THURSDAY, OCT. 10, 1907- H A. LONDON, Editor. At the election held in Ashe ville on last Tuesday an over whelming majority voted in favor of prohibition. The campaign had been very active and exciting, hnth aides doinsr their utmost to carry the election. In this cam paign was exhibited the remark able spectacle of Judge Pritchard arid Mr. Locke Craig both speak ing for prohibition at the same meeting. This great victory will encour age the friends of temperance to abolish the saloons in all the citi es wherein the liquor traffic is now authorized. Salisbury and Wilmington may soon expect a campaign for the abolition of liquor from their borders. They .are now the largest cities in this state wherein liquor can be sold according to law, and the liquor element in those cities is very strong and influential. The two-story jail election, held last Saturday in Duplin county, resulted in a barren victory for those opposing the new jail. In last week's Record we men tioned that two of the three coun ty commissioners of Duplin had decided to build a second story to the county jail, and that the third commissioner who opposed it had called for a primary on last Satur day so that the voters of the coun ty might express their wishes on the question. The vote was light, but a large majority of those voting voted against the second story to the jail. It is probable that those who favored the new jail did not vote because the election would have no legal effect and they did not care to go through the farce of an election. The Singer Building in New York, will, when completed, be a marvel of the architect's and builder's ability. It will be forty seven stories in height from the sidewalk, and will ba the tallest building in the world. Its found ation is on solid rock ninety feet below the level of the street. Although it has a ground area the size of; a city lot, yet its many stories will have a com bined floor space of almost nine and a half acres. Every precau tion that engineering skill can devise is used to make it safe and secure in every particular, and es pecially from being blown over by violent winds. he sensational Rowland trial at Raleigh resulted in the acquit tal of both defendants. This was the case wherein Dr. D. S. Rowland and his wife were "1 f i 1 1 . accused oi Killing witu poison last April, the latter s former hus band, a railroad engineer named Strange. While the evidence was not sufficient to convict the pris oners, yet it was of such a char L j 1 . a . , acier as to snow mat tney were none too good for such a crime. The ovation that greeted the prisoners,, after their release, was not at all creditable to those who participated in it. The idea of such a couple being greeted with cheers and presented with flowers! We hope that some practical and substantial benefits may re sult from the meeting, being held this week in Atlanta, of cotton growers, spinners, manufacturers and others interested in cotton. This is the largest gathering of the kind ever held, and is attended by large delegations from the leading countries of Europe. A special train of these European delegates made a stop at Char lotte ea route to Atlanta, and in spected the cotton mills at that progressive city. President Roosevelt is now en joying his bear hunt in an unin habited wilderness in Louisiana. With a small party he is camp ing out in tents and no intruders are allowed to come near. In the meantime the government seems to be getting along all right with out him. We are pleased to note that Senator Borah, of Idaho, has been acquitted of the charge of con spiracy to defraud the govern ment. Immediately after his ac quittal he was given a grand ovation. Washington Letter. Washington, D. C, Oct.'3. Ip spite of the fact that the President is out of Washington, political speculation is rife as to the outcome ef the next nominat ing convention. Every politician who drifts,into town is full of ru mors and speculation as to what the attitude of the President will be toward the candidacy of the several "favorite son" Republicans who are avowedlv in the fisrht for the nomination. This speculation is almost profitless at this time, nevertheless it persists and is more or less interesting. It is case of Taft agaiust the field, al ways with the proviso on the part of the speculator that the Presi dent will not take a third term himself. Everything possible has been done to get further expres sions of opinion from the Presi dent as to his attitude toward re- uomination and his preference for a candidate. It is not likely that there will beany further announce ment from the administration on either of these points just now. The President has already expres sed himself about the third term, saying that he did not want it and would not take it. As to his pref erence for the Taft candidacy, he has given it his quiet but positive approval. The same cannot be said for any of the other candidates. He is not apt to make any further statement on either subject at present because it is by no means psychological moment. lhe convention is too far off for any- t'iinr but talk. va vocates of the ship subsidy iill are already at work in Wash ington. There will be a desperate effort made at the coming session get legislation of some sort through. This is a measure that has by no means popular support throughout the country. All of the Seaboard cities realize that it would be to their advantage if it materially helped to build up the mercantile marine, but the inland communities mav be regarded as indifferent, with the element against it that shies at the pros pect of heavier public expenditures of such an indefinite extent as en trance to the subsidy field would entail. It is quite possible that if there is subsidy legislation, it will take a very mild form and will be first urged to secure addi tional steamship facilities for South America. This is unques- lionably needed from a commercial standpoint though whether even a heavy subsidy would secure it is matter for serious consideration. Admiral Coghlau has certainly secured for himselr a well earned reputation as a troublemak r for the government. He has just cume out in a long interview on the subject of war with Japan and the necessity of sending the battle ship squadron to the Pacific. It will of course be recalled that it was Admiral Coghlan who got