San Franci- o, May 3. -To-day .mark ed the actual beginning of the disen tangling of San Francisco from its disordered condi tion and of commencing the work of reconstruction. On many niitna woro viuililft indications of the determination of the merchants to re sume business. Gangs of men with teams were excavating for foundations in numerous vacant lots and in other places the removal of debris of burned buildings was under way. The streets at an early hour were thronged with laborers on their way to the burned districts, where they had been engaged to assist ;n the task of cleaning up. The boats from the cities across the bay and the local electric cars from the subuibs were packed with workmen who had already secured employment. In many places advertisements were posted on the walls seeking laborer?, and these inquiries for the men weie met with numerous responses from hoads of families who were only too willing to engage in any kind of labor. The authorities to-day issued numer- . . .... 1 i: ous permits to corporations ami mui viduals to open their safes. Every precaution was ts-ken to establish the identity of the owners, so it will be almost impossible to practice frund m this direction. To-day's work of providing for we destitute and the homeless was done under the plan devised by Gen. Greely, and a check put upon the waste, ex travagance and deception that had prevailed to some extent in the past. fhcre will be some important meet ings soon of the committees concerned with the financial future 01 me cny, and it is expected that the ideas ad vanced for the rehabilitation of the city will become crystalized in a pro ject which may eventually submit cd to Congress for action by that body. Tho notice and military auinoruics hi.ve.iaken steps which will eventually prevent looting or the ruins, particu larly in Chinatown. The latter place has been a mccca for relic hunters anu it is asserted that men and women of have, been carrying from the ashes of this quarter many valua ble pieces of chinaware, bronze, etc. Last night four militiamen were placed under arrest while digging in the ruins of Chinese bazaars. The extension of streetcar, telegraph and telephone systems is proceeding as rapidly as the difficulties will permit and it is hoped before the week is ended the people who remain in San Francisco will be provided for in affairs of information and transportation along tho lines approaching normal. Rural lellvrrantl Good Road. Meclenburg county is a perfect net n( rural free delivery routes. This is no not one of the counties for whi.-h there is ta'k of cutting out routes and the reason is that Mecklenburg has mwl roads. The Postofhce Depart ment first requires a good roau ueiuic a route is established and to this fact i i t is due to a general improvement or. roads throughout the country. In its efforts to arouse interest in this mat ter the Department is doing a good work. In speaking of the work of the department, Tho Washington Post says that since 1894, Congress has made ap propriations to enable the Secretary of Agriculture to make inquiries in re gard to the systems of road manage ment throuchout the United Statcf, to furnishexpert advice on road building and to make investigations in regard to the best methods of road building and the best kind of road-making ma JpriaiH in the several States; and for nrenarintr. nuhlishine and distribu- r - r ting bulletins and reports of Buch work The maintenance of good roads, uno structed by gates, with no unbridged creeks or streams not fordable at all or dinary seasons of the year, is a condi tion precedent to the establishment and continuance of rural delivery ser vice. When a rural agent or a post master reports that .the roads. traversed by rural carriers are impassible, or in bad condition, the matter is taken up with the department through the postmas ter, with the local road authorities, and due notice given that unless the condi tion of the roads is improved it will be necessary to take steps looking to with drawal of the service in that vicinity. This policy has resulted in the expendi ture of thousands of dollars throughout the country in the construction of bridges and the improvement of high ways. The maintenance of good roads as required by the Post office Depart ment does not necessarily involve any radical change in the system of roads in a given 1 cality, but doe3 Jeall for a system of grading that will keep the roads smooth and properly drained. The Post says the difference in Borne places to this important subject, so far as rural delivery service is concerned, is disclosed by the inspection of the service now being made, and it is hoped that the result of the efforts of the Department du ing the coming summer will be such an increased interest in the improve ment of all highways traversed by ru ral routes that the Department wilt be enabled to more satisfactorily complete the work of extending the service to the largest proportion of the rural pop ulation thoughout the country. Char lotte Chronicle. A Notable Coatrovtrsv Over Some Famniii Nubbin ftldfe Lyrki. The Greensboro Record takes note of the controversy between The Rich mond Times-Dispatch and Montgomery Advertiser concerning the Liza poem and song, and says, after presenting fairly the contention of each: "If permitted to enter the contro versy, we should like to remark that both papers have the stanza incorrectly quoted. The Observer is correct in saving it is a Carolina production ; it was written by a man from Nubbin Ridee, Rockingham county, and is heard here to this day, and here is how it runs: "'You go downnew-cut road, I'll go down lane, : If you get there 'fore I do, Kiss old Liza Jane.' ' "This is 'it' the original production; it had a chorus which we could repeat, but this is quite enough ; it clinches the whole business." It is with great diffidence that we record a difference with a paper usu ally so accurate as The Greensboro Record, particularly in matters of classic literature and more particularly still in matters of poetry and song. But it is certainly wrong in this in stance. We are not blaming it; God firbid. In view of the exciting evennts which are so constantly occuring in its town it is to be pardoned for an occa sional lapse of memory and a certain decrrce of mental alienation. But the facts must be kept straight. The Ob server stands pat with the Times-Dis natch on this version of the poem and insists that all others are base lmita tions : ,:I went up the new-cut road, She come down the lane: I axed Liza Jane to marry me; She axed me won't 1 shame. I turned my back upon her side O, g' long Liza Jane." The Record in its confused mental state, has no doubt gotten this new-cut noem confused with another, which opens thus; "As I went up theuew-cut road " 1 met a terrapin and a toad ; Every time the toad would sing The terrapin cut the pigeon wiug If the truth is ever known it will no doubt be found that this is the real Nubbin Ridge product. Col. Reece will please pull himself together and appeal to his better memory. -Leading Edito rial in Charlotts Observer. Hloinncb Trouble.

