had made to the justice, Frank Moss or
representatives of the district attor-
ney's office, he maintained hat his
clients were innocent. He said no
crime could be proven against them.
Justice Jerome then said he himself
must ave a very faulty knowledge of
the law as he believed the defendants
were guilty.
Mr.. Friend then said that he was sure
the justice would not make judgment
on the case before the examination. He
a his clients had made a statement
contrary to his wishes.
Finally the justice said: I'VE will let
the prisoners decide for themselves if
they want an adjournment"
After a few minutes conference be-
tween Whitney, Burgdorf and their
counse an adjournment was taken un-

the teachers will not receive a most

Scotland Neck Commonwealth: 1t
costs more to live in a manufacturing
town than it does to live in a town
without manufactures. This is very
easy of explanation. There are more
people in a manufacturing town who
nav to buy everything they consume.
Gardens and poultry and the like have
TO be neglected frequently by those
who work in manufacturing concerns
because they have little or no I'M 10
devote to such things. The result is
that things usually brought in by farm
ers Inc others in the country to the
own to market sell at a better price,
because there is more demand for them.
And in all this there are many reasons
why a farmer should count himself
fortunate in living near a manufacture
ing town. He can get better prices for
his chickens, eggs, a vegetables,
milk, butter, and the like.
Fayetteville Observer: We have
several times in the past had occasion

acy into firing the first shot in order
that the northern heart, then pract1-
cally acQuiescing in the establishment
of the new Confederacy, might be in
famed. Tactically, therefore, and in
the light of the event, the Confeder-
acy may have committed the blunder
which cost II it's life when it played
into Mr.. Stewards hands; but it is diff
ficult to see how it could have avoided
it without sacrificing it's self-respect,
to say nothing of the Stragetic posi-
tions threatened by the Federal gov
eminent. There can be no more inter-
esting study than the reading Of Colo
mel McClure'S article in connection with

Washington, August 1.-THE state
department today received mail advices
from three different quarters in Colom-
bia. all showing revolutionary move
ments in progress. and a rather serious
condition of affairs. Both termini of
the Panama railway route were heard
from, Consul General Gudger writing
from Panama as to revolutionary at
tacks on nearby towns, and Consul
Malmros, at Colon, reporting that guer-
rilla fighting has been going On at
different points between Colon and
Panama. At the same time, Minister
Hart wrote from the capital OF Colon
bia as TO the arrest and Imprisonment
of prominent adherents of the former
president. DR.. Sanclemente. They were
suspected OF seeking to have the ma
tionalist organization join with the lib
erals. who are said to be showing in
creased strength and activity, in a rev.
dictionary movement.
Although these letters have taken
some time TO come forward, yet they
give the state department about the
best and the only definite information
which is at hand as to the condition Of
affairs.
Mr.. Gudger's letter speaks of a revo-
lutionary raid on the 26th and 9th of
July, in which an alcalde and several
policemen were made prisoners and
some arms and provisions captured.
This is not the holding up of the train
at Matachin. reported by him by cable,
as that happened later, and did not re-
suit in any looting.
The navy department received word
today of the departure of the Iowa
whence she will go to Panama, If her
