J The tnod- of '90,5 'M and other yaara up to is close of the laat century are all re; I have not recognised any of it date. One difference between arlotte and 'Waahlngton 1 that in i.i-iote . nobody rides a . bike. In isiiinitton tha street are full of cy iV ma la an - female, young and Bicycle aharpa still do a thriving snfM. , You will aee wheels stand r about everywhere In front Of pri 1 is dwellings, stores, restaurants, i r-rooma and In the lobbies of tnea t res. But you will not aee any female f rciita in bloomers nor any male '. ;--ts In knee ; pants and ! gorgeoue !. dibs and sweaters. Likewise, that 1 freak of the last century known the sdhorcher"- has disappeared, jwever, the goggle-eyed automobll- s is almost as ugly and. when unre i a!ed, la quite as dangerous. Although, at first alght.' there seem i be almost as many negroes tn Wash -ton a white, the white cyclists ; i e fuly fifty times as numerous js : black. It must be because! moat . f the darkles have r nothing to do. ! ! !e moat of the whit people are ; ut-v. The- cyclists do not ride aimless about the streets; they jura all go- sr somewhere. They keep wheels for rune, not for pleasure. If they r-t them fort i pleasure only, every t key in the place would have one; r it is for pleaaure only that the , n-key i in i Washington speaking nerallyi Here, as in Charlotte,' he apparently solved the "problem of I, ving quits Satisfactorily on nothing hi year. However, It Is not so easy as t uied to be.

If Theodora Roosevelt is elec- 1. A friend of mine who has been itis in the government service told me ! other day that "pull" still counted s ir much. It seefna that- nowadays tu' nesro haa the advantage of pull." However, it would be unjust to say '.at the negro In Washington ta al ways an idler except . when employed a clerk for Uncle Sam. On the con 'raiT, he does a good deal of work. 1 or one thing, he keeps the city clean, ii'imer than any city In the world, t reckon. It -occupies an area larger hi projMirtlont' to .

Loulsburf Oct. 2. Mr. J. A Muagwve, ( Weldon, reached here yesterday to recover tola stolen horse. He hired the hore orr October (th to on Mabry, a wbitevman about 22 year old, tor two days, who brought the animal to this county and sold him to David Yarbrt for $). Yarbro brought him to Loulsburg and! sold him to Lancaster Bros, Chief of Police High, having been notified to be on the lookout for the horse and thief, soon located the horse, but the thief has skipped to part unknown. Great disappointment was met yes terday in M. IS. Church circles, because of the tact that so few delegates to the ilstrlct conference arrived.' Out or a total of twenty-five expected, only six delegates atrtved. Preparations had been made Por their entertain-ment and (hey would oave received a cordial Wel come at the hands of Loulsburg hosts. A reception was tendered the visitors at the Methodist parsonage last even ing, which was largely attended, the parsonage being handsomely decorated, the entire lower floor being given ovei to the visitors. Refreshment consist ing of several courses were served and a delightful evening was spent. Kit) Dunstan, a well known old col ored man, has been adjudged insane by a board of examining physicians, and jppik-atkm ha been made to place htan In the Qoldsboro asylum. The trustees of the mule academy Slave decided to enclose the grove sur rounding It with a hundsome fence. This campus comprises about 12 acre: and is a beautiful one. li has been sadly neglected heretofore, but improve ment will soon ooiiimeiH.i! .and It hat been decided to have a celebration oi ntxt arbor day there, planting treat, and In other wars, make it more at tractive, Th court house Is news-less these days, nearly all the officials being ab sent on a campaign of the county. At ill of the appointments so far, the can didates have met with-good crowds, and the people who have been so apathetic ire being aroused to the necessity or going to the polls on election day and voting. The representation In- the fut ure conventions is based on .the slae ol ;he vote cast at this election; Deep regret Is expressed here at the armouncemrtl In yfeterday'S Observe! ;hat Mr. Cleveland would not address the Cooper Union gathering in New Tork. His admirers here feel that tht "old mau," when he does speak, nevei Calls to say something. Utuisburg can boast of more char acters to its sloe than any place In North Carolina. One of thevleaders In the street cleaning department can bi seen each morning with his cart and inula removing the refuse from the streets. One morning since u dude from the country, smoking-a cheap cigar and with a bpttle of boose pro truding from his pocket, -accosted 'Buckeye,, thus: "8o you are cleaning streets are you?" "Yes," replied he, iTou never cleaned any did you?" "NoV said the sport. "Do you smoke?" said 'Buck, "yes," "Do you drink?" "Oh, yes," "Well, you just stick to them itnd you will be on the streets too." That's what brought me to It." The sport had no -more to aay. Mr. J. A Thomas left last alght for ; Raleigh. Among the visitors Do the' missionary conference-are Mrs. R. H. ' Whitaker. of Raleigh; State Secretary I and Mrs. Pressley Person, of Frank-! Union.
