The demand on the part of the Democrats in Congress to make a thorough investigation of the pos­ tal stealing is in line with the de- nres of all tax payers. It is an aw­ ful thing to let a cro .vd of bad men remain in charge of any department of the government. Itisa a im p o - Mtion on those who pay to support the government.—Lexington D is­ patch. IVhy certainly. IVhy don’t yon talk that way qbout the Atlantic <s North Caro- liuii Itailroad shown and proven to be badly mismanaged. Even a shortage of over twenty five thou­ sand dollars in the accounts, aud great extavaganee, aud violation of law, yet you do not demand that they be indicted, or turned out. They arc still in control, and no Ftepsare being taken to punish the rascals, The Republicans have made au investigation of the post- office department and are prose­ cuting the criminals. W hy don’t the Dispatch clean before its own door before saying so much about the Republicans!

By C. U. McCldmroctr, A tlanta, Ga, At noon when I’m tired and want to rest, Looking for a place that I think best, Yoawillalways find me swing­ ing. And very often singing, In my hammock. Iu the evening jnBt at twilight, IVhen the stars are shining bright, And I’m tired of working, You will find me larking, Near my hammock. When the nights are very hot, And I can’t sleep upon m y cot, '.Vheu the night-i Qgale is singing, You will find me swinging In my hammock. When the morning breeze begins to blow Aml the chickens commence to crow, You will find me sleeping, After daylight is peeping In my hammock. Then when Sunday comes, The day I like the best, I stroll till I get tired, And then lie down to rest In my hammock. ju d g e f e e b l k s. Onr Democratic friends had touch to say about Judge Norwood oue of the Republican Judges who got drunk on several occasions, but that was the only charge against- him. He would have been impeach- ftI had he not resigned. If half of •he charges brought against Judge Ieebles be true, he has disgraced the judiciary aud should resign at “aceor be impeached. A b oveall oar judiciary should be Joeve reproach. W eare reaping M s sown in 1898 and:1900 by Bed shirt Democracy, TH E OLD SOLDIERS IN COUNCIL. . TbeCIem ent Cam p M etat MoetMTlUe on Stay IO th 1904—A Good A ttendance and G reat Iatoreete la The Camp Wae Shown by all Preeent A Vand Wae Started to ISrect a M onument to The Dead Con­ federate SoIdlera In Davle Coaaty. Pursuant to a published call, made by Col. W . H . HobsonjCoiu- mader of "Clement Camp,” the old Confederate soldiers of Davie county met in the court house, on the IOth of May at 11 o’clock a. m Officers were present as follows: C ol.W . H . Hobson Commander, C. A . Gufty First Lient., T. S, Butler Quartermaster, J . H . Coley Commissary. Rev. W . R . Ketchie Chaplin. Besides there were pre­ sent soldieis from 4th. 5th, 7th, 8th 13th, 21st, 34th, 35th, 38tli, 42th, 44nd, 45th, 52nd, and 63rd, North Carolina Regim ents, as well as members of the IOth T a, Calvary. TheA djuant, C. F . Bahnson, being absent on motion T S. Butler was elected Adjutant pro tern. Ou the completion of the roll of the ‘old soldiers” present, the Com­ mander, Col. IV. II. Hobson, ad­ dressed the Camp at considerable length, speaking chiefly to objects of the Association. A t the conclu­ sion of Col. Hobson’s address, the camp adjourned for dinner. Promptly at 2 o’clock the Camp reassembled. After some remarks by various members of the camp, M r.E . H . M oirisw hohad been an attentive listener to the proceed­ ings and who was too young to have been a Confederate Soldier, modestly asked that he m ight be al­ lowed to present a proposition to the old soldiers. This granted, Mr. M oiris, in a stirring speech in which he was roundly applaud­ ed, proposed a mounument to the Confederate Dead of Davie county saying he desired the pleasure and the honor of heading a subscrip­ tion list for this purpose. In a few moments the “ old soldiers’’ and their friends had run the sub­ scription list to something over $100. That this matter of erecting a monument to the memory of the Confederate Dead in Davie m ight be properly presented to a gener­ ous public the following committee was duly appointed: Rev. W , R. K etchie, A . M, Garwood, W . H . Wyatt-, J. H . Y . Nail and J. H . Stewarf. O nm otionit was resol­ ved to raise as theminim um am ount $5000,000 and that funds, as they shall be collected from year to year shall be carefully loaned on real estate security, until such time as the various amounts ‘with accrued interest shall have amounted to, at least. $5000 when the best monument that cau be procured for the said $5000, shall be erected somewhere withiu the corporate lim its of the town of M ocksville, It was further resolved that the Camp make special efforts to have the IOth of May adquately cele­ brated, annually, in the town of M ocksville, by selecting, each year some gifted speaker, who shall tell in fitting terms of the glory and the achievifients of the Southern Soldier. It was also resolved| to in viteth e sons and daughters and friends of the Confederate soldier to cordially unite with the rapidly decreasing remnant of this proud army in observing this memorial day. Itw a s further resolved that a committee should be appointed to arrange for the organic connection of Clement Cam pwith the State organization of Confederate Veter­ ans. This committee are as fol­ lows: J. D . Hodges, O.K. Bahnson J, H . Coley, C. A . Gutty, aud W . H . Hobson. This committee was authorized to confer with the au- tliortles of The Masonic Picnic, aud if possible, secure an hour, during their annual public exer­ cises, in which the cause of the Confederate soldeir may be pre­ sented to public in such way, or ways, as the members of Clement Camp and the Daughters of the Confederacy m ay from year to year think advisable. On motion Messrs E . H . Morris and B . O. Morris were respectfully invited to advise with the Adj tuant with reference to the publication of the proceedings of this meeting. On motion it was ordered by the Camp that each Company, that left DavieConnty for the war of the States, shall appoint a Company Historian, whose duty it shall be to get up at the earliest practical moment, all historical facts and reminiscenses in which the company took a part, so far as these facts may now be ascertained, to the end that ample data may be accumula­ ted for the future publication of The Deeds aud Achievements of Davie county in the war of the States. It was urged that this •ork be promptly and .vigoriously prosecuted, ere oblivion Shall have swallowed up much that is valua­ ble aud interesting. It was ordered by the Camp that Mr. T. B . Bailey, whose qualities of head and heart so • emminently fit him for so responsible and so delicate a task, be requested to take these various contributions of company historians and breathe upon the whole the spirit of am ity, to the ,end th at a connected and complete history of Drvie county’s contingent in the w ar may be safiy preserved to posterity! It was ordered that the commit­ tee, appointed to conferr w ith the AIasonic picnic Authorities, shall, iu case our wishes are acceded to secure a popular speaker for the hour, and otherwise arrange for establishing a chapter of tho “ Daughters of the Confederacy.” It was resolved that the Camp come together again on the day of the Masonic picnic, and that all old soldiers of Dnvie county and of other counties, are urgently re: quested to meet at thd court house, promptly at 9 o’clock on that day for organization, On motion, Camp broke, T.S.B U TLEB , A djutant Pro tom.

Swink «& Dsadmonl N.b 3375 396^ Russians Reported as Being on the Run Tokio, Dy Cable--Tlie JaJpanese array swept the Russians from Kin Chow Friday morning, and In a des* perate attach stormed the almost impregnable position of the Russians on Kanshan Hill, west of Talien Wan. ' The battle raged In the hills all through the night, and fragmentary telegrams from the Japanese head­ quarters report that the engagement is still in progress, and that the Jap­ anese are still pursuing the Russians south from Nanshan and the head of Talienwan bay. The Russians had made elaborate preparations to check the Japanese movement south on the Liao Tung peninsula, toward Port Ar­ thur. They had fortified the high ground on the shore of Talienwan bay, their works extending to the east and the west. The extreme Russian right was at Hufihaugtao, and the extreme left at Nanshan IIiU, The hill was the strongest part Cf the line; a series of batteries, strongly emplaced, crowded its cresc, while rifle pits extended around its sides. Mines had beefU, placed lower down on this hill, and around the base on the northern and eastern sides were stretched woll- made wire entanglements. Another lino of defenses, also protecter v,rith wive entanglements, extended from Ven Ghia Tung, near the head of Talienwan. bay, due north of LiuchIa Tien, which lies south of Kin Chou. A strong Russian force was posted at ICin Chou. It consisted of infantry and artillery. The Japanese first occupied the line of hills to the east of Kin Chou. Their position formed an almost perfect right angle, showing its southern front to TaIien Wan, and its western front to Kin Chou. Chiu Li Chan village was the apex of this angle; the ex­ treme right of the Japanese line rest­ ed at Chen Cha Tien, which is almost due north of Chiu Li Chan, while the extreme loft was at Chaitsuho, a vil­ lage due cast of Chlu LI Chan. Back Cf this angle tlio attacking force as­ sembled in complete security. The Russians apparently attempted to draw Japanese attack last Saturday for their batteries opened fire slowly on the enemy on that day. The Jap­ anese, however, refused to be drawn into an. attack until the positions of the Russians, their guns and their strength had been fully developed. To this end the Japanese began a se­ ries of careful manoeuvres, their offi­ cers working their way close enough to the Russian position to draw the enemy’s five. They thus secured frag­ ments of shells for the purpose of ascertaining the calibre of the Russian guns. They discovered that the bat­ teries on Nanshan hill included four howitzers of about fifteen centimes calibre, ten old-style cannon of be­ tween nine and fifteen centimes cal­ ibre, and two quick-firing guns of twelve centimes calibre. The Japan­ese also discovered a number of large emplacements, but they did not. learn the number of guns contained therein. These emplacements faced to the north and east. Cost Many Lives. Tokio, Special—Revised figures show that 61 non-commissioned officers and 878 blue jackets were killed and drown­ ed; seven officers. 13 non-commissioned officers and 50 blue jackets slightly wounded, and 12 blue jackets seriously wounded, iu the sinking of the.

Two hundred and thirty-five non-comihissibhed offi­ cers and HieniJoSt their lives on the cruiser YoBhinb, which was rammed and sunk by me cruiser Kasuga.

Monterey, Mexico, Special.—Notwith­ standing the quarantine recently estab­ lished by the State of Texas against all Mexican points has been lifted, it is still In force against Monterey.

Raleigh, SpeciSL=-After hearing ar­ gument by counsel for petitioner and the State in the matter of the applR cation of a receiver for the Atlantic & North Carolina Railway, Judge Purttell Saturday afternoon appointed Capt. Thomas' D.- Meares, of Wilming­ ton, receiver, pending a heating; and S. G. Ryan special master, to take evi* defies and report on the condition of the road July I; A plea on behalf of the private stockholders of the road, to continue the cause in order that the road might be leased, was refused. Both sides agreeing, Judge Purnell made Capt. K. S. Finch a party to' the proceedings with Cuyler. There were at least one hundred persons in the United States distoict court room when the proceedings be­ gan.- The following attorneys were present for thfe' State: Attorney Gener­ al Gilmer, T. J. Jarvis, JaifleS H. Pou, Staples Fuller, Perrin Busbee; ^rid for­ th© Atlantic & North Carolina Rail­ way, W. C. Monroe. For Complain­ ant Cuyler, W. W. Flemming, of New York; W. H. Day, W. W. Clark, W. C. Maxwell; 9. Mt. Argo and Elmer E. Shaffer. Ex-Jtidgg Thomas B. Wo­ mack was also present. The first thing done was the reading by the at­ torney general and Mr. Pou of the answer of the State to Cuyler’s com­ plaint. The complaint itself was not read, Judge Purnell saying he had read and considered that. Every stage of the proceedings wad listened to with great interest. The members of the Board of Internal Improve­ ments were prssent, also the investi­ gating committee, President Bryan, Superintendent Dill, Treasurer Man­ ley and other officials of the road, also ft nuifiber Pt prominent witnesses from points along the line. V. E. McBee came iii fiboht an hour after the pro­ ceedings began. . . Attorney Pou said he had S num­ ber of affidavits, which he offered, Ex=Judge Womack then arose and sprang what ffiay he called a surprise by reading affidavits from Mrs. Flor­ ence P. Tucker, of Raleigh, the largest private stockholder, and from Seifips sey Wood, another large stockholder, the two representing over 1,009 shares 6f sfdck. Pt the par value of over $160,000. iii these complaints it is set forth that the pfiVfttes stock­ holders were almost unanimOiiS ifi favor of a lease; that the Governor had before him several good proposi- ti'oSS. tfi lease, one of these being from the Atlantic Railway Company, which had put up in a !New xOrfc trust com­ pany $50,000 in cash as a guarantee of complying with the terms of itd contract if it got the lease, which was ready to put up $50,000 more as se­ curity; setting forth further that the private Stockholders were ready to vote for a lease and asking for a modi­ fication of the order arid a continu- Sncb df the case for 60 or 90 days so that the Stockholders can be called together in meeting ftfld consider the lease proposition. Mr. WomftOit sftid fig believed that the result would be a faovrabie lStse,- of great advantage to the State and private stockholders. He said this litigation now ifi pro­ gress was injurious to the stock, if such a lease were .made, there was no fifttlsS for. the continuance of this case in equity; The Governor has signified his assent io a lease of this character which will greatly Oflhance the value of stock and put it up fronl the present. figure of say $50 to be­ tween $75 and $100. Mr. Womack said he occupied a rather unique posi­ tion, on one side was the State with its overwhelming stock and on the other the applicants who seek to throw the road into a receiver's hands. Judge Purnell said the State wsSs not a party to this proceeding. Three Committed to Jail. There was a sensation sprung at Lumbertdn-Satufday When JUdge Peebles committed three persons to jail for direct contempt.

Kerr for direct contempt, directing the sheriff to imprison him in the common jail of Robeson county for 30 days, and until he paid a fine of $250. Kerr has an affidavit in the case alleging that during the recent term in Sampson it was 'perfectly apparent that' Judge Peebles was intoxicated; that he went to Judge Peebles’ room and saw there­ in two gallon bottles of whiskey, one full and two drinks gone from the other. That when the judge left he packed up his whiskey and took * it. This the judge found to be absolutely and corruptly false on the judges’ own knowledge and several affidavits. He bad one quart from a friend and left In his room some sherry wine given him by J. D. Ken-. Kerr is a lawyer Clinton, has been h Senator from his county, is captain of the'Sampson mili­ tary. Company, chairman of the Demo­ cratic executive committee and a lead­ing man in his community.- Next the judge read a commitment for direct contempt of C. F.

He is now in the railway mail service and is said to be a highly intelligent and respectable man.

