The Uesistratipn of those who are to under vote Virgi nia’s new con­ stitution has brought out the fact that 300 Confederate veterans in Lee Camp Soldiers’ Home near Richmond, have been practically disfranchised. The Attorney General of the State, \V. A . Anderson, today rendered an opinion that no inmate of a soldiers’ home, or other chari­ table institution, is entitled to reg­ ister and vote anywhere except iu the place of Iiis residence prior to becoming an inmate of ilia institu­tion. It has developed that this clause was inserted in the constitution after it had lieen considered earn­ estly by the suffrage committee for the constitutional convention, and that it was not aimed at. the veter­ ans of Lee Camp, but at the 3000 inmates of the National Soldiers’ H om eatH am pton. All of these latterare from the North, and they vote the Republican ticket al­ most solidly, being an im portant factor in the polities of that sec­ tion. It was deemed wise, therefore, to sacrifice the 300 Democratic votes at Lee Camp in ordee to get rid of the 3,000 Retnbiican voters a t Hampton. It is likely that the Democratic leaders iu Henrico county, where Lee Camp Is sit­ uated, will oppose the attem pt to disfranchise the Confederates. The home's vote has heretofore held the balance ot power, and the candi­ date able to secure it has always been sure of election. The veter­ ans themselves are highly indig­ nant and are talking of carrying the question to the State Supreme Court. rkS'" PRESCRIPTION !'OR MALARIA. is a b o tt,e ° f » J Z dsteleaa Cfai'l Tonie It Hastoi 1100 a,|d quinine in Americas famous Beauties.

Elsewhere in The Record will be fonnd two Editorials in the Black- Imrn-M erritt affair; one from the Biblical Recorder, the Baptist or­ gan of the State; the other from the Tlioinasfille News. Brother Bailey of the Recorder draws iu a striking manner, the line of dis­ tinction between a true gentleman aud the sensational news monger, tainted with yellow iournalisni of the lowest order. The people should draw the line, and sit down upon these detainers.. They will even invade the sacred ness of home life, and like the Jackall, invade the grave, in order to consummate their diabolical schemes. To gen­ tlemanly instincts they are stran­ gers, the rankest of cowardly curs, they exist only by the encourage­ ment they receive at the hands of a corrupt and polluted public sen­ timent, which has too long dis­ graced our country, Awav with them. STILL AT IT. The Bible teaches us that man was made of Clay, and if this be true, we presume we are no excep­ tion to the rule. Now whether en­ silage and fertilizer enters into the composition we leat e to the astute editor of the Journal to decide. It’s very evident to our m ind that a sack of Owi Brand has been sifted through the cracks into the “hole in t h e wall ” all over the little Fawcett, through which the sliine and dirt are vented on a long suf­ fering public, regardless of the or­ dinary decencies which character­ ize the true gentleman, W here noxious gases are being continually generated, an explosion naturally follows sooner or later, and if oui friends over there can stand it 60 close at.hand, we will'not “ furse? A CARD. To the Voters of Davie Co:— U n 'er the present election law, there will be an entirely new reg- stration of voters tor the Novem­ ber election, 1902, (Nov, 4). The registration books will open on Thursday, Oct. 2, 1902. and will remain open for 20 days, (Sunday excepted) from 9 o’clock a. m. un til sunset and will close on Satur­ day, Oct. 25th, 1902. The Regis­ trar will be at the polling place of his precinct on Saturday, Oct. .4th; S aturday,. Oct. 11th; Saturday, Oct. 18th j and Saturdry, Oct. 25th 1902, for the purpose-of register­ ing voters. For the remaining part of the 20 days on whicii regis­ tration is -allowed, the books will be open a t the home of ' the.

That is the best he can do; and it is bet­ ter than nothing, by odds No donbt the newspaper men that have held up for scorn or humor or news or political raillery the re­ port that a certain North ' Carolina congressman's marriage depends upon his re-election, would get quite hot, a very ungentlemarly state, to be sure, should any one tell them that they are not gentle­ men. But' clearly they have done a thing no gentleman would do. Itth e y a re gentlemen, thjy will recognize this aad confess it. Their pleading is that they wonld be gentlemen do not the rule, that their intentions are good but their instincts are deficient. The defect is fundamental. No gentleman will expose the personal relations of his feilow. ■•In this ease doubtless the re­ port is untrue; but true or untrue is not the question. We regret that the congressman had to give one of the newspaper men a huinili atiug beating, we regret it; but it is very plain that he deserved it. “ A nd we hope his punishment will serve to make some of the papers more respectful of the sacred personal relations. As one reads the papers he is shocked and hum iliated at the liberties that are taken, at the stupid, aye brutish indifference to the delicate and sa­ cred personal relations. Often it is not indilierence, but sheer igno­ rance of the sacredness of these re­ lations. There are men who have none of the Jiuer sensibilities. They should not be in newspaper offices. It bespeaks an alarming unmanli- uess in the papers aud in the pub­ lic—in the public more than in the papert>, since the public makes the papers. •‘We are abont to forget the rule, T h eiu lefo r beingagentlem an is this: As ye wonld that men should do unto yon do ye even so to them. There is no other.” —Biblical Re­ corder, Sept. 17, ’02. The Thomasville news, a North Carolina Democratic paper says: “ M erritt while engaged in jour­ nalism at ltaleigh did not write from a high plane. H e always sought sensationalism and then magnified it fully one-hundred fold It is a wonder that he has escaped justice so long.” <§ ^iis iignfttaM is on mary box of the genuiMLaxative Bromo^QuMne Tabiet8 fee itnedy thii coves a e*M in o m dajr !H?U v1I1 ll pPtviuk this gargle your throat often it will quickly cure a Soro Throat. T H E B IG W IN S T O N F A IR . The best Fairs that are held in N orth Carolina are held at Winston-Salem. This year we are told the Fair will be better than usual, and from what we hear of the preparations that are being made, we do not doubt but what our friends will realize their anticipation in this d i­ rection. TheFaiir takes place this year October-7. 8 ,9 , 10th. Secretary W ebb writes that he is arranging for an unusually interesting pro­ gramme this time. Besides the largest Agricultural, Live-Stock ai d Poultry exhibits ever seen in this country, the other features will be in keeping with the occa­ sion. The Midway -will be first class, w ith all objectionable fea­ tures ruled out- The free shows will be worth 50c any time. Then there will be balloon ascensions, toot-ball, bicycle races, cake­ walks, fine music, Good Roads Convention, Old Veteran’s Re-un- idp, etc, ete. There will be two very handsome suits of furniture given to the couple that will agree to get m arried on the grounds dar­ ing the Fair. In fact, - there will be so many things going on that Sety. W ebb says he cant think . of all of them at one time. A nd now comes the fanny part: The Big W inston Fair only charges 25c to go in to see any thing. Others charge 50c. Let’s all go to W ins­ ton. There will be cheap railroad fares, and we .are informed that traies will run to and from the grounds on a very -satisfactory snhednle.

The Counfry Swept BY A DISASTROUS CYCLONE, Followed by a Tidal Wave*—Violent Marine Agitations Noted—A Hun* dred Dead Bodies FounJ at flodica. The Disaster Believed to Have Been Due to a W aterspout at Sea. London, By Cable.—A dispatch from Home announces that a severe cyclone has swept over Catania, a city on the coast of Sicily. The railroads have suf­fered seriously, The cyclone also was sever at other places and many were’ killed. Mount Etna shows further signs of activity and the volcano of Stromboli is still active. Syracuse, Sicily, By Cable.—For 24 hours before the cyclone burst over the island, a violent storm raged on the eastern coast of Sicily. The path of the cyclone was 124 miles long, and everything in the line of the storm was destroyed. The sea swept inland for several kilmoters, doing enormous damage, while there were violent sub­ marine agitations between Sicily and the mainland. Along the railroad from Catania to Palermo, the force of the cyclone was such that rails were torn up and huled to great distance. It is reported from Modica 32 miles south­ west from Syracuse), that a hundred bodies have already been found, but that the number of dead bodies swept away by the torrent is unknown.The newspaper Fracassaa expresses the belief that some 400 people have been killedd. The torrent destroyed everything on the ground floors in bouses of the lower portions of Modi* ca. Bridges and roads have disappear­ ed and damage amounting to many million lire has been done. (A lire is worth about twenty cents.) The sur­vivors of the catastrophe have taken iefuge in the hills. A relief committee and search parties have been organi­ zed at Modica. The disaster is suppos­ed to have been due to a marine water­ spout. The German steamer Capera was wrecked at Catania after a terrible stniggle with the waves. Census of Philippines. Washington, Special. — President Roosevelt has signed the order pro' viding for the taking of a census of the Philippines, in accordance’ with the terms of the Philippine act passed at the last session of Congress and upon the certificate: of the Philippine com­mission that the insurrection has been suppressed.: The commission’s certifi­ cate' excepts the Lake Lanao district in Mindanao, where Moros are in arms, as not coming within the terms of the Philippine act. the Moros hav­ing never taken part in the PhUippino insurrection proper. The order of the President is dated September 25. It recites the provision of the Philippine act, which provides that when com­ plete peace shall have been estab­ lished and the fact certified to the President, the census shall' be or> dered, which shall make inquiries re­ lating to the population and ascertain as far as possible all facts such as taken in a census of this country. In his discretion the President may em­ ploy the present Census Bureau in promulgating the statiscal informa­ tion. The Cotton Crop. Washington. Special.—A number of special agents of the Department of Agriculture have left Washington for the South and others will follow for the purpose of investigating certain features of the cotton movement. Sta­ tistician Hyde’s estimate of the amount of cotton, actually grown dur­ ing the year 1901-’02 and the Census Bureau as to the amount ginned dur­ing the year both differ considerably from the amount marketed, according to the commercial reports. Tlie De­partment believes the difference is made up largely of cotton carried over from preceding years and of linters and re-packs. No expense will be spared, it is said, in an investigation as to what the commercial crop really amounted to and what it consisted of, and a full statement of the result will be made public.______ Well Digger Strikes Gold. Greensboro, Special.—A well-digger found a suspicious-Iooking chunk of metal on the, farm of Mrs. Harrison Fields, three miles north of Greens­ boro, and, bringing it to the city, had a chemist to examine it, who pro­ nounced it a nugget of pure gold, 18 karats fine. The lump is about the size of one’s thumb and the gold runs entirely through it. The man who found it will not tell exactly at what place on the farm he found it. He seems to think he has a good thing and wants to share in it LIVE ITEMS OF NEWS. MAny Matters of General Interest Ia SUort Paragraphs. . Tbe Sunny South.

A State convention of pension com­ missioners lias been called to meet at Jackson, Miss., February 10, to see what can be done to settle the pension problem. Confederate pensions in Mis­ sissippi are paid pro rata, a gross sum being voted by the Legislature. Last year the pro rata became so small that most of the veterans got only a frac­ tion more than %i a month. The Legis­ lature, at its meeting in January, in­ creased the appropriation 33 per cent., but the new roll of pensioners shows a Eimilar increase, and the veterans will again get only S2 apiece.

It is, how­ ever, badly mutilated; the top part was blown completely off, leaving a large hollow showing one-third of the v-'ay (!aco the trunk. Only three boughs Iio& remain on it. but it-still stands proudly erect. The Davie pop Iar is always one of the first things pointed out o.i the campus and there srs manv who will regret its un­ fortunate mishap. Postm aster Absconds. Washington.

Some of the Mitchell lieutenants think the sheriff acted rather hastily and the bringing of troops here was for the purpose of en­ abling the mino owners to operate their eoileries, but they would be dis­ appointed, as the strikeis are as deter­mined as ever. Sheriff Jacobs, in a statement issued to the .-public, explains at length why he callcd on the Governor for troops. He says the outbreaks were becoming too numerous and with the limited number of men at. his command he could not cope with the unlawful as­ semblies that gathered in various pla­ ces throughout the county.A Central Railroad of New Jersey coal train, which was moving out of a mine siding at Warrior Run Tuesday night, was derailed by an open switch, which had been ,tampered with by un­ known parties. The crew escaped by jumping and the cars were piled up \~x a big wreck. The coal which the train tvas carrying was intended for the Mew York market. A big crowd of strikers attempted to prevent the non-union men employed at the Exeter colliery, of-the Lehigh Valley Coal Company at Sturmerville, fiom goicg to work this morning. A □umber of deputy sheriffs, in charge of Thomas Burket. tried to protect the workmen. A fight followed, in which several shots wero fired. David Rich­ ards, a fire bcss, was shot in the leg, and David Harris and John P. Stroh were beaten on the head with clubs. Tfcos. Burket was also knocked down with a stone and rendered unconscious. The coal and iron police finally dis­persed the mob. * New York Republicans. Saratoga, N.

Rains in Texas. Houston, Texas, Special.—A heavy rain fell Wednesday night over south Texas, breaking a severe drought in the cattle country, which had caused a heavy loss to cattlemen along the Rio Grande and the lower coast. Reports from northeast and north central Tex­ as show that the rains of the past two days have done considerable damage to the open cotton and that the fields are so boggy as seriously to interfere with picking operations. W as Too Attentive. Ocala, Fla.. Special.—In a duel Wed­ nesday morning between Moses Brown ind W. T. Frierson, Brown was shot and killed, and Frierson dangerously wounded.

The wieck blocked traffic nearly 24 hours. Nobcdy was injured by the accident The cause of the wreck was the 'break­ ing of the front axle of a loaded coal car. -quantities of merchandise were damaged or destroyod, and the loss of cars' and goods is heavy. The world’s premiums are neve worth the cost of the coupons. Two K1-Sted. Beaumont, Texas,-:. Spedial—In a riot at Port Arthur Wednesday night, Dep­ uty Marshal Smith and a Mexican were killed.

Presi­ dent Roosevelt’s Western trip came to m untimely end in this city- Wednes­ day. He was.found to be suffering Erom a swelling in the left leg, be- ;wecn the knee and the ankle, which required immediate surgical “ ten- tion, and instead of being taken to the train to continue his journey to Fort VVayne and Milwaukee/ he was con­ veyed to St. Vincent’s Hospital, where he was operated on*-The operation oc­ curred at 3:45 o’clock and lasted only a short time. Then he was taken to a, private room in the hospital to rest. After taking a light luncheon at 7:30 p. m., he was conveyed on a stretcher to his train, which had been backed up on a “Y” near the hospital, and at 7:50 o’clock the train left for Wash­ ington. The first intimation that any­ thing was wrong came In the form of rumors to the great crowd, which was patiently waiting near the Columbia Club and the soldiers’ and sailors’ monument for. the President to ap­ pear. It was about 2:30 o’clock,. half an hour after the time set for the President to leave the city, that a few favored ones in the crowd received in­ timations that the President was sick and the rest of the trip would be abandoned. These statements were as promptly denied, as fast as they sained currency, but soqn the rumors began to take on a more serious char- “The President has burst aT^blogd vessel,-” was a whisper that went around among the police officers and soldiers. “This cannot be true,” and others, “for the President is in the corridor conversing with Senator Fairbanks.” Then it was said that the President was sick, that he had fainted, and finally a rumor was started that he had been shot. These rumors, how­ ever, did not appear to reach the crowd. A half hour or more passed, and finally it was noticed that a movement of some'kind was on. The President’s carriage stood in front of :he entrance of the club with Colonel Wilson, the Governor’s private secre- a.ry, inside, holding the large bunch Qf American Beauty roses that had been given the President in the hall. The soldiers of the National Guard were drawn up along the street just in the rear. The Secret Service men and the local police and detectives crowded the sidewalks in front of the club, keeping back the people. The command was given to "make room’’ and a path was cleared from the club entrance to the carriage, and, as if in answer to the rumors of his illness, the President accompanied by Sena­ tor Fairbanks with a quick and sturdy gait, came down the steps of the club and hastily entered the carriage. Col­ onel Wilson got out and Senator Fair­ banks, Secretary Cortelyou and Gov­ ernor Durbin took seats in the car­ riage with the President. The car­ riage started immediately for St. Vin­ cent Hospital. Though the carriage was closed, the crowds on the streets cheered. At the hospital the President alighted, and walked with Senator Fairbanks and Governor Durbin up the steps of the hospital. A’squad of police formed a cordon about the building. After the President entered the op­ erating room he sat down and waited for instruction from the physicians and surgeons, watching their prepara­ tions with keen interest. “I am awfully sorry I cannot con­ tinue my Western trip,” said he "Can’t you let me go ahead with it after this ihing is over?” Several of the surgeons turned to him and one said: “It is my opinion that you would be very indiscreet to continue on your feet, as would be necessary in your speechmaking trip, after your operation. This Is by no means a serious thing and there is ab­ solutely no danger of serious conse­ quences from it, if you are careful and stay on your ieet until the trouble lb over. But you should by all means, Mr. President discontinue your trip.”“Very well, then, it will have to be that way,” said the President, resign­edly. The operation was begun without d» lay. The pain -caused the President to mutter several times in a low voice, but he said nothing that was distinct except, to ask for a glass of water be­ fore the needle had been removed. Af­ ter the operation was over, he made several laughing remarks. After being taken to an upper room from the oper­ ating table the President was served with a light luncheon and Chatted pleasantly to those in the room. He made several kind remarks to the at­tending nurses about the trouble he was causing, and shifted his position several times nervously. At 7:40 p. m., a white blanket was thrown around him and he was placed on the hospital stretcher and escorted by a company of infantry, was carried to the car, a block away, by four negro porters from the train. The swelling of the President’s leg, which made an operation necessary, was occasioned by a bruise he received at the time of the trolley car accident at Pittsfield, Mass. Besides being injured In the face and across the .eye, the President at that time received a blow upon the inner part of the left leg, between the ankle and the knee,, but characteristically he paid no attention to it, ignoring it as being a slight bruise, not worth talk­ ing about. For several weeks he took no heed of it, but finally it began to pain him so as to enforce his attention After starting on bis Western trip he determined that Dr. Lung, who was aboard the train, should-examine it The doctor did so and pronounced it t*. be a serious matter. When in Detroit the doctor finally declared somethin- should be done. After consulting with- Dr. Ritchard- son, another member of the narty, it was decided that in. order to avoid the POMibility of blood poisoning, it would be best to have an operation performed The President was very much averse to anything of the kind, but neverthe­ less, when Logansport had been reach­ed, he had been prevailed on to deliver -he tariff speech, which had been pre­ pared for delivery at Milwaukee, and which was regarded Es sn S o l Vdv most important of his-proposed speeches for the West. At Logansport, Senator Bev­eridge boarded the train and after a consultation with him it was decided that he should summon several of the best physicians of Indianapolis 4o mee' the President. When the train pulled’ into the station, the doctors were there and they were taken by tile Senator immediatefy Info the President s^ car. When the President arose to greet the padty, and also when he arose to make address, it was noticed by those near him that he stood with ail his weight on his right leg, and the posture seem- ed so awkward and so . mucJ* pose that it caused comment. When the Ptesident was taken to the Columbia Club for luncheon, he was made tJie subject of a serious consultation by the physicians. His leg was bared and the swelling examined. After.a consid­ erable time the doctors reached a ver­ dict. Said Dr. Oliver: ,“In order to avoid ^possible blood poisoning setting in, it will bo neces­ sary for the President to vibmit to a slight operation,” and to this view all the other concurred. The Presiden Tiished to postpone it until he reached Washington, but the physicians aSaln proved obdurate. They gave it as their opinion that the bruise could not be trifled with, in its present condit'on and that no one could afford, under all the circumstances, to take any chances in postponing the needed sur­ gical attention.At the conclusion of the operation the physicians authorized lhc following statement: wAs a result of the thrau- mjliam (bruise) received in the trolley accident at Pittsfield, Mass., there was found to be a circumscribed collection of perfectly pure serum in the middle third of the left anterior tiblal region, the sac containing about two ounces, which was removed.” NORTB STATE CROPS • B ' • 7 T "» Condition of Crops For the WeeIi Just Closed. The week ending Monday, Septem­ ber 22, was decidedly cooler-than us­ ual, with a mean temperature of 86 degrees, a maximum of 85 degrees at Greenwood on the 18th, and a mini-, mum of 44 at Greenville on the 15th. There was a general deficiency In sun­ shine, with more cloudiness over the eastern than over the western half of the State. The winds were light east­ erly to northerly. Over a large portion of the State, and the eastern half generally, there was little or no rain during the week, while In places over the western half fairly heavy showers occurred on the 18th and 19th. The rains were gentle and did not damage any open cotton to any great extent. In the northeast­ ern counties there is need of" rain for fall crops and to put the ground into dition for fall plowing.' . The weather was favorable, on the whole, for harvesting corn, cotton and rice, and for farmwork in general. Reports on cotton are very full this week, and cover every section of the State, and they confirm previous esti­ mates of a comparatively short crop. It appears that the promising condi­ tion near the close of June was irre­ parably injured by the hot and dry weather from June 28th to July 10th, which consequently caused the plants to shed, rust and blight and to stop growing, and, while some fields in fa­ vorable localities put on new growth late in August that has since bloomed and fruited, the majority of plants did not fruit well during August, and most of them apparently died. Cotton Is from two-thirds to three-fourths .open, and much of it has been picked, indeed, some fields have already been abandoned, but In a number of coun­ ties pickers are scarce and there a smaller percentage. of the crop has been gathered. The yields are esti­ mated helow last year’s by a majority of the correspondents, although in five counties the yield is estimated equal or greater than last year’s. Frost de­ ferred until late in November will in­ crease the crop materially in places. Boll worms have appeared on late, un­ opened bolls to Barnwell county. Sea- island cotton is better than for a num­ ber of years, and bears a fair top crop; picking well under way. Com is being housed. Minor crops are doing well. Truck is in fine grow­ ing condition. In tbe Spartan City Spartanburg, SpeciaL-In the case of Mrs. L. M. Gentry against the city of Spartanburg, which was concluded in the Sessions Court late Saturday after­ noon, the jury returned a verdict of $175 for the plaintiff. The action waa brought against the. City .for damages claimed to have been sustained by the widening of North Church street, it having been necesary for the city to condemn a part of the property of Mrs. Gentry in Improving the thoroughfare in question. The case of Cannon against the Spartanburg Gas, Light and Railway Company was continued owing to illness in the family of C. P. Sanders, attorney for the defendants. Deputy Sheriff Wilborn, of Union county, was in the city on his return from Gastonia, N. C., where he effected the aTrest of a negro named Henry, who was wanted in Union on a war­ rant issued in May, charging him with assault and battery with intent to kill.

