STATE CULLINGS.
.HANGKI ITS NAME
To the North ("Hrollna Section of the
C'llmal and C rop Hervlre of the
Weather Hureaii.
The announcement is wade to all in
terested in tho North Carolin State
Weather Service, of a change in the
name of the service, and its establish
ment eu an independent basis.
The official designation of the State
Weather Service Division of the United
fitutes Weather Bureau has been
changed recently to "Climate and Crop
Division," and in accordance therewith
the name of the State Weather Serviee
becomes: "North Carolina Section of
the Climate and Crop Service of tbn
Weuther Bureau." The reason for t) is
change is that tho State services i re
really concerned with tho -limatory o.
their respective districts. 1 1 the words
of the Chief: "It is desired to empha
sizo tho distinction between 'climate'
and 'weather.' The term 'olimato' re
fers especially to seasonal meteorologi
cal conditions and to the variations be
tween places in their average meteoro
logical featares. The work of volun
tary observer and crop correspondent
has to do almost entirely with 'climate'
and not with 'weather,' which latter
term refers more especially to the drift
of changing air conditions from day to
day."
The present Chief of the Weather
Bureau, Prof. Willis L. Moore, has
long recognizod the desirability of
having the various publications of the
State services issued in uniform man ner.
His practical and far-seeing poli
cy has already resulted in a number
of improvements in the Climate aud
Crop services throughout the country,
the most noteworthy of which is ihe
establishment at State centers of print
ing plants for the purpose of securing
the long sought object of issuing the
daily weather msps, weekly crop bul
letins aud monthly meteorological re
ports in uniform and excellent style.
Nothing could do more to popularize
the work of the weather Bureau and
extend its usefulness so as to fully
meet the needs of the people through
out the country.

The "Arranjreineiit" to Vnlte the
Silver Vote fop HryHii.
' Democratic State Chairman Manley,
in an interview with tho Charlotte Ob
server correspondent, says: "The
action of our State committee in ar
ranging the electoral ticket with the
Populists was the logical and intelli
gent action of the different political
parties who have, on the great princi
pal of the restoration of silver which
tkey hold in common, nominated a
mutual candidate to ? rry that princi
ple into cfteot. I have been surprised
and grieved that some Democrats did
sot seem to understand our position
and did not know the committee was
acting with the sanction and approval
of the highest party authorities. Those
who have the national fight in chargo
know that our action was in no way
disloyal to our candidate for Vice
President I received the following
letter from Mr. Sewall:
"I have the honor of acknowledg
ing the receipt of your favor of Sep
tember 27th, informing me of tho basis
of fusion in Notth Carolina, asking me
whether it meets my approval. I. be
lieve the friends of bimetallism ought
to vote for the electoral ticket that will
elect Bryan to the presidency, and I
thoroughly approve of the polioy
which unites the supporters of free sil
ver in your State aud every other. It
is the people's cause against monopo
lies, and no local differences or per
sonal aspirations ought to prevent that
union.' "

STARTS WEST AGAIN.
Bryan Talks Finance in West Vir
ginia A Few Words to Mary
landers. At Hartfnsburg, W. Va., last Wednesday,
W. J. Bryan addressed a large assemblage of
farmers on finance. He gave them to under
stand that boltocrats could never come back
Into tbe (old until they came In sack-cloth
and ashes.
After leaving Hartinsburg his next stop was
at Hancock, Md. A large crowd had assem
bled at the station to greet him, and tbey
would not be content until be had spoken.
