COOK UNCERTAIN ABOUT REACHING POLE In Article to Hampton's Maira/ine Will Make a Full Confession About His Trip. New York, Nov. 30.?"Did 1 gel to the North Polo? Perhaps I made a mistake In thinking that I did. Per haps I did not make a mistake. After mature thought. 1 confess that I do not know absolutely whether I reach ed the 1'ole or not. This may come as an amazing statement, hut 1 am willing to startle the world, if by so doing. 1 can get an opportunity to present my ease. By my case l mean not my case as a geographical dis coverer, but my ease as a man. Much as the attainment of the .North Pole onc? meant to me. the sympathy and confidence of my fellow men mean more." In this way Dr. Frederick \. Cook, the Brooklyn explorer, in an article, which will he published in Hampton's Magazine, confesses that he does not know whether he reached the North Pole or not. The publishers of the article issued it statement say ing that nowhere in his narrative does Dr. Cook ?ither cast any reflec tion on Peary or question Peary's claims. Dr. Cook, who has been in hiding for over a year, has Informed the editors of the magazine publish ing the story that he will return to the United StatCO with his wile and children December L'l!. In order to spend Christmas 'w ie. Continuing, Dr. Cook says: "Ftiilv. freolv snd frankly I shall tell you everything. Tell you every thing and leave the decish n with you if. after reading my story, you say 'Cook is sincere and hon< st. halt crazed by months of isolation and hunger, he believed he readied the Pole, he is not a fakir:' then I shall he satisfied.'1 Dr. Cook tells :!,< story of his life Olid pictures what l.e calls the over powering ambition for exploration, until it finally culminated in his ef fort to reach the Pole. Dr. Cook de clares that, at the time he convinced himself that he discovered the Pole he wns half mad lie spent two years in his quest and during tint time en dured hunger and privation that, he says would unbalance any mind. Dr. Cook say- that it would he im possible for any man to demonstrate' beyond question thai he had been to the North Pole. :;< characterizes the region as a region of insanity, where one cannot heliev? the evldcijce .gath ered before one's eyes. "I have boon called the greatest liar in the world, t.'te most monu mental Impostor in history." says Dr. Cook. "1 believe in every unde sirable way 1 stand unique, the object of studi suspicion and vituperation as have assailed few men." With this realization, Dr. Cook wrote his story and says that to him the honor of discovering the North Pole no longer means anything. The explorer has been working on his story since last August, and says. ae. cording to the editor of Hampton's Magazine, "that his sole desire Is to make the people, of the United States realize Jost what he went through during in;-, iwo and a half years in the Arctic fastness, and to make them see what processes of thinking or lack of thinking it wns that led him to do the thine, which confirmed lo the average mind the Worst suspic ions against him.'' Dr. Cook- then tells the story of the days in Copenhagen and later in New York, ami of the crisis in his Ufo Iba! led to his flight from New York and his voluntary exile from the Culled States. Dr. Cook and hi-; Wife are now in Rlirope ami Ilm Children are now in a convent in Franco. M?sl of the time during his exile Dr. Cook has been in London. Unclaimed l/Hfcr* Advertised. 0. f.

CHANGE IN CONDITION | Two years have passed since the dispensary closed. What a change! The law is being enforced and the good results art beyond the expecta tion of the most sanguine. The last year the dispensary was open here it sold, in round numbers, $138,000 Worth of liquor. Now we venture that, with all the alleged blind tigers and shipments by express or other wise, the amount of stuff used is not one-fifth, more probably not one-tenth that amount. We judge by what wo see?the absence of drunken men on the streets?tho change on the high ways adjacent to this town, at night, where, in dispensary times, pnndimo nlutn reigned. And, then behold the police court! There, on each return ing morn, especially on Monday morn ing', the Mayor dealt out "doses" to tho unfortunates, and for the protec tion of that society that had furnish ed the liquor,laid on the heavy band of the law. Now, even on .Mondays at the May-' or's court there is little doing, and that money is going for bread anil shoes. Things are w inring a bettor aspect on all sides. Hank deposits Of tho working man have greatly in creased. If the city is losing trade at all. the neighboring towns of tiray Court, Wa terloo and others get the bonolll and it is all right. "Observer." l.l.MITDD PARCELS POST, Postmaster General Hitchcock to Rec ommend One in Next Report. A limited parcels post for the rural free delivery routes will be recom mended by Postmaster General Hitch cock, in his forthcoming annual re port. In announcing this tho Post master General foresees the establish ment of a general parcels post throughout the country as BOOH as the postal savings system is thorough ly organized. As the preliminary step in the de velopment of such a service. Mr. Hitchcock will ask Congress lo au thorize the delivery on rural routes of parcels weighing as high as eloven pounds, which is the weight limit for the international parcels post. The form of service, it is maintain ed, can be conducted with little, if any. additional expense to the govern, meat. It will not rcqulro the appoint ment of more carriers, for those al ready employed have the necessary equipment in the way of horses and wagons to distribute tho parcels as well cs the ordinary mail. A rural parcels post of the kind proposed, if successfully conducted, probably would lead the department to attempt a general system. SUIT. SPREADING OCT.

As a curiosity these figures may attract you for a minute, but the most curious thing about them is that three quarters of this money is regularly sent away from the South and the South is that much poorer for it. You trade at a Southern shoe store. You give the dealer your money. You probably buy a western or northern made shoe. When the dealer pays his bill, this money, less a small per cent to the dealer, goes north or west and the South is that much poorer. Keep your money at home. Let it work for better times, better wages, more factories, more work for Southern people. Ask your dealer for The Craddock Shoe. Made in the South, by white labor, for Southern gentlemen. The best shoe value offered by any maker in the land for $3.50 and $4.00. Money spent for Craddock Shoes stays in the South, and pays Southern labor, Southern grocers, bakers and butchers. It builds Southern factories, homes and schools. We can support more and better industries. Let's each do his part. CRADDOCK-TERRY CO.
