THURSDAY, FEB. 22, 1006. H. A LONDON, Editor.. Ever since the adoption of our suffrage amendment and the elim ination of the ignorant negroes from politics, constant and con tinued efforts and arguments have been made by Republican speak ers and papers to make decent Democrats think that the Repub lican party in - this State is re spectacle enough for them to join. Is it? No, not even if high Republican authority can be relied on. A po litical party that is controlled by & few "Bosses" cannot be auy better than its bosses. The Re publican party in this State is divided into two hostile factions. Rollins, as chairman of the StaJ:e r xecative committee, is the leader of one faction, and Blackburn, the only Republican Congressman from this State, is the leader of the other faction. If what is said of each other by those two leaders is true, neither is tit to be the leader of good and patriotic citi zens of any party. Each of these lactions accuses the other of not trying to build up the Republican party in this State, but only try ing to get control of all the feder al offices. The truth of this accusation vas very forcibly asserted last week in a speech by one of the ablest and moat respectable Republicans in the South, Hon. Yilliam P. By- Severe Earthquake In Ecurdpr.

" Asheville, Feb. 18.-Two per sons were killed and . half a dozen others luiuied in a "head-on col-; from Apex" to lislon of passenger trains between Swannauoa and Black Mountain this afternoon, shortly after 4. o'clock. Several passengers were j slightly bruised and "shaken up,! but not seriously hurt. 1 j The accident is giiid to be duej to the failure of the first section ;. of No. 12, east-bound, to take the ; siding at Swannanoa. Train Np. j 11 from the east was operated in , two sections this afternoon. The ; engine was sent, with the engineer i first section came in about- 2 o with this provision in the oni I ii l 11 l.,r.l,A in islands were inhabited by .lithei- J . ni)aa 11)ir, with tiro amount of money aud le davs until the water became suf fiiiently calm to ' enablethem to reach the mainland. The city of Esmeralads was nearly inundated by a tidal wave, which entered the port flooding the principal streets. All the inhabitants ran for the mountaius in the neighborhood. AH the to.' ns in the provinces of Esmeraldas a'nd Marabi were greatly damaged and their iuhabi tautsare homeless. At the Colom bian towns of Mosquera, San Ju an and Domingoritz more, than 300 persons perished." Autioquia and other Colombian departments suffered beavil At Tuquerres, five peisons perished' under the ruins of falling buildings. Journalism in China. I From The Washington Star. United States Consul Anderson 'at Amoy has made a report on t t i i r i iournalism among the Chinese. uuuj, jr. iu jjis speeca in ine ieu-Lr, ,lT. - ' , , - ' , , . . . ,'fle savs: "It is rather surprising erai court at MieensDorom oeuaii of the indicted revenue officer, Samuel, Judge Bynuai said that there are "many Republicans in this State, who in their infernal lust for office, turned demons in their efforts to damn and blacken good men's character." He also said that it is "a fight of old ex revenue officers who were out against revenue officers who are in. Following the lead of higher officials these revenue outs de pended on getting office again by slandering those that were in." If this statement be true of the "higher officials," how can decent Democrats desert their old party and join a party whose leaders are such as above described? Nearly one-half of the counties in this State draw more mouey from tbe State treasury than they pay in. This we learn from the report of Treasurer Lacy for the fiscal year ending November 30th, 1905, a copy of which was received a few days ago. In this report 4G of our 97 counties are reported as having received from the State treasury $123,984.29 more than paid in. The other 51 counties paid in 324,190.93 more than they drew out. Among the counties which received more than they paid in, is this (Chatham) county, which received $2,255.91 more than was paid in. These amounts were for pen sions, for schools and for the asy lums. The total amount paid by this county for these objects last year was $9,2G3.G5,aud the amount received by this county for these objects was $11,419.56. Burke county had the largest deficiency, fo any county in the State, having received $6,735.25 more than was paid in. New Hanover had the largest surplus, having paid in $30,843.51 more than was drawn out by that countj These figures will doubtless surprise many of our readers, amd some of them may not think it exactly fair that so many counties should receive more than they pay, and are thus in part support ed by the other counties. Miss Alice Roosevelt was mar ried at noon on last Saturday to Hon. Nicholas Longworth, a Con gressman from Cincinnati. The ceremony was performed at the White House in the presence of a I in view of the comparatively small l .m.; r j; : . oi.;... population ojl loieiguia iu ouiun how rnanj7 large publications there are in foreign languages. The prices they obtain for their publi cations and their work probably explain the situation. Shanghai has five daily newspapers, tbree morning and two evening papers; one is French. It also has six foreign weeklies; one German. It also has four Chinese dailies aud a large number ot Chinese week lies. Practically all of the foreign papers sell four and a half cents gold per copy. The subscription price is about $15 gold per annum, postage extra. The Chinese dailies sell for about half a cent gold per copy. Iu addition to these publi cations there are many religious papers, mostly iu. Chinese, pub lished by the mission authorities. "Iu the south Hongkong domi nates the publication business and as it is a British colony English publications might reasonably-be expected to lead, but on the face of the record the Chinese predom inate. There are four English dailies, The Post, The Press, both moruiug papers, and The Tele graph and The Mail, both eveu ing papers. 