THE REGISTRARS MOL PRoSSED.
There were thirty-four cases on the
Federal docket at Greensboro, against
registrars and others election officers, as
follows:

gomery county.
Geo. English and eleven others, for
conspiracy, of Montgomery county
OTHER REGISTRARS INDICTED.
In addition to these, there are cases on
the dockets at Charlotte Statesville and
Asheville. These probably number ten
or dozen. unless there are some con-
spiracy cases among them, in which
event the number will be much larger.
Those on the docket at Statesville are:
Mark Squires, Lenoir, Caldwell county.
j. A. Perry and William Powell, Nor
canton, Burke county.
H. M. Rhyme, Linville township, Burke

Scotland Neck, N. c., 10.-There is
quite a freshet in the Roanoke and Tar
Rivers.
A few nights ago some white boys fog
ged negro on the street. The case was
tried this week and one of the boys was
placed under bond for his appearance at
court. Next morning he had left town
and no one knows of his whereabouts.
Last night an amateur troupe from Tar
boro rendered in the opera house here
The Mascot. The proceeds, which
amounted to $40 were for the benefit of
a new hospital, which is being built and
equipped in Tarboro. Many said here
that it was the best playing by anna
teurs they had ever seen. Special ap-
probation was expressed for the sing
ing of Mr.. Paul Jones.

sulting to those whom he desired to
propitiate.
In his published statement (and l say
published because l am informed it was
neither spoken nor read in open court) he
says he acted with the understanding
etc." and then states an understanding
which would seem to imply an admission
that there had been justification for these
prosecutions. l do not know with whom
he claims to have had such an under
standing, but l do know that no one au-
thorized to represent the organization of
the Democratic party has had this or
any other understanding with him, nor
do believe the gentlemen (Democrats)
who may have recommended to him the
dismissal of these cases have agreed to
any conditions or entered into any un-
derstanding that would imply the guilt
of the registrars or impute wrong-doing
to the Democratic party.
'If Mr.. Holton for any reason did not
see fit to try these registrars, he should
not in his official statements, even by
innuendo, have attempted to cast an inn
putation upon them, for it was not the
case of a defendant who says II am
guilty" or Il am unable to contend with
the Government and, therefore, throw
myself on its mercy" but it was the case
of men (backed by a great political par
ty and by legislative enactment based
on an abiding faith in their blameless-
ness) stoutly protesting their innocence.
IF Mr.. Holton, in dismissing these
cases, desired or intended to do what
he considered gracious thing it is a
pity that he should have done it so un-
graciously.
= ITO Judge Boyd's statements there can
be no objection. 1t was dignified, in good
taste, and recognized the delicate pro-
prieties of the situation. -

Charlotte, N. c., April 10.-It was an
awfully poor article of base ball that the
Raleigh team dispensed with in Charlotte
today. While no one was sanguine to the
extent of hoping for victorious termina-
tion for the Capital City team, it was ex
pected that better exhibition of base
ball would be given.
The Raleigh boys were badly besmirch-
ed in the first inning with the champion
ship pennant team, and during the re-
mainder of the game no recovery seemed
possible. Stanley, Raleigh's first pitcher
was batted at will. The Brooklyns would
seemingly, place the ball anywhere they
liked and in consequence, Raleigh's out
felders were continually giving the
grand stand an excellent idea of what
real foot race is. There we're some so
unkind as to say the Raleigh team was

ing it UP is that the boys lack practice;

Bowden succeeded Stanley in the box
after the fifth inning. He met with prac-
tically the same fate as did his predeces-
sor, and in fit of desperation, Kelley
was taken from first base and landed in

Poll Tax Causes a Shut DOVE
(By the Associated Press

birmingham, Ala, April 10.-The plant
of the Dimm.ck Pine Company at North
Birmingham, employing 200 men, closed
down yesterday because a deputy tax col
lector served garnishments on the en-
ployes for the non-payment of poll tax,
A large number of the men are from
the North, and were not apprised of the
Birmingham system of paying poll tax
until they found that. on notices from a
justice of the peace, $3.50 had been held
back from their wages to pay the tax
collector.
The men became indignant and many
of them quit work, causing the plant tc
shut down.
Effort is being made to resume opera
tions tomorrow morning.

They have passed over us here they have passed over the unruffled surface of trade and commerce. They have left the money market almost un- disturbed, and I venture to say they have caused no real suffering to our people. Is not that a testimony to the greatness of our resources and the pow CT of this country? I believe we are greater than we have ever been.

THE VIREOS,
Copyright 1901, by Ernest Harold
 Baynes)

Copyright 1901, by Ernest Harold Baynes)
 We may learn to know practically
 all of our wild birds by sight; we may
 even have a friendly holding acquain- tance with many. but the birds which will allow us to walk up and shake hands" with you them so to speak, and consent to meet us when we call
 upon them in their own homes, are few indeed. Yet there are birds in the woods
 about us which will permit such
 familiarity, and if any of my readers
 desire to be on their calling list, I
 would suggest that they obtain an in
 troduction to the Vireos
 These delightful little birds, of which
 there are several species in the Eastern
 States, belong to a peculiarly Ameri-
 can family. Most of their relatives
 live in Central and South America and
 even the species which spend their
 summer with US, go south to the trop-
 ics for the winter, They are small, graceful birds, with stoutish bills, and
 most of them with olve-green backs. Some are to be found in the woods or shade trees, and some in the under growth. They feed chiefly on insects and insects larvae which they gather on the under surfaces of leaves and in the crevices of the bark They are rather leisurely in their movements neither as restless as the warblers, which are forever fitting from branch to branch, nor as cratic as the fly otal yY1tp oh out into the air to capture some pass ing insect
 All of our vireos are more or less mu- sical, and some of them sing delightful ly, but it is neither their music nor their beauty which has the greatest attraction for us; it is their tameness. I was walking along a quiet New Eng land lane some years ago, when small bird flew across the road in front of me and disappeared in the lower branches of a maple tree. The manner of flight made me suspicious, and after examin- ing the tree for a few minutes I dis covered little basket-like nest slung beneath the forked twig, perhaps teWelve feet from the sround. On the nest sat bird which raised itself a little to peer curiously down at me. As she did so. 1 had glimpse of a yellow throat, which told at once to which branch of Vireo family she be- longed. l had never seen a yellow vireo's egg at that time, so I climbed the tree and crept out as far as the slender branch would permit The bird still kept her seat and of course the inside of the nest was hidden I broke off dead twig 'Shoo." I said, but she scarcely looked and tried to startle her with that; but she seemed to regard the whole idea as joke, and when I poked her little | with the stick she playfully pecked at 1t. l was now much more interested in | the bird than in the eggs, and, to see

