VIEWS OF SENATOR JONES National Chairman Expresses Him- aclf as to the Anti-Trust Plank He Also Explains the Scope of a Na tional Platform. Washington, March 27.—Democratic leaders are displeased with the criti cisms of the anti-trust plauk in the Democratic platform adopted recently at Liucolu, Neb. They say that the complaints that it is indefinite are as sumed. Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the national committee, in speaking of the assertion that the plank proposed no remedy for the so-called trust evil, said: ‘'That complaint is nonsense. The people who make it seem to think that it is the duty of conventions to frame bills. A platform is not supposed to contain statutes or to draft legislation and if it ever does so it goes beyond its functions. A platform approves or con demns policies. Tne anti trust plank in this platform pats the party whioh adopted it on record as opposed to trusts, and in favor of action against them. That is 8ufficie' , t. The legisla tion to carry out its demands is a mat ter not for the platform makers, bat for congress ” Mr. Jones was asked whether he thought the Nebraska plank commend ing the municipal ownership could prop erly be inserted in a national platform in view of the fact that it isa matter affect ing only local communities. “A national platform,” said the sen ator, •‘can express approval of or sym pathy with anything. As to that plank I think Democrats generally look with approval on the attempts made to bring ttie United States np to the European standard in this respect. While I was in Enrope last summer I found our backwardness in adopting municipal ownership was a matter for amusement and wonder. They consider ns behind the times Municipal ownership works well there and it ought to work equally well here. It would be quite within the proper function of a national plat form to express sympathy with such a movement and thereby enconrage it" SOUTHERN WOMAN’S BAZAR Exposition Will ilo Held In New York April G.

COLONEL PLUMER IS IN SORESTRAITS His Force Is Isolated and on Half Rations. RECRUITS FOR BOER ARM? Large Numbers of French, Dntoh and Belgian Volunteers Are Joining the Transvaal Forces—Inactivity of the British Explained. Bloemfontein, March 27.—The con ditions existing in the occupied terri tory render imperative the somewhat prolonged halt at Bloemfontein. It is necessory that the effect of the procla mation should have time to make itself felt. It is declared that damage or an noyance to the line of communication' may be apprehended until the territory behind the advancing forces is rendered absolutely secure. The accuracy of this view is proved by the fact of the ene my’s breaking up into isolated groups, inch as that which attacked the Girards’ officers Friday. The adjustment of financial and municipal matters in the Free State is now chiefly occupying the attention of the governor and his legal and financial advisors. The military regime is being conducted with great smoothness, but recent investigations show (bat caution mast bj exercised in dealing with persons apparently loyal The summary is probably an accurate explanation of the frequent appearance and disappearance of Boers and insur gents upon which the reports are so conflicting and which so puzzle the British military critics. General Me thuen appears to be awaiting transporta tion and with Colonel Plnmer’s forces on half rations there no// seems little likelihood of the immediate relief of Mafeking. though neither from this quarter nor from Lord Roberts or Gen eral Bnllei is there any direct news. A Lorenzo Marquez special says the Traunsvaal authorities are evidently recrui iug actively and large numbers of French, Dutch and Belgian volun teers are constantly passing through that place to join the Boer forces. I MINES ARE IN NO DANGER. Boers Have No intention of Destroy- ing the Frcp-riy. London. March 27.—A distinguished Boer, said to be a relative of President Krnger and the son of a well known Boer general, has declared there was not the slightest danger of the Boers destroying the South African mines ‘‘That report,” he said, “must have been invented by our enemies. It would mean to ns meiely destroying our own property.” Referring to Montagu White’s state- meat on this subject in Washington, he said: ‘‘They are totally unauthorized. He had absolutely no right to sav anything of the kind and what he has said has given a false, harmful impression.” SCOTT TAKES HIS OWN LIFE. After Slurderous Auault Upon His Wife He Kills Himself. Owosso, Mich., March 27.—Charles Scott, a boilermaker, employed in the Ann Arbor railroad carsheps, broke into the home of his wife, from whom bo had been separated, last night, and furiously assaulted Mrs. Scott and her mother with a heavy chisel.

