D.C, W :W m i MOST DARING TRAIN ROBBERY A Robbery That Would Have Done Credit to the James Gang. ROBBERS SEEMED TO BE FAMILIAR With the Country and With the Rail­ way People— Carried Off Express Sale in a Wagon. .i ■!'I jit. t s \l- -J.Sn In f t , ! it % Columbia, S. C., Special.—The most daring hold-up and train robbery that bas ever been committed in this part of the country took place Monday even­ ing at 6:56 o’clock on the Charleston division of the Southern railway, be­ ginning at the 56 mile post and being concluded, at ihe. 58 mile station, in the <xact spot almost tiiaf "Barbuw ViratWU Is suposed to have held up the train and single handed fobbed the express car a few years ago. The robbery was worthy of the Jesse James gang in its palmiest days, and in all its details excels many of the gang’s exploits for daring and boldness. It was performed by a gang of six men according to the eye witnesses, and the gang actually brought the train to a station, backed a wagon up to the door of the express car and unloaded the large through safe from the car, making off with it. To make certain that the engineer of the train would go back after the de­ tached coaches one of the men actually rode a mile, then making the engineer slow down and allow him to jump off, thus giving the men time to get away with the wagon. Only three of the men were disguised; these three had their faces blackened as if with shoe polish; the other three attempted no disguise. They used Winchester rifle3 and when the train got here many had the opportunity to look at -the bullet holes in the mail and baggage cars.Kngineer Reynolds, one of the olacst and most experienced engineers on the road, came in closer contact with the robbers than anyone else, and he did not relish his hour and ten minutes spent In their company. They intro­ duced themselves . by sending a Win­ chester bullet through his close fitting cap, it barely missing ploughing ita way through his head. The baggage- master and flagman also had narrow escapes from rifle bullets as the bag­gage car shows. The express messen­ger, Mr. A. V. Hall, of Augusta, was forced at the point of a pistol to open his route safe and hand over the con­ tents, which were not more than $25. The big safe he could not open and Jt was of course taken away by the robbers. The train crew particularly the engineer and the flagmen tell thril­ling stories of the occurrence. The entire train rached here about two hours late, and there were express officials and others at he depot to see the train and hear what the men who had passed through such a thrilling experience had to say of the affair. Most of the men had quieted their shat­tered nerves somewhat and were able to give good accounts. Ver;/ soon after the occurrence the express officials here were notified and Route Agnt Richardson was on the go, making prepax*ations for th starting of a hot chase. The governor was inform­ ed of the occurrence and hepromptly offered a reward of $400 for the cap­ture of the parties. eH also sent tele­ grams to the sheriffs of Dorchester, Orangeburg and CJolleton counties in­ structing them to use every effort to capture the men, organizing posse if necessary. Sheriff Martin of Charles­ ton was also asked to take as was the sheriff of Uicbmond county, Georgia. Those who are familiar with the con­ditions in the vicinity of the daring robbery are confident that Bartow \War- ren, once tried for express robbery and now a fugitive murderer, organized the gang and planned and executed the robbery. The fact that it occurred at the identical spot of the 1899 hold-up makes this most likely. The train was No. Ilf from Charles­ton to Columbia. Engineer Reynolds as he climbed down from his engine cab in which were a number of bullet holes from rifles fired from the tender, said he was glad the trip was over. He is an aged man. He pulled off his cap and showed a £ig bull®* bole through the top.The old engineer was as cool as a cucumber on a July day, but seemed to mad about the air hole in his cap. He said that they were skim­ ming along after the stops at Preg- nalls, St. George’s and Reevesville and had just passed the 56-mile post at “Cattle Creek Trestle” when he heard the fireman say “Mr. Reynolds, the man says stop her.” He asked who said stop her, and did not pretend to stop. Then bullets came from the tender, one going through his- cap as stated. He Said he went through the front Wi&dow to the running board and was about-to jump off, but he knew that he could not get back to his engine, and she was running fast, so when the shooting ceased he crawled back in the window and proceeded to apply the brakes. There were then two men in the cab; both had i-ifies and were not masked. A third was on the tender. The negro fireman had jumped when the shooting began. The men then ordered him to get down and uncouple the train. He told them he couldn’t do it. They asked him if he did not know how and be told them he did. They then made him tell them how to do it, and they'sent other men on the front of the next car baek to do the work, two of the men going also. The third took his seat on the fireman’s box, and told the en­ gineer that he was staying there to keep tab on him. He also called the en­gineer by his name, saying “Mr. Rey­nolds, I’m afraid I come mighty near liitting you. I wouldn't hurt a hair on yotr head for anything. I only fired at you to scare you for you wouldn’t stop. We don’l'wantto.Jiurt a single employe of the railroad, bufwe want to get thestuff from that d ri express compa- ' ny.” The men got tho train uncoupled, but did not know how to vvork, the hooks and came back to the engine; they then made him back a little aad got the train cut off at the second- class car. Then he was ordered to go ahead. One of the men had told him to stop 200 yards from the 58-mile post depot platform; as he was slowing up one of the fellows ordered him to head right up to the “goat house” as the lit­ tle depot there is known, using that term. The engineer says when he stop­ ped the train there was much shooting; but in about five minutes the robbers had done what they wished to do; they then told him he could go back to his train two miles down the road. One fel­ low remained in the cab; when the engineer said he was going to Braneh- ville instead, this fellow said he sup­ posed be wouldn’t, and rode back half a mile with him to see that he didn't getting off while the engine , was still moving. The men, the engineer said, “talked like home folks and looked like ordinary country folks, like some men I have seen about the place.” Tho fel­low who rode on the fireman’s sear, he says, wfis a short stout man with whis­ kers and moustache of dark color: the only other fellow he got close enough to see good was a long yellow skinned looking fellow with a black moustache and looked like what is known in ihat country as a “Goose Cricker.” Ono of tho men was heard by the baggage- master to refer to Mr. Reynolds by his nick name. The engineer went on back and had his train recoupled and came on to Branchville. The flagman tells a graphic story of the affair. He says he was sitting in the second-class car at 6:56 when ho felt the air brakes go on. He thought some air pipe had broken, and he jumped off and started toward the engine looking under the cars to se where the trouble was, As he reached the express car he heard indiscriminate shooting. He wont on to the baggage car to find out what the trouble was. The baggagemaster had his door locked. He then stepped into the vestibule of the express car next and saw three men pass directly by shooting and cursing and calling to “Mike” and “Pat'' to cut the conches loose. It was afterwards tound that they had simply pulled the air pipe apart breaking it. By this time he had called to the baggagemaster who knew his voice and let him in. Jsut then one of the men passed by the car door and he called to him to let him out and go backto flag another train that was right behind. The fellow told him to take his d—n head In the car an8 keep it there, or he’d get killed. Just then a shot crashed through the woodwork just above his head and scattered the splinters in his face. He then went in the mail car and asked the agent if he was hurt. The mail agent said no; that one man had stuck his head in the door and asked if he had any stuff and he had told him no. Then the flagman got back into the baggage car and bul­ lets were flying so promiscuously that he and the baggagemaster took refuge behind a number of drummers’ trunks. Several bullets crashed into the car, and the bullet holes are there to show for it. The flagman says that the men he saw had their faccs blackened. When they had gone he crawled out over the tender to see how things were in the engine.

