Just how man employes will be affected could not be learned. "Our working force is being re duced to a considerable extent and 'we are sailing very close to the wind," said Deluno.

All current expenses are being reduced The Supreme Court and the "Jim Grow" Law. Baltimore Sun. The recent decision of the Supreme Court- of the United States in the "Jim Crow" law case sems to have reversed a previous decision of tbe court and also a decision of the Court .of Appeals of Maryland. In the case just decided the theory contended for by the negro who was the complain jiut was that as be was an iuter-State passenger he was not subject to the law of Kenneky which required sep arate cars for colored people, lie .-, -sued the railroad company in the Ken-iwytseke-State) ernirta and lost the caw. f - He then went into tbe Federal Courts : and there' the decisions were also - against, him. T. In 1875 the Supreme Court declared a "Jim Crow law of Louisiana in- . valid because it undertook to regu late the conduct of railroads engaged in inter-State trallie. In a case in the Court of Appeals of Maryland, short ly after the enactment of the "Jim Crow" law in this State, it was de cided that the legislature could not make this regulation so far as inter State passengers were concerned, but upheld tbe law as to passengers with in tbe State. That decision narrowed the law down to very circumscribed . limits. Later on the Inter-State Com merce Commission upheld the right of the railroads to separate the races even when the passengers were trav eling fronvStale to State. This new decision of the Supreme Court seems to settle the question finally. It establishes the principle ' that the railroad .companies are free . to makes rules and regulations for the " government of their business without interference except by Congress. '2 "8uh rules and regulations," the Court added, "of course must be rea ' sonable, but whether they be such J cannot depend upon a passenger be t ing State or inter-State." Tbe . ' courts in the South have always re- quired that tbe accommodations pro - . vided in the ears set apart for the eol ', ored passengers shall be as good as ' those for whit pasengers. - Jankers Wipe out Bemainder of Three Million Dollar Bond Issue. Following the conference of the bankers of tbe State and the Governor and Council of State on the State bond situation, State Treasurer Lacy Wednesday in Raleigh, announced that there are in hand bid, for more than $50,000 in exeesa of the amount needed to take up the remainder of the $3,430,000 issue, the sale of which baa given so.oincb trouble of late. In addition to this be has a number of bids in band tbat came in that have not been opened and are no included.

Governor Kitchin, was enthuaias ti.t over the result of the conference, declaring tbat it eras a aouree of special gratification to him that the bankers responeded to generally and adequately . to the appeal that it was found necessary to make to them, their prompt action havingoh hiemted the necessity for the extra sees ton. .

Smith is spending the day ia Charlotte. practically no property it is hoped to make Senator Tillman pay the judg ment lr one can oe secured. It is known tbat a representative of the law Arm mentioned was in Edge field recently in conference iwicb Mrs. Tillman on the subject of brineing tbe suit, but when asked today whether the papers had been tiled in court l.i said that the complaint had not been drawn and would not be until after Hie firm's rush of business was over with court here in Richland, that as a matter of fact it was not yet deter mined in what amount tbe suit would be brought for. It is said in Edgefield that the two children were carried to see their fa ther recently for a short vkjt, much against the inclination of their moth er and against their own wishes. Mrs. Tillman's counsel advised her not to refuse the request, it is said. When her Columbia attorneys were asked about this they said that they had not been advised that such request nail been granted or made. When asked whether he construed the Supreme Court ' decision against the Tilluians as giving tbe father tbe nirht to see the children, one of her counsel said he would arther not dis cuss this jioint at the present. Sons Conducted the Mother's Funeral 8errice. Webster's Weekly. The funeral of the late Mrs. Julia Anuis Poteat took place at Yancey. lie Sunday. Mrs. Potaeat iwas best known to the people of the State as the mother of two sons iwho are col lege presidents and a daughter who is a I the head of the art department ni amillirr c4lege. The aernees over her body were conducted by her own sons in a beautiful and impressive