FIREbUGS APPLY THE TORCH
Barn Full of Valuable Brood Mares
on the ]. B. Haggin Farm
Burned.

Lexington, KY, April although
several officers of Fayette county are
assisting Charles II. Bergman, man
ager of James B. Higgins great Elm
dorf farm here, to thoroughly investi-
gate the cause of the fire last night
which destroyed barn and thirty-four
mares, all but two in foal, and eleven
colts, not the slightest clue to the
guilty persons has been discovered.
Bergman is confident incendiaries
are responsible for the blaze Two of
the dead mares are Garterless and
Summit, noted brood mares. 1t is be-
lieved the loss will easily reach $780,
900.
Some of the most valuable mares
among those quartered at the Elmdorf
were among those burned. The loss
on horses alone is estimated at $50, 900.
The barn burned was some distance
from that occupied by the world-fa- :
nous racer and stallion. Salvador.
It is reported on good authority that
four days ago Bergman received a
letter saying all the horses on the farm
would be poisoned

GERMAN LOANS
CAUSE COMMENT
Some Interests in England Be-
lieve War Is Portended by
Raising of Money.

London, April 3.-The news given out
yesterday of the new German and
Prussian loans, amounting to S162 ,500,-
GOO, came as a surprise to London and
has resulted in much discussion and
even in the expression of some distrust
of the financial position OF Germany
That loans amounting TO $3.50, 600, 900
already have been found necessary this
year, and that these loans are keeping
pace with the greatly increased naval
expenditures of Germany interests Brit
ish financiers and the British public
keenly, and some people are of the
opinion that this financial activity
shows a tendency ultimately toward
war. Others, however, believe that
these German loans provide a safe
guard against war.
Huge Loans Not Expected.
Financiers here have realized that
the naval undertakings of Germany,
the Prussian plan for expropriating the
extending the state railroads might
require the raising of a loan within a
year. but 1T was not expected that the
government would borrow so much at
a time. of peace. or find il necessary to
pay such a high rate of interest. Four
per cent is a higher interest rate than
Germany has been compelled TO pay
in more than twenty years. 1t is be
lieved that little English capital will
be invested in these loans, and that
the English market will only be indi-
rectly affected.

Washington, April Representative
George Lilley of Connecticut, author of
the resolution under which the special
committee of the house is investigating
charges against the Electric Boat COM
pany, placed in evidence an affidavit
dated March IL, and signed by Samuel
Ferguson, residing in Bridgeport.
Conn, who swore that during the fall
and winter of 1902 he served in the
navy in the capacity of chief electri
clan, and that during that time he
served upon several submarine torpedo
boats owned by either the Holland
Torpedo Boat company or its success
or. the Electric Boat company, and
none of which were owned by the Unit
ed States government, and that many
of the crew of these submarine torpedo
beats were sailors in the United States
navy, receiving pay from the United
States government, and in addition
thereto received wages from the Hol-
land Torpedo Boat company.
This statement was offered in sub
sanitation of Mr. Lilley's charges that
the Electric Boat company had paid
money to enlisted men.

Avoided Politics.

The secretary declared that he had no
desire to talk politics and said that he
hoped to keep away from that subject
during his stay in Chicago. He added
that it was impossible to say at what
moment such discussion might be forced
upon him in spite of his best intentions.
He was told of the nomina ton of Thomas
E. Watson by the Populsts in St Louis
today and remarked that it was very in

Affidavit of President Lake.

AHOdNik Ot TECSidCHh Lake,
MIR. Lilley also presented an affidavit
from John G. Lake, vice president of
the Lake Torpedo Boat company, dated
Bridgeport, Conn, March 16, to the ef-
feet that about two years ago he had
an interview with Charles Ferry, a
representative of the Bridgeport Brass
company, in which Ferry told him that
President Bowles of the Fore River
Ship Building & Engine company had
asked him (Ferry) to use all influence
possible upon a Connecticut congress-
man to induce him not to use his inf1u-
ence in favor of the Lake company,
and to use # in favor of the Electric
Beat company; if he was successful in
this the Fore River company would
make contracts with the Bridgeport
Brass company for goods to the value
of about 100000. Mr.. Ferry, in his
testimony before the committee We'd
nesday, denied that President BOWles
had made him any such proposition,
or that he had ever promised him an
order for seeing anyone.