Norfolk, Special.—A heap of smok­ ing ruins is all that remains of the Atlantic Hotel the massive Columbia office building which adjoined the hotel, the Albermarle flats and a block of stores in the center of the city. The conflagration, one of the greatest in the history of Norfolk, broke out shortly before 2 O’clock Friday morn­ ing, and When finally subdued over half a million dollars’ worth of prop­ erty had been destroyed. The loss is said to be fully covered by insurance. ?he flames started in the Columbia, which is the largest but one of Nor­folk’s office buildings. It was a struc­ ture six stories high and was built in 1892 by Davis Lowenberg, its owner. The fire waB first discovered at 1:55 o’clock in the morning and shortly afterward over 1,000 gallons of whis­key stored in the basement Ox the building exploded with terrific force, tearing out the front wall. The fire­ men were driven back by the explos­ion and before they could get a stream of water on the flames the entire building was afire. Hardly 15 minutes later the north wall, which was over 100 feet high, fell iii, completely an- nihilating the home of the Virginia Club, which adjoins Jthe buildng on the north.From the outset it was evident that the immense Atlantic Hotel was doom­ed. J. Hull Davidson, its owner, per­sonal^ made the rounds of the rooms and aided by his assistants, aroused every gue3t in the building. To this is due the fact that so far as known no lives were lost, although about 300 people were asleep in the hotel when the alarm was sounded. The little army of half dressed men and women refugees from the flames elbowed their way through the crowded streets. In their hands they carried such small belongings as they were able to save in their' flight. The flames soon spread to the five-story Albe­marle apartment house, opposite the Virginia Club, which was quickly de­stroyed, and then to the entire block facing the Atlantic, and running from Plume to Main streets. Within an hour this block was annihilated.The origin of the fire is not known. The blaze "was first discovered in Brown’s cafe, which occupies half of the Columbia building, by a police­man who immediately sent in the alarm. The whiskey which exploded was in this cafe. AU the Atlantic Hotel guests escaped, though 2. O. Ready, of Brooklyn, N. Y., had a closo call. The Watt, Bettew and Clay build­ing was saved, although the stock was saturated by water. In the Atlantic Hotel building were the ticket offi­ces of the Southern, 'Baltimore and Ohio, and Norfolk and Western Rail­ways. The offices of Nottingham and Wrenn, wood and coal dealers; the Equitable Life Assurance Company; Dodson’s drug store, Vermillion’s liquor store, and Solomonsky’s tailor­ ing establishment. In the Columbia building were the cafes of C. R. Brown and Neddes; the offices of D. Lowen* berg, the owner, and of numerous real estate firms, lawyers, physicians, architects and contractors. In the block destroyed with the Albemarle were Johnston’s china store; Carey $Bd Dean, tailors; Hatch and Dean, Cairaishers; Mottu, Dewitt and Co., brokers; Stephenson and Taylor, brokers; the Norfolk and Western flight department, and the office of the Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia Air Line.The loss will approximate $900,000, possibly half covered by insurance. The buildings burned were: Atlantic Hotel, for which, with its site, C. M. Randolph, who is associated with R. Lancaster, recently paid $310,000. Co­ lumbia ‘ building, which cast $50,000. Everything in the building’s offices was destroyed; loss over $100,000. Albemarle apartment house, owned by George L. Arps, valued at about $25,000; the Johnston China Company, occupied the ground floor and lost $10,000. Building owned by C. W. Sams, valued at $12,000. Mottu, De­witt and Company, bankers and brok­ ers, occupied two floors of this build­ing and lost valuable papers. Building owned by Mrs. Sarar Allmond, occu­ pied by Stephenson and Taylor, real estate and other tenants, loss $10,000: buildings occupied by Hatch and Dean, men’s furnishings, $15,000; L. B. Carey, merchant tailor, $10,000; L. G. Blye, florist, and three buildings on Plume street., in the rear of the Vir­ginia Club, $20,000. Work of Virginia Convention. Richmond, Special.—The constitu­ tional convention did a good lay’s work Friday. The chairman announced the appointment of Messrs. Watson and Meredith as additional members of the committee of final revision. The re­ port of the committee on agriculture was adopted with some additions, the most significant being that making the Commissioner of Agriculture elected by the people, and fixing the term of of­ fices at four years. Another was that striking out the additional members of the board of agrioulture and leaving it constituted as at present, except that the president of the Virginia Polytech­nic Institute shall be a member of it. The Biddles Captured. Pittsburg, Special.—Edward Biddle in jail, dying, and his brother riddled with buchshot and in precarious con­ dition, and Mrs. ePter K. Soffel dying in the hospital with a bullet wound in the breast, is the sequel of the sensa­ tional escape of the Biddle brothers from the Allegheny county jail, by the assistance of Mrs. Warden Soffel. The story of the close of the Biddle tragedy which came at 7:45 Friday afternoon, is a thrilling one. ' Military Appropriations. Washington, Special.—The military appropriation bill has been practically completed by the house committee on military affairs and Chairman Hull will report it as soon as he returns from a trip to Iowa, which he is about to take. The bill carries approximately $91,000,000, which is about $10,000,000, below tho estimates and about $26,609,- 000 below the appropriation last year. " , -TtJ -,,ffh S-gjrf-TA Peace in South Africa. London, By Cable.—The British re­ ply to the note in regard to bringing a'bout peace in South' Africa, was dis­ patched Fi-Iday to The Hague. The con­ tents of the note are kept stirctly se­ cret, as the first publication of the text is intended to be made in Parliament, Monday, February 3. Great Britain’s reply is not in the nature of direct neg­ ative, though it is not unlikely that it will have that effect. While lord Lans- dbwne probably will leave a loophole for further suggestions, he doubts the ability of the Boer iJolegates to Gostrol thely Ieitow eoaateymea. I SCHLEY’S APPEAL. Tlie Admiral Shows Cause Why Court Opinion Shoald Be Set Aside. CASg IS THOROUGHLY REVIEWED Claims That Admiral Dewey’s Opin­ ion Should Be Adopted — Strong Argument Advanced. The Navy Department has made pub­ lic Admiral Schley’s appeal to the Pres­ ident, filed about a week ago. The De­ partment’s “comment” will be publish­ ed in a day or two. Admiral Schley appeals to the Pres­ ident as the Chief Executive and com- ffiander-in-chief of the army and navy “vested with power to regulate aud direct the acts of the several execu­ tive officers thereof,!’ and he asks the President to review the findings of the court. He asks this on three grounds, in each case basing his appeal on the findings of Admiral De^ey as opposed to the majority report. These three grounds are set out compendiously in the “petition,” whish fills a!«oufc eight printed pages oE a pamphlet and is signed by Admiral Schley, aud by Messrs. Rayner, Parksr and Teague, of his counsel. Attached to the petition are three exhibits, A, B and C, each m<ade up of copious extracts from the testimony taken by the court of inquiry and intended to confirm the statements of facts made in the petition iself. In this latter document Ihe first ground of appeal is the holding of Secretary Long in his endorsement on the court’s find­ ings that “the conduct of the court in making no finding, and rendering no opinion on those questions (that of command, and of credit for Jus vic­ tory) is approved—indeed it could with propriety, take no other course, evi­ dence on these questions during the in­ quiry having been exeUidad by the court.” On this point the petition says that the Secretary of the Navy was in error in stating that the court i-xelud- ed testimony to show, that, as Bewcy said, Schley was tl\2 nIftccr at the battle of Santiago, was in absolute command and was tlue the credit for the victory which resulted in the total destruction of ihe Spanish ships. On this point the petition says: “And your petitioner, ‘the applicant’ before said court of inquiry, now files with this petition an argument, together with a resume of the testimony taken diuring the inquiry in so far as it re­ lates to the questions as to who was in command at the battle of Santiago, in support of the presiding officer’s re­ port, that he acted within his authority and jurisdiction in reporting bis opln- on as hereinbefore set forth, and that the majority members of the said court failed in the discharge* of a most impor­ tant duty devolving upon them under the precept in that they did not re­ port their opinion upon the said ques­ tion; that it was incumbent upon such majority members to consider and de­ termine the said question for the rea­ son that only by so doing could they determine the propriety Cf the conduct of the said Schley in said battle, since it being a fact that he did assume command of the American forces there­ in engaged, his action would in the ab­ sence of the right and duty so to Co have been highly censurable and upon the questions of such right and duty and the propriety of I.is in the premises the sail Schley was entitled, under the precept, to n finding and an opinion from the maiority members as well as from the minority members of th& said court, and your petitioner re­spectfully requests that the said argu­ment and resume of testimony (which are attached hereto and marked ‘Ex­ hibit A* be considered as a part of this petition and is the Imsis for his prayer for relief In the premises." Therefore the petitioner asks the President to annul Secretary Long’s endorsement on this point, and that ho specifically approve Admiral Dewefs snateirent declaring that Schley w.-is in command. He says that only in this way can ex­ act justice be done him under the pre­cept.The second ground relates to the alleged withdrawal of the squadron at night from Santiago Bav and the char­acter of the blocade and the propriety of Commodore Schley’s conduct in the premises. This was ons of tho poinU upon which Admiral Dewey specifically dissented. The petition recites the find­ ings of -he court to the efl'e.n that the flying squadron did not withdraw at night, and declares that, by this state­ ment, the court obviated the necessity of the press opinion as to whether or not a close, adequate blockade was es­ tablished, and the propriety of Commo­dore Schley's conduct in the premises. It Is decided that if under this speci­ fication, the eighth, more than a ma­ jority of all the witnesses were exam­ined and about one-third of the whole period of the inquiry was consumed in its consideration, yet, “nofcwithstand-. ing the facts herein set forth, all of which appear upon the record of the said court, the concurring members thereof have failed utterly and entirely to discharge the most important duty imposed upon them by the terms of the said specifications, which duty was to report their opinion upon the questions of whether or not a close or adequate blockade of said harbor to prevent the escape of the enemy’s vessels there­from were established and the propri­ ety of Commodore Schley’s conduct in the premises.. Therefore Admiral Schley asks the President to annual the Secre­ tary^ endorsement, which makes “valid the failure of majority members thereof to report their opinion upon that portion of the said eighth specifi­cation.” And it is- also' asked that there be substituted therefor Admiral* Dewey’s bolding .“the blockade of San­tiago was effective.” Otherwise, the pe­ titioner states that he will be without a finding or opinion upon one of the most important specifications. The third recites that Admiral Dew­ ey, according to the evidence, held that “passage from Key West to Cienfuegos was made by the flying squadron with all possible dispatch, having in view the importance of arriving off Cienfue- gos with sufficient coal; that the block­ ade of Cienfuegos was effective, that the Adula was permitted to go in to gain information, and finally that the passage from Cienfuegos to a point off Santiago was made with as much dispatch as possible, while keeping the sjuadron a unit’’ Tho petition states X m tm opinion, bong at variance- in certain S f X S S - S S S S S f j s■ n-in OQph instance where it is at should he approves tor the *®xcep_ S S f f l " t h e Secretary of the 1T i 3 also asked that the PreSiaent annual that toendorsement which states. AS points on which the P*esldl“f diOers from the opinion of the I of the court, the opinion of the m_]on ty is approved,” and that m its place he substitute and approve the declara­ tion of Admiral Dewey onthesyjaints above referred to, connected with the passage in'oin Key West to Cienfuegos and thence to Santiago. The petition concludes: -“And your petitioner most respect- fully states that only by the action for which he prays in this iela^ r 1 exact justice be done him within tne contemplation of the precept, under which the said court sat and whence it derived its authority.”Exhibit A is an argument and a re­ sume of testimony concerning the question of command during the battle of Santiago. It is stated that the pre­ cept and instructions directed the coiart to. thoroughly inquire into all the cir­cumstances bearing upon Schley s con­ duct and the subject of the investiga- tion. Therefore counsel hold that it is an incontestable fact that the court was Authorized to determine the question of command at the battle of Santiago. The counsel then take up the question of fact as to whether the court did ac­tually entertain and consider the ques­ tion of command and to determine this point they submit a great number of excerpts from the official record of the court. These are based on testimony given by many officers.Counsel argues that the points in disnute and undicided by the court are detrimental to the service and to Schlfiv, and should have been settled. counsel next take up the question of the propriety and justice of Dewey’s opinion that Commodore Schley was in absolute command in the battle of San­ tiago and is entitled to the credit of the glorious victory, and quote many excerpts from the testimony to estab­ lish the correctness of this conclusion. It is recited that Sampson signalled to ‘‘disregard motions commander-in- chief,” when he started eastward that morning, thereby conferring command upon Schley. It is asserted that the New York did not reach the zone of last surrender of the last Spanish ships until one hour and 13 minutes after the battle ended, and that at 9:35 on the morning of July 3, the New York was out of sight of every ship of the block­ ading squadron but one, making it im­ possible for heir to communicate with any of them. Counsel also cite Secre­ tary Long’s statement to the Senate that Sampson was proceeding toward Siboney, when the Spanish ships emerged, under orders from the De­ partment to confer with Shafter, and it is held that these orders detached him temporarily from his command so that Schley was actually in command at the battle, by virtue o.f his rank: by the absence of Sampson, and by vir­tue of the fact that he was in authority as second in command of the American forces before Santiago and as senior line officer on the spot during every movement of actual battle, could and did exercise authority and command over the American forces actually en­gaged. Further argument on this ques­ tion of command is to the effect that Cook and Clark, the two ship captains present at the surrender of the Colon, recognized Schley’s senority, and also that Sampson’s order of battle failed entirely as-soon as the Spanish squad­ron succeeded in passing beyond the westernmost extremity of the American vessels. All of which, it is submitted goes to prove conclusively that tho in­ dividual opinion of Dewey was emi­ nently proper and wholly justified by the evidence and the naval regulations. Exhibit B elaborates and sustains the statements made in the petition !re­specting the passage of the flying squadron from Key West to Cienfue- gos. Exhibit C maintains that the major­ity of the court rejerej all of Schlny’s testimony and of his witnesses and says: “That if this testimony was all false, they should have so announced and if all or any part of it was true, the said applicant was entitled to the benefit of it and by declining to con­sider or pass upon it they have de­ prived him of his common law an! con­ stitutional rights COMMUNICATION INTERFERED WITH Telepraph and Telephone Poles and Wires Everywhere a Confused Lot of Wreckage. THE GRIP OF ICE. Ieavy Datnsge ia Ifie Sooth Caosed By Sieet. Little Rock, Arlc., Special.-The heaviest losses ever sustained in Little Rock from a like cause is the result of the terrible storm of sleet and cold rain Which has prevailed here for the past three days, culminating Wednesday night. Tho business section of the city is a scene of desolation. The estimated damage will exceed $400,000, including loss to business. Main street suffered more than any other part of the city, but residences all over to*n are more or less damaged. In some portions of the city the telegraph poles are all down, pulling trees and wires with them and forming a congealed mass of wreckage. Street cars were run ir­ regularly all day.The fall of sleet amounted to about five inches. Little Rock is practically shut off from the world. The Western Un'on lines are all down throughout the State. The Southern Telephone and Telegraph Company reports a loss of $25,000. The Little Rocft Telephone Company has not a line operating in the city. Most of its .wires are broken and many of its poles are down, all for four blocks on Louisiana street having fallen with a crash Wednesday morn­ ing. Crossed wires set fire to the office, but the flashes were easily extinguish­ ed. Fully 5,000 shade trees were de­ molished. Atlanta, Special—This section of the country according to the Weather Bu­ reau, was the meeting point of a high and low area, the former bringing a cold wave and the latter rain, which produced unsettled conditions which are expected to prevail for another day. A drizzling rain beginning early Thursday morning gave way at night to a dense fog, which has interfered with all kinds of wire communication and hampered local street car traffic. A sleet storm extended from the Ohio river as far south as Memphis and eadt to Chattanooga, almost paralyzing tele­ graph wires, while snow in Texas iso­ lated some parts of that State from the outside world. Southern tempera­ tures ranged from 16 at Asheville to at Key West. Louisville, Special.—An unusually severe sleet storm prevailed through­ out the greater portion of the .Ohio river valley early Wednesday, causing delay to railroad traffic and crippling telegraph service. Tho storm began here at 10 o’clock Wednesday night and from that time until early Thurs­ day sleet fell without cessation. This was followed by rain which froze as it fell, making locomotion for pedes­ trians and vehicles difficult. Street car traffic was at a standstill during part of the day. The Postal Telegraph and Cable Company sustained a heavy los» at night. Three poles carrying Postal wires, which were covered with dleet, fell and the wires landed across some trolley wires. In an instant the Postal company’s aperating room was full of blue flames and then was cut off from outside communication. Lexington, Ky., Special.—Lexington is in darkness and almost every street is blocked with fallen trees, telephone poles and tangled wires. The sleet, which began at midnight, continued without cessation all day and this evening the snapping of trees and pole3 was like cannonading. The few peo­ ple who are out carry lanterns. Tho mayor ordered all electric currents ex­ cept those supplying street car lines, which are yet operated, cut off for jaf- ety. Owensboro, Ky., Special.—Owensboro is completely buried in sleet. The dam- \ age to business interests’ is estimated at 575,000. Cumberland Telephone Com- ) pany’s and Home Telephone Company’s wires are broken aud in the streets. Their loss is $15,000. The electric plant is shut down and the gas plant is in bad shaoe. ELECTRIC LIGHTS STILL YOUNG.j Shown for the First Time at the Cen. tennial Exposition, in 1876. The electric light is new, and yet is so old that perhaps we do not appre­ ciate its mar v el on.s achievement. If we will but recall the condition be­ fore it came we shall see what a won­ derful advance it has been in the field of applied science. Its use in theaters, in stores, in show windows, In street illuminations, in private as well as public, its application for lighting in all sorts of out-of-the-way corners, its divisibility into various degrees of power, its absolute safety so lonig as the wires are properly guarded, its perfect sanitary qualities, the practi­ cal absence of heat and the entire ab­ sence of odor are things that make one feel that in the way of lighting we have come perhaps to the last dis- covery. Tet this light was shown in this country for the first time at the cen­ tennial exhibition—twenty-five years ago. And it is needless to say that those who saw it were skeptical of its practical use. Arc lighting was pro­ duced on a commercial basis in 1877 but Uie real beginning of electric light’ ing in its modern aspects was with h ™ T w lls the~Pearl street sta­tion of New York by Edison in Sep­ tember, 1882, where the Edison in­ candescent lamp was used.

