last Friday committed to jail without
hail privileges. The State contended

I: ad no right to re-hear after judgment
was rendered. The justice said It was
rot a rehearing, but a re-opening. The
f"nse had two physicians sworn in
as ixperts to examine the girl, but the
Suite at first objected and no exami
nation was then made, but the doctors
wero questioned as experts. The State
Hun introduced as a witness a woman
living near the home or the Pleasants
girl, and her evidence as to the affair
,iU vrrv strong against Goodwin. The
jittorneys for the defense insisted that
the State was afraid to have the girl
examined. The attorney for the Stat
oskel immediately if the defense real
ly desired this examination. The de
fense said yes. The examination was
then made by physicians and their
evidence showed the conditions to be
ns represented by the State. Goodwin
was recommitted to Jail without bail.

NORTH CAROLINA CROPS
Scattered Showers and Very Warm
Weather the Past Week.
With few exceptions the reports
from crop correspondents for the
week ending Monday, August 10th.
the past week were very favorable;
the exceptions come from countiJ3
where drought continues to prevail to
a considerable extent, chiefly Gran
ville and Montgomery counties in the
central district, and portions of Meck
lenburg, Rowan, Gaston, Caldwell and
Lincoln in the western; in these
conatie crops, especially old .corn
and cotton, are still suffering from the
deficiency in moisture. Over the
larger portion of the State, however,
frequent showers occurred during the
week which had a highly beneficial
effect on crops, though the amount
was generally Insufficient to soften
the soil for plowing; a general rain
is still much to be desired. The tem
perature conditions were favorable,
the mean for the week being some
what above norma!, but there were
no excessively hot days as the
amount of sunshine was moderate.
Crops generally continued to improve
except in localities where the drought
has not been broken.
Over large areas, old as well as
late corn, were much benefitted by
timely rains and are earing well; in
some sections early corn continued
to suffer for lack of rain where up
land crops fired and even tassels are
dead, but late com is still fine every
where; some correspondents report
that corn is better than for years, and
in Eomo counties stalks bearing two
or more cars are common. Fodder i3
ripening and gathering it i3 now un
derway. Cotton continues to improve;
many report that it now has plenty
of weed, but in the dry sections the
plants have remained small, with
blooms near the top; late cotton is
now loaded with squares and bloom
ing freely; the amount of shedding is
not excessive, and reports are num
erous to the effect that cotton is
fruiting very well. Tobacco needs
rain to mature the top crop; in the
dry counties it is small and
narrow and does not cure very
satisfactorily; curing is nearing com
pletion in Eouthern and eastern coun
ties, but is. not yet fully underway in
the largest producing counties in the
northern portion of the State. Rice,
peanuts, peas and potatoes continue
to do well. Some turnips have been
sown. Graphs are ripening with pros
pect3 for an average crop; apples and
peaches are good in some sections
and quite poor in others, generally
only a fair crop; melons are late, but
are improving in quality. A general
rain Is need to enable farmers to be
gin their fall plowing.

