The Speeches of Joseph Chamberlain and Ambassador Choate in England. . L okdos (By Cable).—Joseph Chamber lain, the Secretary of State for tbe Col onies, (n a speech at a luncheon at Leices ter. said that he was deeply gratified that the foreign relations of Great Britain were 30 satisfactory,- and ho asserfef that the country owed a debt of gratitude to Lord Salisbury for the great improvement ot Great Britain’s position. It was especially gratifying, he pointed out, to note the trlendly relations existing between the An- i:lo-Saxon branches, saying the the under- itanding between the United States and Great Britain was Indeed a guarantee of the peace of the world. A new triple alliance between the Teu tonic race and the two great branches of :he Anglo-Saxons would, said the Secretary lor the Colonies, be a potent influence In the future of the world. The speaker ex plained that be used the word “alliance,” out, he added, it mattered little whether ;hey had an alliauce committed to paper )T nn “understanding” which existed in [he minds of the statesmen of the respec tive countries. The Thanksgiving banquet of tho Amerl- »an Society at the Hotel Cecil was a genuinely homellLo family gathering of :he Americans In London. Three hundred <uests were present. A toast to I’resident SIcKlnley was proposed by Justice Blgha-n. The principal speech was deliverod by Ambassador Choate. It-; moat important 'eature was a sympathetic allusion to the Irlendship between Great Britain, Ger many and th« United States, lu the coarse >f his speech he said he thought the key- iote of th-» occasion was: “Let England ind America clasp hands across the sea ind the poace of the world would be abso- utely secure.” Mr. Choate also said that tho supreme Uiterest in America was the preservation peac» with all countries on the face of :he earth. None so strongly urged that ipon them as their grt^at generals of com- norciul rivalry, of the vigorous competi- :ion in which the American peoph) were Engaged. It might be thought by some that this rivalry was incou$isteut with a df^slre for ihe pre.aervation ot pence.but it was not fo. Syhich were tno three great nations? Who were tho grout comtnorclal rivals ot the world? Tney wero England. Germany and the United Staler. They had all in this lircctio? one uim. one intetc.nt, and a quarrel hetwoen any twc would be fatal to thu Intereiits of all. THROUGH SLEEPERS, I ^ O X V I L L E r m o X e w y q r K .

Ma>'ila (By Cable).—Tho transpori Ma- nauensc, with Lieutonant-Coionel Webb Havos and threo companies of the Thirty- first Infantry on board, has arrived bufe. She narrowly escaped disaster. Tho of ficers and soldiers were for eleven days bailing with buckets. The steamor was unseaworthy, undermanned and short of provisions. Her engiucs broko down and Bbe rolled three days in a typhoon. The Manauense is thirty-three days from San Francisco. When she ancliored in tho bay here there were several feet of water la her hold, and four hiindretl grimy, greasy, hungry, oxhaiiSted soldiers and sailors had been passing buckets of water since November 17, night and day. First AsMstnnt Engineer Dunleavywa.^ Tinder arrest, and, according to Colonel Haves’s official report, tho chief engineer would also have been under arrest if thero Iiad been any one to replace him. The Colonel’s report also declares that the captain of tho vessel told him that tiie only thing which brought them through was the fact that the men were green horns and failed to realize their danger, while experienced seamen would have de serted the ship and taken to tbe boats in mid-ocean. The Manauense Is a chartered ship, flying tho British flag. She started from Sau Frartcisco accompanied by the transport Peking, which carried the remainder of the regiment, and encountered heaTV sea» to Honolulu, without accident. After starting, It developed that she was undermanned, and soldiers had to be de tailed to act as firemen, coal passers and waiters, and to do other work. Baforo reaching Honolulu, tho crow concluded that the ship was not .ftafe, and the majority agreed to desert. Though they were close ly watched, many of the crow succeeded In getting away, and the Manauense left Honolulu with less than halt her crew. The captain of the transport, on Novem ber 17, told Colonel Hayes that the vessel had sprung a leak, and an investigation resulted in flnding several feet of water In her hold. The steam pumps were tried, but failed to work, and there were no hand pumps on board. However, forty-six buckets wero found, others were impro vised, and the soldiers not employed in working the ship were organized iuto five Bhittd, and. stripped and forming lines, they began bailing, tho officers working with the men, passing tho buckets, which, wero sent up to the deck by a windlass. The balling continued until the ship aa -; ohored here. The same day tbe leak was discovered the machinery collapsed and the electric lighting plant and evaporating, distilllag and refrigerating apparatus failed to work. There were no lamps, and the few candles found were exhausted after a few days. During the last week ot the passage the Manauense was In utter darkness at night. She had been rolling in heavy seas all the way. but on November 22 she encountered a typhoon and pitched and toseed alarm ingly. The water rose rapidly.and the bailing force was doubled. The firemen could only feed the flres by being lifted on the shoulders ot other men, through water waist deep. j The typhoon lasted two days and a half and In the midst ot It the engines stopped. The officers then held a council and found that there were 420 persons on board, with lifeboat accommodations for 213. The heat was intense until the typhoon passed. Throughout therem a’^derof the voyage the engines of the Manaoeuso failed fre quently, and the ship \i;ould roll for a few hours while the engines were' being im paired. Then the steamer would proceed- again fora few hours. The meat and vegetables rotted because ot the failure , ot the refrigerators, and were thrown overboard. After the storm the water supplied to the ship at Honolulu had to be used for tho boilers, and there was little or none for drinking. In fact. It is asserted that during the last week of tho voyage the men lived almost entirely on whiskey, beer and hardtack. The oflicers and soldt*»rs wore utterlv ex hausted when they reached Manila. They declare tho engineers wero grossly incom petent. The officers also say that tho be havior of the troops was beyond praise. For days they worked in tho dark.suf- fccating hold, with water sometimes up to their shoulders and planks washing about in a manner dangerous to life and limb. The officers took the lead in bailing and encouraged the men. Thj regiment will proceed to Zamboanga on the Poking to garrison several ports oa the island of Mindanao. j MEDAL OF HONOa FOR COL SELL The President Orders Its Prefentatlon For Dlstlnffiiishfld Galluntrj.

Recent reports have been sent out regarding those in Row an county. Some very rich finds have been made. Some experts have examined the Gold Hill copper mines, and pronounce that they are "the best in the world." The miners are giving: high endorsement a to the outlook, and it is prophesied that Rowan m ay yet become one ot the greatest prodKing ccpper .dis tricts In the world.

A n interesting inci dent illustrating the development in this line came to band a few days ago, and is as follows: The cashier in one of tho prominent woolen commission houses in N e w York does not always consume the class of goods which he represents. H o employes a high toned Broadway tailor, and recently ordered bis winter overcoat. H e wore it to the office the other day, w hen one of the salesmen accosted bim and said: “ W h y , I thought you always wore foreign goods?” H e said, “ I do. I obtained this from .Tohu Bull, No. — — Broadway.” “ W h y ,” said the sales man, “ don’t you know that we sell these very goods out of this store, aud they are m ade at our mill in Hhode Island?” The cashier was very augry, aud was about to dem aud au explanation from the tailor, wheu the buyer of the jobbing house which had handled these goods happened to call.

O u tho contrary the great cot ton, woolen, silk and other textile mills arc ruuning ou full time and over time, while the manufacturers of rub ber goods, boots and shoes, clothing and pottery reported tbeir orders far in excess of their capacity to fill with . promptness. i “ Ou r chief diflDcuUy,” said the t manager of a great manuractoiy of t rubber clothing, “ is to get a sufficient number of employes and sufficient machinery to meet our orders.

