Ilis latest efforts appeared in the llnuitttte Observer in defense of Gov. llobt. B. Glenn. W hen a Democratic official has to be de fended by Repulilicans through the press it looks like it’s a serious m at ter. We can some times pray to he delivered from our friends, and it seems that our Governor’s case is in that particular condition at this time. ____________ The scramble for a place a t the pie-counter by our Dem ocratic friends goes on a pace. A Con gressman and two or three others were killed in Texas a few days ago: all over offices. Two Demo crats got into a scrap about ten days ago at Guldsbero, Gov. Ay- WckV home, and one is dangerous ly, if not fatally shot: all for office. Iftiiey continue to -shoot each other Ioitheiiext three years, Eepnbli- taus may reasona-bly-linpe to carry Xorth Carolina and Texas. XOT ASHAMED. The Charlotte Observer is fond jdcriticising Tlie Record brand of ltepuUicaiiisin and in it’s issue of ,the 2Sth has something to say about a short piece which appeared in last week’s issue of The Record. Foi its information will say that the editor was not the author of thatpartic.ilar piece, but of course is responsible for it. W e m id the proof hm-ridl.v and paid but little attention Io it. The E ditor of the Observeris rigid about its being a Mn-partisan commission upon diieli Mt. Tonipkins served, and vr have no criticism to nmke of his acceptance of the position for . js 110 doubt a good m an.

A rich m an som etim es, as was the case of a certain m an in Federal conrt a t Greenesboro recently, gets off w ithout having to go to prison, b u t let a poor devil get ihto the Federal court and h e goes to jail as certain as w ater runs down hill. T his is not rig h t and th e commis sioner of internal revenue m akes a gross blunder when he agrees to such a course. T reatall alike and there can be no kick coining.— D a vidson D ispatch. T he above taken from the" D is patch, a D em ocratic paper, calls attention to th e discrim ination m ade in the courts, and one would infer th a t the Federal court is the • place where these discrim inations occur. Now we have attended Fed eral court for a, num ber of years and we do not believe th a t these unjust criticism s are true. Judge B iy d is governed by the law, and he generally, we think, m etes out ju stice even handed. TVhile the editor of the D ispatch is looking after the courts he could easily look into th e enforcem ent of the law s ini our State courts. W hat does the D ispatch have to say of the lax enforcem ent of the law in the Percy Jones case, down cast, a t W ilson we believe, w here a gang of lawless brutes broke into his room and shot him to ’death? The D em ocratic solicitor did not do his duty; nor did th e presiding Judge, when he allowed these m en to get off w ith a sm all sentence and due —a case ot burglary and m urder— two offenses punished w ith death in our State; yet, uot a single one of them was so punished. They were Dem ocrats, and E ed-shirt heilers and w.eut unw hipped of justice. D id the D ispatch offer any criticism of the court in th a t case or any other cases in our State courts, w here crim e-is upheld and guilty men go unpunished! If the Dem ocratic press of the Slate w ere as alert to look after their own of ficials in the enforcem ent of the law there w ould tie less crim e., and more respect for the law. T he Dir- patch is continually jum ping on the Federal court and Revenue of ficers, m aking charges w hich it cannot Snstaiu1Taboring m ightily to bring the Federal court into con tem pt and disrepute. W hy dou’t you act the p art of a good citizen in placing proof of ti e crookedness and crim inality of these officials before Judge B oyd’s conrt and sec if he and M r.

T he leading d ry goods publications of the U nited States have devoted editorials to w hat tliey call the m ost rem arkable instance of large resnlts from smaT beginning ever know n in th e Southw est. M r. Bai ty is in receipt of a large num ber of letters from leading d ry goods firins w anting an.explanation of his business m ethods as a lever for them to attem pt to follow su it. It was oniy the other day he received a letter from a leading Texas iinn requesting a tip as to how he did it. T be G azetteer does not pretend to understand how B aity has in so short a period risen to his present proud position. iD th e com m ercial w orld. W e 'would surm ise how ever th a t it is a good deal in I he rn.iu and his clean m ethods of doing -.business W hen B aity m akes a pledge he never breaks faith w ith the public.

T his is a striking exam ple of w hat has and can be done under a wise adm inistration of our N ation al governm ent; both of the B aitys are succeeding. L ab o rin g M en H ead. In the U nited States wages on an average are more than twice those of Belgium , three tim es those of D enm ark, G erm any, Spain aud and Italy and one and one-half those ot England and Scotland.— Exchange. F ■ R ead carefully the above and don’t forget th a t in the U niied States, under a protective tariff system as upheld by th e R epnbli can party, the labe ling man is get ting from one and one half to three tim es as m uch for his day’s labor as is paid in.these foreign countries. In Jap an laborers get 16 cents per day. Y et, yon are asked to vote the D em ocratic ticket, w ith its principles of free trade. Think over these tilings before you cast your next ballot for Dem ocracy. AUGVS TA ITEMS. A s there has not been any news from A ugusta I will w rite some, if it will be agreeable to our editor.

Og- den, P resident of th e Conference. Columbia, S. C., Special.—The Con ference for Education in the South opened its eighth annual session here Wednesday, with a large attendance of leading educators from both North and South present. The Ogden train, containing a party of Iadiesv and gentlemen from New York, Boston, W ashington and other Northern cities, arrived at 3:10 p. m., and the visitors are being entertained in various homes in the city to which they have been invited. The party numbers ninety-five, being educators, Jiterary men and women and business men interested in education. They came in on a special of ten Pullman cars, chartered by Mr. Robert C. Og den, of New York. The’members of th.3 party are his guests for a nineteen day trip to different points in South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia. During their stay in Columbia, they as well as the many hundreds of other visitors, mainly from the Southern States, are guests of the city of Co lumbia. a party consisting of the may or of the city, the State Superintend ent of Education, Editor Gonzales, of The Columbia State, two professors of the South Carolina College and several other prominent citizens of Columbia, m et the party at Hamlet, N. C., and es corted it into the State. Every train coming into the city brings from all parts of the South visitors to the con ference. The conference opened its first ses sion here with an address of welcome by Governor D. C. Heyward. The Governor said in part: GOVERNOR HEYWARD’S SPEECH. “Today throughout the entire South the schoolhouse bell is ringing. It rings from the university on the hill and it rings from the little school house by the roadside, and to you teachers who are present at this con ference from our sister States of the South and from every portion of our own State, I wish to say that in wel coming you I must also congratulate you upon the great work you have done. I believe that you have ac complished more during the past forty years along educational lines than has ever been accomplished by any peo ple in the same length of time. No people have ever worked so well or under the same conditions, and in your work you have been accorded loyal support by your people. In their days of poverty and in their days of prosperity the tax-payers of the South have' shown a willingness and a de sire to tax themselves to support the schools, not only for their own children —the white children of the South— but also for the children of anotder and dependent race. Though often misunderstood, they have never let their hearts fail them; they have never looked backward, but always forward, and today we can see in university and in college, in graded school and in common school, in better teachers and longer terms, a happy and prosperous people—aye, in smiling fields and grow ing cities, the result of their courage and determination. “In welcoming you to South Carolina , I welcome you to a State which has always had a deep interest in the cause in which you are enlisted. W ith us, the modem schoolhouse stands beside the college of a century. From the earliest history of our State our peo ple have prized learning and cultiva tion. Before the Revolution, "South Carolina sent her sons to Oxford and to Cambridge. Shortly after the Revo lution we began to build colleges and to establish public schools. The first library in America to be supported in any degree at the public expense was that established in Charleston in 1689. IMPORTANCE OP EDUCATION REA LIZED. mI am sure, however, it needs no ar gument to convince you that the impor tance of education in its highest sense * has ever been realized by our people. The facts that I have just cited that before we had colleges of our own we sent our sons abroad, and the further fact that almost within sound of our voices stands South Carolina College— over 100 years old—these will show the spirit that animated our ancestors. “As to what we are doing today for the sons and daughters of South Caro lina, I have but to point you to the number of colleges ot our State, and to our growing system of graded and public schools. The State supports W inthrop College for 1Women, and South Carolina College, the Citadel and Clemson for young men, and also a State college for negroes. In addition to this, each ^religious denomination supports one or more colleges which are doing excellent work. There are also many private colleges, several ot which are well endowed. Contributing to these is our system of graded and common schools. Our State constitu tion requires that the General Assem bly shall provide for a liberal system of free public schools for children be tween the ages of 6 and 20 years, and the constitution imposes an annual tax exceeding one-half of our entire State tax for general purposes. W ith us the fight to allow school districts to levy a special tax has already been won; it is incorporated in the organic law of the State, and we are now extend ing the battle lines to the various dis tricts, 400 of which have already exer cised this .prerogative. New victories are constantly being gained along this line, and within the next few years we confidently hope to greatly enlarge our army of educational progress. "During the past year we built 175 school houses, and we improved and equipped many more.

Ogden, presi dent of the conference* was delivered* ~ PRESIDENT OGDEN’S ADDRESS In the openint Mr. D gden spoke at some length of the objects and history of the conference. Although this con ference, he said, has no education body of authority, it yet has a VSry deep community of interest With the South* ern Educational Board 1 the General Education Board, and in 'a lesser de gree with the board of trustees of the Peabody- fund, and the board of trus tees of the Slater fund. These several boards are so thoroughly co-ordinated and sympathetic that every facility, created by any is at the command of each and the commonage of aim is so perfect that waste by duplication or competition is impossible. The work of these boards and funds having been briefly dealt with, the speaker spoke of what had been accomplished! . It is the leadership of the child that We fol low here, he said, inspiring this great company more than curiosity ^possible entertainm ent or social fellowship—is the interest of the child. And it was just the preparation of this pervasive influence that awaited the advent of the new movement for education which was unfolded in the triple alliance of the conference and the two boards. This movement came at the psycho- logical moment. Throughout this Southland, isolated and lonely, many able, thoughtful, well informed and solitary souls were brooding over the needy conditions of certain localities with "which experience has made them painfully familiar. And WiLh the per ception of nepd was associated a con scious helplessness and vague, indef inite hopefulness; or was this condi tion of mind solely confined to the iso lated and obscure? Men of large pub lic affairs, women socially prominent, were both equally anxious and sadly doubtful. Here a voice had been raised, there a little local effort had been started, and beyond this the pro phets were beginning both persuasion and provision. Then followed the awakening of the earnest and anxious thinkers. A strength of association was promptly creatcd. Symptoms of many sorts indicated the educational epiphany that has commanded the ad miration and respect of educators throughout the laud, the encourage m ent of progressive citizens, the in terest of statesmen. Certain facts may be briefly outlined. PROGRESS OP LOCAL TAXATION. Local taxation for education has made great progress, notably in Ala bama. South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee. The constitution of ihe State of Georgia has been so amended as to facilitate local taxation for schools. The increase of public appropriations both through States and the local tax. for education, has aggregated many millions of dollars.. Now school houses by hundreds, per- iiaps thousands* have replaced Others that were, lacking in comfort, space and equipment. Hundreds of inade quate schools have been consolidated and transportation® has been supplied to scholars that have been incommod ed by the changed.conditions. School term s have been greatly lengthened, the qualifications of teachers im proved, and compensation increased to meet the longer term and better service. Laws against nepotism in education l»avo been passed and thus a beginning has bcon made in the removal of a corrupt and debasing influence upon education. This is an incident in the divorce of public education from poli tics—an end most devoutly to be de sired. Perhaps the most encouraging single element of progress iB found in the formation of local and State or ganizations of citizens land educators ror the promotion of public interest in education. In the cities of Virginia large audiences of the best people bave been assembled by the commis sion to wait upon the teachings of men whose souls are awake to the needs of the children and whose tongues have been touched with the holy fire from the altar of public ser vice. Such meetings have been held elsewhere with success and power. R^t Virginia’s leadership is exception al in persistence and thoroughness. No doubtful Curiosity of suspicion lurks in the background; no academic seclusion, no intellectual superiority, bo cloistered exclusiveness now di vides higher from popular education in the South. . Other prominent educators made splendid addresses. The meeting was an eminent success in every particular. Second Day’s SeSstdrit The second dayTs session of the great iSdUcational conference was marked by exceptionally strong' ad dresses by notable speakers.

