The Asso ciated Press can authoritatively an nounce that the basis for the British Russian agreement to submit the North Sea incident to a commission insures an amicable settlement without a se quel. The understanding is complete. Great Britain expressed her intention of asking that a United States naval officer sit on the -commission, where upon Russia announced that she would I lice select a French officer. .There is a strong intimation that Great Britain will invite Admiral Dewey to be-, one " of the commission. , , ' , , ' THE FIRST DIRECTORY. it Was la Kalaa la Elisabeth's Relar. . The first directory dates from 1595, Queen Elizabeth's reign. A copy of it Is in the British museum entitled "The Names of All Such Gentlemen of Accompts as Were Residing Within the City of London."

Lombard . street, in 1677. The names were arranged alphabetically, 1,790 in number. In a separate list were the names of no fewer tliun for ty-four bankers under this heading, "Goldsmiths who keep running cashes,' twenty-three of them being then In Lombard street This book contains the name of the father of Tone, the poet. The first directory, expressly so call ed, was compiled by Brown in 1732, who soon issued it annually and real lzed through it a large fortune. The earliest postofflce directory appeared in 1800, and successive volumes have been brought out yearly ever since. London Telegraph. THE CURFEW BELL. Srtslnallr Bnaar Horalaar aad Ere lnif to Give the Time af Day. The story of the curfew was but the unsupported assertion of one historian of the sixteenth century, which was repeated in prose aud poetry till It was woven into the language. Like many other legends, there Is just a grain of truth In it, but its suggested origin is false, the derivation of curfew is erro neous, and the scuttle shaped lustra mentM which, supported the theory were quite different articles of house hold use. ITobably the word Is derived not from couvre feu, cover fire, but from carrefour, in old French spelling car fou, from the Latin for crossroads, and is the name of the morning and even ing bell, which originally sounded from the crossroads or market places both In France and England jlmply to give the time of day. It was and is rune at 4 or 6 o'clock in the morning and at 8 o'clock in the evening. One inscription oo an old bell runs thus: I am called ye Curf ue bell, I rlniren at Vllf or more. To send ye alio to bedde. And wake ye up at IV. t'"v, -Pearson's Weekly.- DEEP SEA LEVEL. Ita Chaacea-'IllwatnUed -Ia Cim 6t the Medlterraaaaa. Changes in the level of the sea are well shown In the case of the Mediter ranean. M. Ph. Negrls In a brochure presented to the Academy of Science furnishes Interesting information on this point, it being apparent that the sea has greatly Increased in depth as compared to ancient times. Formerly a bridge 3,000 feet long united Leucate to the continent. Today it Is sub merged, but the foundations of the work, were discovered eleven feet be neath" the surface. It may therefore be concluded that since the construe tlpn of the bridge the sea has risen at this point over nine feet. In the bay of Amphissa. Greece,. there has been observed a mole that is over nine feet beneath the surface. At Rhenee there has been found a com pletely submerged dock, evidently of Roman construction, the depth ot the sea above the dock at places being fully nine feet. From all of these facts one may con. elude that there has taken place an im portant increase In the depth of the sea since the Roman period, the Medi terranean having risen at least nine feet In about 2,00a years.

