Tarheels Afflicted.

Wilmington, N. c., June 22.-In
a talk to-day before the State Medi-
cal society now in session at Wrights-
vile beach on the hookworm disease,
DR.. J. A. Ferrell, assistant secretary
of the hookworm commission for
North Carolina, declared that in his
opinion probably one-fourth of the
rural population of North Carolina
was effected with the disease, and he
placed annual cost to State at about
$4,000.
He said that the counties reported
5000 white and $50 colored patients
were being treated. A vigorous fight
will be made on the disease and the
State is to be divided into districts
for this purpose.

Score of Soldiers Killed.

Mexico City, June 23.--Twenty
federal soldiers are reported to have
been killed and more than that num-
Der injured to-day when four cars of
train in which the troops were
being transported on the Manzanillo
line of the National railways in the
State of Colima broke loose from
the locomotive and dashed down a
steep grade.
When the cars reached curve
after tobogganing for six miles, and
attaining a terrific speed, they left
the track and were dashed to pieces.
The cars formed the rear portion
of troop train of 13 cars, which was
proceeding toward Platanar. The
number of men they contained was
not known, but railway officials here
estimate that there were not less
than $50. Many are said to have
jumped from the cars when they
started down the grade and thus saw
ed their lives. The accident was
due to the breaking of a coupling
and the failure of the brakes to work.
Passenger Engineer Watson backed
the remainder Of the train to the
scene of the wreck and sent pas
senger to the nearest telegraph sta
ton. Within a short time relief ex-
petitions were en- route to the scene.
In the meantime, the work Of caring
for the wounded was done by army
surgeons.

Selling price above all cost, S 20.42
Selling price is only an estimate
as the above cattle were for our
own use, hence not sold, but the les
son remains just the same. e.
. Under favorable circumstances this
indicates that cattle may be fed for
beef and the manure obtained for
the labor.
If the cattle were fed at seasons
when meal is lower in price the show
ing would be better. The silage, too,
may usually be grown for less than
$500 per ton and in that case it
would be so much to the advantage
of the feeder.
The foregoing shows that this in
dustry may be profitable as an aid
in building up the farm, but we must
present the following cautions, and
would suggest the desirability of fat
tening only a few, say car lot, the
first time and let the business grow
as one becomes accustomed to all
the conditions to be met.
II cattle are bought from a dis
tance, study the freight rates and
see if that may prohibit the enter
prise.
In buying be careful they are not
weighed just after receiving food and
water. &
Learn if the market in which you
wish to sell, will take heifers, or if
it pays better for steers, and act ac-
cordingly.
If heifers are bought, get spayed
ones if possible, or if not then such
as are not bred, or at least that are
not far advanced in pregnancy.
Buy local cattle if possible and
save not only freight, but the shrink
age caused by shipping, these often
being very serious drawbacks to the
enterprise.
Do not feed too long, but yet
enough to satisfy the market. When
cattle as nearly finished, the cost
of gain is much increased.
Buy as late in season as possible
and yet get them at low prices and
sell on the markets before early
lambs and grass-fed animals are Of
fered.

FOURTEEN DAYS WITHOUT FOOD.
Queer Action of Prisoner in Green
vile Jail.

Greenville, June 24,-W. A. McGin-
mis-, prisoner in the county jail, held
on the charge of bigamy, has gone
without food for the past fourteen
days and his action is a puzzle to the
county officials and physicians.
He alleges that his entire system
is out of order and he cannot eat,
yet examining physicians can ind
nothing wrong with him. He has re-
fused food for the past fourteen days,
and has not taken water often.

COMMITTEE FLUNKS.
Presents Whitewash Report on the
Cost of Living.

