nltaneously. These were held in the
opera house, the Christian and Pres-
i i
bvtenau enurenes.
The niuetn session was opened
with devotional services conducted by
Rev. Eli Reeee, of Greensboro. Rev.
B. W. SpiUniE.il, of Kinston, then de
livered another ot his interesting ad
dresses on "Studies of Jesus as a
Teacher and Questioner." This is
the second address of Mr. Spillman
along this line. Mr. W. C. Pearce
followed with. "The Sunday School
Teacher." This was conducted in the
style of a round table. Dr. W. L.
Potent, president of Wake Forest
College, then addressed the conven
tion on "Children." He made one of
the most elaborate speeches of the
convention.
President George T. Winston, of
the A. & M. College, Raleigh, follow
ed with an address on "Temper
ance." Dr. Winston spoke for an
hour. He covered the subject from
beginning to end. He quoted his ex1
piriences and observations along the
line of temperance. Dr. Winston
made a strong speech. At the close
of his speech Rev. G. T. Adams, of
Durham, conducted the silent hour,
after which the convention adjourned
until 3 o'clock.
The afternoon session was opened
with devotional service, after which
Rev. B. W. Spillman again addressed
the convention. He spoke for an
hour, his subject being "The Boy
Problem." He went deep into the
question and gave the parents present
his ideas of how a boy should be
trained.
The election of officers for the en
suing year followed. Many nomina
tions were put before the convention.
Maj. J. J. Bernard in his nomination
of Rev. C. Brown Cox, of Burlington,
for president said that Mr. Cox was
the livest wire in North Carolina to
day. Mr. Cox was made president.
Rev. Byron Clark, of Salisbury, vice
president, and J. W. Case, of Greens
boro, treasurer. The secretary is yet
to be elected. Conferences on va
rious subjects were then held. ,
At the closing session of the con
vention at night it was again neces
sary to open two churches for the
accommodation of those who could
noi press into the convention hall.
The principal address was by Dr.
James A. B. Scherer, president of
Newberry College, South Carolina, in
his highly entertaining and instruc
tive "Sidelights of the Orient." Af
ter recounting many incidents of his
boyhood days spent in and around
Burlington, the speaker entered upon
his subject, holding the undivided at
tention of his vast audience more
than an hour.
The selection of a secretary, de
d until this session, was taken
-ud and disposed of in the re-election
of Miss Maude Reid, of Raleigh.
The convention then adjourned to
meet in Concord next year.
To Erect Tnbercnlar Ward.
Morganton, Special. The beard of
directors of the State Hospital met
here last week. Present; J. P. Cald
well, president; and Directors J. A.
McMinn, A. A. Shuford, I. I. Davis,
A. E. Tate, James K. Norfleet and C.
H. Armfield. The plans for a tuber
cular ward for female patients were
examined and approved. This ward
is to consist of a wooden building of
one story, 22x47 feet, to be erected
at the end of the south wing of the
main building. It is to accomodate
twenty-five female patients and is not
to exceed $2,500 in cost. Work will
begin on it at a very early date. In
formation was given the board by the
superintendent in regard to the
nurses' building authorized last week
by the State Hospital Commission.
This building is to be erected on the
front grounds, to be of brick ,two
stories, and to accommodate seventy-
five nurses ,thus relieving the female
department of the Hospital by so
much and giving room to as many pa
tients as there will be nurses who
will vacate. The cost of the building
will be $20,675. The report of the
superintendent, Dr. John McCamp-
bell, showed that at the beginning of
the present quarter there were present
1,123 patients; that the demand for
room for both men and women pa
tients persists; that the health of the
inmates of the house is good.