VenlwBi Vh- A FEEE TRADE ALMANAC CURIOUS OUTGIVING ,’OF THE AMER- ICAN COBDEN1TES. Among tlio M eteorological M atters Set Forth 3To M ention 19 Made of the Ter­ rible Bclipse B ronght on by TarUTBe- forms fro m 1893 to 1897. A copy of the Free Trade Aimmrnn for 1902 has been received by the American Economist, bearing the im­ print, “Issued by the American Free Trade League, 602-3 Tremont Building, Boston, Mass., U. S. A. Price, Five Cents.” Cheap enough, one would say at first thought, and yet dear enough would be the second thought when one considers the cause in propagation of which the Almanac is put forth. For example, we find: “Its objects shall be to free our trade, our industries and our people frcm all tariff taxes except those imposed for revenue only, “Its method shall be to enlist con­ science, intelligence and patriotism against the system called protection, which at the dictation of organized wealth, taxes the whole American peo­ ple for the benefit of a few.” Five cents is a good deal of money to pay for that sort of thing! But there is a liberal discount for cash and large quantities. If you should happen to want 100, you may have them at two cents apiece. At that price no family need suffer for lack of the Free Trade Almanac. These are protec­ tion times, it must be remembered, and nearly everybody nowadays can scrape two cents together. It was not so, how­ ever, in free trade times of recent mem­ ory. In those days there were vast numbers of people who had lost their jobs and didn't have two ceuts to buy bread, much less a Free Trade Al­ manac. Commercially the outlook for this publication is better than it would have been four or eight years ago. Whether the enterprise will win its share of the general prosperity which its promoters had no hand in bring­ ing about, is another question. Be that as it may, the Free Trade Almanac is before the people, and its publishers are prepared to push it. They tell us that they have come up from small beginnings and that they are now in flourishing shape. The or­ der first saw the light in 1SS4, and was christened the Massachusetts Tar­ iff Reform League. In 18S8 it burst tlie bonds of Statehood and became the New England Tariff Reform League. Next it broke the shackles of tariff re­ form. and in 1891 blazoned forth as tlie New England Free Trade League. Last November it had grown so bold as to defy all local limitations, and it now calls itself the American Free Trade League. Under this title it may claim a practically unlimited juris­ diction in the Vvestern hemisphere. I t1 may hope for an Esquimau member from Cape Columbia in the Far North, and we are quite certain that it would not reject a cash consideration from Terra del Fuego. There is room for the organization to grow—anywhere outside of the United States. According to the Almanac: “The membership of the League now numbers over a thousand, representing forty States and Canada, and including a number of manufacturers, many business and professional men, and over thirty college professors and teachers of economics, President Chas. W . Eliot of Harvard, Dr. William G. Sumner of Yale, and many others. A more intelligent, patriotic body of men cannot be found. No sordid greed of gain brings them together,but the desire and hope of serving their country and redeeming her from the errors and oppressions of ‘protection,' and setting her upon the true path of justice, sound economics and world-wide commercial supremacy. Besides the annual dues, many of them zealously and generally aid the cause by voice, pen and money. Last year $5656 was thus contributed, twenty-four articles written by mem­ bers and others without pay, and 240,- 000 pamphlets sent broadcast over the country.” As an almanac pure_and_ simple we cannot conscientiously indorse the pub­ lication. It contains, to be sure, some meteorological matter of interest, but it leaves out much information that should have place-in a work of this character. For example, we are told that: "There will be five eclipses in 1902, three of the sun and two of the moon, four f which will be invisible in the Unned States.” But not a word about the terrible eclipse of lS93-’97, when the sun of prosperity was for nearly four years invisible behind a heavy bank of tariff reform clouds, and only emerged when the skies .were cleared by the._adyent of McKiniey and protection. Strange omission! Important as the publication may be considered by virtue of the pleas in behalf of industrial and com­ mercial devastation by a score or less of gifted contributors, it cannot be commended as an all around econom­ ical almanac. It may have its uses, but not, we-repeat, as an almanac. W onld Stim ulate H ostility. Reciprocity is being urged as a means of ptaving off ol* allaying European tariff hostility to the United States, yet it is more calculated to stimulate it. Whatever concessions we make to one nation we must make to its com­ petitors, or else we shall have all sorts of trouble. The matter of tariff would thus be transferred from Congress to the State Department, and constant tinkering would be the result. If we are going to make changes In our tariff rates it would be far better to make them direct and have them apply to all countries, than to begin frittering away the protection of our industries piece­ meal, with constant disturbance of trade because of the uncertainties o! the future. The interests that are be hind'this movement for extending thi markets for some of our products ax the expense of others are powerful and apparently have with them a strong following in the Senate, but it takes a two-thirds vote to ratify a treaty, and here is where they may fail.—San Jose (Cal.) Mercury. It is all very fine to talk about the romance of science. But what will the poor writers of tales of the sea do when time and space have been an­ nihilated by the 'sfoekes telegraph?? IN CONGRESS. Detailed Doing 3 of Our NationalLaw makers. Thirtieth Day.—Tiicrc was no ses­sion of the Hou«e, it having taken an adjournment till Wednesday. Thirty-first Day—There was no busi­ ness to present to the House Wednes­ day and it adjourned after being in session 25 minutes. Mr. Hopkins, of Ii Iinois, reported the permanent census bill, and gave notice that he would call it up Thursday. Mr. Maddox, of Geor­ gia, protested that the time was too short for members to familiarize them­ selves with the measure. A request to make the oleomargarine bill a special order for next Monday was objected to on the Demicratic side. Thirty-third Day—The House passed the bill for the creation of permanent Census Bureau. The friends of the Ciiril Oorvice-Iuw-W-JiG were opposed to making the employes of the bureau eligible for transfer or retention were overwhelmingly defeated. By the termg of the bill the permanent ^organization will succeed the present temporary or­ganization July I, 1902, and all em­ployes on the rolls upon the date of the passage of the act will become eligible for transfer to other departments or re­tention in the permanent organization. SENATE. Thirty-second Day—For an hour the Senate had under discussion the ques­ tion whether a censorship of press dis­ patches exists in Manila. While no such scenes were enacted as were wit­ nessed during Tuesday’s session, the debate for a time was very spirited. The Secretary of War was quoted as saying that no press censorship now existed in the Philippines ^nd a letter from General Greery, the chief signal officer of the army, was presented by Mr. Beverdige, of Indiana, making the statement officially that there was no censorship of press dispatches and that “the press is entirely free.” Cn the contrary, it was contended by the opposition that a press censorship did exist In the Philippines and that copies of every news dispatch filed with the cable company was filed with the mili­ tary authorities. That, it was main­tained, constituted a virtual censor­ship. Mr. Cullom, chairman of the commit­ tee on foreign relations, delivered an extended speech on the history of the reciprocity negotiations. Mr. Cullom maintained that the Dingley act could not limit the treaty-making power or the time in which the President shall make treaties. Thirty-third Day—The day’s session of the Senate was entirely void of the tumultuous scenes with characterized the sessions of the past thre days. Al­ ter the Philippine tariff measure was taken up at 2 o'clock Mr. Tillman deliv­ered a speech devoted almost entirely to a discussion of the part his State took in the war for the independence of the Colonies. Incidentally he referred occasionally to the pending bill, draw­ ing morals, as he said, for the benefit of the majority that they might be ap­ plied to the prevent trouble in the Philippines and to this Government's treatment of the Filipinos. Boy Shot at Baptizing. Rutherfordton, Special.—At a bap­ tizing at Cain Creek, near Chimney Rock Sunday, a drunken row occurred, in which a great part of the congrega­ tion was concerned. A 14-year-old boy named Williams was shot in the head with a 38-calibre pistol by a Slan named Jones. The wound is not con­ sidered dangerous.-There were ten men and boys actively engaged in the row with guns, knives and stones. Deputy Sheriff Mack Whitesides was on the ground, and arrested six and safely lodged them in jail here at an early hour. The other four dodged the offi­ cers and have not yet been captured. Leaves For Phifippines. Oxford, Ga., Special.—Dr. Coulter, of the chair of biology of Emery College, has tendered his resignation, to take effect at once. Owing to the circum­ stances the resignation was accepted, and Prof. Coulter has left the college. He resigned in order to accept the di­ rectorship of the United States Botani­cal Garden in the Philippine Islands. His headquarters will be in Manila. Prof. Coulter will go to the Philippines almost at once after a short stay in Washington. Used a Shot-Gun. Albemarle, N. C., Special.—Sam Hearne and John Harris, two negroes, got in a drunken row at Kingville, a negro suburb, yesterday afternoon, which wound up by Harris shooting Hearne with a shot-gun. About 125 shot took effect, loosing in his side and face. One shot hit between the eyes, flattening it out. Hearn says that this gave him more pain than any of the others, as he experienced a slight head­ache from the effects of it. Harris sur­rendered to the officers this morning, waived examination and. was bound over to the Superior Court. Robbed the Mails. Savannah, Ga., Special.—J. C. Legree, colored, mayor and assistant postmast­ er of Burroughs, Ga., a colored settle­ ment, was arcrrsted by Postofflce In­ spector Lewis on a charge of robbing the mails. A decoy letter was sent through the office containing money. The letter and the marked money were found on Legree’s person. Legree was a sort of pooh-bah of the village, hold­ing almost every office in it. He claim­ ed that he was only retaining the letter ber^-se the postage On it was insuffi­cient. v' A Story ef Danao. Danae was a. character In Greek mythology, the daughter of Acrisins, King of Argos, one of the kingdoms of Greece in the days of Homer. An or­ acle had announced that she would one day give hirth to a son who should kill his grandfather. Acrisius for safe­ ty’s sake shut her up in a dungeon, where nevertheless she was visited by tfcc god Jupiter, in a shower of gold, and became the mother of Perseus. Acrisius next put both the mother and child into a chest and exposed them to the sea. The chest, however, drifted ashore on the island of Seriphos, and Danae and her child were saved. She remained on, the island until Perseus had grown up and became a hero, fa­ mous for his exploits; afterwards she accompanied him to Argos. On his ar­ rival, Acrisius fled, hut was subse­ quently slain accidentally by Perseus at Larlsg&CT^t^ ’HsBAU and Star. THE BEST MARKET. Jfc Is Riglit Here a t Home W here W s W ork and Live. In this day of talk of reciprocity treaties and revision of the tariff the crowded condition of the railroads and mills is suggestive. The railroads can­ not handle the traffic that is offered them for domestic buyers. The mills cannot make rails fast enough for the railroads. The car shops cannot make cars fast enough. The struo tural ‘steel mills are crowded with the orders of home buyers. Railroad build­ ing In-the United States is in a class by itself, as compared with the prog­ ress made by any other country. A nation of 76,000,000 people is as busy as bees, manufacturing, transporting, or producing marketable commodities. Of the total results the proportion that goes abroad to seek a market is trivial compared with that which seeks a market at home. Our mineral product exported equals four per cent, of the total output. Our agricultural exports, enormous as they are, do not equal in value the combined worth of the wheat and com crops of the country. Wo use at home ten times as much breadstuffs and meat products as we sell abroad. The foreign market is worth to the United States but a small percentage of what the domestic mar­ ket is worth, and even that small per­ centage is less profitable, because It is a market that must bo fought for and coaxed continually, as against the com­ petitors of the world.. The remarka­ ble impetus that has been given the mills of the United States does not come from the foreign demand, but from the domestic wants. If the local need keeps on increasing, the compar­ atively small foreign market may have to be cut off until the home trade is taken care of. The home market is the best market in the world and is steadily growing better. It lias increased more in the past five years than the foreign mar­ ket has in fifty years, and is capable of unlimited expansion. It is the mar­ ket to nurse for profit.—Pittsburg Times. • L *• 15cn Ratltsr'a Way. “No lawyer of the last century took such liberties with the court as Gen. Butler,” said a Bostonian. “He ran riot over judges and juries, and in his later years was even petted and humored by opposing counsel. I happened to be in court on an occasion when he was de­ fending a client charged with a most serious offense against the communi­ ty. The case attracted groat attention. On the third day the defendant did not appear and the judge asked Butler to be good enough to produce him. Tt is impossible, your honor,’ said the gen­ eral. ‘But the business of the court must proceed. The learned counsel will produce the defendant,' said the judge severely. Butler repeated: Your honor, it is impossible. The de­ fendant is not in my keeping. After a consultation with him last night I came to the conclusion that he was guilty and felt it was my duty, as his legal adviser, to warn him to leave.the state immediately. He departed, youi honor, without informing me of his destination.’ The jury laughed out­ right, and ihe solemn judge had to re­ tire to his room to conceal his ris- ibles.” An ugly temper is L prettv good thing V m n tro l.

THAT the results of the Inter- natioual Good Roads Con­ gress recently held in Buf­ falo will be far reaching and of great public interest there can be little doubt. The interest shown in the convention by the officials of the vari­ ous States of the Union and by for­ eign governments is a guarantee that the movement for better highways has taken firm root, and will grow and flourish. Forty-two States and three foreign governments were represented at the Buffalo meetings, Belgium send­ ing as a delegate across the Atlantic one of her best known civil engineers, who Is an expert on the subject of roads. The expression of opinion as to the best methods of building and main­ taining roads showed a wide diversity of ideas, but the result of all the dis­ cussions was the announcement that the better plan for each section would be to use the material nearest at hand and best adapted for highway pur­ poses. This was almost a foregone conclusion. It was shown by Pro­ fessor Holmes, State Geologist of North Carolina, who was one of the. speakers, that there were places in South Carolina where roads could be built for $125 or $150 a mile. As a con­ trast to this Captain Chittenden, of the army engineers, in charge of Yel­ lowstone Park improvements, showed that it cost in some places In the great National pleasure ground about $125 d mile to keep the roads properly wa­ tered in summer. The experiences of New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecti­ cut and New York were largely drawn upon for the benefit of the Southern and Western States, and the explana­ tion of the workings of the= Higbie- Avmstvong law in the State by State Engineer Bond was of great value. The employment of convicts in road building was urgently advocated, as was the creation of a Road Bureau in the Department of Agriculture, ex­ panding the present duties of the Of­ fice of Public Road Inquiries. The point of convict employment Is one on which there has been .a great deal of discussion, and the value of convict labor on the highways of the various States was shown by Senator Earle, of Michigan, whose announcement tiiat 36,000,000 days* labor was locked up In the prisons and peniten­ tiaries of the United States, which could be utilized in improving high­ way conditions caused many of the delegates to decide on active measures looking to that end before their respec­ tive legislatures. There seems to be no good reason why convicts should not be employed in this way. The cry of opposition to or competition with free labor is practically eliminated. The men are busy on works of public utility and importance, and with the State owning the material for grinding rock and producing good road material, many miles of perfect modern highway could be made each year with little more expense than is now entailed in keeping these men in comparative idleness. There will be. a number of measures presented to the various legislatures at their next sessions cov­ ering this point, and it might be well for voters who are in favor of good roads—and that means every voter who thinks on the subject at all—to look after aspirants for legislative honors, and make sure .that they have decided views on the subject.—New York Tribune. \ — R o a d Im p ro v e m e n t This is the season of the year when the Boarfis of Supervisors are in ses­ sion throughout the State, anfi that means a considerable degree of atten­ tion to the very important question of good roads. This has grown to Be one of the most important matters with which Supervisors have to deal. Though other counties are giving much attention to road improvement, Oneida seems to deserve to ranjs first in this consideration. Broome County also is mating commendable headway through her league. At the last election nine towns in Oneida voted to substitute the money for the labor system of caring for roads, making a total of thirteen towns In Jhe -County -fftVpring Jijtat^yptem. This means that in Oneida alone near­ ly 1000 miles of highway will be under this system next year. In other coun­ ties similar conditions will prevail, the people of the State voting quite gener­ ally to use the money system in caring for the highways. Under the money system the -State is required to pay twenty-five per cent, of the sums levied by a town for high­ way improvement unless that twenty- ty-flve per cent, exceeds one-tenth of one per cent, of the taxable valuation of the town.There are many roads which cannot be improved under the provisions ot the Hibbic-Armstrong Iatv for many years, if ever, and the promptest means to get them improved is to do the work under the Fuller law, or as it is com­ monly known, under the. money sys­ tem. This is one of the reasons why the towns of the State have so gener­ ally voted to use that system.—Syra- cusa Post-Standard. W ide Tixes and Good Bonds. ‘ At the Missouri Agricultural College they found by actual test that on blue grass sward the same draft that pulled 2000 pounds on a wagon with one and one-half inch tires would pull a load of 8248 pounds on a wagon with three- inch tires. The narrow tires cut ruts that could be seen all the season, and if running down a hill might be well adapted to start a gully or ditch in which the fertility of the surface soil would wash away, while the three-inch tire with the heavier load made no marked impression on the sward land.

Moodv knows that, so far as Xor h Catolinians are concern- cl they will overturn auy party, however stnmnly entrenched when they make up their minds to do so, ri'giir'.Uws of election laws or other Iiiiiehuiery. A moreintamous elee tiou la«- to keep a party iu power, was never enteredUpon a stature Imok than that passe-1 by the .fu- Bi ii legislature in 1895 and amend­ ed Iiy a like body in ISHT; and no out thinjr contributed to tiie over­ throw of that party in '1898 more than did the mischievous provis­ ions of Ihal election law and the manner of its, administration. The present election law of this State, enacted by the Democratic, legislature, is absolutely fair and just in every respect to every par­ ty, and in not a single one of its provisions c:i n or will a single citi­ zen entitled to vote under the siHietiileI roiiKtitntion and the laws iioif prevailing and applicable to all citizens without discrimination he denied tho right or privilege of Vctinsr.

Tire people of this Stiite not only demand honest conduct of tlie elec­ tions, but tiiey arc going to de­ mand that parties put forward can­ didates whose integrity as well as couduct generally entitle them to support, or there will be a ‘ (lill'erence in the morning” aftei election.—Vostj Dem. The above clipped from tbe Raleigh Post a Deinocyfttie paper OfFebriury 5th, makes interesting mdiug. We want to spei d a few wjuients in dissecting it. The be- Kinmng of the article pays Maj. Moody a high compliment, be­ muse the Vost thinks the Maj. U oppose I to any interference with Wemoatatie methods in these parts. The measures ltefore Congress look­ ing to tlie suppression of fr-tnd in Soiuher.i Hlectious are stirring up a veritable hornet’s iiest among «r Democratic lYiemls; those toiiaocrais who are so wedded to a, -sIriet construction of the constitn- lion. We say that if the Cousti- tiitiou can be annulled, and trainp- Ifl upon by our Dfimocratic friends 111 onIer to put themselves in pow- er> ^at they should at least be estopped from being allowed, to t'laiin that they are the ouly de­ ciders aud preservers of that Wcred instrnmeut. - It’s mighty nice for the-Vost to talk-about self f®peet, and pride of. sectiou Avhcn 51 ** ilfraid.that it’s party’s .meth- 01 * are going to be -enquired into.

