Inn, Charlotte Observer. Captain D. C. Hambley, of Salis bury, president of the Whitney Reduc tion Company, which it now engaged in harnessing the Narrow, of the Yad kin river, waa in the city yesterday, nd The Observer reporter bad ihort conversation with him about the prog ress of hia work. Captain Hambley is a much interviewed man, but v iwered the reporter's questions very pleasantly. When aaked if be objected to stating the nature of hia -biffeiness in town, he replied: "I Just came over with Mr. Fuller, of New York, an expert en gineer, to yii.it the plant of the Cataw ba Power Company. It teem to be very substantial affair, and I was much pleased with it, as waa Mr. Fuller. "At regards our plant on the Yadkin, there is not much to say. The plant has been put upon a firm financial basis, and we are now steadily at work. 1 think probably we will finish in two years, and when we are complete, we will have the third largest plant of its kind in the country. We intend to bring about .10,000 horse-power to unariotte. ui course, the companies you have are supplying the town pretty well, but your manufactories are con stantly on the increase, and I think you will have room for more power Jby the time we are ready. "Our plant is on the .Yadkin, eight miles from' Albemarle, and, I suppose, about 38 miles from Charlotte. We have recently moved our headquarters down to the river, and we are well fixed up there. The railroaS has also been extended to the river, and we are in a condition now for work. Our idea is, you, known, to start a town there around our plant. We will derive our power from a canal, which is to be 4 miles long." The Whitney Reduction Company owns both banks of the Yadkin for 10 miles up and down the Narrows, and they propose to develop 20,000 horse power. J. bey bave bad much trouble and litigation, and it is pleasant to learn that they have now begun work. It will be remembered that the Yadkin falls 800 feet in ten miles, while run' ning through the gorge of the TJwharie mountains,' known as the Narrows, The river is from 60 to 200 feet wide at this point, and the force generated by its rapid fall has been estimated at 26,' 000 horse-power at low water. A dam will be thrown across the Narrows, and the power derived from a canal will be made to concentrate the strength of its stream on a mighty turbine wheel, from which the power will be distrib uted wherever needed. Brraa Mare o la.l.aa Ballot.. A statement from Mr. William J. Bryan of his impressions daring hia speaking tours in Indiana, was issued at Democratio national headquarters. Mr. Bryan's second tour of Indiana has closed. According to bis own estimate, he has addressed 700,000 people, or an average of 60,000 or 70,000 people per day. He has made seventy-five speeches. He says he is pleased at the reception given him everywhere in the State. In the statement, as given out by the com mittee, Mr. Bryan is quoted as saying: 'So far as I can Judge from the size of the crowds and the interest mani fested and the expressions of the people, the Democrats of Indiana are ready for election day. There will be no consid erable defection among the silver Dem ocrats of the State. If I can judge from what I have seen in the sections I vis ited, I take it for. granted that every gold Democrat who has not gone over to the Republican party permanently will support the ticket. I leave Indiana with hope and-cotfidenoe of Demo cratic victory." Toaag Olrl la Wcd.ea Lea viae Prtaca Fell.

It is related that in the evening of the day when Tom Taggart was elected mayor of Indianapolis by bis largest majority, 200 ntgroes were released from a barn, where they had been se curely locked all day. It was asserted that the Taggart men located them in and that each negro received two dol lars when released. No prosecution oould be brought against anyone for detaining the negroes, as they bad en tered the barn of their own free will, and it was said that Mr. Taggart's purpose was the benevolent one of shielding ' the brotber-in-black from the temptation of selling his vote. If this had occurred in the South, it would have been the basis for a few North ern editorials on the fifteenth amend mentCharlotte Chronicle. The writer knew something like that to happen in North Carolina a few years ago. Indeed the same thing hap pened twioe with variations. It was in a county where the sheriff, who was a Republican, had a big barn just outside the corporate limits of the county seat One nignt he kept one hundred and fifty negroes (speaking approximately) at his barn and banded out whiskey at intervals during the night. In the morning as soon as the polls were opened all the negroes were formed in a line and with deputy sheriff at the head and another bring ing up the rear, marched to the polls and stood in line until the last negro had voted the Republican ticket, while white Democrats stood around waiting their turn. .. . In the same county at another time a large number of negroes were herded in an unoccupied barn witbin two blocks of the court house and were kept there all night with doors locked. In the morning all were taken to the polls and voted. The deputy sheriff feature was omitted this time, but one of their own color took charge of the key and saw that the prisoners voted the Republican ticket before they were released. As before said, these things hap pened in North Carolina not more thn fifteen years ago; but if any Northern papers devoted editorial space to the "8outhern Outrage" the writer does not know it. HumaDB Who Live In Neaia. Chicago Journal. Travellers who have returned from the heart of Africa and the Australa sian continent tell wonderful stories of nest-building people who inhabit the wilds of those countries. The bushmen of Australia are perhaps the lowest or der of men known. They are so primi tive that they do hot know enough to build even the simplest form of hut for shelter. The nearest they can ap proach to it ia to gather a lot of twigs and grass, and, taking them into a thicket or jungle, build a neit for a home. The nest is usually built large enough for the family, and if the latter be very numerous then the nests are of large size. Sornetimes the foliage above will form a natural covering, but there ia never any attempt at construct ing a protection from storms. Senator IsnaaoBs ajr. Newlaad Ill Defeat Blaekbara fcr 1.500 or more. Senator F. M. Simmons, in an inter view at Winston, Wednesdsy, stated that North Carolina would certainly return a solid Democratic delegation to Congress.

