Another Report of the Fire.

Especial to the News and Observer.)
Greenville, N. c., Oct. 21-F'ifteen
bales of cotton belonging to Messrs
Alston and j. Bryan Grimes were des-
trOyed by fire in their gin-house at
Grimesland at four O'Clock this morning.
The fire was of incendiary origin and the
incendiary was tracked to Laughing
houses landing where the trail was
lost.
In escaping from the scene of his crime
the firebug fell into a deep ditch near
the gin-hous and left a broad trail to
Laughinghouse's landing. He wore an
apparently new pair of shoes with sharp
toes and was evidently unfamiliar with
or had forgotten the existence of the
ditch and general lay of the land near
the clubhouse. The cotton is a total loss
and was uninsured.

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS

Senator Hale told the newspaper
men last week that he thought Con-
gress would adjourn about June 10,
and as the Senator from Maine is
member of both the committee on APP
preparations and of the steering COM
mittee he probably knows. Such
early adjournment would mean, how
ever, that many important questions
would go over until the short session.
With the anti-anarchy bill, the anti
oleomargarine bill, the Chinese eX-
clusion bill and the various appropri-
alton bills still to be considered, there
will not be much time left for other
business. Senator Morgan still hopes
to secure action on the Hepburn canal
bill and said last week he believed it
would pass. Senator Hanna, how
ever, is opposed to it and still favors
further consideration of the Panama
route but he has abandoned his advoc-
acy of the Darien route. Mr.. Hanna
does not hesitate to show his anger at
the attempt of the Senator from Ala
bama to rush through his favorite bill
and has announced his intention of
making vigorous fight for the
Spooner amendment which provides
that, If the department of justice de-
cides that a clear title can be con-
veyed by the Panama company and
the Colombian government, the Presi-
dent shall be authorized to purchase
the French company's property at the
price named, $40, 600, 900. Senator ALI
son, as chairman of the committee Oh
appropriations, has shown slight
disposition to question the advisable.
ity of appropriating so much money
to be spent outside the United States
and there are those who say that Mr..
Allison may present serious opposi
ton if the question of route is de
cided.
The Cuban reciprocity bill is an
other measure which will occupy con
siderable time in the Senate unless
present signs fail. Senator Perkins
says the Senate will defeat it anC
Senator Rawlins and other Demo
cratic senators, while unwilling t.
positively announce their course il
advance, do not regard the measure
with favor. Senator Lodge, on tn
other hand, is quite positive that i
will pass as are Senator Penrose an'
numerous others.

600 horse power North German Lloyd
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II, now near
ng completion at the yards of the
Vulcan Shipbuilding company at Stet-
tin. The Lucania at present holds the
record of five days, seven hours, and
twenty three minutes between Queens
town and Sandy Hook. Should the
new Cunard steamships maintain
twenty i've knots all hour they would
make the same voyage in four and
two thirds days.
The best ocean steaming record at
present is 1881 knots an hour,
made by the Hamburg American liner
Deutschland between New York and
Cherburg. The Deutschland is CSC
feet long and has engines of 30, 900
horse power.
1t will then be seen that unless the
Cunard company is disappointed in
the engines of the new ships, their
completion will mark another impor-
tant period in the progress of nautical
construction, and will still further
materially reduce the time for crossing
the Atlantic.

about 1870, 900. The outlook for all
these territories is bright, and parti-
cularly is this true of Oklahoma. AS
the silver issue has been shelved it
would appear that there will be but lit
tie incentive to opposition to the ad-
mission of these territories. Partisan
reasons may control some votes, and
possibly may delay the admission of
some of the three. Oklahoma, even
with the new accessions to her popu-
lation in 1901, is likely to be carried
by the Republicans, while the Demo
Gratis seem to have the better chance
in both New Mexico and Arizona.
Counting four electoral votes for Ok
lahoma and three each for the other
two territories, the Democrats would
gain two votes for President by the
admission of the three territories.
But leaving partisanship aside, there
is no good reason to refuse admission
to any of these terriorrites

Of Lasting Results.

