George Landers and his Fifty first Iowa
band played at the Odeon Wednesday
evening. "A concert was given i:ere a
few weeks ago by the band, but the au-2i
dience was so small and the comments
so favorable that Manager Speers felt
justified in trying the doubtful expedi-
ent of a return date. Despite the small
audience, which was provsrbially ap-l
.preciative, the concert was success
from an artistic standpoint. The music
was of a high order and ranged from
classical to patriotic and popular. The
selection which seemed the most pleas
ing was Mr.. Covalt's solo, and he graz
ciously played as an encore q negro
melody. The piccolo solo was much
enjoyed. and, of course the songs Of

foreign relations committee for some

There::are political and diplomatic

above all others calculated to bring
prosperity to Puerto Rico: the max
ing of good roads throughout the
island and the improvement of har-
bo1s. Appropriations have been
made for both of these and work on
the former in being actively carried
on yet great deal remains to be
done. The harborS along our coasts,
especially those at San Juan and
Ponce should be put into srepair
Immediately. In the Capital we
have what is known as the Har-
Der Works but so far as work on
the barbor is concerned no definite
result is seen.
Vessels Of all classes and from all
climes should he given a free entry
into this port. Therefore the chan
mel should be widened and deepo-
ned and a safe entrance given to
the city.
All commercial nations take the
greatest care to encourage CONNER
ce by making entrance to their ports
easy and convenient. Besides this
capital is chory of coming to o
country where there exists difficult
in shipping or entering merchandise.
This island must look to it that
its products find a market. /. fhe
improvements OF our harbors as well
as our roads must be a matter of
first consideration.
What good will an eighty five per
cent reduction on the Dingley tariff
do if our roads remain in an impos-
sible condition and our harbOrS
unentrable? These are the matters
which Congress and the people OF
this island should attend to first aud
foremost.
Do not let our attention be dis
tracied os worked by political dispu-
tie. Let it all be turned to what
makes for the final good of the is
land. If a market is found, which
certainly will be for our tobacco,
coffee. sugar and fruits in the home
country then let us have roads to
transport these products from the
interior and harbors we're ships of all
nations and all tonnage can enter
and ride in safety. Until this is do
ne no part of the inhabitants can
possibly achive success, and mani
tain the prosperity of heisland.
Here in the harbor of San Juan
alOne We have but narrow channel
of entrance which even experienced
nayGaiors fear to enter in rough
weai ero or darkness. Three Spanish
vessels are sunk in the harbor and
no effort whatever has been made
to rid The channel of the danger.
Good roads and good harbors are
the true and permanent neans to
The prosperity of Puerto Rico.

presentatives on the Puerto Rlcan
tariff bill.
Mr.. Jones IVA. b = member Of the
insular committee, was the first
speaker. He discussed the eSndi-
tisnS which existed upon the island
ef Puerto Riee which led to the
Presidents recommendations Of free
trade for her goods and quoted from
the testimony before his committee
to prove that the conditions were
far worse now than when tue Presi-
dent made his recommendation. He
pictured the distress that prevailed
on the island, and declared that only
immediate relief could prevent the
actual starvation of many o the in
habitants.
Speaking Of the motive behind
the bill he charges that it was dis
closed by Mr.. Moody Mass. yes
terday. when he declared that he
was unwilling that 1O,0O0,000 ASi-
atics should enjoy the immunities of
citizenship in the United States
which had been his blrthright as an
! American citizen.
Mr.. Maddox LGa followed in op-
position to the bill. In the course
of his remarks he had read a long
letter from former Representative
Turner Of Georgia, who was for
many years upon the ways and
means committee, denouncig the
new theory of the constitution"
lon which the pending bill was ha
aed.
i Mr.. Barthoidt Rep, Mo. snp-
ported the bill

said, "are busy proving Thai We
can hold outside possessions 10y treaty
and govern them by the authority
Of congress, not regardless Of the
constitution, but rather without sire
tching it to cover such territory
am inclined to agree with them
There is room In the United States
for millions, yet expansion is the
shibboleth Of the hour. 1t has ia
ken hold of mems minds. AS law
makers and politicians you must
reckon with it and if existing laws
and constitutions do not cover i
they must give way. The material
welfare of the American people de
pends upon commerce and trade ant

much as philosophy and philanthro
piSt may deprecate l., political sys

American Democrat the French re
publican and the German monar
chist is on an equality. He alone
has the advantage who, by right o.
sovereignty, can control the great
markets to the exclusion Of the other
1t is indeed a question of custvln
laws, the same as presented in this
bill. To withdraw from the Philip,

