It was largely attended and the negro was conspicuous by his ab­ sence. The most important action- of the convention was the endorsement of the candidacy of Thos. N. Hill, of Hali­ fax, for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and the leaving blank the nomi­ nations for associate justices. Rev. D. A. Long was nominated for Superin­tendent of Public Instruction and Dr. D. H. Abbbott for Corporation Com­ missioner. The convention was called to order in the opera house, at 12 o’clock by State Chairman Pritchard. For half an hour before the time set for the meeting the delegate's gathered In the hall and galleries and listened to the music of the Randleman Band, brought by the Randolph county dele­ gation for the purpose. When Mr. Pritchard tapped the table and called for order the assemblage became quiet. The chairman introduced Mr. R. D. Douglass, who welcomed the conven­ tion to Greensboro. SENATOR PRITCHARD’S SPEECH. The following is a synopsis of Sena­ tor Pritchard’s speech:We have reached the period in our history when the issues of a political campaign should be considered from a business standpoint. The industrial conditions in the country from Harris­ on’s administration to the present time were then reviewed, and the prevalent prosperity attributed to Republican rule In the nation. There were 420 more corporations chartered in North Carolina under Republican national ad­ ministration from March 4, 1897, to March 4, 1901, than from July I, 1893, to March 4,1897, under Democratic na­ tional administration. “In this con­ nection I also call attention to the fact that from March 4, 1901, to March 4, 1902, there were 355 corporations chartered, an amount almost equal to the number chartered during the four years of Democratic administration.” The Senator made much of the fact that the cash balance in the national Treasury was, on July I, this year, $208,630,022.64, and showed that the Republicans had managed the affairs of the government with consummate skill and ability. A high tribute was paid to both McKinley and Roosevelt. The Democratic party was severely ar­ raigned for its alleged attack upon American soldiers in the Philippines. “The position of the Republican party with respect to the Philippine question is that we bought and paid for the Philippine Islands, and we own them as much as we own any other territory. We propose to retain them and to give their inhabitants the very best form of government suitable to their necessi­ ties as a people. The acquisition of this territory by our government will in the end result in more substantial benefit to the South than all other sec­ tions of the country combined. What we need'is a market for our surplus^ • cotton and cotton fabrics, and the Orient is a country whose people are by climate and habits the natural cus­ tomers of the cotton planters of the « South. In the Orient we can find a ready market for our surplus raw cot­ ton as well as our cotton fabrics and the Southern man who stands in the •way of the extension of our trade in that direction is either very short will agree that in the future no effort will be made to test what is known: as the constitutional amendment The is­ suance of the, document to which I re­fer did not create any excitement in any quarter, in so far as I can learn. His manifesto fell flat, and has been the subject of much ridicule and merri­ ment among the small boys In the dif­ ferent sections of the State. . . . “During the consideration of the amendment two years ago. Senator Simmons circulated a statement which was signed by 162 prominent lawyers, the first paragraph of which is as fol­ lows: ‘We, the undersigned lawyersmembers of the North Carolina bar, af­ ter having examined' and considered the provisions of the proposed amend­ ment to the constitution submitted by the Legislature of 1899 to the people for ratification, give it as our opinion that the said amendment is not in con­ flict either with the State or Federal constitution/ This statement was signed by such lawyers as Hon. James 33. Shepherd, Judge MacRae, Col. H. C. Jcnes, Edward Pou, Lee S. Overman, Theodore F. Kluttz, John S. Hender­ son, T. G. Skinner, M. H. Justice, and others ,and met with the hearty ap­ proval of Senator Simmons, Governor Aycock and the leaders of the. Demo­ cratic party. In that statement they said that the proposed amendment was not in conflict with either State or the Federal constitution, and that its adop­ tion would forever settle the negro is­ sue. If they were not mistaken what harm could come to any one if some colored man should decide to test its constitutionality. It cannot be possible that Senator Simmons and the other distinguished Democratic lawyers could be mistaken about a great consti­ tutional question like this. In other words, if the Democratic politicians and the Democratic lawyers were cor­ rect in their opinion about the consti­ tutional amendment two years ago, Senator Simmons need not be alarmed in the slightest degree about the tale of the amendment. “In this connection I desire to call attention to the fact that every regis­ trar in North Carolina at the next elec­tion will b»? controlled by that parry. It is for the JJtmocratic party to say how many colored people shall vote at the. ensuing election, and no one knows this better- than Senator Sim­ mons himself, and ary attempt cn his part to raise the negro question at this time is done for the purpose of divert­ ing attention from The real issue ?n* * Uved in this campaign. There is no one who favors negro domination. The majority of the colored peopla of North Carolina are conservative, j.a- triotic and law-abiding, and .Senator Simmons knows that they do not want negrc' domination and his efforts at this time to create a race issue do this class of people a great injustice. “The quostion now is as to whether ov not our Demoeiatic friends will a a in good faith with respect to a solemn pledge Wiiith they made on every slump in the State. “The issue which Senator Simmons seeks' to raise with respect to the amendment at this juncture of our af­ fairs cannot be consistently ■ urged: by the leaders of the Democratic frarty.;He seeks to avoid a solemn promise which he and all other !Democrats Eqade in the sighted or willing to sacrifice the best [ campaign two years ago, to-vit, thai interests of this section in order to the adoption of the constitutional create a political issue.” The Philip- * amendment would eliminate the race pines are the ’ gateway to the Orient !-Issue in future campaigns, and would and contain splendid trade possibili- enable the business men of the State ties within themselves. ? to exercise intellectual freedom ot THE TARIFF. Senator PritcharcL^idicyled Senator “fflmfl[0H8''feir'saying in a recSnt^inter- view: “So far as the South is concern­ed, at least, the Democrats recognize the silver question as temporarily eli­ minated from national political affaire. I do not say that it is a dead issue, but I do say that it must slumber for a few - years. In my opinion the big issue in the next campaign will be the tariff.” In ’96 the Democrats found the tariff an embarrassing question and let it “slumber awhile,” and .now they find the silver question the embarrassing proposition and are going to let it .“slumber for a . few years.” “Other sections of the country have become prosperous in consequence of our pro­ tective tariff laws, and have accumu­ lated their millions, and now that they are in the full enjoyment of the bles­ sings incident thereto, it would be in­ equitable and unjust for the United States to adopt a policy of tariff reduc­ tion which would necessarily carry with it a general reduction in the prices of all raw material, the most of whieh is to be found in our section.” THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND­MENT. ThG constitutional amendment and the negro question were referred to as follows: “Senator Simmons, a few weeks ago, issued a statement to the people of the State in which he undertook to show that he had discovered a plot \fy which the colored people are to rise up dur­ ing the month of October, and com­ pletely demolish the white people of the State. It is not my purpose on this occasion to undertake to answer in de­ tail the absurd statement which he has seen, fit- to make, but there are some features of the question to which I de­ sire to allude briefly. He says that the negro question can never be settled in North Carolina until the Renublicans thought. “When the constitutional amend- -lae&t-was-adppted by the people of the State, it then passed "but of the realm of politics, and ifi Senator Simmons, Governor Aycock and the other leaders of the Democratic party meant what they said two years ago there can be no such thing as a race issue in the present campaign. The Democratic administration in the State was attacked as being incom­ petent, and the State Auditor quoted as apologizing to officers of various co­ operations in the State for the oppress­ ive taxation laws. “I am informed,” said Senator Pritchard, “that a num­ ber of business men have left the State since the adoption of the present reve­ nue act rather than comply with che many vexatious provisions which it contains, and that within the past year cuite a large number of corporations formed a capital which properly be­ longed to North Carolina have been forced to go to New Jersey for the purr pose of securing articles of incorpora­ tion, in consequence of the unjust pro­ visions in our laws with respect to such matters, and I have been told since coming to Greensboro that for the same reason several corporations In Guilford county have within the past six months surrendered their charters and obtained charters in the State of New Jersey.” The revenue law was at­tacked at other points'asd the. state­ ment made that “there is a growing tendency on the part of the Democratic party in North Carolina to discriminate against private corporations. “Whereas we come to examine the Auditor’s reports with respect to re­ ceipts and disbursements, we find a condition of affairs that is calculated to alarm the taxpayers of the State. In 1898 the burden of Gov. Aycock's song was to the effect that the fusion ad­ ministration had collected and expend­ ed by a Democratic Legislature* He in­ sisted that the Populists and Republi­ cans should be turned out of power, and that the Democrats should again be entrusted with the management of oiir State affairs upon the ground that there was a reckless expenditure of the people’s money. One would imagine that after having made such an appeal, in the event of success the Democrat* ic party would have cut down rather than increased our expenditures, but such was not the case."THE DEFICIT IN THE STATE TREASURY. A tabular statement was produced showing that in the three years-, 1896, 1S97 and 1898, under fusion rule, total receipts had been $3,886,088.31 and to­ tal expenditures $3,832,792.79, leaving a surplus of $53,295.52, while in the three years of Democratic rule, 1899, 1900 and 1901, the total receipts had been $4,766,498.03 and expenditures $4,- »21,336.10, leaving a deficiency of $154,- 838 02 “It will be observed by the forego­ ing table tbat under the three years of Democratic rule which we have Jast had they have collected from the peo­ ple $SS0,419.77 more than was collect­ ed in the same length of time under fusion or Republican rule. This state­ ment also shows that they have ex­ pended the enormous sum of $1,088,- 545.31 more in the three years of Dem­ ocratic rule than was expended during the same time under Republican or fu­ sion rule.“One would infer from Senator Sim­ mons’ statements that there was not increase in appropriations for any of the State institutions during Republi­ can and Populist rule, but such is not the case. I call attention to the fact that there was an increased appropria­ tion for the year 1898 for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind new building and re­ modeling the old one, which amounted to $53,163. There was also an increase for the Deaf and Dumb Asylum at Mor- ganton which amounted to $20,000. There was an increase in the appropri­ ation for the Insane Asylum at Ral­ eigh for the year 1896 of $20,000, for the Deaf and Dumb Asylum at Morgan- ton of $20,850, and in increase of $3,633 for the Western Hospital at Morgan- ton, as well as an increase of $3,525 for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind School at Raleigh. “After meeting* all these increased expenses, there was in the State Treas­ ury January 19, 1901, when it was turned over by Treasurer Worth to Mr. Lacy, a cash balance of $37,528.36. This is a splendid showing and is sufficient within itself to convince any fair- minded person that the fusion party while in power administered our State affairs in a more satisfactory and eco­ nomical manner than they are being administered by the present adminis­ tration.” The deficit now confronting the State Treasurer is estimated at $450,000. CAPT. CHAS. PRICE PERMANENT CHAIRMAN. . The report of the committee being adopted, Capt. Charles Price was nam­ ed as permanent chairman and R. H. McNeill, secretary, by the committee on organization, composed by W. P. By­ num, W. S. Hyams, A. E. Holton, Chas. McNamee, E.- C. Duncan and D. H. Ab­ bott. The committee of platform was an­ nounced as follows: Firet district, Harry Skinner; second district, E. M. Steward; third district, D. H. Abbott; fourth district, C. P. Lockey; fifth dis­ trict, C. A. Reynolds; sixth district, T. A. Sutton, seventh district, Z. V. Wal- ser; eighth district, A. H. Price; ninth district, L. L. Jenkins; tenth district, ..I. J. Britt. The convention then took a recess until 8:25 o'clock. , The result of the hot fight in caucus was the winning out of Senator Pritch­ ard by the adoption by a viva-voca vote by a narrow majority of the following resolutions which will be adopted to­ night. “Resolved. That, whereas, the Re­ publican party desires the elevation to the bench of the best fitted lawyers of the State, regardless of party affilia­ tions, the candidacy of the Hon. Thom­ as H. Hill, of Halifax, for Chief Justice, of North Carolina, is hereby endorsed and we, the Republicans of the State, in convention assembled; do earnestly recommend him to the people of the State for this high office. “Resolved, further. That it is the sense of this convention, that no nom­ inations for associate justices be. made at this time, but that the executive committee, hereafter, is empowered to take such action in relation to the same as shall seem best.” HILL ENDORSED FOR CHIEF JUS­ TICE. When the convention assembled after supper, Mr. Seawell. of Moore, offered a resolution endorsing Senator Pritch­ ard and the records of Congressmen Moody and Blackburn, which was unanimously adopted. Assistant Dis­ trict Attorney Price then offered the resolution agreed on In the caucus en­ dorsing T. H. Hill for Chief Justice and leaving blank the nominations for Associate Justices, which was adopted without opposition. D. A. Long, of Alamance, was nomi­ nated for Superintendent of Public Instruction by R. N. Douglass, who, in answer to inquiry, vouched for his Re­ publicanism and he went through all right.

REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM Declaration of Principles Issued By. the Convention. Z. V. Walse-r th e n rep o rted th e reso­ lu tio n s of th e co m m ittee o n p latfo rm , Prhich were adopted w ith o u t opposition. They a re a s follow s: “The Republicans of North Carolina, in convention assembled at Greens­ boro, on the 28th day of August, 1902, adopt the following as a declaration of principles upon which they ask the sup­ p o r ts the people of the State: “We deplore and deeply mourn the doath of President McKinley. His Christian character, noblo impulses and patriotic spirit have done more to strengthen Republican institutionsthan any other agency which has been em­ ployed in modern times, and his life and work will be a tower of strength to the Christian religion and to official integrity and fidelity for all time to come. "While we deeply mourn the loss of our beloved President, at the same time we appreciate the fact that in President Roosevelt we have a President whose honosty of purpose and patriotism are such as to assure us t.hat the affairs of the American people are in safe-keep­ ing, and his faith in the principles of Republicanism is such as to guarantee a faithful adherence to those things that have given this republic its grand position as a world power. “We endorse the national platform of the Republican party adopted at Philadelphia, and point with pride to the unexampled prosperity which the Republican administration has brought to the country at large. “Intelligence being the corner stone of the State, and the education of the masses being dependent solely upon our public schools, we favor the sup­ port by public taxation of at least a four-months school in every school district in the State, and we condemn the Democratic party for its failure to provide proper educational facilities for the education of the poor children of the State during its lease of power from 1870 to 1895. “We favor generous public aid to all charitable institutions of the State, and the enactment of such pension law's as will give the ex-Confederate soldiers a more generous and equitable distribu­ tion of this fund than is provided for by the present pension laws. “We favor such State legislation as will encourage the invetment of capi­ ta], both foreign and domestic, and we respectfully invite capitalists from abroad to come among us and assist in the development of our wonderful re­ sources. “We invite the attention of the peo­ ple of the State to the clean, able and economic administration of our State government by the Republican and Populist parties from 1897 to 1901, and challenge a comparison of it with the present reckless management of our af­ fairs by the. Democratic party. “We arraign the leaders of the Dem­ ocratic party as false to every pledg-3 made in the last campaign. “They promised to reduce expenses, and instead of doing so they have in­ creased expenditures in almost every department of our State government. “They promised to curtail rather than increase the number of " offices, and instead of doing so they have in­ creased the judge and solicitors from 12 to 16, and have made other increas­ es by providing for the employment of clerical help th?.t has not heretofore been deemed necessary under similar circumstances. “They promised to reduce salaries, but instead of doing so they have in­ creased the Governor’s salary during his term of office, in violation of the constitution, and have provided many ways by which the people are today taxed for in excess of any rate they have heretofore had to pay. “They promised to reduce taxation, and instead of doing so they have leg­ islated lso that our receipts have in­ creased within three years in the sum of $580,419.97. “They promised to reduce cxpendU tures, and instead of doing so, in three years they have increased in the sum of $1,088,545.31. “They promised, by affidavit and otherwise, that no white man would be disfranchised under the amendment to our constitution, but instead of ob­ serving their pledge with respect to this matter, the Democratic .State chairman is now forced to admit that 18,000 white men will be denied the right to vote at the approaching elec­tion. “We condemn them for an unwar­ ranted effort to impeach, for purely partisan purposes, and because of their action in following precedents estab­ lished by the Supreme Court of this State in a long line of decisions cover­ ing a period of more than 60 years, two of our Supreme Court justices. “We furthermore condemn them for the enactment of legislation appropri­ ating the money of the people for the purpose of defraying the expenses of persons indicted for the violation of laws which they had sworn to obey, and for granting amnesty to such per­ sons from prosecution in the State courts. “We declare that when the constitu­ tional amendment was adopted by the people of North Carolina two years ago it passed out of the realm of polities and that if Governor Aycock, Senator Simmons and others keep faith with the people in the pledges then ioade. there can be no such thing as a race issue in the present campaign.” Trouble Threatened. Johannesburg, By Cable.—A strong force of British troops has been dis­ patched to the western border of the Transvaal, ostensibly to relieve troops ordered to Indiana, but it is currently reported that this step is taken owing to disturbances among the -natives. Ru­ mors are also current here of an inten­ tion to annex or establish a protector­ ate in Swaziland, where a strong force of constabuiarly is now posted.