STILL 7HIRD, BUT-,


 This yachting business is becoming decidedly interesting. The Independ- ence is still third, but if she hadn't lost her topmast yesterday at the very start there might have been another story. For twenty minutes after the start she sailed with the wreck of her club topsail trailing astern, while for six minutes she was motionless while the crew cleared away the tangle. Yet she was only beaten z minutes and AZ seconds at the first mark and sailed the second leg of the triangle in less time than either of the other yachts, although they carried club topsails. And the Columbia beat the Constitu- tion.
 There are to be no more trials be- tween the yachts for awhile, but it Is to be hoped that in the fulness of time the Independence will some day have the right kind of wind, and be able to go through a race without breaking down. If this combination ever does happen she may surprise people.

RICH AND CONFIDENT.

There has been much talk about Eng lands heavy expenses and some of the takers have predicted very gloomy things if the war in South Africa does mt let up pretty soon. But another song is sung by Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Chancellor of the Exchequer It is a song of confidence in England's ability to pay for what she wants or must have. He points out that the calls for money to use in South Africa have not disturbed British trade, commerce, or the money market, and have imposed no perceptible burden on the people.

He knew every man, woman and child in the village, their names, their fathers and mothers names, their ai- ments, the ailments of their cattle, the qualities of their land. Everyone came to him for advice on the petty affairs if the village, and they were always sure of the best advice he could give.
 I shall never forget my first sight of Father Sergei. It was harvest even ing, the sun had just gone down, and between me and the west hung dia- phanous cloud, half-dust, half-evening glow. Out of the west came crowd of villagers marching in time and singing one of their queer wild songs. The girls had poppies and corn flowers in their hair, the men carried rakes and scythes. At their head marched burly Father Sergei singing like the rest, his face shining with precipitation and streaked with dust. He wore the old straw hat I have spoken of, and the girls had stuck poppies all around it, Russian Letter in New York Observer.

VILLAGE PRIEST IN RUSSIA.

Father Sergei Sofranoff was the
 priest of the village of Vesoli-- Kout,
 struggling place of 300 cottages, sit
 uated right in the center of one of the
 interior provinces of Russia. The
 nearest railway station was 40 miles
 away. There was a small, sluggish
 river creeping along in front of the village; behind it stretched a gloomy
 wall of pines far as the eye could reach The fields were along the riv- CT on both sides, rich enough grass lands, and wide eXpanse of rye, and oats and barley From the center of the struggling mass of houses rose the church, a commOdious cruciform erec- tion painted white. Its roof was of green iron, and this was surmounted by a blue cupola painted over with gided stars. A few yards from the church stood the campanile, but only one of the bells could be rung, the rest were cracked and Father Sergei had no money to expend on new bells,
 The houses, or rather novels, in the village were all of the same pattern, with the one exception of the priests cottage. They were low, semi-subter- ranean huts of mud or sun-dried brick, strengthened here and there with beam from the neighboring forest. They hda matched roofs all patched with damp moss The windows and doors of these lowly dwellings all hung crooked. The glass in the windows was generally cracked or broken, and the holes stuffed with rags, or pasted over with old newspapers In the summer the roads were ankle deep in sufficating dust in winter knee deep in mud or snow. Vesoli- -Kout was one of the poorest villaeec in the province. It could not afford a schoolmaster nor was there any school building. The numbered about 1,500, and of these 20 men and three women knew how to read and write.
 Father Sergei's house was near the church. It had four-rooms, a sitting room, bedroom, a store-room and q kitchen. When I visited the priest he cleared out the store-room for me, he placed some boards on the earthen floor and on these a straw mattress and good pillow. Over me he placed a

WILL HIS OLD FRIENDS STICK {?

| The action of the Ohio Democrats in repudiating Brother Bryan and the
 probability that the Democrats of other States will repudiate him when they
 interesting questions. Perhaps the most interesting Is, will such repudiation
 weaken or strengthen the Democratic vote? In other words, will his old friends stick or stick him? Of course the answer to this depends on how loy- al the Bryan Democrats are to their
 old leader. Charles Dick, chairman of the Republican committee of Ohio, seems to think that the Democrats of Ohio will lose votes by the action of their convention. He says: I think that Bryan has a great personal fol- lowing in Ohio. Thousands of the peo- pie there idolize him in way and have blindly attached themselves to his for retain strong hold on these people. Now the question Is what will be the effect on his followers when 1t is known that the Democratic convention abso- lutely refused to mention his name in the platform, and to that extent repu diated him and the doctrines for which he has contended even going so far as to trample on his picture. This action may be resented by Bryan's friends throughout the State.
 Time will tell, but it will be surpris- ing if Brother Bryan is able to hold his old friends against the new deal He is more likely to find that republics are ungrateful
