The Concord Times. PUMJSHU QlDstS Mt FniMTI CONCORD. N. Cr. v ilOHN B. IHERRI UU, I M COITOII AND PHOMItTOII Faneral of nr. W. Dak. SptCal to Charlotte OQttw. jDcruam. May 10. All Durham! caused to-dkr to wr honor to the m memory of Washington Duke. All buiineM activity ceased and daring the time that the funeral waa on thousand of oeonle cathered at Main Street! Methodist Church and in that vicinity ( Oand at Mapiewood Cemetery to pay a lait respect to the memory of the deceased. Never before in the history of Durham has there been such an out- jburing of the citizenship to pay honor to the memory of man. A conservative estimate is that 15, 000 people were at the cemetery and along the lineJollowed by the proces sion. The cemetery and that vicinity was a block of humanity, thousands not being able to get within the hearing of the voices of the speakers. The procession was of such length that almost a half-hour was required for it to pass a given point. All ve hicles of a public nature and most of the private conveyances in the city were called into use and in addition to these, ouite a number of carnages were brought from Raleigh last night and assisted in handling the large crowd, All street cars on the traction, line gathered in front of the church to car ry the throng to the cemetery. The request of the mayor and board of aldermen that business houses close during the funeral was parried out to . the letter. There was not a business house in the city too large or too small to observe the request and close. All factories and large manufacturing plants, with the banks and similar institutions, closed for the entire day. In addition to these out-ot-town peo ple, a party of thirty came in from New York this morning, traveling in a pri vate car, these being officials of the American Tobacco Company. Dr. J. C. Kilgo delivered the eulogy in memory of Mr. Duke. He spoke for about 30 minutes, and it was one of the most beautiful tributes that could be paid to any man. He referred to the life of the deceased and then to tne great work he had done. apreme Court Find Error la Cole nil va. Railroad Co. Raleigh Post, 10th. The supreme court yesterday ordered a new trial in the case of Chas. Cole man vs. The Southern Railway Com pany, from Mecklenburg, on the ground that the trial judge below committed error in his charge to the Jury. The case is one in which the plaintiff, Charles Coleman, called at the Southern depot in Concord, February 5th, 1905, and asked for a ticket for HarriBburg to go on No. 11, the local train. The agent told him that the first train to arrive that morning would be the through train. He told the agent that the bulletin showed that the local train would arrive first, but the agent insisted that the first would be the through train. Later the train came and proved to be the local train. The agent insisted that he announced the arrival of the local train but did not see the plaintiff to correct the mistake he had made ' with him. Coleman discovered that it was the local train too late to get aboard. This was early in the morn ing and it became necessary for the plaintiff to wait until the afternoon to get a train and in the meantime the depot was closed up and the plaintiff turned out in the cold, as he alleged, so that he caught cold in a lame leg - and suffered greatly for several weeks. It was on this ground that the suit for " damages was instituted. In the trial below the judge held that the burden was on the defendent to show that after the misrepresentation of the trains to the plaintiff he gave to him correct information as to the trains in time for him to have gotten p board the train and further that it was brutal ity for the agent to have turned out the man into the snow and cold after the trains were gone. The opinion is written by Chief Justice Clark and two of the Justices, Walker and Brown, file opioions in which they concur in the result only. ' Plowlag a Cot to a Fields. Americub, Ga., May 10. Upon num erous plantations about Americus the unusual spectacle was presented today of farmers plowing np entire fields of cotton to successfully kill grass. Hundreds of acres of cotton are thu being wholly destroyed, but it is the only effective means at hand. The fine stands of cotton are com pletely concealed from view by rank grass, and as it cannot be worked suc cessfully, farmen are plowing up entire Helps and will replant the crop later, The prospect is very disoourag. ; Ho Wo Thief We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any of Catarrh that cannot be cured by 11 all's uatarra uure. a. i it.. n, rY i e We, the underslvlrU, have known F.

Here comes Bachelor Tom again in answer to the epistle of April 28. It is true I want a helpmeet, and a good one. I think it is better to batch in a narrow house than to dwell in a wide house with a brawling woman. Poor folks marrying is like running a time bill, you can see them going and com ing from town singing "Sweet bye and bye," and at fall the tune changes, "Show pity Lord, O Lord forgive, let a Irepenting poor man live. Prolong my time; my wife was obliged to have a new dress, and all the chaps were barefooted." I am very sorry the writer of the 2Sth thought I put a 'phone in to court with.

Weekly Crop Report. i Washington, May 9 Much cotton remains to be planted in Arkansas, northern Mississppi, portions of Lour iana and in northern and central Texas and planting is unfinished in the Caro linas, northern Georgia, Tennessee and Oklahoma. In central and northern Texas, a large area requires planting and that up is not in very promising condition and is in need of culti vation. In southern Texas the crop is in better condition although dam aged by rain. Good stands are reported from Central and eastern districts of cot ton belt, where crop is making favorable progress although needing cultivation in Georgia. The government report on cotton crop waa not so sensationally bullish as some of the bulls had expected, but is about what the more conservative ele ment looked for. Its reading on the principal cotton exchange floors was followed by a slight recession in prices, undoubtedly caused by realizing of logs Reports of damage by rain in Texas continue to come in over the wires of Hayward, Vick & Clark, one message from Waco, Texas reading : "Heavy rains and overflows have done much damage. Some bottom lands will be abandoned and much upper land will have to be replanted." JOO Reported Dead. Fort Worth, Texas, May 10. Re ports over railroad wires to Fort Worth says dispatches from Snyder, Oklahoma, to the train dispatcher of the Frisco at Sapulpa, I. T., reports a tornado struck Snyder to-night, wrecking the town and killing five hundred people, and relief has been asked for. Oklahoma, May 10. Many persons are reported to have been killed by a tornado at Snyder to-night. Gurthrie, Okla., May 11. The death list of last night's tornado at Sny der will probably exceed 100 persons. Eighty-five bodies have been recovered, a dozen perons are missing and given up for dead, and of the 41 seriously wounded, several are likely to die. More than JOO other persons suffered less severe injuries. Foet Cobb, Okla., May 11. Many law books, letters, photographs, bank books and papers were picked up here today, having been blown irom Snyder, a distance of 60 miles. The storm did little damage here. 19 Die la Wreck. Harrisburo, May 11. Nineteen persons are known to be dead and more than 100 others were injured in the rail road wreck and dynamite explosion which occurred early to-day on the Pennsylvania Railroad in the southern part of this city. That no more per sons were killed is considered remark able by the Pennsylvania Railroad of ficials, as a full box car of dynamite exploded directly at the middle of the heavy express train. Not one whole body was found in the wreck. Either an arm or a leg or all four limbs were burned off the trunk, and in several cases only portions of the trunks were found. Ten charred bodies were found under one Pullman car. It is the belief of the railroad officials that if the explosion had not occurred there probably would have been no loss of life.
