CAUGHT IN
THE CORRIDORS

''The people of North Carolina are
just now about to enter into a very
lively gubernatorial contest" said Mr..
]. r. Harris of Raleigh, at the Pulaski
last night. There are now four or
five candidates in the race, but it is
the general opinion that the number
will dwindle down to about two be-
fore the convention meets. The race
well then be a very warm one between
Maj. Charles NJ. Steadman of Green's
boro, and Hon. Robert B. Glenn of
Winston, with the chances favoring
the latter.
I'VE have never enjoyed a more
prosperous year in the old North
state, and the state treasury now has
the largest surplus of any year since
the war. There has probably been
thirty new cotton mills built in the
state during the past year and the peo-
pie are now paying more attention to
other industries The city of High
Point has more furniture factories
than any city in the South and is
termed the Grand Rapids of the
Southern states Only recently one of
the largest steel bridge plants in the
country was completed at Burlington
and is now doing an enormous bust
ness"
Il notice in the papers that Capt.
Richmond Pearson Hobson is to ad-
dress the people of Savannah some
time this month"; said Mr.. Arthur L.
White of Montgomery, Ala, at the
Pulaski last night. There is one
thing that I will wager on and that
is when they have heard the young
Merrimac hero lecture they will have
a much better opinion of him. He
captivates his audience wherever he
goes and when once the people of Sa-
vannah have heard him speak they
will forever afterwards be his friend.
He has surprised the people very much
in his native state, and the result is
that he is extremely popular through
out the state, and it will not surprise
me in the least that he will succeed
in defeating the veteran congressman,
Col. John H. Bankhead for re-nomina-
ton in the Sixth District. He has al
ready made two free lecture tours of
the district, and has a very strong fol-
lowing among the younger element of
the party.
while Capt. Hobson does not adj
init the fact" said Mr.. White, lit is
generally believed that his ambition is
to be elected to Congress now and pull
his wires in such manner that he
will be in a position to enter the SEN
atorial race when Senator Morgan or
Senator Pettus pass over the river.
One thing is certain, there is no limit
to his ambition, and l am proud of
the fact that he halls from the state
of Alabama"

Delight in Its Perusal.

Rabbi Abram Simon, Washington Hebrew
Conerega ton, says: 1.-The reading of The
Yoke has been anything but yoke and
burden to me; on the contrary, 1 am pleased
to record my hearty delight in its perusal
1t has always been matter of surprise and
regret to me that the dramatic and romantic
elements, of Egyptian life have been so stu
diously neglected. All the more is the au-

her successful English exploitation OF the
rich field which George Ebers admirably
cultivated in the German. The interest in

intensity, and one lays down the book with

Mems New Rain Coats.

A Rain Coat is a positive neces-
sity and should be counted in every
mans wardrobe. The coat of today
hasn't the least resemblance to the
Rubber Macintosh of few years
past, which had only one point of
merlt-to shed water; but today
they have all the appearance of dress
coats, and besides being waterproof
are excellent as light weight over
coats, heavy enough for fall and
early winter.
We are showing an extensive line
this season, and although the selling
OF the last several weeks made great
lnroads and left many of our lines
depleted, these have now been re-
plenished, and we have also added
several new lines.
Our special $1,000 Coat, in an Ok
ford gray, is an unusually smart
looking garment, made in the cor
rect style, with fit, trim and work.

SAN FRANCISCO. October 19.-The Ger
man schooner Karl and Ella has arrived in
port sixtythree days out from Ponape.
She carried a cargo of $4,000 pounds of
copra, together with pearl shell and ivory
nuts. On August Z she encountered ter
rife storm, which nearly wrecked her. Her
rigging and sails were carried away and
three feet of water rushed in the hold. The
pumps were kept going night and day. 1t
was only after heroic efforts that the ves-
sci reached this port. Even after the
anchor was dropped 1t was necessary to
keep the pumps going in order to keep the
craft afioat.

Shanghai dispatches to the Standard

pears to be mysterious murder case
The body of young woman, richly
appareled- in silks, laces and velvets,