He did so from the rear platform, say
ing: "Ladies and Gentlemen: 1 am glad to see
you and I ouly wish it were possible for me
to go into every school district aud present
tbe questions which are at issue in this cam
paign. I believe that we are are advocating
potlcles which will commend themselves to
the judgment of a great majority of Hip Amer
ican people and all that we new! is to have
those policies discussed and understood. I
have an aliiding faith In the intelligence ol
the people and In their desire to do the best
thing, but it is necessary that questions
should be brought before the people beforo
they can form au opinion upon them. Our
opponents are cot only opposed to free coiu
but tboy are opposed to agitation, which
means that they are opposed to discussion
and the man who is opposed to the discussion
of public questions In a country like this Is
not acquainted with the principles of the
Institutions under which we live. (Ap
plause.) "There 1j no way to remedy a wrong ex
cept by dsscussing it until tbe people under
stand it aud use the ballot to remedy It. Tbe
greatest criticism that I have ever made
against our people is that they are too often
indifferent to pollutes prescuted tiy parties
no. to me oonauct ol public servants. My
Idea la that a public servant la simply em
ployed by the people to do a certain work
and that he ought either to do the work or
step aside and let somebody else do it. Aud
more than that, that while a candidate goes
before the people and tells them hat he be
lieves, and what be will do if they elect hltp,
they are the sole judge as to whether bo
ought to be elected or not and that he cannot
complain at their indecision because they are
the ones to be consulted and not he. In go
ing about over thecountry, I have presented
from time to time our cause as I understand
it. Whether It results In my election or de
feat is a matter of very little cousequence,
bat I do believe that the American people
ongbt to be concerned as to tbe policy of
tbu government aud that tbey ought to make
that interest manifest at tbe ballot box . Al
though I cannot make a silver speech nor?
yon can make a lilverspeech on election day.
(Applause )
At Clarksburg Mr. Bryan delivered a speech
at the lair grounds. It was a great demon
strate n, and one of the biggest days that
Clarksburg had had In many a day.
At Parkersburg he addressed another large
assemblage. Excursion trains were ruu
from every point to hear him. He also
made stops at other points, making short
talk from the rear platform.
Mr. Bryan's itinerary thorough tbe West Is
being arranged by tbe Democratic National
Bureau of speakers, but It is known, how
ever, that be will speak six days in Illinois,
commencing October 21st, and tbil he may
be m tbe Plate ten days. Arrangements are
beicg made to carry him to all the principal
towns in tbe State by a special train. It is not
known, however, whether be will he in Chi
cago on October Vtn. He may go from Jlar
ahallton, Inwa, where ha will speak October
3th, to M i BDeoota.

NEW ENGLAND.
IHVADES TUB KNEMY'S COUN
TRY" STILL FURTHER.
His Greatest Reception Was at Datb,
Me., His Running Mate's Home.
Greatly refreshed by ten hours' slwp,
Bryan left Hartford, Conn., to "Invailo tho
enemy's oountry still further. There was
a small crowd at the depot to cnteh a part
ing glimpse of the nominee and these Bryan
told that tho money changer was Interested
in having a dear dollar and that a dear dol
lar meant bard times to tho producers of
wealth. There wag no demonstration, no
chserlng and nothing In tho way of euthu
Him. The first stop was" at Windsor, where a
small crowd had gathered, carrylug a ban
ner for "MeKiuley aud profp-rlly." Til' re
were a few cheers for him by a part ol the
wcrowd, and more cheers fur his opponents.
At Windsor Locks, the next Mop, I ho as
semblage was more enthusiastic for Bryau.
Everybody wanted to shake bunds with him
and called on him for a speech. "1 am glad
tc see you," was tbe extent of his audrecs,
and even that was ap. lauded.
Thompsouville also gave him a cordial re
ception aud he was cheered enthusiastically
by a few hundred people gathered about tli(
depot.
At this city Mr. Bryan said: "I desire iu
this city to pay tribute to independent jour
nalism. I have always respected an honest
and earnest and able opponent. 1 ncvet
criticized the right of any one to speak his
sentiments and express his ideas as clearly,
as forcibly, as eloquently as he cau. I be
lieve with Jefferson that error is harmless
where reason Is left to combat it. (Great ap
plause,) "Aud If any man has an idea, I am willing
for him to launch that Idea and trust to the
merits of that idea ro make its way Into tho
miud and Into tbe hearts of men, ami I re
spect the Spriuglleld Bej ulilloan for tho hl'U
(great applause), plaue upon which it dis
cussed political questions. I respect it for
the tolerance which It shows to political op
ponents, and without censuring, those who
substitute abuse for argument , I can com
mend those who use argument Instead of
abuse. (Great applause.)
