The school has 462 acres of ground ow, which is bounded rougfhly by aney creek, Ralgsd'ale creek, the uthern railway and Hominy creek, though it projects over Ragsdale to e Snow Hill road. The school is Ideated on an eminence gher than any point near, about ree quarters of a mile southwest of Iphur Springs, and about 200 yards om the nearest point of the South- n's tracks. Naturally the lay of the tire tract is one of the most beauti ll in the mountains, and is splendidly apted to the uses it is now put.

The stuperidoueness of the undertak ing" hard-ty impresses one un'til it has been showmi and described to him, and even then he feels that he can hardly understand or grasp its import': Mr. Anderson is most enthusiastic in his work, going out every day, he feels that his effort to spare nothing will be rewarded. He says a more suitable location for his school could not bave been selected, .and suitability was the controlling influence in the choice, even though buffeted by opposi tion at times.

'r "J (Continued from first page.) r, - , v - ' ' f mese "appeal- for ; mediation and! the President' reply, Minister Wn brought to, the departmeitt a copy of the iden tical telegram cent out by Sheng to the powers, repeating:- the Chinese assur ance as to the safety of the legationers up to the 18th dn&t. The Chinese appeal is unques'tlonably an, adroit production.. The .presMent'S ansrwer Is equally clever and more sin cere; that -is the opinion, of the officials here whonhaftre carefully studied both. The president has succeeded in asking for conditions precedent to mediation quite as valuable as those laid, down in Europe, yet he has so tempered his re quirements as to make them unexcep tionable to the Chinese governments At the same time there is noting in the note to which the European chancellors can object, openly, at least. The presi dent expressly states that his media tion is subject to the approval of the powers; he will not attempt to force it upon Europe. And the Chinese igovern ment , must produce the. ministers in safety. Minister "Wu declares that his goven ment will meet that obligation, in aroof of which he produced Sheng's telegram in which he expressed implicit confi dence. Certainly if the last promise is baseless, the Chinese government is party to one of the most bare-faced de- 1 ceptions practiced upon another nation in the estimation of the state depart ment. The department does sot doubt Min ister Wu's sincerity in any case, and as for that offieialKhe is so confident that the United States government is the, only one in the world to which China can look for fair and friendly treat ment; that he has exhausted every ef fort personally by appeal and otnerwise to saveall the other foreign ministers in Pekin, if possible ; but at any - rate to insure the safety of Mr. Conger. The Sheng telegram was made public at the state department in the follow ing statement: 0 'Minister Wu visited the state de partment this morning (July 24) and handed to the acting secretary of state the following text of a cablegram ex plaining that it was a cablegram from Dictator General Sheng at Shanghai, dated July 23, 1900, to the Chinese min ister at London, to wbonv it had' been retransmitted to Minister Wu and. re ceived by the latter on the night of the same day: " 'News from Pekin of 22d of sixth moon, corresponding to July 18, says Wen Jui, by direction of the tsung li yamen, went to see the various foreign ministers and found not one of them harmed. Jung Lu proposes to memori alize imperial government to supply them with provisions at once, and then devise a plan to detail troops to escort them to Tien Tsin.' " -Commissioner Roickhill does not un derestimate the extent of the task set for him by the presidnt . He ie to acf as the eye and ears of the administra tion in China, to make careful inquiry into the existing condrtions. to learn the cause of the present uprising and report the facts directly" to the president for his guidance in the ultimate settleme 1 and in framing his policy for the tu- iu'c. a m lo ta oa. win involve a vassi amount of travel in China. Mr. Rock- hill is of the opinion that it will not be sufficient to merely look into conditions in Shantung province and oerhaps in Pekin, if he can obtain access to - that capital. He also must visit other prov inces and cities where there is disquiet and danger to foreign interests and thi9 will be fraught with perhaps some per sonal risk. But it is regarded as neces sary if the president is to be put into possession of :a comprehensilve under standing ofv Chinese conditions. It is exjM-essly stated that Mr. Rockhill is going to JChina simply as an observer for the president. - Tnis js technically true, but it also may be stated that he will be entrusted with full diplomatic powers later on if it seems expedient and in the interest of an early settle ment of the Chinese problem to have directly in the field am authorized agent of the United States government. It is even probable that he will be the next United States minister of Pekin, if Mr. Conger has perished. HOT WORDS IN COURT. The Monotony of the Kentucky Trial Varied by a Wrangle. Georgetown, Ky., July 24. Several new and sensational features were de veloped in the Powers trial Monday. Much interesting testimony was pre sented by both.sfldes. Aside from the there was a hot passage of words be tween ex-Governor John Young Brown, senior counsel for Powers, and Judge Can trill. They became so wrought up that a general outbreak seemed immi nent. The judge accused the ex-gov ernor of making a political speech, at which exception was taken. Lawyers spectators and newspaper men were on their feet and much excited by the words and actions of the partflcipants Lawyers pn both sides were jumping to their feet with interruptions, few of their exclamations being understood. Just as it was becoming really serious, long after" the time for adjournment, Judge Cantrill adjourned the courts KILLED BY LIGHTNING. Special to the Gazette. Ellenboro.-N. C, July 24. iA farmer naimed Williajms and his young son were killed west of this-city yesterday by lightning-. - It was a most deplora ble misfortune, the father and son ly ing under a large tree a few steps from the door of their home, in Which stood Mrs. Williams, who was hurled to the floor by the shock. The unfortunate woman regained consciousness only to receive a worse Shook to find that both her husband and son were dead. W. A. H. SIDNEY MILLS FOUND DEAD-- Threa Persons Arrested Say He Pel Into a Cut L- Word was brought to the city about 1 o'clock this morning that Sidney KMdlls, of Mills River, had been- Killed on the west side of the French Broad river below Smith's, bridge. The body skull was apparently fractured and his Obody bruised. John Bellew, Bob Bur gess and ElMnore Burgess, who live near by where the body lay, were ' ar rested on suspicion . Tney declared that Mills had one in search of-his horse and had fallen over thexhigh em bankment. ' , , liawyers would undoubtedly make g-ood poldiers . Their " charges would discourage the enemy.

