th- old Wayne, which is not 11
ci ii-nl in this state and is regarded
m a rink fraud, and Mr. Young got
u wurin on their trail that they
jiYi' it up and quit.
Al'Mut a month ago Information
win liW'd with the Commissioner
tlmt 1 1 1 Old Wayne was again
. Igniting in the name section,
through a man named Hascell. In
-(line places he was known as C. It.
lla-s. ll, in others as C. W. Hassell
and till otliers as C. I. Hassell.
OiniMnmilly he represented himself
in mi agent of the Editable, but did
nut solicit business for that com
pany. Ills operations were confined
t tin-Old Wayne. It is charged
n ' '
I
Unit lie collected money and deliver
id M(licUs and in some instances
took the money without delivering
pnliciej. He worked at Kenly,
U'H'ky Mount, Hawra, Wilson, Row
liiiul Hiid AshjKile, the latter two
places in Ilolioson county. Mont of
hi work lias been among the coun
try jieople, and despite the fact sev
eral wurrants have been out for him
the past month ho has shrewdly
eluded the officers until this week.
On Tuesday Mr. Young located
him at Uowland, near the South
Caniliim line, and went down to
have him arrested He was found
-nine distance from the town and
sm in Ud with a man named Mc
Cortnick and both md leen drink
mg. Deputy Sheritr McLeod, arm
ed with a warrant for C. W. Has
sell, went to the house to get his
man. Hassell claimed that he was
nt the man, saying his name was
V. 11. Hassell. Mr. Young was not
fur away and was communicated
with. The officer was instructed to
take the man. On the way to
Rowland Hassell tiegged the deputy
to walk with him a little distance
into the woods where he claimed to
have some whiskey hid, that he was
nearly dead for a drink. The officer
started with him but soon surmised
the search for the hidden bottle to
1h a sham, and called a halt and a
retreat. Hassell was then -suddenly
attacked with heart trouble and lay
down in the woods. The attack of
heart trouble was a bluff which did
in it work.
It was then up to the deputy, who
is a small man, while Hassell is a
two hundred pounder. The deputy
stuck to his job and as he could not
make the man w alk he dragged him
a short distance and called for help.
Assistance finally came, and Hassell
was carried to Rowland. Mr. Young
there took him in charge and
Wednesday night turned him over
to the sheriff of Johnson county,
where he awaits a preliminary hear
ing. Mr. E. W. Pou will represent
the state and Mr. Ed. S. Abell will
appear for Has?ell. The preliminary
hearing will take place at Kenley
uext Monday.
Mr. Young says Hassell a shrewd
fellow, apparently about fifty years
old. It is recalled that a "Doctor"
Hassell figured in the noted grave
yard swindling cases In Carteret
county a few years ago. It Is not
at all improbable that the man Mr.
Young now has under arrest is the
same individual. When arrested
this man paid his name was C. R.
Hassell, and if memory is not great
ly at fault, Dr. C. R. Hassell is the
name of the noted swindler who
was connected with the gigantic plot
to rob insurance companies by in
suring men already on the brink and
some who were actually in the grave.
If this is the same man he has al
ready scr"ved a term in the peniten
tiary. Post November 2nd.
Insurance Commissioner James R.
YouDg was no'Ified Monday after
noon that at the preliminary hear
ing at Kenly, "Dr." C. H Hassell
waived examination before Justice
E. G. Barnes and was held in a $500
bond for the next term of Johnston
county Superior Court.

Winston-Salem, N. C, Nov. 1
The State (iood Roads Concm '
i:u, u in me court house this morn
ing, the court room being filled with
citizen and visitors, the latter rep
resenting this and many other coun
ties throughout the State. The con
vention was called to order by coun-

