Says the Maryland Senator is Gain ing Friends Everywhere Not a Question, However, of the Man, But of Results. "Senator Gorman is making a stronger impression on the people of Georgia every day, and I think he is gaining friends and supporters every where," said Senator Clay, of that State, to a newspaper reporter in Washington Saturday. "But the main question is: Who is the man to nominate through whose candi dacy we can 'win? Can Gorman carry the country? If he can, let us nominate Parker or some other man im whomwe have confidence of vic tory. In a word, according to the feeling in Georgia, it is not a ques tion of persons. We want the best man, irrespective of personal feeling. "The main point to be attained," continued Senator clay, "is to nomi nate a man who can command the conservative and the business ele-1 ment of the country. Can Gorman command that strength? His friends claim that he can, and I am inclined to agree with them. Of course in or- j der to win, he must carry the States j of New York, Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut. "Now, if Mr. Gorman can carry those States we must nominate him. There is nothing left but that choice. If it is believed that we cannot reach that accomplishment, then we can- ! not afford to nominat him. We must observe the question of political ex pediency and throw aside all consid erations of personal choice. The South will vote solidly for any good Democrat, and is willing that a j man shall be chosen from the East: j the West or and other section, so long 1 as he can go forth and reach the goal. Results are what we are after, and personal pride should cut no fig ure. "Gorman is a strong, man. No one doubts that fact. Georgia Democrats have great faith in him. They be lieve that if elected he would make a great President. If, at convention time, the conditions are such as to point to a victory with him at the head of the ticket, our delegation will support him., I volunteer the assertion, however, that should cir cumstances indicate that some other man should be nominated even though his name hass not been men tioned at this day, the Georgia dele gation will vote for the man and for no one else. I repeat that it is not a question of the man, but one of re sults. We want to take the merits of the case under consideration and name the best man. Victory is what we are alter, and I think a great Democratic victory is in sight. Gor man ought to be able to secure that victory."

COTTON OVERCOATS. Boston Transcript. The telegraphic announcement the present week that well known New England woolen mills are about to extend the use f mercerized cotton in their manufactures will cause no sur prise to those who have followed the trend of affairs in wool and worsted manufacture of late years. The use of combed and carded cotton yarns that have been treated with caustic soda, which is the basic principle in mercerizing, or lustermg, to take the place of the silk stripes in fancy goods as well as a substitute for worsted in making the entire fabric, has grown apace the past two years, and is evidently meeting a want that has been unsupplied heretofore. Mention was made in these columns some years ago of a consignment of Clay worsteds that were sent here by the "Bradford manufacturers in which there was no particle of wool, warp and filling alike consisting of long staple cotton, sa manipulated in the weaving and finishing as to deceive even the expert buyers. Large numbers of lightweight evercoats were said to have been made from the material, and found a ready sale in this and other markets. The domestic manufacturers are do ing now what the English makers did then, but are extending their field into the lighter weight goods for men's wear. The coming fall and winter will witness a larger out put than ever of these cotton fabric designs for the clothing trade. DO NOT DOSE THE STOMACH Cure Catarrh By Nature's Own Method Every Breath of Hyomei Bring Belief. Nearly every one who has catarrh knows how foolish It is to try and cure it by drugging the stomach. Temporary relief may be given, but 1 a cure seldom comes. Until recently your physician would have said the only way to cure catarrh would be to have a change of climate; feeJl bow with Hyomei you can carry a health' giving climate in your vest packet and by breath ing it a few minutes four times a day soon cure yourself. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but $1.00 and consists of an inhaler that can be carried in the vest pock et, a medicine dapper and a - bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a life time, and if one bottle does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei can be ob tained for 50 aents. It is the most economical of all remedies advertised for the cure of catarrh, and is the only one that follows nature in her method of treating diseases of the respiratory organs. J. H. Hill & Son have sold a great many Hyomei outfits and the more they sell, the more eonvinced they are that they are perfectly safe in guaranteeing to refund the money if Hyomei does not cure.

