Odsesa.—The red fhig of revolution is hoisted at the masthead of the Kuiaz Potemkiue, Russia’s most powerful battleship in the Black Sea, Which now lies in Odessa Harbor in the hands of mutineer?. With her are two torpedo boats, the crews of which have also mutinied. The captain and most of the officers of the battleship were murdered and thrown overboard in the open sea, and Ilie ship is completely in the possession of the crew and a few officers who have cast in their lot with the muti­ neers. The guns of the Kniaz Poteinkine flommaud the city, and in the streets masses of striking workmcu who Ccd before the volleys of the J troops arc now inflamed by the specta­cle of open revolt on board an imperial warship, and are making a bold front against the military.The rioters are in a most Uoiiant mood, and are not inclined to surrender without lighting. Coal S te au o r SeIzert. In the course of the day one of the rebel torpedo boats seized the Rus­sian steamer Esperanza in the harbor. The steamer was laden with 2000 tons of coal, which the battleship has taken on board. Reports of the mutiny, which oc­ curred while the battleship was at sea. are difficult to obtain, as the mutineers refuse to allow communication with the shore, but it is ascertained that it arose from the shooting of a sailor who was presenting oil behalf of (he crew u compiaiiu against bad . food.According to one version, this sailor, whose name was Omiltehuk. objected to the quality of tlie “borciitdO or soup, and was Immediately shot down by a mess officer. The crew then rose and seized the ship and the officers, eight of whom were spared on condi­tion that they joined the mutineers. The others were killed and their bodies Were thrown overboard. After a period of vacillation the Kniaz Toleinkine headed for Odessa arrived here, accompanied by the two torpedo boats, the crews of which had, joined the mutiny., Scene pn tiac WIiavf. ..Early in the day the body of OmilU . chuk was brought ashore in one of the battleship's boats autl was landed on the new mole, where it has been exposed Ju semi-state all day. It was visited by thousands of persons, many of whom placed coins in a basket at the head of the body as contributions toward a fuud to defray the cost of the funeral. An inscription on the breast of Hie dead sailor states on behalf of the crew that Omiitchuk died for the truth because lie presented a just complaint or the crew. The authorities have made no at­tempt to remove the bodv. Hie sailors having served notice that the ship would open fire on any one seeking to Interfere with it. A police agent visit­ing the spot was killed by striker?. In the course of the day a red flog was hoisted on the Kniaz Poteinkiuet- and members of the crew rowed from ship to ship in the harbor, forcing the stoppage of all work on them. hood was supplied to the mutineers by sympathizers on shore, who pil­laged the maritime storehouses In the evening a bomb was thrown Sn Cathedral Place, killing its thrower aud a policeman. A number o£ barricades have been erected and tumult and disorder reign A telegram from the Mayor of Odes­sa, who is in Moscow, imploring the citizens to restore order, has been posted throughout the city. The governor has telegraphed asking that a squadron be sent from Sevasto­pol. Shipping on F ire. London, Eng.—A dispatch from Odes sa, to a news agency says: . ,F,1?0 ot the quays and thebuildings around the harbor, as well as raHw1 Z'1 the shipping, were in dames.Mobs of incendaries by armed force prevented the fire brigade from work­ing. “The troops have - been completely tei rorized, and were afraid to approach withm range of the Ivniaz I’otemkine’s guns, which threatened a disastrous bombardment. “Thecity was appallingly illuminated by burning buildings, and terror Jfre1 vailed everywhere. Sleep was iflipos- sible, and everybody was watching and waiting.“Tile Whole garrison has been requi­ sitioned for patrol duty.“It is thought tha.t it may become necessary to summon foreign warships for the protection of the foreign cold- nies. fcollisions between the inobs and the police and military resulted in the loss, of... Seventeen lives, including tlipm policemen." 'Another agency dispatch from Odes­ sa says that all the shiping in the har­ bor was in flames and that the crew on the Kniaz Potemkine fired a shell, killing four Cossacks and Wounding seventeen. According to the correspondent of TiiO Standard, the quarantine station, harbor warehouses, stores, offices atid some ships-had been fired by revolu­ tionary bands. AU the foreign ships, the dispatch said, were preparing to slip their mocriugs in case of need, and the. Kniaz Potemkine was playing a searchlight on every portion of the har­bor. , .. ... St. Petersburg,—More serious in its possible effects than all the defeats in Manchuria or the destruction of Ho- jestvensky’s fleet was the news Which reached St. Petersburg that the stand­ ard of open rebellion was floating on board one of the Emperor's battleships in the harbor of Odessa and that with Shotted gnus the mutinous crew, head­ ed by eight officers, were holding the ship against all comers. Coustornalioii in C apital. The authorities were in almost a state of panic, and at the Admiralty consternation reigned. Admiral Wir- enius, Chief of the General Staff of the Xiivy, said that the Admiralty had re­ ceived advices regarding the mutiny, but that he was unable to give details. Ho frankly confessed that the situa- tion was very grave aud that lie did not know what to expect, Maur Sailors Ifiert h'octeil. Should the, sailors of Kruger’s ships jo hr tile mutineers the Government would have to face open revolution, which would spread like Wiidflre to other towns in the Black SOa littoral-. The workmen of tiUthCsd tOwils, from which the sailors of Vlii- warships arc largely recruitiid, are imbued with the SociflliStiq and revolutionary propa­ ganda. At Sevastopol less than n I month ago disorders were suppressed with difficulty.I 'Every since the war started Ugly reports about the crews of the Black Sca fleet have been current. Men have been shot and even officers court-mar tlaled for disobedience, and !'CHintly at Sevastopol twelve sailors were con­demned to three years’ imprisonment for mutiny. Mo better evidence of the spirit of Ihc crews is needed than an official aunounceinenr made by the Admiralty that Admiral Xebogatoff and the other officers who surrehdered in the battle of the Sea of Japan would have to slattd trial by court-martial upon their return. Practically all the crews of the vessels which surrendered Caihe from the Black Sea. Tho fact that Odessa is not a forti­fied port. explains why the Kuiaz Po- temkiho is able to lie in the harbor Unmolested. Tile news of the mutiny, coming just at this time, when Poland is ill a Sthtb of ferment, when agrarian disorders are coming to a head, aud when the Government is attempting a mobiliza­ tion involving about 200,000 men, may easily precipitate a crisis, and the au­thorities are endeavoring to keep i$ from the public, "' N ew spaper ltlsp atch es Stopped, AU newspaper dispa tchbS have been stopped, and the newspapers have been forbidden to mention the mutiny. Nevertheless, the Liberals and agita­ tors have many ways of spreading the tidings through underground channels, and in St. Petersburg the news was known in all the cafes at midnight. Tlie Iladicals hail the event as the dawn of an actual armed revolution, "The moment: for which we have Wait­ ed has come,” said one in front of a restaurant when he heard the news. “Omiltchuk’s name will -go dow-n in history as that of a martyr who pre­ cipitated a Itussian revolution.” News has been received of dis- flers resulting from the mobilization in the Government of. Poltava, some reservists refusing to appear, and oth­ ers starting riots, The authorities of Poland arc unwilling to dispatch troops, as the entire force available is needed in that Government. The mobilization in St. Petersburg and Moscow began at-uidniglit. Many of the reserve men who did not respond were seized in the course of the night at their homes. AU day long men were being marched to barracks under escort. Tile workmen were grumbling aud trouble was expected. Sixty thousand men have been called to the colors. Of this number about half will be Incor­porated into regiments. Au imperial edict orders the mobiliza­ tion for active service of reservists in 124 districts of St. Petersburg, Mos­cow, Kieff, Warsaw and Vilna. These districts include the City of St. Peters­ burg and Moscow. • B ezobrazoir T hrenteuecl. News comes from Tambov Province that M. Bezobrazoff, President of the Yalu Timber Company, who has been living on his magnificent estate in that province, has been obliged to invoke the aid of the military, not only to protect his property, but to save his life. The story of his share in the re­ sponsibility for the war spread to the peasants, and they threatened dire ven­geance.

D. Hawley, alias Snear- ly, of Chicago, who were convicted in Guilford Superior Court, at, the June term, 1901, of conspiracy and sen­ tenced to ten years each in the peni­ tentiary. The Governor’s reasons follow: . “The defendants were cbnvictda By jury and sentenced hr the cblirt: Ofi appeal to tiib Sttpremd Court; the rul­ ing of the. Iilwer court was affirmed; The defendahis ask for S. pardon on the gV'duiid tnat they have already been punished enough and are old men. They also furnish testimonials from, every section of the country . As to their previous good .ChhfoAtrI-.

TEACIIEY ALSO REFUSED. The Governor also debifues., to commute the death sRntence Of Dan TeachSyii Wilo wa§ 'convicted at the Aiigiist term, 1903, of the Superior Court of Duplin of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged. The Governor gives the following reason: GU appeal tt> the supreme Court, a h<Mv trial whs granted for error in re­ ception of evidence; ThB Second trial was held Before Moore, judge, and a ■jury Cf the August term, 1904, when the prisoner was again convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenc­ ed to be hanged. Again he appealed to the Supreme Court, Biit no error was found, and the judgment of the Iowor court was affirmed. In each ap- p.ication for commutation of sentence from the death penalty to life impris­onment the prisoner hah been faith­ fully and earnestly represented. I havO carefully considered all evidence heard patiently all argument, even al­ lowing the prisoner to see me aud make his statement, but after hearing everything that cOUld be urged by counsel and prisbiier; deducted from the testimony, the conclusion is ir- resistable: First, that Bob Riven- barl. was wilfully and with malice aforethought murdered; and, second, that the prisoner, Dan Teachey, com­ mitted the crime. Two fair and im­ partial juries have said the prisoner was guilty. Tlie trial judge and so­licitor refuse to recommend commu­tation of sentence, and the Supreme Court without any dissent has affirm­ ed the judgment of the lower court and said there is abundant evidence on record to the just finding of the jury that the homicide was committed in pursuance of fixed design deliber­ ately formed beforehand and under circumstances attended with heartless brutality; for these reasons, I cannot disturb the finding of the jury and the sentence of the court. Application for commutation is therefore denied and the sentence pronounced must be enforced.’’ New Enterprises. Charters are granted to the Caroli­ na Publishing Company, of Elizabeth City; W. F.