Self-respeet ami pride of section indeed !! Go back Kr. Vost aud sit down, for your article shows that you are op­ posed to honest elections when it comes to the point of giving the Republicans a fair showing iu these parts. Why any party should object to a lair election law is be­ yond the comprehension of all hon est men. The Editor of the Rec­ ord hopes Ine South’s representa­ tion will not have to be cut down, but if we Ciin r get a free ballot aud a fair count without reducing it, then let it come. We are in fav-or of a Jfatioual law supervising the elections of members of Congress and presidential electors, and if u-cessary let Congress prescribe the qualification of voters at this election and see that all who have a right to vote are protected iu that right.. In the second paragraph of the Vost’s editorial it makes a sweep ing allegation when its editor says that the election law of 1895 wa* the most in f a m o u s e v e r e n t e r ­ e d UPOS A SrATCTE BOOK. UoW we i re going to call the Vost, please give us the section or sections of that law that are infamous, and if yon prove your assertion, we will publish it in the Record and admit the truth of your coateution. Kow put up Mr. Post, or admit that yon have made an assertion that you cannot prove, and which the law itself completely refutes. A distinguished lawyer of New York who examined this law, said it was one of che fairest he had ever seen, yet the Vost say s it was infamous, Yes Mr. Vost, from a Democratic standpoint it was infamous, for un­ der P s provissions every legally qualified voter could vote.and have that vote counted as cast, aud thus de-.eat Democraey iu this State; and chat made it infamous. Aud the Vost says no one thing contributed more than that Unv to overthrow the Republican party; thisisad- mitted, lor the simple reason that your crowd then began to resort to fraud, iujimidation aud Red shirt- Liin in order to suppress a fiee bal lot, kuowiug it Wiis your ouly means to get iu power. The Vost to its credit, passes over the election laws of 1897 and 1900, aud the Simmons macliiue methods which followed; and when you talk about Force Bills hold your nose when you are reminded of lS9Sand 1900. Congresscaiinotcommit a greater outrage on decency aud good mor­ als than has for long, been com- niitied by your crowd Mr. Post. Vour crowd have encouraged and allowed your election officers to Stealandcoininitperjnrjr, and al­ ter returns, and stuff ballot boxes, aud deny to thousands their con­ stitutional rights both Stnte and Xational, aud then you talk abont •‘SEr.r-BESPECT a n d p e id e o f se c t io n .” Great God! what a gang we have to deal with in thin State. Decency indeed ! Read chapter 181 of Ijiw s of 1901 and chapter 823 of same acts; espe cially chapter j.81. V\ here your crowd put its hand down into the treasury and took out the peoples money,.- to pay the expense of de fendiiig ineu who had violated the laws of our State. Vride and self- respect again. If you had made an appropriation to pay attorney fees aud expense of all who were iu- dicteid aud who proved thier inno­ cence, no one could have object­ ed, but to pay for the guilty caps tbe climax. Jfow Mr. Post, read this portion of section 13, election law of 1901. •‘Every Sheriff or Tax Collector upon payment of the pill tax, shall issue to the person paying the same a certificate showing T H E AM OUNT O F SU CH POLL ta x iind the true date upon which the same was paid.” Niiw Jl r. .Post telius why; your Denio cratic Shcriff-<rfWafee county and Jonr Democi-iiUc Tax Collectoj.'.. of Buncombe county are not giving to the taxpayers a receipt in accar- dance with the requirements of the law I Vleiise tell un is there a trick in this matter ? In order to jog tbe Postwith “'a s e n s e o f SFI/F-BESPECT, AND PKIDE OF sec tio n , we refer to its considera­ tion chapter 270 of the laws of 1901. Read this Mr. Post, and you will see to what depths of in­ famy your crowd descended, this is oue of the most infamous acts in the various chapters of crimes com­ mitted in the gigantic stea1. The prison doors standing open to re­ ceive your criminal election offi cers. you close that door by re­ pealing that section of the Code under which they con d have been indicted in our State courts It the elections were honestly and fairly held will the Editor of the Post please tell why this section of the Code was repealed, why this amnesty act was ratified on the 26th day of February 190L? Inno­ cent, honest men needed no such protection. It was ilo; e to pay the Ante Election promises made to the thieves who did the stealing for the Simmons Machine, for which your “sense of self-respect and pride of section” was com­ pleted. Stop throwing self-res­ pect, aud pride of section at Re­ publicans Mr. Post; you need it at home. ARE YOU WISE W i f c nation there is ao remedy to equal 'Mexican Mustang IilnlBienU MAJ. J. -E- Al,EXANDSB "Will Continue to Practiceinthe Federal Courts. To the Editor of tlie Record: My attentiou has becu called to a news item appearing in theOi; r Iottc Observer some days ago, sent out by its Winston correspondent while I was iu Greensboro atteud- ing Federal Court, in which it said that I have retired from the practice in the criminal cases in the United States Court. The ar­ ticle is unauthorized by me. I rarely reply to anything the newspapers lire pleased to say about me. I recognize that this is a legitimate part of newspaper business. I wish to say, however, in this instance, that its reporter never had any interview with me on the subject reported; that I have spent tlie.most of the years of my life in study and preparation for the practice of the law, aud that I intend Co practice so long as I live aud litigants ami clients desire my services and will pay a reasonable compensation for the same. _ As to my appearance heretofore in Federal Courts, I wish to say that.Jr. Holton and. I have had only 'a limited partnership, and that we have had uo partner­ ship in any way in any cases to which the United States was a par­ ty. He has never received one cent or any. other sum of the fees so earned by we, aud nev^r sha’l. My appearance against the U. Attorney in cases in which we could not appear together has been perfectly legal, lawful and legiti­ mate- As a question of ethics, I can find nothing iu Sliarswood’s Ethics, the book prescribed by tlie Supreme Court of this Stiate, or iii the rules of the State Bar Associa­ tion of which I am a member, which forbids it. Similar part­ nerships tor the practice of law have existed from time immemor­ ial iu this State. Wrhen Hon. - B. F, Long, of Statesville, was Solici­ tor, his la Jr partner.

Messrs, Simmons, Pou & Ward, of Raleigh, appeared against their law partner in civil business, Hon. E. W. Pou, as do Messrs. Webb & Webb, of Shelby, Messrs. Ferguson & Ferguson, of Waynes- ville, and other law firms in the State. I have received many let­ ters from many distinguished law­ yers to this effect but shall content myself with enclosing one from Gov. Aycock. himself a distin­ guished lawyer.' - ' .Mr..

However, I do not desire to have a representative of the United States criticised on my account. and if my remaining a partner with Mr. Holton- in civil busi ness subjects him to criticism Iw ishthe public to know that that partnership is dissolved. t ^ m easy way and a sure way to treat a case of Sore' Throatin order to . kill disease germs and insure healthy throat action is to- take half a glassfull of water put into it a teaspoonful of Mexican Miustang l^ixrimeni ■ and Tritb this gargle tbe throat at frequent intervals.* Then bathe the outside of the throat thoroughly with, the 2inl- J jnent and after doing this pour some on a soft cloth and wrap/ around the nock.

OBJECTS TO SCHLEY’S STATEMENT TTiat The Latter Was in Full Com­ mand When the Spanish Fleet Was Destroyc d. Wshtngton, Special.—E. S. Theall1 Tepresenting Stayton1 CampbeJl & TheaU1 counsel for Rear Admiral Samp­ son. have filed the following brief with President Roosevelt, protesting against the claim set up in Admiral Schieys • appeal that he was in supreme com­ mand dtring the battle off Santiago. •'No argument will be submitted as to the volunteered opinion of the pre­ siding member of the court upoft the Question of command at Santiago. ■- 1R e repeatedly applied for an opportunity to present evidence upon this point to the court, and our request was as often- refused, and we are confident that an attempt to reproduce an adverse judg­ ment wbcce a hearing has been denied is so plain a violation of simple good faith that has no chance of receiving your approval. We-were ready then and are still ready to produce much evidence which was not offered before the court on this Question. We are pre­ pared to show mat the statement that the New York, at the beginning of the baffle 'was out of sight of each and every shin n: ;*a..sqvhdron but one* is inaccurate. “We are ready to show tbat under the navy regulations and the judicial interpretations thereof, Rear Admiral Sampson was during the battle in command of every single vessel in the American line. There is abundance of testimony available to show that.from the beginnning of the battle every American vessel at Santiago was in sight of the New York. There is evi­dence at hand, both record and parol, to show tbat whenever the eommaad- er-in-chief left the blockading line In front of Santiago, he hoisted the signal 'disregard movements of commander- in-chief.’ proceeded to’ that point where under the regulations hi3 immediate command of the squadron ceased and then s’gnallcd to the next in rank to lake command; and that on the morn­ing of July 3, r.he comznas'der-in-ch-st had given instructions to have Aady for hoisting the signal directing Com­modore Schley to assume command, and that this signal was to be hoisted when, under the regulations, the ap­ propriate movement arrived: that that such signal had cot been hoisted when the enemy endeavored to escape from thb harbor.“From the Oregon, too. there is available evidence to show that when the first shot was fired the quarter­master of the Oregon. usi~g- the long glass, could, from the position of tbat vessel, near the centre of the Unc1 read the Now York’s battle signals then JJy- lng. '“AU this evidenc-j was ready to be presented to the court of inquiry and was not admitted before the court, be­cause it refused to go into the question of command. Rear Admiral Sampson has never objected, and does not now object, to any inquiry to determine the question Cf command. He has, how­ ever, claimed that he was In command at the battle. As commander-in-chief he has made his r*:c*ommendations con­ cerning the promotions. He has been recognized by the Executive and Ju­dicial Departments of the Government as being the accuracy of his reports is questioned, he be at least permitted to hear the evidence in opposition, and to permit h’s brother officers to come .. Jorward with the testimony they are ready to give in hisbehalf . “There is further an abundance of evidence available to establish the fact that what the applicant now calls 'the complete and total failure of the prear­ranged order of battle.’ .was due wholly to his own disobedience of the orders of the commander-in-chief. These or- - ders were to close in and to hold the enemy At the:harbor’s mouth. Com­ modore Schley so understood the or­ ders. He hoisted that very signal. Yet, when he saw the enemy approaching that part of the line guarded by his town vessel he looped. He withdrew from the battle formation, left a hole In the line, interefered with the Texas. SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL A Measure Itt the House to Annex Cuba to United States. HOUSE.Thirty-eighth Day—Representative Kewlands1-Of Nevada, of the means committee, who was the an^ho. of the resolution annexing Hawaii, in­troduced a joint resolution inviting the republic of Cuba to become a partJM the United States, first as a Terri.ory and then as a State of the Unuted States, to be called the State of Cuoa 1 also authorizing a 25 per cent, reduc­tion Of duty on the pcesen. crop o. Cuban sugar, in eons'.derat.on of Cuna a granting preferential rates to the Uni­ted States. The resolutions confine the 25 per cent, reduction of duties to ihe period prior to January I, 190». Th- provision of annexation is as follows.“That In the meantime the republic of Cuba is invited to become a part Ot the United States of America and her people to became citizens o. the Uaitea States with the assurance that Cuba will be entitled at first to a territorial form of government under the cons.i- tution and laws of' the United States with a Delegate in Congress to repre­ sent her people, and that ultimate statehood will be granted when, In the judgment of the Congress, it is advis­ able to admit Cuba, Including such other Westdpdia islands belonging to the United States os may be decmeu advisable, as/a single State in the Union to be^called the State of Cuba.Thirty-ninth Day—The day was de­ voted to a further hearing of Gov. Taft's Philippine report. At 4:35 p. m. it adjourned.Fortieth Day—There was but little interest in the House proceedings. The business under consideration was of a purely routine nature. The House ad­ journed to Monday. SENATE.Thirty-eighth Day-Throughout the day’s session the Senate had under con­ sideration the urgent deficiency appro­ priation bill and just before adjourn­ment passed it, substantially in the shape in which it was reported to the Senate by the committee.During the early part of the session the case of Judge Arthur H. Noyles. of the District Court of Alaska, and Alex­ ander McKenzie and others, which was brought to the Senate by Mr. Tillman a day or two ago, was discussed.Mr. McCumber 1 of North Dalrota. de­ livered an elaborate speech in defense of Judge Noyles and Mr. McKenzie. He paid a high personal tribute to both men, characterizing them as men of fine character, eminent ability and sterling intergrity. incapable of doing the things with which they had been charged. In the course of his argument he became involved in a colloquy with Mr. Tillman. The South Caroiina Sen ator had intimated that he would de­liver a speech on the Noyes case, but at the conclusion of Mr, McCumber’s speech, he contented himself practical Iy by putting into The Congretsional Reccrd the decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals of San Francisco in the cases of contempt against Noyes and McKenzie.In a brief speech Mr. Stewart review­ed the case, taking rtrong ground against Judge Noyes and his actions In Alaska. During Mr. MeCumber’s remarks he referred to what, to his mind, was ap­ palling corruption in Alaska.Mr. Tillman, of South Carolina, In- terruped to inquire whether Mr. Me- Cumber did not think he owed it to the Senate to give it all the facts con­cerning the “damnable corruption” of certain United States Courts, to which he had referred.Mr. McCnmber replied that he had not accused the member’s of the San Iranciseo Circuit Court of Appeals of anything worse than prejudice and bias. The conclusion of the court, he said, were based for the most part upon evidence the Senator from South Carolina <Mr. Tillman) would not give the least credence to. He asserted that Mr. Tillman had cast serious asper- liens npon a'man as honorable as he was—a man whom the South Carolina Senator might meet outside the cham­ ber, and there, if ho saw fit, call the vile names he had applied to him. Mr. Tillman disclaimed any iniention to refiect improperly! upon anybody, his remarks, he said, being directed at the Department of Justice, practi­cally, for not doing its duty in prompt­ ly investigating and acting upon this case, scandal as had developed in this case whoever were the guilty parties. He insisted that either the iudaes of the Circuit Court of Appeals of Sao Francisco wore guilty of some infamy, New Enterprises That Are Enrlthlng Onr Favored Section. An illustration of the possibilities of industrial development in the South is seen in the Slayden-Kirksey Woolen Mills of Waco, Texas, This institution, which was established in 1884, annual­ ly consumes 1,009,900 pounds of wool, which-is obtained within a radius of 150 miles of the city. This- company employs 6C9 operatives, and from the raw product carries the jrool through to the finished garment, jmakihg wors­ teds, cassinreres and pants, which are sold In twenty-one States, twenty-six traveling men being employed for that purpose. It is the boast.of. this com­ pany that under one roof it carries its work from the sheep to the finished garment, having the necessary facili­ ties and machinery for treating the wool through all stages of preparation. The steamship Cyclades cleared last week from Savannah, Ga.,for Barcelona and Genoa with 2012 tons of high-grade Florida phosphate roclr, valued at $20,- 120, with other cargo. NINE MEN KILLED.

"We have no desire to prolong this controversy. We only ask that befo-e there shall be a finding advccse to Ad­miral Sampson, either by the President the courts or the Navy Department, that he be given the opportunity which has been given to admiral Schley, to present such evidence as may make both sides of the matter clear.” The President will consider the brief in connection with Admiral Schley’s appeal and the Navy Department’s comment Hisdecision ln the Schley ease will not be made public until'af­ter his return from Charleston. Two Killed in Fire. Horton, Kan., Special—Fire in the big car works of the Rock Island Rail­ road Friday afternoon caused the death of two persons and the destruction of a quarter of a million dollars worth of property. The dead are: P. H. McKeon1 president of the board of edueation, and W. H. Davis, the oldest employe of the ear works. Desers Hanged. Washington, Special.—Two soldiers were undoubtedly hanged In the Phil­ippines Friday, In the execution of sen­ tences imposed by military commis­sions by which they were tried and convicted of deserting to the enemy. Their names were Edmund A. Du­ bose and Lee Russell, and both were attached to Company E, of the Ninth Cavalry, a negro regiment While their company was operating against the in­ surgents in the province of Albay, in August last the two men deserted Be*- Four Children Barn-d. - Cumberland. Md., SpodaL—At 3 o’clock Saturday: morning, tbe farm house of Wm. P. Robertson, about 29 miles east.of here, on the Maryland side of the Potomac river, was entirely destroyed by fire, and four Of the Rob­ ertson children, Pearl, Owen, Bttie and - Joseph, the eldest aged 10 and the youngest 4 years, were cremated. The fire, which is thought to have started from sparks from an open hearth, spread.so rapidly that Mr.' and Mrs Robertson found all means of-escape gone for-the children, who were in the eeco3d atoiy.> • . ^ : who had been arraigned so seriously and to see that their side of the con­troversy should go into The Record. Mr. Tillman said that he appeared In the role of a defender of United States courts when he was on record as hav- ing made many scathing criticisms of | the Federal -judiciary, but. he remark­ed. facetiously, that he would not he doing his duty by his clients, the three judges of thq San Francisco Circuit Court of Appeals, whom he had gotten into hot water, if he did net atempt at least to eool the water a little. The South Carolina Senator, saying that the debate had been precipitated by the leading by him of a clipping from a newspaper, read a dispatch printed In a New York newspauer charging Beu Daniels, whom the Senate had con­ firmed as United States marshal of Arizona, with being entirely unworthy to hold that office. Mr. Tillman made some scathing comments upon the judiciary committee for passing such a nomination favorably. He supposed, he 3a1d. that Senators from the State from wh’ch Daniels hailed now would fee! called upon to criticise hiin for intro­ ducing this newspaper clipping, but he did it simply “to hold up the mirror in order that the other side might see themselves as others saw them.” Thirty-ninth Day—The Senate was in se»3ion but 30 minutes. The discus­ sion of the BhiUppine tariff occupied the time. Fortieth Day—While the Philippine tariff bill was taken up early In the day, the session waa notably quiet. Mr. Turner, of Washington, delivered a carefully-prepared speech upon the general Philippine question, and had not concluded when the bill was laid aside for the day. He discussed par­ticularly the legal and constitutional questions involved in tbe government. and c-otftrol.of the Philippine archipel­ago by the United Stales. After a brie: explanation atm tne aopotton oi only minor amendments tbe pension appro­ priation bill was passed early in the tension. During the consideration of the pen­sion appropriation bill, Mr. Pritchard, if North Carolina, offered an amend­ ment. providing that a man who -had served in the Confederate army, but subsequently sccved in the Union army, should have a pensionable sta­tus. A .point of order- against the tmeadment by Mr. Gallinger was sus­tained. I Industrial M iscellany. C arolina N orthern Extensions.

