be secured to unload the train. The tracks of the Iron Moun tain and Choctaw Railroads are still open and no trouble has been experi enced. The ’Frisco is detouring it .1 trains over the tracks of the formei system. There seems every indication that all predictions of the stage at this point will be surpassed, as the river is again rising slowly. It was hoped that the crest of the rise was suffi ciently close to Memphis last night for the break in the levee at Trice’s Landing to give relief and cause a fall here. A fall did follow the break, but this was checked. The guage is 39.6 feet, or within one-tenth of the maximum thus far reported. It is feared that the stage will pass 40 feet and the end will probably not then be reached. The weak points in the levee which were reported other than at the break are still in a critical condition and further breaks may-occur. Forces of men, under assistant engineers, are working night and day at these points, and the situation has now resolved itself into a race between the workers and the water. A few floating bodies have been found at various points by the rescuing boats, but the number has not yet been alarming. A true estimate o fthe loss of life by the flood can never be made, as the sections flooded are so vast in area and the population -so widely dispersed that nothing like a census can be made. In this city the situation is growing worse each hour and the water is spreading to sections other than those which were flooded yesterday. Alto gether the situation is most dis couraging and-with tbe water continu ing to rise no relief can yet be hoped for. Teacher Qoes to Jail. Asheville, N. C., Special—Because he refused to be vaccinated and to pay a fine of $25 as imposed upon him by the court. Prof. T. A. Weaver, a well- known citizeii of this county, and a professor at Weaverville College, has gone to jaii. Prof. Weaver believed that the fine was an unjust one and did not intend to submit to it. It is understood that he expects to pay his own living expenses while in jail, though his meals will be sent to him. It is said that- Prof. Weaver will try and make it hot for the Bnmcombe officers whq had him arrested. Borden Elected. Fall River, Mass., Special.—For the third time the Cotton Manufacturers’ Association met and succeeded i: electing the following officers:- Na- tiianial B. Borden, president; George S. Hiles, vice president: Clarence M. Hathaway, secretary and treasurer. Some of those most earnest for.the maintenance of the association, which was on the point of dissolution, de clined to submit to any bylaw which would bind their mills to any agree ment, and this change was defeated. The continuance of the association is looked upon as a victory for the policy of independence in management. Time Extended. New York, Special.—It was officially announced that a majority of tbe members of the Southern Pacific pool had given their consent to extension of time for the existence of the pool to April 10 and the pool has therefore been extended to that time. This will carry the pool over tbe annual meeting which is to be held on April S. The head of the pool, J. R. Keene, is at present in litigation with the Union Pacific over the management of the Southern Pacific lines. An Adverse Report. Washington, Special.—The Senate committee on the judiciary held a a meeting for the purpose of consider ing the nomination of W. M.

AND-WHAT HE MEANT IN THE BUFFALO SPEECH. An Addren Which Has Keen Persistently Perverted to Mean the Abandonment of Protection Tbroogh the Adoption of Competitive Heolproeity- Carefully disregarding and usually omitting such qualifying phrases as those which insist upon preserving the domestic market to the domestic pro ducer, and which deprecate any scheme of foreign trade expansion that shall “injure home industry” or “curtail do mestic production”—phrases which do and were unmistakably intended to in dicate the general tone of strict ad herence to the. principles and policy of protection—the advocates of wide-open reciprocity continue to parade certain parts of President McKinley’s, speech at Buffalo in September, 1901, and to insist that the President in that speech committed himself unreservedly to the scheme of-swapping trade privileges by means, of special tariff concessions. It is not true that President McKinley committed himself or the RepubUcan party