"I can commend also to every citizen the
words of that distinguished editor who was
the founder of this paper. I am told that be
is the author of the expression that a man
who is not will'ng to die tor a cause in which
he believes is not worthy to live." (Great
applause.)
William J. Bryan's advent Into New Hamp
shire and Maine with another segment of
Massachusetts began in an Interesting man
ner at Lowell, which city he reached last
Saturday at 9:10. Fully 7,000 peoplo were
gathered in the big train shed in and around
the station to see the candidate. Mr. Bryan
and Mr. Bewail made their way to tho bag
gage car aud stood in Its broad doorway arm
In arm in full view of the cheering throng,
A rush was made to shake hands with the
two candidates, and this took up bo much
time that no opportunity whs afforded Mr.
Bryan for a speech. ,-I have no time to dis
cuss any questions," was ail he maifnged to
say, and then as the train pulled out ho
shouted, "but I am glad to see you." Another
cheer went up as the train disappeared. A
number of New England politicians accom
panied Mr. Bryan aud Mr. Bewail on their
Journey.
At Lawrence he made a brief speech to an
audience numbering about 8,000. Mr. Bryan
and Mr. Bewail were taken to the Essex
House whore a banquet was served. After
leaving Lawrenco the first stop was made at
Haverhill whero he delivered two brief
speeches. At Brunswick a small crowd gath
ered, andBowdoin College students gave him
three hearty chee-rs. Stops were made at
ltollingford and Salmon Falls, aud North
Berwick and Bouth Berwick, Me. Severnl
hundred people composed these gatherings,
and many shook hands with both candi
dates. The NortnJJerwlck crowd welcomed Mr.
Bewail to his home State with three cheers,
Mr. Bryan was also cheered at each place, but
did not speak.
"Three cheers for the lion-hearted leader
of the labor cause," was the shout that greet
ed Mr. Bryan at Kennebuuk. The knot of
men there followed this sentiment with three
cheers. Mr. Bryan told them that he could
not make a speech because he was saving his
voice.
Biddoford's welcome to Bryan and Sewall
came from a thousand or twelve hundred
people.
The Portland reception committee came
aboard the car at Blddeford. A vast throng,
certainly 10,000, perhaps 12,000 heard Bryaa
in Union station Square In the west end ol
Portland. Arriving here, with Arthur Sew
all, Mr. Bryan was escorted through tbe
throng in the station to a temporary stand
In Its rear. Tue square was packed with hu
manity. Little enthusiasm was shown, al
though many in the near neighborhood
waved their bats aud cheered heartily wbea
tbe candidate appeared. Mr. Sewall Intro
duood his fellow standard bearer, who nade
a short speech. Ou its conclusion he returned
to the station, and at 5:30 left for Bath on a
special train of two cars furnished by Mr.
Bewail.
On reaching Bath, Arthur Sewall's home,
It was dellrous on tbe account of tbe pres
ence of Mr. Sewall's colleague on the Na
tional Democratic ticket, William J. Bryan,
of Nebraska. Everybody turned out to see
tbe two (Jbicago nominees, and the local
population was augmented by large numbers
of excursionists from near by communities.
People tramped up from tbe railway station
by the hundreds on the arrival of the train
and helped swell the thousands In front of
the custom bouse In Centre street, where the
speech making took place. The candidates
were met at the station by a big crowd, placed
in a carriage drawn by four horses and es
corted to Mr. Sewall's resldenoe by free silver
clubs and a number of local Demoorats.
From the Sewall residence to the custom
bouse four bands preceded tbe Bryan and Be
wail clubs that led the way. The model of a
ship built by Mr, Sewall's firm was a feature
f the procession.