That VMS a strange tale John Saun ders, the blacksmith, told Mayor Boyden yesterday afternoon. It will be remembered that Saunders was ar rested yesterday morning at 3:30 o'clock for breaking into ' Mr. J. P. Weber's blacksmith shop and taking a hammer. The officers could not understand why the man, after entering the shop, had taken only a small hammer of comparatively no value. When Baun-, ders, on trial, was asked by Mayor Boyden if be wished to make any state ment, he replied that he had no recol lection of the affair, lie also stated that he had been drinking and that in nearly every instance when he drinks his senses forsake him and he is under a spell. "I have no idea what possessed me to enter the shop," he declared. Mayor Boyden took the case under advisement until morning, when Saun ders was released. The man has been working at Floyd's blacksmith Bhop and was regarded as a good smith. Character as aa Asset. That a substantial valuation is placed upon character in the 'business world has been asserted by J. Harry Tregoe, of Baltimore, former president of the National Association of Credit Men, at tne monthly meeting of the local or ganization in Chicago. "The men with positions to give have abandoned their desire for shrewd men who can obtain results without good ex planations," he said. "Character is a modern commercial asset of rapidly in creasing importance. "I he greatest evil tne country is facing today is commercialism. There is a rabid, almost insane desire to make money fast. Young men thrown into the large cities without capital, pos sessed of the ambitions created in a good home, see the swirl of city life and attempt to get into it to emulate the men of fctst lives. "The inevitable result, unless there is some restraint, is peculation." A Dare Tiling. It is said that nothing is sure except death and taxes, bnt that is not alto gether true. Dr. Kind's New Discovery for Consumption is a sure cure for all lnng and throat troubles. Thousands can testify to that. Mrs. O. B. Van Metre, of Shepherdtown, W. Va., says : "I had a severe case of Bronchitis and for a year tried everything I heard o', but got no relief. One bottle of Dr. Binge New Discovery cured me abso lutely."

It is pretty certain that the temper- since, cause is going to hasp some interffgent attention in the nexr Legis lature. The papers that have advocated the policy of letting the Watts law alone until it has had time to vindicate itself, are not meeting with much encourage ment. There must be some further legislation before the people will be satisfied. Perhaps the time is not yet ripe for a general prohibition move ment. ' Perhaps another plan will work as good results, but whatever may be thought about this matter, it is quite evident that the majority of our citi zens are in favor of putting the liquor interests out of power. The utter failure of certain politicians to carry the country against the town on the Watts law is most gratifying. Country peo ple bave sense enough to know that any law that deprives tnem ol tne liquor dens and distilleries is not a dis crimination against them, but in their favor. The truth is, the strongest temperance sentiment we have at all is in our rural communities. The more stringent the law against whiskey the better the country people re pleased. We judge, from the nomina tions) that have been made, that our next General Assembly will be com posed of good average representatives, and they will go up to Raleigh with very clear ideas' of what the people want on this temperance question. And the very fact thai the great msjnrity of our folks are against the liquor traffic is very good reason to hope that they will get what they demand. Politicians may be afraid of the saloon mp but tbey are ten times more afraid of the people and they would better be. Alrahlp'a Viral gucceaafal FHkUI Here Hundreds of thousands of persons at St. Louis last week saw and ap plauded the first really successful flight of a dirigible balloon that has been made in the United States. A. E. Knabenshue, of Toledo, O., as cended and took flight in the big air ship, the Arrow, invented by Capt. T. 8 Baldwin, of San Francisco. In the clear air of a beautiful autumn day Knabenshue directed and drove the bal loon in the very face of a ten-mile breeze at the height of half a mile. Eastward went the airship, across the Mississippi River, until, after an hour and ten minutes, it landed, gently and securely, in Illinois, two and a half miles southeast of East St. Louis and eight miles from its starting point. Letter to Harry Swluk, Concord, N. C Dear Sir: Here s something every painter snd builder ought to know. Mr. J. J. Hall, Sheffield, Pa., painted two bouses, 5 years ago, lead and-oil; took 40 gallons. Last year, he painted Devoe; bought 40 gallons; had 10 left. He is one of thousands. The know ledge is getting about pretty generally, that Devoe goes further than anything else. Have you found it out in your own experience ? How much further f Suppose a job amounts to 100,000 square feet; bow much less Devoe could you buyf - Is it easy to paint ? Does it cost any more or less to put on by the gallon than anything else T how much T If it costs no more to put-on Devoe by the gallon, it costs less by the foot, you know: for the gallon does more feet. How much less, do you find it, for wages T Lasts, ssy, twice aa long; that is the owner s gain; but perhaps you reckon it yours; some do.

We have an idea that we bave writ ten on this line before, but it is im portant to keep in view the good things of the past while we cast the bad away. Our fathers were wise men. They laid proud and deep foundations. They made mistakes, for they were human, but they had lots of sense. Some years ago our churches went wild over evangelists, and we ran after the pro fessional preachers and made them r ch. We are coming to know that the proper man to assist a pastor in a meet ing is a fellow-pastor. We also shout ed for the new methods in school work, and thought the old plan of drilling pupils was out of date. We are now coming to see that the old field school was the moat thorough school in the world, and the fine old "blue-back" is coming once more into its own. So with many other things. We hold too loosely to many doctrines and practices of our fathers just because they are old. What we need is a bet ter grip on the good things of the past, and a little less confidence in the reck less claims of the beardless youths of the present. It is mighty hard to down the truth, however, and from the dust and clamor of present-day methods and opinions it will emerge as clear and strong as ever. Col. Henry Walterson in Collier's Weekly pays his respects to President Roosevelt. The object of the article is to prove that he is, in bis official ca pacity, a hypocrite.
