FOK deiesd much that is going on in both parties. This paper is not afraid of politicians of either party nor both of them, hetice calls a spade a spade. The burning question is : How much longer will the voters quietly submit to this state of affairs I— Raleigh Enterprise. The above article from the En­ terprise is too true in many re­ spects for the good ot our country. Thefe are reasons for it, and there should be a remedy. In the first place Democratic methods in the South have so disguested many of our people, that rather than toler­ ate such intolerable conditions many of the voters are staj’ing at home—refusing to take part in the electiou. In Mississippi, South Carolina, and other Southern States not one fifth of the voters go to the polls. John Sharpe Williams, the Democratic leader in Congress got less than sixteen hundred'votes out of a voting population of about for­ ty (honsand; not as many votes cast in his Congressional disrtict as are cast in Davie connty, Only last wctk a friend from an adjoin ing Democratic connty told us,that lots of Democrats said they were not going to the polls. Why ? They are disgusted Wioli their par­ ty. AVe regret that the Republican party contains some of the same kind of men, but are .thankful that they are not in control. Davie has a few snch barnacles, but they will be pushed aside in the onward march. A D-UfOKEOC* STATE OP AFFAIRS Wc often hear substantial farm­ ers. Iiusiiiess and professional men nay that the future welfare of North Ciiiiilina so far as political cond- tiims can affect it, depends upon n lietheror uot we have two strong. Jiygre--Sive parties. One party means political dryrot, decadence, misrule, extravagance, arrogance, high taxes and everything else ex­ cept good government. The above is substantially the Musesus of the opinion of as good Democrats as any in the Stale, a? well as that of leading Republicans ami Independents. Of comse the politicians are not saying so, for wine of them on both sides may get lost ir, the scuffle. We arc talking about the best portion of our citi- zciisliip. You may rest assured that cer­ tain Democratic politieaus arc very well satisfied. They are in the ring. The present electiou Jaw, irliile uot actually compelling dry- rot, is iu^euiously framed for the irarpose of bringing it about. Re­ mit hard-fought town and city elections have demonstrated' that lesstlian halfof the qualified white voters took enough interest to vote either way. This is a dangerous state of affaire in a republic, and matters will grow rapidly worse, affecting both State and national flections. To the average politi nan this is as much of a snap as it Wiitld be for officials of a bank to Kn lionie and leave the vault tin locked and leave the front door open when robbers are around. So wiich for the Democratic side of it,. We have heard from many sour- that certain Federal ofliee-hold crS in the State (a few only) are liiterly oppuseil to anything like PKigressive or aggressive action. Is it possible that they fear that they winli not be able to get a job if "ioir party should become power­ ful and aggressive with new Hood "i its veins! There is no other ex­ planation.

The Hornet has been wanting t.j say some things for a long time, One of these things we are going to say right now and say it frankly and non-deeeitfully. It is that the Hornet man has been, is now, and always will be a “Bryan Demo­ crat.” What he means by being a Bryan Democrat” is that the principles of the Ghicagoand Kan sas City platforms are ours pure and simple. But it seems that some of our political brethren have not agreed with its all the while, and now having securcd sufficient support they have dominated our Convention to such an extent as not to allow a complets affirmation of the two past platforms. Bnt we are glad Io know that the differ­ ence is not so great as we had anti­ cipated it to be. Therefore, after carefully thinking the matter all over, we are prepared to say from onr own stand point that all is well. Our candidate is all right. More especially is our platform all right, and if either should be the stronger, it should be the latter on which the former is to stand. We repeat that all is well, and onr platform and candidates should re­ ceive the hearty support of all Democrats. Whoever sticketh to his party, whether right oi wrong, but al­ ways the latter, is a Radical of the good for nothing kind. — Fork Church Hornet. ‘Just” iead the above two paragraphs, and sec if yon think a Philadelphia lawyer could recon­ cile the conflicting statements taken from the Fork Church Hornet. The Editor is a 16 to I Bryan fol­ lower, and his party claims that Mr. Bryau was completely squelch­ ed and snowed under by the con­ servative element. Now, if that be true, and his party has repudi­ ated Bryan and Bryanisro, what kind of a Radical is it that swal­ lows the dose set before him in the persons of Parker and Davis. [SILVER SNAKE NOT SCOTCHED. Intelligent voters should be care­ ful lest they be led into believing the contention of some of the East­ ern Democmts that the Democratic party is now in favor of the gold- standard. There is no room for any misunderstanding on this ques­ tion. Jndge Parkei- bolted his platform, which had been adopted by an overwhelming vote in'the convention? and the ■ party"did. not sustain him, but simply, in order to extricate itself from a situation that threatened a disruption of the convention, notified him to go ahead and hold the political post­ mortem in his own way and make whatever disposition of the corpse hedeemed proper. r The masses of the Democratic or­ ganization fully understand that they were imposed upon by trick­ ery' and falsehood, to which they submitted rather than renew a fight whieh had already exhausted them. Thesilver men are keenly aware that they were buncoed at the eleventh hour and robbed of their just share of the fruits of the" convention by trickery and cunning on the part of David B. Hiil and his lieutenants. : The result is that the party still has its meaningless platform and Silver orcifcoraoftlte VVest can point to the fact that the platform ’ does not declare against their beliefs. .Sofiir as the plat­ form goes the Democratic party is just- as mnch of a free silver party to-day as it was when J. W. BryaD led it to two defeats. If evidence outside of the platform is needed to show that the silver men are still confident of controlling the party organization, W. J. Bryan has sup­ plied that evidence. In a formal, written statement, issued upon his return to Lincoln from the St. Louis convention, he said, “As soon as the electiou is over I will, with the help of tiiose who believe as I do (iu the free coinage of silver at 16 to I), undertake to organize for the campaign of 190S.” The silver snake has not been scotched. It has hardly beeii stunned. I . & THOM PSON DRUGGIST, No. 13 West Fourth Street, Winston, N. C. Is the Place to Buy D fflG SlT O 'M T EA R T IC L E SIflT O .

A trial is all we ask. Very truly yours, - ww rmm jmwm&m®.. Ouk Democratic friends in some parts, are quite wratby because the Republicans contend that' sound money is an issue. The Democrats Ignoi1Cd the question in its plat­ form, at Hillaud Bryan’s instance, for the sake of harmony. Judge Parker says its settled; yet he twice voted for Hr. Bryan and 16 to I, endorsing the laiat and only Democratic platform utterances on the money question. If Uicy were for sound money, why did they not so say in their platform ? READ THESE. The Democratic party must not be considered sane just because it has escaped from its late keeper. “The Democratic platform is fit only for a dishonest party,” said Mr. Bryan. Well, it fits doesn't it. The Republicans declared for the gold-standard from conviction. Tbe Democrats omitted the money plank from fear. It is said that Judge Parker dear­ ly loves to-be out in a storm. He will ge.t. his fill of that when he is canghtin that blizzard Kovembcr S. The Democraticcandidate for the vice-president was a railroad man for many years. The voters will tell him where he got off iu November. A poet wants to know “How Long -Does Hope Last?” Well, with a Democrat it last from Con­ vention day until the night of the election. Votere would pay more attention to Democratic promises for the fu­ ture if they were not so closely linked on the lips with apologies for the past. The St. Louis convention served one purpose in showing that the Democrats never accept Republi­ can principles until they are about eight years old. Western Democrats assert that they are not satisfied with the poli­ tical character of their vice-presi­ dential nominee. His financial character, however, is all right. The Democrats who allowed Judge Parker to write their money piauk should be fair and allow Mil­ lionaire Davis to revise their trust plank to suit his pleasure and his interests. “What makes you think we won’t elect the Democratic ticket?” shouts Col.Watterson. We’ll answer that, Colonel, when yon tell us first what makes you think yon will, if you really think that wav. Or.e thing must be said in Judge Parker’s favor, He thinks so well of. the Republican gold-standard policy that he has recommended it to a party that he knows does not believe in it and is not honest in claiming to do so. Particular attention is being called to the faet that JndgeParker passes the contribution plate in church every Sunday. When you come to think of it, there are not many Democrats who would be trusted with tlsat task.

He Plehve, the Minister of the Interior, was assassinated b.v means of a bomb thrown at his carriage while he was driving to the Baltic Station to take a train for the palace at Peterhof, where he was to make his weekly report to the Emperor. The assassination, is believed to be the outcome of a widespread plot, the existence of which had been suspected for several days. Numerous arrests have already been made, including that of tlie assassin, a young man who is believed to be a Finn named Leglo, and-who is now in a hospital, severe­ ly and perhaps mortally injured by the explosion of his own boiub. An accomplice of Leglo, also appar­ ently a Finn, but whose name is un­known, has been arrested.

WASHINGTON ITEMS. Pigeons and other birds have taken' up their abode In the gilded dome of the Library of Congress. The Pauama Canftl Commission held its final meeting pending its depart­ ure for the Isthmus. Second Lieutenant Victor C. Lewis, Twenty-eighth Company, Coast Artill­ ery, who disappeared at San Francisco, on April 22. just as his company was about to sail for ihe Philippines, has been dropped from the army list as a deserter. ing or wounding over a score of per­ sons. M. de Plehve and his coachman were killed outright, and an officer of the guard was mortally injured. One of the cyclist detectives arrest­ ed the assassin, who endeavored to escape, though wounded by splinters in the face, arm and abdomen. The explosive is believed to have been pyroxylin, as it gave off little smoke. The force of the explosion was so terrific that it not only broke every window within a radius of half a mile, but reduced the heavy paving stones to powder, heaved up the pavement, and flung a heavy piece of the iron­ work of the carriage across the canal, severing the thick mast of a barge, which fell, stunning the captain of the barge. Everybody in the street was knocked down and more or less bruised. Immediately there ensued a sceue of the wildest confusion. Police and gendarmes hurried up from every di­ rection and vast crowds gathered about the spot where the body of the Munster lay. It had been partially covered with a police officer’s overcoat. A few yards from M. de Plohve’s body lay the coachman’s remains. The news of the tragedy spread like wildfire throughout St. Petersburg, causing consternation everywhere. Po­ lice reserves were hurried to the scene from all parts of the city. Guarded by the police, the body re­ mained in the street until the arrival of the judicial officials, even in the case of the most powerful Minister of the empire, the law requiring that this formality be observed before the body could be removed. When the officers of the law. headed by Minister of Justice Muravieff, had terminated the necessary formalities by drawing up a WTitten report of the crime, the 'remains were conveyed to an humble chapel adjoining tile sta­ tion. The priests and people, with characteristic Russian piety, at once joined in a solemn requiem. The body was then placed in a car­riage, covered by a robe, and was taken to the deceased’s magnificent town residence, adjoining the Ministry of the Interior, where it was complete­ ly covered with a write shroud which concealed the ghastly mutilation. It lay in a black and silver casket in a corner of the vast hall surrounded by luxuriant palms. The news was broken to the Min­ ister’s wife at Kybinsk, on the Volga, while on her way to their country seat with their bou, who is thirty-seven years old. The Czar almost broke down when he was informed of the Minister’s murder. The Czarina was not informed of the tragedy In view of the hourlv ex­ pectation of the birth of an heir to the throne.

Second: because assessment on the Seaboard Air Liac is greater and out of proportion to that on other roads and made by a different rule and method from that used in assessing the proper­ ty of other roads. Third, because the law under which the assessment is made is unconstitutional because con­ flicting with article 5, section 3 of the constitution.

