Reasonable Rivalry.

ital alta tched to it, is a comm endable
feature in any community. The ex-
penses of loyalty and exercise of ener-
gy ard ability, is a duty incumbent
upon all; but when the effort to build
up by destruction or detraction of RI
val is the method put forth, it is bad
evidence Of low order of intelligence
and a contemplate spirit which In the
end brings about the ruin, not of the
competitor but OF the noisy denuncia-
ter. Within short distance of each
other are three health resorts, which
ought to be on the best of terms but
are not, and If it were not for the in
jury wrought to what such course
is expected to foster, il would be anus
ing to the visitor, who sees the envious
policy Of cutting off their noses to
to spite their faces
Perhaps all who are reasonable, will
agree that as health resorts Pinehurst
Southern Pines and Pinebluff are
equally blessed with the health giving
letre nts of air and water. all three
sllave about the same distances between
4 the individual pine trees, and enjoy
/. the resinous atmosphere, and the same
generous distribution of ozone.
Pinehurst is distinctly fashion
able resort for people Of large means
who need rest after excessive work or
social dissipation. It is not place
for comsumptives.; for them it is too
lively too noisy. To feel compelled to
dress several times day to keep in
the social swim, is for many bore,
but for others delight and it is Ger
tainly charming to see interesting
beautiful women and smart men doing
their city stunts in more excellent air
than the chill disease fostering atmos-
phere Of their northern homes. They
are happy in the pleasures that the
management of Pinehurst furnishes,
and it would be pity if the large per
centage of our well-to-do population
could not have such a resort as this.
So there is no need Of any jealousy
here Now we come to Southern Pines.
Pretty in its advanced adornment, ex-
cellent buildings and tidy streets.
Here we have location equal to any,
together with the superior accommo-
dation of the Southern Pines Hotel,
and further out the beautifully located
Piney Woods Inn, when without the
hustle Of Pinehurst, the people OF
large means can find what will be
agreeable to esthetic taste, and in the
jefferson Inn can be found a less pre-
tentions and more economical hosiery
lacking in no essential to comfortable
living, added to these are the SAM
tariums where sick people can have
excellent treatment and nursing for
the variety Of troubles that our
strenuous nation is being affected
with, and added to these are tasteful
private residences where guests are
taken. Excellent stores, and such
advantages Of civilization as
telephones and telegraphs
keep the visitor in touch with friends,
and there is a starting interest in the
enjoyment Of the younger element;

DRIVING OUT YELLOW JACK.
Prospect That Mexico, Like Cuba, VIM Re
Free From the Disease Next Year.

New ORLEANS. Oct 7.-Prof George
Boyer OF Tulane University, an acting
sur geon In the United States Public Health
and Marine Hospital Service and q men,
ber Of the Yellow Fever Commission sent
to Mexico to study the source and progress
Of the disease, has returned to New Orleans,
after an absence Of five months.
He speaks highly of the measures taken
BY President Diaz and the Federal Gov
ernment Of Mexico to fight yellow fever
in the Vera Cruz district. As result Of
their activity, when Prof. Boyer left Vera
Cruz, in the first week Of October, only FIVE
cases OF fever were reported in the city.
President Diaz is most desious OF rid
ding the country Of the disease, and will
undoubtedly carry on a vigorous cani-
paign this winter to that end, to destroy
completely the seeds Of the fever in Vera
Cruz and other infected centres. Prof.
Boyer believes that Mexico. like Cuba. will be
entirely free from yellow fever by 1904. and
this will mean the practical determination
of the malady in the Gulf OF Mexico.

Most OF the Plantations Have Made Money
This Year.
HONOLULU, Oct. THE Hawaiian sugar
crop for the year is approximately 10000
tons. Nearly the entire crop has now been
started to market, and the remainder will
be sent next week on the ship Erskine M.
Phelps. The Dirigo sailed Saturday for
Delaware breakwater with 5000 tons OF
sugar. taking the last big cargo OF the
eeason.
This years crop is the largest in the his
tory Of the islands, although the profit to
the planters In smaller than it was in 1901.
The average price received for the sugar
this year was SIS a ton. and the planters
received something over S30,0OO.O 900. As .
general rule, the planters are satisfied I.
although the increase in the price did not
come until more than half OF the sugar had
been sold in the New York market. The
output this year was more than twice what
LIS was in the season Of 1900, showing the
wonderful progress since annexation.
Although last year very few OF the planta-
tions paid dividends the returns this year
will be sufficient to put the majority OF the
sugar estates on paying basis: On Oahu
nearly all of the plantations have made
money this year, and on the other islands
the corporations have been doing well
Some Of the plantations are paying as high
as "a per cent. annually.

