MKi BULLIKS ACQUITTED. The Observer is in receipt of the billowing coinmunioatioli: “Headquarters Republican Ex ecutive Committee, Asheville, N. C., x\.pril 23,1904 llKiiitor Charlotte Observer: ■•My attention haB just been call ed to your editorial in to days {.Tkiturday’s) Obsetver, in which j ou severely criticise and condemn the Republican party in Jforth Carolina. Besides calling the Re publicans of the State “cattle" and •xlierwise insulting thenr, you Mrike an unwarranted insinuation that I catnol permit to go unoticed. You iifk this question in the editoiial referred to: '1Dou1C the men high est-in the couucils of your party (referring to IheRepubliean party) in Xorth Oarolica now sell offices for lmmeyf’ :‘iu justice to myself as chair man of the Repubiicau Staie exe cutive &.mmittee, and in justice to tbo lenders of onr party, I desire to eroph?tieally answer the ques tion, Cu, and to denouuee yonr in sinuation as absolutely false and uiiwan anted. Since my election as State chairman every Fedtral appointment In the State, with the «:-cepiioa of the appointment of !store keepers and gaugers, hits Un1U made practically npon my re- comuicudation, and I challenge you or any one else, to show a sin- fj?t iast.mce wherein any person, ltanpaid a single cent directly or iuilirevily to me or any one else for his oiticc. If any revenue collector postmaster, or any other office-hol- •ler has sold any position under hiui for money, I demand that you Rivc we th J name of such person, with proof, and I will promptly have him removed from office, and will also iecoiamend that he be criminally prosecuted for iniscon- dact. •‘I am as much opposed to cor ruption in politics aud grafting in ’ office as any one, and I here and now Bgain demand that yon com ply with my request, and furnish me with the Darne of the person sel ling offices for money in North Carolina, with the proof, or that you have the manhood to retract the unjust iusiunatiou you have made. THOMAS S. ROLLIKS, iT huirinau RepublicanState Exe- utive Committee.” It is not infrequently the case with a newspaper man that he knows more than it i« proper for liiui to tell. W ith reference to the card above we want to acquit Mr. liulHus of the charge which he is hi swift to take to himself. The charge however, stands, and we sii'iuld be very sorry if there were a power which could Bwear us and coitipel ns to go oil the witness st;iud, because that would embar rass some people very much. We repeat that this accusation did not apply to the Republican State chairman, who was not even in rninu when it was written.—Chai- lutte Observer. About ten days ago the Charlotte Oheerver had an editorial devoted to “.Jufctice” of the Union Repub lican and largely devoted to the 'sVtMhfc of Republicans generally. Tho editor of the Observer claims to he iiniependcnt in politics, and lias hundreds of Republicans we uare say on ita subscription list, yet we would not expect Josephus Daniels to write a more violent or abusive article than the one ap pearing in the Charlotte Observer. Xheeditor speaks of Kepubli- e&us as cattle, and it comes in poor grace from one who edits the lead ing Denucratic paper in the State and who is aware that all the good bc5sI all tha brains and all the woralitj are not to be found in his PartV1 a party that has staffed bal- ,ut boxes, intimidated voters, Wnntetl out Republicans and award e,l Mrtificatea of election to;its own PMty candidates who were riot tJettctl in white counties where * crc "as no fear of ‘‘nigger” do- lniMtion. In the editorial refer reiItotheeditor admits that his er°"(l has been guilty of stealing * eStions but tries to justi fyit. SeIhe (1'Vitn' of lhe Charlotte Ob- IiiLvfr ?n<*ttle Dainocratic machine “ been taught, in a di ftewntj ed. The Bible does not teach us to steal, and commit, perjury in or der to give onr friends the advan tage. If the learned editor of the Observer can refer us to one place in the Bible that tolls us to do evil tbat good may follow, we will ad mit that the end justifys the means. With all th.e professed goodness money and intellect contained in the Democratic party, we prefer being a Republican, and called “cattle” by bigoted partisans than to belong to aparty that brags of its stealings, and has the record of crime all for office that lays at the door of Democracy. Hon. Tbos. S. Rollius calls the editor of the Observer to time in his charges against Republicans, and the Observer says he did not. mean Mr. Rollitis, but continues his veiled charges against Republicans If the editor of the Observer has any information tbat Republicans have sold offices in this State, it’s his duty as a good citizeu to name his man or" men and expose them to the good people. We dare say if the editor of tho Observer will place the proof in the hands of Mr. Rollins the guil ty parties will be exposed and prosecuted, and if office holders, will be dismissed from office iu merited disgrace, Let’s have a decent campaign Bro.- Caltlwell and don’t yon forget that great, men do not Btoop to conqner, Since the Observer has made the charge of office selling to the Re publicans in this State and decli nes to name his man, we have this to say, while we know of no sneh instance, we do know of a certain Democrat trying to buy a Federal office. We have heard it said that the buyer is as bad as the seller, So the Observer can begin acleans ing of its own honsehold before it makes blanket charges against the Republicans. We can name the man without being Bworn. The desire for office is not confined to the Republican party alone. Will the Charlotte Observer please tell its readers what Demo cratic candidate for Congress iu tliic State two years ago, leased a hotel or hotels where the conven tion was held, and paid the bills for the delegates • favorable to his nomi nation, aud also sent money to the various counties to pay the railroad fare of delegates to the Congressional convention, thus de bauching the representatives of the people whose representatives they were. If we are not misinformed more than one candidate did it, and if the Observer will take the pains to consult the files of its pa pers, containing the account of this convention it will find the charge made by its own reprrsentive, who wrote up the proceedings «f that convention. Isn’t it a beautiful spectacle indeed, for a newspaper of the Observers standing to make such charges while its own party machine has done even worse. Look back at the Simmons and Catrcauxpaign in this State in 1900 wher« all sort of rascality was charged, look back at the election of IT. S. Senator in 1903 where charges were made of the nee of undue influence to deteat Cyrus B. Watson the old Confederate vete ran, and then if the Observer’s crowd is without sin let then cou tinue to cast stones. The best men of the EepnbIican party desire to get rid of the cor- iupt men in its party, and its Chairman has called upon the Ob server to name its man or men, but it declines This call by Mr. RollinB is with the desire to get rid of such men if possible, yet the Obser ver is so anxious, as was Senator Money, to make the Republican party odious that it declines to give names. A statesman and patriot desires the good of his country first, and the success of his party is and should be a secondary considera tion. Let’s have a decent cam paign this year, and strive to up lift the morals all along the line. We hear once and awhile some of onr people complaining about the increase in taxc.3. Now we ask the question, WHO DID IT? The Republicans are in control in this connty and have been since Dec.. 1896, The 1902 tax rate in this connty was 72 cents on each $100 of proporty, and SI. 80 on each poll, The 1903 tax rate is 73 cents on each $100 an increase of 3 cents on each $100 of property, poll tax is §2.00 an- increase of 20 cents. Who did it? We Bay the Demo crats did. The Democratic board of education compelled the board of county commissioners to increase the poll tax and the property rate, and that is not the only way the people’s taxes in this connty have been increased. The Democratic legislature of 1903 passed a revenue and machinery act and under its operation the corporation coniis- sioners were sent all over the State to iorce up the value of the pro perty in order to raise more taxes to pay forDemocrotic extravagance in State offices, Now, listen out for explanations, when the cam paign opens. “You pays your money and takes your choice.’,’ i .

Kuroki, has forced a crossing-of the ,Yalu river and Sunday with a gallant charge covering a frontage ot four n))le£, it drove the Russians from Chiu .Tien Ctoag and the heights on the right bank of the Iho or Aida river, which enters the Yalw from tne N otth almost opposite W ijul The Jap anese turned the left flank of the Rus sian position and in the battle of Snn- Vlav they swept the new front inter posed by the Russians cheek their onward movement. present posi tion of the Japanese is a dominating one and they may force the abandon ment of the defenses erected by the Russians at Antnng and oiuer points lower down the river. , Generel Kuroki began the movement on Tuesday by ordering a detiehment of the Imperial Guards division to seize the island of Kurlto, which is in tie Yatu above Wijul and a, detachment oi the second division to sfeize the isl and of ICinUetot which is Situated be low Wiju. The detachment of the Im perial Guards met some resistance, *but it succeeded In cleaving the enemy on1 'and occupied Ivurito Island. The Russians abandoned the island of Kin- teito when attacked b y . the detach ment of the second divisions. The action losses sustained by the detachment of the Imperial Guards is not known, as there is an error- in that part of the message received here referring to the number killed, but 9 of the detachment were severely and 16 slightly wounded. The detachment of the second division which took th® Island of Kinito sustained no losses. !During these movements on the isl and the Russians opened fire on the Japanese with eight guns from a hill behind Chu-Tien-Chein and two Hotch kiss guns which were mounted on the bank pi the river at Kosant where the Russians seemed to have established' tfcfcir headquarters. One battery of Jap anese artillery which had taken a posi tion on a hill to the east of Wiju fired three volleys at Kosan and at I o'clock Tuesday the Russian batteries behind- Chu Cheng opened fire, wounding one Japanese soldier with shrapnel. On Wednesday the bombardment of Wiju was continued, the firiug being at in tervals. The Japanese artillery did not respond to this fact. General Ivuioki has received reports to the effect that the Japanese, loss was small. The Russians shelled the reeonnoit- ering patty from an emplacement in ihe hills in the southeast part of Yo- shoko. This fire ,was without effect. The Russian artillery on the hill behind Chiu-Cheug firing at a high angle, 'opened o n ,Wiju,...where some Japan ese batteries ‘hail taken position.

