As to the good order on July 6th let me sny that I ha ve been inti­ mately connected" with every pub- Iji- event for 30 years and that the good order of onr Juiy celebration was a fair average of all past events. I coiild with equal-propri­ ety say that during the past week while attending the firemea’s tournament in Durham, that the reason that the hundreds of fire­ men and thousands of visitors be­ haved so well and were so remark - ably free from drankness was be- cause the.v had open bars in Dur­ ham. It. so happened that the on­ ly eases of intoxication that I had to deal with was caused by men who, while wailing at Selma for a railroad connection, patronized that abomination of a dispensary, where they had to buy a “drunk instead of a drink.” Mr. ifimocks having, as chair­ mail of the dispsisary board, had the monopoly oI the sale of whisk­ ey in Fayetteville for quite a while and also being the leader of the forces, that tried to prevent me from wiping tnat institution from off the earth in obedience to the expressed will of the white men of this county, quite uatnraly looks at things differently from a man like iriyself,' who has never had any connection whatever with the sale of whiskey. Being a temper­ ate mail myself and belonging to a family that his never been cursed with the disease of alcoholism, I can prehaps look at the whiskey question in a more judicial and impartial way than others who may not been so fortunate.

In prosperous times Iiks the pres­ ent strikes are frequent. When you hear of no strikes in a country, you may know that business is at a low ebb. When times are prosperous and there is a great demand for labor the workingman becomes more and more independent for his services are in great demand. During thelast Cleveland admin­ istration the workingmen of this now prosperous country came very near to starvation. Millions of workingmen were out of employ- ■ ment, and instead of thrift and en­ terprise we had Coxey armies and soup houses. These ragged work­ ingmen became tramps and they and their families lived on charity. We know some men in this (Cha tham) county alter cursing out Cleveland for two campaigns are now anxious to vote for.hiin again. These men imagine that the people have very short memories aud that they can fool them again. In this we think they are mistaken They may fool, some of t!*e people all the time but not all the people all the time. Every man of intelli­ gence knows what t! e Republican party stands for on all public questions. The ' party stands firmly and solidly for protection to American iiidiiatry. a safe, sound and stable system of finance and equal and exact justice to all men. Howvery different is the Democratic party. There is not, a living man who knows bow the party will stand next year on any question. The party si devided upon every ques­ tion under the sun and the leadere 3 continually showing their teeth and '‘gritting” them bitter- Ig at each other. Bryan says that Cleveland is a, bunco-steerer and is the millstone around the neck of the party. Cleveland’s friends say that Bryaii is notl'ing but a bag of bad gas, and so it goes. They are beginniug to size each othei up about right. Don’t go with the starvation crowd next year.—Chatham Citi­ zen. , ... Working Overtime.

At tlie village of Armensko the Turks destroyed 150 houses out of a total of 157 and massacre*! every inaut woman and child. The women were subjected to the most terrible atrocities by the soldiers. Eighty revolutionaries, captured at Krushevo, who were sent in the direc­ tion of Monastir in chains, were slaughtered by their guards. The sani­ tary conditions of Krashevo ;are de­ scribed as revolting. The dead are ly­ ing in the streets stripped of every garment, the Turks even taking the .vestments off the body of a priest. The Turks, it is reported, hate mas­sacred all the women and children in twenty-two villages of Ploriaa and Monastir, and have burned the vil­ lages. They are alleged' to have killed a number of prisoners. The streets of Krushevo are said to be strewn with dead. The survivors are afraid to bury the bodies. Following the proclamation: of the revolution throughout the vilayet of Adrianopole the insurgents cut all the telegraph lines connecting the city of Adrianople with the eastern parts of the vilayet. ; Sofia.—Travelers who arrived here Irom Adrlanople state that a miissacre of Christians has occurred there.

According to another version, a Tmkish officer tried to force an entrance into a Bulgarian liouse in order to molest the inmates. The latter resisted, whereupon the Ma­ hometans became excited, and, bands of soldiers and bashi-bazouks attacked the Bulgarian quarter of the town. Constantinople. Turkey.—According to Turkish advices, when the insur­gents captured Vasiliko, in the eastern part of the vilayet of Adrianople, they killed the garrison, consisting ot fifty ' soldiers, and about 100 of the inhab­ itants. The insurgents were threatening Midia, sixty miles northwest of Con­ stantinople on the Black Sea, and were reported also to be attacking the im­portant town of Kirk-Kilisseh, thirty- two miles from Adrianople. Christian, Greek and Musshlman refugees have arrived at the mouth of tlie Bosphorus from the neighborhood of Midia, fearing a massacre -there. They have been sheltered in the laza­ retto at Anadoli-Kavak and are being fed by the authorities. - The lighthouse at Kuru-Buriin, in Iniada Bay, has been abandoned by its keepers on account of the nearness of Qie insurgents.

AWFUL LOSS OF LIFE; S irs in Budapest — Over 100 Persons B urned to D eath. Budapest, Hungary.—Fire broke out In a four-story building, whose two lower floors were occupied by a fancy goods dealer named Goldberg ancl the upper floors by dwellers. There were 200 work people in the building, and the escape of many of them and of those who lived on the third and fourth floors was cut off by the flames. One hundred and twenty persons lost their lives, including Goldberg’s wife and son. The police announced that by jumping from the windows thirteen petsons were killed and sixteen in­jured, nine seriously. The damage is estimated at 4,000,000 kronen, mostly covered by insurance. Taris, France.—Maitre Labori, the lawyer who conducted the defense of Dreyfus, sprang a dramatic climax to the trial of the Humberts. He timed it a minute or two before the case was given to the jury. His client, Madame Therese Humbert, delivered an im­ passioned speech to the twelve men who decided her fate. She closed by making a theatrical show of revealing the true identity of the mysterious Crawford, the mythical American whose millions she was supposed to have inherited.tiNowt gentlemen of the jury,” she said, “I will give you the name of the CrawforX as they told it to me. They told me in answer to my insistent ques­ tions. I cannot guarantee its accuracy, as I had to rely on their word. M. Crawford said to1 me; *We are known as Crawford, but our real name is Beg- nier. My fortune was made during the war of 1S70 by speculation in rentes, which were then very low, and a large number were bought here/ 44RegnierI That is his name! Not Crawford!” she declared; “the Regnier who was intermediary between Mar­ shal Bazaine and the Germans.”Then she made a long pause, during which she and her husband, Labori and Romaine Dauregnac watched the effect of her revelation on the jpry. The faces of the latter suggested that it had done little more than kindle a half-amused interest“You know of this Regnier,” she con­ tinued. “He intrigued with Bismarck. He was connected with the treason.of Marshal Bazaine. He was condemned to death by court-martial. His iden­ tity seems to be otherwise unknown. What I say is true. I learned Craw­ ford’s real name in the manner I have stated. I never told my husband. I swear it on my daughter’s head. This is the first time my husband has heard the name.” She paused again and turned to the presiding judge. “What I say is true,” she reiterated. “The Crawfords exist, the fortune exists. I have cheated no one. I have made no false representa­ tions. I shall bring actions against the Crawfords.”Once again she addressed the jury: “I will say no more, gentlemen. It is enough to assure you that the fortune exists* There yoii have the whole Humbert case aud the whole Crawford case.”Then she pitched her voice to a much higher key. “I have full confidence,” she declared, “complete confidence, and now I await my fate.” There was a prolonged movement among the spectators. Their faces, like those of the jury, evlaced a feeling of disappointment.Maitre Labori arose and delivered a brief address to the jury. The sub­ stance of it was that the twelve men were now in full possession Qf the se­ cret of Mme. Humber:; that she had told them the same as she had told him. He read from a paper some facts bearing on the secret history of the Franco-Prussian War. By these it was shown that a Regnier acted as inter­ mediary between Prince Bismarck and Marshal Bazaine.The grand climax came a little later when the jury brought in a. verdict of guilty. From the mannev in which it was received by the people it was a decidedly popular verdict There was no delay in pronouncing sentence. Mme. Therese and Fred­ erick Humbert were each sentenced to five years* imprisonment Romaine Dauregnac to three years and Emile Dauregnac to two years. Following the announcement of the verdict Maitre Labori raised technical objections to the proceedings as a prob­ able basis of appeal. The great epoch of Mme. Humbert's career of fraud dates from the inven­ tion of the American millionaire, Rob­ ert Henry Crawford. The story she told was that at Nice, in the South of France, she saw a stranger, Robert Crawford, suddenly fall as he was get­ ting into a train. She went to his as­ sistance and nursed him back to life. In gratitude he left to her his whole fortune, amounting to $20,000,000.The fictitious millions served as se­ curity on which loans were raised from all classes of people, bankers, usurers, small tradespeople and country squires. In order to prevent the opening of the safe, in which she declared the will had been placed, and the inevitable ex­ posure of the fraud, she instructed lawyers who represented the phantom nephews, and other lawyers who ar­ gued her own case, thus putting off from year to year the opening of the safe. The whole cumbrous legal ma­ chinery of the French Republic was turned to her own • purpose, but the crash finally came, and she and the members of her family were arrested* , Prices Too H igh For Public Buildings.

DEFENDER THE BEST, HE SAYS The Second Kace Sailed Over a TrianjfU- Iar Course—Shamrock H I. KeacIies as 'W ell as Reliance — Challenger M ade a Bad Start, B ut Both Yachts W ere Ad­ m irably Handled—M agnificent Contest. New York City.—Shamrock III. “found herself” in the triangular race off Sandy Hook, the second of the series, with the cup defender Reliance. In a * sea that did not disturb the daintiest amateurs in gilt-fronted cap, and with just the sort o f wind the Briton’s admirers say she has been- longing for, she was defeated, but not ingloriously.The time of defeat might have been reduced to mere seconds if bad sea­ manship aboard the challenger at the beginning of the contest had not re­ sulted in a handicap of nineteen sec­ onds for her. As it was. Reliance won by three minutes and sixteen seconds, elapsed time, and one minute and nine­teen seconds, corrected time, Reliande allowing one minute and fifty-seven seconds to Shamrock III. Notwith­ standing that the breeze ^ blew with force varying from only six .to twelve miles, Reliance’s time over the course a h eb ic a’s cup. (three hours, fourteen minutes and fifty-four seconds) was only one minute and thirty-six seconds slower than that made by Columbia when she defeated Shamrock II. on October 3, 1901. in a piping northwester through choppy seas, establishing a record for single- stickers in a cup race. Considering the lightness of the breeze, the time of the racers may be considered remark­ able. Reliance’s gain on the first, or wind­ ward leg of the course, was one minute and eight seconds; deducting the handi­ cap of Shamrock III. at the start, the actual gain of the defender was only forty-nine seconds. On the second leg of the course, with the wind over the starboard quarter, Reliance gained one minute and twenty-three seconds. In the reach for home, during which the breeze shifted somewhat to westward, Reliance gained forty-five seconds. The first leg was ten miles to the south, about pai*allel with the Jersey coast; the second leg, ten miles north­east by east, one-half east; the third leg, ten miles northwest by one-half w est When the preparatory gun was fired the giants were maneuvering north of the line, drawn between Sandy Hook Lightship on the east and the tug Navigator, anchored about a quarter of a mile away to the west. They carried mainsails, clubtopsails, forestaysails and jibs, with handkerchief jibtopsails in stops ready to break out. ; Sir Thomas Lipton, on the second defeat of Shamrock III. by Reliance, philosophically said: “You have all seen the results, and the only thing I can say is that we did better to-day than in the last race, which is hopeful. I figure my .defeat at a little over one minute. If I make as much progress in the next race as I have in' this one over the last I’ll be a good bit ahead when the finish line is reached. I was more than pleased at the way my boat was handled to-day. “It is hard to admit it, but the best boat won. Perhaps if we had had more wind at the finish the result might have been different. But I do not want to- throw cold water on the victory. It is. hard to win every race in such a series, and I hope our turn will come next.” In returning from the yacht race in the afternoon the steamboat Mon- month, loaded with member of the New York Yacht Club, and J. P. Mor­gan’s yacht, the Corsair, were in colli­sion. The Corsair was on the starboard side of the Monmouth, and the two were steaming in parallel liues. The Corsair suddenly deflected to port, ex­pecting, presumably, that the Mon­ mouth would do the same. But the Monmouth was unable to do so, owing to the. fact that the Josephine, also loaded with people, was oq her port side. The prow of the big black yacht struck the Monmouth amidships. For­ tunately she slid off, tearing away the awnings and the rail of the Monmouth. The Corsair also was somewhat dam­ aged, one of her lifeboats beinj smashed. Prom inent People.

Side of the M ountain Opens O ut — Super­ stitions X capolitarsW ant P ro­ fessor S ru ll Expelled. r Naples, Italy.—The people of Naples and the environs witnessed a remark­ able spectacle at noon a few days ago. One thousand feet below 1he central cone of Vesuvius the volcano opened like a huge mouth, out of which belched a fiery stream of lava, which ran down the side of the mountain and at first seemed to menace the observatory. This building, however, is protected in the direction of the stream by a mound of | lava 200 feet high, which was thrown out during the eruptions of 18135 and 1900. lJlIie eruption occurred without auy warning whatever. There was no. earthquake, detonation or rain of ashen —nothing but a clear stream of lava and red-hot stones, which were thrown to a height of 700 feet, producing an extremely beautiful effect seen from Naples. The stream of lava, which was fifteen feet broad, at 11 o’clock p. m. had covered a distance of 2700 feet. It deviated later from the direction of the observatory, which is no longer menaced. The only danger is for the new electric tramway up the volcano, which, however, has thus far not been touched. The eruption already seems to be decreasing, and it is hoped that no damage will result from it The spectators far enough away not to Ije frightened stood entranced at the spectacle, but those nearer to the vol­ cano were seized with panic when the eruption began and rushed down from the sides of the mountain and from the adjacent country to the villages of Por- ticijand Resina, which are built over the jruins of Herculaneum. The alarm in tiiese villages was somewhat quieted by the Mayors affixing notices declaring that there was no dauger and exhort­ ing the people to remain calm. The Chief of Police of Nap!es has gone personally to make a tour of the villages around Vesuvius in order to reassure the peasants and superintend any measures of protection which may be deemed necessary. Tlie supersti­ tious lower classes are agitating for the expulsion of Professor Kroll. of Mn* nich. who predicted the eruntion, say­ ing that he has the “evil eye.” j TOM JOHNSON FOR GOVERNOR. ' Named by the Ohio Democrats in State Convention a t Columbus. Columbus, Ohio.—At the Democratic State Convention her.e Mayor Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland, was named for Governor and John H. Clarke, of Cleve­ land, was indorsed for United States Senator. Although the opposition ob­structed the proceedings with minority reports for some hours, the name of John L. Zimmerman, of Springfield, was not presented for the nomination for Governor, and every nomination on the State ticket was made by acclama­ tion. A platform indorsing the Kansas City declaration of WilUam Jennings Bryan was adopted, and a special resolution asking Mr. Bryan to speak during the campaign was also passed. The declarations upon national ques­ tions are as follows: .“Assembled in convention at Colum­ bus, preparatory to the State election of 1903, we, tlie Democrats of Ohio, re­ affirming the declaration on national is­ sues In our platform of 1902, adopted at Sandusky, hereby renew our alle­ giance to the Democratic party of the nation, and again avow our devotion to the principles of its last national plat­ form, We accordingly condemu colo­ nialism and imperialism, denounce trusts and trust fostering tariffs, repu­ diate government by injunction, and oppose financial mononoly, together with every other legalized monopoly and legalized privilege. Adhering to these principles of the Kansas City platform, we repeat our condemnation of all efforts to renounce or ignore them. “Until United States Seuators are re. quired by amendment of the Federal Constitution to be elected by popular vote nominations of candidates for Uni­ ted States Senator should be made by State conventions.” “ BILL ARP” PASSES AWAY.

BITEA SESSION NOV. 9. TO CONSIDER CUBAN TREATY AND THE CURRENCY. Some Q uestions of Hlgrh Im portance B rought to Hte A ttention of Congress In Connection TVlth th e Proposed Re­ ciprocity A rrangem ent. It is authoritatively announced by Senator Lodge, as the result of a recent visit to Oyster Bay, that the President has fixed upon November 9 as the day on which Congress will assemble in an extra session, called primarily for the approval of the Cuban treaty, which was ratified by the Senate last March, and incidentally to act upon curreucy legislation along the lines indicated in the views and declarations set forth in various speeches by the President. Opinion varies alike &s to the wisdom of summoning Congress into extra ses­ sion for these purposes, and also as to the length of time that will be required to enact the legislation that shall carry into effect the President’s wishes both as to the Cuban treaty and tlie im­ provement of our currency system. The New YorkkTribune thinks the ses­ sion should be a short one. It says: “The Cuban legislation indeed should take no time at all, for all that is needed is a simple act modifyiug the tariff law in conformity with the treaty already ratified by the Senate. No question of detail calls for discussion. The simple issue is carrying out the treaty or not carrying it out. Prac­ tically every member now knows what he thinks, and the bill could properly be brought to a vote in each house at once. Any delay on the pretense of discussion merely means that persons who want the treaty to fail, but do not dare to face public opinion in favot of concessions to Cuba, are taking an indirect method to kill it. As the Sen* ate has already ratified the treaty, it may be expected that it will vote with* out question to put its own measure in operation. The difficulty, if any is to be encountered, will doubtless be In the House, where a determined ele* ment is opposed to any closer trade relations with Cuba from perfectly well understood selfish motives.” Without stopping to inquire why it U thought necessary to ascribe selfish motives to those' who do no more than to ask that the Government and the Republican party keep faith with them in the matter of the tariff protection guaranteed to them by the Dingle} law, while motives of the highest pat­ riotism are ascribed to those who seek to set up the new and strange doc­ trine that it is always proper to sacrfc fice one industry for the benefit of an­ other industry, provided you can in* fluence enough votes in Congress to carry out the deal—without going more deeply into this peculiar phase of a peculiar question, iet us proceed t< consider whether it is true, as the Tribune asserts, that “The Cuban legislation indeed should take no tim« at all,” etc. We are inclined to think that the legislation necessary to con­ summate the reciprocity arrangemenl with Cuba will and ought to take very much more time than “no time at all.” The treaty has been ratified by the Senate and now awaits the sanction of the House. Before the House can reach a final vote on the question ol approval it would seem to be natural if not indeed absolutely inevitable that the Kepublican majority in the House should very seriously considei and thoroughly debate the following questions, among others: 1. Is the proposed treaty constitu­ tional? Does not the Constitution specifically require that all legislation affecting the revenue shall originate in the House? Is there a case on rec­ ord where legislation affecting the rev* enue has originated in the Senate and has subsequently been approved bj the House? 2. Does it not involve the violation by the Government of a contract ol agreement with certain producing in­ terests of the United States—namely, the Dingley tariff law? 3. Is it equitable, fair or politically expedient that the American farmers who grow sugar and tobacco and the American capital and labor engaged In the manufacture of cigars should alone be selected to bear all the burdens ot reciprocity with Cuba? 4. Is it economically wise to dlscour. age American sugar production, when with the Dingley tariff duties retained for a period of less than ten years that Crrnvinsr iUdiKttrv ^ouM com­pletely supply the domestic demand and retain in this country the §100,- 000,000 a year now sent' abroad to pay for sugar imported from foreign coun­tries? 5. Does not the United States run the risk of provoking retaliation and commercial warfare when it discrim­ inates, against the sugar producers of Germany, France, Russia, Belgium, etc., and in favor of the sugar growers of Cuba? C. Are we not subjecting Cuba to the risk of proyokinrr VPtMintinn wIipu we compel her to discriminate In favor of manufactured products from the United States and against the com­ peting products of all other coun­ tries? 7. If the policy of protection, to all domestic labor and industry is to be abrogated#or relaxed in favor of Cuban competitors, how can we refuse similar favors to other and far more im-' portant countries? And where and when will such abrogation and relaxa­tion stop? . - i '? ; Most, ,of the minor jwets are ' old Anoiiirb to vote. THE AMERICAN farmer.