T hetw om enw ereina buggy, taking a satchel containing about $3,000, with which to pay the coal company's employes at Puritan, from the Adams Express office at Por­ tage to the coal town, when, at a point about three-quarters of a mile out of Portage, they were suddenly fired upon by three men armed with shot guns. Hayes fell to the bottom of the buggy pierced by 37 buckshot wounds In his neck and breast, and died about haif an hour later. Campbell was hit in the shoulder and fell from the buggy. The highwaymen came out from their place of hiding in the woods to the right of the road, secured the satchel of money and escaped. According to their usual custom near the first of the month, Campbell and Hayes went to Portage about 8 o’clock in the morning and ate breakfast at the Portage House, At 9 o'clock the two went to thfe Office Of tlie Adams Ex­ press Company, where they obtained about $3,000 in gold and bills, which they placed in a small leather satchel. Armed with 48-calibre revolvers as a protection against possible robbery, they got into their buggy and drove out the township road, This was the last seen of them before the Shooting took place. AbOut ten minutes after their departure, Mr, Helsel, a farmer, who lives four miles from Portage, started for home in,a spring wagon, over the same road which the paymaster and his driver had taken. Three-quarters of a mile from town, where the road is flanked by woods, he Suddenly came upon the body of a man apparently writhing in the death agony, in the middle of the road. Getting down from his wagon, Helsel discovered the wounded man to be Campbell. The lat­ ter was drenched with blood, which was flowing from ft Wound In the right shoulder. Although itt dreadful agony Campbell was still consci­ ous and managed to whisper to Helsel that he and his driv­ er had been fired upon by robbers; that he, dizzy from his wound, had fallen from the buggy, which had gone on, Helsel staunched the man’s wounds as best he could with a handkerchief and a bit of linen ripped from his coat, lifted him into the wagon and started out on the road in search of the team and the driver. He came upon the pay­ master’s -buggy, standing at the side of the road, the horse, unharmed, nib­ bling at the long grass. Coming up op­posite the vehicle, he found the form of the driver, Hayes, lying motionless and bloody across the bottom of the buggy. Investigation showed the man’s body from tbe base Of the abdo­ men to the rieck a mass Of gun-shot wounds, showing red and ghastly through a great rent in the clothing, made by the heavy shot. He seemed to be dead. Helsel tried to lift the prostrate form into his wagon with Campbell, but could not, Hayes weigh­ ing about 190 pounds. As no help was at hand, and there Was no house near­ er than Portage, Helsel turned his team about and drove at a gallop back to this place, his now unconscious pa­ tient laying in the bottom of the wag­ on. He drove directly to the office of Dr. J. A. Schofield, in whose charge Campbell was placed, secured assist­ ance and went back for Hayes. The body of the driver was taken to Portage, where physicians discovered that although Hayes was unconscious life was not quite extinct He was wounded beyond recovery, and died within 10 minutes after being brought into the office. Meanwhile Paymaster Campbell, who was still in the office of the doctor, had regained consciousness and was able to give a brief, whispered account of the hold-up to Dr. Schofield and Landlord Yeckley, of the Portage House, who was helping the physician.’ He said that nothing unusual or sus­ picious had occurred during the ride from Portage to the place where the shooting took place. 800 Men In Pursuit. Portage, Pa., Special.—Pursued by 100 men, the three men who murdered Charles Hayes, driver, and perhaps fatally wounded Patrick F. Campbell, paymaster for the Puritan Coal Com­ pany, about a mile sooth of this place Saturday morning, are hiding in Cedar Swamp about seven miles from Port­ age, on the Bedford county line. One of the fugitives is injured, but not enough to affect his flight. In parties of about 20,'the pursuing men are scattered out pver the entire boundery of Laurel Thicket Swamp, which is 12 miles long and seven wide. Every minute, signal shots are heard from different parts of the swamp. A system of signals have been arranged so that none of the searchers will get lost, and to enable them to surround the fugitives when they are found. Justice of the Peace McCarthey, of Beaverdale, a town about six miles to the south of Portage, about 11 o’clock noticed three men running across the town toward the swamp. McCarthey called upon about 20 followers to hur­ ry. They fired, and before reaching the swamp one of the fugitives fell. Another volley of shots rang out as the fallen man attempted to rise, and he stnmbled again. His companions lifted him to his feet, and the three hurried into the swamp. When Justice McCar- they and his posse arrived they saw a -trail of blood leading from where the, man had fallen into the swamp. They' followed, but when about 50 yards In, iost the trail. The party then separated one: man being detailed to Beaverdale .t and the others scattering through the i v. ampy paths and beating the swamp. Good Rains Have Fallon Throughoui Most* Sections of the State. The Weather Bureau, of the National Department of Agriculture, issues the following BulleUn for the week end­ ing Monday, July 25: The weather during the first half of the week was warm and dry with tem­ peratures ranging above normal; the latter part was showery and decidedly cooler. General rains set In during the afternoon on the 21st'and continued at Intervals in most sections of the State on the 22nd and 23rd. The heaviest downpours occurred again In the south- central section, although there were heavy damaging rains in Davidson and Granville counties; while the lightest showers occurred in the eastern dis­ trict, with practically no rain in the extreme eastern counties. Elsewhere the rainfall was sufficient and came at the proper Ume to benefit all growing crops. In the extreme eastern part of the State there is a general complaint of drought, which has been unbroken for a number of weeks; and the crops in that section are beginning to show its effects. Corn and cotton continue to im­ prove satisfactorily; blooms on cotton are now general. Threshing wheat is still In progress in the central and wes­ tern parts of the State, excepting the extreme west, where harvesting is in the state of completion. Tobacco, on an average made very slight improvement during the week. There were a number of fields badly damaged bjr hail and wind storms, which occurred in several eastern and central- counties on the 21st. Curing is becoming general in the principal tobacco growing districts. Peas are growing nicely. Melons are ripening and are being placed on the market; the quality, however, is gener­ ally not satisfactory. Apples continue to drop; prospects for other fruit are fair.

OxpTted to U d kT steps Whlch ar« Preparations Nearly Completed For a Decisive Passage at Arms A SURVEY OF Tlli TWO POSITIONS Main Bodies Very Near, Russians Holding Three Passes—Japanese Line of Great Strength, With Trenches and Breasworks. Kushiatzu, Manchuria, By Cable--As a great battle appears imminent, a survey of the positions of the two armies will be interesting. The main bodies of the Russians and Japanese are very near each other. They now form, In the north, a more powerful array than at any previous time. Vir­ tually, however, the same conditions prevail north of Hiacheng as previous­ ly reported. The Russians, are holding Tien Shuitsan, Chuit- siayan, Pien and Kuanchia passes. The latter is three miles east of here. In view of the fact that serious fighting Is anticipated in the near future, the Chinese have begun to disappear from between the lines and to brick up their houses, though heretofore they have not vacated their property ex­ cept in immediate firing zone, between the pickets. A mile and a half east of Kuanchia Pass, the Associated Press correspond­ ent accidentally crossed the zone of the Japanese fire, and was fully twenty minutes crossing the bed of the Shi river, .under fire evidently from the Yuhuangkoa temple, on the east side of the river, and in plain view of the Russian pickets. The Japanese line extends, thence south, and is apparent­ ly of great strength, with trenches and breastworks. It approaches within a mile of Lien Pass and continues along the Shi river to Sipenpass and then to Hoyan, facing the Tienshuitsan and Oangtzu Pass positions. The correspondent visited the en­ tire eastern line. It is an ideal re­ gion for military operations. Immense columns of troops are traversing the numerous valleys to reconnotre the passes and are finding mountain ar­ tillery on the hillsides. The Japan­ ese officers are in plain view, pacing up and down the trenches as though encouraging their men. The Russains, from equally fine positions, are making offensive demonstrations of intense in­ terest, inviting attack and manoeuv­ ring. The first ascent of a Russian mili­ tary balloon occured yesterday even­ ing, and, against the flaming sunset the balloon was visible to the entire Japanese army around Motien Pass. The balloon caused much amazement among the Chinese. The Japanese, as this dispatch is filed, can plainly be seen taking up positions for the conflict. They are apparently determined to fight, and It is reported that the Russian com­ mander has ordered preparations to be made for four or five thousand wounded. Packers Add 1,000 Men. Chicago, Special.—Both the packers and the strikers spent Sunday in strengthening any weak spots that could be found in their defense, pre­ paratory to another week of effort to bring their opponents to terms. Nothwithstanding that it was Sunday, all the plants were operated during the forenoon in order to get rid of the livestock that had been left over from last week. The remainder of the day was spent by employers in­ stalling new men in strikers’ places, and arranging many small details overlooked during the heat of the conflict. Over 1,000 men were add­ ed to the number already at work in the different plants. Street Car Fatality In Memphis. Memphis, Tenn., Special.—W. N. Brown, a retired cotton factor of this city, was struck and killed by a street car on Poplar Boulevard Sunday. Mr. Brown was 75 years of age, and has been prominent both in business and political affairs in Memphis, and was well known here and in Arkansas and Mississippi. A World's Record Broken. New York, SpeciaL—In the pres­ ence of fully 7,000 spectators, who attended the Gaelic Athletic tourna­ ment, for the benefit of the Christian Brothers’ Training College, at Clon- rtaif, Dublin, Ireland, at Celtic Park, Long Island City, John J. Flanagan, of the Greater New York Irish Ath­ letic Association, raised his world’s sixteen-pound hammer throwing rec­ ord from 171 feet 9 inches, to 173 feet. He also threw' the fifty-six pound weight a distance of 36 feet 4 inches, which is within 6 inches of his world’s record with that weight. Protest Against Asphait Lake Seizure. Port of Spain, Trinidad, By Cable.— The British minister at-Caracas has strongly protested in the name of the English bondholders against the seiz­ ure by the Venezuelan government of the Asphalt Lake at Guanaco, the property of the New York and Bermu­ dez Asphalt Company, maintaining that the interests of the bondholders will be menaced unless the lake be immediately restored to the company.

At 4:10 o’clock Monday afternoon nine prisoners escaped from the coun­ ty jail at Dallas, and are at large. Two of the prisoners were white and seven were colored. One negro, who was blind, failed to get away. From the best information it seems that the negro porter recently employed failed to bar and lock the doors se­ curely. When the prisoners found that the doors were insecurely fastened they made a rush past the guard. Mrs. Arm­ strong, wife of Sheriff Armstrong, saw them rushing down the stairs and gave the alarm. At last account none of the prisoners had been caught. Harry Short and H. E. Kimbrough were arrested on the yards of the Southern Railway in Asheville Sunday by Chief of Police Jordan and Patrol­ man Wilson. When the officers made the arrests they thought they had taken two men—the woman was dress­ ed in a suit of black clothes, her hair was cut close and she looked to he a boy of 18 or 20 years age. Her state­ ment revealed the fact that she was in disguise, and also that she was the same person who had won considerable newspaper notoriety in Charlotte and Knoxville. The man paid the fines of both. . Experts from the State Agricultural Department are now making the an­ nual tour of the State, taking samples of food for man and beast which are on sale.

He was conscious when found but died in 15 minutes. He requested that his body be shipped to his bro­ ther in Murphy. He had $800 and some cheeks in his pocket. Secretary of State Grimes made another very valuable “find” in the old archives, in shape of a bond for 12,000 pounds sterling, given by Col­ onel James Ingress, who was colonel of the South Carolina regiment which was sent to what was then the far northwestern border, during tho war between Great Britain and the French and Indians, not long before the de­ feat of General Braddock. The signa­ ture and seal of Colonel Ingress are very clear. Saturday afternoon Mr. M. McKen­ zie, a northern man, one of the pro­ prietors of the Pine Product Com­ pany, operated, a few miles west of Fayetteville, was badly hurt in a run­ away, his horse throwing him from his buggy and breaking his left leg above the knee. The injured limb was set and Mr. McKenzie was taken to the Highsmith hospital at Fayetteville. State Chairman Simmons will open Democratic headquarters in Raleigh on AugUst 15th.

