The Washington Herald has a long aiticle pointing out the great activity of the Wall Street influences on the Democratic as well as the Republi can party in the South. It says that these influences which have been so lonir at work trying to discredit Roosevelt and his great reform poli cies, have waked up to the fact that that if they should get a reactionary candidate nominated by the Repub- can Convention, that Bryan would beat him for President. This has caused thee trust influences to go to work to beat Bryan for the nomina tion. In short, they want to get a safe and sane man like Judge Parker nominated by both parties and then the Wall Street crowd will not care who is elected. The interesting thing now to know is which Demo cratic and which Republican poli tlcians in North Carolina are these Wall Street influences dickering with. Thev are dickering with somebody. THE GOVERNOR AND THE RATE BILL. A special from Asheville to the Raleigh Times Monday afternoon stated that the Governor had been advised ry several of his party friends to call an extra session of the legislature to pass a new railroad rate bill making the maximum rate 2J cents per mile instead of 2, as passed by the last legislature. As reported in our news columns, Judge Pritchard had issued an in junction against the State Corpora tion Commission to prevent them from enforcing the new rate law which was to have gone Into effect in this State last Monday. The at torneys of the railroads and the at torneys for the Corporation Commis sion were heard before Judge Pritch ard in Asheville Saturday. Judge Pritchard ordered that the cases should be heard before Judge Mont gomery, Standing Master of the Eastern District, and his decision in the matter to be in October in the case of the Southern, and in Jan uary in the case of the Atlantic Coast Line. In the meantime the railroads must issue receipts for all fares in the State and for freight, so if the decision is against the rail roads, the people can present their receipts and have all money refun ded that they had paid in excess of the new rate. But we started out to tell about the Governor, his friends and the extra session of the legislature. The Governor's friends say that it has been proven that the railroads can earn a good profit selling tickets at 2 cents per mile, and that if the legislature were called in extra ses sion and would repeal the present law and make the maximum rate 2 cents that the railroads would stop J 1 the Court proceedings, which would have much expense to the B tale and the railrod. Ad1 last, feut not least, the Ooveroor's friend think poch an act would mike blrn very popular aud would greatly In- en-? ni cnancwi lor me unueu HUU- Hr-ntte. We should like to ee th railroad matter amicably ad justed, but we would prefer taking the matter to th Hague Peace Con ference, rhr than be inflicted with an extra ws-mion of the legislature. Mr. John Temple Grave, editor of one of the leading democratic dailie in Georgia, paid In Lexing ton, Ky., Tuesday, that If Mr. Ilooe- velt ia the Republican candidate for President airain that he belle ve he will break the Bolid South. That Georgia and Tennessee will fall in line for him. becaune the voters of those State want a President who tic things. Continuing Mr. Graves said : "Ilotinevelt ia the right man.

J "It is altogether probable," said Senator Sutherland, of Utah, at the Shoreham, "that the popular de mand for the renomination of Presi dent Roosevelt will be so over whelming that the convention wilL nominate him regardless of his own desires in the matter. It would be the greatest honor ever paid a man, and were it to come in this sponta neous fashion, representing the sen timent of the nation, it would not be in the nature of things that the President could refuse. "Such a consummation would be greatly to the liking of our Utah people, with whom the Chief Execu tive has always been a top-notch fa vorite." DOUBLE BARRELLED CANNON. Only One is at Athens, Georgia Result of the First Test. New Orleans Times-D mocrat J The only double barrelled cannon in the world is one of the historic curiosities of Athens, Ga. There is a history of unique in terest that goes along with this old cannon. liesiues Deing me only double barrelled "shooting iron" of this kind ever invented, it was con ceived with a peculiar idea by the inventor, John Gilleland, a member of the Mitchell Thunderbolts, a local military company during the war. Tne Miicneu rnunuerDoits was a company composed of men too old for active service in the field, and was organized purely for home de fence. Mr. Gilleland, the inventor, be lieved that with a cannon of the double barrel pattern, he could mow down Yankees by the hundreds. He had his cannon cast at the Athens foundry, and when finished it was hauled out to the outskirts of the city, where a test was made. One test was entirely sufficient to demon strate that the cannon was a rank failure. A 500 foot chain with the ends attached to two cannon balls was the charge. These balls were rammed into the cannon good and hard. It was the inventor's idea that when the cannon was fired the chain would stretch taut and cut down every thing within its length. When it was properly loaded it was touched off with great ceremony. One of the balls got out a little ahead of the other and the devil and Tom Jones were to pay. It had a kind of circular motion, ploughed up about an acre of ground, tore up a cornfield, mowed down saplings, and the chain broke, the two balls going in umerem uirecuons. une oi I 1 Ji XV a.Jif a rf-v I" II I II- 1211 B . toe uaus Kiiittu a young cow in a distant field, while the other knocked down a chimney from a log cabin.

