There has been no public movenv nt undertaken In Greensboro wtieh will yield larger return in prosperity than Mr. Wharton's p'an for macadamiz ing 43 dies of the public roads lead ing1 into Greensboro. It Is sure to re sult in increased values both for (he county and the city. Such roads will enhance the value of every farm in reach of them and of every foot of land in the city into which they lead. Such reads will bring increased busi ness .to every business establishment in Greensboro. Such roads will do more to induce immigration than all other agencies combined, And the Greensboro Industrial and Immigra tion Association can make no better investment than a liberal o ntrlbutlon to this cause. Mr. Ceasar Cone has set the pace of pubjic spirit by the generous prop osition to contribute $4,000 of the nec essary 120,000.- We desire to follow his 1-iad in liberality aad public spirit, and agree to contribute $1,000 to tihs fund when the necessary $20,000 has been subscribed, and we believe we will get larger returns from it than fiom any investment we have ever made. Southern Loan & Trust Co., by A. W. McAllster, Vice Pres BADLY NEEDED. A Barber Shop with a Public Bath Room Attached. We have here in Greensboro some good barbers. No trouble to get a good smooth or close shave; but at the approach of the warm weather season especially, do we hear com plaiLts frtm travelling men aid Gran gers in the city, on account of not be ing able to get a good bath. The fact of the business is there is not a public bath room in town This is a pointer to some of our enterprising barbers- There is a good profit in the buslress and there is no question about the de mand. There Is hardly a place in the whole oountry the size of Greensboro that hasn't a place where the tired and dusty traveler can go and get a good 'rub down" without being invited into some friend's private bath room- We have heard several complaints along this line in the last twenty-four hours. Who will supply this want ? We Have It Number 25. The Telegram office is adorned with a telephone a genuine oak case, long dis'ance, double jointed, electrical, step-saving talking machine and we are proud of it. Since the removal of the Telegram office, about a month ago Manager McAdoo has been unable to put in more 'phones on account of the installation of a cable line and the Telegram was one of the many who were crowded out. But we got ours this morning and were irformed that all the orders will oon be fi led. The Telegram's number is 25 for the preseDt, at lea-t ra! us up when ycu harc ai u.; AdrDirhi a Pt.: t:o t.

Thus Says The Latest Reports from Manila AGUINALDO SENDS A COMMISSION To Submit Peace Overtures to Gen eral Otls-CIothed With Power To Act Reports Believed. By Wire to Thi Tzlbgrax. St. Louis, May 18 A Globe-Democrat special cable from Manila, says: "It is reported here th'at Aguinaldo has decided to accept the terms of peace which have been offered by the American Philippine Commission and that he has started representatives from San Isidro to Manila. It is said that be reached this decision at a con ference held at San Isidro the day be fore General Lawton's capture of the city and that the fighting took place after the decision was reached. The reports are believed bee and it is also believed that final peace is now as sured at an early date." i THE PEACE OVERTUIiES By Cable to the Tklbgham. Manila, May 18 Aguinaldo ha9 sent commissioners to GeneralOtis with the most significant peace overtures yet made by the rebel commander. It is understood here, that unlike the previous envoys these are clothed with full power to surrender all armed forces of Filipinos to the' American authorities. All former negotiations were rendered of no avail by the fact that the native delegates had no pow ers beyond those of learning the Amer ican terms and reporting back to the rebel congress. Aguinaldo and his cabinet, it is re ported, met at San Isidro before the Americans arrived there and decided to send a commission to accept tjie terms of General 'Otis'' proclamation. General Lawton was unaware of this when he advanced on the city. The Filipino leaders then retired -but the commission bearing -Aguinaldo's sub mission is expected toxorrow. CHINESE APPLY FOR RET .IFF. The Chinese consul has applied to General Otis for relief for his coun trymen, aDd says they are persecuted by the insurgents. He reports a thous and Chinamen captured at Daguipan and forced to work in the trenches while their property is confiscated. Kobes' column is hurrying toward Candaba. CABLE FROM OTIS. Bj Wire to Tns Tklbgram.

