Poll Ticket Nominated in Opposition to the "Refnlars" In Cumberland Mr McKethan Evidently Displeased With Local Turn of Aff sirs. Special Star Telegram. uoldsbobo. N. U Oct. 10. in a special given to the press from Dunn, Sept 25th, I said: "E. R. McKethan. the Independent candidate for Con gressional honors in the sixth district will, in the event he cannot get Slo- comb to retire from the race, withdraw himself. This will be favorable to Patterson, the Democratic nominee. It was rumored at Fayetteville to-day that the Republican plan was to in duce McKethan to continue in the race till the eve of the election in the interest of Slocomb, but McKethan, who is a personal friend of Gib Patter son, will not pose as the decoy duck of 81ocomb or the Republican party" It gives me great pleasure to say to night that I am authorized by Mr. Mc Kethan to state that he withdraws from the race in the interest of his personal friend, Gib Patterson, the regular Democratic nominee, for the very reason that he is Independent. and further, that he. McKethan, has nothing in comman with the Inde pendent movement in his, Cumberland county, but will support the regular Democratic county ticket for the self same reason that, while he was Inde pendent, that it by no means implied that he did not know and did not in tend to stand for what was for the best interests of the people of his section and that as between Mr. Slocomb, with his record, and Mr. Patterson, the very fact that he was Independent de manded that he cast his ballot for the latter. That when he re called the "deserter bill" and Mr. Pritchard's action in 1885, when the "question of Confederate pensions" was before our State Legislature again his independence would demand that he vote for no man who would vote for the re-election of Senator Pritch- ard. That he would do this, no mat ter what he was classed politically, as he would rather be commandant of a small camp of Confederate Veterans and of the Spanish American war veterans, with honor, than to go to the United States Congress by action or votes tainted with dishonor. It will be recalled that when Mr. McKethan, who is the very soul of honor, decided to become independent, he promptly sent to Gov. Aycock his resignation as a member of the State Legislature and that he has not par ticipated in any convention whatso ever. C. J. Riven ark. The Fayetteville Observer gives the following account of the Cumberland County Independent Convention in that city on Thursday: A number of "Indenendents" met to-day at noon at the Central Hotel, and atter adopting an address to tne people, setting forth the reasons for their action, nominated the following county ticket, which they style the "Good Government Democratic Ticket:" For Sheriff.

It is said tnat tne "inaepenaems have an understanding with the Re publicans, and that they will work in harmonv. but whether this is true or not we are unable to ascertain. Mr. McD.

