General Marcus J. Wright, of the <
W ar Department, while in tho office i
of a well known tfholesnlo merchant,
of Memphis, Tenn., iu tho presence
of a number of business men, while
Prosident Roosevelt vres in Memphis
one day last week, made tho startling
statement that the report that
Booker T. Washington dined with
the President and family was false,
that it was only a light lunch in the
President's private office while mattors
bearing on the race question was
Kni r> cr rllc^iiQcorl rPliifl nll'nrh nn 1 ho
part of God. Wright to deny tho fact
that Booker T. Washington, tho negro,
did dine with the President's
family is knocked into a cocked hut
by the Philadelphia North American,
which paper says:
"Tho President did invite Booker
T. Washington to dine with him at
the Whito House and the l itter accepted
with alacrity. Tha dinner
took placo on the evening of October
17 of last year. Mr. Roosevelt has
never attempted to deny tho matter
ijor to explain it.
"He regarded Washington as tho
loading colored man of tho country,
and he invited him to dinner, just as
lie has invited scores of writers and
thinkers who liavo not .attained
Washington's prominence."
It is rather a late day for General
"Wright to spring this gag, and he
will find it an uphill matter getting
people to believe his assertions.
The clerks in tho cdfice of tho Secretary
of State have just completed
the tabulation of the charters and
commissions issued to cotton mill
enterprises for the eleven months of
l!)i>2 to date. They show a total of
eighteen new mills, with total capitalization
of $8,SSu,0'Ht. Twelve of
th.Gse have raised their capital, completed
their organizations and got
their charters.
e The other six, with $ 1,827,0'I capital
stock, have been commissioned,
but have not yet been chartered.
One of them, the million-dollar Marlboro
company, will be chartered before

"In winter time we sigh because
We have to shovel snow,
And long for spring, when flowers
bloom
And pleasant breezes blow."
Now do not let us sigh too soon for
it is not winter "hardly."
If I was a duck I would not mind
this rainy weather, it is to a duck's
liking. liy the way, I believe a man
ought to be ashamed to call a girl a
"little" duck.
I can write right along and very
fast in the dark, but gentlemo", you
ought to see me mussing up tnv ha:r,
pulling at it, trying to read it next
morning. I have hud to throw some
notes in the "waste basket" because
of that.a
A few mornings ago I churned for
mother and lightened her morning's
work?I am so much stronger than
she. Are any of you fellows too big
to churn? I have done it often, and
do not feel a bit smaller. I like to
help if other work is not pressing too
naru.
Several days ago we were treated
to a short visit from Dr. and Mrs. JO.
C. Jeter, of Fairfield, This is the
birthplace of Dr. Jeter, who married
in Fairfield about- a year ago, and
this being the first time he had
brought his wife to visit the family
of his mother, therefore it goes without
question that all were very, very
glad to see them, but in this busy
world business causes short visits
and "few and far between," even
with direct members of a family.
This bad rainy weather has caught,
a rood many sweet potatoes in the
ground, and some fear the sudden
coM may have injured them. Dot
my father never would dig until fro-?t
killed the vines, and he was co"si1- :
ored good at keeping them. Thai, I
one^big frost has not hurt them I j
Dr. J. T. Jeter showed me some po- j
tato vines that tried to "over do the '
thing." They had a potato forming |
on every joint of the vine above the j
ground, from the size of a percussion i
cap to a blue jay's egg. If they had
been covered up, the season long
enough, they certainly would have
bursted their bounds.
I am thinking of those pomgranales
that Mr. Sims has, and now that I
know they stiil exist and ho said that
I cai; get some. I think I will try and
get some plants to set out and thank
him in advance. I am fond of good
fruit and this is one of my favorites.
On a cool rainy day like yesterday
one could enjoy them. We used to.
Dev. Mr. Merritt said, in a sermon
recently at the Methodist church, or
while reading the scripture, "make
no friendship witn a contentious
man." Comment: No doubt the
most undesirublo "friend" a man
couid have, if ever such thero could
Ijo, would be an abnormally sensitive
contentious man, and jou would have
to play shut mouth, when you dared
to look the devil in the face und say
it was the devil, because you would
bo afraid that man would think you
were calling him that. On that, I
bolievo Mr. Merritt's advice is right.
The good weather of the fail is
broken, und it now seems that we are
to have much bad or wet weather.
But much as thero lias been a lot of
t'-<lk about the line weather for gathering
crops, this fall has not been
near as good for gathering crops as
the fall of 19*>1, as there are records
to show. It has been bettor for good
plowing and developing of small
grain growth. Wo had no extremes
of cold until of late, but the mean
temperature has been below normal,
especially for the month of October.
Wo had t he first big killing frost on
Friday, tiS, ground frozen and ice,
tho temperature falling to 2f?degrees.
It wus verily, ft cold wave, an I all
succumbing vegetation wis bifii u o: j
frozen. Ibis wus the l.;USt c.uiiug '
i
if the first general killing frost of a
tun year average. '1 h?* soft, spongy
bnlls of the much heard of "top-eron"
?f second-growth cotton, was frozen
under, so to speak, and the twaddle
ibout it will now bo hushed, ?? there
is nothing to fall back on. Why it
was out of season, and the l'f.t and ;
iced could not mature Ruyway. J>;d 1

Nearly everybody took Thanksgiving
day, stopped work at least, wheth-1
er It was to give thanks or not- Spine
b<? "froltcs" or dances, one thing cr
another, instead of "pralao" or
"prayer and thanksgiving" as tho
clay is get apart for, legally, hv National
and all sovereign governments
of tho Union. I do not supposo that
luting' kuuM^uii 01 prayer or giving
thanks, unless it was to the governments
of man for instituting this tiny,
in which they felt freer to quit work
and indulge ir?, dances, frolics, drinking
and perhaps "riotous living,"
things unj.leasitig to their Creator,
rather than ever linking of giving
thanks to Him, or helping for good.
It is better to work and give thanks
than to do that and do uo work.

There are rumors that a movement is I
being put on foot for the building of a
knitting mill at Carlisle. I will not give
names of the party or parties yet. until it
gets a little t'.rmer footing as I may be
hearing wrongly, but I have seen s< due

my "suspicions" that, there any i>>

there is to baiinv more buiMimr* of mil h

It was first rumored that she received a
severe beating over the head h cause she
joined tin; chinch and quit a piraraour,
moving away from him, but later it
seenH a little "plastering" was ruhbud
on this, and I hear they have taken her
to the asylum. There was much "jolting"
up with her and "tender'' nursing
by her men friends, I have picked up,
but that did not cure her < f the "temporary
inranity" and she had to go and
leave her "poor" little children behind
with "loving" friends, and oh, it is a
wonder that hearts are not "broken."

What Theodore Roosevelt Says.
An article on "The Presidency." by
Theodore Roosevelt, published in the
November Oth issuo ot' The Youth's
Companion, was of great public interest.
When the article was written Mr. Roosevelt
ha I i-ot even been nominated for
the Vice-Presidency.
Nothing was then further from his!
thought thau lie would so soon exercb e1
the great powers which are entrusted to
the President of the United States.
Iu view of the circumstances the article
possesses an importance more than
culinary, and it was eagerly lookwl for.
