F. M. Simmons to de latetnal revenue collector ef the eastern dis- trict of North Carolina. Mr Sim- mons is a man of talent, bigh char- acter, and of unimpeachable De- mocracy. He was chairman of the Democratic executive committee of the State in the campaign of 1892; and it is not too much to say that we could not have won the victory with- out him. He is one ofthe most pop- ular men in the State, and kis de- feat would anger almost every Dem- ocrat in the State. His only offense is serving his party honorably, with wroat ability and signal success. Kor this Republicans in and out of the Senate wish to punish him. 1 hope you will prevent them. Yours very truly. R. F. ARMFIELD” * * * In 1893 Chairman Simmons was appointed Collector of the Raleigh Gisiviet. He was endorsed for ap- ointment by Senuturs Vance and Rensem and by the entire North Coroitna Atrer his appointment and before Gelegatien in Congress. his conlirmation Senators Vance and Ransom disagreed as to the ap- pointment of # collector of the Wes- tern district. Senator Vance want- ed Hezekiah A. Gudger appointed and Senator Ransom pushed Kope Elias, who was appointed. This disagreement resulted in bitter feel- ing between the two North Carolina Senators and it continued as long as Senator Vance lived. When Jfr. Simmon’s conlirmation came up in the Senate Senator Vance opposed contirmation. When Mr. Simmons went tosee him about it, Senator Vance told ,him that he would cease his opposition if Senator Ran- som would cease interfering with Western North Carolina appoint- ments. Senator Vance’s opposition to Simmons was on account of Ran- som’s interference with the West- ern appointments. This was under- stoodat the time throughout the State. Recently Mr. Charles N. Vance has sought to give a different reason for his father’s opposition to Simmons, but the matter is too fresh in the minds of too many North Carolinians for his effort to succeed. But, in all seriousness, what matters it to the people of North Carolina in 1900 what Sena- stor Vance thought of Mr. Simmons { in 18942 Osrdead Semator was our greatest man and North Carolina gave him whatever he wanted whiie he lived and now that he is dead honors his memory as she does that of noother son. But our great Sen- ator was human and he was some- times mistaken in his estimate of men. He was mistaken in Hezekiah Gudyer, whom he wished appointed collector, for in less than four years after Senator Vance made his great fight to have him appointed, Gudger accepied an office from the Republi- can administration and ever since then, whenever he is at home. yoes about over the State abusing the party which honored Vance and which he was proud to lead. If Vance in 1893 could have seen the radical Gudger of 1896, 1898 and 1900 and heard his tirades against the Democratic party, he wouid never have asked for his appoint- ment as a Democrat. V ance was mis- taken in Gudver. Could he not have been mistaken in Simmons? The record of our great State Chairman, public and private, shows-that Sena- tor Vance was mistaken in him.

Kirby was drivking and Murrill was trying to get him home when, in a drunken frenzy, he cut Murrill on both arms, severing an artery ia one. The wounded man bled to death ina short while. He was be- yond hope when the surgeons got to him. The dead man leaves a wife and one child. Kirby was unmarried. Both were men of excellent families and the travedy is greatly deplored in thiscommunity. Kirby isin jail and will be tried at the February term of court.

The picker shaft was making 1,000 revoluticns a minute, and the arm, toa point a few inches above the elbow, was crushed to a pulp and barely bung to his body.

Rene emcee Burglars Tecroviz2 Fayettorille Fayetteville Observer. Jobn Council, the burglar who ter- rorized this community for two months, comuitting balfa dozen bur- glaries (live of which be confessed) and numberless robberies, was terday allowed to plead guilty to burglary in the second deyvree, and was sentenced to the State prisou for a term of twenty-five years. For twomonths, night after night, he entered the homes of many of our prominent citizens, where there were no male protectors, in severa! cases entering the bedrooms, and carried off numerous articles, many of which were found at his home or at the home of his paramour, Queen lvy. The case batiled the police, des- pite the fact that a great number cf special police were appointed to patrol the different residence section of the city. He was only caught when ina hurried departure from the residence of Thomas Brozdfoot, Moore street, which he had just rob bed, he left his hat and a butcher knife. These were at once identified by Chief of Police Flowers as the property of Council, and led to his undoing. Queen Ivy, charged with receiving stolen goods, by Council has not yet been sentenced. VoOs- Holton’s Blunder. Raleigh Post. Mr. A.J. Price, of Salisbury,elec- tor on the McKinley ticket, is indi g- nant at the conduct of District At- torney Holton in using the grand juries of the Federai Court as politi- cal machines. At Statesville an at- tempt was made to haye Colonel Baldy Boyden, Mr. T. H. Vander- fordard Mr. J. M. Julian indicted for“‘intimidating negroes the-day be- fore the election.’’ When Mr. Price heard of thishe condemned it, and said: “I was around a ggod deal in Salisbury on the day of election and the day before, and if there was any @Miimidatien§ knsw fcething of it. lt w deo great political under and a wrong to indict these gentle- men,”’ Mr, Price is right, both as to the wrong and the blunder. Were we only considering politics, we would rejoice in such abuse of power and devradation of official position on the part of our political enemies. But we take no stock in such -meth- cus even though they redound to the advantage of our party. They vio- late decency, bring the courts into contempt and encourage just such conduct as they would appzrently condemn. The people of the State will resent the attempt of the district attorney as he and his party will discover on the day of election. _> Coliege Men Should Vote For Bryan. New Haven, Conn , Dispatch. Dr. George T. Ladd Ciark, pro- fessor of mora! philosopby and met- aphysics in Yale, has written an ar- ticle for the Harvard Democrat en- titled “‘Why WHarvard Students Should Vote for Bryan.’’ He says: “There are at present four great national issues before the people, on three of which the Admivistration bas, in my judzment, been avowedly nd consistently wrong; only in the fourth has its positions an& influ ence been right, and this in a_half- hearted and vacillating way. These four issues are, first, imperialism; second, taxation and class legisla- tion; third, civil service, and fourth, the currency. “The first and by far the most momentous in respect of the changes which it is likely to work in the en- tire Constitution of the Republic, is imperialism. The Administration has launched the nation upon a poli- cy of joining in the contest of Eu- ropean governments for commercial supremacy in the Orient, backing up its conduct by the armed forces of the nation. We have no need for these distant lands in the interest of our internal developments and no close vital connections with them. “The second great danger to our republican institutions is the use of the legal arm of the goverment for the furtherance at home of the in- terests of the favored classes. The Chief Magistrate of the present ad- ministration is the greatest living representative of this dangerous policy. He hasbeen for years the willing and consistent instrument for securing legislation in the inter- ests of favored classes.” acta kittie me “After snffering from severe dys- popsia over twelve years and using many remedies without permanent good finaliy took.

The school issituated in famous Hano-| ver, Va..on a farm which C. P. Huntington purchased and gave to the sct.ool, which is named Hunting farm. Considerable disappoiutment is felt that no provision was made for the schoolin Mr. Huntington's will. A gond deal. of interest is felt throughout the country in this Movementon account of the man whois st the bead of it. John H. Smyth, the president, was a few years azo United States minister to Liberia. and ia that capacity xut- tracted considerable attention. He isa full blooded negro and boasts that net a drop ef white blood cir- culates in his veins. Heis an edu- cated main, a college gracrate and as such his opinion on the subject of the nezro vete becomes interesting, With Booker Washington be be- lieves the negro should be trained to usefulness in this country. The Li- beria question which comes up row and then dees not in the least appeal to him nor does disfranchisement from the white man’s point of view. He clzims that asa negzo he sees in the tuking away of the vote from the black man the surest his development, and says ie is willing to lose his own vote for the good be hopes will come to his pev- ple. Smyth has studied the problem from ail sides and the «: clusion }~ bas reached is that ‘ce negroes tnust fit themselves people for the privileges ef citi ship the wen.e of which is the te Itisn’t eneugh for individuais and there to be titted. He believes there is so way in which they will de led te do this so quickly ued so surely as to deprive them of their vote. Radiex! as this view may seem, it will be scean from the following, quoted from a letter received in Minneapulis recently, that Yr Smyth ix. on the whole, conse tive in his ideas: Hesays: “Tam ofthe opinion that every man, woman and chiid shox be taughi the rudiments of a secu: educatio:, and some useful employ ment, thu: unless the teaching~ of Christianity are carried on in nection with the secular education, Christian character will not be form- ed producing worthy man and wo- manhood znd patriotic citizenship.” “he work done on the farm under Mr. Smyth's direction is analogous to that dune at Tuskegee, although onasmalier scale and with a less promising set of students. Ts makes appeal for aid-inthe worthy work that is being done, saying: “It seems that the plain duty of the Christian white people is not to shut up their bowels of compassion against the need of a people which has been their faithful servitors for centuries." means of Mr & ai The Looting in Pekin, Frederick Palsner in Collier's Loot!

Stunons, of Wake *INALLY, BRETHREN. “he great contest ponents is now near its elose. vear 1900 will be because of the tremendous political cvutlict that has stirred the people from Maine to California. On one siue areinassed the supporters of good government, the people who sustain the constitution, the oppo- nonts of the trusts, the opponents oO: imperialism, the opponents of nilitarism:on the othér side are those who apologize for truth, who sympathize with those large capi- tulists who band themse'ves together inthe unholy purpose to control trade, who advocate holding in sub- jection millions of people in distant countries as our subjects, and who approve of an enormous army as the only means to conquer those fereiga people and subjugate them. One party led by Bryan repre- scouts the corstitution of onr coun- toy, tho enteric of baste, and athe #..'e principles of free government. The other party under McKinley is dominated by those influences that lead to conquest, to tyranny, to im- perialism, to un expensive povern- ment, to the establishment of trusts and the destruction of individual rivhts. The fall eiections show that the pcople at the North are dissatisfied with the Republican party,and with its objects and purposes. If the changes, proved by the elections in Maine and Vermont, extend to the other States, Bryan will be elected by a tidal wave; but we can- not rely on that. We must give bim the electoral vote of North Car- olina. His hope of success depends on our vote. And, while the people of the North are aroused, our people & pear to be very quiet. It is fear- eu that many Bryan men, believing that the State is safe for him, will remain at home on election day. If many Bryan men stay away from the polls, Bryan will lose the State, aod McKinley will carry North Car- olina We appeal, therefore, to every iSryan man to do his utmost towards averting that danger. We appeal to every Bryan man to go to the p ils on election day, and not only t> vo himself, but to see that every o.uer Bryan man in his neighbor- hood goes to the election and votes, Victory is within our reach; let us not lose itby neglect. Let us de- wote one day to getting out 2 full voce, to securing every vote we can for Bryan and good government. Then if weare defeated we cannot biame ourselves.

