The men who are now being given to understand that they are not wanted in the Democratic party of North Carolina unless thej keep their mouths shut and tag along at tlie tail of the precession may be needed later.— Charlotte Observer. The above w;as elipp.ee!. from the Observer of the 23rd. It contains a veiled threat. " This -is not the first time (he Bosses have cracked their whips and the opposition had to walk up and take their medi­ cine. The Democratic meeting at Raleigh last Tuesday uight showed who were the high cockalorums in the party! The triumvirate con- Ii party bosses, are sists of Mr.Simmons, JosephusDan- .aw to whip there- ielsaudRev. Josiah WilliamB.dley. ' If you don't follow their lead you aieirregnlar and are not of the pure in heart. . Bowinj the, neclc to ihe yoke is something else when ihe whip is cracked by the bosses. Jn the fiist place Mr. Simmons would not snb- mit any question to the regular Ex­ ecutive Committee, but ail threeof the committees combined. VVe have au idea that a poll of the E x­ ecutive Committee had been taken and all was not lovely for the tri­ umvirate aud something had to be “ did” and Mr. Simmons and Jo­ sephs had their lieutenants ready to force their wishes, and it was done. The hand has written on the wall and a day of reckoning will come. The great masses of ITcrth Carolina when once aroused move all before it. Free government,—local self- government is in the balance, and unless the people rise to the occa­ sion, they will soon be little better than the serfs of Bnssia-. The peo­ ple shoujd and must rule, if a free government is perpetuated.

That’s cheek, coming from an im­ ported South Carolina editor, ad­ dressed to Jfartli Caroliuians. It sounds'a little impei-tineut to men born and reared in the old -NrOith State; but as Ubrtli Carolina, Dem­ ocrats are fast drifting toward -TiU- nritiisui, we presume they need the product of South Carolina to kick them out, when they are loath to follow where the imported article leads. The “ Get Out” invitation has been accepted by many, and if thej Journal's editor will wait patiently Dutil 1006 he will see processions of them marching in the ranks of the Repnblican party.

Immigritt ion. The legislature wants a State Im­ migration Commissiooer at a salary of $1,610 a year with a clerk at 91,OOU a year. Forwhatt Isthere any man outside of tlie State with mopey to invest with little enough sense to come here to invest it. if he keeps up with the workings of that crowd tb.at’.s doing the law­ making act.—Peoples Paper. As long as the peopje elect j ust such legislatures as the present body it will be more than throwing away money trying to induce sen­ sible people to come to North Car- elina to live and invest their mo­ ney. Better pass good and just laws and try to induce the people already here to remain’in the State and help build it up. Away Vith your Immigration Commission; we don’t need it-. *_______ -IguoKUioe. Mr, Graham, our county Bepre- sentative, says he voted against the bill to do away with the manufac­ ture of whiskey in the mythical town of Advance for the reason that it war class legislation. AsthebiU to;alllow manufacture of liquor was rank class Iegislati^n1Mr. Graham’s explanation is as clear as mud. Graham Tribune. Men who go to the legislature should spend a Httle time in in­ forming themselves. Advancewas incorparated in 1393—12 years ago. The act incorporating Axlvaucebad no such motive behind it, and we are surprised nt ihe ignorance dis­ played by members ot the legisla­ ture and editors as well. 'How a Democrat See? It. ~ . Mr. Editor: I wish to endorse what yon said on the need of two strong political parties. Our lib­ erties are as much endangered by one party rule as by one man rule. The time is upon 11s now in Uorth Carolina when we need a strong party in opposition to the present democratic party. This, is a fact, that is being clearly demonstrated by our .present legislature at the very beginning of its session The raising of the Governor’s and Jud­ ges’ salaries was not even hinted at during the campaign. The Jud­ ges, poor things caunot live ou $2,- 500 a year. Gness they had better resign and hunt another job before they starve. But then I guess their meat and bread cost th-?m more per pound than it does the eomnioii man. And then, Iguess the Gov­ ernor is to be compensated in this way for carrying and exhibiting that free silver letcer from Grover Cleveland in 1902. Well, the faith­ ful are always rewarded in some way or other. But where do the good people come in? Wait and see if you caunot answer this ques­ tion .about taxpaying time. Tnxrs are gradually growing higher. Ifqt on the hundred, of course, but by raising the valuation of property. Just let the legislature keep ou as it has started and something will drop about 1906. A D is g u s t e d D e m o c r a t, in the Tiines-Mercuiy. * * * -There isn’t a bit of doubt a'aout i t. Senator Simmops directs all tlie State legislation of a public char­ acter. Aud who is Simmons?—a half a dozen years ago a briefless shister lawyer and the man who beat one of tlie best men in the Democratic party, Gen. Carr, at the primaries for the nomination of U . S. Senator, by virtue of his po­ sition as chairman of the StateEx-' ecntive committee—the man who put the screws to every county chairman in the State and forced bis nomination. A trickster who resorted to all the black arts knowy t<> such politicians to gain his per­ sonal ends, and he is playing the same old game with his same old puppets. *** Mr. Simmons seems not to be sat­ isfied with lieiugchairman ot Dem­ ocratic S.ate Executive Committee ami one of the United States Sena­ tors. He aspires to still another position,.‘•DictaJtor.’' His move on the night of the 21st shows that all opposition to the Dictator nuist be pushed aside, regardless ot ey-eum stances. It’s to be seen how many subservients there are in the oppo­ sition.^Tiie band played and the procession moved on. Hepublicaus can ,look on and smile and smile again. Tbe Republicans had so many “ delightful” things in tbeir hand­ book of the last campaign that the speakers had to shut their eyes and go it blind; but they were not a ‘•patciier.” to what the hand-book will contain for the next husficg, and if we can’t sweep the platter it will be because the public speak­ ers Iail to measure up to high wa- er mark. It seems to have been a regular mob legislature last Friday, from Col1 Old’s description of it. It was a sow-paw-prohibition day, and sow-paw lost in every round aud there were half a dozen rounds; bat Democrats fought Democrats and fought desperately, but Boss Simmons runs that show justlike the fellow does his Punch and Judy Showr—Simmons pulls the string and the music begins. *** The hottest scramble for office just now is for the position of Im­ migration Commissioner and ne^t to that comes the p»sition of State Purchasing Agent., anil the bills are likely to become laws for they have the approving seal of the Big. Boss aud L ttle Josephus, who says ■‘Me Too.” Kstablish these two offices and grafting will be the scan- dle of the day. Glenn Williams, it is said will move his distillery to Virginia in case the Ward bill becomes a law. This distillery was built by Mr. Williams’ grandfather over a hun­ dred years ago and is valued at $100,OOOaud thele gislature assume.s the right to destroy this man’s prop­ erty or drive him ont of the State, pauperise him and his people.

The dis­ tiller can’t see any difference. t t The Democrats broke away from Cleveland when he was President, aud it looks now as if Gov. Glenn was about to tumble, into the same boat, from the way the radical-fa­ natical wing of the party is cussing him. Yes, itlooksas if Gov. Bob’s fate would be like unto Grover’s. Showing up the powers thiat be in a bad light cuts no fignie with the bosses. The w'hip lias been cracked aud the boses are holding the liues. tt The editor of the Charlotte Ob­ server must be like Creorge D. Pren­ tice, the one time great ■ editor of-the Lomsville (K y.) Journal, said he could do, that is, damn a man in three lines.” Caldwell damns the legislature usually in six lines, and it is away down deep; but the Kaleigh Poat has to have more space to do the job up brown.

From th e boy’s story it has been gathered th a t he w as standing three feet from his sister w hen be fired. Experim ents have shown- th at he had ju s t strength enough to level th e w eapon for an instant. T he baby died instantly. T he bullet w ent through the brain and w as taken from the scalp a t th e back of th e head. It is reasoned by th e detectives th a t th e boy m ust have pointed th e w eapon straight a t his victim , as the course of the h u le t is in a straight line through the head. T he boy w as taken to Police H ead­ quarters, bu t all questioning w as use­ less.

The little fellow w as so totally unaw are of the nature of th e crim e th a t the police say noth­ ing can be done. In any event, no .action w ould be taken, as R udyard is under th e age for a legal charge. The police, how ever, are unable to reconcile the boy’s pre­ cociousness in opening the tru n k and loading the revolver w ith his apparent ignorance of any w rongdoing.

T he suit will be brought on the relation of 0 . C, ColemaiI1 A ttofriey-General of the State. T he proposed suit is the result of a conference betw een Mr. Coleman and F rank S. M onnett. form er A ttor­ ney-General of Ohio. It will be based on the fact th a t th e Standard Oil Com­ pany lias no authority from the State C harter Eoard to do business in K an­ sas. The S tandard m aintains sale sta­ tions ill all the im portant tow ns in K ansas, and its direct business is d e a f­ ly w ithin the jurisdiction of th e State courts.

The local authorities have been con­ vinced by Mr. M onnett th a t the Stand­ ard has violated the Sherm an A nti- T rust act, and they will use their in­ fluence w ith th e D epartm ent of Com­ m erce to obtain a recom m endation for crim inal and civil prosecutions. Oases against officials of the A tchison, Tope­ ka and Santa F e and one other railw ay com pany are also probable.

Deaiiness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous liningof the Fustachian Tube. Whenthis tube is in­flamed you have a rum t lingsound or imper­ fect hearing, and when It is entirely closed Deafness is the result, a id unless the inflam­ mation can be taken out and this tube re­ stored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.

Mr. E lkins, in his statem ent, regard­ ing th e railw ay rate bill, said: “No decision as to an effort to pass th e bil! th is session has been reached, but w ith the lim ited tim e a t th e ir dis­ posal, it w ould seem th a t th e re is very little prospect of th a t resu lt before adjournm ent, w ith only ten days of the session left and w ith m uch other im perative business to be perform ed.

There was to have been commu­ nion at St. Peter’s last Sunday, but bad weather kept everybody at home. It will be administered Eas­ ter Sunday. Everybody is invited. The Rockwell Furniture Co.' has enlarged H e r plaut and are talk­ ing of raising more- stock. They are doing a great business at this time. Teacher’s meeting was held at Rockwell school the 9t.h inst. Ow­ ing to bad weather the attendance was very small; only five teachers were present. Prof. Kiser made some very interesting remarks on education. The people through this section are highly pleased with The Rec­ ord, and glad to have such a paper to read. The little son of Rev. F. M. Hare is suffering with exema. Mrs. J. H. Sides and son, of Spen­ cer, are v’isitiDg her father, J. A. Trexler this week. If yon want to know what fool subjects our great and wise Demo­ cratic legislators, here in !forth Carolina, are wasting their time over, just listen at this: “A till was introduced making it unlawful for hogs and goats to get under the churches in a certain county, and the bill was discussed long and se­ riously.” Gosh. Pat, don’t that take the rag off the bush? If the people of that particular county don’t want hogs aud goats to get under their c-hurches, why iu thun­ der dou’t they get some cull lumber aud plank up the openings under the houses? That would look more like business than to have the leg islature of a great State wasting its time over it. Scat, ti.ere O ld D ick . The Republican u embers of the leg:slature are so few, comparative­ ly speaking, and so powerless to achieve anything, that it. is lhepart of wisdom to sit and look o.i aud watch tiie Democrats break their necks fight one another until the people become thoroughly disgust e I with the whole pash. RYDALE’S TONie A REAL CURE FOR JViALfA R I A . It has recently been discovered that the germs that produce Malaria, breed aud mul­ tiply in the intestines and from there spread throughout the system by means of the blood. This fact explains why Halaria is hard to ciire by the old method of treatment. Qaininet Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and build up the blood, but do not destroy the germs that cause the disease. Bydale’s Tonic had a specific effect upon the intestines and bowels, freeing them from all disease breed­ing microbes. It also kills the ererras thaii infest the veins and arteries. It drives from the blood all poisonous matter and makes it rleh aud healthy. RYDALE S TONIC is a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer. Tiy it; it will not disappoint you.

The Ward bill- amendment to the Watts law —pissed the House Tnesday-of last -week and is now the law of the State. There are but two additional fea­ tures in the bill, other than the Watts law contains. The main feature, of course, is that liquor, <rc , shall not be man­ ufactured in towns less than 1000 inhabitants, and the other the po- liece regulations. The object of this legislation was to wipe out Williams, Shore, M yr­ tle and other places that had be~n granted special p.ivileges by the legislature of 'two years ago; that is, by'act of incorporation, and therefore exempted from the pro vision of the Watts law. This act also destroys the seven or eight distilleries at Advance ivithont other legislation. The action of the legislature was cow ardly as well as destrueti ve. In­ stead of legislating directly against these distilleries, in order to des­ troy them, they makfe a law to ap­ ply to Ilie whole State—somewhat like the old j ug-livw fraud. • This conrse the Democratic party was compelle.l to persne. The sit- r.ation was critical. The prohibi­ tionists demand this action,—it was their last and ouly chance, aud the radical wing of the Demorrati:: par­ ty was not adverse, it seems to the scheme., for to lose this prohibition vote was to lose the State in 1909, for the prohibitionists threatened to visit all kinds of maldictions npon Get Up a Club.

The above article in to the point, nnd we Ciin endorse every line of it. vV'e do not live for self alone. Cain, who killed his brother Atiei, asked this question: “ Am I my brother's keeper?” While we are not liter­ ally onr brother’s keeper, yet we do not live tor self alone, and the man who does live for se.f alone, is of little benefit, to his country, aud dying leaves lew to mourn his de­ parture. We should rise above small audsellish motives, ana make stum- sacriii-es for t.ie coranmii -uoil. The Bible says- ‘‘The poor ye shall have with you always, aud we who are more fortunate shonlil tie willing to make some sac ritices to raise and elevate the poor and untiirtuuate. - Taken from a selfish standpoint a graded school, in onr opinion, will domore tobnild up our tvAvu than double theamonnt of money invested iia any other en­ terprise. If -we opposed the graded school for this town we would be&shamed to advance the arguments used by some of the oppouents against it. Daring the 1900 campaign the peo pie were told to vote tor tile amend­ ment and the Deniociatic party would see that the poor boys of our country would be educated. 1905 is upon us, and 190S will soon roll around, and we find that some ot those who were most influential iu advocating that amendment are op­ posing schools to educate the poor children. Politics should not en­ ter into this question, SIen should r.se above partisan politics in such matters. The education of the boys and girls of our country, the up­ lifting of the masses, is too import­ ant to admit of argnment. Give the people of Mocksville a chance t J go to the ballot box and say w hetter we shnll have a grad­ ed school, aud. if they vote it down the responsibility will rest. upon those who vote it down.

Itis the mast arbitrary legislation outside of secession, that could be enaited. It is revolutionary.

Washington, D. C., Special.—Theo­ dore Roosevelt was transform ed from president by chance into President by choice; from President through an as­ sassin's bullet into Presideut through the ballots of the people. Under the shadow of the gray-doom­ ed capitol, gazing into the placid mar­ ble features of Greenough’s statue of the first President, the twenty-sixth President of the United States swore faithfully to execute the laws and to preserve, protect and defend the con­ stitution. Once before he had taken this sol­ emn obligation; then, at the deatli-bed of his martyred predecessor, surround­ ed by a small company of tear-dimmed friends and counsellors; Saturday, in the presence of a cheering host of fifty thousand people. Then he had ridden many lonely miles over storm-swept mountain roads to reach the tragic scene of his elevation; now he was escorted along the natiou's grandest avenue from the W hite House to the home of Congress between two densely packed lines of his countrymen gath­ ered from every quarter to cheer him • and wish him godspeed in the coming four years. Then he had said, with chocking voice: “It shall be my aim to continue absolutely unbroken the policies of President McKinley for the peace, prosperity and honor of our be The inaugural cost about IfiSiOOOi wihch It is believed has heed fully re­ paid in the sale Of grand stand seats and ba’l tickets. The guaranty fund subscribed by W ashington merchants and business men will thus be Teturtii ed. Everything but the actual ctre- moies were in charge of the inaugural committee, composed of W ashington residents, and headed by Brigadier General John M. Wilson, U. S. A., re­ tired, appointed for that purpose by Chairman Cortelyou, of the Republican national committed The broad pla 2a whose level surface stretches east from the national capi­ tol can accommodate an array. Fcr hours Saturday morning W ashington ( poured its own population and a vast I increment of visitors into the front yard of the seat of government. From the pordcos and windows of the capi­ tol building a good idea of the scope of the multitude could be gathered. Eight acres of humanity spread fan­ shaped from the focus made by a little covered shelter, open at the sides, where tie President was to stand. Over toward the imposing facade of the Con­ gressional Library it extended, liter­ ally a “sea of faces.5’ There may have been only 50,000; probably there were nearer 300,000 in sight of the President j when he took the oath. Stands on the central portico, ex­ tending to the tribune wherein the cer­ emony occurred, covered an acre. From the central entrance of the capitol to the seai:s of honor surrounding the pagoda-ike tribune was laid a carpet of crimson plush. Long before the cere­ monies in the Senate, where Yice Pres­ ident Fiirbanks was taking his oath of office, was concluded, most of the reserved seats had been filled by ticket holders. AU in all it was the grandest page­ ant ever witnessed on American soil. The ceremonies were simple but solemn and Impressive. The order was es- {csilent, the weather was fine and the ORB Rom> loved country.*' Satcurdav he left it for his fellow-citizens. who had hon­ ored him with a greater majority thau ever before given, to judge whether or no he had redeemed that pledge. The colonel of the Rough Riders has w ritten of hjs crowded hour in Cuba. Now he showed his former comrades a crowded hour in W ashington. They were waiting for him when he emerged from the W hite House—30 picked men under Governor Brodie. W ith the crack squadron A of the First Cavalry. United States Army, they formed his escort to the capitol. As they swung around the Treasury building into Pennsylvania avenue a division of the G. A. R., with General O. O. Howard and staff in the lead, which had been standing at salute, wheeled into the column, while the cavalrymen check­ ed their pace Ij accomodate the slow-, er foot-steps of the aged veterans. A mighty wave of cheers swept along the avenue as the President’s carriage came in sight. Throughout the whole route the President, with hat in hand, kept bowing in acknowledgment of the greetings. On his arrival at the capi­ tol he was conducted to the President’s room, in the rear of the Senate cham­ ber, where he began at once the sign­ ing of belated bills. At noon he en­ tered the abode of the Senate to wit­ ness the installation of Senator Fair­ banks as Vice President. This cere­ mony concluded, he proceeded to the stand on the east front of the capitol to receive the oath from Chief Justice Fuller and to deliver his inaugural ad­ dress. Immediately upon its conclu­ sion the President was escorted back to the W hite House, where, after lunching with the officials of the inau­ gural committee, he took his position on the stand in front to review the fomal inaugural parade. exercise* weve dispatched without a hitch. At a sign from Chief Justice Fuller, the clerk of the Supreme Court step­ ped forward, holding a Bible. A hush fell over the crowd. The President raised his hand, and the oath to sup­ port the laws and constitution of the United Btates was revently taken amid deep silence. W hen this had been concluded, there was practically no de­ monstration, and the president began his inaugural address. As soon as he I finished speaking. he~ re-entered the • capitol, and as he disappeared within 1 the building a signal was flashed to the navy yard, and the roar of 21 guns was begun in official salute to the Presi­ dent. The expiration of the old CongrescJ. and the Deginning of the new was wit­ nessed at noon. Senator Fairbanks took the oath as Vice President and made his address as follows: VICE PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS. Senators: I enter upon the discharge ‘Cf the- dv«tif»s of the position to which I have/ called Ijjf my countrymen with grateful appreciation of the l«gh honor and with a deep sense of its responsibilities. I have enjoyed the privilege of serving with j'ou here for eight years. DuritSg that period we have been engaged in the consideration of many domestic questions of vast im­ portance and with foreign problems of unusual and farreaching significance. We submit what we have done to the impartial judgment of historj*. I can rever forget the pleasant rela­ tions which have been formed during my service upon the floor of the Sen­ ate. I shall cherish them always among the most delightful memories of my li’e. They w arrant the belief that I shall have in the discharge of the functions which devolve upon me under the constitution the generous assistance? and kindly forbearance of both sides of the chamber. We witness the majestic spectacle of a peaceful and orderly beginning of an administration of national affairs under the laws of a free and self-gov­ erning people. We pray that divine favor may attend it and that peace and progress, justice and honor may abide with our country and our countrymen. Gens. Kuropatkin and Mistcheneko at Odds.

