TWO CHILDREN DROWNED Torrential Rains Overflow Streams and Flood Cities in the Caroli nes—No Estimate Can be Made ol Damage. Raleigh, N. C., Aug, 1.—Two chil dren drowned, traffic tied up on at ieajr. four lines of railroad and most ol the navigable rivers, crops badly dl^naged and in large areas of low lafcds entirely destroyed, is a partial reoord of the effects In eastern North Carolina of the We&t Indian storm that raged on the Atlantic coast Thursday and moved Inland yesterday accompanied by a rainfall that was a record breaker, in some localities amounting to 9.95 Inches, according to specials last night to the News and Observer from numer ous points in that section. At Kingston nine inches of rain in four days is reported and many of the streets are Impassable to pedes trians. The Norfolk and Southern bridge over southwestern creeks be tween Kingston and Caswell is sub merged and traffic has been blocked all day. Traffic is tied up also on the Ktagston-Snowhill railroad, the track being washed away for some dis taace. No trains from Wilmington or

Goldsboro have been able to reach Newbern today because of washouts on the Atlantic Coast Line, a case of ten miles in one place being reported unsafe. River traffic there is stopped. Trains on the Washington and Van demere railway are stalled by wash outs and river traffic and fishing at a standstill. The bridge of the Norfolk and Southern railroad between here and Beaufort, recently built at a eost of 11,000,000, is reported unsafe and no trains are crossing". At Roper, two children are reported drowned in the flood. The chief damage in inland sec tions has been caused by the torren tial rains. Reporte from Wilmington, I Morehead City and Beaufort is that the storm has passed, and but little real damage has been done. The rain continues at Nomberg and Kingston. No estimate of the damage done can be obtained as yet. CAMPAIGN EXPENSES. Congressman Rcall Spends 81178.20 and Col. Kterett tjte.lOO. Col. W. G.

Prof. Fernando Sanford of San ford University is one of the men ap pointed by the president to investi gate the immigration conditions. He has arrived here after months of work along the Mexican border, and it is said the report, signed by San ford and other investigators and for warded to Washington makes inter esting disclosures as to the number of coolies smuggled over the line.

Austin, Texas, August 1.—Claude Pollard, assistant attorney general, j will probably accompany Chairman MayBeld of the railroad commission and Senator Culberson to Washing ton to protest against the Increase In freight rates. Should Judge Pollard make the trip he will probably make the oral argument to the Interstate commerce commission in behalf of Chairman Mayfield. William* Taken to Temple. The constable of Temple arrived in the city Saturday morning to take charge of Jack Williams, arrested here Thursday on a charge of horse theft, and conveyed him to the Bell county jail at Belton. The officer was accompanied by the owner of the mule and buggy stolen from Tempi· July 18. The animal and vehicle were Bhipped to Temple over the Ka ty.

A night service between h'ort Worth and Galveston is expect I ed to be inaugurated on that date, j These trains will be operated over the Hock Island to Dallas and over I the Katy to Waxahachie. It is under stood that the northbound train will ι arrive here about Γ the inadequacy of both em ployes and appropriations, and it is confidently believed that the next legislature will be ready to further the good work which the department has already accomplished during its brief existence. In all likelihood Governor Camp bell will recommend to the lawmak ers the necessity for increased ap propriations for this department and the recommendation will be backed up by the farmers of the state who are deriving much benefit from the bulletin and statistical information which it is diffusing in Texas. BITE Of I HOG PROVED FATIL Aaron Johnson Vic'im ol a Strange Attack Near Georgeiown Georgetown, Texas, August 1.— Aaron Johnson, aged 56 years, a well known Swedish citizen of this con i>, iitlng six miles from George town. died by a horrible accident Thursday.

I'nder the old federal leginie the penalty for steal ing horses was from five to fifteen years In the penitentiary. The of ficers, however, do not believe this is the reason. They claim that there has recently been a big immigration of worthless negroes from the states and that they will not work and have been stealing horses rather than to earn an £oneet living. The greatest safeguard this state has ever had from h'oree ana cattle thieves was the Antj-Horse Thief as sociation, ~nranl?..tlon composed, (altnost exclusive. 'iriners with a stote and county organization, their βο!.>ί8*ίί08ί'· tu bring to speedy justice any thief. Their work has been very effective, but now it seems that even this organization has be come powerless to stop the stealing that is going on. The high prices of horses is probably an incentive to the thieves.

