Mysterious Disappearance.

Fayetteville, Sept. 4.-Samuel Hur-
ley, a prosperous young farmer of
Cumberland county, has mysterious
ly disappeared, leaving disconso-
late young bride of less than a year,
who is utterly unable to account for
his strange disappearance. Thursday
morning Hurley's wife, who moved
here with her husband from Gas
tonia shortly after their marriage,
returned after visit to a neighbor,
to their home in list township, when
she found her husband preparing to
go to town. He kissed her and de-
parted, and the young wife has not
seen him since.
Her inquiries have elected the in
formation that he came to this city,
sold his horse and buggy for $115
and was not seen since 2:30 o'clock
that day. He had money in the bank
but did not draw it. There is no
apparent reason for his disappear
ance, though he told his wife after
moving to this county that he might
be suddenly called away from home
for a few days. She is confident he
will return.

Statue of Won Steuben.

Berlin, Sept. 4.-The gift Of the
American people to the German ma
ton, a replica of the Washington
statue of General Baron Won Steu-
ben, the Prussion-American general,
was unveiled at Potsdam Saturday
in the presence of members of the
German imperial family and large
assemblage Of foreign diplomats
and German statesmen. The monu-
ment was presented to Emperor Viii
liam by Congressman Richard Bart
holdt Of Missouri and G. B. Wolf
fran, of New York, the special am
bassadors of President Taft.Both Mr..
Bartho1dt in his presentation speech
and the Emperor in accepting the
gift, emphasized the blood relation
ship of the German and American
people and the long friendship ex-
listing between the two countries.
The unveiling of the statue was one
of the features of this years celebra-
tions of the battle Of Sedan, one OF
the principal national holidays in
Germany.

No Dearth of Candidates.

Raleigh, n. c., Sept. 4-Although
kilograms and letters are coming in
to Governor Kitchinf1 urging the ap-
poinement of one and another favor
ite to the superior court judgeship
for the ninth district, to succeed
Judge J. Crawford Biggs of Durham,
the latter's resignation has not yet
reached the Governor.
It is announced from Durham that
Judge Biggs had forwarded his res
ignation and that he is retiring from
the bench on account of the great
amount of time that his duties keep
him from his family and that he is
to resume his Durham practice and
join the law faculty Of Trinity Col
1ege.
H A. Foushee and A. H Sykes,
now recorder of Durham, are being
mentioned for the place. No inform
alton as to who are being urged for
the place could be obtained from
the Governors Office, except that
numerous appeals for a number Of
prominent lawyers of the district are
being received.
Solicitor Sam Gattis is not asking
for the appointment, but he has
friends here and elsewhere in the
district who are urging his appoint
ment. Many of these are in this
town and before the suggestion CT
Mr. Foushee they would have been
for Gattis against the world. The
solicitor would like to step up to
the bench, of course, but does not
intend to make any race for it. His
position as solicitor has not been
what it was before the recorderships
at Greensboro and Durham we're
created. The fees in Durham are less
now than they are in Person or
Granville and solicitors had submis-
sions that amounted to more than a
whole court now

Not to Be Dissolved

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. Al. H.
McLaurin, president of the Southern
Wholesale Grocers' Association Sat
urday gave out the statement that he
had telegraphed to the Department
of Justice and had received reply
that the department was not respon-
sible for the published report that
the association was to be dissolved
and that Mr.. Street, United States
district attorney at Birmingham, Ala.
would give out statement correct
ing the error. Mr.. McLaurin further
states that he has a letter from the
Department of Justice under date of
August 81, which declares that no
decree had been agreed upon be-
tween the United States and the
Southern Wholesale Grocers' eAsso-
citation which provides for the deci-
sion. Mr.. McLarin reiterates his
statement that the association will
not be dissolved or it's methods of
operation be in any manner chang
ed Or disturbed.

Babeas Corpus Proceedinas.

Hon. G. G. Daniels left for Snow
Hill where he appears before Judge
Frank Carter in Habeas Corpus pro-
ceedings for the purpose of liberat-
ing Mr.. J. R. Brown young machin-
ist Of this city who was charged by
a young lady of Walstonburg with
assault.
The evidence was plainly that of
consent on the part of the girl and
the trial justice remarked he did not
believe the court would ever con
vict but that it was his duty to bind
over, so he had Brown sent to the
Snow Hill Jail.
The case will be heard at five
o'clock this afternoon