Railroad — g ■ — • EVIDENCES OF BAD MANAGEMENT The Report Goeg at Uength Into the Various charges of MisMinagsment Alleged Against the Officials of the Road. The special committee appointed to investigate the management of the At­ lantic and North Carolina Raiiroad made jmiriic Jtj AkdiSgI oii Mbnday. The document is quite lengthy and goes extensively into the details of the road’s operation and of its present con­ dition. Concerning the specifle charge of mismanagement on the ground that the road has been the dumping-ground for broken-down politicians the report says In part: “Considering the specific charges v«hich have Weeii Made affecting thg nianagement by the present adminis­ tration in the order in which they c£.me to our attention, we consider first, the charge that the road has been run as a political machine, or that it has been a dumping ground for broken-dfiwii politicians: “In view tjf thS State’s dwiiership df a controlling interest in tlie property, and the resulting fact that the State administration has been charged with the control and operation of the road, it has necessarily been true that this property has been treated like every c-iher inpUfuiiolt; A ehangft In tiie pfliiticai cbinpifexifaii Bi thl Stat3 administration has resulted iii changed in the bfficfers arid employees of tiie road, in the Kamh Wajr as Similar changes were made in the officers and employees of the State's Prison and other State institutions, and, so far as Vie are informed, not to a greater ex­ tent than in any other institution That this condition (jf affairs iias sc rye cl the best interests of the prop­ erty frh'ni it ijiidiriesg ^taridpdirit can not be maintained, but we caii iiol see that the present administration has done more to contribute to this re­ sult than any other. We take it to be a fact that the President and some of the officers and employees have been ciiangtid, KHth every. r-hoage Sn theSlate administration: it ig frankly ad­ mitted by President Bryan that, all other things being equal, he has given preference to Democrats. It is not shown by the evidence that any bro- ken-down politicians have been dum­ ped upon the road, and, so far as we are informed, fitness, known or eup- r-0SM, has coiiirolled ill mftkittg fill appointment!:” With reference to thecharge concefri- ing the purchase of oil, the report says: “It is charged that oil has been pur­ chased from the National Oil Com­ pany at prices largely in excess of what the same grades of oil were of­fered by other responsible bidders, We attach but little importance to this charge, ih View iff the iorig 6xp§i'lenc8 Cf one lneniber bj your cdminittee tvitii lubricating oii:, We db, hot beiieve that one oil user out of a thousand can tfeil by examination nor even by use for A short period whether a cylinder oii is intrinsically worth thirty-one cents or seventy-five cents a gallon. The oil people know this, and exert themselves tn convince the purchaser that he needs a high-grade oil. Having suc­ceeded, they usually proceed to fur­ nish him the lowest grade which they believe will answer the purpose, at the price of the higher gi'ade which they have convinced him he heeds. It is shown iii the evidence, that President Patrick first iriade tiie dtel Cdm- plained of with the National Oil Com­ pany, and we presume that life thought he had about the light thing at about the right price. ‘It is a wise man who knows that he is ignorant,” and in our opinion it shows Mr. Bryan’s wisdom that he refused to change a relation­ ship which had proved satisfactory. It is sometimes better to bear the eviis we have than to fly to those we know not of, and this is certainly true if it is a question of oil. The Standard Oil Company made lower prices to the A. & N. C. Railroad than they were selling what waB supposed to be the same grades Of oil for to other roads, and surely in dealing with these people it is well to ‘fear the Greeks bearing gifts.’ ”In the matter of the purchase of wood the committee scores the man­ agement rather severely, and recom­mends the use of coal as being in the interest of economy as well as guaran­ tees a quicker schedule and better ser­ vice. The matter of stations is considered, and it is found that there has been a good deal of partiality shown in build­ing these, the better stations often being erectcd where they are least needed.It is also found that much careless­ ness has been the rule with regard to keeping the books of the-road and the plan of hauling unbilled freight is con­ demned.Free passes it is found have been issued recklessy and unnesessarily. Counsel has been employed. The hotel at Morehead City, the committee reports, should never have been purchased or run in connection with the road, and it is doubted whether its charter allowed this to be done legally. The fact that more than $6,000 loss resulted from one season’s business is evidence of gross misman­ agement. The committee insists that the hotel be disposed of in some way. The report is lengthy and cannot be given here in full. The members of the committee have done their work thor­ oughly and their report seems to indi­cate that they have tried to be fair to Dll parties and' to serve the best inter­ ests of the State.

The audience greet­ ed him many times with applause during his magnificient speech and which showed to them that he was dealiug with life as it really exists and was speaking the sentiments of those who had the pleasura of hearing such a beautiful address. The pictures he painted with his maguificient flow of oratory were beautiful aud pleasiug to behold in the mind’s eye, and as he would change from the comical to the tragical side of life’s picture, he would change the eouutenauce of those who listened attentively, from smiles into that of tears. H is efforts to please were not iu vain, Wheu he had finished his speech, beautiful boquets of lovely flowers were showered dowu upon him like rain, aud'to show his appieeiatiou for them, he said in part, “ I can imagiue and have often thought that there is but one thing sweeter than the little flowers which grow bud and bloom ou the sunny hills and in the flower gardens which lend their fragrance to the gentle breeze only to perfume the sultry air, aud that is, the young ladies who gives and present these love­ ly flowers.” After the evening programme was over, au annjuncement of the Lawu party was made to which everybody was invited by Miss Ohaffiu to attend at 8 P .

Read chapter 62 of that year and see what the ma­ chine Democracy will do. Col. ( leiveiand was a Revolutionary patriot who fought at the battle of King's inountian, and the county was named tor him, yet we find a Democratic legislature in the year ISS7 (!hanged the spelling of that uaaio, leaving out, the letter “ a” all because one Grover Cleveland a Democrat was presideut. W hat would the Democratic press have Riiil had the Republicans in 1S97 changed the name of Vance to McKinley? You would never have hearil the last of it. W hat will machine Democracy not do! JUDGES AND COURTS. The Observer has said from the XBE LIBERTY Off THE PRESS. W hile Judge Purnell may have beginning of this upheaval until |eired in tlie Josephus Daniels case now, it would recall that we have j w expressed regret ;that'unitormlv ve are of the opinion that Joseph- JOE DANIELS FOR CONTEMPT. Xo doubt Josephus felt like thc- Iiuke of Wellington at the battle (if Waterloo. Instead of Blueher ini doubt he wished tharf- Francis I). Winston and one of his Red- Sbirt brigades would come to IiiB r«eui“ Certain men in this State have Kmg thought they were above the law, especially the United State’s law, and constitution. Itis time they were being taught to re­ spect the courts and law. Josephus is too big a man to be amenable to the United State's courts and we are surprised at Judge Purnell Thelaws of North Carolina are ahove Ihe United State's laws and cunstitutioD, and no doubt Joseph­ us will appeal to Judge Clark for belli. the Federal power has been invok ed in the regulation of the affairs of the A tlantic & North Carolina Railroad, and that The Observer has been always for a lease in pre­ ference to a receivership. It is a poor compliment to The Observer that its Newbern contemporary has read it sj indifterently as not to have discovered this, At the same time—referring to the last case only— Mr. Cuyler, a non-resident, a stockholder of record through himself and his forebears, had an undoubted right to bring'his ac* tiou for a receiver through the United States Court, and-we do not see in this any teason for agitation The suggestion that those who con­ template a receivership with eqn- anipiity, are in sympathy with the United States authorities as against the State, is unjust, They recog­ nize the right of a federal judge to appoint a receiver for the proper­ ty upon a proper showiug, and, while regretting that the affair should take this course, would pre­ fer this to the abominable manage • m entof this State property dis­ closed by the report of the com­ mittee appointed by the Governor to investigate it. .Anything, is preferable to a continuance of ex­ isting conditions—preferably a lease: secondly a receivership: last­ ly a sale. A few words upon the larger question: W hy should the people fear or hate the Federal courts? l'he judges are our own people; the juries are our own people. These courts have stood us in good stead in times past. When, in the re­ construction days, our men of Or­ ange and Alamance and Caswell were imnnued in jails under mili­ tary order and the Supreme Court of North Carolina said that, “ the power of the judiciary was exhaus­ ted” and it could not help them, Judge Brooks, a Federal judge re­ leased them, They have not op­ pressed nor persecuted onr citizens but have stood gs a breakwater against the commission of wrong, audThe Observer, for its own part, honors them tor what they are and respects them as the militant repre­ sentatives of Uncle Sam, our fiist citizen. Our honorable contempo­ rary of Newbern cannot scare Tis by talk of “ Federal interference” nor scare anybody who realizes that U n cleS am isover us all and that for every wrong done under his do­ minion he somewhere provides re­ dress.—Charlotte Observer. us abused the liberty of the press. W hile the press has a right to cri­ ticise and comment on officials, it should be done in such a manner as not to bring the court into dis­ repute. There seems to be an in­ clination on the jiart of the people to have less respect for the courts and its Jndges. W e are of the opinion that the courts are not al­ together to blame for this condi­ tion. Though often the men ele­ vated to the bench, are men iu whom the people have little confi­ d e n t. and next to no respect, for the reason of their former acts as partisans. Ths judiciary should be above reproach and none but good men should beuelevated to the bench. Newspapers should be careful in criticising the acta of Judges, and proof postive should be at hand before they let fly at the fountain head of Jibei1Iy and good government. A thoughtless word often tarnishes the name' of a pure woman, and when once the blight of suspicion takes hold, the fair name is gone forever. The press is a power. May it always battle for the right, unbiased and unprejudiced. FlEbt W ill Be Hitter.

S r-P t TOMS OF INTEREST TO THE PUNTER. STOCKmN ANO TRUCK GROWER, -•**-« i U Street Potato CuUuro* Tb* sweet potato is par eicellettce i\io root, crop of tlie SoutbeVti States, offjiose it is suited to climatic and soil conditions as fotiud in these States. It is also one of the most provable and ^jjNfaotor4V crops that the Southern farmer can make either for market or home use, and t only state Wliat is a well known fact, that there is not another crop so universally grown as this crop, because it can be found oil the least piece of cleared land, where the foundation of the future farm is being: laid, to the largre fields of the old plantations where they count their :iorcs Kv the thousands. At this time every year n great many inquiries t-vjne 1o hand from parties newly moved into the Southern States, par- ijfiilnrly the Gulf States, as to the best methods of setting a satisfactory find profitable yield from this crop. v\»r it appears to be a well recognized iM that to the newcomer this is one of the crops that he can hardly fail in making something from. To such {,utitiirios t would say first of ail. see your land is well broken and put}- in good tiiib. If the land is old. ploitf us tieep us your soil will allow youji and a Iittlo deeper: if uew land is be- in* used don't plow deeper than your iop soil, but pulverize thoroughly wImt you do plow so as to make a thoroughly mellow bed for the young pounces to grow in. On our tough wire grass sod of the long leaf pine amis, it is 110; advisable to cut a large funow slice and a very small plow of the one horse type is recom­ mended to make a beginning with, be- •mu«c a huge slice will take a long iiuie in decaying and getting incor­ porated with the other soil. What I Mnviafiy commend, and have been pracl'ising personally for a number of .Years 011 this kind of land is a very narrow scooter, say about two inches wide, cutting and cross-cutting the land at the very first and going about six inches deep. This method of breaking new land mixes it all up thoroughly and goes deep enough to Wu a little subsoiling at the same time. This followed with the turning plow a few inches deep and again with har­ row and cnltivator makes an excel­ lent job on our stubborn wire grass soils. After the plowing, either old land cr uew should be treated to a good Miplieation of high grade fertilizer. The claim is often made that new' land does not require fertilizing. Perhaps Siiis is so. in a certain sense, blit the 7ar»n*i» who takes the iertility from Jiis soil that nature put there for a crop, without adding some more to it to make that crop, is a soil robber and il'o results will come back on him in aiicr years. It is a well recognized Tiic-i among all our best agricultur- ba*. that every crop grown on the farm must be provided with the nec- 'csijiry plant food for that crop in the form of the proper fertilizers for same. ITJie fertilizer for sweet potatoes should contain a liberal amount of phosphoric avid and potash. The nitrogen is not so imperative as in most of our soils, enough nitrogen is already present. ■An excess of nitrogen will promote the growth of the vine at the expense of Has root production, and it is root we arc after. In buying a fertilizer al­ ready made up as we find it on the market, the analysis of the same Nlmuid be about six per cent, potash and five or six phosphoric acid, From •>o pounds per acre up to 1000 pounds «-.in wjili safety be applied broadcast ?i:d worked well into the soil some Huso before the draws are ready to plant. A low broad bed is best to grow the crop in; plot culture duriug our rainy seasons of July and August tends to lessen the crop. I have tried both ways aul found the bed system by far the most satisfactory. And the Uubire of the crop with its excessive Yihe production is against any system that requires after cultivation when the crop is once planted. Tbe beds should be four feet apart and nicely rounded out on top. There is no crop made on the farm where keeping qual­ ities nre so essential as tin sweet po­ tato ^rop. for it is expected to keep all wiiiicr and well on in spring and to have these keeping qualities it must he well grown and as perfect in its nature as it is possible to make it; to get this quality in it is the mission or object of the potash in the fertil­ izer.—Southern Planter. £ilage For Steers* Profejsoi- A. Jf. Soule, of Tennessee, flisntsefl silage as a food for steers. His favorite crop for the silo Is sor- Sta:n. cut when rather ripe with a corn harvester, and allowed to wilt in bundles for one day in the field. The cost is Ji per ton in the silo. He found it as cheap to finish, in IoO days in win- ter. one lot of steers as to carry through the winter a.similar lot on a iMaintenaiicc ration and then to finish them while on pasture. Feeding only sorghum, silage and grain, chiefly cot­ ton seed taeal, he obtained 1442 pounds of beef from less than one acre of land, together with 2-i2 tons of grain. A maintenance ration of three pounds grain and silage gave a daily gain of 1.48 pounds; sorghum hay with same grain was almost the last two years before this only about feeding daily twelve pounds cotton seed meal with sorghum silage, the addition of eight pounds clover hay was naturally not jh-ofitable. Professor Soule recom­ mended the use of soy beaus mixed with carbonaceous Torage iu the silo, but preferred to grow the beans sep­ arate from the corn or sorghum. In growing together cowpeas and sor­ ghum, he bad been able to get only fifteen per cent, of legumes in the mix. ture. His method or sowing seed for this mixture was to use a two horse corn planter, sorghum In one box and cowpeas Iu the other, driving twice to each pair of rows. is 80.7 per ier- cent, of cent, and y bean bay former has Soja Ucans Fattening. As ibis is the period of the year that soja beans should be planted, the Agriculturist cannot refrain from urg­ ing its patrons to not neglect this valuable forage plant. It Is easily grown and it will put into each acre of soil where grown from ,CS to $10 of nitrogen, riant in rows about three feet apart, and one bean to each foot. The mature beans are as eagerly eaten by horses. The bean is as use- fnl to the horse as cotton seed meal is to the cow. The writer of this ex­ perimented with the soja bean fifteen years ago. and knows that it is a valuable plant for stock, and has known (lie bean to be parched and ground as a substitute for coffee. The fattening properties of the bean is re­ markable. In the bean meal there cent, of protein and 1<>.2 fat: in linseed meal 33.2 p 3 per cent. Comparing sc and dry corn fodder, the 15.4 per cent, of protein and 5.2 per­ cent. of fat. while the latter has 3.S per cent, and 1.1 per cent, j The green beans are also twice as rjeli in liicse respects as green corn. Thus it ap­ pears they afford a convenient feed for balancing the corn crop to make it a suitable ration for growing or fattening slock and for making milk. Ho not neglect to give this valuable forage plant, a place on your farm this spring.—Key. . PIactngof manure. Instead of spending your hard- earned money for eonimcrcial fertilis­ ers, why not pay more attention to the saving and care of manure and the placing of it to Ihc best, advantage on your field? This habit, when intelli­ gently carried out, is like compound interest on money—the interest soon doubles the principal. For cotton, po­ tatoes and other vegetables, drill the manure in the seed bed. For corn put about a single handful to the hill, at a distance of from t lircc to four feet apart. Drop one grain of corn on each side of the manure and close to it; cov. er and Iiarroiv well. Cultivate shal­ low and often. Be careful not to put too much dirt to your corn and cotton, —S. South, in Home and Farm. Oats For Fowls. Oats are wholesome for men. wom­ en, horses, hogs ami hens. If you have not a patch of oats, you should sow an acre now, though it may be late. Allow us lierc to suggest to the lady readers of the Southeru Agricul­ turist that a gallon of oats put on the fire and boiled ten minutes will be a gallon and a third next morning, and if fed to heus warm will fill up their crops and put them in the notion of giving the feeder an egg for such a breakfast. A quart of wheat bran added to the warm oats will give strong bones to fowls and keep their digestive powers in a healthy condi­ tion.-.1. I -..Al ■ Claesifying Hides. It is stated that packers have agreed to classify cattle hides according to the number of warble holes In each hide. Prime hides must uot con­ tain more than four warble holes. It is a well-known fact, and obvious, that the presence of these grubs is a cause of much irritation to animals and pro­ duces loss of flesh. The treatment for this parasite is comparatively simple and should be promptly applied. There is little excuse for hides of domestic cattle being thrown out of the first- class by reason of warble holes. Fov Lawn anti Garden.

