As the trans port had not been heard from for 20 days, fears were felt at the navy department that she had met with a mishap, but these were set at rest by this message. The vessage was last heard from October 2 off the coast of Santo Domingo, to which it had been dispatched as a result of the revolutionary situation in that country. The Prairie sailed from Philadelphia on September 27. Fears are felt in the navy depart ment at Washington for the United States transport Prairie, which, with 750 marines and the United States commission aboard, was last heard from on October 2 off the coast of Santo Domingo, whither it had been ordered to investigate the uprising there and interfere if American or for eign interests were endangered.

GOOD ROAD FOR RANDOLPH Have Built Excellently Graded snd Gravelled Road From County Seat to Montgomery County Line. COUNTRY WAITED FOR CLASH Wondered If It Was to Produce a Parallel of Parker Episode More Proof If It Is Wanted. When the country read on the morn ing of Oct. 8 the charge of Woodrow Wilson before his audience in Colo rado that the steel trust is back of the Roosevelt program of trust regulation and in the same papers Colonel Roose velt's demand for proof of the asser tion it sat up and tok notice. Would this produce a parallel of the famous episode of the 1904 campaign, when thje colonel called Judge Parker a liar for asserting (what has been so re cently proved) that the corporations were contributing to the Roosevelt campaign? There was eager waiting for Gover nor Wilson's answer. It came prompt ly the next day in his speech at Kan sas City. Concisely, convincingly and dispassionately Governor Wilson met the Roosevelt challenge, and should the controversy be pressed further the Democratic candidate will give the Bull Moose all he wants, for the cor roboration whereof he spoke is abun dant. Wilson's Charge. At Pueblo, the center of the western steel industry, Governor Wilson said: "Evidence of what Lam about to say comes to me by way of corroboration every day in forms that I cannot ques tion. It is a very interesting circum stance that the United States Steel corporation is behind the third party program with regard to the regulation of the trusts. "Now, I do not say that to prejudice you. I am perfectly ready to admit that the officers of that corporation may think that the third party is the best thing for the United States. That is not my point. My point is that these gentlemen have grown up in the at mosphere of the things they them selves have created and that the laws of the United States so far have at tempted to destroy the things that they have created and that they now want a government which will perpet uate the things they have created. "You therefore have to choose now a government such as the United States Steel corporation thinks the United States ought to have or a government such as we used to have before these gentlemen succeeded in setting up pri vate monopoly." Roosevelt's Challenge. The same night at Albany, N. Y., Colonel Roosevelt upon reading reports of Governor Wilson's speech said: "As far as I know the statement has not the slightest foundation in fact. Mr. Wilson has no business to make such a statement unless he has the proof, and if he has any proof I de mand that he make it public imme diately. If he has not let him retract his statement as the only manly and honorable thing to do." Wilson's "Retort Courteous." The next night Governor Wilson made this reply before the great au dience that greeted him in Kansas City: "I understand from the newspaper reports that Mr. Roosevelt was dis tressed by my suggestion the other day that the United States Steel corpora tion was back of his plan for control ling the trusts. He interpreted my re mark to mean that they were support ing him with their money. I was not thinking about money. "I do not know whether they are supporting him with their money or not. It does not make any difference. What I meant was that they are sup porting him with their thought, and their thought is . not our thought. I meant, .and I say again, that the kind of control which he proposes is the kind of control that the United States Steel corporation wants. "I am perfectly willing to admit that they think it is the best for the coun try. My point is that this is a method conceived from the point of view of the very men who are to be controlled and that that is just the wrong point of view from which to conceive it. "If Mr. Roosevelt is willing to have Mr. Perkins suggest how the corpora tions ought to be regulated why will he not be willing to take suggestions from the same quarters as to the de tails of the regulation? Mark you, la dies and gentlemen, I am not discuss ing individuals. I know Mr. George Perkins. I have no quarrel with any thing except his judgment. He does not look at these things in the way men who do not wish to accustom their minds to monopoly look at them." A Log On The Track Of the fast express means serious trou ble ahead if not removed, so does loss of appetite. It means lack of vitality, loss of strength and nerve weakness. If ap