A TERRIBLE STORY
Cf Murders, Burnings and General
Outrages Comes From Turkey
BULGARIA ARRAIGNS THE TURKS
In a rVmorandum Presented to the
Powers th: Bulgarian Government
Sets Forth the Conditloc of Affair
in flacedonia.
Sofia, By Cable. The Bulgarian gov
ernment has presented a memorandum
to the powers, setting out -at great
length the condition of affairs during
the past three .months in Macedonia
cicce the Turkish government under
Vok to inaugurate the promised re
forms. The most precis? details, dates,
places and names of persons are given
in the memorandum, the whole con
stituting a terrible category of murder,
torture, incendiarism, pillage and gen
eral oppression committed by Otto
man soldiers and officials. These par
ticulars were obtained entirely from
ofiicial sources, such as the reports of
the Bulgarian consuls and agents of
the Bulgarian government, and in
many instances, the reports made by
Turkish authorities. The Bulgarian
government guarantees the absolute
truth of every statement and chal
lenges the Porte to disprove a single
charge made in the memorandum,
whicch begins by stating that during
the past three months the Ottoman
government has taken a series of
measures with the alleged intention
of inaugurating the era of promised re
tcrm and of assuring peace and tran
quility to the Bulgarian population of
European Turkey, but which have
had the contrary effect of further exas
perating this population and reviving
the revolutionary movement. Instead
of proceeding solely against persons
guilty of breaches of the public order,
the military and civil authorities have
scught every possible pretext to per
secute, terrorize and ruin the Bulgar
ian inhabitants, alike in the large
cities and in the small villages.
Numerous assassinations, burnings
and other outrages are charged.
Dealing with other acts of oppres
sion, there the memorandum states
that the Bulgarian merchants and
artisans living in Constantinople and
Salonica were ordered to their native
villages and were not allowed any
time or opportunity to dispose of
their business or property. Some of
these Bulgarians who, with their fam
ilies, had been tablished for 20
years or more, were utterly ruined.
As the order applied equally to pro
fessors and schoolmasters, the Bul
garian schools were closed , before the
end of the school year. The authori
ties rigorously enforced the same or
der against the Bulgarian priests,
making every effort to paralyze the
development of religious asd educa
tional work, and deprive the Bul
garian exarch of all his privileges and
force the people to come under the
authority of the Greek patriarch.
Encouraged by the Ottoman au
thorities, the Greek bishops and arch
imandrites forced their way into the
Bulgarian churches and burned the
prayer-books and menaced the peo
ple. The archimandrate of Salonica
declared in a recent sermon that the
Sultan did not want Bulgarian ex
aches in his empire; if they remained
they would be exterminated.
fl lis Take Vacation.
Burlington, Vt., Special. The Bur
lington, Winsooki and Colchester Mills
of the American Wollen Company will
not resume operations soon, orders
having been received for a two weeks'
suspension. In addition to the Wash
ington Mills at Lawrence, Mass., and
the Assabet Mills at Maynard, Mass.,
the company has also decided to close
the Lebanon and Masccma MiHs and
Baleric Mills of Enfield in the Mas
coma Valley, N. H., for a similar pe
riod. These mills employ a total of
about 10,000 hands. The shut-down, the
company announces, is for the purpose
of giving the employes a vacation and
repairs and improvements at the sev
eral plants.
Attention Called.
Constantinople, By Cable. The Brit
ish ambassador has called the atten
tion of the Porte to the serious situa
tion in Macedonia. He pointed; out that
grave consequences may attend fresh
murders of consuls or foreign subjects.
The ambassador had an audience with
the Sultan on Friday.
Spike to Catholic?.
Oyster Bay, Special. President
Roosevelt delivered the principal ad
dress at the quarterly meeting of the
Society of the Holy Name, of Brook
lyn and Long Island, held here Sun
day. Decency of speech and conduct
constituted the theme of his ad
dress, which was enthusiastically ap
plauded by an audience of more