Two Companies of State Militia Hur­ ried to the Scene of Disturbance on Trolley CarA Tamaqua1 Pa., Speciai.—The situa­ tion in the Panther Creek district is serious. At 8 o’clock the streets of Langford and Summit Hill were thronged with strikers. Early in the evening two companies of the twelfth Regiment were sent through the val­ ley .on trolley cars. All along the sol­ diers were hooted and jeered and it was not deemed prudent to take them off the cars. While Mary Markley was carrying supper to her brother who is employ­ ed at a colliery near Lansfordi she was set upon and severely beaten by a crowd of women. Late to-night the crowds on the streets have dwindled down considerably, and order has been partialy restored. The civil au­ thorities express the belief that there will be no serious disturbances dur­ ing the night. They are fearful, how­ ever, that a serious clash wil oceur between the troops,and the strikers in the morning.The fact that the Lehigh Coal and Navigatoin Company is hoisting coal at its No 4 colliery has greatly incens­ ed the mine workers, especially the foreigners, and they are determined not to allow non-union men to go to work to-morrow. At daybreak the Governor’s Troop and the First Bat­ talion of the Twelfth Regiment will go to Lansford and Summit Hill. If the strikers continue to interfere with the non-union men it is probable that botli towns will be placed under mar­ tial law. 8oo Shots Exchanged. IIinton, W. Va., Special.—Great ex­ citement exists in the vicinity of Red Ash caused by the constables remov­ ing the striking miners from the com­ pany’s houses. Several families who occupied the houses of the Red Ash Coal Company refused to vacate and when the constables began to remove their household goods, a voley of shots was fired at the officers from the opposite side of the river. They returned the fire, using Winchesters, and it is estimated that 800 shots were fired. The shooting was all at long range and no one on the Red Ash side was hurt. About 40 depu­ties, who have been stationed at Thurmand and other points in the striking district, were rushed to the scene of the shooting and a late re­ port now states that the men who be­ gan the firing are are how surrounded. The officers are removing the house­ hold goods and the houses will be oc­ cupied by other miners who are will­ ing to work. The coal output is stead­ ily increasing. One hundred and ten cars of coal and 23 cars of coke were loaded in the New river field Lebanon, Pa., Special.—The 60 col­ ored strike breakers brought here were put to work in the American Iron and Steel Company without op­ position from those on strike, al­ though trouble was feared. Imme- thereafter 25 moulders employed by the company quit because they would not work with the colored men. Wilcox Case Argued. Raleigh, Special.—The appeal in the Wilcox case in which a new trial is asked for James Wilcox, sentenced to be hanged for the murder of Nellie Cropsey at Elizabeth City, was heard Tuesday by the State Supreme Court. Appellants endeavored to have the court consider an affidavit made by Wilcox’s father that his son did not have a fair trial and that the ringing of bells and demonstrations in court influenced the jury. This was refused. The grounds of appeal are that the ringing of bells and demonstrations in court influenced the jury. This was re­ fused. The grounds of appeal are that the plaintiffs did not have sufficient evidence to go to the jury or warrant a conviction; that'the testimony was not in proper shape and that there were errors in the judge’s charge. The State pleaded as facts to show a ’rime had been committed that there was no water in the stomach, langs or pleural cavities of the dead body of Nellie Cropsey1 no blcod in the heart, little or no froth in the lungs, that there was a ibruise on the head; that the brains were decayed, the rest of the body initact and the membrane of the skull discolored. To show Wilcox’s guilt they pleaded the opportunity, time, plice, 20 minutes unaccounted for and his !indifference about the matter. It wili be several weeks before a decis­ ion is handed down. Thinks- Daughter was Murdered. Beaumojtt, Tex., Special.—Mrs. E. M. Vogel, I the mother of Miss Lola M. Vogel, who was found dead in her room in a fashionable hotel, arrived from her home in Galveston and de­ money that the girl had with her are missing and she insists that there was no reason for suicide. Officers are in­ vestigating the murder theory. Two bottles that had contained morphine were found under the top part of a lounge in the girl's room. • Accused of Train Wrecking. Toccoa, Ga., Special.—Officials of Oconee county, S. C., have taken into custody three men, Henry Love, John Howard and Thomas Howard, whom they charge are responsible for the wreck of the Southern Railway’s fast mail near Toccoa last Monday, The re- c-ulta of the investigation show that the train was deliberately derailed.

Kendall, WeBt Virginia’* State commissioner, of banking, has issued a bulletin showing the condition of all tHe State banks of the State the ciose of business on July 16, 1902. This list does not include the national banks which report their condition on callto the comptroller of the treasury.

The 112 banks re­ porting have total resdurses of $40,405,- 163; loans and discounts, $2§,-3&9,691» deposits, $31,017,267; surplus and undi­ vided' profits,' $2,758,867; There are nine banks in the State—State banks only—outside of those in Wheeling, having deposits of $500,000 or more.

The mere fact that certain protected taanufacturers sell cheaper In the for­ eign than In the domestic market does not strike the Dubuque Times as af­ fording a sufficient rbasort for abandon­ ing the systerfl of protection to Ameri­ can labor and industry. Very much to the point the Times calls attention.to the fact that'the same thing is done In the presence of domestic .competition to market the silrpihS oi* gain iiew inar- kets. Th* jobbers and manufacturers of bttbiique. Des Moines, Cedar Bap- ids, Davenport and other Iowa cities have no monopoly. Yet they common­ ly sell cheaper In foreign markets, mar­ kets reached over two or more lines of railroad than in domestic markets-, that is to say markets reached bver one continuous line of railroad and -without paying “two locals." To get or maintain trade In the foreign mar- kets they must “equalise the freighls.’’ If these are fifty per cent, ill excess of the rate from Des Moiiles tiie Dubuque manufacturer selling iii DeS Moines ferrit&ry must pay the excess, besides quoting a price that will get the bnsi- iiess. Ths practical common sense of the question is thus stated by the Times: “This makes Iiis foreign less profit­ able than his domestic trade, and it may, in fact, involve selling at cost of production or less, if he is a manufac­ turer, but his factory has a certain ca­ pacity, and the minimum of cost of product at the factory is obtained by working the plant to its full capacity. He finds It more profitable to do this and sell the surplus at cost, if neces- SaiTi than Io I'edtice tiie output and thus raise the factory "cost of each Unit of product sold ih tiie home mar­ ket. if he cail manufacture 1500 units of product at less cost per unit than 1000 and sell the surplus 500 units at cost he is in Iiettei1 jibsition to meet do­ mestic or foreign competition in the do­ mestic market than if lie had manu­ factured 1000 units only and kept out of the foreign market, and the befter his ability to meet competition in the domestic market the lower prices in the domestic market, so long OS Competi­ tion remains active.” As a matter of fact, tiie granting of discounts to foreign liurchasers has been grossly exaggerated for political effect. 1I-Iie extent to WrIiieli tiiis prac­ tice has been -carried oil ‘could not be ascertained witii anything approaching exactfit-sS, but it is very certain that in times like the present, when doropsiic production is strained to Uieet tiie enor­ mous consuBtiititm tliat has grown out of protection prosperity, the granting of export discounts must necessarily be confined to a limited number of in­ dustries. It never amounted to much, anyhow, certainly not enough tb jus­ tify any radical interference with our tariff system. Ameriean wage earners, who constitiiis the great bulk of do­ mestic- consumers, are not finding any fault on the score of discounts to the export trade. What they know is that thtre is abundant tmploymeDt at good wages, <tn;i they are not the ones who claiBbr for such a ripping open of the tariff as would close the mills and fac­ tories when the limit of domestic con­ sumption should be reached. It is only the politician* of the !Free irade and mugwump persuasion that would like bft sec this done. :: ^ 1,1 many are even ii Jmn 5aracs Bussell in 1002. i llUluau happiness in ! a* i, , ; ® llas 8°®« *rom a loW Ear? •,. 1 ,0 tlle highest indexe lMoira.

John’s Protestant Episcopal, church, Lafayette square, were sold} &t big prices. Pew No. 52 brought | $2,750, while pew No. 77 was sold fori $1,600; While these prices may seem large, in reality they are not, for it I is a rare thing for a pew in old St- John’s, which is the ultra-fashionable church in Washington, to be had for love or money.” The church edi* fice being so small, the pews have for years beeii most sought Sfter4 and they have been attainably only Cf recent years by auction: Then they are sold outright to the purchasers and remain in a family until that fam­ ily either dies but or moves away from the capital. Often pewholders frith small families sell a seat in their psws for a certain number of years, snd even a single seat brings prices array up in the hundreds of dollars. It has been several years since there was a chance to purchase a pew in St. John’s. The last one sold—at auction of course—was during the Cleveland administration. It brought a better price than the two sold Friday on ac­ count of its superior - location. There is a waiting list of persons who desire pews or seats in S t John's which, if filled, woiiid tafcci up all the seatings in a new church almost twice the size of tae present bno; Some years ago a BaitimSrean bought a pew ih St: JohniS and gave it to the church with the distinct under­ standing that it was to be placed at the disposal of the president bf the United States and his family. Presi­ dents of late years, however, have rarely used this pew, for Mr. Cleve­ land attended the Presbyterian church, and so did Mr. Harrison.

More brains are now to bo found in business than in statecraft. In fact tb- workers may well ask the statesmen as a rule to let them alone.

If -the reports be correct, aud I have rea­ son to believe that they are, the candidates who paid the money and the delegates who accepted it should be singled out and remem­ bered. That, is a kind of corrup­ tion anduo decent man should be guilty of it. W hatare we coming to f How can the Democratic par­ ty command the respect of the people if such methods are tolera­ ted I I asked a man during the Monroe convention if he could not unite the forces of his county and make a nomination. H is answer, was: “ No. Two-thirds of the delegates from my county are here at the expense of a certain candi- dateand they can’t afford to change as long as he is in the race.” W hat kind of Democracy do yon call that f The delegate who goes to a convention under such conditions IsnotmuchtOfa man. There is danger in the practice of such methods. It will soon be so that a poor man, though he be worthy, cannot get a nomination.—H . E. O. Bryant in Charlotte Observer. The above indictm ent of the Democratic candidates through a Iemocratic paper is refreshing in one sense of the word, and if there was no truth in the charges it wonld be serious and m ight result in a libel suit, but it’s true, if one can believe w hat one of the dele­ gates from this county to the Mon­ roe convention said. Some one asked him how he came to go, and he innocently rem arked that it did not cost him anything. We have other evidence tnat the expenses of other delegates from this coun­ ty were paid, by whom we do not know, but the natural presump tion is that some of th e can­ didates footed the bills. W hen our Democratic friends are having so much to say about the influence of Senator Pritchard at Greensbo­ ro let them think of,their own conventions, dominated and con­ trolled by men who paid the rail­ road fare etc, of a lot of the dele­ gates, and when they make the comparison, it will be seen that the Democratic party is stooping too low to conquer, and' that its pie hunters are in the saddle. How the mighty have fallen I and w hith­ er are we drifting ? Our Demo­ cratic friends have been stealing the nigger vote in the east, and two years ago made a raid in portions of the West, and now, they pro pjse buying aud paying tor the nominations, but how they expect to carry the election is to be seen. AU honest men should stand as a solid phalanx against the debau­ chery of the electorate, our boasted liberty will soon be a thing of the past. It’s tim e to call a halt. “To your tents oh Israel,” aroaDd I n dleiiludI v * tale JTfPhwicii A% ’s Wild IJide For J4te. expecting a son riding for llJ get Dr. K ing’s (Wh.-,u’!eiJ for Consumption, O iL aud0olds, W.H.

Oom paredwith the three years, 1896, 1897, 1898, Under fu­ sion rule, the democrats, in the years 1899, 1900 and 1901, expend ed over a million aud a quarter dollars more than the fusionists. To excuse this Senator Simmons says: “ The democratic legislature of 1S99 and 1901 appropriated for these three great objects, educa­ tion, charity and pensions to con­ federate soldiers, something over a million dollars more than the two fusion legislatures appropriated for those purposes.” But this is not true, The fu­ sionists appropriated for ch arity and pensions for the three years named, $1,204,191.10. The demo­ cratic appropriations for the three years and named were $1,357,473. 02. This shows they paid a dif­ ference of $153,278.92. They paid extra for public schools $217,358:- 33. These figures show that the democrats only paid $370,637.25 for schools, charity and pensions in excess of the fusion legislature. But there is another story: The fniionists collected in taxes IU 1896, - $1,241,917.57 1897, - 1,292,547.67 1898, - 1,334,982.28 Total for 3 years, $3,871,547.38 They left a surplus in the treasury of 130,00000.

A fter giving them credit for the extra appro­ priations for the schools and the afflicted the democrats spent $930.- 313.33—nearly a . million—more than the fusionists did in the same iength of tim e.