From a moral standpoint how can any man iu Xorth Carolina vote for the so-called constitutional amendment 1 How can any Chris tian be in favor of the election law piwsed by the last legislature 1 Is it not class legislation of the deep est die! Does it not discriminate between the town people and the country people ! Mr. Webster says the word “demiKsracy” means that all the people ai-e entitled to have a part in the government, and does not the present North Carolina elec- tiou law place everything from the elec.tion of the state boards to coun ty boards, registrars, judges of elec tions and school teachers in the hands of the Simmons legislature i Let the county school boards, the school committeeinen and the school teachers answer the.se questions. Under the present elei^tion law the legislature holds the power against all oppon<“uta, whoever they may be ca'.le<l, to couut out all pi«>- ple who hold diiferent views from theirs and countiii theirown party. It has been decided long since that all the people do not think alike, then I would ask all thinking peo ple, regardless of party, to consider wjll wliat fairness there is in an election law framed THE COMFORT.

Scatliine Dcnnnciation of tlie l>raSB »n‘l Nostrums WIiIcSi Cabilenlto Would I'rescrlbo For n Patient Who Neoils So Such Trcatmont. Perhaps the ablest and most com plete answer yet given to the Have- meyer Iree trade contention that ‘ the cns‘toms tariff is the mother of trnsts” is that which is to be found in the paper contributed by D r. Samuel Adams Eobinson to the proceedings of the Chicago Trust Conference of September, 1899. This paper anb- mitted in behalf ot the Americau poliey of protection to Americau labor and industry is in no sense an apology for or a defense of tbat policy. D i‘- Eobinson would as soon tbm k of apologizing for the Apostles’ Creed or the Sermon on the Mount. H e takes tbe offensive, not the dcfensivt'— lio\v elTectively a reading of his very forci ble paper will show. 'Xhs tone assnmed by Dr. Eobinson is indicated iu the title of bis contri bution, “ Free Trade as a Trust Anti dote.” Believiug as be does that freo trade is to a country sucb as ours a calamity and a curse, tbe wi'iter loses no time in defining bis attitiule of vigorous attack upon tbat doctrine which scans «o well- as a theory and proves so atrociously destructive in practice. With a well-aimed sliaft of irony he begins by puncturing the pretention that free traders are ene mies of trusts, and be shows beyond question that it is not the trusts, bub the protective tariff, tbat they wish to destroy. The ccrtain efiect of the destruction of now competition through the re moval of Protection,the only guaranty of unrestricted domestic couipotition, is convincingly pointed out by Dr. Eobinson. H e emphasizes tho fact that competition is the only mcnaco which the trust has lo fear, aud that to destroy that competition would be to play into the hands of trusts. It would inevitably lead, first, to a sweeping reduction of the American standard o^ living, aud, second, to tho formation of tlio international trust— a trust composed of wage payers against Vvhom the v.*age earners of America would be yov.-erless iu tlio absence ol^ tiie advantage which they i novr possess by reason of the Protcc- ! tive Tariff. i Tho facts as to tin plate— that, in practical oper.'itiou.theosteusiblc duty of cents a pound is reduced to about half a cent per pound, aud that while American makers wore advanc ing the price seventy-seven cents a bos the Welsh makers put up thoir Xirice a box— these and other relevant facts are cited by Dr. PiObiu- Hon to show that the American Tin Plato Trust has not yet been convicted of the crime of arbitrarily advancing prices to a point not justified by the large increases that havo taken l)lac3 in the cost of material, wages, etc., and that of freetra^e Great Brit ain the advance has been double that putin force iu protected America. H e also shows that, whereas Americau tin jilate workers have been granted an I advauco of per cent, over the wages they received under the Wilson law, the tin x>late w'orkers of Wales have been compelled to submit to al«) j per cent, reduction of their wages. I The concluding portion of Dr. liob* j inson’s article bristles with points well ! put. O n the question of tariff aud i wages he says : “ Tho question of the effect of a pro- ’ tective tariff upon wages has been in- I jected into this discussion somewhat I gratuitously ou the part of tho enemies j o! protection; somewhat nuwi.soly, ' too, it must appear, for no one, i be- ' lieve, claims that a reduction iu wages has yet beeu put in force by ihe trusts. The fact is that in the general advance of wages, estimated at 15 per cent, for the entire country, which has taken place in connection with the phenom enal prosperity following the restora tion of the policy of pi'otcction to American labor and industry, trusi; wage payers have thus far shown no ; disposition to shirk their sh.'ire. So 1 we must conclude that the tree trade j claim that wages are not affected by j tarifiB is a proposition ou general prin- • ciples intended to discredit protection and not aimed at the trusts. Here again the American free trader stands solitary and alone, a gloomy Napoleou ou an ecouomic St. Helena. His for eign fellows long ago abandoned the conteutiou. There is at present scarcely a shade of difference among European manufacturers as to thetruo I .jftuse of their inability to compete , with America iu tho world’s markets. I W ith common acccrd they say it is tho i result of the high wages paid Ameri- I can workingmen, and that the ostab- ; lishment aud maintenauce of the Am- : ericau standard of wages has been I made possible oniy by the operation of the protective principle. The Am- I crican wage earner iias lately Imd an i object lesson along the line of tariffs ! and v;agos. The lesson -lasted for ! years, and he is not likely to forget it.” T he case against free tr.'ide as an antidote for trusts is pungently ! summed uj) as rollows; j “ The freo trade advocate of the rc- ; uioval of protection as a trust antidote I finds himself upon tho. horns of a di- ' lemma.^ Either we need protection to hold the home market against outside ' competition, or w p do not need i)vo- I tectioi? a’ld can get along equally well without if— better, our free trade friends tel! us. If.we do not need pro- tection, its removal would be value less as a trust antidote. If wc do need i protection iu order to maintain onr hold up-jn a market with a consuming capacity estimated at iiiue billious yearly, then the removal of protcetiou would v.’ork such havoc* with our ODnntry’s prosperity as tho gloomiest ] of peasiiuists would find it well nigh impassible to adequately foreshadow. ; I am not j. pessimist, f am a protec- j tionist, a very different thing now and j always. Protectionists iu the past i have known how to confront a danger with a defense. Tliey will know how to meet tho trust question at tho proper tjme aud in the proper way. 1 They have never failed in an erner- ; gcucy;tboy will not fail now. A rem edy will be forthconiiiig w'heuever tho pathological moment arrives. W e all remetabar the practitioner who could cure but ono disease, and who always threw the patient into a fit, and then prescribed for the fit. History does not. however, record that 1^ y/as in- vSribiy snccessiui m onri>ig t K nt- The stage of fits has reaoliei, though some o£ the qnacks would have us think otherwise. Then, antidote is an old and a well-known one. It -was tried in 1892 and we all know how it worked. D o we want any more o£ it?

True Mcaninc or tho Oemooriitlc UBfoalB in tUe Xovoi«l»ur Kleclions., \mong right thinking and fair minded people there is aud can bo but one conclusion formed fto to the true significance of tho elections ol November, 1839-nam ely that the country is in cordial accord with the national adminiatration in matters of national policy. This conclusion is well espresssd by the N e w York Evening Post, as follows: “ .Utiiough no Federal ofBcials wore chosen yesterday, except in four Con- -rrcssioual districts to till vacancies in the House ot Itepresentatives, a na tional aspect was given to the cam paign in so m any States that tho re sult may be accepted as a verdict of the country on the McICinlej' Admin- istr.atisn, and oapecially on its policy of esii-'-.usion. Tho judgment of tho naopie w.is so clearly e.Kprsssed that .110 room ia le!t for doubt as to the at titude of tho iiatiou.’’ This, coming from a newspaper noto'.l for its hostiliiy to .llepublieau (loctriues and measures, and especial ly uotocl for its bitter ant:^g^uislu to ward the policy ot I’resident M c K in ley in refei-encc to the actinironient of new territory for tho expansiun of American trade and infltieuce, is an nulooked for recognition ot the plaiu meaning of the verdict jast rendered by the Americau ijcople. It is recog nition of tho fact that tho vo'.ers of this country have condemned Bryan- ism and. indorsed JlcKinleyism. There can be no doubt ot it. s The fact that so conclusive a vcrdict has beeu rendered in an “ off year,'’ when tiie sn:oessfnl party was de- Ijrived of the advantage ot contesting the issue on national lines, is at once a compliment of Avhich President M c Kinley may well and donbtless docs feel proud, aud an as.siirance that the hearts and minds ot the people are in thorough sympathy with au aduiiuss- tratio'u that has jiriiven itself to be au American administration iu the broad est, deepest, grandest sense of the word.

