"What's the matter? ' Where were you?" cried Dick, when at last Le strange crossed" the course to the cen tral field. "The cars are going; out now tor the preliminary run. Rupert's nearly crazy, snarling at every bod), and the other man has been getting ready to start instead of you." "Well, he can get unready," smiled Lestrange. "Keep cool, Ffrench; I've got half an hour and I could start now. I'm ready." He was ready; elad in the close-fitting khaki costume whose immaculate daintiness gave no hint of the cer tainty that before the first six hours ended it would be a wreck of yellow dust and oil As he paused in run ning an appraising glance down the street-like row of tents,' the white clothed driver of a spotless white car shot out on his way to the track, but halted opposite the latest arrival to stretch a cordial hand. "I hoped a trolley car had, bitten you," he shouted. "The rest of us would have more show if you got lost on the way, Darling."

"He's here," announced Dick super fluously. "Rupert Where's Rupert? Don't tell me he's gone now I Le strange " t . ' : But Rupert was already emerging from the. tent with Lestrange's gaunt lets and cap, his expression a study in the sardonic. , "It hurts me fierce to think how you must have hurried," he observed. "Did you walk both ways, or only all three? I'm no Eve, but I'd give a snake an apple to know where you've been all day." " "Would you?" queried Lestrange provoklngly, clasping the goggles be fore his eyes. "Well, I've spent the last two hours on the Coney Uland beach, about three squares from here, watching the kiddies play in the sand. I dldnt feel like driving just then. It was mighty soothing, too." Rupert stared at him, a dry un willing smile slowly crinkling his dark face. ' ; -.-. " . , "Maybe, Darling," he drawled, and turned to make his own preparations. , Fascinated and useless, Dick looked on at the methodical flurry of the next few moments; until Lestrange, was in his seat and'Rupert swung In beside him.

It was not many times that th cars could circle the track. Quarter of six blew from whistles and klax ons, signal flags sent the cars to their camps for th last time before the race. . . ,' ,-, ... "Come her," Lestrange beckoned to Dick, as he brought his machine shuddering to a standstill before the tent "Here, close we've got a mo ment while they fill tanks."

Respectfully, M. N. HARRIETT. Simmons la First Primary : The concensus of opinion seems to be that the removal of ex Governor Ay cock by death from the senatorial race operates to render certain Senator Sim mon' nomination for the United States senate in th first primary. This is th opinion expressed by shrewd, and ob servant Democrats from all sections of the State, and especially from Wayne county and the-tbird congressional dis trict, and from th west, .Mr. Aycock was the only wan who could possibly have divided th 'West seriously with Simmons, and with the ex-Governor out of the race, the Stat west of Ral eigh is practicslly a unit for th Sena tor. Men from Greensboro, who take part in politic", say .that Mr. Simmons will even carry Guilford county and th fifh districts Kitchin's old congresaioaal district. Kitchin's' speech at Greens boro see mi to have operated against him in a great degree. And tb great majority of the Aycock vote will oatur ally go to th Senator. who was his warm personal friend, and who stood shoulder to shoulder with tb ex Gov ernor, and led the whit people of this State In th most serious criris sine tha Civil War, Aycock ?nd Simmons led in the sama period and were assort atd with the, same political leaders aoTorganltaiJoo. and it follows that the Senator shall (all heir to th sx Governor's strength.

' New York, April 19, -The Cunsrd liner Carpathis, a ship of gloom and succor, came into New Bork last night. with first news direct from the great White Star liner Titanic, which sank off the Grand Banks of New Found land early on Monday morning last f The great liner went down with her band playing, taking with her to death all but 745 other human cargo of 2,340 oula.

The list of prominent men missing stands as pre viously reported, and the total death list as brought to port by the Oarpathia is 1.601. V ; Survivor in lifeboat huddled in the darkness at a safe distance from the stricken ship and saw her go down. As to the scene on board when the liner struck, accounts disagree widely, Tome maintain- that, a comparative calm prevailed, others say that wild disorder broke out and that there was a mania ca! struggle for the lifeboats. That the liner struck an iceberg as reported by wireless was confirmed by all. , - ; Sensational rumors told by hysterical passengers who would not give their! names said that Captain Smith had kill ed himself on the bridge; that the chief eng;neer had taken his life and that three Italians were shot in the struggle for the boats. -' These rumors could not be confirmed in the early confusion attendant on the landii.g of the survivors. ; .

' ' New York, April 20. -Cotton has ad vanced steadily during the past week, owing to much the same factors as in previous weeks, viz; heavy rains, es pecially in the Eastern ' section of th belt well nigh universal . reports of a much-delayed season, fears that tba crop will get a late start and that a yield of the necessary site ia . out of question, and finally V the admitted strength of the spot situation. To this most be added the uneasiness oacasion- . ed by the high water in the lower Mis sissippi river and reports Of the serioua breaks in the levees of the Mississippi river and reports of . serious breaks in tbe levees of the Mississippi delta. ' ' The spot markets have been steadily rising. What is more, the spot scales st Liverpool, which for many week under the paralyzing influence of th recent English coal strike, were very , small, however, suddenly rising to their . old-time generous proportions. In fact. tbe daily total of the late crop has been from 10,000 to 14,000 bales. Mean while at Manchester prices for yarn and clotb have been very firm. In thi country, too, , cotton goods have met with a brisk sale'at rising prices. - '' -Of late, Liverpool, New Orleans and Memphis have been buyers here. Spin ners have been buying on a noticeably larger scale. The consumption .'may this season reach the enprecedented total of 5,750,000 bales. - Tbe speculation has been larger and more excited than at any time for many weeks past Prices have steadily risen to new high levels. Large spot inter ests have been buying and so at times have Waldorf-Astoria people. At times bull support has been necessary, but on the whole the market bas absorbed of ferings with a readiness a hich bas ex cited ceneral remarks.. Very favorable crop reports have been received from Texas and also from parts of the East-' ern belt. It is maintained by not a few. that there is still time taplantand raise another big crop. The best reports have come from Texas, Arkansas; and Geor gia. It ia believed that on: advancing prices like those recently . witnessed, there is very little likelihood of any serious reduction in the acreage. On the contrary, it is believed by many 'hat the cotton areas of Texas will bs considerably increased. ' Others contend that the consumption is being over-es- ' timated and that an unusually big stock will be carried over into next Beason to offset any possible decrease, beyond tbis year. But the persistent wet weather and floods have delayed field work and planting, and on dimands big buying' orders have been encountered.
