THERE are two things. that the peo- pie of South Clifton and Hills addi- tiOn should confer with the A. c. company about. One is the removal of the old railroad bridge which is deposited in the river channel and in flood times dams the water and no doubt causes it to raise several feet higher than it should. Another thing is the dumping of slag along the east bank of the river from the hospital down. The A. c. company owes it as a duty to protect its own property. The west bank has been raised and fortified with a solid slag wall which will no doubt turn the water to the east bank, and unless something is done before the next flood the hospi- tai buildings are more than likely to be destroyed. A combination of the old bridge and the high wall on the west bank is certain to play havoc. The higher officials of the company seem to be in favor ot doing the work but the lower officials seem to be ex
 ceedingly slow about starting. When the flood comes it will be too late. As the company needs dumping room anyway, the only extra expense will be the laying ot a small amount of track. Graham county, through its board of supervisors, has offered a small bonus to the party removing the wreck of the old bridge, and as the A. c. company should feel a keen interest in the welfare of the town generally, they will no doubt make an effort to remove the obstruction.

EASTERN reports as to the finan- cial situation seem to be improving gradually, but so far the golden wave has failed to reach the west. In fact the situation seems to be getting a little worse, as each day the cash is being sunk or buried. Silver dollars and small change, which was plenti- ful three weeks ago, has almost en- tirely disappeared and the business men will soon have to make a de- mand for smaller certificates in order to make change in their general or der of business. As the majority of the purchases are under Sl.O0 it re- quires much small change. This condition has been brought about by the Mexicans using S1.OO certificates for ten to twenty-five cent purchases and putting away the change. The best the people can hope for is that money will be free by the first of the year, which now appears to be proba- ble. Uncle Sam will no doubt take steps to improve conditions.

IT HAS been suggested through

IT HAS been suggested through certain sources that the Clifton peo- pie who carry deposits in the local banks should make a demand for their money in cash and either force the banks to pay the cash or close their doors. Every reasonable per son realizes that the local banks are not in a position to pay depositors in cash, or they would not have taken steps against it. They carry large deposits outside of Clifton for safety, and at the present time are in the same position as local depositors. A demand for the cash would only re- suit in the benefit of a few who could get there first and the rest of the de- positors would have to wait indefln- itely. As long as the banks are open for business, anybody can deposit checks to their account and issue checks, but with the banks closed and no cash in circulation, what would the people do? Therefore, it is the duty of every depositor to stay with the banks and help them along as much as possible until the eastern in- stitutions adopt the cash basis again.

The result-of. the game manifested considerable hard feeling, which will result in another match in the very near future. The feeling was so strong that MT. Cuthbert left town the next day, but matters have teen adjusted and another game will be pulled off, when the Thomson team will get revenge.

Frank Laine Killed the Bear.

A hunting party composed of F. B. Laine, R. K. Minson and D. L. H. Forbes left Clifton last week on a big were joined at Duncan by Bob Harold, who furnished transportation facili- ties and guided them into the wilds of the rough mountains about d hun dred miles northeast of Duncan. The trip was hard one and the boys were about "dll in" when camp was struck. Bob had all the best hunting grounds spotted and of course put the boys next. The three hunters went out together the first day and q big dis pute came up over who should fire the first shot at a tremendous griz- zly, and the discussion went on until the bear made a sneak. When camp was struck that evening it was de- cided that each hunter would take different route next day. We'll, they left camp early in the morning and at , o'clock in the evening McssrS. Forbes and Minson had returned, but
 
 an hour later with a large bear. He had dragged it about two miles and his handsome physique was com pletcly exhausted. As soon as he rested he began to tell the boys about his fierce encounter with the bear, who had him up a tree for two hours. He had just about exhausted his am- intuition and the last shot proved fatal. Frank brought the bear in by himself. It weighed ''forty pounds dressed, and was d "vicious" looking monster.
 Frank Oldoni, an Italian employ ed in the A.C. No. concentrator at Longfellow, met death quite sud- denly one day last week while work ing as repair man. He was work ing near a large belt when in some unaCcountable manner his clothing was caught and he was hurled to eternity. The body was soon wrap ped around the shaft, which travelled at tremendous speed and it was only a short time until the belt broke. The remains Of the unfortunate man were picked up shortly after the ma chiuery had been stopped. Just how it happened is not known, but it is generally reported as an accident. Deceased had been in the employ of the A. c. company for some time and had many friends among his fellow workmen. The remains were laid to and the funeral was largely attended by the Italians residing in that sec tion. c. F. Pascoe, the local under taker, was called upon for the use of the hearse and funeral services were conducted under the auspices of the Italian fraternal organization.

Five Deer.

Ed Lafave, Tom Moody and Joe Gourley went out last week on short hunting trip and returned home with five fine looking deer. They report having seen several hundred and had no trouble in getting the limit. They did their hunting on Mule creek and the divide of the Big Lou ranch. One reason why they brought back so much game was the fact that the boys were all old time hunters and knew just where to find the game.

ATTITUDE OF FRANCE
Regards Sultan's Brother as Pre-
tender to Moroccan Throne.
FOLLOWS CONSISTENT PLAN
French Government Will Not Send an
Expedition Of Conquest Into the In.
terior-Germany Appreciates tho
Difficulty Of Frances Position.