The announcement that $10,000,000 In United States Steel first mortgage bonds, bearing five per cent, interest, had been transferred to the Board of Trustees of the Pension Vnnd was made by Vice-President 1\ A. Vanderlip of the National City Batik, The boiids have a-m arket value Of $11s500,000 and will produce an an imal income of $300,000. The trustees are given fuil power to adm inister the fund as they deeni prop er and no distinction will be made as to race. sex. creed or color. Mr. Van- UerIlp announced that Mr. Carnegie had appointed him and Dr. Pritchett, President of the M assachusetts Insti tute of Technology, to prepare data for all educatioual institutions concerned, which will be iUbmited to the trustees at the first meeting, which will be held on November 15 next. Mr. Carnegie's letter to the trustees is as follows: “New York, April 18, 1905. “Gentlemen—I have reached the con* elusion that the least rewarded Ot all the professions is that of the teacher in our higher educational institutions. New York City generously, and very Wisely, provides retiring pensions for the teachers in her public schools, and also for her policemen, Very few, in deed, Cf oiir colleges are able to do so. The consequences are grevious. Able men hesitate to adopt teaching as a career, and many old professors whose places should be occupied by younger men cannot bo retired. “I have, therefore, transferred to you and your successors, as trustees, $10,000,000 five per cent, first mort gage bonds of the United States Steel Corporation, the revenue from which is to provide retiring pensions for the teachers of universities, colleges and technical schools in our country, Can ada and Newfoundland, under sncli conditions as you may adopt from time to time. Kxpert calculations show that tho revenues will bo ample for the purpose. “The fund applies to the three classes of institutions named, w ithout regard to race. sex. creed or color. IVo have, however, to recognize that State and colonial governments which have established, or mainly support univer sities, colleges, or schools, may prefer that tlieir relations shall '. -in ex clusively w ith the State. . cannot, therefore, presume to iiielude them. “There is another class which States do not aid, their constitutions ill some cases even forbidding it, viz.: sectarian institutions. Many of these, estab lished long ago, were truly sectarian, but to-day arc free to all men of all creeds or none—such are not to he considered sectarian now. “Only such as are under control of a sect or require trustees (or a majority thereof), officers, faculty or students to belong to any specified sect, or which impose any theological test are to be excluded. “Trustees shall hold office for five years and be eligible for re-election. Tlie first trustees shall draw lots for one, two, three, four or five year terms, so that oiie-iiftli shall retire each year. Kacli institution participating in the fund shall cast one vote for’trustees. “The trustees are hereby given full power to manage the trust in every respect; to fill vacancies of lion-ex- officio members, appoint executive committees, employ agents, change se curities and, generally speaking, to do all things necessary in their-judgm ent to-insure the most beneficial adminis tration of the funds. “By a two-thirds vote they may from tim e to time apply the revenues In a different manner anil for a different though similar purpose to that speci fied, should coming days bring -such changes as render tills necessary in their judgm ent to produce the best re sults possible for the teachers and for education. “No trustee shall incur any legal lia bility flowing from his trusteeship. Al! traveling and hotel expenses incurred by trustees in the performance of their duties shall be paid from the fund. The expenses of wife or daugh ter accompanying the trustees to the animal meeting included. “I hope this fund may do much fbv the cause of higher education nud to remove a source of deep and constant auxiety to the poorest paid and yet one of the highest of all professions.

FITZHUGH LEE DEAD Noted A rmy Officer and Statesm an Passes Away. Stricken TVltli Apoplexy on Train and Finally Soccnmhs in Washing*^ ton, Di C.i HospltaJi Washington, D. 0.—General Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia, died at the Provi dence Hospital in this city at 11.20 o’clock at night as the result of an at tack of apoplexy and paralysis with which he was stricken early in the morning while traveling by rail from Boston to Washington: : Generai Lee had been to Bostoii; Mass.. to advocate the representation of M assachusetts at the Jamestown Exposition in 1907, in which project he was one of the moving spirits. He left Boston apparently in his usual health. H e was stricken w ith apoplexy a t 3 o’clock in the morning, ju st after the train had left the Harlem Biver. New York City, the attack being followed by paralysis which affected his entire left side. A physician w as' taken aboard the train a t Jersey City. A t Piiiladeipbia 1 Pa,, he.gave place to an* other, Tvhd accompanied thfe General to Baitimdrei hid., where still another w as Summoned and made the trip to W ashington; The hew s of the General’s condition had preceded him to W ashington, and many of his army and personal friends were a t the Pennsylvania station to meet him. Fitzhugh Lee rendered his greatest service to his country during the Span ish W ar and the period that imme diately preceded and followed that epoch in American history. A t the outbreak of the w ar he w as in command of the Seventh Army Corps, and, though he did not See any actual fighting, took more active part in the Conduct of the military move* ments than any other Southern man, with the possible exception of General “Joe” W heeler. During the period just before the war General Lee, as Consul-General a t Ha* vana, where, though a Democrat, he had been retained by a Kepublicaii Administration, through his tact and firmness deserved so well of his coun try that his nam e will remain insepar able from that period of American his tory. A fter the w ar he became Mili tary Governor of Havana, and did val uable work during the reconstruction period In Cuba. Fitzhugh Lee was born in Clermont, Fairfax County. Ya., on November 19, 1835, and was sLxty-nine years old. A nephew of Kobqrt E. Lee, the famous Confederate General, and a grandson of General Henry E. Lee. the noted “Light Horse H arry” of the Kevoln- tionary W ar, he came from a family ot famous soldiers. But his ancestors had been prominent in the councils of peace as well as the councils of w ar ill their conntry ever since Colonial days, and Fitzhugh did as milch as any of his il lustrious forbears to shed Instre on the name of Lee. Following the traditions of his fam ily. Fitzliugh Lee became a soldier. After a rudim entary education ill tho local schools C his home town he en- terdd the W est Point Military Academy at sixteen. H e was graduated in July, 1850. Af ter drilling recruits for some months a t Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, he was sent to the AYestern frontier, where he was engaged in some spirited combats with the Indians in Texas. A fter his Indian fighting Fitzhugh Lee was ordered back to W est Point as an instructor in cavalry tactics. T’he outbreak of the Civil W ar found him serving in that capacity. H e promptly resigned and offered his services to the Confederacy. He served first on the staff of Gen eral Ewell, then as Lieutenant-Colone! of the F irst Virginia Cavalry, under General Stuart, whom he accompanied on his famous raid around the front of General McClellan’s army at Rich mond. Later lie was promoted Colo nel, and with this rank participated in all the campaigns of the Army of Northern A’irginia. A fter that his pro motion was even more rapid. . H e was appointed a Brigadier-General in July, 18(52, and a M ajor-General-a year later. I t was as a cavalry leader that Lee displayed the greatest courage and skill dnriug the Civil W ar. The very last stroke of the Army of Northern Virginia was tlio cavalry charge led by Fltzhugh Lee at Farmville, near Appomattox, oil April 8. 1805. A fter the w ar Fitzhngh Lee relnrned to his home ill Stafford County. Va. For the next few years,he applied him self to farming. Like the m ajority of the other great Confederate fighters he accepted the result of the w ar phi losophically and was ope of the first recognized, leaders of the Confederacy to preach the gospel of peace. “The w ar is over, let bygones be bygones.” was the doctrine of Fitzhugh'Lee. He spoke frequently in public in the in terest of recoiieilialion. ; H e was elected Governor of Virginia . Ju 1883. I General Lee was appointed to the I regular army with rank of Brigadier- General in February-. 1901. For a time I he was in command of the Department I of 'Missouri. H e retired for age from ■ the army the following March. I A widow and five children survive him. Two of the boys are army offi- I cers, ami two of the girls are wives of I arm y officers, while the remaining 1 child is a girl still In her teens. NORIH STATE CROF BULLETIN The O utlook as View ed by th e D epart m ent of A griculture: • The tem perature during the week ending Monday, A pnl 24th, averaged nearly two degrees dally below the normal, but the larger part of the de ficiency was caused by the very cool wefither dhring the early part of the tvdek; killing frosts with formation of ice occurred on the 17th, 18th and in northern sections on the 19th. Subse quently the tem perature rose consid erably, reaching maxim of over 80 per cent, on the 21st, and the condi tions became more favorable for the growth of vegetation. The amount of precipitation during the week was quite small, and was limited to light showers’ Friday evening in the Central and eastern portions of the, State; in the w est the entire week was dry, and the need of rain is begin ning to be felt. The soil, however, is In excellent condition for plowing, and farm work progressed rapidly. On ac count of the check caused by the ear ly cold the growth of crops during the past week has been rather slow. Planting com is now being pushed vigorously and may now be consid ered general Sver the State; ifi some southern counties all the upland corn has been planted, and the preparation of lowlands is under way-. Some early corn was cut back by frost, and re planting is in progress. The planting of cotton is proceeding very slowly, though a fair quantity was put in the ground during the week; all evidences point to a considerable diminuation in the acreage to be planted. Tobacco- plant beds are in fine condition, and the plants though still small appear to be growing nicely and will be plen tiful; a little tobacco has been set in extreme southern counties. Wheat, oats and rye have generally made con siderable improvement during the week; spring oats whore up are doing nicely, but tbvjr are slow coming up in the west. Replanting truck crops that were cut down by frest is pro ceeding rapidly. Irish potatoes are being planted in the west and cab bages set. Melons are coming up nicely since the frost. The shipments Cf straw berries are increasing. In regard to the damage caused by the killing frosts of the 17th and 18th, a large num ber of the special reports received indicate that the damage to fruit is much less than at first thought. In low ground almost all fruits were killed, but on all uplands and sloping surfaces perm itting drainage of the cold air to lower ground, while the damage especially to peaches is con siderable, fair crops of all fruits were left on the trees. Cherries, plums, pears and apples were not so much injured. These fruits were top well set ahd large in the east to receive much injury and the greatest damage probably occurred along the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge. Of the truck crops Irish potatoes, and beans were quite generally cut to the ground, as were unprotected tomato plants; the injury to peas, cabbage and onions was insignificant. The injury to strawber ries was much less than anticipated and will only have the effect of delay ing'ripening to some extent. A little very early corn and cotton were cut down, and In places slight damage was done to w heat and clover. ’ F. G. Bigeion; Trustee of Estates. I t developed that Frank G.

Goldsboro, Special.—About 9 o’clock Monday night there occurred one of the most sensational shooting affairs that Goldsboro has ever witnessed. One of the m ost prominent citizens of the town, Mr. Arnold Borden, was shot twice by E. L. Edmundson, also a prominent business man. The shoot ing took place in front Cf the railroad waiting rooms and was witnessed by a number of people who were crowding the street just at the time. The trouble grew out of personal differences. Mr. Edmunson is in cus tody. Mr. Borden wa 3 taken to the office of Drs. John and W illiam Spicer, where his wounds, were examined. It was found that he was shot just be low the nibble on the right side of the breast and at this time it is feared that his wounds are more serious than at first thought.

John W. Glenister, of Providence, R -1., champion long distance swimmer of Amer ica, has performed notable feats in this country and England. He has used Peruna as a tonic and gives his opinion of it in the following letter: New York. The Peruna Medicine Company,Columbus, OhioT 4 Gentlemen—“This spring for the first titne I have taken two bottles of Pe- #-una, and, as it lias done me a great deal of good, I feel as if I ought to say a good word for its worth. “During the Springtime for the last-few years, X have taken several kinds o f spring tonics, and have never received any benefit w talever.