The. violent abuseof him by Republicans and Populists, the vain ettempts -of the friends ofhia opponent to belittle him and to assail his character, the attacks which his opponent and his supporters have made upon the Democratic organization and the unprovoked attacks made upon some of Mr. Stmmons’ ind{vidual supporters have not lessened our zeal for our great State chairman. Every friend of P. M. Simmons shouldbe at tee polls bright and eeviy noxt Tupdsy morning and should putin the day working for Bryan and Stevenson, Klettz and Simmons. SR age A Newbern correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says that cer- tain Republieans and negroes there want to vote for Chairman Simmons for Senator. Of course the negroes can’t vote for him, for voting im the primary ig limited to white men. The papers opposed to Chairman Simmons are trying to make a great deal out of this statement. They try to offset the fact that Republi- cans and Populists everywhere else in the State are working for Carr by saying the Republicans and ne- wroes of Newbern are for Simmons. Newbern was until a very few years avo Mr. Simmons’ home. He lived and practiced law there for mavy years and itis no discredit te him that his old neighbors, white and colored, want to see him elected Senator. But, from this isolated case the attempt is made to show that Republicang and Populists fa- vor Simmons. The peopleof Iredell county know that this is not true. The Republicans and Populists hate Simmons as they do no other Demo- crat in the State. This is known of all men. ——----——- a All men who know anything about tthe Senatorlat contest know that Chairman Simmons will be elected. Tke claims ef General Carr’s mana- ger, Senator Poushee, and others of his supporters that Carr wil! be elected are mere bluffs. Money at odds has been offered all over North Carolina that Simmons will win, with no takers. Our townsman,Mr. R. V. Brawley, offered a bet in the Charlotte Observer, which we pub- lish elsewhere, and until this morn- ing he has found no Carr man in the State willing to risk his money. Late advices from Raleigh indicate Mr. Simmons’ election by a very large majority. Gen. Carr will car- ry only one Congressional district in the StateZand less than 20 coun- ties. An effort is baling made to blacken Chairman Simmons’ persona] char- aod oy invade mud tnsiatalions. | anyone, but some of his opponents say that some other man said there were charges, etc. The !statements of ex-Governor Jarvis, Governor- elect Aycock, Hon. Cyrus B. Wat- State, which we publish elsewhere, should set this matter at rest. They say there never were any charges against Simmons, are none now and can be none, for he is one of the State’s most upright sons and most devoted Democrats, This attempt has utterly failed and has made votes for Simmons. —_——eD> a ee ‘Lhe Carr campaign must be in a bad way. In Monday’s Charlotte Observer the statement was made by a correspondent that ex-Senator Ransom, ex-Governor Jarvis, Col. Waddell and Hon, Cyrus B. Watson were all for Carr for Senator. Each of these gentlemen has promptly denied the report. It is known that ex Governor Jarvis and Col. Wad- dell are for Chairman Simmons, and Mr. Watson comas out in an open letter for him, which we publish to- day. The cause which depends up- on misrepresentation of the posi- tions of other men is {na bad way. oe During the past week the indica- tions have brightened for Bryan. The New York Journal, the largest paper in the country, says his elec- tion is an absolute certainty—that he will be elected without New York and that ho will carry New York. We believe our next issue will tell eur readers about the “great Bryan landslide’”’ whieh struck the country on November 6tk., 1900. ne Gen.

Jarvis, Greenville, N. C.i BDear Sir—[ havefbeen or aspeaking acquaintanée with Mr. Simmons, and, knowing the fact that he lives in your seetion of the State and that you are probably well acquainted with him, I write to ask you to give me your estimate of him as a man, and of his qualifications for the po- sition of Senator. I also wish toin- quire if you have any knowledge of the grounds upon which Senator Vance opposed Mr. Simmons’ con firmation by the Senate. Jf you have the time would be yreatly obliged to you for an answer to these inquiries, Yours very truly, J. W. Hunsucwer October 29, 1900. §. W. Hunsuoker, Esq , Salisbury, ate “s Dear Sir—I am justin receipt of yours of the 26th inst., making cer- tain inquiries of me in reference to the Hon. F. M. Simmons; and I re- ply at once, as follows: When I withdrew fromthe sena- panko wo part whatever in the &zhs datweon the comaining vamiidates, avd J have steadfastly adhered to that resolution. J have not, bow- ever, hesitated to rebuke all persons who have made any assault in my presence upon either of the gentle- men who are in the race to tke fin- ish; nor have! hesitated to answer any question that has been asked me as to the character and fitness of these gentlemen, and to assure those making the inquiry of the high char- acter and fitness of both. I there- fore take pleasure in answering in- quiries concerning Mr. Simmons. J have known Mr. Simmons _inti- mately for more than twenty years. T appointed him the State’s proxy in the Railroad Company when I was gov- ernor of the State. I canvassed the ernor Carr, when he was first chair- man of the State Committe. I was very closely connected with him in the great campaigns of 1898 and 1900, of the east, where he was born and raised, and Itake pleasure in saying I never heard aught against his pri- vate character. Idonot believe any man of any standing in all the east will, over his own name, say that he hasever heard aught against his character. I think I may say his character is unassailed and unassail- ble. *‘Now, a6 to the opposition of Sen- ator Vance to Mr. Simmors as collector, f let no man goahead of me in admiratton and love of North Carolina’s great statesman. I had the honor and privileget of being very elose to him in his life, and I think I am loyal to his great name and fame. I did not, however, always agree with him in allthings. In fact, Ihadthe mis- fortune todiiffer with him moretban once’ One of the things in which I differed with bim was his opposition to the confirmation of Mr. Simmons. I talked with him about it, and tried to dissuade him from it. He gave me fully, as I understand it, his rea- sons for his opposition, and in no single instance didhe ever assign a reason that reflected in the least up- on Mr. Simmons’ integrity or char- aczer. He thought that Mr.-Simmons had taken sides against himip some mat- ters ofappointments, and that led, as I then and now understood it, to his opposition to Mr. Simmons. I think those are the facts in the case. Mr: Simmons isa lawyer anda man ofability. He has given much of his time to the study of political questions. 1 do not no believe that those who come in close contact with hing wil} say that he is intellectually or @arally nit fo be Sanabs. icwe ¥. im Bfavor of thts ve it the fair way to select & Senator. I am therefore deeply grieved 3t the bitterness and personal attacks that have been en- gendered. Both Mr. Simmons and Nr. Carr are men of standiny and character in the State. Nogoodcan come of tearing either down. Both are my personaland political friends, andIam not takinz any part in their contest, but I appeal to the partisans of each to cease al! attacks upon the other. Tam truly yours. THOS. J. JARVIS. a Fatal Fire in New York. New York’s list of fire horrors was added to Monday by one of the most terrible and fatal in its history. From the press dispatches we glean the following: About noon fire broke out ia the large 7 story building of Tarrant & -Co., manufacturers of medicinal spe- cialties. The first fire engine had barely arrived when a terrific ex- plosion occurred throwiny the fire- men down the stairway and filling the street with debris. This was followed in tive minutes by a second explosion, even more -terrific, hurl- ing the firemen across the street, shattering the wails of the building and the commission store houses on Washington strect adjoininy, caus- ing them to collapse and filling the streets with debris. Flames from the Tarrant building caurbt the wreck and the whole street was aflame, The great explosion was followed by a half dozen of less force anda countless number of small ones. All the surrounding build- ings were more or less wrecked, some that were whole blocks away being injured. The loss of life would have been terrible but for the warn- ing after the first explosion and on account of heroie efforts of firemen and citizens. In the Tarrant build- iag 50 persons were employed and a restaurant across tke street, that is now s total wreck, was crowded when the fire broke out, but it is thought that most of these escaped. The death loss is estimated at 30, and the total number of killed and injured runs into the hundreds. Some estimates put the total at 450; the seriously injured number over 100. The loss of property is esti- mated to be betwoen $1,500,000 and $2,000,000. This is one of the greatest disas- ters in New York’s history, the loss of life equalling the Windsor Hotel fire and the loss of property being greater.

My name does not belong in the list of Nr. Carr’s supporters, not that I have serious objections to bim for Senator, but because I think it bet- ter for the Democratic party and for the State for Mr. Stmmons to be chosen, and as the esmpaign pro- gresses the more strongly am I con- vinced that the position bere taken {s right.

A period of great political activi: | v in North Carolina is nearing 1ts ose. The Democratic party has -appled with the far-reaching ques- .o of negro sutirage, and has solv- | dit. In local affairs, the people of | ‘North Carolina now enter an era of | hanged political conditions that | ll remove race antagonism and the | ashings of the races, and that will | nd to secure quiet, continual good | foeling, and prosperous industry in| «homes of all the people, This | -lorious result has been accomplish- | i mainly by the effective work of | he local champions of the good | cause. Ail honor andcredit are due! i» the press, the party workers, the public speakers and the local organ- rs. to the committeemen and the joeratic clubs. It was these who “rogueht to the polls that vast array voters, who, arranging themselves beneath the Democratic banner, se- cured the adoption of our reform by a majority of fifty thou- a } t I measure sand votes. Also of immense interest to the people is the triumph of Democracy in the National campaign. On No- -omber the 6th, the people ofall the States are to pass their judgment on the great Federal questions of the day. Manz of them are of mo- mentous importance, some relate to finance, some relate to industry and nearly effect every family in their smes: others relate to our Federal wernment. the capitulation of our suntry, and bear upon the perpetu- ion of the liberties and privileges | the citizen, which we have inher- ed from our fathers, and we are Ip duty bound to hand down ucitmpair- ed to our posterity. : ; On all these questions the Demo- cratic party stands by the people. our platform is clear, positive _and vithout duplicity. Its principies arethe teachings of Washington, Jefferson and the patriot fatbers. Our standard bearer, William J. Uryan, is known by all men for his ronest devotion to his political con- elctions, and his zeal and determina- on to carry them into operation, .d his spirit of self sacrifice, and nis large sympathies for struggling humanity. No leader has arisen ina hundred yoars who was :o stronyly inbred with sympathy for the manhood of ur country. It is the flesh and lood, the men and women of the land, the great masses of the people whose interest he strives. to pro reete, and whose rights he proposes » guard against the insidious en- coachments of men seeing their wn selfish agyrandizement, The clection of Bryan means the over- throw of the trusts, the death of those rings which, under McKinley's administration, have plunged our “overnment into courses fullof peril ro the future of our country. linmense was the effort made to defeat him four years ago, but the change of a few thousand votes ould have elected him, and would have prevented all the evils of Me- inley’s administration. 4nd now another great effort is being made against him. The trusts ard the ~inys diehard. They fight for life, ut the people are against them. ‘rhe people are rallying everywhere to the standard of Bryan, and De- mocracy never had a leader any- where with such immense crowds to hear him as Bryan has had in Indi- ana, Illinois, Ohio and New York. These outpourings of the people be- speak their sympathy. They mean victory for William Jennings Bryan: Hut what shall be the voice of North t arolina? The Republican leaders Lave been devising means to give ur electoral vote to McKinley. Shey think that our people are apa- thetic. They believe us over-confi- dent. They counton a lizht vote. ‘they expect that Bryan men wi'l not go to the polls, and hope to gaiu vue victory through our negligence. tnd there is danger in this emer- vency. I appeal to every Bryan man to come to the rescue. I appea! to eyery citizea who wants to see Bryan and Stevenson elected to be- stir himself. In particular I appeal te every working Democrat, who did such splendid work last summer, io aid once more in making a su- emeeffort. Iappeal to the Dem- eceatic press, the most potential po- tical power. Lappeal to the com- unitteemen, the party workers and tue clubs. None of these have ever jailed the party in the past. Last summer they covered themselves with glory. Today the party and the country call them once more to the post of duty, and commit to them the banner of Democracy, be- heving that they will again secur3 *ne victory. It is the call of patriot- ism, and I know that this appeal ‘ll not bein vain, but that every isryan man possible will be brough su the polls, and that every vote possible will be obtained for Bryan and for our Democratic Congress- men, and for the success of Demo- cratic principles. A full vote is indispensibly neces- ary. Every Bryan man must be gotten to the polls, and I now make my last appeal to every white man to do hisfull duty to the party. the State and his race. F. M.