Salisbury, Special.—It is now known With Certainty that the sudden death of young Henderson Stewart, in this city Wedfiesdays was & case 61 suicide^ effected by the use of stry chnine. This view was held by the physician who was called in, but as the remains were interred yesterday without any actual examination being made, the m atter remained inconclus ive. Since then a bottle of strychnine has been found concealed in the, de ceased JrOung man's bed, and investi gation developed the fact that he had puchased it only a few days before his. dfeitbi JiiS Cap W: Stewart,' o£ Tennysori; Davie county, father of till deceased, is conducting an active in* quiry into the circumstances. It was nt first generally supposed that young Stewart’s death was djie to heart failure, with a piece Cf metal which he had accidentally swallowed recent Iy, as probably a contributing cause Now that facts pointing unmistakably to suicide have been developed, the only m atter for conjecture is the mo tive, which is attributed to bad health.

T - A special to Hie Daily Etlgie nays: Proin all territory in this country Soiitii of parallel forty- two norlii latitude come accounts o ' prospects of the UiOst extraordinarily large yield ever known of the fruits which are especially popuki' w ith the people gbneraliy. ,A'T ’The explanation of such gient ex peetation lies in. the fact that the w eather of this spring lias been sleatf- ilv .cokl and preventive of; the unduly pi'oinotive tem perature wliicli in niauy past years lias advanced ftud ren- 'dered sensitive fruit blossoms, wlncit were afterw ard blighted by late frosts. As the season has progressed, this ■ rear, the w eather lias remained cold enough'.to retard sap circulation, until the fruit germs were safe from harm uuder respective climatic conditions. Consequently, unless some disaster not possible to foresee should fall upon the crops the expectation now enter tained IS fully justified by circum stances: . . , . ,,The ttrst among the highly palatable fruits to ripen, strawberries. Sre al ready coming to this Jnarltefc freely from South Carolina and North Caro lina. In the Chattanooga district of Tennessee the crop is about ready to ship, It will greatly exceed last year s yield, whicil w as KjO1OOO crates, or upward of a,000,000 quarts. Mary land Delaware, New Jersey and Ivew York, from which this city Mecives its heaviest supplies, are all backward- on account of the late spring, but erudi tions of the straw berry plants iu each are most satisfactory. A few early blossoms in the two States first nam^S have been nipped by the.frost, as has ever beeil the case, but the bloom for the crops is regiafded as safe beyond peradventure in known comprehension. In the m atter of peaiUies the outlook in Georgia is phenomenal. The bulk of the early peaches is produced in that State and the accounts concern ing its probable extent are all that could be desired by the great mass of peacli Sppfeciators, The fru it Trade Journal has kept up during the season knowledge of the Georgia {irospect, from which it appears tbat though there have been vicissitudes of w eath er in that State as well as elsewhere over the country, their severity has been insufficient to w ork Injury, and that perhaps the effect, whatever it is, will prove beneficial rather than the reverse. The latest report of a cold snap in Georgia w as when the tem perature fell tp. thiftjNtijlllt de grees. There ,.was, !MshsVer^iiijmedi- ate l'etm'n to' w arm er weather, and iast week's? accounts reported the crop uninjured iu both South and North Georgia. If present indications arc borne out to conclusion of shipmen' it. would seem that the entire Georg I yield inust rt|)nl'OKimnte to 5000 CM loads. Perhaps the most Satisfactory ac count upon the two fruits mentioned herein w as rendered by AVailabout M erchant Samiiel I.ippmann, -who had just returned from a ten days' inves tigation of fruit conditions on the Delaw are and Maryland peninsular and southern Kcw Jersey. He saldi “Tell the Eagle readers that they are goiug to have the most straw berries aud peaches this year-they over had. The peach- trees are full of the plumpest and soundest fruit buds that any or- chardist on the peninsular can remem ber. Beyond w hat I could see for my self tlie grower* told me that there never was so favorable a spring for fruit bud safety as tliii, and that they could not imagine w hat could prevent them having the greatest, crop tbf* year of any in the history of lWseIr fa* inous pencil producing territory.” Asked about the -strawberry pro*- peets iu- the districts Ue visited, Mr. Lippmann said they were equally good with those of peaches, but that the ripening period will be soiUewiiat lat er than usual unless the w eathel should suddenly warm up and become especially promotlvc.. General reports on plums and otlie;- fruits are highly encouraging of ex pectation of plentitude In them as well, but it is rather early for such con clusion to be determinate.

I had severe shooting pains throught the pelvic .organs, cramps and extreme irritation com pelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor said that I had ovarian trouble and ulceration, and advised an.operation. I strongly objected to this and decided to try Lydia E . Pinkliam’s Vegetable Compound. I soon found that my judgment was correct, and that all the good things said about this medicine were true, and day by day I felt less pain and increased appetite. The ulceration soon healed, and the other complications disappeared and in eleven weeks I was once more strong and vigorous and perfectly well. “My heartiest thanks are sent to yon for the great good you have, done me.”— Sincerely yours, Miss M a rg a rb t M e rk le y , 276 Third St., .MilwaukeerWis. ifliss Claussen Saved from a Surgical Operation. “ D e a r M rs.

I know that it saved my life and I want- to give the credit where it belongs. I suf fered with ovarian trouble for five years, had three operations and spent hundreds of dollars on doc tors and medicines but this did not cure me after all.“However, what doctors and medicines failed to do, Lydla E. Pinkhaiu’s Vegetable Com pound did.. Twenty bottles restored me to per fect health and I feel sure that had I known of its value before, and let the doctors alone, I would ", . have been spared all the pain , and expense that !fruitless operations cost me.

SitddeuIy a slight explosion took place and at the same time the doctor expe rienced a sharp pain In bis band. Upon examination lie found that the bot- Iinn of his pocket was burned out and that Iiis under linen was much scorched, 'while one of his fingers was also injured. He remembered that he had carried :n bis pocket for koine days two pas- iIt-s containing chlorate of potash and one pastile containing chlorate of sugar. The last named was broken into little pieces, while of the potash pastiles one ,was intact but no trace ■ ouid be found of the other. Tt seems that the doctor had rubbed the chlo rate of potash pastile against the chlorate of sii|ar pastile and that at the point of contact a small Quantity of explosive powder had been formed. This bad ignited, w ith'the result that the chlorate of potash pastile had been instantly decomposed. Its a queer kind of humility that leads a man to hide his light when the lost are seeking it. There is always hope for a man so long as he can look at things with the eyes of a child. 1'eeding malice is fostering murder. Men differ not so much in Iiici, faith as In their phrases.

VViU N o t U xienly D e c la re F o r F re e T ra d e , B u t VVtll A geail V ro te ctio u l>y W h o le sa le T a riff K e d u ctio n g a n d a G e n era l S ch em e oF R e c ip ro c ity , Il seems to be a settled fact that the •tariff will form the priueipal issue iu the campaign of 1904. The issue will,, however, be presented in a somewhat altered form. JCot again, vvc think, will the country be asked this year to decide between protection and free trade. Evidences abound that the Democratic party is not going to repeat the blunders of past platforms by de nouncing protection as a robbery and a crime, a scheme of organized plunder whereby the few are enriched at the expense of the many. In the past eight years something lias been learned' by tbe party of which it has been said that it never learns and never, forgets. It has been discovered, among other things, that the sentiment of a large majority of the voting masses is favor able to the general proposition that it is a wise thing to conserve and main tain an internal trade amounting to thirty billion dollars annually, and that it is an unwise tiling to give to foreign ers privileges aiid opportunities in this vast m arket that w ill curtail domestic production, employment and wages. Realizing the folly of attempting to overturn a fiscal system whose fruits have so strpngly commended them selves to popular approval, the Demo crats will not, presumably, antagonize protection to the extent of calling for a repeal of all tariff duties levied for pro tective purposes, They will not under, fake to storm the oitadei and carry it by open assault. To do that would ho to ritsh to certain defeat and disaster. In their plan of campaign for 1904 they will resort to strategy and indirect methods of attack. They will adopt the underground approach, and by the tactics of the sappers and miners will endeavor to weaken the wall In spots,, not to destroy it all at one blow. To proclaim the abuses of protection will be one of their biggest mines, one of their highest explosives. They will point to the trusts and demand that these aggregations of industrial pro duction be forthwith deprived of all the benefits of protection. This they are sure to do despite of the faet that the same torpedo that blows up the trusts will inflict far greater damage and destruction upon that very impor tant part of our industrial production which is wholly outside of trust con tra]. B nt they will have smashed do mestic industry and turned over the m arket to foreigners. Another underground passage to the base of protection's walls will be chosen by the Democrats in the shape of a general scheme of reciprocity in competitive products. This strategical mode of assault has gained great favor with the Democratic tacticians. By its employment they expect to gain some reinforcements through deser tions from Republican ranks. In this they will probably be disappointed, but they are quite certain to try it. If, as now seems certain, the Demo cratic plan, of campaign for 3.904 is to embrace;tariff reduction as a means of dealing WiUi the trusts, and tariff re duction through reciprocity arrange ments as a means of insuring an in creased inflow of foreign competitive products, it should follow,, and we think it will follow as a m atter of course, that the Republican plan will be to meet the issue squarely by refus ing to smash the protective tariff be cause of tbe trusts and by refusing to countenance free trade on the install ment plan by providing for reciprocity in competitive products. Republicans know that the best way to keep protec tion is to fight for it. They know, too, that all the advantages of position are theirs, and that in the facts of the past seven years of prosperity: the best weapons and tbe most .effective ammu nition are in their possession. Retain ing these advantages and making good use of them, they cannot fail to win the fight. . . Sword Captured at Bunker Hllll. Winfield W. Brown of Dover, N.