IVith the exception of Aiouz0 Aye- eoek, a white man, all victims were negroes. The ninth man escaped death by falling to the ground when the first voiiey was fired aud pretending he had ben killed. He was wounded In two places and failed to make his escape when the mob left. He was returned to the jail where he was attended by a physician. Four of the meii lynched, including the white IIian1 wei'e charged with complicity in the murder, some weeks age. of H. L. Hollbrook and his aged wife, Wiiioh occurred at their home, lour miles from this place. Their mutilated bodies were found by neigh­ bors on the morning after the crime. Their alleged slayers were being held In jail hero to await trial. The negroes alleged to have had a Iianrt in the murder were Richard and I.ouis Robinson atul Claude Elder. The four ether prisoners who were killed by the mob were in jail for various offenses, some of them being charged with Implication in criminal assaultCa sijj!. There was no disorer of any kind. Tlie mob gathered quietly at the jail, forced Jack Crow, who was on duty, to surrender the keys. The prison was cleared of its prisoners before any one knew what was happening and. the lynching occurred immediately. The bodies of the dead were found where they fell and remained on the spot till the coroner could hold the inquest. Some of the prisoners, it was said, realizing what was to be tlicir fate, begged their captors piteously to be saved. Others marched along stoic­ ally to the snot picked out to be their execution ground. The nine men were forced to stand in the semblance of a low, although the position of the bod­ ies would indicate tha't several had attempted to run away aud were shot down as they turned to flee. It is not known iiow many volleys were fired. The negro who lay in the jail wounded could give but little in­ formation regarding the tragedy. After the lynching the masked men dispersed and went tlicir several ways quickly aud silently. There was no clew as to who com­posed the mob. aud it was not known what steps would be taken at this time regarding the matter. Every- tiling awaiicd tile action of the cor­oner's jury. Tlie gruesome evidence of popular vengeance was left to strike terror into the lawless negro clement which the whites of IVatkinsvilIe hold re­ sponsible for the series of crime the lynching was designed to end. There have been few more terrible punish­ ments inflicted under the mob law in the ,South than this. The authorities have informed the State government of the occurrence, but what steps will be taken to punish the men who took part in the lynching has not been de­ cided. The murders for which some of the men were lynched were committed two weeks ago. Au aged white pair that lived in an isolated farm house were murdered in a brutal ‘ manner, after being tortured apparently by thieves who had tried to make them toil where money was hidden. Au effort was ' made to set tiie house afire after the crime. Bloodhounds were used to track the murderers, and they led to a negro settlement. Seven negroes and a white man who associated with them were arrested 011 suspicion which, in'the popular mind, was certainty. AU the prisoners had bad reputations, and the feeling that they should be put out of the way, beyond the possibility of a miscarriage of justice in the courts, had been strong since their cap­ ture. The negro who was lynched for at­tacking a white woman was a member of the same gang as the others, and- his crime brought to a decision the feeling that a terrible example should be made of the prisoners to put an end to law­ lessness.

For the Summer Couttage. The Willow porch and cottage fur­ niture is unusually attractive this year. Not only are the designs pleas­ ing, but the colors are SScellerit rind in the greatest variety. Sealing-wax red enamei is brie of the favorites this season. A set of these red chairs with a round table to match would he charming for tea on the lawn. Huge red lawn umbrellas are also to be had. No other color makes such a good appearance out of doors. The Combination of bright red, the green of the grass and the varying tones of the shrubbery and flower beds is most delightful. Porch furniture in general—that is, where the establish­ ment does not boast an army of serv­ ants—should be waterproof material. Bamboo is excellent. Porch swings of this wood are rapidly superseding the old fashioned hammock, which al­ ways had to be taken in when showers came. The swings are rather expensive, but they can be made at home for very little, provided some member of the household is handy with tools. Waterproof cush­ ions and rugs are now among porch conveniences'.—New York Evening Post. Two Wills Almost Identical. There was something peculiarly touching about two wills which have just been filed for probate; the two instruments being those of husband and wife, and as near identical in terms as possible. Each bequeathed everything to the other, except in case of previous de­ mise, when grandchildren were named the heirs. The two wills were drawn the same day, witnessed by the same parties, and drawn in the same hand. Husband and wife died within a few days of each other, almost exactly ten years later.

In line with the classic case of the oystc-r shippers, cited by President Hadley of Yale University in his book on Railroad Transportation, Ls the case of the Aroostook potato growers brought by President Tuttle of the Boston & Maine Railroad before the Senate Committee on Interstate Com­ merce. Nothing conhl better show how a railroad works for the interest of thc loealities which it serves. , A main dependence of the farmers of the Aroostook region is the potato crop, aggregating annually eight to ten million bushels which find a mar­ ket largely in Boston aud the adjacent thickly settled regions of New Eng­ land. The competition of cheap water transportation from Maine to all points along the New England coast keeps railroad freight rates on these pota­ toes always at a very low level. Totatoes are also a considerable out­ put of the truck farms of Michigan, their normal market being obtained in aud through Detroit and Chicago aud other communities of that region. Not many years ago favoring sun and rains brought a tremendous yield of potatoes from the Michigan fields. At normal rates and prices there would have been a glut of tiie customary mar­ kets and the potatoes would have rot­ ted on the farms. To help the potato growers the railroads from Michigan made uuprecedentedly low rates on potatoes to every reachable market, even carrying them in large quantities to a place so remote as Boston. The Aroostook growers had to reduce the price on their potatoes and cveu then could not dispose of them unless the Boston & Maine Railroad reduced its already low rate, which it did. By means of these low rates, making pos­ sible low prices, the potato crops of both Michigan aud Maiue were finally marketed. Everybody eats potatoes, and that year everybody had all the potatoes he wanted. While the Michigan railroads made rates that would have been ruinous to the railroads, had they been applied to the movement of all potatoes at al. times, to all places, they helped their patrons to find markets for them. The Boston & Maine Railroad suffered a de­ crease in its revenue from potatoes, but it enabled the Aroostook farmers to market their crop and thereby to obtain money which they spent for the varied supplies which the rail­ roads brought to them. If the making of rates were subject to Governmental adjustment such radical and prompt action could never have been taken, because it is well established that if a rate be once reduced by a railroad company it cannot be restored through the red tape of Governmental proced­ ure If the Michigan railroads and the Boston & Maine Railroad had been subjected to Governmental limitation they would have felt obliged to keep up their rates as do the railroads of France and England and Germany un­ der Governmental limitation and let the potatoes rot.—Exchange. Profits of the PookenJ There has been a great deal of dis­ appointment because the Garfield re-' port shows that the profits of the pack­ ing industry only amount to about two per cent, on the volume of business transacted;. There is no doubt, how- eve^i that the report is dofr^ett ..The census.repprts ,cbrtipilpd i>y the Gdyethiheht in, 190dr befdre thd agita­ tion regarding the 4Iieef tru^t”. hegaii,' throw considerable light oh this ques­ tion. It appears from the census that the packing industry is conducted on a smaller margin of gross profit than any other industry in America. The gross margin of profit of 871 flour and grist mills in Illinois, in the census year, was nearly seven pervcent. on the vol­ ume df business. The gross margin of fifty-one wholesale Slaughtering and uiedt packing establishments in Illinois was only aboiit One^tbird as large, or a little niore,thari twd per cent; on the volume 6f business; Tlie millets have not been accused of being in a “trust/* and bdmbina-- tions would seem impossible in a busi­ ness where there are several thousand mills in'the United States competing actively for the flour trade, but it ap­ pears that the gross profits of the mill­ ers arc larger than the gross profits of the packers. It may turn out that the agitation regarding the packing indus­ try wiil show the same result as ihe devil foiind In shearing the pig: 41AII squeal and ltd Woo!/' A nice thing about marrying money is everybody envies you so much more than you do yourself. WIiyt VVhyj when buying a book, are we in­fluenced by the author’s name? Why by an artist’s if we purchase a picture?Why do wise buyers insist upon having a reliable name on nearly everything they purchase? It is because the name attached is the safeguard of the buyer — a protection against the palming off of inferior articles.This “name guarantee” we all look for in the most important things we buy, and what can be more important than our food? Everybody knows that all intelligent housekeepers are very particular about the buying of things to eat and drink, and no­body realizes it more than the up-to-date grocer, who caters to the wants of his cus­tomers.For instance, every real grocer knows the reason for the universal popularity of Lio^ Coffei ?, the leader or all package coffees. He knows that its uniform purity and high quality have ,made it welcome in millions of American' homes for over a quarter of a century.Kealizing this he cannot but hand it out cheerfully when asked for it. He knows that the people accept the package as & guarantee of the contents.Yet there may be a few grocers left who do not recognize that the buyer—not the seller—has the right of choice, and they may want to sell their loose coffee (who knows wbat it is, or where it came from?) instead of Liox Coffee, which the cus­tomer asks for, and the merits of which both know.In such cases the wisest advice is: 44Change your dealer.” Make Your Own Gas Any country ,iome, store, hotel, church or building’ can be as brilliantly affd conveniently lighted as a city hfltise* A cetyisne Oae is cheaper than kerosene; brighter thah electricity, safer than either.

In the fourth chapter of Second Kinys we are told upou oue occa­ sion the prophet Elislm made a t-ri p liiGilgiil. about live miles southeast of lericho.

Elislia had a servant naincil (ieliazi, who, it seems, was MMthiiig of a cook. So, at the SiRiestiou of his master. Gehazi put a big pot on the fire prepara­ tory to giving the yoiing prophets a big dinner of pottage- a kind of thick vegetable soap or stew. I im­ agine, somewhat like gumbo sonp »f modern times.

