My resigna tion was no surprise to the board, for they were fully aware of my determi nation in the event of Mr. Kennett's appointment. No advan:age was taken or tried to be taken of the board.

Enormous Shipments of Vegetables and Poultry From Mt. Airy. Traffic on that division of the Atlan tic v5c ia"kin road between Greens boro and Mt. Airy is heavier than it has been for several years.

Airy seems to have been much larger than in former years and scores of crates "of the vegetables are being shipped through Gieensboro every day. These, with the usual shipments of poultry and apples and other pro duce I as made it necessary for the Southern to add another car for ex press and freight car for this purpose has been a part of the southbound A. & Y trains for several days Many of th" cabbage and apples are shipped to South Carolina.

PICQUAKT'S CLIMAX. Rennes, August 18 Picquart today ex. eeded yesterday's effort and made some fine points A climax was reached when Picquart, with sensa tional effect, slid "I am convinced thatC terhazy is the guilty man." trench Pronunciation. Joining a party of men standing on the streets, one not infrequently hods them discussing the meaniug or pro nunciation of 'certain French words which they have sesn in the cabled re ports of the Dreyfus trial. After a brief study i.f his French dictionary any person may feel perfectly saf in betting that his unin ormcd fellowman will go wide of the mark in an attempt to pronounce even a very common French word. For instance: Judge W. P. Bynum, Jr , today asked for guesses on the pronuncia tion of "Rennes." After half a dozen guesses had been made he modestly stated that it was pron unced "ren." No authority for the pronunciation of "Dreyfus" could be given. Building Notes. Bricklaying on Groome Brothers' rew store building on lower South Elm street was begun yesterday. Con tractor N.

