INVESTIGATING WINDSOR FIRE
A Prominent Merchant Accused of Setting Fire

insurance Commissioner Young starter
yesterday morning for Windsor to con-
duct the examination of Mr.. C. E. Col
i1rs, prominent merchant OF that place
and Messrs. Stallngs & Harrell who have
been arrested on the charge of defraud-
ing an insurance company by setting fire
to the store of Mr.. Collins
Mr.. Collins had a general merchandise
store in Windsor. Las March thes
building caught fire and was DESTROYED.
The place was insured and 81 900 was
collected from the insurance company.
Nothing was suspected. The Insurance
Commissioner ordered an investigation,
as he does in the case of all fires, and
recently some information came into his
possession which put a new face on the
matter. Four witnesses were found who
stand ready to swear that they saw the
goods removed from the store before the
fire occurred A man named Harrell it
seems had an important part in this
work, and his evidence is expected to be
convincing.

NATHANIEL MACON'S LIFE.
Dr. William E. Dodge Soon to Issue Most
Valuable Book.

DR.. VIM e. Dodd. Professor of His
tory in Randolph Macon College, who is
writing a life of Nathaniel Macon, is in
the city looking over the files of old pa
pers and other documents in the State
Library. He expects to have the volume
ready by the first of the year.
1t will be a most valuable work, in
many respects the most valuable ever
issued concerning North Carolina. DIR.
Dodd has devoted several years to re-
search in this matter and has had access
to many letters and learne dof many in
cidents in the life of North Carolina's
greatest statesman not before published.
His book will correct errors born in
partisanship which have been handed
down in North Carolina. and which has
had the effect in some quarters of caus-
ing some people to entertain an opinion
of Mr.. Macon which far underestimate
his ability. DR.. Dodd's book will not on
ly establish Mr.. Macons primacy among
North Carolina statesmen, but will also
contain glance at the history of the
State when Mr.. Macon's word was law
in North Carolina.
No other man has lived in the State
who exercised so great and so lasting an
influence and whose career was as in
spring to all who believe in the right
and the ability of the people to govern
themselves. In a day when Federalism
and other forms of distrust IN popular
government prevailed to too largc an OK
ttent Mr.. Macon's influence in North
Carolina was never broken.

H. & B. BEERS MARKET LETTER.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer)
New Orleans, La, July 29.-Earlv I.iv-
erpool advices were disappointing, but
American cables sent there later, claiming
damage by excessive rains in Texas
caused an Improvement. Our market re-
sponded by opening about points higher,
subsequently advanced Z to points ad-
ditional on near months and 2 to on
late. Upon the assurance of the weekly
weather report, Notwithstanding it was
rather unfavorable to values, declined 6
to points. Fresh buying however, near
the close on the reaction theory caused
tirmness, making the gain of points on
August, on September, to on all
other months except July, which was
3 points lower.
The summary Of the weekly weather
report was as follows: THE northern
portion of the eastern and central dis
tiicts of the cotton belt continue to SUI
fer from drought, the effects of which
are beginning to be more seriously felt,
especially on uplands on the outside of
the drought area. In the districts named
the crop is making very favorable prog
ress, the plant being heavily fruited. Gen
eral rains in Texas were very beneficial
III western counties out they were not
needed elsewhere in the State These
rains have caused very rapid growth and
the plants are heavily fruited, but con-
siderable damage by boil weevils boil
worms and shedding are reported. Hot
and dry weather is now needed in Texas
TO permit cultivation and check ravages
by insects. Picking continues in the
southern counties and. has commenced in
the central counties that have been re-
tarded by recent rains"
1t was reported here that 800 bales of
new cotton were brought into San Anto-
mic today. Claims of considerable dam
age in Texas by excessive rains and in
sects in certain sections and the insult
ficiency of moisture in portions of the
Atlantics have had tendency to restrict
selling 1t is now feared by many that
continuance of general rains in Texas
may retard the movement of new cotton
considerably, and as the usual complaints
of deterioration are commencing to be
circulated, conservative onerators think
1t unwise to sell the new crop months
now with the existing heavy discounts.
The market, nevertheless, will be ruled
principally by daily weather conditions.

rowed the money for twelve months at
Az per cent. When we pay three of the
semi annual payments of the per cent
bonds, it will amount to $4,000 over the
100000 which We borrowed. Ii we had
issued bonds, they would have had to run
until 1910, but this note only runs until
the 18th of next March.
"But for this loan the schools and the
insane asylums would have been Grip
pied, for the interest on the debt must
be met at any cost. 1t had been reported
TO us that there were several hundred
unfortunate demented people in the jails
of the State, and as we had passed the
amendment, and pledged every child an
education, and the Legislature had made
appropriations for these purposes that
the receipts from the taxes would not al
low us to pay, we did what we thought
the State desired and borrowed this
money.
Under separate cover, l send report
of Mr. Worths which will show you that