' BOARD OF ALDERMEN let WednesJay HLght in Regular Session at the Mayor's Office. $24 TAX PLACED ON BOWLIHG ALLEYS Encouraging News from All Parts of the Country. County Ticket Safe by Large Majority. -7 ... On the eve of the election, with only a few more days in which the contending forces of the two great parties in the nation can battle, the Democratic party presents for the first time in years a united front and is waging the most aggressive warfarb against the Republican party it has been possible to wage in years andiit can be said with truth and certainty, with the most gratifying results, according to the reports from all parts of the country. The bold land aggressive stand taken by Judge Parker and his activity and thel unbounded enthusiasm with which he has been greeted on his every 4ppearance this, the last week, of the campaign has served to drive the I Republicans into a state of hysterical panic in New York and they are kept busy on the defensive, The reports from all parts of the country are brighter and decided ly more encouraging than they have been at any time during the cam paign and the outlook for Democratic success in the election of a chief magistrate who will serve the interests of all the people with proper regard for the constitution is not now considered mere rainbow chasing, but is viewed by the Republicans with increasing alarm and the tac tics to which they are resorting in doubtful states bespeaks the despc rate straits in which they find themselves. Speaking to thousands and tens of ; thousands nightly inj New York and vicinity we hear of the irighty wave of approval that ' greets Judge Parker's utterances and the echoes resounding throughout the country gather strength in their progress and lend encouragement to the Democratic forces all over country. ' IThe materially lessened odds in me Deiung worm, me tranuc cuuris 01 me ivepuoucans xo arouse an apathetic partisanry in upper New York state by holding nightly mass meetings in 500 small towns in the? rural districts of 'that state, the flooding of Indiana withmoney ory equalled, by the Dudley blocks-di-fivrrde to 'retain the 7 yotes of West Virginia and many other panic stricken evidences are significant and to the observant betokens a fright in Republican ranks that has ndt'lbeen nqticeableTin recent years" and shows that the 6.v0, P. is on the run. ,' ' ' To the Democratic voters in this section The Free Press would bring the glad tidings of an active, militant national Democracy, march ing to a triumphant victory at the polls in November and urge upon our people to bestir themselves that the protest in this county against Rooseveltism be almost unanimous. To do this is a duty devolving upon every Democrat in the county who feels a pride in his southern ancestry; through whose veins there DID NOT "run a streak of brutal barbarism' ' as President Roosevelt charged and would have you believe. So much for national politics and in the State Democracy an even greater reason exists that all who desire the continuanse of the peace ful quiet, economical and gocd governmentfthat has been brought about by the Democratic party and is possible only through their ad ministration of affairs, should give their approval by their vote and make the endorsement of that same godd government such a large ma jority in the State that no encouragement would be given those who are earger and ever ready to bring on a return to old disgraceful conditions that existed before the negro was eliminated' from politics. , In the county campaign we find the Democratic party more united by far on the eve of the election than at the beginning of the campaign, because after a canvass by both sides it is readily seen by the people that tne sa'me old Republican party had nothing new to offer and the small dis satisfactions held by some few have melted away and been forgotten in the greater danger that menaced them in the possibility of a return to power of the party which only leaves disgrace and disaster in its wake. The Republicans of the county,; mistating the slight murmurings of some few for a popular uprising against ; the7 Democratic party and presuming upon their ability to sufficiently shape and organize it and thereby float in power on it; placed a ticket in the field in this .county, and now just before the election they,' finding that what they expected is not to materialize, because their action only served to frighten back Democrats into the fold, by their actions if not by their words over themselves badly beaten. - L ! ' . It has been the contention of this paper all the time that , the en tire Democratic county ticket will receive majorities ranging from 600 to 1000 and the cause is gaining strength every day, but we still urge nrxm all Democrats and those interested in a continuance of e-ond tmv. ....

The Waccamaw Land and Lumber Company, of Michigan capitalists, who recently purchased the famous Green Swamp land embracing about 175,000 acres of virgin land In Brunswick, Bladen and Columbus counties, Thurs day obtained control of the Chadbouro. Mill property in Wilmington. Two men walked into the office of Wm. Johnson, Jr., in the heart of Ashevllle, and demanded, at the point of a pistol, that Mr. D. E. Penland, an employee of the firm, open the safe in the office; Mr. Penland said he did not know the combination, so the men took his pocketbook containing $8.00 then they backed to the door, fired at Mr. Penland, narrowly missing Lis head, then vanished. It is believed that the men although appearing to be negroes, were really white men in disguise. Fined a Dollar Each. Ashevllle, C.,' Novi 3.
