Of Sing Stag. He wan convicted on
the "forced confession" of Groom,
who was subjected to a violent "third

Impressed Into service by police of
Dclaln to make Groom 'confess." Day
and night, he wu made to answer
questions. Sloep was denied him.
Finally, In an utter state of exhaua
Uoa and unable to hear the agony
which the police were forcing him
to endure, he Kare out a statement,
?ajring: that Stielow had committed

In Trying to be Eca ^ ij^^incials

Kdltor Dally Newt.
Dear sir:
If an Individual should spend
$tS.000 to build himself a com -
fortable home, and fhen. with a
steady Income .for ?he want of
at'wtlon or for Che lick of a
few dollar? expended when nec
essary to keep it In repair,
should permit hla house to be
come uninhabitable, hfs policy
would not be commended aa wise
or economic.
A few years ago. more than
$25,000 was expended In paving
four blocks on Main street, three
blocks on Second street and two
blocks on Market street. For
the want of ? few hundred dol
lars expended for upkeep, these
streets are rapidly becoming as
bad aa before they were paved.
By disregarding the observance
of the maxim: "A stitch in time
mvm nine." our Investment of
more than $25.000 la being per
mitted to be wanted and lost.
It la valh to bope for a con
tinuance of teal In eiTlc pro
preaslveness If what is obtained
at great coat and sacrifice Is not
preserved.
The example which the condl
t i od of these street? presents la
not calculated to encourat;e
further efforts for good . roads
and other municipal Improve
ment?.
If the work of repair is done
even now. It m-lll cost infinitely
less than such repair will cost
a year ot two later.
If the city has not ?*??? money
available, then invana should be
davlsod to get It. The annual
deterioration Is a far greater
tax than would bq the Intercut

money already invested.
Tobacco Crop in This
County is the Best in
World, Says Mr. Webb
(By Eftnl?rn Pre??)
Kioaton. Aug. 11.?K. V. Webb,
one of the most prominent 'tobacco
men In this section of the State, this
morning made the statement that
the prettiest crop of tobacco he had
seen anywhere this year was thst In
thv vicinity of Washington.
"I had occasion recently, to go
through Deaufort county," said Mr.
Webb, "?nd I was astonished at the
beauty of the crop there. 1 can hon
estly say that 1 have never seeu
prettier tobacco anywhere. And the
strange part of It all In. that several
yearn ago the people of that section
did not believe they could ralae to
bacco.
"I am confident that Washington
la destined to become the first tobac
co market In tbla part of the State.
150.000 pounds of tob&cto. marketed
In that city last year, was brought
to me here, and was the best to
bacco that 1 ?aw during last season's
work. And this year, the Bcauort
county ciop promises to be even bet
ter."
Mr. Webb also stated that he bad
been through several counties re
cently and that from all indication*,
the crop in thia aectlon would be
larger than last year, in spite of.
reports to the contrary. He suld i
that very little damage had been I
done becauHc or the excessive rains
a few weeks ago. He is confident
that the price this year will be much
higher than last year.

the cloHe of the Republican confer
once today It wan declared that the

of the more pessimistic snid the
session would last until October.
While it is not Ifkely to last that
long, indications today are that
Congress will be here at least an
other month unless new neKotlatlons
are set on foot.
Republiran senators today adopted
a resolution deHarlna the power to

rested with the majority; that Re