C tinnlfA r p i EORGE PULLMAN, once, said, when asked the secret of easy fftding, that the secrets are so many that no one can keep them. '.SThis is true, but the easing of curves is one of them. Curves, no matter how slight, hare always been laid as arcs of true circles, The outer rail is raised according to the sharpnes‘j! of the curve and the estimated speed of trains that are to round it A mile-a-minute train on a one degree curve needs an outer rail five inches higher than the inner rail; a slower train a lower ’Ktevation. It is clear from this explanation that a train going faster than the maximum for which the track is prepared would shoot off the rails. Conversely, a slower train than the one provided for would grind the flanges off its wheels. Any road must strike a serviceable average for trains of varying speeds, and engineers must nurse their locomotives around the curves as close to It as possible That puts an inevitable check on high speeds. The Empire State Express once made a burst for two miles at the rate of 102 miles an hour on a straightway section of track. A heavy curve would have shot the engine at that top speed a quarter of a mile ’cross country. On most roads, however, sixty miles an hour is quite safe, though very costly. To permit such speed the engineers of the last few years, in relaying tracks, instead of starting a true circle curve with the sudden lift of the outer rail that causes the jolt and lurch that*travelers know, have laid a slight parabolic curve from a point a hundred yards back on the straight track, and have ele­ vated the outer rail imperceptibly along that curve to the maximum. The re* suit of the device—in practice quite new—has been the annihilation of curves as regards a passenger’s senses. With eyes shut ho cannot tell whether the track is straight or curved.—World’s Work. - IT® Climax of Napoleon’s Pollies. B y G oX dw in S m ith * AA A A AA^ A IjT of all Napoleon’s insanities, for they were nothing less, the climax was the invasion of Russia. W hat motive can he have T T * j3 TT had for this, saving delirious ambition, and what was also flh- Mtf AA doubtedly strong in him, sheer love of the bloody game of war? He evidently reckoned on encountering the Russian army of de- TrTTTTTT fense nearer the frontier, winning an Austerlitz or a Jena, die* taring terms as he had dictated them to Austria or Prussia, and returning to Paris Sn triumph. He was deceived in the character of his enemy. He tried in vain to force a battle at Smolensko. The Russians* instead of fighting him near the frontier, retreated before him, gave up their country to his ravages, compelled him to make a march in which he lost a great part of his enormous host, and after handling him w ry severely it Borodino, evacuated Moscow, leaving it in flames. They then refused to treat with him. He had consequently to decamp without Laving provided for retreat or subsistence. He lost almost his entire army in the wintry wastes, and but for the extraordinary conduct of Eutusoff in letting him and his guard pass unopposed, would himself have fallen into the hands of the enemy. This error was on a far more imposing seale and more tragical than any blunder <&t Beaulieu or Mack. But was it less of a blunder, or less of a detraction from the reputation of the man of aetion or ercu from that of the commander? It is frightful to think what power a despot has for evil. There was probably not a soul on either side, saving Napoleon himself, who desired the Russian expedition.—The Atlantic. IEe Development of the Racing HalL B y J o lin IL S p e a r s. B REDICTIONS are made that as an experiment In the shapes of hulls the Taces of this year are to be <of -greater Interest than any over held. In the races of the Galatea period the stem rose verti­ cally out of the water, while the stern overhung the water by a few feet A broadside view of either -of them showed a lateral plane that looked like a sled runnen cut from a plank by a country boy. Seen from another point -of view the bow of the yacht was found to be a vertical wedge, thin and sharp, like the blade of a woodman’s ax; and it was a question among builders whether the wedge should have lines like an a s or hollow lines like :a razor. The stem below the waterline was also something of a vertical wedge, though i blunter one than the bow. In general dimensions the Galatea was 102 feet long over all. eiglity-seven feet on the waterline, fifteen feet wide, perhaps ten feet deep below decks, and her -draught was thirteen feet six inches. Her suc­ cessful opponent, the Mayflower, was 100 feet long over all, was twenty-three feet wide, and was perhaps seven feet deep under the deck, and she -drew ten feet of water. With these facts in mind wc can see how far we have traveled in changing the: shapes of boats of that class. For Shamrock III., though but three feet longer on the waterline, is 140 feet Jong over alL Tho old boat had an overhang of fifteen feet, all of which was aft, while the new boat has an overhang of twenty-five feet at each end. The new defender, whea compared with the Mayflower, shows almost exactly the same changes in length. Roughly speaking each end .of the old yachts was a wedge that rode the wafer with its edge perpendicular. The forward half of Shamrock HL is not unlike the half of a cone split lengthwise, while the stem half is drawn out into a long, thin, horizontal wedge—a wedge with its edge laid parallel with the water. At the stem the challenger is a scow. The Reliance, liowever is a scow at both ends, in spite of the fact that her bow comes to a point above water. Each end presents a fine horizontal wedge to the water, and therefore in every Bailing line she is a scow. We used to stand in front of a yacht and marvel at the thinness of the vertical wedge. Now we stand off abeam and look with delight at the sweep of the fore and aft lines. One sees at a glance why the modem hull is more easily, and therefore more swiftly, driven through the water. T^e modern hud presents fine or acute angles to the water, where the old hull presented wide or obtuse angles.—The World’s Work.Il Women Were Men. B y W . D . H o w e ll. NE often hears the expression In women:' “Oil, If I were only a man!” “I should just Iite to be: a“ man, onee!” I would give anything to be a man!" In all honesty, then, or In as much honesty as she is obliged to have, is not woman, when she is thinking of living her life over again, thinking of living a man’s life? Xs not;siie'wishing to set an example to her hus­ band, who has shown hiihseif so little able to set an example to her, and for whose^discipline she is believed oftenest to in­ dulge what seems a vain aspiration? A very Strange thing In regard to this is that men are never heard sighing to be women. The weakest, the unhappiest, tbe most abject of men is not known to wish himself a woman, and when he considers living his life over again it is certainly a man’s life that he has ih mind. He is perfectly willing to allow that a woman is much better by nature, wiser by teaching, sweeter, lovelier, gentler, and yet he does not ask to change his lot with hers; if he were ayie'ggar, and she a queen, he would not. He is found saying, In print and out of if,'that women have by far the safest, easiest and pleasantest time of it, but still, somehow, he does .not envy them enough to offer changing places with them. He will tell them, as he has often told them, that they are the real rulers of the world, and that in the sacred quality of daughter, wife and mother they are the holiest beings on earth; he bows down In worship of them, but he leaves them their altar. He does not think it any great thing to be a man, but he is not surprised that the objects of his idolatry should sometimes declare themselves eager to descend from their high places and be men, in the dust and grime of affairs,.the din and heat of battle, and the wild, useless efforts to escape from the struggle of life. He understands that they wish to be men in order to show men what men ought to be, and would be If they were women, and that they are not meaning permanently to be men, and he forgives to their ignorance and inexperience Wliat he could not otherwise ac­ count for. H s forgives it with a smile, and possibly with a chuckle. Minor Hention.

A very destructive tobacco disease has recently broken out with extreme violence in certain portions of the State. It is the dpire of the N. C.

The poipt now most to be de­ sired is to find opt how widely the dis­ ease is distributed over the State. To that end it is requested that all peo­ ple interested in tobaoco growing, who are troubled wiiih any disease of the tobacco plants ivill -send specimens consisting of thfe lower part of the stem and the rqots to the Station. It is particularly !desired that these specimens if thje disease consists.of the wilting of the leaves, accompanied by a brown color in til at portion of the stem just inside of the bank. It is urged upon all tobaioco growers the im­portance of ncrtifying the Station im­ mediately after tihis disease appears in the neighborhood, so that they may advise as to the means of preventing Its spread.

OFFICIAL LETTERS MADE PUBLIC Secretary hoot W ill Retire in January ITmler au Arrangement W ltli tlie Fresl Gent, WIio Sentls Him a Xettnr of Ap­ preciation — General Xulce W riglit Se­ lected For Governor of Philippines. Oyster Bay, L. I.—Secretary Root, under date August 10, has presented his resignation formally to the Presi­ dent. The resignation was accepted by the President with the understand­ ing that Mr. Root continue as Secre­ tary of War at least until January I. Governor William H. Taft, of the Philippines, will succeed Mr. Root as Secretary of War, and General Luke E. Wright will succeed Judge Taft as Governor of the Philippines.President Roosevelt authorized the following statement: “The President some months ago tendered the Secretaryship of War to Judge Taft, and at . that time it was arranged that he would succeed Sec­ retary Root. Secretary Root will go out of office some time in January, and Judge Taft will assume the duties of the office shortly afterward.” The President also authorized the publication of the correspondence be­tween him and Secretaiy Root con­ cerning the latter’s resignation. In his letter to the President Mr. Root referred to his wish to retire to private life after the establishment of the General Staff of the Army and the completion of his four years of ser­ vice as Secretary of War. Now, on the eve of sailing to Englaud to sit on the Alaska Boundary Tribunal, he ten­ dered his resignation, to take effect upon tlie appointment and qualifica­ tion of his successor. Mr. Root con­ tinued: “I shall carry with me unabated loyalty to your Administration, confi­ dence in the sound conservatism and patriotic unselfishness of your policy, and enduring gratitude for the kind­ ness and consideration with which your friendship has honored me. I shall not cease to appreciate the sym­ pathy and loyalty to President Mc­ Kinley with which you took and car­ ried on his work, and I shall always be happy to have been a part of the Administration directed by your sin­cere and rugged adherence to right and devotion to the true interests of our country.” President Roosevelt, in his accept­ ance of Sir. Root’s resignation, said that his personal loss in the with­ drawal of the Secretary of War from public life was very great, but that hte «ense of loss to the nation was even greater. The President, after highly praising Mr. Root’s work in the War Department, said: ■“Tour duties have included more than merely the administration of the !Department, and the reorganization of the army on an effective basis. You have also been the head of the depart­ ment which dealt with the vast and delicate problems involved in our pos­session of the Philippine Islands, and your success in dealing with this part of your work has been as signal as your success in dealing with the purely military problems. To very few states, men, indeed, in any country is it given a t one and the same tlm*» to achieve signal and striking triumphs In the administration and reform of the mili­ tary branch of the Government, and in the -administration of what was in ef­ fect a department of insular depend­ encies, where the problems were new to our people and were in themselves of great difficulty.'“Moreover, aside from yonr work in these two divisions of the Government service. I appreciate most keenly Ihe invaluable advice and assistance you have rendered me in innumwable mat­ ters -of weight not coming directly in your departmental province, but in which I sought your aid with the cer­ tainty of not being disappointed. Your position on the Alaskan Boundary Commission at the present moment is an iliustiution of these services.“May all good fortune attend you wherever you are: tlie American peo­ ple wish you well, and appreciate to the full tlie debt due you for all that you have done on their behalf.” RAPS BRITISH WAR OFFICE.

Iieeclier s Advise to His Son Fiom a Jetter once written to his son by the famous preacher, we take tte following wise hints, which are good for all yoiing wo­ men, too: '1Toumustnotget into debt. Avoiddebt as yon would the devil. Makeit a fundamen­ tal rule: Cash or nothing. “ Make but few promises. Be- ligiously observe th„e smallest pro­ mise. his promise can’t afiord lo make many. “Be scrupulously careful in aJj statements. Aim at accuracy and perfect frankuesss, no guess work — either nothing or exact truth. • i When working for others sink yourself out of sight; seek their intrest. Make yourself necessary to those who employ you by indus­ try, fidelity, and scrupulous inter- grity. Selfishnessis fatal. “Bold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Demand .more of yourself than anybody expects of yon. Keep yoar own strndard high. STeves excuse yourself to yourself. Sever pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself, but lenient to everybody else. ‘•Concentrate your force on your own business; do not turn off. Be constant steadfast, persevering. “The art of making one’s fortune is to waste nothing; in this coun­ try any any intelligent and indus­ trious young man may become rich if he stops all lealrs and is not in a hurry. Do not make haste; be pa­ tient. ‘•Do not speculate or gamble. Steady, patient industry is both the surest and the safest way. Greediness and haste are two devils that destroy thonsande every year.” Gk ihA Exeiu-sioii, A big excursion from Mocksville to Greensboro Saturday, Sept. 12th Fare from Mocksville round trip 81.10, from Advance SI.00.

In declaring that a newspaper is a “necessity” and not a “luxury” a learned Philadelphia judge said: It keeps men informed on every event of public !interest and in a manner furnishes the ouly common channel of communication between the people. Itwatches with care over the conduct of our public o'lieers and Ihe manner of their duties. It molds, it it does not form, pitblie opinion upon public questions, and conserves the in­ terests of citizen aad public which it would be impossible to do in auy other way. It educates, in­ spires heroism, elevates aud stren­ gthens the love of home and coun­ try.” TheIearnedjudgehas the right idea of what constitutes a real newspaper. The printed sliest which has uo ideas of its own, and whose sole object in life is to cover witii fulsome flattery the good, the indifferent a'Kl the bad in the vain hope that each will contribute to its exchequer,s doe not deserve the name of newspaper in tlie bcsc euse of the term.—The Guide.

Let’s see if we can account for his appailing condition In North |nd South Carolina. In 1898 Tillman’s Red shirt Iiethods were introduced *in this tate. Can any intelligent man de. y that the methods resorted to by emoeraey in ISDS and 1900 with pie Redshirt brigades, rotten eggs Imrjury and other illegal methods esarted to iu order to carry the lections had much to do with tarting the ball to rolling. These uen where protected by the men uighesl in authority iu the state, |vere given a "cart blanche” to do ; they please, and today we are Reaping the seeds sown in those ampaigns. No one is surprised Ihat South Carolina stands nest |o North Carolina, Mr. Aycock in bis inaugaral id dress said, that crime stalked abroad in the state under Fusion rule. It is worse than ever now, and it cannot be laid to the door Jof the Republicans. You cannot pick up a paper these days with­ out 6eeiug an account of some hei­ nous crime.

Thirdly, let’s all join hands for a perfectly fair and hon­ est election next year, let’s place these things above party success, and we will see a different eoudi= tion of affairs in our state. Give Tillmanismablaek eje in North Carolina. The good name of our state, the peace and good order, the protec­ tion of the citizen however hum­ ble, in the exercise aud enjoyment of his rights should be assnred, and ail hands should march abreast and onward for a better and high­ er ideal. The Poor Whites. A special from Troy, Alabama, says that the evidence in the case of the United States against Mar­ ion Prestwood, a wealthy planter aud turpentine operator, which was heard there on Saturday last before the Federal Commissioner, shows that poor whites as well as negroes are being held in slavery in Alabama. There is a lesson in this for the whites1. Any system which discri­ minates unfairly and unjustly against the negro will sooner or later be used against the whites. AYe have seen this in fraudulent election practices, and we have seen it to a greater or less extent in the matter of lynching. AU lawless­ ness, no matter who the victims chance to be, is reactionary. AYe cannot be brutal toward the negro race without brutalizing ourselves, and when the white race becomes brutalized it will deal brutally with members of another race. Once permit the peonage system agfiinst the black man and it will rurely operate to a greater or less degree against the white man. —Times Dispatch, The above article frcm the Times Dispatch a Democratic pap­ er shows where we are drifting. Peonage is bat another name for human slavery, parties in Alaba­ ma have been indicted in U Scourt for holding white people as well negioes iu virtual slavery. Alaba­ ma is a Democratic state, yet not one of these parties were indicted iu their own state courts. * These large planters virtnrally own the magistrates and they take lip poor people for some trivial of­ fense and put a line upon them, and some plauter takes them for years for their food, holding them iu bondage, often locking them up at night iu order to keep them from escaping. !Step by step Dem­ ocracy is depriving the poor men of their r,ghrs to vote thus plac­ ing the power iu the hands of a tew. They curse cooperations, combines and trusts yet they are making it eaiser every day for these agregaltons ot wealth to throttle the will of the people The liberties of x>eople lies in tne right of every mau having a voice in the government. Aucieut and modern history teaches us that the liber­ ties aud rights of the people have been curtailed and desttoyed, on­ ly when the people intrusted to the few the right to rale and gov­ ern. Right here to-day iu our own state, arrogant, domineering Dem­ ocracy tries to crush aud destroy every mau ivho apposes aud ex­ poses their methods. “The Divine Riilersare above criticism.” No man has a right iu their opinion to question the acts Oftheir officials Gstracism aud boycotte are used to crash and stifle every man who opposes or exposes their methods. Not until it is too late we fear, will tee great masses realize their tree situation, aud throw off the yoke of the oppressors. Rome rose flou-. rished and became a woild power, but when her nobles decided to take away the rights of the masses and did so, her glory began to wane, internal dissentions broke loose, and the great Roman empire decayed and tell. Are we not drif­ ting in the same direction? Are not Democratic Methods leading ns on to certain destruction? Uore Riots. Disturbances of strikers are not nearly as graveas an individual dis order of the system. Overwork, loss of sleep, nervous tension will be followed by utter collapse, un­ less a reliable remedy is immedia­ tely employed.

The Masous of North Carolina are making a determined effort to erect a handsome Masonic Temple in Raleigh, the capital city of the State. They are now preparing a grand Masonic Fair on a large scale to be held in Nash Square, Raleigh, October the 12 to 241903. Col. Noble F. Martin, one of the best managers of such events in the United States, has charge of the fair, while various committees are hard at work, and Masons all over the state are talking and pulling for the success of the fair. Col. Martin will introduce many new aDd novel features in this fait. There will he absolutely none of the usual vulgar midway attrac­ tions about it. Everything will be clean and bright, and the standard of Masonry will be kept elevated. The railroads will grant reduced rates, so that all can avail them­ selves of an opportunity of having a good time and placing one or more bricks Id the grand temple building. By What Authority. The smallest reduction was in the case of Henry Perry of Little River. His property Svas reduced from §500 te §175 Iti order not to cut him out of a pension, since if he owned §500 worth of property he would be disqualified.—Raleigh Post. Recently in reading the action of the Wake county equalization board, reported in the Raleigh Post we notice where they reduced the assessment of one mans property below §500 in order to allow him to draw a pension. AVe wish some astute Democratic laivyer would show us by what authority the - board of Equalization can change the assessment of oues property for any such reason. Is there any law for such proceedings? This is an­ other instance of good government under Democratic rule. What a- boutit Mr1Post. , The AVay ltjts Said.

Attention has paea called to the remarkable incr^ise in the export of American products, especially within icomparajfcively recent pe­ riod. The figures are so impres­ sive and conclnsSve as an exhibit of what we arc) doing, notwith­ standing the ho|tility which, ac­ cording to our Ifree-Traile friends That Overtime. Tlie Democratic press' are say­ ing a good deal about the negro from Halifax who was kept in prison three years over his time. Theylayitall ou the Fusionists. How much of that time was ser­ ved under the Democratic. Admin­ istration is not said. We are . re­ liably informed that it’s no un­ common thing at present for State prisoners to be kept overtime, but are whipped also, after the time for their discharge has expired. The presumption is that this convict served a goodly portion of this term under Democratic mana­ gement, and if this mistake of the Fnsionist has just been uuearthed, it strikes us that there must be grO:S mismanagement by the pre­ sent crowd or they would have found it out long ago. It’s a funny thing to Bro. Caldwell of the Ob­ server, but it strikes us all of the joke is not on one side were facts correctly stated. we have arousfd by our “ ultra Protection,” tljat not even the Tariff ref irmeifs” can deny or question the significance of the showing. The oply recourse is to the contention tjiat the great tide of exports is temporary and due to exceptional conditions. The Free- Traders have been harping on this string for several years. They have pointed opt, to their satis­ faction, how ijupossible it is for the American people to sell goods abroa d if we { put up the bars against goods |f other countries. Meanwhile, however, our foreign trade has gone right along, and we are now at the point where the United States Exports more ,goods than any otlher nation on the globe, although many others had been engaged in commerce for centuries, before this government had an existence. The United States has confound­ ed its commercial rivals and re­ futed all the I arguments of the Free-Trade critics. It has attained to the first place among exporting nations because it- had the intelli­ gence and courage to foster its' home industries until they reached the stage where the superiorty of our products was recognized, and the iest was easy. This demolishes the Free-Trade structure of soph­ istry and theorizing, but to the American Protectionist and to pa­ triotic Americans generally it is a very sa.tisfaei.ory and gratifying condition of Shings.—Troy Times.

Kinston, Special.—A sensational tragedy occurred in this place’at I o'clock: Friday when Emmett Boyett shot and killed his wife, Lena Boyeit, on the front porch of her father’s house, on Blount street, in the pres­ ence of her mother and youngei sister. Boyett was evidently under the influ- euce of liquor at the time and the act was one of premeditation, as h|e had shown the pistol, a 38-calihre, to Mr. Walter Fields while on the way to the home of his wife, who has for; some time been living with her fatherl J. C. Chestnut, a saloon-keeper on North street The incentive was jealousy on the part of the husband, who had been separated from his wife and a suit was pending for divorce. Woman Fatally Hurt. Winston-Salem, Special.—Zell Tay­lor, the colored woman who stabbed Douglas Hairston, colored, to death here Monday night, leaped from one of the windows in the mayor’s court room at 5:30 Friday afternoon, falling a dis­ tance of 30 feet. Her skull was crushed and one hip dislocated. She was uncon­ scious when picked up and .the,two- physicians who were called in say she cannot live. She was removed to the Slater Hospital. New evidence was pre­ sented to the mayor indicating that the woman is guilty of murder, and it was ordered the defendant be committed to jail to await trial at the higher court. As soon as this was announced the wo­man arose and leaped out of the widow nearest her, headforemost. State News Items. * A proposition is made to lease for 50 years the Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad. The State owns two-thirds of its $3,000,000 capital stock. A rate is offered which will, it is said, yield something like 2% per cent, on the stock. Two per cent, interest is the highest yet paid, I per eent. being the average. The road has been improved to a remarkable degree during the presidency of James A. Bryam and along all lines is now in far better condition than ever,before. A rumor was cimicnt Monday that an effort was being made to buy the road, but the facts are as above stated. Maybet More- head City will again be made a port. It is claimed by the people in Raleigh that the port was closed by means of si certain deal made with the Atlantic- Coast Line owners in that city about 1877. An attempted assault case under cir­ cumstances of peculiar brutality was Reported Monday afternoon from the northern part of Buncombe county. Mr. and Mrs. James Lee Williams went a short distance from their home and during their absence John Chan­ dler, a young painter, attempted to criminally assault their 6-year-old daughter.

