The saloon is not, per se, a public nuisance. A saloon may be conducted iu such a way as to make it a nuisance (as some of them are), in which case it should not be tolerated, No mau has the right to sell liquor or to drink liquor in such a way as to create a public nuisance. It will be observed that we are still engaged in stilting facts. We are not deuyiug that the absuse of liquor constitutesa great evil; that it is repousible for nuicli suffering and for much errne, nor are we deuyiug that the greatest evil of the liquor traffic is in the ogpn saloon. These'are facts also to lie reckoned with in considering the liquor question. But we can­ not abolish alcohol and we cannot abolish the evils of ale >hol. It is therefore merely a qnestion of how to reduce these evils to the mini­ mum. For oir part we do not be­ lieve in prohibition; we do not be­ lieve in the doctrine of prohibition because prohibitionists ate intoler­ ant aud they are undemocratic aud too often they are fanatical. Nor do we believe in prohibition as an efficient meaus of getting rid of the liquor evil. It was tried in the State of Kew Hampshire for geuer&ti us, and hut recently it was abandoned in favor of high li­ cense. Ifit had been a remedy for the evil surely the Puritanical population of Sew ‘ Hampshire would uever liave abandoned it. But iu spite of all that, we believe iu local self-government, and we are willing that each and every community shall.decide tliis ques­ tion for itself. If the dominant sentiment ie auy community is in favor of abolishing the saloon, we are willing fur oar part that the major.ty shall rule, and were sueh a law iu force iu the community in BrIiich we live, we should obe,\ it and uphold it. But we do not believe that it is wise to attempt to enforce any law which is uot back ed by public sentiment. To do so, is to tempt men to evade and defy the law, and that is nrjse demo raliziug than the evil which is sought to abolish. Our mainob lection to the SIanu bill is that it is not a fair means oi ascertaining public seutimeut, aud we are clear­ ly of the opinion that it is in vio­ lation Of the spirit, at least, of the snfferage clause of the Constitution which provides that all elections shall be by secret ballot. To cir­ culate a petition under the provi­ sions ol the Maun bill would be to all intents and purposes to hold a loeai option election, and the ob­ ject of an election is to ascertain the houtst sentiment ot the people vottog. Iu many instances you tail to get at the honest sentiment of a .voter unless you put hirn iu a private booth aud let him make out his ballot without the eye of man upou him. It is one thing to vote in secret and quite another to sgga a petition which jwiil be filed as a. JiiatU r of court record.—The Riehxiioud Times-Dispatch. boys on the streets, congregated in ] places vliere they eome in contact with the vices, and sooner or later, the character of the child is form­ ed aud when he grows up beyond your control a drinker aud a bad boy, you curse the whiskey and charge it all to others. Keep your children as much as possible nud»r your eye, and inculcate right views and principles, and you will nine cases out-of ten, make him what he should be, and what you would have him be. The world is sever­ al thousand years old, aud crime aud criminals have not been sup­ pressed by legal enactment. The capital felouies are on the increase yet they are punishable with death. You can lead the people in a free country, but you will meet with opposition if y ou attempt, to coerce aud drive them. THAT FAriOUS LEGISLATURE. Th3 Hotley Grew Had a Long Frolic—Drank a Qood Deal of Liquor—Precious Lit­ tle Done for the Glory Cf the Stale. TheLegislature has adjourned. We give the top of the morning to old Eather Time. We shall b.; compelled to modify a previously expressed opiuion of this body ot iaw-ma&ers. It is hardly worthy to be called a fairly good Legisla­ ture. There was a paiufnl lack of leadership in either House or Sen­ ate. It was a motley crew that beat abont iu the dark like an army lost in the woods. There .vere some men of talent in both houses, to be sure, but no tower­ ing and commanding figure devel­ oped anywhere. As a whole the gentlemen were hardly average specimens of Xorth Carolina state- mensbip. The record made l>y the Legislature on the one supreme moral issue was childish and un­ worthy. They were swept off their feet by the organized force of the liquor power. They made load aud high professions of loy­ alty to temperance but ran like rats wheu the ti neof testing came. Wejudge that uever ic the history of the State have the best people been so sorely disappointed, nor did the people ever breathe a sigh of moie genuine relief when it was announced that the thing had gone to pieces and the members had scattered to their homes. They had a good froiic in Baleigh and drank a good deal of liquor, hut precious little was .done for the glory of the State. Of course we are speaking broadly of the body. There were some members of the illustrious aggregation who are as nonest and faithful and true as can be found iu the State. They found themselves overwhelmed by worse men and were powerless to stem the tide. But as a whole the General Assembly of 1903 will not tie a very fragrant ineuory after its work has been carefully reviewed and its action carefully weighed by the peopie whom they were sent to llaleigh to represeut,—Cha­ rity aud Ohildcen- Wilieto I t0lIhiuie tba end, alee hoi will to exist, meu will con in such a, way popular .demand to sell it ami so it ail coiaes rJ? at *:lst to tbe question of iWitiug the Hale as^ suPplyiSitll lojKl. s>i .,.Ause t0 t|108e whor!.toth,:twffice’loilin his eomnnsuiea- Witl1 llluS?1 is a public nuisanee. * ne'i"1* <1Ue there wotlW be %|.y„"f (he Mami bill or any jllU fur.••I*, : 1Iiton a public nuisance without special sta vuouSli, .Mr. ,w« asserti,,,, enHct men t.

Lowell, Mass., Special.—Acting un­ der ,the law,* the State board of arbi­ tration and conciliation formally re­ quested the; mill agents and the Tex­ tile Council of this city to submit the question of a wage increase in the cot­ ton mills in the city to arbitration, to avoid a strike next Monday. Both sides have the request under consider­ ation. Very slight hope, however, is entertained by the citizens of Lowell that the State board’s request will- be granted. The mil! agents repeatedly have expressed their opinions that a wage increase is impossible and the textile council having in view last years’ result of a civic board of arbi­ tration has said since receiving the re­ quest that it did not care to be trap­ ped as they say they were last year, when after a strike was declared off nothing was done to advance their in­ terests. • Hay Be Hanged.

VICK LOSES HIS JOB Dr. Person Succeeds to the WDsonl N. C.. Postoffice COLORED POSTMASTER GOES OUT; The Vick Case Has Attracted Much Attention in All Sections of the Country, Washington, Special.—What is re­ garded as the closing act In Senator Pritchard’s’fight against “the elements of darkness” as represented by Post­ master Vick, of Wilson, the last of. the negro" officials of any consequence in North ..Carolina, took place Tuesday, when" the President named Dr. B. T. Person to succeed the colored offl- -cial. - The Vick case attracted attention among all. North Carolinians as soon as Pritchard asked for the negro’s re-.- moval, for the reason that it was real­ ized that it was a contest between the Senator, representing the “lily whites,” on the one-hand, and. the negro ele­ ment of the Republican party on the other, but it soon ceased -to be a Stote affair, and took oh a national aspect. Correspondents" for papers In all parts of the country wore soon hot after every detail of the dottiest and it seem? ed that Senator trifchard Sad the. fight of his life on hand, as the President had in other Statte apparently admin- compared with -the -fact tl\at he is a whites, and natioha'l leaders of the party were siding with Vick. Pritch­ ard, however,, .stood his. ground,, pud the removal of Vick is a distinct vic­tory for hls.policy, as it is realized that he made the fight upon the. negro post­ master -primarily because he' is black. The charges brought against Vick’s party fidelity were mere, side issues as compared with the fact that he is a negro. . . . . • ; The appointment of D rZ1Petson would doubtless.,have been made some weeks ago but for the fact that it was’ charged that "be was not a bona fide resident, of Wilson.-■ I t .was, however,- established to the satisfaction of the Postoffice Department that he had not moved his residence at the time he was said -tq be living in another locality and his appointment followed.

AN IRISH LAND BILL A Measure Introduced That Will Be of Vast Benefit PROPOSES A LARGE MONEY GRANT. The Irish Secretary Introduces the Government Land Bill Into British House ot Commons. London, By Cable.—The Irish Secre­ tary, Mr. Wyndham, introduced the government’s long-anticipated Irish land bill in the House of Commons Wednesday afternoon. It proposes a grant of $60,000,000 for the purposes of the bill. Tenants are to pay 3% per cent, interest on loans from the gov­ ernment. Mr. Wyndham said he thought the scheme w’ould not involve over $500,000 ,000 , but that $750,000,000 could be safely advanced on Irish land. Advances to tenants are limited to $2,- 500 in the congested districts and $5,- 000 elsewhere. The bill also provides that untenanted farms and grazing land shall be sold to neighboring ten-' ants and that three commissioners to be known as estate commissioners shall supervise the sales. The name of the three commissioners are Michael Fin- aune, secretary to the government’s Bengal general and statistical depart­ ment; Frederick S. French, one of the Irish land commissioners, and William F. Bailey, one of the assistant commis­ sioners on the Irish land commission. They will be under the general control of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. They will become effective November 1st. The keen interest felt in this new legislation, which it is hoped will pro­ mote peace and contentment in Ire­ land, was shown by the crowded House. The peers’ gallery, and the distinguish­ ed strangers’ gallery were filled and there has been no such gathering of members of Parliament since the open­ ing of the session. In the diplomatic gallery sat United States Secretary Henry White, an interested spectator, while almost every Irish peer listened to Mr. Wyndham’s exposition of the bill. From an early hour this morning, the stone benches from the House of Commons entrance to the doors of the lobby, were packed with impatient •Irishmen, among whom were many presidents. Most of these went away without even seeing the inside of the legislative chamber, the galleries of which were crowded as has not been the case for many a day. Michael Davitt, the “father” of the Land League, celebrated his 57th birthday by re-entering the House for the first time since he ceased to be a member, in or­ der to hear the Chief Secretary for Ire­ land unfold his plans. For the most part the Liberal mem­ bers sat glum, the applause coming from the Irish benches. A hush of ex­ pectation fell on the assembly as John Redmond, the Irish leader, rose to speak. If he refused to countenance the bill, its death and perhaps even the government’s downfall, was de­ creed. When the galleries of the House found him sympathetic and non-com­ mittal, a feeling of relief pervaded all sides. W hat Sir Henry Campbell- Bannerman, the Liberal leader, and the others said had little effect. ’ T. W. Russell, who with others criticised the details and various omissions in Mr. Wyandham’s plan, wound up .with a guttural and reluctant admission that “it is a great bill.” The passage of the first reading of the bill was followed by the rush to the lobby, where ensued scenes that might well make the ghost of Parnell turn in his grave. The tall form of Lord Dudley, Lord Lieutenant of Ire­ land, could be seen amidst a crowd of Nationalists, who scarcely a year ago would rather, have suffered anything than discussed with the official head of the Irish party any question. Beside Lord Dudley-stood the grizzled little Sir Anthony McDonnell, the First Na­ tional Assistant Irish Secretary. Mr. Wyandham, who was heartily cheered when, he arose to speak in the House, announced at the outset that the government thought cash aid was necessary for the fulfillment of the pro­ posed scheme, but it attached greater importance to the credit operation than to the cash operation. He then unfolded the scheme, which provides for advances of money for the pur­ chase of land by the tenants. The ad­ vances will be in toe shape of cash and not of stock, but in. order to ; enable the cash to be raised a new stock is to be floated. It will be called “guaran­ teed” 2% per ’cent, stock and will be" redeemable for 30 years. Mr. Wynd­ ham doubted if $500,000,000 of the stock would be needed. It will be issued at the rate of $25,000,000 yearly for the first three years and afterwards possi­ bly in larger sums. In addition to this the government proposed a free grant of $60,000,000 to be saised by additions to the stock, the interest a'nd sinking fund which will be borne by the Treasury, and the maximum annual charge of which will not exceed $1 - 950,000. Against this charge on the British Treasury the Irish government proposes forthwith to commence * re­ ductions in the cost of administration amounting to $1,250,000 per annum for­ever.

More Fighting Reported. San Domingo, Republic of Santo Do­ mingo, By Cable.—The inhabitants of this city were again thrown Into a ,state of alarm this afternoon by the fact that further -fighting is taking place at San Calos, near here. A com­ mission has left San Domingo for Azua and Barahona ,on the "warship Inde- pendencia in order to hrmg. about the- surrender of those places. The warship Colon has left here for San Pcdro do Marcoris in order to compel that town to surrender. IF WELL, WHY TAKE TARIFF TIN. KERjNG MEDICINE? Democrata -Know Better Than to Preaeh TarIir Revision Very H uoli — They“T BeavoThattoBepuW ieansor the Iowa ..progressive’’ School. When other exciting topics ajte lack­ ing the disposition in certain quarters Is to take up the tariff question for discussion and exploitation. The agony in the coal market, the complication jn Venezuela, Cuban reciprocity and vari­ ous other subjects have of late bees sufficiently diverting to keep the tariff in the background, but it is probably a question of only a short time when we may expect more tariff talk. And strange as it may seem, the chief fomenters of wliat will surely bring trouble are Republicans. The Demo­ crats have learned by experience, pain­ fully fresh in memory, that the people do not take kindly to tariff revision. The Democrats just now are maintain­ ing a silence that is truly impressive In regard to this subject. Perhaps they are content that the Republican ex­ ponents of revision are pulling the chestnuts in their direction faster and more satisfactorily than they could .do it for themselves. And the Western States, chiefly Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota, seem productive of other­ wise good Republicans, who are willing to play the pussy cat role to the Demo­ crat monkey. Soberly and seriously, w hat is the sense or the reason or the occasion of advocating a revision of the tariff at this* time? Is there a popular demand for It on the part of employers or the great army of employes? Do the people want the tariff re­ vised because wages are low and em­ ployment hard to find at any price? Do manufacturers w ant it because trade is dull and they are unable to find ready sale for their product except at ruinous-rates? Are the business interests of the country demanding it because capital is idle? Is the volume of our export trade decreasing? Are imports so reduced, or is the tar­ iff so high that the National revenues from duties collected are insufficient to pay the running expenses of the Gov­ ernment? No, none of these conditions exist. Indications that a revision of the tariff is necessary for the welfare of the peo­ ple are absolutely lacking. Then why agitate the tariff question? If the pa­ tient be not sick, why dose him with medicine? The last tariff revision in the direc­ tion of free trade was made in the second Cleveland administration, "a matter of ten years ago, The mere recollection of w hat happened after that is sufficient to send the cold chills cantering up and down the spinal col­ umns of the most of us. The general disposition in California and Maine alike, in Florida as well as iu Oregon, would be to call out the troops, the police, the fire department—everything and everybody that could carry a gun or an axe, to resist a repetition of the experiences of ten years ago. Then why tempt fate as well as fortune by an agitation which it is generally con­ ceded will bring a return of panic con­ ditions and hard times? Four years after the disastrous Cleve­ land administration revision of the tariff we had another revision along protection lines. Under, the beneficent Influence of the Dingley law, trade and industry, domestico and foreign com. inerce—everything revived, everybody became prospeious. Since its enact­ ment this country has had a period of business and industrial activity not paralleled in the annals of the world. The hewer of wood has felt it and en­ joyed it as well as the captains in the financial world; the farm er and the city man -have together grown hearty under its purse filling and comfort giv­ ing sway. Instead of a deficiency in the Government revenues we have .had a surplus ever since the DihgIey law was enacted.- Instead of the balance of trade being In favor of the foreigners it has been on" our side apd In volume greater than was . our total foreign trade a few years ago. American goods have gone abroad as.never be­ fore, and our. foreign market is ex­ panding beyond the fondest dreams. Our domestic commerce, as shown by the bank clearings, the earnings of rail­ roads and various other good signs, was never so great, never so active, never more profitable. Our labor is employed nforc fully than ever before ’and at wages higher than any of the records’show for the past. The farm­ ers are prosperous to a degree that makes them all optimists. In fact, the conditions are so extremely favorable that even the Populists have retired from the field in discouragement and disgust, fully realizing that calamity arguments are out of place. The Ding- Iey tariff has proven a most excellent Institution for the country and for ev­ erybody in jt. AVhy interfere with It? Why not leave a good thing alone? Does not the. advice of the aneients Warn us against fussing vrith that which is well enough, judging condi­ tions by results? Those who are exploiting tariff re­ vision at this time argue that prices are too high and that a reduction In the tariff is needed" to bring them down. Many commodities are higher in price, but isn’t the reason for it to be found in the tremendously increased consum­ ing capacity which prosperity has given the American people? Six years ago the complaint was that prices were too low, and prices were low then because even though a person did want to buy "he lacked, the funds—the home market was dead, the.foreign market limited; and without a market products of the farm and the factory" alike went beg­ ging for what they would bring." The American people have money now, ar.d they are spending.it, and the price lists of wearing apparels and. 6f vegetables, of furniture and . of steel rails, of meat and of" building materials, are arranged in accord with that old law which neither agitator, nor reformer has yet suceecded-in repealing—the law of sup­ ply and demand. AVhen production equals demand, and the home market has been fully supplied, prices no doubt will sag. It is xtossible this result can be more quickly attained by admitting foieigu made goods more freely, by an agitation ot the tariff question, with its inevitable curtailment and panic— ,b u t vvlio wants lowei'-prices at. such a cost?