to any. such sacrifice or abandon ment of protection. Let us take up that portion of tbe speech most quoted by the advocates of reciprocity in com petitive products and see to what ex tent, if. any, the speech can be properly so construed. “4 . system w h id provides a mutual exchange of commodities is manifestly essential to the continued healthful growth of out export trade.” That system we already have. AVe mutually exchange commodities to the extent of close upon a billion dollars a year. Out of the billion dollars’ worth of merchandise which we annually buy of foreign countries nearly fifty per cent, is admitted free of duty. Add to the billion dollars’ worth which we buy the $200 ,000,000 which we pay every year to foreign steamships for carrying ninety-two per cent, of our commerce and the total makes us out to be the most liberal buyer of foreign goods of auy nation in the world. “AYe must not repose in fancied se curity that we can forever sell every thing and bny little or nothing.” AVe are very far from reposing in any such security. As already stated, we buy in merchandise and freights about $1,200,000,000 a year. AVe buy even more than this, for our tourists spend abroad about $75,000,000 a year, and we are paying $75,000,000 more eacfi year in tits shape of interest and divi dends on American bonds and invest ment stocks owned abroad. The total, then, of what we actually buy each year is brought up to about $1,350,000,- 000. That would hardly be called “lit tle or nothing.” “Reciprocity is tiie natural outgrowth of our wonderful industrial develop ment under the domestic policy now firmly established.” True, provided it is the right kind ot reciprocity, that is, in articles which we do not ourselves produce, or non competitive reciprocity. Reciprocity in competitive products would be a dis tinctly unnatural outgrowth of our wonderful industrial development, an absolute negation of the domestic pol icy now firmly established. "The period of exclusiveness is past.” Undoubtedly it is. A country which buys every year from the rest of the world $1,350,000,000 would not, we think, lie called an “exclusive” coun try. “The expansion of our trade and com merce is the pressing problem.” Yes, and we are solving that problem In the most thorough and satisfactory manner. In the last fire and a half years of protection we have made mighty strides in the expansion of our trade and commerce. For 1901 our total exports were .1,460,402,806, agaiust a total of $793,392,590 for 1895; a gain of $607,070,210, or about eighty- four per cent. How is that for solu tion of a pressing problem? “Commercial ware are unprofitable.” Truer word was never spoken. Hoiv to avoid them? Treat every nation ex actly alike, mid require at the hands of every nation equally fair and im partial treatment. This done, there can be no such thing as commercial wars _for our country. “A. policy of good will and friendly trade relations will, prevent reprisals.” Good will and friendly trade rela tions are best conserved by strict ad herence to the policy of non-discrimina tion, non-favoritism. You excite jeal ousy, irritation and reprisals when by siiccial treaty agreement yop admit the goods of one nation at a lower rate of duty than that imposed upon the com petitive goods of another nation. Com mercial peace'and amity are disturbed by such unfair and impolitic trade ar rangements. For every friend secured you make several enemies,. says -An drew Carnegie. “Reciprocity treaties are in harmony with the spirit of the time; measures of retaliation are not.” Yes; reciprocity treaties arranged with countries producing articles which we “do not ourselves produce,” no others. Reciprocity thus cqnfincd .and prescribed-creates no bad blood ,^in spires no. retaliation. AVe shell never peed to resort to measures OY retalia tion so long as we treat everybody alike and give offense to nobody. ' No one can now say what Was .in William McKinley’s mind when, h i made that speech in Buffalo. What was not in his mind, may, howeveiv be fairly known or inferred. It was not in his- mind to favor or advocate reciprocity in competitive products, the sacrifice of one industry for the benefit of another industry, the aban donment Of the principles for which he had stood all his life long: Equal and just protection to all industry and all laboi-. That much is morally cer tain.