Winston-Salem, Speeial. The peo
pie of Winston-Salem are more de
termined than ever to have the or
phanage which will be established by
the Western North Carolina Confer
ence of the Methodist church. The
selection of the site for the institu
tion, will be at a meeting of the direc
ors in Charlotte next Tuesday and it
is very likely that the bid made by
Winston-Salem will be accepted. The
Methodists have secured subscrip
tions to, the amount of $10,000 among
Centenary's membership and it is be
lieved that $5,000 more can be secur
ed from the citizens generally. A
meeting of the committee from the
board, Mr. A. H. Eller chairman, was
held. The 'committee was organized
and the members were given a list
of parties to see between now and
Saturday afternoon, 'when another
meeting will be held to canvass the
result of the efforts. The amount
the members of the committee receive
will be added to the amount sub
scribed by the Methodists and the
fotal will be Winston-Galem 's bid. A
member of the committee stated that
he felt sure that the bid would be as
much as $15,000, as the people of the
citv would not let such an institution
go by for the lack of $5,000. It i
believed that a $15,000 bid will secure
this institution for the Twin City.
The committee went to work at once
and hopes to meet with a prompt and
liberal response from the citizens of
the city. ,

more than one square mile of the
manufacturing, business and tene
ment district of Chelsea Sunday en
tailing a loss estimated at fully $11),-
000,0u0. The fire started at 10:40 a.
m. near tne rioston .Blacking Com
pany's works on West Third street,
near the Everett City line, and
crossed the city, a distance of one
mile and a quarter to Marginal, op
posite the east Boston shore. So far
as can be learned there was one fa
tality. Half a hundred persons
were injured.
Among the buildings burned were
13 churches, Frost Hospital, Chil
dren's Hospital, City HalL Fitz Pub
lic Library, five school houses, a doz
en or more factories and about 300,
tenements and dwellings.
The residential section of the city
where the wealthier class reside, es
caped the flames.
In the retail section, through
which the fire passed, were 200 busi
ness blocks which were destroyed.
The United States Marine Buildings
were not damaged.
Fire Under Control.
The Chelsea fire was practically
under, control at 9 o'clock Sunday
night. The women are known to be
dead as a result of the fire. Neither
body has been identified.
The fire originated in the rear of
the Boston Blacking Company's
works on West Third street, near the
eastern division of the Boston &
Maine Railroad and in close proxim
ity to the Everett City line. A terri
fic gale from the northwest, which
at times had a velocity of 60 miles
an hour, carried burning shingles,
embers and myriads of sparks to a
score of wooden buildings, most of
them of cheap wooden construction
The fire started almost in the ex
treme southwest section of the city
and cut a path to the end of Mave
rick street at the extreme southeast
ern nd of the city, which borders on
Chelsea creek. This point is about
one mile and a quarter from the point
where the conflagration began. The
f ames swept through the heart of the
retail business section, which was
about midway between the two ex
treme limits reached by the fire.
Exact Cause Not Known.
Would-Be Robbers Jailed.
Elizabeth City, Special Two white
men entered the store of W. N. Long
at Peopin, Perquimans county, Tues
day evening with intent to rob. 'While
one of the men engraered the proprie
tor in conversation the other struck
him a terrible blow on the hesd with
a black iack. inflictins an usiv wound.
I The victim's screams frightened his
assailants aAvay, at the same time at
tracting a number of neighbors to the
scene, who formed a posse and went
in pursuit of the would-be murderers.
The two men were captured at Hert
ford later and placed in jail. In a
magistrates court they were bound
over to the Superior court in default
of $500 bond each they were placed
in jail.

lator cars loaded with lettuce
went forward to the Philadelphia
market the shipments being made
from Wrightsboro, Delgado, Gordon,
Wilmington' and other, points in this
section. During the past fortnight
forty refrigerator cars have gone for
ward, not to mention the thousands of
baskets that have been sent by ex
press. It is expected that the ship
ments will be unusually heavy the
present week.

W. Harvey, of the Tobacco Board of
Trade, reports the sales of leaf .tobac
co on the Greenville market for the

been curtailing production for some
time and some step looking towards
shutting down the mills for a period
is contemplated. ,