TflEY1EE WOBKlM NOW these four w ords the secret OF OUR PROSPERITY. jj«f* Secretary Shaw, In a Groat Speech, De­ nounces TorilT Repeal as a WortMess Trust IEemedy, and SayS Uio Tariff Snoiiia Be Iiet Alone. Th® speech of Secretary Shair at Movrisvillc, Vt., on the IOth of August was ail epoch in the campaign of 1902. Its importance and its signifl- cance can hardly be Orel-estimated. The country -nras ready and waiting for such a speech by the Secretary of the Treasury. More than ever, after reading this speech, win the country congratulate itself and the adminis­ tration upon the retirement of a very feeble and inefficient minister of finance and the installation as his suc­ cessor of a man of brains, a man of mark, a man who studied economics while sludying. finance, and has ac­ cordingly learned the important truth Uiat a sound economic condition is an indispensable condition precedent to a sound financial condition. What Secretary Gage did not know about the tariff and its relation to the gen­ eral welfare of the nation would mak? up a very large volume. What little he did lenow he knew wrongly and for the most part as afrce trader knows it.' Bnt here comes a man from Iowa whose horizon has not been bounded- by a bank counter, who has seen a bigger world, a world of more conse­ quence, a world of farms and factor­ ies, of mills and mines, of forests and fisheries, while at the same time he has not Mglectcd to look over the "-oi-ld of finance. Speaking as the fis­ cal mouthpiece of the Administration this wide open eyed man tells the country what it wants most to liear nr this time, and that is that tile thing to consider .hist now is the prosperity we have and how .not to fool it away by half-baked, premature projects of tariff reform and tariff revision. V,'Iiils not opposing changes In the tariff schedules when such chnngcs arc plainly called for by altered condi­ tions, Secwtary Shaw would "resist the efforts of the opposition to revise the entire tariff law, thus paralyzing business for a season.” Ho donbts the wisdom of instructing or exacting pledges from candidates for Congress as “liable to precipitate a protracted debate with very uncertain results.” In his opinion no condition at present exists which calls for or justifies anv disturbance of the tariff schedules on any other than strict protection lines. Most emphatically and specifically he !■ejects the plea that tariff revision is necessary because of the trusts, or be­ cause somebody somewhere thinks he would be gainer by a reduction of duty rates. Says the Secretary: “There ought to be some more tangi­ ble reason for such a dangerous expe­ dient than the existence of a senti­ ment in certain localities, now as al­ ways, that demands a reduction of the tariff on articles there consumed and not produced, while it stands ready to fight to a finish any reduction on the things there produced. “I, for one, must have a very bitter and relentless enemy before I will con­ sent to carry yellow fever germs into niy home town. Don't misunderstand me. I am not comparing a readjust­ ment of a schedule here and .there to an epidemic. Bnt I do declare that there has never been a revision of the tariff in the interests of free trade or for revenue only that lias not proven as fatal to business as the plagues of Egypt.” Still more explicitly Secretary Shaw declares: “I am willing to concede that condi­ tio n s change, and that the old Morrill bill of the sixties, for in sta n c e, when th e country was in v o lv ed in war, woald not be a p p ro p ria te for us now, but I w ill not admit that the ta riff is th e rBOtIier of trusts, nor w ill I con­ cede Shat a tariff fo r re v e n u e only will destroy trusts on a n y other theory5 th a n ih a t a fire in a wheat field will d e s tro j Canada th istle s.” The precise attitude of the stalwart protectionists has never been more clearly expressed than in this state­ ment. “The protective tariff,” says Mr. Shaw, “is’ not the mother of trusts, though it is the parent of conditions that make it profitable for capital to combine and congenial for labor to or­ ganize.” fie adds: “The EepubIican party in my State recently reaffirmed the tariff platform of 1901. This has caused consider­ able comment. It has been misrepre­ sented, not quite as persistently, but In the same way, that the memorable speech of President McKinley at Buf­ falo has been misrepresented, mis­ quoted, misconstrued and misapplied.” Tlic significance of this remark will be appreciated by those who have wil­ fully and falsely sought to show that President McKinley favored a relaxa­ tion of the principle Cf protection. On the subject of removing the tariff on meat and cattle as a means of cut­ ting down the current prices of meats Secretary Shaw is cogent, clear and logical., He demonstrates conclusively !hat for this grievance tariff ripping would be no remedy. It would hurt the farmers, but -would not hurt the Beef Trust, for the latter would still continue to buy and handle all the cat­ tle and all the meat that would come in-from Mexico and Canada and South America, even though the tariff of two cents a pound on meat and twen­ ty-seven and a half per cent, on cattle were Wholljr removed. Nothing now prevents the disgruntled butchers from buying cattle direct from the farmers and selling it direct to consumers a I lower than trust prices—that is, noth­ ing but the superior capital and equip­ ment and facilities of the great pack­ ing concerns 'that make tin the trust. This superiority of capital, equipment and resources would remain after the tariff Iiad been removed, and th* butchers- would be no better off then than now in their struggle against mo­ nopoly. I^et Secretary Sliaw tell a reason for the present high price of meat wholly outside of the operatioj of the protective tariff: . .“I have taken occasion to look tins1 matter up since reading of these reso­ lutions, and I think I can find reason for tha present price of meat other than the protective tariff. I find that ITiere were i-eccived at'the stock yards in Chicago, in the one-month ol-July, 1902, 05,000 less beeves and 170.000 less hogs than in the same month one year ago. That means 7000 less ani­mals per day. “The Burlington road alone, during the entire mouth, brought from the Southwest, where the corn crop was a failure-last year, 1000 less fat steers per day this year than last. “Let no one understand this to he a defense of the packers or an extenua­ tion of their offenses. A suit is now pending against them, and if the alle­ gations of the petition are sustained (and that seems probable), they are going to have trouble, and it will take a very much more a C u form thau it would to saj to the ftu-mers of the United Statei*<<tat their industry sua"' he opened to tOmpetition from the un­ limited ranges of South America.” A world o/ wisdom is contained in the following illustration of the secret of prosperity: “The senior Phil Armour told me that he got rich while a young man by watching /Jie iron arid coal miners. “He said: ‘Whenever these men were at work I used to pack every ham I could get my hands on, and my old partner ivould say, “Phil, you will break us up.” I would answer, ‘No, those fellows are working.’ But when the coal and iron workers were idle I used to sell every thing I could dispose o f •The secret of American prosperity, gentlemen, can bo couched in four words—“they are working now.” And “they” means everybody—farmer and artisan, mechanic and merchant, the inan at the forgo and the man in the field—and they are all interdependent. “Away back iu 1840 Daniel Webster in the course of a three days’ speech against ' that most unfortunate bill which repealed the protective tariff act which bole the signature of Old Tippecanoe, uttered this maxim, 'When there is work for (lie hands there will be bread for the teeth.’ ” “They are working now'’’ That is the whole secret in four words. And Secretary Shav.' asks tho voters of the United States to see to it that this condition is not changed.. How not to change it? Compel all tariff reform­ ers, all tariff revisionists, all tariff tinkers of every sort and kind to “go away back and sit down.” Prosperity is the issue. The country has a good thing. Let it alone. Is That tlie Seanon ? “Until the money question is settled we are opposed to anj agitation for further changes Sn our tariff laws, er cept such as are necessary to meet the deficit in revenue caused by the ad- vej-se decision of the Supreme Courton the income tax.” This was the Dcmc cratic declaration ia 1S9G. Ttey are now_demanding a chaugc ia the tariff. Do they admit that the money ques­ tion is settled? There was a deficit then. There is none now. The deficit was wiped out under the existing tariff law. Is that ijio reason the Democrats now want the tariff “revised?” It is well to get at the root of the contention.—Burling­ ton (Iowa) Hawkeye. ■ Tlio Farmer ITinds This a GootI Fence, I PRGTECTIOn An Emlmrrassing Question. The trusts are to be the issue upon which the reorganized Democracy will make its campaign this year. It would bo unfgfr, perhaps, to ask a Democra­ tic oratssr wliat trust the last Democra­ tic Administration put out of business after being elected on a platform in which trusts were qnite as vigorously denounced as they were in Ilie Demo­ cratic platform of 1002. — Brookvillc (Ind.)

Every man should read one goo-1 newspaper each day. I do not mean, of course, that he should read every­ thing in it; but he should go over the entire contents, carefully making his selections and reading attentively the articles which give promise of being helpful or instructive. The weekly, and, more particularly, the monthly reviews, are also of great value, from the fact that they famil­ iarize their readers with current his­ tory—which, after all, is the most Important history—while at the same time possessing some advantages over the daily newspapers, because the editors are not compelled to ac­ cept first reports, and also hare op­ portunity to, correct any inaccuracies which may creep into hurriedly pre­ pared discussions of subjects. Nev­ ertheless, these reviews must ever but supplement the. daily newspaper, for we are not content, in this .age, to wait, until the end of the t§r our news.—Secretary -ioofly, in Success. .

I 2 I To Build Eartli Roads. tfL - J OTWITHSTANDING all that \ I lias ljeeu done or proposed in j \ Ilie way of road improve- q meht, the real problem for the next twenty-five years will con* tinuc to be how to make good dirt roads. Model roads, under the IIig- bce-Armstrong act, or any other pos­ sible act, will uot cover the4 State of New YorIc with macadamized roads in­ side of seventy-five years. The change will not be perceptible to the majority of farmers inside of twenty-five years. Of course, this kind of work should be pushed forward with earnestness and liberality. Tlie trolley meanwhile will go a great ways to supplement the macadam, but both together cannot Iiit us out of the slough. We rnnst study the dirt road question? and uot cojisider it as of little importance. County engineers, talcing charge under the pay system, onght to make a solu­ tion of the question, which the old pathmaster system did not. and never could have done. A good dirt road could never be made by surface drain­ ing. It was no more possible—and nf'ver will be possible—than to make dry meadows by surface draining. The farmer knows that he must nnderdrain his land, and do it thor­ oughly. But if yon go into a highway and drive a spade down in the middle of your road you will find that the crust even in the dryest weather Is not more than six inches in thickness. How long a rain will it take to soften this or break it up entirely? The result is mud holes, and in a wet spell almost impassable roads, and this has been tha history of our country roads ever since we took possession of the land and laid them out. It would contiuue to be the story forever under the pathmaster system. What is needed is underdraining as well as surface draining. In some cases a main ditch along the centre of the road, thorough­ ly laid in six or eightJnch tile, would be sufficient. In other cases it would need the French system of tile ditches on each side. European model roads have these deep ditches four feet deep on each side of the road, and in some cases there is au additional ditch down in the centre, all tiled- and covered. The expense of sucli a dirt road 1Would, of course, be vastly less than a mac­ adam or telford voad, and it would pay for itself in the saving of a single year to the farmers adjacent. There could be 110 objection to a thoroughly well laid stone drain, where tile ia costly and stone plenty. In other words, drain your roads as you drain your meadows, and they will be pass­ able driveways and hauhvays at all seasons of the year. We note that where trolleys are built they improve the drainage, and do it with covered drains.—E. P. Powell, Clinton, N. Y. NEW T.RANSVAAL STAMPS. Foster Self-Respect. Good roads foster a proper self-re­ spect, both in the man who uses them and the iiian who lives adjacent to them. . New Jersey Commissioner of Public llt-ads: Bad roads are costing many a farmer much of the self-respect he feels when driving along a good road at a good pace, with clean buggy, elean harness and a clean horse. J. A. Mount, ex-Governor of Indiana: The man who lives surrounded with good highways, who sees a good turn­ out’ going by, driving rapidly, with handsomely dressed people in the con­ veyance, will think more quickly, has more pride and is apt to catch inspira­ tion and become more actire and progressive. W. W. Pendergast: To sum up, a per­ fect liighway is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. It blesses every home by which it passes. It brings into pleasant communion people who other­ wise would have remained at a per­ petual distance. It awakens emulation, cements friendships and adds new charm to social life. It makes the region it traverses more attractive, the residences more delightful; it stimu­ lates Si spirit of genial improveinest. Fields begin to look tidier, shabby fences disappear, gardens grow fewer weeds, lawns are better kept, the houses seem cosier, trees are planted along its borders, birds fill the air with music, the world seems brighter and the atmosphere purer. The coun­ try is awake, patriotism revives, phil­ anthropy blossoms as selfishness fades and sinks from view. The school- house and the church feel the magic influence—the wand of progress has touched even them; the old are young again, the young see something new to live for, and to all life seems worth the living. The daily mail reaches each home. The rural cosmopolitan “feels the daily pulse of the world.” Wheelmen are no longer confined to the cities. Bicycles, now within reach of all, are no strangers among farm­ ers. Tlie golden days of which the poets long have sung are upon them. The dreams of the past are coming true. Nothing can thwart the will of fate. Put your ear to the ground even now and you will hear the footfalls of the “good time coming.” . Great Cost of Hauling:. There is gradually transpiring a greater intelligence as to the value of good roads. Government experiments show that in the South the average cost of hauling a ton a mile is twenty- five cents, that the- average length of haul to market is twelve and one-half miles, therefore it costs the Southern farmer on the average $3.12 to haul a ton of stuff. Now, if a farmer hauls twelve tons of stuff to each horse worked on the farm, and runs, say, a five-horse farm, his hauling for the year will cost $187, a much'larger smu than he is likely to suspect. Government calculations, based on census reports, reveal the astounding fact that the hauling connected with farming operations costs one-fourth the home value of the produce raised on the farm. The Coahuila aud Pacific UaIIroad Company (an American property) lias completed its lint’ from Saltiilo to Tor- -reon, thus giving "Saltillo—-the capital of the State CTCoahuita—n second con uection by rail with '.Iie UniteG States.* King’s Head Replaces Boer Legend —Orange River Coat of Arms. While peace negotiations were pending in South Africa, the new colonial government went ahead just as if the war was over and the terri­ tory already at peace. The Trans­ vaal government issued a set of post­ age stamps, which are in great de­ mand by collectors. There are ten va­ rieties, each of a different color, rang­ ing in price from one cent to 52.50. AU of the stamps hear the head of King Edward, facing to the left, in an oval within a finely beaded frame, in gray black. Above the head is a crown and at the foot the word ‘Transvaal.” The one-cent stamps, are a bluish-green, and. the colors of the others range from a scarlet to orange, olive green and purple. The British Colonial OHce, mean­ time, is considering a new coat of arms design by Lockwood Kipling, father of the poet and novelist, for the new Orange River Colony, which was formerly the Orange Free State. The coat of arms consists of a plain heraldic shield hearing an orange tree and above it a Tudor rose; on the ground are waved lines, the symbol of water, typiiying the name Bloemfon­ tein. Two springboks support the shield. Gondolas on the Thames. Gondolas on the. Thames are some­ times referred to as novelties; but they were already there in the reign of Charles II. “Upon the Thames,” says Pepys, in 1661, “I saw the king's new pleasure boat, and also two gwn- daloes that are lately brought, which are very rich and fine.” This was how gondolas were then written; and another testimony of their presence may be found in Davenant’s expres­ sion: “Step into one of your peascod boats, whose tilts are not so sump­ tuous as the roofs of the gundaloes.” The latest importer of a gondola to the Thames has imported with it from Venice a gondolier, who—as is con­ venient in a climate that does not allow river work for a great part of the year—is also something oi' a cook. Five years ago there was only one gondola on the Thames; but now the number is increased, thus fulfilling the program of the economical coun­ cillor in a provincial town, who. on the proposal that a gondola should be placed on the municipal ornamental water, suggested that the town shoulci acquire a pair anti let them breed,— London Chronicle. , THERVOUS PROSTBATIOfi !