James Haden, a freight brakeman, running between Spencer and Selma, fell from the train while it was pulling out from Thomasville Monday.

The suggestion is made froini Ral- ^eigh, that Governor Aycock is thinking of addressing a letter .to the governors -of each, of the Southern tobacco grow­ l's States, with a view of getting up a joint petition, to the President or some other federal authority to investigate and prosecute the tobacco trust • The idea is that this company is responsi­ ble for the prices of tobacco which are said to be unsatisfactory; and the pro. position is that Governor Aycock pro­ poses to have the company brought up under the federal laws under which sO lltle has been done and about which so much has been said. It would most IiWely be a waste of-time and ammuni­ tion and give the president a chance to make another “speil.” ' Major George P.

The American Boat Won Out In Every Test. SHE SHOWED HER SUPERIORITY. The Final Race Was hade on Thursday—Sir Thomas Makes a Speech. The international cup- contest that has been in progress for the past two weeks came to a close on Thursday when the American boat, the Reliance, won a third time. The racing this year was peculiar in that the British chal­ lenger, ,Shamrock UI failed to score a single victory, losing in every sort of weather. Sir Thomas Lipton has made a brave fight for the cup, but has failed three times in succession. The events of the preseat season have been about as follows: The first race was a failure, both boats failing to cross the line within the time limit. The second race showed a signal victory for the Reliance. The third race was closer, the Reli­ ance winning by a very narrow mar­ gin—less than two minutes. The fourth and fifth races were both failures on acocunt of the slow breeze blowing. The yachts failed to make an effort on Saturday because of the stormy weather. On Monday the wind was stationary and no race was run. On Tuesday the conditions were the same, and Wed­ nesday showed no improvement. The final and deciding race was run on Thursday and was a complete vie AHEP.ICA S CT7P* Engine and Three Cars Go Through Trestle Near Yorkville. SIX KILLED AND MANY INJURED (Ir. B. F.

The details of the final race are given In the folowing dispatch: New York, Special.—The Reliance, the American cup defender, won the third and final race, and the series for that famous sea trophy, the American’s cup. In a dense fog, which prevented vision beyond 200 yards, she finished the race at 5:30:02, amid the acclama­tion of the assembled fleet. Shamrock III., after running for more than an hour in the fog, missed the finish line, pasSed by it, and then returned to it -from the opposite direction. As the Re­ liance was then being towed through the fleet yacht, ensigns fluttering from her truck and spreading in celebration of her victory, the Shamrock III. did not cross the finish line. As often said of the historic race when the -America won the cup, there was no second.This successful result was achieved only after four futile attempts to sail off the final race and after the outcome had been admitted by even Sir Thomas Lipton to be a foregone conclusion. The day’s was the eighth attempt to sail a race. After one fluke the Reli­ ance won the two following races, one by 7 minutes and 3 seconds, and the other by I minute and 19 seconds. A week ago the first atempt to sail the third race failed and attempts have been made every day this week. On two occasions the Reliance led the Shamrock to the finish line by about 2 miles;-but failed to reach it before the expiration Of the time limit of 5% hours. The day’s victpry. means That the'ciip'is: destined to remain in Amer­ica until England is able to produce a genius equal, ,to Hesrreschoff in ’yacht designing. Sir Thomas Speaks. . A banquet was tendered Sir Thom­ as Lipton at New York Fridiay night. It was a brilliant affair. The toasts and responses were ‘felicitous. The speech of Sir Thomas was as fol­ lows: * "As regards the cup races, we have been beaten fairly and square­ ly and I congratulate America upon having the better boat. I wish to take occasion here to express my thanks for the courteousness and kindnes shown me by the New York Yacht Club. I am especially grate-, ful for the admirable way In which the course was kept clear. “I have heard much comment for and against the Sandy Hook course. It is as good a course as any other— nay there is no other course In the world like it. "I am benginning to think, that there is, some magic spell .about that bloomin' • old cup. Two years „ ago I had almost within my grasp, but it escaped me then as it has escaped me now, and seems as far- off as ever. Herreschoff is the greatest: designer of the age, but I 'am still vbry hope­ful that-: I- will see that cup Jon the other side.“The American country is very hard to beato I. am Ja very disap­ pointed man, but stilt T have the con­ solation that, both, conquerers and conquered belong to' the same good old race. .The cup is still in the fam­ ily, only it is held by a younger and more ahead generation. “Gentlemen, while I lost the cup, I rather did not succeed in winning it. I have not lost the esteem and good will of my American friends/ which esteem and good will I reciprocate m the very highest degree possible. I am sure that as the days and years roll by these contests will not have been held in vain if they make: us realize that' wherever , we are all ..the world over we shall ‘brithers'befor a’ that *” Yorkville, S. C., Special.—Passen­ ger train No. 15, northbound, on. the South Carolina and Georgia Exten­ sion Railroad, formerly the 3Cs„ now operated by the Southern Railway, went through a trestle forty feet high over Fishing, Creek, three miles east of. here, about 11: 30 '- o’clock Thursday, killing six men and injured 24. five of whom will likely die. Three of the latter are negro passengers. The dead: Engineer H. C. Brick- man, Fireman, Fred Rhyne; Postal Clerk C. J. Smith and three unknown negroes.

C.All the bodies have been taken out, save those of the engineer and fire­ man.The train consisted of an engine and three cars.'It left Rock Hill about H o’clock, with about 40 passengers on hoard. When the train had passed out upon the trestle the entire struc­ ture under the cars gave way, hurling the engine and cars to the bank of the creek, about 50 feet below. Engineer Henry Brickman, Fireman Fred Rhyne and three negro passengers were instantly killed. Conductor Ed. Turner suffered a broken shoulder, and W. T. Slaughter, of Hickory Grove, S. C., and Julius Johnson, of Rock Hill, S. C., were perhaps fa­ tally injured. Marvin H. Morrow, of Blacksburg, S. C.; T. C. Hicks, of Lancaster, and R, A. Willis, of Edge- moor, S. C., have broken bones, while a dozen or more other passen­ gers were less seriously injured. B. F. Williford, of Charlotte, who was slightly injured, displayed rare presence of mind in helping the pas­ sengers. Of a half-dozen young men efinally lucky, he was the only one to try to assist the ladies and injured men. He told the terrified passengers in the first-class coach that the dan­ ger was over, and that he was there to see them to safety. He helped several young men out of the wreck and tried to get them to help him with others, but they selfishly went off and left him to struggle alone un­ til help came from the outside. Yorkville people went down in bug­ gies and worked for hours extricating the dead and injured from the wreck and affording all possible relief. The rotten timbers of the ancient trestle tell their own unquestionable story as to the cause of the wreck.

If God hath made of ohe blood the nations of the earth He hath also established unto them the metes and bounds of their habitation. He did not intend that antagonistic races should live together. The. preju­ dice of race is a pointing of Provi­dence and the antagonism of peoples is the fixed policy by which God peo­ ples the different portions of the uni­ verse and establishes the individ­ uality of the nations. The act that oruught tl esc people togefcter on thigs continent was a sin of the fathers, a sin of greed, an iniquity of trade— and the sorrow and suffering of the present is for the sin of the past, a sin against nature and a sin against God. The curse can be lifted only when nature is vindicated and God is obeyed.

Oyster Bay, L. I.—Henry Weilbven- ner was arrested at Sagamore Hill late at night while making a persistent de­ mand to see President Roosevelt. Tlie man was armed with a revolver, fully loaded. He was taken to the village and placed in the town prison. Shortly after 10 o'clock p. m. Weil- brenner drove to Sagamore Hill in a buggy. He was stopped by the Seeret Service operative on duty. TVeilbren- ner said he had a personal engagement Svith the President and. desired- to see him. As it was long after the hours when. visitors are received, the officer declined toperm lt Iilixi “to go to. the house. The man insisted, but the of­ ficer turned him away.' Iir a short time AYeilbrenner returned andj again insisted that lie be allowed to see the President, if only for a minkite. This time he was ordered awdy and warned hot to return. Jfist before 11 o’clock the. man re­ turned a third time and demanded of the ^officer that he should be permitted to sjee the President at once. The of­ ficers response was to take the inan from his buggy and put him in the staples, where ho was placed under the guard of two stablemen. A revolver was! found in the buggy. Litter Weilbreuner was brought to the !village and locked up. He is five fcej eight inches in height, twenty- eigljtt years old, has- a medium-sized darjc mustache, black eyes, and evi­ dently is of German descent. He re­ sides in Syosset, about five miles in- Iand from Oyster Bay. He was well drc ssed in a suit of- dark material and woj^e an old-fashioned derby hat. He is the son of a truck farmer and is one of 3hree brothers. He has two sisters. Thi*! family is respectable and is held in general esteem. Weilbrenner several years ago had a nervous attack which rendered him mentally helpless for a day or two, but his I family supposed that he had been miife restored by the medical treatment he received at that time. Since then he had manifested no symptoms of mental aberration. He had no socialis­ tic or anarchistic tendencies so far as known, never having been interested In any questions of that kind. He was employed daily on his father’s farm. Weilbrenner was arraigned before Justice Franklin on complaint of the Secret Service operatives who placed him under arrest. Weilbreuner's brother, William, was present at the examination. Justice Franklin ques­ tioned the prisoner about his- move­ ments during the night. His replies were made in a quiet tone of voice, but they indicated, apparently beyond doubt, that the man is crazy. Asked why he went to Sagamore Hill he re­ plied: “I went to see the President about his daughter Alice." “Had you an engagement with the President?"“Yes." “How was that engagement made?" “I talked with the President last night,” replied Weilbrenner. “How did you talk with him?” “Oh, I just talked.” “A sort of wireless talk, was it?" “Yes, that is it; a wireless talk.” “Why did you want to sec the Presi­ dent about Miss Alice?" “I wanted to marry her,” “Did you ever see Miss Roosevelt?” “Yes, I saw her night before last.” “Where did you see her?” “At my house.” “Did she go over there?” “Yes, she came in a red automobile.” “Who accompanied her?” “Her brother, Theodore.” ... Justice Franklin, after the examina­ tion, concluded that lie would hold. Weilbrenner until an inquiry of lun­ acy could be held upon his case. The examination then was postponed until the afternoon. When it was reopened at 3.30 o'clock Dr. George A; Stewart- and Dr. Irving Si Bames conducted the examination of the prisoner. Weilbren­ ner was declared by them to be insane. He will be placed immediately in the custody of Sheriff Johnson,'of Nassau County. His committal to a sanita­ rium will have to be made by the County Court Weilbrenner was taken to Mineola, L. I., and placed in the custody of the county authorities. GOVERNMENT GAINS CASH.' More Money In th e Treasury Than at This Time In 1903. Washington, D.

FAVORS AUTOMATIC DOLLAR Tho Secretary of the T reasury W ants One TIiat W ill R etire W hen N ot A ctually Needed—In a Speech on ’’The Business O utlook’’ Says H e AYould Give th e Na­ tional Banks M ore Scope. , Chicago.—At the Auditorium, before several hundred business men of Chi­ cago and other cities, Secretary of Treasury Shaw1 spoke on “ The Busi­ ness Outlook.” The meeting was un­ der the auspices of the Kattonal Asso­ ciation of Merchants and Travelers: Secretary Shaw spoke in part as fol­ lows: . . . . “As nearly as can be estimated,' the annual productive capacity of the American people is §11,000,000,090. This does not include duplications. This does not include raw cotton and manufactured cotton; but raw cotton and the value added thereto in the process of manufacture. “Of this we export $1,500,000,000, and import $1,000,000,000 of other mer­ chandise, mainly non-competitive with our own products. We therefore con­ sume the equivalent of ninety-five per cent, of all we produce. Not while these conditions continue will prosper­ ity cease. “We are the most prosperous people in the world, because we both produce and consume more than others. The little that we sell abroad, about ten per cent of our net production, and the little we purchase abroad, six ,or seven per cent, of our net consumption, con­ stitute no challenge to the statement that our prosperity rests with our­ selves. * “Unless our factories and workshops voluntarily close, or labor voluntarily refuses employment, or commerce vol­ untarily ceases its activity, there is no occasion for alarm. “It is true that a very respectable number of very good people, and In that number I desire to be classed, be­ lieve our financial system, good as it is, might be improved by adding an element of elasticity. I do not think there exists any great number who be­ lieve we should have any "inflation. “Eight years ago we had $21 per cap­ ita. Now we have certainly more than $29, and propably, nearly $80 per cap­ ita. Conservative business men and conservative bankers do not generally consider this an insufficient normal minimum volume of currency. I re­ peat, the only criticism now offered re­ lates to the want of elasticity. “There is now no statutory prohibi­ tion against the well-nigh inherent right of banks to issue circulating notes. This right exists throughout the United States, hut subject to a tax of ten per cent, per annum. This tax is prohibitory. “If I were given authority to formu­ late a measure that would provide the requisite elasticity to our present cur­ rency system I think I should add an amendment permitting national banks, with the consent of the Controller of the Currency, to issue a volume of cir­ culating notes equal to fifty per cent, of their bond secured circulation, at a tax of five per cent., the same to be re­ tired at will or by the direction of the Controller, by the deposit of an equal amount of lawful money with any Sub- Treasury. “Three things I know. First, this additional circulation would spring into existence almost instantly whenever and wherever interest rates advanced to the point of profit. Second, it would as promptly retire whenever interest rates became normal. Third, it would be absolutely safe—as good as the pres­ ent national bank issue and W ith a slight and immaterial change identical In form and appearance—for the Gov­ ernment, amply protected by the five per cent tax-, would underwrite it. But you say this is emergency cur­ rency. Anything more is inflation.” «562.000 IN SECURITIES CONE. Baltim ore Society Mnn W ho M anased Mis F ather’s Bstate Also M issing. Baltimore, Md,—William T. Tucker, or Willy Tucker, as he is known fa­ miliarly in society, is missing. It has also been discovered that $560,000 of his fathers estate has disappeared. Tucker, it is said, is now in Central America. With his mother, W. T. Tucker was trustee of the estate of his father, the late Wesley A. Tucker. His mother was abroad with one of her daughters when other members of the family made discoveries which resulted In a hasty cable message to Mrs. Tucker to return. The arrival of Mrs. Tncker in Baltimore ‘was followed by an investi­ gation of the contents of the safe de­ posit box in which the securities of W. A. Tucker’s estate and.also securities belonging to Mrs. Tucker were kept. Then the revelation came that there was-a defalcation, amounting to §500,- 000, .and that, of all the property given over to the care of William T. Tucker there was only $93,000 left. It appears that JRa. Tucker had absolute faith in her sou and refused to credit stories that reflected upon his conduct. W. T. Tucker is said to have been speculating heavily in stocks and was a high roller generally. The absconder is about thirty-live years old. Bomb W recks French Grocer’s Shop.

Th-. S npeiL ^itr of th e Coss County P lat­ form as Compared W ith th e One Adopt­ ed a t B es M oines—One of th e Clearest T hat Mas Been Form ulated, The platform adopted by the Cass County Republican convention might well have served as a model for the Iowa Republican State convention that was held a few days later. The Cass County men take no stock In tariff “re­ form” eccentricities. They recite their nnabated faith In protection as a pro­ moter of prosperity and of good wages to American men and women, and they object to any and all attempts to de­ stroy or weaken the protective system now in force. Reciprocity does not es­ pecially appeal to them, but they are willing to accept it so far as it can be arranged “with advantage to home in­ dustries.” An admirable qualification, truly, for there can be no reciprocity in competing products without positive disadvantage to home industries., On the subject of the tariff and the trusts the Cass County platform is one of'the best and clearest that has been formu­ lated anywhere: “We are opposed to the proposition— as sure to bring only bad results—of attempting to control such corporations and organizations or combinations, by destroying the tariff on the products or articles and things which they may produce or handle in the markets, be­ cause wo believe that to impair of de­ stroy the tariff on such would destroy the living wages of all the hundreds of thousands of laborers, wage earners, working in such employments, and would work disaster to all business and be destructive to living wages of all American laborers and workingmen In our country. And we instruct the del­ egates elected by this convention to attend as delegates to the Republican State convention of Iowa, In July, 1903, to support and vote in said convention ‘,for resolutions In harmony with the above resolutions.” It is unfortunate that a copy of this level-headed resolution did not reach Senator Allison in time to. be incorpo­ rated bodily by him into the platform submitted to and adopted by the State convention of J -Jy I. Perhaps if the Senator had seen it in time he would have been impressed with the superior­ ity of the Cass County platform as compared with the one adopted at Des Moines. CUTTING PRICES.

It takes very little to make some peo­ ple '“mad clear through.” The fact that a limited quantity—less than one per cent, of the total production—of American goods is being sold to for­ eign countries at cut prices ought not to cause anybody to lose his temper. It seems, however, to. have a highly irritating effect upon the Hartford Courant. That paper says: “This is the sort of thing to make a public spirited citizen mad clear through. It is all right for the manu­ facturer to throw dust In your eyes and say that it is necessary to get rid of the surplus, but you cannot make an intelligent American'believe it pays to sell gbbds at a loss; or that, if a sacrifice is made at any time, it is right to make it in favor of foreigners and against one’s own country. Goo^s sold at a loss abroad require that goods be sold at home at a profit sufficiently excessive tq. makq up out of us for what was given away there." The Couraut’s rage is a trifle behind time. Three years ago the Democratic campaign managers made the utmost use of the cut prices argument to de­ feat William McKinley for re-election. It was one of their warmest Issues, but it cooled off and fell fiat. The general ma&sof voters refused to get “mad clear through” because a very small part of our surplus production finds its way into foreign markets at a slightly re­ duced price. Most people—practically everybody excepting Democrats and free trader&^seem to think it better to unload our surplus on foreigners, even at a small cut In price, than to close > our mills and factories when produc-; tion exceeds domestic consumption, j Every exporting nation cuts prices when necessary in order to compete in foreign markets; every exporting na­ tion charges a higher price to its own people on some articles than the price for which it is willing to sell the same articles- to foreigners. They have to do it in order to get and hold foreign tra.de. The United States dues very much less of this price cutting7 than i* done by'Great Britain, a free trade country.

Orifinal Southern Philosopher W ASA WIDELY READ HUMORIST Belonging to the Old School of Sou­ thern Gentlemen, He Was Always In Sympathy W ith New Ideas. With the passing of Major Charles H. Smith, of Cartersville, Ga., better known to the reading public as “Bill Arp,” a notable figure of the old Southland goes out of the public gaze, and the South Is poorer because of his death. He* was & • connecting link be­ tween the periods that marked the ante-bellum .and . the pust-bellum peri­ ods of Southern history. An '‘unrecon­ structed rebel” he remained to the last. Yet his sympathies were always with the young, the progressive, the modern. He saw with clear vision the tremendous possibilities of Southern development, when others halted on on threshold of progress* afraid to ut­ ter the” talisman, “open-sesame” that promised to unlatch the matchless treasure house of the future.“Bill Arp” was a seer and a prophet. He was- more-^-he was a-philosopher. plantation phllospher, perhaps, but his was not the reasoning of the pessi­ mist who sees no good in the present. Bill Arp saw the best in the past, the present and the future. He saw evil only when abstract evil existed and then was reluctant to point it out.. His delineations of the Old South were par excellence. His excoriations of the carpet-bagger were terrific. His pictures of old Southern life were the faet that all he said was so good naiturediy said, that every Southerner felt that “Bill Arp” echoed his own thoughts and feelings. From the time that he asked “Mr. Linkhom for a leetle more time” to the present day, all have looked to him to express what they feel. At;first those letters'were written in thd Josh Billings style of spelling, but this was afterwards laid aside. - -- ORIGIN OF BILIi ARP. The non de plume “Bill Arp” was adopted in this way: When President Lincoln called for volunteers at the outbreak of the war, Mr. Smith, who was living at Rome, Ga., wrote a lu­dicrous criticism on the call. He read the article to a group of friends on the street corner, and after a hearty laugh they begged him to publish it; but he said he was not willing to have his name signed. In the crowd, attracted by the reading, was a country wag named Bill Arp, who suggested that his name be put to it. -At once the signature became popular.The Courier-Journal said of his let-. ters to Artemus Ward In 1865, that “it was the first chirp of any bird after the surrender, and*sav.e relief andrhope-to thousands of drooping hearts.” An­ other paper said: “His writings are a delightful mixture of humor and phil­ osophy. There is no cynicism in his nature, and he always pictures the brightest side of domestic life, and en­courages his readers to live up to it and enjoy it.” Bill Arp told much about himself and .his family in his letters, which he sent out for thirty years. They were “talking letters," as Coleridge would call them. “HOME WITHOUT MOTHER.” He bought a farm at Cartersville, Ga., in 1878 and there he lived and wrote until within the last few yea-rs, when he moved to town. His late home, “The Shadows,” is situated.on Erwin street,and has a large sloping lawn studded with giant oaks. His description of the condition of a home without the mother showed horn help­ less he felt without “Mrs. Arp.” He said: HlNDR EVENTSOF TH£W£EK W ASH IN GTON It was said in Washington that the President was seeking-the cause-of the apparent stagnation in the postal in­quiry.