The output of these fac tories was 313,039,270,300. Xew York leads the list with 78,563 plants, Penn sylvania second with 52.185.

This State has more factories aud em ploys more people iii them than all the other States, except Xew York, Penn* sylvania, Illinois, Massachusetts, Ohio, Xew Jersey, Missouri, Iudiana, Wis consin and Michigan; A protective tariff makes it possible for Iowa factories to live and offer cm. pioyment to 64.217 people.

Raleigh.—In the case of Calvin Garland, sheriff of M itchell county who wiis accused of speculating in county claims, the opinion revers es the lower court, declaring Gar land innocent of any violation of the law. The sheriff, who is a Republican was indicted for. speculating in county claims. H is contention was that he was purchasing the claims at a sum less than the face value under the direction of the Board of County Commissioners. A speeial verdict was agreed upon by the jury, finding certain facts upon which Judge Long adjudged that the defendant was guilty and sen tenced him to pay a fine of §50 and costs. From this judgement Gar land appealed.— YVinstou Journal. Mr. Garland is the Republican sheriff ot Mitchell county, a county that gives 1200 Republican majority. H is defense before the superior court was a good defense and should have acquitted him, but under Judge Long he was con victed, but the Supreme court says he was not guilty but innocent.

These Democratic partisara Judge like Judges XeaI are having the commissioners in nearly every Republican county they go to indicted for not building new court houses aud vaults etc. It was tried in this county.

Tokio, By Cable—Vice Admiral To go's official recital of the latest en gagement off Port Arthur, "which was received here Sunday, shows that the Japanese have blocked the entrance to the harbor. On Tuesday morning after the blockading flotilla had been scattered by a gale and the commander of the flotilla had signalled in vain that the attempt be abandoned pending the moderation of the storm, the crews of the separate vessels, in no wise daunted by the weather which isolated them from their companions, proceed ed to the work on their own desperate initiative. They forced their way In the face of the Russian fire, which was more deadly than ever before, as a result of the improved Russian de fenses, over the field of mines. Many of them exploded, yet five of the Japanese blockading ships were jam med into the channel and now pre vent egress -from the harbor to all craft excepting small boats. This at tack exceeded all its predecessors in desperation and the courage displayed by the volunteer crews is equal to that shown in any event in the war history of the world. Although Vice Admiral Togo again avoided damage to a single one of his vessels, the attack proved to be ex pensive in lives. Commander Haya- shi, who was in command of the-ex pedition. observed the impossibility of keeping tile flotilla intact, owing to the heavy seas, and signalled to abandon the attack. These signals were repeated until 2 or 3 o’clock in the morning, but they failed to reach the vessels of the ex pedition, which were swept apart by the tempestuous sea and proceeded separatiy to the mouth of the harbor. Driver. From New Chwang. New Chwang, By Cable.—There is every indication that the Russians have decided to evacuate New Chwang. Troops kav been leaving here all day long. Forts have been d smantled and ail artillery has been placed on board trains. All the local transportation has been commanded by the Russian authorities.' There is current here a native rumor that Japanese troops are in Fou Chou Bay (on tho west side of the Liao Tung peninsula, and about sixty miles north of Port Arthur), but this report lacks confirmation. . a e|h(e(Hrerda,tffs,cB.yedaeibhaijvvo The fear is held here that if the Russians leave and the Japanese do not a t‘once take possession of New Chwang, the brigandsr who are now across the river near Yin Kow, will pillage the place. The foreign resi dents are prepared to resist the bri gands should they come over. The British consul has requested that a gunboat be sent to New Chwang. The Russians probably will destroy the gnnboat Si.voutch before leaving. The vessel is-at New Chwang. Japanese troops fired on what was probably the last train out of Port Arthur as it passed near Port Adams. They used artillery and small armsi and killed or wounded several Chi nese. It is reported here that Viceroy Alexieff was slightly wounded prior to his departure from Port Arthur. He barely escaped from there before the Japanese closed the lines of com munication. Tlie Rnssian general staff - have moved from Liao Yang to Mukden. Russians here will not talk of the sit uation, for fear that they will impart some information. They do not con sider that their forces here are suffi cient to hold this section of the coun try. It is probable that the Russian troops will withdraw to Harbin. The Russian civilians at New Chwang are leaving hurriedly, .and many natives are fleeing the city in fear that they will be subjected to mal-treatment at the hands of the brigands. More Bad News for RUssia, Two official dispatches calculated to increase the depression existing among all circles in Russia were givfeh out Sunday night. From the point of view of the progress of the campaign, the most important is that regarding the capture by the .Japanese without oppo sition of Feng Wang Cheng, on May 6th. The second gives details con cerning the killed, wounded and miss ing among the troops under the com mand of Lieutenant General ZaSsalitchi as the result of the fighting on the Yalu, the number of which totals 2,397 officers and men. Gen. Kuropatkin forwarded a mes sage from Lieutenant General Zas- salitch, who had' been left In command of the column retiring from Feng Wang Cheng, which described the movements of the enemy ifi cOflfiection with the Occupation of the town. The information caused no surprise to the officials who had already been advised of the decision that no at tempt would be made to hold Feng Wang Cheng, the superiority of the Japanese in all fighting arms ensuring a disaster similar to that a Kiu Lien Cheng. Therefore, (Sen. Zassalitch was given strict orders that Iherfe should be UO fight of the fear guard. The Russians left while Gen. Kuroki was making his dispositions for a big battle. More Casualties. Tokio, By Cable —The casualties in the last attempt of the Japanese fleet to block Port Arthur, which took place on May 3, are one officer, Commander Takyangi, commanding the steamer Yedo Marn, and six men killed, four men seriously and five officers and Xl men slightly wounded. Fourteen Otii- -ers and 74 men are missing and eight officers and 36- men were rescued unin jured.

They secured the assistance of one of the negro employes, but another negro who . was approached, while pre tending to enter into the scheme, gave it away to Mqehan and the other white mtn. Friday night, after the money had .been deposited in the safe, a guard was put out, and when the two white men and the negro came up with their safe cracking tools, they were halted.

The increase of the acreage in cotton at the penitentiary farm near Weldom i3 to be very great, from 1,300 to 1,800 acres. There is certainly a large in crease in; acreage in this section. Very little cotton has come up,, and that which has appeared shows the poor stand. Much has not germinated. When it starts all will practically come up together, and this, a Httledater on,, will increase the labor problem, as there will be quite a rush to secure labor, al ready so very scarce. A charter is granted to The Argus Publishing Company, at- Lumberton, capital stock $10,000. O. J. Peterson be ing the principal stockholder, to pub lish books and do general printing. State Botanist General McQarthy has letters from the Great ChcinIcal Man ufacturing Company, desiring the bark of thfe cotton plant. Prices have been raised, and it is now 20. cents per pound: Mr. McCarthy says that farm ers are simply throwing away money by their failure to utilize the bark. By pulling up the cotton plants and get ting off the bark they caff, dispose of the latter at a high flgujfe, and then, by burning the plant in-heaps, they gfet rid of a great many Insects which do damage to the crops, so that in ev ery way the operation is very profit able.

Sandy Springs, Md.—Five masked find hefiviiy armed men made a des perate attempt tfi loot the vault of the sandy Sprifigs Saviflgs Bank at I a, m. Their planS irfere' fiatfied fiut ifl ti’ufe Western Styife; After the drift, fexpiori siou; Whieh partly, wrecked the’ big steel vault, in which there” was nearly $200,000 ta cash, a hastily organized vigilance committee of citizens ap peared on the scene and the robbers fled, covering their retreat by a fusil lade of revolver and rifle shots. The vigilance committee replied with re volvers and shot guns and the running fight continued through the main streets of the little town, and several miles out in the country, where the desperadoes scattered and escaped, • Within the past two years several Unsuccessful attempts have bfefefl made tfi rob the Savings bank. It is gener ally kndwn. that the institution is wealthy, arid tlifit large Sums Of money are constantly kept on hand. Sandy Springs is a Quaker settlement, aud the farmers and even their hired bands are thrifty:Last week three Strangers came to town and put up at the best lidtel.- They were plentifully supplied with money and spent it freely, but for one reason or another Sandy Springs was not favorably impressed. It was no ticed that the strangers very frequent ly had money changed In the savings bank and that they Seemed to be ex tremely iriterfeS'tfed.iii. the vaults and ifl the architecture of the buudiflg; Last Saturday they left town. Ori the night of the attempt at robbery, T. L. Thomas, the Secretary of the bank, was walking toward his home, about a mile outside of Sandy Springs. He came across five men, three of them carrying satchels, and all of them masked; walking in the direction fif the bank; Thfe irifen did not see ilr. Thomas, and he immediately left the main road and took a short cut back tfi the town, where he hurried up and down the street like a twentieth century Paul Revere, arousing the citizens and urg ing them to make for the savings bank with all the heavy artillery they could get together on such short notice. Sandy Springs is not a very big place, and it was not very long before scantily clad men aud boys, some of them armed .fiiid some of them not, were hur rying from theif iifiinfeS and making on the run for the savings bank bfiiid- ing. But before any of them reached it there, was a terrific explosion which shattered the windows of the houses on Main street near the bank. One of the excited vigilantes fired his shotgun at long range and this started a fusillade which lasted fully half an houy. The five bank robbers replied with rifles and revolvers as they re treated toward the open country, and the main street In the morning looked as if. it had been gone over with a fnr- tovnNot a citizen waS evfefl touched by a bullet, however, and the -robbers were not hurt, either. At any rate, they got away. When the bank vault was examined, it was found that a charge of nitro glycerine had been inserted in holes drilled around the lock. Tlie door was partly wrecked, but the hinges and lock held, and before the burglars bad time to fire a secoud charge, the vigi lance committee arrived on the scene. Siindy Springs, which, in addition to being a Quaker settlement, is operated 6ri the community of interest plan, was made the subject of a lengthy report by the Bureau of Labor several years ago. It was pointed out as a model settlement of its kind. The Friends in SariiJy Springs treat their laborers well, provide them with homes, pay them well, and see that they save a fair pro portion of their wages. OLD RANGE FIGHT BREAKS OUT.

