THREE DIE IN PRAIRIE FIRE.
Property Loss in Oklahoma Is Esti

dollars. The dead: w. II. Meyer.

Ere; DR.. Harmon. near Lawton. burned

burned to a crisp.
Further reports of property loss by
both fire and wind indicate that the
first estimate was too low. The dam.
age by wind extends over seven coun.
ties in the southwest. Scores Of
persons are suffering from burns and
broken limbs. At Elk City three mem,
bers OF the family of NJ. S. Watts
were seriou1ly injured by the demoi.
ishing of their home in the hurricane.
The area from which reports of dam.
age by wind come cover hundred
miles square and means of communica.
ton over the district are meager
This difficulty is increased by the fact
that poles are burned and wires blown
down. The little town of Francis
was destroyed by fire.
Specials from Indian Territory tell
of fierce winds and numerous fires.

of $4,000 by fire in the country near

Abandon Plural Families.
Washington, March 4.-Attorncys
for the protestants in the Smoot in
vestigation said they intended to prove
that the defendant is associated with
a hierarchy which practices polygamy
and conniyes at Violations of the law
and that his very vote as o senator
of the United States is subject to the
wish and command of the Mormon
church. President Joseph T. Smith
confessed that he himself had contin-
ued to cohabit with his plural family
since the manifesto of 1890 and that
he realized fully that he was violating
state laws. President Smith also test
fed that Reed Smoot had to get the
consent of his associate apostles in
the church before he could become
candidate for senator. :
The confession of President Smith
was the sensation of the proceedings
before the senate committee on priv
ileges and elections. Mr.. Smith said
that the manifesto of 1890 had let
him and others with plural families in
the unfortunate situation of being
compelled 70 defy the law or desert
their families. For himself he had
preferred to take chances with the
law" rather than to disgrace himself
and degrade his family by abandoning
his wives and the children they had
borne him. He admitted that he had
had children by all of his five wives
since the manifesto and SAID he had
acknowledged them openly without
interference or disturbance from the
people of Utah, whom he character
lied as liberal and broad-minded. The
defense will take the witness today.
Washington, March 5.-Interest in
the investigation before the senate
committee on privileges and elections
on the protests against Senator Reed
Smoot of Utah was unabated, although
most of the time was devoted to intro
duction of documents On the law OF
the Mormon church. In that connec
tion MIR. Smith testified that if the
principle of the plural marriage
should be attacked it would be defend
ed by the church. Intense feeling was
exhibited by President Smith against
WIZ, hS Saiu, sPiSu
on the domestic and matrimonial rela-
tions of the high officials of the Nor
mon church, and for that reason he
had favored the passage of the Evans
bill to prevent prosecutions for polyG
amous cohabitation, unless complaints
were entered by husband or vie
against the other. This bill was
passed, but vetoed by the governor Of
Utah. 1t was brought out that all Of
Mr.. Smiths predecessors as presi-
dents OF the Mormon church had been
polygamists and that the man chosen
to succeed him had more than one
wife. Mr.. Smith was asked which he
would obey, the law of the land or the
revelations from Cod if the two were
in conflict. He said he might obey the
revelation, though it was not compul
sorry. He added: 81 should not like
10 be put in a position where I would
have to desert my children. could not
do that"

This is a great state we live in.
Her productiveness is astounding.
There is nothing in the way Of agri-
cultural products that any state in
the union grows which she cannot
produce. No state has a greater va
riety of forest trees. Her soil yields
up all the minerals and metals and
many of the gems and precious stones
found in other sections of the world
and some that are found nowhere
outside of her own borders. Now
m the astounding information
that hat beautiful gem of the sea,
the pearl. is found in her waters. The
editor of the Wilson Times tells us
that he has been shown a ring set
with North Carolina pearls which
have been declared by an expert on
gems to be Of very fine quality
These pearls were found in mussel
shells taken from Contentpea creek in
Wilson county.