I ... . . "o-
ij vvuiuiuissioner l IT. ir.rw-
rayer was offered by Bishop Rond
nearty addresses of wel
come wtie made by Mayor Eaton
and W. A. Blair, followed by a
fdirring response by Secretary Rich
ardson of the National Good Roads
Association.
In the absence of Governor Ay
cock, who will make his address to
morrow, Senator Simmons opened
the congress with a formal address
which was strong and bensible. Per
haiw the most hearty applause he
received was when he declared that
the State government of Nor.h
Carolina ought to quit trying to
farm and devote all the energies and
labor of its convicts to the better
ment of the public roads of the 8tate,
this wcrk to be supplemented by
the aid of cities, counties, townships,
communities and Individuals.
At the conclusion of Senator Slm
raoi9 timely address a temporary
organization was perfected by the
election of P. II. Hanes president
and W. A. Blair secretary. Post
master Reynolds followed Senator
Simmons, and represented Senator
Piitchard, who was unavoidably
detained at Madison court. Mr.
Reynolds made a strong and practi
cal speech. He endorsed the views
w -
expn ssed by Senator Simmons, and
especially his statement that State
convicts should be worked on the
roads instead of farms.
Capt. W. A. Hayes, representing
the Southern Railway, gave a practi
cal talk on the great advantage to a
community of reducing the cost of
freighting products, and said the
reason the railroads were making
better earnings now than formerly
was because they had devottd their
earning for the past five years
to lowering grades of their "track
so that the expense of hauling would
be less per mile. He said he had
just left Buffalo, where his mission
was to convince people of the North
that in the South was their hope for
the solution of the agricultural
problem; that with as rich soil as
New York, better climate for all
crops and cheaper lands, the South
was the garden spot of the universe.
He spoke of the first inquiries be
ing about the condition of the roads.
Good progress was made today in
the work of macadamizing Liberty
street road. This afternoon, in the
presence of a large crowd, demon
strations of road building were made
by President Moore and Secretary
Richardson, of the National Associa
tion; Mr. M. O. Eldridge, govern
ment road expert; State Geologist
J. A. Holmes and others.
At the night session of the con
gress stirring and practical addresses
were made by President W. H.
Moore and others Prof. J. A.
Holmes spoke and his address was
magnificently illustrated with stere-
optican views.

at the same time a resolute nurrjose
not to be driven by any calamity
from the path of strong, orderly,
popular liberty which, as a nation,
we have thus for safely trod.
Yes, in spite of this great disaster,
It is nevertheless true that no peo
ple on earth have such abundant
cause for thanksgiving as we have.
The past year in particular has been
one of peace and plenty. We have
prospered in things material and
have been able to work for own up
lifting in things intellectual and
spiritual. Let us remember that,
as much has been given us, much
will be expected from us, and that
true homage comes from the heart
as well as from the lips and shows
itself in deeds. We can beet prove
our thankfulness to the Almighty
by the way in whieh on this earth
and at this time each of us does his
duty to his fellow men.
Now, I therefore, I, Theodore
Roosevelt, President of the United
States, do hereby designate as a day
of general thanksgiving, Thursday,
the 28th of this present November,
and do recommend that throughout
the land the people cease from their
wonted occupations, and at their
several homes and places of worship
reverently thank the Giver of all
good for the countless blessings of
our national life.
In witness whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal to the United States to be af
fixed. Done at the City of Washington
this 2nd day of November, in the
year of Our Lord 1901, and of the
independence of the United States

Bryan on Whit Honae Dinner.
Waahtgton Post.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 31. In his
Commoner of to-morrowW J,
Bryan devotes a page and a hafr to
the Roosevelt-Washington White
House dinner incident. He says,
in part:
"The action of President Roose
velt in inviting Prof. Booker T.
Washington to dine at the White
House was unfortunate, to say the
least. It will give deptn and acri
mony to a race feeling already
strained to the utmost. The race
question, so far as it concerns our
coloredT population, presents itself
in four phases: First, the legal
right of the black man; second, his
educational opportunities; third, his
political privileges, and fourth, his
8- cial status."
Mr. Bryan argues that the negro
enjoys ail these privileges except
political, which is partially curtailed,
and social. He concludes by saying:
"The President may have invited
Mr. Washington without considering
the question that it raises, and Mr.
Washington may have accepted
from feeling that an invitation from
the President was equivalent to a
command. It is to be hoped that
both of them will, upon reflection,
realize the wisdom of abandoning:
their purpose to wipe out race lines
if they entertain such a purpose.
"Professor Washington's work as
an educator will be greatly impaired
If he allows it to be understood that
his object is to initiate the members
of his race into the social clubs of
the whites, and he will do injustice
to those of his own color if he turns
their thoughts away from intellect
ual and moral developments to the
less substantial advantages."
Drunkenness In Cities.
Before the Society for the Study
of Inebriety in London, a few days
ago, an English physician took the
view that because the reported ar
rests for drunkenness in a year Jn
London, Chicago and New York
were, respectively seven, thirteen
and twenty-three a thousand, there;
fore there was much more intoxica
tion in Chicago, in proportion to
population, than in London, and
much more in New York than in
either of the other two cities. This
is a preposterous inference, and it is
amazing that a medical man sup
posed to. be intelligent should draw
such a conclusion.
In some cities the police are ex
tremely lax in making arrests for
drunkenness when the drunkards
are not guilty of serioun breaches f
the peace. In other cities they are
rigorous and energetic in
making
euch arrests. The suggestion that
New York is almost twice as bad as
Chicago in alcoholic excesses . and
more than three times aa bad as
London is too absurd to merit discussion.-