Formal Ceremonies at His Oyster Bayt L. I., Home. OFFICIALLY TOLD OF NOMI NATION Speaker Cannon, as Chairm an of the Notification Committee, DTakes the A ddress-T he President B eplies After a W arm G reeting by th e Spectators— IiUncheon Served the Guests* Oyster Bay, L. I.—President Koose* velt was notified formally of his nom* !nation for tiie presidency by the Re­ publican National Convention. The ceremony toot place at his counfry home at Sagamore Hill, three miles from this village. In accordance with the wish of the President, the cere­ mony was made as simple as possible. The formal notification of the action of the convention was made, on behalf of a committee representing every State and Territory in the United States, by Joseph G. Cannon, Speaker of the House of Representatives. The day opened with ideal weather, and arrangements for the ceremony were completed at an early hour. The wide veranda of the house, extending almost around the building, was dec­ orated with American flags hung from pillar to pillar. . In addition many houses in the neighborhood of the Roosevelt home and ill Oyster Bay were draped with the national colors. Across the main street of the village there hung a large Roosevelt and Fairbanks ban­ner. The special train bearing the mem­ bers of the notification committee and the invited guests left Long Isl­ and City at 10.3a a. m., and arrived here at 11.35 o'clock. Only three of the members. of the committee were absent. They were James N. Coombs, of Florida; Senator Channcey M. De­ pew, of New York, who is in Europe, and Senator Clarence D. Clark, of 'Wy­ oming. Included among the invited guests were men prominent in all walks of life. Those present num­ bered about 125. On arrival at Sagamore Hill the committeemen were received by Presi­ dent Roosevelt, Mrs. Roosevelt and National Chairman George B. Cortel- you. AU of the house guests of the President were gathered oh the veran­da, and as the occupants of each car­ riage alighted they were welcomed by the President, and each was pre­ sented to Mrs. Roosevelt. At the sonclusion of the informal re­ ception rhe ceremony of notification began. While the members of the family, the house guests and some of the distinguished visitors were as­ sembled on the veranda, a majority of those In attendance gathered on the lawn facing the veranda. When Speaker Cannon rose to deliv­ er his speech of notification he was greeted with applause. At the close of Mr. Cannon's address the President advanced to the veranda railing, and standing under the great festoon of American flags delivered his address in response to the notifica­ tion. As he faced the assemblage he was warmly applauded. The speech of acceptance of the President was short and was made up of a review of the accomplishments of the administration. Uncle Joe” Cannon was the first to extend a congratulatory hand to Presi­ dent Roosevelt after the speech. Mr. Cortelyou was next, and the mem­ bers of the notification committee followed. Following the formal ceremonies a buffet luncheon was served, and after more congratulation and more hand shaking the long line of car­ riages began its return trip to the sta­ tion.

Arrested at Brigltton,Beach Bace Track as Hts Horse TVon Thonsands For Him—Ball Accepted at 85000» New Tork City.—John J. Ryan, race­ track plunger, promoter of “get-rieh- quic-k” schemes and owner of outlayr tracks, was arrested at the Brighton Beach, near here, on a warrant issued at the instance of District Attorney Folk, of S i Louis, charging Ryan with Ihe embezzlement of 5SOU.OOO. Had Detective Sergeant Valleiy, who came down with a brother officer from Police Headquarters, planned the ar­ rest of the plunger with a view to its dramatic effect; he could not have suc­ ceeded better. The field for the third race, a selling affair at one and one-sixleenth miles, was lined up behind the barrier wait­ ing for the starter to send it away. Among the horses was the black geld­ ing Monster, carrying the green jacket und the green banknotes of John J. Ryan, his owner. Just as the grandstand proclaimed the old, but always thrilling, announce­ ment, “They’re off!” the detective stepped up to the plunger, who was standing with field glasses in hand ou the brick knoll iu front of the betting ring. “They want you up at headquarters, Mr. Ryan,” he explained, showing his order of arrest. ‘Be with you in a second,” Ryau replied; cheerfully. “He got away nice­ ly, didn’t he?” and he levelled his glass ou the field of galloping thorough­breds. Monster was In third position then and was going strong and easily. “Why, he’ll gallop—there’s nothin’ to it,” Ryan yelled, forgetting in the superior exhilaration of seeing his horse win the petty annoyance of a warrant; “he’ll make that mare curl up before they hit the stretch—he’ll walk home!” Monster did not fulfil the prophecy literally, but he won the race very com­ fortably, and when the numbers had been ruu up and the red board con­ firmed the placing of the first three horses Ryan turned to the detective. “If you'd come a minute sooner,” he explained, regrettfnlly, “Pd have put you wise. I got 9 to 5 for most of mine!” Earlier in the day Assistant Circuit Attorney Fiekersou, of St. Louis, In company with a detective, had gone to Police Headquarters and presented an order of requisition from Governor Dockery of Missouri for Ryan’s appre­ hension, and on this the warrant was issued. It charged him with grand larceny and embezzlement and was dated July 23. As Vallely was taking his prisoner from the track Ryan espied Daniel O’Reilly, ex-Assistant District Attor­ ney, on the brick lawn. “Dan,” he called to him, “I’m in a bit of trouble, and I wish you’d come along with me.” O’Reilly joined him, and the party went to Police -Headquarters, where Ryan’s “pedigree was taken.” He. said he was thirty-nine years old, and gave his occupation as horse racing. Later he was released on $5000 bail, the amount fixed by Justice Amend, In the Supreme Court. The bond was furnished by Congressman Timothy D. Sullivan. Assistant Circuit Attorney Fickerson said at the Waldorf that about eighteen months ago St. Louis seemed the headquarters of a number of “get- ricli-quick”' concerns, which tricked people all over the country. Ryan, he said, started a kind of co-operative racing syndicate, and advertised in small papers throughout the country, asking people to invest as stockholders, promising big dividends on racing schemes, and saying he had a scheme as an expert bookmaker for beating the races. Ryan issued a lot of'stock, Fiekerson said, and gave bits of paper for stock to the victims, who received, said the St. Louis official, about fifteen cents on the dollar. TAGGERT ELECTED CHAIRMAN.

When a Dyak of Borneo makes love he helps the girl in the hardest por­ tion of her daily toil.

If the girl accepts she rises and takes from her lover the betel and sweetmeats he has brought her. That seals their betrothal and he departs as he came, neither‘speaking nor be­ ing spoken to.

New York City.—Two facts imme­ diately impress the student of the fiscal year's showing of gold exports and imports—the magnitude of the to­tal movement, and the fact that, de­ spite the unprecedented $40,000,000 lump sum remittance to France, gold imports exceeded exports. As for the first point, gold exports and imports combined foot up $180,567,000 for the twelvemonth past, whereas 1903 gave only $94,072,000, and the highest pre­ vious record was $145,934,000, In the fiscal year 1896. The equally striking fact Is, that despite the $60,000,000 gold shipment of April and May to Paris, and the $21,000,000 earlier exportations, im­ ports for the twelvemonth exceeded exports. This rather remarkable re­ sult was brought about thus: During that period Japan has sent us some­ thing like $35,000,000 gold, largely In transit From the Klondike we have drawn $20,000,000, from Mexico $10,- 000,000, and from Australia $7,000,000; these were new gold supplies. But even these large receipts would not have counterbalanced the heavy ex­ ports, but for $22,000,000 gold wrenched forcibly from London last November and December. Oregon Hop Crop Smaller. Indications are that the Oregon hop crop will amount to about 90,000 bales, or 15,000 bales less than last year. The season has been unfavor­ able, the long dry spell of last month very nearly causing a failure. The quality of the crops, however, is excep­ tionally good, however. Rear Admiral Taylor Dead.

A CtflfAniIa Democratic Kewepaper Boita Farkert Tlit Daily Bee, the lcadiug Dem­ ocratic newspaper iu Sacramento, t'alifornia, announces that it will not support the Democratic candi­ date for President. It endorses the lteimhliean candidate and platform in the foilowiug editorial: “The IJee can say of Theodore Sooscielt that the T rustsdo not want him, while they do want- Parker, “And it ran say of the Republi­ can platform that whenever there vas anythiug to be said on any public issue, it said it. It did not Iie-Sirate, and stammer and stutter anil finally pnt out a toug farrago of words, saying much and mean­ ing nothing; nor did it smother the question altogether, on the ground that there were no votes to be got by injuring anybody's feelings on either side. “The Republican platform stands out In the open and says: ‘Here I am. You can either take me or leave me.’ “The l)emocra.tic platform darts out sncakmgly like a Chatham Street second-hand clothing-dealer, appealing to each voter: ‘My op­ inions arc just the same as yours. Vot arc yours? Oome in and I ’ll flioiv you a coat that vill perfectly lit you. I can fit any man of any size.’ “In this world, men cannot get all they want, nor half they desire, They must make a choice lietween wliat is set before them. “And the Bee chooses Tlieoilore Roosevelt in preference to Alton Brooks Parker. “It chooses Roosevelt because, witJi all his faults, he stands self- reliant in his American manhood, independent, courageous,- plucky, conscientious, untramineled and unpurchaseable; shackled to no 8Jiiifate or corporations; the thrall °t no crimiual coterie waxiug fat "pun illegal profits; the automatic 'nouthpicce of no predatory mone •nry Himbinatiou evading ju st laws Ooiv on the Btatute books and ranr- lIering honest measures in the fomh of legislation. “It opposes Alton Brooks Rirfcer Iiwaiise he is not a free agent; be- eiiiae he is but clay in the hands of the potter, and that potter Au- ButI ltelmout; because he is merely 'Be graphophoue of W all Street, iiUcl what little T hePeoplehave Riartl Hirough the machine has un- uiwiakably revealed the Voice of Iis Master; because he is to-day "K Iuc instrument which the ril!-ls hope to use in disciplining JUDOE PARKER IN !80S AND 1900, No one will ever hear from The Times a word of excuse or pallia­ tion of Judge Parker's two votes for W . J . Bryan. A ny reasoning by which a defense of his going with his party in 1896 and 1900 m ight be attempted, wonld pretty certainly be false and dangerous. From the point of view of sonnd- mouey Democrats Judge Parker was guilty either of a fault in po­ litical morals or of a serious error in judgement in the Bryan cam­ paigns. W hich ever it was he will in some measure suftei the penalty this year, since it cannot be doubt­ ed that his support of Btyan will alleniate some Democratic support from him.—N. Y . Times, July 2-1, 1904. THEY WILL STAY WHERE THEY A RF. These young men, who might have been Democrats if things had been radically different, and for whose conversion The Times is now so solicitous, have jnRt seen tbe Democratic party, “ dissevered, discordant, belligerent” for twelve years, fitly represented by a nation­ al convention which was afraid to make an boucst platform, which confessed no errors, offered no atonement and would, if possible, have withdrawn the candidate whose silence gave consent to the trick by which he was nominated. There is no inducement for voters to whom “ safe and sane” Demo cracy is nothing more than a feeble tradition to join a party which would never permit a President of its choosing to serve the country efficiently. The motives which have led them to support the Be* publican party siuce they came of age will control their actions this year. Parker clubs will appeal to them iu vain. They are where tbey'belong, aud they are going to stay' there.—N. Y. Tribune. the poor white man of course for the negro could not even vote if he paid his poll-tax. 124 white men in this county, are disfranchised this year by the party that prom ised never to cause any man to be denied the right to vote.” —Chat­ ham Citizen. Yes, the taking of the ballot from some of as good men as there are in the State—and these poor people have not as yet fully realized that their rights have gone. W ait until after 1908, when the yonng white man has to read and write any sec­ tion of the Constitution, and other thousands of white men will go down by reason of the Democratic machine method. YES. “ As we understand from an amended statement of its position, the Winston Sentinel does not com m it itself unreservsdly in favor of Raleigh as a convention city, thongh it seems to have an appre­ ciation ot some of the advantages of our town.” —Raleigh Post. Since Greensboro has gone dry no doubt the Sentinel, and others of the Glenn crowd are considering the advisability of changing base. They can’t ship it to Greeusboro by the car load unless the wets win at the next election—twro years hence. Raleigh has the lips on Greensboro at this time, and if present conditions remain un­ changed; she will no doubt win out in a walk. W e shall wait and see. ROOSEVELT’S ACCEPTANCE. IcwplrlAff. It is an insinuating, coherent-, cogent, pardonably proud speech. IIe strikes the keynote of the cam­ paign early, and soundB it with in­ spiring effect. For seven years he has been part of an administra­ tion of national affairs, and he is “ content to be judged by our rec­ ord of achievement.” The grand, alluring and convincing exhibit of the Repiibliwin party is that it has made the “ deed square with the w«rd.” H e can be forgiven aban donment of any hazy priuciplcs of propriety that might befog a can­ didate, who is at the same time the President of all the people, by icfeiriug to the uncertainty, the insincerity, but the final capitula­ tion “ confidentially” of the oppos- tion. It is impossible to disassoci­ ate the two facts of Mr. Roosevelt’s positiou. T hathew onldlaystress upon the unification of his party, as contrasted with the Democratic altitude of doubt and dismay ,must be conceded as within tbe strictest rules of etiquette. Current events might well have justified him in demanding, “ Under which King, BezouianI” —Pittsburg Dispatch. DISFRANCHISED. “ In 1900 the Democrats dis­ franchised the negro. They also passed a law requiring all voters if poll-tax age, to pay their poll tax before the fiiat day of May or thev would be denied the right to vote. Now remember the negro was out and could not vote. W ho were thev after when they enacted] The J»ecorfi the poll-tax requirement? M hy one year • READ THESE. Col. Bryan is still the skipper in the Parker Cheese. The dinner pail is never- rusty except during a Democratic ad­ ministration. The Democratic donkey will feel a little awkward weariug a blanket embroidered with a $ m ark. The Republican candidates are running on a gold platform; the Democratic on a gold telegram -The Democrats have one motto which always fits. It is: “ We are bound nowhere under full sale.” Every vote for Parker and Davis is an attem pt to change the hands on the dial and block the wheels that- move forward. Torn Taggart insists that be sees a Democratic victory ahead in In­ diana. Taggart should be treated for political strabismns. The Democratie party professes to be ardently in favor of educa­ tion, but it wants an expurgated edition of its party history. The Democrats are looking for a new party emblem, the only re­ quirement being that it be made large enough to conceal a knife. “ Tammany extends her hands to the Democratic condiilate,” says Bourke Cochran. Tammany al- way extends her hands palms up. Tlie Igorrotes at St. Louis were ordered to wear pants, but are not wearing them. Judge Parker or­ dered a gold plank inserted in the Democratic platform but it is not there. M r. Bryan say’s that Parker’s nomination “ nullified the party’s anti trust declarations.” Ifthere is any doubt about that, make an inquiry as to the name of the treas­ urer of the Democratic national committee. . The banks of Kansas now have $110,000,000 on deposit and there is hot a debased Democratic dollar in the amount. The Democratic platform adopted at St. Louis stands for a Bryan dollar and it can not be changed for a telegram. Tbe man who confesses that he has ju st recovered from an attack of insanity would hardly be placed in charge of the affairs of a big business concern. Yet, that is the confession the Democrats make while applying for the management of the largest bnsiraess concern in the world, «?»» . ¥ .# .

