The Patterson Cotton Mill company, at Concord, orders the bnildiug of an other mill with 5,099 spindles, to cost $90,000. The Republicans of this district have decided to make a straight nomination for congress. Low water caused the explosion of the boiler at Taft’s sawmill at Troy, Montgomery county. Five men, Sam Ewing, John Ellis, Ed Dickson, Charles Morris and James Carpet, were in stantly killed. Four ethers were in jured, three fatally. The boiler was lit erally torn to pieces. Some were struck by pieces and others were scalded. THRi MEN KILLED. A Car Tails from the Top of a Mine to tho Bottom of the Shaft. Baltimore, Aug. 19. — Pete Ryan, foreman of the St. Lawrence mine, the property of the Anaconda mine, aud Jack Campbell and John Manning, two miners, were killed at 5:10 o’clock Wednesday morning by the fall of a car from the top of the mine to the bottom of the shaft, at the 1,200 level. .The miners were working at the bot tom beneath the bulkhead, at the 1,200 level, deepening the shaft, when the cage containing Ryan fell from the top, instantly crushing the life out of two meu below, aud also kliliug Ryan, who was in the cage. The latter had just came to the top aud was about to step out of the cage when the brake refused to work and the cage started down the shaft with fearful velocity.

We had not quite finished clapping hands over this statement beiore it was made clear to us that the men who are backing the ticket in New Eng land will demand that the government levy a fine ou every citizen who desires to buy foreign goods which are brought to this country in the ships of Sewall and his Republican colleagues. Mr. Sewall’s presence on the ticket was meant to say to the privileged classes of the north and east: “Don’t get scared of Bryan’s speech, I will see to it that the present state of things is not disturbed.” In other words, Sewall is the soothing syrup of the campaign for the monopolists, and he is relied upon to keep the northern and eastern Democrats from wailing too much under the infliction of Bryan’s Pop ulistic proclivities. program Announced. Sir. Bryan Will Make a Thorough Caul of tho State of -N'evr York. Upper Red Kook, N. Y., Aug. 19.— William Jennings Bryan has determined to make a pretty thorough canvass of the state of New York, aud for the first time since the days of Martin Van Buren will make addresses iu nearly every im portant city. He will first go to Albany, the home of David B. Hill. He will visit each big city along the New York Central road.

Address Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ga. To this portion of the Spanish Minis ter’s n te, Mr. Bayard replied that tho government of the United States did not attempt to ekercise any power over the opinion or expressions of people within its domain. “The government does not assume,” he wrote, “to visit with penalty conduct which, if com mitted within foreign jurisdictions, might be punishable therein. To do otherwise would be, iu effect, to attempt to recognize aiid administer within tlio sovereignty of the United States a do mestic law of another sovereign. Pro ceedings under the neutrality laws of the United States are set in motion by due information made under oath by some person cognizant of the facts al leged. It is upon this position of Mr. Bayard that tliesrate department and the United States government has been acting. It has been ready to act so soon as it has information of unlawful acts. Mr. Bay ard, in his note, added: “The executive can no more punish or repress offenses of this nature (expe ditions against another government) without the judicial ascertainment of the fact that an unlawful act has been committed than it could by administra tive mandate award death on charge of murder. Neither iu one case uor the other could the representation of parties claiming to be aggrieved override the indispensable requisite of a judicial pro c<-cuing.” Beyond Government Control. Mr. Bayard says considerable more ou this point, emphasizing his position. He does not ask Spain to be the plaintiff, but says that tho United States will be the plaintiff in all cases where a breach of the law is charged that will bring the case within the statute. “The law being so in control of the case, it must follow it to the end. The executive has no authority over the ju diciary. The expressions of sympathy cannot bo controlled, however mis placed.” Mr. Bayard concludes by saying: “Permit me to assure you tiiat if any attempt shall be made on your part or by your agents to cause the laws ap plicable to the case and the international obligations of the United States to be respected to their fullest extent, and these attempts shall fall, and the inci dent be brought to the attention of this department, it will promptly lend its aid to vindicate the law and enforce its remedies.” Mr. Bayard thus placed the responsi bility of locating filibusters aud hostile demonstrations against Spain upon the Spanish government. The entire note is printed out as de fining the position of the Uuited States in the present case, and arguing fully the assumption of the counsel of the Spanish legation in the pamphlet just published.

