It is not alone on the chessboard of International politiei that Secretary of State John Bay displays his diplomacy. He ie a strategist of do mean order in foiling the tnovet ot poweifal oppon ants -in - the - game . otCpngre88ional spoil's. Not long ago a well known Western Representative in Congress was oboseo United States Senator. Be immed lately began to figure what was really doe him from the Government in the way of patronage. Already powerful in the Republican councils of bis State, the new Senator bethought himself of the added glory of Government plums that should be plucked by bis party workers and their friends. Their name was legion. There was, in fact ,a glut in the inaiket of available timber for offioial sinecures. The olamor for office was deep, lond, and Insistent. The new Senator pondered over the prero gatives that, rightfully or unrightfully, belong to the toga bearers of the na tion. He fioally saw bis opportunity. At least he thought be did. Straightway with true Senatorial dignity he summoned four of his hench men. Be promised them choice berths in the ooosnlar service. Such appointments arereoogniied Senatorial petquisites. lie took bis fonr friends to tbe State Department, and brushed past tbe sable hued messenger, wbo vainly tried to explain tbat Secretary Bay was busily engagod on pressing international matters. The Senator and the quartet ot would-be office holders stalked single fi e toward Secre tarv Hay's desk. "I am Senator Blank," said the Sen ator. "Good-morning," replied tbe author of "Little Breeches." "And these are Mr. etc., "of my State," added the 8enator. The Secretary quietly nodded recog nition. "Now, Mr. Scretary," continued tbe Senator, "I've been examining the con sular list and I find tbat my great com monwealth is not adequately repre sented there. My Bute hasn't its quota of places, and I have now select d some of the desirable poets for some of the deaerving men of my State " A eoid, impenetrable expression stole over tbe fnee ot tbe Premier of the Roosevelt Cabinet. It was a look be assumes on occasions of grave moment, and one that a number of the Diplo matic Corps have learned to reeoen ii as a sign to look to their laurels. "For instance t" suggested Bay. "Well, here's Stuttgart. It's a good post, pays well, and desirable all around. I would like tbat appointment made firtt." "Certainly. Wait a mament. I'll look into it." And Secretary Hay pressed a button. Send for the ap dointment clerk," he ordered. The latter hurried in. Mr. Hay's face became as solemn as the visages of tbe Gntbs in tbe olden days. "Mr. Mosber," he inquired, "why did not you report to me that tbe con anl at Stuttgart is deadT "But, Mr. Seoretary-" "I want to "know, sir, why you failed to report that fact to me T" "But, Mr. Secretary, we have no tneb report no advices even to indi cate that be bad been ill." "Sure t" "Certainly, sir." Hay turned to the Senator. "Sena tor," he laid, "there's some mistake. Ton must have been misinformed. The consul at Stuttgart is still alive." There was an ankward silence. The Secretary stood grim and sombre. Tbe four wbo bad coveted the foreign posts shifted position nneasily. Tbe Senator boiled with indignation. But suddenly, from somewbere in bis inner sub eon acionsoess, there came a realization of the situation and of the futility ot ar gument. He and bis bevy of politisal adberents lost no time in filing out, while Secretary Hay, confronted with problems of world wide moment, but none tbe less a ready friend ot consular reform, smiled and resumed tbe consid ration of treaty making. Tie ItHrtv's Tell la Uvea. Collier's Weekly. A huge mass of rock three hun dred tons or more dropped without warning from tbe unfinished roof of the New York Rapid Transit Tunnel recently, and tbe lives of ten men were snuffed out. In almost tbe same place two years ago a similar aocident hap pened with almost as fearful a result. That part of tbe tonnel runs far under ground; there are donkeys and tramcara there, and tbe steady throb of ot water pomps. Tbe rock is a treach erous schist "bastard granite" tbe men call it. The cleavage ia almost vertical, and an excess of rain or some other simple cause will drop a huge slice of it as neatly and as quickly as yon would let fall one card from a peek. Ia the Park Avenue section of the aobway in 1901, an accidental explo sion ot dynamite killed Ave persons, ia jured.moreor less.hundreds ot others and destroyed several hundred thousands ot dollars' worth ot property. A few blocks away tbe roof of tbe tunnel caved in one day and tbe front walls of whole block ot brownstone bouses erasfaed after it. The tunnel company was Anally compelled to bay up the damaged block for aboat a million dollars In the same section, Msjor Ira Sbaler, the ill starred eodtraotor, wbo was held responsible for the acci dent, was himself killed by a similar tail ot rock. These speotaoclar tragedies are pet ot the price which must be paid for the completion of any snob feat of engin aerlng through tbe very heart of i crowded city. Almost every day a few line ot newspaper type chronicle mishap in soma part ot tbe long length of tbe subway. If every ease of "trac tared shall" or "internal injuries" were no dowo to the hospital bed, where aoat Italian laborer dice, unidentified, K rasps, and unknown, ths list would one tbat woold seem to tbe casual caret to be appalling. It probably wouia ran wen op into tns nondreds. . A Runaway Bicycle, Terminated with an ugly cut on the iff ot oi j a urner, Franklin tirove, III.

