The recent suicide of Representative Adams.
of Pennsylvania, is the first instance, so far as is
known, of a member of the house taking his own
life. A few years ago Representative Chickering,
OF New York, was found lifeless on the sidewalk
outside a hotel in New York city having fallen
from his bedroom window. 1t was always a
doubt whether he fell by accident or threw him.

however, about Berthe Adams act and 1t stands
unique in the history of congress. Away back in

from his case and that of Mr.. Adams there is no
authentic record of any other member of either
house having taken his own life.

LETTER FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
For Years Senator German Leader on
Democratic Side-PIace Difficult to
Fil--PracticaI Joke of "Dave'
CuIberSOn.

WASHINGTON.-A wide gap was made in
the Democratic ranks in the senate when Arthur
Pue German, of Maryland, died a few days ago.
There have been few more ~forceful characters
among the Democrats in that body. He grew up
with the senate; knew all its traditions and re-
garded it as the greatest legislative body In the
world. For many years Mr.. German was the
real, as we'll as %titular, leader on the Democratic
side of the senate. 1t was his genius that thought
out political schemes and 1t was his management
that secured for the Democrats the most there
was in the situation. His place will be difficult to
fill, as there are few men of his temperament and
sagacity now on the minority side of the senate.
Mr.. German was almost born to the senate,

FOR CLERK.

EDITOR ARGUS:
AS the County Convention draws
near. friends of the several candi-
dates are becoming more jealous in
behalf of their favorites-and L, in
common with a large number of
voters, desire to state some reasons
for advocating the claims of Charles
F. Herring fol- the Clerkship.
Mr.. Herring is we'll and favorably
known throughout the county, hav-
ing served as Superior Court Clerk,
and as Chairman of the Board of
County Commissioners, in each of
which offices he has given satisfac-
ton; and the intimate knowledge of
the county's condition gained i such
service, will prove of great public
advantage.
I believe that we will make no
mistake in the selection of Mr.. Her
ring as the successor of our present
efficient and popular Clerk, and
thereby continuing the conduct of
the Office in the manner to which we
are accustomed and Of which we
unqualifiedly approve, and in which
his former experience justifes us in
believing MI. Herring will be sue
cessful. DEMOCRAT.

and was called to order by 9. FL.

All the counties except Stanly

The prosperity or adversely of al

would create a widespread ruin.
All three of the crops in question
are well advanced, and the harvest

soon be completed. There are blooms
in the cotton fields, and there will
soon come to US reports of tasselled

Matched, but there is no harm in
saying that all crop indications up to
the present time point to a contin-
uance of prosperity in all sections of
the country.
In all lines Of trade and manufac-
lures there is waiting in these mid
summer weeks to see what the out
turn of the crops is to be. The mer-
chant waits a while before he starts
out to buv goods for consumption
next fall and winter; the manufac-
turer waits to see what the buying
capacity of the country will be, and
the railroads wait before placing new
orders for cars and motive power to
see what they will have to move.
SO it is all along the line. The coun-
try is waiting while the crops of a
great country r growing.
Every week OF favorable weather
means millions, yes, tens Of millions,
of dollars to this country, and it is
not strange that news from the crops
|outranks in interest all other news.
Thus far very little unwelcome news
has come from the crops, and each
week lessons the danger of disasters
and even of diminishing troubles in
the great acreage of a mighty coun-
try-a country that almost clothes
and feeds the world.

OIL TRUST SUITS.
General Moody Talks
Over Situation With Other
ToxuyorS in CaSo


Over Situation With Other
Lawyers in Case.
Washington, June 2S.-A confer
ence was held at the White House
this afternoon in which Attorney
General Moody, Assistant Attorney
General Purdy, Messrs- Kellogg and
Morrison, special counsel in the case
connected with the investigation of
Standard Oil affairs, participated
with the president. The antitrust
phase af the question was under con-
sideration. 1t was said that this
question was being investigated, and
that n 10 conclusion has yet been ar
rived at.
In reference to the other phase of
the question as to whether there
has been any violation of the inter-
state commerce act by the Standard
Oil Company the several district at
torneys summoned here by Mr..
Moody have gone to their respective
homes and will be guided in their
actions by existing conditions.
It was said that they understand
that the department of justice wants
Immediate action and they will
either call special grand juries or file
information whichever cours they
decide to be most expeditions.
No statement was forthcoming
from any of those who participated
in the conference beyond the fact
that it was incident to the investiga.
ton instituted by the department OF
Justice with a view to ascertaining il
the Standard Oil Company has vic.
lated the Sherman anti trust act, and
further that no conclusions were
reached at to-day's conference.
Messrs. Kellogg and Morrison will
continue the investigation and will be
in close touch with the department
of justice at all times. There will be
other conferences from time to time
as the investigation progresses. It is
said that some time will be consum.
ed in going over and digesting the
information already in hand at the
department Of justice.

COTTON.

Some country always is engaged
in disputing the supremacy OF Ameri-
can cotton, but no country has ever
succeeded in ever endangering our
pOsitiOn in the commercial world.
Just now Argentina says she has an
immense cotton zone embracing $780,
900 square miles, but her zone is far
from Buenos Ayres, with it has no
connection with railroads. Japan,
too, says she can grow all the cotton
she needs in Corea, and she is pre-
pairing to do it. If any n can,
the Jap can, but It's Corean expert
ment remains to be tested. COrea
lies we'll up north. Scarcely any of
it is south of the thirty-ffth latitude,
and in this country not much cotton
is grown above that latitude. The
spinners of Lancashire are also try
ing to grow cotton in West Africa,
and the Germans also have African
dreams.
But none of these attempts have
thus far endangered the control OF
the commercial crop Of this country,
1t has however, been long believed
that cotton at a high level-at ten
cents or more-would lead to the
cultivation of cotton in other coun'
tries. The desire to do so is evel
present among European consumers
and growers here and there in warn
districts, but always some obstacles
appear to defeat all plans in British
Africa or German Africa OR where
ever else efforts have been made tC
grow cotton.
The present production of cotton
nthis country barely sufficers to meet
the worlds needs. AS those needs
are increased the production of this
country must be increased if we are
to retain Jul supremacy in the com.
mercial world. We have the soil,
the climate, the transportation facili.
ties and the area, and all we lack is
an adequate labor supply, and thai
will be within reach if New Orleans
becomes d of the big immigration
depots of the country.