Louis, and St. Douis—During the past few weeks a great many men prominent In the various walks of life, but particu­ larly in political fields, have visited St. Louis and the Exposition. The com­ ments of some of them, showing a unanimous opinion of the surpassing greatness and beauty of the Fair, are given below: Governor Benjamin B. Odell says St. Louis is no wanner than New Ydtk City. In answer to a query as to what he thought of the Fair, the Governor 6&ld: “Two things strike me particularly concerning the St. Louis Exposition. In the first place the magnitude and the beauty of the whole enterprise im­ press themselves upon the visitor from the beginning of his stay. In the sec­ ond place, I find that St. Louis has Thai No OUier Exposition Ever Equalled Lhe One Attendance Is Both a Duty and a Privilege. House of Representatives, and tempor­ ary Chairman of the Democratic Na­ tional convention: “The Louisiana Tiirchase Exposition is, by far, the most wonderful thing of its kind and as an educator it cannot be excelled. No one should fail to see the Exposi­ tion, as it can not be appreciated by merely reading about it.” Governor Richard Yates, of Illinois: “The more I see of the Exposition the more I enjoy it. It is by all means the greatest AVorUVs Fair I have ever seen. As an opportunity for becoming acquainted witli the resources of the country, for acquiring a general knowl­ edge of every subject that I can think of. a visit to the Fair should not be missed. It is also an excellent means for having a good time. The amuse­ ment features are fine. St. Louis seems interests of all countries. A thorough examination of them will impart more knowledge than could be obtained in many months at a university or a col­ lege. The grounds, the buildings, the style of architecture, the landscape work, all combine to make the Expo­ sition the prettiest thing I have ever seen. The illumination at night is a wonderful sight. I hope that every one who has the opportunity will see* the Fair.” Mr. Chas. M. Keezel, of Harrison­ burg, Va., a delegate to the National Republican convention: “The Exposi­ tion surpasses the expectations of ev­ ery one. Oue can have a glorious time in St. Louis at most reasonable ex­ pense. Tiie Fair is beyond description.

Y.-Shortly after 3 o’clock In the afternoon Alton B. Parker ceased to be Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals. He arrived in this city at I o’clock to keep an engagement made with the Appeals Judges, and from 2 until i> o'clock was with them In the consultation room, where they passed upon sixty-six opinions, practically clearing the calendar of the court. The Judges present were Parker, O’Brien, Martin, Vann, Cullen and Werner. The absentees were Judges Gray, Bartlett and Haight, who are in Europe. At 3.05 the session was at ah end, and Judge Parker invited the corre­ spondents into the main chamber, in­ troducing them to the several Judges. Then, before a question could be asked as to his resignation, he turned, and with a wave of his hand said: “Gen-, tiemen, this room was mine.” In the next moment he called Buell C. An­ drews, one of the clerks, and handing him an envelope asked him to file it with the Secretary of State. To the correspondent a copy, which is as fol­ lows, was handed: “Hon. John F. O’Brien, Secretary of State:1S ir-I hereby respectfully resign my office as Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals of the State of New York, such TerSignation to take effect imme­ diately. ALTON B. PARKER. uRosemont, Esopus, N. Y., August 5, 1904.” The Democratic candidate declined to discuss his resignation, but several of his associates were anxious to be quoted in expressing their high regard for Mr. Parker. Judge Martin, who is to go off the bench this year because of age, summed up Judge Parker as a good fellow, a faithful friend and a fearless Judge. Judges O’Brien, Vann, Werner and CuIIen expressed the opin­ ion that the court would suffer a per­ sonal loss by the absence of Judge Parker. It became known after the session that Judge Parker had written his associates three weeks ago asking them to hold thi$ .afternoon’s meeting and wind up the business of the court, so that he might go move actively into politics. He departed for Esopus at 5.30 p. m. FESTIVAL HALL FROM THE E AST. Th wild' can lice fro; G mai: of i CflSP been badly misrepresented by accounts which say that her weather is unbear- I able. On the contrary, I find that St. ^ Louis is a comparatively cool place as Jktjompnred with New York City. I dare A fe -J from what I hear that St. Louis will be no wanner during July and August than New York or Chicago. The Fair is wonderful. I believe the people are not going to miss such a wonderful exhibition as is to be fouud In St. Louis. I think the attendance will be particularly large in the fall. I find that St. Louis is again misrep­ resented when it is said that the city Ifl not prepared to receive visitors to the Exposition. The city seems to be amply supplied with hotels which will satisfy people of every degree of wealth. Then there are the numerous beautiful homes for which St. Louis is noted, all of which seem to be thrown open to the visitor. I shall not go into detail in regard to my views of the different exhibits; suffice it to say that they are all wonderful in their com­ pleteness and in thei? beauty. The whole Fair is worthy of being seen by every New Yorker. A glorious time awaits those who see the Exposition.” Hon. John Sharp Williams, of Mis- BlCWippir Democratic leader in the well prepared to take care of her guests. The city and the management of the Exposition in particular are to be congratulated for what they have accomplished. The Fair is beautiful and should be seen by all.” Hoke Smith, of Atlanta, Ga., Secre­ tary of the Interior under President Cleveland: “I am highly pleased with the Exposition, nud believe it to be one of the triumphs of modern civiliza­ tion. The Fair is certainly better than all others I have seen, and it is indeed quite an education to see the Exposi­ tion. The kind of weather that St. Louis seems to have in store for her guests is quite an agreeable surprise. St. Louis is a beautiful city *and seems to be caring for her guests In a most admirable manner. The Fair is wonderful and should not be missed by any one who has the slightest op­ portunity of seeing it.” Judge D. T. Marvel, of Wilmington, Del.: “One of the best things, in my opinion, that can be said of the Fair is the fact that it is so arranged that al­ though hundreds of thousands may be In the grounds there is no crowding and no discomfort. The magnitude of the Fair is wonderful. The exhibits are beautiful; they renrcsent all the electric lights. To see the Fair at such a time is a sight not soon to be for­ gotten. No Virginian should miss this opportunity of seeing the Exposition— the grandest ever produced.” Mr. William Barnes, Jr., of Albany, N. Yn. Republican State Committeeman for the State of New York: “You can say for me that this Fair has sur­ passed my fondest expectations. It is wonderful. For magnitude, beauty, completeness and arrangement it could not be excelled. The architecture, massive and picturesque, of the differ­ ent buildings, is a treat for the ej*6 The Pike attractions have not been commented upon enough. Many of the attractions on the Pike are far more educational and instructive than many of the exhibits to be found in the Varied Industries building, for in­ stance. Others could not be equalled from a point of view of entertainment. St. Louis seems to be well prepared to handle crowds. The people of New York will miss an opportunity if they do not see this wonderful Fair. How­ ever, they are not going to miss it. They are already here in large num­ bers and will come in even greater numbers as the season' advances. No American should miss this Exposition.1 HINDUS AS FIGHTERS. Native-Born Fighters of India — Xheir H abits. A native officer of India writes of the native soldiers: “The Sikhs, or reformed Hindus, have all the quali­ ties of the best fighters, and the In­ dians as well as their fellow subjects In Europe have indeed reason to be proud of them. There are two other castes in Punjab also noted for their fightiug qualities, the Jats and the Dagras. “Another great fightiug race in Pun­ jab inhabiting the northwestern part are commonly known as the Pathans. They are now Mohammedans by faith. The Gurkhas of Nepal, the only inde­ pendent State In India, though gener­ ally below average height, have proved themselves the most iudomitable, brave and hardy hill fighters. Euro­ pean officers attached to Gurkhas reg­ iments love their men and are proud of them. Their free and easy man­ ners, absteminous habits, cheerful dis­ position, bravery in the field of war or of sport help to raise them in the estimation of all who come in contact with them. They are of Hindu ori­gin.” THEY WERE HAPPY. An Amnshig Conversation O verheard in a Fnblic Park. An amusing example of the blending of the sentimental and the practical was overheard at Olentangy Park the other day. Two people greatly inter­ ested in each other occupied the boat. Tlie man was leaning forward, with his heart" in his eyes, and was over­ heard by two people on the bank to say to the girl, who rowed: “Darling, you are the very sweetest person In the world, and I can never tell you—pull on the left Oari there, you’re going to run into the " bank. There isn’t any one in the whole world to compare with you, and never will be—the right oar, dear, pull hard, quick. You know as well as I do that we arc made for one another, and— quick, the right oar, or'you’ll run into that tree. You are positively the sweetest—both oars, and harden the left, darling.

'AN OLD SMOKER’S DREAM. Bow H s “Swore Off,” Xet Bnjoyed Ble W eed. “It has been eighteen years since I was told to break loose from tobacco, as over-indulgence in smoking was about to knock me out,” said S. J. Man- son, of Chicago. “From that day, though so dear a lover of the weed, I haven’t put a cigar or pipe between my lips, and yet, strange as It may sound, on numerous occasions I find myself puffing out huge clouds of smoke drawn from the most fragrant Havanas that ever were given to so lace mankind. These smokes, let it be understood, come in my dreams, but the enjoyment they confer is as solid and substantial as in the old days, when the indul gence was a reality. Curiously enough, too, thcvisions always present a group of friends. I can see them puffing away vigorously. I catch the aroma they blow forth; I hear their conversa­ tion as in the old days, and the whole atmosphere is of tobacco. Yet, despite these vivid pictures, awakening brings no desire to resume the ancient habit, and so I. expect to continue dreaming of smoking to the end of the chapter. J apan’s Prisoners. An important Itiissian provincial .journal, the SouthcriD Beview, severe­ ly criticises the Spanish Frince Don Jaime’s sweeping allegations of inhu­ manity on the part of the Japanese troops, and maintains that all Bussian and foreign correspondents are unani- moils in praising the . humane treat­ ment of the ^ussian prisoners by the Japanese.