St. Louis, SpeclaL-At last nine men were killed and as many more injured in a fire which broke out Tuesday night In the five-story stone and brick build­ ing located at No. 314 Chestnut street, occupied by the American Tent and Awning Company. The building sud­ denly collapsed and although the half- dozen men who were caught In the crash had not been reached by their sard working companies, two hours la­ ter, it is almost absolutely certain that they have succumbed. The dead: August Thierry, first assistant chief, caught in the ruins; Michael Keboe, resistant foreman, caught In tbe ruins; Daniel Steele, foreman, caught in ru­ ins; Wm. Dander and Charles Kron- ing, pipemen, Patrick Berger, assistant foreman, three pipemen, names un­ known, caught in ruins. The injured: Frank Lingo, fir rr of aerial truck, IhrowiT from trtcx while’ working 40 feet above the ground; Monroe Moore, inspeclor for the Itpperial Electric Light Company, badly injured by fall­ ing through a shaft; Patrick McCarthy, engineer, caught by falling walls, se­ riously hurt; IVilliam Julieb1 driver for Marshal Thielly, caught by failing walls, seriously hurt.The building in which the fire origi­ nated was located In the old business section of the city and was about fifty years old. The b'aze, which proved a master, had been brought practically under control when suddenly, with ab­ solutely no warning, the building col­ lapsed and came down In a heap with a noise that could be heard for blocks. Three pipemen at work on the second floor had had difficulty, in managing a of hose and Assistant Chief The wages .of sis paid by tbe day.are sometimes line - u, ,I... — ------- Thierry was on his way with .three of his men to lend them aid when the building collapsed. The men went down with tons of twisted iron, brick, stone and wooden columns enveloping them. Chief Swlngley, who was in front of the building, directing his men, had a miraculous escape from death. As the front wall fell outward he hurried across the street and fell under the aerial truck. The truck was covered with debris and partially wrecked, and it was to its sheltering protection that the chief owes his life. Frank Lingo, driver of the truck, was directing a stream on the fire from the aerial lad­ der, about 40 feet from the ground when the wall fell. A portion of the debris struck him and he was hurled through the air to the ground, receiv­ ing probably fatal injuries.Chief Swingley put his entire force to work at once and made an effort to rescue the firemen, but although the men worked heroically they had not been able to reach the victims at mid­ night. It is certaiv that all are dead, as tons of debris cover them.Following is a list of the losses: American Tent and Awning Company, 335,000; McLean estate, loss building, $25,000; Herman Ruppelt, job printer, $10,000; scattering, $3,000. SeinnonitIo Newspapers Eeclim ins to EUcasa the Value of tile rrotcctlvo ITlncIliIo as Applied Io Southern In ­ dustry aad A griculture. A number of newspapers published In Southern cities are engaged in a discus- skin which is certain to be productive of good results. It is a healthful sign when Democratic newspapers in that part of the country tall to discussing tariff matters as related to the inter­ ests and welfare of their own people. That is what is now going, on. It should be kept up. Southern people are, as a rule, averse to taking tlleir political cues from Republican news­ papers, but they are WiIiiag to receive argument when advanced by journals of their own political faith. In this way they are likely to absorb some new ideas on the tariff question—ideas now to them, but very old and very strongly In favor in other parts of the country.A considerable portion of the Demo­ cratic press of the South seems to have awakened to the fact that the Repub­ lican doctrine of protection to domes­ tic labor and industry is worth while considering, in spite of the fact that it is Republican doctrine. These news­ papers have begun to suspect that the protective tariff is not a sectional af­ fair—not, as Calhoun used to preach, after he turned free trader, a device for the enrichment of the North at the expense of the South, but a policy which build3.up and benefits all parts of the country, IVc find evidences of this gratifying discovery in a recent issue of the Charleston News and Courier, a rock-ribbed Democratic pa­ per, as follows: VThe Louisiana delegation. It need not be said, is wholly consistent with itself in supporting the application of the Dingley tariff to the products of the foreign Philippines, and it is right besides. There is no justice In the ag-, rlcuitural interests of the South and West being butchered to make a reciprocity holiday for the'manufac­ turing interests of the East And the delegations from Western States will doubtless be forced to be of the same mind. Let well enough alone; or, if the holy tariff must be scaled, let it he scaled even.” Commenting on this expression the New Orleans Item says: “This is in line with Senator He- Laurin’s views, and indicates that since South Giroiina has become the foremost cotton manufacturing State of the South, her views are getting back to those entertained by John G. Calhoun before the day3 of slavery agitation. And yet, notwithstanding the necessity for a protective dniy to defend and build up cur cotton mills, wo find every Democrat in the House, except three Louisianians, voting to break down the tariff wall and let the products Cf a hundred fertile islands and ten millions of cheap laborers into the United States in competition with «nr sugar and cotton.” Tha Item then proceeds to remind the Democrats of the Southern States that they are badly and Wrongly repre­ sented on the tariff question in Con­ gress. It points out that the cotton grower is as much interested in a pro- s the sugar grower, S O U T H E R N RAILWAY, Gutrai Tlina at Jacksm vilta Sa™,,. Iiastei n Tims a t Other Points.

If this tariff were removed every cotton mill of the South would go to ruin, and the labor which has been collected by them into comfortable and prosperous vil­ lages would be scattered to the winds. As scon as our market is left open to the free competition of Great Brit­ ain and Germany the mills of Europe would fix the price of cotton, and our friends would lhcn see the cotton plant­ er not nearly, but entirely, in the bands of the Sheriff. How much cotton the Philippines can grow is not yet known, but it is certain that it can be grown in those islands, with native and Chi­ nese labor, as easily as it is now grown Sn Cliina. In the olden days we used Nankin, or nankeen, as It was called, in this country, for clothing, and with the tariff wall removed we may again find It cheaper to get cotton goods from Nankin and Manila. The New Zealander, casting his nets from the ruins of London Bridge, was looked npon as an amusing absurdity of -Mac- auley’s, but it is not beyond the bounds of credulity to imagine the slant-eyed Manilans selling sugar and cotton. Quito in the same vein the New Or­ leans Picayune, a stanch Democratic newspaper, resents the action of South­ ern Democrats in Congress in rcfusim to act with Louisiania’s representatives In defending Southern agricultural and industrial interests against the unfair competition of cheaper labor. This is the right sort of talk, and there is going to bo more of it It is an edifying spectacle to see Soutbera Democrats arguing with each other on tne tariff question. In such agita­ tion and diversity of opinion lies the South’s best hope of reaching a sound, common sense, level headed conclusion in favor of protection and prosperity. Gold For Export New York. Speeial.—It Is announced that the National City Bank has en­ gaged $1 ,000,000 gold for export on Thursday, Lazard Freres has engaged $1.500;Q00 for export on the Same date. Heldelback 1 Ickelbeimer and Co., will ship $1J150,000 on Thursday. This makes the total’export on -Thursday $3,789,000. a Ceasonfttile Redaction* Unreconciled to the' gloomy prospect fov wide open reciprocity, the Chicago Evening Post plaintively asks: “Are there no industries which are sufficient­ ly established to stand a reasonable reduction of duty':” It may be that there are such, hut if so, what of it A “reasonable” reduction would amount to nothing in the estimation of foreign competitors. It must be such a reduction as will render the duty non-proteetiye. IVliat they clamor for and what the Post seems to think they should have, is an unreasonable reduc­ tion of tariff duties; a foolish, destruc­ tive reduction; one that will enable them to break into this market and undersell domestic producers; such a reduction as would close our mills and factories, or else lower the Amer Ican standard of wages and of living and thus diminish the purchasing ca­ pacity and the consuming power of our wage earners. That is what the for­ eigners want. Is it what the Ohicago Evening Post wants? The young man with sound charac­ ter stands before the wealth of tho world on absolutely equal terms. HOBTHBOUin>. !v.

Commbto Much of U-o evidence ofinaulry is reviewed, especially tuat ____________ part relating to signals in the battle of i Ar- Oineinnad..__Santiago. The Navy Departments re- | Ar.LonlsvUte......... view of the appeal says in part: “In the appeal befose you the appli­ cant and his counsel have shifted their ground. The features of the case that gchiefly occupied the attention c- the I ” -------------- court during the forty days of its sit­ ting and to which the great mas3 of the testimony adduced relates, were: 'I. The retrograde movement. ‘2. Disobedience of orders. ''3. Inaccurate and misleading official “^Failure to destroy vessels of the enemy lying within sight; and 5 Injustice to a brother officer. Upon all the above named features, believed by us to be the most Import­ ant if not the only really important matters into which the court made in­ quiry, the conduct of Admiral SRhley was condemned by that most diSiin- guished tribunal. Admiral Dewey and Rear Admirals Benham and Ramsay united in their findings and opinion upon all of these several pom.s, and they united also In the significant rec­ommendation that no further Proceed­ ings be had ‘in view of the Ienghth of time which has elapsed since the occur- ence of the events of the Santiago cam- Dai0Ti.*“The applicant and his counsel, ig­ noring all these grave matters, now ap­ peal to you—before taking up an en­tirely new matter which was not in the case—for your ,,action upon certain minor and comparatively unimportant features which were in the case, mey specify dilatoriness in the squadron s movement to Clenfucgos and after­ wards to Santiago; failure while at Cienfuegos to take any adequate steps to ascertain the whereabouts of the Spanish fleet, and the effectiveness of the blockades maintained at Cienfuegos and Santiago. .“The members of the court 'Bffered their opinion respecting these poin,s. which are obviously of minor signifi­ cance as compared with the grave rca,- ters above set forth upon which the.re was not and, in the face of the testi­ mony. could not have been any differ­ence of .opinion in the court. ' “Certain erroneous statements. Ir in­ advertent, yet none the less milslead- ing, appear in the appeal.“Approval of Admiral liewey s ex- , pression of opinion npon the question of cammand involves two Points:“First, Was Commodore Schley m 'absolute’ command during the battle °f4 Uerond. and quite a different pro­ position, is he ‘entitled to the credit due’ for the victory?“The first point .is purely a technical once, where we have the case of a run­ ning fight, covering 'a distance of about forty miles, and the question is affect­ ed by the naval practice of reaching distant ships by. repeating signals. “Upon the second point, whether Commodore Schley is entitled to the credit for winning that battle, the tes­ timony from himself and his main wit­ ness is so conclusive as to giy® no doubt. In the course of the proceedings before the court of inquiry, every prop raised to support the contention that Commodore Schley did anything achieve the victory by issuins orders as commanding officer of the Ameri­ can fleet was removed. The plaip truth was for the first time revealed that Commodore Schley did not exercise command on that day over any ship except, to some extent, his own flag­ ship, the Brooklyn. ... ."The contention that the magnificent work of the Oregon or any part of it was under orders of the Brookljn, or that the Orc-on received and obeyed ev»n a signle order from Commodore Schley from the time the Suanish ships were sighted to the time of the surren­ der of the Colon, which surrender may fairly ho taken as the close of the bat­tle must he abandoned: and with it vois the last peg upon which to hang the pretense of a claim tbat during the battle of Santiago Commodore Schley effectively exercised any of the func­ tions of a commander in chief. “The weight of testimony is to the effect that the commodore controlled the movements of his flagship, the Brooklyn, well, with the exception of the loop. But it also shows, not nega­ tively, but affirmatively and beyond question, tbat he did not control the operations of the fleet In general on that day.• "All this is established, not by theo­retical deduction or expert or inexpert opinion, but by direct, positive, unim­ peached and unimeachable testimony, given under oath by the admiral's ‘brothers In arms.’ The pages of the ■ecoril upon which their testlmony.is re-orded are above cited.“The plain truth of the matter, there­fore, developed for the first time under the searchings of this inquiry, although quite incidentally, is that so far as the Gloucester, Iowa, Indiana, Texas and Oregon are concerned, not the stroke Cf a propeller blade, not the touch of a helm, not the firing of a shot, was done under the direction or by the orders or Admiral Schley during this battle.” Pwir 8Uu&DZanSaCp4I2l> ♦I v-nj Cla;,j~ I UtfjD: LI U*ai «;(&! ! • !•>-*! 2u.’TV . 4 05ft! 7 ItW..Tdjv! h i {,. ■ top!

Statistics Taken Fron Report of the Commissioner of Labor. The chapter of the forthcoming an­nual report of Eon. H. B. Varner, Com­ missioner of Labor and Printing, de­voted to the cotton and woolen milling interests of the State has been com­ pleted, and makes a highly gratifying showing for the development the Old North State is achieving. In orde> that the milling interests may be pre­ sented in their entirety both the gen­ eral summary and the statements by counties are presented here, as stated in this chapter of the report. Here are the summaries: COTTON AND WOOLEN MILLS. The cotton mill industry continues to- increase each year. The statistics in this chapter, as given in Tables Nos. I and 2, are for the year ending June 39. 1901, and therefore do not include mills commencing operations after that dace. Table No. 3, however, gives a complete list, including new and proposed mills to date. The 276 mills, from which Tables Nos. I and 2, are compiled, operate 1,680,483 spindles, 36,052 looms and 3,905 machines, using 75,132 horse­ power. i Average wages per day of—engineer, $1.52; firemen, 88c. Highest average wages per day—men, $2.19; women $1.C6. Lowest average wages per day— men, 35c; women, 28c. Average wages of children, 27c. Total number of employes, 44,544, of which 18,|171 are men, 18,377 women, and 7,996 children under fourteen years of age, 3,857 boys, and 4,139 girls.The number of hours worked per day vary from ten (in some of the knitting mills) to twelve and a half;- 81 per cent of adults and 62 per cent of the chil­dren read and write.There are nine new mills in course of construction or completed since June 30, 1901, making total number of mills 285.

