'H GREENSBORO, x. C., July 10- Secretary of War Taft last night, be- fore q meeting of the North Carolina Republicans on the eve of their state convention, delivered n speech that was generally anticipated as the open ing gun of the congressional campaign of 1906. The speech dealt with current political questions and. opening with advice to the rank and file of the party in North Carolina and the south, par ticularly referred to the achievements of the party in the session of congress just closed.
 Secretary Taft In opening said that when he was invited 10 address the meeting the committee advised him ..that the political situation was such that if proper effort was made at the coming election 1t would be possi- ble to carry the state for the Repub- lican party The secretary added: "I believe that nothing that could happen in the politics of this country would work greater advantage to the country at large. and to the south in particular, than the breaking up Of what has been properly known as the solid south. l say this in no partisan spirit. for | am not one of those who think that this result would necessarily increase the probability of the continuance in pow CT Of the Republican party.

Denaturized alcohol will probably become another great product of the Southern States. It is claimed that cotton-seed oil machinery Is perfect ly adapted to making industrial alco- hol from the potatoe and the Char lotte Chronicle says that Columbia oil people are to make the experiment. If this is successfully proven, the many cotton-seed oil mills of the South, which are idle each summer season for lack of material, will be able to operate all the time ana keep their employees together. Furthermore, be- ing already equipped with the ma chinery, they will no doubt be able to manufacture the alcohol very cheaply. Farmers would also be benefited by the immense demand for potatoes that would result.

Private O. L. Price of the marine corps at Manila has kicked up, a row. in the navy department. Some time since Private c. w. J. Anderson of the marine corps stationed at Olon- gapo, Philippine Islands, died, and the band was ordered to play the fu- neral march. One of the pieces per formed at the service or on the re- turn from the cemetery, was Al ways in the Way" This naturally caused deal of discussion among the privates in the marine corps, who resented it as reflection on their dead comrade, and Private Price wrote a very creditable poem enti- tied Tt Sounds Little Awkward Always in the Way" The poem reached this country and was widely published and led to an investigation by the navy department. The report of the investigation has been re- ceived and, according to the board, while the music has an inappropriate name, the slow and solemn rythm of the song was just suited to the occa- sion. The chorus is written in waltz time and there will doubtless be oth- CTS of musical tendencies who will dispute the claim that it was "just suited to the occasion" At the time it was charged that an officer or dered the drum major to play this tune and he protested, but was com pelled to carry out the order. Ofi- cers in the war department are of the opinion that the wrong folio ot music was taken to the funeral and that the drum major did the best he could in selecting an appropriate piece out of rag-time folio. At any event the board reports it was the best the band could play anyway | But while the band is exonerated from blame, Private Price will be tried by court martial for violating the regulations of the marine corps in causing 10 be published scuriIious verses about another branch of the service. It appears that Prices ef. forts have not been confined to this occasion as before that he frequently put out verses condemning things ir
 the service which did not meet hii approval.
