Special to theJournal. Raleigh, Oct. 24, The Democratic State Committee ruled tonight that ,one may scratch the Democratic ticket and yet vote in the Senatorial primary, but it also ruled that in the place of the candidate scratched no other name can be " inserted whether of Democrat, Republican, Bull Moose, Socialist, Pro hibitionist or what not. J:.-'P"'j .;.., The text of the resolution is:. ': - "Resolved that it is the opinion- of the committee that the words "Demo cratic Ticket" as usedln the fourth and tenth rules governing the Senatorial primary adopted by the State conven tion' shall be construed to permit any elector who shall 'have voted for nomi nees of the Democratic Rarty only and who shall not have voted for any candi date or any ticket in opposition to the Democratic ticket to 'vote in said pri mary."; . ' .' This resolution was offered by A. W. McLean of Lumberton. Several other resolutions were offered, but all were voted down. The committee met at eight and was in session until 11:50. , RULES WITH RAILROADS Several weeks ago the citizens of Wilson presented a petition to the Corporation Commission asking it to compel the .. Norfolk Southern 'and Atlantic Coast Line Railrway Com panies to erect a union station at that Place. After consideration the Com mission has dismissed the petition on the ground that the Norfolk Southern has-an adequate station within two blocks of that of the Atalntic Coast Line, and that the burden of erecting 'such a station would fall too heavily on the Norfolk Southern, which only a few years ago spent a great deal of money in entering Wilson. f DELAYS DUE TO WAITING ON CONNECTIONS. Editor Journal: I notice with a great deal of surprise that Thursday's Journal states that: "Recently the trains ' arriving in New Bern have been running far ...from schedule time owing to delays caused by breakdowns 'and accidents to the locomotives." ; It is true that a few of these delays have been caused by engine failures but such delays have been very few. The delays you Preferred to are usually attributable to the fact that we wait upon .connections at Goldsboro in order that our New Bern people may get home on our train. , , ; I will, thank you, therefore, to give this correction the same prominent space in your paper as that occupied by your statement Thursday morning. . V Yours truly, : '-, ... VIRGIL WALKER, .;. Superintendeat TO ASSIST THE SEMINOLE.

Gabbitt Makes Ezplana- tion Regarding Treatment Accorded Passengers The revenue cutter Pamlico, which left ' this port Tuesday afternoon en route to Lookout Cove with a cargo of coal for the cutter Seminole, which has the past few days been fighting the fire drKthe steamer Berkshire, re turned Wednesday night. The Berk shire and the Seminole are now safe in nchorage behind Cape Lookout. . The Seminole flooded every .compartment of : the Berkshire, both fore and aft, up to the main deck. It will be an easy matter for the : wrecking tugs, which were sent to the scene from NorJ folk, to raise the vessel. The Berkshire lies in deep water but without a list. Much of the cargo will be undamaged. Lieutenant Gabbitt', who was in charge of the Pamlico in the absence of Captain West, yesterday stated that the Seminole's crew had worked con tinuously since the arrival on the scene and were fagged out. He said that following the explosion on the vessel Monday morning the passengers were. taken aboard the Seminole and placed on one of the upper decks where they would not be in the way of the crew, who were at work fighting the flames, and that the men on the Seminole had but little time to pay any at tention to them at all, that but for the the fact that the lower decks were cleared for action and all the men hard at work the rescued passengers would have been taken down below decks, fed and given dry clothing. Under the exigencies of the occasion, Lieut. Gab bitt explained, there was nothing that the Seminole's crew could do for the Berkshire's passengers more than they did do. (Lieut.-Gabbitt desired this explanation made as an interiew with one of the Berkshire's passengers pub lished in the Journal yesterday mold ing mentioned the cold comfort th; the passengers of the Berkshire saceived on the Seminole without stating that the Sentinel's crew defended their course on the ground that they had no time or facilities at the monent to look after the comfort of the Berkshire's passen gers.) ) The Seminole will remain by the Berkshire' until the flames are com pletely-extinguished and will render all possible aid. MUSICAL COMEDY FOR WEEK ...... OF FAIR Messrs. Lovick and Taylor, managers of the Athens theatre, have secured Frank Lamont's, big musical comedy company as an added attraction during the .week of. the Fair. This company is now playing at Athens, Ga., and will come direct from that city to New Bern. There are ten people in the company and it is declared by the management to be the best musical comedy company on the road ' this season. , . THOUSANDS KILLED IN BATTLE OF KIRKKILISSA London, Oct.. 25 The Turks and the Balkans allies-sent out conflicting reports today concerning the progress of the battle of Kirkkilissa. ... The Turkish version was that the Bulgarians had been driven back across the frontire and that 30,000 Bulgarians troops were routed and fled in disorder at Mara. The Bulgarians maintained that they have met with an interrupted series of successes, taking Turkish de fense after defense in the face of a fur ious resistance. On one point both accounts agreed that thousands have been killed. Estimates of actual figures, however, were very vague. v THIRD OF FARMS MORTGAGED Iowa And Wisconsin properties Carry Heaviest Indebtedness. Washington, Oct. 24, One-third of the farms of the United States are mort gaged, according to a bulletin issued by the " Census Bureau. This,, bulletin shows that in 1910 the total number of farms operated by owners and mort gaged was 1,327,430, while 2,621,283 were reported free from mortgage. The average amount of mortgage indebted ness per farm increased from $1,244 in 1890 to $1,715 in 1910..but the average value per farm increased- from $3,444J to $6,289, which shows that the owner': equity doubled. The value of the farms and buildings which were mortgaged was placed $6,330,000,000, while the amount of mortiraecs was $1,726,000,000, or 27 per cent, of the value. The proportion of mortgaged indebt edncss is higher in Iowa and Wisconsin than In any other States, and yet these States are among the most prosperous in agriculture. ;.... SACK OF WHISKEY! ON BACK Richard Edwards- In Jll at Kins ton Awaiting Hearing Before U. S. Commissioner. Late Thursday afternoin near Beu lahsville, Duplin county, fteputy Col lector; Cameron, assisted by Deputy Marshals Samuel Lilly, Fagan and Wood, located and . destroyed a fifty gallon stil 1, several barrels of beer, one barrel of whiskey and a iarrel of mo lasses and.captured a whlife man named Richard Edwards who . &as supposed to be operating the plant.