Washington, June 23.-The Sen
ate committee which was appointed
to make a bluff at investigating the
cost of living and whitewash the
tariff has performed it's function. 1t
brought in it's report this morning
which is all told bundle of the most
preposterous stuff ever put out by
any committee of Congress, and that
is saying a great deal.
The committee declares that living
is higher in England than it is in
this country. Therefore 1t cannot
be the tariff which causes the hlgn
cost of living in America. Senator
E. D. Smith entered a vigorous pro-
test against the committees making
any report at this time.
No Real Investigation.
He, as a member of the committee,
stated that no real investigation had
been made. Scarcely an item directly
affected by the tariff has been in
quired into, neither woolen clothes,
cotton goods, steel manufactures or
any one ofA other important items
upon which high duties are levied In
the tariff law in order to raise the
price has been touched.
It was not expected that the COM
mittee would make report at this
time, but the necessities of the politi-
cal situation make in desirable that
some Sd t of campaign material shall
be got up. Senator Lodges committee
accordingly has set to work with ex-
perts to get up material which would
show that the tariff has nothing to
do with the high prices to the con-
sumers, and that the farmers are the
ones whose products are higher than
those of any others. The three Dem
ocrats on the committee are Senators
Johnson of Alabama, Clark of Arkar-
sas, Smith of South Carolina.
No Minority Report.
These have no minority report and
Senator Smith is stirred up about the
whole affair. He declares that sew
eral times he urged upon the other
Democrats on the committee the di-
STABILITY of getting experts to work
to prepare minority report but that
Mr.. Johnson, the ranking Democrat,
replied that it was his understanding
that there would be no report at this
session. Mr.. Smith says that there
has been no real investigation upon
which any report could be based,
either minority or majority report,
and that he intends at least to show
the preposterous fallacies in the doc
ument presented to-day. He expects
to make another speech on the sub
ject tomorrow in which he will take
the report to task.

Tries to- Sever His Arm.

Atlanta, June 25.-In obedience to
the scriptural Injunction demanding
the cutting of of an offending hand
or foot. W. A. Gaffney, a prisoner at
the ATLANTA stockade, attempted to
sever his right hand with an axe.
He did not succeed, but his fingers
and thumb were partially cut through
and the bones in each finger badly
crushed.
Gaffney gave as the reason for his
act that he once killed man and had
enjoyed no ease of conscience since
committing the crime.
While surgeons were dressing his
wounds, Gaffney calmly discussed his
unusual act, giving no evidence what
ever of pain.

Feeding Beef Cattle.

Can we, with economy, feed beef
cattle in this State? Can we feed
cattle for market and at least get the
manure for our trouble? Can we
feed beeves at profit?
We are often asked these questions
and brief summary of results OF
feeding lot of about thirty may be
of interest as by this means we caa
present facts and not guess work.
This lot we began to feed on No.
vember 13 and it consisted Of a
mixed bunch of steers and heifers,
nearly half of each.
By February 26 they had gained
$500 pounds, or a gain of 213
pounds each, averaging a little more
than " pounds per head per week.
This, as any feeder knows, is a
very good gain and was particularly
good in this instance, as they were a
mixed lot of mountain cattle, OBJ
tanned locally, and of rather low
average in quality.
In this time they consumed 1867
coo pounds silage and 21,162R
pounds cotton seed meal, or an aver
age of 81 pounds silage and 7k
pounds of meal per head per day.
If silage is valued at $500 per
ton and meal at $4,000 per ton, then
these steers cost to feed at rate of
TN cents per day. To Offset the
cost of the feed we obtained the gain
of IA SIS pounds per week, the
manure, and the increase of value to
the whole animal that comes from
the added flesh.
In some sections it is expected to
sell the animal for at least one cent
per pound more when fattened than
they cost when thin. Using these
figures, let us see how our account
would stand. .
Silage consumed in the fifteen
weeks, at $500 per toR.--- $1.58
Meal for same time at $4,000

Police Of two South Side stations IN
Chicago entered the Holy Nazarene
Church Of the Apostolic Faith, Dear
born and west Thrticth streets, during
services Sunday night and arrested the
entire congregation, composed OF more
than 100 negro men and women.
Among those arrested were a woman
bishop and three preachers. All of those
arrested were placed in cells at the
police stations. Aside from saying that
riotous scenes had occurred in the
church, the police refused to explain
the reason for the attack on the church
and the Imprisonment OF the cOngrega-
ton.
Lieutenant Reed, who headed the
the police, said the members Of the
congregation had made nuisance OF
themselves through their religious
frenzy.
Their all day and all night meet
ings" said Lieutenant Reed, began
at O'Clock Sunday morning. The
shouting, yelling, crying and singing
continued hour after hour without

DOG REsCUEs CHILD.

