It U wall recognized that Mr. Stevong will be the real king of Korea and will be la a poet such as no American has ever filled. Nor Is any particular surprise manifested at his selection. Giving all due credit to the Japanese ministers who bare served here, men well acquainted with his relations to Japansss diplomacy In Washington say that this diplomacy bus been that sf Stevens rather than of tbe minister* themselves. It has not escaped notice here that one reason for hlu selection by the mikado has undoubtedly boen that Japan proposes to do all possible to haw this governnwat as favorably disposed as may bs toward ths com plete predominance of Japan In Korea.

M CAPITOL OF THE STATE Items of Interest Gathered from Over the State by our Raleigh Correspondent Raleigh, N. C , Sept. 19. 1904 1 An interesting propositi that ia now advanced, anJ which will be a leading subject of :iscussion for next three months, is: Who will be elected Speaker of the House of Representatives? At present there seems to be a widespread snd growing sentiment favoring the election of Person county's distinguished son, Col. John S.Cunningham, who has been unanimously nominated by the Per son county Democrats to represent them in the next House. Colonel Cunningham is one of the most popular and able men in the Mate, an experienced legislator and par lamentarian, the largest tobacco farmer in the South a representa tive business man—and he would make a fine presiding officer, if he acceds to the wishes of his friends and admirers and becomes a cadi date and is elected to this important and honorable office. The natne of two other able gen tlemen are also being mentioned, Messrs. Guion of Craven, and Gra ham, of Granville, but I am not authoritatively informed whether they will a-tively enter the contest for the place. The Raleigh Evening Times np peared Saturday evening in enlarged form, in a new dress and under n w management. Saturday's paper was a it page beauty, filled with live telegraphic and lo al and general news, editorials and attractive ad vertisements, and the regular daily edition will hereafter consist of six seven-column pages, 4a columns '1 he owner of the paper, Hon. John C. Drewry, who is not only one of the most successful business men in the State, but a particularly able and entertaining writer, is now for the first time, devoting a portion of his time to ment of the papePtTbusiness, and will also contribute to its editorial 'columns. Maxwell Gorman has been made the managing editor of the Times and in addition to his other duties as such will have direct charge of the local, telegraphic and general news columns, with competent as sistance. Mr. Caddell remains as an editor ial writer, but will spend much ol his time in traveling in the interest of the outside circulation of the pa per, it being the purpose and de termination of the management to build up a large State cirulation. Mr. E. A. Womble is the active business manager, in char e of the advertising and ciitulation depart ments in which he has had long and successful experience. Three editions of the Times are now printed each afternoon, catch ing all the out going mail?, a' 1 thus reaching a I section of the State the same evening it is printed and giving its State subscribers to day's news today, including a fine telegraph service. The new building, just erected expressly for the purpose in the very heart of the district of the city and equipped with a new $7,000 perfecting power press, Mergen thaler typesetting machines and all other modern improvements (in cluding the handsomest editorial rooms and business office in the Stafe) is one of the best equipped new paper plants in the South— and the Kaleigh Evening Times has a great and useful Jhlure before it. Governe Aycock is now in the State of Maine, in response to an investigation extended by the State authorities, delivering a number o r addresses—largely of an educatioa al nature The New England •Yan kees'(so many of whom are dense ly ignorant of the true South and unacquainted with the real charact er of Southern men of the better and representative class) will re ceive a better impression of our people through their intercourse with Governor Aycock and reverse >th ir estimate of this section of our common country. Dr. Raker, of Tarboro, who was charged with the murder of Dr. Bass, of that place, and whose case went to the jury Saturday evening, was aquitted. the jury returning its verdict yesterday (Sunday) after noon. The noted "free pass" case has just been argued in the supreme court for the third time. This is the case in which Editor McNeill, of Carthage, sued ihe Dur ham 4 Charlotte Railroad Company for damages sustained while he was traveling on a free pass that had expired. It has come to be one of the m. st noted cases litigated in North Carolina for quite a while. It ha- had two jury trials, $5,000 da n ages being allowed the first time and $4,000 the second. On the first appeal the supreme court held with the railroad company and or dered a new trial and then the next time the case came up, the lower court having rendered another verdict for the railroad company, this time for $4,000, the supreme court affirmed the findings of the lower court Then there was a mo tion to rehear the case that was al lowed and the lower court again af firmed. Then during the last term there was another motion, this time for the rehearing of a rehearing and this was granted and the argument set for the foot of the docket from the third district, despite the fact that the case is from the eighth dis trict. United States Senator Simmons, in speaking of the conference he is to have with Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island, at Beaufort this week concerning the possibilities of im provement of that harbor, states that he believes it possible with a moderate appropriation to make Beaufort the third best harbor on the Atlantic coast, only New York and Norlolk surpassing it. He says a moderate appropriation will pro vide a 25-foot channel and an ade quate amount will give at least 35 feet draft He says Beaufort can easily be the grcateet harbor south of Hatters on the Atlantic coast. The New York Evening Post, which appearently thinks it is giv ing strong and sincere support to Parker and Davis, notes that the only referenc to the race question in President Roosevelt's 1 -Iter of a cepteance i& in the shape of a re port. Aan our opponents deny that there at home the princples of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend ments have been in effect nullified?'' 'I hat brief interrogation refers to a great fact that was fully accom plished long years before f Mr. Roosevelt sin-reeded to the Presi dency; but, ignoring that, and many other facts in this connection the Evening Post goes on after this fashion: "Well if so why has he done nothing about it? Why did he not, as it was his sworn duty, call the attention of Congre.-s to the matter, and ask for appropriate legislation? The Republican p!atform speaks of reducing the representation of the South. Is the Piesident for that, or for doing anything? He does not say.'' Just three yeais ago, upon Mr. Roosevelt's assumption of the of fice and duties forced upon him by the assination of President McKin ley he made a patriotic and highly commended announcement of poii. tics by which his administration Continued on fourth page Bieklii's Arnica Silts Has world-wide fame for mar velous cures.