After they had pro- ceededa short distance under noise and a commotion, and a part of the ledge which formed the path, disappeared, cutting Miss Marshall six feet in width, and leaving her but asmall stone in the swirling torrents to stand upon. “In the commotion Job had been forgotten, ed features, his sandy hair plastered over his forehead, his scanty dress clinging to his form like a skin, and his hand trembling on the poet’s shoulder as he steadied his steps. Without saying what he intended to do he crept down carefully to the edge of the foaming abyss till he stood up to his knees in the break- ing bubbles. It seemed impossible that he could reach the lovely creat- safely from the slippery rock into his arms. Willis covered his eyes in fear and wonder. The next mo- ment wken he opened them there lay at his feet the quivering and ex- hausted girl. Job was nearly seven feet high. Hehad flung himself over the gulf, caught the rock with his tingers and with certain death if he missed his hold, Miss Marshall had quickly walked over his body in its vridge-like posture. At this mo- ment the guide returned with a rope, fastened it around one of Job’s (vt and dragged him back through the whirlpool. When he recovered fcom his immersion he fell on_ his kneos in a prayer of thanks to God, in which the poet and the beauty devoutly joined him.” oo oe _ — A Woaan’s Economy. Baltimore Sun. She was the wife of an ofticial of a St. Paul street corporation. Her one pet hobby waseconomy. Though her husband made an excellent sala- ry, she was rigid in her rules per- taining to the buying of the neces- saries for the household. She would haunt bargain counters and market stalls for hours in order to get the benefit of a reduction of a few cents ou the article desired. The corporation official, with much laughter used to tease his better half about what he called her ‘“‘stin- giness."’ So one day, feeling hurt at his ridicule, she resolved to take him to market with her and demon- strate beyond a doubt that she was a most economical buyer. He con- sented, stipulating that he was not to be asked to carry the basket. Arriving at the market, she made several purchases and then at one stall inquired the price of eggs. ‘**What,’’ she exclaimed, ‘16 cents adozen? No, indeed, that is too high.”’ She dragged her reluctant hus- band after her from one stand to an- other, still inquiring the price of egys and always receiving the same answer until near the upper end of the market. Here she found a deal- er who offered to sell her eggs in any quantity for 15 cents. To her husband she said joyously: “There, I told you so. those others were robbers. ”’ Turning to the salesman, she or- dered half a dozen eges, gravely handed him theS cents asked in pay- ment and went home, prattling away about the worth of economy In marketing and the alleged will- ingness of dealers to gouge the un- Suspecting customer. And to this day she does not know that her hus- band and his friends laughed over it at the club. Why, Robbed the Grave. A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as foliows: ‘‘I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yel- low, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite—gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physi- cians had given meup. Fortunately a friend advised trying ‘Electric Bitters;’and to my great joy aud surprise, the first bottle made a de- cided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and roobed the graye of an- other victim.’’ No one should fail Fails. | Job Smith, attempted to vo under} the} sheet of water there wasa rumbling | off from her companions by an abyss | butinstantly a ray of hope shot into | Willis’ heart when he saw his rugy- | ure or that she could jump forward | and engaged the rebels on October }22nd.

One of the things said of Mr. Sim- mons, for the purpose of discredit- ing him in his candidacy for the United States Sewatorship, is that be is more of a politician than a statesman. Then his record as State chairman is puvinted toand while he is given credit for success three times wonin that position, accorling to their logicifthis.should not;imargued against him it should not count in his favor. The Windsor ledger thus pays its respects to this class: “Phe men whocarred this election. the men who wore red shirtx. the men who constructed the election law stringently, the men who held the polls, the men who planned the campaign, ali these Democrats, are peers of any man who comp!:ius and good enough io be given the best thatthe party which they put in power has to vive. “Ifthere is anything the people shun and suspect it is the political purist—too good to help carry the election but just good enouyh to get office after the election is carvied.”’ —_—_—_—_—- oe —- S Pope Leo XIL. Recommends His Successor, Some, Italy, Dispatch, Oct, 25. It is reported that Pope Leo, in his final testament, will recommend the election of the Spanish Carcinal, Vivyez Tuto, his successor. It is re- ported to have caused quite a sensa- tion in Vatican circles. It bas been seconded that the successcr}to the pope would be an Italian and half a dozen cardinals of that nationality are candidates for the place While the cardinals will themselves elect the pope by most secret ballois it is admitted that the recomme:dation by Pope Leo of any candidate would goalong ways towards securing his election. Cardinal Vivez Tuto is the newest and youngest member of the college of cardinals. Heis a ecar- dinal deacon and holds no special office. He was given the red hat in 1899 and is 46 year old, while all the others mentioned as possible suc- cessors to the papalcy are above 74. Sayed His Wife, Mr. C. E. Henderson. Podiville, Texas, writes us as follows: My wife had been troubled many years with constipation.

In closing his letter announcing his purpose to vote for Bryan, ex- Attorney-General Harmon, of Cin- cinati, said: “Under our system when a Presi- dent seeks re-election, the primary question always is whether we ap- prove or condemn what he has done, andespecially when he means to keep on doing it. In this instance} I wish to condemn, and have no means of doing so except by voting in the only way which can possibly be effective. “The attempt is made, as it al- ways is, to prevent condemnation for what the administration has done, by foretelling dreadful things that the opponents will do. But if there be such danver, wise men al- ways prefer arisk to a certainty, especially when, as now, the cer- tainty involves so much more than the risk, ”’ When the campaign opened it was generally accepted that the ex- pansion policy of the administration was the paramount issue. McKin- ley was re-nominated as the repre- sentative and embodiment, as it were, of that policy. Bryan was nominated as its avowed opponent But the supporters of McKinley soon discovered that their kind of expansion was not as popular as they thougbt it was and then they began to shuffle, dodye and bring other issues to the front. In the beginning they declared that the free silver question was shelved, but it didn’t take them long to pull it down and declare that it was the paramount issue. They have dodged the original para- mount issue, have dodged the trust issue, have dodged the imperial issue, and have, in fact, dodged eve- rything that isan issue and resur- rected what they called a dead issue on which to wage their campaign. How is a party like that to be re- buked ? By not voting at all, or by voting for a wooden figure head of some other party, or voting fer the man supported by the dodgers while inconsistealy declaring that you are opposed to the things dodg ed? The only way to effectiyely re- buke itis todo as Mr. Harmon says he will do, vote against the man who is running as the dodger’s can- didate, and for the man who has the nonesty to declare his principles and the courage to defend them. $< A Slick Swindle, From the elysian days when Adam and Eve roamed the varden of den free from care and clothing when the old serpent, slick old devil that he was, cheated them out of their home for an apple, down to the present time a large part of the world’s population has been “‘suck- ers’’ and there have always been swindlers to ‘‘hook ‘em in.” The same old tricks are worked time without number but they al- ways find some one to bite. Now here’s asSmooth one from the West, as told by the Kansas City Journal, that it seems to us has been worked in this State: ‘‘A prominent Barton county far- mer was made the victim of a smooth, aithough by no means new, swindle recently, through which he was worked for $375. Several weeks ayo aman claiming to bea real es- tate dealer approached the farmer with a proposition for the purchase fhisland. An offer of $50 was paid down to bind the baryain, the “purchaser” giving a Carthage ad- dress on hisdeparture. Some days afterward another farm seeker came along and offered 265 an acre for the same land. “Of course the owner wanted to sell to the second man at the hivher tigure, although he had tied himseif ina previous contract. So he wrote the “Carthage” dealer with refer- ence to a cancellation of his con- ractand after some dickering suc- ceeded in persuading the latter to accept $400 in cash in lieu of the privilege of buyingat the $50 rate. Then he was ready for the #65 man. But strangely enough he had disap- peared, and so, it was shortly after- reward discovered, bad purchaser No. 1. Then the farmer began to appee- efate that he had been swindled. Be at oace began ahot search for the artists who had separated him from his cash; but, of course, their apprehension, to say nothing of the recovery of any of the money, is well nigh hopeless.’ ——— «eR Wilhelmina Will Roost. Queen Rule the New York World. “Wilful Wilbelmina,’’ as the charming young queen of Holland bas long been called, is no longer “fancy free. After a romantic career as a heart-breaker for whose heart and hand royal swains sighed and sued and schemed in vain, Wil- helmina has betrothed herself to Duke Henry of Mecklenburg-Scher- win. This fortunate young prince claims descent from the oldest royal bouse in Europe, witha family pedi- gree that reaches away back to A. D. 1160. Twenty-five generations of ancestors born tothe purple will thus look down upon little Wilhel- mina through the eyes of her con- sort-elect, for she herself is the heir of a dynasty of quite modern manu- facture. Geis truly a lucky princeling. Wilhelmina is plump, pretty, and twenty-one. Sheisa beauty of the highest Dutch type, healthy, hardy, and athletic. Her face is comely and intelligent, and her cheeks are rosy asthe result of her fondness for outdoor sports. Moreover, she has wealth as well as health, the al- lowance voted her by her dutiful and really devoted people being #15,000,- 000 a year, besides which ske has an immense private fortune left to her by her father. Yet is there one fly in Duke Hen- ry scup of bappiness. He cannot be the head of his own household. Wilhelmina will rule the domestic roost and the duke will have to “honor and obey.”’ Sitting on thrones is as riding on horseback— where there are twositters one must needs take the back seat. The first thing Duke Henry will have to do before he can marry and settle down at The Hague is to become the nat- uralized subject of the woman who has chosen him to share her life but | nother crown. Wilhelmina is ‘‘ske | who must be obeyed,’ and Duke Henry must make the mosi of it. | Editor’s AwfuLPlight. ! F. M. Higgins, Editor Seneca. ! (Ills.)

There are hundreds of intelligent men, willing to work, but unable to find employ- ment of any kind, whocome ‘o this meeting place every Sabbath even- ing. A Times reporter visited the large hall on Twelfth street last night and witnessed the serving of the meal. More than 750 men were in attendance, most of them neatly washed and brushed up and appear ing like working men down on their luck, but yet endeavoring to appear as wellas possible. The way they pitched into the tea and buns serv- ed to show that all were hungry. ‘After the services a number of them were questioned as to the rea- son of their being out of work. In nearly every case the reply was that try as they would they could not get any. Among those ques- tioned were machinists, blacksmiths, iron workers, weavers and other skilled mechanics. One mam was pointed out as being one of the most expert penmen and book keepers in Philadelphia. He said he could get no work.”’ Perhaps there was never a time when all the workers in the country were employed, or when some of them could not find employment, but here they are by the hundred, men who are skilledin labor, in one of the greatest manufacturing cities in the Union, fed by charity, when the organs of the party in power are daily filling their columns with boasts about the great prosperity which the country enjoys, warpiog workmen not to vote for Wm. J. Bryan lest they invite ruin to them- selves, and all that sort of rot, as if theaverage workman didn't have any more intelligence than a bull yearling. There may be, as we have said elsewhere, more business being done than there was some years ago, when the country was suffering from bus- iness prestration, but that is the result of causes with which the Mc- Kinley administration has had nothing to do, and for which it is entitled to no more credit than Paul Kruger is. ee ee A Stop to be Put to Intimidation Chairman James K. Jones, of the Democratic National committee, and William R.

The coal trust regards the increase as an enforced contribution to elect the trust Pres- ident. If there had been no cam puign, would there have been any settlement ?

Our news dispatches tell today of a peculiarly signiticant action which has been determined upon by the delegates to the Cuban constitution- al convention, who have planned to meet a week in advance of the date fixed for the convention and formal- lv ask the United States, through the President, to desist from taking any steps toward interfering, with the proceedings of the convention, A netable circumstance is the fact that the delegates refrained from an- nouncing this intention until after Governor General Wood was at sea, on his way to this country to con- sult with the officials at Washing ton. These occurences make significant the utterarce—noted particularly at the time—of Governor General 'Vood when he landed at New York, that it would be necessary for him to return to Cuba by tke time fixed for the holding of the convention. And is this the boasted freedom which this government is to give Cuba. Are her people afraid to eXpress their own views in the presence of the military governor sent to rule them ? Is this the Republican idea of as- sisting Cuba to establish a govern- ment of ber own ? Surely the results of-the policy of imperialism are coming closer and closer home.

