Washington, Dec. 3.-rTbe president In lila annual message to congress says: The congress assembles this year un der the shadow of a great calamity. On the Oth of September President Mc- Klnley was shot by an anarchist while attending the Pan-American exposi tion at Buffalo and died In that city on the 14th of that month. Of the last seven elected presidents be Is the third who has been murdered, and the bare recital of this fact Is sufficient to justify grave alarm among nil loyal American citizens. Moreover, the circumstances of this, the third as sassination of an American president, have a peculiarly sinister significance. Both President Lincoln and President Garfield were killed by assassins of types unfortunately not uncommon In history, President Lincoln falling a victim to the terrible passions aroused by four years of civil war and Presi dent Garfield to the revengeful vanity of a disappointed office seeker. Presi dent McKluley was killed by an utter ly depraved criminal belonging to that body of criminals who object to all governments, good aud bad alike, who are against any form of popular lib erty If It Is guaranteed by even the most Just and liberal laws and who are as hostile to the upright exponent of a free people's sober will as to the tyrannical and irresponsible despot. Anarchy aad Anarchlate. The president continues with a eulogy of Mr. McKluley, then turns to the subject of anarchy, denouncing Its doetrlHfs and preachers. lie says: I earnestly recommend to thecongress that in the exercise of Its wise discre tion It should take Into consideration tlio coming to this country of anarch ists or persons professing principles hostile to all government and justify ing the murder of those placed In au thority. 8ucli Individuals as those who not long ago gathered In open meeting to glorify the murder of King Hum bert of Italy perpetrnte a crime, and tlio law should Insure their rigorous punishment. They and those like them should be kept oat of this country, and if found here they should be promptly deported to the country whence they came, and farreacblug provision should le made for the punishment of those who stay. No matter calls mora urgently for the wisest thought of the congress. A Babjeet For Federal Coarts. Toe federal courts should be given Jurisdiction over any man who kills or attempt to kill the president or any man who by the constitution or by law Is In line of succession for the presidency, while the punishment for an unsuccessful attempt should be pro portioned to the enormity of the of' fense against our Institutions. Anarchy Is a crime against the whole human race, and all mankind should band against the anarchist. His crime should be made an offense against tbs law of notions. Ilk piracy and that form of man stealing known a the lava trade. The president next considers busi ness conditions, which he finds highly satisfactory. Us continues: The tremendous and highly complex industrial development which went on with aver accelerated rapidity during the latter half of the nineteenth cen tury brings as face to fact at tba be ginning of the twentieth with very serious social problems. Tba old laws and tba oil customs which bad almost tbt binding force of law were once qulta sufficient to regulate tba ac cumulation and distribution ol wealth. SlQca tba Industrial changes wblcb have so enormously Increased tbt pro- dactlvt power of mankind tbejr art no longer sufficient. Trad Corablaatlea.

Successful enterprise of the type wblcb benefits all mankind can only exist If the conditions are such aa to offer great prises as the rewards of success. Heaeoae For Caattoa. Tbe president adds that there are many reasons for caution In dealing with corporations. lie says: Tbe same business conditions which have produced the great aggregations of corporate and Individual wealth have made them very potent factors In International commercial competition. Moreover, it cannot too often be pointed out that to strike with Ignorant violence at tbe Interests of one sot of men almost Inevitably endangers the Interests of all. Tbe fundamental rule to our national llftv the rule which un derlies all others Is that on the whole and In tbe long run, we sball go up or dowri together. The mechanism ot modern business Is so delicate that extreme care must be taken not to interfere with It In a spirit of rashness or Ignorance. In dealing with business Interests, for the government to undertake by crude and 1U considered legislation to do what may turn out to he bad, would be to bicur tbe risk of such farreaeh lng nnfconal disaster that It would be preferable to undertake nothing at all. The men who demand the Impossible or the undesirable serve as the allies of the forces with which they nre nom inally at war, for they hamper those who would endeavor to find out In ra tional fashion what the wrongs really are and to what extent and in whnt manner It is practicable to apply reme dies. Hovr to Correct the Rvlla. All this is true, and yet it Is also true that there are real aud grave evils, one of the chief being overcapitaliza tion because of Its many baleful eon- sequences, aud a resolute anil practical