NHAB1TANTS OF FORT DE WILD RUSH FHANCE IN To Leave Island's Dangtrs, Fearing to be Overtaken by Same Fate as De struction of Martinique City Liter tlly Bombarded by Mount Pelee Red Mot Stones and Roiling Mud and Lava Rained From the Clouds Lruption Worse Than That Which Overwhelmed St. Pierre Whole Island Seems Doomed. I'okt uk Ftc a si;e, MAiTi.Niyi;E, May 21. Another day of terror and panic; has uen spent by tn people of Mar tiniue. I hey fear a repetition of yester day's terrors, when for six hours Port lc France was literally bombarded by- Mount Pelee. Stones, many of them red hot, rained upon the city from the hjiHis. Houses were destroyed and tires started in many quarters. With the stones fell hot mud and ashes. l'he air wag so filled with volcanic lust that it was barely possible to ireathe. At times it seemed as if suffocation must be the fate of all who ould not ba taken on board the ships n t he harbor. Now that the people have had some time to think it oyer, they aree that the eruption was far worse than that of May H, when St. Pierre was de stroyed. For many hours the exnlo- sions were so heavy that it seemed as f the island would be shaken from its foundations. Down upon the ruins of St. Pierre fell pjreat boulders. ill red hot. that battered what was left of the unfortunate city beyond all semblance of its former self. Ashes fell in torrents, and the site of the ity resembles a threat gray plain. M A I KISII TO KSCAI'K. Thousands left Fort de France to ly. Some haveone into the moun tains, to almost certain starvation, referring that to the fate which would be theirs if the lava of Mount Peiee buried them in the ruins of the city. Others have jroue to nearby islands, there to depend upon the charity of strangers. Kvery ship in the harbor is con stantly crowded with those who would tlee at the next appearance of irreat danirer. Clustered about the ships are small boats filled with na tives, who r to be taken on board, lltindruds lindin"; it impossible to ob tain boats to take them out to the ships, swam out, risking their lives in the water to avoid the danger which fills them with more terrible dread. AMKKH'ANS HKAVK IN UA MS Kit. In the excitement time was found to give praise to Lieutenant McCor miek and the American otlicers and men under his command, who have never lont their presence of mind and are working bravely to save those who were unable to ave themselycs. l'he naval tug Potomac, which Lieu tenant McCormick commands, was ordered to run up the coast to make observations of Mount Pelee in erup tion. Just as on Monday, the ship was taken down under the volcano. where it remained until driven awa' by the How of lava, which reached far (nit into t he sea. Lieut. McCormick brought back a report that new fissures have iormen in the sides of Mount Pelee and from them lava Hows in broad streams. All alonir the shore near St. Pierre water is boiling, and such curtains of steam rise that a view of the land is ossii.le only when the wind blows with sullicient force to lift them for a few seconds. 1U.1STKKK1 SUIT'S PAINT. St. Pierre is described by Lieut. McCormick as driven into the earth. The city has been buried deeply under ashes, which constantly fall. The heat from the volcanj was so great and ttie Potomac went so close in shore that she returned with the paint on her sides blistered. On the way back from St. Pierre Lieutenant McCormick saw a crowd of men and women on the shore sig naling wildly for help. As many as possible eie taken on board and brought to Fort de France. Those thus rescued were almoet starved. Supplies were given to them and they were turned over to the relief com mittee. From all parts of the island not cut oil by the flow of lava refugees are coming into Fort de France. The mountain roads are tilled with panic stricken and starving natives. Ar riving here, their terrors do not de crease, and they are as anxious to press on to some safer place as they were to ret here. All the roads, are dotted with the dead, and many are reported to be dying, having fallen from weakness on the way. Liberal wacej are offered for rescuers to go out and assist those who have fallen, but the laborert are too full of fear to be tempted by any offer. TUK II KAY ENS SEEMKH AKIKK. The panic was greatest yesterday, when the sun rose, shining fainth' through a haze of ashes. The skies were tilled with rolling and whirling clouds that were fiery red. Many be lieved that ilamcs were about to fall upon them from the heavens, and the terror that ensued was pitiful. The spectacle was so appalling that the populace could not appreciate the sublimity of it. Quickly the treets were filled, soldiers and sailors mixing freely with the residents, all fright ened". They struggled to get to a place of safety, they knew not where. All believed that where they were was the greatest danger. Some cursed in their frenzy; others fell on their knees in the streets and sought pro tection from heaven. Few were able to refrain from tears. Then, when the panic subsided a little there was a general scramble for the mountains or the water fronts. When the Potomac started for St. Pierre the French cruiser Suchet went outside and made a tour of the island in the opposite direction. She passed St. Pierre but had no part in the work of rescue of the refugees who had been driven to the shore by the stream from the volcano. A steam launch from the cruiser Cincinnati picked up 100 pertons who were frautically struggling in the water and took them to the Suchet. Scores of otheri were taken to the Cincinnati and the Potomac. The small boats of the latter ship were out constantly, saving many who must otherwise have been drowned. This was a work of much danger, as the sea was as rough a if a hurricane was blowing. WAT Kit IS POLLL'TKD. Food is here in plenty for the pres ent, but great suffering has been caused by the lack of water. All the natural water supplies have been polluted by the lava, which has de veloped sulphtiric acid. Water it be ing doled out from the" ships, and word has been sent to nearby islsnds for a larger supply. CREED. HV M A It Y ASHLEY TOWNSEND. I believe if I should die.

