The cablegrams from across ifae water eontlnne to reoord the social and oratorical triumphs of the great Demo oratio ederwOat.jo"tha great world, , where genine and high eharaeter are worabiped by men of fashion at well as by tbe merely thonghtfol and virtuous, Mr, Bryan ia, literally the lion of the day. It it only in tbia country, where sordid aod often ill gotten wealth teemed, nntil the collapse of Wall ttreet, chiefly to be worshiped, that he it derided. Oa Batnrday Mr. Chamberlain enter tamed him; and tbe next day he was tbe gnest of the Lord Mayor of Dublin, who bad assembled the leaders of Irish thongbt in Churoh and State to meet him. Here it a charming glimpse.sent by tbe associated press, of the impression oreated in the old country by onr leading Amerioen gentleman : Ambassador Cboate has been inde fatigable in bis attentions to Mr. Bryan, and at the tatter's special rtqoest be Introduced him to the Governor of tbe Bank of England, Hope Morley, with whom be discussed bimetalism. Mr. Bryan found in Mr. Morley a kindred spirit on tbe question of free trade, bat an invincible opponent on f ee silver. He went through tbe bullion ault of the bank, Mr. Cboate keeping np an incessant fire of raillery, to wbicb Mr. Bryan responded with lcSoite good humor. t Everyone who meets Mr. Bryan eon fesses to being fasaioated by bis sim plicity aod straightforward manner. He is everywhere voted to be an alto getber delightful and charming per sonality. Mb Cboate's dinner party for him was teleoted with the fine taet aod at tbe same time with a touch of that genial, ironical humor wbieb is the Ambassador's greatest gift. He in trodoeed Mr. Bryan to Prime Minister Balfonr as a brother bimetallism to tbe great amusement of both. Mr. Bryan confidentially assnred Mr. Baifour that if be had stock to bimetallism as a panaeea for Eogland's industrial ills it never would have been necessary for bim to involve himself in an ineztrie able mut of tariff problems. dir Clinton Dawkins, as representa tive of the Morgan trust in this coun try, was another surprise provided for Mr. Bryan by Mr. Cboate, who, as a set off, also invited Moreton Frewen, a prominent free silver protagonist on this side, and Sir Egbert Q.ffen, a re nowned free trade advocate and statis tician. Both at tbe National Liberal Clnb dinner and at tbe American Society's banquet Mr. Bryan's oratory made a piotonnd impression. No other speaker at the American Society's banquets ever has evckec! anything like ibe eotbns iasm Mr. Bryan did by bis fl ght of real aod natural eloquence, in wbicb be painted bis ideal of America's mission among tbe nations. CCBBBNT CtJISE.1I. Tbe dispatohes, as printed in several of the papers, noted tbe fact that a report on tbe national gnard encamp ments had been made by "Major Fren ohusa." This was copied into the Ob 8KBVIR, and, although the name of this offioer bad a eurions sound tor an American, it was allowed to pass with ont comment, in view of tbe polyglot nomenclature which the widening area of modern emigration is imparting to onr citizens. Here, for example, we have Mr. Beaupre' as our minister to Bogota; aod lately there was Mr. Ben ta at tbe head of onr official band at Washington. It turns out that tbe name was "Mapr French, U.S.A.," and that tbe telegrapher had run the name and tbe suffix into one word. Which, by tbe way .recalls tbe origin of Boasa's name itself. He was John Philipsoi and, wben be emigrated from his native Italy to tbe United States, he bad bis baggage marked ' Jobn Pbilipso, U. S. A." Bat the village painter ran the U. 8. A. into tbe name, and the soon-to-be-famous emigrant, rather liking it in this fashion, adopted it, and became, as be is todsy, Jobn Philip Sonsa. I0ITH CABOUIi UD THI C0I8aISS IOIiL OOMUTIIII. At already stated in this paper, Mr. Small it not to be on the committee on Rivers and Herborf, notwithstanding ha bad tht endorsement of tour States and of every important commercial or ganisation from Baltimore to ths Onlf of Msxito.

Oar Upper Cape Fear Im provsmsnt, however, will not suffer, we think, as Mr. Patterson has his heart et npon its speedy accomplishment, and he bat made a fine impression al ready npon his colleagues.

