THURSDAY, SEPT. 6, 1906. H. A. LONDON, Editor. Bryan's reception and wel come, after a tour of the Eastern Hemisphere, was the most de monstrative and cordial that has ever been extended to any per son in America. And that which makes it the more extraordinary is the fact that he is a private citizen and not a high official, and not only that but is a twice de feated candidate for the Presidency- His magnetic personality could not be more strikingly proved. From many far distant states hundreds of the most prominent citizens and high officials went to New York to greet him with such an ovation as was never be fore extended any person in this country. His presence aroused the wildest enthusiasm and sane -,1. . n 1 a 1 4- auddigninea men seemei aiiuu&u crazed. The largest auditorium in New York was crowded to its utmost capacity to hear his speech, which defined his posi tion on all matters political. It is greatly regretted that on such an occasion he should nave advo cated the government ownersaip of railroads, one of the wild and visionary schemes of the Populist party. We had hoped that he would now be willing for the Democratic party to return to its ancient moorings and no longer attempt to steal any of the dis- nopilofl onrl 1 ii:fvt-rlit.fifl Winners nf the old Populist platform. During his visit abroad Mr. Bryan was received everywhere with most distinguished ionors. He had private interviews with the mightiest monarchs of Europe and was treated with great respect. Indeed few. .high officials of any country have been more highly honored in foreign lands. He is regarded abroad, as he is at home, as one of the greatest men now living. While many men, even ol his own party, do not agree with him in all his views and opinions, yet all intelligent persons every where acknowledge his great abil ity, his honesty of purpose and his high integrity of character. The reform (?) in spelling is at tracting much attention, and on another page of this paper, is published a list of the 300 words whose spelling is proposed to be changed. Our readers can learn to spell them and adopt this new system if they wish, but The Record will adhere to the "good old 'way" as taught in the o'd blueback spelling book, and no doubt most of our readers will say this is "good enough for me." With his usual impetuosity President Roosevelt has joined the reformers and has even ord ered that all the documents com ing from the , White House be printed according to the new sys tem of spelling. President Roosevelt's fondness for display cost this country a million dollars on last Monday, We allude to the grand naval ex hibition or pageant held at Oyster Bay, where was assembled the strongest tleet of warships ever seen in American waters. There were forty-five ships carrying one thousaud one hundred and seventy cannon and nearlv 16.000 officers and sailors. The only ex cuse for this pageant at so great a cost was that the fleet might be reviewed by . the President and 'other high officials. The Republican State executive committee met at Greensboro on last Saturday and nominated can didates for judge and solicitor. Among those thus nominated was Mr. W. H. Cox, of Laurinburg, for this district. All the Democratic candidates for solicitor wera nom inated at regularly called conven tions. This is another illustration of how a few bosses rule the Re publican patty in this State. -r JjAST Monday was "Labor Day and is public holiday by the ln'a nf flia Stnfn T- nil . i. 1. .j vx nun uiaic.

Washington, Sept. 2. "Cotton is king in the export record of the States for the fiscal year just end. ed." This is the introductory sen tence of a statement just' issued by the Department of Commerce and Labor. Continuing, the state ment says: : "Total value of raw cotton ex ported for the first time crossed the $400,000,000 line and exceed ed by far the value of any other article of merchandise sent out of the country. The expdrts of bread stuffs of all kinds aggregated but $186,000,000, those of provisions but $211,000,000, and those of iron and steel manufactures but $161, 000,000. "The value of cotton exported has increased very rapidly during the last five 3'ears. It was not un til 1901 that it crossed the $300, 000,000 line, and in a short five year period it has grown to more than $400,000,000, or an increase of about 33 per cent. This growth is due in part to an increase in the quantity exported, but in part al so to the advance in pricey since the quantity exported in 1906 was about 700,000,000 pounds less than in 1905, while the value was $21, 000,000 more than in 1905. "The exportation of manufactu red cotton was also larger in 1906 than in any earlier year, aggre gating practically ' $53,000,000 against $5o,ooo,ooo in 1905 and $22,500,000 in 1904. The growth in exports of manufactured cottoa has been quite as striking as that of the raw material. Ruinous Rains. Special to News aud Observer. Durham, Aug. 30. The inces sant rains in this section have well-nigh destroyed farming in terests, at least the farmers are terribly damaged and unless there is fair weather soon