Hartford, Conn.—Henry Osborne, a former Police Commissioner and one of the leading business men of this city, was murdered by his former body servant, Joseph Watson. The negro was found in hiding under a bed in the basement of the Osborne home, No. 23 Capitol avenue, after a close search for him had been made in all sections of the city. Outside the house at the time the murderer was found were gath­ ered fully 1000 persons, and as Watson, heavily manacled, was conducted down the steps to the police patrol wagon the air resounded with cries of “Kill him!” “Lynch him!” from the crowd which surged toward the officers as if it derired to take the prisoner. Philadelphia, P a —A. C. Hall, of 337 Broadway, New York City, with a par­ ty in an automobile, while en route on Old York road, was held up at the point of a pistol and robbed by a dar­ ing highwayman who rode a motor cycle. The highwayman secured $1000 in money and jewelry and made his escape, leaving no possible clew. In the automobile with Mr. Hall were Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Arthur L. Jackson and Mrs. Thomas C. Walton. They were on their way to the Del­ aware Water Gap. Mr. Hall and his party left Philadelphia in the after­ noon at 4.30 o’clock for the DeIauare Water Gap. They had just come up from Atlantic -City. Arriving at Wil­ low Grove the party took supper m the Casino at the park • there and stayed until 9 p. m. listening to the music of the band. Leaving Willow Grove In the big red double cylinder touring car the party started for Easton by way of Doylestown. All went well until a heavy grade four and a half miles from Willow Grove was reached. Mr. Hall slowed lip to take the steep hill. As he neared the cross roads at the summit he heard the toot of an auto horn and thought another machine was approaching. Then in the light of his own head­ light Mr. Hall discerned a motor cy­ clist fifty feet away. The cyclist rode up to the automobile and pulling out a pistol called:“Get out of that m achine quick —hurry now!” “Why, what do you mean!” gasped the astonished Mr. Hall.“I mean just what I say, and be quick,” replied the highwayman. At that Mr. Hall got down to the ground, assisting the frightened wom­ en to alight after him. The highway­ man then searched all four, taking Mr. Hall’s money and the jewels from the women.“I need your gasoline. My machine has run out.” The request was complied with un­ der the suasion of the revolvers, which he kept constantly aimed at the party. Connecting a rubber tube between the two tanks, the polite highwayman set the pumps working, and soon had the fuel transferred from the touring car to his own tank. This completely disabled the Halls’ vehicle, and ieft their party reduced to locomotion by foot power.His work completed, the motor foot­ pad bid the party all “Good night,” blew three toots on his bicycle horn and sped away iu the direction of Philadelphia. The victims, after a consultation, walked two miles to the toll gate and obtained a conveyance there to drive them to Doylestown, Pa. It was at that villagc*that the motor cycle hold­ up was first reported about miduight. LEAPED‘TO DEATH. ” SEVEN GIELS DROWNED. Shouting in Glee, They Waded Into Big Waves Raised by a Steamer.

Increase In 1903 19 Per Cent. Over 1902—Increase in Value 3S Per Cent. Washington, D. C.—Returns made to the United States Geological Survey show that, the United States lias again exceeded, all previous records iu the production of coal. Tlie forthcoming report on the country’s coal produc­ tion will show that the total output of the coal mines of this country In 1903 amounted to 359,421,311 short tons. This is an increase of 57,S30,S72 short tons, or 19 per cent, over the production of 1902, which amounted to 301,590,439 tons. The production of 1903 was nearly double that of 1S93, and more than three times the output of 1S83. The increase of production in 1903 over 1902 was equal to the total production of nil kinds of coal in 187S, only twenty-five years ago. The increase in the value of the product was still more noticeable. The value of the coal product at the mines in 1903 amounted to $500,190,733, which, compared with the output in 1902 ($367,032,009), shows an increase of $139,158,064, or nearly 3S per cent., almost exactly double that of the in­ crease of production.

The demonstration lasted for several minutes, during which the members of the committee were seated. Cheers broke out again and again, and several recognitions .were necessary before quiet was se­ cured. After the speaking a light, informal luucbeon ivas served in a big tent on the lawn to the notification committee, Indiana Republican Congressmen, members of the State Committee and the Indiana delegates to the recent Chicago convention.

TAR HEEL CROP CONDITIONS Conditions for the Past Week Favor- orable to Growth. V. S. Department of Agriculture, Climate and Crop Bulletin of the Weather Bureau, North Carolina Sec­ tion, for the week ending Monday, Aug. I. The climatic conditions, taken as a whole over the entire State, have been favorable; and this has been the first week for some time, when crop correspondents from all sections report ot an'ample supply of moisture. The temperature ranged about normal, al­ though there were a few cool days. The rains were general and occurred mostly on the 27th and 28th. A num­ ber ot correspondents, however, report of rains nearly every day. during the week. The northeastern, southcentral and a number of northwestern counties receives excessive ^ amounts, and the ground in each of these sections .is too wet for cultivation, and is also consi­ dered entirely too wet for a healthy growth of cotton. There has been some complaint in the northeastern and southcentral counties of shedding, due to too much rain, and in the latter sec­ tion, where the rains have been exces­ sive for some weeks past, the cotton is becoming weedy and in a few fields the- plant is growing too rapidly. In the other parts of the State it is growing satisfactorily, and, as a whole, promises exceptionally good results. It is bloom­ ing and fruiting freely and the squares are well formed and well distributed. The stands of corn are excellent, and the crops promises to be the best for years. Tobacco has made satisfactory growth during the week; but on an average, is considered only a fair crop; curing is becoming general in the eastern and a number of central coun­ ties. Threshing wheat still continues, but the season is nearing completion; the yield is everywhere satisfactory. Peas are growing well; and some fields are being cut for forage. In the ex­ treme western counties haying is in progress, with good results, although the weather has not been favorable for this week. Peanuts in Hertford coun­ty are slightly backward, and the stands are not satisfactory; no reports have been received from elsewhere Sweet potatoes, gardens, and ail minor crops are doing well. Watermelons are beginning to flood the market in the eastern section, and are beginning to ripen in the western counties; the quality is variable, but slightly infer­ ior. Apples continue to fall and will be a short crop; peaches wilt be more plentiful; grapes are beginning to ripen, and although there is consider­ able complaint of rotting, a fair crop is anticipated. Rains in inches for the week ending a. in., today: Goldsboro, .60; Greens­ boro, .44; Lumberton, .48; Newbem, !■06; Weldon, .54; Charlotte, 1.30; Hat- teras, 1.50; Wilmington, 1.00; Ashe­ ville, 1.90; Raleigh, .13; Lexington, '..40; Pantego, 2.43. Cotton Crop Bulletin. The following cotton region bulle­tin is sent out by W. F. Kiompp & Co.: 'The crop continues to make good progress; and reports from nearly all sections of the belt are satisfactory, ample rains having fallen and re­ lieved the droughty conditions. pre­vailing in districts of Texas and Louisiana during last week. There are some complaints of shed­ ding in Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, however, in the latter State the boll weevil is doing so far very little injury to the crop, and it still remains to be seen if they will do any CEtensive damage. ‘Picking has begun in manp por­ tions of the belt and becoming gener­al in South Texas, and considerable new cotton will come forward during August, provided weather conditions are favorable. 'On the whole the prospects at present are for a very large yield, but the crop has had to pass through a most critical period of deterioration during the next thirty days, and con­ ditions must be most carefully watch­ ed through that time, as the course of prices greatly depends on the pro­gress of the crop during August’’ It may be easy to create a substitute for God, but who shall find an equiva­ lent?

Howard, of Washington, is now behind prison bars in the custody of Sheriff Hodges in pursuance of a writ issued by Jus­ tice of the Peace E. S. Simmons, committing him to jail for contempt of court. The judgment of the court was that Howard pay a fine of ?10 and the cost of the action. This Howard refused to pay upon the ad­ vice of his counsel. Judge G. H. Brown has been appealed to by wire for a writ of habeas corpus, his hon­ or being in Chapel Hill. Justice Sim­ mons, in delivering his opinion, stated that the respondent, Howard, could not appeal from his court or his de­ cision. The sentiment of the com­ munity seems to be largely in sym­ pathy with Howard and his action in the premises. Wednesday about night, near the terra cotta works, three mile3 from Greensboro, Ernest Morrison shot and killed Henry Woods. The two ne­ groes were resting from the work of the day, where they were employed in building the new Etowah Cotton Fac­ tory.

At 1:30 o’clock Wednesday after­ noon freight trains N03. 71 and 02 collided oa che main line near the junction, north of Charlotte, batter­ ing up two engines, splintering sev­ eral cars, and injuring two men. The accident is attributed to the failure of one of the trains to take the sid­ ing. The freight trains were movins at a moderate rate of speed when the collision occurred. The heavy en­ gines crashed together with .a thud and the box cars, just behind them were smashed. Conductor C. H. Cly- boyle, of No. 71, was slightly injured about the face, • and W. M.

KILLED BY TROLLEY GAB Trolley Car Ran Over and Instantly Killed W. W. McCormack. Wilmington, Special.—Sunday morn­ ing, a few minutes past midnight, just across the Banks channel trestle, at Wrightsville Beach, suburban trolley car No. '31, the last'for the beach that night, ran over and instantly killed W. W. McCormack, a leading mer­ chant of Rowland, Robeson county, who arrived Saturday on a week-end ticket to spend Sunday at Wrights- viHe and to attend to some business in Wilmington. Mr. McCormack was stopping with Mr. A. Nathan, at the extreme southern end of the beach, but came up to the Seashore Hotel about a male this side, to be with some friends. He left them about 11 o’clock and presumably started to walk alone back to Mr. Nathan's, but instead of going south, ho went north, and did not discover his - mistake until he reached the trestle. There he stop­ ped and is supposed to have been about to retrace his steps when the car froni Wilmington came along. He was standing inside the curve and is supposed to have misjudged the speed of the car or have mistaken its course by reason of a sharp turn. At any rate the motorman, who had seen him standing by a pile of wood near the track, was dumbfounded when close upon him to see the stranger step or Call immediately in front of the car before it was scarcely possible to ap­ ply the brakes. Both McCormack’s legs were practically cut off, his neck was broken, bis shoulder and hip were crushed and he was otherwise severe­ ly injured about the head and body. The car was stopped within ten yards if ter having passed over the body, and an extra car was hurried to the city Eor the coroner and undertaker. Th© remains were brought to Woolvin's and prepared for burial: H ealth of the State. The July bulletin of the State Board of Health reports diphtheria in 11 counties, malarial fever in 16. It says influenza prevails in all parts of Macon county. In Forsyth an entire taniily of negroes have typhus fever, one of the worst and lowest types of that disease, which is now very rare in this country. Twenty years ago there was a case at Raleigh. The fliseaso was brought/from West Vir­ ginia. One- time it used to be known as jail fever. Smallpox is reported in 25 counties, Buncombe 7 cases, For­ syth 9, Bladen 12, Haywood 4, Jack­ son 30, Person 27, Robeson 25, Surry 13. Somo of the cases in Jackson are severe.

St. Petersburg, By Cable.—The fact that General Kuropatkin’s recent dis­ patches have not mentioned General Stackelberg or General Zaroubrieff, leads to the supposition here that their forces to the southward may have had their communications cut by General Nodsu’s army.