St. Petersburg; By Cable.—The best informed circles attach no importance to the reports that Gen. Kuropatkin has detached a large force from his army at Liao Yang and dispatched it south­ ward to relieve Port Arthur, and it is distinctly denied that Emperor Nich­ olas personally ordered such a move­ ment. It can be authoritatively stated that the Emperor’s confidence In Ku- ropatkin is unshaken and his majesty is not attempting to interfere with his plan of campaign. While no such army has been dispatched southward, it is natural that Kuropatkin will do all possible to harass General ORu's rear. The railroads have been kept open as far as Vafangow, 25 miles above Kin Chou, and it is not unlikely, since the Japanese have failed to push through a line across the head of the Liao Tung peninsula, that several thousand Rus­ sian troops may be sent down the rail­ road to impede the Japanese operations and inflict as much damage as possible, as these could be easilV withdrawn by railroad if the enqmy threatened to cut the line of communication above. Even the loss of a few regiments would be considered cheap if the Japanese op­ erations against Port Arthur were thereby retarded for an appreciable time. However, it is realized that with the Japanese occupation of Port Dalny and Talien-Wan as bases for landing siege guns, the small force above Kin Chou could accomplish but little, and it is now more likely to be withdrawn, destroying the railroad as it retires northward. For strategic purposes Kuropatkin may be trying to make the Japanese believe that a movement southward is contemplated, inr order to divert Kurokis’ attention in that direction. The Impression is be­ ing thrown out In certain quarters here that Knropatkin is about to take the offensive and that an engagement with Kuroki is imminent. But, so far as can be ascertained, there is no solid foundation for this. It is unquestion­ able, however, that’ the railroad is pouring troops into Manchuria at the rate of almost 2,500 a day anjt it will not be long at the present rate before the Russian commander-in-chief will be at least on equal terms with any force the enemy can bring against him. The general staff is keeping very dark about the whereabouts and pur­ poses of the Cossacks reported to be working around Kuroki’s rear, and the number of raiders operating in Korea. Japs Occupy Dalny, Washington, Special.—The Japanese legation gave out the following dis­ patch from the home government at Toklo, embodying a report from Gen. Oku as follows: “Gen. Oku, command­ ing the army operating against Port Arthur, reports that our troops occu­ pied Dalny on May 30. Over 100 ware­ houses and barracks, besides telegraph oflices and railway station were found uninjured. Over 200 railways cars are usable, but all small railway bridges in the neighborhood are de­ stroyed. All dock piers, except the great pier, which was sunk, remain uninjured. Some steam launches were also found sunk at the mouth of the dock.” Wage Cut Postponed. Fall River, Mass., Special.—At a meeting of local cotton goods manufac­ turers it was voted to postpone indefi­nitely the proposed cut of 10 per cent, in wages of employes. The cut was to have been made June 11, provided such action was agreed upon by operators of 2,000,000 spindles. It was stated that manufacturers representing' only 1,- 500,000 spindles had agreed to a wage curtailment. Cyclone Does Damage. Omaha, Neb., Special.—Reports from Tekamah, which was struck Thursday night by a tornado, indicate that about twenty persons were injured, some of tbem seriously. There were no fatali­ ties. The storm wrecked most of the buildings in its path, which was a block in width and several blocks long. The apera house, two general stores and sev­ eral residences were destroyed. A high school commencement rehearsal was in progress in the opera house when the storm struck the building, carrying away the roof and partially wrecking the walls. A number of pupils were in­ jured.

A eurlous privilege attaches to the office of mayor of Limerick. From time immemorial the mayor has claimed the right to a quarter of a ton of coal out of every cargo import­ ed Into tbe town. The coal merchants recently objected to paying this trib­ ute, and a test case was taken to the local quarter sessions. The magis­ trates decided in favor of the mayor. That official receives over 100 tons of coal from this source every year and distributes it among the poor Of the town, although there is Ho legai rea­ son why he should not use it for his own private purposes.

CORRECT VIEW, W etrust that we have a due sense of the rights of the press and a due appreciation of the dignity of the editorial profession. Y et ac- nutomed as we are to look at both : ides of all questions we cannot lose sight nf the fact that official serv­ ant? and private citizens have rights also and that one of these is tne rigid to protection from venomous attacks as persion of their characters «■!,011 they have doue nothing cor­ ruptly wrong. The liberty of the Jii C?? is oue of the safeguards of the people but liberty is oue thing aud liccme another: and any honest inaa priest or layman who is per- (.!.-,Gntly and with bad intent held up to the execration ot the world is entitled to redress out of the hide of his detractor or otherwise. Jud­ ge Purnell could hardly be expect- ail to submit forever to the detrac­ tion of Mr. Daniels which was of such sort as to bring him into con­ tempt. aud his court into disrepute. The ret! fire, the hurrah, the glorifi­ cation and the free advertising are incidents ol' the case. The proposi ion bawever that the liberty of- respectful criticism is oue thing aud the license of abii'e another holds guild.—Ularlotte OdserveK Wlial docs Josephus Daniels cars iilii iit the liberty of the peo pie er ihe safeguards of the people? Jor Daniel aud a few others of his ilk could not edit a paper were I hey I o leave out abuse and miw- iipioentatioii of those who differ with them. The yellow journals thrive on just such stuff. Buffa Io calves were not raised on the right kind of m ilk. Tbe leopard ciiriuot cliauge his spots. Liberty aud license are one and the same with him. TBKEE QUESTIONS, Much is being said at this time in the newspapers about The At­ lantic & North" Carolina Bailroad Beeeivership ease, Judge Peebles and the Lugiberton lawyers and their contempt case, and on top of this over it all Josephus Daniels aud Jndge Purnell gets up a mess among messes. S om con eisiu the' wrong, bnt- who is it, is a hard question to decide. Now if the present management of the Bail- road is honest and doing its best w hy is it the road from the depots along its line up to the best pass­ enger car on the road are in bad repair and are of the old style at least 25 years behind tim e. Then again it any of the charges against Judge Peebles he true he should no longer he Judge for a drunkard is not fit for anything in the world much less a judge, one who has the lives aud freedom of many men in their hands, and if it be not true the ones who planned it should be punished. Ho of the three questions that is causing so much talk iu our State now; all the conclusion we can come to is, there is something rotten some­ where on one or the other side, aud the jray to find which it is, is just be still and .von- will see them eoveringit up. W ho is it that has the pick and shovel of the Demo­ cratic laws of N. 0 . in their hands at the preseut time and are digging and shoveling to get the stink aud rotten mess ot the management of the Atlantic & North CaroIiua Bailroad, which McBee dug out, out of sight where the people can’t see and smell it!

The democrats have broke loose lik elh ed ev il at a camp meeting and are hollering all over the State that the republican party is controlled by oflice holders aud of­ fice seekers. Of course they all know it isada.ni liebut it probably suits them that much the better. But granting for argument’s sake that it is true, is not the democratic party in the same or even a worse plight? They tell us that wherever you find a republican leader that there yon find a man wanting or holdiugau office. I dare you point to a democratic leader who is no- an office wanter or office holder. That's what they are at it for. Our frieud Hort Bower Baid in his Wilkesboro speech that he was out ‘bushwhacking a little.” What was he bushwhacking for? Kor oflice But then iu the next breath he lambasts the Bepublicans because they want office. The Bepublicaus want office, of course they do, but their greed f r office is nothing to compare with the greed of the Democi ats. The Democrats tried to impeach the Judges ol the Supreme c«urt. W hat for? In order that Demo crats might gee in their plnce3. The Democrats maintained red shirt brigades and marched throu­ gh eastern OaroIina- armed with shotguns, winchesters, revolvers and gatling guns, tcrroizing Un­ people and foiciiig them to vole the Democratic ticket. W hat for? Kor oflice. The Democratic registrars refus­ ed to register qualified voters all over the Slate. - W hat for? Ju a .- dcr that Demccrats might be elect c.l-to office!

A Volume oi such iucideuts could b i cited and yet the Democrats hoi ler greedandgraffcat the Eepnb- lieaus- NVhat is it that is sending the Democratic spell binders up and down the state!1' It is their inclination to grab everything go­ ing, their desire to graft claim onto a fat position and their eternal greed for oflice. How was it when the Democrats had their nose in uncle Barn’s corn crib! "Holding office was the thing then. Simmons got a taste and he was at once made the leader of the party. NVho ever heard of the Democrats grumbling about office holders when they could enjoy the emoluments of the office! It comes with bad grace aud utter inconsis­ tency for the Democrats to be criti­ cising the Bepublicans for wanting office when they themselves are verily famishing for office. There is no use of the kettle throwing up black face to the pot. The Demo­ crats want office just as bail or worse than the Republicans, and they dare not deny it.:—State Republican, Kevolatloja Imminent* A sure sign of approaching re­ volt and seriana trouble iu your system is nervousness, sleeplessness or stomach upsets.

HER VIEW No Intention to Modify the ReguIa- tione Defining Contraband of War —Rice an Important Article of Food in the Japanese Army. St. Petersburg, By Cable.—The Rus­ sian government has not yet returned an answer to British Ambassador Harding, relative to his government's protest at Russia's declaration that rice and other foodstuffs are contra­ band of war, but the Associated Press learns that there is no intention on the part of the government to make modifications to meet the British view. .The protest is based on the rule observed by Great Britain during the Boer war, that even foodstuffs des­ tined for a hostile country could be considered contraband of war only if intended for an enemy’s forces. A high Russian official called attention to the fact that at the breaking out of the war Russia was compelled to stop at San Francisco a cargo of meat des­ tined for Yladisvostoek, in order to avoid its possible capture in conse­ quence of the Japanese declaration that it would be regarded as contra­ band. “Rice is an important article of food in the Japanese army, and the question whether it should be de­ clared contraband was carefully con­sidered when the regulations were being framed,” said this official, “and the declaration reported by Russia entirely justified such an action. The British government is'disposed to re­gard the question as an academic one, but shouid steamers which are being equipped as auxiliary cruisers pro­ ceed to the Pacific and make captures of sbips loaded with provisions, com­ plications could easily arise.” Diplomatic circles are interested in the attitude the United States will adspt in the matter. Piladivostock Fleet BoIdJ 'London, By Cable.—The Standard's correspondent at St. Petersburg hears that a telegram from Vice-Admiral Skreydloif states that on June 7th he went within thirty miles of Port Ar­ thur with the Vladisvostock fleet, and t here ran into a fog. He found sever­ al Japanese torpedo boats and battle­ ships, which attacked him fiercely and inflicted some damage. The Russian- returned the fire, but as none of the Port Arthur ships appeared, Vice-Ad­ miral Skreydloff returned to Vladi­ vostok, where he arrived Friday morning. The Daily Mail’s correspon­ dent at Japanese headquarters, tele­ graphing under date of June 11, says four strong Japanese columns have occupied Suen Chow, Saimatsza, Liao Waling and Siu Yen. Suen Chow is 85 miles east of. Mukden and Liao Waling five miles northwest of Siu Yen. Submarine Boat is Merchandise. Washington, Special.—The United States government has received no information regarding the reported sale to the government of Japan of the lake submarine boat Protector, and the Navy Department does not know whore the boat is. But it makes little difference from an inter­ national point of view what has be­ come of this boat, in the opinion of the State Department, since Hamil­ ton Fish, when Secretary of State, laid down an opinion, to * the effect that a torpedo boat, capable of being carried on the deck of a ship, might properly be regarded as an article of merchandise and so might be sold to belligerents, without violation of neu­ trality, but subject to the risk of seizure on the high seas. Burial of Russian Dead. Tokio, By Cable.—The military com­ mission assigned to bury the Russian dead in the battle of Nanshan Hill, at Km Chou, May 26, presented its final report. It was found that ten Russian officers and 664 men who fell in the battle had been carefully buried and 30 men were buried by the out- posts, making the total number of killed left behind by the Russians 704. Abner McKinley Dead. Somerset, Pa., Speclal-Abner Mc­Kinley, brother of the late President, was found dead in a chair at his home at 8 o’clock Saturday morning. His death came without warning to his family, it was due to Bright’s disease, which developed shortly after the death of his distinguished brother, three years ago. Since then Mr. KinIey has devoted nearly all his time in a vain effort to overcome the fatal malady, consulting the most eminent physicians and traveling from one climate to an­ other. Two weeks ago he returned from Tampa, Fla., where he had been for six weeks. The sufferer was not confined to bed, and yesterday after­noon took a drive into the country accompanied by his wife. Russian Train Driven Back. Tokio, By Cable.—Rear Admiral To - go reports that on Tuesday a part of B bombarded the west coastof the Liao Tung peninsula near rvai- chau and drove back a military train that was approaching southward. No trains have been seen since. The ene­ my wiv5 moving in troops and throw- JUg up works, evidently expecting a landing of Japanese troops on that point and making all preparations to prevent it. SmalLgunboats sent close m by Rear Admiral Togo bombarded Russians at work and it is believed caused consderable damage. Gets Two Years. Macon, Ga., Special.—In the Uto'UJ States Court Saturday morning Judge Spears passed sentence upon David A.

The defendant ■was charged with embezzlement of money coming into the hostoffioe He was sentenced to two years in the Fed­ eral priBon at Atlanta and ordered to return the amount of the shortage DELEGATES UNINSTRUCTED Delegates to the National Democratic Convention As to Their Action. Richmond, Va., Special.—The State Democratic convention reassembled Friday and adopted the platform just as it came from the committee. The Question of instructing the delegates to St. Louis for Parker came up and Sen­ ator Daniels spoke in opposition' to either endorsement or instruction. Mr. Braxton favored expressing prefer­ ence for Parker. Senator Martin spoke against endorsement of, or instructions for, Parker, and the convention de­ clined to endorse or instruct. The con­ vention adopted the primary plan as amended by the convention commit tee. It provides that all State offices shall be nominated by a Becret primary ballot and the election safeguarded by all the laws thrown around regular elections to prevent fraud. The conven­ tion then adjourned. Revolutionary noiiument. Mrs. H. W. Richardson, State regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution, has written the Columbia State the following in regard to the monument to the memory of Revolu­ tionary generals which will be erected on the State house grounds: "The Daughters of the American Revolution of South Caroliha desire to thank Mr. Washington A. Clark for the eloquent address delivered on the evening of the 19th of May at Winthrop college, for the benefit of the State monument to be erected to the partisan generals and soldiers of the Revolutionary war from South Carolina, "Mr. Clark's ad- aiess was impressively delivered and his beautiful portrayal of the influence of the women in the Revolutionary war was a splendid tribute to them. “The D. A. R. of the State fully appreciate the kindness of this gifted young law­ yer in accepting their invitation to speak and Winthrop college is inspired by his fine address to deeper interest In patriotic endeavor. To President John­ son, the st-udents of the college and the teachers who interested themselves on this ocacsion, the D. A. R. also return sincere thanks for the sum added to the monument fund. Mrs. Hugh B. Buist, regent of the Catawba chapter, and the members of this chapter we owe thanks for their cooperation with President Johnson and his college, King’s Mountain chapter sent a dele­ gation to Rock Hill to represent them-.’’ Miners' Federation Replies. Denver, Col., Special.—The executive board of the 'Western Federation of Miners has issued a statement regard­ ing the situation in Cripple Creek, in reply to the statement made by Gen­ eral Sherman M. Bell and Secretary C. C. Hamlin, of the Cripple Creek Dis- tict Mine Owners’ Association. It says: "The only questions involved are the enforcement of the eight-hour day, the right of men to organize in the unions and to prevent discrimination against union men of all kinds. The responsi­bility for the lawlessness connected with the contests rests entirely on the shoulders of the mine operators, the Citizens’ Alliance and their allies, backed up by the ready power of the State government.1’ The events of the past week, the statement says, justify these accusa­ tions. The statement says no deaths have occurred for which the Western Federation of Miners can be held re­ sponsible. Won Championship. Norfolk, Va., Special.—H. C. Allen, o.’ New York, defeated J. C.

Duke, of New York, gave to this fund I tract Of land adjoining the Trinity tract, valued at $50,000,. and an addi­ tional $50,000 in cash. In addition to these gifts other private donations trom members of the board of trustees were announced amounting to $6,000. This places the donations of the day at $106,000. The only condition placed apon the gifts is that the Methodist people of North Carolina shall raise an additional $50,000. President Kilgo an- aounced that this would be no hard matter and that the woman’s college to be known as Woman's Anhex to Trinity, is now ah assured fact. Cashed Forned Checks. Asheville, Special.—It was Teamed here that something over $200 worth of forged checks have recently been cashed by the Battery Pai'K Bank, of this city, and that the party guilty of the forgery is Dick Johnson, now in jail on a charge of being implicated in several robberies that were commit­ ted here about ten days ago. The same day Johnson was arrested, payment on a check forged by him was refused, and other alleged forged checks were found in his possession. It is said that the cheeks cashed by the bank have been compared wiui the checks m the pos­ session of the officers, and that the handwriting is the same. The forgery was not discovered until the pass book of the person whose name had been forged was balanced and the depositor denied having drawn the checks.

