and having no voice in conventions, much less hold offices. But for their almost solid support the Republicans could never win an election in the State.
 Bonapartc on Shelf.
 Attorney General Bonaparte, accord ing to the general opinion expressed by Marylanders, is not a heavyweight among the masses. He belongs to what is known as the silk stocking" crowd in politics, and admits himself that he is somewhat on the shelf. He is so constructed that he has not been able to get along amicably with the ma chine" element in Maryland.
 The Governor Of Maryland has an enormous amount of patronage-more than any executive in a Southern State That Is why the Republicans are trying so hard this year to capture that of- flee. Of course. most of this patron age isfin the big city of Baltimore, All the indications point to Democratic victory. but it will surely be hard fought battle. The Democrats will make a supreme effort to retain their hold in order to be in good shape for the Presidential election next year. as well as to make sure of holding both United States Senatorships.
 Tennesseans who are coming to Washington seem to be of the opinion that former Senator Carmack will be induced to run for Governor next year, They say that MT. Carmack is not par ticularly anxious to make the race, but such heavy pressure Is being brought to bear upon him that he can hardly re- sist. All this talk Is said to have greatly excited the close friends of Governor Patterson. Usually a Gov ernor in Tennessee Is given q second term if he desires 1t, and 1t IS well known that Mr. Patterson wants to succeed himself, and is understood to be much exercised over the movement in behalf of Carmack
 Several of the Tennesseans now in this city in discussing the outlook agree that if Carmack enters the gu- bernatoriaI race and wins. he VIII eventually land again in the Senate; and they think he has his eye on the seat occupied by Senator Frazier IL was a sad blow to MT. Carmack to be beaten after serving only one term. even if so popular e faYorite as ex- Governor Bob" Taylor was his suc- cessful opponent.
 Most of the Tennesseans heard to comment here on the outlook, declare that if Carmack does come out Tor Governor 1t will mean an agitation that Is likely to eventually make the State strictly prohibition. This has aFOHHGu AtItdQJs ShSy A%A&hVf SAAS NN~ tilIers. wholesale liquor dealers, brew CTS and saloon keepers. In his contest with Taylor, carfnack hit the saloons A lick whenever the occasion presented itself, and did not conceal the fact that he wanted them all put out or ousl- ness
 One curious situation mentioned nere is that In Davidson County, In which Nashville is located. and which was carried last year by large majority for Taylor, hundreds of influential friends of the latter are known to be favorinr the candidacy of Carmack for Governor, and they are said to be ai5 ready pledging him their support. And thfs peculiar condition of affairs politi- cally Is said to be making tangle in Tennessee matters that promises 10 sus carmack and Patterson are pitted against each other in the next nBht.

LeaIle VI. shaw TaIIks.

New York, Aug 1S.-Leslie M. Shaw. former Secretary of the Treas urer. authorized the following inter view on the present financial and in- dustrial conditions today.
 Our farms produce more. than $6. 800, ,000. .000 per annum. and the pros pect is good for an average crop, Our mines yield more than s1,500, 900. 900, and our forests more than Sl,000, 000,- 900. And neither of these sources of wealth has been exhausted. The out put of our factories in other than food products Is $12.000.000 .000. The rail- ways earn more than $2.000, 900, 900, and they are all in successful operation. The pay rolls of our factories and rail- ways aggregate approximately $3,5OO,- 100000, and the scale of wages has not been reduced.
 In other words, the real sources of the peoples wealth have not yet been affected and the ability of industrial concerns to pay dividends is not meas ured by the market price of their stocks. Logical reason for serious conditions are. therefore, wanting. Psychological reasons are not, however, wanting anywhere.
 If judge correctly. the people will have exactly what they expect. If those who have money in the banks withdraw it and lock it up; if the Dd0hS ItAu5C hO Aohe and if the consuming public declines to place orders, then we will very soon witness the effects. Let those who think that times of disaster fellow each other at regular intervals bear in mind that this country never yet ex- perienced a period of severe depression | that was not traceable to financial or economic agitation or Legislation and usually to both. Tn 1893 the redemption of green I backs In silver instead of gold was openly advocated; the party in power | was under promise to remove the pro- tective tariff from our industries, and | the free coinage of silver at the ratio | of 16 to 1 was championed by proml-
 nent members of both parties. The ! country might have survived any one of these sources of alarm, but it could
 not survive all three
 At this time no one questions our financial system and the tariff will not be touched for at least eighteen | months.
 some check in the speed at which we are going is most desirable and the checking process has probably begun. If will not require a fair measure of confidence and courage to prevent un- due retardment in our industries. Cap itaI cannot be forced into activity, but it can be forced out of activity. I have never seen the time when univer- sal sanity was more essential 10 our we'll being"

