THUKS1)A. AutfusT 4th. 1904' iX iX. LONDON. Editor. ingdf tfte N6rth XiJatormA Press As"sdcitfti6H was held last week at the Atlantic Hotel at Morehead XJiiy, and Was much enjoyed by all H6 Velre so fortunate as to be present. These annnfcl meetings 'enable the editors to become bet ter acquainted with each other and 'to exchange friendly 'greetings in Bocial converse. The programme 'of exercises was both enterUinmg( and instructive That which attracted the most at tention and largest audience was the address of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee in behalf of the proposed James town exposition. He paid many pleasant compliments to North Carolina and was especially com plimentary of North Carolina's soldiers. He is the most distin guished survivor of the Army, ot Northern Virginia and of course -attracts much attention wherever Jhe goes. He is remarkably well .'preserved both mentally and phys ically, but is quite corpulent. He has shaved off his flowing beard, but wears a grey mustache and his face is very florid. His presence recalled many associations of the great war in which he became so "distinguished forty years ago. Dai by day the prospect bright ens for the election of Parker and Davis. There is not much doubt of their carrying the great state of New York, and but for the negro vote in Indiana and Illinois there would be no doubt of their carry ing those states, which would in. sure their election. No man has ever grown more rapidly in public favor than has Judge Parker since his nomina tion. The better he is known the higher he rises in public favor The "Silent Sage of Esopus" not ebly' knows how and when to ob. "serve a discreet silence, but he also knows how and when to speak and what to say. With him as our ' Chief Magistrate our country with all its varied interests will be per eeilysafe. Of him it may be tru 'lyrsaid that Jbeis,"sane and safe," "and this cannot be said of his com tpetitor, who is aptly called "the 1 bronco buster." The Russian Minister of the In ferior was assassinated on last Thursday. While riding in a car riage through the streets of bt. Petersburg, although escorted by several detectives, a small bomb wad thrown under the carriage and instantly killed him and the driver and wrecked the carriage. The assassin was badly wounded, but may recover. This assassination was not un expected, but every precaution had been taken to prevent it, as the minister's life was thought to be in danger all the time on account of his arbitrary and despotic acts. Russia seems to be in a bad way, with nihilists always plotting as sassinations at the seat of govern ment and with an unsuccessful war with Japan abroad. Fatal Car Collision. Westbro, Mass., August 1. A head-on collision between electric tars on the Boston and Worcester Street Railway near the Washing ton Street crossing three miles east of this town today, resulted in serious injury to fourteen per sons one of whom has since died, while the death of a second was momentarily expected. Lad Accidentally Kills Playmate. Special to Charlotte Observer. Greensboro. July 31. Saturday afternoon in Contentnea township, this county, Olie Kittrell, son of C. T. Kittrell, killed Louis Craw ford, son of David Crawford. The bovs. both of whom were about 16 years old, were out together shoot ing at a mark when Jlittreii acci dentally shot Crawford in the head, killing him instantly. Broke his Neck. Special to Horning Poet. Winston-Salem, Is. C, Aug. 1. A middle-aged negro named John Roberson fell down a flight of steps in one of the leaf houses of the R J. Reynolds Tobacco Com pany late this afternoon and broke his neck. He had been dead an hour or more when found. Rober son came here last Christinas from Rock Hill, S. C. New Mexico Train Robbery. El Paso, Tex,, July 31. A train crew which has just arrived with a light engine from Santa Itosa, reports that Rock Island Passen ger Train No. 4, which left El Pa so yesterday morning at 7 o'clock, was held np near Tucumcari, N. M,, and robbed. The passengers were lined up and their valuables were taken from them, after which the express and mail cars were un coupled from the train and run about two miles up the track and there dj'namited and robbed. Electric Storm In N:w York. New York, Aug. 1. Consider able damage was done in widely separated parts of the city during an exciting electrical storm this afternoon. Both flagstaffs on the postoffice in New York were stiuck and a man on the top floor of the building was badly shocked and burned about the arms. A bolt struck a Third avenue elevated structure, near 50th street, ran along and set fire to the sleepers, causing a lively pyrotechnic dis play. It then ran down the pillars to the ground. The big pole on the top of the famous flat iron building at Broad way and 23rd. street was struck, a piece over fifteen feet long being splintered, fragments falling on the sides of the building to the streets far below. Several other flag poles in various other parts of the city were shattered by lightning and many dwelling houses were struck. Several persons were struck but no fatalities resulted. The death