Winston, n. c., July 30.-(Special)--
The Winston Republican prints the
following letter from Judge Russell,
Republican candidate for Governor:
s1There will be no joint discussions
between candidates for Governor ex-
cept such as may be agreed to by our
campaign committee. The sentiment
among our friends seems to be against
the policy and practice of joint dis
cussions between any of the candl-
dates. am disposed to agree with
them. l am clear that as rule we
should discourage joint debates. we
are only drawing crowds for the bene-
fit of our adversaries. The custom Is
not productive of good feeling or gooo
order. 1t has been substantially aoan-
doned in most of the States where 1T
was the practice. There were no JOINT
discussions in North Carolina III the
last campaign for Governor and very
few between any candidates i'll 1898.
While | think that as rule we should
hold our own meetings and that our
speakers should refuse to divide time
with opposition speakers, | would pre-,
fer to invite Mr.. Watson to meet me
at my appointments up to ABOUT Ihe
middle of September, with the under
standing that afterward joint debates
will cease, as [ will be accompanies
bv other Republican speakers who VIII
each day cover all the time.
To the above the Republican ADDS
the following editorial comment:
There is no question but that the
views expressed by Judge Russell Will
meet the approval of large majority
of the thinking men of the State. The
requisites of joint canvass are not
only a severe strain upon the physlcal
man. but are calculated to arouse I'M
due and unnecessary political passion
and prejudice. Judge Settle shortened
his DAYS by his ever memorable cam
paign with Senator Vance, while the
latter also was not the same in accus-
toned strength and vigor after the
contest"

Mrs Eliza Partridge Raney, reIict Of
the late Thos. n. Raney, died at her

feet, rising from the Boulevard to River

At the point where the proposed avenue

an interesting story of his researches into

fifty feet wide, and each of the sidewalks
twenty feet wide. There will be four rows
of trees in the approach, as we'll as in tho
boulevard, chiefly elms and horse chest
nuts. The square, which is 44O feet
square approximately, will be surrounded
by horse chestnut trees. The flights of steps
above and below the fountain are fifty
feet. At intervals on the staircases will
be bay trees.
The interior of the monument will be
most interesting. The main part of the
structure under the great dome is to be

tomb, stained glass windows will let in

the middle of memorial hall, circular
opening eighteen feet in diameter and sur
rounded by an iron railing will permit the
visitor to look down at the coffin as it
rests on the sarcophagus in the middle of
the crypt below.
At each of the four corners of the maui
soleum will be a square pier. and these
piers will be hollow. In the two southern
ones spiral stairways will admit visitors to
the crypt, where they will walk entirely
around the .rcophagus, which will be
raised enough to allow them to read the
inscriptions on it and the coffin.
In the two northern piers will be an ex-
hibition of Grant relics. In these inches
will be shown battle flags, swords carried
by the general and other souvenirs OF
Grant. Spiral stairways in the corner
piers will allow visitors to climb up to the
top of the base or square part of the struct-
ure. Here they can walk out on balcony
around the circular part of the monument,
from which fine view of the Hudson and
upper part of the city may be had.
The lower part of this round portion is to

TERRIBLE THOUGHT WAVES
How They Are Liable to Strike a
Fellow
Bisvatsky's Successor Is Afraid to Expose
Himself to Their Awful Power-The
Soclety's Real Origin

NEW YORK, April 16.-There are some-
thing like 100000 Theosophists in this
country, every one of them being in fever
heat because of great things that are billed
to happen at the next annual convention
of the society, which takes place in Scottish
Rite hall on Madison avenue on the Goth
and 9th of this month.
Just what is going to happen is cloaked
in the deepest mystery that the Mahatmas
can create. None of the adopts at dealing
with the occult care to use their art to read
the future, much less tell about it to pro-
fame writer for newspapers. 1t seems that
thought waves are flying around the theo-
sophcal world at terrific rate just now,
and some of the members are afraid of be-
ing hit and killed by an extra strong
thought wave.
The fundamental reason of the presence
of these tragic thought waves and of all the
feverish excitement hinges on the recent
death of William Q. Judge, the head of the
American Theosophists and chief go
between with the Mahatmas. When
Mr.. Judge died the leadership twas left
vacant. but it has already been filled by
the invisible hand of the MRhatma. Who
the new leader is the rank and file of

The organization was completed October
80, 1875"
In 1879 Colonel Olcott and Nine. Bla-
vatsky went to India, and by giving
series of lectures in the larger cities of that
vast country established the doctrines of
Theosophy among the credulous and
mystic-loving natives. These shrewd
leaders were determined to give some
foundation for the assertion that Theo-
sophy reigned in India long before the adj
vent of Christianity, by establishing it
there as soon as they could. Their efforts
have been successful, as nine out of every.
ten members of the ninety-one branches of
the Iheosophical society in this country
firmly believe that India never knew the
day when Theosophy did not run rampant
there.
But these facts will be ignored with 81
lent contempt at the coming convention,
and the invisible hand of the invisible
leader can be counted upon to do wonder
full things.