The shooting took place at the plant of the brick compa­ ny, about four miles south Of that city. After the shot was fired and Steel re­ alized that the wound was-mortal, he ran and escaped from his fellow work­ men, who pursued him. The men had been at outs for several days. Shortly _.ter 8 o’clock Tuesday morning, while the men were at work, the quarrel was renewed. After much cursing ^ and abuse on each side, Steel drew-his re­ volver and fired at Mitchell’s breast. One shot was enough, for it pierced Mitchell’s heart. The authorities at Roxboro have been advised that the governor will not in­terfere with the sentence of Adam Hunt, who is to be hanged at that place June loth, for the murder of Het- wood Wilkins. Petitions have recently been circulated and* presented to the governor,-one asking that the sentence b** commuted to life Imprisonment, the other that the sentence be not inter­ fered with. There is quite a strong sen­ timent among numbers of the best cit­izens, especially the lawyers, that it was a very close case and that the evi­dence did not warrant a verdict in the first degree. ® Governor Aycoek* has respited until July 12th Archie Lipscombe, who is in jail at Oxford under-sentence of death for the murder of another Negro, named Merritt, whom he believed to be a conjurer. The respite is for the purpose of enabling the Governor to .look more closely into the matter of the sanity of Lipscombe. A great many letters in regard to this case are being received by'the Governor. Many of the writers say Lipscombe is either insane or else so extremely super­ stitious and ignorant that he was in mortal dread of Merritt, and believed that the latter could. caste or had caste, “spells” upon him NORTH STATE.CR0P8 The Past MIeek has Favored Cultiva­ tion. The past week was decidedly favor­ able for agricultural interests in almost every respect. At most places the drought was broken by copious show­ ers, the weather was much warmer and the condition of crops Improved ma­ terially everywhere. The rainfall was heaviest early In the week, though at some points showers occurred nearly every day; the amount received was somewhat excessive In the following counties, where the land was washed, and cultivation prevented for a few days: Orange, Northampton, Anson, Randolph, Wilkes, Alexander and Ire­ dell; generally the rainfall was moder­ ate In amount but highly beneficial to all kinds of vegetation. The tempera­ ture for the week was much higher, the mean averaging for the State more than 5 degrees daily above the normal; towards the close of the week maximim above. 90 degrees occurred at most places, stations in the central part re­ porting as high as 97 degrees on Sun­ day, June Sth, There was also abun­ dant sunshine. Except in the few coun­ ties where the rainfall was heaviest and where , farm wofk was stopped and grass has mads some headway, crops are clean and well cultivated, and farmers are generally well up with their work. Cotton though still somewhat small has made rapid growth during the past week, and as chopping is neafiy AVer the stands are reported much improv­ ed; on early cotton in the extreme southern portion squares are beginning to form; very few complaints of dam­ age by lice have been received. Corn is growing rapidly, and is generally being worked second time; there is now but little left to be planted. The rains this week gave farmers an excellent oppor­ tunity to transplant tobacco, and this work-is now approaching completion; the crop is smaller than usual, but is starting off well. Early wheat and rye are ripening, and though low, the heads are well filled; some fields are ready for cutting and harvest will ,be­ gin next week; winter oats are not good; spring oats are beginning to head: A poor stand of peanuts is re­ ported, and a good deal of replanting of this crop is being done. A large num­ ber of sweet potato slips were set dur­ ing the week. Digging Irish potatoes Is underway in the east, with ft fair yield, and shipments of potatoes and beans, are going forward. Bugs are somewhat troublesome in the west, but the Irish potato crops have improved considerably during the past week. Peaches are ripening in the south, and a fair crop is expected in many coun­ ties; apples continues to drop from the trees ifi some sections; blackberries will be abundant: Postoffices Robbed. Asheville, Special—The postoffices at Canton and Clyde, on the Murphy branch of the- Southern Railway, were broken lfitfi dfid rubbed Sunday morn­ ing and a quantity of stamps, envel­ opes and other postoffice supplies, to­ gether with several hundred dollars stolen. The office at Clyde was entered first and the larger amount of boodle was secured at that place. Besides supplies, $200 in money was found at Clyde. Jbe robbers, after getting in their work at this dffice rode horse- ek, it is said, to Canton, where the second robbery was committed. The Canton office was robbed about 4 o’clock Sunday morning. Information of the robberies were received by the police officers here yesterday. Efforts are being made to apprehend the rob­ bers, biit So far these efforts have prov­ ed unsuccessful. Captain W. H. Day Stricken. Raleigh, Special.—About 7:30 o’clock Monday morning Capt William H. Day of Raleigh, one of the best known law­ yers in the State, was stricken with paralysis and has not recovered con­ sciousness ot spoken. His right side is affected. For a year or more he has done a vast amount of work and it was said by several of his brother law­ yers that he had really overworked himself. His age is 58, and at the age of 19 he came out of the Confederate army a captain, after having served four years. Success of Russians Reported. Liao Yang, By Cable--It is persist­ ently reported here that the Port Ar­ thur squadron made a sorie shortly be­ fore dawn Saturday, with the torpedo destroyers leading, and found the Jap­ anese fleet quite unsuspecting the pres­ ence of hostile warships, with the re- sulF that four of the Japanese ships were sunk during the attack.

Laurinburg, Special.—A record- breaking hail-storm fell upon this county Friday afternoon, beginning about 5 o'clock and continuing an hour. The hailstones were drifted from one to two feet deep and were five to six inches deep on the level. Hail was still on the ground this morning. The growing crops in its path, principally cotton, were totally ruined, its sweep was some three miles wide, and is known to have been 20 miles in length. The damage cannot be safely estimated. Twenty-five farmers in town reported their crSps either whol­ ly or partially devastated, This disas­ ter covers some of the finest cotton farms in the State. Missionary Society Meets. Brevard, Special.—The annual con­ ference of the Women’s Home M sion Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, Western North Carolina Conference, convened here Saturday morning at 9:30 o’clock.

State ' Veterinarian Tait Butler writes that the meeting at Columbus, Polk county, of persons interested In cattle raising, was very largely at­ tended and proved valuable. He went from that place to Statesville and Taylorsville and was at North Wilkes- boro, securing the co-operation of the people in , getting rid of the cattle- ticks which cause the Texas fever. The assistant Of Prof. Butler has re­ turned from 'the penitentiary farm on the. Roanoke, where he investigated staggers in mules. There were eight cases, four fatal, these being out of 75 mules at one of the convict camps. The disease is on the order of what is known as forage poisoning, which two years ago killed so many horses and ifiiiies in the northeastern counties. Dr. Butier finds that there are more than one kind of this disease. Mary Virginia Rhodes, heiress of Cecil Rhodes, the diamond king, whose whereabouts has been a mystery for several years, has turned up in Ashe­ ville. She is now Mrs. Mary Virginia Rhodes Baker. Mary Virginia Rhodes has been advertised for far and wide. Mrs. Baker has been engaged to do missionery work in the mountains where she barely eked out a living. It was by the merest chance that she dis­ covered that she was heir to the great fortune. Her identity was disclosed while in conversation with friends. Mr. C. W.

The commutation to life imprison­ ment of the'sentence of Munn, the ne­ gro who was to be hanged at Fayette­ ville on Wednesday, the 15th instant, was somewhat of a surprise to the gen­ eral public, though it is said nobody is grumbling, for the country is very glad to be spared the execution. In his order to Sheriff Marsh, Governor Aycock merely mentions it as a case for ex­ecutive clemency. Mr. Monroe Troxler, of Huffines bot­ tling works, in Greensboro, came near losing his.life Wednesday morning by the explosion of a bottle of soda water. The flying glass cut an artery ' in his arm, and before a physian, could reach him it looked like he would die from less of blood.- He had revived at last reports and was considered out of dan- ger.

PEACE FEELING IN THE AIR Ih e Success of the Japanese' Anns Was No Surprise to England, How­ ever—Possibility That the Czar May Abdicate—ltm nors of ltusslan Vpris- inrs—Internal Troubles of the Em pire. London, Eng. — Japan's unbroken and overwhelming success is produc­ ing some curious effects on European opinion. Continental sympathies have been largely pro-Russian and were couiiletl until very recently with the conviction that the war would soon, demonstrate the military superiority Ot Kussian anus. It was especially feared in liuancial circles that’ such a disillusionment as was afforded by the storming of the heights ot Nanshan would demoralize Franco nnd cause a serious collapse on the bourses. The real effect has been curiously different. The com­pleteness of the Russian disaster seems to have created the impression that pence is not far off. Europe has apparently suddenly jmnpiHl to tlie conclusion that Rus­ sia. rather than carry ou a useless war, will sue for terms. The reversal- of opinion throughout the Continent seems almost universal among ordi­ nary observers. Kor is much sympathy wasted up­on Russia. Her prestige has well nigli vanished and with it has gone that mingled awe and respect wljich constituted her greatness in European eyes. English nnd American opinion was prepared for Japan’s sudden leap into equality with any master of arms known to the modern world. To Europe the revelation has come as an utter surprise. U is strange that? this momentous event is accepted al­ most without resentment and without apprehension, despite Russia’s studied attempts in. anticipation to arouse fear of Yellow Peril among Western nations. Admiral Togo's earlier naval successes caused more serious disturb­ ance than this decisive display of his countrymen's supremacy in the art of war. • Nowhere outside of Russia is credit for this marvelous achievement at Ivinchau stinted or questioned. It is even conceded Iiy most military, authorities that the -Tapanese sue-, ceeded where the best European troops would have liinched and failed. When it comes to a question of early peace diplomatic opinion is not in ac­ cord wUli that of general observers. It is expected that General Kouropat- kin will be crushed, or, at best, driven in demoralized retreat to Harbin. Diplomatists are conviuced, however, that Russia canuot under those cir­cumstances seek peace. It is argued that tlio only means by which such a result could bo reached would be by arbitrary act of the Czar, and sneh move would probably be followed by his abdication, voluntary or co­ erced. Evidence accumulates of a grave revolutionary spirit throughout Rus­ sia. The wav has not served to pacify or uuite the country, and a national disaster does not arouse patriotism, although for that matter , the masses are quite ignorant of the extent of the humiliation of Russian arms. Jt is impossible, however, to per­ ceive any chance of success of violent uprisings. AU the troops sent to the front eoinimie to be from reservists whose rime has expired and who have becu recalled to the colors. The regu­lar troops are retained in European Russia for use in any revolutionary movement. They are so distributed that nowhere is there any personal sympathy between the rank and file' and the population of tbe district where they are stationed. Au unarmed populace, no matter how desperately rebellious, is utterly helpless in such circumstances. Neverilieless wholesale secret con­ demnations. executions and disappear­ ances continue until there is a veri­table reign of terror in many districts. SOUTHERN VETERAN HANGED.

This means that the appoint­ ment of Mr. Knox is for the unexpired term, ending. March 4,1905, Philadelphia. — Attorney-General Knox, who was selected by the Re­ publican StaAe leaders to succeed M. S. Quay in the United States Senate, in an interview said: My retirement from the Cabinet will in no way affect the policy of the administration. -Kr. Roosevelt will ex­perience no difficulty in selecting a man who will continue to represent the principles lie stands for and carry out the national policy as set down by him. mI cannot conceive how my retire­ ment as Attorney'Genera I will affect the presidential campaign.. I have no fear that the action of the leaders of the Republican party of Pennsylvania in deciding to present my name for the Senatorship will be made a cam­paign issue. One individual cannot in­ jure the chances of President Roosc- velt. “I did not give the slightest thought to the Senatorship until I was asked if I would agree to accept it if it were tendered to me. I replied that if my name was viewed with favor by the party throughout the State I would consider it a high honor to succeed Senator Quay.” . Asked if he would immediately re­ sign his Cabinet position, Mr. Knox said: ‘*1 have no reason to as yet. My actions will be guided by after de­ velopments.” 3000 Petitions iu Behalf of Aged Mur­ derer of No Avail. Paragould. Ark.—Mart V. Vowell1 an aged while man and a Confederate veteran, was hanged here for the mur­der of W. F. LoveJoy. The town was filled with people from adjoining towns and counties. In May Governor Davis considered a petition signed by 1200 residents of Clay and Greene counties, asking a commutation of the sentence, and aj; the same time another petition was received bearing 1500 signatures. The Governor steadily refused to in­ terfere. though numerous delegations wailed on him. It is said that 342 messages were received iu one day from Confederate camps, requesting: Governor Davis to commute the sen­ tence. ! ' MRS. ELIAS SET . FREE. Negress Discharged After Aged Ac­ cuser Fails .to Substantiate Charges. Newr York City.—As a surprising cli­ max to a series of incidents full of sur­ prises that had takeu place since the name of Hannah EIias first was men­ tioned in connection with the murder of Andrew H. Green, came the dis­ charge of the negress on the charge of having extorted almost $700,000 from John R. Plattl She left the court-room of Magistrate Ommen, sitting iu Spe­ cial Sessions, a free woman, the prose­ cution having been dropped on request of Acting District Attorney Rand. Af­ ter examining the old complainant and Lyman E. Warrenr his lawyer, Mr. Rand said the prosecution had no evi­ dence on which to sustain the charge of extortion. The spectacle presented on the wit­ ness stand by the venerable John R. Platt, wealthy merchant, former Union soldier and on?-tii»c president of the Volunteer Firemen of this city, was one of the most pitiable ever witnessed in a courtroom. Intirm. his mind al­ most a blank. Iiis figure bent, his head drooping listlessly, he was forced to tell of his relations with the Ellas woman. As step by step, his Jife was unfolded by the questions of the prosecuting at­ torney, a flash of intelligence would light up his face uow and then, and his answer would be oeherent. Bnt most of the time his mind was a blank, and nil the prodding <>f his questioner could not rekindle the dying embers of his failing memory.After her release the Elias woman was served with the order of arrest in the civil suit brought by Mr. Platt to recover the money she has got out of him. She immediately gave $20,000 bail and was released. She went to her handsome house In Central Park West, a mob chasing her carriage for blocks. W IT a^H U M O R o f T H E D A Y Source of Joy.

Catarrh of the Kidneys a Common Bis Sidney Trouble Often Fails to sgaraetl as Catarrh by Physi-Be Uegardi cians. Catarrh o. the kidneys is very common indeed. It is a pity this fact is not better known to the physicians as well as the peo' le. People have kidney disease. They take some diuretic, hc '«n? to got better. They never onee think of catarrh. Kidney dis* ease and ca'arrh are seldom associated in the minds *? -...o people, a i, alas, it is not very often associated in the iainds of the physiei ns. Too few physicians recog­ nize catarrh of tuo Kidne: j.. They doctor for something else. They try this remedy Wisdom of the Barber. “It always makes me tired,” said the old barber, “when a man tells me to quit wasting so much time rubbing in the lather and hurry along with his shave. If he only knew it, he is lay­ ing a sure foundation for a chapped and sore face. The reason for using soap in shaving is to remove the grease always close to the skin, and on the surface of the beard. This can not be done without rubbing it well in. Many persons who shave themselves do not understand this, and wonder why they have sore faces. They blame the bay rum, and change off to witch hazel or something else. Rub­ bing the soap in well makes the beard soft and pliable. It also lessens the chances of the razor slipping. Al­ ways rub the lather well iu with the fingers; never with the brush. What must one think of a man who has not time enough to let the barber shave him properly, but who spends ten min­ utes chatting with the girl at the cigar counter, or with the manicure girl, on his way out of the shop?” uid that remedy. The trouble may be catarrh all the time. A few bottles of leruna wo 11 cure them.

Around thy lonely door, clings ivy to the wall, Shrouds with its bloom the hidden Style. The mourners are scattered now W ho oft have sought thy shrine, Same with bent form, silvered brow Are left on the sinking sands of time, For a hundred years thou hast stood, And offered the olive branch of peace, To soothe the souls. of dying men, who would Before thine alter, their fetters of sin release, Thou hast kept vigils o’er the birth and of men; Many of whom, repose near thy sacred gate As if to list lor the voluntary and amen, Audto await alike their inevitable fate. Thou hast seen the light of other years, Thy mission on earth is ended, We note with sighs, sobs and (.ears Thy death an d drapery about thee suspended. One more word about the mortals j that rest, To the west of thy moss covered spire. Some souls are lost, some are blessed, Some are called up higher. Some are marked; some nuknown, The sunset gilds each silent grave, But thistles, alas, above have grown, And the green grass above them wave.

