"I am confident that the ticket head ed by Parker and Davis will have a majority of the votes in the electoral college. The outlook is entirely satis- : factory to me." Representative playton, national committeeman of Alabama, gave ut- terance to the above opinion tonight.' Mr. Clayton has just returned from a three weeks visit, in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Twice he went to Esopus to see the Democratic nominee and he is charmed by the., personality of Judge Parker. "He is undoubtedly a great man," said Mr. Clayton. "I was much im pressed with his self poise, modesty and ability so different from that roar ing and ripping fellow in the White House. Judge Parker is also perfectly familiar with every turn of the cam paign. It is really under his personal direction. He astonished me with his knowledge of the details of the local political situation in the several states. He "knows the situation in Wisconsin as well as he does in New York. My understanding Is that Judge Parker will shortly make a trip to New York city and he may spend some time con ferring with Chairman Taggart and the executive committee there. Chair man Taggart, by the way, is confident that the ticket will be elected. He says, and his friends say, that there is no doubt of his being able to deliver the vote of Indiana to Parker. With it will go other middle western states and the east is reasonably safe. I found no Democrats in New York who did not believe Roosevelt would be beaten there. The Murphy-McCarren war' exists almost wholly in the Republi can newspapers. Longbefore election day there will be an amicable arrange ment and the city will give . Parker a greater majority than it did Coler.' There will also be a heavy cut in the Republican majority in upper New York. I was impressed with the strength of Judge Parker all through the northern section of the state the Republican stronghold. "There is no denying- the fact that ne the hardest fights we will have th east 1 e ew Jersey, con- itinued'Mr. Clayton, "but my talks with leading Democrats there con vinced me that we will win out.

