NORTH STATE HAPPENINGS Occurrences of laierest GleLned From All SectiotM of the Busy Tbl Heel Siate I AN APPEAL TO PASTORS. WAS E0HEH3LE SCENE. . LejwTcT of Ministerial Band at Ual versity of North Carolina Writes Open Letter to Minister! of State. We " are requested to publish the following self-explanatory letter: To the Ministry of the State of North Carolina: Dear Pastor: The calling and training of young men to fill the rap idly growing number of vacant pul pit in the state ia a matter of lively and continuous interest. Our ministerial band is trying in an bumble way to show the students of the 'University the importance of ; the ministry as a life work. It brings together all who have chosen this as their profession and makes of the.ni a working and recruiting agency. This letter is an appeal to pastors of North Carolina to stir up the 'minds of .prospective students of this and other colleges to the present pressing need for ministers in all de nominations. If there is a young man from your congregation expect ing to enter the University who has already decided or who you think ' might be influenced to enter the sa cred ministry, will you not write a frank letter to the leader of the band acquainting him with the fact and ' offering any suggestions as to how the band may be of helpT Yours truly, A. RUFUS MORGAN, Leader, Chapel Hill, N. C. ftarth Carolina Won't Take Leper, Raleigh. Special. This State re fuses to receive from the Federal au thorities the leper, J. R. Early, of Lynn. N. C. This action being through the State Board of Health, .is based on the ruling of Assistant Attorney " General Haydent Clement, to the ef fect that a State is not required by ' the State or Federal constitution or statutes to receive citizens from be yond her borders having contagious ' or pestilentious dieases, and even if ' the- State were inclined to do this in . the present instance it would be im possible, because the, railroads would refuse to carry the patient, and since Early evidently contracted the disease in the army service, he was a leper when discharged, whether the leprosy bad shown itself or not. Therefore, the United States government is mor ally bound to retain and care for the ' patient. With reference to the wife and child of the leper, who have gone to ' Washington in the interest of hus band and father, Mr. Clement ad vises the State board that the board should write her in Washington and acquaint her with the fact that if ehe returns to North Carolina she will be quarantined in Polk county by the county authorities. This, he . says, should be done not to prevent her return, but in fairness to her in order that she may know what to expect should she decide to return. A despatch from Washington says : , There appears to be a hitch about the pension.. The Distrite Court de cided that it could not appoint a guardian for Early, to whom the pen sion money of $72 a month could be paid, as asked for by his wife. Hav ing been refused this appointment hereelf Mrs. Early prayed the court to designate the American. Surety and Trust Company, but this was re fused." Judge Stafford expressed the opinion that according to the laws of the District such a guardian should be appointed only in case the man is insane or habitually drunk. The 1 bureau of pensions has no intelligence '. in it capable of discerning any way to pay over the money which its of ficials declare Early is entitled to, . because they say, he is- segregated ' and incapable of receiveing and dis bursing money. However, the prob . lent is likely to be solved in Early's favor. The Colored Caldren Cremated la Home at pamerea. - Cameron, Special. Sunday nigkt about 8:30 o'clock, while the family was at church, the house of Hector Cameron, a worthy negro of this place, was burned, together with three small children, one of his own and two of his son-in-law's, Alex. Worthy. The fire is supposed to have originated from the overturn ing or explosion of a lamp which was left burning low. When it was first-discovered the children could have been rescued had it been known they were in the house, but they were asleep and gave no alarm and when the family reached there, the house was enveloped in flames and it was then too late to save tbem. The grief of the terror stricken parents was touching to see and their cries with the flames leaping in air made the scene one of terror. Conscience Hurt Him. Winston-Salem, Special. A con science striken man in New Mexico has sent a letter to Mr. W. T. Baynes, a merchant here, writing as follows: "Dear Sir: Please find enclose 40 cents for some tobacco and. water melons I sole from you several years ago, and I ask your forgiveness fer stealing . them. You may ask why I am sending this money for that pur pose, but the Bible commands rae to straighten up our back life, just as much as it does not to sin. So I send this 40 cents, hoping you will understand it." The forty cents was enclosed and a man's name was singned. Mr. Baynes thinks he remembers the oc casion of the petty theft. He will send the man a receipt. Tive Hundred Indictments. Durham, Special. The grand jury made a presentment against nearly five hundred delinquents failing to list their taxes the past June. There is no special excitement over the mat ter, though Sheriff Harward says it is the first time such a thing has hap pened on such a colossal scale. When THE GREAT FLOOD LOSS. - - ... ,. .t . - Farming Lands Damaged More Than A Million Dollars. The recent heavy rains have not only done an enormous amount of damage to crops, bridges, roads and railroads, but according to a esti mate made by W. W. Ashe, State Forester of North Carolina, the up land ' farming lands have been wash ed to an extent of more than a mil lion dollars, the damage being heav iest in those sections where the coun try is most hilly and where the rain fall was most concentrated . These estimates, based on the amount of soil in the water of the rivers, as shown from previous rec ords of freshets of the same height indicate that more than 1,500,000 tons of soil were washed from the pied mont region of North Carolina dur ing the past week; more than 500.