The deffitji of Mrs. Bettie Howell -wife D.f Mr. Dave Howell, occurred at Itxer .home last Saturday afternoon near Oakland Chur.ch, after only a few hours severe illness, though she &jd been in declining healtn or sev eral years.

Mr. Crocker's wagon was re duced to kindling wood, and Mr. Ward was blown out the top of the 'build ing, but escaped unhurt, being pro tected by a sheet of cotton. It was the most terrible calamity which has ever happened in that section and is deeply regretted by Mr. Hastings' many friends. He was one of the community's substantial farmers, and ginners, a very industrious man, and will be missed' in the neighborhood, where he has lived all his life, and had the universal esteem of hosts of friends.

MF.y IN THE NAYY Recommendation te Tiiis End May Be Sent to Next Congress toy Secretary Meyer. Washington, D. C, Oct. 8. Six thousand jnojv'enlisted men are want ed to properly man the ships of the navy. A recommendation to that ef feet probably will be made to Con gress by Mr. Meyer, Secretary of the Navy. If Congress follows its usual course, the recommendation will be cut in two and the navy will be inr creased 3,000 men, which would toying the authorized maximum up to 47,500. Thg increase is held to be indispen sable to the prpmotion of fleet efficien cy along lines contemplated by the Bureau of Navigation. JTJje navy is now recruited almost to the authorised maximum, the exact strength ' being .4.4,12$, The, percent age of re-enlistments has sprung from 57 per cent.' in 1908 to 65 per cent, in 1909. Although. 92,000 persons applied to enlist, the physical requirements are so strict that only 18,728 were ' accepted, - THE RIGHTSOF PERSONS Judge Anderson Mekes Him self Clear and Forceful In An Oninion. Views With Apprehension the Success of Such Proceedings, v Which Would Drag Men From Their Homes on Such Charge. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 12. Judge A. B. Anderson, of the United States Court of this district, today dismissed the proceedings against Delavan Smith and Charles R. Williams, pro prietors of the Indianapolis News, who were resisting removal to the District of Columbia for trial under a grand jury indictment charging them with having committed criminal libel against ex-President Roosevelt, Pres ident Taft, Charles P. Taft, William Nelson Cromwell, J. Pierpont Morgan and others, in publishing articles al leging that there was a corrupt profit of $28,000,000 in the sale of the Pana ma Canal to the United States. "That man has read the history of our institutions to little - purpose," said Judge Anderson in concluding his decision, "who does not view with ap prehension the success of such a pro ceeding as thjs to the end that citi zens could be dragged from their homes to the District of Columbia, the seat of government, for trial under the circumstances of this case. The defendants are dicharged." At the close of argument in the hearing, Judge Anderson said that he was too busy to write a long opinion in the case, but he would sum up at once hjs view of the evidence and the argument. "Now, there are many peculiar cir cumstances about the whole Panama canal business, J do pot wish to be understood as reflecting upon anybody in or oujt of office, except such person or persons as I may name.. "The revolution in Panama, the cir cumstances concerning it, were unus-r ual and peculiar. The people were interested in the construction of the canal. It was a matter of great pub lic concern; a large portion of the people favored the Nicaraguan route; another portion, those who were in terested in it, officially and personal lyjust tuief ested preferred the Panama route. A eoinmittpe $jraj apj pointed to investigate the relative merits of the two routes. They in vestigated and reported in favor of the Nicaraguan route. Shortly afterwards they changed to Panama. "Now, there were a number of peo ple who thought there was something wrong something not just exactly right about that transaction, and I say. for mygelf that now I feel a natural curiosity to know what the reai truth was. "Thereupon the committee pf the United States genate was appointed to investigate these matters -about the only way it could be investigated. The committee met, as stated in these articles, these men who knew all about it. I think that is the proper way to speak of William Nelson Crom well. Well, these men were called before the committee, and so far as the record has been read, Mr. Crom well stood upon his privilege when ever questions were asked, the an swer to which would or might reflect upon him or his associates; but when ever a question was asked which gave him an opportunity to say something in their behalf ' he ostentatiously thanked the examiner and proceeded to answer. To my mind that was just grounds for suspicion. I am suspi cious abou jitnpw. "Sq w haye this situation. Here is a matter pf great public concern. I was interested, you were interested, we were all Interested. Here will be a newspaper printing the news or trying to. Here was this matter up for discussion, and I am not willing to say that the inferences were too strongly drawn." The judge continued that the court must determine f the defendants, when they prepare and publish fifty copies of a newspaper in the city of Indianapolis and deposit them in the United States mail in this building to be transmitted by mail to fifty sub scribers in Washington do they pub lish those fifty copies in Washington? "To my mind," Jie added, "there is but one conclusion to be drawn. Everything that ' the evidence uhows that defendants do or did, they do and did in the State of Indiana, City of Indianapolis.. J am not here to say that if these defendants had an- agent in Washington to whom they gent for circulation copies of this paper, that they might not be amenable to prose cution in Washington, if they could be arrested in Washington. : "To my mind that man has read the history of our institutions to very Utr- tle purpose who does not put very little valuation on the possible success of evidence such as this. If the his tory of liberty jnean3 anything, if the constitution means anything, then the power: to select the tribunal, if there be more than one to select fronl, at the capital of the nation, nor should the government have the power to drag citizens from distant states there for trial." Even the rumors are these days. flying' about It in easy to track a street car. A GREAT STATE OCCASION. Ircsiaent T&ft's Tlslt to Wilmington Promises to Be One of the Greatest Events in the Histoi of North Car olina. " A long list of attractions have been arranged by the people of Wilmington to entertain President Taft and the thousands of visitors who will join in welcoming him' on the occasion of his Visit to this city on Tuesday, Novem ber 9. The city will be gaily deco rated and brilliantly lighted, and the parade of national and State troops, with numerous brass bands, promises to be within itself a great event. The marine parade on the Cape Fear river to and from Fort Caswell and Fort Fisher, to accompany the Revenue Cutter Seminole with Mr. Taft and his party aboard, will be composed ot a convoy of a flotilla of four torpedo boats and numerous ex cursion steamers said to be adequate to carry all who wish to join the mer ry and happy throng on this gala oc casion. Electric cars will make fast and frequent trips to the ocean. An added attraction at this partic ular season will be the opportunity to see the large ocean steamers loading cotton for Liverpool. Hotel and boarding house facilities will be augmented by accommodations in many private homes. Accommoda tions can be secured in advance by ad dressing Hotel Committee Taft Cele bration. The President will be accompanied by several eminent statesmen and oth er prominent citizens, including a number of leading correspondents, re porters and photographers from the metropolitan newspapers and illus trated publications.

