AN INJUSTICE
Done Midshipman Hawkins By The Public
Press-tie Was Not Intoxicated

PreSS- Tie was moi Intoxicated
Lieut.. Commander d. w. Wurtzs-
baugh, u. S. NJ, aid to the superin-
tendent of the Naval Academy, has
made statement to the Capital deny
ing that Midshipman Rhodes Haw-
kins, of the rifle team, was intoxicat-
ed. He was returned to the Naval
Academy recently for an offense
against navy regulations, but the
offense was not that the young man
was under the influence of liquor, and
he is freed entirely from any suspicion
of intoxicaton.
Midshipman Hawkins was punished
for violation of regulations by being
given 100 demerits yesterday and
having his September leave taken
from him. This is certainly making
the punishment fit the crime, which
however, was not intoxication, and
the public press has done Midshipman
Hawkins an injustice.
The Capital (at all times friendly
disposed to the e'midshipmen) regrets to
have fallen into error through the
misleading accounts published in Bal
timore daily papers.

With Mr.. Thomas Basil, foreman,
of the jury de lunatico inquendo, it
was decided upon testimony of at
tending physicians and others to send
Miss Catherine Duval to an instita-

widened. One of the sisters, Miss
Melora died recently, and the remain
ing one is over 80 years old and ser.

the stem and leaves have continued to
grow on through stamens and pistils
in a most unusual fashion piercing
the centre of the corolIa. The flower
is a novel sight and another freak Of

of her mother at Rowlandsville, Cecil
county, the past week,is is convalescent
and is expected to resume her duties
here next week. The many friends
here of Miss Shafer will be glad to
welcome her back again.
That will not murmur or complain
Beneath the chastening rod;
But in the hour of grief or pain
Will lean upon its God
A faith that shines more bright and
clear
When tempests rage without,
That when in danger knows no fear
In darkness feels no doubt
Blessed, therefore, is the hope of
those whose faith is tuned in har-
mony with love and trust in God, and
love and help for man; for then so
nicely will the balance adjusted be,
that none can say there is excess of
this, or lack of that, so truly and so
exactly, hath the Spirit wrought.

WHAT CENSUS SHOWS
RACE SUICIDE IN THE COUNTRY
AN ACTUAL FACT.
The Increase in Population Is Sole
ly Due to Observation-Disclosures
in Rural Districts.

Race suicide is the dominant eX-
hibit in the new census. 1t is true
that the country's population has i'll
creased, from 76.000,000 to approx
imately 90,000,0O0, but the iucrease
has been almost solely due to immi-
grafton. In former decades the aver
age increase in internal population
was 81 per cent. 1t has now fallen
off to six per cent, and in another 10
years will probably show decrease.
This is the reason census officials see
in the contrast cause for alarm SIM
liar to that which confronts France.
Such growth as the country has
enjoyed in the last ten years has
been largely due from immi grafton.
according to these returns. The VII
al statistics Of immigrants do not,
of course, enter into the general find
ings in this respect. They bea' II
an important way upon them, how
ever, considering that Immigrants
may be classed as natives after ten
years; and the general tendency 20
apply to them beyond that period as
well as to those of older residence.
There was a gross population in
1900 of 76.O00,000. The present es-
timated total is 90,000,000. Out of
the 100000 increase 100000
came from immigration. This makes
5 100000 as the natural increase
from those who we're in the couuIry
in 1900.
Another remarkable sho wing Of
the present census is the growth OF
cities at the expense Of rural dis
tricts. Many of the small citie. show
increases above so per cent. Fer ey
ample, Atlanta, Ca, shows 72; East
St. Louis, 81; Akron, o., 62, and
Detroit, 63.
About 40 per cent. of the. popula-
ton is city dwelling. Returns from
rural districts are not yet ready for
but so far as tneY have
been examined they show. save in
two states where local conditions ac-
count for an increase, positive fall

PELzER WOMAN SHOT.
infatuated Man Attempts Murder

Commits Suicide.
At Knoxville, Tenn, pedestrians
on South Broadway late Thursday
evening saw Henry Gardner, aged
26, approach woman, fire two shots
at her then turn the weapon upon
himself and commit suicide. Gard
ner is the son of a farmer living
three miles from the city.
The woman he tried to kill was
Mrs. Ellen Ball, who went to Knox
vile less than week ago from Pei
zer, S. c., and previous to that re-
sided at Spartanburg, S. c. The
woman was shot through one hand
and the lobe of one ear, and though
removed to a hospital is only slightly
hurt.
Gardner fired two shots into his
left breast and died almost instant

had rather die than live without the
woman, adding that she had gone
back on him. Gardner's friends sup
pcse he met the woman in South

BY the Democrats of Georgia, Who
Elect Hoke Smith Governor oxer
Little Joe Brown.

"Cannonism" played an important
part in Georgia politics during the
past several months and at the Delh-
ocratic primaries Tuesday brought
the defeat OF Leonidas F. Livin gston
and William NJ Howard, in point OF
service the oldest members of the
Georgia delegation in the national
house.
In the fifth district William Sch
ley Howard, a young attornew, won
a.. decisive victory over Livingston.
In the eighth district the returns
show a convention majority of four
votes for S. J. Tribble and Wednes-
day Congressman Howard filed no.
tice of contest of the election. He
charges Irregularities at two pre-
cincts in Elbert county, which gave
Tribble majority of four votes.
The other nine members of the
Georgia delegation in congress are
assured of denomination. The fight
against Livingston and Howard was,
in each case, based upon their al
legged desertion of the Democratic
party when it was sought last Dec
ember to change the so-called Cam
non rules of the house.
Former Gov. Hoke Smith won! the
nomination for governor over the
incumbent, Joseph M. Brown. The
popular majority of Smith In the
State was approximately 1000. Two
years ago Brown. whom Gov. Smith
had removed as chairman of the
State railroad commission, defeated
Smith for reelection by a popular
majority of more than 10000.
Among the few contests for other
State Offices, j. A. Perry won over
o. B. Stephens for railroad commits

NJ. Settler for State school comnlis
sioner; T. S. Fielder, won over the

THAT SIX PER CENT. TARE.
Charleston Exchange Opposes the
y New Cotton Law.

We learn from The News and Cou-
,rier that the members of f-the-Chars
lesion Cotton Exchange are almost
unanimously opposed to the carrying
out Of the law passed at the last
session of the Legislature, whereby
all cotton sold in this State may be
covered with bagging to the extent
of per cent. tare. The opposition
to this law took definite shape at a
meeting of the board of directors of
the Cotton Exchange in a series OF
resolutions. The legislation in the
resolutions is denounced as "unwise
and Injurious to the cotton interests
of this port" and the excessive bag
ging contrary to all the rules and
regulations of all cotton exchanges,
both domestic and foreign The
resolutions passed by the board OF
directors of the Cotton Exchange fol-
folWs:
Whereas, the Legislature Of this
State has enacted a State law that all
cotton scld in this State may be
covered with bagging to the extent
Of 6-per cent tare thus making a
500-pound bale entitled to thirty
pounds OF bagging; and
Whereas, said excessive bagging
is contrary to all the rules and regu.
lations of all cotton exchanges, both
foreign and domestic. and such ex.
cessive tare will be charged to the
buyer of the cotton. making the bus
mess a severe loss in its inception;
and
Whereas, in our opinion, such a
law is only attempting to sell bag
ging costing IL cents per pound
as cotton at an average price of IL
to IS cents; be it
Resolved, that this Exchange con-
denim such legislation as unwise and
injurious to the cotton business OF
this port.
