During the Democratic Conven-
rion in st. Louis last week, Col.
Robert l.. Holt, as spokesman for a
few southern democrats, asked Col.
William J. Bryan if he would bolt
the convention. Col Bryan answer
ed by asking Col. Holt if he would
vote for Roosevelt. Col. Holt and
his crowd became very indignant at
this answer, and it also caused the
Raleigh Post to remark:
"What prompted Col. Bryan to
ask Col. Holt if he would support
Roosevelt il little beyond our
KEN"
But possibly Mr.. Bryan knew
whereof he spoke, as we have heard
1t rumored that Mr.. Holt has voted
for Republican for president.

Capt. L w. Pace Of Wilson, ad-
juster Of loss for the Park Region
Hail insurance. Company spent yes
terday here. He has been touring
the state In his work and IL thor
oughly familiar with the condition
Of the crops.
Col. Pace says that the heaviest
damage by hail thus far was done
by the two storms In Scotland coun-
ty and he thinks the loss there will
probably exceed $4,000. The next
storm, in point of damage, occurred
in Halifax where the losses were
about $4,000.
Speaking Of the prospects for
tobacco, Capt. Pace said, {" In eastern
Carolina the farmers will not make
more than 80 or IS per cent. Of their
usual tobacco crop simply because,
from one cause and another, they
did not plant the weed. However,
in the Piedmont section the tobacco
crop is large and fine. In fact I
have just come from Stokes and
Surry counties and / never saw finer
crops In my life than did there"
The damage by hail in Wake
county last week was confined to q
small area. One Of the heaviest
losers was Mr.. w. Bagwell /; he had
10 acres in cotton and a melon patch
ruined.

anese driving 1900 Russians from
the southern heights, which constl-
tuted their first line Of defense. On
the same day the japanese right
wing, southeast Of Kaiping, defeated
a small force On the left wing and
occupied the southwestern heights.
By Thursday the entire army had
forced its way closer to Kaiping,
overcoming the stubborn resistance
of the Russian infantry, artillery
and calvary in the narrow defiles.
The Russians held many strong posi-
tions in the mountain passes, but in
spite Of desperate resistance were
forced to abandon them. Durlng
the night the Russians were rein
forced considerably by trains from
the north and preparations were
made for big battle. Friday the
japanese began at daylight with an
artillery fire from guns placed on the
captured heights By 8 a. m. they
had driven the enemy from the out
er positions he was still holding and
forced him to his last line of defens-
es. The Russians evidently saw
then that the town was doomed to
capture General Oku reports that
many Russian troops were with
drawn during the morning.
The Russians finally took up
positions On the top Of high preci-
pices and again offered an obstinate
resistance. Towards noon they were
forced again to withdraw, the Japan
ese occupying their last line of de-
lenses.
The japanese pursued them in
spite of severe artillery fire from
Russian batteries on high hills to
the north. But the japanese artil-
lery, occupying new positions, man.
aged to silence the Russian guns.
The batteries and town were occu-
pied at noon without further re
5istance.
General Oku reports that in the
fighting at Kaiping Major General
koizumi was wounded by a bullet
in the hip.

JUDGE ALTON b. PARKER.

AT st. Louis last week the Demo-
Gratis nominated Judge Alton B.
Parker Of New York for president
and Henry G. Davis of West Vir-
ginia for vice. president. Judge Par
ker was nominated, Indirectly by
the truets, bankers and Wall Street
gamblers of New York. In other
words Judge Parker has been nomi
mated, Indirectly by the same pow
ers that tried to control Roosevelt
and failed. When Roosevelt was
spoken Of as the running mate of
Mckinley the trusts in New York
did all they could to have him put
on the ticket, so as to get him out
of New York State, and get another
man as Governor whom they
thought they could control. AS
proof of this statement, no sooner
heads of these corporations, together
with their political tools, boosted
openly that they had shelved him
and that he was dead politically.
This is tht caOwd that has now
turned to Judge as their leader.
As to Ex-senator Davis, who is
now 81 Year, old, it appears that he |
was put on the ticket because he is a
multi-millionaire and they know
they will need the money to add to
Wall Streets big pile if they make
any showing for Judge Parker in
this campaign.

The News and Observer q Politics
| Chameleon.
For some years the News an,
Observer has devoted column afte
column in abuse Of the Southern
Railway and it's management. I
there is anything mean in the Eng
lish language that might have hoo
sald ana has been left unsaid, w,
would be glad to have our attention
called to it. We will not attempt t.
specify or particularize. The publ,
has not forgotten.
In the beautiful and exquisite ar1
of State saving queer things come tt
pass.
1t so happened that one Mr.. R. B.
Glenn, of Winston, once upon a time
saved the State. He was a presi.
dental elector and canvassed the
State with Marion Butler. He is
something of speaker and said
harsh, bitter things. He pictured a
state Of fire and birthstone if his rule
or ruin policy should fail. We be-
lieve he also made some speeches in
other campaigns. Whether or not
he saved the State is still debata-
BILE question. But he presented his
bill and manager Simmons and some
other influences ordered it paid. So
he was nominated for Governor at
Greensboro few days ago.
Mr.. Glenn has been an attorney
for the Southern Railway Company,
the horrible octopus that disturbs
the dreams of the editor of the News
and Observer by day and by night.
We prefer no charges against him
on that account. That does not un-
tit him for holding high Office if he
were fit otherwise, and we do not
agree that the employee of any cor
poration is necessarily a bad man.
But the spectacle we are now wit
Messing of the News and Observer
gracefully, but slowly On
the party band wagon is a fine bit of
comedy. Of course we expected he |
would do 1t. If the devil were
nominated on Mr.. Daniels ticket he |
would fall right in and declare that
ne was the best eyer. But isn't it
trange that some people will call
his " honest Journalism ?"
The News and Observer should
ender q most abject apology To the
southern Railway for misrepresent-
ng it, or else apologize to the pub,

duty on the brine in which cured fish
are kept. The government never at
tempted to collect duty on brine until
recently when such an assessment was
made on small shipment Of salt
mackerel which was received at Port
Townsend. Wash. The mackere,
weighed 200 pound per barrel, and the
brine about 100 pounds( which made
the duty 50 barrel, instead OF 50. This
ruling has been enforced since that
time. On salt mackerel it practically
increases the duty by so per cen, and
the general average increase is about
40 to so per cent. mass meeting Of
those interested was held today to pre-
pare the full facts of the case e.,r the
appraisers hearing tomorrow.
