TELLS GRAVES TO PITCH IN
Senator Bacon Will Not Quit His Public
Duties to Harangue With Aspirant
for His Seat.

The correspondence between Sen
ator Bacon and Hon. John Temple
Graves in which the latter challenged
Senator Bacon to publicly debate
throughout the state the disfranchise-
ment proposition has been mad public.
In his letter to Mr.. Graves Senator
Bacon said that he could not accept
Mr.. Graves challenge without inter
ferring with his attendance on the SEN
ate session. Senator Bacon is opposed
to the Acknowledgement proposition.
In declining to accept Mr.. Graves
challenge he said:
His Record Is Public.
1.-THE record of my official acts as
senator is the legitimate subject mat
ter for fullest discussion. would re-
gret to embarrass you by the fact of
my absence, and l beg that you will
feel at entire liberty to thus discuss 1T
as freely as if | was present with you
on the platform. Should you do so,
and should be so unfortunate as to
then fall under the public expression
of your disapproval, l am sure that
will do you no wrong in emitting to be
present to reply to the criticisms and
COMBINATIONS to which [ would be
thus unhappily subjected.
Nor would my presence be necessa-
ry to either affirm or deny the correct
ness of any statement relative to my
public record, for it is to be remem-
bered that every official act of mine in
the senate during the past eleven
years, whether of speech or vote, is in
print in the congressional record, and
is readily accessible to you.
An Open Book.
"What | have there done, what /
have there said, during all that time,
is an open book to be read of all men
who desire That it is a record in
which there is much of imperfection is
not to be questioned. That it is a rec
ord in which mistakes have been made
is most probably true. But as to that
record, in spite of such imperfections
and of such mistakes, relying upon the
sustaining consciousness of my loyal
ty to the interests of those who have
honored me beyond my merits in send
ing me to stand for them in that high
arena, shall ever be found ready to
answer to my great constituency
whenever the proper occasion shall
arise to demand it..

STORIES OF ROCKEFELLER'S
VISIT TO BROWNSVILLE
The Money King and Mrs Rockefeller were inc Oe'i'0i
of Several Mild Sensations During lher Recent
Stav in the South Georgia Resort

The Baptists and the pickaninnies,
if no one else, were sorry when the
Rockefellers fitted. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Rockefeller dressed very plainly
The latter was modest, rather
"dowdy" woman, who wore a bonnet
of the vintage of the previous year.
Rockefeller was liberal, but objected
to being gouged. A livery stable
keeper thought he would be an easy
mark. For the trap and team that
the magnate used every day for twelve
DAYS he demanded the modest stipend
of $500, more than the outfit was worth.
The oil king refused to pay it and the
liveryman threatened to sue him.
"Sue and be ID" said Mr.. Rookie
Teller. "If | had all the money in the
world I would not pay you more than
$780," The Iiveryman took the sixty,
and says he was glad to get that.
These and many other tales not so
true cluster around the visits of the
great fnancier to the city among the
pines. His visits served to advertise
the town and to give the people some
thing to talk about.

BIG STOCK FOOD swNDLE.
Wheat, Bran, Etc, Favored and Sold
at from $500 TO 1000 Ton.

Wheat, Bran, Etc, Favored and Sold
at from $500 to $4,000 Ton.
The Raleigh Progressive Farmer
sounds note of warning to the farm
ers of the south about what is called
the stock food swindle. 1t says that
one of the most outrageous frauds now
being perpetrated upon the American
farmer is that of prepared stock foods
common meal, bran, ETC., with lit
tie cheap sulphur, salt, EPSON salts,
pepper, saltpeter, ETC., added to
change the taste and the mixture
hardly more valuable than ordinary
ship stuff put bp in flaming packages,
advertised in big illustrated ads in
farm papers, and sold to gullible
farmers at from $3.50 to $500 a ton.
The Progressive Farmer says further,
that some time ago the chief southern
contributor to one of the farm papers
most largely circulated in North Car
DINA and adjourning states, wrote an
exposure of the whole miserable fraud
and sent it to his paper. The reply
came back: The Blank Stock Feod
Company pays US $4,000 year for
advertising, and we would lose it if
we were to print your letter. Please
don't insist" 1t is quite proper that
while the patent medicine nostrums
are getting drubbing, the stock food
humbugs should be exposed, and this
The Progressive Farmer proposes to
do. If the frauds are Of the nature
complained of, we hope the exposures
will be OF nature as to protect the
farmers against them.-Charlotte

