' BOONE, WATAUGA COUNTY, K. WASHINGTON LETTER. From , our , Aegular Correspondent ''Th panto of the adminis tration over the situation in Ohio, daily grows worse, and Mr. M'Kinlej tells the Ohio republicans who call on him that the state must be car ried at nil hazards. He sent a trusted personal messn ger to New York , to meei Boss Hanna when he arrived from Em ope to tell him just how bine things look from the administration point o view; also to impress upon him the ne.asity of taking steps to see that plenty o .- . . j money was provided tor use in Ohio. It is probably theta king of these ' "steps" which enured lioss Manna to stop in New York insted of coming direct to Washihgton. The matter has been discussed 'in cabinet incetinus, and two members, Post Master Gen eral Smith and Sectretnry Wilson designated to t h stump. Mr. Wilson will speak mostly in tha agricul tural section, his power of persuasion among farmers being supposed to be wonder ful, while Mr. Smith will talk mostly to city and town au dienees. The ordering Of the Civilian Philippine Commis sioners home was also influ eneed to a certain extent, by the Ohio scare. It is hoped to have the next fighting campaign under way before election day. and the civilian commissioners are gotten out of the way so that Otis can have no excuse for not pushing the fighting. So much for the republican view of the Ohio campaign Lmocrauc connden?a in si. success in Ohio is even great er than the republican fright. if j r t wr. McLean, wno is now in Ohio to remain until after the election, is in constant communication with his Washington friends. He says he feels absolutely certain of being elected Governor, anj tie is not the sort of man to say so without believing it himself. From other sources comes the same sort of news. The democrats are united and enthusiastically confi dent, white the republicans are divided into factions, some of which would rather humiliate BossHanna whom they have never forgiven for the rough shod manner in which he kicked them out of the state machine, to make places for his henchmen than to accomplish any other one thing. There is also much more Ohio republican opposi tlon to the imperialistic poli cy of. the administration, and especially to the bo far unsuccessful war in the Phil ippines, than even the demo crats supposed existed until recently. Much of this oppo sition is silent, and will hard ly result in direct votes f o r the democratic ticket, but it will increase the stay-at-homes on election day, which will be thf next best thing to democratic vote. The object ot a delegation of Washington negroes, in cluding a preacher and sever a 1 ex-office -holders, in call ing ot. the White House, was a reminder of reconstruction days, l ner seem possessed of the idea that Mr. McKin ley has power to interfere with the proposed election law in Nortk Carolina, and they wish him to putaclnnse in his annual message to Con gress, recommending tha the proposed eltction law be declared illegal because of its violation of the 15th amend ment. Mr. McKin ley is a very strong partisan butheknown too mu.-h foattemptto meet the wishes of these negroes evn ii tney were citizens oi North Carolina, instead of be ing meddlers in what in no . a ! way concerns mem. rne 'nig ger' question will never fig. At are 'prominently again in Presidential messages or in Congressional legislation. unconstitutional laws are passed in North Carolina, or in any other state, the peo ple can get them passed up on by the proper legal tribu nal without either the help or hinderancn of the Presi dent or any official connect ed with the executive branch of th government, and the decrees of t hp courts will be obeyed by the people. The Su preme court of the United States alone possesses the power to declare the State laws unconstitutional. Ex Senator Joe Blackburn, who bus been resting a little in Washington, preparatory to returning to returning to the stump, did not give the story that Col. Bryan would not speak in Kentucky, chance to get fairly started, befoie he headed it off by say i ft a t ing: "Mr. liryan. wrote me that he would be glad to speak in Kentucy and would leave the details to me. There was no promise of any num her oi speeches, nor were any definite arrangements agreed upon. I have written him that we will be ready for him any time after the first of Oc tober, and by that time, from present indications the bolting movements in Ken tucky will have dwindled a- way into nothingness, and Mr. Bryan will have a solid democratic party in front of him." The naval officials respon sible for assigning Admiral Schley to the command of the Atlantic Squadron, the most undesirable flag com mand in the Navy, evidently telt a little nit a ma men, as M i . . 1 they took the trouble togive out. statements about the in tention of the Department to increase tne numDerot ves sels in the Squadron, the im portance ol the command in ease ot war witn central or South America, etc. The re al object is probably to get Schley out of reach of inquis itive Congressional Commit tees.

