Aprominent North Carolinian who has been eminently successful as a business man, in a recent in terview declared that one could do best in that which he loved best. “If he has started in a busi ness which he cannot learn to love” said he, “than he should go into some other business. Hewill never succeed in this age of competition unless he cau find real pleasure in his work. The making of money is not a sufficient incentive. He must find his highest enjoyment in the task itself. No man who works abiding citizens j along that line cau fail. That is huiil principles and justice; my judgement based on my own K.oa = ?...lf demand redress for an 1 community that has su fi lling while white-robed jus- sat with drooping wings. Be crimes of the past are as cfmipared to the late arch of all, coinmiEled almost un ite siiudow of our temple of mi that too, while our i in daily session. Percy met his deatn from a eowar- wus-iifs bullet for apparent- n other reason than tliathe re- •1 w Itavc town at the dicta te .f those who assumed to car- : de functions of the Iarv for . lust know to themselves, us ■ w arrested through the in experience and my observation.” That is equivalent to saying that man should be consecrated to his work: not consecrated in any sanctimonious sense, but in the sense of hiving service. As a Bichmond clergyman said in a dis course on Snuduy last, those who profess and call themselves Chris tians are not expected to separate themsel ves from the busiuess and professional world. They are ex pected to go in and out among men in their several vocations, and set an example of honesty, fair dealing, thrift, enterprise and and faithful, service. In short, that is the duty of every religions lip.ion of some one previous to man Io show how professional OcliiSi Imuble on a trumped-up ttawimm which he was exouer- • OI J Iy t-, have been a pretext ■jS'rid of him, failing iu which fe-.aae a marked man- Before Hetlaag act of this life-tragedy a sore expedient was resorted 'lMferof intimidation. “Leave te within 24 hours,” came as a os UiKe e: warning to Jones. Con- work or busiuess work or mechani cal work ought to be done, how a recent events t his man iu that vocation, whether he be a preacher or editor or lawyer or doctor or merchant or manufac turei or farmer or mechanic or what not should conduct himself in his vocation. ,This necessarily implies a love of the work which one’s hands find to do, and the man who gives to his work that Li,i/',L5 if IilyIug done nothing to' sort of conscientious zeal will have k --iriven out of town for, he ap- ii-.ied the kw lor protection. This sealed his doom. “I do not 'feire any trouble with any one,” Jtid he, “but I will not be driven “K !ike a ilug. They may kill me asilorrynie out a corpse, but'I ■-lit nver be driven.” He is in ifWtyet. but he sleeps in Maple- irWiL temcterv—■-a martyr to the Iirihf Tnope. of a new era for the largest measure of success —Times Dispatch. Eevery word of the above is true and being true, how can ODe love to do that which is dishonest? How can one love to cheat and swindle his ueighboros? How can men who hold themselves up to the world as leaders endoise and encourage others in doing wrong? Take the ballot box thief and per- v jurerforan example, has he fol- '1 the slayers of Percy Jones j lowed bis vocation so long that he sIttliis writer presumes not to say I has learned to love it?

Addition to The Capital YVe noticed in the Charlotte Observer last week that Architect Milbuvn of S. C., passed through from Kaleigh where he had been at the instance of Gov. Avcock and others to draft a plan for a three hundred thousand dollar addition tb the State.Capital. If the plans are accepted, the committee it is said will ask the Legislature at its next session to appropriate the nec essary amount.

More feathers from the goose. * Anarchy In-Kentucky. The Louisville Post, discussing the lasest Kentucky tragedy and the situation since upon its scene, says.: • ‘The situation in Breathitt will not yield to ordinary methods. The disease is deep-seated. Anar chy reigns, and no man’s lifeis safe who dares in Breathitt county to contribute anything to the de tection of crime or to punishment of guilt.” This is a horrihle state of affairs to exist in a civilized county and in view of it the Gov ernor of Kentucky would be fully warranted in calling out the state troops and visiting. Breathitt coun ty with fire and sword. This con dition of things is “intolerable and not to be borne,” and there must be some overwhelming rea son whv the Governor permits a whole county to set law at defiance and to remain for even a day in a state of inrnrrection.—Charlotte Observer. Lack of Common Sense. It is astonishing that, while in no other entirely independent na tion in the world except Great Britain is there any important group of electors which .oppose the policy of Protection to home in dustries, in this country it will evidently be the principal issue of the next Presidential campaign. And yet no other nation ever be gan to receive such benefit from Protection as the United States has received and is receiving, nor have its beneficial results ever elsewhere been so often or so over whelmingly demonstrated. That it should be possible to raise the Tariff issue at all here does not speak well for the good common sense of a great number of our people.—San Prancisco Chronicle.

C . No Need of Hast. The whole question is oue on which we need not act hastily. The pros and cons of all the schedules need thraskiug out and, as Tariff- tinkering is now impracticable, it seems to us that .Roosevelt's and Root’s programme is a good one:’ Let prosperity alone. Tariff agitation on one schedule naturally spreads over all, and all schedules can best be revised after November, 1904. should business conditions then invite. At all events, the revision of the American Protective system by its friends in 1897 seemed to work a good deal better than revision by its enemies in 1S93.—Boston Journal.

Put Him Dp. If the Democrats wants to make a real test on the Tariff question in 1904 they should by all means put up Grover Cleveland as their candi date. If such is to be their pur pose he is the logical, the only nominee. In the hearts and minds of the American people the name of Grover Cleveland is unalterably linked with poveity, ruin and calamity and despair. Put him up and sac what will happen to him. —Economist.

Tlic question is. W hy do we need protection for our industries w hen our commodities are exported to nearly all parts of the globe?~J. A. Hinsmark.? ANSW ER. Tour question, “W hy do we need pro tection for our industries y iien our commodities are exported to nearly all parts of the globe?’? will not appear, upon examination, so far “beyond rea son” as you seem to think. F irst of all, out of our total annual production of $15,000,000,OOO iii manufactured pro ducts only three per cent., or §450,000,- 000, are exported to foreign countries. The remaining ninefy-seren per cent, is consumed by our own people. The need and the function of a protective tariff Is to insure to our manufacturers this m arket which consumes ninety- seven per cent, of their output. Pro tection says to these m anufacturers: “This m arket, this opportunity is yours. Make the most of it.” , How do they make the most of it? Under the guarantee of settled and stable condi tions which insure to them a. m arket, for their output those m anufacturers’ have so expanded, so improved, so de veloped m anufacturing methods and processes; by. the introduction of labor saving macliinery Uiey have so cheap ened the cost of products or have so lowered the percentage tliat the labor cost bears to the finished article that they have gradually and steadily, and, in the final outcome. Immensely cheap ened the general average of prices In this m arket as compared w ith prices for sim ilar articles in periods of time prior to the full development of the protective policy. This could not bo done in the face of the uncertainties and dangers of for eign comiictitlom Before the manu facturer can decide upon his total out put for the current season or year he m ust know upon w hat m arket lie can depend. Knowing this and being as sured that through the operations of tiie protective tariff this m arket can not no taken aw ay from him, he can now proceed with certainty, methon ana exactness. Vvc will suppose he nas arranged to produce 1000 units and has made all his preparations for such a production. It turns out that owing to the superior style, finish and quality of the ircods produced or for some other reason he can find a sale for something moro than his 1000 units in foreign countries. H e can very easily increase his output to 1500 units, we will say, aDd in so doing will diminish flie per centage of cost of production. To illus trate: He can produce 1500 tons of hardw are or 1500 yards of cloth at a much lower percentage of cost for the 1500 than for the 1000 tons or yards originally arranged for. Hence it will follow that he can m arket his surplus production, if necessary, in foreign countries at a slightly lower rate than that which prevails In the home m ar ket, Not much of this kind of discount on export sale, however, is done. The amount is greatly exaggerated by those w ho oppose the policy of protection. It stands to reason that when the produc ing capacity of our manufactories is pressed to its lim it to supply the home demand, as is actually the .case in the existing conditions of phenomenal pros perity, our producers w ill not feel greatly* tem pted to sell goods abroad a t a reduced price, and they are hot doing this to any considerable, extent AVhat they are doing is to employ American labor and pay American w ages to vast numbers of American workers, and the country is growing richer and Ticher by leaps and bounds a s-th e result of this eminently wise, and senslble policy.' Take aw ay protection and. you open this yast m arket of 80,000,000 of liberal consumers to. the competition of de pressed and overloaded industries in the Old World, where the price of labor is from one - half to one - quarter the standard of American wages. F or ex ample: German is now undergoing a period of hard times.,, A sim ilar condi tion prevails in England. Both of those countries would be greatly relieved and enriched if they could dump their sur plus products upon the United States m arket. This they are unable to do be cause of our protective tariff. To per m it them to do this.w ould be to dis place an equal am ount of domestic production and w ith it a corresponding am ount of employment and wages in this country. Either that, or we would be compelled to put in force ip. this country a genera! and sweeping reduc tion of wages in order to lower the cost of production so as to be able to. still control the m arket against foreign cm* petition. There being practically no other w ay of reducing production cost, thef-reduction m ust mainly fall upon wage^. . The protective tariff says this shall not be done,,anti it w ill not be done so long as the right to control the great domestic m arket Jsreserved to the gen eral body of domestic producers. Our foreign trade In manufactured products is $ mere bagatelle, a drop in the bucket. I t m ust always remain so, a t least so long as the wide difference between the American rate of wages and standard of living and the rate of wages and standard of living which prevail in foreign countries is main tained. For m any years it w as the favorite contention of free traders that our country could not m aintain a protective tariff and at the same tim e carry on trade w ith the balance of the world, ifiyents have proven the utter raisity .or lliis contention. Under the operation of a purely protective tariff in the last six years the foreign trade of the Uni ted States has nearly doubled, our ex ports of m anufactured products for for eign countries have doubled as com pared w ith 1895, and our sales of agri cultural products and raw m aterials have correspondingly increased. At the same time, owing to conditions of great prosperity which have prevailed here, our purchases of commodities and m aterials'of foreign countries have enormously increased, having now reached upw ard of one billion dollars annually. We are, as a m atter of fact, considering our ability to produce at Imme most of the things that we re quire, the most liberal purchasing na tion on earth. The fact th at our purchases from are less than our sales to foreign coun tries is due wholly to the operation of the protective tariff. It enables us to take our pay’in money or its equivalent —such as the cancellation of foreign debts, the liquidation of two hundred millions annually paid to foreign own ers of ships, the seventy-five millions annually expended in foreign countries by American tourists — instead of re ceiving, our pay in foreign made.m cr-. ekandise w e get oiir pay virtually in cash. Our apparent, trade balances for the last six years have averaged from four hundred and fifty millions to six hundred millions a year. In those six years we have paid enormous sums in liquidation of debts owed to foreign ers in repurchase of American securi ties owned abroad, and a t the same time these trade balances have enabled us to take care of the tw o hundred millions yearly of freight charges and the seventy-five millions yearly of money spent by our tourists abroad. AU this time we have kept our own la bor employed and have increased in w ealth at a rate hitherto unknown in the history of nations. AYe m aintain the protective tariff be cause of its known fruits. W e reject the free trade- policy because of its ■ known disasters and horrors. AYe have a condition of absolute free trade be tween forty-five States and Territories, the largest free trade nation in any part of the world, but to the ouside w orld we say, “W e are sufficient unto ourselves so far as our mechanical in genuity, our enterprise, our inventive ness and our skill enable us to supply our own w ants. AVe propose that this republic shall do its own work.” That is protection. The wisest and best brains in the country have accepted tills policy-as final and permanent in its relation to the prosperity of the coun try. If we can m aintain protection and prosperity at home, while at the same tim e selling to the outside w orld all surplus of production so much the bet ter for us. r> Towa Farinorg rro tc c tto n U K The farm ers of Iow a are protection ists.

A contributor to The Mother’s Jour nal speaks up in support of the so- called “self-sacrificing m other drudges” who are represented In the popular imagination as working themselves to the bone in order that their daugh ters may lead lives of idleness and luxury: T he m other■ In the- kitchen scrubbing up the floor, while the daughter in the parlor, dressed In pur ple and fine linen, thrum s on the piano—somehow it isn’t a pretty pic ture. But while the daughter is-plen- teously . censured for perm itting it, says this writer, nothing is said of the son for whom perhaps the mother is tolling quite as hard to give a college course. As a fact, however, why shouldn’t a mother toil thus for both her loved ones if she so desires? If that is the way, or one of the ways, in which she finds heiVWrppiness, why on earth shouldn’t she do it? And then the article continues: “In the m ajority of ‘toiling m other’ cases the real fact is that the mothers are un consciously selfish pleasure seekers rather than sacrificial victims. Toil ing to educate their children and give them social pleasures and lives of hon or is perhaps the supreme joy and recreation of their lives. If there is anyone who really enjoy3 life and leads a happy, care-free existence, It is the hard working, stay at home mother who lives, in her children. In them she renews' her youth and often sees the high ideals of her own girl hood realized.” MAKINQ CANEQ TO ORDER. Fashion* Change In This as In All Things Else. “Fashions change in canes, as they do in everything else,” said a manu facturer who know s. all about the fashionable trade. “Last year our cus tomers were calling for rough wo^d in its natural state, without any orna mentation. .They wanted canes made almost as thin and as light as whan- gees. So many cheap imitations had been made of silver-mounted smooth- wood canes that men of fashion would not look at them. This year we are returning to silver mounts, but in de sign* made to order that it will be almost out of the question for im- porters of cheap German silver to imi tate. In umbrellas the large handles of rough wood stilt hold favor with the men. It is no longer fashionable to decorate them with initials. A man likes an umbrella that he can pick out at sight from a bunch of others at hi3 club or elsewhere. Some men will have the crdoked'handle so that they can hang their umbrellas on a hook in a hat rack, and we have to manu facture a few of them to m eet the demands of the trade. Women always go in for something odd, and usually expensive.” Roof-Breaking Crows. For a long tim e the Public W orks Department in . Victoria, B. C., had been puzled to account for the con fined leakage in the roof of the drill shed, Sn imposing building with a slate roof and solid-looking towers in front. In spite of frequent repairs, slates would persist in falling down. A thorough investigation showed that the trouble was caused by crows, who swarm on the beach at low tide and dig for clams. The birds found out that a clam dropped on the roof of the shed would break nicely, leaving the contents In a safe and convenient spot for leisurly consumption. Near ly every time a clam was dropped on the roof a slate would be cracked as well. Scarecrows have been erected, and no crows have visited the roof since. - The Marine Engine is Alive.

