FIG FIRM BANKRUPT
GARY-KENNEDY COMPANY IN IN-
 VOLUNTARY BANKRUPTCY.
Earnest Lamar Named Receiver Of one Of oldest Firms Of seIma--Faii- are Of Collections Said To
 He The Cause.
Advertiser Bureaus

A.
 Selma. Nov. IF. At 7:o5 o'clock this afternoon the wholesale grocery firm of Gary Ken nedy Company was thrown into inVoi- untary bankruptcy. The papers nav ing been issued from the United states circuit court at the request Of the American Candy Factory, Hubbard and Clay Grocery Company and the ". B. Atkins Grocery Company, all of this city, each of whom have small ac- counts against the firm. The Gary Kennedy Grocery Company is composed of pr. T. P Gary, D. A. Kennedy T. E. Gary and J. F. Hooper. It was one of the oldest and thought to De one of the most reliable firms of the city.
 The closing of the doors of the store ia to a certain extent accountable to the illness of Mir. sJ. F. Hooper. MT Hooper was familiar with the finance and accounts. of the firm and for the past few weeks has been critically Ill with typhoid fever. Mir. Hooper's ill., ness and the inability to make collec- lions coupled with the present finan- cial conditions made 1t necessary for the firm to be thrown into involuntary bankruptcy.
 The bankruptcy petition named MT. Ernest Lamar, of this city, as receiver and, placed his bond at $140.000. MT. Lamar made tnis ponu u lew mn nutos after, the door of the store was closed and will straighten, up the affairs of the concern which has been business pn Water for a great number of years.
 The assets of the firm will reach between $10o,0o0 and $125.00o. The liabilities will not be less than $l2b.- poo. On account of the present finan- cial condition the closing the doors of the Gary-Kennedy Company this aft arAoon caused considerable excitement among the business interests of the city. It is not thought that the clos ing will in any way affect any other business concerns of the city.

Raise In Telephone Rates.

Statesville, N. c., Mascot.
The directors of the Iredell Tele-
phone Company have given notice that
they will raise the rates On January
LIST to $1.5O and $3.50. The demand on
the system has been so great that an
additional switchboard will have to be
put in and their experience has de-
monstrated the fact that the present
rate is too low" hat it will not create a
necessary sinking fund and pay inter-
est IN the bonds. There is some dis
satisfaction on account of this raise but
the 'phono people asks the patrons to
remember that the new rate is identi-
cally the rate asked of the Bell and
which they refused to give Statesville.
Were it not for the local system they
would now be paying a much higher
rate than the new rate.

region in it's relation to the
administration of the church is urged,
and if the recommendation is carried
out it will mean the creation OF new
dioceses and the election of new bish-
ops. 1t is probable, in tact, that the
present convention will break all rec
ords as to the number of new bishops
to be elected by it.
In addition to these changes in the
tar West are several proposed divisions
of dioceses. Georgia is to be divided,
and there is possible a Encouragement
of Ohio, making three dioceses there
instead Of two. Discussion will also
be had as to the disposition OF Mime
sofa and Iowa, where conditions have
.outgrown present Episcopal forces. II
is possible also that the Southern I'LL
nois diocese and that of Pittsburg may
be divided.
The observance of the ter-centennia.
of the landing at jamestown of English
settlers and the establishment of the
services of the Church of England in
America will occupy some of the time
of the general convention, which will
be in session about foul weeks. A
feature of the observance will be the
presentation of a Manufacturing by the
men of the Episcopal church for the
progress of the past three centuries.

out in the statement nat I was not
Influenced or controlled to the slight
est extent by either Colonel Andrews
or the Southern Railway Company, nor
has either aver undertaken to do so,
because in almost every measure that
came before the Senate affecting rail-
roads I voted against the railroads and
in favor of what I believed to De the
best interests of the State.
Ipromised the people of Wake county
to vote for a reduction of railroad rates
and voted for a two-and-a-half cent
rate. Subsequently, when the confer
ence report was presented to the Sen
| ate, fixing the rate at twO and a quarter
cents, I voted for hat.
I have served the Visitor-Press Com
pany, which publishes b Times, as
president, and part of the time as gen
eral manager, eve since I have been
connected with it, and I have never
drawn one dollar out Of the business
for my services. In addition to that, I
have paid about $40, 900 in cash into
the paper, besides allowing the COM
pany to occupy my building for more
than two years now without paying
one dollar for rent.
i nave never ndO any desire OF
thought that the Evening Times would
prove a profitable investment from a
pecuniary standpoint, but I have
labored to build up this paper, believe
ing that it would ultimately be a power
for good in this community and a bene-
fit to the best interests of the state.
This is a full and frank statement of
my entire connection with the South
ern Railway vouchers.
The statement would have been
made sooner, but I felt that it was best
to be calm and deliberate, and verify
every fact and detail before making
any statement at all. I know I have
been severely criticised, but I pre-
ferred to wait patiently and undergo
any amount of criticism rather than
make a mistake in the slightest detail
in making this statement.

WATCH FOR NEW COINS
DOUBLE EAGLE, EAGLE AND
PENNY OF CHANGED DESIGN

PHILADELPHIA. August 12.-Philadel-
terest the announcement that new designs
for United States coins by the artist Au-
Sustus Saint Gaudens have been accepted
by the government Three denominations
will be affected-the double eague, the eagle
and the bronze cent.
A radical change is made in the design
of the cent and though the Indian head
will be retained il will bear little resem-
blance to the old one. and is expected to be
more characteristic of the head of the
American Indian with real headdress In
stead of the present design. The present
Indian head is really a Caucasian type, the
facing having been posed for by a little
daughter of James NJ Longacre the en-
graver of the Philadelphia mint, who de-
signed the present penny in 1859.
On the diverse of the eagle and double
eagle the head of Liberty is retained in
localized form On the reverse of the twen-
ty-dolar gold piece which was also design
eagle. but of new design.
More radical changes noted in the de-
sign for the ten dollar gold coin. While the
diverse still shows the idealzed head of LIB
erty, on the reverse is flying eagle closely
modelled after the dollars and half dollars
of 1896 and 1888. Christian GObrecht, who
designed these coins. used as his model
Peter the live eagle. known as the Mint

each night to rooSt at the mint. and which
was afterward killed by being caught the

BETS ON JAPAN,
Prof. Star Thinks She Could Best
Us in War

CHICAGO, August 12-Prof Frederick
Starr, anthropologist of the University of
Chicago, believes Japan could whip the
United States in war He says II is a great
mistake to send the great American feet
into the Pacific, as the ships are quite likely
to show how inefficient the navy is
His views were presented In an address
on Japan" yesterday in All Souls Church
Among the pointed statements he made
were these:
Japan, from our standard has no supe-
rior as world power today.
Il am not afraid of a yellow peril Think
Of what the white peril has been. Where
are the red men and the black men?
1--WE are inclined to think Russia's army
was rotten. But Russia was the only power
which stood a chance with Japan
do you think our army Of 10000 desert
ers a year, whose men complain OF goldfish
for breakfast, detest the marches from day
to day, who clamor about the small pay
they receive, could stand up against the
Japanese?
Il do not know If we will have a war
with the Japanese. l hope not. If we do
1t will be our own fault. Japan will not
start it,
