According td Mr, Post, the law au

The reason la that Biddle is a State

at the instance of Morehead during the

The fight has been a hard one be

Attempt Of Italy To Grab Tripoli
Kile The Ottoman
Empire.
Vienna, Sept. 26. All - Turkey is
fighting mad. The attempt of Italy to
seize Tripoli has awakened the country
to the fact that she must fight to main
tain her territory, and all classes of
Turks are rallying to the support of the
Government. . ;
All of the reserves have been sum
moned to the colors, and the order ex
pelling all Italians from Turkish terri
tory is in the hands of the Premier,
signed by the Sultan, ready to be is
sued as soon as it is certain' war must
come.
The Turkish commanding officers have
been instructed to place all of their
commands on a war footing. Advices
received here say that if Itsly invades
the fighting will be most bitter, and
unless Italy is able to land mo -e troops
than the early reports indicate her com
menders think will be needed to conquer
and retain Tripoli they are Hkely to be
overwhelmed.
J No confirmation is as yet obtainable
of the report that the Navigazione
Generalo Italiana'a steamer Regina
Margherita has been seised by Turkish
officials at Mersina, Asia Minor, but
the report is acceptod as true in Gov
ernment circles here:
Italy's attempt to acqoira Tripoli by
sheer strength has caused alarm here
and in most of the capitals of Europe.
It is feared that it will open anew the
Mediterranean problem just at a time
when it seemed certain that it was to
be settled.
There are 60,000 Italians' in Turkey
and their financial interests are very
large. Th' Porte, it is understood here
has sent a curt message to Italy saying
all private property will be considered
subject to seizure if any1 armed Italian
force shall land at Tripoli. ;
Constantinople,. Sejit: 26 The First
Army Corps is being mobilized for em
barkation to Tripoli to reinforce the
80,000 Turkish troops already , there in
readiness to oppose an Italian seizure
of the colony.

Niw Cotton Picker.
Mr. C. W. Godwin, of Raleigh, has
invented a cotton picking machine
which is prenounced a success.
The cotton is picked by a rotating
and reciprocating finger and conveyed
by a fan to a sack. It requires one
man to each picker, and with two men
at work either four or five rows of cot
ton can be picked clean, as the cart
moves forward.
The man opeiating the picker simply
places the mouth against ' the boll and
the cotton is twisted from it and with
in the wink of the eye, it is in the sack
The picker refused to take leaves or
trash and only seizes the cotton, pick
ing the boll clean and doing this so rap
idly that the capacity of the picker is
only to be measured by the quick time
in which a man can move fro n boll to
boll. With two men at work
1 nt week, neither of them having used
the machine before, cotton was picked
at the rate of one hundred pounds an

Millinery Opening at J. M. Mitchell
S Company's Store.
. Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock the
doois of J. M. Mitchell & Company's
store were thrown open to admit the
immense crowd of ladies who hid come
to view the elaborate and extensive d's-
play of Fall and Winter, millinery and
also the large and varied line of dry
goods which was recently purchased on
the northern markets by the firm's buy
er. ' ; ' ,
From the opening of the doors until
10 o'clock last evening the scene in the
store was ooe of activity. Hundreds of
ladies visited the establishment during
th-s day and inspected the displav, and
were profuse in their praise and with
out the least doubt it was the mr-st suc
cessful opening in the firm's long care
er, , ' .
Miss Johnson, tSe head milliner, won
the admiration of the visitors by her
cordiality; showing them the entire
line of millinery hundreds of times dur
ing the day and much of the success of
the event is due her, . :- '.
The store had been attractively dec
orated for the ocraiion and the scene
was indeed one of splendor. Hidden
away in the rear was an orchestra and
tho strans of music from this," inter-
mingled with the songs of a number of
canaries which bad been secured eapec
ally for this event, made the occasion
one long to be remembered.
To enumerate the large number of
beau'.iful hats that were on display
wouiu tase several columns or npace,
but It Is nsedless to say 'ha exhibit was
complete in every detail. Hats of all sis
es, from the small he'met-shaped cre
ation to the large hats closely resemb

borough, and the trimmings have never
before leen equaled. The prevailing
fashion tnts season is tor -. small snapea
and the majority of those on display
were of this order.
In tbe dry goods department were
found all of the latest dress goods, rib
bons and the hundreds. of other acces-
soriea that are deir to feminine hearts,
In fact this department of the store has
never before been as complete as it is

