Democracy to appeal to the. law abiding ele­ ment, must either pledge themsel­ ves to the repeal of the IIth and 15 amendments to the Constitution, or be honest enough to acqniesce in the enforcement of the mandatory clause cutting down representation in Congress and the electoral col­ lege.

The party plan and the party law has been foil wed, and from the vote it looks if the people wanted it just as it is. No amount of critiscism can now change the the result. It can only lead to discord and dis­ content.

BRADLEY’S SPEECH SECOND IHli ROOSEVELT’S JfOSHKATION. Chicago, Juue 23.—Following is the speech of cx-Gov. AVilliam O. Bradley, of Kentucky, .seconding the nomination of Itoosevelt : The Kepublican jiarty has made no mistakes ; therefore, it lias uo apoligie; to offer? It has broken no promises ; therefore, it enters no plea of couf’ession and avoid, iuice, It offers no guaranty for the future save the reeoid of its past. It points to an enormously iu creased commerce, at home and abroad. To free homes given to free people. To a war waged to drive the tyrant from Cuba, and a promise faithfully kept to give to the army aud navy, whoso deeds of valor have added imperishable glory to America. To the elec­ tion of churches and school houses aud the inauguration of civil gov­ ernment in the Philip!lies. To the universal prosperity now prevailing throughout the Republic. To a generous system of pensions, pro­ vided Ior those who fought, and. the families of those wiio.died, that the Union might be preserved To the gigautic rebellion of all time, courageously met and completely Siibilned.

'lnSNjvs1 why did they not! spot of the earlh an call the, long the fulfillment of that prediction. For nearly half a century the record of the KepnbIiean party has been Se interwoven with the coun­ try’s history that each is a part of the other, and neither can be writ­ ten without including the other. Indeed, during that time the Re­ publican party has been the couu­ try. In diplomacy, in progress, in the arts and sciences, in prosperity and adversity, in peace and war, at home aud abroad, on land and sea, the Republican party has been true to every trust, equal to every emer­ gency, has continually elevated and advanced the standard of Ameri­ can honor and glory, and now pro­ claims to the world that iu the lexi­ con of patriotic endeavor and achi­ evement there is no such word as “ fail.” And during all these eventful years, the Democratic party has re­ sisted every step of advancement and progress. It has been a stupid objector, a miserable mal-conteot and a common scold. For two presidential terms it administered public affairs, and during each crip­ pled commerce, unsettled and de­ creased values, paralizedindustries, closed manufactories, and made it necessary for public charity to pro­ vide food for the starving unem­ ployed, It has exchanged its time- honored principles for dangerous heresies and betrayed its leaders, nutil it is without a leader and in anxious search of a platform. It has abandoned.its Moses and is nn able to discover a Joshua. It does not certainty know what it wants ; and, if it did, would not know where to find it, It does not know what it is for; anil, if it did, would not know how to express it. It does not know what to do; and, if it did would not know how to do it. Men of the North, we come from the battlefield, consecrated to free dom with the blood of your brave sous. AVe are the custodians of your patriot dead, and each year commemorate their deeds and dec­ orate their graves with flowers. In their names, and by theii memories, the disfranchised South appeals to you for justice. Shall it be said that j our sous marched and fonghi and died in vain ? Shali it be said that a nation can exist part slave and part free ? Are people free who are forced to bear the burden aDd yet denied the highest privilege of citizenship? If it be true that war rant may not be found in the Con­ stitution to prevent- disfranchise­ ment, then we beg that yon no longer permit the disfranchised and oppressed to be estimated for the purpose of increasing the electoral strength of their oppressors. Though the grape is crushed, and the giain is ground, they produce neither wine nor bread for the per­ secuted meu of the South. Sur rounded by difficulties, striving iu vain to be Kecr-Chey instinctively turn to the brave, true man, who has said that lie would pot close the door of -hope on a- strngglin: race. The Southern. Republicans are devoted to him and will follow him with all the affection and eu th!isia-sm with which the' “ Old Guard” followed Napoleon. They have unshaken faith in his superb courage, even-handed justice and unsullied honor, AVe have not for­ gotten how, when the war clouds hung dark in the nation’s horizon, he sacrificed office, aiid leitahappy home, and wife and children, to bare iiis bosom in the storm of bat- tlq. The same patriotism and cour­ age that inspired him then has ani­ mated him throughout his adminis­ tration. When others stood ap­ palled in the presence of the great strike he cheerfully and with alac­ rity assumed a responsibility not officially incumbent upon him and bravely sprang in the breach suc­ ceeded in procuring a; settlement that brought tranquility to the rep­ resentatives of.capital anil smiles and sunshine into the -faces- and hemes of the humble laborers. He unhesitatingly measured swords with the giant corporation which threatened the people with -wrong iinil oppression and brought it into siibjcc.tion., He'kno>vs how and wlien to plan, and, better still, how and when to esecrte A'1”* "fj he accomplishedmorein afew hburs than his predecessors accomplished in more than a hundred years. He did not attempt to unloose, he cut, the Gordian knot. His enemies say that he cannot be trusted ; but the people know ihat one who always does the right thing at the right, and in the right way, is entitled to their implicit confidence. His enemies say that he is uusafe. His record proves that he is unsafe only to the law­ less, the trickster, the grafter, and those who deny equal protection of the law to any class of American, citizens. But in the discharge of the great trusts devolved upon him he has proven a harbor of safety. His enemies predicted that he would involve the nation iu war; but all his victories have been those of deplomaucy and peace, aud to­ day he enjoys the respect and friendship of every foreign power. He has not been the pliable in­ strument of any man or Set of men. He is the creator, not the eieature, of public sentiment. He is not con­ trolled by popular clamor, but liews to the line, let the chips fall where they may. He is cot a lag­ gard, a time-server or an idle ob­ server. He loses no opportunity on account of timid doubt or annoy­ ing hesitation. Heis not a follower, but every inch a'leader, He is net an imitator, but throughly origi­ nal, guided alone by a clear con­ ception of right and the genius of common sense. He boldly aud fearlessly ad van ces ; he never sounds the retreat. Imbued with never-failing courage, coinbind with sound and conserva­ tive judgment; brilliant as a me­ te )r, yet steady and certain as the sun in its coarse ; gifted with broad iud intelligent statesmanship; fixed in lofty purpose, he is the embodi­ ment of American ideas, American vigor and the most exalted type of American manhood. He wa3 born to fulfill a mission. That mission, in part. aceomplish- :d, will lie completed in coming years, and his name shall go ring­ ing down the centuries with those nf the immortal few “ who were not born to die.” In Kentucky we have “ conten­ ded against princpalities and pow­ ers and the rulers of darkness,” VVe have, in truth, fought with all manner of beasts, not at Rpbesns— but at Fraukfort. AYe are nerving ourselves for the coming conflict, and in November next hope to break the chains which partisan legislation has thrown around us and restore freedom to the State which gave birtii to Abraham Lin­ coln and holds within iis bosom the ashes of Henry Clay.

London, By Cable.—Over 700 Danisli and Norwegian emigrants bound for New York -arc believed to have been drowned in tlie North Atlantic on June £S. Out of nearly 800 souls on board- the Danish steamer Norge, which left Copenhagen June 22, only 27 are known to be alive and for the rest no hope is held out. When last seen the Norge was sink­ ing where she struck on the Islet of RocUalll whcse isolated peak raises it­ self from a deadly Atlantic reef, some 290 miles oil the west coast of Scotland. Early on the morning of last Tuesday the Norge, whirh was out of her course in heavy weather, ran onto the Rockall reef. The Norgo was quickly backed off but the heavy seas poured in through a rent in her bows. The emigrants, who were then await** in | their breakfast, ran on deck. The hayc-hways were scarcely built for these hundreds of souls and became clogged. The Norge quickly began to go down by the head. Eight boats were lowered and into these the women and children were hurriedly put. Six of these boats smashed against the side of the Norge and their helpless inmates were caught up by the heavy seas. Two boat loads got away safely from the side of the sinking ship and many of the emi­ grants v,!:o were left on board seizing life boils, -Iirew themselves into the sea and were drowned. . Captain Gun- del, so say Uie survivors, stood on the bridge of the doomed vessel until it could be seen no more. The boiils kept together some hours. Practically ail of their occupants were passengers and not used to handling such craft. The boat occupied by the survivors landed at Grimsby was a life boat. One account says that three boats were successfully launched, the other two holding about ten persons each. The lifeboat made faster progress and I'eN in with the Salvia. What became of the ollici’ heats is not known. The res­ cue of these on the lifeboat took place at S o’clock on the morning of June 29, the survivors consisting of 20 men, one of them a scnraan, six women and a girl. Oiie of the survivors said that when he got on dock the Norge was half sub­ merged and was rapidly getting lower in the water. Half mad with fright the survivors all struggled for places in the boats. They fought their way to the big lifeboat and an officer stowed in the six women and the girl and then told the mm to get in. The officer then took cbarg* and got the boat t:> the side of the Norge. Seing that the boat was already overladen, the officer with }?reat heroism jumped into the water and tried to board another boat which was not so full. Ko failed and was drowned. In the s*ia by this time was a mass of struggling men, women and children graspinir and choking from the effects Cf the water. They tried to get in tho already overladen boats, but were beat­ en off with oars. The boat rowed clear of this seething mass and just as she drew a wav the Norge went down. Peter Nelson, one of the survivors, described as a young American, said: “For some hours we rowed in company with the other boats, but the strong tide drifted us away from the others and noihing has been seen of them since. The Salvia picked us up and we were well cared for on board the Traw­ ler. AU or us lost our entire belong­ ings. I Tc- had no lime in that fierce fight for life tn thuik of anything but the Ketliii^ of seats in the boat.” Tlie only liope exceot for those known to have escaped is. that some few of the emigrants might have been washed upon the barren rocks. Their chance of being rescued even then is practically nil. for vessels sailing the North Atlantic give Rockall a wide birth as possible. Prominent Attorney Dead. Montgcmcr:.-, AIa., Special.—Capt.

Assaults on Various Positions Around the Beleagured City—Re­ pulsed Last Saturday. St. Petersburg, By Cable.—The fol­ lowing dispatch has been received at the War Office from General Zilinsky.: “The following reports have reach­ ed here (Liao Yang) from Port Ar­ thur: ‘On June 26th the Japanese dis­ played great activity at all their out­ posts, and in the hope of recapturing the mountains of War-Tsei-Laza (?) which had been taken from them, they attacked, but were again repulsed and our troops now occupy the village of Beikhohoon, northeast of Sia-Ping- Tao. The enemy maintained a heavy fire at long range on our left flank from their squadron, which lies in Talien-Wan Bay, in full vi.ew of Port Arthur. It consists of a cruiser, two torpedo boat destroyers, and seven merchant ships, which evidently brought cargoes into the bay. “ ‘On the night of June 24th-June 2oth the Japanese torpedo boats re­ approached the fortress, and at four in the morning of June 26th the ene­ my began to cannonade from their vessels in Siao-Ping-Tao Bay, direct­ ing their fire towards the whole coast towards the north, from the "bay to Mount TJit-Selo, and then attacked in great force, firstly height No. 131; secondly, height No. 126. “ ‘The latter were attacked by a small detachment landed for this pur­ pose. These two positions were held by our riflemen, who, after driving oif three attacks with heavy losses, retired, and, being pressed by the en­ emy, sought refuge on the heights of Louu-Van-Tian. The enemy attacked this position in great force, employing at least a division, but the assaults were repulsed. “ ‘At 3:3« p. m. the Japanese ap­ peared on the Port Arthur road in great strength and attacked Kwin- Shan (Guin-San-Shan). The riflemen who held the right with two battal­ ions, retired. The Japanese turned them from the rear, losing heavily in the manoeuvre. Our torpedo boats were of small assistance to us, advan­ cing on Loun-Van-Tian and bombaid-' ing the coast occupied by the enemy. ‘“ Our losses were seven officers and about two hundred soldiers killed or wounded. Our mines exploded at the proper time, blowing up at least fifty Japanese. Their losses were evi­ dently considerable. “ ‘According to the latest advices, large columns of the enemy are marching from Dalny towards the vil­ lage of Suan-Tsan-Hon and Khoumt Mountain. " ‘On June 27 there was a fusilade at the Japanese outposts, due to the Japanese establishing themselves on the summit of Luon-Van-Tian Moun­ tain. Our gunboats proceeded yestcr- c ay towards Loun-Van-Tian and bom­ barded the shore. ‘“ Yesterday evening the forts and batteries at Port Arthur opened fire on tho Japanese torpedo boats.' ” Arrested In Atlanta.

Thie way in which billiard playing is Simplified by the device of a Mun­ ich professor has astonished those who have witnessed the ,test. The sides of an ordinary billiard table are provided with six mirrors, one or more of which can be turned down when a play is made, and the advantage rests In the tact that any image is reflected in the ES me angle in which it falls on the mirror, just as the billiard ball re­ bounds from the cushion in the same r.ngle as that of striking. The mirror chpws at once the duierent ways in which a . shot can.-be made. v . Fine Farming Section Desolated by Hail, Wind and Rain. Laurinburg, Special.—Late Saturday afternoon Scotland county was visited by another severe hail storm, and from what can be learned equally as much damage was done by this as by the storm of some two weeks ago. This storm came through the neigh­ borhood around and below Gibson and the area covered embraced some of the choicest farming lands itt the county. Where the cotton Was knee high before the hail there are only stems from two to three inchcs high left. Pine trees are completely peeled on the sides exposed to the hail. It is impossible to give an accurate es­ timate of the damage with present in­ formation. Telephone lines are all down. The hail was accompanied by a severe rain and wind storm. In one instance the hail fell with such force that the occupants of a house did not discover that two trees had blown down on it until after the storm. Hail Ruins Crops. Matthews, Special—This section was visited by a terrific hail and wind storm Saturday afternoon about 4 o’clock. The storm came from the di­ rection of Providence church, crossed between Indian Trail and went east­ ward as far as Stewart’s mill in tJnioil county. The track of the stoi'ra was about One and one-half iniles wide and at least nine miles in length. Cotton, corn and all crops in Its path look now tq be almost if not completely destroy­ ed by hall. The wind blew down the colored Presbyterian church here, also Mr. E1 F, ginelair'B bai'fl, R8v, P. C.

A very conservative estimate would place the damage from $8,000 to $15,» ooo to the cotton crop alone.

