Immigration For the South. - - New Orleans, Dec. 12. The close of the Louisiana State conference on immi gration at New Orleans this week marks the beginning of a movement which will have not only a local but a wide spread influence in the" neighboring States of Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas and Alabama, but tven in States further on the Atlantic Seaboard, for in a time not far distant New Orleans, with the big government immigration station will become the clearing house for the bulk of the immigration which to the Southern States. . Active steps already have begun to raise a large fund for the work of ad vertising,; literature and sending agents into those foreign countries whose peo ple are most desirable for the Southern States. Nearly 300 delegates attendee and almost every Parish ir the Statt was represented mid .in every Paiisl subsidiary immig a i i associations will be or organizad. , H. M. Mayo, Secretary, of the New Orleans Progressive Union said that the rail roads such as i he Southern Pacific, Texas & Pacific, Illinois Central, New Orleans & Northeastern, Frisco and Red Rivet Valley roads would not only contribute literature but cash. He and . G. Lee, commissioner of ' immigra tion strongly advocated the truth in all literature and deprecated exaggeration.

Her father came down to visit her on the ninth and as the marriage was to take place in a short time, it was decided that they should be mar ried here while he could be present, rather than they should acccompany him to his new. home in Rockingham (where the Conference has placed him) and be married there. - , He left for Rockingham on the 11th.

NO FAKE BUT SOUR GRAPES That Journal Scoop Old Not Sot Wall oh Soma Journalistic Stomachs. A few days ago the Journal published a story about a sensational affair in the penitentiary in which convicts Wilcox and Utley were implicated in a plot to kill the guard and gam their liberty. It will be remembered that their undo ing of the two men was through third party whom they trusted. The Journal had high authority for the account and felt sure of the authenticity. Sunday's News and Observer showed a disposition to doubt the truth of. the narrative. It said :' ' "A report has been published in some papers out of Raleigh, sent out in Ral eigh correspondence that Utley of Fay- etteville, in the State's Prison for the murder of a clerk in the hotel at Fay etteville, and Wilcox, of Elizabeth City, in for the murder of Nell Cropsey, had secured pistols, had plotted to shoot the guards and escape, but had been betrayed by a third party. from an official in the State Prison it was learned last night that the re port was entirely wrong, that there was nothing in it It was stated posi tively that neither of the men had pis tols nor had they been found with them. "There is absolutely no truth in the re port," is the statement that is author ized to be made in the matter." This, of course, is supposed to defend them in not giving the news. But the truth of the matter is the News and Observer was a little sore because it had been beaten out of a good news story and thought it better cry "fake" than to confess that they were scooped. And now comes the Raleigh Times and corroborates all that the Journal said' in relation to the incident. The Monday issue of that paper says t "Some months since, though it has j ust come to ngnt, m. uuey, me young man serving twenty years from Fay etteville for killing the hotel clerk there, and James Wilcox, serving thirty years for the murder of Nellie Cropsey at Elibabeth City, armed them selves with pistols and plotted toes cape from the penitentiaiy. The statement has been denied but it was given on the authority of Super intendent Mann, of the prison, to the Governor, who is now having an inves tigation conducted to ascertain, if pos. sible, who furnished these convicts with pistols. , '';"-'V' The plot of Utley and Wilcox might never have been known but for the fact that an application has been made to Governor Glenn for Utley's pardon. The Governor then called upon the pen- tentiary authorities for the man's prison record. He was informed that there was a mark against Utley, be cause he and Wilcox had been found with pistols on them and their plan was evidently to overpower or kill the guard and make their escape. . This in fluenced the Governor in not pursuing further Utley's application. , ' Governor Glenn said today he would first have probed thoroughly the evi dence obtainable in order to find who had tried to aid these men in their plan. , The pistols must, of course, have been slipped to them in some way by an accomplice either inside or outside the prison. If Utley and Wilcox did not plot an escape then the Governor has been misinformed. The affair was of little importance except in a way to show the desperate character of the convicts. Had it been known at the time it would have been "hot stuff" but time has made the news feature rather stale. It is a closed incident now; however, the Journal is glad to establish the truth of the story. : How's This? :': '"'::: ' We offer One Hundred Dollars Re ward for any case of Catarrh that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

It is I hard to depict and almost impossible to , imagine the anguish that wrung the hearts of the loving parents, when the death angel came and took the spirit ' of this young man away. There is no affliction so bitter in this vale of sor row as that of the perishing of a hope, .which a little further along seems I likely to have been realized; no despair so great as to behold the beloved oL I ject of their hearts utterly and hope , lessly pass from, the fond father and , loving mother of Edmund Russell. I No wonder that home is so dark and that the fond parents refused to be comforted when the loving form of their youngest child has been borne to its last resting place to await the res urrection mora.. The rays of the star that brought so much light to that home has been removed and placed in the Heaven above to serve as a beacon to beckon them on to a fairer, brighter and better world on high. 1 The soft brown eyes are closed, .the voice is hushed, for the body a -few days ago so full of life and seemed ' so far from the lone tomb has been 'called to its long Home, they are indeed passing through deep water and as they grope through the dark ; passage of great sorrow.

The synodical committee has secured the option on Montreat un til September 1, 1906. The estate is to cost $42,000, the exact amount that John S. Huyler, the owner, has spent upon it, the interest on the invesment not included. Of the $42,000 there will be paid in cash $25,000 while deferred stock will be issued for the remaining amount. It is estimated, however, that $50,000 will be necessary to purchase the property and make needed improve ments and the efforts of the committee will be directed towards securing this amount. ; ;;t; Death of Mrs. Laura Ervin.