It has been on the statute books less than Si1 years. It should be allowed to remain until business conditions indicate th« a change is needed.

Wnen supply overtakes demand in the steel industry, so that die American product is equal to or iu excess of the demands of this market, should Hicre be a reduction of tariff duties in re- spouse to the demands ut' tariff re- formers, it would encourage the damp­ ing of Euroiican surplus slocks nnou the American market at a price lower than the domestic manufacturer conld meet. Every ton of this surplus, a disposed of here, would take the ite of an equal amount of the American product and thus operate to reduce the American output and limit die opiior. tunities for employment of Americau workmen. Wlieu supply overtakes demauil, "American manufacturers should not be criticised, but rather encouraged, to dump their surplus supplies, if any they have, upon any market which can absorb them, even at a price much below that xiaid at home, and eveuat a loss, rather than that such a surphu should remain in the marker, depress­ ing Jiriees below the margin of fair profit, and thus soon or late forcing a reduction in production. SiuIi reduc­ tion in iiroduction would mean the loss of employment to many; the ivdiidion of consumption iu other dcpurtiiiruu ,of trade, through a reduction in the consumptive capacity of those engaged in the iron and steel industry, mid a general disturbance to trade, which would proceed with a cumulative effect through every avenue of industry.- SeattIe Post-Intelligencer. , ltot With Hie r.lule I! li-kct.

The quarterly dividend which Stan­ dard Oil shareholders are now receiv­ ing is S*20. a sbarq. The amount dis­ tributed is . 520,000,000. If the same rate continues through the year, there will-be paid §50.000.000 on the $100.- 000.000 , which by vast initation stands as the capital of the trust. It cannot be said that these enormous profits are .earned. They are not earned, but extorted' froni the people. The past year has offered peculiar opportuni­ ties.'for. this trust. The coal shortage compelled the people to return to other fuel, and oil was the most convenient in every way. Taking advantage, of the necessities of the public, the Standard Oil Trust raised the price.of its pro­ duct from time to time, until at tbc height of the fuel famine the price of j oil was the highest for many years i past.

An Opportunity In the South for Ma­ chinery Dealers. In A letter to the Manufacturers’ Reoord Mr. D. Gk Purse, chairman of the committee of arrangements for the Interstate Sugar-Cane Growers’ Con­ vention, which Is to meet at Macon, Ga., on May 6 and to continue in ses­ sion for three days, announces that ample provision will be made to bring manufacturers of syrup and sugar ma­ chinery into close touch there with delegates to the convention from South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala­ bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas. He adds: “In South Carolina, Georgia and Florida the growing of sugar-cane and its mnufacture has already reached a point where crude niethods must give way to more complete machinery, but the evolution is not ready yet, aucl may not he for several years, for the very heavy machinery now in use in strict­ ly sugar-manufacturing sections. As the areas planted increase from acre plots to ten, twenty-five and fifty acres and upward, as is going on now through these three States, especially the present season, will compel the purchase of much nerv machinery, and the occasion will afford an unexcelled opportunity for adapting the new ma­ chinery exactly to the needs of the situation, I hope this opportunity will he freely availed of by the manufac­ turers of syrup and sugar machinery throughout the country convenient of access to the sugar-cane belt. “The division of chemistry of the Department of Agriculture will soon be; in the market for the full equip­ ment of a cane mill and syrup factory at Wayeross, Ga.” Referring to the same subject in a letter to the Manufacturers’ Record, President E. L. Mailin of the Cham­ ber of Commerce of Macon writes that the governors of all the canc-growing States have appointed five delegates from each county, and that it is ex­ pected that between 1,000 and 1.500 delegates will bo present, a half-fare rate having been granted' from all points east of the Mississippi and south of the Potomac river. President Martin also notes the opportunities at the convention for manufacturers of machinery. A $50,000 Addition. It is announced that the Pee Dee Manufacturing Co., Rockingham, N.

Tt is noticed that the Davie Becord published at Mocksville, has nominated Hon. Jeter C. Prit­ chard for Govrnor of Xorth Cai-O Iina in 1904, from which it is in t'erred that the news of the ex-Se uator’s probable appointment to a place on the Supreme Court beuch ot the District of Columbia has not yet reached DSyie county. The above was clipped from the Greensboro correspondence to the Charlotte Observer. Davie is not as much in the back woods as our friend would suppose. We keep in pretty close touch with the •,eneral news, and while we may not know as much as the Greens­ boro correspondent, “we know where we are at.” Senator Prit­ chard richly deserves any honor that may befall him, and will re­ flect credit upon himself and his people. If he desires the Judge­ ship, and the vacancy occurea and the President tenders it we will rejoice at his success, but should this not take place and he is a private citizen of IT. C., in 1904, we hope he can be induced to be­ come.. the' standard bearer of the Republican party, fir he would make a great campaign and a great and safe executive of old Korth Carolina. The Republicans are not lacking in men for this place, but we regard Senator Prit­ chard the strongest man we could name for the place. Ex-Lieutenant Governor C. A.

RESOLUTIONS Adopted by Mocksville Lodffe No. 134 A. F A. M- Philip IIanes was born iu Davie County, North Carolina on the first day of May ISal. He was the son of A. M. and March Hanes and spent the great­ er pait of his life on the farm in Davie County. On the 7th day of February 1878, he was happily married to Sallie C. Booe eldest daughter of A. M. and Sarah Booe. As the frnit of this union, eight childien were born to them, all of whom except one survive him. On theSrd day of April 1877, Borther Hanes was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason in Mocksville Lodge No. 134 and ever afterward walked and acted as such. For more than thirty years he was a consistent member of the Methodist chcrch and was abund­ ant in every good word and work. Always kind and hospitable, he was the friend of every one who knew him. He-had clear convic­ tions and was very decided on all questions, yet it was iu modesty and without intruding his views unnecessarily upon others. He was & perfect type of honesty and scorned every thing that was low and vulgar. He was always busy in the foe tory or on the farm. He was not ashamed of work and whatever his hands found to do. he did it with his might. By his energy and perseverance, he accumulated much of the comforts of this world and withal gave to charity with a most liberal hand. His life at home was most beautiful andiii peace and harmony he spent many happy years with his brethren in Masonry. He died at his home in Mocks­ ville ou the Ilth day of March 1S03, aged 51 years, lOmos. and 9 days. As he lived, so he passed quietly and peacefully from earth into the presence of Him, whose he was and whom lie served. As a token of our esteem for his rnomory, be it: Resolved I. That we wear the usual badge of burning for thirty days. ' x 2. That we dedicate a page of our minute book to his menory. 3. That we express to the wid­ ow and surviving friends our sym- paty in their great bereavemenj and assure them that we mourn with them as f Jr a brother beloved and that we cherish the reflection that “in his virtuous and holy life, we have comfort and consola- ion.” 4. That a copy of the« resolu­ tions be sent the family of the deceased'aud to our couuty papers and the “Orphans Friend” with request that the same be published, T. B. Bailey, M. D.

THE FESTIVAL OF EASTER - WHY AND WHEN WE OBSERVE IT did not long continue in the state of death, but on the third day, by His Infinite power, did revive and raise Himself, by reuniting the same soul to the same body which was bnried, and so rose the same Man. Hope is a beautiful meteor, and like the rainbow, it is not only lovely be­ cause of its seven rich and radiant stripes, but as the memorial of a cove­ nant entered into betwen man and his Maker, telling us we were born for immortality, destined, unless we se­ pulchre our greatness, to the highest honor and noblest happiness. Hope proves man deathless. It is the struggle of the soul breaking loose from what is perishable and at­ testing her eternity, and when the eye of the mind is turned upon Christ, delivered for our offences and raised I again for our justification, the unsub- I stantial and deceitful character is tak- ! en away from hope. I It is good then that he hope; it is I good also that he quietly wait. There I Is much promised in the scriptures to I the waiting upon God. Men-wish and i really expect immediate answer to i prayer, and think themselves forgot- I ten unless the reply or answer be In- i staDtaneous. This is undoubtedly a S great mistake; the delay is often a part i and a great part of the answer. It j exercises faith and hope and patience, I and what better thing can be done for us than strengthen those graces to whose growth shall be proportioned the splendors of immortality? It is good, then, that we wait. It is not good that a man hope for wealth, since “riches profit not In the day of wrath” ; and it is not good that lie hope for worldly things, since the mean and mighty go down to the same burial. But it is good that Ue hope for salvation; the meteor then gathers like a golden halo round bis head,, and as he presses forward in the battle of time, no weapon of the evil one can pierce through that helmet. “They that wait on the Bord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary.”—Atlanta Journal. PRESIDENT’S SPEECH E a st e h others ways ASTER Day, from which all others are reckoned, is al- the first Sunday after the first full moon happens next after the One and Twentieth (21st) day of March, and if the full moon happens upon a Sunday, Easter Day 13 the Sunday after. Advent Sunday is always the uenr- BSt Sunday to the Feast of St. Andrew, whether before or after. Itogatiou Sunday is five weeks after Easter. 'Ascension Day is forty days after Easter. Whit Sunday is seven weeks after Easter. Trinity Sunday is eight weeks after Easter. But Easter Sunday is the great Fes­ tival of the anniversary commemora­ tion of our Saviour’s Resurrection. Which for its antiquity and excellence challenges precedence of all other fes­ tivals. The observation of this festival is as ancient as the times of the apostles. It fell, and from thence they were styled Quarto-Decimaus-keeping Eas­ ter upon the fourteenth day after the appearance of the moon. The other churches, especially those of the West, kept Easter upon the Lord’s Day following the Jewish Pass- over. Tliese latter churches pleaded apostolic tradition; the Asiatics claimed the practice of the apostles themselves. The great controversy was finally determined by the Ecumenical Couucil of Kice1 assembled by the Emperor Constantine, wherein it was ordained that Easter should be kept upon one and the same day throughout the world; not according to the custom of the Jews. Iiut upon the Lord’s Day, which decree was ratified and pub­ lished by the Imperial Letters to all the churches; therefore, It became the imperative duty of all Christians throughout the world at that time to i'L ‘ ..*/ iV|.

In those purer times, the only dis­ pute being, not about the thing, but the particular time when the festival was to be kept. A controversy between the different churches about the keeping of Easter: Day was kept up for quite a while;- the Asiatic churches kept their Easter upon the same day that the Jews ob­ served their Passover, vis., the four­ teenth day of their first month, chiefly answering our March; and tliis they did upon whatever day of the Week observe Easter on the day set apart by the said Imperial Letters. The time of observance of the day- has not been changed since, and the Christian world has for nearly six­ teen centuries, without controversy, observed- the first Sunday after the Jewish anniversary of the Passover as Easter Sunday, and continues to do so up to the present day and time. •Easter Day being observed as the day commemorative of the resurrection ol' our Saviour, all Christians must be­ lieve that the eternal Sou of God, who was crucified -and died for our sins, The Osier H ase’s Nest* Easter-time is not complete for Ger­ man little folk without an “Oster Hase’s. nest.” It bolds many a favor and present, serving the same purpose ifiat Christmas stockings and wooden shoes do at Christmas-time.—Mrs. A.

