to overlook this recommendation. 1t is
agreeable to me and l see no reason
why l should disregard it. T. a. Wood

The decision not to appeal the case

more to do it. Il prefer TO pay the fine

than take the case to the supreme

Il am not guilty of the crime charged

ENGLISH LADY COMES TO AMER.

TAIN PEAKS.
Has Gained Reputation as a Noun.

Zealand.

VANCOUVER. B. c., June IA wo-
man mountain climber of no mean re-
nown is Miss Benham, of London, Eng
land, who is now in the Rockies prepa-
ratory to negotiating the Sea Alps OF
New Zealand. She intends to remain
in this country till she has conquered
some of the most difficult peaks of the
great range, and will sail for New Zea-
land in October
Miss Benham is one of the few of the
fair sex who has achieved reputation
more than continental as a mountain-
eer. She passed several seasons in
Switzerland and bagged many of the
Well-known peaks. She is, indeed, said
to be the equal of any male member
of the Alpine club. Since Edward
Whymper told of the glorious untried
field for mountaineers in the west OF
Canada she has been fired with an am
bition to climb these and is now en-
gagged thereon. She hopes to find in
New Zealand as virgin a field for the
cultivation of her fad as this province
affords.
Miss Benham will return to Canada
for another try at the Rockies after
she has negotiated the New Zealand
peaks. Not in lifetime could the Ca
madam mountains be wholly conquered.

Creator who never duplicates. The fe-
Yer to reach the roof of the Rockies has
been steadily spreading of late years,
until AIpinsts from many lands have
welded the ice AK and alpenstock
among the Canadian peaks" He also
recalls the story of a horse which fell
several hundred feet down Mount Vic
toria, which is II. 400 feet above sea
level. The beast rolled backward from
the hOary old monster of stone but,
strange to relate, was found Above 500
feet further down, where it had lodged

The hardy bronco was rescued little
the worse for it's dangerous experience.

Sporting Editor Statesman:
Dear Editor: -Apropos the recent
struggle for supremacy between King
and one Mickey Welsh, the writer is
anxious to PROFOUND a question. In
the first place he wishes to define fight,
fighter, and fighting.
Standard dictionary, Ca good referee)
decides To Fight is-to struggle, to in
jure, to destroy, to strike, to contend
until a decisive result be obtained. In
addition it adds Ito fight shy'-to
avoid meeting an opponent or an issue
fairly and squarely-to keep out of
sight or reach.
Fighter is defined as one who fights
a warrior, one who fights hard and
fights we'll.
Fighting, it defines as-the act of
resisting, to contend against, to strug-
gle.
The above being true, dear Editor,
how can I classify my friend Mickey"

impression that it was to be a fight,

Mickey. King was the aggressOr was
the Fighter" according to above) but
hot iyI,,, l.,
When such a so-called fighter fights,
does he fight or does he give an imi-
tation of hare and hounds?" The
morning paper says Mickey was
a clever, lightning like fighter-on the
contrary he looked to us like an A No.
1 getaway artist. for he not only kept
steen yards away from King but he
got away with $19 dollars-railroad
fare back to Seattle-cOntributed by
people present to induce him to deliver
his exhibition of clever and lightning
like fOOtWOrk."
Another query, Mr.. Editor. If this
"footWork' of mickey" be fighting,
then what would have been the result
if King had adopted the same tactics?
Would you have then called it fight
or a sufficient excuse to have COM
mitted murder of the principals?
King is a Fighter as he fights when
"fighting." But Mickey" alas. | am

see $19 laying loose in as many jeans?
He is clever-did he not dodge Kings

did he not call" the crowd for nine

Reduced Rates on Anthracite Coal.

