SENATOR GORMAM
DIED SUDDENLY
A Life Marked by Earnest Deter
minatiOn and Laudable Ambi-
ton and Crowned With
Success.

Washington, June 4.-Arthur
Pne German, United States SEN
ator from Maryland, died sud-
denly at 9:O5 this morning.
While he had been i'll for many
months he had shown improve
ment lately. Heart trouble was
the immediate cause of his death.
Mr.. German first took seat in
the senate in 1881 and served
continuous for about eighteen
years. Nearly all that time he
was the leader of his party. Dur
ing Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
tiOn a break occurred between
the president and Mr.. German,
and to this is attributed the SEN
ator's defeat a few years later.
As soon as the Democrats retain
ed control of Maryland Mr.. Cor
man was reelected to the senate.
MIR. German was born in How
ard county, Maryland, March II,
1889. He came of Irish Presby-
terian stock. When a boy he
enjoyed only such educational
advantages as the public schools
of his locality could supply. In
1852 he was appointed page in
the senate. The youth attracted
the attention of Stephen A.
Douglas of Illinois, who eventu-
ally made him his secretary and
confidential friend. At the out
break of the war he supported
the forcible suppression of the
rebellion. He remained in the
service of the senate, advancing
step by step, until he occupied
the position of postmaster. After
his dismissal from the senate for
following the lead of President
johnson, he was appointed a col
iectof of internal revenue, which
Office he held until the incoming
of the Grant administration.
German in 1884 was a Cleye- |
land man and managed Cleve-
lands campaign. But soon after
President Cleveland took office
there vas a falling out between
the two and ever after that Mr.. |
German was Cleveland's politi-
cal foe. AT the memorable st. |
Louis convention it was German |
who steered the platform clear

the subsequent Ds,:a DocEaSG ma
tiOnal conventions Gormanh 4 a. W.
ed as a possible presidential can
but each time he missed
his goal, and sometimes as it
seemed, by very narrow mar
gin.
Senator German was ever a
better politician than statesman.
He was not an orator in any
sense of the word, but few had
keener knowledge of the cogs of
machinery than he, and
none was better able to manage
campaign. By his political
he was denOminated a
'poilsman of spOilsmen, as Sena-
or Hanna was.

RIOT At cAMAMa
Race War Between Americans and

FL PasO, Texas, June LA

Mexican miners at w. @. Green
great cooper mining camp al
Cananea, Sonora, Mexico, Georgl
Mcdonald and his brother ar,
dead, ten Mexican police have
been shot, the lumber yards o.
which Mcdonald was manager
have been dynamited by tht
rioters who control the town
Mexican troops are being rushed
in from HermOsillO by Gov. Ysa.
bel and the Rurales under Capt.
KOsperlitzky are being hurried
in.
The news Of the riot has reach.
ed NacO on the border line be.
tween Arizona and the State Of
Sonora and three hundred Amer
leans armed with rifles have col
lected and are demanding admis-
sion to Mexico in order to pro-
ceed by train to Uananea and aid
the Americans.
Anumber of private residences
of Americans have been dyna-
mited by the rioters and the
family of Col. Greene has been
sent on a special train to Naco.
Col. Greene himself remained at
the camp and is making every
effort to aid the Mexicans in put
ting down the riot.
Practically every policeman in
the town was killed by the riot
ers. 1t is reported the Amer
leans have banded together and
are doing everything possible to
protect the miners as we'll as the
remaining American homes.
Something like 5000 men are
employed in the mines by Col.
Greene and the majority of these
are Mexicans. The cause of the
strike is yariously stated in the
dispatches from Cananea which
have reached here.
Latest advices declare that the
American miners are now in con-
troll Of the town and they. mad
dened by the strike of the Mex
leans who tanked up ON tOQuilla,
today being payday, are now
shooting down all who resist.
The Mexicans have collected
together in the east end Of the ne
town and q desperate battle is
expected.
According to dispatches which
have reached here from Bisbee,
q special train of border fighters
has left there and Douglas and
the force at Naco has also crossed
the line and is spending toward
Cananea. The com binatiOn of
these Americans. which number
altogether about 400, with the
Americans in the town, it is
thought will give the control of
the situation to the Americans. |

DEATH VERY CLOSE
King and Queen Of Spain Narrow
ly Escape Being Killed BY
Bomb.