The endorsement Editor Daniels Ins received from If GH UP, licenses the press of the State to say what it pleases, provided it Stiinds in with the poweis that be. —1Ti ines-Mnrcury. Yes, Mr. Daniels seeuis to think he liiis it perfect right to abuse the Judge, but whether he violates the law or not is not the question. While we may criticise Judges and courts, it strikes us that we should do it only with the idea, of correct­ ing emir, and preventing a repeti­ tion. We should not bring the courts into contempt, for the less respect the people have iur the courts and Judges, the more law­ lessness will we have. Mr. Dauicls and Iis ilk are sowing Ihe seeds of anarchy, and the inoeentare likely to nsip the harvest. PERTINENT INQUIRIES. The report of the experts show that the affairs of the late treasurer ot lleurico couutyaie in aii ugly muss, and the question forces itself iipiiu Hi r UKpiiring taxpayers, why was nut this state of things dis­ covered licfoiel Why was it neees miry to wait until the treasurer re tir«i from office before an investi­ gation of his liooks was made f It is remarkable, indeed, that the State should be so eareleas (if its interests and the interests ot the taxpayers. If the treasurer’s books had been regularly inspeeted froiii year to year, this disgrace had never been. Both he and the COiiuty would have been saved. Auotiier inquiry : Who knows hut what the Ixioks of other county treasurers are in the same muddle! Who can stand up aud say for cer­ tain that every treasurer in the State of Virginia is keeping his accounts correctly and honestly f W these things may be at tbe court­ house of Henrico, which is almost within the shadow of the State Gtpitol, what reason is there to believe that affairs are any better in cinnities which are remote I Let the taxpayers take these questions to hand.—Times-Dispatch, U-Iimoud is, and has been, con Irolied for .years by the Democrats, yet we see from the above that a Democrat official lias gone wrong. R’k uo harm for Democratic office holders to steal the people’s money, hut let a Republican get his hands on a few dollars aud the devil is to P*}’. It is all wroug for officials to the people's money, for their own purpuses, but it is as much Meiiliugial- a Democrat as it is for a cIlUhlicrn, but it makes a big difl'tTeuec whose ox is gored.

One curious phenomenon in Horth Carolina is the suggestion by certain papers that great wrong would be yierpetrated but for them. How they do beat the air slay straw giants and save the people? Let it be granted that there was a conspiracy to take this road from the state. Have we come upon a time when we are not sure that our courts will destroy such a con­ spiracy agitation or no agitation? Granted that Judge Purnell would have given his hand to such a scheme-and we do not think he would have done so; granted that Judge Pritchard would have con­ spired with him. Do you think that the Supreme Court of the United States would have also fallen in with the looters? And granted that they would have done so do you really think that the hue aud cry that has been raised would have deterred that Court ! Is it not apparent that the re­ cent, hysterical agitation has been based upon an utlerly ridiculous misconception? Justice, is that the way to obtain Justice? It is the baby's way. But men do not get it by bellowing or scratching. Would it not have been better to confrout the facts and' to aigue the case and to abide with some repose in the century-old system- of Justice in the United States? One suspects that certain news Iiapers have lost their way. They concieve of their function as one of pleading causes appealing to popular support anil applause ag­ itating and beatiug the air rather than of telling the news and rcas oning. They go even farther aud seriously endeavor to throw their weight upou one side or the other of the scales iu the hands of Jus­ tice. How far this is front tbe true function^ of the press will be perceived by those who calmly takes a reckoning of the terrible condition we should all be in if iusteail of carrying a case to court one should have to submit it.to tbe press .ana trust his cause to the success with which an agitation in his behalf should lie set up. Bvideutly these papers have un­ wittingly made themselves ridieu Ions. They have been caught in their posing as saviours of the people. We observed frequently an ef­ fort to dismiss the rase on the ground that the suit was brought by a small stock holder. It was brought at first by a spurious stock holder. It was brought the eecond time by a small but genuine stock holder. The doctrine seriously set forth iu Horth Carolina that min­ orities have no rights astonished He is a small stockholder they said. He has only $3,700 iu the property. What right has he to re quest that a 3.000,000 corporation be put in the hands of a receiver? Well minority stock holders do have rights. Your one dollar inter­ est should be as justly dealt with as Rockfellow’s $100,000,000 inter est: and we are astonished that any other proposition should have been entertained in Horlli Carolina. If minority stock holders could- not appeal to coarts and have receivers appoiuted for cause who would purchase stock, and what would less than half the stock in a cor­ poration be worth I This question should not have been raised. It was no matter how much stock was owned. The ques­ tion was, Was there cause in the condition of the road or the action of the directors t iput the property in the hands of a receiver? Me do not propose to answer this ques­ tion. Toe people have the facts. And the Court will answer it in due season.It should be said that there was a factor in the diicussion that had much to do with the popular atti­ tude—and justly* That factor was mystery.

A REMINISCENCE OF 1»00. ‘The time is approachibg when we shall be called to say what we think of the past administration, the one we have witnessed the xiast fonr years. We predict the men who take issue with the returns when they^are,in, will bejfew and far between. In other words the issuesimade! against 'thc’"p resent administration willbe indeed with the township primary or at most at the county conventions. All these gentlemen will be heard pra­ ising the “gallant Aycock” on the day of the convention when his ad minstration will be endorsed and it surely will be. We have said this much in ord­ er that, we may have a good and reasonable foundation for saying some other things which we can say without ,hesitation or mental reservation. And it will only re­ quire a few sentences to record what we have in mind. The cam­ paign of 1900 was a stormy period in Horth Carolina history, it was perhaps a necessary one but cert­ ainly no sane man wants to see it repeated. The issue when the truth is told, was simply to create strife aud angtaonism between the races to such an extent as to make the disfranchising of the negro appear Decessary to all. This having suc­ ceeded it was evident that the wise thing to do was to restore peace and good feeling at the ear­ liest moment possible.”-—Raleigh Evening Times. Tbe above is ■ quite a frank ad­ mission to come from a democrat­ ic xiaper, but we cannot see how the editor can say that perhaps it was iieeessary to bare-a stormy campaign in 1900. And again the Times says: “The issue when tbe truth is told, was simply to create Strife and antagonism between the races” etc. We cannot see that the euds justified the means. This cam paign in 1900 Was waged in the interest of Mr Simmons and they knew it was necessary to get up some great issue in order, tor him to be elected to-the United States Senate. VVkenit becomes necess­ ary to. intimidate people with drunken red shirts, drag speakers from the stands, throw rotten eggs at them, break into speaker's bed room and run him out of town at the point of pistols, and burn and bury men in effigy, we say when it becomes necessary to resort to these means to carry a measure, then that measure ongbt to fail. There is no end that could justify the means employed. Just in this connection we wish to say that when some irresponsible people buried Marion Bntler and others in effigy in this state that the Hew and Observer condoned it but last year when the students at Triuity College, burned Josephus Daniels in effigy because of his abuse of the college he thought the act was outrageous just perfectly terrible,, but itwas only another instance of chickens comiug home to-roost.—Caucasian.

New York Cily.-Off the Bronx sliore of Korlh Brother Island, where the burning Genornl Slocum was bcaclieCl, and on up the river for a mile and a half to IIin)i\s Toint, 'where the tide finally carried the charred hulk, the ghastly business of fishing for human bodies has gone on day and night siucc the appalling tragedy, neither •weari­ ness nor hunger stopping Coroner O5Gormairs volunteer crews and the police. Tlie racing tide made it well nigh impossible to use the grappling irons at times, but on the ebb the fishers more than made up for their enforced idleness. Added Hndings now show beyond the shadow of any doubt that during grew in number the horror. inCi^iSed in intensity. On whose siioiiiders rests the terrible responsibility is yet to be determined, but one fact has beeti set­ tled beyond dispute—a great, fiumbef of the life preservers on tiie craft were not lifc preservers at atl, but life desti'oyGts. Instead of being buoyant*; they were as leaden weights, carry­ ing their victitoB tt> certain death. Scores of bodies have been found with these miserable pretenses strapped about them. It may be that there were a few serviceable cork jackets on board the Genera! Slocum, but the majority were made of pow­ dered cork and glue, and were not only absolutely useless, but a peril rather than a safety. They were pulled out of their places by men strong enough to secure them, but the women and children In the panic and excite* ment did not know how to adjust the belts, and only a few of them were loaded down with the weights that meant certain death* Those found have been found on the bodies of men for the most p art All these ap­ pliances had been passed by inspect­ors as serviceable and safe. When the Inquiry shall have begun the story of the condition of the IiSe preservers will be of greater interest and im­ portance than the action of the cap­ tain in the pilot house, who ran his ship aflame a mile or a mile and a half before he sought refuge by driv­ ing her ashore. It is agreed by a majority of the survivors that Captain Van Schaik made a desperate and heroic effort to save the lives of his passengers, but experienced rivermen are of the opin­ ion that the suddenness of the fire and the fright and confusion which followed upset his judgment and caused him to do the very thing which he ought not to have done. It has been poiuted out that there are at least three points where he might f --Tt? ‘,W ere ■ M l im SLOCUMi ; was & 4 $ SIAF SHOTTING RUX OF THE GENERAL SLOCVM FKOM TIME THE FIRE WAS DISCOVERED. Ihe single Jiour following the discov­ ery of fire in the pleasure steamboat, which was carrying Pastor Haas’ St. Mark’s Lutheran congregation on its annual picnic excursion, more Amer­ ican lives were lost than during the Spauish-Amerieau War. Two days after the disaster Police Inspectov Albertson, who is supervis­ ing the work of recovering bodies, said: ‘‘The n o bodies found repre­ sent only half the number of dead. It will be days before the sunken Slo­ cum- gives up all its dead and for weeks bodies will be washed ashore down the East River and up the Sound.” The difficulty of estimating the num­ ber the dead is increased by the uncer­ tainty as to the number of persons who were on the General Slocum1 when she left the pier and steamed un the East River on her fatal trip. No one knows how many dead are still at the bottom of the river off the island, or how many burned and black­ ened corpses lie in the hull. Coroner O’Gorman thinks that at least 200 more will be found. The Coroner said that Diver John Rice and the men who worked with him at Hunt’s Point believe that there are scores caught in the debris of the burned steamer. These it may be impossible to remove until the wreckers get to work and tear the Slocum apart. At any rate, it will be a week, perhaps longer, be- loroa)] the dead will be found. Some, so the divers and grapplers of the river say, will never be recovered. Carried out to sea, or held fast at the bottom of the river or utterly destroyed in the fire are scores, these men think. Other divers exploring the river bed along the track covered by the burn­ ing steamer say there are heaps of bodies still beneath the water. In ail the history of disaster where human life has been sacrificed no wail of lamentation could be greater than that which has gone up from those bereftjjy this tragedy, for as the days have run the craft into shoal water and been within reach of help from shore and close to a flotilla of boats that were rushing to the rescue; but, cither dazed by the situation or out of his head entirely, or believing that the only salvation was to reach North Brother Island, he passed WardfS Isl­and after the fire was discovered, made no attempt to run close to the Astoria shore and steered away from the Sunken Meadows, which the Seawan- haka sought twenty-four years ago, losing less than thirty of her passen­gers. Flags on the City Hall and other municipal buildings were at half mast by order of Mayor McClellan to show formally the widespread sorrow ,In the city for the deaths of hundreds of peo­ ple caused by the burning of the steam boat. The Mayor issued a proclama­tion expressing the sympathy of the people of the city and appointing a re­ lief committee. President Roosevelt ordered Secre­ tary Cortelyou to make a rigid inves­ tigation of the disaster, and the work will be conducted under the personal supervision of Mr. CorteIyou and Geo. Uhl er, supervising inspector-general of the steamboat inspection service. Any government omploye found neg­ ligent will be severely punished. Investigations have been started by Coroner Berry aud District Attorney Jerome. The fire marshal ordered an investigation of the cause of the fire. ,The steamboat company was conduct? ing an inquiry of its own. First Officer FJannagan of the steamboat made a statement at the District Attorney’s office that the hose was rotten, and burst when efforts were made by the crew to nut out the. fire.. Around the Morgue heartbreaking scenes are witnessed every day, and the work of identification goes on rap­ idly. Several persons, driven insane by the awful sights they witnessed and their bereavement, attempted sui* bide; $he scenes iu the Vicinity oi S I park’s Church and through the stricken district have been touching i» thiJ fextrenie; . . . * . AS fast as th6 bodies weir# recovered they were .inspected by tJordiier maii tih tiie beach of North Brother Island. • Their watches and jewelry aud other effects were sealed, num­ bered and preserved for relatives and friends. Then the corpses were placed in the rough piue coffins and sent to the Morgue to await identification. “We found about three hundred watches on the dead,” said the Cor­ oner, “a bushel of finger rings, hun­ dreds of pins and jeweled trinkets of every description, and a large amount of money altogether. My estimate of the value of the watches and rings and jewelry ’ is $150,000. . The, dead were l>eople in comfortable Circnm: stances, and many of the women wore diamond earrings and diamond Jringft of gi‘eat value. Some of them had big roils of bills in their clothing. Many wore bags under their corsets or strapped around their waists in which hundreds of dollars were found. AU this money, as well as the jewelry, has been placed in bags with tags corresponding with the uumber of the tags on the bodies. I don’t think there will be great difficulty in rela­ tives claiming and securing this prop­ erty at the proper time.” Almost as appalling as the spectacle of the burning and drowning of the hundreds of women and children was the grief of the thousands of relatives of the dead who thronged the Morgue in the pitiful search for the loved ones who had gone away from home smil­ing and happy in the belief that they were to have a pleasant day’s outing. These poor distracted people were as helpless as babes in their grief. They wandered about da?ed—like people in a dream. There were little children bereft of both parents and sisters and brothers. There were fathers aud mothers who had been rendered child­ less. Ther were fathers, and these were in the greater number, who had lost wives and children. In some terri­ ble instances whole families had been blotted out. Six Brooklyn families met this awful fate. One of the most frightful scenes on the burning steamboat General Slocum was the frenzied attack o? a number of women, huddled for safety on the star­ board paddle box, on an unknown hero, who climbed to their place of ref­ uge to lower them to a tug with a rope that he carried. As the man. a tug­ boat hand, made his way up the pad- die box, a score of women, rendered insane by terror, rushed at him. They sunk tneir teeth in his arms and tore his coat from his back. He had to fight for his life, but eventually he re­ stored the women to a semblance of reason and lowered many of them to the tug. One arm was terribly bit­ ten. The President Acts. Washington, D. C. — President Roosevelt issued imperative orders to Secretary Cortelyou of the Depart­ ment of Commerce and Labor to in­ vestigate, the Slocum horror and leave no stone unturned in the effort to fix the responsibility for the disas­ ter. If any one in the service of the government was negligent in his duty he will receive :io mercy at the hands of bis superiors. ROBBERS LOOT EXPRESS. Shoot Engine Driver Dead, Then Blow Up Car and Safe. Butte, Mont.—Two train robbers lield up the eastbound North Coast Limited, the Northern Pacific’s crack passenger, express, a mile east of Bear Mouth. Mont., where the same train was held up last year, and Engiueer O’Neill met his death at the bandits’ hands. After bringing the train to a stand­ still, the robbers had a brief but sharp fight with the engineer, who fell dead iu his cab with two bullets lit his brain. The robbers then blew up the express car. Three times dynamite was exploded under the safe, and it and the car were demolished. The bandits are believed to have secured heavy plunder, estimated at $40,000, with which they escaped to the large timber of the mountains. “AMERICAN” NOT “U.

In their place on all the new record books and seals will appear the words “American Embassy” and “American Consulate’' and “American Consular Agency.” There are about a dozen “United States” aside from the United States of America, a fact which leads to a great deal of confusion in foreign countries.

JAPAN'S GREAT VICTORY Attempt ef the Russians to Relieve Port Arthur Fails.

The Russian forces, under Lieuten­ ant-General Stalkelberg, which have been threatening the rear of General Oku, commander of the Japanese forces investing Port Arthur, were preparing for an attack, when the Jap­ anese surprised them by a fierce on­ slaught at Tclissu, eighty miles north of Port Arthur. The Bussians, in the first of the fight, completely annihilated a squad­ ron of Japanese cavalry. Then the Eussians were driven back.The Third and Fourth batteries of the First Artillery vBrigade were cut to pieces by the Japanese shells.The Bussians lost 500 killed and 300 officers and men and fourteen guns captured.The Japanesu lost 1000 killed and wounded. General Stalkelberg fell back to Vantsailin, thirty miles north of Va- fangow. Two divisions of General Kuroki’s army were marching from Sin-Yen to take him in the rear and cut him off fronj General Kuropatkin’s main army. Four brigades of infantry, compris­ing 12,000 men; three regiments of cav­ alry and eight batteries of artillery— in all 17,000—represented the Japanese force in action, but there was a con­ siderable reserve numbering two bri­ gades. The Russian forces are esti­ mated at 20,000, and at the time the right flank was turned another brigade was coming south to the relief of Gen­ eral Stalkelberg. General Tamaguchi telegraphs that thirty Russian officers were killed, having been found on the field; that fifteen are among the cap­ tured and that one Russian infantry regiment lost one-quarter of its men. At dusk the Japanese had turned the right flank of the Russians and were developing a similar movement on the left flank, when General Stalkelberg’s centre broke and what was first an orderly retreat developed into a rout. It is known that at Likutmthun, where the overwhelming defeat of Stalkelberg took place, at least a bri­ gade of the Japanese army had to come up on the road from Pitsuwo several days before, and was probab­ ly in the valleys of the Hiung Moun­ tains waiting to reinforce the Japanese divisions comiug north on the railroad from Fuchow. The Japanese, on their part, have Suffered the loss of two transports, which were torpedoed and sunk in the Japan Sea. near the entrance to the Korean Straits by vessels of the Rus­ sian Tladivostok squadron.

