SOME POLITICAL POINTS.
The Sort of Independent Candidates
Johnston County is Troubled With.

Berry Goodwin, of Pine Level, an
nounces himself as an Independent candi-
date for the office of register of deeds.
After calling himself an Independent,
Goodwin goes on, in his card to attack the
Democratic party, and adds: I'VE
should feel grateful to the Republicans
and Populists of the State for restoring
to us the powers taken from us by the
Democrats in 1S76'77, and while we
have this power we shold be careful
to retain it"
The Democratic candidates spoke yes
terday at Millbrook to 80 people, just
about twice as many as heard the Fusion
candidates there. They speak to-day at
Wilders Grove. The large number of
people at all these speakings, the en-
thusiasm on the part of Democrats and
the assertions from Fusion ranks are
most encouraging to the friends of the
White Mans Ticket. Indeed there is
no longer much doubt of its success ON
election day.
The Fusionists are trying to fool them
selves-and other people-by Offering to
bet their campaign fund that they will
carry the State.
Hal Aver and Cy Thompson are ex-
periencing considerable difficulty in in
ducing the voters TO believe that tile
Democratic party is the real and only
niger party.
The Governor has received another
hard fall by monkeying with the Sena-
torial elevator shaft. 1t will be a pity
if His Fatulency fails to get the Rev.
Mr.. Baylus Cade as a leader and personal
representative in the Upper House of the
next Legislature.
Then there's the House--what will he
do for leader there? The Hon. Dave
Sutton, the Governors law partner and
personal representative in the last House,
is now in Georgia serving out sentence
improving the roads and premises around
Fort Mcpherson.
Now that Ohio Wilson has been placed
ON the shelf as a political fossil, along
side such curios as Walter Henry, Hoola-
Boom Campbell, Nat Macon and Dink
Bolts, much of the gaiety has gone out
of politics. The peculiar thing about a
dead politician, though, is that he thinks
he is the Invest man in the meeting.
The clerk and private secretary to
DIR. Cy Thompson. Mr.. ID. III. Senter,
says there are 250 Populists in Wake
county who will not this year vote the
Fusion ticket. An honest confession.
The people of Wake county are turn
ing out in large crowds to show the
Democratic candidates how they approve
of Fusion and negro rule.
After fussng much the Republicans
and Populists in Mcdowell county have
nominated a joint ticket and are fusing
a little.

BUSINESS MORE ATTRACTIVE
Outlook for Buyers F'1attering for
Coming Season.

New York, May l4.-Bradstreets says:
Business gains rather than loses in at
tractiveness as spring advances. While
the favorable situation in cereals is the
handspring Of the improvement, manifest
ing itself in many sections of the country
there are causes combining Herewith to
make the outlook for buyers for the cur
rent season a flattering one. Following
the rapid advances in the prices of wheat
which apparently eliminated for the time
being early in the current week in quo
tation for cash wheat unequalled, with
one single exception, and that only for
a short period of time, for 25 years past:
there has come lul1 cnd the reaction
from the abnormally high prices caused
by the squeeze in the May delivery,which
however, has left prices far above quota
tions for at least 10 years back. Tele-
graphic cable advices to Bradstreets only
accentuate the already well known bull
ish nature of the immediate wheat situa-
ton, particularly in this and other coun-
tries, the outlook appears above those
for the past six years. With the quiet
ing down Of the interest in wheat there
has come a partial shifting of speculative
interest to other grains, particularly corn
and oats, and many classes of provisions
with advances in nearly all those lines.

SHE WAS A PROVIDENT BRIDE
How a Young Woman Saved Money
for II Wedding Tour.

A promising young lawyer who has an
office in the Girard building has just made
the delightful discovery that his tiancee is
also tinancier. The young mans sweet
heart resides in Germantown, and for sew
cral months past he has called upon her
regularly thrice a week. When he first
met the girl, two years ago, he was, of
course, extremely anxious to make a good
impression, and he lavished many presents
upon her The girls parents are quite we'll
to do, but she disapproves of any sort of
display or prodigality, and when, i'll the
natural course of events, the young man
proposed and was accepted, she felt it to
be her privilege and her duty to read him
little lecture on Economy" She called
his attention to the fact that every time
he called he had been in the habit of
bringing flowers and candy to the value
of a dollar or two. She suggested that in
the future he should discontinue the pres
ents handing over a silver dollar instead
whenever he came to see her. He laughed,
for he thought she was joking, but she
speedily assured him that she was much
in earnest. SO he paid his dollar regular
ly, and finally came to the conclusion that
the money was being devoted to charity.
The wedding day was set for next month,
and an extended tour was contemplated.
Unfortunately, the young lawyer recently
took a flyer in stocks, and dropped so
much money that he had to notify his
fancee that their wedding trip must be
dispensed with. The dear girl laughed at
him, and, leaving the room for moment,
presently returned with satchel contain
ing 256 silver dollars. Their plans will not

Her Theory offensive.