The Atlantic Coast Lirie will run three special trains on Noyember 9, the day the Presidential party will be in Wilmington, namely: from Flor ence, Sanford and New Bern, the reg ular trains in one or more sections being designed to accommodate the visitors from Rocky Mount, Goldsboro, etc. The special trains will all return in the evening after the President leaves for Richmond. The Coast Line will place round trip tickets on sale at low rates from about 15Q stations to Wilmington and return, to be sold November 8 and 9, good to return up to and including November 10. They will also put on an exceedingly low rate for military companies. " NOTABLE PREDICTIONS John p. St. Jolw Praphecles on Politics Asd Pre hibitios. He Says Theodore RooseTelt Vflll Be the Next Presidential Candidate of Republican Party Unless Death Intervenes. Spokane, Wash., Oct. 12. John P. St. John, formerly governor of Kan sas, who has come to Spokane to be gin the flght for prohibition in the State of Washington, made two pre dictions in the course of an interview: "Nothing except his death will pre vent the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt to succeed' President Taft, and if he is not ejected bq other Re publican can be. 5 len years hence there won t be a legalized saloon within the boundaries of this commonwealth. Spokane will be 'dry' in five years from this time." Mr. St. John said among other things in speaking of Roosevelt and Taft: - "Theodore Roosevelt is the sharpest politician in the United States. But for him Mr. Taft never would have been thought of for the presidency. Roosevelt knew Taft,-believed him to be an honest man, and so do I, but he knew that Taft is a putty man, soft putty at that. Rosevelt helped to elect Taft. He knew that his admin Istratton would be a failure. "Roosevelt went off to Africa He is not mixed up in any of the quesr tions before the people today. In the course of eighteen months he will re turn, covered with rhino hides, : ele phant tns,ks and " glory, The, ; 'howl and yell' element in politics will raise the cry for Roosevelt.

