If J. P. Morgan's coal bin didn't
know where its supply was coming
from perhaps J. P. wouldn't bs so
backward in coming forward to set
tle the strike.
Since the failure of Senator
Piatt's prediction as to the end of
the coal strike he can go away back
and sit down. He isn't np on the
ctal strike business.
It is said that Boss Piatt, of Nwe

These Republican spell-binders

tariff doesn't help trusts, but Sen

Beef Trust. If one trust, why not

One of the mysteries that is too
much for Rev. Wm. A. Knight, of

have raised up such a character as
Theodore Roosevelt for light and

tad a good deal to do with that.

he thus planned to bury Teddy.

A Bid COTTON BLAZE
EARLY THIS MORNING.
Two Hundred Bales on Fire at the Caro
Hat Ceatral Whims Narrow
Escape of Two Vessels.
Fire which broke out at 1 o'clock
thia morning on the Seaboard Air
Line wharves at the foot of Brunswick
street, burned about 200 bales of cotton,
a large area of practically new wharf,
a hoisting engine and shed and badly
damaged other property that will
probably run the entire' loss up to be
tween $10,000 and 115,000.
The British steamer Gladys and
American schooner Gem, laden with
pyrites and discharging at the wharves.
were lying close in and had a narrow
escape from burning, though neither
of them caught fire. The Gem loosed
her moorinsrs and iwunc down the
wharf with the tide. The stern of the
Gladys thrown away from the
wharf by the prow of the Gem.
All the property is believed to have
been in charge of the S. A. L., though
the cottoa was in transit to Messrs.
Alexander Sprunt & Son and was
headed up" on the platform to the
number of about 400 bales, preparatory
to its being lightered to one or the
other of the two compresses operated
by the firm.
The fire is supposed to have origina
ted from the small hoistlne engine
which had been used the previous day
in running the machinery for discharg
ing thelpyrites from the vessel. An alarm
was sent in from the box at Nutt and
Brunswick streets, but it was the loog
est kind of time before a stream
could be turned upon the burning
cotton. An effective stream was
not secured until Engine No. 1
was attached to the hose and then the
firemen easily got the blaze under
control. It will be several days, how
ever, before all the fire is out. A
number of bales of cotton were dump
ed in the river, but others were still
burning on the wharf this morning.

well proportioned light and shade,
rich in humor, pathos and dramatic in
cident, ably acted by a capable com
pany. Its story, its purpose, and the
characters concerned in the plot are
said to be revealed with clearness and
force. The attention which has been
given to the details of the action and

interest not abating but rather in

Bitten by One of Bine Gams.
It is written and almost universally
accepted in the South that the bite of a
"blue'gum nigger" is as poisonous as
that of a rattlesnake. If that be true
John Robeson, a colored lemonade
vender on the wharf, reputed to have
an indigo background for his ivorys,
may be held for a much more serious
crime than the simple biting of a
blitd colored woman with whom he
had a difficulty yesterday, which led
to bis arrest and detention at the po
lice station for trial to-day. The wo
man's name is Lizzie Sellers, and led
by a little colored girl, she made her
complaint at the police station yester
day afternoon. She said that she had
been choked, bitten and otherwise
maltreated by the negro man of the
blue gums.
Superintendent Bsrger Resigned.
A special to the St an last night
from Raleigh says that it Is stated
there on the best authority that Capt.
D. H. Barger, superintendent of this

