THE AFTERNOON.

Before the starting of the racing program the Kilties band arrived and until late in the afternoon, alternating between the racing events, played most excellent music. interspersing oc casional patriotic airs that brought cheers from thousands of tbroats.
 It was during a pause between races too that the subject of anti -ioint statehood was brought up and by a rising vote that appeared to be unan- imous the grandstard signified it's protest It Is mentioned in detail else where
 Just before the program hour there was an auction sale of Billy Baker, driving horse we'll known locally, as belonging to pr. H. A. Hughes He was sold for $170.
 The grandstand was well filled at an earlier hour than usual, and by the time the races werc well under way it was crowded to the limit of it's capacity. And a more intelligent, pros porous and finer looking lot of Amer ican citizens never gathered together in any audience of tilat soze
 The first race of the day, and one of the best ones, was the 2:17 pace. best three in five, for a purse of $40O. It proved to be somewhat sensational, for it took the entire five heats to de- eide the winner, and then only one horse got two heats, and that was Paul D. Kelly, one of the Greene string. Kelly is a two-year-old and was travelling against older horses.

ARCHBISHOP CHAPELLE.

Archbishop Chapelle, of New Or
New Orleans on Wednesday, was one
of the most noted and universally re-
spected priests in the country. He
had long been in active and useful
work and the recipient of many hon
ors, both from the Church and from
noted men in civil life. His illness
with the dread disease was closely
watched throughout the country, and
it was thought that he had success
fully passed the crisis. A relapse
came Wednesday, however and he
died on the afternoon of that day.
Archbishop Chapelle was born at
Rhuns, France, August 2Sth. 1912,
was ordained to the priesthood at St.
Mary's Seminary in 1865 and. after
term as assistant rector of st. Johns
Church, in Baltimore, became in 1874,
the rector of st. Joseph's Church in
that city. In 1882 he went to Wash
ington to take charge of st. Mat
thew's church, and while in the capi-
tai city was active in founding the
Catholic University there, selecting
and buying the land on which it is
located. He was close friend of
Presidents Arthur, Cleveland and Har-
riSon as we'll as of many high officials
of both parties. For several years
he was vice-president of Catholic In
dian Missions and was appointed
Bishop coadjutor to Archbishop Sal
pointe i'm 1891, at the latter's request,
succeeding to the Archbshopric in
1894 During his service in that ca
pacity he travelled extensively in New
Mexico, and is said to have confirmed
40 900 people and displayed much ca
pacity and zeal in the cause of educa-
ton. He was appointed Archbishop
of New Orleans in November, 1897, by
Pope Leo XIII, and in October, 1898,
was appointed apostolic delegate to
Cuba and Porto Rico and was COM
missioned to represent the Holy See
at the peace negotiations in Paris.
His work there was highly satisfactory
to his church and to the United States,

WATT TILL NEXT YEAR.

Some people wish to talk politics all
the months in all the years AS soon
as one Governor is seated, they begin
70 plan for his successor, and never let
the lucky fellow feel that he has a
firm tenure for four years. 1t is the
same way in county politics. 1t is a
whole year before primaries Will be
held and yet in a number of counties
candidates are already announcing
themselves. They act on the theory,
we suppose, that "the early bird
catches the worm" OF all such
"early bird politics, the Apex Journal
makes this sensible comment:
Now and then you will hear a fell
low who has nerve venture to talk
about politics at this early date.
Really, a fellow has nerve to do it, as
the folks are too busy developing
their communities to take interest in
the politicians.
John G.. SAKE has a poem-we for
get the rhyme-representin a father
who sought to induce his late-sleeping
son to get up early by telling him that
"the early bird catches the worm to
which parental admonition the boy is
represented as saying to his father:

The worm was punished for early

LAMONTS BIG FORTUNE.

Fortunes grow very rapidly in New
York when a man gets in the swim.
The estate of Daniel S. Lamont Is
valued at $3,30O,000. When Mr..
Cleveland asked him to go to Wash
ington as his private secretary in 1888,
Mr.. Lamont who had no money, said
he could not afford it. Mr.. Cleveland
urged and he accepted. He won the
friendship Of Mr.. Whitney, James j.
Hill and other very rich men, and
they saw that he had the sort of
ability that they needed and Mr.. Hill
gave him the vice-presidency of the
Northern Pacific and helped him to
start the fortune that he accumulated.
With him, political mountaineering
was the stepping stone to fortune, but
if he had lacked capacity he could not
have retained the position and amass-
ed a fortune.

