CHINA SAVED BY u. S. NAVY.
Startling Statements of Captain Hob
son About Empires Partition.

Startling Statements of Captain Hob
son About Empires Partition.
Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson,
hero of the Merrimac, who spoke at
fremont temple, in Boston, on ''The
American Navy" made some startling
statements in regard to China, says the
New York Evening Journal
"It is my sincere belief" he said,
b. that it was the presence of the strong
United States navy in Chinese waters
that prevented the partition of China
year and two years ago. If the parti-
ton of China comes in the near future
L believe that the world viii be set on
fire. 1t is my belief that under such
circumstances the only preventive Of
worldwide war will be the presence of
a great American fleet.
China is to be opened up, and opened
up soon. The United States by it's geo.
graphical and industrial position has
the strategic vantage ground We
should be the first in this vast indus
trial upheaval. which is sure to come
with the opening up of China to the
world. We have equal rights in China
with the rest of the world, and we have
equal rights in saying that China shall
not be partitioned"

New style NIonogran,s.

The old style plain letter monogram
fs being superseded. and the woman
who would be thought artistic and up
to date in dainty trifles is using the
new monogram somewhat after the
japanese style, says the February Wo
mans Home Companion. The more
sabtle the design the better it is liked
The idea is to have something graceful
in outline, well balanced in parts and
altogether artistic, a monogram per-
fectly clear when once deciphered, but
which to the casual observer seems to
be merely a pleasing. fancifu1 sketch
or a symbol rather than a combination

Feb. 4.

1t Startles Our Northern Breth-
rem and Causes Much Comment.
The Cen US Bureau returns
show thet for the first time in
our his'o y the population of the
South has increase, as fast as m
the North. Tbs fact has occa-
81, n d a great deal Of inter est,
and the Sprineg6eld Republican
thinks it is due to the interstate
migration which is now setting
towards the South. It has been
understood for some time that
the majority of European immi-
grafton settled in the Northern
and W.stern States. For many
reasons this source of increased
population has neyer been turned
towards the South. But now,
despite this annual increment
for the North, the South is gain
ing as rapidly as the ether sections
The LyDcbburg Advance thinks
this is due to the fact that the
birth-rate in the South is pro-
portionately higher. Be this as
it may, it is sign which he who
runs may read when the South
begins to advance in population
more rapidly than other sections
of the country, and now that our
population is beginning to keep
up with our wealth and manu-.
factures the South is becoming
the promised land indeed.

Scotsmen in India are furious. The
commander in chief has approved OF
the adoption of tartans for the pipers
of the native army, a measure justly
resented by highland laddies on Indian
service, says the London Mail. 1t is
stated that the Bengal regiments will
wear the "Graham'' tartan, the Pun
jabs the Campbell" the Madras pi
pers the "Old Stewart and the Bonl-
bay men the "Urquhart." Scotsmen
contend that the kilt looks well on
them alone and that it appears rid1cu-

DIES SUDDENLY.
Jas. W. Tufts-He Will Be Sadly
Missed.

Pinehurst, N. c., Feb. 3 -
James W. Tufts died suddenl y
last night about 9 o'clock in his
apartments at the Carolina Hotel.
His physician, DR.. George Nc
Gregor, says that death was due
to heart failure, superinduc' d ny
severe attack of acute ind1g ges-
tion. The remains are now en-
route for Bedford, Mas, where
they will be interrt d IN the fam
lily vault at Oak Grove cemetery.

and several friends of the be-
reaved wife, sccompanit d the bo-
dy. They will be joined in Wash
ington. D. c., by Mr.. Leonard
Tufts, son of the deceased, and
other members Of The family.
The announct mint Of Mr..
Tufts death came with a shock
of surprise to oil who knew him,
as he had been 10 exc llent health
and spirits since his return to
Pinehearst early in January.
Here his demise is deeply mourn
ed by all. as Plnehurst is the
child of his brain, a garden which
his generosity and energy has
planted and cultivated in this
sandy wilderness. He was at the
hoar of his d ath, the sole owner
of this famous resort village, the
valuation of which is reckoned In
millions, and every detail of the
immense work of creating it,
from the first stake driven in the
original survey of the village
to the completion of he Caroliua,
the largest and fnest hotel in the
State, was done under his super
vision. Tne building, bt aut'f y
irg and improving of this village
wa, e~pecial delight and be
enjoyed the dist'nction of being
the only man in the United States
who absolutely owned a town
with winter population of pear'y
5000.
He was also president of, and
a large owner in the America
Soda Fountain Company.
His wealth is roughly estima-
ted to be between SIX and ten
millions of dollars, but notwith>
standing his great wealth and
large business interests, be was
extraordinarily affable and cour.
teous to rich and poor alike and
almost every one Of his many
hundreds OF employees WAS d
warm personal friend
Mr.. Tufts was born in Mel
rose, Mass, in 1884, and was 81
years old at his death. He leaves
a widow, one SOD, Mr.. Laonard
Tufts, one daughter, Mrs. VII.