St. Petersburg, Russia—The subma­ rine boat Delfin sank at her moorings in the Neva with the loss of Lieutenant Cherkasoff aud twenty men. The officers and the men detailed for submarine boat instruction had assem­ bled and three officers decided to go down In the Delfin, although her cap­ tain was not present, relying on the ex­ perience of her skilled crew. A score of novices wore anxious to go. The Delfiu’s nominal capacity Is ten men, instead of which thirty-two en­ tered the boat, bringing her manhole in dangerous proximity to the river level. Just then a tug passed, sending a heavy wash against the boat. As soon as the water splashed into the submarine boat’s interior it created a panic among the novices and one of them tried to get out of the manhole! which the older hands were screwing down preparatory to the descent, the submerging compartment having al­ ready been opened. The water rushed in, and as the sub­ merged vessel sank the officers and some of the men were saved by being blown up through the manhole by the rush of escaping air. The Deifin short­ ly afterward was raised. The Delfin is Russia’s best subma­ rine boat. She uuderwent a successful trial in 1903, following the Cronstadt squadron to Reyal. TORNADO WRECKS MOSCOW.

MUST NOT PLAY RACES GOVERNMENT HAS BIG DEFICIT. Revenues For Fiscal Year $40,000,039 Less Than the Expenditures. Washington, D. C.—The Govern­ ment’s ledger for the fiscal year, which ended June 30, shows that the expendi­ tures exceeded the revenues by $11,- 352,320, the receipts aggregating $541,- 180,745 and the disbursements S5S2,- 539,071. The expenditures, however, inclndo $50,000,000 paid foi the Panama Cana! fight of way and the $4,000,000 loan to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, which are not properly to be counted in the regular expenses of the Gov­ ernment. Excluding these two items there would be a surplus of $13,247,- 074, against an estimate of $14,000,000 made at the beginniug of the fiscal year by the Secretary of the Treasury. Compared with the revenues of the previous fiscal year the revenues shew a failing off of S17.700.7S0. while the disbursements increased $21,702,481. All and more of this decrease was in the revenues from customs, which amounted to $232,008,483, or $21,323,- 235 less than in the fiscal year of 1903. The receipts from internal revenues aggregated $232,435,095. exceeding those of the previous year by $2,320,- 440. The increase in expenditures was mainly iu the Navy, which expended a total of $102,757,073. or $20,081,271 more than last year. The item for pen­ sions also shows an increase of nearly $4,000,000, on account of the service pension. The receipts for customs were re­ duced between $0,000,000 and $8,000,- 009 by the operations of the Cuban reciprocity treaty.

'■ ,h-i-Rft New York City.—A vigorous crusade against betting on horse races and gambling In general lifts beeil started by a huhiber bf the lai-gest business housed in New, York; - Warning was Servfcd oil binpidyci iil Several cases that if they continued patronizing pool­ rooms or visiting the race tracks their resignations would be requested. The fight is the most far-reaching ever carried out in this city. In a let­ ter directed.to, its arm$ hf fcmployes the Equitable Life Assurance Society declares in no unmistakable language that if any of the men working for the society have anything whatever to do with the races they will be discharged. The New York and Mutual Life insur­ ance companies have likewise begun a war en gambling:., _ ................. . Several of the big BrJ goods houses have joined in the auti-betting crusade,, chief among these being Macy’s and Saks & Co. Nathan Straus, of Macy’s! said: ’ “I am glad .to see this question agi­ tated: I fconsidei- the growing tenden­ cy to make wagers on horse races one of the greatest evils that threaten our young men of to-day, and employers of young men owe it to themselves,- as well as. to their employes, to do what is possible td stamp it blit; “A young man who gambles is nfit a good employe, and I am frank to say that if I knew of a person in my employ frequenting the race track or poolrooms I would discharge him or her. " “ Gambling Is the ififtst IiisldiouS of vices; aud itft ittcfeftse iii fftcent years is really alarming: Of the m,iny forms horse-race gambling is thft most dan­ gerous, becausft the hiost accessible, and Cbmbines Sport with speculation, and a concerted effort among large em­ ployers to put an end to speculation among employes who cannot afford it —and no man can afford to gamble— should be productive of much good.” Seerelary Conflei of Siiks & Cd., said! “First I woiiid warn the yftung man and then If he continued to Use the track Ui* pooiroom for betting purposes I would take steps to dismiss lilm from the employ of the cbmpany.” The letter sent by the Equitable So= ciety is as follows: “Deaf Sir—For reasons that seem proper to the officials of the society, j‘ou are hereby notified that your pres­ ence on a race track, in a poolroom or in future to be seen in company with persons whose business is to place bets on horse races, will be counted sufficient excuse to which to request your resignation from the affairs of the society. “To make certain that the excuse of not having been duly notified as to this new ruling of the society, and for future reference, you will kindly place your proper signature on this com­ munication and return to the office of the general manager.” Every one of the army of meu em­ ployed by the Equitable Life Assur­ ance Society has received a copy of the above letter. The communication was not signed, but as one of the em­ ployes said, “It didn’t have to be.” In the office of the New York Life Insurance Company it was said that so many uppleasant incidents had arisen, flue to betting on the races, that the heads of the departments held a meet­ ing to consider means of putting a stop to the evil. ■There were several summary dlsmis- sals from the clerical force of the Mu­ tual Life Insurance Company recently because the men paid too much atten­ tion to the racing news. The general manager of a depart­ ment store discovered that every day at noon a hand-book man appeared at a certain corner of the store and took bets from salesmen, saleswomen, cash boys and cash girls. Commissions as low as ten cents were taken. The em­ ployes of this store were warned that any one who bet on tile races during business hours would be dismissed.Similar notices have been posted in several houses in the wholesale dis­ trict.

Nearly 5000 Carloads Will Be Shipped From That State. Atlanta, Ga,—Advices from Fort Val­ ley and Marshallville, the peach ceu- tres of the State, are to the effect (bat the crop of peaches from the State will be between 4000 and 4500 car­ loads, the greatest crop on record. The Central Georgia has made prepara­ tions to handle 3300 carloads of peaches. Fully 1000 cars will be shipped by other roads. The rail­ roads estimate that one-third of the shipments will go to New York, about fifteen*'per cent, to Philadelphia, aud the rest to Chicago, Boston and other larger cities. The crop which is being shipped now is the Carnian, au intermediate variety that is 'next to the Elberta in popularity and season. Growers re­ port that prices have been good so far. The orchards are weighed down with fruit.An unusually large crop of water­ melons, canteloupes and plums is also promised. Some idea of the magni­ tude of the fruit and melon industry In this State may be gained from the following table carefully prepared by the railroads and the Georgia Fruit Growers' Association: Trees planted ii. .... .Trees planted in the spring of 1904 919,322Bearing plum trees........................ 162,502Bearing pear trees.............. * 45,056Bearing apple trees........................ 5*000Acres of watermelons planted.... 2,926Acres of Irish potatoes planted.... 2S4Acres of other vegetables planted. 350Acres of cantaloupes planted 1,168 American Yacht Beats Kaiser’s.

Interesting Discovery Recently Made in the Roman Forum. King Victor Emmanuel visited the Forum the other day to inspect the vases recently discovered concealed in the foundation stone of the famous equestrian statue of Emperor Domi- tian. This discoverey is considered to be the greatest made in recent years. Among the visitors present were ex-Maydr Seth Low of New York, and Prof. White of Harvard uni­ versity, to each of whom the king spoke in the most cordial. manner. The importance of the discovery in the Forum lies in the fact that on account of it the ideas previously held as to the age of Roman pottery will have to be entirely revised. Among five terra cotta vases found in Hhe Coundation stone of the, Domitian statue were three of the primitive black kmd known as "bucchero, with the modeling and engraved lines usual on pottery of that character. AU five vases were of a type hitherto regarded as of extreme antiquity. BANK DEPOSIT ^ 9 ^ 3 g v t / v RMlrotd Fare FaJd. 500^ * FHBE Courses Offered.Bcatfd «! Ges r.

The distance from Jlocksville is only 2S miles, and the entire expenses, ex­ clusive of railroad fare, is only S3 to §4 per week. Every teacher onght to go. They would be greatly bouelitted. J. D.

Three Philadelphians visited Richmond, Va., and, asking as to the use and purpose of this or that building, vvere told in every case thai it wim a tobacco factory. An aged negro gave them the informa- iion ; and they, tiring of the mo­ noton v of the reply, pointed to a white frame building on a hill and asked whose tobacco factory it was. The old fellow replied : “ Dat, sah, am no fuct-ry. Dat am S’t’ •John’s ’Piscopal Church, where Marse Patrick Henry done get up an ax de Lawd to gib him liberty or gib him deaf.” “ Well, uncle,” asked one*of the trio, “ which .did the Lord give him I ” “ ’Pears to me yo’ must indeed be strangers hereabouts,” he answered ; “ else,' it strikes me. yo’d know dat, in due time, de Lavyd galie Marse ITcnry bbfe, ’ ’- -Exchange. .

Is it the purpose of the Sup’t to fix things so only Democrats can go to the A. & 31. College ! Is not the A. & 31. College a State institution maintained out of the people’s taxes? Do not Republicans pay .'taxes, and have they not a right to the benefits of the6e free scholars hips as well as Democrats! YVehave ottered our colums to Prof. Hodgesfreeof charge for such notices, and we are surprised that he does not avail himself of them. The Repuhlica'ns in their platform cliarges the Dem­ ocrats with using our public schools for the interest of their partizan machine, and we think justly so. The Siiperintent of oar schools has no love for the editor of The R e c o r d,|but he should not deprive Republican boys of these advant­ ages because if his personal dis­ likes. YVe publish these notices, not because of any admiration for him, but for the good of the gen­ eral public, and to advance the cause of education. Partizan poli­ tics should be kept out of our pub­ lic school system > TUB OLD SOLDIBB- When it comes to the question of treatment of the old soldier the Democratic party is anxious to compare rci-onls with the Kepnbli race. Sometimes it happens that the Democnits give a man, a white num. who was not a Coufedemte soliiicr, a nomin Aiou for an office over an old soldier. Bnt the Re­ publicans when they had a chance to give an office to an old one-leg gcti soldier or a big buck ni-.ger who wanted the same office gave tkc.vllice to the nigger. This was a (rue test of what these Republi­ can office lifildcrs thought of the old soldier. A negro and a one-- Ieggrd soldier wanted au office aud they alt with one accord voted for and gave the office to the colored man. In the face of this record they sometimes talk aliout the old soldier. Tiien too the Deincratic ]iarty claims the credit of pension­ ing the old soldier, while many Re­ publicans are dead on payiug him a red cent. They are not sincere in what they say along this line. Thcir duplicity will overtake them. H pays in the long run to be both fair and sincere in all things.— Lrxiugton Dispatch. The above sounds mighty nice, cdming from a party which has been guilty of the same tliiug and worse, If the “very learned” edi­ tor of the Dispatch will take the Senate Journal of 1872 and ’«3 aud look on page 7, he will see where his party, the Democrats, elected Guilford Christinas, a negio assist­ ant door-keeper over Ochiltree and Douglass, white meu and ex-eon- fedcrate soldiers. Some people are either ignorant or presume upon the ignorance of the people in such matters, but the people are not going to lie deceived by the nigger yell this year. Sound money, pro­ tection, and good prices for the (ariner’s products are of more im portance than to put a tew nigger Imwlcrs in office to spend the peo­ ple’s money in wineing and dining ‘lie pie-eaters at JIoiehead, aud issuing frec-passes over the States Hailnmd to thirty-five Democratic lawyers. PLBASE TELL US. Even some of the Republican papers are having some fun out of Senator Lodge’s platform at the RepnblicanConventiou in Chicago. He wrote it himself aud in one sec­ tion he says that all panics have followed a Democratic tariff. Just us a matter of history it may be stated that every panic since the war came under a Republican tariff That oi 1892 wasduring Clevlaud’s administration, it is true, but it was under the JIc-Kinley tariff and the panic was six months old before the Wilson bill, a Democratic measure, was ever enacted. — Greensboro Record. If the above contention of our Democratic friends is true, will they please tell us why it took a Republican administration to bring about good times! 3Ir. Clevelaud was elected in 1S92, and soon there­ after the Democratic tariff was enacted iuto law. Yet we find de­ pression and hard times until 1897, when McKinley was President, and low prices were continued under Mr. Cleveland’s entire administra­ tion , yet they would have the people believe that the Republicans were responsible for theiradminisiration, and the hard times which charac teilzed it. You may be able to fool some of the people with such stnff but not all of them by a jug full. The greatest strides and de­ velopment have taken place under the Republicans, and the people know ic, 3tr. Democrat, aud you can’t sift saud iu their eyes. Henry G. Davis of YYest Virginia, for Vice-President. They had a strenuous time, and the Demociatic papers character­ ized it, a mob. JIeu who are more intent on winning office and power often lose their heads and resolve themselves into a mob rather than a deliberative assembly. The platform is made np of de­ nunciations of Republicans, and promises nothing to the people. Their cowardice was shown by their ignoring one of the great ques­ tions which lie at the foundation of business prosperity—Sound money. They were afraid to declare for 16 to I, and equally afraid to eudorse the gold standard. The people cannot be deceived by such a dodge, and the actiou of the Demo­ crats will only increase Roosevelt’s majority. The business element prefer cer­ tainty to uncertainty, and can turn to the Republican party to carry out its party platform and pledges in the interest of the people, READ THESE. Democratic issues never live to be four-year-olds. The country is not yet ready to forget the four years of Cleveland disaster between 1893 and 1807, Yotersare invited by the Repub­ lican party to study its record-; the Democrats earnestly - hope that their’s may be forgotten. Democratic managers are now telliug what they expect their party j to do under wise leadership. Itj wonld certainly be a novel experi-1 Southern paper. That is certainly ence to the rank and file to find i a sign of development and growth. that- the Democrats wonld learn wisdom by that time. Democrats profess to be terribly, worried over President Roosevelt’s “aggressive foreign policy.” Kai- sonli, the Turk, and all that class who refuse to respect the rights of American citizens and American interests share the Democratic fear in this respect. “The Democratic party is big enough to write its own platform, select its own candidates and man­ age its own campaign,” shonts a themselves under wise leadership.

At the last term of the YVilkes Superior Court when a bill should have been drawn by the Solicitor against D. N. Edwards and J. T. Evans charged with perjury, Solici­ tor Gra\res rose iu open court aud made the following remarks: “Jlay it please your Honor: This is a pre­ sentment against the defeudauts for perjury, for things they swore iu the prosecution of II. F. Jones for perjury, and upon their testimony the said Jones was convicted, and I therefore refuse to prosecute this case against them.” Is it any wonder that crime is rampant when the Solicitor, whose sworn duty is to prosecute crimi­ nals, refuses in open court to prose­ cute those charged with so grave a crime as perjury ! As to the gni't ol H. F. Jones we do not pretend to say, but at any rate the verdict was set aside by Judge Starbmk. If. these parties are guilty why not prosecute them! Since the charge, why not investigate ? Does theSo licitor refuse to prosecute theseinew because they are Democrats? It looks likethat might be the reason. If Edwards and Evans were some j»oor fellows charged with even less bffiriices would the Solicitor so gracefully refuse to prosecute them! Vfe expect not. Then what has thwarted the hand of justice iu this, case ?,-• YYiiat may we. expect our Democratic officials to do next! Democratic papers abused Re­ publican officers holders for going to their State Convention. Yet xvhen the Democratic Convention came, but one State officer remained at his post in Raleigh, and he had fever, or he would have been there. —Times-JIereuiy.

