The Dog was .Loaded."

A dispatch from Raleigh, n. c..
says: T. NJ. PearsaI, private secre-
tary to Gov. Aycock, who has just
returned from the northwestern part
of the state, where he was sent tC
inspect the Wilkesboro-J Jefferson turn
nike. one of the finest highways in
the United States, tells a very re-
markable story of an occurrence dur
ing his trip.
Mr.. Robertson. editor of the Wilkes
boro Hustler. owned a half grown
setter dog, which he was training tc
retrieve. The dog was very fond OF
bringing objects from the water. His
owner was on the bank at a deer
pool when some men came up, and
one of them threw a dynamite cart
ridge into the pool in order to kill the
fish.
AS the cartridge was thrown the
dog dashed after it and to the hor-
ror of the editor, came out with the
cartridge in his mouth, the fuse be-
ing tolerably long. The men fed and
SO did the owner of the dog, the dog
following the latter. Frightened al
most to death, the editor rushed to-
ward a deep ditch fortunately quite
wide. and leaped across this, contin-
uing to run for fully half a mile. AT
the moment the dog reached the bank
of the ditch the cartridge exploded
literally tearing him to pieces.
| Mr.. Pearsal says there is much talk
about this occurrence, which is de-
rtared to have been the strangest
that ever happened in that section OF
the state. Only the ditch saved the
life of the editor. he says.

Wall street is discharging clerks and
other employees by the hundreds be-
cause there is nothing for them 10 dc.
in the midst of d condition Of affairs
like this the freight handlers Of the
New York. New Haven and Hartford
road gave Up their places-places which
some Of them had held twenty years
or more.
They didn't want to give them up, but
their smart president ordered them TO
strike and they obeyed. And now they
wish they hadn't acted SO rashly. They
want their places back and they can
not get them. The places are filled and
the company win not discharge the
new men to make places for the old
ones-will not take back the old men
as a union. The chances are it viii be
many a day before the strikers viii get
as good places again. And all Of this
trouble could have been avoided if the
president Of the organization had been
gifted with a little business sense. If
there We're more labor leaders like the
late P. NJ Arthur, chief Of the Loco
motive Engineers. there would be very
few strikes and workingmen would
fare much better than they do.

RAILROADS RETRENCHING.

The announcement made day or
two ago that the Pennsylvania Rail-
road had decided to dispense with the
services of 1000 men has been the
subject of a great deal of comment
On all sides there is an inquiry as TO
whether there is a falling off in bust
ness to Justify such a sweeping re-
duction in the force of that railroad
and, if so, If there is the same con7i-
ton of affairs in respect to other roads
AS far as can be gathered. it seems
that most of the roads have been re-
ducing their forces for several months.
They say there is a noticeable falling
off in business, and that while they do
not apprehend such a decline in the
volume Of business as will nrevan+
them from continuing dividends they
feel they will have to stop making i'm
provements upon the scale they have
been making them during the last four
or five years.
There is some speculation as to the
effect the presidential campaign is 60
ing to have on business. The impress
sion seems to be that it is not 60
ing to be as depressing as il has been
in some campaigns. though the feeling
Of doubt as to what the political com
piexion Of the next administration will
be. will, no doubt, have the effect of
reducing the volume Of business in
many lines. If the Pennsylvania Rail-
road has decided to dispense with the
services of 1000 men no doubt many
thousands will be discharged by other
roads. That being the case. there is
a pretty fair prospect that the army
of the unemployed will be large before
the close of the year.
Here in the South there are no signs
as yet of depression. Railroad earn
ings hold up well. About all of the
roads show larger earnings than last
year. This doubtless is owing to the
high price obtained for cotton. The
farmers have money and are spending
it for supplies. The cotton farmers are
cultivating larger areas than they did
last year, and, consequently, they have
to have more supplies.
II the crop planted this year should
be up to the average in yield per acre.
and the price OF cotton should be II.
or even 10, cents a pound, there would
be no reason for business depression
in this section of the country. Be

THE greatest scare ever got was
once in my boyhood days, when l
was put astride a horse and told to
hurry to town, three miles away, and
buy a quart bottle of whisky, which
was to save the life of my brother,
who had been bitten by a rattlesnake,"
said Mr. J. K. Kennedy of Indiana,
according to the Washington Post.
Il never let the horse get out of a
hard gallOp all the way TO town, where
/ secured the precious stuff that was
to save the life of my playmate. 1

be too late, and on the return trip
when about half the way home, in

when that bottle hit the horses hip

the ground. if ever despair seized hold
OF a boy. il had me in its grip. l
almost felt like committing suicide.
But recovering my nerve, I turned the
head of the animal and. revisiting the
town, got a second bottle, which l
took to the house in safety. This was
poured into my poor brother as fast as
he could swallow ii, but owing to the
delay the poison had great start
and the whisky had no effect on him
whatever Then my father, mounting
a fresh horse. went away on the same
errand. BY this time he was awfully
swollen and it did not look as though
he could survive. The treatment was
continued on my fathers return, and
the contents of bottle No. finally did
its work, and the lads life was saved,
after it seemed an almost hopeless
chance that the poison could be coun-