G LEXISTER. A THLETES realize the importance of keeping in good bodily trim. _ The digestion must be good, the circula tion perfect, sleep regular and enough of it. If the slightest catarrhal condition of lungs or stomaeh is allowed to remain, neither digestion nor sleep will be strength- sustaining. Those who lead vei'y active Hvesf ItJcs athletes, with good m uscular de velopment, find the spring months especially trying. Athletes everywhere praise Peruna be cause they, of nil men, appreciate the value of a tonic that dispels physical depression. The vocation of some m en m ay al low them to endure the depressing feelings incident to spring weather, but the athlete must never all >w him self to get i4under the weather. ** He must keep in the “pink of condition” all the time. . In order to *do this he must avail him self of a spring tonic upon which he can re'y. Therefore athletes are especially friendly toward Peruna. Peruna never fa ils them. S i N orth S tate News.

Two years ago the L egislature passed a Jlaw for U nion county w hich provides th a t when as much as a q u art of liquor is fonud in the possession of any citizen it isprim a facie evidence th a t he is engaged in the sale of liquor, and the burden is on him to show th a t he is not. A ease involving the constitutionality of this law was before th e Suprem e Court a few days ago and a m ajority of the C ourt sustained the law . Ju s tice Geo. II. Brown, who is a very able law yer, dissented, and in con cluding his opinion, sa y s:. “ In conclusion, I m ay say th a t I sym pathise deeply' w ith all legiti m ate efforts to extirpate the illicit traffic in intoxicating liquors, and will be found sustaining all such law when w ithin the legislative power, b u t I cannot conscientiously assent to laying the judicial axe to the m ost valuable and sacred of all the luudam eutal rights of civil lib erty, viz: the legal rig h t to be ad judged by the court innocent unless the S tate has offered evidence tend- iug to prove th e commission of a crim e T he citizens of U niou coun ty are as m uch entitled to th e pro tection of the organic law in the prosecution of any and all offenses as are other citizens of the State, and when it is deuied to them , as it is in this statute, they are denied the equal protection of the law of the laud and are a t the mercy7 o f ca pricious and uncertain jurors ” O f course Judge Browh is right, and th e people of K orth Carolina will one day place their num ber ten’s down upon a few things which have transpired in this State d u r ing the past few years. W e have no quarrel w ith the people of U nion county if they pre fer prohibition, nor w ith any sen sible efforts to enforce the law. That is their business. 2>ut, of course, the people of U nion county did not ask lor, nor expect, the passage of th at law . I t is only a p a it of the well laid scheme of cer tain politicians to place this State under the South Carolina curse—a State D ispensary law —and the in evitable graft. T he people of K orth U aiolina arc getting a surplus of cranky legislation, and also’, of Su prem e Court m ade laws. I Iito r miss, the carnage of legislation and • decisions” goes on. T he "pow ers” th a t he do not hesitate to give far more than we ask for or earCior. Bi eity slou we will have a law w hich will convict a m an if he is fouud w ith more than ten pounds of salt in his kitchen. W hy? T hat will be considered prim a facie evi denee th at he intends to steal pork and salt it down. A nd such law would be just as sensible as the law regarding liquor, for the Coustitu- Iiou gives a m ah the ,same rig h t to' have a quart, gallon, bjirrel or any other quantity of liquor in his house provided he buy s it and pays for it; ud we hold th at no legislative or udicial body has any m oral right under the C onstitution to invade the privacy of a home, or to curtail the privileges of any citizeu who m ight be found carrying or h au l ing w hiskey or any other commod ity on the highw ays of the State.' I t is well for legislators ,aud ndges to be on th e side of temper^ auce and m orality. B ut tem per anee aud m oral lectures fired into the higher grade of anim als known as m en, in the form of arbitrary law, from legislative aud “judicial big guns,” w ill never prove very effective. They dam op the stream foi a tim e, b u t sooner or later the dam will be sw ept aw ay and the current will ru n stronger than ever. U nfair law s and injustice and cruel adm inistration of them has m ade 90 per cent of the people of Russia law -breakers and law -katers. In tem perate tem perance law s will surely bring about a sim ilar condi tion in K orth C arolina and Justice Brown does the S tate n> service iu sounding a note of w arning in his dissenting opinion.—R aleigh E n terprise! - T hreatened w ith Law Suit.

CLOSING SCENES ATTHE CAPITOL lis t of M easures W hich W ere P a.eol and Forestalled l>y the Lflghlntlre JIoilIeR-New Fork City's Flclity Cent Gas Boes Not Get Through—Many Floral Offerings. - ’Albany, N. Y.—Both bouses of the Legislature adjourned without date at 2 o’clock in the afternoon. Because the case of Supreme Court .Tustice ■Hooker is still pending they will come hack probably within a month and sit for an extended time. In former years the resolution for adjournment provid ed that all business must be transacted by 12 o’clock. That, however, w as a farce, as the Legislature never ad journed at that hour. In order to make the transactions legal the clock was stopped so that it registered 12, al though the hour might be 2, 3 or 4 o'clock. This year the Legislature provided for adjournment at 2 o'clock. The closing day was noted for the numerous floral offerings in the two houses, many members’ desks being adorned with flowers. Several bills which have attracted attention because their passage was greatly desired by private interests failed to get through the legislative mill. Among them were the following: The Niagara, Lockport and Ontario I’owcr Company bill, giving the waters of the Niagara River and placing prac tically any plot of land in the State at the service of a private corporation. This billjinssed the Senate. A bill of Senator Raines, supposed to be in the interest of the New Haven Railroad, authorising the construction of a spur or connecting road from Wil- liamsbridge to Mount Vernon. The two WestchesterAssemblymen blocked the progress of this bill because they did not know whether their constit uents wanted it. The Rules Committee, by a vote of five to one, decided against reporting the Niagara bill. The request of fifty- seven members of the Assembly caused it to take tbis action. Among the bills which failed to pass were the one repealing the Savings Bank tax, the Committee of Niue's po lice reorganization bill and the three- platoon police bill. Several amend ments were made to the Excise law, designed to remedy abuses. The pro vision for pipe galleries in future rapid transit subways received the approval of both houses, as did the bill increas ing the terms of the Mayor, Controller and Borough Presidents of New York City from two to four years. Two bills went through, one increas ing the membership of the State Rail road Commission from three to five, and the other giving greater powers to the superintendent of the Metropolitan Elections District. After six hours’ fighting the Stevens committee’s bills were disposed of by the Senate in this manner: 1. The bill reducing the price of gas to consumers to 80 cents, voted on twice; first vote, 24 to 24; second vote, 25 to 23; necessary to pass, 26. 2. The bill reducing the price of gas used by New York City to 75 cents; passed. 26 to 22. 3. The bill creating a State commis sion to regulate and supervise the lighting business of the State; passed, 28 to 20. 4. The hill reducing the price of electricity used by New York City to 10 cents per kilowatt hour iu Manhat tan and 12 cents in Kings County; passed, 35 to 12. 5. The bill permitting New York City to use its surplus w ater supply to generate electricity; passed by a .rote of 38 to 13. 0. The bill reducing the price of electricity to consumers to the saine price as that established for New York City; passed, 38 to 7. 7. The bill providing for inspection of meters by New York City; passed, 38 to 7. The State Commission bill, the bill fixing a rate for gas sold to the city of New York only (not to private consum ers), and the bill permitting New York to utilize its w ater supply to generate electricity for municipal purposes were passed without change from the form in which they went through the Assembly. ; JA rA N CALLS ON FRANCE. AVants Government to Investigate Rus sian Violations of Neutrality. Paris, France.—The Secretary of the Japanese Legation, Kentaro Otchiai1 called upon Foreign Minister Delcasse with reference to the question of French neutrality. H e asked whether the administrative organization of Indo-China permitted of adequate sur- ,veillance of the coasts with a view of preventing contraband traffic. He added that the Japanese Government had received definite information that Ione^ ain irrentil P°rts provisions were still being embarked for the Russian squadrons. He requested M.

Chadboum, Special.— The straw berry season is in full blast here, and ;bc refrigerator chrs have given out. The situation is unique and interest ing, but deplorable. Thousands of Iollars of the finest sort of berries are rotting on the railroad yards. The At lantic Coast Line had contracted for something like 1,700 refrigerator cars Trom the Armour Fruit Express Com pany, and up to date have received about 500. That is the state of affairs in a nutshell. Since Monday at noon f20.0,000 w orth of berries have been hauled to the edge of town and dump ed into the river. Hundreds upon hun- Ireds of crates of the freshly gathered berries are perishing every hour. This is true in the face of the fact that 15 or more Northern agents are on the ground ready and eager to pay from 9 to .15 cents a quart for the berries delivered in New York and jther markets. The growers are gatlt- oring from 15,000 to 20,000 crates a day and turning them over to the station agent here. The Armour con cern. will be held responsible for the loss and up to date something like 5250,000 in claims have been filed. W hat is true of Chadboum is also true of the towns of Ward, Clarendon, Mount Tabor, Homewood and Rose- land, on the Conway branch. The Ar mour icing station is located here, but the cars go to those sm aller stations and bring the berries to Chadboum to. be re-iced. The congestion has affect ed the entire berry section ’of the State and the loss will be g reat Many of the pickers came here from a dis tance and made contracts with the growers for the berry season, and will not give up a good thing. This is the greatest straw berry section in the country. The fruit is of fine quality and large in size. The Coast Line is losing about $40,000 a day in freights by being unable to get refrigerator cars. The situation is serious and cTows more so day by day. No cars are promised before the middle of next week, and by this tim e the loss will have reached nearly a million dol lars. W ilmington, Special.—Although a considerable portion of the crop has spoiled on the hands of the railway company, and much of the fruit has been delivered on the Northern mar kets in bad condition in consequence of the refrigerator car famine in the strawberry belt, it is believed that we soon will witness at least a partial relief of the congestion, and that from now on there will be little further, if any, damage. One hundred and three cars passed through South Rocky Mount Saturday, and at least 125 are thought to have gone forward from the various points in the belt. The grow ers are advised by the association’s attorney, J. O. Carr, Esq., of this city, to continue to gather the berries and tender them to the railway company for shipment just as if the cars were on the sidetrack ready to move them, and to report any refusal of bills of lading. Attorneys and special agents of the Armour refrigerator line are throughout the belt adjusting all claims of growers as speedily as possible.

Mann, of the State’s prison, sent out to the judges of the Superior courts the State over a letter calling their attention to the fact that the department for the dan gerous insane is overcrowded, the capa city being 49 and 53 on hand—5 white females, 28 white males, 7 colored fe males and 13 colored males. Having more patients than can be cared for he is obliged to lock four white men and one colored man in the same cell each night. He says he knows this is contrary to the spirit of the law, but it is absolutely necessary to pro tect the lives of the inmates of the in stitution. The addition of any more patients will overtax the $5,000 appro priation. He says he feels it his duty to call the attention of the judges to this m atter for the reason that an ad ditional patient has just come in from Mecklenburg. A child of Mr. vCharley, who lives near Vashti, Alexander county, fell in to a spring Thursday afternoon and was drowned. The child was three or four years old, and the spring was a hollow log or gum set upon end in tbe water.