The Democratic party never expects the farmer’s vote ex­ cept when he has been ravaged by drought aud the chinch bng. Reports from the commercial agencies show that there has been marked levival of business all along the line in the last two weeks. Every report of this kiud is an ad­ ditional note in the Democratic elegy of grief. In reply to the Democratic ex­ pressions of fear of imperialism the Republican administration points to CuImi and Panama as two nexv, Republics that have been added to the xvorld’s map and tiro noble- contributions to the cause of human1 advancement that- have been under the sponsorship of Piesident Roose- elt and a loyal Congress; Democratic leaders are denounc­ ing JIr. Bryan for standing on the platform of his party. There is no other polical organization in the xi'orld that places a premium on desertion. Yretrans of the civil xx-ar are about convincedthattheoul.v way they can escape the criticisms of the Detncj crats on the pension question is to die. About the only thing the real, American,thinking Demoera tshax'e to be thankful tor is that their party did not xrin in 1896 or 1900. YrOters xvill doubtless observe that no foreign power is thinking or talking about overthroxving the JIonroe Doctrine just uow. Democratic leaders assert that the Republican Conx'ention at Chi­ cago was apathetic. It may have seemed that way to politicians who have drawn upon Populists and Socialists tor enthusiasm at con- x’eutious. Democrats declare they want to clean out the Augean stables. The appearance of the men selected for the task causes a natural suspicion that it would be the part of wis­ dom to lock up the fork. There is mere prospect of the Republicans currying Missouri than there is of their losing Nexv York. ‘ Uncle Joe ” CaUnon declares that “ YYe JIove C u” is. the Re- publican motto. “ YY’e YVant On ’’ about the only proposition upon which the wrangling tactions of Democracy can unite.

Parker was nominated for President by tho National Democratic ConvenUon on Saturday morning at 6:40, central time. On tie first ballot he received SC7 ballots—more than the two-thirds Hecessanr to a choice. There was unbounded enthusiasm among the delegates when the result of tho vote was announced. The Domocratic National Convention which assembled in St. Louis on July 6th was one of tho largest representa­ tive bc-ilics that ever graced a conven­ tion hall m:;cc tbe begining of the re­ public. john Sharp Williams was temporary chairman, and made a vigorous speech, arraigning tho Republican position on all questions. The committee on permanent or- fpnteayon nominated Champ Clark, of Missouri, for permanent chairman. The platform was adopted on Friday nipht, and Parker, Bryan and Gray rwcre eaci\ placed In nomination. Tho following is taken from the Jiominaricn speech of Mr. Littleton who Tiipr-vi ;! i: 11 -re Parker’s name before the convention: 1 ■ : * “Mt. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: “We do not expect here that stupid peace which smells of chloroform. We Uo not wish that unctuous unanimity which springs from the uiiconflicting emotions oi a solitary man. Wc would not have our harmony ia a single har- aoss. We, too, love the stir of a strenu­ ous life; but we believe In equal strenu- ouaaesa for all and special strenuous- aess £o.r none. We do not derive our Scorer from the seats of the mighty, but 'from the souls of tbe humble. We do not ask for insane agreement springing -Train faUhless fire; but ratiier out­ bursts ox dissension Issuing from ro­ bust freedom. We are not In executive session, but rather in the committee of the whole. We were sent here by the lieoplo to Deleet a candidate. We were not sont licre by tho candidate to notify tbe people. Our adversaries, by dwell­ ing tenderly on the simplicity of the Ia- -Siented McKinley, managed to endure for three, days the strenuostty of Roose- ’velt. By recounting in affectionate ierm3 the achievements of the one, they evoked an enthusiasm which they Smmediately credited to the other. Through tears that were shed for the no!;Io dead, they saw a larger outline of tho living. Driven by lash and lured by luck, they called on all the sacred dust to kep their spirits up. Set to run for three lull eays, tho pendulum peterej out, the hands stuck fast, and only I Btrenuoas shalro could make the wheels go round. Spiritless in the sullen task, tiey worked uphill the grain and grav­ ity of the hour. Without the master wbom they had learned to love, they IingereI uuder the whip of one whom tiey bave learned to fear. Stripped oi premediatatcd pomp and shorn oi soothing phrase, the occasion meant nG more or less than an era of boots and spurs. Take away the tribute to the dead and all that is left is a horseman on the slopes of Ean Juan. Remove the reverend black that tells of a nation’s grief, and underneath is a khaki uni­ form. Withold the record made by hands and hearts now still, and all that is left is usurpation’s bold account. Pull off the mask that wears the kindly Bmilo of peace and see the grim and flrai set teetb of war. It was the chango from sure and certain wayB to tho shifting, eddying currents of the wild unknown. It was a leap In tie darkness 0f Republican eclipse, and four years hence will find them vainly ,looking for the light It marks the Blace where a party, In a year’s time, iorsook tho beaten path and went on a winding way of untraveled roads. It makes the gap between the era of the conservative and the radical. It looks •good now because they do not Bee !where tho old force ends and the now !begins. ‘‘AVe appeal to every Democrat from 'everywhere to forget the hitter war­ fare of the past; forget the strife and !anger of tbe older, other days; abandon jail the grudge and rancor of party dis­ content, and, recalling with ever-ln- Icroasing pride, the triumphs of our flt- -ty years of a constitutional government of IiSerty and peace—here and now re- isolve to make the future record that re- iBpiondcnt reach of time In which liber- .ty and peace wont up and down the na­ tions of tho earth, building their king­ dom In the hearts of men and gathering !the harvest of genius and toll; In which Treason Btruck from the hand of force khe sword of hate and plucked from the !heart of war the germ of greed; In ?whlch conscience smote tie thoughts of wrong and filled the mind with mer- jcy’s sweet restraint; In vhlch power I grow In the human brain, hut refused ;tbo shelter of a glittering crowd; In iwhich the people of all lands and ton- 'gues, awakened to hope by the lnsplra- jtion of our example, followed with the ; march of years the luminous pathway [leading to a d03tiny beyond the reach [of vision an cV. w I thin the providence of I God. In this spirit. New York nomi­ nates for President of the United States ,iAIton B. Parker.” i * Mr. LUtleton^g speech dealt at IengtJ with HepiiMicaii claims, and he grew eloquent in bis peroration in which he named the New York Jurist for the standard bearer. He was liberally ap­ plauded. Tbe nominations of b6th Bearst and Graiv %ere well received and liberally applauded. The platform adopted deals with a number of public questions. The money question,, however, was omitted as a cpm promise. POINTS 6F THE PLATFORM; Principal Measures Contained in the Party Declaration. The principles set forth in the plat­ form In the main are: Lairgo reductions can readily be made in the annual expenditures of the jovernment without Impairing the effi­ ciency of any bratteh 8f thS public servicfii The enforcement of honesty In the public service and to that end a thorough legislative investigation of those executive departments Cf the Sovernment Already known to teem with corruption, as well as other de­ partments suspected of harboring Cort rupt'ion, and the punishment of as­ certained corruptionists without fear or favor or regard to persons. We favor the nomination and elec­ tion of a President trained in the ways of the Constitution, who shall set his ■ace sternly against executive usurpa­ tion of legislative tad Judicial func' tions. The Democratic party has been and will continue to be the consistent opponent of that class of tariff legis­ lation by which certain interests have been permitted, through Congression­ al favor to draw a heavy tribute from :he American people. The money question Is declared to be no longer an issue. Trusts and monopolies &HS con­ demned. Maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine, more liberal trade with Canada, and reduction of the army and army ex­ penditures are favored. A Hbe:>al annual increase In the navy, and the enactment of laws giv­ ing capital and labor impartial rights are urged. The ship subsidy bill Is denounced. The extermination of polygamy is demanded. “We insist that we ought to do for the Filipinos what we have already done for the Cubans. And it is our Intent, as soon as it can be done wisely and safely Dor the Filipinos themselves and after amicable arrangements with them concerning naval stations, coal­ ing and bade relations, and upon suit­ able guarantees of protection to all National and international interests, to set the Filipino people upon their feet, free and independent, to work out their own destiny. "We favor Statehood for OMahoma and the Indian Territory, Statehood for Arizona, Statehood for -New Mexico and a Territorial government for Porto Rico. “Wo favor the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people. REBUFF WAS CUTT1NQ ONE. Fitting Retort of "Mad Poet” to an Ungentlemanly Remark. Many stories are told of McDonald Clarke, known fifty years ago In New York as the "mad poet,” which show that he had a vein oi' great shrewd­ ness, such as is often possessed by people who are counted insane. One day he was seated at a table in a New York hotel quietly eating his simple dinner when two young men took their seats at the® same table. McDonald Clarke was a well known figure, and the young men at OnCe recognized him though he did not know them. They were not gentlemen In the best sense of the word, and it 86- curred to them that they might have some sport with the poor poet. Con­ sequently one of them said In an un­ necessarily clear tone: “I have seen almost everything and everybody in New York except Mc­ Donald Clarke. I have A great admira­ tion for his poems, and I would give a great deal to see the man.” When he passed the mad poet lean­ ed forward and said with evident gratification: “Sir, I am McDonald Clarke, whom you say you wish to see.” The young man stared at him with much rudeness for a moment, and then drawing a quarter from his pocket he laid it on the poet’s plate, saying, “That’s for the sight!” Clarke looked at the coin for an in­ stant, and then placing it in his pock­ et, he took out a “York shilling,” 12% cents. This he handed to the young man, saying gravely, “Children half price.” Will Japs Eat Sacred Deer? The richest preserves of the noblest game of Asia will be at the.mtercy of tho “yellow heathens” if the Japs suc­ ceed in taking the island -Askold, where Several great Russian nobles have established preserves for the fa­ mous Siberian deer, the last of the genus. Only a very tew are allowed to be shot; by noblemen paying dearly for the privilege.. Their number was estimated at 3.000 before the war. Aside from their flesh, the deer are valuable on account of their most beautiful coat, and particularly on ac­ count of their antlers. These ltorni are used by the Chinese and Japs foi medicinal purposes. If a hungry Jap army should take Askold, there is lit­ tle doubt that the valuable deer will be eaten, particularly as the island is crown property. The horns of the deer sell for 50i) rubles a pair. t— ' ■----------— - The cost ol the pension roll is $1.75 a year for every many woman and child. In the TTnlted States. Natiooal Democratic Ticker Completed Saturday Night W AS NOMINATED BV ACCLAMATION Satire Harmony Prevailed at the Close of the Convention and All the Factions Were Satisfied FOR PRESIDENT ALTON BROOKS PARKER of New York. For Vice-President HENRY G. DAVIS of West Virginia- The above ig thB ticket ndmlfiated bj' .the Democratic National Convention at St Louis iast Weefc The questions were ail gone over thoroughly and the standard-bearers were chosen after ma­ ture deliberation and thorough discus­ sion. The Presidential nomination was made early Saturday morning, sfid it was expected that whM the convention reassembled at % V- BI: the fice-pr&si- dentiai matter wouid be settied quick­ ly and an adjournment reached. But In the interim a telegram had been re­ ceived from Judge Parker that threw the mass of delegates into a tempo­ rary state of great SxcitemSnt-. ThS telegram idiifiws: "Hon. W: F. Sheehan, Hotel Jefferson, St. Louis: “I regard the gold standard as firm­ly and irrevocably established, and shall act accordingly if the action of the convention Ot today Shall b6 Iatii fled by the Ji60pl& AS the platform is silent 6n.th6 siiiijeht, my view should be made known to the convention, and If it is proved to be unsatisfactory to the majority, I request you to decline the nomination for me at once, so that anothec may be nominate^ Iictore ad­ journment: A: B: PARKER.” The reading of this message and Its explanation by John Sharp Williams put tho delegates back into a satisfied state of mind, and the work of the body was theil glosed up and an adjourn­ ment reached amid much cheering. Following was the detailed vote on the first ballot, which gave Parker the nomination; Alabama, Parker, 22; Ar­ kansas, Parker, 18; California, Hearst, £0; Colorado, Parker, 4s Htai1Bt, Si Me- Clellan, I; Connecticut, Parksri 14; Delaware, Gray, 6; Florida, ParMr1 6; Hearst, 4; Geurgi.l, Parker; 2^; IiifthBi Hearst, 8; Hlilibis, Hearst, 54; Indiana, Parker, 30; Iowa, Hearst, 26; Kansas, Hearst, 10; Parker, 7; Mile3, 2; Cock­ rell, I; Kentucky, Parker, 2*; Louisi­ ana, Parker, 18; Maine, Parker, 7; Hearst, I; Olney, 4; Maryland, Parker, 16; Massachusetts, Olney, 32; Michigan, Parker, 28; Minnesota, Parker, 9; Hearst, 9; Cockrell, I; Towne, 2; Bray, I; T.lississippi, Parker, SO; Missouri, Cockrell, 38; Mbtttaiiii, PaikSf1 6; Ne­ braska, Gockr&ii, 4; Hearst, 4; Olney, I; Gray, I; Watt, I; Patison, I; Miles, I; Nevada, Hearst, 6; New Hampshire, Parkier, 8; New Jersey, Parker,24; New York, Parker, 78; North Carolina, Par­ ker, 24; -North Dakota, ’Williams, 8; Ohio, Parker, 46; Otfegon-, PaiJkei*, 4| Hearst, 2; 'McGleHand1 I; Cbifer, I; Pennsylvania, Pirkef; §6; Rhode Island, Hearst, 6 Parker, 2; South Caro­ lina, Parker, 18; South Dakota, Hearst, 8; Tennessee, Parker 24; Texas, Par­ ker, 36; Utah, Parker, 6; Vermont, Parker, 8; Virginia, Parker, 24; West Virginia, Parker, 10; Hearst, 2; Ger­ man, 2; Wa'„ningt0h, tifearst, 18; Wis­ consin, Wall, 26; -Wyoming, Hearst, 6; Alaska, Parker, 6; Arizona, Hearst, 6; District, of Columbia, Parker, 6; Indian Territory, Parker, 5; Hearst, I; Haw­ aii, Hearst, 6; New Mexico, Hearst, 6; Oklahoma, Parker, 2; Hearst, 2; Mc­ Clelland, I; Olney, I; Porto Riett1 Par* ker, 2; Hearst, 4. The foregoing is a total of 658 votes for Parker. Idaho, Washihglbii Snd West Virginia then changed to the Par­ ker column, giving him a clear plural­ ity and Governor Dockery moved to make tbe nomination unanimous. Judge Parker was notified of his nomination early Saturday Morning, just as IiS was returning from his cus­ tomary swim in the river near his home. He took the news calmly and with his usual dignity. Sunday he attended church and listened to a sermon In which a thinly veiled com­ pliment Was paid hiMself, The usual quiet still is noticeable in all his manners. ROLL. FOR VICE PRESIDENT. The roll of States was called for the pilcsentation of candidates for vice president. Even at this time, the gal­ leries were less than half filled, and great areas of vacant seats were visi­ ble. Alabama waB called several times with no response, but finally Mr. Rus­ sell, of that State, announced that Alabama would give way to Illinois. Samuel Alschuler, of Illinois, an­ nounced that Freeman B. Morris would speak for that State. Mr. Mor­ ris took the platform to name James R Williams, of Illinois. Cheers greet­ ed the mention of Mr. Williams’’ name, but they did not come in great measure from the delegates. Colorado yielded to Washihgtoni and Chairman Clark recognizcd Frederick C. Robertson, of that State, who spoke for ex-Senator George Turner: Connecticut yielded to Indiana and Delegate Spencer, of that State, sec-, oned the nomination of Williams, oi DlinoiS. .. By this time a report that a tele­ gram had been received from Judge Parker, declaring his position on the financial question, had become general. A crowd of delegates hurridly gather­ ed aroiund Sheehan, of New York, and Tillman, of South Carolina. Little, conferences began to occui and thS oratSfg iid riot recoivo niuct attention except from tho galleries and tbe small fry, who did not know that a probable sensation was ripening all about them. Deleware gave her place in the call to West Virginia, and the chair rfeeogflized Johh Aidefsonj of that Statb, who piaced in iioniinatiolt Henry G. Davis, of West Virginia. A vigorous round of applause came from the delegates when Mr. Davis’ name was mentioned, but little from the gal­ leries. Senator.DuBeis, of Idaho, seconded tho fiealflatiafl of Seofgo Tumeri fit Washington. David Overmyer, of Kansas, placed former Senator William A. Harris, of that State, in nomination in a brief speech from the floor. Hearat Pledfles Support. Mf. Hopkihsi Of illirioiSi Sfeciired recognition for A: M- IaawrSnce, of that State to read a telegrini fronl the platform. The telegram was frord William R. Hearst. The reading was warmly applauded. Mr. Hearst’s tele­ gram was as follows: “A. M.

