.Mr. 11. K. I .ary, Commissioner of La*
H*>r. went down to Wilmington last week
to attend the Masonic Temple Fair be
ing held there by the Masons to raise
money to help pay for the magnificent
new Masonic Temple erected in our prin
cipal city. Tin* fair will continue all
aids week and the railroads will give re
st need rat*\s of one fare, good for three
days. J , !H'aktr.g of the fair and the
Wilmington temple Mr. Lacy said:
"Masons ought to go to Wilmington
and am! that Hiram has a monument

wtis smoothly ami gracefully carried out.
There was general regret that Mr, F.
H. Buelsee eonhl net he present to deliv
er the oration. Fat when he accepted
tite date was a week earlier and ns the
building was not ready to Ik* turned
over the time was changed to a date
Mr. Unshoe could not possibly attend.
\V<> ex (voted two good speeches. ami
We would not have been disappointisl.
one from Mr. Iredell Mears, introduc
ing Mr. Huslvc and the other from
Mr, Busbee. 1 heard a great many
praise Col. Waddell’s speeeh on the
might when the fair was formally open
ed. Every Mason who is interested in
ilu* order at all. whether he is an active
member or not, should go down and
blow in a little of his wealth and inci
♦haitglly see some of the handsomest
v omen in the world and have a good
»ime. It is inspiring and invigorating
to commune with up-to-date wide-awake
progressive Masons. With only three
inort* members than we have here in
Raleigh, although they have three lodges
to our two, and they have not the
incentive for making a home for the
Brand Ledge that we hare, they Lav 3
erected perhaps the handsomest, build
ing in the State, and have so man
aged their fimmees that it will within
a tew years pay for itself.
“What is the matter with our State
I aide? Every ledge in the State should
fed an active interest in a temple in the
capital. (Jo to Wilmington to the fair,
meet the brothers there, give them
the glad hand, and show them by your
presence and hearty words that even if
you are ‘one of the has boetts,’ if you
live mostly in the past yourself, and
grieve over the good times that are gone,
you do thrill a little when you see live
men with nerve, ambition and ‘go’ in
them. All Wilmington seems to have
joined the Masons and is working with
heart and soul to help raise a few thous
and to pay off the floating debt. Hie
fair is perfectly conducted.”
People are still talking about that
report of the penitentiary which Super
intendent Day recently submitted. No
body understands it. Col. Olds quotes
an official of the Treasury Depart
ing’d as saying of it:
“On one side of this report appears a
for making an inventory of a
farm and on the other side a credit for
taking an inventory.- This none of us
can understand. Here is a statement
showing the cost of the management and
clerical labor per month before this year
and this year. It used to be $298 for
a superintendent and a clerk. Now it Is
SBO9, the latter including superinten
dent, purchasing agent, stenographer,
clerk, book-keeper and executive board.
The penitentiary this year got at least
$35,000 from last year’s products. The
expenses of running things this year as
compared with last year are as 7 to 3.” '
In the darkest hours of cotton, in
the eariy fall when Neill’s statement
or prediction- of 12,000,000 sent the
price down far below the real value.
Mrs. W. B. Hunt, of Entonton. (Jn.,
wrote a sarcastic answer to Neill which
was sent to a freiiid on the Cotton Ex
change in New York and created much
merriment. A prominent cotton man
called it to my attention yesterday and
suggested that as it “shut Neill up,” it
would lie good reading in this paper that
‘"has done so much to save the fanners
lhis year.” It reads:
Upon the crop of cotton Neill's making
for the South,
It matters nut tire rainfall; it matters
not the drought.
Strange, that this city farmer, regard
less rain or shine,
“Mules." “acres” or “guano” makes
crops that's always "tine.”
Beneath flu* Brazos lliver. went Texas
“out of sight.”
And steamboats gay wiere sailing above
tlu* cotton white.
But Mr. Neill quite calmly said, “Pshaw,
why don't you know.
Beneath the raging billows tilie cotton
best will grow?”
"And if the flood continues, that cotton
when it fruits,
M ill gathered In- by pickers, sent down
in diving suits.”
“For cotton's an aquatic, on ‘suckers’
feeds and (whales)?
I he flood will make for Texas an extra
million bales.”
But when the rest of Dixie with drought
was burning dry,
This english cotton planter, he winked
bis other eye.
And said: “All the conditions still point
to monster crop,
The drought has so helped cotton the
price must further drop.”
“For cotton needs no moisture; it thrives
on sun and heat;
Eleven millions are assured now, twelve
millions yet may beat.”
Oh! Mr. Neill, tlhis cotton (so queer the
South ne’er knew),
These phantom fleecy millions no plan
ter picked but you.”
Whene did you make such crop, pray?
Not here, but o'er tlu* seas;
Perchance your cotton’s growing round
English factories.

| War Department:
Manila. Nov. 27.—Steamer from San

nel, 800 pounds powder and other projv
eity, also 94 Spanish and seven Ameri
can prisoners. Bell, with Thirty-sixth
infantry, in pursuit and will march down
western Luzon coast. Indications are
two or three Ivodies insurgent troops
numbering probably five hundred or
more men each in mountains, west of

surgent artillery, all of which will he
captured unless buried. Young still in

Young with cavalry and scouts is fol
lowed by battalion Thirty-third and by

battalions Thirty-third en route for
Vigan by military post road. Young’s
reception by inhabitants most enthu
siastic; they give all aid possible. Agui
naldo has collected mere than 1,000 of
his troops at the north, probably most
will desert him. Number small detach
ments insurgent troops throughout coun
try north of Manila have been captured
and inhabitants manifest gratitude for
deliverance. Indications are that insur
gent force south of Manila disintegrating
and troops going to their homes. Re
ports from southern islands favorable,
Zamboanga insurgents surrendered to
our troops and no trouble anticipated.’’
Later in, the day the following dis
patch was received from General Otis:

5 Per Cent Gold Bonds.
The last issue of U- S. Government Bonis bear
only 3 per cent, interest, and yet command a pre
mium over par. The Equitable Life Assurance
Society now offers a policy convertible at matu
rity into 5 per cent, bonds practically as safe as
Government bonds, and in other respects better.
They are better than Government bonds because
they (1) are cheaper; (2) are paid for in instal
ments; (0 yield a higher rate of interest, and (4)
are protected by assurance.
These bonds are called Gold Debentures, and
bear interest at the rate of per cent, per annum
for twenty years. Both principal and interest are
payable in Gold, and the “promise to pay” is made
by the strongest life company in the world.