AllWltJEl II TBI COLO Mil At lit tlL ' A new torn has been given to the Panama-Colombian tffair by the dec laration made by General Reyes, tbe special envoy from Colombia to the United States, wbo hat arrived at Washington, and who made a state ment to the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun on Saturday, from whiob we qaote tbe following : "Yon will readily admit tbe proprie ty of my refraining from discnssing my mission, which is of a ooiflieutial character," said tbe General, ."but of the offjrs which Colombia is ready to make I desire to say that my energies aod tbose of my followers will be de yo'ed to the granting of tbe canal con cessions to the United States witboot tbe payment ofa conUjSyeu at.tbis i Colombia will be tbe gainer." "Are yon authorized by President Marrrquiato make this offer to the Washington Government!' General Reyes was' atked. "Tb&t would be divulging my in structioos before I b&ve executed them I can not say more about this now," be replied. "You can further say," continued the General, "that all Colombia is afire wiib ial for tbe building of tbe canal by tbe United States and that tbe nn fortunate political troubles which were tbe sole canse nf the treaty's death be fore the Colombian Congress have en tire'.y disappeared. We want tbe canal, and I have come to Washington to see what the people of tbe United States are prepared to accept. I come with instructions from tbe President of Co lombia direot." "Feeling is running high and there is indignation over me events on tbe Isthmus. We ean and will put down tbe rebellion if not interfered with from tbe ontsiJe. So tense is the feel ing and so national tbe spirit of deter mmatioo to brine lb Isthmus back into the republic that President Marro qain will have no trouble to raising an army twice taa s:9 necessary to pnt down the disturbance. Such an army can march overland to the Isthmus, the opinion of ill-advised persons to the contrary notwithstanding." "What can the United States do, now that a treaty bas been signed by Secretary Hay and M. Banao-Vartllaf "Tbat treaty bas not been ratified. The Colombian Government does not ask the United S-.ates to aid it in pot ling down the revolution on the Isth mus. All we ark is to be allowed to conduct our own affairs free from out side interference, "Tbe Colomb an Government ean pnt down tbe revolution without violat ing a letter of the treaty of 1S46 -I re fer to tbe treaty tbat we always have respected and adhered to and not to tbe treaty as interpreted in these later days. If the United States maintains a neutral position tbe revolution will be put down." lacata Itssu. After an absence of several weeks we come again to let tbe rest of tbe world know tbat we are still in exist ence, even if everything is tbe same old "six and seven." Miss Fannie Smith, wbo is in school here, spent Saturday and Sunday with ber parents in Simpson county. Prof. Langston spent Thanksgiving with bis parents at Monnt 0'ive. Messrs. W. W. Aatry, D. W. Ballard aod Edward Saseom? have gone to Bladen county to spend several days hunting. Eev. L H Joycer is attending the Annual Conference at Goldsboro.

CorreapoDdtact of the Otxerrar. Mb Editor: It was my pleasure to visit tbe primary department of tbe the Graded School recently. This de partment" is taught by Mrs. Kate Utley. Until this year tbe old phonetic sys tem of reading was taught. She has introduced the Ward's rational method and gets better results from it than could be expected. The children are taught to make letters, then tbey are tanght eighty words committed to memory. Mrs. Utley then puts these words upon tbe board in script. Tbey learn it and then she puts on - the printed word; tbey kaow it and are required to tell tbe difference. Wben tbey learn these ords from the board they know them in tbe book. Then tbe little ones go step by step upward until they aie given a book, from which each child is required to stand np aod read. It is very remarkable how soon tbey learn to read. Mrs. Utley also teaobes them by sounding a word. She tells them tbey may touch whatever she oalls oat, sounding that thing. This is en joyed very much by the children. Tcey are also taught to sing and to exereise the body. It is very impres sive to see tbe little ones ( that are of tbe kind Christ said : "Softer tbe lit tle children to come unto Me, and forbid them not, for of such is tbe Kingdom of Heaven.") join band in band and si-.g "Good bye little schoolmate until we meet another day." One almost wishes he were a child, and under such a teaeber, so tbat his life would be d.fferent. It is an easy thing to judge tbe mothers at home by tbe little tots wbo come to school from day to day. One often wonders if tbere are any women preachers to this we would say tbat such women in tbe position of Mrs. Utley are doing more good in tbe worid than any man preacher that ever existed.. Mrs. Utley would be very glad for any one to come to her school - room during the week and see bow the eoildren are taught, and the wonderful progress they arc making, it is a thing tb-t every bodv should be inter ejted in and we should try to not only encourage tbe children, but the teaeb ers also. We learn that before Thanksgiving day one of tbe teachers got tbe pupils to donate so much as tbey could for tbe poor, teaching them to be generous and onseibib and noble. This is eer tainly one thing that should be com mendable in this and all teachers. We understand that Mr. Jones has aiked the ministers of the city to open tbs sebool with devotional exercises in the mornings; each minister having a wet i in rotation. U.

