Tixz 3Hormug gfecc WILLIAM H. BEBVARD. WILMINGTON, X. C. Tuesday Mobbing Decembe 16. HAD THEIR BYE ON REED In speaking of the late Thos. B. Reed, jast after his death, we re marked that had he lived and con sented to run he might hare been the opponent of Theodore Roose velt for the Republican nomination in 1904. Whether he would have consented or not is a matter that was known only to jhimself and to those who were in his confi dence, but there are not wanting indications that he had not entirely discarded his political ambitions, while the fascinations of the Presi dency are such that there are few men who would not yield to them if there were any prospect of reach ing that position. It is said that Mr. Reed was sore ly disappointed in his failure to secure the nomination in 1896, for which he felt he had a better claim than Wm. McKinley, whom he had defeated for the speakership six years before, and it is not altogether improbable that this may have had much to do with his lack of accord with the MeKinley administration in the Spanish war and in its Phil ippine policy, to which he was strongly opposed and made a topic of both caustic criticism and sneering ridicule. This, of course, put him out of harmony with the leaders of the party, and led to his withdrawal from active politics and going to New York to take up the profession of law, from which his active life in politics had drawn him. This was practically beginning life anew, at an age which few men would have ventured it. Rut he had confidence in himself, and that is an important factor in the life of any man who reaches high or expects to accom plish much. His confidence was justified by the results, for from the first he took rank among the fore most at the bar and soon found a clientage which paid him well, so well that it is said his income from his practice was $50,000 a year ten times the salary of a Congressman so that from a business point of view he didn't make any mistake when he gave up politics for the law, and changed his field of action from Portland to New York, which seems to be the center of attraction for the statesmen who retire from politics and turn to law. In addition to that he is said to have been fortunate in his specula tive ventures by which he made $200, 000 in the past two years. With this and his professional earnings he was in such a position as to be financially independent, no longer compelled to depend upon his clients and fees to listen to the buzzing of the Presi dential bee, and reach out for the prize that he was so eager for six years ago and missed. In Xew York professionally and socially he was brought into close contact with the select few, and had little to do with the mass of the people. From temperament and habit thought he was more in accord with the few, whom he considered qualifi edto rule, than with the many whom he did not consider qualified to rule. It is known that these few were not in accord with Pres dent Roosevelt in some of his views, which they regarded as an tagonistic to their interests, and while thej did not deem it judi cious to publicly voice their opposi tion there was ground for the be lief that they would like to see him defeated for the nomination in 1904 and some other man more in har mony with the great business and industrial leaders nominated. There were two such men, both prominent in the public eye and both more or less famous, each having elements of strength to make him available as a candidate. One was Thos. B. Reed; the other Marcus A. Hanna. It was noted as a coincidence that Mr. Reed's article on trust legisla tion and tariff revision, in which he took uncompromising position against both, was given to the pub lic at the same time that the Presi dent's message was, and might in substance be regarded as an argu ment against the President's posi tion on the trust question and as an argument against tariff revision in any shape, thus bringing himself conspicuously before the public as the defender of the trusts and the protective policy as embodied in the Dingley tariff, the most out spoken utterance on these lines yet delivered by any man in public life. On the assembling of Congress and just after his magazine article had been given wide publicity by the press and editorial comments, he went to Washington, where he died within a few days. It has been said that part of his business there was to watch in the interests of the leaders of combines the movement! of Congress, and to check as far as possible any measures aimed at the combines. It is also aid that these combines will have quarters in Washington where or ganization will be effected and sys tematic opposition made to any such measures, in which event the services of so well-equipped a man as Mr. Reed, one with his legislative expe rience, and knowledge of methods of Tflrccettretf woxild have been invalu' able. . J Be this as it may, ' there is no doubt that he was one of the few men who measured up to their ideas of the kind of a man they wanted for President and since his death some of them have not hesitated to admit the fact that while in his death they have lost a man for whom they had a high regard, they also lost one on whom they counted much in the future and for whom there-were high honors in store if they could be instrumental in con ferring them. Some of them now make no secret of the fact that they had him in their eye to contest the nomination with Theodore Roose velt in 1904. Fate was against them. But there is still Marcus A. Hanna, if they can persuade him to accept "the job." CHRONIC COUGHS SPIRITS TURPENTINE. OFTEN ARE THE BEGINNING OF CONSUMPTION. Stop Your Cough and Avoid Future Trouble. We Will Guarantee That We Can Do It For Yo Our Vinol is the Remedy for ail Pulmonary Affections. WHO PUT UP THE JOB? The institution of the suit by the State of South Dakota against the State of North Carolina for the payment of $10,000 in bonds of the Western North Carolina railroad, was thought by many, to be a put up job in which the State of South Dakota was used as a cat's paw to make a test case for the benefit of others who held larger amounts of these bonds, which they probably bought at a nominal price. Some light is thrown upon the question how South Dakota got into it, and how she got the bonds, by the fol lowing which we clip from the Washington correspondence of the Raleigh Post, published in Sunday's edition: The very interesting ia formation developed to-day during the taking of testimony in the South Dakota bond suit that ex-Senator Marion Butler of North Carolina and ex-Senator Petti grew of Soath uakota jointly origi nated the Idea for bringing: this suit against the State of North Carolina. The hearing was held to day in the Senate annex before Special Commis sioner A. D. WatU. Ex-Governor Buaaell appeared for South Dakota and ex Chief Joatiee Jamea EL Shepherd and George Roantree represented North Carolina. Only two witneiaes were examined, ex-Senator Marion Butler and Congressman Chat. H. Burke of South Dakota. Thia enda the taking of testimony. Daring the day. ex-Governor Baasell, representing the plaintiffs, gave notice to counsel for the 8tate that on Mon day he would make a motion in the United 8tales supreme court to have all the depositions opened and the case set for argument. Ex Senator Butler testified that he represented Schaffer & Brother, of New York, the owners of a majority of the bonds in question, and when an effort was made to show why the ten bonds were transferred to South Dakota, the ex-senator declined to answer and threwhimself on professional privilege, a right that he had. The 8tate'a con tention ia that they were given to 8outh Dakota in order to bring suit and obtain standing in court. It was shown that Senator Butler visited 8outh Dakota and while inspecting State institutions there Pettigrew told him that the State university was in need of donations. The ex-senator's response was that some persons he knew might be willing to make dona tions. Congressman Burke's testimony was that he received the bonds from Col onel Stewart Stewart got them from Schaffer & Brother. Burke knew Pet tigrew in the transaction. If this be true it seems to have been a put up job by Senator Petti grew (Populist), and Senator (for he was then Senator) ;Butler (Popu list), who threw himself on his pro fessional privilege in declining to answer questions. If his action had Vinol is a preparation that Is de licious to take.

