Arrangement are beiog made at Jacksonville, Fla., for a "Southern Stockmen' - Convention," March 82nd. , The Stab hopes North Carolina, and especially the eastern part of the State, will be fully represented at that contention. We are con vinced that It will bo of untold ad vantage to tbe south and our peo pie should not miss tbe opportunity to be there to get an insight to an industry that is bound to be another source of wealth in the South. Wo reiterate the importance of having representatives from eastern Carolina at the Jacksonville conven tion. This section of. North Caro Una is peculiarly adapted to cattle raising, and we desire in thisconnec tion to again call attention to the ad dress on this question delivered here a couple of years ago by Dr. George T. Winston, president of the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanio Arts, of Raleigh. That address was delivered by Dr. Winston, upon invitation of the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce, which, in a spirit of pro groasivenesi that was extremely praiseworthy, adopted tbo policy of inviting leaders in thought to come to Wilmington aud deliver addresses In line with the query, "What can be done to develop the resources of Etern North Carolina?" Ur. ninston selected as his topic for iliscussiou tl.c HJprubillty Of Eastern North Carolina for cattle raising.. He made a great speech He had been deeply impressed with the advantage of East Carolina for this branch of industry and made it clear that it was one of the unde veloped but promising resources of this portion of theUtate. His ad dross made a deep impression here and it ought have caused a great awakening on the question through out this section. Wo do not despair yet that this address will lead to splendid results in our part of the best and most admirably situated State on the South Atlantic. Cattle raising will add to the di versity of our industrial underlet ings, and that our section is adapted to this industry Dr. Winston made - plain by a thoughtful and careful investigation of our advantages. He left no doubt but that our mild cli mate, with its short and not vigor ous winters, was a primo advantage. and a conspicuous and strikingly peculiar condition favorable to sue cess is the unequalled grazing which can be had here. Not only are the lands suitable for prolific and early crops of cultivatable grasses, but tho natural grazing afforded by our savannas, bays, bottoms and cane brakes is unequalled. This latter - assertion has been demonstrated by experience, and we need only to call attention to the fine cattle which came to the Wilmington market some years ago from Samp son county. These cattlo were fat tened alone in the bays and cane orates, ana no beer that comes here from the West excelled, in deed if itponld .equal, tho Sampson county product. In fact, as long as the supply lasted, buyers of beef would have nothing else, but long ago tho supply has not equalled the demand and we aro living on West ern beef brought here in refrigerator cars. Florida has in the past few years gone into the cattle raising business for tho Cuban market and tbe cattle ranches in that State have proven a pronounced success. . Tho condi tions here for fattening cattle aro like those in Florida, and this is but au instanco which shows that Dr. Winston knew what bo waa talking about when he delivered his practi cal and superior addres3 in Wilming ton. While Florida is developing her cattle raising resources to supply the Cuban market, East Carolina has a still wider market in Washing ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and other Northern cities. North Carolina is the first State south of New York that has right at its doors what stockmen now consider most . suitable In grazing and feed products for fat tening cattle. Then, again, we are near the markets, a point in illustration being that our straw berry growers for the last ten years have been shipping their berries to New York one afternoon and get ting returns for tho sales in less than twenty-four hours. May we not hope to see the day when this will be a great cattlfl raising region, with great abattoirs and packing houses, with Hues of refrigerator cars carrying beef and meat pre-1 aucts to the near by markets? If I not, why not? If you are anyways skeptical of the resources in North Carolina for tho cattle industry, read below an extract from the editorial columns of one of the leading papers in the -country of the "long horn cattle." Jt Li from the Houston, Texas, .Chronicle and is as follows: Tn possibilities for great Industrial .dives j ; ia Texas have always been unusual, and to tome respects she has oeen mere western man southern ; no Jab! j in ter e?CiV i!t;g. Up 10 this time tbe Gulf Blatas. be-s,f excepted, have not undertaken to develop any branch of the stock bualneu save that whlcb pertainea to tne awry oreeas. But tbe recettt call for a Southern