President Roosevelt has succeeded in keeping back the liristow report on tho postal fraud? until after the elec tions, but thc voters will remember it next fall. Kx-Presideut Cleveland has written a letter to the editor of The Brooklyn (N. Y.) Eagle, in which he states that he will not again be a candidate ior the presidency. It seems that the army boys will not rest contented until they get tho canteen again in the army. Thc fight for its restoration will be a lively one during the next congress. Wc have received a circular letter from Lathen), Alexander & Co., cot ton brokers of New York, in which jihey estimate tho present crop at 10, 300,000 bales. If their estimate should provo true, tho supply will bo near two millions short of tho de mand. The report comes from England that cotton growing experiments in tho British colonies have boen very suc cessful. Strenuous effort? arc being made to encourago production in order to relieve British manufacturers from entiro dependence upon tho United States. This country has become the world's ?>ase of supplies. Besides exporting millions of bushels of corn and wheat, and millions of pounds of wool and cotton to feed and olothe those in less favored landa, the United States ex ported $21,000,000 worth of farming implements last year. A meeting of cotton manufacturers of the South hss been called to assom ble in Charlotte, N. C., next Tuesday, 8th inst, to formulate a plan for the curtailment of ootton production. The call was iBBued by the oommittoo of North Carolina manufacturers and ali mill men aro interested. M ? in Bural free delivery is greatly appre ciated in thousands of country homes. While in some oases arrangements need modification, yet on the wholo this is a great stride in the advance ment in civilized country life. Its influence cannot fail of leaving its mark as time goes on among the peoplo thus privileged. A Georgia exohange very appro priately and wisely says: "Local in dustries are the best paying of all in vestments. The money invested is kept at home, the dividends are paid at home, the working people are paid and spend their money st home, con sequently home industries psy both jpoming and going." -? ?w ? ?*.. Capt. A. T. Wimberly, Colleptor of Customs at N. ow Orleans, hss declined to take ihe tr.sk of reorganizing tho Republican party in Louisiana, and in an open letter Bootee President looser volt for disrupting it by his oourao to jyard the negro, whioh, ho points out, has driven leading Republicans over to the Demooratio party. A prominent furniture manufactu rer of High Point, N. C., has rofused to sell equipment to two South Caro linians for a billiard and pool parlor. The manufacturer says that God does not smile on such institutions and that he will not do anything whioh his coo science would not approve. This min would bo ff?fife fleauflog as ? curiosity by the carnival company. General M. C. Butler bas a letter in a Washington paper, in wbioh he expresses dissatisfaction with the at titude of this oountry in respect to the secession of Panama Hi? judg ment is that "if congress has the courage to investigate this Panama business it will unearth a oesspoc' of corruption, discreditable intrigue and bad faith without a parallel in our history." The immigration movement in this State is attraotiog considerable atten tion, especially among tho men who make it a business to wark up the bnsinesn for various States. Several propositions have been made to aot as agent for this State by induoing im migrants to settle within it. Recent ly Governor Hey ward reeeived the fol lowing from New York : "Of one mil lion immigrants who arrived in this ?QuDtry during thc past year not one nettled in your State. I am given to understand that your State has no im migration agent. I would bs pleased to show you how your State can re ceive a just proportion of good immi gration, and receive ;. the appoint ment as resident immigration agent in New York." The writer. Franois G. Hatfield, gives reference as to his reli ability. This is bat a sample of the \ letters reoeived, and if the legislature \ establishes a bureau of immigration there will be no trouble in securing ?to come to this State. Cleveland's Mind ls Fully Made up. New York, Nov. 27.-Grover Cleve land has neut the following letter to the editor of the Brooklyn Magie: Princeton, N. J., Nov. '?~>, 1903. My Dear Mr. McKelway: 1 have wauted for a long time to .say .some thing which I think .should he said to you before others. You eau never know how grateful I am for thc manifestation of kindly feeling toward me on ?.we part of my countrymen which your initiative han brought out. Your udvocacy in The Magie of my nomination for the presi dency came to me as a great surprise, atid it lias been seconded in such man ner liy Democratic sentiment that con flicting thoughts of gratitude aud duty have caused me lo hesitate as to the time and maun'', of a declaration on my part concerning the subject-if such a declaration should seem neces sary or proper. lu the midst of it ai! and in full view of every conK?