Democrats, he says, should harmonic
their differences and in all local %
tests now pending they should support
their nominees.

Correspondence of The Messenger.)
Fayetteville, N. c., October IL.
A syndicate, with headquarters at
Richmond, Va, has been in correspond
ence and conference recently with
Fayetteville business men and manu-
facturers, having submitted a PROPOSE
ton to give the town all the power
needed by electrical transmission from
the Lockville falls, distant about thir-
ty miles, provided at least 1000 horse
power will be taken. Mr.. Walter l..
Holt, president of the Holt-Morgan and
Holt Williamson mills, who returned
from Richmond on Saturday, estimates
that the five factories in this city and
suburbs, not including the four fac
tories on Beaver and Rockfish creeks,
would take $500 horsepower, leaving
the remainder for the needs of the town
generally.
Experts state hat 100 horsepower
would suffice to run ain electric light
plant for Fayetteville, besides a troll
ley car line, if the community should
feel able to venture on that enterprise.
| Besides this, there are newspaper and
job presses, founderies, lathes, turning
| machines, etc, all Of which would be
i~mmeasurably benefited by the intro
| duction Of this wonderful power into
our midst.

New York, October 10.-Hard luck
continues to pursue the big single
ECKER On the three days last week
when the yachts made attempts to
SAIL, light, huky winds left them strand
ed on the course when the time limit
expired. Today a fog bank prevented
them from leaving their mooring buoys
inside the spit of land which forms
Sandy Hook at the entrance to the
lower bay.
This was by far the most dismal fias-
co to all. City and bay were lone up
in grey %swathing clothes of impene-
trable mists when the yachtsmeE
jumped out of bed his morning to get
a look at the weather, and there was
gloom and dismay along the water
front.
The Did salts shifted, saw the mist
wraiths and shook their heads. Moth
ing doing on the ocean today" was
their verdict.
But the weather bureau, with it's
scientific meteorological methods, a
predicted fair weather, with freshen-
ing winds for today, and a few chung
Vainly to the hope that the weather bu-
reau's representations would turn out
true for once. OF course the poor, mis-
guided public went like lambs to the
slaughter. They backed Uncl Sans
weather oracle and put to sea; but not
in such numbers as last week. Many
OF the Sight-SeerS who witnessed the
three fukeS at an average cost per
fuke OF from S. to $25, had lost their
interest and it will take a race to re-
store it. ~
Meantime the racers lay tied to their
buoys inside the Horse Shoe. The fog
had let down it's blank gray curtains
all around them. The circle of vision
vas barely 200 yards in diameter. The
yachts were as completely shut off
from the rest Of the world as if they
had been inside a big circus tent.
Shortly before II o'clock the commit
tee BOAT which had gone outside to
take a last look around, returned and
reported no indications of a change in
the weather.; SO the formal
ment was made that there would be
no race today.
Aboard the Erin the E~nglinshmer
were in the dumps. A f1uke or two
they could stand, but such beastly luck
crushed them. Some Of them have en-
gagged passage on the Oceanic, which
will sail tomorrow and consequently
they will go home without having seen
q race.
Sir Thomas, disappointed as he was,
maintained an outward show of good
humor. 81 thought you clever Yankees
could do anything" he shouted over the
rail to some Of his &C
quaintances, but o don't seem able
to propitiate old Boreas. When you
come over on the other side next yea1
to bring back the cup, I'll guarantee
you at least two races a week, and
more if you want them"
Shortly after 1 o'clock, after con
sulting Sir Thomas n Mr.. Islin, it
was decided to abide by the decision OF
yesterday not to sail a race tomorrow,
The next attempt, therefore, will Dt
made on Thursday, and thereafter
daily until the series is completed. La
ter in the day it cleared up, and though
the weather bureaus prediction Of Z
fresh breeze was not realized, there Was
enough air stirring for the Columbia

 During October last Charles M. Shannon, ex-collector of U. $. rev enue for Arizona and New Mexico, made a sale near Clifton, and the following from the Commercial rel ative to this matter and other cop per interests in Arizona will prove of interest. MT. s. has disposed of this fine property and the par ties who bought will turn it to ac- count and thus extend operations in Arizona. The article is here presented:
 "W. B. Thompson has just re- turned from the copper districts of Arizona where he closed the sale of the Hughes Shannon copper mines, at Clifton, to the Thompson investment company of Butte City, Montana, and New York City. The consideration was $5OO,OOO. N. B. Hotter, of Helena, Montana, is one of the purchasing parties.
 Speaking of the future of cop per mining in the territory of Ari- zona, MT. Thompson said:
 '''I agree with the statement of Jas. A. Murray, banker and mine owner of Butte, Montana. He has inspected the copper districts of Arizona and says that the territory has more copper than can be mined in 800 years. They have copper there, he says, for the coming mil lions.
 'Arizon, from what I observed, has a brighter future than Butte, Montana. It is simply question of the country, the development of which has been neglected. While a great number of properties are being opened, the output of the copper districts could be increased ten times over.

per company's mines, at Clifton, are among the active ones, and will produce in the neighborhood of 20,000,O00 pounds of copper this year. The Hughes-Shannon mines, which are adjacent to those of the A. c. Co.,, will be in operation soon.
 "'The Metcalf mine of the latter company, is working in open cuts six hundred feet wide. The top has been virtually taken off the mountain where the mine is locat, ed. One man does the blasting for four hundred shovelers.
 "'There are only four districts in Arizona where copper is mined but the production, as compared with the limited under development, is immense. The growth of the cop per mining industry in that terri tory is shown by comparison of the production of the leading mines during the years '93 and '9S.
 "'The A. c. Go. produced in 1893 7,S71,S19 pounds, and in 1898 18,- 169,099 pounds. The production of the Copper Queen in 1893 was 13,795,618 pounds, and in 1898 33,749,3 pounds. The Detroit produced 4,942,72S pounds in 1893 and II ,428, ,992 in 1898. The pro- duction of the United Verde in '93 was 9,121, JAG pounds ard in the year '9S 42,32S,92S pounds.
 The total production of copper during the period mentioned in creased from 43,773,675 ponnds to no, ,S23,S64 pounds. This year the production is expected to reach 14O,OOO,OOO.

County President Murphy was present
and installed the officers recently elected.
His advice to the new officials vas of an
excellent nature, and his reference to the
good work done by Edward Clancy, the
retiring President, created much en-
thusiasm.
The silver jubilee committee reported
everything in readiness for Monday IS
celebration, and only request the pres
ence of every Hibernian in Louisville,
Jacksonville and New Albany to make
it the grand success the occasion deserves.

WOLFE TONE.
His Memory and Deeds Hon.
ored in the Pilgrimage
to His Grave.

The memory of Wolfe Tone was hon
ored at Bodenstown churchyard in a
manner BETTING the high place he holds
in the hearts of all genuine Irish Nation
alists, says the Independent. This an
nual pilgrimage to the grave where the
greatest enemy to English rule that ever
planned and worked for Ireland's free
dom sleeps is living. tangible proof of
the continued existence of that pure
spirit of nationality which Wolfe Tone
worshipped, and to which he sacrificed
his life with all its glowing hopes and
aspirations. 1t would be a sad and dis
graceful thing for Irishmen if they were
to forget such sacrifices as were made by
Wolfe Tone. We have confidence that
they will never be forgotten, but that on
the contrary they will be remembered
with more intensity every succeeding
year until Irelands independence is Sc
cured. When that glorious and long
expected time arrives Tones name will
stand highest among those who helped
on its arrival.
