The forecast for Raleigh and vicinity
of the Weather. Bureau says: Possibly

Raleigh was tho warmest number cast
of the Rocky Mountains yesterday with

The high barometer which has linger
ed so long on the south Atlantic coast
has apparently disappeared, and the
center of high pressure has been trans
ferred to the uppor Lake region. This
arrangement slightly increases the
probability for a moderate change In the
weather in the east. The barometer con
tinues lowest over Rocky Mountain re

points In the south, and it is raining
this morning at Knoxville. More mod

TRUST WORTHY REPORT !
THAT HE WILL RE NAMED;
Clerfct-Treasurer Lacy Hal Four
f-, AppolBtmiaU-Secretary
of State Two.
A question which is now arousing in
terest in Raleigh and elsewhere is who
will be appointed to the various posi
tions in the State Departments by the
new State officers.
MostfOf the State officers-elect have
as yet' not made their selections, or at
least have not made them public and
will not do so for several weeks yet.
However, the fact seems well estab
lished that Mr. Charles C. Daniels, of
Wilson will be the private secretary of
Governor Charles B. Aycock. Mr. Dan
iels was chief Clerk in the last State
Ssnate and Is a young man of promise
with a host of friends In Raleigh. He
is a brother of Mr. Josephus Daniels of
the News and Observer. The information
that he will be the private secretary of
the Governor comes from a trustworthy
sources and can he stated, although it
has not vet been oubliclv announced.
has not yet been publicly announced.
Dr. B. F. Dixon, the Auditor-elect,
has selected his two clerks but who they
are cannot be leraned at this time. Dr.
Dixon recently stated to a gentleman
that he had chosen the two clerks for
the Auditor's office. Dr. Dixon's ap
pointees will succeed Messers. Rivers
and Sims.
The other State officers have not
seemly made their appointments de
finite and it will probably be several
Tyc(cs before Hicy do &o f

London, Aug. 29. General Roberts re
ports under date of Beldfast, August
28th. Gen. Buller's advance occupied
Machadodorp this afternoon. The ene
my made a very poor stand and retired
northward, followed by Dundonalds'
mounted troops, who could not proceed
beyond Helvetta on account of the dif

the enemy took a. position too strong
to be dislodged by the mounted troops.
A JUSTICE WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
Wayne McYeagh,, the well known
Philadelphia lawyer and ex-minister
to Italy, has a keen sense of humor.
. Recently he whs arguing a. tedious,
technical case before i.ie Supreme
Court. The affair drifted through
long days of uninteresting ; detail.
When it was finally ended Air. , Mae
Veagh and a colleague, "in talking it
over, speculated as to whom' Chief
Justice Fuller would assigrwto write
tho opinion in the cas-le, and the
sec.ulati6n resulted in a' wager.
Just then Chief Justice Fuller came
down the corridor. Sir. McVeagh
called him and told him of the wager.
"If you will help me out, Jlr.
Chief Justice, and tell me

111.V gliesS IS Correct, the affair Can
be settled right here, for you have
the assigning to do and you know
whom you will ask to write the deci

"Whom have you selected in your,

Fuller, keenly interested.
"Justice Gray," answered Mr., Mac
Veagh. '
"And why did you choose Mr.

BLEW HEAD OFF.
An Old Negro, Aged OS Years, Closc3
His Life With the Century.
Ilavld Berry, an old negro of Steele
Crock township committed suicide yes
terday morning, by shooting himself in
tho head.
Berry was not only the oldest negro in
the township, but probably the oldest
citizen, being 98 years of age. His wife
died severl months ago, and since that
time' the old man had not been In his
right mind. The feebleness of extreme
old age coupled with' the grief he felt
over his wife's death, unbalanced his
mind, and he had been as helpless as a
child. Some weeks ago Green McLean,
colored, took the old man to his house
to live end took good care of hira. Green
had a gun In the house. He knew that
the old negro was not in his right mind,
but hod no idea that he had a thought
of self-destruction. He regarded him as
helpless and harmless, but such was not
so. Sunday while the family were at
lohurch, Berry got the gun and went off
into the' woods. When McLean and fam
ily returned they missed the old j?in
and went in search ; for him, but ho
could not "be found. They feared some-

Lean made another tour in search of
him. He found him In the woods, dead,
his head having been blown laterally to
pieces. The gutl with which he had killed
himself was lying by his side. The cor
oner was notified, and held an inquest
yesterday. Tho verdict was that the de
ceased came to his death by his own
hands.