T h rillin g E x p e rieu c e s o t Farmers I iiP a r to f F o r s y tli County. That portion of this county ly ing six miles west of the. city of Winston was visited yesterday af ternoon about 5 o’clock by ’one of the most remarkable and dislrum tive hail storms within thememory of the oldest inhabitants. It is doubtful if this storm was ever equalled in this or any other sec tion ior size of the hail stones and in the phenomena that small fish, perch variety, fell with ' the hail and some incased in the stones. Backed full oi kail stmes were brought into the city yesterday morning and some of them after laying in the sun that followed in the afternoon measured six and one half inches in circumference and weighed eight ounces each. The roots of several houses were totally, wrecked while others had holes beat in them through which a boy could crawl. Cattle were badly bruised, two pigs were killed chickens and other fowls, both young and old were crushed, win dow glass and shutters were des troyed, growing grain was beaten down and ruined and people were injured. The storm covered an area ot a mile or more in width and lasted for twenty minutes followed by rain. The storm passed in the neighborhood of|Crater"s mill whe re live Henry Shutz Philip Mack, Sheriff Adspangh, Calvin Ryan, P. E. Burke, A. E. Nifou, Henry Transou and others. The last nam ed was one of those who brought in a bucket of hail stones. Mr. Andrew C. Snipes is authority for. the statementthat fish of the perch variety, fell with the hail, making the statement to Sheriff Riggins that he had been shown a bucket containing both the hail Imd the perch that fell with it. In Mr. Sheetz yard ten or more hens and guineas were killed together with a number of frying size chickens. Henry Johnson, four miles out on the Cleiumonsville road had two pigs killed by the . hail. His son was struck on the face and it was badly laceiated by the falling ice. Mr. James Pegram three miles out on the Holloman place, wras struck on the head, the hat was cut through and a painful cut made on the head. It was the roof of the dwelling of Mr. Sheetz that holes were beat ' through which a boy could crawl aud his barn was altogether unrooted. At the power house on Yadkin river 14 miles out., the glass of the windows were shattered and other damage done The storm lasted for 20 minutes or more, followed by.rain, and the ground was cov ered with ice. In the city here the bail was light, but many of the stones were three quarters of an inch long by half an inch wide, The extent of the damage is not jret known as it has not been learned the distance the hail fell. Although it was doubtless the most remarkable hail storm that will fall here for year’s and years to come if ever again, and in all probability, years after the present generation has passed out of existence this storm will be referred to not only as remarkable, but as a date from which many events yet to take place will be calculated or fixed.—Journal i j COUNTY N EWS I Knrfees News.

Notable Rulings By Attorney Genera! Gilmer. An examination of the 1903 rev enue act reveals the- fact that the annual license of distillers issue on May 31st, whereas the Watts bill putting ont of business all those distillers outside of incorporated towns does not go into efiect until Juljr first, so there is no provision for operation of these distilleries daring June. At the request of State Treasurer Laey Attorney General GUmer on yesterday7 ren dered' an opinion to the effect that the treasurer can instruct the county sheriff to issue a license for one month at prorata rate. There is another case in which the enacting clause of schedule B says all licenses shall be to May 31 and then father on under the' same schedule section 70, providing a $40 annual license tax on dealers in pianos and organs and says the licenses shall be from July I. This leaves also, that- no licenses for less than one year shall be issued. This leaves no" provision to cover business by these dealers between May 31st and Jnly I. The state treasurer asked Ithe attorney gen: eral for a ruling in this case also. In it he holds -that the treasurer must instruct the sheriffs to collect “It has bean five years since I was cured of heart trouble by your Heart Cure and Nery- ine, and I am just as sound as a dollar in that organ today.

Washington, Special.—As a result Df the sweeping investigation of af fairs at the Po3toffice Department, Thomas W. McGregor, a clerk in charge of the supplies for the rural free delivery service, and C. Ellsworth Upton, of Baltimore, one of Mc Gregor's assistants, Friday were ar rested on the charge of conspiracy with, Charles E. Smith, of Baltimore, to defraud the government in the pur chase of the leather pouches furnish ed the rural carriers throughout ths country. Their4 cases make seven ar rests in all since the investigation be gan. Other arrests are expected later. The story of arrests is best told in the following official statem ent given out by Fourth A ssistant Postm asier Gen eral Bristow. “Thomas McGregor and C. Ells worth Upton were arrested Jhis after noon upon w arrants sworn out in Bal timore by Inspectors J. D- Sullivan and R. D. Simmons, charged, with, a conspiracy with Charles E. Smith and others, to. defraud the United States government in the purchase -of* pouches from C. E. Smith, of Balti more. The complaint sets forth that McGregor and Upton agreed with Smith to obtain for him orders for many thousands of leather pouches, such as are used by rural letter car riers. The price agreed upon was 90 cents per pouch. The actual value was less than 50 cents. Smith was to pay to them the difference between 90 and 50 cents per pouch. It is stated at the department that the actual number of pouches which were purchased ex ceeded 20,000, for which the govern m ent paid 90 cents each, or $18,000 in all. Smith received and retained of this for his own use $10,000. The re maining §3,000 was paid to McGregor and Upton. The government could have bought the entire number of pouches from the manufacturers for $S,000.” McGregor has been in the postal service since 1891. He came here from Nebraska as a messenger and subse quently was promoted to a clerkship and finally was appointed by Mr. Machen, in charge of the supply work of the rural free delivery service. Mr. Upton is a Baltimorean and has been in the postal service for 13 years. Both the men arrested are married. They were taken into custody at th5 Post- office Department shortly before the close of office hours. Upton asked to be taken before u commissioner at Baltimore instead of in this city, be cause of his wider acquaintance there and better opportunity for securing bail. Accordingly he was taken to that city by two postoffice inspectors shortly before 6 o’clock this evening. McGregor was taken to the office of United States Commissioner Taylor* McGregor has been under the close: surveillance of ’ the inspectors for weeks, and has been subjected to a close examinatin for several hours a day. The fnspectors;say that they com pleted the evidence they wanted be fore taking decisive action. Postal officials after the arrests would not say w hether their investi gations in any wise implicated Mr. Machen, who was general superinten dent of the system, while the alleged transactions occurred, in the present m atter. Fourth A ssistant Bristow, when asked a question on this point, declined to answer, saying that the statem ent made public comprises all the departm ent cared to give out on the subject at this time. Mr. .Bristow also declined to say what action was. likely to be taken in the .case of C. E. Smith, the Baltimore contractor, who! is named in connection with the case. Mr.* Sristow said,'* howevefv that ihe, two arrests close the case for . the! present. i , Congressman Ball to Resign.

Columbus, O., Special.—The Republi can State convention closed Thursday with much alliteration in its battle cries. W hile Senator Foraker was prsh siding, the delegates added TQ iJie “H s” the cry of “Han^a,*. Herrick, Harding and Harmony?’ W hile all conceded that it was ‘‘H anna’s year,” he would' not use his influence, except for the head of the ticket, in naming his neighbor, Myron T. Herrick, for Gov ernor. The Senator’s friend, George B. Cox; of Cincinnati, named W arren G. Harding for Lieutenant Governor, and Wade Hampton Ellis- for Attorney General. The ticket nominated, fol lows: Governor, Myron T. Herrick, of Cuy ahoga; Lieutenant Governor, W ari’^n G. Harding, of Marion; Auditor, W. Er GullhcrI, of Nobel; Treasurer, W. S. McKinnon, of, Ashtabula; Attorney General, W sde H. ElliS, of Hamilton; judge of Supreme Court, A. N. Sum mers, qf Clarke; school commissioner, E. A. Jones, of Stark; member of the board of public works; George HL W atkins, of Pike. W hile Senator Foraker expressed his gratification over the ticket and tiic results generally, he was especially gratified over the unanimous adoption of a resolution which endorsed Presi dent Raoseveirs nomination, ’ as well as his administration. It had been an ticipated, as Congressman Nevin said today, that Senators Hanna and For- aker would lock horns over the en dorsement of Roosevelt’s candidacy, but instead they locked arms and are now leading the Ohio Republicans la this campaign more harmoniously than ever. There never was more talk about fix ing a slate in advance of the conven tion than this year, but the balloting indicated that such was not the case, for at least some o£ the minor places. At any rate Hanna and Herrick did not exercise their personal influent “in giving the word,” and left, the hail before the nomination for Governor took place.The platform indorses Senators Hanr na and Foraker, promising H anna sup port for re-election and commends President Roosevelt's fidelity to duty, his adherence to President McKinley’s policies, and his own proved ability in his high office, showing him in every way worthy of election by the people to be their Chief M agistrate, and fa vors his nomination for President in 1904. The platform favors better roads, extension of labor legislation in every way equitable to all, especially to se cure for labor just recognition of the settlement of differences. • Liberal pen sion legislation, encouragement to. our merchant marine, stim ulation of iocal bank circulation along safe lines to secure elasticity of circulation; indor ses' Governor Taft’s administration of the- Philippines and commends “the rapid and steady progress made in the preparation of the Philippines for the fullest practicable degree of self-gov ernment.”.t As to, foreigp ,affairs, the platform indorses the 'policy 'of developing the navy to th e ' highest efiiciency, and says: '“Our foreign policy o f’equity to all has made the United States the peace-maker of the world, guarding weaker nations fro aggression and giving the Monroe doctrine a vital force greater than ever before.” Regarding the protective tariff poli cy the platform declares: “We oppose all attacks upon this policy, whatever the pretext, as tending to bring back the disastrous days of Democratic tariff revision and free trade. Chang ing conditions and the possible benefits of reciprocity may call for timely, re adjustment of schedules, but protection as ,a principle and as a, policy m ust be ^administered by the friends of Arafeui- ciBi prosperity aivd m ust not be sacri ficed. *t' J f 4 ‘ * i : . . . ‘ComJiiiatIon^for the monop'oly of trade and kindred unlawful purposes are directly amenable to penalties pro vided by Republican legislation and their vigorous enforcement in the courts. No worthy interest is imperiled but whatever will work public harm is restrained and that without resort to the Democratic plan of destroying all American industries through tariff re vision or otherwise. If further legisla tion should be found necessary, the Re- nublic party can’be depended upon to enact and enforce it with equity and safety in every legitimate interest ‘Ohio was the first State with soil forever free from the stain of slavery. Pledged by the great creative ordi nance of 1787:, to-the fundamental prin ciples of civil .and religious liberty and bound thereby to forever rem ain a part of the United States of America, Ohio was foremost in the war to .pre serve ‘the indestructible union of inde structive States,’ and adheres firmly to every amendment which that war wrote into our country’s constitution as binding in honor upon every Ameri can citizen. Therefore, we hold fast to the doctrine of equity everywhere in the exercise of the elective franchise, m aintaining th a t justic requires any State excluding any of its citizens fr.om the ballot to be" proportionately reduced in its ,representation in the electoral college and the lower house of the national Congress. Senator Foraker, on being intro duced by Senator Hanna, as permanent chairman, made a speech in which he highly eulogized Hanna, saying he had risen above detraction until he stood in the very front rank of the Senate’s most influential members, and no one does more than he to fashion the poli cies of hia party and determine the laws of the nation. Senator Foraker characterized President Roosevelt Vis a man ot brains, of courage and of pur pose and predicted his trium phant re- election. Jefferson Davls Arch.

Slayer of Ludlow Skinner Out of Jail on ffeavy Bond GABEAS CORPUS WAS SUCCESSFUL Ten Thousand Dollar Bond is Easily and Quickly Given, and Haywood Goes Home a Free Man. Raleigh, Special.—Ernest Haywood, the slayer of Ludlow Skinner, was Wednesday afternoon released on $10,- 000 bail, Judge Douglas ’and .Walker deciding that the case was bailable. The decision of the court was ex pected and in consequence a large cro'wn of people filled the building. Judge Douglas had a bundle of pa pers in his hand, which he laid on the desk. In a moment he took from his pocket an envelope and read its con tents, which was the decision of him self and Judge W alker in this notable case. This paper was as follows: THE DECISION. N orth Carolina, W ake County. In the M atter of Ergest Haywood, Pe titioned. This is an "application for bail upon the return to a w rit of habeas corpus heretofore issued by me at the instance of the petitioned. The State was rep resented by Solicitor W alter E. Daniel and associate counsel and the defen dant-by his counsel. Judge W alker, at my request, sat with me. After a care ful consideration of all the testimony and argument of counsel, we are of the opinion that, as the case is presented to us, under the rule laid down in State vs Herndon, 17, N. C., 934, the peti tioner is entitled to bail.It is therefore ordered and adjudged that the petitioner, Ernest Haywood, give bond with good and sufficient sureties in the sum of $10,000 condi tioned as required by law for his ap pearance at the next term of the Su perior Court of the county of W ake'ttf answer the indictment now pending against him, and' upon approval of the said bond by me or by the clerk of the Superior Court of said county, the sheriff will release the prisoner from custody.It is further adjudged th at the costs nf the State in this proceeding be paid by the county of W ake and that the petitioner pay hi3 own costs, the said costs to be taxed by the clerk of the Superior Court of said county, includ ing the usual fees of the officers. R. 0. M. DOUGLAS. Justice of the Supreme Court of N. C. June 3rd, 1903. W hen the words “entitled to bail” were spoken, there was some applause, not much, which the sheriff and Judge Douglas quickly checked. The next thing to be done was to prepare the bond. Blanks were ready and the prep aration of the bond was effected on the spot, the required oaths of justifica tion being taken. The bond was really for ?75,000. The bondsmen were Alfred W. Haywood, H ubert Haywood and Edgar Haywood, Mothers of the defndant, $10,000 each; Er. F. J. Haywood, a cousin, $5,000; W illiam M. Caunders, of Johnston county; Henry Ei Litctiford, Joseph F. Ferail and W. Z. Blake, $10,000 each. It required only 25'mimrtes to readvthe decision and give bond. As sobn. as the decision was rendered several per sons gathered around the defendant and shook hands with him, and many more did so after the bond had been prepared and the judge had directed the sheriff to release him. In a minute 01 two more Haywood, accompanied by His brothers, walked to a carriage in front of the court house and was then driven, along quiet streets, to his home on Newbern avenue. The crowd poured out of the court house. Five Killed in a Wreck. Columbia, S. C., Special.—Six miles out from , Sumter an excursion train on the Atlantic Coast Line, loaded with negroes coming into Columbia to spend the day early Wednesday morn ing ran into, a washout caused by a cloud-burst the night before. Conductor Clements wag instantly killed, as were four of the negroes, trae .J)enng a wo man. and about 30 passengers were In jured.. Engineer W.ilson. was badly scalded, but not .‘Seriously-. lSJured. Sur geons wefe sent on extras from* both Sumter and Columbia. A negro who saw the washout made a desperate ef fort to warn the train with a piece of red paper In his hand, but the engineer either did not see fife signal, or saw it too late. Killed: J. J.