Fox, Charles Chitlin Allen, Francis Rawle and James C. Carter. President Storey called the associa tion to order and delivered his address. He reviewed the most noteworthy changes in statute law ou poiuts of gen eral interest made in the several states and congress during the preceding year. While the year had been marked by dis content among tho people, the laws only show peace. Discontent did not effect legislation. There was a noticeable growth of a disposition to assert the general interest of the community at the expense of the individual freedom. He cited such legislation as the collate ral inheritance tax, the graduated in come tax, the graduated tax on the es tates cf deceased persons and the char acter and number of the uses for which money is raised by taxation. Most of the address is devoted to railway reor ganization, reviewing a statute of Ken tucky which enables courts to protect investors by making every railway re organization on the subject of judicial investigation. Mr. Storey said: Frpsidenfc Storey’s Spcec’.i. The failure of a railway company finds the managers prepared for the emergency which they have foreseen, while it finds the creditors scattered, ignor ant, fright ened and unready to act. We have seen managers, while stoutly denying up to the last moment that, any such step was contemplated, secretly prepare a bill, and without notice to those interested, file it in court. These proceedings have been collusive. The managers of these insolv ent companies have controlled both sides of the litigation. Dills filed state that the company cannot meet its obligations and that thus the system will be disintegrated and that the solvent company suffer. Upon this allegation the company asks the court, in the interest of the debtor, to de prive the creditors of their rights. After an extensive contest the self con stituted reorganization committee appears •and bondholders are offered their choice between a contest conducted at great dis advantage and expense and the acceptance of such terms as may be. While in theory they could -not accept, iu fact they do not dare to refuse. The expense of the reor ganization has been in many cases enor mous. aud in fixing it there is no one to audit the accounts, no one to represent the creditors who suffer while the trustees profit. Whenever an agreement is reached the obstruction ceases. The foreclosure moves swiftly and tho officers of the court no longer resist the claims of suitors at the bar. The receivership has accom plished this purpose. Caiiio of tile Discontent. Albert yacht club off South Sea.

WRIGHT IN ATLANTA. For The Popuilst-Prohibilion Candidate Governor of Georgia Speaks. Atlanta, Aug. 19. — Seaborn A. Wright, fusion candidate for governor of this state, addressed an audience of about 4,000 people in tho Moody taber nacle here. Mr. Wright spoke with his usual force, droll some times, dramatic often aud always entertaining. He won loud applause after he got well into liis speech, though at first the audience seemed to be waiting for him to line out liis course. He said that lio was a Democrat of the original kiud, aud next declared that ha was independent in politics. Mr. Wright dwelt at length on the Democratic campaign of 1894, and de cried partisanship in politics. “The man who is a partisan is a little man,” he declared. He quoted Washington, Toombs, .Stephens aud Hill against pai’- i Fan ship in politics. William Jennings Bryan, he said, had announced that ho would not support the nomiuee of the Chicago convention if the nominee should he a gold man, aud Grover Cleve land refuses uow to follow the majority of his party. He denounced the present state ad ministration and closed by saying that nothing could have induced him to ac cept the nomination for governor except the insertion iu the Populist platform of the anti-barroom plank Savannah, Aug. 19. — Despite the stormy weather, about 1,000 people gathered in the Odd Fellows’ hail here to hear Governor W. Y. Atkinson dis cuss state and national issue i. He was inti-oduced to his audience by President Mauncy of the Bay an and Sewall club, aud three cheers were given when he arose to speak. Governor Atkinson devoted a lax-ge part of his time to the financial issue. His argument to show that competition iu securing silver must i-aise the com mercial value to the coinage value was not short of convincing. His statement that all the silver in the world divided by 16 would give the weight of the gold, and that therefore God Almighty must have had something to do with the ra tio, caught his hearers, aud they cheered him lustily. Governor Atkinson advocated a plan for the employment of convicts by the » te, or such supervision by the state, will give them immunity from cruel and inhuman treatment. He also ad vocated state control of countv cliaiu- gaugs, from many of which lie said ho had had reports of innumerable liori’ors. The state, in its sovereignty, he said, should exercise its control over these convicts and see that they wore treated humanely. WRIGHT IN ATLANTA.

Obituary notices one cent a word. Many see the savings of a lifetime swept away by mismanagement and the same managers continue hi charge- To tho reckless use of power by the managers of corporations and by those who profit in their downfall, we must attribute much of the discontent, the hatred of capital and capitalists, of corporations and their offi cers which underlies the movement that excites our alarm. Professor Blewett Lee of the North western uuiversity, in his paper on “Teaching Practice Iu Law Schools,” said:. Half the cases decided in 3S93 were upon points of procedure, showing that a knowl edge of procedure is worth as much as 11 the rest of legal knowledge. Lawyers must get their technical knowledge in the school of experience. Law is a science; practicing law is au art. Law is the only profession in which students can have practical training before they begin work. Most students, clergymen, engineers and others have it. Professor Lee said the most courts have lieen overrated, hut practice could be taught by obtaining printed trial records and giving them out as the basis of class work.