Some time ago I promised to write you a piece on turkey raising. To be successful, the greatest care should be taken with them while young, They can't stand rain or dews it is best to have a house to keep tiienl ih at and durihg wet weather, t iisiiaily keep ihe heus UouiiUed tor two weeks and let the Httlti turkeys have access to the sunshine. The best food fol‘ them the first two weeks is boiled eggs mixed with scraps from the table with a small sprinkle of black pepper. I don't give any raw food to my little turkeys l'or the first two weeks. They should have plenty of fresh water, I have been raising turkeys for twen ty years, but never realised much profit Until the past few years. At first I had the common breed, but became so interested in turkey rais ing that I ordered me a Maiuinoth Bronze tom from New Jersey, which cost me $6.50. That seems dear for one torn, but it has doubly paid me. There should be some nicely ar ranged nests where intruders cannot molest them while setting. Tobacco dust is the best thing to prevent lice, sprinkled thick In the nests. The turkeys lay in the plantation, and when they arc ready to set we bring them home. There should hot be over twenty eggs to eac-h turkey hen. The first week in May is the best time for them to hatch. I once set a-turkey and did not have enough eggs so I let her set one week, then put chicken eggs under her. The turkey hatched four chicks. They roamed over the plantation with the turkeys, and were very thrifty and grew fast. We used all of them for the table but one speckled hen. She got grown but never stopped go ing with the turkeys. She would come home to lay, then roam over the plantation and find the turkeys. She laid one time with the turkeys off from home in the same nest. All tur key raisers know how hard it is to find the nests, as they lay sometimes a half mile from home. Would you believe it? that lien learned when a turkey laid, to cackle until we found the nest. We should not try to prevent tur keys from roaming, for their disposi tion to roam is the cause of the fine flavor of tbeir meat. Toil will notice that turkeys eat ver.v deliberately, taking a bite here and there as though it were a serious matter; and walking slowly along as they feed, thus insuring exercise and great variety in their food. My turkeys brought me $140. I bor rowed the money from my wife to help pay the “fertilizer bill,” as I raise tobacco.—W. -II. Cbamblee1 Sr., of Wakefield, X c., In the Progressive Farmer, Ferttlizev For Cotton- The following fertilizer formulas are well adapted for use by cotton farm ers, and should be used at the rate of SW to 500 pounds per acre, The per cent of the various forms of plant food they contain is also shown, and the farmer, in purchasing goods for use on cotton lands next spring, should insist ou their containing the percent ages indicated, for these formulas have been tried by a number of the experi ment stations, and found to be the most satisfactory for cotton production: 1. For sandy soils which are likely to be most deficient In potash; SOO pounds acid phosphate, fourteen' per cent.; 1000 pounds cotton seed meal, six per cent; nitrogen; 100 pounds muriate of potash, fifty per cent. This would give a fertilizer contain ing 5.6 per cent, of available phosphor- ric acid, 8.3 per cent, of nitrogen, and five per cent, of potash. 2. For lands deficient in acid phos phate and potash, but fairly well sup plied with nitrogen: 1200 pounds acid phosphate, fourteen per cent.; 650 pounds cotton seed meal, six per cent, nitrogen; 150 pounds muriate of pot ash, fifty per cent. This would give 8 fertilizer contain ing 8.4 per cent phosphoric acid, 2.1 p er’cent, of nitrogen, and 3.7 per cent, of potash. 3. For soils well supplied with pot ash, but deficient in nitrogen and phos phoric acid: 1000 pounds acid phos phate, fourteen per cent.; 900 pounds cotton seed'meal, six per cent.; 100 pounds of muriate of potash, fifty per cent. This would give a fertilizer contain ing-seven per cent, phosphoric acid, three per cent, nitrogen, and 2.5 per cent, potash.—Southern Agriculturist. Conditioning as a Preventive. The farmer that will keep his hogs properly conditioned is best equipped with a preventive against all diseases that may be taking the rounds. In an experience of over twenty years as a breeder, the -writer has never had so*- called hog cholera or swine plague in his herd. And there is no doubt but that the ravages of this disease could to a large degree be eliminated; were the proper measures resorted to to keep tiie imgs iii good condition;' Hogs that have unlimited range iii the woods hardly ever are attacked by contagious diseases. On the range they pick up such things as the stomach in stinctively craves that the system re quires and the animals' health is thus kept in perfect condition.. . Salt and ashes should be provided for the hogs at all times. And ih the woods they eat a great deal of roiteit Wood and also charcoal, left by forest fires. Charcoal should always be ac cessible and that made from burnt cobs is the best, aud hogs eat tt ravenously. Charcoal is a great ab sorbent of noxious gases in the ali mentary canal, being a great aid to the digestion as well as a great bowel regulator. IJnseed oil meal in limited quanti ties is not only a fine conditioner, but also a most nutritious food in eon.iuac- tion with starchier foods. It may not be known to some, too, that a great many of the widely adver tised stock foods arc composed largely of linseed oil meal, and their condition ing effects are due largely to this-in gredient they contain.—Southern Agriculturist. How to flake Corn. To make large yields of corn, we must prepare the soil deep aud fine. Corn roots grow five to six feet down In the earth if we give them a chance. The liardpfi n must be broken. Corn needs a great deal of water aud goes down to find it. It also needs plenty of food and goes down to find that. If the soil is deep—the kardpan en tirely destroyed—it will find both. Another important point, is plenty of stalks. IVe can not make heavy crops with a few stalks. We should have from six to eight thousand stalks per acre. Corn needs plenty of space for root development, but needs cubic space rather than-square space. Six teen feet of square space with a soil three inches deep will not make as Ueaiy ears as four feet of square space four feet deep. The latter fur nishes so much more wafer and food. Corn roots run through all the soil, hence the manure should be broadcast. Corn grows. only so long. Its sea son of growth can not be indefinitely extended as cotton can. For this rea son the culture should be rapid and shallow. No roots should be cut. off and no crust, should be allowed. Keen a good dust blanket and corn will de velop vigorously. The weeder at the beginning and the. dust-board after ward are great helps in making large yields of corn. In fertilizing, not much nitrogen is needed. Select a good variety and follow these hints and you will find it easy to get from fifty to seventy bushels per acre. j Continue to Plant Corn. With cotton at fifteen to sixteen cents a pound and a good prospect of going higher, wo very naturally feel inclined to plant largely of this crop. And there is no harm in doing so. But there is danger that we will cut down the acreage in corn. This would be a great mistake. Oiu1 present prosperity is largely due to the fact thgt we have begun to raise more corn and. other food crops. We should by all means continue this policy. It is not too late to plant corn: Vre can adopt the Aldrich system and plant two rows in corn and two rows in oflon alternately. -Vs the corn will mature much earlier than the cotton, especially if we cut, the corn for shred ding, we can make almost a full crop ot cotton as well as corn. A heavy corn and hay crop this year insures- the continued prosperity of the South ern farmer. We have never had such a prospect open before us. Bet us be sure that we do not spoil this pros pect by planting small provision ,crops. With the improved methods of cul tivation and the improved implements we can cultivate large areas in com and hay and truck even if the labor supply is short. But be sure yon do not sell your cotton before you gather it—Southern Cultivator. , — ---------------- “ -fct -IJ Top Dressing Grain. I We are very often asked the ques tion, will top dressing grain pay? Yes. Nitrate of soda, a t the 'rate of 100. pounds per acre, sown on as soon as the grain is large enough to hide the ground, will pay on any small grain. It will pay even as late as three weeks before cutting the grain. It is best to put nitrate on just at sundown or just: before or during a shower. If the nitrate is in coarse par ticles it should be beat up or ground in an old coffee mill. If made fine it dissolves very quickly. Top dressing will often double the crop.—Southern Cultivator. News of the Day. Mrs. Claude Wataey, a London wo man, has broken all feminene records by refusing- to pay for a miniature ■because it makes her look too young. The miniature was done' by a well-. known artist who was to receive $2,000 for the work. But Mrs. Wat- ney declares that the artist made her look like sweet sixteen’ and therefore ridiculous, and that the portrait, al though pretty, is'very unlike herself, fjehde the refuse} to pay by the sitter and - a suit to recover by. the artist. The.sacred scarabei, little Egyptian Charms, are manufactured by a Con necticut firm. They are carved and chipped-by machinery, colored in bulk made to simulate age, and; skipped in casks to the Moslem dealers at Cairo. The Arabian guides are the chief buy ers. mahv of them being adepts at "sailing" the sands at the base of the pvramids. or about the sacred temples, where they artfully discover these scarabei before the very eyes of the Yankee tourist and sell him for an American dollar an article that cost less than a : cent perhaps within- a stone’s throw of his own home. Minor Events. It is entirely too easy to get married and. unmarried in this great and glori ous .land of the free.

