Morris, j of Greensboro, became exhausted and before they could be rescued both of them had sunk below the waves and! their bodies could not be located. Sunday morning both of the young! men, in company with a cumber off others, left this city on Mr. J. C Baxter's launch for a day's outing 1 down Neuse River. Several of thej young men, including the two who lost their Uvea, decided that tbeyf would take a swim. They were! warned that this was a dangerous j place and to use their discretion Ini going very far out. Both of the! young men seemed to be expert) swimmers and were soon far ahead i of the others. j from shore, Mr. Morris was seen to throw up one hand and call for help. Immediately afterwards he went down. While those on shore were preparing to go to his assistance, Mr. Wiley was seen to be struggling with the strong current.

A large crowd of people went to the scene to witness the affair, the first of the kind in this section of the State. Included in the crowd present were between fifty and sixty ladies of the W. C. T. U., wearing bows of white ribbons pinned to their dresses. Sergeant McDowell started the work of destriction by hurling a bot tle of champaign against the base of the great concrete pier at the water's edge. The ladies of the W. C. T. U. were invited to participate in the destruc tion of the liquor, and they gladly accepted. They picked the hottles out of the barrels and threw them down a great pier with unerring aim Not one of the ladies failed to break a bottle. Some of the officers missed, but later the bottles were confiscated and destroyed. It required forty-five minutes to complete the work of destruction, af ter which several groups of photo graphs of the W. C. T. U.'s were tak en. The intoxicants destroyed included whiskey, beer, wine and chompagne, and it was worth many thousands of dollars as a mercantile product.

ATTACKS NORTH CABOLIXA LAW Labor Leaders Say the Labor Laws in This State Are the Biggest Farce in Existence. Richmond, Va., June 8. Lynch burg was chosen as the place of meet ing of the 1912 convention this morn ing at the session of the. Virginia Federation of Labor. The suggestion of the President, contained in his report was read by J. B. Clinedist, Newport News, chair man of the committee on the presi dent's report, that the Virginia Legis lature be asked to furnish free books and other paraphernalia to public school scholars and also for a com pulsory school measure, concerning children between ages of seven and twelve years. After some argument the twelve-year age limit was finally approved. Chairman Clinedist in speaking of the education matter, said that from his personal investigation, it is. not the negro child in Virginia who is ignorant, but the white children, em ployed in the factories of the State. "For every colored child that cannot read or write, I can show you ten white children that cannot," he said. A provision for sending a delegate to the Southern Conference on Wo man and Child Labor was approved after an amendment. In connection with this matter, Chairman Clinedist urged the betterment of labor laws in the Southern States. "The labor laws of North Carolina are the big gest farce in existence," he said, "and besides this, they are not being lived up to." RUSH FOR PANAMA BONDS. Nearly One Thousand Already Re ceived for the $50,000,000 Panama Cantal Loan. Washington, D. C, June 11. The Government's Panama loan probably j wui ue xaxen in me main vy smaii investors.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat in its first report on the cotton crop of 1911 says: "There has been a considerable in crease of acreage probably about 5 per cent, after allowing for areas abandoned because of boll weevil and for other areas over which the seed failed to germinate for want of mois ture. "The supply of labor is sufficient and cultivation has been exceedingly thorough. "Texas correspondents say that rains must come in the next few days, else serious deterioration will take place and certain sections of the At lantic States are in need of moisture. "The boll weevil is active in parts of Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkan sas; not much is heard of the pest elsewhere. "Taking the belt as a whole, the I condition of the crop was unusually mgn at the Gate of this report (June 5th), but the outlook is subject to sudden, change." WITNESSES IN LORIMER CASE.