THE LOCAL PAPER. Not to be Idly Ignored as is too Often the Case. New Peine Journal. To go away from home to learn the news, is especially applicable to many persons in every community, who either do not subscribe, or too hastily read their local newspaper. The non-subscriber of the local paper, if not a borrower, is as igno rant of the real conditions of his or her community, as though they lived in another place. They may imagine they know through neighborhood gossip, but this information is as skim milk it to cream, compared to what is actually ; taking place. j The non-subscriber must go about j with distended ears, and a mouth as an interrogation point, in order to father meagre news, while the real material, social and educational affairs, take place and pass away without the non-subscriber having a faint knowledge of them. The hasty reader of the local paper, rarely appreciates it as it sheuld be, for with a quick glance the paper is scanned when articles of importance are not seen, and the subscriber may see the same weeks afterward in an outside paper, 3nd give the same credit for what appeared first in his own paper. The local paper may be small but it is the most important industry in the communitv, and as its home pat rons do it justice, through a liberal support and encouragement of every kind, so will its importance as a factor for community development increase. The community which idly ignores its local newspaper will have neither development or prosptrity to amount to anvthing. Like a Drowning Man. "Five years ago a disease the doctors called dyspejisia took such hold of me that I could scarcely go,"' writes Geo. S. Marsh, well known attorney of Nocona, Tex. "I took quantities ot pepsin and other medi cines bat nothing helped me. As a drown ing man grabs at a straw I grabbed at Kodol. I felt an improvement at once and after taking a few bottles am sound and well." Kodol is the only preparation which exactly reproduces the natural digestive juices and consequently is the only one which digests any good food and cures any form of stomach trouble. W. W. Parker.

The tobacco farmer this year has practically only himself to" look to for good results from hi tobacco crop. That its, with careful planting, favorable weather for growing and attention given to the tobacco's culti- tion, to end with special attention. in curing, the matter of good prices and demand for the tobacco need not enter'in as a disturbing factor in th tobacco farmer calculations. The fear of a tobacco trust, of a singl trust which can dictate the amount of tobacco to be bought of the farmr, and thus name the price at which the farmer must sell, is ab sent this year. The Amrican Tobacco Company this year has a rival in the North Carolina tobacco market in the shape of the Imperial Tobacco Company, an English concern, which prooses to be a keen competitor for the raw product grown by the tobacco farmer. The fact of the American and Eng lish Tobacco Companies lighting in the market over the consumer, who is to buy their finished product, is not so important in its benefit ?, as is this contest of these companies over the raw product which means every thing to the tobacco farmer. When as sellers, it is understood that these companies are selling cigarettes and smoking tobacco manu factured from the American product in countries which a fw years ago knew nothing of these sroods, and that Virginia and the Carolinas fur nish seven tenthsof this raw product, the importance of the situation is seen. With a good tobacco crop this year it means that the established tobacco markets will handle increased amounts of the raw product. And with the competition of these two companies, with their buyers in every market, it means that the farmer raising tobacco will find a ready market for his tobacco, and realize better prices for it than he has received in manv vears.

WARNINGS NOT HEEDED. Savs the Kaleigh Times: For ten days Ml. Pelee had been warning the inhabitants of St. Pierre of impending danger. The mountain had been in a state of eruption and ominous growls were heard from the gigantic mass. Ten days was abund ant time for the people of St. Pierre to have escaped to a place of safety: they remained about their work and with a light heart awaited the awful moment when the mountain should rend its sides carrying death and de struction to the valley beneath. The warnings were not heeded, yet who can blame them? Do we not have daily warnings in our lives which are ignored as completely as the citizens of St. Pierre did the roaring of Mt. Pelee? ATWATER AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE Will Run for Congress Against Pou, Who It is Presumed Will be the Democratic Nominee. l'ittsboro ltfcord. Hon. John Y. Atwater has an nounced himself as an independent candidate for Congress, and, of course, his onlv hope of success is the solid support of the Republicans with such of the Democrats as may wish to disorganize their party. In that hope he is certain to be disappointed. The excuse given by him for his candidacy is that ho deserved but did not receive the Democratic nomina tion two vears a;o. So that, havinjr been defeated in a Democratic con vention he now appeals for vindica tion to the Republicans! When Mr. Atwater professed is 1900 to be as true a Democrat as any bodv, and as such sought the Demo cratic nomination, he received the loyal support of this writer and near ly all the Chatham delegates, who voted for him for orer a hundred bal lots. His opponents in that conven tion insisted that he was not a true and sincere Democrat, and, although this was denied by his friends, a majority of the convention believed it and on tbat ground defeated him. And now by his candidacy he con firms the wisdom of that convention, justifies the charges ff his opponents and put to shame his friends who vouched for his loyalty! Of course if Mr." Atwater had been nominated in 190') he would not now be an independent candidate, but would again be seeking a renomina tion and would denounce anybody who might run as an independent against the nominee of his party. Hv his candidacy now he is asking the Democrats of this district to treat Mr. Pou just as he blames them for treating hira in 1900. He claimed then that he ought to be nominated because he had served faithfully one term, and yet now opposes Hon. E. V. Pou who is serving his first term with such honor to himself and to his State. If it was wrong, as Mr. At water claims, for the Democrats not to nominate him in 1900, it is cer tainly just as wrong for them now not to nominate Mr. Pou, and two wrongs cannot make a right.

