NOT TO BS A WALKOVER Since the adjournment of Congress politicians and newspaper correBpon- aems are carni.DK ineir sueuuuu more directly to 'matters political and to the outlook as to the chances ot Presidential candidates, present and prospective. While the friends VII (WlUIUt iWBBW - lieve that he will have a walkover in the next national Republican con vention, it is still a fact that there is strong opposition to him and that the opposition is not without hope of defeating him for the nomination. It may be noted that all of the men whose names have been men tion as contestants for the nomina tion are Western men, from which it may be inferred that the manipula tors of the respective movements against him hope to succeed by a combination of Western and South ern delegations, with what they can pick up from the East. Whatever encouragement they may have they are evidently working on this line. The latest move on the board is thus referred to in a Washington dispatch to the Charleston News and Courier: The latest tuipect as an anti-Administration candidate is Senator Bpooner, of Wiaconsin. A few weeks ago no one had any thought that Senator Bpooner could be Induced to allow the uteof his name. Now,, however, there la well founded belief in Administra tion circles that Spooner la being backed by capitalists, who would like to see Roosevelt put on "the shelf." The most recent story about Spooner la that his friends are about to take ad vantage of the Southern situation, and will endeavor to make trouble for the Administration in getting delegates from the South for the Senator from Wiaconsin. Oa behalf of the President it is said that he will make no conteat for the Bouthern delegates. He will not en ter into any acramble for votea in the Convention from any of the Southeen Btatet. lie has said that If his noml ation la to depend on delegates from States which have never gone Repub lican and which are not even remote ly likely to go Republican, because of the disfranchisement of the negroes, he will not accept It. He desires to be nominated, if he ia to be the atandard bearer In 1904, by votes from North ern States, where there is a fighting chance for Republican electors. Thla is a notice to the country that he will eliminate the South from tLr convention, because he thinks that only the States that give Republican majorities ahould be allowed to name national candidates. The report comes from Milwaukee that friends of Sena tor Bpooner have organized a move ment to get the Southern delegatea for him. This movement was started In the Wisconsin Legislature, where resolution waa passed calling for an Inter State conference to discuss the negro situation. This is said to be a Bpooner scheme. Senator Spooner will naturally figure in the canvass aa the truat candidate, because he has contended, until the Supreme Court I of the United States rendered lta de cision In the lottery cases, that the power of Congress to regulate Inter state commerce had been exhausted, and that the only way in which fur- tber progreaa could be made would be to have a constitutional amendment passed. It is something of a coincidence that Spooner's name has come to the front almost simultaneously with the Wisconsin scheme for a convention of delegates from differ ent States to "settle the race ques tion," a movement that isn't meet ing with any noticeable encouraging response from Sonthern Governors, who do not believe that thorace question can "be settled" by such a convention or that the delegates would be quite competent to accom plish the task. They may have some serious in tention of entering Spooner for the race but that will depend, ad we see it, very'much on what Mark Hanna thinks and on whether he may con clude to go in himself. If he should so conclude we think all the other candidates talked of would be side tracked and it would be a clear field run between him and Roosevelt, with the chances in Ilanna's favor. This opposition is not confined to a few of the Western States, but is, on the contrary, wide-spread, ex tending over to the Pacific States. Aa showing this we clip the follow ing from a Cheyenne, Wyoming, letter to the Washington Post: "It is very probable that not only Wyoming, but aeveral other Western States, wUl send antagonistic delega tions to the next Republican National Convention, delegations which will oppose the nomination of President Roosevelt for the Presidency." Bo spoke Gov. De Forest Richards, of Wyoming, when asked for a state ment of political conditions in his State and in adjoining Western States. 'Wyoming,' he continued, "la strongly Republican and there exists no reason to believe that it will be otherwise In the coming Presidential campaign. But President Roosevelt la acting In a manner which Is radical ly opposed to his Interest I am per sonally friendly to President Roose velt and believe that he looks upon me in the same friendly light as I . iuw uuu iu mj huouiuuUi huu mm sorry to see that he Is pursuing the course he Is regarding forestry. "It is very apparent to us here that he is acting on bad advice, and the pursuance of his preaent policy will make him enemies where he now has friends. "The policy he is following is mak ing of Wyoming and some of the other Western States mere game pre serves. We are looking for settle ment and consequent growth of the commercial importance of our Btatet. We favor the preservation