Siockweo's convention at Jackson- vine. Fit.. March 22nd. would Indicate that a new Industry ia to be Inaugura ted there. For some time exoerimenU have been conducted at one of the Louisiana stations, with a view to thoroughly testing and esiaollshlng toe oesi methods of fattening eaule for the market which Includes of course the question of time and expense. A car load or oeevea snippea recently to Chicago from the station were rated as Al In every respect, ana easily neia their own in competition with cattle from all sections of the West and Southwest. Better than all, the cost of producing them was small enough to leave margin for handsome profit. This object lesson serves to convince the most skeptical mat there is money In cattle-raisins? In redone where the conditions once precedent to tbe lim itless ranges or old times are not pos sible. It has already opened the eyes of the Chicago packers to tbe opportu nities for profit la the business in new localities, under Intelligent and pro gressive methods, and the practical re sults have been so satisfactory and vlncing as to Induce a syndicate of these gentlemen to purchase a large body of land In Southwest Georgia and Southeast Alabama for cattle- ralslnr. The acreage secured Is suffi cient to Insure adequate iange for thousands of heads of stock, and la situated In the pjne land belt, a section which under the old methods woum never have oeen selected ror pastu rage. Along wltu tue pine grows tne wire grass, a family to which the Ber muda belongs, and this will provide the s-razmr necessary. But grazing to-day forms a email part of the up to date ration prescribed by science for beef cattle. ' Fortunate ly the climate and soil of the Gulf states, it is found, Is especially adapt ed for producing tbe requisite rood- stuffs, and under the Intensive system. now thoroughly understood and pur sued, tbeie are varied, inciuaing tue bvoroducls of cotton, muomaiie. stock pea, leoient, or Guatemala trass and others. Tbe laif. a very im portant and remunerative rorage piant has been Introduced and cultivated successfully in the far South, where the soli Is humid. , Tho Stab hopes to see not only the dalrvmen but the farmers of East Carolina well represented at Jacksonville. Whether a man has a head or a half dozen cattle, he can learn to make them profitable only by posting himself as to the best methods of feeding and carry- lag for cattle. This the promoters of the convention will be prepared to demonstrate to those who go to Jacksonville, for there will be ex perts on band to illustrate practi cally the results of recent and suc cessful experiments. Results which have revolutionized the bid time theories, not only as to methods but localities where the cattle In dustry may be promoted to success, will be shown. t The Jacksonville Board of Trade inaugurated the movement, and an nounces that addresses will be made not only by practical stock breeders, but by educators, along the same lines. The movement has the en dorsement of Florida's commissioner of agriculture and the State Fair Association, as well as the Florida Agricultural and Horticultural as sociations. japan is receiving numerous ap -r " a m plications from Americans and Englishmen to be allowed to serve the Mikado as officers or privates in the army, or as officers,, gunners or fighters in the navy. It is curious to observe how many men regard themselves as targets for powder and shot, though they have no spe cial principle to fight for. Perhaps they naturally like to scrap, but no doubt it is notoriety and "glory" that most of them are after. It is said that the ratification of the Panama canal treaty on Tues day clinches a fee of 12,000,000 for William Nelson Cromwell.'of New York, one of the best known cor poration lawyers in the United States. He was the general coun sel of the French Panama Canal Company. A cablegram states that Russia has decided not to give exequaters to Roosevelt's recently appointed consuls at Manchurian points. It looks like China ought to be the party consulted. The consuls are on the way there and the Washing ton authorities are considering what I Is to be done about it. J udge Parker is said to have a lit erary bureau but his preBS agent does not seem to be working North Caro- I una. Perhaps he has already had the thing promised to him by some body who can come very nearly de livering the goods. Cablegrams from Hong Eong and Canton say it is rumored that the Chinese empress dowager is dead. Lake as not somebody has carried her off in a tow sack during a dark night. ' Mr. Small Potatoto is bobbing along as usual and most likely to float into some office so much too large for him that he will constant ly be tumbling all over the bottom. If Russia can't put up any better scrap than she is doing Bhe ought to keep off the grass and keep the road clear for land grabbers as can grab I and fight off the other grabbers. $100 Reward, $1,00.

