The Tammanyites Claim That Boss
Croker is the Greatest of Them All
and Has Won q Victory Where
Others Would Have Failed.

There is no longer doubt that the re
p1blicans have majority of the legis
lature by four. This gives the repub
licans the power to elect Hanna az
United States senator. 1t was aunounc-
ed here, however, that there are nine
republicans who will not vote for him.
These are believed to be five fusion re-
publicans from Hamilton county, three
Mex sson members from Cuyahoga,
and Snyder of Green county.

NEW YORK, November 4.-En-
thusiastie Tammany men are saying
today that Richard C-ocker is the
States. They say that Platt ia beaten.
German is beaten, Hanna has lost
prestige, and the opposition to Quay
in Pennsylvania is growing. Crocker
on the other hand has won a great vic
tory aud swung the state of New York
into the democratic column after it
gave Mckinley 2S. 900 plurality year
ago. Moreover. he will control city

parently astir with vengeful resurrec-

A Texas Veteran and States
man Passes Away.
FAITHFUL TO TEXAS
The Father OF the Annexation ResOlu-
tiOn, the Hero of Monterey and the
Leader of Brave Rangers Dies in
His Old Age.

SAN ANTONIO, November 4.-Col
John S. Ford, known throughout Texas
as Col. Grip Ford, Indan fighter,
statesman and veteran, died last night.
Col. Ford was eighty-two years old and
was stricken with paralysis October l
and has fingered between life and death
until last night, when the thread
snapped and u noted fgure in Texas
passed to that great beyond.
Col. John S. Ford was a native of
Sou h Carolina, but his brilliant mill
tary career began when he arrived in
San Augustine. Texas, in 1916.
His first services began when he
headed an expedition against the In
dians in 1914. He was then elected to
the Texas congress and he opposed the
proposed treaty with England by which
the annexation of the Lone Star repub-
lie to the United States was to be pre-
vented and at q special session of con-
gress called in 1S45 Col. Ford intrOduc-
ed bill for the annexation of Texas to
the United States.
During the war between the United
States and Mexico, Col. Ford took q
prominent part and for his dash aud
ga'lsntry at the battle of Monterey he
was given the cognomen of "Old Rip"
The Texans under him carried the
stronghold of the bishops palace and
this give the Americans the key to the
city which Immediately cspitulsted.
He was also prominent in the battle of
Buena Vista and followed General Tay-
lor to the City of Mexico.
After the war he returned to Texas
and was for years the commander of
the Texas rangers, and was always ac-
lively engaged with Indians or mar
suding parties throughout Texas.
At the breaking out of the civil war
he joined the forces of his adopted
state and was in the thick of battle
wherever called. After the war he
settled in Brownsville, but was always
prominent in the community and state
and at one time edited paper in
Brownsville. He was a member of the
constitutional convention in 1876, and
worked hard for the adoption of the
constitution under which Texas is now
working. He has at different times
served in the legislature and was al
ways recognized as man of brains and
good judgment.
Slowly, but surely, are passing away
the veterans of Texas early history
ard with the passing of Col. John S.
Ford one of the most prominent figures

Bill for a Commission introduced in
the Legislature.

The Experiment Station regrets to
announce that the dreaded San Jose
scale has reached North Carolina.
Bulletin No 139 describes the char
acter of this destructive pest, the
damage which it has done to the
fruit industry in other states, and
what it is likely to do in North Caro-
lima unless it is stamped out at once
It is stated in the bulletin that from
a single pair, three billion insects
may result in a single season. Al
though these scale insects do not
move from one place to another of
their own accord, yet they are blown
by the wind or else carried on the
feet of birds to other orchards not in
Tested. Such is the rapidity of in
crease that these orchards will soon
be covered and the trees will be de,
stroyed in very short while, besides
begin standing menace to other
localities. The Horticultural So
ciety, aided by the Experiment Sta
sion, has prepared a bill which is
now being considered by the legisla-
ture, the purpose of which is to ap-
point an uhsalaried commission to
prevent the introduction and spread
of such pests There are other in
sects and fungous pests as bad as the
San Jose scale. The Commission, if
established, will prevent large losses
in horticultural and agricultural
crops from other pests. Some of
these pests are the cotton boil weevil,
DOW proceeding northward from
Mexico and Texas; the Gypsy Moth
(to destroy which the State of Mas
sachusetts has already spent $780,
000); the tobacco leaf miner, re-
Gently discovered insect Of most
destructive tendency; and the peach

He was placed in the guard house
and Sheriff Logan wired Immediately.
The sheriff arrived that evening and
returned his prisoner to the Jail at
Yorkville. Before the arrival of
Logan the negro came near breaking Q
out of the guard house.
Rumor has been afoat that this

statement corroborates the rumor.
He says he was sent to BIacksburg

AFTER THE MINT.
Senator Sharpe of IredeIl Seems to be
i'm the Lead.

LCdOs
Capt. W. E. Ardrey has his house
(the Mint) in order awaiting the
summons from Washington to go
hence. Capt Ardrey will move back
to his farm near .Pineville.
Just at this juncture it is inter
esting speculation as to who the
lucky applicant will be. A report
that seems to have some reliable
foundation is to the effect that
Senator A. G. Sharpe, of Iredell, is
to get the mint. Senator Sharpe
mas been a stauneh supporter of
Senator Pritchard, and was one of
his most trusted lieutenants in the
recent senatorial fight. The rumor
has it that Senator Pritchard will
reward Mr.. Sharpe for his splendid
work by giving him a four years
lease on the mint salary Other ap-
plicants for the position are DR..
Houston of Davidson, Representative
w. s. Clanton, of this county, and
one or two others.
It is generally believed among the
Republicans that Senator Sharpe
will be the fortunate one.

WAR OF WORDS.
DIR. Alexander and Henry Have Live
Iy Tilt Before the Senate Committee.

At the hearing of the Charlotte
police bill before the Senate COM
mittee, Thursday night, Mr.. Walter
R. Henry and DR.. J. B. Alexander
had warm tilt. Mr.. Henry claimed
that as he was chairman of the
Populist executive committee and
attorney for the Republicans his
word should be law.
DR.. Alexander said in reply that
he did not favor the bill and that,
furthermore, Mr.. Henry had been
repudiated by the Populists of
Mecklenburg.
This brought Mr.. Henry to his
feet again and this time his anger
was not to be misunderstood. Ad-
dressing himself to DR.. Alexander,
he said: "This is the thanks and
gratitude I receive for taking you
out of the depths of 70 years obliv-
ion and making you senator" To
this DIR. Alexander replied: "You
tried to be senator but could not"