PETERSBURG General Belief, Borne out by the Lat­ est Dispatches, that the Situation 'Is Desperae—Japanese Concentrat­ ing all their Energies Toward the Reduction «>f the Fortress. A dispatch from St. PetersbWg at 5:15 Monday morning says: "Aside from the official reports of the Ryeshitelni affair and the flood of belated telegrams from Liao Yang and Aasbanshan, no actual news from the fronth as been received. There is a persistent rumor that Port Arthur has fallen, but it cannot be confirmed. There is no additional hews regard­ ing the whereabouts of the vessels of the Port Arthur squadron, save that contained in foreign telegrams. There is a general belief, which is borne but by the latest dispatches, that the situation at Port Arthur is a desperate one. Apparenly the Japan­ ese are concentrating ail their ener­ gies towards the reduction of the for­ tress in order to release heavy re- enforcements for the operations against General Kuropatkin, and it iB thought that until this has been ac­ complished the advance on Ltao Yhbg will be suspended. Tokio, By Cable.—Vice Admiral Kamimura encountered the Russian Vladivestock squadron at dawn Sun­ day, north of Tsu Island, in the Strait of Koprea, and attacked the enemy at once. The battle lasted for five hours and resulted in a complete Jap­ anese- victory. The Russian cruiser Rurik was sunk and the cruisers Ros- sia and Gromoboi fled to the north­ ward after having sustained serious damage. Admiral Kamimura cables the Navy !Department that the injuries inflicted upon his vessels were slight. The fate of the crew of the Rurilt is not known. It i3 presumed that many of them were killed or drowned. The strength of the fleet under Ad­ miral Kamimura is not known, but it is presumed that he had the Adsti- ma, Idsumo, Iwate, Takashiho and other light cruisers. Tokio is joyous over the news, as it gives Japan mastery of the sea and restores commerce. Flags are flying, lanterns are glim­ mering and cries of “Banzai!" are Tinging In the streets of Tokio in hon­ or of the victories gained at sea by Admiral Togo and Vice Admiral Kam- imura. Underneath the jollity of the popu­ lace lies a feeling of deep satisfac­ tion and gratification at the disposal of a desperately serious problem of the war. The Russian squadron which confronted Admiral Togo re­ fused battle. It was: stronger than Admiral Togo’s squadron in battle­ ships and armored cruisers, and had it elected to fight, the result might have altered the fortunes of war. The strength of the squadron which confronted Admiral Togo compelled him to draw vessels from the squad­ ron under Vice Admiral Kamimura, and this left the Japanese navy pow­ erless to operate against the Russian Vladivostock squadron and unable (o prevent the raids of these vessels. The raid conducted by the Vladi- vostock squadron in July was ex tremely expensive to the Japanese, and not only, was retaiiiatiOtt tempt­ ing, but it was demanded by commer­ cial Interests. The navy, however, grimly refused to make a diversion- and stuck to Fort. Arthttr. it waS confident that Iiie Ilarbor soSA would be untenable for the Russian war­ ships, that it would eventually get a fair fight in the open sea away from the Russian land batteries, and that the Japanese would win. These cal­ culations of the navy wore Correct, and the Russians, with the chances even, have been hopelessly defeated. Vice Admiral Kamimufh; after months of weafy and patient waiting, fldaily got his chance at dawn today oft Tsu Island. He sunk the Russian cruiser Rurik and sent the cruisers Gromoboi and Rossia fleeing back from the fight. Japanese guns dominate the dock­ yards at Port Arthur, nfld Iii view of this feet it would seem to be impos­ sible again to make seaworthy or fightable the Russian battleships which have returned to Port Arthur. It is probable that the Russian batue- ship Czarevitch will disarm at Tsing- chou. The best possible naval force the Russians can now concentrate at Vladivostock is four cruisers. In the fight of August 10 the squad­ ron, under Admiral Togo, was prac­ tically uninjured. The battleship Mi- kasha suffered the most, but she coil- tinties bit the flghtiBg line. The cruiiers Yakumo, Misshini and Khugo were hit, but repairs have al­ ready been made. Eleven wounded officers and 66 wounded men arrived at Sasebo Sunday. The steamer Gaelic, bound for Shanghai, at 10 o’clock yesterday morning, sighted a Russian cruiser, evidently the Novik, steering south­ east by east This course showed her to be heading for Van Diemen Strait. Van Diemen Strait is about 120 mlies south of Nagasaki and it would be presumed from the Novik’s going in this direction that she proposes t8 try and reach Vladivostock by the east coast of Japan. Hearing Given. Augusta, Ga., Special.—Bailey Mc- Gown, former assistant postmaster of Ohoopee, was given a preliminary hear­ ing Thursday afternoon before the de­ puty United States Clerk here for frau­ dulently misappropriating postoffice funds. McGown was left in charge of the office during the absence of Post­ master Bowman, and went on a spree. When the postmaster returned he re­ fused to turn over the keys, and it was found that part of the office funds were missing. McGown was bound over for trial. News By Wire. The Associated Press learns that Lewis Dixon, of New York, who has been in St. Petersburg for several days, came at the request of the Russian admirality, and that negotiations are progressing between the admirality and Mr. Nixon, but whether for the sale of ships, machinery or what, is not ascer­ tainable.

TAR HEEL CROP BULLETIN Entirely Too Much Rain In Many Sec­ tions; tJnitlii Slates Department of Agri­ culture, Climate and Crop Bulletin of the Weather Bureau, North Carolina Section, for the week ending Monday, August 8th: Continued cloudy and showery weather has prevailed dur­ ing the Wedk1 Whibii kept the tempera­ ture below Rie normal, and proved not very satisfactory lor tho principal crops. The soil has been kept ttfij wet for the bbmpl'etioi o! laying by cot- toii; Whicii should be in full progress, and a number of fields in the central part of the State are becoming very weedy. AU crops have made an ex­ cellent growth, and are looking heal­ thy and ,fresh; com in particular has made satisfactory advancement; and the stands are eveivwhefe considered the best for a dunlber of years. Cot- tQi is growing rapidly; but in most sections it is feared that the growth is too rapid and that too much of the strength is taken up by the weed. The squares and the fruit, however, are well grown, and are well distributed over the plant. The crop has suffered considerably from the continued wet spell; by being caused to shad; and this compiaint is becoming general In the eastern and central counties, and in a few scattered places in the west­ ern. A number of fields are showing indications. of rust. No serious dam­ age, however, has been reported from either of these causes. Threshing wheat and oats are nearing comple­ tion In the western part of the State, and the harvesting and housing of oats is in progress in the extreme west; but the ^ r k has been inter­ rupted seriously by the Wet Weather. The hay in the extreme western coun­ ties is excellent, and some has been saved in good condition, but this work also has been checked by the rains, and much hay has been spoiled. The pastures in that section are excellent. Tobacco curing is general now In the eastern and central counties; the leaves are curing well, and the crop may be considered a fair one. There is some complaint of rust and of leaves turning yellow. Irish and sweet potatoes are turning out well. The reports id regard to life peanut crop are more encouraging this week than heretofore; the majority bf the reports seem to indicate a fair crop. There are, however, a number of com­ plaints of poor and slightly backward stands. Gardens and cabbages are ex­ cellent, especially- in the western part of the State. Some blackberries have been picked In the western counties. Fears, peaches and grapes are a fair crop. Rain (in inches) for the week wad­ ing 8 a. m. today: Raleigh, 2.44; Hat- teras, 2.90; Charlotte, 4.70; Asheville, 1.80; JVilmington, 4.10; Goldsboro, 4.34; Greensboro, 2.46; Lumberton, 4.74; Newbern, 3.36; Weldon, 2.32.

Dispensary Election Illegal.- Elizabeth City, Special.—At a spec­ ial meeting of the board of aldermen, held Saturday night at 8 o’clock, it was ordered that'the chief of police call on each of the registrars of the city and take possession of the regis­ tration books, and that the election booked for Monday should be called off, on the grounds that it was ille­ gal. This was a great surprise to many. The question of the legality of the dispensary election has been the gossip ever since its inception, but it was not thought the election would be stopped at this time. There is no doubt that the temperance side would have polled a large majority of votes. News of the Day.

The North Carolina State Farmers Alliance, in session at Hillsboro last week, adopted a notable resolution re­ garding the disposition of Gfe Atlan­ tic & Sorth Sdrolifla Railroad: It is tb tiie bffebt thdt wHbreas it seems that the raiiway systems of the State will at iio cUstaiit.aiy BS in the hands of foreign corporations working to­ gether as a practical monopoly, it is the sense of the State Alliance that Governor Aycock should neither sell or lease the Atlantic & North Caroli­ na, but that it should be extended by the use of convict labor to Henderspn or Norlina, and ill that way it would becdme.a poweh ill the haiius Cl the corpdratlofl cbmfliissiofl tb protect the people bf the State from.,abuses In ex­ cessive rates;: etc;; ,charged by the for­ eign corporations and Beaufort would be developed into the great port that our forefathers contemplated. In. con­ clusion, the resolution has this signif­ icant paragraph: “We would not, however, shut our eyes to any abuses in the present management, but would urge a stricter supervision of its af­ fairs on the part of our people and the public officials.” The Alliance passed a resolution protesting against the em- pioyinefit bf- StfltS cSnvlfcts, Sa fflfms except for the raising of supplies for the convicts themselves, and insist­ ing that they be employed in the build­ ing of roads. This was adopted in the stead of one urged by the Edgecombe Alliance urging that the convicts be used in the manufacture of fertilizer. Rsgftrding the. stlpport.of.the Agricul­tural and Mechanical College, the Al­ liance resolved that the State board or agriculture be not in future requir­ ed to put up the $10,000 annually for the general running expenses, but that the college get its support from the State .and the national Agricultural find MSbhanicfli fiinds JUst as other Spiieges dd; Afld ifet the Agricultural Department funds be used in the ex­ tension of the Agricultural Depart­ ment after the running expenses are paid. Another resolution of import­ ance was to the effect that steps should be taken throughout the cot- ton-growing belt to assure the system­ atic marketing of the crop and en­dorsing the idea of having cotton warehouses in Which farmers can house their crops and draw out any money needed before the staple is sold. There .was also a resolution Commending th8 .Carflpaigd far better find Stronger pflbiic schools and es­ pecially the teaching of agriculture as ft reglilar course; add. calling on the farmers in every district .to see to it that this course is taught in every school. The State Alliance re-elected all former officers and elected Dr. R. H. Speight as a member of the exec­ utive committee, to succeed Dr. Pear­ son, whose term expired. T. B.

Salisbury, Special.—News reaches here of the drowning of nine men— eight of them negroes—at the Bar­ ringer gold mine, in Stanley county, Friday afternoon, as the result of a terrific downpour of rain, which rush­ ed into the shaft where they wree working. The full details of the acci­ dent cflnnot be given, because tele­ phone communication is ciit off and the place is not accessible by tele­graph. The mine is owned by the Whitney Reduction Company. Friday afternoon a terrific rain came up and the nine men working in the shaft attempted to come out.

St.- Petersburg, Russia.—A son to the Czar and heir to the Russian throne was bom at 12.30 o’clock In the, afternoon. The Empress and the child were reported doing well. The child wili bft Christened Alexis. An imperial salute of IOl guns was fired at Peterhof, in honor of the event, and was repeated from all the forts around St. Petersburg. The birth, so greatly wished for, oc­ curred, not in the.great palace at Pet­ erhof, but in the Alexandra villa, one of a group of four small palaces in a secluded corner of the Peterhof Park. In one of these buildings the Empress had been living for weeks. The other three are occupied by members of the imperial family, including the Em­ press’ mother,, the Czar’s two sisters, the Grand Duchesses Xenia and Olga; his brother, Grand Duke Micha-', and other relatives. The event was attended with all the ceremonial ordained by imperial tra­ dition. In accordance with the Rus­ sian law there were present, besides the Emperor, Baron Fredericks, the master of the ceremonies, and Prince Dolgoruky, the grand marshal of the" court. Dr. Rott, the Emperor’s family physician, and Dr. Hiruch, the sur­ geon, were in attendance. American to Build For Russia.

Says the veteran Tim Murnane: “It takes brains to play baseball, but uoue to nag an umpire.” t The right-handed pitche. in the American League are having all Hic best of their left-handed brethren. Let it be said in all fairness that there is no manager in Ibe professioi who is getting so much out of bis ma­ terial as Manager McGrawf of ihe Xciv York Nationals. As each league Is a partnership ia which the prosperity of each club h shared by the others, it is unfair fora club to keep on its salary list any play, er whom it cannot use on its team.

Managers Selee, of Chicago, and Me* Graw, of New York, have practically arrived at an agreement for taking their National League teams on a tour arouud the world at the close of the present championship season. The pitcher, always a dominant fig­ ure in the game, has been made so much more so by the foul-.sirike rule that even an all-around first-elas* team —like Pittsburg, for instance—has little chance for flag or place ayilbout a striug of star pitchers.