It is estimated* tlifit the total titiniaso to crops and live stock in tlip. Ivaw Valley will be, ip the nolsklsoriiccd of *40.000,000. Tlie damajre to tbo wh^at cron'of’ this State from the flood will not lie nearly great as xrniay have estimated. In Mie first place, m any of the sreat w heat comities were not in the iiood district. The flood orisrluat^d in the w heat helt, but came through only the eastern part o£ it. Tlieii the upland w heat is entirely free from the effects of the flood, even in the flooded counties. Of course, iji the bottoms, where* a s\v*ft current has washed over the fields Iho crons are destroyed, but suoli fluids probably will not aggregate a third of the acreage ii> the flooded connt>p. while they will amount to oiuy a small per cent, of the total aercage of the State. A great dancer to t h w heat r-rcm Ir that the eoniiimnd cold, w et w eather lias caused the wheat to rust. W hether this is the cns><» cannot be ascertained on account of the condition of the tele graph wires, but it is in’obabie that considerable wheat rusted. The damage to the corn has probably been greater than tlmt- to the wheat. JCot nearly all the corn lias byeu nlanted, because of tho wet VreatliC*, but a great deal which Iia^ been planted has either be?n washed up or covered so deen that it will not grow, and much of that which remain? is so weedY because of the continued w et weather that it will be almost impossi ble to get the weeds out.

It has been impossible to nnlfivnte th«»m on account of the wet weather.

REPRESENTATIVES ARE IGNORED R efnsed !recognition. a« M em bers o f tlie C onciliation 15onrd—T lie O perators 1st- fine a Statement' UefinInAT Their Posi tion — Mitchell Declines to Predict W h a t W ill ISo th e O utcom e. W ilkesbarre, Ta.—A fter arranging.to call a . joint convention of the Mine W orkers' Union, in Pottsville, on June 15, to determine whether a general sus pension of.work shall b£ ordered until the operators agree to recognize Dis trict Presidents Nichols, Pahey and D ettry as members of the: Conciliation Board, the district boards adjourned. W hile this w as being decided Messrs. Luther, W arrlner d Connell, the op erators* members of the Conciliation Board, after sereral dorrs’ conference over the loner distance telephone, agreed to issue a statement.. This declares that the sole trouble is .due *o their de cision not to recognize, l ie three dis trict presidents' as meinbers of the union. It'is on this point that the dis-, pute rests. The operator./ statem ent is; “Referring to the official announce ment of the representatives of the Uni ted Mine W orkers of America, the con tention ,of the operators’ representa tives elected to the Board of Concilia tion is that the recognition of the Jni- ted Mine W orkers of America w as i.ot one of the questions subm itted to tho commission for decision; that Mr. Mitchell adm itted this by appearing before the commission simply as a rep resentative of the anthracite mine workers; that the aw ard of the com mission specifically pssv-rted that the recognition of tho United Mine W ork ers of America as at present constitut ed, was inadvisable: that award No. 4. providing for the Board of Conciliation, lays down certain rules for the appoint ment of members of said board, “The rcproecntali.ves of the ornrntors have been a»nointed strictly within the terms of said aw ard, and there is no, objection on their part to cordially ac cepting Messrs. Nichols. Dettry and Faiiey as the representatives of the miners, providing they are elected by a m ajority of the mine workers as snecified in the aw ard of the commis sion. “The objection is solely against their appearing as the official representa tives of the United Miue V7Orkers of America, appointed by an executive committee, w ithout authority for such appointment. “The oiierators’ representatives fee* that it is highly im portant that the for mation of the Board of Conciliation lie a^epted by both interested parties as strictly in accordance w ith the award of the commission, in order that its rulings may be received without ques tion and not be open to the critiei.sm of having been ma te by a board not fully qualified to act.*' Tlie fact that tho operators thus plainly leare the way open for an ami cable meeting w ith the three district presidents if they are elected by ihe mine workers, will not in the slightest measure change the action of the boards. The members consider that the district presidents were legally chosen to represent the nvne workers on the boards and say that no attention will be paid to the operators’ state ment, as it is the same thing they said to the district presidents at the con ference when they refused to officially recognize, them. This attitude they declare, is absurd and ,they will not submit to any change in their plans dictated by such a cause. ,Therefore, in support of their position, they issued a statem ent calling for a convention. Indianapolis. Ind.—.Tohn Mitchell. President of the United Mine W orkers, said; “The refusal to recognize these district presidents as members of the Board of Conciliation w as in direct violation of the provisions made by the recent ,strike commission. The oper ators gave no reason for refusing to recognize these men that had been in dorsed by the Executive Board of the miners, and said only that they did not bear the proper, credentials. I cannot say w hat action will be taken if the recognition ot these three members of the Board of Conciliation is still re fused, .and I do not care to say whether or not*‘tray otlibr solution than a gen eral suspension of work is feasible.” k WHITE WHILES SEEN IN LAKE. Two of Ilicm Go to Cape Breton For Alaricerel* Halifax, N. S.—Two large white Whales, rare specimens in Atlantic Coast waters, are imprisoned in tlie Bras d’Or Lakes, Cape Breton. They are supposed to have entered the lakes in pursuit of mackerel schools, which have been plentiful there this spring: W hales have been, sighted at several points during tlie past few days. One of them ran ashore at Iona and re mained aground two hours. In the meantime several rifle shots were fired into It by a couple of.m en, but ap parently had little effect,, as the whale leisurely moved off to sea on the rising of the tide. W hite whales are said .to be very valuable, and Cape Breton fish ermen are making great efforts to capture one of them and are keeping close w atch along the shores of the lakes. ’ Bnlgarian Prisoners Released.

Powerful Chinese O rugs. “I have always heard that Chinese medicines are very powerful,” said the city salesman, “but I never had any Idea w hat a tremendous effect they were capable of producing on the sys tem till I saw a Doyers street China m an take a pill the other day, and then I realized that one dose of a Ce lestial compound can safely be war ranted to kill or cure. Never In my born days did I see sach a pill. How on earth the fellow ever got it down is a mystery. It was fully as big as a pigeon’s egg, and, so the patient told me afterward, fearfully bitter. “Upon inquiry, I found that that was a fair sample of most Chinese reme dies. No m atter w hat the nature of the medicine, it is generally made up into enormous pills, whose naturally bad taste is modified by nothing but a little licorice. These pills are inclos ed In wax capsules which preserve them from the-air and keep them from being broken to pieces before iheir time. Aside from the pills the only remedies used by orthodox Chinese in New Tork are a remedial oil which- they rub on the temples to cure head ache, and a liquid made by boiling down the leaves, stems, seeds and roots of certain plants in a quantity of drinking water. "According to my Doyers street au thority,” continued the salesman, ac cording to the New York Times, “this fluid medicine is.even worse than the pills, for it has to be cooked till.it is alm ost like a syrup and drunk scald ing hot.” Two of the leading ticket scalpers In New Orleans, David Pike and J.

W ages T irice a s H iftIi as In -England a n a T liree T im e , as B ie li as in H el- SfiDm, th e P ric e H as 3Snoruioiis|y S e . croaaed In tile P ast Tw enty-five T ears. 'A SepubIi^an member of Congress from Minnesota has forwarded to the American Economist a postal card ■which has been circulated all over the State of Minnesota and has been printed In many newspapers. It has also found its way into print outsld. of Minnesota, the Republican of Spring field, Mass., having recently used it as the text of an editorial adverse to protection. The postal card emanates from a Minneapolis business house,' mid is as follows: “If there w as no duty to be paid on imported plate glass, based on ■to day’s market, an ordinary store front Would cost 5100, f.o.b. Minneapolis. The same store front, ivith the tariff added, costs $275. the CO being obliged to pay $175 exti duty, w hich is the ‘protection’ g? to the trust. As plate glass is manu factured entirely by machines, no skilled labor entering therein (and ma chines are operated about as cheap in America as in Europe), it m ust be clear to any one th at the trust is not entitled to such enormous and un reasonable ‘jirotection’ as it has at present at 1lic «xpense of the con sumers of plate Rlass. Yours truly, "FOKMAN, FOED & CO.” This is the customary form of argu ment chosen by the free-traders as a reason for urging.the removal of the protective tariff from all competitive Imports. In the case of plate glass there is a semblance of truth on the surface of the statem ent that if there was no duty to be paid, a store front which now costs ?27o 'would cost ?100' in Minneapolis. Undoubtedly the store front would be cheaper Without a tariff than w ith a tariff—to begin with. B ut how long would it stay cheaper? . T hat is the question. Twenty-five years ago, before a pro tective tariff had helped to establish that industry, we imported all ou» plate glass. It sold then a t an average of ?2.50 per square foot. To-day the average price per square foot Is forty cents. W ith the cost of labor in the United States twice as high as it is In G reat B ritain and three tim es as high as it is in Belgium—the exact figures in. support of this statem ent may be found in the testim ony taken before the Industrial Commission In December, 1000—abolish the protective tariff, and who would make the plate glass consumed in the United States? Answer: It would be made In countries where wages are one-half or one-third w hat they are In the United States. Either that, or the American wage rate would have to be reduced to one-half or one-third w hat is now is. It ls| after all, almost wholly a ques tion of wages. The Minneapolis postal card seeks to convey the im pression that the labor cost In plate glass making is a minor quantity, since the work is done “entirely, by ma chines.” This is a flagrant perversion of the truth. The w age cost in plate glass manufacture is forty-eight per cent, of the total cost of production, as sworn to before the Industrial Com mission. Wt- have said that In the absenoe of a protective tariff the selling price of plate glass in the United States would probably be reduced, to begin with. How long would lower prices remain after all the mills making plate glass in this country were closed up? Be fore w e had any mills the foreigners bharged us five or six times w hat "we now pay for plate glass. Th«y did the same thing w ith tin plate before protection gave us our tin plate mills.- They would do it again if home pro duction w ere crushed out of existence by the removal of the tariff. Ju st now the foreiruers are selling plate glass very cheaply in the United States. All the foreign factories art operating on an agreed plan, where- ainder great discounts lire granted on exports to the United States. For ex ample, w hile the discount on Belgian polished plate glass sent to England is ten per cent, off the list price, on Belgian glass exported to the United States the discount Is forty and five per cent., making a difference In price of fifty-eight per cent In France the local price of polished plate glass is at least 100 per cent, higher than the! price obtained for the same glass when shipped to the United States. They make this country their dumping ground by means of cut prices, and our imports of plate glass in conse quence increased from 36S,797 square feet in 1S98 to 1,500^80 snuartf feet in 1000. Tlie American railroads, strangely in sympathy w ith foreign production, help along the dumping ground and cut price game by charging twenty- five cents per. 100 pounds more on plate! glass shipped from Pittsburg to Minne apolis than on plate glass shipped from AntweiiP In Belgium to Minneapolis— that is, they charge twenty-five cents per 100 pounds more for a haul of 1000 miles than for a haul of 5000 miles. See'testim ony before the Interstate Commerce Comnr.sion, January, 1903. They are charging precisely the same rate on domestic class that they charged w hen the selling price was four or five times higher than It is. This rank robbery and discrimination is an additional reason why domestic plate glass makers need a protective tariff to enable them to compete w ith foreigners. The rate in the DingIey tariff on all sizes of plate glass from twenty-four by thirty inches up Is precisely the rate In the 'Wilson Democratic free- trade tariff in 1S9-1. On. these sizes the existing rate of dnty is two and a half to fifteen cents per square foot lower than .the McKinley tariff rale of 1S00. As to trust monopoly in plate glass production the case is very different from w hat it is generally supposed to be. Three years ago the Pittsburg Plat? Glass Company produced about seventy-two and a half per cent, of our domestic plate glass. Then there were but three “independent” factor ies. To-day that number has Increased to twelve, and the percentage of the Pittsburg Company has been cat down probably less than sixty per cent, the total output. To-day six-sev- ths of the plate glass used in this country Is supplied Dy domestic ianor and industry. To the extent of six- sevenths the Republic is doing its own work in the production of plate glass, and is employing thousands of Ameri can workmen at wages twice as high as the wages paid in England, and I more than three times as high as tlie wages paid in Belgium. And the price of plate glass to-day is about one-sixth Wliat it w as prior to the establishment of the industry in the TTnited States through tin? operation of a protective tariff. If the enormous discounts which Eu ropean makers grant on exports to this country were abolished: if the selling price for export were the same that it is for local consumption in Eu rope, instead of being one-half; and If American railroads were not in a conspiracy to help foreigners capture this m arket by chargiiig considerably less to haul plate glass from AntweiTi to Minneapolis—in short, if there was a fair field and no favor, there would be little ground for complaint as to tlic influence of the tariff on the m arket price of plate glass. As the case stands, there is little ground for com plaint so far as any tariff protected trust is concerned. There Is an abun dance of competition in plate glass production, and in view of the heavy advance that have taken place in wages and the cost of raw materials, current prices of plate glass would not seem to be excessive or unreason able. This country is making its own plate glass, and it will keep on doing it COMING OF THE ST. BERNARD. How the Breed of^Noble Dogs Was Discovered to Americans. Forty years ago the St. Bernard dog was hardly more than a myth to most Americans. In Sunday scfeool litera ture he figured occasionally, to the joy of dog-loving children, hut the real live hero of Alpine fame they 'would not have recognized had they seen Comparatively few of our cOUntty- men visited Europe in thosj days. Our leisure class was iiriiited and a jour* uey abroad m eant as long a stay as possible in the great cities, among the treasures of art. St. Bernards were rare upon the great highways of travel. Their work was on the bleak moun tain passes, protecting poor wayfarers from the fury of the elements, and far jaway from the beaten track of foreign tourists. -Travelers who crossed into Italy by way of Tete Noire pass and saw beau tiful young pups there were sometimes tempted into buying them, but the risks of transportation were great and very few grossed the Atlantic. Prior to the early '70s -most of the Importa- *tions went to New York state and the first fine collection or kennel of them known belonged to CoL Parker of Al bany. Soon after the era of dog shows opened the eyes of the general public to the1 wonderful beauty, extraordinary size and charming .character of this breed, says Country Life In America, and then the St. Bernard bounded into popularity, and as American dol lars ever fly fast after beauty and fashion' many thousands' were ex changed for beautiful specimens of tho “Alpine mastiff.” PITS permanently eurcd.Ro fits or nervous* ness after first day’s use of Dr. KlinefB Great KervcBestorer.$2trial bottle and treatisefree Dr. Tw H.