The inaugural address is as follows? My Fellow-Citizens* Nh p%upie oh earth have more cause to be thankful than ours, and this is said reverently, in no spirit of boast­ fulness in our own strength, but with gratitude to the Giver of .Good wh6. has blessed us. with fchb conditions which have Enabled us to achieve so large a measure of well-being and of happiness. To us as a people it has been granted to lay the foundations of our national life In a new continent- We are the fieirs of th* ages, aha yef Wb have, had to pay lew 'ot the 'penaities which in old coun­ tries are exacted bjT the dead hand of a bvgone civilization. We have not been obliged to fight for our existence against any alien race; and Vet bur life has called foi* the Vigor and effort With­out which thb manlier and hardier vir­ tues wither away. Under such condi­ tions it would be our own fault if we failed: and the success which we have had in the past, the success which we confidently believe the* future will bring, ehould cause In us.nb feeling of V3in-gi0iy. but rather a deep and bid­ ing realization of all which life has offered us: a full acknowledgement of the responsibility which is ours; and a fixed determination to show that under a free government a mighty people can thrive best, alike as regards the things of the hbciy and the things of the soul. MUST BI FRIENDLY. Much has been given to us, and much will rightfully be expected from us. We have duties to others and duties to our­ selves; and we can shirk neither. We Jiave become a great nation, forced by the fact of its greatness into relations SfIth the other nations of the earth; and we must behave as beseems a peo­ ple with such responsibilities. Toward all other nations, large and small, our attitude must be one of cordial and sin­ cere friendship. We must show not only in our words, but in our deeds that we are earnestly desirous of securing their good will by acting toward them in a spirit of just and generous recognition of all their rights. But justice and gen­ erosity in a nation, as in an individual, count most- when shown not by the weak, but by the strong. When ever careful to refrain from wrongdoing others, we must be no less insistent that we are not wronged ourselves. We wish peace; but we wish the peace of justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish it because we think it is right and not* because we are afraid. No weak na­ tion that acts manfully and justly should ever have cause to fear us, and no strong power should ever be able to single us out as a subject for inso­ lent aggression. OUR RELATIONS AMONG OUR­ SELVES. Our relations with the other powers of the world are im portant; but still more im portant are our relations among ourselves. Such growth in wealthh, in population and In power as this nation has seen during the cen­ tury and a quarter of its national life is inevitably accompanied by a like growth in the problems which are ever before every nation that rises to great­ ness. Power invariably means both re­ sponsibility and danger. Our forefath­ ers faced certain perils which we have outgrown. We now face other perils the very existence of which it was in­ possible that they should foresee. Modern life is both complex and in­ tense. and the tremendous changes wrought by the extraordinary indus­ trial development of the last half cen­ tury are felt in every fiber of our social and political being. Never before have men tried so vast and formidable an experiment as that of administering the affairs of a continent under the forms of a democratic republic. The conditions which have told for our marvelous m aterial well-being, which have developed to a very high degree cur energy, self-reliance and individual initiative, have also brought the care and anxiety inseparable from the ac­ cumulation of great wealth in indus­ trial centers. Upon the success of our experiment much depends, not only as- regards our own welfare, but as re­ gards the welfare of mankind. If we fail, the cause of free self-government throughout the world will rock-to its foundations; and, therefore, our re­ sponsibility is heavy, to ourselves, to the world as it is todaj*. and to the generations yet unborn. There is no good reason why we should fear the fu­ ture. but there is every reason why we should face it seriously, neither hiding fitom ourselves-the gravity of the prob­ lems before us nor fearing to approach these problems with the unbending, un­ flinching purpose to. solve them aright. Yet, after all, though the problems are new*, though the tasks set before us differ from the tasks set before our fathers who founded and preserved this republic, the spirit in which these tasks mpst be undertaken and these problems faced if our duty is to«be well done, re­ mains essentially unchanged. W e know that self-government is difficult. We know that no people need such high traits of character as that people which seeks to govern its affairs aright through the freely expressed will of the freemen who compose it. But we have faith that we 1Shall not prove false to the memories of the men of the mighty past. They did their work, they left us the splendid heritage we now enjoy. We, in our turn, have an assured con­ fidence that we shall be able to leave this heritage unwasted and enlarged to our children and our children’s chil­ dren. To do so we must show, not merely in great crises, but in the every­ day affairs of life, the qualities of prac- tical intelligence, of courage, of hard­ ihood and endurance, and, above all, the power of devotion to a lofty ideal, which made great the men who founded this republic in the days of W ashing­ ton, which made great the men who preserved this republic in the days of Abraham Lincoln.

The Pekin authorities have sent or­ ders to General Tsang to suppress the bandits. The line of communication between Kyougsong and Vladivostok is strong­ ly guarded. A telegram from H aunshan said that the gradual forward march of tba en­ emy continued. Advices from Tokio said iliat General Kuropatkin was massing iargc forces on the Russian left. Kuropatkin tried wide-sweeping op­ erations on both Jaimuese flanks, but got a hard pounding. The third Russian Pacific squadron was reported off Langeland. escorted by a Dutch torpedo boat and a German ironclad. 'General Knropatkin telegraphed that twenty Japanese torpedo boats and one warship have beeu sighted off Vladi­vostok. LaYge numbers of Russhvn troops are reported in the extreme northeastern part of Korea, on both sides of the Tumen River. Russian scouts, d’sguised as China­ men, came within 50t> yards of the Jap­ anese position at Tuhiitse. The Jap­ anese fired and the Rcssians retired. Reports reached ToIrio that tho Rus­ sian army in Manchuria was becoming disorganized, and that there was wide distrust of K uropatkin among his gen­erals. Russia's latest cause of alarm is over w hat will happen when the deceived peasauts find the story untrue that the Czar will proclaim a division of lands next month. A Russian raiding party under the command of Colonel oJensmidt blew up seventy feet of the bridge south of Hai-Cheng, about ten miles cast of New-Chwang. Predicts Defeat for Lawccn. James R.

W ard Biil Passes; The W ard liquor regulatioii bill} which had passed the Senate, prohib­ iting distilleries in towns of less than 1,000 population; eame up as the spe­ cial order; Mfi MbNihch warned all the friends of the bill against Votinf for any amendment, or for a motion to table any amendment, as such a course might kill the bill. Mr. Turner offered a substitute making it unlaw­ ful td sell or m anufacture liduoi* In North Carolinai subject to tne vote of the people of each county at the general election next year; He said he offered this in good faith. He attacked the W ard bill, spying his bill would establish prohibition in dvety Coiinty where the people voted for it. Mr. McNinch asked if the W atts law did not give that right. Mr. Turner re­ plied that the W atts law only per­ mitted town people to vote. The bill did not allow the sale of liquor in country; districts or the manufacture of it there; it did fiot siipjflfini the W atts act; but amended it; Mr. Mur­ phy of Rowan, offered an amendment prohibiting the sale as well as the manufacture of liquor in towns of less than 1,000. He said he opposed the W ard bill because he was a Demo­ crat. Mr. Sledge handed in a petition from citizens of Caswell, asking that distilleries at Milton be not disturbed and offered an amendment exempting Caswell. Mr,. Ffeimster, advocating the W ard bill, said Mr. Mlirfihy had fought the W atts bill and was actually against his own amendment, which was offered to defeat the bill. Mr. Mitchell, of Bertie, spoke of powerful lobby the distillers had here and the literature they were circulating, and said the other side had fid such lobby, He said those who had rallied arolind the flag of W illiams add Shore, had tried to decapitate Chairman F. M. Simmons, the head of the Democratic party, in resentm ent of his efforts to protect the Church and school. Mr. Graham of Granville, attacked the W ard bill, declaring that it contained no tinge of temperance or morality but, that while it meant fio good to the temperance cau£e it bieant great evil to the Democratic party; He de­ clared that he saw less temperance ill the W ard bill than special privileges for the whiskey trust at the expense of the home manufacturers, but inde­ pendent ones. He did not believe the temperance forces behind the bill in­ tended this effect, but it was certain­ ly possible that somebody in the in­ terest of whiskey m ight be supporting the movement, He declared that the W atts bill should be called Ofl to in­ crease the blockade distilleries in North Carolina, and that there WCre three blockade stills running today where there was one when the W atts law went into effect. The House passed the W ard bill regulating the distillery—permitting cone in towns of less than 1,000. All amendments were voted ddwfl and the bill passed as it came from the Senate the vote being 74 to 35. In the Senate Wednesday bills were introduced to exempt members of fire companies from jury service; to change the eleventh and thirteenth ju­ dicial districts; to establish a dispen­ sary at Roxboro: to lim it the poll-tax; to empower county commissioners to fix the place of execution of criminals; to empower succeeding guardian to foreclose mortgages; to change the time for holding courts in the ninth district.

Bills passed providing for paving the walks iu the capitol square; also a bill incorporating many churches and school houses and pictecting them from the sale or manufacture of liquor within a radius of one to three miles. The Redwine bill'w hich passed the House to break up speculating in wit­ ness tickets in criminal cases and to drive out scalpers by allowing them only io per cent, on the price paid for tickets, caused such confusion and ex­ citement, due to the members rushing up with amendments exempting their counties, that action on it had to be deferred. Bills passed to allow the naval mili­ tia an equal sum per capita to that al­ lowed the National Guards; to place tablets to the memory of N orth Caro­ lina troops at Bethel and Chicamau- gua. There was a breeze over the bill to amend the charter of the State Normal' and Industrial College, a t Greeasboro, the bill falling to pass 15 to 24. Gra­ ham changed his vote from aye to no, and then moved to reconsider the vote by which the bill was defeated, saying it had been recommended by the chair­ man of the committee on education and only gave permission to charge §10 per month for board instead of §8. Mur­ phy, of Buncombe, said the present law was enacted in 1891, and provisions were so much higher now that an in­ crease was necessary. The bill was made the special order for tonight D uring the discussion of the bill Rep­ resentative Itobeson announced that a special committee from the Tennessee Legislature had come to Raleigh to in­ vestigate insurance laws. The privi­ leges of the floor were extended by a rising vote, and five minutes’ recess was taken, the visitors being given an informal reception.

In the House a message was receiv­ ed from Governor Gietifl? detailing the term s of the bond settlem ent agree­ ment and urging its adoption, the mes­ sage being sim ilar to the report by th§ Cdnlmittee to the House last night. Chairman Grahfimj of the committee on revision cf laws, or Codej read an extract from a Raleigh letter to The Charlotte Observer and other papers yesterday, saj'ing that The Code com­ mission had done some arbitrary things, such as placing all public insti­ tutions, includlflg schools, under con­ trol of the board of public improve­ ments! He said the report was un­ founded. A detailed method was adopted. W hile Some members oi the committee did not work, more than tw enty had done so and no two or three men had done the work or attem pting to dominate the others. The bill authorizing the pajfment of the §215,000 in settlem ent of the Schaf­ fer bonds came up on second reading. Mfi Powers* of Rutherford, said that twenty-five years agd Be and Mr. Gra­ ham, of Lincoln, were members of the Legislature which issued bonds in set­ tlem ent of the State debt for §40,000,- 000; that the bonds now being settled were about the onlj- ones which were not sent in under the term s of the set­ tlement. and that the holders, now virtually accepting the term s offered by the debt settlem ent of 1879, was creditable to the honor as well as the sagacity of that settlem ent. Mr. Graham, of LincoInts added that the settlem ent of 1879 was made by a leg­ islative committee and bondholders in conference, just like the present set­ tlement. Mr. Graham congratulated, the committee for having effected a set­ tlem ent without a departure from the Democratic piatform. Upon the roll call, 101 members voted aye, Patter- soif, Republican, from SwaiU, voting no. Butler, of Sampson, was excused from voting upon the statem ent that the he had no interest, direct or re­ mote in the m atter, except that of any other citizen and tax-paj*er and rep­ resentative.

One reason why Peruna has found per­manent use in so irmny homes is that it contains no narcotic of any kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without requiring a drug habit-. Pemna does not produce temporary results. Jt is permanent i;ri its effect.It lias no liad effect upon the system, and gradually eliminates catarrh by re­moving the cause of catarrh.

I,—Science placed the death of Mrs. Jane Lnthrop Stanford, Senator Lelaiid Stanford’s multi-mtt- lionaire widow, indubitably in the list of mysterious murders when the chem­ ists to whom w as intrusted the analy­ sis of the bicarbonate of soda of which she partook and the contents of the dead woman’s stomach found both held an easily mortal proportion of strych­ nin:.. ' ltigorous investigation by the police simultaneously developed that the mur­ der was an act of vengeance or insane hatred, not a crime committed for gain, for it was ascertained the jewels, val­ ued a I §75,000, and other personal prop­ erty Mrs. Stanford brought here in her flight from San Francisco, Cal.. to CS-, cape the secret poisoner were undis­ turbed. Suspicion therefore apparently narrows to the persons who may have fancied themselves aggrieved by an act or oijjission of the famous philan­ thropist, unless the two attem pts to kill her with stryehnine-ihe first ill her Nob Hill home, the second and successful one in the Moiiaua Hotel here—were made by one animated by nudiscriminating murderous enmity to the rich. It was known unofficially that the autopsy performed showed Mrs. Stan­ ford died of tetanus of the respiratory organs, and the fact that tetanic spasms sncli as the victim hart shortly before her death are recognised by medical men the world over as consti­ tuting one of the strongest symptoms of strychnine poisoning was enough for those who believed from the first the rich American w as murdered. Dr. H. V. Murray, tlie physician who per­ formed tlie autopsy, said officially strychnine poisoning was the direct cause of death. A step still more im portant than au­ topsy or analysis, because of the for­ mality with which tlie law is invested here, remains to be taken. If an arrest is to be made in any part of the world, it is believed it will not be ordered or even suggested by High Sheriff IIenry until after the luquesfc Once the ju ry returns a verdict declaring Mrs. Stan­ ford the victim of an assassin the po­ lice niity act. Mrs. Stanford’s body was embalmed. It will be taken to San Francisco in the stcamsiiip China. H. Al Hackfield was selected to represent the Stanford inter­ ests here. Foriucr Judge Stanley, who first took charge of the murdered woman's effects, will advise him legally. Mr. Hackflcld took the wid­ ow's jewels into his personal custody. No objection was made to that by XIiss Bertha Berner, Mrs. Stanford's private secretary. JIiss Berner remained in the Moimua, attended by May Hunt, JIrs. Stanford’s last maid. Miss Berner said JIrs. Stanford, in San Francisco, drank a glass of min­ eral w ater with the bicarbonate of soda taken there. May Hnnt, said Miss W erner, agreed w ith her th at the soda bottle was packed in one of Mrs.- Stanford’s trunks in Sail Francisco five weeks ago and not opened until the night of the widow's death. It also was learned that Mrs. Stanford, when she came here on the steamship Korea, said she had left Sau Francisco “in a great hurry.” No specific theory lias been expressed by the police. Sau Francisco, C aI.-AU doubt that Mrs. Leland Stanford w as murdered apparently was removed w hen Acting Police Chief Spillane received from High Sheriff IVilliam Henry, of Hono­ lulu a dispatch saying the bottle oi' bicarbonate of soda, from which the philanthropist took tlie dose that killed her, contained a quantity of strychnine medical experts said w as sufficient to kiii'lumdreds of persons. The message said there were (5(12 grains of the poison in the bottle. A physician of high standing, commenting on the news, said that was enough to cause dC2 deaths. One-fifteentli of a grain, he said, was the largest dose that could be given vyitli safety, the average quantity taken at one time for medicinal putv poses being one-fortieth of a grain. All Mrs. Stanford’s relatives and friends were amazed when they learned how much strychnine was mixed with the soda. Charles G. Latiirop, Mrs. Stanford’s brother, and Monntford S. Wilson, her lawyer, who were so ready to assert their belief the octogenarian had not died from poison, were unwilling to talk after they read the dispatch. They immediately held a conference w ith D. 0. JIills and plainly were eager for further information from Hawaii. Louis Falkenau. the chem ist who analyzed the mineral w ater Mrs. Stanford drank on January 14 last, the first tim e she was poisoned, said i: was impossible for any save an exper: to detect the presence of strychnine ii . bicarbonate of soda, the harmless crys­ tals looking- so much like the poison. Professor David Starr Jordan, Presi­ dent of Stanford University, asserted emnhatically JIrs. Stanford’s mind w as perfectly clear to the day of her death, and said he had letters from her to show that. Pittsburg, Pa. — On their way to I H aSliingtoii to join in the inauguration of President Kooseveit many persons Were killed and over a score injured in a l’ear-eud collision between two sec­ tions of a special passenger train from Cleveland on the Pittsburg, Fort IVayne and Chicago.- division of the Pennsylvania Railroad a t Clifton Sta­ tion, eight miles west of this city. The accident oecnrred at 6.45 at night. Fire which followed the smasb-up added Iioivor to the wreck and de­ stroyed three of the cars of the first section of the train. The flames also retarded the work of removing the in­ jured, and several of the dead were burned almost beyond recognition.- Tlie two sections of the train which crashed into each other left Cleveland about I o’clock. The first section bore the * ItoyaI Battalion Engineers, Na­ tional Cuard of Ohio, and was made up of six coaches and a baggage car. The second section, with the same Uttniber of ears, carried the Tippecanoe Club, of Cleveland, considered the most prominent Republican club of the Buckeye State. The first section had stopped at Clif­ ton Station, because of a hot box, when the second section smashed into it. The engine plowed its way through tire rear Pullman of the first section, crushing the passengers under its ter­ rific weight of iron. The shock was felt In every car of the train, and a panic among the passengers followed. JIeii climbed through 'windows, and above the noise of falling timber could he heard the shrieks of the dying. Tiie passengers lent prompt assist­ ance. As rapidly as they could they extricated the wounded from the wreckage and tended to them as best they could. JVord was hurried to Titts- biirg for aid, and special trains were rushed to the assistance of the injured. JIost of the dead, it is said, were in the rear car of the first section. JIany persons also were injured in the second car. hut not mortally. As fast as pos­ sible the more severely hurt were taken to Rochester. Ta., and at 10 o’clock a special bearing twelve of the hurt reached Alleghany. They were taken to the Alleghany General Hospi­ tal. and then followed a mix-up be­ tween the authorities of the city and railroad people. The officials of the Pennsylvania road demanded th at the injured be taken to the JVest Pennsylvania Hos­ pital. while the city authorities wanted them placed in the nearest institution that could he reached. The railroad people arranged to run a special train through to the JVest Pennsylvania Hospital, and most of the injured were taken there. The lirst report from the wreck said that sixiy persons had been killed, and a train with tw enty physicians was sent from this city at once. This was followed by a special train bearing right deputy coroners, in charge of Coroner Armstrong. Tlio news of the wreck spread rap­ idly in this city, and a t night it looked as if all Pittsburg were In the streets about the newspaper offices. Thous­ ands stood in front of the bulletins anx­ iously watching for the latest reports from the place of the disaster, and the police had a hard tim e maintaining or­ der. A report also was received here that ghouls, under the guise of helping the injured, w ere robbing the dead, and twenty-five policemen were sent to Clifton. INJ7EN TO k p l u n g e s t o d e a t h . Hearfuroken at Loss, F. Jl7. O’Connor Jum ps From a JVindow. Omaha, Neb.—In a fit of grief over the loss of a model w hich after years of effort he had practically-completed, F . JV. O’Connor, inventor of a sun stencil, threw himself from the third floor window of a hotel and w as dashed to death on the pavement beneath. The invention was intended to do away w ith the laying out of a sign, the full outline being cast upon a dead wall or signboard by glass slides on the prin­ ciple of a stereopticon. - Every detail would be correctlj’ portrayed, so,that painters could begin immediately w ith their brush work. New slides were ju st received which the inventor thought would make the apparatus perfect, and he had sat up expectantly through the night in order to give the machine the final test as soon - as day dawned. The machine stood on the windbw-sill, after he had adjusted the new lenses, and in some way it slipped and w as smashed into a thousand pieces. : Heartbroken, he threw himself after it. ; ENTIRE COLLEGE CLASS QUITS.