Kansas Speech s That Will

Hutchinson, Kan., Sept. 27 There
was nothing political about President
m -,, "UK ,u c..;.- v ...
Tuft's speech at the Kansas State Fair
here yesterday.
A dissertation on the history of Kan
sas and a brief appreciation of Repre
sentative E. H. Madison, whosd death
last week seriously oppreased the I'res
ident, were his messages to the insti
gency of Kansas in the biggest sponch
he was scheduled to deliver during hiu
visit here. None of the big issues of
the day were mentioned, nd an acade
mic discussion of the troubles of 'Bleed
ing Kansas' in the turbulent times of
the slavery struggle occupied practical
ly all of the President's address.
In expressing him grief at the death
of Judge Madison the President said:
"dig death was a great shock to me.
I had not known his long, nor can I say
that I knew him inti nately, but I knew
him well, enough to know the strong
qualities of his mind and heart, his judi
cial instinct, his intense desire to be
fair, his clear perception - of tho law us
a jurist and his level-headedness as a
legislator. I extend to his family and
to his friends my profound sympathy
in their deep sorrow, and hope that the
memory of his high standing among his
fellow-citizens and the valuo of the ser
vice he renflered to them may in ti.ne
mitigate the sorrow that has fallen on
them."
He spoke of the circumstances in
which Kansas entered the Union, the
bloody guerilla warfare that racked her
just prior to the Civil War and her
economic history up' to the present
time. He then made a detailed statis
tical revi of the advance of the
State's prosperity.

Dr. Wiley on the Value of Cottonseed
Oil.
In these days when so much is being
said about the purity of food products,
and the health fulness of different foods
it is refreshing to hear what the great
authority. Dr. Wiley, bai to say about
cottonseed oil and its pro luct.
The quotation given is from an ad
dress Dr. Wiley made before the Inter
state Crushers' Association in New
York last June.
"You have a meritorious article, you
have learned h iw to purify it and make
it palatable anl attractive, an 1 you
have everything now but the confidence
of the public mid the knowledge on the
part of the consumer how to me your
product. Put a little effort in that line,
and you will see what wonderful re
turns you will have. I do not believe
there is a man, woman or child in this
country, if the consumption of cotton
seed oil was common today throughout
this broad land, but what would have
better health and be a better judge of
what ia good to eat, and be happier, by
reason of his better health, than he i
tcday. eo I am pleading for the ben. tit
of the puhlic, I am pleading for a wid
er publicity of your product, for cotton

From that hour until the evening of the

and to the purifying of his soul by re
pentance. It wilt be a day spent by
him in meditation and prayer, with no

was celebrated in Biblical times. The
holy day on the tenth day of Tishri was
observed by abstention from food and
drink and by an elaborate ceremonial in
w ich the high priest waa the central
figure. He besought forgiveness for his
own sins and those of his own house
hold, then for those of the wider house
hold of priests, then for all the people.
Of two goats, he slaughtered one as a
sacrifice "for the Lord" and set the
other aside "for AaazeL" The blood
of the sacrifices he sprinkled Upon, tho
curtain of the Holy of Holies, to puri
fy it from the sins of the people. .
. From this Biblical ceremonial which
throughout seeks for forgiveness of the
community as a whole, the Day of
Atonement has been somewhat changed
iu Rabbinic Judaism and in the modern
service and emphaaizea also repentance
and personal prayer for the forgiveness
of each individual sinning soul. It com
pletes the penitential period of ten days
that had begun with the New Year's
Day. .:-;;.vv
' The celebration of the Day of Atone-:
ment begina in the synagogue with tho
evening aervice, called Kol Nidre from
its opening formula, which refers to
voas concerning the indivinual and his
conscience. With its strongly marked
melodies and songs, this service as
sumed in the course of time a very im
pressive character. Throughout the
following day a continue us aeries of
services is held, which toward the mid
dle of the afternoon is htigl teoed in
impressiveness by a most solemn com
memorative service for the dead. This
is followed by the Neilah or closing ser
vice in which tbe main ideas of the day
are especially emphasieed; repentance
eondi Jon ing forgiveness and God's seal
ing the decree of man for the ensuing
year, 1 he service ends with a solemn
invocation of God'a name, the Shema
and the seven-fold exclamation, "The
