DELIGHTFUL TIME AT MOREHEAD.
Hcn. Hoke Smith Rescues a Girl From Waves
Entertainment Galores.

Morehead City, July 23.-(Special)-A
few days ago the Hon. Hoke Smith saw
a small child drop from the pier into the
sound at full tide, in all the freshness OF
ruffles and blue ribbons, etc. The only
person, as it happened, on the pier was
a nurse with an infant in her arms Her
cries soon began to attract attention, but
the distinguished gentleman from Georgia
was ahead of a score or more of young
fellows, who sped down the walk, while
the statesman, broad of shoulder and
strong of arm, plunged in and rescued the
frightened child. whose life a moment
later might have been in great peril 1t
was beautiful to see the stalwart ex-
Secretary reassuring the little one, and
leading her back to the hotel, in her
utter wreck of ruffles and ribbons. but
with no other damage except temporary
scare.
A reckless young fellow broke his col
lar bone, in turning summersalt from
a float, and there are reported to have
been, in addition to these calamities, a
score of hearts broken beyond the power
of mending, except by the skillful hand
of that master surgeon, Hymen. We
shall expect official bulletins later.
We have had some charming addition
to the prominent bellies of the Atlantic.
Among them are: Miss Louise Carr, a
superb specimen of womanhood, daugh-
ter of Mr.. L. A. Carr, of Durham; Miss
Watts, of Baltimore, a niece of Mr.. Geo.
Watts, of Durham; Miss Hal Morson of
Raleigh, and the Misses Johnson, of New
York.
The married ladies, of whom there are
large number here, are distinguishing
themselves for the continuity and ele-
gance of their entertainments. The
present week is filled to the close as
was the last
Mrs. Bruton, of Wilson, opened the
ball at 10 o'clock on Monday morning
with a charming progressive euchre
party, and handsome prizes. Two of
your own popular townswomen, Mrs.
Grimes Cowper and Mrs. Chas. McKim-
mon, held some thirty of these stately
danes in a charmed circle for two hours
this morning. Mrs. Lowe, of Wilson,
will do the honors-and all are assured
will do them well-tomorrow morning,
while Mrs. Jarvis and Mrs. Engelhard.
of Kentucky, formerly Miss Hinsdale, of
Raleigh, will be the hostesses, of enter
tainment tomorrow night. But we must
not run in advance of the hour.

NEW YORK, March 26-"There is no

formulated their demands and the opera
tors will PROBABLY meet them half way.
line announcement was made last
night upon the best authority after Sen
ator Hanna's conference with ]. Pierpont
Morgan, that the threatened trouble will
be averted, mainly through the efforts Of
the two men who were the chief factors
in settling the big strike in the presiden-
tial campaign of 1900.
Senator Hanna is one of the most
earnest advocates of arbitration and he
presented the situation from his viewpoint
with such force that Mr.. Morgan was
convinced that the operators should yield
a point.
Mr. Morgan IS in control Of some Of
the coal roads and is in position to de-
eide upon the course of action to be taken
without reference to any other coal mag
mates. He sees no particular objection to
recognizing the United Mine Workers of
America, as the union is called through
his signing of contracts with the indi-
viduals employed, especially if the present
wage scale can be maintained for another
year. He does not believe that the union
is particularly strong with the miners.
He will agree to terms that he deems
reasonable and Senator Hanna was jubi-
liant when he left him, being convinced
that the strike would be averted.