The arrival of the fall equinox seems to fill tho whole human tribe with gloom; that of tho spring with impatient joy. I contend that these cftects are uni versal and that their causes are pecu liarly simple. Of course. I am talking about latitudes approximating our own. Iu the decline of the year, as the sun is rushing south, as the leaves are growing gray and wrinkled, as tho days wane and the nights wax, when no longer one can comfortably sit out of doors, the arrival of the raw September days which arc chilled and dampenetV, fills the sensitive soul with anticipatory dread. These herahls of ihe .‘jtiffeaing year, about to be laid on its slab, like a corpse in a morgue, give warning not only that the melancholy days are come, but that the long northern win ter, chill, desolate and forbidding, will soon begin. It is different in middle March. Then tbe patter of the drop ping rain holds out a promise. The song birds are seeking summer homes again. The reviving grass and the ten der moi.nds which burgeon upon the sap-thrilled branches of the awaken ing trees speak the incensed language of life and love. The restored brooks babble that they have thrown off their shackles. Daily the sun burns more ardently upon all the pulses of the stirring earth. The air is full ol promise.

Winter’s the time of all the year. Then’s when a real man really has real joy. Didn’t y<m ever skate ten miles on crinkly ice. with your best girl, hand in hand, or drive her behind tinkling sleighbells to the time-beating fact of a fast trotter, and drive with one hand at that?

A scientific gentleman of Washing ton. who is greatly interested in fos sil remains, recently received a very fine specimen, purporting to be of the Devonian or some other old period. H e was delighted, and he called in all his friends to decide on what manner of thing the animal was dt^ring its lifetime. They were not able to de cide. aud they were on the point of appealing to some of the government geologists. The great trouble was that the specimen had no head, and the absence of that member combined to make a mystery of the missing link variety. Meanv/hile the skeleton was kept carefully guarded in e- cabinet es pecially made for it. On^ day, after a short absence from the city, the sci entist opened the cabinet find found that the fossil had been provided with a head, [-fe was delighted. W hen he niade inquiries his son told him that the friend who had sent him the trunk had found the head and forwarded it to him while he w^as away. The pro fessor called in his friends, and they decidcd i'lat the head fitted perfeotlj-. and that it belonged to the fossil. W hen ihns equipped it looked for all the v,-orld like one of the dogs one wouM imagine the cave men to have kep: as tneir peU. The profes.^or felt that ho ought to v/rite a treatise on the canines of the paleozoic ages. An old colored v.-oman who takes care of the oiTice oanie in one day and saw th6 fossil, with its recent addition. She went up to it and deliberately knocked the head off with her duster. “ I'oh de I.av.'d's ?,'.ke. pnfTe^sah!*’ she exolaim- eu. ‘ wha: yo’ doin' u-id a ol’ chicken carcass on yo* skell'ngton?” On miu- ute investigation the professor found thai the oid woman was correct; but he does not speak to his son no?/.— Washington Post.

EVOLU'nON OF THF BROILERS, . Formerly Confined to a Season, They May Now Be Bought the Year Round. The heu commouly stops laying dur ing at least a part of tbo winter, and begins laying ugain in January and coutiuucs to l»y until early spring, when, naturally, if sho wero not dis- turbed, she would begin to sit ou her oggs and hatch out chickens. W h en these chickens come lo be big‘enough lo weigh from a pound to a pound and a half each, dressed, they are called bvoiler.^. and ns .such the young, tender and delicious chickens are sold. Tiie chicken, of course, remains at a suita ble size for broiling only a compara tively short time, aud when it gets too big for that it become a spring chicken, still young and excellent, but to l)e roasted, or cooked in some other mon- ner than on the gridiron, being now too ]»ig for broiling. ith chickens hatched ont by hens, and. with tho great majority of hens sitting along at about the same time, broilers came into market during a cer tain time of tho year, just as vegeta bles formerly did, before w e began aet- ting them from the Sonih, and from under ghiss. There were some broiJers scattered along before or aftt'r. but most of them came into market iu the late spring and early summer. Years ago. and uot so very many, elvher, twenty years or so. there was ;i i)retty well delined broiler season, lasting a month or six w«‘eks. Then came cold storage, and by that means the broiler season was extended two or three months or more. Some part at least of the surplus broilers, that would otherwise have been i)erniirted lo grow into spring chickens, were killed aud I>ut aw ay in the cold storag(» houses to be dr.iwn ou a» roiiuired. and eo the broiler season, or th<* period in which broilers could be procured, was mate rially lengthened. Then came what is known as the hot house broiler, an ineubator-hatched chicken, raised In a brooder. W iih cold storage the natural broiler season had been prolonged: with incubators it was anticinaiod. and linally it was length ened iiuleliiiitely. There are now, scat tered in various ]»nrts of ilie coui’try. hundrf.ls of p:>uliry farms, using in cubators. tlini are di*voicd ?«)lcly io tlie projluclion ol’ broih'r cliu-keus for the market, .^oino of Them irjrge estab lishments. one in a western State turn ing out l?>0.uu() broilers In a year.

The Washington correspondent of the Pt»t reports Oiugre&smau Linney as in lachrymose state over the i)ossibility that registrars under the election kw will arbitrarily deny persons entitled to register the exerci»e of that privilege. The Congressman from the Eighth may potsess his soul iu peace. He may recollect that the registrars will be Democrats, and that tlie object of the law is to assure the proper reg- istratiou of those entitled to vote, AND TO PREVENT THOSE MEMBERS <JF THE CONGBESSMAS’S PABTY FROM REGISTERING AVHO ARE NOT F.NTITI.ED TO DO SO. It is this lat ter lhat wrenches the conscience of the CXmgressman more than any fear that Democratic registrars will stretch their powers to any such absurd length as he is pleased to suggest. The law is all right for honest folks. It wil' not be abused by the officers appointed there under. Let the picturesque tJon- /ressman trom thfc Brushes unite '.viih his fellow clti7.eus iu seeing :hat -jnly men honcsfly entitled to do so are registered under the law. Iiiofu.iig j:*ost. The above copied from the Post S ;Qnds very well until you road that cl.iuse which says “and to I prevei)!. those members of the Con- That Iiiiquitoiu Constitutional Auieudmeut. R. A. Cobb in Times-Mercury. Of all the infamous methods that the Democrats have resorted to, to get possession of the State and county offices, the proposed consti tutional amendment and election law caps the clinia.x; but we are glad to know that the oflice-seeking gang in the party have gone so far and are willing to resort to such diabolical methods that the honest .veom.inr.v of their party are getting disgusted and say they cannot fol low them. Ah evideuct of this, permit me to give in substance a couveifiation between the writer and two leading Democrats of Burke county last week. One of them a leading merchant who has accumu lated large means, the other a well to do larmer, and stands high iu Democratic councils, and both started in the liumble walks of life, and being old friends, we held a sort of a confidential experience meeting on the amendment. The writer Wiis asked his reasons far opposing it, which we give unre served, and was sanctioned by the trio. In turn they gave their rea sons by stating that the measure discriminated between the fortu nate white man and the unfortu nate, which according to their views of Democracy, this is un- Demotaatic, and they were not willing to fasten a law upon their nnfortiinate fellow creatures, who from their poverty were not able to pay their taxes and obtain an edu cation, and for these and other rea sons the.v were opposed to the amendment. Mr. Editor, I am persuaded that many of your readers can recall and when elected if you cau’t do better than your competitor, and ^ the balance of that brainy ’99 Leg- j islature did, my advice would be for you to stay at home. T hat Constitutional A m endm ent. That great and only body of law makers for North Carolina have at last met agiiin, with the express purpose of trying to disfranchise the pool white man and negroes of this State. Will the great and good people of Xorth Carolina stand by with their arms foldetl and see soch a law passed, or will they once again declare for freedom and jus tice, as they have of yoret Does the great mass of voting men believe in taxation without representation! Surely not. Would this country ol ours h« a land of the free to allow such proceedings! Certainly not. If the poor white man who cannot read and write, nor repeat the constitution of the United States backward, be made to pay taxes, should he not be al lowed to vote, also 1 Or have we lost our independence which was fonght for in ’76, and which onr ancestors bled and died for? Would there not be at least three white meu disfranchised to one n^ro? This amendment would disfran chise the poor hard-working far mer who, by the sweat of bis brow, toils for his children and is notable to read and write, while the rich man, who lives in comfort and lux ury and who has graduated in some high college, v,-alks up and casts his vote for the man he desires to be elected, while the poor illiterate white man stai ds back and is not allowecl the privilege of casting his vote.