way. Dr. K. M. Poteat, president of riiriiian I mversity, talked from tbe Script urea of Death, and Dr. W. L. I'oteut, president of Wake Forest t olle);c delivered the tribute to his mot her. There 'was a simplicity about ii nil which was most touching. riu re was an absence of the uncon trolled wailing and now of tears which usually attend such sad cere monies, ttope 'was there and -no murmur at the fulfilling of God's will. I lie sous looked upon death merely as a parting for a time; tbe only sting of death is sin, and that since sin had been removed from their mot Iter's life, death itself was s mere t tile to he sco.ned: that there .is complete recognition in heaven and thuteven then their mother was looking down upon the scene around her bier. There was only the sad iu'ss of a personal loss for the time being. The control of the speakers' vwices was beautiful. Their faith brushed the tears aside from their owu.eyes, but brought them to the eyes of the congregation. The music of tbe service and the singing was performed by two of the grandchildren of the deceased, Hu bert and Gordon Poteat. Tbe body was tenderly laid to rest in the spot which in life, she loved so well, the family square in the Baptist ceme tery. Truly Mrs. Poteat was a won derful woman. Her life baa been a blessing to humanity, and the train ing she gave ber children will bear fruit many years to eomc. . Will Not Issue Bonds at the Present Tine. The board of light snd 'water com- misioners have decided not to issue bonds at the present time for the enlargment of the water supply of tbe city, on account of tbe depressed condition of tbe bond market. The board has been contemplating the is sue of these bonds for some time but sfter making a thorough investiga tion of the bond markets, they de cided that it would be for tbe best interest of the city to-withhold the is sue until the meeting of the legitda ure. The school board has found it nec essary to erect a new school bui'ding to properly care for the children, as the present buildings are inadequate for the demands made by the large increase in attendance. The -City will have to. issue, bonds for the erection of the school building and tbe -water board lias decided to join with thera and iesue enough bonds to complete the proposed equip ment of both plants. Superintendent Rutledge stated this morning that all tbe plans would be complete and work on the plant would begin immediately npon the issue of the bonds. Bryan Not Expected to Ron la 191 Says Hack. Mayor Gayoor, of New York, Gov ernor Harmon, of Ohio, -snd former Gov. Joseph W. Folk, of Missouri, at the present time are tbe most con spicuous posrbilities for the Demo cratic nomination for President - in 1012, iu the opinion of Norman E. Mack, of Buffalo, chairman of tbe National Committee. While making it clear that lie is not giving aid to any particular candidate, Mr. Mack said in New York recently that he is interested in tbe record Mayor Gay no is. making. .. , , "I And Democrats everywhere die enming bis readiness to do the right thing at tbe right time baa already demonstrated that he ean be trusted to administer the business . of tbe country. . "But thera are many good candi dates this year and we never bad a more encouraging outlook, uovernor Folk is a strong man, and I am glad he has come out openly as a candidate,-' The plMform he bus otiS' nol is a good one, but, of course, ! eauoot sav whether the national convention ill adopt it. Governor Harmon is another strong candidate. 'I hardly think Mr. Bryan will ran strain in 1912. We do not expect him to run, and do not think ha expeets to bea candidate. Mr. Bryan is young man, however, and thera is no reason why he should not lead tbe party In 1I." v . i " velt would muzzle the dogs of war in his proposed new capacity as chair man of tbe World Peace Commission which Congress will soon create. There is not much doubt that Con gress will establish tbe commission and there seems to be little doubt that Roosevelt will be at its bead, if be will accept tbe post, The way has been paved for the commission by tbe proposal of Secre tary Knox to establish an arbitral court of justice at The Hague by en larging the powers of the prize court established by the last Hague con ferenee. This proposal is now before tbe powers. So fsr it has been consid ered favorably, but no formal reply has yet been made by anv of the Gov ernments. With a little urging on tbe part of Colonel Roosevelt it is believed that the powers will agree. The next step will be the calling of another conference at The Hague, at which the ex-President, as bead of the American delegation, will have an op portunity to get in his