A strike of union street-car opera
t1ves in Albany, New York, last
week, resulted in a clash with the non
union workers employed to succeed

and other serious results may fol-

Consul circuit, of Malta, notes that
recent experiments in wireless te-
legraphy off the coast there have
resulted in the successful transmits
sion of a message 1874 miles. While
experimenting on a ship in the open
sea, he adds, the operators we're sur
prised to receive a message in Ital-
ian, asking as to the position of the
ship. It afterward turned out that
the message came from an Italian
war vessel at Syracuse.
A majority of the Cuban Commit
tee on Relations, Tamayao, Villuen-
das and de Quesada, are in favor of
the committee making an immediate
report advising the Constitutional
Convention to accept the Platt
Amendment. Seniors Gomez and
Silva are strongly opposed to this
action. 1t is said that in drawing
up the minority report they inter
pref the explanations of Secretary
Root as an admission that the United
States will change the Platt Amend
ment if the Cubans insist upon it.

elected to Congress as a Populist.
Now he takes his stand with Nc
Laurin, of South Carolina, except
that he is more logical and more con-

News and Observer: ct have been
living in Greensboro six years" said
Judge John Gray Bynum, who was
in Raleigh Yesterday, "and in that
time the population has increased 80
per cent. 1t is marvellous. Shortly
after coming to Greensboro I paid Sc
a front foot for a lot, not far re-
moved from the business houses,
and since then that piece of land has
been sold for $40 a front foot. There
is property there that sold for Sc a
front foot six years ago that cannot
now be bought for less than 1926 a
front foot. That tells the story of
Greensboro's growth. Why, on one
street in Greensboro, within the past
year, $3.50, 900 has been put in brick.
The people of Greensboro do not
doubt that it will lead the State in
population before the next census"

RUSSIA PLANTING HEAVY CROP OF
COTTON.
So Reports Consul Hanauer.

WASHINGTON, May lit is ex-
pected that Russia will soon be able
to supply her own needs in cotton,
according to a report received at the
State Department from Deputy Con-
sui General Hanauer, at Frankfort,
Germany. She is one of the few
countries which levies a tax on i'm
ported cotton. A tax equal to al
most SIS per 100 pounds and amount
ing to about two-thirds of the value
of the staple is imposed. The i'm
portation of cotton diminished over
Y, 600, 900 pounds in 1899, while the
production increased "a per cent.
during the same year. Grain fields
in Russia are now planted with cot
ton, for the cultivation of the fibre
is much more profitable than that of
wheat.

HANNA FOR PRESIDENT IN 1904.
Some Politicians Predict That He Will Be
the Republican Candidate.

the Republican Candidate.
WASHINGTON, May 18.-There is
considerable talk in political circles
regarding Senator Hanna's boom for
the Presidency. A special to the
Philadelphia Record has this to say
upon the subject:
Following close upon the recent
Hill Presidential boom, which caused
more or less agitation in Democratic
circles, comes the Hanna boom ex-
plotted by Perry Heath from Lon
don. Strange to say, there seems to
be a disposition in administration
circles to regard the Hanna PROPOSE
ton seriously. Heath is Secretary
of the Republican National Com
mittee, of (which Senator Hanna is
Chairman, and is supposed to be
about as close to him as almost any
man in politics.
"Heath is considered too smooth g.
politician to spring anything like
this just to be talking, and the i'm
preston is that his interview has
been cabled after due elaboration
and an understanding with promi-
nent Republicans. On one or two
former occasions, when Senator
Hanna has been mentioned as a pos
sible candidate in 1904, he has ridi.
culed the idea and announced that
it was foolishness, but he has per-
mitted so important a statement as
Heath's to pass without objection,
so far as known"

LITTLE Rock, ARK, May 16.-The
sixteenth annual session of the South
ern Presbyterian General Assembly
began here to-day, the opening ses-
sion being called to-order by the re-
firing moderator, George J. Martin,
of Little Rock. DR.. Leander M.
Woods, of Memphis, who vas this
afternoon elected moderator,
preached the opening sermon. He
was assisted in the services by the
venerable DR.. G. W. Boggs, of Holly
Springs, Miss, who vas a member
of the first Southern Presbyterian
Assembly in Augusta, Ga, in 1861.
There we're upward of 200 ministers
present.
A catechism on church government
has been proposed by a commission
headed by DR.. R. P. Kerr, of Rich
mond, Va and will be submitted to
the assembly. 1t will be for use in
Sunday School and Bible classes.
Another question that will excite
deep interest is that of abandoning
the international system of Sabbath
School lessons for another which
makes a more graded system for
Bible study.
The decline of candidates for the
ministry will occasion grave study.
The Assembly will be asked to ap-
prove of the consolidation of the
Danville Seminary, under the con-
troll of the Northern Synod of Ken
lucky, and the Louisville Seminary,
under the control of the Southern
Synods of Kentucky and Missouri.

INDIAN SKELETONS FOUND.

Since the recent freshet a great
many skeletons, presumably of In
dlans, have been found at different
places along water courses. Last
week DR.. L. HarriII returned from a
visit to his farm in Wilkes county,
bringing with him what is supposed
TO be the parts of four different
skeletons. These bones we're found
on the land of Mr.. II. G.. DOuthit,
about 13 miles east of WilkesOorO,
on the YadkIn river, adjoining the
land of DR.. Harrill.
There is among the bones a well
preser ed skull having all the teeth
except the left lower wisdom tooth.
The teeth are we'll worn, so on
the right side. Everything about
the skull indicates old age. Most
all the other bones brought here
we're pieces that had been broken.
Two graves we're found that had not
been tempered with and the whole
of the skeletons we're there but were
so decayed that they fell to pieces
when handled. The bodies we're
buried in d doubled up position, the
legs living against the breast and
head turned toward the east
A great many pieces of earthen-
ware vessels and other things indi-
cate that these may be Indian skele-
tons.-Statesville Landmark.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers neve thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce. and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostitution or Heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation of undigestad food, regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate the nerv-
ous and organic action Of the system,
and that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need to give a few
doses of Green's August Flower, in
liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Get Green's Prize Almanac.
