know and are capable of enforcing the law for the benefit of the laborer as well as his employer"
 Judge Reese Blizzard of Parkersburg. W. Va, representing the Fairmount Coal Company, the C1arksburg Fuel Company and practically all the mining companies of the upper Monongahela Valley of West Virginia. and general counsel for the combined interests of the Wabash Railroad Company, in that State, followed Mir. Davenport with a vivid picture of crime and anarchy that reign ed in his section during the mining troubles there few years ago. He said he could furnish to the Committee the testimony of an eye witness to many or the transactions that occurred during those troublous times, and he vigorous ly assailed Mir. Gompers for his criti- cism of the action taken by Judge Jack son of the United States District Court and Judge ';off, of the United States Court of Appeals when the strike lltiga- tion reached their respective courts on the writs of injunction and the contempt proceedings that followed. He argued against the enactment of the bill into law. and said that 1t sought to create right that had never before existed in the history of civilization, and could only be desired by those who might want to violate the law of the land.
 Some mcrriment was injected into the otherwise rather somber proceedings by Judge Blizzard's inadvertently addressing the committee as gentlemen of the jury" for which he apologized by say ing that 1t was not so much of a mistake after all, as the committee might well be likened to a jury of the American people. to which Representative Littlefield replied that he hoped such a proposition might not be taken as any reflection on the jury.
 Judge Blizzard concluded by arguing that Congress nor any other body of men should insert their hands into the web of society and pass a law to hamper and interfere with the strong a m of the Chancellor under the equity power of our federal courts to assert and enforce the preservation of the fundamental doctrine of law that personal or property rights should not be violated and he asked that the committee refuse to report the bill.
 Charles l.. Eiditz representing the Building Trades Employers Association of New York City, Judge H. l.. Bond Jr., of Baltimore. representing the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. Congress- man H. M. Hogg of Colorado. and Lewis Harding of New York City. representing some thirty employers associations all addressed the committee at some length vigorously protesting against the pas- sage of the bill.

shame. But (to speak fair) if the right hand had known of some of the deeds of the left hand it would have blushed. Oh, they were a good pair of hands. those hands of the multi-millionaire! {! Ever faithful to his material interests had they been, but now he was afraid that his chance of heaven would be meagre if they did not together act as almoners --of course, with proper barker be- fore them to trumpet forth their good deeds to an admiring world.
 So Jabez Holtite sent for a reporter and said to him: What is the best way to let the world know that I am not mere ly an acquirer of wealth, but that all my money getting has had but one ob- feet, the final giving away of all my goods to the poor?"
 The reporter said: You might adver- fise on our financial page to this effect: s'Jabez Holtite, millionaire. wishes to di- vide his wealth among the really deserv- ing. Address him at the Postofice, nam Ing amount desired and giving your oath to requite him by spreading abroad the

THE CITY OF SEOUL.
Where Russia and Japan Seek Su.
 premacy.

Outing
 Seoul. the capital of Chosen. is built amid a network of hills eighteen miles city, fortified in the strongest way by smells that would drive any but an Asilt- ic army forthwith into the ocean. It is poor in appearance, but rich in fieas. On autumn nights tigers frequently contest the right of Way with belated pedestrians. and this Is the chief reason why one has the entire street to ones self In a moon- light stroll after 8 o'clock. Metaphori- cally, one can scarcely see the town for the bald, bulbous and bullet headed Bud- dhist priests who fatten on the super- stitioon of the popuace and lead icen- tious lives in the adjacent monastries Barring an occasional court injunction marked by street processions, Seoul IS triumphantly devoid of sights interesting to a traveller. The streets lack entirely those picturesque characteristics of a Chinese or Japanese thoroughfare, and a vista across the Corean housetops is one of appalling monotony. One seeks in vain for attractive souvenirs. In the small shops of Seoul. Japanese beer, matches. cigarettes and cheap crockery form the chief stock in trade, while long stemmed Corean pipes and metal banded COTedn hHlNSS are OHeTeQ, III IHe uuTc pretentious shops. Here likewise, can be had the really unique Corean fans, made of silk or paper, finished in oil and covered with curious native designs These fans are dipped fin water before they are used, and the little breeze pro- duced by them is astonishingIy cool.
 The wall surrounded Seoul, from which kites are ever flying. Is but pocket edi-
 ton of the great Chinese wall that leads down to the sea at Shanhaikwan. Pierc- ing this Corean copy are the city gates picturesque passageways-which are promptly and irrevocably closed with the setting of the sun. The west gate will be entered by the tourist on reaching the capital from Chemulpo. and should he come to the outside of this but a minute after the sun has disappeared behind the horizon and the "big bell" has boomed its mournful warning note. he Is elected to canp in the open until Phoebus has cycled round the world on the equatorial path. If he reach the gate five minutes before 1t closes on its grooming hinges hc will witness a sight that will almost re- pay him for the toilsome trip up from the coast.