-'erut-.ou presented 1 have not for a moment beatable nor am I now able, to open my mind to tho thought that in any "'rounistanccs or upon any consideration 1 should ever again become tho nominee of my par ty for the presidency. My determination not to do so is unalterable and conclusive. Tin? you at least ought to know from me, and 1 should be glad if Thc Eagle were made the medium of its conveyance to the public. Very sincerely yours, Grover Cleveland. St. Clair McKelway, LL.!)., Brook lyn, N. Y. Thc Brooklyn Kaglc, to tho editor of which Mr. Cleveland's letter was addressed, announced today that thc support ho had given Mr. Cleveland for the Democratic presidential nomi nation would now bo given to Alton B. Parker, at present chief justice of the court of appeals of this ?State. African King Likes Fork. Philadelphia, Nov. 26.-After hav ing visited one of the most isolated ports of Western Africa, the Old Cal abar ooast, on ? trading voyage, the British sohooner Mary Hendry arriv ed ac Philadelphia last night without s mishap. The natives of that sec tion are deolsrod for the mont part to be cannibals of '.ho most ferocious type. On the way baok, being in bal last, she stopped at San Andreas To land, Carribbean Sea, where a hold fall of ooooannts was taken on board on ac count of Philsdel^: nia merchants. On the outward ran artioles were sent out that would please tho natives, whose only artiole of export ts palm oil. While discharging ?ha cargo tho king of the Niger settlement visited tho sohooner, where he v?s entertain ed by Captain Foote, lie WBB given tho best dinner the rasas! could afford, but indulged in not'.iog but pork, and after his meal tue king inquired whether it was white or black man meat, as ho was accustomed to the latter. Being told that ib was neither tho old king, whose faoe was as black as coal and Lis nose as flat as a pan cake, was greatly surprised. Many presents were given by the blaok ruler to Captain Foots, ?mong them being Boverol queer musical in struments made from tho bark of wild trees, and peculiar coins, the only medium of exchange in the country. Hundreds of good-looking colored dam sels caused the crew to leave the plaoe with great reluctance. Oar Dead Coming Home. One hundred and forty-two dead United States soldiers arrived at New York by the transport Sumner last Saturday. They oame from tie Phil ippines, where they died in the Bor vioe of the country. A squad of sol diers was sent to the transport to act SS a guard of honor to tho dead as the bodies were unloaded, and "?hipped by express companies t0 points all over toe oountry, where friends or relative? aje ???i'.iog to gi va them bu rial/' Nothing can bc spoken of the der.d but praise-they proved their deyn. tics to thc country with their lives and there could bc no greater sacri fice than that. But what about the oountry and tho agencies which govern it that would oompel suoh sacrifico in aid of au enterprise whioh William McKinley characterized as "criminal aggression," and the oonduotof whioh no brave or just man could approve? News and Conner. Au l'p-to?Date Snake Story. l'ickens, Nov. 20.-A few days ago a good housewife io the I'ortner sec tion of Upper l'ickens observed that her clock had for some unknown reason stopped. AH no well regulated house hold can hope to run smoothly on schedule time without a time piece, t?c lady of the house decided that since time was being irrevocably lost because her clock had stopped, meas ures Bhould at once be taken to re cover the broken thread of time. She accordingly went to the clock and gently set thc pendulum in motion, but siie observed that it made only about a half vibration, refusing to measure time with its accustomed "tick-tock," but ;ifter a few brief vi brations was immovably still. After a few fruitless eiForts she concluded to wait until her husband came in and lay before him one domestic trouble that had unexpectedly arisen during his absence. Upon his arrival she re lated tho curious capers of their usu ally faithful time piece and he at once, like all self-reliant, self confi dent men, realizing that notwithstand ing all the excellent traits of his good wife-he know she was not a horn mc ohanic. Ile, too, began the gentle, coaxing method on the. reluctant time piece, but mot with no moro success than the faithful wife a short time be fore. Stringent measures must bo im mediately adopted-after a few mo mento' refleciion he deoided that the clock iiust coiue down, aud, if needs bc, submit to a scrutinous examina tion of every clog ?nd every wheel. "Tho ?io ls cast" and down comes the clock The mystery is Bolvcd-snug ly eniconced in the bottom of tho clock, directly beneath the pendulum, lay ooiled up a medium sized black snake. The pendulum is again set in motiou and at each semi-vibration comes iu contact with the snake's head causing his snakesbip to venomously thrust out his fangs at every vibration. The intruder was ejected, tho dook begins to run and the world moves on. Notice. ALL persona are hereby warned not to bunt or trespass tn any way on lands owned by me In Brnaby Greek TODD chip.