Post, if you are in favor of giving to t’oual property an educational qual. iiication to deprive the poor white men of their privilege to vote. The gentlemen above referred to are re minded of this, hence their oppo sition to the ameudment, as at that time iLcy and their fathers be longed to the poor class, and they knew it would eli'ect their less for tunate fellow beiugK. It’s the same old fight over agsiiu that was fought every one h-.nesilv entitled to reg-•’ • ° ment opposing each other. Withister unaer the law of 1S99, the right to do so, tell us if you wil! aid us in counting those votes as i-ast, aud not join the Simmons crov.-d in throwing out the votes of the po<ir illiterate white men who, not being able to read the laliel on the boxes, places his ballot in the wrong box? Now, Mr. Post, are you iu favor of that part of the law •< hich forbids a friend who can this slight dilt'ercnce, then it was the slave holdiug landed aristoc racy against the poor white labor ing class. Now it’s the otl'spring of the slave-holdiug landed aris tocracy who have eat up all their dadies left them, and ate to > proud to work (H’s office now or perish), against the laboring class. Of course, the Democrats are liopiug to force this miserable sufl'- i-age upon the people by going up aud down the State hollowing nig- ^'erl nigger! employing a lot of r^ the better lass of Democrats are disgiuited with such barbarianiem aswasprac- ticed duriug the last campaign and the nigger vrill not be in it this time; it will be the office-hold ing and oBice-seeking Democrats agivinst the white laboring class.

Now, Mr. | Post, do you endorse the bold and unrighteous deception your party is ai tempting, in saying to the poor white man who cannot read or write, “that yoar rights are uot to be iuterfered with,” and then pass an election law which virtually dis- I'ranchises every ignorant voter by requiring him to place his ballot in he proper box, when you know he cannot do so ■without assistance? In conclusion, dear Post, we have tried so hanl to get some you iutel ligeut Democratic editors to eluci date some of the glaring inconsist encies of this law, which you are so feebly attempting to defend. Now, if you will convince me that this law is going lo give to every man in North Carolina the right to vote who is honestly entitled to do so, and that under its provisions all those votes w'ill be honestly coun - ed as cast, I will endorse it and say it’s a good law. 'Will yon please tell us who deposits the ballots in the box under your 1899 law, the judges or the voter? If the voter deposits his own ballot, please tell Its if every man, white and black, who cannot read, is not virtua'ly disfranchised by the operation of sections 23 and 29 of yonr honest election law. Now, be fair and an swer these questions specifically, and make it so plain that all can understand. Don’t leave the most ignorant longer in doubt. We arc as much opposed to rascality in one party as another. If we are wrong in our construction of this 1899 law, we want to be corrected. We have no desire or inclination to deceive the people. Help ns to a proper understanding of your law and we will thank yon profoundly. North State, why do you slumber and sleep while the enemy is near? Hickory, N. O. c. r. c.

S a n fo r d . m \B h E little M ax found o u t aboat the weakness of the flesh aud the will- i u g u e s s of the spirit at about the same time that his first r e a l disap- pointmeuts came to him, and im m e diately after his first attempt to commit the virtue of sel^-sacrifice. M ax was six years old. His dog *^Jack” was au amiable creature, and had endeared himself very much to his master. Jack had to get in the way of a truck, and Jack died. The hope of M a x’s heart was the fact that when he, too, died, — which because of the death of Jack he then hoped would be very soou,— he would meet Jack in heaven. Somebody— some unimaginative person— told M a x that dogs did uot go to heaven, that they hud no pouls. That was M a x ’s first great disappointmeut. T he second wns like unto it. T he same somebody— one of those bothersome bodies wl o put shoes and stockings on little boys on rainy days in the summer, aud make them wear uncomfortable clothes when they go iu swimming— told M a x the whole story of Santa Claus. M a x took his sonowful heart to his mother’s knee, and, hoping against hope, told her what he had iieard, and when it was all over he felt bet ter, for iu place of the beautiful story he had lost she had told him another. In the long, coo] grass down near the water’s edge, he thought of the new story, and the more he thought of it the better he liked it. “ If Dot was to fall in that water there,” he said half aloud, as he sat np and looked out over the dancing wavelets of tho lake, “ I ’d dive in after her. Maybe I ’d be drowned,”— he hesitated for a moment and shud> dered— “ but what of that? I ’d be self-sacrificing. Sappof>ia’ I was drowned; anyhow, tliey’d put me in the parlor, aad everybody would cry and say I was a good boy, and had given up m y life for Dot. A n d I would give it up for her, that I would.” Whei-eupon M a x began to think of such terrible things that might hap pen to his sister Dot, who was only four years old, and of still more ter rible things that might happen to him, if he should try to sacrilice himself for her, that pretty soon he began to feel a little weak in the kuees, and it b.egan to got cold dowu in the grass, and the little boy decided to whistle and go to see the pigs. While he was poking them in the ribs. M ax had au idea. It saddenly occtirred to him that there was no flense in his making it a matter of life and death jast to sacrifice himself. His mother had told him ibat men and: women gjive gifts to their little children at Christmas to make them happy, and that sel -denial aud self- sacrifice were the true essence of the Christmas spirit. M a x had a little fortune stored away in hia bank. This fortune be decided to .sp en d to m ake D o t h a p p j. ^^ull of this idea, he ran to his mother. H er consent was a matter of course, aud M a x arranged the pre liminaries. VDot,” he said that night, as they la y in their cribs, “ how do yon like Chri^inases?” eyes grow big. She remem- b e ^ d ' the dolls of the past winter, and the lights of the Christmas tree, and M ax thanked his stars that he had thought of such a grand Bchome, when the very idea of it made Dot so happy, “ .Well,” said he, w hen she had told h im .^ the strongest term s how very m uch she liked Christm ases, *^ou just w atch out day after to-morfow, and hang up your stocking to-morrow, and yoaUl see tn o th er Christm as. T hai’s w hat*’ Dot suggested that it was auminer> time. Bat M ax said that was allright, that Kris Eringle was coming in a haj-wigon, and that the reindeer had been turned into mules with great long ears. Dot fell asleep with wou- derfal thpngbte of reindeer turnediQ- to mhles with long ears, and M ax sighed,'' remembering his own fond fancies about Kris Kringle, and how he, to9i had been happy once. T he Boit day was full ot work for the little boy. First, he had to keep Dot’s thbnghts keyed ap to the most intense pitch, for the little girl could not get over her donbts about the reindeer and tho snow. Then he had to consult the bank. H e found there was jnst sixty-six cents in it. In the first excitement ot hia desire to sacrifice himself hb had decided to spend every cent he had; bat now, on second thoughts, he concluded that half of his fortune would buy enough things to fill his sister’s stocking, and then ho wonld still have a little money left. Finally, he compromised on twenty-five cents for Dot, aud with just a little feeling that he was not as generous as ho should be, he went down into the village to make his purchases. H e bought a large orange for the toe of the atocking, and an apple to go B y W A R R E X M c V E I O M . nest, and then a lot of cnnrty and kisses, and then a banana to peep out of the top. W ith his purchases tucked nnder his coat, ho stole home, and though Dot was fast asleep in the nursery, taking her afternoon nap, M a x had all the-fun aud mystery of stealing cau tiously into the house through the rear cellar door. M a x held it at arm’s length and looked at it again with increasing pleasure, and thought what a wonderfully fine banana it wasi to be sure. Then it occurred to him that ‘*0N THE FLOOR IiAY THE LITTXE TOT o r A HUMAN BEING, CRYING AS IP HIS HEART WOUIiD BREAK.” H e tiptoed upstairs, and hid his things in the darkest corner of the and good and temptin garret, and then, with much impa- ' ---«« tience, he waited for night. Night came, and the little girl was tucked away in her bed. The mother and father had gone out for the even ing, and M a x had the whole house to himself. So, after Dot was fast asleep^ he got ont of his crib and went up in to the garret for the good things he had bought that day. Then he tiptoed down to the nursery agaiu, and, after looking ut his sister to m ake sure that she was fast asleep, he began to fill her stocking. This done, he eat dowu near the Dot wouldn’t m ind a bit if he took half of it. H e could tell her all r.bouti it in the morning. She always gave him half of everything she had, and beside.s, hadn’t he bought all those things for her? and even if ho ate the whole bauana there would bo plenty of fruit left for her. So he ato the w'hole of it, aud then, half ashamed of himself, he hid tho skin ^lnder the chair and took another look at his sis ter to make sure that she had not seen him. A n d still the stocking looked so full that M ax thought if he could only have one candy, or one of the kisses, he would be supremely happy; and so ke took one ont and tested it, and it was so good that he ate another and an other--- Until, all of a sudden, before he half knew what he had done, the door flew open, and there stood his father and mother. And on tbo floor lay the little tot of a hum an being, crying as if his heart would break, for the stocking hung flat and empty, aud M ax h ai begun to realize that all of his self*sacrifice had been in vain; |i0 U S E |1 0 L D J^y\S Q p O W | !

