The News says: "Reeectly a statement was published that Roosevelt would be McKinley's running mate next fall. The Governor was shown this statement.

N. Carr and Others Entertain a Party at the Carrolllon. . . . . ... ueiiioiisrratious in pnsyeliologic sug gestions were given to a select aud ience last evening in the parlors of the Carroll ton by Dr. Isaac N. Carr, of Durham. Dr. Can- has given the sub ject much study ami possessed the phsyehic power to a wonder ful degree. A patient was placed in a phsyehic state by Dr. Carr and he could not arise from the chair until allowed to do so. He placed his hands on the doctor's and could not remove them un til the pwer of suggestin was changed; and other like features were demon strated. He stiggesed to the patient that he felt better in health than for years and when restored to normal con dition the gentleman stated that he felt niucii better and could hear better, he being a sufferer from disnfnoss to some degree. Dr. Carr also delivered an address on the phenona which wag highly inter esting and instructive. Among the things said Dr. Carr emphasized the fact that although a person was placed in a hypnotic or phsyehic state, it was impossible to make them do things which their normal nature rebelled at. In other words a person in that state is still working under the laws of natnre. and you cannot make an honest per- I son do a dishonest act. nor ran "virtue be victimized. A man or woman, though ' under the influence of a suggestive power, still preserves and holds sacred ' I heir moral obligations. The isiwer of mind over matter was 1 also demonstrated by Mr. .T. 11. Khel biiin. of Durham, who took an ordinary walking cane Is-longing to one of the .'entleiiieu and made it stand on the floor at an angle of 50 degrees merely by the use or will power. An umbrella was made to do the same thing, and not did it stand, but it swayed to and fro at the will of Mr. Shelburn. Mr. Founder, of Washington, gave some wonderful tests of mind reading. RAILROAD DEAL Gossip Concerning !he A. C. L. and S. A. L. Augusta, Ga.. Aug. 17. The reported lease of the Georgia railroad by the At lantic Const Line continues to he the subject of talk. The railroad off inn Is seem to know nothing n limit it at least they say they do not. Juut why the Atlantic Coast Line should wish to ac quire control of the Georgia does not apiienr, any more than why the Louis ville and Nashville, the present lessees, should be wiling to-part with the whole or a half of it. The recent purchase of the Georgia and South Oaroina and the Augusta Southern by the Southern railroad seems to have been the licginniiig of great rail road changes, consolidation anil improve ment of which Augusta is the centre. and it looks very much as if out of this struggle between great rival systems Augusta is to have at least one new road to enter here. For weeks past i nguieeis have been at Work survevinc surveying a route between Augusta and Savan nah, and though these, as other railroad officials, know nothing, it is accepted that this work is being done for the S. A. L. These ingineers are now at work between Augusta and Athens, and the prolwibility is that ere long a new air line will connect Atlanta with Charles ton via Augusta. In this connection must be noted the ptirchase of large blocks recently made inside the city limits, with option on another which would not he purchased except for ter minal or other railroad uses. WEEK AHEAD Shamrock Made the Tri p to New York In Fifteen Days. New York, Aug. 18. The cup-challenger "Shamrock" arrived at Sandy Hook at 8:14 this morning. The voyage was made in fifteen days. The yaclit was towed up the bay sur rounded by hundreds of craft. She made a fast trip and reached ! here time. a week ahead of the expected The Shamrock was accompanied by the Consort and steam yacht EHn. COURT ROOM CHANGES.- Some radical changes are now licing made in the court room hi consequence of the balcony from the jail to the court room fr conveying prisoners back and forth. Tine-jury box has been moved from the right side of the Judge's seat to the left, where the clerk's desk is now and the clerk will has his desk nearly in front of the judge. The change will make the court room much more convenient. An old Georgia lady , who enjoys knitting socks for the soldiers, in (ending a pair to Admiral Dewey, wrote: "I want yon to accept these socks with my love an' compliments. If I could only afford It I'd send a pair o' shoes along with 'em. But take the will for the deed, an' may the Lord Mess you!" 0 - . .... " . . , . Dr. J. H. Wheeler,' who has been the guest of Rev. E. C. Glenn, left for