Vancouver, British Columbia.—Twen­ ty natives slain in British New Guinea in a conflict with the police force, three planters and half tt dozen native serv­ ants Wdssacrgd in German KsW Guinea—such is the.Sensational news brought by th# Australian steamer Manuka On hei' initifti trip td this poft* Poisoned arrows were used on ontf side add inbderri rifles on the other in the engagement, which resulted in the killing of the twenty natives of British New Guinea. The New Guinea Gov­ ernment steamer Merrie England went to Goaribari Island to arrest the mur­ derers of the Rev. James Chalmers and Mr. Tonkins, a report of whose violent deaths at the hands of the blacks was received some time ago. Judge Robin­ son, acting administrator of New Guinea, was on board with a squad of police.Several of the supposed murderers were seized and taken aboard. Then the islanders decided to attempt a res­ cue. The Government party, not sus­ pecting this dei#gn, allowed a large number of canoes to approach the ves­ sel. An arrow with a poisoned tip was fired at Captain Harvey. This was the signal for a general shower of arrows, most of which went over the steamer. Several, however, dropped on board. The arrows are terrible weapons as, once they enter the fiesh, the only way to get them out is to pull them right through. The constabulary quickly re­ plied to the attack and firing was kept up until the native assailants of the vessel had had enough, when they hur­riedly made for the shore. There are conflicting reports as to the number of natives killed, some putting it as high as eighty, but twenty is given as the most reliable figure. Nobody on the Merrie England suffered. There were between 400 and 500 natives in the at­ tacking party. A passenger on board the Merrie England having asserted that some of the natives were shot while held as hostages, Captain Harvey has emphat­ ically denied the charges. The captain declares that the islanders began the conflict, otherwise there would have been no fight. Concerning the massacres in German New Guinea, the most atrocious was that of Mr. Reimers, manager of the AVahlen plantation, on Durour Island. A band of 500 natives took possession ol' the property and seized Mr. Reim- erg. While two of them held him down another thrust a spear into his mouth and then forced the weapon right through his body. The natives weight­ ed the body with stones and cast it into the harbor. Retribution overtook the attackers, for as they fled to a neigh­ boring island in the hope of escaping Justice a big storm arose and most of them were drowned. Larfe numbers of empty canoes were washed ashore. Another band of natives swooped down on the steamer Meta, belonging to Peter Hansen, manager of the Peter- shafen station of the New Guinea com­ pany. The vessel was berthed at a pri­ vate jetty on the shore. The murder­ ers, who were armed with spears, killed the engineer, Dobell, and half a dozen of the native crew. Then they attacked Mr. Reinhardt, the agent of the company, who was on shore, and left him for dead. Peter Hansen was shielded by friendly natives. -Except for their help he also would have been massacred. The government of the Germa^arch­ipelago immediately organized a puni­ tive expedition. Several o f, the vil­ lages were destroyed by a German war ship as a warning to the islanders that’ all attacks on white traders will-be Quickly punished. LAKE STRIKE BROKEN.. Masters and Pilots Give-in- After Six Weeks’ Tie-Up. . Cleveland, Ohio.—After six weeks Of tie-up on the Great Lakes that has directly involved only a couple of thou­ sand men, but indirectly, more than a hundred thousand, the strike was bro­ ken. by the surrender of the masters, who, with the pilots, have been hold­ ing out for a more uniform scale of wages this season than was offered by the Lake Carriers’ Association. The strike was declared off by Paul Howell, District Captain of the Mas­ters* aud Pilots’ Association, who gave out the, following statement; “The Masters’ and Pilots’ Associa­ tion have concluded that it would be good policy at this stage of the game, owing to existing, conditions over which we have no control, to advise our Captains to go to work- and make the most of a bad situation.” ' PIVE SHOT IN FEUD BATTLE.

Cocoa in Porto Rico is affected by a black pod rot canker and root The potat9 blight and rot caused widespread destruction, being especi­ ally enormous in New York, Pennsyl­ vania, Northeastern Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. The damage is esti­ mated at $10,000,000 for the season in New York alone. * Walnut bacterios caused heavy losses in California. The cheiTy shot hole fungus was injurious in New York and Pennsyl­ vania and prevailed destructively' In Iowa and Nebraska.

The tomato blight has practically ruined the tomato crop of Porto Rico. A potato .root rot has caused the loss of nearly the' entire potato crop. Orange scab has caused considerable damage in the Bayamon district. Pear blight was more than usually prevalent this year In the East. Twiit blight, due to the same organism was serwus on apples in Connecticut, ’ New York.

LABOK WORLD. Wi A ' ' ---- Since its organization the Civic Fed. eration is said to have averted 12S strikes. Last year 2920 railroad men wore killed in the United States and 50,ISi were injured. In the German Tarliainent there are over eighty representatives of woiic- ingmen. Thle strike of coal miners in the i'ifth sub-district of Ohio has been declared off aud about 3000 men returned to work. In the Austrian textile industry Ihs working hours are ten to eleven a (lay. Men's weekly wages average ?a.00, women's $1.50. The Erie Eailroad Company has dis­ charged ten per cent, of its working force, or 108 men from its shops iu Susquehanna, P? A lockout of ;V Jilt COO masons ai d bricklayers has been declared in Iinf- falo, because the men refused u- lay brick on concrete foundations. In England there are five labor rep­ resentatives in the House of Commons, and at the next election it is believed that thirty more will bo elected. Losses incurred by the strike of the workers at the naphtha wells. B.-ikti, Russia, amount to no less than 1,100.- 000 pounds to the owners alone. The commercial telegraphers have called their international convention for June 19, the anniversary of -Uic great telegraphers’ strike of 1SSS. Tbe mill of the' International Paper Company, at Glens Falls, K V.. is closed as a result of a strike, even the rivermen, log sorters and drivers having gone out. Because much of the work now done In the Chicago stockyards by women is declared “brutalizing and tending to dull the feminine sensibilities,” the la­ bor. union.will ask the packers to re­ place them with men. F rench A lligator Farm s. Several French dealers have recent­ ly visited' America to purchase stock for an alligator farm which they pro­ pose starting in the south of France. Alligator skin has become so highly prized throughout France that the animal, dealers believe it will pay well to raise the alligators on this, the first farm of its kind in the world. Not long ago President Loubet re­ ceived a present of a hunting suit of alligator sldn. The skin is said to be growing, scarcer each year, and there is always a great demand for it for hoots, shoes, handbags, writing pads, portfolios and toilet articles. SOUTHERN RAILWAY.

Tbis author, who. of course, writes her thoughtful articles on "The Joy Cf Living." from a woman's stand­ point. goes on to tell of two women who found their husbands exacting, and of the happy results brought about by the generous yielding 'of the wife in one of these cases. The wri­ ter con eludes: "But the genreous are always im­ posed upon. They end by being rob­ bed; the Jittle soul exclaims. ‘People drain us when we give too much, and thou when they have all they want they throw us over.’ The little soul can never understand that the gener­ ous soul is never robbed. It is like the sun itself—it radiates. Its busi­ ness is to add to life the joy of its cheer."

Flatirons that have lost their temper and become rusted' or roughened should be disposed of, and not left to take up valuable space on kitchen shelves.

Because dust is in ju ri­ ous ,to a piano it is a common belief that a. piano should be closed when not in use. This is a mistake. The majority of pianos made to-day are constructed so that dust cannot easily penetrate them even when they are open. Keys tun) yellow from Jack of light, and a piano should be open the larger part of the time. There is nothing like strong sunshine • for bleaching yellowed piano keys. Rub the keys with powdered puffiice stone moistened with water and then draw the piano up before a sunny window while the keys are still moist. The woodwork of the piano should be care­ fully covered. JThis bleaching is a slow process and may-need to be re­ peated several times before the keys assume their original color. Some housekeepers have bleached the keys of their pianos to a beautiful white by simply letting strong sunlight rest ful­ ly on them hour after hour and day after day. _- m I= Bread Ramikins—Rub together four tablespoonfuls of grated cheese, the yolk of one egg, one tablespoonful of melted butter, a little anchovy paste, salt and pepper; spread on toasted bread and brow.i in the oven.’ Beef Salad—Cut into dice half a pound of lean roast beef; pom1 over a little- French dressing and let stand two hours; then mix with one pint of cooked celery or a head of lettuce torn in. strips-;, add. more. dressing and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley..

HOT WEATHER, ^ NERVOUS WOMEN.’ Twine from Wisconsin Wire Grass Wire grass twine Is a now product of the Northwest, which promises to relieve the stringency- of the supply of Manila twine during the wheat bar* vest season. The wire grass from which the twine is jnade is grown in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and other products as well as twine, are -made from it. C. W. Crawford of Indianapo­ lis, explained the nature of the new product: “For the last ten years or more,” he said, “the wheat harvest season has assumed the aspect of a bugbear to farmers who did not have a large' supply of twine on hand.’ ’ Without twine hinders cannot run, and without binders it is impossible to harvest wheat, “The only variety of twine that could be used in the past was the Manilae variety, imported from the Philippine Islands. The supply of that always gave out before the harvest ended, and tbe lack of it often occa­ sioned great loss. The new wire grass has proved to be equal, if not superior to Manila twine, and the farmers may rest easy now.” BLANCHE GREY.

We are not sur­ prised though, for what the Demo crat ic politicians in this State don’t know would inakeabook. No, they don’t know such men as Ohas. J.

He is an employer of labor, a manufacturer, who is building up the waste places, Is making two blades of grass where but one formerly grewx He is help­ ing to develop the w’estern part of our State. He has come amoug us, to make his home, and this is the reception given him by those who pretend to be the people, and these arc the folks to invite men and capital among us.

Au esteemed friend writes in rc ferouce to a paragraph in Friday’s paper: <:I aiii sorry you do not say why you are for Turner. I know that you could give your readers a great many good reasons yvhy he should be iio.uinatel.” Tbc deel.ir- at iou of a preference for Goevrnor in advance of the convention is un- i-sual in this paper and was made uly as a necessary measure of self lefence. IVe would greatly prefer not to go into a discussion of this mai ter now but in a few word? noneof the candidates for this noin- inatiou has a better record for party service than Mr. Turner1 He is in line with all the policies of his parly State and national. He has no enemies to appease and if he were nominated there would be no xplauatidn to make and no objec- .ioii by the friends or the other can- lidates. He was reared in the conn L y and knows the ways and wants inr country people. Wil iiout being brilliant towit: prudence self-con- ,rol and saving common sense. He is a lawyer and a business man. and the governorship of Noith Garolina is essentially a business iflice If he were Governor ever mdj' would soon learn that lie neant to do right and that lie had the wisdom to know it when hr =aw it aud the strength to do it \Vith the kindest personal feelinj for all the other gentlemen in thi race with the utmost respectful them all and with no purpose tc depreciate any of them in any re piect we . are persuaded that hi would' make a better Goveruoi than any man in the lot. And Llicse arc a few of the reasons why The Observer is for Turner.— Charlotte Observer From the above one would pre same between the lines that Mr Turner was 1hc ouly man of thi four suited for the place, but thi Observer did not get his 11 rulhers’ in this case, and if the nominee. Rob Glenn is elected ;.its our can lid opinion the people will be eiel if their choice before his term if ialf out. We are not going to thi lauce, but we may have help to pay the fiddler. STRONG GOVERNMENT RON MAD. T1Lemost extraordinary propos­ ition sprung upon this generation of North Carolinians is to be found in the following resolution-preced­ ed by whereases now therefores and aforesaid! which it is said is to be introduced in the Democra­ tic State convention this week, “ In order that we may have a gov­ ernment- of the people for the peo­ ple and/by.the people in its high­ est aud best sense we are in favor of leyaliziug all political primaries and of enacting a mild compnlsory law not burdensome but sufficient to secure a general participation not only in the elections but also in the political primaries by those en­ titled to exercise the elective fran­ chise” We pass by the legalized prim­ ary; but the mild compulsory law, not burdensome but sufficient” to make every man vote not onlv'in the primaries but at the election- what do you think of that? We are already hedged about by divers laws which tell us what we shall not do in matters of individual conduct-shnll this be added to those which command us What we shall do! Under this proposed resolution the citizen would no longer have’ the right to go into the primary or stay out as he might elect; no lon­ ger have the right to go to the ele­ ction or stay at borne as he chooses. VYemust go to both take the pen alty imposed by “a mild compul­ sory law” or take-his hat and leave the State. We have all heard of compuls­ ory education laws-they are bad enough; but who before ever heard ot the like of this? Adopt it and we had as well abdicate the re­ mainder of our rights to individ­ ual action. It used to be the Dem­ ocratic doctrine that the citizen must have.the right to do as he pleased so long as he did not in­ vade the rights of anybody else The breath of the nostrils of the Democratic party used to be oppo­ sition to paternalism and to cent­ ralization .,gone to seed. This proposed resolution is paternalism and centralization gone to seed- It is to be hoped that there will be a sober second thought ou it and that it will uot be introduced in the convention.—Charlotte Obser­ ver: ■' - The man who prepared this reso­ lution asking for a compulsory law i i one Mr. Field, Secretary to the Democratic Executive Committee. Onr people had as well begin to open their eyes to the conditions confronting them. A law to force men to go to the polls aud vote is foreign to a free and enlightcd Re­ public, but this is what the mach­ ine is aiming to do, and in our opinion it will be lesorted to should the iireseut crowd be I ng continued in power.- Are the people ready to be driven to t ie polls by the Siramons-Aycock m .cbine crowd, and be foned to vote or go to jail, or pay a fine? 1Jui mad; yes, worse than run mad. It’s running after office and pie, and men who will put on Red Shirts, and arm themselves with guns to overawe the people, who will rape the ballot box, commit perjury, aud make false returns throw out entire precincts in order O count iu thier candidates, are in deed run mad, aud will continue to lain mad after office. How long vill fhe people submit to such a ;ang ? Job work done by The Record C“'"T and up-to-date.'

Roberts .Treasurer of the United States made an ad­ dress recently at Asheville before the North Carolina Banker’s ‘Ass­ ociation in which he stated ‘that' the total volume of our circulating I medium is now something more than two and a half billion dollars. Thishesaid is nearly equal to the stock of Great Britain, Germany and Russia combined aud within a hundred million or so of the com­ bined stock of France and Ger­ many. From 1890 to 1900 the advance in our population was from 62.622,- 250 to 75,295,220 an increase of 21.8 per cent. The wealth of our people mounted from $65,037,091,- OOO to $94,300,000,000, an in crease of 44.9 per cent. In the meantime the money in circulation from $1,429,251,270 to $2,055,150,998, an iucrease of 43.7 per cent. Siuce 1900 there has been an increase in the circulating medium of $434,- 592,946. or 20.9 per cent., an an- unal avarage of 4.2 per cent. In the same interval the population has increased 7.1 per cent., or only 1.8 per cent, a year. But. in spite of this enormous supply of money, the largest in the ag-gi o.rate and the largest percapita iu our history, there has within the past several months been a falling in general trade. It is necessary to prosperity that we have a plenti­ ful supply of honest money, but a plentiful supply of honest money does not necessarily mean pros­ perity.