It’s bad enough for the dirt and slime vender of the Journal office to put- our name in his dirty little advertising circular, but for him I o say that we are the editor of the Davie Times, adds insult to injury. We see it stated in the Rich­ mond Va. Times that it’s thought most of the Metliodist preachers would be disfrauceised under the constitution.

AVe have tried for a long while to get him to give the people a peep in­ to the inside, but two or three months schools in Davie don’t sound well. A. H, Price and Prof. Britt spoke to about 150 at Cooleemee Saturday uight. Both speeches were well received. The crowd was not as large as could be de­ sired, bnt good results will follow. If the speech of a certain gentle­ man is reported correctly, at Sat­ urday’s convention, the corpse of the poor negro was resurrected in regular Democratic style, and re­ hashed to an appreciative Demo­ cratic audience. In speaking of the 500 “Niggers” in Davie Coun­ ty said gentleman is reported to have said, “that were he registrar, durn few of them would be regis­ tered,” Why certainly, who thought otherwise I But they can’t get- away from “Nigger.” His Life In Peril. “I just seemed to have gone all to pieces,” writes Alfred Bee, of WelfareTex.. “biliousness and a lame back had made my life a bur­ den.

MISREPRESENTATION.' “Cap. and Elex seemed to domi­ nate, and when theve was any doubt as to one of the favorites go­ ing through, one of them made his little speech and all was lovely af- tti that.”—DavieTimes. We publish the above that the people of Davie county maj see to what straights those who wish to misrepresent us a‘re in, This cam­ paign cun be fought out here in Davie without misrepresentation on the part o( any one. Our Demo­ cratic iiiends have said so much about fideral office holders run­ ning the Republican < o iventions, that we, a federal office-holder, did not participate in the caucus here on last Mouday, but we know some thing about what was done in that cauens, although we were not in it. Every RepiiliIican who atten­ ded the caucus had a vote for his choice, and as for W. A. and 0. Bailey dominating it. it’s a false­ hood out of the whole. cloth. W. A and O. G, Bailey were nomi­ nated for Commissioners over their protest; neither wanted it, but the Republicans of Davie County want­ ed them, and said so. AYe will draiv a contrast between the two conventions. For twenty years the Democrats have been out. of power in this county, and Sat­ urday you could see by their ac­ tions that there was a great pash among the rival candidates for a seat at the pie counter. While it’s au empty honor to lead the Demo­ cratic contingent in this county, but the thought of success brought out a number of candidates. The people in this county know wl.o has dominated Democratic conven­ tions for years, and we expect if you would put your ear to the ground y- u could hear some of t! e faithful pouring out their vials of wrath against the Dominator. •‘Now iu answer to what the Times has to say about its ticket for Giiunty Gummissiouers . not lieius cratic office-seekers. AVe recognize the fact that each and every man should bear his proportionate share of the public burdens by the prompt payment of his taxes, but we coudemn the Democratic party for the enact­ ment of a law requiring, as a pre­ requisite to voting, the payment of a poll-tax six months prior to the "election, by the operations of which thirty-thousand white men in North Carolina stand to-day dis­ franchised. That it is the sense of this con­ vention that the Chuirmiin of the Seveuth District Republican Ex­ ecutive Committee should at once confer with the Oommittie relative to the advisability of calling a canventiou to nominate, or other­ wise place iu the field,*a Republi­ can candidate Ioi Congress in the Seventh District, and that it is the sense of this convention that the Republicans of ihis District should have a Republican candidate to vote for at the coming election, M.

The ma­ jority of the old Board were nomi­ nated, and we defy the Times or any other Democrat to show that they have uot. honestly and econ­ omically administered the County finances. They have reduced the county’ debt of forty thousand dol- Iats placed upon the county by a Democratic board at "least half since their-incmnbancy, and at the same time have paid all the conn ty claims at 100 cents on the dol Iar and have reduced the iate of taxation from year" to year.

We are willing to meet the gentlemen representing the coal operators to try to adjust our differences among our­ selves. If we cannot adjust them that way, Mr. President, we are willing that you shall name a tribunal who shall de­ termine the issues that have resulted in the strike and if the gentlemen rep­ resenting the operators will accept the award or decision of such a tribunal, the miners will willingly accept it, even if it is against their claims.” The President: “Before considering what ought to be done, I think it only just to both of you—both sides—and desirable from my standpoint that you should have time to consider what I have stated as to the reason for my getting you together, and I shall tres­ pass so far upon your good nature as to ask that this interview cease now, and that you come back at 3 o’clock. I GETS A NEW TRIAL Supreme Court Hands Down Opinion in Wilcox Case. MONTGOMERY WRITES OPINION. Justice Clark W rites a Concurrent Opinion—Disturbances at Trial In Elizabeth City Sufficient Grounds. Washington, Special.—The great coal fconference between the President and representatives of the operators and the miners, came to an end at the tem­porary White House, facing Lafayette Square, at 4:55 o’clock Friday after­ noon, with a failure to roach an agree­ ment. Apparently the rock upon which the conference split was recognition of the miners’ union. The President had urged the contending parties to cease strife in the interests of the public wel­fare; the miners, through the president of their union, had expressed a wil­ lingness to submit differences to th arbitration of a tribunal to be named by the President and to enter into an agreement to abide by the terms fixed by the arbitration for a period of from one to five years, and the employers, through the presidents of the railroad and coal companies, and a leading inde pendent mine operator, had squarely refused arbitration, had denounced the miners’ labor organization as a lawless and anarchistic body, with which they could and would have, no dealings; had demanded Federal troops to ensure complete protection to workers and their families in the mining region and court proceedings against the miners’ union, and had offered, if the men r turned to work, to submit grievances at individual collieries to the decision of the judges of the Court of Common Pleas for the district of Pennsylvania, in which the colliery was located. There the matter closed. It was a remarkable chapter in the economical history of the country that was written. For the first time the President of the republic had inter­ vened directly between the great forces of capital and labor in an effort to avert what he himself regarded as a groat controversy face to face with the whole country eagerly intent upon and watch­ ful of their doings. Technically, the issues between the two great forces stand as they did before the President summoned the representatives of the contending forces to the national cap­ ital, and forgetting bis own acute suf­ fering besought them for love of the country wherein they dwelt and out of pity for the countless throng of suffer­ ing poor, to adjust their differences and work together in peace for the Com­monwealth. What, if anything, will re­ sult from the conference is for the in definite future. The conference opened a few minutes after 11 o’clock and two sessions were held. The immediate parties to the strike say they will continue as heretofore. What course the administration will take next no one is prepared to say. One of the operators, as he left the White House with closely set jaw, was asked regarding this and replied: “If any one knows what the President will do not, that is more than I know.: Fourteen men, including the Presi­ dent, were in the second story in the room at the temporary White House during the momentous conference. President Mitchell and three of his dis­ trict leaders represented the miner, and five railroad men and one inde­ pendent mine operator the employers. With the Presidentwere Attorney Gen­eral Knox, Commissioner of Labor Wright and Secretary Cortelyou. AU the cabinet, save Attoimey General Knox, kept aloof during the conference, but between the two meetings and af­ terward several of the President’s ad­ visers called upon him to talk over the situation. What took place at the meei ing is set out in ample statements made by each side and given out to the press by themselves and also officially at the White House. During the conforence the President listened to both sides with the greates! eagerness. Immediately after its ad­ journment, his physicians, Surgeon General Rixey and Dr. Lung, insisted on making an examination of his ana redressing it. Apparently no ill effects had resulted from the excitement of the day, and at a later fir * 8 o’clock, Br. Lung announcedthat the President’s condition was sat­isfactory. The President’s statement is as fol­lows: , "I ''!islJ to call your attention to the fact that there are three parties af­ fected by the situation in the anthra­ cite trades—the operators, the miners and the general public. I sneak for I M i I i e r ir,e operators nor the miners, hut for the general public. The ques­ tions at issue which led to the trouble oetiveen the operators and the miners and the situation itself vitally affects the public. As long as there seemed to be a reasonable hope that these mat­ ters could be adjusted between thm it rod not seem proper to me to inter­ vene. I disclaim any right or duty to intervene w this way upon legal grounds or upon any ground other than on account of the nature of the catas­ trophe to a large portion of our people in the -winter fuel famine, which is staring us in the face, I believe that my duty requires me to use whatever influence I personally can to bring to an enn a situation whic has become Iit- erally intolerable. I wish to emphasize the character of the situation and to say that its gravity is such that I am constrained urgently to insist that each one of you realize the heavy burden of responsibility upon you. We are upon the threshold of winter with an already existing; coal famine, the future terors of which we can hardly yet appreciate the evil possibilities are so far reach­ing so appalling, that it seems to me that you are not only justified in sink­ ing, but required to sink, for the time auy tenacity as to your respective claims m the matter.’ It is my judg­ ment that the situation requires that you open the common plane of the ne­ cessities of the public. With all the earnestness there is in me I ask that • tne/e ce an imaeaiate rosuinct'on of operations in the coal mines in some such way as will without any neces­ sary delay meet the crying need of the people. I do not invite a discussion oi youi respective claims. I appeal to youi patriotism, to the spirit that sinks - personal considerations and makes in­ dividuals saci iiice for the general good. Upon the completion of the Presi- dent’s remarks, Mr. Mitchell made a statement as follows: Mi. President. I am much inmpress- ed with what you say. I am much im­pressed with the gravity of the situa­ tion. We feel that we are not respon- should 'like you to think over what I have stated, not to decide now, but give it careful thought and return at 3 o’clock.The conference then adjourned until 3 o’clock. Upon re-assembling, Mr. Baer spoke as follows:Mr. President: Do we understand you correctly that we will be expected to answer the proposition submitted by Mr. Mitchell this morning?” The President: “it will be a pleasure to me to hear any answer that you are willing to make.”Mr. Baer: “I have prepared an an­ swer.”The President then asked Mr. Mitch­ ell of he had anything further to say.Mr. Mitchell said: “The charge made by the gentlemen that 20 murders have been committed in the anthracite coal .cgions during the present strike is un­ true. If they will name tho men and will show that they have committed the murders, I will resign my position. That is a fair proposition. Mr. Presi­ dent, that is a fair example of how our organization and our people are ma­ ligned. The truth of the matter is, as far as I know, there have been seven deaths unfortunately. No one regrets them more than I do. Three of them were committed by the coal and iron police and no one else has been charged with them. God knows the miners do not escape being charged with every­ thing done there. They speak about burnings. There was a reward offered for burnings. I can bring affidavits of a hundred people if necessary .that ihe lightning caused one burning that they charged to the United Mine Workers. Mr. President, I have admitted on more than ono occasion that there has been some lawlessness, but I will say that a largo portion of such lawlessness has been provoked by criminals who have been brought into the anthracite gions to recruit the iron and coal po­ lice. I want to say, Mr. President, that I foel very keenly the attacks made upon me and my people, but I came here with the intention of doing noth­ ing and saying nothing that would af­ fect conciliation.” The President then asked the repre­ sentatives of the anthracite companies whether they would accept Mr. Mitch­ell’s proposition. They answered “No.” In response to a future question from the President they stated that they would have no dealings whatever with Mr. Mitchell, looking toward a settle­ ment of the question at issue, and that they had no other proposition to make save what was contained in the state­ ment of Mr. Baer, which, in effect, that if any man chose to resume work and had a difficulty with his employer both should leave the settlement of the question to the judge of the Court of Common Pleas of the district in which the mine was located. About 5 o'clock the conference was broken up. HIS GWN GRANDFATHER. TWO STATEMENTS GIVEN OUT. Just How He Became So is Not Quite Clear, But He Did Finally. "I know of at least one curious case of curious intermarriage where a young man became his own grand­ father,” said a man who is fond of the novel In life, “and it is rather a simple thing when you come to think of it. Father and son were living together in a remote section of Arkansas. The old man was a widower. Not far from where they lived was a widow and her daughter. The old man wooed and won the daughter, and finally married her. In the meantime the son had been making soft speeches to the wid­ ow, and they were married about the same time. "The young man thus became the father-in-law of his own father, and yet his father’s wife was his step­ mother, but as he was his father’s son Uis wife became the stepdaughter of her own child. In ,course of time the children of the old man and the daugh­ ter became the grandchildren of the vrfdow and the son. The sons and daughters of the son and the widow were brothers and sisters, by marriage, of the children thus bom to the old man and the daughter. The father's wife was the mother-in-law of her own mother, and her children, being ..he brothers and sisters of her hus­ band’s son, who was also her mother’s husband, not only made his wife his grandmother, but placed him in the position of being his own grandfather. "His father, becoming his son-in-law, his father’s children, who were his brothers and sisters, became also his grandchildren, because they were the children of his wife’s daughter. The children of the two marriages became doubly stepbrothers and sisters, and uncles and aunts and nephews and nieces of each other. I never under­ took to figure the thing out any fur­ ther than this, and to tell the truth I get mixed up every time I think about the matter, and I am not cer­ tain about but one thing, and that is that the Gon became his own grand­ father in due course of time”—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Tried for Not Going to Church. A book, of forms, supposed to be a hundred years old, written probably by some former clerk of the coart, has been discovered in the clerk’s of­ fice of the Corporation Court, Lynch­ burg, Va., says the Richmond Des­ patch of June 28. Among the orders appeared the following: “Judgment on a presentment of the grand jury for not going to church. “W. B., who stands presented to the grand jury for absenting himself from his parish church, having been this day fully heard (or having been duly summoned) and not appearing, tho’ solemnly called, it is considered by the court that for the said offense he forfeit and pay to the church war­ dens of B. parish, where the offense was committed, five shillings or fifty pounds of tobacco to the use of the poor of the said parish. And that he pay the costs of this prosecution and may be taken, etc.” Raleigh, N. C., Special-The Supreme Court Tuesday gave Jas- Wilcox, con­ victed of the murder of Nellie Cropsey, at Elizabeth City, a now trial. The opinion in the case is written by Jus­ tice Montgomery. There is a concur­ ring opinion by Justice Clark. The leading opinions in full follow: No person ought to be taken or dis­ seized of his household liberties or privileges or outlawed or exiled or in any manner deprived of his life, lib­ erty or property but by the law of the land. And that provision of our State constitution applies as veil to proce­ dure and manner of trial in our courts of justice as to principles of law which underline our society. Under law all persons charged with crime are as much entitled to a fair and unpreju­ diced trial as they are to the protec­ tion of their persons, their property or their reputation. They have a right under the same constitution to have counsel for defense, and any willful in­ terruption of such counsel while con­ ducting such defense, intended to dis­ concert and embarrass, is mot only un­ lawful as obstructing and preventing a fair trial, but is deserving of the con­ demnation of all good citizens. In this case the prisoner was ar­ raigned for murder and was convicted of that crime in the first degree. The evidence wos entirely circumstantial, and while that character of evidence may, in its very nature, produce a high degree of moral certainty in its appli­ cation, yet it is never to be forgotten that it requires the greatest degree of caution and vigilance in its applica­ tion. In reading the records in this case; it hardly seems possible that the jury could have given that cautious and vigilant attention to the evidence which the law requires of them, or to a presentation of the prisoner’s case to them by his counsel that thought which the importance of the case de­ manded. In their immediate presence, 100 porsons in their deliberate purpose to prejudice the rights of the prisoner, committed a great wrong against the Commonwealth, and contempt of court. On the outside of the court house great improperties took place for the purpose of prejudicing the pris­ oner with the jury. No such demon­ strations were ever witnessed in onr Slate before, and for the honor of the Commonwealth, such ought not to be repeated.In the statement of the case by his honor, he said: “After the evidence was all in, and while one of the coun­ sel was making the closing argument for the prisoner, about 100 people being about one-fcurth of those pres­ ent in the court room, as if by concert, left the room. Soon thereafter, while the same counsel was addressing the jury, the Are alarm was given near the court house, which caused a number of other persons to leave the court room. The court is of the opinion, and so finds the fact, that these demonstra­tions wore made for the purpose of breaking the force of the counsel's ar­ gument. But the court does not find that the jury were influenced thereby. There is no motion made by the pris­ oner to set the verdict aside in conse­ quence of said conduct.” Sufficient excuse was made here by counsel for the prisoner for failure to make a motion for a new trial in the court below to justify the Attorney General in consenting to the agreement to consider the motion as having been entered at the proper time, which he did. In such a case as this it is not indispensable that the finding by his honor that the jury had been uninflu­ enced by the conduct of the offend ers should have been made. The dis orderly proceedings assumed such pro portions as to warrant this court in de­ claring that the trial was not conduct­ ed according to law. The propriety of our ruling is strengthened by the cir­ cumstances that contempt proceedings were not commenced against those of­ fending, and that no motion was made to Eet the verdict aside and dor a new trial after such unheard-of demonstra tious. Counsel for the prisoner, in hi 3 argument here, in response to a ques­ tion, stated that if the verdict had been set aside the prisoner would have met a violent death on the instant. The prisoner must not only be tried according to the forms of law, these forms being included in the expression “law of the land,” but his trial must be unattended by such influences and such demonstrations of lawlessness and intimidation as were present on the former occasion. Court must stand for civilization, for proper administra­ tion of law is orderly proceedings. There must be a new trial in this case. The following is Judge Clark's con­currence of opinion: “The judge having found as fact that the demonstration within and without the court room were made for the purpose of breaking the force of counsel’s argument, the magnitude and nature of those demonstrations were such as to require a new trial. The ad­ ministration of justice must not only be fair and unbiased, but it must bo abve any just suspicion of any influence save that credit which the jury shall give to the evidence before them. It is of vital importance to the public wel­ fare that decisions of courts of justice shall command respect, but this will be impossible of there is ground to believe that extraneous influence, Cf any kind whatever, has been brought to bear ” Street car Strike Still Holds. New Orleans, Special.—Tuesday’s conditions of the strike of the em­ ployes of the New Orleans Railway Company, inaugurated Sunday, as con­ sidered by the peace authorities, were satisfactory. No difficulties occurred, being due, it is believed, to the fact that no effort was made to move any cars other than those carrying the mails. Several mall cars delivered mail to the sub-stations without diffi­ culty in the quarter below Canal street. On the lines receiving power from the Arabella barn, nothing could be done with mail cars on account of trouble on the wires. Both Sides to the Disagreement Are Still Firm. Washington, Special.—Tlie state­ ments to the President were made in the following order: President Baert of the Reading Railroad; President Mitchell, of the TJnited Mine V/orkers; President Thomas, of the Erie road; Mr. MarkJey, an independent oper­ ator; President Trusdale, cf the Lack­ awanna road; Mr. Wilcox, vice presi­ dent and general counsel, cf the Dela­ ware & Hudson road; Mr-. Fowler, of the New York. Ontario S Yvestern road. The statement by George N. Baer, president of the Pveading road says: “You distinctly say that you ‘do not invite the discussion of your respec­ tive claims and. positions.* But we as­ sume that a statement of what is go- g on in the coal regions will not ,be irrelevant. We represent the owners of coal mines in Pennsylvania. There from 15,000 to 20.000 men at work mining and preparing coal. They are abused, assaulted, injured and mal­ treated by the United Mine Workers. They can only work under the protec­ tion of armed guards. Thousands of other workmen are deterred from working by the intimidation, violence and crimes inaugurated by the United Mine Workers, over whom John Mitchell, whom you invited to meet you. is chief. I need not picture the daily crimes committed by the do­ mestic tranquility’ which every con­stitution declares is the chief object of government does not exist in the coal regions. There is a terrible region lawlessness and crime there. The constitution of Pennsylvania guaran­ tees protection to our property. In ex­ press terms it declares the right of acquiring, possessing and defending property to be inalienable. When riot and anarchy, to great to be appeased by the civil power, occur, the govern­ ment of Pennsylvania is bound to call out the State troops to suppress it. He has sent troops to the coal regions. Gradually the power of the law is as­ serting itself. Unless encouraged by false hopes, order will soon be re­ stored, and then we can mine coal to meet the public wants. Ifrthe power of Pennsylvania is insufficient to re­ establish the region Gf law, the con­ stitution of the United States re­ quires the President, when requested the legislature and Governor to suppress domestic violence.’ You see Ciiere is a lawful way to secure coal for the public. “The duty of the hour is not to waste time negotiating with the fomenterg of this anarchy and insolent defiance of law, but to do as was done in the war of the rebellion, restore the majesty of the law, the only guardian cf a free people, and to re-establish order and peace at any cost.'We decline to accept Mr. Mitcheiys offer to let our men work on the terms he names. He has no right to come from Illinois to dictate terms on thl acceptance of which anarchy and strife shall cease in Pennsylvania. W e shall stop his people from killing, maiming and abusing Pennsylvania citizens and from destroying property. He must stop it, because it is unlaw­ ful and not because of any bargain with us. “We will add to onr offer ‘to con­ tinue the wages existing at the time of the strike and to take up at each colliery and adjust any grievance,' this further condition—iprthe employ­ ers and employes at any particular colliery cannot reach a satisfactory adjustment of any alleged grievances, shall be referred to the judges of the Court of Common Pleas of the dis­ trict in which the colliery is situated for final determination.” The Miners’ Side. Washington, Special.—The follow­ ing is the text of the statement made to the President by the official repre­ sentatives of the miners’ unions: Washington, D. C., Oct. 3. Mr. President: At the conference this morning we, the accredited repre­sentatives of the anthracite coal mine vorkcrs were much impressed with the views you expressed and the dan­ gers to the welfare cf our country from a prolongation of the coal strike that you so clearly pointed out. Conscious of the responsibility resting upon us, conscious of our duty to society, con­ scious of our obligations to the 150,000 mine workers whom we have the hon­ or to represent, wc have after mo t careful consideration and with the hope of relieving the situation and averting the sufferings and hardships which would inevitably follow in the wake of a coal famine, decided to pro­ pose a resumption of coal mining upon the lines hereinafter suggested. ‘Before doing so, Mr. President, we desire to say we are not prompted to suggest this course bcause of any doubts of the justice of our claims. In deferring to your wishes, we are prompted by no fear on our part of onr ability to continue the contest to a suc­ cessful issue.* Thanks to the generous assistance rendered us by our fellow* workers in this and other lands, thanks to a justice-loving American public, whose sympathies are always on the side of right, we are able to con­ tinue the strike indefinitely. But, con­ fident of our ability to demonstrate to any impartial tribunal the equity o: our demands for higher wages and im­ proved environment, we propose that the issues culminating in the strike shall be referred to you and a tribuna 1 of your own selection, and agree to ac­ cept your award upon all, or any of the questions, involved. “If you will accept this responsible ty, and the representatives of the coal operators will signify their willingness to have your decision incorporated in an agreement, for not less than one year, or more than five years, as may be determined between themselves and the anthracite coal mine workers, and will pay the scale of wages which you and the tribunal appointed by you shall award, wc will immediately call a convention and recommend a re­ sumption of work, upon the under­ standing that the wages which shall be paid are to go into effect from the day upon which work is resumed. “Very respectfully yours. “John Mitchell, President U. M. W. of A.; John Fahey, John Duifcyt D. D. . Nichols, district presidents.” COLER NOMINATED. New York Democrats Name the State Ticket. THE SLATE REMAINS UNBROKEN STRIKE TALK AT WRITE HOUSE.