TAX RATE Of
STATE WILL
De HIGH
MORE THAN PROBABLE THAT
TAX RATE WILL BE 'S5.4A
HIGHEST RATE ALLOWED BY
THE LEGISLATURE.

The state tax rate for the year will
probably be $5H. which is the limit al
lowed by the legislative acts. This is the
opinion given by Governor Gambler this
morning.
This is made necessary by the fact that
IN view Of the tax returns which are now
nearly complete do not show any extra
ordinary increase, and as a matter Of fact,
the increase for the year will probably be
found to be a little less than normal.
Nevertheless, IT is a hardly well rec
ognized fact that the present tax rate is
nearly $1.OO less than IT was at the be-
ginning of Governor Gamblers incum-
bency, when the rate was 1921, as against
>S5.44 last year and the same probable rate
for this year. In spite of this large de-
crease, however, more money has been
given the state university from the state
in the past four years than for so years
previously; more help has been given the
state asylum. the state schools for the
deaf and the blind, and the pension outlay
has been increased from $3.50, 600 to $SO5, 00O
The board Of tax commissioners will
shortly be called to consider the tax re-
turns and to fix the state rate for the
year. There are now but very few more
counties to be heard from, among them
Fulton county, whose returns are expec-
ted at the capitol by the middle of next
week.

Murphy G Co.'s Cotton Letter.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Aug. 10
Reports from various sources to-
day, including the chronicle, were gem
orally of a favorable character, as re-
CARDS the crop outlook. The dry goods
situation was in good shape and a most
conservative view is now entertained as
to what the cotton market is likely to
DO. Liverpool was quite satisfactory and
is making a good showing In view or the
fuller movement of new Gotten.
Exception is that the dwindling stocks,
there will be initiative for bull cam
paign In the course of a few weeks since
the report of the coming week will prob
ably show q loss in stocks from last year
in the all-kinds, the American at last
accounts being already within 1900 Of
last years figures, moreover, the price
of spots at Liverpool are now only lid
above last year, a figure which is too low,
considering the present crop uncertain
ties. After opening featureless the mar
ket went off to 4 points in spite of good
cables. Receipts estimated $500 against
$500 last year.

INDIAN SPRING MEETING
BREAKS ALL RECORDS

INDIAN SPRING, Ca, Aug. 16.-Never
in he history of this celebrated camp
meeting was the attendance and religious
fervor greater than at the meeting which
is in progress here.
Members Of the camp-meeting associa-
ton say that everything has surpassed
their fondest expectations this year.
To meet another such emergency as pre-
sented itself, they have decided to make
improvements for next years assembly.
This week they granted applications for
the erection Of ten more handsome cot
tages, and to enlarge the present hotel
on the grounds to accommodate the large
crowds that attend annually.
The attendance from a distance this
year has been the greatest ever known
here and the number Of tenters has also
eclipsed all previous assemblies and more
religious feeling has been manifested in
the services than at any previous camp
meeting.
1880 o'clock daily, and large crowds at
tend each service. which indicates that
much interest is being manifested in the
camp-meeting.
Rev. H. c. Morrison, of Louisville. KY,
who has been preaching daily at the IL
o'clock service. preached his last SER
mon Thursday morning to a large audi
ence. He is one OF the most eloquent di-
vines that has preached here in years.
DR.. +. NJ. Bonds, of Lexington, KY, will
have charge Of the services since the de-
partaTe OF DR.. Morrison.
Sunday will be no doubt the largest ses-
sion of this years assembly, as 1t will be
the closing day services of the 1902 camp
meeting, and many thousands of people
from all sections of Georgia and the south
ern states will be in attendance.
A very fine program has been arranged
for Sunday and all those who attend will
no doubt enjoy the services.
