the church bells going in Mexico. 1t
is estimated that in Mexico City alone
there are more than 1000 bell ringers.
This is the number regularly EN-.
ployed. On days of religious celebra,
tions the number is augmented, as the
ringing of the bells must be kept up
almost constantly through the day and
night on such occasions. One of the
most striking features of Mexican life
to the casual visitor is the noise of
the church bells. Every little hamlet
and many of the ranches in the coun.
try have one or more Catholic
churches, and each is equipped with
one or more bell towers. The great
cathedral which stands near the Ma.
tional Palace in Mexico City has 16 OF
these towers.
In some towns the constant ringing
of the church bells is prohibited by
the local authorities The sounding of
the bells is permitted once or twice
every hour. Some churches toll the
quarter hours and others toll every
five minutes. Most of the churches in
Mexico City toll the quarter, half and
hours.
The profession of bell ringing is
looked on by the lower classes as be-
ing honorable and distinguished The
bell ringers are reverenced as being
an adjunct of the clergy. The bell
ringers themselves are usually proud
of their work. In many cases this
place in church is handed down from
father to son through generation after
generation.
The towers of the large cathedrals
are spacious, and are frequently fitted
with rooms which are occupied by the
bell ringers and their families. Here.
far above the noise of the traffic of
the streets below, the faithful toilers
of the bells live peaceful life, seem
ingly unmindful of the crashing noise
which constantly resounds about their
very heads They are away from the
other noises of the city, but are in the
midst of the bell clangings, which go
on all through the days and nights.
How can you sleep, with all this
noise about you?" was recently asked
the wife of bell ringer in one OF the
cathedral towers.
1T is not the noise of the bells that
l mind" she replied. q hear their
ringing without knowing it, but it is
the changing of the street car gongs
in the street below that disturbs my
slumbers"
All of the church bell ringing in
Mexico is done by hand. Some of the
bells are Of ponderous size and great
weight, To operate them requires the
exercise of powerful muscles and
much bodily strength The use of
clockwork or electrical machinery to
operate the many bells in the great
cathedral in Mexico City has been
considered from time to time, but the
preponderance of sentiment of the
church authorities has been against
such an innovation.
The bell ringers are divided into
day and night shifts. They are re-
quired to toll the hours with preci-
sion. 1t is not necessary to carry
watch in Mexico unless one is travel
ing in the country, out of sound of the

His Sentence COmmuled.

Governor Glenn has commuted
the sentence of the negro, Major
Guthrie to life imprisonment.
The history of the case is "a
miliar to our readers: How
Guthrie's wife was found mur-
dered in her bed. and how later
he was arrested and every cir
cumstance pointed to his guilt.
He was tried in the superior
court and convicted, and since
that time the attorney appointed
by the court to defend, Benja-
min Lovenstein, has been work
ing to get him out of the trouble.
The committing of this SEN
tence will meet with the ap-
probation of many people in this
town where the evidence, while
convincing, was purely circum-
stantial. The efforts of Lawyer
Lovenstein to save the life of the
negro has been remarked upon
by many people and he is to be
congratulated that they have not
been in vain.
Guthrie was carried to Raleigh
by Sheriff Harvard and
over to the penitentiary
to begin his life sem
tence.

Taft Men Chosen.

East Durham and Hunts store
precincts send Taft delegates tc
the Republican county conven'
ton. However, from the Hunt:
Store precinct there will be 9
contest.
The primary in East Durham
met Saturday at l o'clock and il
was easy sailing for the Taft
men.
The primary for Hunts Store
met at 1880 and resolutions and
delegates favorable to the Taft
men were elected and the pri-
mary adjourned before all the
men that intended participating
in the convention had arrived.
This is where the kick comes in.
The Cannon forces charge that
the Taft men circulated report
that the primary would not be
held until eight O'Clock and that
their men were not there as a
consequence they will enter a
contest to their delegates.
AT this time, with IA number of
other primaries to be held, the
Taft and Cannon forces areabout
equally devided. and when the
convention meets next Saturday,
there will be an opportunity to
verify the claims of the friends
of each candidate.
MONDAY PRIMARIES.
The primaries held Monday
has changed the above. At West
Durham, Southside, and Brag-
town, the Cannon crowd had
things the way they wanted
them and sent a delegation to
the county convention that favor
the old man. Resolutions en-
dorsing Taft and Spencer 3.
Adams were voted down at Brag.
town.
This brings about a change in
what The convention was thought
to be Sunday. The Cannon men
are sure that when the conven-
ton meets they will easily have
a majority and send a delegation
to Greensboro that will holler

Brooks TO Resign.

Greensboro, N. c., March IA.
There was considerable interest
felt here yesterday afternoon
upon reading a dispatch from
Charlotte in the Record to the
effect that Solicitor Brooks
had there announced that he
would resign in his Office of
Solicitor prior to the Con-
Congressional Convention. So
Iicitor Brooks returned today
from Charlotte, and being ask
ed il the report was authentic,
declared that it was. He fur
ther said that it had been known
all along by his intimate friends
that he was going tosresign, but
he had not thought it proper to
make the matter the subject of
debate of needless gossip. His
resignation will be rendered the
Governor to take effect June
Both. In this way the successor
can be indicated by the voters of
the judicial District in a nominal
ing convention, and not only re-
lieve Governor Glenn and Solici-
tor Brooks of the charge of favor
tism. politics, etc., but give each
candidate a fair chance.

COTTON BAGGING
TOO HIGH PRICED
THE FARMERS UNION WAS NOT ABLE

The farmers of Mississippi

wrap their cotton in this year,
according to the Farmers Union
Advocate, the official Journal of
the big organization. Two
months ago ex-Business Agent
w. W. Welch announced he had
made arrangements with a
great cotton manufacturing con-
cern to deliver two million yards
of cotton bagging to the Farm
ers' Union this fall, and the Un.
ions of other states were impor-
tuned to assist Mississippi in the
consumption of that amount of
bagging. 1t was supposed and
understood here that the deed
had been closed with the factory
and that the cotton bagging
would be placed on the market
at once, thus creating a strong
demad for the inferior grades of
cotton. In announcing the mis-
Of these carefully laid
plans the official organ says:
The failure of this matter
was no fault of the late business
agent Welch, but was on account
of the ugly looking amount, to
the average farmer, demanded
by the forfeiture before they
would put in such machinery nee
cessary to its manufacture "
The Advocate does not give
up, however, expressing the
hope that the time will come
