stantly extending. A western rail-

written reports on construction
work. For example, the progress of
the work of changing grade cross

graphed at stated periods, and the
photographs are preserved both as
record and as illustrations of

FUNNY OLD METHODS.

Ways as Strange as We
Think Our Forefathers'?
Chance for Improvement Still in Many
Things.
Perfection Has Been Reached in Many
Others.

Suppose you were OBLIGED to go to
New York. Wouldn't it seem strange to
you to get into an old fashioned, musty-
smelling, jolting stage coach? 1t was
not SO many years ago that people had
to travel that way.
Think of the Inconvenience, think of
the hardships, even, they were Obliged
to suffer: and think of the time con-
sumed. We doubt whether these ex-
periences tended to lengthen their lives.
1t is just so with hundreds of other
things. A great improvement is an

days, and then accept it as matter of
course. Now, if it is necessary to go to
some distant city, we are made as COM
Portable, if not more SO, than though we
remained right in our homes, and few
hours brings us, without fatigue, TO our
destination. There is not a man living
who would prefer the old way, after he
has experienced the delights of modern
methods.
But it is not to travel alone that i'm
provement has been made. There are
many other things much more vital to
the ultimate good of man than easier
methods of going from place to place,
and nothing, probably, will illustrate
this better than the much-talked- of
Vinol, for in Vinol we see what has for
merly been necessity, attended with
the most disagreeable features, trans
formed into what is really luxury.
In Vinol we have the elements of

AS Mr.. w. H. King of the w. II. King

chemists producing these goods, will tell
you, and as many other druggists in
town would endorse him, Vinol is the

OIL Vinol is not patent medicine !:

Just the right proportions needed of
this extract is dissolved in a delicate
table wine, and so today, in the line of
medicine, all who have found it neces-
sary to take cod liver oil, may do away
with all the disagreeable features of the
old way, discarding the horrible grease
which may be likened to the numbering
and unhealthful vehicle of travel of the
past and take instead, as Mr.. King
himself, in speaking of the matter, de-
scribed it, "the elegant and modern YES
tibuled train" of medicine, finding in
Vinol the elements so much needed to

much more rapid and efficient in the
manner that they operate, than could
have been expected in the old and cum
bersome way in which this valuable
remedy was formerly taken.

Bryan was a guest and chief speaker.
More than 100 guests attended the ban
quet, which was held prior to the public
meeting in Music, Hall. Many promi

At the conclusion of the banquet, Mr..
Bryan was introduced. He said he should
talk somewhat more freely of partisan
matters to the banquetting party than
he intended at the public meeting to
follow. In part he said
IF / formed my opinion by what I

the. conclusion that there are not many
Democrats left. 1 cannot in that way
find out what is going on among the
masses. 1t is extremely gratifying to
me to fad, by coming to you and others
that there are bands of men who are not
disheartened by defeat--men who think
more of having their party right in prin-
ciples than to be merely successful. The
Democratic party has no right to exist
except it has principles to exist for,
and no principle justifies existence of a
party unless it is a great principle. A
principle that is not great enough to die

Mr.. Bryan discussed a number of
problems under the general head of
"Civilization." He said he had studied
the subject of civilization and had be-
come deeply impressed with the thought
that the moral element in civilization is
not only important but is paramount.
If the moral obligation of government is
understood and is lived up to by individ-
uals and by generations of individuals,
he said it would be impossible for re-

Mr.. Bryan spoke at some length of the

THE WILSON HANGING.
IfIt Occurs It Will Break Record of Many
Years

Especial to News and Observer
Wilson, N. c., Jan. S.-"He amt going

which came from the lips of John Henry
Rose, when he was first informed that
Governor Aycock had declined to inter-
fere with his execution. and that Feb
ruary &c had been named as the date
for the hanging.
The crime for which Rose is to hang
occurred early last summer whc1 he
waylaid and murdered his neighbor,
Thomas Farmer, a respectable citizen,
Of Lucama, this county, his motive beipg
one of revenge because he believed Far
mer had told revenue officers that he
ran an Illicit distillery. His execution
will be the first since the civil war, per-
haps the second since the establishment
of the county forty-eight years ago,
though innumerable murders and crimes
have been committed in it's borders.
Sheriff w. d. P. Sharp has the unpleas-
ant duty of springing the trap for the
hanging placed upon him, and the exc
cutiCn will be in the county Jail on the
Goth unless there comes a word TO stop

suit of his appeal to the Supreme Court
and that Governor Aycock had named

GOVERNMENTS TAKE HAND.
Tying to Prevent Further Friction Between
the vicksburg's Men and Russian Soldiers
(By the Associated Press.


Pekin, Jan. S.--While the actual cas-
ualties during the fighting at New Chwang
between American sailors belonging to
the United States gunboat vieksburg,
which is wintering there, and Russian
soldiers attached to the garrison OF that
port are trifiing up to date, the matter
has resulted in unpleasantly strained re-
lations between the American, Russian
and British authorities there. The Wash.
ington and st. Petersburg Governments
arc now endeavoring to arrange matters
so that there may no further friction.
The trouble originated in the action Of
some sailors belonging to the British
sloop of war Algierine, also in winter
quarters at New Chwang in carrying
ashore six rifles for use in q theatrical
performance. The Russian administra-
ton sent a force ofimen to arrest the
British sailors. The Russians, however,
by mistake, broke into a reading room
where a party of the Vicksburg's men
were seated and tried to arrest them
The Americans resisted, defending Them
selves with chairs. They were over
powered after sharp fight, however
and handed over to the United States
CONSUL WHO sent JHem Oh DOdTu the VEINS
burg.
The bad feeling which arose from this
incident resulted in several fights when
ever American or British sailors met
Russian soldiers, and the latter, not be-
ing accustomed to fist fights, were usual
ly badly worsted. This condition of affairs
eliminated on New Years Day in a more
serious ARRAY, and the Russian minister
here, M. Paul Lessar. complained to
Minister Conger that two members of
the Vicksburgs crew had fired revol-
YER at an unoffending Russian soldier,
woundng him in the arm.
The memorandum preSented by the
Russian minister to the United States
minister here related to various alleged
assaults committed by Americans. On
one occasion3 it was asserted, three sail
ors attacked a sentry and owed their
lives to the sentry's forbearance in not
exercising his right to shoot The min
lister demanded that the United States
Consul try the offenders; but the COM
mander of the Vicksburg, e. B. Barry
wrote a curt refusal.