Madrid, May 31.-The public
rejOicings over the marriage Of
King Alfonso and Princess Vic
toria had a terribly dramatic
sequel at 2:3O o'clock this after
noon as a bomb thrown from an
upper window exploded with
deadly effect near the coach oc-
cupied by the King and Queen.
PrOvidentially King Alfonso and
Victoria escaped by an electric
wire DETECTING the bomb, but at
least sixteen persons, most of
them of the personal and military
escort and spectators, were kill
ed. Many others were injured.
The explosion occurred just as
the royal couple were about to
enter the palace. The route of
the cOrtege had been diverted
from Arsenal street to Mayor
street, owing to popular desire.
The procession had last passed
through Mayor street and was
about to turn into the esplanade
leading to the palace when an
explosion shook the buildings in
the vicinity, stunning a large
number Of people and throwing
the cortege into inextrieable
confusion.
The royal coach was brought
to a sudden stop by the shock,
officers and soldiers of the escort
falling to the ground. The screams
of the terrified multitude min
gled with the gFoans of the dy-
ing. 1t was Immediately seen
that the royal coach was intact
except as it had been damaged
by flying splinters. King AL
fonso alighted and assisted
Queen Victoria down. They en-
tered another coach and were
driven swiftly to the palace.
All this happened so quickly
that the people away from the
immediate vicinity were not
aware of the tragedy and con-
tinued to acclaim their sover-
eigns. Soon there appeared the
royal coach with two
horses missing and the -0t&&eeFEss
spattered with blood, several of |
them bleeding from wounds. |
The grOOms and drivers looked
deathly pale in the spangled uni
forms. Then came a boy shout
ing that a bomb had been thrown
It the King.
The appearance of the King
and Queen in another coach
brought out delirious ovations.
The fact was recognized that the
'Overeigns had been spared.
In the meantime the scene of
5he tragedy presented a horrible
spectacle with dead men and
lOrses lying about literally torn
o pieces. Intense excitement
Prevailed, the mob invading the
streets while the guards sought
o maintain order and block the
approaching streets. The bodies
we're wrapped up in blankets and
emoved on litters, while the
wounded were taken to hospitals
n ambulances. The pavement
vas covered with blood and the
Ipper stories Of the building
learest was spattered with it.
The place from which the
'omb was thrown is q boarding
lOuse. The chamber from which
he missile was hurled was taken
lay % by q man from Barcelona
living the name Of Duran. When
he police surrounded the house
he man attempted to flee, but
Tas captured. Another man es-
aped over the roof of the house. Z

PREPARE FOR WINTER.

The news from Waynesvllle
and Ashville this week that snow fell
for hours and was "shoe mouth deep"
-eminds Us that winter is coming on.
If the wood shed and coal bins have
been neglected it will be we'll to turn
attention to them soon. And with
the frequent predictions that the COM
ing winter is to be hard one, tins
preparation for it cannot be TOO
thorough. There Is nothing more
comforting than to sit down at night
by the fire, while the sleet pops aud the
snow drifts without, and know that
the wood is plentiful or the coal Is well
provided.

TOWNSHIP ORGANIZAII ON.

The work of the Southern Cotton
Association losses none Of its import
ance with the passing of the days.
We have no idea when there Will be
call by president Moore for county and
township mes tings; but when the call
shall como 1t will be highly important
for the townships to show up good Or
SANITATION. This is true for all the
counties In the State, but we speak
more especially for Halifax county.
The place Tor the best and most et-
fective organization is out in the town
sbips. Unless the States are organ
lied there can be no national organiza-
ton unless the counties are organized
the States will be unable to keep up
organization ard unless the townships
are kent organized the county organi-
zation wll! amount to nothing.
Then, the whole thing rests with
the townships, after all. With good
organization in the townships 1t Will
not be hard to keep the county work
in good condition. SO let every town
ship in Halifax county be we'll organ
lied at once before the call for coun.
ty meeting. We do not mean that the
townships shall 60 oyer again the or
ganiz alton that was effected year ago
but let the officers then elected in thu
townships see to it that the interest II
kept up. This done we'll and it vii
he easy to keep the county work il
good shape.

MIR. ROOSEVELT WILL NOT RUN
AGAIN.

Richmond Dispatch.
Washington D. c., November IL
1t is stated on good authority which
cannot be questioned, that President
Roosevelt, on the eye of his departure
for Panama, reiterated in the most
unequlvocaI terms, his determination
not to accept, under any circumstances,
a nomination to the presidency in 1908
Mr.. Roosevelt did not mince words, but
made it plain and unequivocal that no
combination Of circumstances could
induce him to become candidate for
reelection.
Several prominent public men we're
present, having called to spend the
evening, and the Presidents declaration
came while they we're discussing the
next Republican nominee. So far as
tame was concerned President Roose-
welt is certain he can achieve no more
than he has alredy acquired, and then
he thinks there is the chance that the
popular esteem he now enjoys might
reach the vanishing point, as happened
in the case OF President Cleveland be-
fore he concluded his second tern.
HUGHES OR TAFT.
Officials OF the administration do not
now believe the President is a possibil.
I.y for 1908. Secretary Taft and Charles
E. Hughes are believed to be the favor
ties in the running, with the Secretary
OF War slightly In the lead. The prof
ability of President Roosevelt's aspiring
to a seat in the Senate from New Yorl
is stronger. Ha has said he would es
tenn it an honor to occupy a seat in tn
Senate, and he has control OF the ma
chlnery in New York with which Sens
tors are made.
Senator Cullom, of Illinois, who Is il
Washington to-day, declares that Presl
dent Roosevelt will be renominated ur
less he refuses positively to allow tn
party to name him. The President
policies make his denomination absolu
tely necessary, said Senator Cullon
but shonld he refuse, the Senate
thought Speaker Cannon the next be-
man.

Over One Hundred Indictments.

The Spring term of the Inde- pendence county Grand Jury for 1906 is now a thing of the past, having adjourned Wednesday. Its nine days labor now remains to be seen as to the good, if any has been accomplished. It is an impossibility for l6 men to get together and do the work they have done in less time, with less cost to the county. Out of 92 witnesses examined 100 indict- ments were found, and if 65 per cent. of these are sustained be- fore the court a considerable profit to the county W i'll be real ized. It has cost the county out side of the service for the officers in getting witnesses. $l51.25 and when this cost is considered 1t dwindles into insignificence when courbated to the good that will no doubt come for the better merr of our citizenship and to society in general. -BatesVllle Guard.