ELKS GREATLY AGITATED. Death of a Mt-mb-r Arouses tits Chat tanooga Lodgi*. Chattanooga, March 27.—The lodge of Elks in this city is very much agi tated over the death of a member named Neikirk, who died Saturday morning of pneumonia. Neikirk bad employed a local physician, who pre scribed the usual remedies aud left the medicine to be administered by two members of the lodge who were waiting on him. The physician was the next morning discharged by telephone by parties—which was found to be unau thorized—claiming to be acting for the Elks. The doctor went to the sick man’s room and found that the medi cine he had left for the patient had not been administered as directed. The man grew rapidly worse, and died. It is stated that an investigation will be ordered by the lodgj, several ugly rumors prevailing to the effect that the two attendants were drinking and were not attending to their duties the night the medicine should have been admin istered. MUST ENLARGE THE ASYLUM North Carolina Institutions For the Insane Are Badly Crowded.

EVANGELIST LEITCH IS HIGHLY PRAISED. A Zealous Christian Who Fears No Man. DOING A GRAND WORK. “•). I.. 8.” C'oiii|iUiiu.-iitK tin- Cliri»Uan Workers of (iafTaey—Air. F. <i. Goforth's Sister In :* Dylrg Condition--Happening* of Lower Cherokee-. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Etta Jane, March 24.—We had the pleasure one night this week of at tending Limestone Street Methodist church in Gaffney where Rev. Tom Leitch, the distinguished evangelist, is conducting a meeting. It has been twelve years since we met him in Gaffney for the first time. Father Time has dealt gently with him. Though his locks have assumed a sil very hue, yet his physique has lost none of its robust, manly features; his Christian zeal none of its devo tional fire; his faith none of its te nacity, nor his tongue any of its blis tering powers. Although the house was crowded, yet he held the strict attention of every one present—the highest evidence of his power to teach men and women their duty and how to perform it. Mr. Marshall, who accompanied him on the former occasion, was present and conducted the song ser vice. He was as&isted by some of the best musical talent in the town and county, all of which went to promote interest in the meeting and strengthen the arms of the evangelist to deal heavy blows in defense of the Redeemer’s kingdom. As the local reporter will giye our Ledger readers all items of general interest we leave to him the per formance of that duty. We only wish to say to those who have come to the assistance of that indefatigable Christian worker, Rev. 8. T. Creech, and within such an incredibly short time have erected such a magnificent house of worship as the Limestone Street Methodist church, that they have virtually cast their bread upon the waters to be gathered up after many days. When finished and furnished it will be an ornament to the town as well as a tower of strength to its founders. As we looked upon the dazzling splendor of this magnificent second edifice lighted up with electric lights and the stream of humanity pouring into it, our mind reverted to the church triumphant—a city of refuge not made with hands. No wonder the Psalmist in his ecstasies of de light could exclaim : “How amiable are thy Tabernacles, 0 Lord of hosts!” ‘‘Lord. I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honor dwelleth.’* ‘‘Wo shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even thy holy temple.” “We’ll crowO thy (rates with thankful songs, High as the heavens onr voices raise. And earth with tier ten thousand tongues Shall till thy courts with sounding praise.” Mrs. Jane Bishop still lingers on her bed of suffering, which she bears with great resignation. Miss Bettie Blair closed her school yesterday. Some of our neighbors are having cholera among their chickens. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Mitchell, of Gould, with Master Wood, came over to see Mrs. Bishop last Thurs day. Yesterday Mr. F. G. Goforth, was summoned to the bedside of his sis ter who is in a dying condition at her home in North Carolina. He has just buried bis mother. He and his family have our heartfelt sympathies. Those so-called Christian people who wantonly prostitute the Sabbath day to worldliness ought to shudder at what Voltaire himself said about it: ‘‘There is no hope of destroying the Christian religion so long as the Christian Sabbath is acknowledged and kept by men as a sacred day.” And right here a problem presents it self, ‘‘How is religion to be main tained in communities where the Sabbath is not observed? Money spent for that which does not preserve health, give strength, prolong iife or, in any way, perforin labor is wasted. If money is spent for that which is an injury to the public health, short ens life, creates weakness, promotes disorder and crime and destroys the right and power to labor by lessening the demands for the products of honest labor, then it is worse than wasted. Education makes sentiment. Sen timent makes law and demands its enforcement. The enforcement of law protects the weak, encourages sobriety and promotes moral and economic prosperity. The best solu tion, and the only solution of the liquor question is, ‘‘No liquor; li cense protects whiskey; prohibition protect* men.” if the sale of whis key is an offense against God’s law, why is it not a crime against hu manity? It is frequently said that whiskey is all right in its place. Ham Jones says ‘‘it’s place is In hell.” We don’t know so well about that, but we are sure it is not in the stomach of a young man who Intends to marry. If 11 is. tb f nan be marries will re gret it an )ol c . ..a she lives. A Progress correspondent (X X.
