in the past ten days there has been a decided
change in feeling, and the change has been in

every well informed person that the solid
Republican delegation from SUSSEX was for
Mr.. Addirks. The close friends Of Mr.. Hig-
gins would not admit this, but it was con-
coded 10y many Republicans who wished the
present Senator to succeed himself. From
the beginning of the contest between Mrssrs.
Higgins and tddicks the partisans Of the
former had been limiting that they would
bring out something against Mr.. Addicks
which would result in killing of the Clay
mont man as a Senatorial possibility. Well

OF the members from the two States, if
not a majority in each delegation, are

hope the party can get together and do
something during the session, so as to
have the vexatious question settled

are controlled by the Democrats.

Then Buys 1t In ut Low Figure-A
Shrewd Game.
New YORK, Dc. 10.-The most heart.
less trick yet played on the people o this
country came to climax Saturday on
the stock exchange. H. 0. Havemeyer,
the head of the sugar trust, and his
friends have finished their game and
pocketcd their immense gains, thought
to reach into the millions. For weeks
Mr.. Havemeyer proclaimed that the su.
gar industry was practically on the edge
of bankruptcy; that it was rapidly sue
cumbing to the i'll treatment he alleged
1t had received from the Congress, and
finally he made his bold stroke of pre-
tending to discharge all hands from the
sugar refineries Of the trust. and talked
Of closing these vast hives up for an In.
dsfnite period.
All this talk was mere stock. jobhing
ruse intrnded to do nothing more than
to break the price of sugar certificates In
the stock market and so enable Mr..
Havemeycr and his followers to get back
at low figure the stock they had doled
out to the public at prices far above par.
The price of 20 or Is was whispered as
the proper figure to which sugar should
slump. and it started to wards that point
at rapid gait. There was strong op.
position, however. and it reached a low
turning point at 80, and then for several
days there were cleverly scattered points
about reduction of the quarterly divi.
dend which was due about this time.
Friday the managers got together to
decide on the dividend. After the full
day had been uset by Havemeyer through
his well-posted brokers', and sugar had
175, 900 shares, came the voice from the
board room that the dividend should re-
main as at PRESENT. per cent. per
annum on the preferred and II per cent.
on the common. In declaring the COM
mon dividend the explanation was tackled
in to the declaration that the dividend
was "on earnings prior to Sept. L.
This is one of the fattest monopolies
the world has ever known. The stock
has been keep in violent ebullition on the
stock exchange, aud Haveme,er has al
ways been on the winning side there, SO
that grand profit of S50.oO0,0O

senting what sugar has brought to the

day afternoon at 4 o'clock. Mr.. Morley
had been in i'll health for several years,
and his familiar figure was seen on the
streets more and more infrequently. A
year or more ago his mind became
affected, and from that time he was
almost constantly under the watchful
eye Of some member of the family.
Ten days ago. Mr.. Worley, while there
was no one with him, fell into the fire
and was badly burned before the accident
was discovered. This, it is believed
FASTENED his death.
The funeral services over the remains
were conducted yesterday afternoon bv
Rev. !. X. Cannon. on Sandy Mush,
where the interment occurred at 4
o'clock.
Wiley Jackson Worley was born in
Sandy Mush township, Buncombe coun.
ty, about 67 years ago. He lived on his
farm until the campaign Of 1886, when
he " as nominated for sheriff Of Buncombe
on the Republican ticket. He was elected,
and since that time had made hts home
near Asheville. He was too easy" a
man for the position-he could scarcelv
refuse man when asked to put off the
collection Of taxes (this was before Bun
combe had tax collector in a separate
office) and the good old man seriously
injured himself financially by reason of
holding the Office.
Mr.. Morley was veteran OF the Mex
ican war, having served in the late Col.
Fagg's regiment. He was also in the
Union army a year. He was kind
hearted man, and claimed everybody
who knew him as his friend. In the
earlier part of his life he had been one of
the county's leading farmers. His demise
is the cause of universal regret on the
part OF bis wide circle of friends.
Mr.. Worlcy married Miss Rachel

wives him. Among the children are Mrs.