Somebody thinks tbat something is going to happen. A Young Men's Christian Associa tion has been organized by the young men ot Raeford Institute with R. A. MoLeod as president.

Dr. McLean, of Godwin, N, C, was in town a few days last week visiticg his sister, Miss Mary, who is at school here. The Euphemeao Literary Society of R. I. debated last Friday night on the subject, That: Better to have loved and lost than never. to bave loved at all. Botb sided presented good arguments and interesting speeches, but the judges decided in favor of the sffi.-mative. Dr. and Mrs. Graham and Rev.

Phyllis BalUGH ItRlI Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 16, 1903 Within a year from this date a new governor ot North Carolina, and other State executive and judicial and legis lative officers and euouty officials will be elected. Most of these will be nomi nated by their respective conventions within ssven or eight months and yet no one ean accurately or confidently predict who even the next governor will be, to say nothing of tbe "smaller fry." Stedman, Turner, Diugbton, Glenn and Davidson all appear to bave a large following, especially in their respective congressional districts, and at least two or three ot tbem will bave a strong support ia tbe east. All of these gentlemeo are lawyers (and good one), and tbe only gentle man not a lawjer, whom I bave heard seriousiy mentioned in connection witb tbe gubernatorial nomination of the Democratic party, is Col. L. Bank; Hoit, tbe prominent cotton mann faetorer of Alamance county. Present indications point to one of tbe closest contests cf many years, and so far it seems to ba "nip and tuck" between tbe three leading asp. rants. Indeed tbe coming year promises to be one of tbe most interesting, politi cally, and tbe presidential and congres sional eontesu will be unusually ex citing. "Tbere is no class ot people so diffi cult to orgaous in their own interests as tbe farmers of tbe Sooth," is a statement tbat has been made to me on bigb authority several times during tbe last few years, and some of tbe laigest a-d most intelligent farmers of North Carolina bave endorsed tbe truthfulness of the assertion when I repeated it to tbem. Nevertheless, another attempt is be ne made this week to organize the to bacco growers ot North Carolina and Virginia into an inter-state alliance. Tne meeting is being held at Danville, Vs., beginning Tuesday of tbis week. Col. John 8- Cooingbam, president of tbe North Carolina tobacco growers' association (tbe North Carolina Farm ers' Protective Association) and some other prominent Tarheel tobaeeo pro dneers are in attendance. In tbe meantime tbe local newspapers of Ox ford, Wilson and other leading tobaeeo markets are publishing accounts of large sales of tbe weed on tbe ware house fixrs at greatly improved prices tbe farmers being reported as being satithid with tbe prices obtained. Better grades of tobacco were sold as a rule. All of wbieh is encouraging and very welcome news. During tbe agitation of tbe liquor question in Nortb Carolina this year elections bave been held in -7 towns, 18 ot wbicb voted tor probioition or dispensary and against the open saloon and 8 voted to remain "wet" At one plaeo tho election has not yet been held. Durham is tbe largest town to adopt prohibition since Raleigh tried it some 15 years ago, and much interest is felt in tbe result of tbe trial tbere. There will be two dispensaries opened in Raleigh six weeks hence one tor the "upper crust" ot "saasiety" and the other for "po' white folks and niggers," tor, be it known, tbe municipal liquor dispensers will sell cheap "pinetop' and "Jersey lightning," as deadly poi sonous as some ot that dealt oat at tbe low groggeries and it will probably succeed in killing just as large a pro portion ot tbe poor devils wbo drink it beeaose tbey haven't tbe price of the better grades. Tbe Trinity College boys have formed a tennis association, and several naw courts are being made.

