I-rbim fe of the purple ho ab-
hi "eve dropping" know that it
contrary to law, yet it ought to be.
It term that while there is no statute
nuking the offense punishable, our
forefathers were dwn on the prae
lies pretty hard, and made it a crime
under the common law. The
eigh Ptl say that the first case in
(lie courts of North Carolina, and
probably the second one in the United
States, is now before the Supreme
Court at Raleigh on appeal from Pitt
county and is charged agaiust one Jor
dan Davis. The indictment charged
that he did "unlaw fully and willfully
approach the dwelling house of LU
Smith and Fva Smith, his wife, and
by peeping in the window and look
ing in the rooms, etc., to the terror
of the family and the annoyance of
the inhabitants, making evil exam
ple," etc.
The rejHirt that the Chinese are
boycotting American goods, a fvt
which, if true, would be of great in
jury to the cotton spinning iiulustry
of the South, shows that at least
some of the people of that vast coun
try are learning a thing or two. The
boycott as inaugurated in retalia
tion for the rigid enforcement of the
exclusion laws in this country
against the Chinese. All the world
is easting covetous eyes towards the
vast trade that must sooner or later
lie dcve!ot'd in that country. The
Celestials have never learned to light
and they are doubtless too old to
learn, but if they fully learn the
value of the boycott of the goods of
any country they will have a more
dangerous weann than tliirteen-iiu h
guns and lydite shells.
A dispatch says that of the Rus
sian soldiers niedk-ally treated at
Harbin, twelve hundred were found
to have mutilated themselves on the
first fingers of the right hand, this
being done for the purpose of escap
ing duty on the lield. While this is
taken as a proof that the Russians
have no stomach for this war, it may
not lie such proof at all, but merely
an indication that there are in the
Russian armies a good many of the
skulkers such as are found in all
armies.
Again has the little sly god let ily
his arrows in uneHvted directions
This time it is Mr. John I-aws, aged
70, who for fiiy-four years has been
register of deeds of Orange county,
and Miss Margaret (iraham, aged 22.
We did not expect to see a thing
like this happen in good old Orange,
where nothing has happened since
IT.'!-'. Next thing we know the edi
tor of the Orange County Observer
will employ a printer and iiiit tak
ing his two weeks' vacation each
year.
A couple, that were married in
Wayne county last week arc certainly
entitled to peace, prosperity and long
life. Mr. lhivid Williams, a sprightly
widower of 72, is the happy groom,
and a gay widow, Mrs. Sallie llarrell,
of only 7."), is the blushing bride. It
is recorded that the young lady was
near to lieing overcome with bash
fulness at the altar, having been mar
ried only live times before.
The article used at the christening
of the battleship Kansas at Philadel
phia the other day was enough to
sat isfy the Union county kind of pro
hibitionist. It was nothing but Kan
sas spring water. The daughter of
the (Jovernor of Kansas broke the
bottle that held the novel fluid.
It is stilted that the Southern Rail
way has sent to its shops at Spencer
sixty new locomotives, which cost, in
round numbers, one million dollars,
being the largest ever brought to
this section. Railroading is getting
to be a pretty big thing in the South.
Frightful Accident to a Young
Lady.
Stanly Entrrprtac.
Op limt Friday evening, near
Finger, Miss Annie Peck was kick
ed by a horse and the entire right
side of her fnce, was terribly tut
and mangled, and so close was the
blow to a vital spot that the acci
dent came near proving fatal.
The young lady was trying to
drive a horse back into the stable
wheu the animal turned and kicked
her. Though the flesh about the
cheek, brows, temple and forehead
is badly bruised and torn Dr. D.
V. Whitley pronounced the wounds
not necessarily dangerous and the
bones were not crashed.
Young Mr. Shoe who was dis
patched for the doctor came near
losing bis life on account of swolen
waters of the creek he had to cross.
It was a narrow escape both for
aim and bis horse.
Miss Peck is a daughter of Conn
j Commissioner J. A. Peck. The
latter only a few days ago lost a
barn and a lot of grain by fire, and
we are informed that lightning
struck one of bis buildings last
week, doing considerable damage
thereto.
It is a verification of the old ad
age, "It never rains but that it
pours."
TW War.
The rainy season in Manchuria is
now at an end and if the implied ob
ligation to refrain from military ac
tmln involving great sacnuVeof
life pending the result of the peace
conference at Portsmouth, N. II., is
removed by a rupture there will no
longer be any physical or moral ob
stacle to renewal of the conriict on a
grand scale. On Friday afternoon
the negotuUins appeared to have
reached a hopeless stage and the con
ference adjourned to Tuesday. Oya
ma is known to be in readiness to
strike, with a host estimated at .30,
UtU men, the 3ui,iW0 or more Rus
sian troops with whom l.meviUh is
endeavoring to cover both Harbin
and Vladivostok, over ti miles
apart
On the to main issues of a war
indemnity and eesiou of Sakhalin
Island, the attitude of both side re
mains absolutely unyielding, and
hence the apparent horlessness of
the outU'k for peace. Of the other
ten articles laid down by the Jaia-
uese, nine have been more or less
fully disposed of. Russia has agreed
to cede the Chinese Eastern railroad
,betwwu Harbin and Port Arthur
to China, retaining her line aero
northern Manchuria to Vladivostok
aud referring Japan to China for
something like ?10ti,mMMi. lioiu
sides agree to evacuate Manchuria,
respect China integrity aud main
tain the "open door." Russia is also
ready to pay Japan for the maintcn-,
anee of Hil.itUl prisoners of war
Japan's "predominating iutluenee"
in Korea i fully recognized and shej
is accorded special fishing rights on !
the Siberian coast. It is intimated
that Russia would have assented to
the surrender of the interned war
ships if Japan had shown a disposi-,
tion to meet her views regarding the.
two main issues.
When the envoys adjourned after
Friday afternoon's session they had
reached the hunt of their unaided