Special—A conven­ tion so sarenuous in its final hours as to bring almost personal conflict, and yet terminating in such P^toct har- mony as to allow the completion ot the State ticket with less than a hun­ dred delegates out of 450 in the was the result of the closing It Lgan Democratic State convention I t began ton earlv morning witn a prepareu slate of candidates The ^ t e was M t broken in any particular, but the rUht of objection to it was given to aU the delegates except when, in the ca-ei or one New York delegate, il'vasbeUtved to be an infringement of the rules under which the convention was acting. The ticket nominated follows. Go ernor, bird S. Color, Brooklyn Lieu­tenant Governor, Charles N. Bulger o Oswego; Secretary of otate,^ Tar Mott, of Chatauqua; Comptroller, Chas. M. Preston, of Ulster; Attorney Gen­ eral. John Cunneen, of Eile; State v-n gineer and Surveyor, Richard W. Sher­ man, of Oneida; State Treasurer, Geo. R. Finch, of Warren; Associate Judgo of* the Court of Appeals, John C. Gray, of New York. . , ,Naturally a great deal of the interest In the convention centred in the atil- tude it would take toward the seating of Wm. S. Devery, former head of the police department of New York, who held a regular certificate of election from the ninth district. It was not an unexpected event that the convention decided to unseat him, and it was not sc unexpected that he and his follow­ ers were vociferous in their objec­ tions. So thoroughly had Mr. Dcvery made up his mind that the convention would have none of him that he did no. at­ tend the meeting of the committee on credentials but spent the earlier hours of the morning in the rear of the con­ vention hall among his alternates. When the convention decided to adopt the rouort of the committee by the vote of 422 to 211, then Mr. Devery walked out of the convention after being al­ lowed to declare hi*iself a good Demo­ crat, and proceeded to hold a mass- meeting on the stops of the United States Hotel.

Washington, Special. — President Rnpsevelt has decided to make an ef­ fort te<ge? the anthracite coal mine ownersmnd their striking employes to- ge&er Th the interest of the public 'good: This conclusion was reached after a serf os of conferences with his cabi­ net advisdriS. The decision was arrived at when -.the lawyers of the cabinet in­ formed tho President that there was no way under the constitution and form og government of the United States for Federal intervention to end the strike. Every phase of the situation waa can­ vassed and the dotermiantion to have the mine operators' and President Mitchell meet the President was reaeh- when it was found that no other method was open.At the conclusion of the conference which was attended by Secretaries Root, Shaw and Moody, Attorney Gen­ eral Knox and Postmaster Genera! Payne, at the temporary White House, the following telegrams were made public:“White House, Washington, Oct. I To George F. Baer, President Reading Iiailroad System, Philadelphia; W. H. Truesdale, Delware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad, New York: E. B. Thomas, Chairman of the Board Erie Railroad Company, New York; R. M. Olyphant, President Delaware & Hudson Company, New York; John Markle, New York: “I should greatly like to see you on Friday next, October 3, at 11 o’clock here in Washington, in regard to the failure of tho coal supply which has be­ come a matter of vital concern to the wbo'.e nation. I have sent a similar dis­ patch to Mr. John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers. “THEODORE ROOSEVELT.” John Mitchell, President United Mine VJorkors of America, Wilkesbarre. Pa.: “I should greatly like to see you Fri­day next, October 3, at 11 o’clock, a. m., here in Washington In regard to the failure of the coal supply, which has become a matter of vital concern to the whole nation. I have sent a simi­ lar dispatch to the presidents of the anthracite coal companies. “THEODORE ROOSEVELT.” ascertain what, if anything, ...done by Federal authorities to settle the coal strike. The result was a rather general expression of opinion by the advisers of tne President to toe effect that the Federal laws and con­ stitution did not afford means of Fed- interference to end the BtiiKwv but another conference will be held and the President will do all-.he can to properly and legally bring about a settlement. _At the temporary W bite House a conference was held with throe cabi­ net officers, Attornvy General Knox, Secretary Moody and Postmaster Gen­eral Payne. Governor Crane, of Ma-,- sachusetts, was also present. Tbese gentlemen mot with President Roose­ velt first and after tho subject had been considered for some -ime, they adjourned to another room and con­ ferred together for an hour. They all returned later in the day* and held another conference with the Presi­ dent and the strike situation was dis­ cussed further.President Roosevelt is ueeply con­ cerned over the situation. The ap­ proach of winter, with a coal famine imminent and the distress and suffer­ ing that must ensue unless coal be­ comes available, presents a situation which he thinks should receive the at­ tention of the administration if there is anything that can be done by tho government. Many appeals have been made to him and 'many suggestions have been received by him and it was with a view to ascertaining what power the Federal authority could evoke that caused the conference to be held.During the conference every phaze of the situation was discussed. The general oninion of the advisers of the President was that the situation did not present a case In which there could be Federal interference by any warrant of law. There has been no in­ terference with Federal authority in the mining region either by stoppage of the mails or resistance of United States Court process. It wa3 pointed out that there was no occasion for the use of Federal troops, as Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania, had not called on the government for assistance, nor had he even exhausted the resources of the State by calling out the full strength of the State militia. The question of the right to seek appoint­ment of receivers for the mines in order that they might be operated was discussed, but neither in the constitu­ tion nor in any known law could any legal warrant be found for such ac­ tion though the discussion on such lines went so far as the consideration of how the properties could be re­ linquished and control surrendered af­ ter the object of supplying coal had been accomplished, assuming the Fed­ eral government could intervene through receivers. The tenor of the whole discussion was to the effect that there was a lack of power in the Federal administration to take any action at the present stage of the strike, although the seriousness of the coal famine now and the much greater evils soon to follow were con­ sidered at length and with the wish to discover some method of eiulin the industrial deadlock.Governor Crane’s presence natur­ ally brought into prominence the pro­ ceedings begun in the Massachusetts courts to secure the appointment of receivers for the coal properties, but the opinion was expressed that the situation could not be met success fully by this method.

New York, Special.—In financial dif­ ficulty, as a result of the coal strike, Henry C. Scheel, a coal merchant of this city, tried to kill himself by shoot ing. The doctors Say there is little hope for him. Mr. Scheel is 45 years old. He lives with his wife and three children in a handsome residence and has been generally thought to be pros- perous. A relative of Mr. Scheel said he had a large sum of money—about $200,000—tied up in litigation and that his business was his source of revenue. The disturbance in the coal market had affected his business seriously, causing him to become despondent. Stage Coach Robbed. Middletown, N.

But in the course of our imports there was a corresponding wrecking of theo­ ries to consume their economic souls, for, strangely enough, not only did the tariff wall not shut out the foreigners, but there was a larger buying of their products by the American people. From 1S94 to 1S97 our merchandise imports ranged from $401,000,000 to $464,000,- 000. But in 1900 they were $503,000,- 000, and again, ia 1901, $506,000,000. And now we come to a comparison still more disturbing to the theorists. In 1902 our imports swelled to $535,548,- 332! A7OW1 according to all the rules of the game of international trade ex­ change, as expounded by the American free traders, a largely increased buying by the United States from foreigners must of necessity produce a largely in­ creased buying by them from the Uni­ ted States, for it is a dream which they never get over dreaming that, if we buy from them whether or not we need what they have to sell, or whether we have it to sell, or whether they have the means to buy it. Now what, in fact, happened in 1902 when our mer­ chandise imports had risen to $535,500,- 000 from $421,000,000 In 1S9C and $401,- 000,000 in 18947 In 1902 our foreign sales of merchan­ dise fell from $S31,000,000 to $727,000,- 000—more than a hundred millions! Of course, we know why; that is, that portion of the American people whose heads are not stuffed with theo­ ries that a act cannot be squeezed into their company, knows why. For the truth is that, the foreigners, under tariff or any other conditions, will bny from us only when we offer them the best terms as to price and supply, for exports, regardless Cf tariff or any other consideration, fell off last year, because our crop failures produced a condition which.jajji.some commodities, as corn, left us IfoibiDg to sell abroad and whicMji sthers%int the price up to a IcV-Oj where the foreigners did not want them on those terms^ Likefrise with our purchases. Pro­ vided we havfe the money we buy from anybody that gffers us what we need, whether or not that tradesman buys from us. Witness, again, our heavy purchases of coffee from Brazil, which takes a trifle in exchange from us, and from Cuba, which llnds its market for sugar here, but which supplies most of Its own wants Uv Europe, because it :».ts more favorable terms there both as to actual prices and as to credits, discounts, c-tc. Trhde and barter will always buy from him who will sell at the lowest and sell to him who will pay the* high­ est, irrespective of all other conditions and considerations. When we have something which we can market in the world at lower figures than anybody else we can outsell and out-trade any­ body else, whether we have a towering tariff wall in front of us or whether we are sitting on a flat free trade plain. When, from crop failure or any other cause, we are compelled to ask more for that article than anybody else asks for it ho will outsell and out-trade us, whether we arc buying from the possi­ ble customer or not. Witness 1902. We bought more abroad. We sold less. We bought more because we wanted it and had the money to pay for it. and conld get it for less than we could at home. We sold less because our prices werit up, and not a bit did our foreign friends who were exchanging with us care, so far as his purchnses were con­ cerned, that we were buying from 1 hem. They went and bought from somebody who gave them better prices, fet the tariff does piay an important part In this buying and selling abroad, (hough not in the manner the free rradc theorists would have us believe. Before a man, a community and a na­ tion can buy anything at home or abroad they must have the means with which to buy. The American tariff, system, putting all our own people to work and multiplying the purchasing power of the United States by a steady and vastly increased wage and profit stream pouring into the home market, gave us the means to buy not only here in our own country.- but abroad and every w here. In I SM we had no tariff wall, biif we. bad «■» menus to buy more than 3100.0XM'Tb of commodities from abroad.

EXPORT PRICES. Sum e GMd Keazons For G ranting D1«k counts on Sales In Foreign Countries. Volume X III of. the Report of ihe In­ dustrial Commission tabulates 410 re­ plies received by the commission bear­ ing on the question of foreign and do­ mestic prices. The report says: “The great majority of the answers indi­ cated that prices are no lower abroad than they are for domestic consumers, and a considerable number indicate that foreign prices are higher.” A few, however, state that they sell a portion of their goods abroad lower thau at home, and the reasons are as follows: “Casb payments and large purchases in the foreign trade, whereas the do­ mestic trade is based on credits and small purchases. “The drawback or rebate of the tariff on imported raw material of goods manufactured for export. “To overcome the tariff of other countries. “To secure new markets. “To hold a market agaiust new com­ petitors. “To clear out surplus stock or to pre­ vent a shut down and increased cost of production by keeping mills running and men employed. “To get rid of all samples and out- of-date goods. . “Because the expense of selling and advertising is less abroad thau at home.” These are the reasons attributed by manufacturers of all countries for sometimes selling a part of their stock at a lower price abroad thau at home. It causes no injury to the domestic con­ sumer and gives added employment and wages to laborers, besides keeping the home market firm and stable and preventing ruinous competition in cut­ ting prices. There is another reason why some American manufacturers sometimes sell a portion of their goods at a lower price abroad, and perhaps the chief reason. Most of our machinery or arti­ cles produced by machinery are cov­ ered by jmtenls which ai*e exclusively controlled and operated in this coun­ try. For example, take agricultural implements. It can be shown that where such articles are sold more cheaply abroad than.at home it is be­ cause of patents. If not covered by foreign patents It is obviously the pol­ icy to sell In foreign countries at a price that will discourage production in those countries. And yet of the manufacturers of agricultural implements reporting to the Indusbrial Commission, all, with only one exception, stated that prices to foreign purchasers are either higher or no lower than those for domestic purchasers. Not one per cent, of our output is sold at a lower price abroad and only for some special reason con­ nected with that particular consign­ ment.

The Biitoliere and the Tariff. -A few days ago the butchers, in con­ vention assembled, declared in favor of abolishing tlie tariff on cattle and meat to the end that this supposed shelter for tbe alleged meat trust might be re­ moved, but I am disposed to tliinlc the good farmers of my Stato would vote unanimously against such an experi­ ment. By the trend of the speeches made at the butchers* convention I dis­ cover a sentiment well nigh universally expressed there that meat is boiug mo* McpoJized by the great packers. But I happen to liave a tenant cut in Iowa who lias a fine bunch of cattle, on which no packer holds a lien of any kind, and he writes me that he is will­ ing to sell them to butchers if thc-y will pay as much as the packers offer. I am quite sure the people would as soon buy this meat of the butchers as of the packers. Thus there is aiTerded a splendid opportunity for any one to make all kinds of money if he will but give the farmer as much money for his beeves and give the people as much beef for their money.—Secretary ShaW, at MorrisvUle, Vt., August 10, 1002.

THE J P. SMITH CASE. The Davie Times in its issue of last week has right much 10 say about the J. P. Smith case, says $20.00 in gold has been put in the Bauk of Davie etc. Now the ques­ tion is jnat this. Mr. Smith ap­ plied for registration on Oct. 4th, he had paid his poll tax sis requir­ ed by law, aud the registrar has got to plead ignorance of the law, or that he did qot want to register him. Smithis a poor, illiterate white man and the registrar should have put his name on the registra­ tion book. Few of us can swear of onr own knowledge that our grand daddies voted prior to 1S67. for we don’t know it, but if he was a white man, and a citizen of the IT. S. the presumption is in our favor. These $20 gold pieces are not going to put the names of poor white men on the registration books The poll tax requirement has dig franchised thousands; so no need to put up 920 gold pieces at this time. Just tell your registrars Mr. Times, to put the names of all qualified voters on the bookB, and n ine others, and we are content. Mr. Simmons has already called down one ot your registrars for re­ fusing to register a negro because he misspelled divided—says he did wrong, Do the right and fair thiag and Republicans will be sat*, isfied.