Estimated Tkat 2.0M Veils of Electricity Passe TbroBtb His Bedy While Em g exed la Trimming Arc Lamps at Preit tad Dock Streets. Writhing In agony and clinging to apparatus heatily charged with elec tricity, Helvln .Home, a young man employed as a lamp trimmer by the Consolidated Railways, Light and Power Company, narrowly escaped electrocution at southwest corner of Front and Dock streets yesterday shortly before nooo. Miraculously enough, however, he escaped death, but tbe Injuries he received will likely follow him to the grave. The palm of his right hand is badly burned, his left thlghjs badly charred and be has two or three other slight Injuries on hla arm. As soon as possible after the ac cident he was taken In the ambulance to tbe Jamea Walker Memorial Hos pital, where he was reported aa resting comfortably last nlgbt The burns In the young man's hand will probably Impare the use of two or three of his fingers for life, but tbe burns about the thigh and on other parts jof the body will likely not result seriously. Young Home is held In tbe highest esteem by the company. Soon after the killing of Joe Meier by a car on the suburban line laat Summer, he aaked to be relieved of duty on the cars and was given a position In the lighting department of the company, having been employed for some time to trim the arc street lamps of the city. Yesterday be was. on his regular rounda and at Front and Dock be climbed a pole to lower the lamp there and to place It in readiness for the night's lighting. He went up the pole IS feet or more and resting bis feet on tbe spikes on the pole he sat down on the Iron awning bar over the door of the store of Mr. Geo. W. Penny. Having lowered the lamp be took bold of the live carbon In the burner and In an Instant, the circuit having been made, two thous and volts of electricity shot through his body enough to kill tbe ordinary man. But Providence seemed kind to young Home and he was thrown back on the awning, which, fortunately, happened to be lowered. He was un able to turn loose only for the briefest period also the consequences might have bsen fatal. His clothes caught on fire and the sizs'lng, sickening noise made by the electricity In contact with human flesh attract ed the attention of passers-by. Hla clothing on fire, he lay on the awning a moment when a sailor rush ed up the awning frame and brought the young man to the sidewalk. His suffering waa intense and he la aaia to have begged several to knock him dead in order that his misery might be ended. The ambulance was soon on the scene in response to a telephone summons and Dr. Akerman, the sur geon In charge, made the injured man more, comfortable until be could be gotten to the hospital. He was an eonadous only a abort time. Hla cloth ing was still on fire when he was laid upon the sidewalk by the sailor, who heroically went to bia rescue. The accident was probably due to a wire on the lamp crowing a lire wire on tbe same circuit. When Home took hold of the carbon he completed the circuit and all the arc lights were turned on.

I THE C0AST' f m STR,KERS - Oesersl .Waaages . sTealy Corrects False : Imprenslos as te Appointment cf a NegroOther News of Trouble. From the beat information obtaina ble, the strike of the maintenance of way employes of -the Atlantic Coast Line la gradually wearing itself out. In a majority of instances competent men have been secured to take the places of those who still remained out in face of the appeals of the company and so far there has been but little, if any, interference with the regularity of traffic. General Manager John B. Kenly says that on the entire first di vision of the system there are not ex ceeding 15 vacancies and those are beiog filled as fast as possible. Neither side to tbe strike, so Tar as it concerns the leaders, appears to have given way and the railroad people say .the condi tions are very favorable to them. President Jno. T. Wilson, of the I. B. M. of W. E... recently addressed a lengthy circular to strikers, one para graph of which, aa follows, has been replied to by General Manager Kenly, Tlx: "According to advices, the company hs only been able to find one colored man who could be Induced to take a place deserted by a white foreman, and the guilty negro is Green Robin son, of Fayettevllle, N. O., who took charge of Section 9 at that place, and he had not been in the employ of the company for three years previous to the time the strike took place. This should be accepted as positive proof that tbe company will use any one without regard to race, creed or color in their efforts to defeat you, who will degrade themselves becoming tools la their hands." The answer of Mr. Kenly is as fol lows: Wilmington, N. 0., Feb. 24, 1904. To the Maintenance of Way Em- Floyes: note that Mr. John T. Wilson In his circular No. 3, dated February 22nd. states that he baa been informed that a negre aectlon foreman has been put in charge of Section No. 9, near Vayetteville, N. C I desire to say that Mr. Wilson has been misinformed. There Is absolute ly no truth In the report. It has al ways been the policy of this company to appoint its section foremen and other foremen from the ranks of Its deserving and competent white men, and this policy will always be contln ed. J. R. Kenly, Fourth Vice President and General Manager. General Manager Kenly has taken up the matter of the, brutal assassina tion of the young section master Mur ray, below Savannah, night before last, and the Coast Line will probably announce to-day a large reward for the perpetrator of the deed. The Savannah ATeu?s of yesterday in Its ac count of the tragedy saya- "Mr. Murray was the only section boss between Savannah and Waycrois who did not join the strikers, and he had been repeatedly warned by anony mous messages to qutt woik and join the strikers. This he persistently re fused to do, and -on two occasions had words with some of the strikers who were disposed to criticise him openly." TH6 SMALLPOX SITUATION. No New Cues Yesterday sed all Patients Fsst Rccoverlsg'-sdjsceat Coaatles. There were no developments in the smallpox situation yesterday and all the patients were reported to be re covering rapidly. The young man Register, who left , the quarantined residence of Dr. , Anders, yesterday wrote bis brother from Ellzabethtown that he was doing all right and had experienced cot the least fear of the disease. Vaccination In the city Is