- New York, November 13: A fight
between VIM. ]. Bryan and w. r
Hearst for the Democratic presidential
nomination in 1908 is now on. Cheer
ed as leader, Hearst was the guest
Of honor at a banquet at Delmonico's
last night. Many prominent Demo-
Gratis were present, besides the sue
cessful candidates on the state ticket.
The dominant note Of the speeches was
that the fight Hearst Is making against
the trusts has only begun. Hearst
pledged himself to continue the fight
The successful nominees declared they
would use every effort to follow
Hearst's principles In the administration
Of their oitices. Within few blocks, the
Commercial Travellers Antitrust lea
que was holding a meeting planning to
launch Bryan's candidacy. While
Hearst's failure to win out In the New
York gubernatorial election has weak
ened him, he is still a formidable figure
in Democratic national politics. His
great wealth, which he does not hesi-
bitions, and the power Of the largely
circulated newspapers he controls.
makes him a factor which must be
reckoned with. He Is In better posi-
tion to make an aggressive fight for
the Democratic presidential nomina-
ton than anybody else, except Bryan
The Nebraskan Is weakened by the
record of his two defeats and by his
radical views on railroad legislation,
which have estranged from him the
solid Democratic south. The dtsor-
yanization now prevailing in the ma
tional Democracy. 1t is felt, will make
II possible for Hearst to accomplish his
purpose and force the next national
convention Of the party to nominate
him. Many Democrats who are not
enthusiastic over Bryan feel that only
by working for his nomination can they
head off the aspirations Of Hearst,
whose candidacy is really formidable
because of his wealth and his newspa-
rer backing. So Bryan will receive
the support of many who regard him
simply as lesser evil than Hearst
and who feel certain Ef one Is not NOM
mated in 1908 the other will be. The
fight between Bryan and Hearst Is ex-
pected to be hot from now on. The
south will be the field where the fight
will be hottest, as each realizes that
without the support of this section he
cannot be nominated. Hearst counts
IN New York's support.

THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION.
Important Subject Considered at Nash.
willie Confarence.


Vile Conference.
The annual meeting Of the Southern
immigration and Quarantine confer
ence was held in Nashville, Tennessee
this week from Monday and Wednes-
day inclusive and the resulting inter-
change of ideas promises future prac-
tical benefit.
The conference was called to order
by Governor John I. Cox Of Tennessee
who, in his opening address touched
the negro question as follows:
THE problem must be settled by the
south, but the aid and sympathy Of
the north is essential. If they will not
help u.s." continued the governor, IF
they will not repeal the 14th and 18th
amendments to the constitution, then
let us here resolve that we will write
in the fundamental law Of every south
ern state, a guarantee to the negro for
protection of life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness, but forever denying
to the vicious and ignorant all politi-
cal rights" (Applause.)
The most important speech OF the
occasion was probably that Of Govern

RlDDLEo BY A POSSE.
Asheville Desperate Surrounded and
Shot to Pieces.