PRESIDENT HAS A CLOSE CALL Trolley Car Demolishes Bis Carriage and Kills Aa Attendant MR. ROOSEVELTSLIGflTLY INJURED Tlie Accident Occurred Near Pitts­ field, Hass. — Secretary Cortelyou Was Painfully Cut and Bruised— Car Alotorman Probably to Blame, Pittsfield, Mass, SpeoIal--The Presi. dent of the Cnited States e3eaped a- tragic death by only a few feet in a collision between his carriage and an electric street .ear .in this city Wednes­ day, while one of his most trusted guards, Secret Ser-vice Agent Wm. Craig, was instantly killed, and David J. P ratt of Dalton, who was guiding the horses attached-to the vehicle, was seriously injured. !President Roosevelt himself was -badly shaken up and re­ ceived a !slight .facial bruise. Secretary Cortatyou, who occupied a seat direct­ ly e®posite She Chief Executive in the landau, sustained a minor wound In the back of the'.head, and Governor Crane, who sat beside the President, extricat­ ed himself .from the wreck practically without asscratch. The carriage was demolished'by the impact of the rapid­ ly-moving, car and the wheel horse on the side nearest the car was killed out­ right. The crew and passengers of the car escaped injury. The President and his party were driving from this city to Lenox through South street, one of the thor­ oughfares, which was lined with cheer­ ing people, and the catastrophe occur­ red in plain view of hundreds whose happiness at the event of the nation" chief's visit was suddenly turned to grief. Thousands had poured into the city in the early morning from the nearby country to see and hear. The President’s address at the City Park had been loudly cheered. At the con­ clusion of the exercises he wished to make a brief call on former United States Senator Henry L. Dawes, whose house in Elm street is but a short dis­ tance from the park. The President’s carriage, in which he had ridden in from Governor Crane’s home at Dal­ ton, was accordingly driven to the Dawes residence and carriages contain­ ing a number of other gentlemen in the party were entertained. The call was a short one and then the carriages re­ turned to the city square. After a few moment’s delay the journey towards Lenox was begun. Meanwhile, the mounted escort of police officers and the carriages containing the newspa­ per correspondents who have accom­ panied the President on his tour had started oft ahead on the road to Lencx and were some distance in advance of the President’s equipage. Three or four open carriages fell in line immediately behind the landau in which the Presi­ dent rode with Secretary Cortelyou and Governor Crane. Secret Service Agent Craig, who, throughout the New England tour, has been almost con­ stantly at the President's elbow, was' on the driver’s box, beside Coachman Pratt. In attempting to cross the track of the trolley line, the carriage was struck squarely and overturned. Agent Craig fell from his seat imme­ diately in front of the car and it pass­ ed completely over his body. Driver Pratt in falling struck the dead home immediately In front of him and rolled clear of the car, thus escaping a simi­ lar fate. President Roosevelt, Gover­ nor Crane and Secretary Cortelyou were thrown to the botton of the car­ riage. Almost instantly a score of men jumped to the heads of the frightened horses and estopped their further run­ ning. Governor Crane ,was the first to get to his feet, escaping entirely un­ hurt He turned immediately to the President, helped the latter to arise and assisted Secretary Cortelyou. The President’s lip was cut and blood was flowing from the wound. His cloth­ ing was disarranged and be was much shaken up. Secretary Cortelyou had a severe wound In the back of-his head, from which blood was flowing freely. The Presifient quickly regained his composure :anfi the three soon after re­ paired to the residence of Chas. R. Ste­ vens, near the -scene of the accident. Mr. Craig’s body was found just behind the car- His shoulders and chest were crushed and the body frightfully man­ gled. Driver Pratt was found uncon­ scious In the :road. His shoulder was dislocated, :his ankle sprained and his face badly cut and bruised. He was immediately placed in a carriage and taken to a house near by, where he was attended by Drs. 'Flynn and Paddock, who say that he will recover.- Agent Craig’s body was taken to the resi­ dence of Mrs. A. B. Stevens, adjoining the house to which the President had repaired with Govmnor Crane and Secretary Cortelyou, and later removed to an undertaking room In this city.After caring lor the dead man, the party resumed Its journey In silence, the President !especially requesting that no cheering tie Indulged In. Witnesses say the President was calm and collectefi and deplored the death of Craig; . "He was the most faithful man I ever saw," said he, “my children fairly worshiped him." When Craig saw the impending ,danger- and that a collision could not be avoided he was heard to say: “Qfc, My God,” and then he was hurled through the air and fell under the car wheels. When the President got out of the wreck he asked the motorman, “Why were you running your ear like that?” which brought only- the response, “Because I had the right of way." The President said that when he saw the car coming at such terrifle speed he felt that all in the carriage would surely be killed. According to another story the President was stunned for. hut a second and springing to ins feet walked back about 15 yards, where the trolley had stopped and told the motor­ man that unless the car had gotten be-- yond his control, which did not seem possible, In view of the ;way it had stopped, he had committed an act of crim in al recklessness, which had re- rw t!ie death of at least one man * Vth e m otO rm an pays he was in- Structed to run througa without stop- st f vv?i,Say? tIle ear was Dot running Al a high rate of speefi. SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL Third New Mill. Another large mill! is announced as tosbe established at Anderson, S. C., and is the third one projected there this year. The other two are under con­ struction at present. The new company has applied for incorporation under the title of the Toxaway Mills, with capi­ tal stock placed at 1225,000, the incor­ porators being Messrs. D. P. McBrayert J. A. Brock, F. G. Brown, E. A. Led­ better and T. C. Jackson. Immediate arrangements will be made for the erection of buildings and the installa­ tion in due time of an equipment for the production of brown sheetings. The textile machinery will include, about 10,000 spindles and 300 looms. Messrs. McBrayer and Brock are al­ ready presidents of successful mills at Anderson. Mr. McBrayer has promoted this latest enterprise, and that he pro- posos organizing another company was mentioned June 12 by the Manufactur­ ers’ Record. Textile Notes. Randleman Manufacturing Co., of Randleman, N. C., has decided to add 2,500 spindles and complement of card­ ing machinery. Contract has been sign­ed for the machinery, and an addition­ al building has been begun to accom­ modate the new equipment. It is prob­ able from $40,000 to $50,000 will be expended for the improvements. The company's present equipment is 7,000 spindles and 350 looms. It is proposed to organize a com­ pany at Garysburg, N. C., for the es­ tablishment of a cotton mill. A capt- tel stock of $50,000 is contemplated, and about one-third of this amount hr>3 been subscribed by local investors. W. T. Joyner is promoting the enterprise, and will endeavor to interest outside capitalists. Garysburg is located at a junction of the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line railways, in a section that produces large quantities of cotton. It is said Giere Is no cotton mill at present in Northamptin county, in which Garysburg is located. Jas. P. Gossett, president William- ston Mills of Williamston, S. C.. has. re­ turned from New England, where he placed contract for machinery to double his company’s present equip­ ment of 5376 spindles and 150 looms. Tlie improvements will about double the investment. Announcement of the decision to enlarge to this extent was made in the Manufacturers' Record August 7. Messrs. W. sD. Mayfield, W. S. Moa- teith and Geo. S. Bearden, all of Co­ lumbia, S. C., have applied for incor­ poration of the Broad River Manufac­ turing Co., with capital stock of $100,- 000.

The company’s capita! stock is $60,- 000, as previously stated. It was stated last week that C. A. Withers, J. H. Ham and Jas. Ross of Charlotte, N. C., were reported as to build, a cotton mill. This report was ag error, as they have organized C. A Withers & Co., merely to conduct a general cotton business. The efforts to organize a cotton-mill company at Ringgold, Ga., will prob­ ably be successful. About $20,000 has been subscribed ^y the leading busi­ ness men. Mescsrs. J. E. Satterfield, W. H.

Philadelphia, Special.—The Record of Saturday print an interview on the coal strike with President Roosevelt who passed through this city Friday on his way to Washington. The Presi­ dent is quoted as saying; “I am grieved beyond measure at the difficulty in Pennsylvania and other coal producing States over the wage and kindred questions.” “What remedy is at hand?” he was asked. “There is a remedy,” said the Presi­ dent. “Do you mean the President cou]d In­ terfere?” “No,” replied the President, emphat­ ically. “What can be done?” he was then asked. "I would refer you to the men at the head of the Republican party who are in control of affairs in Pennsylvania. I am sure that their conservative opin­ ion of the difficulties rampant will ul­ timately make a settlement of this great question. Of course, politics does not enter into’ the mining problem, yet I seincerely hope that the Republican principles which are framed alike for high and low will level the problem to equity.” Another Opinion. Wilkesbarre, Speciab1-iT. 'L.* Lewis, vice president of the United Mine Workers arrived here from Virginia and had a conference with President Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell said Mr. Lewis’ visit was with reference to the strike in Virginia. President Mitchell says 700 men are affected by the settlement of the strike in the Pocahontas region. They were granted a semi-monthly pay-day, which the chief officer of the United Mine Workers thinks is a con­ cession. About 20,000 miners are still out in the Kanawha, • New River and Fairmont districts. So far as the anthracite region is concerned, President Mitchell says there is.no change in the situation. The district officers continue to report that the strikers remain firm. At the office of the coal companies it is claimed that the. number of applicants for work is increasing every day, and that the out­ put from the washeries and mines in operation this week will be the largest since the strike’ began. W anted to Kill His Wife. Cincinnati, O., Special—There were sensational developments in the sui­ cide last Tuesday night of George Con- . rad, head waiter for the Gibson House. His wife, on apprehending letters from the. wife of a prominent business man to ,her husband; was suing Conrad for divorce and a wealthy society woman for alienation of affections. The attor­ neys of- Mrs. Conrad applied to the postal authorities and among the Iatj ters. from Conrad to the woman of whom he was enamored there was found one in which Conrad outlined his plan, “to convey his wife to the middle of the Ohio river, upset the skiff, as though by accident, swim ashore him­ self and leave Mrs. Conrad to drown.” When Conrad was confronted by his wife’s attorneys with this letter and knew he would be prosecuted criminal­ ly, he had a hurried interview with the woman for whom he had deserted his wife and then killed himself. Mrs. Conrad says he repeatedly invited her to take boat rides, but she had been forewarned. The implication of a well- known woman here in the damage suit of Mrs. Conrad, has caused a great sen­sation. Briefs of a General Nature. The Ohio Democratic convention nominated the ticket chosen by Mayor Tom L. Johnson, and adopted a plat­ form denouncing trusts and declaring allegiance to the Kansas City ' plat­form. The voters j>f Vermont failed :to- give any of the candidates-1 for. G ov­ ernor a majority, and the legislature will have to choose the • governor. - President Roosevelt’s face was badly bruised in the wreck of his car­ riage at Pittsfield, Mass., where an electric car ran into it. William Craig, a Secret Service detective with the President, was killed, and D. J. Pratt, driver of the carriage, was severely injured. Secretary Cortelyou was bruised and shocked. The cruiser Brooklyn struck a roclc in Buzzard’s bay. near New Bedford, but is not thought to be seriously damaged. Franklin K.

Here he spent a few months in 1847. In the fall of 1848 he entered the South Carolina college. His collegiate career was cut short in his junior year by hi3 participation in the' famous “Steward Hail Rebellion/’ when he was expelled with 107 others. His mother died in his childhood, and he was but a lad when .his^fathor’s’ death left him an orphan under the care of his uncle, Mr. Osmond Wood­ ward, his father’s executor, February 15, 1856, Maj. Woodward very happily married Miss Cornelia M. DantzIor, of Orangeburg, S. C., and at that time settled on his plantation and turned his attention to the calllng.of his fathers. Mrs, Woodward died in 1878. Miss Re-* becca V. Lyles, daughter of Capt. Thomas M. Lyles, a grandson of the first white settler in Fairfield county,* became his second wife. In 1860-1 Fairfield county elected Maj; Woodward a representative in the legislature, and he was a member of the session which called the convention of secession, and his vote was cast for that measure. He volunteered as private in the Fairfield Fencibles at the outbreak of the Civil War, and upon the organization of the Sixth South Carolina Volunteer regiment he was elected major. He was seriously wounded at the battle of Dranesville. Subsequently he reenlisted as a private and was tendered the office of quarter­ master of the Twentieth Volunteer reg­ iment. Acting in that capacity, Maj. Woodward served during the remain­ ing years of the war. His regiment was attached to Kershaw’s brigade when they went into Virginia, and Major Woodward surrendered with Johnston at Greensboro. Returning to his home after the last struggle of the Confederacy, he resumod his occupa­ tion as a planner, and has since con­ tinued with increasing success. At the close-of the War of Secession .Major Woodward resumed the busi­ ness of farming on a large scale and with great success. He took constant interest in . public offairs—on all occa­ sions doing what he could to keep the white people of his country in good heart and In the resolution to throw off the yoke of negro rule at the earli­ est opportunity. He was sent to every meeting of the “Taxpayers’ Union,” and was one of a committee sent, in 1874/to President Grant to call that official’s attention to the infamies of the government of South Carolina, as organized under the Reconstruction measure of congress. In 1876 he did a most effective part in organizing the white people of Fair­ field for their part in the fight for Wade Hampton and white rule. In the campaign in his own country he was the constant and faithful coadjutor of John Bratton, the Democratic county chairman. In 1880 he was made Democratic county chairman of Fairfield and acted in that capacity untif 1886, when7 he declined reelection. Major Wqodward was a delegate to the Democratic con­ vention of 1876, which nominated Wade Hampton and a “straightout” ticket and for 14 years after represented his county in well-nigh every State con­ vention of his party. He was elected, without opposition, to the State sen­ ate in 1884, and re-elected in 1888, also without opposition. In the senate he took rank as one of the most useful members;. Major Woodward tbok an active, part in every movement looking tol the ad­ vancement of the agricultural interests of South Carolina. He .wa^-ohe of the organizers of the State Agricnltdral and Mechanical society,, and always took an active part InHpromqtihg its objects and its interests He served, as its president for two;terins, and his charge of its affairs was marked by great success. He declined to take part in the “farmers* movement-’ ; of 1890^holding that it-was fior political purposes only ,:and. that vthe :'Charges against the State government* and those controlling it were harsh and un­ just. ^ W est Virginia Coal Miners Agree to Resume Work.

Va., Special.—It is now believed tbe coal strike in "West Virginia is at an end. At a mass meet­ ing of miners from all the coal fields along the Norfolk & Western Railroad Thursday it was almost unanimously agreed to end the strike, provided the operators will take back all the old; miners, and the latter have signified their intention of doing this. The min­ ers have agreed to return to work next Monday morning. It is reported that President John Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers, advised the strikers to return to work as he real- Jqed. that winter is near at hand and- the miners in this field could not hold out much longer, as almost evdkyone is dependent upon the union for food and clothing. The strikers in the New Riv­ er and Kanawha fields will soon follow the action of the strikers on the Nor­ folk & Western. The Pocahontas mine continues to hurn, but the miners think they will soon hatge it under control. No violence has been reported from any quarter of the Norfolk & Western coal field. BIuefield, W.* Va., Special.—In con­ vention Thursday the miners decided to end the strike in the. Flat Top re- rion and the men were ordered to re­ turn to work Monday morning. Steps were taken at the conclusion of the meeting to notify the different camps of striking miners of its action, and in the greater number of cases, greeted with applause, the njajority of men being anxious to resume work after a summer’s rest. New labor has been brought into the field by car-loads for some time past, and the operators are short of men and will -reemploy the strikers. NON-UNION MEN UNMOLESTED. Tamaqua, Pa., Special.—Although Major Gearhart did not send any part of his troops oat, the non-union men were not molested while on their way to work. It is claimed that about the same number of men went to work. The Lehigh Valley Company claims to be shipping G00 tons of coal a day from the No. 12 colliery and 250 tons a day from the No. 4 colliery. The greater part of the coal is procured by .“jig­ ging” culm. President Baer’s statement has had a depressing effort upon the miners here. He is confident of victory. TENNESSEE MINERS QUIT WORK. Knoxville, Tenn., Special--The Sen­ tinel says: “About 300 miners employ­ ed by the Coal Creek Company have quit work on account of a failure to reach an agreement on the scale of wages for the year beginning Septem­ ber I. The Coal Creek Company does not recognize the United Mine Work­ ers of America and the agreement re­ cently reached between the miners’ committee and some of the operators of the Jelico and Coal Creek districts as to the scale of wages is not accepted by this company.Rpanoke, Vd., Special.—A telegram was received here from Vice President and General Manager L. E. Johnson, of the Norfolk & Western Railway Com­ pany, stating that at a meeting of the United Mine Workers," held at Key­ stone, W. Va., today, the strike of the coal miners, which has existed in the Pocahontas and other bituminous coal fields of the Virginias since the 6th of last June, was declared off, and that all the men were ordered to return to work on next Monday, The Norfolk & Western officials here have not yet been advised as to how the strike was settled, or what concessions, if any, were granted by either side. The fire which has been raging in the Baby Mine, at Pocahontas, since Monday night, is still burning. Items of I*t*reat< ’flathered 'F rom JViurphy to riauteo. • Republlcahs Nominate Hiss.