Tuesday's election resulted in the overwhelming re-election of Presi- st McKinley and the crushing de- feat of Mr. Bryan and the Democrat- -narty. The Republicans carried & 1 those States which they carried 1506 with the possible exception ' Kentucky and it is probable that they carried that State also. In ad- Gition to those he carried in 1896 McKinley received pluralities in South Dakota, Wyoming, Washing- ten. Nansas and very probably in Nebraska also. The best estimate + the electoral vote obtainable is <o~ tor McKinley and 145 for Bryan. © ly the South proper aad the Kocky Mountain States remained true to Bryan. While McKinley has received more ectoral yotes than he did in 1896, pluralities in the East and Cen- “| West have been vreatly reduc- ed, although they are still large el } hi tr enough. ftryan carried North Carolina by estimated at 25,000 to certainly a a wiority +000, The Democrats cieet six Congressmen and the Re- puvlicans two from this State, while there is some doubt about the third district. Blackburn defeated Bux- ton in the eighth and Moody was elected over Crawford in the ninth. The Republicans have a substan- tial majority in Congress. ———— "EE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR SENATOR. The Democrats of North Carelina nominated F. M. Simmons for Unit- ed States Senator Tuesday by an un- precedented majority. He received majorities in all sections of the State and carriedeight of the nine Con- eressional districts. He received his great majority because he was the choice of the people, for as much wis done against him as for him by politicians and newspapers. Mr. Simmons’ record, public and -ivate, gives the assurance that af- «next March North Carolina will ie represented in the Senate bya ‘tesman worthy of her best tradi- ‘ions. He is worthy of the honor which bas been conferred upon him, bo deserves the office and the gloom of Democratic defeat in the Nation bears less heavily upon 100,000 de- vored Domocrats of North Carolina which because of the satisfaction bev have in his election, Se - Inthe recest cumpaign in the county Chairman Hartness did his fullduty. Without funds and in spite of unjust criticisms from cer tain members of his own party or- tavization, he waged a successful fivht for Bryan and Kluttz and gave them an -increased majority in the county. The party never had a more faithful chairman nor one for whom the vreat mass of the voters hive a higher regarc. i ere in this hour of Democratic gloom ‘get some little comfort from the Landsome majority which the Dem- Iredell gave Chairman Simmons, for we were made one of tbe chief issues in the Iredell cam- paign ayainest bim. - ew - The Shiloh Democrats claim the Simmons banner in the State.

FL M. ~immons and demonstrated the fact yond a peradventure that the i ople of this State are for him and besieve he should be rewarded. He carried over SU counties out of the YT in the State. General Carr only carried one Congressional district, the Fifth, whichis his own district. In this district General Carr’s ma- jority was only about 1,400. At feast four of the counties in the Fifth district gave Mr. Simmons ma- jocities—Person, Caswell. Guilford sad Rockingham. In Rockingham tse Simmons majority was 1,180; tiss was an especially gratifying fet to the friends of Chairman ‘omons as this was the county webster’s Weekly, a paper that ‘sed amost bitter personal cam- pergu against him. The indica- tivus are that General Carr never carried a single county east of Wake and not more than six outside of his own district: The Simmons ma- Jorities in the Seyenth district are Davidson 1,000, Iredell 570, Cataw- ba 1.200, Stanly 900, Lincoln 150: Montgomery, Yadkin and Davie all ave Simmons large majorities.

Increased Republican Majority in the Electoral College. Repub- lican Majorities in Some Eastern and Cen- tral Ktates De- creased New York Dispatch, Nor. 6th., Midnight. It became evident ata very early hour this evening that the election of McKinley and Roosevelt was as- sured, At8:200'clock, returns from nearly two-thirds of the election dis- tricts of Greater New York had been receiyed, indicating, beyond question that Bryan and Ste- venson could not expect more thaa 25.000 or 30,000 plurality in this Democratic stronghold, and unless there was a landslide in the outside counties beyond all reasonable ex- pectation, the pivotal State of New York had declared in unmistakable terms, although by a greatly reduc- ed majority, for the Republican can- didates. As the night progressed it only served to contirm this judge- ment. The returns from Illinois betrayed alike condition. The Republican plurality of 1896 was greatly reduc- ed, but it was still far too large to pe overcome. On the other hand the returns from Indiana, Michigan, he two Dakotas, Utah and Wyoming, as well as Ne- braska, seemed to indicate strong Republicar gains over 1896. Dela- ware, Maryland and West Virginia had given decisive Republican plur- alities. The count in severa! of the far Western States was naturally so de- layed as to give little indication of the outcome there, but they had ceased to have a determining effect, ard before 10 0’clock the Democratic leaders had given up the contest and it was announced that Mr. Bryan had gone to bed and was sound asleep. The whole story was easily and briefly told. The Republican ticket would have alarger electoral vote than four years ago, but in the larg- er States of the East and Middle West, the pluralities had been greatly reduced. Massachu- setts had fallen from 174,000 to 50,- 000; New York from 268,000 to 150,- 000, and Illinois from 142,000 to 100,000 or less. The roll call of States at this hour is apparently as follows: McKinley—Connecticut, 6; Dela- ware, 3; lllinois, 24; Indiana, 15; Iowa, 13; Maine, 6; Maryland, 5; Massachusetts, 15: Michigan, 14: Minnesota, 9; New Hampshire, 4; New Jersey, 10; New York, 36; North Dakota, 3: Ohio, 23; Pennsyl- vania, 32: Rbode Island, +; Vermont, +; West Virginia 6; Wisconsin, 12; Galifornia, 9; Wyoming 3. Total, 259, Bryan—Alabama, 11; Arkansas, S: Colorado, 4; Fiorida, 4; Georgia, 13; Louisiana, 8; Mississippi, 9; Mis- souri, 17; Montana, 3; North Caro- tina, 11; South Carolina, 9: Tennes- see, 12; Texas, 15; Utah, 3; Virginia, 12.—Total, 139. Unreported—Idaho, 3; Kansas, 10: Kentucky, 13; Nebraska, 8; Nevada, 3; Oregon, 4: South Dakota, 4; Washington, 4 —Total, 49. If all the unreported States should turnout as Democratic, a highly improbable contingency, it would not change the result. The latest returns from Nebraska indicate a Republican plurality. The Fifty-Seventh Congress seems to be Republican by a substantial working majority. The gubernatorial tickets have ap- parently followed the National, and Odell is e'ected in New York and Yates in Illinois. a a A Peculair Accideut at Sea. New York Dispatch, Nov. 4th. The steamship St. Paul, of the American Line, Captain Roberts in command, arrived in port today, 2- hours late, with herstarboard pro- peller goneiand her engine room bad- iy damaged. Statements of different officiais vary as to the cause of the accident, but the damage sustained py the steamsbip will probably amount to several hundred thousand dollars. The St. Paul left South- ampton and Cherbourg on October 27, with a full cargo, 356 cabin pas- sengersand 245 in the steerage. About $ o'clock on the evening of Wednesday last, while some of the saloon passengers were still at din- ner 3nd cthers promenading, a sud- den shock was felt all over the ship. though it.was not sufficiently severe to cause a panic. The engines were stopped in a few seconds after the shock, but it is said that during that brief time the whirling machinery. free of the weight of the propeller, wrought havoc in the engine room The officials of the steamship refuse to allow any one to enter the engine room. The St. Paul will leave on Tuesday for the Cramps’ sbip yards, Philadelphia, where the necessary repairs will be made. One of the engineers of the St Pan! made the following statement tonight: ‘lt will take five months to repair the damage, which is to the extent of from $250,000 to $300,- 000. The starboard engine is x wreck. Theship did not strike a derelict, but an unusually big see struck her, throwing the stern out of the water, and the propellers, having no resistance, made fright fully rapid revolutions, which caus ed the starboard engine torace. The starboard tail shaft broke in two and with the wheel fell into the water. The amount of damage done Is not sutprising when you take in- to consideration the sudden libera- tion of 10,000 horse power. Four of the six cylinders are completely wrecked, two piston rods are bent, one connecting rod is bent and the starboard engine shaft is sprung six inches. The starboard engine is wrecked beyond repair. oo A Pair of Midgets. Hartford, Conn., Dispatch. 5 Mr. and Mr. Charles C.

NORTH CAROLINA TRUE TO DE-' MOCRACY. | Bryan's Majortiy Over 30.000—Sev- | en Democratic Congressmen— | Crawford and Buxton Defeated. North Carolina bas remained true to Bryan and Democracy. The ex- act majority for Bryan can not be given yet but it is about 30,000. Seven Democratic Congressmen bave been elected. Buxton in the Eighth and Crawford in the Ninth being defeated, and Republicans, Blackburn and Moody, elected. There’s no cloud that has not its sil- ver lining. It’s aconsolation in the midst of Democratic defeat in the vation to think that the ‘Old North State’’ has registered its will on the side of the right by the largest ma- jority for years to a presidential candidate and that we have gained another Democratic Congressman. The negro White in the Second dis- trict is succeeded by Hon. Claude Kitchin. Below we give a partial list of the counties with the reported majori- ties. The counties giving majorities for Bryan and the Democratic Con- gressmen were: Anson, 1,300; Burke, 300; Cleveland, 1,100; Cabar- rus, 200; Catawba, for Bryan major- ity emall, for Klutts, 230; Edge- combe, 1,400 for Bryan; Forsyth, 300; Gaston, 850; Guilford, 300 for Kitchin, 200 for Bryan: Granville. 750 for Bryan, 700 for Kitchin; Hal- fax, 500 for Bryan, 1,800 for Claude Kitchin; Durkam, partial returns give Kitchin 400 and Bryan 369; Greene; 500; Lenoir, 500; McDowell, close, probably Democratie; New Hanover, 1,625, Bellamy 1,710; Pitt, Bryan 1,200, Small 1,400; Person, Kitchin 350, Bryan 100; Scotland, 1,000; Stanly, Bryan 400, Kluttz 500; Robeson, 1,500; Richmond, large Democratic majority; Rock- ingham, 500; Union, Bellamy, 1,200, Bryan 800; Wayne, 1,000; Beaufort, 500 to 600; Carteret, 350, estimated; Chowan, Bryan 50, Small 100; Cra- ven, 1,200 to 1,500; Duplin, 800; Hertford, Bryan 200, Small 325; Johnston, Pou 1,800, Bryan slightly less; Martin, T00 to 800; Mecklen- burg, 1,700; Northampton, Bryan 400, Claude Kitchin 500; Nash, 1,000; Transylvania, Crawford getsa small majority; Vance, 300; Wilson, large Democratic majority; Bertie, 1,100; Currituck, 500, Jones, large Demo- cratic majority.