A ndheuid1Itwas to ‘ taka the pledge and keep it.” Then he sent 50 2-cent stamps to find out how to raise turnips successfully. He found out— “Just take hold of the tops an<) poll.” Being yon Hg he wanted to mar ry, aud sent 34 1-eent stamps to a Chicago firm for information a3 to how to make an impression. When the answer came it read: “Sit down on a pan of dongli.” It was ;.i. link* rough, bujjB^as a patient man, and thougli^Pff: would yet silceeed. The next advertisement he answered read. “How to double your money in six mouths.” He was told to convert his money into bills, and. fold them, aud would see his money doubled. , Next hesent for twelve useful household articles, and he got 12 needles. He was slow to learn, so he sent Si to find out *‘how to get I-IeJi-w tlVTorklike the devil and never spend a cent.” aud that stopped him.

The Times in its last paragraph has something to say aiout “truth.” Now we used tk e language “There are Democrats iu fcWbiskcy business at the pre- Jfflt so we are iuformed.’ We will aoif name our men, J. H- S ring, ofPino, N. L. Hinkle, of Smith Gwve-Tliese men were running list week at the time our article ms written, so we are informed. Aad they are Democrats, so we are ipformed. Xow as to the loug-winde I ar ticle against the Times, we have Iibisto sav: Mostot that article nsdevoted to the record of the Jemocratic party, of which the Dirie Times is a very insigniflcan t jmt in our opinion. The charges ot IbeTinies were uofc backed up by proof and so far as the Record is HBeerned we would not put much reliance iu any assertion made against IIepublieans by the avera- geDemocratic politician. We hoped IhatmeTiiues would be run on a ' a higher plane and iu ageutlenmn-: !yimiimer, but it seems that all coons are alike, and the present ditor is uo exception we are sorry to siy from recent expressions given to the public. We have no desire or inclination to tell any thing hut the truth, aud if we are inisfciiliu making a statement not true, we are more than anxious to oirrect it. Our character for ti utk SiIhouestjr is in a measure made iilthc people of Davie couuty ®<®g whom we have been raised viil be slow to judge us harshly, re think nnd hope, from the small soil slimy insinuations of oneso recently trans-plauted from the EwlShirt section of North aud South Cmoliua to Davie where no Wcli vde and infamous orgauza- tions have ever existed, aud we Mieuevcr will. The Times in its local columns takes two iiiugs at the Record, one ahoUt the reduction of the price of local advertising. Now as to the CalimUeless of onr space we leave that to be passed upon by our Jalroaj. And the other ding about toe wedding announcement, our publication dajr is Wednesday al though we otteu go to press I he ev ening liefire, aud what we said was •he truth even if it were written !ini printed, the day before. Drow- uicg men catch at straws, and the lllItM' of the Times is dealing in llWlltVerySiaill thing j f .r a prete ntious gentleman. In Conclusion we teire to be fair, aud treat every - Jjtly square, aud we hope the tines editor will get ashamed of 'hc display he has made of hira- *11, and not repeat a similar fol- J- W e are able and determined to take care of ourselves againstall comers.

The while man is the dominant race aud ,according to his views of the ethics of right doing, he is moulding sentiment, expanding our civilization and building up this country The ne gro. while contributing his part to the upbuilding of this country whether for its weal or woe, does so largely at the instance of the white man. Whether the white man comes into direct contact with him or not in business or in his religion, he, as a citizen and a man is'very largely what the in fluence of his “ white neighbor” has made him. Audubon, the nat uralist, speaking of the birds and their influence upon our lives, calls them our “feathered neigh bors.'’ The white man by speech, dress anil habit comes much near er the negro. What should be the relation of “our white neighbors”' socially? I do not mean by that that we should be taken iuto their homes, or hotels, aud tieated in the same social manner that they would treat members of their own race, for I do not beleive it could be satisfactoiy to them, and I’m sure it would not be congenial to the most intelligent and reliued among my people. But what I mean is this “our white neighbor,” liecause of his advantages, ought to accord to his neighbor in black every, courtesy, every kindness, every expression ot humanity aud good will as will inspire hope in his bosom, wheitier it is the unfortnn ate Jew on his way to Jerusalem} the untutored ebok who rolls out your biscuits and prepares the pastry; the butler who stabulates your steed; or the minister or school teacher whose specific work is the uplift of their people. By treating the negro kindly as one would “Black Beauty,” he cheers his heart wonderfully and binds him to his “white neighbors” wilh bonds of steel, Aud by doing which the white man adds to his beueficeuce many fold and gives him the consciousness of knowing that he is living for others. VVhat should be the. relation of bur white neighbors” moigdly? They should set the highest ex- SALE AT Salisbury, N. C, Gome to see us and be pleased. n, and iu berfgfife ' h f l R t i S P if - daily obey their every want. This is nothing less than Ghirst did, for the “Spirit of the Lord was upon Him because He had annointed Him to preach the Gospel to the poor,” My experience of many jrcars is that the negro churches almost always gladly receive white ministers and cheerfully accept their teachings. What a field for our “white neighbors.” What can we do for them? What they can do for us? By showing ourselves worthy of the benefits that come to us; by fulfilling faith fully any trust committed to onr care; by being '.courteous in our homes and especialty on the streets; by paj'ing our debts we can help them to feel that after all we are a blessing to this civilization, and iu some degree is helping th man bear his burden. Thl help us by showing that tlJ pieciate the fact that the noblest, life is spent in the best service for humanity and God. Perhaps nei ther of us rightly appreciate our opportunities—opportunities to help, opportunities to make better. ItwasNathan Halewho said1 “ My only regret is I have but one life to give to my country.” 1 That expression in other words has found tongue on other lips, as men, white and black, have been called to face the realities of the great beyond when it comes to them that they did not do what they could for their neighbors. The negro feels kindly toward the white men generally', but especial ly for the white men of the South, whom he has known sinee his ex istence, and he waits for some op portunity to demonstrate his friendship. A large per cent, oi “our white neighbors” are per mitting au opportunity to pass to show to the world that they arc following the lowly Kazareue in spirit and truth. 0.

If the origin of wrong doing iu a neighbor iu black was alwajrs traced out, it might iu some cases go back to a source from, which we least expected -it. Too much cannot be said in con demnation of the evils that .exist among the negro races, especially in cities of poor sanitation and in crowded districts; and yetin these, conditions the morals of the society would be greatly improved if our strong “white meighbois” should put themselves to a little trouble to purify, to change it.

Whatshonld bethe relation of “onr white neighbois” religiously? This is a great (question. Caste, and social conditions have made separate churches necessary. There can be no desire to reverse the condition. But it seems to me that the growing isolation in religious service is making Christians of the same religious denominations more and more estrahged.

K From §ft ft ft MUST SERVE IiIS TERM.NORTH CAROLINA CROPS State Treasurer Lacy says there will he needed this year an increase of the Taluation of property of between $100,- 000,000 and $150,000,000 in order to get out of debt and stay out Of course this will not meet the appropriations for 1903, because the taxes on the assessment made this year will not be. available until 1904. The State Treasurer made an estimate of the cost of operating the State government for the years 1903-04, as being $2,899,000. To this sum the Legislature added $152,000 for the two years. The present assessed value of property is $341,220,200. It appears that the deb eft for the two years 1303-18C4 will be something like $200,000, which the Legislature hoped would be made up by the increased tax derived from the license on distilleries t.nd the increased liquor tax, these, it being calculated, would raise $158,000. Estimates Cf the increase in valuation of property vary very widely, ranging from $50,000,000 to $150,000,000. _Some of the officials seem to, think 875.000,- 000 will be something like the figure, this being little over 20 per cent, in- cixase on the assessment made four years ago. It seems to be the view that most of the increase will be towns, but there will be some in the valuation of country property. State Treasurer-Lacy says that lie has really not the slightest idea, as to what the increase will be. and was never more at sea in his life than as to this matter. Od the 19 th ist. the work of the State tax commission, which is composed of Franklin HeNeil, Samuel L. Rogers and Eugene C. Beddingfield, in conferring with the county commis- sic^irs and tax assessors in all the counties of the State, v/ill be completed. It is felt that these conferences will be productive of good in all ways; that they will bring about a justcr valuation of property and one more equal, since the differences in valuation even in adjoining counties are sometimes great. Some observant people think the increase in the valua tion of property in the State will be as much as 2-0 per cent, as compared with the assessment of 1S99. In some counties there will be a large increase; probably in none more so than In Har nett and Moore, which have made really wonderful progress in. the past four years. Railway building and ether enterprises have a great deal to do with this development, and to this is added in Moore county the remarkable influx of settlers from the North. The latter are said to have added 50 j per cent, to the valuation of the conn- \ ty in the past ten years. . A special from Asheville says: The I tribulations of the Southern Railway \ were multiplied in this mountain sec- j tion Friday in a remarkable manner. No. 9, due here about 3 p. in., is delayed near Melrose by a landslide such as has not been seen in the mountains for years. For several hundred yards stone and dirt cover the track the depth of several feet and it is said that huge boulders loosened by the incessant rains continued to roll down on the track for hours .after the first great Fection of the earth moved glacier-like down the side of the mountain. Some say it will take two days to remove this mountain of earth and stone from the track. After intelligence of this slide reached Asheville passenger train No .10 was started toward the mountain. When No. 10 reached a point about half-way between this city and Hendersonville the rails spread and the engine, baggage and mail cars rolled down an embankment and the second class car left the track. The train was running at least 25 miles an hour and that no lives were lost is a circumstance that is proving a source of wonder to even practical railroad men. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction is gratified by the receipt of a letter from the Superintendent of Camden county, in which the latter says more progress has been made' in the past twelve months in the way cf improvement of school buildings, in creased attendance and better teaching than was made during the five years previous. This statement is the more important because Camden is a small county and has not a larg? school fund. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction will, in a few days, issue the new list of books recommended for use in rural school libraries. State warrants were issued for two libraries in Jackson county and one in Vance. Rev. T. D. Johnson, Presbyterian minister, who has been residing in Morganton and preaching in Burke for several years, has accepted a call from the church at Burgav/, .N. C., and will shortly njove. with his mother and sister to that town. Mrs. Sallie Avery, wife of Judge Avery, has purchased the Walton or Herald building, corner East Union and Green streets, in Morganton, and will remodel the same for a hotel. Additions Will be built and .other improvements made to the building. Dr. Chas. C. Weaver, president of Rutherford College, who has been elected president of Davenport Female College at Lenoir, vice Rev. R.C. Craven resigned, is a son of Dr. J.H. Weaver, presiding elder of the Shelby district, and a man of fine sense and splendid qualifications. The National Guard of the State will be filled by the admission of the company of infantry from Sanford. This will make the three infantry regiments of 12 companies each. The old Albemarle hotel property on the corner of Main and Road streets; Elizabeth City, has been purchased by Kr. E. F. Aydlett. He will expend between $10,000 and $12,000 improving and modernizing the building, which will be made a first-class and modern hotel in every particular; . Messrs. White Williamson and Company are building a new mill at Saxa- ©abaw. It is 100x135 feet, two stories. When completed they will add 100 looms and put up a finishing plant. This will give them 200 looms, about sufficient to weave the product of their spindles.

