The Republi cans have about given up all hope of any possibility of electing any one on their ticket except sheriff and register of deeds. When the votes are counted in November, they will realize that it wa3 a forlorn hope as to electing those two officers also. Mr. Joseph C. Blake, who was nominated by a unanimous vote as one of the Democratic candidates for county- commis sioner, has declined to run be cause his business will not ner- mit him to serve. The county executive committee met here last Monday and nominated Mr. W. H. Ferguson , of Hickory Moun tain townshiD. to fill the vacancv.

Hanks claims to be the champion turtle fisherman in this section. On last Thurs day night he set seven -hooks baited with frogs in the pond at Hailborn Lodge, near here, and the next morning found six large turtles on the hooks.

He returned home Mon day and his friends trust that he will be able to .be out again in a day or two. - jQn account of the sickness and absence of some witnesses in several of the cases, which we're expected to be tried last week and had to be continued, court adiourned Friday. In addition to the case of Stout against Perry, which was men tioned in .our last issue, the f ol lovving cases were disposed of: N. W. Dfxon against T. H. Wil son was an action for the recov ery of damages in a horse swap, and the jury gave the plaintiff $80. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant represented, the horse to be sound, whereas it was a "stump-sucker." It re mains to be seen what effect this verdict will have upon the horse- swapping business at our courts. The suit of Florence Dowdy against James T. Dowdy was for a divorce from bed and board. the plaintiff alleging ill treat ment by the defendant. This case was closely contested, and the jury, after being "hung" one afternoon and night, render ed a sort of compromise verdict, finding that the plaintiff had been illtreated but that she was also to be. blamed. Each side made a motion for-judgment, but the judge reserved his decision until next court The case of W. D. Bright against J. Beale Johnson was for the recovery of money alleged to be due on a contract for sawing lumber. After the trial had been in progress tor over an hour a compromise was made. In the case of Millard Johnson against Perry & Hackney a non suit was taken by the plaintiff. Compromise judgments were agreed on in the suits of Roder ick Lean &Co. against Fox & Son and Griffin & Bynum against H. A. Millis. Belgian Exposition Buildings Burned. Brussels, Aug. 15 It will take many days to - place : the Belgian exposition, partly destroyed by hre yesterday, m a ht condition Breaking Quarantine. x A colored woman, named Bella Atkins, was tried here yesterday before R. M. Burns, J. P., and fined $5 for violating the quar antine law. t A short time ago she had the small-pox near Haywood and was quarantined by Dr. Farthing, the county superintendent of health, and, before recovering, she broke out from the quarantine and at tended a meeting of the colored lodge. Such conduct cannot be too severely c ondemned and it was very proper that an exam ple should have been made of her as a warning to others who may be quarantined. Persons afflicted with an infectious or con tagious disease should not be al lowed to endanger the lives of others by exposing them to it. Back in the Forties. Editor of The Record: Happening to pick up an old legislative document of 1846-7 some figures are gathered that may be of interest to some of the readers of The Record. In 1846 Chatham county had 483,031 acres of land, valued at $1,053,590. Value of town prop erty in 1846 was $49:125, and the taxes were $29.46. There were 3,765 po!l3 in the county in 1846.. In 1848 there were 629 militiamen in the coun ty. This troop of soldiers had 15 muskets, 58 rifles, 397 shot guns and any quantity of corn stalks on drilling days. In 1848 Chatham's population was 14,116. There were 1,475 white children. The county re ceived $1,922.92 for its school fund. In 1847 John Harmon was sher iff. More could be said but this is enough for the present. SAM JONES. European Crops Fall Off. Washington, Aug. 13. Foreign crop reports gathered by the De partment of Agriculture indicate that the harvest in J.urope will not be so abnndaut as had been anticioated. Climatic conditions have been adverse in central and northern countries; notably Rus sia and France; where-excessive moisture, unseasonably low tem peratures and violent storms have resulted in much impairment of cereal growths. In Austria-Hungary and Ger many declines in agricultural prospects are officially confirmed. Italy has fared well this year, and Roumania and Bulgaria have gathered record crops. The yield in other countries has been only a fair average. - Mouses Cave-in Without Warning. Staunton, VaV Aug. 22 The cave-in which' occurred here yes terday in the heart of the citv nre.yesieraay, m a nc conaition continues to alarm residents and for reopening although a large there has been a general exodus majority or tne puuoings are still intact. . The loss caused by the flames which swept through the "white city," is believed to be between $6,000,000 and $10, 000,000. This is carefully con fined to the Belgian and British sections, but the damage by smoke and water has been gen eral and will add materially to the total loss. The American sections es caped the fire and the art exhib it was in a ( building two miles distant from the Hames. The recovery of valuable collections of jewels helped to reduce the first estimates of the loss. The magnificent collection of precious stones ojvned by Belgians, and valued at $3,000,000, was un earthed from the ruins unharm ed. There was considerable pillag ing, after and during the fire. Gendarmes caught a number of the looters who had in their pos session scores, of rings and brace lets from the French jewel ex hibit. It is believed that Parlia ment will vote extra credits for the people clearing away the ruins and constructing new build ings. - . . . Frauds on Indians. Sulphur, Okla.,' Aug. 15 De tails of an alleged sjheme by which "land grabbers" organ ized systematically to v enrich themselves at the expense of minor Indians were related at the congressional investigation In one instance, it as assert- LADY WANTED. ed the cost of disposing of the To inlro iuce our co Iete property of an 18-year-old In- Une of beautiful wool suiting wash dian was $2,075, more than the ; fabrics, fanev waistinirs. silks, hdkfs. property brought, lhe condi Irom adjacent buildinc. Th fire house is now sinking and the public school building is threat ened. A largo portion of the two-story residence of Prof. C. IS. Wilson has entirely disappear ed in the crevice and the back yard has sunk thirty feet below the house level. It is now be lieved that the phenomenon was caused by an arched-over creek which ha3 been undermining- the ' buildings adjacent to it. The city officials have sent for engin eers to investigate the situation and to decide how to check the creek from making further in roads on buildings within the city. The theory held by govern ment geologists is that the trouble was caused by water percolating the limestone, which underlies that en tire" section, and thus has werikerstsi the foundations of j buildings and caused them, to give way. Mr. Van Horn is fa miliar with the geological struct ure of that portion of Virginia and from press reports he judges that dissolving limestone is re sponsible for the trouble. Staggers Skeptics.