T1AY 4, Mil More Trouble Feared at Tlount Carmel. Mount Carmel, Pa., May 3.-Quiet continues here, although trouble may break out at any time, owing to the in tense bitterness of the residents to the constabulary. All of the people who were shot during the rioting on Monday are still alive, although several are ex pected to die. Despite tho ..threats of the citizens that another battle would result if any of the troopers entered the town, four squads of Captain Page's men made their appearance on the streets early today. They were all mounted and had their carbines un sl jng as they rode slowly through the place. Hundreds of people gazed on them with astonishment, as no one dreamed the constables would venture into town in such a small force. Bur gess Ponman and other local authori ties quickly passed word along for everybody to remain orderly and not insult the troopers. The latter kept a watch on all person, and were ready to use their guns if any one attempted to use firearms. The troopers remained here about 15 minutes and then pro ceeded to Locust Gap. During last night the terr itory sur rounding the Sayre colliery was free of strugglers and angry miners. The captain arranged a system ot patrol such as obtains in the tegular army, and the first men out of the stockade.to investigation of adjoining territory were the squads passing through the place. These troopers will visit towns and villages within a radius of fifteen sqare miles and pay particular atten tion to the topography ol trie ground surrounding coal breakers, so that they can procure good positions to repel at tacks of mobs in case the latter snouia attempt to raid non-union men who, the coal officials say, will be put to work as soon as possible after the Scranton convention, in case that body declares for a strike. The constabulary are greatly en couraged over Governor Pcnnypacker's declaration that they acted rigm in de fending themselves here in the two fights wit tho mob. The officials of the United States Mine-Workers, who have been busy the past forty hours in fluencing the foreign element of the union to be orderly, left today for the Scranton convention, after making a final plea to the men not to provoke the coustabulary aud thus lead to an other fight. Sheriff Searplcws is keeping close n,hi,Ut.ihii situation, and will lose no time in asking the governer for state troops if more serious trouble oc curs. . Five carloads of strike breakers from the Clearfield region arrived here early today, and it is reported that five ad ditional carloads from the bp me region will l each here later in the day. The men are said to have state miner's certificates entitling them to work in the hard coal fields. Fourteen carloads of men from the soft coal region were run into the Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Company's storage yard near Mahanoy City. The cars contain ing the strikebearere are fitted up so that the men can live in them. The cars are guarded by details of coal and iron policemen. In case no strike is Horlared. the Clearfield men will be shipped back home. Didn't Show Up. Prof. Hayes and Mr. Ivie, after they arrived at Bethlehem Tuesday night, found that Mr. Hudson or Mr. Foster or Mr. Joyce did not meet them for a division of time as had been given out advance of their koine. It seems that the advocates of mud roans are determined not to let the people hear them in a joint discussion, and in fact they have carefully avoided making speeches in territories where they felt their arguments could hnd their way i ito a newspaper. Speech-making in Carmel Woods, they think, is all right, but they dare not speak in Reidsville, Leaksville, Madison, or one of tho county towns where the newspaper people or the speakers who are advo eating the bond issue can hear them What does the average voter th.nk of being invited to cast his ballot with a set of people who are afraid to allow the general public hear their conten tions?