the loss will be almost ruinous. Col. J. C Michie, superintendent of the Durham Water Company, who has been keeping a record , of the daily rainfall since the third of July, has furnished your corres pondent with the rainfall from that time up to the present. From July 3 to the last day of the mouth the rainfall was k.32 iuches. From the first day of August up to and including yesterday the rainfall in August has been 13.92 inches, making a total of 24.24 inches of water that has fallen in this section from July 3 to August 29. In July there were four days in which more than an inch of water fell; On July 8 the fall was 1.23 inches; July 15 2.38 inches; July 20 1-22 inches, and July 31, 1.45 inches. Tbi' mouth there was one day on w.i.U more water fell than on any one day in recent years. This was on August 27, last Monday. The rainfall that day was 3.05 inches, and the rain did not fall but a portion of the afternoon. On the day before this, Sunday, August 20, the fall whs 2.80 inches. On. uvo other days this month there was more than an inch of water to fall. These days and the rainfall were: Aug ust 2, 1.67 inches, aud August 11, 1.22 inches. Shot by a Woman. Spec-liil to Charlotte Observer. Winston-Salem, Sept. 3. Ber nie Leonard, a young white man, was shot in the forehead aud hand this afternoon by Mrs. Wesley Hoi ton and will probably die. Leonard and his brother, after cursing Mis, Hoi ton and her hus band on the street, followed them home. One of the boys was knock ed aown by Holton as they enter ed his door. The brothers then pounced upon the old man, knock ing him down, aud were beating him 'when Mrs. Holton came to her husband's rescue with a pis tol, firing every bull in it. Bernie's brother tied when he saw what had happened. Mrs. Holton was not arrested as the officers hold that she was only, protecting -her own household. Eds Clog Water Wheels. r From the Charlotte Observer. During the late rains the mud in the waters of the South Fork (of the Catawba) river has been very abundant. The eels, as is well knowp, travel when the water is muddy, and it is said they gen erally slide along the bottom in preference to swimming above the bottom. One night, not long ago, the water wheel running the elec tric light dyuamd of the High Shoals Company became so 'clog ged with eels twice during the night that the gates had to be shut down and the eels chopped out in order to keep the machin ery going. The eels would lap over the stationary buckets aud continue to Accumulate until the water could not pass through. For quite a while it w is difficult to find out the source'of the trouble. ;A colored woman, named Addie Kelly,1 was killed by lightning last week at Carthage. She was in the kitchen and the fatal bblt is sup posed to have gone in on the stove pipe. ' Secretary of the Treasury Shaw will speakat Statesvilleand Ashe ville next week.

DAY OF SEPTEMBER, American navy. With their fresh-1 1906, at 12 o'clock noon, at the ly donned coats of glistening door of the Court House of Chat white paint, with flags flying , ham County, at Pittsboro, N. C, from every point of vantage, ! with sides manned by white-gar bed cheering jackies and bands playing, they might have seemed the playthings of a nation. But the bigj f rowniug guns peering from deck and turret while smal ler ones bristled along the sides and the frequent boom "of cannon told another story of the more serious work they might be called upon to do. Viewed from either standpoint, it was an inspiring sight calculated to arouse every spark of patriotism in the breast of every American who witnessed it. Drawn up. in battle formation the fleet was fully equipped for war except-that the decks were not cleared for action and the ships did not wear their war coat of drab. Otherwise and to re member these points would take but an hour or two the fleet was in perfect readiness to sail away and meet an enemy. Whiskey's hatal Work. Special to Charlotte Observer. Troutman, Sept. 3. Mr. Walter Cook, a middle-aged farmer who lives in the vicinity of Amity, committed suicide this morning by stabbing himself with a knife. It is said that he had been on a debauch for seyeral days and that he had mistreated his wife and children during this time. It is impossible to obtain the particu lars of the tragedy but there seems to be something of a mystery con nected with it and further investi gation may reveal something un expected. The deceased was a man of good family and leaves a wife and several children. Nothing to Fear. The question of injurious sub stances in medicines which has been agitating the minds of many people, does not concern those who use Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mothers need have 110 hesitancy in continuing to give it to their little ones, as it contains absolutely nothing injurious. This remedy 'is not only perfectly safe to give smaJl children, but is a medicine of great worth and merit. It has a world wide reputation for its cures of coughs, colds and croup and can always be relied upon. For sale by G. II. Pil king ton. Charlotte Observer: Mr. M.