Gooks are not needed on Diis earth. The Lord made food, but the devil made cooks ” Of course Mr. MciDonald does not believe in the famous assertion of Mr. Owen Meredith to the* effect that: “That we may live without friends, " e may live without books. But civilized man cuunot live with­out cooks.” • ■ • - - Indeed ,this eccentric gentleman claims that lie has lived for a year now, eating three meals a day. but not a particle of cooked food enter­ ed his bill of fare or his stomach. He says: “ IJeat anylhingl feel like—meat, fish aud cereals. I believe the chemical action in cooking poisons more or less all cooked foods. Cof­ fee cooked is injurious, but coffee raw* you will find beneficial and healthful food.” 1 Imagine your hostess placing be­ fore yon a saucerful of raw coffee beans to masticate. Doubtless friend McDongald has not yet been living upon raw beef and pork long enough .to reap the full reward of his folly; but it will come later on in the form of trichinosis or a few hundred feet of tapeworm. “God never meant that his foodstuffs should be cooked,” he says, and if I had my way all the cooks in Kew Xork would be shipped off. Then you would find all the doctors fol­ lowing them voluntarially.” Wrong you are there Mae. The M. D.’s would have a veritable bo­ nanza should tbe cooks be dismiss­ ed. You just wait awhile.' until the caruiverous microbic worms you are now eutertaiuiug witkiu your anatoiny .come' to maturity, and you will send post-haste for two or three of Brook!jn's best physicians and surgeons to evict your troublesome intestinal tenants. I hardly think that any consid­ erable number of Brooklyites will consent to take their squashes aud salsify, bacon aud beans, peas and pumpkins raw this season, no mat­ ter how* eloquently Mac may pleadfor h;s primitive modepf satisfying human hunger. By the way, the mention of the meek 'and ,lowly pumpkin reminds me that I read in a magazine the other day that the fake fond manufacturers are now even making artificial pump­ kin pies. Who would Iiiive im'ag* ined tli.it as cheap and commou a product as good old toothsome and thoroughly wholesomepumpkiu pie would ever be counterfeited! We will have to look out tor hand-made frish potatoes and artificial heu eggs next. A.s the United States Senate did not have the coinage to incur the the displeasure of the big mqjieyed corporations engaged in ,the adul­ teration of food products, by pass­ ing a pure food law, the State of Massachusetts is doing what she can by a striet State law. The au­ thorities have recently been mak­ ing things exceedingly lively for some of the grocers. A moug other things the State Board of Health has been looking after the condi­ ments that are .being ,.sold to' the people "Ql tfie Bay State. ' After anaiyiziug a number of the sam­ ples ot different brands of catsups, it was found that only one was en­ tirely free from beusoic acid or oth­ er harmful preserving or coloring chemicals. As the law vgry prop­ erly requires that a printed state» meut of the. character.aud quantity of coloring matter and preserving agencies employed iu the manufac­ ture be put upon the label, quite a sensation was created when the Board of Health compelled the man­ ufacturers of poisoned catsup to eompfy Vitli the faw.- . ' " : Persons convicted of selling mis­ labeled goods are subjected to pros ecution. So vigorously have the odicerR been enforcing the law of late that more than a hundred grocers in Boston were arrested within a month aud fined'§25 each. “The activity of the Massachnsetts Board of Health, 'under the lead of ,Prof. Charles Harrington,” ,says a writer in cdmnienting upon the pure food law of that State, is viewed with satisfaction by manufacturers'cf the better sort,who would be pleased to see a high standard of purity main­ tained in the preparation of all kinds of food.” 1Jfhis cannot be done, however, as long as dishonest manufacturers are permitted to, foist their adul­ terated and poisonous prepartions upon the public with no fear of de­ tection and punishmont. It is to be hoped that the worthy example of Massachusetts will be followed by other States until the sentiment of pure and nuadultered food prod­ ucts shall prevail throughout Yhe country. It is also sincerely to be hoped that Congress may be pre­ vailed upon to pass a national law that will insure protection against the most uuscrupnlousset of. viliaus that ever cheated the gallows—the food adulterators and poisoners.— In Iiis second able article upon “The Truth About Pood Adulter­ ations,” published iu the Woman’s Home Companion for April, Henry Irvin Dodge uses this startling lan­ guage: ‘■The man who poisons food for gain builds a palace' of boiies on a foundation of gravestones,’ trans­ mutes blood into rubies'and'tears into pearls. 0 * * The food poisoner is a three-fold criminal, in that his crime is of three degrees— mean, wicked, horrible. The first is against the purse. In this the poisoner descends to the role of a pick-pocket. "He is meaner ihan his metaphorical prototy pe, in that he incurs less risk of bodily punish­ ment. * * * The second de­ gree of the-confidence or-“green goods” order—the crime against the stomach. But the chief of all his crimes is the crime against his race.” And to think that the law-mak­ ing powei of this great government of ours is afraid of offending these arch fiends and enemies' of society by passing a pure food law! The fhpiight is one over which angels well may weep. DICK NAYLOR. Heavy Cotton Hecclpte at Gaffney Special to the Observer. Gaffney, S. C.. Jnly 7,—Since the sudden rise in the price of cot­ ton, wagons loaded with it have poured into this market in or.e con tinuous stream. Weighing facili tics have proved inadequate to meet the demand, and another set of scales had to be procured. A long string of wagons stretched for a good distance, awaiting their turn to be weighed. Nothinglikethis amount of cotton has ever before been put on the market in this county at this time of the year. It is the oxiinipii b f a cotton buyer here that 800 bales'or over have been sold here since Saturday, and it still contin­ ues to pour in. The above is respectfully referr­ ed the cotton editor of the David­ son Dispatch. Reports from all over the country show that the far-' mere hold thousands ot bales of cot­ ton, and they will be beuefitted by the rise i n price. Yet the Dispatch said last week that the rise in the price ot cotton had come too late to benefit the farmer. .Why tell and urge the farmer to hold his cotton iu order to benefit the speculator!

Holmes Communicated Advance Information Through I— C. Van Riper to Theodore H. Price and Other New York Operators. Washington, Special—As the result of fhe investigation by secret sorvice agents into the chargcs made by Hich- o,rd Cheatham, secretary of the Cotton Planters’ Association, that information Iiad been given to cotton brokers in New Vork by some person or persons Sn the Bureau of Statistics of the De­ partment of Agriculture, Secretary Wil­ son made public an official report in which be states tbat Edwin S. Holmes, the assistant statistican, lias been guil­ ty of “juggling" the official report. The report says it has been found that Mr. Holmes communicated advance infor­ mation to Li. C. Eiper, a New York broker, and that a Mr. Hass, of New York, who, Mr. Van Eiper said, acted as Iv go-btween in conveying information from Holmes to other New Yoflr brokers, including Theodore Price. Steps have been taken by Secretary Wilson to prevent any further leakage of the Department figures, and an en­ tire re-organization of the Bureau of Statistics and manner of preparing monthly crop reports has been outlined by him. The papers in connection with the investigation were referred to the TJnited States attorney for the District of Columbia and lie has reported that, in his opinion, a criminal prosecution vvu\ not He against Holmes. Holmes has -IocIi dismissed from the service of the Department. BROKER VAN RIPER WITNESS. According to the report, Wilson Judd, of .New \ ork, formerly in the employ of h. C. Van Riper, induced the latter to tell of his connections with Holmes and then communicated the informa­ tion to Mr. Cheatham.Van Riper became the principal wit­ ness in the investigation conducted by the secret service and said he was in­duced to communicate the fact that ad­vanced information was being given out by Holmes because he had heard that Holmes and his associates had-intended to try to manipulate the June cotton report. Having this information as a Kiiiiulaf ion, the secret service agents interviewed numerous persons who had mcen mentioned by Judd and Van Eiper, as well as gathering a mass of correspondence, including many letters written by Holmes to Van Riper and others. The report made to Secretary Wilson and the Secretary’s comments, together with the details of the new plan of conducting the Bureau of Sta­ tistics, makes more than four thousand words. It reviews the entire investi­gation, beginning with the charges that were laid before Secretary Wilson by Mr. CheaMiaffi several weeks ago. Just That Way.

Newbern, Special.—After forty- eight hours’ confinement In-a little, stuffy room in the hot July tempera­ ture, the jury in tlie case of Thos. W. Dewey, accused of embezzling $100,000 from the Merchants’ and Farmers’ bank here, brought in a verdict of guilty Saturday afternoon at 4:30. The court was surprised when the an­ nouncement was made, as it was thought that, they would hang on till the last minute and then cause a mis­ trial. There was no sensational nor emo­ tional features. Dewey took the ver­ dict as if he had expected it, and show­ ed no signs of disappointment. Judge Jones then. made, a brief speech, in which he said it was the saddest duty of his office which he had to perform, but that the jury had rendered a ver­ dict according to the evidence and it became a most unpleasant task to him to make the sentence, but in accord­ ance with evidence and th$ verdict he felt that a severe sentence was nec­ essary. He therefore sentenced Dewey to six years in prison. Notice of appeal was given and Dewey was put nnder $40,000 bond, which he fur­ nished.John Patterson, the negro who has been on trial for burning hiB wife, was found guilty of murder in the second degree Saturday and sentenced to the penintetiary for twenty-nine years. Peterson’s crime was most brutal. He went to the room where the woman was sleepiflg, saturated her clothing with oil and set the bed on fire. The woman ran out in a blaze and was burned to a crisp. The crime was com­ mitted December 4th. Newbern, Special.—The trial of Thomas W. Dewey, ex'caehiel* of . the Farmers’ and Merchants’ Bank> began here Wednesday. Ex-Ciov1 Ayeock made a last effort to obtain a continu­ance, which was overruled by Judge Jones. ThS defense claimed a lack of material evidence from Pelletier, an associate of Dewey, and that they were unable to procure his affidavit, he be­ing outside the State’s jurisdiction. The work of selecting a jury required about 45 minutes. D. W. Roberts, bookkeeper t’or the bank, identified the handwriting of various entries in tho books as Dewey’s and showed by a comparison of the day bfooic and the ledger, tho amount of Dewey’s defal­cations to he' $110,000, these liaving been made by means of falsifying en­ tries in the day book. Witnesses Bor­ den, of Goldsboro, and Dyer-, of Nor­ folk, testified to IhS defendant’s or­ ders to forward amounts to a New York bank.