Hiss, of Charlotte, for Congress, by a rising At 2 o’clock Mr.. W, T. Jordan, of Gaston, provisional chairman, called the meeting to order and introduced Mr. A. A . Whitener, a young lawyer of Hickory, who delivered the address of welcome. The speaker said he was glad it was not now a crime for a man to change his politics, for if it were there would, not.. be sufficient Democratic sheriffs in the State" to attend the hangings made necessary by the mem­ bers of that party who had* recently changed to the Republicans. The reply was made by Mr. Chas. F. McKesson, of Burke, who said it was something new under the sun to see such an intel­ ligent ,body of Republicans meet in a Democratic stronghold like Hickory. The credentials coipmittee was then named,-after some hesitancy on the part of the delegates as to just what was the next thing in order. The com­ mittee consisted of the .^following nainedT Mitclielr. 'C. F. Blalock; Madi­ son, R. B. Sams; Yancey, W. B. Banks; Burke, E. N. Halliburton; Lincoln, J. F. DeLane; Gaston, T.M.

It developed that there was no one present from Mitchell, but Mr. Blalock, who had been in that county now and then in the capacity Of a rev­ enue officer, agreed to represent the Re­ publican stronghold. The permanent organization commit­ tee made D. C. Pearson, of Morganton, chairman, and Joseph H. Wilson, of Mecklenburg, secretary. The new pre- siding officer made a vigorous speech, congratulating the people of the State that the time had arrived when the principles of the Republican party could be brought to the people’s atten­ tion and decided on their merits. “The white men of North Carolina,” said he, “are freemen today, and no longer can the shibboleth of the negro be rung in are joining the Republican party, and thank God for it.” State News Notes. < •> Bennettsville comes' forward, with a new kind of industsy: The secre­ tary of state has beenJasked to com­ mission the Marlboro Frait company, which proposes “to raise fruit, vege­ tables and other farm products.

But if by trust we mean merely a. big corporation, then I ask you to ponder the utter folly of man who either in a spirit or rancor or in a spirit of folly says, ‘Destroy the trusts,’ without giving you an idea of what he means really to do. I will go with him if he says destroy the evil one—the trusts— gladly. (Applause.) I will try to find out that evil. (Much applause.) I will seek to apply reme­ dies, which I have already outlined in other speeches. But if his policy, from whatever motive, whether hatred, fear, panic or just sheer ignorance, is to- destroy the trusts in a way that will destroy all our prosperity, no. Those men who advocate wild and foolish remedies which would be worse than-the disease are doing all In their power to perpetuate the evils against which they nominally war, be­ cause if we are brought to face with the naked issue of either keeping or totally destroying a prosperity in which the majority share, but in which some share improperly, why as sensible men we must decide that it is a great deal better that some peo­ ple should prosper too much than that no one should prosper enough. So that the man who advocates de­ stroying the trusts by measures which would paralyze the industries of the country all is at best a quack and at worst an enemy of the republic. “Now it does not db anybody any good and it will do most of us 1 great deal of harm to take steps whii ■ will check any proper growth in corporation.

Mnny Innocent Manufacturers Wonld Suffer With the Few Offenders'—Trnly a Beckless and Destructive Policy— Non-Trust Concerns Would Qo Down. No method of dealing with the trust question that does not involve an at­ tack on tha tariff can hope to command the approval of the Democratic, free trade and mugwump Republican school of agitators. If these people can’t have the tariff smashed they don’t care about having the trusts smashed. The Bos­ ton Herald is one. among a large num­ ber of nnti-protection newspapers which frown upon any trust remedy except that of tariff ripping. It finds fault with President Itoofeevelfs con­ servatism in recommending .moderate and reasonable action In framing na­ tional lcprislation in restraint of trusts, and says: “There need be no adverse criticism on his reserve here, but we are inclined to suggest that there is one form of legislation, as applied to trusts, which, if enforced, would -be especially , modern ate and reasonable. It is that which removes protective duties under the tariff on articles that have gone into tfie control of trusts, ■tfith the'result' of t.be raising of their prices to the con­ sumers. Mr. Hoosevelt has been shy of taking this stand thus far, but *we don’t see how he can hold off from it after his late declaration. It is difficult to conceive of any milder way of deal­ ing with the trusts, so far as the gen­ eral business of the' nation is con­ cerned, than it here afforded.” On the contrary, it is difficult to con­ ceive of any more radical and revolu­ tionary way of dealing with the trusts than that which would undertake to differentiate between articles made by trusts and articles made by non-trust concerns. To accurately draw the line would be practically impossible. .Sup­ pose that a group of trust woolen mills are marketing a large line of miscella­ neous textiles, and that fifty woolen mills wholly outside the trust and each one operating independently are putting on the market a competitive line of similar fabrics. Shall the tariff duties on woolens be repealed in order to hit the trust mills? If so, what becomes of the independent mills? Are they not, though innocent, pun­ ished as severely as are tlio mills that have been guilty of merging into a trust? Exactly the same rule applies to every other line of production. There is not a single line that is exclusively monopolized by a trust—not. one. Therefore, we say. the adoption ot tariff repeal as a trust remedy, would be in the highest degree radical, ex­ treme. unfair and injurious. No such remedy will win with the American people. They are too fond of fair play. Going deeper into the question of tariff smashing as a trust remedy, the Pittsburg Press pertinently asks: wWho would determine what articles really have gone into the control of trusts? The President, in pursuance of a discretion to be conferred upon him. dr Congress itself? It does not seem, so far as the first alternative is concerned, that Congress would, be, willing to place the whole tariff sched­ ule in the manipulation of any one man. no matter how great his patriot­ ism. And. on the other hand, if Con­ gress were to determine each case as it rises, we should have a series of tariff fights covering nearly everything produced in the country. That would he an intolerable business disturbance. The tariff remedy is not the one that is wanted.” From every possible point of view the tariff smashing remedy is tinwor­ thy of acceptance. First, it would not necessarily smash the trusts, for they, with their larger financial resources, their concentration of forces and their economics of production, could better stand the shock than could the con­ cerns operating independently. The non-trust concerns would inevitably go down. They would be the first to suf­ fer the extreme penalty for an offense of which they are guiltless. If it is the guilty and not the innocent which the trust exterminators are after they will drop tariff smashing as a remedy B nbes In th e W ood I Cettingr Tired-of Democracy* A -campaign for ,free trade this year will complete the mischief which the free silver folly, began and drive the last merchants, manufacturers and bankers put of the Democratic or- TJhHization. There are tew —very few— of these men now in the Northern States who call themselves Democrats or even infrequently vote .the Democratic ticket. In the South' where the habit of years is stronger, many men of business still cling to the Democracy. Sut in personal conviction they are not ^ree silver men; they are gold men. They are not free-traders; they are pro­ tectionists. In other words they are nil, save in mere li.ibit. Republicans. They w:snt no tariff smashing. They are prosperous; they desire to remain so.

A rv F re iw re d to Shmpe JiIJ I u a e l F o r 1904. Senator Vest'is not ttfe only Demo­ crat who sees more of party danger than advantage in the election of a Democratic House next. fall. Mr. Vest argues that the Democratic majority in the House, with other branches of the Government in Bepubliean hands, could do nothing more than block the wheels, and merely obstructive tactics usually bring upon a party a serious weight of public odium. The judg­ ment of Senator Vest on this point, based on long experience in Congress, MTilt not be disputed. The Philadelphia Ledger, whose political position is that of the Cleveland Democrats, remarks on the same subject: “Far-seeing Dem­ ocrats will be very well pleased if the Republicans should remain in control of the House by a reduced majority, as they will then be wholly responsible for whatever may happen in the two years that will elapse before the next Presidential election.” Republicans are not afraid of that re­ sponsibility. They court it They have shaped national policies for forty years except during a brief period in Cleve­ land's second administration, when both branches of Congress were Dem­ ocratic. The Wilson-Gorman Tariff law was passed at that time, but both Cleveland and Wilsoa regarded it as a misshapen thing, and the country knows that it was a disastrous failure At all other periods since' 1861, when one party held the reins, it was a Re­ publican era, and to them must be cred­ ited the legislative achievements of more than a third of a century. From present appearances the Republican majority WiU be increased in the next House, and the obstructive tendencies of the Democratic party will be dis­ played by the minority, though without avail. The people do not see the WiS' dom of halting national legislation-for two years by electing a Democratic House aext November. — St. Louis Globe-Democrat. ------- The Hunt For an Issue* The Democrats are afraid to tackle the tariff question outright again. The memory of the dark days from 1893 tc 1S97, and of the mongrel measure which President Cleveland refused to sign and was afraid to veto, is still toe fresh in the. people’s minds. The state iitent issued after the caucus of House Democrats in Washington last Fridaj night, although designed to confuse voters on leading questions, makes tol­ erably clear the policy they have de­ cided on. They intend to attack the tariff from behind the trust and Cuban reciprocity breastworks. They know the people remember the Wilson-Gor- man law, but they hope they have for. gotten that the Democrats were de­ nouncing the tariff as the “mother ot trusts” before they enacted this meas­ ure. The scneme will not work. Tht country has not yet exculpated the Democracy for its disastrous anti-tarifl woi*k of the past The discredited party is in a crystal maze, and it will hink it has found its way out many * ts* yet before it finally gets out.— f *bwn Oity Journal. It ip So Easy to Forget. How soon we forget! There are people now crying for tariff reform and tariff changes and men who are saying “the tariff is the father of the trusts” who -did not assert anything of the kind or believe anything of the kind six months ago. - - It is surprising the number of Republicans who are saying that “the. tariff. is the parent of the trust.” But it must be remem­ bered that in lS92*a sufficient'-number of Republicans believed the same thing and voted it and elected Grover Cleve­ land President. There were thousands of Republican; free-traders In 1892 and the crop of free-traders is growing at the present tim£. The American peo­ ple must be educated on the tariff ques­ tion, by way of the soup house and rags, every eight or ten years, or else they forget their own prosperity and its source.—Des Moines Capital. > Earliest Case of Insanity.

MAN AND WIFE FlKED ON OFFICERS Aftjr Shootiits a Trespasser, Negro Resisted Arrest, Eut Was Finally Captured. New York, Special.—Jerry Hunter, the negro who shot a number of po­ licemen and set fire to his house, in Quoensborough, in an effort to escape, was captured Tuesday and locked up in the Asotna jail. In the .fight be­ tween Hunter and those who tried to arrest him eleven policemen, three cit­ izens and Hunter and his wife were in­ jured. Hunter’s wife, who was help­ ing her husband in his efforts’ to es­ cape, was taken to his house, where, it was said that she was in bad condi­ tion. Her husband was badly beaten in the struggle when he was caught. John McKenna, a patrolman, was shot in the head and face. Both his eyes were de­ stroyed and the wounds in his head are so serious that his recovery is doubtful. The injured were men who had been called upon by the police to aid in subduing Hunter. A list of the wounded follows: John O'Neill, New iffork, shot in the back and shoulder; Wm. Ordman, Corona, L. I., shot in the shoulder; Wm. Thorpe, printer, New York, buckshot wounds in face; John McKenna, police­ man, both, eyes -,shot out, Itps shot off, head filled with buckshot, wounds like­ ly fatal; Arthur Brill, policeman, one eye shot out, head, face and arms full of buckshot; Thos. Cassady, policeman, cut on head and shoulders by sabre wielded by Hunter’s wife; Police Cap­ tain Thos. Darch, slight gun-shot wound in ear; Police Sergeant Dowey, face filled with buckshot; Thos. Gro­ gan, policeman, shot in. the leg and head; Policeman Heally, shot in right leg; Thomas Rigney, policeman, shot in right leg and thigh; M. J. Ward, po­ liceman, shot in left leg; Josiah Hun­ ter, aged 70, negro; beaten about the head and face by policemen; wife of Hunter, shot in head, scalp wounds and body bruised while resisting'ar­ rest Hunter was employed as caretaker of a large tract of land near North Beach, L. I. Yesterday he saw a man digging sand worms on the property and he shot at the intruder, who ran away and told Policeman McKenna what Hunter had done. McKenna ran to Hunter’s home, and was shot by the negro. The police reserves were called out then and a siege was begun which lasted until after 2 o’clock this morn­ing. Every time a policeman moved from cover a shot would be fired. For­ tunately for the police Hunter is said to have had only a shot-gun. Shortly after 2 o’clock this morning Hunter set fire to the house and tried to escape. His wife carried an old cavalry sabre and with this she fought until over­ powered, inflicting severe wounds on Patrolman Cassidy. Hunter ran for a patch of woods near the house, but was caught and subdued after a severe struggle in which he was badly wound­ed. flount Pelee at Its Worst. Castries Island of St. Lucas, B. W. I., Special.—The zone of destruction of Saturday night’s eruption of Monte Pelee, island of Martinique, paralleled that which destroyed the town of St. Pierre in May last; but it spread some five miles eastward. The projection of destructive matter southward from Monte PeIee was almost identical with that of last May. The inhabi­ tants were removed from this area and also from the villages of Lorrain and Basse Pointe, at the base of Monte Pelee, after the May catastro­phe, but they were sent back by the government last week. The gendar­ merie of Martinique officially report that 1,060 persons were killed and 150 injured by the latest showers of fiery hail. Warships and steamers are tak­ ing the inhabitants from the coast villages, where people from inland places have also gathered for safety. Survivors who have reached Fort-de- France describe the eruption as be­ ing the most violent yet experienced. The detonations were heard at the Island of St. Kitts. The St. Vincent volcano, the Soufriere, was in eruption simultaneously. Awful ^etonatfons were heard along the southern islands of Trinidad. President Cannot Interfere.