Shot to Pieces.
A negro supposed to be VIII Har-
ris, was surrounded by a posse Of sew
eral hundred men near F1etcher's a
suburb Of Asheville yesterday morning
and killed. The negro was armed
with repeating rifle and with his
back against a tree defended himself
as best he could, firing three shots and
wounding two Of the attacking party
before he was killed. He had been pur-
sued all Of two nights and day, and
was pretty well run down when
caught. All the essential facts in the
affair are pretty well comprehended in
the following:
A negro claiming to be VIII Har-
ris, the notorious Mecklenburg des-
perado, ran amuck in Asheville last
Tuesday killed three negroes and two
white policemen and wounded another
white policeman. The negro began
his murderous career from the house
Of woman In the negro quarter OF
the city. Starting out with a Savage
rifle, he first encountered an inofen-
sive negro man whom he shot dead.
A few yards further he encountered
another negro whom he killed, and Ia
ter he killed still another. Then he
began shooting into houses indiscrfm-
inately. Attracted by the shooting, the
police rushed in the direction. Captain
Page and Officer Blackstock and Bal
ley were the first to reach the vicinity.
Harris saw Captain Page first and shot
him through the arm. The captain
oh n 0ff1GarA
shoot and both opened fire, but Harris
killed them both, one with bullet
through the head and the other with
a bullet through the breast. Soon af-
ter O general fire alarm was turned In
and people assembled on the scene In
large numbers. The police broke op-
en- a hardware store for arms and am
munition, and pursuit was inaugurated
as rapidly as possible. The negro was
followed over toward Biltmore; but q
binding snow storm having developed
in the meantime, the pursuit was rath,
er slow. The city Of Asheville offered
a reward Of $500 for the capture Of the
negro and the amount was increased
by private subscriptions to nearly
$4,000. Will Harris is notorious
character, who began his career IN
Mecklenburg county about six years
ago with the theft Of a lot Of chickens.
He was sent to the chaingang from
which he escaped. He was afterward
arrested on account Of various crimes
and finally sent to the North Carolina
penitentiary from which he also made
his escape. The Charlotte police do
not believe the Asheville negro Is the
same man. They say that Harris Is
capable Of any crime that he could
commit in a underhanded manner but
he would not fight In the open.

THE price records" says a writer
in the Review Of Reviews, SHOW that
the rise since 1898 has been for the
most part only recovery Of the level
Of prices prior to the panic Of 1898.
Prices suffered greater decline during
the period Of depression in the United
states than in London, and on the re-
covery have risen further. The ten
dency is still upward, but the advance
is due to natural conditions, and not
in any important degree to manipula-
tion or causes within governmental
control. To the extent that industrial
combinations and trade unions have
contributed to 1t, their efforts have
been favored by the enormous demand
for commodities and labor. The ad-
vance brings about an interesting re-
versal of the relative positions Of the
debtor and the creditor and the wage
earning and employing classes from
what they were in the period Of de-
clining prices. In 1896 the salaried
ton and the wage Garner who had reg
ular employment were gamers by the
falling prices. With the movement OF
prices reversed such persons have
been losing what they gained at that
time, unless able to obtain increased
pay. On the other hand, the salaried
and wage earning class, as whole
has been greatly benefited by the
complete employment Of all its num-
ber, by the imperative demand fol
every grade of labor, which is the chief
factor in the advancement Of wage
schedules, and by the multitude Of op-
portunities which such a period gives
for capable and deserving individuals
to better their condition.

.. LOCALIZED HORSE STEALING. Some
II the Cuban generals who have been
assisting the Americans IN disarming
and sending to their homes the insur-
rectionists In the late revolutionary
movement, appeared to have dignihed
and legalized the crime of horse steal
Ing In the most ingenious manner, ac-
cording to reports reaching the war
department.
When the rebel soldiers surrendered
their arms they were told that they
might keep their horses until they
could reach their homes. Now these
horses had been stolen mostly, and the
individual soldier was told that he
II the latter was registered according
to the Cuban law.
The circumstances made the return
impossible In most cases. In the sirst
place only a small number OF horses
In Cuba were registered, 30 no matter
how thoroughly farmer identified HIS
own horse In the possession Of one OF
these rebels, he could not obtain pos
session OF the animal for luck Of regis

took care to exchange their horses. 30

worse according to the report, by the

for them to do being to pick out a

their stock can be better and cheaper

SOMETHING must be done to bring
the people to take a proper interest In
general elections, else some day the
country will wake up to very serious
and general regret Of existing condi-
tions. Think Of officers being elected
from York county by less than six
hundred votes when the county Is cap
able Of casting nearly three thousand
votes. Such a situation seems to in
vite the capture of all Offices some
day by a small band Of voters that can
organize and remain out Of the pri-
maries for the purpose.