The President sat in. the centre of a long table with other guests of honor. At his immediate right, sat United States Senator Quaties, while E. A. Wadhams, president of the Milwaukee Merchants’ and Manufacturers -Asso­ ciation and toastmaster of the oc­ casion was seated at his left. Afterthe banquet had been served, Toastmaster Wadhams introduced President Roose­ velt who responded to the toast “The President of the United States.” The President took occasion to give his views on the subject of trusts. Mr. Roosevelt’s speech In part fol­ lows:Mr. Toastmaster, Gentlemen; I wish to speak to you on the ques­ tion of the control and regulation of those great corporations which are popularly, although rather vaguely, known as trusts; dealing mostly with what has actually been accomplished in the way of legislation aud in the way of enforcement of legislation dur­ ing the past eighteen months, the period covering the two sessions of the ,Fifty-seventh Congress. At the jutset I shall ask you to remember that I do not approach the subject iither from the standpoint of those who speak of themselves as anti-trust er anti-corporation people, nor yet from the standpoint of those who are Iond of denying the existence of evils In the trusts, Or who apparently pro­ ceed upon the assumption that if a iorporation is large enough it'can do wrong. DESTRUCTION OF BIG CORPORA­ TIONS NOT DESIRED. I think I speak for the great ma­ jority of the American people when I say that we »are not in the least igaiust wealth as such, whether in- Iividual or corporate; that we merely desire to see any abuse of corporate Dr combined wealth corrected and remedied; that we do not desire the lbolition or destruction of big corpora. Irons, but, o nthe contrary, recognize them as being in many cases efficient economic instruments, the results of m inevitable process of economic evo­ lution. and only desire to see them regulated and controlled so far as may be necessary' to subserve the public soo.i. We should be false‘to the his­ toric principles of our government if We discriminated, either by legisla­tion or administration, either for or !gainst a man of either his wealth or bis poverty. There is no proper place in our society either for the rich man who uses the power conferred by his riches to enable him to oppress and wrong his neighbors, nor yet for the Iemagogic agitator who, instead of at­ tacking abuses as all abuses should be attacked wherever found, attracks property,: attacks prosperity, attacks men of wealth, as such, whether they be good or bad, attacks corporations whether they do well or ill, aud seeks, In a spirit of ignorant rancor, to over­ throw the very foundations upon which rest our national well-being. In consequence of the extraordinary industrial changes of the last half- century and notably of the Inst two or three decandes, changes due mainly to the rapidity and complexity of our Inilustrial growth, we are confronted with jiroblems which in their present shape were unknown to. our fore­ fathers. Our great prosperity with, its iccompanyihg concentration of popu­ lation and of wealth, its extreme speei- Iiiaation of facilities, and its develop­ ment of giant industrial leaders, has brought.. much good and ‘ some evii. ind it is as foolsh to ignore the good !s wilfully to blind ourselves to the svii. Re m e d ie s fo r a po r t io n o f THE EVIL. The evil has been partly in inevi­ table accompaniment of the social changes, and where this is the case it can be cured neither by law or by the administration of the law, the only remedy lying in the slow change of character and of economic environ­ ment. But for a portion of the evil, at least, we think that remedies can be found. We know well the danger of false remedies, and we are against all violent, radical and unwise change. But we believe that by proceeding slowly, yet resoluteiy. with good sense and moderation, and also with a firm determination not" to be swerved from our course either by foolish-clamor or by any base or sinister influence, we can accomplish much, for the better­ ment of conditions. FORMER SPEECHES RECALLED. Nearly two years ago, speakigg at the State Fair in Minnesota, Lsaid: “It js probably tree that the Iargd ma­ jority of the fortunes that now exist In this country have- been amassed not by injuring our people, but as an inci­ dent to the conferring of great benefits upon the community, and this, no mat­ ter what may have heen the conscious purpose of those amassing them. There is but the scantiest justification for most of the outcry against the men of wealth as such; and it ought to be unnecessary to state that any appeal which directly or indirectly leads to suspicion and hatred among ourselves, which tends to limit opportunity, “and therefore to shut the door of success against poor men of talent, and, final­ ly, which entails the possibility of law­ lessness. and violence, is an attack upon the fundamental properties of American citizenship. Our interests are at bottom common'; in the long run we-, go up or go dowji together. Yet more and more it is evident that the State, and if necessary the nation,- has got to’ possess the right of supervision and control as regards the great corpora- 'tions which are its creatures: pSfticp- Iarly as regards the great business combinations which derive a portion of their importance from the existence of some monopolistic tendency. The right should be exercised with caution and self-restraint; but it should exist, so .that it may he invoked if the need arises.” • % Last fall in speaking at Cincinnati I said: “The necessary supervision and control in which I firmly believe as the only method of eliminating the real evils of the trusts, mnst emne through wisely and cautiously framed legislation, which shall aim in the first •place to give definite control to some soveieign over the great corporations and Yhich shall be followed, when ! once .this, power has been conferred, by a system giving Io the government the full knowledge which is the essential for satisfactory action. Then when this knowledge—one of the essential fea­ tures of which is proper publicity—has been gained, what further steps of any kind are necessary can be taken with the confidence born of the possession of power to deal with the subject, and of a thorough knowledge of what should and can be done in the matter, We need additional power, and we need knowledge . . . Such legis­ lation—whether obtainable now or obtainable only after a constitutional amendment—should provide for a rea­ sonable supervision, the most promi­ nent feature of which at first should be publicity; that is, the making pub­ lic, both to the government' authori­ ties and to the people at large, the es­ sential facts in which the public is con­ cerned. This would give us exact knowledge of many points which are now not only in doubt but the subject of fierce controversy. Moreover, the mere fact of the publication would cure some very grave evils, for the light of day. is a deterrent to wronlc- doing. SUIT AGAINST THE FEDERAL SALT COMPANY. In November. 1902, the Attorney General directed that a bill for an in­junction be filed in the United States Circuit Court at San Francisco against the Federal Salt Company—a corpora­ tion which had been organized under the law's of an Eastern State, but had its main office and principal place of business in California—and against a number of other companies and per­ sons constituting what was known as the salt trust. These injunctions were to restrain the execution of certain contracts between the Federal Salt Company and the other defendants, by which the latter agreed neither to im­ port, buy, or sell salt, except from and to the Federal Salt Company, and not to engage or assist in the production of salt west of the Mississippi river during the continuance of such con­ tracts. As the result Of these agree­ ments the price of salt had been ad­ vanced about 400 per cent. A tem­ porary injunction order w’as obtained, which the defendants asked the court to modify on the ground that the anti­ trust law had no application to con­ tracts ffir purchases and sales within a State, The Circuit Court overruled this contention find sustained the government’s position. This practically concluded the case, and it is under­ stood that in consequence the Federal Salt Company is about to be dissolved and that no further contest will ba made. A SUCCESSFUL EFFORT. Tbe above is a brief outline of the most important steps, legislative and administrative, taken during the past eighteen months in the direction of oolivng, so far as at present It seems practicable by national legislation or administration to solve, what we coll the trust problem. They represent a sum of very substantial achievement. They represent a successful effort to devise any apply real remedies; an ef­ fort wfiich so far succeeded because it was made not only with resolute pur­ pose and determination, but also in a spirit of common sense and justice, as far removed as possible from rancor, hysteria, and unworthy demagogic ap­ peal. In the same spirit the laws Will continue to bo enforced. Not only is the legislation recently enacted effec­ tive, but in my judgment it was im- practiable to attempt more. Nothing of value is to be attempted from ceaseless agitation for radieal and ex­ treme legislation. The people may wisely, and with confidence, await the results vihich are reasonably to be ex­ pected from the impartial enforcement of the laws which have recently been placed upon the statute books. Legis­ lation of a general and indiscriminate, character would be sure to fail, either because it would involve all interests In a common ruin, or because it would not really reach any evil. We have endeavored to provide a discriminat­ ing adaptation of the remedy to tlie real mischief. ALLEGED REMED1ESTOO DRASTIC Many of the alleged remedies advo­ cated are of the unpleasantly drastic type which seeks to destroy the disease by killing the patient Others are sc obviously, futile that it is somewhat difficult to treat them seriously or as being advanced In good faith." H TWO INTERESTS AT WAR WHAT THE EAST WANTS THE WEST DOES NOT. among the latter I place the effort to reach the trust question by means ot the tariff. You can, o ' course, put av, end to the prosperity of the trusts by putting an end to the prosperity of the nation; but the price for such action seems high. The alternative is to do exactly what has been done during the life ot the Congress which has just closed—that is, to endeavor, not to de­ stroy corporations, but to regulate them with a view of doing away with whatever is of evil In them and of making them subserve the public use. The law is not to be administered in the interest of the poor man as such, nor yet in the interest of the rich man as such, but in the interest of the law- abiding man, rich or poor. We are no more against organizations of capital than against organizations of labor. We welcome both, demanding only that each shall do right and shall re­ member its duty to the republic. Such a course, we consider not merely benefit to the poor man. We do no man an injustice when we require him to obey the law. On the contrary, if he is a man whose safety and weli-be ing depend in a peculiar degree upon the existence of the spirit of law and order, we are rendering him the great­ est DerVice when we require him to b* himself an exemplar of that spirit. INCREASiNC TRABfe. New England AeSs Free Trade For Coal and Protection For Ccdfi«h, WMle Fnr W estern Sections Call This Fav­ oritism and Injustice. The Boston Herald, which uas al­ ways been more or less devoted to the free trade idea, has published recently several lengthy articles favoring the removal of all duties upon coal, either by direct legislation or through the negotiation of a reciprocity treaty with Canada. The point of this is that Mas­ sachusetts does not produce coal, and it is believed there that if there wore free entry of Nova Scotia coal, in the mining of which New England capital largely interested, Massachusetts would profit In two ways, by cheaper coal in her markets, and by larger profits for the capital invested In min­ ing in a foreign country. As a sample of"the statements by which the Herald backs up its arguments, take the fol­ lowing: “The natural coal supply of the Pacific Coast has thus far been the coal mines of British Columbia.” The natural coal supply of the Pacifie Coast is and lias been tko coal mines of the State of Washington, mines which at this time employ 5000 men, and the product of which reaches an­ nually 2,090,780 tons, valued at §5,300,- 854.22. It is this industry of the State of Wasliilngton which Massachusetts is prepared cheerfully to sacrifice in order to secure some slight local advantages. For the purpose of making an argu­ ment which Massachusetts can under­ stand, the coal mining industry can be compared with the cod fishing industry of Massachusetts. There are more men employed in the coal mines of "Wash­ ington than in the cod fisheries of Massachusetts, and the value of their product is greater. Canada is more the natural source of supply of cod fish on -the Atlantic Ilian of coal on the Pa­ cific. The admission of coal free of duty would be far more detrimental to the interests of the State of Wash­ ington than the free admission of cod flsli would be to the interests of the State of Massachusetts. The admis­ sion of either would be to the advan­ tage of Canada., Of the two, Canada would be willing to make far greater concessions to secure a free entry of her cod fisheries products into the United States than to secure the free entry of coal. If the interests of con­ sumers in the United States are to govern, free cod fish would be of in­ finitely greater value and to a vastly jreater number of consumers, scattered over a much wider scope of territory, than would free coal. Hero is the situation then: There is a protected New England industry of not so much commercial value as the coal industry of the State of Washing­ ton, employing fewer people and dis- trlbuthng less wages, the protection of which tends to exclude from the mar­ ket of the United Statqs a Canadian food product which is a common article of diet in the homes of the working peo­ ple of the United States from one end of the continent to the other. There is more valuable protected industry iu the relatively small and poor State of Washington, the protection upon which operates merely to secure to the people of Washington a relatively small local market and leaves unaffected the great mass of the people of the country. Canada is prepared to make far greater trade concessions to secure the with­ drawal of protection from the New England industry than it would to have protection withdrawn from the Wash­ ington industry, aud far more Amer­ ican consumers would profit by free cod fisb than by free coal. Massachu­ setts wants reciprocity with Canada to enlarge her trade opportunities In the Dominion. Washington cnr«s noth­ ing for such reciprocity. Under these circumstances the lionest, the decent and the fair thing to do would be for Massachusetts herself to pay the price of the reciprocity which she demands and which would be largely for per benefit; not to at­ tempt to throw the eost-upon a State which has less to offer to Canada, which does not desire reciprocity and whidi would secure no trade advan­ tages through it, but rather nothing but injury. Massachusetts has raised the cry of “free coal.” Washington counters with the demand for “free cod fish.” If the Boston Herald and the Massachusetts sentiment which it represents are honest and sincere iu their convictions of the advisability of reciprocity ar­ rangements with Canada, they should be prepared to sacrifice local interests to it, and n-t cross the continent for the purpose of throwing the whole burden upon the State of Washington, as they are desirous of doing.—Seattle Post- Intelligencer.

Velocity of the Earth. In order to cahtculate the linear ve­ locity of the earth in its orbit must first know its distance from the sun. If we can measure the earth’s velocity the sun’s distance can be com­ puted. If the velocity can be deter­ mined with great accuracy the result­ ing value of the sun’s distance is pro­ portionately precise. The methods of spectroscopy havj been so far improved the-we are with­ in measureable distance of determin­ ing the solar parallax by spectroscopic observations. If any star near the zodiac be ob­ served with the spectroscope at the two seasons when its longitude differs from that of the sun Dy ninety de­ gress, we can deduce not only the ve- locity of the star along the line join­ ing star and earth but also the mean velocity of the earth in its orbit. Spectroscopic observations of stellar velocity in the line of sight are now so good that the value of the solar dis­ tance vvhich may bo had on the prin­ ciple described is at least of the same order of accuracy as values derived irom older methods.—New York Sun.

He has not talked to farmers lor some time. One would think that so strenuous a tariff reformer as tlie Governor is xvould with avidity ini. prove opportunities to spread the "Iowa idea” of potential competition as a price cutter among agricultural communities.

The police are working on the case, The depot of the Southern Railway at Asheboro was struck by lightning Saturday night and would have been destroyed together with a large amount of freight, had it not been that a member, of the depot force happened to be in the vicinity at the time and on seeing a light in the office rushed in and before any comsiderable dam­ age had been done succeeded in extin­ guishing the fire. It wa3 a narrow’ es­ cape and but for tbe presence of the agent which was purely accidental, It being at a late hour of the night the building and contents would liave been a mass; of ruins. As a result of burns received last Monday Miss Mollie Gibson, a daugh­ ter of Mr. James Gibson, died Thurs­ day night at her home near Matthews. Mecklenburg county.

Barnhart Acquitted. A bill for murder was found against Mr. Barnhart the first of the week, and Wednesday the trial began. Solicitor Hammer and Jacob Stewart Esq. prosecuted for the State. E. L. Gaither, T. B. Bailey and E. H. Morris were the defendants Attorneys. The case was hotly contested throughout. More than a day was consumed in argnement by the Attorneys, and Friday night the Jury took the ease under the Judges charge and early Saturday morning returned a verdict of not guilty. We being one of the defendants Attorneys feel that it is not out of place for us to refer to some criticisms in­ dulged in by outsiders with re­ ference to the guilt of the accused. Ajury of good men passed upon this case, and we think rendered a proper verdict. And on Satur­ day after the Jury had rendered their vredict, we heard the Solici­ tor, Mr. Hammer, remark, that only one ease had gone wrong during court, and that was a re­ tailing caise. Thatsbowsthat the Solicitor thought the Jury render­ ed proper verdict in the Barnhart case. No man should be convicted for any offense on public senti­ ment, and there was a diversity of opinion in this case befoie trial and there may be still, but the defendant had a-speedy trial and was acquitted by his peers.

There is. however, hope for all suSerers in Dr. Miles' Heart Cure, which we know from watching hun­dreds of cases and from the letters of grateful sufferers, rail cure where all else has failed. Il is not only a wonderful cure for weak and diseased hearts, but it is a blood tonic, areg- ulator o£ the heart's action and the niost effective treatment ever formulated for im­proving the circulation of the blood. ■ "During the Civil war I contracted heart disease, and In 1896 , while living in the grand old town of Lexington, Va., I grew so much worse, I left there with xny wife to visit my sister-in-law, Mrs.- T. A. Kirby, at Roonoki Va. While I said nothing to anyone I never expected to live to return to the dear old town. Onreaching Mrs. Kirby’s she insisted I should try Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure. I pro­cured a few bottles of it,al o the Nervine a »7omc* After using one or two bottles, I could see no improvement, and I despaired of ever being better, but my faithful wife in­sisted on keeping it up, which I did. Im­provement soon began in earnest and I took m all fifteen or sixteen bottles. I was re­stored to perfect health and while I am 70 years old, I am comparatively a boy. You sir, are a benefactor, and I cheerfully recom­mend Dr. Miles' Heart Cure to suffering humanity.”—JvL. Slaughter, Salem, VZ AU druggkts sell and guarantee first bottle Dr. Miles; Remedies.

Conceive a man a slave to . passion—envy, revenge, avarice, hatred, unfilled ambition; or to any form of sensual desire, from the love of good eating down­ ward; where is his happiness? At the best in fragments, transitory and unstable, and only found when he has touched the one moment of completion. Like the stone of Sisyphus, which rolls back from the mountain top so soon as it reaches it, his enjoyment dies with chat moment of completion; and satiety, alternating with feverish longing, can scarcely he said to constitute happiness. Changes in the School Law. Superintendent Joyner has giv­ en ont the following interview, summarizing the ten changes made by the Legislature in the school law of the State. They are as fol­ lows: “I The amounts that may be set aside from the school fund for building school houses are limited to twenty per cent of the total fund, where the fund does not ex­ ceed five thousand dollars, sixteen : uer ceut. where it does not exceed The Three R’s. ■ It has been well said by Dr. J, E. Simons, that the three It’s are reliance, rectitude, and responsi­ bility,. Keliance—An unalterable pur­ pose and resolve that with all the powers of a sound and well-trained mind and heart, you will - labor with undismayed courage in your chosen sphere of life to overcome difficulties, achieve success, and secure the crown of victory. Rectitude.—Add to power of a cultured mind the superiority of a blameless life in all your relations with" your fellowmen. Let the Apollo Belvidere of your life be a lofty example of moral and intel­ lectual character, radiant with the grace and beauty of a faultless name. Responsibility.—The high pri­ vileges you have enjoyed, and the power you have acquired, make you debtors to those who have been less favored, as well as to the state which has endowed you with its gifts. God and gems are wei­ ghed in scald beams of greater or less magnitude, but the moral and intellectual forces are impondera­ ble, yet of infinite value. You are invested with the responsibility of their use. Hardware Company, Euccessorsto Crawford-Brookg Hardware Company, WINSTON-SALEM N. C. KEEP us in mind; our prices are the fairest.

Washington, SpeciaL-The eiphc. dispatch received by the Nivy Dcpi. t mcnt, regarding the explosion on tli Iowa, oS Pensacola was on Friday dt ciphered. It was Irom Admiral Ki.’;- ginscii and said: “Iowa's breach-load­ ing 12-ineh gun burst in front o. trunnions, three killed, four wounded.'* Then followed the names given in pre­ vious dispatch. The Department ex­ pects fuller particulars. Another dis­ patch was received as follows: “Pur­ cell, landsman. Kv-ls. seaman, p. T. Berry, ordinary seaman, killed in Iowa will be buried at navy yard at Pensa­ cola.” Because of the meagre details of the explosion which Admiral Higginson's dispatch contained, officials at the Navy Department can only speculate 2.5 to its cause. An investigation board has already been appointed. Rear Admiral O’Neill, chief of the lni:eau of ordnance, has already issued orders for the transportation to New York of a n«w 12-inch gun which is cow at the Washington navy yard, and it will be placed on the Iowa whefl that vessel comes to New York for repairs. Admiral O’Neill said: “The gun wfcich burst was designed in 1S93 and manufactured at the naval gun factory, January I, 1995. The gun had been fired 125 times. Yesterday’s accident is the firsi that has ever hap­ pened to any of the large calibre guns of the navy, except in the ease of the 13-inch gun on the Kearsage. the sore of which was injured by a premature explosion of a shell two years ago. A lining tube was inserted in that gun and it is in use at the proving grounds No reason can yet be assigned for the accident. As yet I do not know what kind of powder was used, or details a.-, to the location of the shell. While ihf- accident may have been due to the pre­ mature explosion of the shell in the tore, such a contingency is unlikely, as shells have on several occasions broken up in bores of guns without any other injury than the defacing of the bore. So far as tie bureau is advised, all the Iowa's 12-inch shells are fitted with base covers, with a view to preventing a possible p.emaiures explosion due to the action of the powder gasses.” The bureau of navigation has sent telegra.nrs of sympathy ‘to the families of the men killed and wounded in the explosion. Acting Secretary Darling sent the following dispatch of sym­ pathy to Hear Admiral Higginson, commander of the North Atlantic fleet, at Pensacola: “Please convey to tho OiEeers and men of the fleet sincere sympathy oi the Department in tlie less of their comrades by the umcrtunatu accident on beard the Iowa. '(Eignod) “DARLING.” Although it had been intended that the Iowa should.be repaired at the New York yard, the damage done by the ex­ plosion will probably make it necessary to put the vessel out of commission. The damage to the battleship Iowa caused by the premature explosion of a shell in the forward port 12-ineh gun has developed to be more serious than was thounht when th -2 first examina­ tion was made and as a consequence the big ship has been ordered to the New York navy yard to go out of com­ mission. She steamed down to the Pensacola navy ya: d, where s;e Is fit­ ting out with supplies aDd coal prepa­ratory to sailing soon as possible fo: tfce North.' It is known that three <?ecks including the upper deck in th< Sorward part of I *10 ship, will have to be entirely ] Amoved and rebuilt. It is feared that the steel suppo.ts under th< 12-inch po t turret are snrung to sucl an extent Ihat t:rey will hive to be re moved, though this cannot yet be stat­ ed positively. The gun itself is a hope­ less wreck. Although the g„n which burst went into nutnci-Tcss pieces the end of the gon is as smooth as if it had just been turned out of a ship, and except that it is about 12 feet shorter than the starboard gun. it i3 - hardly noticeable that an explosion occurred. According ta the record of ihe exploded gun, it was ec-oj for at least anothe; year of service, and reports that the gun Ind been condemned are without foundation. IT rd CfiTptriin I)*sd. ■Washington, Special.—The Rev. Wm. Henry Milburn1 the venerable blind chaplain of the Iinited States Senate, died in Santa Barbara, Cal., Friday. Word to this effect was received here tcnight by Co!. Randall, the sergeant- at-arms of the Senate. The deceased was a native of Philadelphia, .where he was born in 1823. When he was five years of age, a playfellow accident3 ly struck him in the left eye with a piece of glass.