Yet when a man once gets a taste of cir­ cus life it’s all up with him. He’s never gcod for anything else, and never wants to be. There must be a germ, bred of the sawdust, that gets into the blood. Take the canvasser, for Instance. They get §20 a month and their board, which usually con­ sists of bad„ grub and an impromptu bed in a wagon. Often they don’t take their clothes off for weeks at a time. There’s one fellow I know who pos­ sesses more than the average intelli­ gence.. He has .a trade, and ^during the winter he makes, on an average, And yet just as soon as the circus season opens he throws* up Ms job and goes out on the road with a show for §20 a month.

Are Vou a Democrat, Theman whovotes the Demo­ cratic ticket in the next Rational election, does so with his eyes open knowing that he is voting tor the return of hard times, starva­ tion and rags. And with these comes the great shut down of the many manufacturing enterprises, and with their shutting down again comes that great multitude of idle workingmeu. And when that is the case our country is again flooded -with the dirty rag­ ged tramp, beggingaud depending on charity lor an existence. And this makes a demand for those dear old soup houses again. Itis a plain thing that if a man votes tlie Democratic ticket in 1904, that he is Io nging for hard times, - star ration, rags, tramps and soup houses, for that is surely what you will get. Compare these time? with the times during dear old Grover’s two terms, and See if yon can see anything in the rub ings of the Democrats to induce you to vote with them.—Z. Rev. S. |>.

The following, according to the 1902 report of the Bureau of Fa- borand Printing, is the cost of producing and the profit on the different products raised in Davie county for the market: Cost to raise a 500 pound bale of cotton, $25.00, price sold at $45.00, profit $20.00. To raise bushel of wheat 62 cents, selling price 90 cents, profit 28 cents. Cost to raise a bushel of corn 34 cents selling price SS cents, profit 54c. Cost to raise a bushel of oats 28e selling price 49 cents, profit 21c. Cost to raise 100 pounds of tobacco 85.25 selling price $10.25, profit. $5.00. ■The above is the cost and profit on the 1902 crop. Farm prosperity is so abundant in Kansas and the Western States and labor so scarce, that daily the passenger trains are held up by the farmers and great inducements offered to the travelers to stop off and go to work.—Exchange.

Eight months ago I wao so ul that I was compelled to ho or sit down nearly all the- time. My Btomach was so weak and upset that I could keep nothing cm it and I vomited frequently. I could not urinate without great paui and I coughed so much that uiy throat and lungs were raw and sore. The doctors pro­nounced it Bnght s disease and others said it was consumption- It mattered little to me what they called it and I had no de­sire to live. Asister visited me from St. IiOujs and asked me if I had over tried W ino of Cardut- I told he? I had not and she IiOught a bottle. I behove that itsaved my life..

You do not need to be a weak, helpless sufferer. You c-an have a woman s health and do a woman sworkinlifo. Why not secure a bottle of Wme of. Cardui from your druggist to­ day? WlNEiCARlNH What The Farmers Need. What the farmers need is • not to rush together and try to organ­ ize a new association every time some monopoly becomes peculiarly oppressive. They ought to be in a permanent organzation, always at .vork, and ready at a moment’s notice to repel any attack on their rights- To be in this state of pre­ paredness would inspire a whole some dread on the part of trusts and make them very cautious about beginning new methods of ,robbery. What would you think of an army that would wait until attacked by the enemy to erect fort—an army that wait each time until the assault to begin before throwing up breast-works? Yet sneh a policy would not be more foolish than that the famers have been pursuing. They conquered the jute bagging trust so speedily and completely, simply because they were already organized aud ready for the attack. The lesson is plain.—Progressive Farmer, KAPPA DOTS.

From "Winston Joyr.isj, Editor Eick K o lu m The flag- Jant Oisregazd of important vespon- sibiliteg of their positions by so many people, which has latelycome uiider my notice has disturbed my wind a great deal. Why is it thafc sdl the world cannot see that true happiness lies in a faithful dis­ charge of ever obligation under whieh we are resting, to mankind? Ko act emanating Irom selflove can bring satisfaction. The social world would, no doubt, be greatly improved could every one be brought to a full ap­ preciation of their responsibilties. •So iuiiiiy parents Hll out the meas­ ure of life with out ever having learned the duties of theirposi^ion. Anditiieworid behoUls the evi­ dence in the lives of their children. Howofteui.as my heart been pained at sight of a beautiful young lady given overentiieiy to the pursuit of xileasiire and thoughts of her personal appearance? Such girlsiare not always entirety self ish in their nature. They have been trained from infancy to con­ sider dress and social position as the very acme of life. Oh what a terri­ ble mistake! How foolish to bring np a daughter as. a butterfly, and then eypu t her to become the true companion ot a man of brains and character! Vf here is the true wife? She should have nothing b?tter than a tailOr!s dummy. Beauty is another and dress is leas. Beauty is but the pale spark­ le of the liery fly ere he disappear down the throat of an uglv tos Heart miml and w?eful a^'comp] meats are everything. They (ire the light- ox a diamond that s; Ies from the touch of love uu the darkest clouds of adversity. Men, too are often very ignorait o( the responsibilties of miuhocjl. They are often graduated Iran i their minority with the idea tit woinaa was made for mans pleasure and, therefore, becomes his natual prey. He tias never been taugit that Iiaturei made him rugged In physical strengh and courage, tUt he might be the more able to cli-Ii - pion the cause of her iihowasko soften and beautify the rough 4y of life for him. If men had tjis principle taught them by precejt and; example from their youth i>t many would fail in the discha^e of the obligations of their manhod. Had those two young men wb suffered their geutle companions!* be torn-from them recently in suburbs of Omaha by a band t toughs fully realized therr respo sibiiitics they would probably ncr De filling honorable graves instej of slinking through life with ti brand of cowardice upon thei Uow miserable they must fel Any honorable man would pre^r death to such i life. One won think that they could ever heal whether sleeping or awake the p: eons cries of those helpless girl Great God! Tne mau who can i'4] away at such a time from tno gi who has accepted him as her escof] deserved to have the word “com aril” biauded into his foreheai man she proves that at heart, Nhe is no better than he. Every society that is organized with a view to bettering the condition of men, is responible to men to the full a mount of the claim. Churches do not always appreciate this. I have seen the leading members * of a church addicted to the pratice ot spite, envy, malice covetousness and even hatred and still be sur­ prised that sinners could ref us>e to accept the invitation of their elo­ quent revivalist to take member­ ship with them. If church mem­ bers would square themselves with the world before they com­ mence a protracted meeting great- suceess would attend the .efforts of their preacher. Church members do uot always fully understand their responsibilities, and the pas­ tor who fails to bring his flock to a realization of their separate, dut­ ies So the world fails in one of the most important features of his work. Let all understand: Man is re­ sponsible to his fellow man to the full amount of his talents. “Am I my brother’s keeper!’’ Yes. S.

Such is the pai-iful exhibit the figures submitted by Capt. Ducket the faithful Chief Clerk in the Department of Education, shows to be the situation in this State.- This embraces those between the ages of 12 and 21. Of 97,130 boys and girls reported, 17.174 cannot read and write. In the whole state, it is estimated 22,000 boys and girls cannot read and write, of which 10,692 are boys, all of whom are rapidly reaching or approach­ ing that age when to be thus un­ fortunate deprives of the right to vote. Eellow countrymen, what are yon going to do about it? Has the school term, or weeks in which the schools are taught anything to do with this matter! Can the boys and girls be better served by a change of.the period of schools? We do not wish to be told that the short term oi 4 months causes this neglect. That is noneseuse. Are those 4 months schools held at a time most convenient for attend­ ance? We note also with some surprise that the largest per centage of il­ literacy is in the comties having the largest mill population. We have been led to believe that at least fair if uot good school facili­ ties were afforded in all of the mill communities. The per centage of illiteracy stated by Capt. Duck­ ett does not sustaiu this statement Another thing suggested by .(.his statement is that because of a lack of money that this illiteracy exists Eor two years a four-mouths school has been taught in every district in the state, certainly in reach of all children above 12 years of age. There must be some other cause with a hot iron. The sacrifice of and it should be diligently sought their lives flight have saved thifor by the county and district girls. Then, why did they not authorities, make it like men? Wheu the timl Of the above number of illitera- comes for a mau to die he snouiltes, over 12,000 of them are girls. die like a man. He should be to$ honorable to iive. t have no sym pathy fora man who prizes his Iifl more than his manhood. Too im oecupied b;portaiit positions are those who are controlled by. person] al interest.

The editor of the Times says in last weeks ijsue of his paper that he writes off the mail himself and that he is particular to see that no name is omitted. STow we have this mnch-to say, all the pa pers sent to this office by the Times are delivered and we know that he often fails to send papers for all his subsciibers'for this office. The carriers often go to him for omjnit- ted papers. It seems strange that these complaints do not come to us We will certainly appreciate the calling to our attention of any er­ rors on our part, and will do our best to avoid them in the future. The four R. F. D. carriers at this office will bear us out in what we say. One week, the P, M. at Ephe­ sus reported every paper missing. We made an investigation but could never get a trace of those papers. We often send bundles of papers off from this office made up at other places and misdirected to Mocksville.- We allways recurn them if we can. We will regard it a favor for all patrons to report to us the mishandling of their mail and we assure them that ^ve will do our best to correct any errors made by us. The editor of the Times makes up his mail for the E. E. D. carriers and we weigh and pass it over to them, and it’s often the case that they go over to his office foi missing papers. These errors are made by all newspeper men, and they should be certain of what they say before they pub­ licly criticise the wrong mau.

One of them, very brief, was from United States Miuister Leishmauf and the other was from Admiral Cotton, who sent a much fuller statement. Mr. Leishman’s dispatch follows: 'tConstantinople.-A riot yesterday at Beirut. Seven Christians killed, sev- ■■ eral wounded. . Two houses Christians pillaged by soldiers.

LEISHMAN.’* Admiral Cotton’s* message was in cipher and became so badly mixed in transmission that it could not be fully translated. He says that the trouble ■was due to religious animosities, aud the failure, apparently on the part of the authorities, to prevent crimes. In Admiral Cotton’s opinion there are enough Turkish soldiers now at Bei­ rut to control the situation “if prop­ erly disposed of.”Copies of messages were telegraphed to President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay. !"Whatever action is taken by the Gov­ernment in the situation in Turkey will be by his direction. The sole purposo of the Administration In sending Amer­ ican warships to Beirut was to give better protection to American intererts. It will take no part in the political as­ pects of the situation.

Sofia, Bulgaria.—All reports from the Tilayet of Monastir agree in describing the situation as appalling. Between 30,000 and 50,000 Bulgarian inhabitants are believed to have been massacred by the Turks, and every Bulgarian vil­ lage in the valiyet has been destroyed. At present it is impossible to obtain precise figures. The revolutionary headquarters estimate that 30,000 Bul­ garian men, women and children have been killed, while at !east the same Jiumber of refugees are- slowly perish­ ing of hunger. In official circles these figures are re­ garded as an underestimate, aud olH- cials.indine to the belief that the num­ ber of the massacred exceeds 50,000. The Turks are apparently determined to exterminate the entire Bulgarian population of the valiyet The Macedonian Interior Organiza­ tion estimates that 150,000 women, chil­dren and old men are hiding in tlie for­ ests of Macedonia.

Washington, D. C.—Commander Bob-, ert E. Peary, United States Navy, has been given permission by President Roosevelt and the Navy Department to make another dash for the North Pole.,, Naval officers and scientists who have seen the famous Arctic explorer's plans tbelleve that he will sucpeed in- attaining tlie pole, and that as.a result American courage, fortitude and en­ ergy will have , conquered the last ob­ stacle Iu making the map of the world. Three years’ time is all that Com­ mander. Pearjr has asked, aud all that has beeii granted. On April I next he will leave the United States in com­ mand of an expedition yet to be or­ ganized for Cape York, in Baffin Bay, on the extreme southwestern point of Greenland, at the entrance to Kenuedy Channel. Here he proposes to take aboard his American ship the entire colony of the Whale Sound Eskimos living in that section, aud who are de­ voted heart aud soul to him, and sail through Kennedy Channel and Robe­ son Channel to the extreme northern end of Grant i~and, where, at Captf Colombia, about 400 miles from the North Pole, he will establish a perma­ nent basis for supplies and strike over­ land with men and dogs for the thus far unattainable North Pole. The long experience of Commander Peary in Arctic exploration and the ap­ parent feasibility of his present plan causes the authorities of the United States Government, and especially the President aud Actiug Secretaiy of the Navy Darling, to believe that the ex­pedition will meet with that success which none has yet ever attained. Commander Peary himself is enthusi­ astic and does r-ot liesitate to say that lie believes, as he has never believed before, that he will this time reach the North Pole and safely return. For years he has been laying the founda­ tions along the lines now decided upon. I believe that I will reach the North Pole,” Commander Peary said. “The Eskimos, upon whom I am depending largely, are my friends, and would ac­ company me even if they believed that certain death would be the result. However, we do not look for any such outcome to the trip.“After reaching Cape Colombia, in the extreme north of Grant Land, the travel will be exceedingly rough' for some distance. It is my theory that the further one gets across the ice and away from the land the smoother the ice will be, and that finally the travel will be comparatively easy. It stands to reason that the ice striking against the land on all sides of the pole causes a crush near the shore, which, as one gets further and further away from the land and nearer the pole, will disap-, pear.” Acting Secretary of the Navy Dar­ling has done much, Commander Peary says, to make it possible for him to make the undertaking. He hopes to start with his expedition about the first of April next.In his letter of application to Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling for leave of absence Commander Peary says: “I should expect, to accomplish the distance to the Pole and return in about 100 days or a little more, an av­ erage travel of about ten miles a day. Returning, I should break the ship out late in the season and return home. “If ice conditions the first year were such as .to .prevent reaching the north­ ern sliorfc of Gvant Land, I sliould win­ ter as far north as practicable, and force the ship to the desired location the following year. In this event the expedition would be gone two years.” Acting Secretary of the Navy Dar­ ling, a close student of Arctic work, says in his letter to Commander Peary granting him three years’ leave of ab- seuce from April I next, that he thinks he is better equipped than any other person in the country to undertake this work. The Peary Arctic Club, of New York, of which IiIorris Iv. Jesup is president, will finance the Peary expedition to the extent of $150,000, which is $50,000 more than the cost of the last trip which occupied four years. - ; I W A S H IN G T O N IT E M S .

C.-—Commerce be­ tween the United Siiates and its non­ contiguous territory amounted to over $100,000,000 in the fiscal .year just ended. This figure includes about §5,000,000 worth of gold bullion pro­ duced in Alaska and brought tato the United States. Even excluding this, however, and including only merchan­ dise in the calculation the total amounts to §95,51S,000. This is the first opportunity which has been offered for an accurate meas­ urement and analysis of the commerce between the United States and its jioiircoutigiious territory -since 'the an: nexation of the Hawaiian Islands and Porto Rico. As there was no law pro­ viding for the gathering of statistics from the new customs districts a spe­ cial law was enacted which applied to the case, and the result of the fiscal year’s operation is just available. The law% when enacted, was made broad enough to include-the statistics of the commerce between Alaska and the ports of the United States, as well as that of Hawaii, Porto Rico, the Phil­ ippines,‘Guam, the 'Samoan Islands, etc. The result is indicated by the Department of Commerce and Labor, through its Bureau of Statistics, :is follows: Shipments from the United State to its non-eontigu- ous territory, 1003 .............§30,722,911 Receipts of merchandise from non-contiguous ter­ ritory, *1903 ...................... SSsSOl,717 Gold bullion received from Alaska (domestic produc­ tion) ................................... 4,719,579 All the®hands Employed in these. INDUSTRIES ARE ORDERED OUT ON “sympathy sJ ^ . BEHAU5- ^europ ^ p o R , “W ; f f f Total ................-...............$100,337,237 While these annual figures are the first of any official, nature which the country has bad of the commerce with Porto Rico and the Hawaiian Islands since their annexation, it. is practicable to compare these with the figures of the commerce with these islands in any year prior to annexa­ tion, because of the fact that com­ merce* with them was always meas­ ured and reported when they were foreign territory. This is true also with the Philippines. In regard* to Alaska no accurate statistics.! of the commerce were gathered prior to the last year, but estimates were made for former years, which give a fair basis for comparison. It is practicable, then, to compare the commerce of 1903 with that of 1893, for all of ^this terri- tory which now has become a part of the United States.

Berlin, Germany.—In Homburg and its vicinity 200 persons are suffering from trichinosis. Trichinosis is a flesh-worn disease, due to a morbid condition, produced by the indigestion of food containing “trichina spirabis” in large quantity. Most of the recorded epidemics in this disease have occurred, in Germany. This is attributed to the fact that many Germans eat then* me^t raw or only partially cooked. The most serious outbreak of the disease, so far known, occurred in Hettstadt, in 1S83, during which 15S persons were affect­ ed, of whom twenty-eight died. A slight outbreak occurred in this city in 1SG4. Homburg is a town of Prussia, in Hesse-Nassau, and is nine miles from Frankfort-on-the-Main. - It has a population of about S300 persons.

For I ie past half century have these fig- i 'es been given out quite in detail, Dd there is no one but the most'hope- ss pessimist who will not acknowl- Ige that such information is not only istructive but almost invaluable. If, ien, such figures are worth while to illect and print once a year, as Is >ne in the “Statistical Abstract,” or ice a month, as is done in the “Sum- ary of Commerce and Finance,” then irely a weekly or even o daily gath- ing of similar figures must be both Ltcresting and of value to all those incerhed. As regards the "promotion of the I gh tariff propaganda,” the honest i;ures of the country’s industrial ad- nce during the last five years must nd to that very end. Mr. Austin I es not manufacture his figures or s facts; he simply compiles and ports them, as he finds them on the Bcial or authoritative records. As e Republican says: “These figures e spread out in specially prepared rtlcles and mailed to the press for lblication on a specified day.” This true, and (a large portion of the ress of the country feel deeply in- :bted to Mr. Austin and his associates ir this w.oi'k. The busy editor has either. the means nor the time to illect these figures and present them his readers as he would lilce to. lie Bureau of Statistics is intended r the very purpose, and the result I its work is the property of the iblie. The disloyal papers which do it want to publish anything reflect- g credit upon their country will ave them alone; the papers who are oud of their country’s record in in- iistry as well as w ar publish them, r a part of them, as they see fit. Evidently the Bepublican man is mad Iear through because the country did iot go to the demnition bow wows luring the late decline in stocks. He io doubt had his famous editorial, “I old you so,” all ready, and being left iigh and dry by a flurry instead of a ianic, he, of course, must get even iomewhere, and so he goes for Mr, Lustin and the “high tariff propa- ;anda.” A newspaper that finds fault vith the publications of honest facts md figures calling attention to the ii-ogress of the country, either in its Weign or domestic trade, no matter rom what sources or for what pur- iose the figures emanate and are pro- nulgated, is not to be appeased by inythlng short of absolute free trade rndjhe mqsj; panicky of panics that ould possibly Tottow.

It Is In a Turkestan-Cave, and Would Hold Thousands. In Turkesta*?, on the right bank of the Amou Daria, in a chain of rocky hills near the Bokharan town of Karki and a number of large caves which, upon examination some time ago, were found to lead to an underground city, built apparently long before the Chris* tian era. Accordins to effigies, inscriptions and designs upon the gold and silver money unearthed from among the ruins, the existence of the town dates back to some two centuries before the birth of Christ. The underground Bokharan city is composed of an enormous labyrinth oi corridors, streets and squares, sur­ rounded by houses-and other buildings two or three stories high. The. edf*y fices contain all kinds of j^mestic' utensils, pots, Umsk vases ‘ and^ so’ forth..- • In some o|U the sti^W jVvfalls^s'f earth'^ind rock have obstructe<^§be passages* but generally:the visitor can walk abolit^ff-eely '^th o u t so much as;- lowering his head. The . high degree of civilization at­ tained by the inhabitants of the city is shown by the fact, that they built in several stories, by the symmetry of the streets and squares and by the beauty> ofr the baked clay and metal utensils, and of the ornaments and coins which have been found. It is supposed tnat Jong centuries ago this city,'so carefully concealed in the bowels of the earth, provided an entire population with a refuge from the incursions of nomadic savages and robbers.

