ON TO RICHMOND. The City on the James Gives Royal Welcome. The Intellect and The Power of Tbe Protestant Dplscopal Church of Tbe United States Are Concentrated In Rich mond To-day. (By Special Wire to tbe Argus.) Richmond, Va., Oct. 1. The intel lect and the power of the Protestant Episcopal church of the United States are concentrated in Richmond today. On every train distinguished bishops, active clergymen and influential lay men from all parts of the couniry have been pouring into the city, until even the hotel corridors lor once in their history might be mistaken for the ves tibules of churches, so numerous there about are men of priestly mien. At many of the aristocratic residences bishons and clergymen have found splendid quarters. In! Holy Trinity cnurcn tnis morn ing, where the sessions of the triennial convention will begin tomorrow, a great throng of churchmen assembled The gathering was informal, the gen tlemen visiting the convention hall for the purpose of getting their mail and obtaining information relative to their quarters. Among the notable arrivals today were many of the bishops of the church, including he venerable Bishop Tuttle who will preside over the trien nial session. The bishop of London is "another prominent visitor who will re ceive much attention. J. Pierpont Morgan, with his guests, will arrive "tonight or tomorrow morning in his private car to take possession of the private house which he has rented for .$5,000 a month. Tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock the regular sessions of the convention will begin. The day will be ushered in by the celebration of the holy communion in all of the Episcopal churches of the city. At Holy Trinity services will be held at both 7 and 8 o'clock and at 9 o'clock prayer and litany will be ob served, after which the church will be put in readiness for the ceremonial celebration of the day. At 11 o'clock the bishops will form-in procession and :march to the church. They will be 'Clad in the robes of their office and will be preceded by the choir. The proces sional hymn will be sung as the choir and bishops enter the church. Bishop Tuttle will preside over the ceremo nies. At 4 o'clock the first session of .the convention will be held. 'Seldom if ever before in its history "has the triennial convention met with ; so much important business to trans act. The leading questions which are expected to cause much discussion "will be the advocacy of a canon to pro hibit absolutely the remarriage of di yorced persons by ministers of the -Episcopal church, and a plan for the "Creation of negro bishops. At the last convention of the church a canon was adopted which permitted the clergy to remarry the innocent par ty in a case, but after a year had elaps ed from the time of the decree. As tbe rule of the church stands now persons divorced for any other cause than adnltery may not be remarried by its clergy. At the last convention advocates of Hhe canon prohibiting any remarriage "X)t divorced persons were numerically in the majority, but the convention votes by dioceses, and the rigorists -were outvoted. It is predicted that at the present gathering they will succeed in having the canon adopted and the premarriage of divorced persons entirely prohibited. The proposal to create separate negro districts in the Episcopal dioceses in the South, with negro bishops to take charge of them, will meet with strong opposition in the convention. At pres ent no division between white and col ored l communicants exists, and the only negro bishop in the church is sta tioned in Africa. In addition to the two great ques tions to come before the convention many others of minor importance will be considered. It is probable that the convention may elect another bishop for Episcopalians in Mexico. A rear rangement of a large part of the Rocky Mountain region in its relation to the administration of the church is urged, and if the recommendation is carried out it will mean the creation ot new dioceses and the election of new bish ops. It is probable, in tact, that tne present convention will break all rec ords as to the number of new bishops to be elected by it. In addition to these changes in the iar West are several proposed divisions of dioceses. Georgia is to be divided, and there is possible a rearrangement of Ohio, making three dioceses there instead of two. Discussion will also be had as to the disposition of Minne sota and Iowa, where conditions have outgrown present Episcopal forces. It is possible also that the Southern Illi nois diocese and that of Pittsburg may be divided. The observance of the ter-centennial of the landing at Jamestown of English settlers and the establishment of the services of the Church of England in America will occupy some of the time of the general convention, which will be in session about four weeks. A feature of the observance will be the presentation of a thank-offering by the men of the Episcopal church for the progress ot the past three centuries. STATEMENT OF MB. J. C. D RE WRY. Raleigh Evening Times: About the year 1899 I purchased an interest in the "Visitor-Press Company, and associated with me in the manage ment of the paper Mr. John Wilber Jenkins. Since that time I have had an ambition to publish an ideal after- Feed Your Nerves Upon rich, pure, nourishing blood by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, and you will be free from those spells of de spair, those sleepless nights and anxious days, those gloomy, deathlike feelings, those sudden starts at mere nothings, those dyspeptic symptoms and blinding headaches. Hood's Sarsaparilla has done this for many others it will cure you. Hood's Sarsaparilla In .usual liquid form or in chocolated tablets known as Sarsatabs. 100 doses $1. DR. E. C. V1TOU, DENTIST. Phone 880- Goldsboro, N. O noon daily paper in the city of Raleigh, believing that it would add much to the welfare and prosperity of this city and to the business interests of our state. The paper, by pursuing a fair, conservative and independent course has gradually grown, until it has be come one of the largest and best after, noon daily papers in the south. In the early fall of 1905 I approached Colonel Andrews and asked him how he would like to see a large afternoon paper in this city, taking the full As sociated Press dispatches. He said he would like very much to see it, as the morning paper had a personal ani mosity against the Southern Railway Company and himself, and had never treated either fairly, and that he would like to see a good and impartial paper in Raleigh that would tell the truth. I asked him what he would do to ward the enterprise. He said he would not take any stock, but would give us advertising to the extent of a few thousand dollars upon the Times pub lishing the schedules, special notices, and such clippings from other papers as he might designate, the editorial de partment to be left entirely with the Editor. Arrangements were then made to enlarge the Times and take the full Associated Press dispatches, all of these arrangements being perfected before I had an idea of being a candi date for the State Senate. In April of the following year Col onel Andrews gave me a Southern Railway voucher for $2,000, payable to me as president of the Visitor-Press Company. I turned this voucher over to Mr. Geo. B. Crater, business man ager of the Times, and it was deposit ed to the credit of the Raleigh Evening Times, in the Citizens National Bank on April 5th. In August following Colonel An drews gave me another voucher for $2,000, payable to me as president of the Raleigh Evening Times, which voucher was also turned over to Mr. Geo. B. Crater, business manager of the Times, which voucher was deposit ed in the Citizens National Bank to the credit of the Raleigh Evening Times on August 8th. These entries are all shown on the books of the Ra leigh Evening Times and the Citizens National Bank. In the latter part of January follow mg, Colonel Andrews gave me another voucher for $2,000, payable to the Times for advertising, which was placed in the Citizens National Bank. However, after thinking over the matter,! a few hours afterwards, I realized that as State Senator from Wake county I might be criticised for accepting a voucher from the Southern Railway Company, even though I did so in my capacity as president of the "Visitor-Press Company, and in the performance of an agreement that was made before I was a candidate for office. I immediately went to see Colonel Andrews, and found that he had gone to Washington. The following morn ing I saw Mr. Henry Miller, and told him how I felt about the matter and that I had determined to return it to the Southern Railway Company, which I did through Mr. Miller immediately. The books of the Southern Railway Company, which the attorneys for the state no doubt saw, show that this amount reached Washington in due course, and was credited February 4th as having been paid back by the Ra leigh Evening Times. Neither Colonel Andrews nor the Southern Railway, nor any other cor. poration or indivinual outside of my immediate iamiiy contributed one nickle towards my campaign, fund either directly or indirectly. My record in the Senate will bear me out in the statement that I was not influenced or controlled to the slight est extent by either Colonel Andrews or the Southern Railway Company, nor has either ever undertaken to do so, because in almost every measure that came before the Senate affecting rail roads I voted against the railroads and in favor of what I believed to be the best interests of the State. I promised the people of Wake county to vote for a reduction of railroad rates and voted for a two-and-a-half cent rate. Subsequently, when the confer ence report was presented to the Sen. ate, fixing the rate at two and a quarter cents, I voted for that. I have served the Visitor-Press Com pany, which publishes the Times, as president, and part of the time as gen eral manager, ever since I have been connected with it, and I have never drawn one dollar out of the business for my services. In addition to that, have paid about 810,000 in cash into the paper, besides allowing the com pany to occupy my building for more than two years now without paying one dollar for rent. I have never had any desire or thought that the Evening Times would prove a profitable investment from a pecuniary standpoint, but I have labored to build up this paper, believe ing that it would ultimately be a power for good in this community and a bene fit to the best interests of the state. This is a full and frank statement of my entire connection with the South ern Railway vouchers. The statement would have been made sooner, but I felt that it was best to be calm and deliberate, and verify every fact and detail before making any statement at all. I know I have been severely criticised, but I pre ferred to wait patiently and undergo any amount of criticism rather than make a mistake in the slightest detail in making this statement. JOHN C. DREWRY. THE ROWLANDS ON TRIAL. They Were Arrainged For Murder In Raleigh This Morning. This Noted Case Is Now Before The Public For a Formal Court Hearing to the Eud. s (Special Wire to the Argus) Raleigh, Sept. 30. At noon today the work of selecting a jury in the famous Rowland murder case began in the Superior Court here. Dr. and Mrs. Rowland were arraign ed, and the two stood while the clerk of court went through the usual for malities, during which ordeal the ex pression of neither defendant changed. Mrs. Rowland, who is a strikingly handsome woman and of fine physique, is paler than usual and shows the traces of worry and confinement. Dr. Rowland is little changed. Only one juror, L. A. Harper, was secured from the regular pannel, and it will be late in the afternoon when the full jury is secured, if it is done at all at today's session of court. October 18.