ment for the good Of the entire COM
munity. Cooperation and united acton
Is as necessary in the present cas- as II
was then
There is no antagonism between
classes in our town and there should
not be. What is for b good OF one
is for the good OF the other. Every time
a capitalist establishes a new factory or
anv other Industrial plant he does so
much for the wage Garner Every time
a mar of means begins the erection ct
a new building he puts 50 much money
into the pockets of the carpenter, the
brickmason and other mechanics. Ev-
cry time a trucker adds another acre
to his farm in h Ieighborhood OF our
city he gives additional opportunity for
steady farm labor to some of our peg
pie.
Wilmington has great possibilities.
She is, as matters now stand, making
rapid progress. No other town In tie
south i doing better, but we ought not
to be satisfied with this. We should
want better things, and We al get
them II we will all pull together-make
up our minds as n man to put our
city and our farming and trucking Be =
ton far to the front OF any other IN
this whole part Of the country. We
can do it if we will. We have the nat
ural advantages Of soil, climate and
location, and Of quick transportation.
All we want is for the people to
realize the existence of these advan-
tages and to unite with hearty will in
taking advantage OF these conditions.
Our Wilmington people must not lose
sight OF what is in store for them e
they VIII exert themselves to attain
to it. They must not let it become pos
sible for a Wilmington paper to say Of
them as did a paper of Winston of it's
people a few days ago:
There Is a woeful lack of public spir-
it in Winston-Salem. I don't believe
that there is a town in North Carolina
where SO little is bein gdone by the cit
liens toward the upbuilding of The
place Is is being done here. 1t is a
condition that does the people Of Wins
ton-Salem little credit"
The statement quoted above was
made several days ago.. 1t emanated
no from a resident Of another town,
who was anxious to discredit the Twin
City, but from a prominent citizen Of
Winston-Salem, who knows the condi-
tons existing here and is anxious to
remedy them to the end tha our prog
ress along industrial lines may te
greater than it mas been in the past.
And he is not the only one who has
made such a statement. There is a con.
Vdction rapidly growing that the fore
most citizens Of Winston-Salem man..
fest too little interest in the welfare CT
our town.

Our southern friends are embarking
upon a strange. uncharted sea- In or-
gaming for the purpose CT securing
European immigrants for their fields
and factories. they launch the bark Of
their civilization In waters OF which
they ahye ntiher knowledge nor expe-
rience. We hope the best for them.
1t Is to be said for the venture. how
ever, that IL seems to be inevitable.
Negro labor. long the southern prefer
ence-perhaps still preference-has OF
late years grown more and more made
quate- from n cause or anothe.-.
which we fancy might be identified
without much trouble, the has
developed a steadily increasing distaste
FOR agricultural pursuits and a CORES
ponding incapacity for those requiring
skill. intelligence and character. The
educated" blacks want TO be lawyers,
orators and politicians. while the uned-
ucated drift from the farms TO congre-
gate in the cities. Some fever in their
blood-some vague but radiant dream
OF exaltatton-turns them from the SIM
pie occupations in which they have
hitherto found Independence. And 50.
the employers in the southern states
have yielded. though In most cases with
reluctance, TO conditions hey can no
longer ignore or control. The move
menC or immigration mas
been inaugurated.
How it VIII affect the south. some
prophet must arise to tell us. If we
could hope that the stream of popula-
ton were to be composed of Scandina-
Wan. Teutonic and Anglo-Saxon ele-
ments. the future would be easy to
forecast. There IS little chance of this.
however, nor do we see much reason
| to expect that the south VIII receive
even from italian, Slav, and other alien
sources, the better and more desirable
classes. We do not believe that the aS-
ricultural peasantry of southern Eu-
rope will immigrate In any considera-
BILE numbers. n our fear is that we
she receives the rersult of this new
enterprise the same material no
exhibition in the mines, factories and
| slums of the north. If such should BE-
the "ase, the last condition of our
southern friends W Il be worse than the
first. and the social problems OF this
section will be multiplied and intensi-
fled beyond all computation.
But 1t is an unavoidable venture.
The southern negrOes--the most salts
factory unskilled laborers, possible or
imaginable under the peculiar circum-
stances-can no longer be depended on
in the equation Of the South'S industrial
development. The proprietors. the en-
ployers, the wage-payers cannot sit
down, inert, Will. the structure fails
in ruins on their heads. What causes
have brought about this emergency we
need not now consider. Let us hope,
though, that the negroes, who must be
the chief victims of the new dispense
ton, will be cared for by those who
have misled them with false hopes

FIGHTING Al ZIEGLER.
Night Attacks Have Been Resumed
With Great Activity.

Zeigler, ILL.,, December 15.-Night at
lacks on Zeigler have been resumed
with marked activity, giving the IS SOL
diers on guard duty plenty Of opportu-
nifty to use rifles. Last night the fir
ing was resumed in the vicinity Of the
pumping station and was answered by
the militia.
For some time it had been exception
ally quiet, but thirty non-union min
ers were imported into the stockade
yesterday by railroad from Chicago
and this probably is responsible for
the new outbreak.
According to the contention of the
Zeigler coal company the shooting from
ambush is mostly for the purpose Of
intimidating the strike breakers.