Former President Grover Cleveland, who is the guest of Joseph Jefferson, was advised of the nomination of Judge Parker for President as soon as he awoka Saturday morning. Later, Mr. Cleyblanci stint the following statement to the Associated Press: "Mr. Cleveland declines to see any reporter or representative of the press but sends the following word from his room to the Associated Press: “I- am In absolute Ignorance of Jie action of the S t Louis convention except in so far as it has nominated Mr. Parker as PresdentiaI candidate. With this result I am abundantly grat­ ified; and I hope that the remainder of the work of the convention will add to the encouraging prospects of Democratic success. This is all I can possibly say at this time. I do not know when I shall have an oppor­ tunity to read the platform adopted or to learn of the entire proceedings of the cfinyentian.

Student of Conditions In Asia. Col. F. E. Younghusband, the British officer in command of the force now invading Thibet, is supposed to know as much about Asia as any other man alive. He traveled in Mimchuria1 In 1S86 and later made a memorable journey from Pekin to India through Chinese Turkestan. The colonel also explored the Pamirs and has taken part in a number of military expedi­ tions. WEEKLY CBOP BULLETIN Conditions for the Grovrth of Crops Have Been Favorable.

'You have never been laid up with all the diseases in the dictionary.

The hollow trunk of one tree, whose circumference is about twenty- two yards, is arranged as a reception rOGm, and the surrounding space, shel­ tered by a thick roof of spreading branches, serves as dining-room and smoking-room.

MPS CLOSER TO LMOYM laps Repulse Russian Attempt to Retake Motien Pass. CHINA AWAITING THE RESULTS Japanese Armies More IrOvward-A De- ciBiye Ensagentent N ot Bxpeeted Immediately—The F a ll of Port Arthnr is Awaited—Chineuo Troops May Occupy the Fortress* London, Englandl-T h e operations at Motien Pass and in that neighborhood, reported by General Kurokl and Gen­ eral Sakharoff, are regarded here as being in the nature of a reconnois- sance In force rather than a definite engagement. The place names as Rus­ sianized by General Sakharoff, are difficult to locate, but his description is taken to confirm the accounts from Tokio to the effect that the Japanese hare advanced , their- position in a northwesterly direction from Motien Pass, reducing the distance from Liao- yang to barely twenty miles. Fenshuiling, in the north, appears to be on the direct road to Liaoyang. It should not be confounded with Fen­ shuiling in the south, which is north­ west of Siuyen. The operations south of Kaichau are evidently mere skir­ mishes. It is not believed that any fighting on a great scale ,will happen during the rains. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Telegraph claims to have trust­ worthy information that the expecta­ tions of a decisive battle near Hai- cheng are delusive. He says that the Japanese do not intend to advance, and General Kuropatkin does not mean to fight. He says he has been assured by persons who are really in a position to know that the Japanese do not intend to go farther because of the difficulty In transporting their heavy guns and removing them in the event of a reJ Verse. The Japanese plan of campaign, al­ though it is, of course, liable to modifi­cation, is to storm Port Arthur and then retire to Korea and assume the defensive, which they will obstinately maintain until the more belicose of the belligerents sees advantage in conclud­ ing peace on terms acceptable to the other. Such news as is available regarding Port Arthur is construed as indicating considerable Japanese progress. It is Inferred that refugees are no longer allowed to leave Pigeon Bay, and that the Japanese have worked their way Well to the westward of the fortress to­ ward White Wolf Hill. If the latter place falls into their hands the fate of the fortress will be soon sealed, as the batteries on the hill enfiladed all the coast defences and the northern forts. A recent report from Tokio credited the Japanese with having 100 eight- inch guns ready for siege operations. A telegram from Pekin asserts, that the Japanese Minister there has in­ formed the Board of Foreign Affairs that Japan is about to make a supreme effort to capture Port Arthur and is confident of success. She, therefore, wished to know whether China would send troops to hold the fortress or in­ trust it to Japan’s keeping. The Board of Foreign Affairs gave a hesitating reply, not committing itself un­ til the Japanese plans have more folly developed, being influenced by the ob­ vious halt in the Japanese forward movement and the reappearance of the Russian fleet, which was supposed to have been virtually destroyed. It is alleged that Prince Ching, head of the board, privately informed the Minister that China would wait until Port Ar­thur is taken before doing anything definite. LIGHTNING CAUSES HAVOC.

Burlington's President Found Crop Conditions Nearly Perfect. , Chicago.—George B. Harris, Presi­dent of the Burlington Railway sys­ tem, just returned from a trip, says that never before were farmers and crops in such prosperous condition. "West of the Missouri River,” he says, "the prospects for a bumper year are extremely bright. .We traveled nearly 4000 miles in the corn belt and passed through some o f4 the richest country in the cereal-bearing States, and, outside of a few spots here, and there, we heard reports unvarying in their cheerfulness. We heard almost nothing but favorable statements on all the cereals.* Conditions appear to be as nearly perfect as they could be, excepting a slight excess of moist­ ure.”President Harris said that this year probably will be a “top-notcher” for the agriculturists of the Mississippi and Missouri river valleys. Rosins Quoted at High Figures. The price of common rosins has now reached the highest figure at which it has been quoted since the Civil War, and authorities predict that it will be further advanced. This is due largely to the increased demand for the low­ er grade rosins from Europe, whero they are used for soap making pur­ poses-and also to the more limited sup­ply which the cutting away of the ex­ tensive producing forests.In the South has caused. Rosin oils are also rising. ' Outlook For Apples. Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas will be well supplied with apples. ' * • Hayti's Internal Troubles. The Chamber of the Communes of Port-au-Prince, Hayti, voted unani­ mously to censure the Minister of Fi­ nance, M. Bijou, for mismanagement Cf public finances.

There is a steady growth Cf busi­ ness confidence all over: the country. Visitors'from the recent-session of the Minnesota Bankers' Association at Minneapolis reported that thev had found there a firm and unhesitating belief that not only would the crop outturn this fall be excellent, but that the general credit situation had passed us perils and that a full normal busi­ ness year in 1005 would bo experi­enced. , Tobacco Growing Splenuiaiv- - AU reports respecting tobacco indi- CAto that this crop, is xrowiner nicely. . Asparagus Salad. Cook asparagus in boiling salted watei until tender; drain and cool; when cool cut off all the tender parts in half-inch pieces, place them on let­ tuce leaves and serve cold. s j ^ — 'tsaV inaigrette Sauce. Three tablespoonfuls of oil, one tablespoonful of vinegar, one tea­ spoonful each of grated onion, chopped parsley and capers, one saltspoonful each of salt and pepper, mix well and pour over asparagus salad. Trine a la Creole. Put two tablespoonfuls of butter In a saucepan; ailil to It teu peppercones, two cloves, blade of mace and one small onion chopped fine; cook slowly until the onion is a light-brown, then add two tablespoonfuls of flour, and let that brown; add one and one- quarter cupfuls of stewed tomatoes, and stir until smooth; strain and re­ turn to the fire; season to taste with salt and pepper; add half a pound of well boiled tripe cut in strips; cover the pan and let simmer twenty minutes.

Chicken Fie. Glean and cut up your chicken; cover with boiling water and stew until tender; remove from the bones and lay in bottom of dish; sprinkle with salt and pepper; set the dish where the chicken will keep warm. Now for crust and broth. B roth- Four cups of water the chicken was stewed In, one cup milk; thicken with a tablespoonful of butter and two of flour blended together; when thick aud very hot pour over chicken, re­ serving bone for gravy boat.

H i n T s t h e Grass stains may be removed with alcohol. Green and white striped awnings are most used for porches or windows. Basswood furniture, stained mauve, with silver handles and mountings, is among the novelties offered for dainty country house bedrooms. Natural colored linen, adorned with Mexican drawn work patterns, makes exceedingly effective summer cushion covers, and launders nicely. "Where space and means will per­ mit, a pergola is one of the most effective lawn additions, and is in high favor with fashionable folk. For sweetbread cutlets prepare as for coquettes, adding a grating of nutmeg to the seasoning. Form into cutlets, crumb, egg and crumb again, fry in boiling fat and serve with sauce Bechamel.

A good way to restore white silk articles that have become yellow 111 washing is to dip them in tepid soft water containing to each quart a tablespoonful of ammonia water and a few drops of blueing.

Rockefeller Jr., was talking to his Sunday school class about in­ dustry. "Our industry,” he said, with a faint smile, "should not be of such a nature that the remark once applied to a cer­ tain Scot could ever be applied to us. "I’ll tell you what the remark I allude to was. "Two old farmers were walking down a road near Dunfermline when one of them pointed to a distant field and said, shading his eyes frcm the sun: " ‘That figurq. over there—I wonder if it’s a scareorow.’ "He stopped and regarded the fig­ ure very attentively for a space. Then lie concluded, in a satisfied tone: “ ‘Yes, it’s not moving. It must be a scarecrow/ "But the other farmer had sharper eyes and a better understanding, may­ be, of certain types of human nature. " tNo/ he said, dryly; ‘no, it’s not a scarecrow. It’s a man working by the day/ FIBROID TUMORS CURED. M rs. H ayos9F irs t I*etter A ppeal­ in g to M rs. P in k b am fo r H elps “ Deab Mbs.

Wood re­ ceived a letter from a real or pre­ tended kinsman, Adiiaa Martin, who is now confined as a prisoner in the castle of Valencia, Spain. Mrs. Martin is dead, leaving one child, Emily, she is solely depend­ ent upon her father, who now serves an eighteen year sentence in the Castle of Valencia, for assist­ ance. Mr. Martin says that since his health is very delicate—may never see his daughter again—be wants to place his daughter in the care of Mr, Wood for protection; that he has deposited £39,000 ster­ ling in a LondonBank, (equivalent to $195,000, federal money), with which to defray the girls expeuscs and to remunerate him who shall assume the responsibility of being Miss Emily’s protector. As to the genuineness of this letter and its purport we cannot speak, but we will take it upon ourselves to say that, it everything can be proved to be O. K., that there are $195,- 000 in a London bank, a good por­ tion of which is to be paid to him who shall assume charge of the girl, who is now 15 years of age. Mis3 Emily Martiu will certaiuly find a home in America; America the land of the brave and the home of the free. “ J.” last example we have is the run­ away match of Mr. Charlie Howell and Miss Annie Thomason, who are now living happily together, as one, iD Salisbury.

BLACK’S SPEECH FbiclDg Kooaevelt In Nomination nt the Kepnbllcan Convention In Chlcagot June 23« 1904. .UTDGK ALTON It PARKER. At St. Louis last week the Dem­ ocrat? nominated Judge Alton B. Ibrk rr of New York for president, and HenrytLDavisof West Vir­ ginia for vice-president. Judge Parker was nominated, indirectly by the (rusts, bankers and Wall Htreetgimhlersof New York. In iither words Judge Parker has been nominated, indirectly by the sam - power that, tried to control Roose­ velt and failed. When Roosevelt was spoken of as the running Mate of JIc Ivitilev the trusts of New York did all they could to have Him put on the ticket, so as to get him out of New York State, and get another mil as Gnvern -r who they thought they could control. As proof of this statement. 110 sooner had he Iteen nominated than the Iieads of these corporal ions, to g e th e r with their poUtieal tools, boasted openly that they had shelved him anil that he was deatl politically. This is the crowd that has uow turned to -Judge Parker as their leader. As to Ex-Senator Davis, who is iiowsi yeni-s old, it appears that lie was pul on the ticket because he is a inulti-milli.ouaire and they know they will ueed the money to itiltl to Wall Street’s big pile if they make any showing for Judge Parker in this campaign.—Cau­ casian.