Statesville, Special.—The eitisens of North Iredell are arousing themselves in behalf of a railroad for that sec­ tion. In an interesting letter which ap­ pears in today’s Landmark is set fo^Ih the inducements for such a road, ihe profits that would accrue from the line and what a factor it would prove in de­ veloping the natural resources of that section, which, it is a well known fact, is possibly capable of greater develop­ ment than any part of the conn tv. it is the best watered and timbered "part of the country. In the article referred to it is shown that on the several streams the different water powers can readily be developed several thousand horse power. Some of these powers arc already partially developed. It is the most inaccessible part of the county, because of the extremely bad condition of the public roads. They aro very much in earnest about a road and de­monstrate that, owing to the topogra­phy of the country along certain sug­ gested lines, a road can be built at much less than the usual cost of rail­road building. They naturally prefer that the road be built from Statesville via Bethany, Turnersburg or Olin and Williamsburg, and connect with the most accessible point on the road be­ tween Winston-Salem and Wilkesboro. If not this route, then they will cry to get it from Coolemee. The citizens pro­ pose to have mass meetings at as early a date as possible to formulate plans for accomplishing the end desired, and in this they ask the hearty co-opera­ tion of all who wish to sec this rich section developed. Furniture Plant at LexIngtoa Lexington, Speeial^The Elk Furni­ ture Company, of Lexington, has teen chartered by the Stale of North Caro­ lina. It is capitalized at $40,000, with the privilege of increasing to $100,000. The new company will manufacture furniture, veneering, etc. The plant will be located opposite the Dixie Fur­ niture factory, on the other side of iho Southern Railway track. The Elk SsrilI be fitted up wRVfhs most modern and improved machinery, will have its own electric plant and will be one of the most thoroughly up-to-date factories In the South. The stockholders of the company held their first meeting to­day and organized by electing Dr. E. J. Buchanan president; R. L. Burk- head, vice president, and D. F. Conrad, secretary and treasurer. The directors elected are: R. L. Bnrkhchdf D. F. Conrad, J. R. McCrary, H. B. Varner, G. F. Hankins, W. P. Lipp and J. H. Alexander. The site for the factory has been secured and the railroad switch surveyed near the Southern depot. A bnilding committee was elected and work on the buildings will begin as soon as the contract can be let. Truckers Ask Better Rates. Wilmington, Special.—The executive committee of the Eastern Carolina T rmJt and Truck Growers’ Association met here and had a conference with Traffic Manager T. M. Emerson, of the Coast Line. The result of it appears to have been entirely satisfactory, judg­ ing from interviews with several of the prominent members who are at the meeting. The committee is not asking for better rates,- those in effect being entirely satisfactory, but it .wants a better service and will no doubt receive it this season. The strawberry move­ ment will be about April 5th and iho crop is expected to reach 400,000 bas­ kets. There is said to be a very-mate­ rial increase in the berry acreage ihi3 season. The indication for remunera­ tive prices, so the truckers say, is es­ pecially good. The late RobeH Paterson, of Gaer- •laverock, Scotland, was the first man to ride a bicycle In Scotland. He evi­ dently thought more of hi3 bicycle and his pony than of anything else* for he requested that their sculptured figures be placed beside his grave as & msaiaaeat, This wish has been car- |ded out. Capital Punishment In Japan. To those who do not fully appreciate the revolution In Japanese manners and customs, it may welljseem strange that the sentence of the murderer of Hoshi Toru, the ex-minister, should be imprisonment for life with hard la­ bor. They might have expected "something with boiling oil In it/* Sir Ruthertord Alcock, the first British minister to Japan, writing some forty years ago, dwelt upon the severity of Lhe Japanese laws. “The code is prob­ ably the bloodiest in the world, for death is the penalty of most offenses. The Japanese seems torproceed on the principle that be who violates one law will violate any other, and that a will­ ful violator is unworthy of life.” Un­ der this regime it was considered a special privilege to be allowed to exe­ cute oneself and commit hari-kari, but this was reserved for people of rank. The common people had to be content with the executioner’s sword. Under the criminal code which came into force in 1882, and which is found­ ed on the code of Napoleon, death by hanging is provided as a penalty for certain offenses, but of recent year3 it has become rarer and may now be considered obsolete. Probably the Japanese, with thefr traditional con­ tempt for death regard penal servitude Cor life as a greater punishment. For­ merly no conviction was made except on confession by the prisoner, and there was an abundant us© of torture. That, of course, was officially abolish­ ed many years ago, but it was prac­ ticed occasionally at a much later date, and a case is known in which torture was undoubtedly applied by the police at one of the treaty ports In 1801.— Chicago New3. The English Wasp. The common wasp, as a rule, keeps its sting for self-defense. It will bite a fly in two with its jaws, If it gets in its way on a window pane, but it does not use its sting even when try* ing to rob a beehive, and "tackled” by Iheh bees. The latter will. push a wasp away five or six times, hustling it off the footboard, without provoking it to sting. But if a bee endeavors to sting the wasp it then grapples with it :and stings back, killing or be­ numbing the insect almost at once. British wasps ore fussy and excitable, tuc not vicious, like many of the In­ dian wild bees. However crowded or uncomfortable they may be, they very rarely quarrel with or sting each other, as, for instance, when a num­ ber are on the same window pane, fretting and anxious to get out Only when the entrance to their nest is threatened do they become actively aggressive, and then as a rule the at­ tack is not begun till the person who excites their fear interposes between them and the entrance to the nest. A setter dog was noticed to turn and bite itself, whimpering with pain, just as the party were sitting' down to a shooting luncheon by the side of a wood in Yorkshire. The dog being tired, had lain down on the hole of a wasps* nest, and five or six of the yellow insects were stinging it at once; but they did not touch the per­ sons sitting close by.—Tho Bpeftator. A mild-temperod person may be all the rage. “Is XVorth Its W fi.cht in (Sold.” “Had Eesoma for three years; tried three- doctors and every advertised remedy ,without effect, till Itried Tetterine.

When a laxative is needed the remedy which is * given to thent to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy, which physicians and parents* wcll-ihformcd, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjuy* because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is— Svrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which shuuld be used by fathers and mothers, Svrup of Fig 3 is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly u«d naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which rcs«:ls from the use of the old-time cathartics and modem imitations, and a t which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have tuem grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give tnem medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of tne laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but njso to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal­ ers sometimes offer to increase their profits.

The Drs. amputated his arm, and it’s possible that one leg will have to be amputated. ” It's an unfortunate affair, and John’s recovery is doubtful.

We have received requests from several parties who taught in the public school in 1900-1901, and who have not received their money, wanting to know if they could not get it. In answer we refer them to a clause of seetion 34 of the school law 1901 “And no part. of the school fund for one year shall be used to pay school claims fot any previous year.” Now this langniage leaves no doubt about the matter, and the only way teachers can legally get their mon ey is by special act of the legisla­ ture .at its.next session. The Coun­ ty Treasurer would clearly violate the law were he to pay any of these claims, and lay "himself lia­ ble, and we are alittlesnrprised to hear that orders have been issued to him to pay these claims in viola­ tion of this law’.

IIehad nearly- lied the negro, aud was making assault on every one hindering s escape, and it looks like the uoting was necessary. Be that it may, it is refreshing to know at a Democrat can be found in c Stale who can criticise one of owu household.

SOLICITOR MOTT. The County Commissioners may be compelled by law to famish the Solicitor with a list, but t.he Eeg ister of Deeds is not, and credit for the action, if any attaches to it. should be placed where it belongs, while censure should likewise be properly and honestly located.— Winston Journal. The above capped from the Jonr- al of the IIth is used to show that its editor is not informed on the law of 1901 or he misquotes its provision with reference to this Iawr. It the editor will read sec tion 70 of chapter 7 laws of 1901 passed by a Democratie legislature he will find the following language: “And it, shall be the dnfy of the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners to present to the Grand Jnry the names of all such persons.” Now there is no “may' be" in the law—it “shall” be the duty, of the Chairman. Mr. Mdtt is no pet of ours, and we are not going to put in a defence for him, but it’s a little strange that the Journal should criticise the Solieitor for forcing the Chairman of the Board to do what its law, passed by its party says he shall do, He should have performed this duty without solicitation and the Solicitor is only doing his sworn duty.'The trouble is, Mott is a Republican, Ki<k ti e other way Mr. Journal. This is not all Mr. Journal; this same law makes it a misdemeanor for a person to wil­ fully fail to list his property for taxation, and inforces a fine of not more that $50,00 and not more than 30 days imprisonment. These are penalties put in the law, and the requiraents strike us as mon- datory on the Chairman and not optioual. or at pleasure.

This ease was tried before a Democratic Judge, and one whom we believe yon and others want placed on the Supreme Court bench, and from all accounts a more par­ tisan outrage was never committ­ ed than was practiced at this trial. Read up Mr. Post, before you en­ dorse every thing said by these little penny-a liners. WHY?

ONE VATCflMAN FATALLY flURT. A n o t h e r C l a s h Over the node Land AlongtbeAHstocraticLake Shore Drive. Chicago, Special--During a fight with Winchester rifles between the fol­ lowers of rival claims to property along the Lake Shore drive, the most aristocratic boulevard in Chicago, Frank Kirk, a watchman for one of the claimants, was shot through the head, sustaining a- mortal wound. The property in dispute consists of made land lying-east of the Lake Shore drive and between it and Lake Michi­ gan. Captain George W. Streeter, who has for many years been a thorn in the side of North Side property owners, because of his propensity to settle on vacant ground and then claim in - the courts the rights of a squatter, has irected* several small shanties upon- this ground. He claims that the offi­ cials of the city of Chicago or the State Df Illinois have no right upon I t To­ night Henry Cooper, a lawyer who has been active in his opposition to Street­ er, accompanied by Policeman O’Mal­ ley, went upon the ground and was at­ tacked by Streeter, who knocked him flown with the butt of a revolver. Sev­ eral of Streeter’s followers covered O'Malley with their weapons and he was ordered to leave or be shot. Shortly after Cooper and O’Malley had left the ground a pitched battle broke out between three of Streeter’s followers, William McManners, Wil­ liam Block and John Hoeldtke, and two watchmen employed by -Cooper, Frank Kirk and Sampel Portorous. One of the first shots fired struck Klrk In the top of the head. Portorous returned the fire of the Streeter men with a Winchester. A riot call was hastily sent to the Chicago avenue police sta­ tion and a wagon filled with officers under the command of Captain Revere was sent' on the run toward the place. When the officers arrived Kirk’s body lay in the snow outside the shanty, while from the window Portorous kept a steady fire upon the three men in the other house who were returning his fire with all the speed with which they could work their rifles. The firing ceased as the police appeared and a cordon of officers was at once thrown around the shanty In which McMan­ ners, Block and Hoeldtke were. Three men and Mrs. McManners were placed under arrest and taken to the police station. Returning to the building in a short time the officers found that- Streeter, .had barricaded the house once more. He was summoned to surrender and af­ ter some parley gave himself up. When he came out of the house he carried a rifle and four revolvers. AU persons liv­ ing on the "District of Lake Michigan” were placed under arrest pending the death or recovery of Frank Kirk. At the hospital to which he was taken he died without regaining consciousness. 130 rten Drowned. Victoria, B.

At 4.3» p. m. 11 Fortieth6 Day—There was but littm interest in the House proceedings. Thebusiness under consideration was of a purely routine nature. The House au journed to Monday. , , .+. fnForty-first Day—General debate m the House on the oleomargannetw have decided to offer an amendment to make the 10-eent tax on oleomargar:Ine in imitation of butter of any shade of yellow." The amendment is designed to meet the charge of the opponents to the bill that without this amendment the language of the bill Jnisht bc •:on- strued to absolutely prohibit the sa.e of oleomargarine. .The speakers * wece: . Haugen ana Thomas, of Iowa; Shallenberger, of Nebraska; Dalfl,' of Wisconsin; Gaines, of Tennessee, and Lamb, of Virginia, for the bill, and Messrs. Feeley, of Il­ linois; Slayden, of Texas; Monaell, of Wyoming; Berkley, of Georgia, and Wooten, of Texas, in opposition.The House adopted the conference report on the urgent deficiency bill and it was again sent to conference.Forty-third Day—The House passed the oleomargarine bill, which has been under consideration in that body dur­ing the last ten days. There was no division on the final passage, the real test of strength having been made up­ on the motion to re-commit, which was defeated by a majority of 34, the vote standing 162 to 118. The provision to require the inspection and branding of renovated butter which was adopted in committee of the whole yesterday was retained today on an aye and nay vote. As finally passed the hill is somewhat modified from the form in which it was reported from the committee on agri­culture. It makes oleomargarine or imitation butter or cheese !transported into any State or Territory for use, sale or consumption therein, subject to the laws of such States or Territories, notwithstanding that it may be intro­ duced in original packages. Penalties for violation of the act are a fine or not less than $50 nor more than $500 and imprisonment for not less than 30 days nor more than 6 months.War claims occupied the attention of the House after the passage of the oleomargarine bill and the day was made notable by the passage of the first bill for the payments of claims of United States citizens arising out of the Spanish war. It carried something over $55,000 for the payment of 202 claims for property taken within the United States for the use of the army An omnibus bill carrying claims aggre­gating $2,114,552 ' for stores and sup­plies taken from loyal citizens during the civil war was also passed. These claims were allowed under the provis­ions of the Bowman act and the bill was identical with one passed by the House at the last session. Two other bills which have been before Congress for 28 years to refer certain claims for additional compensation by the build' erg of certain monitors during the civil war to the Court of Claims were like' wise passed.. Forty-fourth Day-The War Depart­ment’s bill for the’ reorganization of the army staff branches and the crea tion of a general staff corps was trans­ mitted to Choiiman Hull, of the House military committee, and by him intro­duced into a division of supplies under an officer ranking as major general, with brigadier generals in charge of the branches of supplies, commissary finance and transportation. The “gen­eral staff corps” is to consider the “military policy of the country and prepare comprehensive plans for the national defense and for the mobiliza­tion of the military forces in time of war.” It also haschargeo f all questions af­fecting the army and the co-operation of the army and navy, equipment, etc. A lieutenant general is at the head of this board, with one major general, one brigadier general, four, colonels and numerous officers of lower rank.There is a proviso that General Miles shall be chief of the general staff while he continues in active service.

C., adopted a resolu­ tion recommending reciprocity through tariff modifications where it can be done without injury to any of our home interests of manufacturing, commerce or farming, thereby rendering any ap­ plication of reciprocal tariff concessions impracticable; and “Whereas, The Kational Eeciproeity Convention, ia a second resolution, rec­ ommended the establishment of a new commission,'to which shall be referred the consideration of all reciprocal trade agreements, thereby nullifying and dis­ regarding the valuable and beneficial work successfully accomplished by the present Commissioner Plenipotentiary, in the negotiation of important treaties, whereby a great part of the trade o( these countries would be thrown open to 11s; therefore, be it “Ecsolved, That this chamber, here­ by expresses its disapproval of the ac­ tion taken by the Kational Reciprocity Convention in Washington on Novem­ ber 20 as subversive of all attempts to bring about closer trade relations with our sister, nations and to open new and wider maiAts for our products; and be it further “Kesolved, That the chamber views with apprehension the policy advo­ cated by the Eec procity Convention as likely to invite hostile legislation oc the part of other nations against this country, to the great detriment of its commercial interests.” On a former occasion the chamber had refused to adopt these resolutions and had referred them back to the Committee on Foreign Commerce. The fact that the Chairman of that Com­ mittee is the American representative of a German steamship line would ■eem to obviate the necessity of ex­ plaining why the . same resolutions were again reported at the meeting of January 3, and the fact that the reso­ lutions were adopted on their second hearing indicates that the efforts put forth in the meantime to secure an extra large attendance of importers and foreign steamship agents were not altogether unsuccessful. Before taking final action on the resolutions given above tile chamber voted down the following: “Kesolved, That this body recom­ mend reciprocity in our trade with for­ eign countries where it can be done without injuring any of our own prod­ ucts or manufactures.” Thus the Kew York Chamber of Commerce defines its attitude as exact­ ly in line with' that of I Iio free traders. It views with apprehension and disap­ proval the sentiment of 300 thorough­ ly representative manufacturers who ia AVashington sis weeks before had. with but .two dissenting votes, and one of these a delegate from the Amer­ ican Free Trade League, declared in favor of such reciprocal trade relations with foreign countries as may be had “without injury to domestic manufac­ turing, commerce or fanning.” . The thoroughly domestic flavor of this prop­ osition is repugnant'to the New York Chamber of Commerce. A pronounced foreign flavor characterized the pro­ ceedings on January 3. -Just prior to the adoption of the very foreign resolu- tious two distinguished foreigners, M. Lazare Veiller1 representing the French Government, and Herr Ludwig Max Goldberger, representing Germany’s commercial interests, present as hon­ ored guests; made brief addresses ap­ pealing for more intimate trade re­ lations whereby the manufactured products of their respective countries might find-freer entrance into the great American home market—to the dis­ placement, of course, of an equivalent quantity of the products of our domes­ tic establishments. Under this sort of inspiration the importers and for­ eign steamship agents carried the day ,with a hurrah. If the New York Cham- beF oT Commerce had lieon located in Paris or Hamburg, it could not have shown wore zeal in behalf of foreign producers or less zeal- in behalf of the producers of the United States. The body seems, to have been carried OS its feet by an excess of foreign enthu­ siasm, very-muc-h as it was something oxer fo_u? this .^ame Chamber of Commerce, in r.n address to Queen Victoria, went out of its way to lug in a fulsome allusion to her “il­ lustrious grandfather,” Gsorge III! Wouldn't that jal‘ Georgs Washing­ ton? NeW York may or may not pride herself upon the possession of so thor­ oughly foreign an organisation as her Chamber of Commerce has shown‘IP self to be. Certain it is that the coun- Iry as a Whole does not share the cham­ ber’s solicitude for the interest of for­ eign manufacturers. It Refers the status quo! It finds that under the Dingley tariff onr exports have in five years increased ?!43,42S,254, or forty- four per cent., and our imports are larger by $191,010,024, or twenty-eight per cent. A country which bought during 1901 from foreign countries a total of SS73,IOO,4SO worth of mer­ chandise, while selling to foreign coun­ tries $1,440,265,493 worth of domestic products, is not going fo lie awake Jights Worrying about its foreign trade. It has much bigger things to think of. For example, its domestic trade, whose magnitude may be measured by the fact that in the past five years—1898, free trade tariff, to 1001, protective tariff—the bank clearings of the Unit­ ed States increased from ?31,17o,251,-, 773 in 1S96 to 5118,623,834,548, a dif­ ference of over sixty-seven billion dol­ lars, aud an increase of 1S2 per cent. The great body of our countrymen are justified In concerning themselves chiefly about the enormous internal trade and the phenomenal industrial and commercial activity expressed in these bewildering figures of over 118 billion dollars of bank clearings for the year 1801. They can afford to let the New York Chamber of Commerce forcignize itself to its heart’s content and Cobdenize itself without reserve, as it has done in the action of Janu­ ary 3. They will disregard its doc­ trines and deliverances just as they would those of any other foreign body inimical to this country’s prosperity. Too Basy For Tariif Tinkering. It is safe to say that the Ohio Demo­ crats will not feel any great amount of confidence in tbo value of the sug­ gestion made by .some of their free, trade friends in other States that tariff revision be made the Democratic battle cry in the next Presidential campaign. Their experience has not been such Hs to incline them to look upon it as a winner. In the platform on which they fought their recent State cam­ paign, they declared unqualifiedly for tariff revision, and they went down to crushing defeat. According to Repre­ sentative Grosvenor, of Ohio, the Re* publican victory was greater than was expected, and, in making this state­ ment, Mi*. Grosvenor called attention to the fact that tariff revision had been made a prominent issue. There is a lot of talk about tariff revision being made just now, but it is coming from the same old free trade source. The solid business men of the country have too much to do In filling the orders which prosperous customers from all over the country are sending in to them and in meeting the demands gen­ erally which r-:3sv y law prosperity puts upon them to do much talking. It is to be noted, however, that when th«y do say anything on tho subject, the burden of their remarks invariably is, “Let well enough alone.” The Wlffcccnfe, '.Reciprocity which benefits ,another nation to the injury of our own is not the object of the men who arc the friends of American industry. Reci­ procity "which will extend our trade should be welcomed. The difference between the two is the difference be­ tween free trade and protection—Dem­ ocracy and Republicanism.—Youngs­ town (Ohio) Telegram. Klnss IS' XMle The little islands of the Seychelles, to tri.r east of Africa, are becoming over- populated with dusky monarchal There are quartered there at present four ex­ kings and two queen mothers. The kings include Prenipeh, of Ashanti, Mwanga of Uganda and Kabarega of Unyoro1 the last-named being an old fighting man with a notable record. East and West African monarchs meet at the Seychelles and the diplomatists interested in African affairs are curious to see how they agree. Mwanga and Kabarega are recent importations, but it is now more than a year since Prem- peh, late king of Ashanti, arrived in Seychelles, and it is said that readers of Maj.-Gen.

