Cotton statistics collected through

demand Of both producer and manu-

not statistics OF crop grown in any

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 1O.-The freight

THOMAS MONDAY NIGHT.
He Made a Splendid Speech In the
Court House.

Quite a good crowd of voters gath
cred in the court house in this city
last night to hear the speech of Hon.
G. r. Thomas, Democratic candidate
for Congress from this district, who
is our present representative. Col.
Jos. E. Robinson, a member of the
Congressional Executive Committee
of the district, Maj. w. FL. Smith
and Mr.. Jno. r. Morris escorted Mr.
Thomas from the hotel to the court
house, where he was presented to the
waiting crowd by Mr.. Morris in his
always graceful style of speech,
AS Mr.. Thomas arose to speak he
was greeted with generous applause
and listened to with closest attention.
He is a distinct, deliberate aud pleas
ing speaker and is thoroughly up on
all issues Of both political parties and
furthers the arguments for the SUI
premacy of the Democratic party
with splendid ability.
The speaker made some pleasant
illusions to Goldsboro and Wayne
county. He then proceeded to.show
the importance Of the election in
volving not only the congressional
candidates but majority Of the su-
pre1l4e court, and the election of q
legislature and all county officers.
He urged the importance of full reg
istrat1on and vote, and that we make
Democratic maiOrities overWhejm-
ing.
He took up the seventh plank of
the Republican platform and placed
witnesses on the stand to show the
fusion government was not clean and
honest and economical.
AS to the charge of extravaganza
against Democracy, he showed that
the Democratic party paid fusion
debts and at the same time cared for
every interest of the State-the same
objects advocated by Republicans in
their platform-and at the same
time taxes had not increased on land
and personal property.
He was at home in discussing the
tariff and trusts, and upon the for
eign policy Of the government was
specially eloquent. He predicted
the agitation of the tariff question
and demand for reform. He de-
cIared the coal strike and Roosevelt's
attitude would give Democrats the
next national house and be the en-
tering wedge to the presidency.
The independent movement, he
said, had played out, and the duty
Of every Democrat was plain to make
our majority so large as to make it
hopeless in the future for such move
ments.

has been appointed local special
agent OF the Census office to collect
cotton-ginning stetistics for this coun-
ty, and we join the Government III
urging the ginners to give Mr.. Deans
their hearty support and CORPORA
ton, thus enabling him to make
prompt and accurate returns. We
would impress upon the ginners the
fact that this agent is a sworn officer
of the Government, and that their
reports, are forwarded as given to
him directly to the Census Office, at
Washington, without passing through
the hands of ano middlem9n. The
information given is held as strictly
confidential, and the operations. of
individual ginners are not diVulged.
Upon the Joint cooperation Of the
cotton growers, ginness, and local
agents must depend the success OF
the Census Office in this inquiry,
and its ability to render this great
service to the Southern people and
to all interested in the cotton
staple.
The Cencus Office has demonstrate
ed in three annual reports, the fact
that the ginners are the only reliable
source of information as to the vol
ume of the annual cotton crop. This
is very mplimentary to the gin
ners, who, no doubt, will feel pride
in sustaining the reputation they
have earned.
In recognition of this interest
shown by thhe ginners, and of a gen
eral demand for more frequent re-
ports through this source, Congress,
in the act creating a permanent CEN
sus office, provided Tor the collection
and publication of these statistics at
intervals during the ginning season.
For the crop Of 1902 the office will
issue three reports; the first two will
cover the quantity Of cotton ginned
up to and including October Is and
December 13, respectively; and the
final report will cover the total guam
tity ginned from the growth of
1902.
Realizing that the collection Of the
data for these reports is made at a
season when the ginners' time Is
cleatIytaxed, and appreciating the
necessity for prompt returns, the
Census Office has located, in each
county containing ten or more gin
nertz-, az agent who will visit each
slnna}y III the county and secure 4
report OF The quantity ofcotton ginn-
cd ~ to certain GATES. In undertak-
ire tne frequent and hurried reports
now sought, 1t is Of vital importance
that the returns be made with abSo-
Lutte uniformity, and that all be re-
ceived at Washington at one time
This result could not be expected
from individual requests made by
mail Of 10000 ginners, at q time
when they are engrossed in theil
Ginning work. Furthermore, the
Census ONCE must be kept advised
OF all changes il the management
and operation Of these establishment.
and secure returns from all new anc
revived plants. To accomplish suei
results, it becomes necessary for th'
Office to have local representative:
who shall be charged with the duty
of keeping in close touch with th'
ginning industry in each county ,ant
of promptly reporting the quantity
of cotton ginned.
The statistics for the October re
port will be collected during tn
week beginning with Monday, Oc
tober 20, and ginners should keel
such records as will enable them t
furnish promptly the required in
formation. These returns will b

Was Once a Prominent Priest in Mis-

Father Dominick.