After an absence ot several weeks we appear again to let the rest of the world know that far away Beaver Dam is still "in the land ot the living," and doing very well drinking persimmon beer and eating taters, with the boys gone "possum hunting." Tbe "smiling band" is a defunct in stitution now. "Jumbo" was appointed receiver some weeks ago and "Jonas Smiling" was employed as special at torney to wind op the affair of tbe thing. Miss Ethel Simmons and Mr, George Simmon, ot Floyd, spent Sunday iuour community. Miss E. Maude Melvin, ot Ammon.is teaching school iu distriol No, 3.

Ail the schooU iu our township are running or have secured teachers for the schools and will start very soon. Mr. C V. Hall, ot Wilmington, spent Saturday and Sunday with his parents. Mr. Raeford Royals, ot Salemburg, attended church at Beaver Dam Sun day. Mr. N. L. Ballard, of Roseboro, spent Sunday in our section. Rev. A. B, Stephens, ot Antryville, filled his regular appointment at Beaver Dam church Saturday and Sunday. Miss Flora McCormick and her cousin Mr. McCjrmick, of St. Paul, are spend ing tbe week with relatives in our sec tion. Messrs. Biain and Bond Cash w el1, of Stedman, spent Sunday in our seotion. Fusion is beaten in New York and we are made glad. Fusion in politics is a curse any where and ought to be beat every time. Tammany cleaned 'em up. Tammany is a dandy. It would be nice if Gov. Garvin could fill all the offices in "little Rbodey." Ohio and Pennsylvania are states to be senoasly considered from a Demo cratic point of view, as very great sin ners. Tbe Republicans in these two States are in the "saddle" and say to tbe Democrats, "you walk while I ride then I will ride while you walk." We see in tbe ''Sampson Items" of last week that "Smiling Jooea" has discovered a spot in some pocasin where it rains all the time, or at least the leaves are wet with raio drops. He says it rains out of a clear sky when ihe sun is shining very bright or words to that effect He seems to be in a real wonderland, where wonders grow on bashes, and this phenomenon iscaasing a great deal of clamoring among the oredulous and the superstitious, and we suppose causing much concern in that part of tbe vineyard. However, we would console tbe good people and tell tbem tbat tbe Bible says no more floods for this sin cursed world. But people have been warned in all ages of tbe world for sins committed and in some eases given a chance to repent or retrace. Before Jerusalem was over thrown for tbe departure of the people from the paths laid down or marked out by their fathers tbe warning was very plain, so Joeephus tells us. Tbe sword suspended over tbe doomed city plainly told the inhabitants of the fear ful fate that awaited them, tbat tbeir city should be taken and tbey should fail by tbe sword a fearful forewarn ing of justice. A majority of tbe good people of Sampson have strayed off after false gods and left tbe old paths so plainly and honorably marked out by their fathers, hence tbe pore rain drops is a warning to come back to tbe patns of the immortal Vance and bis patriotic followers of 1376. Mr. Cbas. Carty has embarked in tbe steam mill bosineas. We wish him mccb success. Tatum is tbe name of a new post office established in ocr township re cently. Doctor Colbreth, of Wilmington, is in onr section, ready for work. If any one has aa aching tooth now is the time. Crops are all gathered or housed, and the farmers are very happy over an abundant yield and the good price ot cotton. Some of our boys attended the fair ast week, or at least we judge tbey did trout the horses they brought back Mr. Kowell, ot Craven county, is visiting bis daughter, Mrs. Jinkin Smith. Miss A. C. Melviu is teaching in Bla den tbis winter. Tbe way the State cress is taking the hide eff ot Judge Peebles aad tbat high toned jury tbat set in that farce of trial, where Haywood was earned through that mock trial nothing more is refreshing to one who wants to see jastice done. Tbat jiry and Judge Peebles ought to bave to serve out a sentence of at least thirty years n the State prison, where Haywood would have been if jostiee bad been dealt out to him. Bui we are glad tbat i part of the State press at least is ndepeodent enough to expose the high banded rascality tbat was practiced in tbe Haywood trial. This trial will go down in the minds of the people as one of the blackest spots in the history of North Carolma eoarts.