STATE TEACHERS’ ASSEMBLY. Gathering of Many Educators on the Coast For Pleasure and Im provement—Speeches. Wilmington, Special.—The twen-' tietli annual session cf the North Carolina Teachers* Assembly , con vened Tuesday night at 8; 45 o’clock at the Seashore Hotel, on Wrights- ville Beach. It was an ideal night on the beach, and with a mellow moon light and delightful breezes the, throngs of visitors enjoyed the happy surroundings.Prcc?. Francis P. Venable, L.L. D., president of the North Carolina University, and president of the Assembly, called the teachers to order in the elegant hotel ball-room,‘ which was brilliantly lighted and was thronged with lad7 and. male teachers from various parts o? the State. The Assembly opened with prayer by Rev. II. B. John, presiding elder of the Wilmington district, after which Dr. Venable announced that Mr. George Rountree was down on the program for the welcome address, but had been called away on professional business. In his stead he introduced Prof. Wash ington Catlett, superintendent of public instruction for New Hanover county, who-brieSy..extended, the teachers- a most cordial wekomo on behalf of the people Cf Wilmington. His warm welcome words called forth appreciative applause. Dr.-Venable introduced Prcf. M. C. S. Noble, of the chair of pedagogy of-the University, who made the response on behalf Cf the Assembly. It was a happy effort and the appreciative terms and beautifully phrased speech of the professor created the liveliest applause. President Venable then introduced Prof. J. B. Carlyle, of the chair of Latin, Wake Forest College, who was down for the opening address before the Assembly.Prcf. Carlyle’s - subject was “The Educational; Outlook in North Caro lina,” and though his address consumed only £0 minutes, in its delivery it was admirable in conception, elegant of diction and inspiring in senti ment. He alluded to the great education conference held in the office of Governor Aycock in February, 1892, and remarked that while that conference dealt with the progress of education in North Carolina for the past thirty years and considered matters for the present, the speaker would deal with the subject from the. stand point of the future. With eloquent words the speaker addressed his audience with a view to inspiring additional spirit and zeal as the future hope of the State. He first discussed the obstacles to education, elaborated them first as poverty; second, prejudice, and third, indifference of the masses. After urging patience and zeal in CGmbatting these obstacles, the speaker addressed himself to the agencies in calling forward the educational movement; First, the pulpit; second, the press; third, the politicians; fourth, the business man; finally, the teacher, upon whom the great work for the future must fall. It was an impressive and effective address, and upon its conclusion the speaker was enthusiastically applauded and many pressed forward to thank Dr. Carlyle for his inspiring and timely words in behalf of the movement for enlightenment in North Carolina. One portion of his address which elicited ethusiastic applause was an al lusion to the statue to the immortal Vance on the capitcl square at Raleigh, and the suggestion that alongside of it one should be erected to North Carolina’s great . educational Governor, Chas. B. Aycock. Shoots Himself. Wilmington, Special.—VT. II. Bobbitt, G7 years of age, government entry taker, and a prominent citizens of Marion, McDowell countuy, this State, committed suicide Tuesday morning about 8 o'clock in the lobby of the Orton Hotel, this city, where he bad been a guest since last Friday, with the exception of Saturday and Sunday, which he spent at the beach. He had been drinking to some extent and retired early last night, rising rather early. He came down in his usual manner, addressed a few words to the hotel clerk, tore off part of an excur sion poster and took his seat in the lobby. A few minutes later he arose, walked a short distance down the street, purchased a round of cartridges at a hardware store, and returned to the hotel, taking his seat on a settee near the door. Soon afterwards W. T. Aycock, of Raleigh, a relative of the Governor, also came down and took his seat near Bobbitt, whom he did not know. He v/as surprised* in a few minutes at hearing the report of a pistol close to him and looked around in time to see the-weapon fall from the dying man’s hand. Bobbitt had pressed the revolver to his right temple and sent a 32-ball crashing, through his brain. The ball came out near his left temple and lodged in one of the front doors of the hotel. . Scrawled on the back of the postei which he had taken from the hotel clerk’s desk, was a short note to Dr. T. S. Burbank, of this city, who is treating a brother of the dead man, J. M. Bobbitt, at the James Walker Memorial Hospital here. The note read: “Come to the Orfcon; bring brother with you. Tell him to look in my pockets. He will find everything o. k.” The note was dated June 7th, evidently by mistake for the 9th. The dead ..man’s brother came from the hospital and at once had the remains prepared for-shipment to-Marion, whither they . were Sent tonight. Bobbitt leaves a wife and one son, C.A. Bobbitt, a clerk in the Bank of Marion. He was a man of large physical proporitons, weighing perhaps over 250 pounds; State News Notes. The comment made on the crops: In the State now is that while they are late, they are very clean, and generally look virgorous. It is asserted, that the most fortunate part of the State this year so far as ready money is concerned is that betwen Mt. Olive, in Wayne county, and Wilmington. It is said by a resi dent that the truckers, berry-growcrs, etc.. have more money than ever before. . The State Superintendent of Public Instruction has prepared a special cir cular regarding the election of county superintendents. He regards the selec tion of these as cf the highest importance. Auditor Dixon is sending to. all the banks which come under State jurisdiction blanks for annual reports and lists of stockholders, which must be filed this month. He is also Sending to all corporations blanks on which an nual reports are'to be made, these" including appraisal of capital stock, so required by section 34 of the revenue act; such blanks to be filled and returned by July I. Harvesting of Small Grain in riany Sections. . Rain in generous amounts occurred during the week ending Monday, June Sth, nearly everywhere, so that drought no longer prevails to any serious extent in North Carolina. Precipitation fell chiefly from the 4th to 7th and was heaviest in the western portion, and in some northern counties where: excessive Nrain washed the soil badly (Rutherford and Henderson counties) and caused streams to over flow, but the small damage done is overbalanced by the favorable effect of abundant moisture on growing crops. A general improvement In all crops was reported. The number of rainy days v/as too frequent in the west, interfering with farm work, and In that section crops are becoming a little grassy, >tbough over most of the State they were clean and we., cultivated and in condition to respond to favorable weather. The first of the week v/as quite cool,. the latter part warmer, and on the whole the tempera ture was below normal. Vegetation is now showing evidence of more rapid growth, and crops though very small are more healthy in appearance. Some cotton is not yet up, but gen erally abundant moisture brought most of the seeds tip and stands have improved; as regards size the plants average nearly 30 days late; chop ping is proceeding, actively, and most of the cotton has been, cultivated once; cool weather prevented very rapid growth. Corn is doing well; the plants are small but healthy in ap pearance, and damage by cut and bud worms seems to be limited to stiff bottom lands; cultivation is well ad vanced; there is very little more corn to be planted. The week was especially favorable for transplanting tobacco which progressed rapidly; drought caused early set plants in the east to bud or button quite lew, so that some farmers have cut plants back; the condition of early set tobacco .is not very good. Spring oats havq improved somet/hat since the rains, which came too late for winter wheat and oats; rye is good; harvesting is proceeding between showers. Gardens have improved; cabbages are heading nicely; the shipments of Irish potatoes continue from eastern counties, with fair yields. Meadows are In. better condition. Apples wiell be plentiful, peaches and plums are beginning to ripen, also blackberries and dewberries. Peanuts are doing well, but the entire crop has not yet been planted. A larger number of sweet potato slips was set during the week.Rains reported:—Y/ilmingtoh 0.9$; Wc-Idon 6.22; Goldsboro 1.90;* New- bern 2.0G; Lumberton 1.40; Raleigh 1.19; Greensboro 1.24; Moncure 1.0$; Liberty 1.64; Charlotte 2.80; Morganton 4.25; Mocksville 2.51; Hendersoa- 3.70; Marion 6.84 and Henrietta7.99.

Belgrade, Serviat By Cable.—A mili tary revolution broke out here Wed nesday night. The troops who re volted under the leadership of Maj. Arigikovics surrounded the palace and assassinated King Alexander, Queen Draga, the latter’s sister, the Queen’s brother, Nikodem, Premier Marko- vitch, and- Ministers Petrovitch and Tuuorovics, Gen. Pavlovitch, former Minister Cf War,-and some members of the Royal Guard. Prinee Karageorg- vitch was proclaimed King. A new gov ernment was formed and the following proclamation issued: “To the Servian People: “Wednesday night the King and Queen were- shot. In this grave and fateful movement the friends of the fatherland have combined to form a new government. While-the govern ment makes this announcement to the -people it is assured that the Servian people will gather around it and.lend it their aid to maintain order and security througout the land.“The government hereby makes it known that from today the constitution of April, 1901, comes into force. The meeting of national representatives, dissolved by the proclamation of March 24, is summoned to meet at Belgrade, June 15.- (Signed) “Jovan Avakumovics, Premier; L.

M. Fravitchf the new Min ister of the Interior, was loudly cheered as he drove to the ministry. The new Premier belongs to the Inde pendent Liberal party.. As the morning advanced the ex-, citement in the streets grew steadily. In spite of the pouring rain thousands of people gathered in the vicinity of the palace. Everywhere troops of all arms were posted and field guns were placed in position to deal quickly with any opposition to the newly-formed government’s will. The soldiers dis carded their cockades bearing the late King Alexander’s cipher and substi tuted for it flowers, green twigs and leaves. Bands of young men paraded the streets waving flags and shouting “Long live, KarageorgvitehI” Flags are flying from nearly every house in Belgrade and there is absolutely no display whatever of crape or other sings of mouring. The royal standard has been lowered from over the palace. Reports from places outside Bel grade indicate that the country accepts the disappearance of the Obreno- vitck dynasty without regret.According to the best available information obtainable from the mass of contradictions, the crime was carried cut by members of the Sixth Infantry, under the command of Colonels Misch- nlch and Maehin. The latter is a brother-in-law of Queen Draga and is Minister of Public Works in the new cabinent. The soldiers appear to have fought their way into the palace, shooting down the aide-de-camp on duty, Colonel Naumvies, although according to another version, the King shot Naumvies because he opened the gate to his assailants, thereby creating a suspicion of his connivance. Some of the persons killed were surprised* m their houses, simultaneously with the attack on the palace.The remains of King Alexander will probably be buried at the Convent of Rakova. The other bodies will be in terred in the localI fgflttery. tB f —n TTSins CraTwo Southern Trains Crash.

C., Special—The Su preme Court found no error in the judgment of the Perquimans Superior Court that James E. Wilcox was guilty of murder in the second degree of Nellie Cropsey, of Elizabeth City, and must serve 30 years in the peniten tiary.' The opinion written by Judge Connor, is of great lsngtb. Wilcox was first tried at his home, Elizabeth City, fOr the murder of Nellie Gropscy. The result was conviction Cf murder in the first degree and a death sentence. Then he appealed and was given a new trial, the ground oi; undue influence, etc., by threatening persons. The case was moved to Perquimans county and there he v/as convicted of murder in the second degree and giveu a ,sentence of SO years in the penitentiary. From this sentence he again ap pealed.The Supreme • Court ‘ found no error and so Wilcox must go to the penitentiary. He has said that he wished to be hanged or acquitted. The opinion in his case is unanimous. Judge Connor quotes the opinion in the noted case of Cluverius (the murderer of Lillian Madison) at Richmond and says: “This language, so far as it applies to the facts in this case, appropriately expresses the conclusion at which we have arrived. We think that, measured by the standard prescribed by law, the evidence was properly submitted to the jury and we cannot say the latter has not reached a correct conclusion. We are of the opinion ihat the testi mony is sufficient to bring the minds of an intelligent ad fair-minded jury under the instruction of a learned, just and impartial judge, to the' con clusion that the defendant is guilty.” Dr. Dreher Resigns.

Ho knows English, Fiench and German equally as well as his native language, and has even a reading acquaintance with that very difficult language, Russian. He spends at least three hours every day in his study busy with current literature of every kind. He is said to prefer the monthly reviews to daily journals, but, however this may be, it is quite certain that no monarch alive keeps himself more thoroughly posted in all questions of the day. He has more than once astonished English visitors by his intimate acquaintance with the intricacies of their party politics and so cial questions; in which he is better read than many members of the British Parliament.

ThieYes and Levee Cutters Are to Be Shot Dowa Instantly. TIIE FLOOD GROWS MORE SERIOUS. Besides the Immense Damage to Property, Eleven Lives Have Been Sacrificed to the Waters. St. Louis, Special.—Almost two- thirds o£ the territory of East St. Louis is under from two to 15 feet of water. Between sunset Tuesday night and dawn Wednesday morning. 11 lives were sacrificed to the waters and dam age which no attempted to estimate, has been done to the property. Probably never before in the history of the country has a more valiant fight been made by brave men, with defeat staring them in the face, to pro tect lives and property than has been made by the citizens of East St,' Louis. Wiien the rising Mississippi river be gan to threaten the city last Thursday morning, Mayor Silas Cook ordered men to construct sand bag levees at once. The river rose higher and more men were employed.- Citizens of all classes and advocations worked side by side with the laborers. Since Thurs day morning 5,000 men, under the leadership of Mayor Cook, -without sleep, with little rest and food, snatch ed at intervals, have toiled unceasing ly to strengthen levees, and to do everything possible to save the city. Not a wheel of industry is turning in East it. Louis, Smokless chimneys of manufacturing plants stand lifeless while the flood whirls at the foundations. The vast railway yards are outlined by hundreds of half-submerged cars and here and there stand locomotives only- half visible. Huge grain elevators stand surrounded by veritable seas. To the south, beyond tho railway yards, are thousands of homes, mainly humble cottages, owned by laborers and containing their all, submerged to the eaves.BUSINESS PORTION OP THE CITY IN DANGER. In North East St. Louis the descrip tion may be repeated.The business portion of the city and the -district containing the better residences is still intact, “but for how eng?” is the question. Broadway, running from Eads bridge east to tile city limits, a wide street walled with stone 15 feet high, divides the city in halves. More than ten feet oftwater is pressing against Broadway from the south and in some places is sweeping through in streams as thick as a man’s body. ’ If Broadway shall break, the water will rush over-much of the city until Missouri avenue, running parallel one block north, is encountered. Along the river front to the west a levee of sand bags from- two to six feet high and two miles long keeps the river out.Without warning the river .suddenly Uegan to rise. Thecitywas madesafe along the river front, but suddenly a new danger menaced. Word was received that the Illinois Central embankment skirjting the river along tho southern boundary of the city- threatened to give way. Couriers were sent on horseback and afoot to shout warnings to the inhabitants of the southern half of the city. Car-loads of sand bags were rushed to the place and work was hurriedly begun. Accustomed to warnings, the inhabitants did not leave their homes. Higher and higher rose the water un til. a thin stream began pouring over the embankment and suddenly it broke.THE FIRST: BREAK IN THE EM BANKMENT.Thomas Middleton, a volunteer in charge of a gang of men who were working at the points where the embankment gave way, gave a description-of the break to the Associated Press agent. He said: T ’he break occurred at 11:40 Tuesday night. My gang was hard at work with the others. The water was pouring over the top of the embankment in a sheet even after all our work. Suddenly, with a roar, a wave of water shot through the embankment almost at my feet. I was carried away but soon pulley myself out of the water. One of the laborers -standing by mv side v/as swept awav and I saw him drown. In an instant the water had cut a section of the embankment out and a stream 25 feet wide was rushing through. I saw another section of the embankment go out a few minuten later and then that portion. between the two torrents went down and the river poured through in all its fury. I believe-many men, especially ne groes, were drowned. I know that several negroes, worn out, had been per mitted to nap, and they were lying asleep right in the path of the, flood. They certainly were drowned.” Middleton escaped by runing along the embankment back to the city.The alarm spread like wild fire and whistles were blown, bells rung, shots fired and cries of warning were sounded, but with all this pandemonium, the majority of the aroused inhabitants did ,not leave their homes. WATER RISES RAPIDLY.Within an hour the houses 3tood in water that reached to the roofs of the one-story cottages. It is known that numbers of 'people fled to the Central Hotel, a four-story brick structure, and to the large brick buildings of the Washington and Franklin High Schools. None of these buildings today contained more tha 250 persons and although the rescue boats found many people in second stories and on housetops there are rows upon rows of cottages that early this morning did not show a Sign of life. There is a grave fear that many bodies of dead will be found in the flooded cottages and in this section of the city. It has been practically impossible to learn of authentic deaths, but from the most reliable sources it is believed mat 1J. persons, were-drowned last night, four Cf whom perished on the North Side early, in the evening as follows: The dead: John. Koolish and three chil dren, drowned on the North Side; unknown baby; E. H. Sherwood, Lawrence Day, two unknown women, one unknown man, one unknown colored laborer. It was currently reported today that seven negroes, caught in the act of looting houses last night were shot to death. While this is not con firmed it is .known that there, was firing on the North Side early last night, where these negroes are said to have been caught. The death of John Koolish, a Polish carpenter, and his three children, two boys; aged 5 and 7,. respectively, and a girl of 12 years, were caused by trying to save three'kegs, of-beer. The bodies were, recovered. • LIVE ITEMS OF NEWS Down in B xls Two young men wore i-:„ another wounded from anil - -. and known persons In Laurel co.'n“ y UI>- tucky. luUky1 Iien. .It is said that North c-<-nc last got rid of all the ““a at and other gambling do'-q-.-- rCa‘nc-s State. o the Tho regular term of the Ck,,,-, ' b.egan at Jackson, Ky. and r>, -""tassassins of J.