The month of February was mild but otherwise a typically bad • winter month, on account of the excessive rainfall and the unusual number of severe gales, which caused some dam­ age at most places even In the interior of the State. The rainfall exceeded 10 inches for the month at six western stations. A severe cold wave occurred from the 17th to 20th with the lowest remperatures for the winter on the iSth, reaching at mountain stations a rew degrees below zero. On account of rhe frequent rains very little farm .iork was done during February, and .he conditions were not favorable for .he cereal3. Excessive warmth and .noisture the first half of the month caused succulent growth of wheat •vhich was much injured by the subse­ quent freezing weather. At the close of the month, therefore, the appearance of wheat, oats and rye was not so good, .hough the excellent stands were un- mpaired. Dttring the latter part of the .,oath which was more favorable, farm ivork made some progress, especially ;he planting of truck crops in the .-ast; many tobacco beds also were seeded. The conditions during March indi­ cated the approach of an early Spring. The temperature was abovu normal the entire month the excess averaged ap- jioximately 8 degrees for the State; .iie temperature did not even reach reezing until the 20th and 27tli, when dlling frosts occurred west of the Blue Kidge, and light frosts east of the .mountains as far south as Wilmington but with very little injury to crops. Vegetation was much advanced in growth and before the end of the month fruit trees were generally in bloom, and many forest trees were in leaf. The disadvantageous feature for March was the excessive rainfall which •!elayed plowing an'l caused the flood­ ing of low lands with some damage to wheat in places. However, much plow­ ing was accomplished during the week ending March 20i5. The weather was very favorable for the growth of wheat, oats and rye which advanced rapidly, plants were spreading and jointing niceiy at the close of the month. Straw­ berries were in f'l'i bloom before the end of March indicating a crop from one to three weeks earlier than the average; the plants were strong and heavy, and conditions favor a large crop of excellent quality. Truck crops also are well advanced, especially as­ paragus, cabbage, early irish potatoes, lettuce and radishes; some large ship­ ments of lettuce and radishes have been made; an early and successful season for truckers seems assured. The severe coast storm' on the 29th and 30th did apparently- little damage to agricul­ tural interests. Reports of crop correspondents for the week ending Monday,. April 8, indicate tbat conditions have not been favorable for the rapid progress of farm work, on account of the exces­ sive rainfall on March 29th and 30th. which cause*1 freshets in the rivers, flooded low lands, and generally kept the soil too wet to plow. Easterly gales caused exceptionally high tid--o :n the coast region. Plowing and other pre­ parations for planting the staple crops are still behind .but this is largely in control with the early, advance of spring, as plowing can easily be ac­ complished in good time with favor­able weather, lb* temperature during the week remained decidedly above normal until Saturday, April 4, when a very rapid fall occurred to a few degrees below the freezing point in the Western District, with light enow. The freeze extended into the central portion of the State Sunday morning and ice formed in places. Fruit trees, such as peaches, apples and cherries, were generally in bloom, and the in­ jury caused by the freeze fo the fruit crop must have been very great. Re­ ports in regard to the amount of dam­age done will appear in the next Bul­ letin. Warning of the approach of killing frost was so widely distributed by the Weather Bureau to the farmers in the trucking section, that truck and berry crops probably received adequate protecton. A little corn has been plant­ ed- in the southern and eastern por­ tions of the State and some is up. To­ bacco in beds is well advanced in growth and the plants are plentiful, wneat, oats and rye appear unusually fine and are large in growth; son_e fields of wheat were yellow by cold and much of the crop in very low* ground has been ruined by high water. Less than half the spring oat crop has been seeded. Truck crops were general­ 'll Planted eaily and are doing well- irish potatoes arc op. May peas are In bloom; a few strawberries have been shipped. Gardens are fairly well ad­ vanced in the east, but are backward elsewhere. Court F fijings. Washington, SpeciaL-The TJnitea Stotes Supreme Court decided the cases growing out- of the seizure of a number cf fishing Emacks by united States vessels, during the Spanish war. The court having pre­ viously decided that the seizures were not legitimate, the only ques­ tion before the court was-as to the reasonableness of the ward of dam­ ages made by the commission ap­ pointed for that purpose. The couit njld the award to be excessive and .eversed the finding of the TJoited States District Court for the south­ ern district of Florida, by, which the award was affirmed. Murderand Su'clde. Birmingham, AIa., Special.—Mrs. Susie McMillan, wife of Policeman A. B.

THE TRIAL WAS POSTPONED. Because of AbssnceofTwo Witnesses the Hearing of the Case Went Over Until June Term of Court. Columbia, S. C., Special.—James H. Tillman, who is charged with the kill-. Ing of N. G. Gonzales, the editor of The Columbia State in January, was taken to the Criminal Court here, Wednesday for the purpose of having him plead to the indictment returned against him last Monday for murder and carrying concealed weapons or unlawful arms, as they are termed in this State: The arraignment was not had, however, and the proceedings which it was thought would be of a purely formal character turned out to be highly sensational. The trial C f the defendant had been set for next Mon­ day, and both sides had caused the report to be circulated that they were ready for trial. Much to the surprise of the spectators and lawyers here, the defense availed themselves of the opportunity presented to secure a con­ tinuance on the ground that it had been impossible to secure the attend­ ance of two material witnesses, Cap­ tain. J. A. White and MisS Julia Roper. Tillman, the defendant, Was brought into court shortly before the proceed­ ings were commenced. He was accom­ panied by his uncle, Senator Bsn Till­ man, who appeared to be very much more deeply concerned about the pro­ ceedings than the prisoner himself. Distinguished counsel appeared on both sides. The people were repre­ sented by Col. Andrew Crawford and Solicitor (Commonwealth’s Attorney) J. W. William Thurmond and the de­ fense by Congressman Gsorge W. Croft, who was at one time the defen- ant's law partner, and Patrick H. Nel­ son. The prosecuting officer opened the proceedings with a request for an arr raignment. Counsel for the defense in­ terrupted to enter a motion for a con­ tinuance on the ground of the absence of the two witnesses already mention­ ed. Thoy presented affidavits from the Witnesses which in a measure indi­ cated what they would testify to. The prosecution promptly announced that it was entirely willing to accept these affidavits and strenuously objected to any further delay in the case. The point was made that the defense had had ample time to prepare for the trial and the affidavits were all that was necessary in the defendant’s be­ half so far as the witnesses in ques­ tion were concerned. The prosecution urged that a rule had been made recently to prevent continuances under such circumstan­ ces as those shown in this case but the court ruled against them and granted a continuance until the June term on an affidavit of defendant's counsel stating that it had been im­ possible to get witnesses in time for this term. The solicitor then urged that the defendant be arraigned at this time, but Judge Kiugh declined to ac­ cede to this request and the prisoner was remanded and the case continued until the June term of court Alay Cotton Up. New York, Special.—The rise in cot­ ton which began almost four months ago was continuel when May touched 10.40 and July 9.99, new high records tor the present movement. The mar­ ket opened active and strong all around, but the shorts were almost the buyers of May, the bull element hold­ ing off and taking only so much as was necessary to strengthen their position. Advances tended from I to 7 points, but the bulk of the trading was in May and July. Offerings of July cotton at 9.98 were liberal and sales at that figure were moderately large. By 11 o'clock May sold oft to 10.33 and July to 9.93. May closed 10.29 bid; 10.30 ask­ ed; July 9.90 bid, 9.91 asked. Telegraphic Briefs, There has been renewed on the New York cotton exchange the agitation for a system of deliveries of cotton in car­ rying out contracts made on the floor ‘of the New York cotton exchange at a number of Southern ports instead of New -York only as at present. A com­ pany has been selected to work in favor of the plan to which there is consider­ able opposition. A London dispatch says: “Mrs. Mabel Townsend, formerly of the Aicazar Theatre, San Francisco, shot herself with a revolver on the door­ step of her residence in Great Litch­ field street. She was dead when taken to the hospital. Mrs. Townsend is said to have been suffering from religious mania.” . An Indianapolis dispatch says: “Tile national executive board of the United Mine Workers met here at which it was understood reeommen 'I ations would be made for bringing all the miners of the country into tht organization before the next annua' ‘convention. There are probably 150 000 men about the mines who do no; belong to the organization.’’ Ono of the greatest pugilists that America ever produced, John Dwyer, of Brooklyn, quit his regular occupa­ tion .to enter the counting room. He died within a-year from' tuberculosis The explanation in this case was sim pie. enough. The immense lungs which were, necessarily an advantage in the prize ring, fell into disuse in the counting room. Disuse meant de­ generation, and degeneration meant a Iaek of resistance, of which tubercle bacillus was not slow to take advant­ age. Virginia D b t Paid. Washington, Special.—Senator Dan­ iel, of Virginia, has been advised by the Comptroller of the Treasury tha’1 an official decision has been reache, and a settlement—by offsetting of thi claims—made of the Iong-standinj claims of the TTnited States and the State of Virginia against each other. Tbe claims amounted to nearly $2,QOO1- 000 each.

Shiloh Battlefield, Special.—Indiana dedicated and presented to the gov­ ernment Monday, the *22 monuments erected at a cost of $25,000 in honor of the 22 regiments that State had in the battle of Shiloh. Two special trains and a fleet of passenger boats brought 600 people from Indianapolis this morning; General Lew Wallace pre­ sided at the dedicatory exercises. The monuments were presented to the State by Colonel James Wright, of the In­ diana commission, which has had charge of the erection. Governor Dur­ bin presented the monument to the government and they were accepted by Wm. Carry Sanger, Assistant Secre­ tary of War, who said: “The Federal government, in accept­ ing these monuments, becomes charged with the duty of guarding them and keeping fresh in the memory of the people a record of the deeds Which they commemorate. In creating and keep­ ing these national parks, the country is not merely perpetuating the fame of brave men, it is not only emphasizing the fact that a united country thinks with pride of the valor of all the heroes who fought in that great struggle, but it is putting into visible form the con­ viction of the people that examples of brave and faithful performance of duty should be ever honored through­ out our land. We should never forget the lessons of the war, but imperfect­ ly learned if we think of them as only helping us to bear ourselves bravely in the face of an armed enemy. In times of peace there are battles to be fought and Victories to bo won, the effect of which npoh the destiny of mankind are as far-reaching as the re­ sults of an armed conflict. Honor,-cour­ age, integrity, devotion to principle, and the faithful performance of duty are just as essential to the greatness of a free people as courage and self- sacrifice are to the success of a fight- ,ing army.” The national commission was repre­ sented by Colonel Josiah Patterson, of Memphis, Tenn. Governor Frazer, of Tennessee, was represented oy General 'Jordon, of Memphis. Senator Albert J.- Beveridge, of Indiana, made the principal speech. Arthur Pennell, Defaulter.. Buffalo, Special.—The Commercial publishes a story in which it is al­ leged that Arthur R. Fennell, who was killed in an automobile accident on March IOthi Was a defaulter to the extent of from $150,000 to $200,000. The story. The Commercial says, leaked out as the result of a legal dispute oyer two life insurance poli­ cies, and is to the effect that Pennell induced friends who had Eiiown hia family and the family of his wife, to place money in his hands for invest­ m ent He acted, in fact, as their finan­ cial agent. He would inform them of some good investment which he bad come across, which would pay an ex­ cellent rate of interest, and they would send him money. The money which was sent to him for invest­ ment, it is alleged, he spent, and when interest payments fell due he made the payments out of his own pocket. Wallace Thayeri who was Pennell's attorney and intimate friend, is referred to by the paper as saying he had suspected irregulari­ ties, but that he had no proof of any such wrong-doing. Incidentally, it has been learned that Pennell made provision for the payment to Mrs. Edwin I/. Burdick of several thousand dollars out of his life insurance. Pennell carried over $200,000 life insurance, in order, The Commercial says, that after his death the Eastern estates to which he had defaulted might recoup the losses which they had sustained through him. In his will Pennell named as ad­ ministrator of his estate, his brother J. Frederick Pennell. He left to his administrator sealed instructions that upon his death, he should make good it full out of his estate losses which had been sustained through his de falcatiotts, The Commercial adds that Pennell had contemplated suicide for two years and says the fact is known that he tried two years ago to throw hire self in front of a train at Peekskiii and to make it appear that his death was an accident.. He stopped off at PeekskilI on the way from New York with the intention of committing sui­ cide in that way, but his nerve failed him. Recently he told the story of the PeekskiU incident himself. During t’uc- Pan-American Exposition he sought for days for an opportunity to com mit suicide in a manner that woulf make it appear accidental. He ha:' an idea that he could be run over it some way while at the exposition, bu he never could nerve himself up ti the point'where he could throw him self under a train or drcp under the wheels of a trolley car.

Generosity of Crippies. “Cripples as a rule ai-e a gi'Mous lot,” said an observant man, "and I saw a fine exemplification of the fact the other evening in Common street. I saw a man stop at Common ami Baronne and slip a quarter in the palm of a one-leggsd man who was stand­ ing on the corner. In the middlo a the block, as he walked toward Caton- delet and Common, he enr-mmte-id an­ other beggar who had only one arm. He dropped a piece of inunt y into his liat.

Olive1 in Wayne county, blow­ ing open the postofiice safe and taking therefrom $225 in money and aboiit ?50 or $75 in stamps. Both Virgin and Adams protested vigorously, saying that a mistake had . been made and that they did not tliiuk it right or the part of justico to require them to l)e thus humilated; that they were honest, hard working men, and though circum­ stances seemed to be against them, they were innocent of any wrong-do­ ing. Commissioner Maxwell bound both over in a bond of ?500 each. Fail­ ing to gi-e this, they were taken to jail. A youny white man named R. B.

He admitted being drunk and said that he had come down from Huntersville Tuesday afternoon with $85 In his pocket anc> when he came.to himself next morning ho only had $2.36. There were two young men with lissety when he went to Charlotte aind he thinks one of these took his money. It is reported that the Southern railroad has just received flfty-sevwi new locomotives and they are being limbered r.p at the company's shops at Spencer. The statement is that tv?o years ago the Southern gave an order for n in ety -E e v en new locomotives; but has not been able to get them betore now for the reason that the locomotive builders were so far behind with Leiiii work. The Southern system has beta badly in need of additional motive power, and it is hoped that the en­ gines jast received will very material­ ly relieve the situation. JIi'.

Will Harris is wanted in Meck­ lenburg for so many crimes that it would be exceedingly difficult to en­ umerate all of thc-m. He will bo brought back to Charlotte. . While he was preaching at a revival in progress at a colored Baptist church in east Wilmiagton Tuesday night, Rev. M. W. DeVane1 colored, of Wil­ mington, lost Iiis horse and buggy which was tied to the church yard. Sneak thieves slipped up in the grove and drove the animal away. The prop­ erty had not been recovered next morning. John Copper, colored, was arrested in Wilmington before day Wednesday morning on a warrant from Florence, S. C., charging him with burglary.

It is v/eil known to be a simple combination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants with pleasant, aro­ matic liquids, which are agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired. Many of the Ills from which women suffer are of a tran­ sient nature and do noi come from any organic trouble and it is pleasant to know that they yield so promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative is needed it is best to consult the family physician and to avoid the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nostrums of the present day. When one needs only to remove the strain, the torpor, the con­ gestion, or similar ills, which attend upon a constipated condition of the system, use the true and gentle remedy— Syrup of Figs—and enjoy freedom from the- depression, the aches and pains, colds and headaches, which are due to inactivity of the bowels. Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs can hope to get its beneficial effects and as a guarantee of the ex­ cellence of the remedy the full name'of the company— Caltfohria Fig Syrup Co.—is printed on the froiit of every package and without it any preparation offered as Syrup of Fjgs is fraudulent and should be declined.

In the elevation of Ssiriator Pritchard to the bench, the State lost a valuable. citizen-, and the party u wise and conservative lead­ er.

There is no room for petty jealousies, no time for .i. display of disatisfaction, we must fall ia the ranks under the banner of the young mountain­ eer and follow his lead in achiev­ ing a great victory in 1904-. The Democratic press will labor to provoke dissensions, in order to weaken the fight to be made, but no true and loyal Republican will be caught napping by any such chaff. Thos, S. Rollins is our Chairman. Robbed Tke Grave. A StartHog incident, is narrated by John Oliver of-Philadelphia, us follows: “I was in an awfni condition.