Moodv and J. d. flrwnt spoke at Morgan Hill yesterday to a crowd-of 750 persons. iMajor Moody spoke before dinner and his audience gave him the closest -attention. He made a splendid, speech. A basket dinner was spread near the church, and, after that , Mr. Grant spoke. His was also a strong speech and the attention given him was most encouraging, arguing well for the cause he advocated. There was not a suggestion-of bad order to mar the day." Major Moody spoke ' at Weaverville last night and bqth he and Mr. Grant speak at Leicester today. Eight members of the First regiment band accompany them on their tour. "AT.TACK"UN A REGISTRAR. The Truth vs a Tremendous Demo cratic Sensation. v Newton, N. C. July 23. The Sun day's issue of the Charlotte Observer and Raleigh News andObserver contain highly colored accounts of the attack upon the registrar, C. M. McCorkl?, by A. P. Lynch, E. I. Sigmon and Dal ton Deliinger, saying that Xynch at tacked the registrar with a dirk and that the registrar only saved himself by drawing a revolver on them and driving them away at the point of his ietol, etc., etc., and the subsequent ai- rest of the parties. The following is to give you an 'account of the trial, as t was held today before Justices' Flem- min'gs and Brown. IC. M. MdCorkle being sworn, says: I am registtrar for the Newton precinct, registered voters at my private of fice during the week. On last Fricay was in my office alone. , Lynch, Sig mon ana Dellineer came 1m. followed 'to the door by three negroes. I asked: them to have a seat and what I couid do for them. Lynch asked me my rea son why I had not registered these ne groes. I told him to find out from the negroes. Lynch said L want to know" and I expect you to tell me. We had some further talk and Mr.. Sigmon said we had a right to know and we ask you to teal us. Mr. Lynch got ex cited and used some bad language. He had a small barlow fcnife in his hand when he came to the office and had it in his hand until Mr. George MeCorkle, my brother, who had come in, told him to put up his knife, which he did at once. (Mr. L,ync(h did not draw any dagger or dirk on me nor threaten me, and I did not draw anv pistol on him nor tak the pistol out of the drawer of my desk. I did put my hand inlto the drawer where it was, but did not draw it. Mr. Dellineer did not say a word." Upon this evidence) the prosecution rested and the defense rested. After argument the justices finedLynch $25 and cost, Sigmon $10 and cost, and Dell mger ?t anai cost. Defendants ap pealed and gave bond in the sum of $100 each. AT DAVIS CHAPEL. Captain Patton Speaks in Upper Hominy. At Davis chapel, Upper Hominy township on Saturday we had quite an interesting meeting with a rood and representative crowd of citizens and ladies. A nice dinner was erved on the ground, , and about 1 o'clock the meeting was called to order by--Dlf; Brook, and with a few appropriate re marks he introduced Oapt. T. W. Pat- ton, who epoke upon the subject of pa triotism and loyalty to the constitu tion of the United, States. lAmong other things, he said - small Cloud was making its appearance that is threatening the prosperity, institu tions and liberty of our glorious old North State. He made am instructive speech and one that was well received, making an excellent impression. K etvery.man in this country would make such patriotic speeches as Cap tain Patton does the young men of our country would soon more fully realize their duty towards our government and its institutions. John W. Stamey, the candidate for the senate, was introduced and made a splendid speech, which was a pleasant surprise to all, owing to his youthful appearance. He made every one pres ent his friend. iMaj. Rollins was next introduced, .nd as usual he held the full attention of the crowd and made one of his char acteristic speeches. He said the dem ocrats had proved their sincerity as re gards white supremacy by appointing a number of negro judges of eleoifon down east, and proved beyond a doubt that it was the poor white man and ig norant negro they were after and truly his argument was convincing beyond question and approach from an honest standpoint.. .

