Mr.. Walter M. Annette. Then
entered the bride leaning on the
arm of her maid of honor, Miss
Mollie Andrews. At the altar
they were met by the groom and
his best man, Mr.. H. Rogers,
and the solemn words were said
which made them one.
The bridesmaids wore white

PENDANTS went with the newly
married pair to their future home
near Gaddy, S. c., where they
were given reception which
was enjoyed by all.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers are very
popular young people, as was
shown in the interest taken in
the marriage and the many
handsome presents received,
consisting almost entirely of cut
glass, silver, etc. One of the
most charming incidents of the
marriage was the music and
song by Miss Andrews, Il prom

of our young people will give us
such another treat in the near
future.

At a meeting held in Lumber

ship in the county is represent
ed. Representatives from the
various townships were called on
and every man stated that the
people of his township were OPP
posed to the proposed new county
of North Robson or to any
division of the county what
ever. A resolution was adopt
ed, signed by representatives
from every township except
Parkton and Red Springs,
urging the Senator and Rep
resentatives to oppose any di-
vision of the county whatever,
as the matter was not made an
issue in the campaign and the
majority of the people are un-
alterably opposed to division.
Ex-Sheriff Geo. B. Mcleod,
chairman of the county Demo

stated before the meeting that

Railroads Ask For Relief-Con-
ference With Governor Kitch-

There was notable gathering
of high railway officials in Ra-
leigh Thursday in the office of
Governor Kitchin. The railway
officials said they desired an op-
portunity to appear before some
proper tribunal to be suggested
by the Governor to have an in
vestigation made as to whether
or not the present passenger
rates are unreasonably low. They
said that at the time the SETTLE
ment was made of the rate ques-
ton between the railways and
the State it was contemplated
that one years trial should be
given the present rates and that
at the expiration of this year
either side could have the matter
re-opened, and that in carrying
out this part of the agreement
Governor Glenn in his message
to the Legislature at the special
session of 1908 recommended
that the Legislature authorize
the Corporation Commission to
give the railways a hearing after
the expiration of the one-year
period provided the railways de-
sired to be heard. The railway
officials insisted that a hearing
should be given them, and sc
another conference was appoint
ed to be held on Saturday, JAN
uary 3Oth.

HAPPENINGS GATHERED IN AND
AROUND WASHINGTON, D. 6.
WHOLE WORLD TO TOAST.
Taft Writes Sentiment for Portola Fes
tival Day.

San Francisco, Oct. 16.-The toast
composed by President Taft, which will
be drunk all over the world at the hour
when the Portola festival opens here
next Tuesday, has been received by the
committee in charge of the celebration.
The toast follows:
"Since Portola looked through the
Golden Gate, San Francisco has twice
become the imperial city of the Pacific,
first by the energy of pioneer race
and steady growth into the Western
metropolis; second, after complete de-
struction by the great flames and in
the face of insurmountable obstacles
by a regeneration so rapid and COM
plete as to be the wonder of the world.
May her future growth be as remark
able as her past, and may her civic,
and the individual hap
piness of her citizens keep pace with
it,
Arrangements have been made for
the drinking of this toast in all foreign
countries where Americans gather, and
by official and civic organizations
throughout the United States. With
the drinking Of the toast the school
will arise and cheer the re-
built city. Everywhere the drinking
of the toast and the cheering of the
children will be timed to agree with
the hour Of the opening Of the festival,
which begins at noon (Paciic time),
October l9.

Mikado's Government Was Alarmed at
American Influence in Manchurian
Railroad Matters-Insists on Being
Consulted Regarding Her Alleged
Rights in Manchuria.

Pekin, Oct. 14.-Japan has taken Of
fetal cognizance Of the reported efforts
of British and American interests to
arrange with China to build the Kin
Chow -Tsi-Tsihar railway, as it is con-
sdered that the proposed construction
of the road has grown out of the defeat
of the plan to build the Hsinmintin.

Japan has formally notified China
that, while it does not intend to OBJ
struct that government yet it will main
tain it's right to be consulted with re-
spect to Manchurian railways.
Recent events in connection with the
recall of Charles r. Crane precipitated
Japan's action. 1t is understood that
the action Of the American secretary of
state followed Japan IS solicitations, not
only on account of Mr. Cranes alleged
utterances, but because of American ac-
tivities in Manchuria and of another
former American official, whom the
japanese regarded as exceedingly active
in the anti-Japanese movement in Man

The Japanese appear to be alarmed at
the American activities, which seem to

CUBAN FRUIT CROP SUFFERS.
Damage in Vicinity of Havana Esti-
mated at S1,000,0OO.