A ’phone message from the country to High Point Friday evening said that William Holt, who lived near High Point, and a negro man met a horrible death together. Mr. Holt and the negro were engaged in cutting feed on a steam cutter when the fly wheen burst, cutting off both of Mr. Holt’s legs and killing the negro in stantly. Mr. Holt lingered an hour or more. Lane Morgan shot and instantly killed John Richardson near Candor, Montgomery county, Saturday. The two men were at the home of Marshal vitman. whose wife is Richardson’s sister. Morgan drew a revolver and crying: You killed my brother and I’ll kill you.” shot Richardson dead A few months previous Richardson had killed a half brother of Morgan. Frank S. Eldridge, whose home is in Greensboro, has been missing for the past three weeks and it is feared that he is dead. He went to Philadel- phia some time ago to visit relatives and wrote his wife from there that he would stop over in Richmond on his return. Investigation showed he had not been in Richmond. It was later ascertained that the train on which Mr, Eldridge was believed to have left Philadelphia was wrecked and two men killed, and it . is feared he was one of them. A. L. Gilmore, the Chicago attorney for the gold brick trio, Howard, Haw ley and Daley, captured at Greens boro two years ago and sentenced to the penitentiary, writes that he is making an effort to have their case, which has been carried to the Su preme Court of the United States, ad vanced so as to give an early hearing. Gilmore desires the influence of Ju’dge Boyd in this matter, but it is hardly probable that his wish will be grati fied. It is understood that one of the contentions upon which , the case will rest before the Supreme- Court will be that- the trial judge erred in sentenc ing the gold brick men to the peniten tiary instead of to the roads. Policeman Frank George, one of the most courageous officers, on the police force of Wiimington, was violently ^assaulted by .a desperate negro, whom 'he had arrested in a colored eating, house Saturday evening. The officer’s scalp was laid open to the bone for a distance of about two inches as the. result of a blow from a pair of metal knucks and his shoulder was severely contused by being thrown violently to the brick sidewalk after he had been stricken and rendered unconscious from the blow with knucks. Tbe ne gro made his escape but was cap tured. two and a half miles from the city, Saturday midnight. Mr. L. L. Lowrance. a foreman em ployed by the South Atlantic Con struction Company, .engaged in the company work on Wilson’s creek in Caldwell county, was. instantly killed Friday in making a blast. Froin ac counts received, .it seems that a blast of six charges, using seven kegs of powder and thirteen sticks of dyna mite, were set off. Five of the charges exploded. Thinking them all fired, Mr: Lowrance was leading the force of hands to the cut in which they were working, and wben within ten or fif teen feet of the blast, the sixth charge exploded, killing him instantly. No one else Was seriously hurt. .The body was taken to Maiden, the home of Mr. L-owrance. Strange to say, the .Southern Rail way-won a suit in court Friday morn ing, C. H.

Chairman Reece called the Democnitic Executive committee of Tadkin county together the Irt Monday in January and that body selected three men to be recommen ded as members of the Board of Bducatiou for Tadkin county, but when the appointments were pub lished we find for Tadkin—H. W. Douglas, L. A, Speiis and M. L. Woodhouse. The " first named gentleman has' been dead over a year, the second has but recently resigned from the board because he did not want the place, Mr. Woodhouse, the third man, is a good man and all right. The Democrats of Tadkin were treated with little consideration by the Legislature and now the State Board of Education gives them a slap in Jhe face and appoints a dead man and a resigned man, utterly disregarding the numerous good men suggested by Democrats from the eonuty in which the board will serve. It seems that none of our people can explain this absolute failure to consieler the wishes of the Democrats of the county, but the opinion can be heard on ail sides that the Bepub lican majority in Tadkiu will be greatly increased.

D, Watts meddled iu this appointment and got the above named gentlemen on the board, -which was not in con formity with the will of the Demo crats of this county. Whilo the representatives from this connty- were not in political accord with the dominant party, they were gentlemen and thoroughly capable of attending to the county’s affairs without the assistance of Watts of Iredell.—Tadkin Bipple, The idea that a man cannot be a democrat and run a government distillery is a most shocking <>uo. These revenue agents and other Bepablican officials who give ont such imformation are not lit to' hold any job under the laws of this, country.—Davidson Dispatch. The above reminds us of some thing we once saw in the books “If a Monk should be taken for stealing of bacon, for burglary, arson or rape. If he could but ie- peat, right well his neck verse ne could not fail to escape.” If the above from the Ditvidson Dis patch is true, it seems that it has taken the general public a long time to find it out. And if it has the semblance of truth in it Be- publicaus must be trying to imitate the Democrats under Mr. Cleve land, for Democratii.* revenue offi cials made it warm tor Kepnbiioans nneler Mr. Cleveland. Suc.h dis crimination was. unheard of until then to any extent. We know it was practiced then lor all it was worth. And in the name ot coal man sense and decency how can a Democratic editor opeu his mouth about such things, when lie has his own party record before him Mr. Simmons gave as a re,".son for shuttiBg up distilleries in the country, “that they -w ere B a d ic a l recruitins sta tions.” Others in the legislature proclaimed the object of the bill, that it was to strengthen Demo cracy. Shame, shame, upon s c rowd who has the record of the Democracy, and then talk about1 others. The Dispatch and his crew* should first get the beam out oftliier own eyes,befoie attempting to get the mote out of other peoples eyes. The people are fast awaken ing to the realization of things as they are, and a reeoniiig is in stove for the deceivers. Coolesiace Items.