The Katy train gets in every morning at 1J o'clock, bring-1 Ing the papers with fresh returns j from the election. After the papers j are read the town settles down to j Its accustomed stillness. The least disturbed man In Cumby J when the papers get in, telling of a j Tew hundred more votes for Gover-1 nor Campbell, is R. R. Williams, who! *as Governor Campbell's opponent, says the Fort Worth Telegram. The j result of the election hasn't disturb- j ed to win. He has made no post-elec :ion statements telling what conspir-i icies prevented his defeat. Governor i 'ampbell, commenting on his victory, j makes his customary reference to j 'the agencies of corrupt and sinister nterestn," tout Williams is eilent. It j s not a pouting silence, but a digni-1 led one. There Is a good deal of dig i it y about "Democratic Bob." Williams is grateful to the friends *ho helped him. As he finds time he s writing courteous little notée tell ng them so, but he is making no nore fuss over his defeat than he lid over his announcement. Perhaps the only net result of his ampalgn is that a good many more [ΐοορίρ In Texas than ever before now J Know him as Hopkins county has Known him for over thirty years, a j plain, kindly, honest man. He suffered a good deal from mis guided friends or rather supporters. His real friends made no attempt to represent him as he wasn't. There was a good deal of fuss about a photo which pictured him with a high wool hat and untrimmed beard. The supporters preferred a picture show ing a carefully trimmed beard, no hat, and a scholarly pair of glasses. But as a matter of fact the hat pic ture showed him as he really looked luring the last days of the campaign. It was quite a good enough picture for "Democratic Bob," who is not an adept at posing before the cam era. In fact he is not adept at posing in any way. He takes life as he finds It and lets the world take him as it finds him. He is 69 years old and is not likely to again be an aspirant for high political honors. It is quiet over at Cumby now, but the town owes at least a little debt of gratitude to "Democratic Bob" Williams, who put it oil the map. FAMILY P0I80NKI). N'ine People Suddenly Taken Vio lently III After Meal. Temple, Texas, Aug. 1.—Informa- ι tlon reached here yesterday of a case of wholesale ptomaine poisoning which occurred Thursday in the fam ily of Rome Safley, a farmer living near Cedar creek, ten miles north of this city. The family of nine had just finished the noonday meal when all were taken suddenly and violently III. presumably from something that had just been partaken of during the meal. AU were in a very serious condi tion fer some hours, Mrs. Safley's life being saved only by resort to the j most heroic efforts, her case being so violent as to render her unconscious for fifteen hours. All have so far re covered, however, as to be pronounc ed out of danger. SCHOOL BOY SPANKED. Tcaclu-r Is Acquitted of Charge of Assault. Wynnewood, Okla., Aug. 1.—Miss Bessie Roberts, a teacher in the pub lic schools here, was acquitted in the justice court on the charge of as sault, the offense being the whipping of Bennie Snowden, a young boy. Miss Roberts stated that when she started to punish the boy he drew a knife. „Sbe grabbed him and the whipping followed. The boy showed bruises which he said were made "w^hen his teacher whipped him. The incident took place at the close of! Sbhool in May. Superintendent •French of the same school wab tried for the same offense on the sarce boy at the time, but the jury disagreed. Twenty-Three Burled. Kernie, B. C., Aug. 1.—Twenty three men were buried yesterday by a cave-in in No. 2 mine in the colliery owned by the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company. The work of rescue was made difficult by gas, but rescuing parties had taken out twenty men alive at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and the other three will probably be res-j cued I Guelplt Home Week.

Insects {nKle themselves in flight ni most entirely und ou the ground partly j by means of their faceted eyes. The antennae and the buccal sensory or gans cannot hell) aerial steering. Insects pcrccive the motion of ob jects particularly well—I. e.. the dé placements of visual Images relatively to the compound eye. They therefore iee better when on the wing than at rest, for during flight the linage of Im- mobile objects Is displaced relatively j to the eye. Insects distinguish the contours and I forms of objects only more or less in- I distinctly. Insects appreciate the direction and I distance of objects very clearly during j flight by the aid of their compound eyes. They can also appreciate, even when nt rest, the distance of immobile objects. Certain Insects (bee·, bumblebees) distinguish color clearly and recognlie colors Iietter than forms. Among others (wasps) the |>erceptlon of color appears, on the contrary, to be very rudimentary.—"Senses of Insects." The Jap· a· Joker·. In the days of the second empire I Baron Gros was sent to Japan to de j mand the opening of certain ports to i French commerce. Among the rest he named to the Japanese ministers a cer tain city. The Japanese functionaries smiled so broadly when be preferred the request that the French ambassa dor asked them to tell htm what gave them ao much amusement, but Instead of answering the Japanese ministers Mid: "We wlû.open the port In miesttcn. my lord, If "Trance fû her" turn will ί open η certain port to us." "What port is that?" asked the Frenchman. "The port of Liverpool." "But, your excellencSee," laughing, "Liverpool is not a French port, but i an English one." "Yes," answered the Japanese, "and the port you named Is not In Japan, j but In Korea." The Frencl^ ambassador was com pelted to admit that the Joke was j against lilm.—London Answers. The Submarine Crew. Not until you have gone down In a j submarine and seen the crew at work can you say you have seen the limit to j which it is possible to drill human creatures. No crack company of a regi- ment, no fire company In any of our I big cities, not even the engine force on a man-of-war. is under such discipline as the crew of a submarine. The navy department and the men themselves realize that months are required before even the most capable group of ten can be made to work as a unit, perfect as clockwork. There Is 110 time to "break In" crews when once war is de I ciareti, and for this reason the subma rine service Is continually and luces j santly in war practice.

Dallas, Texas, August 1.—With a twenty-ton locomotive as a propeller, Arthur Resley, 649 Main street, plowed through a bed of mortar at Akard and Marilla streets. When switch engine No. 105, on the Marilla street switch of the Houston and Texas Central left the track. Switch man Resley was on the running board in front. He lost his footing as the locomotive bounced over the brick section of Akard, but didn't fall until the mortar bed was reached on the east side of the street. One of his legs was injured, but he was able to flounder from the mortar, and will be on the job again In a few days. Engineer F. D. Prultt, 43 5 Hic kory street, had his back badly wrenched. The accident was caused by sand and gravel for the paving of Akard street being damped too close to the tracks on Marilla street. This slid down and covered the tracks to a depth of two inches, causing the en gine to leave the rails. BUMPER COTTON CROP. Government Report Taken As An Indication of a Big Yield.