Washington. Nov. 1. JodgAd
v orate Lemly announced at 12:35
p. m. to-day that he had do wit
revues to call, and then Mr. Rayner
followed him, saying that no wit
nesnea would he teurumooed on t
half of Admiral rchley iu surrebui-
al. For a moment It appeartxl as
to reach a sudden conclusion. But
this delusion was soon dilated by
the announcement on the part of
Captain Lemly that he might ak
to be allowed to bring in one more
witnes on Monday, and also a btate
mentfromMr. Ra veer that Admiral
Schley would himself desire to re
turn to the Itand on Monday to cor
rect errors In hi evidence as ofh
tIly reported. There is a -probability
that the admiral will consume
considerable time in going over the
printed record of whit he said, and
there also i an understanding that
he will make some additions to hla
former statements. But it is not
believed that beyond what he may
hive topay there will be much more
testimony taken in the cate. The
only witness that the judge advo
cate still has in mind is Lieutenant
Strauss, and Captain Lemly said to
day that if the lieutenant's attend
ance could be tecum! he would de
tain the court for a fhort time only.
Captain Sigsbee also will return to
the stand Monday to make correc
tions in the testimony given yester
day by him. These details com
pleted, the argument of counsel will
be begun, and then, counsel and the
public will withdraw and leave the
court to it deliberations.
The task before the court is not a
light one, and it may be weeks be
fore the final verdict will be reached.
How long the court may take to
consider the evidence is entirely
problematical. The members ot the
tribunal are evidently preparing to
devote considerable time to the con
sideration of the testimony, for ihey
have taken rooms in the city for
this purpose. The testimony covers
1,600 printed pages and the court
sat 36 days in listening to it. With
the additions yet to be made in the
way of argunit nt and documents,
the record probably will run over
1,700 pages.
Admiral Schley was in the court
room half an hour before proceed
ings began, but he announced that
he would not be able to undertake
the correction of his testimony be
fore next Monday. "There were
five whole days of It," he paid,
"and to go over it and make the
n eessary corrections is not a light
ta-k." It is probable that he will
have something more to say con
cerning his interview on May 18,
with Admiral Sampson, relative to
which Captain Chadwick spoke
yesterday.
To-day's witnesses were Sylvester
Scovel, a former newspaper corre
spondent who saw service in the
Cuban campaign; Lieutenant Hood,
who commanded the Hawk during
th- Spanish war, and al-o a number
of officers who were heard yesterday
and who returned to the stand to
correct testimony. The court held
only one session and adjourned over
until Monday. The attendance upon
the court to-day was the smallest
since the sessions began.
Washington, Nov. 4 The chief
feature of today's eession of the
court of inquiry was a decision
which the court rendr-red in regard
to the admission of evidence. It
was practically the first material de
cision which has, been adverse to
Admiral Schley since the inquiry
began. It excluded evidence of the
utmost importance to the applicant.
The testimony, had it been admit
ted, would have shown conclusively
the reason for the retrograde move
ment upon which Sampson 'based
his charge of reprehensible conduct
In substance the decision of the
court is this: That the statement of
a witness as to a conversation he
may have had cannot be contradict
ed by another witness,' provided
Admiral Schley did not hear the
conversation.
Testimony of this character has
upon several occasions, been admit
ted, notably in the case of Mr. Gra
ham, Mr. Hare, Mr. Scovel, and a
large number of other?, not only in
regard to Captain Sigsbee's declara
tion that the Spanish fleet was not
in Santiago, but also affecting other
conversations. While this testimony
remains upon the record the testi
mony of a similar character offered
today was excluded.
Mr." Banna Opena tbe Arm meat.
Mr. Hanna then began his argu
ment of the case, the first which the
court is to hear. lie prefaced his
remarks by saying . that he would
endeavor to do two things first, to
be brief and terse; second, to give a
careful and exhaustive review of the
testimony and a reference to the im
portant points which it embraced.
Mr. Hanna referred to the fact that,
owing to the scope of the inquiry,
tbe testimony had been voluminous,
and declared that this was perhaps
the most important inquiry ever
held. ,