of the forests, but the object as we see it, and desire accomplished, ia to pre serve the trees on the mountain sides and topi so as to protect our water supply. Water is what we need. We cannot support a policy which sets apart great areas of land, the only land suitable for settlement, so that Eastern pleasure-seekers may have a place to hunt and fish and camp out for the season. ' "We are desirous of preserving the people, not the animals. "The policy now being pursued by President Roosevelt is causing the withdrawal from entry of much of our beat lands; its is restricting possibili ties of immigration, and if continued, will keep Wyoming and other States similarly situated In the. claas or arid 8tates, "We wish to depart from tnat ciaas and make of Wyoming one of the fort -moat in agriculture, through the op eration of the irrigation law, aa it is possible to do. We want to raise ag ricultural products, ndt wolves, bear and other came for the purpose of making Wyoming a game preaerve for Eastern sportsmen. "Unless President Roosevelt makes a sudden and radical change in bis nolicv. it is Dractlcallv certain that an antagonistic delegation will go from Wyoming, and very probably from other States of the West, where forea- tation ia a paramount question, aa It concerns the water supply, the most important question which we nave to deal." There may be something in this, there may be nothing, but still there is enough outside of it to show that while Roosevelt may secure the nomination, it will not be without opposition and possibly formidable opposition, too. But the time for the convention is more than a year off and many things may happen in that time, and Borne of them entirely unexpected. WHAT CO-OPERATION DOES. We made mention a few days ago of a letter from High Point in the Baltimore Sun in which it was stated that there are now in that town fifty-one factories, most of them furniture factories, which turn out annually 13,500,000 worth of furniture. In point of number, if not the value of output, this makes High Point the leading furni ture manufacturing town in this country. From an insignificant railway station twenty years ago, with a population of not more than a thousand people, it has become a prosperous and growing town of seven or eight thousand population, adding to its industries every week and opening up new avenues of em ployment for those seeking labor. As an illustration of its continuous growth the Enterprise of last week notes the fact that forty new resi dences have been built within the past two months. No better illustration could be given of the power and results of co-operative effect than this town gives in the number and value of its manufacturing industries, which have been so developed at a point which possessed no special advan- tages'and where there was but little money to operate with in the be ginning, lint the start was made with that little, the way was blazed, and energy, perseverance and co operation did the rest. Having demonstrated all this High Point is now in a position where industries' seek her instead of her seeking industries, and she can command all the money she wants for anything she turns her atten tion to. She is a bright example for other towns in the State, some of which in point of locality and otherwise have decidedly greater advantages than High Point had when she started out on industrial lines. FLEECING THE INNOCENTS. Notwithstanding arrests and ex posures, negro sharpers are still fleecing-confiding darkies ont "of their money on the strength of the ex-slave pension fake. The latest captnre is thus .reported from New Orleans: "B.C. Colston Is in jail in New Iberia, La., charged with having mulcted the negroes of that section under the Banna slave pension bilL He came to New Iberia some days ago and began enrolling the negroes of that town in the Independent Science Association of the United State. This he told them, gave them an interest in any pension that might be voted for slaves by Congress. Colston is in jail awaiting the action of the grand jury jor obtaining money under false pre tense. An examination of his papers show a lot of receipts, bogus agree ments and the by-laws and constitu tion of some bogus association for the obtaining of pensions for ex-slaves. It is not so surprising that the in nocent should be taken in by these sharpers as it is that the sharpers should follow up the game when they run so much risk of being caught and taken in by the police. The class of people preyed upon sel dom see newspapers and couldn't read them if they did, so that they make easy victims; but they talk, and by talking give the sharpers away. When caught these fellows play the role of innocents them selves and pretend to be acting as agents" of a "society" which sends them out. Tho penitentiary is the proper place for them and yet they are not really as culpable as the white men who spring schemes which give them an opportunity to take advantage of and swindle the ignorant and confid ing of their race out of their hard earnings, the only effect that such delusive schemes as these pension bills and-kindred fakes can have. What adds to its meanness is that with the politician its inspiration is politics, regardless of the harm it does the negroes. The State of Texas is going to make it hot for the iron trust by running furnanes in her peniten tiary. Stats or Ohio, City or Toledo.