MOXKOE Illil’O CO, liulPDVille, Mo. PROTECTION AGAINST A WITCH. Law Invoked to Keep Woman From Supernatural Detective Work. Once or twice a year some extraor­ dinary piece of evidence finds its way into the papers of the survival of the most primitive forms of witchcraft, and of the belief in the same, in parts Hf Ireland. As a rale these cases transpire when the law is broken by persons ill-treat- Ing the supposed witch, as when last year an unfortunate woman was held on the fire to drive an evil spirit out of her, But the last few days have shown a novel case, In which the protection of the law was invoked to protect certain persons against a witch. An old Irish peasant woman had suf­ fered from the theft of a small sum o t.money. Being unable to discover the thief or thieves, she had made a straw image, dressed it up, stuck it full of pins, and placed it on a bier, and proceeded to hold a “wake” or funeral party over it. She then de­ clared that her intention was to bury this image, with suitable invocations, with the certain result that as the straw of which it was made decayed away so would the body of the thief waste and dwindle. Certain of the neighbors (possibly with guilty consciences) asked that the police might stop this experiment in witchcraft, as it gave them great un­ easiness.

It hardly pays to IaugiY before "'you are certain of facts, for it is sometimes humiliating to think of afterwards. “W hen I was a young girl I was a lover of coffee, but was sick so much the doctor told me to quit and I did, but after my marriage my husband begged me to driuk it again as he did not think it w as the coffee caused the troubles. “So I Commenced it again and con­ tinued about O months until my stom- aclrcommenced acting bad and choking as if I had swallowed something the size of an egg. One doctor said it was neuralgia and indigestion. “One day I took a drive with my hus­ band three miles in the country and I drank a cup of coffee for dinner. I thought sure I would die before I got back to town to a doctor. I w as drawn double in the buggy and when my hus­ band hitched the horse to get me out into the doctor's office, misery came up in my throat and seemed to shut my breath off entirely, then left all in a flash and went to my heart/ The doc­ tor pronounced it nervous heart trouble and when I got home I w as so weak 'I could not sit up. “My husband brought my supper to my bedside wKh a nice cup of hot coffee, but I said: ‘Take that back, dear, I will never drink another cup of coffee if you gave mo everything you are worth, for it is just killing me.’ IIe and the others laughed at me and said: “ ‘The idea of coffee killing anybody.* “ ‘Well,’ I said, ‘it is nothing else but coffee that is doing it.* “In the grocery one day my husband w as persuaded to buy a box of Postum which he brought home and I made it for dinner and we both thought how- good it was but said nothing to the hired men and they thought they had drank coffee until we laughed and told them. Well, we kept on with Poslum and it was not long before the color I came back to my cheeks and I got stout and felt as good as I ever did in my life. I have no more stomach trou- j ble and I Imow I owe it all to Postum in place of coffee. “My husband has gained good health on Postumt as well as baby and I, aud we all think nothing is too good to say about it.” Name given by Postum Co., BattlfCyoekf MicU, For a new industrial college shortly to be opened in Paris a chair of auto- mobilism is to be jointly supported by .he State, the Department of the Seine and the city of Paris, says the Motor World. Lost Calf Fcund With Wild Deer. An odd story comes up from Great Island, in Portland harbor, in connec* tion with the deer situation down there. Last fall a calf belonging to Frank Stevens strayed away and, al­ though efforts were made to find it, could not be located. Recently, however, some gunners who were out hunting saw the long ^ost calf in companj* with a deer, and since that time the two have been seen together on several occasions, sometimes the calf being with several deer. It is evident that the little anfi tnal has been adopted by the deer o( Great Island and lias now become one of their number. It has become as shy as a deer and in fact lives and acts just as they do.—Kennebec Jour* nal. You get what yon want if you want it with both feet. So. 10.

Josiah William Bailey dis­ cusses the liquor situation of Korth Carolina—a kind of a recapitula- iou —in the last issue of his roligio- politico newspaper: nominally the Baptist organ of the State, which' reads as near like -the situation in which he and Simmons have gotten the people, and especially the Deniocratie party', as it is possible for the able editor to get it.—mix­ ed; so mixed, that, alter yon have read it you are doubtful if the til-other is satisfied with the result, or even with himself—who seems so confused in his conclusions that he don't know what he is iu favor of; but the dispen ary seems to be Iiis favorite, while he only sees pro hibition away down the vista of time’s revolving cycle. Tliere is but one thing he is elear upon; he is dead agaiust the saloon and he thinks the “ Drink Evil’' still stalks np and down the earth like a ghost in a graveyard, and appeals to the brethren not to slacken their vigilance. But there is onestrikiiig feature in the article, and that is, lie is talking all through it as tho’ the people had doue alii this when he kuowus how hard he worked lashing the prohibitionists of the legislature into line, while brotheis Simmons and Dauieis lashed the weak-kneed Democrats up to the scratch every time the hydra-head­ ed liquor monster popped his head np. The people, as he well knows, except a few by petition, had uolli- ing to do with it. The Republi­ cans insisted upou submitting the question ol prohibition to a vote of the people; but uo, sir, neither Mr. Bailey7 nor senator Sianuoiis nor Little-Me too Daniels would harkeu to such a t-hicg. They’ k new if they did they would get beaten out of their boots. AU that has been done has been accomplished without, the aid or concent of the great mass of our peopie, and Josiah can talk about the people doing it all ’till he is stone blind, or write about it ’till his hand is palsied, and it will uever make it so. It is true the people are easily humbugged but they get tired of the bnmlmggery ami the humbugs after awhile and ttieu there is an. end to the hum bugs. Yon can fool the people f -I- a while, but not all the time, nor for all time. The legislators did hot represent the masses; only a factional lew, noinparathely speaking. IfBaiiey ami Biinmuns Iiad beeu cock-sure f ,ltiiey would gladly lisivcsubiniti- ed i he question ro a vote of the peu- p'e. Toey easily submitted the ne­ gro disfranchising amen Liheiit to lie voted upou and red skirted and shot gunned through, but they dar­ ed not repeat that, experiment the second time; no, indeed.- These peopie deliberately did by legisla­ tion what any other despotic power would do—what they’ kuew they’ could not do by the voice ot [lie people, and iu doing it set a precedent for the taking away of every vestaige of self-government from the people. But. in doing it they have gotten very litrletemper- —practically’ none. All that they h ive done is to force sa'oous out; yes, they have done something else; something we think some of them M ill feel heartily ashamed of when from under the. influence that coutrolcd them while in Raleigh, and that is the destruction of ir.di vidual property. Whiskey or no. whiskey., the act of destroying hun­ dreds of thousands of dollais worth of property’, was one- of the most despotic acts ever enacted by’ any legislature,—beyond anything any civilized and intelligent body of legislators ever forced upon a peo­ ple; such an act is so for reaching that it cannot be discussed in brief newspaper articles, for there is up telling what such men will do with the rights and liberties of the peo- I thrown Iin as a whiskey sop to the oM soakers, lncatch v otes.

The Davie Record is having fits over the way “Boss” Simmons is bossing the Democratic party. We think if the Democratic party makes no kick that the Record has uo kick coining. It makes us tired to hear a boss-ridden member of a boss- cursed party kicking about bossism in the Democratic party.—Davie Times. • Republicans are far from having fits ovcr the bossism of Senator Bim J mons. If the editor of the Times will pause long euough to read his Democratic exchanges he-wilt find out that quite a large number of his own party’ are registering some very vigorous kicks agaiust his boss. As for the assertion that the editor of The Record is a “boss- ridden member of a bossed .cursed party we deny the charge, and the editor of the Timescanproduce no proof of such an assertion. We do our own thinking aud do not bow the knee to any boss. The Reprib liean part.v is in favor of local self- government, and the Democratic party at one time claimed to lie very much in favor of the same princi­ ple; but alas, the bosses of his party liave ditcarded the time-honoied principle, and are fast taking from the people their rights aud liber­ ties, and if the Golonel will hold his ear to the ground next year when the election returns liegin to come in, he will bear, in uo uncer­ tain sound that a day of reckoning has come. The editor of TheRecard favored a graded school for Moeksville; the editor of The Times advocated it also, and was very strenuously iu favor of it until “ his boss” cracked the whip, and theu his ardor cool­ ed down very perceptibly. “ Our Bo s s e s’- did not uolify us that we had as well pack our grip aud leave town: and if they’ had, we should have beeu still iu the light for what we believe to be best for our town aud our people. Buch editorials as the above may assuage the lacerated feelings of the Uolouel; but will not fool toe peo­ ple who know why such a sudden change came over the Colonel’s dreams. We wear uo man’s collar; we take orders from no boss, and we-ure ready to step down and out whenever the time comes that we will have to suer dice our manhood and independence. “ We bend not the pregnant, hinges of the knee that thrift may follow fawning.” The Kational tispublicaii Edito­rial Association.

But why should he disavow all connec­ tion with this act of the legislature he dominated? One word from him would have prevented the act, but np where, until now, have we seen where he disapproved the incorpor­ ation of this town.

In any bird’s eye view of the leg« islation enacted by the general as­ sembly of 1905 about five acts loom up over all the rest as centers of general interest. They are the bond settlement, the new divorce law, the W ard bill, the Revisal of The Code, and the “bucket- shop bill.” These and all other measures effect­ ing the whole state are treated briefly below, summaries being given, where the bills are lengthy and in such cases as the revenue and machinery act, the school law or the revisal only the changes are noted. The local acts chartering railroad companies, banks, incorporating towns and establishing graded schools are classified. 1THE BOND SETTLEMENT. A special legislative committee, com­ posed of Senators A. C. Zollicoffer of Vance, A. M. Seales of Guilford and Representative W alter Murphy of Row- livery of any spirituous, malt, Viilous, fermented hi* intoxicating' liquors is made ifl the State of N orth Carolitia shall be -construed .and held to be thd place of sale thereof; and any stations or other places within said state to whloli any person, firm or company or Corporation shall ship or convey any spirituous, malt, vinous, fermented or other intoxicating liquors for the pur­ pose of delivering or conveying the same to a purchaser shall be con­ strued to be the place of sale, pro­ vided that this act shall not be con­ strued to prevent the delivery of any spirituous, malt, vinous, fermented or intoxicating liquors to druggists in suf­ ficient quantities for medicinal pur­ poses* Provided further, that this act shall not he construed to prevent the shipment of such intoxicating liquors to duly licensed dealers in the same, in any town Or city where the sale of such liquors is not prohibited by law. Section 2. That all liquors, or mix tures thereof by whatever name called, that will produce intoxication, shall be construed and held to be intoxicating liquors within the meaning of this act. Provided, this act shall apply to the fol­ lowing counties and townships in North Carolina, none others, viz: Alleghany, Ashe, Burke, Bertie, Bladen, Bruns­ wick, Buncombe, Caldwell, Carteret, Catawba, Cherokee, Cabarrus, Moore, Vance, Wake, Hyde, W arren, Watauga, Yancey. Lincoln. Macon, Mecklenburg, Mitchell, Montgomery, Northampton,of Guilford and J. B. ........... — GhOMeia °f Martin, in conference with j Orange. Perquimans, Randolph, Robe- ~ j „ . . Rutherford, Scotland, Clevelandthe governor and council of state re periling the best setlement of the Schaf­ fer bonds and the South Dakota judg­ ment, made the following recommenda­ tion to the general assembly: '•Gentlemen: The committee to whom was referred the matter of the South Dakota judgment and the Schaffer bonds, to the end that they might care­ fully consider the same and make some recommendation to the general assembly, do now respectfully make the following report: “1st. That the governor of Uie State, with the approval of the council of State, be directed to settle the South Dakota judgment in the manner deem­ ed by them best to protect the State’s interest. “2nd. After a careful consideration of the bonded indebtedness known as the Schaffer Brothers bonds, being 242 bonds of the par value of $1,000 each, with interest on the same for twenty- nine years, and after consultation with the attorneys of said bondholders, the committee unanimously agreed to rec­ ommend the following: “The State is to pay the bondholders $892 per-bond, which is less than par value, and amounts to $215,864. This is $447,216 less than the principal and interest of the 242 bonds, $179,186 less than the first proposition suggested by the bondholders to the governor, $86,- 136 less than the first written proposi­ tion made by the bondholders, printed in the newspaper as a letter to the governor, and $26,136 less than the ul­ timatum that they offered at the first -meeting of this committee. The $215,- 864 recommended by the committee, and accepted by the bondholders, is based (though less) on the settlement of 1879, allowing 25 cents on the dollar and interest for twenty-four years, with interest on the deferred coupons, this being in strict accord with the settlement of 1879 and the Democratic platform. "We believe this settlement is both honest and just, and we therefore rec­ommend that the general assembly ac­ cept and approve it.” This report was unanimously adopted by both branches, and a bill passed in accordance therewith, which being a roll-call measure, required six days for its enactment and necessitated the leg­ islature remaining in session until Monday, March 6th, although the term expired on Saturday. The bill, after stating the conditions of the settlement agreed upon by the committee, the payment by the State of $215,864 for the 242 bonds now held by the Schaffer Brothers and the gov­ ernor to settle the Sopth Dakota judg­ ment against the State for $27,400, pro* vides for an issue by the State treas­ urer of bonds of North Carolina to the amount of $250,000 to meet the above expenditures, the bonds to bear upon their face the express purpose for which they were issued, and drawing 4 per cent, interest dating from Jan­ uary, 1905, to be paid semi-annually on -January. 1st ap,d- J u ly is tr The bonds1 are to be of denominations of $500 or $1,000, and are not to be sold for less than par. THE WARD BILL. . W hat is known as the “W ard hill" amends the W atts law'of 1903 by stipu­ lating that “It shall be unlawful for any person or persons, firm or corpor­ ation to manufacture or rectify for gain any spirituous, vinous or malt li­ quors or intoxicating bitters within the State of North Carolina, except In In­ corporated cities and towns having not less than one thousand ponulation, wherein the manufacture of liquor is not, or may not hereafter be prohibited by law or regulated by special stat­ute.” Then every city or town in which -manufacturing or selling is permitted under this act shall maintain a town or Uity government as provided in its charter and a police force of not less than two policemen, and some mem­ ber of the police force is required to visit each place where liquor is sold or manufactured in the town at_least once a week to see if the laws are being obeyed and if the place is being con­ ducted in an orderly manner, and to make a written report of his visit to the mayor and hoard of aldermen, which report the mayor shall deliver to the solicitor of the district. In case of the failure of any town to carry out these requirements, the county com­ missioners may revoke and cancel li­ cense authorizing the sale and manu­ facture of liquor in that town. Another section is added which makes the possession and issuance to any per­ son of a United States license to sell. or retail, in any county, city or town where the manufacture, sale or recti­ fication is forbidden by the laws of the State, prima facie evidence that \th e party is guilty of doing the act per­ mitted in the license, in violation of the State law. The act is to take effect from January 1.1906. ' ; ANTI-JUG LAW. The new anti-jug law that was. pass­ ed to take the place of the act of 1903 which by the error in its drafting was construed to apply to the whole state instead of only the counties of Mitch­ ell, Cleveland, Cabarrus and Gaston, as it was intended, is as follows: An act to define the place of sale of intoxicating liquors in North Caro­ lina; The general assembly of North Caro­lina do enact: Section I, That the pldce where de- Craven, Duplin, Durham, Forsyth, Franklin, Gaston, Graham, Gates, Guil­ ford, Harnett, Haywood, Iredell, John­ ston, Union, Goldsboro township in Wayne, Nashville and Mannings in Nash, Lake Waccamaw, Wbiteville, Pine Bluff and Chadbourn in Columbus, Kinston township in Lenoir. The act of 1903 was amended so as to make it apply only to the counties of Mitchell, Cleveland, Cabarrus and Gaston, and further amended to in­ clude Perquimans and Ashe. A special amandatory act makes the carrier or deliverer the agent of the vendor Mitchell, Ashe and Perquimans. Previous to the passage of the W ard bill, special acts had established pro­ hibition in the county of Richmond, thus driving out the big distilleries at Hamlet and Hoffman, had repealed the charter of the town of Myrtle in Bruns­ wick county, one of the towns incor­ porated by the legislature of 1903, so that liquor might be manufactured there, had repealed the act. allowing liquor to be sold to the guests of thi Atlantic Hotel, Morehead City, and had amended the act allowing it to be sold in original packages to guests of the Toxaway Hotel, Brevard, by adding the Mountain Park Hotel at Hot Springs, Madison county. THE REVISAL OF 1905. One of the most im portant things the general assembly of 1905 found to do was to examine and adopt the re­ vised code. A legislative committee labored tirelessly during the entire ses­ sion, going over the work of the Code commissioners and making such chan ges and amendments as they saw fit and finally both houses enacted the re- visal into law in the last days of the term, relying entirely upon the com­ mittee’s report. Now a special com before adjournment, comprised of Sen- before adjournment, eompised of Sen­ ator Zollicoffer of Vance and Represen­ tatives Graham of Granville and Red- wine of Union, will finally review the work and superintend its publication. The first volume will be distributed free to all the justices of the but not the second volume. It is un­ derstood that an unusually complete index will be prepared. Laws passed by the general assembly of 1905 will repeal any conflicting pro- vistions of the revisal, and possibly a few changes will be made necessary on this account. The revisal shows the following prin­cipal changes in the law: W here either husband or wife has feloniously slain the other, the guilty one shall be debarred from all rights in the personal estate of the other, and the right to administer on the estate. This applies to those guilty of man­ slaughter, whereas heretofore it applied only, to cases of murder. An adm inistrator can sue for the re­ covery of personal property fraudu- lently conveyed, by the.decedent in bis lifetim e. ’ W here an attorney at 'law collects money for a clent and the client get* a judgment against him for his failure to account, the judgment shall be car­ ried forward on the docket, and if it is not paid by the next term of court, the judge may disbar him . from practic­ing. . The power of sale in a mortgage can-: not be executed after ten years from its maturity. County officials hereafter give their official bonds for their term of office and not annually as heretofore. Letters of administration must be taken out within ten years from the death of the intestate. A county commissioner, approving a bond, is liable as surety, if by reason­ able diligence he could have found that the party was insolvent. In actions against insurance com­ panies summons can be served on the local agent as well as on the insur­ ance commissioner. In actions in magistrates courts against foreign corporations, summons can be addressed to the sheriff of the county where a process agent of said corporation is located, returnable in not less than twenty and not over forty days. Profane swearing in a' justice’s court is punishable by a fine of $5 or impris­onment. It is now only necessary, in order to remove a -c 're *-:a» a justice, to file affidavit that affiant “has good reason to believe he is unable to obtain a fair trial.” Mileage books are redeemable at the “ a”"f^ tULe ;° .r„ ^...^^l^^erceuto/T am ^haJbe^nT sed. " 5°No sheriff shall administer an oath. General bird and turkey law, close seasop begins March 1st and ends Nov. 1st, a number of counties being ex­cepted. The following only are exempted from jury duty: Practicing physicians, licensed druggists, telegraph operator in regular employment: train dis­ patcher employed in handling trains regularly licensed pilot, regular minis­ ter of the gospel, officer or employe of a state hospital for the insane, or active member of a fire company. AU state institutions, except the higher educational institutions that are not also charitable, must make report on demand, to the board of internal improvements. The governor can at any time order the board to investigate any of such institutions, and, when in his opinion the Interest of the state de- mands it, he can remove the Offieiais of such institutions, APPROPRIATIONS FOR STA ffi IN* STITUTIONS: The omnibus bill carrying appropria­ tions for thp state ihstitutioiis for the years 1905 and 1996 may be tabulated as follows: 1905.