This city is in the ;rasp of a tropical hurricane, which as unroofed many buildings, blown iown hundreds of trees, and complete iy paralyzed the telephone and tele graph lines. Yiany lighters and other small craft iiave been driven ashore or swamped, but i o far no loss of life has been re ported. n .i . j. remenaous rains nave accompa nied the storm. The streets are flood ed, and the basements of hundreds of hundreds of houses are filled with wa ter. The storm showed no signs of abating until nine o'clock. All the newspaper plants were so crippled by the storm that no papers were pub lished today. No steamers arrived today, though boats of the Ward Line and Plant Line, as well as ste&mera from New York, were due. A destructive hurrican was centered from fifty to seventy-five miles west of Key West yesterday, according to ad vices received by Weather Bureau. Hurricane warnings were sent to all ports in Flprida and along the coast as far north as Charleston. Emergency warnings were sent also to interior points in Florida, as it was believed that the hurricane would pass oyer that state on its way north ward, Later advices to the bureau report ed the remarkable low barometric rec ord at Key West of 28.94. 'The hurricane is of unusual inten sity," said Professor Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau, yesterday after noon, "It probably will prove greatly destructive of life and property. The bureau is doing its best to warn the inhabitants of Florida, not only on the coast, but in the interior as welli as coast points immediately north of that state. It is hoped that by means of this warning the effects of the storm may be reduced. 1!HJ2 tKtOLK $ SOUTHERN. Capitalists 'and Railroad Men Inspect Holdings Sale Tomorrow. Beaufort, N. C, Oct. 7.

Wilmington, N. C, Oct. IS.Scores of patriotic women from various parts of the State who ara hei-e to a.t. aid the thirteenth annual convention of the North Carolina Division cf the United Daughters of V. e Confederacy, which convenes this morning, receiv ed last night a big, hearty and sincere welcome to the hearts and homes of the people of Wilmington at a largely attended meeting in the commanaery room of the Masonic Temple. The room was elaborately decorated with Confederate and North Carolina flags, bunting, sniilax and gray moss, and it is indeed doubtful if the room ever" presented a more beautiful and inspiring appearance. Never before, perhaps, has there been within the walls of that room., which has been the scene of many gatherings, an as semblage so representative of the Southern womanhood. The exercises began shortly after nine o'clock with the singing of the "Old North State" by the audience standing. At the conclusion of the song Col. Walker Taylor announced that in behalf of the City of Wilming ton, Capt, Walter G. BacRae, mayor, would extend a welcome to the visit ing Daughters, Mayor MacRae was at his best, and he completely won the audience. He was frequently applauded and when he referred to the' noble and grand work of the Daughters in the marvel ous progress of the South, the voice of the speaker was drowned by the applause of the audience. In behalf of Cape Fear Chapter U. D. C, Mrs. W. M. Parsley, the beloved president, welcomed the visitors in her usual charming manner. The response was by Mrs. I. W. Fai- son, ot unariotte, president or ice State convention, who is well known and has a wide circlo of friends in Wilmington. The Randolph A. Shotwell portrait was presented by Col. Walker Taylor, and the local chapter could not have made a more happy selection for spokesman. Colonel 1 aylor made a splendid address in his inimitably style and was given the closest at tention as his remarks were of his toric Interest. The portrait will be placed in the North Carolina room of the Confederate " museum in Rich mond. Va.,'at an early date. When the portrait was ; uncovered the audi ence arose and stood, for a few mo ments with, bowed heads. The portrait was accepted in behalf of the State convention by Mrs. En gene Little, of Wadesboro, State treas urer. Mrs. Little also spoke of the life and works of Mr. Shotwell and paid a beautiful tribute to him. Her remarks were highly interesting and j She was listened to attentively. , Mrs. ' Letta Johnston, of Charlotte, regent j of the North Carolina room of the Cenfederate mus.eura in Richmond, BackrMeana E. C. DeWitt & Co.. rhlwrn ni : want every man and woman who nave-the least suspicion that they xre afflicted with kidney and blad- . der diseases to at once write thenv and a trial box of these Pills will be sent free by return mail postpaid GIBSON & CO., GOLDSBORO, N. C. Va., received the portrait for the mu seum in a short but pleasing speech. The gathering then resolved itself in to an informal reception to the visit ors. Refreshments were served in an ante-room and an hour was most pleasantly spent. The convention proper will convene in tbe commandery room of the Ma sonic Temple at ten o'clock this morn ing with Mrs. I. W. Faison, the presi dent, presiding.' There' will probably, be more than a hundred delegates here for the opening session and many others are expected on the af ternoon and evening trains today. A recess will be taken at one o'clock and the Daughters will go to the Elks' Temple, where they will be entertained at luncheon by the Elks. Another business session will be held in the afternoon beginning at 2:30 o'clock. At 4:30 o'clock adjournment will be taken and the Daughters will -o to Market street dock, where they will board the steamer Wilmington for a delightful trip up the historic Tape Fear river, as the guests of Capt. John W. Harper. What promises to be the most elaborate and brilliant social event of the season will be the reception to the visitors in the Ma sonic ball room tonight, tendered by the local chapter. Some tickets have baen issued, but the entire clergy of ( the city is cordially invited to be pres ( ent. The members of the Cape Fear Camp, United Confederate "Veterans, have been invited to attend the re- e;:tion and ti e commander expects V:p. members having uniforms to wear :n session until Friday.
