A Fri?lay despatch from Washing
says Hint the oreat coal confer
dice between the President and
represent tut ives of the operntoi'H
niul the miners, came to and end
nt the temporary White House,
facing Lnfay. tte Square, at 4:5o
o'clock this afternoon, with a failure
to roach an aipcement. Apparently
the rock upon which the
conference split was recognition of
tin' miner's union. The President
had uracil tho contending parties
to cease strife in the interests of
the public welfare; the minors,
through the president of their
union, had expressed a willingness
to submit ditTer uices to the arbitration
of a tribunal to !? named
by the President and to enter into
an agreement to abide by the terms
fixed by the at hit ration for a period
of from one to five years, and the
employers, through tho presidents
of the railroad and coal companies,
and a leading independent mine
operator, had squarely refused arbitration,
had denounced the
miners' labor organization as a lawless
and anarchistic body, with
which they could and would have
no dealings; had demanded 1?\ d
end troops to ensure complete pro?
lection to workers ami their families
in tlioininiiiLT region ami court
proceedings against tlio miners'
union, and had offered. if the men
returned to work, to submit jjriev
nnces at individual collieries to tlie
decision of the judges of the Court
of Common I Mens fur the district,
of Pennsylvania, in which the eol
liery was located. There the matter(dosed.
Tonight both the miners
and the operators are still in the
city, hut. tomorrow they return to
their several local-ities, eaelfsaying
at a late, Juuir that the stru^le will
continue..
'The situalion in the coal strike
which is bearing so heavily on all
sections of the country is reviewed
as follows:
The people are botrinninj* to
speak out in heluilf of their rights
in tlie anthracite c.oal fields. 'That
they have some rights there is 110
doubt. There is no reason why
they should suffer from lack of
t V i ?
iiu'i necause tin1 coml operators and
the coal miners fail to ? ??nu? to an
agreement, with each other sh to
wanes..', People do not undertake
to say that the strikers shall he
settled with on their own terms.
They do not say that the eon I operators
are in the wronger that the
strikers are in tho wrong. They
simply say that it. is the duty of
the coal operators to give them
coal. And thus far they have
raised no question about the price
though they would if they believed
the price unreasonable. Parties
in l?ost>oii have filed a bill in the
supreme court of Massachusetts
asking that a receiver be appoint?
d f? r the coal roads a receiver
that will opperate the mines. The
people of Meriden, (sain., at a
mass meeting, have pissed resolutions
asking the governor of Pennsylvania
to inaugurate proceedings
looking to placing the coal roads
in the hands of a receiver, so that
the coal mines will he operated

Evidently a crisis is approaching
in the hattlo between the coal opera
torn ami the strikers. The public
in taking a hand in it and soon
1 here will have to he an adjustment
?d the differences. The public
does not intend to be the victim
of the stubbornness of the
opposing parties much longer, ir
tliey can help it. There must be
an agreement, or one party or tinother
must give under and that
Soon.
With the public demanding coal
the strikers seem to have the best
of the battle. If thoy can hold on
a few weeks longer?until freezing
weather sets in?the coal operators
will have to yield to prevent
riots in the cities in which autlirncito
coal is the chief fuel. The
mine owners have been pretendimr
"Ilint they could operate the mines
if given protection, hut it is evident
that they cannot, as a suftirient
number of miners cannot be
had. Tiic governor of Pennsylvania
hap been and is still giving
them all of the protection he can,
but they have made hut little progress
in getting the coal out of the
mines. It looks as if they would
have to make coqeegsious,