How unjust the whole American people have been to Senator Morgan in thinking that he wanted to per forate the treaty. Richmond Netos- Leader, JJem. The Wisconsin statesman who wants a "race convention" held at Atlanta to solve the negro prob lem, has been turned down verp pro perly, not only by the white South ern leaders, but by the most intelli gent and enlightened negroes. There is no need of any such con ference; if there is anything the people of the South know, it is the practical Bide of the race question. tf the Wisconsin people want any information on the subject, a brief residence hereabouts will furnish them all the eye-opening facts they may be looking for. Chattanooga Times, Ind. The founding of a new rail road line from New Orleans, on the Gulf, and Denver, Colorado, by way of Salt Lake City to San Francisco, to be known as the Western Pacific Railway, under which name it has been incorporated in the last-named city, indicates the confidence of the capitalists behind it in the promised increasing trade with the Orient. It also indicates their belief that an Isthmian Ship Canal, which all the railroads have steadily opposed, will not really injure, but will probably benefit, their business by increasing the trade facilities between the oceans.

North Carolina General Assembly Closed Its 1903 Session Mori- -day Afternoon. PRESENTS FOR THE OFFICERS. Public Appropriations aid Their Diatribe Uon-Dlvlde School Faad$10,000for St. Lonls Exposition Speaker Gittli Says Partlnj Word Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. G, March 9. The Qeneral Assembly of North Carolina adjourned at 2 o'clock this afternoon. having been in session , since noon, January 7tb. The closing scenes were. aa usual, characterized by alternate sea sons of hard work and levity. Espe cially did the House indulge ia a merry round of jovial speeches of a personal and general character and join ever and anon in patriotic, comic, social and sacred songs. The Senate main tained a more dignified mien, but a goodly choir of Senators, not to be outdone or rather out-sung by the House, gathered in the lobby back of the Speaker's desk and sang "Caro lina," "God be with you till we meet again" and numerous other songs, the ladies in the galleries joining right heartily. In the House a splendid case of sil ver was presented to Speaker Gattis, the speech being a most eloquent one by Hon. R. A. Doughton, of Alle ghany. Also, presents were made to the chief clerk, doorkeeper and others. The last roll call was answered by 75 members of the Houso and 40 Sena tors. A bill was introduced, it passed both branches and was ratified, prescribing the following distribution of the $300,- 000 bond issue provided for: $204,500 in notes and Interest due the raric National Bank, of New York; $48,788 in notes to the Raleigh Savings Bank; $7,000 to the SUte Hospital at Morgan ton; $5,000 to the Deaf and Dumb school at Morgan ton; $5,000 to the Geological Survey; $4,760 to the State Hospital at Raleigh; $10,000 to the School for the Blind at Raleigh ; $6,000 for the 8Ute University; $854 to the State Normal and Industrial College. The Senate devoted over two boura to a vigorous and at times bitter fight on the feature of the appropriations bill which required the $10,000 appro priation to the A. and M. College to be paid for the first year out of the Trea sury Instead of out of the funds of the State Board of Agriculture. The con tention in the Senate was that the en lire appropriation should be paid by the Board of Agriculture. The roll call ballot on accepting the reportof the conference committee agreeing to the payment of the $10,000 from the State Treasury, waa a tie, 20 to 20, and Presi dent Tamer cast his Tote for concur rence, thereby closing the fight. Senators Glenn and Lamb filed their protests. Agreement was necessary to perfect the enactment of the general appropriations bill, carrying $1,050, 000 appropriations to the State institu tions. A bill paased and was ratified appro priating $10,0OQ from the Btate Tiea aury, not otherwise appropriated, to the St. Louis exposition. Also, a bill creating a commission to represent the State at the Exposition. In the House, King. of Pitt, called up his bill for a constitutional amendment for the diviaiou of the school fund paid by the races, urging that it should past. It was tabled and King entered his pro test on the journal. A bill waa introduced, passed and ratified to regulate employes of future Legislatures. It provides eleven pages for the House and seven for the Ben ate; twelve laborers for the House and ten for the Senate. When the Senate hour for adjourn ment had arrived the doors between the Senate and House swung open so the Speaker of the House and Presi dent of the 8enate faced each other and Speaker Gattis of the