C, Nov. 30. 1903, Mr. Editor : Having been appointed chairman ot a finance committee 'o solicit tbe active and financial support ot oar eitiiens to make onr reorganized Chamber of Commerce a more valuable instrument to advance tbe future interests of our eity, eocnty and section than it has ever been before, and as it is impossible tor the committee to personally explain to all ot them tbe otjaets and aims ot tbs organization, I ask tbe privilege of briefly stating in your eoloms ths situ atlon, so that tbose who are called npon will be able to promptly and intelligently give ns their assistance in pushing forward our commercial, financial, in dustrial and material interests, or be qially prompt in giving us a reason for not doing so. Tbe meeting at tbe eonrt bouse on ast Mondav nigbt fully demonstrated tbat our eitizsoa are more determined than ever before to get together and lose no opportunitv to advance onr eveiy interest. All of oar eitizens, however, were not there.

Tbis money choold be raised by the auray and not by a few patriotic men. Every citizen of this entire section is interested, and tbe committee Dopes sod expects everv one to do bis share. The initiation fee bas been temporarily suspended for tbe admits 00 of nsw members. Tbs reg ular moothly dues are oolv 25 eents a onto. Ws want at lesst 400 members. This will give ns $100 a month as a starter, and we believe that with tb s we ean make tbe organization worth thousands annually to oar community. We have got more natural advantages than any other plaes in tbe Stats, and it is only necessary to let onr light properly shine to have those advaota ges developed. Ia fact we eao develop them ourselves if we will oney poll to gether and determine to do so. Tbs next regular mseting ot tbs Chamber will be 00 next Tborsday nigbt, Decern ber 3.-d, at which time tbis committee hopes to be able to make a satisfactory aod patriotic report. The committee will eall npon all tbat they ean, bot plesss don't wait to bs approached, tfend in yonr names and tbe amount yon are willing to pay monthly for 12 months, to give tbe preaent cBoials a fair trial. At the last meeting quite a nnmber of ths members increased their monthly assessments very materially. We hope that as many as ean do to will follow thtir lead.

Wood haulers are charging a sharp percent more per load for wood, and the loads they oner are at nsual, very small. We know that it will take about 3 average wagon ' loads " to bit cord rack, and tben to make it still worse the wood Is only say 3 to jt feet long. For these loads they charge ft $ a piece, making fj 75, which, after being corded, lack from one-fourth to onc etghth of measuring a cord, on account of being cnt too short, which, we'll ssy, make a difference of at least about 35c, which, adaed to fj 75, makes our wood coat ns $4 10 per cord, which Is entirely too much, as much wood as there It around Fsyettevllle. We sag. gest tbtt onr honorable board et alder- men arrange for the town to have a wood inspector, whose dnty it shall be to grade and measure every load of ood brought to town for sale, and then. If we have to pav big prices fjr our wood, we will get what we pay for. Kespectlnlly submitted, A ClTlZBN. Dtg raeug Aatrieaaita. "In reading the roster of the mem bers ot the House of Representatives," says tbe Robesonian, "onr attention is srrested by the large number ot names tbat indioate foreign extraction and have not' been associated with the growth of the country. This is notably true ot the Northern and Western Representatives. It goes to indicate tbe great influence of tbe children of the foreign born citisens. There is food for thought in it. No one eapable of doing any nsetul thinking worthy of shaping onr progress in tbe future ean fail to see there is danger in adding to oar citixsos foreigners faster than tbey ean be Amerieannad. let this, we fear, is what has been done in tbe past. Perhaps it is too late to arrest it. The nuameriean eitiiens ot tbe country have probably come to wield tbe bl anoe ot power and it is no longer pos sible to enaot laws to check the influx ot even tbe most undesirable foreign ers." No doubt onr contemporary is right, in great measure; but we do not believe the influence ot the foreign born and their children would be effective 'in this matter were it not for the greed of the mine owners and corporations, whose influence secures the habitual violation of the restrictive immigration laws now and for years past on tbe statute books. Cubsrlaas' Iuaa. Cumberland, N. C. Nov. 30. 1903. Mb Editor : A few nights ago, while on bis wav from Fsyettevllle, Mr. L. B. Pattisall, wbo was accompanied by his brother. when near the gate ot the stock law fence on ths road that leads to Hope Mill, was confronted by two ruffians wbo suddenly sprang from the bnsbes into tne rosa. vac 01 tnem made a pass at the bridle, while the other ad vaneed as rapidly as possible on tbe rear of tbe baggy. The two yoong men, being of a cool nature, took iu tbe sitnation at once, and, with one sharp cut of the whip on their horse, left tbe would-be robbers standing in the road without any booty to divide between them. Not a word was spoken by either side. In the darkness of tbe nigbt, and tbe quick transaction, Mr Pattisall eonld not tell whether the parties were white or black. A few days sgo, tbe Cumberland mill had a small breakdown, the line shafting that rnns the tappers came in two, aod stopped tbat part of tbe ma ehioery tor a short time. But skilled workmen pretty soon started the old familiar hum, and now everything is moving on lovely, with plenty ot or ders and a fairly good supply of cotton on band. Tbe general health of onr village is very good. We have only one serious case of sioknees, that of Miss Mary McKionon wbo is critically ill at this time, but we bope soon to Bee her oon valeseeot. Of ooorse colds are somewhat in or der, for whiob Pat seems to have a little more than his share or, at least, tbat is bis feeling. The cold wave tbat strnck ns a few days ago baa, to some negree, retarded outside work, but not to any great in- convenience.