Asheville, Special.—The municipal election here was the quietest in the his tory of Asheville. Out of a total reg istration of 1,935, only 934 votes were cast. Of this num ber Alf. S. Barnard Democrat, received 736 for mayor, and Chas. W. Baird, his opponent, 198, giv ing Barnard a m ajority of 538. Baird was the candidate of the independents or citizens’ ticket. The entire Demo cratic ticket was elected. Francis A. Gudger, of the canal zone, candidate for police justice on the independent ticket, received the largest vote of any nominee of th at party. The proposition to levy an advertising tax of one- tw entieth of one per cent- received but 33 votes. W inston-Salem, Special. — W inston- Salem votes to issue $37,500 in bonds for the building of the proposed inter urban electric railway between this city and High Point. A t 3 o’clock Tues day afternoon the books showed that a m ajority of the registered vote had been cast a t that hour for the road. The municipal election in W inston- Salem was all one way, there being no contests in either town for mayor or aldermen. On this account very little interest was manifested by the voters. Really the two elections are probably the quietest ever held in the Twin City. Rumors were current that a mass meet ing would be held for the purpose of nominating a citizens’ ticket in W in ston, but it failed to materialize. North Wilkesboro, Special.—At the regular town election here the dry ticket won the race by a nice majority. J. L. Clements is elected mayor, E. M. Blackburn, A. R. Sherman, E. L. Hart, S. Q. Myers and A. A. Finley were elected town commissioners. The fight was a bitter one, in which much inter est was manifested, probably more than a t the election last November— The polling place was crowded all day long, and among the crowd were the minis ters of the city.

Salisbury, Special.—Major W illiam McKendree Robbins, who came here four weeks ago for treatm ent, died W ednesday afternoon at 4 o’clock at the home of his son, Mr. Frank L. Rob bins. Major Robbins came to Salis bury in the hope of being improved in health. Nearly two weeks ago he be gan to grow worse and there has been no hope for him at any time. For three days he has been desperately low and his death was but a momentary question. Major Robbins was born in North Carolina October 26, 1828, and was therefore in his 77th year. He enter ed the arm y from Alabama and was major of the Fourth Alabama Regi ment, one noted for its bravery. At the battle of the W ilderness Major Robbins was wounded May 6th, being struck in the forehead with a ball .and almost killed. Later he m arried Miss Montgomery, the daughter of a minis ter. she did not live a great while, and M ajor Robbins m arried the second time, his present wife being a sister of his first. Three daughters, a son, a sis ter, Mrs. Foust, who lives near Gra ham, and CapL Frank Robbins, sur vive the dead hero. In 1872 M ajor Rob bins was elected to Congress from the seventh N orth Carolina district and served three terms. Judge Armiield served two, and in 1882 Major RObbins was nominated for the fourth time. For the last twelve years Major Rob bins has been on the Gettysburg com mission, two N orthern gentlemen be ing the other members of the peace party. His great Gettysburg, speech in 1898 is well remembered as one of exceptional beauty and one of the finest arguments for the Confederacy ever made. In that superb speech he show ed by N orthern authority that se cession was not sedition, th at some Northern States entered the Union with the express covenant that it was tentation and not infrangible, and that if after trying the Union it was found unsatisfactory, w ithdrayal was in or der. He Showed that Northern and not Southern States voted for the 1787- 1808 slavery extension and proved Ibat the Union was a compact, not an in exorable obligation to stand as now. The death of this grand old man touches Salisbury very keenly. Grief is universal. Soldiers’ Home T rustees.

Gaesonable weather prevailed during the week Monday, May 1st, 1965, which was very favorable both for farm work and the growth of crops. W hile the weather was a little cool during the first few days the tem perature rose rapidly, reaching as high as 88 degrees, so that m ost of the week was warm with abundant sunshine; the mean temperature averaged over 4 per cent daily ahove the normal. Refreshing showers occurred on the 26th or 27th and 29th which were needed in most places and proved highly beneficial. In a few counties the rainfall was suffi ciently heavy to interrupt plowing to wards the close of the week, but gen erally just sufficient rain fell to keep the soil moist and in an excellent con dition. A few reports were received of severe local storms w ith hail in the northeast portion of the State (Chowan county). The warm, showery weather Was conducive to rapid germination of seed and the vigorous growth of crops of all kinds. • Farm work is still some what behind in some sections, but rapid progress was made during the past week. Crops showed marked improve ment, the recovery from the freeze of the preceding week having been quite rapid. A large quantity of corn was plant ed, and this work is well advanced towards completion; corn is coming up in good stands, and in southern counties the early crop is receiving itB first cultivation; lowlands have not yet been planted. Planting cotton is also proceeding actively, a large portion of the crop having been put in during the past week; evidences point to a definite intention on the part of farm ers to materially reduce the acreage in cot ton; about all the cotton has been planted in the extreme southern por tion; cotton is germ inating rapidly and promises good stands. Planting peanuts is under way. Transplanting tobacco has commenced in several counties (Pitt, Johnson, Columbus, etc.) the plants having made rapid growth and are healthy and vigorous; a scarcity of plants is reported from very few counties. W heat, fall oats, rye, as well as spring oats continue to make vigorous growth and are excep tionally fine in most of the im portant grain-growing counties of the State; wheat is stooling nicely. Grasses and clover are also fine, pastures are ex cellent and stock in very good condi tion. Large shipments of truck crops and straw berries are now going N orth dai ly; irish potatoes th at were cut down by frost are coming out nicely and look well; very few potato bugs are report ed. Gardens are being cultivated and are improving. Much fruit of all kinds appears to be uninjured and a fair or even large crop is reported. F arm ers' Institutes.

Naval officers are prepared to see Rojcslvenslty lose half his convoy, but in face of the united divisions it is believed that Togo will accomplish lit tle or nothing in the way of opposi tion to the advance to Vladivostock and that he must be content with the aid of the army, to try and invest by land and sea and make Vladivostock another Port Arthur. If the fleet reach es Vladivostock intact, however, naval officers here claim that victory is won. Although there is a little more than 100,000 tons of coal at Vladivostock, the re-enforcement of the fleet, by the Cromobio, Rossia and Bogatyr, and the torpedo boats and sub-marines now in the harbor there they claim that Ro- jestvensky could drive Togo off the sea and leave Field Marshal Oyama’s army stranded in Manchuria. Seizes Small Jap Vessel, Tokio, By Cable.—Four Russian tor pedo boat destroyers appeared west ward of Hoklcaiddo, off Subu, Saturday. They seized and burned a small sailing vessel and imprisoned the captain and disappeared to the northwest. They worn evidently returning to Vladivos tock. There is a possibility that they have destroyed other small craft, al though no reports to that effect have been received. The object of their visit is not clear. It is thought that probably they hoped to torpedo the Japanese patrol at night, and it is also suggested that the Vlad ivostock vessels planned a diversion to assist the fleet of Admiral Rojestven- sky. President Bids Farewell. Glenwood Springs, Col., Special.— President Roosevelt Sunday enter tained at dinner his companions on his three weeks’ hunt in the Rockies. Af ter the dinner, the President bade them an affectionate farewell and promised that all would live forever in his fond est memory. At the dinner were P. B. Stewart, of Colorado Springs; Dr. Alex ander Lambert, of New York; Guides Jacob Borah, John Goff, “Brick” Wells, Jt>bn Fry and G. M. Sprague; Courier Elmer Chapman, and Secretary Loeb. In describing the function, Chap man said: “We sat just as we did in camp. Mr. Loeb was the only duke at the party.” Veteran Publisher Dead. Mobile, AIa., Special.—Col. John Lawrence Rapier, president of the Register Company, died Sunday morn ing at 2:30 o’clock, aged OS years. Colonel Rapier fought with distinction in the Confederate service during the Civil War. He was the founder of The Mobile Times, which paper was later merged with The Register. He was a brother of Thomas G. Rapier, edilod of The New Orleans Picayune. He is survived by his wife, four sons and one daughter. Some Nevi Disturbances. W arsaw, By Cable—This city Sunday celebrated the name day of Empress Alexandra Feodrovna. The Socialist warnings not to display flags was gen erally-disregarded in view of Ihe he ivy penalties imposed upon householders who fail to decorate their houses on such occasions. This led to some dis turbances, angry mobs tearing down and burning flags at different places. Otherwise the city was quiet. Fatal Railroad W reck. Houston, Texas, Special.—A Galves ton, Houston & N orthern train, -com ing from Galveston, left the track at a curve near H arrisburg, shortly be fore midnight, the engine- turning turtle, and taking all of the coaches off. Engineer Frank Cox was cremat ed under his engine. Firem an Daane- ton is missing, and it is believed that ho was also burned. W hile several of the passengers were bruised, none were badly hurt. T he coaches were wrecked and caught fire, the train being near ly destroyed by fire. A spreading rail caused the wreck. First Train Over New Road. Dublin; Ga., Special.—The first train from Eastm an over the Dublin & Southwestern railroad reached Dub lin Sunday afternoon. The train con sisted of ten solid car loads of freight from Eastman. President Rents, Gen eral Manager Kissler and Superinten dent C. K. Renz were on board.' It will take a week or more to surface up the track. As soon as that has been accomplished, regular schedules - will be put cn between Dublin and East man. Pointed Paragraphs. Taxing bachelors may not boost the matrimonial game, but it is apt to encourage emigration. A fter reciting “Cerfew Shall Not Ring Tonight” at school a girl im agines she is a born elocutionist. Though too proud to work, many a young.fellow is willing to accept free board and lodging from his parents. Almost any girl can induce a young man to accompany her to church, but it isn’ quite so easy to persuade him to accompany her to the altar. Oeeam Steam er Sunk. ' Vineyard Haven, Mass., Special.—Th6 steam er Arahsaa, Captain Rood, of the Joy Line, wag sunk In a collision with the hafE® Glendower, one and a half miles southeast of Pollock Rlp light ship Sunday night. One life was lost. The Burvivors reached this port in the lifeboats of the steamer. The Glen dower was in tow of the Reading Rail road tug, bound east from Philadelphia. The Aransas sank alm ost immediately after the collision, but it is said that the tow kept on. Sixty-five , persons N beye, -I'"' ■ ,;/■ Poet’s Tranquil Evening of Life. Swinbourne, the poet, spends his declining years in tranquil pursuit oi the simple life, although it is doubtful whether the book or the fad has eves disturbed his peaceful retreat. A frienc rays of him that he lives in possessiot of his needs. “Bounded on all sides b] the best books, enjoying the close com panionship cf the truest friend evei given to a man of genius, and finding In a long walk at postman’s pace a full satisfaction for the body’s craving after exercise, he lives through ih« twilight of his days in a greater secur ity and under the spell of a deepes peace than he, knew in the boisterous dawn of his life.” A Hash I’ennnt. When the American cruiser New Orleans came into San Francisco Bay on January 27, on her wray from Guam to Mare Island to be paid off and go out of commission, she sported a home ward-bound pennant 550 feet long.