The victory was an overwhelming one, all the doubtful States drop- ping into the Republican column with biy majorities, New York led off and was followed in rapid succession by Ohio, Mary- land, New Jersey, Illlinois and probably Kentucky. In New York the Republicans claim a majority of 110,000, The Republicans claim Hlinois by 100,000 for McKinley. The Demo- crats concede the State for McKin- ley by 49,000, but claim that Als- chuber, the Democratic candidate for Governor is elected. Republican managers in Ohio claim that State by 60,000 plurality and seventeen Congressmen. New Jersey has gone Republican by from 15,000 to 40,000. McKinley made unexpectedly large gains in Baltimore. His ma- jority in theState will almost cer- tainly reaeh 11,000. If tha ratie of gsin indieated in early returns is continued, Iowa will give a Republican plurality of more than 100,000. Delaware is Republican by about 12,000 to 15,000) but the Democrats will have a majority in the Legis- lature. Ifthe figures indicated by early returns continue throughout the 2,400 4precincts in ‘the state of Minnesota, MeKinley’s majority will exceed 87,000. In Wisconsin the indications are that McKinley's plurality of 102,- 612 in 1896 will be more than equal- led. McKinlev carried Rhod- [sland by about 15,000 plurality. Though the vote in Massachu- setts shows a Republican net loss of 16 per cent. and a Democratic gain of 48 per cent. compared with the vote of 1896, McKinley's plural- ity in the State is estimated at about 75,000. Michigan is Republican by 40,000. Murray Vandiver, chairman of the Democratic State central commit- ee concedes Maryland to NMecKin- ey. In Connecticut early returns showed that the Republicans sus- tained a net loss of 8 per cent. and the Democrats gained 37 per cent. On this basis McKinley's plurality will be 23,265. Michigan is claimed for the Re- publicans by 40,000. Indications are that Beckham, (Dem.), is defeated in Kentucky and that McKinley has a small msjority. From meagre reports received from Indiana up to 10:30, indica- tions points to a Republican major- ity in Indiana. A very heavy bal- lot was cast in the State. The Democrats claim the State. In South Dakota the Republicans made heavy gains, and are claiming the State by a small majority. nee Wouldn't Black Negroes’ Shoes. Cincinnati Dispatch. John Sullivan, white, has been running a bootblack stand in the city hall so long that he has for some time been designated with some semblance of authority as ‘-otticial’” bootblack for the city hall building. A few days ago he refused to shine the shoes of a well known negro cit- ;izen and took occasion to announce that rather than shine the foot-gear of negroes he would “resign’’ his position. Mayor Felischman took a hand in the matter by ordering Sul- livan to polish the shoes of white and negro men alike at the same price or to abdicate from his city ballstand. Sullivan resigned. —~ a a A — The Atlanta news dealers will no longer handlé the New York Sun on account of its attacks on General Robert E. Lee. = } GENERAL NEWS.

Rak eee The Sertorial Contest. Last week we predicted Chair- man Simmons’ election by a very large major;ty and that Gener- al Carr woula carry 20 counties. Simmons’ majority is probably 50,- 000 and Carr bas carried 15 counties. We pre nor ieted that all the counties of this Congressional di-trict, with the probable exception of Rowan and Cabarrus, would give Mr. Simmons substantial majorities and the elec- tion has justified the prediction. Rowan is very close and Mr. Sim- rons nay have a majority there. Alexander has giyen Simmons about 606 and Wilkes 1,200. Mecklenburg went a little over 400 for Carr. This paper claimed last week that Simmons’ majority would exceed 500 in Iredell and that he would car- ry, ail three sections of the county. The majoriny foots up o70—49 in verth Iredell, 166 in central Tredell and 364 south Iredell. poe e Pardoned by Governor Russcil. Governor Russell has pardoned Marshall aud Elwood Foster, white men from Caldwell county, serving terms on the Iredell chai: gang for assault. Marshall’s pardon took effect from last week. Elwood will be turned loose in December. Seo. Ramseur, colored, of Cataw- ba county, another hand on the yang, is a beneficiary ol the execu- tive clemency, being pardoned last week. He had two years sentence for larcery. —__- Rev. C. M. Richards is expected oy Steere Mr. A. Burwell, Jr., of Charlotte, | on the W. N.C. railroad came home | THE ELECTION IN IREDELL.

Losses-~Statesville 4%, Fallstown 36, Shiloh 8 , Eagle Mills 8, Coddle Creek 5, Chambersburg 3. It will be seen that gains were made mostly in Republican townships and losses in Democratic townships. This is usually the case when a light vote is poiled, The Republicans madea still hunt aad got oui their vote pretty well. The senatorial contest was instru- mental in taking to the polis a larger number of Democrats than were expected. Comparing the vote for Aycoek and Kiuttz there was a Democratic vain of 157 in lredell, which does well when we consider the large losses made in other counties. The county canvassing board meets teday to canvass the vote. ‘Shere may be slight errors in the returns as printed above.

He was younded in the last battle and was hauled fromthe field in the same simbulance with Jefferson Davis, During the Mexican war he was promoted to second lieutenant, Third Peviment of Artillery, then first Heutenant in the same regiment for gallant services at Monterey. In January, 1848 he was promoted to the rank of captain and was made essistant quartermaster, United States army. From that time until May, 1854, he was kept on duty in Washington for special service. In April, 1856 he resigned from the army and went to Mississippi to live c» his cotton plantation. When the civil war broke out Uresident Davis appointed General i+ encha brigadier general, and he received his commission in October, 1-61. Hejoined the Army of North- ern Virginia, and was ordered to vansport, on the Potomac river, to blockade Washington city. This he did successfully, and Lord Lyons, who was then Enyvland’s minister to the United States, complimented him by remarking to Secretary of piate Seward that there was but one American pert blockaded, and that was Washington. General *vench’s command fell back to Fred- evricksburg, March 8, 1862, and he cas then ordered to relieve General Uranch, at Newbern, N. C., against which General Burnside was advanc- ing. The day that General French reached Richmond Newbern was captured, but he pushed on and re- lieved General Branch at Kingston, N. €. Then be was ordered to Wilming- ten, N. C., and it was here that Gen- eral French conceived the idea to build asand fort. He constructed Yort Fisher and all the fortifications about Wilmington. On July, 17, i862, General French took command che Army of Southern Virginia nd North Carolina, with headquar- ters at Petersburg, Va {t was here General French con- s‘ructed the fortifications around Petersburg from the Appomattox river tothe Weldon railroad. These fortifications were afterward occu- pied by General Lee, and the Con- federacy was prolonged for at least a vear. In June, 1863, General French was ordered to report to General J. E. Tohnston, in Mississippi, and he re- ruined on duty in that State until ‘ay 17th, when he joined General Jolnston at Cassville, Ga., and con- trnued with the Army of Tennessee until the battle of Nashville, when, owing to the condition of his eyes, he was unable to render further ser- vice. When in Petersburg, General French, by orders from General R. E. Lee, was ordered to select a po- sition and attack she shipping and acmy of General McClellan, who was at Harrison's Landing, on the James river. It wasto bea night attack. General Pendleton, Lee’s chief of artillery, was seni over eto Peters- bury with six or eight batteries to report to General French, who in- creased the number of guns to 75, and on July 30, 1862, moved down to the woods near Coggin’s Point. The next day was spent in reconnoiter- ing, and after dark 45 guns were Dutin position on the river bank. ine night was one of Egyptian darkness. At (midnight the guns opened. Had a thunderbolt, it is said, dropped from the sky, it could uot have created half the consterna- ‘ion the bursting shells did. -Soon every light was extinguished on the shipping andin the camp. No guns could reply as there were none on the riverside. General French, at cawn, withdrew without losing -a man. e In Mississippi General French commanded the jeentral division in the nine days seige of Jackson, Miss., and was in the Meridian campaign. During his service in the Army of “ennessee be fought the battle of “atimar House, His command ex- ‘ended from the top of Big Kenne- aw down over all of Little Kenne- saw. where on June 27th, he defeat- c? General McPherson’s assault on Little Kennesaw. With the bri- gades of Cockrell, Ector and Sears he fought the bloody battle of Al- toona, October 5, 1864. Inthe bat- tie of Atlanta his line was on the west, and his troops kept Sherman to the east, 800 yards distant from the works, and no musket ball fell in hiscamp. At Franklin, fone of his divisions lost 65 per cent. In all General French has been ia avout 30 battles. In the war, by to testimony of General J. E. John- ston, his troops never lost a line or position given them to defend. General French, notwithstanding hts advanced age, says he will at- teud the next reunion of the United Confederate Veterans, to be held in ‘emphis in 1901. General French 1s 2 member of the Historical Socie- ft. and takes a deep interest in all the affairs of the association. General French has just finished his autobiography, and it will short- ly be published by a Nashville con- cern. It will contain all the stir- riog incidents of the general’s life, from the time he was graduated feom West Point until the closing wire and carbon. When the work was over both complained of a diz- ziness and pain in the head which increased as the hours passed, and in a skort time both went suddenly blind at about the same time. Allefforts to restore their sight have been unavailing, for while the eyeballs appear allright the sight is destroyed. Women and Strong Drink. Atlanta Constitution. Chicago physicians are alarmed over the increase of drinking among women. “T am fearful that such conditions as are reported from London will some time prevail in this country,” said Dr. Nicholas Senn. ‘‘There is much more drunkenness among wo- menthanis dreamed of by most people.”’ “During the lest ten years drink- ing among American women has steadily increased,’’ declared Dr. Sarah Hackett Stevenson. ‘The increase has been greater among the wealthy classes and the younger social set than among the lower strata of society.”’ If this be true the Woman’s Chris- tian Temperance Union will have to turnits attention to the women, aided by the sober-minded men. > eS The World's Greatest Floating Dock.

Strong, the last mayor of the old city of New York, died sud- denly shortly after midnight, at his residence in this city. Mr. Strong took an active ‘part in the present campaign and it is said that his po- litical labors, combined with his at- tempts to retain supervision over his business affairs, in the face of impaired health, brought about the illness that resulted in his death. Wiliam L. Strong was born in Ohio and came to New York when 2 young man. He found employment with different firms until January 1, 1870, wken he organized the firm of Wm. L. Strong & Co. The firm soon grew to be one of the promr- nent business houses in the city. Mr. Strong took an active interest in politics and wasone of the lead- ers of the reform movement in this city and was elected mayor on the this city have been called on to in- vestigate. The first incident which led up to today’s climax was the fact disclos- ed yesterday that valet Jones had been taken to the district attorney's office and the subsequent rumor that be had made a confession to the authorities. Before the public had time to learn if the report of a con- fession was true came the more startling news that during the night Jones had in his cell in the Tombs attempted suicide by cutting his throat with a pen-knife, given him, he says, by Attorney Patrick, also contined inthe Tombs, and for the purpose of getting rid of one wit- ness to Patrick's alleged crime. His crime, according to the con- fession of Jones, parts of which the district attorney’s oftice gave out today, was nothing less than the murder of the millionaire by Attor- ney Patrick and the purloining of valuable papers relating to the es- tate. The taking off of Mr. Rice, says Jones, was done by the internal administration of something, sup posedly mercury, and the final ap- plication of atowel saturated with some anaesthetic, presumably chlo- roform. Attorney Patrick denies having furnished Jones the pen- knife and also denies the statements in the confession Jones, after his suicidal attempt. was taken to Bellevue Hospital, has- tily summoned physicians having been just in time to save him from death from loss of blood. Tonight the hospital surgeons said he was slightly betterand the chances are ‘hat in a few days he will again be placed in the Tombs. The coroner's investigation into the death of Millionaire Rice, which was to have been held today and which had previously been adjourn- ed to await the report of the chem- ist who had examined portions of the remains for traces of poison was again adjourned because of the new developments in the case. Inaddition to the confession ob- tained from Jones, much informa- tion was obtained from the valet in regard to the finances of the old mil- lionaire and the various Cocuments he signed. Other arrests may be made as a result of Jones’ confession, but no steps in this direction will be made until the statements of the valet have been verified. The re- port from tke hospital at midnight was that Jones was out of danger. Mr. Osborne was asked that if, in the event of Jones’ death, his con- fession could be secured and used. “An ante mortem statement,’’ said Mr. Osborne, ‘‘made by a third par- ty, is of no use. It must be made by a@ party about to die. No person knows better than Patrick that in the event of Jones’ death, the con- fession could not be used. He is a lawyer. He knowsthat dead men tell no tales.”’ _ ae Pharoah’s Chief Magician. ‘| London Express. Visiting Brighton Museum, Mr. Welgall, the well known Exyptolo- gist, saw an Evvptian statuette. It was such an attractive statustte—in an archaeological sense—that he ex- amined it closely. The resuit was a discovery of much interest to Egyp- tologists. “According to its label. written, I understand, by Mr. Birch. the statuette belonged to Pharoah’s chief butler. In Dr. Birch ’s day, however, Egyptology was in its in- fancy, and I found that one yroup of hieroglyphices had been mistranslat- ed. The real translation is Chief Magician of the Lord of the Two Lands; i. e., to the King of Upper and Lower Egypt, the Pharoah. “On the right shoulder of the statuette is cutthe name of King Rameses II, who is generally accept- ed as the Pharoak who oppressed the Israelites. From this itis plain that the statuette belonged to Ra- meses’ chief magician. Mereptah, who succeeded Raz 2ses, is generally regarded as the Pharoah of the Exo- dus. Thecompetition between Pha- raoh’s magicians and Aaron's and Meses’ probably tock place at the beginning of Meneptah’ reign, and Rameses’ magician might stiil be in office. “Therefore, it is possible that the original owner of the statuette was one of the very magicians who com- peted with Moses and Aaron. Arch- aeology has given us so little infor- mation regarding the times of Mo- ses that the statuette may be re- garded as one of the most interest- ing objects in Biblical archaeology at present known. It is of black granite and about 12 inches h gh.”’ ———$——— + ee Errors in Pacific Charts Make Navi- gation Dangerous. San Francisco Dispatch, 2nd.

