Watson's Charge Against Bryan Re-
garding Confederate Soldiers.
Statesville Landmark

StateSyllie LANDMARK.
Hon. Thos. Watson, OF Georgia,
who is very severe in his denunciation
of Mr.. Bryan, charged over his own
signature that Mr.. Bryan, while a
member of Congress, at the same
time Mr.. Watson was in Congress,
refused to vote for Mr.. Crisp for
Speaker of the House on the ground
that he could not vote for Confed-
crate soldier. This charge was not
new but Mr.. Watson'spositive state
ment of it attracted attention. Mr..
John/M. Julian, editor OF the Sails
bury Post, wired Mr.. Bryan about
the matter. In reply Mr.. Bryan said
he had "never made any such state
ment;" that he voted for a Confeder-
ate for Speaker of the House OF Rep
resentatives three times. He voted
for Speaker Crisp twice on roll call,
first in the 52nd Congress and again
in the 53rd, and voted for him in
caucus in the 53rd Congress. He
| recommended an ex-Confederate for
postmaser, and while in Congress
| he sustained the best relations with
ex- -Confederates. There is no reason
| to believe that Mr.. Bryan ever said
he could not vote for Confederate
soldier or that he entertains any
| such sentiments. But to prevent
further controversy his reply should
have been fuller. He says he voted
for Speaker Crisp on roll call in the
52nd and 53rd Congresses and voted
for him in caucus in the 53rd Con
gress. The voting con roll CALI
simply means that he voted for Mr.
Crisp after that gentleman had re.
| ceived the caucus nomination OF his
party, which all Democrats who en-
tered the caucus were bound to do
In the 53rd Congress, when Mr.
Crisp was a candidate for reelection
as Speaker. he had no opposition
aud Mr. Bryan voted for him in eau
Gus. To end the matter MIR. Bryan
| should have stated for whom he
voted in the caucus of the 52nd Con
gress. There we're many candidates
for Speaker and Mr.. Bryan doubtless
voted in caucus for Mr.. Springer, O
Illinois. 1t was natural that ht
should do so, Mr.. Springer being
from his native State, a Western mar
and Democrat of prominence
There was nothing wrong in Mr.
Bryan voting for Mr.. Springer. HI
simply exercised the privilege OF Sc
Letting his man, and there is nc
proof that in voting for Springer h'
was actuated by feeling against ex
Confederates.

The Canning Industry.
Big Things Being Done Along
That Line in North Carolina
This Year.
Lexington Dispatch.

Lexington Dispatch.
There is marked activity in the
canning industry in the State this
year on account of the bumper crop
OF fruits, berries and vegetables.
Every good housewife is busying
herself putting away supplies for the
winter, and perchance will have
something for the market. CONNER
cial canning in Davidson county is
not carried on extensively, but there
is no reason why our people should
not go into it on a large scale, for
we always have some fruit, plenty of
berries and good crops of vegeta-
bles. In some counties this industry
has become a very important one,
as in Surry, for instance, where, says
an Elkin dispatch, more than one
hundred thousand dollars will be
paid into the hands of the farmers
this summer for blackberries alone.
The farmers do the canning them
selves, using tins, and sell to the
shippers. More than eight hundred
thousand cans have been shipped
already and the crop is not yet ex-
hausted. As the berries cost nothing
the profit is enormous. Our people
can enrich themselves in this line of
endeavor and we would like to see
the business grow more rapidly.
Corn, beans and tomatoes can be
prepared for the market at small
cost and will always find a healthy
demand, for the product is pure and
good and cheap. We could make
the canning business rival in value
of output our trucking and fresh
fruit and berry output.

NEW REMEDY.
Claims of Medical Society Member Of
a Cure for Pneumonia.

