am WEDNESDAY, De'c. 9, 1908. H, A. LONDON Editor. The management of our state penitentiary under Republican rule was in most strikiusr contrast to what it .has been and - is now under Democratic rule. We are reminded of ibis by attention be ing called to a utectlup- last week of tbe directors' o! that institu tion, Tho reports made to the direc tors at their ' meeting last week ahow that daring the past eight years of Democratic rule under Aycock and Glenn the net profits of our penitentiary amount to over four hundred thousand dol lars. This lare sum is the sur plus left after paying- nil expenses for the support and maintenance of the penitentiary. We noticed last week as one item of news, that the penitentiary authorities had ju3t sold three thousand tons of cotton seed (at thirty-three cents a bushel) from the state farms on the Roanoke river. This large surplus under Demo cratic rule is in most pleasing contrast with the gross mismanage ment under Russell's administra tion, when the penitentiary n only did not pay expenses but ra; heavily in debt, for which stale bonds had to be issued. It is well to recali thesa things ''Lost we forget", as some persons seem to be doing when they talk about re turning the Republican party to power in our good old state! Theue wa3 quite a hake -up'' in the battleship fhet last week before its departure from Manila on its homeward voyage. More than one hundred of the officers and over one thousaud of the en- listed men of that fleet were transferred to the ships of the Asiatic fleetand.' a J ike number from the latter fleet were trans ferred to thejbattleship fleet, mak ing au exchaue so as to allow inose on rue Asiatic neec an op portunity to return to the United States, the'- having been absent two or three years. Of course the officers and men, who are left behind, as well as their relatives and friends, will re gret that they cannot complete the wonderful cruise cf the battle ship fleet, but on the other ham"! there will be rejoicing anions 2.1 Pi? n i inose oi cue asi.-uic neec no are permitted now to return to this county. Among the officers left behind (or transferred) are Uo Nortt Carolinians, Eusigu Louis P. Davis, of Wilmington, and Ensign J. J . London, of Pittsboro. The latter is transferred from the Georgia to the gunboat Villalobos, which is now stationed at Hong Kong, China. President Roosevelt has placed under the civil service rules the fourth-class postmasters, except those in the southern states. Here after when there is a vacancy in the ofiice of a. fourth-class post master it will be filled by some one who has passed the civil ser vice examination. Those now in oface are allowed to hold on with out any examination. No reason is given by the President for excepting from his order the postmasters in the South, but of course it was done to prevent any Democrat from, securing au appointment. If the fourth-class postofiices of the South were placed under the civil service rules it would not be lou? before most of them would be filled by Democrats. The Baptist State Convention meets today at Wilson in its an nual session. Thia body repre sents more church members than any other religious body in the State. The statistical secretary of the convention, Prof. E, L. Middleton, has published in ad vance some statistics, which max be of interest to many of our readers, and which we copy as J follow; "There are in the State. 1,891 churches of the Missionary Bnp tisis, a gain of 41 during the past year, 12,849 baptisms during the year, 210,154 members, a gain of about 8,000 in the year; 1,669 Sun day schools, with & membership of 147,150, a gain of about 8,000 in the year with 11,198 officers and teachers."

