Admiral 'TLojestvensky sticks to his original-story that his fleet was attack ed in the German ocean by two Japa nese torpedo boats. In a second state ment, made to the correspondent of The -London Chronicle, he said that his vessels were fired on by the enemy's. He now claims that six shots hit the Russian ships and that one of them the Aurora, was injured and has not yet been repaired. This warship, he says, threw out her search, light and signaled to the fleet. "Two float ing mines near here." Two men on the flagship, according to his statement, we're wounded. The London 'Chronicle suggests that probably the Russians hit their own vessels. If they were -hit at all it must have been as The iChronicle suggests. Af naval officer who cannot tell the difference between a torpedo boat and a fishing trawler or 'between a floating mine and a fish net can hardly be considered very good authority on any matters pertaining to naval warfare. These Russian officers, we suppose, will stick to their absurd story that their vessels were attacked by two torpedo boats. This statement has increased the indignation of the people of iGreat 'Britain. They look upon it as casting serious reflections upon the integrity of their nation; for they say no Japanese warships could have been in that locality without the knowledge X. of the public officials! Therefore such a statement implies that the British were secretly violating their country's neutrality and giving important coun tenance and aid to (Russia's enemies. Up to last Thursday it looked very much like war between Russia and 'Great Britain. The delay in the re port of the Russian admiral who had put into Vigo, Spain, with' his fleet only intensified the feeling among the British. His report, when it did come, x3id not mend matters, for the British looked upon it as an insult to their nation. This hostile feeling has been greatly allayed by the agreement of the two governments to refer the matter 10 ar bitration by The Hague tribunal and thus the prospects of war have been averted. iBut what will the resu't be if the officers of the Russian fleet en gaged in the supporsed battle insist in their testimony taken for the consid eration of that tribunal upon the truth of their first statement and still. declara that there were two Japanese warships hidden among the (British fishing boats and attacked their warships from that position? 'High (British officials declare suoh a statement an insult to their people. If the Russians insist on mak ing this statement and, as justification of their conduct, repeat it under the so. lemnity of a legal inquiry into the oc currence new and fully as serious complications may arise. The British will be compelled ,to attack the vexaci ty of those Russian naval officers or admit that she was secretly aiding the (Japanese while pretending to be entire ly neutral the Tery thing .that she HAD TO HIDE IT A mother wrote us recently that she had to keep Scott's Emulsion under lock and key her children used to drink it whenever her back was turned. Strange that children should like something that is so good for them. It's usu ally the other way. Scott's Emulsion makes children comfortable, makes them fat and rosy-cheeked. Perhaps that's. . why they like it so much they know it makes them feel good. . We'll send you a sample, free SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl Street, New York. now declares an insult when charged by .these officers. We hope war can be averted through the reference of this matter to the tri bunal of The Hague, but we have our doubts about this procedure doing more than postponing; the inevitable clash between those two powers. The eastern question can hardly be settled finally before these two nations have come to war over it. I ! THE SOUTH S COTTON INDUSTRY. The Manufacturers' Record is not one of those papers which believes in the south acting upon the assumption that tAfrica cannot grow cotton. It re fers to the attempt of the IBritish Cot- ton 'Growers' 'Association, backed by 1 the government, to ' produce cotton in Africa on such a scale as to take from the south her supremacy in this indus try. It rightly says the south should not permit its domination of the world's cotton trade endangered. i There is no doubt that we have the possibilities here at the south to enable us to maintin our present -position. rWhat is necessary for us to do is to make those possibilities realities and to 1 prevent the establishment of success- i . r ful rivalry in the fields of Africa. To do this we must convince the "British spinners that we will I'be able to sup- ply the world's demand, no matter how i ! greatly that demand may be increased. If we do not bestir ourselves, but let the iBritish continue their experiments on the gigantic scale contemplated by the iBritish Cotton Growers' Association we may at some day in the no distint future ifind that (Africa can grow cot ton and find it so to our sorrow, too. The Manufacturers' ;Ttecord says on this subject: Many of the leading -southern papers on iSunday last published a syndicate letter of several columns, written from London, dealing with the effort of the IBritish Cotton Growers' Association to develop cotton growing! in Africa. This letter, written in a vein of enthusias tic commendation of the work which is being done by England cotton manu facturers to free themselves from de pendence upon the south for cotton, claims that the British (Cotton Growers' Association has secured 60,000,000 acres of land in Africa, and that the work of development for cotton growing will be pushed with great vigor. It is a rather interesting fact that while many southern papers published this letter as a piece of news, none of them, so far as we have yet seen, pointed to the fact that, backed as this movement is by the power of the British, govern ment, it mayin time be successful in lessening the south's supremacy upon the world's cotton trade unless we pre pare to meet the issue. The boast of the south for 100 years, that it! domi nated the cotton producing interests of the world is now met by an effort greater than any -that lias been put forth in times past to; destroy our su premacy, and though many high ex perts have claimed that the south will forever dominate the cotton trade, it is not wise to ignore the possibility of competition. It was in the light of these facts that The Manufacturers Record suggested that the cotton spn ners of 'Europe be invited to come, south and study the cotton growing capabili ties of this section in order that their interest in the development of cotton growing in the south might be enlisted, xather than see them concentrate their efforts upon the development of cot ton growing in Africa! and elsewhere. "Why should the south permit its domi nation of the world's cotton trade to be endangered, When-by a j united effort of the railroads and the! people of the south the attention of the world; could be concentrated upon the possibilities of turning immigration! southward and thus furnishing a labor supply! suffi cient to increase our cotton cropas rap idly as the world's requirements may demand, and the world's consumption of cotton goods will increase far more rapidly in the future than in the past. Bearing on this point we publish th& invitation of the New j Orleans cotton exchange, as voiced in a letter to the (Progressive Union of .that city, invit ing the cotton manufacturers of the world to visit New Orleans, and in line with invitations from ther points in' the, south. I Those who win on November 8th will enjoy Thanksgiving- Those who lose can try to get some consolation out of it.. . 1 An exchange says that Chicago has a monkey that gets drunk. The Rus sians should secure him for one of their Baltic fleet warships. i Judge Parker's words of confidence and encouragement should prompt every democrat to greater exertion and determination to do his whole duty . during the remaining campaign. We cannot days of the expect to win the victory without hard work. The Manufacturers' Record has com menced the publication! of a series of letters covering the industrial and financial development of the New Eng land states, "as an inspiration to the south," it says. The first number was in the issue of the 20th jand the second, appeared last week. ! j "We are glad to see from Charity and Children that the situation at the Thomasville orphanage shows consid erable improvement compared ! with that of a week or ten days ago-.! It is remarkable and a cause of congratula tion to the managers that the fatalities were so few only two deaths, we be lieve, out of sixty-five cases The Bap tists of the state have subscribed lib erally to the emergency fund raised for fighting the epidemic and for the comfort of the little ones who .were stricken with the dread disease- We seldom j fear a danger that we cannot see. The danger of being run-down by a horse is a very real" one to every body, the danger of being mur dered by a microbe does not" trouble us. And yet the minute mi crobe is more dangerous than the wildest horse. The only people who can afford not to fear the mi crobes of disease are those who keep their blood pure and rich. These are prac tically immune from the attacks of most microbes. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery purifies and enriches the blood, and gives the body a vigorous vitality. It cures scrofula, eczema, boils, pimples and other eruptive diseases which are caused by impure blood. I had been troubled for about four years with eczema, or a skin disease, which at times was almost unbearable as it would itch so," writes Mr. John Iarison, of 115 Powhattan St, Dallas, Texas. I concluded to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and after using five bottles found that I was entirely cured. Please accept many thanks." ' Accept no substitute for " Golden Med ical Discovery." There is nothing " just as good" for diseases of the blood. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con stipation and its consequences. If you have failed to put your name on your ward or precinct registration book you need not take the trouble to go to the polls Tuesday of next week. You can't vote in this election. Judge Parker is making the republi cans squirm with those front porch speeches. He is telling the country some plain truths truths that the re publicans cannot get arouni and charges that they cannot answer Senator and ex-Attorney General Knox is surprised at Judge Parker's boldness in his declarations against the trusts. He cannot understand how a candidate for an important of fice would dare to say things calcu lated to arouse the anger and tostility of the big combines. The railroad senator is judging Judge Parker by himself. Russia's only defense before The Hague tribunal for having fi?ed on the British fishing boats will e con tention for the existence of a state of facts, to charge which Premier Bal four says is an insult to Great 'Britain. How then can this court settle amica bly the present misunderstanding? We have no idea Russia can prove her al legation as to the presence of Japanese warships. The Staats Zeitung reports the gen eral opinion among German naval officers to be that vodka more than anything else was reponsible for the attack on the British fishing vessels by the Russian warships. The Hull correspondent of the London Times calls attention to the fact that the first squadron of the fleet 'passed the boats without paying any attention to them, evidently knowing what they were. Nobody contends that it is possible to buy a nation. This is what some northern papers have to say in refer ence to the charges brought against the republican managers for an illegal use of money, to carry the approach ing: election. It is true a whole nation cannot be bought, but it is equally true that it is not necessary to do such a thing, in order to accomplish the mat ter in hand. The vote of a few states will decide the matter. The buying of them is all that is necssary. Raleigh Times. Not only the vote of a few states may decide the election of president, but only a small number of votes in a few states may do so It is stated that a change of twenty-five thousand votes "judiciously placed" would have elected Mr. Cleveland in 1888. There seems to be more enthusiasm among the North Carolina democrats in those counties which a few years ago were populist strongholds than in other sections of the state- Populism apparently has run its course in this state, if the country people will oniy take interest enough in the election to go to the polls on the day Mr. Glenn's and Mr. Parker's majorities will be tremendous. All democrats should take this much interest in their party. No man should refrain from voting just because there "will be enough ballots to elect without his. Every man should want his party to get as largQ a vote as possible in his town and county 4f for no other purpose, that it may se cure proper representation in the dis- tict and state conventions two and four years' hence. This representation will be based on the vote cast for Mr. Glenn. Pill Pleasure. If you ever took De Witt's Little Ear ly Risers for biliousness or constipa tion you konw what pill pleasure is.

"PARK DAY" IX GOLDSBORO. Celebration on Tuesday that trill be Very Generally Participated in The Political Situation. CSpecial to The Messenger.) Goldsboro, N. C, October 28. The first of November, which will fall on Tuesday of next week is known as, "Park Day" in Goldsboro, and has come to be observed by our public spir ited citizens with a general closing of business houses in the afternoon, a public parade and exerc'ses whicn include speech making and mu sic at the partk. The day was estab lish by, and the exercises are conduct ed under the auspices of the Goldsboro Woman's Club, an organization that has accomplished for the physical 'beauty and intellectual development of our city and section more than can bo recounted or estimated within the brier compass of this short story. Through the philanthropic efforts of Messrs. H. Weil & Bros., who donated the land and made considerable improvements to it, Goldsboro now has one of the prettiest little parks in the south and the same progressive public spirit that established and nurtures it has mado iGoldsboro what it is and will make the observance of Park Day next Tuesday all that it should be. There is little change in the political aspect of the county. Occasionally some man who has been put on the Republican ticket without his knowi-r edge or consent announces his with drawal from the ticket.' Both sets of candidates are hard at work canvass ing the county. The only hopeful siga that the Republicans have is that larg er crowds are going out to hear their candidates than on previous years. So far there has been no disturbance at any of the meetings and there is much less bitter feeling between those of opposite political views. The reactionaries seem to have the Chinese imperial government under their thumb. Old Tsi An was never anything else at heart and her domi nation remains unbroken.