of Ex-Governor Rob ert E. Pattison, of Philadelphia, removes one of the most notable . men in the United States. Although a life-long Democrat he was twice (in 1852 and in 1890) elected Governor of the strongest Republican State in the Union. His success was due to his pure private and public character, men of all parties having implicit con fidence in his honesty, which was bo sadly lacking in the corrupt leaders of the Republican party in Pennyslvania. Russian General Killed. St. Petersburg, Aug. 1. The re port of Lieutenant General Count Keller's death is confirmed. He was killed July 29th., while repell ing the preliminary attack on Gen eral Kuropatkin's army on the Yanze Pass, thirty miles east of Liao Yang. The general was standing near a battery which was subjected to a terrific fire, at which a shell burst close to him and he fell, mortally wounded, dying twenty minutes later. Before he expired General Keller had the satisfaction of knowing that the Japanese attack had been repell ed. General Keller was the first high Russian military commander to lose his life in this war. He re signed the high and lucrative pos ition of governor of Ekaterinoslafi to go to the front and exchanged with General Zassalitch, who may now resume the command of the first Siberian army corps. The loss of General Keller is deeply felt in court circles. He was a personal favorite of the em peror. His sister, Countess Kleirn michel, is one of the leaders of St. Petersburg society. A Chicken Thief Shot. Special to Charlotte Observer. Greenville, August 1. Thurs- T 1 xxaruie, a Glenn Another brave ex-Confederate has "crossed o'er the river." After a long sickness Capt Frank Ben nett, of Wadesboro, died on last Saturday. His hravery was attest ed by his armless sleeve, and his chjvouqu to the memory of the "Lost Cause" was attested by his wwuuuw ok an vxjnieaerafce re gions and his untiring efforts behalf of needy comrades. in The Democratic State executive committee has instructed Chair man Simmons to arrange for joint canvass with the Republican candidates for the State offices. We predict that the Republicans will find some excuse for avoiding day night, Mr. farmer living near Guilford Battle ; Ground, heard some one after his chickens. He erot ud. srot his ?un uuwu, auu as ue stepped out on i " a . . ms oacK piazza saw distinctly. man in his chicken-house, the door to which was wide open, init chicken in a bag. He veiled to the thief to "come out of that" but the midnight purloiuer paid no at tention whatever to the wavmusr Instead, he was in the act of plac ing another chicken in the bao-. when Mr. Hardie fired his eruu. The man, with a loud scream.! jumped out of the chicken-house and ran for lite. It beiusr evident that he was unable to make head way, Mr. Hardie, instead of shoot ing again, took after the thief, and caught him in a chase of a hun dred yards. It proved to be Na than EwelL a nero, who had been on the roads several times for lar ceny. He was riddled with shot, from bis shoulders to his knees, and although he was attended by two physicians, he died yesterday morning. There were six chickens in the bag he had attempted to carry away with lutu. Washington Letter. rFrom our Regular Correspondent.! Washington, July 28,1904. Banii? the absence of Congress iiieasures for the improvement ol the city are being energetically pushed, that a good showing of progress may be made when the lawmakers again assemble. Work is going actively forward in the several great public buildings that have been described in these let ters, including the $4,000,000 Union depot, and while the great plans of the Park Commission can not be immediately realized, the water front of the city is beingim proved, and this is a necessary feature of any rehabilitation of the capital. The water front both on the Potomac nud East branch is in a disgraceful condition. It is doubtful if there is a city of its size in the United States which presents so shabby a riparian line. The wharves are mainly built on loose piling, . the buildings are mostly ramshackle sheds, and the slips are so badly filled with de bris as to be unavailable for use except by smaller craft. A new bulkhead wall is needed at once, and stone piers are imperatively required. The two new bridges across the Potomac, one for railroad trains and the other for the highway, are in an advanced stage and in two months trains and traffic will be running over them from shore to shore. They are five hundred feet north of the old railroad bridge, about twice as high above the wa ter, and half a mile long. The railroad bridge is kcown as one of the Pratt trust pattern, and it has twelve granite piers, including the draw span, which latter is 280 feet long, and weighs 600 tons. It will be about twice the size of the old draw. The draw will seldom' need to be opened. The sky over the Republican camp is lowering, owing to the numerous and bitter strikes in progress from Boston to Colorado. The union leaders and walkiug delegates very naturally salute the President with "Come to our res cue! You went outside of your beat to settle the coal strike; now take