Mr. Harry B MaoNiehol, ot the staff of the New York Amerioan and Atlan ta Journal, telegraphs those papers ss follows from Panama, under date ot November 28 1 All good Americans ought to bs in terested iu the birth ot a new nation a republic in the western world. First came Cuba, and now we have Panama. Tbe independence ot tbe Isthmus has been tor years a eberished bope of tbe libsral leaders here and in Colon, bat tbe plot did not take form nutil Coloin bia rejadled the canal treaty and left the Panamana ' really-Tiolhing"Tnore-o hope fir from the Bogota government. Dr. Emanuel Amador, now in the United States aa one ot the commis sion of two tent to Washington by the provisional government to negoti ate a new canal treaty, waa really the father of the independence movement. Others were taken into tbe con spiracy, which eventually numbered in Its ranks nearly every person of consequence in both Panama and Colon. The master stroke wss accomplish ed in winning over to the canse of in dependence General E Hnertas, who was the commander-ln-cbiet ot tne Colombian troops on the Isthmus. Wtthoat Haertas the canse was hope less. Hnertas bargained, too, to deliver over all his soldiers and the Colombian gunboats in the harbor to the Pan amans. A remarkable man is this General Haertas. Of nearly pure Indian blood, Haertas was born np In the high Cor dilleras ot the Andes. Eventually be found himself Colombia's most fam ous general and In :ommand of all military and naval foices in the isth mus. The bishop of Panama, whose every Interest favored tbe Bogota govern ment, learned ot the independence movement, and warned Bogota, bat General Hnertas overcame this by sending false reports, assuring the federal omclals. Huertas, In arrang ing to tnrn over his command, fonnd that there weje some fen of the om cers and men whom he could not trust To get rid of these he hit upon a clever scheme. Tbere was cabled to the United states and printed in all the news papers the story of how a band of 70 revolutionists bad landed on tbe norib coast of Ibis isthmus and was mareh ing toward Panama. General Huer tas sent a detachment ot the troops. made of the officers and men whom he could not trnst, to the mountains of Cbiiqui to hunt for the 70. They were still bunting for tbem in vain when in dependence was proclaimed at Pana ma. General Huertas, according to pre vailing reports, reeeived vlU.UUU in gold for bis action, and the troops turned over received their back pay owed them by Colombia, and their rate of pay far the future was more than doubled. Now they are being paid weekly in advance. Ibe Washington government was kept folly informed of every detail of revolution through M. Varilla, the agent of the Panama Canal Comoany, Amerioan army and naval ifDoers were entrusted with secret missions, tbat tbe United States might be pre pared to take advantage ot tbe over throwing of tbe old government. Tbe cruiser Dixie, with American marines on board, just happened to be down this way. Tbe American gnnboat Nashville dropped in at Colon to say, "Howdy do" to the Amerioan Consul, Mr. Malmros.