Havana, Oct. 12.-The most serious
tornado since the big blow of October
Il, 1906, struck Cuba early today, de-
vastating the western portion of the
island. In Havana many minor build
ings were blown down or unroofed,
FIVE persons were killed and about %
were injured.
The greatest damage done was in the
harbor. where forty or fifty lighters,
many launches and small tugs were
either sunk or blown ashore.
At Sasa Blanca great anxiety was felt
throughout the day for the safety of
the Ward liner Moro Castle, from New
York, and of the Plant line steamer
Miami from Key West.
Both of these steamers, however, ar
rived safely at $50 this afternoon.
The total damage in Havana and vi
cinitv is estimated at $l,000,000.
Communication with the interior has
been interrupted, except with parts of
Havana and Pinar del Rio provinces,
in which orange and other fruit crops
suffered severely.
There were heavy floods at Vuelta
Abaio, the tobacco region, but the to-
bacco crop has not been seriously af-
fected beyond the washing out of the
seed beds, which at this season of the
year may be renewed.

MRS. HARTMAN RICHEST WOMAN
Wizard Left s3Oo,ooo,ooo, of Which
S267000,OOO Goes to Her.

New York, Oct. 12.-Mrs. Mary Har-
riman, widow of the late Edward H.
Hartman, is the wealthiest woman in
the world. The estate is valued at
$300,000,000, according to a statement
by a close friend and business associ-
ate. Out of this Mrs. Hartman re-
ceives $267, 100000, a fortune beside
which the wealth of Mrs. Hetty Green
and Mrs. Russell Sage seems small
With the exception of Rockefeller
Rothschild, the Duke of Westminster
and perhaps one of the Gould fortunes,
Mrs. Hartman s wealth is greater than
that of any other person.
The friend quoted said that Mr. Har-
riman himself said day or two before
his death that he would leave $780,
100000. He continues:
'Mr. Hartman called his wife and
children to him and told them of the
vast estate he would leave and he told
them he would leave most of it to his
wife. This meant all but 33.000,000
which he intended to divide among his
few other relatives and old
"To each of his five children he gave
Sc 100000 in bonds and other securities,

and clerks who had stuck faithfully to

JAPAN MUCH DISTURBED.
Americans and British to Build Rail
road in China.

Washington. Oct. 15.-American and
British capitalists have about completed
arrangements with the Chinese govern
ment to build railroad from Chin
Chow Flu through Mongolian territory
to Tsitsihar, a distance of about 400
miles. This fact seems to have dis
turbed the equanimity of Japan.
Published reports from Pekin indi-
cate that Japan has given China notice
that it will maintain its right under
the two treaties concluded last month
TO be consulted with respect to Man
churian railways, Japan says it re-
serves decision with regard to subse-
quent action.
Among officials here it is regarded as
doubtful if Japan will be permitted to
interfere. without objection, in this or
other enterprises in Chan or Man
churia in which Americans are inter
ested. The fact that an objection to
the construction of the proposed Chin
Chow Fu-Tsitsihar road is limited at by
Japan is regarded here as tending to
support allegations of monopolistic in
clinations Oh the part of Japan.
The proposed railroad through Mon
gola will be about 400 miles in length
to Tsitsihar, and, if extended on the
Amur, its total length will approximate
600 miles. The fact that it will tap the
Russian Trans-Siberian road at Tsitsi-
har is thought to explain the supposed
uneasiness of Japan, and. inasmuch as
the Chinese Eastern and South Man
churian line, because of its more direct
route and shorter distance to the south,
would be likely to become a strong
to the latter road, which is
now controlled by Japan.
Government officials here regard ia
pans opposition to the Hsinihintun-
Fakumen line as retarding the develop
ment by China of a portion of her ter
ritory, and as in direct violations of ar
ticle of the treaty of Portsmouth,
which states that "Japan and Russia
reciprocally engage not to obstruct any
general measures common to all, or
steps which China may take for the de-
of commerce and industry in