Theconspiracy case against Y . M cBeeandK. S'. Finch came p in Wake Superior Satnrday af- ernoou before Judge Geo. H . roivi). A Baleigh special to the Vilmiugton Star says the testimo- j- offeied was primarily for the urposeof quashing the bill of in- irtmeut or securing a continnance f the trial to the next term of ourt, but the affidavits also con- joiued disclostires regarding the nanagement of the railroad, in which the State is thalargest stock - iolilcr aud therefore responsible "or its operation. Counsel for the defendant made "our motions: That the solicitor be -.iriicred to file a'bill of particulars; that the iudictment be quashed; i hat the action be dismissed on the ground that the matter is only cog nizable in the Federal Court, aaff that the case be continued until (lie ucxt term, provided the other motions were not granted. Judge Brown, after hearing the affidavits and argument, (stated that he would take the first three motious under advisement until Monday, but stated that if he did not ([Hash the bill, he would cer tainly giant the continuance. An affidavit by W . W . Clark set l'orth all the facts with refer ence to the alleged agreement be tween the counsel for the defence aud Governor Ayeock to drop the prosecution of Finch and McBee, provided the receivership suit as brought would be abandoned. It recited \Y. S. O’B. Robinson's cmiversatiou with Governor Ay- cuck and Judge Robinson's asser tion that the Governor told him: •’You cau tell your associates any thing yon want to about the agree ment and I’ll back you.” The affidavit of Captain McBee, formerly receiver of (he railroad under the order of the Federal Court, was read and it proved a warm document. After stating the nwessity for a continuance to se cure witnesses, it stated some of the allegations he desired to prove Among the number were that the railroad under the present State management was not earning suf ficient revenue to pay a dividend, maintain the road bed or provide the necessary equipment; that the road is being “run largely as a po litical machine;” that employes are fostered on the road to pay political obligations; thatcoutracts for supplies are made at extrava gant prices, numerous free passes are given m defiance of law, For serving on the proxy committee, 34 pa-.ses are issued, 14 of these to persons not even stockholders. Aapt. McBee futhev sets out that. ■»4 prominent politicians (only eight of whom live on the line of the road) are given passes as attorneys and uanies them in his affidavit. He fntlier desires to prove that the contract for oil was made w ith the Rational Oil Company at excessive Iignres aud a representative of the oil company was given a pass over fhe railroad as traveling represeu tative. He states he can prove excessive contract was made with Bi J an Ives to furnish wood for the load and the railroad loaned Ives the money to equip his plant Among other charges are: That 11 agents are short in their accounts; much freight is hauled without be- *ng billed; the road had earned more under receivership manage ment than under present control; Ihe present management is detri mental to stockholders; that cer tain receipts are misspent or diver- led as in the case of the Morehead botel, which he charged lost $8 ,OOO last season; that prominent men and their families boarded, wmed and dined at the hotel free of ( barge; that the value of stock ad vanced when the receiver was ap pointed. Iished are several lawyersliving in western Kortli Carolina. Affidavits are presented from J. E. Turner manager of the Atlantic Hotel last year, and Mary Baker, an employe of the hotel under Turner, alleging that under ordinary management and care the hotel would have done well, but under instructions from FresidentBryan, of the rail road many persons were entertain ed at the hotel free of cost and others were entertained at a very low rate. It is one side of it. It is now up to the management of the railroad to show that these, things are not true.—Statesville Landmark, COST OF LIVING IN !90S. • The cost of living in 1903 was greater than at any other period in the past thirteen years—so an nounces Mr. Carroll D- W right, of the Federal Bureau of Labor. This applies to nearly every article of food and raiment, as well as to rents and fuel. Farm products were on an average 121 per cent, higher.—W inston Sentinel. The Sentinel should have told its readers who gets the benefit of this raise? The farmers get the benefit and you will hear no kicking from our farmer friends for this increase in price of their products. I tis perfectly natural when the farmer gets a higher price for his products the consumer will have to pay more for what he buys. The low er you put the price of food pro ducts, the better yon w ill please the consumer of these products, who has to buy them of the farmer but you do not increase the farm ers income, and make it easier for him to live, pay his faxes and sup port his family. Y et we will no doubt hear our Democratic friends telling their town constituents that the tariff is the canse of the high price of lloui!, bacon, eggs and other products grown and raised by the farmers, but when they get out among the farmers they will congratulate them on the good prices they are getting for their products, and .will no doubt tell them its due to the adminstration of Mr. Ayeock.

It is a matter of principle and there is no place for the adage that honesty is the best policy, if we mean by this to be honest in all transactions simply because it will work out profit for us in the end. The consideration of personal pro fit is not to sw ayn sjn the ques tion of deciding to do right. It is of course gratifying to find onr transactions yielding a profit while we adhere to a course of conscien tious honest dealing, but the man of integrity and uprightness is represented in the 15tb Psalm as Bwearing to his own hurt and changing not.—Christian Advocate NOTICE.

Beaufort, Special—Robt M. Furman1 editor of the Raleigb Post, died sud . denly here Thursday morning. Mr. Furman arrived here with bis 12-year- old daughter for a few days’ recuper ation at the Davis House. Thursday morning he was in his usual health and went out in a boat, accompanied by his daughter. At 10:30 o’clock, after his return from the boat, the chambermaid heard groaning in his room and found him struggling on the floor. Sho called assistance, which reached the deceased about five min utes before the end. Dr. Duncan was sent for, but life was extinct before bis arrival. Mr. Furman’s little dau ghter had gone on to. the annual Methodist and Baptist Sunday school picnic at encampment ground, Caro lina City. A boat was immediately sent to inform her of her sad afflic tion. Th© body was prtepa^ed for burial and at 3 o’clock a special train, kindly furnished by President Bryan1 of the Atlantic & North Carolina rail- - road, started on its journey to Ral eigh with the body from Morehead City. A Life Sketch. His death was due, it is said: to heart disease. It was thought before he left Raleigh that he was threatened with catarrh of the stomach. His heart was examined several days ago and was said to be all right. He was very weak and had been so for some weeks, and finally broke down. There never was a more faithful worker than he, and as a man and a citizen he was a model, conservative, dignified and full of love for his State and his people. He was a native of Frank Iin county, and on the 2d of next September would have been 57 years old. He was, during the civil war, a lieutenant of Junior Reserves. He established the Franklin Times at Louisburg after having spent some time In Raleigh as one of the staff of the famous Daily Sentinel, then edited by Josiah Turner, and he saw some stirring scenes in the reconstruc tion days. In 1872 he and Jordan Slone went l'rom there and establish ed The Asheville Citizen. For 15 years he was reading clerk of the State Senate and was at one time one of the handsomest, ablest and most affable officers ever in the capitol. He served as State Auditor during the administration of Governor Carr and filled this position with the ability and zeal which marked everything he did. On the 1st of December, 1897, lie became the editor of the well-estab lished Morning Post, of Raleigh, and his work on that paper was uniform ly of a high order to the very last He leaves a wife and six children. One of his sons, Robert, is on the auxiliary cruiser Yankee, at the League Island navy yard, Philadelphia; another, George, is at Washington, D. C. daughter, Mrs. H. S. Robinson, is in Baltimore; the three other children— Molly, Hilliard and Eva—being at Raleigh. North State Paragraphs. Seventeen young men were graduated from the N. C.

Sheriff Edwards of Alleghany county, offers a reward of $100 for the capture of Fred Johnson, who killed a man named Keesler, in Alleghany, a few days ago. Johnson was arrested but escaped Sunday. During a fight between Keesler and Johnson, the Iat- tef was seriously if not fatally stabbed in the abdomen by Keesler’s brother. Samples of the ore from the mine at -Indian Trail, Mecklenburg county, were exhibited in Charlotte Wednes day. The ore is very. rich in gold, lead and copper, assaying about $90 to the ton. The free gold is extracted by a stamp mill, but a smelter will be required for the other metals. The owners of the mine are well pleased with the developments so far and are convinced that they have a good thing. The jury in the Madison murder trial case in Asheville has returned a verdict finding all three of the de fendants guilty of murder in the second degree.

The Synod Adjourns After a Profitablo ‘ Session. Salisbury, Special—The North Caro lina Evangelical Lutheran Bynod, which has been holding its annual ses sion at Christiana church, seven miles from here, was adjourned Sunday at I o'clock by Her. Dr. George H. Cox, its president. The morning session was taken up in the . ordination of Messrs. George H. L. Lingle, C. R. Cress and E. P. Conrad. A magnifi cent sermon, appropriate to the ser vices, was preached by the Rev, Dr, J. A. Morehead, president Of Roanoke (Va.) College. Dr. Morehead took his text from. St. Paul’s second epistle to the Corinthians, 4th chapter and 5th verse: “For we preach not ourselves,' but Christ Jesus as Lord and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.” Af ter Dr. Morehead’s sermon, which was only 30 minutes long, the ordination took place. Rev. Dr. Cox, Rev. Messrs. J. H. Wilson, C. B. Miller, N. D. Bodie, V. Y. Boozer and F. M. Harr assisted ir. it. The tremendous congregation could not nearly be seated ,and Rev. Mr. Boigbt held service in the open air. After dinner, Rev. N. B. Bodie was installed as pastor of the Church In which the Synod was held. The proposition to consolidate the North Carolina and the Tennessee Synods received no action at this meeting. Had this been accomplished the strength of the Synod would have been almost doubled.