Tobacco has suffered much from drought in the Ohio Valley, but has made satisfactory progress in the mid dle Atlantic states and New England. Cutting is in progress in Ohio and Virginia. PINCH OF HUNGER . Striking Cotton Operatives in Want Mill Agents Restive Fall River, Mass., Aug. 16. The pinch of hunger is being felt by many of the striking- cotton operatives and their families. The non-union strikers, numbering about 19,000, have received less than $5,000 in cash aid. ; The city and the churches are opening ' relief stations and the state charity board is , making inquiries into the situation While there is ho indication of weak ening on the manufacturers' side, it is an open secret that someof the mill agents are becoming restive under the prolonged shut-down of their plants and the outspoken discontent of so many of the local stockholders. Cer tain concerns that were operating at a profit before the strike are not only suffering a loss in earnings, but also of desirable customers and i..arkets which outside competitors are taking away from them. Under the manufac turers' agreement these mills are pledged with the others, to which the shut-down involves no great loss under present business conditions, to see the strike through to the bitter end, what ever the cost. Roosevelt's Letter Washington, Aug. 16. The principal feature of the cabinet meeting today was a thorough discussion of the letter of acceptance of the Republican nomi nation by the president. This letter has been in course of x:on struction for the past three weeks and has been submitted individually to members of the cabinet for their criti cism and suggestion. At the meeting today the document, which is supposed to be nearly complete, was read care fully, with a view to eliciting sugges tions from certain of the members who had not yet had an opportunity to read it. It is said to be about the same length as the speech .with which Pres ident Roosevelt received the notifica tion committee at Oyster Bay, and it is expected that it will be . ready for publication in about two weeks time. TWO MUMMED MILITIA OVERPOWERED Frightful Death for Paul Reed and Will Cato Negroes Convicted of Murder--Moh Statesboro, Ga Aug. 16. After over powering the militia and seizing the telegraph office so that help could hot be summoned from outside, an armed mob burned Paul Reed and WiJl Cato, negroes convicted of murder, at the stake this afternoon. They had been sentenced to hang by law on September 9, but th bitterness aroused by their crime the murder of Henry Hodges, a white man, his wife and three children brought about the triumph of Judge Lynch. There are thirteen other negroes un der arrest for complicity in the crime, and it is feared that most of the men will be killed by the mob. About two thousand mien witnessed the affair. There were cans of kerosene on every hand. For a long time the crowd took counsel whether to burn or hang the men. Twice a rope was put around their necks, and the rope was started for a limb of a tree, but th c-owd would not have it. Some of the party were against the burning. 1 The charge of the militia wa3 some thing equal to the storming of a. fort. The militia could have saved them selves . by fruitless shooting into the crowd, but trere was no occasion for more slaughter than the fearful affair that had already happened. The sol diers are in no way to blame, and what was done was done for the best of all concerned. . To have fired into the mob would have precipitated a fearful riot, as everv white man was armed. Not a gun was djawn on the ' militia. The crowd simply forced themselves so thickly on the hundred men who were j scattered into little, squads that it was , impossible to resist them. . The report of additional " militia coming into the city is responsible, for the ript. .. - ... s .. -. . : m A NEW RICHMOND ; IN THE FIELD Gould and Harriman Interests Mentioned as Seeking Control of S. A J L Baltimore, Aug. 16. The bankers who have charge of th movement to pool with the Fidelity and Deposit Company thee ommon and preferred stock of the Seaboard Air Line Railway Company refuse to make public their plan or to discuss in any way the , new develop ment In the affairs of the railroad, ex cept to say that the shareholders are responding in a gratifying manner to the proposition to concentrate in one big block their stock. It Is generally believed, however, that an important announcement will be made within a few dans. Meantime financial circles, both-in Baltimore and New York, manifest a lively interest in the property. In well-informed circles it is understood that a new Richmond is in the field and has offered better, terms for control than were offered by the Blalr-Ryan-Coolidge syndicate, pro- vided a majority of the -stock can be delivered in one block. The Goulds and interests close-to the Harriman system: are mentioned as seeking to buy control of the Seaboard, It seems to be a fact that negotiations with the Blair people are off, and that they, missed their opportunity last. week when they turned down the coun- ter proposition made by the represen- tatives of the Middendorf-Williams banking houses, which were willing then to sell their holdings, "amounting to 114,000 shares," at $15 a share for the common, and $26 a share. for the pre ferred. " . .""T ' ?5e!S!l more than 60,000 shares of the stock have been traded In on the New York "curb" since August 1. Who have been apnmiilatlnc tho strrl ia Tint lrnnwn but a rumor is current that powerful interests have been picking it up pre - liminary to making an offer for outright control. During the morning the sales of both common and preferred stock were very light In Baltimore. The common stock opened at 11, an advance of 1-4 from yesterday, and only one block of 350 shares was sold . on 'change at the morning session. Only 'five shares of preferred stock were sold before noon at 21 1-2 points higher than the closing quotation yesterday. On the "curb" market in New York the prfces were about the same as those in Baltimore and the sales were veiry light. Desperate Prisoners Durham, N. C, Aug. 16. Special. Two prisoners, Neal Edwards and Fletcher Winningham of Orange coun- ty, have been sent to the roads of this county-to work. Edwards has two years MT STAKE Charged Soldiers, But Side Used Weapons When court adjourned there was no perceptible . demonstration. The men were gathered on the outside as usual Judge Dally was discharging the grand jury with words of thanks when a loud volley of cheers interrupted him. He rushed to the window, but some one said: "All is quiet." Then the charge was resumed. The jury had been dis missed and the judge was discussing with his solicitor general when tne crowd crowded into the court house hall below. , The judge went immediately to the steps and urgefl them to disperse. Five attempts to charge the crowd were made, but without avail. The men would not listen to any leader. Subse quently the mob retired for consulta tion and a few men were selected. It was discovered that the guns taken from the soldiers were not loaded, which was a very wise precaution, for a reckless shot would have been the cause for the most terrible bloodshed imaginable. The few men who were charged by the mob were not injured. The mob was delighted that " the sol diers were not prepared to shoot into them, and put up their own guns in return. "Let's fight even," said a leader, and the pistols were put up. Then the mob charged. A few men had their hands cut by bayonets, .but no one was hurt seriously. . When the final rally was made at the jail, the men disarmed the mili tary and in a minute there was a cheer of success. A long line of men pushed down, the court house stairs and with a chain half hitched Cato was dragged down the steps between several men. A rope was put around Reed's neck and he. was carried by four men for half and Winningham half that length of time. These men were tried at the lastj week terra of Orange county on the; charge of forgery. Edwards was given one year .and Winningham was given four months for larceny. Court ad journed on Wednesday and the latter part of the week the two men made a desperate effort to escape and came near killing the jailer, Wr. A. Maddry, Jr., having him down, when he drew his pistol and forced them into sub mission. Judge Bryan heard of the bold attempt and very promptly changed the sentences from four months to one year in one case, and from one to two years in the other. They were taken out to the road forces today and are now at work. ACT OF GRACE - Abolish Corporal Punishment in Russia Kaiser Godfather St. Petersburg, Aug. 16. One of the acts of grace signalizing the birth of an heir to the throne will be the total abo- lition of corporal punishment through,- out Russia. A ukase to this effect ;s expected to be issued tomorrow, It is reported, apparently on good au- thority,' that the emperor of Germany has asked for the privilege of acting as one of the godfathers of the heir.

Accord ing to today's autopsy the man was killed and thrown into the river. The wounds had been made with an axe. The motive for the crime was robbery. Neither a mile and then allowed to walk. On the road he was made to give testi mony and it is said gave out a num - ber of names. The from victims were taken two miles the city and a chain thrown around a stump, piles of wood were placed around their feet and matches applied. As the blaze started up it is said the men writhed and struggled. Reed did not utter a word after the fire was applied, but before the torch was lighted he yelled: "Please, please." Cato shrieked like a maniac when the torch struck him. Smarting flames licked around the men and before they hardly realized it they were in death agony. the A pause was. made on the Toadside and at this time some one offered a prayer for the men a word. Cato did not utter pspfnr the torch was applied Cato! begged that he be hung, but Reed said: "Let him die like me, and his wish was obeyed. The death ot the men, it is said, came in almost a minute, so well, were they saturated with kero sene. " At 3 o'clock the men were both char red masses. The military is still on guard and all is perfectly quiet. Therer is some talk of others who were in the affair being lynched, but this will hardty occur, as the people are evi- j dently satisfied.

The following report has been received from-Admiral Kami- mura regarding his battle last Sunday morning with the Russian Vladivostok squadron.

"As they appeared tkus we could adopt the Letter formation against the Rus sian line and concentrating, our fire on each of the Russians in succession in flicted severe damage upon all.
