TERRIBLE PLAGUE OF MOSQUITOES.
Have Been Positive Torment 10 the Eastern
Counties of North Carolina.

AS terrible almost as any of the seven
plaques of Egypt has been the plague
of mosquitoes that visited some of the
eastern counties of North Carolina this
summer They stung people to the
point of positive torment and in some
places rendered work in the fields an
impossibility; they drove cattle so far
into the bays and streams that they
were drowned; caused sheep and calves
to run themselves to death in an at
tempt to escape their attacks. At
night fires had to be built about resi-
dences, stables and cattle yards that
the smoke might drive off enough of
the mosquitoes to make rest or sleep
possible. One man who has recently
visited some of the coast counties saws:
81 saw cattle patiently huddled about
smoking stumps in the darkness, while
the houses in which people lived were
filled with the smoke of burning rags.
The very air was alive at night with
the little singing pests. No living
thing seemed to escape their sharp
bills, though perhaps cattle and horses
suffered most because least able to de-
fend themselves" The reports of
greatest damage come from HYDE
county, where the soil, vegetation and
drainage are especially favorable to the
mosquito.

Supreme Court TO Decide Question of Title

The long-standing controversy be-

volving the title to the water within
the 12-mile circle drawn from New Cas-

at Washington next month. Attorney
General Herbert H. Ward, of this State,
is preparing to answer upon the part of
Delaware to the contentious of New
Jersey. The answer will uphold the
Delaware claim to title.
The Jerseymen clashed with the
Delaware claim a few months ago,
when they attempted to enforce New
Jersey fish statue against Delaware
fishermen who were at work within
the disputed territory.

PARKER MAY GET A JOB.
Hanna Said To Be BefrleHdlng Negro Who
Struck Assassin CzOIgOsz.

A dispatch Wednesday to the New
York Journal from Buffalo says:
big Jim Parker, the colored waiter
who struck Czolgosz with his fist be-
fore the assailant had time to fire
third shot at President Mckinley, is
practically assured of a Government
job. Senator Hanna is the man who is
credited with this example of thought
fulness in the midst of the stress of
the last four days. The question was
put to Senator Hanna direct and he re-
piled:
"'Yes, yes, but have not had time
to think seriously Oft while everybody
was so upset. I'll look out for Parker
that's all arranged.
Senator Hanna sent for Parker on
Saturday and Big Jim met him at the
Buffalo Club. The Senator and the
waiter were together half an hour, and
when Parker left his shining face
looked like pleased jack-o' lantern.
"Lord, but that Senator Mark is a
slick man, said Parker afterward. He
can ask questions so quick you can't
breathe. Why. he knows more about
the shootin' now than the President
do.

A STORY OF PIETY.
President Said to Have Murmered Prayer
as He Sank Into UncOnciOusness.

Nothing better shows the Christian
ity of President Mckinley than story
told as to his last words before he sank
into unconciousness under the inhu-
ence of ether, when submitting to his
first surgical operation.
Physicians, as rule, are not prone
to sentiment, but with tears in his
eyes one of those who were at the side
of the president when he was operated
on, told how one and all were i'm
pressed by the faith of the President.
There was no outward show of piety
no hypocritical assumption of fitness, -"
said the physicion, "but when we had
administered ether and just as he was
sinking into unconciousness, we saw
his lips move. Bending over his form
that we might catch, alas! might
prove to be his last words, we heard
family, but distinctly, portion OF
the Lords Prayer. "Thy kingdom
come, Thy mill be done," were the last
words of President Mckinley as he
passed into that nebulous vale through
which none knew better than he that
he might never emerge. Baltimore

THREE PRESIDENTS SHOT
DOWN IN FOUR DECADES
LINCOLN IN 1865, GARFIELD IN 1881 AND
M'KINLEY IN 1901, MARTYREO RULERS.
Record Proves That the Life of the Presi-
dent of the United States is in as Great
Peril as Any Other Ruler.


For the third time within a period of
less than 40 years has a President of
the United States been made the vic
tim of the assassin's bullet. 1t was
Lincoln in 1865, Garfield in 1881, and
now, just 20 years later, in 1901, it is
Mckinley who has been stricked down.
1t is difficult for Americans to realize
that their Chief Magistrates are ever
in danger, but this record of three as
sassinations within four decades proves
that the life of the President of the
United States is in as great peril as
that of any ruler in the whole world.
True, in Russia, where the Gar is
cordially hated by millions of his sub
jects, who count regicide as a virtue
rather than a crime, every possible
precaution is taken to guard the ruler
against attack, and he is also hemmed
in by guards and thick walls, so sur
rounded by armed men when he goes
and comes, that his life is made d bur
den, and the dread of sudden death
from violence, is ever before his eyes.
These precautions have had their eff
feet, however, and not since the muir
der of Alexander H., in 1881, the year
Garfield was shot, has a ruler of the
Russias met death by au assassIn's
hand.
France suffered the loss of its Presi-
dent, Sadi Carnot, in this manner, and
King Humbert of Italy and Empress
Elizabeth. of Austria fell victims to at
tacks from crazed Anarchists, whose
weak minds led them to their bloody
deeds, and who believed that wrongs
would be righted by the crimes COM
mitted by them. In these cases the
rulers, like the President of the United
States, mingled freely with their peo-
pie, manifesting no fear, travelling here
and there as they willed, frequently
without escort, firm in their belief that
their people loved them too we'll to do
them hPrm. Their lives were sacri-
uC6uS DuJ lue SUCCESSORS OF mum pert
and of Carnot have not adopted the
policy of the Gear, but continue to
make their appearance in public when
ever they feel so inclined.
The assassin of Lincoln, Garfield
and of Mckinley were all men of that
dangerous type against which it seems
impossible to guard without the adop-
ton of such policy as is pursued by
the Gar of Russia, aud which is in
compatible with American ideas. These
men may be classed as cranks, as peo-
pie with wild notions and fancied
wrongs, but they are none the less re-
sponsible for their awful crimes. II
such men as they who have made the
Presidency of the United States an Of
fee fraught with constant danger to
its occupant, and they can be classed
as the worst enemies with which this
Government has to deal. Their deaths
make but little atonement for their
crimes.

There came near being a very disas-
trous fire last Monday on the farm near
Kenton owned by DIR. o. Downs and
tenanted by MIR. Peter Beckett. One
of the large straw ricks near the barn
took fire. 1t was nearly surrounded
by two other ricks, one of which was
not more than one hundred feet from
the barn which has been recently built.
and for a time it looked as if all the
straw and buildings would go, but the
alarm of the farm bell brought help
from the nearby fields and farms, and
by hard work the fire was kept confined
to the one rick Mr.. Beckett thinks
his little children caused the fire.
Mr.. George Cook, who now resides
on his farm near Downs Chapel, has
recently bought a property. in Kenton
on Frazier Street. Rumor says that
Mr.. Cook, who has been prosperous
farmer, intends to retire from business