The fire started on
dering the eastern d
the Boston & Maine
rear of the Boston! Blacking Com
pany's works, where employes were
at work drying out rags. The com
pany's works are situated at the end
of West Third street, half a mile
rorthwest of the heart of the city.
A series of long, low wooden build
ings comprised the works, stored for
the most part with old rags and pa
per. The exact cause of the fire is
not known, but it is supposed that
spontaneous combustion among the
rags was responsible.
A high Avind, blowing at 45 miles
an hour from the northwest drove
the flames from the rag heaps direct
ly upon the wooden buildings of the
Boston Blacking Company.
The buildings were soon a mass of
flames and as surrounding property
consisted largely of Avooden building's
used for storage of rags, the fire de
partment realized thafc a serious fire
was threatened, and a general alarm
was sounded.
Realizing that the city was appar
ently doomed if the flames could not
be stopped at Everett avenue. Fire
Chief H. A. Spencer summoned help
from Boston and all the surrounding
cities and towns. Four alarms were
rung in on the Boston circuit and all
the available apparatus was sent
across the harbor. Early in theaf
ternoon aid had arrived from Ever
ett, Lynn, Haverhill. Wakefield, Sa
lem, Maiden, Cambridge, Winthrop
and Revere.
Shipment of Chadbourn Berries Be
gins. Wilmington, N. C.f Special. Re
quisition was made for seven refria:
erator cars for strawberry shipments
from the Chadbourn section, and
twenty cars are asked to be iced for
Monday. The first berries appeared
on this market Saturday and sold
readily at 25 cents a quart. The
shipments to the North have not yet
been sufficient to establish a market
for the North Carolina fruit. The
coming week the moVements is ex
pected to reach 75 or 100 cars dailv.
Columbia, S. C., Special. Attor
ney General Lyon returned from
Washington, where he has been for
several days, accompanied by Mr. D.
Wi Sountree, of Atlanta, of counsel
for the dispensary commission. Mr.
Lyon stated very emphatically that
the dispatches sent out from Wash
ingto to the effect that he had made
a motion before Chief Justice Fuller
in the dispensary matter were erro
neous, btlng utterly! without founda
tion ami unauthoizexl by him. He
said that as a matter of fact he and
Mr. Rountree had called on Chief
Justice Fuller and had talked with
him in regard to the procedure which
could be adopted to! get the case up
speedily before the highest tribunal
in the land, but that he had made no
motion at all. The case, it appears,
has some unusual features, and there
is little precedent for getting the mat
ter before the Supreme Court with
out going through the usual formali
ties of appeal. If a motion were made
before the Chief Justice, it would be
a motion for an ordjer to show cause
why a supersedeas I should not be
granted, but it has not been decided
to take this step.
The order of Judge Pritchard,
granting a , supersedeas on conditions
was not served until Friday when it
was received through the mail by
Chairman Murray and the other mem
bers of the commission as well as by
Attorney General Lyon, from the of
fice of the clerk of jthe Federal Court
in Charleston. The order is dated
April 8th and requires compliance
within five days from date of order,
the members of the commission have
now only three days to arrange their
personal affairs so as to take an en
forced absence from business, for a
longer or shorter period.
The commission will not give the
heavy bond required by Judge Pritch
ard and will not surrender the collat
eral which he requires to be surren
dered, so that the commission will be
in contempt in refusing to obey the
order to deposit the collateral with
the Federal Court. As a matter of
fact, the collateral is not in the pos
session of the commission, but is with
the State Treasurer, and has been in
his possession for a long time, even
before the books and records of the
dispensary were placed in the Treas
urer's vaults, so that the commission
can make answer that the collateral
is not in its possession at all, and it
cannot comply with the primary and
most important condition of Judge
Pritchard 's order. Of course, if
Judge Pritchard can get hold of the
collateral, he has the case in nis
hands absolutely and, of course, the
State is not going to surrender the
collateral.
Judge Pritchard may serve an or
der on State Treasurer Jennings, but
it happens that Captain Jennings is
in Mississippi and not at this time in
the jurisdiction of Judge Pritchard 's
court. He is having a pleasant visit
out there and is 'doubtless not in any
hurry to return, unless he is request
ed to come home by Governor Ansel.
The Governor will not, however, ask
the Treasurer to couie back to give
up the collateral, and he will not in
struct any one to give it up, because
the State is going to keep its hands
on the collaterals.. These collaterals
were deposited as security for the de
posits of the dispensary money with
the various banks of the State, and
the banks will not pay out the money
their securities back.