Do Not Wish this Made Dumping
Ground for the Refuse POpula-
ton OF all Europe.
Chatham Record.

Chatham Record.
The immigration of an undesira BILE
number of foreigners to the United
States has become a very serious, if
not alarming, question. During the
last fiscal year, ending 30th of June,
over one million O,027,42D foreign
ers arrived in this country This num-
Der is 215,OOO more than last year,
and 10000 more than the highest
number in any previous year.
Not only is SO large an increase a
serious matter, but the character and
nationality of these immigrants make
1T matter to excite alarm. Nearly
one-half these immigrants last year
were Italians and Hungarians, who are
as undesirable a class of foreigners as
could come to our country. These
people have nothing in common with
our people, and are utterly and en-
tirely dissimilar in every respect. 1t
would be several generations, if ever,
before they would assimilate with our
people and become homogeneous with
us.
While all Americans proudly boast
that our great Republic is a refuge
for the oppressed of all nations, to
whom a warm welcome should be
extended, yet we do not wish to be
the dumping ground for the refuse
population of all Europe. Such immi-
grants do not and will not add any
thing to the wealth, prosperity and
intelligence of our country. On the
contrary they are continually giving
trouble and too many of them be-
come inmates of our penal and chari-
table institutions
We certainly do not want such
class of immigrants in this State. We
are glad that North Carolina has a
smaller percentage of foreign popula-
ton than any other State in the Union,
and we hope that our good old State
VIII forever remain in that condition.
We do not wish to be misunderstood
as opposing immigration, but we ere
opposed to flooding our country with
such a multitude of ignorant and i'm
moral Italians, Hungarians and other
immigrants of that class.

TOBACCO SHOULD BE HIGH.

If the law of supply and demand
works even half way this year tobacco
ought to bring a big price. The crop
last year was fully ninety million
pounds short and the crop this year
will not exceed that of last year, taken
as a whole. The Southern Tobacco
Journal says that "while there is an
increase in acreage, from the best
information at hand the acreage pro-
duction will fall considerably below
that of last year" 1t adds:
"A prominent WarehOuSeman on a
large bright market told us few
days ago that he had travelled through
the better portion of the eastern to-
baccO sections, and that he was salts
fled that the number of pounds pro-
duced this year would fall far short
of last years production. He told us
that the weed had plenty of color, but
was exceedingly thin and papery.
LAS to the conditions in the old
belts, they are in some sections more
encouraging. In Rockingham, Henry,
Stokes, Guilford, Durham, Granville,
and other North Carolina tobacco pro-
ducing counties, the crop looks well,
much better than year ago This is
especially true DIS 10 lHe coullleS III
Piedmont Nort1 Carolina and Vir-
ginia. If good seasons continue. We
may look for an exceedingly good
crop of chewing goods.
But, summing up the entire situa-
ton, we can say without hesitation
that this crop should bring good
prices
The demand for tobacco this year
is great, particularly for the bright,
and prices should rule high.

Rockefeller has Disciples.

There are lots of men who cloak

of John d. Rockefeller all over the
lively poor people, but they are crazy
for money just the same, and do not
hesitate to employ almost any kind Of
methods to get it. Mr.. Rockefeller
frequently contributes endowment
funds to colleges and charitable insti-
tutions and the beneficiaries of such
contributions think he's a great man.
We know men who would illegally
collect money from the poor and ig-
norant if they could-men who do not
have the confidence of their neigh
bors and would not be trusted in a
business transacton-men who are
totally unreliable and have to be
watched. They have some money. a
few thousand dollars from a man of
that kind to endoW an educational
institution would stamp him as great
man in the eyes of some people, but
the public cannot be deceived by such
endowments. There are too many ed

stitutons that are always looking for
some old hypocrite and extortloner to
chunk in some of his ill-got money.

This is good advice so far as it goes,

might not work well. If tobacco
starts off high, and prices hold up,