An Event Concerning Which Many Incorrect Statements Have Been Made The Popular Understanding of the Incident Erroneousand Does Gross Injustice to Jefferson Davis The True Facts as Given in A Con stitutional View of the Late War Between the States," by Alexander H. Stephens. Baltimore Sun. It is strange that men like Col. Henry Watterson and Senator Till man should publicly make inaccurate statements about the celebrated Hampton Roads Peace Conference, held toward the close of the Civil War, when the truth is so easily ac cessible. It is also strange that Sen ator Vest should have relied upon verbal statements to sustain his ac count of the afTair which he gave the other day in the United States Senate, when all the ollicial documents of the conference have been published and are in every library- In addition to this there is the report of the Confed erate Commission and accounts of the meeting of the two chief partici pants, namely President Lincoln and Mr. Alexander II Stephens. Not withstanding the fact that Senator Vest relied upon his memory of the event gathered in conversations with Mr. Stephens and Mr. R. M. T. Hun ter, the interesting recital of the story by him in the Senate seems to be accurately correct. The popular understanding of the incident is al ways erroneous and does gro9 injus tice to Jefferson Davis. A most in teresting history of the conference ap pears in "A Constitutional View of the Eate War Retween the States," by Alexander II. Stephens. A briefer and a documentary account was given by President Lincoln in a special message to the House of Representa tives in February, 18C.". According to Mr. Stephens, early in January, 1SG5, Mr. Francis P. Ulair, Sr., whom Mr. Stephens styles "the master spirit, the real Warwiek of tbe party then in power in Wash ington,11 mysteriously appeared in Richmond. His arrival created a sen sation, hut he came and went, and came and went again, aud no one but the President of the Confederacy knew the object of the visit. Out of this visit the Hampton Roads Conference originated. Mr. Blair suggested to Mr. Davis a course by which a sus pension of hostilities could be reached. This was to be done by a secret mili tary convention between the North and South, embracing another object, which was the maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine, in the prevention of the establishment of the then pro jected empire in Mexico by France. Mr. Blair's opinion was that at such a convention an agreement between the North and South could be reached by which the Union could be restored upon terms satisfactory to the South. After Mr. Blair's departure from Richmond Mr. Davis sent for Mr. Stephens and consulted him. The latter was anxious for Davis and Lincoln to have a personal confer ence, but Mr. Davis would not enter tain this. Instead he sent the com missioners, A. II. Stephens, R. M. T. Hunter and Judge John A. Campell. At this time (eneral Grant1 head quarters were at City Point, near Petersburg. On January 29th the Commissioners went to Petersburg. From there they wrote to General Grant asking permission t pass his lines. Grant replied promptly, in viting them to big headiiuarters to await instructions from Washington. They had to wait two days, and dur ing that time they were hospitably entertained on one of the dispatch boats. They were impressed with the anxiety of General Grant for peace. Finally a reply came from Mr. Lincoln fixing Hampton Roads as j the place for the Conference, and the j Secretary of State, Mr. Seward, web ; sent down to meet the Commission , ers. After his departure Mr. Stanton received a dispatch from General : Grant saying that he regretted Mr. Lincoln could not meet the Com mi s '; fcionerg in person, as "their inten j lions are good and their desire sin i cere to restore peace and union." i This dispatch changed Mr. Lincoln's ' purpose and he set out at : Fort Monroe, and on the ' February 2nd he reached j Roads. The next day he j the Corumisbioners on his ones for night of Hampton received tean;sr. i Mr. Lincoln informed them that to end the war three things were indie K:nsab!e: First The restoration of the Na tional authority throughout all the States. Second No recediug by the Execu tive of the United States on the slavery question from the position assumed thereon in the late annual message to Congress, and in the pie ceeding documents. Third No cessation of hostilities short of an end of the war and the disbanding of all tbe forces hostile to the Government. All propositions of theirs, he informed the Commission ers, not inconsistent with these would be considered and passed upon in & spirit of extreme liberality. Mr. Stephens hinted at Mr. Blair's plan, but Mr. Lincoln said tbat Mr. Blair had no authority for making any such suggestion. The discus sion lasted four hours, but as the Commission understood tbat Mr. Lincoln's ultimatum was for a prac tically unconditional surrender, and they bad no authority to treat upon snch terms, tbe conference ended without results. The account of Mr. Stephens of the whole discussion is full and most interesting, and the in cident is one of the most notable and one of the most misunderstood of the Civil War.