We are pleased to report in this issue
that "Blood Wine," the new medicine
which we have recently induced the
manufacturers to place on sale here, has
Jumped into instant favor and large
number of our citizens have availed
themselves of the opportunity to test it
free of charge, and several are now taking
it daily and already feeling the effects of
it's health-giving properties.
The market is today flooded with pro-
prietary articles of all kinds. Some are
good, some are bad, some harmless, while
others possess little or no medicinal prop
erty The sale of ''Blood Wine" has
been developed purely on its merits, for
the manufacturers have always held
aloof from advertising, believing that to
thus present it might prejudice the minds
of some, as there are people who think
that any advertised medicine is "quack
noStrum."
"Blood Wine" is scientific prepara-
ton; in fact, one of the most potent of
recent discoveries in materia medica.
If you should summons physician, re-
ceive his advice, accept his prescription,
have it filed and conduct yourself ac-
cording to his instruction, you must be
at an expense of from say 81 so to $500 OF

and the druggist who compounded your
prescription.
Now for fifty cents you can get bot
tie of this excellent French remedy
which will do as much for you as your
physician and druggist combined, pro-
viding of course that BLOOD Wine will
suit your case. 1t is not cure-all; it is
not a medicine that will cure disease af-
ter death has already frightened its grasp
upon the unfortunate victim; it is sense
less for anyone to make such claim of
any medicine, and no honest proprietor
speaking to the intelligent masses will do
it. "Blood Wine" will not disappoint
you. It has worked wonders in thou
sands and hundreds of thousands of cases
in the cities. 1t will cure in great
many instances where other remedies
and doctors fail. twill prevent coughs,
colds, grippe, pneumonia, consumption,
Brights disease, rheumatism, indiges-
ton, constipation, nervous disorders and
infections of the blood, and it will bring
about q permanent cure Of any Of these
diseases excepting when consumption or
Bright's disease is in the most advanced
stage. If your lungs are beginning to be
affected, if you have poor appetite,
are sleepless nights, are losing flesh, OF
notice slight cough, are nervous and
fidgety, "Blood Wine" will cure you.
Go to the drug store and inquire
about this celebrated preparation; see II
it suits your case, sample it, read the
literature and make thorough investi-
cation. If satisfied invest fifty cents for
a full bottle and notice its wonderful ac-
ton. "Dlood Wine contains no wine OF
opiates. You will not be humbugged, you
will not be fooled, you'll get your mon

a COMMUNICATION

Middlesex, VT, Mch. IS, 1902
Editor of Waterman and Journal -
Why is all this clamor for a native
born candidate for next Governor?
Have not twenty four out of the forty
five men who have been elected to
govern Vermont been born out of the
State? Have not three out Of the last
five elected been born in other states
and dominions? Have not one half of
the last ten been outsiders by birth,
and have we not got along just as
well with them as we have with the
native born ones? Was not one of the
brightest and best governors we ever
had native of New York and
Dutchman at that, who was elected al
most unanimously as long as he would
take the office-the brilliant, chival-
rous courteous gentleman, the states
man and patriot, Cornelius p. Van
Ness? And from New York we got
Jacob Collamer, Vermont's grandest
man in his day, our first cabinet Off
Ger and the States first candidate for
President.
New York owes us more good
men, for we have given them Arthur,
Evarts, Morton, and Silas Wright and
host of others, besides giving them
Nus all Un6 Ulme IrOm 100 TO 1871.
And what is the trouble about rail
road Governors?'' Did we not have
one in 1S41, before there was a rod of
railroad in Vermont and did we not
thereby get the Vermont Central road?
Without that, Bear Swamp would
long ago have covered Montpelier and
bats and owls could have sat where
now sits the Supreme Court of Yer
mont. Honor to Charles Paine,
man with short legs, but with
mighty long and strong will. Since
then we have had three railroad presi-
dents for governors, and several rail
road attorneys Don't let US be mar
row minded about these matters; a
railroad is a power of progress, COM
fort, a convenience, a means of civil
ization; we ought to have more of
them.
Our rule ought to be, "Get the
best" Sometimes we make mistakes,
we did in 1872 in not having Freder-
lex Billings for Governor Let us not
repeat that error. There is one offer
ed us whose fame now extends from
the cape of Delaware to the " Golden
Gate whose craftsmanship is broad
enough to reach from Panama to Beh-
ring Strait Let us have for Gov
ernor John G.. Mccullough of the
United States.
An Old Republican.