'I am goiug to tell you in this letter of our visit to the most won derful, country in the world, Ja pan. We arrived in Yokohamo on tho 18th of October, just one day behind schedule time, for the fol lowing reason: we encountered a typhoon two days out from Man ik, and we had exceedingly rough weather for several days. Our speed was decreased nearly one half. This was decidedly the roughest weather we have encoun tered on this cruise, and the storm increased to a whole gale for sev eral hours. The fleet was opened out to double distance between snips, 800 yards, and all the hatch es oa board were securely batten ed down. Wave alter wave swept our maiu deck, but we were fortu nate iu losing- nothing except our jack-statf. Other ships fared worse: Three , men were swept overboard, one each from the Min nesota, Illinois and the Rhode Is land. The sea was running so high that it was impossible to lower life-boats, but by the great est luck the ship astern of the Minnesota and the Illinois was able to get a line to the men over board and saved them. The man from the Rhode Island was not saved. Several of the ships had their life-boats swept away from ;- ivits. The Kearsarge lost 'l-topujast. However, the l-i l -l . e r i Ho.ueu me tiay oeiore our ar rival in Yokohoma and we were able to enter the harbor in gooc shape. "Ten thousaud people on seven large steamers met us and as eacl passed a ship thev gave continued cries of -'Banzai (welcome.) They were most enthusiastic. We an chored abreast of and inshore of a Japanese fleet of 16 vessels, most of which were cruisers. The Ja panese ships are painted a dark lead color, and were quite a con trast to our wnne nuns ana spar co;or upperworKS. We were in formed that every American ship had a Japanese ship detailed to provide for the comforts of th oinjers and men. Our Japanese m ite was the cruiser baya, whicl by the way was the Russiau crui ser Variag, sunk in the harbor of Chemepo. I must say that th Japanese officers were most at i fi.it ivo, several of them coming over every morning to offer their services for the day to guide par ties of our officers anywhere tlu a-is bed to sro. lu t he same way party of bluejackets came ovei irorn the oaya every morning- tr accompany our liberty party o men ashore. Most of them conic -pc-ak a little English. They lean fcj'tu'lsh iu preference to othf t i. .'. u'li lauguagep, though it j .in;s!-red the most difficult. 'i"h. two notewortbv 'acts our isjt to Japan were the lavish- -ess of their euterrainment ati Le enthusiasm of the people Immediately upon our arriva boats came alongside with piesents a :jh souvenirs from various eourc The navy of Japan gave ev ery enlisted man in our fleet a silver medal, and everv officer "o;d medal. These medals were indeed works of art, and must aave cost the donators large sum ihe American Friends Associa tiou also gave each of us a silver medal of pretty design. You know it is au Oriental custom to ore- sent gifts to your guests, and these people carried it out in true style. There were at least four eutei tainments a day given during oui i-5ic ana at every one th guests were given neat souvenirs All the members of nobilitv enter- tained and likewise the officers of slate. "Nearly all of the entertainin was done in Tokyo, which is 18 nines from lokohoma. Accord ingly, all the Admirals and Cap tains with one officer from each ship, lived up in Tokyo for four lays. Of purse all their then ex penses were paid and they lived u iovuiscyie. ue otber officer. it the ships had to makft thi ih mile trip to Tokyo nearly every day. Admiral Togo, who, you re- -u-muer, was in command of the Japrine.se fleet when if- AatctA tne Russians in the sea of Japan, h .i magninceut garden party, waere costly presents ere given to the guests. We met uf otKflT i unctions, such in Generals as Nodyn and Keeroki. i-ne Japanese Emperor, himse'f ir ive a luncheon to the Admirals and captains. The Jaoanese Em ptor i considered the most Rfi. cusive ruler in the world, and this umcbeou was pnbably the first ne has ever given to foreigners. As a matter of tact the Japanese peo- nova.

Accordingly, with my junior officer I saw a great deal of Tokyo. We visited several temples, auion? which was the large Sho gun Temple, : nd also several ancient museums. I didn't go inside these temples that day, but another day I was pre pared I visited the inside of the temples They resemble Dur larg er churches, but have no seats in side. They have a largo image of Buddha and an altar. Directly in front of the image is a large box into which the worshippers throw money, after bowing the head and clasping their hands in front. I noticed lint a few people wonld drift in from time to time; doa't know whether they have any set time for worship or not. (To be concluded next week.) Cheese Soup. Few peple realize bow delicious a soup can he made of cheese. It consists of one and a half cupfuls cf flour, one pint of rich cream, four tahlespoonfuls of butter, four of grated Parmesan cheese, a speck of cayenne, two eggs, three quarts of pale soup stock. Mix flour, cream, butter, cheese and pepper together, place the basin in another of hot water and stir until the mixture he comes smooth, firm paste. Break into it the two eggs and mix quick ly and thoroughly. Cook two min utes longer and put away to cool. When cool roll into balls about the size of a large walnut. When the balls are all formed drop them into boiling water r.nd cook gently five minutes; then pour the soup 6tock over them. Parmesan cheese should also, be served with this soup. Fried Nutc Fried nuts are dainty little addi tions to the luncheon or supper ta ble. Good Housekeeping furnishes the recipe. Cold cooked farina, oat meal or other cereal is reheated and seasoned with butter, salt and pep per. When cool enough to shape with the hands into small balls dip m crushed walnuts, then in beaten egg, again in walnuts, and fry in deep fat. 359 Japanese Fishers Lost. Tokio, Dec. 3.