Chicago, Special.—The National Convention of the Republican party met here on Tuesday at noon and Whs called to order by the National Chair­ man. Speaker Joseph Cannon was elect­ ed permanent chairman. The perma­ nent organization was effected and the convention' adjourned to meet Wed­ nesday. On Wednesday the platform was adopted and ou Thursday the follow­ ing ticket was nominated: THE TICKET NAMED. For President THEODORE ROOSEVELT, of New York. For Vice President CHARLES W. FAIRBANS, of Indiana. President Roosevelt was placed Ife nomination by ex-Governor Blftek of New York and Senator Fairbanks was placed in nomination by Mr. Dolliven The Republican National Convention the recently-elected National Reubli- cah Committee would meet in the Coliseum immediately on the adjourn- ment of the convention. Chairman Cannon at once announced that the next order of business would be a roll-call 'of the States for the nomination of President of the United States. The clerk called Alabama, and imme­ diately OscaV it. Hundley, of that StatS, mounted a chair and announced that Alabama requested the honor and privilege of yielding its place on the roll to the State of New York.Instantly the convention was ih an uproar. The New York delegation was on its feet like one man, waving flags and shouting Wildly. Former Governor Frank Black, of Nfew Ybrk, who was to deliver the nominating speech in behalf of President Roosevelt, imme­ diately started for the platform, amid the wildest enthusiasm on the part of the delegates. As Governor Black reached the desk Cf ChnifBaan Cannon he was warmly IjYSeted by that gentleman and escorted down to the front of the platform Here Chairman Cannon, standing by the side of Mr. Black, in a few words, introduced him to tho convention. There was a succession of shouts from the convention,, ft chbrus of shrieks from thfe New Ybrk delegation, a par­ oxysm of tossing flags,.then silence and Mr. Black commenced his speech in be­ half of President Roosevelt. A So u th er n s p e a k e r. Chairman Cannon announced the next speaker as “Mr. Stilwell, of Geor- m Hh H B m I WS' _X »■* s i . -,t i m ,■»'" J ''S * ' ' . C •* v"'' *5 * v ** JUS*1, 9 PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT. iuet at 10:30 o'clock Thursday morning with the expectation of nominating candidates, and adjourning in time for afternoon trains. The Coliseum began to fill at 9 o'clock with tho thousands permitted to hear the nominating and seconding speeches. The galleries were completely filled for the first time and tiers of people were standing In rear aisles. A few moments before the assemb­ling there was hurried conference tv the managers which resulted in agree­ ment that Alabama, the first State on the roll, would yield to New York Io dominate Roosevelt. It was also agreed that Alabama which was tho first State to instruct tor Fairbanks, would yield to Iowa io place the Senator’s name in nomina­ tion for the Vice Presidency. The delay in calling the convention to order was due to the completion of some resolutions that were to jhe pre­sented. But the music of the band and the evident good humor of the croud made the time pass rapidly and there was no manifestation of impatience. It was exactly 10:30 when Chairman Cannon, wielding the immense wooden gavel in his left hand, arose from his high-backed chair and with a resound­ ing whack on the table in front of him, commanded the convention to be in order. “The convention will be opened wiih prayer," he announced. Tlla<i(iens A. Sniveley, rector of Si. Chrysostum’s church, was presented and at Mr. Cannon’s suggestion ad­ vanced to the front of the platform. As he spread forth his arms to invoke di­ vine blessing, the convention arose. The animated hum of conversation ceased and absolute silence prevailedAt the conclusion of the prayer,' Chairman Cannon presented the fol­ lowing announcements through the reading clerk:- On the 6th day of July, at Jackson, Miss., there will be celebrated the 50th anniversary of the birth of the Repub­ lican party. (Applause.) The time when and the place where it received its name. Secretary Hay will deliver the principal address. Senator Fairbanks .and ethers will address the meeting.” ,.. Then followed ah announcement that gia.” There were loud cries of “Ed­ wards,” and Mr. Cannon was informed that the name of the speaker was Har- iy Stilwell Edwards. “Well,” said the chairman tb the convention, “his middle name is Still­ well and both afe gdod names;” He then formally introduced Mri Edwardd h Vm m SENATOR C. W. FAIRBANKS. in a short but effective speech. Mr. Edwards, who is a man of slight physique, is not giften with a penetrat­ ing voice like that of Governor Black, Senator Beveridge and Mr. Knight, and for this reason he was unable to com­ mand the absorbing attention that had been given to those who spoke before him. Mr. Edwards’ speebh was eminently satisfactory, however, to those within range of his voice and he was frequent­ ly interrupted by applause. Naval Officer’s Fatal Fall. Norfolk, Special—Commander A. G. Kellogg, V. S. N., fell from a fourth story window in the Monroe Hotel in Portsmouth at 9 o’clock Thursday night, to the sidewalk below,- sustain­ing injures from which he died an w 1Ialt later -at the naval hospital. He has been in bad health for sometime. It is thought Comman- Kellogg, during an attack or verti­go lost his balance and fell from the window at which he was sitting- His v ire and married daughter were wit*1 him when he died. $30,000 for Slocum Victims. New York, Special—Jacob H. Sehiff, treasurer of the committee appointed by the mayor to . solicit subscriptions for the relief of the victims of the General Slocum disaster, reported that the committee had thus far received over $90,000. Contributions, ho ad­ ded, have been on such a generous scale, and the amount alreadv rece­ ived so large, that a further swelling of the relief fund seemed to him both unnecessary and undesirable. The Foil Accouat of the Japanese Victory Not Given Out RUSSIAN PUBLIC IN IGNORANCE dfflcial Explanation is That Unnec­ essary Alann on the Enemy*# Au- thority is to be Avoided* tit-. PeteYsblirg-, By Cable.—tip to Sunday night, the Japanese Yeport of the loss of three Russian ships at fort Arthur has hot beeh published here, though the authorities have allowed to be printed a statement that the squadron had made a sortie, and also the news of the loss of Japanese tor­ pedo boat destroyers. Some of the papers have even commented with satisfaction on the prospect of a fight in the open sea, where the mer­ its: of the two fleets Would be fairly (tested. An official explanation Of the sup­ pression of the Japanese report is that the admiralty ig unwilling to unnec- sarliy alarm the public by the publi­ cation of such statements entirely on the authority of the enemy and In the absence of definite advices from the commander at Port Arthur. The officials do not attempt to dis­ guise the seriousness of. and the far- beaching consequences Which might result from. the loss of tlireS of the port Arthur warships, but they pro­ fess to be more inclined to believe that the vessels were lost in open fight, rather than the result of a torpedo attack. Should this be the case, they say, the Japanese could- not have es­ caped Without material loss and the Crippling of one or two of their bat­ tleships—enough to assure the com­ mand of the sea to the Baltic squad­ ron.There is much speculation as to whether the Vladivostock squadron might have gone out and whether it is on the eve of joining the Port Ar- Usuii fleet. It is reported that a serious land fight has taken place near Ta-Tche-. Kiao, in which the Russians were de­ feated, but no confirmation of this re­ port is obtainable. Details of Naval Action. London, By Gable-.—The GeEtral News has receivfed the following dis­ patch from its Tokio correspondent dated June 26, evening: “A detailed account of the naval bat­ tle at Port Arthur has been published here. The Russian battleships Peres- viet, Poltava and Sevastopol, and the bruisers Bayari, Askold and Novik at­ tempted to emerge from the harbor at dawn on June 23, led by steamers used for clearing the mines. At 11 a. m„ the battleships Czarevitch, Retvizan and Pobieda joined the others. "AU the ships thett advanced, fen- deavoriilg tb dispose of the mines laid by the Japanese, but they were hin­ dered by two Japanese torpedo boat destroyers which had been guarding the mouth of the harbor. “At 3 p. m. the Japanese boats ex­ changed shots with seven Russian de­ stroyers which were covering the clear­ ing operatiohs, One of the Russian cruisers was set on fire, and retired inside thfe harbbh “DUHfip; the night eight separate at­ tacks were delivered, lasting until dawn of Friday. “In one of these assaults, the Chira- taka twice torpedoed a battleship of tho Peresviet type and sunk her. A battleship of the Sevastopol type and a cruiser of the Diana type were dis­ abled and towed away. “The Russian vessels re-entered-the harbor during Friday. “The newspapers publish eulogistic articles upofi Vice Admiral Togo’s prompt abtibil.” Suicide of Heat Sufferers. New Haven, Special.—The exces­ sive heat throughout the State Sunday was probably responsible for two sui­ cides. Mrs. Louis Barnes, of Bolton shot herself, after great suffering, and earlier in the day James Wood, of Bristol, ended his life by shooting.. Both persons had been affected before by the heat. Ciiohad on Live Fish. Roanoke, Va., Special.—A most un­ usual death is reported from Appa­ lachia, a mining town in Wise county, this State. Mrs. Thomas S. Yakes was rubbing tho mouth of her little three-year-old girl, with a live gold fish in an effort to cure the chiid from slobbering, having been told that such a remedy would break her of the habit, when the Iiish slipped down the child’s throat, head first, choking her to death before the fish could be gotten out. A physician, Dr. Holdy, was near at the time and promptly attended the caiid, but before the fish could be re­moved she was dead, Hauling Water to Columbus.

Following is the fuii text of the plat­ form of the Republican party as adopt­ ed by the NaUonal Convention In ses­ sion-in the city of Chicago on June 22nd: “Fifty years ago the Republican party came into existence, dedicated, among bthfer purpBSefe, td thfe. great task of arresting the fextfefisiofi of kumali slavery; Iii i86d it elected it3 first President. During tw§rity*fbur of thfe. forty-four years which hatre eiapded since thfe election of Lincoln, the Repiiblicaii party has hfeld com­ plete control of the government: For eighteen more of the forty-four years it has held partial control, through Ihe possession of one or two branches of the government, while the Demo­ cratic party, during the same period, has had complete control for only two years. This long tenure of power by the Republican party is Hot due td chance. It is a demBflstration that the Republican party has cominaiided the confidence of thfe American people for nearly two generations tb S degree never equaled in our history, aiid has displayed a high capacity for rule afid government which has been made even more conspicuous by the incapacity and infirmity of purpose shown by its op­ ponents; ...“The Republican party gritfefefed upen its present period of complete suprfe- macy in 1897. We have every right to congratulate ourselves upon the work since then accomplished, for it has added lustre even to the traditions of the party which carried the govern­ ment through thfe StOfmfe Of civil war. “We then found the country, aftfer four years of Democratic rule, in evil plight, pppressed with misfortune and doubtful of thfe future. Public credit had heen lowered, the rfe¥§nufeS were declining, the debt was growing, tfie administration’s attitude towards Spain was feeble and mortifying, the stand­ ard of values was threatened and un­ certain, labor was unemployed, busi­ ness was sunk In the depression which had fluceetided the panic 8f 1893,- hop® Was faint arid confidence was gone. Unhappy Conditions Met. “We met these unhappy conditions vigorously, effectively and at once; “We replaced a Democratic tariff law, based on free trade principles and garnished with sectional protection, by a consistent protective tariff; and in­ dustry, frfefed ffom oppression and stim­ ulated . b f the eiicQufSgemeflfc Sf wifefe laws, has expanded tb a^ degree rievfer before known, has conquered Sew mar­ kets and has created a volume Sf ex­ ports which has surpassed imagina­ tion.

We promise to coritinue these policies, and wfe declare our con- .stant adherence' to the following prin­ ciples:Principles DSclared. “ Protection, which guardfe afid de­ velops our industries, is a cardinal policy of the Republican party. The meaSufe of protection, should always at least fequaftfcfeJifferfeBCfe in the cost of production at Iiriifife arid abroad. We insist upon the mainteiiaildfe of the principles of protection, and; therefore, rates of duty should be readjusted only wheii conditions have so changed that the public ifitferest demands their al­ teration, but this tvdfk Bafifiot safely be committed to any other hands than those of the Republican party. To en­ trust it to the Democratic party is to invite disaster. Whether, as in 1892, thfe BfemfefeTfttiC party declared the pro- tefetivfe tariff fifiefeflStitutional, tor Wtictheri it. afeniafldri tariff reform or tariff revision, its riefii object is always the destruction of the protective Sys­ tem. However specious the name, the purpose is ever the same. Democratic tariff has always been followed by busi­ ness adversity; a Republican tariff, by business prosperity. To a Republi­ can Congress and a Republican Presi­ dent, this great question can be safely intrusted; When the only free trade country ainoiig the great nations agi­ tates ci ffetiirfi to protection, the chief protefetivfe.

The main­ tenance Of the gold standard, estab­ lished by the Republican party, can­ not be safely committed td the Demo­ cratic party, which resisted its adoption, and has never given any proof sines that time of belief in it or fidelity t6 it:"While every offlfer. industry has prospered under the fostferiflg ftid of Republican legislation, American Snip­ ping engaged in foreign trade in com­ petition, low wages and heavy subsidies of foreign governments, has not for many years received from the govern­ ment of the United States adequate en­ couragement of any kind. We, there­ fore, favor legislation which will en­ courage and build up the American merchant riiafinfe, and we cordially ap­ prove the Iegislafion fi£ the last Con­ gress which created the merduflflt ma­ rine commission to investigate and re­ port upon this subject. Maintaining the Navy. “A flaw powerful enough to defend the United Statfes agamst any atiaca. to uphold the Monroe Adetrine and to watch over our commerce, is essen­ tia! to the safety and the welfare of the American people. To maintain such a navy is the fixSd pelicy of the Republican party. “We cordially approve the attitude of President Roosevelt and Congress in regard to the exclusion of Chinese Iaboii,- Siid premise a continuance of the RepfibiicSfi peiiey in. that direc­ tion:. , . “Thfe civil service law was placed on the statute books by the Republi­ can party, which has always sustain­ ed it, and we renew our former declar- atlbiW that it shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced. “We are always mindful of the country’s debt to tho sdldlers and sailors of the United States, and we believfe In making ample provision for them, and iii Gife liberal administra­ tion of the pensiori IdWS,"We favor the peaceful Sdltlanent of international difficulties by arbitra­ tion, "We commend the vigorous efforts mflde .Iiy the. administration to protect AmeficSii fcltizefls ifl foreign lands, and plfedge’ piirStJiyes to insist upon the just arid eqiiSl Jffiteetiofl of all our citizens abroad, it is the Un- questiobfible. duty of the government to procure for all our citizens, with­ out distinction, the righto of travel and sojourn in friendly countries, and we declare ourselves In favor of all Pfoflfel1 efforts tending to that end. “Our great interests and our grow- ifig commerce in the Orient render the cfefiditiofi Sf China of high impor­ tance to the Uliitfed States.

The American people were fortun­ ate In his successor, to whom they turned with a trust and a confidence which have been fully justified. Pres- ident Roosevelt brought to the great responsibilities thus sadly forced upon him a clear head, a brave heart, an earnest patriotism and high ideals of public duty and public service.

An Anti-Sea^Sick Vessel. Lieut. Turc, of the French navy, has after much study devised a plan for a ship the pasengers on which will, as he imagines, be proof against sea* sicknesses. He has caught the idea from the motion of a swing. As a general rule, vessels are only set roll­ ing from ten to fifteen seconds at a time, and as his would have a regular swing of twenty-two seconds, he cal­ culates that the effect of the waves would thus be counteracted. M. Turc’s model ship would he of about 6,000 tons burden, and would sail at a speed of nineteen knots. AU the cabins would be well out of the water, as they would be constructed on a deck more than thirty feet above the sea level. m \ Miss Hapgood tells how she was cured of Fallopian and Ovarian Inflammation— and escaped an awful operation by usin; E.