Hut the public'.assemblage. will Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention : We are here t J- inaugurate a campaign wbicii seems already to be nearly closed. So wisely have the people sowed and watched and tended, there seems little now to do but to measure up the grain. They are ranging them­ selves, not for battle, but for har­ vest. In one column, reaching from the Maine woods to the Puget Sound, are those people and those States which have stood so Ioug to­ gether that when great emegencies arise the nation turns instinctively to them. In this column, vast and solid, is a majority so overwhelm­ ing that the scattered squads in op­ position can hardly raise another army. The enemy have neither guns nor ammunition, and if they had they would use them on each other. Destitute of the weapons of effective warfare, the only evi dence of approaching battle is in the tone and number of their bul­ letins. There is discord among the geuerals; discord among the sol­ diers. Each would fight in his own way, but before assaulting his Republican adversaries he would first destroy his own comrades in the adjoining tents. Each be­ lieves the weapons chosen by the other are not only wicked, but fatal •to the holder. Thatis true. This is the only war of modern times where the boomerang has been sub­ stituted for the gun. Whatever fatalities may occur, however, among the discordaut hosts now moving, on to St. Louis, no. harm will come this fall to the Americdtv people. The e will be no opposi­ tion sufficient to raise a conflict. There will be hardly enough for competition. There are no Demo­ cratic plans for the conduct of the fall eampaigu. Their zeal is chief­ ly centered in discussion as to what Thomas Jefferson would do if he were living. He is not living, and but few of the descendants are among the IJemowatic remnants of to-day. Whatever of patriotism or wisdom eminated from that dis­ tinguished man is dow represented in this convention. It is a sad day for any party when its only means of solving Iiv-. ing issues is by guessing at the pos- sibie attitude of a statesman who is dead. Thiscoudition leiv;3 that party always a beginner and makes every question new. The Demo- ciatic party has seldom tried a problem on its own account, and when it has its blunders have been its ouly monuments; its courage is remembered only in regret. As long as these things are recalled that party may serve as ballast, but it will never steer the ship. ^h e D em ocratic M ottot “ ForgctJ" When all the people have for­ gotten will dawn a golden era for this new Democracy. But the coiiutry is not ready yet to place a party in the lead whose most ex pressive motto is the cheerless word “forget.” That motlo may express contrition, but it does not inspire hope. Neither conftdeuee nor euthusiasm will ever be aroused by any party which enters each eampaigu uttering the language of the mourner. There is one fundamental plank, ho vcver, on which the two great parties are in full agreement. Both believe in the equality of men. The difference is that the Democratic party would make every man as low as the poorest, while the Republican party would make every niau as high as the best- Butthe Democratic course will pro­ voke no cutside interference now, for the Republican motto is that of the great commander; “Never in-, trrrnpt the enemy while he is mak­ ing a mistake.” In politics as in other fields, the most impressive arguments spring from contrast. Never hqjt there been a more striking example of uuify ihau is now afforded by this You are gathered half a een-j10®'Summed You meet not as strangers, for no men are strangers who hold the mime beliefs and espouses .the same cause. You may separate two bodies of water for a thousand years, but when once the barrier is removed they mingle'instantly and are one. The same traditions -in­ spire and the Same purposes actu­ ated us all. Never in our lives did these purposes stand with deeper root than now. At least two gen­ erations have passed away, since the origin of that great movement from which sprang the spirit which has been the leading impulse' in American politics for tury. In that movement, which was both a creation and an ex­ ample, were those great characters which endowed the Rhpublieau party at its birth with the attri­ butes of justice, equalfty and prog­ ress, which have held it to this hour, in line with the highest sent­ iments of mankind. From these men we have inherited the desire, and to their memory we owe the resolution, that those great schemes of government and humanity, in­ spired by their patriotism, and es­ tablished by their blood, shall re­ main as the fixed and permanent emblem of their labors, aud the abiding signal of the liberty and progress of the race. Repttbltettes Nevor FaU- In Crises* Theie are many new names in these days, but the’ Republican party needs no new title. Itstands now where it stood at the begin­ ning. Memory alone is needed to tell the source from which the in­ spirations of the country flow. A drowsy memory would be as gnilty now as a sleeping watchman when the enemy is astir. The name of the Republican party etamls over every door where a righteous cause was born. Its members have gathered around every movement, no matter how weak, if inspired by high resolve. Its flag for more than fifty years has been the sign of hope on every spot where liber­ ty was the woul. That party needs no new name or platform to desig­ nate its purposes. It, is now, as it has been, equipped, militant and in motion. The problems of every that age must solve. Great causes impose great demands, but never in any enterprise have the American people failed, and never in any crises has the Republican party failed to express the con­ science and intelligence of that people. The public mind is awake both to its opportunities and.its dangers, Nowhere in the world, in any era, did citizenship mean more than it means to-day in America. Men of courage and sturdy character are ranging themselves together with a unanimity seldom seen. There is no excuse for groping in the dark, tor the light is plain to him who will but raise his eyes The American people believe in a man or party that has convlutions aud knows why. They believe that what experience has proved it is idle to resist. A wise man is—any fool about, to die. But there is a wisdom which, with good fortune, may guide the living and the strong. That wisdom springs from reason, observation and ex­ perience. Guided by these this thing is plain, and young men may rely upon it that the his tory ami purposes! have described, rising even to the essence and as­ pirations of patriotism, find their best toucrete example in the career and doctrines of the Republican party.

Not much encouragement in that for calomity shou I ers. Like a man lost in the snow, the Democratic party spends most of its time traveling over its own abandoned trails, and praying for a way out. Tbe Republican party fights things and conditions that threaten to tattoo the nation with indelible marks of calamity. The Demo­ cratic party welcomes them. The New York State Banks have added $45,000,000 to their deposits in the last year. The people’s sav­ ings are always represented by red ink figures under a ^Democratic administration. The only picture displayed a t the St. Louis convention was that of Thomas Jefferson. This leads to the suspicion that the only good Democrats, like the good Indians, are the dead ones.

Yonrsto J. T, BAIT Y St Mt Ht , It I 4 1 « 4 .|H|. I|l Ijl Ifl It Mt I 4 1 Si 4l I llflt I ^ t MtIt T Recent Battles Have Given Russia the Better of the Fight JAP LOSSES GREATLY EXAGERATED Puzzling lack of Further News at $t. Petersburg—Tokio’s Silence Con­ sidered Significant. St. Petersburg, By Cable.—The lack of further official news regarding the engagement at Port Arthur on the night of July IOth is very puzzling. That the Japanese were heavily defeat­ ed is not doubted here, but In the ab­ sence of further information, tbe ex­ tent of the disaster that befell them is beginning to be seriously questioned. Definite news has been received from Viceroy Alexieffs headquarters at Mukden that a week before the en­ gagement at Port Arthur, Major Gen­ eral Pock administered a severe defeat to the Japanese on July 4 and July 5, driving them from the heights com­ manding Lunsantan Pass with a loss of 2,000. This is considered here as proof that there has been heavy fighting be­ fore the fortress of Port Arthur, and as making the silence of Tolcio regarding it all the more significant. Other Reports of Losses. Ta Tche Kiao1 By Cable.—The latest reports regarding the storming of Port Arthur, July 10, place the Japanese losses in killed and wounded at 25,000 aiid those of the Russians at 5,500. The Japanese retired and the Russians oc- • cupied the position. The Japanese have now changed their frontal position and a big batle is expected at the eastern portion of the defenses, owing to the Japanese turning movement. Must Not Mention Ships. St Petersburg, By Cable.—It is possi­ ble that the fourth ship of the Vladivo- stock squadron, now off the Japanese coast, is the cruiser Bogatry. as the re­ pairs to that vessel were known some time ago to have been nearly com­ pleted. In view of the approaching de­ parture of the Baltic squadron for the far Bast, extra precautions are being taken to prevent the publication of news of the movements or condition of the Russian ships. The newspapers are strictly forbidden to mention their names, and even foreign news dis­ patches referring to the Russian ves­ sels are not passed by the censor. Further Fighting Imminent. Liao Yang, By Cable.—Fighting is imminent at Ta Tche Kiao and Hai- Cheng. The Japanese are entrenched six miles south of Ta Tclie Kiao. Much alcirmishing is taking place. The weather is favorable for the movement of troops. No rain has fallen for a whole week. The thermometer has reg­ istered as high as 50 degrees centri- grade. It is rumored that a Japanese column has appeared on tbe Mukden road. Troops are constantly arriving here. Troops Shifted. Ta Tche Kiao, By Cable.—The Japa­ nese have withdrawn from the west side of the railroad and are massing, their armies on the Russian left. Re­ connaissances in force carried out by Russian cavalry and artillery yesterday and today almost as far south as Kai Chou, failed to disclose the Japanese. A diversion is expected from Ta Pass. It is possible that some of the Japanese forces have been drawn off to Port Ar­ thur to replace the terrible losses of July 10. Report of Losses Confirmed. London, By Cable.—A dispatch to a news agency from St. Petersburg says tbe War Office announces the receipt of*a dispatch from Port Arthur con Tien Tsin, By Cable.—The Chinese minister at Tokio has telegraphed the Wai Wou Pou (the Chinese minister of foreign affairs) that the Japanese government has presented a scheme for the administration of Manchuria, the principal clause of which is the Japanese will govern the province with the number of Chinese troops now in the country. Information has been re­ ceived here that unless China sup­ presses the. rebellion in the province of Kwank Si. the French Government has threatened to land troops and.put it down. The Chinese Government is much perturbed in consequence. A feeling prevails in Tien Tsin that the Japanese has suffered a terrible re­ verse at Port Arthur. If they had not, it is thought that the Japanese Gov­ ernment would have contradicted the reported disaster days ago. KUROPATKIN VINDICATED His Strategy Declared to Have Proved Beyond Reproach—Matters in Which He Was Wiser Than His Critics—Apparent Blunders, Such as Zassalitch’s Fight on the Yalu and Stakelberg’s March, Seen to Have Had Valuable Results—Now Able to Accept Battle. St. Petersburg, By Cable--Experts who, until recently, were inclined to criticise General Kuropatkin’s manage­ ment of affairs in the far East, de­ clare, as the situation develops, that his strategy has proved, so far, beyond reproach. He has successfully tided over a pressing danger—how pressing only those in close touch with the far East realize. His apparent mistakes, like the prolonged resistance offered by Lieutenant General Zassalitcli on the Yaln, turn out to be acts of the high­ est military judgment. General Ivuro- patlcin then had so few and such poor troops at Liao Yang that the Japanese would have had an easy task to crush the main force of Russians, had they been permitted to cross the Yalu with­ out severe punishment, and the thous­ands lost by Zassalitch practkally saved Liao Yang, Zassalitch, until dis­ graced, occupied an important staff po­ sition. General Baron Stakelberg’s march, which also was criticised, is now admitted to have been necessary. The march was a reconnaissance on a grand scale, and not only enabled Gen­ eral Kuropatkin to ascertain the ene­ my’s strength and disposition, but ma­ terially disturbed the Japanese plans relative to the siege of Port Arthur, gradually drawing the bulk of the Japanese army to follow the retreating column, and thus distracting attention from the vulnerable spot between Liao Yang and Mudkden. Meanwhile, the men at Kuropatkin’s headquarters are improving. Fifty thousand of the best troops from European Russia have reached Liao Yang within a month, and if the Russian commander-in-chief in the far East now chooses to accept a battle, he will be able to inflict a heavy blow. AU Russia is looking forward with confidence to tbe issue of the fight. TAR HEEL CROP BULLETIN Conditions for the Growth of Crops Have Been Favorable. Advance Posts Driven Back. S t Petersburg, By Cable—Under date of July 16, Lieutenant General Sakharoff reports that the chasseurs are driving back the Japanese advance posts southward of Siakotan and east of Kanchi. The Japanese, the general says, have re-captured Kechinhia. They are still fortifying the passes between Fenshul and Motien. The Japanese, -------- — the general says, have evacuated Seke- Arming the report that the Japanese yan and Yan Dikan. The country fromsustained considerable losses on July 11, the exact particaulars of which have not yet been ascertained. According to the dispatch, the Kussians recaptured all the positions lately taken by the Japanese. Siaossyra up to Sihu Pass is free from Japanese, but the pass itself is occupied by a detachment of the Japanese ad­ vance guard. General Sakharoff re­ ports several minor encounters with practically no casualties. Officer Wounded. St. Petersburg, By Cable.—General Rennenkampfl was wounded, but not seriously, in a skirmish near Salmats- za. A bullet passed through the calf of one of his legs. General Sakharoff. who reported the wounding of Rennen- kampff, says it occurred July 13, be­ tween Liao Yang and Saimatsza, in a skirmish in which the Japanese were repulsed. Losses Now Placed at 2,000. Mukden, By Cable—In the fighting at the right flank of the line of de­ fences of Port Arthur July 3 to July 6 the Russians drove back the Japanese and occupied the east bank of the Lun- santan and the heights commanding Lunsantan Pass. The Japanese losses were about 2,000. Those of the Russians were insignificant. Russian Submarine Tested. St. Petersburg, By Cable.—The sub­ marine boat Fulton, which has been at Cronstadt, is reported to be in the Neva, undergoing tests. It is not known whether she will go to the far East by rail or with the Baltic squardon. Killed Whole Family. Buffalo, N. Y., Special.—One of the most shocking tragedies that ever oc­ curred in this city came to light Friday when the dead bodies of Edgar T. Washburn, a member of the grain firm of Heathfleld & Washburn, on the board of trade, Washburn’s wife and his young daughter, Gladys, 15 years old, were found in a bed room of their home at 83 Putnam street, this city. Mr. Was|iburn held and shot and killed his - wife and daughter, and then turned the weapon upon his head and killed him­self. May Lead to .Extradit.on Treaty. Mexico City, Special.—George B. Bar- riere, a Cuban arrested in Vera CThz1 will be returned to Havana. His alleg­ ed defalcation amounted to $33,000, Mexico will probably receive in ex­ change an alleged diamond thief nam­ ed Soler. Mexico and Cuba have no ex­ tradition treaty, but this exchange of prisoners may lead to the negotiation of such a treaty. No Settlement in Sight. Chicago, Special.—All chances of peace In the packers’ strike has van­ ished, for the time being at least. The end of tbe negotiations came late Sat­ urday after a conference which had lasted nearly all afternoon between the officials of the strikers and a number of packers. The final break resulted when the union officials insisted that all the men who had gone out on strike be taken back and given their old places? The packers declared, that this would necessitate the discharge of all the men they had employed since the commencement of the strike, and that they could not, and would not, consi­ der it. The conference then broke up, and the strike will continue. Roosevelt’s Notification. Oyster Bay, Special.—President Roosevelt and Secretary Loeb are per­ fecting arrangements for the ceremony incident to the President’s formal noti­ fication of his nomination, which will occur at Sagamore Hill on the 27th inst. All of the details have not been worked out, but the preparations prac­tically have been completed in a gen­ eral way.. The ceremonies will not be elaborate or ostentatious. Indeed, they will be marked by simplicity. Signs of Foul Play. London, By Cable.—Reports to both the press associations and the Central News,assert that a further examination of the body of F. Kent Loomis, which was found yesterday at Warren Point some 15 miles from Plymouth, has Northern Securities Hit. Trenton, N.