Fdr play, gentlemen, 'fair play. Don't Siiy too much against a can didale you may have to support. Mr. Bahbriu did not vote tor the present odious tax law, voted against iu the committee, and was largely instrumental in destroying several obnoxious provisions that characterized the original bill. It is some satisfaction to know that the Iapraeutatives from Eorsytb Binutv are not responsible for that vicious legislation.— Winston Journal, Dcm. ‘■Vicious,” “Odious” and “ Ob- nasions,” applied to a Democratic hit by a Democratic paper is pret­ ty strong indeed. The legislature which passed this law was called ooc of the braincst the Btate has Irid for some years by some of our Demoeratie friends. If this brainy concern passed such odious and Tiiims laws, the people will do well to avoid Democratic brains lliis year. Such brainy men as JobuS. Henderson, jas. D. Glenn, O wl Morrison, B. F. Aycock and Siducy B. Alexander were there aud helpad the good work along, and some of them are again before the people to ask for au endorse­ ment of their vicious and .odious York in the last session, and one Yauts to be a U. S. Senator, and Ye presume the Journal will help them go back again, but will the PenPlet Not much if they are uiudful of their best interests. MR. HENDERSON’S SPEEGH IN NEED OE REVISION. To the Editor of The Observer: InasmiiLh as 10,000 copies of Mr. Henderson’s speech at Li 11 - col nton are said to have been or­ dered by Mr. Simmou’s committee for circn'ation in this campaign would it not be well for the wor­ thy gentleman, for whom this writer entertains a sincere regard, to revise his speech as printed in The Observer, aud especially to re­ vise his figures? Astirst printed he shows by official figures that all the great cereal crops from which come our bread and meat were lower nnder Republican thau un­ der Democratic tariffs an admin­ istrations—a fine argnmeut lor his farmer audience, which I do not dispute. His second point that the price of living is greatly in­ creased to . the wage-earncr and. consumer under the Republican tariff may also be true; but it is absolutely impossible inthe very nature of things that both propo­ sitions can be true. Let him mend his rent before he finally comes out. A FRJEND. There is no use to revise any­ thing so contradicting as the above. The average Democrat swallows such inconsistencies as that with out a woid, just so it is branded Democracy. The masses have beeu fed on such rot as that for a quarter of a century and Uutil they throw off the yoke, there is no need to feed them logic or bare­ faced facts, for they don’t need it in their business. ' The people are getting too intelligent to longer swallow everything given out by the Machine. Experi ence is a dear teacher and the people learned a great deal under Mr. Cleveland’s administration which they will not -oou forget. The man who says this country is not prosperous is too blind and ignorant to be listen­ ed to, and it would be hard for him to find many to listen to his calamity wail. The man who can't find work is not on the hunt for it, aud does not want to work. The times demand men who have caught on to the tide which has set in toward us, and who will pull with the tide and not against it. Obstructionists are not needed, at this time, but workers and push ers. “There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at its flood, leads on to fortune.” The Good is on, will the people tie lead against it by Democratic obstruc­ tionists I We will see.

MAKES AN APPROPRIATE SPEECH, Expresses Bis Delight at Viewing the Magnificent Scenery TRIP MADE WITHOUT ACCIDENT. Nation’s Cbief Hagistrate Treated to a Specimen of Genuine Southern Hospitality. i Asheville, N. C., Special.—The Queen City of the Mountains is in­ deed the.most favored of cities, for thrice has she had the honor of enter­ taining the Chief Magistrate of the na­ tion. In other days President Cleve­ land was the guest of the city, later the martyred McKinley spent several hours here and Tuesday afternoon Asheville has had the equal and cum­ ulative honor of having as her guest President Theodore Eoosevelt. It was very near 9 o’clock when the pilot engine drew into the station at Asheville, which was in the nature of an official notice that the special train bearing the President was only a few minutes behind. By this time a large crowd had assembled at the station, and it was well that the Asheville Light Infantry, the Blue Ridge Hides, the mounted police and the marshals were there, for every few minutes a group of people, growing restless, would press to the front. Only mem­ bers of the committees were allowed on the front or railroad side of the station. It was at this time that the first incident of an exciting nature oc­ curred. A couple of live trolley wires got crossed over the street, which was filled with people. There was a sput­ tering sound and sparks streaked the air for a few moments. Horses plung­ ed and people fell back, but no harm was done. The procession to the heart of the city was a long one, made up of all clases of citizens and containing many prominent men. -The address of wel­ come was made by Hon. H. A. Gudger. The speech introducing the President was made by Mr. MeNamee. It was • short, but feeling and pointed. The President said: “Mr Chairman, Mr. Gudger, and you my fellow-Ameri- cans: It is indeed a pleasure'to have the chance of saying a word of greet­ ing to you this morning, to speak here Sn the midst of your beautiful country of western North Carolina, in this beautiful city in front of the monument raised to Senator Vance (applause) and to be addressing people whose forefath­ ers have borne a distinguished part in every great military or civic struggle through which this country has come. (Applause.) It was not far from here as we measure distance in- America that the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence was formulated. (Ap­ plause.) The gentleman who introduced me spoke of the great deeds of the men who in the Revolutionary war followed Marion and McDowell. My forefathers fought under Marion, my forefathers fought with Georgia and South Caro­ lina troops who battled throughout dark days, when Cornwallis and the Red Dragoons of Tarleton-overran the Southern States. They were present at King’s Mountain, at the Cowpens, and they saw the final triumph when the men in blue and buff, who followed Greene and wrested victory out of de­ feat and when at last the flag of the 13 Colonies waved without a rival along the coast and foothills of the moun­ tains. It has been a great and peculiar I pleaSure to be greeted as I was today Sy the men who served in the Confed­ erate army. Yesterday and today I traveled through a region which sent its sons, some to wear the blue, some to wear the grey, all to serve with cour­ age and self-devotion to the right as it was given them to see. I feel that the man would be but a poor American who did not come from the scenes com­ memorating the gallant deeds of those armies a better American than when be started. While I was there a dele­ gation of young men from the State of Georgia came to present me a cane cut from the battlefield with the names of three Union and three Confederate generals on it. One of the Union gen­ erals, General Boyton, was showing me around the field. One Confederate general, General Joe Wheeler, had been my chief In the Spanish war. (Ap­ plause.) Yesterday we stopped at a lit­ tle station in Tennessee and among those who gathered to greet me was an old fellow who had worn the gray. He said: ‘I was one of Wheeler’s boys.’ I said, ‘So was I/ (Laughter and ap­ plause.) ALL AMERICANS. “It is a good thing for an American President to have the chance to travel through the different sections of the country, because it is a mighty good thing for any American to meet his fel- Iow-Americans at different parts Of the country in order that he many realize how trivial are the points of unlikeness and how essential are the points of likeness. (Applause.) A good American is a good American, and don’t care a snap of my finger whether he comes from the North or the South, or the Bast or the West. If he is straight and decent man I am for him, and if he is not, I am not. (Applause.) “Oh, my friends, the lesson of broth­ erhood, the lesson that is taught by such a greeting as I am receiving at this moment, the lesson that is taught whenever you see valiant and true men who wore the blue meet valiant and true men W hff wore the grey and shake hands with them, that lesson applies through all our national life, and it ap­plies just as much in forming a judg­ ment between class and class as be­tween section and section. We never can succeed in making this country ■ what it can and shall be made until we work together, not primarily, as North­ erners or Southerners, Easterners or Westerners, not primarily as employe or employer, townsmen orcountrymen, capitalists or wage-workers, but pri­ marily as American citizens, (ap­ plause), to whom the right of brother­ ly friendship and comradeship with all other decent American citizens comes as the first and greatest of privileges. We need good laws, we need honest and upright administration of the laws, but we need as the fundamental pre­ requisite for good government, a high average standard of citizenship in the men who make the Iaw fS and stand back of them. (Applause.) The best law by itself will not bring good citizen­ ship. A bad law will do * incalculable harm and no great damage can be done to any community than mal-adminis- tration, dishonest or unfair adminis­ tration of laws. A law badly adminis­tered can do great harm, and often most harm to those who at any given moment may think that it is to their inte.rest to have the law violated or to have it put upon the statute books. Bad laws can do harm. Good laws can do a measure of good, but it is the man behind the law who will ultimately by the way in which he performs his du­ ties determine whether this country is to go up or down. (Applause.) CHARACTER COUNTS. “Character is what counts. The men here who fought in the Union army, the men who fought in the Confederate army, let them look back. What did they care for most in the men who were their comrades, who fought on their right hand in time of action? It ivas not to the man’s antecendents, it was not as to whether he was rich or poor or what his social position had been, it was to know whether when the' time of crisis came he would stay (Laughter and applause.) If the need came to go forward you wanted to be sure when he moved that he would move In the right direction. You want­ ed to know that you could count on his being there as a good friend and not as a.foe to look out for. You WEtntcd to have him devoted to HiS cOufitry, ue- voted to his flag, loyal to his regiment, but I don’t care how fine his feelings Were, if he ran away he was no. good. (Laughter.) It is so In civil life, for if a citizen is to be worth his salt ha needs character, and into character many eiemehts enter, If fi mail is not decent, theft the abler he is the mora dangerous he is to the Community. In the Revolutionary war One of the brav* est and most briUiaftt soldiers during the early Veats of the contest ivas the mah who has left his name as a by­ word of infamy to the nations for ail time; the man who fought with dis­tinguished gallantry in Cariadd, tiie man who led all the American forces in the great battie of Baratoga afid left big leg oh the fibld of victory. That man with all his courage, all his dar­ ing, all his superb military, genii's, turned because the root of righteous­ ness was not in him, sought to betray his comrades for money and left the name of Benedict Arnold as a hissing forever more.“The civil life the danger is not so patent, but it is just as great if ability is DOt accompanied by a rightful sense of accountability to the moral law. In addition to honesty and decency, you must have courage. I want to see every one a good man, and In addition to that I want to See him ft man. We must have the manly virtues deeply imbed­ ded as part Of Our national character­ istics if we are to do our wOrk aright in peace or in war, Ilut honesty and courage together are not enough. I care not how brave and how honest a man is if he was born foolish you can do but little with him. (Laughter and applause.) We need courage, and we need in addition the saving grace of common sense. There is no patent de­ vice by which we can make this coun­ try prosper and there is no patent de­ vice by which we can make the aver­ age citizen a credit to the country; make him hold higher the standard cf good government. The average citizen must make himself a worthy citizen of the republic. The average citizen must realize that it is upon his Shoulders that the entire government structure rests. We get In the habit of speaking of the government as though it was something apart from us. Now the gov­ ernment is us, we are the g jvernment, you and I. (Applause.) And the gov- erment is going to do well or ill ac­ cordingly as we, with sanity, with res­ olution, with broad charity and sound common sense, make up our minds how the affairs of the government shall be managed. No man can take the burden of government off the shoul­ ders of a people fitted for self-govern­ ment. No man can make it easy for the people to govern themselveB. They have got to determine for themselves what the government shall be and in tiie long run the government will repre­ sent their wishes, their wishes for good or their wishes for evil or el3f) they are indifferent to good Or evil, (Applause.) And so my plea to you, my fellow-Ameircans, as to every citzen in every section of the country, is, re­member that in this county, no IaW or leadership, can possibly tako the place of the exercise by the average citizen of the fundamental virtues oI good citizenship, the exercise of the fundamental qualities of honesty, cour­age and commonsense.” THE PRESIDENT AT HICKORY. Hickory, N. C., Special.—Hickory was among the President’s stops in North Carolina. Mr. Roosevelt was. given a great ovation here by 2,009 citizens of all political factions, who had gathered at the station to wet come his arrival at 5 o’clock, which was some few hours later than the schedule time. However, the crowd waited patiently. Among the Presi­ dent’s eseorts'were Senator Pritchard, Hon. E. Spencer Blackburn and Gso. B. Hiss, the Republican nominee in the ninth congressional district. Mr. Roosevelt’s speech of some ten minutes in duration was very compli­ mentary to tho South and the section of North Carolina and Tennessee through which he had just passed. The greater part of his speech was in reference to the great industrial growth of tho South and her rapid progress and natural resources which have been so rapidly developed with­ in the 'last few years. He said hard times didn’t effect us by sections or State lines, but extended over our whole country alike, and that every­ body felt the good limes some time. Three Reported Drowned. Washington, .

ON A FIRE-SPOUTING VOLCANO Toii|;ii Experienees of a Seientlst on Famous Mount PeIee- Fort-de-France, Island of Martinique, By Cable.—Professor Angelo Heilprin, president of the Philadelphia Geologi­ cal Society, who is in Martinique in the interest of the National Geographical Society, bfls made the following report of the' recent eruption of Mont Pelee: “The scene of destruction in the last eruption of Mont Pelee far surpasses in extent- that of the eruption of May 8, when St. Pierre was destroyed; and includes the broad area IjiIiig between Macouba and Carbet and involves Haute Tours, DeDouiden, Basse Pointe, Morne Balai and Ajoupa Bouillod, where alone upwards of 300 persons were killed, as well as Morne Rouge, with a death list of probably not less than 1,100 persons. Great cinders fell also over the region of Grand Riviere, and Precheur is covered deep with ashes. In Carbet the ashes lie one foot deep and nearly the same amount over- the ruins of St. Pierre. AU of Morne Rough, with the exception of four houses and the beautiful church, has been swept to the ground and the greater part of the town has been hurtled up, At Ajouha Bouillon, where one-haif of the town has been pros­ trated, there is no trace Of fire of any kind.- “The destructive blast, instead of confining itself to a section or area during the first eruption,-whs distrib­ uted radically, crossing the low sum­ mit Of the volcano near the Knob of Monroe Jacob and. skipping scenes be­ tween its rays. The danger from Mont Pelee is thus materially increased, and perhaps no position in the north of the island is absolutely safe. The govern­ ment has judiciously ordered that evac­ uation Of all points reached by a ra­ dius of about 8 Sr Ifl miles from the Cratbi*: “The recent phenomena Were precise­ ly like those of May 8, the deaths in most cases being from contact with the terribly swift and hot blast which burnt afid which suffocated. The sulphur emittod from the crater during the re­ cent eruption was comparatively in­ significant, although it densely per­ meated the atmosphereic cloud which fell over Prechuer. The electrical il­ luminations during the . storm were wonderful, and greatly surpassed those of July 9th. There was no barometric disturbance to indicate ft coming erup­ tion. “During the time I was oii the vol­ cano on the afternoon of the eruption, Mone Pelee was in terrible activity and refuge from flying bombs had to be sought in a hole. The great cone could not be seefl: Ofl the way down the mountain the party was eriVeloped in ashes and mud, the center of the asii and steam clouds being almost vertical­ ly over us. The destruction of the sey eral towns and localities were simul­ taneous, occurring at ten minutes past 9 o'clock in the evening. There W much uneasiness all over the island of Martinique, and this is intensified by the knowledge that LaSoufriere,*on the Island of St. Vincent, is again in full activity. “The illustration of the eruption on St. Vincent as seen from here the night of the Wednesday, was most terrifying and on Thursday morning, the ash cloud from the St. Vincent volcano car­ ried darkness to Fort-de-France for a period of nearly six hours. No details Of the casualties on St, Vincent have as yet been received here.” Merimac’s Inventor Dead, Newport News, Va., Special.—Wil­ son Guy, who supervised the construc­ tion of the Confederate ram Merrlmac. died at his home in Hampton, aged 71 years.