Address l«e by bnrn Co*. Buffalo, N. Y. For |k druggists, price 50 cents per they were Giijoying cigars after lun cheon as follows: wThe war was nearly over, and one cold, disagreeable night I was on outpost duty as a picket when all at once the question flashed upon me, ‘What was I fighting and enduring the hardships of camp life for, any way?’ The answer came back as usual ‘Fighting for my niggers.’ I solilo quized, ‘I have not got nor never had a nigger.’ I was in the same fix as the balance of my company—no worse or no better off. Vfe were all fighting for something which we did not hare. The war from .that day lost interest to me, but I served my time out and was hon orably discharged.” Continuing in the same reminiscent mood, he .said: “I was for Cleveland and reform up to 1S93, when the object lesson was as plain to me us had been the reason why I had been m the Confederate Army. In that year I was walking on my up pers, and It was with the utmost diffi culty that I procured enough to supply my family with the necessaries of life, I was, or thought I was. for free trade, but by the actual working of the Wil- son-Gonnan hill I saw the industries of the country paralyzed, and skilled, as well as 'all other kinds of labor, idle and most of the mechanics as hard up as I Wa1B- There was a -cause for this general depression, -of course, and I concluded it was tor rarach Democratic free trade. I am not versed on the in tricacies *of the tariff, but a blind man can see the difference between ’93 and now, and cannot but know, if he will think, that under free trade working men always have hard times, and un der protection prosperity. I now have more work than I *can do. at good prices, and in the future expect to vote to benefit myself and family by acting with the party which has wrought the wonderful change In less than ten short years. I am not a politician, further than tn the future to lay aside preju dice, war issues and what I used to be, and vote not as I shot, but with the party or policy- which puts money in my pocket as a recompense for labor, .and atVthe same time makes labor in demand throughout the entire country. America for Americans before foreign -countries is a pretty good motto.”— Bates -(Mo.) IEiecord. ocrats do not propose to fight openly foi* free trade for free trade’s sake this time. They propose to be candid enough to acknowledge that protection has really done something for the prosperity of the country, but they will claim that its work has been ac complished. and that the removal of protective duties is now necessary to enable the people to escape LJom the despotism of the trusts. That seemsr to be the programme outlined by Ed ward Al. Shepard in his address to tho Iroquois Club of Chicago, and echoed by the newspaper exponents of the Cleveland cult throughout the coun try. It’s a very pretty programme, but it will not work, and even U1 it should be accepted and ratified by the Demo cratic national convention next year . it would be abandoned before the cam- I paign was a month old. The people have’ not forgotten what the partial realization of free trade did for them in the four years that followed the 'second election of Grover Cleveland, and even if their memory should prove to -be slightly defective on this point, the Bepublican party would take good •care that they should not forget. !Should there be a great financial dis aster, a relapse into Hbe industrial con dition that prevailed during the four .years preceding the first election of William McKinley to tho Presidency, •there might be some danger of the •election of a Democratic candidate, •even on a free-trade platform, hut of -such disaster there is, fortunately, na "danger. The prosperity of the country is based on the ^olid rock of a sound economic policy, and it will stand. The American people are not so weary of prosperity as *to long for poverty, and it will not be next year or for many years, that a free-trade candi date will be elected President of these United States.—Brooklyn Times. Washington, Special.—James M.Watson, Jr., a clerk in the office of the auditor for the District of Columbia and the son-in-law of a wealthy re tired railroad director, was arrested Tuesday on a charge of. embezzlement of government funds. The amount is estimated at from $60,000 to $75,000/ The warrant makes the specific charge of embezzlement of $8,000, > which rep resents only a portion of the alleged speculations. Watson was not bonded and in case he or his relatives, several of whom are said to be wealthy, fail to make good the alleged losses, Au ditor J. \T. Petty will be held responsible for the amount. The auditor’s bond is for $20,000. The money alleged to have been cm- Irezslefl was part of tho funds deposited in the office of the auditor by prop- erty-owners, who are willing to pay half or all cost3 of improvements to streets abutting on their property, such as paving sidewalks, alleys and streets. This embraces deposits by railroad companies, electric light companies, telephone companies, for side walks, for sewers and water mains, mid is entirely separate from the other accounts. This account is not subject to review by the Treasury Department, but it is checked by the clerk in charge of the corresponding account in the District engineer’s department, and he reported it correct as late as February, 1902. The depositors, it is said, have the right to recover from the District through suit Tho auditor’s office is under the supervision of the board of commissioners of the District of Columbia. Auditor Petty has • complete charge of the assessment and permit "■fund, depositing the money in a bank to his own credit. Mr. Watson, it is alleged, has been entrusted with making the deposits and has returned the pass book in apparently proper condition in each instance. He has been an employe of the District for four years, and the alleged defalcations are sup posed to have occurred throughout most of this period.Auditor Petty said that itbe accounts had been manipulated’in 'such a clever manner that he was not -curtain of the exact situation until today. Watson was a joint publisher of a news bulletin, issued in this city. In addition to running the paper, he owned a barber shop, which he has been trying to sell recently, is promoter of a patent medicine concern and.the treasurer of what Is known as the District .Co-Operative Association, which takes in money from employes on deposit and lends *t out again. Many of the office-holders at the District buTlcfias are depositors in the? association, turning the money over entirely to Wutson and getting his personal receipt in books resembling bank books.’Several months 1Sfgo Major Sylvester the 'Chief of polite here, investigated Watson’s record nnd it is stated he found that Watson was sent to the reform .school while In his minority on a charge of forgery.

They are dumped from the railroad' cars into ponds of water and held until the mill is ready to cut them into lumber. Mr. Royce showed me through this great establishment, with its devices for handling the enormous logs of fir and cedar, hemlock and spruce, which come to it daily. Nearly every step in the long pro cess is performed by some human-like machine. Logs weighing many tons are handled like jackstraws, pulled out of the water, whirled over, lifted about, gripped, slabbed off, turned again easily, and, directed by the swift and sure judgment of the expert sawyer, driven through hand-saws or great gang saws, cutting twenty beards or more at once, and finally trimmed to certain lengths—everything moving at once, smoothly, with absolute .exact itude. In fifteen minutes from the time the log enters the mill it has been reduced to lumber of several grades; the' poor parts have been whittled up into lath and shingles, the slabs have been shot out on a- great pile for fire wood, and the remaining bark, saw dust and refuse have been carried away to the fire heap. This mill cuts 100,000,000 feet of lumber and 90,000,- 000,000 shingles a year, and its product goes the world over—to Australia, Ha waii, China, South Africa, South America and Europe.—From Ray Stannard Baker’s “The Conquest of the Forest” in the Century.

Kot Terj Srond <3round. It is probably a demonstrable fact that any treaty of reciprocity that •could be negotiated would injure some JBdnstries itbe United States. Tbe •question is iwlietber ire would derive •compensating benefits to ;an extent sufficient to OTiarrant the sacrifice. On this question radical differences of opinion are bound to exist, '£.v.en among protectionists. The preponderance of opinion in the Senate (and no doubt throughout the .eoiuitry) is clearly against the ratification of these treat ies. The Cuban treaty appears to be the only one which has any real fight ing chance for ratification, ansi the fate of that, as we have said, is doubtful. It will be ratified, if at all, chiefly be cause it is the personal desire of the President to bare It ratified. This, it must be confessed. 5s not very broad ground for action on an important question of public policy.—Los Angeles Times. An Olrt Democratic Idea. Some of the papers foolishly fond of certain great, men in Iowa, are now trying to make things appear innoeent enough by pretending that the Iowa idea simply stands for a change in a few schedules. ' That is not true. The Iowa idea stands for the imputation that the tariff shelters the trusts and monopolies, which is the Democratic contention. Tariff and trusts are the two things associated in the Iowa idea plank in the platform. Nothing else entered into that idea. Let us keep it there. When we speak of the Iowa ( years !-Seattle Post-Intelligencer.idea we do not mean changing a few Protection In Manitoba. After Mr. Greeuway’s low tariff •speech in the debate on the speech from the throne in the Legislature, the Pre mier, Hon. K, P. RohUnl made a strong protectionist speech, .saying he was glad of the opportunity to repeat what he formerly said. He denied that he had made the statement In Montreal that the people -Qf Manitoba were will ing to pay a little more in duties, but he did say they were in favor of the national policy. He reiterated that ho befieved in protection, and if the United States had built up a great Nation by tbeir .tariff, we could not pay them a higher compliment than by copying it.—Toronto Neats. Superior i» Facts* 'That facts are directly contrary to theories does not affeet the Democratic free traders. The showing that when a Democratic tariff was in effect our foreign trade declined, as rapidly as did our domestic trade, and that under the present protective tariff the export trade of tho country has expanded to undreamed of figures, counts for nothing. Parrot-like, they repeat the stale cry. “Reduce the tariff duties and trade will expand.” Is not one experiment in that direction a sufficient lesson for a tariff schedules, for that is. a plain Republican idea that has often been put into practice. The Iowa idea is that the tariff shelters trusts. It is something new in-Republicanism, but it is an old Democratic idea, as old as Cleveland--Cedar Rapids Republi can. _______________ A BiK Graft. “He is going to try to ingraft the ‘Iowa idea’ on the national Republican platform,"says Mr. Bryan, speaking of Governor Cummins at Des Moines.

The secret is very simple—a midday nap. No mat ter how urgent the appointment, I sleep for two hours every afternoon except on matinee days; Not merely lie down for a nap, but undress, go to bed, and sleep. When on the road, if we reach a hotel in a one-night town too. late for their noon dinner, I go straight to bed, and come down as fresh as a daisy, for a good sup per and the evening performance.

Special.—News reached here late Monday evening of an accident at Broafi river bridge, on the Seaboard Air line Railroad, by which three lives are said to have been lost. During the fiood of Saturday 700 yards of trestle was washed away from the southern approach to the bridge, near Carlisle, Union county. Monday afternoon the railroad people sent a pile driver to begin the work of .repairing the trestle. The approach from the nerth side seemed to be intact. The driver had to be brought across to begin work of driving the piles on this sifie. When the engine and driver had reached the middle of the bridge it sieve way and the Tsridge1 engine, driver and crew of tea were precipitated into the river. It Is hard to learn at this time the actual number killed, as the railroad people do not seem to care to talk, but It Ss said they report the loss of three lives.

In a letter Darwin wrote.: “At a bouse where we have been staying there were Sir A. and Lafiy Hobhouse, not long ago returned from India, and she and is kept a young monkey and told me some curious particulars. One was that Iuer monkey was very fond of looking through her eyeglasses at ob jects and moved the glass nearer and farther so as to vary the focns. This struck me, as Frank’s son, nearly 2 years old—and we think much of his intellect—is very fond of looking through my pocket lens and I have quite in vain endeavored to teach him not to put the glass down on the object, but he always will do so. There fore I conclude that a child under 2 years is inferior in intellect to a mon key.” REPEATING RIFLES No matter what your preferences are about a rifle,. some oste of the eight different Winchester models will suit you.

Caso of the Negro Preacher Wlio Mispclled “Divided” Attorney General K. D, Gilmer went to Charlotte last evening where he will today defend John W. Simpson, the Democratic reg istrar from Butherford county, who refused a negro preacher reg istration in the 1092 election be cause he mispelled •‘divided.” The Legislature of 1901 provided that North Carolina should defend state election officers when indict ed in the federal court and the attorney general is acting under this law. Mr. Simpson’s defence in the federal court will be that he ap plied the educational test without discrimination to all applicants I for registration. He states that Will Carpenter, colored, applied for registration and was refused because he could not read intelli gently. Simpson says he was be sought then to register Carpenter any way because he voted the Democratic ticket, but he declined to show partiality. Mr. Simpson declares that when Bev. Black, colored, applied for registration he gave him a section of the state constitution to copy and he spelled “divided” as “de- vided.” It i3 said, too, that there were other errors so that Mr. Sim pson only applied the rule in re fusing him registration.—Ealeigh Post. This shows what is going with some of the peoples money. The attorney general of the state who was elected to prosec ute crime against the people and state, is today at the expense of the tax payers, defending men indicted for violating the laws. There is just as much right and justice in a solicitor defending a chicken thief us the at torney general defending these officers of the state who were appointed to do their honest duty. Mr. Simmons wrote this registrar that no such construction of the amendment was contemplated and yet he high-handedly went ahead in defiance of the law and comm on sense, and if he and others are not punished, after 19CS the same stringent and illegal construction will be brought into use when white men present themselves for registration. Whenever it is done few of the poor white boys of the state will be allowed to register and vote. There are hundreds of good citizens and upright w hiti men in this state who cannot spell many of the simplest words, and when it comes to writing sections of the constitution read to them by I partisan registrars—the white boys j after 1908 will go down with the | negro. i WANT COLUMN R EAL,, E StatF-T ow n Property, Farms, Mineraland Timber-land, bought, sold or exchanged.

