One Admiring Constituent.

That no man is hero to his valet is a
truism that has come down through a
long line of French .cynics; but Lord
Ripon, ex-viceroy of india, had occa-
sion to demonstrate that he, at least,
was appreciated by faithful retainer.
Soon after his return from Calcutta,
and when the criticisms of his admin
istration were particularly fierce, Lord
Ripon was met by a member of the
liberal party, who said to him, enthus-
iastically: 81 congratulate you on
your courage and public spirit in pur.
suing so large-minded and liberal a
policy in the east Lord Ripon smiled
as he replied: 1T is good of you to
say such kind things of me; but to tel!
you the truth, don't believe there was
anyone in India who really approved
of my policy except my old Scotch
gardener. youths Companion.

Even if it could be proved that drunk
enness and rioting had increased since
the abolition of the canteen, it would
not change the principle which is the
basis for such abolition. There are no
conditions which can make it wise or
right for the government to sell liquor
to its soldiers. The strongest argu-
ment of the friends of the canteen is
the existence of the "outside saloon"
If those who are clamoring for the
restorati of the canteen are honest
ly and conscientiously aiming to Sc
cure the highest welfare and greatest
efficiency of the soldier they will work
to abolish the outside saloon, if not
from the entire country, at least from
the vicinity of the military forts. The
remedy for Increased Drunkenness
is not the removal of restrictions
within the post, but the placing of
more restrictions outside; not the
opening of more places of temptati ton,
but the closing of those which are uni
versally admitted to be a menace to
army morality and discipline.-Union

Having decided to study law, he
removed to Chicago in 1872 and be-
came a student in the office of the
old firm of Mcclellan & Hedges. In
1873 he settled in Des Moines, where
he has since resided.
He was not prominent in politics
until 1887, when he was selected on
account of personal popularity to
lead the anti-prohibition fight in Polk
county. He did so, defeating the re-
publican candidate for the legisla-
ture in a close finish. He maintained
his opposition to the party on the
prohibition issue as late as 1891.

A DISMAL COTTON PROSPECT.
Condition Of the Local Market. Waiting on
Government Report Tomorrow

There was little change in the local
cotton market yesterday. Receipts were
10 bales and the staple sold all the way
from IN to cents. Activity in trading
was more pronounced than on Monday
Everything is waiting on the govern
ment crop report, which makes it's ap-
pearance tomorrow Naturally trading
in futures is timid. The government re-
ports were very accurate last year, and
1T is now recognized as the highest au-
thority The fact that that receipts at
all ports show decline as compared with
last year, confirms the general belief that
the crop will be shorter even than an
ticipated. The Journal of Commerce of
New York yesterday estimated the crop
condition at 63 per cent as compared with
a 20 per cent estimate this time last
year.
Mr.. e. B. Barbee, of the firm of Barbee
& Co., said yesterday that reports of the
local crop conditions grow more dismal
daily He has talked with many of the
cotton farmers of the county and some
of them report that there will only be
third of a crop, while only few es-
innate more than half crop.
Mr.. Haywood Knight we'll known far
mer, who was here yesterday, stated that
he ginned Ali bales last year and he said
he did not expect to gin more than 200
bales this year on the same acreage.

MOBILE IS HIT HARD.
Suit Involving Ownership of
Wharf Property.
Decision Rendered Against The Cily in Case
Involving Property Valued at
$20,000,G00.
(By the Associated Press.)

Mobile, Ala, Oct. 1.--Judge Toulmin,
Of the United States Circuit Court in
Equity, today rendered an important de-
cision against the city of Mobile The
suit involved the ownership Of the wharf
property along the river front within the
limits of the city
The question was one of riparian rights
and ownership, and Judge Toulmin deci-
ded that while the legal title to the land
was in the name of the city it was stopped
from asserting the title because it had
granted property owners the right to
build wharves and bulkheads. This liti-
CATION carries with it the possession of
the entire river front valued at $20, 900 900,
and this suit while it involved only about
one hundred thousand of values, has set
tied the law as to the ownership of the
river front and it's many valuable inn
pruvements, sheds, warehouses. docks and
mills. The city claimed its title under an
act by the General Assembly of Alabama,
1867, granting it the shore and soil un-
der Mobile river. The case was carried
from the city and State courts to the
Federal courts.

The Official Story Of the Race.

