ourselves to cast cur votes for any

caucus, that this was merely a trick on
the part of Addicks to have Alice elect

Union Republicans vigorously deny to-

FIRST LET HIM RESIGN

we should like to be able to say TO our
readers that John Edward Addicks has
retired from the senatorial race and
win no longer be a disturbing factor in
the future. but we cannot The sem
sational announcement of his with
drawal was qualified by clause which

when his followers in the Legislature
declare that unless the demand for q
common caucus is Immediately ac-
ceded to they viii Immediately return
to the support Of Addicks, the hollow
ness OF the scheme becomes apparent.
If Addicks really means TO withdraw,
he can put his announcement in very
brief form. It does not require the cum
ming pen of c. r. Layton Let It run
about as follows;
Il hereby withdrew from the race for
United States Senator. and ask my
friends to refrain from voting for me;
and as an evidence OF my good faith ]
hereby announce that will not accept
an election"
That would clear the atmosphere. We
say emphatically that this is a time foi
The greatest caution. We wish the con,
ditions were such that the Regular Re

Washington, Nov. 9.-To consider the
lace problem in the United States is the
object of a meeting of the National So
Geological Society composed OF represen-
tativc colored men from various sections
of the country, which began here today.
The main feature of today's session was a
paper by Bishop Lucian Hasey, of the
African Methodist Zion Church on Race
Segregation" In this paper he proposed
that the colored race be given one or more
States in which to live exclusively. He
would have the white race barred from
living in these States.
I'VE are told that the South is the
white mans land" said he. 'If it is SO
that race has been poor guardian OF the
subservient colored people. The two races
have never lived together in harmony,
and l am opinion that they never will.
Today the colored man is being crowded
out of the fields and the workshops of the
South by the white laboring man. The
co,ored labor in the South has proved the
most expensive ever tried
Bishop Halscy dwelt ON the evil results
of mixing to both races and urged this
as another point for segregation
In the discussion which followed several
members protested against Bishop Haw-
ley's scheme of the colored race meant
that tho negroes would never be eevatel
and that the entire plan was impracti-
cable.

France R~cogn zes Panama.
(By the Associated Press.


Paris, Nov. -O.-The French government
has recognized the defacto government of
the Republic of Panama.
The instructions forwarded by Foreign
Minister Delcasse to the French consul
at Panama, authorized him to have re-
lations with the new government. The
instructions arc substantially the same as
those sent from Washington to the United
States consul at Panama. and will have
the effect of giving the same recognition
of the new regime az the United States has
already given. A formal recognition will
follow later when the new government
Is fully organized, but the instructions of
the consul definitely establishes the at
tltude of France toward the new republic.
NJ. Delcasse's instructions follow the re-
ceipt of ample assurances Of the purpose
OF the new regime to carry out the OBJ
legations of Colombia, concerning the
canal concession and other French prop
erty rights. The reports of the consul
also showed that the new conditions are
apparently stable, with the scparatlsts
maintaining order and exercising undls-
puted authority.

The Case Of DR.. Jay to be Called Mex

lSpecial 10 News and Observer.l

Especial TO News and Observer.)
Asheville, n. c., Nov. 10.-Several days
ago a warrant was sworn out against
Squire A. B. Sitton, of Henderson county,
charging him with obtaining money under
false pretense and with fraud. The war
rant was sworn out before Justice of the
Peace Waddell by the Petrifled Phonom
eIion Company, otherwise known as the
owners of the "petrified man." The trial
was set for this afternoon, but neither the
petritied man nor Sitton put in an ap-
pearance. although several witnesses were
here, one of whom was ]. r. Van Ness
Of Charlotte. 1t was learned that the
sheriff of Henderson county had not
served the warrant and the case was post
poned.
Seme time ago the company bought from
Sitton for $500, what was then consid
cred a great wonder in the shape OF a
petrif1ed man. it is said that the attorney
for the company has recently discovered
evidence which proved beyond a doubt
that the thing was a fake and the COM
pany charges that Sitton knew it was n
fake when it was sold. The result is
that a criminal action has been begun
against the former owner.

But One Remedy for the Boil weevil
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. 9.-Secretary wilson,
of the Department of Agriculture, was an
early caller on the President today. He
has just returned from Texas. where he
went to make an investigation of the con-
dition of cotton and to learn the results
of the fight the planters are making
against the boil weevil.
Many of the planters are taking the ad-
vice of the Agricultural Department, and
are planting early cotton" said the Secre-
tary. practically the entire late crop
was destroyed. The weevil has ravaged
much of the best part of Texas cotton
belt AL efforts to exterminate it seem
q have been unavailing. Efforts eradi-
cate the house fly would be about as eff
cacious. The only way to meet the evil,
apparently, is to plant early cotton and
get in the crop before the weevil has op-
portunity to destroy it."