( pi.:; FATHER OF SENATOR SIM MONS RUTHLESSLY MURDERED. Indications of a Lingering Death: . . His Feeble Cries For Help Unheeded. Polocksville, N. C, Sept. 14. Hon. F. G. Simmons, father of United States Senator F. M". Sim mons and owner and proprietor of a large landed estate five miles from this place, was murdered in a dense wooded game preserve on his place Saturday morning. The crime is one of the most dastardly and brutal in the history of Jones county. ' The scene of the murder is about a half mile from the Simmons homestead, in a thick wood extending down to the south bank of Trent river. The body was found Sunday morning about eight o'clock lying face down ward and partially on the right side. The It ft hand was clasped to his breast and his forehead was resting on his right arm. A load of No. 4 shot had entered his left breast. A negro named Alfred Daniels, alias Moses Hardin, has been arrest ed and is in jail at Trenton awaiting the finding of the coroner's jury, which is in session this afternoon at the Simmons home. The officers are after another negro, Dump .King, who is suspected of complicity in the murder or attempt to conceal the body. It is thought here that King will be captured in a few hours. Mr. F. Q. Simmons was 77 years old last March. Sinee the death of his wife, nearly three years ago, he has lived practically alone on his fine old eunlry estate, having with him only a hired housekeeper. Liv ing on the plantation are a number of tenants and farm hands. Mr. Sim mons was proud of his game reser vation, which is said to be one of the finest in this section of the State. He kept his land posted and all over the plaee he had signs put up giving notice to that effect. There was one of these signs painted on a large board within a few rods of where the fatal scene was enaeted. Friday morning shooting was heard in the same body of woods and Mr. Simmons went out to inves tigate it. He saw the party " hurry ing away as he approached, but he could not get near enough to tell, who it was. On Saturday morning there was more shooting, and Mr. Simmons again went to investigate. Some of the tenants beard a gun shot and later heard a Voice calling, but paid slight attention to it. They were not sure that it was a cry of distress. Mr. Simmons had intend ed to come to Pollocks ville and sell some cotton that day, and when he did not return home to dinner it was not at once considered cause for much alarm. , Later In the after noon, however, a searching party made a tour of the woods he had en tered that morning. No trace of him was found, and it was surmiijed he had possibly boarded the Treat river boat for Newbern. : About forty men .instituted an other search Sunday morning, and atnrtincr Bear th Qim1nr krM.n c - g,K rormea a line ana started down the river. About eight o'clock the body was found not more than a hundred yards from the river lying near a cedar tree in the position already de scribed. An examination showed that 18 No. 4 shot had struck him; most of them centering about the left breast. Mr. Simmons' gun was found lying about twenty-five feet from his body ana these was evidence that he had erawled most of this distance. - Some of those in the searching party think he1 lived several hours after baine Foiot. Th (loaves on the arronnd f...:.j..f ... - - - .TV- were aisi. a in a way indicating that he hacf raov-ed to keep in the ; shade of a tree as the sun rose high er. Nothing is known oT what pass ed between "Mr. Simmons- and the trespasser upon his game forests.The single shot was all that was heard. The stories sent out that he was shot ttree times and afterwards clubbed on the head are untrue. There was a smouldering volcano j of wrath In the large crowd standing r about the s Simmons homestead to day. As the coroner's inquest pro ceeded and witness after witness was examined, the belief grew stronger in the minds of the by-standers as to the guilt of the man in custody, and not a few such subdued exclamation as "a rope and a limb is in order next" were heard. t And there were remarks of this kind from men who had every appearance of possessing the nerve to lead in such an under taking. There were also men there who discouraged hasty action and urged their neighbors to let the law take its course. Standing in the shadow of the old homestead, the house where he was born just fifty years ago, struggling beneath the weight of the cruel burden so suddenly laid upon him and in sight of a newly-made grave, Senator Simmons to-day proved himself every inch a law-abiding man. With the fullest sense of the cruel outrage in his mind and with tears in his eyes, he saw the subdued storm of indignant wrath brewing among -hi3 dead father's devoted neighbors and went out among them taking them by the hand and calling them by familiar names, plead with them not to allow any violence done to the prisoner. At his personal so licitation the chairman of the board of . county commissioners issued an order to the sheriff to remove the prisoner to Craven county jail for safe keeping and protection. The remains of the deceased were interred in the family burying ground near the house, this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The funeral services were conducted in the home by Rev. W. H. Rich, pastor of the First Bap tist church ol New Bern. A large concourse ol friends were present from all parts of Jones and adjoining counties to pay the last tribute of re spect toa departed friend. Mrs. F. M. Simmons, Mr. and Mrs.L. A,Mahlerand Miss ElizaSim- mons, of Raleigh, went to attend the funeral, and the ladies will remain a few days before returning to Raleigh. Mr. Mahler returned home to-day. -New Bern, N. C, Sept. 14. The coroner's jury in the case of F. Q. Simmons who was murdered on Sat urday in Jones county, reaahed a verdict at 8:30 o'clock to-night. The verdict was that Mr. Simmons came to his death from wounds inflicted by parties unknown. Circumstan tial evidence points to Alfred Dan iels, a negro, who is now confined in jail.

LOFTY HEADJfOJOUCH DUST THE CLIMAX OF THE POST OFFICE INVESTIGA TION IS NEAR. Beaver is Indicted Another Indicti ment Against Machen Who is the Mysterious High Par sonage Whose Case is Now Before the Jury? Washington, Sept. 9. One of the persons indicted yesterday by the Federal grand jury in connection with the postal investigation is Geo. W. Beavers, formerly chief of the Division of Salary and Allowance. It is understood that the charge is conspiracy. While the officials refuse to dis close the names of the four remain ing persons who were indicted yes terday, it is said that none of them is or has been connected with the Postoffice Department and that one is a man of some prominence. It was stated at the City Hall to day that the climax of the investi gation is to come shortly when a person not connected with the de partment but equally as well known as the Postmaster himself, undoubt edly would be indicted for conspir acy, in the postoffice frauds. The grand jury began hearing the evi dence in this particular case to-day, and it is said when a report is made it will in all probability conclude the investigation in Washington.