r torts, ana me lasi near cuance w
vioiisly rested with President Knose
velt. "By invitation, Baron Rosen of
the Russian mission held a confer
ence with the President Saturday at
Oyster Bay. The President has
moved the government at lndon,
Paris and Berliti to join in exerting
pressure upoti St. Petersburg and
Tokio. The outcome of his efforts is
believed to depend upon the Czar's
consideration of the proositioii coii-i
tided to Baroll Rosen, whatever that
was.
Meanwhile, at what the Czar and
his advisers considered the psycho-j
logical moment, the long-promised
Russian national assembly has been
proclaimed. This body is endowed f
with only advisory jsiwers, however,1
aud the Czar's autocracy is left un-j
impaired Though the ilnuitittit !
seems to be about as much as was;
expivted, it is not remarkable that
the Russian jieople fail to become)
enthusiastic. Still, the Czar has vin-j
dicated his good faith, and evenj
though he had not done so, there j
seems to le no doubt that the coun
try would supKrt Hi tn in continued
refusal to pay a large indemnity to
Japan.

There was an elopement in Atchi
son the other night w hich ended in
an original way. A girl of sixteen
and her lover decided that they would
marry and run off. To add to the
romance she climbed out of the led
room window and made her way to
the gate, where she was met by the
young man. It was their intention
to Ily to Missouri. It was a bright,
clear, moonlight night, and they
could see several miles as plainly as
day. 1 hey crossed the bridge, and
though the girl kept turning back
anxiously there was no one in pur
suit. "It i strange," she said, "I
made a lot of noise on purpose to
waken papa. She was so disap
pointed at this first break in her ro
mance that she compelled the young
man to turn back. Having the fath
er in hot pursuit is half the joy and
she felt cheated. When they return
ed she found a bundle on the front
gate with this note attached: "You
forgot your kitchen dresses and here
they are. 1 he girl climbed in the
window again and her romance was
ended.
Killed by Hosqulto Bite.
Ralrlgh CormpoliilrMr CktrlotM HWrnr.
lAst Tuesday Mr. 0. M. Minor,
bookkeeper at the Pilot Cotton Mills
here, was suddenly attacked by se
vere illness. What is said to have
been a mosquito bite on the upper
lip, under the nose, is thought to
have caused the trouble. His fever
was very high from the first, nor
would it yield to any treatment. Last
night he died. It is thought that the
wound made by the mosquito bite
was picked. Wednesday the gseat
swelling, which by that time had dis
figured the face, was lanced, but
blood poison was doing its deadly
work. Mr. Minor was 30 years old
and married a niece of Marshal Rob
ert II. Bradley of the Supreme Court
He was greatly esteemed. ,

the Southern Cotton Assucutioa,
uke here List Friday at the muta
tion of the oitict-r ol Uie local cott
association, on the subject of build
ing col ton storage warehouses, tim
ing to the bad weather a very large
crowd was not presrut. but it was an
enthusiastic one Mr. Jordan dors
not ordinarily go into the same place
twice, owing U the fact that there
are so many plav to go and his ser
vice are in such great demand. But
he premised w hen here last March to
return and so tided his promise. He
had just been to Wellington, where
he apeared before the federal grand
jury m the cotton figures leak inves
tigation. Mr. Jordan said in order to keep
cotton at or around a lixed price, the
South must have a system of warehouses.
' The Northwest fanner call their
warehouses grainei les From ihe ma

