the matter gone over IN detail. Plans
were devised for capturing the bandits
when they should make their appearance
at the rendezvous designated. but one
after they were dropped as being i'm
practical. Finally, impelled by the anxi-
ETY. under which the whole household
were laiboring, Mr.. Cudahy decided to ac-
cept the terms offered and ransom his
son. Mr.. Cudahy sent a trusted messen-
ger who was sworn to secrecy to get the
money. 1t was all in gold. After dinner,
Mr.. Cudahy had one of his horses har-

GIGANTIC CORPORATION TO MAKE CORN MAPLE SYRUP FOR THE

10000 bushels of corn a day. Mr.. Gaunt
will have active charge of the operation
of the new enterprise. The faet that the
hackers of the new company selected a
location in the east instead of near the
great corn belt is viewed With much in
terest by local glucose men. 1t has gem
orally been contended that western lo-
cation was preferable.
The cheap rates on corn from Chicago.
however, contrast sharply with the rate
on glucose, and it is claimed that on lo-
cal business the advantage is rather in
favor of an eastern plant. 1t would
appear that the new company would
probably leave western markets alone
and devote its energies TO the local and
other nearby markets and especially to
building up An export trade.

THE WASHINGTON FIRE.
The Insurance Loss to the North Carolina Home
is Very Small.

Mr.. Pulaski COwper, president of the
North Carolina Home Insurance COMPANY
of this city, says his company lost ONLY
about 81 800 by the fire in Washington Oh
Thursday. 1t had $500 on Rodman's law
library, $500 on Smiths dry goods store.
$500 on the armOry and two other policies
of 800 each The Home lost nothing Inv
the Chapel Hill fire.
Mr.. Cowper is of the opinion that much
of the property destroyed at Washington
was uninsured In fact, he says, MANY OF
the buildings burned were very old and in
such condition that the insurance rate on
them would have been very high.
He thinks also that the estimate OF
$3.50, 900 damage by the fire is much exag-
gerated. One third or certainly one-halt
of this amount, he says, would cover the
loss.
Congressman Small, who arrived in the
city yesterday from Washington thinks
the damage cannot be less than $125 00(
and he says it may be much more. Among
the heaviest losers, he says, were a can
ming factory, $1,000; two wholesale
houses, $4,000 each; another firm los
ZOO and a fourth lost $4,000. Other
losses ranged from 1000 to $500 and less

stroyed and large number Of smaller

THE CLUBS TONIGHT
A Meeting to be Held in the
Metropolitan Hall.
The White Supremacy Clubs Are to be Re-
organized Into Bryan Clubs and Be-
gin the Campaign.

The White Supremacy Clubs, of Raj
eigh township, met at the mayors Of
fee at o'clock last night. Mr.. F. b.
Arendell was called to the chair and
Mr.. Perrin Busbee acted as secretary.
The following resolution was Of
fered by Mr.. M. L. Leach and was
unanimously adopted, after which the
meeting adjourned until tonight at 8
O'Clock
Resolved 1st. That the name of the
White Supremacy Club of Raleigh
township ne and the same is hereby
changed to the Bryan and Stevenson
Club of Raleigh township.
End. That each of the auxiliary
precinct clubs are hereby requested to
meet at $3.50 o'clock at Metropolitan
Hall on Saturday night, September
18th, with the township club, for the
purpose of perfecting their organiza-
ton for the Presidential campaign.
After the adoption of this resolu-
ton the meeting adjourned.
The formation of these clubs is
most important. Their work was of
the greatest value in the August cleo
ton and they will contribute largely
to the success in the November cleo
ton.
1t is hoped, therefore, every mem
Der of every precinct club in the town
ship and every Democrat in the city
will attend the. meeting tonight.
The State Democratic headquarters at
the Carrollton Hotel, which have been
closed since the State election in August,
were re-opened yesterday and work was
commenced for the National campaign.
Already some appointments are being
made for speakings, others will be made
as there is a demand for them. Candi-
dates for congress have commenced their
canvass and the electors will soon be
actively in the campaign.
So far the number of campaigners Of
fering their services to the State COM
mittee is small, compared to the number
in the State campaign, but as the fight
progresses the number will increase, and
any show of life and active work on
the part of the McKinleyites will bring
into the field a host of speakers and
workers.
The first Bryan and Stevenson club
organized in North. Carolina was at
Rocky Mount and Mr.. J. o. W. Graverly
was elected president. This was an ex-
cellent selection. Mr.. Graverly attend
ed the convention at Kansas City as an
alternate from the Fourth district. Like
every other Democrat, who was present
at that convention, he was thrilled with
enthusiasm for Democracy and is ANNA
ted with zeal to roll up a great majority
in North Carolina for the Democratic
ticket.

RAILROAD BUILDING STOPPED.
Convicts Taken to the State Farms to Harvest
the Crops.

Mr. Henry Clark Bridgers, of Tarboro
is in the city to see the penitentiary au-
thorities in regard to the convicts thai
have been working on the railroad thai
is being built from Tarboro to Snow Hill
During this year he has had 100 men from
the penitentiary here at work, but recentt
ly he has been notified that they will nov
be taken to the State farms and cannot
return to railroad work till the crops are
gathered.
This, of course, means that the further
construction of the road must stop for the
present; but it will be resumed as soon as
the crops on the State farms have been
harvested which will, with good wealth
er, be about the first of December.
Mr.. Bridgers says he has completed
about IA miles of his road and there are
still 10 miles more to be built before the
work is completed.
The road runs through fine timber and
rich agricultural section, and it will do
much in developing Edgecombe and
Greene, and the adjoining counties.

Miss Lillian Clayton Jewett, the Boston

Miss Jewett says that she is in the

how to live together. She will be in

organize an anti-lynching league. 1t is
her wish to make several addresses in

not approve the plan, declaring that just
such things as this are what has
brought on most of their troubles. They
prefer to be left alone.

pleasing address. She talks freely of her
mission here and says she hopes that