T he stocking really did look very beautiful. T he orange ana th® apple m ade big lumps at tho toe, and one end of tho banana peeped ont at the top of the stocking, very inviting and nice. M a x decided to sit up and hear what his mother had to say about his work. H e knew that she would take him ou her lap and kiss him, and call him a good little boy, andmaybe, bethought, she wonld cry a little. M a x always liked it when his mother cried over him. It made him feel queer and nice. The minutes crept along, and still the little boy sat iu the dim light watohingthe stocking,listening to Dot that he was nothing but a selfish, t4ioughtless little boy. and that his sister. Dot, would have nothing but disappointed tears for him in the morning.— St. Nicholas. “h e sat down kear the night -lamp , AND CONTEMPLATED HIS WOBK.” breathing lazily in her sleep, and thinking of what a good boy he bad been, and how nice it was to sacrifice yourself for another’s happiness. A nd then all of a sudden it oc curred to him that there was nothing in'the world that he liked better than bananas. The oue he had bought for Dot was the very best one iu the mar ket, thick and rich and yellow. M ax hadn’t tasted a banaiia in a month, and the more he looked at the tempt ing banana in Dot’s stocking the more he yearned for just one bite of it. M a x arose and went over to the stocking. H e bad made up his mind jnst to take it out and smell it, and then to put it back where it had been. S astaC lans—“ Heavenn?

The Hi«’-hland brigade attacked at daybreak on Monday the south end of the kopje. The aitack was properly timed, but fail ed The guards were ordered to pro tect the Highlands’ right and rear. Ih e cavalry and mounted infantry, with a howitzer artillery battery, attacked the enemy on the left and the guards on the right, supported by field artillery and howitzer artillery. “They shelled the position from day break. and at 1:15 I sent the Gordons to support the Highland brigade. The troops held their own in front of the enemy's intrcncliments until dusk, -the position extending, including the kopjc, for a distance of six miles toward the Modder river. To-day I am holding my position and intrenching myself. I had to face at least i 2 ,coo men. Our loss was great. “ As the Bo{.t^ occupied ihcir trench es s:rongly tliis morning I retired in perfcct order here, where I am in se curity. " I have gathered from.some of the prisoners and irom our men with the ambulances, who talked with the Boers, that the enemy's losses were terrible, some corps being completely wiped out. The Boers have been most kind to my wounded.” The W a r Office Saturday received a dispatcli announcing that General Bul- Icr has met with a serious reverse, los- injr 1 1 guns. General Bullcr was attempting to cross the Tugela river. Finding it im possible to elYect his object, he ordered a retirement in order to avoid greater losses. Since the days of the Indian mutiny England has not been confronted with so paiiiful ;ind anxious a situation. Plainly General Culler’s advance is par alyzed’ f<^r the moment as completely as Lord Mcthui-n's and General Gatacre’s. The depn'ssion over the defeat of Great Britain’s trusted and idolized commanrler is all the greater, as. dur ing the last hours, there had been re ports of the relief of Ladysmith. Fri day the W a r Office allowed it to be un derstood that the position of affairs in Natal was entirely satisfactory. The re action is all the more pronounced on this account. The London war office publishes the following dispatch front Gen. Foresiier- Walker at Cape To w n: “ Gatacre reports: Deeply regret to in form you thut I met with a serious re verse in the aitack on Stormbcrg. I v/as misled as to the eneniy s position by the guides and found impracticable ground. The war olViee ha.s received the follow ing dispatch from Cape T o w n dated Sat urday night: “The po.siilon of the enemy in Storm- berg district last night was the follow- ing: "A t Stormberg, six laaffcrs, at D o r drecht, 800 men; 23 miles south o£ Sterkstrooin, 220 men. “ The railway bridge at Modder river was completed December 7 . Methuen reports that he made a demonstration up the line of the railway at daylight with artillery. The enemy did not respond. Methuen is receiving the remainder of his reinforcements and supplies. H e has e-itablislied detached oosts on his line of communication. The Times publishes the following dispatch from ';SloUeno: “ Gen. Gatacre attempted to assault the Boer position at Stormberg at dawn to day (Sunrlay). The guides led us wrong and v/e were surprised while in fours and after .t very trying night march. Our rctiremciu was cffcclcd in excellent or- dcr, there beiuR no hurry even at the most critical time. The Northumber- lands and Iri.'h rifics behaved as if on review day. I fe:ir onr losses are heavy. One of our guns we had to abandon.” It is hardly too much to regard Gen. Gatacre’s repulse near Stormberg as the most serious defeat British arms have yet sustained in the whole campaign. Already the official advances show that .2 men were killed. 9 officers and ir men were wounded and 0 ofKcer.-t and 596 men are missing. But it is evident that the worst is not yet known. The pro portion nf wounded and killed is so small, when compared w’ith the missing — who are undoubtedly pri.soners in the hands of the Boers— that the supplemen tary list «»f casualties is awaited with se rious misgiving. It is also feared that there were seri ous losses of guns and equipment. The most serious aspect of the afrair is the effect it is likely to have on tlie Dutch in Cape Colony, who have been wavering as to whether to throw in their lot with the Boers. Hosts of the north ern farmers are now likely to join the rebellion. The defeat is also serious be cause it will delay the function of Gen. Gatacre and Gen. French at Naauw- poort.' The plan was lor their combined forces t-^ relieve the pressure on Lord ^letliuen's column. The disclosure oi such a strong force at Stormberg was quite unexpected. Doubtless Gen. Gatacre was the victim of treacherous guides. But the result points also to the absence of proper cav alry scouting. The war office has received the fol lowing from General Foreslier-Walkcr: "Cape Town, Dec. 11 .— Gatacre re ports as follows: The idea to attack Stormberg seemed to promise certain success, but the distance was underesti mated by myself and the local guides A policeman took us round some miles* and consequently we were marching from 9:30 p. m. till 4 a. m., and were landed in an impossible position.