ISIT CAMPAIGN sTORYs

Washington dispatches say that Mrs.
/ Phoebe Hearst. the mother Of William
Randolph Hearst. has notified the pres
4 idert Of the kindergarten College in
| that city that, owing TO d shrinkage in
her income, she is no longer able to
assist that institution. II seems that
she has been giving it $4,000 a year
which was the largest part of its in
come. According to the report the in
stitution was founded by Mrs. Hearst.
who is a very charitable woman, and
has been almost wholly supported by
her And she has, in addition to this
charity, contributed annually a large
amount 10 other charities.
Of course this report has put in cir
culation others, one of which is that
Mr. Hearst borrowed from his mother
10000 900 for expenses in his campaign
for the Democratic nomination for
President. In connection with this re-
port is the statement that Mr. Hearst
has spent all he borrowed from his
mother and very large amount which
y
reported as saying that he doesn't ex-
pect to get the nomination, but that he
is still hopeful of preventing Judge
Parker from getting it.
The foregoing reports and statements
may contain some truth. but it is
doubtful if they contain much. Mrs.
Hearst may have Withdrawn her sup
port from the Washington kindergar-
ten school, but for reason other than
that given. 1t has been stated in the
public prints that the Hearst estate
had a value of $40, 600 900 or $50, 900, 600.
Assuming that that statement is cor
rect the loss of 81. OO0, 600 would not be
a serious one.
And, then. why should Mr.. Hearst be
so determined to prevent Judge Parker
from being nominated? He has no oc-
casion to regard him with feelings of
bitterness. Judge Parker has said
nothing unkind about him, and he has
said nothing unkind of Judge Parker
in his newspapers.
It is probable that all there is true
III the w aShlngton dispatches about
the Hearsts is that which relates to
Mrs. Hearsts withdrawal Of her an
nual donation for the support of the
kindergarten school. 1t is probably
not true that the withdrawal was due
to shrinksge in her income.
There is no doubt, of course. that Mr..
Hearst has spent great deal of money
in trying to get the Democratic nomi-
nation for President, but it is doubtful
If he has impaired the fortune of his
mother. Indeed, it is a question wheth-
er or not he has spent 50, coo, 600 in his
efforts to get presidential nomination.
But there is one thing that is certain.
and that is that he has no prospect of
getting the nomination.

TAMMANY GETTING IN LINE.

! The Herald Of New York is authority

! Tammany leader, had decided to cease
his opposition ito the candidacy OF
Judge Parker. That paper says that
/ James Shevlin, the Brooklyn Demo-
I cratic leader, stated that within the

nation Of JSdge Parker.
Il seems from what Mr.. ShevIn says,
and from what is gathered from other
quarters, that there Is very. general
sentiment in Tlmmany in favor Of
Judge Parker, and there has been
much dissatisfaction in that organiza-
tion with Mr.. Murphy for taking a

Bryan was reported as saying that the

CORTELYOU THE MAN.

There doesn't seem to be any rea-
son for doubling that the President
/ has made up his mind that he wants
Secretary Cortelyou for his campaign
manager-that Is. for chairman Of the
Republican National Committee. From
/ the Presidents point Of view, there are
( several advantages in having Mr.. Cor
/ teiyou at the head of the committee
! One is that he would let the President
have his own way in all matters per
tanning to the campaign He would
feel he was under great obligations TO
| the President. and that. perhaps, he
had been chosen because of the belief
that he would not object to letting the
President manage his own campaign.
Another is that Mr.. Cortelyou
| wouldn't use the position for the ad-
vancement of his own political for
tunes. He would have no axes to
grind. Hence, he wouldn't make any
promises that would be embarrassing
to his chief. in the event of the sue
cess of his party. 1t is said that Mr..
Henna, when he was chairman of the
SN4A4AAA-NtCV' lAidNE ~ Olil4SES A4laI ~ w Gu
to be exceedingly embarrassing to
President Mckinley.
OF course, we do not mean to say
that Mr. Cortelyou wouldn't make a
good campaign manager. The chances
are he would. He has ability and wide
acquaintance with the leading men of
the Republican party. And he has
youth and strength In fact he is
very well equipped for the job in every
respect.
Naturally the senator's who have
been mentioned in connection with the
Craftsmanship of the committee feel
somewhat aggrieved al the prospective
loss of the coveted place. II is init
mated that Senator Penrose was ex-
pecting to get it, and was anxious for
1t, as it would help him to become
Pennsylvania political boss. Evil
IDENTIFY. however, the President hasn't
quite as much confidence in him as he
has in Mr.. Cortelyou.
Now if the Democrats should also Sc
lect a young man as chairman of their
Campaign Committee the campaign
might be made one of the liveliest in
the history of the country.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Baltimore Sun (Den1.) says: The
South Carolina court that sent the
negro ex-congressman, George W. Muir
ray, TO the penitentiary for forgery
struck a blow at the contested cleo
tion business, at which Murray has
made fortune"
The indianapolis News (Dem) says:
Republican leaders are divided over
the question of Cortelyou's ability to
run a national campaign. Some of
them think he is a genuine mush-
room. while others fear that if eaten
he would prove a toadstool. The only
way to settle the matter is 20 try him. -
The Charleston Post (Dem.) says:
The dispensary was openly assailed
in the State Convention last week as
a vicious political machine and none
arose to its defense. But, as the propo-
sition on which the attack was based
was to bring the dispensary more spe-
cifcally into politics. by putting the
dispensers into nomination before the
primary, perhaps il was not thought
necessary to meet the seemingly ap-
proved charge. Still it is very inter
esting TO find the great moral institu-
ton recognized for what II is, and we
may yet see 1t properly brought to
