COLONIAL TROUBLES INCREASE
Outbreak Among Natives of German
East Africa.

Berlin, Aug. THE governor Of
German East Africa has telegraphed
to the colonial bureau of the foreign
Office that the natives in the Maturbi
mountains north OF Kilwa have risen;
also that there has been an outbreak
on the coast at Samanga during which
several warehouses were burned. The
causes of the discomfort appear to be
unexplained.
While rebellions are in progress in
other German African colonies East
Africa hitherto has been quiet. The
outbreak therefore causes some con-
Ecern. The government is thoroughly
tired Of these colonial wars, in which
considerable sums of money have
been sunk without bringing either
profit or glory.

zte's welcome, coupled with other re-

to partially remove some of the Rus
sian i'll feeling arising from the belief

There is noticeable more or less
talk Of a possible Russo-Japanese ALI.
ance as the outcome of the peace ne
gotiations.
The questions of an indemnity and
of the control of the island of SAX
halin are still considered to be stun
bling blocks in the way of an under
standing, though the argument is
hopefully reiterated in certain peace
quarters that President Roosevelt
would not have risked his prestige by
a second tender of good offices with
out having learned the minimum Jap
anese demands and the maximum Rus
sian concessions and without pretty
clearly seeing his way, by his per-
sonal influence, to the putting aside
of whatever differences may bar the
way to the bringing about of peace.
The Slovoe says that Russia needs
a lasting peace and that such peace
can only come through an alliance
with Japan. It hopes that the special
powers with which NJ. Witte is in
vested will permit him to deal with
the question of possible alliance,
but deprecates the possibility masked
by an indemnity in connection with
such an alliance.

ION TO APPOMATTOX."

Just forty years ago the greatest
soldier of the world surrendered the
remnant of brave army at Appomat-
tox. That army, with scant supplies
and provisions, ragged and foot-sorc,
had for four years waged an unequal
struggle against an army of five times
the strength, well provisioned, well
clad, supplied with the latest and best
guns and abundant ammunition, back
ed by the wealth and sympathy of Eu-
rope. The Confederate soldier made
a new record for courage, for patriot
starve and to die for the Cause that
he felt to be right-for rights which
he knew were guaranteed to him un-
der the Constitution.
There were five thousand North
Carolinians who participated in that
engagement at Appomattox. AS they
had been "Eirst at Bethel they were
the Last at Appomattox." Forty
years have passed. Most of the men
whose valor made North Carolina ia
nous in that last battle have answered
the last roll call and gone to join their
great commander in the Better Land
But some remain, and on Monday
representatives of the survivors, with
the sons and grandsons, daughters and
other patriotic North Carolinians, will
gather on that once crimson field to
dedicate a monument to the memory
g ~, .r,.I
be a notable day, history making
day, and North Carolina should be we'll
represented. The Norfolk & Western
Railroad will run special train leav-
ing Durham at o'clock Monday
morning. The train will return the
same night. The fare for the round
trip will be three dollars. 1t is an OPP
portunity of visiting one of the great
est battlefelds in the world that many
North Carolinians ought to embrace.
The fact that a few soldiers in Vir-
ginia, misconceiving the spirit of their
North Carolina brethren, have declin-
ed to take part in the exercises, should
cause as many North Carolinians as
possible to be present to greet the
speaker and to show to the world that
the North Carolina of this busy
and material age stops to do honor to
the brave men who did more to give
distinction to the State than any men
who have lived in its borders in its en-
tire history.
Why should North Carolina erect q
monument at Appomattox? Mr.. Hen
ry A. London, chairman of the Apo
mattox Commission, appointed by the
Genera! Assembly, in the Chatham Re-
cord of this week, writes as follows:
Next Sunday is the fortieth ami
versaly of the surrender of the Army
of Northern Virginia at AppomattoX
Court House and the collapse of the
Southern Confederacy. The 9th of
April, 1865, was on Sunday just as is
the 9Th of April, 1905, and because this
anniversary is on Sunday the exer-
cises attending the unveiling of North
Cardinals monument will be held next
day, on the 10th. This monument is
the first and only one thus far erected