In the Senate Monday. Mr. Mason addressed the Senate for an hour and 2 S minutes on a resolution expressing sympathy for the Boer.s. A t its conclu sion Mr. Lodjje, after expressing the wish tha: M r. M ason mijrht have deliv ered his address in the Briti.-h Parlia ment, said tliere was a wide gulf be tween private opinion and public of ficial expression. The executive de partm ent of the Government, he said, had assumed a neutral attitude toward the South African war. The passage of this resoUuion by the Senate would change immediately that attitude. “ If we arc to depart from the position oi neutrality.” said Mr. Lodge. **it ought to be a subject of most serious consid eration.” lie moved, therefore, that the re«oluti(m i)c sent to the Committee on I'orei^^n Relations, and it was so or dered.

Whether yX^iuiral Dev;ey, acting for the I'nited States Government, formal ly or intonnally recognized the Philip pine Republic at Manila is a question wliich .Mr. Pettigrew, of South D a kota, desires the N'avy Department to answer. H e introduced a resohition Tuesday, directing the Secretary of the Navy to supply the Senate with infor mation on the subjcct, but Mr. Chan dler, of N ew Hampshire, objected to its immediate consideration. T E N T H DAY. Senator Lodge. W ednesday, introduc ed a bill to provide for telegraphic com munication between the United States of America, the Hawaiian Islands, Guam, the Philippine Islands, Japan and China, and to prom ote commerce. It authorizes the postma.'.ter general to contract with an Amcri'*an Cable Com pany for tlie paym ent by the United States of not exceeding $400,000 a year for 30 years for the electrical transm is sion of official messages of the United States to Honoluiiu Guatn,^ Manila, H ong K ong and some point in Japan. The cable must be in operation by Jan uary I. 1503 . The bill further provides for a duplicate line of cable, in order that there .^hall be no interruption of communicaiion. Tiie am ounts received by the cable company from the United States shall be used only for repairs and renewals of cables, ctc. The company mu«t at all times be capable of fulfiiling it.=? contract or forfeit the payments by the United States, and if the company fail to transm it the governm ent mes sages during a period of two years, the governm ent obligation shall cease. Af ter 20 t'car.s governm ent messages shall be transm itted at half rates forever. In case of war the govem raent may take possession of the lines and stations of the company. . A t the beginning or the session of the Senate. Mr. Gallinger (N . C.) pre sented a bill for the codification of the pension laws. It is proposed that the commission shall consist-of jurists and members of the G. A. R- _ E L E V E N T H D .\Y . The Senate Thursday by a decisive vote and practically without discussion, laid on the table the Pettigrew resolu tion of inquiry as to whether or not U nited States forces had recognized the Filipino insurgents’ flag and had turn ed over the Spanish soldiers to the in surgents. It agreed to the house reso lution to recess from Decem ber 20 to January 3 , and agreed to meet to-m or row ti- rcceivc reports on the composi tion f'i its committees for this Con gress. >*ot Kaw an Issae.

Mr. Linney, the Bepre«entative of the eighth district of th*» State, is a s'cutieman who has the ability, jrtcnuircd by long experience, to tfira around so quickly as to locate the, seat of his trousers in Iront. It c^hoitld not oo'asion any Enrprixe, therefore, that after declaring him- « lf la«t year a bi-meti^llist, he »i:p- prrtK tbie year a bill which declares for tbe single gold standard. Mr. Atv.’gter. the RcpreseniatiTe of tb« fotirtb di'itrict, in his speech in the U()-c>Ee Thursday seemed lo treat tLese joint circuinsiauees as matter for wouder, bat it is not. A man who has done many of the things that Mr. Linney has done, the last being a published statement over hie own name that negro Bibiiop Petty ill the equal of any man in ilatlilenbnrg count}', can do any thing.—(Jharlotte Observer. The Oh.wr’/er i.s coa«!dere<l by inipsrtial aea of all psrties—one of tb« fairest Domoeratic papers edited in the Etate, yet its partizan- bias 13 so great, it once and awhile falls from grace, and commits the ■ame kind of sins that are so often, and without excuse, committed by the Democratic papers. The Ob server has knowingly, or through inadrertance, misrepreseuted Mr. Linney in the above article. Mr. Linney wrote a letter to the WilLesboro Journal which ap peared in that paper Dec. 1st, in which he used this language, with reference to an editorial which ap pea red in that paper at a former date, in defense of the people of Wilkes county. Xow—read Mr. linney’s own words and judge for yourself: “That was a heavy blow yon gave the Observer when yon intimate that Wilkes had produced a half- breed—Bishop Petty—who pos sessed as much intelligence as any man in'3Iecklenbiu-g.” Can any fair, impartial, un-bi- assed man place any such conatrnc' lion upon Mr. Linney’s language as the Observer does, in the above paragraph t Mr. Linney does not say a word about Bishop Petty be ing the equal of any man in Meek leubui^ or any other county. He only refers to what the Journal had said of Bi3liop Petty in its reply to a sling at Wilkes. It’s the Jour nal’s language and not Mr. Lin ney*. Why can’t yon Democratic pa- pen once and a while tell the truth about Bepnblicans, without twist ing yonr quotations out of all recog nizable shapet There are a lot of good honest men in the Eepublican party, regardless of the abuse and maledictions rained down upon their beads by a malicious intoler ant Dtmocratic press. When a Republican leaves bis party and join* your ranks be is a patriot, hero and statesnuin. On the other hand, let a man leave the Democratic parly and join the He- publican party, and at once the vi als of yonr wiatb aretnrnel loose «nd you heap npan him vile, slan derous absise. Like the Jews ot old; nothing good ronld be seen in a Gentile. Such methods have seen their day. The people will no longer be ruled and governed by the bigotx--d, intolerant demasogats- ism of men who resort to bitter iu- vcciive, vile miBrepresentation of their poiitical antagonisls. Away with such wen and such methods— lets lead the great common people by addrcMing their sense of justice, their reason and common aeuse. The tiape set by I be Simmons crowd to catch the illiterate white men, have been located and the people :ire awake.

The DemcK!r.itic preKs of North Carolina seemed to be wrought up to a high pitch over the step taken by Senator Pritchard to secure a little application of the constitution of the ilnited Slates to the locality ill which these papers operate. These papers fear that the resol J- tiou introduced by the Seaator will not be cunsideretl germane to some thing or Homebody and that »ou!S- thing unpi-«c«-deuted will be done. It may be of paBsiug intereat to those nervous journalists that Sen- atoi-s atewart, Beveridge and other leading men ot the senate are of the opinion that the resolatiou is altogether in ord»-r and they will support it on the lloor of tUe sen ate. A few days ago when the proposed Payne resolution, looking to ti'.c restriction of tlie .<joathern repitsentation in national conven- tiou.'i \7att sc-Et to the quiet recesses of a piftcon hole through the infln ence of southeru Republicans it was urged by induential opponents that the santhern elctitians were a mst ter for congresaional attention. Men of national reputation everywhere are glad that the s-.ibject is reueir- iug attention from auch a high and pro})er sourt^e. The resolution deals with a ques tion that affects the people of the United States, and therefore Sena tor Pritchard will press the matter to a vote at the earliest pobsible momen:. “If the leaders of tha Democratic party,” :said Senator Pritchard to me yesterday, “are sincere in their professions with regard to the colored man I cannot understand why it is they do not propose to abrogate the fourteenth and'Hfteenth amendment of thecon- stitutiou of the United States. If ther>e amendments were out of the way the Democrats could then de prive the colored man of his voce without coming in contlict with the constitution, and the fact that they do not propose to abrogate these piovisiong is clear proof to my mind that they propose to disfranchise the poor illiterate white people as well as the colored people oi North Carolina.” Some of onr Dsmooratic friendj are very colicitous about Senator Pritchards resolution. They pre^ tend to be in favor of the majority ruling, yet they have passed an election law with which they pro pose to force through an nuconsti tutional amendment which will vir> tually nallify majority-rule in thi* •State as it has done in South C&ro- olina and Louisiana. We are hear tily in favor of congress taking standing by the great common peo ple in their fight for their rights and liberties'. Xiemcmber the Gold- den Buie.