Spokane, Dec. ia sensation fol-
lowed the ordaining of the Rev. Miles
Smyth into the Episcopal ministry on
Sunday morning. The preacher was
formerly a priest Of the Catholic
church. 1t has developed that he was
once known as Father Dominick Wag-
ner, and was an inmate of the Bene-
dictine monastery at Conception, Mo-,
and was prosecuted at st. Joseph,
Mo.
According to a report from st. Jo-
seph, he was prosecuted for the Sc
duction Of a. ~16-year-old girl, Maud
Steidel, whom he married and di-
vorced, and who is now a nurse in the
training school of the Sacred Heart
hospital, a local Catholic institution.
Mr.. Smyth denies the seduction
charge and says he was prosecuted
for embezzlement, and that the case
was thrown out of court. Smyth says
he is being prosecuted by the Catho-
lies because he married. The Epis-
copal clergy has ordered an investi-
cation and the entire priesthood and
clergy of this section have been
wrought up by the sensational devel-
| Opments.

Philadelphia, Dec. lS.-Five-year-
old Marion Green, upon whom Profess
sor Lorenz operated last Friday, has
had commissions and is in a dangerous
condition. The Jefferson hospital ply
sicians are not sure that the child
can survive.
The operation was performed be-
fore a small company of invited sur
geons. The child was afflicted with
c%ongenital ~dislocation of both hips.
Besides sustaining the shock of a
double operation, she was etherized
twice. Her serious condition the ply
sicians attribute to the ether rather
than the reduction of the disloca-
tions.
Little Marion was among the five
patients chosen to be operated upon
at the Thursday clinic, but after -four
had been treated DR.. Lorenz was eX:
haused.
Marion was under ether for 35 min
utes on that day. The child's parents

PLACE FOR THE G
Senator Morgan Wants to Send Him

Morgan of Alabama has a plan for
colonizing in the Philippines the ne

urged his scheme upon the president,

Speaking of the project, Senator Nor
gan says:
"The principal reason for my atti-
tude in the senate toward retaining
the Philippine islands was my belief
that those islands would afford a
home for the negroes. When l first
came to congress I introduced a reso-
luton to recognize the Congo Free
State as an Independent nation, mere
ly to afford the negroes of this coun-
try a place to which they might emf
crate when their numbers increased
to an extent that would make emigra-
ton necessary. The resolution pass
ed the senate and house, and the
colonization of the negroes in the Con-
go was well under way when the
United States acquired the Philip
pines.
'"The acquisition of that territory
opens up a new and vastly superior
country for them. The land is rich.
er, the climate better suited to them,
and there they would still be under
the flag. took the matter I'm with
Secretary Root, and wrote to Governor
General Taft for information and ideas
on the plan of colonizing the negroes
there. Both were favorably impressed

WILLIAMS FAILS TO IDENTIFY
BRIDGER ROBBERS.
POINTS OUT A new MAN
Officials Discredit Story and Won't
Arrest Tom AIber-Pinkerton
Man on Trail.

Red Lodge, Dec. 19.-Recent devel-
opments add more mystery than ever
to the identity of two men who per-
petrated the daylight holdup of the
St~ockgrowers' bank at Bridger. At
the request of Pinkerton Detective
H. C. Aiken of Seattle, H. c. Williams,
who with Cachier Trumbo, was made
to stand with his face to the wall
while the bank vas looted, came from
his home at Fairview, near Bridger,
to substantiate Trumbo's identification
of Jess Linley and Lonesome Joe"
Wallace, who are in Jail here charged
with the crime. Williams caused a
sensation today by fatty contradicting
Trumbo as to Linley and also declar-
ing his belief that Wallace is the
wrong man. To further complicate
Ter B. E. Vail of the Carbon County
bank, who is intensely interested in
the case, and declared he had just
seer on the street the man who point
ed the gun at him in the Bridger bank
and volunteered to point this man
out to n man Vail would send with
him.
Acting City Marshal McAllister was
designated and Williams indicated to
him Tommy Alreb, a cowpuncher out
of a job, who has been hanging about
the Red Lodge saloons of late. The
officials of the three banks here place
little credence in Williams story and
consequently Alreb was. not arrested,
and it is declared he will not be.
One bank official said today he had
learned beyond doubt that Williams
had been approached by a we'll known
resident of the county and had been
offered money if he would refuse to
identify the men whom the officers
now believe are guilty. Alreb is a
brother-in-laW of John Henry of Red
Lodge creek, n of the most promi
nent ranchers of the county. AIreb
as soon as he heard of Williams as
s%ertion, went straight to Cashier Vail,
and laughed the accusation to scorn
In the meanwhile Detective Aiker
is on a still hunt for missing links
in the chain of evidence being forged
about the prisoners.
He is the employ OF the American
Bankers association. Aiken first tool
up the investigation at Bridger. Their
he came here, ~~conversed with the
prisoners and interview the bank of
ficials. Now he is at work in Rosebud
county, where the men were arrested
The fact that puzzles the officers
most is the absolute disappearance O.
the horses the men had nearly ridde1
to death while being pursued. Thu

ley down to a confession that he once
served a year in the p~enitentiary o
North Dakota for horsestealing.
