LIFE OF JUDGE MURPHEY.

People in North Carolina will be
glad to know that after the long lapse
Of years a memoir of Archibald De
Bow Murphey is in preparation and
will be published shortly. Some fifteen
years ago, Judge Archibald Murphey
Aiken, of Danville, Va, great grand
son of Judge .Murphey, thought of
writing a memoir of him, but did not
carry out his purpose. Last spring
Mr.. w. Henry Hoyt of Burlington,
VT, a grandson of Capt. Peter UNI
stead Murphey of the United States
and Confederate Navies, and a great
grandson of Judge Murphey, ran
across a considerable part of the cor
respondence of Judge Murphy in New
York City, which he is anxious to make
the basis of biographical work. Mr.
Hoyt is DESTROYS of obtaining any let
ters written to or from Judge Muir
phey, as we'll as newspapers accounts,
anecdotes. etc. any incidents that VIII
Illustrate any phase of his life. There
are no doubt those who will see this
item who could give Mr.. Hoyt assist
ance in the way of "reminiscences or
anecdotes Communications may be
addressed to him at No. sos Pearl ST.,
burlington, VT
IT is particularly fitting since the re-
cent revival of the memory or JudSc
Murphey in connection with his work
in behalf of education, th3t an appre-
ciative biogra ply of the predecessor of
Horace Mann should be written, and
we are glad that Mr.. Hoyt has under
taken the work 1t should have wide
circulation in North Carolina and
should be appreciated everywhere.

Along all Lines.
CIV the Associated Press. }

Mexico City, Set. 17.-President
Diaz message delivered at the conven-
ing of Congress, which occurred yes
terdav, was today given to the press
for publication. The message was
of the usual length and dwelt partic-
ularly on the friendly relations eX-
listing with all foreign powers.
The arrival of the first diplomatic
representative of China was noted
He reported the result of the sanitary
campaign against yellow fever as graf
flying.
There has been no recurrence OF
this disease in epidemic form dur
ing this year. The president reviewed
at leneth the notable advances made
here in education. During the Hrst
half of the current fiscal year 1,600
titles were granted to mining proper
ties. There has been a notable actlV-
ity in mineral production ana Mexico
now takes second rank as a producer
of copper.
The railway systems of the country
have increased greatly during. the past
year. The federal telegraph system
has steadily grown, 1000 kilometres
of new lines having been built.
The national finances are IN an eX-
cellent condition.
The total revenues of the fiscal yeall
ending June 80, were over $S5, 900, 900;
this is a gain of $S,OOO.OOO over tina
previous fiscal year.
Both the customs collections anG,
the stamp taxes continue to give largo
returns.
In referring to military matters the
President says great progress has been
made in improving and modernlzlnS
ornaments and the artillery has been
strengthened.
] He states that the new war vessels
constructed in the United States and
Italy will add to the importance and
efficiency of the navy.
International peace has continued
uninterrupted and the country haa
continued prosperous. No mention Ia
made of the monetary reform which,
may come before Congress this year
or next spring in a special session.
The message is replete with facts
demonstrating the great progress made
by the nation. The business COM
| munity regards it as contributory ia
maintaining domestic and foreign con-
| fidence as it shows remarkably solid
| condition of the national finances.

Dear Sir Have you fOund-out you
can paint a job with fewer gallons
Devoe than of anything else, lead-and-
oil or anything else?
Mr. Floyd Amy. House and Sign
Painter, Greenwich. n Y, found it out
three years ago: 81 have used Devoe
lead and zinc for the past three years.
and cannot say too much in it's favor.
/ am using it now on a big job that
[ took by contract and it has saved
me at least $25 in the cost of ma
terial.'
Devoe is the strongest paint we
know-of; goes furthest; takes less OF
1t to do your job.
Lead-and-oil is pure; lead-and-zin inc
is stronger; covers more: goes fur
Their.
Have you found-out YOU can paint
a gallon Devoe in less time than a
gallon of anything else? That means
less time for the job. Less time; less
money.
Less paint; less money for that; lest
time, less money for that. Devoe lasta
longer; do you mind the less money
for that? You are surer of it.

Third Shipwrecked Crew
Saved and Landed
at Wilmington
(By the Associated Press.)


Wilmington, N. c.. Sept. 17.-The
third shipwrecked crew to be landed
in Wilmington since the disastrous
hurricane of Tuesday and Wednesday
came up to the city yesterday. Inc
rescued men were Captain E. w. Bar
lowe and seven men who were res
cued from the wreck of the schooner
Nathan Lawrence, in the Gull stream
off Cape Romano. The Nathan Law
renee sailed from Georgetown, >. Cn
last Monday. The hurricane struck the
Ship at D. M, Tuesday and carrlea
away every sail, though snugly furleI
around the boom. Huge seas boarded
the ship, swept both life boats away
carried away the forward house, the
midship house, and all the water tanks
and belongings of the crew. In the
midst of an awful sea. Tuesday night
at midnight, the ship sprang a leak
and filled in thirty minutes. Nothing
was left above water but the after
house, and on to this the crew lashed
themselves and waited for daylight.
At the break of day Wednesday the
schooner d. j. Sawyer sighted the
wreck and bore down on 1t.
The sea was too rough all day to
allow boat to be launched but at
$50 o. m., a boat was put over and
all hands were saved. The men were
exhausted, having been without food
and water twenty-four hours Tho
rescuing schooner herself had suffered
from the storm, having lost her jib-
boom, mainsail and two headsails.
The schooner William p. Hood,
Captain Smith. arrived today from
Norfolk with a cargo of coal. She
was in the hurricane off Hatteras anC,
had her bulwarks carried away and
lost part of her sails.