I l l H R Forsyth’s Favorite is Chosen on the Fifth Ballot CONVENTION LARGE AND NOISY The Speakers’ Volcei Were browned by Yells and Few Addresses Were Made—A Notable Exception to This Rule Was the Case of Governor Ay- cock. The following ticket was nominated by the Democratic State convention at Greensboro: For Governor, Robert B. Glenn. Lieutenant Governor, Francis D. Winston' Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, W. A. Holte and George H. Brown, Jr, State Auditor, B, F. Dixon. Treasurer, B. R. Lacy. Secretary ot State, J. Bryan Grimes. Superintendent ot Public Instruc­ tion, J. Y. Joyner. Commissioner ot Labor and Printing H. B. Varner. Corporation Commissioner, S. L. Rogers. Commissioner of Agriculture, S. L» P a tte i'sb n - _ The delegates at large are: Julian S. Carr, of Durham; Locke Craig, of Asheville: John E. Woodard, of Wil­ son; E. ,I. Hale, of Fayetteville. Presidential' electors, F. S. Spruill, of Franklin, and W. A. Self, of Ca­ tawba. The convention was the iafgest and noisiest that ever assembled in the State. Former Lieutenant Governor R. A. Douglitor. was made permanent chair­ man of the convention, and presided with ease and dignity. Governor Ay- cock made a strong speech, which was about the only one that was lis­ tened to with any attention. CANDIDATES PLACED IN NOMIN­ ATION. The first nominating speech was, made by Victor S. Bryant, of Durham.1 He made a clear-cut, smart speech. Mr. Bryant has a fine, strong, ring-; ins voice. The convention heard him from start to finish. He spoke for Stedman. W. A. Self, of Catawba, followed for Turner. He argued well for his man, with fire and eloquence. Mr. Self is one of the first orators of the State. He has marked ability and polish. His face is strong and his eyes twinkle. General Davidson was represented by the scholarly Locke Craig. Mr. Craig is known as the sil­ ver tongued orator of the West. He plead To- his section of the State. The immense audience listened to every word he said. He urged that the nomination go beyond the Blue Ridge. Mr. J. C. Buxton put Capt. Glenn’s name before the convention. As ho arose the supporters of the Forsyth man sprung to their feet and whooped. The demonstration was genuine and great. It looked as if the whole as­ sembly was upon its feet, shouting and beating the air with hands and fans. The demonstration broke out in all parts of the hall. Mr. Buxton is a man of powerful frame and mind. He speaks like the men of old. His effort was of the very first rank. It was joyfully received by the Glenn delegations. The demonstration after the speech was as fierce as the one before. The convention reassembled and re­ mained in session all night, nominat­ing Hon. Robert B. Glenn for Gover­ nor on the fifth' ballot. The second day’s session was devoted to the nomination of Lieutenant Governor and other State oiflcers as given above, and the adoption of a platform, The usual resolutions of thanks were adopted unanimously, after which the convention adjourned sine die. A resolution requiring the delega­ tion to the national convention to vote as unit was adopted, PARKER NOT ENDORSED. The section endqrsmg Judge Park­ er’s candidacy provoked a storm of op­ position. Explanations £hat it did not mean to instruct, increased confusion, and cries of “Vote everything down” were heard. Ex-Congressman John D. Bellamy, in advocating endorsement, said Georgia had gone far enough to instruct, be­ cause Georgia had more sense than North Carolina. Here the -speaker was drowned out with shouts of derision, and- was allowed to proceed long enough to substitute “discretion” ior “sense.” Mr. Crawford, of Fayetteville, in op-, posing endorsement, said in the eyes of honorable men that meant instruc­ tion. When he said people should go there prepared to vote for any man who was nominated, and spoke of a M Obability of it being “grand old Cleveland,” when a pandemonium of noes and protests broke loose, the speaker retiring, too, in confusion. Editor Daniels, of The Raleigh News and Observer, advised withdrawal- of the resolution, and was followed by Senator Simmons, who said he was satisfied Judge Parker was the strong­ est and best man now before the peo­ ple to beat Roosevelt, and the question at issue now was not Judge Parker, but the wisdom of taking a vote now, which would be an injustice to Judge Parker and to North Carolina. DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES. The delegates at larpe to St. Louis, elected on first ballot, were Gen. Julian S. Carr, Locke Craig, ex-Minister E. J. Hale and State Senator John E. Woodard. Alternates—C. 0. McMichael, Eope Elias, C. B. Watson and xJames -A. Lockhart. One of the anomalies of the situation is that of the 24 delegates the State now has to St. Louis, going Under the majority unit rule, IS of them have formerly trained with what is known as the Cleveland element, seve­ ral known to be for his nomination now, but all for Parker, except one, who is said to 'oe ior HearstI senators Simmons and Overman and Governor Aycock Tefused to allow their names to be considered as delegates. F. S. Spruill, of Franklin county, and W. A. Self, of Catawba, were nomi­ nated by acclamation as presidential electors for the State at large, and the convention adjourned at 3:30 o’clock, after having been in almost continuous session since 12 o’clock yesterday.While the convention has been the largest and noisiest in the history of the State, every matter considered was without heat, and congratulations are board from all classes and assortments of Democrats over-the final outcome on all questions consiaerej, FULL TEXT OF THE PLATFORM The Platform Endorses the Adminis­ tration of State Government by the Democrats-Declarations on Nation­ al Questions, The following is the full text of th$ State Democratic Platfdrm adopted by the Grfeehsboro c6nventioni THE PLA.TFO&M. The Democratic party of North Caro­ lina, in ' convention assembled, de­ claring anew its allegiance to the fun­ damental principles of government as expressed in former piatfflrmS, c§fl- Sratulates the people Of the btate that a Democratic administration has again established throughout their borders the reign oi law and liberty hnd th8 i'fcigtt of peace and progress. RddiCdi rule with its nightmare of horrors, has passed away. Our people are no longer employed in guarding their homes and jirotecting their lives, liberty, and Iiroperty as they were under Republi­ can rule; but Safe In the protection of the law, breathing the air of liberty, and enjoying the freedom Which comfls from security, bur men and our women are devoting their energies to_ the Seacefui pursuits o£ honest industry, to the education Of their children, alld to the care of the hopeless and unfortu­ nate. Agriculture, manufacturing, and commerce ate bounding forward itt heiplul rivalry, heither tfeceivihg ho? desiring susibies or protection fexcept that afforded- by a stable and honest government. Nowhere in North Caro­ lina is there riot or disorder; nowhere is there suffering or destitution. Such are the fruits of peace and order, of honesty and efficiency, of intelligence and patriotism, of Democratic admin­ istration under the leadership of the peerless Orator, Statesman, and educa­ tor, Charles Brantly Aycock, and the other honest and efficient public offi­ cials associated with him in the State administration in all three depart­ ments of government. North Carolina has again come into her own. She stands In the forefront of Southern States, leading all,in edu­ cational and industrial progress. Her sons are looked to at home and abroad for educational, industrial, and com­mercial leadership. What a contrast to conditions existing recently when the delegation of our educational, charitable, and penal institutions, through the vices, incompetency, ex­ travagance, and corruption of Repub­ lican boards of management caused the State to bang her head in shame and stand an object of pity among her sister States. RACE PROBLEM SETTLED. The Democratic party points with pride to its settlement of the race prob­ lem in North Carolina—a settlement that depends upon Democratic supre­ macy for its permanency. The consti­ tutional amendment furnishes to all the people of the State safeguards of peace and order, of life, liberty, and happiness, and guarantees educational, religious, and social progress as well an industrial prosperity and develop­ment. EDUCATION. We re-affirm our constitutional dec­ laration that “religion" morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of man­ kind, schools, and the means of edu­ cation shall forever be encouraged,” snd that the people have a right to the privilege of education, and that ir is the duty of the State to guard and maintain that right,’ ’and we ex­ press our hearty approval of the edu­ cational work of the present adminis­ tration, and our gratification at the great improvement made in our edu­cational conditions under the present Democratic administration, and would ccll attention to the fulfillment of the former promise of the party to pro­vide at least a four months’ school term for all the children of the State. And we further express our cordial com- nsendation of the work of the teaching profession for the mental, moral, and material advancement of the people, and pledge for the future out best en­deavors to strengthen and increase the usefulness and efficiency of our whole public education system. TEMPERANCE. We approve the general principles of the Watts law regarding the man­ ufacture and sale of liquors, and lim­iting the same to localities in which there may be adequate police protec­ tion. The principle that no saloon or still shall operate except under po­ lice protection is as sound as that whiskey shall not be sold to minors, to drunKards, or on Sundays, or near the schools and churches. The Gen­ eral Assembly has the power, and when controlled by the Democratic party, can be trusted to make, all amendments that experience and con­ ditions may demonstrate to be wise and proper. THE-STATE’S PRISON. The contrast between the present and the preceding administration of the State prison speaks trnmpet- tongued of Democratic efficiency and Republican rascality and imbecility. In all the history of the State the lowest level of immorality, venality,, and in. humanity was reached in the manage­ ment of the State convention under the administration of Daniel L. Russell. Today the institution is free from debt end has on hand a surplus large enough to pay the bonds necessitated by Republican speculation and ineffi­ ciency. We pledge the party to con­tinued business-like and humane man­ agement of this institution. INSURANCE DEPARTMENT. We call attention to the success that has attended the .establishment of the Insurance Department' which has in­ creased our annual receipts by $90,- 000, and furthermore, In addition to this increase, that fees how received by the State in this department which for­ merly were allowed to the official col­ lecting them, are more than enough to cover all increases and additions in salaries of executive and judicial offi­ cers. TAXATION. We pledge the party to a fair and just system of taxation in which all subjects of taxation shall bear their just and equal proportion of the bur­ dens of government THE STATE DEBT. After long and careful deliberation and confidence with many of its cred­itors, the State of North Carolina ad­ justed its debt upon a basis so fair and honorable as to win the approval ot the financial world and to secure rat­ ification by nearly fevery Cteditor Of the State, During the jires§at year at­tempts have been made tfl f6opefl the question settled at that time by the State’s WiGeqt and best infcB; Thfe Demo­ cratic party in 1904 apphrteti the Set­ tlement made Ih 1879 aiid wili forever oppose ahy ahd ail attempts from any quarter to Set aside the settlement then made. It will abide the mandates of the courts, but it wiil riot consent to reogen the settlement that was alike creditable to the State ahd fair io the' holders Sf its securities: CONFEDERATE VETERANS. The Democratic party established the svstem of nensionins Confederate sol­diers and opened the Soldiers’ Home to the care of the veterans who responded to the call of the State in the war be­tween the States: EvMy dollar given them was appropriated Sr fbfc6d by the Democratic legislatures Sr DeniSeratic public sentiment; we pledge the party to a fuller discharge Bf £ deb never be -fully roes who fice upon e fully paid to a offered their n the altars of ebt that, can these aging h6- lives as a'Sacri- their country; THE UNFORTUNATE CLASSES. We jioint with pride to the record of the Democratic party in its care of the unfortunate classes of our State and promise to continue to enlarge our charitable institutions until all the in­ digent insane are cared for at the ex­ pense of the State, IMPROPER AND ILLEGAL RECEI­ VERSHIP, Corporations being creatures df the law should be under control of the sovereign and amenable to the law. But being useful and necessary in­ struments Of business all their rights should be guarded and Protected by the law. Like other citizens, they should be protected from Wrong oppression. Especially should they be protected from suits in form to procure receiver­ ships, designed to wreck the properties and transfer them from their rightful owners to the possession and control of financial adventures. We call upon Congress to enact laws clearly defining the powers of Federal judges in the appointment of receivers, and to protect corporations against improper and illegal appoint­ ments. FOREST RESERVE. We favor the establishment of the Appalachain Forest Reserve and urge our Senators and Representatives to continue their efforts to secure the establishment of the same. DEMOCRATIC RULE NECESSARY. At no period in the history of the republic has the Democratic party been so necessary to the welfare of the people and the cause of free gov­ ernment as it is today. A great con­ servative force, it stands a barrier be­ tween the recklessness of organized greed and the depression of oppressed humanity. Its mission is to give liber­ ty and justice to all, monqpoly and tyranny to none; to restrict the Fed­ eral government within the constitu­ tional limits of its authority; to re­ sist its every aggression beyond the scope of -its delegated power; to limit its power of taxation to the needs of' the government economically admin­ istered; to distribute impartially the burdens of government; to preserve unimpaired the reserved rights of the States and of the people; to maintain the right, of local self-government; these are and have always been among the fundamental principles of the Democratic party. It is especially necessary to restrict the executive head of the Federal government within the constitutiona! limits of his authority, ahd no argu­ ment of temporary expediency can justify the assumption by him of powers conferred. exclusively upon the legislative department of the gov­ ernment, or the violation by him of plain provisions ot constitutional, statute and treaty law. TRUSTS DOMINATE THE REPUBI- CAN PARTY. For the last eight years the Republi­ can party has been in complete con­ trol of the Federal government in all its branches. -During that time trusts and monopolies have multiplied. They have increased- their extortions from the people. They dominate the Repu­ blican party and compel it to adminis­ ter the affairs of the republic in their selfish interest. We condemn, the President for his surrender to trust influences and for his failure to en­ force the law against monopolies and monopolists. Congress appropriated $500,000 to employ special counsel to enforce the laws against trusts. In twelve months he expended for such purpose oly one-twentieth of that sum. In the midst ot crime and havoc committed by these wrong-doers he will not stop the violation of statutes enacted for the protection of the peqgle, nor pun­ ish the criminals who plunder them, although his attention was called to the manner in which the perpetrators might be punished by recent decisions of the Supreme Court. THE TARIFF. We denounce the present iniquitous, unjust and trust-creating protective tariff, imposed upon the people by the Republican party, and demand its im­ mediate revision, to the end that ail unjust burdens shall be removed, and especially those upon the necessaries of life and those that enable the trusts to extort from the people unreasonable profits, and to sell their products to consumers at home at greater prices than are charged for the same goods to the foreign consumer. CENTRALIZATION. We view with alarm the growing tendency of the government under Re­ publican administrations toward des­ potic centralization at home as well as despotic imperialism abroad. We denounce the policy of the Republi­can party in building up a strong centralized government at Washington at the expense of the sacred rights of the soveriegn States, which in its policy and conduct has reversed the clause of the Constitution reserving to the States all rights not specifically conferred upon the Federal govern­ ment, and has assumed for the central government at Washington the vast residum «f power solemnly guaranteed to the people by the Constitution. The inevitable consequence of this policy will be the destruction Cf popular gov ernment and the establishment of a military empire. Confidently -relying ijpon these fun­ damental principles of government and appealing to the record of oar party In- the past, we invite ail who believe in popular liberty, popular edu­ cation, popular government and white supremacy, .in freedom both at home and abroad, in honesty, efficiency, sim­ plicity, and economy of administra­ tion, in the removal of monopolies' and oppressions under whatever guise and by whomsoever practiced, to unite with us in maintaining in North Carolina Democratic rule and in de-. stroving Republican misrule in the United States. VRT HOT VUTIlR I A Well Known Canadian Lady Sends Letter of Endonement to Fe-m-na. Misa Mary Burns, 28 Spring Garden Road, Halifax, N. S., writes: “Havingused Peruua for indigestion and stomach trouble and to build tip a broken down system with the very best resuits, J am pleased to state my experience Mnth this excellent medicine. I had been troubled with stomach trouble and poor digestion for some years, and although I tried many remedies and dieting, nothing seemed to restore my health until I used Peruna. In three months i had entirely recov­ered my health and strength. —J&ry Burns. XES WOMEN MRYOOS. Suggestions by Dr. Hartman—How1 to Combat the Nervous Depression 1 Incident to Warm Weather. NerviOUsness is fery common among women. TlHs condition ia due to anaemia nerve centers. The nerve centers are the reservoir fof nerve vitality. These csaters become bloodJfti? ior the vast of proper nutrition. .This condition is especially noticeable during the Wdrio season. Every sum- met cin army of invalids are produced as a direct fCsttH of weak nervous system^ vThis could easily be overcome by the* use of Peruna. Pertinft strikes at the root of the trouble by corrccting the digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes in* , creased nutrition for the nerve centre?* Perfectly digested food gives these reaer* voire of lile a vitality which creates stroog> steady nerves, and in this manner fortifie# and nourishes life.Mies Blanche Grey, a prominent young society woman of Memphis, Tenn., in a recent letter from 174 Alabama Steeett writes: mTo a society woman whose ner­vous force is of ten taxed to the utmost from lack of rest and irregular meals,I know o f nothing which isofsom nch benefit as Peruna, I took it a few nths ago when I felt my strength giv- way, and Unoon m ade Itself m a>„ st in giving me new strength and health.”—Mtss Blanche Grey, Pe-rn-na Contains No Barcotici One reason why Peruna has found per' manent use in so many homes is that it contains no narcotic of any kind. PernUa is perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without acquiring a drug habit. Peruna does not produce temporary results. It is permanent in its effect.It has no bad effect upon the svstem, and gradually eliminates catarrh by re­moving the cause of catarrh. There are a multitude of homes whero Peruna has been used off and on for twenty years. Such a thing could not be possible if Peruna con* tained any drugs of a narcotic nature.At this season of the year we are pe­culiarly liable to inflammations ci the stomach and bowels. It is the part of wis­dom to learn how to treat them short and in the easiest and quickest manner. Pe­runa does this by its peculiar power- over all forms of catarrhal troubles. In Vsc 20 Y ears.

W ell W orth Seeing, One of the most interesting exhibits among; the many of all kinds at the Louis­iana Purchase Sxposition in St. Louis is that of the Winchenter Repeating Arms Company, of New Havent Conn., manu­facturers of repeating rsfies and shotguns and all kinds of ammunition. The exhibit was in readiness and was opened on the first day of the fair, a fact that clearly, illustrates the enterprise and up-to-date methods of the company behind it. It is the aim of the Winchester JRepeating Arms Company to show at their exhibit the high development which they have reached in the making of guns and ammu­nition, and one needs only to see the ex­hibit to realize how near to perfection that development has come. There can be seen the new' automatic repeating rifle, all kinds of shotguns, the modern smoke­less powder shotgun shells and riile car­tridges; in fact everything that can interest the devotees of hunting and trap and tar­get shooting.