They went over all the parts of both roads which are in North Carolina, and observed very closely their physical condition. Their purpose was to ascertain the causes of accidents. They will in a. few days prepare a very complete report, which they will submit to Governor Aycock. They find that the Southern Railway is doing a very sensible thing on the Asheville & Spartanburg road in building, what is known as ‘‘run­away tracks” on the Saluda grade, at the two points where the fatal acci­dents have occurred because of runa­ way trains down that very steep in­cline. Each of these tracks will be 2,- 000 yards in length, and they will give aa up-grade of 25 or 30 feet. Each will have an open switch, at which will be a switahman,. and the latter will be sig­naled by traiffirto close the switch so the train can take the main line. If the train is “wild” it will, of course, take the switch and thus save itself by running up the steep incline. It is the opinion of the commissioners that this is the best plan, and that it will obviate the danger. The rail on this road is heavy, being SO pounds to the yard. It appears that there have been1 about a dozen accidents, of which the two which occurred quite recently are the worst in character, once causing several deaths. The commissioners find that there are many trestles on the Georgia & South Carolina Extension, in fact a very great number of these The track and I1Oadbed are found to be in fairly good condition, and improve­ments are progressing on these as well as on the trestles. As yet the work o£ fiiling-in the trestles has not begun. On the part of this road in North Caro­lina there has been only one accident of any moment, and in this there was no loss of life. This accident was due to the breaking in of a bridge, near Cleveland- The commissioners were closely questioned, these being Super­ intendent of Bridges Liras, Division Superintendent Ramseur, and Henry W. Miller, secretary to Vice President Andrews. EXPRESS AGENT SHOT. State News.

Wilmington, SpeciaL-Two well- dressed and apparently intelligent ne­ gro men who came down this week on the Southern Railway excursion from Mount Airy, Greensboro and other points, walked up to the desk at the Bonitz Hotel night before last and told the clerk they wanted a light lunch and lodging. Proprietor J. H. W. Bonitz heard the request and ap­ proaching the desk ordered the ne­ groes to leave. One of them wanted to argue the point on the plea of be­ing a public hotel, etc., but the threat­ ening demeanor of the proprietor caus­ ed them to beat a hasty retreat through the front door, by which they had entered.

Trugedy ot a Man Supposed to Be .. Crazv at Jacksonville. Jacksonville, Special.—J. E. — Stark shot and fatally wounded John F. An­ gel Thursday afternoon in the office of ■the Southern ,Express Company, in this city, while the latter was protect­ ing the life of his sister, the wife of the man who fired the shot. Stark had been in Jacksonville sev­ eral days and Thursday morning wired for his wife to join him. She came at about noon and at 2 o’clock they met In the office of the express company, where her brother was employed. The wife suspected that her husband meant to do her bodily injury when he endeavored to get her to go to his hotel. She desired to remain near her brother and declined to go. - “I have brought you- here to kill you!” Stark said. Quick as a flash his wife. seized him, as he was endeavoring to draw a pistol. She pinioned his arms and her cries brought her broth-, er. The pistol was then taken from Stark before it was drawn. Words between the two men followed and blows were exchanged. Stark went to a pawn shop, where he procured an­ other pistol and returned; He entered the office and walked to the cage where Angel was at work with his back turned. Resting the pistol in one Cf the small steel holes of the cage he fired, the ball striking AngeI in the back of the head and lodging near the brain. Angel fell. Stark looked about him and started to leave, when a brother of Angel appeared and seized him. The brother made an ef­ fort to kill Stark with a knife, but oth­ ers interfered, and the police placed Stark under arrest. Angel is at St. Luke’s Hospital. No hopes are enter­ tained for his recovery. The defense that Stark’s lawyers will make is that he was insane, a theory which is generally accepted by those who know him and who have been with him during the past few days. Stark was formerly auditor of the Jacksonville, Tampa & Key West road. Angel was cashier of the Southern Express Company. Annunl Pension Report'. Washington, Special.—The annual report of Commissioner Ware places the number of pensioners now on the rolls at 990,454, of which 729,356 are soldiers, and 267,189 are widow and dependents. Mr. Ware announces that it is not probable that the pension roll will again cross the million line, the highwater mark having been reached a year ago. The roll shows a net lass of 2,901 pensioners during the year. Out of a total of 304,809 applications on hand during the year, 130,109 were admitted, and 113,794 rejected. 4Hie average annual value of each pension is now $133. The annual value of Gxq Spanish war pension roll has reached $1,765,310. The total payments in pensions for all wars is $3,038,623,- 590; on account of the civil war, $2,- 862,240,400. The cost of the pension SjrBtem per capita of population for 1905 is given as $1.75. The system, according to Commissioner Ware, was about the greatest as a burden to the people of the United States in 1893, since which time it has shrunk from $2.24 to $1.32 per $1,000 of taxable wealth, and in ten years, he says, the burden will cease to be noticed! Hiss Roosevelt in Snbmarrne Boat. Newport, R. I., Special.—Miss Alice Roosevelt, daughter of the President, went down in the submarine boat Moc­ casin. The boat did not leave her dock at the Torpedo station. Miss Roosevelt enetered the boat with Capt. Fletcher, of the station. The crew then closed the hatches and water ballast was taken in until the vessel settled to the bottom. After being submerged for a few minutes, that the novelty of the situation might be appreciated, she rose to the surface and disembarked. The water was quite shallow where the boat went down. Powers risk<2 Ormaud Washington, Special. — Minister Leishman cabled the btate Depart­ ment from Constantinople that the French ambassador has demanded the removal C f the Governor of Beirut and that other forign representatives prob­ ably will do the same.

Medical men are discussing a lecture by Professor" Pfluger, of the Univer­ sity of Bonn, on longevity, In which he asserts that the average length of human life is steadily increasing, says the lndiiica' Medical 'Journal:-* He- maiu tains that one-third of all the deaths registered in Munich are due to heart disease, trough on by the im­ moderate use of beer, and that tobac­ co also claims a large pencentage of the victims. Among forty centenari­ ans who have come under his notice there was only one smoker, while nearly all professed to a moderate use •*)f alcohol. What Professor Pfiuger most seriously warns people against is the thought and fear of death. The mind must be occupied, he says, in order to secure longevity. Hard-work­ ing. men who retire .rarely live much longer. * The German census statistics show that in 1871. the centenarians num­ bered.147 men and 287 women, but in 1900 only five men and thirty women. The above press report is of interest As is well known in Munich the con­ sumption of beer per capita is greater than elsewhere In the world and the percentage of. heart disease is higher. 3 eer has a worse influence on the heart than either-wine or - whisky.. Tobacco is better borne by adults and the aged than by youth. No child should be allowed to smoke before the age of twenty-one. Wine has been said to be the milk of old age; kt should not be used until past the noon of life. That the German census shows a reduction of old men since the war with France is natural. The age of industrialism, of city life, of strain, of alcohol and of the veneral diseases with increase of tabes dorsalis and general paresis is the present age of Germany as it is of the United States. Only the sedate and the temperate in all things can expect length of days. GRATEFUL, HAPPY WOMEN S a d iliiii "At a recent teacb^sfs’ meeting,” said a visitor who just “happened in,” “one of the speakers made the statement that the male teachers of New York City public schools were all spepialists of exceptional ability; that they were just such men as one finds outside of the city in the posi­ tions of superintendents and princi­ pals of high schools. This statement seemed to *me to be worthy of veri­ fication by something more reliable than the words of an enthusiastic par­ tisan, so I set to work making inqui­ ries about those male teachers in the school nearest my home. The follow­ ing are the data given me by the prin­ cipal of this school, which, I -am told, is by no means more favored in the way of appointments than the others in the system: ‘Out of ten male teachers all but three could boast, if they desired to do so, the possession of a Bachelor’s degree. Two of the seven are masters, with some work done toward a Pb. D., and nearly all are doing some post-graduate work either at Columbia or at the State University. The thTee spoken of are ex-high school principals from up­ state cities.* My respect for the New York City school teacher has been wonderfully increased.”—New York Times. According'to the Chicago law direc­ tory for 1903, just issued, there are 4,702 attorneys in the city. In the last last year 120 attorneys left the city, 20 ceased the practice of law and 32 died. The increase In the number of lawyers was 320. There are about twelve hundred law offices in Chicago, an average of one suits of offices to every four attorneys. Teachers Cet a T ear Ofi. Successful teachers . of Chicago schools who wish to continue their studies in colleges, universities, etc., now may bo granted leave of absence for the period of one year, under the authority of the superintendent of the schools.—New York Commercial Ad­ vertiser.

Thank Pe-ru-na for Their Recovery After Years of Suffering. Miss Muriel Armttage, 36 Greenwood Ave., Detroit, Mich., District Organizer of the Royal Templars of Temperance, in a recent letter, says: "I think that a woman naturally shrinks from making her troubles pub* lie, but restored health has meant sc much to me that I feel_ for the sake ol other suffering women it is my duty to tell -what Peruna has done for me. mI suffered for five years with uterine irregularities, which brought on hysteria and made roe a physical wreck. I tried doctors from the different SchoolSi ot medicine, but without, any perceptible ehange in my condition. Li mydespair I called on an old nurse, wuo advised Peruua, t * ‘ 'would peiIcCrlyl I thought __ —couid do, asa orocured a bottle. I knew as soon as .I began taking it tnat it was affecting me differently from anything I had used before, and so I kept on tak­ ing it. I kept this up for six months, ana steadily rained strength and health, and when I nad used fifteen bottles I considered myself entirely cured. I am a grateful, happy woman to-day/'—Miss Muxiel Armitage. . Peruna cures catarrh of the pelvic or­gans with the same surety as it cures catarrh of the head. Peruna has be­ come renowned as a positive cure for female ailments, simply because the ail­ments are mostly due to catarrh. Ca­tarrh is the cause of the trouble. Pe- runa cures the catarrh. The symptoms disappear. Female Weakness is Pelvic Catarrh. A*wavs Half Sick Are the Women Who Have Pelvic Catarrh. Catarrh of any organ, if allowed to pro­gress, will affect the whole body. Catarrh without nervousness is very rare, but pel­vic catarrh and nervousness go hand in hand.W hat is so distressing a sight as a poor, half-sick, nervous woman, suffering from the many almost unbearable symptoms of pelvic catarrh? She does not consider her­ self ill enough to go to bed, but she is far from being able to do her work without the greatest exhaustion. This is a very common sight, and is almost always due to pelvic catarrh.It is worse tnan foolish for so many women to suffer year after vear with a dis­ease that can be permanently cured.Penma cures catarrh permanently/ It cures old chronic cases as well as a slight attack, the only difference being in the length of time that it should be taken to effect a cure.If. you do not derive prompt and satisfac* tory results from the use of Perana. write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full state­ ment of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.

The most infallible signs of pros­ perity are the enormous increase in postal receipts, the more than enormous increase in saving banks deposits, and the absurdly enor­ mous number of strikes throughout the country. The people only can indulge in these things when pros­ perous, aud the fact that they are doing so to a greater extent, than ever before establishes the high degree of their general prosperity. —Baleigh Post- And yet the Post and other Democratic papers are trying to persuade the people to change.

Acondition anil, not a theory now confronts the tobacco farmers —a condition that is largely due to the lack of intelligent organzation and Go-cpcralion. Wa had as well look the situation squarely in the face and govern ourselves accord­ ingly. It is well known that the American and Imperial Tobacco, Companies, alter they pooled in tercsts last fail, gave the farmers a foretaste of what they might ex­ pect Iiiis season in the way of low prices,' which caused tobacco meu generally to advise planting a small crop for 1803. nad Uiere been active organiza fcion and Co operation among the farmers at that t ime and a full and free discussion of the situation and pending danger, the tobacco crop for this year would, in all proba­ bility, Iqive been even small than it uow is, and provision could have been made to thwart the pur­ poses of the combine to get tobacco for Jess than the cost of production. As it was, some heeded the warn­ ing and reduced acreage while oth­ ers did not, Those who did not are the ones who are now suffer­ ing most from the demoralized con­ ditions of the market, Anil yet these need not feel dis­ couraged beyouil endurance. They need only to look back at the days of the jute bagging trust and re­ member what unity of purpose ami acticii did then. The same unity of action on the part of f a r m e r s now toward the iabaeco trust would accomplish id for them re- saltseqnal to those accomplished then; Deteriniuation not to f ell at a sacrifice, backed up by concert of action wilt make them victors in their light’ for better prices. However the fanners now seem to be determined to come together in organizationj the spirit is abroad in the land. It;is gratifying to those who stood by the Alliance in its ad ver­ sify as well as in its prosperity, ever faithful and true to its Devia­ tion of purposes, to feel that the fruition of their hopes is so uear at baud—that the fnrmeis of the Stare arc again to .bekint together by fraternal obligations. ----------, have been kept burning on Ihe r alter, and a light in the window awaiting their return. When the farmers have again assembled iu the Alliance halls, and rededieated themselves to its work, may thero be no looking backward, but only' a determination to push upward and fowanl until they shall stand in the front ranks of American citizenship. IfiheOrderhasmade mistakes heretofore, it has pr.ifit- Cd by the in, and their injurious effects have put it on guard against repeating them. The Allianco is not the porcur pine bristling only with thorns, of­ fensive and defensive, that many suppose it to be, It is not a rigid,- fixed, inflexible institution; but it is pliable and will be just what the membership makes it. It ft-mds for much; its purposes are noble and iiiamirint?: its mission a great, gran (I end gc-cu tee. While the Alliance should ever be reauy ,to rpsist tne attack of tne oppressor, it also cultivates the virtnres lean­ ing to good and progressive citizeu ship, encouraging its members to higher ideals and better methods in' whatever thev unilertaitc. It stands for better schools. Deiter roads, better Juteraturctind every­ thing that makes country life pur­ er: hap-oier. and more attractive. It,wants me farmers to know their business, to study it from a busi­ ness-like standpoint-, that they m.iy culuvaet. buy and Se I to the vorv best advantage. These things can be accomplished only through co-operation:-hencetuo advantages of-the Alliance should appeal to the thinking farmers »f the State. Its doors are wide open to all good people who are eligible to.member­ ship therein and to sueh it extends a-hearty welcome and helping hand. . This truly is a day of organiza­ tion and the'favmers. should not be an exception t j the rule, thereby leaviug themselves exposed to the lender: mercies - ft) - of organized reed L Theprest- t eenre to be w aus­ picious time for organzation; the people are ready. Wherever there is an organized Alliance let its members bestir themselves and get their neighbors to come in and be one with them. Where there is no Aliiancelet the neighbors come together in mass-meeting and re­ organize one. I trust some pro­ gressive farmer in each neighbor­ hood will take the matter in hand and push the work to completion. The writer will gladly send any information at his command to any one interested. Do Dot delay', but take up the work at once. For father information, address, T. B. PARKHE, Se?. Raleigh, >7. 0. TJaral Free Delivery ISules. The post office department makes the following rules- govern­ ing boxes and carriers on rural routes: Each box must be erected by the roadside, so that the carrier can easily obtain access to it without dismounting from his ve­ hicle. Thesamo box must not be used for more than one*, family, except in the case ot near relatives or those residing in the same house. “Persons neglecting or refusing to oomply with these conditions will be-regarded as not desiring rural Iree delivery', and the rural carrier will liediracted not to serve them. “Knral carriers are not required to deliver mail to houses standing back from the main road, except in the eases of registered mail, special delivery, and pension let­ ters. . “A rural carrier is under the general control of the postmaster ro:n whose office the service starts and it is the postmaster’s duty tu report (o the Departmen.1: any de­ linquency on the part of the car­ rier, and to require him to strictly fol Oiv the rules and official instruc­ tions as laid down by the Depart­ ment from time to time. “Carriers are absolutely for­ bidden to deviate from their rout­ es as described in the official orders establishing the service without direct authority therefor from the The lires i Department. The ISest Place. | In the meantime it remains a i fact that the Country is the best j place in the world for the man; who is compelled to labor with his hands. The slightly better. wages paid in the factories may fora time allure him so that ho may be willing to timijhis'baek upon the farm; but let a!few yeare go by, bringing the djay when lie can no longer work jn the shops as he once did and awakening him to the startling fact that he has saved little or nothing for the raiuy day, and it is inevitable that he should east his eyes back to the country with intense longing, and the re­ gret that he did not stay where he could gain a home of his own aud beamari among- meu.—Farm Jour­ nal. W p have seen the facts so terse­ ly' stated exemplified right here in Mocksvillc. It’s a mistake for an able bodied man with a family of boys to move to town and -work at 30, 48 and GO cents per day. You have house rent to pay', wood to buy', town taxes to pay aud many other little things you don’t- flunk of until j'ou have tried it* AU the fresh vegetables y-on make in the country you have to buy in town. Stay on the farm, and breathe the fresh air, drink the pure water and lead the happiest life m the world. H A R P E R , C I l A S S O F ’4 6 What Credit is Based cn. Many young men, beginning a business career for themselves, m ike the mistake cfsnpposingthai financial credit is based wholly up­ on property capital. They do not understand that character and re­ liability, combined with aptitude for one’s business, and a disposi­ tion to work hard, are far more important asso's to have than millions of dollars. The young fellow who begins by sweeping out the store, and who finally becomes acleik. manager, or snperinfen- de'ot by his energy and reliability of character, does not usually find it ‘difficult to seen re credit to sfarte In business for himself. On the other hand, jobbing houses are not inclined to advasee credit to the man who, though he may have inherited a fortune, has shown no capacity l’or business, and is of a doubtful character. The voting meu who start for themselves, on a small scale, are more energetic, work harder, are more alert, are quicker to appre­ ciate the chances oi Uie market, and are more polite and willing tuau tnose witli large capital. The credit mep in jobbing hous­ es are very quick, as a rule, to see the snccess-qnauties m prospec­ tive buyers, and seldom make a mistake in their estimate ot what credit it is safe to extend.—0 . ri Marden. in May ssnccess.

Salisbury, Special.—A homicide; with peculiar tragic circumstances occurred at 7 o’clock Thursday morning at Mt XJlla, a station in Rowan county on the Mooresville-Winston Railroad, about seven miles from Mooresville and 16 milesv through the country from Salisbury, Russell Sherrill, a young man of prominent family, being shot and killed by Thomas J. and Chalmers Ii. White, of Concord, in an alternation growing out of the seduction by Sher­ rill of Miss Annie White, the orphan niece of the two slayers. AU those in­ volved in the affair are of prominent family and of high personal standing. ImnSediately after the shooting the White brothers set out for Salisbury, driving at high speed, with the inten­ tion of surrendering themselves to the sheriff. County Commissioner Joseph Hall and several other citizens of the vicinity started out in pursuit, but learning the purpose of the brothers on coming within signaling distance, they accompanied them to the end of their journey. Senator Lee S. Overman, Congressman Theo. F. Kluttz and Judge W. J. Montgomery were retained as counsel, Judge Montgomery arriv­ ing from Concord by the 11:26 train in response to a telegram. After consul­ tation with their attorneys, the Messrs. .White expressed their willingness to go to jail without a commitment. While showing the concern natural to quiet citizens finding themselves for the first time in collision with the law, they gave no indications of a sense of guilt and boldly declared therjiselves abundantly justified in what they had done. In the Superior Court this af-* ternoon their counsel gave notice of a motion to set a date for a hearing on the question of bail. Judge Brown stated that he would notify Solicitor W. C. Hammer, whose home is at Ashe- boro, and after his arrival, which is expected, appointed the date {or the hearing. IThe following statement was made ceived a letter from Mrs. Samuel Archer, whose first husband was their brother, James White, the father of the young lady in the case, the letter read­ ing, Annie is ruined. My GodI What shall I do? Please come at once." These gentlemen, being the uncles and near­ est male protectors of Miss !White, their dead brother’s daughter, hired a team in Concord and drove to the home of Mrs. Archer, where they spent the night. They found Mrs. Archer and Miss White in great distress. This morning, shortly after 6 o’clock, they went to the home of Mr. Sherrill, who had seduced their niece under promise of marriage, and afterwards refused to marry her, and conversed with him on 'the porch. They asked him to keep his promise of marriage and he answered that he would die first. They still in­ sisted that he marry her, and he started towards Mr. Chalmers White in a threatening attitude. Both the broth­ers retreated to the end of the porch - and told him to sit down and reason about the matter; that all they asked was that he marry Miss White. Sher­ rill continued to advance in striking attitude and both the brothers fired." North State Notes. Charges have been filed with the Postoffice Department against Post­ master J. D. Massey, of Smithfield, and an inspector has been sent to make an investigation. Gross immoral conduct is the charge made against the post­ master. Representative Pou has taken the matter up, and has asked for the removal of Massey for the good of the postal service. The charged were filed by citizens of Smithfield,5 though the names of those preferring -them could not be learned at the Pbstoffice Department.

