Judge Csnnor Declines to
Require Bill of Particu-
lars to be Furnished.
Federal Court at Wilmington POstpOn.
ed and the Date of the Raleigh
Term Is Changed to
December Is.

Raleigh, N. c., Oct. 5.-Judge Con-
nor, of the Federal Court, today made
an order declining to require the pros
ecution to furnish the defendants with
a bill of particulars in the noted case
against Cashier ]. r. B. Carraway, of
a New Bern bank, and against c. L.
Stevens, editor of the New Bern Jour
nal, and ]. F. Taylor, charged with
conspiracy with the cashier of the
bank through overdrafts.
However, the judge did direct that
counsel for the defendants be permit
ted to examine the checks involved in
the cases and the books of the bank
ent while the inspection is made.
Judge Connor gave notice that he
would try this case at New Bern for
the court term to convene October Is,
the Carraway case, because he has
to be in Richmond shortly thereafter
to sit with the Circuit Court of Ap-
peals. Therefore, he will name date
for special term for this case only.
Another order by Judge Connor
makes perpetual an injunction re-
straining ]. B. Winders, of Warsaw,
from cutting timber from lands in
Duplin county in which the Norfolk &
Southern Railroad has an interest.
Orders are also made by Judge Con-
nor continuing both the Wilmington
and Raleigh Federal Courts. The
Wilmington court Is continued from
November to February s, 1910. The
Raleigh court from November % to
December 13. These continuances are
for the reason that Judge Connor will
spend some time in Richmond sitting
with the Circuit Court of Appeals.

PRACTICAL FLIGHTS ARE
NOW NEAR AT HAND
Mr.. Wilbur Wright Says He Will Have
Machines Of Commercial Value
i'm Two or Three Years.

College Park, Md, Oct. 14.-The day
of the use of the aeroplane for busi-
ness journeys is almost at hand, de-
clares Mr. Wilbur Wright.
In the course of two or three years,
he asserts, he will be building ma
chimes that would be of practical use
for making short Journeys.
He made this statement in the
course of an interview with Mr.. Gus
tavus A. Duncan, a mining engineer
of Nevada, who visited him at his
shed here. In the mining and desert
regions of the Southwest there are
many places which cannot be reached
on horseback or by railroad, and Mr..
Duncan wanted to know if he could
get an aeroplane by which to make
such trips.
While Mr. Wright could not accom-
modate him now, he assured Mr.. Dun
can that he would in two or three
years have machines that could be
depended upon to do the work.

THE HANDWRITING is THERE,

When Guglielmo Ferrero, the great
Italian historian, was in this country
last year he was made much of and
he was welcome guest at the White
House. When he went home he told
the people of his country that the an
tl-plutocratic movement in America is
essentially struggle between the old
traditions OF the Puritant democracy
and gold, luxury and pleasure-a rep
et1tlon under modern and more COM
plicated forms of the struggle which
rent Rome for three centrues. en-
dustr1alism," he went on to say,
seems to be destroying a part of the
old-time America of Franklin and
Washington, and creating an America
less American than that of the past
When and where this destruction will
cease no one can say"
There is some truth in these state
ments. Privilege and special interests
do run riot in the national tariff bill.
Trusts and monopolies are crushing
out in divers directions competition.
But S1gnor Ferrero is far too pessi-
mistic. The people are beginning to
see the danger that threatens the
country and they are beginning to
curb it, to regulate it.
All that Signor Ferrero asserts was
fully true ten years ago. Then Con-
gress and the various legislatures
| were controlled by bosses and corpo-
rations, but the evil work has been
| largely minimized. The public con-
| science has been quickened, and the
prospect is that America will be kept
from going to the dogs as Rome did
| Governor Hughes started a great rev.
| olution when he exposed the big in
surance companies of New York, an6
today fully one-half of the country is
determined to shackle special priv.
ilege. There are states, it is true
like Pennsylvania, and New Jersey
and Utah.. and West Virginia still
ruled by bosses and magnates, bu
the reform movement is spreading
and ten years more will see the coun
try as nearly rid of privilege as Ital,
or any other land is. When the Unite,
States Senate is fully expurgated
Signor Ferrero may know that the re
form has eliminated.

MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST.
An Awful Toll Collected by COnsump.
tiOn-Many Unnecessary Death
From This Disease.

if people could only understand that
systematic catarrh is an internal dis
case that external applications can
not cure, they would not need to be
warned so often about this malady,
which, when neglected, paves the way
oftentimeS for consumption, at the
cost of millions of lives every year
Yet catarrh may be cured, if the right
treatment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by a general dis
eased state of the system which leads
commonly to annoying and perhaps
serious local conditions, which may
prove a fertile breeding ground for
germs of consumption. External rem
edies give but temporary ease.
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing a medicine
which is absorbed and carried by the
blood to all parts of the system, so
that the mucous membrane or inter-
nal lining of the body is toned up and
made capable of resisting the infec-
ton of consumption and other dis
eases.
We have a remedy prepared from
| the prescription of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made ca
tarrh a speciality, and whose record
| was patient restored to health in
every case where his treatment was
followed as prescribed. That remedy
is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are SO posi-
tive that it will completely overcome
catarrh in all its various forms
whether acute or chronic, that VIZ
promise to return every penny paid III
for the medicine in every case where
it fails or for any reason does no
satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu
Tone on our recommendation AM
guarantee. We are right here wher
!. you live, and you do not contract an.
, obligation or risk when you try Rexal
: Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. w
have Rexa1 Mucu-Tone in two sizes
SO cents and $1.00. Very often tn
taking of one 50-cent bottle is sufl
cient to make a marked impression
upon the case. OF course in chroni
cases a longer treatment is necessar.
The average in such instances is thre
;, $1.00 bottles. Remember you can OF