proper consciences, and he felt that it was well worth giving when the gate re- ceipts were so large.
 He came to think that 1t would have been better for him If he had begun to give sooner in life, and his mouth grew less hard solely from the hlSnan feel ings that surged up in his heart every time he handed the check for thou sand dollars and realized that the Gar den was packed at a dollar per.
 At the end of the week he had given away S5O,OOO and had taken in -$5OO,OOO' and then, to show that his regeneration was genuine, he hired the Garden for another week and doubled the price or admission, doubling also his gift.
 And to show that he was no ingrate he gave the reporter a season pass and allowed him to interview him every day. And at times he could hear his own heart beat, and then he knew that he had become generous. And his reputation as a cheerful giver was almost as great at the end of the second week as ms former reputation for meanness.

page to it because 1t will be in the na- ture of absolutely startling news. You have never given a cent to any one in your life, as I understand it?" Never, unless I was sure that would get two cents in return" said Jabez, with proud smile.
 Then I suggest that you give your money to some institution that Is already heavily endowed and that will thus be worthy of your unexampled generosity And the reporter named such an institu- ton.
 Then he took down in great detail all the facts in the life of Jabez as seen by the millionaire himself. getting there by picture of the man that no one else in the wide world would have painted, and worth at least six columns to the reporter, who had 1t all for the mere taking it down in shorthand.
 The reporter was of a grateful dispos- tion and, knowing that this interview would spell success for him, he wished to make a return to Jabez and being not only grateful but also waggl=h, the form

of his return was as follows:

of his return was as follows:

 Go on." said Jabez, q am listening"
 My idea bs,'' said, the reporter, and I hope you will take my frankness in the proper spirit, that the public would as soon believe that Roosevelt was a fig ure-head or that William of Germany was puppet as that you, Jabez Holtite, would actually give away money, and I think there are thousands in this great city who would gladly give a dollar apiece to see you in the act"
 "Ah, they know I am wonder as an acquisitor," said Jabez, mentally hugging himself.
 Sure" said the reporter Now, why not hire Madison Square Garden,l erect a platform in the middle of the arena and give away a thousand dollars every hour on the stroke of the clock? You might also give them a fifteen minute talk on how to become a millionaire on a capital of two cents and an atrophied conscience. You catch my point?"
 Why, certainly said Jabez. Young man, you have a brilliant future"
 The whole world knows the result Madison Square Garden was crowded every hour at a dollar a head.
 And every hour, at the stroke of the clock, Jabez Holtite gave to well known and influential institutions a thousand dollars and a fifteen minute talk worth a thousand more to persons with the

BY CHARLES BAYFIELD, LOOMS.