Of the amounts appropriated, the fol­ lowing items are for permanent im­ provements: Five thousand dollars for grading and macadamizing roads and walks, purchasing laundry machinery, furni­ ture, putting in cement floors, and for machinery for the wood-working de­ partm ent at the Morganton school for the deaf and dumb. Seven thousand five hundred dollars annually for the purpose of providing sick wards, cement floors for the base­ m ent rooms, new roofs for the kitchen and laundry, with enlargement of the latter, additional windows for the girls’ dormitories, a cold storage plant, and other needed improvements, and fifty dollars annually for the purchase of books, at the institution for the blind at Raleigh, for whites. Three thousand dollars annually for lights and water, eight thousand for boilers, six thousand for repairing, re­ painting and flooring, and otherwise improving the buildings and fencing the grounds, forty thousand for erect­ ing a building or buildings for the in creased accommodations for patients at the hospital for the insane at Raleigh. For boilers at the Morganton hospital for the insane, six thousand dollars and for building an amusement hall for the .patients, $5,000. Four thousand two hundred for new boilers and for building a spur track from the railroad to the state hospital at Goldsboro, and twenty-five thousand dollars for the construction and equip­ ment of a building for the accommoda­ tion of patients. ? At the Soldiers’ Home, Raleigh, five thousand dollars for additional build­ ings, of which three thousand shall be jPaid in ' the year 1905, and two thou- iand in the year 1906. For textile machinery at the A. and M. College, $5,000. For chemical laboratory at the State University and for refitting the present laboratory for a laboratory of biology, $50,000, one-half available in 1905 and the other in 1906. At the State Normal at Greensboro, $10,000 for the years 1905 and 1906 for replacing the laundry building and equipment and the cold storage plant destroyed by fire, and for paying the loss to the college income on account of said fire, and $5,000 annually as a special maintenance fund and for con­ necting the central heating plant with the college buildings, and $82,000 for paying the debt contracted in replacing the buildings destroyed by fire.

PUBLIC SCHOOL LAW. The public school law remains practi­ cally unchanged in its main essentials. The most im portant change recom­ mended by the committee, a provision for five state district summer schools for teachers, at a cost of $7,500 per an­ num, was defeated. Another depar­ ture suggested was to make the hold­ ing of county teachers’ institutes by the county boards of education com­ pulsory. This was aiso voted down, hut the recommendation that these county summer schools be held bi-en- nially instead of annually was accept­ ed, also that tjxe amount to be appro­ priated by the county boards shall be from $200 to $250, as may be deter­ mined by the state superintendent, in­ stead of $200. The new Jaw allows the state super­ intendent $l,000-a year m lieu of and in commutation for traveling expenses, instead,-ef $500 for trayeling expenses and for additional clerical assistance. The Saiarieg of the clerk to the state superintendent and the special clerk iff chkrge of the loan fund are increased from $1,000 to $1,250, and that Of tDe stenographer from $506 to $600:. For every private examination for teachers’ Certificates Oach applicant, shall pay in advance to the county su­ perintendent a fee of $3.00. This fee was $1.00 in the old law.PENSIONS. The pension law for Confederate sol­ diers, sailors and widows is amended by increasing the annual appropriation from $206,000 to $275,006, The classes and amounts to each are flow as fol­ lows: 1. To such as have received a wound that renders them totally incompetent to perform manual labor in the ordi­ nary vocations of life, $60. 2. To such as have lost a leg above the knee or an arm above the elbow, $45. 3. To such as have lost a foot or a leg below the knee, or a hand or arm below the elbow, or have a leg or arm utterly useless, $35. 4. To such as have lost an eye and the widows and all other soldiers who are now three-fourths disabled from any cause, $20. Moreover, the county boards of pen­ sions are empowered to place upon the pension roll any Confederate veteran or widow disqualified by the $500 prop­ erty clause, who may appear to be un­ able to earn a living from property valued as much as $500 or more. LANDLORD AND TENANT. Two acts were passed relative to con­ tracts between landlords and tenant for land and crops. One makes it a misdemeanor for any tenant or cropper who procures ad­ vances from his landlord to abandon the land rented by him without good cause and before paying for Stich ad­ vances; for any landlord - who may contract with a tenant to furnish ad­ vances so he can make a crop to re­fuse to furnish the advances. And any person who employes a tenant who to his knowledge has violated this act shall be liable to the landlord for the amount of the advances made and also be guilty of a midemeanor. W henever any tenant shall contract for the rental of land for the current year and fail to perform the term s of his contract he shall forfeit his right of possession and the landlord may recover possession. This .law apples to the following counties: Wayne, Lenoir, Greene, John­ ston, Jones, Onslow, Craven, Cleveland, Sampson, Pitt, Duplin. Gates, Cumber­land, Perquimans. Chowan. Robeson, Bladen, Nash, Harnett, Edgecombe, Hertford, Wilson, Rockingham, Pender, Currituck, Gaston, Northampton, Beau­ fort, Chatham. Tyrrell, Mecklenburg, Guilford, Halifax, Caswell, Camden, Cabarrus, Columbus, Martin and Mont­ gomery. The other act is practically the same except that in addition it makes it un­ lawful for anyone to entice or procure a tenant or cropper to abandon or fail to cultivate the land, or after receiv­ ing notice to harbor on his own prem­ ises or on the premises of another, any such tenant. This applies to the coun­ ties of W ake, Hyde, Anson, Hertford, Sampson, Franklin and Union. In order to aid farmers desiring to hold their cotton for higher prices an act was passed amending the act of 1901, chapter 678, by reducing the bond required of warehousemen from $25,000 to $10,000 and by providing also that if any warehouse company has a mapi- tal stock of not less than $5,000, it shall not be required to give the bond. The act also makes all warehouse receipts issued by warehousmen complying with the law valid and binding in the hands of all bona fide holders for value, without registration. This of course means that farm ers can obtain money on their worehouse receipts as if they were checks, or use them in trading as money. COCAINE, OPIUM AND MORPHINE. An act regulating the sale of co­ caine, opium and morphine makes it unlawful for any one to sell, or give away these drugs except upon the w rit­ ten prescription of a reputable practic­ ing physician, veterinary surgeon or dentist, which prescription shall not be refilled unless directed by the attend­ ing physician. No veterinary surgeon is allowed to prescribe cocaine, opium or morphine for a human being. THE DIVORCE LAW. The hew divorce law repeals all laws creating any cause for divorce enacted since' the session of 1883, and amends the Code by making fornication and adultery on the part of the husband a cause for divorce instead of separa­ tion from the wife and living in adul­ tery. It is prdvided that this law does not apply to any suit now pending. THE BUCKET-SHOP LAW. The Bucket-Shop Law prevents deal­ ing in futures in the State except manu­ facturers and commission men. CHANGES IN THE REVENUE ACT. The tax on m erchant’s gross sales is repealed. Inheritance tax. Section 18: The duty of prosecuting delinquents is placed upon the solicitor. Heretofore the audi­ tor had power to employ attorneys for that purpose. Income tax: Section 22, is changed so that the list takers will certify to the corporation commission on blanks furnished by them showing income. Such lists to be treated like reports of corporations so far as publicity is con­ cerned. Section 30: Entertainm ents are ex­empt from tax th at are given in halls used exclusively for charitable enter­ tainments. Section 31; Attorneys, occulists and dentists. Additional tax is levied upon occulists or opticians In each county in which they may do business. Section 32.

CONDITIONAL PARDONS. The governor is empowered in any case in which he is authorized by the constitution to grant a pardon, to grant it subject to such conditions, re­ strictions and limitations as he consid­ ers proper and necessary, and if a pris­ oner who has been pardoned upon con­ ditions to be observed and performed by him, violates any of such conditions, the governor shall have him arrested and detained until he can examine the case. If it appears that he has vio­ lated the conditions of his pardon, the governor shall order him remanded and confined for the unexpired term of his sentence, in coqueting which the time between the conditional pardon and the subsequent arrest is not to be taken as part of the tim e of the sentence. TO ENFORCE WATTS LAW. A special act makes it a misdemeanor Cor an yperson to allow a distillery to be operated on his land in all. territory where the manufacture and sale of in­ toxicating liquors is prohibited, and sheriffs and their deputies and police officers are required to search for and seize any distillery in such territory and deliver it to the United States au­ thorities for confiscation, and destroy any materials found at such distillery also to seize any liquor found in the possession of any person not tax paid and stamped as required by the United States government and deliver it to the United States officers.

The penalty for violation of this act is a fine of from $250 to $500 and the forfeiture of license to do business in the state for twelve months there­after. RENOVATE SENATE CHAMBER. According to a resolution adopted the senate chamber is to be put in order before the meeting of the next general assembly. The work will be in charge of the hoard of public build­ ings and grounds. A new floor will be put in, raised at least four inches above the lobby floors, a new carpet will be laid, tbe walls w ill.be cleaned and the chamber painted and thor­ oughly renovated, and double storm doors will be constructed for both the senate chamber and the hall of the house of representatives. The cost is not to exceed $2,000. APPEALS IN CONTEMPT CASE. Appeals in contempt cases are pro­vided .for as in criminal cases except where the contempt consists of d iso r­ derly, contemptuous or insolent beha­vior committed during the sitting of any court in immediate presence of the court, or in the presence of any referee actually engaged in any trial* or heal­ ing, or any breach of the peace, noise or other disturbance directly tending to interrupt the proceedings of anv court or the contumacious and unlaw­ ful refusal to be sworn as a witness or to answer any legal and proper inter­rogatory. , It is further provided that the right S aI1 ,“ot aPPrt to contempt cases of wilful disobedience and resist- Dnce to a lawful order of court when committed in the presence of the court In cases where a rule for contempt is issiied by any court, referee or other office! the solicitor shall appear for the coiiif, and in case of appeal to the su­ preme court the attorney general shall appear for the court STATE LABORATORY OF HYGIENE. For the better protection of the pub­ lic health and to prevent the spread of communicable diseases an act was passed for tbe establishm ent of a State Laboratory of Hygiene, to be un­ der the control dfld management of the State Board Of Health. Ifl this laborato­ ry the act requires the board of health to have made monthly examinations of samples from ail the public w ater sup­ plies of the-State, and'aJso well and spring waters when in the opinion of any county superintendent of health or any registered physician there is reason to suspect such waters of being contaminated and dangerous to health. The board Shall also cause to be made examinations of blood and sputum in cases Of suspected disease. For the sup­ port of this laboratory $1,200 is appro­ priated and a tax of $60 imposed, pay­ able quarterly by each w ater company selling w ater to the people. HISTORICAL SCHOOL BOOKS. For the purpose of promoting the production and publication of school books relating to the history, literature or government of N orth Carolina for use in the public schools, it was enact­ ed that for two years, 1905 and 1906, five thousand dollars per annum be taken from the appropriation for the public schools to be used by the state board of education to encourage the production and procure the control of such school books as In the judgment of the board properly relate to the his­ tory, literature or government of North Carolina. The board is to fix the prices at which these books shall be sold to the children in the public schools, and the proceeds of such sales not further needed for the purposes of this act shall belong to the DUblic school fund. SUPREME COURT REPORTS. An act to place the printing of the Supreme Court reports under the con­ trol of the court provides th at the su­ preme court is authorized to contract from time to time for the printing of its reports, to select the printer and to prescribe such term s of the contract as will insure, under the supervision of the court, the prom pt issue of the reports as soon as practicable after a sufficient number of opinions are filed. It is provided, however, that no contract shall be made for a lqnger pe­ riod than two years, nor at a price higher than that paid the state printer for the same period. It is further pro­ vided that in letting the contract pre­ ference be given to printers of this State. MISCELLANEOUS. It is made unlawful for anyone to take waste or packing from a journal box of any locomotive or railroad car. The penalty is fine or imprisonment In jail or state’3 prison. All laws exempting municipal bonds from taxation are repealed, but any municipality may exempt its bonds from its own taxation. Hereafter the State w ill.appropriate $100 to each county fair instead of $50, and any shows at such: fairs are ex­ empt ,from state and county tax. The state appropriates $10,000 each year for the years 1905. 1906 and 1907 to pay the expenses of the state’s par­ ticipation in the Jamestown Tercen­ tennial Exposition on Hampton Ronds Va., beginning in May, 1907. Thisqip proprlation is conditional upon the United States government giving $1,- 000.000 to the enterprise. The salaries of the supreme court justices and the superior court judges were increased from $2,500 to $3,000. Other salaries increased were those of the two clerks in the office of the state superintendent of public in­ struction from $1,000 to $1,250 of the stenographer in' th at office from $500 to $600; of the : chief clerk' to the sec­ retary of state. from $1,000 to $1,200 and of the brigadier general from $150 to $300. One change was made in the judicial districts by taking W ilkes out of the eleventh and putting it in the thir­ teenth and taking Ashe out of the thirteenth and putting it in tho elev­ enth. A resolution was adopted requesting the posfofflce authorities to es­ tablish a sub postoffice at the capital during the session of the general as­ sembly. This would obviate the neces­ sity of employing two mail clerks and would thereby save $300 to the state. The pharmacy law w as' amended revised and consolidated so that its ad­ m inistration is m ade. more effective by means of more complete machin­ ery for carrying out its . provisions, but none of the essential require­ m ents is changed. The counties of Cleveland and Mecklenburg may elect boards of ed­ ucation after the term s of the present boards expire, two years hence. Bun­ combe is now the only county so elect­ ing its board of education. Days of grace are abolished on nego­ tiable instrum ents with the exception of sight drafts. County commissioners of all counties except New Hanover and Mecklenburg may regulate the speed of automobiles, motor-cycles and other like vehicles on public roads and; bridges. All the laws regulating pilotage were repealed, and W ilmington made an ab­ solutely free port, the only one south of Maine on the Atlantic coast. This was agreed to after one of the hardest fights before the committee ever known in the- N orth Carolina legislature, be­ tween! the .pilots and the business men of -Wilmington."... • An ameiyiment to the general rail­ road law makes the minimum number of persons hecessary to form a railroad company six instead of twenty-five. After June 1st, 1905, tlie standard Weight of a bnshel of corn meal in North Carolina shall be 48 pounds, and all bags shall contain two bushels- or one bushel and one-half-bushel or one- fourth bushel or one-eighth bushel re • spectively. each bag to be marked w hether the meal is bolted or unbolted the amount it contains and the weight! But this act does not apply to the re! tailing of meal direct to customers from bulk stock when priced and deliv­ ered by actual .weight or measure. To repair the.w alks and grounds of the capital square the board of public buildings and grounds is empowered to use such brick and other m aterial from the penitentiary, as is nojt otherwise appropriated, and such labor from the penitentiary as may not otherwise-be employed. The powers and duties of the gover­ nor are. increased by an act empower­ ing him when he shall deem it advis­ able to visit all Jstatc institutions for the purpose of inquiring into the!" management and needs. ’ « _ According to- w hat is. called the Hutchinson act railroads are required to settle claims for loss or damage within sixty days whenvthe shipm elt is from one point to another within the state.

Pe-ru-na Contains Nb Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has found per­ manent use in so many homes is that it contains no narcotic of any kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without acquiring a drug habit. Peruna does not produce temporary results. It is permanent in its effect. It has no bad effect upon the system, and gradually eliminates catarrh by remov­ ing the cause of catarrh. There are a mul­ titude of homes where Peruna has been used on and off for twenty years.