Sharpsbiirg, Md., Special.—Under lowering skies, the magnificent monu­ ment erected on the historic battle­ field of Antietam by the grateful State of New Jersey to its men who fell in the great engagement, was dedicated Thursday. The occasion was ren­ dered particularly notable by the par­ ticipation in the ceremonies of the President of the United States and of Governor Murphy, the Chief Execu­ tive of the State which was honoring its heroes. The monument is in the form of an ornate Corinthian column of granite, 40 feet high, surmounted by a heroic figure in bronze of an officer with up­ raised sword leading his men in a charge. Governor Murphy, of New Jersey, accepted the monument in an address.President Roosevelt, as he arose to accept the monument on behalf of the Federal government, was accorded an ovation. He spoke in part as follows: Governor Murphy; and you. Veterans of New Jersey; and you, men of the Grand Army, and all others here. I greet you:I thank you of New Jersey for the monument to the troops of New Jer­ sey who fought at Antictani-, and on behalf of the nation I accept the gift. We" meefupon one of the great battle­ fields of the civil war. No other bat­ tle of the civil war lasting but one day shows as great a percentage of loss as that which occurred here upon the day on which Antietam was fought. Moreover, in its ultimate ef­ fects this battle was of momentous and even decisive importance, for when it had ended and Lee had retreated south of the Potomac, Lin­ coln forthwith published that immor­ tal paper, the preliminary" declara­ tion of emancipation; the paper which decided that the civil war, be­ sides being a war for the preserva­ tion of the Union, should be a war for the emancipation of the slave, so that from that time onward the cause of Union and of freedom, of national greatness and individual liberty, were one and the same.Men of New Jersey, I congratulate your State because she has the right to claim her full share In the honor and glory of that memorable day; and I congratulate you, Governor Mur­ phy, because on that day you had the high good fortune to serve as a lad with credit and honor in one of the five regiments which your State sent to the battle. Four of those regi­ ments, by the way, served in the di­ vision commanded by that gallant sol­ dier, Henry W. Slocum, whom we of New York can claim as our own. The other regiment, that in which Gover­ nor Murphy served, although practi­cally an .entirely new regiment, did work as good as that of any veteran organization upon the field, and suf­ fered a proportionate loss. This regi­ ment was at one time ordered to the support of a division commanded by another New York soldier, the gallant General Greene, whose son himself served as a major-general in the-war with Spain and who is now as police commissioner of New York, rendering as signal service in pivil life as he had already rendered in military life. If. the issue of Antietam had been other than it was, it is probable that at least two great European powers would have recognized the indepen­ dence of the Confederacy; so that you who fought here forty-one years ago have the profound satisfaction of feel­ ing that you played well your part in one of those crises big with the fate of all mankind. You men of the Grand Army by your victory not only ren­ dered all Americans your debtors for- evermore, but you rendered all hu­ manity your debtors. If the Union had been dissolved, if the great edifice built with blood and sweat and tears by mighty Washington and his com­ peers had gone down in wreck and ruin, the result would have been an incalculable calamity, not only for our people—and most of all for those who, in such event would have seem­ ingly triumphed—but for all mankind. The great American republic- would have become a memory of derision; and the failure of the experiment of self-government by a great people on a great scale would have delighted the heart of every foe of republican institutions. Our country, now so great and so wonderful, would have been split into little jangling rival nationalities, each with a history both bloody and contemptible. It was be­ cause you, the men who wear the but­ ton of the Grand Army, triumphed in those dark years that every American now holds Kis head high, proud in the knowledge that he belongs to a na­ tion whose' glorious past and great present will be succeeded by an even mightier fnture; whereas had you failed we would all of us. North and South. East and West, be now treated by other nations at the best with con­ temptuous-tolerance; at the worst with ,overbearing insolence. The president then argued that the need of the world’s liberty and pro­ gress demanded that the federal armies should win the fight. He spoke of the great gallantry of hoth armies. His -audience listened with good at­ tention although a drenching rain was falling. W ashouts and Wrecks.

George Vaux, Jr., one of the prison in­ spectors, summoned newspaper men to his home and voluntarily made this statement: ‘‘Dr. W. D. Robinson and George Vaux, Jr., who are at present the vis­ iting inspectors on duty at the Eastern State Penitentiary, made the state­ ment that it has come to their official knowledge that within a short time an attempt has been made by certain convicts now confined in the peniten­ tiary to manufacture counterfeit silver coins.” ‘But a few pieces were made, and a number of these have come into the possession of the inspectors, together with metals and dies used, the attempt thus being nipped in the bud. Tlie evi. denee in the case is not yet complete, but all that has been secured has been submitted to the United States author­ities.” Mr. Vaux refused absolutely to give any more details. From other sources, however, it was learned that dimes, quarters and half dollars were the coins1 manufactured. United States Secret Service detectives were at once called in. Their investigation is still In progress to learn whether there was collusion between the convicts and employes of the institution. , LOTS OF DEER THIS FALL," T he y W in te re d W e ll In M a in e and H ave T h riv e d Since. Bangor, Me.—No frosts have fallen as yet to kill off the swarms of gnats in the woods, but the cool evenings of the last few weeks have diminished the energy of the insects, and the deer which have haunted the waterways during the summer are beginning to come out into the clearings to nibble at the second crop of clover. Reports from all parts of Eastern Maine are to the effect that deer have been seen In pahs and in herds, often showing them­ selves in places where no deer have come for years. A great majority of the deer, how­ ever, are yet in the deep woods, along the streams and by the lakes, and those that: have been seen are no more than a quarter of the number actually ex­ isting. It is plain from nil accounts that) there are more deer in Maine at thisj time than a year ago. Lumber­ men say that the animals wintered welj, and came into the spring in good condition. The dry weather from April I tq June I helped the fawns to gain strength, and later on the feed became excellent. Accordingly the prospect for good hunting this fall is very good.

Sim­ mons, was murdered on his plantation a few miles from Polloeksville, Jones County. He had been missing. Sena­ tor Simmons, who was in Raleigh, and Senator Simmons’ son James, who is a merchant in Newbern, were informed and both went promptly to the old homestead to assist in the search. The body was found near the river. Mr. Simmons had been shot several times with a shotgun. Bruises about the head indicate that he was clubbed also. Mr. Simmons was a quiet, inoffensive man about seventy-five years old, and generally esteemed. The cause of the murder is unknown. A negro has been arrested as the assassin. ROBBERS STAND OFF A TOWN.

Th robbery was planned carefully and the streets picketed by the outlaws •before the attack on the bank was be- gup. The citizens were first aroused the sound of several rapid explo- os as the cracksmen started their by S io i as: ault on the safe. When they started- to m<their doorways, however, 'they were t by a hailstorm of bullets. !•even or eight men were concerned In the robbery. After then" departure sojjue time elapsed before a posse could be organized, and it was morning be­ fore the pursuit began.

New York City.—In the worst storm which has visited New York since Au­ gust, 1889, shores about New York were strewn with wreckage, in the city itself several church steeples were lev­ eled with the roofs, windows innumer­ able broken in, signs twisted off and further damage done which may reach millions. The wind registered sixty-seven miles an horn- on the- Central Park Ar­ senal aremometer. It apparently had no connection with the Florida hurri­ cane, but struck the Jersey coast first. The steamboat S. E. Spring, a 200- foot sidewheeler, was driven on the rocks near New Rochelle and beaten to pieces. The steam yacht Fulconis slipped her anchor off the Larchmont Club house and was driven on Um­ brella Point. At City Island $1W,000 damage was done to yachts alone. The yacht Columbia was saved only by tak. ing the schooner yacht Hildergrade out into the basin and scuttling her in twenty' feet of water. The sloop Polly, and the schooner Aoulia were driven on the rocks. The City Island police boat was driven on Flynn’s Beach. Seventeen yachts were wrecked about the island. The pilot boat Hermit dragged her anchors off Stapleton and crashed down into the wharf of the Staten Island Yacht Club. She was badly damaged. More than a score of small boats were reported wrecked on Staten Island. The tug Jainc-s Key was blown ashore on a Hell Gate reef known as Hog’s Back. The damage was great all along the Coney Island shore. The old iron pier began to break up early in the after­ noon, and soon the giant breakers had torn away 200 feet. The entire roof of the pier was blown off. The tide rose to a great height, rolling in over Surf avenue. The foundations of the Edge- mere Hotel were undermined by the water and the wind tumbled it over on its side. At Roekaway Beach the Central Ho­ tel and pavilion and the big merry-go- round were wrecked. The roof of the Manhattan Flats, at Eighty-sixth street and Second avenue, was blown off. The spire of St. Bar­ tholomew’s Church, at Forty-fourth street and Madison avenue, was loos­ ened and threatened to fall into the street. Police reserves kept every one out of danger. Part of one Brooklyn church steeple was blown down. Another steeple was weakened and residents of the neigh­ borhood have been made to move out by the police. The steeple of the Church of the Holy Apostles, Twenty-eighth street and Ninth avenue, was stripped of its sheathing. A section about fifteen feet wide and seventy feet, long was carried across the street, narrowly missing a Ninth Avenue L train. In IVall Street nearly all the private wives running from the stock brokers’ offices to Chicago and Philadelphia, were blown down. The death record of the storm was remarkably small. In addition to the reports of death in shipwreck, there was but one death due to the storm in Greater New York and two in the New Jersey area visited. P R E S ID E N T IN T H E G A LE . T a d it S y Ip li H a d a H a rd T im e in th e Lo n g Is la n d Sound. New York City.—President Roose­ velt had an exciting day, full of peril and adventure, a day to bring terror to the hearts of most men. but the Presi­ dent appeared to enjoy it. He left Oys­ ter Bay at 9 o’clock a. m. on the Gov­ ernment yacht Sylph, and was hardly into the Sound before the first part of the hurricane struck her. The captain ordered everybody on board, President Roosevelt included, to go below. The wind was blowing seventy miles an hour, and the wares and spray dashed over the Sylph. At times the yacht was In imminent danger, but as the re­ sult of sldlful navigating the SyIph was steered into the shelter of the Naiy Yard, and remained until 2 o’clock, when, the wind having abated, the President was taken to Eliis Isl­and. ' President Roosevelt and the others put in a few minutes inspecting the ac­ commodations for immigrants and then sat down to a luncheon. No speeches were made. During the luncheon the bell tower, twenty feet high and lo­ cated almost where the President lauded, was hurled down by the wind. A few minutes later the top of a heavy metal ventilator over the dining room was torn away and hung by ragged pieces of tin. Workmen cut it loose and took it away. Cause S I,000,000 Loss. I ■’Atlantic City, N. J.—Tlie hurricane which struck this city caused damage of more than $1,000,009. Fully "fifty buildings were unroofed, several smaller hotels and houses wrecked, the board walk and verandas of large ho­ tels swept out to sea and pavilions un­ dermined and torn to bits. The Hotel Strand was damaged to the extent of $29,000. The old Empire Theatre, the new Bartlett, the Hotels Rudolf, Chelsea, Youngs. Marlborough and Wiltmore are all damaged. New Haven. Conn.—The hurricane which struck this city wrecked about half a dozen of the boats of the New Haven Yacht Club. They were anchored near the Yacht Club, and were swept from their moorings against the club’s pier. Nyack, N. Y.—Twenty rowboats and launches were wrecked during the storm here. Plainfield, N. J.—Joseph Watts, Jr., during the storm stepped on a live wire and was killed. Philadelphia, Pa--A t the Delaware Breakwater several steamships and barges sank. Captain J. B. Mahnffy and four of bis crew of the schooner Hattie A. Marsh were drowned as the vessel went down. The wind reached a velocity of eighty miles an hour. The schooners Emilv E Northam, Adeline Townsend and Sea Bird were driven together. The Sea Bird sank immediately, the others were badly damaged. - A tugboat, supposed to be the Spar- tan. an ocean-going tug, and" three • barges: are sunkan the bay. ,The crews’ of the entire fleet aie doubtless lost «a-no trace of them can be found. , T W O .

' T ills Can B e D one l>y C o n tin u in g O ur R ro te c tio n B o lic y , W ltie li In s u re s W o rk a nd W ages an d a H ig h e r S tanda rd o f L iv in g F o r A ll. Immigration under present condi­ tions presents a serious problem. No one can sit at his desk and ab­ sorb the facts that come to us in re­ ports without appreciating the peril that threatens should hard times come to this country. I am not an alarmist, but when I see hundreds of thousands of ignorant foreigners coming into our great cities every year I think I can realize in some degree the danger that will come from their discontent and dissatisfac­ tion when there are no wages to be earned.—Commissioner Sargent. “When there are no wages to be earned.” W hat memories such a sup­ position brings up. It carries us back to the days of panic and Idleness fol­ lowing the compromise tariff of 1833; it carries us back to the workless and wageless days and years between 1859 and 1869, brought on by free trade; it carries us back to the idle men and women of 1895-6, and loss of earnings due to the free trade law of 1894. With the experience and knowledge which we gained from these awful-pe­ riods following free trade legislation, we can well appreciate the necessity of continuing our present excellent tariff law to enable us to care for these mil­ lions who are coming to our shores. We must protect them by continuing to protect our labor and industry from one end of the country to the other. It may be that some of these immi­ grants are of an undesirable charac­ ter. It may be that better immigra­ tion laws are desirable. That is some­ thing that we must leave to the wis­ dom of Congress. W hat ever the pres­ ent law is we must accept it and face the conditions which are before us. It is protection and prosperity that in­ vites these foreigners to our shores. They do not come In such numbers when we are living under free trade. The same fiscal policy which invites them must protect them and enable them to gain a foothold and become profitable members of the great Ameri­ can army of producers and consumers. It does not take so very long for a foreigner leaving his home where he gained an income of perhaps twenty cents a day to become a good Ameri- can citizen earning ten times that amount per day. Perhaps at first the foreigner is careful of his dollars, and is not so liberal In his expenditures as the native bora and those who have been citizens a number of years. But soon he begins to aim at the American standard of living, he becomes ambi­ tious to own his business and his own home, and to dress and eat and enjoy the same luxuries' as .the average American citizen throughout the coun­ try. Our home market has most, appre­ ciably increased annually, not only by our own augmented wants, but by the increased demands of the newcomer. In but a few years the most diligent become independent, while a few join our wealthy classes. Among our mil­ lionaires to-day can be found the rep­ resentatives of every nation on earth, many of whom came to our shores but a few years ago penniless. Itm ay be that our immigration laws are too lib­ eral, or it may .be that they are two literally administered. At the same time we have gone on now for over a century inviting the poor and the weak from, abroad to this country of oppor­ tunity. There need be no fear but what the vast majority of these immi­ grants will in a very short time be­ come good American citizens, law abiding, well to do and reputable up- builders of the nation’s institutions. There may be lawless characters among them, and these must be checked with a firm hand at the first evidence of any outbreak against the country’s laws and customs. No doubt a re tin’n to free trade and idleness would bring a condition aw­ ful to contemplate. It would bring riot and war with thejnevitable pov­ erty and ruin and death which foliow in the wake of a fiscal policy giving no opportunity for employment and no chance for compensation. Let us see to it, then, that we continue our pres­ ent most admirable fiscal policy; that we continue to protect our men as well as our industries; that we continue to maintain and build dp our .home mar­ ket, worth-more than all the markets of the wprld combined, and that w t do not disturb the causes of the pres­ ent splendid, growth of industries our splendid advancement of citizenship qnd our splendid standard of living .which cannot help but invite those abroad who haye been struggling for nntfre sul^ te n c e , and have in thete natures ajfingle spark of ambition .

Did It ever occur to you that the bunch o£ colored ribbons you wear in your buttonhole—or pinned on your dress if you are a girl—at commence­ ment, or at a baseball or football game, is really a flag? It tells to what class or school or college you belong, or which of these', for the time, has' your interest and sympathy. And for somewhat similar reasons do nations wear their colors. At first maybe it was to tell one another apart, but after a while the colors—the flag—came to represent the nation itself; and the way the people acted toward the na­ tion’s flag was supposed to show the way they felt toward the nation.— From "The Origin of Our Flag" In St, Nicholas. Those who take the most pride In doing a thing by sheer instinct pay the penalty for it in cold judgment. DYSPEPSi OF WOMEN. Mrs. E. B. Bradshaw, of QuthrievOkla., cured of a severe case by Lydia E.

New York City.—The Herald says: Merchants, manufacturers and bank­ ers express themselves as satisfied that no diminution of our national pros- perity is in sight. Tha only note of doubt, and that a smothered one, is heard In New York City. Elsewhere the confidence is shared by all. No financial stringency is reported, save in the metropolis. From the Middle IVest word is sent that the country hanks are not asking for any assistance in furthering the process of moving the booming crops. The steel companies are proceeding in a manner suggestive of confidence in continued prosperity. The farmers of the South were never so well off, other crops besides cotton, bringing in munificent returns. On the Pacific coast business is in a most satisfactory condition, every industry reporting brisk trade and excellent prospects. The mercantile agencies do not report any more failures than at the same period a year ago. Trade journals print symposiums from their corre­ spondents in various parts of the coun­ try that bespeak an optimism almost unanimous. No reductions in wages are reported in any part of the country and the stoppage of work in New England cot­ ton mills and Pittsburg glass works is declared to be merely temporary and not significant as regards future con­ sumption of finished products. The steady progress toward peace in the local building trade situation is tdken to indicate a resumption of easier money, for it is estimated that with fifty thousand men idle here all summer at least $500,000 in wages has been withheld every week from circu­lation in channels where the tide of cash ebbs and flows. The transient buyers have brough r ore money to New York this autumn than ever before, and they have left more extensive orders and taken away with them better qualities of goods than previously. This has tended to offset the undeni­ able dullness in the wholesale dry oods district that has prevailed for some time. Tlie shrinkage in stocks and the dis­ turbed conditions In the labor market here do not appear to have had any appreciable effect upon the men busy in the factories, the mines and the fields, and who are not in close touch with New York City, for they express the greatest confidence in the continu­ ance of good times. At Bradstreet’s Commercial Agenei it is felt that local conditions are stead­ ily improving. Each week sees a re sumption of work on more and more buildings in this city. The far-reaching effects of the troubles In the building trades have not been appreciated by the average man. Brickyards up the Hndson were idle all summer. That was a quick, direct consequence of the strikes and snridowus. At the same time the lum­ ber trade felt the curtailing of demand, ;ind this depression extended all over the Eastern States. The steel and iron business suffered, and all workers In wood soon felt the effect of diminished building operations, as did all allied trades. In the West building has been steady and increasing in extent, and the metal and lumber trades have enjoyed con­ tinued prosperity. There are no more failures reported now than In the corresponding weeks a year ago. There are a few large failures reported all over the country where the liabilities exceed $100,000 or $150,000, but the small dealers and the merchants are paying their bills as they fall due, and the banks report no unusual requests for loan exter sions. DEATHS IN FLORIDA STORM; N in e of W recked S teem sIiIp In c lra lv a ’B Crew D ro w n e d . Jacksonville, Fla.—The wires being down south of Palm Beach and Tampa some details of the hurricane have come by mail and by passengers on in­ coming trains. The steamship Inchulva, of Liver­ pool, owned by the Inch Shipping Com­ pany, of Galveston, loaded with lum­ber and cottonseed meal and bound for Hampton Boads for coal, went ashore near Boynton. The ship’s steer­ ing gear broke and she struck the beach with great force, breaking into three pieces. The captain and mates and fourteen of the crew were saved. Nine men were drowned, among V'""' the engineer. At Palm Beach the damage was se­ rious. Gruber’s Opera House was par­ tially unroofed, as well as his business block on Narcissus street and his ware­ house. The Seminole block suffered heavily, and the Palms block to a smailer extent. Two lives were lost in Tampa through the storm. The spire of the Buelab Baptist Church (colored) was torn from the building and carried across the street. The property loss at Tampa will reach at least $50,000, probably more, It is estimated that half the orange crop has been cut off around Tampa and one-fourth on the East Coast.