This force has decreased to two thousand five hundred. STILL WRECKING CARS. Street Car Strikers Making Trouble. Using Dynamite. By Wire to the Tklsgram. Duluth, May 18 The striking street car men wrecked another car with dy namite last night. The car was filled with smoke and the passengers were greatly terrified but unhurt. The shock from the explosion broke glass in buildings opposite the car and buildings five blocks away were shaken. An hour later a caj on Twen tieth avenue ea9t, was assaulted from both sides with ston s. Several panes of glass were broken. Paris Postoffice Strike. By Cable to Thb Telegram. Paris, May 18 Business at the post- office was at a standstill this morning owing to a general strike among the employes. Not a single postman was on duty and not a letter delivered in the city. The mails are lying in the postoffice unclassified and there is al ready disastrous stoppage to much business throughout the city. Preparing for War. By Cable to the Telegram Durban, South Africa, May 18 It is evident that President Kruger is preparing for a possible war with Eugland. Boer troops are mobilizing on the frontier, the greatest force be ing near Ladysmith, which is consid ered the most vulnerable point on the frontier. DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY. Their Next Meeting Will Be On the 19th of June. At the last meeting of the Daughters of the Confederacy, the time of meet ing was changed to the nineteenth day of the month, so there will be no meet ing until the 19th of June. On that day it will be held in the auditorium of the North Greensboro graded school which has been graciously tendered the ladles by Prof. Grimsley. THE PEACE CONFERENCE. Called By The Czar of Russia OpenjL This Afternoon. By Cable to The Txlegkak. The Hague, May 18 The peace con ference called by the Czar of Russia opened at two -'o'clock this afternoon in Hall Huls Ten Bosch, or the House in the Woods, two miles from the city M.

Washington, May 18 The president today sent tne follow. ng message to the Czar of Russia: "On this day of good omen I send heartfelt congratulations upon the opening of the conference at The Hague, which had its origin in the en lightened and generous initiative of your majesty. "(Signed) William McKlnley." FIVE WEEKS OF COURT. Special Term Opens Here Next non- day. Guilford' special term of court will open next Monday, with Judge Tim berlake, presiding. It is for the trial of civil cases only and will .continue two weeks, when the regular three weeks' term, will open, with Judge Bryan on the bench. This gives the county five successive weeks of court, the longest term in many years. The civil docket is full to running over and it is hoped that, between the two terms, it will be materially light ened. The Views Displayed. Considerably more than a year ago the Telegram had some photographic views of old and new roads made in the vicinity" of old Oak Ridge, where grading was being done by plans drawn by Civil Engineer Bandy. Thse views were displayed in this ci y and High Point and were the subject of much comment. Anent the interest now being taken in the "Good Roads Club" scheme of Mr. Wharton we again place the views .in the window of the City National Bank. Though a little weather-worn and soiled they show plainly the advantage of the new roads over the old. Take a look, at them. Where to Find It. Unlike most little afternoon sheets the Telegram prints news on all four of its pages. True, three of the pages have a goodly number of advertise ment on them, but th re is live read ing matter there, too. Our editorials are written here in the office, and whether they are full of spice or gin ger, they are origin il. There often, also, appears local matter on the in side pag- s. Read the paper all over if you care to see what is in it. You can't always find it on one or two pages Assault and Rubbery. Squire Pritchett tried two interesting ease yesterday afternoon both en titled: "State vs. John Lee. One for as sault and -battery, the other for rob bery. It was charged that Lee bru tally assaul'ed and robbed G. W. Carter near the western border of the city about a week ago. The amount secured was $26.00. The evidence in the case was damaging and .the defen dant was bound over tin bond of $300, in default of which he went to jail. "Letter Written by Andree. By Cable to The Tklsgbam. Leith, Scotland, May 18 The ship Viking brought a letter written -by Andree, the missing explorer, found in a bottle by a farmer early in April, near Rifetang, on the northeast coast of Ireland. The Utter is addressed to Polar Expedition, Sweeden, and bears Andree's own stamp. Five Girls Burned to Death. By Cble to The Tblbgham. Brunswick, Germany, May 18 A large warehouse of the Karstadt Co. was burqed last evening and five girls lost their lives in the flames. Several others were injured, one of whom has died since. Hanged for Complicity. By Wire to the Telegram. Norristown, May 18 James A. Clemmer was hanged here this morn ing for complicity in the murder of Emma P. Kaiser. The drop fell at 10:07. It is high time to get out of your heavy woollen underwear and into something cooler. You can buy light weight balbriggan shirts for 25c, 35c and 50c each at Thacker & Brock mann's, whole stilts 50c, 70v) and $1 00 each. These are all special values and worth looking into If you wart to keep cool and comfortable during the hot se 86on. List Your Taxes. The list-takers and .asressors for Morehead and Gilmer townships will be found at the mayor's up-town office, opposite court house, during the month of June to list your taxes, mltjto jl WILL CUT QUITE A FIGURE, Disposal of Patronage In Relation to the Speakership, COMMITTEES WITHOUT CHAIRMEN Several Very Important OnesThe Chances For Combinations In the Contest For Speaker. Special to The Telegram. Washington, D. C, May 18 It is likely that the disposal of committee patronage in the house of representa tives, will cut quite a figure in the con test for the speakership. In the house there will be a large number of im portant chairmanships