effort must be made to correct these evils. It Is no limitation upon property rights or freedom of contract to re quire that when men receive from gov ernment the privilege of doing bus! ness under corporate form, which frees them from Individual responsibility and enables them to call Into their en terprlses the cnpltal of the public, they shall do so upon absolutely truthful representations as to tlio value of the property In which the capital Is to be Invested. Corporations engaged In In terstnte commerce should bo regulnli'i! If they are found to exercise a license working to the nubile Injury. It should be ns much the nlm of those who seek for social betterment to rid the busi ness world of crimes of cunning as to rid the entire body politic of crimes of violence. Great corporations exist only because tbey are created and safe guarded by our Institutions, and It Is therefore our right and our duty to see that they work In harmony' with these Institutions. Pablleltr the Flret Essential. The "Urst essential In detenulnlug how to deal with the great Industrial combinations Is knowledge of the facts publicity. In the Interest of the pub lic the government should have the right to Inspect and examine the work Ings of tho great corporations engaged In Interstate business. Publicity Is the only sure remedy which we can now Invoke. What further remedies are needed lu the nay of Eovernuieut.il regulation or taxation can only ho de termined after publicity has been ob tained by process of law and In the course of administration. Tho first requisite is knowledge, full ami com pleteknowledge which may be made public to-the world. Artificial bodies, such as corporations and Joint stock or other associations, depending upon any statutory law for their existence or privileges should be subject to proper governmental super vision, and full and accurate Informa tion as to their operations should be made public regularly at reasonable Intervals. Tbe large corporations, commonly called trusts, though organized In one state, always do business In many states, often doing very little business In the state where they are Incorpo rated. There la utter lack of uniform ity In the state laws about them, and, aa no atate has any exclusive Interest In or power over tbelr acta, It bas In practice proved Impossible to get ade quate regulation through stste action. Therefore, In tbe Interest of tbe whole people, the nation should, without in terfering with tbe power of tbe state In tbt matter Itself, also assume power ot supervision and regulation over all corporations doing aa Interstate bust Aasen4 Ceaetltetloa If Reeeeearr. When the constitution wss adopted, at tbe tod of tbt eighteenth century, no human wisdom could foretell the weeping change, alike In Industrial and political condition.

The board of agriculture this morning visited the Ag ricultural sad Mechanical College, of which It has charge. It examined the walls of the burned Watauga hall. Thore are two plans before the board one to borrow $15,000) and rebaild along pretty much tba same lines; the other to bor row 25,000 and rebuild a dormitory, and erect a new 3 story building fl a dining hall, armory and kitchen. The latter It regarded as by far the most sensible pirn. Today's news from the sick bed of tbe State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion Is that his condition Is much Im proved. During November only .83 of an Inch of rain fell here, while the average for that month is 2 23 Inches. But the ac cumulated excess of rain since January 1, is 7.88 inches. The first killing frost occurred November 7. Deputy revenue collector M. L. Wood and posse made a raid on moonshiners In Nash county, found where two stills had been moved and after a 12 mile chase made a capture of an 80 gallon one. Measurements taken of the two furnaces at the points from which the still had been moved showed that' It was the same still. The distillers are so per sistently hunted that they, after making one "run," remove the still to another place. The penitentiary directors met today and made preliminary arrangements for transferring more convicts to tbe camp near Marlon, whore there are now 120 grading a railway. It is tbe purpose to move 150 there directly after January 1. The convicts thus to be sent are now em ployed under contract at Tlmberland, In Moore county, near Asheboro, in a quar ry; and near Goklsboro. The penitent! ary has pulled through the year without borrowing any money. Tlio lumber mills In this state are now running on full lime and some of them on double lime. Orders are heavy The demand la from the Middle and New England Slates. The new dormitory, which will also contain the library, has been connected with some of the colleges and the din ing ball at the Soldiers' Home by covered ways. The summons served on the Governor and attorney general to appear before tbe United States Supreme court in the South Dakota bond suit calls on them to appear March 2. The order will be re sponded to. A BIG PAPER. Ashevllle Citizen Owned by a Millionaire and Will be Remodeled. Special to Journal. Ralmiom, Dec. 5. Interesting news was gathered today that Fred L.