this country into very warm water with Germany over his "Hock der Ka'ser" poem at a banquet a few years ago. inere was notmng ot malice in his reciting the poem, but it was just jesting near enough to facts to be very uncomfortable, and it came at a moment when the relations of this country and Germany were none too cordial, though the governments of both countries would willingly have had it appear otherwise. Now, when the situation is just about the same with Japan, the loquacious admiral comes out in print svith a long talk about the possibility of war. He savs that it would be a good deal cheaper to duplicate the American navy, and that is what it would mean if the battleship squadron is to .re main in the Pacific, than it would be to put up a six months' fight with Japan or any other first class power. He says that $150,000,000 spent in new ships would make this country impregnable to at tack by any power and that it would be a good investment, tan tamount to a life insurance policy for an otherwise indigent family. He says also that it would re move any possibility of war and leave this country free to develop commercially as it chose. AH this is quite true. But the inoppor tuuity of the talk lies in the fact that it comes just at the moment when Secretary Taft and the Ja panese higher officials are falling on each other's ne.cks and swear ing eternal frieadship and scout ing the possibility of war. Quite naturally if Japan has any linger ing notion of war, she is not going topublish the fact in advance, and the way she struck Russia at the outbreak of the Muchurian trou ble is an indication that the Ori ental and Occidental minds work indifferent channels and. that any nation with the faintest likelihood of Japanese trouble on its hands, does not want to leave its gun at home when it goes visiting. Secretary Root is making: a rec ord as a close second to Secretary Taft in cultivating international friendliness. His journey to Mex ico is being watched by officials herewith the greatest, interest. He seems to have the faculty of doing and saying the right thing to appeal to the Latin-American iind, and the reports so far of his reception in Mexico are decid ely encouraging. It was less than 20 years ago that Mexico was re-' erarded as the last place on earth for the investment of American ' capital. Episcopalians at Richmond. Richmond, Va., Oct. 4. The subject of missions was principal ly discussed today in the triennial convention of the Protestant Epis copal Church now in session here. Speakers from the outposts of the missionary field both domestic and foreign told of their work. Tonight a great historical meet ing will be held in the city audi torium at which the general pub lic of Richmond will be admitted. At 11 o'clock the presiding bishop Right Rev. D. S. Tuttle, took the chair and presided over the board of missions. The board of missions, accord ing to a report read by Bishop Doane, has given to its mission work in the last three years $2,- 386,877.43. ; Within the United States the board has made pro vision for the support of nineteen bishops, 1,160 missionaries, cleri cal and lay. The total amount of this appropriation was $1,277,- 320.23. In couu tries outside the United States the board has sup ported 10 bishops, 66 foreign cler- gy, 11 ioreign lay worKers, vol native workers. Since the last general conven tion 97 missionaiies have been acquired as follows: Africa, 1; China, 31; Japan, 6; Haiti, 4; Cu ba, 6; Mexico, 6; Porto Rico, 7; Honolulu, 10: Philippine Islands, 6; Alaska, 19; Panama, 1. CAROI CENTRAL J'N A- FAIR The Colored Insane. Goldsboro Record. Dr. W. W. Faison, the Clevel and most efficient superintendent of the State Hospital for the col ored insane, near this city, in forms us that there are now con fined at this hospital 617 patients, the greatest number in the history of the institution. These patients are well fed, with good wholesome food, comfortably clothed, and well cared for, and the greater part of this expense is borne by themselves. There are a great number of these patients that are not entire ly devoid of reason and are capa ble of working out their own liv ing. These are given light em ployment, suited to their case, such as they are capable arid willing to do. There is a large farm near the home, and many of the pa tients are required to till the soil as other farm hands, and every year they raise a fine crop, con sisting of potatoes, corn, vegeta bles, raise pork, chickens, eggs, raise cattle, etc., in abundance, all that is needed at the home, and in many instauces have more of these things than the hospital can con sume and the surplus is brought to this city and sold where there is always a ready demand. Others are engaged in carpenter work, brick laying, milking the cows, feeding the cattle and stock, washing, starching, ironing, mend ing, according to their several ca pacities. Thejr do their work cheerfully and well of course under the di rection of their attendants and by this means they are not only self-supporting, butsa've the State an enormous sum of money in the run of a jear or as the years come and o-rj Tbe Hen With 14 Eggs. From lhe Charlotte Observer, 5ih Inst. "Talking about freaks," said a Charlotte man yesterday, "I saw one the other day iu the way of a plain, old chicken hen. One of my neighbors went out and pur chased a hen for dinner. The hen looked mighty fat; that was not an objection, but when the good house-wife cut her open she found 14 full grown eggs and about 40 small ones. That beats anything that I ever heard of. We looked up the records in a poultry book and found that the most" grown eggs ever found in one hen were four. All of my neighbors would swear to what I have told you, for the find caused considerable ex citement." "The hen mu3t have been a sort of bonded warehouse," said an ir reverent newspaper man. "1 have no idea what she meant by keeping a stock, but I believe she was the only hen of the kind in the world." LumberionRobesonian: Charles Woodell, white, aged about 40 years, was instantly killed at Mr. Neill Duncan's saw-mill yes terday morning at ten o'clock. He, with his brother, was cutting down a tree. The tree in falling struck another tree which changed its course to the ground, and Woodell was struck, by the tree and instantly killed. Is one where health abounds.