-, . The revenue officers $e(t 'Kinston early in the day in a large touring car and arrived in the locality shortly be fore noon. Believing that the. still was located near a certain place they at once began a search and soon ran across it.' The plant was in full operation, and Edwards, the man captured, was found with a sack containing several gallons of whiskey slung -across his shoulder and going toward the town. Although the man was armed with an automatic shotgun he made no effort to resist, realizing that he stood no chance. After cutting up the still and destroy ing airof the beer and whiskey except a small quantity reserved as evidence, the officers placed their prisoner in the automobile and returned to Kinston where he wasplaced in jail to await a preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner Foftin, which will be held today. For more than twenty years the revenue omcers have not raiaea that section and it is believed that illicit distilling has been flourishing there for some time. In the last raid made in that section revenue i officer named Rhodes shot and killed one of the blockaders who had been captured and was endeavoring to make h'j escape. A TALKER VS. DOER. Editor Journal: In your last Saturday's issue you had an editorial on the gubernatorial con test in New York in which you made plain certain principles that are just as applicable at this time to the Sen- atrotal contest in Worth Carolina as they are to the contest for the Gover norship of New York. To quote your own words, these principles are as fol lows: "It is the man who DOES THINGS that gets the support of the discrimi- inatune voter. People who look at things superficially may be guided by other considerations, but not those who aremoved by reason and common sense In the editorial from which the pre ceding sentence was taken, you quote an illustrative incident narrated by Rabbi Korn in one of his speeches. Although a wealthy, popular and influential Jew, Mr. Straus, is at the head of the Progressive ticket in New York' the great Rabbi Korn is zealously working for the Democratic nominee, Sulzer, a Gentile. A fellow Jew asked Rabbi Korn how he could do this when he had an opportunity to work for one of his own people. The great Rabbi promptly replied: "When we" Jews protested against Russia's discrimination against us in the matter of passports. Brother Straus TALKED but did nothing. Neighbor. Sulzer SMASHED THE TREATY WITH RUSSIA. Therefore I am for the 'neighbor' who is near rather than the 'brother' who is FAR OFF." . . - .- ' In other words Straus "talks" but Sulzer "acts"," and when he acts he ''does things". And more than that the things that he doe are the things that the people want done; and the Rabbi is for the man who - does things in. preference to the man who "talks' but does nothing. In the North Carolina Senatorial contest no one will deny that one of the candidates is great in "talk, especially in talking about what poor sticks some other Democrats are, and about the wonderful things he mmseli is going to do."' ' : - Another one of the Senatorial candi dates is a man of sufficient calibre to be modest, although he is a man who "does things'Vwho does great things. There t no need to call any name The entire State knows which is which and the "discriminating voter is now well on to. which candidate is the "talker," and which is the man that "docs things"; and not only does things but who does the very things that North Carolina wants done,' and on election day the North Carolina "dis criminating voter" will likely put in ballots nough for Simmons, the man that "does things" to enable him to keep on "doing things doing the things in the future that. North Caro lina wants done, as he always has in the past. "So may it be." " C, T. Hancock. . J. Rouse, Judge Gulon and others Urge Re-Election of the Seniro Senator. The big barbecue and Democratic peaking in behalf of Senator Simmons yesterday at Dougherty's chapel, near Dover, was well attended and was a big success in every way. Quite a number of local citizen wsre present and assisted' in the exercises and therre also a number from Kinston and other points. . . - - " : Upon their arrival at Dover the visitors were carried in automobiles to the grounds at once. There they were met by a committee and welcomed. Mr. D. W. Richardson, of Dover, was master of ceremo.nics and he intro-, duced the speakers. Mr. N. J. Rouse of Kinston, was the first speaker and held his audience spellboumd for two hours, explaining the political issues of the day and advocating Sen ator Simmon's re-election to the United States Senate. He was followed by Messrs. Owen H. Guion, Jas. A. Bryan, of this city and M. D. Lane, of Fort Barnwell, all of whom made short but very interesting talks. At the conclusion of the speaking the visitors were invited over to the large tables which had been biiilt at one end of the grounds and which- were loaded with the most tempting viands. Sher iff J. W.-Biddle, of this city, sat at the head of the table and invoked the bles sings of the Almighty. In addition to to many other things there were eight unifred pounds of crisp, juicy barbecue. After the repast had been cleared away the crowd began to lea,ve, those who cane from a distance being brought by autonui&Ucs to Dover, where they boarded thii vain. EGIYPTAN TENOR ARRIVES.