The Difference.Changing Views. There' has been an old time sentiment in North Carolina that it was a'grievous wrong for a per­ son loebauge his political opinions This sentiment has about passed away, we are glad to say. There never was any reasons for such a sentiment existing but a whole world full of reason why such a sentiment should not exist. Why should a person not IiavethesamejruUeh as all the revenue collected right to change his views on poli-1 by tbe government for this State tical questions the same as a iy other question? It. is the wise and I Notwithstanding the cutting off of war taxes the surplus for the current year of government receip­ ts over expenditures will be fully thirty millions of dollars. In oth­ er words the government, by the first day of next July, will have collected from the people over and beyond its every need, as extrava­ gant as this is ; thirty millions of dollars. This surplus alone repre­ sents more thau litteea times as brave mas who changes when he finds he is in the wrong. It was indeed a wise change of opiuion Saul of Tarsus made when on his way to Damascus to persecute the Christians. The man who is a- fraid to quit a political party for fear of lowering his social stand­ ing is a coward and a fool. Some of the men who have played the most important part in the field of American politics have changed from one political party to another Abraham Lincoln started his poli­ tical life as a Jackson Democrat bnthe became the father of the great Republican party, and for this change there is nota man that thinks the less of him, Henry Clajr changed his views on many political questions and left the Republican party and associated himself with the V\ higsi Thous­ ands and lens of thousands of per­ sons who wrue Whigs before the Civil -v ai- associated themselves with the Democrats after the war. country.

Under Mr. Cleveland you had to sell bonds for two hunderd and sixty two millions. Yet the Republicans are spending many millions more for running the government ti^an did the Demo­ crats, yet haVe a surplus. The same thing is repeated in this State. The Democratic Legisla­ ture of 1S9D appointed a committee to examine the books of Fusion State officers, they did so and said all appropriations had been met, and a blanee of §130.000 remained ou hand. Yet you try to fasten tbe shortage of your crowd upon the Fusionists.

C.d CHASINC THe PHANTOM OF FOREIGN TRADE IABOR RESOLUTIONS Manufacturers Speak Out Against Boycotts and Lockouts/ THEY RECOGNIZE RIGHT OF LABOR. Labor Commissioner Wright Ad­ dresses the Convention—The Res­ olutions. New Orleans, SpeciaL-Interest in Tuesday's session of the National As­ sociation of Manufacturers centered in the report of the resolutions commit­ tee, which was made at noon. The labor question immediately came to the front In the shape of a resolution embodying a declaration of principles, declaring against boycotts and lockouts, recog­ nizing the right of labor to organize, but “without interference with the lib­ erty of employers or employe/' deny­ ing the right of unions to fix wages and pledging the association to oppose all legislation not in accord with the foregoing principles. A motion to adopt the resolutions brought a protest from Jas. F. Tater, of Cincinnati, who de­ manded that the resolutions be printed and held over until tomorrow. Mr. Tater was supported by Mayor Jones, of Toledo, and a rising vote was de­ manded. The motion to defer action was lost by a heavy vote and the reso­ lutions were adopted. They contain the following declarations: “I. Fair dealing is the fundamental and basic principle on which relations between employes and employers should rest. “2. The National Association of Banufacturers is not opposed to organ­ izations of labor as such, but it is un­ alterably opposed to boycotts, black­ lists and other illegal acts of interfer­ ence with the personal liberty of em­ ployer and employe. “3. No person should be refused employment or in any way be discrim­ inated against on account of member­ship or non-membership in any labor organization, and there should be no discrimination against or interference with an employe who is not a member of a labor organization by members of such organizations."4. With due regard to contracts, it is the right of the employe to leave his employment whenever he sees fit and it is the right of employer to discharge any employe when he sees fit. “5. Employers must be free to em­ ploy their work people at wages mutu­ally satisfactory, without interference or dictation on the part of individuals or organizations not directly parties to such contracts.“6. Employers must be unmolested and unhampered in the management of their business and in the use of any methods or systems of pay which arc just and equitable."7. No limitation should be placed upon the opportunities of any person to learn any trade to which he or she may be adapted. “8 . This association disapproves ab­ solutely of strikes and lockouts and favors an equitable adjustment of all differences between employers and employes. “9. The National Association of Manufacturers pledges itself to oppose auy and all legislation not in accord with the foregoing declaration.” At the morning session Carroll D. Wright, Commissioner of Labor, made an address in the course of which he said: “The workingman has risen from ignorance to intelligence, and as he has reached intelligence he has be­ come more or less a greater complica­ tion in industrial affairs. In his ig­ norance he did not strike; in his intel­ ligence he does strike. The next step in the development in his intelligence will be that he will not strike; that he will be able to accommodate himself to conditions because he will understand them better. He will be .able to recog­ nize his rights in relation to the rights of others and to know fully what is necessary for successful production, where he now understands only a part: This means of course the organization, ..the ^continuanc^s..the perfection, 'of la­ bor unions. Some of tHe methods or labor unions are to Ikj condemned. So • ®re som eof the methods of the cap­ italistic organization to be condemned, but because they cannot get on to­gether does -not mean that either or both should be destroyed. They must get on together. The great question for employers and employes is: Will they in conduct of their mutual affairs ex- <*!d militant spirit, or invoke that peaceful consideration which leads to the adoption of the highest elements or business interests?” Not Guilty of Murder. Newport Nev/s, Va., Special,—WiI- liaip S. Shelby, alias “Lanky Bob,” Rykn, was acquitted of the charge of complicity in the murder of Amos Dy- eart in April, 1902, by a jury in the Elizabeth City county court Tuesday.

Pritchard, a Phoe­ bus saloon-keeper in whose place it was alleged Dysa.rt was murdered for the purpose of robbing him of a sum of money won at cards in the .house earlier in the evening.

THE GOEBEL MURDER* Sons© Important Testimony Taken Before the Court, Frankfort, Ky., SpeciaL-Henry B. Youtsey for the first time told on the witness stand his story of the killing of the late Governor Goebel. He named James Howard, the defendant, as the man who fired the shot. Youtsey said he saw Howard for the first time a. few minutes before the shooting. Howard had a letter sent him several days be­ fore by the witness at Governor Tay­ lor’s dictation. Youtsey says he took Howard into the office of Caleb Pow­ ers, then Secretary of State, which had been .especially arranged for the shoot­ ing. He showed Howard the Marlin rifle, the bullets and the window from which the shooting was to-be done. He says Howard asked what he was to get for doing the shooting. “What do you want for it?” Yout- sey says he asked, and that Howard said he wanted a pardon for killing George Baker. “I told him he could have that and more, too,” said Youstey. “About that time,” said the witness, “Goebel came iu the gate and I pointed him out to Howard and then ran from the room. As I disappeared down the steps to the basement I heard the crack of Howard’s rifle.”Youtsey said that after the shooting he passed through the. State house basement and a few minutes later came back into the executive building from the east side entrance.“I stayed in the office of Assistant Secretary of State Matthews/ ’said he, “for a few moments and saw Mat­ thews break open Caleb Powers’ office and find the gun that had been left in there.”Yountsey said that at the time of the shooting he was private secretary to Auditor Sweeney, but that while his political status was not definitely fixed it was understood he was to have a good .place under Taylor. “Governor Taylor,” said Youtsey, “directed every­ thing we did. We regarded liiin as our leader and he was morally responsible for all we did. We knew we had the Governor and the pardoning power behind us, and were not afraid of pun­ ishment for killing Goebel.” Youtsey, 011 cross-examination, said that after he was arrested and later sent to the penitentiary, he still had hope of gaining his liberty. He thought Yerkes would be elected Gov­ ernor and would pardon him. Yerkes was defeated, however, and about a year ago he decided to talk and did tell his story to Prison Physician Tobin. Youtsey said further that he had an additional incentive to tell the story, as Taylor, Powers and others had used him as a cat’s paw and scape-goat and then deserted him when he got into trouble. LIVE ITEMS OF NEWS. * w ilk e s bond case Serions Fire in Beaumont. Beaumont, Texas, Special.—A care­ less workman kicked over a lanteran At one of the Caldwcli oil wells on Block 38, Hogg-Swayne tract, on Spin­ dle Top and started a fire that result­ ed in the loss of property valued at $1,- 000,000 and the bankruptcy of twenty or moro of the smaller companies. There were 175 wells on the three blocks of the tract, and only five of the derricks and pump houses are left standing. Every company that had property in the Hogg-Swayne tract is a loser. The fire swept the three blocks covered with derricks and pump houses clear of all its buildings. The der­ ricks left are on the edge and are few and far between. None of the com­ panies had a cent of insurance. The fire started near the scouthern edge of Block No. 38 and spread three ways. Pumping stations, derricks and pipe lines all fell before it. Largo en­ gines and thick pipe melted in the heat. It is estimated that 170 of the wells sustained an average direct loss of $3,000. This is exclusive , of half a million dollars more, the aggregate loss on production and other damages. Fif­ ty or more wells probably are ruined by the dropping of tubing into them as the result of the fire. Among the los­ ers are: London Oil and Pipe Line Company, Caldwell Oil Company, Spin­ dle Top Power Company, Central Pow­ er and Equipment Company, Pumping StationDividend Oil Company, De- troit-Beaumont, Palestine-Beaumont, Sun Company, Advance OU Company, Queen City, Queen of Waco, Drum­ mers, Alamo, Buckeye, Ground Floor, Manhattan, Boreaulis and Buffalo. All pumping rigs, bricks and pipe line equipments were destroyed. Exten­sive losses were sustained by owners of drilling rigs, among whom were H. B. Ford, Cartwright Oil Company, John Markham and J. W. Ennis. Mr. Ennis estimates his loss at $15,000 and others at from $1,000 to $4,000. Metal to Be Tested. Washington, Special.—Unable to de­ termine with any definiteness the real cause, for the recent explosion on the Iowa, the hoard of investigation ap­ pointed has recommended a critical mechanical and chemical test under the direction of an expert board to estab­ lish the condition of the metal of the burst gun. Secretary Moody, acting on this recommendation.probably will aa- point an expert board..

The argument, which was not begun until shortly before the recess hour, was not concluded, and as the court does not meet Saturday, will not be resumed until Monday. The interesting feature of the day’s argument was the caustic remarks of ex-Judge John F. Dillon, the New York lawyer, with respect to the "repudi­ ation of bond debts” movements. "The county commissioners of Wilkes,” Judge Dillon declared, “come before this court and ask you to hold these bends invalid/because, and only be­ cause, there was no legal authority, as alleged, to build this road one inch be­ yond Winston. Not a bond was issued until the road was built into Wilkes, ahd interest was paid' on them for six years afterwards. It is a wretched business, this act of repudiation by the commissioners—the very people who issued the bonds. The people of the county voted twice for these bonds. The railroad they voted for is the only communication they have today with the outside world. In an evil hour and upon bad advice the county entered upon this foolish policy of repudi­ ation. Ex-Judge A. C. Avery, who repre­ sents the county of Wilkes, had the opening argument, and for an hour and twenty minutes he elaborated the facts in the case, going over the history of the suit which was decided in favor of the county by the Supreme Court of North Caroilina, and afterwardss, on appeal to the Circuit Court of Appeals, was decided in favor of the bond­ holders, W. C. Cole & Co., of New York. After ex-Judge Dillon concludes his argument Monday ex-Judge Avery will resume and submit the final ar­ gument in the case to the Court. A H. Price and Harry Hubbard, of New York, who appear for the bdnd-holders, were present, but will not speak.Several maps were exhibited in the county’s defense, showing the geo­ graphical location of tbe railroad in the controversy. Justices Brewer and Day did not sit on the case. In his argument sx-Judgc Avery contended that it was not a question of bond repudiation, as maintained but that no power was granted in the charter of the North- Western North Carolina Railroad 01 any amendments threto authorizing Wilkes county to issue bends. The other side maintained that this author­ ity did exist and that likewise such au­ thority was granted in the general law. Judge Avery contended that the estab­ lished rule of the Federal Courts is to resolve all possible doubts in favor of the construction placed by the State tribunals upon their own statutes. .Judge Ayery Eaid further:“Under the established rule Federal Courts must lean toward an agree­ ment of the views of the State court, because on the first hearing of the Stanly county bond case, involving only the construction of The Code, sec­ tions 1996 to 2000, the Circuit Court of Appeals in commissioners vs. Coler, agreed with the State court in holding that said sections were insufficient to empower a county to issue bonds, all of the judges concurring, while only a majority consented on the rehearing to ovciyrule that opinion.” Broadnax Sentenced, . • Reidsville, Special.—The jury in the case of John Broadnax, charged with the murder of Sidney Blair on March 16th‘ last., returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree at 12 o’clock. - Judge Long sentenced the prisoner to be hanged on May 22nd.

TRIAL OF JOHN BROADNAX. n iss Sallie Walker Tells the Story of the Murder. - Reidsville, Special.—When the case of State against John Broadnax was called Tuesday morning the court house was packed with people and at 10 o’clock standing room, could not be obtained by several hundred. Judge Long gave Sheriff Pinnix orders to re­ port to him any misbehavior In the court room, and said he desired and was determined to have the best or­ der. On account of the interview with Miss Sallie Walker, which appeared in The Observer a few days following thl tragedy, great difficulty was ex­ perienced in securing men for the jury who had not formed and ex­ pressed an opinion, and it was 11:45 ere the jury had been selected. The following composed the jury: J. M. Galloway, Jr., C. W. Seay, J. A. Bevill, C. P. Young, Z. B. Brarne, W. C. Smothers, Geo. W. Parks, Jr., Wal­ ter Roberts, Charles Thomas, J. N. Dyer, D. C. Sartin and T. C. Peay. Miss Walker was the first witness on the stand and she made an excel­ lent witness. She said: "While we were at supper John Broadnax, a negro boy about. 16 years old, entered the dining room. Previous to that time he always knock­ ed at the door or asked permission to enter. He engaged in a conversation with Uncle Sidney, and then without a word of warning pulled out a re­ volver and commenced firing at me. Two shots took effect, one of the bul­ lets entering at the sltin of my neck, and the other grazing my side. We arose and as we did so the negro aimed at my uncle. We were then all standing in a few feet of each other around the table. Broadnax fired two shots at Uncle Sidney, one ball en­ tering the collar bone, and the other pierced his bowels. We followed the negro to the door he entered and I managed to push him out and latch the door. Mr. Blair wanted to open the door and follow Broadnax, hut I stopped him, fearing that he would be shot again. Uncie asked, ‘Where did the ball hit you?’ Before I could answer, or ask him where he was hit, lie fell without speaking again or ut­ tering another sound. Hearing me scream the negro returned and en­ tered an unfastened door and began firing at me again. I succeeded pushing him out again and told him not to dare enter any more. “Previous to that time ,I had never been uneasy when the ’negro came around. Even when he entered the kitchen that night I didn’t fear him any more than I would have feared a cat, and not as much as I would have feared a dog, because I would have been frightened if a strange dog had entered the room. The boy hail worked for my uncle and was acquainted with his habits and the premises. A few weeks previous to the tragedy some one robbed Uncle Sidney of between $50 and $80, and it is believed that Broadnax was the perpetrator of that crime. "After blowing out the light and' getting quiet I heard a noise in one of the front rooms. The negro was there trying the lock with a key. Then it Hashed upon me that tbe negro had committed the murder in order to suc­ ceed in robbing the premises. My uncle Was lying flat of his back and began to strangle. Then it was that I thought ofextinguishing the light for my own safety and to do something for him. After remaining quiet for a short while I heard the negro in the hall or front room, and thought then it was my opportunity to escape and secure aid. I slipped off my shoes and started by the eastern door, not know­ ing but what some one was standing there ready to kill me, but I took'the chances. The negro evidently thought he had killed me. I used all the strength in my power to reach a neigh­ bor and after many hard falls I finally succeeded in reaching the home of Mr. R. T. Estes, a distance of one mile. Mr. Estes was not at borne, but his nephew went after him and soon carried him to our home. They, found the negro in one of the front rooms pillaging. Other neighbors were sent for. Mr. French was left to guard the negro. He placed his lantern at one door and rushed to the other one. The lantern caused Broadnax to think there were other people at that door and he attempted to make hiB exit out of the other one, just opposite. Mr. French was there, however, and fired his pistol, causing the negro to turn back, and screamed out apparently to those people at the door where he left the lantern, ‘Don’t let him get out of that door, boys.’ He then commanded the negro to throw up his hands and surrender. The left hand went up promptly, but the right hand, which contained the pistol, was put In a posi­ tion as though he expected to shoot. But the report of Mr. French’s pistol unnerved him and he gave in. The ne­ gro succeeded In fipding $5.87, and was ransacking trunks when the neighbors reached here. My surmise is he thought there was a lot of money there, bnt since the last robbery Uncle Sidney had removed his money.” Hanhattati Directors, New York, Special.—A crisis in the ^negotiations between the employes of the Manhattan Elevated Railway “and the management, was reached when a committee of employes present to the directors a demand for a nine-hour working day and the latter refused to grant it.