Paris, Ang. 19.—During the artillery practice of the French Mediterranean squadron off Toulou, says a dispatch from that city, Admiral Gervais and his siaff had a narrow escape. Instead of aiming at a target whicJi was being towed 500 yard3 behind the flagship Brennus, a battleship of 11,000 tous dis- p acement, the cruiser Ventour turned her quick fire guns on the flagship for some time. The ?>’ots rained around Admiral Gerva’s and his staff and their escape was a miracle. Glass in the ad miral’s conning tower was riddled and a sailor was injured. There is much mystery as to how the mistake hap pened, as it is not thought possible that they could have mistaken the vessel at 500 yards distauce. The Populist-Prohibition Candidate Governor of Georgia Speaks. Atlanta, Aug. 19. — Seaborn A. Wright, fusion candidate for governor of this state, addressed an audience of about 4,000 people in the Moody taber nacle here. Mr. Wright spoke with liis us al force, droll some times, dramatic often and always entertainiug. He won loud applause after he got well into his speech, though at first the audience seemed to be waiting for him to line out his course. He said that lie was a Democrat of the original kind, and next declared that ho was independent iu politics. Mr. Wiight dwelt at length on the Democratic campaign of 1894, aud de cried partisanship in politics. “The man who is a partisan is a little man,” he declared. He quoted Washington, Toombs, Stephens and Hill against par tisanship in politics. William Jennings Bryan, lie said, had announced that lie would not support the nominee of the Chicago convention if the nominee should be a gold man, and Grover C.eve- laud refuses how to follow the majority of his party. He denounced the present state ad ministration and closed by saying that nothing could have induced him to ac cept the nomination for governor except the insertion in the Populist platform of the anti-barroom plank PLANNED TO BREAK JAIL. A Chance to Make Money. I have berries, grapes aud peaches a year old, fresh as when picked. I use the California Cold process do not heat or seal the fruit, jusl put it up cold, keeps perfectly fresh, and costs almost nothing; can put up a bushel in ten minutes. Last week I sold directions to over 120 families; anyone will pay a dollar for directions, when they see the beautiful samples ot fruit. As there are many people poor like myself, I consider it my’ duty to give my experience to such, and feel cdnfi dent anyone can make one or two hundred dollars round home in a few days. I will mail sampie of fruit and complete directions, to any of your readers, for eighteen two-cent stamps, which is only the actual cost of the samples, postage, etc., to me.

Fulton County Prisoners Conspired to Kill tlie Guards and Escape* Atlanta, Ang. 15.—A bold scheme to break jail has been discovered by the Fulton county prison officials. The con spiracy had been well planned in its every detail. Assistant jailer Eubanks was to be decoyed into the corridor. Tom Delk, the outlaw, uow under sen tence of death, ‘who had made a key to his cell door, would be in hiding in the bathroom. Whey McCullough entered the corridor door, Delk was to spring upon him from behind. The ceil door of Arthur Hayne, who is to die ou the gallows uext Friday, was false locked by a trusty who was one of the conspirators, and when the time for action came, the murderer of Spinks was to rush out aud aid Delk. The night guard at the door would have been sileuced with a knife thrust and the keys would then have been in the possession of the prisoners. Every door would then have been opened, and before au alarm could have been given the entire number would have been upon the streets aud probably beyond recapture. When tho plot was discovered a search was instituted aud two knives, a saw, four pieces of steel and a heavy iron bar were fonnd in Hanye’s cell. The ringleaders, Delk aud Hanye, have been put in irons. Held Up by Two S’egro Tramps. Waycross, Ga., Aug. 15.—A crowd of section hands were held up and robbed at their houses between Waycross and Blackshear by two armed negro tramps. The section men had just finished cook ing provisions when the desperadoes ar rived and asked for a drink of water, which was given them. The tramps then demanded food. The section men said they had no food* to spare. The tramps drew their pistols on the section men, who fled as a fusillade of bullets was sent after them. When the tramps had frightened the men off-they took all the provisions they found in the houses and every other article of value and left the place. Spoons Free to All. I read in the Christian Standard that Miss A. M. Fritz, Station A, St Lonis, Mo., would give an ele gant plated hook spoon to anyone sending her ten 2-cent stamps. I sent for one and found it so useful that I showed it to my friends, and made $13 in two hours, taking or ders for the spoon. The hook spoon is a household necessity. It cannot slip into the dish or cooking vessel, being held in place by a hook, on the back. The spoon is something housekeepers have needed ever since spoons were first, invented. Any one can-get a sample spoon by sending ten 2-cent stamps to Miss Fritz. This is a splendid way to make money around home.
