Deaths.

James Frank Irvine, OF Rollinsville,
died Of lock jaw at that place last Fri
day evening. He had been working at
mill at Caribou, near Rollinsville, week
before his death, when through some
mishap his arm got caught in belt,
crushing it badly and breaking it in
three or four places. The attending
physician told the injured man the only
thing to do to prevent lock jaw was to
amputate the arm, but the patient would
not agree to this. He also refused to be
taken to Denver where the chances OF
saviug his life, perhaps, would have been
much better. The remains were brought
here Frialy afternoon and were received

cred by the steamboat inspection ser
vice that Captain Holville made little
effort to aid Sylph. The accusation
OF Lieutenant Evans and the reply
OF Captain Holyille do not materially
differ except that Holville offered an
excuse fol- his action. In the inspec-
ton service it is said this excuse was
the most damaging evidence obtained
Lieutenant Evans says in his report
that he was entirely helpless and the
Oteri knew it. He then tells of the
rescue on the morning of the 18th by
the Morgan Liner Ell Cid which put
about from her course to New Or
leans
The Sylph was taken in tow but its
condition was so bad that the Morgan
liner was compelled to slow down
from ten to five knots, and later to
three knots an hour. The report of
Lieutenant Evans closed with tails
statement:
II am firmly convinced that had the
Ell Cid not taken us into port the
Sylph and all her people would have
been lost"
The report of the inspectors says
the Sylph had broken down and asked
to be taken in tow, and that Captain
Holville failed to slow down for the
alleged reason that at the time the
Sylph was spoken the telegraph sys-
tenn on the Oteri became impaired and
there was no direct manner of send
ing word to the engine room for a
reversal of the engines. The inspec-
tors held that this excuse showed the
master to be a man without resources
and on that ground and negligence
revoked his license.

TO REVIVE INTEREST.
Club May Take up Sir wal
ter Raleigh Monument Matter.

A conference of the Civic Depart
ment of the Woman's Club with the
Sir Walter Raleigh Monument Com
mittee was held yesterday, at when
was discussed a proposition to be SUD-
mitted to the Woman's Club. Among
the gentlemen present were Messrs.
w. J. Peele, N b. Broughton ana
Thomas Arlington.
1t will be remembered that the
movement to erect a monument 10 the
memory of Sir Walter Raleigh was
inaugurated in 1902 by General Julian
S. Carr, and that the first contrlbu,
ton was made in pennies by the School
children of Durham. There is now IN
the hands of the treasurer, MI. JOS.
G. Brown, about $500.
The proposition that will be submit
ted to the Woman's Club will consist
of plans for reviving interest in the
project, and soliciting subscriptions
for raising the necessary funds, and
the feature of it is the suggestion that
a lady secretary be employed by the
Club to conduct all State correspond
ence.
The proposition will be submitted
at the next regular meeting OF the
Climb.

RUST OF COTTON.
The Disease is Rapidly
Spreading in This
State.

State Biologist Gerald Mccarthy has
issued an important bulletin on the
Black Rust of Cotton, which is spread
ing rapidly in this State. The bulle-
tin is as follows:
THE Department of Agriculture has
received numerous samples of dis
eased cotton bolla showing blackened
surface and in many cases having the
immature lint exposed and rotten
These diseased bolls show the pres
ence of the spores or reproductive part
of a parasitic fungus. colletotrichium
gossipyium. The fungus seems to be
spreading in North Carolina and al
ready does very serious damage The
estimate damage now caused is about
one-half the normal yield on the in
fected areas.
THE spores or so-called seeds of the
fungus live over winter in the dis
eaCed bolls and stalks of the proceed
ing crop. usually left in the field. The
spores also undoubtedly live upon the
seed stored in barns and cotton gins.
When this seed is planted or when
unaffected seed are planted upon in
fected soil the fungus starts
growth along with the seed
and grows up through the
to the surface of the stalks and form
ing black patches on stalk and boil.
Great damage is done to the growing
crop by the threads of this fungus
choking the sap vessels of the leaf
stalks. thereby causing the leaves to
fall off. When young bolls are Sc
riously infected the-- stop growth, open
and expose the immature lint which
Soon rDts.
The only practicable remedy for
this disease is 10 rotate crops so that
cotton will not come upon the same
land oftener than once in three years.
Seed cotton should never be taken
from the piles at gin houses. The
seed should always be carefully Sc
lected from healthy and prolific plants
in the field. Such selection together
with a proper rotation will prevent
the loss now caused by this disease
and will at the same time improve
the strain and increase the yield of
the crop.
The use of fungicidal sprays upon
cotton is not recommended

VETS WIN AT WADESBORO.
By q Rather Close Vote Declaration il
Made for Distilleries and saloons.

Especial to News and Observer
Wadesboro, n. c., Sept. 19.--In the
local option election held here today
there were one hundred and sixty
votes cast for saloons and one hum
dred and seven against saloons, one
hundred and thirty-seven for disti-
leries and one hundred and twenty
five against distilleries.. There is talk
of contesting the election on the
grounds that a great many of the
voters were not properly registered
and others not qualified to register and
vote for different causes. The ladies
of the town held prayer meeting all
day in the Methodist church and the
dry people did everything they could
that was honorable, but it is said that
the wet people used money by the
wholesale and therefore carried the
day for saloons and distilleries.

VLADIVOSTOK BLOCKADE
REPORTED AS EFFECTIVE
Japanese Do Not Light Beacons Except
Occasionally, and Straits Are
Filled With Ice.

Toxic, Feb. 10. Entry to NlndivostolS
from the sea is now limited to Tsushima
straits (straits Of Korea) and Tsugaru
straits. The Soya straits are barred
By ice. Reports received here from Hok-
kaido (the northernmost island Of Jap
any and also from coasting vessels say
Soya straits are not frozen over, but
are filed with foes and bergs, making
navigation practically impossible.
70 further increase the difficulty of
reaching Vladiyostok, the Japanese gov
ernment announces that the lighthouses
in the vicinity Of Tsugaru straits will
not be lighted except occasionally. This
is for strategic reasons, and coasting
and neutral navigators are warned that
in passing Tsngaru straits they must
exercise the greatest care The Japanese
continue to patrol Tsushima and Tsu-
garu straits, and 1t is believed that the
blockade of Vladivostok is effective.
It was reported from Vladiyostok I'M
der date Of Feb. 4 that the Russian
arnored cruisers Rossia and Gromoboi
had been repaired, but it is doubted
whether they viii emerge from the har-
Dor on account Of the extensive seizures
by the Japanese Of eoal-laden ships
bound for Vladivostok. Large stocks
have been purchased by Japan, which
has now ceased purchasing coal,