The railroads seem very willing to have the private car lines brought un der the jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission. A railroad President is authority for the state ment that lines are paid mileage, w ith out discrimination, and the question of excessive charges is a m atier for the shipper to settle with the car lines, so long as there is no law to govern their rates. Car mileage paying has been de cided to be as legal as the paym ent of rental for property. HOUSEHOLD ACCOUNTS. Keeping accounts may be a little troublesome, but it is quite worth while. Have just one book/ rather thick, that will do for everything. Turn the fiont part into a cash account. Open the book out flat, write down your al lowance on the left-hand page, and on the right put down -what you have paid the butcher, baker, etc.—every thing even to a postage stamp. Then once a week, or oftener, balance.. Bal ancing is nothing harder than sub tracting the total of the money you have spent from what you should have in cash. W hen you have been keeping ac counts for some time you will realize as you never did before what your money goes for. Keeping accounts is aelping you to make money, but It does help you to find’ out how to get the most for your outiay and how to balance your needs with your in come.—New York Sun. Znveatfsatlon of Ihe Packers. Very general interest has been mani fested in the Government investigation now in progress into the mode of con ducting business by the large packers located in Chicago and elsewhere. Much has been w ritten upon the al leged illegal and improper modes of business procedure connected with Ihe packing industry; but it seems that so far no definite charge of any kind has been sustained and no proof of illegal or inequitable methods has been dis closed to the public. W hile a wave of severe criticism of this great industrial interest is now passing over the coun try it might be well to remember that the packers have had as yeFno oppor tunity to make specific denial, the many indefinite charges of wrong-do ing having never been formulated so that a categorical answer could be made. The recent report of Commissioner Garfield, which embodied the results of an official investigation undertaken by the Department of Commerce and Labor of the United States, was a vin dication of the W estern packers, but this result having been unexpected at tempts In many quarters to discredit it Were made. In view of the situation as it now stands, however, attention may proper ly be called to a few facts that owing to popular clamor are now being ap parently overlooked. Fair treatm ent in this country has heretofore been ac corded to all citizens whose affairs as sume prominence In the public eye and some of the facts that hear upon the relation of the packers to the com merce of the country may at this time be' briefly alluded to. It would be difficult to estimate the benefits gained by the farm ers of the country result ing from the energetic enterprise of the packers, for whatever is of benefit to the farm er is a gain to the entire commerce of the country. And con nected witii their continuous aggres sive work no feature perhaps lias been more important than their efforts in seeking outlet^ all over the world for the surplus products of the farmer. Our total exports of agricultural prod ucts have gained but little in the past twenty years, andleaying out corn, the total of all other farm products was far less iu 19Q3 than in 1891. But in packing house products there was con siderable gain during this period, be cause an organized and powerful force lias been behind them seeking new and broader markets. Besides the benefits reaped by farm ers on account of the enterprise and energy exercised by the packers iu at taining commercial results by foreign trade, the great development in the manufacture of packing house by-prod ucts has added enormously to the value of all live stock raised in the United States. The waste material of twenty years ago, then an expense Io the packer, is Iiow converted into ar ticles of great value and, as an eco nomic fact, this must correspondingly increase the value to the farm er of every head of cattle marketed at the numerous stock yards of the country. Let these facts be remembered while now it is so popular to regard the great packing industry as deserving of condemnation. A t least it must be ad mitted that, so far, there is no ade quate reason for the almost unani mous IioIvI that may be heard every where in the face of the Garfield re port above alluded to which practical ly exonerates the packers from the ob scure and Indefinite charges that have been for some time past made the sub ject of popular comment. Kept Record of Rainfall. A Pittsfield man who makes his diary his hobby notes that not a drop of rain fell on the 31st day of any of the months last year. On every other day of the month some tim e during the year there was a precipitation. The record for the year shows that the total fall for the year was 36.G6 inches. This is about 10 inches un der the average. COFFfiE HEART. Very 1’lalil In Some Fssiils; ‘MT SAVED MY LIFE” HtMSE Fm I FlWS MEDICINE Mrs. W Uadsen Tells How She Tried Lydia E.

A great many people go oil suffering from annoying ailments for a iong time before tliey can get tlieir own consent to give up the indulgence from which their trouble nrises. A gentleman in Brooklyn describes his experience, as follows: “I became satisfied some months ago that I owed the palpitation of the heart, from which I suffered almost daily, to the use of coffee (I had been a coffee drinker for 30 yearsl, but I found it very hard to give up the beverage. _ “I realized that I must give up the Iiarmfnl indulgence in coffee, but I feit tile necessity for a hot fable drink, and as. tea is not to my !iking, I w as at a loss for awhile, ivJiat to do. “One day I ran across a very sensible and stvaiglitforward presentation of the claims of Fostnm lfood Coffee, and was so impressed thereby that I con cluded to give it a trial. My experience with it w as unsatisfactory till I learned liow“it ought to be prepared—by thor ough boiling for not less than 15 or 20 minutes. A fter I learned that lesson iiiore w as no trouble. Fosinm Food Coffee proved to bo a most palatable and satisfactory hot beverage, and I IiIave used it ever siiice. “The cffectjon my health has been most salutary .1 It has completely cured the'heart palpitation from which I used to suffer so much, particularly-after breakfast, and I never have a return of }t except when I dine or lunch away from home and am compelled, to drink the old kind of eoifeo because Fostiim Is not served, I flnil that Posttim Peod- Coffec cheers and invigorates while It produces no harm ful „■ stimulation.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Maijor Robbins is hardly cold in the em brace of death before our D em oeratic patriots begin to sciam ble over the office he held. T here are a t least S or 10 prom inent Dem ocrats ready to bleed aud die for the pie, to be dished out by a R e publican P resident whom they spent four or five m onths during last cam paign in abusing and de nouncing. J ndge A very, is being spoken of for the plaeo. M ajor Steadm an and six or eight other D em ocrats ate piuing for the jo b . W e cannot understand how a party possessed of all th e intellect, all the money and all the m oral a ttri butes aud respectability, can con descend to apply to P resident Roo sevelt for a job, b n t the possession of a piece of pie, oi the rem ote pos sibility, overcomes all obstacles, If this com m ission had Booker W ashington upon it, the same thing would occur. A p arty which has deprived Republicans of their offi ces a t the point of pistols and W in chesters; w hich has legislated them out of office, aud refused to appoint them on investigating com m ittees, shows unprecedented gall to con tend th a t it should have represen tation on this commission. W e are opposed to giving this position to auy D em ocrat, provided a compe ten t R epublican can be found in any of the Southern States. If not, and th e P resident decides th a t it should go to a D em ocrat w hy not recognize th at gallant old private, Cyrus B. W at6on. W atson is our choice if it goes to a Dem ocrat.

T he D avidson Disjiatch says: ‘•It is currently reported and generally accepted as a tru th th at there are from three to five illicit distilleries in alm ost constant oper ation in Boone tow nship, this coun ty. Revenue officers are in Lex- iugton alm ost every week, but one never hears of their visiting Boone tow nship, notw ithstanding the fact th at they have had positive anil re liable inform ation of the condition of affairs existing in th at tow ushipt W hy is this! Can you explain it?’ ’ T he C harlotte O bserver’s com m ent: W e have no idea why it is and hence cannot explain it; b u t take leave to suggest th a t while revenue officers are in Lexington alm ost every week, it is likely th a t D avid son county officers,charged w ith the execution of the S tate laws, are in Lexington alm ost every day; and if the facts abotit these illicit dis tilleries are as stated, they are no more to be acquitted of dereliction of d uty ,th an the revenue officers are to be convicted of it. T he op eration ot ,illicit distilleries is as m uch a violation ot theW attslaw .as it is of any Federal statute. If county officers do hot know this they should get down the acts of the Legislature of 1903 and read about am ongst the law s for a spell.

V arner down. T he editor of the D ispatch is a S tate officer, draw ing a salary, and it is his d uty to, a t least, be fair; b u t fairness to w ard R epublican officials is foreign to his m ake up. T he W atts law was passed by his prosperous today. party) anfl the| last L egislature, strongly Dem ocratic, passed a law requiring Sheriffs to cut up and destroy these distilleries. Now, why don’t M r. V arner sic Sheriff D orsett on these Boone blockaders? I t’s his sworn d uty to go to Boone tow nship and destroy these stills.

I knew Gen eral Lee personally—knew him to be a friend of my race—a friend to the hum ble and low ly. H e had a large, generous h eart th at went out in the interest of hum anity. H e was a w hite m an in all th a t word im plies—Southern-intensely South ern. B nt when called by the voice of a m ighty-people to fill the high est office in his State, he proved an ideal G overnor. H e was Governor of all the people regardless of race, creed, caste or nationality. T he institutions for our race, hum ane and educational received his hear ty support and encouragem ent. H is democracy was broad enough and deep enough to do even and exact justice to all. H e knew the negro well; knew his faithfulness and devotion to the wives and children of the Southern soldier, when they were following the “ Stars and B ars” from Bethel to A ppom attox—a devotion and constancy unparalleled in the an nals of h isto ry .' I was born a slave. I know all the hardships th at slavery entailed upon m y race. I am no apologist for slavery. T hank God th a t bond age th a t wronged and enfeebled both m aster and slave is gone, never to return, b u t deep down in my heart I thank the w hite m an for my contact .with him for Christian civilization th a t slavery brought, to my face.

H e was brave enough to be just, hum ane aud kind to the lowly. I today drop a tear upon his bier am i thank God th at such a man lived. Such men are the salt of the earth.

' ' ~ TAR HEEL CROP CONDITIONS W eather Cdnditionfi Given G ut by th e D epfirtm ent O bserver, The past week has.been exception ally favorable for the rapid germina tion Of seeds and the growth of vege tation, The tem perature , continued uniformly blit iiot excessively high; the m ean fdr the week beiiig about 70 de gree^ Of 3 degrees daiiy above the normal. Thd early portioii of the week was fair and sunny, but after the 3rd showers were frequent, keeping the air and soil m oist and highly fav orable for the growth of crops. Gen erally the precipitation was moderate !ft am ount find beneficial; but In a num ber Of cbUfitids ttig raiiis were fre quent find farm work was interrupted, as the soil was too w et to plow. Iv fi feW Wdktorfi Cdiffltiesi ndtably Madi son, Davie and W ilkes, heavy, wash ing rains, in some instances with hail, occurred on the 5th with considerable damage to crops and land locally. Rapid progress in planting and culti vating crops continued during the ear ly portion of the week, but was dis continued in m ost of the central and southern counties after W ednesday. In some sections on account of the very rapid growth of vegetation grass and weeds are beginning to be a little troublesome. Planting com continued during the week, especially Ofi Uplands ifi the w est; iOWlfinds are fit present tob wet to plant; corn is coming up rem arka bly well, and good stands seem as sured everywhere; cultivation of young com is proceeding; the only damage so far reported to corn by in sects results from ravages by cut worms in several counties, chiefly In the w est Planting cotton made fav orable progress early iil tiie week, though Ifitorriiptejj towards the close; planting is about finished in the south portion; the seeds are germ inat ing with unusual rapidity, and good stands seem assured; chopping is about to begin; cotton is getting a lit tle grassy in a few counties, and warm dry w eather would be beneficial now. The showers this week gave the far mers tt favorable opportunity to trans plant tobacco, find where the plants were large eiidugli; arid the land pre pared, a large portion of the crop was set out; this work will be general dur ing the next week or two. W heat, oats and rye continued to grow rapidly, and are beginning to form heads; six correspondents report ,damage to w heat by hessian fly, show ing the very limited injury by this pest for the present sdasOfi. Spring Oats, clover and grasses are also in flourish ing condition; clover and pastures are ready to mow. Truck crops and gar dens have improved; the shipment of peas has begun; Irish potatoes are generally fine and are being hilled in the east. The damp w eather is hav ing a rather unfavorable effect on fruit, favoring fufigus growth. Straw berries fire ripening too rapidly, and as the clop is a large one the trans portation facilities seem inadequate.

