10 the police barracks and report the mat
ter.
The fight was near Tom Golden's sa-
LOOM at Bay and Lumber Streets where
the men met for the first time after their
previous dispute. 1t was but a moment
after meeting until the were exchanging
hot words Harris is reported to have
struck the first blow, which was dealt
Robinson in the face. This caused him to
step back a short distance, pun a pistol
and fire two shots In quick succession, one
of which took effect.
Being attracted by the pistol reports,
Golden appeared on the scene and placed
Robinson under arrest, taking him in a
hack to the police barracks. Detective
Barrett was met on the way and took
charge of the case for the purpose Of get
ting up the evidence.
Harris was suffering considerably from
the wound, but was able to walk. He
was taken to the Georgia Infirmary for
treatment.

Wheat 50 a RurheL

Some farmers are holding their wheat
because they think the price will go to
81 bushel. The price, however, may go
down instead of up, and thus great losses
will follow delay in selling. In all mat
tiers delays are dangerous, particularly so
in sickness. At the first sign of bilious
ness, dyspepsia, Indigestion or constipa-
tion cure yourself with Eostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Don't wait for your con-
dition TO improve itself, for it is apt to
get worse still.-ad.

HERE ARE THE FACTS.
The Whole State Ought to Thank Col
Carr and Mr.. Vanderbilt.

To the Editor: In letter published
in the'"IIomc Rule" dated August 18th,
1898, over the signature of John f..
Fowler, addressed to Hill T.. King, III
which references made to the action OF
Mr., King in opposing an Appropriation by
the Agricultural Department to aid the
North Carolina State Fair in increasing
its premiums in the department, espe-
cialy interesting to the farmers of the
State, note this sentence, among others
equally erroneous:
"JUDGING FROM THE PAST,
MESSRS. JULIE CARR, WANDER
BIIT AND A FEW OTHERS
WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE
MONEY" Etc.
This is an unfair and an unjust assault
on the gentlemen named. and upon what
incident of the past Mr.. Fowler passes
his charge / am unable to understand
Mr.. Vanderbilt has exhibited TWICE
at our State Fairs, in 1896 and in 1897.
In 1896, he was beaten for the first
premium in agricultural products by a
farmer from Forsythe county. In 1897
he did not receive premiums enough to
pay his freight bill to and from Raleigh.
He sent his exhibits to the State Fair
at the EARNEST solicitation of the
managers of the Fair, and for every one
dollar awarded him in premiums he
must have spent not less than $40. Mr..
Vanderbilt's agents came in person TO the
Fair and gave their attention to their
exhibit, which was n credit to him and
to the State and for which he is en-
titled to the thanks of every patriotic
North Carolinian.
"Jule Carr" as Mr.. Fowler familiarly
calls him, was president of the State
Fair for two years. How much that
honor cost him | do not know, and per-
haps no one else but himself. 1t is but
justice to him to state that while Mr.
Carr was president, although his eN-
hibts were very handsome. he absolutely
refused to allow any article OF his to
he entered in competition for premiums.
After his retirement from the presidency,
Mr. Carr continued to make handsome
exhibits at the State Fair. but he has
never collected Il single dollar for pre-
miums. On the contrary, Mr.. Carr has
offered premiums to be competed for by
others, and it has been but Il very short
time ago that handsome gold medal
was made i'll the city of Raleigh and for
warded to II premium winner at Mr..
Carr's expense, and to a person III no
way connected with him. There now
stands on the books of the society to the
credit of Mr.. Carr all the premiums ever
awarded to him, and he has never col
lected of it one penny.
At the late State Fair there were
awarded nearly one thousand dollars to
farmers for exhibits in the department
of agriculture, and over forty farmers
were the recipients Of these premiums.
1t is strange that gentlemen will make
such loose statements when they could
so easily ascertain the facts, and save
themselves from the unfortunate attitude
in which they have placed themselves.
Judging from the past says Mr..
Fowler. Will he venture to cite his au-
thority for the statement he so broadly
makes? JOHN NlCiiOl-c.

