The signifi cance of the strength favoring reci procity, as already shown, and the meaning of this strength, as already shown, and the meaning of this strength in future tariff revision bat tles la very ablj' commented upon by the Philadelphia Record: ■ An analysis of the heavy vote of the senate on Monday againet the Cummin® amendments la of interest in revealing the weakness of the op position to f'ciprociay and the hete rogeneous elements romposing the majority These amendments in pro- 'iding for revision of almost the whole tariff offered great inducements to the senate democrats, who In ordi nary conditions would have gladly ac cepted thorn But the democratic Benators had the wisdom to resist th:s temptatiou and adhere to the po- finon of the house to permit no ri ders to endanger the reciprocity bill if they co\ild help Tt.

The next thing you know the people of Green.'^boro wMll be doing the sani#» tiiitist. The Greensboro Record strongly approves Charlotte’s courfre in tap ping the Catawba river for its water supply: Charlotte is losing no time in pre paring to tap ( atawhji river for its water supply, in whlrh laudable en deavor the city is showing commen dable wisdom. This thing of tap ping small streams aijd creeks will do for a season, but the only prop er course i» to go to a river and it ought to be a big one. too.” The governor of Virginia believes that the God who sent manna to the children of Israel will hear the pray ers of his children today, and he issued a proclamation asking all ChristIan.H to pray for rain.

The Asheville GaBette*New8 com ments at length upon the war Just now being waged In thl& state upon the hookworm. “The hookworm commlBsion of the North Carolina board of health is willing and anxious to furnish free literature on the hookworm disease, and all that is necessaiv Is to apply to the board by letter at Raleigh. "The commission’s fund for treat ment of the disease in North Carolina has been exhausted, how'ever, a lim ited plan of free treatment is in op eration. Three dispensaries and one hospital for this treatment were open ed this week. Previously there had been 21,000 victims treated. A large number of counties asked for the dis pensaries, offering to provide the fi nancial aid. btit the work is to begin in only four, as but four physicians are available to direct the county campaigns. The counties securing the first dispensaries are Robeson, Samp son. Columbus and Halifax. After four to SIX weeks the work will be moved on to the next counties which have provided the necessary funds. Four or five accessible, widely sep arated places, usually school houses, will be selected for the dispensaries. The hospital plant is a tent with cots, where patients may stay over night. “It Is evident that the people of North Carolina are In sympathy with this work, and that its value has been sutflciently demonstrated to secure popular endorsement. Th^ attitude of the medical profession as a whole convinces the layman.” The hookworm disease Is no longer a matter of ject. Facts, undeniable and irrefutable, show that this dis ease Is widely prevalent In our state; that It Is easily and inexpensively treated and cured, and that It works great harm, and Is conducive to oth er and more serious trouble, unless checked. Kvery one should co-operate with those engineering the fight against this disease. The Greensboro Record wants to know, “WTiat office will Judge Gra ham go after next?” It does appear to be a habit, doesn’t It? "The Flyless Baltimore” is the latest slogan In that city, and it is a good one. Castro refuses to go the way of tha discarded. FROM OTHER SANCTUMS Wedding Code of a Divorce. An early wise and disillusioned Bos ton divorcee has recognized the duty incumbent upon her to give her femi nine friends, less experienced in the ways that lead to the divorce court, some rules to be observed before en tering upon matrimony. As a good dinner Is a great promoter of recep- tiveness and a great aid in digesting certain kinds of wisdom, these words of counsel were preceded by that pleasant function: Pick out your ow’n husband. Don't let your mother’s advice force you to marry. Marry the man you love, provided he has a good disj)osltion. Don't marry until you are out of your teens. If after marrying you find you are Ill-mated, by all means get a divorce. So young and so wise I It is not often that at the mature age of twen ty-two a divorcee can thus lay down a code of niles on marriage for the guidance of her sex. Mere man has often tried it and as often failed and been led to conclude with Shake speare that ‘ marriage comes by des tiny." In modern times, however, the marriage arrangements of destiny are subject to review In the divorce court, and we fear that no code of rules, how ever skillfully devised, will prevent at least an occasional resort to that refuge of disillusionment.—New York World.