A girl who has theories has made up
her mind that of one of them, at least,
she will never again speak in public.
At somebody's tea, not long ago, she
met an elderly but still youthful-ap-
pearing man, who is power in society.
The conversation turned on hair, and
the lack Of hair
You can tell a mans character from
the way badness begins with him."
announced the young woman who has
theories.
"a scholarly, studious, upright man
always grows bald at the crown Of his
head first"
"And suppose he grows bald at the
temples first?" asked the elderly gen
tleman, whose hair is really almost a
bang.
"Oh," said the young woman, posi-
lively, "he's a very different sort, then.
l never knew a man who grew bald
above his forehead first who wasn't an
utter scoundrel at heart"
"But-" began her listener.
"Oh, he may conceal his real nature"
she went on, ''but he's a villain just the
same. Don't you agree with me?"
The elderly gentleman rose. His
voice trembled little.
Young lady," he said, Il wear a
toupee."

RUSSIAN LABOR STATISTICS.
The Empire Has Mt Present 1905
Factories of All Kinds.

According to Russian statistics, the EN-
pire possesses at present 1905 factories:
with an annual production valued at
,467 100000 rubles. In these factories
there are employed 949,O44 workmen and
264, ,O3O women and girls. The number OF
steam engines is lO,525. The chief centers
of industry are Moscow, st. Petersburg
and Kief In the government of Moscow
there are 2075 factories, with an annual
production valued at 277,000,000 rubles,
employing 100000 workmen. The Cau-
casus has ll99 factories, which employ
$4,000 workmen, with an annual produc-
ton valued at 35 100000 rubles. Siberia
has 600, the Turkestan district $50 fac
tories, with an annual production valued
at 100000 and 100000 rubles respec-
lively. But all these factories are insutfl-
cient to meet the home demand. In al
most all classes Of manufactured goods the
imports are yearly increasing. Russia will
no doubt continue for many years to offer
a valuable outlet for industry.

CALIFORNIA CROP FAILURE
In Many Counties Wheat Will BE n
Total Loss.

San Francisco, May l3.-Reports from
Associated Press correspondents in the
Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, the
great wheat growing sections of the state,
say that the wheat crop this year will be
almost a total failure in California. In
Sacramento and adjoining counties the
outlook is decidedly gloomy. Wheat has
not yet headed and most of it will be cut
for hay. There is a general belief that
there will not be enough wheat this year
for seed. Enormous quantities of corn are
being brought from Kansas and Nebraska
to feed stock Advices from Stockton state
that not more than 10000 tons of wheat
will be harvested this year. The normal
yield is from 100000 to l25,000 tons. In
Fresno and adjoining counties the wheat
crop is regarded as total loss.

The Minute Parts of a Watch.

The Minute Parts of Watch.
The watch carried by the average
man, says the jewelers. Review, is
composed of ninety-eight pieces, and
It's manufacture embraces more than
1000 distinct and separate operations.
Some Of the smallest screws are so
minute that the unaided eye cannot dis
tinguish them from steel filings OF
specks of dirt. Under a powerful mag
nifying glass a perfect screw is re-
yealed, the slit in the head of which is
2-10OOths of an inch wide. 1t takes
3OS000 of these screws to weigh a
pound.
The hairspring is strip of the finest
steel, about nine and a half inches long,
1-1OOth Of an inch wide and 27-1OOOOths
of an inch thick. The manufacture of
these springs requires great skill and
care. The strip is gauged to 2O-1OOOths
Of an inch, but no measuring instru-
ment has as yet been devised capable
Of fine enough gauging to determine be-
forehand by the size of the strip what the
strength of the finished spring will be.
A 2O-1OOOth part of an inch difference
in the thickness of the strip makes Il
difference IN the running OF watch or
about six minutes an hour.
The value Of these springs, when fin
ished and placed in watches, is enor-
nous in proportion to the material from
which they are made. A comparison
will give a good idea: A ton of steel
made up into hairsprinss, when in
watches, is worth more than twelve
and a half times the value of the same
weight in pure gold. Hairspring wire
weighs one-twentieth of a grain to the
inch One mile of wire weighs less
than half pound.
The balance gives five vibrations eV-
cry second, three hundred every min
ute, $4,000 every hour, 432, 900 every
day, and 57,GSO,00O every year. At
each vibra ton it rotates about one and
fourth times, which makes 1917, 1OO,-
900 every year. If this be compared
with a locomotive with siX-foot driving
wheels, it will be seen how stupendous
IS the amount of abor performed by
these works. Let the wheels be run
unit! they have given the same number
of revolutions that watch does in one
year, and they will have covered dis
tance equal to twenty eight complete
circuits of the EARTH
