Harrisburg, Pa, Nov. 19.-Daniel
X. Cannon, father OF Leroy Cannon.
the young Pennss ivan;an executed in
Nicaragua, asked the state department
today to obtain positive confirmation
OF the news of the young mans death.
The young mans mother said today:
We will Try 10 have the body Of our
boy sent here ii he is dead, and we

III letters from Honduas. Cannon
stated that he WAS in that republic
curing August and September because
of President Zelaya's enmity toward
him.
Washington, Nov l9-The execution
by order OF President zelaya of Nica-
ragua, of two Americans, Leonard
Grace and Leroy Cannon, condemned
as hSurrectionlsts, with the results
ing international complications, re-
calls the thrilling events of the ten
years war i'll Cuba when the Spanish
government executed Summarily Gen.
Ryan and a number of Americans who
We're captured and charged with be-
ing ilibusters. At that time Ameri-
can feeling was wrought to a high
pitch OF excitement and Il number Of
American vessels were ordered to
Cuban waters and an immediate OUT
break OF war between the United
States and Spain was averted only
through the prompt apology by Spain
for the action of the Cuban captain-
general and the payment OF indemnity
to the families of the victims.
Tense Situation
y tense situation exists today as the
result OF the execution of the two
Americans.
The state department had adopted
an attitude of reserve and was awaits
ing some sort of an explanation from
the Nicaraguan government. 1t was
assumed that the press dispatches re-
ceived last night rom Managua were
accurate in the statement that the
men were executed after court
martial trial on the charge that they
had attempted, by the use of dyna-
mite mines to blow up some of PRESS
dent Zelaya's troop transports.
II the department advices confirm
this story, the question at issue will
be whether the charge against the man
assuming that it is proved, justified
their execution. Probably everything
Will depend upon the method pursued
by Cannon and Grace in their at
tacks upon Zelaya's forces. If it
shoud appear that the Americans
slipped within the lines of the gov
eminent forces under disguise when
they planted their mines, they should
have been treated as prisoners of war
on the theory that an attack ON a shin
by mine is a legitimate act of lawful
war. In the latter case. there is no
doubt that President Zelaya will be-
called to account and ample repara.

Planning for Big Celebration.

All comittees oe the Twent-
ieth of May celebration, which is
to be held in this city next month
concentrating the signing of the
Mecklenburg Declaration Of In
dependence, are rapidly complet-
ing their programs for the big
event. The several parade COM
mittees. including the floral, the
colonial and others, are making
preparation for the most spec
tacular affair in the city. The
Daughters Of the American
Revolution, the Children of the
Confederacy, the Colonial Danes
and other historic organizations
will participate in the procession.
The Chairman of the floral parade
committee is anxious that al
members of these organizations
who do not live in Charlotte shall
be present on Taft Day" ane
take part in the parade.
Definite plans have been made
to erect an immense reviewing
stand on the Mecklenburg County
court house grounds from which
president Taft and his party, in
GLIDING Mrs. Taft and Mrs
Stonewall Jackson, will review
the parade.

DURHAM. N. c.. April Is, 1905
what God wrought by Them.

In 1900 there were in North
Carolina only eighteen local
school tax districts, all in larger
towns. Today there are 757
such districts. including not only
the larger towns but most of the
villages and at least five or six
hundred distinctly rural COM
munities. Every local tax district
has voluntarily voted upon itself
an additional levy of from fifteen
to fifty cents on the 500 dollar
valuation Of property and CORES
ponding amounts on the poll, the
proceeds to supplement funds re-
ceived from regular State and
county sources. These facts,
recently brought out by Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction
Joyner, are gratifying in the
extreme. They show that edu-
cational progress is not only
rapid but comes as a genuine
popular movement. North
Carolina public sentiment has
become aroused to the benefits
of enlightenment and the evils
of ignorance. The pioneer

and organizers-these devoted
efforts have borne rich results

/. How do men rob God?
l. By robbing people of their
character. 2. By robbing others
of their rights. 8. By giving
their service to sin. 4. By the
wrong use CT Gods money. 5.
By neglecting to do what God re-
quires. 6. By giving to satan
the best we have. z. By oppos-
ing the influence of the gospel.
8. By standing in the way of sin

II. Detect the God robbers.

troyers. 8. Destroyers of others.
4. Destroyers of precious time.
5.Destroyeres OF Gods ministers.

They preferring to cruelty Christ

iii. Think of the curses sent on

|. Cursed with Gods rejection.
2. With poverty of body and soul:
3. With the leprosy of doubling

Some people would be eased in

destruction were not in the Bible,

ter face the truth here that there

then have to face the truth that

through Elgin. Workmen attracted
the engineers attention by signalling
with their shovels. The emergency
brakes were applied and the train
stopped. The fire was in the vestibule
and had nearly eaten through into a
coach loaded with women and children
who were badly frightened. The
cause of the fire is thought to have
been the extreme heat and the lack
of oil on one of the journals.