board OF survey had been held on these
irons, which were out of date, and they
had been condemned. 1t was the yeo-
mans business to turn them in at a
navy yard stOreroom at the first oppor-
tunity. He made better use Of them
by giving them to highly appreciative
young. women who honored him with
their company on visits about the ship.
The girls tied little ribbons to the wrist
irons and valued them highly as i'm
plements that had been used for the
torture Of poor sailormen. The skipper
had the yeoman at the mast about
his nervy disposition Of government
property, but the man was not pun
ished for his offence, relieved as 1t was
by such amiable gallantry. Officers
aft hang on to the anchors and other
ornaments attached to the collars of
their fatigue blouses as long as pos
sible, but most of them sooner or later
rip them off and hand them over to the
girls who like the workmanship Of the
ornaments. The cleverness Of Aueri-
can girls in hypnotizing sailors of any
nation is singular. When the Russian
squadron that visited New York at the
time of the Constitutional celebration
in 1889 spread gangways for visitors,
the New York girls went aboard the
Russian men-Of-war in droves. Part
Of the uniform equipment of every Rus
sian naval officer is a dagger The
daggers are beautifully devised affairs,
the hilts of them heavily wrought in
gold. There wasn't a dagger in the
Russian fleet two days after the New
York girls began to visit the czars

"A HARDTACK RAID.
On ship-visiting day in an Ameri-
can port barrel Of hardtack, standing
open in a man-of-war alleyway, is a
sight the young women can't very we'll
resist. The navy hardtack is circular
in shape, and about four inches in di-
ameter The girls all get handful
each of the biscuit and take them
ashore to paint ships and sea-scapes
on their rough surfaces. Another ar
ticle of uniform that the bluejackets
OF our navy cannot hang on to when
the girls get aboard their ships is the
neckerchief. The United States blue
Jackets neckerchief is a handsomely
woven affair of the finest black silk
1t costs the bluejacket close to 81 so.
Nevertheless there is a general unloos-
ening Of neckerchiefs when the young
women are aboard, and the skipper,
when he inspects his neckerchiehess
crew at quarters on the following morn
ing, before the men have had time to
draw neckerchiefs from the paymas-
ter, doesn't punish the men for being
out of uniform, but mutters something
about the power of beauty. There is
IF you want a jackknife ask a coal
passer for the loan of his" There is
lot of truth in the saying. The deck
hands among the bluejackets resign
their huge jackknives to young women
visitors time after time in the course
of cruise. The coal passers, being
stationed down below, are immune from
plundering by the girls. A deck blue
jacket just about finishes a fine knife
lanyard for himself, that he has been
plating and weaving for several
months to wear with his mastering uni
form for shore visiting, when a girl
from ashore comes along and clocks
it, away from him. That is the way
the sailors express iu-'1ooks it away
from me-" the idea being that, when
girl gets her eyes on any article in
the makeup of the man-o'-war's man,
she converts it to her own use by that
process.
When g. bluejacket hasn't much left
in the way Of small gear to dish out
to the young women visitors he races
aft and gets a pound plug of tobacco

big bricks of tobacco, which they be-

bacco, of rock-like hardness, is an en-
during souvenir.

JIMMY MICHAEL BEATEN
TINY CHAMPION OF THE WORLD
BADLY WORSTED
Met With n Mishap or the Story
Might Be Dtfferent-Eddie Nc
Duffee, of Boston, Accomplished
the Feat Which Many Others
Have Tried in Vain-NumerOus
Worlds Records Were Broken.

BOSTON. Mass, July 2.-The worlds
records from one to fifteen miles in
elusive took a sudden drop at Charles
River park this afternoon when Ed
die McDuffie, Of Boston, defeated jim
my Michael. the tiny cyclist, who has
long held the title Of champion of the
world
1t is possible that the race might
nave had a different ending, but for
an accident which befell Michael ear
ly in the race while in the lead, his
handle bars becoming loose, and he
was forced to leave the track for an
other machine, which proved to be in
little better condition than the other.
McDuffee had gained full lap dur
ing the transfer, and, as Michael could
do nothing with his new machine, he
left the track, coming on again after
the machine had been repaired, but
not In any sense a competitor. He
made In all six and two thirds miles
McDuffee continued to reel off the
miles during all this time, cutting rec
ord after record, until, at the end of
the fifteenth mile and the race, he was
twenty and three-fifths seconds bet
ter than the worlds record, held by
himself.
The men took their positions, and
at the word were off like flash
Mlcnael caught his team first and
opened up gap of forty yards before
McDuffee was well started.
The pace was terrific, and at the
end of the first mile the watches re-
corded 1:46 2-5, against 1:48 3-5, the
former worlds record made by Elkes
in his race with Martin one week ago
The two miles were ridden in 3:24 3-5,
gain of 4 3-5 on the previous two
mile record.
Michael had added two more records
to his credit when his machine went
down, and he was out Of the race
McDuffee here took the lead, and
the killing pace did not abate. He
continually urged his pacemakers on,
and every mile clipped a second or
two from the previous record.
The bell announced the last mile Of
the race, and the pacemakers exerted
themselves to the utmost as they
swung into the stretch on the last lap
McDuffee pulled out squirt and
headed the team across the tape in
$3.50 3-5 seconds.