France Delivers B odyoftheFam ous Admiral to Americai FORMAL TRANSFER IN PARIS Frenchi Soldiers and OIBciaU Joln r iilted States A m bassadors and N aval Officers In H onoring th e STeiuory o f tlie 1'oro - m ost F lsttrs Hf Oar E arly N a v y -A feest at N apoleon’s Tom b. Paris.—In tbe presence of the highest dignitaries of France, the diplomatic representatives of many foreign gov^ ernments and eM t aiid iiava! officials of the tJiiited States, the body of Ad­ miral John Paul Jones was formally delivered to the United States Govern- rnent The ceremony was one combin­ ing impressive dignity with brilliant military and naval pomp, in which the soldiers and sailors of France and the sailors of America united in rendering honors to the illustrious founder of the American navy. The occasion Wfls probably without parallel, as the funeral was that of a Kevolutiouary hero who had iain neg­ lected in a foreign grave for over 100 years. Seldom has an occurrence awakened sucli widespread interest in the French capital. Dense, throngs packed the Champs Elysees and -other principal thoroughfares to witness the imposing cortege. The unusual sight of a large detach­ ment of United States sailors nnd ma­ rines in the central thorough faros of Paris aroused much interest aud brought out an enthusiastic greeting from tbe crowds along the line of march. The American naval contin­ gent numbered 500 men, with twenty- live officers. They were uniformed as a Ianuing party, wearing the regulation gaiters and carrying rifles with fixed bayonets. The Americans made a most favor­ able impression by their sturdy, bronzed appearance and the smartness of tlieir movements. The ceremony of delivering the body was held in the American Church, on the Avenue de l’Alma, at 3.30 o’clock in the afternoon. The interior of the gothic edifice was decorated with plants and flowers. At the foot of £&» cliancel rested the coffin, wound ia an American flag and literally buried in masses of floral emblems. The French Uovernment had taken charge of the arrangements, and huissiers of the Foreign Office, wearing impressive sil­ ver chains, acted as ushers. At the right hand of the altar sat Ambassador JIcCormiel;. Senior Spe­ cial Ambassador Porter, Juuior Special Ambassador Ixiomis, United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Rear-Ad­ miral Sigsbee and other officers of the American squadron. Across the aisle sat Premier Bouvier with other mem­ bers of his Cabinet, practically the en­ tire diplomatic corps and officers of the army and navy. .Scores of American sailors in the naves on either tsid-3 of the altar gave a fitting background to the imposing scene. The formai c-eremony consisted of the delivery of the body by General Porter, as the finder and custodian, to Francis B. Loomis, Assistant Secretary of State, representing the United States, appointed to receive it. and Mr. Loomis commissioning Admiral Sigs- bee to transport it to America. As the surpliced choir took up 41My Country, ’Tis of Thee,” the entire as­ semblage rose and joined in the strains of tbe patriotic hymn. Eight brawny sailors from the Brooklyn tbeu stepped forward, and raising the coffin on their shoulders, bore it slowly from the church to the waiting gun carriage. This was draped with the national colors and was drawn by six black horses. The coffin was covered with flags and flowers, and took the place of the unlimbered gun. The cortege was now formed, aud proceeded along the Avenue de l’Alma, the Champs Elysees, across the Alex­ ander Briclge to the Esplanade des In- valides. Eepublican Guards lined each side of the avenues, holding back the dense throngs.Heading the procession cams a squadron of cuirassiers, in glittering helmets aiul breastplates, screiching from curb to curb, with a division of infantry under General Frey. After them rumbled the gun caisson bearing the flower laden coffin, with guards of American sailors on either side. Back of the coffin was a long line of distin­ guished officials, all walking, accord­ ing to the French custom. ’ The ap­ pearance of the detachment of 500 American sailors and marines was the signal for enthusiasm all along the line. Another French division, com­ posed of infantry, cavalry and artillery, closed the cortege.Arriving at tbe Esplanade des Anya- lides an imposing picture was present­ ed. The French Government had erected a large pavilion in which to deposit the coffin. The pavilion was richly hung with crimson velvet, with martial emblems and battleaxes, en­ twined flags and a row of brass field pieces along the front. Near by rose the gilded dome of the tomb of Napo­ leon.Tiie coffin was deposited in the cen­ tre of tbe pavilion while the cortege passed, rendering military honors. Later it was borne to the Xmvalides railroad station and placed in ft fun­eral car, where, guarded by French and American sailors, it was taken to Cherbourg. Sweden’s Army Mobilized. An order for tiie mobilization of the army of Sweden has been issued. E L IH U R O O T S U C C E E D S HAY SU B M A R IN E C R E W SAVED Beeonies Secretary of State in Pres- ident Roosevelt’s Cabinet Abandons a i a v Fractloe Paying a Tb<m- sand D ollars a D ay to D o So~T o B e Sw orn In In Tw o W eeks* Oyster Bay, N* Y1--Offidai announce- torent was made herd that Slihli RoOt1 of New York City,, had been appointed Secretary of State. The announcement was ijjade on authority of President Roosevelt in the following statement Siveii oiit by Secretary jjOebi llEIihu Root has accepted the tender by the President of the Secretaryship 0L ^le will take the oath ofoffice in a couple'of weeks, but it will necessarily be some little time before he closes up his business affairs. He will not go to Washington permanently until some time in September.” President Hoosevelt is m uch.grati­ fied at Mr. Hoot’s acceptance, and is deeply sensible of the personal sacri­ fices made, For Mr. Boot to re-enter the Cabinet -will mean the sacrifice- of what without doubt is one of the most lucrative law practice in the country. He is said to be earning on an average ¥1000 a day. He is under retainer with many great corporations, and it is sug­ gested that the delay in the formal an­ nouncement of. his appointment and' tbe exchange of formal letters between hiuiself and Mr. Hoosevelt is due to his desire to wind np his law business. It is the intention of Mr, Hoot to as­ sume the duties of Secretary of State practically at Oncej although it will be perhaps two Weeks before he formally will take the oath of office. His pro­ fessional interests are so large that he will have to devote considerable time to a satisfactory arrangement of them- before he goes to Washington to take permanent charge of the State Depart­ ment. When he takes active charge of the department he will give up entirely his law practice. Elihu Hoot was born in Clinton, One­ ida County, February 15, 1845, the son of Dr. Oren Hoot, Professor of Mathe­ matics at Hamilton College. Mr. Hoot received his education at Hamilton College and was graduated from that institution in 1864. He was the vale­ dictorian of his class. For a year after his graduation Mr. Root taught in the academy of Rome. He then entered New York University for the study of the law. He was ad­ mitted to the bar In 1867. From the start of his legal career he was princi­ pally identified with corporation litiga­tion. He was a candidate for Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in 1879, but was defeated. He was appointed Uni­ ted States District Attorney for the Southern District of New Tork in March, 1S83. Mr. Root always mani­ fested an interest in politics. Mr. Root succeeded General Alger as Secretary of War in the Cabinet of President McKinley. He remained in office under President Roosevelt until February, 1904, when he resigned. Mr. Root left the Cabinet for the de­ clared purpose of resuming the practice of the law in order to recoup his for­ tune. French War Vessel Raised After Thirty Hours Under the Sea. i .

Y.—Returns from the first month during which the new stock transfer tax has been in operation In­ dicate that the revenue thus derived is greater than even the most sanguine advocates'of the law expected. While the exact figures will not be known until the Bank of Manhattan, the State’s fiscal agent, files Its re­ port, Controller Kelsey said that re­ turns from the sale of stock transfer stamps during June would' aggregate 5400,000. Up to June 21 the sales reached $368,000. On the basis the annual revenue from the tax will equal $5,000,000, which is $2,000,000 in ex­ cess of estimates made while tbe law was under discussion. CURFEW IN PITTSBURG. Girls Must Be Home by 8.15 and Boys by 9.45 Hereafter. Pittsburg, Pa.—For the first time in fifty years the curfew bell is now toll­ ing nightly in Pittsburg. There were two curfews, one for girls at 8.15, the other for boys at 9.45. A few arrests were made before midnight.The curfew idea was revived . by Chief Wallace, because too many chil­ dren were hanging around the streets at night. The law is an old one which has been on the ordinance books of the city' many years, but has been disre­ garded. . , _ . t Paris, France.—Ensign Robin and the twelve men with him imprisoned for more than thirty hours in the after compartment of the French submarine torpedo boat Farfadet were rescued at Sidi AbdaIIah1 Tunis, When the boat •was raised to the surface after one of the greatest battles to save human life under the circumstances that has.ever been waged. The story of suffering they tell is thrilling beyond all description. Ignorant of what was being done to save them, save for the reassuring taps Oi the divers at work placing the cradle of chains about the submarine, the im­ prisoned men waited in dread silence fbr rescue—or death. The submarine was brought to the surface by two powerful floating der­ ricks in a cradle of chains at 3 o’clock In the afternoon. She was being taken slowly into shallow water when some at tbe chains yielded to the great strain and snapped. A groan went up from the spectators when they saw the submarine upend as if to again slide to the bottom. But grappling irons were fixed and the Far- f adet was again cradled in a horizontal position and towed to the shallows, where the water was pumped fronj the two forward compartments and the bulkhead door leading to the prisoners was opened. The men were ail unconscious, but the rush of fresh air Quickly revived them. The boat had been on the bottom for thirty hours at 2.30 o’clock in the after­ noon when the two great floating der­ ricks anchored over the spot were pre­ paring to raise her in the cradle of chains. Chains also were run from the winches of a battleship anchored near by. Ten minutes before this the men had responded to the signals of the divers on the steel outer shell of the submar­ ine. Signals Suddenly Cease. At the vital moment when the en* gines of the derrick boats were about to be started the signals from the sail­ ors in the pent-up after-room ceased. Ensign Robin is supposed to have an-; swered the signals of the divers np to the last minute. Lieutenant Hotter, the Farfadefs commander, and two sailors were on deck when the .boat began to sink, and, as previously told, were hurled into the water. When the signals ceased it was taken to mean that the air in the after com­ partment had been so far exhausted that the imprisoned men had become unconscious for the lack of it. It means that fheir lives were meas­ ured by minutes—perhaps by seconds. The divers tapped half a dozen times, but received no answering taps, and then they signalled for the derrick en­ gines to start at once. The straining chains tautened as the quadruple ex­pansion engines on the derricks, the most powerful of their kind in France, began to wind the links upon the steel drums. On shore the great throng awaited anxiously the news of the fate of these men. From France the telegraph wires were buzzing with inquiries as to whether the men were alive or dead. Of the fate of the submarine there was little heed. I When the boat went down one of. the oldest and most experienced divers in the harbor was employed to descend to her. He reached the small square deck of the Farfadet two hours after she went down. She was in sixty feet of water, subjected on all sides to the pressure of two atmospheres. The diver had been taught the signal lauguage that had been part of the education of the crew in case of just such an accident as this. He found the Farfadet on an even keel, resting on the waving lines of sand at the bottom and perfectly mo­ tionless. Reaching the deck, he closed the manhole cover, which was resting on its hinges and leaning against the rail. Then he stretched himself on his stomach, and, after noting that his. lines and air tubes were not entangled, he crawled carefuly along until his head and shoulders were over the after­ compartment. He tapped: three times with a small steel hammer on the outer sheathing of the submarine, according to the signal code-of the vessel. The taps meant: “Do you hear me? Do you under­ stand?” He waited, and after an interval of five seconds repeated the signal. This conveyed to the imprisoned men the sure knowledge that the signals were made by a human being. In answer came the taps which meant: “We are alive, but the air is going. Hurry.” The diver waited only long enough to signal: “I will signal at intervals; answer.” Then he ascended to the surface and the derricks wer£ placed in position, while five other divers quickly made ready and descended to aid in placing the chains about the Farfadet. Engineers declared that if the boat had been able to rise through her own exertions it would have bene a great triumph for this type, of vessel. The Farfadet is one of two sub. marine boats of the. latest model sta­ tioned at Bizerta. She has electric propulsion, four torpedo tubes and re­ versible propellers. Her displacement is 202 tons. Bicyclist, Riding In the Darki Missei Death by a Hair. Some years ago I had an escape that seems almost incredible. I had been for a long bicycle ride, and was returning home very late at night. It was pitch dark, and, to make matters worse, my lamp had' burnt out, and, being of a reckless nature, I continued to pedal albng swiftly. AU of a sud­ den I felt myself bouncing about as if I was. on a spring board. The mo­ tion stopped after a few seconds, and I alighted and struck a match. The scene horrified me. I had crossed a corner of a quarry on some planks that were laid across for the men to wheel over. Had I swerved a hair's breadth I should-have been dashed to atoms. I dare hot ride again that night, but sat down on a stone and pa­ tiently awaited daybreak, when I found that, instead of keeping to the highway, I had entered- through a gateway that led direct to the quarry. I could not have accomplished the. feat of riding over that bridge by day­ light if offered a thousand poun£2, and the incident so unnerved me that I have never ridden a -“bike” since.— C. R.