going on rather rapidly, though there is no alarm, a majority of the people appearing entirely indifferent to the situation. The Clarkton Express of yesterday says: "Tbe health authorities report thus far fourteen esses of smallpox In Bladen county, with two deaths. The two that died both had the confluent type, one being the hemorrhagic or 'black smallpox' variety. The other twelve had the discrete type and some few cases were so mild that It was called chlckenpox by the neighbor s, notwithstanding the fact that tbe severe type and light form were both caught from the same person. These cases are all well or convalescent. There hss only been one case any where near Clarkton and that one was quarantined before it bad fully devel oped, nearly three weeks ago." Ealeigh News and Observer, Feb. 23rd: The reoole of Ealeiirh were glad for the third time to give welcome to Mr. Wm. J. Bryan who spent Sunday and Monday in the capital. Coming as a private citi zen, visiting personal friends, and lecturing npon a theme worthy of the pulpit, he has received as cordial a welcome aa when he came among us the standard bearer of a great party. His visit had no political significance. To his friends he was, as always, free in the expressions of his convictions upon questions of public policy, but the influence of his addresses will be long felt as a force for civic righteousness. With out cant, he stands forth as a great apostle of national and political honor. His address before the Y. M. C. A. on Sunday after noon was a great address upon the greatest theme that has ever en gaged the attention of man. His brief speech to the pupils of the A. & M. College at their dinner yester day was as wholesome and nplif ting as it waB eloquent. At the Metro politan Hall last night, to a packed house, Mr. Bryan spoke on The Value of an Ideal." It was a mighty arraignment of the preva lent desire to eet somethlnor fnr nothing, of the soecnlativA cram. bling that curses our country more to-day than ever In its history, of the political dishonesty and money worship that assail our national and individual integrity. But it was more than that. It was the voice of a patriot who loves his country, appealing to the manhood of the country, to square, their conduct and their views by the highest ideals.

Prealaeat la Affslrs of Besisess, ifearcb aad CeaatryStaosch Frleid of the Confederacy aid Leading Mesa ber of VeterseY Society. Mr. Solomon Bear, one of Wilming ton's most prominent, wealthy and highly esteemed Hebrew citizens, passed away at his home, No. 116 North Fifth street, yesterday morning at 9 o'clock after an illness of several days with acute heart disease. While the announcement of Mr. Bear's death was not entirely unexpected, it wai received by hundreds of friends and acquaintances In the city with the ut most regret He was a man of splen did qualities, shrewd In business, kind in disposition, charitable to a fault. upright, honest and fair in his every dealing with his fellow man. To his church, his family and friends he waa strongly devoted and his loss to them and to the community at large will be greatly felt He had been In feeble health since the death of hla brother, the lamented 8amuel Bear, Sr., last August, but not until the past few days was it known that he was near to death's door. The nlgbt before he died he conversed with members of his family and friends and made a beautiful toast in honor of bis uephew, Mr. Henry Clay Bear and his bride, who bad just been married. LONG AND USEFUL CAREER. Mr. Bear was born at Oettertbavien, Province of Bavaria, Germany, on March 16th, 1834, and at the time of his death was In tbe 70th year of his age. He came to North Carolina in 1853. and soon after locating In Wil mington, when a mere boy, began the dry goods business on Market street. In 1879 at the same location he opened a large wholeaale liquor establish ment under the firm name of Boh Bear &Co., and was engaged there until the time of his death. The firm enjoyed the unique distinction of .be ing the longest la existence under a single! proprietorship of any In the city. Mr. Bear's business career was highly successful and he leayes an es tate worth many thousands. HIS SERVICE TO CONFEDERACY. During the Civil War he was a gal lant Confederate soldier, but his health waa not such as would permit of very active service. On April 15lb, 1881, he enlisted as a corporal in the Ger man Volunteers or this city, which, with three other companies from Wil mington, went to Fort Caswell and took possession. Mr. Bear was not strong enough to do marehing.and du ring the Fall of 1861 he was trans ferred to a cavalry company command ed by Capt William O. Howard, of Wilmington. He served with con spicuous devotion to the Confederacy In that command, for twojyeara but on account of disability In 1863, he was detailed ton hospital in Richmond, Va , known as the United States Hotel Hospital, were he seryea as a messen ger until Nov. lOih'1884, when, on ac count of ill health, he was discharged from the army and. upon application of Governor Vance and Gen. Whit ing, he was given permission by Sec cretary of War Sedden, to go to Europe for his health. On Nov. 20th 1864, be left Wilmington on a block ade runner and was detailed to pur chase supplies for the Confederacy abroad. Mr. Bear waa a ataunch sup porter of the Confederate cause. On Christmas of 1903, he sent a large do nation of fine wine, cigars and to bacco to hla less fortunate comrades In the Soldiers' Home at Baleish. No one In need ever approached Mr. Bear without finding a warm friend who would give every relief. In token of their appreciation of his unswerving devotion to the Lost Cause, the Daughters of the Confeder acy, called at the residence yesterday and placed upon the bier a laurel wreath, bound with Confederate colors. Mr. Bear was a member of Cape Fear Camp No. 254, United Confederate Veterans, and his com rades of that organization are called to assemble at the W. L. I. armory, in uniform, this afternoon at 3:80 o'clock for the purposi of attending the funeral In a body. The obsequies will be conducted at 4 o'clock from the family residence and the remains will bs laid to rest In Oakdale cemetery. IH BIS FR1TATE LIFE. Mr. Bear waa one and the last to pass away of five brothers who came to North Carolina before the war. Of the immediate family a sister, Mrs. J. Fernberger, of Germany, now sur vives.