NEW POSTAL ORDER. Postmaster-General Makes Concession to Banking Interests. Washington, D. C.—Postmaster-Gen­ eral Payne lias amended the Postal Regulations, to take effect immediate­ ly, so as to permit for the first time the elimination of the "weight restric­ tions on first class mail matter ad­ dressed to all countries except Canada, Mcxico and Cuba, to Tvhicli the do­ mestic privileges already apply. This action is.the result of urgent representations, largely by banking’ in­ terests, *vvlio want to send securities abroad in this way. The present maxi­ mum weight restriction on first class matter is four pounds. The mail com­ ing from foreign countries is not lim­ ited, and it was felt by this Govern­ ment that the people of this country should have the same privilege. The weight restrictions already have been removed from- tho second class mall matter. The order does not affect the domes­ tic service, the maximum of four pounds weight remaining on such mail. Short Crop of Onions. The'prospectsfortheonion crop, as a whole, are rather poor. A report from a leading grower of Ohio estimates about one-fourth crop and mentions serious injury from hailstorm and ex­ cessive rein. Lake County, Ohio, seems to have suffered seriously from the work of the onion maggot, and only one-fourth to one-half crop is ex­ pected. Trouble from the maggot is also reported by leading growers in New York State and New England. The large fields near Oanastota, N. Y., have suffered greatly from this cause, and prominent growers of Rhode Isl- and and the Connectlctit Valley allege the crop will be « short one for the same reason. , • • : ;■>!'

Parker was formally notified at his home Kcre of his nomination by the Democratic Na­ tional Convention at St. Louis as the party’s candidate for President of the United States. The ceremony of notification was witnessed by many distinguished Democrats, besides the members of the notification committee, and by most of Mr. Parker’s near rel­ atives and a number of intimate friends. The exercises were somewhat marred by bad Weatheri blit the raid of the morning held up sufficiently to permit tiid delivery of the speeches upon the lawn, as planned. After Champ Clark, of Missouri, chairman of the notification commit­ tee, had made a speech, closing with the announcement of the committee's mission to Rosemount, Mr. Parker re­plied in a speech of some length, ac­ cepting the nomination and declaring his stand on the issues involved in the present canvass. Notification day arrived with a pouring rain, which set in just after daylight. Judge Parker did not let the rain interfere with his swim in the Budson at 6.30 o’clock in the morn» lug, bat after breakfast he appeared on the veranda Of his house and took a survey of the weather. The steamer Sagamore, bearing the notification committee of the Demo­ cratic National Convention, reached Eosemount wharf at 1.15. The trip of the committee from the New Xork City was attended with much discom­ fort to the passengers, due to contin­ uous rain. On the Sagamore’s arrival at Rose- mount wharf, the members of the no­ tification committee were formed in line on the landing, and marched up the hill path to Mr. Parker’s house. The guests of the committee and the other passengers disembarked five minutes later, and arrived Immedi­ ately after the reception of the notifi­ cation committee. Cord Meyer headetl the procession of the committee which was met by Mr. Parker at the srath entrance of his home. After all mem­ bers of the committee had been intro­duced they passed around the veranda to the grounds where the ceremonies .were held. Before the ceremonies were begun the Seventh Regiment Band, which was stationed on the grounds north of the house, played several selections. There was no wait In the formali­ties. As soon as the little parly reached the stand Mr. Clark began his address. He was enthusiastically cheered throughout, and at its conclusion was accorded an ovation, which was merged into the reception extended to Judge Parker. Other speeches were made, and then the candidate was presented with the formal letter of notification, signed by all the members of the committee. Handshaking followed, and the noti- ■fiers and their guests were taken across the river on the Sagamore to 'a special train awaiting them on the New York Central.

Whether fertile or poor, the soil Seems capable of producing weeds. This is due to the fact that as there are so many different kinds of weeds on a soil there will be found Bome kinds that are adapted to the Condi­ tions. Weeds are nature’s restorers of fertility. The poorest soil will in time become the location of some weeds that alone will grow upon it, and as these weeds cover the ground they assist in the storage in the soil of the nitrogen brought down by the rains, while min­ eral matter is brought from the sub­ soil to the surface. As the soil becomes richer iu plant food it gradually ap­ proaches a condition iu which it can also support other weeds, and they promptly appear to do their part. When weeds are not destroyed, they should be kept down, tor they are Iisnally Sndigenans to the soil, and will sometimes defy drouth, cold, heat and close cultivation, but they are nev­ ertheless man’s friend at times as well as his enemies. What is desirable with all weeds is to keep them under con­ trol, for should they assume the mas­ tery their eradication is slow and ex­ pensive work. Growing Kapc ,Profitably. Most of the failures in growing rape are due to the impression that the crop may be grown ou any soil one happens to have vacant. As a matter of fact, rape requires a rich soil; hence one should be well posted on the nses of the crop before giving up valuable soil to it AVhile rape makes its best growth when the seed is sown early in the season, after the soil has become warm, there is yet time to sow it and ;et good returns in any section where eight to ten weeks of good growing weather may be depended upon. Clay loam rich in vegetable matter is the ideal soil for rape, and it the field is divided by a fence so that a portion of it may be pastured at a time, its feeding value will be greater. Tlie best way to pasture rape for swine or sheep is to turn the animals on to it for but a small portion of the day, letting them have the grass pasture the rest of the tinie. While fowls may use the rape field as a run, we have had the best success cutting the rape and feeding it to them on the grass range or in the poultry yards. Rape is one of the crops it will pay to ex­ periment with, at least to the extent of a small area.—Indianapolis News. make out Invoices of goods shipped, t& keep accounts, to figure fat due patrons from weight of milk and test, to test milk, cream, etc., with the various testers, and, above all, to keep things In and around the factory in a most cleanly and orderly manner.—Profes­ sor Dean, in Farm and Live Stock Journal. . > The Care of Trees. It is not reasonable to expect that every, tree planter will have observed proper precautions In planting and caring for his ornamental and fruit trees. It therefore frequently happens that the removal of large branches becomes ft necessity. The question arises, bow shall this be accomplished with as little injury td the plant as possible; In other words, how shall tlig cut be made? Those familiar with the propagation of plants from cuttings, as well as those who have observed the results of pruning trees, will have noticed that when branches are cut at a certain dis­ tance from their origin, the stub which is left invariably dies, decay follows, finally the rotten stub breaks off close to its origin, and a cnp, which catches the rain, is left. This is also an at­ tractive spot to many birds and rodents which are fond of - nesting in such T ig an d P o u ltry Cures. Kot Ioug ago vre lost a number of fine liogs from cliolera. An old friend came to us just after tbe plague Jiad run its course, and when lie heard of our loss, he told us how he had man* aged for years to keep his swine iu perfect health, even when cholera was an epidemic iu his neighborhood. AU through the year he once or twice a week would feed to each Iiog an ear of com which had been smeared with freshly run pine tar. At first they would not eat it readily, but soon ac­ quired a likiug for the taste. It is such a simple ounce of prevention that surely it will be worth while to try it. In the same connection, I will tell what I use for sorehead among my fowls, with the result that I have never lost a single one, nor had it to spread among my flocks. It is simply to grease the afflicted ones with an ointment made by stirring vaseline thick with sulphur. Lately I happened not to have any suJplnii* in the house, when a pullet was brought in with her head in such a condition that her eyes were almost closed. I had her well rubbed over the sores with mercurial ointment, and then confined her. The application was repeated once a day or two later, and in less than a week she was turned out perfectly well.-rMrs, Henry Wight, In The Epitomist, The Dairyman and tlio Cow. The world to-day needs thinkers as well as workers. Some are content to work, and others to do the think­ ing for them. Some think and compel others to do the work. The dairy in­ dustry, especially, needs such persons. He or she who deals with animal life or animal products needs a more liberal education and more skill than the per­ son who deals with vegetable life and products. The lower form of life * is utilized to sustain the higher.. The dairy cow is a highly organized form of animal life. She is also a form of artificial animal life, made so by man, and iu consequence, needs a superior person to atteud her and supply her wants. Raturol conditions ' are no longer consistent with her acquired habits. The herdsman who exposes his charge to snow, sleet and cold rain, hot j sun, flies, scanty food, or gives her cruel treatment, fails in the essentials of successful treatment of the dairy cow. In the handling of cow products great strides haye been made in recent years. The setting of milk in crocks has been 'superseded by the modern creamer, and tills again by tbe cream separator. Each step in advance re­ quires more skill and forethought, but If they are lacking, the modern meth­ ods become a hindrance rather than help to the dairy. The markets of the world are more exacting each year. Kone but goods of the finest quality will pay for "ex­ porting, and the home markets {ire each year more critical. More intelli­ gent and more skillful makers of dairy goods are asked for now than formerly. In addition to being able to m*ke good butter and cheese, men who factories are supposed to be able to Fig. I—Progress of decay due to im­proper pruning, a, dead stub; b, decay of heart. places. They assist the natural work by escavating, and thus accelerate the work which the elements have begun. The result is that the branch which was removed for the purpose of length­ ening the life of the tree and to im­ prove its appearance has in reality been the direct cause of its parly, de­ struction. The decay in the stub which breaks off near its origin does not stop at that point, but the factors which have been the cause of its decay and death con­ tinue their work upon the heartwood of the plant until the hollow trunk of the tree only remains. On the other hand, if the branch is removed at an* other point, the wound is rapidly cov­ ered by new growth, and in the course of two or three seasons it is practically impossible to determine where the branch formerly appeared. These re­ sults, which are so important to the life of the tree and to the success of the plantation, whether ornamental or economic, are well understood by all plant physiologists. The stub which is left when the branch is removed, if cut off at some distance above its ori* gin, invariably decays and leaves a hollow branch, while the branch which is cut off close to its origin almost in* variably heals quickly, the new growth covering the wound. The accompauy* ing illustrations are taken from actual specimens. In order to facilitate the healing pro* cess in the plant, all wounds which at*/ made should be left smooth; that iSi if it* is necessary to. use a saw in re­ moving a large branch, the cut surface should be left smooth and clean, partic* . f < 't y Miss M.

The saw. should be sharp aud should, leave it dean cut, and this in turn should he mado smoother by tbe use of the prun­ ing knife or sharp chisel, as the healing process starts quicker and progresses more rapidly wheu this precaution is observed than when a rough and jagged surface is left. It frequently happens that, in order to obtain the best results in removing large branches, two cuts should be made— that is, the branch should be sawed off eighteen inches or two feet from its origin, in order to prevent splitting down and tearing off a considerable portion of the bark. After the weight of the branch has been lessened by cutting away the main part, a second cut can be ma.de and stub held in po­ sition until the cut is completed, thus preventing the splitting down and tearing of the bark which is likely to resuit from the careless removal of large branches. Farm Notes* The growing stock are carrying your poeketbook. Watch them. Last year yon said you would have good pasture for all your stock. Have you? If yon are raising calves (and you ought to be) the dry lot is not the place for them. Are the pigs in the clover? They ought to be some place where they can be happy. Is that pig in the pen near the kitchen? Somebody is losing some­ thing if it isn’t. In all your plans for your young stock, don’t be persuaded to favor any­ thing but a thoroughbred male. Kow is the time when it’s profit or loss on the lambs. Don’t forget to see that they are doing their best. How is the rape doing as a pasture for hogs and sheep? Didn’t you try it? Well, you missed another chance. Stock water is just about as import­ ant as stock feed. This has been quite a wet season over a very large area, and stock water is not much of a ques­ tion yet, but be ready for August and perhaps September. ByT-EamiltonAyesslA1IIalM.]).

Yours very sincerely, Alton B. Parker. Sept. 2 2 ,1S97. It is understood also that Parker voted for Bryan again in 1900. In fact he said nothing to indicate that he was not still faithful to Bryan aud silver till he sent his telegram to the St. Louis conven­ tion, after lie had been nominated. If Mr. Goodyear’s position is man­ ly and straightforward before he received a nomination, if he was right from a Democratic point of view in bolting Biyan in 1896 and 1900, what is to be said of Parker’s acts in those years and of his con­ duct this year ?