The precipitation, however, was very Irregularly distributed In the central portion Of the State Whefe drought ib quite severe in many interior counties. tVhlle the rainfall on the 6th and 7th was general, the amount was too small to thoroughly wet the soil, though it was beneficial to young vege tation Eind greatly helped the germina tion of seeds. The temperature was again below normal this week, espec ially in the eastern portion of the State, with a general deficiency of nearly two degrees; warmer .weather set in on the 6tb> Low temperatures and dry weather have prevented i:apid germination; crops are coming up ir regularly and growing slowly. The week was very favorable for farm work, which is well up nearly every where; more and better plowing than usual, was accomplished. Cotton has all been planted in many counties, in others planting is still In progress; comparatively little cotton Is- up yet, and that which is up is not making rapid growth, oh account of IoW temperatures, and lack of suffi cient fiolsture. Cotton is mostly too small for chopping. Corn planting is approaching completien, except on up lands and In extreme northern and western counties; the dry, cool weath er is also having a bad effect on com; good stands are not general, but the crops are looking very well Ifl counties where the rainfall Was more abund ant, In the extreme south portion, Robeson and Brunswick counties, early corn is being plowed the first time. A few complaints of damage by bud'worms have been received. To bacco plants are growing, slowly, and some damage by the fly is reported; farmers took advantage of the show ers on the 6th to set out ffiafly plants, though they afe smdli. some peanuts have been planted. Wheat, oats and rye continue backward in growth and need rain badly; a number of corres pondents report that these crops ap pear to be heading low. Grass and clover are poor in the drier sections of the State. Irish potatoes are gen erally in good condition; truck crops, especially beahs, peas diid cabbage, are doing fairly Wdil, Shipments of strawberries and vegetables continue. A large crop of melons is being plant ed. It appears that more fruit es caped injury by frost than anticipated, and is setting well. Body of Young Went 2 Found, Bristol, Va., SpeciaL-Thd body oi E.

He actu ally has at his disposal not more than 150,000 men, exclusive of the garrison at Port Arthur, which consists of 30,- 0000, and the garrison at Hew Chwang, Of 18,000'. “A general who knows th» secrets of the mobilization telis me that the last one thousand men making up the re quired 500,000, will leave Kasan July 21, adding, ‘We will be very sick if the railway is not worked well.’ It is not likely that General Kuropatkin will fatigue his troops. Russians Retiring to Liao Yang London, By .Cable.—The Tokio cor respondent of. the Daily Chronicle says that 15,000 Russians-are retiring from New Chwang to Liao Yang.

THeProspeets Are Thfit the CeIeStifiie flajr Take a Hahdi S3t. Peterifourg, By Cahie;—In view of the official dispatches, regarding the hostile attitude of the Chinese within and without the Russian sphere of in fluence, the authorities here do not conceal their apprehension at the out look* especially in the north of the em pire, for they prophse to Cfili the at tention of the Celestial government to the impending uprising in Tpaadsiatzi, In prder that repressive measures may been instantly taken* it is known and appreciated IifefC ihat aii the powers have made StrOng representations to Pekin in the interst of the preservation of the tranquility of the empire, but it is stated that Ma jor General Pfiug’s dispatch of May 14 shows the necessity for further im pressing the GelestiM gbverflmeiit with the advisability Of afeting with & firm hand; • The authorities here believe that the Boxef reVoltj which, spread from Shan-. Tuiigi Wbtiid have involved,Jhe entire empire had it not heed fdr the firmness Of the .Southern viceroys. Tlie military authbrjti.es id, St: Petersburg claim to have information of a i sensational characters . to the effect that the Chinese have tacitly agreed to co-operate with the Japanese operations. The Chinese propose, it is stated, to drive Gen. Kuropatkin's forces into Monr golia, which would place the Russians in the position of invaders of neutral territory and enable reprisals by Gen, MaiS army, Which, .it asserted, ifi kept in that i§giod f6r the special ob ject, thus Cleverly averting the. slight est ififrihgCment Of the neutrality of China by Japan, and. the .Chinese troops, by not crossing the Manchurian frontier, could not be charged with a violation of pledges in respect to non interference in military operations in Manchuria.The opinion of an eminent strategist, given to the Associated Press is that the Japanese intend to control not only Liao Chengi but all !.along the UhC jii .ah effort tp drive Geii. Kuro- patkiii into Mongolia, where the Chi’ nese are waiting for him.Knowing thhese cbnditions, Gen. Kuropatkin, he said, would not be likelv to make a serious resistance at Kai Ping or Hai Cheng, but would withdraw to the north. This would en able the Japanese to march on New Chwang with little hindrance and give them a base from which men could be sent without afly Violation of the neutral zbne west df the Liao river. The Gbrinan Foreign Office has been informed, .according to assurances given the Berlin correspondent of No- voe Vremri,. that China will not ven ture to infringe the neutrality laws, owing to the distinct intimation' from all the powers, the dynasty would be jeopardized by such infringement. It is believed that Japan would be em barrassed by the open assistance of China, since Europe would hold Japan responsible for the consequences. The correspondent assorts that th§ German Foreigii Gffice ihspired thb United States to propose the neutralization of China. Russians Score at Last. Lia Yang, By Cable—The Russian fleet scored its first distinct naval success of the war on May 10th, by the torpedoing and crippling, though, not the sinking, of an armored Japanese cruiser .ill Talien Wan bay.The ftu§Sian Sttdpk was successfully planned on May iOth, while the Japan- nese squadron was concentrating out side Dalny, devoting its whole atten tion to Talienwain Bay, and was car ried out the same night. The attacking force was not a regular torpedo boat, but was only a small naphtha launch in command of a young officer who had with him three jackies. The launch mounted a small machine gun and carried three torpedoes. When darkness fell, the launch crept out of Port Arthur, hugging the shore, with no lights a glow and no glow from the engines to betray her presence. It was late when She gained the outer line of the Japanese squadron. Slip ping through the torpedo pickets and selecting the nearest warship, a big armored cruiser, she stole toward her and succeeded in exploding against her side a single torpedo. A deafening roar followed the explosion, which re echoed far ashore. Flames enveloped the cruiser, which evidently was badly crippled. To Fight .YeHow Fever.

Leading men consider that the time has arrived to adopt tht elements approved by the majority o- civilized nations. An edict establish Ing a national church is improbable.

In preparing for the construction of a tunnel to irrigate the Uncompahgre valley in western Colorado, it became necessary to make a topographic sur vey of the bottom of the grand canyon of the Gunnison river for a distance of about 1,500 feet. But the walls of this canyon, approximately ‘-2,000 feet in height, are sheer precipices, and it is impossible to go through in boats. A descent to the bottom was effected bv means of a narrow fissure eroded in the granite cliffs, but in order to reach the opposite side of the river, with the aid of a similar fissure, the surveying party had Jo make a detour of about 150 miles. In all, four ex tremely perilous descents were made to the bottom of the canyon. In places it was necessary to let the men down over cliffs several hundred feet by means of ropes. <viilit Vou Vno Any K hnl of a Sewing MueIiiiie »t Ally Price?

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER. Fills a Need That Will Never be Met by the City Dallies. The country newspaper fills a need that cannot be met by the greater and more comprehensive journals printed in the cities, says the Baltimore Her ald. Very few being dailies, the editors have time to engage in other work, are freer from worry than the city worker and can go to bed earlier without being troubled by fear of missing early mail trains. Not being compelled to suuply fresh news from all over the world every day, the country editor turns to neighborhood and county matters, so cial affairs and crops as topics more interesting than foreign wars and do mestic tariff bills. With scissors and pastepot he can supply his readers with a limited amount of telegraph hews, if his subscribers do not receive one of the city dailies, and he is not compelled to pay high prices for news service and telegraph tolls. Many of his contributions cost him nothing and the expense of “setting up’ is small. He takes care to secure some of the State advertising, and the job printing business, and what the county commissioners and other triends can provide for him. His ex penses are small, as illustrations and special features on a large scale are rot expected. The country editor is respected in his county and State, and if aroused he may be an object of fear. The rural newspaper is generally a cheerful vis itor. The editor takes a hopeful view of things and delights to give himself rein in describing a social function, es pecially a wedding, and is always gal lant and complimentary to the ladies. In a hot political campaign his blood may become heated over an oyster law or a dog law, and some ink may be wasted when two writers begin to slash at each other, but the day for duels having passed, these battles are gen erally bloodless, and when the oppo nents meet the next court day they will be found approaching each other and saying: “How do you do, Bob;” “Jim, old fellow, glad to see you,” clasping hands and straightway moving toward the grocery store for a distinct pur pose. The income of a country editor being secure when the circulation price is no higher than a dollar a year, and his patronage and importance being constantly on the increase, his lot is to be envied.—Newspaperdom.

THE FAIR CASE SETTLED Over a Million Paid by His Relatives to End All Suits. AgeU Mrs. Nelson, the Mother of Mrs, Charles L. Fair, Will Divide Over •1,600,000 Among KeIaIlTes. New York City.—After many months of court controversy and private nego tiation, the legal battle for the $7,000,- 000 estaVa left by Mr1 and Mrs. Charles L. Fair, who were killed on August 14, 1902, Iir an automobile accident id France, was settled in a manner satis factory to all the parties interested. While the exact amount paid never may become known, it was reported from an authoritative source, it was $1,500,000 in cash and jewels, furniture and other property valued at $100,000.The reason putiliely given for ending this hotly contested suit was that the notoriety of the case was impairing the health of Mrs. Nelson, who represented the heirs of Mrs. Fair, and causing great annoyance to Mrs. Oelrichs and Mrs. Vanderbilt. Another reason why both sides were eager to end the liti gation was that the legal proceedings in France, New York and California were a heavy drain on the estate of $7,000,000 and that the dozen lawyers were reaping a rich harvest at the expense of both sides. Mrs. Oelrichs and Mrs. Vanderbilt agree to pay the counsel fees of the Nelsons and give them a goodly sum, and the Nelsons promise never to annoy those women again. The diplomacy of Colonel William Jay, Mrs. Oelrich’s brother-in-law. is said to have brought about the end of the will contest. Beekman & Chanler represented the Nelsons in tlie case, and so ready were they , to close the case they did not take even an hour’s delay before they signed the final order of settlement. The formal end of the case came when Justice Bischoff dismissed the complaint of the Nelsons. They had asked the court to cancel an agreement they had made with Mrs. Oel- richs and Mrs. Vanderbilt whereby they accepted $178,000 to settle the case. The Justice furthermore enjoined tlie Nelsons from’ bringing further pro ceedings against the daughters of “Jim” Faiiy all of which was in ac cordance with the private agreement.Directly after Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Fair were killed, iu August. 1902. iu an auto accident in France, Mrs. Oel- ficlis and Mrs. Vanderbilt directed Colonel William .Tay, their attorney, to settle with- Mrs. Fair’s relatives, the Nelsons, at any price; and so avoid the annoyance of a contest. The Nelsons jumped at (he offer of Colonel Jay anil the agreement was signed. But when they heard that Chaiies Fair had left $7,000,000 they thought their $178,000 too small and cried “Fraud!” It was their contention that Mrs. Fair sur vived her husband several minutes, and that the estate was theirs. They .said the dead mail’s sisters had tricked them into an unjust setBement. BATTLE WITH PERUVIANS. Brazilian Force Repulsed in an Attack After Losing Many Killed.