Oil Fields oil Fife. Beaumont, Texas,_ Special:—The oil fields is oh fire and judging by the great volume of smoke which is flow­ ing in from Spindle Top there is grave danger that great loss will be sustain­ ed, if the field is not destroyed. The fire started early In the evening in some waste along the side df the rail­ road tracks and burned about 60 feet of trestle. This was gotten under con trol and it was believed all danger had passed but In some way the fire has been communicated to a number of tanks containing thousands of barrels of petroleum and have exploded and others are reported as being In direct line Of the fire which has Spread over a wide area already. The ground is sat­ urated with oil, and there is no Chftflce for stopping the progress of the flames. The fire is spreading rapidly and it is believed the whole field will be ignited before daylight.

TUe Wars Aro Over aad lrorcifrn Comoe. titloa is IilIseiy to Beeome Mo re Severe —Hence tho Ifeed of Ample Protection to Assure HoiUe Trade. Senator Cullom is old enough in na­ tional politics and legislation to have acquired wisdom, prudence and con* servatism. He showed none of these qualities when he committed himself in favor of the ratification of the mis­ chievous Kasson treaties. He shows none of them now when he says: ■'What we want to do now is to in­ quire carefully into the whole subject of Dingley schedules and determine just what rates should he cut and to what extent. I don’t know how soon we shall have to take up this tremen­ dous task in Congress, but I do know that we shall have to do it before a great while.” Wrong regarding the Kassoti trealies, which are dead beyond hope of resur­ rection, the. Illinois Senator is doubly wrong, pitifully wrong in his scheme of wholesale tariff ripping. Is it possi­ ble that he does not know the Certain consequences tiiat Would follow the carrying out of his program? Does he hot realize that the mere declaration by Congress of the intention to tear open the tariff rates would inflict a shock upon all business? No need to wait for the actual ripping process. AU trade, all commerce, all industry would instantly suffer a halt and a set­ back once the Culloin plan of whole­ sale tariff revision were adopted, once it should be decided “to inquire care­ fully into the whole subject of the Dingley schedules and determine just what rates should be cut and to what extent.” It is hard to believe that this Repub­ lican Senator has thought out his tariff tearing project to its logical and inev­ itable conclusion. His proposition is explicable only on the theory that it is bom of midsummer foolishness. Just now the business of the country is returning to a normal level after more than three years of abnormal con­ ditions. It must not be forgotten that close following upon the swift lmpfllse to activity given by the passage of tho Dingley tariff law came a succession of wars aiid disturbances in various parts of the. world, all of them tending to stimulate the demand for the indus­ trial and agricultural products of the United States. Those exceptional con­ ditions no longer exist. Peace prevails practically throughout the entire world, Trade and business are settling bac-k upon an even keel. Keener competi­ tion, lower values and a lessened de­ mand for the products of this country may be expected. If in some lines of production tariff protection has not been greatly needed under the excep­ tional world conditions of the past three years it would be unwise and un­ safe to conclude that, when these con­ ditions revert back to the normal tariff protection will be no longer needed in these same lines. On the contrary, it is likely to be very much needed in or­ der that the market which now con­ sumes ninety-seven per cent, of oms production may not pass out of the control of our own producers. In the Identical places where tariff protection was yesterday of minor consequence in the great rush of abnormal demand it may be of vital consequence to-mor­ row when the abnormal shall have given place to the normal:: This is no time to fool with the tariff. It is the worst possible time for idiotic follies of the Cullom kind. Det the tariff alone! THE PLAN OF C a MPAICN: lUr. Babcock Wisely Becldes to Let tlis Tariff Aloce. The remarks of Chairman Babcock, of the RfelJUblican Congressional Cam­ paign Committee, furnish S reassuring indication that no serious demand will come from the Republieaus of the West for tariff tinkering or any hasty and ill-considered tampering with the country’s healthy commercial State. “Keep on letting Weil enough alone” Is the motto of the party that the peo­ ple are certain to indorse, Sud sir. Babcock acts WiSeiJ- In adopting it, He Is to DO Congratulated for modifying his opinions held a year ago. His ar­ gument then for alterations 111 tho tariff was sustained with sincerity and ability. But it was based 011 false premises and he has done well to rec­ ognize the prosperity of the country and the content of the people, Who asU nothing better than a continuance of the policies that have profited them so greatly, He sees plainly that the Democratic party is sick of its unpatriotic Philip­ pine issue, and will bury it as far out Of sight BS possible: Stili controlled by Ihe peptliistic -leaders and wedded to Ihe silver heresy, that, too, will be sunk as deep as possible in the East­ ern States. Tlie Democrats will put their trust in anti-trust and anti-tariff talk, and Chairman Babcock expresses Ihe feeling of all Republicans in wel­ coming that issue. These words sound Ihe keynote of the campaign: “The only Bilti-trnst legislation on ihe statute books was enacted by the Republican party in Congress. The Democrats have no record. The tariff is an issue we gladly espouse. With everybody at work, - everybody wiib money and clothes and food, and enough money left over to have some kind of a good time on; with prosperity an every hand, the resuit of Republi­ can policies, wc are not afraid to ask Ihe country to continue the Republi­ can party in power iu order that these policies may be conlinued iu effect.” It is on this platform that the Re­ publicans will face the country, 'with lines unbroken by any dissension. There will be no forcing of one issue in Dne State and one in another for the sake of vote catching, as the Demo­ crats praise the army and preach free Silver in Kansas while dnmniiig both in Massachusetts. The country’s pro­ gress, support of its defenders, and for all the people peace and plenty assured by “keeping on letting well enough alone,” is the doctrine for every com­ munity in the land.—New York Mail and Express. NORTH CAROLINA CROPS Condition For Past W eek Reported Bjt Correspondents, Ereqiieilt showers occurred during the past week, Chiefly ofi'the 3d And 4th which gave fairly abundant maount of moisture along the northern tier of counties, but were very irregularly dis­ tributed over the central and southern portions of the State. The droughty character of the season has not mater­ ially changed, and crops continue to suffer from lack of sufficient moisture over many counties. Whefe showers occurred iatfe crops were revived to some extent, and field peas, turnips and clover were benefited. The mean tem­ perature was above noraml except on the 5th and 6th which were quite cool. Farm work progress rapidly, but fall plowing is much behind on account of the refractory condition of the soil. Streams are very low and water for stock is scarce in some places. Cotton has not improved and will : far short of an average crop; the bolls have completed their growth and are opening very fast. Some prema­ turely on account of rust which is very widespread, Picking cotton is flow general and is advancing mbro rapidly. Late planted eottbn is stiii grfeefl and will give a Smaii top crop. Corn is practically made, and is a very good crop- on- bottom lands, though short on uplands; much corn has already been ut and placed in shocks. Fodder pulling is nearly finished. Making sorghum syrup has begun. Tobacco is all cured except in the larger producing Counties in the north from Granville to Surry where the work is still ill pro­ gress with good resuits. Minor crops Ure fair to good and Cafl hardly be fur­ ther influenced by weather conditions. Scuppernong grapes are ripening. Strawberry plants are suffering from the dry weather.

A d- \D ynn, Mass.. , . . • Not; Wanted. Out from the obscurity into which an, unappreciative people plunged him at the close of his single term as United States Senator from Wisconsin, Mr. William F. Vilas bobs up to proclaim that the only “permanent PeriTs to American institutions lies in the main­ tenance of a protective tariff, and to the overthrow of this giant the Demo­ cratic party should ndw address itself solely and exclusively. Will the Dem­ ocratic party do it? Probably not. Its leaders know a thing or two which Mr. Vilas has forgotten, if, indeed, he ever knew. They know that to attack pro­ tection as a “paramount peril” with the openly avowed purpose of substi­ tuting free trade would be to butt their heads against a stone wall, which would be bad for their Beads and would not disturb the wall. So they will assail protection by pretext and subterfuge, using the false plea that its removal is the only antidote for trust eviis. Mr. Vilas is not wanted by his party. He may as well go to sleep again. A Novel House. . One of the most novel houses ever b: :lt was shaped in the form of an elephant.

Editor Fred Merritt, of the Citizen, Moiiday afternodh pub­ lished the following; The Roxboro Courier says that a Northern paper prints a sensational story to the effect that the financee of Congressman E.

If that is true theft there'll be no wed­ ding unless the “Drummer Boy chooses another UridSiij When Editor Merritt entered the lob­ by of the hotel Congressman Black­ burn, who had for hours been on the lookout for the object of his anger, made a lunge at him. The assault on Merritt was probably unexpected for by-standers say that the Congressman Struck him several blows in the face before he began to retaliate in kind. A Scene of wild confusion followed. Many ladies ran from the lobby, while men rushed forward to stop Blackburn. One of tho Qrst to take hold of him was an Alabama gentleman in evening clothes. He had scarcely touched the infuriated Congressman before he was knocked down by H. C. Cowles, of Statesville. Senator Pritchard also step­ ped forward and made it known that no one must interfere with Black­ burn while he. was resenting an insult not only to Blackburn himself but to the Congressman’s intended bride. Four Men Shot. Osceola, Ark., Special.—Two men fatally and two seriously wounded is the net result of a fight between white men and a negro on a passenger train Sunday. Baldy Taylor, a negro, board­ ed the train and walked into the coach for white passengers, saying he pro­ posed to find seats . for two negro women. He was told by a passenger that he was in the wrong car. Taylor then drew a revolver and began firing indiscriminately. H. 6 . Fisher, of Rosa, is badly hurt; E. R. Hume, also of Rosa, was mortally wounded by a bul­ let from the negro's pistol. E. W. Sutte was seriously ,wounded. Hume fired upon the negro, the ball striking him in the breast. His wound is not se­ rious. Safe Blowers.

Yes, the attendance at the Cool- eemee speaking was slim, and the Bepnblicans are not going to lie about it either.

After using one box of Ramon’s Liver Pills and Tonic Pellets I was restored to perfect health,” They are for ev­ eryone. Even the most delicate person may use them with benefi­ cial result. The Democratic plan is to abuse a Democrat who leaves the party, and call them renegades. While the Bepnblicans do and feel like the good Methodist and Baptist brethren at their revivals, rejoice when the sinners turn from their evil ways, and come over on the side of righteousness, etc. WANTED—We could give em­ ployment to a great many teams hauling Lumber from our mills in Iredell to Mocksville.

This little “ Faw­ cett,” through which the slime and dirt from the HOLE IN THE WALL is vented, has “busted again,” aud the HOLE IN THE WALL needs another cleansing. Soniepeople say we area gen­ tleman, and give us credit for a few brains, but this modem dis­ coverer explodes all theories hu »ri or Divine and we are left feh and dry without a hope.

I want to suggest to the Bepnblicans Of this district that we take such steps as necessary to secure the candidacy of some good Republican for Con­ gress fron this (the 7th) district. And in.looking around for a can­ didate I wish to call the attention of your readers to a son of Davie who is eminently fitted to bear the republican bauner in this contest. And one whom if nominated will make it interesting for Mr. Page. I refer to the Hon. Edwin H. Mor­ ris. He is a tried and true repub­ lican, a good lawyer and a . man worthy of the highest honor that we may bestow upon him. Davie K epuplican . Weappreciate the compliment paid us in the above article from the Randolph Argus. It’s an hon­ or of which any man should be proud. We have not been in late years an aspirant for honors of this kind, for the reason that our financial condition prevented our making the canvass for any Elec- ive office. The Republicans in con vention at Lexington Aug. 27th thought best not to pnt out a can­ didate at least at that time, and we acquiesced in their action, hop­ ing that future devel opments might show the wisdom. of their course. We are in no sense a can­ didate today, for we are aware that there are others more worthy, competent, and better fitted for making the race than we, and should it be deemed wise to put a man out later on, we will cheer­ fully support him We think that the Republicans of this District should have a man to vote for, on the 4th of November who stands squarely on the Republican plat­ form, and one who would vote for Republican measures were he elect­ ed. This, Mr. Page says he will not do. We can consistently sup­ port Independent Democrats for County and State offices, but we Ciinnot support a man who stands for 16 to I, and other national Democratic issues. REPUBLICANISM AND DEMO CRACY IN ANTITHESIS. BY JAMES J. BRITT. The contrast between republi­ cans and democracy is as marked as the difference between light and and shadow; between progress and and retrogress; between hope and dispair. The one is the prophet of prosperity and happiness; the other of want and gloom. Republicanism finds investment for capital, employment for labor and a market for every product of industry; demo­ cracy cloisters capital, fills the highways with unemployed, and destroys the marts of trade. ' Republicanism raises armies builds navies and equips both for the emergencies of war; democracy stands for an insuffi­ cient army, a make shift navy, and for little equipment for either. Republicanism pays, protects, defends and extols the valor of onr soldiers iu the Orient; democracy calls them mercenaries, butcheis, and the inferiors of heathen Bolo- men. Republicanism wonld expand the nation and plant its flag wher­ ever fieedom needs a champion or religion an altar; democracy stands for isolation and a dinial of the doctrine of the brotherhood of mankind. Republicanism would build a mer­ chant marine by which' America would become the commercial mas­ ter of the world; democracy would leave us a helpless dependent at tho feet of foreign ship owners. Republicanism favors protection and the building of factories and and mills; democracy stands for free-trade and the fostering of soup houses and Coxey armies. Republicanism stands for hon­ est money aud the chance to earn it; democracy stands for an im­ paired currency aud unsteady em­ ployment. Republicanism produces Lin. coins and Blaines and McKinley’s and Roosevelts; democracy pro­ duces Joneses and Carmacks and Tillmans and Bryans. Republicanism puts on the robe of peace and appeals to human -t-ason; democracy dons the red- shirt and appeals to human pas sion. Repuplicanisra tries argument; in sections of the South, democra­ cy tries the 'Winchester. Republicanism would plant hope in the bosom of every youth in the Republic and span his fu­ ture with a bow of promise; demo­ cracy would put a skeleton in ev­ ery closet and fill the future with dark forebodings. Republicanism stands for the attainment of man’s highest possi­ bilities; democracy stands as a for­ midable barrier to his onward ard progress. L o w P r i c e s i n J o b P r i n t i n g !