Paris, Aug. 27.-France's attitude
towards Mulai Hafig, the sultan s
brother, who recently was proclaimed
sultan, Is for the moment at least one
of complete non-recognition of his al-
thority as sultan. 1t is officially point
ed out that although Mulai's power
seems to be growing in the South the
people in the North appear to be loyal
to the reigning sultan and until decis
i've events demonstrate that Mulai is
actually the choice of the people
France is forced to regard him as a
pretender and revolutionist.
The alleged contention of certain of
the Spanish ministers that the super.
cession of the sultan by Mulai Hafig
renders the Algeciras convention in.
effective, as one of the signers no
longer exists, is to be considered by
France, which persists unequivocally
in her policy in following the terms
of the convention and will not send an
expedition of conquest into the inte-
riOr. In the meantime the French
government does not know whether
Mulai is marching towards the coast
as a friend or foe of the French.
1t is officially stated that cordial
exchange of views occurred between
Ambassador Cambon and Chancellor
Won Buelow on the subject of Morocco
and that Germany appreciates the diff.
ficulty Of Frances position.
The Echo de Paris publishes dis
patch from Berlin declaring that the
impression caused there by the inter-
views between Ambassador Cambon
and Chancellor Won Buelow and be-.
tween Premier Clemenceau and King
Edward is that the peace of Europe
is solidly fixed."> i

WILL SAIL IN DECEMBER.
eattIeshlp Fleet May Visit Puge
Sound Cities.

Oyster Bay, N. Y. Aug. 2,.-The At
lantic battleship fleet will start for
the Pacific next December, according
to an official statement issued by Sec
rotary Loeb at the direction Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The statement was made following a
conference between the president and
representatives of the navy depart
ments. It follows:
"A conference between President
Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Newberry, Rear Admiral Brown
son, chief of the bureau of navigation,
and Rear Admiral Evans, commander
Of the Atlantic fleet, was held to de-
oide some OF the details In connection
with the fleets going to the Pacific.
"The feet will consist of sixteen
battleships and will start some time
m December, going through the straits
Of Magellan and up to San Francisco
and probably will also visit Puget
sound.
"The question Of the route by which
1t will return has not yet been decid-
ed. The destroyer flotilla will leave
for the Pacific about the same time
as the feet, but will not accompany
IT.

COST OF OPERATING ROAD
Figures Brought Out at Southern Rail-
way Hearing.


Washington, Aug 2.-With some
slight assistance in the form of guesses
by Vice President Spencer Of the
Southern Railway Speaker Justice of
the North Carolina legislature comput-
ed that it cost only $54.S7 to operate
o passenger train Of two coaches and
a baggage car on the North Carolina
railroad from Goldsboro to Greensboro.
a distance of 1874 miles. BY the same
method Of deduction the speaker cal
culated that the revenues from this
train could amount to $500 and that
the difference would be the profit to
the railroad. He took the position
that in this manner the cost of opera
ton and the revenues of the Southern
Railway system could be computed to
refuts the testimony previously given
by Mr.. Spencer that it cost an average
Of $1.0S per train mile to operate
passenger train in the state and that
the revenues from the train would
average 1925 per train mile, including
mail and express. This was the fea-

Washington, Aug: 27.-In general
the cost Of operating the Southern
Railway in North Carolina was shown
during the day in the North Carolina
rate hearing conducted before Master
in Chancery Montgomery at the South
ern Railway Offices to be higher than
in any other state through which the
system is operated st. ~
A. H. Plant, comptroller of the
Southern, testified that of the total
of 1915 miles in the system the mile
age. in North Carolina is 1,456 miles,
including S67 miles of through lines
and $50 Of local lines. ~
Mr.. Plant said that practically all
of the traffic, both passenger and
freight, was handled on through trains.
He explained that, as the cost of the
handling of traffic in North Carolina
was low, it had the general effect of
reducing the general expense Of oper.

BETTER TONE PREVAILS.
Some Improvement Shown on the
Stock Exchange.

New York, Aug. q The most Sc
rious conditions Of the previous week
in the stock market have given way
to better tone and a marked dlminu.
ton Of operations. Sentiment appears
to have been favorably affected by the
absence Of further liquidation, but the
public utterances Of President Roose-
welt and Secretary Taft were at first
somewhat disturbing. From outward
appearances, however, the market Is
gradually drifting away from consid-
erations Of a political character. More
attention is being given to monetary
conditions. There Is threatened
stringency, not only at home, but in
most of the worlds money markets.
The tightness Of money precipitated
another commercial failure during the
week and more are predicted for the
same reason. Time loans are being
made on bases we'll in excess Of nor
NAL rates, and the banks are safe

Rochester, N. Y, Aug. 2 .-Freder-
ick l.. Kistermaker, freight engineer,
was found murdered in his boarding
house, having been twice shot In the
head. Mrs. Nellie Osborne, with whom
Kistermaker boarded, and Arthur
Clark We're arrested and the latter,
who IS a mere youth, has made con.
fession, according to the police. It
Is said that in this confession Clark
alleged that Mrs. Osborne planned the
murder because of jealousy and that
while the three were in room to-
gether, Clark, watching at the win
dow, signalled when a train was ap-
preaching and Mrs. Osborne fired the
shots that killed Kistermaker at a mo-
ment when the sound of the train
drowned the reports Of the pistol.