Johnson, a well known and popu­ lar lawyer here had declared him­ self for Pritchard and Hill for the Senate and chief justiceship, when he had been couuted as solid in the Democratic ranks. Many mors were afloat and speculation was rife as to the cause that led him to take this stand. The Ob­ server correspondent had an inter­ view with Mr. Johnson and elici­ ted the following information on the subject: Mr. Johnson says he has eliminated all sentiment from his political feeliugB and finds that his convictions lead him to believe that Mr. Pritchard's re-election is for the best Interests of the State at large, and and that he was sim­ ply following his convictions in supporting him. That he had; known Judge Hill all his life, Iiv ing in Warren county, adjoining Halifox county, the home of Judge Hill. He had always looked upon him as being a good, honest, up right Christian gentleman, a. law. yer of the highest ability and uian in whom he had the utmost confidence, and feeling that he was the superior ot Judge Clark, he could not do otherwise than sup. port Judge Hill without straining conscience. In view of these facts he has the courrge to publicly d-; elare himself and will shortly take the stump in behalf of these gen­ tlemen and do all is his power for their election.

GovernorOdeII Gives Coal Operators a Well Deserved Roast. NEW YORK EXECUTIVE HITS HARD. Hs Tells fir. Baer That The Owners of the Hines Have Not Acted W ith ; Fairness to the Public. I' New York, Special.—“What do you mean by politicians? I want you and .all the o'tlier operators to understand that I am the (..overnor of New York, the chosen representative of 7,000,000 of people, and that I am here In this matter solely in that capacity and to relieve if possible an intolerable situ­ ation. And what’ is 1 more, I intend to use every power at my command to do i t ” Governor Odell made this state­ ment-to President Baer, of the Read­ ing Railroad, in the presence of United States Senators Platt, of Now Yor.t, and Quay and Penrose, of Pennsyl­ vania. It was the culmination of a rather heated interview in the office of Senator Platt and the result of the first meeting between Governor Odell and President Baer. Mr. Baer was not in the best of humor when, apcompa-. nied by E. B. Thomas, chairman of the board of directors of the Erie Rail- - road, he entered. Senator Platt’s office. The conference was begun by a state­ ment made by Senator Penrose that the situation was becoming so serious that some solution must be found at onco. He. suggested that operators should incline to some concessions to­ ward a settlement. "If yoa mean by that,” said President Baer, "that we are to recognize the existence of a la­ bor union, I tell you right now that the operators will consider no such proposition.” Governor Odell was on his feet in an instant .Holding a half burnt cigar in his hand and white with excitement, he said: “Are we to understand that no kind of conciliatory proposition will receive consideration at the hands of the op­erators?” •‘I did not say that,” answered Mr. Baer, “but I do say, and I reiterate it, that we will not accept political advice, or allow the interference of politicians in this, our affair.” Tljen It was that Governor Odell made the statement attributed to him at the beginning of this article. President Baer, evidently appreciat­ing that be had gone too far, bowed to Governor Odell and said: “Governor, I beg your pardon: No personal affront was intended and we will listen to any suggestion you may have to make; but again I repeat that we must refuse to recognize the union as represented by Mr. Mitchell."“I believe,” said the Governor^ Sfhat your position from a public view is ab­ solutely untenable. If coal operators, railroad men and other business men can combine for mutual profit and protection, there is no reason why la­ boring men should not.” “’What is the proposition?” asked Mr. Baer, coldly. ‘‘Just this," said Governor Odell. “I am sure that the labor organization, of which Mr. Mitchell is head, desires him to be fair with the general public. If the operators will consent to give the men five cents a ton increase, I will personally present it to the miners, and I believe, they will accept it. It is a fair proposition. “Does this mean, Governor Odell, that we are to recognize the miners’ union?” Mr. Baer asked. “It certainly does,” answered Gov­ ernor Odell, quickly, “and there is no reason why you should not.” Mr. Baer and Mr. Thomas rose to go, Mr. Thomas remarking that the mat­ter would be presented to the other op­ erators and that an early answer would be forthcoming. Mr. Baer said:. “We are to meet a committee of the Manu­ facturers’ Association on Tuesday and we may have an answer then.” The conference broke up, Mr. Baer and Mr. Thomas withdrawing. Sena­ tors Platt, Penrose and Quay talked over Gig matter for a short time and then they, too, separated, the two Pennsylvanians announcing that they would go back to Harrisburg and dis­ cuss the situation with Governor Stone, OUR WONDERFUL CROPS v _ Production of the Farms This Ycai Breaks AU Records, The country's grain yield this year will not only break all previous re­cords, but It also bids fair to estab­ lish a figure that it will be difficult for any fffture year to equal. Ifhe various crops have now jeached a stage where, they are practically safe from the vagaries of the weather, and where the reports of acreage and Conditions may be accepted as accurately indi­ cating the actual harvest.The corn CrBp will, of cOUrefe, sur­ pass all others in its Volume and Valuei The most Conservative esti­ mate places the yield at -2,495,OSltOOO busheis, Br practically 1,000,000,OO0 busheis larger than ItSt year. The first year in which the .'corn crop reached a total of 1,000,000,0 OP bushels was lStO. In only Six of the 32 years since than has the UctuaL corn har­ vest been in excess of '2,000,000,000 bushels. The present corn .crop will surpass all of these rflSBrfl-breaking years by -something like a quarter of a billion bushels. So much attention has been given to the enormous corn crop that the great yield of other CSrfeals has been largely overloBkfed. Only oftc c'rSfr wit! show a yield smaller IBhVl that of last year. The wheftt crop is estimated at 610.011.000 bushels, as against 748,- 460,000. bushels harvested last year. The Wheat crop of 1001, Iiflwevev. Was a record-breaker. Tire. Crop this year is largely 'ih excess of the average yield. The Pctimate of 610,611.000 busheis compares with 622,220,000 bushels in 1900,- 547;304;000 bushels in 1899, 530,149,000 bushels in J.89B-.. The indications e.1‘6 that the other important cerflftl crops—oats, ry% bar­ ley. and haefcwheab^wiii ail te i& ex­ cess Cf last year’s figures. The esti­mated yiteld Pt oats is 686,277,000 bush­ els, hs compared with 736,809,000 bushels in 1901; the estimated- yield of rye is 31.846,000 BUs'hels, as against 30.345.000 biishels in 1901; in barley the estimate is 120,720,000 bushels, as against 109,933,000 bushels last year; while in buckwheat it is IoiSffi,09(3 bushels, as against 18,125,900 bushels in 1901. WhSli the figures for all six of thees Crops are added together A Inost im­ pressive total-4 ,Sfibwn. The total es­ timated yield for the six is no less than 4,141,911,000 bushels. The high­ est total ever shewn before-was 3,-572.610.000 bUShels. It is difficult to overestimate, as a prominent financier stated a few flayi, ago, wiiat these enormous 6'rBps mean as affecting thfe prosperity of this country, TnSy are the most solid of the foundations • beneath the super­ structure of prosperity that the Uni­ ted States is now enjoying. BYery channel of trade will rgshlVe its share of the enormous Increase In purchas­ing power that has been added to this Country through these immense crops. Farmers’ Congress Adjourns. Macon, Ga,, Special,—The Farmers’ National Congress held Its fourth.and last- session Friday. It was the most important day of .the conference. A persistent attempt was made to in­ duce the. congress to reconsider its ac­ tion of 190i and endorse the ship sub­ sidy bill.The delegates from the West re-enforced by those from the South, sustained the adverse report of the committee on resolutions and the resolution of endorsement was laid on the table by an overwhelming ma­ jority.

The outlook in every direction is hopeful and enconraging. . . - In the face of such a. condition of things the calamity, howler must re­ main silent.” ' R: 0. Dun & Co.’s report for July, 1892, spoke of the fiscal year j,ust-. con­ cluded as oiie “neVer 'matched in the histovy -of- the 'country in volume of in­ dustrial production, in magnitude of doiuesric exchanges or in foreign trade.” The Boston IIerald about the same time'asked; “Where is the idle woolen i oil I to-day? Indeed, there- is none, or so few that they are not worth counting. Not only are the great-mav jorily of Uie woolen mills employed',1' but many of the manufacturers are contemplating enlargements and im­ provements, or such enlargements and improvements are already begun- Vvhat does all this mean? it means simply the, greatest consumption of wool the., country, has known for many years.” Expressions of -this kind appeared in such number in the summer of 1892 that quotations could be indefinitely multiplied If it were desirable to do so. But it is unnecessary. Enough has been said to show, to slightly vary the words of the New York Herald, that the conditions were such chat the ca­ lamity howler was compelled to admit that the country Avas enjoying uupar- alleled prosperity. Bnt he was sot silent. Tlie free trader, who, when the country is in difficulty is a “calamity howler,” as soon as protection makes the United States' incomparably pros­ perous takes a different tack. He puts himself more in evidence in another way and fills the air with noisy declar­ ations of the possibility of doing still better if the people will only consent to swallow his quack economic nos­ trum This was the case in 1892, and we re­ gret to say that the American people were foolish enough to follow his bad advice. They abandoned the wise motto of letting well enough alone. They were not contented with such prosoec- ity as that described by the New York Herald and the other papers quoted from. They wanted to be still more prosperous, and they-elected a Demo­ cratic President, and Congress to help them to become so. The help was to be extended through tarifl' revision, wliic-h was demanded and promised. The tariff was revised and- we ali know the results. Again we could sup­ ply quotations which would help con­ vince the. New York Tiincs man that given certain causes certain effects must inevitably follow.- They all tend to;shqw that prosperity is a thing eas­ ily knocked into a- cocked hat.' In this country prosperity is based on confi­ dence in our ability to produce great res'ulfs by developing domestic re­ sources; under favorable conditions. .If these condiiions are interfered with and tlieii advantageoimness is impaired down goes the whole business edifice. Cleveland, Gorman andv Wilson ,at­ tempted-to Stateyfere with the.r®.ondl- lions; tliey sought to put- the -Whole producing world on an equality with the American producer in the domestic market by revising the tariff, and the result was nearly, four Jjears of disas- lrous depression. Are we^ready to repeat this insane performance? Are we. like the writer in the New York Times, ,going, to per­ mit oitrseives to be confused b y s ta ­ tistics into believing that the wheels of prosperity cannot be blocked? Are we ready to join in tile insensate de­ mand for the revision of tariff sched­ ules which those who are making the demand for a change are forced to ad­ mit brought Ats the great prosperity we are now enjoying, and thereby give a shock'.’to confidence? It looks as' though,we were about to do this foolish thing.

He expressed the belief that he had found the thing that the Democratic party had been seeking vainly since the last - paramount, issue collapsed. His idea is that if the. people of the • United States can be brought to under- ..stand how, unfair the'Republican tariff policy is to them.in the matter of wire nails, axle grease,: wash hoards and alarm clocks they will rise in a body and demand that the-Democratic party be placed in control of the Government at Washington.

MADE LIVING BY CRACKING WHIPS Carious Trada Discovered by the Police T.' J>t France. The Paris police have recently been Informed by one af the fraternity of whip-crackers that'such a ’calling ex­ ists and-claims recognition as one of the “professions” by th* exercise of which men earn their livelihood in France. Whip-crackers, It appears, are men who possess strong wrists and are Ftilling to crack whips all day long, if required, on receipt of a suitable fee. At the commencement of the shooting season, when the proprietors of neigh­ boring demesnes are not good friends, the one who bears ill-will to. the other engages a whip cracker, whose duty it is to crack a whip so as to frighten away all the birds at the approach of the disliked sportsman and his friends. The whiperackers are also found useful by farmers afflicted with dis­ eased cattle which they cannot sell.. Having engaged a whipcracker, they turn out the sick beasts on the most frequented highway they can find. The cracker follows with his whip, osten­ sibly to guide the cattle, really to drive them under the wheels of a car­ riage, a motor car or a tram. This he does by cracking his whip at the critical moment so as to frighten the beasts and drive them to destruction. She Was No Gordon Bleu.

Clement who. for more than forty years has worked unceasingly in the Sun­ day School, to teach all who came under her influence, the way to Heaven. Her work was a labor of love. To her it was a delight t tell the "old, old story of Jesus and his love.” And when she saw members of the School, for whom she'had prayed and toiled, coming to Christ, she rejoiced with ajoy unspeakable. Our loving Heaven­ ly .Father, who never makes a mis­ take, has translated her from the Church militaut to the Chnreh tri­ umphant. We believe that He has assigned her a mansion prepared for her from the foundation of the world, and appointed her a place in that great multitude which no man can number, who now sing a new song before the Throne of Gcd, which song none could learn but those who were redeemed from the Earth. We thank Goi for our Sister's faithful life, and. beg Him to abide in our School, and stien^then us in the time of bereavment, and make us more zealous in the work of gathering sheaves for our Master. We resolve that this, tribute be spread upon our Sunday School minutes, and a copy be sent to the ■family of the deceased, also to the f W h y N o t ; § I S a v e M o n e y f f I n B u y in g % ^ ' ' '■ ^ I Id rn itd rb and stoves.?

Says That the Jliners' Convention Will Agree to Abide By Award of Commission. ' Washington, Special—The response of John Mitchell, president of the Unit­ed Mine Workers, to President Roose­ velt’s notification that he had appoint­ ed a commission, was made public Friday. It informs him of the action of the executive board of Districts I, 7 and 9, in calling a convention, and agreeing to recommend unanimously the resumption of work and the sub­ mission of the differences botween the '‘operators and the mine workers of the anthracite coal fields” to the commis­sion. The reply expresses confidence that the convention will agree to the arbitration of the ‘‘eminent and im­partial men” chosen by the President and expresses gratitude to the Presi­ dent for his patriotic effects to bring about an honorable settlement of the strike. The reply goes at length into the grievances of the miners and con­ cludes with the expression of the hope and belief that from this arbitration will come “a complete, satisfactory and permanent solution of the troubles which have vexed the anthracite field from time immemorial.” The President, in his telegram to Mr. Mitchell, an­ nounced the appointment of the com­mission and said: “It is a matter of vital concern to all our people and es­ pecially to those in our great cities who are least well off that Uie mining of coal should be resumed without a day of unnecessary delay.” Mr. Mitchell’s reply rbcOcfitS tbb ef­forts of the miners to secure arbitra­ tion and goes into a defense of the union and its demands, saying: “If our proffer of arbitration cr impartial in­ vestigation had bcon accepted six months ago; instead of now, there need have been no strike.- We have been so eager. Mr. President, to re­spond to the peole’s demand for coal, that during the progress of the strike we have more than once offered arbi­tration. but wo have invariably been met with the reply that ‘we will not permit outsiders to dictate to us in the management of bur affairs. We have nothing to arbitrate/ “Now that the managers bC the com­ panies have been compelled by you and a thoroughly aroused public conscience to recode from this position, we are proud that the firmness and the herolb endacance of our men and WOmen in Support of their right§ and of a vital American pribiple have won the vic­tory. “The poor, under-paid mine workers of lheso coal regions, who toil hard from early morning until late at night for a livelihood, nobody supported by .organized labor in this and other lands, have taught these corporation manag­ ers a useful lesson of civic and social duty. We exult over this tribute to the dignity of labor, because it is the tri­ umph of right and of good public pol­icy. “We do not, however, exult bVer our opponents; we appeal tb them now, as we have from the first, to turn their eyes to the future and to co-operate with us In an effort to establish better relations between employer and em­ ployee for the advantage of both. uWe forgive them their arrogant re­ fusal to deal with us, and in this hour when they are forced to acknowledge their anability to operate their ini&cS without our consent and co-operation, we hold out the right hand of friend­ship and ask them to Join with us in • securing amicable relations and whole­ some conditions in this region. We for­give them even the false accusations which they made against us. The pre­ tense of the operators that they were Unable to produce, coal bocause intimi­ dation kept from work men who were willing to work, has been proven false by the fact that the protection Which - they demanded has decreased rather than increased the number of men mining coal. The Operators declared that they would have nothing to do With the United Mine Workers of America, but they have found it neces­ sary to recognize the power of the United Mine Workers of America, through you, Mr. President, and seek terms of peace which will enable them to resume their business of mining and selling coal. The recognition of our strength thus forced upon the opera- . tors by stern necessity we exault over, not in narrow spirit, but because we believe it marks a forward step toward a new era. Upon the foundations laid through war, we are ready: to join with them in building for better conditions and a long lasting peace. The United Mine Workers of America, since its or­ ganization in the anthracite field, has constantly sought to establish. “ First. .To be just to both parties. We have never made demands beyond the ability of the industry to pay on a basis of equitable division of profits between labor and. capital. ‘Second. Amicable relations be­ tween employers and employee, the latter speaking through their organ­ ization and their organization aiding the companies in maintaining dis­cipline, adjusting alf difficulties by conciliatory methods, averting local strike and lockouts and securing stable and satisfactory conditions to th§ industry.* “Our organization by the same methods -which we have proposed here, has secured Just such relations and just such results on the coal fields Ot the country. ' Organization, like an individual, must stand Upon what it has done and the life it has lived. We invite scrutiny and investi­ gation of our record and character. In the soft coal fields we have Joint conferences with the operators and WiJi them we have Just diferenees we sign joint agreements together we^ preserve discipline, settle dis- Pines and maintain harmony and sta- bilitv m the trade. Upon our past record we are will­ing to stand or fall. We have, time and Jme again, invited the anthra- cite qjieiators to adopt .these business and, t0 deal with us on this- bas.s. Despite repeated Tehufts, we persisted, but they resented any at- iempt upon our part to organize their employes; they refuse our. overtures iJ f able discussion' and possible satisfactory adjustment of ,wage dit Ccnccs In Joint conference. Irn tw ln tJ f inf 7itable conflict came on they attempted to justify them­selves upon the false pleas that 0ws IL I lrresPonsible organization. When thevthen S edt ■ ,0IL resP°nsjbill[.v rnev then asserted that we were a °rgan,izatl0n wWch was domi- I ated by,Violence. .When society at- Umpted to interfere; to settle the Str.ke they declared their divinely an rented right to be let alcneW bln reports of national and State govern­ments tried to mediate, they resented the ‘meddling by politicians.’ But thanks to you, Mri President and to the power of public Opinion, they have been brought to a realization of the fact that the interests and welfare of the American people cailhot be ig­ nored with impunity.“By the eminent tribunal which you have named we have confidence that justice will be done our people. We are glad to have a chance to appear before such a court empowered to con­ sider and dispose of all questions at issue. First Umohg these is the de­ mand of the mine workers for in­creased wages and A reduction in the hours of labor; second, is the rela­tions which ought to exist between tbe employers and the organization which the men have formed and v.'hiqh they authorize to speak for them.” NORTiI CAROLINA NEWS, Items of Interest Gleaned FrOm AU Parts of the State. Salisbury, Special.—A deseperate af­ fray took place at I o’clock Sunday morning in a htrase occupied by a woman of bad reputation at Sugar Springs, a tough settlement between tbe respective limits of Salisbury and Spencer, Ernest Murphy, a young white man of this city, being set upon by four other young white men and shot three times with a pistol In the hands of some of them. Which of them did the shooting is not known with Certainty, though there Is strong Suspicion,since there Whfi ho light in the house at the time. The four men, Baldy Mil­ ler, Joe Cauble, Oharles Mowery and Baxter Sheets, broke into the house with the intention of ousting Murphy, who ws3 inside, and a desperate fight ensued, In the course of which the shooting occurred. One bullet entered the head near the bar arid the other two pierced tbe genitals, as perhaps it Was ihthnded that they should. The in­ jured young man is now lying in a dangerous condition at the home of his parents. His condition is not thought to be immediately critical, and his death, if he fails to mend, is not ex pected before Tuesday, Upon receiving a statement to this effect from the at= tending physician, Dc, j.