The amounts, although ir­ regularly distributed, were sufficient for the growth of vegetation, except in a few extreme eastern counties, where the need of rain is becoming apparent on all* growing crops. Heavy rains fell on the 8th in a few counties in the central district, and caused some dam­ age to both corn and cotton fields. A large number of correspondents from the central and eastern counties report hail storms on the 6th and 8th, which fortunately were not very damaging except to a few scattered fields in Wake and Scotland counties. The tempera­ tures during the week were high and averaged slightly above normal; and, combined with an abundant supply of moisture, were highly favorable for plant growth. Marked improvements have been noticed in all crops, par­ ticularly gardens, which are now in splendid condition. Considerable advancement has been made in farm work, which is generally well up. Threshing is about over in the eastern and central districts, but is still in full progress in the western district, excepting in the high alti­ tudes. The yield of both wheat and oats are satisfactory. Considerable work has been done in sowing peas; some of the early sown are already coming up and look thrifty. Cotton, except* where damaged by hail, is a good stand; the plant is growing sat­ isfactorily and is showing indications for a good crop. Blooms, are becom­ ing general, and are well filled. A number of fields in the central counties are becoming weedy, owing to the heavy rains within the past two weeks, which made the ground too wet for cultivation. There have been.no com­ plaints of lice this week." Corn is be­ ginning to silk and tassel; laying by !s general, and the crop Is everywhere making a vigorous growth. Tobacco topping is in full progress; the plant is small, but continues to do well. Ap­ ples will be a good crop in the ex­ treme western part of the State, else­ where the complaint of dropping from trees is general; other fruits will be plentiful. Mefons are beginning to ripen; the quality, however, is slightly inferior. Rains reported for the week ending 8 a. m. today: Goldsboro, 2.34; Lum- berton. .80; Newbern, .86; Weldon, 1.64; Wilmington, 2.80; Asheville, .40; Charlotte, .30; Raleigh, 1.62. HS OF 1 1 1 SM Homicide in Moore County. Carthage, Special.—Riley A. Britt killed William Henry Moore about 10 o’clock Sunday nightabouthalf-way be­ tween Hemp and Spies, on tbe Durham & Charlotte Railroad, in this county. Deputy Sberiffi Raleigh Brewer brought Britt to Jail here early this morning. The only witness to the affair was a boy about 15 years old, who was with Britt and Moore at the time ot the killing. The boy, it appears, is unable to furnish any reliable information as to the cause of the killing. Deputy Sheriff Brewer says he arrived on the scone about 2 o’clock Monday morn­ ing and found Moore dead, he having evidently died from the effects of knife wounds, which had been inflicted in various parts of the body. He found Britt about 50 yards away from the dead man, in a bloody condition. He had apparently been drinking though he was not drunk at that time. Britt, it is understood, does not deny the killing, but claims he was drunk and does not know why nor how he did iL Both Moore and Britt were young men about 30 years old, and have been con­ sidered pretty tough citizens. The coroner has been notified and is now on his way to hold an inquest over the body of Moore. North State Items. A charter is granted to the Bank of Robeson, at Lumberlon, commercial and savings, authorized capital stock $25,000. The American, the organ' of the Ju­ nior Order of United American Me­ chanics, is to appear in Raleigh on August I. Fatal Fall Into a Well. North Wilkesboro, Special;—Wil­ liam Harrold, who lives on Rock Creek, fell In a well Monday morning and will die from the accident. He had Just made a blast with dynamite and had gone down in the well to work. He filled one box and told the men at the windlass to draw him out. They started to do so, hut when he was about 25 feet from the bottom he let loose and fell; A man went down to tie him to bring him out and be came near being asphyxiated in the gas also. In about a quartdr of an hour a darkey went down and suc­ ceeded in fastening him and he was. drawn out. His skull is crushed and he is unconscious. Notes of State Interest It is learned from the hail insurance agents that a number of hail storms this season is far greater than ever before. They say the loss by hail in Robeson county alone is over $100,000 and one company will have to pay over $20,000 insurance. Mr. George Justice, of Charlotte, has gone to work learning the duties of his position as assistant Labor Com­missioner. ^ ■ The Scotland Mills, of Laurinburg, earned a dividend of 35 per cent, last year. — Many Newsy Items Gathered From all Sections.

It is expected that the lease of the Atlantic & North Carolina Rail­ way will be consummated before this year ends. J. A. Giles, of Pittsboro, who has been appointed assistant United States district attorney, has taken the oath, succeeding O. J. Speares, who was oust­ ed. An effort was made to oust also E. A.

The Wake county commissioners Wednesday cut the tax assessment on 44 pieces of real estate in Raliegh on /he complaint that the tax assessors last year overassessed them. The reduction amounts to $24,000, and is the result of a compromise that was made for the withdrawal of a suit bringing in question the legality of the whole assessment.

The police in other towns have been asked to look out for a slick negro whose operations were carried on in Gastonia, from which town he has fled before his misdeeds were made public. ‘ The negro collected a large lot of clothing which he said was for a pressing club. In this manner ha was able to collect quite a quantity of second-hand clothing, and when his game was found out he had skipped the town. Another charter is granted The Sun Printing Company, of Rutherfordton, D. C. Wilkie.being the principal stock­ holder, the capital stock being $5,000. A strange negro was fatally shot in Monroe Wednesday by Special Of­ ficer Justice Bivins, of that city. He lingered until eight o’clock next morn­ ing, but his wound was seen to be fa­ tal from the first. The negro was beating his way on the' southbound vestibule train and Bivins attempted to arrest him. The negro ran and Bivins shot, the ball striking him in the hack. It is not thought the offi­ cer meant to hit him bqt that he wa3 shooting to scare him.Mr. L. E. Ballinger, a hostler on the Southern yards.at Spencer, in a per­ sonal altercation with Henry Vaughn, his colored fireman, Tuesday, cut and seriously wounded the latter. Vaughn was carried to his home near Spencer, and it is learned that Ballinger left town on the first train. The negro is said to be dangerously if not fatally wounded,-though there ip little or no feeling against Ballinger, as it is be lieved he did only what he was forced to do. It iq not yet known, whether or not Vaughn can recover. ANEW SOCIETY Nature Study Society Formed Foi North Carolina. A 'State Nature Study Association Was formed here last week at the A. & M.

PacldUS Houses in Cnliaxo, St. Louis ' and St. JosepIl Aro Already Affected— Strikers Are Orderly, and Botll Sides Are Determined to Stand Firm— 18,000 Have Quit in Chicago. Chicago, IlI--As the result of a stub­ born disagreement, chiefly over wages for unskilled labor, one of the most .ex­ tensive strikes in the history of the meat packing industry 'of the United States began in Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St. Joseph, Mo., and other cit­ ies where large packing plants are lo­ cated. The unanimity of the strike was complete. More than 45,000 employes arc directly involved. In Chicago alone IS1OOO men are on strike. Tlie walkout here was started by the employes of the killing departments at the various packing houses. The killers were followed by the workers in other- departments as fast as the current work left by the slaughterers could be cleaned up. Thus, as the workers in each department disposed of their part of the work, they threw off their aprons and departed. A picturesque scene was presented when the sausage factories and can­neries were left by their, forces. There are 1000 girls employed in these two departments of the meat industry. This army of feminine strikers was roundly cheered as it emerged through the gates.Arthur Meeker, of Armour & Co., said:“We consider the demand of the union for an advance in wages of un­ skilled labor entirely unwarranted by industrial conditions. We could not concede it, and proposed to submit til- question to. arbitration, which the union declined. Every department is kept running, however. We have bad applications from hundreds of unem­ ployed men for positions at less wages than we have been paying, aud every day expect to increase our output.”President Michael Donnelly, the strike leader, said: “I wish to make it clear that we are not fighting for an increase of wages, but against a decrease. Our original demand was for a minimum of twenty cents an hour for laborers. After our second conference with the packers in June, we agreed to a scale ot eighteen and a half cents an hour, except in Omaha and Sioux City, where the scale is nineteen cents. The packers, on the other hand, refused to pay more than seventeen and a half cents an hour and declined to sign any agreement at all, except with a small proportion of tbe workmen. “The question of wages to skilled men was not discussed. To unskilled workmen the average was eight­ een and a half cents, but when we asked that this be made the minimum wage they cut it to seventeen and a half cents and fifteen cents. Men could live on fifteen cents if they got steady work, but in some plants men have, been able to make jiist thirteen hours a week at this wage scale. They could not live on it. No one could.” The employes of the Union Stock Yards here are not affected by the strike, and, while in view of the no­ tices sent by commission houses to their country customers shipments niay fall off to some extent, it is ex­ pected that cattle, hogs and sheep will stiil continue to arrive from tbe West and South. St. Joseph, Mo.—More than 5000 em­ ployes of Swift & Co., Nelson, Morris & Co., and the Hammond Facking Company, In South St. Joseph, went out on a strike at noon, and the plants have closed down. Representatives of the packing companies say that at present no attempt will be made to re­ sume killing. St. Louis, SIo.-Eighteen hundred butchers and cutter, members of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters’ and Butchers’ Association, struck work. In East St. Louis more than 5000 butch, ers and cutters employed by the pack­ ing houses stopped work. LIGHTNING KILLS PLAYERS. A Left Fielder and a Second Baseman Struck Down—Others Injured. New York City.—Charles F. Jeffries, left fielder of the Johnstown (Pa.) Baseball Club, was struck by lightning at McKeesport, Pa., and instantly killed. AVith the sun shining through a small cloud, the 500 spectators in the stands were startled by the loud report ol thunder that accompanied a flash of lightning that struck Jeffries on the head above the left ear. Jeffries was walking ac-ross the dia­mond when he was killed. Two other players were knocked down and badly .shocked. Joseph Barrett, a Son of Sauinei Bar­rett, of South Cumberland, Md., was also killed by lightning while playing second base on the Baltimore and Ohio roundhouse ball grounds. The bolt entered Barrett’s ear and passed through his body. His hair was singed and his face and body disfig­ ured. Charles McGowan and James T. Wigg, two companions with whom he. was playing, were badjj. shocked. FRENCH PREMIER EXONERATED Chartreux Scandal Ended by.

Before her death Mrs. Starbnck said, as her husband lifted her in his arms, “He came in by that window and dragged me out that way.” She was' sinking fast. “Who did it?” asked her husbahd, bending down to catch the faintest gasp. She either did not hear or did not understand, “Why didn’t they an.' swer? Twice I tried to call by tele­ phone,” were her last words.In the presence of the bodies of his wife and four-moutlis-old daughter, found and dragged from a nearby cis­ tern, the half-crazed husband and fath­ er made a vow of vengeance. “I will take no rest until the' ones guilty of this awful crime have been punished,” he said, lifting his hands t.nd then kiss­ ing the faces of his dead Wife and child. The post mortem developed that Mrs, Starbnck’s death was due to hemor­ rhage of the lungs, caused by her re­ peated screams for help when, she stood to her armpits in the water in the abandoned cistern where she was thrown by her murderer. The baby was drowned. It is supposed that, as she was dragged from the. window, Mrs. Starbnck caught her baby In her arms. One other man is suspected. He is Frank Warner, a companion of Gipe’s, who has also been in jail for whipping his mother. He is suspected because Gipe says that he saw him on the night of the murder. The accepted theory is that three men were concerned in the crime, though Mrs. Starbuek spoke of but one. When arrested Gipe turned pale and trembled. “I know nothing about that murder,” he said, before the Sheriff told him his errand. He told conflicting stories. When asked regarding the contradic­ tory character of his stories he said that he had gotten up in the night and gone out. “Before God, I am innocent of this crime,” said Gipe, as he peered through the bars of his cell. The crime was committed between 9 and 10 o’clock In the' night. The strongest evidence against Gipe is the tracks that were found through the cornfields from the scene of the crime to a point near his home. Bloodhounds followed the scent for a mile and a half from the cistern to a hitching post. Neighbors say three .mea were seen in a buggy there that night. Democratic Vice-Presidential Nominee. Henry Gassaway Davis, nominated for Vice-President by the Democrats, at St. Louis, was born In Howard County, Maryland, November 1C, 1823, receiving only a country school educa­ tion.

Mr. Kruger, who was staying at the Villa da EoicUct1 had been gradually failing for a long time, but he was able to attend to affairs, read themews- papers, and receive visits.

MEMPHIS CITIZENS ANGRY Committee. of 1000 Will Deinanii Resignation of Administration. X Great Stass HeetiiiS A Result of Mnrdet of Deputies — Mayor Ond Boiled Blowed JTor Vicious Coudltionsj . .. ■ I ,\t?w Memphis, Tenn.—As an aftermath of tho gambling crusade in this city, In which Deputy Sheriffs McDermott and Mitchell lost their lives during their raid of a peco gambling house In the Tenderloin district, a monster mass meeting Was held at which addresses were made by prominent citizens. Res­ olutions which ask for the resignation of Mayor Williams, Vice-Mayor Hen­ derson and Chief of Police Mason were passed; Five thousand people crowded the Lyceum Theatre from pit to dome; and a like number finding themselves un­ able to gain admittance, assembled in a body in the public square, in the heart of the city, where they were ad­ dressed by Gnited States Senator Car­ mack and others in a plea to keep within the bounds of peace. Speeches wef e made in which it was charged that a continued carnival of crime had been taking place in Mem­ phis and that the present government had demonstrated that it was incapa­ ble of handling the reins of justice. The Committee of Public Safety ap­ pointed a committee of 1000 persons, which will wait on the Mayor and as­ sociates With the resolutions asking for their vacation of office. Friends of Haggerty, Honan, Hart­ ley, Deggs and Keene, the quintet of gamblers who are alleged to have been associated with the operation of the peco game, and who are impris­ oned in the county jail charged with the murder of the Deputy Sheriffs, became active, and succeeded In or­ ganizing to protect them from any possible' attack from the excited popu­ lace who attended the mass meeting. With rifles the gamblers’ friends vol­ unteered their services to the jail, and .a band of fifty or more patroled tho vicinity. Sheriff Blackwell early in tho day sent additional protection in the form of deputies to the jail to resist any at­ tack. At the Coroner’s inquest over tho bodies of the murdered deputies tlidresponsibility was fixed on George Honan, Harry Hartley and George Keene. The Rev. Father Murphy conducted the funeral services of young Mc­ Dermott. . Tho body of Deputy Sheriff Hous­ ton Mitchell was shipped to his former home at Shannon, Miss., for interment. Though not generally known he was the candidate for Presidential elec­ tion on tho Liberty ticket with Lead­ er Scotfc EX-PRESIDENT KRUGER. Stephanus Johannes PaIus Kruger was horn at Colesburg, Cape Colony, on .October 10, 1825, his parents being fiireet descendants of the original Dutch settlers iu South Africa. He participated iu the Great Trek of 1834, which resulted in the foundation of tho Transvaal and the Orange Freo State. Iu the year 1S77 Kruger was sent to England as one of the delegates who unsuccessfully resisted the annexa­ tion of the Boer domains by the Brit­ ish, as represented by Theophilus Shepstone. In the war that shortly followed he distinguished himself. As one of the triumvirate elected to administer the Government in 1SS1, he signed the Convention of Pretoria, which was later modified in tho Convention of Lon­don, when Kruger conducted negotia­ tions with. Lord Derby personally. He obtained concessions, the most impor­ tant of which was the conducf and control of the Transvaal Republic’s diplomatic intercourse, limited by the approval of Queen Victoria In treat­ ies with foreign powers. In 18S3 Kruger was elected by pop­ ular vote President of the Transvaal, which office he held four times in suc­ cession until the day that tho Presiden­ cy of the Transvaal Republic was de­ clared a non-existent office over a non­ existent State, and Kruger departed for Europe, an exile. His conduct during the long strug­ gle of the recent South African war won for the aged Boer President the sympathy and admiration of the whole world, aside from party feelings or merits of the Boer and British causes. The personality of the man, simple as it was in some respects, was iu others strong.It has been said of Kruger that he was too clever, too sincere, too stub­ born arid too witty to-be a representa­ tive Boer.----------------------------------------------I KILLS WIFE, CHILD AND SELF.