A WORD TO THE FARMER.

was borninIthe country, grew
up and labored there. | love the
farm and those who give their
lives to tilling the soil. But the
liquor papers and liquor leaders
have slandered the farmers fear
fully. They say that they used
to carry the whiskey elections
in North Carolina by the negro
vote, but now since the negro
cannot vote thay say that they
are depending upon the farmers
to take their place. This is
slanderous. Our best type of
men is found on the farms and
has come from the farms. |
hereby call upon the farmers of
this state to resent such abase in
suit. Prohibition will get a ire
mendous vote from the country.
The absence OF saloons makes
the country a better and safer
place to live. Farmers can send
their sons to town and be sure
that they will return sober. The
public roads will be better. The
school system of Durham county
is the banner system of the en-
tire State. 1t has become so
since the county became dry.
Men. think well and pray long
before you vote against prohibi-
ton next Tuesday. know that
there are several men why try to
persuade you to vote the wet
ticket, but they are not your
friends. They are trying to de-
ceive you TO make themselves
rich out of the saloon. They
will use all manner of argument
in which there is no truth, and
even quote scripture and try to
prove that God is in favor of the
liquor traffic.
Farmers, for the sake of your
houses, your wives, your sisters,
and your little ones, for the sake
of your state and of yourself,
and in the name of God go vote
against the liquor shops on May
18th. A FRIEND.

all OF our regulations could not
heal. We unqualifedlp hold that
this a moral question. And to
influence the minds of men upon
this question we pray and sing
and preach and write, and then
get them to express their moral
sentiments by casting their votes
to prohibit this traffic that has so
long cursed our fair land.
AS the days go by things grow
brighter for prohibition. This
can be said of the American peo-
pie that they are willing to con-
slider facts given them, and there
is no class of people on earth
more ready to do the right when
they know it. The men of Dur
ham are true American citizens
and cannot be deceived by a few
selfish leaders who are working
for their own ends. Scarcely a
day passes but some sensible
voter places himself on the side
of prohibition. There may be
some man who has believed in
saloons but has recently changed
his mind. If he would like to
state his reasons so that his old
friends may understand his posi-
ton we will gladly give him
space in these columns.

SIDE.
The matter that the anti-prohibi-
tioniEts have been feeding the people
with through the papers of Durham
for the last few weeks is mighty poor
stuff. II is nearly all stereotype mat
ter, clippings from anywhere and
everywhere. Why do not the leaders
bestir themselves and. give us some
fresh Durham material? Who are
these ministers from whom they quote
and whose long statements and testi-
monials they bring concerning the
evils of prohibition? Are any of these
North Carolina ministers? Why could
they not get some of the ministers
Of Durham TO make statements of
this kind? We challenge them to get
the signature of any reputable min.
lister in Durham below a statement
that he favors saloons. We ask them
TO bring any reputable minister in
North Carolina TO Durham and let him
speak in favor of saloons. More than
that. We challenge them to get any
teacher of good standing in Durham
rounty to stand in a public place and
speak in favor of saloons. We fur
Their challenge them to get any repu.
table lawyer of the city Of Durham TO
sand in a public place Of this city

..et them also get the signature of
twenty-five reputable business men Of
he city o; Durham for publication BE-.
,.ath the statement that they favor
lesali2ing tine saloons in North Caro-.
Tina. The names of how many law.
abiding wage earners of the city could
they secure 10 a statement like the
one above. Durham has not said
much about II. but the sober-minded
in the city of all classes are still in
favor Of prohibition. II is In vain that
men try TO deceive them. They may
stampede a few once in a while with
some plausible argument. but the PEG.
pie Of Durham have seen too much
good as the direct result of prohibition
20 put themselves willingly on record
10 the contrary.

and George Stewart had them by the
hundreds. These facts speak volumes.
1t is common street talk that Mr..
Settle did not at any time meet square,
ly the question at issue. Yet this is
not strange for he could not. Men
say that he was very irreyerent; that
he sneered at the Scripture, and that
in some places he bordered on bias
pheIny. Did he answer any argument
when he said that Noah drank wine?
lie speaker got on very dangerous
ground when he declared that his God
made law for man in the garden of
Eden which was an evil law. The peo-
pie of Durham believe in God and
they will not willingly hear a public
speaker. stand and blaspheme their
Maker to his face by charging him
with crime.
In argument, it seems that man
of Mr.. Settles intellect would know
tEa difference between the cause and
the occasion. He made use of the ar
gument that prohibition causes per-
jury. Yet this is not so. No condi-
ton could cause a man to commit
perjury, yet a thousand conditions may
be the occasion of mans perjuring
himself. Did the SPEAKER expect that
Durham audience was so ignorant
that they could not see through a fall
lacy of this kind?
So when the matter is sifted down,
Mr.. Settle made no better case than
lid his forerunner, Deacon Watts. The
only difference is that the deacon had
Il tone of sincerity about his, even to
tt point of fanaticism, but everybody
knows that MIR. Settle spoke as a
hireling who looked for his wages at
the close of the day.

The anti.prohibition forces have been

ing that the world was swinging their
way. But. from close inspection. we
ind that they are losing ground since
the speech OF Mr.. Settle on last Wed.
nesday night. II leaked out that the
crowd was not so Overwhelmingly
wet after all. Hundreds Of men say
they went there out Of mere curiosity
TO hear the brilliant speaker. In fact,
people seem 20 be a little ashamed TO
own that they went there through a
matter Of interest.
The reporter Of The Herald made

ed for their decency. honor and mod.