solidated under Superintendent C. H.
Hix, of the first division. The second

COL. SLOCOMB NAMED
Nominated for Congress by the
Sixth District Convention at
Maxton Yesterday.
HE HAD NO OPPOSITION.
R. P. White, of Elizabethtowv, Nomi
nated for Solicitor of Seventh Judi
cial District New Hanover In
dependent Jsm Play a Part
Col. A. H. Slocomb, of Cumberland,
was nominated without opposition and
with singular unanimity by the Sixt
District Republican Congressional
Convention, which" met yesterday at
Maxtot. Of course there may have
beeo, and probably were, other aspir
ants for the honor, but all differences
were se'.Ued and Col. Slocomb agreed
upon before the convention assembled.
All the counties in the District were
represented by about 50 delegate?.
N9W Hanover sent but one Assistant
Postmaster T. E. Wallace but he was
haaored with the position of perma
nent chairmta. Mr J. M. Forshee is
reported to have b sen present a the
haad of the "Independents" in New
Hanover, but rumor has it that his
credentials as such were not recogniz
ed. In other words the leaders seemed
to waat it a straight Republican affair
or nothing.
The convention was called to order
at 10 A. M. with Dr. B. M. Norment,
of Lumberton, in the chair and Enoch
L?e, of Dunn, as secretary. The per
manent organization resulted in the
choice of -Mr. Wallace for chairman
and the retention of Mr. Lee as secre
tary. The Committee on Platform and
Resolutions reported, through Oscar
J. 8pearp, Esq., of Harnett, former U.
S. Assistant District Attorney, deplor
ing the death of the late President
McKinley; commending the adminis
tration of President Roosevelt and the
coarse of Senator Jetar O. Pritchard;
condemning the Democratic State ad
ministration for extravagance, and
calling upon all good citizens to sup
port the Republican nominees.
The nomination of Col. Slocomb
was by B. F. McLao, Ejq., of Max
ton, who was himself prominently
spoken of for the place, and second
ing speeches were made by John Ua
derwood, of Cumberland, and Oscar
J. Spears, of Lillington, who closed
with a motion that the nomination be
made unanimous. The unanimity of
the convention was expressed by a
rising vote.
Col. Slocomb was present, and ad
dressed the convention. He outlined
the policy of his campaign and said he
would make the fight on national is
sues alone.
Under the plan of organization the
vote of ths convention was 70; the
number necessary to a choice 36; but
there never came need Jf a division,
so the figures were superfluous.
The Executive Committee for the
District was chosen. J. H. Dowing,
of Cumberland, is chairman and
Messrs. T. E. Wallace and Robert W.
Davis are the members from New
Hanover and Brunswick, respectively.
Upon adjournment of the Congres
sional Convention, the Seventh Dis
trict Judicial Convention assembled
and R. 8. White, Esq., of Elizabeth
town, was nominated for Solicitor in
opposition to the democratic nomlaep,
O. C. Lyon, Esq., of the same town.
The district is composed of the coun
ties of Bladen, Columbus, Cumber
land, Robeson and Brunswick.
The complexion of both conventions
is said to have been entirely white;
the colored brother of former years
was persona non grata in every sense
of the expression.
The following special was recaived
last night from Maxton:
"Maxton, N. C Sept. 16. The Re
publicans of this district held a short
caucus in the City Hall here last night
and met in convention this morning
about 9:30 o'clock. The convention
elected Mr. T. E. Wallace, of Wil
mington, chairman, and Mr. Lee, of
Harnett, secretary. Ths committee
reported no contestants. Mr. J. B.
Underwood nominated Mr. A. H.
Slocomb (bath of Fayetteville) for
Congressman. This was seconded by
Mr.B. F. McLean, of this place, who
moved that it be made unanimous.
Mr. O. J. Spears, of Harnett, seconded
this motion and Mr. Slocomb was
nominated by acclamation. Imme
diately afterwards the judicial con
vention was called by Mr. Slocomb,
with the same secretary. Mr. R. S.
White, of Elizabethtown, was nomi
nated unanimously for solicitor and
the convention adjourned."
Election of Directors of Y. M. C. A.
The active members of the Y. M. C.
A. will meet on Friday night to con
sider matters of great importance to
the Association. A few weeks ago a

THIRD CARQ0 OF COTTON
WAS CLEARED YESTERDAY.
Sf earner "Richard Qrenvllle" Goes to
Bremea News and Notes on the
River Front Yesterday.
The third cotton cargo of the season
for foreign export was cleared yester
day on the British steamer Richard

to-day for Bremen, Germany. She
carries 8,650 bale", valued at $390,000,
and is consigned by Messrs. Alexander
Sprunt 8c Son.
Cotton receipts yesterday were 3,761
bales, against 1,150 bales on the same
day last year. It is singular, but for
the past week the local cotton market
has remained at exactly the same quo
tations that were ruling on correspond
ing days last year, viz: 8 cents for
middling.

1 APPEAL
With the largest stock in North Carolina and the equa1
in quality and variety to any in the largest cities in America, I appeal, not
to the natural disposition which every good citizen has to support home
industry and enterprise, but to the pocket-books of those who contemplate
buying Furniture, and I beg them to see what I can do for them before they
send or carry their money away from home, never to return. As I know
that I not only can save them money, but give them a chance to get it back
again by circulating it at home.
