The "itlzi n.i

strong, logical speech before a small
audience in the court house here Tues

than an average audience and being the

Commencing with the premise that

he showed hou the Republican party
was one of policies as shifting as the
sand dunes of the east. Illustrating, he
declared that the money question was
merely a policy of the period, given life
oy conditions ai tne time, ann tnere was
no Iunilamental principle involved in;
the issue of gold or silver, and that ep-'
isi.de in the life of the Democratic par-;

SATISFACTION.
' Clifton flour always satisfies because
lit is always kept ri?ht up to the stand
iinl the highest -standard of purity
and excellence.
: "Clifton" possesses every nuality es
sential for making bread that is w hite,
light and sweet. The rich flavor so rel-
!dom found in the bread made from or
dinary flours that delicious pure
; wheat flavor Is alw ays found in the
bread made with "Clifton," which ii no
ordinary flour, as most people know.
"Clifton" flour is milled from the pick
-of the finest wheat grown; milled sci
entifically, with the best of skill and
! machinery in every detail of its manu-
; facture.
"Clifton" is easily a leader and Is
standing the test of thousands of fini

your grocer send you a jack. The sat
isfaction experienced by our many cus
tomers is assured.

MORMON TEMPLE TO
BE BUILT IN BEAUFORT
(Special to The Citizen.)
Washington, N. C. Sept. 18. Prac
tically the first influx of Mormons to
North Carolina began in 1835. Travel
ing elder s came first to Beaufort coun
ty and branched o r in the sound coun
ties. They gained a strong following
in the firmer county, which has in
creased each year. Old Ford, a smart
village, was then and is now, their
stronghold. More elders have come
each year. Wives have deserted hus
bands and children and joined Brigham
Young disciples, and husbands have
done likewise.
Beaufort county's Mormon believers
now number several hundred and a
temple is to be erected at Old Ford, a
central place of worship. The spread
of this religion here has been amazing
and it is reaching a stage where it de
mands attention.
The temple will be one of few east
of the Mississippi river and will come
in for a good deal of attention from the
state press.

WASHINGTON MAN SAYS
HE'S FOUND THE SECRET
i Special p. The Citizen.) - i
Washington. N. C, Sept. 1. John Ti.
Respass. jr.. assistant postmaster here,
has invented and nearly perfected a
metal that he claims is non-pierceable. .
To what extent he has succeeded is at
tested by the fact that the United States
government has carefully examined his
invention and promised him aid In his
tests, on a trip to Washington a few
weeks ;:g,, he was treated with every j
courtesy by the navy department offl- j
cials. i
From an explanation given by the in-
ventor it seems that the invention is a,
comomati. n of mathematical thougnt
and a formula fQr a decided hardening
of the present day battleship steel ar
mor plate. Preliminary tests have al
leady been made and should the inven
tion show up all the inventor claims for
it in the final test it will mean a hand
same fortune for Respass and it will
revolutionize this country's naval war
fare. YOU HAVE GOT TO HAVE THEM

BY HIS HANDS ONLY, HUNG
! BETWEEN EARTH AND SKY
Chicago. Sept. IS. Suspended only by
his hands. McNaughton Wright, a
prominent member of the Board of
Trade, hung between life and death for
L'a minutes at the top of a grain chute
in the Rock Island elevator. When res
cued. Wright was exhausted and on the
point of releasing his hold, which would!
have meant a fall of a hundred feet to j
the hard floor of an empty bin. and al-
most certain death. He entered the el-
vator to inspect some wheat.
Making a misstep he fell into the
chute, but succeeded in clutching the
edge, hanging by his hands. Wright's
calls for help were finally heard by an
employe, who pulled him out. He faint
ed and was unconscious for nearly an
hour.

Reaping the Harvest
The harvest being reaped during the
feur acts of "Reaping the Harvest." the
most beautiful of all modern plays is
that of he who sows unwisely. It pic
tures the echo of what i oo often
thought good times. It show" the
weakness and the strength of human"
nature. In short, it is a story of every
day life teeming with the richest kind
..f comedy, a sufficiency of pathos and
heart interest, constructed in a master
ly way. At the Grand Saturday matt

Care For
Opals?
We have just concluded the
purchase of something over
1,000 carats of round and oval
Cabachon opals which we
consider a very fine lot. The
colors are blue, pink, green,
red and their combinations.
These beautiful gems we
will put on the market at
from 50c. per carat up,
which is not over one-half
their actual value.

Condition of the Ice
Sydney. N. S., Sept. 18. The Peary
Arctic Club steamer, Windward, Capt.
S. W. Bartlett, arrived here this morn
ing from Cape Sabine. All on board are
well. Lieut. Peary sent to the club his
report of the operations of the expedl
tion since August 19, 1901, in which he
says:
"We left Erik harbor August 29,
reached Payer harbor September 16,
crossing Roese bay partly by sledge and
partly by boat, then walking across
Bedford Pirn. About a week, later my
Eskimaux began to fall sick. By No
vember 19. six adults, six children were
dead, and nearly all the others very
weak. In February a large depot of dog
food was established near Cape Louis
Napoleon. 60 miles north of Sabine. On
March 6 we started with the main party
of is sledges. Eight marches more took
us to Cape Hecla. The north end of
Robinson channel was all open access
! me i.reeniand coast, from Hecla tne
1 supporting party returned. April 1 we
started northward over the Polar sea
with Hansen, four Eskimaux and six
sledges. Each day's march was more
perilous and our general course was de
flected west by the character of the ice,
Finally at 84.17 north latitude, north
west of Hecla, the polar pack became
impracticable, and further efforts to
advance were given up. New leads and
pressure of ridges with foggy weather
made our return in some respects more
trying than the advance. Hecla was re
gained April 29 and Cape Sabine was
reached May 15. The Windward arrived
at Chateau Bay, Labrador, September
14. where we sent dispatches. The year
at Payer harbor was passed comforta
bly, though the anxious strain causal
by the ravages of disease among my
faithful people, was not light. Food
was abundant. The northern sledge
trip in the spring was arduous,
but not marked by special exposure,
suffering or danger. Further advance
was vetoed by the insuperable natural
conditions."
Peary will go to New York tomorrow.
WOMAN'S EXCHANGE NOW
IS ON A PAYING BASIS
The Woman's Exchange of this e'ty
has through the efforts of the manag- j
ers been put on a paying basis. For
several years the exchange struggled
for existence, in considerable debt and
with insufficient patronage. About a
year ago the managers decided that
something must be done or the ex
change could not be kept up.
The business department of the inti-
i tution w as reorganized, several ent r
tainments during the winter and aum
; mer. brought money to the coffers and
the continued effort has at last placed
i tr, exchange on good financial footing,
with no debts and a promising outlook.-
! Such patronage as the public has given
to the exchange this summer wi'l en
able that beneficial association to be
continued, prosperously.