House said: "The work of this General Assem bly is now done. For sixty days we have labored faithfully for what we conceived to be the best interest of all the people of our beloved State. As the presiding officer of this House, I have had opportunity to observe with care the works and actions of its mem bers and I am glad to say that I have seen nothing said or done which did not in my judgment proceed from a sincere ana honest desire to advance the best interests of the Btate. We commit our work to the fair and juat conameration or those who have con fided to us their political interests. It affords me great pleasure at this last closing hour of the session to say that. in me aiscnarge or the duties or pre siding officer, I have had the kind and considerate support of every member of this body. No incident mars the memory of your association. There has at all times prevailed deference and courtesy among the members. I am sure that without regard to party or political differences, we separate with none but kindly sentiments one to the other. "It is a cause for great thankfulness that we have had so little sickness and that the hand of death has not been laid upon any member or employe of tnu ueneral Aaaembly. "In accordance with the joint reso lution of the two houses, I do hereby declare this house adjourned sine die." Immediately thereafter the gavel of President Turner fell in the Senate as he declared that branch of the Senate also adjourned without a day. Many members left on the after noon and evening trains for their homes. A Desperate CosvicL Fayetteville Observer: "The first convict to be sent to the Cumberland county roads, from another county, arrived here from Bladen this morn ing and was taken out to the convict camp on ino awiuiu ruu, seven miles from Fayetteville.

Weat to Convict Camp at Castle Hayies d Said He Had as Well Befla Work Preliminary Trial Be fore Justice J. J. Fowler. Burt Green, a notorious county criminal, who has served terma on the cbain gang almost as many times as he has fingers and toes, was arrested yeaterday and committed to jail by Justice Fowler in default of $100 bond to answer at the next term of Superior Court the charge of waylaying and as saulting with Intent to kill Mr. Sterl ing Allen, the railroad bridge tender at Hilton. The crime was committed last Sat urday afternoon, and is one of the most outrageous in the history of the county. Borne three weeks ago the negro who assaulted Mr. 'Allen came over the bridge and walked on the draw while it was being turned for a vessel to pass. That was contrary to the rules of the railroad and endanger ed the lives and limbs of persons . so doing. Mr. Allen at the time ordered the negro off and had words with him. The negro said he would get even. Saturday afternoon, in company with 15 or 20 other negroes, Green came over the bridge again. He was drunk and when he approached Mr. Allen on the western aide of the river he began cursing him and said he came for sat iaf action. G reen carried a round atick in his hand and he dealt Mr. Allen a blow in the face and as he dodged, he received another on the side of the head, badly Injuring his. left eye and cutting a 3-inch gash to the bone in the bridge tender's cheek. Mr. Allen grappled with his assailant and came near pitching him overboard from the bridge, but the watchman's hands were bloody and too negro slipped through them and escaped. No white persons were near and the negroes stood calmly by and saw that the scoundrel was not worsted in the en counter. Mr. Allen after the auault came' over on this aide of the river and a telephone message brought Dr. Harllee Bellamy, who dressed the wound. Chief of Police Furlong Immediate ly set to work on the case, although it was out of the city limits, and fixed the negro's identity upon Burt Green. He then put his men on a 'sharp look-out 'or the criminal, who found that it was not healthy for him in tbe city and sought refuge ia tbe convict camp at Castle Haynes. Mr. W. H. Shearin learned from Green that he was wanted and Mr. Shearin commu nicated with police headquarters in Wilmington. - Green said he was will ing to begin work on the "gang" at once but it was thought best to ob serve the formality of a trial and Sergeant Ward, of the police depart ment, went up to Castle Haynes and brought the negro to the city. He also brought another ex-convict Samuel Moffitt, who witneaaed vthe assault Chief Furlong turned the case over to Justice Fowler as the offence was com mitted outside the city and Green waa dealt with as stated. The negro says he was drunk and pleaded guilty to the charge of assault with a- deadly weapon. Justice Fowler will, how ever, .see that the negro ia tried for the felony of waylaying and assault with intent to kill THE LOCAL MARKETS AND SHIPPINQ.

