The Largest Pie.

Probably the biggest pc ever
baked was the big feature at a
reception to Art1e Philips, a
mem mber of the Twentieth Kan
sas Regiment, On his return to
his home in Mulvane. This sold
ier boy, in one Of his letters from
Manila, said he would give four
years of his life for one of those
apple pies such as his mother
used to make. At the reception
rendered him by the people OF
Mulvane he was presented with
a pie measuring 5 feet one way
by 2 feet the other. In the pie
were TX bushels of apples, 10
pounds of -four, 10 pounds OF
sugar, 6 pounds of lard, pounds
of butter and a commensurate
amount of other truck which
goes i'll this kind of pastry. The
pie was cnt and served, and it is
said that 'it didn't last longer
than a keg of beer in prohibi>
ton town."

Constitution and Olympia.

At the Char1estown Navy yard
side by side lie the Olympia and
the Constitution, Americas
naval champions of 1912 and 1S~
90. On one side of the dock is
the quaint old wooden hulk,
covered over with a temporary
shed, its great yawning portfolios
cannonless. On the other side of
the dock is the great steel mod>
ern naval fighting machine, with
it's immense guns, rapid fire bat>
teries, torpedo tubes, and electric
mechanisms, fresh still after a
fierce and victorious sea fight,
and newly returned from an as
tonishing cruise around the
wor1d.-No stronger contrast
could be found in the history Of
naval architecture than is here
shown. The Olympia was swung
into the dock that she might be
overhauled and freshened after
her long absence. With "Old
Ironsides it is different. A num-
ber of times, in order to preserve
the famous old trigate, the
architects of the navy have been
called upon to make repairs of a
temporary nature, aud unless
she is rebuilt and re rugged the
good old boat must soon fall to
pieces.-Eoston Globe.

A BRYAN VICTORY.

The friends of Mr. Bryan cap
tured the New York Democratic
committed October nth in {
clean cut fight: 1t was the ele'
ment in favor of Bryan's renom'
ination and the element opposed
to it. The former won by good
majority, contrary to the conhd
ent expectation of the latter.
1t was somewhat surprising to
see Mr.. Perry Belmont array ed
with the Bryan element. Only a
short while ago he was among
the most avowed anti-Bryan
Democrats in the state, but a
sudden change seems to have
come over the spirit of his
dreams
"Boss" Croker Topped some
weeks ago and led the Bryan
forces in the committee.
David B. Hill was the leader
of the opposition and took his
defeat so much to heart that he
not only stormed, but actually
shook his 6st in Croker's face.
It is very doubtful if anything
will induce Hill to support Bry~
an for the nomination, and it is
probable that he will bolt again
next year if Bryan should be
nominated.
But Hills power in New York
is far from what it once was,
and every indication now points
to solid Bryan delegation from
that state next year.
The politicians who have the
swing in the Democratic organs
izatiOn of that state seem to have
made up their minds that Bryan
is the man to nominate, and it
will be impossible for Hill ard
his feW-remaining lieutenants
to control the New York con~
vention.
1t must be a peculiar feeling
for the once supreme dictators
of the policy Of the New York
Democracy to find himself both
a statesman without job and
leader with few followers.

The Lake Drummond Canal
Opened.

The Lake Drummond Canal
and Water Company wish tc
give notice that the Old Dismal
Swamp Canal route between
Norf Tx and Elizabeth City is
now open for business sand the
tug boat will leave every other
day except Sunday. commen
cling August 2Sth, making trips
as follows: Leaves Norfolk
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri
days. Returning, leaves Eliza
beth City, Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Saturdays.
The Canal Company insures
nine feet of water at present
time between the locks, and in
few weeks they will have ten
feet of water in the canal. The
Company has dredged fifteen
feet in depth for a distance of
three thousand feet below the
locks in Deep Creek. They
have also made deep water be-
tween South Mills locks, in the
waters of the Pasquotank river.
The Canal Company has dredg-
ed the Old Turner Cut to the
depth of ten feet at low water.
Thus far the Canal Company
can insure a sufficient depth of
water.
The Canal Company would
l OF at present guarantee a safe
passage between Norfolk and
Elizabeth City for boats draws
ing more than seven and a half
feet of water-as the Pasquotank
has one shoal place, and Deep
Creek at low water has not more
than seven and a half feet al the
present time.
The government has appro>
priated money to deepen and
widen Deep Greek and also to
deepen and straighten the wat
ers of the Pasquotank river.
This work is to commecc at
once. The Company in the
meantime intend to improve
and widen the canal. and in the
near future the Canal Company
believe that they will have a
canal and waterway between the
points named that cannot be ex
celled in this country.

