BRYAN OPPOSES HILLS CANDIDACY.

Bryan in an editorial in this weeks
Commoner on D. B. Hills candidacy
takes Hills speech at the recent
Manhattan club banquet as a formal
announcement of his candidacy. He
says Hill is the favorite son of the
re-organized element in the Demo-
cratic party and declares that the
money plank of Hills platform is
most unique and alluring to an art
full dodger. He says: ga man could
stand on that platform and advocate
gold, silver, nickel or copper and
after the election declare that hard
money simply meant money that was
hard to GET"
Bryan adds that Hills complete
s~ubservience to the fnanciers
stamps his pretended interest in bi.
metalism as hypocritical. He would
make the Democratic platform so
like the Republican platform that
Democratic victory, if one was pos.
sible, would mean NOTTINGHAM.

INTEREST IN OHIO POLITICS.
Foraker Against Hanna and Hanna Against
Foraker.

Foraker.
WASHINGTON, March Il. Ohio
Republicans in Washington say that
the political conditions in their
State make it absolutely certain that
Senator Hanna will not try to get
the Presidential nomination in 1904.
They say that if ne did Senator For.
aker would throw all his Strength
for Roosevelt and that would give
him the Ohio vote. On the other
hand Senator Foraker is said to have
the Presidential be9 buzzing in his
bonnet but if he should attempt to
stand as a candidate Senator Hanna's
influence would be sure to go TO
Roosevelt, and that would defeat
Foraker in his own State. Senator
Hanna's popularity and influence
have increased rather than dimin-
ished since the advent Of Roosevelt's
administration, and many of the
ablest and shrewdest politicians in
the Republican party would hasten
to his support if he should ask them
TO assist him further in his politi-
cal ambitions but as the situation
exists at present, it is the belief of
Republicans generally that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will be nominated in
1904 and that Senator Hanna will
head the Roosevelt delegation from
Ohio.

GOOD ROADS FOR CUMBERLAND.

Cumberland county has a plan that
promises great results. 1t is to issue
bonds for 800, 900 for the improve
ment of the roads of the county, and
as Senator McNeill put it yesterday,
this can be done without raising the
taxes in the slightest degree.
In 1898 the county issued bonds for
the erection of a court house, and
the taxes from the Wilmington and
Weldon Railroad we're set aside to
meet the bond issue. At that time
these taxes amounted TO about So, 200
YEARLY, but with the years has come
an increase in the tax with the in
crease in value, which now puts it
nearly up TO the SO, 900 mark
The plan is to issue the $780, 900
bonds, use S., 900 a year TO pay a five
per cent interest, and set aside $4,000
as a sinking fund, all the time meet
ing the obligations for the court
house bonds with the other money
from the railroad taxes. Senator Mo
Neill is enthusiastic over the pros
Deots and feels that the meeting
To be held in Fayetteville in April
will nut on foot q great effort for
good roads, such a one as will result
in the passage of a bill by the next
LEGISLATURE authorizing the issue OF
800, 900 in bonds for good roads in

$1,000 DAMAGES FOR THE BOY.

Jury Held Corporation Was Negligent in I'm.
ployinR a Child.
Greensboro special to News and
Observer: The question as to what
extent a corporation ia negligent in
employing a child came up in the
Superior court at Lexington a few
days ago in the course of a suit
against the Alma Furniture Com
pany, of High Point, for damages
for the injury of nine-year-old boy,
who was injured while at work in
the factory. The boys work was
around a machine which was en-
oased on all sides, but, with a boys
curiosity, he climbed to the top one
day, when his hand was caught be-
tween sand rollers and horribly
mutilated. Under this phase of the
case, the defense argued that the
boy had contributed to his own in
jury and was not, therefore, entitled
to damages. In charging
the jury Judge Shaw held that, IN
less the mere fact that the corpora
ton had employed a nine-year-old
boy was in itself negligence, the
plaintiff could not eoo ver The
jury held that the employing of the
boy was negligence and gave a YER
dict for 81, 900.

The Senate Committee on Isthmian Canals

"
The Senate Committee on Isthmian Canals
Decided by a Vote of Z to A to Report the
Hepburn Bill.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 10
The Senate Committee on Isthmian
Canals has decided by a vote of 2 to 4
to report the Hepburn Bill providing
for the construction of an isthmian
canal via the Nicaragua route.
The action of the committee was
taken at a called meeting held during
the afternoon and came after a brief
report by Senator Morgan, chairman
of the committee, detailing the re-
suit of a conference with Secretary
Hay as to the status of diplomatic
negotiations with the Central Amer
lean Republics concerning the canal.
He stated that the Secretary had
told him there was no negotiations
in progress between the United
States and Colombia concerning the
Panama route and that the new
minister from that country to this
had not even presented his
credentials but that on the
other hand, the representatives of
this country and those of Nicaragua
and Costa Rica had been in consul
tation and had practically agreed
upon all the points to be covered in
concession treaties, nothing really
being left in that connection but to
put the agreement in writing. He
said shat the Governments of those
two countries had manifested a dis,
position to make all the concessions
which the United States could ask to
aid in the construction of q canal and
that among these concessions is one
for perpetual right of way.
The vote for the Hepburn bill
stood:
Yeas: Morgan, Mitchell, Hawley,
Platt IN. W, Harris, Turner, Foster
(La)
Nays: Hanna, Pritchard, Willard,
Kittridge.
Senator Morgan said after the ad-
journment of the committee that he
probably would report the bill to the
Senate to morrow, but that while he
would use all due diligence in secur
ing consideration of the measure he
had had no conference with the Re-
publican leaders of the Senate as TO
when the measure should be taken
for consideration.
The Hepburn bill authorizes the
President to acquire territory for
right of way for a canal of sufficient
capacity to accommodate the largest
ships from Greytown On the Atlantic
via Lake Nicaragua to Brito on the
Pacific, under the supervision of the
Secretary of War; authorizes sur
veys of the harbors at the two ends
of the route /; guarantees the use of
the canal to vessels Of Costa RIGA
and Nicaragua and appropriates
SO, 900, 900 for beginning the work.
