fuES S EH GEO - lliTEEll! GCER IWAbKSBOUO, N.C., JUNK 13, 1901. JAS. G. BOYLIN, Publisher. niLL NOT AKK (OK TIIIKl TEK.U. Senator DePew and Representative Cha. II. Grosve ior, who have beeu go ing about the country advocating a third termjor Mr. McKinley, have caused tbe President to give to ti.e public, nnder dale Jf Jun; . 10th, the following state went on the subject: "I regret that the supjfestion of a third term ha been mide. I doubt whether I am called upou to give it, notice. But there are now questions ot the gravest importance before the administration and Ihe country and their just consideration Bhoold not be prejudiced in the public mind by even the suspicion of thought of a third term. In view, therefore, of the reiteration of the sugges.ion of it," I will say. now, once for all, e; pressing a long settled conviction, that not only.sfm not and will not be a candidate for a . third term, but would not accipt a nomination for it, if it were tendered! me. ' "My only ambition is to serve ihiough- out riiy second term to ta e acceptance of my couutrymen, whosj generous confi den ce I so deeply appreciate, and then, with them, do my duty in the ranks of jirivatecitienship." . The above is conclusive and shows the President's good se. ise. He has done well to abide by the precidents set by the great Presidents of tue past. A communication ii the Charlotte Ob- server contains the startling statement -i tMt the little heiress of Biltmore - will-be ieu on mutt irom a $2,700 sow, during the visit tof her pard uts to that magnifi cent estate this summer. Cow's milk has heretofore been considered good enough for small children ia these parts, but it seems, according to the Observer, tbat, that faithful animal will Lave to give way to the pedigreed sow.

Paris, June S. The sensation of the week has been the arrest of Madam Monnier, a rich, miserly, land-owner of the neighbor hood of I'oitiers, and be son, a . former prefect of the Department of Viennand a leader of Foitiers society, on the charge of incarcerating Mile Blanche Moimier, daughter of Madame Monnier, for 25 years, in a room of Madame Monniei's house The police who were anonymously notified of the woman's deteution, entered the house and found Mile. Monnier shut up in a room, in darkness, lying on a mattress, stark naked, and so emaciated tbat she appeared to be a Jiving skeleton. The room was covered with filfh, bone, refuse food, worms, rats and all kinds of vermin. The unfortunate woman, who bad partiaHy lost her reason, was taken tVk hospital. It was thought she would die, but she is now im proving. Twenty-five years ago she was a beautiful brunette and fell in love with a lawyer without- means. -ller mother dis approved of their love' and eonfined her in the'rooni which she has jonty recently left.

The gravity of her crime was brought home to her at the judge's examination Thursday. She be came ill and died suddenly in the infirmary of tbe prison this morning. Farther Details of Strang Case. The London Telegraph of May 23 gives the following detail's of the Monnier case at Poitiers, gathered before the death of &me. Monrier:, Were 'ft not saitlatUie outset that the following account of a horrible -case just disclosed at Poitiers rests on official evi dence, your readers would hardly believe -the story. A few days ago the police coni rpissary of that town received an unsigned communication to' the effect that a weStkby lady of the highest position and- her son, formerly a subprefect in the department, aud both connected witu several religioiis societies of the district, "had tor the last 25 years conspired to keepjhe former's isagn-" ter iiiUegar "detention, subjecting her to 'hcaiost iiUiumau treatment. ; , "1 he official called at the house where .'he unfiiriuuate woman was said to be im prisoned by her mother. The latter, an old lady, refused t see him, and- reterred him' to her son, living in another-bouse oppo site. Here the commissary also failed at first to obtain admittance. Having, after much parleying, at last succeeded, he told the master of the house that he wished at once to see his sister. He met :a. peremp tory refusal. .On. his threatening legal ac tion he was taken to an apparently disused wing of the building. Before ihe ' doir of one of the rooms the master of the house said: 'My sister lives there.' The police official intimated that hemust enter .the apartment, aud after much demur his cum pinion op mcl the door "The commissary efftered tbe room, which was dark, aud, throwing open the window, saw lying upon a straw mattress, which was in the ni st filthy: condition a womau naked and like a skeleton in ' ap pearance. Her arms were hardly an inch aud a half in diameter. The room was in an lndescrioably dirty state, larne rats run ning about the place, and vermin of-all kinds swarming everywhere. The floor was strewn with mijdewed food, which must have lain there for years. "Tne unfortunate woman was later con fided to the care of nurses, and is now in a h ispital, wheie she continualTy expiesses the utmost wonder atv!he comfort of her new surroundings Her mother and brother ,er having been ,lumon account have been arrested, the former placed temporarily in an asy of her -advanced age. The unfortunate daughter, who is now 62 years old, had never since the first clay of ner imprisonment been approached by any human being except her unnatural brother. Such inscriptions as 'When shall 1 see the light?' 'Liberty! Liberty!' and rude draw ings of crosses and beans have beeu found on the walls of the room fhere she was shut up. Her present weight has been as certained atthe hospital, aud is 44 pounds." A Strike at 91 odeua Mills, tins- tonia. Gastooia, June 11. All the weavers of the Modena Cotton Mills .quit work this morning. To or three we.-ks ag they changed from plaiu cloth to a dimity. They received 41 cents a cut fir the plaiu goods and no advance was made on . the finer goods. They objected that they could not make so much, but the mill people said that they would furnish helpers by which they could make as "much,' there being one helper for several weavers Uut the weavers say that they made from $r to $1.5 per day before and can now make ob4v from 80 to 90 cents perday. They are now getting 41 cents a cut and t hey demanded 4 ceuts, and beouisa this was nat granted they quit work to-day. 'Mr J.

Willis Li. Moore, the chief of tbe Weather Bureau, acliug under the direction of Secre tary Wilson, has issued to the press the loilowiug statement : "After an examination of all that has been published tiuring the past two years, my conviction is that we have-here to do with a popular delusion as remarkable as is the belief in the effect of the moou ou the weather. The uneducated peasamry-rof-Europe seem to be looking for something miraculous. They would rather believe in cannonading as a means of protection and spend on 11 a undance of mouy, time and labor thai adopt the very Miuple expedient ot mutual insurance against the losses that must inevitably occur The fcreat pro cesses going 011 in the atmosphere are con ducted 011 loo laige a scale to warrant any man -or uatiou in attempting to coiarol them. The energy expended by nature iu the production of a hail storm, a tornado, or a rain-storm, exceeds the combined energy of all the 8tean engines and explosives in the world. It is useless for mankind to combat nature on this scale. 'Alter the experiehce that this country has had daring the oast ten years with rain-making, 1 am loth-lo believe that the practiced or even attempted in the United bombardment of hail storms ever will be States, much- less eneouratied by the intel lfijeut portion of Ihe community.

Salisbury, June 10. The Vance Cotton Mill, located near the city limits, is shut down, for ;the present.

It has been kuoivn for some ti.ue that the owners of the mill objected to the operators j lining the Textile Union. I'heir desire 10 become members caused the shut-down this morning.

Chicago, June 10 Side "by side, each with a bullet wound in the temple, the dead bodies of L. Hartmau and his wife were found iu their bed at the -Great Northern Hotel, this evening.
