Mr. George Vanderbilt is now the
largest landholder in North Carolina.
He has just purchased 08,000 acres of
mountain land in Henderson and

Editor Goslin, of the Winston Re

attend the meeting of the republican
state committee in Raleigh on the 30th
inst., called by Maj. H. L. Grant, of
Goldsboro, for the purpose of con
furring with the populists looking to
fusion. Mr. Goslin says he don't be'
lieve in fusion, therefore he will not
come to Raleigh,, and wants other re
publicans to follow his example.
Maj. Graham Daves writes to the
Newbern Journal as follows: "Your
suggestion of the adoption by the city
of Raleigh of the colors (white and
red) of Sir Walter Raleigh, is very
good and appropriate. It would also
be very appropriate and in excellent
taste If our capital city would adopt
for its coat of arms and seal the coa
of arms and motto of Sir Walter, in
honor of whom the city is named.'

A National Park In North Car
olina.
The next meeting of the North Car
olina florists' association will be at
Newbern next February, during the
he fair. Several members of the as
sociation will attend the meeting of
the society of American florists, at At-
antic City, August 21 to preseut the
Itoan inotiuttin national park proposi
tion. Ill is is that the government
shall purchase that mountain for a
national park. There seems no doubt
it will meet with favor there, and will
eventually be held in proper shape
before Congress. The summit of
R iaii mountain is not quite so eleva
ted as that of the Black, but the view
therefrom is the least obstructed and
the finest of any mountain view east
the Rockies and more varieties of trees
ai'e growing there than in the same
ar a anywhere in the country.
A Devil Fish Tows a Boat.
A singular adventure befell A. M.
Guthrie while he was engaged in fish
ing at Southport. His boat, at anchor,
suddenly began to move, then to rush
through the water at the rate of five
r six miles an hour, dragged by some
invisible marine monster. Guthrie
pulling on his anchor rope felt some-
hing clear itself from his anchor,
md his boat stopped in its mysteri
ins rush through the water. An el
imination showed the anchor fluke to
)e dented and the anchor rope cov
ered with slime. It was no doubt a
monster devil fish which caught the
inchor rope. Several such cases have
)een known on the Florida coast.

News Notes from Durham.
Dr. Boddie, health officer of Dur
ham, and Dr. Manning, county physi
cian, have been making tours of in
spection in Durham, and have discov
ered what appears to be an epidemic
form of typhoid fever in certain dis
tricts. The Globe says they report
some of the private sewers in an un
healthy condition, and have advised
the town authorities to order all water
closet sewers not connected with some
pipe that leads out of town to be
closed until November 1.

DEBS RIDES IN A PULLMAN
: CAR.
Strange Inconsistency of the President of
the A. R. U.
Chicago, July 27. President Debs
of the A. R. U. went to Terre Haute,
Ind., his home, late this afternoon.
The singular part of it is that he
went in a Pullman palace car. He
was accompanied by his wife and sister-in-law.
He was accompanied to
the station by a brass band and about
1,000 adherents to the cause, all of
whom wore white ribbons on their
lapels. The procession was led by
four policemen. By whose orders
they went is not known, but the fact that
they went was not very agreeable to the
business men who saw the turnout,
and their language was calculated to
make mayor Hopkins' ears tingle. At
the station Debs and his family went
at once to the train and boarded a
Pullman sleeper. The procession
marched back two or three blocks' and
disbanded. .

CHINA AND J .PAN.
The War Is on Now-Many Chi
nese Killed.
Siuxmivr, July 27. Chinese trans
ports siiuk off the Cores n const by
Japanese ships belonged Jto a fleet of
11 steamers which sailed from Taku
July 20, with 12.000 troops. The fleet
left Taku under escort of eight gun
boats. The transports proceeded slow
ly with the gun boats while the faster
ones steamed at full speed so as to
land their troop- as soon as possible.
On the transport which arrived first
at the Cores n .ist were a few hun
dred soldiers fi -:u the Chinese "army
of the north;" most of the force, how
ever, consisted of coolies with inferior
firearms or merely bows and arrows.
The attack upon the steamers from
the Japanese guns was begun by a
lapanese battery on the shore, while
the Chinese officers were trying to de
bark their men from the first steamer.
The cruisers then steamed up and
opened fire on all the transports
which were lying there, waiting to
discharge the men. The Chinese were
unable to make any effective resist
ance. They were thrown into great
confusion and thousands jumped over
board to escape the hot fire under
which the transports suffered severely.
A Japanese cruiser sighted one trans
port the Kow Shnng, ran within easy
range and signaled the transport to
put back. The transport continued
steaming ahead, and the cruiser fired
a shot across her boats. No attention
being paid to this, the Japanese
cruiser opened fire in earnest, put a
number of shots into her, and the
transport sank with all hands. The
number of people drown is not known,
but it is believed that there must, have
been about a thousand Chinese sol
diers on board.
Corea is a peninsula, virtually form
ing part of China, and down this penin-
Kiila f'om the north China can and
will, if necessary, pour army after
army, until she drives the Japanese
into the sea. Japan is able, no doubt,
to defend herself in her own territory
against any invasion upon the j part
of China should such a step be con
templated. But nobody here believes
that China will make any such at
tempt. She will, it is said, concentrate
army after army, land them in Corea
if possible, and if she is unable to do
this she will march them from the
north into Corea uutil by sheer force.
of numbers the Japanese will gh',' ,
way. .
Good Words for the South.
The Manufacturers' Record, of Bal
timore, this week publishes a num
ber of letters from leading bankers
and others in regard to the effect upon
the south of its comparative freedom
from labor troubles during the late
strikes and its hearty indorsement of
the action of the president in using the
army to suppress rioting. Not since
1800, it is said, has the south been so
highly regarded by the business men
of the north. In one week it has con
quered prejudices and broken down
sectional barriers more completely
than it had been able to do in the last
twenty-five years.

Novelty In Oranges.
Blood oranges are now prepared ar
tificially. They are even richer in fia
vor than the regulation red orange
of nature. An ordinary orange is
punctured and a small quantity of
California claret is injected in by
means of a powerful syringe. The
wine is drawn up into the pulp of the
fruit by means of the capillary at
traction and gives the orange the
deep-red so admired by connoisseurs.
Shocking Suicide of a Boy.
Joseph Cohen, aged sixteen years,
shot himself through the head at Bal
timore Thursday evening. To render
death more certain, before firing the
shot he placed himself on the track
before a moving train, the engine
of which struck him in the back as he
fell, and almost severed his head from
his body. Death was instantaneous No
reason can be assigned for the deed.
The boy is said to hare been of good
habits, with a cheerful and bright dis
position. Torbell's eream cheese at
