Yearning for Mr.. Gable.

Dunlap's Saturday Night Dispatch,
Chicago, says:
"Never have democrats longed for
the coming of n Moses more ardently
than have the democrats of Chicago
and Illinois longed for the coming of
Hon. Ben. t. Cable, chairman of the
national congressional executive com
mittee, who will have his headquar-
tiers in Chicago and who is expected
to bring order out of fractional con-
fusion and inspire the democratic
rank and file with confidence and n
sense of discipline in the face of the
enemy.
Mr.. Gable is expected to arrive in
Chicago soon and until election day
VIII devote his energy and his organ
izing and executive ability to the
congressional campaign in Illinois
and the states of the west and north
west. This is the first time the demo-
Gratis have established congressional
headquarters in Chicago. having al
ways directed their work from Wash
ington. Congressman Griggs. who
is chairman of the general commit
tee, will have his office in Washing
ton and a branch bureau will also be
conducted in New York. but the ac-
tive work of the campaign will de-
vOlve upon Chairman Cable. who will
conduct the general headquarters in
this city.
1T is taken by leading democrats
to mean that the battle-ground for
the control of the lower house of the
next congress will be in Illinois and
adjoining states, where there are
many symptoms of republican revolt
against a tariff system which pro-
notes trusts and robs the consumer.
No better man than Former Congress-
man Gable could have been chosen
to direct this fight in the middle west
He was in charge of the western bu-
reau of the national democratic COM
mittee in 1892. and it was largely to
his activity and his organizing genius
that Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin
gave overwhelming democratic maj or-
titles. 1t is felt, too, that Mr.. Cables
presence in Chicago and his 'influ-
ence viii do much to allay the fac
tional strife in the local party ranks
If he can do this he should also be
able to make serious inroads upon
the republican representation in con-
gress from Illinois,

The Mission of LittIeheId.

Congressman Littlefield of Maine.
who has been chosen to formulate and
present TO the next congress the bill
TO curb the power of the trusts. has
the opportunity of his life. While a
party man. he does not adopt the
motto, Party, right or wrong" He
has opposed his party several times
in congress, does not believe the I'm
tied States should govern the people
of the Philippines without their CON
sent, and has even denounced the de
cision of the supreme court that the
constitution does not follow the flag.
Though n new member of congress.
he went to the front as n leader dur
ing his first term, position he won
by reason of his ability. sincerity
and honesty. He is conservative
man and hence no radical measure
may be expected from him. that he
will be fair, and yet just may be
gathered from his utterances about
trusts. In his several speeches in
congress on this question he has de
clared:
Il do not find it necessary to be-
come delirIous or hysterical over the
question of trusts
Assaults upon aggregations of
capital has been inflammatory, in
temperate and unstinted."
There are aggregations of capital
and corporations in this land which
are legitimate and useful
The prevailing phase of modern
business development undoubtedly
involves the aggregation of extern
sive capital
THE advantages are that the con-
sumner today, with the popularity of
development which exists, receives
and buys his goods cheaper than he
ever did before. The disadvantages
are that it eliminates individual com
petition and tends TO sink individ-
ualism in the great aggregation or
corporation.
where there is one aggregation
which might be called n "hydrahead-
ed monster there are hundreds, yes.
thousands, that are Legitimate ele-
ments of enterprise"
''It is only when it is injuriously
aggregated, it is only when it is inn
properly aggregated, when it brushes
out or seeks to crush out COMPETE

trade and commerce and Cypress the
public, that capital becomes pro-
per subject of legislation, a proper
subject of judicial attention
''To establish the line of demarca-
ton between the lawful and the I'M
lawful corporation, aggregation, or
syndicate, may well engage the at
tention of the most astute mind
I'VE all recognize the fact that
there are in this country organiza-
lions, aggregations, corporations,
trusts, that, in their operation, tend
to stife competition, tend to ma
terially and improperly injure in their
productive capacity our people and
interfere with the development of our
resources
when persons or corporations,
trusts or syndicates avail themselves
of interstate commerce, then they
subject themselves to congressional
control"
If Mr.. Littlefield brings forward a
bill that will lessen the danger from
trust monopoly, he will become the
man of the hour.

Poisoning the system.

1t is through the bowels the body
is cleansed of impurities. Constipa-
ton keeps these poisons in the sys-
tenn, causing headache, dullness and
melancholia at first, then unsightly
eruptions and finally serious illness
unless a remedy is applied. DeWitt's
Little Early Risers prevent this trou-
bic by stimulating the liver and pro-
mote easy, healthy action of the
bowels. These little pills do not act
violently, but by strengthening the
bowels enable them to perform their
own work Never gripe or distress.

An invention which is likely to rev.
olutionize the matchmaking industry
has been perfected by Swiss watch
maker named David Perret. of Marin,
near Neuchatel. 1t is a watch which
goes by electricity, and it was found
that it gained only seven-tenths of a
second in five weeks. The expert at
the observatory at Neuchatel declares
the watch to be equal in precision to
an expensive chronometer. The
watch resembles an ordinary gentle
mans lever and goes for Is years
without being rewound.