Norfolk Virginia-Pilot Oct. 26.

Norfolk Virginia Pilot Oct. 26.
A rumor gained some cur
rency last night Of important
railway charges affecting two
local lines, the Norfolk and
Southern and the Norfolk, Vir
ginia Beach and Southern.
These indicated that the Norfolk
Virginia Beach and Southern
(owned by the Vanderbilt com
bine) had ahsorted the Norfolk
and Southern.
OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION.
The Virginian-P Pilot last night
looked into the matter and OBJ
tanned the following official state
ment from the office of the Nor
folk Virginia Beach and South>
ern.
"At a meeting of the directors
Of the Norfolk and Southern
Railroad Company, held on the
10th inst, Mr.. John Christensen
was elected president and Mr..
Alfred Skitt vice president of
the said railroad company. This
naturally brings this property
into close relations with the Nor
folk, Virginia Beach and South
ern Railroad Company.
"Mr. Morris K. King will CON-
tinue the management of the
Norfolk and Sothern and, we are
informed, represent the other
railroad in this city"
OFFICERS OF THE N, v.B. & S.
Mr.. Christensen is and has for
some time been president of the
Norfolk, Virginia Beach and
Southern Railroad and Mr.. Skitt
is and has for some time been
vice president of the same road.
A BELT LINE.
This will give the new com
bined system belt line (includ
ing steamer connections, from
Norfolk through Princess Anne,
Back Bay, Creed's, Munden
Point, Currituck Sound, Albem-
arle Sound, Pasquotank River,
Elizabeth City and back to Nor
folk, covering a large area of
valuable truck, fish, oyster and
lumber producing territory.
An important feature of the
deal will be the union of num-
Der of steamers traversing, in
the aggregate, many miles of
river and sound navigation
through Northeastern North
Carolina.

A special from Canton, Miss,

A special from Canton, Miss,
says:
THE little town of Saint
Anne, twenty miles east Of Cam
ton, IN Leak county, was last
Friday night the scene of a trag>
edy-a sequel to the burning of
the Gambrel family the night
before. Joe Lefore, a negro, who
was captured by posse, confess
ed that he, in company with
other negroes. had tied Mrs. Gam
brel and her four children to the
floor of the house, saturated the
surroundings with kerosene and
blrned them alive. The negro
after a confession of the crime,
was promptly roped to stake
and burned to a crisp. while the
citizens looked on in silence.
"Another negro, Bob Smith,
was saved in the nick of time, as
there was doubt as to his guilt.
The Gambrel tragedy occurs
red Thursday morning aud it
was FIRST thought that the fire
was the result of an accident. A
casual investigation was made
and it was soon established be>
yond doubt that the family had
been murdered and the house
fired.
"Posses were Immediately form
ed to scour the country and fol-
lowed every possible clue. Be-
fore the posses left Saint Anne
it was discovered that Joe Lefore
a negro who lived in the ueigh>
borhood and who had heretofore
borne a good reptation had dis
appeared. Early Friday evening
Lefore was captured several
miles from the scene of the muir
der. At first the murderer denied
any knowledge of the affair, but
he finally broke down and con-
fessed that he and Bob and An
drew Smith, two other negroes
were guilty. He hoped for no
mercy and told with a brutal
frankness all the details of the
crime. In the yard where the
Gambre1 residence had stood
Lefore was tied to a stake and
burned alive. No one sent
merciful bullet into his body to
kill him. Andrew Smith es>
capped from the mob while Le-
foe was being burned, and has
not been captured. Bob Smith
was tied to another stake and a
fire started, though he was finally
released as there was a possibility
of his proving his innocence.
"Andrew Smith will be r cap
tured and if it is proven that he
and his brother Bob are guilty,
it is thought no power can save
them from a similar fate meted
out to Lehore.'

A DASH FOR LIBERTY.
A Condemned Murderer's Deed
In Atlanta.

ATLANTA, Ca, October 2I.-
Edward Z. Flanagan, the De
Kalb county murderer, broke
from his cell in the DeKalb
county Jail this morning. As
he dashed through the door and
past the guard, who had the
murderer's breakfast in his
hands, he snatched up the two>
year old baby of Sheriff Talley.
Drawing a long knife from his
sleeve and clasping the child to
his half clad breast the prisoner
fled down the Jail stairway to-
ward the street and liberty.
Down one flight of steps and
then through a corridor leading
to the sheriff S residence, the
only avenue of escape from the
prison, Flanangan sped, and
brandishing his knife in his
right hand.

that he has appointed any negro