YEAR AND A HALF TO BUILD
NEW ROCK ISLAND SHOPS

Albert ]. Goldschmidt, formerly of
Davenport, has been secured by the
Rock Island as consulting engineer
for the construction of the Pleasant
Valley shops. He win have charge of
the preparation of the plans, the
oversight of the erection of the build
ings and the installing of the equip
ment. The total outlay for buildings it
is estimated will be in the neighbor-
hood of $SOO,OOO, and it is thought
that 4 year and half will be requir-
ed to finish the entire plant and have
it in working order.
Some difficulty has been experience
ed in getting local labor to do the
grading that has been begun and the
contractors announce that they will
not longer attempt to secure men
from this vicinity, but will proceed to
import Austrians, who will live at
the camp and be on hand when want
ed.
1t is said that the Rock Island Off
cials have decided against giving the
new town that viii be created any
name with two capital letters, and
some of them, including Col. Thomas
II. Brown. who made the purchases
of the land used for the site, favor
naming the place Vulcan.

nell, of this city, and Miss Bryan, a
belle of Lexington, Ky, were married.
Two years later, with the outbreak of

lucky. Gunnen entered the Union
army. Neither heard of the other un-
til month ago, both lie the meantime
having married again, and lost their
companions by death.
This week Gunnell met his former
wife. The old love was rekindled, sec
tiOnal strife forgotten, and the remar-

Greensburg, Ind, by the same minis
ter who first married them forty-five
years ago. They are now at home to
friends in this city.

here of riot at Gracy, in which five
strikers were wounded. 1t appears
that n band of strikers walked from
Fort Bragg to Gracy Tuesday morn
ing with the intention of inducing the
men working in the Union Lumber
company's logging camp to quit. They
were met by guards and were ordered
not to approach the camp.
The strikers. it is said, fired on the
guards. The guards, armed withshot-
guns loaded with buckshot, returned
the fire with damaging results. The
battle was kept up several minutes.
1t is reported that most of the strik-
ers who participated in the fight are
leaving town to avoid arrest.

committees of the brOtherhOOds, were
fullyauthorized both by reason of their
official relation to their members and
also by direct written authority to
represent them in the effort to secure
higher wages and changed conditions
of service.
THAT the proposed strike, instead
of being officiously ordered by de
PENDANTS, was result of the vote of
the employees, acting without coercion
and directly authorizing the same.
THAT the charge of conspiracy TO in
terfere with the interstate commerce
of the United States of the mail serv-
ice of the United States is not sus-
tained."
1.-The gist OF the conspiracy coming
within the jurisdiction of the feder-
al courts. as charged in the bill" said
Judge Adams, was to precipitate a
strike undesired by the men. and
thereby. and by other means specifical-
ly charged in the bill, to interfere with
interstate commerce and the mail
service of the United States. Upon
the showing made that the first step
of the conspiracy - the ordering of
such strike - was contemplated by
the defendants and that irreparabIe
damage would befall the railroad un-
less Il restraining order was issued
forthwith, the same was done for the
purpose of holding the proeprty and
the parties -, statu quo until both
sides could be heard fully on the mo-
ton to set aside or modify the or
DER
The judge says further that the
gravamen of the charge made by the
railway was that the defendants had
entered an unlawful and malicious
conspiracy 10 secure recognition of
their brotherhoods by falsely represent
ing that the employees of the railroad
who We're members of the brother
hoods were dissatisfied with their
wages and conditions of service, when
they were, in fact, entirely satisfied
and contented with the same, and that
defendants were about to exercise
their powers as supreme and control
ling officers of the brotherhOods of fire
men and trsinmen to force an undO-
sired strike upon the men who were
members Of their orga nization
All these things, the judge says. the
plaintiff failed to prove.