THE TROUBLE ABOUT MISS STONE-
Some Fears That Sha and liar Compan
ion May be Murd red After th Han
som la Paid.
Sofia, Nov. 1. The best method
of transmitting the ransom demand
ed by the brigands for the release of
Miss Stone, the abducted American
missionary, and of assuring the safe
ty of the captives, are the matters
now engaging the attention of the
Samkoay missionaries, who are ne
gotiating with the kidnappers. It
is felt that unusual precautions are
necessary In order to safeguard Miss
Stone and the others, as there un
doubtedly is danger that the cap
tives will be murdered after the
ransom is paid.
Fears Entertained Tht Miss Stone Will
Ilare to be Sacrificed.
Constantinople, Nov. 1. The case
of Miss Stone has become more ser
ious. The brigands, it appears, are
still holding eut for the 25,000
ransom and it is feared that, should
they persist in their demand, ML-s
Stone will have to be sacrificed.
Nevertheless, the negotiations are
still proceeding. Anxiety prevails
at the United States legation this
evening, whence there has been an
active exchange of telegrams be
tween Secretary Eddy and various
points.
Mr. Eddy to-day had a long con
ference with Sir Nicholas R. O'Con
nor, the British ambassador here,
who is actively assisting in the ef
forts' to bring about Miss Stone's re
lease. Postal Development.
Postal development,' as reflected
in the finances of the department, is
proceeding with rapid strides. The
revenue for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1900, was a little over
$102,350,000, and for the ending
June 30 last it amounted to $111,
631,193. For- tbe current fiscal
year it is expected to be over $121,
000,000, and for the next fiscal year
a total in excess of $132,000,000 is
looked for, while the Postmaster
General is going to ask for appro
priations to the amount of $135,-
885,596. The growth of the busi
ness d me by the department is, of
course, more strikingly illustrated
if comparison be made with a time
long prior to this. In his annual
report Auditor Castle institutes such
comparison. Ee points out that
in 1836, the year in which h?s office
was established as an independent
institution, the total financial tran
sactions were leas than $6,000,000,
while the aggregate" of such trans
actions for the year 1901 was over
$803,000,00, this total including the
revenue and expenditures and the
amount of money orders issued and
paid Bradstreets. .

Admiral Evan, iu hi interesting
autobiography, "A Sailor's lg,"
relates an amusing anecdoUi of ('apt.
Trent-hard, who, when be command
ed the Rhode Inland, had a very ac-complii-hed
steward, a colored man
who had become ho ex-rt In catch
ing flies off the capta'-n'a bald h-ad
that the captain was never annoyed
by them. "Admiral Lardner," bays
Admiral Evans, "had for his steward
a large, heavy-banded Irishman,
who watched the colored man with
great envy while hU master, undis
turbed, enjoyed his meal. I'at'a
master thrashed at the flies and
swore roundly as they lighted on
his close croppe 1 hair. The colored
man went on catching flies with a
quick, dexterous movement of his
right hand, until Pat could stand it
no longer. Drawing lock he made
a vicious swing at a fly, but, Instead
of catching lt, he caught the admiral
an awful blow on the back of the
head. The admiral, thinking there
was a muting, grabbed tbe carving
knife and made after Patrick, who
retreated to tbe spar deck, and there
was a hurdle race fore aud aft the
officer ot the deck and tbe orderly
trying to catcu the admiral, who
was doing his best to put the carv
ing, knife in the back of Patrick,
who finally escaped but never bother
ed any more about flies on the ad
miral's head."

Rabbi Bcbulman, the one Jewish
priest whose sermon was reported,
urged upon his hearers the eupport
of the fusion ticket because of tbe
revelations concerning vice in the
tenement districts.
All the pro testa nt pastors report
ed, except two, talked for the fusion
ticket, asserting that vice and un
sanitary conditions exist here, and
that a change is needed. The ex
ceptions were Dr. David O. Wyile,
of the Scotch Presbyterian Church,
and the Rev. Dr. Nan De Water, of
St Andrew's Episcopal Church, who
advised their congregations to ex
amine the two tickets closely and
vote for the best men on them.
