MEETING OF THE MILLERs

Especial to News and Observer.)

Especial to News and Observer.)
Greensboro, N c., July 4.-There was a
session here yesterday afternoon OF the
North Carolina Millers Association, and
the following towns were represented:
Hickory, Statesville, Lenoir Asheville,
Rural Hall, High Point, Reidsville, Lib
erty, Gulf, Fayetteville. Mount Gilead,
Greensboro, Winston and Mocksville
There were about thirty millers pres
emit, among them being President j. F.
Sheriff., of Statesville. and w. j. Shu-
ford, of Hickory, secretaries.
Captain ]. d. Mcneil, president of the
Committee on Legislation, reported the re
suit of recent legislation. The principal
bone of contention along this line was the
act to regulate the sale of concentrated
feed stuffs, which imposed tax of TWEEN
ty cents per ton on feed stuffs. The OBJ
ject of the law was to shut out short
weight feed stuffs and adulterated goods
shipped into the State, and thus to pro-
tect the North Carolina millers 1t is
found by them, however, that the tax
bears heavily upon them, and some form
of amendment to the law will be asked
of the next Legislature was decided upon
An entertaining and instructive address
was delivered by State Chemist Kilgore
Other business transacted was the selec-
ton of one man to buy grain for all the
members of the association to investigate
the reason for inferior quality and short
weight of shipments from Louisville, and
the appointment of committee to seek a
reduction of freight rates
The next meeting will be held in Green's
boro in February, 1904.

PoPL's CONDITION WORSE.
DR.. Lspponi Remains in The Vatican to Watch
Over him.
(By the Associated Press. J

Rome, July At appears that the con-
dition of the Pope became suddenly worse
after yesterdays drive in the Vatican gar
dens, when, notwithstanding the fact that
the temperature was SO degrees Fahern-
heit. he caught cold and it settled in his
chest and head, producing shortly after
wards diffuse bronchial catarrh, accom-
panied by slight cough. thirst, lassitude
and watery eyes. Fortunately, up to the
present, no fever has developed, not even
increased heat, and there has been no
acceleration OF the pulse. which is rather
weak
All the efforts Of DR.. Lapponi tend to
combat the catarrh and to prevent its
further spread, especially its development
into bronchitis or Inflammation of the
lungs.
Feeling his responsibility, DR.. Lapponi
would have liked to have consultation
with the best physicians in Rome. but
the Pope absolutely refused to agree to
this. He said he had entire confidence
III DR.. Lapponi and added that the only
other person he would allow to be called
was DR.. Mazzon, who operated on the
Pontiff in 1899. When DIR. Lapponi re-
MAJ Ou IhdO LII MdALOul Was surgeon
and that therefore his professional ser
wees were not needed, the Pope replied
1T does not matter. 1t is not for his
profession that / want him but because
l like him"
1t has therefore been decided that DR..
Mazzoni shall visit the Pope tomorrow
The condition of the Pope showed some
Improvement during the day, but His
Holiness became worse this evening, max
ing it necessary for DR.. Lapponi to re-
main at the Vatican throughout the night
in order to watch his patient, who, ac-
cording to the latest diagnosis, seems to
have an affection of the right lung.
Serious apprehension is entertained,
the Pope's advanced age, on
of his lack of physical strength
which has continually decreased since the
operation for the removal of a cyst in
March. 1899. What is especially feared is
a sudden attack of heart failure, or dy-
mamie pneumonia. He is carefully watched
and is constantly urged to abstain from
any material as well as mental work
But" the Pontiff exchmed, 'how can r.
command my brain not to work."

Railway building in the first six months
of 1903 was less active. says the Railway
Age, than in 1902, the record this year SO
far being 2,221 miles, against s,314 in the
irst half of 1902. The Ages explanation
is what calls 'the epidemic of strikes
md the S@h price of track material. =
There has Nen difficulty in getting rails.
The companies have accordingly deferred
construction in number Of cases. There
was building in So States, but the only
ones that exceeded hundred miles were
Arkansas Indian Territory, Iowa, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas
and Utah. The Southwest and South At
'antic led in mileage. Maryland is not
credited with single mile, Virginia with
but SIX and one-half miles, North Carolina
with Is and West Virginia with 20. These
figures do not include interurban electric
lines, some of which do a freight business.

Reply to Mr. McKethan.


To the Editor: think the article in
today's paper by Mr.. E. R. Mcclellan. OF
Fayetteville, is untimely and uncalled for.
and will only serve to create discord
among the enlisted men of the North
Carolina National Guard. Each officer
who attended the meeting called at Raj
eigh some months ago to consider the
Dick Militia Bill, was supposed to voice
his company in his vote, and the bill was
unanimously accepted.
Each enlisted man has the privilege of
asking for his discharge, and his con-.
mandlng officer, if like myself, will recom
mend the same when man becomes dis
satisfied, for it does no Organization anv
good to have dissatisfaction in its midst
! am not looking for any newspaper
controversy.