than 2,000 persons, chiefly men.
Father Powers, rector of St. Domi
nick's, introduced the President in a
felicitious speech in which he spoke
cf the esteem in which Mr. Roose
velt is held by the Catholics of this
country.
Terrible Storm.
Merida, By Cable The effects of the
tropical cyclone here and in Progresso
have been terrible. The wind com
menced in the early hours of the night,
and panic quickly seized the communi
ty. The wind tore up great trees by the
roots, blew roofs away, and destroyed
houses and plantations. Great damage
was done in a very short time. Great
efforts were made to save small ves
sels, but about 20 of those in the port
of Progresso were cast upon the shore.
THE PRIZE FIGHT.
Jeffries Whips Corbett Easily at
Satt Francisco.
Mechanics Pavilion, San Francisco,
Fpecial. James J. Jeffries, champion
heavyweight of the world, played with
Jim Corbett for nine rounds and a
half, and then Cor belt's seconds mo
tioned to Referee Graney to stop the
fight in order to save their man from
needless punishment. The end came
shortly liter the beginning of the ninth
tound when Jeffries planted one
of his terrific left swings on Jlm'i;
stomach. The man who conquered JotL
L. Su!!1van dropped to the floor in
agony, and the memorable scene at
Carson City was again enacted, when
Bob Fit73immons land?d his sohir
plexu3 blow. This time, however, Cor
bett struggled to his feet and again
faced his giant adversary. With hardly
a moment's hesitation Jeffries swung
his right and again landed on Corbett's
stomacr. He dropped to the floor, and
then it was that Tommy Ryan, seeing
that it was all over, motioned to the
referee to stop the punishment.
The Typographical Union.
Washington, Special. An important
proposition coming from the commit
tee on laws, which was adopted by the
International Typographical Union,
was that which permits subordinate
unions to incorporate in exceptional
cases.
The union took up the Los Angeles
Times case and voted for a referendum
on the question of an assessment for
funds to unionism The Times office.
A statement was read from General
Otis, of The Times, saying that the of
fice was by choice a fraternal office,
that high wages were paid and no sur
render would be made. Delegate Hayh,
of L03 Angeles, told of the union's
course and expressed hope of ultimate
success.
- In the Spokane and Seattle cases, in
which President Lynch is charged by
Commissioner Driscoll with a violation
of the arbitration agreement, the com
mittee on arbitration reported an en
dorsement of President Lynch and the
executive council ,and accused cne pub
lishers of precipitating the trouble by
a display of bad faith. The report &aya
the union constitution cannot be arbi
trated, but asserts a belief in arbitra
tion where the parties approach the
question in a fair and conciliatory
manner.
The woman's auxiliary elected Mrs.
Frank L. Kennedy, of Omaha, presi
dent and Mrs. C. C. Houston, of Atlan
ta, one of the vice presidents.
The convention adopted a special or
ganizer to visit, several towns in the
South to organize new uniors and to
visit established unions for the pur
pose of strengthening the same. The
convention adopted the proposition to
organize newspaper writers and au
thorize expenditures of the necessary
funds therefore. The death benefit was
increased to $70.
Jett and White Convicted.
Cynthiana, Ky., Special. The jury
in the case of Curtis Jett and Thomas
White, charged with the 2ssassinatoa
of James B. Marcum at Jackson, Ky.,
leturned a verdict of guilty, fixing the
punishment of each at, life Imprison
ment. The verdict was returned at a
time when there were but few persons
in the court room. The' only attorney
present was County Attorney Web
ster. Jett received the verdict with
comparative indifference and calmness,
White who has beenapparently under a
severe strain durlngthe trial, flushed up
and his eyes filled with tears. The ver
dict occasioned little surprise. The only
question which caused the delay, it is
said, was whether to make the punish
ment death or life imprisonment.
Yellow Fever. -
Laredo, Tex., Special Dr. H. J.
Hamilton, United States hospital sur
geon, has completed his investigation
of the reported cases of yellow fever
at Monterey, Mex., and has notified the