HARTMAN AND FIsH.-E. H Harri-
man and Stuyvesant Fish, as we un-
derstand the two men from public re-
port, having no personal knowledge Of
either, represent precisely opposite
types of high finance. Mr.. Fish is q
gentleman born and bred and actively
engaged In large business. His natur-
al instinct. and so far as we know his
unvarying practice, has been to keep
himself and his surroundings clean, to
correct abuses wherever he could, to
build up, to develop, to maintain es-
tablished business principles and to
deal fairly and openly. AS for Mr..
Hartman we need to know no more Of
him than his recent proceedings In
hiding from his partners and fellow
stockholders, the prospective dividend
In Southern Pacific. Of which road he
was president so that he might oper-
ate In the stocks. That was about as
fcrl and dishonest stroke as ever has
Been performed, In the fact that 1t was
not in violation Of nay written law,
thoroughly legal treason and betrayal
If trust makes 1t all the meaner.
We gave no credence to the story,
printed on Friday, that Mr. Hartman
mad contr1ved 10 depoSe Mr. FISH as
president OF the Illinois Central be-
cause Of the social rivalries between
rs Fish and the wives OF some other
directors. The position Of the Fish
family In New York social life Is too
secure to depend on the occupancy Of
INV business position, or even the pos
session Of money. We are inclined
to think there is something In the 9TH
sr story that Mr.. Fish's defeat was
Harrimans vengeance for. Mr.. Fish's
activity In exposing the crookedness
In the New York Mutual and turning
,ut those involved In It. This story
ends support In the obvious present
activity of Mr.. Hartman in trying to
iefeat the opposition to the adminis-
ration ticket Mutual policy-holders
may be very sure that Mr.. Hartman
1res not mean any good to them or to
the company. A man who has be-
trayed trust and used HIS position to
hoodwink and despoil his associates on
me occasion will do 1t again. Our urg-
ent advice to Mutual policy holders
who have not voted Is that they inform
themselves Of the ticket or tickets
Hartman Is supporting and vote and
work the opposite way.-Richmond

DON'T Keep Too Many Pigs.

1t is n mistake to overStock your
place with pigs or any other animals.
Too many farmers in attempting to
make money by increasing the number
of animals do so at the expense of
quality An overstocked farm is not
a profitable one. A farm that is over
stocked is one that has more animals
of any character than can be properly
cared for or kept in good, thrifty,
growing condition. Wherever the
numbers interfere with the growth or
with the attention that should be given
them it is overstocked. If the pas
lures are too small for them or too
short, necessitating the purchase
of feed, the profits are cut with a two
edged sword first because of purchas-
ing feed, second because of the injury
to the thrift and growth of the ami
mails. More money can be made with
half the animals properly fed and
cared for and kept in thrifty, grow
ing condition. Every pig or other ami
NAL should have chance, and If they
are crowded it is impossible to give
them a good show. Numbers some
times are the sole cause Of losses in
stead of profits. A great many begin
ners make the fatal mistake Of over
stocking Swineherd

The Witch Hazel Harvest.

The witch hazel industry is the
source Of many extra dollars added to
the income Of farmers in certain parts
of Connecticut. In Middlesex County
several large factories have been erect
ed for working up the brush and raw
material may be seen moving by the
CARLOAD from the farm districts for
miles around. A ton of brush would
make something like twenty gallons of
fairly strong extract Tie best quail
ity is obtained from the green twigs,
although the dry parts may be used
for the cheaper grade The hazel har-
vest opens about the time fall work
closes and when the farmer has the
most leisure. The work consists most
ly of cutting the brush, which usually
grows in billy, rough places, and pill
ing it upon the carts. The load is then
driven to the nearest mill where it is
worked up by special machinery and
distilled. The brush Is very plenty
in some sections, and the cutters aver
age fair wages if the distance trav-
eled to the mill is not too great. The
price paid is in the vicinity Of So per
