6ongressmen Enlightened as to the
Objects off the Or nnization.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3-Many congress-
men have received a card from the
American Protective association set
ting forth its objects as follows:
First. The American Protective as
sociation is organized for the purpose
of purifying politics; is d non-sectarian
and non-pariisan organization, COM
pcsed only of true American citizens,
without regard TO nationality.
Second. While we unite to protect
our country and free insti utions, we
attack no mans religion, so loug as he
does not attempt to make it an element
in political power.
Third. Our aim is to preserve and
maintain the government OF the United
States and the prime ipies OF the declar-
alton of independence as set forth by
the founders against the encroach-
ments of all foreign influences.
Fourth. We regard all religio-politi-
cal organizations as the enemies OF
civil and religious liberties.
Fifth. 1t is, in our opinion. unsafe
and unwise TO appoint or elect to civil
or military offices in this country men
who owe supreme allegiance to any
foreign king, potentate or ecclesias-
tical power, or who are sworn to obey
such power.
Sixth. We are in favor of maintain
| ing one general, nnsectarian free school
system, and will oppose all attempts to
| supplant by any sectarian institution.
We are opposed to the use of public
funds for any sectarian purpose.
| Seventh. We are in favor of chang
| ing our immigration laws in such a
manner that they will protect our
citizen laborers from the influences OF
| panper and criminal labor, which,
through the instrumentality of Euro.
| pean propagandist societies, are rapidly
supplanting our free and educated
| American citizens in every line of in.
dustry; but We do not oppose honest
and educated immigrants who come
for the purpose of becoming American
citizens, and who will forsweal
allegiance to all foreign potentates and
powers.
Eighth.-We are in favor of putting
into Office honest and true patriots
who are qualified, and who owe
allegiance only to the stars and stripes

Presidential Bees Said to BE Indus

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 Congress will
have plenty of business to begin work
upon when it assemblies in December.
The committees have not been idle
during the extra session and have
placed upon the calendars of both sem
ate and house number of bills which
will be called up at an early day. In
the house there viii be the pending
business. the bankruptcy bill. General
Oates has lost all hope of getting vote
on his measure at this ses.
sion. During the time that
yet remains for its consideration
before the adjournment he will en-
deavor to have an agreement reached
by which the bill will be considered
under the fve-minute rule. This
means that it will be read by para
graphs and be open to amendment.
The most bitter fight will come on
some of these amendments. The bill
will be attacked in every quarter.
There are propositions to consider other
bills now pending before the
committee on rules, but no action
will be taken until the reassembling Of
the house, as what shall be taken up
will depend almost entirely upon the
state of the tariff bill and the time
when the house will be ready to con-
slider it. The house could keep itself
reasonably busy if there should be no
adjournment, but it could not keep a
quorum If there was any voting to be
done

Deputy Prosecutor Hastings. as it is
believed she may influence her husband
to tell straight story concerning the
inhuman crime he committed. There
is no doubt in the minds of any now
but that Stone has lied on the others
and is guilty himself of the murder,
but they will not be released until the
matter is thoroughly sifted.

owing to the vast demand in this section,
is the manufacture of turpentine stills.
In this enterprise Mcmillan Bros, whose
mammothl esta blishment lis at the corner
of Liberty and Price streets, this city,
are the leading manufacturers in the
world. For a number of years this firm
has been diligently working to supply the

and are better prepared than ever to rush
any work that may fall in their way.
Turpentine stills and fixtures are
their specialtics. They are also pre-
pared TO do all kinds of copper work and
repairs at short notice and in the best
style. They have large factory at Fay
etteville, n. c., which was established
many years ago, when North Carolina

is safe to state that Mcmillan Bros. of
Savannah and Fayetteville have made
and sold more turpentine stills than any