of this wheat at any time by selling

! years he has taken care to not do
I this at a pree of under '.Hi cents er

i people cash traders, and when the
! price of wheat gets below '.M cent
I they quit selling
The system of putting the whole
I crop of cotton on the market in three
or four mouths is old fashioned aud
crude in the extreme it has got to
j be held somewhere aud the holder is
the man licnetitcd. There is only
one way to regulate the price and
supply, and that is to market slowly
and when it gets below a certain
price tiuit x lling
; Now, there are two plans by w hich
I warehouses may be built. A farmer
may build his own and store Ins cot
toll at home and sell it at Ins discre
tion, or a corporation may erect one
I to hold several thousand bales ami
thereby reduce the cos! per bale ma
terially. V have objected to all
oilers of coi Mnit:n warehouses
owned and controlled by capitalists,
because the farmer should control
his own cotton till si 'Id But farmers
and merchants an. I bankers and oth
ers may erect local warehouses and
regulate them to suit the needs of
their immediate section.
I have on my farm a corrugated
iron warehouse set out from any oth
er building in the ojk'h. which cost
me aU'Ut one dollar per bale storage
room last season. I got a lower rale
of interest ,. ii invention than is ob
tained ill M.'iitiorlloal its warehouse
Texas fanners know nothing of
housing cotton except to throw thou
sands of bales on the ground and
enclose wiib a wire fence, It natu
rally began to damage after such
treatment, and after the break in
holding in Texas in March, there has
Urn iiottiing but damaged cotton
from that sivti"ii put on tiic market
since. One rain will diitnuge baled
cotton, and cott m once damaged
will continue to damage.
I would suggest that you make
your stock j?" per share. A strictly
modern warehou.se witha capacity of
. H H hales and over, may lie built
for about one dollar per bale storage
capacity. The directors may tlx any
rale for storage they like, to divlare
good dividends or not.
In Brown voi kI, Texas. I found ten
street buvers who bought for linns
of the town. These buvers receive
not less than one thousand dollars
each for their services, in all ten
thousand dollars, which goes out of
the farmers' hands each year in sal
aries for street buyers that could lie
saved each year by a warehouse sys
tem and sample room where the
firms could look over samples, make
their bids aud pass out.
None but fanners handle cotton
abusively, lie will buy mules and
tools, make a big effort to raise cot
ton, and when raised will leave it in
the rain on damp ground, and at the
same time probably have his stable
manure sheltered looking to another
crop.
In my tosn we have a warehouse
and sample room, hi this room is a
blackboard and on this board is writ
tea the lluctiiations in cotton for any
one to see who wishes. Cotton stored
in this warehouse is good collateral
for 75 per cent, of its value in bor
rowing money at home banks.
The International Spinners' Asso
ciation met in England lately and
urged all spinners to get out of the
market for three months, with the
avowed intention of stopping specu
lation in cotton, but more probably
to depress the price of the coming
crop. I replied to this by saying if
you quit buying, we will quit sidling
for the same length of time and see
whose corn crib and smokehouse
last longest. 1-ast March I wouldn't
have been so sanguine about the mat
ter. I am stronger now than then
because I sold my cotton for W
cents and have more money.
We will meet in Ashevilie Septem
ber 6th to fix a minimum price for
this year's cotton. I don't know w hat
that price will be, but it will lie fair
and just to both producer and con
sumer. It will probably be between
10 and 1- cents, but I have no au
thority to say as yet. There is no
doubt but that we will produce a
short crop. I have had fun with
some of the men who weakened and
sold before the price reached 10
cents. They would approach me with
all kind of excuses a to why they
did this. I said hold on, my friend,
and running my hand up and down
his spinal column, said that is not
the reason at all, my dear sir, it's no

MAJESTIC BAKING DEMONSTRATION
"NOW GOING ON.
IRDIC1
JHEKfffERNAljONAll
We heartily invite our friends to call any day during the above mentioned week and we will demon
strate the superior qualities of the
NEW MAJESTIC MALLEABLE AND
CHARCOAL IRON RANGES.
The MAJESTIC MALLEARLE and steel ranjre as formerly turned out by the Majestic people hns
been considered throughout the entire country par-excellence, and far ahead of any other range made.
Hut with the NEW CHARCOAL IRON BODY in place of Steel, making it double its value, and the
fact that it is the only range in existence made of Malleable and Charcoal Iron, you can readily see
that if quality is considered, the Majestic leads by a big margin. WE WANT YOU TO CALL at our
store during this week, and let us explain this new featurc:-CHARC0AL IRON BODIES; let us ex
plain why it is the best material for range bodies, and incidentally, why it is not used on other ranges.
We want you to call if you intend to buy or not, as the information gained will serve you in the future.
HANDSOME SOUVENIR-FREE
As long as they last, we propose to give to each prospective customer a neat souvenir, something