1 As Sancho neared the dukes castle ! whom should he see but his master out taking a morning ride on Rozfnante. After greetings the two told each other
 what had befallen them since their | separation. They had wandered far
 into a wood. whom they saw approach ing along the road knight armed cap-a-pie.
 The stranger announced himself as the Knight of the White Moon lock-
 ing for fight with Don Quixate. How. caitiff and recreant knighti"
 cried the Don. and at 1t they went. But the Knight of the White Moon.
 being well mounted and handling his
 lance with great skill managed to un-
 horse the Don without hurting him ex- cept in his pride. Placing his sword
 at the throat of his fallen adversary,
 the stranger knight demanded that the Don yield himself according to the
 rules of chivalry and promise to per- form whatever might be demanded of him.
 With a rueful face Don Quixote yielded himself. The condition i'm
 posed upon him was that he return
 to his home and give up knight-er-
 rantry for two years.
 Then the Knight of the White Moon
 rode off and when he took off his trap pings in neighboring inn disclosed
 the features of the bachelor, Sampson Carrasco, who. mortified at his first failure to overthrow the Don. had been practicfng with the handling of steeds
 and the use of the lance until he felt
 able to set out for a second trial. Sorrowfully Don Quixote went on his homeward way. Sancho was not
 in a hurry to meet his wife again and
 desired to tarry by the way and sleep
 much of the time Don ouixote up-
 braided his squire for this somnoient
 tendency, but Sancho replied: "Bles-
 sings light upon the man who first invented sleep It covers a man all over, body and mind. like a cloak. It
 is meat to the hungry. drink to the thirsty, heat to the cold. It is coin which can purchase all things; the balance that equals the shepherd with the king. the fool with the wise man."
 T never heard thee talk so eloquent ly before," said the Don. which proves the truth of the saying mot with whom
 thou are bred but with whom thou
 are fed
 On arriving at his home, Don Quixota fell sick of Q fever and, worn out by his fastings and adventures. sank rapidly toward the grave. But before
 he died his brain cleared and he said to his friends: Give me joy, good gentlemen, that I am no longer Don Ouixote. an utter enemy to Amadia | of Gaul and all his generations. Let my fate be a warning to all who be- | fuddle their brains with those lyina 1 romances of chivalry."
 Sancho returned to his farm work l and talked to his last hour Of the days | when he was governor; while Samp-
 son carrasco wrote the good knightA | epitaph.

Striving the Bible of the miracuioua is 6 gratuitous task. The Bible Is shot all through with the supernatural. ons miracle more or less, cuts small fig. ure.

/ Sudden and Sad Death In Williams
len.

On Thursday morning, March 21st.
Mr.. Dennis Simmons Biggs died
.:4.;.e,' suddenly at his home in Will
siarnston. On the day before he
drove to Washington and returned
at a late hour, about two or three
o'clock in the morning. He was
unWell and called a physician, who
came and after spending some time
&" it'll him went away leaving color
81 boy to watch by MIR. Biggs' bed
side.
In the early morning the boy left
Mr.. Biggs asleep and q little later
when another servant went to the
room he became alarmed at Mr..
Biggs' condition. A physician was
called but he arrived too late to he
Of service.
llr. Biggs' wife was away in Nor
folk at the time OF his death and al
so his brother, DR.. John D. Biggs
was with the funeral party accom-
panying the remains Of Mrs. Albion
Dunn to Mount Airy. As he step
ped off the train at Mount Airy q
telegram was handed him announc-
ing the death of his brother, and he
took the next train back for home.
Mr.. Dennis Simmens Biggs Was
about IS years old, was the oldest
son of the late J. D. Biggs. of Will
liamston, and nephew Of Mr.. II.
Biggs. Of Scotland Neck. He left
wife, mother, two brothers and two
sisters.
He was one Of the Wealthiest men
in this part Of the State, being iden-
tilted with large lumber interests in
various places, and largely interest
ed in every enterprise OF his town
and community. He was liberal in
all that looked to the development
Of his town and perhaps 10 death

and so generally affected bis COM
nunity. He was the leading spirit
in all the enterprises Of his town and
was president Of many Of them.
WILLIAMSON as a community feels
keenly the heavy loss in his death,
and hundreds and hundres of indivi-
duals feel it also, for he was noted
for his kindness and helpfulness TO
the poor and all who appealed to
him or needed his help.

1t is interesting news that Mr.. }.

the Biblical Recorder for more than
a dozen years, has resigned that po-
sition. He will take up the profess
sion of law, and it is freely predicted
that he will soon be in the field of
politics. And this also is interesting,
because Mr.. Bailey is as well &C
ouainted with the conditions in
North Carolina as any other man,