Frederick Wolfinger of Oxford, War­ ren county, found among the brush a few days ago a gold watch and chain, says a dispatch from Orange, N.' J. About twelve years . ago Nicholas Lompshire lived near the place, and his daughter, who was then 14 years of age, got as a birthday present from him a gold watch and chain. One day while In search of chestnuts she lost the gift. A vain search for it fol­ lowed. When Mr. Wolfinger found the timepiece the other day he took it to Mr. Lompshire, who lives on Bel- videre avenue, Oxford. Mr. Lomp­ shire identified the watch. The hands had been rusted oil and the works were in bad condition from dampness, but the case was in excellent condi­ tion.

A Nightingale School. In Russia, when a person happens to possess a nightingale which is a good singer, the bird is made a sort of teacher of music to others of his kind in the neighborhood. Many Rus­ sians seem to be in the habit of keep­ ing pet nightingales; and the neigh­ bors bring their cakes-to the owner of the finest one, that the inexperien­ ced birds may listen to the singing of their master. The birds are reported as keeping quiet and listening intent­ ly. Then after awhile they venture a note or two, then another, and anoth­ er, till they have caught the song and can go through with it. It is said that the nightingale sits in apparent medi­ tation as if inwardly rehearsing and then iursts out into song. Patrick’s Last Hope. Albert T. Patrick, now in Sing Sing (N.

They were af­ ter votes when they promised 12} cents per pound for cotton. " They got- the votes and Mr. Roosevelt was elected. But cotton is now near the old soup-house starvation price and the fellows, or rather the gentlemen Who' made such roseate promises are as dumb as OysterB on the price of cotton.—Davidson Dis­ patch I - .In the first place Republicans made no such promise. ..In saying vote for Roosevelt, prosperity and good prices, or even 15 cent cotton, they were telling the people what they had got under a Republican iulministratibn, —something they never got under Cleveland. YVe ate to judge the future by the ex­ periences of the past, and every in­ telligent person knows that the peo­ ple of this country have always en­ joyed better times under a Repub­ lican administration ,than under a Democratic, and while all prices are governed, more or less, by sup* ply and demand; yet, the supply and demand are created by condi­ tions, dependent upon the confi­ dence the people Iiavc in the gov­ ernment to Wisely administer its affaire, and protect' tke people against the harm and injury result­ ing from wild-cat theoretical, six­ teen to oners, and other socialistic ideas, which destroy confidence and paralyze all industrial progress. Confidence, regular work by the laboring classes, creates a demand for the products ot' the farm, and the increased capacity of the labor­ er to consume the farmer’s product creates the demand, and' conse­ quently iucreases the, prices. As ah iljustratioh: Iakethfe soup-house period under Mr. Cleveland, when the laborers ’ were tramping the highways begging for work and for bread, then they consumed little, for they had nothing to buy with; the result was under consumption, and the prices of corn, wheat, cot­ ton aud all other products reached B ail on th e G overnor. .,ThatIs pretty Joiigh' on Gov.

According to Henry Heinser, the sta­ tistician of the New York Produce Ex­ change, who analyzed the Government figures, there is an Indicated yield of 413.150.000 bushels of winter wheat, 292.376.000 bushels of spring wheat and 2,651,110,000 bushels of corn. Those are the estimates based on the reported condition of the principal crops on July I, last. Despite the fact that discredit was to some extent cast upon the Government crop figures as a result of the cotton crop scandal, great Interest was mani­ fested in the showing of the bureau figures. The conditions reported by the Government showed a slight de­ terioration in the condition of the win­ ter and spring wheat crops. The de­ terioration .was slightly in excess of two points for both the winter and spring wheat. This deterioration, turned into bush­ els by the Produce Exchange statisti­ cian, means a decrease of 22,000,000 bushels, as compared with the June forecasts. Notwithstanding this de­ crease, there is every reason to believe that BSfiafty will raise a crop s l i g h t # ^ - iRt.il 700,000,000 bushels of wheat. Last year at this time the prognostications were for a crop of 064,000,000 bushels of wheat, but so unfavorable was the subsequent Weather, with its excessive moisture and cool temperature, that the July es­ timate was shown to be 100,000,000 bushels out of the way when the crop was finally garnered. Last year the crop a? wheat was 552,209,000 bushels. Official Crop Beport. ■Washington, D.

Cotton Mill Notes. A Record man asked a prominent cot­ ton manufacturer if there were many new cotton mills under way in North Carolina at present. He said there were not and probably would be put few for some years to come. The trouble with the cotton mill business is two-fold. One trouble is the speculation in cotton, which keeps the price in such an unset­ tled condition that the manufacturer can hardly tell what his goods cost him and can maintain no standard of values for them, and another reason is that labor is getting so scarce in North Carolina that the mills that are now running are practically all short of help. In England there is an aboun- dance of skilled cotton mill labor. Why cannot some effort be made to get some of it to this country where there is an ever increasing demand for workers? The South is the natural centre of the cotton mill industry and should be more the actual one.—Greensboro Record. The American Cotton Company, of Greensboro, has been chartered to deal in municipal bonds and all other kinds of securities, in seed cotton and to gin and othherwise prepare the latter; to build ginning and cleaning machinery; to build cotton mills, export cotton, etc. the capital stock being 9250,000. The stockholders are Solomon N. Cone, Ju­ lius W. Cone, David Dreyfus, Thomas Crabtree and Neil Ellington. Mr. Mike Brown, of Barnwell, S. C., is said to be the cross-tie king. He fur­ nishes ties to many railways and han­ dles them in very large quantities. He is ready to buy ties at all times and in any part of the country, and equally ready to sell ties at all times and in any part of the country. A big plant to make cast iron pipe is being erected at Sheffield, Ala. The cost will be 9500,000. TEXTILE NOTES. The ginners of Texas will meet at College Station July 25. The Abbeville, (S. C.)

The Yazoo Yarn Mills, reported last week as; incorporated with capital stock of 980,000, is for the purpose of buying the Yazoo Cotton Mills at Ya­ zoo City, Miss. The company will ef­ fect permanent organization about July 15. The American Net & Twine Co., II. F. Williamson, agent, Anniston, Ala., states that there is no truth in the re­ cent reports that the company will build an addition to its plant. This company manufactures nets, seines, lines, and twines, having mills at An­ niston and at East Cambridge, Mass. The plant formerly operated at Greensboro, N. C., by the Van Deven­ ter Carpet Co. has recently passed to the ownership of the Marshall Mills. This company was referred to last week. It is manufacturing stair and art squares, and is composed of the following: Watson Whittleysey, pres­ ident, East Orange, N. J.; Foster M. Voorhees, secretary, Elizabeth, N. J.; and Franklin P. Marshall, treasurer, Greensboro, N. C. Reference was made recently to the purchase of the Eastman Cotton Mills, Eastman, Ga., by W. H. Cotter and as­ sociates, and to their intention of pro­ viding improvements to the plant. The company has awarded contract for new machinery to the Lowell Ma­ chine Shops of Lowell, Mass., and to the Draper Company of Hope'dale, Mass. This equipment is beginning to arrive, and will be in position by the end of AugusL R. H. Wright of the Russell Woolen Mill Co,, Morristown, Tenn., will take charge of the Cumberland Gap Woolen Mills at Cumberland Gap, Tenn., and add six knitting machines. The mill will then operate an equipment of 480 spindles, 24 looms, two sets of 40-inch cards, besides the knitting machinery.

Thinks Europe Wants Russia to Help Curb Germany. SL Petersburg, By Cable.—M. Witte spent an hour with Mr. Meyer, the American ambassador, at the Kleon- michel Palace, discussing the forth­ coming peace conference. Before leaving for Paris next Wednesday, M. Witte will have still another audience with the Emperor. In the meantime he must pay a round of official visits to all the imperial ministers. M. Witte is expected to be the bearer of a pesonal message from the Emperor to President Roosevelt. The press is authorized by Mr. Hart- wig, director of the first department of the Foreign Office, to deny in the most categorical fashion, the report of the alleged contents of the instruc­ tions to M. Witte, published in Paris by The Echo de Paris and elsewhere abroad. “Reports pretending to reveal the character of the instructions to the Russian plenipotentiaries are mere guess work," said M. Hartwig. "These instructions have been seen by only four persons, the Emperor, M. Witte, Foreign Minister Lamsdorf and my­ self. The Echo de Paris’ report says they consist of five pages, whereas the fact is that they cover over twen­ ty pages. The paper says the instruc­ tions are very vague, while on the con­ trary they are very detailed. On one point only, according to the Echo de Paris, are they absolutely specific, namely, as to the leveling of the forti­ fications of Vladivostok; but I can say to you that there" are many oth­ ers.” M. Hartwig also pronounces the sto­ ries that M. Muravieff’s displacement was the result of intrigues by Foreign Minlste Lamsdorf to be pure inven­ tions. The Novosti says it believes that the desires of the anti-German coalition, which Great Britain is trying to engin­ eer, to restore Russia as a threat against German aggression, should be a powerful diplomatic weapon in the hands of the Russian plenipotentiaries. “Europe wants to end the war,” says the paper, “as Russia’s preoccu­ pation in the Far East destroys the equilibrium: Austria is in danger from Germany, which seeks a thor­ oughfare to the Asiatic, in exchange for the compensation in the Balkan peninsula. Germany has pretensions now which she would not have dream­ ed of before the Russo-Japanese war. It is evident from the Morocco inci­ dent that Europe wants peace in order that Russia may safeguard her against German aggression.” Grand Army Commander Dead. Boise, Idaho, Special.—Gen. W. W. Blackmar, commander-in-chief of the G. A. B,, died Sunday of intestinal ne­ phritis. His wife was with him during his illness. The body will be embalmed and taken to the home of the family in Boston. General Blaekmar arrived here on July 10 on an inspection tour of Grand Army posts throughout the NorthwesL He was ill when he ar­ rived, and gradually failed. The se­ riousness of his condition, was kept from the public at the request of his wife. General Blackmar was born July 25, 1841, at Bristol, Pa. He enlisted in the Fifteenth Pennsylvania Calvary and subsequently joined the First West Virginia Cavalry. He served with dis­ tinction throughout the war and at Pfive Forks was promoted on the field by General Custer to the rank 6f cap­ tain. Jap Victory on Sakholin. Tokio, By Cable.—It is officially an­ nounced that the Russian center, hold­ ing Darline and vicinity, was attack­ ed July 11 and offered stubborn re­ sistance. The attack was renewed at dawn of July 12, when the Japanese, dislodged the Russians, driving them in the direction of Mauka. This vic­ tory assures the complete occupation of South Sakhalin by the Japanese. Eighty prisoners were taken by the Japanese, among whom was Lieutenant Maximta. Four field pieces, one ma­ chine gun and the ammunition ware­ houses were captured. The Japanese loss was about seventy men killed and wounded. The Russians lost about 160 men. Private Soldier Killed.