LAST NIGHT'S SESSION.
At the session last night the Associa
tion listened to a most interesting and
Instructive address by Hon. James Wil
son, United States Secretary of Agricul
ture. Mr. Wilson was Introduced by
Commissioner Patterson of the North
Carolina Department of Agriculture.
The subject of Mr. )Vilson's address
was "The Relation of the National De
partment of Agriculture to the State
Department of Agriculture Suggestions
for Improving Them."
It was a most carefully prepared ad
dress and dwelt largely upon the re
sources and products of North Carolina.
It was full of valuable information and
practical suggestions, "., showing careful
thought and investigation. He stated
that there were 17,000 regular corres
pondents in the Cotton Growing States
who report directly to Washington. In
order to strengthen the crop reporting
system in the South last year a special
Held agent was appointed. ;
From our latest sources of information
it appears that there aro in North Caro
lina ICS mills, 22,178 looms, l,003,2ii8
spindles, which consumed 350,231 bales
of cotton In 18!). The total consump
tion in the Southern States for tho year
was 1, '400,028 bales. If wo consider, tho
rate of growth of manufacturing in the
Southern States, it is reasonably safe to
estimate that one-fifth of tho cotton
crop .of the Southern States is being
manufactured within its borders."
H6 also gave the following interesting
figures about the cotton crop:
The reports of raw cotton from tho
Tnlted States to Asia in 1870 were
$182, In 18H0 they were $223,870, and in
1:100, $13228,269. The average reports of
manufactured cotton from the United
States to Asia and Occanlca in 1870 were
$622,863: in 1880 they were $608,194; in
1S99, $2,303,184, and in 1890 they reached
a total of $12,362,387
Of the' total exports of cotton manu
factures to all parts of the world the
Orient took, in 1870, 16 per cent: In 1880,
7 per cent; in 1890. 23 per cent, and in
1900, 62 per cent. The value ,of the ex
perts to oriental countries In 1900 was,
as stated, $12,363,387, while the total ex
ports of manufactured cottons to all
parts of tho world were $23,980,001.
Mr. Wilson's address was listened to
with deep interest tnd made a great Im
pression. FUNERAL.

Fred Fink Stole a
Blb'e.
The thermometer wobbled at his fa
miliar resort of 90 and a fraction yes
terday afternoon and the court wither
ed in its shirt sleeves. The magistrate
adjusted his glasses, surveyed a host
of waiting witnesses and announced his
readiness to take up the next case, a
peace warrant sworn out by Garland
Williams against Bailey Cook.
. The magistrate mopped his glistening
.forehead, bespangled with drops of per
spiration, and read as follows from the
warrant:
"Garland. Williams beim duly
sworn, deposes and sas Bailey
Cook did threaten to injure the
affiant by words spoken as fol
lows: 'You go in the house to
night and I will send; you to hell',
aud the 'affiant further swears
that he fears that the said
Bailey Cook will carry out said
threats."
Mr. C. B. Beckwith, as legal repre
sentative of the prosecution, immediate
ly arose and told His Honor that tho
weather was entirely too hot to con
sign any one to the lower region and in
his oath Williams has expressed no
doubt about his destination or Cook's
ability to despatch him to that undesir
able location.
The magistrate appreciated the humor
of the situation and amended the war
rant making it read, "do him bodily in
jury," instead . of "carry out his
threats."
After hearing all the evidence Bailey
Cook went to jail in default of a $23
bond not to check Williams to a warmer
climate during the next two months,
not at least until cooler weather sets
in.
TRUNK SMASHER.
A trunk smasher was the attraction
in the mayor's court today. Fred Finch
was the trunk fiend and he got in his
work on two trunks n the most ap
proved, style.
Saturday afternoon Finch went to the
rooms of Hattie Chavis where he used
a wire, opened Hattie's trunk and se
cured $3.20 in cash.
His next trunk raid was yesterday af
ternoon when he entered the house of
Colonel Baskervllle, the colored janitor
of the Christian church. Finch entered
Baskerville's house on Harrington street
through a window, broke open a trunk
and took the contents. Among the ar
ticles taken were two watches, one ra
zor, four pockethooks, one pair of cuffs
a New Testament, a pencil, a pair of ear
rings, a breast pin aud $1.25 In money.
All were recovered by the police except,
the car rings and the Testament. Finch
was sent to jail to await September
court. He was a well dressed negro, ap
parently about twenty-two years old.

Judge Walter Clark last evening re-
fused the application of M. N. Amis,

sonic things lieyonrt human endurance
and to. which 1 will not submit except
under protest. In my nei(rhlmrhood
there arc several families of children
that have whooping-cough. They tire
allowed to go when? Ihev please mid
give it to any other children with
whom they may come in contact,.
One mother wa si so very unthoiiirhtful
yesterday as to take her children,
w hooping cough and all. on the street
car n nil go to the park t: spend the
evening, where there were many
other children, who, if they should
take it. it might 'prove fntal. Children
with contagious diseases ure not al
lowed to g-o to our public schonl. and
I can't see why they should be al
lowed at other public places, or al
lowed to run at li'.vge, wlien the dan
ger of spreading t lie disi'iive is- just
as great ns it would be nt the schools.
Hnve we no protection'.' We par
ents who have very small children
who ore not. strong nt best, nnd who
would hardly survive a severe attack
of such n deaded diseasp? Han not
our very capable health' officers kiv
er to act in such cases, and so far as
possible nrevent the spread of whoop
ing cough as vven us sinuill-pox, etc.
