Esther Glass Loses Her Mind
and Will Be Taken to the State
Hospital.
. Greensboro. July 30.-There was a
meeting held here Friday night by par
ties interested in the telephoner busi
ness of the State independent of the
Southern Bell Telephone system.
While the proceedings were strictly
private, enough was given aut to show
that there were representatives of i,-
200 independent telephones actually
present, and fully 25,000 'phones were
represented by proxy. A regularly or
ganized association was detrained up
on, under the name of the "Idependent
Telephone Association of North Car
olina." Thi sorganization was per
fected by the election of the follow
ing officers:
* W. A. Wynne, of Raleigh, president,
and R. W. Learith, of Southern
Pines secretary and treasurer. *or
the executive committee the president,
ex-officio, was named as chairman with
the following as members: J. F. Hay
den, of High Point, J. D. Morns, of
Roxbury, and H. P. Grier, of States
ville.
The executive committe was in
structed to do certain work mapped for
it and to make its report at the next
meeting subject to the call of the pres
ident. This meeting, it is understood,
will be held in about thirty* (lays in
Greensboro, at which time action wiii
be taken on the report of the executive
committee.
Relatives of Miss Esther Glass, a
young woman who has been at Cleggs
hotel for a week in apparent hiding,
made application before Superior
Court Judge Nelson for papers com
mitting her to the asylum. Awaiting
the hearing the young lady was taken
to St. Leo's Hospital to be cared for,
as she was plainly mentally abberated.
Miss Glass, who is a nurse, was em
ployed at St. Leo's Hospital up to a
short time ago. when she secured a
situation in a Philadelphia hospital
and went there. When it was seen
that she was mentally unbalanced she
was sent back to Greensboro, but in
stead of going home she took rooms at
the hotel, where she remained until
members of the family learned that
she was there.
The young lady when brought before
the clerk, was, becomingly attired, and
seemed totally indifferent to her sur
roundings while Clerk Nelson was
hearing evidence in her case. But she
strenuously objected to being carried
to St. Leo's after the - result of the
investigation had been announced. It
is said that the young woman's sweet
heart was objected to by her parents,
and that she left home because he
could not visit her there.
Greensboro people are interested in
a cotton mill that is to be established
in Mt. Airy. A company is being form
ed with $75,000 capital, of which a
large part has been subscribed. A
large brick building formerly occupied
as a tobacco factory has been bought.
This, with unimportant changes, will
serve the purpose of a cotton mill.
Messrs. Lee H. Battle, and F. F. Wil
liamson are the principal promoters. A
number of Greensboro people have
taken stock in the enterprise.
At the Greensboro Table Company
factory, this morning, the elevated
water tank, holding 15,000 gallons of
water, collapsed and fell from its for
ty foot perch. Decayed foundation
timbers was the cause of the very wet
tumble.

Where Farmers Lose Millions of
Dollars.
The aggregate value of the manure
annually produced in this country runs
in the millions. The average farmer,
however, is absolutely wasteful in his
care of it, neglecting even the simplest
precautions for preserving its fertil
izing qualities. In very many cases
the liquid manure is often almost, a
total loss, and the solid part that re
mains has been so thoroughly leached
out by frequent rainstorms, and by
exposure to the weather that its value
is almost entirely gone.—Farming.

Belle—My fiance is splendidly edu
cated. You should hear him quote
Shakespeare.
Maud —Mine isn't, but you should
hear him quote steel and sugar.