the employers sternly in hand in Boston, Fall River, New York, Washington, Chicago, Colorado!" What he will do to extricate his party from the dilemma it is dif ficult to see. Even in Washing ton the old question of the trades unions against the government has arisen. A man passed the Civil service examination as bricklayer, and joined the workmen putting up the walls at the new Washing ton War College. The other men asked him for his card, and. finding he was not a member of the union, laid down their tools. The army officer in charire made & little speech to the malcontents telling them that either their rules must be modified or the Constitution of the United States must be amend ed. How the problem Mill be solv ed is doubtful. The 300,000 citizens of Wash ington used last week CG.000,000 gallons a day of water, or 200 gal lons a day for each man, woniau and child in the district. This supply per capita is one of the largest in the United States, and of course indicates tremendous im providence und waste. Relief is now sought by increasing the res ervoir and aqueducts but it cannot be long before it will be sought in water meters compelling the larg est users, or rather waters to pay for all water that they receive be yond a reasonable supply. If the largest consumers were furnished with meters, enough water would be saved to supply fountains iu 1 -a . every part and circle, like the fountains of Rome. Bourko Cockran was here the other day and he vigorously ex pressed the opinion that the voters and tax payers of the United States do care for frugality and do object to extravagant expenditures. He called attention to the fact that not a syllable in the Republi can platform pledges the party to economy and that the Democratic platform demands "the strictest economy and frugality compatible with vigorous civil, military, and na.val administration." During: these years in which the popula tion of the United States has in creased fifty per cent, the expenses of the federal government have increased nearly two hundred per cent. The population has doubled since Grant's first administration. and" the cost of the government has grown four fold. Republican papers are everywhere publishing a statement that the expenditure of the United States government is only half as much as that of France and a third as much as that of Great Britian; but 'they leave out of account the fact that most of our expenditures are state. county and muuicipal, while those of foreign governments are mostly included in the general budget of the central parliament. Including- these, the expenses of the United States are much larger per head th in those of Prance, Germany or England. The race is mov on between Thomas Taggart, of Indiana, as chairman of the National Democra tic Committee., and Mr. Cortelyou, who fills the same place for the Republicans, to determine avIio will make the best campaign or ganizer and lead his party to vic tory. Mr. Taggart is young, vig orous, a great worker, a man of large experiences, and he has faith that the Democratic party will - v ' Will. The Slate Fireman's toUrnanient is being held this .week .at Salis bury." :''kX-;:. The North Carolina N aval Bri gade is to be taken on a two weeks cruise August 7 th., Ex-Judge A. W. Graham, of Granville county, has been nomi nated for reelection to the legislature. At the dispensary election held at Wilmington, on last Wednesday, the saloons won by a majority of two to one. - -The strike situation at Fall Riv er is unchanged; the . American Federation'of Labor has promised to support the strikers. . In 1892 the deposits in the banks of this state amounted to nine and a half million dollars. In 1903 they had increased to nineteen and three-quarter millions, an increase of two hundred and thirty-three per cent, l ,? ' The famous: "correspondent, James Creelman. contributes to the August Review of Reviews character sketch of the Democratic nominee for the Presidency, Judge Alton B. Parker, which is not only a character sketch of the man, but a calm ?and impressive presenta tion of the Democratic case. Mr. Creel man points out Judge Par ker's Ameridanism and judicial training, and shows how, m his opinion, the Democratic nominee should receive the votes of the people. The article is well illus t rated with portraits of Judgre Parker and .his family' and his home, Rosemont, at Esopus, N. Y. a Sick Headache.; .

For sale by G. R Pilkiugton. Taken with Cramps. Wm. Kirmse, a member of the bridge gang working near Little- port, was taken suddenly ill Thurs day night with cramps and a kind of cholera. His case was so severe that he had to have the members of the crew wait upon him and Mr. Gifford was called and consulted. He told them he had a medicine in the form of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy that he thought would help him and accordingly several doses were administered with the result that the fellow was able to be around next day. The incident speaks quite highly of Mr. Gifford's med icines. Elkador, Iowa, Argus. . This remedy never fails. Keep it in your home, it may save life. For sale by G. R. Pilkicgton.