Greensboro this afternoon. . WASHINGTON LEI TER Should Otis Retire Lawtnn wil Succeed Him THE CAPITAL DESKkTED Oeneral Miles and the Department Qreat Preparations for Dewey's Reception The Conver sion of Croker. Washington, Aug. 17. (Kiecial Cor rosiioiidenec to The Times-Visitor.) Most of the higher officials of the gov- rninent have left the city for long va cations. In fact, not in many years have so many of the government chief functionaries been n Intent from Wash ington, and each week .adds to the list of officials of less prominence seeking rec reation. The fact that official Wash ington has been almost continuously on duty for the past eighteen uroliths is in a measure resHui.siltle for the exo dus. Except for the War Depart meat's I activity m preparing for the movement of trisips for Manila, the machinery of government moves very slowly now. Compared to the excitement and rush of last summer, the Navy Department is in a state of tranquility ias it lias not j enjoyed for ten years. There is prac , tienlly nothing to engage the attention j of the navy outside of the cruise of the I North Atlantic Squadron along the New England coast, where time is divided be- ! tween the summer resorts .and target ! practice at sea. The troubles in Cen tral and South America are apparently . ilisapiteiiring. The Secretary of the Navy has gone North for ian extended vacation, and practically all the bureau chiefs are away. The War Department is not deserted to such an extent and it is doubtful if ninny of the Department heads can ob tain extended leave, owing to the enor mous amount of work involved in get- ting a large army equipped and ready ; for transportation to Mmnila. General Miles will leave for York HarlKir, after l several extended interviews wii'n the j new Secretary, Mr. Root. The length of the Ocnernl's absence will depend f upon the manner in which his ulvice is treated by the new Secretary. It is alleged that harmony iu the War De partment has not yet leen restored, and new difficulties are said to have arisen between the Ma-jor-fJeueral Commanding the Army and the Inspec tor General. It is positiveIytated that Major General Otis will remain in supreme command of the Philippine Islands at least for some time. Should he request to lie relieved, Major-General Lawtnn has been regarded as a probable succes sor. This is the decision reached by the President and Secretary Root during their conference at Lake Champlain. Secretary Root made no secret of the fn t tnat the President wants General "tis ro retain control at Manila, and so informed General Miles in a long confer- l'"ee- -ucn uissatisraction. is expres- d even by the friends of the administra- Tion at the decision of the President to eillow General Otis to continue his ef forts to suppress the insurrection, but it is alleged that Mr. McKinlcy wishes to give him a chiinco to show what he can do with a largely increased army. Gen eral Miles favored sending additional cavalry, but the idea did not prevail with the new Secretary Clear evidence as to the growth of the present Canadian contention re garding the location of the Alaska boundary line, can be found in a com pnrison of official and Canadian maps In the essential pints both maps agree and both sustain the American claim. j Each day brings increasing evidence of interest in the welcome Washington . is planning to give Admiral Dewey ' upon his arrival. Ten sub-connmitte.'s have charge of the different features of the arrangements. All the chairmen of the committees are now in the city. ; Some o tlie events' features are: Ad miral Dewey will be escorted to the cap- i Itol on the day the nation's sword is to i. t. him l.v n committee. jKht there will be a monster ja rade. Every organization in the Dis trict of Columbia will be invited to appear iu the procession. Every mili tary body, all the civic, fraternal, patriot ic, social and benevolent societies and bicycle dubs will be mended. The citiaens all along the Hue the pa rade is to take wil tie asked to illumi nate and decorate their premises. Dewey Night will be as brilliant an af fair as Dewey Day. Tlie return of Mr, Orokcr, of New York, from England, and his rcporttsJ conversation to Bryan and anti-expansion is' the most eventful tiling in the week, when it Is considered that ' Mr. Croker holds in the holtow of his hand the New York delegation, and can throw Its vote to Bryan when ttft next Dem cratic convention meets. Before leav ing tor. Europe Mr.' Croker was one of the most rampant expannists in the country. His change of front l great surprise even to his own friends. , Street Commissioner Biak has com pleted the culvert; at.