THE 354 TH BALLOF
After an All Night Session the
Democrats ot the Sixth Con
gressional District Rally to the
Support of the Candidate From
Harnett County. '
New Hanover and Columbus Coun
ty Broke the Deadlock by
Casting Their Almosi Entire
Strength for Godwin. Other
Counties Followed the Lead.
Fayetteville, July 27. —After an all
night session the Congresional Con
\ention about 10 o'clock this morn
ing nominated Hon. H. L. Godwin, of
Harnett county. /
It took precisely 354 ballots to
nominate, but the end came with a
rush, being pushed forward with
large majorities by Bladen, Colum
bus and New Hanover counties.
Combined Against Patterson.
There was a great combined effort
against Congressman G. B. Patter
son, Hon. H. L. Cook, having with
drawn from the race last night and
Patterson's supporters were unable
to withstand the onslaught. New
Hanover and Columbus made a tum
ble assault, agreed upon during the
lecess for a break and swept rat
terson off his feet. The former coun
ty gave Godwin 24 out of 2(i votes.
Cameron Macßae and Fred Griffith,
voting for Patterson and the latter
iolled up a solid vote of 32. Bladen
contributed 16 to Godwin, Bruns
wick its solid 13 and Harnett her 24,
All this gave a majority and Robeson
ihe last on the roll call cast her
vote of 49 in fine satire for Godwin.
Wild Enthusiasm
A scene of wild enthusiasm follow
ed and the Harnett delegates huzza
for the Bladen, Columbus and New
Manover delegates during the excited
periods.
The nominee was escorted to the
building by a specially appointed
committee consisting of George Bel
lamy, of Brunswick; E. f, McCul
hwch, of Bladen; William Gilchrist
i>nd Jas. H." Carson, of New Hanover.
Mr. Godwin made a ringing speech
cf acceptance and was followed by
biief addresses by Congressman Pat
terson, Hon. J. A. Brown and Hon.
W. A. Stewart.
It was felt at 5 o'clock this morn
ing that Mr. Brown had polled prac
tically his strength. He often se
cured 80 odd votes.
New Hanover Made the Break.
Preparation for the deadly crash
vas commenced when New Hanover
decided she wanted Godwin and
tJrown advised his ardent Bladen
cud Columbus supporters to go that
way on a break with Godwin. Bruns
wick's 13 votes would have gone to
Patterson and Godwin would have
been unable to control a sufficient
r umber of Harnett's votes to nomi
i&te Brown.
After the breakfast recess and just
bclore the vote was taken the Pat
terson men made a wild and vigor
ous cheering effort at stampeding,
proceeded by a strong speech for
Patterson from Hon. J. G. Shaw.
Cumberland, even made frequent
frantic efforts to nominate Patter
ton.
WILL NOT SEND EXHIBIT.
Tour of New England States With
Exhibit Car Abandoned.
Raleigh, July 27.—North Carolina
will not send an exhibit of resources
on the circuit of New England fairs
this fall as urged by Governor Glenn
and contemplated by the State Board
of Agriculture after all. Instead it
1-as been decided to prepare an ex
hibit in Mechanics Building, Boston,
I'uring October.
Mr. T. K. Bruner, secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture, who re
cently returned from a trip through
New England investigating the pos
(h-bilities, says that he found that so
many of the fairs in the New Eng
land States would be held during
September that it would be impossi
ble to cover the points desired be
cause of their occurring the same
cates.
The Boston Mechanics Fair at
which the exhibit will be made is to
be held under the auspices of the
Boston Retail Grocer's Association,
who have made arangements for ad
vertising on a very great scale
throughout New England. Governor
Glenn is to deliver the opening ad
dress for' the fair which will be in
ivogress ail during October.
Union, S. C., July 28. —At a recent
meeting' of the' board of directors of
Monarch Cotton Mills, President J. A.
Fant stated that there was. sufficient
room in the present building to add
3,000 more spindles and a few more'
looms, and that he thought it would
be a wise proceedure to do uus, and
as there were sufficient operatives'
houses and power, this would give con
siderable more production.
The board then authorized President
Fant to purchase the necessary ma
chinery, and the order has been placed,
and it is thought that the new ma
chinery will be in operation by Septem
ber 15th. This will fill the mills to
their utmost capacity, and give them
41,000 spindles and 1,000 Draper looms.
This enlargement is justified because
of the mills' substantial prosperity.

BRANDS STORY A LIE. |
Covernor Glenn Says That New
York American Story is False.
Raleigh, July 27.—Governor Glenn
expresses just indignation at the pub
lication made in the New York
American, reprinted in some of the
State papers about what is declared
to have been an attempt on the part
of certain Tammany leaders on the
occasion of the Governor's visit to
New York some months ago, to force
the Governor of North Carolina to
sign a pardon for Hawley, one of the
noted "gold brick" convicts.
He says the whole publication is a
tissue of lies and that he told the
representatives of certain papers by
whom it has been reprinted that this
was the case.
It would seem that the puipose of
the publication on the part of the
New York paper was to discredit
Tammany, whose guest Governor
Glenn was while in New York, on
that occasion.
The article was sent out from At
lantic City while the Governor was
there some days ago and he told the
representatives of the New Yor.
paper who sent it, there was no truth
in the article.
A writ of habeas corpus was issued
by Chief Justice Clark in favor of
Everitt Spence, held without bail on
the coroner's jury finding for killing
Walter Chavis, colored, Wednesday
night. There will be a hearing tins
evening at 5 o'clock.

SHARK AFTER BATHERS,
Huge Specimen Creates Excitement at
Beaufort—Break-water Terminal.
Beaufort, J-uiy 21. —There was quite
a .good deal of excitement on Front
street yesterday afternoon when it was
announced that a huge shark had
made its appearance among some bath
ers in the sound nearby. Two fisher
men secured a small boat and har
poons and soon appeared on the scene.
After considerable trouble they finally
succeeded in dispatching the big fish,
which proved to be nearly fifteen feet
long. It was of the variety known
as the bonnet headed shark and is
thought by some to be of the man-eat
ing species. At times the shark towed
the small boat at a rapid rate, making
a great disturbance in the water by
lashing to and fro with its huge spear
like tail.
A large dredge boat, to be used in
constructing a break-water at the
Beaufort terminal of the A & N. C. R.
R., was launched at the ship yard here
yesterday. It was laumched in the
presence of many citizens and visit
ors, Col. Olds, of Raleigh, and his
"Sunshiners" being present. Little
Miss Busbee, of Raleigh, broke the bot
tle of champagne. Col. Olds made an
address in which he said that he had
it on good authority that a magnificent
hotel, costing way up in the thousands
would be built in Beaufort.
Col. Olds and his "Sunshiners" are
stopping in Beailfort instead of at
Morehead as incorrectly reported in
other papers.
.A big excursion from Raleigh, Clay
ton and Selma reached here Wednes
day. The excursionists were very or
derly and seemed to thoroughly enjoy
thenfselves. Several of them had never
seen the ocean and readily accepted
the theory of the practical joker that
in crossing the sound between More
head and Beaufort they had ridden on
the billowy bosom of "old ocean."