York City.—A summary and large section of the testimony upon which the Hendricks report on the scandals in the Equitable Life Assur­ ance Society was based were made public by the New York .World. So damning a document has never before emanated from a public office. It calls into question the veracity, honor and even the common honesty of men who have long stood high in financial and social circles in New York. It does more. It actually con­ victs some of them on their own testi­ mony of offences punishable by peni­ tentiary sentences. Nothing that has occurred since the beginning of the plutocratic age In America has been so startling In its revelations of' greed, graft and whole­ sale buccaneering. It has shattered forever the glamour that has heretofore surrounded certain multi-millionaires of the eminently re­spectable class, and shows in revolting details the methods employed by them to rob the trust funds of widows and orphans left in their hands. Every member of the ring which which preyed on the Equitable is now in danger of relentless criminal prose­cution. This testimony shows that the guilty officials of the Equitable have diverted more than $20,000,090 of the funds of the society within the last few years. A summary of the most important fea­tures of the testimony follows. Ghauncey M. Depew, a director, tes­ tified that the Depew Improrement Company, a suburban land enterprise, of Buffalo, had obtained from the Equitable a loan of $250,000 on prop­ erty which the State Insurance Depart­ ment had valued as only $150,000, and which was afterward sold on foreclos­ ure for $50,000. As a member of the Executive Ooffimlttee of the Equitable Mr. Depew said he had voted for the loan, but denied that he advised it. He admitted that later he with others in­ terested had agreed to protect .the Equitable against loss, but said, as a lawyer, he did not consider that prom­ ise binding. Mr. Depew testified that since 1889 he had been paid $20,000 an­ nually by the Equitable for legal coun­ sel, and that for thirty years he had received money from the Equitable “on a sort of general retainer.” Mr. De­ pew said he lifted young Hyde’s salary to $100,000 a year at Hyde’s request because of what his father did. He raised Alexander’s salary to make it even with Hyde’s. James H. Hyde on his own tes­ timony, is shown to have been in eight syndicates which sold securities to the Equitable. His widely advertised res­ titution of $61,000 he confessed to be merely formal, as the money has not reached the treasury. He admitted that the society paid for the Cambon dinner and tnat it purchased for him. a $20,000 private car. When the capi­ tal stock of the Equitable Trust Com­ pany was increased he grabbed the profit, for himself. Mr. Hyde'said that it was true that several persons car­ ried on the payrolls of the Equitable did most of their Work for him person­ally. Former President Alexander testified that he was in eight syndicates; had offered to return the profits made in two, but even this small share of his loot had not reached the treasury. He admitted the charge that a host of members of his family were carried on the payrolls at salaries ranging as high $25,000 annually. He admitted sanc­ tioning the leases of Equitable prop­ erty to Hyde’s safe deposit companies at a . nominal rental at the expense of the society. Jacob H. Scbiff admitted that up to the time of the exposure he had been neither a policyholder nor a stockhold­ er in the Equitable, though, as a direc­ tor, he threw a great part of his invest­ ment business to his firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. He admitted selling bonds to the Equitable which he thought un­ fit investments for life insurance socie­ ties; selling Japanese bonds to the so­ ciety and buying them back at a lower figure; selling Metropolitan Street Railroad bonds on which the society suffered a large loss. The sensational part of the Schiff testimony was his impassioned charge that the records of the society had been falsified in so far as they showed sales of Union Pacific stock to the company by his firm. Yet the books of the company show that Schiff voted to approve these records, and the officials of the company pro­ duced checks in payment for this stock made out to his firm and indorsed by it. Valentine P. Snyder testified that in operations conducted by him to effect the merger of the Bank of Commerce and the Western National Bank the Equitable Society lost about $1,200,000. Evidence was presented showing the purchase of Western bank stock by the Equitable for 390 and its sale for 150. More extraordinary yet, it bought Equitable Trust Company stock for abont 1000 and sold it for half as much to George Gonld and E. H. HarrIman on the same day. Huge Railway Earnings.

Miss Elsie Morgan, the only one of the thir­ teen left alive, was shot by the brute and clubbed on the head with an oar when, her bullet-broken arm trailing uselessly, she swam toward a dory into which the murderer sought to lure her. She escaped by pretending to be dead and floating for 100 yards or more aimlessly as a body. The negro, think­ ing he had finished her, bent to his oars and rowed to the island, where Miss Morgan, almost demented from grief and fear, was found hiding In the un­ derbrush several days after. The little island of Utilla, lying off the Honduras coast, and whose popula­ tion is an indiscriminate mixture of whites, Caymanites and Caribs,'was the scene of the extraordinary tragedy. The captain of the little schooner Olympia was about to make a trip to Ruatan, Truxillo and Belize.. He had about 1400 sols, and was to buy cattle at Truxillo to sell at Belize. He car­ ried a crew of four and. some passen­ gers, making the total list of people aboard number thirteen. Among these were two women and two children. The vessel left the harbor of, Utilla at 11 o’clock at night, and after she had been under way less than an hour everybody was aroused by a shot. Rushing on deck, they found a negro, armed with a Winchester rifle, shoot­ ing down the men, one after another. This negro was Robert McGill. It af­ terward developed that he bad stowed himself aboard, with the intention of robbing the captain and then swim­ ming ashore. After he had killed all but one of the men lie ordered tile last survivor to go below and scuttle the ship. When the man reappeared on deck and re­ ported the negro shot Iiim dead. He then put the two women, Miss Elsie Morgan and hey sister, Mrs. Walter Rose, with her six-weeks-old infant, in the d*ry. As soon as they were afloat he changed his mind about allowing the women to live, and killed Mrs. Rose and her infant. Then he began shooting at Miss Mor­ gan and wounded her In the arm. She jumped overboard and started to swim back to the island. He fired at her in­ effectually, but his ammunition evi­ dently gave out, for he promised her immunity from harm If she would come back to the dory. She started back, and when within reach he struck her on the head with an oar, stunning her. Believing she was dead, he rowfed away toward the mainland. Miss Morgan swam back to the isl­ and, where she was thrown on the beach by the waves in an exhausted conditiou. Slie feared that the negro would follow her, so she hid in the bushes and for two days suffered from the heat and exposure, until she was found by a woman from her neigh­ borhood and rescued from starvation. In the meantime the dory had been washed ashore, and there was excite­ ment In the island, as it was believed the Olympia had gone down with all hands. When Miss Morgan told her story an immediate search was insti­ tuted for McGill and the authorities on the mainland were informed of the tragedy. They caught the murderer at El Porvinir, a little town on the road to Ceiba. His life was saved through the presence on the coast of President Bonilla, who was on an in­ spection tour. The Honduras warship, La Tumbla, which has figured In so many revolutions, was brought into service, and the murderer was placed aboard and sent back to the island. The laws of Honduras prohibit the infliction of capital punishment, but it was feared the people would probably take the case in their own hands. MisslEIsie Morgan, the only survivor of the terrible occurrence, visited New Orleans three years ago. She is a well- educated, refinyd young woman, twen­ ty-five years old. OVER A HUNDRED DEAD. Major-General Count Shuvaloffl of ' Moscow, Shot. DEMONSTRATION BY 'CROW DS Scores of Bodies Taken From Rhondda Valley (Wales) Colliery. Cardiff, Wales, — An explosion of firedamp in No. 2 pit of the United Natioiml Colliery Company, at Watts- town, in the Rhondda Valley, the cen­ tre of the great Welsh coal fields, re­ sulted in the loss of over 100 lives. More than three score of bodies have been recovered. A loud report was immediately fol­ lowed by the belching of clouds of smoke and dust from the pit shaft, in which 150 men were working. The force of the explosion wrecked the machinery at the mouth of the pit. AU communication with’ the doomed iueii in this direction was severed. No. I shaft afforded communication with No. 2. The 800 men in No. I and the few who escaped from No. 2 were drawn up. A rescue party descended, but its work was seriously impeded by the foul air and the failing masses of earth dislodged by the explosion. Throne to Be Restored.

