Social to The Observer.. Asheville, July 29. Superior Court for the trial of criminal cases con vened here this morning at 10 o'clock. With Judge Guion presiding. This Is the first term of Superior Court for Buncombe county over which Judge Guien has presided and with the opening of court this morning the court room and the in side of the bar railing were filled with spectators and court attend ants to hear his honor's charge to the grand jury, Judge Gulon, in ad dressing the grand Jury, spoke in a calm and deliberate manner, but with a voice that carried to the ut most parts of the big auditorium. Before delivering the usual charge Judsre Guion told the grand , Jury that he had read -in the public press of the agreement reached between the Governor and Council of State and the railroad companies , relative to the enforcement ot the S 1-t cent rate law; that while the court had received no official notification that the new rate law was to be obeyed by the railroads and become de fective August 8th, he nevertheless relied upon the public prints , for information,- and therefore charged the grand Jury not to make present ments against the railroads. The court strongly Intimated that had the railroad failed to reach an agreement with the State authorities to enforce the law ne wouio ' nave charged the grand Jury to Indict. In fact. , the court declared that if Its Information obtained from the prc8 proveu 10 DO nm iuuura u fact or for any other reason tne law was not to be obeyed, be would reconvene the grand Jury and give the body special instructions as to their dutv. Judae Guion Incidentally remarked that under the agreement reached between the Governor ana the railroads as contained in the public prints the 2 1-4 cent rate would go Into effect on August 8th, that the court would still be in ses sion at that time and that if .tne law was not being observed ne would call the grand Jury before him for special instructions. ' The criminal aocKet at ints wrm of court Is heavy. In fact, is is saia to be the heaviest docket for many previous terms of court and it will probably require the greater portion n tho tarm to clear the docket. There are nearly 100 new cases set for trial. In addition to otner cases rnntinued from other terms, inere are two burglary cases on docket for trial, but aside tho uttle interest or the from lm- portance attaches to the courf work.

Cincinnati. O.. July 2. That it is Impossible for him under present con ditions to favor the presidential can didacy of Secretary-of War William H. Taft is the statement of United States Senator Foraker in a letter given out hero to-day. Tho latter is addressed to C. B. McCoy, ot Co nhocton, a member ot the Republican State committee, and is intended as the expression of the Senator's views when tho committed meets at Colum bus to-morrow Tho interview of Governor Harris, In which he favors the endorsement of Foraker for Sen ator and Taft for President and vari ous recent publications are talysn aa the text for the letter. Senator Foraker says: "It is claimed that Secretary Taft Is the only candidate Ohio has for the presidency and that on such ac count, from sentiments of Htate pride, we should unite in his support. I, see it stated as a reason for the claim that Ohio has only one candidate for the prexldency that I have not at any time announced my candidacy for that office. It Is true that I have nev er made any such announcement.

"It in because I entertain opinions of this kind that 1 have not made any announcement of any candidacy for anv office, and I do not deem it necessary that I should. To-day there Is a wide difference among Republican on a question of the most vital character." After discussing at length the prns ont prosperity of the county and Sec retary Taft's attitude In favor of a re vision of the tariff, Senator Foraker concluden hl letter as follows: "if we can be given tlmo to discuss this subject, I may change my views about it, but without further advices It Is impossible for me, not withstand Ing the high character andreat abil ity and the dlsttngulsbpKHerviceH of fiix-retary Taft, to furfur his candi dacy."

Lemuel Showers, the keeper ot a blMlard room frequented by negroes, who. loaned Reed the revolver with which he shot Daugherty, was cap tured to-day and lodged in the county jail at Princess Anne. Every train arriving at Crlsfield was searched in the hope that Showers would, be found on board. Had hu -been he woula almost certainly have been lynched, for there ha been much trouble, with lawless negroes and the teellngg against him is very, high, alildred, whose v arrest precipitated the trouble, has not yet been cap tured. When he is, the authorities will undoubtedly keep Mm awa kfrom this city, else he would surely meet a rate similar to Reed s, There (has been no adverse criti cism of the treatment given Heed, Those wno put an , end to his me, strung nis body up to a telegrapn pole, and after the Inquest.