Battle OF BarleYcorn.
CMilkeshoro chronicle. J

The battle of Marleycorn came off
last Saturday afternoon, near Knott
willie, in Rock Creek township, and one
James Stone and the breech of a shot
gun are seriously laid up for repairs.
The facts as we gather them are
about these:
Saturday afternoon Jim Stone went
across. Roaring River to the Edward $
township side, in the neighborhood
where he had carved on copper and
drank soup beans the Sunday be-
fore, and filled up his vessels, inward
and outward, with barleycorn fresh
from the kettles that had been carved
on and were leaking. He went back
home, got down his shot gun and
lovingly told his wife he would kill
her and fired, but missed her She
fled while he was getting another
cartridge. Her brother, Frank Hig-
gins came to the rescue and Stone shot
at him and missed. They grappled
and Higgins got the gun, went home;
Stone followed When Higgins told
him to go the other way, Stone didn't
and Higgins fired and several shot
took effect in Stones arm and thigh.
Higgins went from the house to the
woods and Stone followed and Higgins
shattered the gun breech on his head,
making some dangerous bruises
Stone was later carried to the house
by j. V. Bauguss and J. w. Burchette.
He is in a very dangerous condition
and it may be his last spree.

mitted his partizanship to invade his
church or affect his regard for men
of all parties. He led in the early
fight for temperance and in the later
successes he saw the harvesting of
the seed he and other faithful men
had sown in other years. He had
genuine State pride. He loved North
Carolina with a deep affection. He
loved its soil. it's rivers. its mountains.
He believed in it's people and was al
ways an optimist in believing they
would achieve a grand destiny. Though
he had lived in four States, his heart
was fixed upon his native State and
when he returned to Raleigh in 1879
he resolved to remain here as long
as he was permitted to dwell upon the
joyed the confidence and friendship of
SO many influential men. He was the
school mate and friend of Pettigrew
and Ransom and other great men
he was the intimate friend of Vance
and Jarvis and Scales and Fowle and
Holt and Carr and Aycock; he was
upon terms of warm friendship with
the States first lawyers. ministers
educators, editors; and as a true son
of the State helped them all by his
wise counsel. Many young men were
benefited by association with him.
Out of a large experience he gave
them sage admonition and helped
them in manv ways Until the last
he loved the company of young men
and out of rich store houses gave them
helpful. He never judged men stern
ly, but charitably. He made allow
ances for the mistakes of youth and
always carried about the mantle of
charity to throw about the short COM
ings of his fellow men. He remem
bered that they were frail. He looked
for the good in men and found it and
magnifled it, and sought to lead them
in right paths by appeals to their
highest instincts and noblest aspira-
tions

religion. He had preached Christ the
comfort to sorrowing men for half a
century. When he came to walk
through the deep waters of affection,
he found the gospel he had preached

years. In his heart there was no
malice, no resentment no desire for

Wanted; Better Jurors.
Winston Sentinel.

Winston Sentinel.
In recent term of Wake Superior
Court at Raleigh Judge Neal made the
statement that he wanted number
of business men on the jury, adding
that he believed men of affairs should
do jury service as we'll as anybody
else. Judge Neal is right. This plan
of excusing men from jury service be-
cause their business demands attention
is not a good one, in our opinion, for
a man who has no business and whose
sitting on a jury entails no sacrif1ce
at all is not ALWAYS a desirable Juror
We need more men of first-class busi-
ness ability on our juries as well as
in other places. Men of such ability
should certainly be wiling to serve
the State one or two days in a year

Spirit of the Press
Every Day Heroes.

Carthage Blade.
A day never closes without it's hero.
Sometimes We have the idea that
heroism has vanished from the earth.
1t is wrong. There are more heroes
today than ever, because there are
more human beings than ever. Last
week a section of the New York sub
way caved in, as the result of fire,
to check which some firemen were
sent into the tunnel. One man was
killed dying that another might live.
This IS the story:
Both Lille and a fireman named
Cavanaugh who were working side by
side, saw the cave in as it started.
Both were directly underneath the
falling mass and both would have
been crushed had not Lille thrown
his whole body against his companion,
pushing Cavanaugh out of the way
just as the mass fell. Lille was
crushed to death in an instant.
And the world stands with its back
to such incidents as this, while it pops