The points at present connected by the system are Wilmington, South- port, Cronly, Councils, Lake Wacca- maw, Bogue, Whiteville, Cbadbourn, Clarendon, Cerro Gordo, Boardman, Clarkton, Blsdenboro and Elizabeth- town. A metallic circuit has already been put in from Wilmington to Soutbport and from Wilmington to Cronly. Tbe construction force is now working from Cronly and will first complete the metallic circuit to Clarkton and then finish up the rest of the lines to the other points previously named. At present conversation can be bad very distinctly with Soutbport and Cronly, but talks with Whiteville, Cbsdbourn and other points in that part of the system are so Indistinct that the central at Cronly has to repeat them to and from the points not yet reached by tbe metallic circuit.

Barton ef Ohio Moved to Strike Oat Pro vision for a New BatUeshlp The Motion Served as Text far Sev eral Repabllcsa Speeches. By Telegraph to tbe Morning Star. Washington, Feb. 24. The Benate spent the greater part of the day dis cusiiog an amendment to the Agricul tural appropriation bill, striking out the House provision giving authority to the secretary of agriculture to in spect imported food products ' when mlsbAtnded or suspected of Impurity. The amendment was suggested by Mr. Aldrich. He attacked the provis ion on the ground that it opened tbe way for an encroachment by the sec retary of agriculture upon tbe duties or the secretary or the treasury and was calculated tofause a duplication in tne service or tne two officials, lit. AJdrlch was supported in his contention by a number of senators. Including Messrs. Lodge, Beveridge and Patterson. Mr. Proctor, In charge or me bin, uerenaea tne provision and bad the aid of Messrs. Dolliver, Mc- Comas, Bacon and others. This dis cussion was closed by substituting the provision of the act of 1900 bearing upon tbe same point. The consideration of the bill practic ally was concluded, but final action upon it was postponed until to morrow. During the disoussioa Mr. Tillman suggested that the bill be amended In such manner as would transfer the discretion of passing, upon impure foods from tbe secretary of agriculture to the secretary of the treasury. "So far as X am concerned," he said, "I feel perfectly safe so long as the two gentlemen from Iowa, the secretary of tne treasury ana tbe secretary of sgrl culture, arelooklnsr after our stom achs by shutting out Impure food, but i am preparing ior tost time when Iowa has not that matter In charre." Mr. Perkins said that California was much interested In the proper investi gation into tbe purity of imported rooas, ana ne mentioned, incidentally. that cotton seed oil waa frequently imported as olive oil This caused Mr. Tillman to ask whether olive oil was any sweeter or better than cotton seed oil, and Mr. Perkins replied that while cotton seed oil might suit the Italian taste and of some people, be insisted that the article should be properly labelled, "Does the senator know California champagne from the European arti cle t" asked Mr. Tillman, and Mr. Per kins replied: "If the senator from South Carolina will bring on the sam pies I will let him know." This caused a laugh at Mr. Tillman's ex pense, and Mr. Perkins added that if be should ever "take anything stronger than coffee he would not be disloyal to tbe products of his own State." A resolution offered bv Mr. Daniel. directing the Committee on Judiciary to inquire into the expediency of en acting a law "proYidins? seainst tbe acceptance, holding or receipt of the pay, allowance or emolument of any executive office, agency or commis sion by a senator or representative in Congress while serving as such sen ator or representative," was adopted. Tbe senate adjourned until to morrow. rioase of Representatives. Two storm centres were encountered In the Naval Appropriation bill, which was the continued obj-ct of discussion In the House to day. First, the Great Lakes training station went out of the bill on a point or order after a wordy battle at the beginning of the dsy.snd the building programme proposed in tbe bill was then submitted to criticism and blocked further progress of tbe measure for the day.
