NORTH CAROLINA POLITICS.
Negro Convention Amounts to Moth
inS-SmaII-Pox Situation.


RALEIGH, N. c., October s.-(special)
White Republicans here are ridiculing
the call for negro State convention. and
say the callers Of it went into a trade
two years ago. They add that they do
not believe the convention will amount
to anything.
Very few negroes are registering here.
and it appears that only a few hundred
will vote in this county. One estimate
made is that not over 10000 will vote in
the entire State.
State Chairman Simmons says that peo-
pie are comparing the audiences at po-
litical speaking this year with those
which attended two years ago, and hence
consider them small but that they are an
average. He says there may never again
be such audiences as there were two
years ago.
A letter from George Vanderbilt's farm
manager says the Biltmore farm will

products at the State Fair ever made by

Insurance Commissioner Young is great

tracking and capturing incendiaries. The
last arrest made is in Polk county. The
practice of burning property to get the
insurance is greatly checked by the gooc
detective work and the prompt and severe
punishment.

of cases No part Of the State is free
from it, and there are many cases in the

plan is abandoned.

ELA,s FAST BALL WOW.
The oIanchesters Were Slow and
I,fSfIess.


The Elks put up a fast. clean game
against Manchester yesterday afternoon.
and defeated them by the score of 10 O.
They were aided in their victory by
the listIess work OF the Manchester team.

for any snappy play
Hooker was in the box for Manches-
ter. and Fitzpatrick held down the same
position for the F:lks. Knowles. at third
made a star catch of a hot liner that
gave a little zest to the game, and B.
Hooker hit eorking triple to the fence
for Manchester. but the batters who fol-
lowed him could not bring him home.
The game yesterday was scheduled be-
tween the Brownies and Manchester. but
as the former team has retired from the
league. the Elks took their place. They
will play two games with Manchester Oh
Saturday, beginning at $50 O'Clock. and
the ball season OF the Tri-City League
will come TO an end.

 Well, well! How remarkable!' ex- claimed the Scotchman, with a rather ineredulous glance at his companion.
 T have also had some correspondence with Prof C., of university in Michi- gan,'' continued the nnetaphysician. II guess you know nothing of him.
 On the contrary, I know him quite well. There he is over near the corner of the room, the man with whiskers and gold spectacles. | This was too much of a coincidence for the Scotchman's credulity. He was plainly suspicious and inclined to be nettled

 Not at all" said Dr. Hillis T am giving you only facts.'' Very remarkable! very remarkable" exclaimed the professor. Well, sir, I 1 have had relations with one other American. I presume you know him also?" There was a note of sarcasm in the query.

 He was a minister somewhere near New York. a certain Dr. Hillis."

 Time will change all this, for Irkutsk must in sew years become a teenling center of commercial activity, with a higher civilization brought in by for elgn element. Important discoveries of gold mines have just taken place in Manchuria, the Lena province annually produces large yield of valuable mine rals, and, above all, coal has been dis covered in this neighborhood in large quantities, and is now being exported east and west, principally to the Paci- fic ports
 All these must materially benefit Irk- utsk. A good hotel here would pay fab ulous returns. At present the only res taurant is that of the grimy and yer minous Metropole, and even here the Siberian Croesus will gladly pay prices (for filthy food and worse drink) that would open the eyes of a Ritz.

FOREIGN COMMENT.
London Timos Discusses RooseveIt's
 Trust Statements.

London, Aug. 27 - The Times this morning publishes an editorial article discussing President Roosevelt's decis- ion to appeal from party wire pullers to the people on the trust question. The paper says:
 This is bold decision if President Roosevelt is ambitious of a second term, but he is shrewd as we'll as cour- ageous. We cannot, however venture to form a judgment of his chances of success against the strong forces ar rayed on the opposite side. The Amer ican people themselves have no very clear ideas on this subject, and their political prophets are all at sea in their speculations.
 Tt is interesting to observe that in Austria it is frankly assumed that MT. Roosevelt's object is to throw a pro- tecting shield over the capitalists, and that his attacks on the trusts are re- garded with suspicion by American pro- tectionists.
 ''The result of the struggle between a craving for protection and impatience of monopoly will soon be visible in the United States and MT. Roosevelt, ap- parently, will have credit for having raised a great issued with conspcuous fearlessless."
 Berlin, Aug. 26.-President Roosevelts S advocating government supervision of trusts has caused the Post of this city to discuss anew the American trust danger" It says Germany, indeed, all Europe, must be on it's guard"