Bod The bill making effective tbe Cuban reciprocity convention reported by tbe Ways and Means Committee will be taken up in the House tomorrow and disposed ot Thursday. It probably will be sent to the Senate Friday. Mr. Sereoo E Payne, ot New Yoik. chairman ot Ihe Ways and Means Com mittae, in accordance wiin tbe notice he gave when he reported the bill on Friday, wilt ask the House as toon as it convenes tomorrow to begin its con sideration. A rale will be reported by the committee on Rales, providing for vote at i p. m. Thursday, witboot in tervening motion. Ou the adoption of the rule the House will go into commit tee of the whole and discussion of Ihe Cuban bill will begin. Tbe programme of tbe minority is well dittoed oy tne resolution adopted at tbe Democratic caucus last night. A rule cutting off amendments will be op d, in order tbat an amendment may be offered striking out tbe differ ential on rt fined sugar and eliminating tbe bve year clause. Tbe resolution made it the sense ot the caucus tbat the Democratic members should vote for the bill either "upon the. adoption or rejection of tbe amendment." With the House in committee of the whole Speaker Cannon will be given an opportunity to consider further the making up of tbe committees for the present Congress. it is tbe intention ot tbe senate lead ers to confine as closely as possible the legislation of the present extra session to tbe bill to carry into effect theCnban treaty, and with that end in view dally sessions ot tbe Senate during tbe present week will be brief, and another djonrnment will be taken on Thnrs- ay or 1! riday until the following Mon day. Tbe work of introducing bills and of presenting petitions will go forward, but witb tbe exception of tbe Cuban bill neither bills nor petitions will be taken up in committee nor discussed in the Senate during the week, It is quite well understood tbat Sen ator Morgan is prepared for a pro longed disonssion of the situation on tbe Isthmus of Panama, but while he seems not to bave taken anyone into his confidence tbe general supposition is that be w,ll defer his speeches notil the new canal treaty shall be sent to tbe Senate. Tbere is an understanding ou the part of Senators that even though the negotiations for tbe new convention be forthwith completed it will not be transmitted to the Senate ontil the beginning of tbe regular ses sion ot Congress. Along the Lines of Bladen, Cumberland and Bobeson. The venerable Rev. Joseph Evans, of Milton, N. C., spent several days in this community last week. Rev.

By January, any one will be able to too over a list ot side tracked railroad betterments which will tally a round $100,000 000 The Amalgamated Copper Trnst is loaded with heavy copper stocks, ao comulated in pegging up the price ot Lake Copper, and it baa made an adverse judicial decision on a single mine an excuse lor shutting down all its mines and throwing fifteen thousand men out of work. Snob things are always compromised and adjusted, but unless all was shrinking, tuob a shut down would never have occurred. Judge Claney's decision iu favor of John MoGinnis's suit to proteot his property and the injunction against the Amalgamated it only one step in a long etrnggle, which baa brought at Butte one trust and one union face to face, amicably keeping op miners' wa ges and copper quotations at the same time. Tbe attempt has failed. It is bound to tail everywhere, but the difference! a that when tbe miners make a mistake tbey loee, but when tbe trust makes a mistake the public loses. Tbe various collapses of trusts and other risky attempts to discount the future closed, as a beginning, two trnst companies in Baltimore (Maryland and Unioo) and Inn hftnlra in Pittahncv Pitat "National and Federal). One of these banks was an attempt to organize a "chain" or trust in a series of country banks. It collapsed as the other attempts toward partial monopoly have.

In all, the demand for labor ia de creasing. Pennsylvania Railroad train men, New York Elevated mo tor men, and otheia, are in conference with the managements, but these things are small beside the great movement in the ebb of Industry, an ebb due to the extravagant high tide of trusts. When lack ol work has spread, the fact will be plain that the unregulated organization of lndnstry by trusts can not continue. First trusts expand, then labor, naturally aroused by the spectacle of vast paper profits, strikes, dislocating Industry, and after a year and a half of strikes, beginning with anthracite, men are thrown out of wotk by tens of thousands, in the re action from the nnregulated action of great combinations of capital and la bor.
