In accepting the chairmanship Mr. Eller spoke enthusiastically of the outlook and expressed confidence that he would have the hearty support of Democrats all over the State. The cheir was directed by a resolution to appoint a committee of five to revise the Democratic plan of organization and report to the next meeting of the executive committee. Governor Glenn, called on for a speech, expressed the wish that some of I lie enthusiasm he saw in Denver might be injected into the committee meeting and into North Carolina Democracy. He never saw anything like it. He said he believed enough Western States would be carried for Bi van, with tli solid South to assure Krvan "s election without New York. At the same time he believed the Democratic financial and other planks would so impress the XewTork fi nancial and other interests before the campaign is over as to go a long way toward Democratic majorities in a number of Eastern States. Jerome Lanning Goes to Rescue of a Drowning Companion in Trench Broad River and Loses His Own Life, While His Friend is Saved. Asheville, Special. Jerome Lan ning, a lad 19 years of age, lost his life in the waters of the French Broad river Sunday afternoon short ly before 5 o'clock in a heroic and successful effort to save the life of John McGuinn, a comuanion in swim- miug. It seems that young Lanning, McQuinn and about twenty other boys were in swimming at a point near the mouth of the Swannanoa and French Broad rivers, where the river is not only deep in places but wide, when McGinn, far out in the river and awtvy from his companions, gave the signal of distress. Lanning, a mag nificient swimmer, went to the rescue and succeeded in getting a firm hold on the drowning companion. Lanning started for shore supporting Mc Quinn, and in the meantime three other members of the party swam out to meet Lanning and McQuinn to lend aid m the rescue. They met Lanning ana jucyuinn some distance from the shore, and just as they caught hold of McQuinn and started for the shore, Lanning sank. The trio of rescuers were unable to save Lanning from the " Sft. i -1,1 . sui current, although they were successful in saving McQuinn 's life Several members of the uartv. it is said, started to the rescue and dived hut were unable to find the body.

Trusteed Meet Raleigh, Special. There was lengthy conference last week between the executive committee of the trus tees of the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts and 1'roiessor .Newman, the new head of the college department of agriculture, for the discussion of policies whereby during the approach ing school year further developments in the usefulness and importance of this department of college work will bo put on foot. Reports to the com inniee snow rapia progress in in stalling the city water system for ine colleg-e. Water and sewerage will ne installed by the time for the open ing. The committee decided to sell the valuable ice plant the State board of agriculture installed at the college, it being demonstrated to be cheaper to buy the supply of ice for the college than to undertake to oper ate the plant. It was also decided that the machine shops and foundry will be operated together with Fred Wheeler, of High Point, in charge of the two plants. Shot by Brother-in-Law. A special from Gaffney, S. C, to the Charloltte Observer says: In a difficulty last Thursday in Cleveland county, N. G, between Hyman Wyatt and Bank Sanders, brother-in-law, Sanders shot Wyatt and inflicted what is thought to be a mortal wound. Sanders made his escape and came to his home in this county. A warrant was sent to Sheriff Thomas and Mon day night, accompanied by Arthur Hooper, he went to the home of San- m Washington, Special.

In fact, according to information which has reached the offices of the Isth mian Canal Commission here, over one-half of this great work has now been completed. Ibis cut through the hills and mountains extends a distance of nine and one-half miles. At the highest point the orginal surface of the ground was 200 feet and a hole from 430 feet to 1,000 feet wide and 160 feet deep is being dug there. This work involved the excavation of 80,- 693,248 cubic yards of earth and stone. The old French company took out 12,000,000 cubic yards from 1895 to 1904 and since the Americans have taken charge of the work they have excavated 18,445,426 cubic yards. This leaves only 39,652,822 cubic yards yet to be removed, less than half of the total. In view of the fact that 11,191,488 yards were taken out last year after the Americans had got their machinery in operation and nieir organization perfected, the in dications are that, at the same rate of progress, the Culebra Cut will be completed in three years and a half. In the opinion of engineers here that will fix the date for the comple tion ol the entire canal in Albany, N. Y., Special. A renort from Grand Gorge, a country station on the edge of the Catskill mountain region says two desperate mail rob bers held up the Ulster Express be tween there and Stamford, and after binding and gagging Mail Clerk Peck and throwing him into the mail box, the cover of which they secured, went through the mail and took everj'thing of value. The' also took a watch, chain and $25 from the coat of the clerk, which was banging in the car. After rifling all the pouches they made their way back to the day coach and got off at Stamford, taking a road that leads to the mountains, where the sheriff and railroad detec tives believe them to have a hiding place. At Stamford, Peck was miss ed, and a search by the conductor and brakeman resulted in the clerk's extrication from his tight quarters in the mail box. An alarm was sent out all along the line from this city to Montreal, and posses are looking for the robbers.

The meeting was one of the most enthusiastic yet bad by Mr. Iliteh 3oek, although at the outset the men were less receptive than were the representatives of the States in the far West who met in early part of the weeli at Colorado Springs. This was due, it is said, to the fact that some of the men came from States which Hiey regarded a? debatable and pr 'I lLTnknown Man, Tenth Regiment. ?he tent occupied by Governor Sttart was blown down as were nuWier of others.

The camp is flooded and telegraphic service is practically at a standstill. The entire camp is panic stricken. The darkness is im penetrable and men' are wildly run ning about through rivers of water, seeking the injured. Every tent of Battery B was blown down, but, no one in the battery was hurt. The regimental guard tent of the Tenth regiment was struck by the lightning, and forty men of Com pany C were badly injured. The field hospital is full and men are lying about the camp waiting for aid. The Young Men's Christian Asso ciation tent, which was filled with men and women who had taken refuge from the storm, was razed to the ground, but so far as known no one was seriously injured.

"For the jirotcefion of our coast wo, need fortifications, not, merely to jiro tect the salient points of our jwssess sions, but so that the navy can be foot-loose. A year ago, at the time it was announced that the fleet was to go abroad, there was a certain number of newspapers, especially in my own city of JKew York, that rais ed a clamorous protest against it. It took at one time the form of a mis taken prophecy to the effect that the fleet would not. be allowed to go around the world, andS-one of the reasons alleged was that to let it go around the world would leave New York defenseless in the event, of war. "We have taken the Philippines, but if we had not taken them not a particle of difference would be made as regards t lie needs of onr naval pol icies. There has been a division of this people as to taking the Pbillijj pines. "There has been no division on the Monroe doctrine, no division on build ing, maintaining, jioliciug and de fending the Panama canal; no di vision about Hawaii and Porto Rico; no division about keeping Alaska ; no division about asserting our superior rgiit to defend and protect Cuba. .Not one of t lit; courses of action thus outlined can be followed out except ing with a first-class navv. The Monroe doctrin was in danger of falling not merely into disuse, but into contempt, until we began to build up our navy. The Monroe doctrine unbacked by a navy is an empty boast. "If we have a coast defense navy only, wo had beler af once turn over the Panama canal to some stronger and braver nation, and give up Hawaii, Porto iiicjo and Alaska, and say that we had no more interest, in Cuba than ihe smallest outside powers. - "We do not want any navy at all if it is not a firsl-ekir-s one. and such a navy will be necessary for us just so long as we demand the right to administer our national affairs as we think best. t t Ti " .