Second of Series at Asheville College by Dr. Paqnin- v The second lecture on human nature., Iryigiene, germ life, etc., in the regular courses of the Asheville Summer School and Conservatory will begin at 8:30 tonight at the Asheville college hall. The jsubject is "The Infinitely Little, and Its Relation to Huma Life, Health and Ill-ftiealth." The first lec ture, "Man, the Masterpiece," was at tended largely by a prominent and appreciative audience of ladies, who gave their praise without stint jto Prof. Jones and others in authority for the splendid efforts to secure for Ashe ville a summer school both entertain ing and instructive. Talents of a superior order in music, art and science have been secured at great cost by the summer school direc tors and the Asheville citizens may profit more" from these efforts, intel lectually, financially and' otherwise, than any other people in 'our midst. The school hopes therefore to spread enthusiasm among our people for ad vanced study -and entertainment in the purely enjoyable and the combined ar tistic, scientific and entertaining work which it offers for a pittance. The lecture of Dr. Paquin will be for the benefit off the school, free to all who may wish to attend. Every one should know the nature and powers of germs, if for no other purpose" than home hygiene and self -protection. The soiccessof this le'cture therefore prom ises" well. . OUR DUMB ANIMALS.

A Rome correspondent says that the Pope is particularly grieved at the de struction of the new Roman Catholic Cathedral in Pekin, toward the erection of which he was a generous subscrilber. It seems that the building was an ob ject of offense to the Empress Dowager, (by reason of its spires overtopping those ojf the imperial residence. To satisfy her scruples the archbishop of Pekin acquiesced1 in various architectural al terations, but apparently these were not sufficient to avert the antagonism of Tsi An and the Boxers. There is now a clergyman of the Church of England who has married, his deceased wife's sister, in spite of all the prelates in the House of Lords who' vote consistently against any re cognition of the practice. The name of this daring innovator is Rerv. George Poynder, and he is a priest of the dio cese of Melbourne. His bishop, Dr. j Goe, formerly rector of St. George's ' BlQOmsberry, has "suspended .him for twelve month?- but this apparently Is only a formal tribute to the conven tional church feeling on the subject, as there is an understanding that he will receive a new appointment in the dio cese at the expiration of hie extended hoineymoon. The advocates of cremation in Ger many have a periodical devoted ex clusively to their interests. It is called Flamme (flame).

When the authorities undertook re cently to comply with the request of the state board of health for a list of all the physicians in the county, they found that there was not a physician' in the county, nor had there been one for a year, for the simple reason that in a period of two years there has not ibeen a case of sickness in the county sufficiently serious to necessitate a a doctor's services.