to bestow, which become vacant by the retirement of the present chairmen. The com mittees which are left without chair man are as follows : Accounts; Aleoholic liquor traffic; banking and currency; claims; coin age of weights and measures; election No. 2; election No. 3; expenditures in public buildings; expenditures in state department; irrigation of arid lands; parents; enrolled bills and printiog. The retiring chairmen are: Oiell, of New Ycrk, Brewster, of New York; Walker, of Massachusetts; BVumm, of Pennsylvania; Charles W. Stone, of Pennsylvania, Royce, of Indiana; Walker, of Virginia; Colsoxi, ot Ken tucky; Quigg, of New York; Ellis, of Oregon; Hicks, of Pennsylvania; Hag er, of Iowa, and Perkins, of Iowa. Several of these committees are im portant ones, and there will likely be contests for the chairmanships. The most important committees b ing banking and curreno ; claims, coin age of weights and measures, and the two electlo ns committees . The ch ances for combinations in the contest for speaker, as will be .plainly observed , are many. In the house very few chairmanships will go to the Southern republicans. Id the last house, the south had but three, Walker, of Virginia, CoUon, of Kentucky, and Bartholdt, of Missouri. Walker and Colson were both defeat ed for re-election. It is not likely that the south will have more than one or two chairmanships. Bartholdt, will get his old committee back, and there is said to be a movement On foot to secure a chairmanship for Llnney, of North Carolina, who is now the ranking member on elections committee No. 1. It has been sug gested that Linney may be selected for the chairman of either elections com mittee No. 2, or No. 3. Next week the Maryland division, of veterans, will hold their annnal en campment in this city. On account of the large number of members of the organization who will take advantage of the low rsilroad rates offered for the peace jubilee, the indications point to the largest gathering at the encamp ment of any previous assemblage of this division. The Maryland division is composed of camps in Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, District of Colum bia, North and South Carolina. The sessions will begin Monday, the 22nd instant, and will continue for three days. The delegates will be enter tained at a banquet, and will visit Alexandria, Arlington, and other points of interest. They will also be guests of the general committee, of the peace jubilee at the fireworks display on monument lot, reserved seats hav ing been set aside for them. It is announced semi-officially, that on May 26th, or about that time, the Southern railway will inaugurate a through train service between Ashe- v)l:e, North Carolina, and Columbia and Charleston, South Carolina. If thi 8 information is true, it will be of great advantage to the two states and North and South Carolina, and it is said also indirectly of advantage to the traveling public in this section of ihe country. Mr. Eppa Hunton Jr., son of Ex- Senator Hunton, who was in the sen ate just before Mr. Mai tin, is in the city for a few days. In conversation Mr. Hunton is quoted as saying that the sentiment in his county is strongly for a convention to nominate Mr. Martin's successor. He thinks that it is not improbable that Chairman J. Taylor Ellyson, of the democratic state comm ttee, may call a meeting of the committee for the purpose of let ting the state committee take the re sponsibility of action. Postmaster Reed, of Newport News, Is in the city on business before the postoffice. He says that the business of the postoffice at Newport News is increasing rapidly, and he thinks that it is necessary for the postoffice de partment to establish three sub-stations. It is understood that Postmas ter Reed will make this request of the postoffice department officials. Representative Hepburn, of Iowa, is in the city, having just returned from a brief trip to Hot Springs, where he 1 saw President McKinley. Mr. Hep burn expresses the opinion that Hen derson will be chosen speaker. Special service in North Carolina has been discontinued at Dudo, Rich mond county, from Dockery's store, from May 22nd; and ' at Trust, Madi son county, from Springe reek. NOTES FROM HIGH POINT. The Local News From Our Neighbor Briefly Told. Telegram Bureau ) High Point, N. C, May 18. f Mrs. D. A. Stanton returned last nfght from Winston, where she visited relatives. Jesa Harrison, who has had charge of the High Point Upholstering Com pany business at Goldston.has closed it out and returned home last night. Mr. J. R. Ball, advertising the At lantic Hotel, Morehead City, spent last night at Jarreli's Hotel and left on the noon train for Winston. Mr. Ball tells us that there will be from 800 to 1,000 people there all the time this summer. Prof. Geo. H. Crowell, as we an nounced yesterday, visited the Greens boro Graded schools and reports' a very pleasant and profitable day. He has much to say about the dignity and deportment of both teachers and pupils, and especially the high type of work that is being done. Said he: "I had the pleasure of hearing and seeing work in all grades of the school, and was delighted to see this the great point in instruction emphasized, viz: Gettirg at tbeessentials "and not crowding the mind with that which is not worth retention." Prof. Grimsley is filled with enthusiasm for his work, a staunch advocate of public school education, and actually has the oldest and one of the best developed schools in North Carolina. What pleased me so much was this: I had never been in a graded school before, except our own, and I find with all the system method and deportment of the Greens boro schools our schools at High Point is following hard in her sister town's foot-prints." Yes we agree with Prof. Crowell in every sentiment herein uttered. High Point is proud of Greensboro and her schools. No county in the state offers greater edu cational advantages than Guilford, and certainly no county is blessed with finer public schoo's. New styles men's neckwear at Kauf mann's, under the Benbow.