MISS CROPSEY FOUND. Arrested With a Han at WUsoa Tetter day. Special to Joernal. Wilsok, N. C, December 4. Miss Nellie Cropeey of Elisabeth Oily, and a man who accompanied her, were arrested at this place today. Miss Cropsey was positively Identified. She Is 17 years of age and the man la whose company she was found was twloe her age. The man's name is said to be Mackle Durham and claims that tbe girl Is his ife. They came to Wilson Tuesday and stopped at a boarding house. FALSE NELLIE RELEASED. Rot the Real Miss Cropsey. Her Subsc- oaent Adventure. Special to Journal. Wilson, Dec. 5. When the relatives of Miss Cropsey reached Wilson today from Elizabeth City, they declared that the woman under arrest there was not Ella, so the girl and "Dr." Mackay Dur ham, the man claiming to be her husband were released. The people of Wilson made up a purse for them and treated them very nicely. They left Wilson this morning saying they were going to Raleigh, but at Bel ma they were arrested on a charge of horse stealing In Georgia and will be held for requisition papers. The woman Is very much like Ella Crop -Bey, the chief difference being in the ar rangement of teeth. An Evangelist's Story. "I suffered for years with a bronchial or lung trouble and tried various reme dies but did not obtain permanent relief until I commenced using One Minute Cough Cure," writes Rev. James Kirk- man, evangelist of Belle River, 111. "1 have no hesitation in recommending It to all sufferers from maladies of this kind." One Minute Cough Cure affords immediate relief for coughs, colds and all kinds of throat and lung troubles. For croup it Is unequalled. Absolutely safe. Very pleasant to take, never falls and Is really a favorite with the children They like it. F. 8. Duffy. THE MARKETS. The following quotations were receiv ed by J. E. Latham & Co, New Bern It. O.

Repair Work Neeesarj Two New College Building To Look After Horses. RaLkioh, Dec. 5 The board of agrl culture today made the wise decision to erect two new buildings at the .Agricul tural and Mechanical College The tonnage tax on commercial ferti lizer this year brings in to the agricultu ral department $68,000, which is 2J per cent more than last year's receipts. The demands on the department have been greater than ever before. A little more than an Inch of snowfall here last night. The fall lasted about 2 hours. The penitentiary directors inform your correspondent thai this year's cot ton crop will pretty closely approximate 900 bales, of which 700 came from the State's own farm, "Calcdoula", and 200 from the Tilleiy farm. The fuslonists made a bad contract with the owner of the latter farm, by which tho crop was to be equally shared. However the con tract ends Deo. 81. The cotton produc tion by the convicts will be about the same as last year per acre, but 300 acres were lost by the freshets. There were 300 acres In peanuts, but the stand and the crop were'poor. There are 600 acres of good upland corn. All Ihe Lowland corn was lost. In future only tho Cali donia farm will be operated. The An son farm will be dropped Dec. 81. Its lease ran 4 years longer, but by a com promise it is terminated Dec. 81, the State paying the owners a year's rent, $2,800, In advance January 1. The Cas tle Hayne farm owes the State $1800, which It refused to pay 1 years Sgo and the prlBon penitentiary superintendent withdrew the convicts. It is decided by the penitentiary board to bring the number of convicts on the Ohio River and Charleston railway up to 400. The State gets 75 cents a day for each. By the 15th instant 50 con victs now In a quarry at Salisbury will be sent there. It appears that there Is some trouble about convict labor In the quarry, hence tlrese convicts are turned back upon tho State. The convicts will go to Marion by rail and then march to camp, 10 miles away and In 7 miles of the Tennessee line. The penitentiary will not quite pay expenses this year the directors think. They borrowed $15000 early in Novem ber, but they did this in order to be able to hold cotton. They have sold no oot- ton or peanuts. Tbey find it cost $8,000 to rebuild and repair the great dykes on the Caledonia farm on the Roanoke river, and that it will cost as much more to reopen the ditches there. Slate veterinarian Tail Butler left to day for Hyde county to make a further investigation of tho disease among horses, whloh In the western he dlag nosed as forage poisoning. The disease continues to prevail there. He goes to Fairfield and Engelhard. Arrivals B. H, Bunn, Rocky Mount W, T. Dortch, Goldsboro; N. T. McLean D. A. Norment, Rowland; J. R, Taylor, Littleton. The session of tho board of sgricul ture will nrobablv continue until Satur day. The L'. b. revenue collections In this district for November were only $190, 000. Saved His Life. "I wish to ssy that I feel I owe my life to Kodol Dyspepsia Cure," writes II C Chrestenson of Hayfleld, Minn. "For three years I wss troubled with dyspep sia so that I could hold nothing on my stomach. Many times I would be unable to retain a morsel of food. Finally I was confined to my bed. Doctors said I could not live. I read one of your ad vertisements on Kodol Dyapepila Cure and thought it fit my case and commen ced Its use. I began to Improve from ths first bottle.