- 000 tons from the farms of northern lieorgia, 700,000 tons irom upper South Carolina, and 400,000 tons from the hills of Virginia. Analyses have shown that more than- one-third af the earth which causes the mud- diness of the rivers during the high freshets is humus which is undoubt edly washed chiefly, from the farms. At one dollar a ton for this humus, which is less than it can be replaced for, the loss to these States in im poverishment of the soil exceeds $1,. 100,000. This is a loss which is large ly overlooked and tinder-estimated by the farmer, because it is a loss which takes place so constantly. In the ag gregate it is so enormous that it is one of the chief, if not the chief rea son for the poverty of so many southern soils, keeping them depleted of their humus, or the manurel por tion of the soil. This is a loss to which northern soils are not so sub- ject, on account of the lighter rain falls and the more gentle character. The ranfall at Raleigh and at many other points in middle North Car olina exceeded 12 inches in four days, n parts of upper South Carolina it was 15 inches in three days, while more tiian 4 inches tell at many places during one day. Such preci pitation is tropical in character but it is not uncommon in the south. It is necessary for the farmers of the south if they wish to preserve their hillside lands to employ not only the same means which are used at the north but to take extra means of SAILORS DR0WNDED Fifty Drown Within Sight of Their Families. WERE POWERLESS TO LEND AID Were Powerless to Heh Stranded a Hundred Yards From Shqre Crew of Portugese Steamer Loniza One by One Drop Into the Sea ' and Drown. Badajoz, Portugal, Special. With in sight oi their frantic families, one hundred yards away, the, crew of fifty of the Portuguese steenAr Lnize, were drowned Friday morning from thg stranded vessel off .Figuera DaFoz. The vessel was from BraziL The sea was roug and the lifeboats useless. The crew dropped into the sea and their bodies were washed on to the sand some hours later. Rela tives of the men recognized the men as they fell into the water. The scene was heartrendering and tragic in the extreme. PANIC TIDE HAS TURNED. 1 1 1 PERSONS INDICTED Partifdpaa.l i the Springfield Slot ;. Have to Answer to the Law. Springfield, HI., Special. the spec ial grand jury called to probe, the re cent race riots, adjourned Thursday after returning twenty 'more indict ments. This makes a total of 117 during-the session. Among the in dictments' returned were- four against Sprinfield - policemen, Oscar Dahl kamp, Jose Fereridez, Joseph H. Ohl- man and George W. Dawson. They are indicted for alleged failure to suppress the riot when detailed for that duty. Sheriff Werner, Chief of Police Wilbur Morris, Captain Char les Walshj of troop D. Springfield and other officers are commended by the grand jury. , The report condemns alleged "cow ards" among the officials and says: "We condemn in unmeasured terms the : cowardly, contemptible ac tion of those members of the force, who, having taken the oath of office, failed to do their duty ; men who were paid from money from the pock ets of the people of this city to pro tect life and property; men who were ordered by the heads of departments of the police to go out and disperse the mob, and not only failed to use a elub, handle a pistol or raise voice against the mob, and on the side of law and order, but some of whom are shown to have assisted by jbe entering September in a u.ei ana wora in aoing ine worit inut i average condition. nas Drougnt destruction to tnousanas of dollars of property and has brought the blush of shame to every lawabiding citizen of this city.

CONDITION Decline of , 41-2 Pouts' Noted for Last' Month. Results of the Flaed in the Carolina and Georgia not Reflected in the Report - Just Is sued by the Journal of Commerce., New York, Special. The Journal of Commerce published its monthly cotton crop report on September 1. As estimated from replies from 1,-500- correspondents, it makes the con dition 78.1, against 83.6 for the pre vious month, and 73.9 l year ago. This marks a loss of 4.5 points for the month, but is 4.2 better than last year. It is a fairly normal de cline, comparing with 6J7 points fo the ten-year average. These reports, it may be noted, precede the date of the recent storms, and any damage resulting therefrom is not reflected in the returns. Drought caused shedding, which has been the chief factor in deterioration Texas and Louisana, in addition, suffered from boll weevils and boll worms, but in Texas their ravages were not severe. The spread of the weevil in Louisana has been rapid, and the heavy deterioration of 13.8 points can be largely attributed to their presence. Nearly all the dry sections have been relieved by good rains, and figures show the crop to high So Says President Van Cleave of the National Association of Manufac turers An Diteresting Letter.
