DELK EXECUTED.
He Paid the Penalty of His Crime on the
Gallows.

Zebulon, Ga, June 1S.-Tom Delk was
hanged here this afternoon at 2:06
o'clock for the murder of ioneriff Gwynn.
The execution was orderly.
Delk faced death bravely.
The execution was not private, as it
was easy for the several thousand OF
those who surrounded the enclosure to
look through the clumsily strung rolls OF
bagging which shut in the gallows.
He was taken from the Jail at 1 :45. The
ride to the scaffold covered a little less
than ten minutes.
Delk made an address, saying he had
committed many crimes and bidding
everybody goodbye.
He expressed a wish to meet all those
present in heaven. He afterwards offered
up a most fervent prayer, which included
his mother, sisters, and his father, who
is now under sentence of death. He
prayed that justice be done the old man
saying with his last breath that he was
entirely innocent.

FOR THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
THE CONFERENCE AT FRANKLINTON A
PRONOUNCED SUCCESS.
The Remarks Of -Four Young Ladies Shows
that Women Are Leaders Not Alone in
Teaching but in Conferences.

Franklinton, n. c., June 19.-(Special.) }
The Sunday school conference of the
Raleigh district closed here last night af-
ter delightful session of three days.
A year ago it was disassociated from
the regular quarterly conference and the
place of meeting and programme put into
the hands of the president, B. W. Bal
lard. All have recognized the wisdom of
the change, and feel that the Sunday
schools will obtain new impetus.
The work of arranging the exercises
of advertising and securing representa-
tives largely fell on the president, and
he has most efficiently discharged his
duty. Every circuit but two was repre-
sented. 1t is of course impossible to give
any outline of the speeches and it will be
a pleasure to those who attended to
know that many of them will be printed.
But special attention should be called to
the excellent, timely and interesting talks
of four young ladies. A visitor was
heard to remark that it was no longer a
question whether women could talk as
well as men, but just the contrary. Three
of these young ladies are from Edenton
Street church, of Raleigh-Misses Maude
Merrimon, Daisy Young and Mary Pes
cud. The other, Miss Sallie Lou Best,
is from the Youngsville circuit All agree
that they gave the most striking and
beneficial part of the programme.
The music formed an attractive part,
especially solos by Misses Mamie Rob
bins and Maude Merrimon.
Judge Walter Clarke's address Tues
day morning on the practical side of
Sunday school teaching would have been
noteworthy on any occasion. DIR. Kilgo
added to this Tuesday night with SER
mon of great power on "MOses-A Type
of Faith"
Perhaps the most enjoyable occasion
of all was that of Wednesday night
when the Franklinton Sunday school,
under the management 0f Mrs. s. c..
Vann, gave both entertainment and in
struction to a crowded house 1t was
a forceful, convincing illustration of the
power for good in our Sunday schools,
and could but inspire every superintend-
ent and teacher to renewed exerti0ns.
Altogether the conference was de-
cided success. It will send out to every
Sunday school in the district an impulse
for more jealous work. And if mans
agency is to be considered the praise will
fall to it's president, B. w. Ballard, who
has done the hardest kind of work to
make it so; and it means another success
next year, in that he was reelected by
unanimous vote. Mr.. J. p. Hunt was
chosen vice-president and Jno. w. Moore,
secretary. The time and place for the next
meeting was left in the hands of the
president.

BUTLER AGAINST THE TREATY.
washington Starr


Mr.. Butler, who now stands with the
opposition and presents reasons for his
position, holds himself open to take diff
ferent position if he finds it proper to do
so. He said that as he now saw it, he
was opposed to the treaty, but he did ont
think any man should take a positive
stand against it until the question had
bene fully presented and carefully con-
sidered. The President might have some
good reasons to offer why the treaty
should be ratified. If so, he would like
to hear those reasons. They might out
weigh the objections.
AS it appeared to him now it seemed
to involve an entire change of policy-a
change that would involve the necessity
Of the United States making iteslf a
naval power equal to any in the world,
and it might be followed by the grabbing
Of territory anywhere in the world as a
means of extending our trade. This, he
said, would lead to a policy of expansion
of territory, free trade and gold stand
ard, and competition against the whole
world. All these possibilities should be
considered.
He thought there was better reason
for the annexation of Cuba. and that
Cuba might be annexed without change
from our time-honored policy of confin-
ing ourselves to this continent.

TREATY OF ARBITRATION
THE PRESIDENT HAS DETERMINED TO
REVIVE THE TREATY.
The Main Objections of the Abandoned Treaty
Are Eliminated in the One to be
Considered Next December

Washington, ID. c., June 19.-Presi-
dent Mckinley has determined to revive
the abandoned treaty Of general arbitra-
ton between the United States and
Great Britain. He has already turned his
attention to the subject and under the
direction of Secretary Sherman the mat
ter has progressed TO the extent that 4
new treaty already has been drafted to
serve as the basis of negotiations.
The President always has been an ad-
vocate of the settlement of international
disputes by arbitration and though dis
appointed in the reception accorded the
original treaty, he never has abandoned
hope of securing the adoption of such a
treaty. 1t is not thought the treaty will
be submitted TO the Senate before next
December. The personnel Of the Senate
is the same now as it was when the ar
bitration treaty was rejected, so it is
felt that nothing will be lost by allowing
some time to intervene before the ques-
ton is again brought to the attention of
the Senate. The attitude OF the Senate
towards a new treaty will be fully can
vassed and understood before the treaty
is signed. 1t is understood that the inia-
tive in the present case will be taken by
this government The failure of the for
mer treaty by the action of the Senate
left the subject in such condition that the
British government did not feel disposed
to renew negotiations unless first in
vited by the United States. Under these
circumstances the subject would have
lapsed had not officials at Washington
who were deeply impressed with the far
reaching character of an alliance be-
tween the two English speaking people,
taken up the question where the Senate
left it and set about devising means to
overcome the objections of the Senate.
Sir Julian Pauncefote leaves Wash
ington next Tuesday, sailing on Wednes-
day for Great Britain. 1t was under
stood at first that the ambassador would
take copy of the new treaty with him,
but this will not be done. 1t is expected,
however, that draft will be in London
at no distant date, in which case Sir Ju-
Ian will be in communication with the
foreign office to consider the terms Of the
instrument.
The main objections which the Senate
found to the former treaty were those
naming King Oscar of NOrway-Sweden
as fifth arbitrator; the inclusion of Ques-
tions of national policy, such as the
Monroe doctrine and the construction of
the Nicaragua canal; the exclusion Of the
Senate from passing upon each specific
subject of arbitration, and the fixed ten
ure of the arbitrators. -
