Special Correspondence..: Raleigh, August 22. Captain Win ston, U. S. A., who Is in charge ot ! thu recruiting service, Jn the eastern : part of the State, has been on that duty for four months. There are five , stations, and at these about 60 men have been secured. He says that a bout 20 per cent only of those who - apply pass the examination. The gov eminent does not relax any of its re quirements,' and men must be physi cally and morally sound, tie thinks Congress will' make an appropriation - for Increasing the pay ot, enlisted men, though as a matter of fact, the pay now wilt compare very well with that for unskilled labor in this part -. of the countrythe total really being about (55 per month. The ordinary ... citizens, however, only looks at the $13 a month pay with which he brings leaving out food and quarters, cloth ing, medical attention, etc. The west ' em half of thoState is in, charge oif Major Reynolds, whose headquarters ,' .- are at Charlotte. :' ; More men enlist in the mountain region than in this part of the State. Up there they only get about $9., per month in wages on the farms. Most of the recruits come from the country and - relatively few from the towns. Ceptaln Wln- stotf IS "SB! ft-to assure then positively that during their term of rervlce they will to- to Cuba and to the Philip pines. There are" very notable oppor- i tunitles to see the world. In the sheriff's office today the of ficials were talking about the more than ordinarily cool summer and said that as a result fewer people had gone . insane than usual, and' that there was also, less crime. They think that both of these things are affected by the hot weather, and one official said this was the result of very close observa tion for six years past - Henry C, Dockery, who-Is a large farmer in Richmond ' county, : was here today, to attend a meeting of the trustees ct Wake Forest College. He is also a member of the Jamestown Exposition Commission from this Slate. "When asked about the cotton crop la his section he said it was very good; in fact better in his cotin- ty than it was last year, and that the fruiting ot the plants was very heavy. The acreage is about the game as it was last year. --,;-' w A telegram from Red Springs, Va., this morning;, told the news of the death ot Joseph K. Marshall, . the youngest son of Rev. Dr. Matthew M. Marsftg.il, for many years rector of Christ Church here. Mr. Marshall's death was due to consumption, from which he had suffered for several years. He leaves a wife: and one child. ; ' - - ' State Auditor Dixon went to Wades- boro today, and spoke at a Confeder ate reunion. Chief Justice Clark went to Plttsboro, and spoke at similar occasion. It had been expect ed that the Confederate Veteran drum corps here, would go to Plttaboro, . but two of its members died. It ex pects to get a veteran fifer from Chat ham county in a few days. The State Auditor is after several scores of corporations which have failed to report the valuation ot their property, and the amount of capital stock, and notifies that the report miiRt be In September 1st, or they will be penalized. - Governor Glenn came In from Wal ' lace at midnight last night, and was seen In his office this morning.

A matter of more than local interest here, is the announcement in the Richmond papers that Wilson Hobbs, son of President Hobbe, of Guilford College, and noted as a baseball pitcher, "will play tor the Montreal club In Canada, next season. Speaking of the deal the News-Leader, says: "When Rich mond bought Hobbs, It was with the understanding that he could be re called any. time before August 25th. The locals wilt be paid back their money, Hobbs has made a treat im pression here, leading the local pitch ers in number of games won, and has been handy with the stick. 'The many friends and admirers of the elongated twlrler will regret he is to leave Rich mond, and will wish him success in his broader field next year," r v Mr. A. Wayland Cooke, secretary of the local Bar Association, has receiv ed a letter from Judge Justice stating that he has fixed Tuesday of the first week of Rowan .court to settle all cases on appeal from Guilford county and requested that all attorneys be notified. . - V, .

He shut np two ginnles belonging to the lady because they were' scratching up his garden, and refused to deliver them until the damages were paid. Only four lawyers were engaged in the case Messrs Bradshaw and Sherrod for the prosecution and Messrs Scott and Mc Lean for the defense. It was too much of a muddled case for the presiding Justice to decide off hand, so he took an associate. . - '' Boiler Bursts Kills Seven. Speclal to Journal. Houoken, N. J., August 23. The boiler of the steam barge Patterson exploded today, and three men were killed and seven seriously scalded. now on. He is very positive ot the opinion that In any event the new rate 2 1-4 cents will hold good on the North Carolina rallwry, and the Railway, and if the Southern era barransi i the latter railroad its lease to that road may be annulled. The governor will act as the law directs in this matter.