Direct and unmistakable confirmation of the prediction of trouble with Eu­ ropean countries as the outcome of the consummation of the proposed prefer­ ential trade arrangement between the United States and Cuba is at hand in the shape of a Berlin cablegram to the New York Herald, dated March 14, 1903. The danger, indeed, tile certain­ ty, of arousing jealousy, resentment and retaliatory action as a -consequence of entering upon the policy of reciproc­ ity in competitive products has been pointed out by Andrew Carnegie in his terse statement that for every friend made by such a policy we shall make several enemies. The American Econo­ mist has persistently urged a similar view as to the disadvantages of such reciprocity wholly outside of the ques­ tion Iif its sacrifice of tbe principle of fair and equal protection to American labor and industry. This paper has ex­ pressly indicated Germany as one of the countries certain to take umbrage at the monopolization alike' of the Cu­ ban market for American products and of the American market for Cuban sugar. It is well known that among higher officials committed to the Cuban treaty this aspect of the case has been regarded with some misgivings, but that it had been decided to jam the treaty through and let ultimate de­ velopments take care of themselves. How well founded these apprehensions have been may be discovered from the Berlin cablegram: “Berlin, March 14, 1903.—Germany, as soon as the reciprocity treaty be­ tween Culm and the United States is ratified, will ask both the Cuban and United States Governments for identi­ cal privileges. It is perceived that Ger­ man traders will be placed at a dis­ advantage, and the specialists in the Foreign Office, who manage Germany’s cases in the negotiations for new com­ mercial treaties, have talked over the Cuban treaty with representatives of the embassies of the Continental Pow­ ers, with the result that intimations have been made that other govern­ ments intend also to request the same treatment. “While annoyed at the prospect of the United States’ trade having a lower tariff in Cuba than that of Ger­ many, no one supposes that even a col­ lective protest on the part of the Con­ tinental countries would cause either the United States or Cuba to recede. Germany’s position, however, is to be defined clearly, so that the United States may not complain when Ger­ many gives other nations preferential treatment. "The principle which the German Foreign Office lays down in entering upon the commercial treaties corres­ pondence is ‘give and take.’ The ‘most favored nation’ theory is really aban­ doned. Special conventions are to be drawn tip to fit different situations. This principle seems to be accepted by Russia, Austria and Italy, and the trade policies are to rest upon the reci­ procity idea. “What is the subject of some concern here is that, shofild the Cuban treaty be accepted and found to work well, similar treaties may be arranged by the United States with Mexico, Brazil and Argentina, ultimately resulting in the United States obtaining a monopoly of all the South and Central American markets.” It need not be urged that Germany will not act alone in taking the course Indicated In tbe above report. It is a matter of course that she will readily find sympathetic and substantial co­ operation in measures calculated to re­ sist the trade monopolizing program of the United States. We shall find on our part, and very likely to our discom­ fort, that preferential tariff tinkering is a game that more than two can play at, and that unless we are prepared to extend to practically the whole earth favors and preferences which we are proposing to extend to Cuba alone, we are kindling a blaze that in time may make things very hot for us. It looks as though reciprocity in competitive products might in the long ran prove a destroyer rather than a builder up of foreign trade. It is more than suspected that al­ ready the State Department has been advised by our foreign representatives of the displeasure with which the rec-i- procity program as laid out Un to date has been received in European cab­ inets. WouJd It not be well for the Senators to ask for information and call for correspondence along this line? TRADE BALANCES. CTntIer a FaUo Economic Srslcm creal Britain U luiim lrlnz Her Capital. In a recent trade review circular is. sued by Bolling & Lowe, a prominent London firm, the following significant paragraph occurs: “It is estimated that in tlie first nine months of 1902 the adverse trade bal­ ance is at the rate of £178,000,000 per annum, and it is questionable whether we are not paying out of capital for some of these imports, ami not from earnings, when we remember that the dividends and interest received ia this country from foreign investments are worth about £C6j4 millions a year, leav. ing £107 millions to be made up out of shipping profits.” This is a remarkable showing when brought in contrast with the favorable trade balances of the United States, averaging close upon $500.600,utn a year for the past six years, it is a gloomy showing for free trade Great, Britain, and it has brought into bold relief the question whether the Nation can keep on paying out so much more than it takes in. Profits from the shipping industry will fall far short of making good the annual deficit of $535,000,990, after deducting the $333,- 000,000 received as dividends and inter- est from foreign investments. Ocean freighting in ocean ships will yield lit­ tle if any more in net profits than one- half of $535,000,000. The balance must mainly be provided by impairment of capital. Mr. Cnvuegic touched upon this branch of the subject in his rectorial address at the University of fir. Ar,- drew’s when he drew attention to the fact that Great Britain every year buys of foreigners $300,000,000 worth of supplies, most of which she could aud would produce if she wouhl give io Iicr own producing and purchasing capac­ ity the same attention that she gives to foreign markets. For example, as Mr. Carnegie pointed out, Belgium sells Britain over $100,000,000 worth yearly: Germany sends $5,000,000 worth of rloth goods and $5,000,000 worth of but­ ter. and eggs; France sends $98,006,600 w*orth of silks, woolens and leather goods; Denmark sends nearly $60,000,- 000 worth of butter, eggs, bacon, etc.: Norway, Sweden and Holland each send $7,p00,000 worth of butter, anil Holland adds $5,000,000 more for gloves and glass ware. Not one of these countries buys one-half, and most of them not one-quarter, as natch from as it sells to Great Britain. Kvcry one of them milks the Britislt people a I a ruinous rate, mainly because British free trade neglects to provide occupa­ tion and a home market for its own people. The same state of things lias from time to time prevailed in tin* United States, but always under free trade, aud never under protection. Mo are able to pay $200,000,000 a year iu freights to foreigners, $75,000,000 a year in interest and dividends 011 Iut'- eign investments in America anil STa- 000,000 a year in tourists’ travels nsil expenditures abroad, and yet have p from $100,000,000 to $200,000,000 M ■ to comc our way, and all because, un­ like free trade Great Britain, we ta»n I care to provide occupation ami a ' profitable home market for our own people. The practical workings of two widely different economic systems cutild no be more plainly illustrated than In t » enormous adverse trade balances <• tree trade Great Britain anil Uie kuvj favorable trade balances of protected .United States.

Benedict Arneld In 1775. The prestige of Arnold at the be­ ginning of the revolution is thus re­ flected by Prof. JusUn H. Smith’s de­ scription In the January Century of the heroic ‘‘battle with the wilder- ness" in the march to Quebec, under Arnold's command: The name of the leader, too. excit­ ed enthusiasm. Dorothy Dudley and the rest of the ladies in Cambridge loved to gossip about a man whom they described as ‘daringly and desper­ ately brave, sanguinely hopeful of restless activity, intelligent and enter­ prising,’ gay and gallant; and the sol­ dier lads told one another admiringly how he marched through the wicket- Sate at old Ticonderoga shoulder to shoulder with Ethan Allen! how he threatened to break into the magazine at Mew Haven unless the selectmen would hand over the lseys within five minutes, when his company heard the news of Lexington and wanted to set out for Cambridge; and even how ho v.sed to astonish the other boys, years before, by seizing the great water- wheel and going around with it through water and through slcy." The much vaunted gallantry o£ the Gaul, says an English paper, does not extend to bis financial dealings with the dames de la paste, as the women- clerks' of the post-office are called. They receive only- $200 to begin with, and out of this have to dress decently, if not smartly, and to support them­ selves. They petition for an addition­ al $40, which will not give them the pay of an average English clerk of either sex. The dames de la poste consider they are badly treated by the nation in the matter of salary, Their case is championed by the novelist, Marcei Prevost. M. Prevost holds that a democracy with immense funds at its command should not be niggard­ ly with women employed in one of the most important branches of the pub­ lic service.

FAST MAIL DERAILED Engineer Daniel Davis Crushed to Death. FATAL WRECKOF 97, KEAR CONRAD Two White Hoboes Riding o n the Tender Miraculously Escaped Injury. Charlotte, N. C., Special.—While run­ ning about 60 miles an hour the South­ ern’s fast mail, No. 97, ran into a large rock on the track near Conrad, three miles north of Lexington, Monday evening at 7.07 o’clock, and was totally wrecked. Engineer Daniel Davis was killed and the fireman, a negro whose name could not be ascertained,-is miss­ ing. It is supposed that he also was killed and that his body is under the debris that litters the track for several hundred feet. The fast mail was delayed on ac­ count of the wreck of a freight train at Jamestown and was running about three hours behind time. The cut where the accident occurred is not long and is about 30 feet high. There is a curve on the northern side of the cut, and it is supposed that Engineer Davis did not see the rock until he was Quite dose to it—if he saw it at all. The rock v/sis very large, so large that the colored track walker who saw it short­ ly before the accident occurred was un­ able to lift it from the track and was running to Lexington to get-sufficient force to remove the rock when the wreck occurred. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DE­ MOLISHED. The engine, striking the obstacle with terrific force, broke it into thous­ ands of pieces and scattered it for a hundred yards along the track. Plung­ ing out of th° curve, the engine left the track, and swerving 30 feet from the rails, hurled itself over and over again in. a long, level iield. Two hundred and fifty feet from where the rock was struck the engineer was thrown from his cab, hurled cut among the mass of heavy bodies, was caught under the front mail ear, which was denuded of trucks and pinioned to the earth. The engine, immediately after strik­ ing the stone, became a tumultuous mass of steel and iron and was so scattered along the rails and in the field as to suggest that it had been the victim of an explosion. Only the cab seemed to be even partly intact. The cab was 30 or 40 feet from the track, lying ia a pool of water. Railroad men who examined the cab stated that the engineer had not put on air brakes, and inferred from this that he was against the rock before he was awaro of the imminence of danger.TWO THAMPS MIRACLLOUSLY ESCAPE. The tender followed closely in the wake of the engine and in some mira­culous way proved a place of safety for two white hoboes, J, E. Gudger, of Spencer, and Walter Whitmire, who rode on the forward part of the tender, just next to the engine, of course, and yet escaped without a scratch. TheJ were carried with the wreckage for nearly a hundred yards, and yet step­ ped off the torn up tender without having suffered "even inconvenience. These hoboes stated that just before the aeuident occurred they heard the sound of an exploding torpedo and think that this was a danger signal placed on the track by someone. Yet railroad men maintain that no one, except the colored track-walker, was aware of the fact that the rock was on the track.MAIL CLERKS UNINJURED. Te conductor on the fast mail, Mr. Dunheller, and the mail clerks also had a wonderful escape. According to reg­ ulations, the mail clerks should have been scattered, or distributed, in the three cars, but it so happened that for one cause and another all the clerks, as well as the conductor, were in the rear coach at the time of the accident. Beyond being pretty badly shaken up none of the occupants of the car suf­ fered any injury. The mail clerks were: C. T. Miller, chief clerk; T. S. Clark, W. T. Brewer, C. T. Benson, William Simms and J. E. Gudger. CARS TORN FROM THE TRACKS. When the heavy bodies ceased their movement after the wreck, the rear mail car was just at the point where the engine struck the rock in the cut. The forward trucks were gone, and the front part of the car was considerably smashed, but the rear trucks were still on the track and the car was in a prac­ tically upright position. All the other cars, as well as the en­ gine and tender were shorn of trucks. With their violent impetus the solid pieces of flying iron tore up the track for over 200 feet, lifting the rails and crossties and hurling them -in every direction. WRECKING CREWS ON THE SCENE Shortly after the wreck wrecking crews left from Spencer and Greens­ boro for the scene of the wreck and at this hour—2:30 o’clock—are busy re­ moving the debris. The track is so badly damaged, however,, that it is likely to be a good many hours before traffic will be resumed.General J. D. Glenn, of Greensboro, one of the attorneys for the Southern, was one among the Southern officers who saw the wreck last night. Taking the sanie view of the matter that is held by other railroad men, General GIenn considered that the presenc.e of the rock on the track was accidental and that the stone had become loosen­ed by the rain and rolled down from the high embankment. There was an unusually iarge auan- tity of mail on the three cars, but none of this was injured. Killed by Voicino. New York, Special.—The steamer Allegheny, which arrived from West Indian and Central American ports brought tidings of an eruption of the old volcano Deitierna Firma in Colom­ bia, near Galeria Zambie on March 23. Tbe village of TiojQ was destroyed and from 60 -to 100 persons were killed and wounded. During the night of SIarch 24 Bases from the volcano were seen by passing vessels at a distance of sixty miles. Killed in Street Fight. Opelika, Ala., Special.—In a street fight here J. L. Moon, deputy sheriff, was shot through the arm, and John Long, a well-known citizen, was in­ stantly killed. Sheriff Hodge, who, fired the shot that kiiled Long, nai-rpw- Iy escaped death, several bullets going within a foot of his body. The firing began when the two officers offered' to shake'hands with Long and his com­ panion. • Jnstead of accepting the proffered IiandslLong pulled Ma revol­ ver and began firing at Moon. AN INGENIOUS MERCHANT. How He Was Able to Ascertain Cer­ tain Facts by a Little Ruse. Recently a wealthy merchant in Paris, who does an extensive business In Japan, was informed that a promi­ nent firm In Yokohama had failed, but the name of the firm he could not learn. He could have learned the truth by calling, but, to save expense, he went to a well known banker, who had received the news, and requested him to reveal the name of the firm. “That’s a very delicate thing to do,” replied the banker, “for the news is not official, and if I give you the usme I might in&ir some responsibil­ ity.” The merchant argued, but in vain, Dud finally he made this proposition: “I will give you,” he said, "a list of ten firms in Yokahama, and I will ask you to look through it and then to tell me, without mentioning any 'name, whether or not the name of the firm which has failed appears in it. Surely you will do that for me?” “Yes,” said the banker, “for if I do not mention any name I cannot be held responsible in any way.” The list was made, the hanker looked through it, and, as he handed it back to the merchant, said: “The name of the merchant who !las failed is there.” “Then I’ve lost heavily," replied the merchant; “for that is the firm with which I did business,” showing him a name on the list. “But how do you know that is the firm which has failed?” asked the banker, in surprise. “Very easily,” replied the merchant. “Of the ten names on the list only one is genuine—that of the firm with which I did business: all the others are fictitious.”—Tit Bits. The Food of the Red-Shouldered Hawk. A bird most unjustly persecuted as a chicken thief is the red-shouldered hawk, which with another innocent species, the red-tailed hawk, is shot by ignorant peopie for the evil deeds Df those mischief-makers, the goshawk, the sharp-shinned hawk and Cooper’s hawl;, all of which occasionaly visit* the poultry yard. F or' two months last year I kept three full-grown red- shouldered hawks in a IaTge enclosure with forty chickens of various sizes, and although I purposely allowed them to become quite as hungry as they would have been in a wild state, they never injured a single chicken. On the other hand, they would quickly kill and devour live snakes ar.d frogs. The result of this experiment is not, per­ haps, conclusive evidence of the inno­ cence of this species, but it tends to show that red-shouldered hawks may be trusted even in the farm yard. Both red-shouldered and red-tailed hawks live chiefly on mice, though they vary their diet with reptiles, frogs and in­ sects. Very rarely do they molest birds of any kind.—Woman's Home Companion. At the Kindergarten. “Would you bo sorry if your mam­ ma was to die?” asked the smallest little girl on the bench as she pains­ takingly threaded her needle and fell to work on her hemming. “Oh, what a silly question!” replied the plump girl with a blue pinafore who sat next to her. "Of course I snould.” And she gave a vicious tug at her thread to shake the knot out Cf it. “Weil, I shouldn’t be sorry if my father was to die,” put in a thin little woman of eight. The other looked shocked and asked why. “Oh, he’s too fresh,” replied the Hiin girl in accents of deepest disgust, B. B. B. SENT FREE.

We keenly resent this crowning insnlt in being thus humiliated, as such treatment was only there­ fore meted out to localities where local white government was in danger and this outrage to'ns in revenge for certain independent votes cast in the election last November.

Thousands of testimonials prove this, and in nearly every instance the writer bas stated that the fits ceased after the first dose of Ne'*- vine was given. The statement is reoeated in- me following: “Seven years ago my wife commenced having spasms or fits and I called in my home physician and he said she was para­lyzed. He rubbed her with salt water and gave her calomel and she eventually got some better, but in a short time she had another attack. She was confined to her bed ior three months and the doctor could not help her. She had fits frequently, some times veiy severe. Her han'ds would cramp so we could not open them and site finally got so her jaws Would become locked, mally I saw the doctor was doing her no- good and ordered a bottle of Dr. Miles* Re- scorattve Nervine. She received so much benefit from the first bottle that I got some more. Shie has .taken a number x>i bottles but has never had a fit since taking the first doffe.