Sticker, ot No. G244 Greenwood avenue Chi rago has hit upon a unique method of exposing how the American to day is held in the tentacles of optopus like trusts. 'Under the head of "Will You Remember the Trusts?" he has issued a card which he is pleased to term '1899 watchword from 1898.' Here is what appea'rs on the card: I sleep on a bedstead made by a $12,000,000 trust. I put on my underwear made by a $30,000 000 trust.

Hereafter no child under twelve years of age will h allowed to work in the East Durham cotton mill. This rule is to go into effect next week. All of t h e mills of the city are now prac tically under one manage ment, and if we are not mis taken this rule already pre vails in the West Durham mills. Good schools are main tained in both Eascand West Durham, and the manage ment of the mills is determin ed that the children at least Bhall have the advantage of them. This action, while it may seem a hardship to some of the parents, is proper, and but justice to the children. A otton mill, or any other mill for that matter, is not a fit place for a child under twelve years old.

Senator Pritchard's negro domination organ, the Ashe ville Gazette, has been hunt ing through Ah mountains to find a man who could be induced to write h letter a- gainsttheconstitutinl amend ment. It has found him in Watauga county and pa rades his letter as the docu ment of a leading democrat. Referring to the uew convert and his letter, the Asheville Citizen says: "But the declaration of this new convert came o u t through the aperture left af ter .swallowing an official teat the size of a brandy gauger. He was paid in ad vance. A brandy gauging job in hand is worth much more thaa the promise of two or three much mo? e re munerative jobs in the fu tuit."

An Evuuston man, says an exchange, not having gone to the war himsell, has felt it his duty to do something for the benefit of the men who are now figting in the Philip pines. Accordingly he has in vented and patented a filter that fits inside a soldier's can teen. If the soldier has time, he can filter his water thro' it into his canteen. If he is rushed for time he can simp ly fill his canteen and then put the filter in place. In this case the liquid will gradually seep through into the filter, from which he canalwajsget a drink of pure water. The inventor claims that with this invention in use half of the danger from climatic dis ease would be avoided. The use of the fan origina- r tea in uiina, ana sprang from the following incident: A royal princess, very beau tiful, was assisting at the feast of lanterns, her face cov ered with a mask, as usual. The excessive heat compelled ner to remove it, and in or der to guard her features from the common gaze, she moved it quickly to And fro in front of her face, thus si multaneously hiding her charms and cooling her brow. The idea was at once adopt ed throughout the kingdom. Catherine de Medici carried the first fan from Italy ever neen in France, and iutimeof Louis XIV. the fan covered with jewels was worth a small fortune. Cincinnati Enqui rer.

Injthe International Maga-.V zine is an account of the Ita I if n patriot, Paola Tibaldi. , who was banished duringthe second Napoleonic empire to the spot that tas lately been thg prison of Dreyfus. "This accursed island," the Italian says, "throughout its extent of five eights o' a mile in length, and 1,640 feet in width, consists almost entire" ly of bare, unfruitful rocks. The arid soil, on which even t he grass withers for lack of nourishment, and only a few scattered bushes grow, thefo liage of which is parched and withered by the pitiless sun, showed the man who was to live there the sufftrings to which he wan doomed." The resident of that island has to fight continually heat prostration and laziness, ev en in themostscorchingdays for mental and physical de pression means death, and to compete with the lurking fever the drousiness which at tends summer must De ccn stantly fought off. It is so hot during the four months rainless season that stones mar the hand like red-hot iron if touched and eggs brought from the shade into the sun burst on account of sudden decomposition. For eight months rain pour down, making ir impossible to go out-of doors, indeed, suicidal, for.a feyer will re sult. A special feature and per haps the only agreeable one of the island is or rather was. when th9 few trees that struggle for existence there had not been felled, the pres ence of certain very large liz zards which lived in the trees nnd were killed with stones by the prisoners, to be eaten. They were really a delicacy, and when boiled or roasted afforded a rich, palatable dish, somewhat similar to pheasants. Ex. Perry Belmont comes out in au interview cabled from London, denouncing as a fake the interview in which it was said he would support Bryan. The Nebraskan is play ing in good luck. Mary Ellen Lease and the husband of Sloan's divorced wife will fitrht him, Now if Coxey, old boy, joins the trio, Bryan will go into the White House on a wave of triumph. News and Observer.
