This is about the quickest way she can end the war. It looks like the hand of is with Japan in this war Russia has inflicted greater loss up- on her own navy than has been done by the Japanese. Marion Butler has that he is out of politics. Having bled his state all he could in office he found new employment in raking up and prosecuting frauds against her. The republicans of this State are hoping to make an issue against the Watts law. As they have stood for almost everything else, it will not create much surprise if they take a stand for also.

Charlotte is showing some of the big folks around Ex-Vice- President Adlai E. Stevenson and Lieut. Richmond Pearson Hobson are both guests of the city. Certain kinds of presidential tours not a legitimate charge upon the national treasury Atlanta But the bill for any kind of a junket goes into the treasury for the people to pay, just the same. President Roosevelt declares that Elihu Root is the greatest man in the United States, present company of course excepted. Whereupon Secretary Shaw, John Hay, and Senator Lodge have all written to him and asked him if he said so. The in the West has commenced early this season to get in its work of devastation. Kan- and Indian Territory have both suffered disastrously in the last few- days, there being large loss of both life and property. The good work of Congressman John H Small is heard of again. The house has passed his bill authorizing the erection of a light house and fog signal on off Cape If the light house stands five years and prows a success the contractor is to be paid No place on the coast needs a light house more than Cape Hatteras, but all efforts here- to build one there have proven failures. The Reflector several times referred to the need of a building and lean association in Greenville, expressing the belief that one good help to the town arising therefrom would be enabling wage-earners to become home-owners, in which capacity they would be worth much more to the town as citizens than if they continued as mere tenants. An idea of what such associations have done for Charlotte is thus told by the Charlotte influence has done more to build up Charlotte than her three building and loan associations. The local and home institutions of other cities and towns have also done wonderful good work in furn- the means by which working people, merchants, preachers, and others may save something in reg installments or buy a house and pay for it in regular install- and not pay any profit to anybody on the transaction. Phil- which is the home of the building and loan association in this country was formerly the City of Brotherly Love only. It is still so perhaps, but it is now much more accurately the city of workmen's homes. The same is to a large extent now true of Charlotte and each case and other similar cases the local home building associations have been almost wholly the means by which this ha been brought ITEMS. Quite a number of the North Carolina papers are getting tired of acting as horse for and have given notice that all communications will be charged for at so much per line.

United States Judge was recently taken sick and apparently on his death bed. waiting for the end to Southerner. Bourke says that the country wants a northern man for president and a southern man for vice-president. This is the tune moment for those who know Governor A cock, his friends and admirers, to fall in line with this sentiment and advance the claims of our great educational governor for the second place on the ticket. Cir- point to the fact that Judge Parker, or a man as will be asked to lead the Democratic hosts.

A very valuable horse belonging- to Deputy Marshall A. C. Bryan, of Wilkes county, died last Thurs- day. The horse had been trained by him to catch who- tried to run away when wanted, the animal showed unusual and when given the rein would always, so the story goes help his rider catch the law-break His training had a long and careful one, and after many attempts Deputy Marshal Bryan succeeded in teaching the horse to chase anybody that was pointed out to him. The horse generally would get his man by the back of the collar and hold him until the arrival of some one whom he know would take his charge away from him. The animal had a jet black coat with a white star in the middle of its forehead and from that face bore the name of Star Pointer.