Only Their Wed Directed Flight Has Sayed Entire Army From Extermination GENERAL KUROPATKIN RESIGNS Extent of the Russian Disaster is Ear Greater Than Earlier Reports Indi­ cated, and It is Now Almost a Fore­ gone Conclusion That Even Should the Remnants of the Army Reach Tie Pass They Would be Unable to Hold It Against Their Pursuers, W hile General K uropatkln has ap­ parently succeeded In saving more of his artillery than seemed'possible, his losses in men, ammunition and' com- m isariat supplies, in the battle of Muk­ den, are far greater than earlier re­ ports indicated, and even that portion of his arm y which he succeeded in extricating from the positions around Mukden is still in serious danger. The Japanese generals, realizing that with a, little more speed they could have inflicted a crushing defeat on the Rus­ sian army after the battle of Liao Yang, determ ined not to again allow an opportunity to pass, and are fol­ lowing after the defeated and sorely tried Russian forces. W hile a small portion of K uropatkin’s army has reached Tie Pass, the greater part of those whQ escaped from the battle' of Mukden are still struggling northward, being at last accounts between 12 and 18 miles from their goal, with the Japanese, flushed with victory and re­ enforced by fresh men, harassing them from all sides. Even should the rem hants of the army reach Tie Pass, it is hardly possible for it to make a stand-there against the over­ whelming force opposing it, and es­ pecially as the Russians m ust be worn out and weakened by the loss of men, guns and ammunition. It is more likely that K uropatkin will fall right back to H arbin with w hat he can save and wait there for the re-enforcements that St. Petersburg already has prom­ ised him. A possible obstacle to the plan is General Kamam ura’s army, which has not yet bean located and which may also be heading for the northern capital. General Kuropatkin admits that 1,- 190 officers and 46,931 men are not responding to roll calls. This is rath­ er vague. It may or may not include the thousands of wounded who have been sent north, and again it may not include the losses suffered by the Third Army, with which the com­ mander-in-chief was not in communi­ cation for some time. The figures given by the Japanese W ar Office ap­ pear more reasonable, namely: 40,000 prisoners, 26,500 dead on the field, and 90,000 killed or wounded, the lat­ ter figure, of course, including the dead found by the Japanese. The Russian losses, theiefore, total much over 100,000 man, or more than one- third of the whole army. The fact that the Japanese report the capture of only 60 guns indicates that Kuro- patkin, at the last moment, succeded in sending, a considerable portion of his artillery northward on the rail­ way. The Japanese losses up to this morning were reported, as 41,222, not including the arm y which pushed north between Mukden and ifushun. Official Russia is determined to car­ ry on the war, and St. Petersburg re­ ports that orders have been issued for the mobilization of more troops. This m ay prove a difficult task with the tem per of the Russian people in its present condition. Theye is still hope in St. Petersburg that Russia can exhaust Japan financially, and for m onths there has been talk of the mobilization of an arm y on the Si­ berian border, which would compel Japan to keep her vast arm y in Man­ churia. Made a Good Run. Official information from the Rus­ sian headquarters in the field, supple­ mented by dispatches from corres­ pondents with the arm y of the Rus­ sian Emperor, show that General Ku- ropatkin, after suffering by far the m ost severe defeat of the war, has succeeded,- as he did after the battle of Liao Yang, in extricating the rem­ nants of his army from a position which military experts 24 hours be fore believed would result in its anni­ hilation Oih surrender. The retreat from .Liao Yang has been considered the most m asterly ever executed, but it is far overshadowed by this latest feat of the Russian general, who has taken personal command of the troops. A fter fighting for nearly three weeks, losing in killed, wound­ ed, and misring, probably a third of bis army, or nearly 100,000 men, and a fourth of his artillery. Kuropatkin gathered what was left together north of Mukden and is taking them towards Tie Pass.through a rain of shrapnel which is being thrown on them from both right and left. This he seems to have been able to accomplish by re­ sorting to the- same tactics which saved his arm y a t Liao Yang. General Kuropatkin has sent in his resignation to the Emperor. General Kuropatkin has telegraphed to Emperor Nicholas assuming him­ self all the responsibility for his de­ feat, making no excuses except that the strength of the Japanese was mi3-' calculated and refusing to place any of the blame upon the council of gen­ erals upon whose advice he determined to give battle. His reputation as an offensive strategist is gone, and, tboughk the Em peror’s m ilitary advis­ ors know not where to look for a bet­ ter general, his resignation will be accepted. In losing General Kuropatkin, the army will lose the idol of the private soldiers, an officer who, in spite of the intrigues Cf his generals and his failure to win a battle/ has won their confidence and affection. . The flight of the Russian arm y of upwards of a quarter of a million men and the 2,000 pieces of artillery with which it was expected ' confidently General Kuropatkin and his lieuten­ ants could prevent the advance of the Japanese beyond the Shakhe and Hun rivers, is still in the balance. They have been drawn from those positions, and are now rushing northward to­ wards Tie Pass, around which are high hills, which were prepared for defense after the battle of Liao Yang, in September, there being no hope at that tim e that the Japanese would al­ low the defeated arm y to rest south of the Tie Pass. That the Russians have lost many guns and large quan­ tities of ammunition and supplies is certain, for with but a single track of railway to the north, it would be impossible to remove the large stores which had been gathered tpgelher at Mukden. These, it seems certain, have been destroyed. The Japanese have not yet reported the capture of guns, which they generally do almost immediately; but’ it seems hardly likely that Kuropatkin could have re­ moved all fit his artillery." On th e 1st of January, according to corres­ pondents who have just returned from Mukden, the Russians had in position along the Shakhe and Hun rivers 1,500 guns. The losses in the operations preced­ ing the battle and those in the battle proper m ust reach enormous propor­ tions, but up to the present time, neither side has attem pted an esti­ mate. They will exceed the Shakhe losses, in which the Russians alone lost in killed and wounded and miss­ing 67,000 men. Bryan Loses Appeal.

Japs in Kuropatkin’s Rear. W ith the Japanese Left Armies, W ednesday, Noon, via Fusan.—The left arm ies have cut and destroyed the railroad between Mukden and Tie Pass. Details are not obtainable at present. The Russians are in retreat over the northern roads. The left column of these arm ies is a t Likampu, seven miles north of the Hun river and five miles w est of the railroad, and has had a fierce fight w ith a Rus­ sian force thrice its number.

Tien Tsin, By Cable.—The well-in­ formed here roughly estim ate the to­ tal Russian casualities at 150,000 and those of the Japanese 60,000.

Mrs. J.W. Lang Jflrs o . Frake O f' all the diseases • known, w ith w hich women are afflicted, kidney dis­ ease is the m ost fatal. In fact, unless early and correct treatm ent is applied, the w eary patient seldom survives. Being fully aw are of this, Mrs. Pink- bam, early in her career, gave exhaust­ ive study to the subject, and in pro­ ducing her great remedy for woman’s ills— Lydia E. Pinkham ’s Vegetable Compound—w as careful to see th a t it contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control th at fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in h ar­ mony w ith the law s th a t govern the entire female system, and while there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham ’s Vege­ table Compound is the only one espe­ cially prepared for women, and thou­ sands have been cured of serious kid ney derangem ents by it. Derangements o*f the feminine organs quickly affect the kidneys, and when a woman has such symptoms as pain or weight in the loins, backache, bearing down pains, urine too frequent, scanty or high col­ ored, producing scalding or burning, or deposits like brick dust in it; un­ usual thirst, swelling of hands and feet, swelling under the eyes or sharp pains in the back running down the inside of her groin, she may be sure her kid­ neys are affected and should lose no tim e in combatiug the disease w ith Lyd*,> E. Pinkham ’s Vegetable Com­ pound, the woman’s remedy for wo­ m an’s ills. The following letters show how marvelously successful it is. Lydla E Pfnkham’s Vegetable Gemeeand Mrs. Samuel Frake, of Prospect Plains, N. J., w rites: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— I cannot thank you enough for what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done forme. When I first wrote to you I had suf­fered for years with what the doctor called kidney trouble and congestion of the womb. My'back ached dreadfully all the time, and I suffered so with that beariug-down feeling I could hardly walk across the room. I did not get any better, so decided to stop doctoring with my physician and take Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound and I am thank­ ful to say it has entirely cured me. I do all my own work, have no more backache and all the bad symptoms have disappeared.I cannot praise your medicine enough, and would advise all women suffering with kidney trouble to try it. Mrs. J. W. Laag, of 626 Third Ave­ nue, New York, w rites: Dear Mrs. Finkham.*—I have been a great sufferer with kidney trouble. Mybackached all the time and I was discouraged. I heard that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound would cnre kidney disease, and I began to take it; and it lias cured me when everything else had' failed.

W bat a rushing business the v/iiiskey trusts iu Virgiuia and Keutiickywilldoiu North Carolina. It is hardly a question whether the legislature knowingly played into the whiskey trusts hands or uot— they kuow best. The proof of the pudding is in the bag. The legis­ lature left the door wide open for the trusts to ship whiskey into the State under protection of the.Inter- State Commerce law'and jug-law. The Ward bill cut, no temperance figure; there is nofea word in that Bili that can be construed to lessen or prevent the sale of liquor. That bill is a temperance fraud. It was made to destroy property of indi­ viduals—uot to restrict the sale of liquor or ameliorate the drink hab­ it. Thelegislaturecould not have enacted a piece of legislacion more beneficial to the foreign whiskey, trusts, or the better to rob our own people, thau this same Ward bili — destroy the means ot manufacture and invite the whiskey ti usts of other States to come iu with all the whiskey the can make and t-ell.

Mr. aud Mi s. L. A. Bailey, also, are on the sick list but are now on the road to recovery. Sheriff Sheek was in town Sat­ urday collecting laxes for 190i. Ai d agaiu we are reminded of the two inevitable somethings—death and taxes. A. T. Grant, jr., was in town Saturday evening on business. . Recently a youug man of this town received a very pleasant; mis­ sive from a certain young lady' who lives not a hundred miles from our b irders. Aside from a great nviuy nice I lungs, such as could emanate from the,soul of a love-sick m.lid, tiie following lines fell from her facile pen: "“ Love is a funny thing, Beauty is a blossom, If .yon want your finger bit, Stick it to a ’possum.-’ Ttuie: “cSosaywsall” Again: "Tiie rose is re-l.

Few of our people have any idea what the Southern Railroad is do­ ing to develop our ,country and in­ duce people and capital to come among'us. Itw asour pleasure last week while in Washington to meet Mr. M. Y . Richards, Industrial Agent for the Sonthern1 in his of­ fice, and we had a long talk with him, and he is alive and actively at work advertising our wonderful re­ sources. It does one good to drop into his office and talk to hint, for yon soon find out. if yon sire inter­ ested in attracting immigiationand capital to onr borders, yon have an atteutive listener, and oue who is ready to aid and co operate with you in the development and build­ ing up uf your sectiou. We were pleasantly and favorably impress­ ed with Mr. Richards. ;If the North Carolina legislature, was as anxious for capital and peo­ ple to come to our section as is he it-wonld pay the next legislature to invite Mr. Richards to come foRal eigh and talk an bon,r or two to the entire body. Establishing a Bu- iean of Immigration is not going to do ns much good until the party in power iii this State becomes more sane and ,enacts less partisan and disf-rimiuati ng laws.

It takes- time to know what is to win out in a child. Adolescence, the educational watchword just now, is no more than the establishing of personality. Kew England will never wholly get over the personality of Pilgrim aud Puritan, any more than Kew York will get over the primitive Knickerbocker, or Philadelphia her Quakerism. The Italian, the Armenian, be­ come Puritan in Boston, the Irish­ man aud Bohemian become Dutch­ men iu Kew York, while the Scan diuavian and Polander becomeQna- kers iu Philadelphia. AYe smile at the suggestion, but Boston closes her saloons at I l o’clock iu the evening, Kew York takes her Dutch beer at all hours, and Philadelphia continues to go slow. The East is a composite person­ ality, mergiug Puritan, Dutchman, aud Quaker iu one blood, touidg it upor down with tbebiood ofSeotch- lua-i and Dane, Romanist and Jew, anarchist and socialist, but it is the same Puritan-Dutch-Quaker still, and it. will never be perceptibly modified. The minority weuld do what the majority does if there was ho ma­ jority to do it. One of the leading Kew York Irish Democrats of the first order, who fought almost his­ torically for Parker in the late un­ pleasantness, has said since the election that there were a million moreKorthernDemocrats who would have voted for Roosevelt if they had uct known that the others were go­ ing to do it for them. The East is not Republican by a margin, but it is virtually all Re­ publican except for local effect aud personal prejudice. In the struggle of three centuries of acquaintance and assimilation, the Ea<=t has come to typify S-nd embody three ideals—thrift, intel­ ligence audeouscience. These are as much a part of the second American generation of Irish and Germans as of tea generations of Puritan, Knick­ erbockers aud Quakers. Thrift,intelligence,and conscience are ever at war, ever have been, erer will be. Ko two of them can agree. Conscience is antago­ nistic to thrift, and intelligence to both, but they watch out on one another and preserve the eommou poise. It is a triple allian e. Yon cannot photograph a color picture without three colors. A duotype may have a. certain ethereal sensi- tiveuess, but it is a mere suspicion of a color photograph. So the East is what it is because it is a person* al ty, a great personality iu which thrift, intelligence, an l conscience balance each other In the Scuthland pr judice pre­ dominates all three ami submerges them; in the West <onscieuce is li­ able to throttle thri t, and hypno ti e intelligence; but iu the East intense thrift, clear intellect, and warm conscience maintain the peace of two centuries Ko third party has captured the E ist for nearly half a ce*ituary,ahd presuma . Iy none ever will. A third party must be on-an economic,con­ science or academic issue. Ko one of these alone can capture the East. The Democratic party for half a cmtury has been unable to capture and hold the East-, because it has gone wild first oyer one aud tbep over another of these ,three phases a n d lias never combined them. Mr. Cleveland could have helped the Eist if the Democrats of the West and Soutii would have permitted. His sound mouey views gave him a cinch on thrift, bis civil service professions gratified the conscience, and his masterly messages satisfied the academic feature' of the East. Mr. Bryau appealed to the con­ science, but horrified the thriftand intellect. . . From the first the Republican Party has been expert in the art of mixing thrift, intellect and con­ science, It is thrifty 365 days in the year. It is always for educa­ tion, always- treats public questions in a scholarly manner, and puts in as much conscience as the taste re­ quires, and no more. It is sure o. the East. It defies the prejudices of the South, and goes as far to serve the VVest as it can and not lose the East. Every four years of age and ma­ turity moves the frontier The Democratic party has no pos­ sibility of taking possession of the country unless it can make some combination that leaves “out the E tsl. For forty years it has play­ ed a different combination every four years. It must eternally ca­ ter to the Southern prejudice. This ip its hadicap. It has tried to mix Yith this free trade, green back,free silver, free rum, and labor unions, anti-law and, order, anti-capital, anti-trust and anti-imperialism. Tbe Republican Party has never been ideal, has never tried to be, but it has always been respectable, always sale, always sane. It has been the only successful attempt at an ideal composite. More and more, that’ which satisfies the East will satisfy the Korth. Kow 1 for the first time, there is a President who is Iryiugtoiilcalize thrift, intelligence and conscience, each in all and all in each, without the slightest compromise of one for any other or all for any one. This is to be the great experiment of the twentieth’ century. It has lteguii early and ought to make a new Re: publican Party. President Roose­ velt’s personality is so vigorous,his conviction so intense, his manliness so noble that he can make a new Republican Party into which all the ideal sentiment of the country can come. With no spirit Or cant, letnspray for the highest- application of con­ science without jeopardizing thrift, the best of both without doiug vio­ lence to the keenest scholarly intel­ ligence. A new Republicanism will make a new America worthy the new world in the new century. We can’t-quite understand why the Democratic legislature exempts that large class of tax-payers, the merchants from a certain tax, which they have been paying for a num­ ber of years. It it was right when it was imposed it- is right now; con­ ditions have not chaugeil; but the point we make is that this exemp­ tion increases the burden of taxa­ tion of the farmers and proper­ ty owners—especially the farmers, and another point is that those ex­ empted nine-tenths of them are Democrats, while nine-tenths of the Republicans are farmers; yet, the Democrat who is a farmer must help foot up the loss in the State's revenue, while the town aud city Democrats are relieved of paying a part of their taxes heretofore paid. It is getting to betbe effort of Deni- ocrts to conscntrate their strength in the towns and cities as their only hope in the future—playing the game of the Eastern and Korthern Democrats,-whose hope is in cities where swarm the worst element of humanity and who can be herded, and favorg dealt out to them as is the case with Tammany of Kew York.