New York, .luly 13.—About one thous/and firemen, stewards and oilers of the Ward line steamers were called out again toda.v following the rejec tion of terms offered by the compan.v to its striking employes.

Raleigh, July 13.—A pardon is granted by Governor Kitchin for John Austin, of Catawba county, serving eight months on the roads for aband onment. He has served two months. More than a month ago earth caved in on the prisoner and broke his leg. It seems now that amputation will be necessary and it is on account of this misfortune that has come upon him that the pardon is granted. Abandonment was the offense for whldh he was sentenced. E. L. Travis, of Halifax, assumed yesterday the duties of corporation commissioner to succeed the lamented Henry Clay Brown, he having receiv ed his commission last evening from Governor Kitchin and gone at once before Superior Court Judge W. R. Allen, of Goldsboro, to take the oath of office. Thle was in the office of ex- Governor Chas. B. Aycock and in thep resence of a number of close friends. Mr. Travis was warmly greeted it the offices of the commis sion this morning by Chairman Frank lin McNeill and Commiseioner W. T. Lee and by Secretary A. J. Maxwell and his corps of clerks. The full com mission now settles down to the ar duous task of delving into the corpo ration returns and the returns of the county tax assessors for the assess ment of railroads and other public service corporations, corporate ex cess taxations and the review of property tax assessments the state over, the latter work being in thifcr capacity as state tax commission. The next sixty or ninety days will be fraught with especially hard work for the commissioners. In the tax as sessment work this is the regular Quadrenial period fot the re-assess ment of railroad property and of real estate the state over, thus greatly multiplying the work of the commis sion this year as compared with oth er and off years. Mr. Travis has served four terms as state ^enator, has been twelve years a member of the state democratic executive com mittee since the 1898 campaign. He was one while chairman of the board of directors of the state’s prison. Two charters were issued yester day, The Mangum-Morris Co., Dur ham, capital $10,000, by L. R. Man- gum, J. B. Morris and others. And the Hub Hardware Co., or Farmville, Pitt county, capital $3,000, by T. F. Thorne and others. A delegation consisting of ex-Judge W. S. O’B. Robinson, George E. Hood, J. D. Langster and others, was here yesterday appealing to Governor Kitchin for the pardon of David Raines, who is serving a twelve months sentence for the betrayal of a young woman in Wayne county. Four North Carolina counties—Rob eson, Sampson, Columbus and Hali fax, now have temporary dispensa ries and hospital service for the treatment of hookworm disease un der the direction of Dr. John A. Fer rell. For each of these dispensaries there is a hookworm specialist and a laboratory man so that the exami nations as to the presence of the hookworm and the treatment for the elimination of thep est from the sys tem can be administered to all com ers close by their homes. It is ex pected that in this w^ay large num bers of patients will be reached that would not be reached in the ordinary process of the campaign. The coun ties enjoying this special arrange ment for the treatment of the dis ease have to make appropriations to ward the maintenance of the dispen saries. Other counties are taking stops to avail themselves of the ben efits of the arrangement. Ex-Governor Charles B. Aycock con cluded his closing argument for the defendant yesterday morning in the great million two hundred thousand dollar damage suit of Ware-Kramer Tobacco Company and thereafter Judge H. G. Connor began his yharge to the jury, his to be concluded dur ing the afternoon session. Then the jury will take the case after sitting through evidence and arguments for four and a half weeks. Raleigh w^as visited last evening by a copious rain with indications that the severe drought that has for several days seriously threatened the city’s water supply, is a thing of the past. Raleigh has an estimated normal water supply of three millions gallons per day but it has dwindled to .500,000 gallons. Raleigh’s normal and increasing dally requirements for wa ter are upwards of a million gal lons. The fact is, according to the view of the leading citizens here, that this city has really reached the limit of its available water supply and more capital must be put in the wa ter equipment for bringing more wa ter from the Yadkin river to meet the requirements. The supply now comes from Walnut creek close by the city. The ball player with the highest batting average isn’t always sluggish in his movements.