VERDICT NOT YET REACHED. Superior Court Took a Recess Until Moo day-Several Matters Continued and Others Will Be Heard Next Week The Arguments. The jury to determine the issues in the Penny damage suit in the Superior Court took the case at. 12:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. This morning at 5 :30 o'clock, after seventeen hours deliberation, they are no nearer a verdict, so far as the pub lic is informed, than they were when they first retired. An agreement is regarded as practi cally impossible and a juror will likely be withdrawn and a mistrial ordered this morning. Upon the conclusion of the case yes terday. Judge Bryan announced that he desired to go home and would hear co further causes this week. A recess was accordingly taken until 10 A. M. Monday. It was agreed by the at torneys interested that the Clerk should take the verdict of the jury in the Penny case in the event an agree ment is reachod. Upon the convening of the court yesterday morning at 9:30 o'clock, Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy concluded a very brilliant effort for the defendant in the damage suit. He was followed by Marsden Bellamy, Esq., for the plain tiff, also in an able and convincing ar gument. Then followed Judge Bryan's charge to the jury, which was about half an hour in length. Opinions differ as to which side His Honor's construc tion of the law and facts favored. It waf, however, fair and impartial. The jury remained in animated dis cussion of the issues until 1:30 P. M., when in charge of Deputy W. H. Cox they took dinner at the Dixie Cafe. At 7 o'clock last night they appeared to be as wide apart as ever, and were given supper at the cafe. Last night the early hours were spent in still fur ther discussion of the issues, but later most of the number went to sleep on the questions. The jury was espec ially fortunate in having one of its number a furniture man. Early in the evening Mr. E. H. Sneed had a dozen cots brought up from his store on Market street and placed In the main court room at the disposal of his fellow jurors. It is safe to say that no jury ever fared better so far as accom modations are concerned. The issues were submitted to the jury as follows: I. W. Solomon, John Dyer, W. H. M. Koch, E. H. Sneed, Chsrles D. Foard, Ike K. Pinner. W. E. Koonce, Richard J. Jones, F. A. Montgomery, Geo. Harris, "Walter G. McRae and C. D. Gilbert. Mr. Penny sues the railroad for $20,000 damages and the issues are as follows : Was the plaintiff injured by the negligence of the defendant ? Did the plaintiff by his own neg ligence contribute to his injury ? What damage, If any, has plaintiff sustained f The following cases were continued yesterday morning : Hicks vs. Blair; Hicks vs. Healy; Monk vs. City of Wilmington. In Wirght vs. Bonham. the plain- tiff took a non suit. It was sgreed that the first case to be taken up Monday will be that of Meta H. Hullen vs. City of Wilming ton. It was set for yesterday but had to go over as Judge Bryan desired to leave for home. The second case Monday will likely be that of 8. P. Cowan Livery Co. vs. City or Wil mington in which the plaintiff seeks to enforce payment for the police pa trol wagon. So far as the Board of Aldermen is concerned, it simply desires to confess judgment but the other co-ordinate branch of the city government desires to resist payment upon the ground that the purchase was not made through the ordinary channels. The latter branch is the Board of Audit and Finance, which has employed ex-Judge E. K. Bryan to defend its position. City Attorney Bellamy, will defend the suit in behalf of both boards. The case of Hullen vs. City is for $1,500 damages by reason of street ex cavations which injured plaintiff's property at southeast corner of Front and Brunswick streets. Plaintiff also asks $300 rent and interest. The suit was instituted in April, 1897. Messrs. Herbert McClammy and Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy represent the plaintiff and he defendant's case will be looked after by City Attorney Bellamy and ex-Judge E, K. Bryan. Yesterday the case was called and the continuance made as noted above. The following jurors were in the box: J. G. King, H. B. Taylor, Joe Kirk- ham, G. Henry Haar, B. B. Pridgen, George Irving, B. N. Bowden, Carl B. Rehder, Louis Bissenger, J. R. Boyd and L. T. Morris. These were ordered to return Monday for duty (or the day. No talesmen were ordered summoned. Yom Kippor Being Observed.

The significance of the holiday has already been published in these columns. :." ' Have you registered ? THE POLITICS OF BRUNSWICK.

Crude turpentine went up In proportion, local quotations having been $1.75$2.80 for hard and dip, re spectively. Cotton receipts continue heavy daily, but are now on the average not much ahead of the corresponding days last year. The week's receipts up to and including yesterday were 34,436 bales. against 28,283 bales same week last year. The receipts since Sept. 1st, this year, have been 121,138 bales, or nearly half what they were during the entire year of 1901-1902. Last year's receipts to date were only 48,265 bales. The British steamer Baron Eldon cleared yesterday for Bremen with a cargo of 12,931 bales, the heaviest of the season. The receipts of naval stores since April 1st show a slight increase over last year in spirits and crude but there is a small falling of in rosin and tar. The week's receipts ended yes terday were: Spirits, 625; rosin 1,418; tar, 1,325; crude, 697. Last year: Spirits, 458; rosin, 1,326; tar, 1,658, crude, 517. The British 8teamer Plympton, Capt.

The great act of Diavolo in "loop-ng-the-loop" on a bicycle is a practi cal demonstration of the fact that the man that works the greatest number of hours doesn't always earn the most money. Diavolo actually works 12 seconds at each performance. For these 12 seconds work, he receives $166.66-2-3, or $1,000 a week. The law of supply and demand is directly and absolutely responsible for the price paid for the act. It is a fact that Dia volo is the only man in the world who has ever successfully accomplished this remarkable feat Others have tried it four in number to date and all four have failed at the first at tempt. Every trial has resulted in serious or fatal injury. The last vic tim made the attempt on June 14, 1902. at Sheepshead Bay, N. Y., the result being two broken ribs, a broken collar bone and the loss of the sight of his left eye. The management of the Forepaugh- Heil8 ohows has endeavored in every way to find another man who could successfully perform the act, so that in case of injury to Diavolo they would have a substitute to fall back on. The owners of the show have even gone to the extent of having a duplicate "loop" built at Sheepshead Bay, where applicants are given every opportunity to prove their ability to successfully circle the concentric coil.