RUSSIAN FAMINE THREATENED Peasants in Various Provinces in Mis­ ery Owing to Failure of Crops. London, Eng.—Russian correspond­ ents say the fears expressed months ago in regard to the Russian harvest have been abundantly confirmed by reports from various sources. The harvest in Bessarabia is an al­ most complete failure. The price of stock has risen, and in consequence of the decline in wages numbers of la­ borers have gone to seek work out­ side the provin'ce.The residents of the Commune of Baehuri have petitioned the Governor to allow them to postpone the pay­ ment of taxes. Many com cultivators have been re­ duced almost to beggary in Kieff Prov­ince. The Governor hasj instructed the local authorities to take all possi­ ble precautions against fatnine. The late frosts have seriously injured the crops. ! Fruit and vegetables in Kharkoff Proviuce have suffered severely from frost and rain. In the Province of Moghileff many peasants are begging, and the official journal of the prov­ ince complains of the large increase in theft. . ' STRIFE BREWS IN PANAMA'. I! Establishment of Custom House in Canal Zone Causes Dissatisfaction. Panama.—The decree of Governor Davis establishing a custom house in the canal zone is opposed by merchants who fear that it will result in the ruin of the trade of Panama and Colon, and consequently tend to injure the Republic. The Chamber of Commerce has appointed a committee that will communicate with the Governor. The chamber considers the Dingley tariff detrimental to the interests of com­ merce and against the spirit of the canal' treaty.The newspapers have started a cam­ paign to prove that the United States is treating Panama unjustly.'

A flash of lightning in the night will reveal what years of day­ light have not discovered to the eye. And so the flash of UieSpan ish NVar revealed that lofty conr age and devotion which the Ameri­ can heart so loves, and which you have met again ,to decorate and rec­ ognize. His qualities do not need to be retold,Ifor no man in that ex­ alted place, since Lincoln, has been better known in every household in the land. He is not conserva­ tive, if conservatism means waiting till it is too late, He is not wise, if wisdom is to count, to think a hundred times when once will do. There is no regret so keen in man or country as that which follows an opportunity unembraced. Fortune soars with high aud rapid wing, aud whoever brings it down must shoot with accuracy aud speed. Only the man with steady eye and nerve, and the courage to pull the trigger, brings the largest oppor­ tunities to the- ground. He does not always listen while all the sages speak, but every day at night­ fall beholds some record which, if not complete, has been at least pur­ sued with conscience and intrepid resolution. Conclndod. But not alone upon the princi jiles of that party are its members in accord. NVith the same devo­ tion which has marked their adher­ ence to those principles, magniti- cent and enduring as they are, they have already singled out the man to hear their standard and to lead the way. No higher badge was ever yet conferred. But, great as the honor is, the circumstances which surround it make the honor even iiiore profouud. You have come from every State and Terri­ tory in this vast domain, country and the town have vied with each other in sending here jheir contributions to this splendid throng. Every highway in the land ii leading here aud crowded with the members of that great party which sees iu this splendid city the symlwl of its rise and power. NVitk- iu this unexampled multitude is every rank aud condition of free men, every creed aud occupation But to-day a common purpose aud desire have engaged us all, and from every nook and corner of the country rise but a single choice to fill the liujst exalted office in the world. have led you to a single name which I am chosen only to pro­ nounce : Gentlemen, I nominate for President of the United States the highest living type of the youth, the vigor and the promise of a great country and a great age, Theodore Roosevelt, of New York. One SIan Only—Roosevelt. He is no slender flower swaying iu the wind, but that heroic fibre which is best nurtured ^Jy the mountains aud the snow. He spends little time in review, for that, he knows, can be done by the schools. A statesman grap pling with the IiviDg problems of the hour, he gropes but littlein the past. He believesin going ahead. He believes that iu shaping the destinies of this great Republic, hope is a higher impulse than re­ gret . He believes that preparation for future triumphs is a more im­ portant duty than inventory of past mistakes. A profound student of history, he is to-day the greatest histoiy maker ill the woild. NVith the instincts of the scho'ar, he is yet forced from thescholarspursuits by those superb qualities which fit him to the last degree for those great world currents now rushing past with larger volume and more portentous aspect thau for many years before. The fate of nations is still decided by their wars. You may talk of orderly tribunals aud learned referees; you may sing in your schools the gentle praises of the quiet life; you may strike from your book the last note of every . martial anthem, and yet out in the j smoke and thunder will always be the tramp of horses and the silent, rigid, upturned face. Men may prophesy and women pray, but peace will come here to abide for ever on this earth only when the dreams of childhood are the ac­ cepted charts to guide the destinies of men. Events are DHmberless and mighty, and no man can tell which wire runs around the world. The nations basking to-day in the quiet of couteutinent and repose may still be on the deadly circuit and to morrow writhing in the toils of war. This is the time when great fig­ ures must be kept in froni. If the QUESTIONS. Who made the so-called State Democratic Platformt Did the Greensboro Convention endorse it ? Answer—Don’t know, NVhat would the good old Demo­ cratic Governors of North Carolina and South Carolina that used to talk about “It’s being a long time between drinks,” &c., think of the Josiah—Josephus—Kitchen Cab­ inet—Mullet B.K—Hotel Platform? Answer—They would tint— Dnm it, Dum it. Did not the North Carolina Re- publican Convention make and en­ dorse its own platform, at Greens­ boro, before its delegates had all gone home I Answer—Yes, Did the Republican Convention endorse any Trusts I Answer—No. Did the Kitchen Cabinet (so- called Democratic) Conventiou en­ dorse all the licker trusts in North Carolina, aud also the Mullet R-.R. and free Hotel. Answer—Looks that way. Don’t the Children need better scliools-houses, seats, desks, &c.; better arrangements abont school- books, longer and better schools; more tliau they need so much speechifying, ball games, Sc. I Answer—Reckon they do. IIow would the late Carrie Na­ tion’s display in the Queen City compare with the patriotic Rally iu the same streets on May 20th, 1776? NVhy do tbey call Hon. Henry G.

Tiiitwhcnthc crash comes Il1- fliMics break out, a moment’s pressure is great, the material to resist it must be granite and iron. Whether we wish it or not, Amer­ ica is abroad, in this world. Her interests are in every street, her name is on every tongue. Those interests, &<, sacred and stnpendu- ous, should be trusted only to the care of those whose power, skill and courage have been tested and approved. And in the roan whom you will choose the highest sense of every nation in the world be­ holds a man who typifies as no other living American does, the spirit and purposes of the twentieth century. He does not claim to be the Solomon of his time. There aie many things he may not know, but this is sure, that above all things else he stands for progress, courage and fair play, which are the synonymes of the American name. There are times when great fit­ ness is hardly less than destiny , when the elements so come together that they seleot the agent they will use.

It is not too soon for him to begin practic­ ing with the parachute, The Democratic party occupies much the same position As the man who has sold his body to the phy­ sicians for experimental purposes. After November 8, Judge Par­ ker will know how to sympathize with the player who gets his base on balls and then stands and watch­ es his supporters strike out. Democratic managers are prepar­ ing to flood the country with cam­ paign orators, bntthe people never have a very warm welcome for the advance agents of adversity. “I have every confidence in the Democratic party,” declares Judge Parker. The Judge is apparently determined to emphasize the flict that, he is different from, most people. “Time will vindicate me,” says Mr. Bryan. It will, to the extent that the candidate nominated at 8 t. Louis will be beateu as thoroughly as Mr.. Bryan was in 1896, and again in 1900. “Mr. Cortelyou has done nothing in his life for which he has to apol­ ogize,” rays one of his biograph- er3.

Mr, McLean will be remembered as the mau who received the small­ est vote ever recorded for a Domo- eratcai dida-te for governor of Ohio. The census bureau report* that there are 5,000 pianos in the farm houses of one county in Kansas. In Democratic times the Census takers find mortgages- instead of pianos in the farm houses of the nation. Bryan predicted that a campaign with Parkeras the candidate would “begin with a foot-race and end with a rout.’’ The country feels the same way and refuses to be alarmed over prospects of a change of administration. The democratic - platform de­ mands that the army be reduced to Papoint historically demonstrated to be safe and sufficient.” The army has already I een reduced from 100,000 to 40,000, the Demo­ cratic demand eau be safely con­ signed to the pigeon hole labeled “spccions flabdubbery.” ‘•There was a deficit of $38,047, • 247 during the first year of the Diogley tariff,” shouts a Demo­ cratic organ. That’s true, but since the Dingley schedule went into the effect the country has paid the expenses of a war with Spain and produced a surplus of $125,- 000,000, exclusive of the $50,000,- 000 jiaid for the Panama canal fran­ chise.

Although it was authoritatively stated yesterday that the Malacca had already reached Suda Bay, it now transpires that when the Malacca sailed from Port Said she was bound for Algiers. Unless orders are delivered to her on the way, she will, upon arrival there, find an order to proceed immediately to Suda Bay, where, under the agreement reached between Britain and Russia, an exam­ ination of her cargo will be made by the Russian and British consuls. Russian Conference. S t Petersburg, By Cable.—Grand Duke Alexis presided at Sunday’s coun­ cil, which Count Lamsdorff, the For­ eign Secretary, and Vice Admiral Avel- lan, chief of the admiralty department, and other high naval officers attended. The result of the conference removes all doubts concerning the present atti­ tude of Russia with regard to the vol­ unteer fleet. The validity of the view expressed in the British note regarding the irregularity of the position of the vessels was so far admitted that the council agreed to waive the right of search. After a long discussion, in which Count Lanisdorff took a leading part, it was decided that the present status of the volunteer fleet was not sufficiently well-defined according to in­ ternational law, to render further searches and seizures advisable, and that, therefore. Russia, in the interest of friendly relations with the powers, should withdraw the authority given the volunteer fleet in this respect. Or­ ders were sent to the volunteer fleet steamers St. Petersburg and Smolensk to refrain from interference with for­ eign shipping. Roosevelt Notification. Oyster Bay, R. I., Special—Arrange­ ments have been made for the notifi­ cation of Theodore Roosevelt of his nomination for the Presidency by the Republican party. The ceremony will take place on Wednesday, the 27th inst., at 12:30 p. m. Following custom, the notification will be at Mr. Roosevelt's home, Sagamoro Hill. The members of the notification committee appointed by the Chicago convention have been requested to assemble at the Waldrof-Astora Hotel, in New York, on Tuesday evening, to make preliminary arrangements for the cer­ emony of the day following. Speaker Joseph G. Cannon, chairman of the committee, will arrive in New York tomorrow. The committee will leave Long Island City on a special train for Oyster Bay at 10:30 Wednesday morning, arriving at 11 o’clock. On account of the isolation of Presi­ dent Roosevelt’s home, only about 125 persons will be in the party, in­ cluding the members of the notifica­ tion committee and /relatives and friends of President Roosevelt, who reside in the vicinity of Sagamore Hill. The ceremony of notification will be as simple and unostentatious as possible. The wide veranda almost surrounding the President’s house, will be draped with American flags. If the weather is fair, the committee will assemble on the lawn, and if not, on the veranda. Luncheon will thea follow. Homicide in Barber Shop. New York, Special.—A quarrel in the barber shop of Vincenizo Saitto, in Third avenue Saturday, ended in a cus­ tomer, a well-dressed, unknown man, being shot dead and Saitto, with a bul­ let wound in his shoulder, being held for murder. The shooting caused a panic in the shop, which was filled with customers, and the police reserves were called out to handle the crowd that quickly gathered. The Parker Notification. SSsopust N. Y., Special.—Judge Par­ ker has fixed August 10 as the date for the ceremonies notifying him of his nomination by the Democratic nation­ al convention as a candidate for the Presidency. Judge Parker reached his decision concerning the date in a long consultation with William F. Sheehan Saturday, and a telegram was at once sent Champ Clark, of Missouri, chair­ man of the committee named by the Democratic convention to notify the nominee for President. Champ Clark ♦Is expected to call a meeting of his -committee, probably to be held in New York, and he may also come to Rose- mount to talk over arrangements with Judge Parker, ,although no plan for such a conference has yet been made. 125 Ready for Work. Cleveland, Special.—One hundred and twenty-five men who have said they were willing to take the places of strik­ ers at the Chicago packing houses are awaiting the word which will send them to the scene of the great strike. Manager J. F. Shields says he has ap­ plications from experienced butchers who want to go, now that the packers have declared their intention of keep­ ing all non-union men employed. TARHEEiCROP CONDITIONS Conditions for the Growth of Crop# Have Been Favorable.- The State Weather Bureau at Raleigh Issues the following: The temperature during the -week ending Monday, July 18, was warm in all sections of the State, and ranged Glightly above normal. The rains du­ ring the week fell principally on the Ilth and 12th, although there were a few scattered showers on the 15th; the latter part of the week was, therefore, generally fair and favorable for growth of crops and for the advancement of farm work. The distribution of the rain fall was very irregular. In the south- central counties, particularly Anson and Almance, there has been entirely too much; and as a result a number of coru and cotton fields on lowlands are lodged and becoming weedy. Re­ verse conditions prevail in the north­ eastern counties, where practically no rain has fallen recently; and the crops, while clean and well worked, are be­ ginning to show the effects of the pre­ vailing dry weather. The rainfall has been deficient also in most of the wes­ tern counties and in sections of Guil­ ford, Stokes and Surry. The most fa­ vorable weather conditions have pre­ vailed in the middle and southeastern counties, where the week has been ex­ ceptionally favorable for the agricul­ turalist. Cotton continues to do well and is blooming freely. In the south-central counties, where the rains have been excessive there are a number of com­ plaints of lodged and weedy fields, and of a too rapid growth; some complaints of lice have been received from Bertie county; but elsewhere the crop is growing satisfactorialy, even under the adverse weather conditions in ' the northeastern counties. Corn has a good healthy color and the stands are satis­ factory; it is silking and tasseling, and i3 being worked the last time. Thresh­ ing wlieat and oats is in full progress in the central and western districts with satisfactory results as regards to the yield and quality. The tobacco plant continues thrifty, although still back­ ward in most places; topping is general In the western and central counties, while in the eastern counties curing has already begun. Watermelons are ripen­ ing, and a number of large shipments have been made from the central and southern counties; the quality of the melons is variable. The reports in re­ gard to the fruit prospects are con­ tradictory. Berries will be plentiful, while apples promise a small crop. The recent hails in the central countries have damaged considerable of fruit; but the majority of the reports indicate for a fair crop of grapes, peaches and plums. Gardens and minor crops are generally good. Rain (in inches) for the week ending S a. m. today: Raleigh, 0.60; Wilming­ ton, 1.20; Hatteras, 0.20; Charlotte, 3.50; Asheville, a trace; Goldsboro, 0.7}; Greensboro, 2.01; Lumberton, 0.52; Newbern, 1.48; Weldon, 0.58. Weekly Cotton Letter. The following cotton crop letter is furnished as information by W. F. Klumpp & Co: Weather conditions con­ tinue favorable for the crop and while there have been complaints of too much moisture in some sections of Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas, caus­ ing fields to become grassy, showers have been a benefit to the crop in the Eastern belt, and with the return of fair weather within the past few days farmers have been able to do consider­ able field work. The boll weevil is causing consider­ able apprehension in many sections of Texas, and it remains to be seen to what extent this pest may ravage the crop. The crop generally is In good condi-, tion and making rapid and satisfactory growth, blooming and fruiting well, and is at least fifteen days ahead of last season, and with favorable weath­ er, picking will be general in South­ west Texas latter part of this month, . and Southern Louisiana and Mississippi! by the middle of August. Weather conditions will continue to govern the course of prices. Any un­ favorable reports would cause a rapid upward movement as a large crop Ir necessary to replenish stocks. Boy Drowned in a Well. Greensboro, Special.—At Jamestown Sunday afternoon, Fred Brown, aged nine, son of Mr. and Mrs. Pickney Brown, while trying to draw a bucket of water from a new, uncurbed 50-foot rock-lined well, caught hold of the rope of the bucket, just as it reached the water, 40 feet below, and was plunged headlong down the well. The alarm was given by his seven-year-old sister who was -with him, and in 15 minutes the lifeless body of the little fellow was drawn up from the well. He had evidently been killed by strik­ ing the rocks in his descent, as his neck was broken and his head terribly gashed, the skull being fractured in three places. British Steamer Detained. Aden, By Cable.—The British steamer Persia was forcibly detained by the Russian volunteer fleet steamer Smolensk, which transferred to the Persia a portion of the Japanese Inail1- seized on the North German Llyod steamer Prinz Heinrich, on July 15th.