NOW TWENTY-FOUR Second Explosion Causes the Death of the Entire Party Which Was En­ deavoring to Recover the Blacken? ed Remains of the Victims of the First—Naked Flame in Contact W ith Cas the Cause of the Origi­ nal Tragedy—Heavens Lighted For Miles by the Flames From the Drift Mouths. Charleston, W. Va., Special.—As the result OS horrible explosions In the Kush Run and Red Ash mines, near Thurmond, Saturday night, 24 men now lie stark in death in the two mines. Ten 3of these were killed in the explosion Saturday night; the other 14 were a rescuing party who went into the mine Sunday morning to recover the black­ ened remains of their fellow-workmen, and were killed by a second explosion. !The first explosion seemed to shake the foundations of the mountains, and the angry twin flash from the two neigh- Iroring drift mouths lighted up the heavens for miles around. Soon, from the mining villages for several miles up and down the river, hundreds of peo­ ple rushed to the scene of the dreadful disaster. The first explosion was caused by a "naked” flame coming in contact with the gas. The flames leaped from the drift month and set Are to everything in reach that was not blown from harm 's way by the force of the ex­ plosion. The great drum by which the loaded cars are run from the drift mouth down the incline to the tipple and the empties drawn up, was blown from its moorings and down the moun­ tain side 000 feet, while the drum caught Sve and was totally consumed. ,The cars that stood at the mouth of the mine were blown far down towards the tipple, and much of the track of the incline was destroyed. T.he rails were twisted and the cross-ties whip­ ped from their beds in the ballest and sent scorched and charred many yards away. The big fan that furnished air in the mine was so damaged that it was several hours before it could be started again. After considerable time, the great fan was repaired and the power turned on, and it began drawing 100,000 cubic feet of air through the charnel house each minute. A rescue party was form­ ed and about 20 men entered the mine in search of the bodies of those who had perished at the first explosion, the men explored the mines for three hours, putting up brattices so that pure air should follow them w hen­ ever they went. Finally some of them came out and reported that the others were too careless in going forward faster than the good air was being supplied and carrying at the same time a "naked” light. At 3:45 another aw­ ful explosion occurred, caused by the gas coming in contact with the “naked" flame of a miner's lamp, and fourteen more souls were launched into eter­nity. Mine Inspector Edward Pinckney ar­ rived on the ground Sunday and took charge of the rescue work. The names of the band who lost their lives in the attem pt to get pos­ session of the bodies of those who per­ ished in the first explosion are: Crockett Hutchinson, Boyd county, Ky., machinist; Peter Hutchison; miner. Boyd county, Ky.; Norman Hutchinson, miner, Boyd county, Ky.; Thomas Bannister, fire boss and an officer of the National Mine W orkers’ Union, Fayette county, W. Va.; Chas. W inn, miner, Fayette counuty, W. Va.; .Tomes Winn, miner, Fayette county, W. Va.; B ratt Jackson, mine boss, Loijisa 1 K r.; George Hopkins, track boss, Maiden, W. Va.; Henderson Mab­ ry, Amerherst, Va.; E. W. Hinsman, tracksman, Amerherst, Va. No Clash Expected. Birmingham, Ala.. Special.—A dis­ patch reaching this city early Sunday morning by long distance telephone of a clash between union and non­ union miners at Adamsville, was dis­ proved by sheriffs who went there. The rumor started from the accidental shooting of W ill Nicholson, a white miner. Nothing resembling serious trouble was had at the Murry mines. Building Trades Convention. New York, Special.—A call has been Issued for a general convention of em­ ployers and employes in the building trades to be held here. One hundred and eighty delegates Will be present, 90 em­ ployers and 90 representatives of me­ chanics. The 90 employers will repre­ sent more than a thousand ' builders, and the 90 representatives of the unions will represent a constituency of about 100,000 workers. The only ques­ tions which will come up relate strictly to the arbitration which was adopted in 1903 and which it is now proposed to amend. Concessions to Mad Mullah. Rome, By Cable.—In concluding peace with Great Britain through the mediation of Italy, the Mad Mullah has obtained permission to occupy definitely lllig, a village on Italian Territory, ISO miles from Obbia, ■which was the base of operations in the last campaign led by General Man­ ning. Coast rights are granted the Mullah, qualified by a prohibition of trade in arrangements and slaves. HURRYINGSlIRyEY FORWARD France Protests. W ashington, Special.—M inister Bo­ wen has cabled the State Denartment that the French m inister at that place has protested to the Venezuelan Min* ister of Foreign Affairs against the action of the government, which has given notice to the French Cable Com­ pany of its intention to annul its con­ cession and seize its property. The nature of the protest is not given nor are any details in Mr. Bowen’s dis­patch. President Roosevelt made a speech to the Irish at New York Frirtas night, ..................................... Two Squads of Hands to Be Employed on Surveys. Winston-Salem, Special.—Two sur­ veys will be made before the line is definitely decided upon for the South­ bound Railroad. The first one will be from Gibson, below Hamlet via High Point, to Winston-Salem and the sec­ ond from Wadeshoro via Lexington to this city. Two corps of surveyors will be em­ ployed to do this work. One has been organized and the other will be se­ cured wkhin a few days. Captain O. H. P. Cornell will be at the head of Corps No. I, which will begin work next Monday. They will start at Gibson and survey this way. No. 2 corps will begin work at Wadesbo ro. The distance of the two lines is as follows: from W inston- Salem to Wadesboro, 93 miles; be­ tween Haimlet and this city HO miles. Col. Fries made this statement; “As I said in my speech at the mass meeting yesterday afternoon, the Southbound Railroad will be built, pro­ vided that the conditions imposed by the projectors are complied with.” Y. M. C.. A. CONVENTION CLOSES, Dr. Scherer’s Address Last Night Be­ fore the Asheville Convention W as the Closing Part of the Interesting Programme. Asheville, Special.—The address of D. J. A. B. Schearer, of Newberry College, closed the four days’ convention Ol the inter-State Y. M. C. A. last week. The conven­ tions have been largely attended, and it is believed that much good has been accomplished through the com­ ing together of such a consecrated and active band of Christian workers. The general secretaries were enter­ tained at dinner W ednesday by the interstate committee, which was very much enjoyed. The convention next year- will likely be held at Charleston, S. C., although no definite arrangements have been made to that effect, nor so far has any official announcement been made pub­ lic. Conductor in Jail. •Durham, Special.—L. J. Glasgow, late j'ard conductor on the Southern road, who was brought here from Virginia last week and waived examination on the charge of stealing from a frieght car, is still in jail. He was locked up last night in default of bond in the sum of $500, and up to late this after­ noon had been unable to arrange the bond. The erring conductor came here several years ago from Virginia and since that time has shown himself to be a good railroad man. He married a Durham girl of good family and has a wife and two children. He worked his way up in the employ of the Southern road and for some time had been yard m aster on a salary of $900 or $1,000. His fall was a great surprise to all who knew him. For some time the South­ ern has been checking up shortage in freight that was transferred here for other points. It was a hard m atter to trace the thefts, as the officials were looking for the criminal in some one lower in the employ. Finally the theft of two cases of whiskey, intended for the Henderson dispensary, was traced to Capt. Glascow. Then h.e was faced with the charge, and after denying it then admitted that he was guilty. Body Torn to Pieces. Spencer, Special.—Fred Edmunds, colored, an emploee of the Southern Railway Company at this place, was run over and instantly killed here by the shop train while en route from Salisbury to Spencer with a load of mechanics at the shops. It is stated that Edmunds attempted to board the train, which was moving at a high rate of speed, when near the yard limits, but by some means slipped and fell under the wheels. His body was practically tom to pieces and death was instan­ taneous. Another report has it that Ed­ munds was pushed under the train by a companion with whom he had a disa­ greement last night and who is said to have threatened the life of his victim at the earliest opportunity. The body of the dead man has been turned over to the coroner. North State News. The building committee of the A. & M. College has decided to have no in­ terruption in the work on the Agricul­ tural building.

A special from Goldsboro to the Charlotte News says: A small negro boy was lodged in the Kinston ' jail last week for safe-keeping. He attempted to outrage a 13-year-old white school girl near Falling Creek Monday even­ ing while she was returning from school alone and passing through a dense wood about a mile from her home.

Conimandinff Russian General Per- Smtforilv Called Home. GEN. LlNEVIiCHTAKESCOMMAND No mention of Fuvnier IteatlertS Res­ ignation Mafle in the Dispatches^ ltecord of the New General—Tie l'agg Captured—Tronble Still Spread* in s in Russia* St. Petersburg, Russia. — W ith the Japanese hanging on the heels and flanks of the rem nants of the broken, defeated Russian army, General Kuro- patkin, the old idol of the private sol­ dier, has been dismissed and disgraced and General Linevitcb 1 commander of the F irst Army, lias been appointed to succeed him in command of all the Russian laud and sea forces operating against Japan. The word “disgrace” is written in large letters in the laconic imperial order gazetted, which con­ tains not a siugle word of praise and also disposes of the rumor that Kuro- patkin had asked to be relieved. The Russian military annals contain no more bitter imperial rebuke. While It was known that the w ar council had already decided to supplant Kuropat- kin after the IIulsden disaster, the de­ cision to confer the task of saving the remainder of the army on Linevitch In the very m idst of its flight came as a surprise. It transpires that Emperor Nicholas upon the advice of General Dragomirolf and W ar M inister Sakha- roff determined that the step was nec­ essary when it became apparent that Kuropatkin, while concentrating for a stand at Tie Pass, seemed unaw are that the Japanese had worked around westward again and practically al­ lowed himself to be surprised. Old re­ ports brought by General Gripenberg regarding K nropatkin’s failing mental­ ity also Isad influence. A dispatch from Chang-tu-fu reports that General Knropatkin has left there for St. Petersburg. Under the circumstances, therefore, it was considered imperative, in view of the exceedingly perilous position of the army, to turn over its command to Linevitcb, who alone had been able to bring off his army in order after the battle of Mnkden. H is rgfcord during the Chinese w ar had also demonstrated his capacity as a commander. The task confided to Linevitcb of withdrawing w hat is left of the great army of 350,000 men to H arbin seemed a desperate one. General Liuevitch is in his sixty- sixth year. H e saw his first fighting wrheu he w as twenty-one years old, took part in the w ar with Turkey in 1877, and was in command of the Rus­ sian troops in the relief of the legation a t Pekin in 1900. For his services in Chiua he was congratulated by the Czar. W ith the Japanese L eft Armies.— The pursuing armies fully occupied Tie Pass at midnight, after a severe fight, the Russians retiring north in confu­ sion after setting lire to the railroad station and supplies. Tlie successful conclusion of the ar­ mies’ mission makes the movement the greatest of modern history. The ar­ mies covered almost ninety miles ill a fortnight, fighting practically every inch of the way. Home Troubles Spread. W arsaw.—Reports of the spread of the peasant agitation are coming from nearly every part of the country. In the Government of Pukov bands, rang­ ing from 100 to 500, are marching from village to village and inciting laborers to join in the movement. A dispatch received here from Lodz says that owing to m inors of an ap­ proaching mobilization the workers in the woolen mills there have struck. The Seventy-fifth Brigade of Artillery has been withdrawn from Lodz, and will be dispatched to M anchuria. It will be replaced by artillery reserves from Nijni Novgorod. The Government has requisitioned all the horses in this district. The workmen in the big factories here threaten to strike, and some of the men in the smaller factories have al­ ready walked out. B O U L D E R S S M A S H W A L L S Apartment House in New York City Tartly Demolished. Carelessly Controlled. DynamHin; Causes Havoc—Iio I'eople Killed - or Injured* New- York City.—Big boulders, hurled by the' force of dynamite, crashed against the rear walls of three flat houses in Lexington avenue, near 101st street, and smashed them in from the foundation to the second floors. The living rooms of the occupants were ex­ posed to view, and there were many narrow escapes from death. The entire neighborhood w as thrown into panic: In the bombarded houses women and children ran to the front windows, screaming for help. Into one of the rear rooms a rock weighing about 400 pounds wras hurled with ter­ rific force, fell on a dining room table, smashed it into kindling wood, crashed through the second floor to the first and wrecked the furniture there. A stove was demolished and started a blaze, which was put out quickly. Jagged rocks weighing from fifty to 100 pounds crashed into other rooms. For all this wrecking, it is said, a con­ tractor, biasing out rock in a lot at the rear of the houses, was responsible. Frederick Lam ura had been blasting for four weeks, and protests had been made against the way he was doing the work, for fragm ents of stone had broken windows. Still, it is said, he took no precautions to prevent such an accident as that which happened. It is supposed he expected to make short work of w hat remained of the giant boulder, and put a heavy charge of dy­ nam ite into a drilled hole. The heavy charge was exploded and the earth seemed to rise up all around. Two blocks away two members of Sen­ ator Fraw ley's Miami Club were thrown from their seats in the club­ house. The force of the concussion close to the rock was terrific. Big sec­ tions of the rock torn aw ay by tha blast shot straight at the rear walls of Nos, 1593,1395 and 1597 Lexington ave­nue. Like eggshells the walls gave way before the fearful force of the missiles. Not a brick stood iu position from the foundation to the window ledges of the second floors of the three house.'. The sound of crasliing>glass echoed through the district for several minutes after the roar of the explosion had ceased. The biggest rock landed in Edw ard J. Cahill’s home, in No. 1593. H is wife and children were out. Cahiil had Just left the rear bedroom when the 400-pound stone tore its way through the wall aud wrecked everything in the place. On the same floor lived Julins Neiburg and his family. Luckily all were out. Every bit of furniture in the rear rooms was crushed. The big stone kept on into the apartm ent of W illiam Crane, then smashed through the floor, Mrs. Daniel Reardon, on the second floor of No. 1593. had ju st called her husband and children from the front room to dinner. A stone weighing 100 pounds flew into the dining room and smashed a sideboard and dining table to fragments. A fter the hubbub ended it was seen the walls gave signs of collapsing. An emergency force w as sent by the Build­ ing Departm ent to shore tliem up. La- mura tried to escape, but was caught by an angry crowd. H e would have been beaten only for the police. He w as locked np, charged w ith criminal negligence. The scene after the blast looked as if that section of Harlem had been un­ der bombardment by a hostile army. Windows were broken for a t least a block in every direction. ROOSEVELT IN NEW YORK CITY. Attends W edding of Niece and Speaks a t Two Dinners.

Former Governor Temporarily Takes Over Executive Office. ALVA ADAMS FORGEO OUT DiBputecl Hlectlcm of la st Xovembcr FU IialJy Settled After Many Heated IHs- euBstons—Betlrlne Goveraor Adams' Secretarr !Decltneci to Sbako Stands WltJi Feabody~3Iel>onald is Governor Denver, Col.—Jesse F. McDonald, a mine owner, of Leadville, is now Gov­ ernor of Colorado. H e took the oath of office a t 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and completed the record claimed for Colo­ rado of having three Governors within twenty-four hours. Faithful to his promise that if the Legislature would oust Governor Alva Adams and seat him he would resign within twenty-four Jiours, Jam es H. Peabody released his resignation w rit­ ten a few days ago and stepped down and out, thus paving the way for the elevation to the Gubernatorial chair of the Lieutenant-Governor, McDonald. Jam es H. Peabody won his contest for the office of Governor of Colorado, from which he retired on January 10, after serving a term of two years. Governor Peabody took over the office of Governor from Alva Adams, his Democratic opponent. The vote In joint'convention of the General Assembly by which Adams was ousted and Peabody installed was 51 to 41. Ten Republicans voted with the Democratic members for Adams. Peabody maintained that Adams was elected only by fraudulent ballots, cast for the most part in Denver. . Although the Republican majority on Joint ballot is 35, the membership of the Legislature being GO Republicans and 31 Democrats, it had been found impossible to gain for Peabody enough Republican votes to reinstate him as Governor for the rem ainder of the bi­ ennial term ending in January, 1907. Twenty-two Republican members of the General Assembly, according to report, refused to be bound by any action in caucus in the contest, and en­ tered into a compact not to vote for Peabody. A majority of them, how­ ever, was in favor of seating Lieut.- Gov. McDonald In the Governor's chair if means could be found to do so le­ gally. Governor Adams, who had spent the day packing his effects, surrendered his office to Gov. Peabody shortly after 5 o’clock., Scores of letters, telegrams and telephone messages had reached the executive; cham ber during the day urging Gov. Adams to hold his seat by force, but he decided to ignore this advice. H e said he felt outraged at the ac tion of the General Assembly, and ex­ pressed - surprise that Mr. Peabody should become a party to w hat he term ed a conspiracy to secure the office of Governor, for a man who had no claim whatever to the place. H e gathered up his belongings and vacated the office, leaving Alfred Patek, his private secretary, in charge of the office. -Peabody immediately started for the Governor’s room. Ac­ companying him were Adjt.-Gen. Sher­ man Bell and Lieut. Gross. Entering the Governor’s office, Gov. Peabody asked: “Is Mr. Adams in? I should like to see him if he is.” ‘‘Mr. Adams has gone to tile hotel,’ said Mr. Patek. “I am his private secretary.” “Why, how do you do,” exclaimed Gov. Peabody, genially. “I am glad to meet you.” Patek ignored the Governor’s offer to shake hands, and said: “No, I draw the line a t thieves, and ” H ere Lieut. Gross drew back as if to strike Patek, but. Gen. Bell leaped be­ tween them and commanded both men to desist. Alva Adams w as inaugurated Gov­ ernor on January 10, the canvass of the election returns by the General As­ sembly having shown a plurality of 9774 votes for him. Two days later Jam es H. Peabody filed a contest for the office which- lie had surrendered. On January 17 the General Assembly, in joint convention, authorized a com­ m ittee of twenty-sevcu members, eighteen Republicans and. nine Demo­ crats, to hear evidence in the contest and report its conclusions. Fourteen Republican members of the committee signed a report submitted by Peabody’S:counsel, which found a m ajority of 2280 for Peabody in the State, by rejecting votes on the ground of fraud. The nine Democratic com- mijtteejnen presented a report declar­ ing th at Peabody had -failed to prove his election. Senator Morton Alexander, one of the signers of the majority report, also presented another report which recom­ mended that the election of Governor be declared null and void, and that Lieut.-Gov. McDonald, Republican,. be seated as Governor. Asked for an opinion on this method of settling the contest, the Supreme Court declared it illegal. PASSENGERS IN REVOLT. N e^ Army Fov W ar.

Serious trouble occurred between the passengers and officers. French Patience Exhausted. The French Government informed the State Department, a t 'Washington, D.

As far back as 1667 one Robert ■Hooke, of London, -proclaimed the •principle, of the telephone. By means of a .wire; he transm itted sound over considerable distances. A cenmry and a half later, in 1821, the nord •“telephone” was- first used, being ap. plied to W heatstone’s apparatus bj ■which sound was -transmitted through ■wooden rods. The first patents for the Bell ieie- phone w ire .aken out in 1876. Long distance telephoning is twenty years old this very year. At the beginning of 1904 there were 3,779,517 telephones under rental In ithe Unjted States. The number ol messages in a year passes beyond 3,000,000,000.- A current nfws item ■predicts telephonic communication in -the near future between New York and San Francisco. W ith a continent crossed hy the speech-carrying circuit there remains the problem of trans-oceanic commu­ nication by !telephone. It is not to be doubted that a solution will come. The rapidity of telephone develop­ ment, after its first fair start, as in­ dicated in the dates given above, Beeras to promise that the crowning achievem ent in long-distance com­ munication by voice may not be Iar •in the future.

BALD MEN’S HAIR CUTS. Less Hair a Man Has, the Oftener Does He Have It Trimmed. The secretive, taciturn barber was finally induced to talk. He rem arked: “I’ve noticed one peculiarity about my customers that I could never quite ex­ plain. The less hair a m an has the more attention he pays to it. “There’s a real estate agent who comes in here nearly every week for a hair cut, and if I shave him clean from the back of his collar to his fore- h eal you’d never know that I’d touched him. * He s got a short, light-colored fringe that plays around the rim of his hat, like the soft, fluffy fringe’ you see on those shawls the women wear over their shoulders, but you’d think to hear him, that he could braid it and do it up in coils. W ants me to he par­ ticular and trim it close on the neck and around the ears. “I humor him, of course. I take a handful of somebody else’s hair and sprinkle it on the cloth I put on him, and then I snip the air gently for 10 or 15 minutes and make a great ado when I whisk him off. Nine out of every ten of the bald- heads are that way, but men who’ve got plenty of hair will keep away from here until they look like the edges of an old-fashioned hayloft. It’s curious, and, as I said, I never could account for it.”—Providence Journal. Literal but Deceptive Truth. They had finished the parish tea and the curate stood up to say a few words to the recipients before they dispersed. He spoke in eloquent terms of the impecuniosity of curates in gen­ eral and then went on to say in ap­ parently touching tones: “Why, even as I stand before you now I have only half a shirt to my back.” A few days later the reverend gentleman received a parcel containing half a dozen new shirts, accompanied by a card bearing the name of one of his fair parishion­ ers. At the earliest opportunity he called upon the lady and thanked her for her gift and then proceeded to ask what had prompted the kind action. “-Why,” she replied, “you told us the other night that you only had half a shirt to your back.” “True,” answer­ ed he, “but the other half was in front.” Captured Baby Lynx. W. W. Bridges of Athens, while hunting recently, came upon a pe­ culiar track of some animal, which he followed.

THE SIMPLE LIFE Ways TIiat Are Pleasant and Paths That Are Peace. It is the simple life that gives length of days, sereniiy of mind and body and tranquility of soul. Simple hopes and ambitious, bounded by the desire to do good to one’s neigh­ bors, simple pleasures, habits, food and drink. Jlen die long before tbeir time be- tanse they try to c-rowd too much into their experiences—they diiub too high and fall too hard. A 'w ise woman •writes of the good that a simple diet has done her: “I have been using Grape-Nuts for about six mouths. I began rather sparingly, until I acquired such a lik­ ing for it that for the last three months I have depended upon it almost en­ tirely for my diet, eating nothing else whatever but Grape-Nuts for break­ fast and supper, and I believe I could eat it for dinner with fruit and be sat­ isfied without other food, and feel much better and have more strength to do my housework. “When I began the use of Grape- Nuts I was thin and weak, my muscles were so soft that I was not able to do any work. I n eighed only 108 pounds. Nothing that I ate did me any good. I was going down hill rapidly, was ner­ vous and miserable, with no ambition . for anything. -My condition improved rapidly after I began to eat Grape- Nuts food. It made me Ieel like a new woman; my muscles got solid, my figure rounded out, my weight in­ creased to 120 pounds in a few weeks, my nerves grew steady and my mind better and clearer. JIy friends tell me they haven’t seen me look so wel! for years. ^ “I consider Grape-Nuts the best food on the market, and shall never go back to nieats~'and white bread again.” Name giveu by Postmu Co., B attle Crpek.