Many parsons missed wore given up for Ooadi and many more were seriously wounded. More than 100 ither persons suffered less severe In- /uric?. . Itolief has been going forth from neighboring towns, Oklahoma City sent 100 uien to dig graves and seek the dead ut the ruins, and a dozen undertakers, with 100 coffins. Offers it financial assistance have come from numerous cities. Governor Ferguson .11 Oklahoma has issued a proclama tion calling attention to the needs of the stricken town. 'J1 sJ1Lsic fcieSraPh wire furnished an outlet from Snyder, but it w as blocked IVitIi pnvte messages concerning the dead and the injured. • Plre Adds Io iho Horror, To Udd to the general confusion and listress after the tornado had passed, .ire started and burned up all that re mained of the buildings in one of the Ousincss blocks. The Mayor of Snyder has had much o-onbie arranging for the burial of 010 dead. The confusion w as great, ’wing to the fact that there were a lum ber of unidentified bodies at the morgues. There w as much suffering iwiiiff to iacK bf provisions and places :o stay. IVliat houses remain In the town were in bad condition and were uisafe for habitation. Besides there was not room enough to care for the aomc-less. Bedding iUul wearing ap parel were bbth lacking and, despite :he effort to succor the unfortunates, :liey were in a pitiable condition. M any of the wounded did not re ceive medical aid until nine o'clock die next morning, and by that time :lieir wounds, w ere aggravated. Dr. York, of H obart, w as active in reliev ing the suffering. Only a Scoro of HonscB toft Intnof1 The havoc wrought by the tornado s astonishing. Out of a town that loused 1000 persons not more than a Jcore of houses were left intact, while :wo-tliirds of the buildings were wrecked, The storni formed south of Olustee, iear Ilie Texas line, and took a north easterly course through a well-settled •egioii. A t S o'clock it w as observed iy the people of Snyder, blit the usual htiiiiei-sliaped formatiou was lacking, ind though the roar w as plainly heard lor sometime before the storm broke, v.Huy were of the opinion that it w as 1 hailstorm. AVithiu a few minutes, lie sky suddenly became dark and a crrific downpour of rain began, Iast- iig for several minutes. Then the rain !topped almost as suddenly as it had Itarted1 For a few moments an om- nious calm followed, and then the tornado struck. M any persons were caught in the streets and between buildings, where some were lifted high in the air and lashed to the ground as though hurled from a catapult. Others were struck by flying debris. Those who remained n tlicir houses fared 110 better in the' oath of the tornado, which swept 1 cross ail excepting a few blocks in the southeastern corner of the town. Fram e structures collapsed like egg shells, burying occupants under the IcbriSi killing, crushing and maiming. Six hotels and boarding houses were lorn to pieces, burying many in the wreckage. North of the railroad track, where m any cottages Stdoii, hoibiiig was left-, and even the wreckage was mostly carried away. In a few moments the tornado was ail over and the air w as tilled with the ibrieks of the injured. XVithin a sh o rt. time messengers were dispatched to Mountain Park, three miles away, where the news w as sen: by telephone to H obart. Physicians m il nurses boarded relief trains made up at Man- gum, H obart, Cliickasha and I-awlon and hurried to the scene by the St. Louis and San Francisco EaiIroad- Able-bodied survivors in Snyder worked heroically ail through the night am idst tlie heartrending scenes. A Iiuilding w as utilized fcr a temporary liospital and another as a morgue. Tbe latter, a dry goods building, presented a gruesome appearance when day dawned with the bodies lying tier above tier 011 tlie shelves. The search for bodies continued all the day and at dark eighty-five corpses had been re covered. The m ost pressing need was money. Organization w as perfected among the citizens and appeals were sent out to leading citizens of the territories ask ing for immediate assistance. Snyder is a town of about 1000 in habitants, in Kiowa County, in the Kiowa and Comanche Indian country. It was ooeued to tlie w hite settlement in ISJOI. Tiie town was laid out largely by tlie Si. Louis and San Francisco Railway, at the junction of tw o of its lines and the company erected im portant buildings tiiere. Snyder is the division point for the Quanali Division of the road.

Flames Scallerca Bromlesst1 Tlio exact cause of the wreck seems very well defined. A shifting engine out of place was steaming tow ard the eastbonnd freight train 011 the southern outskirts of tlie city. The freight en gineer, seeing the danger, quickly ap plied the emergency air brakes, and his heavy lrain came to a sndilen stop. About thirty cars back was the box car loaded with dynamite consigned to the K erbaugh Contracting Company a t Columbia. The sudden stop caused this car to “buckle,” th at is to bend in the middle. It slowly toppled over toward the westbound passenger track. As it did so the express, traveling at the rate of sixty miles fill koilf, dashed by. The engineer and fireman both saw the danger, but their Only hope was to try to get past before the freight car struck the track: The huge locomotive; the lender, ft combination baggage and smoking ear and a day coach got by in safety. The next second there w as a mighty explo sion. The first Pullman, the Socrates, loaded with sleeping passengers for Pittsburg, “side-swiped” the dynamite- laden box car, causing its contents to explode. A second later the boiler of the passenger locomotive blew up, and freight cars and sleepers were quickly ablaze. Both traliiB stopped within thelt own lengths, Immediately nil the cars in the express find eight of ten bf the freight cars were ft mass of Aaines1 The first explosion of the dynamite had scattered a tremendous volume of flame through both trains-. Its terrific force had thrown sleeping passengers from their seats and their berths. To add to the horror, a series Cf imaller explosions then occurred. These wqrc caused by the flames reaching the gas tanks under the coaches. These in exploding shot through the floors and spread the flames from end to end of the cats, Many of the peopie on the train wore blown to atoms and 110 trace of tiient will ever be found: Many of those wild Were iidt killed oulright were tiiiight in the burning debris of the wreck and their bodies were Cremated-. Tiie wreckage Wfts ablaze and un approachable fit 3.30 a. m. Many of the passengers and some members of the train crews w ere pinned in it, and small explosions occurred continually. TVken the first explosion occurred bodies' were thrown clear out of the berths ’ in the sleeping cars, many landing down the railroad embank ment and some even being hurled into the Susquehanna River, which paral lels the railroad in that'locality1. All the physicians of the city pro curable were summoned. A fire alarm sounded nnd the firemen arrived, to find themselves practically helpless in the work of rescue.

Fixing Railroad Rates* BTnkitig railroad rates is like playing a game of checkers or chess. Com munities to be benefited, producers,* m anufacturers or shippers to be aided represent the pieces used. Every possi ble move is studied for its effect oil the general result by skilled traffic mana gers.. A false move in the making of freight rates may mean the ruin of a city, of a great m anufacturing interest, of an agricultural community. Bail- roads strive to build up all these so that 'e&cb/jn&f have an equal chance in the sbariPPhpetition of business. So sensitive to this rivalry are the rail roads that in order to build up business along their lines they frequently allow the shipper to practically dictate rates. Bate making has been a m atter of de velopment; of m utual concessions for mutual benefit. That is why the rail roads of the United States have volun tarily made freight rates so much lower in this country than they are on the government-owned and operated rail ways of Europe and Australia that U^ey are now the lowest transportation p te s in the world* M O T H E R H O O D Actual Sterility in Women Is Very Rare—Healthy Mothers and Children Make Happy Homes; % m Cl G l o v e** M any women long for a child to bless their homes, but because oi some de bility or displacement of the female organs they are barren. Preparation for healthy m aternity is accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkh&m’s V egetable Compound more successfully than by any other medicine, because it gives tone and strength to the entire female organism, curing all displace ments, ulceration and inflammation. A woman who is in good physical condition transm its to her children the blessings of a good constitution. Is not th a t an incentive to prepare for a healthy m aternity ? If expectant m others would fortify themselves w ith Lydia E. Pxnkhara1S Vegetable Compound, which for thirty years has sustained thousands of women in this condition, there would be a great decrease in miscarriages, in suffering, and in disappointments &t birth.

Glover, Vice-President of BIilwaukee Business Woman’s Associa tion, of 614 Grove Street, Milwaukee, Wis., w rites: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “ I was married for several years and no childreu blessed our borne. The doctor said I had a complication of female troubles and I could not nave any child^pn unless I could be cured.

Jadge Peebles Heara WItli Surprise Stat utes Knacted by the Last Legislature Whlcta Con m et W ith the IIlU of Rights and Makes some Forcible Remarks—De fendants Urooght IJp Under the Statutes Are Dismissed— Court Would Not Perm it ConTlctlon Under Laws Contrary to Con stitution. - In the cases com ing up for vio lating the city law alm ost in every instance, except w here the defend a n t pleaded guilty, th e cases were dism issed before they reached the ju ry . One of these cases tried on M onday w as against a woman who had beep in ja il for some tim e. T he ju ry convicted her on th e evidence of a negro nam ed Joe Strond, who had been em ployed by the police to “ catch u p ” w ith blind tigers, a t so m uch a catch. T he next day w hen the solicitor prayed judgm ent Ju d g e P e e b ltssa id he did not feel th a t a verdict on such uncorrobated evidence of a paid spy ought to stand, and he set-it aside, giving th e woman another tria l. H e said there was enough crim e com m itted w hich was - unpunished, to encour age citizens into com m itting crim e, the evidence given by Joe being t n.t he w ould go in and get a drink or try to buy a bottle from some one, w hile the poliee stood outside w aiting to pay him the m oney for his inform ation obtained by buying liquor w ith money also furnished by them . Independent of this, Judge Peebles said, it was offering a prem ium on perjury, to encourage the low est and m ost disreptnable to sw ear for pay th a t he purchased liquor, there being a possibility pf its not being true. T here was no evidence th at the defendant sold any liquor. Judge Peebles alm ost drove th e officer from the stand, asking Solicitor Brooks by w hat au thority any citizen’s house could be broken into and his property confiscated, and said th at such testim ony w as not proper to go before a j ury to convict any citizen on. T he answ er m ade by Splieitor Brooks was not only a revelation to the citizens of G reensboro, b u t it prodnced a sensation w hich has oiily increased since it becaineknowu th at such a law had been passed by the last L egislature. T he only part of this law the po Iiceman had observed was the break ing into tbe house, w hich he did, he 6aid, under th e authority from the city attorney, and seizing the deteudant’s goods. H e had not had any trial as to the rig h t of proving it his property, as the sec tion provided, th a t p a rt of the law having been disregarded or over looked. JU D G E PE E B L E S ’ E E M A RK S. Peeblesw ill find the Suprem e Court of the state against him . T he case before th e Suprem e C ourt from U nion county involved the sam e principle; yet, the C onrt held it was constitutional, although Ju s tice Brown w rote a strong dissent ing opinion. T he Legislature and Court- have goneinad,and it is only a question of tim e th a t personal liberty w ill be a thing of the past in this S tate. T he only hope for th e people is the overthrow of Democracy and we verily believe its overthrow is in sight. T he idea th a t the possession of over a q u art of w hisker m akes a m an guilty of a crim e, shifting the burden from the S tate to the ac cused, a reversal of the law w hich throw s around every m an the p re sum ption of innocence until his guilt is proven by th e S tate. A h! L iberty! L iberty! O ne of the w orst features of this case is the use by th e city govern m ent of a half w itted negro as a spy to entrap w hite people, paying for th e w hiskey and paying to spy out th e violators, and then hauling him up for p erju ry .

Anderson, DENTIST, -Offics o / i r B n k of D avis, ------------------------- ------------ 77 Establishm ent of a Perm anent CounciI of Direction CZAR TAKES IMPORTANT STEP Existing Counsel of W ar H as Proved U nsatisfactory and W ill Be Super seded by a New Body, w ith G rand Duke N icholas A iphabetovitch a t Its H ead. S t Petersburg, By Cable.—The first stepi towards the' institution of the long contemplated council of national defense, to co-ordinate the activities of the military and aaval adm inistra tions, has been taken In an imperial manifesto creating a special prelimin ary commission under the presidency of Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaie- vitch. The manifesto is preceded by a re script which Em peror Nicholas has addressed to the Grand Duke, in which his m ajesty says: "In order to insure the development of the empire’s fighting force in a m anner corresponding to the needs and resources of the State, and uni formity in the duties of the Supreme naval and military administration, and also to harmonize them with those of other government institutions in ques tions affecting the safety of the state, I have deemed it necessary to estab lish a perm anent State Defense Coun cil. I charge the special commission, consisting of members appointed by me under the presidency of your im perial highness, to draw up according to my direct suggestion a law relating to this institution.” The rescript concludes with the ex pression of the conviction that the commission will carry out the task confided to It without delay, and with the care and undivided attention ■which the high importance of the new Institution demands. The formation of the council and the assumption by it of control of the w ar is expected to ensue shortly, as the main details have already been worked out. The dispatch of Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch, who is designated as the president of the per m anent State Defense Council, to Man churia, to assume direct command of the imperial forces there, has been several times seriously considered, and he has served repeatedly of late as representative of the Emperor on commissions dealing with vital ques tions of the war. The existing council of war. which has proved unsatisfactory, will be su perseded by the new body. The step Is an extremely im portant one, for which the events of the w ar In the F ar E ast have shown the necessity, the two departments failing to work together to the best advantage, even when actuated by the most harmoni ous feelings, and friction has often been manifested. Many opportunities for helpful co-operation between the two arms of the service are constantly arising, and if Admiral Rojestvensky succeeds in reaching VIadivostock and shaking the Japanese mastery of the sea, the council will play a very weighty role. At the same time the council is created,, not for the present war, but as a permanent organiza tion of the state, subordinating the W ar and Navy Departments, and even overshadowing the other ministries. It is understood the formation of the new council means the definite abandonment of the plan of sending Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch to the Par East to assume supreme command on land and sea. General Linevitch and Vice Admiral Birelieff will be left .unhampered except as to the grand outlines of strategy. A rrested in New York. New York, Special.—Central office detectives, on the request of the W hite Plain6 chief of police, arrested Rich ard Young. 32 years of ’ age, a negro engineer, who is charged with murder by the chief of police of Greenbay, Va., where he is alleged to have killed Andrew Paiges, of that place.