Green is saidto have been born on afarm near Elizabethport, N.J., January 1, 1777. He was sold to a Virginia planter named Horner, by whom, it is said, he was sold to General Washington. In 1812 he was made a free man and then came North and was employed by George Green, a Long Island farmer, with whom he remained for forty years. Green's faculties remained unim- paired until 15 years ago, when his sight and bearing began to fail and he entered the poor house, where he had lived ever since. He used both whiskey and tobacco, but had never shown any bad effects from either. He was married several times and is said to be the father of 37 chil- dren, most of whom are dead. ———— ee Sense Versus Learning. Toronto Globe.

Letters frum privates in China be gin to find their way into the Social Democratic papers, showing that the German troops give no quarter.

Mr. Marshall has been oneof the) the guards of the county convicts for | some time. He cameto Winston Thursday and admits he had taken two drinks of whiskey. When questioned by a Sentinel re- porter on Friday abeut the attack made upon him, Mr. Marshall said he went out to Ramecat Thursilay afternoon and was onhis way back to Winston when the attack was made upon him. He is confident that a white man struck him witha rock. He was knocked down, and lay practically senseless until next morning, when he was brought to Wirston in a wayon, When seenon Friday, Mr. Mar- shall was lying across two chairs at the police station. His left ear was bloody. The wounded man said ke was struck just above theear. There were seyeral spots of blood on his shirt bosom. “The party who assaulted me stole my silver watch and fifty-two del- lars in money,’’ said Mr. Jfarshall, adding that he couldnot walk this morning ov account of a dizziness in his head. Mr. Marshall intended going home on avisit Friday. Headmitted that he made a mistake by drinking and visiting such a disrepectable place as as Rameat. Special Policeman Martin on Fri- day evening arrested a white man named Sam Martin on the charge of being the party who assaulted and robbed Mr. Marshail.

It was 6:25 o'clock when the father of the} He was murdered gir] touched the match to the fuel which had been piled around the negro, and twenty minutes later a last convulsive shudder his life was extinct. What agony the doomed boy suffered while the | : vy flames shrivelled up his flesh, could only betold by the contortions of his face and the cries be gave from time to time. The executioners, who numbered about 300 citizens of Lincoln county, had not the least semblance of the ordinary mob Their every act was deliberate and during all the preparations, as well a> through the sufferings of the ne- gro, hardly an unnecessary word was spoken. Grimly they stood in 2 circle about the tire until the body was cntirely consumed and then quietly they took their way back to Limon, whence: they departed for their homes shortly afterwards. Preston Porter did not seem to realize the awful pusishment that he Was destined to undergo. As he had exhibited indifference to the enormity of his crime, so he seemed to lack all understanding of its ter- rible consequences. For more than an hour, while preparations for his exeeution were in progress, he stood mute and sullen among the avenyers. When everything was ready, he walked to the stake with a firm step, pausing us he reached the circle of broken boards, to Kueel in prayer. He was allowed to take his time. He arose and placed his back to the iron stake and halfa dozen men wound chains about bis body und limbs. Kerosene oil Was applied to the wood and after a brief pause, Richard W. Frost. the little Prost girl, whose cruelly mutilated body was found one week ago on that very spot, ap pliedatmatch. Fora moment but a little tlickering flame arose. Then the oil blazed up, sparks flew into the air and the wood began to crackle. Almost iastantly the ne- #roO 5s trousers cauevht fire. Even though the flesh must have been scorched he did not utver a sound. The flames crept slowly upward on his clothing, the sparks flew up in a cloud of paltesmoke. Porter turned his head and a frightened ex pression chanved his face. With a sudden convulsive tugving he stretched out his head as far from the rapidly in- Creasing flames as possible and ut- tered a cry of pain: “Oh! My God! Let me «o, men! I've got something more to tellyou! Pleaselet me go! Oh! My God! My Gea!” ln terrible screeches these words, the first he had uttered aloud, came from the negro. A terrible tugging at the chains, a succession of awful sroansandscreams. The agony was at last breaking down his sullen com- posure. Not an oath escaped him, but he begyed and pleaded to be shot, Suddenly the rope holding bis hands burnedthrough. Then arms, head and shoulders slipped through the chains. For aa instant the body stood erect, the arms were raised in supplication, while burnieg pieces of clothing dropped from them The body then fell away from the fire, the head lower than the feet, still fasten- ed to the rail. This was not expect- ed, and fora few moments those stolid men were disconcerted: they feared that the only remaining chain Would vive way. If this had ovcur- red the partly burned human being would have dashed among them in his blazing garments, and not many wouldjhave cared to capture him. But the chain held fast The body was then in such a posi- tion that Only the legs were in the tire. The cries of the wretch were redoubled and he again begged to be shot. Some wanted to throw him into the tire; others tried to dash oil upon him. Boards were carried and a large pile made over the pros- trate body. They soon were ignited and the terrible heat and lack of air quickly rendered the victim uncon- scious, bringine death a few mo- ments later. This terrible ceremo- hy, out upon the rolling prairie, con. cluded the second tragedy upon that spot, the terrible avenging of the first. Through the entire affair but little Was said. As they had calmly pre- pared for the avenging, so the peo- pic of the eastern part of the State carried out their plan coolly and de- ‘Iberately. There was not a hitch in the entire proceeding. Not a Weapon was drawn: there was no angry discussion. After the fire had burned low, they told each other good night and then went home. They did not stop to discuss the affair. The train bearing the negro in custody of Sheritl Freeman and his deputies arrived at Limon, at 3:45 p.m. The cars were crowded with newspaper reporters and people cu- rious to see the hegro executed. Mr, Frost, the murdered girl's father, Was one of the passengers, When the train stopped, sixteen men, who had been selected by the vigilance committee, entered the train and demanded the prisoner from the sheriff. Their every action was marked by caliness and determina- tion. The ofticer protested in the name of the law and asked the men to allow him to take his prisoner to the county jail at Hugo, but his protests were disregarded. One man Carried a rope, in which had been formed a hangman’s noose This was slipped over the negro’s neck. It was at first announced that the negro wzs to be executed by hanging. Many of the men, in- cluding the father of the negro's Victim, said that death would be too easy this way, and it was finally de- cided to leave the manner of execu- tion with the Outrayed father. He decided upon burning at the stake. The train was then allowed to pro- ceed,and at Lake Station, about three miles from Limon and near the scene of the negro’s crime, the par- ty left the train and began prepa- rations for the deed of vengeance. Suggestions of mutilation before burning were made, but Mr. Frost declared against it. Wagons were dispatched for wood and upon their return a score of men assisted ia preparing it for the fre. When at last preparations were completed a further delay was made because it was known many were on their way from Hugo and } other parts of the country to take part in the affair.

Washington Post. Now that the Republicans have so large a majority assured in the next Congress, surely they will be COb- | tent with what they have and spare | their friends and well-wishers a re-| petition of the disgraceful scandals ; which have so shocked and grieved | them in the past. It is no ‘onger | necessary or even prudent to seat | contesting Republicans, especially | those who have been notoriously de- | feated and whose minorities cannot ve impeached in common sense or reason. The party has a large | working force—perhaps as large | can be safely handled—and even if | all other things were equal; the pro- | priety of increasing it would at least be doubtful. Let us hope that de- cency will be respected in the Fifty- seventh Congress. We have in mind thecase of Dr. | tichard A. Wise, of the second Vir- | sinia district, who was seated in the Iifty-fiftth and FVifty-sixth Con- sresses by a purely partisan vote and in detiance of all justiceand fair dealing. The facts are so flagrant that they call for no review at this late day. No one acqainted with the cireunistances ever doubted for an iastant that Mr. William <A. Young, Dr. Wise’s competitor, had been legitimately elected. Prominent Republicans did not hesitate to ex press their disgust and shame, and when, last year, Speaker Henderson had John A, Wise, the contestant’s brother and attorney, ejected from the floor of the House, every honest member of the body applauded and sustained him. All knew that Young was the lesal owner of the seat. Even those who voted, against equi ty, to seat Wise—who won out bya majority of less than three-—felt compelled to blush and hang their heads. It wasa bare-faced case of influence and favoritism, and no self-respecting man connected with the transaction could for weeks af- terward, look into the mirror without pain. This year the farce has been re- peated, without the exception that Dr. Wise has another antagonisc, | Mr. Young having withdrawn from | wu contest in which he encountered but most insolent injustice. Again it appears upon the face of the re- turns that Wise has been defeated. and again we hear that he iatends toappeal toa Republican Congress and to what is known as elections committee No. 3, of the House—a body which has earned an ey fame for unscrupulous and unhesitating partisanship. John A. Wise has been doing campaign work during the past few months, and he. no doubt, will once more appeal tothe party he has served so well for com- pensation in the form of seating his thrice defeated _ brother. That brother has always been a selfsatis- fied-nonenity in the House, seldom if ever doing more than draw his sala- ry and, at discreet Intervals, intro- duce into the House some vapid bill The Proposed Reorganization. | Washington Post. In the balloting of Tuesday last Mr. Bryan received about 6,500,000 votes—perhaps more, perhaps less, but that is very nearly the fgure— | and now come Messrs. Don Dickin- | son, John G. Carlisle, and a han@ful | of former Democrats who in their bolt four years ago polled less than 100,- 00 votes, proposing to stepin and “reoganize the Democratic party. The proposition is so grotesque that we bave not heretofore mentioned it, nordo we now intend to take it seriously. In view, however, of the controversy that has arisen we fee] moyed to say a word cr two in con- nection. In the first place, the idea of hav- ing 6,500,000 voting Democrats ‘‘re- organized’ by a baker’s dozen of soreheads and recalcitrants is too rediculous for words. We recall the campaign of 1892, when all these prophets were in line and when their united ecstasy produced for Mr. Cleveland nearly a million less Dem- cratic yotes than Mr. Bryan, against their fervent and vicious opposition, realized four years later. It is true that Mr. Cleveland was elected over Gen Harriscn, but it is equally true that he won by aid of the Repnblican defection aad not by Democratic strenyth. Ho did not bring out more than a respectable minority of the Democratic vote. He was elect- ed by the Republicans. At thejend of Mr, Cleveland’s term the party was in a state of chaos. He had disloca- ted and paralyzed the machinery of the organization and the very men who are now offering themsei- ves as leaders and reconstructors were his chief coadjutors in the achievement of that calamity, They were agents of the feebleness and discord then. They would be guar- antors of disaster now. Why should the Democracy fiy in- to a panic over this defeat and rein- state as their leaders the men who abandoned them four years ago, and without whose aid they have on two subsequent occasions polled more votes than the party ever before re- ceived in its history? In 1892, the Republicans encountered an over- Wwhelming defeat.