W hen as a girl Amelie de France, now Queen of Portugal, first visited W indsor Castle, the mystic "jeweled bird' which was taken from the throne of Tippoo Sahib and presented by the East India Company to George III., was the object of her profoundest ad­ miration. In fact, it fascinated her ro* mantic soul, and Queen Victoria, who had a strong strain of romance in her nature, quite understood her young guest’s feeling, so she ordered the bird to be taken to the princess’ apart* ment, in o rd er. that a sketch might be made of the treasure. The first thing the Queen of Portugal asked for the night she entered the ban­ queting hall on the King’s arm and saw the blaze of the celebrated gold plate upon the buffet, was this jeweled bird! His m ajesty immediately or­ dered that it should be placed upon the table in front of the Queen, that she m ight gaze upon it at her leisure. There are many legends woven about that bird. A London journal says the Hindoos call it “Uma,” and they say that “whoever owns Uma must reign over India. It is supposed to have the gift of locomotion, and it alights upon j the head of whosoever it endows with*royal power. Itisa b o u t twelve inches long, and is shaped like a pigeon w ith an exaggerated tail. Rubies, brilliants, emeralds and pearls are sewn about tne quivering feathers of filagree gold work; it holds a price­ less ruby in its beak, and an emerald of great size ,and luster hangs from its breast. The bird shares^ with the Kohinoor the superstitious regard of the Hindoos. W hile the Uma folds its wings in the castle on the Thames, and while the Kohinoor blazes in the* English crown,' there is nothing else to do but be as good subjects of King Edward as may be. It is the will of the gods. “Burned” by Cold. Initense cold, as is well known, burns —If we may use the term —like h e at If a “drop” of air at a tem perature of 380 degrees below zero were placed up­ on the hand it would have the same effect as would the same quantity of m olten steel or lead.

Sunday afternoon a drunken man created a ripple of excitinent and set the boys on the run to see the fun; but it was soon over aud so damage done. Why don’t somebody build some dwelling honses to rent. There are none to rent and there are people ■who want honses to live in,- bnild the honses; they alone will create the demand. Uncle David Howard died on Sunday the 12th, at his home near Dulins. He was oue of the oldest men in the county; he was about 90 years of age. Onr sympathy is exteuded to the family. Workmen commenced tearing down the old Presbyterian church, that has done service for so many years, on last Monday morning. It is to be entirely removed and a handsome,medern structure erect­ ed in its place. A postal card from Mr. G. C. Patterssn, of Cooleemee, informs ns that his father ahd mother have both died within a week of each other, at Worthville, Ran­ dolph countv.

A very peculiar, as well as a very extraordinary accident occurred at the stables ol Mr. E. E. Vogler last Saturday night. Mr. Vogler had two mules that occupied the same stable, and by some means one caught the other by the tongue and held on with snch dogged tenacity that the eutiie tongue was eom- plety torn out. This was not only a very peculiar occurrence but also a very costl,y,one. Mr. W. A. Hendrixhasretnrned from a business trip to Virginia and different points in North Caro­ lina.

It seems that some people delight in paying taxes; and more taxes; or vhey would not be so tenacious for the party that increases them and squanders the money. If this is not so let us get • np a different set of legislators the next time. ■ We see The Record is making some very favorable predictions. We hope they will come true. The first half of this moon has been very favorable; we fear the iatler half will be different. This week is the time to plant early Irish potatoes. The peach bloom in this section seems to be very slow in develop­ ing; some of them look as if they might be frozen in the bnd.

The law requires me to be pres­ ent at one or more places in each township during the 1st 15 days of Mfirch, for the purpose of collect­ ing taxe9. This provision is for the convenience of the tax-payers, and I have complied strictly there­ with. I am further authorized and di­ rected by law to sell property of all delinquents after the 15th day of March. Since the ts^.es are due the 1st of September, this gives the tax-payers 7 J months in which to pay before any compulsory pro­ cess may be used. Section 95 of the Machinery Act, among other things, provides that I shall settle the county taxet on or before the 1st Monday in Feb., but the Commissionera may extend this time. - Section 99 provides that if I shall fail, neglect or refuse to settle, as above provided, I shall forfeit and pay Two Thousand, Five Hundred Dollars Tou therefore see that I am com­ pelled to collect these taxes within the next' lew days to protect myself and sureties, and. if the same are not paid I shall proceed as the law directs. This applies to you if you have not paid your taxes for the year 1904. This the 20th day of March 1905. Respectfully yours, J. L.

Vice-President Fairbanks's Ad­dress Betbre the Tar Heel Club M arch 22. 1905. Mr. Blackburn and Gentlemen of NoHh Carolina: This is a somewhat belated cele­ bration of Washington’s birthday. When I accepted your courteous invitation for the 22nil of last Feb­ ruary, I fully expeiled to fill my engagement, but the exigencies of public business prevented. I urg­ ed your committee to permit me to withdraw my acceptance, but they chose rather to postpone the ban­ quet u ntil tonight. I am more than repaid for coming by your mcst cordial greeting. There is some­ thing in Southern hospitality which the strauger within your gates feel that he is at home, or at least he i3 a welcome guest. It is well that the people of dif ferent portions of the country should meet- and mingle with each other, for the more they come to know each other, the less danger there is should stan d for those m easures w h ich a re w holesom e an d w hich ten d to adv an ce toi th e u tm ost d e ­ gree th e p n b lic w eal.

They should not be giv­ en over to meie time-servers, or to those whose allegiance is not first to the public welfare. Be good party men, but be patriots first of al’.. President Hayes very wel> ob­ served that, -‘He serves his party brat who serves his country best.” No occasion is inappropriate, where the American people are as­ sembled to contemplate 'tlie exam­ ple and teachings of George Wash­ ington. The study of them lifts us to a higher plane of patriotism. He was, indeed, the ideal American. Get Up a Club. To every one who gets up a club of 5 subscribers to The Eecord for one year, $2.50, we will give The Record one year free, .or*if you are a subscriber, will allow you a-com- mission^of 10 cents on ea"h 50 cents collected. Let our friends get us up some clubs and help The Rec-. oi-d as well as themselves. Stop aud Think. The Record is only 50 rents a year and it costs us over $40 a month cash to get out-the paper, and unless those who take the pa­ per pay us we will not- be able to keep it gcing.

If we.are inspired by his life and his precepts, we will not go far wrong. If ever the band of Providence was manifested iu the affairs of the republic, it was made manilest in ihe selection of George Washington to preside over the destiny of the nation during its for­ mative period. Washington warned his country­ men against some of the banel'jl influences of party. “ One of the expedients of par­ ty,” said he, “ to Ocqnire influent of employment have been opened 1 " 1,hm P ^en lard istrio tsisto mis- to her people.

It takes ™o-thirds. Tbe matter, however, Kmaina on the docket as business for the iieit Congress. It was a aSbby victory to say the least. Old Mn Morgan talked the thing out of time. ucatioual and s.wsial conditions; iu these higher walks which should most distinguish the State. Itseems as though she has been touched deeply by the spirit of improve­ ment. We facilitate ourselves upon the prevalence of a broad and genuine fraternal spirit among all our coun­ trymen everywhere. Old differ­ ences which once widely divided have faded away. O d enmities which grave misunderstanding eu- gendeied have happily perished Sectionalism, which imperiled all that we bold most dear, exists only »s an historic memory, and we glad­ ly acknowledge one country aud the supremacy of one hag. Jn God’s Providence, we saw our duty differently a few years ago We- see it the same today. We have faith to believe that never again will there be any eleaverage among the people of the United States upon lines pt latitude or long itude. We are co-sharers iu the glory won by valor ot those who went down to the field and showed the world the heroic .metal of AmerL cans. We are all thankful that He who prtsidps over the affairs of men preserved the unity ot the re­ public and wiped away forever the institution of human slavery. I was with William McKinley one evening at the beginning of the Spanish American war, when a lit tie gray headed, gray-bearded man greeted the President whose name, abides with us forever as a sweet aud preeions memory. The Presi­ dent received him cordially,' and said: “So you want to go to war, general?’’ “ Yes, Mr. President.” said he, ‘-Iwaut to go to war. -I ouce fought against the old flag, and I wish now, before I dj_e, to fight- for it. I love it and honor it.” The Presiden1 manifested his pro­ found appreciation of the patri >t- ism and the courage of the veteran who spoke and .promised to put up­ on him the stars of a major-general I in the army of the Union. He kept the promise, and the old Cpnfeder ate cavalry officer, .General Joe "Wheeler, marched away to vindi­ cate the honor of the stars and stripes. Gen Wheeler was.in that crisis but i type. Others who had fought against the flag, in the long ago, werj inspired by .the same' high purposs which actuated him, and well demonstrated the gratifying' fact of our complete soldarity, Republican government Fas or­ dained to promote justice; to se­ cure each and all iu the fullest possible enjoyment of equal rights and privileges under the law.

They tend to render alien to each other those who ought to s together by fraternal affection.” This utterance is well suited to our time, and we should carry it into the future. No section should be set against'.:section; no class against classj- np.race against race. We are not satisfied with our pres­ ent achievements rSVe geek a still higher and better destiny I Wliat the years before us shali bring lorth no one has the prescience to forsee. We face questions of vast jpith and moment, and the future holds in its keeping many which are beyond our vision. There will be much need to deal with them as theyariSa through the instrumentality of po­ litical parties. They must be iue‘. with an eye single to our country's welfare. They must be met so as to advance the fortunes of uo mere po litical party. They should be met in a manner only to promote iu the fullest possible measura the inter­ ests of all oui countrymen. Let us banish bigotry, put aside littleuess of spirit, envy and jea - oiisy. Theyhavefrequeutly play­ ed too large apartiu American pol­ itics. Let political parties be broad and chivalrie,generous and tolerant, so as to advance only those things which exalt mankind. Lift American politics to a high plane,- Let thesame ethics prevail in politics wich maintain in our indi­ vidual affairs. Let no man doin poli­ tics what a fine seuse of individual hon-.ir would not permit him to do in’the conduct of his own business. Wie often hear it said that in poli­ tics the end jnssifies the means. This is unsound. It is a totally perverted view of patriotic duty: Let ns have clean politics, qlean men and clean measures. Success achieved under a banner upon which shall be inscribed such prin­ ciples will be worth the having. It will abidp. Acy cither triumph is but temporary, and worse than de­ feat.We wish for all our fellow-citi- zeus, no matter where they reside, the fullest possible measure of bless­ ing which may flow from the polit­ ical instituti ms handed down to us by our fathers.

AU these having f ailed, as was inevitable, Russia now docs w hat she ought to have done in the first place. She acknowledges, in a semi-official statem ent from the Min­ istry at St. Petersburg, that the peace party "has won the Emperor to its side** iii the consideration of tenta­ tive terms which he would accept. It is now admitted that liberal compen­ sation can bo provided to Japan, al­ though iho Russian Governuicut still goes through the ridiculous form of as­ serting that it will not listen to “in­ demnity or cession of territory.” The pence party, lioweyer, is care­ ful to give out that Russia could turn over to 1ho victorious country the pro­ ceeds of the sale of! the Chinese East­ ern Railway; that a generous sum could be paid tor the maintenance of Russian prisoners in Japan; that Rus­ sian warships would be .surrendered us prizes of war, and that fisheries rights would be relinquished iu per­ petuity. Other concessions which Rus­ sia .would be “willing” to make in re­ turn for an early peace would be a iliminishment of the Siberian army for a stated period, a naval program satisfactory to Japan, a recognition of Japan's protectorate rights in Korea and a confirmation of .her territorial possessions of Port Arthur and the Liau Tnng peninsula, with the estab­ lishment of a neutral zone between the Mongolian side of China aud Siberia, the railroad from that point down to Port Arthur being under international ownership. AU these concessions, it goes without saying, must be made whether Russia “accepts” peace now or continues the war. And many of 'them, it may be sidded, arc in fact indemnities, what­ ever the Czar's Ministry may call them. But the indemulty is not suffi­ cient, and, we liave no doubt, will not bo allowed to. be sufficient by victori­ ous Japan. Probably the Mikado will exact no cession of Russian territory, 5n the sense of real Russian territory,, because it would be of no use to Jap­ an or to any one else. "What Japan has wished to do first of all was to put the Muscovite invader out of Ko­ rea and Manchuria, and this she has accomplished. W hat she has a right to expect, and will exact, is that Rus­ sia shall pay a heavy financial forfeit for her attack on and imperiling of the national safety of Japan, the in­ tegrity of Ciiina and international re­ lationships in the Far East. Russia can either acknowledge this obliga­ tion now, before Japan lias technically occupied territory that is strictly Rus­ sian, or she can blunder along for a few weeks more, until Oyama’s armies liave advanced into Siberian territory, and Vladivostok falls as Tort Arthur fell. The Kew Rugelan Loan. ■ St. Petersburg, Russia.—A prelimin­ ary contract was signed with a num­ ber of Rusian banks for the issue of §75,000,000 of the proposed internal loan of §100,000,000. The bonds bear interest at the rate of five per cent, per annum and are redeemable in fifty years. The issue price is 00. The successful conclusion of the in­ ternal loan of §100,000,000 at the emis­ sion price of OG comes as a gleam of sunshine in fin otherwise clouded sit­ uation. Of this amount the Govern­ ment savings lnink takes one-fourth and private banks and an underwrit­ ing syndicate the remainder. The internal situation in Russia is n source of continued apprehension. In the south of Russia workingmen and peasants already are .ioining hands, and from the Caucasus, Poland and other quarters encounters be­ tween discontented workersand the po­ lice. with fatal consequences are re­ ported.

ADDICKS AGAIN THW ARTED Delaware Legislature Adjourns Sine Die Without Breaking Deadlock. First Baltot Cast on February 8 and Balloting Has Continued Since That Date* ;___________________________________ I Cover, Ce!.—W ithout electing a Sen­ ator, although, tour ballots were taken and filibustering resorted to to continue the balloting^ the Delaware General Assembij adjourned sine die, and as a Consequence Delaware will not be fully represented In the United States Sen­ ate for the next two years. Senator J. Frank Allee retains his Seat, but John Edward Addicks failed to secure the other, While no agreement had been reached when the members, entered upon the filial joint session, there were hopes among ulnny o f the, members that a solution of the problem might be reached. It was intended by the Union Republicans to cast only one ballot; but when the first ballot had been taken and efforts were lnade to separate the Democrats, it was found that the regu­ lar Republicans had a scheme to pro­ long the balloting iu the hope of elect­ ing one of their number. Three more ballots were taken, all resulting the same, except that Repre­ sentatives Dingo and Vanderburg changed their votes from T. Coleman Du Pout to State Senator S. S. Peune- will. A recess of fifteen mintites was then taken. The Union men conferred, and, upon information that the Demo­ crats would assist them, went back into the joint session ready to move a separation, which was done, and the motion was carried, much to the cha­ grin of the Regulars and the Union bolters. Senator Peunewill, who was to have been the nominee of the Regulars and the seven Union bolters, became an­ gered at President Pro Tern. Conner Whell he recognized a motion from Sen- a tor Rose (Dem.) rather than from Representative Vnnderburg (Rep.), and made remarks to H r. Conner as be was leaving Representative IIaII which have caused a wider breach among the Republicans of Delaware. As linn! separation of the joint assembly was secured pandemonium reigned, many slioutiug for joy because Addicks again had failed to reach the goal. The first ballot taken resulted: Ad- dieks, 15; Dn Pont, 14; Saulsbary (Dem.), 13; Hughes (Dem.), S; T. C. Du Pont, 3. Total vote, 52; necessary to choice, 27. The balloting for Senator In joint session began February S. The first ballot resulted as follows J. Edw ard Addieks. Union Republi­ can, 22; Heniy A. Dn Pont, Regular Republican, 1»; Willard SauIsbury, Dem­ ocrat, 2; one member, a Democrat, ab­sent. Since then there have beep changes, the Regular Republicans voting for a week for Henry A. Richardson, of Do­ ver, in order to show their willingness to vote for Union Republicans other than Addieks. Seven of Addieks’ followers joined them.,and also cast their votes on va­ rious ballots for T. Celeman Du Pont, but the other fifteen Union Republi­ cans remained true to Addieks. PEARY’S SH IP LAUNCHED. Model Arctic Exploring Steamer Suc­ cessfully Christened at Bueksport1Me. Bncksport1 Me.—Commander Robert E. Peary’s arctic exploration steam­ ship, for which funds were furnished by the Peary Arctic Club, of New York, was launched here. She was named “Roosevelt” by Mrs Peary. The vessel was designed by Naval Architect William E. W inant, of New York, and is said to embody all that experience in arctic navigation to this date can suggest. Slie is described as “a tlircc-masted fore and aft schooner-rigged steamship with auxiliary sail power.” Iler prin­ cipal dimensions are; Length over all, 182 feet; beam, 35.5 feet; depth, lti.3 feet; mean draught, with stores, 17 feet; gross tonnage.

Pittsburg, Pa. - Two men were hanged here, and the first accident at the scaffold w as recorded in Alle­ gheny County. Reno Dardaia went to- tne scaffold first and his neck was bro­ken. IVilliam J. Byers followed him, and when the trap was sprung the loop of the noose pulled away, throwing him to the ground. For about one minute he staggered around under the scaffold, and then Sheriff Dickson caught him, and removing the noose and black cap carried him into the jail. H e was; not badly hurt as the result of the fall. The rope was again ad­ justed, and Byers, pale and trembling, was once more placed on the scaffold and the trap sprung. This time there was no mishap, and death resulted from strangulation. JuIes Verne Dead. ,TuIcs Verne, the author, died at Amiens, France, at the age of seventy- SCORES BURNED TO DEATH!

Over fifty are known to be dead, less tliau a score of these having been iden­ tified, while over two score were re­ ported among the missing. David Rockwell, the engineer who was iu charge of the boiler Whioii ex* Ulodedt died’ from his injuries. He had been detained by the police pend­ ing uu investigation of the accident. The explosion took place within an hour after the GOO or more employes at the factory had begun Wbrki it wrecked a section of the building find started a fire Which destroyed the ruins and spread to other buildings near by with great swiftness. It was reported that upwards of 200 persons were at work in tho departments near the boiler room, and the first indica­ tions were hrriily one cottla have es­ caped, The factory, a large foui'-story wood­ en structure, was- iu ashes within an hour. The flames extended to several dwelling houses near by, and to the •Dalilbnrg Block, across the street from the factory. These also were con­ sumed and other property was dam* aged. The money loss is estimated a t §200,000. Two houses were wrecked as the re­ sult of the explosion. The boiler was thrown in a northerly direction, and passed through the upper part of the house occupied by David Rockwell, the engineer, practically wrecking the dwelling, and, continuing its flight fell upon another dwelling? iOO feet further away? demolishing the struc­ ture. This house was owned by Mrs. Eflie IIood. The Grover factory w as located at the corner of Main aud Calmar streets, in the southern outskirts of this city. The building extended 100 feet along Main street aud 200 feet to the rear. In the rear of the main building was an Jj section, and it was In this part of the plant that (he explosion and collapse occurred. The boiler was on the ground floor. TIie first knowledge Ol the disaster to outsiders was the roar from the di­ rection of the factory. People living near by looked out, to see a dense pil­ lar of suioke rising from the top of the building. A moment afterw ard flames started out from the mass of wreckage and quickly crept up and around the rest of the wooden structure, spread­ ing w ith-great rapidity. Most ot the persons iu (his part of me factory es­ caped, although many were injured iu the panic which followed the ex­ plosion. When the employes who were at work in the main section of the plant escaped from the buildiug, they circled quickly around to where the explo­ sion occurred, aud there succeeded in rescuing many persons from under­ neath wreckage who, without assist­ ance, would have been unable to get clear of the heavy timbers, and who would undoubtedly have perished when the flames nwept across that part of the plant. A series of alarms summoned all the fire apparatus in the city to the scene, and aid was also sent from nearby places, mostly shoe manufac­ turing towns. The firemen experi­ enced great difficulty in fighting the flames, as the Grover factory was of wood, and nearly all the floors were saturated w ith oil. The flames ex­ tended to the Dalilburg Block, a four- story wooden building on tlie oppo­ site corner of the street, and to a num­ ber of wooden dwellings, half a dozen or more of which were destroyed. The Dalilburg Block was also burned. The Brockton Hospital was notified at once of the disaster, and hurried preparations were made to receive the injured, AU the ambulances, police wagons, and many street carriages were sent to the district, All the grail* able physicians and surgeons, in the city were sent up in hacks and by trob ley. Mayor Keith, accompanied by Med­ ical Examiner A, E. Paine, stood by the ruins while the fragments of the bodies were being removed. The bones were placed in boxes as fast as they were taken out, and driven to a tem­ porary morgue. The work proceeded slowly, as the ruins were so hot that no one could venture into them. At the request of Mayor Keith cler­ gymen of all denominations assembled in the Aldermanic chamber at the City Hall for the purpose of arranging for a public service for the victims.