Charlotte, Special.—Mr. Frank B:Hornbuckle, a card roohi overseer at the Atherton, CbttonsMill, was caught by a.twd-in'cli card room belt while Wbtking in the mill and was dead in six seconds. The accident was a most unusual one. One of the driving belts slipped off of the wheel on the main shafting. In order to replace the belt Mr. Hornbuckle mounted a step-ladder and put himself in position near the shafting. The first thing, that he, did then was to throw the Card belt, which ran on a smaller Wheel on the. shafting than did the driving belt which was by its side. The card belt out of tbe way, Mr. Hornbuckle began tb tug at the driving belt, tryihg to put it on the revolving wheel Being a short man be could not reach quite high enough. In some way he caught, with his left hand, which had been on the shafting the loose card belt. Instantly the card belt entwined itself around Horn­buckle, carried him over the shafting three times, at the rate of 270 revolu­ tions a minute, and then broke and threw the dying man hard upon the floor, 30 feet away.

The Galveston News makes a good point when it says that another argu­ ment in favor of cotton manufactories in the South is found in the fecefit scheme to grow in Africa cotton for European manufacture. There ,seems to be a Well organized movement among the Lancashire Cot­ ton spinners with a view to securing their raw material from British territo­ ries In order that they may eventually become independent of the American product. Their recently organized Brit­ ish Cotton Growing association has the endorsement OL 'Coloniel Secretary Chamberlain, it is said, afid has assur­ ance of help from all the colonial gov­ ernors. Similar movements are being made in both France and Germany, and extensive preparations are going on ir. Africa, South America and Mexico, It is explained that while efforts will be made by the English association to improve the quality and to increase, the output of Indian cotton, the chief hopes of its management are apparent­ ly centered in West Africa, which is said to be capable of supplying 3,000,- 000 bales of cotton annually—which would be quite sufficient for the Lan­ cashire spinners’ use, and in the Brit­ ish Soudan the completion of the Saukim-Berber railway will, it is thought, vastly stimulate c-ottcfi cul­ ture. .............................It is predicted that in tto cSrirse Sf time and'tihe progress of changes that are going on a comparatively small amount of raw cotton may fee sent from the United States to Europe. Two Causes will operate to this end.One Cf these is the growing demand of our home mills; the other is the fall­ ing off in the demand of the European mills which have hitherto depended upon the American cotton producer for material.The South is manufacturing its cot­ ton more and more largely into the finished product, thereby increasing steadily the profits of its crop. Tha prospect of increased cotton pro­ duction in Africa may prove a blessing in disguise by stimulating the great in­ crease of cotton manufacturing in the South.The time had passed when the South depended mainly ripen raw cotton. The South realizes that her great future in ’cotton lies ifi the manufacture of the hulk of that crop:—Atlanta journal, Through tlie Indian Territory. .

A comiiioii charge against the- taLcdftLb'' is that they deliberately dump their surplus products upon foreign countries At any price attainable -while beeping up prices at home. That is probably true of the trusts, for It is true of every manufacturing concern, big or little, which has. ever produced a surplus in this or any country. It is true of our farmers who secure from all railroad companies lower freights on graiu and meat destined for export than on that to be consumed nt home, with the avowed intent to dump our surplus on other countries. Where no tariff exists freight rates are made to answer the purpose. ThwJPaeific Coast is and always has been a dumping ground for every manufacturer in America. A St. Louis manufacturer, if he has a surplus, will sell it to be shipped to this coast, or for export, cheaper than he would sell it Into the territory on which he relies for his main support. So we may assume that the trusts, in this respect, adhere to the practice which has obtained In all countries since international trade existed—or any other trade, for that matter. The main-object of producing a surplus is to keep labor employed during periods of depression. In this employers are influenced partly by the desire to keep a trained force to­ gether and to keep their machinery go­ ing, and also, very largely, by feelingS of humanity. At any rate, the produc­ tion of surpluses in America does give employment to a vast number of Amer­ icans who would otherwise be idle. All nations compete with each other in the disposal of surpluses—nearly always at less than home rates. It is not In any sense peculiar to the "trusts.” Now there are two ways of dealing with surpluses entering from foreign countries. One way is to encourage them to come in, which speedily shuts up the home industries—and the small* er. first of all—because no industry caii compete with goods sold at cost or less, and nearly all international trade has come to be in surpluses. That is the method which free trade Democrat! desire us to adopt, and they are seeking to direct the popular prejudice against trusts, against a trade practice which existed before trusts were heard of and will continue to exist after they are under control, and would exisl just the same if they were blotted but of existence. The other way is that proposed by German- statemen, and likely to be adopted by all Europe—to keep surpluses out by a stiff tariff. That, in. the case of sugar, was pro­ posed by the Brussels sugar confer ence. It is likely to be applied to all products. Just now the American cop per trust has a surplus which it is dumping on any foreign market which will receive it. But German statesmen won’t have it. Although Germany pro­ duces but about ,one-third the copper which she uses, her people are deter­ mined that German mines shall not be closed down by American copper sold In those markets at less than cost of production. A committee of the Eeiehstag has accordingly proposed a duty on raw copper, which will ap­ parently be adopted. Germany thinks it more profitable to keep her own peo­ ple employed than to buy cheap Amer­ ican copper at the cost of the idleness of a portion of her people. It is to our interest that she should do so. If our trust surpluses are kept out of foreign countries they must be sold at home, which will reduce the price of all cop­ per in this country. The Bepubllcan party is like that of Germany—protect our industries—trusts and all—against the influx of the surpluses of foreign trusts sold here at less than cost. The Democratic policy is to. invito these surpluses and close down our own works. It is for the American people to chose betweeen them.—San Fran­ cisco Chronicle. , „ A WOMAN’S SUGGESTION.' He* the industry and Trade et th* United States Might Ba Wbnclerfuily promoted. Ih h contribution to the American Economist Grace Miller White brings forward the Suggestion that If Ibe women of the Uhited States Were to act in concert ih buying ahd Using only fabrics, m.V-vials ahd articles that are of AmericaSi oake they could revolu­ tionize trade and labor conditions in this country-. The Writeri Who has gone much deeper into economics than is the habit of her sex to go, demon­ strates that by uniting in a common determination to patronize none but home industries the women of America would bring about an enormous in­ crease in production and with it better qualities! more acceptable styles and cheaper prices* As the matter now stands Paris is the world’s great mar­ ket for novelties of all kinds in wom­ en’s wear. A manufacturer in England, France or Germany, being assured of a world market in Paris, increases his unit of production to meet that certain demand. Among the mercantile buy­ ers who assemble at Paris at different seasons of the year the buyers from the United States are by far the most liberal'purchasers,-for they buy for a country whose purchasing power and consuming capacity is twice or three times as great per capita as that of any other country. Hence, under the con­ ditions supposed—that is, where Amer­ ican women and men -should have united in using none but American made goods—an enormous trade would be transferred from Europe to the United States. Consequently, our do­ mestic producers, being now assured of the domestic market with its vast pur­ chasing power and consuming capacity as a whole, coupled with a vastly greater per capita purchasing power and consuming capacity, would find in our SOrOOO1OOO of population a consum­ ing market equaling 250,000,000 con­ sumers in any other part of the world. The dream of such a state of things is not altogether fantastic or impossible of realization. Much has occurred in the past five years of protection to help make the dream come true. Much more Could be done toward realization if the women of this country, and the men, too, were to decide that the things made by our own people were good enough for our own people to wear and use. They are good enough, and some day we shall find it out and act accord­ ingly. In the meantimg any progress along the line of finding it out is to be encouraged ahd commended. • To the largest possible extent the people of the United States should answer in the affirmative the question, “Shall the Eepublic do its own work?” The Way Tariff Itevision Goes* When the Republican convention of: a State like Missouri, which is decp- dyed Democratic, flirted with tariff re­ vision, we heard a great deal about it from the free traders, who are sure the Hepublican party is anxious to re­ pudiate protection. When the State of Idaho (Democratic in 1900 and with a Democratic-Populist representation in the House and one Democratic Sen­ ator) did the same thing it was of the greatest National importance. When the Bepublican convention of Michigan declared against “reciprocity” or tariff revision of any kind to interfere with American industries, the free traders scarcely let a whisper escape them. Notv that California does the same thing doubtless Hicy wiil hold a dead silence. And note that Michigan has both Senators Republican (one since dead) and every single one of her twelve Representatives in the House Republican; and that California has both' Senators Republican and every single one of her seven Representatives Republican. That’s the way tariff revision gees!— New Tork Press. POPULAR SCIENCE, Soundings have shown that the ocean basins are comparatively steep sided and flat floored. The greatest depth yet found is 31,614 feet, in the Western Pacific, near the island of Guam Oatitude twelve degrees forty- five minutes north, longitude 145 de­ grees forty-five mibutes east). An­ other place of great depth, 30,930 feet, is in the Pacific, hear the Fiji-Islands. The deepest sounding yet made in the Atlantic is 27,300 feet, or over five miles, in a local depression 100 miles north of Porto Rico, West Indies. It is always cold at the bottom of the sett, the influence of the warm sur­ face currents not extending below 100 fathoms. In the greater depths the temperature is always close to the freezing point. In the tropics the dif­ ference between surface and bottom temperatures is frequently more than forty-five degrees. From 100 fathoms down, or throughout the waters be­ yond the influence of the sun, temper­ atures remain practically unchanged. The low temperature there is due to the cold water from the Polar regions, which sinks and gradually spreads it­ self over Hie ocean bed. Dr. Victor Vaughan, of Ann Arbor, Mieh., at the annual meeting of the American Medical Association, read a paper in which he said that the steril­ ization. of milk, as ordinarily carried out, and even the Pasteurization of it, is not desirable, but that perfectly fresh milk from the cow, with certain common-sense modifications, is the best food for the baby. The high death rate from summer diseases among children, which continues, notwith­ standing the sterilization of milk, he attributes to failure in sterilization. Our aim should be, be says, to take care of the milk and prevent its con­ tamination. Many leading physicians express similar views. The United States Consul-General at Berlin sends to the State Department some interesting details of the recent trial of high-speed electric motors by the Prussian State Railway Adminis tration. The track used had been put in thorough repair, and at ordinary speed everything worked perfectly, but when a speed of eighty-one miles an hour was reached and exceeded new and serious conditions were encoun­ tered. The rails and ties both proved too light for so great a strain; the track began to' give way and the side swaying of the cars increased seri­ ously. The highest speed attained was ninety-nine miles an hour on two occasions, but, as the result of condi­ tions then developed, the experiments were discontinued. Up to a speed of eighty-one miles an hour, however, they proved successful and satisfac­ tory. Much attention is now being given in many States to the subject of con­ tagion among the children of the schools, and every effort on the part of health boards and the school, au­ thorities is making to impress the child with the importance of cleanly habits. The Providence (R. I.) Board of Health has sent a circular letter to the teachers in the public schools ask­ ing tha’t they teach the children the importance of observing the following rules: “Don’t spit, cither on the slate, the floor or the sidewalk; don’t put the fingers in the mouth; don’t pick the nose; don’t put a pencil in the mouth or moisten if with the lips;, don’t wet the finger with saliva in turning the pages of a book; don’t put money of any kind In the mouth; don’t put pins in the mouth; don't swap with I other children anything that is put into the month, such as apples, candy, chewing-gum, whistles or bean-blow- ers; don’t cough or sneeze, while fac­ ing another person; wash the face and hands often. Ostrleh Eggs as Food. Ostrich eggs are only a twelfth the cost of hen_eggs, that Is, so far as South Africa is concerned. Hen egg3 cost 75 cents a dozen,but ostrich eggs, each of which Is equivalent to 20 or 24 hen eggs, cost 10 cents. When re­ quired for use the housewife makes a small hole in the top of the egg. The quantity required is shaken out, and the shell containing the remainder is corked up, as though it were a bottle. So treated, the contents of the egg keep quite a long time when care is taken to place the corked shell in a cool place. The authorities have strictly prohib­ ited the exportation of ostrich eggs, but the birds have been acclimatised to South Africa. An American has also founded an ostrich colony In the south of France, at Nice. The results are that South Africa has dangerous rivals in the field, and that ostrich eggs may soon figure on our breakfast tables. An Up-to-Date Child.

Dis­ eases of the kidneys, bladder and diges­ tive orgaus are all frequently the result of a neglected cold.Hundreds of dollars arc spent on doctors and medicines trying to cnre these diseases, but until the true cause of them is discovered there will be no use In using medicine. Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi­ cine and constipation medicfne is of no good whatever when catarrh is the cause. The catarrh must be treated. The cause being removed, the derange­ ments will disappear. Peruna cures catarrh of ihe digestive organs, the uviuary organs or any of the internal orgaus.

Reports from all the summer resorts say that the one conspicuous result of the country's great prosperity has been to send a small army of the new­ ly rich to the exclusive resorts, where they are crowding out the old summer visitors. Nothing so impresses one brought in contact with these get-rieb- quick families as the remarkable man­ ner In which the maternal head of tlie houses accustoms herself to the new conditions. No matter what her for­ mer station, in nine times out of ten she will grace the drawing room with .an elegance and charm supposed to be acquired only through generations of wealth and eulture. The men, on the other hand, seldom change to any great extent; If they have been ac­ customed to eating- with their knives they usually continue to do so, and the fact that silver now supplants steel adds relish to the operation. Nowhere is this illustrated bettor"than at the summer hotel. How really pathetic it is to see some smartly gowned matron vainly endeavor to make her husband appear as though he had been coming down to dinner in a tuxedo all his life, and what a series of frowns, coughs "and nudgings there is if per­ chance he so far forgets her warnings as to tie his napkin around his neck.— New York Press.

Heredity nay have some influence on their talents; but recent investigations do not agree on details Francis Galtoii, the great English au­ thority, states that, with poets and artists, the influence of the female line is enormously lets than the male, while Doctors Chaslin and i-Iobius, two French investigators, have come to an exactly opposite conclusion. In a recent discussion at the Paris Medi­ co-Psychological Society, Dr. ChaslLn stated that the mother of a poet is al­ ways intellectually gifted, whereas, the son of a stupid woman is always stupid.

In 1901 we had for schools $0,942.87—just §500.20 more than we had for 1900. Yet the Democratic School Board of this County, headed by Captain Nat. Peebles, now Democratic candidate for County Commissioner, appotioned only $1,722 to carry on the schools for the past winter, leaving a balance of $2220 Si uuapportioned, almost J of the school fund was not apportioned as shown by these figures, and the schools were the shortest we Iiave had for years, although we had more mon­ ey than formerly. To illustrate, In 1900 Mocksville township was given $1,009.20, iu 1901 Mocksville township only received $687, be­ ing $322.20 less than 1900.. Earmington township received in 1900 $129-1.85, and in 1901 Pannington only got $922, being $372.85 less Ilian it had in 1900. Jerusalem township in 1900 got $872.90 and in 1901 received $757, being $115 90 less than it received in 1900. Now we ask ihese Democratic gentlemen of the board to tell the peo­ ple of Davie vhat they have done with the $2220.87. In March we printed the above figures, and no one has dei ied their correctness. We also offered to publish the receipts and disbursements of school funds free of charge, so the people co ul I see what they had done with the chiid ten’s money, and let them see why with more money on hand, we had shot ter schools, Whereis the money gentlemeu, and why if you had it on hand, did you not give the poor boys aud girls of Dsi vie who are to be disfranchised if they caunot read and write after 1908 longer school terms? * Answer at the bar, before the poor boys aud girls of Davie county, who were deprived by your bad manage­ ment of the schools of this county out of about i of . the school term last winter.

TheDavieTimesdevotes about one columD in its last week’s issue in an attempt to refute a statement made on a card, which it. terms a “bastard production.” It further says that the author of that card dared not risk his own accuracy, and reputation by signing his name to it.” Therewasno necessitylor ones name to be signed to that card, for it did not contain figures manufactured by its 1 author, but figures taken from the County records which are open to the in­ spection of every citizeu of Davie County regardless of his politics. Now we are going to give our read­ ers one other assertion made by the Times in his' column article and let every fair-minded, honest man who reads it, judge for him­ self. Here it is: ‘ They have the books. Ifwe hadihem we could not only show'inaccuracies of state­ ment and the demagoguery of the card published in their desperate hope to deceive some one, and ob­ tain a longer lrase of power. But the hand writing is on the wall.” Yes, the hooks have been in the hands of the Republicans for a long Democrats. The Democrats col­ lected in 1S03 $15,150.43, Repub licans in 1901 collected $15004,84 The above figures are taken from the Times of last week and we do not vouch for them, but if true, they show that it costs more to run the county nuder the Demo­ crats than it does under the Be- publi'-ans, and his own figures prove it. The $330S.64 collected from the XVilliams penalty and the Stonestreet estate did not come out of the tax-payers, so there is noth­ ing in that, "only it was used in payiug Democratic debts made years ago, and whieh we are now paying every time the Sheriff comes around with his books. Now iu conclusion we will say. that this column article in the Times of last week devoted to the “little bastard card,” only proves its truth iu .every line, and adds weight to ite effect. It’s the la­ mest delense we have ever seen, for it is shown by the Times’ own figures that it takes more to run the county nuder a Democratic board than a Republican and the Times forgets to tell the people that while they collected more taxes we while, and if the writer of that ar- have paid more than $1000 per tiele in the Times will prove that he can’t see and inspect the books, we will present him a $5,00 Stet­ son hat. Now some one else had better put up or shut up. If the gentleman can’t see the books will he please tell his readers how he got all those figures he used in that article. It has taken a lot of valuable space in its columns to explain a little bastard card, aud in the column of explanation it is not denied that any item in the card is not true. Yes, the taxable property in the county has increas­ ed and will continue to increase as long as we have a Republican ad­ ministration at, Washington. CIeve land Sonp Houses' and Coxey Ar­ mies have gone out of business nn- der a Republican administration of this government, and men who were begging for work and bread, aud feeding on . soup "are now at work adding wealth to our coun­ try, and increasing the' tax returns without imposing additional bur- dens upon others. Most of the increase shown in-the taxables in this county has come not from raising the assessment on the farms but from the manufacturing plants tteIto in this county canuot succeed, and 0 eaeLaml < we ap- IlL '""'l «' ery Republican j H Ulltv to see that no man 'e Npiiblicaa ticket nexttJlVluj is not legally enti- Mnest so- We want nothing vi VOteS uounted for OM iIvkI " e cann°t win with Pvefer defeat.