New York. Special. The long-ex.
pec ted announcement that the Sea
board Air Line had pas-scd. at Ut.
practically Into new hands, was made
Wednesday by Iadenburg. Thalman &
Co.. who issued a statement sh awing
that interests representing the Rock
Island and St. Ixuls & San Francisco
Lad secured representation in the Sea
board directorate and board of voting
trustees. The official statement was
as follows:
"Ladenburg. Thalman & Company
announce that they have completed
negotiations whereby new and impor
tant interests have become identified
with the Seaboard Air Line Railway
Company. B. F. Yoakum and II. Clay
Pierce and B. F. Guinness, of I Aden
burg. Thalman & Company, and Ok
kigh Thome, president of the North
American Trust Company, have been
elected voting trustees of the Seaboard
Air Line Railway."
President John Skelton Williams
also announces that iJ. Y. Yoakum, H.
Clay Pierce. Okleigh Thome and S. B.
Van Vorst have been elected directors
of the Seaboard Air Line Railway. Mr.
Yoakum is president of the St. Ixmis
& San Francisco Railroad, for which
company J. P. Morgan & Co.. are fiscal
agents. The official announcement of
the deal also said:
"The chansje of personnel of voting
trustees of the stock of the Seaboard
Air Lino Company does not mean the
purchase of that company by Rock Is
land or 'Frisco interests, although the
'Frisco lines extend into Birmingham,
and are a part of the Southern situa
tion. It docs, however, emphasize the
fact that all the great railway systems
are carrying out the policy of more
closely cementing the railway trans
portation interests of the country,
which will greatly retard and It is
hoped entirely prevent demoralization
of the rate situation, or the unneces
sary construction and duplication of
property. Attention is called to the
fact that with the discontinuance of
any further construction by the Sea.
board Air Line the value of the prop
erties are greatly enhanced, and an
other gratifying fact at this time and
which is further evidence of the fu
ture disposition of the railways ol the
United States is that this deal docs not
call for any financing ur supplying of
new money."
One of the voting trustees when ask
ed to state the real significance of the
deal said that it meant a "better un
derstanding among interests that have
at various times conflicted."
Savere Tropical Storm.
Kingston, Jamaica. By Cable. The
West Indian hurricane struck the
island of Jamaica with full force
Tuesday, inflicting great damage. Port
Antonio, on the north coast, was com
pletely overwhelmed. Only six houses
were left standing, through the United
Fruit Company's wharves, oillccs, ho
tel and plantations were utterly de
molished. Five of the company's
steamers, including the Simon Du
mois, Alfred Pumois and Brighton,
were driven ashore, but are lying in
easy positions. Port Maria, another
town on the north coast, also suffered
similarly. The coast is strewn with
the wreckage of local sailing boats.
The southeastern portion of the
Island has been completely denuded
of its crops, the rivers are flooded, and
many men were carried out to sea and
drowned. Considering the damage to
property during the hurricaoe, the
loss of life is comparatively small,
though the present estimate is that
the death list will reach 50. Hundreds
of persons were injured, and there
were numerous hairbreadth escapes.
The property loss is estimated at $10,
000,000. The entire eastern end of the
island ha3 been devastated. Villages
have been wiped out, and public build
ings and churches demolished. Thou
sands of the peasantry, rendered
homeless and destitute, are wandering
about seeking food and shelter. The
destruction of the banana plantations
has been "complete, and the fruit trade
is paralyzed for the next 12 months.
Hundreds of prosperous fruit growers
have been brought to bankruptcy and
ruin.

No Influence of suppression a
mighty and effective could be brought
to bear as a law making amputation
the penalty for the crime of rape. Hut
this, like curfew edicts, eeparate laws
for white and black, or the treatment
of the crime of rape v separate and
outside of all other coa are but ea
pcdlerits. he maintained; there la co
real remedy but one. No statute will
permanently solve this problem. Re
ligion does not solve it. Education
complicates It. Politics comp'.lra'.ca It.
"The truth which lie beyond and
above all those temporizing expedi.
enta." he concluded. Ha that separa

only solution of this greit problem of

Discussing the subject cf "Mental
and Moral Contagion." Ir. J. M. Huck
ley. of New York, after speaking at
some length of the various transient
end permanent changes that take place
under different phys!cl and mental
Influences, In human personality, took
up the question of crime and arraed
that all crime implied the existence of
society and Its attritions, that !n and
vice could be committed by a person
alone In the world, but rot so crime.
He showed the operation of this and
bow far through their natural causes
epidemics might spread.
In conclusion, he declared that
laws of association bring on suh gen
eral and feverish criminal tendencies,
so the laws of association must be em
ployed to antagonize them. :