One of the peti- .tioners drew a revolver and fired five times at the Prefect. The assassin was arrested. The assassin waited in the anteroom of the Prefecture till the other peti­ tioners had been received, and then, entering the audience room he ad­ vanced-toward Count Shuvaioff, firing five shots at close range. One bullet wounded the Count in the pericardium, another pierced his abdo­ men, a third hit him in the arm, and the fourth In the shoulder, while the fifth bullet fired by the assassin struck the leg of an official who was standing near. According to the physicians the bul­ lets were poisoned. The victim speed­ ily lost consciousness and died. The assassin, who was dressed as a peasant, was not identlfic-d. He was recently arrested as a political suspect, but escaped from the police station be­ fore his examination. A great crowd gathered in front of Count ShuvalofFs house and made a demonstration to show the people’s in­ dignation and sorrow at the assassina­ tion of the Prefect, who was very pop­ ular. He owes his death to his custom of granting audiences to and receiving petitions from all classes. Tlie Grand Duchess Elizabeth, widow of the Grand Duke Sergius, attended the first requiem for Count Shuvaioff. St. Petersburg, Russia.—The assass­ ination of Count Shuvaioff at Mosco- is considered a purely political crimi, as the Count, who was less than forty years old, was regarded as being of the best type of Russian official. He came from one of the most famous families in Russia. He was a son of Count Peter Shuvaioff, the statesman who represented Russia at the Berlin Con­ ference, was formerly Colonel of the I Guard Regiment known as the St. Pe­ tersburg. and was one of Emperor Nicholas’ personal friends. As Prefect of Odessa, where he suc­ ceeded General Zelenoi, who was 'ex­ tremely severe, CouutShuvaloff earned the esteem of all by his firm but len­ ient conrse, making himself particu­ larly popular with the students. The impression exists here that the Count was killed for preserving order. The situation throughout the Cauca­ sus continues critical. The people are in a great state of agitation. The streets and squares of Tiflis are occupied by troops, but the city has been quiet since the proclamation of martial law. Several persons have been arrested at TitIis in whose lodgings wholesale quantities of bombs were found. Bombs have also been found in the quarters of an employe at the arsenal at Tifiis. Business at Batiim has been at a standstill. The shops and banks, with the exception of the Imperial Bank, have been closed. A general strike has been declared at Minsk. In a fight betweeu Cossacks and rioters there many persons were wounded. Warsaw, Poland.—Three bloody en­ counters between troops and striking shoemakers, in which about twenty persons were killed or wounded, oc­ curred. The strikers were marching through the city from house to house, demand­ ing the lowering of rents by twenty per cent. Many proprietors out of fear complied with the demands of the strikers. At Byelostok Cossacks dispersed crowds in the streets. Some shots were fired. Fear of AnotIier Mntlny. Kustenji, Ronmania. — The Russian squadron has been delayed here, owing to the fear that another mutiny was feared should the vessels put to sea. The fact that fifty-five sailors from the Kniaz Potemkine who surrendered have been imprisoned on board differ­ ent vessels of the squadron awaiting trial for rebellion has caused intense indignation among the crews, and as a consequence there were fears of an­ other mutiny. St. Petersburg.—TheGovernment will commence regular proceedings for the extradition of the crew of the Kniaz Potemkine as ordinary criminals. In the diplomatic exchanges on the subject the Russian Foreign Office pointed out that Roumania’s promise to give the mutineers an asylum was made before Ronmania had been ap­ prised of the other crimes committed by the Russian sailors. Besides, the Foreign Office reminded Ronmania that, according to the Roumanian law, deserters are extraditable. To Reduce Labor Hours.

One of the most remarkable dis* cciveries ever made in the region is flat of a Inke of liquid soda in the in- accessible rwsort between Crostones Co!., and Hooper, in the San LuL T3Iey. The lake is an acre and a Quar ter in extern and lies at the bottom of a little basin valley in the desert Oa its .surface soda crystals have collected to a depth of eighteen inches tte whole lake liaving the appearance of a body cf ice with a hard snox? covering.

Mob Composed of Men Under Indict­ ment For Operating Blind Tigers Attacked Room at Hotel Occupied By Solicitor Ward—Also Attack Mayor’s House With Rifles and Pis­ tols—No One Hurt—Several Arrests Made. Elizabeth City, Special.—Meagre de­ tails of an assault committed at Col­ umbia, the county seat of Tvrrel coun­ ty, when a crowd of Illicit whiskey distillers, operating blind Ugers in that section, made an attack on a room in the hotel occupied by. Solicitor Ward and Wiiliam Bond, reached here, the news being brought by a party which has just arrived at Edenton from Co­ lumbia. They state that the mob also attacked the residence of Mayor Woodley about 2 o’clock, rifles and pistols being used in both instances. A number of window light were brok­ en out, but fortunately, no one was injured. It is commonly reported that the attack was made by some whiskey men who were bent on wreaking ven­ geance for something they claimed Solicitor Ward and Mayor WWoodley had done against them. It is very probable that the crowd was composed of some men recently run down and prosecuted by the solicitor, for operat­ ing blind tigers, and who are now out on bond. Seven or eight of them, some white men and some negroes, have been arrested, but It is impossible to obtain their names at this time. Rogers and Sorrell Convicted, Raleigh, Special.—In the Superior Court Thursday ex-Sheriff Eowan Rog­ ers and J. P. Sorrell were arraigned on the charge of embracery. Two bills had been sent In to the grand jury, one of which was returned yesterday and another, a more complete one, this morning. Both defendants plead­ ed not guilty. It has been expected that there would be a fight in the embracery case against Rogers and Sorrell, but really no defense was made. After the men had pleaded not guilty, the jury was empannelled and then the State introduced its evidence, among the witnesses being Marcom and King, who were on the jury in the Gattis- ICilgo case. Some other witnesses were examined, and then counsel for Rogers and Sorrell told the judge they had no objection to his instruct­ ing the jury to return a verdict of guilty. The jury was then charged by the judge that, if it believed the evidence it had nothing to do but to return a verdict of guilty, and this the jury did, after having retired for a few minutes. The cases against the two men were taken separately. The judge suspended sentence for the Ume being at the request of coun­ sel for the defendant, who said they desired to be heard upon a motion. This will probably be a motion in ar­ rest of judgment. Judge Alien called in the grand jury and said it had is­ sued subpoenas for all the grand ju­ rors except Marcom and King, who had already been summoned, Judge Allen, in response to pleas for mercy for Rogers and Sorrell, im­ posed a sentence of six months in jail. Their attorneys made a fresh appeal for reduction of their sentence, and the judge said he would take this un­ der advisement North State News. The State charters the Swannanoa Chemical Company, *of Marion, capital stock $10,000, to make all sorts of fruit extracts; the charter grants a remarkably wide variety of other powers.

Tarboro, Special.—The question of a market house, so long agitated, seems now practically settled and its establishment is assured.

Insist on Higher Prices. Fall River, Mass., Special--Sales in the print , cloth market for the week are estimated at 125,000 pieces. The general tone of the finished goods market- continues firm. Prices have advanced to a basis of. 3 3-16 cents for regulars, and manufacturers are still refusing to trade at those figures on account of the relatives positions of cotton and cloth.. It is claimed that a basis of 3 1-4 must be had . if the mills are to get. out even at presentprices being'asked for cotton. For the Week Ending Monday, July 10th, 1905. Over the larger portion of the State the weather during the past week was very favorable for agricultural inter­ ests. Alternate sunshine and showers prevailed, and the precipitation was generally well distributed, relieving the droughty conditions' that existed' in most central counties at the close of the preceding week. There were a few severe local storms in Wayne, Alamance, Davidson and Rockingham counties, and too much rain in a num­ ber of other counties, chiefly those west of the Bltte Ridge, where farm work was interrupted, and soil and crops were washed by heavy rains. But the large majority of reports by crop correspondents are exceptionally favorable, and indicate a promising outlook for crops generally. The mean temperature for the week aver­ aged about 80 degrees (72 degrees In the mountains) which was nearly 4 degrees above normal; early in the week high maximum temperatures oc­ curred, the 4th being the warmest day, but cooler weather prevailed during the middle and latter portion, though the nights were not cool enough to check the growth of crops. Nearly ev­ erywhere the soil has been thoroughly moistened, crops have been invigor­ ated and are growing rapidly. Laying by crops and sowing field peas was interrupted In the west, but elsewhere farm work was not materially hinder­ ed. Generally cotton is thrifty and is branching well; it shows exceptionally heavy bloom for the season of the year; lice have nearly disappeared; there was too m uch'rain for cotton in some eastern counties, namely, Northampton, Duplin, Wayne, Halifax and Edgecombe, causing somewhat rank growth, in some others the plants are still small and late, but on the average cotton is now in fine condition. Com is not so good, but has improved during the week; old com seems to be earing well; the plants are large and vigorous in the west in conse­ quence of abundant rain; young com is growing rapidly, but much of the lowland crop in places was injured by too much water .Tobacco is somewhat variable in size, but as a rule is grow­ ing nicely; topping continues in the north; the crop is ripening rapidly In places, but cutting and curing are not yet general, though under way in most eastern and southern coun­ ties; some tobacco on sandy land is suffering from excessive moisture. Cutting oats and rye is proceeding in the extreme west; oats is good; thrashing wheat continues, with poor yield, but some say wheat is grading fairly well; some oats and rye in shock too long in the west were dam­ aged by frequent rains. Sowing field peas in stubble land was actively car­ ried on this week, and they are com­ ing up well. Sweet potatoes and pea­ nuts have improved. Melons'are com­ ing into market. Grapes are suffering some from blight; peaches of good quality are abundant, but apples are inferior. Rains reported: Nashville 2.43; Dav­ is 0.75; Goldsboro 5.32; Lumberton 1.98; Newbem 2.86 ; Weldon 0.78; Wilmington 2.40; Moncure 1.43 ; Po­mona 2.00; Angier 2.60; Ramseur 1.63; Greensboro .4.04; Raleigh 1.30; Char­ lotte 1.30; Asheville 4.00. New Hospital Building. Raleigh, SpeciaL-W ork begins next week on the $40,000 building for fe­ males at the Hospital for the Insane here. - Large quantities of material are arriving. As has been stated, the building will extend towards the west­ ward from the present main building will extend towards the westward from and will be of identically the same material and same style of archtecture. The hospital is one of the most thoroughly built stractures in North Carolina, though it was erected about fifty-five years ago. It is a very imposing building and Miss Dix, who chose the site, se­ lected what is easily the most beauti­ ful location anywhere in the vicinity of Raleigh. North State News.

' His help­ ers have been so busy this year that nothing has been done, but a little lat­ er the work will be resumed, and it is expected that more good results will follow. Secretary Wilson Firm. Washin gtdfi,' Special.—That Secre­ tary Wilson intends to take no step backward in the report on the cotton leak investigation was evidenced Mon­ day by his statement that he was not afraid of any libel suit which might be filed against him by Mr. Price or others mentioned in the report. In fact, he said, he would welcome such action, because it might be the means of developing some facts not already uncovered, and which it was desirable to know. Shot From His Bicycle. Newhern, Special.—After a quarrel over the possession of a base ball mitt, Walter Griee shot Sam Bryant, inflicting probably fatal - injuries. Bryant was riding a bicycle, and Grice stepped from behind a tree and fired three shots. One bullet entered the abdomen and lodged in the back. It is believed the other two bullets went wild. The affair occurred at 8.30 this morning. Gnce escaped and ! ,cannot be found. A WOMANtS MlSERt.' . Mrs. John LaRue, of 115 Paterson Avenue, Paterson, N.

A terrible sore and humor broke out on hh body, looking like raw flesh, and causing the child untold agony. My physician pre­ scribed various remedies, none of which helped at all. I became discouraged and took the matter into my own hands, and tried Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment with almost immediate success.

Among the many remarkable acts of the Maine Legislature, recently ad­ journed, was the passage of a law es­ tablishing a lien on gravestones, by which the marble worker may, within two years from the erection of the stone, take possession of the memo­ rial in satisfaction of any sum that may at that time remain unpaid. When the law was under consideration in the legislature it attracted very little attention, but now that it has' been passed there has arisen a great storm of protest. The law is denounced as ‘ghoulish,” and the legislature and tombstone makers are being roundly abused for their utter lack of decency m thus opening a legal way to the in­ vasion cf the sacred of the dead. But it is the law and Maine people who wish to rest easy in their graves must now make sure before death that the tombstone maker will be paid in full.