The police authorities here are on the Iiokout for the burglars who some nights ago made big hauls at the resi dences of two prominent citizens in Reidsville. Mr. Harris, of Reidsvillc, one of the parties robbed, was in the city yesterday and in consultation with Chief of Police J. B. Akers, and gave much information concerning several who are suspected of being implicated in the robberies. Mr. Harris himself had $535 stolen from his bed room, and the robbery was one of the most daring known to have been perpetrated in this section. He suspects two women and a man, who have been traveling through Reidsville selling proprietary medicines as being the guilty parties. The women had been to his home, and consequently had an opportunity of learning how to enter the dwelling. On the evening prior to the robbery Mr. Harris had been given $500 by a resident of Reidsville to deposit in one of the banks. The banks, however, closed before he reached them, and he carried the money home with him. In addition to this he had of his own $35. Mr. Harris believes that he was chloro formed. "I was aroused," he said, "late in the night by a peculiar odor in the room, and felt something press across my face. I caught sight of the skirts of a woman in the room, but was in a half dazed condition and thought that the figure was my wife. I fell into a dream and did not awake until next morning." When Mr. Harris aroused on the fol lowing morning he discovered that he had been robbed of a large sum. Dan ville Register. Pcon-Edrlagloa. A special from Fort Worth, Texas, Tuesday to The Review says: "Preceded by brilliant social func tions for the past 30 days, the wedding of Mr. Charles A. Penn, of Reidsville, N. C, aud Miss Teddie Edrington, of this place, was solemnized tonight. In Miss Edrington Texas loses one near and dear to the State and city. Born and reored among us, here family is closely identified with Texas history and independence. She is a daughter of Mr. II. D. Edrington, one of the oldest bankers of Texas. No young lady has been more prominjntly identi fied with the social life of Fort Worth. Mr. Penn is of distinguished parentage and is closely identified with one of the largest independent tobacco concerns in this country. "Miss Edrington entered the church with Mr. Edrington, her brother. She wore a gown of duchess lace with pearls and an empire dress veil fasten ed with a diamond crescent, the gift of the groom. She carried a bouquet of orchids and lillies of the valley. There were six attendants: Misses Anita Penn, of Reidsville; Bernie Newlin, of Fort Worth; Margaret Crawford, of Dallas; M. Thelan, of Atlanta, Ga.; Carrie Saunders, of Fort Worth, and Bessie Tarleton, of Austin. 'Mr. and Mrs, Penn left tonight on a trip to the Northwest and thence to the Hawaiian Islands." The Tobacco Market. Sales continue very small on the Reidsville tobacco market, owing to drv. cool weather, as well as the small amount of tobacco now in the farmers' hands. During the past few days sales lasted hardly an hour each day. The aualitv of the cooda offered is rather nondescript and no fine or colory tobacco, to speak of, appeared on sale. Prices are strong, and all the tobacco offered is taken at outside figures, the stocks being more reduced than they have been before at this season of the year.. Preparation for the new crops are under way in the Southern sections, there having been considerable plant - intr. xno scarcity oi nianis in me oiu section is heard of, but there is a scar city of plants, owing to unreasonable dry weather, in Eastern Carolina, which may effiect the size of the crop planted in that section. " However," from "what can be learned, about the acreage of last year will be planted in the old belt and there will be a slight decrease in the Eastern Carolina sections. South Carolina will plant, as far can be learned, about the same as last year. As the crop of 1905 was below average in size in the bright belt, this not indicate a very large acreagclfor tho crop of 1906. Of course the yield in ponnds will be governed largely by the conditions that prevailed during the growing period. As Argument Agalasi Good Roadi. "I want a bill like they have in Guil ford county," said Mr. Standpattir, to as he finished an argument against a provision in the Rockingham bill which was precisely the same as the one in the Guilford bill. , ISSUED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS. ID Northern Part of State Sustains Damage. Dallas, Texas, May 2. -Extremely heavy rains, destructive winds and lightning have caused serious washouts on the railroads and much damage in Northern Texas. At Dennis for 28 hours rain has fallen aggregating 5 3-4 inches. On the Frisco system between Denni son and Red River, a section of track sunk several inches and trains had to be detoured. Similar conditions exist on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas be tween Dennison and Greenville and Dennison and Whitesboro, with several washouts reported. The Dennis yards of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway were flooded. At McKinney and vicinity wind and rain in volume destroyed a number of farmhnuuoa anA ininrpH upvpral rutrmlo The storm swept a clean path from ' Blue Ridge Northeast for eight milen, its track being 200 to 1"0 yards wide.

In the vicinity of Bailey, in Fannin county, 12 houses were blown down. Should B Made to Star at Home. Messrs P. W. Glidewell and Henry Lane spoke at Sadler Tuesday night. About thirty voters were out to hear them, and of this number nearly all were opposed to the good roads move ment. We regret to learn that one gentle man who was present annoyed the speakers so much that they proceeded with great difficulty. It has been clearly shown that the advocates of mud roads are unwilling to hear argu ments on the question, and that they prefer to vote under prejudice, but we had not anticipated that any of them would resort to an effort to suppress the speakers of those who are advoca ting the bond issue. Any such hac better remain away from the speak ings, as they lay themselves liablu to indictment for disturbing a public speaker. : D. M. I. Suspends.
