soreheads and Republicans Of Cumberland. J

Especial to News and Observer.)
Fayetteville, N. c., Oct. 9.-In q back
room of the Central Hotel today a small
crowd OF about twenty boilers from the
Democratic party and a few Republicans
met and filled vacancies left by the Re-
lubhcans at their convention last Satur-
day. It was a sad sight to a thorough
bred Democrat to see some good mon
fooled INTO this sore-head movement. The
so-called convention was led by Mr.. Jas.
y. Mcneil, who was two years ago
elected by the Democrats to tho Senate
Of North Carolina. In the Democratic
convention, held September Eth, and
certainly it was the largest and most en-
thuslastic convention which has been held
by the Democrats of Cumberland county
since the days of reconstruction Mr..
McNeill's name was presented for nomi-
nation for Senate, and seconded by him.

Of the convention TO sustain him and give

we find Mr.. Mcneil engaged IN the un-
holy work of aiding black and tan Rad1-
calls of reconstruction and of 90 and '9S
type. Upon what principle OF

with his consent to a Democratic con-
v%ention for q nomination can explain his
conduct in running against the ticket is

Mitchell's Letter to Roosevelt.
(Bv the Associated Press.)

Washington, D. c., Oct. 9.-PreSide1t
Mitchell. of the United Mine Workers,
has refused to comply with the appeal OF
President Roosevelt to call the Strike
off. His letter to. the President. when
wa made public at the White House tc-
day, says the responsibility for the con
tinuation of the strike should be placed
upon those who have refused arbitration.
President Mitchell's letter follows:
ssWilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. s, 1902.
"Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, President OF
the United States, Washington, d. c.
s.Dear Sir: Hon. Carroll d. Wright
has, no doubt, reported to you the de-
livery of your message to me last Mon
day and my statement to him that |
should take your suggestion under ad-
yisement. although did not look upon
it with favor.
.'Sirce that time, l have consulted with
our district presidents, who concur fully
in my views.
1--WE desire to assure you again that
we feel keenly the responsibility OF our
position and the gravity of the situation,
and it would give us great pleasure TO
take any action which would bring this
coal strike to an end in a manner that
would safeguard the interests OF our
constituents.
"In proposing that there be an imme-
diate resumption of coal mining upon the
conditions we suggested in the confer
ence at the White House, we believed that
we had gone more than half way and had
met your wishes.
1T is unnecessary in this letter TO
refer to the malicious assault made upon
us in the response of the coal operators.
We feel confident that you must have
been impressed with the fairness OF our
proposition and the insincerity of those
who maligned us.
Having in mind our experience with
the coal operators in the past, we have
no reason to feel any degree OF conn
tice in the future, and inasmuch as they
have refused to accept the decision OF q
tribunal selected by you, and nasmuc1
as there is no law through which you
could enforce the findings of the com
mission you suggest, we respectfully de-
cline to advise our people to return 70
work simply upon the hope that the coal
operators might be induced or forced 10
comply with .Ae recommendations OF
your commission.
LAS stated above, we believe that we
went more than half way in our proposal
at Washington. and we do not feel that
we should be asked to make further sac
rifice.
We appreciate your solicitude for the

No commen was made concerning the

said that the President has not exhaust

1t is Impossible to exaggerate the
seriousness of the situation in the an
thracite coal field. Rioting and disor-
der prevail in all quarters and muir
ders are of daily occurrence. The sher-
ifs of number of counties have adopt
ed the last resort of calling for mill
tary assistance, but the militiamen are,
for the most part, in sympathy with
the strikers and their presence does
not have the effect it should The
protection of life and property should
be enforced at all hazards and If the
state troops are unable or unwilling to
do their full duty in this particular.
the president should lose no time in or
dering out few regiments of regulars.
It is not a question of sympathy with
the miners at this time. 1t is a ques-
ton of the enforcement Of law. The
strikers may be in the right in their
demands but they are criminally
wrong in the use of violence as a
means to the end. The minute des-
perate men of this kind become guilty
of arson and murder that minute they
forfeit the sympathy of the public,
which is q potent element in the set
t,eLaent of any great labor controversy.

PRESIDENTS MEET

Ton In New York at
Present.

New York, Sept. 25. = Although
practically no anthracite coal is being
received in this city, and the prices
continue to soar, the presidents of the
railroads at their meeting yesterday
expressed satisfaction with the results
Of the week's-work- and declared that
the outlook sfof the coming week is
brighter than at any time since the
strike began. They agree that many
men would return to work II they did
not fear violence and they assume that
the calling out of additional troops
would inspire many men with con-
fidence to resume.
One of the eerat coal companies has
made a lrge purchase of arms and am
munition in New York and has shipped
them to the collieries in Pennsylvania
intending to arm volunteers TO aid the
coal and iron police.
There is no standard retail price for
coal now. Dealers get whatever they
deem proper, but the average price for
household sizes today was $12 a ton
of 1000 pounds. The demand for coal
has enormously increased within q
week as many families have returned
to New York from the country. "A
sudden cold snap under the existing
condition is what the operators par
ticularly dread. e

CROP CONDITIONS
vests In Al Parts .ofthe
Country. A.7.-.

Following is the agricultural depart
ment's weekly summary OF crop con-
ditions;
The temperature conditions were
generally ia, orable in all districts eas,
of the Rocky Mountains, although the
end Of the week was decidedly cool
in the south Atlantic states and Mis-
sissippi Valley.
Heavy rains retarded work in Flor
ida, portions of the centraP and west
gulf states and portions of the upper
Mississippi and Missouri Valleys,
while large part of the middle and
south Atlantic states needs rain for fall
plowing and pasturage. The middle
and southern Rocky Mountain dis
tricts have received abundant and
much needed rains. The week has been
generally cool on the Pacific coast,
with rainfall slightly in excess OF the
average in portions of Oregon and
Washington. Frosts occurred in the
Rocky Mountain districts, Missouri
and upper Mississippi valleys and lake
region, but were less damaging than
those of tho. previous week. y
No further material damage by
frosts has been sustained by the corn
crop during the last week. The re-
ports Indicate. however, that previous
estimates of inquiry by the frosts OF
the 18th and 18th have been conser-
vatively stated and that large part
Of the crop over the. northern dis
tricts has been very seriously injured.
Over the southern portion OF the corn
belt an exceptionally fine crop is now
assured.
Cotton is very nearly all open and
picking has been actively carried on,
being practically completed in sections.
In Florida, Texas and portions OF Lo,,-
isiana and Mississippi rains have cans-
ed considerable damage to open cot
ton, but were OF considerable benefit
10 the late planted in Texas and Ok
lahoma. In Mississippi light top crop
may mature under favorable condi-
tiors and while new blooms are report
ed from other portions of the central
and eastern districts they win scarcely
mature.
II will require about ten days to ma
ture late tobacco in Kentucky. Else
whore cutting has been finished and
the crop is curing satisfactorily.
In Michigan. Wisconsin, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Kansas and portions of Illinois,
the reports indicate good yield of ap-
pies OF fine quality, but in the Oh 10
valley, middle Atlantic states and New
England a generally light yield is in
dicated.

The sudden termination of the pres

to the numerous cities in the middle
west included in his itinerary. In many
of thera preparations have already
been made for his reception at great
expense. But presidents are not ex-

has been terminated by an operation.
