WILLIAM H. BERNARD.
WILMINGTON. N. C
Tuesday Morning, Oct. 24.
MISS
BOQSEVELT'S
ENTS.
PRES-
, The press of the entire country
Is discussing the predicament oyer
the presents which were made to
Miss Alice; Roosevelt by foreign
rulers and others while she was
abroad this Summer. .The New
- York Times makes this interest
. :ing and suggestive reference to
the matter;
''If the Congress were to pass a
snecial bill relieving from pay
ment of import duties the gifts
-. received by the daughter of the
President during her recent trip,
we do not Believe that there would
be a score, of Americans who
woulcL object. But there are dif
ficulties in the way of "this dispo
. sition of the matter. One is that
r ' such a bill in its progress through
, ' the two houses, while jtts essential
purposes would be accepted as
' good, would probably"Sna i&t un
reasonably .arouse a debatfe as to
the extremely foolish law under
which duties are required in such
cases. - That is an experience that
" the friends and beneficiaries of
the tariff wish at all costs to avoid
if it be possible. ; Adthis in
stance it is obvious that the incon
venience and absurdity of fining
ithe President for courtesies shown
v fo his daughter, not on her or his
personal account, but wholly, on
. account ox ms omciai position,
are only the natural consequence
of the excessive animosity toward
- foreign goods which lies at the
bottom of the tariff laws. Another
difficulty is in the fact that Mr,
Roosevelt, with characteristic d?
" rectness. has declared that he
. . would payjthe duties asany other
citizen would, and he might be
embarrassed by having submitted
for his signature a measure of
this sort. Meanwhile the ridicu
lous aspect of the matter may turn
- attention to the rear causs of it.
' We hope that it will.'"
-It is said that Miss Roosevelt's
presents are valued at $100,000
and that the tariff duty on them
; is $25jOpO. Of course the country
would not Jjke to have President
Roosevelt pay the duty but there
is no other way out of it. He
would not permit an exception in
his .case, but the incident will
serve to show the balance of us
how much we pay in tariff duties,
. not so much on foreign gopds that
- we may use but on the increased
price which the tariff enables
manufacturers, to tack on in order
to'get the benefit of the protection
whieh is levied on the people, in
, rtheir interest by the President's
party. '
' THE PRESIDENT AND SOCIAL
; EQUALITY.
j- - Says our esteemed contempor
ary the Charlotte Chronicle:
"In his talk with Clarence 11.
Poe, at Raleigh, President Roose
. velt declared himself keenly , in
terested in Southern affairs, and
anxious to hold up the hands of
" broad men like ex-Governor Ay
cock and Bishop Strange. 'I wish
to . follow your conservative and
liberal Southern leaders - not, try
to impress views of my own,' said
, the President. On the question of
- social equality and intermarriage
he is quoted as saying that he had
never known a white man, North
or South, since reconstruction
' who Relieved in that sort- of
thing."
Still the President must remem-
' ber that no Northern State has a
law against inter-marriage of the
, "races. This shows that the idea
'.. is not so repugnant to the masses
that they are not willing for mis
cegenationists to marry to suit
j themselves. It als plainly means
"that States which have no laws
V against this monstrous crime tol
'erateit. V i
Politically, President Roosevelt
; thought the negro Crum was good
, enough to force on the prQud City
of Charleston as collector of cus
toms and against other protests

United States " army' engineers
have reported that - for an outlay of
from $8,000,000 to $10,000,000, a four
teen-foot waterway can be "provided
from Chicago to St -Louis. This is
not a large sum to spend on connecting
tow such systems of navigation as
those of the Mississippi and the great
lakes. It may be practicable, to go by
fresh water from Montreal to New Or
leans yet Montreal Gaaette.
In Paris, where the French trans
lation of the late Oscar Wilde's Te
Profundis" has found an extensive
sale, it is thought to be not unlikely
that things will happen over the ver
nacular version. The sale profits of
the version, it is stated, amount so
far. to between 800 and . 900. This
sum is claimed by hi official Receiver

New York, Oct 23. The cotton
market was active and showed con:
siderable excitement with prices at
one time about 30 points net higher on
cevering of shorts and an expanding
demand through wire and commission
houses on frost reports. The close
was only a few points off-under real.
Izlng and steady at a net advance of
20 to 23 points. Sales were estimated
at about half million bales. The mar
ket opened strong at an advance of
13 to 21 points in response to the re
ports of heavy frosts pretty generally
in the northern belt and .much higher
Liverpool cables than due On the New
York dose of last week. There was
heavy realizing at the advance, but
there was also an active and exci te
ed. : demand and after easing off
or 8. points -the market firmed up
again on the private reports of firmer
interior holders and damage from low
temperatures, and reached, the high
point of the session and so far for the
upward movement, in the early after
noon when Janaury eotton sold , at
10.47 as compared with 9.62, the low
est level of last week. Toward the
close realizing became heavier and
prices again , sagged offr but there
seemed to be good support at the de
cline and the market closed within
to S points of the top. Southern spot
markets-" were unchanged to 3-16c
higher. Estimates for tomorrow's re
ceipts were liberal, but attracted little
the - increased
popularity of reduced crop estimates.
Receipts at the ports today ' were
46,815 bales against 54,080 last week

The Keeley Institute, Greensboro,
For ten years I was in bondage to
the demon, strong drink. I could not
go where it was and leave,, a sober
nfan. I" would resolve not to taste it
but these resolutions, with hundreds-
of promises . to my dear wife, were
broken. The ,last five years that I
drank, it had such a hold npon me I
could not resist the burning desire,
and, when I had taken one drink, I
would have gotten drunk even-if I had
known it would be the death of me;
nothing could prevent It. The tears
of my old mother, the entreaties of
my wife and children were as naught
compared with the ever burning thirst
for whiskey., v Love of wife, children,
home, relatives,' reputation honor and
the hope of Heaven itself, all tied be
fore this, the greatest of human de
stroyers. Yea, nothing could stop me
In my mad career of. debauchery,' for
often in my soberest moments would
I resolve - never again to touch the
damnable1 stuff, and in my misery.
would I pray for strength which would
enable me to resist the hell-born, hell-
supported power of the demon Alco
hol. But my disease was too deeply
seated. I could not of my own power
cure myself, and each . day I grew
worse.
My wife, children, mother and friends
alike had no hope Gf-my redemption;
and with many misgivings, carried me
to" your Institute in Greensboro. In
March, 1903, I came to you a poor
besottet drunkard, and in one month.
was discharged and returned home.
a sober man, bringing sunshine and
gladriess to those who loved me, cured
of my awful malady, and my life shall
ever be a Tnonnment of sobriety to the 1
Keeley; Treatment ... !
I wonld sav to alfrwho are in bond
age to strong drink, whose lives are
being, destroyed, to go to Keeley, and
if yoij. would be saved, listen not to
liquor dealers, and bar room loafers
when they tell you it will do you no
good; for they are the agents of the
devil; and their statements are as
false as hell itself. I speak from ex
perience when I tell you the treatment
cured me. It can cure you. It saved
me from a drunkard's grave and hell;
and It will save you If you desire to
be saved and will only give it a chance.