RIDICULES "PANIC BUG. Bryan Says the Republicans Spring the Scare Every Ottober. Wilmington, Del., Oct. 24. William ennings Rryan spoke here last- Bight; the address concluded a speech-making tour through Eastern Pennsylvania and Deleware. Ten thousand persons assembled at Tenth and Market streets, where an open-air meeting was scheduled. Real izing that the crowd could not get int Turn Hall, the substitute meeting place, Mr. . Rryan braved the elements and spoke for 25 minutes in a heavy rain. Men, women and children to the num ber of about 5,000 remained and heard him. Many of them were without umbrellas and were thoroughly drench ed.' He was then driven to Turn Hall, where he made an address of 35 minutes. Three thousand persons were packed in the building. At both places Mr. Bryan dwelt upon national topics. He said if Roosevelt regarded himself as a Moses he must heve mistaken the voice of Perkins for the voice of God. This. caused great laughter. A heavy rain prevented a big open-air meeting which had been planed. On his trip through this State he was accompanied by Willard Saulisbury, National-Committeeman; Thomas.. F Bayard, State Chairman and Thomas M. Monoghan, candidate for Governor, and others. At sSeaford fully 6,000 person from all parts of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia flocked there to here the Com moner explain the fundamental princi ples of Democratic government and give to the Delaware voters the remedy j to destroy the "panic bug." which he declared, is given life the middle of October by the Republican party and dies the day before election. "The Republicans," he said, "always refer to panic times. Did they ever tell you about the panics of 1873 and 1907? These occurred under strictly Republi can rule. We had a Republican Presi dent, a Republican Senate and House of Representatives and were governed by "Republican laws." , lie ridiculed the threats of panics in the event of the election of Governor Wilson to the Prcsidencty and urged upon his hearers the importance of voting the straight Democratic ticket not only on national issues but State as well. - - MUSIC AND SHORT ADDRESSES Earnest Effort to be Made to Get Large Classes for Page ' Rank For Meetings.

Mr. Charles H. Hix, now of the Sea- board Air Line, has been made president of the Norfolk Southern Railroad. succeeding E. T. Lamb, who resigned some months ago to go with a road in Georgia. It is said that he will receive a salary of $25,000 a year. The news of the appointment of Mr. Hix and of his acceptance of the post was made public Friday when John Skelton Williams, a leading figure in Seaboard Line affairs, said: ' - The Norfolk Southern is to be con gratulated in its choice, and I have no doubt that Mr. Hix will richly earn the. handsome salary of $25,000 per annum, which it is reported he is to ' receive in his new position." V 1 Mr. Hix was formerly wiht the Sea board Line and in this connection Mr Williams says: i v, "In securing the services of Charles H. Hix as its president, the Norfolk Southern Railway gets one of the ablest and most skillful railroad : operators in this country, while the Seaboard loses the man who, morethan any other ' in its service, has beeninstrumental in ' securing for the Seaboard the excellent results which have been achievd since the receivership. It was also largely due to Mr. Hix's ability, skill and thor ough knowledge of theSeaboard system, and of the territorythrough which it operates, that the receivers of this property, in 1908 and 1909, were able to lift the road out of the condition of jruin and demoralization into which it had drifted under the management of men who had been imported into the property from the outside, and place it on a sound and paying basis. Mr. Hix Btarted in the railroad ser vice as a rod man, of the Norfolk & Western in 1880. Later he was an assistant agent and operator, then train dispatcher, moving on up until at the time of his appointment as head of the Norfolk Southern he was vice-president and general manager of the Seaboard. His service with the Norfolk Southern commences Nov. 1. . f MRS. RYAN QUITS WASHINGTON Washington, Oct. 24. -Mrs. Thomas Fortune Rran, who has maintained a home in Washington for some years has given it up and is shaking the dust of the Capital from her feet permanently- Mrs. Ryan has taken no part in society life in Washington and when obliged to return calls she has created consternation by having on her visiting ' cards the words "Mrs. Ryan neither receives nor makes visits." Mr. Ryan has spent little of his time' here making only hurried visits to his Washington home in the winters. This home is the former residence of the late Harriett Lane Johnson, at 1739 I street. - After Mrs. Ryan purchased the place from the heirs of Mrs. Johnston she built a beautiful little chapel into the house for her private use where Cardinal Gibbons and prominent Catholic priests . have officiated at services. Mrs. Ryan always expressed her love for this home and it is a matter of surprise to all her who know her that she is giving it up. She . was for formerly Miss Ida. M.