 Tn the fiftieth year of the life of Jabez Hoitite. the multi-millionaire, the thought came to him that it might be good for his soul if he gave away in charity some of the money that he had reached out and picked up right and left since his e'pickers and stealers'' had been strong enough to clutch.
 Jabez had never touched churches by his presence and he did not know that there is an injunction that you let not your left hand know what your right hand doeth.
 And yet in acquiring his wealth it must Dc said that he had unwittingly carried out the spirit of that precept, for many qf the doings of his right hand were of so questionable a nature that he had kept his left hand in darkness for very

Two Tar Heels in Trouble.

Two North Carolinians became in
volved in trouble in Norfolk Saturday.
Robert Lee, of Columbia, n. c., was
arrested on the charge of having
counterfeit money in his possession.
Lee was arrested at a Lamberts Point
boarding house and was found to have
in his possession some nineteen or
twenty spurious dollar and half dol
lar coins. He said he did not make
them himself but declined to tell
from whom he got them. The Federal
authorities believe Lees story TO the
effect that he did not make the coins,
but they charge that he has been cir
culating them for others. In default of
81 coo bond he was committed to Jail
to await trial in the Federal court
next November. Lee said before his
commitment to jail that he has a
mother and sister i'm Columbia. He
is unmarried, was u farmer and store
keeper. and appeared to be man
of more than ordinary intelligence.
There is also q charge pending
against him of giving a bad check to
his boarding house keeper.
The other man in trouble is also
named Lew. II. Lee, of Washing
ton, N G. He raised a row in a ,sa-
loon and when arrested it was found
that he had a notwithstanding pistol in
his pocket. He was sent to Jail.

Captain Creecy, the latter getting his
scores closer to the center.

School Law Changes.

The Richmond Headlight says two
changes in the. school law will be
urged upon the next Legislature, both
intended to bring the public schools
and the people they serve more close
ly in touch. The changes proposed
are in reference to the manner of fill
ing the offices of county boards of
education and county superintendents
of education. In the Headlight's
opinion they should be selected by the
people they are to serve. 1t adds:
This manner of appointing instead
of eiecting school officers was a ne
cessity before the disfranchisement of
the negro, but now that necessity does
not exist, and its repeal has become a
necessity. Every school officer ought
to be elected by the people to be serv-
ed. from State superintendent to
school committeeman. This is De-
mocracy in it's native purity and SIM

Damaoe To The Cotton Crop.

From all sections of the cotton
growing region of the State there
come reports of damage to the cotton
crop by the wet weather. In Arson
and Richmond and adjoining coun-
ties, it is stated that the bolls We're
from half grown to full size, and are
in all stages of decay. some OF them
being entirely rotten while others are
just commencing to show signs of the
bad effect of the continued rains. One
large planter of cotton in Arson tells
the Wadesboro Messenger that nearly
all the cotton in this section is af-
fected in this manner.
In Baden county cotton farmers are
complaining of the appearance of
what they call the 'sharp shooters

shooters is said to be a small insect
that stings the boil and renders if
worthless, drying it up. A farmer

HAIR TELLS CHARACTER.
Color of Hair Said to Indicate a Per-
sons Temper ament.

Many people believe that blonde, or
light hair denotes affection and dark
hair constancy. A person without hair
is not devoid of character; far from it.
The disposition of the average bald
headed man is to show such solicitude
for the welfare of others, that he neg
lects himself. A germ causes badness.
Prof. Sabouraud, of Paris, France, in

causing it to become totally bald in five
weeks time. To rid the scalp of these
dangerous germs it is necessary to apply

To the Editor: The attached clip
ping refers to a son of Col. Creey, of
Elizabeth City. Captain Creecy is a
genuine Tar Heel still, and is as much
interested in all things pertaining TO
the State and it's people as if he still
resided there. He is a splendid gen.
tleman in every way and a most en-
Pertaining companion, and | am glad
to have the privilege of knowing him.
Physically, he is handsome man of
fine physique and is worthy son of
his distinguished father From the
clipping l gather that he also knows
how to handle his gun, but L never
found out anything about his prof.
cheney with the revolver from him
personally and L had to find out from
others that he is a fine hoseman as
well. He is very much liked and re-
spected in the community.