Mr. Bryan talked about a flood of money,
and referred to the use c f silver as money in
China, Japan and India substantially as in
previous speeches. He made an eloquent
peroration.
At tbe conclusion ot tbe speech there was a
wild scene. Men swung their hats and shout
ed themselves hoarse. A rush forward to
hake hands with the leader of the ticket
was made, but Mr. Bryan eluded the on
slaught and escaped with Mr. SeawelU Bands
and political organizations fell into line, and
tbe candidates w re escorted to the latter's
home.
Makes His Speeches Short.
At Canton, O., Friday Major HcZinley made
four speeches. The first one was shortly after
8 o'clock In the morning, and from that time
till half past 1 o'clock be was busy address
ing his callers. Some Instated upon shaking
bands and that ordeal ! a great consumer of
time. Saturday there were seventeen dele
gations expected. Maj. McKloley has found
It necessary to make his speeches shorter.
AH of his speeches Saturday, except one, was
brief. Saturday he made eleven speeches
and spoke to sixteen delegations, number

1VILL ARP'S LETTER.
TALKS PROMISCUOUSLY OF POL
ITICS AND GRANDCHILDREN.
He Also Morallr.es Somewhat on the
Financial Question.
Oobe was right. Cobe said we would
have rain' abont the time fie drougth
broke up. Cobe is a man of opinions.
I asked him one day how his nabor,
Mrs. Jenkins, was, and he said, "She
is powerful sick she is, shore. If she
lives till morning I shall have some
hopes of her, but if she don't I believe
she will die." The long drought has
broken at last, and we are all grateful,
eveu if we are not happy. Hard times
are on us and a hard wiuter just ahead
of us, but old folks can look back and
say it is not as bad as war. I thought
that this full moon in conjunction with
the equinox would bring us rain, but I
wasn't counting on quite so much con
junction in family affairs. The autumn
al equinox brought a telegram from
Florida announcing the birth of an
other grandson, Ralph, Jr., and before
I could auswer the dispatch here came
the little girls over the hill all out of
breath and wild with excitement
"Mamma has got another little boy,
whoopee! the swoetest little boy. Ob,
my, ain't yon glad, grandma?"
Why of course we are glad.
When four girls come right
straight along in a row it's time for
a boy ar boy to grow up aud wait on
them aud defend them and protect
them. Two grandsons brought by the
sumo equinoctial gale. Just think of
it and ponder. And the old cow has
found a heifer calf, besides a little
fawn-eyed Jersey. What's in the wind?
And so this little chap over the hill
answered the Florida telegram and
said: "William Aubrey, Jr., sends
greetings to Ralph Smith, Jr., and
says hello ! how do you like it?' Your
little cousin." And so it goes, multi
plying and replenishing according to
scripture. Two more for parents to
love and cherish and work for and
pray for and hope for. Two more to
tight the battle of life and have some
school boy lights, too, I reckon. Two
more to have joy and sorrow mixed,
and to bring grief or gladness to their
parents. Well, it's a hard time to have
an increase in the family, for nowadays
even tin infant is right smart expense,
but Cobe says "everything is adopted
and there never was a 'possum
born into the world bnt what
there was a 'simmon tree close
by." So let them come. "Hang cut
your banners on the outer wall,
for tho cry is 'still they come !' " We
are getting old, my wife and I, but we
can welcouio a few more grandchild
ren. I would like to livo on a few
years for their sake and chide them
when they do wrong and praise them
when they do right. Sometimes my
chiding hurts their mothers' feelings,
but I don't care. Mothers spoil the
boys and fathers the girls, and eo it
takes a bard old man like rue to ex
press my sentiments regardless of feel
ing. Line upon line, precept upon pre
cept, here a little, there a little. Some
time ago I threatened to spank a littla
grandchild to make her behave, and
ehe looked astonished and indignant
as she replied, "Mamma fay me too
'ittlo to 'pauk." And the was, bnt the
threat did her good. When school
days come it takes a powerful watch
ing to keep the children straight.