Habermel., Bradford, Indiana says: I have used almost every class of pills known to me, but never found any relief for habitual constipation and liver trouble.I bought four boxes of Ra­mon’s Liver Pills and Tonic Pellets of an agent of the Brown M’f g Co., at Greenville, Tenn. I used two boxes of the Pink Pills and followed with the Pellets every night for thirty days, and today I am as healthy as I was twenty years ago. I will recom­mend Ramon’s Liver Pills and Tonic Pellets to all who suffer with such complaints. The Pills and.Pellets are a sure cure; they make one feel like a new person.

Mocksville is suffering from a relapse of her postoffice editor. —Winston Journal. ' The Journal is very considerate of Mocksvule’s interests, if it would only spend a portion of its time, and talents (if it has any) in correcting the crimes and wrongs committed by its own citizens against other of its citizens it would have au abundance of work to do, which would be criditable to itself, and would redound to the lasting good of its town. Having officers in its town who will hold an old aud respectable white citi­ zen while its thugs beat him up on the day of election reflects both credit and honor upou election thieves. Davie and Mocksvillei so far, has never disgraced itself Democrats or Iiepublicaus iu this, town have never used the base • ment of the Methodist church for storing Winchesters, to shoot its citizens with on the day of the election. The thhgs of the town or county have never drawn pis­ tols on the Sheriff ot the CJounty at the polls, and ordered him to leave uuder threats of tilling him with lead if he did not leave and stay away. The people over here are not cursiug a Democratic Sol icior for enforcing a Democratic law. We propose to criticise those res­ ponsible for a bad law if it be bad, rather than abuse the officer for performing his sworn duties. We believe in honest elections over here, and will not uphold thievery in either party. Do a little uiissionery work at home before you proffer your sym­ pathy to those who neither want or need it.

TheGarden remarks have been pre pared by the most experienced agri­ cultural experts ia the State and are up to date, The weather predictions are based not upon mere guess-work but upon the Signal Reports from the station at Wilmington. The Alma­ nac also contains a Court Calender for every circuit in the State, the names of the Judges and the time of holding court. Altogether it contains so much of interest to the residents of this State that we advise everyone to look it over carefullv. ’ ' They also publish an Afro-Ameri­ can Almanae for the negroes.

' AstonishiDg Turn In the Now Famous Rice Murder Trial. TELLS PARTICULARS OF MURDER. 1 nwyer Patrick Dosed the Aged nil llonalre, and Finally Chloroformed Him to Death. New York, Special.—A very drama­tic point in the trial of Lawyec Albert T. Patrick for the murder of the Texas millionaire, William Marsh Rice, was reached Thursday afternoon. Chas. F. Jones, the valet, had been relating the circumstances leading up to the some­ what sudden death of Mr. Rice, in September. Then 'pulunging at once Into the details, he held the attention of his audience to the end of his re­cital. Freed of minor points his story runs:“In August Patiick grew impatient. Mr. Rice, though an invalid, was liv­ing too long to suit the lawyer’s pur­poses, Patrick said he would come to the house and kill him himself if neces­sary. He suggested chloroform and Jones said he would get some. The Idea of chloroform as a means was sugges­ ted by a magazine article. It was de termined on after-Jones talked with a physician who said a person wncse heart was affected, as was~Mr. Rice’s, could be most easily killed with it. and that little trace of the drug would be left, Jones got a two-ounce vial of it by writing to his brother in Texas.Jones then branches off into the al- legated plan adopted to weaken the al­leged plan adopted to weaken the al- him mercury and iron pills. The pills brought 4 on debilitating diarrhoea. Then, unwittingly, a friend brought Mr. Rice a present of bananas. Of .these the old man ate nine. The fruit made him exceedinglwy ill, and yet the weakening doses of mercury were kept up. By Saturday, about the eighth day of the last illne33, Mr. Riee be­came delirous. This testimony brought the events up to Sunday, the day of death, and the witness said that dur­ing these days of illness he kept Pat­rick informed of the details penonaUly and by telephone. William Marsh Rice’s quick death, declared the witness, was decided on at a conference between Patrick and Jones held Saturday night. Jones had told the lawyer of the arrival of a draft for $25,000. Patrick told him it was time to apply the chloroform, now that the draft had com© and that Cap­tain Baker was coming, or they would lose all. Jones agreed. Jones here told his story of the ac­tual killing. He made a cone of a tow­ el in the small end of which was a chloroform-soaked sponge. Creeping into the room where Mr. Rice lay sleeping, he quickly covered the sleep- er’B face with the large end of the conc Jones rushed out of the room. In half an hour he came back. He removed the cone. Mr. Rice was dead. Jones swore he telephoned to. Pabrick the words: "Mr. Rice is very ill,” the agreed signal between the two of death. Jones’ story of the end was con­ cluded by the statement that Patrick . Cftme to the house and removed all of Mr. Rice’s papers. “Some time In August," Jones said in the course of his narrative, “Patrick asked me if I did not think Mr. Rice was living too long for our welfare. He thought it would be a good thing if we would put him out of the way. He said If I d tell him some night when Me*. Hlce was sleeping soundly, he’d come Up and do it, if I would not.” "What was said of chloroform?” asked Attorney Osborne. Patrick said that would- he an easy way to put Mr. Rice away. An article In a magazine gave him the idea. Something was said about getting chloroform, and Patrick said it was very hard to get; that one had to have all sorts of certificates before -the drug­ gist would sell it. I told Patrick he could leave that to me. I sent my brother $5 and he sent me chloroform In a fonr-ounee bottle. Patrick said he had. often wondered about what would be the effect of chloroform on a person afflicted with heart trouble I put the question to Dr. Curry, and he said no little chloroform would be ueeded to kill a person who had heart disease; that it was doubtful if any *IaCjB tht ®oison would remain af- r , .V5ld Patrick what Dr. Lurry bod said.

It will be unlike any convention ever held In previous years. Not more than' one- ialf a dozen topics will he discussed, as the convention will confine itself to the discussion of several vital, live sub­ jects, which have to deal with the re­ ligious life of men. It will, in every respect be a Twentieth Century con­ vention. Practically every important college and many preparatory schools for boys will send delegations of their choicest men. City and town associa­ tions will be represented by some of their leading men. Railroad men from several terminal points are also coming to participate in the convention pro­ gramme. This year the convention will open on Saturday evening, closing on Tues­ day night. Sunday will be a red letter day in Charlotte.

The New Jersey and North Carolina Land and Lumber Company have brought action for the possession of nearly 300,000 acres of land in Colum­ bus and Brunswick counties. It com prises what is Itnown as the Great Greens Swamp and a good deal of ad­ joining territory—and a battle royal will be waged by the present occupants to retai? possession of it and lively times are predicted unless the injunc­ tion is soon set aside. This land is heavily timbered with cypress, juniper and pine timber and is dotted with fer­ tile islands which have been occupied and tilled for many years and is settled by probably five hundred families whc live by farming, hunting, trapping and selling timber. Some of these lands have been occupied for a hundred and fifty years or more, grants having been obtained by the original settlers and they have passed from one generation to auother, who have lived upon it. paying the taxes and enjoying life as only hardy, thrifty hard working yeo­ manry can. living off the fruits of their labor and at peace with the world. It is no wonder that they were startled, surprised and almost bewildered, when a United States deputy marshall ap­ peared, serving an injunction upon them stopping all work and requiring them to meet at the office of the clerk of th© United States District Court in Wilmington on February 4th to show cause why the injunction should not be continued, thus depriving many with large families, of almost any visible means of support.—Vineland cor.

It says: s “I have received the appeal of Act- miral SChley and the answer tueieto from the Navy Department. I have ex amined both with we utmost care, as well as the preceding appeal to th e Secretary of the Navy. I bave read through all the testimony taken beiore the court and the statements of the counsel for Admirals Sampson and Schley; have examined all the official reports of every kind in reference to the Santiago naval campaign ,copies of the logbooks and signal books, ana the testimony before the Court of Claims, and have also personally before me the four surviving captain of the two admirals, which were ac­tively engaged at Santiago.“It appears that the court of In­ quiry was unanimous in its findings of fact and unanimous in its expressions of opinion on most of its findings of fact. No appeal is made to me from the verdict o fthe court on these points where it was unanimous. I have, how­ ever, gone carefully over the evidence on these points*also. I am satisfied that on the whole the court did sub­stantial justice. It should have specifi­ cally condemned the failure to enforce an efficient night blockade at Santiago while Admiral Schley was in com­ mand. On'the other hand, I feel that there is a reasonable doubt whether he did not move his squadron with sufficient expedition from port to port The court is a unit in condemning Ad­ miral Schley’s action on the point where it seems to me he most gravely erred; his ‘retrograde movement' when he abandoned the blockade, and his disobedience of orders and mis­ statement of' facts in relation thereto. It should be remembered, however, that the majority of these actions which the court censures occurred five weeks or more before the fight itself; and it certainly seems that if Admiral Schley’s actions were cen­ surable he should not have been left as second in command under Admiral Sampson. His offenses were in effect condoned when he was not called to account for them. Admiral Sampson, after the fight, in an official letter to the Department, alluded for the first rime to Admiral Schley7S represensible conduct six weeks previously. If Ad­ miral Schley was guilty of reprehensi­ble conduct of a kind which called for such notice from Admiral Sampson, then Admiral Sampson ought not to have left him as senior officer of the blockading squadron on the 3rd oi July, when he, (Sampson) steamed iway on his proper errand of com­ munication with General Shafter.“We can, therefore, for our present purposes dismiss consideration of so much of the appeal as relates to any­thing except the battle. As regards this, the point raised in the appeal is between Admiral Sampson and Ad­miral Schley, as to which was in com­ mand, and as to which was entitled to the credit, if either of them was really entitled to any unusual and pre­eminent credit by any special exhibi­ tion of genius, skill, and courage. The court could have considered both of these questions, but as a matter of fact it unanimously excluded evidence offered upon them, and through its president announced its refusal to hear Admiral Sampson’s side at all; and in view of such exclusion the ma­jority of the court acted with entire propriety in not expressing any opin­ ion on these points. The matter has, however, been raised by the president of the court. Morc*tver, it is the point upon which Admiral Schley in his ap­ peal lays most stress, and which he especially asks me to consider. I have therefore carefully investigated this matter also, and have informed myself upon it from the best sourcea of Information at my command.•••me appeal or Aamirai acniey to me Is not, as to this, the chief point he raises, really an appeal from the decision of the court of inquiry. Five sixths of the appeal is devoted to this question of command and credit; that is, to matter which the court of in­ quiry did not consider. It is in effect an appeal from the action of President McKinley three years ago, when he sent in the recommendations for pro­ motion with the Santiago squadron, basing these recommendations upon Mb estimate ox ine credit to Wnicu the officers wen© respectively entitled. What .I have to decide, therefore, is whether or nqfc President McKiuley did-injustice in the matter. This neces­sarily involves a comparison of the ac­ tions of the different commanders en­ gaged. The exhaustive official reports of the action leave little to be brought out anew; but as the question of Ad­ miral Sampson’s right to bp considered in chief command, which was deter­mined in his favor by President Mc­Kinley, and later by the Court of Claims, has never hitherto been offi­ cially raised, I deemed it best to se­ cure statements of the commanders of the five ships (other than the Brook­ lyn and New York, the flagships of the two admirals) which were actively engaged in the fight.” The President then quotes from a magazine azxrcie Wricten uy me iate Admiral PhiKp and the statements by Capt Clark and Admirals Evans and Taylor and Commander Wainwrighl and reviews the damage to the Spanish ships by the guns of,the American fleet and continues: - “From the statements of the cap tains above, from the official reports^ and from the testimony before tirt court of inquiry, the fight can be plotted with absolute certainty In Ita important outlines, though there ia conflict as to minor points. When the four Spanish cruisers came out of the harbor the New York had left her posi­tion m the blockading line 40 or 45 minutes before. She had hoisted the signal Disregard the movements oi tiie commander-in-chief,” but had no1 hoisted the signal to the second in commandy'to take charge, which as appears by the signal book, was some times but not always used when the command was transferred. As soon at tiie engagement began the New York turned and steamed back h^ist***? a signal to close in, which however none of the squadron saw. She was In plain sight, and not very much farther from the easternmost blocked BreoklJn a1®latter were fr°m therM kl s ' whJch was the westernmosl oLthe line.