The massacres of ICishineff and Gomel were child's play in comparison. Over iOOO ChristifinS; ineii; women dfld chib drefi?

The victims were siiob stabbed or burned t» .death; their eyes gouged out and otherwise mutilated; All this hap­ pened iii the presence of the police force, fi regiment of infantry and sev­ eral squadrons of Cossacks and the Governor, Prince Nakashidse, who were unmoved oulookers for three days. The officers and troops amused themselves while the slaughtering was going on.

Lahiyeff, with his old wife and neplieiy, escaped to the cellar* b u t’were found find cm* eliy tortured; their eyes being pierced. The military interfered only when resistance was offered by !the Chris­ tians, and then the Cossacks helped the Mohammedans to beat the Christians. The wells are still full of corpses. Reuter quotes the Petersburgkiya Viedomostl for the following account of the massacre fit Baku! From 0 o’clock In the morning of February 20 and frOm iioon on February 22 a mas­ sacre Without precedent and quite un­ expected took place in the streets and public squares at Baku. The Tartar in­ habitants. armed to the teeth; attacked the Armenians, Wlio were unarmed tttid defenseless? ami pitilessiy massa­ cred tiieiii? without distinction of rank, position, fige or sex. The panic was general. AU the shops and places of business were at once closed, bat the owners of them were shot down. A sort of torpor, which it is impossi­ ble to describe, seemed at first to have taken possession of everybody, There appeared to be nobody to take the de­ fense of the unfortunate people. The soldiers did not attem pt to disarm the fanatical murderers? who hunted men like wild beasts? killing them by hun­ dreds: It was iii vaiil that the defense­ less inhabitants implored the Governor by telephone to send help. The reply was always the same, “Xo Cossacks; no guard.” It was equivalent to the verdict: “Die, since tbou art taken.” The bodies of men, women and chil­ dren and horses were lying in the streets and squares by dozens, by hun­ dreds. There was no one to take them away I The authorities remained, inactive. Blood flowed iu streams, aud every­ where the criminal apathy of the au­ thorities was the subject of universal indignation. The m assacre. lasted al­ most three days. Toward noon on February 10 a Tartar entered an Armenian church and be­ gan to fire on an Armenian soldier. The police officer who was present ar­ rested him, but afterw ard set him at liberty without disarming him, and shouted to the crowd: “Kill him. or he will kill you all.” In saving himself the criminal fired on the crowd, one of whom ran after him and killed him. This seems to have bem the sigual. In all no fewer than 10,000 cartridges were expended. Tlve Armenians were not armed, and any of the young people from Balak- hany and the Biack Town (engaged in the exploitation of naphth.. and in fac­ tories) who had r> Ivers were dis­ armed by the guard.? posted cn the road from Balakhany ai.d t ve Black Town or were not permitted to enter the town. In a word, the unfortunate Ar­ menians were left to their fate. Peace was only restored ou the third day to­ ward noon. For the most part Armenians were killed, but the stray bullets struck Rus­ sians, Georgians and Jews Indiscrimi­ nately, A telegram from Erivasi (Trauseau- casig) says an affray took place be­ tween Mohammedans and Armenians there, §ojpe persons were killed, KEW UPRISING IN RUSSIA.

According to the latest information, the attack on Baron von Nolken was the result of an elaborate conspiracy of the revolutionary party. Shortly before 8 o’clock tonight, an elegantly dressed man went to the police sta­ tion at Praga, a large suburb of W ar­ saw, on the other side of the -Vistula, and threw a bomb into the court yard of the station, wounding Seven per­ sons, two of them dangerously. The man started to run away, but was caught by the captain of the station. He Was found to be a Jew, but his identity has ndt been discovered, A telephone message was immediately sent to Baron von Nolken, at the city hall, informing him of the outrage. Baron von Nolken, accompanied by a paliee official, took a can'iage and started immediately for Praga. W hen passing the castle where the Gover­ nor General resides, a m an standing On the pavement, threw a bomb at the carriage. Baron von Nolken, Who Was Sitting oh the side nearest the hssailant, received the full charge of the bomb, while his companion es­ caped unhurt. The coachman was thrown from the box and the Carriage was smashed. Bacon von Nolken was removed to the city hall and doctors were sum­ moned, who found he had received injuries which are believed to be seri­ ous on the head, the right arm and leg. Meanwhile the police official ac- cbinpanyiiig Baren volt NolKen saw the bomb thrower fleeing, and pursued and caught Up with him, but the crim­ inal proved stronger and tore himself hwhy. Another policeman fired twice aftei- him without result. H alf an hour latei- h fflan was foufld defid in Sowia street, whom the police believe to be the bomb thrower. The police think the man shot himself to escape arrest. Would Refuse O ft. Columbus, O,, Special,^R ev .

And the people of the United States have a tremendous battle on their hands witli the corporation’s greed, which has entrenched itself In this strong­ hold, and has learned to use the rail­ ways for the oppression and spolia­tion of the people. “And now, on the eve of this battle, they are asked to accept a great gift of money from the man who, more completely than any other, represents the system they are summoned to fight. I “I hope they are not mean enough to take this money and then turn around and fight him. I hope they are not so faithless to their obligations as to take his money and shut their mouths or become his apoligists. “W e do not want this m an’s money. To accept it will be to work the con­ tem pt of millions of honest men; to reject it will strengthen our Church in the affection and respect of millions who are inclined to doubt whether the Churches love God more than mammon. “Our mission will be richer and stronger without it than with it, and we shall lose nothing by our loyalty to the things unseen and eternal.” ’ I HIWS III ITIS Occurrences of Interest in Various Parts of the State.

I there­ fore urge you, before endorshing an application for reward, to look care­ fully into the case and see w hether in your judgm ent proclamation should be issued. Sheriffs, deputies and con­ stables should he able to apprehend any criminal in their own county, and should see to it-that if the person is a fugitive in another county, a capias be issued to that, county and the arrest be madd, Also, if they can locate fugitives in another State, they should a«K the authorities of that State to apprehend find hold the criminal until I can make requisition, It is getting-too common, for them to take things quietly and ask for rewards, when, by diligent search and inquiry, this cost to the State m ight be avoided.

The Governor declines to grant a pardon to John Stevenson, who was convicted of retailing whiskey without license in Guilford county, iu other words operating a blind tiger. The Governor has a very great dislike for this particular crime and thinks it a very low sort of business. He made the comment that he believed more convictions of crime resulted from blind tigers than any other cause and that a man convicted of operating such a place would have to bring very strong petitions in order to secure a pardon from him. His view, that the illicit sale of whiskey is the ground­ work of most of the crime In the State is held by not a few observant people, G reat efforts were made to get Stevenson pardoned. His wife, came here and made a pitiful plea to the Governor. The latter says he does not w ant to be hard-hearted, but that his belief is too m any pardons are granted.

Season «I Voar W hen New Influences Begin to DoiuiuateAinerican Finance. Kew York C ity—It has become a comnibnphiee. in discussing a financial situation in the opening months of a year, to say that until the spring months arrive, with the seasonable “crop discussion,” markets move rath­ er on the basis of w hat has been than of w hat is to be. This is as, true of w heat as it is of stocks, and in consid­ erable degree it is true of cotton. In the stock m arket there are years when a special stimulus is imparted to val­ ues very early by events independent of harvesting conditions. Some time in March or April there are very apt to arise developments which promise to give a new turn to the markets. Sometimes this govern­ ing force is connected with the money market, which is likely to betray its real condition in th at month. More of­ ten it is an occurrence independent of bank statem ents and interest rates. Imports Reach Record.

Congregational Ministers Oppose Gift of Standard Oil Money. THEY RAISE A MORAL ISSUE Urge American Board Far Foreign Missions to Detfiine Uonation ISecause John I>, Rockefeller SfanUs ISefore IIie Fnblie For 'tMctliods W hich Are M orally Iniquitous.** Boston, JIa ss,-John D. Rockefeller's money is not w anted by the Congrega­ tional m inisters of New England. It Is, from tlieir viewpoint, unholy, and its use by the church is decried. This vigorous indictm ent of Standard Oil’s crimes is made iu a protest Iiled with the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign JIissions against the ac­ ceptance by the board of a gift of $100,000 from JIr. Rockefeller. The protest w as signed by a committee cho­ sen a t a formal meeting, of clergymen, and the strong sentim ent of this meet­ ing is vigorously expressed in the com­ munication. "The Standard Oil Company, of which Mr. Rockefeller is the head.” says the protest, “stands before the public under repeated and recent for­ midable indictments in specific terms for methods which are morally iniqui­ tous and socially destructive,” and that “the acceptance of sucOi a gift involves the constituents of the board in a re­ lation implying honor toward the do­ nor and subjects the board to the charge of ignoring the moral issues in­ volved. To arouse the moral reproba­ tion of the general conscience and to direct it against specific offenses and offenders is the suprem e need of the hour. The church is the moral educa­ tor and leader of the people, and in or­ der to fulfill this calling w ith freedom and effect it m ust stand entirely clear of any complication in the evil it is set to condemn.” In conclusion the protest says: “ IVe, the undersigned, therefore pro­ test against any action by which our church may even seem to be compro­ mised, aud wo plead w ith the officers of the board to decline the gift or to return IW f it has been accepted.” Among the signers are Daniel Evans, Cambridge; Edw ard F. Sanderson, Providence, H. Ir; George H. Uutter- son, Derry, N. H .; N. Van Der PyI, Marblehead, JIass.; Ruen Thomas, Brookline, and Jam es S. Williamson, H averhill. W hen the committee appeared before the Prudential Committee the minis­ ters’ protest was supported by the com­ mitteemen, by argum ent and state­ m ents of facts, and the action of the Americau board was defended by sev­ eral clergymen. TIie discussion lasted over two hours, and at its conclusion the Prudential Committee held an executive session. At its adjournm ent Dr. Barton made this statcm eut for the Prudential Com­ m ittee: “A memorial of protest regarding the Rockefeller gift of $100,000 was pre­ sented to file committee by live gentle­ men. and a lengthy discussion ensued. 'Tlio conference was most pleasant and •without any friction or harshness. The ■whole m atter was thoroughly aud dis­ passionately debated on both sides "from the standpoint of principle as •well as policy. ' “The memorial will receive a full and !thorough consideration on the part of the Prudential Committee, which will fender its decision in due time.” The specific objects to which the Rockefeller gift is to be applied are five educational institutions in Japan, Turkey, Bulgaria, India and Ceylon, and the publication work of the board :iu Turkey. If the commissioners heed the pro­ te st it will put a religious organization on record as against taking money m ade by adjust monopoly, and it will further act as a silent indictment of any body which hereafter accepts Mr. Rockefeller's donations. The Rev. Jam es S. Williamson, of Haverhill, one of the signers of the protest, made public the following comment on the situatiou: “Mr. Rockefeller in his social life, Umong-Iiis friends and neigh hors, may be a very genial companion and an able man. In the immediate circle of bis family he may be faithful, pure, •upright and loving, but JIr. Rockefeller Js president of a corporation which, in its business methods, stands con­ demned by the best thought of the re­ public ns an enemy of its life—in com­ m ercial life an evil monstrosity, Sn civic ilfe social dynamite. “Till he repents sufficiently of the past, by either reforming or leaving the said corporation, and making resti­ tution so far as that is possible, the GIiristian church had better ask him to keep his money," and all of the con­ version of the heathen abroad to tarry till we can send the message of light and love by power not publicly con­ victed of crime. "The Standard Oil Company is con­ demned before the world as a danger to the country, as a crusher of competi­ tion, steeped In iniquity and indicted before the eyes of intelligent and free thinking people. It is not the way of the Christian church to convert the Jieatlieii with money robbed from tiie people. The Standard Oil Company is so conspicuous before the people for Its corrupt methods th at the money offered cannot be considered clean, aud if it is soiled we do not want it.” Sheep Exportation.

In the six years of the country’s greatest prosperity, from 3897 to 1903, average prices of breadstuffs advanced CS per cent.; meats. 28.1 per cent.; dairy and garden products, 50.1 per cent., and clothing 24.1. All these were products of the farmer, and stockman, who profited more than any other class of the community by these advances. The miner benefited 42.1 per cent, by that advance in the average price of metals. The only decrease iu Ihe aver­ age prices of commodities in that pe­ riod was iu railway freight rates, which decreased from .798 per ton-nvile In 1S97 to .703 In 1903, a loss of 4.4 per cent. The report of the Interstate Commerce Commission shows that the average increase in the pay of railroad employes in that period was a tyifle above 8.5 per cent. COMMISSIONER GARFIELD’S REPORT I t is Fouad to Be Favorable to the Great Fackerx, The report of Commissioner of Cor­ porations Garlielil on ilie beef indus­ try, after about eight mouths’ inves­ tigation in Chicago and elsewhere, shows that there has been an enormous amount of exaggeration in the state­ ments that have appeared for some time past in regard to the beef busi­ ness. Tiiis investigation was set on foot by a resolution of the House of Representatives adopted March 7,1901, and the ascertained facts after a most rigid examination of the methods and general conduct of the business are contained in a report covering 30S pages. Its figures aud tables conclu­ sively show that the popular belief in enormous profits made by the largo packers, such as Armour & Co., .Swift & Co. and Nelson Morris & Co., and in the exclusive control of the busi­ ness which many think-they enjoy, is really without foundation. The report made to President Roose­ velt by Commissioner Garfield is real­ ly the first official statem ent of the ac­ tual conditions of the beef business that has been made, and as all the .con­ clusions arrived at are based, as shown by him, upon data officially obtained, there seems to be no reason why they should not be regarded as .reliable and in all'respects trustworthy. " This report shows why the price of both cattle and beef advanced to the highest level ever known after the short corn crop of 1901, and states that because of the decrease in number of cattle and also iu decreased weight, “the high prices of beef which caused so much complaint among consumers a t this time wore attributable wholly to these abnormal cattle prices.” All the figures of the live weight and live cost of all dressed beef cattle were obtained from actual killing records, and all information of every kind ob­ tained by the Commissioner was volun­ tarily and freely offered by the pack­ ers, all books of record and papers connected w ith the. business having been placed at his disposal. To make certain that the results of the investigation should be absolutely accurate, the Commissioner states that a double method of ascertaining profits w as adopted, and, without going into detail here, it is found that the conclu­ sion arrived a t shows an average profit of 99 cents per head. The Commis­ sioner says “the close parallelism in the results of the two methods of as­ certaining the profits confirms com­ pletely the correctness of the general conclusions.” It is clearly established th at “W estern packers do not control more than half of the beef supply of the United States,” the conclusion of the Commissioner being that the busi­ ness done by them amounts to “about 45 per cent.” of the total slaughter of the country. The whole report is extremely inter­ esting and well worthy of careful pe­ rusal. As an official report it may be regarded as worthy of confidence, and it certainly leads the reader to the conclusion arrived at by the Commis­ sioner when he states that "the capi­ talization of none of these concerns is excessive as compared with its actual investment," and that from thorough and rigid examination of original en­ tries in books and papers to which he had access there was also “indirect evi­ dence that the profits of the packers in their beef business are less than is frequently supposed,” as shown by comparison between the total profits and the total amount of sales.

There can be no more terrible ordeal to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman than to be obliged to answ er certain questions w hen those questions are asked, even by her family physician This is especially the case w ith un­ m arried women. ' Is it any wonder, then, th a t women continue to suffer and th a t doctors fail to cure female diseases when they cannot get the proper inform ation to w ork on? This is the reason why thousands and thousands of women are now corre­ sponding w ith Mrs. Finkhonv, To her they can and do give every symptom, so th a t she really knows more about the true condition of her patients, through her correspondence w ith them than the physician who personally questions them. Ifyousufferfrom anyform of trouble pecnliar to women, w rite a t once to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., and she w ill advise you free of charge. The fact th a t this great boon, which is extended freely to women by Mrs. Pinkham , is appreciated, 1he thou­ sands of letters, received by her prove. Many such grateful letters as the fol­ lowing arc constantly pouring in. Ask Mrs. Pinkham’s Adyiee-A Mrs. EllaLee, Frankford, Ind.,writes!

Th© doctor finally said I never would be better, and would be ca invalid the rest of my life. I hod given up in despair, but one evening I came across one of your advertisements and decided to write you for advice. I did so and com­menced to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- ‘table Compound.

S. Koontz has started the workmen on his new house. The farmers are busy breaking corn and cotton land. Wesuggest that'the farmers plant more corn and less cotton. That is all the way the farmers can manage the price oif cotton. Some of the cot­ ton buyers think that it will reach 15,000,000 bales. If that be true the farmer has got to cut his cotton crop down to put the price up. So let every farmer raise less cotton and more corn. Pi.ow Boy. H S. K m K S E F j RECOMMEND 1TION. M r.

'Die law requires me to be pres- enfr-at one or more places in each township dnring the 1st 15 days of March, for the purpose of collect­ ing taxes. This provision is for the convenience of the tax-payers, and I have complied strictly there­ with. I am further authorized and di retted by law to sell property of all delinquents after the 15th day of March. Since the taxes are due the 1st- of September, this gives the tax-payers 7J months in which to pay before any compulsory pro­ cess may be used. Section 95 of the Machinery Act, amo::g other things, provides that I shall settle the county taxet. on or before the 1st Monday in Feb., but the Commissioners may extend this time. Section 99 provides that if Ishall fail, neglect or refuse to settle, as above provided, I shall forfeit and pay Two Thousand, Five Huudred Dollars You therefore see that I am com­ pelled to collect these taxes within the next few days to protect myself •tnd sureties, and if the. same are not paid I shall proceed as the law directs.
