TIE PRESIDENTS PLUNGE
In tho Pluneer Criticised-Two Great
a Risk to Run.

President Roosevelt's submarine ex-
perience upon the Holland boat
Plunger may well be regarded a
great triumph for this novel type OF
fighting machine When it was first
suggested hat tne President con.em-
plated going down in a submarine. a
chorus of friendly protest was raised
by the newspapers, which pointed out
that. in iustice to the Office he holds,
President Roosevelt should under nc
circumstances take such chances as
those involved apparently in a trip
beneath the surface of the waters. II
was t~hereupOn announced, with aprar
ent authority, that President Roose-
welt had no intention to accept the
hospitality Of the Plunger and its conf
mander in this way. However, curlos.
ity got the better of discretion. The
President took his dive with Lieute-
nant Nelson and hs gallant crew and
came out Of the experience safe, pleas
ed and satisfied. 1t is a great thing
for the Holland boat to point to the
success of this interesting experiment
it was a great experience for Presf'
dent Roosevelt, who now is clearly 4
lap ahead for the NOtoriety Cup. mas
much as it has turned out all right
the rest of us can share in the general
rejoicing. However, we cannot bring
ourselves to entirely forgive President
Roosevelt for taking such great
chances. Think what it would have
meant for the country if things had
gone wrong and we had been inflicted
with a Fairbanks Is Presidential.

YELLOW FEVER AND UARAN-
TINE.

Sundays yellow fever repor, from
New Orleans was the best that has
been made since the marine hospital
service took charge. There wer, for
that day only twenty-five new cases
and three deaths. This was a remark
ably good showing if all cases md
deaths were reported; but it is noti,e-
able that Mondays report is almost
always larger than that of any oth.r
day. Last Mondays was a good deal
in excess Of hat of the day before
For some reasO the surgeons do not
seem to be able to secure full reports
on Sundays. Why If is thus has not
been explained. However this may be,
there is no doubt that the autoriries
have the disease veil in hand IN the
city.
we wish the same could be said q
tho infected points outside of that
c;tv. The dsease seems to be slowly
making ity way along the gulf ooas.
The on1y thing TO do is to fight II
wbarevr it shows up and to make
ronaued efforts to prevent its appear
ano. in new places. Wherever it gets
. foothold it will most likely stay
until frost.
For this season there should be mos:
strenuous efforts by all state and inu-
nicipal authorities to prevent its fur
Their spread, and the only way to dc
this is to strictly enforce the quaran-
tine. No risks should be taken for the
accommodation of any one. Health
boards should see that all quarantine
officers do their duty and no such OIL
Ger should kept in service who is
lax in the performance of his duty.
If this is done the cities on the
South Atlantic coast are safe. If il IS
not, then some of them are liable to
have the disease brought into them.
We are glad to know that as to
our city the quarantine is geing rigidly
enforced and that there is no danger
of IN infected person getting into the
city. This should give our citizens a
feeling of security. But because oul
officers have been so fortunate thus
far they must not feel that they car
relax the least bit in their diligence
1t is a long time yet before frost. and
there must be no let up until the yel'
low fever hoists it's white flag.

Especial to The Messenger.)
Goldsboro, N. c., September 5.-The
board of aldermen held a meeting last
night at which it was exepcted that
the petition for ar election on saloons
would be presented In consequence
there was a large crowd present, bat
they were disappointed as nothing was
said about any petition. The question
Is one that has been engaging the at
tent,on of a large number of people
for the past several days. 1t is learn
ed today that rse anti-prohibitionists
have ecure h -euuired number of
names to their petition and that the
board of aldermen wiz, hold a special
meeting on Friday nig4 to consider
the petition.
The result of the petition which was
presented to the board of aldermen in
Raleigh has caused the a~nti-prohibi-
tionists here to thoroughly examine
their petition and it is very probable
that when they present their paper II
will contain a sufficient number of legai
voters. A number of business men
who are dissatisfied with trade con1i-
lions for the past several months have
enlisted their energies to defeat The
prohibitionists and this fact, coupled
with the dissatisfaction existing among
the laboring class, is causing The
saloon advocates to take a cheerful
view of the outcome of the election.
provided one is ordered by the board
of aldermen. There are nine mem
bers of the board of aldermen and the
saloon advocates claim to have a ma
jority on the board. The threat TO
publish the names of the signers does
not seem to have deferred very many.

OH. IN BUxCoNBE
Options Taken and Boring tn Heg.n.
Statement Of an Expert.

It was learned late this afternoon
that r. s Rowland. Of the Ashcyiile
and Craggy Mountain Railroad Com
!an and lessee of the Atlantic and
North Carolina railroad. was backing
the oil operations IN woolsey and that
eases on certain lands in the woolsev
section were TODAY being secured. Oil
leases viii be tlken or all the lands
c~ntaina5le in the Woolsey section.
The promoters Of the oil wells agree
to bore for oil ard tha. If the fluid
is obtained the persons OH whose land
the oil is found will receive one eighth
OF the output. ". M..Anderson. the oil
exDcrt. who is conducting the investi-
cations and who will prosecute the
boring of wells says that he will have
oil within two months.
The pcople of Woolsey. the northern
suburb of AshevilIe. arc again becom-
'Eg excited over the indications OF oil
in that section. Several Of the older
residents Of n place have for ear
commended that there was Oil ind:ca-
tons on the surface of the branches
and springs but little attention has
feen Maid the matter. A few DAYS
ago w. NJ. Anderson. an expert oil
man min7ral DrosDcctor. Of Pencsyl-
Tania. came here to investigate alleged
gold deposits in Woolsey. Mr.. Ander-
son found Indications of gold along
the Colonel Lone branch, but what
interested the PENNSYLVANIA more
than the finding of gold were the in
dications that oil existed in that sec
ton H. found such strong evidences
Of nil that he droppcd his gold pros
pecting and went searching for the
oily nuld. 1t is learned that Mr.. An
derson is negotiating with certain par
ties looking to the securing OF options
and the further investigations of the
lands and the statement is made by
residents Of that section that Sonte-
thing is more than likely to come Of
thu Investigations. Mr.. Anderson. who
};S; been engaged in oil Prospecting
for 40 years. avs that he has never
tefOr" seen such strong evidences Of
oil OF the surface Of the ground and
On tho streams and that he is positive
there is an oil strata not more thar 200
feet below the surface of the ground.
He explained that oil will gather on

