He is Investigating the Recent Georgia Outrage. Atlanta, Aug. 8.- Ben E. Rich, pres Ident of the Southern States Mission of the Mormon church, with headquarters iu Chattanooga, called on Governor Ciuidk-r in regard to the recent mobbing of Mormon elders in Jasper county. While the Governor has not been ask ed to investigate the mobbing of the elders in Jasier county. President Rich is hims If engaged in getting tip .ill th in formation and evidence possible, the visit to the executive office being inci dental to his work. While talking the matter over with the Governor, President Rich slated that there was lunch feeling against the members and teachers of the Monnoii church liecause the people did not un derstand the mission of the elders and did not conceive of the great work that lay before them. Rich said "The people q the South should not mob our elders on account of conditions of affairs which once ex isted in their church any more than they would like to be illtreated by the people of the North on account of the conditions which once existed in the South. The South had its trouble with the government; they met the govcrn lneiU upon the battlefield and their cause was lost; then the days of recon struction took place. We met otir gov ernment In the courts of our land, our cause was also lost, and now let the dnys of reconstruction take jfacc with us; let our cause be handled by states men, instead of being settled by mob violence." He was asked by a Journal reporter if he intended to withdraw the elder from the State on account of the re cent persecutions and replied: ' "The Bible teaches that all who live godly iu Christ Jesus must expect to meet with persecutions, and I can xee no -reason why the elders of our faith should cease from missionary work on account of the recent outrages." President Rich said his interview with the Governor was very satisfactory iu decd; that he found, him to he a man who was not in sympathy -with law lessness and desired all the people of his State to enjoy the rights and Ulierties guaranteed ,nnto them by the law. His recent proclamation plainly shows that he ia not In sympathy with mob vio lence. . Johannesburg, Ang. 8. The Volksrad has resolved "to send Sir Wilfred M liner a qualified refusal, of his Invitation to participate in the joint conference to consider the. new franchise proposals adopted by the Transvaal government. ANOTHER CALL More Troops Requiredin Philip pines ROOT TO MAKE CALL President McKloly Convinced that the War Must be Closed Before the Presidential Cam paign. Washington, Aug. !-8ecretary Root fnrwtds to close the campaign in the Philippines before the Presidential cam paign opens. The President is tired out with the burden and wants to shift it. When Secretary Alger was in the de partment the President was consulted by Secretary Alger with everything, ami his advice was sought in matters the most trivial. He has now a secretary as self-reliant as any man who has held that position in many years. Thj President's friends say that he intends to leave the management f the Pliilintiiiie cainnaiL'ii entirely to his sec retary. He has made his expectations I Oti inclusive. In portions of Guilford, known to Mr. Root. The President ! Cuicord, Iredell, Rutherford, McD.iw waiits the war closed before the open- j mKi - Mecklenburg counties, where ing of the next raining season, and does amount of rainfall last week was not care particularly how it is done as , 11,jt KufticU-nt. crops suffered from the long as that result is accomplished. The ,..x ceding hot, dry weather of the past means rest largely with Mr. Root. . rv lUylt ,, I1,.t.,1 ,,.,. nhl. ,.rop!s -nr. .ucjMiiiey seemed to tuniK it would be bad politics to call for more troops and wheu filially he was forced to make the call, he made it for ten regi ments only. Now it is almost fcrtain that there will be another call tiefore the December session of Congress. The President has shifted the responsibility, however, and the call will be Root's, not the President's. By degrees the President has learned that all politics are gooil politics which accomplish results, and so if it takes a hundred thousand men to put down the Filipinos before the next spring he will call out that number, the full quota allowed by the act of Congress in providing the pro visional army. Mr. Root has no idea of evading th responsibility that has been placed on him. He has entered upon his task in the most matter-of-fact way and seems careless of any criticism. He is going to tight the war in the Philippines as a business proposition, and what is more, ' he will not permit his policy to be torn ' to pieces ill the cabinet room. He has I already made it distinctly understood that he has no desire to interfere with the finances of the country, and in turn will expect to run his own department. Every member of the administration breathes freerer since Mr. Root to ,k charge. They all seem to feel that there is a master at the helm. He may dis apo'mt them, but he has started well, chiefly by attending to his own business and letting other people's alone, a vir tue not possessed by every member of the president cabinet. ; A CAPTAIN IN TROUBLE He Wants 10 Be Released from Custrdy ,... . on a rrtvoious vuarxc. 'Tlease have me released from custody of sheriff on frivolous charge. Send man to investigate." The above is the copy of a telegram received at the military headquarters here from a captain of a regiment in the North Carolina State Guard. The reply sent to the unfortunate captain was that the department had no authority in the mutter. His misfortune is deplore 1 but his telegram caused no end of amusement. The boys on their return from camp at Moreehad state that one captain brought his company there without any money and with no rations. They were in a sad plight and the question of , sending them back home was seriously j discussed. However, the matter was j arranged by the wise companies, who j had laid in supplies, providing for the members of this company. The captain who desires to be released from custody on a frivolous charge is doubtless the j same one who led his men into the Morehend camp with the probable ex pectation that they would be provided . for by manor from on high. A gentleman arrived in Raleigh this afternoon and says that Capt. Belton of the Mount Airy company, has been ar rested for drawing a gun on a negro, j lie conld not give a $100 bond and was ! sent to jail. A petition is being circu lated there to get him out, but as yet Is unsuccessful. I LEVY FOR TAXES. The finnnce committee and the city tax collector are determined to perform their sworn duty faithfully. Several favies have recenly been made un person al property for back taxes.. It is not pleasant work, but Tax Collector Lums den has no option in the matter. It la said that three grocery delivery wagons have recently been levied for back taxes. ' -; COTTON.

JUDGE McRAE He is Highly Recommended for Univer sity Law School. To the Editor: Prominent among those mentioned to fill the vacancy now xisting in the University' Law School I see the name of Hon. James O. Mac- Rae of this city. It seems to me that no better man could be selected out of the lawyers of the State to fill this most responsible position. His attain ments in the law, his long and varied experience as a practitioner 'and his emi nent services upon the Superior and Su preme Court benches, are too well knbwn to the people of the State to be ex tensively referred to here. But some thing more than a profound lawyer ia needed to fill the important position in connection with which Judge MacRae is mentioned. Besides a profound knowl edge of the law, a strict honesty; schol- '- arly tastes; a kindly, genial fan, one who will take a -ersonal interest in each student who comes under his direction these are the essentials which must meet in the professor of law at the University. Judge MacRae combines all these qualities in the high-toned, Chris tian gentleman that he is. One hag bnt to know him to love him, tnd the ex- cutire committee can render no greater service to the young men of the State than by selecting Judge MacRae to guide them, not only in legal lore, bat to the making of ' North Carolina citi zens that will be a credit to their State and country.