It was? no party of masked men, but a band of citizens whose patience had 'been tried too rar py tne 'lawless negroes or tnis locality, tven among the colored race tne work of the lynchers met approval. To-day the town council was waited upon by a delegation rep resnting the best colored element of tine vicinity andf including all ; the local ml ni tors and a, colored physi cian. They asked to be allowed to co-oporato with the whites and blacks. They asked that the council close ell places of business and amusement where the unruly element arnona the blacks might congregate and foment ireuoie. xney onered to rurnish in formation upon which certain dives In the negro section mlgnt be closed. They presented resolutions express ing regret for the murder of Oaugh erty and commending him; condemn ed Reed and his kind and said that they would have been willing to Join In the hunt for him and In Jqnchlng mm when he was captured. . The council lhas acted upon some of these suggestions. Nluc negro Joints have been closed. Tne mollce justices have been instructed to ap ply tho heaviest possible penalties to convlctej negro law breakers, twid hereafter all strange negroes are to be - required, upon the day f their arrival in town, to state thlr bust, ness and to secure permission from the authorities to remain, falling to do this they are to be arrested and sent to tne house of correction as vagrants. A large number of special officers have been sworn in and are on duty with a view to preventing trouble between whites and unruly UlilCKS. Feeling la still high. Post carJ pictures of the scenes where the lynching occurred are selling rapid ly. Pieces of the rope by which Reed was ausponded to the telegraph pole bring fancy prices. Some attacks are' said to have been made upon the homes of negroes, some of whom are said to haev been roughly used. Few negroes are to pe seen on the stijeets. HATE DECLARED REASONABLE. Interstate Commerce. Cbmmisaion Renders a Decision In Favor of tlic Southern Hallway Violations of Antl-Triwt Law Not Within Com mission's Jurisdiction.. Washington, July 29. -In an opinion handed down to-day by Commissioner Clements, the inter-Stato commerce conimiHtrion decided that the present rte of 41 cents per 100 pounds in cotton goods, by sea and rail, from Augusta, Ga., to New York, is not un reasonable. .The case wag that of the Warren Manufacturing Company, of Augusta, and Others, agalnitt the Southern Rail way Company and others. The com mission held thai the absorption of a compelling line of railway by another, in alleged violation of the statutes of a State, is a matter within the con trol of thu State courts and can be considered by the commission only In its ultimate results of including un reasonable rates. Further, the oom mission holds that "the violation of the so-called anti trust act by unwarranted agreements in restraint of trade by carriers of inter-State commerce is not within the Jurisdiction of the commission, but only tha correction of unreasona ble rates which may.be the purpose and effuct of such illegal act. The long continued carriage of any article by freight at certain rates, while es labllshing a presumption that such rates uro reasonable and remunera tive, is not alone conclusive, but to curry such presumption must show a settled practice of policy. When u rate is comparatively the lowest In its territory on a given article of freight and by reason thereof has boon made the basis of reductions from competitive points, it will not be further reducod on the ground alone that it had at stated periods In the past been somewhat lower, un less it be shown that It Is unreason ably high for the service performed."

Importers of aeros and manufac turers of Jewelry say that the great sale an4 popularity of artificial pro duct in this line, wnicu aiarmea jw. elers for, a time, have not interfered with the demand for th natural stones, but that on the contrary, this is greater than ever. By "artificial" these dealers do not mean only the cheap Imitations found lit every de partment store, but what are called laboratory or "reconstructed" gems. These have a higher value than those made of flaas. but have failed 0 take tne place or the genuine arucies wim those who can afford the latter. Several reasons are given for this. Diamonds, which have been . made experimentally In the laboratory lack brilliancy and the cost of making them is so great as to be prohibitive, even if .they wire desirable. The same Is true of other stones with th ex ception !of tha ruby. To the unedu cated eye it is admitted that a re constructed ruby bought- for 11(1 looks no different from a reai ruoy worth $10,000. Since dealers admit this much, it Is safe to say that the educated eye may readily be deceived also, and since the ruby Is the rarest and most costly of precious stomas It is highly probable that many of the social elect, who 'nold - themselves above suspicion or wearing lnmita tions, will be. found wearing the UO manufactured stcmea and nobody" th6 wiser. At the sama time, it may be readily understood why genuine gems are in demand. Many persons have a repugnance of imitations of any sort things that pretend to be what tney are not. purchasers of gems, too, even persons of wealth. Mke to feel that they .are putting their money in to something of real value as a sort of Investment .' But without question, to the eyes of all save experts, imitation gems, placed as they are in these days In artistic settings, are. quite aa decora tive and beautiful as the real stones, and worn by fashion's elect the gen uineness woum not ne questioned even by experts. Everything depends on the social and financial standing of the wearers., If the latter were absolutely sure that Che deception would not b discovered, laboratory and even department store Jewelry would be In Jemand by them. The primary object of the wearing of gems, therefor, is not ornament and decoration, but assurance of cost Early Raqpball Teams. Henry Beach Xeedham in Success jaagasine. Baseball team existed as early as 1845. but the first league was formed In 1875, wtien the National Associa tion or wascoair layers was organ ised, This, as the title implies, was an organization of players in fact. of amateur players. They-did not re main true amateur for long, howev er, a.id in IS 71 baseball was placed squarely on a professional basis, when there came into existence th National Association of Professional Baseball Players. It will be noted that the players etlll governed tne upon, and they continued to do so until 1876 It was In this period that there grew up the great abuse which menaced the' very life of baseball, namely: gambling and the buying and selling of games. In 176 ,th players were deposed rrom tne government or pro fesslonal baseball, and ' fhey have never since controlled the game. Japs to Occupy Korea.