Lockey w;is not banished immediately after the riot as were a naml>er of bis swsoci- ates, but was waited on b.v a com mittee and asked how long it wonld take him to wind np bis busine.-« here. He replied, probably 30 days, and was given the time he asked. This ':ou.dderatiou was ac corded him be-fiii!<e he hail not made himself so odious as many of his asuc-v-i'isefl had. l.ockey’s iriends here claim that he woaltl not have returned to Wilmington bad ho not beeu assured by cerraiu prominent Democrats that the animo<>ity against him was spent and no ob jection would be raised to his pres ence here. If the above does not digcIo!w a disgraceful state of afTaira in thi» State, we are no judge. In free North Carolina a man is made to leave his home, his property and h's business and seek a home else where, and yet we boast of onr love of right, justice and freedom. These thiugb have got to stop some where or somebody is going to bi’ hurt. The people are not going to tamely submit to such wrongs al- w.iys. Instead of heralding soob things abroad as something to be proud of, it should be a matter of shame. THE COMFORT. HOLIDAY GOOD3- Do your holiday buying as early aa ]xn«ible.

(Special).—The Con :roller of the Currency has announced that thu Globe National Rank ct Boston has closed ita doors by order ot the Con troUer and that Special Examiner Daniel &. Wing has been placed in charge of the •nstitatlon as temporary receiver. The Slobe Bank had a capital of #1,000,000 and ita downfall was oaosed by losses snstalned In the recent failnre ot the Broadway Na* tlonal Bank of the same city and by the leetine in value of oopper stooics.

The directors very laudably agreed and undertook to maice good tbe ioubtful and bad assets found, and have greatly Improved tbecondltlon of tbe bank )lnce that time. They aUo delivered to tbe Controller a written guarantee that they would remove tbe doubtful assets. Becent failures in Boston have lessened the (ralue ot the unperformed portion ot tbe ccuurantee and involved «be solvency ot :ue bank. “In view of tbe fact that to allow the bank to remain cpon longer will result in lojastlce to nnsecured creditors, now that the condition of Insolvency is found to ex ist. it becomes my duty under the law to appoint a receiver. A considerable cash div idend can be paid to creditors at once. The sonditloa ot the bank was discovered by Bpecial Examiner Wlog ia time to secure lueb action on the part of tbe directors as will probably prevent tbe failure from in* HiotlQg heavy losses upon tbe depositors, but the directors and stockholders will lose heavily.*' SarprJse Ezproased at Boaton.

H avana (By Cable).—The welcome given Hajor-General Wood, the new Governor* General of Cuba, on entering Havana, was. according to all the old residents, witbou' parallel in tbe history of tbe island. Th< elaborate display of bunting in the barboi and tbe multitude ot boats and band: stowed that the hastily formed Beception C >mmittee haddone excellent work. More over, there was a heartiness in tbe cheer ing that was quite onusuaL General Wood arrived here at daybreak on the steamer Mexico, Captain McIntosh. The steamer was gayly decorated with flags. From Cabanas Fortress a Majoi General’s salute of thirteen guns was Ared, and the Cubans from the Punta fired a Gov- ernor-General’s salute of twenty-one guns by tbe explosion ot petards. Civil Governor Nunez was tbe first man. after the pilot, to board the Mexico. He was accompanied by Commissioner of Cus toms Bliss, Generals Chaffee, Blohards and Humphreys, Mayor La Coste, a deputatiou from the courts and from every depart ment of Government. Every launch in the harbor, barges and rowboats were hired and decorated with bunting. Even a big ferryboat, with a band, was pressed Into service. Three bauds played during the hour which General Wood remained on tbe Mexico after her arrival. Then he boarded a launch supplied by the Entertainment Committee, while a salute of twenty-one rockets, each having American or Cuban flags attached, was flreJ. Much enthusiasm wa» manifested on every side. Tery beautiful was the dltiplay made by tbe procession ot launches which escorted the new Governor-General to the shore. Many ot the launches towed large and gay ly decorated boats. A large crowd received General Wood at Machlna Wharf, and upon landing there he was greeted with hearty cheers. He woi theu driven to the Hotel lugiaterra. During the morning there was a con stant stream ot callers at the hotel. Cue of tbe first callers was Senor Qaoaeda, Spe cial Commissioner of Cuba at WiLshlDgton, who arrived on the steamer Mascotte at the same time tho new Governor-General arrived on the Mexico. No reception was given to General Wood on shore, as the committe t thought that to do this might show a want of proper re spect for General Brooke, the retiring Gov ernor General. At noon General Wood, with Lieutenant Brooks, his aide, went to th*^ palace and called on General Brooke. The latter pre sented the members of the Cabinet and the officers of bis staff. He then turned his office over to General Wood. When told of the deatli of General Law- tou General Wood was deeply affected, and for several minutes was unable to oonvei.»e. Tbe local papers devote considerable space to the reception, declaring that Gen eral Wood is tbe most acceptable man who couid have been appointed to bring Cuba out of her difficulties and Info a quiet har bor.

SAMOAN TREATIES REPORTED. Senate Committee, Despite Bacon*a Oppo> altloo. AcU Favorably. Washinotok, D. C. (Special).—The Son ata Committee on Foreign Belatlons au thorized a favorable report upon the two treaties negotiated with Great Britain and Germany for tbe dissolution of the tripar tite agreement for the control of the Sa moan Islaods. Senator Bacon, one of tho new Demo cratic members ot the committee, was tbe only opponent ot the treaty, aud he did Tiot »eek to delay the reportinu of It to the Sen ate. His opposition was directed toward acquisition by this country of the Island ot fatulla, and was based npon the con tention that the consent of tbe islanders eli^'uld be first secured. Hs was met on this proposition with the statement that the natives were noth ing more than wandering tribes*. and with tbn areumeut that the United S ates could not afford to forego the opportmiitv to secnrj com pete control of Pago Pago Harbor, which this treaty furnishes.

Ooveramentto Investigate the Dam* age In Our Eastern Waters. The serious sltuatlaa ot aSairs as to oysters In Pamlico sound will at tract wide attention, not only In this State, but Virginia and Mairland, too, as these States iiave luocured many oysters from this State, nearly all, ot course, from Pamlico sound; which is tiie great breeding ground. Not only have oysters beaji taken tor direct sale and for canning, but also the small ones for planting. The Investigation of the extent of the oyster destruction by thla year’s storms 4s of the highest importance to m any thousand of peo ple, oyater-takers and oyster-eaters alike. A great m any people m ake a living mainly by oysterlng. These are now doing nothing, as oysters cannot be found. There are shells by the mil lion, but empty, save tor sand or mud. The government will settd the Flsh- hawk, whfch has for sefveral montlis been at Beaufort, to Pamlico sound. But the vessel, though drawing only S 1-2 feet of water, can’t get from Beaufort Into Pamlico sound, nor can she get Into that sound through any of the inlets, for at Ocraooke Inlet there is only 8 feet of water on tJie most favoring tides. Therefore she must go to Norfolk and thence pass through the Albemarle and Chesa peake canal into the sounds. Ordin arily her passage througih that canal would cost $400, tor tolls and towage, but the canal people ■will charge only the actual ooet ot vetire for the tow ing tug, so anxious are they that the Fishhawk shall see what is the trouble with the oysters.