Let Democrats attend their own conventions, nominate aud elect their own ticket. - “ Walk into my parlor, said the spider to the fly” Xot much. JJeinocrats beware! Uegister, vote a solid Democratic ticket.” Sow as to whether a Democrat should enter a mass-meeting or not is a mutter for him to decide. NYe are of the opinion that pai Ii zin politics should uot be injected into our town election. There are no high salaried ^offices~at' stake, aud the people of the town of one accord, should only desire the building up and advancement of our town, aud all should unite as one man for that purpose. We «ue nothing about, the polities of Mocksville's town officers, just so we have a fair aud busiuess like administration of the towns affairs We have^voted for a mixed ticket at about every town election since our residence here.

Kow we all know that this money is 'not. being judiciously expended. A certain amount of this fund should be set aoide for'permanent improv mi ut of die streets and side-walks each year. 'Why eoutinne allow­ ing this money to run through the Siiiiieoldrathole each year with no permanent work done? Clean ingout ditches and scraping grass is a poor way toj spend this money year after year. The Demociats do not pay all the taxes, and if they did that is no reason why it should uot be judiciously spent in permanent improvmpnt:. better make each man who owns proper Iy fronting on the streets keep up his siile-waiks, and cut down the tax rate and use what is collected for street improvements. We care very little about who holds the ofiii-es, but we do want better re­ sults for the money we contribute to the town treasury, No lights on our streets at night, wade thro­ ugh mud and water to ,our..homes, and let the people's money contin­ ue to ruu throiigh.'the same rat hole, but above all take the Times advice, and “ vote a solid Demo­ cratic ticket.” That is the busi­ ness of the tax; payers. We can stand it as well as others. Qreat Scotts, The Cleveland Plain Dealer deals the following: “Are the farmers of the west exacting too great a profit npon their investment? Oughttheynot to be content with lower prices, aud should not the federal autho- ities be invoked, as it is against the steel, oil and sugar producers, to prevent foodstufi producers •from growing suddenly and enor­ mously rich at the expense of the great commou people? “These questions were present­ ed in a little pamplet prepared by Prof, Davisson of the social econo­ my department of the State Uni­ versity, showing that not even the tobacco or steel trust is reaping as big dividends from its investments as the formers ot the state of Ne­ braska.” The above is au indication of the conditions which may soon confront the farmer. Our Demo­ cratic friends are the great trust busters, and if the formers contin­ ue to prosper, and get good prices for their prod nets yon may look out for a hue and cry to be raised against high prices for the farmers products. Ta? Eepa blican party believes in reminerative prices for the farmers stuff, and for the man­ ufacturers to realize a profit on their goods in order that they may be able to pay the lahorer good wages, realizing that with­ out the one, the other is impossi­ ble, and that labor and capital are interdependent upon each other, the prosperity of one, means the prosperity of the other, under the principle ‘-united we stand, divid­ ed we fall. The Bepublican par­ ty believes that great combinations should be restrained in such a manner as to prevent oppression, and injustice. And just as soon as steps are taken along this line as in the recent Merger decision, you can see a disposition on the part of Democracy through its press to take back water. The best definition of Democracy, is opposition, its got-to oppose some­ thing. S Hardware Company, Succ essors to Crawford-Brooks Hadware Company, WINSTON-SALEM N. C.

Blair, of Winston-Salem, Treas­ urer, for the Fnsuing Year. R.C. OGDEN IS ELECTED PRESIDENT Ur. Alderman and Dr. Mclver Re­ sponsible for the BeKlnnlnK of the Present Revival. ! Richmond, Va., Special.—The attend­ ance at the meetings of the Conference for Education in the South was large and enthusiastic. The following offi­ cers "were elected for the ensuing year: President, Robert C. Ogdon, of New York; vice president, Edgar G. Murphv, of Montgomery, Ala.; secre­ tary, B. J. Baldwin, of Montgomery, Ala.; treasurer, W. A. Biair, of Win­ ston-Salem, N. C. The executive and resolutions committees are: Executive: Chairman, 3. B. Valentine, Richmond; J. G. Brown, Raleigh, N. C.; R. B. Ful- ton, Mississippi; President Caldwell, of the State Normal School of Louisiana; Superintendent C. B. Gibson, Colum­ bus, Ga.; B. F. Houston, Texas; Presi­ dent Jesse, of the University of Mis souri; Superintendent G. P. Glenn, Jacksonville, Fla.; S. A. Minders, Ten­ nessee; H. H. Snider, South Carolina; committee on resolutions, Richard Watson, Gilder, editor of The Century; United States Attorney General P. C. Knox; E. C. Bronson, Georgia; State Superintendent Joyner, North Caro­ lina: E. C. Sanford, Knoxville, Tenn. Dr. Lyman Hail, of the Georgia In­stitution of Technology, was the first speaker at the morning session. He de­ clared facetiously that if the move­ ment continued its work, the people of the South v,-ouId be talking of “Darkest New England,’ ’and referring to “illit­ erate Boston.” He took a most encour­ aging view of the future of the South educationally and industrially. The next address was by Josephus Daniels, editor of The Raleigh News and Observer, and a member of tho national Democratic committee from North Carolina. He started out by say­ ing that there have been four obsta­ cles to educational progress in the South: I. The negro, enfranchised against the protest of the people, who were forced against their will to pay taxes to educate him; 2. Poverty, grinding poverty, following war and reconstruction such as this generation knows not of; 3. The lack of qualified teachers and the lack of inducement to capable men and women to become teachers; 4. Geographical difficulties. The greatest of these obstacles has been and is now and must be at least in this generation, the negro. He has been the lion in the path, the ever pres­ ent and often insurmountable obstacle to public education." Mr. Daniels took a hopeful view as to overcome all these obstacles and touching the greatest, said in part: "There is a class, and in that class, I believe most of the thoughtful people of the South are to be found, and feel that, whatever may be the result, they dare not shut the door of hope and opportunity to any people any­ where—the negro in the South, the In­ dian in the Wes!,, the Filipino In Ma­ nila. They hoped; they believed, they trusted, that eventually it would prove beneSoiDl, because they have faith that light and knowledge will surely bless wherever they abound. The last speaker was Dr. J. H. Kirk­ land. chancellor of Vanderbilt Univer­sity, who made an interesting talk on teachers and the State. The conference then took a reeess until 3:30. The fine audiences attending the ses­ sions of the Conference for Education have continued lo the end. The Acad­ emy of Music was again thronged at night, the members of the conference and the ladies with them being re­ enforced by many of the most promi­ nent people of the city, not only edu­ cationally speaking, but as respects so­ ciety, the professions and all lines of business and industry. The speakers were Dr. Walter B. Hill, chancellor of the University of Georgia, who spoke on “Negro Education at the South,” and Hamilton W. Mable, associate edi­ tor, and Dr. Lyman Abbott, editor, of the Outlook, New York. Dr. Abbott’s theme was “Impressions at the South,” and he spoke eloquent­ ly of the revival of education repre­ sented by the conference. The highest education, he said, is that for service. Industrial training, instead of being looked down upon, should, and would, eventually, be believed, be regarded as of the highest type in its direction. He paid a glowing tribute to the hos­ pitality of Richmond and expressed joy in the growing unity of the country. The civil war, he said, taught the North and South to respect each other as they had never done before. Refer­ ring to the suffrage, he quoted Henry Ward Beecher to show that many men In the North believed that placing the boilot in the hands of the negro could not be a success until the black man should fit himseif to exercise the priv­ ilege intelligently. The ballot is a pre­ rogative and a responsibility, he said, rather than a right. Manhood suffrage is the thing, he continued, but it must be remembered that manhood .comes first and suffrage second. Dr. Abbott closed with a beautiful forecast of what the present educational revival will re- sult in, of what the twentieth century- wili effect in the way of perfecting manhood. He attributed the beginning of the present revival, by the wayr to a certain evangelistic trip made some 14 years ago through North Carolina p ytwo young men, Dr. Alderman, pres­ ident of Tulane University, New’ Or- . leans, and Dr. Mclver, president of the Normal Sehool, at Greensboro.

Lfineoin, Neb., Special.—Passengers of a Burlington passenger train were robbed of $1,000 early Friday morning, as the train was leaving Burlington union station, in Lincoln. The work was accomplished mostly while the passengers were in the depot asleep Later the robbers operated on an im­ migrant sleeper. Conductor and porter, with the passengers, were herded into one end of the car and the searchers held the crowd back with guns The robbers escaped. T A I HEEL CROPS Conditions During the P ttt Week Qlven Out. The reports of crop correspondents tor the week (ending April 20 Indii cate that the weather conditions have been decidedly unfavorable both for farm work and for the growth of crops. The temperature averaged from 3 degrees to 3 degrees daily below the normal, ranging from a maximum of 74 degrees to a minimum of 34, the latter temperature occuring at Ashe­ ville the morning of April 18th, with killing frost; light to heavy frosts also occurred in the central and east- ern portions of the State on Saturday morning with Blight damage to vege­ tation. The most unfavorable feature for the week was the frequent precipi­ tation. Though not excessive in amount rain fell on five days of the week, with snow in the mountains on the 15th. The rainfall was least in the southeast portion of the State and in that section plowing and' planting made some progress. On the 14th severe local storms with hail occurred in several western and eastern coun­ ties, with much damage to truck and strawberries in limited localities, chiefly in Beaufort, Graven, Sampson. Cumberland and Columbus counties. The lack of sunshine, the cold north­ erly winds, and soaked condition of the soil prevented much work of any kind, and farming operations are now very backward; moreover the cold wet soil is very unfavorable for the rapid germination of seeds. A few farmers have finished plant­ ing corn on uplands in the east, but very little corn has been, planted else­ where, and what was planted early is coming up very slowly. Some cotton has been planted in the south portion. Tobacco planted are well advanced, and many plants have been, set, though most of the land is hardly ready yet. While a majority of re­ ports indicate that winter "wheat is still in fair condition, many corres­ pondents state that the crop has re­ ceived much damage from bessian fly; chinch bugs are injuring wheat in many fields; the cold, wet weather has caused much yellowing and rust is spreading. Irish potatoes are com­ ing up fairly well. Gardens have made vary little progress. Fruit in the west was further injured by frost this week, but there will be plenty of peaches, plums and a good crop of ap­ples. In spite of unfavorable eondi- ■jHions for ripening of berries and ma­ turing of truck, shipments of these crops were large during the week. Convicts Esctps. Wilmington, Special.—Twelve con­ victs, serving terms aggregating ten years on the New Hanover chain-gang, made a dash for libeity Monday morn­ing as they were being taken out of the stockade at Castle Haynes, and seven of them succeeded in making _ good their escape. John Taylor, serving 12 months for larceny in Wilmington, was shot and almost instantly killed by the guards and two others. Andrev/ Lee and another, serving short terms from Columbus county, were overhauled and returned to stockade. Sam Leary, ser­ ving 12 months, and Charles Bryan, serving 00 days, from Craveh county, were captured by colored guards sta­ tioned at the northeast river bridge, which they attempted to cross. John H. Carter, white, serving six months, from Columbus, was also captured. J. P. Hughes, white, serving four years for bigamy from Columbus county, was wounded as he ran, but has not been re-captured. Forney George, colored, from Columbus, was also wounded, ac­ cording to reports by convicts captur­ ed, and several others are surrounded In a swamp near Castle Haynes. Two of the remaining convicts at large are from Columbus, two are from Craven, and two are from New' Hanover. Pine Products Company. Fayetteville. Special.—The Pine Pro­ duct Construction Company, of which Mr. Alfred A.

This is an en­ terprise of great importance to this part of the State. The company will put in use a new process in the manu­ facture of spiritine and other pine pro­ ducts, by whieh the time consumed in distillation is hastened. inspectors Called In. Washington, Special. — Postmaster General Payne has ordered the discon­ tinuance of the services of the entire staff of inspectors of cancelling ma­ chines and has directed them to return to the postoffices to which they are ac­ credited.

Influenced By Outsiders. Paris, By Cable.—Alfred Dreyfus has submitted to Minister of War Andre a lengthy letter, in which he earnestly asks for the re-opening of his case by means of an investigation by the Minister, as the supreme head of military justice. The letter, which is dated Paris, April 21, confirms the reports that Dreyfus had been living quietly for S1Ome time. It promises to cause a tremendous agitation among the various elements of the political groups for and against Dreyfus. The first part of the letter is an earnest plea that the court whieh condemned him at Rennes was improperly in­ fluenced, first, by the annotated docu­ ment ascribed to Emperor William and, second, by the false testimony of one of the witness.es, Czernski. After arguing on the extent to which these contftbuted to his con­ demnation, Dreyfus recalls in graphic terras the long series of horrors to which he had been subjected. The let­ter throughout is couched in a highly, •dramatic style, which is likely to make it one of the notable papers of the case. It refers to Esterhazy as “one. who stands before the entire world as the culprit.” One of the pas­ sages, showing the rhetorical style, is as follows: “I will not recall, Mr. Minister, what I have endured since 1894, Pic­ture to yourself the horrors of a Bol- dier whose life was devoted to duty, to work, to. loyalty, and to profound de­ votion for his country and who in an instant is stripped of his good name and despoiled of the honor of himself and his children. For five years this soldier i3 subjected to horrible suf­ ferings. They seelc to crush him physi­ cally, to annihilate him morally. He is absolutely innocent of all crime and struggles in vain to penetrate the mys­ tery, proclaiming his innocence and struggling with all the forces of his mind and body for that supreme pleas­ ure of vindicating his good name and character. Days, months, years pass thus in most cruel agony, amid the tortures of a murderous climate. At last he is brought back to France, the guilty one is discovered and the sol­ dier hears himself proclaimed inno­ cent by those who before reviled him as a traitor. It was thus, Mr. Minis­ ter, that I hoped to see my martyr­ dom elided. But alas if I returned to find the devotion of friends who had battled for the' truth it was to find also that deadly hatreds bad been un­ loosed. “In the processes of 1894 I wa 3 stab­ bed in the back; I cannot imagine how such conditions can prevail through falsehood and deception. But so it was and my second condemnation was but an aggravated reafiirmation of what occurred in 1S94. When the guilty one was known and unmasked and Ester- hazy was recognized as the author of the treason, the same men who had cheated justice in 1894 again sought in 1S99 to cheat justice for the second time by the same criminal manoeuv­ res. Conscious of these methods, the government Cf the republic will not permit itself to keep in prison one who is knowii to be innocent. ''In constant thought of ultimate le­ gal revision, I have reassembled little by little all the divergent elements of testimony contributing to my convic­ tion. I have remained silent with the firm conviction tliat justice would surely have its day of triumph. The victim of criminal tactics and viola­ tion of the law twice committed against mo, now I address myself to the supreme chief of military justice, and, supporting myself by new facts which have been elicited and by the existence of the pretended bordeau and note by Emperor William I am going to ask that you institute an in­ quiry first upon the uses made, of this false document at Rennes and the consequences it produced on those rendering judgment; second, upon the false and fraudulent testimony of Czernuski at Rennes:” Instructions to Be Opened. Buffalo, Special.—Attorney Wallace Thayer will open the sealed instruc­ tions left him by the late Arthur R. Pennell. The instructions are supposed to relate to the disposition of $25,- 000 of life insurance held by . Mr. Thayer by an assignment in trust for Pennell. The document will be pro­ duced in court tomorrow. The insur­ ance money, it is believed, is intend­ ed for-Mrs. Burdick. Nsgro Beaten to U^ath. Bainbridge, Ga., Special.—Monday night at an early hour Andrew Rainey, a negro, was taken away from Con­ stable Bell by a mob-and so badly beaten that he. died. The constable was on the way to this place with Rainey to place him in jail to await trial on.a charge of arson. He was sus­ pected of having fired the residence of Fred Lange, a farmer, thirteen miles in the country, in the night time and when the family were asleep in the house. Near the town the mob over­ took the deputy and prisoner and de­ manded the latter under pain of death. Rainey was terribly beaten amd his skull was fractured. After the beating he was carried to jail, where he died this morning. Injuries Not Serious. Pensacola, Fla., Special.—The dam­ age to the steering gear of the battle­ ship Iowa by the bursting of one of the steaxn pipes iii‘ the Gulf does not seem, to be as serious as was at first reported and the injuries can be repaired at the local navy- yard within a few days. The ship’s officers will Kiy very little regarding the accident. The cause .of the mishap has not yet been determin­ ed, hut it was probably a leak in one of the pipes.