Following is a letter which has just come to hand and which shows how beneficially Vinol acted in one instance: "I had a severe cough of long stand ing. I was advised by friends to give your Vinol a trial, which I did. Before taking it I had tried many other reme dies for coughs without obtaining any relief. With Vinol it was different. I have now used four battles of it, and am pleased to say my cough has almost entirely left me. I have been decidedly benefited by its use in every way. Very I truly yours." H. E.

While speaking of hickory trees there is a hickory which grows in the central part of this State, and perhaps all over it, which bears a thin shell nut which in flavor equals the best pecan. They grow abun dantly in some counties, and find ready sale where their good qualities are known. Whether they could be improved by culture we do not know, but possibly they might, but whether or not, if planted in groves and cared for they would be valuable for both nut and timber.

He rot me one bottle of the medicine and I began to take it and before the first bottle was used up I began to get better. I used five and a half bottles and was completely cured. That was two years ago, and my health has been excellent ever since. Have had no symptoms of rheumatism. I regard " Ehetjmaoidb " as by far the best remedy for rheumatism on the market. I cannot say too much for It. I hare recommended It to others since and it has cured them. 'Will say further, that I began to walk in about six days after I began to take " Kbsumaoidb," with the aid of crutches ; In about three months after I began to take it, I could walk as good as anybody, and went back to work again.