They not only leave their lessons,
but soon catch on to all the
slang and bad words aud devilment
that other children know. In fact a
fond mother who has tho wost boysin
town told me her greatest trial was the
association that her children bad with
the bad children in the public school.
Poor woiuan mistukeu motLer. It
would In dangerous to hint to her that
her boys were the talk of the town. I
remember t at about thirty years ago
an exacting, fractious teacher thumped
one of our boys on tho bead with a
book and called bi n a numbskull. It
didn't hurt him much, but it hurt
his mother, aud sin hasn't got over it
yet. I don't know which made her the
maddest tbe "numbskull" or the lick.
That is one good thing abont the pub
lic school system the teacher is not
afraid of the parents, and it is one bad
thing, for if he is a partial teacher or a
fractions man he ought to be afraid.
A few more weeks of politics and
then we will have peace, at least for
season. How many lies have been
told no man knowetb, but they are all
recorded and St. Peter keeps tho books.
1 read The New York Journal and
The Constitution every day, and when
I get through I know that Bryan will
be elected. Then I read unwillingly
The World aud my faith weakens and
my props are knocked from under un
til tho next day. And so it goes. I
elect Bryan and Sewall every morning
and unelect them before dinner, and
it's bnrting my digestion. But I'm
mad with these gold debaters who keep
preaching honest money and talking
abont repudiation. Dogon-'em, con
found 'em! They have depreciated
my little property 50 per cent
already. I borrowed $500 on a
town lot three years ago when
it was worth SI, 000 easy, and now
I can't get half that sum for it. It
has sbrnnk from an aore to half an
acre. It won't pay my debt, and 1 can't
hardly get the money to pay the semi
annual interest. That's a fact. Every
thing is shrunk but debts and grand
child ren. Now, just put me back
where I was pour it back in the iuar.
and stop all this talk about repudiation
and honest money. Do the money
lenders want the earth? This strife ia
bet ween the borrowers and the lendera
the poor and the rich and all we
ask is a restoration of the currency
an equalization of valnes. Repudia
tion, indeed 1 Money represents val
ues and the debtor class will gladly
surrender as much proporty as the dobt
calls for, if the property is valued at
what it was when the debt was made.
After the war notes that were given dur
ing the war were scaled according to the
law passed by the legislature. They
were reduced to a specie basis. A $500
bote could be paid with $100 or with
$50 or $10, according to its date. That
was right and it was not repudiation,
either. And now if a man or set of men
conspire to take away from me one
half the value of my property let him
scale bis debt to meet it. Let them
place me where they fonnd me. That's
justice It makes me tired to see these
bankers and money lenders swell up
and talk about repudiation. It's all a
one-sided business, "You take the
buzzard and I'll take turkey, or I'll
take the turkey and you take buzzard."
Tbey say turkey to me once. Bat all's
well that ends well. BrLL A bp in At

POOR AKMKMANS.
Refugees Trying to Reaeb Our
Shores.
There exists a condition of offalrs In Mar
seilles, France, at present which seems to be
a disgrace to Europe and to the Arraenlnn
Association generally throughout the world.
Substituting upon government, municipal or
private charity there, are 500 unfortunate
Armenians who have succeeded In escaping
from the bloody massacres at Constantinople
and who were, one and all, buoyed up by tho
hope of landing here, of being able eventu
ally, to reach tho United States. Weeks havo
already elapsed and nothing denude appears
to have been done for their relief, much loss
towards finding them homes, by any of the
many associations for the relief of suffering
Armenians orgauized in England or America.
They vre homeless, nearly all are pouuiles,
many are enduring the pangs of hunger and
yet nobody seems willing to guide this band
of refugees to somo place where they can be
gin life anew and under more promising cir
cumstances. Large amounts of money have been raised
in the past for the relief of destitute Armen
ians In Armenia, but the situation of the lat
ter Is not a whit worse than that of the half
starving people here, if as bad.