When the strin gOf signals was hoisted
on the Committee Boat indicating the
course the rival racers were circling
about the light ship performing nearly
every known variety of marine maneou-
vres. The Shamrock was clothed in
brand new suit of light weather sails,
admirably cut and of marvellous fit
The Columbia, however, was obliged to
content herself with the same old suit
that carried her to victory on Saturday.
Before the start the Shamrock hoisted
a tiny jib-topsail, perhaps the smallest
every carried by cup defender. 1t
answered it's purpose capitally as
steering sail and proved of great ad-.
vantage in a day so prolific of f1ukes
and calms.
The preparatory gun was fired at 1O:45.
At that time both yachts were on the
port tack standing to the southwark
with Shamrock in the leand and Colum-
bia following in her wake. Ten minutes
later the bang of the warning gun was
heard and the Columbia, wearing sharp
ly round, trimmed her sails on the other
tack, Shamrock crossing her bow The
Columbia took good care to secure the
weather berth, and ten seconds after the
starting gun, which was fired at the dot
of IL, she crossed the line on the star
board tack ahead and we'll to windward.
The Shamrock luffed over the line a
few seconds before the gun fire and was
recalled by the judges boat and had to
put back.
The official time of the start was:
Columbia, 11:00:1O; Shamrock, II 100: 90.

but even II he was madman he richly
deserved the fate he met. 1t was some

stood before it with uncovered head.
Mckinley was not man to approve
Browns methods. He doubtless regard
ed him as fanatic whose zeal in the
cause OF freedom of the slaves led him
into acts which it is impossible for any
right minded man to indorse No halo
can be woven around the name or men,
ory OF John Brown The South re-
CARDS him with the same horror and
loathlng which it feels for the assassin
OF President Mckinley. Brown died as
serting that he had only done his duty
In attempting to liberate the slaves of
Virginia, and that he had nothing to
regret except the failure of his enter
prise. McKinley's murderer has declar-
ed that he has done his duty in Staying
a ruler, in the anarchistic belief that

Will be free. The law executed Brown.

washington, Oct. 1.-The following

Chaffee:
Manila, October 1, 1928 D. m.
TO Adjutant General, Washington.
With reference to your telegram of
the 30th ultimo, will cable names of the
missing enlisted men as soon as ascer-
tanned. The company was rushed about
six o'clock in the morning by large body
or bolomen, about 400. General Hughes
thinks the surprise was due to the conf
dence of the commanding officer in asser-
tions of friendship from the natives. Re-
suit of the investigation will be cabled
as soon as obtained.

UPON PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Representatives of Trinity and Wake
Forest Here.
ADMISSION TO THE DEBATE BY TICKET
Trinity Selects the Negative Of the Question
and Wake Forest Has the Affirmative.
The Debates Popular
Institution.

Representatives. of Trinity and Wake
Forest met here yesterday and selected
the question for debate Thanksgiving
Day.
The collegians agreed on the following
question, Trinity choosing the negative
and Wake Forest the affirmative.
Resolved, That the State of North
Carolina should adopt the principle of
compulsory attendance upon her public
schools.
Wake Forest had the selection of the
question, while Trinity had the choice of
sides. The meeting was held at the Var
boro and an early agreement was reach
ed. Wake Forest was represented by Mr..
w. A. Dunn and Mr.. 0. E. Dickinson, and
/ Trinity by Mr. Leslie Howard and Mr..
| A. p. Crawford.
! Another matter considered was the
| propriety of excluding admittance to the
| debate except by ticket. At every previ-
/ Gus debate there has been an awful
crush and the Academy of Music has been
| packed from pit to gallery. Experience
has taught that the crowding together OF
! so many people is both dangerous and
! annoying. 1t was decided to have a con-
| ference on this subject, with Mr. Josephus
! Daniels, the President of the Chamber OF
| Commerce, but he was out of the city,
| The matter will be taken up later.
The issuance of enough tickets to COM
| fortably fill the Academy is thought by
| the college men to be q solution of the
| trouble previously encountered by the
rush and crowding of the public. II has
| been suggested that the charge of
nominal admission fee of ten cents will
| keep away a number of those who are
| attracted to the debate through
! curiosity Some action will limit the at
/ tendance to safe and comfortable pro-
portions
The intercollegiate debate was inaug-
urated five years, ago by the Raleigh
| Chamber of Commerce, which offered q
silver cup as trophy to the successful
! debaters. Each year these debates have
attracted wonderful crowds. Every year
/ hundreds who were unable to gain stand
| ing room, have been turned away.
Athletic contests, football and baseball,
have never commanded anything like the
/ interest and attention of the people of
Raleigh as have these debates.
The speakers who will represent the
two institutions have not yet been Sc
! lected. The various candidates for the
honor will debate the question at the
'preliminaries" when the faculty of the
Institutions will select the men who are
best qualified to represent them.