GRAFIIIO PECAHS OH HICX0RY Pecan culture is making consider able progress in South Carolina, and in addition to that some of the growers are making some interesting experiments, one of which is graft ing pecans on hickory. As the hick ory tree, of several varieties, abounds in this State, we clip from the Charleston News and Courier the following, which may interest farm ers who have hickory trees on their land: Our Chester correspondent reports that Mr. EL T. Boyd, of Cornwell, Chester county, is taking- much Inter est in pecans, and adds: "He is making the experiment of grafting pecans on hickory sprouts. His success this year is encouraging. Some of his grafts have made a growth of five feet, while seedlings have done little more than get above ground." Mr. Boyd's success should make many imitators for his plan. Hickory treea and sprouts abound in the State. It ought to be good business for any land-owner to graft many such trees from the more valuable variety. Mr. Lege, of Green Pond, reported recent ly that he is Belling pecans from his fine trees at a dollar a pound. A farmer in Virginia writes to the Southern Planter that he has two old trees, which he values at $1,000 a piece, as the annual revenue derived from them is a fair rate of interest on that sum. Few hickory treet, or their fruit, are worth as much, to begin with, and it ia something besides to have pecan treea grow at the rate of five feet a year instead of a few inches. The grafts, we believe, should bear in three or four years, while seedling pecans do not. Moreover, as Mr. Lege has stated, peean stock ia subject to the destruc tive attacks of z'borers.n Hickory stock, with pecan grafts, should be proof to such attacks. Mr. Boyd's suc cess with his experimental renture is instructive, ' as well "encouraging," and may profit many farmers, who can take a hint quickly, This is an experiment that may be easily tried and tested by any farmer having hickory trees on his land, for For iaGrippe and In fluenza use CHENEY'S EXPECTORANT.

Senator Pritchard, of North Carolina says that the Republican party in the South is becoming a white man's party and the Demo crntic party a negro party.

Our Government will be fortunate if it does not become in volved in the imbroglio. There has been a feeling of apprehension in Washington, ever since the German and British squadrons appeared on the coast of Venezuela, that unless the greatest care were exercised our country would be drawn into the affair. It would not be surprising if the useless destruction of the Venezuelan navy should excite the sympathies of the American people for the Venezuelans, though, as a matter of fact, they are entitled to little, if any, sympathy.

Reuon Engineer Brown to HIa Danserom Poat. The risks-that firemen in big cities take ore an everlasting wonder, and the story of Bill Brown, as told by Cleveland Moffett in "Careers of Dar ing and Danger," showB that the en gineer's bravery is sometimes put to tests as severe as those which the hose man or the ladder man even has to endure. What happened was this: Engine 29, pumping her prettiest, stood at the cor ner so near the drughouse that the driver thought it wasn't safe for the horses and led them away. That left Brown alone, against the cheek of the fire, watching his boiler and keeping his steam gauge at seventy-five. As the fire gained chunks of redhot sandstone began to smash down on the engine. Brown ran his pressure up to eighty and watched the door anxiously Where the four firemen from his squad had gone Into the furnace. Then an explosion of chemicals in the building sent a flame wide as a house curling across the street, enwrap ping engine and man and setting fire to the elevated railway station over head. Bill Brown stood by his engine with a sheet of fire above him. He heard footsteps on the pavement and voices that grew fainter crying, "Run for your lives!" He was alone, and the skin on his hands, face and neck was blistered. Brown knew why every one was run ning. There would be another explo sion. H was tolerably certain that he must die if he stayed. But his four chums were in the fire and needed the water. If he quit his engine, the water would fall. He stoked in coal and ran the gauge up another notch, easing the running parts with the oiler. He was offering his life for his friends. In a few minutes the four firemen came out of the building. Then Bill Brown ran for his life with his com rades. A second or two later engine 29 was crushed by the falling walls.

The cotton futures market started firm and very active at an advance of seven to ten points. The initial rise was due to strong cables from Liverpool, where the marxet closed at a net rise of four and one-half points instead of showing a decline of one and one-half points due to match the closing - of the New York market Saturday. The English rise was attributed by pri vate cables to the appearance of Egyptian speculators, who were reported to have bought enormously loiiowing an advance in two days of f at Alexandria. Speculation in the local market broadened to the lareest volume of business since bureau day with all classes of buyers contending for supplies. The demand was accel erated if not originated by the contin ued failure of receipts to expand as preaictea, while the general ran of statistics show a continued subsidence in the visible supply of Ameri can cotton, now about 356,000 bales under last year's notwith standing the general movement for the season has been greater than' last year's.