The Murderer of Robert Rivenbark Hanged at Kenansville—He Pro­ tested His Innocence to the Last. Kenannvilie1 Special.—Dan Teachy was executed here Thursday morning in the presence of about thirty per­ sons, includiilg, officers, guards, wit­ nesses, phifSietanS, miliifltcrs Of the gospel and newspaper men, for the murder of Robert Rivenbarlc. At 9:30 the death warrant was read to him, to which he listened unmoved, although his sister, who sat by his side, was greatly agitated. He was then baptized and received into the Presbyterian church by the pastor and session of the Kenansville church. Prayers were offered by request by Rev. V. A. Royal, a Methodist -minister, and Postmaster Jones. - - Governor Glenn was intercepted by telephone at Warsaw on his way to Wriglitsville, but refused to interfere. The prisoner was apprised of the fact and was earnestly requested to make a statemeut. The only thing he would say was: “I am not guilty, but was convicted bccause people swore lies on me.” bto Ry o f t h e c r im e . On the night Gf Wednesday, March 4. 1903, near the village of Wallace, Robert Rivenbarl; left the home Oi his father about 8:30 o’clock and went to the home of one Easter Williams, col­ ored, about one mile away, to secure her services as a laborer on his straw­ berry farm the next day. At this house were two negro women, one negro man and child. The evidence is that Ri- venbark made a contract with the two women aiid the nl&fi to come to his place to work for him the following flay, and started away in search of other hands. As soon as the door was closed and he had proceeded eight or ten steps from the house and there was no light visible except the moon, which was shining brightly, the ne­ groes heard the quick, sharp report of a pistol, and almost immediately Ri- venharlt pushed the door open and fell inside the room saying he was shot. He was followed almost immediately by Teachey, who sprang upon him and beat and kicked him unmercifully. When he had finished with Rivenbark he turned to the negro woman. Easter Williams, and began Beating her over the head with the pistol, which was still smoking in his right hand, and a stick in his left. While this was going on Rivenbark, having to some extent regained consciousness, got out of the door and started home. He proceeded about 150 yards down the road, when he fell exhausted, and began calling at the top of his voice for help. He was heard by Mr. Jim Dixon, a farmer hear there,.who came to his relief. He told Dixon that he had been shot by Dan Teachey without cause, and knowing he could live but a very short time, he wished to make a statement concerning the affair to some one while he was still in his right mind. Dixon then called Mr. Harvey Booth, who came to the road, apd together with him heard the story of the killing from the lips of Rivenbark, who said that when he left the bouse he -net Dan Teachey, who said: “B y , what are you do­ ing here?” Rivenbark replied: “I am here to get these people to help me work my strawberries.” Teachey then said: “G d you, they can get their living without work and I am going to kill you,” and fired, with the result above mentioned. The ball took effect in the right side of the abdomen, caus­ ing, death two days later, about 6:00 o’clock Friday afternoon, March 6th. The case was hard fought through all. the courts, but his conviction was at last secured, followed by his execu­ tion. - Tar Heel Topics.

North State News. tiiSufancS CotoinissiOnef Young is issuing a warning against the ihterna- tional Registry Company, of New York, saying that some time ago he gave warning against it, and now finds that it is trying to do an underground business, and is now endeavoring to issue policies of the United Casualty and Surety Company, of St. Louis, though the-latter has not been doing business since January I, 1904. The method of the,International Company seems to be to flood North Carolina with otters to agents, proposing to pay them heavy eomfflissions for securing business. It seems that a good ihany men are inclined to jump at the offer the company makes. Not only will they be swindled if they take this course, but they will also be prose­ cuted by the commissioner for unlaw­ fully doing business for a blacklisted company.

The joint committee is instructed to prepare and recommend to the next Legislature, Which meets in.

We should not destroy the edifice to rid our­ selves ot the vermin that infest it, nor should wo kill the patient to stop the progress of the disease. A revision of our insurance law is necessary, but it sbould be fllade .with calmness, delib­ eration and inteliigeiice and after care­ ful investigation.” It is admitted the task put upon the Special committee is one of great mag­ nitude. Iiding business in New York State at this time art} forty-two old- line or level premium life insurance companies. Fifteen work under KeW York charters. It is intimated the COhimittee scarcely will attempt to in­ vestigate inore than these New Yorlc companies, which inciiide the Equit­able, the Mutual Life and the New Srerh Life. Six of these fifteen home companies within a few months have been criticised foi' Iheir methods of doing business. The gross assets of these fifteen com­ panies are §1,480,485,106.34; liabilities, fl,25«,897,1770.22: surplus and special funds, $128,723,002.11: income in 1904, ¥344,405,284.04. It is asserted that even to investigate thoroughly the fifteen home companies, to say nothing of lliase chartered outside the State, would i'eqtiire mote time than inter­ venes between IiOiV and the next ses- sibn of the Legislrttitfi'. Several months would be required for a sillgle big company like the Equitable. Tlie preamble of the Armstrong reso­ lution declared that the Equitable situ­ ation bad disclosed that the present in­ surance laws were inadequate to safe­ guard the policy holders, and that a re­ vision of the insurauee laws should be undertaken. It was asserted that the inquisitorial powers of the Superinten­ dent of Insurance were limited, and that a legislative investigation was needed to gnide the Legislature in for­ mulating new legislation. The resolu­ tion propei* provided: “That a joint committee be appoint­ed, which, after the adjournment of the extraordinary session, shall pro­ ceed to examine into the affairs of life insurance compauies with reference to* investments, the relations of officers to such investments, the relations of com­ panies to subsidiary corporations, the government and control, the contractu­ al relations of said companies to tlieir policy holders, the cost of life insur­ ance, the expenses of companies and any other phases of the life insuiiance business deemed by the committee to be proper^ for the purpose of drafting and reporting to the next session of the Legislature revision of the laws.” The only debate npon the resolution was upon the amount of the appropria­ tion. The original amount was $25,- D00. Tlie Finance Committee increased it to $50,000. GOWNS FOU JERSEY BENCH All the Judges to Follow Example of Court of Errors.

The strength of Vladivostok is tttr- known outside the fortress-, except by the authorities iil St. Petersburg. It 'Vas Feceiltly stated that General Line- Vitcli had a number of twelve-inch and hine-inch guus. A British military critic l’emarked that these were about as suitahle an ornament for an army in the field as a cnmeleopard in a lady’s boudoir, but Whether suitable or not, there is little doubt that the guns earne from Vladivostok, and it has been suggested that the CSSar is not desirous of making the Japanese “another pres­ ent at a bouquet of 528 guns, as at Port Arthur.” General Ohreshchatitzki commands troops iu the Ussuri region,, with Major General Rutkovskl as Chief of Staff, LieiiteuailtGencral Kasbelt commands at Vladivostok and his troops inclnde seven battalions of fortress artillery and three companies of sappers and uiiueis. Japanese No Angels. London, England. — Baron Hayashi, the Japanese Minister here, said that ltnssifl had appointed good men as peace plenipotentiaries, Nevertheless, even M. Witte and Baron Rosen had not inspired Japan with confidence in a favorable outcome of the negotia­tions. ''We do not know,” the Minister added, “what powers have been dele­ gated to them, aud after the events of the past eighteen months Japan puts faith only in accomplished facts. The terms will be communicated only at the conference. Then we .will discover what powers the Russian plenipoten­ tiaries possess.” It was suggested that the general opinion prevailed that the Japanese terms would be moderate. “I cannot see where people get such an idea,” replied the Minister. “The public eridently mistakes tie Japanese for angels.” Minister Hayasbl intimated that Japan was ready to continue the war unless she secured suitable terms. He called attention to the fact thai prac­ tically the entire sum realized by the last two loans was unexpended, and said the capture of the Island of Sak­ halin was not precipitated by the ap­ proach of the conference, but was a natural sequence of the Japanese cam­ paign, the plans for which had not been altered since Russia acceded to a conference. 1An earlier attack on the island was not undertaken principally because of the severe winter and be­ cause the summer season was more preferable for campaigning and the es­ tablishment of a new government in the islaud.

Every shoe Shop had from five to ten shoemakers working. Shoes and boots cost from $8 to $15, and they received much more repair­ ing than do the shoes of to-day. Now girls are working In the factories and hundreds of good shoemakers are look­ ing for something to eat. Over half of the shoemakers who formerly worked in the shops are working at Other lines of business, and making more money. A journeyman cobbler seldom makes more than $8 or $9 per week. One may wonder why it is that the cobbler nearly always finds a mean, dirty hole to crawl into and to call It a repair shop. The fact is, he can­ not afford to pay much rent. In the average shoe shop in the good seasons —spring and summer—he can do $4 worth of repairing a day, and not more than $6 if he works In the night time. Four dollars per day and six days a week make $24 per week. DISFIGURING ULCER P eople Xiooked a t H er In Amazement** Pronounced Incurable—F ace N ow Clear? as Ever—T hanks God For Cotlcnra* Mrs. P.

Ellis, of Farmington, has been appointed member of the county board of education to fill the vacancy caused by the failure of J. H. Hendricks to qualify. Our people need not. be surprised if they hear of oil being struck in or near Moeksville. When “Oily” bodies begin to move around there is a chance for striking “ile.” Lizzie Holman, (col.)

Who k nows but it’s best in the end. Life is short, and trials, disappointments, and sor­ rows often fill the greater space of our earthly existence.

The ma­ terial and form has been gotton up at home and improvetjby practical exercise, so that it is'likely to be the most interesting and impressive service of the kind ever presented in the county. Rev. Hiller is to deliver the missionary sermon. Politics would be rather quiet in this section if the Dems. did not try to shoot a big gun now and then. I see they have just fired a load of inconsistency at the Republicans; but their guns seem to be so much unbalanced that the rebouading ac­ tion does them more harm than the discharge does their opponents, Lock at this: We are very fhnch gratified to know that the Demo­ crats have learned from the Repub­ licans that “consistency is a jewel,” but real sorry that they did not know that when they were in Na­ tional power, and they do not now practice it in this State. If a man knows his duty, and does it not, he should be beaten with many stripes. It would have been better for them if they had not referred to the Re­ publican jewel of honesty, because they make their last state worse than the first. Ignoiance is some­ times excusable, bnt now theyhave .no grounds of excuse whatever, Poor fellows; hope they wiil not make us think they do things thro’ actual meanness. O b s e r v e r .