Tampa, Fla., Dispatch, rsth, The trouble between the rival la- bor organizations, Resistencia and the International Cigarmakers’ union, reached a crisis yesterday. Each organization made a demand that members of the rival union be locked out and some of the manufac turers have closed their factories to prevent trouble. Forces from both sides met at the factory of Penda & Alvarez and de- clared that they would not allow the other to work even if there had to be vloodshed. The factory was imme. diately ClosedZby the management. Demand was then made on all facto- costumes. Some of the neighbors in the meanwhile brought blankets. andthe girls who had the least clothing went into near-by houses. The tire started in the boiler room, exactly how is not known. It made quick work and in less than two hours the building w as entirely de- Stroyed, The desks from the busi- ness office anda _ few articles of fur- niture was about all that Was saved.

Mooresville Enterprise. The Presbyterian church was crowded to its utmost seating capac- ity last evening by friends that gathered there to witness the mar- riage of Miss Cornelia Deaton and Mr. Charles H. Hamilton, it being the first marriage celebrated in the new church building. The floral arranyement about the altar was not an elaborate, but a very taseful array of autumn flowers and evergreens, and the soft gleam- ing lights from the chandelier added lustre to the scene. To the peals of Mendelssohn and Tannhauser as rendered by Miss Effie Kilpatrick, the attendants be gan their march to the hymenial al- tar from the door at the center aisle, Mr. James M. Deaton and Dr Ernest H. Miller, taking the iead. Immediately followiog came Mr. C. P. McNeely aud Dr. Ed: Beli, Mr. McNeely going to the right and Dr. Bell to the left, and were met at the center aisle by the bridesmaids, Misses Annie Rankin and Bessie Wharey. The attendants having thus formed an oblique line on either side of the chancel, the bride then approached on the arm of the groom and proceeded to the center of the group, where Dr. Wharey, assisted by the Rev. J. F. Pharr, of Gilwocd Presbyterian church, performed the ceremony that made them husband and wife. The bride was arrayed in a becom- ing dress of pastel green silk, with- out ornaments, and the bridesmaids were attired in gowns of white or- gandie. Immediately after the ceremony the bride and groom repaired to the home of Mr. James M. Deaton. The bride wore away a handsome travel- iny suit of brown cloth. Thecouple left on the southbound train for a brief trip to Columbia, S. C, and other points South On Tuesday evening after a re- the bridal party was entertained at a reception at the home of Mr. and Mrs, J. C. Deaton, the bzide’s parents, where elegant and dainty refreshmeats were served. The Misses Boyd, Hobbs, Dick- son Carraway, Elms and Steele, of Barium Presbyterian Orphanage, came down to be present at the mar- riage, the bride having been associ- ated with them in teaching for sev- eral years at the orphanage. The bride was the recipient of a number of very handsome presents. se as sacea nara Burned to Death in Their Home Charlotre Dis patch, 21st. Two old ladies, Violet Colley,aged 7D, and her niece, Jane Cath Colley, who lived alone in a house ona main thoroughfare, five miles from Char- lotte, were last night murdered,rob- bed andtheir bodies burned. The old ladies were generally reported to be wealthy, and it is known they had a good deal of money. They had lived a retired life for years and sel- dom ventured away from home, not even to the city except when busi- ness compelled a visit. The house which they occupied stood within 150 feet of the roadside. Near it was asmall building whick they used as a kitchen and in which they kept their stores. People pass- ing alovg the road this morning noticed that the small house had been burned. There was not a sign of life about the place, and an inves- tigation showed that the dwelling bad been ransacked from top to bottom, indicating that a most thoroueh search had been made for the money which the old ladies were supposed to have kept in the house. Bureaus, cabinets and desks had been opened and their contents strewn about. Every vook and cor ner of the dwelling bore evidences of having been searched. The gene- ral surroundings and the absence of the old couple pointed all too plain- ly to a case of murder, robbery and arson and it was no surprise when 2 search of the ashes of the small building revealed two burned stumps —the bodies of Miss Colley and her niece. The supposition is that the old ladies were attacked while they were at supper, after which their residence was sacked and the house in which their bodies lay was_ fired. For years past they bad been known to be accumlating money and had probably saved up $1,200. There is absolutely no clueto the perpetra- tors of the deed. The neighborhood people are greatly stirred up, and both city and county officials are using every effortto get a trace of the murderers, Tried to Kill His Wife. Fayetteville Observer. Mr. Wm. Rhodes was brought down from Godwin Monday after- noon violently insane and placed in jail to await transference to the asy- ium. Monday he was only prevent- ed from killing his wife by his father, kk. J. Rhodes, who subdued him af- ter aterribie struggle. Last May Mr. Rhodes, ina fit of despair over the illness of his wife. attempted suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. So fearful were the wounds he inflicted, that it was thought he would die, but be recovered, and then it was found that he was insane.

Morethan of persons were killed and 100 more iniured, while thedamage to houses, timber and other property will reach large figures. The storm en: tered the State from northern Mis sissippi and swept across in a north easterly direction. Great damage is reported from the counties bor- ing on Mississippi and further ov, Columbia, in Maury county, 35 the sufferer. Lagrange, No- ville 2nd Gallatin also felt the force, the storm finally: los- r its force ag the Curmber Mountain range.

Peter Adams, Bryerson, cook at the Carrolls, colored. The pathof the storm is about ity vards wide and was through the northwestern suburbs of the town. In its path everything is completely wrecked. Not even the iron and stone fences of the arsenal erounds are standing. The houses of Captain Aydelot, the Farrell's and ier large residences were demol- With the exception of these the storm’s path was through a section of the town popu- lated chiefly by negroes and the woorer classes and the houses were It is estimated that =) of them were totally destroyed Or he j shea. four houses, €ére hovels. nd alarger number damaged.

At Lavergne. 16 miles south of on the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis road, the velocity of the wind was marvelous and from best reports lasted only about 20 seconds. in this short time about 25 dwell- ings were torninto kindling wood.

Several days ago we published an | editorial on floods caused by cutting | timber, suggested by a communica: | tion in the Charlotte Observer. | Pennsvivania, and other States 10) that section have suffered much from drouth within the past year, which suggests the following, which weclip from the Philadelphia Times. “The existing drought which has | reduced the water supply in various | sections of the State to the famine | point and threatens to close coal mines and iron furnaces and leave | the farmers without drink for their | cattle, shows that the movement to| protect the forest sections at tne sources of our great river systems | was not started too soon, The great est shortage of water exists at pres- ent in the mountainous regions | which furnish the sources of the Le- | high and Scbuylkill rivers and exists because these sections have been largely denuded of their forests. No proper provision has been made to protect the young timber from forest fires, and the resuit is that these hillsides are in many instances as barren as Saharra’s desert and hold no water in reserye to supply the streams which should continue to run among the hills even in a time of drought. “What has befallen of the Schuylkilland Lehigh bid fair to befall the great watersheds of ‘he Delaware, Susquebanna and Al- heny in the near future unless the State acquires and protects the for- est sections at their sources. It is not aecessary at this junction to de- termine whether the denuding of forest areas and decreases-rainfall or not. Even anormal rainfall upon barren n.ountains and hillsides runs off quickly to cause destructive floods in the rainy seasons and leave springs and brook beds without water indry <A goodly forest re- serve would absorb and hold this water to fine its way into spriags and smallstreams gradually and con- tinuously at all seasons. “The private owners of the forest lands at the sources of Lehigh and Schuylkill rivers stripped their land ‘of raarketable timber, and forest fires and drought have done the rest. Private owners are doing the same thing with like results everywhere, and the towns without a water sup- ply and the raines that must be speedily closed if no rain falls be- tween the freezing weather of Win- ter sets in should furnish all the ob- ject lessons necessary on the folly of permitting the forests at the sources of our greater river systems to be further denuded. The remain- ing forest lands should be acquired by the State as speedily as_possible and then protected effectually against fire. Ii this is not done the experience of the towns in the an- thracite coal region in the present dry season will become the experi- ence of the smaller towns in all sec- tions of the State in the near fu- ture.” We reproduce this because it is as applicable to North Carolina as it is ' the sources leg puildings, were laid flat on the gest t egyound. Jhe loss of these two} buildings 1s placed at $7,000. The railroad lost four section houses, each valued at $900. Two victims of the tornado are: George Robertsoa and bis six-moaths-old child. Mr, Robertsun’s house, which was a very strong log structure, was in the middle of the path of the storm and was jaid flat onthe ground. At the time Mr. Robertson and his child had retired and his wife was sitting near the bed sewing, and be- fore the latter could even warn her husband death had claimed them. Mrs. Robertson’s escape was mar- velous. When found the unfortu- nate man was pinned across the back by a large timber, anda great sear was on the back of his neck. No mark could be discerned on the body of the child. Both were thought to have met instant death. In almost every home there was several injured. In Williamson county great damage was done but the town of Franklin escaped with comparatively small loss. Houses and timber in Sumter county also suffered considerably, but first re- ports sent cut from Gallatin were exagcerated. Great suffering is be- ing experienced by those deprived of homes at Lavergne and Nolens- ville. The rise in the Cumberland river at Nashville is the most rapid known in 25 years, the water having climb- ed 20 feet on the guage since yester- day morning. Dispatches up to9 p. m., indicate that last night’s storm which swept over Northern Mississippi and Cen- tral and Western Tennessee was one of great severity. Advices by the Associated Press and from special correspondents show that the total loss of life in the territory visited by the tornado already amounts to sixty fourand the number injured to over fifty. — The Latest Hair taising Amusement. Charlotte News Hidden among the other bits of vray matter there seems to be a sec- tion of man’s brain given to think- ug that the subjection of one’s self o useless physical danger isa great pleasure. It is illustrated in the action of that large number of mem- vers of the huwan family of all ages whoenjoy rides on Ferris wheels and underground railways, shooting the chutes and doing othec thiays of like nature which no other animal would voluntarily undertake. lt seems that the latest -timprove- ment’’ in hair-raising*‘amusements”’ suecessor to and an aggravation of the chutes, is a centrifugal railway which sends a car loaded with ex cursionists down a steep incline and with thevelocitythus attained shoots car and excursionists bodily round an upright loop asa boy whirls a pail of water at arm’s length with- out spilling,so that at one breathless moment of the passage the heads of the excursionists are where their heels should be. When it is considered that the participants know nothing of the devices adopted by the managers to insure the safety of passengers in -ase of accident, that they fully be- lieve when they start the journey that they are taking their lives in their hands, that they pay money to crave this dangerand that it is not tbe exceptional human being who doesjthis, but the normal man in such numbers that the elaborate en- gineering construction becomes a paying investment, a philosopher is amply justified in canvassing the psvchology of the matter. } i ‘ ‘ The easiest and most effective method of purifying the blood and invigorating the system is to take DeWitt’s Little Early Risers the famous little pills for cleansing the liyer and bowels. W.F. Hall,Jr. to Pennsylvania That State per- | mitted her forests to be denuded be- cause she had an abundance of tim-. didnt realize the conse- | quences of indiscriminate cutting ‘and damage by fire until it was too late. Now she is trying to repair the damage done to some extent, at least, by buying land for forestry reservation, having already purchas- ed over 800,000 acres. Throughout the timber sections of the South the destruction of the forests is now going on even more rapidly than it did in Pennsylvania, and unless it is checked and more moderation shown we will pay the inevitable penalty in drouths. — _—- Revision of the Crecd. Brookiyn Eagle. The sentiment of thecreed revision ditfers today from that of yesterday, and is aot the same as the sentiment of twelve months ago. Men who were carried away by the emotional tluidity of some of the revisionists have concluded that more than emo- tion and more than sentiment need to be put forth as reason for chang- ing the statement of the Church’s belief. They are harking back to the splendid legie of Calvanism—and whatever view one may hold of the relation of that logic to vital religion he cannot help admiring its clear- ness and its directness and its 2our- | ber and _—->- age. John Calvin was no mental weakening. On the other hand, many who stood by the creed some time ago have concluded that its re- statement is desirable at this time. Thev believe that the whole truth is contained in no frauds, and that as men’s conception of what is best grows, this formula {should be modi- fied to correspond with the new con- ception. The growth of this party in the church is responsible for the demand for a shorter creed in place of the Westminister document. There are reactionaries and pro- gressivists conservatives and liber- als, clear thinkers and obfuscated in- terlects in Presbyterianism just as there are similiar groups of thinkers in politics. Theshifting of opinion among men is always an interesting study to the philosophical observer of his kind. Indeed, until one can hold bimself aloof from controversy long enough to take the philsophica! view he has no comprehension of the questions in dispute. One of thein- teresting developments in Presby- terianism is that the church is com- ing to understand the relation which the discussion over the creed has to the Christian life, and whether there be a formal restatement of be lief or not, before the discussion is ended it will appear to all parties that the issue is oneof form rather than of substance. Even the con- genial liberals and conservatives will see this though they do not agree on the form 2 TE ¢<2> © <i —————__— A New Magna Charta. Florence, S. C.. Times.