London.-—Premier Balfour bas issued the advance sheets of ,a pamphlet on the subject of “Insular Free Trade,” in which he presents at length argu­ ments in favor of a change in Great Britain’s fiscal policy. In introducing the pamphlet Mr. Balfour says his pur­ pose in issuing it is that it would be impossible to put all the important points of this question within the liin* its of a single speech. The Premier points out that as a re­ sult of England’s policy of retaining a fiscal policy made for a free trade coun­ try in a world of free traders, not for a free trade country in a world of pro­ tectionists, the rate of her export trade has not increased, and in fact has seri­ously diminished. Compared with past years some departments show no in­ crease, while others show symptoms of decay. The Premier asserts that there is no reason to expect an improvement. Meanwhile Germany, America, France, Russia and even Great Britain’s self- governing colonies continue to build up {I protective interest within their bor­ ders Mr. Balfour says the mistakes made by the free traders half a century ago have left Great Britain bearing all the burdens and enjoying only half the advantages which should attach to the Empire. He devotes considerable space to the effect of protection upon combinations in countries in which pro­ tection exists. This, the Premier points out, is to the disadvantage of the British manu­ facturer, who is unable to compete with the manufacturer who is able to sell abroad at a lower price than he charges for the same article at home. He gives an instance of German steel In this particular, saying that it is sell­ ing cheaper in England than the Eng­ lish manufacturer can possibly pro­ duce itMr. Balfour declares that the opti­ mists who advocate a continuance of the free trade policy in place of the in­ jury worked by protection on Great Britain’s interests are foolish and their arguments little short of reckless. He concludes: “It cannot be right for a country with free trade ideals to enter into competi­ tion with* protectionist rivals self-de­ prived of the only instrument whereby their policy can conceivably be modi-- Red. The most essential object of our national efforts should be to get rid of the bonds in which we have gratuitous­ ly entangled ourselves. The precise manner in which we should use our re­ gained liberty is important, yet after all. only a secondary issue.” The publication of the pamphlet af- i.er the Cabinet had failed to agree 011 ’•he proposed fiscal policy is taken to mean that the Government will stand, tnat the Colonial Secretary will not re­ sign, and that the Premier will retain the leadership of the modified tariff :ause, for which the way may be opened by the appointment of a royal ommission. AIRSHIP _ONLY_A MODELv sper-C overetl A fla iv is TVhat Irv in g to n , In d ., Saw. Indianapolis, Ind.—The announce­ ment by many prominent citizens of Irvington that they had seen an airship i few days ago caused great excite­ ment here. A number of well-known business men offered to make affidvits that they had seen two inen in it; one said he had called to them. At noon the following day, in a field several miles from Irvington, some boys found a large, torpedo-shaped, paper-covered affair, with a canopy and two dummy figures in it. It is thirty feet long and is believed to have been a model of an airship upon which some local mechanics were working.

San Francisco, Cal.—The suicide of Tom King Yung, Militaiy Attache of .he Chinese Legation at Washington and secretary of the acting Chinese Consul-General here, has greatly ex­ cited the prominent Chinese of San Francisco. He left letters saying he could not stand the shame of a threat­ ened trial in the police court for an of­ fense with which he was charged. Yung was arrested Friday in the street. He resisted arrest, as he held that his consular post exempted him from this, and he was roughly handled. He turned on the gas in his rooms and was found dead. NO FEAR FOR MISSIONARIES.

N object lesson road, built under the supervision of 71 I the United States Depart- X*I. I rnent of Agriculture, has been completed at Mor­ gantown, West Virginia. This being the first work of the kind done in the State, its completion was celebrated by the holding of a good roads convention. There was a good attendance of representative citizens from all parts of the State, addresses were delivered by a number of promi­ nent men, and it is believed that sub­ stantial progress toward general im­ provement of the highways has been made. Perhaps the most significant feature of the convention’s work was the unanimity and enthusiasm with which it endorsed both State and Na­ tional aid. The Washington Post in a leading editorial condemns, both National and State aid as paternalistic. It says that "The duty of road building attaches solely to the communities immediately concerned.” This is a narrow view. The same view applied to education would make the local communities pay all the expenses of the schools; yet State aid to education is the rule, not the exception. If the Post's contention is right, the local community should be required to establish its own postofflce, and hire its postmaster and mail car­ riers. In fact, nearly everything the State and National governments are doing for the people would be con­ demned as paternalism viewed from the same standpoint. But the Post’s ideas are not all so absurd as the one quoted above. In the same issue it has the following to say concerning convict labor: “In the building of good roads lies the solution of the convict problem. The convicts we have always with us. The crop is constant as it is abundant. Why not use them to construct endur­ ing turnpikes, instead of cooping them up in prison shops or-leasing them out to private speculators in human flesh and blood? In the one case we put criminals in competition with honest labor. In the other, we traffic in scan­ dal, cruelty and demoralization. Were the able-bodied convicts throughout the country employed upon the public roads as we suggest, we should have within ten years as excellent highways as those of France, Germany or Eng­ land. Moreover, it would be a legiti­ mate employment that would operate injury to none and benefit to all.” G ood B oads in F lo rid a . In no State in the Union is there greater enthusiasm among the people for building good roads than i ". Florida, and in no State has more legislation favorable to road improvement been snacted during the past year. The Leg­ islature which recently adjourned en­ acted several general road laws. Their general purport ran be gathered from the following brief statement by Sen­ ator A. S. Mann, who is State organizer for the Florida Good Boads Associa­ tion: ‘The general public at first glance wiil not be prepared to grasp the im­ portance of the present good roads laws. The act giving the internal im­ provement fund to good road: alone in its entirety in lands and money be­ queaths to the cause not less than $10,- 000,000 or $16,000,000. In Florida, where material is abundant and cheap, with little or no expensive cuts or fills to make, and sand as a foundation in­ suring perfect drainage for roadbed, an immense amount of work can be done on this fund alone; -lint, couple with this the convict money, one-half of which goes into the general revenue fund of each county, and may be Used on the roads if the County Com­ missioners so wish, and the levy of a three mill tax on all values for same purpose, and all will see that the power to make good roads has been given without stint.” Another, act of the highest import­ ance sets aside for purposes of road im­ provement; the Indian war claims, the payment oi which has been authorized by Congress. From this alone the State willj realize over -half a million dollars. ■ Wide T ire s In Chicago. After a jiard fight by the friends of good roads in Chicago, -the Aldermen of that town have passed a wide-tire ordinance, which will apply to all wagons used in that city. Hereafter, wagons with four wheels carrying a load of 2000 pounds must have tires one inch j wide; those carrying 3000 pounds must have tires one and one- half inches wide; 4000 pounds, two inches; 5000 pounds, two and one-half inches; 60,00- pounds, three inches, and so on, in similar ratio, including wag­ ons of 20,000 pounds burden, the width of whose! tires must be eight inches. The tires M two-wheeled vehicles must be twice as wide as those specified for four - wheelers, at the respective weights. I The fine for violating - the provisions of the ordinance may be from Sltf to $50. Through the passage of this measure the good toads advocates feel that they have scored a notable triumph. -Nar­ row tires, they maintain, have done more than anything else to undo the good work in road building already accomplished, and they hope to fifce the time when only broad-wheeled vehicles will be used throughout the country. It has required'years of in­ dustrious effort to secure the Chicago ordinance. F u n is h ix ig D e lin q u e n ts. Some (if the State Senators-jnd-JlAPr resentatives who failed to do ■ their part to secure the passage of State aid laws, or to secure sufficient appropria­ tion in States where such laws are already in existence, are already find­ ing to their cost that iihey have made a serious mistake. For on their re­ turn home to “look after their fences” they are being met with the pertinent question: “Why did you not look after our roads when you were.in the Legis­ lature?” Many of these, men will fail of re-election and deservedly so,. for they have evaflod one of .their heaviest responsibilities In -Hot providing for an adequate'system. ofroad improjemjah - - - Tortillas. In conjunction with the systematic effort made in recent years by the United States to make known in Eu­ rope the food value, or, rather, table value, of Indian corn, it may interest many housekeepers to know how tor­ tillas are made. These tortillas are, as many know, thin cakes of corn, and are used in Mexico and other Spanish-American countries almost universally in lieu of wheat bread. The corn, selected clean kernels for best results, is boiled in lime water until soft. It is then washed thor­ oughly in water to remove all traces of lime, and rubbed between the ,hands to remove the outer husk of the'corn. The clean com is then ground, while wet, to a soft mass, which is easiest accomplished with a peanut butter mill. The wet dough resulting from grinding is patted into thin cakes of convenient size and baked on a dry griddle (that is, without fat) and served hot. In the better class fami­ lies it is usual to have one servant bake these tortillas continually dur­ ing the course of a meal, so that the table may be supplied fresh from the griddle all the time. While these cakes are a radical departure to all English speaking people, many soon develop a great liking for them. They are especially palatable when eaten with highly flavored meat dishes, such as the Mexican "chile con carne," and also when spread with butter. It may be well to add that no salt is used in the preparation of these cakes.—Sci­ entific American. FALL KSBNEY CHILLS. Humbug on a Large Seale. In 1862 a man named Vrain-Lucas, living in the rue Jean Jacques Bous- seau, Paris, managed to dispose of no fewer tkan 27,000 bogus manuscripts, gems, enamels and ivories. He said he found them in an iron- bound chest in a ruined city In Cen­ tral America; but it came out after­ ward that he had, with infinite pains and cunning, made them all himself. Theprideof the collection was what purported to be an ancient silver cas­ ket of Syrian workmanship, ana which contained, among other things, a love letter from Judas Iscariot to Mary Magdalen, twenty-five letters to St. Peter from Lazarus and two brief eoistles from Gremlus Julius to our Lord. The telegraph system in the East African British Protectorate of Uganda now extends to Batiaba, on the shore of the Albert Nyanza. The trunk line from Mombasa, with its branches, is over 1,031 miles In length, and the charge over the whole distance is 4 cents a word, with a minimum of 33 cents for a message of eight words. There is also a system of telephones along the whole distance, which may be used at 33 cents a conversation. The poies on which -the wires are fixed are living trees. 1 A X arge C otton Crop—Xow er P rice s. It begins to appear as if the supply of cotton this year will be fully equal to all requirements, and the cotton planters of the South will doubtless act wisely in selling the cotton they have raised just as promptly as it can be brought to market. The U. S. Government in its report on the cotton crop, issued on the Bd of September, makes the condition of the crop 81.2. This is K.2 per cent better than the report at the same time iast year, and the acreage sko\ys an in­ crease of about four per cent. This is a total of twenty-one per cent, over last year’s indicated production, which is the equivalent of abont 2,000,000 bales of cotton. The indicated crop is, there­ fore, somewhere in the* neighborhood of 13,000,000 bales, and while it is pos­ sible that an early frost or bad weath­ er may diminish these figures slightly a crop of at least 12,000,000 bales or over seems probable. Such a crop if realized undoubtedly means much low­ er prices. It is to be hoped that the cotton planters of the South will not be misled'by false prophets into hold­ ing their cotton, but that they will, on the contrary, sell it as rapidly as it comes in. Nearly all authorities are confirmatory of the Government figures. Mr. Theodore H. Price, the well-known expert, makes the condi­ tion eighty-three and the crop 12,700,- 000 bales, aud the figures of the New York Journal of Commerce iudicate about the same conclusion. The truth seems to be that the ab­ normally high prices to which cotton advanced during the spring and sum­ mer, although they profited planters but little, as the crop was practically all marketed before'these prices were re­ alized, have greatly stimulated plant­ ing and production in every direction. ./ I T S p e r m a n c n t l y c u r e d .

Ia H eyes are turned toward the [uth now when progress and fu- |re prosperity and development je concerned. Onr friend Mr. A. Stronach1 calls our attention to Ie September number of the Nev.- gork Dry Goods Economist, a Inrmd devote I essentially to the fry goods trade of the United gates and of very large influence. leading article in this issne Sider the above title, is as follows:' iiAll eyes are now fixed upon South. That seetiou of onr bmmon country holds the center • ihe stage. The marvelous iu- ase in the demand for their rincipal product—cotton—anu be price to which that commodity bs recently risen, have impressed be world as never before with the jjpurtunitics that lie before the Iates south of Mason and Dixon’s fee The indications are not only1 bat an sirar-gs crop wi'.l be gath- jred this season, but that an ex- feptionai increase of prosperity fill result from the large pecunia- 1 return which the planter has in respect.

Some fellow has written a poem entitled, ilThe Democrat and the Mule,” but it.puzzle3 us to under­ stand what he put that ‘'and” in there for. There are fast accumulating evi­ dences that Billy Bryan has grown tired of riding a hobby. Helias re­ cently purchased a horse name I Roosevelt. The Portsmouth, Ohio, Time3 is of the opinion that the democratic party could win if it would only be true to itself and the people. Per­ haps it might. And if a hog had fingers it might learn to pick the banjo, too. A democratic paper says that if it was going t-.i prescribe a form ula for pure republicanism it would not inclnde a single grain of honesty No of coarse not. Democrats were never known to iuclndc any hones­ ty in any thing they ever weat at, and that's the reason their own party is- in the dismal dolefnl dumps it is standing on a foundation in which honesty is not included, but the republican pa' ty is established on the solid rock of truth. It don’t need any democratic formulas thank the Lord. There is a paper published at Fork uhurch, Ji1 C, called “The Hornet.” It is about the size of a healthy goose’s foot and claims to be the hottest democratic paper in America. Itis entirely devoid of anything resembling a sensible ar­ gument but tries to shatter the im­ pregnable battlements of republi- the.n a tirade of ,empty expletives of the with these words: iiThe Horretvs Republicanism.” Whew! D in’t you reskoa it is time for republi­ canism to get scared! The Horoet vs ltepublicanism looksabcut like a little sick kitten spitting, iu the face of a volcano. Some of the miserable demociatic wags who are fools enough to think they are witty persist in 'Oilliai Williams. Taylor a “ fugitive frjin justice.” It might trutfully be said that Mr Taylor is a fugitive but he is SOTa fugitive from justice On the contrary he is a fugitive from the ISJUdTICE of a Ken tucky democratic partizan court. He is charged with being implicat­ ed in the killing of Bill Goeble and knowing that there was no chance of getting justice in Kout i jk y at the bands of a dem jsr.itia j iry he has left the State. And who blames him? Everybody knows that a jury composed of Kentucky democrats could convict- the Apostle Paul of murdering Goebel, and not half strain themselves. :ay will lift the cotton-produc , ^ ^ iutoa uetr and more red position !lowest and mest vulgir tvae.

A few days siuce a little two-year- old girl, with hair full of weed seeds and burrs, her little white frock torn with briars, wandered to the saw mill of Mr. A. J.

Wilson, Special.—On Tuesday Wil­ son township voted on the issue of $25,000 in bonds for the building of the Washing & Pamlico Railroad, which is to run from Raleigh to Wash­ington, via Wilson. The election was carried by a large majority, there being only two votes cast against the road in the entire township. It is learned that the survey of the Raleigh & Albermarle Sound Railway will begin October 1st at Wilson and will'be conducted both ways, towards Raleigh and towards Washington. The work is to be pushed as rapidly as possiblbe, and, as stated, it is the pur­pose to have the road completed In 18 months from that date. The only heavy work on the- line will be from Raleigh towards Wiisoh, a distance of say ten miles. By the way, State Treasurer Lacy, an ex-engineer, has consented to run the first locomotive over the road; taking the'first excur­ sion from Raleigh to Washington. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction is advised that In Duplin county two local tax school districts have been formed and that in three districts money has been raised by subscription for lengthening the school terms. Starkey Hare, a well-known deputy revenue collector, with headquarters at Raleigh, had an exciting experience while hunting moonshiners, In Beau­ fort county. He went to the house of a moonshiner to seize some contraband whiskey. The moonshiner’s wife, who was hidden behind the door, suddenly dashed a gourd of hot water In his fact, badly scalding him. She was pre­ paring to repeat her performance when Hare left. • A charter is granted by the State to the Stough-Corneiius Company, of Cor­nelius, Mecklenburg county, capital stock $50,000 to operate VottoiT gins and oil mill and deal in real estate.

It appears from the returns so far received that the vote for the bond is- - sue in aid of the Raleigh & Pamlico Sound Railway is practically unani­ mous all the way along the route from Ralmgh to Washington. A preliminary survey has been made of the 25 miles between Raleigh and Wilson. At the earliest ,ppssibfe moment a survey will begin. It is figured that it will require & year and a half to build the railway, the total length of which will be be­ tween 105 and 110 miles. All the townships along the line, save Beaver Dam, in Pitt county, haVe voted ior the road. That township is yet in doubt. A- charter is granted to the Ingram Lumber Company of Taylorsville, capital $25,000. The State horticultural farm here, for the Agricultural and Mechanical College, has for a number of - years, been on property west of and adjoin­ ing the State Fair grounds, but this is now abandoned, and Prof. Ma3sey says he is searching for a suitable place for a horticultural farm. He' adds that there is. no suitable place near Raleigh. What has been the hor­ ticultural farm is now devoted entire­ ly to poultry. A man named Jeffry from Canada, an expert, is now in charge , of the poultry farm and is making the farm more' attractive than ever before. State Treasurer Lacy, has returned from a tour in the interest of the Ral­ eigh & .Pamlico-Sound Railway, dur­ ing which he made three speeches, at Drywells and Bailey’s in Nash coun­ ty, and at Snow Hill in -Greene, coun- , ty.

Canvas C ontrirance ITsed to S h ie ld th e H orse F ro m aIT in d a F actor—Unexpect- . ed F ea t on th e E m p ire C ity T ra ck. New York City.—Harness records have been set aside so frequently of late that each new champion scarcely sweeps across the horizon of fame before a new one appears to dim the lustre of all that has gone before; It seems almost like yesterday that Han Patch, the pacer, on a cold, bleak day at the Brighton Beach track lowered the then world’s harness record that had stood for years and put the figures at 1.59. A few days ago the crowd at the Empire track saw these figures wiped out by. two seconds, and 3.57 go on the records to the credit of the pacer Prince Alert. The first great factor in the new figures that will surprise the world wherever the harness horse has a fol­ lowing is that the equine king has long been recognized as the coming champion. Last year he reached the two-minute mark and paced a half mile within three beats of the watch as fast as the middle half of his record-breaking mile. The second im­ portant factor in the great mile was a track without doubt faster than any a record breaker ever before stepped over in a record-breaking effort Mon­ roe Salisbury took-the track in hand, and work 011 it was kept up almost con­ tinuously, until the horse scored for the effort that crowned him king of harness horses. The third factor is as yet an un­ known quantity, and what share it should have of the credit only the fu­ ture can determine. When the runner came out to make the pace in front and break the atmospheric resistance he drew a cart on which a half circular canvas shield had been built in front of the seat, with two apertures for the driver to reach the reins. This ex­ tended from one shaft to the other and was higher than the driver’s head, completely sheltering him. Between the wheels below was another strip of canvas reaching nearly to the ground. It was a queer-looking con­ trivance and caused no end . of com­ ment. Prince Alert was dose' up to the runner and the, wind shield , when the judges started him on the journey that was destined to be the fastest ever made by a horse in harness at a har­ ness* gait.. The quarter mile pole was reached in 0.29*4 and it was easy to see that J. C. Curry, who was in the sulky, was saving the horse ,and keep­ ing him iu hand. Down the back- stretch, over the fastest quarter mile of the track, the pace was faster, and here a second runner joined as a prompter. The half mile pole was passed in 0.58, making the time for the second quarter 0.28%. It was plain that the horse was still under restraint, and a shout went up, “He’ll break the rec­ ord!” Then the runner closed in oil him and the race began in earnest. The three-quarter mile pole was reached in 1.2(3%, making5 the time for the third quarter 0.28%, and . for the middle half 0.57, the fastest half mile ever seen iu harness on any- course. As they swung into the homestretch, and the crowd read the figures that meant a new record, the excitement was at fever heat. Men shouted and acted like boys at play, The three horses were bunched now, and each driver was shouting words of encour­ agement that were taken up and re­ peated by the excited spectators. Vhen above the long distance stand Mart • Demarest got the runner over so far * from the pole'that Prince Alert, kept close to the shorter route by his driver, and the runner at his head had the : wind shield equally divided, the three having the shape of a triangle. As Prince Alert reached the wire hundreds of watches.told without wait­ing for an official announcement that all former records had gone by the board, not by fraciions of a second, . but by two full reconds, and the scene was a stiiTing one before the judges huug out 1.57. Enthusiastic friends carried Curry from the sulky and lifted him into the judges’ stand,, where he made a brief acknowledgment of the honor and enthusiasm bestowed upon him. Then Mart Demarest, the regu­ lar trainer of the horse, was called before the delighted crowd, and' last of all came James Hanley, of Providence, owner of the horse. KEEP MILITIA REPORTS SECRETS.

CRIME Two Men Blown Ip WiIh Dynamite and Robbed. OCCURRED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. The nen Had Laid a Trap to Qet the Large Amount' of Honey Being Transported. Washington, Ga., Special.—One of the mo3t fiendish and bloodthirsty murders and robberies In the history of Washington county occurred Friday afternoon on the Middleton road, about 15 miles from her.' Samuel T. Ferguson of the Ferguson Construc­ tion Company, of Pittsburg, was in­ stantly killed,' and his secretary, Charles Martin, of Cincinnati, was fa­ tally injured. The two men were driving along the road in a buggy car­ rying $5,600 in cash with which to pay off some of their men employed on construction work along the line of the Wabash Railroad, when sud­ denly an explosion of dynamite in the roadway literally tore the rig to pieces,' killed Ferguson outright and threw Martin 200.feet and tearing his left arm almost from-the socket. It has been learned‘that two men sup­ posed to be Poles, placed the dyna­ mite in the road for the purpose of killing Paymaster Ferguson and had arranged to explode it by means of an electric battery. The satchel contain­ ing the money is missing. Two sus­ pects are under arrest in the camp of the construction company near the village, but the farmers of the section are scouring the country for traces of the murderers, and believe they have one of them at bay in an aband­ oned coal mine about a mile and a half northeast of ,West Middletown. So quickly wa3 everything accom­ plished that-the men who. are .impli­cated got. away with their booty be­ fore they could be overtaken, al­ though the county authorities believe that if the right men are not those under arrest they will have little diffi­ culty, in taking them.