petite fails, take Electric Bitters quick ly to overcome the cause by toning up the stomach and coring the indigestion. Micnael Hessheimer, of Lincoln, Neb., had been sick over three years, but six bottles of Electric Bitters pat him right on bis feet aeain. They have helped thousands. They give pure blood, strong nerves, good digestion. Only 60 cents at all druggists. High Point. The citizens of Ashe bore and Randolph county have built an excellently graded and gravelled road from their county seat to the Montgomery county line. This con nects with a splendid road across Montgomery and Moore counties all the way to the Cumberland county line. This new road will be extended soon from Asheboro north to Randle man, and from there very likely still farther north to Greensboro. In what ever direction extended, however, it will be within eight miles of macadam at Archdale, and it is the opmiou ui High Pointers that High Point should arrange to put this eight miles in proper condition. It is very probable that as soon as the Winston road is completed, which will be soon, the building of this new connection arid the strengthening of the Asheborc road all along the line will be taken up. Appropriation For State Militia. The secretary of war announce the allotment among the several states and territories of the fund ap propriated by the last Congress for the maintenance and outfitting of the organized militia. The North Carolina soldiers will receive $76,963.61. Thirty-one thousand three hundred and fifty-three dollars of this sum is to be used in purchasing ammunition and supplies and $45,610.01 for camp pur poses and the promotion of rifle prac tice. The total appropriation for the United States is $4,000,000 and the al lotment for each state is based on the enlisted strength of its militia. Fifth District Republicans Meet. The Fifth district Republican exec utive committee in session at Greens boro named C. W. Curry of Greens boro as the candidate for Congress to oppose Major Stedman. Mr. Curry has been a citizen of Greensboro sev eral years coming here from Philadel phia. He is a traveling representa tive for bridge material and supplies, and was an unsuccessful candidate for election as a city commissioner of Greensboro two years ago. Formation of State Baseball League A conference will be held in Greens boro to consider a movement looking to the formation of a state baseball league. If Raleigh and Durham will take franchises and put teams in the field, the league is regarded as assur red, as Wilmington and Asheville are anxious to get in the game. Winston Salem, Charlotte and Greensboro are ready to co-operate with the other towns named in organization of the proposed league. Western Carolina Colt Association A novel and entirely new show for North Carolina was pulled off at Mooresville when 64 finely-bred colts were exhibited at the first meeting of Western Carolina Colt Association. The attendance was large and there were no colts entered for prizes ex cept those under one year, atlhough there were quite a large number brought to the show that range from two to three years of age, for which there were no prizes but special men tion was made. Report Is Without Foundation. Collector G. H. Brown, asked about the reported removal of the office of collector of internal revenue from Statesville to Charlotte, expressed his surprise and said that the question was the first intimation that he had received of such a thing, and that, so far as he knew, the report was abso lutely without foundation. Return True Bill Against Carr. The grand jury returned a true bill charging embezzlement against E. F Carr, the express messenger, who was found in a chest in his car when the train pulled into the Asheville station. At the time Carr declared that a masked robber had boarded his train at Biltmore and at the point of a pistol had compelled him to turn over a package of money. After wards, under alleged third degree methods of Southern Railway Com pany's officers he told a different tale and was held under bond. Unveiling to be November 21. The monument to the Confederate heroes of Gaston county, whicch has been erected on the grounds at the court house at Gastonia will be un veiled November 21 . It was first de cided to have this exercise this month but owing to a delay in receiving the life-size figure of a Confederate sol dier which is to be placed on the cap of the monument, the date of the un veiling had to be changed. A splen did program is being arranged by the Gastonia chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy. Saved By His Wife. She's a wise woman who knows just what to do when her husband's life is in danger, but Mrs R. J. Flint, Brain tree, Vt., is of that kind. "She insisted on my using Dr. Ding's New Discovery," writes Mr. F. "for a dreadful cough, when I was so weak my friends all thought I had only a short time to live, and it completely cored me." . A quick cure for coughs and colds, it's the most safe and reliable medicine for many throat and lung troubles grip, bronchi tis, croup, whooping cough, quinsy, ton silitis, hemorrhages.