The above explains itself, and shows how desperate our Demo­ cratic friends have gotten, Regis­ trars who should be at home,, or at their place of business while the registration books are open for reg­ istration, are here advised to go out and hunt up Democrats, and put their names on the books'? Now while they are out hunting up Democrats and being payed with Lemocraticmoney, othpr poor white men who quit their, work and go to the registrar’s residence or place.of business, of course will be unable to find hint, and will be unable to get their names on the registration books unless ■ they chase him through the woods In quest of Democrats. This. n that the Democrats are Imnt on carrying the State by fqir Democrats, while taxes collected from Republicans go to pay him for his work. Honest white men of Davie, do you approve of such methods ? How can you ? A reg­ istrar should be above doing dirty partizan work of this kind, and should be exposed for absenting himself from the place he should be found during the registration period. We see in the papers where one of the Wake connty registrars was so drunk on one Saturday that he was unable to perform the dn ties of the office. Shame, eternal shame upon such men and such methods. We dare say, you will not hear of a single one of these fellows beiug indicted and punish ed for their crimes, but Bhould they, Mr. Aycock & Co would no doubt ask the next legislature, (if Democratic), fo make an appro priation of the peoples money to defray all the expenses and attorn eys fees; just like they did two years ago. The peoples money goes free and easy when Democrat­ ic officials want to carry elections Go to the polls honest, bard-work ing white men of Davie, and vote these defamersand.polluters of the temple ot justice out of power.

A Bold Robber Terrorizes Train Crefl and Passengers. KILLS ENGINEER AND ROBS CARS. While Slowing Down on Signal the Engineer Saw the Robbsr Crawling Towards Him. Missoula, Mont., Special.—An east- bound passenger train on the Nortacrn Pacific was held up Thursday night near Drummond, Mont., 45 miles from this city,' and Engineer Dan O’Neill was killed. The train, which includea aaali baggage and express cars and nine coaches, arrived at Missoula at 30:20 p. ua., and prceeded eastward after a short delay at this station. It arrived after midnight at a place 2 miles wes* of Drummond. Here the train was sig­naled to stop and the engineer slowed up. While doing so, he saw a man creeping toward him over the tender. The man, who was armed, called to O’Neill to stop the train instantly. The engineer took in the situation at once and pulled open the throttle tried to . start the train at full speed. The robber divined his purpose and fired at him. The shot took instant effect and the en­ gineer fell dead at his post. The robber then proceeded to rifle the express and mail cars. He plundered the regular mail wid blew open the safe in the ex­ press car, which was wrecked by tbe explosion. The amount of plunder which he secured is not known at pres­ ent, but it is supposed to be large. The excitement on the train was in­tense. The sudden stoppage of the train followed soon by t}ie explosion spread alarm among the train hands and tl^e passengers. The darkness of the night and the loneliness of the place added to the general scenes of terror. Word of the attack was sent to Drummond, whence it was telegraphed to Deer Lodge, about 50 miles away. Blood­hounds were sent out at once and steps were taken to keep vigilant watch lor the robbers. It was assumed that at least eight ,.men were engaged in the hold-up, but the latest advices are that one man alone perpetrated, the murder and robbery. Dan O’Neill, the dead engineer, lived in this city and had a wife and five children. He had been In the service of the Northern Pacific longer than any engineer. The robber boasted that he was the man who took part in the hold­ up of the Southern Pacific train near Portland, Ore., about one year ago. He made this boast to the train hands to terrorize them, while he employed them to run the train 4 miles to a point 2 miles east of Drummond. He declared that he would be hard to catch, as he had a horse in the timber. The, North­ ern Pacific has offered a reward of $5,- #00 for delivery, dead or alive, of the train ,robber who killed O’Neill. The mask worn by the bandit was found on a mountain trail, 2 miles from the scene of the hold-up and after giving the hounds the scent of the mask, the animals immediately took up the trail, which was then afcoat 8 hours old. Cockrell Acquitted. Compton, Ky., Special.—The jury in the case of Tom Cockrill1- charged with the murder of Ben. Hargis, re­ turned' a verdict of not guilty. In the fight in which Hargis lost his life, Cockrill was severely wounded. The killing with which Cockrill was charged was one of many that have occurred as a result of a. bitter feud, between the Cockrill and Hargis fac­ tions in Breathitt county, Ky. The last casulty in the feud was the as- sasination of Jim Cockrill. Tom Cock- rilPs brother, from the court hottse at Jackson, for which no arrest has ever been made. Section Jlaster Killed. Sanford, N. C., Special.—Wednesday afternoon there was an accident near Colon, on the Seaboard Air Line, which has since resulted in the death of one man. The section crew with their hand car were hastening to Col­ on In order to-be out of the way of No. 41, then almost due, when a pick on the front end of the car fell off. caus­ ing the car. to jump the track. Section Master M. F. Brown was thrown vio­ lently and his skull fractured. He was brought to Sanford for treatment, but died yesterday morning. Two of the other men on the car were injured al­so, though not fatally. To Buila Torpedo Boats. London, By.

Among the questions considered were those explaining to the meeting the order in which witnesses, shall be called, whether the sessions shall be open to the press, whether counsel for the parties at interest shall be per­ mitted to be present, etc. The commission adjourned at 12:45 o’clock, to meet again next Mondasr5 at 2 o’clock. After the adjournment, the announcement was made that only two conclusions had been reached. The first of these was to admit the public ts all formal meetings of the commis­ sion, and the second, to notify tbe par­ ties to the controversy to be present at the meeting on Monday for the pur­ pose of arranging a time for hearings which would be convenient for all con­ cerned. Notices were accordingly sent to the mine operators and to Mr. Mitchell, president of the United Mine V,Torkers, asking them to be in atten­ dance Monday. It was stated that most of today’s meeting was taken up with a discussion of the. question as to the time when the hearings shall be held, the result of which was the conclusion to call in the people in­ terested before reaching a decision. The commission has already adopted an official name and has had its print­ ing prepared, designating it as the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission. Edward A. Mosely, who becomes an assistant to Recorder Wright by direc­ tion • of the President is secretary of the Inter-State Commerce Commis­ sion. Dr. Neill, the other assistant re­ corder, is professor of political econ­ omy at the Catholic University, lo­ cated near Washington. The commis­sion took lunch with the President.

Harrisburg, ' Pa., Special.—“The troops will be leapt in the coal region just as long as there is auy necessity for it,” said Governor Stone tonight when asked when tlie Pennsylvania National Guard will be recalled from the coal strike territory. The Gov­ ernor said he could not fix any arbi- tary date for the recall of the troops and that the generals who are on the ground will be the best judges of when it may be safe to begin the movement - of troops homeward. He also said that the troops will not all be recalled at the same time, but that the withdrawal will be gradual.

Chicago, Special.—The Reeord-Hei- ald say.?: “The National Association c£ Manufacturers- of America, through a circular letter being mailed to every manufacturer In this country declares for war on two bills now before Con­ gress and for which union labor is re­ sponsible. ’“Particular stress is laid up­on the efforts of labor to secure the passage of an eight-hour day law, which is called “vicious." Recipients of these letters are asked to become members of the association. Telegraphic Briefs. Of unusual length, but of more than ordinary interest is the annual report to the Secretary of the Navy of the en­ gineer-in-chief, Melville. He says with the greatest frankness, that the per­ sonnel act has proven to be a failure as it is administered; and Be declared that . one-half-of the . officers of the navy have yet to be convinced of the benefits of the amalgamation. The trial of B. B. Evans for the mur­ der of Capt. 'John J. Griffin began at Columbia, S.' Cl. Friday after' several continuances. The killing occurred early last year in Evans’ room. The defendant claims that Griffin shot him­ self while handling a pistol. Rev. Dr. SheldGn Munson Griswold, rector of Christ church at Hudson, N. Y., in the diocese of Albany, was Fri­ da yelected missionary bishop of Sali- na, the western district of Kansas, by the House'of Bishops at Philadelphia. A Chicago, dispatch says: “James G. Darden has.abandoned his candidacy for Congresa in the ninth district. The probabilities are that Col. J. Hamilton Lewis, formerly a member of Congress from the-State ofoWashington, will be nominated in his place.” A Pittsburg dispatch says: “Officials of ’ the American -Tin • Platfe Company and a conference1 committee ' of the Amalgamated'Association held a long session after the tin workers’ conven­ tion had finally adjourned and at night adopted an agreement that will allow the Americati iTlh Plate Company to bid on the tin plate orders of the Standard (Ml Company that are now being supplied by the Welsh manufac­ turers.” In the name of his -wife Thomas F.

They jiave not, however, 'decided upon any definite plans for the development of the water-power-, but -are considering the contemplated enterprise. New York, Special.—Dr. E. S. Potter was first witness at "Wednesdfay’s ses­ sion of the Molineux trial. The wit­ ness admitted that he was present as an expert for the prosecution and ha received up to this time 51,960. Asked by former Governor Black if these facts had any thing to do with the loss of his notes since the last trial and his ability to remember what was said by Mrs. Rogers and Cornish. Dr. Potter said he could not account for the loss of his notes. After Police Captain George McCIuskey had identified ex­ hibits of handwriting and told of his hubmitting them to experts, Jos. J. Koch-, the keeper of the letter box place, said that in June of 1S9S, he re­ ceived a letter signed Roland B. Molin- eux; asking the cost of a private letter box. He' sent a circular containing his rules and terms to Molineux in New­ ark. Later a young man came to hi3 place of business and hired a letter box. The man gave him the name of H. Cornish. Cornish, who was in the body of the court room, stood, up. “Is that the man who hired the let­ ter box?” asked Mr. Osborne. "It is not.” “Did this defendant here hire a let­ ter box from you,?.” ex-Governor Black asked. “No.” Charles D. Allen, a chemist in the color house of H. Constant & Co., was called to tell of his association -rflth Molineux in Morris, Herman & Com­ pany’s color house, In Newark. He said Molineux had use of the labora­ tory. “Did you write this letter?” asked Mr. Osborne, showing witness a paper and envelope. “I did. I wrote it and signed it and mailed it at Mr. Mdlineux’s request. My initials appear under his name.” The letter was offered in evidence«af- Ier Mr. Osborne had explained that it was the letter Koch received asking for tha magazine, “Studio,” and to which he replied by enclosing his cir­ cular, giving among other' things the terms for private letter boxes. Ex- Governor Black objected to the admis­ sion of the letter, but Justice Lambert reserved his decision. Wm. J. Kinsley, the handwriting ex­ pert, identified some of Molineux's writing and then declared that the so- called Harpster letter,-written to Fred Stearns & Co., in Detroit, was written by the same hand. Mr. Osborne offer­ ed the letter in evidence and ex-Gov- ernor Black objected on the ground that it is incompatible under the ruling of the Court of Appeals and that it tends to connect and accuse the de­ fendant of a crime other than that for which he is on trial. Justice Lambert overruled the objection and the letter was read to the jury. Kinsley testified that in his ooinion Mplineux wrote that i'letter and also three others, giving the address. 1,620 Broadway, signed “H. Cornish,” and asking for samples of patent medi­ cines. AU were admitted in evidence despite the objection of counsel. Among the letters identified by Kin's-' ley were several of the so-called Bar- net letters. Justice Lambert admitted them as standard of handwriting. Rudolph Heiles testified that at the request of Molineux he wrote to Fred­ erick Stearns & Co., of Detroit, asking about Harpster. “Did MoIineux say to 3'ou. ‘Harpster is the same low-down, vile kind as Cornish?'” ' “Yes. sir.” Honored Georgians. Atlanta, Special.—The commission- appointed by Governor Candler to de-' signate two of Georgia’s promiheht cit­ izens whose statutes shall be placed in the Statuary Hali in the national cap­ ital at Washington, agreed upon Alex­ ander H. Stephens as one of the two to represent this State. At a former meeting of the commission. Dr. Craw­ ford H. Long, the discoverer of anaes­ thesia, was chosen, as one of Georgia’s representatives. Five Hurders in Succession. Bristol, Tenii., Special--The little mining town of Dorchester, Va., has recently been the scene of five murders, occurring one immediately after the other. John Slayers killed. Mark Bos­ ton, with whoiSi it is said he had dif­ ferences over a young lady. The slayer was about to escape^when he was shot and killed by - James Boston, Mar’s brother, who thon fled to the moun­ tains. A negro Woman killed her man, putting two Winchester bullets into his body. A pistol duel was fought between two white men, one of whom fell dealt Thair name's are not known. • No Lack of Coal. Washington, Special.—With refer­ ence to a recently published statement that the freight traffic of the Seaboard Air Line is almost crippled by the scar­ city of-coal, Vice President Barr, of the Seaboard, said: "i'here is no truth in, Uie statement. There' have been no trains annualled, no failure to move freight, nor any loss of time on any freight or passenger train on this ac­ count. All necessary • arrangements have been made to prevent any Short­age.” Order Forty Engines. Roanoke, Vai, Special.—Tho Norfolk & Western Railway Company placed orders for 40 new locomotives. The engine contraoted for are what are known as “ClAss W” freight engines and the work of building them will be ■livided between the Baldwin Locomor •’ve Works and the American Lpcomo- Jvs Works, each concern erecting half of the number demanded. This .mates 139 freight engines and six passenger engines contracted far by the Norfoli- &.Western during-the iast tc-n montiis Prom inent Party Leaders Gather it Greensboro. Greensboro, Special—There was f meeting of the Republican State ex ecutive committee here Saturdas night Those present were: Chairmai Jeter C. Pritchard, Secretary D. C Pearson, E. W. Patrick, A. H.

Secretary Pear­ son said the only business before th£ committee was the arrangement oi the State ticket so that it would con form to the election law. If the com m ittee.transacted any other businest he did not know it. Chairman Pritch­ ard was in constant consultation witl different prominent candidates anG members of the State executive com* mfctee. What new move in the po liticai field is on. can only be ap proximated. A Republican this morn­ ing was heard to declare that it had been admitted by the boss of hii panty that the pretended bouncing ol the colored voters, the complete ig noring of the advice of conscientious white Republicans who were not Fed eral office-holders, was a great blun der. He said that the endorsing Ol Democrats for ,office and the exclusion of old time Republicans from even s participation in the party councils had caused more of them to be dis gusted than it had won new voter* He also said that some Democrats whc had displaced Republicans as candi dates, it had been found, could not at tract a single Damocratic voter, ar illustration being given of a son ii one county, whose father and thre< brothers were actively canvassUij against him. The following are some of the prominent Republicans wh< spent Sunday here: Thomas Settle, o! Asheville; Jolin E. Fowler, Clinton; Spencer Blackburn, Wilkesboro; D. H Abbott, Raleigh. News of the Day. The Rev. Dr. Henry C. McCook has resigned the pastorate of the Taber­ nacle Presbyterian Church, in Phila­ delphia. after thirty-three years’ ser­ vice. He is 05 yeairs old and his health has been failing for the last three years; he desires to spend his coming years in .scientific and historical writ­ ing. Dr. MoCook belongs to the famous family of “the fighting McCooks.” He was of “the tribe of Dan” and Gen Anson G-. McCook and Commander R S. McCook, of tile navy, were his brothers, and Gen. Alexander McDoweB McCook, of “the tribe of John,” was his cousin. The Rev. Dr. McCook served one year in the civil war as a lieuten­ ant and chaplain. He again acted as chaplain in thew ar with Spain. At the very best, says the Philadel­ phia Public Ledger, the street car con­ ductor’s work is trying and wearing but it would be made lighter, less dis­ agreeable, if every passenger should, if every passenger should, in good temper and human sympathy, try to make it so by practicing in his behalf the virtues of ciyilitct, courtesy and kindness. Conductor and conducted made of the same clay, and are pretty much the same, though one takes the fare and the other gives it: they are alike fellow creatures, bound upon the same long journey, to the same end, and it becomes every mortal to make ehe journey, through this rough old world of ours as smooth and pleasant its possible. Death of Prof. W ithrow. Winnsboro, Special.—Prof. W. H. Withrow, principal of Mount Zion College here, died at his residence very suddenly at 11 o’clock Sunday night, of heart failure. He had been quite ill for several days, but hae nearly 'recovered, and expected to re­ sume his duties at the college this morning. His death was entirely un­ expected, and it was a great shock to the entire community. Prof. Withrow was elected principal of Mount Zion Collegi. 16 years ago. He was about 73 years of age, and was very populat and very much beloved. The funeral services will be held at the Presby­ terian church tomorrow morning ai 10:30, and the burial will take place with lfasonic honors at the Presby­ terian Cemetery. Killed By Explosion. . Augusto. Ga., Special.—An explosion of-a slasher cylinder at the Sibley Mill earl yMonday killed one man and in­ jured three others. The dead: Wm. Clarke, Bath, S. C.: injured: Lee Le- mar, head cut; ArVilliam Wallock, leg cut; Robert Cheeks, back wrenched. The cylinder was a large one, but only: ordinarily carried ton pounds of steam, and what caused the explosion is a mystery. Trial of B. B. Evans. Columbia, S. C., Special.—The case against Major Bainard B. Evans, charged with the murder of Capt. J. J. Griffin in April, 1901, has been set for trial Thursday. Major Evans is a brother of ex-Governor John Gary Ev­ ans and a cousin of Justice Eugene B. Gary, of the Supreme Court, and Judge Earnest Gary, of the Circuit . Court. There is also a connection with Judge’ R. C- Watts, of the Circuit Court. These ties of consanguinity and pro­ pinquity were urged as reasons for having the trial postponed when Judges Gary and W atts respectively presided, but the ease will probably be heafd this' week. Stabbed By Banker. Pensacola, Fla., Special.—In a, street fight Monday, grbwin-g out of a dispute over a law suit, W. O’Neil, president of the American National Bank, stabbed Adolph Greenhut, a wholesale grocer, under the left ear’ near the large artery, also in tbe back and on the arm, the wound in the neck being serious.