Around the neck OF Dot, a Scotch

collar commemorative Of the fact that

Of the three-year-old daughter OF his

Dot seized the child's dress in his
teeth and fetched her ashore almost
before anyone realized that she had
been in danger. Safe ashore Dot laid
his burden down and barred his teeth
threateningly when dozen per
sons ran to lift the unconscious child.
They we're compelled to wait until
Mr.. Gilligan came. Enda was sitting
up by then and a physician had come
running at Mr.. Gilligan'S heels. As
soon as Edna was safe in her father $
arms Dot removed himself TO his posi-

FAKE FIGHT PICTURES.

A crowd of several thousand persons,
constituting the audience of the Savoy
Theater, in New York, arose yesterday
afternoon crying "FakeP' "SoldP'
"Stung" when a picture series of the
late fight at Reno was thrown upon
the screen.
The management of the theater had
advertised the pictures as the first OF
the fight, but had carefully seen to 1t
the word moving" had been left out
of the advertisements which literally
mastered the front of the theater.
The prices first charged were 10, 10
and % cents, which were cheerfully
paid by the spectators, who thought
they were going to see moving pictures
and not photographs. The ticket sale
was so great, that the management
raised the price to % cents all around,
but the crowds piled so fast that soon
only standing room was left.
After the first three or four pictures
had been thrown on the screen and
the crowd realized that they we're not
going to see the real moving pictures
of the big fight, they started riot
which resulted in the calling out OF
the reserves and on nearly wrecking
the front Of the theater The crowd left
their seats with boots and yells at the
management and assembled in front
Of the theatcr where they proceeded
to tear down everything that they
could lay their hands on.
Then they started for the ticket box,
but the fact that the guardian of the
money was very pretty girl, saved
the management the loss Of the day
receipts. ClamOring for their money
to be given back to them, the crowd
was slowly dispersed by the reserves.

BONAPARTE's AMERICAN SWEET
HEART.

Just two and a half years after the
death and burial OF "Old Mortality"
on Christmas Eve, 1903, all Baltimore
rang out with the greatest social event
that the city Of beautiful women had
ever witnessed-the marriage of
Jerome Bonaparte and Elizabeth Pat
terson.
The groom was resplendent in a
purple satin coat, heavy with costly
embroideries and gold lace, whose
skirt, lined with white satin, in the
latest fashion OF the directory beau
monde, fell over his satin knee
brceches and silk hose, to the very tops
Of the diamond buckles, that clasped his
low-cut shoes. His long, fine hair was
powdered snowy white, contrasting well
with his dark eyes and rich COM
plexion.
The bride wore a white muslin dress,
OF diaphanous texture, such as the
famous Indian looms have made
famous for centuries, which, despite rich
embroidery and costly lace, revealed the
beauty of arms and neck, and fitted in
the extreme OF fashion that emphasized
the outlines Of her faultless limbs and
perfect form.
"All the clothes worn by her might
have been put in my pocket" wrote
a lively correspondent OF that letter
writing era. Her dress was OF muslin
of an extremely fine texture. Beneath
her dress, she wore but one gar
ment "
Congratulations and good wishes were
showered upon her, and the weeks OF
the honeymoon were a dream of sweet
madness and gratifed ambition

CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLE-
MENT.

As result of speculations in the
stock market, both in the local
bucketshops and in the brokerage
houses Of Chicago. New York and
other cities, August Ropke, assistant
secretary Of the Fidelity Trust Com
pany. the oldest and most substantial
trust company in Louisville, Ky, was
arrested yesterday afternoon on the
charge OF cmbezzling from the bank,
and it is believed that when the ex-
perts, who are at work on the books
OF the institution. make their report
that a shortage OF nearly $500, 600 will
be found.
The downfall of Ropke comes as a
climax to spectacular bucketshor
operation originating in Louisville,
but later extending to many cities
and extending over a period from five
to eight years. That he was not dis
covered until the present time is due
to the fact that his luck for several
years prevented his being found out.
About year ago Ropke's losses in
creased and piled up against him sc
that he was forced to visit the strong
box OF the bank, but luck again pulled
him through.
One of his assistants was going over
his chiefs book and discovered q
questionable entry. President Bari
was notified, and after making per-
tsonal investigation he dismissed RopkC
after charging him with embezzlement
Experts from Chicago were brought
to Louisville to work on the books
They found many false entries.
