The parcels post section is radi cally different from that incorporat ed in the house bill, which provided flat rate postage for all distances, The senate provision is that of the Bourne bill, slightly modified. Mr. Bourne recommended that third and fourth-class mall matter be com bined for parcels post service, but the bill makes parcels post apply only, to fourth-class matter.

The road will be graded alongside the Caralelgh branch of the South era railway, which for years has been used by the old Raleigh Southport, and at the Caraleigh Phosphate Mills the new line will cross Walnut creek, a little distance to the right of the old one and be very much stralghter and get lighter grade .at the same time.

After climb ing to" the topmast of the Hartford Farragut s old flagship, now moored at the Naval Academy wharf, and piercing his cap with a spike at the highest point, thus ruininng an academy tradition thought to be a necessity for all newly entered mid shipmen, William L. Bullock, who entered ' the institution only six weeks ago, fell a hundred feet to the deck while attempting to de scend and broke his neck, dying In stantly. His father, W, L. Bullock Sr., of Corslcana, Texas, has been in formed of the tragedy. Young Bullock was an excellent Dhyslcal specimen, being six feet in height and well proportioned. He possessed aptitude for the naval ser vice. He reached the highest point of the mainmast without serious difn culty and transfixed his cap on the spike at the tap. in attempting to descend. Bullock tried to slide down k single rope and bis hands were evi dently burned by the rapid descent. He attempted to grab the mast, or other ropes and lost his hold com oletelv. :" Bullock struck the crossbars of the mast in his fall. Naval surgeons were brought to the scene and after an examination they stated that death must have been instantaneous.

EDITORS TAKE HOLIDAY!! TO DEFEAT WOOL Bill Republicans Will Block This Part of Legislation Poll of Senate Indicates Tliat Demo cratic Measure Will Not Get TIii-oiiRb Excise Tax Rill t Be Passed Other Washington Gos sip. ; Washinstou, July 23. Polls of the senate made by interested senators indicate that the democratic wool bill will be defeated, the democratic excise tax bill will be passed and that a substitute for the democratic free sugar bill will be adopted. It will happen thus if a compact between the regular and insurgent republican senators is carried out. The substitute sugar bill will elimi nate the refiners differential and the No. 16 Dutch standard of color test and will make a very slight reduc tion of the prevailing tariff rates on sugar. During the extra session of con gress a year ago the insurgent re publicans of the senate . worked in open alliance with the democratic senators in order to pass hills through the senate making reduc tion of the steel, cotton and wool tariff which they considered exorbi tant. Because of the impending na tional campaign, in which they wish to figure as protectionists, the "pro gressives" have been induced to with draw from their democratic alliance. The insurgent and regular republi cans together have 51 seats in the senate, and the democrats but 43 Without insurgent aid the senate democrats are helpless and the form er group have found it politic to co operate with the stand patters to shelve the democratic tariff program until after the election. The insurgents and the regulars, however, do not form a happy fam ily, and its reunion Is a decidedly unstable affair. On behalf of the regulars, Snioot ,of Utah, prepared a (Continued on Page Five.) SCHEDULES FILED IN BANKRUPTCY CASE Mr. W. H. Pace, attorney for Mr. Walter Woollcott, today tiled wi'.h the clerk of the federal court tue schedule in the bankruptcy case of the Woollcott's Dry Goods. The assets are placed at $29,911.52 and the . liabilities at $25,040.05 Mr. Joseph B. Cheshire, Jr., was appointed temporary receiver until the creditors meet August 30 and elect their agent. His bond was placed at $5,000. It Is hardly probable that the creditors will realize more than fifty cents on the dollar, as the goods are of such a nature that their face value can never be re alized. Of the assets $20,800 con sists in merchandise; $6,100 in real estate; $1,200 in fixtures and $1,046 in open accounts. The three principal creditors are the Citizens National Bank, $5,850 Raleigh Savings Bank & Trust Company, $5,100, and A. Sculffman Slreensbgro, f6,fl55 . . FULL TICKET Asbury Park, July 23.

TO CONNECT RALEIGH AND GOLDSROItO BY ELECTRICITY, Tall and very large cypress poles are being delivered along 'the:. line between the Carolina Power & Light substation, west of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, and Golds boro. The line crosses the Raleigh Charlotte & Southern railway near Sylvaola, and the distance to th sub-station at Goldsboro, which two miles west of that place, I trifle over forty-five miles.-. Ther has been no trouble about the righ of-way for the line in Wake county Short Streets. Some streets in Raleigh are very little known, one of these being ex treme east Morgan, which for a space of only one block has an existence extending from the west side of the soldiers' home grounds. The old City Cemetery comes in between this street s links. There are several streets which have a total length of . only about a city block. Concrete Paving. 1 1 is gratifying to know that so much concrete work is being don and that many miles of new sidewalk are ordered to be laid. There are many places which sorely need thi improvement, and even on Fayette ville street there are stretches where it ought to have been done long ago. Trying to be a Christian on the installment plan is waste of. time. lay Send Message to Senate Advocating Its Repeal 9- 23. Some of he President Taft'sv -b believe will send a messagv s ingress re garding the repeal of'-vty ciprocity act and he may outline fcosition n his speech of acceplanc&when the Chicago convention's committee noti- es him August 1. Senate leaders say the president has not had any irect' communication with the nance committee on the subject nor sent any communication saying he favored the repeal of the act. Mr. Taft will not withdraw his own sup port of Canadian reciprocity, It is nderstood, but will take the nosi- tion that the United States should not continue an offer that Canada refuses to accept. DETECTIVES PAID ELEVEN THOUSAND Bristol. Tenn., July 23.--The man hunters who have been searching for Sidna Allen and Wesley Edwards since the Hillsville court room tra gedy, March 14, last, have demanded and received a settlement from the state of Virginia for their services W. (3. Baldwin, chief of the de tectives, has been to Richmond to confer with Governor Mann, and it reported that a Settlement has been reached by which the state pays the detectives $11,000 in fees for their services. For weeks the detectives scoured the mountains of Carroll county at great cost, raiding numerous houses, watching the movements of individ uals, searching caves, and doing all things else that are done by the suc cessful man-hunt. Bases of opera tion were established and maintain ed at heavy cost. Sidna Edwards was. the first of the gang to sur render. Claude SwanBon Allen sur rendered at the point of a gun, and Briel Allen surrendered at his fa ther's home, where he had returned, 111 and hungry after roaming through the mountains for many days. - But Sidna Allen and Wesley Ed wards are still at large, and despite inquiries made in every part of the country, no definite clue seems to have been obtained. The fugitives have been reported from almost ev ery part of the country, but in spite of this, many of the residents of Carroll county are firm in the belief that the two men so much wanted are still in hiding in the mountains of Carroll county. . SOLDIERS' HOME GIVEN NEW COAT OF" PAINTING. The Soldiers' Home is always an interesting place to visit, yet very few Raleigh people go there. All the buildings have been repainted and present an extremely attractive appearance. In the hospital there are much fewer of the veterans than usual, but this is because death has been so busy at the home. Dur ing the first half of the year already forty of the inmates of the home have died; thirty-seven are fn the hospital and the others in their quarters. This is a tremendous death-rate, but it is due to the fact that the average age of the inmates Is over. seventy-five years. It means an average of nearly two deaths a week. : TIMBER "WORKERS INDICTED FOR RIOTING AND MURDER. Lake Charles, La., July 23. A. L.