The new offi cers were called on for speeches and each responded. Several other short speeches were made, after which the association adjourned. The selection of a place for the next meeting was referred to the new ex ecutive committee. Durham has invit ed the association, and Mr. Frank J. Morton, of Toxaway, was hero to se cure the next meeting for the beautii'ul Sapphire country. Adjusting Berry Losses. W ilmington, Special.—Attorneys for both the Armour Refrigerator Car Line and the Truckers’ Association went up the W ilmington & Weldon railroad to begin the adjustm ent of losses in that section by reason of the shortage in cars during the recent heavy shipments of strawberries, when thousands Cf crates were dumped as so much garbage. Claims of over $150,000 for the loss of four days’ shipments in the Chadbourn section have already been admitted by the Armour people, and many of them have been paid. W hile the loss in the W ilmington and Weldon sections will not be so heavy in the aggregate it is not considerable. Settlement for late deliveries and fruit which spoiled on the Northern m arkets will be adjusted when all the admitted claims are out of the way. The damage in the Trucking belt of eastern N orth Carolina may reach a million dollars before all the claims and suits are in. Killed in Runaw ay A ccident.

Chicago, SpeciaL—Sunday brought no changes in the attitude of either side of the-labor controversy now in progress in Chicago, and everything Sunday night points toward an exten sion of the teamsters’ strike during the coming week. Officers of seven express companies, whose refusal to reinstate any of their former employes caused the collapse of the settlem ent of the trouble Saturday night, still adhere to their determination not to give em ployment to any of their form er em- ployes, and other firms involved in the difficulty declared th at they would stand by the express companies in tbe fight. The Teamsters’ union has taken just as firm a stand as the employers, and it was said by President Shea Sat urday night that the union would not call ctt the strike until the express companies came to terms. Tho first spread of the strike Is ex pected Monday morning, when the Lumberman's association, an organi zation employing 2,400 teamsters, is sues an order to their men to make de liveries to all business houses re gardless of -vhether or not they are involved in the strike. In anticipation of such an order, the team sters met Sunday afternoon and voted to go on strike should any team ster be discharg ed for refusal .to obey the order of the Lumbermen’s association. GENARAL UPHBVAL AT HAND1. W ith non-union drivers m aking de liveries for lumbermen, the strike will undoubtedly spread to affiliated indus tries, as to union men employed on buildings will refuse to handle m aterial delivered by non-union labor. Should this lumbermen’s strike be called Mon day—and there is nothing now to in dicate how it can be averted—there seems to be nothing that can prevent an upheval throughout Chicago. PRESIDENT GOMPERS ACTIVE. After talking over the situation with Mayor Dunne and Sheriff B arrett in the mayor’s office Sunday, President Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, withdrew from the conference to consult with president Shea, of the Teamsters’ union. “I have been discussing the outlook with Mayor Dunne and Sheriff Bar rett.” said Mr. Gompers. “They asked me to use my influence and to do ev erything I possibly could to prevent the extension of the strike. I told them I was willing to do everything I could in an advisory capacity to bring about peace." At the end of the conference Mayor Dunne said that its purpose had been to discover whether it was necessary to increase the police force Monday. He said:"Should there be an extension of the strike with a resumption of the rioting of two weeks ago. there is a probabil ity that troops will be called to main tain order.”Sheriff B arrett said that he would continue swearing in deputies and will make special efforts to increase their number.

The week ending Monday, May 15, was characterized by very warm, sul try w eather, frequent and in places ex cessive rains, and some very severe lo cal thunderstorm s with destructive winds. The mean tem perature for the State averaged nearly 76 degrees, or 8 degrees daily above normal, with the highest tem perature exceeding 90 on two or three days. Between the show ers there was abundant sunhine and w arm th and moisture favored rapid growth of vegetation. Showers were frequent; in the central southern por tion of the State there was generally altogether too much rain, soaking the soil, keeping the w ater courses full, and entirely preventing the m ost nec essary work of the farm er at this time, the cultivation of rapidly grow ing crops. The m ost severe local storm s occurred on the evenings of the IOth and 12th over W ayne county, H ar nett, Johnston, W ake, Alamance and Guilford, and in the west in Ruther ford, Davie, Alexander, Surry and Ire dell. In these much damage was done to land and crops by washing rains, and high winds blew down many for est and fruit trees, fences and barns. Damaging hail occurred in W ayne county. Over m ost of the extreme eastern and northern counties the rain fall was moderate and all conditions very favorable. In many counties farm work was en tirely prevented this week, the culti vation of crops, which have become very foul, has been seriously delayed, and also the late planting of com and cotton. Dry w eather is needed. Crops are flourishing, however, growth hav ing been very rapid, though many fields are in danger of being smother ed by the more vigorous development of grass and weeds. Much cotton has still to be planted; the germination of seeds has been very rapid; chopping is under way generally and good stands are assured, but many fields are very grassy, and need work, but the soil is too w et; as yet very little com has been planted on bottom lands, cut and bud worms are damaging corn on low lands. Ex cellent progress in transplanting to bacco was made this week, but in many im portant counties the land was unready is too wet to be prepared bow. while the plants have grown so rapid ly as to be in danger of being ruined before they can be set o u t Planting peanuts is advancing favorably. W heat, oats, rye, and spring oats are all heading, and are generally fine, though some damage to wheat is re ported by hessian fly; rust has appear ed in wheat, caused by warm, damp weather. Grasses and clover are ex ceptionally fine. Irish potatoes are exceptionally fine, but the potato beet le has appeared and is damaging the crop in some sections. Sweet potato slips are being transplanted. Truck crops are doing well; shipm ents of straw berries are now diminishing in quantity. There will probably be a fair crop of apples, but blight is begin ning to cause some injury to fruit. T a r H sel Topics. It is announced that Prof. W. C.

WILDEST FRENZY AT CITY HAIL Uproar of Protest HtI Action is Police Called to Clear GalUxles as CroTtrJ CaiU CdUuciImea “Thieves” anil “Robber*” a Kins l>eWare# City Weeds Money. Philadelphia, Pa.—Under the lash of file leader of the most perfect political organization in any city in tbe United States, the City Councils, which con sists of two bodies, patterned after the upper and lower houses of the Na tional Legislature, sold out the rights of the people to the United Gas Im provement Company amid an excite ment and uproar with out precedent in the history of rotten politics in this ring-riddeu city, 'x’he gas works of the city w ere turned over .to the United Gas Improvement Company for a term of seventy-five years for $25,000,000, which is to be paid in installm ents be tween the date of the passage of the act and the year 1007. It is estimated that the ultim ate profit of the gas com bination will run close to a billion. The town w as soon iu an uproar. The disorder iu the Council chamber ■when the final vote was taken w as ab solutely without precedent. Xhousands of citizens surged around the City Hail. Every available inch Iu the part set aside for spectators w as packed aud jammed beyond description. As the vote w as announced there w ent up a roar of rage that made even the most subservieut tools of Isra e l' S. Durham, tbe leader, quail and turn .livid with fear. From the spectators’ gallery there came a quick instant shriek of "Xhievesr' “Robbers!” “Shame! Shame!” Xlie men who had voted expected a .demonstration, but nothing quite so tumultuous. They were so frightened by the outburst that they dared not leave their plr.tes until police protec tion was afforded them and the crowd began to melt away. The crowd continued to hiss and call the Councilmen thieves and other names until the- police arrived and started to clear the gallery. As the people moveu out they sang uncom plimentary songs. In clearing the gal lery there were several clashes be tween the police and spectators, but no one was hurt. „ AU through the session of the Com mon Council there was disorder. In the Selecc Council there were so many po licemen on duty that no one dared to interrupt the proceedings. There was neither a cheer or a hiss when the bill passed that body. The agitation resulted in the Com mon Council amending the bill so as to provide for a slight reduction in the price of gas. The present price, $1 for 1000 feet, remains until 1911; from 1911 to 1921, 95 cents; trom 1921 to 1936, 90 cents; from 1930 to 195C, 85 cents, and thereafter until the expira tion in 1980, 80 cents. The Finance Committee had before it tw o propositions, one from the United Gas Improvem ent Company and the other from I-. B. Smith & Co., bankers of this city, representing Kew Vork and Philadelphia capital.. The Smith bid differed from the other in that it proposed to share profits with the city at the rate of one-third for ten years and one-half for the re maining sixty-five years, and also pro vided that the city could reduce the price of gas as tiie profits increased. A sub-committee reported in favor of the United Gas Improvem ent Com pany. The report stated that the city was in immediate need of $49,000,000, and th at the present borrowing capac ity of the municipality w as only $15,- 000,000. In view of these facts, the report stated, the best the city could do would be to lease the gas works for a long term, tbe money to be paid in advance. A letter from Mayor W eaver asking the committee to postpone action was read, but no action w as taken Thecom m itteethen announced itself ready to hear from citizens. Select Councilman Charles Seger, a Repub lican organization leader, moved that each speaker’s tim e be limited. This suggestion -was received w ita hisses and cries <. f “Shaw*!” and “Rob bers!” Order was resored with diffi culty and Mr. Seger’s motion -was withdrawn. Those who spoke against the United Gas Im pr-. em ent proposition -were .Tohn C. W inston, Chairman of the Committee of Seventy; Francis B. Reeves, Chairman of the Committee of Nine, appointed a t a recent mass meeting of citizens; W illiam Potter, former M inister to Italy; W. T. Tilden, of the Committee of Nine; G. W. Nor ris,-representing the Smith syndicate, and ex-Judge .Tames Gay Gordon. At the conclusion of the ineeting, ■which continued stormy throughout, the committee favorably reported the gas company’s lease to the Common Council. Fifteen minutes after the bill had passed the Common Conncii it was taken up by the Select Chamber, which had take a recess to aw ait the ifieasure. It was read Quickly and a motion to postpone action for the prt.-- ent w as defeatc-i.