He was seven feet six inches high, and in 1X4."i weighed over l.(KM) pounds. In 1839 his. coat was buttoned around three men. each weighing over 200 pounds, and they walked around the public stpiare at Lexington. In 1850 it required thirteen and a half yards of cloth one yard wide to make him a ((Kit. His coffin was eight feet long, thirty-five inches deep, thirty-two in ches across the breast, eighteen inches across the bead and fourteen inches across the feet. If took twenty-four yards of black velvet to cover it. His hat measured twenty-seven inches around the crown and is now in posses sion of the State Historical Society at Nashville. He was a Mason and be longed to the Baptist church. Carroll County Democrat. PUSSELL DON'T KNOW He May Pay Fo Attention to Secretary Root's Request. The following is a copy of the dispatch sent to the Governor this week: "To meet any demand of the future for volunteer officers under art of Con gress approved March 2. 1898, you are requested to submit the names of two officers from each of the volunteer regi ments from your State, mustered into service during the Spanish-American war. in order that their records may Is1 examined and such further inquiry as suggests itself may be made, before there is any urgent pressure for ac tion. In suggesting these names, youth, vigor, intelligence), icharactter and fit ness to command should lie taken into consideration. BLIHU ROOT, Secretary of War. This is for the call before the last and yesterday Secretary Root announced that ten more regiments would be raised as was stated in a dispatch in The Times-Visitor yesterday. This the Governor, it is said, will be aked to name four more under the same con ditions as the letter given above. A representative of The Times-Visitor called on Governor Russell and asked him when his recommendations to the Secretary of War for thec placed would be made. Governor Russell replied that he did not know that he would make any, that he doubted if they would lie needed.

When the arrangements are complete others Sisters of Charity will come here. The work on these buildings west of the city is imigressing quite rapidly and it is thought that they can be occu pied early in the fall. "PHILIPPINE FACTS." The campaign iu the Philippines has now been under active discussion for over a month past, since the President announced his determination to send 40,000 men to the islands, and certain facts lire now established. Kirst, the delay in the operations in Luzon and the lack of men were due to Congress and its disbandment of the war army. This reduced the regular army to 27,400 men. Since this reduc tion it took place in March over 52,000 men have lieen enlisted or re-enlisted un til there are men enough. Second, the loss from disease in the Philippines has been less than in nny tropical military expedition save one or two short wars by English troops and less than in most English tropical wars. Instead of the loss by disease being heavy and due to carelessness, it is less than the loss in the Mexican war or the civil war, less than in any French ex ledition and less than in roost English expeditions as medical returns and rec ords show. Third, instead of the result being small from the fighting of the past six months it has been large. A third of the Tagal territory and more than a third of the lpiilntioii are now held. The larger forces of the enemy are broken. The Visayn islands are peaceful. The SuJu islands have accepted American allegi ance. Active resistance exists in not one-third of tlie archipelago. Tlie cam paign continues iu spite of the rainy sea son, and by November Luzon will be brought under peace, law and order. Philadelphia. Press. HOUSE BREAKING. Wiill Finch , colored, was arraigned before Mayor Powell at four o'clock this afternoon charged with housebreaking. Finch was represented by Mr. William Snow. The charge against Finch was that yesterday he entered the house of Harry Smith, near Mr. W. R. Crawford's place, west of Raleigh, and stole a dou ble barrel gun and a pair of shoes. An entrance was affected by breaking a window and then a door. This was done in the broad open day time while Harry Smith was working in the field not a hundred yards from the house. The stolen gua was the property of Mr. Crawford and he had loaned it to Smith to protect the corn field from thieves. When Smith went back to his house yesterday from work he found that it had been broken into and the gun and a pair of shoes Were missing. The matter was reported to the police. Officer John Banks caught Finch lat er just after he. left Mr. Brockwelfi where he tried to sell the gun. He had already been to Harris' store. Finch was sent on to court.