The Spanish vesseiS had straightened out in column for too west the Colon going inside of the others and gradually forging ahead of them without suffering mucn damage. The two torpedo boats, which had fol­lowed them out of the harbor, were now destroyed by the fire of the near- most of the American big vessels and of the Gloucester, which headed straight in for them, paying no more heed to their quick-flre guns than to the heavy' artillery of the forts, to which she was also exposed. •"In the running fight which followed until the Teresa, Oquendo and Vis- caya were destroyed, the Jndiann gradually dropped behind, although she continued to fire until the last of the three vessels went ashore. The Brooklyn was ahead of any of the other American vessels on a course outside theirs; she was nearly broad­ side on to the Spaniards. The Oregon, Iowa and Texas were" all close together and actively engaged throughout this running fight. The Brooklyn and Ore­ gon. followed.at some distance by the Texas, then continued in the chase of the Colon, which went nearly thirty miles farther before she also went ashore. During this chase of the Colon there was practically no fighting. “These are the facts as set forth above in the statements of the cap­ tains, and elsewhere in their official reports and testimony. They leave no room for doubt on any important point.“The question of command is In this caso nominal and technical. Ad­ miral Sampson’s ship, the New York, was seen at the outset of the fight from all the other ships except the Brooklyn. Four of these five ship cap- tans have testified that they regarded him as present and in command. He Bignaled ’Close in’ to the fleet as soon as the first Spanish ship appeared, but his signal was not seen by any American vessel. He was actually un­ der fire from the forts, and himself fired a couple of s>ots, at the close of the action with the torpedo boats, In addition to signaling the Indiana just at the close of the action. But during" the action not a single order from him was received by any of the ships that were actively engaged. “Admiral Schley at the outset of the action hoisted the two signals of ‘Clear ship’ and ‘Close in,’ which was simply carrying out the standing or­ ders of Admiral Sampson as to what should be done if the enemy’s ships attempted to break out of the harbor. Until after the close of the first por­ tion of the fight at Die mouth of the harbor, and until after he had made his loop and the Spanish ships were fleeing to the westward, not another American ship noticed a signal from him. When the western pursuit had be­gun the Oregon, and the OregGn only, noticed and repeated one of his signals of command. Tile captain of the Ore­ gon then regarded him as in com­mand ,but did not in any shape or way execute any movement or any action of any kind whatsoever in accordance with any order from him. “In short, the question as to which of the two men. Admiral Sampson or Admiral Schley, was at ‘the time in command, is of merely nominal char­ acter. Technically Sampson com­manded the fleet, and Schley, as usual, the western division. The actual fact, the important fact, is that after the battle was joined not a helm was shifted, not a gun was fired, not a pound of steam was put on in the en­ gine room abroad any ship actively engaged, in obedience to the'order of either SamDson or Schley, save on their own two vessels. It was a cap­ tain's fight. “Therefore the credit to which each of the two is entitled rests on matters apart from the claim of norminal command over the squadron; for so far as the actual fight was concerned neither one nor the other In fact ex­ ercised any command. Sampson was hardly more than technically In the fight. His real claim for credit upon his work as commander-in-chief; upon the excellence of the blockade; upon the preparedness of the squadron; upon the arrangement of the ships head-on in a semi-cirlce around the harbor; and the standing orders in aocordanoe with which they instantly moved to the attack of the Spaniards when the latter appeared. For all these things the credit is his. “Admiral Schley is rightly entitled— as is Captain Cook—to the credit of what the Brooklyn did In the fight On the whole she did well; but I agiiee with the unanimous finding of the three admirals who composed the court of inquiry as to the loop.’ It seriously marred the Brooklyn’s other­wise excellent record, being in fact the one grave mistake made by any American ship that day. Had the Brooklyn turned to the westward, that Is. in the same direction that the jSpantsn snips were going, insteau oi In the contrary direction, she would undoubtedly have been in more ‘dan­ gerous proximity’ to,them. But it jvoultt nave been more’ dangerous for them as well as for her!

A GREAT MOUNTAIN PLAYGROUND Many Attractions of mountain Scen­ ery and Waterfall Add to Beauty of the Reservation. In the Series ot Water Supply and Irrigation Papers, the United States Geological Survey, Mr. F. H. Newell, Hydrograplier in Charge, has now in press Nos. 62 and 63, being parts I and II ot the “Hydrography of the South­ ern Appalachian Mountain Region," hy Mr. H. A. Pressey. This great moun­ tain system staretches from Maine southwesterly for nearly 1300 mile3, terminating in northern Alabama. From the Potomac south the ranges- are higher and broader than in Penn­ sylvania. They spread out into the Blue Ridge, the Shenandoah, the Alle­ ghany, and the Greenhriar mountains, extending, with broad and fertile val­ leys between, In nearly parallel lines tfcffough Virginia and West Virginia in­ to North Carolina and Tennessee, and culminating in the Iron and the Great Smoky ranges, the great mountain re­ gion of the southeastern States. In this mounta5 mass 63 peaks equal or exceed a height of 6,000 feet; 25 peaks are higher than Mount Washington; and 2S8 peaks are over 5,000 feet. From North Carolina and Tennessee the ranges, leaving spurs in South Caro­ lina, turn more westward through Georgia and Alabama, ana sink into the hills of the Gulf Watershed. This great mountain svstem forms the back­ bone and watershed of the eastern part of the United States. The greatest masses and the highest peaks are In western North Carolina and eastern Tennesse, which region may be consid­ ered a high plateau, bounded west by the Smoky Mountains and east by the Blue Ridge. These ranges, almost touching on the north, part company, and then almost come together again in the south, thus enclosing this pla­ teau which has a maximum width ol 55 miles and an area of about 6,000 ; square miles. The region is well watered. The main divide of - e river system is the Blue Ridge.

Stole Superintendent of Public In*! struction Passes Away. I Raleigh, Special.—The people here were shocked at,the news of the death of Gen. Thomas F. Toon, State Super* intendent of Public Instruction, which occurred Wednesday morning after 10 o'clock, at his home here.. He was thought to be entirely well, and though he had not been in his office since he left November 20th to go to nprtheastern North Carolina, he had for several days been consulted about business and was in fine spirits Tues-: day and Wednesday. He felt well at breakfast, but afterwards complained of acute indigestion. A physician was sent for and quickly responded. In a few minutes Gen. Toon said he felt all right. He said he would lie down a little while. Th© moment he did so his face became purple and death came like a flash. The news came like a thunderclap to the State officials, who hastened to his home. The Council of State met and adopted the following resolutions: .“Resolved, That in the death of Gen. Thomas Fentress Toon, late Superin­ tendent of Public Instruction, we, his associates in the Executive Department of the State government, have lost a wise and faithful counsellor and friend and the State one of her most careful and efficient officers. Brave in war and loyal in peace, his heroic spirit is at rest and North Carolina mourns the loss of a noble son. “Resolved, That we tender the rela­ tives of the deceased oua* deepest sym­ pathy in their great affliction. “Resolved, That a copy of these reso­lutions be sent to the family and aiso be spread upon the minutes of IhQ Council of State.”The flags, State and national, on the capitol were placed at half-staff and the building was closed. At 2 o’clock just before the Supreme Court ended its business for the day, Attorney Gen­ eral Gilmer made official announce­ment of the death and the court ad­ journed as a mark of respect.Gen. Toon was born • in Columbus county, June 10,1840. He graduated at Wake Forest College in 1861 with very high honors. He enlisted as a private in Company K, Twentieth Regiment, North Carolina Troops, and was a col­onel before he was 23 years old. He was in 1863 appointed under a special act of Congress a temporary brigadier general, and commanded Johnson’s Brigade for many mouths, while John­son was recovering from wounds. He was then re-commissioned as colonel and c-Rsumed the command of his old regiment. He was wounded five times. He gave your correspondent two bul­lets extracted from him. After the war he was in the service of the At­ lantic Coast Line 16 years, then took charge of Fair Bluif Academy. In 1867 he married Miss Carrie Smith, who is buried at Fair Bluff. Five children, survive him, these being Mgs. Olivia Rowland, of Brodie, Warren county* Mrs. Mary Fuller, and Miss Robbie Toon, of Lumberton; T. F. Toon, of Atlanta, Ga., and H. B. Toon, of Lynch­ burg, S. C. Both of the latter are in the' railroad service. He leave two broth­ ers, Archie Toon and Abraham Toon, of Whiteville, and a half-brother. Don­ ald McCracken, of Whiteville. He rep­ resented Columbus county in the lower House of the Legislature and Robeson and Columbus in the Senate. In 1891 he married Mrs. R. C. Ward, who survives him. He made Lumberton his home and devoted himself to teaching and farm­ ing. With his nomination for the office of State Superintendent and his career therein all are familiar. He was a likable man, in all respects, and de­ voted to his work aad to the best in­ terests of North Carolina. It is not yet known where he will be buried. It is the desire that he shall be buried here. Three months ago General Toon left here to go with Governor Aycock on ?„n educational trip to the northeastern countries.~He told his assistant, Capt. Duckett, that he dreaded the trip and wished he could get out of going. He was restless and seemed to fear trouble. He said afterwards he took cold at Wilmington, while sitting in a draft after speakings At a meeting held in the executive office the following resolution was unanimously adoptoa: “Kesoivea. That the Governor and his Council respect­fully request that the remains of Gen­eral Toon be laid in state in the rotun­ da of the capitol pending the arrange­ ments for funarel obsequies.” X fur­ ther resolution was adopted requesting the Governor to communicate the ac­tion of the Council through Capt. John Duckett to relatives. The body will not lie in state, as Mrs. Toon desires that it remain at the house until the gen­ eral's children arrive. Liberals Condemn Surrender. London, By Cable.—At the annual meeting of the general committee of tho National liberal Federation held at Leicester, after considerable^ debate, a resolution was passed condemning the policy of insisting on the uncondi­ tional surrender of the Boers In South Africa, affirming the future content­ ment and security of South Africa could only be secured by regular peace, on broad, generous lines; welcoming the impetus Lord Rosebery has given to this policy and calling on all Liberal members of the House of Commons to support the Liberal leader, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, in his advocacy of this policy. Publishers Negotiate With Union. Nev/ York, Special.—The secondday’s session of the sixteenth annual meeting of the American Newspaper Publishers’ Association was held here Wednesday. The session was devoted to the report of the* special standing committee which deals with labor or­ ganizations. Since the formation of. the committee in April, 1900, it is stat­ ed that there has been no strike. The present agreement between the asso­ciation and the unions will expire on May I and negotiations are now under way to mako a five-year agreement. N«w Rear Admirals.

North Carolina is well adapted by nature for the development of water power. Its surface may be compared to the upper face of a huge wedge whose edge corresponds to the ocean shore line, and whose gradual rise illustrates the State’s increasing elevation toward its western border, culminating in the Appalachian Moun­tain ridges, where are massed some of the highest peaks east of the Missis­ sippi River. Among these high forested mountains the rivers of the State rise and find their way seaward, at times with rapid descent One of the well defined physical feat­ures of tho State is a broad strip of country known as the Piedmont Plateau, whose eastern border is roughly parallel to the Atlantic Ocean, and about a hundred miles, more or less, west of it. It is composed of hard and ancient rocks, into which the rivers have not been able to cut their way so deeply as in the softer rocks below. Over this plateau many of the streams of the State must pass, cross­ing its eastern border in a succession of falls and rapids which furnish ad­mirable water power sites. So marked Is this feature, which can be traced en­ tirely across the State, thftt it has been termed the “fall line.” The fall line must be considered of especial econo­mic importance, for along it, as has been said, occur many valuable water powers, of which some are already in use and others may he developed. Con- siderable activity has been shown ot recent years in studying the power possibilities of tbfe North Carolina streams and gaging stations, conduc­ted by the U. S. Geological Survey, which ha\e been maintained on the Roanoke, Neal, Tar, Neuse, Haw, Deep, Cape Fear, Yadkin, Catawba and other streams. At these stations measure­ ments of flow are made, daily records of height kept, and information ob­tained on which further development of their waters must be based. Tho work of stream measurement in North Carolina is a part of the general inves­ tigation which the Geological Survey is making of the water resources of the country. State News Notes. It looks like Roanoke Islanid is des­ tined to be famous not only as the birth place of Virginia Dare, the first' Eng­ lish born child in AmeHca, but also as the home of tho perfection of wire­ less telegraphy. The United States weather bureau has been making ex­ periments there for months and now Marconi has established a station, there for making extensive experiments. Three thousand Western horses, known as “Cayuses” gathered from the ranges of the inter-mountain States, are to be shipped to South Africa for use in tho British army. Thv animals were purchased by agents of the Eirit- ish army, who have been scouring the country for weeks, and have been con­ centrated in corrals *n Salt Lake City and Grand Junction* Colo.

Already enough new construction work has been undertaken In the West for the coming year to be sufficient to in­ sure the addition of an immense mile­age to the railway system of the coun­ try, and schemes for new roads and extensions are developing constantly, says the Atlanta Constitution. Cabling from Constantinople, the correspondent of the Daily Chronicle declares the Bulgarians are planning a rising in Macedonia during the com­ing spring and that they are endeav­ oring to persuade tbe Greeks to join them. Albert 0. Klein, a student at the Uni­ versity of Michigan, committed suicide by taking prussic acid. This is the second of the students to commit sui­cide within the last two weeks. A lamp explosion in the house of Wiley Taylorf colored, caused a fire at South Mills, fourteen miles nor^h of Elizabeth City which swept the main business and residential portions of the town. Twenty-five buildings were de­stroyed. George McMahan, aged 16. of Win­ ston, was sent to jail for four months for larceny. His father, who is one of Davie county’s best citizens-, testified that George was a kleptomaniac. Henry Taylor, a convict who Was sent from the penitentiary to Mitchell county to work on the Western North Carolina Railroad, has been tatcen back to the penitentiary, as he was found to be insane. Visitors in Raleigh last week were greatly impressed by the gravel roads, which are now being constructed ex­ clusively. They cost only a tenth as much as those of macadam. Jake Hill, of Stokes county, who has Invented an air ship, announces that he has decided to enter a flying machine contest at the St. Louis exposition. The business men at Raleigh who in­ terested themselves to re-establish there a tobacco market have raised nearly $10,000 for the purpose. A Greensboro tobaconist says that tobacco stems, which only a few years ago were considered absolutely worth­ less, are sold fop a good price, ranging from $10 to $12 a ton. A message from Yadkinville states that Will Martin, who shot Will Kelly at Huntersville, is reported to have been seen in th& county. Four-inch ice was harvested at Le­ noir Wednesday. Many hundred tons have been housed this winter, probably more than for some years past. About 40 prominent educators of the state attended the educational confer­ ence at Raleigh last week. Hereafter the judges of the Circuit Court of Appeals in North Carolina will wear gowns while on the bench. Commissioner of Agriculture Patter­ son says there were 500 delegates pres­ ent at th^ State road convention.

BEST VERMIFUGE KNOWN- SOLD EVERYWHERE. Delicately formed and gently reared, wosieu will finil, in all the seasons of tlioir lives, as maiia or wires or mothers, that the one simple, wholesome remedy ■which asts gently aad pleasantly and naturally, and ■which may be used with truly beneficial effects, under any conditions,wiien the system needs a laxative—is— Synip of Pigs. It is well known to he a simple com­ bination of the laxative aud carminative principles of plants with pleasant, aromatic liquids, Tvliich are agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable t o the system when its gentle cleansing is desired. Many of the ills from which women suffer are of a transient nature and do not come from any organic trouble and it is pleasant to know that they yield so promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrnp of Figs, bat when anything more than a laxative is needed I t is best to consult the family PhjrSician and to avoid tho old-time cathartics and londly advertised nos­ trums of the present day. TtTicn one needs only to remove the strain, tho torpor, the congestion, or similar ills, which attend upon a constipated condi­ tion of the system, rise the trno and gentle remedy— Syrnp of Figs—and enjoy freedom from the depres­ sion, tho aches and pains, colds and headachcs, which are due to inactivity of the bowels. Only those who buy tho genuine Syrup of Figs can hope to g e t its beneficial effects and as a gnar- antee of the excellence of the remedy tho full name of the company—California K g Syiup Co.—is printed on the front of every package and ’w ith o u t it any preparation offered as Syrnp of Figs is fraud­ ulent and should be declined. To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any substitute, when Syrup of Figs is called for, is always resented by a transfer of patronage to some first-class drug establishment, where they do not recommend, nor sell false brands, nor imitation remedies.
