Remove Deadlock. ' i
r Portsmouth, August 23. --The, presi
, dent's proposition if accepted will put
an end to the deadlock. It is as : fol
lows: "Japan to sell all or half of Sak.

Cure Found For Leprosy. '
Manila, August 22 What appears to
be a well authenticated instance of the
cure of leprosy has been found here,
few weeks ago a patient who had
been under treatment for that disease,
died of liver complaint. After the pa
tients' death every 'part of the body
was subjected to a searching microsco
pic examination by bacteriologists, but
not the slightest trace of leprosy could
be found. Dr. H. B. Wilkinson, , the
physician who treated the patient for
leprosy, is a graduate of the University
of Virginia class of 1S94. . y i -.
Hurrah For New Bern. '
Mews and Observer. ' ':
"Hurrah for New Bern!" said a gen
tleman from that city who spent yes
terday in Raleigh.
The Board of Aldermen of that city
he said, has adopted an ordinance pro
hibiting carriages and hacks from being
driven on the streets at night later than
nine o'clock. New Bern is in the wake
of Raleigh, but it is always awake.
Arapahoe -A
.'. August 24th. .;.
Business in Arapahoe is as flourish'
ing as can be expected at this season
of the year. ":: ; : '
From the amount of lumber that is
being sawed by our lumber man Mr. J.
B. Lee, there seems to be groat prep
arations for building. '
Saturday before last, the fighting
boys of our community united their
forces at Arapnhoe, and fought a bat
tle that would have made Japan and
Russia blush. I am not prepared to
give the particulars, but it resulted in
one or two getting knocked down with
clubs and one came very near getting
his throat cut with a pocket knife, and
other hurts of less importance. Two
, of the boys are bound over to court
under one hundred dollar bonds, while
others that were implicated will hard-,
ly be able to shun the court.. What a
pity that young men who claim to be
intelligent cannot see how ungentle
manly it is to use brute force to settle
' small difficulties.
The mechanics will start up work on
the Arapahoe academy the first of
September.
The Methodist and Baptist Sunday
day Schools are anticipating a fine time
here tomorrow; they will give an an
nual. All are invited to attend.
Miss Cornelia Holton returned home
last Friday. She has been visiting
friends and relatives near Arapahoe.
Mrs. Alice Land and daughter Allic
and Miss Meta Simpson went to Orien
tal Tuesday. They were accompany by
Mrs. G. W. Brinson. They took the

Raleigh, N. C, August 23 Governor
Glenn left today for Red Springs where
he delivcres the principal address at the
reunion of the people of that section
tomorrow which is to be a very large
affair: y '.-; - " .
The Corporation Commission has re
turned from South Dakota, where they
attended the National Convention of
Railway Commissioners, sessions being
held at Deadwopd and Hot Springs, the
places being only two miles apart. They
say the crops in Jowa and Nebraska are
the finest they ever saw. The attend
ance at the Convention was larger than
usual. No business of special impor
tance to North Carolina was transacted.
Deputy Commissioner of Insurance
Scott, is now in the western part of
State investigating ; tires which is
thought to have been incendiary. ' ;
A charter is granted to the Young-
Hartsell Mills Co., which will build and
operate a cotton spinning and weaving
mill in No. 11 township, Cabarrus coun
ty, near Concord, the capital stock be
ing 200,000, one fourth preferred, J. I,
HartselL R. S.. Young and W. C. Hous
ton being the stock holders. '
Col. S. J. Cobb of Lumber Bridge has
sent to the Hall of History the British
musket used by his grandfather Neil
McAlpin during the war with the revo
lution. He writes that McAlpin was a
lieutenant and was wounded at Ramsays
Mills on deep river, at ' the battle of
March 28th, 178L thirteen days after
that of Guilford court house, and that
he took tt.e oath of allegiance to the
United States at Wilmington, w,herehe
was left suffering from two wounds his
regiment having gone with Cornwallis
to Yorktown. He took the oath some
time after the surrender of Cornwallis,
He then went to the Scotch settlement
in Robeson county and located Rennert
where he died in 1830. Col, Cobb says
the old musket has killed hundreds of
deer, bear, turkeys, panthers, wild cats
etc., and will still shoot as well as ever
making a noise equal to that of a small
cannon, the recoil equaling the kick ' of
a mule. ; '
Secretary Brunerof the Board of Ag-
riculture is very much astonished at the
fact that so few applications for ten
ants or laborers, have come into him
from the people of the state in response
to his circulars. , It had been under
stood that great numbers were desired
and in fact that a quarter of a million
people could be placed, but not enough
applications have come in to make up a
car load of people and he does not care
to go to New York after a smaller num
ber than a car load, say 60 or 60. There
are really more offers to selNand than
there are applications for immigrants.
The Baptists here appear to be much
pleased at the selection of Rev. M. L.
Kestler of Morganton to succeed Rev,
J. B. Boone as general manager of the
Baptist Orphanage at Thomasville.
At one o'clock this morning the wife
of Richard Crone, who is a night watch
man at the Seaboard Air LineRy. shops
here, awoke in time to see a negro
the act of climbing into her room
through a window. ' She screamed, the
man fled and was shot at Bloodhounds
were wanted but there are none here,
The penitentiary bloodhounds are
longer kept here but at the state farm
near Wcldon. ' ,

FEVER IS CHECKED f
Local Authorities Exercising Every Effort
And Efficient Handling of Cases.
New Orleans, August 23. While the
leaders in the fight against yellow
fever feel the struggle is succeeding
beyond expectation ther is no disposi
tion to lull the public to a false sense
Of security lest there be a relaxation in
the efforts of every household to main
tain the recent control of the disease,
The situation is , encouraging above
Canal street and the disease has failed
to secure a foothold there. Cases are
now being reported within six or eight
hours after taken down, indicating
increased efficiency by the local author
ities and their close co-operation with
the Federal. Last night's report says
the deaths yesterday numbered 9, and
new cases 57. The new foci is 21,
cases under treatment 819.

session of the supreme representatives
115 in number, of the Royal Arcanum.
This order has 3750 members in North
Carolina, and 31C.0C0 in the United
States, these carrying six hundred and
eighty millions of insurance. rThe
other representative from North Caro
lina is H. Taylor Rogers of Asheville.
Under a new regulation, adopted at the
last meeting the rates were materially
increased on the older members and
this special session is to see whether
there shall be a revisal. The executive
committee called in two actui ries - of
National reputation and after two
years conference, at a cost of, $20,000
made a tabulation, on a scientific basis,
intended to perpetuate the order. The
rates were so high upon theoloVr mem
bers that they v raised a howl. It is
not known by Mr. Dockery whether the
action taken will be reconsidered or
not. He opposed the increase, being
one of the seven members who did so
and was the only one who spok against
it. ' Whatever he does, he" say's will be
for the best interest of the Order and
in justice to the ' older members Mrs.
Dockery, Miss Nettie Dockery and Miss
Bessie Everett accompany Mr. Dockery

SHORT PASSING EVENTS.
With the coming of the automobile
to New Bern, it is just as well for all
who drive horses, or drive autos, and
even those who walk across the streets
to take heed. It is not every horse that
knows or likes an auto, and with so
many girls and ladies driving horses,
accidents are not only possible but quite
probable, and these might prove disas
trous and all auto-drivers are not per
fect in their control of their machines,
so accidents are easy to occur. And
those who walk should, take heed lest
their walk have serious interruption
when crossing the streets. .