WHAT IS SAID 1 NEW YORK.
The arrival of the Constantinople Armenian
refugees at Marseilles on their way to this
country, raises an Interesting question as to
whether there will be any objections raised
to their lauding In this country on account ot
the immigration laws. Officials of Armen
ian societies In New York1 do not believe tho,
United States will be any less hospitable In
this respect than countries of Europe
which received them with open airan.
J. J. Brjoney secretary of the Philadel
phia Armenian Association of New
York and chairman of the executive commit
tee, said: "I do not believe there will be
any trouble about the lauding of Armenian
refugees iu this country on account of immi
gration laws. They are 1 y no means pau
pers. As a matter of fact, the Armenians are
a vry industrious race and I doubt greatly
If the Marseilles refugees, in all their distress,
could be classified as paupers. There are
In France and England rnuuy weil-to-do Ar
menians as there are In the United States,
aud if the Marseilles refugees should decide
to corns here I am sure they would not be
barred out for any reason."
THEY MUST BE EXCLUDKD.
The officials at Washkgton say: "If Ar
menians are destitute, as reported, and have
to be agisted to the United Btate under lra
mlarotlou laws they must be excluded and
net permitted o land.
POLITICAL PRKJUDICE

William J. Bryan arrived at the Hotel Bar

cheered him at the hotel entrance and he
tipped his hat and smiled in recognition. He
went direct to his room, and there, later, din
ner was served. Mr. Bryan's attention was
called to the burning of the Burns factory at
Worcester, Mass., and to the suggestion con
tained iu dispatches that the building may
have been set on lire by some one who felt
indignant at the action of Mr. Burns, last
Friday, in permitting the banging out of a
red Hag with Mr, Bryan's picture on it. Mr.
Bryan said:
"There is nothing that I care to say on the
subject. I do not believe that any advocate
of free silver would do harm to Mr. Burns
or to his property. While Mr. Burns's action
on Friday was not very courteous, I paid no
attention to it. He had a right to decorate
his building as he chose, even though the
decorations might be offensive to his politi
cal opponents, and bis neighbors have a
right to criticise his actions if tbey see fit to
do so. But if any one has attempted to
Injure him, or his property, such person
ought to be punished like any other violator
ct the law. No political reason can excuse
an attack on person or propertv. Oar cam
paign Is a campaign of education, and no
true friend of tbe cause will attempt to vio
late the law. no matter how bitter the gold
standard advocates may assail as or our
principles."
Mr. Sewall arrived at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel a short while before Mr. Bryan reach
ed the city. He parted company with Mr.
Bryan at New London. Conn. "I am of tbe
belief," said Mr. Sewall, "that Mr. Bryan's
tour of the New England States will redound
to the good of our ticket.
Mr, Bryan made speeches to big crowds at
Lynn, Providence, New Haven and New Lon
don. Evidently New Haven wished to make
amends for tbe reception Mr. Bryan received
there last week, for tbe depot sheds covered
a mass of enthusiastic humanity. The citl
Eens were there in force, both in point ot
number and in volume of lung-power. Mr.
Bryan spoke to them only a moment, but In
that moment he gave them opportunity to
disclaim any participation iu tbe riotous
demonstration of the collegians.
Mr. Bryan had just closed a few remarks
telling how pleasant bis trip through New
England had been, when be was interrupted
thus:
A voice: "There are no Yale students be:
to-dsv. Mr. Bryan."
Mr. Bryan: "Do not crltieizethe boys too
harshly. I am not inclined to criticize them
as some otbtrs, and attribute their Interrup
tion more to youthful exuberance than to any
deliberate Intention to interfere with free
speech.
He made a short speech at Providence, R.
I. He tot k bis text from a book by Prof. E.
Benjamin Andrews. The subject was a good
one, and the crowd cheered nim wildly.
At Lynn, Mass., he delivered a short
speech.