I wish to call your attciDtion In tlij first place to the statement bo often sent out Irom thus office; namely, that I would recognize the school officials appointed by the Legislature of 189S, until the courts ordered otherwise. Ac cording to the opinion of the Attor ney Genraal, the Supreme Court pass ed upon the following points, to-wit; 1st "It held that the County Board of Education, now the Board of Sohoo'i Di 3«ctors, created under the Act ot 1897, was not abolished by Chapter 732 of the Acts of 1899.” 2nd. ‘"Phat the county commdssjon- eis, the clerk and register of deeds had, under the old law, the authority neces sary and by direct Implication to fill vacancies in tihe Board of Educatloiit now the Board of School Directors.” 3rd. ‘‘That the old Board of Educa.- tlon, now the Board of School Direc tors, Is a continuing body, at all times qualified to perform the responsible duties imposed upom it” 4th. “That the old Board of Educa tion, now called the County Board of School Directors, are not functl officio, but still have power to perform the duties prescribed in the Act of 1899.” 5th. ‘‘That vacancies tn the Board ot Education, or School Directors occur ring since the passage ot the Act ot 1899 are eo ii3stanti filled by the ap pointees under that act” I quote again from the Attorney General as follows: “ It now becomes your duty, under the decision of the Supreme Court In the school cases, to give effect only to Section 6. Chapter 108, Acts of 1897, and to recognize the officers therein named and tihose elect ed by them, but in every other respect to go forward with the great seSiool work under the Act of 1899.” Again he says: "T h e acts of a de facto pub lic officer are valid, so far as they oon- oem the public or third persons, who have an interest In the things done.” The followiing questions were sub mitted to the Attorney Generai: First-Where the county boards en tered on tbeir record a prot<>st bi;fure turning the office over to the board appointed by tbe Legislature, but en tered no suit In tbe courts to test their legal rights, which Is the legal board here? Second— W here the county board did not enter a protest on the record book, but merely made a verbal protest and withdrew, leaving the school affairs in the 'hands of the board appointed by the Legislature, which is the legal board here? Third— Where nv. protest at all was made, and where the old board did not even appear at the office and the Su pervisor turned over the record, books, etc., to the board appointed by the Legislature, which is the legal board here? In reply to these questions the At torney General gives the general rule of law as follows: “A discontinuance of the exercise of official functions ji obedience to a statute which Is after ward declared unconstitutional during tho continuance of the term, will not effect an abandonm ent” Again ihe says; "I do not think the old boards can be taken to have aban doned their offices, even If no protest of amy nature whatever was entered, unless you should find as a llact that such a refusal or neglect to perform the duties was wilful.” According to this ruling It becomes my duty to recognize the old boards in every county where said hoards re quest recognition and desire to act, and in all cases where the old board’s do not care to resume the duties of the County School Board, the boards ap- letter, clear the Suwrim 1 T o t h e T e a c f e s I Dear TeMhep,!’' • clipping from i your county in -I*'’*' >. aanounees aaUon on I W .„ L ’'‘>1 kul states; certificate, but aminationaifw “ “ Ply with tw^J? ber posiiion, etc.” I wish to Bay to . eis Who have Sir.

T hose who plead for nature’s way in handling and f.eeding th e dairy cow frequently ru n directly counter to the best practice of advanced dairym en, says E . P . S m ith, in Am erican C ulti vator. T he reason for this is quite obvious if w e stop to consider w hat th e dairy cow is to-day. W e cannot consider h er a natural product any m ore th an we can classify th e hot- hons^a plants w ith tb e w ild grow ths ot th e fields aud woods from which they originally sprang. They are purely artificial products ot the m odern m ethod 4 t develOfiin.c; certain organ ism s for.com tnercial parposes. The ideal dairy cow is th a s a m achine, highly de.veloped for th e sole purpose ot giving' great quantities of rich m ilk. N o othei; consideration is technically given'to h er except in so far as it affects this one purpose. W e tre at h er w ell and trv to conserve h er strength and health, not from hum anitarian reasons, bu t because it is necessary th a t her health shall be good in order th a t she can give the greatest amontiliwf m ilk. T hat seems a cold-blooded’way to state the fact, b n t it is nevertheless true, and it is also tru e th a t m any have an^ afTeotion for th e ir line dairy cows. B ut the trutii'ulness ot the statem ent th a t the cow is an artificial m ilking m achine is no t lessened one jo t by this. V iew ed th u s as a m ilking m achine the dairy cow m ust be studied and treated as such. I t we can find m ethods of improvin.g upon nature’s way it is to our interest to do so, and it is foolish to reason th a t nature is always rig h t, and th a t we cannot be far w rong if we follow her. N ature, from th e point of view of m an’s mod ern needs, is very often im pertective and defective, and we constantly have to go ju st counter to h er in order to achieve w hat we desire. T he dairy cows being artificial products, th e calves m ust be taken aw ay from them a t an early age and train ed to m ake th e sam e sort of m a chine. T be cow would bring up her calf in th e old lyay, and by the tim e th a t th e anim al reached m aturity she w ould lose m any of th e points so valuable to-day in tho dairy cow. W e feed th e calf on good food so th a t she w ill develop rapidly and intensify the qualities th a t h er m other is noted for. T he effort is constantly m ade to m ake th e calf do b etter th a n her m other, an d to accom plish th is we reso rt to all sorts of artificial m ethods of feed ing an d keeping. T he p resent system of feeding «od breeding is th e result o f y ea rso f eip eiim en t and test, and as we go ahead we m ake new disoov- eriss and im provem ents.

GOOD BOADS NOm W hai It Coat# to H svl Frodac«. •‘T he condition of roads in the U nited States, taken as a whole, can m ost clearly be show n in figures. If we can m ake inqairies of a hundred farm ers, in as m any localities, as to how long it takes them to haul a load of crops to tow n, how far he hauls it, and w hat his tim e and th a t of h is team are w orth, w e oau readily ascertain w hat it costs on an average to m arket a load of crops,” says O tto D orner, C hairm an of th e H ighw ay Im prove m ent €k)mmi((ed of th e L eagae of A m erican W heelm en. “ If th e num ber of theee inquiries be sufficiently increased, and extended over th e entire oounti^, th e result will p retty nearly show w hat it costs on an average in th e w hole U nited S tates to haul a load of crops to mar- ket. ^ If w ith each inquiry we also as* certaiu th e w eight of the load, we can figure ou t how m uch it costs p er 10 0 pounds, or p er ton,to m arket all these crops, aud if th e inquiry also include th e num ber of m iles com prising each haul, we can easily figure th e cost of hauling these crops p er ton p er mile. T his gives a u n it w hich can be com pared w ith th e sam e u n it, sim ilarly obtained, by sim ilar inquiries m ade in o& er eonnties. “ A n inquiry of this kind was m ade in N ovem ber, 1895, by th e U nited S tates D epartm ent of A griculture, through its office of road inquiry. Ten thousand circulars w ere sent out to farm ers in all parts of th e U nited States asking for inform ation in these varions particulars. B eplies w ere re ceived from over 1,200 Counties dis tributed throughout th e U nited Stated, and the results w ere carefully com piled. T he w eight of loads hauled varied betw een an average of 2,409 pounds in th e prairie States and an average o t 1,397 pounds in th e cotton States, th e average w eight of farm leads for the w hole country being 2 ,0 0 2 pounds, or practically a ton. The average length of haul was found to be 1 2 1 - 1 0 m iles, varying be tw een 5 9-10 m iles in the E astern States and 23 3-10 m iles in the Pacific and m ountain S tates. The average cost of m arketing a ton of crops in th e U nited Statas was found to be $3.02.■ I t was as high as $3.12 iu th e Pacific Coast and m ountain States, due to long hauls, and as low as $1.87 in th e N orthern and E astern States, w hich are m ore densely settled, and w here railroads are num erous and hauls are shorter. T he average cost of hauling a ton a distance of one m ile w as 25 cents, it being 22 cents in th e prairie aud Pacific C oast and m ountain States, and rising as high as 32 cents in th e E astern States. “ T he n et grand resu lt of all these inquiries and com putations showed very clearly, and as nearly as hum an intelligence can, th a t it cost th e farm ers of th e U nited S tates, on th e aver age, in tim e, labor and energy, figur ing th e value of team s, w agons aud m en a t w hat they can reasonably be hired for, tw enty-five eents every tim e a ton of th eir crops w as hauled a m ils nearer to m arket, or briefly, th a t it costs tw enty-five cents p er ton p er m ile to m ove crops in th e U nited S tates.” _________ Enforo.