DO YOU W A ST A CBAKOE I Democratic campaign managers and orators are trying to convince the voters of the nation that the time is ripe for a “ change.” Every petty' grievance against the party iu power is'magnified and every' possible bugaboo concerning future developments is raised and waived iu an effort to make the people be­ lieve that tlieir interests and their welfare will be best subserved by abandoning Republican policies and adopting Democratic. The Democratic party completed a four years’ term of power in 1896 and it may interest the voter, who is thinking the country needs a “ change,” to contrast the bnsiuess of the untioa in 1896 and that ol 1901. Thefigures quoted are for the fiscal year, ending June 60th, 1904. Merchandise exports in 1896 weie 8882.000,000 as against §1,- 460,000,000 iu 1904. Do you want a chauge ? The favorable balance of trade in Democratic 1S96 was §102,000,000 as against §170,000.000 in Repub­ lican 1904. Do you want a change? We imported $33,000,000 in gold in 1S96 as compared with $99,000, 000 in 1904, and we exported$11.2,- 000,000 in 1896 as against 881,000,- 000 iu 1904. Do you want a change ? Our total foreign commerce in Democratic 1906 was §1,661,000,- 000 as against §2,451,000,000 in Republican 1904. Do you want a change? The bank deposits in December, 1896, amounted to 81,945.000,000 as compared with $9,530,000,000 READ THESE. The Democrats are clamoring for •‘a change.” They ask the voters to change a certainty tor for an un­ certainty. Mr. Bryan does not believe that the country is ready for a change, but he is already planning to offer one in 1908. It is going to require something more than specious pleading to in­ duce the American voter to take a leap in the dark in November.' It m ust be remembered that Judge Parker'approved the Nev York Democratic platform which did not mention the gold standard. The Democratic party was only' eight years behind on the money question • It may be wise on the tariff in another eight or twelve years. If you believe the Democrats are in favor of the gold standard, call a roll of the Democratic State Cm- Yentions that have so declared this year. The President has shown that he is for the right. It makes no dif­ ference to him on whose side is the right. And the American people hate a coward. Col. Bryan says he will support Judge Parker after September 30. He figures, probably, that it will take him that long to get a proper edge on his hatchet. Democratic managers express the greatest confidence of the result of the coming elections. Democratic hopes always blossom until the first light frost in November. Chairman Taggart is filliug places on his executive committee with the old line Democrats. He isapparently guided more by Judge Parker’s telegram than by the dec­ larations of his party's platform. A man who is not well-known hiinseif must be judged by his ad risers. If Judge Parker is elected Piesident, we must infer that'his associates and advisers will be David B. Hill and Augnst Belmont. It is a little strange that Mr. L it­ tleton, who placed Judge Parker in nomination at St. Louis in a speech whicii was submitted in advance, to Judge Parker, had- nothing to say about his candidate’s financial views. It would have been a cour­ ageous thing to have announced them at that time, but it would have undoubtedly resulted'in the nomination ot another candidate. December, 1903. chauge.

It is pleasant to l&arn that the China­ men are discarding their queues and the barbers in some cities are doing a Spod business removing them. It is a singular fact that the queue, once -a symbol of salvation, became step bv step a mark of dignity and patriotism. But there, has arisen & society, known £8 the Bow Wong Woy, which has be­come very active in instructing the Chinese in their own history, and the removal of thousands of queues is the result. The wearing of queues -has oiten been cited as an evidence that the Chinese refuse to become American­ ized. But' when barbered in American style they look very much, like other men.

The WeSther Bureau of the Depart­ ment of Agriculture Issues the follow, tag bulletin for the weeli ending a u„, 15th: There Is a general complaint in All sections of the State that during tha IiSst weeks there has been te® much rainfall and not enough sunshine. Rains fell nearly every day during this past -week; In moderate amounts in the western half of the State, and In heavy downpours in most places in the east­ ern half, especially on tfer 9th, Uth ana l2tfii These weather conditions prov­ ed damaging to all growing crojjs, ants have ssrfotfsiy delayed important uirm work. Preparations haTe been mada for sowing turnips 6«d rutabagas; for plowing wheat fields, and for planting the second crop of irish potatoes, but on/account of the wet condition CS the! soil very little has been accomplishc-il. In the extreme western couo5tes the: CHtting of buckwheat, oats and hsr has been retarded on account of too fre­ quent rrains; and considerable of cut oats are spoiling in the shocks. Corn has Suffered slightly, but the damage is confined entiraly to lowlands, where some of it is turning yellow. On up­ lands the stands are excellent and the outlook tor a good crop is encourag­ ing. Sweet potatoes are also turning: yellow In a number of fields in the central districts; but continue to da well elsewhere. The tobacco crop is below the average; curing is in full progress, and the leaves are said to be curing nicely. Peanuts are not doing well in Hertford county; but the re­ ports from the adjoining counties are more encouraging. Cotton has suffered from the wet spell more than any other growing cror-; it is shedding in all sec­ tions of the' State and the damage is quite serious in low places nild on light sandy soil. The weed is grouping too rapidly; while the lruit is not develop­ ing in proportion to the size of the plant. There are a number of indk‘3- tioiiS of black rust. It is safe to say that this foss been the most unfavorable week for some time, and unless iair weather sets in there will be decided change in the prospects for a cotton crop. The pasture laud in the westerns counties is excellent, and the stock is improving. Grapes are ripening and will be a fair crop; peaches are rottlng- Rains (In inches) for the week end­ ing 8 a. m. today: -.

Wilmington, Special.—Reports from Castle Haynss, this county, Sndicate that R. H. Butler, a well-known travel­ ing salesman for Butler Bros., tobac­ conists of Reidsville1 was drffwied im Northeast river, last week. Sunda? af­ ternoon, a small boy playing on the river bank near the railroad bridge at Castle Haynes saw a drowned horse lodged against the piers of the iron structure and attached to a top buggy, which was overturned. The boy noti­ fied residents of the neighborhood, who- went down on a flat, cut the liorse adrift and brought the buggy ashore. Fastened under the seat was a travel­ ing bag, containing tobacco samples, articles of clothing, neatly packed and letters and papers identifying the last occupant of the vehicle. The horse was swollen, indicating that he had been in the water for several days. It is sup­ posed that the traveling man was on his way from Burgaw to WilmlEgtour having been seen at Burgaw last Wcskr and that, being unacquainted with tkes country, he attempted to ford the river; which is very deep at that point, in­ stead of taking the ferry. No trace of the body has been found, as everything in the buggy not fastened was washed away. Mr. J. T. Larkins, of Castle Haynes, telegraphed the traveling man’s brothers at Reidsville, but thej’’ know nothing of his whereabouts and asked that a search be made lor Ms body.

Sud­ denly, and without the slightest pre­ monition, an arm seemed to shoot to the ground like a gigantic cable, twist­ ing nnd tiirning. The end touched the .ground at Nineteenth aud Angelrodt streets, and, with incredible swiftness and force, swept east along Atiaelroflt street for ten blocks, then tiiMed hortll nnd swept three blocks along Broad1 WalV, Viiicii it jumped eight blocks northeast to Bremen stree.t and the river, where considerable property along the river front was destroyed. The tornado then jumped to about the middle of the rivet and struck a ferry­ boat, which was turned and tossed about, but was not sunk. Leaving the ferryboat, the tornado bnce more jumped, and struck the Illinois shore hear Mhdishn, where it demolished Several buildings, tho Leiderkranz Hall, and a portion of the JIadisott Cooper Works, killing John Ellington, A Broadway trolley eat1 eoiltiiining eleven-passengers was suddenly buried under six telegraph poles which crashed into the top and wrecked the ear.

Brobahly the heaviest loss suffered by a single con­ cern was at the Niedriiigliaus rolling mill. The plant covers two squares in extent. The big smokestack was blown down and half the plant was demol­ ished, entailing an estimated damage of $25,000. Six employes were injured iu this plant. Not the slightest damage was caused at the World's Fair grounds, which are more than five miles from the scene of the tornado, and the wind was not felt there. Venice, 111.—The tornado that swept across the river from North St. Louis killed Mrs. Margaret Baal, injured ten other persons and caused considerable damage to property. The tornado was of short duration, but was remarkably destructive in force. Trees, were blown down and a number of houses were unroofed. . Later a pouriug rainstorm deluged Venice and added greatly to the dam­age already wrought. SOLDIER KILLED IN A RIOT. Begular Troops Attack Militia’s Pro­ vost Guard.

The negroes had been sen­ tenced to be hanged before the mob charged the Court House, overcame a guard bf ittiiitift With bftydnbts fixed, broke, lihwii the doorft td the Belis and pulled forth the two cowering wretches, crying piteously for mercy. Dragged to a spot that was quickly prepared’fdr the execution, Reed and Cato were soaked in ten gallons of kerosene and set afire. Fagots crackled around their legs, and shriek­ing oatiiS ftnd prayers. Hiternateiilfi the twd inefi went tb their death, Tlleir bodies were burned to ashes, and when the mob saw that its work had been completed the last smoldering stick was kicked back, and tlie ashes of the negroeS were scattered by rakes. There was a portent of evil doings in the silence that rested over Statesboro in the morning. Not a word of violence was heard iu the streets, the crowd that had hung around the Court House, whispering vengeance- at former ses­ sions of the trial waft Btrftngeiy miss­ ing, Oniy a few men were to. be Seefi near the Court Housei ftnd Ihesei. stretching In .ft thin line around the building; convinBed the authorities that watch was kept against the prisoners being spirited away. About 11 o’clock Reed and Cato were sentenced to be hanged on September 9. The sentences were pronounced in the presence of only a few spectators, who the moment the last word Was spoken Slipped out of the court room ftnd ran td a barn far down the street, where fit' has been learned the mob met to await the mo­ ment for action, At a meeting the night before every plan was made for the lynching, and the minute the men ran into the barn from the court room the mob rushed into the street on the way to the Court House, Four militiamen were on the steps of the Court House, and these tried to stem the progress of the crowd. The soldiers were stationed on the two stairways leading to the second floor, where the prisoners were locked up and two lines were drawn across tho two wide inner entrances to the building. A few men were at the top of the stairways, and outside the cells of the negroes stood the regular jail guards. Standing with his head uncovered the Rev. Mr. Hodges, brother of the murdered man, asked the lynchers to await the sure destiny of the law’. When the last militiaman had been overcome the foremost in the crowd hurled themselves against a heavy wooden door and smashed it into pieces. Then on into the ceiiroom went the mob, brushing aside the guards and quickly opening the doors of the cells In which Reed and Cato were confined. Reed was taken down one stairway, with a rope about his neck, and Cato down the other, both pleading for their lives. By this time the- crowd numbered 500 persons. The doomed men were dragged, the crowd shouting and cheer­ ing, toward the Hodges home, where the five members of the family had been murdered and burned. The crowd moved across a field to a strip of woodland. Several men climbed trees and called for ropes. Burn them!” “Burn them!” shouted the crowd. A member of the mob made a speech, recounting the horrors of the crime. This iuflamed the crowd to the burning pitch. The men were chained with their backs to a stump twelve feet high. Then a wagon load of pine wood was hauled to tho place and piled around the men and ten gallons of ker­ osene was thrown over them. A photographer was present, and the crowd was driven back that he might je t several views of the men bound to the stake and ready for the burning. The match was then applied, the two victims dying in agony. Clergyman Dies From Fall. Falling from the second-story win­ dow of his house, the Rev.

Reports to American Agriculturist on Condition For August I. New'York City.—Comparatively lit­ tle threshing had been done this year on August I, says American Agricul­ turist of August 20 in its crop reports, hut that accomplished is sufficient to make it apparent that the final rate of winter wheat yield will be even lower than the figures of condition. 75.2 have been taken as indicating, but pre­ liminary returns of threshing show an average rate of yield of 11.7 bushels to the acre. Spring wheat was reported lower by seven points than on July I, placed at 84.8. It declined very largely in Nebraska and South Dakota, where harvest was well under way at date of returns, the damage having been caused by the most severe visitation of rust these States have experienced for many years. The weather during July was not fa­ vorable for the best development of corn, and as a result the crop already deficient in promise shows a slight lowering of condition. The month closed with need for additional rainfall through important portions of Ohio, middle Mississippi and lower Missouri valleys. -Takipg the crop as a whole, it may be said that it is promising in every respect, except for the fact that it is unusually late, perhaps by. as much as two weeks. The average con­ dition for August, which is consoli­ dated from local reports of county cor­ respondents, was 87 as against 80 a month earlier. . The present average compares with 79.1 on August I, 1003, and *88.0 at the same date in 3902. Manufactures Improving.

The cloth market at Fall River, Mass., continues absolutely flat, and the sales were not in excess of 80,003 pieces. Some * brokers say that is a high estimate. A more careful caqvass has been made of the stock of goods on h a n d there, and it is stated on reliable authority-that it approaches very close to 2,000,000 pieces, instead of 1,500,000. as commonly believejl. The curtail­ ment caused by the strike reduces the production about 300,000 pieces of goods of all kinds cTary-sneek. ,X .
