Returning to Raleigh fathis evening from the four-day's conference with rail road traffic managers at Old Point Comfort, the members of the Corporation Commissibn gave out a statement tonight to the effect that the conference nas not re- suitea in complete agreement as to freight rate reduction as that the proposed adjustment will be presented to Governor Craig with recommendation that it be ac cepted, out mat it did result in such concessions that the com missions will present the result to the Governor for his considera tion. The commission's state ment says : "At the last conference in the offioe of the Governor in the com mission insisted tnat tne propor tion of through rates represented by the rate from the Virginia cities SDOuid be reduced ZD per cent, and presented a basis for working out tbe new rates that would approaoh that average.

Urge New Treity With Nlcirigsi. Washington, July 26. Impor tant modifications are to be made in the proposed treaty with Nica ragua by which the United States would establish a protectorate ov er the Southern Republic. It haa been discovered that by the terms of the agreement originally--: out lined bv Seoretary Bryan. Nica ragua would have been prevented from ever joining with other Re publics to form a single Central American Union. This was not contemplated by the Administration when tbe treaty was proposed, and the sug geBtion I Has oreated suspicion among other Central American countries. At a conference to day between Secretary Bryan and members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, it was agreed that the original draft of the treaty should be changed and definite statements be inoluded in the compact, providing that it should not stand in the way of any future action Nioaragua might decide to take toward join ing a Central Amerioan Commis sion. In a test case bronght by Sheriff S. U. Cowan, of New Hanover, Judge Jtioundtree decided tnat a sheriff is on duty all the time and therefore has a right to oarry a pistol in any manner he pleases at ill times, and the same applies to deputies appointed by the sheriff. A Good Investment. W. D. Magli, a well known merchant of Whitemound, Wis., bought a stook of Chamberlan medicine so as to ne able to sup ply them to his customers. After receiving them he was himself taken eick and says that one small bo'.tle of Chamberlain's Colio, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy waB worth more to him than the cost of his entire stock of these medioines.

Strong 1 representations, the most , drastic in phraseology that have been madejlnce the present . Amerioan Administration came into power, were made to the Huerta Govern ment, in Mexico today. The United States Government demanded not only the prompt arrest, court martial and punish ment of the Mexican Federal sol diers who shot Charles B. Dixon an American immigrant official, at Juarez', Mexiso, but the imme diate release of Charles Bissel and Bernard McDonald, mining mac- agere, imprisoned by Federal b diers at Chihuahua City and said to be threatened with execution. So serious were these inoidents re-garded in official circles that they overshadowed largely the theoretical considerations of pol icy which the visitor Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson has brought to a climax. The Ambassador himself has been so exercised over the developments in Mexico that he dictated two Strong tele grams, one to the Embassy at Mexico City and the other to the American Consul at Juares and while Seoretary Bryan slightly modified their tone, they were ap proved and promptly dispatched. El Paso, Texas, July 27. Charles B. Dixon, Jr., the United States Immigration Inspector who was shot in Juares Saturday by Mexioan soldiers,' was released from the Juarez hospital and bronght to El Paso today after American Consul Edwards had made a demand for his release and for the arrest of the men who shot him. Arthur Walker, the negro whom Dixon was investigating when he was arrested, and the soldiers who made the arrest, immediately were placed in jail, aooording to the report of Colonel Castro, com manding the' Juarea garrison to E. W. Berkshire, Supervising In spector of Immigration for the United States on the Mexioan border. Dixon was released to Mr. Berkshire and taken to. El Paso to a hospital. Rid Your Children of Worms You can change fretful, ill-tempered children into healthy, hap py youngsters, by ridding them of worms.

Kiokapoo Indian Med icine Co., Philadelphia and St. Louis, THE 6IRLS NEW DORMITORY. Livingstons College ts Erect a $50,000 BolldiBg at an Early Date. Last week the Advocate ran the cut of W. H. Goler, D. D., the President of Livingstone College. In this issue we are presenting to our readers a picture of the pro- -: posed new dormitory for girls. Since the burning; of Hopkins Hall, some five years ago, the girls have been huddled ' together in quarters in Huntington Hall altogether inadequate and any thing but conductive to their comfort and health. ' It is the purpose of the presi dent, the board of trustees and the A. M. E. Zion church to erect a building, the estimated cost of which is 150,000. When com pleted' it will undoubtedly be s handsome and as imposing a struoture of its kind to be found upon any college campus in the South. The people of the connection all over the country are united in one great effort to raise by next May, $37,500, the remaining $12, 000 having been promised by the General lloard of Education upon this oondition. It is, gratifying to see how thoroughly the whole church is organised, and how faithluHy each conference trys to come up to the assessments which it has voluntarily assumed. While this seems a large tarn to be raised, yet we feel that it will be realized. '. , Liviagitone. College; stands to day as, perhaps, the truest and best example of w hat the Negro is doing for himself in establish ing and maintaining an institu tion of learning. It is supported almost entirely by contributions from poor Negro men, women and children, through the great church of which it is its- chief school. If therefore you need an answer to" the question what ia the Negro doing for his own edu cation, Livingstone College is the reply . Then, too, Livingstone College is unique in the respect and es teem in hich it is held by the white people of Salisbury, many of whom go out of their way to speak a good word for the work done there and the salutary in fluence it exerts upon the life of the community which surrounds, it and for the gentlemanly and womanly bearing of its student body. They regard the college as one of the oity s best assets. Nor is their interest expressed in good words only, but they have ever responded with their meanB, when called upon, and they stand ready to help in the realization of this new building. Dr. Goler has juBt left for a two weeks tour of South Carolina and perhaps Alabama in oompany with Bishop Caldwell in the interest of this effort. Piedmont Advocate. Mr. Vanderford Re-instated, A dispatch from Washington is to the effect that Senator Over man has seoured belated justioe for Tom Vanderford of Salisbury, who was removed as an internal revenue agent 16 years ago at the end of the Cleveland adminis tration, to make room for a Re publican. It was recognized that he was one of the best men in the service, but the exigencies of politics dictated ' his removal. Senator Overman has had him re-instated. This is good news to Mr. Vanderford's many friends here who are glad to learn of his re-appointment . B. B.
