Especial to News and Observer
Durham n. c., Oct. "a negro
woman by the name of Della Jenkins,
aged about 80 years, met horrible
death i'm the western part of the city
late yesterday afternoon She was
burned in feaful manner at / O'Clock
in the afternoon, and death resulted
ut 6:15 o'clock last night. Her burns
were such that a great deal of the
skin on her body slipped off before
death. The woman was using gaso-
line in stove when there was loud
explosion and the woman was covered
in Aamcs. She ran to a bed, jumped
unon 1T and covered uD. The bed
clothing caught fire. this fired the bed
aud the house was saved With trouble
The clothing on the bed made the fire
such that the woman was simply
roasted before she could be saved. 1t
seems that there had been fire in the
stove earlier that day, but that there
was no fire when she opened it and
began to prepare for FIRE Using the
gasoline caused sufficient gas to ig
mite and the fearful results followed.
l he remains of the woman will be in
tcrrcd tomorrow afternoon at 1
o'clock.

Important Bulletin Issued by Agricul-
turaI Department

The State Agricultural Department
yesterday issued a bulletin on Hand
ling the Apple Crop" prepared and
edited by H. Harold Hume. State HOr-
ticulturist
Mr.. Hume says in his introduction:
There is no region in the United
States where better apples can be
grown than in the mountain region
of Nestern North Carolina. The fruit
is unsurpassed in appearance, in color,
in edible quality and in keeping quail
ity. Their keeping quality is unsur-
passed if rightly handled. but too fire.
ouently they receive such treatment
and reach the market in such condi-
ton. so covered With spots and bruises.
so poorly selected. that they will not
keep. &
1.-The natural markets Of Western
North Carolina apples are the towns
and cities in the region east and south
OF the district in which they arc grown,
yet many of these markets are closed
to our apples, because of the way in
which they are prepared for shipment,
and the way in which they are
shipped. Apple dealers in these same
cities prefer to send hundreds of miles
away to Western New York and other
apple districts where the growing.
picking and packing of apples are we'll
understood. and procure their supply
of apples that will keep until they arc
used. to procuring a nearby product
that will spoil on their hands.
"These things are not as they should
be. and our growers must awake to
the fact that. if the apple region is
ever TO come into the prominence that
it merits-the place is its own for
the taking-the product must be put
up in first-class shape, we'll grown,
well picked, we'll graded, we'll packed,
marketed i'm inviting shape.
The object to be held in view in
preparing any fruit for market is to
grow that fruit as nearly perfect as
possible and then to put it in the
hands of the consumer in all its fresh
ness. as nearly like what it was as it
grew on the plant as possible. And to
do this, the methods used by many
Western North Carolina apple grow
ers need to be radically changed.
"These changes are necessary for
two reasons: first, because it will bring
more in money returns to the indi-
vidual grower, and second, the repu-
tation of the region as an apple-pro-
.ducing district will receive the credit
that it merits.
THE object of this bulletin is SIM
ply to contribute some information
which may assist in bringing about
these essential changes in methods.

EDITORIAL.

The continental press is now hurl-
ing its accusatiors against the coz
tumacious functionaries. it confirms
the right and justice of our campa-
|igns, puts its stamp of approval on our
present attitude. and lifts the ban of
accommodation and the stigma which
accused us of being systematic rebels
towards everything American and the
declared enemy of whatever came
from the United States.
We lamented the injustice Of this
accommodation not becuase it de-
prived us of the material benefits
granted to the parishioners Of the bu-
|reaucratic church, but because it was
inspired in the most outrageous of fall
sites, as is now fully proved by its ha-
wing fallen into complete contempt.
AS we were not mistaken before, as
we were not carried away by passion
in our complaints and protests and as
our attacks were just, our present at
titude should carry weight and inspire
confidence VIXEN we demand that Gre
dence and Importance be attached to
our attacks on the successors of those
|functionaries who have left such un-
savory odors.
There are irremediable failures, and
to this class belongs the imported bur
eaucracy, irrevocably united to ameri-
can colonization.
This is the fundamental cause of
the failure.
If is bacanse the new nation, with
the men it has, cannot successfully go
vern Latin race
Bad officials make the disaffection
more pronounced, though it world al
WAYS exist to greater or less degree,
because this island was not offered
good american government, but self
governme Mt, constituted by natives.
It is necessary that haste should
| be made to fulfil this Pr m S e,
because after seeing and applauding
the admirable cinematograph in
"Harpers Weekly" it will be impos-
sible to deceive any one with the
linterminab1e twaddle about Porto
Rico's lack of prepaystson for self
government.
With such teachers as we have
had and with those who still remain;
with examples like those that have
been given us and those we are even
now being given; with those lessons
and models of administrative morality
being served up to us almost daily, we
can only receive worthless teachings.
People educated by such teachers
have of necessity to be badly taught;
for this reason we ask, and shall con-
ltirue asking. for the removal of those
instructors, so that the places they oc-
cupy may be given to those who have
more proved fitness and more legit-
innate right to fill them.
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1905-10-28

An important American periodical,
'Harpers Weekly; is publishing the
history of the functionaries with an
exactness of detail truly remarkable
This periodical merits the same
lgratitude extended to "The Journal
Of Commerce." for its exact and
honest way of showing up our affairs
and making known in the mother
country the causes of our complaints.
The imported functionaries are
painted true to life in the articles
appearing in "Harpers Weekly
The picture is cruelty exact.
The functionaries who belong to
the Hunt regime, and some of the more
recent brood, appear in those striking
articles with all their sinister charac-
|ieristics, in their aspect of failures,
and worthless members OF a consreg
alton without standing.
So rarely has the truth been stated
about the, matters which are now
discussed with such admirable good
sense and justice by the conservative
and Influential papers of the mother
country. that we are surprised and
filled with enthusiasm and delight,
like that produced by distant music
heard in the silent watches of the
might. :.
How the farce of redemptionism
has been destroyed. How the statues
|of the superior beings have fallen
from their pedestals of clay! They
require no pushing nor the least
effort.
It is now the American press. the
papers of the mother country, that are
saying the same things that we have
so often said and which won for us the
title of anti american and for which
the reverend congregation wished to
excommunicate us.
We made no effort to remove the
stigma placed on us by the highest
priests down to the lowest acolytes
who felt for us the most cordial and
profound dislike. The title of anti
american never caused us any loss Of
sleep.
We we'll knew that it was only a
refrain, ridiculous chorous chanted
by the clients of the budget in order
to defend their official sinecures.
We continued imperturbable, sere-
ne; suffering reprisals on one hand ano
ingratitude on the other. in the hope
that some day we would be listened
to and our WORDS would be echoed BY
those writer's and journalists who hat
at last become convinced of theil
truth and justice and who could MOI
be termed emit american by the INN
ates of the imbecile hospital wher
their deformities, irregularities ant
laziness were held up to public view
We are beginning to see the con
Summation of that comfortin hope.