TYPHOID WIDELY SCATTEREDSOUTHERN INDUSTRIALMANY WERE KILLED B i B- r Frightful Panic at Close of Negro Convention. 78 WERE KILLED; MANY INJURED. Stampede Begun When a Lawyer Started a Fight With tlie Leader of the Choir. Birmingham, Ala., Special.—In an awful crush of humanity caused Iiy a stampede in the Shailoh colored Bap­ tist church Avenuo G. and Eighteenth street, sixty-five persons were killed and as many more seriously injured. The disaster occurred at 9 o'clock just a3 Booker T. Washington had con­ cluded his address to the National Convention of Baptists and for three hours the scenes around the . church were indescribable. Dead bodies were strewn in every direction and the am­bulance service was not equal to the task. The injured were first attended to and dozens of dead bodies were ar­ ranged in rows outside the house of worship, awaiting removal to the va­ rious undertaking establishments, while more than a score were laid out on the benches inside. The church is the large house of worship for negroes in Birmingham, and the pastor says there were at least 2,000 persons In the edifice when the stampede began. Instructions had been issued to al­ low no one else to enter after the building had been filled, but the ne­ groes forced their way inside the church and were standing in every aisle. The entrance was.literally pack­ ed. Just after Booker Washington con­ cluded his address, Judge Dillon, a negro lawyer from Baltimore, engaged in an altercation with the choir leader concerning an unoccupied seat and it. is said blows were struck. Some one in the choir cried, “They’re fighting.” Mistaking the word “fighting” for "fire,” the congregation rose en masse and started for the door. One of the ministers mounted the rostrum and ad­ monished the people to keep Quiet. He repeated the word “quiet” several times and motioned to his hearers to be seated. Again the excited congre­ gation mistook the word “quiet” for a second alarm of “fire” and rushed for tlie door. Hen and women crawled ever benches and fought their way through aisles like cattle. The min­isters tried again to stop the stam­ pede, but no power on earth could stay the struggling, fighting mass of humanity. A Crowded Death Trap. The screams of the women and children added to the terror of. the scene and many persons fainted and v» ent to the floor to be crushed. Brick walls extend on both sides of the out­ side steps and this proved a veritable death trap. Negroes who had reached the top of the steps were pushed vio­ lently forward and many fell. Before they could move others fell upon them and in a few moments persons were piled upon each other to a height of ten feet. This wall of struggling hu­ manity blocked the entrance and the weight of 1,500 persons was pushing against it. More than 20 persons fell on the steps and were killed. White men, who were in the rear of the church, escaped. Moving the Dead Bodies. The fire department answered a call quickly and the patrol scattered ths crowds which had gathered around the church. The dead bodies were quickly moved and the crowd outside, finding Rn outlet, came pouring out. Scores of them lost their footing and rolled down the long steps to the pavement* sustaining broken limbs and internal injuries. In just an hour the church has been practically cleared and' the sight whieh greeted those who had access to the building was most hor­ rible. Men and women were strewn around and the cries of the wounded were heartrending. In a few minutes the work of removing bodies was be­ gun and the wails of the relatives of the dead who had waited on the out* side could . be heard for several blocks. The Church Turned Into a Morgue. The Shiloh church was turned into a morgue and all the physicians in the city went to the assistance of the in­ jured. At least 15 of those brought out injured died before they could be moved from the ground. None of those in the choir or in the pulpit were in­ jured in the least. For a few minutes they attempted to restore order, but finding their efforts were futile, they waited until the struggling crowd had advanced far enough for them to pick ther way out. A remarkable feature of the calamity is that no blood was seen. The victims were crushed, or died from suffocation. AU Died in or About the Entrance. Tlie Rev. Dr. T. W. Walker, pastor of Shiloh church, said: “Shiloh church is a modern brick structure and has been completed at a cost of $75,000. There are four entrances to the build­ ing and the main one is 16 feet wide. The deaths were caused by every­ body trying to rush out of the main entrance at the same time. Inside the church not a bench was overturned and all of those who were killed died In or about the entrance. The people up near the front of the church were not Injured.” Mayor Drennen said: “Most of those who were killed were strangers but their bodies will be cared for until identified and claimed by relatives.” Booker Washington’s Account Of it. Booker T. Washington, when seen after the accident at the resident of U. G. Mason, said: “I had just finish*, ed delivering my lecture on "Indus­ try,” and the singing had commenced when some woman back of me was heard to scream. A member of the choir yelled 'quiet! ’ which the gallery understood to be ‘Fire!’ This was re­ peated and started the stampede. I found on investigation that a Bir­ mingham man had stepped on the toes of a delegate from Baltimore named Ballou. Ballou resented it and made a motion as if to draw a gun. This caused the woman to scream. There was little excitement in the centre and front of the church. The rear of the church was congested and some men tried to walk out on the heads o fthe crowd. At the time there was probably 3,000 people in tlio church and fully that number with* out The crowd on the sidewalk surged In and that, in a measure)'accounted for the Jarge loss of life. The majority of those killed were smothered to death, very few having bones broken. When I«saw that a stampede was im­ minent I started the choir singing and. vnrt of the audience joine'tl them. I retnsined until the excitement had subsided for fully 30 minutes. One good sister, whose name I could not. learn, caught me firmly by the waist and held me throughout the excite­ment saying, ‘Keep still/ I am unable; to say positively, but-there is a prob­ ability that the convention will ad* journ out of respect to the dead.” MILL SUPERINTENDENT SBOT Attrocious Murder By Father of Ua. ruly Employe. Laurinburg, Special—The serenity of our. town was. disturbed Friday by the news of an atrocious murder at the Richmond County Mill, four miles west OfiOiis town, in Whicil Mr. Chas. Ldckemy, superintendent of the mill, lost his life. It-seems tbat one Norris Saunders ,a middle-aged man, had a son working in the mill. The boy was not doing his work in a satisfactory manner and the superintendent under­ took to remonstrate with him. The boy became rebellious and unpleasant, and was ordered home. iSome time after­ wards, Norris Saunders, the boy’s fa­ ther; came to the mill to interview the superintendent concerning the matter and the trouble began. Saunders at­ tempted to use Ws knife on Lockemy when the latter defended himself with a stick. Saunders went home and shortly afterward returned with a pis­ tol, and walking up to the superinten­ dent shot him through the bowels. Drs. Bverington and John were summoned and remained with the wounded man the greater part of the night and did what they could to alleviate his suf­ fering. Lockemy died today at 11 o’clock and Saunders is here in jail. It looks as if Saunders will have a close shave if he escapes the gallows. Supt. Joyner W rites. Raleigh, Special.—The following eor- resnondence has been made public: “Raleigh, N. C., Sept.’15, 1902. “Hon. J. Y..Joyner, Raleigh, N. C.: ‘Dear Sir: It is ciistomery for thecandidates upon the State ticket, other than candidates for judicial honors, to address the people during the cam­ paign Tipon matters pertaining to the office for which they are a candidate. If it is your purpose to canvass the State, I would he glad to malce ap­ pointments for you. I don’t know whether you will care to enter into a general political discussion or confine 3’ourself to the discussion of matters connected with the educational inter­ est of the State. However that may be, I am sure the people will gladly hear you. Yours very truly, “F. M. SIMMONS, “Chairman.” , “Raleigh, N. C., Sept. 17,1902. Hon. F. M. Simmons, Raleigh, N. C.: “Pear Sir: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of recent date and to thanlr you for the courtesy of your invitation to take part in the cam­ paign. "In accepting the appointment from the Governor to the office of State Su­ perintendent of Public Instruction and the unanimous nomination of the Dem­ ocratic party for the same office, my one ambition and purpose was for the advancement of education. I would have no man misled as to my personal political views. I am a Democrat, be­ lieving strongly, in the immortal prin­ ciples of the grand old party, proud of all its vgloriohs history, and rejoicing especially in its' recofd of devotion to the cause of public education. As, how­ ever, the education of all the people vitally concerns all the people, deserves the support of all the people, it seems to me desirable and proper that parti­ san politics should not be mixed with this question and that the candidate for Superintendent of Ppublic. Instruction should make an educational rather than a political campaign. “While the Democratic party has never indulged in idle talk about non- partisanship, I ffeel sure that it is the desire of the party that its candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruc­ tion shall neither mix partisan politics with his campaign nor be influenced thereby in the discharge of his official duties. I trust, therefore, that I shall have the approval of the Democratic executive committee in continuing to make educational rather than political speeches, seeking.only to arouse all pa­ triotic North Carolinians to their duty in the education of all their children. “Yours very truly, “J. Y. JOYNER, “Superintendent of Public Instruc­tion^” . i . , “Ra(eigh, Ni C., Sept. 18, 1902. “Hon. J: Y. -Joyner, Raleigh, N.

Declares Klmself Not Fully in Ac- cord W ith His Party on Trusts and the Tariff. The following letter was addressed to C. E. Albrook, chairman of the no- tificatior! committee, Eldorado, Iowa1 by Mr. Henderson: “My Dear Sir: I have never answered the kind notice communicated by you and your associates advising me of my domination for the eleventh time by acclamation as the Republican candi­ date for Congress for the third con­ gressional district of Iowa. Reported conditions in the public mind in my district upon policies induced to make this delay. “Since, my return to the district I have made a careful study as to the sentiment in the district and State, and I believe there is no little sentiment, and a growing sentiment among Re­ publicans, that I do not truly represent their views on the tariff Question. Be­ lieving this condition to exist and knowing that I do not agree with many of my people that trusts, to which I am and have been opposed, can be cured, or the people benefited by free trade, in whole or in part, I must decline to ac­ cept the nomination so generously and enthusiasically made. “I have devoted 20 of the best years of my life to the service of my people and my country and I have fought for what I belioved to be best for the far­ mer, the laborer and tho business inter­ ests of this district and State. I am grateful for the devotion that has ever been accorded me and to the hour of my death I will hold in a grateful heart the memory of that devotion. I will give, later on, in some detail, my views and convictions on our condi­ tions and public questions, and will state my reasons why the Republican party and its policies should continue In the confidence of the voters of the United States, and why the doctrine of the Democracy should find no lodg­ ment in the faith and teachings of the Republican party. “Very truly yours, (Signed) “D. B. HENDERSON.” Speaker Henderson announced hi3 withdrawal after a. conference of sev­ eral hours duration with Chairman Glasser, of the congressional commit­ tee, and friends this afternoon. Speak­ er Henderson has beeh contemplating this action for two weeks, but had in­ timated nothing of it to friends until yesterday. At today’s conference, his friends implored him not to take the action, but to no avail. He said he had made up his mind and no argument could cause him to change his decision. When asked for his reasons for his withdrawal, SpeakerHenderson said: “My letter to Chairman Albrook is the whole thing in a nutshell. You can­ not kill the trusts by applying free trade without killing our own indus­ tries. The foreign trusts are fighting the American trusts and I do not be­ lieve that for the purpose of controll­ ing American trusts, we should make a maket for foreign trusts, thereby crushing out the industries of this country. After my conference last Sat­ urday at Waterloo, hearing the views of the chairman of my district, I con­ cluded that my views on the tariff question were at variance with thost of many of my party, and I did not de­ sire to appear in a false position.” Speaker Henderson gave out an ad­ dress this evening In which he states his views on the tariff and trust ques­ tions and because these, in his opinion, are not in accord with the State plat­ form and with, the opinions of promi­ nent members of his party, he declines., to accept the nomination. In his statement, Speaker Hender­ son says: “For three years I have ad­ vocated giving control of trusts to Con­ gress. In my judgment, proper super­ vision can never be had until Coniress has power to treat them. I am glad to see from speeches made by our fear­ less and upright Chief Executive tiiat he is advocating Federal control over these corporations and while in some quarters they may sneer at it, I have «ot seen any proposition yet, except this, -that seems at' all likely to bring relief. No proposition has ever been made by the Democracy excepting to ptlt everything on the free list and to give the country free trade. In other Words, they propose to kill the child dead in order to cure it. In my opin­ ion, if conmbinations could be regu­ lated and controlled, we would have very little ground for changes in the tariff laws. For niy part, if any great interest in this country is for prosper­ ity through protective policies or any other legislation and is using its ad­vantages, growth and prosperity to plunder the American people,'!, for one, am ready to strike it by Whatever legal means we may be able to adopt, pro­ vided that in so doing, we do not b urt innocent interests.

JOINT CAMPAIGN ARRANGED Pritchard and Craig Will Discuss the Issues Together. Asheville, Special.—A fortnight ago the report became current that the Democratic State committee had as­ sumed a position adverse to the pro­ posed joint'canvass between Senator Pritchard and Locke Craig, Esq. A later report had it that State Chairman Simmons had intimated to Mr. Craig that the joint canvass would have a tendency to promote discord in Demo­ cratic ranks and must not be. It would seem that these reports were not well founded, for Senator Pritchard and Mr. Craig have arranged the dates and placestwhere they intend to speak. One conference was held between these gentlemen on a passenger train be­ tween Marshall and Hot Springs, Sn the pre-sence of a represetative of The Charlotte Observer. Senator Prftchard had arranged a provisional series of en­ gagements and it was tlie work of only a few minutes to reach an agreement. The Senator had suggested both Salis­ bury and Durham as good places for their jo'nt discussion, but M'r. Craig demurred to this, as he feared a stop at these places would savor too much of an invasion of the enemy’s country, these places being conceded as the pre­ serves of Messvs. Overman and Carr. The dates agreed npon were: Kinston, September 22; Smithfield, 23; Fayetteville, 24; Wilmington , 25; Rocky Mount, 26; Raleigh, 27; Pitts- boro, 29; Oxford, 30; Greensboro, Oc­ tober I; Lenoir. October 2; Statesville, October 8; Charlotte, October 9; Hick­ ory, October 10, and Asheville the 11th. The speaking in Charlotte will take place at night. Later dates will be ar­ ranged for a joint discussion at Eliza­ beth City and Marion and perhaps some point in the western counties. Senator Pritchard said to Mr. Craig: “It is my intention to discuss the is­ sues of the day as I understand them and steer clear of everything of a per­ sonal nature. If we go into personali­ ties it will not make us thing more of ties it will not make us think more of will think less of ourselves.” Mr. Craig readily approved of this sentiment and their discussion will doubtless be pitch­ ed on a high plane. Hiss Declines to Meet Webb. From the Charlotte Observer. Kindly publish the enclosed letter in your paper. Very truly yours, THOMAS S. ROIXINS. Marshall, N. C., Sept. 15, 1902. Hon. E. Y. Webb, Shelby, N. C. Dear Sir: Your letter of the 5th inst., addressed to Mr. George B. Hiss, re­ questing him to join you in a canvass of this district, has been duly received and referred to me as chairman of the Republican congressional execu­ tive committee for my decision. Re­ plying thereto I beg to say that your request for a joint canvass is respect­ fully- declined. With kindest regards, I am THOMAS S. ROLUNS, Chm. Rep. Cong. Ex. Com., 9th Dis. The Crop Bulletin. The amount of precipitation receiv­ ed during the past week was consider­ able, ofecurred chiefly on the 8th and 9th,. and was fairly well distributed. In only a few localities was the rainfall heavy enough to cause slight damage to crops, and generally it had a benefi­ cial effect on field peas, late potatoes and turnips, besides placing the soil in excellent condition for plowing. The weather was cool during the entire week, and the mean averaged over 6 degrees below the normal for the seas­ on. Light, frosts occurred in the moun­ tain region on the IOth and 11th, and probably also on the 14th and 15th without causing any damage. Condi­ tions were favorable for gathering crops and for farm work; fall plowing ha3 begun to make rapid progress; some winter oats have been sown; making pea-vine hay is underway. Much of the early corn crop has been gathered; late corn was a little bene­ fited by rain, it is now generally near maturity; corn on bottom lands and on rich soiHs very; good. Pulling fooder continues in the west. Old cotton was not helped by rain, but though the rainfall was quite heavy in some coun­ ties very few reports of damage by staining were received; late planted cotton was benefited as some corre­ spondents reports blossoms seen near top, indicating with deferred frost, the formation of some top crop. Cotton is opening rapidly and picking is ad­ vancing as fast as possible; it.appears that the'bulk of the crop will be out by the middle of October. While be­ low the average, the'crop will be a good one, exceeding last year’s crop. Tobacco still uncut In north portion is becoming rather coarse. Rice seem to be a very good crop. Gatheringvminor crops is progressing favorably. Crim­ son clover is up with good stands; late irish potatoes look well. Fall apples are short and inferior. Accidentally Shot. Wadesboro, Special.—A most singu­ lar and horrible accident occurred in the .upper part of this county early Monday morning. Messrs. Charlie and Thomas Curlee, sons of David Curlee, Esq., went out on Richardson’s creek turkey hunting, before it was light. Thomas went up in the top of a tree to yelp up the birds, while his brother was out on the skirts of the forest. Not knowing where his brother was, Charlie followed the sound of the yelping, thinking it was a turkey and, spying an object in the top of a tree, fired at it. To his utter amazement and horror he had shot his brother, who fell to the ground and died almost in­ stantly. Th© surving brother is pros­ trated with grief. Cigarette Smoker Uuilty. Elizabeth City, Special.—The case of young Sanders, who was recently ar­ rested and imprisoned upon the charge of cigarette smoking and who took an appeal, was heard before the Superior Court. His attorney endeavored to have his honor dismiss the case be­ cause of a technicality. The motion was denied. After one minute in the room the jury returned with a verdict of guilty. The attorney for the defend­ ant lodged an appeal to the Superior Court. . News Notes. > . . .

