counties of the state. Cards explain

Jerusalem, Palestine, May 3: The
inhabitants have been aroused to the
point of rioting by the operations OF
a party of English archaeologists who
are accused of having eXcavated be-
meath the inviolable mosque of Omar
and removed the relics reputed to in
clude the Ark of the Covenant, the
Censor and other sacred relics which
belonged to the tribe of Israel. Amy
Bey, the Turkish governor, was mob
bed on the streets for supposed COM
plicity in the proclamation and hooted
as a pig. The explorers are credited
with having eXcavated a passage from
the pool of Sloan toward the place
where once stood Solomon's temple
built in 1912 B. c.. pillaged and re-
stored and finally destroyed by Titus
A. D. 20. Failing to reach the relics
sought in this manner, the explorers,
according to the alleged confessions
of the guards of the mosque, bribed
the guards, entered the mosque and
after digging for six nights spirited
away the treasures "the whereabouts
of which" says an Arabic paper, none
know except God and these English"
- Washington, May 4: Invasion Of
Mexico within the immediate future
was predicted in the house today by
Representative Focht of Pennsylvania.
He said an army officer just returned
from the border told him Intervention
was inevitable. Mr.. Focht did not
name the officer Mr.. Focht said the
officer, a young man associated with
him, declared that the army was going
over the Mexican border ito stay"
Il would not think that the presi-
dent would object. We have been alb
sorbing everything they did not want
in Europe for years and years We
have taken as trade In stock what no
body wanted in the Philippines-an-
other white mans burden. We added
a little more down here in the West
Indies. Why could not we occupy
something that is worth something
ard where we could be of some great
good to somebody. / am not SOL
dier of fortune. do not expect to be
at the army, but we are called upon
to discuss occasionally paramount
questions and 1 believe this will be a
mighty interesting one before the
house adjourns." Mr. Focht contended
that the United States wanted empire
and 1t was about to follow the lure OF
gold and the call Of adventure"
Viterbo, Italy, May 3: Nicolo Nor
ra denounced by Gennaro Abbatem-
aggio as one of the actual assassins of
Gennare Cuoccolo and his wife faced
his accusers in the court. Their eX-
changes provoked a scene so violent
that President Bianchi suspended the
sitting. The defendant stood before
the judges bench and was prevented
from springing at the informers
throat only by intervening carbines.
Morras associates in the prisoners
pen alternately cheered him and ours
ed his "traducers." Again Abbatem-
aggio described the murders indicating
the part taken by Nora. Your whole
story is absurd" shouted Nora. IF
true / must have been an idiot. If I
were an idiot would not have been
chosen to organize the crime. The
truth is you are a miserable epileptic
now in an abnormal condition" A
verbal duel followed between the in
former and the accused exhausting
their knowledge of the Italian Ian
guage in expressing hatred and con-
tempt for each other. The other pris-
Oners behaved like mad men. Antonio
Cerator another alleged murderer,
pried his head through the steel bars
of the cage attempting to reach Abb
batemaggio, who turned and spat in
his face.
Charlotte Observer: The Piedmont
Traction company yesterday negotiat-
ed a contract with the American
Bridge company of New York, MAIN
tanning it's principal plant at Am
bridge, Pa, a suburb of Pittsburg, to
furnish the necessary steel for the
construction of all the bridges big and
little. between Charlotte and Kings
Mountain, Greenville and Greenwood,
s. c. The necessary bridge equipment
for the interurban between Greenville
and Spartanburg is not included in
this contract owing to the indecision
as to the exact route of the road be-
tween these two cities. The contract
for the bridges necessary between the
other terminals involves an eXpendi-
ture of about $150,000. 1t is stipulated
in the specifications agreed upon that
the bridges over Long creek, Catawba
river and South Fork will be con-
structed in completed style and ready
for trackage within four months. The
American Bridge company will send
representatives from the plant to the
scenes of operation to erect the bridges
and will begin to ship the immense
girders at once to the several points
along the way. The contract involves
about 1900 tons of steel and this, per-
haps. represents about half of what
will be necessary to erect all the
bridges. Down the line near Spartan
burg is a river that calls for a bridge
at the height of ia feet, one of the
highest bridges in this part of the
country. There are several streams in
that section that demand an immense
allotment Of steel to properly construct
a bridge. The specifications call for
standard models of steel construction
and the work will be done by some
of the most eminent experts in Amer
lea. the plans conforming to the ac-
Cepted styles for safety and capable
of carrying any sort of load.
THE warehouse operated by a
sovereign state through one of its
board of administration will be known
wherever cotton is known and its re-
ceipts will be current throughout the
financial world" In these words w.

Orleans Cotton Exchange, in an ad-
dress before the Louisiana State
Bankers association in Baton Rouge,
La, last Tuesday, indOrSed the pub
Iic-owned warehouse as the solution
for the present defective system OF
handling the sOuth's cotton crop. IF
we can store cotton in such ware
houses at a comparatively insignificant
expense to the owner" said Mr..
Thompson, and can furnish him with
a receipt of unquestioned and widely
approved character, and If we can
supply the shipper from such ware
house with a lading document of un-
questioned authenticity and sterling
values, our market will combine the
availing virtues of economy and prob
ity and will answer the demands of the
exporter, the banker and the producer
at once. These things can be done by
proper effort, supported by determined
purpose and when accomplished Will
establish conditions which will auto
maticaly bring supplies, buyers and
money to our markets, increase the
value of cotton to the producer there
of. add to our own Importance and
prosperity, and, finally, will liberate
economic forces which will make New
Orleans. and not Liverpool, the CEN
