Wil li. m T rWlra Ttr. strongest man in the race for the Democratic CSongressional nomina tion;. It is to him that the Demo cracy .must look to bring again this district into the Democraticcolumn. , Mr. Crawford, several times re deemed the district; Gudger has , the honor too of redeeming it in . lime ior eitner Mr. ixuager or Mr. Crawford to lead the forces in this district. Mr. Crawford, the most is not offering himself; Mr. Gudger . should not have done so. 4 Cocke and his friends for years supported Mr. Crawford and for years Cocke and his friends sup ported Mr. Gudger, and it was the v devout wish of the district Demo cracy, so far as we have been able to ascertain, that Mr. Cocke should be given a clear held this time, v We know that Hon. William J. Cocke of Buncombe will defeat : John G. Grant - FirstBecanse it would be his first race and victory has usually perched upon , the banner of the "First Race Man." Thomas D. Johnston, Mr. Cocke's uncle, was elected the first time he ran; Ewart, the first time he ran; Moody, the first time he ran; Gud ger, the first time he ran, and Grant the first time he ran. wuw , rm.

He can look into the eve of " and ask his support for he has not c, suxjpea to conquer." This means a united Democracy. This means everything. Not in the entire dis trict has been heard a sirjgle un kind word from William J. Cocke the candidater-or any of his friends. " All glory to such a man. He will be nominated and elected. An - anonymous letter is being widelv circulated to th flW Ua w-ww vuav iuu Democracy of McDowell county is for J. M. Gudger. . We boldly de clare that this county is for Hon. William J.

One hun dred and thirty-three millions of dollars! - - 'Trjr to comprehend the magni. tude of this sum if you can, and then pause and reflect over the fact that it is the amount the Senate has. voted to spend on the navy in A single teak, and in . a time of proiouna peace. Then consider mat only12 years ago, "in 1898, the, naval appropriation was but $33,003,234, or one hundred mil lions less than the amount - appro priated for the coming year? r A fact in connection with this awful increase which' the public seldom hears" is that ev& of this $100,000,000 which is to be 4U excess or tne amount us ia 1898 T comas " fmm not from the rich, but largely from "uiwus men ana women. - It is the ultimate consumer who ;:ys the. battleship bills, who interns attevej'-increasing apny of .

MEETS DEATH ON TRACK Shuford Abernetny Instantly Killed by weswwund rreightat Bridge water and Robert Hodge Probably Fatally Injured. ShufonTAbernethy, a well-to-do lumber dealer of Bridfirewater. while walking along the siding of the bouthern railway - track with Robert Hodge, another resident of Bridgewater, was struck bv freight train Not 72 and cut to pieces by the engine, last night about 7:50 o'clock. Hodge was also struck, and sustained a crushed ankle and injuries about the head, but it is not thought that his injuries are serious. - : According to the reDort received here No. 72, which is an east bound train, ran in on thj siding to allow No. 75, the west bound train, to pass, and It is supposed that the two men were walking down the track with their backs to the com ing train when-the engine struck Mr. Abernethy and knocked him under the wheels. Mr. Hodire is supposed to have either succeeded in leaping out of the way iust in time, or else he was struck and fell out of the way of ; the train. The tram crew claim the train was not going very fast as thev brought the engine to a standstill twenty yards from where the acci dent occurred. Engineer Eagle said, he saw the two men walking up the track, and said he thought they would get off before he reached them, so he rang the bell and blew the whistle. He said the men seemed to be in some kind of an argument or interesting conversation, and apparently did not hear; the whistle, so be blew again, and by this time began put ting on brakes. He said he was going about three or four miles an hour. Mr. Hodge was taken to Ashe ville where his wounds were dress ed at the Mission hospital. The mangled remains of Mr. Abernethy were taken to his home where they were prepared for burial. Abernethy is a native of Hickory and was one of the most prominent men in Burke county, being large ly engaged in the brick and lum ber business. He - was about 40 years old and a widower, his wife having died several years ago. Hodge is a young fellow, unmar ried, originally from Chattanooga and conducts a soft drink stand at unuewaier.

" Thoush Tolcanoes are often spoken' of as burnlof moufitaloa, tbey do not bum at all. nor, io the proper rae of the word, are tbey mountains at ait. Tolcano Is really a Caw In tbe cru-t of tbe earth tbrouch wblcb tbe Ccrve Clowlng beat lyloff below tbe crust tyt managed to burst a bole. Tbroush tbis bole great floods of melted rock spout up. Some. roica ooes work at Inter vals; some are Io eruption sll tbe time. As tbe melted rock Jets op Into tbe sir and falls It naturally buUds Itself Into a mountain round tbe bote. Tbe next eruption baa to bant Its way tbrough tbe besrt of t bat rooaotala. Tbe cblmney It spouts tbrousb Is usu ally called tbe pipe." Bo me times an eruption Is so fierce tbat wben tbe lava (anotber name for melted rock) spouts out It Is burst Into bits. Wben It falls it Is sometimes sa fine as dust, sometimes tbe s!se of cin ders. . Most Tolcsnoes. Indeed, are Day ply gigantic cinder beaps. When tbe force Is not so treat tbe lara lo tbe pipe simply bubbles orer and flows down tbe sides of tbe moun tain, exactly ss porridge bolls orer tbe edge of a pot As lara Is liquid, tbe slope of a Uts volcano (or lara cone, ss It Is usually called) Is always rery gentle. Falling cinders, on tbe otber hand, pile tbemselTes up quite steeply. A lara cone, (ben. Is always less strep tban a cinder cone. And a volcano never burns. What looks like, flame Is only tbe glow of tbe wblte hot lava on tbe .clouds of steam. Tbe more steam tbere Is fore Ing its wsy up tbe pipe tbe more tbe lava bubbles, just ss In tbe esse of tbe porridge. If tbe pressure of steam is very great, tben you bare tbe lava blown to bits sod failing ss cinders, while tbe mighty clouds of steam rise high above tbe mountain.

Sometimes a cone sends out lara and cinders alternately, so tbat yon bare a great mountain of cinders bound to gether by layers snd walls of Isvs. Tbese walls of lsvaare doe to tbe fact tbat sometimes more lara wants to come up tbe pipe than tbe pipe will hold, so the lava bursts its wsy out through wesk spots lo tbe sides of tbe mountain. Etna baa no fewer tbsn 700 of tbese cones on Its slopes. One of them. Monte Rosal Is a bill - Io Itself, being 400 feet high. Indeed, a model of Etna looks ss if it were cov ered wltb pimples.

Its skies being cliff a nearly a mile high lo places. Tbe greatest volcanic eruption ever known took plsce In tbe Last Indies In 1SS3. Tbe story makes almost la credible reading. Tbe volcanic Island of Krakatoa commenced proceedings by blowing half of Itself Into thin air. From tbe opening no less than a cubic mile of rock was shot out. A column of steam and lava dust rose Into the air to a belgbt six times as great as tbat of Mount Everest. It spread and spread till for bondreds of miles around tbe air was black sa mid night. Bounds ss of distant cannonad ing were beard 2.000 miles off. Sea wsves fifty feet high kDfed 33, 000 people and were felt as far off as California.