ARRESTED FOR ENTERINQ STORE Police Are WorUag es Jscobi Hardware Robbery Justice McQowsa's Court.

The boys were committed to jail, pending preliminary trial before Jus tice McGowan today or to-morrow.

THE PENNELtfTRAQEDY AT BUFFALO, NEW YOkl Mrs. Pessell Died Without Regstslsg scUsssess-Experts Decide thej ' aobllf Wrcc Wss AcclderJ by TsiecTSDh to tbe Morning Btar. Buffalo, N. Y., March 11 Mrs Arthur Pennell died at the Biaters of Charity hoapital to nfght at 8 o'clock. For hours to-day the surgeons worked over the unconscious form of the in jured woman. A faint twitching of the eyelids or a murmur of pain were tbe only signa of returning conscloua ness perceptible during- the twenty four hours the Injured woman was iu the hospital ward. Except for a few incoherent words, uttered when eb was first taken to tbe hospital, Mr. Pennell's Hps did not move. Mrs. Abbte Y. Pennell, J. Freii Pennell, mother and brother of th i dead man, and Henry W. Lamb, h brother ot Mrs. Pennell, arrived iu the city this afternoon from New York. They were at once driven t the 8isters hospital. They were ad mitted to the ward where Mrs. Per.- ielt lay unconscious and stood besido hr for fifteen minutes. During thvt time the iojured woman did not move. They left the ward and were taken iu the Pennell home on Cleveland ave nue. All callera at the Pennell houoe thla afternoon were denied admission. A at o'clock J. Fred Pennell, Mr. Lamb and Thomas Penney, ex district attorney and a former partner of Mr. Pennell, went to the Austin buildinc and searched the desk of the dead man. A policeman, who baa been on guard ever since the fatal accident oc curred, stood by while the search was being made. A number of important documenta were found, including a will of recent date. The automobile which carried Mr. Pennell and his wife in tbe piunge to the bottom of the stone quarry oa Kensiogton aveLue last nieht, wax carefully examined to day. The brake and levers were given particularly close attention. Experts in the con struction and manufacture of automo biles were called in. The result of the examination left no doubt in the mlndaof any of the men present thi Mr. Pennell did everything in bis power to regain control of tho vehicle when it careened. The brakes were tightly set; the power indicator point ed to "reverse" and the track of the wheels in the soft earth on the ridvre between tbe street pavement and Um quarry showed that the wheels were turning backward when the machinn sped foward to destruction. Prior to the examination of the au tomobile, which wss made by em ployes of the concern that told tbe vehicle to Pennell, Medical Examiner Danaer visited the place where the ac cident occurred. Afterwards be said: "Pennell put on the brake of tho automobile In tho effort to stop tho fatal plunge In the Gebres quarry last night. I have examined tbe grout t on the edge of the quarry. The right whrela bad ploughed ud tbe prouotf, while the left made a smooth track. From these indications I should judtri Pennell tried to stop tho machine."

It was bis cus torn to take a ride with Mrs. Pennell in his automobile every morning and afternoon. Nearly every evening also he and Mrs. Pennell took long walks.