Cliicago, 111.—Death dii ffie' gallows was the verdict pronounced by the jury w hic'i convicted Johann Hocli, “the modern Bluebeard,” of the mur der of his wife, Eniilie Fischer, whose sister he married four days after the murder. Under the laws of Illinois the jury is empowered to fix the penalty for murder at life imprisonment or cap ital punishment. The vote stood ten to two on the first ballot for the extreme penalty. Oa the second ballot the ver dict w as unanimous for hanging. “Well, I guess it’s all off with John,” groaned Hoch, as the verdict was read in court. H e was greatly aftected. He had sat iu a stooping position, but when the word “death” w as read he turned pale, stared hopelessly a t the jurors and sank limp in his chair. Hoch’s attorneys will ask for a new trial, although the condemned mail said he was ready to die, and would lie better sat-sfied if they did not make an effort to save him. “I wish they would hang me now i that I ' have been found guilty,” de; ciared Hoch. “I am not afraid to die7 and the sooner it is over w ith the bet ter.” Hoch denied positively that he had murdered several wives, as has been alleged, and displayed some bitterness in speaking of the subject. “Such talk is foolish,” he said. “The reports have been spread that I am a modern ‘Bluebeard.’ This is untrue. All that can be said against me is that I have committed bigamy. As to the talk that I had nearly a dozen wives, it is nonsense, as are the stories that I made away w ith them. There w as no evidence tbf.t I had another sweetheart and wanted to re t rid of the woman I am accused of poisoning. I spent money to get her, but this part of the evidence was ignored by the jurors.” .- ' a. Janitor of Holmes Castle. The conviction closes the career of one of the most rem arkable scoundrels in the world—not excepting Henry H. Holmes, who killed and destroyed the bodies of nineteen persons, and who was hanged in Philadelphia. Curious ly enough, Hoch w as a t one tim e the janitor of “Holmes Castle,” Sixty-third street and Stew art avenue, Philadel phia, wliere the bodies of the victims were sealed up in vaults filled w ith quicklime. He w as known then as John H atch, and attem pted to kill a policeman who suspected th at he had some connection w ith the Holmes trag edies. Hoch is believed to have murdered twelve of the thirty-one wives he m ar ried in twenty-four years. H e poi soned most of them w ith arsenic, but three of tbe women disappeared mys teriously, and their bodies never have been discovered. The object of the murders w as to get money. Hoch’s first m arriage in this country w as In 1881. W hether that w ife is dead or alive is not known. In 1892 he m arried Mrs. C. A. Mayer. She died here, three weeks after her m ar riage, in convulsions, which, in the light of subsequent events, indicated arsenical poisoning. H e m arried Mrs. H arriet Irick a few m onths later. She died in a ragntli. In 1S93 he married Mrs. S. Hauck in Peoria, 111., and de serted her. In 1894 he m arried a wom an, name unknown, in Chicago. She was dead in tw o months. Tbe next victim w as Mrs. Julia Steinbrecher, from whom he received $4000. She died in Chicago tw o months after she gave up her money. Hoch married -Mrs. Janet Spencer in 1895, and got $500 from her. H e abandoned her and m arried Caliie Charlotte Andrews, from whom he obtained $500. Two hours after the m arriage ceremony he left her and w ent to Wheeling, W. Va., in 1897, and m arried Mrs. Jam es Huss. H e lived w ith her three months. She died and left him $2500. Hoch returned to Chicago in 1898 and became the husband of Mrs. Mar tin Detz. She w as perm itted to live three months. Then he married a Mil waukee woman—the sister of Mrs. J. H. Schwartzman—and obtained $1200 from her. She died in three weeks. Mrs. Mary Schultz became the w ife of Hoch in Argus, Ind., in 1899. She turned over $2000 to him and vanished. H er daughter disappeared a t the same time. Neither has been heard of from that day to this. Mrs. M ary’ Becker w as the next sacrifice. She w as m ar ried to Hoch in St. Louis in 1901, and was dead in two months. In 1904 Hoch wooed and won Mrs. Anna Hendrickson in this city. H e got $1000 from her and left her. Milwau kee w as visited again in 1904, and Hoch there m arried Mrs. Lena Hoch. She died In three weeks. The Blue beard then w ent to Philadelphia, m et Mrs. Caroline Stricher, m arried her af ter a week’s courtship, borrowed $200 and fled back to Chicago, where he be cam e the husband of Mrs. M ary W alk er, who had saved $200. H e got th at and his w ife died inside of a month. H is next victim w as Mrs. M arie Fish er. She lived onljr a week and left $<o0. *" - Caught In New X1Ork. Hoch w as captured in New Tork City in the boarding house of Mrs. K atherine Kummerle, No. 546 W est Forty-seventh street. ' H e engaged a room there under the name of Henry Bartels, and had not been in the house two days before he began making vio lent love to the landlady. ;WOOD GETS TH IBTY YEARS, M urderer A fter Confession is Given Full Penalty of the Law.

Claim Statue Is a “Fake.” A contributor to a recent num ber of the Strand declares that the W illiam H. Seward statue in Madison square. New York city, is the “stautue of two people at once.’* The sculptor, accord ing to the Strand, was approached by the committee intrusted with the erec tion of the Seward statue and was asked to abate his price. “I cannot do that,” he said, “but I will tell you w hat I will do. I have a statue of IJrcoln here which has been left on my hands by a defaulting W estern city. I will take oft his head and put on Seward’s, and fix it that way.” He did, “and the head of W illiam H. Sew ard has stood upon the broad shou!- ders of Abraham Lincoln from that day to this.” Tnldo is a hundred years older than St. Petersburg. rise’s Cure tor Consumpttonis an Infallible medk'iue for eoughs and colds.—N.

Ed ward Fulenwider, entered upon his of fice January 1st, w ith headquarters at Lexington. The routine business connected with organization of the Synod, occupied the afternoon session.

The Pres ident gave Senator Simmons to under stand when he was at the W hite House Monday, that he would be the guest Jf the people of Charlotte after leav ing Raleigh, but the trip South is nec essarily a ,hurried one, and Mr. Roose velt stated that he would be compelled to refuse m any invitations that ordi narily it would be a pleasure to him to accept, in order to get back to W ashington before the extra session of Congress is convened.

Once, during his second term , Gro ver Cleveland was asked to ,speak at a function in a certain town and when he arrived at the depot, the wind was blowing a gale, sleet was driving and hailstones nearly as large as marbles were fiercely falling. Of course, the inevitable brass band was there, and at the sight of the president, the performers struck up with all the strenuosity at their com mand. “That is the most realistic music I ever heard,” rem arked Cleve land. “W hat are they trying to play?” asked Secretary Olney, who accom panied him. “H ail to the Chief!” re plied the president with a cheerful smile. “W aste” Brings Much Money.

Mr. Fosdyke, engineer In charge o) the Asaka dam on the Nile, scuttled a ship to save his cherished earth works from ruin. The dam partlj burst, and the great rush of watei was forcing the banks from below. Something had to be done to stoi the flow, for a terrible disaster was imminent.

Hungry crows, unable to find food elsewhere, killed and partly devoured eighteen pigs belonging to Julius Daubmann, a farm er near Orston, Camden county. The birds had hung around the place for several days and become such a nuisance Daubmann found it necessary to use his gun. Yesterday one ot Daubmann’s assistants was awakened by the din of the crows and saw the barnyard full of them. He aroused Daubmann and the other men, and after firing into the crows eighteen of the pigs were found to have been killed, all having their eyes pecked o u t—Philadelphia Record.

GREAT CHANGE From Change in Food; The brain depends much more on the stomach than we aie apt to suppose un til w e take thought in the m atter. Feed the stomach on proper food easy to digest and containing the proper am ount of phosphates and the healthy brain w ill respond to all demands. A notable housewife in Buffalo writes: “The doctor diagnosed my trouble as a ’nervous affection of* the stomach.’ I w as actually^ so nervous that I could not sit still for five minutes to read the newspaper, and to attend to my house hold duties w as simply impossible. I doctored all the time w ith remedies, b u t medicine did no good. “My. physician put me on all sorts of diet, and I tried many kinds of cereal foods, but none of them agreed with me. I w as almost discouraged, and when I tried Grape-Nuts I did so with many misgivings—I had no faith that it would succeed where everything else bad failed. “B ut it did succeed, and you don’t know how glad I am that I tried it. I feel like a new person, I have gained in w eight and I don’t have that terrible burning sensation -n my stomach any more. I feel so strong again that I Btn surprised a t myself. The street noises th at used to irritate me so, I never notice now, and my mind is so clear th at my household duties are a real pleasure.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Micb. There’s a reason. • N ow w hyw asJhts great change made in this woman? The stom'ach and the brain had not* been supplied with the right kind of food to ‘rebuild and sirergtben the nerve centres in these organs. It is ab solute folly to try to do this with medicine. There is but one sure way, and that is to quit the old food that has failed and -,take on Grape-Nuts food, which is more than half digested in the process of m anufacture and is rich’ in the phosphate of potash contained in the natural grain, which unites with albumen and w ater—the only three substances that will make up the soft gray filling in the thousands of delicate nerve centres In the brain and body, Grape^Nuts (pod is a i.uve r9S5 back (0 Uenjtfc Ja oil Rvieu qftssi. *• Italtroads and Pmeiefi.* In his testimony before the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce at W ashington on May 4, Professor Hugo R. Meyer, of Chicago University, an expert on railroad management, made this statement: “Let us look at w hat m ight have hap pened if we had heeded the protests of the farm ers of New York and Ohio and Pennsylvania (in ' the seventies when grain from the W est began pour ing to. the Atlantic seaboard) and acted upon the doctrine which the Interstate Commerce Commission has enunciated time and again, that no man may be deprived of the advantages accruing to him by virtue of his geographical po sition. W e could not have w est of the Mississippi a population of millions of people who are prosperous and are great consumers. W e never should have seen the years when we built 10.000 and 12,000 miles of railway, for there would have been no farm ers ■west of the Mississippi River who could have used the Innd that would have been opened up by the building ot those railways. And, if w e had not seen the years when w e could build 10.000 and 12,000 miles of railw ay a year, we should not have to-day, east of the Mississippi, a steel and iron producing centre which is a t once the marvel and the despair of Europe, be cause we could not have built up a sleel and iron industry if there had been no market for its product. “ We could not have in New Eng-. land a great boot and shoe industry; w e could not have in New England a great cotton miiling industry; we could not have spread throughout New York aiid Pennsylvania and Ohio manufac turing industries of the most diversi fied kinds, because *kosc industries would have no m arket among tlie farm ers west of the Mississippi River. “And, while the progress of this country, whiie the development of the agricultural W est of this country, did mean the impairment of the agricul tural value east of the Mississippi River that ran up inlo hundreds of millions of dollars, it meant, inci dentally, the building up of great man ufacturing industries th at added to the valne of this land by thousands of millions of dollars. And, gentlemen, these tbiugs were not foreseen in the seventies. The statesm en and the pub lic men of this country did not see w hat part the agricultural develop ment of the W est was going to play in the industrial development of the East. And, you may read the decisions of tho Interstate Commerce Commission, from the first to the last, and what is one of the greatest characteristics of those decisions? The continued in ability to see the question In this large way. “The Interstate Commerce Commis sion never can sec anything more than that the farm land of some farmer is decreasing In value, or, that some man, who has a flour mill w ith a pro duction of fifly barrels a day, is being crowded out. It never can see that the destruction or impairment of farm values in this place means the building up of farm values In that place, and that that sniffing of values is a neces sary incident to the industrial and man ufacturing development of this coun try. And, if we shall give to the Inter state Commerce Commission potrer to regulate rates, we shall no longer have our rates regulated on the statesm an like basis ou wkiob they have been regulated In the past by the railway men, who really have oeen great states men; who really have been great bulld- crs of empires; who have had an im agination that rivals the imagination of the greatest poet and of the great est inventor, and who have operated with a courage and daring that rivals the courage and daring of the greatest military general. B ut we shaii have our rates regulated by a body ot civil servants, bureaucrats, whose beset ting sin tho world over, is that they can never grasp a situation in a large w ay and with the grasp of the states man; that they never can see the fact that Ihey are confronted with a small evil; that that evil is relatively small, and that it caunot be corrected except by the creation of evils and abuses which are infinitely greater than the one Ihat is to be corrected.” •■■J’rrds consider the Woo1 on the back • -.