According to a Baltimore corre spondent thousands of dollars were spent in the buying of votes in the recent primary election in Queen Anne’s county, Md. The contest was between the Democratic organ- Ziitiou and the anti orgau Jation forces. The votes began selliug at •>40 and $50 and the price finally went up to $75 and $100. Each sideseemed to have plenty of mon ey, and it was used without stint. As between ballot box stuffing and wholesale bribery, we believe that the latter is more demoraliz- 111S- Itis meaner and more con temptible to 10b the ballot box. to steal that which ought to be pre- cions to every man, to rob a man of the vote which the law permits him to cast, but in this case com paratively few men are morally affected. Voters are swindled, but they are not injured in their characters by the cheat. They may not even know that they have been robbed. But In the case of bribery every voter bought is nude to sell his manhood and forever thereaf ter co hold himself in contempt. There is no surer way of debauch ing the voters and demoralizing the sufferage than bribery in an election. Nor is that all, although it is bad enough. When money.is used to carry an election, all questions of merit in measures and fitness in candidates are thrown to the winds. The party with the longest purse will carry the day. If that is the way our elections are to be carried it will not be long before we indeed have a “pluto cracy” Whenever voters may be purchased for so much a head, then all that the wealthy inea of the country have to do is to or ganize aud put up the money and purchase and own the government. But while this sort of thing may go on in Maryland we are thank ful to say that here iu Virginia if 1 money is used it will - be used in | defiance of law, aud if any candi date or any other mau attempts to buy votes or in any way to influ ence, the result by the use of mon ey, he will be held to a strict ac count and punished according to law.—Times Dispatch Dem. This shows what is taking place in Maryland, aud what one may ex pect where by partisan legislation the opposition party is attempted to be legislateil out of existance. This disgraceful state of affairs iu Maryland shows what the Demo crats are doing to defeat each oth er, they Iin ve practiced fraud so long ou Eepublicai s that they are resorting to bribery aud vote buy ing among themselves. It’s a dis graceful condition and is one of the greatest menaces to a free government. This reminds us of the fate of a bill introduced in the IastLegislatnreby .Tohu Dobson, a Republican, from Surry county making bribery and vote buying a felony. This bill was intended to aid honest elections, yet a Dem ocratic legislature defeated the bill. No wonder lawlessness is on Die increase. No wonder the peo ple are losing confidence in the in tegrity of our courts, for the par tisan legislator is the one ofteuest promoted to the bench, and made the prosecuting officers iu our courts, The harvest! the harvest! The Philadelphia Ledger thus emphasizes one of the present and greatest perils of our government: “Modern civilization has invent ed many crimes, but it has develo ped none more inimical to Ameri can institutions than the traffic in naturalization, the extent of which has just been disclosed. Citizen ship of the U nited States is a high prize to be striven for with pains and won by demonstrated desert. To make it an article of barter, for political or mercernary gain, is as base an act as can w.ell be concei ved . The tide of immigration now pouring in in unprecedented vol ume is at the best a problem of grave dimensions; when large nu mbers of immigrants totally unfit for citizenship come already pro vided with naturalization papers, or can procure them ready-made immediately upon arrival, it is most disastardly complicated The Post has from time to time called attention to this growing evil which becomes more accentu ated as the years go by. The re cent disclosure oi the wholesale naturalization of aliens just landed in Ehode Island where the princi pal in such crime admitted the emoluments therefrom to be large should arouse the country to the dauger. But it attached the horde oi igcoraut foreigners to our vot ing privileges nnder existiug law none the less. So many Northern Congressmen of both parties rep resent constituencies more or less composed of foreigners that they will not move in or support a measure looking to a proper restr iction of immigration or of the naturalization of unfit persons, But the whirlwind will coins after a while.—Jtaleigh Post.

Justice Overtakes Them. - Justice has followed with lead en heel the murderes of Governor Goebel, of Kentucky, but ,it ,is overtaking them, one by one. Po wers has been duly punished. Youtsey is in the penitentiary, and Howard was last week convi cted and sentenced. The pnblict will never feel, however, that the ends of the law have been met un til punishment- is visited upon William Taylor, who was the Governor of the State at the time of the assassination and who is be lieved to have been the chief con spirator. His flight to Indiana, where has been since the law got upou his trail and where he has been protected by Governor Dur bin, who has refused to honor re quisitions for-bim—these are con fessions of his guilt and proof that the Governor of Iudiaua beleives iu it, There have been in the an nals of history few more brutal crimes than this assassination of Goebel, and the majesty of the law will not have been vindicated un til all concerned in it shall have been made to smart for the bloody deed,—Charlotte Observer. While every Iawr abiding citizen of this great country of ours de plores lawlessness at all times and in all places, but we must not con clude that the parties convicted of the assassination of Governor Goebel are as'guilty as the Obser ver would suppose. In the first place Gov. Goebel was the author of an infamous election law and force and fraud of the rankest- kind had been resorted to by his crowd, to put him in office, and the Legislature was a tool in bis hands by which Taylor the legally elected Governor was ousted, and Mr,. Goebel’s assassination was the fruit of his own sowing.

The town of Reidsville was thrown into considerable excitement' Monday when it was announced that a Tram- her of the operatives of the Pacolet mills, in South Carolina, had been brought there and: that: they had smallpox. A rigid and thorough examination was promptly made, by the authorities and as a result 42 of the partles were put in, the pest house. The operatives'from'the South Carolina cotton mills which were destroyed by the heavy.rains of a week ago went to ReldsviHe' ‘ Sunday. y: Therej were about ' sixty-five 'of :them; sent there by Mr. J. W. Manley, superintendent of the Edna Cotton Mills, of Reidsville, who was at the scene .of the wrecked mills,* and who furnished transportation for them. There we re a hundred and twenty-five more of them , ready to start when the secretary and treasurer of the Edna Mills, Mr. J. B. Pipin, notified them not to* come. The most horrible tragedy that has ever been enacted in the memory of the oldest inhabitants of Ashe county took place* Sunday, at the foot dfc the Alleghany mountain range just .inside of that county. Crick Davis^with an axe, cut to pieces two men and his own wife, Alfred Barker and son, Levi, from Virginia, had stopped.'Oyerv night with Davis, who had insisted* upon their staying, and while they were asleep Davis attacked them, cutting them to pieces.with an axe..Mrs. Davis atfemgtScL to- prevent the-dee'd ands was herself struck several times with the axe, and the attending physician said she .would-die. Davis was probably insane. He is in jail. Clarence gfrnith, sob. of Capt. T.* T. Smith, of Charlotte, was-held up in that city by three footpads Tuesday night and was given an exciting experience for a short time. He had just escorted a young lady home and on his return up South Tryori, at the mouth of a dark alley, he encountered this harrowing episode. A sack was thrown over the young man's head, and his captors began dragging him rinto the alley. His cries for help were loud enough, despite the cloth, to frighten them off before they could steal any thing from him. The men could not be found by the pplice.

Gastonia, Special.—E. E. Caldwell, a voung merchant who had been arrest ed for retailing whiskey, late Wednes day night, committed suicide in rear of his store near the Loray Mills. Usually very little attention is giv en by the public to the indictments and trials before magistrates of ‘those ac cused by violating the whiskey laws. This was the case, when it was casu ally mentioned on the streets of the city that young Caldwell, who has been running for about a year a grocery store, near *the Loray Mills, had been Indicted for this offense, tried before a..magistrate and bound over to .court under a $200 bbnd. Every one', was Hlius unprepared for the startling se quel, when it became know that some time during. the night Qaldwell had committed suicide* in; the rear part of his store. It is supposed that the' deed was com mitted about midnight, as different parties living near the place remember having heard the report of a gun about that time.It seems that Tuesday afternoon, Caldwell requested a friend to buy for him a certain amount of strychnine, but the request was refused, with the suggestion that he mount his horse and leave the country, if he wished to get:;away from his troubles. At night hd tbld -bis wife that he-was going, to > his father’s, to talk the: matter over with him, and this accounts for the fact that his* body was not found until morning. It seems that he secured a shot-gun and placing it to that part Cf. his body just over the heart, pushed the trigger with a broom handle, instant Ceath resulting. Before doing this, however, he wrote a short letter to his wife, declaring his love for her and the .children, and stating that it was all right with Iiim and his God.Caldwell has been here for about two years, for a .time at the Dixie Farm, tfceri at the Morrow Roller Mill. By his conduct he had won the confidence of all who knew him! Some months ago he went into the mercantile business, in which he has not been successful, and then came the other troubles already referred to. In his letter to his wife, he stated .that he could not stand the .lies that had been, and would be told about him. He was only about 23 years of age, and leaves a wife, and four, young children. The remains were . carried to Guthcri esville, S. C., where he formerly lived. Trial to Proceed. Wilson,.

In giving out this decision he said In part while there had not been, sufficient evidence brought out in the evidence of affidavit to show the existence of a state, of -public sentiment as claimed by the defendants, yet there had been some sentiment stirred up by the city papers and by the discussion of the case on the streets, and if at any lime during the. trial of this case it eame to the knowledge of the court that there was any outside influence bearing on the trial it would be. continued until the .September term.. / /' Daughter’s D^ath IOIJed Her. Wilmington, Special.—A peculiarly sad death occurred at Point Caswell, neat* Wilmington Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Ludwig Vollers, wife of a leading German citizen in that section, upon learning of -the death of her daughter, Mrs. George Haar, of Wilmington, the morning previous, suffered a collapse and died within two hours. She leaves a large family of sons and daughters, as well as her aged husband, for whom thp community feel the deepest sympathy. The funeral of the daughter who died in Wilmington was held here and members of the family and friends left immediately for Point Cas- well to attend the funeral of the mother there Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock. A BLOODY CRIME IN ASHE: Two Hsti and a Woman Chopped to Pieces With an Axe. Jefferson, Special.—The most hor rible tragedy that has ever been en acted in the memory of the oldest inhabitants of the county took place Sunday, at the foot of the Alleghany mountain range, just inside of this, county. Crick* Davis, with an axe, cut to pieces two men and his own wife. The story of the crime runs thus: Davis, who lived at the foot of the mountain, was visited by two former friends and acquaintances, Alfred Barker and son, Levi, who lived near Chllhowie, Va. They had stopped at his house on their way to see their relatives in this section. Davis seem ed; very, clever and insisted on the|i* spending the night witii him. They consented and when bedtimes came every one in ,the house retired. The. two visitors occupied the same bed. Davis and his wife occupied another bed close by, possibly in the same room. Hardly had they retired when Mrs. Davis heard a noi3e, and on looking toward where the Barkers were sleeping, saw her. husband with the axe, cutting the Barkers to pieces. She sprang out of the bed and tried to keep1 her ^husband, from killing the old man, Alfred, ahd immediately Davi3 gave her two blows that sent her: to the floor. LeyI had , been killed by the first, blow. that, had split his; head half open as clean as one splits a hog’s head in slaughtering. Alfred had been saved apparently by Mrs. Davis, as he had time to crawl out of the bed and into a field of rye,' close by. Nevertheless, he. wa's bleeding like a hog and will die, having received the axe up to the hilt in hisstomach and having his right arm cut off. Alfred says that as he lay in the field he heard the \ awful blows that followed on the -b'ody .of Mrs. Davis, and heard her groans grow fainter and fainter:. But the woman was not yet killed, ad after the excitement had subsided Davis took his wife in the house, washed her wounds and washed himself. Davis’ little girl, with the baby in her arms, was the one who gave the alarm, she escaping for her life at the outset.When people came in they found Davis sitting by his wife administering to her wants, but the woman seemed to be in such agony she paid little attention to wliat was going on. Davis said: “I guess I have killed them, but I didn’t know it.” A surgeon summoned from Mountain City, Ten., gave it out that all would cer- taily die and the rumor is current on the streets that the woman is dead.Parties just from the scene of the tragedy say that there is blood everywhere, that ten beaves would not have left as much blood scattered around, a slaughter pen. No motive can be found for the hellish deed, though many theories have been ad vanced. One is that Davis was insane, that he had' been out of his head only six'months before. Another is that Levi Barker was once a sweetheart of his wife and that this'visit stirred up jealousy. It is said that it is true the man has been wrong with 'his mind several times, but that he was really a very mean man ahd had once before tried to kill a man with an axe. The theory of jealousy is not believed owing to the fact that Mrs. Davis was a woman of fine Christian character and had never given the slightest attention to Barker since her •marriage.Davis is in jail here, having been bound over to court.

There, was no eye witness to the accident, but from a statement made immediately after the occurrence, it seems that he was walking the main line, going from the depot to the yard to work, and seeing pas senger train No. SI coming, he stepped off on to the side-track, and the switch engine running parallel with No. 31, and which he had not observed, struck him. His right leg and shoulder were badly mutilated. Call For Temperance Convention.

Nor have I re motely entertained the thought since I left Washington more than six years ago. The matter is as far from my thoughts as it was In 1896 when all must admit that it was not within my hearing or sight. I have no higher aspirations than to pass my days in peace with my family around me and to take no part in politics which any private citizen cannot take, with utmost propriety:” “I have never spoken to anybody on the subject of a fourth candidacy. I have, never written a single political friend one way or the other nor have I before been written to or spoken to by them. There is not a political leader of any prominence endeavoring to ad vance any movement to nominate me ip any State, so far as I have been ad vised, nor do I anticipate that any such effort will be made by any leader, prominent: or bbscuie, in any locality in the country. “I have on several occasions within the- year undertaken to perform the labor which usually falls to the private in the rear ranks but there has not lurked within me the hope of any re ward, save the consciousness of having made an effort to. assist in bringing about salutary conditions in the par ty.” Shipping Cotton to NeV Orleans.

Ky., Special.—The jury in the case of Jett and White, charged with the murder of Lawyer James K*. Marcum, was discharged, having been unable to agree. At 8 o’clock the jury filed into the court room and Foreman Richard Millard said: / “Your Honor,-we find no chance of coming to ah agreement.” Judge Redwine said: “I will keep you, gentlemen until Saturday night, unless you get a ver dict sooner. There is no reason why a verdict should not be reached in tbi3 case.” Foreman Millard said: “One man has as much right to his opinion as another, and may stick to it.” It is believed from this that there was only one man between a verdict and it is conceded that only one juror then was for conviction. It is said the question of punishment had not been considered. Lhter the jury again reported that it was unable to. agree, and shortly after 9 o’clock it was discharged, so there will be another trial. The dominant faction evidently ex pected acquittal. There was at least one juror who held out against this. The scene after the announcement was in no wise exciting. Some who started to clap their hands were stop ped by the court. The guards took im mediate possession of the prisoners and they were closely guarded back to jail. People gathered around the court house discussing the case, but there was no disturbance or outward sign of trouble. Attorney Byrd, after consultation, made a motion for a change of venue. Judge Redwine refused to hear arguments but of his own accord changed the venue to Cynthiana, Harrison county, at the next term of court. Cynthiana is not in Judge Redwine's district. He surprised the spectators by at onoe ordering the prisoners sent to Lexington under a detachment of soldiers accompanied by Elisor Jones. Trains Crash. .