A vieious attempt at murder, whica failed, and a suicide near the Stock Exchange, caused a sensation on Wall street at 9 o'clock this morning. Joseph Neaman, aged 22, a bar- tender, shot at John Daly, ayed 19, a messenger boy, in the hallway of the Western Union building. Nea- man fired three shots, one of which struck Daly in the head. The murderer then swallowed car- bolic acid and died instantly. Daly was removed to the Hudson Street Hospital, where the wound was declared not necessarily fatal. A woman who saw the afiair went into histerics and a report became current that Neaman had tried to kill her. It was learned later that she was the wifeofa Western Union official and was the only witness to the affair. From a letter in Neaman’s pocket, it appears that he found Daly, a ican Congress will pass bill. That is part of +he program and part of the plat- form. Of course itis the duty of the Democratic minority to oppose it, but itis equally the duty of the Republican majority to vote for it. It is simply an extension of the scheme of protection. Favoring the policy of protection on land, Repub- licans must also indorse the logical corollary of a subsidy on sea. The vill will be passed. That is certain. The only uncertainty about it is the amount to be levied on the tax payers to enrich the subsidy homeless boy, three months ago and|grabbers.

The boy left Neaman for some stronz reason and the police say Neaman tried this morning to get him to re- turn. Daly refused and the tragedy fol- lowed. Daly madea statement to the police, which they with-held for the coroner’s inquest. Victim of a Wife’s Jealousy. New York Dispatch, 23rd. Lena Schrecka, a servant girl, lies at the Bellevue hospital today with her beauty gone, and her eyesight partially destroyed, the victim of a woman's jealousy. The police have arrested Mrs. Max Wolf who formerly employed the girl and who is charged with throwing the acid into her face while in a fit of jealous anger. Mrs. Wolf last night visited the home of Arnold Malkain, where the girl was employed. There was a quarrel. Mrs. Wolf charged the girl with flirting with Mr. Wolf. A moment later Lena ran into the street screaming. Her face was blistered by carbolic acid and her eyes terribly blurred. At the hospital it is said that the girl will recover but that her face will always bearascar and her sight will be impaired. The girl is nine- teen years of age and recently came from Vienna. Mrs. Wolf expressed ro regret when she was arrested. “Tt will teach her not to attempt to steal honest women’s husbands,”’ she said. Japan asa Rival. Kansas City World. Count O’Kenna, late minister to Japan, grew enthusiastic in a recent interview over the marvelovs pro- gress which the Japanese are yearly making and says the United States is the only country in the world that can compare with Japan for enter- prise, progress and brains. He even hints that tke Japanese are in a fair way to eclipse the Yan- kees as a world power, and his rea- sons for it he puts in this way: ‘‘In America the country is young and the people old, but in Japan the ed Bloody Fight With Razors. Asheville Citizen. eee . {country is clad asd the people One of the bloodiest fights in young.” Count O’Kenna further Cripple Creek history took place last night ina restaurant kept by Doc Blanton. The _ participants were Georgia Cox, white, and Ivory Williams, alias Ivory Johnson, col- ored. After considerable prelimi- nary ‘“‘cussing’’ and discussing each belligerent drew a razor and pro- ceeded to carve the other. Although only a woman Georgia 1s considered an artist ir the art of carving and after it was over it’ was found that she had sustained her reputation, but had lost some of her dignity and also some blood. The negro tried to escape, but was captured by the police while hiding in a shanty car near Biltmore with a towel around his head, hop- ing inthis way to stop the tlow of blood from wounds on the bead. He was brought up town and a/ter hav- ing kis wounds dressed was locked up. It was found that the most dangerous wounds were on either side of the head extending from the ear to the jaw. The wounds were deep ones and it is lucky,in this case, that Johnson was found, otherwise he had good chances of bleeding to death. Johnson also did good work, hav- ing cut the Cox woman so badly shows that by actual statistics Ja- pan has made greater progress in the past decade than any nation in the world, her exports having in- creased from $16,000,000 to $167,- 000,000, while her imports have in- creased from $26,000,000 to $445,- 000,000 in the same period of time. There is no question but what Ja- pan is today ove of the foremost na- tions of the world in point of ad- vancement and enterprise. She has the best drilled army in the world for its numbers, andher navy is in every respect modern and up to date. The great genius which the Japanese haye shown in absorbing pointers from the rest of the world and using them to good effect in her national and industrial affairs is cer- tainly deserving of the utmost praise and respect, Jn the Chino- Japanese war and more recent out- breaks of the Boxers she has shown herself ready and eager to take her place alongside some of the world’s greatest powers, and to hold it to her credit. By aclever bit of diplomacy she bas won over England to her side in the partition of China which seems inevitable for some time, and in a x? rotiche was mumableltoub= mmoced great many ways the clever Jap from the field of dishonor. It was shows a desire to keep well towards the front.

Louisville Courier Journal. There isno room to doubt that royalty and nobility are looking up. We are to have a royalist deputy ia Congress from Hawaii. He can hardly form a party by himself or even a group, but he will be able to do service as a nestege. His heart will go out to the Sultan of Sulu, with his harem and his slaves, and he may stretcbhhis arms toward Su- lu, either east or west, ia atfection- ate yearning. We have got at least the germ of a rovalist party. With aroyalist in Congress and a Sultan in a colony, why should we not makea nobility of our own, thereby giving protection to domes- tic wealth? found that Johnson’s blade had en- tered the woman’s head near the ear and had made acut tothe angie of the mouth, the steel severing the tHlesh completely through and ex- posing the teeth to full view through the wound. Besides this cut the woman's left arm was nearly sever- ed, there was a 12 inch gash on the right arm and minor gashes on the head and neck. It took the doctor in charge just 2} hours to sew her together. —> << oe Asked to be Sent to the Pen. Salisbury Truth-Index.

Itis gratifying tosee the great religious Concminaticus of ihe State, taking high ground in favor of theestablishment ofan institution of youthful criminals. The Presby- terian Synod last its views of the matter in no uncer- tain terms. The Baptist convention and the Methodist conferences will no doubt follow in terms equally as clean cut when they meet. Much painful work will be spared to our judges, no little expense will be lift- ed from the State, many young men, not yet hardened in crime, will be schooled in virtuous principles and useful zitizenship and-best of allsouls saved. We know no way the State can better invest several thou- sand dollars annually than to sustain this reformatory. An ounce of pre- vention 1s worth a pound of cure. It is a great deal cheaper to shut up the saloons as cause of crime, than to pay court expenses to try, and jails and penitentiaries to imprison crim- inals. There Is a Truth Here, The New York Herald sees no reason why we should fly off to for- eign parts for an expansion which can be found nearer home. Says The Herald: The best way toexpand is to make better use of the opportunities which are close at hand, and to create oth- ers. The south is practically an un- developed country. It has forests, rivers, fields and mines which are waiting to be used. Noneed to go to the Sandwich or the Philippine islands, for there is plenty of work to be done at home, and plenty of money indoing it.

Raleigh News and Observer, A good deal of padding has been discovered in census returns in re- gard to manufactories. The num- ber of manufacturing establishments reported by the present census is 635,000, as against 350,000 in 1890, but this number will haveto be cut down about 83,000 because of the ex- cessive zeal of the enumerators. Perhaps they were actuated also by a desire to increase their compensa- tion. An enumerator receives 25 cents for every manufacturing es- tablishment reported. When two or more kinds ofarticles were man- ufactured by the same person or company under the same roof, some of the thrifty enumerators reported two factories and made out two schedules, thus doubling the number of establishments and their own pay. Also it is sid that in many instances blacksmith shops and repair shops on big farms and plantations were reported as manufactories, while eayverness to increase their pay and make a favorable report caused ma- ny enumerators to boldly exagyer- ate without any sort of excuse. Blown Up With Dynamite. Little Rock, Ark., Dispatch, 22nd. The north bound passenger train No. 56 on the St. Louis, Iron Moun- tain and Southern railway was held up tonight near Gifford station, for- ty miles south of Little Rock, by five masked robbers. A lot of ties piled on the track and surmounted by a red light caused the train to slow up and before the train had come to astop, the bandits were at work with dynamite. The door of the express car was blown open and the express messenger, L. D. Avery, of St. Louis, was seriously injured by flying timbers. Four vain at- tempts were made to blow open the through safe. Their supply of dy- namite being exhausted, the robbers left with only the contents of the way safe, amounting to about 3300. No attempt was made to rob any of the passengers The express car was literally blown to pieces. A posse of fifteen men left Mal- vern at 10 o'clock tonight and took the trail of the robbers at the scene of the hold-up. Governor Jones announced to- night that be wili offer rewards for the captureof the bandits. It is thousrht that they kave fled towards <a Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble.

Atlanta Constitutiou The Constitution has already drawn attention to the evident pur- pose of the administration to sug- gest a course of duty to thesupreme court in connection with the Porto Rican decision soon tobe rendered. The declaration that if the su- preme court decides against the holding of territory without the constitution, the islands would have to be abandoned, was so pronounced a threat that even a Republican organ like the Boston Transcript is forced to denounce it. The Tran- script holds thac— It is questionable propriety on the part of both the congress coip- mittee chairman and the chief ad- ministrative organ to take such an aititude pending the court’s decis- ion. Jt looks like an attempt to in- fluence, at least indirectly, the bigh- est tribunal in theland with respect to aquestion that ought to be set- tled soon, and settled right. What that right is we believe the members of the court can inform us better than any member ofcongress or any newspaper. The point made by the Transcript is good but loses weight from the fact that the newspaper talks one way and votes another. The su-. preme court should be above any suggestion, but the Republican par- ty is not above making it. The very men who regard a criticism of court-made injunction law as treason are the ones who would step around to the side entrance of the supreme court and pass in a whisper, NAS 53 .
