A few individuals who have been rushing into print with sensational statements about the great damage to wheat, corn and cotton, and the very poor yields that were promised, are likely to see their regulations as crop experts rudely shattered in the public estimation, says an exchange. Both cotton and corn promise approximately as large an out-turn as any on record, while even the wheat crop is only SO,- COG, ,O0O bushels less than last year, and fully 5O,0OO, ,O0O bushels more than the manufacturers of grain market sensa- tions have been prophesying. There has not been season that we can re- member where estimates have been put out with such utter recklessness as they have this year. It is time that the fact became impressed upon the public mind that in the midst of vio- lent speculation in the grain pit pre- dictions made by the hired experts of speculative houses are not to be trust ed. These men owe the attention they have received to the extravaganza of their own statements, and to nothing else.

King Edwards Brother, the Soldier
 Prince, Thrown From Automobile.
 EDINBURGH, Oct 14.-The Duke of Connaught, brother of King Edward, while driving in motor car from Ed inburgh to Gosford house, the seat of the Earl of Wemyss, had narrow es- cape from death and suffered painful injuries, from which he was for time unconscious.
 The automobile, in which the duke was riding with his aid-de-camp, Ma jor Murray, in passing a street car, collided with a cart. The overhanging portion of the cart struck the rear seat of the automobile and literally carried away that section of the vehicle.
 The duke was thrown out with great force. AS soon as the automobile could be stopped Major Murray went to the aid of the duke, whom he found un- conscious and bleeding from wounds about the head. A second automobile, carrying members of the dukes suit, came up, and the duke was taken back to Edinburgh in it. By the time the au- tomobile reached Edinburgh the duke had recovered and was able to walk into his hotel

 It is very evident that the demo- crats of Waterbury are satisfied with the present rules which govern the party in this city. Twice within 9 year a new set of rules have been drawn up and submitted to the people. Both times the new draft was defeat ed, which says in plain terms that the old rules are good enough. There were no great changes contemplated, any way, so that the party will not suffer any from yesterdays vote. The thing to do now is to get together and work under the old rules and roll up majority that will show to those who are trying to disrupt the party here that they cannot do it. Let us show united front from now until Novem- Der 8, and Parker and Robertson will get at least 600 majority in this city.

Hearst Sore on Idaho.

Edward III. Hamilton, the famous
Hearst newspaper correspondent,
describing the struggle for the pres
idential nomination at st. Louis, is
very bitter over the action of the
Idaho delegation, which he accuses
Of betraying his leader. Hamilton
treats the incident as follows IN his
report to the Hearst syndicate Of
papers:
Outside Of the Parker matter the
day has been spent IN telling how
the fight was won and lost. There
seemed to be but one real sore spot
left before the Parker manifesto.
Idaho represents that sore, and the
Idaho delegation has not come off
with honor. Men are shaking their
heads over It, and the whispered
innnendoes are not good to hear.
When the roll was called and the
vote on the nomination of Parker
was few shy of the necessary two
thirds, every body felt that the thing
was over; IN fact, everybody but the
dreamers had known for days that
Parker would be the nominee when
ever the thing got to a vote, but be
fore the result could be announced,
Idaho had instructed for Hearst.
The change was direct breach of
political faith among politicians.
Such thing is refusal to pay a
debt of honor among gentlemen or
welching among gamblers.

A WISE BUSINESS DEAL.

Mr.. James Brinkley a prominent farmer
living near Drivers In Nanesmond county
died recently while in the prime of life, and
MS death illustrates fOrcibly the Importance
or certain precautions in business matter
that men are often likely to overlook.
Nearly all business men, and particularly
men In the BUSH ess OF farming, have plans IN
hand ut all times that others cannot take up
on the instant and mature successfully. They
must have time to become familiar with
details, and have ready money to cover delays
involved, as we'll as TO continue operations.
Mr.. Brinkley could always command money
needed to tide him over emergencies; but for
his estate to do such thing is entirely diff
ferent proposition.
Mr.. Brinkiey was always active In business
and seldom had large balance in bank. He
Kept his money at work. AS a consequence,
when stricken down by death, business losses
would almost certainly have eusued had lac
not forseen such difficulities and as prudent
business man prepared for them several years
ago by taking out "A policy OF life insurance In
the Phoenix Mutual of Hartford. The money
received from The Phoenix In payment of this
policy was. as Mr.. Brinkley foresaw, worth
several times the amount TO his family in the
protection which 1t afforded its various
interests.
Upon receipt OF request we will send pam