A Condition Sn SatUfaotorr Xhat Donbtrnl Experiments W ith Oar Economic Syj- tem Would Sesm to Be Neither K ec csiarj Nor Ueilrahle. The export trade of the United States is rapidly resuming its normal condi­ tions. It exhibits no pressing need of artificial stimulants In the form of special trade treaties. February fig­ ures of the Bureau of Statistics show the largest exports of any February in the history of our commerce, and nlso show that the exports of the three months ending with February were larger than those of the corresponding period of any earlier year. On the im­ port side, the figures also show a con­ tinuation of the growth which has characterized the last-two years. The figures of the eight months ending with February suggest that the imports of the United States in the fiscal year 1903 may exceed $1,000 ,000 ,000 , while the export figures seem likely to ex­ ceed §1,400,000,000.' In the short month of February alone the exports amounted to $125,502,105, which is $12,000,000 In excess of any preceding February, and more than double the figures of February, 3893, in which month the total exports were $58,931,934. Taking the three months ending with February, 1903. the total exports are 8407,528,200, against $215,- 151,471 in the three months ending with February, 1S93. Thus consider­ ing either the month of February or the three months ending with Febru­ ary, 1903, the total exports are not only larger than in that period of any pre­ ceding year, but practically double those of a decade ago. The following table shows the total exports from the TJnited States in the three months of December, January and February, from 1S93 to 1903: 3 months ending Total with February. exports. 1693 ........................... $215,151,471 1894 ........................................ 244,067.2S@ 1895 ........................................ 222,089,544 189«................. 257.201,049 1S97 ............. 200,958,895 1898 ........................................ 328.39S.088 1899 ......... 347,279,191 1900 ........................................ 300,292,160 1901 ........................................ 395,172,480 1902 ........................................ 807,656,414 1903 ........................................ 407,526,200 The outside world keeps right on buying of us much more than it sells to us, and we keep right on increasing our purchases from abroad because wc "are prosperous and able to buy.

Dpeu Advocacy of Tariff KeJucUon itud Reciprocity In Competitive ProdncU, Governor Cummins comes out openly for immediate tariff revision and focj reciprocity in competitive products. He expands “the Iowa idea” farther than ever before in the direction of free trade. He announces, moreover, his intention to nationalize that “idea” by using ever; means m his power to se­ cure its indorsement and adoption at the Republican convention of next year which will nominate candidates, for President and Vice-President and adopt the p¥rty platform. As between the platform advocated by Edward M. Siiepard at the Iroquois Club banquet in Chicago and the plat­ form advocated by <3overoor Cummins in. Des Moines there is little to choose. Mr. Shepard is now, as always, a free trader, while Governor Cummins is a "reformed” free -trader, who shows marked symptoms of a r-lapse. The speech Governer Cummins will help to clear up the political at­ mosphere. The country now knows wnat to expect. If the Governor's lftans do not miscarry, tie Iowa del-1 gation will undertake to force immedi­ ate tariff revision and reciprocity iA competitive products npon he Repub­ lican National Convention next year. Without attempting at this time io predict the outcome of that undertak­ ing, we desire to commend Govtrnor Cummins for frankness and plain speaking. Republicans now know ex­ actly -what "the Iowa Idea” is, and we think they will know hew to deal with it A CteH o f Koxitrosltiat.

Harrisburg, Pa., Special.—Svery im­ portant newspaper in Pennsylvania was represented at the hearing on the Grady-Salus libel kill by Governor Pennypaeker in the hall of the House M Representatives. Attorney General Larson sat with the Gdvernor through­ out the hearing, but neither indicated what would be the Governor’s actiOn on the measure. The opening speech was made by Charles Emery Smith, of The Pniladelphia Press. At the outset of Mr. Smith’s address Governor Pen- nypacker took exception to his use of the word ’’insolently” and suggested that it would be well for the speakers to omit strong adjectives. Mr. Smith th°- s“ggcstion, saying at the cabs. h-fL V N h0 Fpake strongly be-. Sn part ^ stroagIvV. Mn Smith said “This bill is utterly powerless to stop tne particular kind of publication which it aims at. but it encompasses legitimate publications with an un­ limited network of Cm bari assment and vexation; it would cripple and curtail me presentation o? the regular and Pioper news of the day; it would star! up a whole swarm of speculative shys­ ters and curbstone blackmailers: it in- tnnges the jii3 t and constitutional lib­ erty of the press and would impair ih-’i valuable protection for public morals and public rights which is found in th» searchlight of publicity; it is snecial legislation in undertaking to make a law for newspapers while excepting the weekly newspapers from its opera­ tions; it perpetrates a gross wrong in seeking to fasten the principal’s re­ sponsibility upon the agent, where the agent not only does not commit the of­fense but where he has not even the power to prevent it.” Alexander-Simpson. Jr., and Rich­ ard C. Ditle, both of Philadelphia, spoke in favor of the bill, and Thomas vr. Cooper, a member of the Legisla­ ture and Cyrus G. Day, an aitornev, against it. . The libel bill provides that, civil ac­tion may be brought against any own­ er or managing editor of any newspa­ per published in Pennsylvania to re­ cover damages resulting- from negli­gence on the part of such owners or managing editors in publications af­ fecting the character, reputation or business of citizens, and that compen­ satory damages may also be recovered for “the physical and mental sufferings endured by the injured parties,” and whenever such publication is given spe­ cial prominence by the use of cartoons, etc., the jury shall have the right to award punitive damages against the defendants. It also provides that every newspaper published in Pennsylvania shall publish on the editorial page, the name of the owner, or'owners, togeth­ er with the name of the managing editors. Strike Leader killed.' Charleston, W. Va., Special.—Au other tragedy growing out Cf the bat­ tle between striking miners and deputy United States marshals at Stauiford City last February occurred near that place Tuesday, when John Harless, one of the strike loaders, was shot and killed by John Liang, and a man named George, who went with Deputy Marshals Gunningliam and Summers to arrest Marless. Cunningham and Summers went to the house of Har­less, accompanied by Laing and George. As they approached the house the two latter were stationed some dis­ tance away to stop Harless, in case he should try to esreape. Harless, seeing Cunningham and Summers approach­ ing, made an attempt to escape from the opposite side of the house. Laing and George called on him to halt and as be continued to run they killed him. Harless is said to have betn one of the strike leaders at the Staniford City fight. Further trouble i3 feared as the result of the killing of Harless. Ihe Reichstag Opcnrd. Berlin, Special.—The train on which the President of the Reick3 tag, Count Von Ballestrem, was travelling was dug out of the snow in Silesia in time for him to reach Berlin and open the Reichstag Tuesday. The general elec­ tion will not occur for seven weeks, but so little remains to be done that the house will probably adjourn early in May. Most of the session today was devoted to a discussion of the pro­ posed changes in the election regula­ tions, which have been submitted to the Rundsrath and which are designed to provide greater secrecy in balloting. The bill was passed. Fifteen Years For Train Wrecking. Fairfax Court House, Va., Special — The jury in the case of Robert Hamil ton. charged with wrecking the New York and Florida express on the Southern Railway at Ravenwcod, Va., on February 25, when two people were killed, brought in a verdict of mur­ der in the second degree and fixed the punishment at Yo years in the peni­ tentiary. The verdict was a great sur­ prise, as a verdict of acquittal was ex­ pected. Judge Love overruled a mo­ tion to set aside the verdict, but sus­pended execution of sentence for sixty days to allow the prisoner to take an appeal. Voluntary Raise In Wages. Knoxviile, Tenn., Special.—Five of the largest coal.companies at Jellico, Tenn.-, have voluntarily granted a 19 per cent, increase in wages to their employes. Notices were posted at the mines-'today that the increase is to date from April I. So far only about 1,500 men are affected but United Mine Workers officials -believe that all mines at Jellico and several at Coal Creek, Tenn., will voluntarily make the same advSnce. An Extra D.videud. New York, Special--The Central Trust Company has declared an extra dividend of'20 per cent., payable May I, in addition to its regularly quarter­ ly dividend of 15 per cent. This is equal to an annual dividend of 80 per cent. The company has been paying dividends at-the rate of 60 per cent, since January, 1990. “ For two years I suffered ter­ ribly from dyspepsia, with great depression, and was always fceung poorly.

As Much Enjoyed by the Smell Boy as by the Epicure* The demand for frogs is great* It has increased with the years until now at almost every banquet of importance the dainty is on the menu. AU gf the larger dining places use from six to ten dozens per day. Of these crea­ tures, Whichj according to a scientific fraper* are Waiting to be classified by law as to Vvbether they are fish or animals—just as woman had to wait for centuries to find out whether or not they had souls—there seems to be no especial variety for eating. They, are caught anywhere, and, as a' small boy said: “All.frogs are good to eat if they are not toads.” Boys and girls with nets much like those used in catching butterflies, only much stronger, can be seen making for the small streams and. ponds that spot the fields about San Francisco* The average small boy is an expert in catching, killing and dressing the palatable creatures. It is no Unusual sight to see away off in the field from around which a few sturdy young sons of America are busy preparing a feast. They broil the tender, white flesh, which they sprinkle with salt and baste with a bit of butter, carried rerhaps in a cinnamon can in a pocket along with fish-hooks, keys, marbles and string. The frogs may not be served on silver shelis; they may be garnished only with a spray of fresh watercress, but I wager they are en­ joyed as much by the youngsters, who are their own chefs and waiters, as a similar dish otherwise cooked and sei'ved would be by grown-up be- whiskered epicures. Jcke on Dr. Lorenz. One Cf Dr. Lorenz’s compatriots chuckles every time he tells this an­ ecdote, which is told as an actual oc­ currence in the great surgeon’s ca­ reer: “The doctor wras always very chari­ table and treated a great many people gratuitously. Among them was a poor little girl in whose case he was deeply interested. One morning Dr. Lorenz happened to meet her mother, and was surprised to hear that his patient had died a few days before. “Why didn’t you send for me when the change came?” he asked. “Wo were going to do so/ sir, but we thought it better to let the dear child die a natural death,” was the tearful answer. If a man has no master greater than himself his service must always be degrading. “ POOR DIGESTION LANGUID AND TIRED.” [An Interesting Lettsr Concerning Pe-ru-na.] M is s Della Jajweau MissDelliV Janveau, Giobe H ot;!, O ttaw a, Out., is from one of the oldest u »1 best known French Canadian fam ilies in Cana'Ia.

I COUNTY N EWS J Wrong Victim. STew Orleans, April 18.—It is now established beyond doubt that the negro killed near Shreveport by the two police‘officers as the murderer of Mrs. Frank Matthews and her little daughter, and whose body was burned by a mob, was not and could not have beea the murderer; Hewus reported as Ed Porter He turns out to be Albert. Washington, from the Vaoce plan­ tation iu Bossier, «iio had come to Shreveport to find his wife, who Iiad deserted him. Hs was seen at Ihe plantation at au hour that rendered it impossible for him to have committed the murder, and id spite oi the burning of-the body he was identified by a bag bearing his name tound iii his pocket by a number of articles on his person and by his shoes. Cal Vance, up­ on whose plantation Washington worked, says that the victim, of the mob was a good negro in whom he had every confidence. The above shows the dangar of mob law. A mob has no proper conception of right. But aveng­ ing crime, they are often trans­ formed into savages, defying the law which every citizen of this country is sworn to uphold. Like the Jewish mob who led Christ be­ fore Pi lot, tliii.-iliug for the blood they crucified the Sou of God. Its time for people to unite in sup­ pression of lawlessness.

It is now' known that he twice perjured him­ self before the Cole county grand jury when called upon io testify there as to his knowledge of bood- ling, or the payment of money, in regard to legislation. Oq both cas­ es he swore that- he knew of no attempt on the part of any man or men to use incney in any form to aid or influence any legislation at Jerfferson City or elsewhere. At the time he took these two sol­ emn oaths was in pratical posses­ sion of the check for $1.000 sent to him by Boodler Kelley of the baking powder trust, to control him. After his first testim ony he was recalled and repeated the perjury in detail. "" Wood’s Farmi SeedsI Cow Peas M . Soja Beans Two of the most important crops for farmers every where.

Washiugton, April, 24.—The cotton crop of India in the last season, according to a repo’-J-T Consul Ficeat BomtaniV^X* «i 7 314 bales of M e - V "?s2,817,; pounds, licingan 1I^cveWeof 489,832 bales over the yield for the previous season, and 709,STl bales over fbt average for the previous live years. The ar­ ea under cultivation was the high­ est reported in the last decade and exceeded that of last year by 8.12 pei- ceut.. while the average yield per acre—72 pounds—was propor­ tionately higher than in the in crease in average. In the Lark- hana district the returns showad a yield ol 300 pounds to the acre. In a table showing the destina­ tion of the Indian' cotton crop of the previous year it is shown that nearly half of the entire product went, to Japanese mills, which took 1,350,091 bales. The above shows what the Southern States will have to con­ front possibly very soon. When­ ever the time comes that Africa and India produces cotton suffi­ cient to supply the foreign demaud am? no cotton is exported from the United States, the price, ol oar cotton will go down, and then the South will elamor lor a protective tariff on her cotton. Already cotton is being imported to the States. We expect to see the South one of the strong holds of the protective policy in the near future. <1«*na Robbed The Grave.

Corruption in Delaware and Pen­ nsylvania is a great crime, but in a Democratic state its a small mat ter. TheRaleigh Post has been criticising the governor of Dela­ ware for failute to approve a law the interest of pure elections, but does not open its mouth in condemnation of its own crowd in this state for its failure to pass the law introduced by Mr. Dobson a Republican of Surry county in the last Legislature for the pun­ ishment of fraud and illegal meth­ ods at elections, although Mr. Ayeoek pledged his party in his inaugural ad dress to give ns a pure honest enforcement of the election law. Read the following: ‘■In a certain county in this State a Sheriff was heard the oth­ er day to ask a registrar for some tax receipts which he has had since before the election last fall. He was a Democrat too.”—Times Mercury. The above shows what Demo­ cratic officials will do, in order to carry elections. That Sheriff op­ enly and flagrantly violated his oath of office others did it, but have they been indicted? Nb! If he was a chicken thief you would hear from the Divine rulers.

So far as known, no foreign govern­ ment has claimed this territory, and to preclude the presentation of any such claim, Secretary Moo­ dy has taken steps to have the islands properly charted -as the property of the United States, af­ ter having every effort made to learn whether any other government has any ground for claim to the new islands, A naval vessel prob- aly will be ordered to thesouthern part of the archipelago to prepare the necessary charts. Army Studying Hard to Qive .Soldier With Lep­ rosy His Pay. Washington, April 24.—A cur­ ious case involving a leper soldier iu the Philippines is before the War Department, having been re­ ferred to the judge advocate gener­ al to determine in what manner tke afflicted soldier shall receipt for his pay. The leper is an enlis­ ted man in the artillery, and at present is isolated in South Caro­ lina. Pay officers don’t care to have him handle the rolls to sign the receipt for his pay, so some arrangement will be made so the soldier can be paid through power of attorney.

There is nothing more necessary to health than sleep and rest. If these are denied you, if you rise in the morning more tired than when you went to bed, there is an affection of the nerves plainly present. If your heart is weak, or there is an inherited tendency in that direction, your weakened nerves wiil soon ?o affect your heart’s action as to bring on serious, chronic trouble. Dr. Miles’ Ner­ vine is .a- nerve tonic, which quiets the nerves, I so that sleep may come, and it quickly re- , a view o f ascertaining, stores the weakened nerves to health and ' 03strength. Dr. Miles’ Heart Core is a great bloocT and heart tonic which regulates the ac­ tion of the heart, enriches the Nood and im­proves the circulation. “Some time ago I was suffering severely with heart trouble. At times my heart would seemingly stop “beating and at others it would beat loualy and very fast. Three to foiir hours sleep each-night in ten months was all I could get. One week in lsr-t September I never closed my eyes. I got Dr. Miles’ Kervine and Heart Cure at a drugstore in Lawrence- burg, after spending $500.00 in medi­cines and doctors in Louisville, Shelbvville,Frankfort, Cmcmpati and Lswrenceburg, and iu three days have derived more benent from thfe use of .your, remedies than I got from all the doctors and their medicines.

Washington, April 24.—The case of the soldier leperreferred to in yesterday’s dispatches is the first ever known in the Army. When-the disease first developed the man could have been dischar­ ged for disability, but it was de­ cided to keep them in service in order to give the stugeons an op­ portunity to study the disease.-A special house wa& built for him near Fort- Screven, Ga., and he has been living there nearly three months. Au army surgeon who has had some experience with the disease has been detailed to attend him and to study the disease with if it.ean be cured. The pay of the man is turned over to the captain of his company, who has been authorized to receive it, and who makes such expenditures as are necessary from time to time for the man. Ifo re­ ports have been received from the surgeon.