If Marse Henry answers this question in the affirmative and the Kentucky voters believe what he says, the liiuo urass otate at least will rush headlong into the Repub lican camp. Industrial News. A gentleman dropped into The Republican office a few days ago and said that ha would never forget how he voted the Democratic ticket that helped to elect Cleveland, carried a pine torch and yelled himself hoarse in the Democratic jollification over the event, and then went home and nearly starved to death. Since then he had pinned his faith and allegi ance to Republican men and policies and never had cause to regret it.- Union Republican. The world do move. Recently a company of Confederate veterans re turning home from a reunion marched up the streets of Washing ton in their gray uniforms and their muskets on their shoulders to the White House, where they were re ceived by the Prssident.

Back in the 40s one dav DeoDle were surnrised at the sodden appearance of a pinkish looking cloud in the northwest. The rather warm winter's day changed to bit ter cold, and the snow began falling.

People of this section have never seen any thing like it sihee that day. The bug which came down on the snow flakes was not a native of this coun try at all and evidently came from some far southern clime. "How extensive this snow was I cannot say, but the ground was car peted with snow and pink bugs as far as the eye could reach, and it was a beautiful sight." Kansas City Journal. Bryan at State Fair.

June 30 -The heaviest fall of rain that can be recalled by many of the older citizens, fell Fri day eveniug. It lasted about an hour, and while the amount is not known, it was certainly the heaviest rain seen in these parts for years. The streets were turned into creeks and rivers, and water rushed Into many business houses, causing some damaere. Yesterday afternoon, it was said that the city's loss would C7 w be between 11,000 and $1,500.

"Wolves are getting to be such a pest in Texas that the legislature recently passed a scalp law, giving a bounty for each one slain," said Representative Burleson of the Lone Star State. "Our sheep and goat breeders have suffered great losses through the depredations on their flocks. Not long since I lost seven fine Angoias in one day, and unless some immu nity from the miserable wolvfs can had it is ueeless to keep in the busi ness of breeding animals for them to destroy. The wolves are of two kinds the small gray or timber wolf and the big black wolf, which revels in killing sheep and young calves. They are equally cunnincr in evading schemes aimed at their destruction. Soms sort of intuition tells them to let alone a niece of poisoned meat. Then, after making m a breakfast lunch from a slaughtered lamb, Mr. Wolf will start off for pastures new, and by nightfall will be thirty miles distant from the scene of the morning crime." Washington Poet. CENTRAL ILLINOIS REVENUE PRODUCER Furnishes $35,000,000 to the United In Whiskey Fees Yearly. moomington, III., June 27.

"Worry wears away the tleh by overstrain ing the nerves, disarranges the di gestive organs, and eventually af fects the whole system. But the general advice not to worry is more easily given than followed. There are so many complications of life affecting a man or his family that the ability to get along without worry is a possession of the few the exceptions. When, therefore, a physician gives the glib advice not to worry he usually overlooks the fact that the causes of worry are not to be removed by a few words, even though spoken by a professional The primary cause of old age ia anxiety of which the effects are soon noticeable in impaired circulation, a drawn and pallid countenance, and enfeebled activity. It is a demon strated fact that criminal and tramps rarely turn'gray until very late in life, and. this is because they give themselves literally no care, or rather, in general no responsibili ties or rather, recognizing none. But an ordinary man with the usual business and family burdens can no more avoid worry than he can do without breathing." Philadelphia Record. The Queer Bull Snake. A farmer by the name of Wilson, residing on Piney, four miles west of Dickson, came to town to-day bringing with him the stuffed hide of a bull snake which he had killed in his neighborhood recently, and which measures six feet in length. This is a species of snake rarelv found in this season, but a rather re markable feature Is that when one is found it is always a large one. The serpent takes Its name from the bel lowing sound it emits when angry, which ia very like that of a hnii when bellowing. There are numerous superstitions connected with it. one of which i that it lies in wait in woods and pastures for milch cows, and when one ot the latter Rnnrnrhm it -"J f-' vMV M springs upon her, securely entwines itseit about her legs so that she can not move, and in this fashion pro ceeds to suck her dry.