THE ANTI-GOEBEL FACTION In Kentucky Nominates a Strong State Ticket. SOUTHERN BUSINESS OUTLOOK Is Very Good Tlic Crops Are Abun dant, Although In Some Sec tions Damaged By Rain. Special to the Tki.kuuam. Washington, Aueust 18 The State t'eket which has just been nominated by the anti-Goebel faction of the dem ocracy in Kentucky is generally re garded here by people from that State as a strong one. But very few Ken tucky people, outside of the executive departments are now in the city, so far as could be ascertained noneof the State delegation being in Washington. Among those who are here is Judge Fl ming. He had, however, but little to say in regard to the situation ex cepting to say that there is no use of the Goebel people denying thestrength of ex-Governor Brown in the State, whom he believes will draw a large vote from the regular ' ticket. Major Johnson, who has been named for lieutenant governor, it is said will add strength to the bolter's ticket. For some time there have been per sistent rumors in Wash'ngt n among Kentucky people 'hat influence would be brought to bear upon Goebel and the remainder of the regular ticket to wi hdraw, and to allow another demo cratic State convention to ba held. It is tho belief of many of the Kentucky people who have been seen that the proposition of Governor Brown to this end, made in the convention which nominated him, will be put in some tangible shape, and submi ted to Col. Goebel, and his followers. While it is not known at Washington what tl.e chances for a compromise are upon this basis, the belief is strong among those here that this would afford a solution of the difficulty existing in theianks of the democracy of the State, and would prevent the election of a republican governor, and the pes sible defeat of the democrdticelectoral ticket next year. Republicans frcm Kentucky, of course, take much inte- ent in the situation, and among them the belief is that both Goebel and Brown will st'ck to the end, and will allow the troub'e to be settled at the polls. The name rf Representative Bank head of Alabama, has been promi nently connected with the recent con ference held at Saratoga. Mr. Bank head stated positively the other day that he was not present at the meeting there, and has not attended any anti Bryan conferences. He is of the opin ion that Col Bryan will be renomina ted by the Democratic National con vention next year, and he says that Alabama will ser d a solid delegation pledged to his support. Mr. Bankhead says that the business outlook in the Southern States is very good. There have been abu idant crops he says, in all of the Gulf States, although in some sections much damage has been done by the heavy rains. On the whole, however, he says that the southern farmer is pros-perous'-and happy. Fepresentative Bankhead has been in Congress for twelve consecutive years. His friends regard him as ful ly equipped for the duties as leader of the party on the floor. Hon. William A. Little, of Freder ickfburg, formerly a member of the Virginia state senate, is in the city for a few deys on personal business. Mr Little will be a candidate for the dem ocratic nomination for congress in the first Virginia di trict next year to succeed Hon. Wm. Jones, who has represented the district in the lower house of congress so long. Mr. Little is an advocate of the re-election of Senator Martin, and believes that his election is assured. The effort being made to cast slurs upon the record of Senator Martin, Mr. Little does not believe will be successful, and he thinks it will reac in favor of the sen ator. An anti-trust meeting was held in this city last night, which was quite 1 rgely attended. Among the speak ers wl o took part were Judge Flem ing, of Kentucky, and Attorney Groot, of Ohio. Miss Portia Sp- ague, a daughter of the late Mrs. Kate Chase Pprague, and a granddaughter of the late Sal mon P. Chase, has been 'appointed, to a $1,200 clerkship in the treasury de partment Miss Sprague made the application since the death of her mother. The family was left poor, and she has a sister dependent upon her. She passed a very creditable ex amination, and also a supplimectal examination in French and German. The position is said to be a temporary one. Oliver J. Sands, bank examiner for Virginia and the District of Columbia has resigned and will enter Into busi ness at Richmond, Va. His successor will not be appointed until Comp troller Dawes returns to Washington from bis vacation. Mrs. E. D. Crane and daughter, of Charlotte, N. C, are visiting in the city. A 1 oi.g North Carolina people in the city are Mr. E. R. Palamountaine, and family, of Charlotte, who are at the St. James hotel. V. H. Boyden, of Raleigh, and H. A. Guf'ger, of Asheville, are in the city. The former 1b stopping at the Metropolitan hotel, and the latter at National. THE STORM ON OUR COAST. It Produced the Highest Tides Known in Twenty Years. The Messenger representatiye re mained at Wrightsville Beach nntil 3:45 p. m , and witnessed the highest tide ever known on the beach, even exceeding the great storm of 1893. At 11 a. m. when he reached the beach the tide was coming in and the wind was blowing from the north at about twenty-five miles velocity, causing a very heavy surf. If the wind had come from the ocean instead of from the shore, the ocean and Wrightsville sound would have united and not a hotel or cottage would hive been left. According to the hydrographic almanac the tide should have been high at 2:30 p m , but it continued to roll in till 4 p m. It was consequently the highest tide in the history of the beach within the memory of people who have spent the past ten years there and within the re membrance of the Messenger scribe who was on hand and witnessed the great storm of 1893. In 1893 the wind was coming from the sea and the ocean and sound were rougher than Tuesday. Yesterday with the wind coming in with the tide, the beach would have been wiped out. On the contrary and very luckily it was against the tide and braced the break ers. As it was the railroad track in many places was all that kept the ocean and sound from mixing. From the bank's channel to Wrightsville the sound was a vast sheet of water with no marsh grass to be seen. When the 3:45 p. m. train left for the city the water in Banks' Channel and in the sound between the Hammocks and WrigLtsville was within four feet of the truck across the trestle. The only damage done by this high tide was the washiug away of several gangways, if we except the little one room shanty which stood on the beach between the old O.ean View hotel and the Hewlett house. The surf undermined the shanty and broke it to pieces. It belonged to the Ocean View Company, and was occupied by A. A. Nahan's servant girl. After the housa dropped into the surf several men got into it and saved a bedstead, several chairs and most of the occupant's effects. In one or two places the swash of the surf glided across the beach into the sound. At Wrightsville the road on the dam between Wrightsville and Summer Rest was several inches under water. Wil mington Messenger. The Secret Dossier. By means which we need not now specify we have managed to learn the contents of the secret dossier in the Dreyfus case, says the Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