These papers constitute by far the most significant documents yet made public as a result of the sweeping postal investigation. The re ports show the existence of many ir- iegularities during the period involved. The inspector who investigated ihe irregularities reports that the files of the postoffice cashier show direct orders from superior authority for the disbursement of all the questionable items cited. The inspector urged “that the responsibility for the many illegal appointments, the payment of two salaries to one and the same person and the disbursement of the thousands of dollars for which practically no service was performed, should be placed where it properly belongs and the many abuses corrected.”In a summary of the several reports the Postmaster General says: “Thecharge of Mr. Tulloch is in its essence against President McKinley and. Post master General Smith. President McKinley is no longer living; Postmaster General Smith, who carried out President McKinley’s policy, has answered for himself. With regard to the present management of the Washington postoffice and the conduct of any and all men charged with wrong-doing who have been in tha postal service under the present administration, a thorough and searching investigation is now being made.”The Postmaster General also' says: “It will be seen that the whole subject was taken up by Postmaster General Smith and investigated by him. All expenditures referred to were allowed by the Auditor and Comptroller, with the exception of $100.” Iletcslf Dismissed. Washington, Special.—As a result of alleged indiscretion in matters per taining to the award of contracts for printing the money order forms of the government, James T. Metcalf, for many years superintendent of the money order system of the Postoflice Department, was on Wednesday removed from office by the Postmaster General. A full investigation of the case will be made later. The dismissal is the result of acts of Mr. Metcalf in opposition to the bid of Paul Herman, of Rutherford, N. J., the lowest. bidder by $45,000 and in favor of the next highest bidder, the Kynkop- Hallenbeek-Crawford Company, of New York, of which Mr. Metcalf's son is an employe. The story is briefly told in the letter of dismissal signed by Postmaster General Payne. Navy Appointments. Washington, Special.—After a con ference with the President, Secretary Moody announced the following a p. pointments to the navy, all of the appointees being from New York: Capt. Chas. E. Rice to be chief of bureau of steam engineering upon the retirement of George W. Melville in August next, Pay Director Henry T. Harris to be paymaster general upon retire ment of Rear- Admiral A. S.

He is now in command of the marine barracks at Norfolk. Jews Attack an Editor. St. Petersburg, By Cable.—Kroushe- van, the notorious Jew hater and-the editor of the Anti-Semite organ in Kischineff, the Bassarabetz, the ar ticles in which are believed to have been largely responsible for the mas sacre of the Jews in Kischieff, was attacked by a party of Jews in the street here. He was stabbed in the neck by one of the Jews. The wound is not believed to be fatal. His as sailant was captured and proved to be a former student of the polytechnic school at Kieff.

Just .before he was taken back to his cell he said: “Well, I. have got as much nerve with me as Miller had.” /Evidence Secured. It fa now said that District Attorney Jerome, of New - York, in person, secured the first evidence against Eichard Canfield-’s splendid/gambling house in East 44th street.

The Democrats are preparing to make exactly the same kind of a fight they made in 1892, on exactly the same issues. They say there can be no compromise on the tariff question.The question then arises. Can the Republicans go into the campaign with any prospect of success if they concede that a large part of the Democratic contention is correct? Are campaigns fought and won on half-breed creeds? To show the position in which the two parties would find themselves In case Governor Cummins’ idea is adopt ed, we quote from Mr. Chas. S. Ham lin, of Boston, who was Assistant Sec retary of the Treasury under President Cleveland. Mr. Hamlin spoke at the Samuel J. Tilden banquet recently held in New York. He gave an outline of what he called “the great questions of the coming Presidential contest.” He said the first attack should be upon tile foreign policies of the administration; the second upon the treatment of trusts and monopolies; third, tariff reform; fourth, economy in Government admin istration. Then Mr. Hamlin took up the third plank in his political creed and gave his entire attention to “tariff reform for the purpose of inviting for eign competition to take the place of that of domestic competition,” which, he said, is being destroyed. We quote Mr. Hamlin’s Words upon the subject of the tariff, as follows:“I believe the first step should be radically to review our system of tariff taxation to the end that foreign com petition may come In to take the place of that domestic competition which is being destroyed. Then by examining the effect of foreign competition we shall soon find what additional legisla tion is needed to control monopolies. Meanwhile the Federal Government should enforce existing law and pro vide new legislation to secure informa tion as to what the combinations are doing.”If the above is to be the Democratic creed, in what respect does it differ from “Iowa progressive Republican ism?”Some of our Iowa Republicans say that domestic competition has been de stroyed, and that foreign competition must come in to take the place of do mestic competition, and that is exactly what Mr. Hamlin says. How are the “progressive Republi cans” of Iowa to make a campaign against Mr. Hamlin’s creed? The fight in this country next year •will be for or against tbe tariff as a means of protecting American factor ies .and their working men. Thercean be no half-way ground. If the Republican party, nationally, adopts a platform pledging tariff re form, so-called, the Republican party will be defeated in the Presidential campaign. It will be defeated because the people who turn to the belief of tariff reform will turn away from the party that has always stood for a protective tariff. The Washington Post, an independ ent newspaper, does not believe that tariff reform will be put into the na tional platform of the Republican party next year. The Post, In an editorial- commenting on the Polk County Re publican convention, gives utterance to the following doubting expression. Af ter noting the pledge on the part of Governor Cummins to attempt to put the “Iowa idea” into the national Re publican platform, the Post says: “The thought the ‘Iowa idea,’ was put into ihe platform last year in such extremely mild terms that the country failed to realize its full import until Speaker Henderson flew the track and the other Iowa Republican leaderf were metaphorically by the ears. and In each other’s hair. In his Des Moines speech Governor Cummins declared that the -time. has come for enlarging the free list and a general revision of the- tariff schedules. That means war on the standpatters, and for that rea son much as we approve of it, we do not credit the intimation that it was indorsed by the President during the Governor’s recent visit to Washington. The President has certainly given no intimation, in his public acts or deliv erances, of a deslrh to promote strife In his party.” It may be true .’ that the national leaders of the Republican party will be In favor of putting into the platform a tariff piank with some uncertainties connected with it. But the party has not been dealing in uncertainties during the past eight years, and it will be strange if the national leaders shall once more be willing to, insert plati tudes capable of different constructions in different localities. Our own opinion is that ,the national platform next year will stand radically In favor of the protective tariff without apology; Meantime, the discussion going on is interesting.—Des Moines Capital.

WiSSS iastca SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL A Splendid Improvement. ■Brief reference was made last week to the Enterprise Mills at Kings Moun tain, N. C., as to erect an additional building 75x100 feet and install new spindles, etc. Contracts for tlie im provements, including machinery, have been awarded* and about §25,000 will be expended. The company’s new ma- Cinery will include 2464 spindles and fifty Icoms1 which increases the equip ment to 5352 spindles and 180 looms. The new building will give additional floor space for 150 more looms. The im? provements are expected to be completed within three months. Textile Notes. The Lowe Manufacturing Co. and the Eastern Manufacturing Co. of Huntsville, Ala., are preparing to be- gin work on the improvements pro* posed for doubling their respective plants. It was announced last year that these two companies (both in control of the same Fitchburg, Mass., cotton manufacturers) had decided to double their mills. The Lowe plant has 12,500 spindles, and the Eastern has 200 looms. Messrs. Cowell & Love are now preparing plans and specifications for these enlargements. The Lowe ad* dition will be an 80x133 foot structure, and the Eastern addition will be 60x120 feet. Blacksburg (S. C.) Spinning and Knitting Mill stockholders will meet June 30 to act upon a resolution passed by the directors on May 27. The resolution provides for increasing capital from §25,000.to $100,000 or a less sum, to issue §12,000 of preferred 8 per cent, stock, or to issue $12,000 of 6 per cent, bonds secured by a mortgage on the property. It is doubt less the intention, to jenlarge the plant, which at present has eighty knitting machines, steam-power plant and dyeing plant. Work is progressing on the con struction of the Apalache Cotton Mill, which incorporated last year. This plant is to have, when completed, 17,- 000 ring spindles and .37.5 broad looms, and be oporated by water-power. It is located at Greer Depot, S. C., and is capitalized at §350,000. This plant was one of those in the path of the flood last week, but was only slightly damaged. ; • Messrs. Seaton G-rantland, W. J. Kincaid, James M. Brauner, D. J. Bailey, Charles Wheeler and A. G. Martin have incorporated the Towaliga Falls Power Co. .to develop waterpower and transmit same by electricity, to establish and secure the establishment of cotton-and woolen mills and other industries; offices at High Falls; Ga: It is stated that the . Nashville Woolen Mills of Kashville, Ten., con* templates removing its plant to another city, consideration having been given to the advantages at Fayette ville, Tenn., and Corinth, Miss. This removal is talked of because of some difaculties as to water supply at Nashville. However, no definite decision has been made. * The Courtenay Manufacturing Co.’s plant at Newry,' S. C., was not ma terially injured by the flood of last week. The basement was flooded and warehouses were destroyed, with a loss of less than $20,000.. The mill proper, with its 19,440 ring spindles and 635 looms, has already resumed operations. M. H. Heed and associates of Mar ble Falls, Texas, reported last month as having purchased water-pow<5r rights and textile buildings located on the Colorado river near their city, are just beginning to organize a company to develop the properties..No definite statement • can be given at this time. Messrs. C. W. Cherry, W. .J. Rut ledge and F. M. Drane of Corsicana, Texas; S: Bi Allen and W. F. Ramsey of Cleburne, Texas, have incorporated the Corsicana Cotton Mills, with capital stock of $150,000. for manufacturing cotton'goods. No further details stated. The wool grown in the mountains of Bumet, Llano, Gillespie and Blanco counties, Texas, is now being marketed. Shipments were begun from Marble Falls, Texas, last week, three cars being loaded. Dispatches state that the average price paid was 161-2 cents.

W HEN Colonel Brownlow. of Tennessee, introflduced a bill in Congress appro priating’ $20,000,000. as a fund for Kational aid to road improvement in the United States, a good many people were startled at the size of the figures. ■ The amount, how- ever, seems very small compared with the slim that a single State now pro poses to raise and spend. The New York Legislature has adopted a constitutional amendment proposing to raise and spend $5,000,000 annually for ten. years, or §50,000,000 in all. This amendment must pass the Legis lature again in 1905, and then it will go before the people .for ratification or rejection. It can reasonably be ex pected that the measure will meet with popular favor. The people of New York bare given the principle of State aid a thorough trial and the results have been highly satisfactory.. “ One of the objections most loudly urged against both State and National aid is that it will eiicourage local com munities to neglect the improvement of their roads and depend on the State and the Federal Government to do the work for them. But this objection has proven to be purely imaginary.. In no place where State aid has been applied has any such result appeared. On the contrary, aid from the Statu treasury only stimulates self help. It arouses warm competition- among the counties and townships to' secure a share of. the State aid funds. Instead of sitting down and folding their hands as pre dicted, the local communities are rais ing a great deal more money under the stimulus of State aid than they did before. A very important advantage that comes from State aid is intelligent supervision in laying out roads, select ing materials, and in methods of con struction. This may mean all the dif ference between success and failure. Every year millions of the people’s hard-earned dollars are wasted, virtu ally thrown away, in fruitless at tempts to patch up bad roads, to fill mud holes, and to improve roads with unnecessary steep grades, all because there is no one in charge with the knowledge,, judgment and authority to do the work as it ought to be done. What is said of the advantages of State aid applies all the more forcibly to National aid. Its effect will be far- reaching. It will quicken the pulse of the whole nation.. It will*arouse uni versal activity. “Good Roads” will become the people’s watchword throughout the length and breadth of the land. A quarter of a century of work under National and State aid should give the United States the best system of roads in the world, instead of almost tlie worst, as at present.It looks now as if National aid is bound to come In tlie near future. Already the State Losislatures of Ala bama, Tennessee, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Missouri and Minnesota have put themselves on record in its favor. W araiy a n A rm im ent. In his address before tlie Good Roads Congress, Mr. Bryan advanced as an argument that the permanent- improve ment of the roads was a matter of justice to the people who live in the country, saying that it was a well-' known fact that the people in the country, while paying their full share of county, State and Federal taxes, receive as a rule only the general bener fits of government, while the people in the cities have, in addition to the pro tection afforded, the advantage arising from the expenditure of public money' in their midst. But this does not apply to the improvement of highways. The city streets are constructed at the cost of the locality. The trouble with the country districts has often been a dis tinct disinclination, as was shown in the reduction of the local proportion of payment under the recently enacted Sproul act in this State, to. do any thing to Improve the roads. And it must hot be forgotten that the cities , will pay a large proportnon of the ?6,- 500,000 to be expended under that act in improving highways wholly outside the city limits. Tie good roads movement is to be encouraged, not upon tbe theory that it'will benefit one class of the com munity or another, but because it will be to the advantage of the whole peo ple. whether residents of the rural or urban' districts.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

Crank Day at White Houes. The appearance at the Whito House of an old man named Barney Hughes, who said he was 100 years old and that the President had promised him a house and lot, which he had come to get, moved one of the secret service men at the White House to say that Friday-Is cranks’ day there.

Governor* Odell, in his recent mes sage, calls attention to the fact that in Vermont summer visitors spend. $5,- 000,000 a year during the summer sea son as transient* visitors to the State, and suggests that the forestry depart ment be authorized to spend money to advertise the summer advantages of New York State, with the ,purpose of bringing to this State a portion, of this large summer traffic. Most of this money would be paid to hotel keepers and people, taking boarders for the summer.

ItShouldBe Stopped Theindictinent in the federal court against Registrar Simpson of Rutherford county now pending at Charlotte should be quashed. We are of those who do not think that the rigid rule adopted by the reg istrar was correet or just, but as. we are informed it was applied without discrimination, and this relieves it of the intent necessary to justify criminal prosecution. Judge Boyd should stop the prose cution, 'lhere is no good to be ac complished by it.—Baleigh Post, Xes certainly, Judge Boyd took yonr advice with reierence to the registrars indicted after the elec tion of 1900 with the express un derstanding that you all would see to it that no such crimes again st a free and fair election would be repeated, at least that is what raauy of you promised. Judge Boyd is a dispenser of justice, and if the law has been violated the Post should not open its mouth, for by its own admission in the above article Simpson is guilty and should be punished. No dis crimination do you say? Is it not a glaring discrmination to allow ] one man to register Without requi ring him to read and write a sec tion ofthe constitution, while an-, other man is not allowed to regis ter because he cannot read and write the same section. The truth of the business Mr, Post, yonr whole constitutional amendment is void by reason of its conflict with the Federal constitution, , and whenever the courts get it iproper- Iy before it you will isee where it goes. Instead of advising Judge Boyd to violate the law Mr. Post jn stp u tin a little of your time and talent in keeping your regis trars out of such scrapes by advi sing them to do their duty as hon est la wabiding men.