Mr. Robert Bailey died at his home near Elbaville church last Friday night at the advanced age of 91 years, 4 mos. and 13 days. To reap sueh a hale old age is a boon which few enjoy. Mr. Bailey was born Jan. 1st, 1S13, and by taking m eiely a slight historical retrospect, we note that his Iife- history covers a period when the young Republic with mighty effort throws off the last vestige of En glish thralldom; thence follows an era of peace and harmory; this period is folio .red by the gathering storm-clond, and soon our country is plunged into one of the most terrible wars the-w orld had. ever seen; then comes the period of re construction when our people with tbeir- characteristic, progressive spirit began to emerge from the slongh despond—began to attune themselves to the stirring shibole- thes: “ Foward, march!” 1 From Madison to Roosevelte. from national insignificance to a greatness and grandness which al most completely overshadows all other countries—all this and more has transpired within the period of Mr. Bailey’s history. And there have passed of the stage of action such men as Adam and Jefferson, Clay and Calhoun, Monroe and Webster, Jackson and Lee, Lowell and Tennyson—the scenes of their life being iaid, and the accomplishment of their life- pnrposes being rounded out in these fitful 91 years. H is remains were gently laid to rest in the cemetery of Eibavill e church Sunday evening, May 15, in the presence of a large concour- se of relatives and friends. Peace to his ashes.

It was the largest Bepnblicau convention ever held in the St? te, Its membership was composed of all classes of onr people; farmers, lawyers, doctors, mill men, bank ers, merchants and laborers. It was a fine body of men who had the best interest of our State and coun try at heart. It was a surprise to our Democratic friends. The Hon. Thos. S. fiollins was unanimously elected chiarman of the executive committee. The IIon A . E . Holton was made permanent chairman of the convention and Biibert JIcSeil Secretary. There was no rangling, peifect harmony prevailed. Kearly all nominations were made by accla mation. The H on. Thos. S. Bol Iius made a fine speech, and his arraignment of the Democratic ad ministration in this State was to the queens taste. Prof. 0 , P. Fra zier of Greensboro made the speech of welcome on the part of the citi zens of Greensboro. Bev. Dr. Oar- raway opened the conyention with a very appropriate ■ prayer. The speeches ol the Hous. Spencer Blackburn and B. Z. Linney were well received. A new era has dawned in this State, and our Democratic friends can lake notice, we expect and de~ maud a free ballot, and a fair count. The majority must rale There is no excuse for loiiger de- preme our iuUuecce at home and abroad. It has raised our credit until to day it is the highest in the world, It has ever stood for uuiver sal freedom, and has carried the blessing of liberty int-.> the islands X II. VVe denounce the manage ment of the. Atlantic and North Caroliaa Bailrond ar.d Hotel by the Democratic party as incompe tent, corrupt and extravagant, and declare that we favor the leasing of that property, and promise the people of North Carolina that if elected to power we will forever put au end to such scandals as have recently been brought to light in connection with its management; W e denounce the Governor’s star chamber investigation of that road and declare that the secret and clandestine investigation into its all af- to op- of the sea. It has held onr honor unsullied, and our flag nntarnish- affairs was an outrage and a dis- ed until we have taken onr place j asth s arbiter of the nations of the world.' Throughout its long lease of power its Presidents and leaders have always been equal to the greatest demand; and now the country with all its vast and vari ed interests has a Bepublican Pre sident in the person of Theodore Booseveltj who ha& shown him -elf no les3 equal to every emergency, who has developed a statesmanship that entitles him to the confidence of the nation, and for these reasons we heieby endorse his administra tion and pledge our earnest sup port for his nomination and elec tion. II. W eendorse the Republican Administration in protecting the rights of the people against mono polies, trusts and other unlawful combinations. III. We endorse the Bepublican Party for its action in constructing the Panama Canal, and the people of the United States from all sec tions, especially from the Sonth, are to be congratulated upon the pr jepecis of so soon securing that grace, and one which the citizens bauchiug the ballot box, and its j great inter ocean water-way, which rape must cease.

The Bepublican Party of North Carolina, iu convention as sembled, at Greensboro, N .C ., on this the 18, day of May, 1904 here by eudorse aud ratifies the princi ples and policies enumerated in theplatfonns of the National Be- IV . Y/e eudorse the foreign po licy of expansion of the Bepubli- can Party by which Porto Bico, Hawaii and the Phillippines have been annexed to the United States, thin opening up a new market to the manufacturers of this country. V . W e endorse the Bepiiblicau Party for liberating the Cubans from Spanish tyranny aud Oppres sion, and point with pride to their success and progress since .the es tablishment of the republican form of government. V I. W e deplore the death of the late Senator Marcus A . Hanna, and recognize in his exalted life aud character the highest type of the.patriotic citizen, the Christian gentleman and the wise statesman, and cherish his life history as one of the most precious heritages of the Bepublican Party. V H . W e most heartily endorse the able, fearless aud aggressive course of Hon. Thos. S. Rollius, our Stiite Ctiairman, and commend hts efforts tor the success of. the Party in the State. Y in , The Bepublican Party fa vors the Apalachian Park, and we promise to use all honorable means to bring about legislation establis hing the same, IX . W e favor the education of the masses, but denounce the prac tice of the present Democratic State administration in its eftort to make the common schools a part of the Iiemocratic Machine, to be run for partisan purposes until- their usefulness has been greatly impair ed and those most in need of edu cation largely deprived of its ad vantages. VVe pledge ourselves to the correction of these abuses, and to so amend the law; as to remove our free schools as far as possible from the realm of politics, and thus prevent their being subverted to partisau advantages, and to give to the system an elasticity that will iunure to the best interests of. those most in need of its help, k . The Bepublican party favors generpas public aid..to all charita ble institutions in the State, and- of this-Stats should not tolerate. X III. W e denounce the ltypo- criey of the Democratic party in its effort to deceive the people by saying they had not raised the rate- of taxation, while they liaveforced an increased valuation on,all pro perty by legislation, have created a commission for this express pur pose. aud have thereby largely in creased the burden of taxation up on our people. As an evidence of this, we asK every tax payer to compare his receipt for the taxes of 1903 with those of former years. X IV . W e denounce that policy of the Democratic party that Con tinuously and insidonsly attacks local self government by legislative appointment of Justices of the Peace, County Commissioners and other officers all over the State, and demand that- all matters per taining to local affairs and county government be .left entirely with the voters ot' the communities aud counties concerncd, X V . W e denounce frauds, rob beries, intimidation in elections, and we apptal to the houest citizens I of North Carolina to use their best efforts in seeing that the coming election is free from corruption, and is conducted honestly in all respects. X V I. W e denounce that spirit of anarchy in the Democratic party that prompted our Governor to say he would have emptied the State Treasury in defense of tho;e indict ed for election frauds before ong of them should be conviceed, and. we condemn the Democratic machine lor defending criminals at the ex pense of the taxpayers. X V H . W e condemn the Demo cratic Party machine for its un warranted efforts to impeach onr Supreme Court Judgtw for partisan purposes. X V III.

In view of his precarious conditon his deposition concerning the perpetra tion of the crime has been taken, and the perpetrators are still in the county jail awaiting developments. The three men were returning to their homes in the country together in a wagon, and it is said all were drink ing. When not far from the city Jo- sey states that one of the men held him while the other mutilated him with a pocket knife and left nim bleeding and'half dead on the side of the road where he was found Sun day morning. A very delicate opera tion was performed on the old man, who is about sixty years of age, by Dr. C, M. Poole. The prisoners ex press the opinion that they will be released from jail, but make no fur ther statement as to the attack upon Josey, who is an Inoffensive old gentleman. Slolc a Watch. Asheville, Special.—Two negroes, HirshelI Thomas and Jim Harmon, were given a preliminary hearing and bound over to court on a charge of the larceny of a gold watch from Miss Dearing, of Jacksonville, Fla. Miss Dearing, who was a visitor in the city, lost her watch on September 20, last year, and its was believed that it was stolen, although no clue could be obtained. Harmon and Thomas yesterday offered a watch for sale, and upon investigation it was found to be Miss Dearing's property. It seems that Harmon had stolen the watch and hidden, it under a bush, where it remained until he had sufficient nerve to get it this weelt and attempt to sell it. White Man Hanged. Kinston, Special.—Frank Davis, a white man, charged and convicted of waylaying and murdering Chaiies Pate, also white, last September, was hang ed at the jail here Thursday at 12:20, The neck was broken by the fall and life was extinct in 12 minutes. Contrary to expectations, Davis made no state ment on the gallows. He did not dis play much weakness and only words were farewell to Sheriff Wooten and Deputy Sheriff Sutton. Daniels Put to Death. Newbern, Special.—Alfred Daniels, the murderer of E. G. Simmons, fath er of United States Senator F..M. Sim mons, was hanged at Trenton, at 1:38 p. m. The execution was without any special incident. Daniels displayed great nerve, and said that he was un justly tried. He maintained that he was innocent of intentional murder, claiming he shot Mr. Simmons in self- defense. He professed religion and was baptised. There was a large crowd in town, but the hanging was private, being witnessed hy only those who had tickets. Negro Lynched by Negroes. Weldon, Special.—A negro tramp was lynched at Seaboard, N. C., Thurs day night, by a crowd of his own race, who swung him up for an assault upon a 7-year-old colored child. A policeman was on his way to jail with the man, who gave his name as Dick Whitehead, when he was overtaken by an infuri ated mob of blacks, who tore the pris oner from the officer’s, buggy and hanged him to a near-by tree. North State Items. In the Democratic primaries for Mecklenburg county held last Tues day Glenn received a small majority for Governor, Stedman being a close second in the race. The $30,000 building at Wake Forest College is under construction, and the corner-stone will be laid by the senior class next week. " Charles J.

