"Thps-> constituted the day's exercises.
President Roosevelt and party arrived
at 9:30. Though the crowd at the
station here was a big one and demonstrative
in its welcome to the President,
the police arrangements enabled
the party to leave the train and pass
to carriages waiting without difficulty.
President Hadley. of Yale, and
Mayor John P. Studley, were on hand
to receive the distinguished guest, and
after an exchange of greetings, briefly,
the ride toward the University campus
was begun by way of State and
Chapel streets. The escort included a
representation of the naval and military
forces of the State. Upon arrival
at the campus, the President was conducted
to Battell chapel, and after a
brief rest there, was escorted to his
place in the academic procession.
President Roosevelt and President
Hadley entered the theatre at 10:30.
The President of the United States was
led by the University president to the
seat of honor directly behind the orator's
desk. President Hadley took his

Admiral Sampson, apparently in illhealth.
did not enter the procession.
He made his way to his place through
a side door and leaning on the arm of
Prof. W. W. Farnam, was shown to h;.3
sett.
When the long list had been finished,
President Hadley advanced a step
or two and with great impressiveness
said: "There yet remains one name."
In an instant the great audience was
standing. The President of the United
States also arose and the theatre rang
with cheers. The air was filled with
waving handkerchiefs and programmes.
Remarking that -ale had
chosen for the degree this candidate
before he became President, President
I'ldlsv announced that all Yale men
were now doubly honored by greeting
the man and the President as a son of
Yale. Specially addressing President
Roosevelt. President Hadley spoke as
follows: "Theodore Roosevelt, while
you were yet a private citizen we offered
you most worthily the degree tf
LL. D. Since in His providence, it has
pleased God to give Theodore Roosevelt
another title, we give him on tba.
account a double portion of welcome.
He is a Harvard man by nurture, but
we are proud to think that in his dem
ocratic spirit, his broad national sympathies
and, above all. his clearness
and purity and truth he will be glad
to be an adopted sou of Yale.
Georgia Officers to Re Arrested.
Atlanta. Special.?Gov. Candler has
.acceded to the request of Governor
Avcock. of North Carolina, that two
Georgia officers. Sheriff Lovnigood,
of Fannin county, and his deputy, be
sent to Murphy. N. C., for trial be

Sclma. Ala.. Special.?A mania for
murdering each other oeems to have
broken out among the negroes who
live in the immediate counties surrounding
Seima, and in the last two
weeks there has not teen less than
twenty negroes killed by other blacks.

K9ESTER APPOINTED.
dels the South Carolina Coilectorship
Without Opposition.
The president has appointed Geo. It.
Kooster collector of internal revenue
for the district of South Carolina, to
succeed W. L. Webster, deceased. The
appointment was announced shortly
before the departure of the presidont
for New Haven. With the appointment
the following statement was issued:
"Mr. Koester is a prominent Gold
Democrat, and has been recommended
for the position by a large number of
influential business men and representative
citizens not only of South Carolina.
but of North Carolina and elsewhere."
The appointment of Mr. Koester terminates
a controversy which began
upon Mr. Roosevelt's accession ro the
presidency. It was in connection with
this appointment and that of ex-Governor
Jones to a federal judgeship in
Alabama that the president announced
that his policy in regard to southern
appointments would be to name suitable.
Republicans if they could bo
found, and if not. to appoint Demo- j
crats. Mr. Blalock. who has been
prominent in the Republican party at
j South Carolina, was first understood
to be slated for this position, but tho I
president later decided not to appoint
him.' Subsequently. Senator McLaurin, |
j whom the president consulted about j
! the matter suggested the name of Mr. J
Koester, who is known in the State r>s
an Independent Democrat. The president
sent for Mr. Koester and had a
personal Interview with him last Saijrday
evening.
The Charleston Exposition.
Charleston, Special?The following
announcement was handed the Asso|
riated Press for the purpose of eorree'
ting many misrepresentations which
j have been made by unauthorized pcr|
sons in regard to the condition of the
' work at Charleston. The work is far,
ther advanced at this period than any
previous exposition ever held in this
| country and there is no reason why
the exposition should not be comple;
ted in time for the opening day:
"The board of directors of the South
| Carolina Inter-State and West Indian
exposition beg to announce to the people
of the United States that the expo!
sition will open on Monday, Deo. 2,
1901, with a preliminary religious Ger
vice at the exposition grounds on
Sunday, Dec. 1. The principal oration
Ht the opening ceremonies will be delivered
by Senator Chauncey M. De!
pew of New York. The board of di
rectors feel assured that there will ha I
no delay in the opening of the exposition."
Judge Benet to Retire.
The announcement that Judge Win.
i Christie Benet would retire from the
jCinmt bench lias caused no little surj
prise. Judge vtrnet is one of the
i most aggressive members of the CirI
cuit Court and a mar of superior iiitellectual
powers. His plans are not
j known, but it is whispered that he
j may become a c: ndidate for the
United States Senate. The campaign
would be an intellectual treat with
such speakers as Benet, Hemphill and
George Johnstone. The latter is regarded
as a master of the English
language and Judge Benet is a man
j of great versatility.
ricLaurin for the Cabinet.
Columbia. Special.?It is believed
here by many people that Senator McLaurin
will get a place in the cabinet
of President Roosevelt and that he
has simply taken care of his friend
Koester before he leaves the political
affairs of this State. Others think that
this is but an indication that MoLaurin
will endeavor to capture all
the Federal patronage in this State.
Big Appropriations.
Washington, Special.?In the esti- j
mates for the coming year, the chief
of the Bureau of Ordnance reeom- J
mends to the Secretary of the Navy i
that $117,500 be appropriated for the
purchase of lanu and general improvements
at the naval magazines at St.
Julian Creek: $2,000 for water system
etc., at Fort Uorfolk: $2,000 for
dredging and repairs at St. Helena, all