NEW YORK, June 17.-As a result
state commerce commission, there is
reason to believe, says the Herald, that
demand will be made for a reduction
of freight rates on anthracite coal.
Should this course be adopted, it is not
believed that any recommendation will
be made by the commission to the fed
eral government for action against
the coal roads on the ground that they
had combined to restrain trade and
law.
The interstate commerce commission
is making demand for the reduction
of existing rates would act within its
powers, but the railroads. if they
choose, can refuse to make the reduc-
ton and carry the case into the courts
A reduction of rates would be of
great benefit to the individual opera
tors in the Pennsylvania anthracite
field. 1t has been their contention for
years that they We're unable to mine
coal at a profit on account of the high
freight The majority of the individu-
al operators who are still in the field
now sell their coal at the mines to the
greater companies, receiving a proper
ton of the selling price of the coal at
tideWater.

Great Strength Shown.

While the physician had Munroe on
the operating table examing the
wound he suffered extreme pain. In
order to steady him an average sized
man lay across his chest. AS an es-
peclally sharp pain shot through his
body MunrOe gave a convulsive start
and the man on his enormous chest
went flying across the operating room.
1t was but a short time prior to his
four round go with Jeffries that he left
Wallace. His friends here realize that
he is up against a mighty tough propo-
sitiOn in meeting Jeffries, but they are
certain that he will give a good account
of himself. 1t is their belief that if he
stays dozen rounds he will be the
victor for it is their opinion that his
endurance is greater than that of JEFF
fries.

The above is only one of the many
letters that we are in receipt of daily,
and surely North Carolina Sunshine
is reaching to every part of the State.
Two papers besides The Progressive
Farmer give generous space every
week and some others give a corner
occasionally. Something over two
hundred papers have a regular Sun
shine Department, embracing near
ly every State.
At the meeting of the Wisconsin
Press Association at Fon Du Lac
Wis, March is and II, the work of
the North Carolina Sunshine was
taken up, at least that part of it re-
lating to the Nye Memorial. The
president, Frank A. Noyes, stated
fully the work of Mrs. Ransier in
that line which was fully endorsed
by the Association and a very liberal
appropriation was voted to assist in
the work, and in addition to that,
several personal contributions were
sent to the president of the Nye
Memorial.
Bryan j. Price, a veteran newspa-
per man of Hudson, Wis, is looking
to the interests of the Nye Circle.
Miss Lillian Ellis, of st. Paul,
Mimi, is the president of the Nye
Circle of Minnesota.
Mrs. Ransier will spend two months
in st. Louis in the interest of Sun
shine. Nearly all the States have
their Press Association meetings in
st. Louis during the last two weeks
of May.
Some way the address of one lady
who sent twenty-five cents in stamps
to Prof. Ransier for postage on
raspberries has been mislaid. If she
will write the plants will be sent at
once. All the seeds are exhausted,
but we think that there will be many
more this fall, and we will tage
great pleasure in passing them on.
Who will send April number of
Success to headquarters? Much read
ing matter was placed during March
and we think is doing so much good.
Some of the correspondence circles
are filing rapidly. If you do not un-
dersand all about them, write to the
secretary, Hendersonville, who will
take pleasure in giving you full in
fomation. Many members are COM
ing in from the west.

RIVER ICE GORGES.
Freezing Floods In the Northeast Cause
Great Suffering and Throw Many
Out of Employment.

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. 24.-The
crest of the food swell was reached
at 4 o'clock this afternoon, when
the stage was "a feet, inches.
The forecast was the most accurate
in years and there was never more
time for preparation. AS a result
the damage here was kept down to
the minimum.
Nevertheless fully one-third of
the homes in the city were wholly
or partially inundated, and the
sharp fall in temperature. with re-
sultant formation of ice, accom-
panied by shutting off of natural
gas in the food districts, has caused
q good deal of suffering. On the
island very few streets are out of
the water and many second stories
are invaded but the residents are ac-
customed to foods and have made
arrangements accordingly. Nearly
all the mills and factories are on the
river front and the damage to them
will be the most severe. In many
instances resumption Of work will
be delayed for days or weeks, and
hundreds Of men will be temporarily
out Of employment.