LONDON WORTH $4,000, ,OOO, 900.
County Council Completes Study OF
Land Value in Metropolis.

London, Oct. 13.-The London coun-
ty council has spent a decade in pre-
pairing a ground plan Of London show
ing the owners of the land. This is
nearly completed. 1t shows that 34,-
500 landlords own land covering 113
square miles, these being mostly sin
gle house owners.
Sixty square miles are owned by 1877
persons, organizations and corpora
tions One-third of the area belongs
to the crown, the Ecclesiastical Com
missioners, the county council and the
city corporation. 1t is estimated thai
the present value of the land on which
London is built is $4,000, 900
which will be increased to $3,175, ,O00,
900 by 1880.

NEW YORK THE ART CENTRE.
So Says Mr.. Seymour Thomas on His
Return From Paris.

New York, Oct. 14.-Mr. Seymour
Thomas, an artist of this city, return
ed yesterday on the Vaderland, of the
Red Star line, with his wife, after
having spent three years in Paris,
where he exhibited many of his pic
lures, one a portrait of DR.. William
Osler, which, he said, was we'll re-
ceived. He painted in Paris por-
trait of NJ Antonin Dubost, president
Of the French Senate.
Asked if he thought, like SO many
other returning artists, that the art
centre of the world is moving to this
country, he said:
Eyes, I am of that opinion. New
York is becoming the art centre. Art
lists do not remain in Paris as long
nowadays as in former years. Where
men lived in Paris thirty years, they
remain now only two or three years
in order to get the atmosphere.

SOUTHERN CHIVALRY.
A Movement AfOOt to MemOrialize
Heroic Women of Confederacy.

Boston Transcript.
From the standpoint of "chiva1ry'
it is somewhat of a reproach to the
men of the North that while the aid
the women of that section gave to the
cause of the Union is as yet without
are raising funds for a monument
commemorating the services and sac
rifices of the women of the South to
the Confederacy.
In South Carolina the men have
subscribed $4,000 for the monument
and the legislature has given state
aid. No woman is allowed to contrib
ute to the South Carolina collection
In other states, however, the line has
heretofore not been so strictly drawn
but in the future the South Carolina
example is likely to have the force OF
law.
Presumably the monument will be
erected in Richmond, which is still
sentimentally the capital of the
Southern Confederacy." In Richmond
notably in "the museum" in "the Con-
federate White House." are already
many visible evidences of the loyalty
of the women of the South to the Con-
federacy while it was battling for life
and of the sympathy their daughters
and granddaughters feel for "the lost
cause"
The exhibition of devices to which
the Confederate women were driver
when all the "men folks were at the
front and the blockade was drawing
it's coils tighter, is pathetic in it's IL
lustration of the efforts to make ne
cessities satisfy tastes formed on lux
uries.
The Confederate cloth, hand wover
and dyed with such extracts as
could be substituted for chemicals
the rough dresses bearing improvise6
finery, either of deftly fashioned rem.
nants or of coarse substitutes or
which refinement had lavished inge
nuity-aIl these things bespeak {
state of siege, with the women of the
besieged doing their utmost to hell
the defenders and setting brave faces
toward the encircling foe.

Threw Himself in Front of a Steam

Yesterday, Death Result y

Asheville, N. c., Oct 13-Mr. J. r.
Giles, prominent resident of Will
mington, N. c., and for two weeks an
inmate of an Asheville sanitarium for
mental diseases, sprang from beside
an attendant who was taking him for
a walk at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon
and plunged headlong beneath the
wheels of fifteen-ton steam roller
re-surfacing the macadam road four
miles from Ashevile and his head was
fearfully mashed, death being instant
Mr.. Giles was high school teacher.
tWenty-seven years old, who, it is said,
had been morbid and disposed to sui
eide for half dozen years, having in
the period of his two weeks stay in
the sanitarium slashed his throat and
sought to get his attendant to allow
him to walk on the railway track. AS
the two approached the roller this af-
ternoon the attendant moved close to-
him but thought that when the front
roller passed there was no danger MT.
Giles, however, ran around the keeper
and threw his head beneath the rear
roller His astuteness was shown by
the fact that the roller was moving
slowly and the driver could have
stopped the machine if the man had
cast himself in front of the engine
But Mr.. Giles leaped in front of the
rear roller, which the driver could not
see, and his head was crushed beneath
the ponderous wheel.