'There are six Chinese dailies, and, as in the case of Shanghai, there are a large number of publi cations designed to fill various wants in south China, a Portu guese weekly and The Government Gazette being among them. Iu nearly every port of importance in China, there is an English pub lication of some sort." Large Cotton Gin Burned. Special to Charlotte OkswrYei". Cleveland, Feb. 18. The gin nery of Lyerly & Bro., in this town, was burned about 8 o'clock tonight. The fire was discovered on the second floor near the front but had made such headway that nothing could, be done to save the building or contents. About 25 bales Qf seed cotton were destroy ed, but all the cotton on .'.the yard and under the building was saved. fy-nl talent at their disposal," the roads would naturally be. able to wear out auy of the smaller ship pers and make the findings of the Commission absolutely of, no ef fect. Then the "right "of review" provision is convenient as it en ables the Senate to make a longer fight and will help to exact the last measure of compromise from the House. Senator El kins says that the bill he has prepared as a substi-tute-for the Hepburn Bill is an exact reflex of the words of the President in recommending rate legislation. So it is in parts. And it also includes a number of things that the President did not say in his message. It is said that the Elkius measure was drawn by a number of lawyers "who have had great experience in railroad mat ters. This of course simply means corporation lawyers who would not be likely to frame any measure that did not at least par tially meet tbe requirements til their employers, the railroads. It is pointed out also a great piece of self-sacrifice that Senator El kins has paid the bills for drawing this measure out of his own pock et. Of course Senator Eikins has enough money to pay for a throne or almost anything he wants, but it is not likely that a lot of rail road lawyers won hi be very ex act inp' in their chaises on a bill for presentation to Congress and vitally effecting the dividend.e.-irn-ing power ot the mads which pay them their salaries. This bit of grandstand play is recorded and may be taken for wliat it is worth. Naturally the girls will be in; terested iu knowing the 'nature; ami number of the wedding pres- ents sent to Miss Alice Roosevelt.' We!! sills, you will have to be satisfied w j;h a very partial and imperfect list. A great many for eign governments were officially represented in this connection. The French overninent seid a magnificent Goeblin tapestry, the Empress of China, o whom Miss ltoo.se velt was presented in the Orient, sent a gorgeous dowry cbest filled with ail sort of things from a reel of Mlk to a carved jade dinner gong. The Emperor of - Japan ordered the Japanese minis ter to present his felicitations and a magnificent array of flowers. The Pope sent an antique vase from the Vatican, the King of Spain, an old piece of family jewelry, the Emperor of Germany a signed photograph of himself and another of the yacht "Meteor" that Miss Roosevelt christened a fey years ago. The Kiug of England has not, at this writing, signified his intention of sending anything. But if his gift follows his usual custom, it will be a silver mount ed cut glass ink stand. Of the presents from this side of the wat er even a list has not yet been at tempted. There wa3 everything that a young housekeeping couple could want, barring actual kitchen utensils. Seven watches were re ceived, enough vases and similar and crew of the passenger train to bring the extra freight . to Apex. While approaching the station at Holly Springs, and while on a curve, the engine running back wards, the tender jumped the track. Immediately the engine fol lowed and left the tiack also. On the engine were Engineer W. J. Angier, of Raleigh; Captain Thompson, Fireman Arthur Wil bon, of Wilbon station, and Jack Rice and Ike Cults, negro train hands. The engine left the track and toppled dowu.an embankment turniug completely over. Captain Thompson, ho was" on the fire man's side of the engine, was caught under it and life instantly crushed out of . him, remaining under the engine for some time before his body could be recovered. Engiueer- Angier was .-injured slightly by having his leg bruised by coming in contact with the throttle as the engiue overturned. V.

He pulled out for Asheville. First number 12 pulled out for Swannanoa about the same time. Between Swannanoa and Black Mountain there are two stops. It is a distance of perhaps tea miles. Both, engineers were running at full speed and the trains. were probably making "35 to 40 miles an hour. At a point nearly midway between the sta tions they collided. WILKINSyRICKS & CO. SAPORS!, N.

One rius: valued at one bund red dollars has not been found.