When scnarated by running the fin
ser through the surface will remain
apart. but hat natural oil will in,mc-
diateIy close back. INVESTIGATIONS in
Woulscy show Ia the Oil is natural
and does not come from mineral sub
stances.

was found that oil gathered on the

That was a bad bargain Emperor
William made fifteen years ago with
his Grandmother, whereby he traded
her the s~uzerainty over Zazibar on the
east coast of Africa for the island OF
Helgoland, lying Off the mouth of the
river Elbe. If the latter continues to
sink into the sea at the rate 1t has
been disappearing for the last few
years he will have nothing to show for
his purchase. 1t is nearly a mile
smaller in circumference than it was
at the time of the transfer. Engineers

THE ASSAULT ON JUDGE WARD.

A citizen Of Moth Carolina. ex-roa5-

Iarently ridiculous sentence on i Han
for homicide a good pommelng III the
sweets We hope the force CT the ex-
annie will prove salutary In North
Carnrina. hut We would not ike 10 gee
the precedent followed.
The above is from the Florence
Times. and it is the only newspaper
on the affair. so Ear as we
have seen which makes light OF that
unfortunate occurrence. The otner
nress comments have been in very d,1-
ferent tone. All treat it seriously ana
most of them are outspoken in their
denunciation of McCown's conduct.
The question as to whether Judge
Ward imposed too light or, even d
ridiculous sentence on the
convicted of killing McCown's nepne"
has nothing to do with this case.
McCown committed a o outra-
I-oooh nj ~
acting in contempt Of the entire judi
ciary OF our state. His ofense was not
against Judge Ward alone, but against
one of the most sacred features of SEA
BILE government-the independence
and freedom from influence by intim1-
dation of the judges of u hlgnec
courts. If our judges are to be made
liable to personal attack by every
courthouse bully who chooses to differ
with them as to their decisions from
the bench what can be expected to re-
suit? Good men cannot be induced to
accept judgeships and the administra-
tion of the law will fall into the hands
of men who will cover before these
men, and soon, either through fear OF
for gain, become corrupt and partisan
in heir decisions.
We DO not believe in placing despo-
tic power in the hands of our judges.
but the law should protect them in the
discharge ct their duty with greater
care tina any other class of officials.
More depends Upon their acting with
honesty and fairness and with free
dom from outside influences, whether
of faVoritism for ~litigants, OF desire for
personal gain or of fear of bodily
harm, than with men holding any
other position. 1t will be a sad day
for North Carolina when it is estab-
lished by the court of last resort that
it is the law of the state that such
an attack at that made upOn Judge
Ward by McCown is a no more seri-
Gus Offense than an ordinary assault
by one citizen upon an other. That
is the contention of the defedant in
this habeas corpus proceedings he has
sued out and which is to be argued be-
fore the full supreme court. II that
be the law, the sooneh it is changed
the better it will be, even if it has TO
be done by an amendment to the
constitution. An attack upon a
judge during a term of court or even
in vacation time because of any deci-
sion or holding by him as judge should
be made an offense of higher grade
than a similar assault on an ordinary
person or upon a judge about matters
not connected with the duties of his
Office.

~MoNDFIEL SOARING.

A fifty-foot ledge of phenomenally rich
ore has been struck in the Quartzite mine,
owned by Albert s. Watson's Diamond
field Gold Mining Company. While no
assays have been made known, it is said
to be one of the very richest strikes yet
made in the Goldfeld country. The inn
mense volume and high average of the
ore makes 1t so and there are plenty of
mining men who are now declaring that
the Quartzite is the best mine in the lot,
says the Tonopah Sur.
The strike is in the Reilly, Krise, Poak
and McKane lease. 1t is believed that
John McKane had a tip" when he re-
Gently bought a half interest i'm the lease.
1t is now the purpose of the lessees to
rush the shaft dow to the ~ foot level,
the present strike being at the 100 foot
level. If the same body of ore is struck
in the lower workings, as 1t surely will
be, the value of this mine will be among
the greatest in the world.
Diamondfeld stock has been to about
80 cents for some time, and was often as
low as q. Yesterday it went to 81 cents
at one bound and buyers are after IL at
40 cents cash and AZ buyer ninety" Fur
ther developments in this mine, 1t is con-
fidently believed, will soon place the stock
at par or above.

Depth Of Planting Bulbs.

Bulbs have q great faculty Of adjust

this respect they are almost human
One thing that makes the bulb 30 easy
to handle is that it is, SO to speak, fully
grown before the gardener gets it. and
the sole object he has is to put out the

to get new stock each year, rushing the
bulb for all it is worth aud throwing it

above ground just as we'll, whether deep
or shallow. Byacinths do not, however,
and, planted too deeply, will develop
small, stunted leaves. The reason for
this need not be discussed now, how
ever. The crocus is easy, too. bat has
q tendency 10 work up nearer TO the sur

method Of reproduction, and at last il
reverses the process and sends out