The grading of the Raleigh & Pamli co Sound Railway has now reached the point within 200 yards of the Seaboard Air Line track in Raieigh. Next week the work of grading towards Neuse river will begin, where there is a gap of four miles and in about a month 11 miles will be graded. Then the iron can be laid, in case crossties can be se cured. These are very hard to get, as farmers are too busy to cut them and there is fear that they may not be cut before autumn. Even the old roads are haring trouble in procuring ties. The government report on tne Norm Carolina climate for April says the mean temperature for the State was 54.8 degrees, which is 2.9 below normal. The average rainfall was only 1.47, which is 2.35 below the normal. The average snowfall for this State was 3.10 of an inch. There are now 515 rural free.delivery mail routes In this State; this being a very remarkable increase In a year. King Edward and Leopold wrote let ters of sympathy to the widow of Henry M.

Tokio, By Cable.—Admiral Kataoka reports that on the 15th the operation of removing the mines in Kerr bay was continued by the torpedo boats under protection of a bombardment by the fleet. There is nO change in the enemy's defence except* the addition of two or three field guns to their position, which had the effect of in terrupting the work of clearing the bay of the mines. Nevertheless, the Japanese destroyed eight, mines, but there are many more left and the work of destroying them will be con tinued. - • - NORTI STATE CROP BULLETIN Condition of Crops for the Week Just Ended as Viewed by the Department- The low temperatures which con tinued to prevail this week are prov ing the chief unfavorable feature of the present crop season. The mean temperature for the week averaged to,' the State at large about 64 degrees which is 2 degrees below the normal; the weather was so generally clear that radiation at night was favored, and the nights were much too cool for cot ton or corn, though the temperature during the day time was more favor able; light frosts occurred in the mountain region on several mornings between the IOth and 12th with but little injury to crops. At the beginning of the week there were showers nearly everywhere, which were heavy in a few western counties and accompanied by hail; light rains occurred also the evening of the 14th. The rainfall was vc-ry beneficial but insufficient in amount, as the clear, windy weather dried out the soil rapidly. The entire week was favorable for farm work, which is well up everywhere; it ap pears that a much larger acreage than usual is under cultivation, and prob ably most of the excess is in cotton. The weather has been too cool for crops to grow very rapidly. Cotton has all been planted except in a few places, but the crops is coming up very slowly; that which is up has not a vig orous appearance, as the plants have been checked in growth by cool nights. Chopping cotton is now progressing in the southern portion, where fair to good stands are reported. A few farm ers are plowing up cotton and planting over. Some replanting of corn is also going on; lowlands are being plowed and, planted; in many sections the stand of com is very good, and culti vating the crop is advancing, but in most counties the plants are very small, suffering to some extent from cool, dry weather. Cut or bud worms are reported to be doing considerable damage to lowland corn in places. A good deal of tobacco was transplanted during the week, and this work is now general over the most important to bacco growing section; the work is finished in some eastern and southern counties, where good stands are not expected on account of drought; some damage by worms to tobacco is re ported. In the extreme west where there has. generally been sufficient rain wheat and oats are improving; some correspondents report that winter wheat better than an average crop; but east of the Blue Ridge the condi tion of the cereal crops is not so good; both wheat and oats are heading low, and requiring more moisture for de velopment. Many peanuts have been planted this week, and planting rice is being pushed. Garfens and truck are improving, though truck crops are quite late; peas are being shipped, with crop short; beans are small; new potatoes are in market, and generally potatoes are doing very well; some sweet potato slips have been set out. The shipments of strawberries con tinue. Many correspondents report the condition o£ fruit, especially apples, better than anticipated; there will probably be wore peaches also than expected, though not a half crop. For est trees in the mountainous section are now clothed in green. Rains reported: Goldsboro, 0.60 inches; Greensboro, 1.06; Lumberton, 0.16; Newbern, 1,12; Weldon, 1.50; Raleigh, 0.09; Wilmington 0.10; Char lotte 0.10; Hatteras, 0.70; Nashville, 0.70; Moncure1 0.70; Liberty, 1.24; Davidson, 1.75; Balsam, 1.25; Hender sonville, 0.80; Marion, 1.64; and Hen rietta, 0.85.

MOREPiiOFITABLELEASE Governor Aycock Cets Best Offer Yel on A. and N, C. Railroad, Raleigh, Special.—Several weeks ago Governor Aycock received a proposition from a Philadelphia firm of bond deal ers to lease the Atlantic & North Caro lina Bailway for fifty years, the rate offered being over 5 per- cent, on an average, Ten days ago the members of the firm came here, saw the governor, then made a complete inspection of the road. Last week they sent the Gov ernor a new propostition, on their own motion, which is by far the best ever received. It is for a fifty-year lease, the rate offered being 3 1-2 per cent, for the first ten years, five per cent, for the second ten years an 7 per cent, for any part of forty-nine years after the fifty years, or for the full term of forty- nine years so added; all interest to be paid to the State in advance, in Janu ary and July; als? agreeing to pay in terest on the bonded debt, but desiring that the railway company shall issue refunding bonds to the amount of the present debt, on or before the date present bonds fall due, at the lowest rate of interest obtainable;' further agreeing to build in five years thirty- five miles of new road, to be a feeder of the Atlantic & North Carolina Rail way ,and within ten years thereafter not less than fifty miles more of new road, also as a feeder; the lessors to have power to exitnine the road at any time, and if it is found that the lessees are not keeping the property up to the standard of condition in which they received it, that upon notice from the lessors the lessee shall make repairs before the end of the lease year; the actual supervision of the road; the proposition further setting forth that its makers are not connected with the Atlantic Coast Line or with any other railway, but that the proposition is made in an individual capacity entire ly. Governor Aycock said that this proposition would almost average 6 per cent, for the first fifty years, and then, after a moment’s calculation said the exact figure was 5 5-18 per cent. The Governor added that it was a substi tute for tbe first bid, and was a much better one. The Governor was asked if it had not all the time been his pur pose to lease. He replied: "It has been my purpose all along to lease the road, when I c-ould lease it to persons who would keep the lease, improve* the road and secure the people, but I have' at no time been willing to lease the road for less than its value, or with out sufiicient guarantees to secure the performance of the terms of the lease." Valuable Mica Deposits. Asheville, Special.—It is learned that a valuable deposit of mica had been, discovered, this week on the estate of Philip S. Henry on the moun tain east of the city, and that two workmen are now engaged in taking the mica out in great quantity. It is said that while work was in progress on the estate a few days ago mica was discovered close to the Harris place, now included in Mr. .Henry’s bound ary, and about SOO yards from his "Zelandia” residence. Men were put to work digging the mica and chunks of the mineral of the very finest qual ity have been taken from the mine. The mica is very clear and peels off iu large sheets, and is said by those who have seen it to be the finest qual ity of the product ever found in North Carolina. It is also said that in one day this week over a ton of the finest quality of mica, was taken from the mine, and that Mr. Henry will have an expert examine the place to ascertain if possible the extent of the deposit. Receiver Appointed. Atlanta, Special.—The Brady Union Stock Yards Company was placed in the hands of a receiver here by peti tioning creditors. Judge Newman, of the United States District Court, named T. D- Meador, vice-preesident of the Lowery National Bank, as re ceiver. The liabilities of the firm are placed at $125,000, the assets at $108,- 000. Young Man Accidentally Shot.

Minister of Poate and Telegraphs in Japan Worked in American Factory. “Away back in the early '80s,” said a well-known electrician of this city, "there came to me with a letter of in troduction front the president of the company a. young Jap, and the note directed that he be given every op portunity to work in all the depart ments of the factory, so that he might be proficient in every branch. He was- apt, willing, always wore a grin and remained at the place about two years.” The teller of the story found out during these two years that the boy had been working as a lineman be fore he appeared at the factory. His name wos Oi. He went back to Ja pan, and only at Christmas time, by a present, was the electrical engineer reminded of him. Many years later the engineer was waited upon by three Japanese who wanted to know all about the very latest devices for telephones and ' telegraphs. They were electrical engineers and had been taught all they-knew at the Im perial university in Tokio by a Prof. Oi, from whom they carried a letter ol introduction to the engineer. They were imperial commissioners, and the engineer took them all over this coun try explaining things. The brightest of the three was called Wadachi and the others were Nakayama and Okonc to. They told their mentor that Ol was now minister of posts and tele graphs In Japan, and this important position he now holds during war times.—Pittsburg Dispatch. Eeltt In Demand In Egypt.