Wlcox Gets New Trial.
Times readers will bo interested
and pleased to know tliat .lames
Wilcox, convicted of tho murder
i of Miss Nellie Cropsey at Kli/.a- |
, both City, N. 0., last November, is
1 to lio jjiveii another chance to dis
prove his iruilt. This decision '
was handed down by the supreme
court of North Carolina.
In LrrantiiiL! a new trial the su
; preme court says the evidence was
j entirely circumstantial. The jury
docs not seem to have given the
j necessary cautious and vigilant
J attention to the evidence, or the,
presentation of the pi isouer's case i
by counsel. It says that tin- con i
duct of the spectators in and
about the court was sutlicieut to'
prejudice the jury. "No such
demoustrations," reads the opin-,
ion, "were ever wittnessed in our j
State before.
Anion*; these demonstrations:
i were people leaving the court ;
room in a body and the rinuing of
| a tire alarm. The court docs not
| timl the jury was influenced by (
these thinirs, but viewing all of!
IIiih disorderly conduct, it says the |
i trial was not eondneted in the
proper form of law, and gi\cs a J
now trial to Wilcox, which it Nays
must he attended by no such dominant
rations of lawlessness and in
tiinidation as were present on the
former occasion. The next term of
the court, begins in Pasquotank
County on November 17. and the ;
case will be heard again at tliut
time
Curious Ties of Divorce.
There are 110,000 more divorced
women than there are divorced
men in the United St.des, the olliI
rial Inures being 8-1,000 divorced
i men and 11 t.000 divorced women.
The desparity is accounted for by
I the fact that men procuring divorces
or from whom divorces have
I been procured more often remarry
I than the women under like conditions.
The number of divorced men is
Inri'CMt ill I milium %ul?i?.l? lum
j 5,7000. There arc more than 4,000
each in Ofilif<>rnin. Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana, New York and Pennsylvania.
Texas lias 0,300 and
Massachusetts 2,500.
South Carolina, the only State
; which has no law authorizing or
i permitting divorces, has 275 di|
vorced men among its residents,
and South Dakota, a State which
has become noted by reason of the
facility wdli which divorce is
granted, has 563.

Believes Democrats Will Win In 1904.
Senator Harris, of Kansas, has
just returned from Europe where
he went in the interest of the St..
Lous lair. Speaking of his trip.
Senator Harris pointed to his
shoes which were American made
and which he purchased in London
nt 20 per cent, less than they
enn be bought for in this country.
The senator states that ho found
numerous instances where similar
conditions prevailed and lie emphatically
denies that the goods
sold abroad by American manufacturer?
are only the surplus
products, lie says that the American
manufacturers are selling;
their goods abroad at n fair and
reasonable profit and that they are
selling them in this country at oxhorbitant
profits. Senator Harris
believes that the prospects of
Democratic success are much bettor
than they were a fe-v months
ago and speaks most confidently of
the prospects for XlH>4.
How to Mako Water Breaks.
A government publication gives |
tlit* fallowing insiiii ti nis to r ud |
ImildeiS as ti? the pioper prepaia- |
ration of "water breaks' on (till i
sides:
! "In order to prevent the wash (
ing out of earlti roads on lulls it ,
Home iines becomes necessary to
construct water breaks; that is.
j broad shallow ditches arranged so j
' as to catch the surface water and
carry it each way into the side (
ditches. Such ditches retard traf
lie to a certain extent, and often
result in overturning vehicles; J
consequently they should never be '
used until all other means have
I failed to cause the water to flow
into the side channels; neither
should they- lie allowed to cross )
the entire road diagonally, but ?
should be constructed in the shape
of the letter V. This arrangement
permits teams following the mid-,
of the road to cross the ditch

Darlington Magistrate Suspended.
The Columbia Record says that,
the governor has suspended Mag- 1
istrate Lamar, of Darlington couti- ,
ty, who is charged with marrying i ,
a white man and a mulatto girl.
The magistrate has been at rested,
and waving a preliminary exunn- j
nation, gave bail for his nppear- 1
unco at the court of general ses-!
sioiiH. The suspension will last
until the court passes upon his (
innocence or guilt. The magistrate
eluims that lie married the ]
couple at night with a very dim
light burning and that the girl (
was of such a light complexion
that he thought she was white.

reside in groat numbers near the

Many farmers of this faith have
turned their stock out on the hillsides,
deserted their farms and
homes and joined th.e camp of
Second Adventists.

lievers are making robes of asoen- '