Brown’s plantation in the county, was dangerously burned late Tuesday afternoon by the explos­ ion of some gunpowder.

He is in a criti­ cal condition and his recovery is very doubtful. Major General Henry C. Corbin, com­ manding the department of the Atlan­ tic, has sent to Adjutant General John D. Frost an invitation to the governor and two members of his staff to be present at the regular and militia maneuvres to be held near Gainesville, Ga., September 5 to 10. It is not yel known whether or not the governor will be able to accept, b u t. from the present prospects it is hardly probable that ■ he will. He is forced to decline almost all of his invitations now on ac­ count of the increased work of the of-1 flee, Re-interred Beside Monument.

EIlis received his month’s sal­ ary last night. He leaves a wife and three small children. The Tobacco Outlook. Captain E. M. Pace, of Wilson, has the following to say as to the prospects for tobacco this season: “In Eastern Carolina the farmers will not make more than 30 or 35 per cent, of their usual tobacco crop simply because, from one cause and another, they did not plant the weed. However, In the piedmont section the tobacco crop is large and fine. In fact I have just come from Stokes and Surry counties, and I never saw finer crops in my life than I did there.” New Bank at Lumberton.

Only $29,549,606 in Washington —De­ crease Due to Panama Payments. Washington, D. C.—The cash belance in the United. States Treasury has been reduced to a lower point than at any time for many years. It noiv stands at $150,859,848, although the balance available a little inore than a yeac ago was nearly $240,000,000. The cause of the decrease in the last few weeks is chiefly the payments on account of the purchase of the Pan­ ama canal property and rights on the Isthmus. Of the balance of $150,859,848 now on hand, only $29,549,G00 is actually in the treasury, the balance of $321,- 310,242 being in national bank depos­ itories in various parts of the country. The federal deposits in the banks how­ ever, were reduced to a large extent by the withdrawals on account of the canal payments. Secretaries of the treasury usually hold that the actual balance in the treasury proper should not be allowed to fall below $50,000,000, this being re­ garded as a safe working balance, but the amount is now short of that mark by more than $20,000,000. It is probable that the cash balance will be further reduced during the next few weeks, for during the first nine­teen days of July the expenditures of the Government have exceeded the .current receipts by $18,636,342, or nearly $1,000,000 a day.

MAY CAUSE GRAVE CRISIS EDgllBli WarBhIps at Alexandria, Snei and Aden—Russian Sl&Ips Kesrarded as Pirates—Two Vessels From Mediter­ ranean Squadron Ordered to Fork Said —Russia to Give Up the Malacca. London, England—It is believed by naval officers cognizant ot certain or­ ders issued to British warships that the British Government means to com. pel the Eussians to give Tip the steam* ship Malacca, which they seized as a prize of war and are taking to Libau. It Is also confidently expected for the same reason that It has been deter­ mined to put a complete stop to the unlawful operations of the Russian volunteer cruisers. The Malacca was reported as pro* ceeding through the Suez Canal toward Port Said, navigated by a Bussian crew and flying the Bussian flag. One development was the detaching by Admiral Domville, who commands the Mediterranean squadron, of two cruis­ ers under orders to proceed to Port Said, which is a t the northern end of the Suez Canal. It is assumed that these cruisers will reach Port Said ahead of the Malacca and be there when she arrives. It is considered probable that they will compel the Bussians to give up their prize. “Are our warships going to Port Said just to watch the Russians sail tho Malacca past them?” queried a British naval captain, adding: “How foolish that would be! How fctmiili&ting! In heaven’s name, what IToiild the British people say of such an operation? I can’t believe those cruisers are sent to Port Sai'l with any other purpose than to take the Malac­ ca away lrom the Bussians and send her off again on her voyage to the Far East.” There Is no question whatever that the British Government would strengthen itself tremendously with the peoplfi,of this country by a course such as iraval officers think it has de­ termined to follow.

Chicago, III. — The packing house strike was ordered renewed in Chicago and all other cities. Violation of agreement by the packing house pro­ prietors is assigned as the reason. The following dispatch was sent by President Donnelly to the employes of various packing houses In the differ­ ent cities affected by the previous strike: “Order out all the departments again! Companies violated agree­ ment. MICHAEL DONNELLY. ‘President International Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen.*’ The summary action of the strike leaders In ordering a renewal of hos­ tilities was followed by equally vigor­ ous efforts at u restoration of peace. As a result, the news of the strike or­ der was folio \v oil within : n hour by an announcement that a joint confer­ence at the offices of Armour & Co. had been arranged to take place be­ tween the packing house proprietors and the labor leaders. The purpose of the joint conference was stated to be to discuss the alleged unjust discrim­ ination on the part of the packers. While the immediate provocation for the renewal of the strike was appar­ ently the failure of the packers to take back a larger proportion of the strik­ ers who reported for work the real cause of the rupture was inferred to be a circular issued by the packers. The circular purported to explain to the public the agreement entered into with the labor leaders. Seemingly the circular could be taken as implying that that agreement did not bind the packers to re-employ all of the men who walked out. The construction the labor leaders had placed, upon the agreement was that all should be re­ employed within forty-five days. The portion of the packers’ circular objectionable to the unionists follows: “In the agreement reached the, pack­ ers reserve the privilege of retaining in their employ ail employes that have been hired while the strike has lasted, thus guaranteeing to these men the fair treatment they deserve and gaining for the packers one of the most important point for which they contended aud for which they stood out so long. The privilege of arbitra­ tion within the time i.init of forty-five days covers the question of ‘discrimin­ ation’ only, and is in no way intended fto guarantee to the striking employes that they will be taken back aud given the places now filled by non-union help.” According to estimates S530 men were directly affected by the clash. Fully that number of strikers were on hand expecting immediate employ­ ment, while others were expecting re­ instatement later. Promises to Give Up Malacca and to Ouit Seizures. T he B rU ish Stcanter to B e H anded O ver to H er O w ners at Suda B ay, Islan d of Crete, A fter B erfnnctary Search, St. Petersburg, Russia.—In response to the energetic protest made by the British Government against the seizure of the Peninsular aud Oriental mail steamer, the Malacca, by a Bussian volunteer fleet ship which passed through the Dardanelles, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs handed to British Ambassador Hardinge a note in which Russia promises that the Malacca shall not be brought before a prize court, aud undertakes that the incident shall not be repeated, As a formality the Malacca’s cargo will be examined at Suda Bay, island I of Ci1Cie, iii the presence of the British and Russian Consuls, the Russian Gov­ ernment liaving ordered her to stop at Suda Bay for that purpose. The report of the captain of the St. Petersburg, which has just reached the Admiralty, gives as his reason for the seizure the fact that the British mas­ ter of the Malacca declined to produce the manifest of his cargo, as required by international law, when stopped by u belligerent in time of war. The Russian authorities, after receiv­ing the report, tried to stop the Mal­ acca at Port Said, but she had already sailed. Both countries in the final agreement displayed a concilatory spirit. In usually well informed quarters the belief is expressed that the recall of the Russian volunteer fleet steam­ ers has been ordered. WRIT OF ERROR FOP. BURTON.

Liberty, Mo.—Alonzo Haggard, an insane man, escaped from his guards in the court house here at 7.30 a. in. and climbed upon’ the high dome of the court house. As he had been very violent, the officers were afraid to try to overpower him there, and he was left, alone. Crowds watched him from the streets. He kept moving about at first, and at times the spectators held their breath in expectation of seeing him slip. Then he lay down on a flat space, eighteen inches wide, as if going to sleep, forty feet above the roof of the court honse. Haggard then climbed the lightning rod to the top of the statue of the Goddess of Justice, on the dome, 150 feet from the grouud, and sat composedly on the goddess’ shoulder. Haggard was decoyed down to the roof and captured at 3.40 o’clock p. m. by Sheriff Mymore. He was induced to come down by his sister, who was sent from the attic by a trap door in the roof.

Mrs. Maj'brick’s imprisonment of more than fourteen years of her life closed before the arched doorway of the convent of the Sisterhood of the Epip­ hany in this Uttle town, with the black- robed Sisters softly uttering their blessings and good wishes for her fu­ ture. With two companions Mrs. May-; brick entered the carriage of Miss Dal- rj’inple, secretary of the Sisterhood, and was driven rapidly to Staustell, a small station fourteen miles away, where, after exchanging good-bys with her companions, she boarded a train and started on her journey to France. She will not go to America until her presence there is considered necessary. The greatest secrecy was thrown about her departure. Mother Super­ ior Julian of the convent said to a rep-' resentative of the Associated Press, that under her instructions she must1 refer all inquirers to the Horae Office., Others at the convent were equally un­ communicative. At the railroad station orders were' issued forbidding the employes to dis­ cuss Mrs. Maybrick or even to admit that she was at the convent. When Mrs. Maybriek first arrived here she was kept under strict sur­ veillance, never leaving the convent walls. ' ^ ' - ’ - • Mrs. Maybrick, who was Miss Flor­ ence Elizabeth Chandler, a member of a well-known and prosperous South­ ern family, was married July 21,1881, in St. James’ Church, Piccadilly, to’ James Maybrick, of Liverpool. She! was then eighteen years old. Her hus-i band was more than forty years of age. In the ,spring of 18S9 Mr. Maybrick’ became ill, and In a few days he died. His brothers investigated his death, and charged Mrs. Maybrick with the murder of her husband. A long trial followed, and a number of doctors swore that the deceased died of arsen­ ical poisoning. The defense proved that; for twenty years Mr. Maybrick hadj been a confirmed user of arsenic, and, that he daily took doses large enough' to have killed a dozen ordinary men. Mrs. Maybrick was eventually sen-; tenced to death by the judge, Sir Fitz-; James Stephen, who spoke for two, days in charging the jury. He said! it was impossible for them not to find1 her guilty in the face of the medi-: cal evidence. The judge died some: time later In a madhouse. j From the time of Sirs. Maybrick’s conviction, her mother, the Baroness del Roques, was unremitting in her efforts! in behalf of the prisoner. She succeed-1 ed in having the death sentence com-; muted'to penal servitude for life, and! finally has obtained the freedom of her! daughter, to whose release from pris-; on she had devoted her life. The! Baroness was aided by influential’ friends on both sides of the Atlantic. In 1900, after the death of Lord Rus­ sell of Killoweii, Chief Justice of Eng-! land, a letter, which he had written: to Mrs. Maybrick was discovered. It; showed that he was convinced that she: ought never to have been convicted, aud it has been generally understood that all the recent American ambassa-' dors to the Court of St. James have done everything possible to obtain Mrs. Maybriek’s pardon. The fact of her probable release was, used as the reason for securing the' postponement of a trial last year of lawsuits bearing on Mrs. Mayhriek’s, interest, In land in Kentucky, Virginia; and West Virginia until she was able; personally to testify. If she was not; able to testify In these suits Mrs. May­ brick and her mother would have Iostl all title and interest in many thou­ sands of acres of land involved in the case. • i RUSSIA ADDS TO WOES OF JEWS.

PaBoxlSSt AtlaiitajGay i Zebras as Beasts of Burden. South Afridan native traditions have it that in the long-forgotten days the zebra was a domesticated animal and was held in complete subjection by its master, man. In modem times several attempts have been made tc train this hardy beast. Experiments at the London zoological gardens in­ dicate that zebras can be readily made serviceable. There are innu­ merable herds of zebras running wild in South Africa and if they could be broken to domestic use their subjec­ tion would solve a problem which for generations has been a puzzle to the best experts.

I The above was clipped from tliei Cooleemee correspondence iu last week’s issue of the Davie Times. We will try and answer it. First, All indications point to a sweep­ ing Republican victory in Davie this year. The Republicans will nominate a ticket composed of gen­ tlemen, and will elect them, with­ out the aid or consent of the boor who wrote the above article. As to the portable bar-rocms, one from Cooleemee should lie able to speak knowingly, for there have been more indictments from that place for retailing than any other point in the county—and since the Democratic dispensary, has been closed our friend must be getting dry, as he is so much interested ini the whiskey part of the campaign. We would suggest, that he call on the crowd who shipped a car-load to Greensboro to supply the Demo­ cratic Convention. No doubt it was all drank, but more can begot where that came from. We will not call on our Democratic friends should we need any. We must say there is not much of % prospect for the Democratic gang in this county.