The Ticket Nominated By the State Republican Convention SON OF EX-GOV. SMITH READS IT The Piatforra Adopted Expresses Confidence in President Roosevelt —Some Discord. Birmingham, Ala., Special.—The Re­ publicans of Alabama Wednesday nom­ inated the following ticket: Governor, W. J. Smith, of Birming­ ham; Lieutenant Governor, Chas. P. Lane, of Huntsville; Attorney General, W. H. Armbrecht, of Mobile; Secre­ tary of State, J. H. Carter, of Culman; Auditor, McNair, of Marshall county; Treasurer, II. Lee Brown, of Conuef countv; Superintendent of Education, J. C. Fonville, of Crerishal county; Commissioner of Agriculture, T. B. Morton, of Fayetteville. W. J. Smith, the nominee for Governor, is a son ot the late Hon. H. V. Smith, wl\.->_waa Republican Governor of Alabama du­ ring the reconstruction period and is a prominent lawyer of this city. The platform as adopted reaffirms the Philadelphia platform, favors “the organization of labor for its legitimate protection and the enactment of laws for the peaceable and fair settlement by arbitration of disagreements as they may arise between organized cap­ ital and labor,” favors child labor leg­ islation relating to work in cotton mills; condemns “the spirit which seeks to arouse prejudice of the people against the railroads” and advocates the “enactment of laws so regulating the railroads as to adequately protect the interests of the people,” but is op­ posed to any drastic measures, tfhe platform then “endorsed the wisdom of the Dingley tariff law” and urges a continuance of that policy. Republican legislation to build an inter-oceanic Canal is approved. The “bravery and heroism of our soldiers and sailors in the Philippines” are-applauded and the alleged attacks of the Democratic party on them is condemned. The platform then expresses confidence in the ad­ ministration of President Roosevelt and says: “We express our faith in his thoroughly American and patriotic ideas, and we believe that his leader­ ship establishes confidence both in the success of the Republican principles and the continued prosperity and prog­ ress of the country and we therefore favor his renomination to the great oifice which he fills with patriotism and ability. National Committeeman J. W. Dim- mick and State Chairmon William Vaughan are endorsed for their admin­ istration of party affairs in this State. There was some opposition to the en- doresemnt of President Roosevelt for renomination due, it is understood, to tho recent action of the President in removing William Vaughan, retiring Republican State clubman, from the office of district attorney for north Ala­ bama for alleged neglect of duty. A substitute platform omitting the en­ dorsement was voted down, however, 158 to 146, and the original report adopted by a large majority. In a resolution which was adopted the Republicans of Alabama accept the new State constitution, hut disclaim all responsibility for its enactment. Boxers Active Again. Pekin, By Cable.—United States Minister Conger has presented to the Chinese Foreign Office a letter from Dr. Canright, the American millionary of Cherig Tu Fu, regarding the massa­ cres of native Christians there in July Dr. Canright says that eleven converts were killed by Boxers and that the local officials refused to take measures against the Boxers. The letter was written August 2. The missionaries were then guarded by troops and were unable to leave the mission buildings except when escorted by soldiers. Dr. Canright’s recent telegram says the situation is worse. The native papers declare the trouble is due to the collec­ tion of excessive indemnities for Chris­ tian an account of troubles of 1900, and owing to the Christians’ arrogant attitude under foreign protection. Movement Delayed. Manila, By Cable.—The column of troops commanded by General Samuel S. Sumner, commander of the Depart­ ment of Mindiao, has been delayed by rain storms, which have rendered the trails very heavy. The general arrived at Camp Vicars', Saturday, and brought with him a battalion of infan­ try from Malabang. He now has 11- companies of Infantry, two troops of cavalry and two batteries of artillery at Camp Vicars. It is believed the general will riot move on Macin for a few days. - Turpentine Operators.

Tltey Have Propoaed Ho Bemedy Por Trosta Outside of the Worse Titan WortIilesa One of BepealIng All Pro­tective Tariff Duties. The Boston Herald recently began an editorial with the following words: It may be claimed as an open qnes- tion as to whether the Republican par­ ty really accepts the trust issue as be­ fore the American people in the elec­ tion contests of the present year.” Now the Boston Herald is one of our very best contemporaries, having the ability to analyze and expose nonsense when it so desires, and to state its con­ clusions—the sentence quoted to the contrary notwithstanding—in clear and vigorous American, and so in order to start the subject, as they say in de­ bating societies, we respectfully ask our contemporary to state what is. the “trust issue?” We ask In good faith, for we do not know. Now- we hope that our contemporary will not be flippant and evade the ques­ tion with the remark that the trust is­ sue is “the removal of the protective duties under which trusts thrive';’! be­ cause it knows as well as we do that the tariff has nothing to do with trusts. Many Democrats do not know that, but the Boston Herald does because it is an able journal. It de­ sires the removal of protective duties, and, like many other political journals, sometimes condescends to play-.upon popular prejudice to promote what it deems a beneflcient end. But in a heart-to-heart talk it would -disdain such foolishness, and we ask it to state .the real trust issue—confessing that we ourselves cannot do it—because we are sure that if the thing can be done any­ where, it is in the offiee of the Boston Herald. Now, to help matters along, we will ourselves be as definite os.we can by saying that by “the trusts” we all mean the consolidation of indus­ trial, financial and commercial enter­ prises which is going on throughout the world, in free trade and protected countries alike, and upon the high seas, out of the reach of any tariff. Any movement in opposition to this consol­ idation must be either to prevent or break up these consolidations or to regulate and control them. If it is proposed to “smash the trusts,” how does the Herald propose to proceed?1 If it is proposed not to prevent or abolish, but to regulate, what are the things now being done by trusts which should be prevented, and how, under the Na­ tional and State constitutions, can it be done? We do not care to hear about the “publicity” remedy. Doubtless we must have light to see our work, but the work will still remain to’ be done. An “issue” would be raised by a pro­ posal that Congress shall enact a con­ stitutional law which shall abolish or restrain the trusts without injuring general business. Any one can propose such a law. Have the Democrats pro­ posed any? If so, there may be an “issue” wheh we do not know of. If It is not believed that under the Con­ stitution Congress can pass any ef* fective law, an issue could be raised by proposing a constitutional amendment. The Republicans have done that, and every Democrat voted against it and defeated it. It must therefore be as­ sumed that the Democrats oppose giv­ ing Congress unquestioned authority. If that be the case, the only National issue which can be made is in respect to some law either forbidding consoli­ dation or prohibiting consolidated man­ agement from doing certain things. Will the Herald kindly inform us what the Democratic party proposes and the Republicans oppose, so that we may understand what the trust .issue is?— San Francisco Chronicle. EXPORT PRICES. Dbcaanfc Hade on an Infinitealmal era portion of Our Total Production. , Let us take up this export price ques­ tion calmly, fairly and honestly, with a sincere purpose to get at the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Let us ascertain if foreign prices of American goods are lower than Ihe domestic, and if so how much lower and what proportion of our exports are sold at a lower price abroad than at home; what the reasons are for this practice, and how it affects the Ameri­ can consumer and the American wage earner employed in the manufacture of the goods exported. In the first place there need be mo dispute over the contention that goods are sold abroad at a lower price than, at borne. That is, some goods, about one per cent, of our exports of manufac­ tures, which are less than three jter cent, of our total output. So that this great Democratic, free trade bugaboo consists of less than three one. hundredths of one per cent, of our Iolal manufactures. It is shown clearly as follows: Total annual value of manufactures ........ .$15,000,000,000 Exports of manufac­ tures ........................... 400,000,000 Value of exports'at low­ er ,prices abroad 4,000,000 To this extent it is claimed and con­ ceded that our manufacturers resort to the practice of cutting foreign prices —a practice resorted to at times by the manufacturers of every country re­ gardless of high tariff, low tariff,- or no tariffs. It is resorted to in different parts of the same country, and every manufacturer or merchant or seller of goods of any description will at times resort to a reduction in price to get rid of certain merchandise for certain rea­ sons. The reasons are many and should be most carefully analyzed. This will be done in a series of articles and every possible phase of the question will-be thoroughly examined. It is our desire and purpose to place before the voters of the United States the one per cent ot truth and the ninety-nine per cent of falsehood concerning export prices.

The insane talk of throwing down the tariff bars so far as relates to cat­ tle, in order to control the operations of the packers’ trust, continues in some of the free trade papers. Such action would be no blow to the trust, but it would prove a solar plexus to the stock .raisers of the West and the farmers of the Middle and Eastern States who raise stock. As one Republican paper asserts, “that the farmers and not the trust would be.the sufferers from any policy of letting down the bars cannot be disputed. The trust,.would merely enlarge its operations and continue to control the market. The idea that the removal of the tariff would result in knocking out any trust is so absurd that it is-surprising that it should bi seriously advocated.” The dropping o. the tariff on cattle would result in reducing the prices of and the demand for American cattle, and our stock growers would be the principal if not the only sufferers. The trust could make just as much money on cheap Mexican and South American cattle as on the American product. What applies to the cattle industry in this country applies with equal force arguments in favor of free tr tariff reduction on other commi While the American producers suffer losses, no one would be except the foreign producers few importers.—Helena (Mont.] ord. Times For Tariff Change,. The New York Times, comr on the reasons given by the A_ Economist for opposing tariff ri says: “And so it goes. Any time is to increase the tariff. There , suitable to reduce it or to corr absurdities and wrongs.” A reversal of the above would Democratic attitude any time last hundred years. As a matter the statement as quoted is not the Republicans. They reduc tariff in 1S67, in 1S83, and in de other times. Indeed, from 1867 . all the tendencies were toward tion. Even the much maligned ... ley act of 1890 did some reducing other things were advanced bi experience had shown that the tions of 1SS3 had been injurious country. The Dingley act was forced up country by the Democrats, for the necessary follower of the Gorman act, as necessary as struction after a disastrous confl tion. W bat Not to Do* So far we do not see any of publican State conventions duplieati' the blunder of last year’s Iowa conven tion in declaring ifor “Any modification of the tariff sched­ ules that may be required to prevent their affording shelter to monopoly.” Doubtless the framers of this para­ graph in the Iowa platform of 1901 did not then perceive the folly of thus seeming to practically concede the truth of the Democratic contention that “Tariffs foster monopolies and iiusts." They ought .to be able to see it by this time. It should be the more easily apparent from the fact that not a single Republican State convention this year has followed the Iowa lead In urging the Republican party to rec­ tify by tariff tinkering a condition for which the tariff is In no way responsi­ ble LIVE ITEM S OF NEW S. Many Matters of Qeneral Interest In Short Paragraphs. TheSunny South. The burning Oil gusher at Reau- mont, Texas, ceased flowing of its own accord and the fire in the oil field was extinguished.

Gazette. Bird Notes. Cuckoos are birds whose actions are a standing puzzle to naturalists. As is well known, the cuckoo lays its eggs in the nest of other birds. When they hatch the young cuckoos throw out the young of other species and get all the attentions of the old birds for themselves. Recent experi­ ments show that the instinctive de­ sire of the young bird to eject its fos­ ter brothers from the nest is much stronger than has been believed. Two cuckoo eggs were placed in th° same nest, and the fight that ensued after the chicks were hatched reads like an account of champion wrestling. The instinct is a' most singular one and was manifested before the birds were twenty hours old. Proverbial early risSig by the lark, expressed in the phrase, “up with the lark,” is de­ nied by an' eminent ornithologist, who claims that whereas the greenfinch is up at 2 o’clock in the morning in sum­ mer, the blackbird at 4 and the hedge­ row sparrow half an hour later, the lark does not appear until after 5.— Chicago News.

Miscellaneous Matters. The war game off the Northern coast has ended. The anniversary of .President Mc­ Kinley’s death was observed at his home, Canton, Ohio, at Buffalo, N.

Descrjpiions'of the recent volcanic eruptions in Martinque and St. Vin­ cent show Ihat they were of the most terrifying character.

The most destructive fire In the his­ tory of Saratoga, N. Y.,-broke out last Monday in the Arcade Building, the principal business structure in the town, and in a short time $300,000 worth of property was burned up, says the Editor and Publisher. Five per­ sons were burned to death and several badly injured. The office and printery of the Evening Saratogain were des- stroyed. As soon as it was seen that the newspaper plant was destroyed, themanager wired the management of the Albany, N. Y., Argus, and received from the Albany company a tender of its plant for the evening edition of the Saratogian. The staff of the Sara­ toga paper quickly covered the fire and gathered up other news and advertise- ing copy to fill the paper, boarded a train for Albany, which lies thirty-nine miles away, and the stuff was written and set up In the office of the Argus. A big edition of the Saratogian was run off on the Argps presses, put upon a train for Saratoga and distributed in the latter city on time. At last accounts the Saratogian was still get­ ting out on time with the aid of the Albany plant Selection of Nurses. One among several important les­ sons to be derived from the awful story of confessed crime related by Jane Toppan, the Boston woman, is the need of exercising great care in the selection of nurses for sick, fee­ ble and helpless people. By the very conditions and circumstances under which their service is rendered, such persons can do an infinite amount of mischief and positive injury with the lightest possible chance of detection. In the case of infants, imbecile people aud persons reduced to general help­ lessness by- disease, maltreatment of the worst sort may be secretly prac­ ticed with little or no danger of ex­ posure and no retaliation from the victims. Injuries occurring to such unfortunates, when discovered, can easily be explained away as the result of natural causes.—Leslie's Weekly. The Mob’s Version. That a knowledge of spelling was not the strong point of the London populace 100 years ago is shown in an episode in that city at the time the peace with France was being celebrat­ ed. M. Otto, the French ambassador, had erected the words “Peace and Concord" on a sign before his resi­ dence. The mob understood that this was quite the same as “peace and conquered." It insisted on the objec­ tionable word being removed. In the place of “concord” “amity” was erect­ ed, and, curious to say, the crowd, un­ intelligent enough to think “concord” meant “conquered,” did not think that "amity” might mean “enmity."