The matter wa3 thoroughly gone into, documents read, and: copy of the evi­ dence submitted. Fnirther considera­ tion was deferred until later in the No Hope for Canal Treaty. Washington, Special. — Minister Beaupre has abandoned hope of the ratification of the Panama Canal treaty, and cables the State Depart­ ment, under date of Bogota, September 18th, that the situation, is unchanged.

Sherwood, former cashier of that in­ stitution, who was brought back from Panama, was sentenced by Judge PIatt ?n the United States District Court to ten years’ imprisonment, the maximum penalty. Sherwood appeared very ner­ vous in the court room, his face and hands twitching convulsively; arid he heard the sentence as if dazed. In pronouncing sentence, Judge Platt expressed regret that an unpleasant duty had fallen to him, and said that he had tried hard to convince himself that it would be possible to meet the ends of justice by giving the prisoner a sentence of less than ten years, but he was unable to reach such a con­ clusion. He asked Sherwood and his counsel to remember that the court had it within its power to take into consideration all the three counts, and that since he chose to take only one of them, he !was exercising forbearance as far as was consistent with the circum­ stances. - He then sentenced the pris­ oner to ten years in prison. ALL HOPE FOR THE CANAL GIVEN UP G overnm ent Goneindea T re a ty is Dead, and S torgan Says Jfi is W e il. Washington, D.'C.—When the State Department closed its doors at 4o’clock Tuesday it was agreed the Panama canal treaty was dead, although eight hours yet remained within which the Colombian Congress might take affir­ mative action upon it. No word, how­ ever, had been received from either Minister Beaupre in Bogota or Mv Herran, the Colombian Charge here. President Roosevelt now may elect to proceed under the Spooner act arid take up the Nicaragua route or he can permit affairs to drift In the hope a wuy may be found to straighten the PAth of the Panama route. Montgomery, Ala--On hearing that the State Department had beard noth­ ing front Minister Beaupre concerning the Panama canal treaty, United States Senator Morgan said: “The treaty has been dead for twen­ ty-five days. Nothing could have res­urrected it. The action in Bogota means the building of the canal by the Nicaragua route. President Roosevelt has no discretionary power. It turned out exactly as I' expected. It is the best thing for this country and the world.” WHOLESALE ARMY DESERTIONS. G eneral IlIa c A rfilin r -Jfieperfis 1844 K n tt- aw ays F ro m K e p a rtm e n to f C a lifo rn ia .'

In almost every State where investigations were made throughout New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland, the reports show an up­ ward average tendency of about twenty per cent., and In single in­ stances for more. In no case was any decline In values found, and al­ though in a few cases the reports showed no particular change in value, yet In most cases there were evidences of a gain in the price of good average farms of five, ten, fifteen and twenty per cent., and in a, few instances running considerably higher. In Dela­ ware the upward tendency has almost reached the nature of a boom. It has always been one of the prin cipal tenets of the protectionist that the value of farm lands ’and farm products are enhanced according to their proximity to a manufacturing centre. The closeness to a manufac­ turing town is, of course, of no value unless the inhabitants of that commun­ ity are earning good and continued wages. This has been the condition now for several years under our pres­ ent protective tariff, and in conse­ quence farmers have gotten better prices for their products, and their lands have enhanced in value propor­ tionally. The Eastern farmer cannot, of course,; compete with the Western agri­ culturist in the great crops, but when the factory hands of the New Eng­ land and Middle States are fully em­ ployed there is always a demand for farm produce whieh come under the head of “truck farming,” fully equal .to the productive ability of the entire farm ing community of these Eastern States. In fact, the only difficulty' which the New England farmer has experienced during the past two or three years has been the same as that of the Western agriculturist—namely, inability to get sufficient help to en­ able him to produce aiifl harvest his products. Says the American Agricult­ uralist of July 25: “Slowly but surely the values of farm lands in the Eastern and New Eng­ land States are improving. The evi­ dences arrayed in the American Agri­ culturist’s special investigation should make an impress for the betterment of the farmer’s financial standing. Grant­ ed that the splendid agricultural lands of the West arc most attractive pro­ positions, yet there is no reason why the progressive farmers of the Middle and Eastern States should not- be ac­ corded due consideration from banks and business interests generally, when loans are soright for the further im­ provement of the farms. The testi­ mony of our correspondents on the higher trend of values should inspire greater confidence than ever before in the merits of Eastern farming, where we have the- best cash markets in the world at our doors. Land in some, of our Eastren and New England States is now relatively among the best busi­ ness propositions in the country." We fully agree with the above, that the Eastern fanner is entitled to every consideration at the hands of the banks. Twenty years ago he was lending his money to build up the agricultural lands of the West. A few years of protection has enabled the Western agriculturist to either pay off his mortgage entirely, or reduce it most materially, and now the farm­ ers of the West have money to loan, and their banks are bulging not only the factory, to become independent and well-to-do. It.m ust ever be one of the greatest reasons given in favor of a continuation of our protective policy, that the benefits jt bestows are widespread and universal. There is not a building up in one State or one section of the country; there is no benefit to be bestowed upon any one branch of industry; all share and share alike, and each helps the other in one gteat independent endless chain of communication. -So it is that when we baVe work for all.- then the mouths are filled, and the bodies are clothed,-and the houses are built, and the luxuries are consumed, taxing, every productive institution In the country; taxing our transportation facilities to the utmost, and keeping busy our avenue of dla* tpibution and calling into employment our great body of clerical laborers all Jn turn, contributing by their consum- tog power and purchasing ability to the common weal of all. Surely such a Pokey, such .a condition should be let alone as long as prosperity and em­ ployment continue to be at the highest level ever known, not only In this, Dut any other country,K*'"*— —f---— v — F ro s p e riti R a m pa nt, From every section of the counlrv from every industry comes the one and only cry, Prosperity.

Protection is held responsible for tariff wars, but the action of France in imposing discriminating duties on American meats because tlie manu­ facturers of that country wish to foree upon us wares which we do not want, shows where the responsibility lies. Tariff wars are entirely chargeable to the desire to push upon other peo­ ple what cannot be consumed at home. Protection only aims at self-sufficing. ness. When that idea is strictly ad­ hered to no one has a right to take offense.

Indianapolis, Ind.—Por several years the Pblice Department of Evansville has lfeen distracted by petty fends among: the patrolmen and detectives, and when the recent riots occurred these !jealousies were potent In render­ ing tha department inefficient. It lias been customary for one set ot men and detectives to belittle the work of the other, and there have been occa­ sions when criminals have escaped jus. tice because of the efforts of one fac­ tion to circumvent the other. These conditions culminated in a ter­ rible tragedy, in which Thomas Hutch­ ens, *a detective, shot and fatally wounded Frederick Houke, Chief of Police, and Captain Frederick Bren- necke. Jacob Lutz, a butcher, of Boonville, was a bystander. «One of the bullets .intended for Bren- necke penetrated Lutz’s lung, and the doctor, who arrived a few minutes later, reported that he vfas fatally wounded. After dealing death to these three men Hutchens fired a bullet into his own temple and fell dead. Early in the evening Hutchens re­ ported at headquarters and asked Cap­tain Brennecke to excuse him from duty, as he was sick. Instead, Bren- necke ordered him to go to the Fair Grounds, where an entertainment was in progress. When' Chief Houke arrived Hutchens made a similar request, but the Chief sustained the captain, and Hutchens left, muttering something against the two officers. He, went to the Fair Grounds and en-‘” tered the German village, where he was telling his troubles to a friend when Captain Brennecke and Chief Houke entered. “There’s two men that I’m going to get even with,” said Hutchens to his friend, and as he spoke drew a revol­ ver.. A shot raog out, • Brennecke groaned and reeled. Hutchens heard the groan and it seemed to please him/ He dashed toward Brennecke and fired again.. Tlie bullet went into the captain’s arm. The first shot had torn his lung. The captain fell in a heap as Chief Houke, who was a dwarf beside the massive Hutchens, ran toward the murderer to prevent another shot. Hutchens turned upon the Chief and fired. Houke staggered aiid fell. The bullet entered his breast. Patrolman Crowe sprang upon Hutchens, but th£ big detective threw him off as though he were a child. An­ other shot' rang out and Lutz, the butcher, fell with a bullet in his breast. He was an innocent bystander, oiie of a hundred in the tent. .He is a Councilman at Boonville, his home. While Crowe was readjusting himself for another attempt to quiet the murderer, the crowd of men and women in the tent were thrown into a panic and shrieks and groans filled tbe air. Houkef Brennecke and Lutz lay in pools of blood upon the sawdust bed of the “Village.*’ Hutcliens ran to the door, and with a cry that no one would ever see him tried, placed the revdlver to his own head and fired, killing him­ self instantly. 0.

Green, President .of the Interna­ tional Tijpie^Recording Company and Cliairman of the Republican County Committee, was arraigned before United States Commissioner Charles S. Hal! on two indictments recently found against him by the Federal Grand Jury in Washington, charging Mr. Green jointly with George W. Beavers, of Brooklyn, with conspiracy to defraud the United States Government and charging Mr. Green with giving bribes to Beavers, The Government was represented by United States District Attorneys G. B. Curtiss and T. L. Arms and'by In­ spector Mayer. Mr. Green was repre­ sented by James T. Rogers, the Broome County Assemblyman and Republican leader on the floor of the Assembly. A plea of not guilty was entered to both of tlie indictments and bail- was set iu $5000 on each indictment, Jonas M. Kilmer qualifying as surety. A formal examination into the charges brought against Mr. Green will be held before Commissioner Hall. Sir. Green will at that time be repre­ sented by‘John B. Stanchfield, a Demo­ cratic attorney, of Elmira, and T. R. Tuthill, of this city. The indictment recites that Green, as President of the International Time Recording Com­ pany, undertook to furnish and did furnish, large numbers of time record­ ers to the Postoffice Department through George W. Beavers, and in so' doing committed several offenses against the Unitfed States. The indictment theu-sets forth that Green and Beavers, on December 11, 1901, entered into an unlawful agree­ ment, whereby Green undertook to pay Beavers ten per cent of all sums paid to tlie Time Recording Company for all clocks and supplies furnished the Government, and that on the same day Green gave to BeaversapersonaI check for $325, drawn on the Knickerbocker Trust Company, of New York, to in­ fluence Beavers’ decision to the detri­ ment of the United States. It is further charged that on January 13,1802. Green gave to Beavers a draft on the Seveuth National Bank of New York for §3S3.1S; another check on April 20. 1902, for $418.36, ar£ another on October 8, 1902, for $S42.88. The second indictment is worded much, the same as the first and con­tains eleven counts. The fourth count sets forth that Green and Beavers conspired on De­cember 18, 1901. by sending out an of­ ficial letter notifying certain officers that time recorders had been ordered for them, the letters having been un­ lawfully signed with Beavers’ iuitials. Tiie tenth and eleventh count deals with a check for $1042.88, which, it is' alleged, was slven to Beavers by Green on behalf of- the Time Recorder Com­pany on October S. 1902. Senator Green Ims been Chairman of the Broome County Republican Com­mittee for eight years and served two terms as Mayor of Binghamton. He is the geueral manager of the Yaqui Paper Company of Mexico, with offices in New York; is the owner of the Dore- mus Stamp Cancelling Company of Washington, which has figured promi­nently in the recent Postoffice Depart­ ment investigations; is the President of six or eight large industrial corpora­ tions, director in about a dosten others, and in many ways has for years been the most prominent business man of this city.

Berlin, Germany.—Ah electric car ran at the rate of 106 4*5 miles per hour on the Zossen military road, said to be the highest speed ever attained, but engineers in charge expect 125 miles per hour will be reached. It was found last year when a speed of 99% miles was reached that the 70- pound rails and ordinarily ballasted roadbed would not stand the strain. Since then the roadbed has been re­ constructed with broken basalt and closely set with pine ties faced with oak, so as to have the springiness of the pine and the hardness of the oak. The new rails are a little over 100 pounds. J l l y s te v l o u s ly K i l l e d I n a B e d r o o m * •Lawrence F. Adams, twenty-one years old, was shot and killed by Will-, iam H.

Suffolk, Ta.—Charged w ith. having been an accessory to the midnight as­ sassination of Peter Winborne Odota1 the victim’s widow, Ida, is a prisoner in Courtland, Va. In jail with her are 0. A. Alley, who is accused of the crime itself, and Grover Blow, the na­ ture of whose alleged connection with the killing of Odom is not clear, but who is said to have been cognizant of circumstances said to have preceded the act. Xt is said Alley had been at­ tentive to Mrs,, Odom, and that Blow, on a previous occasion, had lured Odom from home so the husband’s reputed rival might visit the woman without feav of detection. Mrs. Odom was arrested in her home. The seizure of the woman was a result of stories of her former alleged rela­ tions with Alley that reached the au­ thorities at various times after Wed­ nesday, when the murder was com­ mitted. It was told that Odom left his bedroom shortly after midnight to as­ certain the cause of a strange noiso outside his home. He carried a gun, but whether he had opportunity to use it is a disputed point. The widow says he did. The police hold the opposite belief. Following the sounds of shots Odom, the back of his liead bored by two bul­ lets, was found jin the yard. He was dying when Jiftetl from the ground and too far gone toi tell the story of the shooting, it wa:; said at the inquest next day. Before the Coroner could reach the house the victim was dead. Taking the bloodhoiuids to the spot where tlie dying man was found the detectives vainly sought to make the dogs follow a trail. Sniffing eagerly, the hounds ran ground the yard several times, noses to <he ground, apparently unable to get thj> scent. If they found traces of the murderer the tracks did not lead far, for the dogs would not leave the place.; It appeared to some who watched them they were at a loss; others believed they had found a' trail that led to the house instead of away from the Odom home. Berry Odom, k brother of the dead man, sought evjidence day and night. He collated all ;tbe stories bearing on Alley’s reported attentions to Mrs. Odom, and froiri them developed a the­ ory on which lie swore ont warrants for the arrests.' No difficulty was ex­ perienced in taking the woman into custody beyond the pathos attending her separation from two little daugh­ ters, but a large and heavily armed posse was deemed necessary to the capture of All«y. Some of the best l;nown men inj the county aided the Sheriff to arrest the alleged slayer of Odom. I Mrs. Odom is thirty-three years old and above the ajverage of comeliness. MEETS HIS FATE IN TENEMENTS. P o l i t i c s ! . e a d s X io s to n S o c ie ty M a n I n t o C a j t i d ’s S n a r e s . Boston, Mass.—One of Cupid’s pretti­est romances is contained in the An­ nouncement just made of the engage­ment of Ellery-H. Clark, amateur all- round champion of America, clubman, social favorite, politician and lawyer, to Miss Victoria Mary Maddalena, a pretty brunette of humble Swiss ori- gin. !Politics led 1ihe scion of wealth and Back Bay society into the very heart of Boston’s tenement district. He won the goal of his" political ambition, that of School Committeeman, but lost to Cupid. While :working for votes Clark met, wooed aiid won the girl, not yet out of her ’teens, who is to become his bride this fall. To better conduct his campaign Clark took up his lodgings in a cheap hotel over a saloon, and close to the ele­ vated. There he fell victim at A i-S t sight to the charms of the pretty bru­ nette. She is the oldest of four chil­ dren of Daniel Maddalena, who came to this country from Switzerland in 1878, and soon afterward married. TO DISARM NEW YORK TOUGHS.

Tlie recent bloody affrays between Bast Side gangs have called the attention of the police to tlie fact that the roughs and loafers of that section of the city go armed with revolvers. In a .fight one night this week 100 shots were fired by members of the gangs. Now the thugs will be disarmed. The poliee have planned a systematic campaign. The first-move to be made is to relieve the toughs of their • re­ volvers. Permits have to be obtained from the police for the right to carry weapons, and the department does not issue such permits to men like “Monk” Eastman, “Piggy” Donovan and their followers. A sudden descent on the various notorious gang3 is to be made, and all men found carrying weapons will be arrested. Police Magistrates will then be asked to inflict the full penalty. : ___ SALT TRUST WRECK COMPLETE.

In the Crimea scientists hare been malting queer experiments with fruit %ees. instead of trying to increase their growth and yield by heaping fer­ tilizers around their roots, they have been cutting tiny holes into their trunks and inserting salts of iron in both solid and liquid form. An ac­ count of these curious experiments has been read before the Imperial society recently ana it was declared by the men who have been thus feeding the trees that the method has proved itself to be highly successful. Photographs Were shown ot nine hundred trees that Siad been thus treated, and the pic­ tures appeared to prove the truth ot the allegations, for all the trees were beautiful with foliage and flourishing excellently. Glgantio Wedding Feast. A monster banquet has just been given by a wealthy landowner at Quimperle, in Normandy, to celebrate the simultaneous wedding of his four children, two sons and two daughters. No fewer than 1,600 guests sat down to the feast, which took place In the open air. The bill of fare included five cattle and sixteen lambs. So lavish was the scale-of ordering that, though the 1,600 guests are reported to have had magnificent appetites, there was more than enough for all. Npr was their thirst neglected, for the guests emptied ten large barrels ol wine and fifteen of cider, besicl.es dis­ posing of much else of a liquid charac­ ter. N e w s of t h e D a y . “Science” says that it is proposed to celebrate the 70th birthday of Prof. August Welsmann, the chief represen­ tative of the opinion that acquired traits cannot be transmitted to off­ spring. It will occur on January 17, 1904. The committee has decided to have prepared for that time a portrait bust of Prof. Weismann, which shall be deposited, at the Zoological Insti­ tute of the TJniversity of Freiburg with appropriate festivities. It invites co-operation in this undertaking, not only from those who owe scientific stimulus to Prof. Weismann and have been guided by him into zoological a< jivity, but also from all colleagues who desire to join in honoring Prof. Weismann for his work. Miss Sldora Sinks, of Marengo, Iowa, has received notice that $500,- 000 was bequeathed to her. -by B. J. Thompson, of Colorado Springs, Thompson was a mine owner and a bachelor when Miss Sinks, with a party of friends, visited Colorado three years ago and became ac­ quainted with him. He was evidently attracted to her. She spent the entire summer in the West and, returnini home, supposed she would never again hear of her middle-aged ad­ mirer. Recently the notice of his death came, with the statement that he had willed his entire estate to her, having Bo heirs. A Brussels journal vouches for the truth of this story told of the recently deceased Belgian, Gen. Brialmont: When he was at work on his “Forti­ fications of our Time,” (which was published in 1885,) he asked permis­ sion of the French authorities to in­ clude some of. their latest plans. He was politely informed that the plans were State secrets, which could not be divulged. Thereupon he went to Berlin and there secured these same plans without any difficulty. A woman with thirteen living hus­ bands, says a dispatch from Kokomo, Ind., to the Chicago Record-Herald, is the claim in a cross-complaint for di­ vorce-filed here recently in which Sarah Pohlman seeks legal separation from Joseph Pohlman. It was al­ leged that eight of the husbands live I in Ohio and five in Indiana. The Hoo- sier spouses are said to be John Tyler, George Eads, Thomas McVeta1 Rich­ ard Johnson, and the cross-complaln- ant, Joseph Pohlman. There are forty-one State univer­ sities in this country, with more than 40,000 students and with an income of $8,000,000. Their work is little known, particularly in the East, and the ar-’ tide by W. S. Tarwood In the Octo­ ber Scribner’s will, therefore, be most timely. The illustrations will show the very good modern architec­ ture of many of the State University buildings. A German is rolling a barrel of wine through Switzerland on a wager.

Asj to the question of the admin­ istration of government men neces­ sarily differ in opinion, but when the great question ot tue deveiope- mentj of the intellectual faculties— the development of that iutangible and {immaterial principle which effects a contradistinction between the bestial and the human—is in­ valuable, then all men, acting up­ on tl|i o dictates of a better judge­ ment should tbror down the gauiUlet and make everything subservient to the one vlea—a larger and broader intellectual cul to re. This is an age of progress and enlightenment and no rational be­ ing t-au expect the childreu of to­ day [to climb the same rugged hei­ ghts) to success as did tbeir fathers or grandfathers; if they do, they surely labor under a delusion, for j while they contemplate the ascension, others with keener axes cut their way around the moun­ tains, scaling the pass ot enligh­ tenment, basking in the dewy meadows and thereby seizing the coveted'prize ere tbeir opponents have even thought of turning the latch-key to the wooded heights. Let ns call a halt and put onr shoulders to the wheel in order that we of Advance may reap some of the results of a latent power re­ awakened. J. NOTICE. STATB OFNOBTH CABOLINA, DAVIECkinnty. 0. G.
