Judge DeArmond made the closing
speech for the Democrats on the
Philippine question on Monday. In
summing up the much discussed
question Of Imperialism and expan-
sion:
"The Democratic party is not OPP
posed to expansion founded upeff
American principles. Expansion is
one thing; colonial empire another.
The Democratic party is anxious to
see the country expand, asexpansion
was understood by our fathers. Ex-
pansion upon the American conti-
nent, north or south, is the Demo-
cratic idea of expansion, not the
holding by subiugation of 10000
600 people 1000 miles beyond our

EXPERTS ERRORS.

Mo. Pac. bonds had been paid twice,
or charged up as paid. by the state.
On request of Governor Dockery
Auditor Allen shows that the Eek
pert got mixed on the different bond
issues. and confused the Missouri
Pacific bonds with the Southwest

commenting on the showing Govern

LOOKS BAD FOR 'KLoNDYKE.D
Another Burglary Proved on Him Was Once
Sentenced to Be Hung.

Still another case has been made out
against Charles Mclaughlin, alias "KIon-
dixie" who was caught with Miss Sam
rels watch and some stolen jewelry the
ether day. This time it was a knife that
was his undoing. 1t seems that among
several articles stolen on the night of
May 25th from the house of Mr. Nick
Deboy, Jr., on East Martin street, was a
pocket knife. The other day Mclaughlin
gave a knife to Officer Banks. Mr.. De-
boy happened to see it in Banks possess
sion, and the rest was clear. There
were two other houses robbed on the
night of May 25th, both adjoining Mr..
Deboy's, j. L. Sandiford's and H. l..
Lowry's, and it is thought that "Klon-
dixie" was the thief in these cases also.
About ten or fifteen years ago Nc
Laughlin was sentenced to be hung in
Charlotte for burglary; but some Catho-
lies became interested in his case and
got the sentence committed to life i'm
prisonment, and finally, after he had
served eight years, Governor Russell
pardoned him.

MISSING ONE FOUND.
Mrs ]. C. Beavers Who Wandered From Home,
Was Located Yesterday Evening

What looked like a very mysterious
and sad disappearance was happily clear
cd up yesterday evening, when Mrs. j.
c. Beavers, Who had been missing from
her home since Tuesday night was found
at the house of Mr.. Jim Buffalo on East
street.
MIR. and Mrs. j. c. Beavers and their
two little children live at No COZ East
Polk street. Miss Bessie Thompson lives
with them to assist Mrs. Beavers i'm the
housekeeping. Mr.. Beavers is a gauger
in the employ of the Revenue Depart
ment, and is often absent from home.
On Tuesday evening he went home, and
Miss Thompson told him she wanted to
go to her home, which is at the other
end of the city, to spend the night. Be
fore she left, Mr.. Beavers went over to
the house of Mr.. ]. w. Cole, his father
in law, to get his little daughter, who
had gone to spend the night with her
grandparents.
When Mr.. Beavers returned about
$3.50 o'clock, he could find neither Miss
Thompson nor his wife. He went after
Miss Thompson, and together they
searched all night to no avail. EARLY
yesterday 1ilOIuluS Ak1ioo 1uOlupoOh oIeiA
ed off again on another hunt. Meantime
Mr.. Beavers was nearly craZed with
grief and anxiety, for Mrs. Beavers is
subject to spells of nervousness and de-
preston, or melancholy, and did once
threaten attempt to take her life with
laudanum. To add to his alarm, a col
ored woman reported that she had heard
Mrs. Beavers say on Tuesday that she
wanted to die and wished she had some
laudanum.
Finally yesterday afternoon the police
were notified and Immediately went to
work on what clues there were Miss
Thompson's search during the day had
resulted in her suspecting that Mrs.
Beavers had wandered into the house of
Mr.. Buffalo. Thither two officers, with
Mrs. Beavers brother; repaired at once.
They found Mrs. Beavers and took her
home in a carriage. She was suffering
considerably from nervousness as a re-
suit of her wandering.
Mr. Buffalo's reasons for not taking
Mrs. Beavers home during the day was
that he feared comment if he should re-
move her in the day time.

THE STRIKE IN VIRGINIA,
A Statement Of Conditions BY Norfolk and
Western Officials.
(By the Associated Press.)

Roanoke, Va, June 1.-THE following
statement regarding the situation in the
Pocahontas coal fields was furnished the
Associated Press at noon today by the
general officers of the Norfolk and
Western Railway:
"Our advices are to the effect that there
are quite as many men at work in the
mines this morning as on yesterday,
which indicates that the force at work
is at least 20 per cent of the full num-
ber number of the men are still there
who are not participating in the strike
and large numbers have left the field
during the past two days to avoid becom-
are all expected to return to work as
soon as all the mines are in operation.
There is little or no work being done
in the Tug River field. The Thacker and
Clinch Valley fields are still working
full forces with little indication that
there will be a tie up in those districts.
1.-The stories being sent out from some
of the mining towns that quantities of
ammunition and great numbers of Win
chesters are being sent into the field are
misleading in many respects. The men
placed at the tunnels and bridges along
the railroads to guard against violence
are always armed and at the present
time they have been reinforced in num-
bers. There has been no intimidation but
the strike agitators are still doing all
they can to get the men to quit work. >"

Especial to News and Observer
Farmvine, N. c.. June 12-Governol
Charles B. Aycock addressed the flower
of Pitt yesterday on the grounds of the
public school at Farmville, on the oc-
casion Of big educational rally.
The immediate cause of the rally was
that new life might be added to the in
!erest already manifest. on the part OF
the citizens at Farmville and vicinity as
to the advisability of the establishment;
of a system of graded schools.
The services opened with prayer by
Rev. T. H. Balm, most fervid and beau
tiful invocation. The presentation
speech was made by the Rev. ID. w
Arnold, Recording Secretary of the
North Carolina Christian Missionary
Convention 1t was an eloquent intro
duction of Governor Aycock, couched in
beautiful language and filled with an
intense earnestness in behalf of educa-
tion
The Governor was in fine trim. AS he
arose there went up a shout from a
thousand throats. and as he looked into
so many faces a new light shone upon
his countenance, a new inspiration seem
ed to have taken possession of the al
ways brilliant speaker, and he proceeded
to deliver the very best educational
speech he has yet made. The effort was
well received and fire was set to burn
ing in the hearts and minds of the people
that will not expire till the desired
school system is a realization.
The Governor spent Tuesday night with
Elder Woodland. the father of Mrs. Ay-
cock, five miles out from Wilson. and
drove to Farmville, a distance of seven
teen miles yesterday morning.
In the afternoon he drove from Farm
Vile to GreenvilIe, fifteen miles distant,
where at SAT p. m. he took the train for
Kinston, where he spent the night, leav-
ing at $50 a. m. this morning for
Morehead City, where at night he ad-
dresses the Teachers Assembly
Passing Fremont on the way to Will
son the Governor stood on the rear plat
form of his ear and DOTTED his hat to
those dear people, saying as he returned
to his seat. Those are my home folks
they are all kin to me- This incident
is mentioned simply because it demon
strates the Governors great love of his
home and people.