Locating smokeIess Gnns.

The English war office has many
schemes for training their soldiers,
and which are generally followed up
by practical demonstration. The lat

made such a wonderful record of
cures of such ailments as Indigestion,

1t is said in London that Lord
Kitchener's unwilIingness to be the
central figure of a big military dis
play on his return to London is quite
characteristic of the man. TO him
warfare is a business, and the spec
tacular side of it makes no appeal
whatever to his imagination. When
he came back from the Soudan after
crushing the khalifa and had received
his peerage and a grant of Sf50,000,
he was entertained at dinner by mer-
chants and business men of London.
When it came his turn to speak he
said in a single, off-hand way some
thing like this: Gentlemen, I am
very much obliged for the compIi-
mentary things that you have said
to me. You say that you are anxious
to show your good will. Very we'll.

NEW YORK GETS TT.
Secretary of Navy Says the Battle
ship Must be Constructed in the
New York Yard.

Washington, July ESecretary Moody
today after consultation with his
bureau chiefs, gave orders that m of
the battleships authorized at the last
session Of congress be constructed at
the New York navy yard. The secre-
tary was under strong pressure in this
matter. Besides New York, Norfolk
and Boston were strong competitors for
the work. The secretary found that
two years would be required to bring
the plant at the Boston yard up to a
point where it could undertake the
work and the amount authorized would
be insufficient there.
AT Norfolk, which made a better
showing than Boston in figures, prin-
cipally owning the fact that labor is
cheaper and the work could go on in
the open air all the a around, it was
discovered that the freight charges on
the raw material from the iron mills
to the navy yard were about ten per
cent. more than in the case of the New
York yard, and in a ship Weighing be-
tween 10000 and 1900 tons, this in
creased cost would be considerable.
Also in the case of Norfolk it was
feared that the demands for labor at
the navy yard would have to be met
from the private ship building works in
Virginia and the result would be to
seriously retard the progress of work
at those yards upon government ships.

There are signs of an epidemic of
thievery. Last night Mr.. Cam Tucker
left his wheel on the porch Of his resi-
dence. and his morning had TO walk.
Thieves last night broke into the
S~outhside Greensboro Hardware Com
pany's store and stole two dozen
knives. seven raz.-s and five pistols.
Yesterday afternoon Deputy Sheriff
Jordan caught Charles Alternately who
sors. etc, from Messicks Grocery Com
pany Friday night, and put hin in
Jail.
There came near being a wholesale
Jail breaking with probable murder
yesterday evening. The inmates COM
planned that they wanted an extra sup
ply OF ice. and told the jailor that they
would pay for il if he would send after,
and let them have it He
date them, but when the ice brought,
instead Of opening the cell doors. he
gave the ice through the grating slot.
He had his suspicious. This morning
an examination was made of the cells.
and in them were found OF
every description.
Professor ]. a. Holt and Mrs. Holt,
OF Oak Ridge. passed through this
morning on their way to a northern
tour, this being, as Professor Holt ex-
planned, their bridal tour after twenty
years of planning. They will visit New

fore returning. and / am sure their
thousands of friends among the old Oak

MeSSrS. B. F. Long, James III. Pou
and other attorneys for the defendants,
made a motion this morning before
United States District Judge Boyd for
Judgment in their favor in accordance
with the mandate of the supreme court
of the United States in the case of the
receivership of the Worth Manufac-
turing Company sometime ago.
The motion is resisted by Colonel
Staples, n of the attorneys for the
Bingham heirs, who brought the suit.
and his grounds for delay in passing
judgment is to give the plaintiffs time
to lodge a motion for a certiorari. and
let it be heard, in the original cause,
so that an appeal can be taken from
the circuit courts decision. The mo-
ton for judgment will be heard by
Judge Boyd tomorrow at IL o'clock.

Cumberland County Convention.

Fayetteville, N. c., July Z, 1902.
Mr.. Editor: We notice from the re-
ports of the Cumberland county con-
vention as published in some of the
state papers of yesterday, that a mis-
take was made relative to the county's
vote for associate justice.
The facts were, that Ito voting out
of 100, Judge Conno received 50 votes,
Mr.. Platt Walker 20 votes and Judge
Brown 65 votes. the convention having
voted by townships for two candidates
on each ballot.
If you consider the entire vote as
no, then each of the candidates re-
ceived a majority of the conventions
vote. If you consider the vote as a
proportionate part CT 30, then neither
candidate received a majority.
The truth of the matter is, that each
of the gentlemen named is entitled to
his proportionate part of h vote of
Cumberland county, to wit: Judge
Conner 17-A, Mr.. Walker 14-44 and
Judge Brown 1874.
The writer of the article alluded to
was in error in saying that, according
to the rules OF the convention, MeSSrs.
Conner and Walker are entitled to the
unanimous support Of the county. IN
der the rules of the county convention,
each Of the above gentlemen will re-
ceive his proportionate part OF the vote
of Cumberland county in h state con-
vention. Tours respectfully,