Mr. Mitchell was directly responsible for the big stores for which Elizabeth City is noted. It was he who came here a few tears ago and erected.the mam­ moth; Bee Hive store, exciting other merchants to activity to meet the com­ petition. His universal Poiiiilarity U evidenced by the words of regret and aorrfcwhesm} on every hand. ■ SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL Southern Railways. As part of the work done by great railroad systems in developing the South in strengthening their positions there and extending their facilities. The Manufacturers’ Record in this week’s issue summarizes the expen­ ditures for extensions, etc., of several typical lines as follows: “The Illinois Central Railroad, for instance, notes the disbursement of $8,097,646 for betterments during the year. Nearly 200 additional miles of second main track were put in service, making a total of 533 miles of second and third track now in use on the system, which since last year has added 61 miles to its'extent, making a total of 4,283 mileage. The Southern Railway Com­ pany expended in the same period for maintenance of way and structures, improvements and extensions, $6,630,- 721, the improvements including the reductions of curves and grades on the St. Louis division, the building of new shops at Sheffield, Ala., the making of an extension from Littleton, Ala., to the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Com­ pany’s mines and the purchase of real estate at Birmingham, Louisville and other points. The Norfolk & Western Railway also spent largely, and re­ ports a total of $2,899,457 for new branches and extensions, for improv­ ing bridges and trestles, for second track and for additional rolling stock. The Chesapeake & Ohio was not. far behind its neighbor, having paid out $2,823,505 for betterments, incluriug the station at Richmond. It has be­ gun. several projects for the current year which will entail an expenditure of more than $4,000,000, and is also continuing its work of substituting heavy steel bridges or masonary and permanent embankments for ltght iron bridges and wooden trestles. Another liberal spender is the Nashville, Chat­ tanooga & St. Louis Railway, which put the sum of $2,083,901 in better­ ments in purchasing new equipment, erecting new bridges and buildings, filling in trestles, etc. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway has also put out $423,731 for betterments, and the Craitral of Georgia, $259,390 for im­ provements. including the filling in of 86 trestles. These seven railroad companies report a combined total of $23,218,301 spent last year for im­ provements and extensions and it is particularly gratifying, that much of this large distribution of money was made out of the earnings of the prop­ erties.” , These expenditures made largely in the South are but a part of the work for the South done by these roads, a majority of which have for several years exerted themselves particularly in building up industries and attract­ ing settlers to their respective terri­ tories. The effects of their exertions are marked especially in the portion ef the South east of the Mississippi. Now ten or twelve railroad systems operating In the territory west of the Mississippi which h as' come to be known as the great Southwest, have united in a plan for systematic settle­ ment of new lands. Commenting upon this project a special correspondent at St. Louis of The Manufacturers’ Record, says: “The Northwest became famous for the wheat fields developed and the cattle raised there. Now Kansas and Oklahoma wheat beats anything in the world, and wheat-growing in ail tlie Southwest is on the increase.. The Southwest is full of cattle, horses, hogs, sheep and goats. Cotton is grown almost as far North as -the Kansas line and the cotton crop of the Southwest is already nearly one-haif of the entire product- of the United States. The rice fields of Louisiana and Texas have revolutionized the rice culture of the United' States and have made fortunes for the Northern men who largely own them, while' rice lands have increased in price from 25 cents an acre to $35 and $60. There is almost nothing that grows that will not thrive in the Southwest. “In horticulture hardly a beginning has been made and yet, Missouri and Arkansas and Oklahouia apples now lead the world. Peaches of wonderful ,coloring and flavor are also raised in Missouri, Arkansas, Indian Tewitory and Oklahoma, and pears and plums and strawberries and grapes and all the small fruits grow to perfection all over the-Southwest. Truck farming is making many farmers rich. Of the vast forests o£ hardwood and pine, of the zinc, lead and other valuable ores, of the natural gas and the great quan­ tities of splendid coal, of the oil and all that, the world probably knows something. But no idea of their enor­ mous value in the development of an industrial, as well as an agricultural section, can be formed without a careful and , exhaustive examination on 8ie ground.” Textile Notes. Work is proceeding with the de-. velopments of the Ware Shoals Manu­ facturing Co. at Ware Shoals, near Laurens, S. C. The water-power will, it is now estimated, give a: minimum horse-power of 3,000, with 5,000 prac­ tically available at all times. Work­ men are now engaged on the construc­ tion of the dam, canal and power­ house. This dam will be *twenty-four feet broad at its'base and twenty-six feet in height, equipped with gates. The canal leading to the power-house, where the electric dynamos will be placed, will be half a mile long and eighty-five feet wide. The cotton, mill, that is to be located after the power is ready will be. as previously an ndunced, a 25j000 spindle plant. The Loray Mills of Gastonia, N. C., has shipped about $250,000 worth of coarse heavy : goods to China during the past six months, and has suffi­ cient orders on file to keep. its . plant busy until January. This mili ob­ tained its first order; amounting to $100,000, about six months ago. It has 50,224 ring spindles, and 1.6S0 looms, and is capitalized at $1,000,000. Messrs. T. D. Kemp and B. M. Lide of Marion, Ala., are organizing a com­ pany for the establishment of a cotton mill. They propose installing a amali Dlant to spin yarns. , Fulton B*g and Cotton Mills of At­ lanta, Ga., has filed amendments to its charter, permitting increase of capital stock from $250,000 to $500,- 000. It is probable the company has some enlargements In vie-w, judging from this action.

ARE JKE MIS. CH1EVOUS BOYS. rhey Are Eneror to MaIte the Experi­ ment, Apparently in Ignorance or the Disasters Whicli Tbey Would Precipi­ tate Upon the Country. Gentlemen who are advocating the readjustment of the tariff and the dis­ turbing of business interests and of the existing conditions which make for general prosperity are hard to please. They are mischievous or Ignorant. Al though they are confronted with unex­ ampled prosperity in every part of the country they do not, seem to know it. There are few idle men in any branch of industry. Every competent work­ man who really wishes to get employ­ ment has little difficulty in finding it. The “want”"colnnins of the newspapers are filled with demands for every kind of labor and the “situations wanted' columns have dwindled in correspond­ ing degree. In addition to the marvel­ ous activity in every line of manufac­ ture and trade, the country is on the eve of the most abundant harvests known in many- years. Apparently there will be no crop failure of any kind. Corn, wheat and cotton will be marketed in enormous quantities, and undoubtedly will fetch good prices. There will Se an abundance of com for feeding cattle, which should make low­ er prices for beef, and the packers will have better profits at lower prices than they have had this year. Wbat ails these chronic malcontents and discontents whose feelings find ex­ pression in the jeremiads of such ca­ lamity howlers as Bryan! What is the matter with them! Are they distressed becouso of abounding prosperity? Do they in a spirit of malice or reckless­ ness long to experiment with another condition of affairs? Have they not yet lqjirned the lesson that it is “bet­ ter to leave well enough alone?” Might it not be advantageous for Chicago, for instance, to feel the impulse of the good times all about us and reap some of the benefits which other cities are enjoying? The effort to disturb existing condi­ tions in trade ,and business for the pur­ pose of giving occupation to a certain class of restless politicians who have nothing to do in prosperous times is unwise, if not something worse, and exhibits the wanton spirit of the small boy who defaces public buildings, de. stroys private property and tortures animals to give expression 'o his su­ perabundant “cussedness.” Some of those who are so anxious to try “the other side” and experiment with de­ pression and disaster appear to desire the fulfillment of these prophecies of evil even if their fellow citizens have to suffer therefrom. Others from lack of experience or from sheer selfishness, having no other occupation but politics and being on the losing side, evidently think that bad times for other people may be good times, for them. Those who in this spirit wish for change should read in Mr. Allerton’s letter, printed on Tuesday last, his reference to 1894, when as the result of demoral­ izing business and disturbing prosper­ ity “every one was idle, old men and young men asking for a job.” Those who desire this condition of things, those who would like to see tbe fires put out In the great mills at South Chicago—men walking the streets this winter looking in vain for employment, the highways full of tramps and hobos, the corridors of the City Hall and the police stations crowded with vagrants —men, women and children actually perishing from hunger and cold—will do what they can to reverse present conditions. They will subscribe to the program which the calamity howlers would like to have carried out for the delectation of their misguided follow­ ers. It is only candidates out of office and politicians out of jobs who would have a “change.” They will not be gratified, for “prosperity Is tbe issue And all other questions are secondary.” —Chicago Tribune. How It 'Began. F-QREieK i How It Cndod. R O T E -C L 3s£ Democratic Trap?. In looking the country over nothing substantial can be found in the talk of tariff revision by the present or the nest Congress. The Democratic party wants the tariff ripped up on the gen­ eral principle that every set-back to business improves their political chances, and if they can stir up revis­ ionists among Bepublicansr so much the better for. Democratic purposes. But ; sensible Republicans do not "walk intos Democratic traps. — St0 Louts Grlobe-Dembcrat.

Presbyterians Meet in W inston and Hold Profitable Session. - The -Presbyterian Synod of North Carolina was in session at Winston- Salem last week. It was an able body and much business connected with the welfare of tfie denomination was transacted. The choice of Wilmington as the next .meeting place, the resolution of Rev. Dr. Morton seeking to stem the tide of Sabbath desecration and the forcible speech of Dr. Henry Louis Smith in the interest of Davidson College, followed- by the solemn cele­ bration of the Lord’s Supper, were the principal features of the session Thursday. There was no afternoon session, in order to permit the com­ mittees to get to work. After devo­ tional .exercises Moderator Vardell called the Synod to order. Among other preliminary business, the re­ port of the condition of Union Semi­ nary was read and referred. A report from the faculty of Union Seminary stated that a desire of sev­ eral members of the senior class of the Seminary to make a canvass in the interest of securing candidates for the ministry was refused, because 0 fthe time which would necessarily be taken from studies, and also be­ cause it was thought that more ma­ ture minds should be engaged in tjiis work. The faculty requested Synod to appoint some agent or agents, well qualified, to visit schools and acade­ mies in this interest. Referred. OVERTURES. An overture from Fayetteville Pres- byterany was read asking that the time of meeting of Synod be changed from Tuesday to Thursday running through Sunday into the next week, as tending to prevent the usual haste and confusion at the end of the ses­ sions as at present. An overture from Mecklenburg Presbytery asked Synod- to readjust as far as possible its system of col­ lections to conform to General As­ sembly’s system of collections.An overture fro mthe same Presby­ tery asked for the erection of a new Presbytery to be called King’s Moun­ tain Presbytery out of Mecklenburg, including the counties of Gaston, Lin­coln, Cleveland. Rutherford and Polk. The principal of the colored Indus­ trial and Mechanical - Institute atNorth Wilkesboro asked for permis­ sion to sell an acre of land belonging to the institution. NEXT MEETING AT WILMINGTON. Synod then heard nominations for the next meeting place of Synod. As there was a long preliminary lull. Rev. I. W. Moore, Jr.. .caused a smile by remarking that if no other place were available he would put In nomination Kobe, Japan, ■ near which place Mr. Moore is laboring as a missionary. Dr. J. M. Wells, ol the “First Wilming­ ton church, put Wilmington in nomi­nation and it was unanimously chosen. SABBATH OBSERVANCE. Rev. Dr. Morton offered a resolu­ tion urging better Sabbath observa- vance. It recited that the divine and historic sanctity of the Sabbath was sadly abused. Sunday travel, mails and newspapers were unblushingly profaning the day, and all this Sab­ bath desecration had a bad effect on the spiritual tone of the church. The feebleness of spiritual life in Ger­ many was largely due to laxideas of the Sabbath prevailing there. To­ gether with the death penalty attach­ing to the Sixth commandment and the long-life promise attaching to, the Fifth commandment, it should be re­ membered that the prosperity of the Jewish nation was intimately asso­ ciated in the Bible with the keeping Df the Sabbath. For centuries the colonistic churches have led in in­ sistence upon Sabbath observance. There was never greater need for an ippeal in this behalf than now. There is a ceaseless growth of novel fea­ tures upon our modem civilization, m d the greatest wisdom is required to adjust these complex influences to the keeping o fthe Sabbath. The duty is a delicate one. The church litera­ ture helps, but other aid must be in­voked. It was therefore resolved, in sff ect.1. That Synod recommend each Presbytery to appoint a committee on the Sabbath to co-operate with Synod's committee. 2. That the chairman of each pres- byterial committee be ex-officio a mem­ber of the synodical Sabbath commit­ tee.3. That Synod recommends that, r.t the spring meeting of each Presbytery, the ministers- of the Presbytery be in­ structed'to preach special sermons on the divine authority of the Sabbath. 4. That the. afternoon of the second day of each session of . Synod be set apart to consider the question of Sab­ bath observance.Dr. MortoD’s resolution was referred to the committee on Sabbath observ­ ance. THE TWENTIETH CENTURY FUND One of the-most important matters 1 to come.before Synod has not yet been reached. Two years ago the Synod at Raleigh decided to raise, »within five years, a twentieth- entury educational fund, of 3300.000. for the use of the va­ rious educational institutions under its control. Five-twelfths of this amount is to go to Davidson College; two-twelfths to. Union Theological Seminary at Richmond. Va.; and one- twelfth to the General Assembly's edu­cation work (home mission schools, etc.) The remaining four-twelfthsw '3100.000— is to be .apportioned"among the other institutions of learning un­ der care, of Synod. These include the tarious schools for woman like Peace Institute, Presbytqrian College for Wo­ men at Charlotte. Statesville Female College, Red Springs 3eniinary,. and Others.- The matter of this division is yet to be decided upon.-.Furthermore, Svnod at Charlotte last year appoint­ ed Rev. Dr. J. W. Stagg as traveling agent to collect this fund. Dr. Stage visited a number of the churches but afterwards resigned as these duties interfered too seriously with his regu­ lar pastoral work at Charlotte. The appointment of his successor is to come up at this meeting.. It is not .yet known whether a single agent will be put In the field or whether the Synod will be divided into sections and sever­al agents put to-work. Synod’s special committee is now considering this question and will probably report to­ morrow... It -is composed of Rev. Dr. R. F. Caldwell, chairman, Rev. Dr. E. W. Smith, Rev. Dr. I. W. Wells, and Elders J. M. Rogers, of Winston- Salem, and J. M. Mclver, or Gulf. Be­ sides this there- is another larger com­mittee which has charge of this twentieth century scheme, consisting of one member from each Presbytery, with Rev. Dr. J. M: Rose, of Laurin- burg, as chairman. - EMBARRASSED THE CLERGYMAN UlnUter1S MakeKlilft AU Bight VntU the Steid Appeared. A distinguished Episcopal clergy­ man was once called on to officiate at a fashionable summer resort church, ahd, finding only a short surplice and no cassock in the vestry, was very much disturbed at the thought of hav­ ing to appear in a vesture that to the frivolous would look like a white shirt and trousers. But a happy inspiration came to him. Why nOt wear one, of his wife’s black petticoats? The por­ tion that would show below the sur­ plice would look exactly like the regu­ lation cassock, and no one would ever be the wiser. So he hurriedly sent one of the ushers with an explanatory note to his wife in the hotel, and In the nick of time the petticoat arrived. The makeshift turned out to' be a per­ fect success, and no one at a distance could tell that he was not wearing a cassock. After the close of the ser­ vice he decided to go out to the body of the church without taking off his robes, in order to greet some friends. And he was soon the center of a group of fashionable women, when a green Irish maid from the hotel came up, and in a loud voice said to him; “Yer Riveronce, the missus sint me sfther her petticoat that ye do be wearin’, an’ I wuz to wait till ye take it off.”—New York Tribune. He Needed no: Introduction. An amusing story comes from Paris of the device adopted, Sy a prominent clubman of wealth and position to form the acquaintance of a lady well known for her beauty in social and theatrical circles. The lady was lunching in a fashionable restaurant in the Bois de Boulogne'; accompanied by her equally well-known poodle, says the London Globe. The dog was running from table to table, pick­ ing up pieces and collecting morsals frOm other diners, and presently, when it returned to its mistress, she was astonished to see written on its back in red chalk, “Tell your mistress that she is simply adorable and I love her-. exceedingly.” The gentleman signed his-name. After this a formal Introduction was no longer necessary. AU He Was Paid For. The leader of the band frowned as he brought the music to a standstill in the middle of a bar. “Say, Pumpernickel,” he demanded, In a loud whisper, “what do you mean by playing a lot of half notes where there should be whole?’ Pumpernickel took the horn off his neck. “Veil,” said he, “I make explan- tionings by you. Yon rememper dot you cud down my vages to halluf, don’d you?” The leader stared in amazement. He had done so, but— “Und so I gontinuings to make der nodes'out mid dis horn, halluf nodes, until der vages vos restorded unto whole vages. Aind it, yes?” Sometimes a comedian can produce a grave crisis.*—Cincinnati Commer- cial-Tribune. Hoyt'k Tlill?

A German Publisher’s Rather Ex­ pressive Views. * The' Author, of London, publishes the following “literary hints for the wealthy and cultivate^*1 which, it says, were taken from a German pub­ lisher’s advertisements: - A gentleman does not give his daughter a dowry of from five to fifty thousand pounds and forget to pro­ vide her with a bookcase. A gentleman does not have a full wine cellar and empty book shelves. A ,gentleman doss not use eau-de- cologne and read greasy volumes from a circulating library. A gentleman does not borrow good works which he is in a position to buy. A gentleman does not talk about the latest literature when he is acquainted only with what has been said Cf it by the reviewers. A gentleman does not cut books with his fingers, even after having washed his hands. A gentleman does not possess a box of carpenter’s tools, but no paper knife. A gentleman does not receive books for review and give them away or sell them without opening them. A gentleman does uot make pres­ ents only of things which are entirely without intellectual value. A gentleman does not send to hiu bookseller for a parcel of books on approval, and after having read them, return them, saying that none of them suit him. A gentleman does not ‘buy only sixpenny cheap editions. A gentleman does not depend for his reading upon the daily journals and illustrated weeklies. . Jumped Into Engine Stack. A dispatch from Joplin, Mo., says: Owen Greelish, of Leavenworth, Kas,, was killed between Lebanon and Springfield by jumping into the fun­ nel of the locomotive smoke stack on Nie west bound St. Louis and San Francisco passenger train. The dis­ patch says the young man committed suicide. He climbed to the top of the water tank and when the train stopped jumped into the smoke stack whooping as he leaped. He was pulled out by the train crew horribly burned and died in a few moments. His body was taken to Lebanon. Gree- lish’s brother; in this city, knows noth­ ing of the details, but denies that the death was suicidal. He says that he received a postal the day before and tiiat his brother did not seem dejected or liable to kill himself.