effective work, At this conference rules for the court will be adopted snd a body of laws eodilied. bach of the leading mari time powers will be induced, accord ing to the idealists of the peace cause, to contribute a few bsttlesbips for the purpose of enforcing tbe court's decrees snd lending weight to its action. LAST DAT AT TRINITY. Mr. B. N. Dnka Hakes Another Do natiea to tbs Oollece. Another day of incidents that will go down among the memorable days in the history of Trinity college, at Durham came to a close Wednesday evening at 7tU when at the setting of tbe sun on the last day of the fifty first year of the college the flag of the class of 1910 was lowered from its mast and delivered to Bishop John C. Kilgo to be deposited in the ar chives of the college. This act, Bishop Kilgo bad an nounced at the morning exercises, would be his last official act as presi dent of the college. Not the least by far of the official acts of the re tiring president was one which came at the close of tbe morning exercises in tbe form of an announcement Mr. B. N. Duke, who for a number of years hss been one of the chief benefactors of tbe college, has been confined to his borne for some weeks suffering from an attack of typhoid fever. Df. Kilgo announced that he had been instracted by Mr. Duke to state to the college, its board of trustees and its mends that he would make a gift of $100,000 to be used in the carrying out of the neces sary work now going on at the col lege. GLADSTONE NEWS NOTES. Harvest is just on hand and wheat Clerk's Error Redlaced State Prison Sentence Thirteen Years. Raleigh Times. Through an error-made in entering the sentence on the prison record, Hub Holt, colored, is today a free man. Holt was sentenced to the State's prison for 15 years from Da vidson county for an attempted crim inal assault on a white woman and began to serve bis term about May 1, 1908. 'In copying -the commitment the sentence was recorded at the State's prison to be for two years in stead of 15. When the two years were up, about tea first of last month. the present officials, ' going by tbe record, released Holt, and nothing more was thought of the. matter. Holt .after being released, returned home. This early return eaused those who knew of the 15-year sentence to make inquiries, snd it was found that while tbe commitment called for tbe correct sentence, the prison record only called for a sentence .of two years. Tbe officials of Davidson county were notified, bultoU had disappeared and so far bas not been recaptured. v Rewards for Mail Bobbers. In .order to give further protec tion to the mail service the Post master-General - has formulated a schedule of rewards for tbe arrest and conviction of mail robers.

Frost every month n the year, ex cept perhaps in July, is the sad. pos sibility communicated to a cold and chiling populaw in western North Carolina by the oldest inhabitants. According to Deputy Sheriff C. Williams, the late Mont. Patton. fath er of the late Jesse Patton, the beloved fireman 'who died a short while ago, stated several years asro tbat there was frost in 1835 every month except July. this was tbe year that Halley's comet made its appearance and that year was known as one of the coldest It was also, it is said, the year when the people ot this esction and fact, the whole county came very nearly starving to death. Such was revealed by a careful study and in vestigation conducted by one of the well known local historians. In that year, acording to persons who re member the occasion, the weather was so cool that the crops obtained only a meagre growth and were by no means enough to support the people, The nearest market at that time wes Charleston, which required more than a montn to reacn Dy wagon because of the horrible condition of the roads. It can certainly be stated with all truthfulnes that there has been frost every month of the year 1910 so far, except June, and this section now seems to be suffering under a condi tion of weather 'which may be decsrib- ed as near-frost. There bas doubtless been frost even in June upon some of the high mountains. For the consolation of those who have fears of a failure of the crops it is tield out that railroads are still doing business, and that to reach other markets is now only a matter of a few hours. The ice manufactur- of tills eectioin, however, tare not at all pleased with the prospects. It is a little too 'warm for the cool end of their busines to flourish, and not warm enough tor the ice man. Such is life when Hnllev s comet comes around. People who remember the comet of 1861 sa ythat year was one of un usual temperatures about the hot test summer they ever passed.
