We regret that great pressure of our
columns prevents our publishing in full
president Winston's address before the
State Agricultural Society on Wealth Fac
tors Needed in North Carolina. We print
below extracts from some of the most
striking thoughts of the address, which
the speaker fully supported by argument
and deliberately illustrated.
The main ideas of the speech are:
/. That it requires skill and technical
knowledge to develop North Carolina.
2. That we should not go begging for
foreigners to come in and possess our
wealth, because Of their superior skill and
knowledge. but should educate our own
sons and daughters to develop and retain
the resources which providence has given
our State.
These propositions should be self-evi-
dent. They are certainly both true and
patriotic. II the money that has been
wasted in schemes to advertise North
Carolina abroad had been employed in
training and teaching our own people at
home the resources of the State would
be far better developed.
We hope the Board of Agriculture will
publish President Winston's address as
tribute it all over North Carolina.

FIREMEN MEET DEATH
FROM FLAMING OIL

PHILADELPHIA Aug. 2O-While a
large force of fremen were endeavoring
to check the fire IN nest of burning
oil tanks at the Atlantic Oil Refining
company's plant at Point Breeze in the
southwestern section of the city about
1890 o'clock this morning an immense
tank Of benzine suddenly exploded.
Many fremen were in close proximity
to the tank and fell victims to the blaz-
ing oil and flying pieces OF iron. Three
or four were killed and many were
badly burned before they could be res
cued by their more fortunate compau-
ions. A general call was telegraphed
for ambulances and patrol wagons, and
the injured were hurried to the hospi-
tails in the lower end Of the city. At

men cannot be learned. They were hor-

tilated. The bodies were hardly recog-
nizable when brought to the morgue at
1:30 o'clock this morning. Some OF the
injured will die. Ten or twelve tanks
of benzine and petroleum have already
been destroyed, and the fire has not
been checked. The fire, it is thought,
will not burn itself out Tor several days.
The loss, it is estimated. viii reach

Have Said Discussing the Bat
tie of Santiago in an
Interview.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The navy de-
partment has decided that the Schley
court of inquiry shall be held in the
gunners workshop at the navy yard.
The workshop is a large new building
and well adapted to the requirements of
the court
Judge Jere Wilson and Hon. Isadore
Rayner, counsel for Rear Admiral Schley
in the coming court of inquiry, called on
Acting Secretary of the Navy Hackett
today and made inquiries regarding the
departments list of witnesses They We're
informed that the department had no
prepared list; that the preparation Of this
list is in the hands of Capt. Lemley, the
judge advocate of the court, who is now
in Canada, and who is expected to return
to Washington next Monday. They also
were informed that the counsel for Ad-
miral Schley could write a letter TO
Capt Lemley, asking for the list, which
letter would be forwarded to the judge
advocate, or they could await his return
and then make application. 1t is under
stood letter will be addressed to the
department by Admiral Schleys counsel,
asking for list of witnesses. 1t is stated
that the call on Secretary Hackett was
informal. During their conference with
Acting Secretary Hackett today, Messrs.
Raynor and Wilson advised him that a
communication would be sent him this
afternoon relative to certain statements
reported to have been made by Rear
Admiral Howison, a member of the court
of inquiry, in regard to the Schley-
Sampson controversy.
HOWISON TALKED, TOO.
The letter to Secretary Hackett will in
close copies of interviews purporting to
have come from Admiral Howison stat
ing, among other things, that the battle
of Santiago was won by Sampson; that
the latters presence was unnecessary at
that fight; that Schley deserved no credit
for the victory and that between the two
officers Sampson is the better man.
Mr.. Hackett is requested to forward
this communication to Admiral Howison
for his consideration, and a copy of that
officers reply to the department is asked
for.
While the request of the counsel of
Admiral Schley for list of witnesses
will be submitted to Judge Advocate Gen
eral Lemley, as a matter of FORM it has
already been determined at the depart
ment that the request will be complied
with and the list furnished Admiral
Schley's lawyers. Possibly this will not
be done until after the return of Capt
Ler&ey to Washington
rdt b. W. Wells, who was a flag
-1cntary to Admiral Schley during the

who said he desired the assistance OF
Lieut. Wells because of his Familiarity

one of the big hotels in the West end,

were coming, formally protested to the
proprietor, assuring him that such a
thing would not be permitted in the Unit
ed States, and demanding that the color
ed people be accommodated in a separate
part of the hotel. The proprietor decIin-
ed to interfere, with the result that some
of the Americans are already arranging
to leave.