CHICAGO, April S0-The an
nouncement Of new theory as to
the case OF pneumonia and the dis
covery OF remedy for the disease
was made at last nights meeting of
the Chicago Medical Society.
DR.. H. Manning Fish, who made
the announcement, backed up his as
sertions with detailed description OF
case OF acute pneumonia which, he
declared, had been cured in "a hours
by means Of the simple method which
he described
DR.. Fish first declared that the seat
of the trouble in pneumonia cases was
not, as is generally supposed, not in
the lungs but in the small cells in the
bony framework at the top OF the
nose.
The pneumonics or disease germs,
germ, was not harmful except when
pent up in a cell of this sort. Then,
he explained, it acted like an ex-
plosive, began to expand and was
absorbed by the blood and became
one OF the most dangerous OF disease
germs.
From these cells the disease works
rapidly down to the lungs and to all
appearances these organs immediate
ly become the seat of the trouble, ="
said the physician. However, the
fuel which is feeding the flames Of
disease, still is being furnished from
! the cells at the top Of the nose.
"The simple remedy, consequently,
/ is to draw this dangerous pus from
these cells. That is what was done in
the case which l have described, and
/ in "a hours the disease had disap-
peared. The lungs, Of course, still
were affected, and it took days before
the patient finally was able to leave
his bed"

WASHINGTON, April 30.-Baron
Takahira, the Japanese Ambassador.
was Just about to start for the State
Department today when represen-
tative of the Associated Press show
ed him the dispatch from Toxic, tell
ing Of the loss Of life by the explo-
sion on the cruiser Matsushima.
Commander Taniguchi, the nava
attache of the Japanese Embassy
said today that the regular compile
ment Of the vessel was about 355
men and that on her cruise she had
about 50 cadets aboard, making to-
tai of AIS. His cablegram, he said,
indicates that about rs were saved,
which would make the loss of officers
and men about 240.
Naval officers who have looked up
the record Of the cruiser drew the
conclusion that her loss was not a
heavy one to the Japanese navy. She
was of less than 5000 tons displace-
ment and of type which has not
been followed since her construction.
The popularity OF the Matsushima
was her armament, which consisted
of one Il inch gun, mounted on her
poop deck. In addition she carried
Il four-inch guns and battery OF
smaller caiber and four above water
torpedo tubes She was built in
1890, being designed and constructed
at Laseyne, France. Her principal his.
toric record consists OF her part in
the war between japan and China,
when she was the flagship Of Admiral
Ito in the battle Of the Yalu River.
She also participated in the battle Of
the Sea Of Japan. Two sister ships
were built, the Itsukushima' in 1890,
and the Hashidate, in 1891 She y
classcd as protected cruiser, having
a protected deck of u inches thick.
Her speed was l67 knots
1t is understood that the cruiser
was in use as school ship. Based
on the adyices, naval experts inferred
that the explosion was caused by
either defective electric wire, an
electric fuse or deterioration in the
stock OF smokeless powder, affected
by heat. The deterioration Of pow
der, causing it to ignite and ex-
plode, is one Of thesconstant dangers
aboard warships.
Every navy except the United
States has installed cooling machines
in the magazines Of their ships OF re-
cent type for the purpose Of main
tanning an even temperature.
1t is not regarded as probable that
the warship had such apparatus ~
stalled, as She was considered az out
Of date as fighting ship.
Acting Secretary Of the Navy New
berry today sent the following cable
gram to the American Naval Attache
at Toxic, who is directed to present t
70 the Japanese officials;

 welt a Present.

Although it is an indisputable fact that the nearest thing to real negro's heart is possum, when the possum Is fat and cooked with sweet potatoes the case is on record where one negro voluntarily parted with one of the fattest of it's kind, sent it to a parsonage unknown save by reputation, express charges prepaid.
 Nothing, it Is very probable, could go further in refuting the general impression that President Roosevelt, with all his al- legged dctatorial policies is unpopular with the colored population than the fact that he was the recipient of the 'possum in question.
 Stanley Rice, well known negro of Short Creek, sent the possum. The animal weighed IS pounds and the express charges amounted to $1 90. The box in- closing the possum was addressed to .Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, Washington. ID. e.