He Will Be Escorted To Chapultepec Castle, Which Will Be Their Residence While Here. (Special to the Argus.) City of Mexico, Sept. 30.

Under official escort the Secretary of State and his family are on their way from the border line in a special train.

A round of entertainments and receptions will be given in honor of the visitors, and there will be a series of confer ences between the American Secretary of State and President Diaz and his official advisers. et Excitement Kept Bim Alive For A Few Moments. (By Special Wire to the Argus.) Raleigh, N. C, Sept. 30. Henry Armstong, colored, stabbed to the heart, rush.d into the store of J. W. Liles, at Selma, Saturday night and asked permission to use the telephone, but before he could tell who stabbed him he dropped dead. Armstrong was a brakeman, and his home was in Wilson. No clue as yet to his slayer. Haise In Telephone Rates. States ville, N. C, Mascot. The directors of the Iredell Tele phone Company have given notice that they will raise the rates on January st to $1.50 and $2.50. The demand on the system has been so great that an additional switchboard will have to be put in and their experience has de monstrated the fact that the present rate is too low; that it will not create a necessary sinking fund and pay inter est on the bonds. There is some dis satisfaction on account of this raise but the 'phono people asks the patrons to remember that the new rate is identi cally the rate asked of the Bell and which they refused to give Statesville. Were it not for the local system they would now be paying a much higher rate than the new rate. A DASTARDLY DOUBLE CRIME. Committed on the Outskirts of The Nation's Capital Yesterday. (By Special Wire to the Argus.) Washington, D. C, Sept. 30. A most horrible case of murder and criminal assault was committed in a woods just on the outskirts of Washington yes terday evening. Mr. J. W.

He then caught the girl and outraged her, and atterwards returned to where he left Mullen to finish him, but was frighten ed off.
