A Queer Police Force.

The policemen in Haiti are paid by
results. They get capitation fees for
all the arrests they make. AS they
come from the worst class Of the popu-
lation and are under no discipline, it
follows that a man is very liable to be
arrested in Haiti unless he is willing
to pay the policeman more than the
capitation fee. As this fee is only Is
cents, the price Of freedom is not pro-
hibidve. -.
If man objects to paying the fee
and says he would rather go before the
Judge the policeman soon convinces
him of the unpleasantness of arrest
with a thick club. ..@.-

Caracas, July 21.H-A messenger who ar

morning, Tuesday,
Since the last ,.spatch was sent to the

airy forces at Ciudad Bolivar and the Ven
ezuelan government army commanded by
General Gomez, has ragged madly. Block
after block was disputed, the government
troops entering he city slowly. The city
appears to have been struck by cyclone.
At s o'clock in the morning when the
inhabitants of the commercial and foreign
parts of the city, near the Alameda, saw
the advance OF the government troops,
they all abandoned their homes and sought
refuge in other parts Of the city, crossing
the streets amidst a hail of bullets and
shells Many men in trying to protect
the women fell, struck by bu..~es, in the
middle of the streets. The government
troops, however, acted with humanity, es-
pecially the .orees of General Rivas, who,
fighting hravely was the first to order the
attacking force to be mereiful. The gov
eminent troops soon after captured the
north side of the Alameda, the public
park of Ciudad Bolivar, which has been
defended by double row of barbados
Behind one of these were found more than
thirty dead soldiers lying on top OF each
other, while wounded men were seen on all
sides.
The soldiers on both sides have had no
food for two days, no ambulances are be-
ing used and the fighting still continues

Winston, IL may well be called the birth
day of agricultural improvement in North

was carried away, it scarcely seemed a
reality. Here we are. Here is Governor
Aycock, a revolution is at hand, not a
revolution OF war, but OF agricultural de-

it was written on the wall: North Caro-
lima shall be foremost in agricultural de-
yelopment.' (Applause).
IF you farmers viii resolve this day,
with your wives and daughters. that this
movement shall be productive of the
greatest results, it viii be so.
Earning is the mother of the indus
tries of civilization. tApplause) Why
shan't that keep abreast Of all the other
industries that are creeping so rapidly
around the world? Why not make North
Carolina great farming State? What Is
it that has made the other industries
great over this world? 1t is science. Then
why not let science do for the greatest Of
all arts what it has done for all the other
arts Of the world?
Where can you make it greater than

Don't let political ambition touch these

Agriculture means peace. 1t is for

NEXT to commerce, the great support

Rome, July 2t-This morning began to
first of those graudose and unique cere-
monies which follow the demise of a Pope
and, although private, it was conducted
with great pomp and was most impressive.
All the cardinals present in Rome, mum
bering twenty-nine, assembled at the apos-
tolic palace to view the remains of the
late Leo XIII and to officially pronounce
him dead.
Within the death chamber the body lay
with white veil over the face. on the
bed surrounded by Franciscan peniten-
tlarles, while outside the Noble Guard
maintained a solemn vigil. The profound
silence was only broken by the chanting
or prayers Tor the dead In to this solemn
presence came the mourning procession of
Cardlnals, who, kneeling silently prayed.
The white veil was removed from the
dead mans face, revealing the cameo
ike features of the departed Pope, rend-
cred sharper and more transparent by
death. So lfe-like was the body thas
those present half expected Leo to raise
his hand IN the familiar gesture of bless
ing.
A moment of breathless silence ensued
and then the cardinal Camerlengo taking
the aspersium. sprinkled the late Pontiff
with holy water and said in q firm voice
"GIoacchlno. THE Christian name OF
the deceased Holy Father.) When there
was no answer the same word was re-
peated three times. louder, and louder.
After which. turning to the kneeling car
dinals, the Camerlengo solemnly announce