A telephone message to , Revenue Collector Duncan, this morning . from Dur ham, gave the news of a very horrible occurrence, In which four men were shot, one of whom will probably die, the affair being the result of two par ties of revenue, officers and deputy marshals going out on a raid from different points. . One party was sent out by "revenue agent Surber, whose office Is at Greensboro, these men go ing; out from Durham, while the other party composed of Deputy Marshall Jordan and officers Hendricks - and Banks left Raleigh. The object of both was to raid some distilleries In Chatham county, about eight miles from Chapel Hill. In the uncertain light last night the two parties came near together and each demanded that the other should halt and that the men should throw up their hands and surrender, ' This not being done firing began and was quick and accur ate. Deputy Marshal Jordan was shot In the thigh and near the spine, and his injuries are considered fatal. Posseman Banks was wounded, dep uty collector Henry, who was sent out from the Durham office was shot and one other man also. Banks' wound Js In the leg.,That. of: Henry Is not serious. A messenger went to Durham and took the news of the af fair and carried a doctor out to see the injured men. Jordan's wife was at : Panacea Springs near Littleton, and revenue collector Duncan tele graphed" her the news, "so she could go at once to Durham to meet her husband, so she has been taken there by Dr. Adams, who went to where the shooting ocurred. A good many years ago, there was an almost similar oc currence In this State. James R. Jor dan, the worst wounded officer lives at Cary, in this county, and is a mem ber of a well known family here.

He is one of the best informed men in the State on historical events of this common wealth and Is eminently fitted for the work. 1 He has done a great deal, of work for his State although located far away from it One of his recent tasks to index the Colonial and Early State records which will prove of in teresting value to those who 'seek a reference to the books. - In them will be found many thousand -valuable pieces of information. . " ' , Theito was renewed talk today about the now famous railway case and the prospect that there might be an end ot -the fight very quickly so far aa the Southern railway is concerned. There are intimations to the effect but noth ing authoritative Is known. The gov ernor is very firm. It is noted that papers even at distant points are pub lishing pictures of the governor and all sorts ot sketches of his lite and statements about the railway 'fight He had quite an interesting experi ence In New York City. He arrived on the train, and caught a street car of a cross town line; then ..caught another, and so went up to a point, up near the Hoffman house, which was North Carolina"s headquarters during the rate bearing, and then car rying his suit case walked into the hotel la a most democratic fashion. He was the object of great attraction to the New Yorkers and newspaper men swarmed about, him. Ex-Judge Robert M. Winston, told me all about this and the governor's ' very plain fashion of entering New York. Prof Thomas Nelson, who Is In charge of the Textile Department of the Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege, here, tells me that John D.

Now I want to beat this Georgia melon, and make it look like less than 30 cents along side ot our largest one, and I want your assistance in bringing out that largest one. Please he good e- nough to publish these facts, so that the "Down Home" melon growers may help us out and lay all other States in the shade so far as fine melons are concerned.

The canvass in that county in the in terest of prohibition Is very, active and there 4s speaking every night It seems to be the opinion that the sa loons will be driven out Some ot the people in the county desire the legis lature to enact a law giving It prohi bition, but it was thought best to let vote be taken on that question and give the local people an opportunity to see how easily. If they united them selves, they could drive out the sa loons. , ': ' .' - .'. Sheriff Ellington, of Jehwnwi coun ty, . was here today having driven through the country from his home at 8mlthfleld. He says he has seldom seen finer crops of cotton and corn than those In Johnston and that both are superior to those he saw in Wake It was his comment and it that of other observant men wherever crops are well cultivated, the cotton is heav ily fruited this season. The estimate Is made generally in this section that cotton is, Bay three weeks late, and that It is cut off ten per cent by rea son of the bad stand and from 10 to 15 per cent from other causes The acreage everywhere seems to be a bout the same as last year. - If the stand had been perfect and the sea son normal, the crop would have been much larger in amount than last year. Ot this there seems to be no question. As the matter stands the crop will be very far better than the most san gulne grower hoped it would be, say five weeks soi.

A careful examination into the amount ot capt ital invested in new industrial plants or the enlargement of old ones at Greensboro, shows that for seven months of 1907, up to August first, shows the enormous total of $2,132, 000,. While this total Is necessarily lacking in the full amount Invested by reason ot imperfect means ot get ting absolute statistics, It Is approxi mately correct This means, that for every day of the year, new capital . to the extent of $10,500 has been in vested here in creative ' enterprises that give employment at good prices to wage earners, besides greatly en hancing the value of raw material. Mr. J. S. Kuykendall, the admirable secretary of .'the Chamber of Com merce has tabulated the number of deeds for real estate recorded in the Register of Deeds office, for the past sven ' months.