Albany, T.-r-Governor Hughes
took up the gauntlet of battle thrown
down by the Senate when his race
track bills failed to secure the const!
tutional majority of votes, and con
inced his opponents that his declara
tion that "the light is just begun
was no idle boast. In a message to
the Legislature the Governor repeat
ed his demand that the constitutional
inhibition against race track gamb
ling be reinforced by suitable legisla
tion. He included in his message a fur'
ther demand that other legislation
recc .r 4d by him be pressed upon
withou aeiay.
That the Governor is full of fight
and intends to exert the full power of
his office to run off the dead heat,
which gave the race track people a
temporary advantage, was indicated
by the peremptory tone of his mes
sage to the Legislature. This docu
ment created consternation among
the supporters of the race tracks, who
did. not anticipate so speedy an ac
ceptance of their challenge. Even
while they were counting the cost to
the race track promoters of prevent
ing the passage of the racing bills the
Governor was preparing for his, move"
of reprisal.
Developments here indicate "ihat
Governor Hughes' fight to aave
passed the anti-race-track gambling
legislation may broaden in scope un
til it includes a stumping campaign:
in the Niagara-Orleans district on
the gambling issue, a direct battle
with the Senate on the question
whether a successor to the late Sena
tor Franchot may be seated or not,
and perhaps appeals to the courts,
which may reopen most of the points
in controversy in the fight over the
constitutionality of the reapportion
ment act of 1906, thrown ont by the
Court of Appeals last year.
Apparently the racing forces intend
firstof all to try to prevent a special
election for a successor to Senator
Franchot. If worsted, they have de
clared that they will fight to prevent
his being seated, and that fight will
reopen all the question over the pow
ers and rights of the de facto Senate
or any one of its members. Into
such a battrethe entire Senate must
be drawn, and in that case the atti
tude of the Republican organization,
or even of individual Republican lead
ers, several of whom have showed
their antagonism toward the Gov
ernor, must prove of the utmost im
portance. The general situation here is as
suming a tenseness and bitterness
which serve better than anything else
to illustrate the absolute desperation
of the racing interests. Governor
Hughes: refusal to consider himself
beaten and his prompt and vigoroua
measures to continue the fight have
convinced them that now it will be a
battle to the death, and that they,
instead of the Governor, will be on
the defensive. Some indication ot
this is given by the flood of lettera
souring in on those Senators who
voted against the anti-gambling legis
lation. All the fight now will centre
around the special election in the Niagara-Orleans
district. Governor
Hughes issued a proclamation for this
election, to be held on May 12. At
that time, without question, a special
session of the Legislature will have
convened, and the newly elected Sen
ator will be prepared to take his seat.

OLD MAX, LOVE-MAD, KILLS GIRL
OUTLOOK FOR HARVESTS.
Wheat, Cotton, Corn and Minor Crops
Have Excellent Starts.
New York City. The outlook for
1908 is for continuance of abundance
and continuance of demand. The
winter wheat crop escaped early
threats and is reasonably certain to
be up to the average of recent years.
Conditions of soil and weather for
spring sowing are more than good;
spring wheat, cotton, corn and the
minor crops start out under excellent
auspices. The marketing o.f 1907
crops is virtually completed and has
been a source of great wealth to the
American farmer. Prices have been
maintained at highly remunerative
levels, resulting in large accretion of
individual and communal wealth.
However disturbed may have been
the financial eantres of the country,
not one thing has happened to impair
the prosperity or the productive cr
consumptive power of the agricul
tural community. As often main
tained, agricultural prosperity is the
basis the absolute foundation of
national prosperity; while it exists
and expands no serious damage can
come from the temporary temps3ts
of the sphere of finance.
Decline in Apiary Industry.
Canadian Government returns
show that the number of hives of
bees in Ontario ha3 decreased from
216,734 in 1900 to 166,811 in 1907,
and the value from $1,139,559 to
$885,196. Of the thirty-three sam
ples in the Kingsion district all
were found genuine. In most of the
other districts a percentage was
found to be adulterated with sugar,
cane syrup and corn syrup.
Thrice
Married and 59, He

Was
Pittsburg. Dorothy Yost, a beau
tiful sixteen-year-old singer in the
choir of the First Presbyterian
Church, of McKee's Rocks, a suburb
of this city, was shot and killed by
Samuel L. Gardner, aged fifty-nine,
a leading citizen and prominent
church worker. Gardner then shot
himself through the mouth, his body
falling over the dead girl. He died
two hours later.
It was one of the most remarkable
tragedies in the history of Western
Pennsylvania. The girl, who was