Odom near the heart, killing him al- |
most instantly. King attempted to escape,
but by-standers seized him. \

It is a crop that can be grown with
less labor than any other profitable
crop and one which is as certain ol
sure returns in at least a large section
of the State. A private letter to the editor
of this paper from a friend in
Wilkesboro gives this example of profit
In apple-growing:
"Our town is one of the leading produce
points of the State. We have several
firms handling apples in large
quantities. A gentleman sold the apples
on his orchard yesterday for $550, cash
in advance, purchasers to take the
fruit from the trees. It is a mountain
farm and not considered very valuable
at that. There is good money in orchards
here if properly looked after."
The North Carolina exhibit of fine
apples at Charleston will be one of the
' sights atthat great Southern Exposition.
It will show the world what
North Carolina orchards' produce.?

A Big Cotton Mill.
The big nc-w "Loray" mills at Gastonia,
N. C., which have just completed
a reorganisation (this time being
Incorpdrated under the laws of Maine),
are now rapidly approaching completion.
The capacity of the complete
plant will be 50,000 spindles and about
1,700 looms and the management
states that it is the intention to install
ahout half that amount of machinery
at first and start the plant
early in November, adding the remainder
as soon as possible. The power
plant is already completed, the water
system perfected, the main building
completed and partly equipped. This
mill will be one of the best built and
equipped as well as the largest mills, in
North Carolina. President George A.
Gray is one of the ablest and most experienced
mill men in the South, and
that the mill will be a great success is
generally predicted by Carolina mill
men.?American cotton Reporter.
Another Rice Mill.
The development of rice-milling in
Louisiana continues steadily. The latest
new mill to be completed in the
State is that of the Iota Rice Milling
Co.. at Iota, in Acadia parish. This
plant made its initial run last week. Its

for the new plant.
A State Sugar Mill.
The State of Texas will erect a sugar
mill to cost from $150,000 to $200,000
i on the Clemens farm, in Brazoria couni

Industrial Miscellany.
C. \V. Tebault, of Norfolk. Va., promoter
of the Norfolk Shipbuilding &
Dry Dock Co.. has issued a prospectus
of the enterprise, announcement of
which was made last month. The capitalization
will be $5,000,000 instead of
$2,000,000, as was at first intended, and
$1,000,000 have already been sub
scrided. A tract of land on Hampton
Roads has been secured as site for the
plant, and steps are to be taken for
completing all the arrangements soon,
so that active work on its construction
may be commenced.
Governor McSweeny of South Carolina
has been notified by a citizen of
Hampton county that he has discovered
a supposed phosphate deposit in that
county. Samples of the rock have been
sent, to the State geologist for analysis.
It is stated that a bill Is being prepared
providing for the establishment
of a branch in Macon, Go., of the Stat-3
School of Technology for the purpose
of giving instruction In manufacturing
kaolin and fire-clays. The bin will be
introduced in the house by one of the

It is well known that clay baked in a m
brick furnace is magnetized along an fj,
1 axis which corresponds to the axis of ne
the terrestrial magnetic field at the mo- re
mcnt of baking, and it is notworthy that ac
the magnetization is very permanent. On _
these facts M. Folghereiter has founded
a method of studying the inclination of
the magnetic needle in antiquity. He
determines the direction of the magnetic
axis of pottery of Etruscan and
Roman times. The declination of the
needle cannot be determined in this way
on account of the impossibility of know>
ing exactly how the vases stood in the
baking ovens; we know that they stood
vertically, but no one can say which side
was to the front. It is quite possible
that this method may be extended to
determinations referring to geologic cp- B
ochs by observing the direction of magnetization
of clay strata that have been
transformed into brick by flows of hot
lava. The latter question is now being
studied in the volcanic region of the

HUMMlNOBlRD.
Vhereto Find Its N?st, and Mow It Feeds
Its Young.
In St. Nicholas, Henry Haley writes
f the ruby-throated humming-bird.
The hummirg-birds builds on the uper
side of, a braach ,a branch generlly
about the size of the nest. The
est is beautifully felted with fine white
cgetable down and studded on the outdc
with fine lichens and minute specks
f bark like the branch itself.
They do not seem to retire to seuded
places to build; they are as ec
riuiiv. in mcir tiiuitc ui a ntrsunglacc
as in their nature and habits,
ome suppose their nests are near the
irdens or vines they visit; but that is
Dt often the ease. A few magic vibraons
of the wings, and they are far
,vay in a few seconds.
The last nest I found was on the
iter end of a branch of silver poplar
lat hung over a public road; every
irfiagc-top that passed under it was
ithin a tew feet of the nest?the last
ace in the world where I should have
cpccted to find such a nest. I should
>t have seen it except that I was acdentally
looking up into the tree, and
saw. protruding over the side of the
?st. the long, fine #bill that happened
-t then to stir. The nest might have
en passed hundreds of times and been
ken for a small knot unless thus beayed.
These birds lay but two eggs, tiny
hite morsels. The young birds when
st hatched are curious little things,
id feed by inserting their bills in the
ouths and throats of their parents. As
e food of the parents -is composed of
ctar and fine insects, it is easily made
ady for the little ones' tiny stemhs.