10000 BALES BURNED.

Loss of Nearly a Million Caused by De-
structiOn of Mississippi Compress.
The Mississippi Compress, at jack
son, with $500 bales of cotton, was de-
stroyed by fire, entailing a loss of
$3.50, 900, with insurance of about two
thirds that sum.
The origin of the fire is not known,
but when it was discovered by the com
press employees it had gained great
Roadway, and when the fire department
arrived it was beyond control. The
iremen directed their efforts to saving
the surrounding property, which they
succeeded in doing. The compress
plant was worth $3.50, 600.
The largest loser was the hnoop,
Frerich & Co., of Liverpool, Eng,
who had 1, 100 bales in the compress at
the time of the fire.

Question of Names.

By what name shall the proposed
united church be known? The Presby-
terrain, the Methodist and the Congre-
gationalist bodies will be in the church
If the project should go through, and
none of these churches can afford to
be entirely forgotten, says the Toronto
Mail. One idea would be to call the
church the MISREPRESENTATION. But
If it should be considered desirable to
give the Presbyterians the first consid-
Grafton why not call it the Presbymeth-

MANS REMARKABLE NERVE
WAS TERRIBLY MANGLED BY A
RAILROAD TRAIN AT ALBANY.
Left for Montezuma Three Days After
ELosing Arm and Leg and Getting
Big Holes Punched in His Body.
From the Albany Herald.

From the Albany Herald
Mr.. w. H. Parker, who was run
hver by a switch engine of the Allan
tic Coast Line railway last Saturday
night, was taken to his home in Mon
tezuma last night, accompanied by his
wife.
Parker was sleeping on the track a
few feet on the other side of the A. G.
L. trestle. He was found several min
utes after the accident, and taken to
nearby shelter. 1t was found to be
necessary to amputate his left arm
just below the shoulder, and the left
leg just below the thigh. In addition
to these injuries he sustained wound
in the temple and both lips were split.
That Parker survived these injuries
is considered remarkable, but the for
titude he displayed is even more unu-
sual The following is a conversation
overheard by a Herald man last night,
the speaker being a railroad man, and
one in a position to know the facts.
He was talking to several friends:
"Well, that man who was run over
left tonight for his home. There
wasn't but about half of what came
here, but the half that was left was
made of the proper stuff, all right. l
had no more idea that man would live
than [ had that he would fly.
"Here, now, in just three or four
days after his leg and arm were am
putated he gets out of bed and goes
home on the train. | never saw the
like in my life before.
81 saw the man just short while
after he was run over, before any ply
stefan had seen him. He was in a
most frightful condition. His left arm
and leg were just hanging on to his
body by what seemed but threads. He
looked up at me, told me to get his
bottle out of his pocket and give him
drink That's all. Later the oper-
alton was performed. He was as cool
as q cucumber.
"Well, sir, the next day after it
happened the man was actually turn
ing over in his bed. He never finched
or complained but once. When his
leg was cut off, and put by his side,
he complained that his foot was hurt
ing so it would kill him. The doctor
merely took the foot and turned it
over, and he felt all right again.
Whenever a mans foot or any other
part of his anatomy hurts after it is
cut off it must be moved or turned
over, am told.
ST honestly believe if he had been
given a peg-leg and crutch he could
have walked to the depot tonight.

THE JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE
Peculiar Qualities of a Huber That
 Grows on the Roots of the Sunflower.

Most young folks in the country are familiar with the sweet. crisp, juicy tubers known as artichokes. These. says an article on "Nature and Sci ence," in St. Nicholas, grow on the roots of the sunfiower known to bot anists as Helianthus tuberosis, and are commonly called Jerusalem art;- chokes. Under this common name you will find the tubers offered for sale in most seed catalogues.
 The plants are easily grown in all most any kind of soil. At first glance the tubers have somewhat the appear ance of potatoes, but unlike them they may be eaten raw like radishes, or they may be pickled or cooked. Re- cipes are to be found in all cook books.
 These artichokes are entirely differ- ent (yet rot far distant in botanical way) from the globe artichckes which are grown in California, and perhaps elsewhere exclusively for their edible flower buds. These are never eaten raw. Even when cooked they are rather tasteless. Personally, I think they are not to be compared, as an acceptable vegetable, with the Jerusa- lem artichoke, sometimes even now found in old-fashioned gardens.