Mr.. Bartholdt, in closing, refer,
red to the remarks of Mr.. Clark

that the Democrats were dexterOusly

listed in order to Arouse the resent

RIVAL LABOR ORGANIZATIONS
Cause Trouble Among the lamps
Cigar Makers-Factories Closed

Tampa, Fla, November 1.-THE
trouble between the rival labor or
ganizations-the R~esistancia and the
International Cigar Makers Union,
reached a crisis today.
Each organization has made the de-
mand that the members of the rival
order be locked out and some Of the
manufacturers have closed their fac
tories to prevent trouble.
Forces from both sides met at the
factory Of Penda & Alverez and de-
clared that they would not allow the
others to york if there had to be blood
shed. The factory was Immediately
closed by the management.
Demand was then made on all the
factories Of the Cuban-American Com
pany that they turn their men into the
street and 100 men were forced out OF
employment.
The conditions are the most serious
yet presented. The question of wages
does not enter into the matter, 1T being
simply a fight between Internationals
(American) and the R~eSiStancia (Span-
iSh) for supremacy. The manufacture
erS are being hampered seriously at
the busiest season of the e 1t is
expected that by tomorrow morning
there will be more than 1000 out on ac-
count of the trouble.

THE SOUTH INTERESTED
In h ''Open Door, Policy in China
by the Allies.

Washington, November 15.-Secretary
Hay has received a petition from nearly
all of the leading cotton manufacture
ers of the south that he take such &C
ton that may be in his power to pre-
vent the interference by any European
power which might close the foreign
markets to the important manufac-
lures of the United States, as we'll as
injuring many other American inter
ests. The petitioners declare that the
"open door" policy is necessary to Sc
cure the retention of the important
trade in cotton drills and shirtings
with China, most of which are manu-
featured in the southern states. 1t is de-
clared that the withdrawal of this trade
in Manchuria would seriously affect
not only the cotton manufacturers, but
the southern planter and cotton grow
er. and thousands of employees and
labOrerS who are engaged in the cotton
mills. The petitioners represent &c.,
600, 600 in capital and declare that they
have lost half of their trade since the
Boxer uprising and are now running
ON half time.
This is only one of many communica-
ions that have been received at the
state department which has Influenced
it to endeavor to secure an honorable
settlement of the Chinese trouble as
rapidly as possible, even at the risk Of
offending some of the powers which are
bent On vengeance.

HARNETT CITIZENS REJOICE
At the Prospect of a Bridge Over the
Cape Fear Erastus Tart, the AL
legged Train wrecker-Dunn Pushing
Ahead.
Editor Messenger:

Editor Messenger:
Dunn, November Is.
All is quiet, in h state of Harnett.
along the Cape Fear, since the election.
Our entire county ~rejoices in the flu
lure hope of the erection of the first
bridge ever SPAWNED the great river
within our lines. The bridge was al
ried by a majority of more than 400
and that question is o settled
The young man,, Erastus Tart, who
is the alleged train wrecker near Hope
Mills, is g. SON OF Mr.. Bud Tart, who
resides about six mikes from here. The
young mans father has just come from
the insane asylum at Raleigh, and is
now on a visit home to his relatives
for rs first time since he became an
inmate of that institution.
The friends of young Tart are now
uneasy and have expressed very much
concern about him since the Hope Mills
wreck and fear that the fright has
caused him to drown himself or put
an end to his life in some other way.
This entire community sympathizes
with both the suffering from the
terrible affairs, and the friends and
relatives of the young man art. Those
who know him best seem to think that
no harm was intended by placing the
spike on the road, but one of those sim
pie moods had overtaken him and
during hat time the crime was COM
mitted. UP to this writing no trace of
him has been seen as we know. Young
Tart a been living around for three
or four years in and out of this county,
but n thing we can say that the en-
tire Tart family are as clever, good
citizens as can be found in the state
anywhere.
On asst Friday a negro woman living
here, named Melissa Clegue, drowned
her 2-year-old child by drowning it in
an old well on the plantation of Mr..
Wiley Goodwin, just in Cumberland
county about one mile from town
where she was picking cotton The
child was not found until Monday,
when 1T was identified as ner child. The
woman was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Jackson, of Cumberland, and she &C
knowledged h deed. The prisoner
was taken to Fayetteville Tuesday and
placed in Jail to await trial.
Dunn is still moving forward. Quite
a number of new residences are in
curse Of erection. The Merchants and
Farmers bank, E. F. Young, president,
will 500 begin their new bank building
or Broad street.
From all indications ere long a nics
three-story brick hotel will make it's
appearance in our town. The matter is
under serious consideration by several
Of u nos moneyed citizens. If they
