Dayton Graham Held for the Killing of Smith

Dayton Graham Held for the Killing of Smith.
 The preliminary examination of Constable Dayton Graham Was held before Justice R. o. Johnson last Fri day at pm. Graham was repreSen ted by Thomas Flannigan and the county by Deputy District attorney Good body MT. Flannigan waived examin- ation and after some discussion regard ing the amount of bail, Mir. GOodbOdy asking that it be placed at $500 Judge Johnson held Graham to answer be- fore the grand jury with the bail fixed at the small amount of $l000.
 During the proceedings good many boquets were tossed around, but it was noticeable that none of them were rendered to Ephraim Smith. He is dead, and will probably remain so, and has no need of flowers.
 Energetic efforts are being made to trace the movements of Smith prior to the 18th of May, with the idea of definitely locating his whereabouts on that date. Those who are making the investigation feel certain that they can show that Smith was not any where near Douglas on the 10th of May. There is no change in the senti- ment of the great majority of the people of Douglas that an innocent man has been cruelty murdered. - Douglas International.

WARNING AGAINST IMPosTER
A Man Calling himself Converted Moor I'm
posing on Christian People.

To the Editor: desire TO put the pub
lie on guard against contributing to a
man calling himself Rev. Charles Maham-
med, claiming to be a converted Moor,
from Tangier, Morocco. He claims to be
collecting money to go back as a mis-
sionary to his own people. While IN our
town his conduct was not consistent, and
he made conflicting statements.
To the Baptist he was a Baptist, to the
Methodist he was Methodist, and to
the Presbyterian he was a Presbyterian.
We add a clipping from the last Central
Presbyterian, of Richmond, Va, which
explains itself:
"A man calling himself the Rev. Charles
Mohammed, Moor, and claiming to be a
missionary at Baraka, Africa under the
Presbyterian Board at New York has
been visiting in some of our churches in
Virginia and North Carolina, asking aid
for a church building at his station. In
curry has brought the following reply from
DR.. Arthur j. Brown, secretary of For
eign Missions: Eve know of no such
worker at Baraka, Africa, as Charles Mo-
manned There is no such name on our
list of missionaries or our list Of native
workers at that station We hear he
has letters from some of our ministers in
the South. We give the information we
have because there is much reason to
doubt the veracity of this man"
He is a plausible shrewd fellow He has
many letters from prominent people recon-
mending to the charitably disposed and
has about a dozen railroad and steam
boat permits made out to REV. Charles
Mohammed."
He is about 51a feet high and weighs
about 135 pounds, very dark, almost mt
latto, brown eyes, wavy hair curling at
the end an almost solid gold front tooth,
and is about q years old. The chief OF
police here would be glad to hear of his
whereabouts. w. w. ROSE.

IT RA|NED TOO MUCH
Yet There is improvement in
Crop Conditions.
Corn and Cotton in SINE Places are Grass
and Rainfall in Several Counties Has
MarShcd The Lands,

The Weekly Crop Bulletin of the North
Carolina section of the Climate and Crop
Service of the Weather Bureau for week
ending Monday, June 49, 1903, says:
THE weather during the past week was
generally cloudy with frequent rains which
though not SO excessive as last week,
kept the soil too wet over many east
ern and extreme western counties, pre-
venting farm work. In several counties
the rainfall was heavy and washed land
with considerable injury to crops The
first portion of the week was warm and
favorable for growth, but the latter por-
ton was very cool with minimum OF
AZ degrees reported at Asheville on the
morning of June 18th, so that the tenn
perature for the week as a whole was de-
pressed over degrees below the daily
normals a condition not favorable for the
rapid advance of vegetation. Farm work
has been retarded in many counties by
frequent rains and crops especially corn
and cotton, have become rather grassy !;
in others, however, the amount of mois-
ture was just sufficient to keep the soil
in good condition for work On the
whole further improvement in crop condi-
tions is apparent.
Corn has generally improved consider
ably since the rains began; early up
land corn is being hilled or laid by in
the southeast portion, while in the west
much of it has not received its first culti-
walton; some injury by worms in Iowlands
is reported Cotton is improving more
slowly, it needs higher temperatures for
bod hasr
fenced lately; but plants, though still
small show healthy appearance and
stands have improved; chopping cotton
is still underway, though all the crop is
not yet up; many fields have become very
grassy and lice are reported as injur-
ing the crop in several counties. Trans
planting tobacco is practically completed
with fairly good stands; late set plants
need cultivation, and have not yet started
into rapid growth; early set is not show
ing much Improvement the drought
caused too early maturity as expressed
by the term 'buttoning low; tobacco
worms are reported in limited sections.
Many farmers are through harvesting
wheat, but the bulk of the crop in the
west has not been cut; frequent rains
have been unfavorable for the work of
harvesting, and in some cases wheat and
other grains were beaten down by heavy
rains. Minor crops are doing well, and
gardens show much better growth. A
large crop of sweet potatoes has been set;
clover and pastures have improved. Fruit
is fairly promising in the central-cast por
ton; early peaches of the Alexander and
Triumph varieties are ripe and shipments
have haan made. carly annlpG arc Tinpn-
ing, and the amount of dropping is not
excessive. Dewberries and blackberries
are nearly ripe.

tween sweden and Norway on the subject Of
separate consulates, which ragged for eighteen
years with such intense bitterness that the two
countries were several times on the verge of
taking up arms against another. has at
length been settled by means of a compromise,
and the dual kingdoms at length working to-
gether an comparative harmony. According to
the terms of the arrangement recently effected
by King Oscar while the diplomatic repre-
sentation of the two kingdoms remains, here
tofore, united in one legation, subject to the
direction of the Minister of Foreign Affairs at
Stockholm, Norway is to have its own consuls
and consul generals, working alongside but in
dependently of their Swedish colleagues, flying
not the Swedish but the Norwegian flag, and
under the direction not of the Minister of For
eign Affairs at Stockholm but of special con-
sular department organized at Chrstiania and
subject exclusively to the Norwegian Govern
ment- The arrangement stipulates that the Nor
wegian consuls to hold severely aloof from
all diplomatic and political matters, and to con-
fine themselves exclusively to economic and
commercial questions-that is to say, purely
consular duties. The wisdom and necessity OF
having separate consuls for the two Kingdoms
will he realized when it is explained that
whereas the kingdom is devoted to free
trade the other is committed to protection and
that by virtue of the fact that the ratification
by the Norwegian Legislature is necessary to all
foreign treaties before the kingdom of Norway is
committed thereto, Norway is virtually at liberty
to conclude foreign treaties especially CONNER

1t is doubted whether King Oscar will ever re-
sumo the reins of power. Indeed, there are many
who believe that he has had for considerable
time past in view tie project of permanently
surrendering the duties of rulership to his eld-

measure confirmed by his purchase last year OF
