I x WASIlIN(ITON LETTER. from nr Regular Crreipoadeat . Thf i.pwh that President Roonevelt will retain the piesVnt cabinet in tact came as something of a 49qrprise to t he cou n t ry l n genera 1. ;Pei haps no change he coal d have made would have Hur prised the public so much as this unlooked-for conserva tism. Hut it is an old story, as regards Roosevelt, that the only thing yon can really expect of him is the unexpec ted. ' It is no secret that Piatt and Hnnna weredoingconsid erable squirming for a few nays after thej realized that the man whom they b a d shelved as Vice President was really bonded for the White House. Thev did not like it. They were afraid of him and they are otill. but in a modi fied way. They realize thftt Roosevelt isgoingtodowhat hp says he will, and t h'ey have that much to build on, but whether he will do it in the way they want him to, is another thing, li'hcn he says he is going head Hist thro' a plate glass window, the win dow bad better be insured, and some of the enterprises in which these two sapient gentlemen are engaged are of the nature of a conservato ry. They are raising infant industries under glass, and that sort of thing. It would not be nice if the Rough Ri der should put his bootthro? the shelter of the shipping subsidies, lianna says he will not, but. maybe the wish is father to the thought, fit is known; that Roosevelt is very much interested In the up building of thi Merchant Ma rine, and particularly that of the Nav. He wishes to u nite tbe countries of the two Americas by commercial links. The question is wheth er he can join the two wings of his own party.so that they will flap in unison and take himwherphe wants to go. President McKinley .never exactly said any thing, in fa vor of subsidies, but then, he never spoke ngainst them. Roosevelt never was neutral in his life, He reminds one of a remark ofoneofthecbar actersof Tourgee's ouce fa mous novels, "A Fool's Er rand." "Old men generally get the credit for all the con servntism in the world, but it is a mistake. A young man backs just as hard as he pulls. If be is opposed to a thing, he Oghts it tooth and nail." Roosvelt is only ifor ty two, and that is the sort of a conservative he will be when he is one at all. The very exuberance of the utterances of various repub lican Senotors as to the con Qdencethey have in Roose velt, since his decision to re tain the members of tbe pres ent Cabinet, is a little suspi cious. It indicates that they have been scared and are now reassured. Another thing which should not be overlooked is that Roosevelt's principal friends and supporters have not yet come on the scene. It is cer tainty though t that when Sen ator Lodge comes back from EnroijeXjverejniay be some chungVw in The existing "situa Therejs oo doubt that Mr. Roosevelt Will 'be strenuous in some directions. It Is said that be will lavor not onl a large navy, hut a standing army of a strength equal ,to that provided under tbe reor ganizatiou act of last winter. Whether the army cm been larged indefinitely without in terfering with the welfare of tbe people as a whole is one of the questions not yet set tled. We are not ready for any such ideals of military seryice as those which prevail iu Europe, and it is doubtful if we want to be. Another place in which there is likely to be some shaking up is the secret service men. President Roose vel t has been collecting testimony about the perform anes ot the secret service men at Buffalo, and it is sta ted that be regards the m with contempt, us a lot of in com pi tents, and will make some radical changes in that branch of the government very soon. In this connec tion there is a little story a bout JosiahFlynt, the tramp detective, which is interest ing. Flynt, as many people know, is a college-bred man who has been knocking about in the disguise of a hobo for the last ten or fifteen years, gatheringinformation about tramp and criminal classes, and is probably the best au thority in the country on this subject. He published an article some time ago that was a terrible arraignment of the New York detective force, and the New York peo ple were ,mad. Thej said they would jahow him that he could not talk that way a bout the pojice of a great city. For two days they nun ted for him. At the end of that time he strolled Into the "Front Office," talked with the chief about an irrevelant matter, and asked incidental ly, "Have they caught that man Flyn yet?" He was re galed with unvarnished opin ions of himself and strolled out again in a state of in ward amusement. They have not caught him yet. The fact is that the detective and the secret service men are not as sharp as the criminal, and until they are, until men who are resourceful, shrewd and incorruptible, make up these forces, the criminal will have about as good a time as be dops now. It was stated by some cor respondent that Roosevelt had positively said that he would not be a candidate for the Presidency in 1904. He has denied this interview point blank, but be admits that what he really said was something like this: That while he was a Vice-President THE HAGUE MCCORKLE DRY GOODS COMPANY, IMPORTERS AND WHOLESALERS GREENSBORO, N. 6. - DRY GOODS, NOTIONS AND HATS.

