Stedman for Governor , The following appeared Ust jweek ih The Munroe Journal: V ' "The Democrats in this county will be called upon Saturday; tdjexpress their choice for our next governor. "We ought to have a candidate who Is not objectionable to any element of our party, if possible, and who pos sesses age, wisdom and experience. In our opinion the man for this place Is that gallant soldier and states man, Maj.Chas. M. Stedmaqof Greens boro. " "Maj. Stedman left the university of our State and entered 'the Confed erate army when a. boy as s private engaging In the first battle at Bethel and served through the entire army. For his bravery he was promoted to major, and laid down arms with Lee at Appomattox. All of our congress men, both of the United States sena tors, and all of the State administra tion except one, all the solicitors, and nearly all the judges are young men. We feel that It Is but just and proper that the young men and old alike should now join hands and nominate Stedman for this high office. He has the wisdom and prudence of age and with all the ylgor of mature manhood, j rpj,, brave veterans of the State want him and they are entitled to this con sideration. "He has not been a continual office-' seeker, but has contented himself with helping his friends and serving the party In the ranks. He Is notconneot- ed with any of the factions of our party, and with his brilliant powers Of oratory and kindly manners, would sweep the State. "Last Saturday his home county of Guilford endorsed him unanimously and enthusiastically, and all over the State In the localities where he Is best known, the enthusiasm for him knows no bounds. This Is the highest proof of his wonderful personality, his hon esty, his purity of life, his sympathy with the people. While the other can didates are young men and can easily have honors in the future, this is the very last chance that this gallant old soldier and ideal gentleman rill have I tits innnrtiinltl trt a&tiafv th hArlh. j ? , , --r-":.i L6" amWHOtt pra Tl ana , Jiara. . ... .u. wrwir inir ii raw. kii ( l mini .tin anaasi aium aim working life, and also the last time the old soldiers and the young men of the State will have the opportunity of vot ing for a Confederate soldier for this high office of governor,.

The suet- cessf ul co-operation of the third fleet, lately at the Yalu, is praised, as the number of the landing places on the Llao Tung peninsula la limited. The control of the peninsula is believe to assure the isolation of Port Arthur. The press insists that a Japanese vic tory, no matter how extensive, will mean only the Integrity of China and the "open door." The report that J. W. Davidson, ap pointed United States consul at An tung will proceed to his post Is wel comed provided existing conditions are understood. Because all Manchd- ria is a battlefield Japan must Insist on belligerent rights, placing the Yalu and Llao districts under military gov ernment as soon as they are occupied. St. Petersburg, May 7. Two Japa nese warsnips maae a demonstration at Port Arthur during the landing of the troops on Thursday to prevent .a possible sortie of the Russian torpedo boats. There Is no official confirma tion of the report that the Japanese bombarded Port Arthur again on Fri day or of the capture of Dalny. The Russians are not expected to attempt to retain Dalny or Klnchau, to which the outer fortifications of Port Arthur extend. ;J The Japanese have destroyed the railway at Port Adams and blown up the bridge there.

The beautiful custom of annually placing upon the graves of the depart e&Gonfederatea flowers evidences a tender loving remembrance of their Valor and self-sacrifice that does not fail to appeal to all, and the occasion of the Memorial Day exercises for 1904 will be equal to, if not surpass the for mer similar exercises.

Vandal Threw a 8tick Into Window of Passenger Train Sunday Night. Some vandal threw a stick into the "shoofly" train Sunday night, when 2i miles from Klnston on the way to Goldsboro, and broke one of the car wlndowa In the first-class coach and frightened a lady who was sitting next to the window, very badly. The train stopped as soon as possible and ran back to the place where the das tardly deed was thought to have been done, but no one was seen. While the train was backing back a pistol was heard which furter frightened the pas sengers, though the bullet did not take effect in the car. The train then went on to Goldsboro and securing the sheriff of Wayne county and bis dog, ran back to the scene and put the dog on the track. The train came on to this citv after sheriff Woo ten, who went to the plaoe and a thprough search was made of the surrounding premises but without result. The bloodhound was put on the track, but as is usual with blood hounds, the dog did not take the trail. After searching all the latter part of the night without result the train car ried the officers to Goldsboro. Sheriff Wooten was put off at this place again on coming back this morning and renewed the search with the result that he found sufficient evidence against Will Hardy, colored, to war rant his arrest and he waa brought to the city and lodged In jail pending the trial which wtll take place tomorrow afternoon. Evidence against Hardy lsclrcum stantlal but sufficient to warrant his detention pending Investigation. The tracks led to his home In the neigh borhood and the shoes worn by him Sunday fitted in the tracks where the man was standing when he threw the stick.

Judge Peeblet and the Lumbertoa bar have reached no amicable aettle- ment of their troubles, and the matter will be heard in the court this week. J. M. Allison was killed at a rock quarry near Asheville by a premature explosion of a dynamite charge which he was placing. His head was blown clear off his body. John Gann, the man sent up from Rockingham county for twenty-five years for shooting a twelve-year-old girl last Christmas, attemnted to ea- oape from the guards near Raleigh Saturday and was shot and killed. The fish commission of the govern ment has appointed two agents to vis It eastern North Carolina fisheries and ascertain the cause of the decrease in the catch of shad in recent years. It Is proposed to use the statistics gath ered in making a nlan to solve the problem. Prisoners on the second floor of the jail at Greensboro filed the bolts of the locks tn the prison Saturday, with springs taken from old shoes, and were patting for dark to make their escape when they were discovered. There were thirty on the second floor of the prison. The War Situation as It Stands. Brooklyn Citizen. Russia's fleet at Port Arthur it out of commission by reason of destruc tion, damage or blockade. Port Arthur ia garrisoned by a force of 22,000 men, and, although fortified strongly, is at the mercy of the enemy and it out off fromcommunlcatlon and suppllesv "" fcC-..-!-1- s-'-vsi; Admiral Togo's fleet Is on guard outside. The Japanese land forcea are advancing on the fortress. Viceroy Alexleff has deserted Port Arthur, in company of the Grand Duke Boris, and has retreated to Mukden. The J apanese have won possession of Korea and have overrun southern Manchuria, winning at the Yalu ' and every point they have assailed since the Sunday battle. ' ' The Russian forces have been driven backward each time the enemy made an attack. Japan practically controls every seaport In Korea and Manchuria. The Russian Vladivostok squadron Is keeping out of battle, but is watched by a second Japanese fleet ' '; vr; Russia plans to concentrate an over whelming army at Mukden and Harbin and deal the Japs a crushing blow In August. The Japanese are believed to be preparing for an attack on Mukden as soon as they shall have taken Port Arthur. North Carolina's Share Small. T. J. Pence tn Tbe Baletxh Post.