Hearing that the scheme pre vailed generally, Representative Phillip P. Campbell, of Kansas, a member of the investigating j committee, put on the stand James Yarborough, a Chickasaw Indian by intermarriage. "Do you call this sort of thing grafting or just plain stealing?" asked Mr. Campbell after the witness had related the circum stances. "Well, the people down our way think it is a scandal that the lawrs permit such a thing and we think it is time Congress take notice of it." The probate court at Durant allowed the guardian to sell for $2,800 a tract of 140 acres of al lotted land owned by an 12-yea-old Indian. The guardian then put in a claim on the proceeds. The claim included $850 for act ing as guardian, $1,650 for im proving the land, $500 .for a barn, $50 for posts, $2o0 for fences, $68 for witness fees, and more money for other purposes. Train Kills Two Girls. Special to the Chariot e Observer. ' Thomasville, August 14 This morning about 8:30, Vada Cook and Hazel Myers, two little girls between 8 and 10 years old, were killed about five miles north of this place by northbound passen ger train No. 44. The two girls accompanied by their mothers had gotten off train No- 11 from High Point at Lake and were coming up the railroad track to a Mr. Freedles, a relative of theirs, who lives a mile north of Lake As they were coming up the track they met a ' freight train going south and getting out of the way of the freight train got in the way of train 44 go ing north.

Floods in Japan. Tokio, August 12. Fully two hundred persons are dead, thou sands are homeless and more than ten townsand villages have been swept away by floods that are raging throughout many dis tricts. More than 30,000 houses are submerged in the lower parts of Tokio alone. Communication is at a standstill. Railroads have been washed away, telegraph and telephone lines are down and it probably will be days before the full extent of the enormous damage can be learned.