Anybody can ee that, but it is thought that he would not refuse to take the candidacy if it should be offered to him, and that fa as far as it is proper for him to go at this early stage of affairs. An interesting statement which President Roosevelt made on Saturday morning to Senator Pritcbard, of N. C, Representative Kluttz, of the same state and Represen tative Gibson, ot Tenn., was was this: ' I am going to be Presi dent of the United States and not of nny section. I don't care that, with a snap of his finger, for section or section al lines." He also slid something of the same sort to Senator Money, of ' Mississippi, and Hon. Livingston, of On., add ing that be was hnlf South ern blood and that having lived in the west be hoped he might represent all sections. CureA of Chronic Diarrhoea After 80 Yean of Suffering.

Editor Democi at: Perhaps nowhere in the country can there be found a more genial and wholesouled people than at Vulle Crucis. It may be that one secret of their great popularity is the at home feeling given to the stranger in their midst; cer tain it is that without this talismanic power, they would be less widely known. Almost every day of t b e past summer witnessed some kind of dining, riding party, or other social function; while evening entertainments, in terspersed with music, croki nole and "table rappings" were by no means infrequent. An elegant dinner at ex Sheriff D. F. Baii-d's; one at Mr.'T. H. Taylor's, one at Mr. Finley Mast's; another at "Glendoris," the home of Mr. 0. D. Taylor, are among the very latest records on tbe social calander, but do not include then? all; for prominent among those not mentioned, is the picnic at Blowing Rock. To the hap py crowd of picnicers, 15 in number, last Saturday was indeed a "red letter day," es pecially to those who had nev er gone to Blowing Rock be fore; but more especially to the one from South Alabama where mouutain scenery is unknown. Would you like to enjoy that trip for the first time? Then come with us; take a seat in the front carriage with Misses E. and L. B., N. M. and Mr. W. B.; or in t h e second with Misses B. H., L. S., D.T. and Mr. W, M.; or in any of the three buggies, one of which is occupied by Miss M. and Dr. R.; another by Misses A. R., B. B. D. and Mr. N. McG.; and another by Mrs. D. and L., neither of whom ran tell you anything at all in regard to the many points of interest along the route; but leference to little Miss D. T., a blue-eyed and golden haired lassie of thir teen summers, occupying the rear seat of the carriage just in front of ue, will elicit all de sired information. However, we've started, and away we go, through in terlacing boughs of hemlock and maple, in the early hours of morn, while tbe spi ders are yec spinning gossa mer roles for the fairies. Mer rv voices, in laughter and song, ring out on the fresh morning air; silvery cascades over rugged crags faintly echo the glad sounds; then an opening in the forest on some great height and you have "a glimpse of a height that is higher." Mountain af ter mountain changing from different shades of blue to dif ferent shader of green, until in the distance they aremerg ed into the "ether of the sky,' and you reverently lift your eyes to heaven above in si lent gratitude for the privi lege of seeing. Describe all this? Assuredlr not. To even attempt a it, were sacrilege. Reaching tbe villag, stop ping awhile at.tbe post office for a chat with Miss Addie Mast, a fair young Valle Cru cian, who assists in looking after Uucle Sam's mail; a sh n drive brings us to the famous rock, from which this favorite resort takes Its name. The gentlemen attend to the horses, and we ascend the steps of the platform, or whatever tbe plank elevation near the summit of the rock is called. Standing there in mute ad miration of the beautiful and expansive view, the light touch of a hand upon our own nronsed us trom our rev erie, and Miss L. B. gently di rects our gaze to the location of our hamlet or town in the valley between the moun tains, or to some towering peak beyond. Dr. It., from what seemed to be a very dangerous position, kindly explains the great rush of air or 'blowing,' of this phenom inal specimen of Nature's handiwork, while Miss L. S. throws bits of paper down the precipice, by way of illus tration. Dinner is served, and after its full enjoyment, Misses L. B., L. M, end L. wend their way to the crystal spring at the head of the Yadkin river, where they are joined by the other members of the partj A visit to one of the most palatial residences anywhere around, known as "Cone's Mansion," and on to "Flat Top" mountain, then Home again, by the light of the moon; Arriving just before eight o'clock Each one declaring that none ot us soon Will forget our picnic at Blow ing Rock.
