Fire originated in the furniture de-
partment of Stafford Bros store Sun
day night, about 7:30 Itrapidly
spread before help arrived and soon
the entire building was enveloped in
flames. The store of A NJ Niece next
caught and was consumed. Police
man Vickers' house next caught and
was also consumed. The large whole
sale house of L 4 Jarvis caught sew
eral times but the flames were extin-
puished by heroic work. The build
ing of the Bank of North Wilkesboro
barely escaped.
Most of the property was covered by
insurance and the losses are as FOL
lIws:
Stafford Bros, store and goods,
about Sc, O0n; Insurance, 50, 800.
The Hustler office was also located
in this building; loss 800, no insur-
aDce.
The X. of p. Hall and L n Kicker
SONS law Office were also located in it
Neither was insured. The K. of 2
loss is about S175, and Hickerson's is
about 1926.
G w Upchurch had several sewing
machines stored in the building and

81, 500 insurance. He has saved some
of his goods.

and goods is about 1880, fully in
sured.
The entire loss is about Sl4, 900.

dered.
j. r. Caffey, L. N. Hickerson and
Gordon Jarvis narrowly escaped wit b
their lives and were severity singed
They were in HickersOn's office trying
to get out some books when the flames
broke through.
As kind Providence would have it,
the night was still, which prevented
the flames from spreading and doing
much more damage.

and Smith captured notorious Bill
Beckham," moonshiner and manu-
facturer Of stills near Kernersville a
few days ago. The story goes that the
officers covered Bill with their guns
and he offered no resistance.
They punctured the still, poured
out the dew and demolished things
generally. They carried Beckham
with them until they were out of the
woods and then released him, as they
had no process for him and had no
deputy marshal with them
Bill is said to be finished work
man and displays degree of skill that
would have made his fortune in a
legitimate industry. In a tobacco
barn they captured his kit OF tools, all
complete. They brought away his
still worm, the like OF which the Oldest
member OF the service had never seen
before. Instead OF curling around,
cork screw fashion, 1t zig Jagged like
an old time rail fence. At the joints

not say l mad made up my mind to
kill him; had l met up with though l
think L would have hurt him; when l
met DIR. Horton / had been studying
over the matter and | was pretty
mad; L expect If L had seen him any
where that evening would have shot

night for the same purpose; the same

when l went to N. & w. depot; when
L went TO Stock toms house l did not
know what he would say: / went
there to find out; l had the utmost
confidence in my wife at that time; I
did not expect TO find any proof there
that would shake that confidence;
would not have believed the state
ment of any man at that time against
my wife, especially a man who had
alleged he had wronged her; when /
was speaking to Paul about having
doubt about it, l had reference to my
wife having dUrbt as to the m IN, as
Paul had denied it to me; l don't
think L ever said that IL remained
several days before she told me ABOUT
il; it made me mad when Paul said
IuHo hik hU "hdU l.
Ebert there should be no trouble there
that night; | heard Ebert's testimony
yesterday and l said today what he
said in Stockton's house was about
correct and am not making many
corrections; | don't remember that /
said L was glad to have met him; |
did not believe what Paul had told; l
did not question the witnesses Paul
gave me about the intidelity of my
W fG. /
Paul said was true my wife would
break down AID tell me about ii; do
not remember telling any of her peo-
pie about leaving her; l never did
accuse Paul Of actual criminal assault:
my wife told Mr.. Joe Stockton that
Paul tried, but did not fully succeed
Redirect: When l went home from
Stockson'S told my wife that l had
been to see him; | told her what he
said; L said: 'Sallie, if what he has
said is true, just own it at once and
an end as | don't want any further
trouble; II you are to blame and will
go TO these people he has told me
about and they tell me anything in re-
gard to this to make me believe that
he has told the truth | am going to
leave you the first thing l do" then l
said: "Sallie, | am going to give you
rev minutes time To sLu1y over this
matter and il you are to blame, for
Gods sake tell me the truth and I'll
forgive you and Say with you" She
sat there for d few miDutes and then
said: Mr.. Harrison, between me and
you and my God, what he paul says
Is not true; what l told you at mas
thet day is the truth aud I'll stick TO

Which is nearly forty per cent. of
the consumption OF the United States.
Under the reciprocity provision of
the Dingley bill, a treaty could be
made with Cuba by which sugars from
there would be entered at a reduction
OF twenty per cent in duty; but as
this privilege is offered to all countries
alike, it would be no real advantage 10
Cuba over any other country, while
her sugars would still be at a disad-
vantage Of S1.35 per 100 pounds as COM
pared with sugars coming from the
countries TO be annexed. Owing 10
competition OF all the sugar producing
countries in the United States markets.
the price to the producer has already
dropped below the average cost of pro-
duction, only the best managed and
/ equipped estates being able to get any
profit"
How would these facts apply to
some one estate. TO give concrete eX-
ample?"
An estate in Cuba with a capacity
for making 10000 tons of sugar year
and this is not excessive-even under
the advantage of the reciprocity treaty,
would have to pay, upon entering its
sugars into the United States, duty OF
! 500 900 a year, to which would have
/ to be added further duties upon its
supplies entering into Cuba from the
United States of say $4,000 to $4,000
All this could be saved by a factory OF
equal size erected in Puerto Rico or the
Sandwich Islands. Such facts as these
will not tend TO draw capital TO the
Island OF Cuba.
Under such conditions as these II
would be most difficult, If not impos-
sible, for Cuba to recuperate. Very
many of her large sugar properties are
heavily indebted and must be recogniz-
ed. Where is the capitalist to be found
bold enough to invest money for such
purposes, without the assurance thai
his sugars after they are made will b'
allowed to enter into the United State:
upon at least equal terms with thos'
from any other sugar-producing coun
tries? While Cuba, in my opinion, car
produce sugars as cheaply as any othe
country in the world and needs no pro
lection, she cannot keep her place il
the race of competition under such
handicap"

SAN FRANCISCO, November 1S.-
The Custom House service is so bound
up in red tape that even the dead must
wait until the seals are broken leisure
ly and officially. Whether the corpse
be either that of a hero of Manila or of
a Chinaman from the Galapagos ISL
ands. it must wait its turn. a customs
broker addressed the following letter
to Collector Jackson:
Eek steamer Moana from Honolulu,
arrived this day, November 16. with
three boxes containing three corpses OF
United States soldiers who died in Ho-
noluIu, and their remains are now re-
turned to the United States.
AS appears by the manifest they are
consigned to Colonel Long at San
Francisco to forward to destination.
We would thank you to have a special
permit of delivery issued for these dead
soldiers to anable Colonel Long to for
ward to destination with as little delay
as possible.
The note was returned to- the broker
with this Endorsement:
Produce the bills of lading or get an
order from Colonel Long. z. b. ].
The Moana arrived on Wednesday
and the bodies were kept on board
awaiting the untying of red tape until
Thursday afternoon, when they were
delivered to the military authorities
without any permit whatever, and sim
ply on the promise that permit would
be obtained later on.