This Would Make Very iiot
Summer

New York Journal.
This has been a very hot sum-
mer all over the world. For the
first time in years there has been
no floating ice off the coast of Alas
ka, and Switzerland's glaciers have
shrunk astonishingly. Everybody has
been more or less uncomfortable.
But there could be much hotter
SUNNI mers-as the accompanying puc-
ture shows! Our Summers are hot
mainly because our sun is hot. Our
sun is 95,O00,O00 miles away from
US. If the star Arcuturus should sud
denly change places with our sun,
the Summers would be much hot
ter.
Arcturus is probably the most
powerful sun visible from our earth,
and gives one thousand to three
thousand times more light than the
sun does. 1t is visible now in the
Western half of the Southern sky,
and is easily distinguishable be
cause of it's ruddy or orange cClor.
If Arcturus should suddenly change
places with our sun. Venus and the
Earth would melt like snowfakes at
the mouth of a furnace, and even
far away Neptune, which only gets
d CuOuSd1OCA pdIC VI Cl1O ooh . i1SAiC
that we do, would swelter in torrid
heat.
Naturally no one would last long
enough to know how uncomfortable
the transposition would be. Astroa 40
mers say that even if Arcturus's OUT
er rim were as close to us as the
sun, it would still load the earth
with asphyxiating fumes comparable
to those given off by a lump Of white
hot iron weighing 375,OO0,000 tons,
while the noise of it's explosions
would speedily deafen everybody.
So it would seem that even though
the sun has been hot this Summer,
we could have worse suns
Think of that the next time a
moderate heat wave comes along
and remember how comparatively
cool you are.

ed to avoid the grave and imminent
danger of European war. Then fol
lowed the conference. of AlgeciraS in
1906, which patched up an arrange.
ment that saved the face of Ger
many, admitted to some extent the
claims of France and Spain to In
terfere in the affairs of Morocco and
yet tied the hands of France in re
gard to the absorption within her
own dominion of the unru1y Berber
State-that is to say, when the con-
ference broke up France and Spain
had received a special mandate to
preserve order in Morocco and the
rest of Europe was to remain con.
tent with equality of trading rights,
the assurance of Moroccan indepen-
dence and the absence of fortifica-
tions along the shores where the At
lantic and the Mediterranean meet.
The Algeciras agreement did not
work out entirely to the satisfac.
ton of Germany, and a new under
standing was reached between Ber-
lin and Paris in 1909, under which
it was declared that the imperial
German government has only econo-
mic interests in Morocco; it has rec
ognized that the special political in
terests of France in this country
make for the firm establishment of
internal peace and order, and it is
resolved not to impede the represen-
tation of those interests. Thus by
the declaration of 1909 France was
recognized by Germany, having al
ready been acknowledged by all til .
other powers as the official protec-
tress of the subjects of all those
States whose interests in Morocco
are economic, not political.
Thus when Germany sent a war
ship to Agadir to protect the rights
of certain German firms whose eX-
istence had been disputed against
"a certain ferment' among the local
tribes, which is said to be non-eX-
istent, her act OF intervention amount
to a complete disaVOWal of the Ordl-
nary Interpretation Of the Algeciras
act and also of the France-German
declaration Of February 1909. Moth
ing seems to have happened in the
interval to make the commercial in
terests Of Germany in Morocco more
extensive than they were two, or
even five years ago. According to
the latest returns German trade
with Morocco has rather decreased
than increased in the last few years
and at the best it never represented
more than IL IL per cent. of the
total. For 1909, being the last year
for which returns are available, Ger
many's trade with Morocco YVES only
9 IL per cent. credited to Great
Britain and 81 per cent. to France.
Germany's trade with Morocco in
1909 was exactly equal to 1-15 of /
per cent. of her whole foreign trade,
and although of the tonnage which
entered Moroccan ports in that year
1875 per cent. was German, the re-
turns from the port of Tangiers
would indicate that four-fifths of it
was in ballast While it seems incon-
ceivable that Germany should delib
erately provoke a European war in
defense of interests SO slender as
these, the fact should not De forgot
ten that the official publications, like
| the Naval Year Book, through which
Germany instructs her people in in,
ternationa1 fairs, set a very high
value indeed on the possession OF
Morocco.

Fire Dstroys Ice Factory and Bot
tling Plant at Anderson.

Anderson, S. c., Sept. 4.-Fire this
morning destroyed the plant and
outfit OF the Blue Ridge beverage &
Extract Co., situated on the Blue
Ridge Railway right-of-way near
Manning street, entailing a loss of
$4,000 with $4,000 insurance. The
fire oridinated from the huge smoke
stack which had become red hot.
The frame building was dry and the
flames quickly spread. Before the
fire department could arrive on the
scene the building was one mass OF
flames and it was impossible to save
1t or the contents. The principal
loss is in the ice factory and the
bottled goods on hand. 1t is prob
able that the plant will not be re-
built.
