Reports uarefully and intentionally spread tell of tbe dismissal of tbe com mission and ol its baying no omoiai obaraoter. These ara inoorreot. Tbe commission sat and has drawn up a dooument containing 11 main points. Tbe report was In due course banded to the Minister of tbe Interior, to be banded by bim to tbe Emperor. Tbe Ciar bas received tbe resolutions with every sign of satisfaction. In deed, tbe whole idea was initiated by bim and bas been bis dream ever sinoe be came to tbe throne. It is true there bas been Intense antagonism to it on tbe Dart of oertaio august persons, also by tbe Holy Synod, wbiob looks upon any liberal measures as destroetive ol tbe power and prestige of the Orthodox Cboreb. Tbese influence! tbe Usar bas overcome, firmly believing that something; oan and must be done in the way of altering tbe present system of government tbrongbont Russia. This all important, history-making document bas been turned over by the Emperor to' the members of tbe Impe rial Council and may be altered, ao oordiog to tbe suggestions made by that body, but there are points wbioh tbe Emperor bas already decided on. These are as follows t First That there shall in the future be perfeot freedom of tbe press. Second Perfect freedom ol con science shall be allowed. This means a great deal, especially to tbe Jews, as it permits tbem to bold property in districts hitherto restricted. Third That the people shall bave a vote in tbe Legislatures of tbe country wbiob means representative bouses). Fourth That for tbe impartial ren dering of justice judges shall be immo vable, as in England. Hitherto on the slightest pretext they bave been removed by tbe obiefs of theZaooetvou. upon one point tbe Emperor does not agree with the resolutions of tbe commission. Be will not, under any oircomstances, eanotion tbe oonttol of the budget by tbe people. Tbe Imperial Council bas been di reeled to work ont tbe proieot with as little delay as possible, wheo-this has been done, tbe highly interesting ques tion will arise as to when the Imperial ukase will be issned, making tbe newly made reform laws. It might come in the event of a great Russian defeat, in order to buoy up the spirits of tbe peo pie and rouse them to reoewed enthu siasm to meet great trial. Again it might be given as tbe crowning act upon a day of rejoicing. Both poesi- bilities are already talked ot oy those who ara behind the soenes ot politics in this oountry. TU 01ITBBI AID THE D1TI. Baltimore Ban. The good ladies ot the Woman's Christian Temperance Uoion deter mined that lager beer in the army posts ot the United States is an scourged thing, even as tbe silver and the Baby Ionian garment and tbe wedge ot gold wbieh Aobao, tha eon ot Carmi, the son of Zibdi, the aon of Zara, hid in the midst ot bis tent. They decreed, there tore, that it shonld be pnt away utterly. They made a descent upon Congress some years ago and Congress snrrend ered and enacted a law abolishing tbe canteen. Then oame tbe army officers with one ooneent and deolarud that the last state ot the enlisted men is worse than the first. Tbey affirmed that the abolition of the canteens bad promoted drunkenness and desertions and insub ordination. That instead of drinking beer in the post exchanges, or clubs, or canteens, as tbey are variously called, where they are under tbe supervision of their cfhaers and are in safe and wholesome surroundings, they go forth and drink vile whitky at the dives around the main gate. They also averred that tbese dives grew up like mushrooms around every army post as soon as the canteen was abolished. They further aver tnat the patronage ot the soldier is so valuable to these bad plaoes tbat the keepers thereof were ready to enlist along wltb the temperance societies in tbe war against tbe canteens. The ladies of tbe Christian Temper ance Union had no difficulty in putting tbe army effioers to flight. They eon vinoed Congress on tbe first round tbat the men who live in toe posts and com mand the soldiers koow nothing about what is good for the men, and even if thev knew, tbey misrepresent eoodi tione. Therefore Congress bat steadily refused to restore the canteen, and the commanding officers ara reporting that drunkenness and evil are steadily in creasing under thit temperance law. It wat an easy viotory lor tba tem peranoe ladisa over tba generals and inreeons. But it it now intimated that tha Woman's Christian Temperance Dolon is to encounter a mora formid able foe. Tba "army, women," tba wives of effioers and enl t'ed men. it it taid, hava entered the fray, Tbey live at tha poets and bave tba advant aga ot knowing what tbay ara talking about, being tbe woret sufferers from tha drunkenness ot their husbands, and they, too, arc entering npon a warfare tor temperance. But la their opinion the wav to nromote temperance in tha posts is to restore the canteens, where beer and light wines ara told, and to driva away tba evil resorts wnere pois onous whisky and worta ara told. It dow teems to be a battle royal between tba decent oanteen and tha Indeoent diva, with women lining op oo either side and all of them on both sides aotnatad by the purest and best ot motives. It will be a battle worm tea log, and mere men can stand ailda.

B BBTAB OB TBB BHOTIOB, A telegram from Kansas City to tbe Baltimore Sun aayst Hon, William Jennings Bryan made a flying trip lo Kansas City, going to tbe Hotel Baltimore, where be met Mosee C. Wetmore, of St. Louis, hy appointment, to arrange for a hnnt in the Oiarks, the party to be made np of Mr. Bryan, Mr. Wetmora and a few otbert. Mr. Bryan denied tbat bis meeting with Mr. Welmore was to talk polities or to arrange for a eonferenae of Demooratt. - "Tba story that I sent ont lettera to prominent Democrats," said he, "it un true. I tent ont no letters and I have not tried to have a conference. My plant do not oontemplate a conference ot any sort, at least in tbe immediate future." Mr. Bryan was asked to give his opinion of tbe Republican success in tbe election. "If yon will examine the returns," said be, "yon will find that the Repub lican increase was not at mnob as might bave . been expected. They show, for instance, tbat tbe Roosevelt vote in Missouri was only 7.3U0 over tbe McKinley vote ot ltWU. If you take this Republioan vote and figure ont tbe percentage yon will find that tbe in crease it not in keeping with tbe in orease in population that one would naturally expect. It wonld be fewer than 2,000 votes a year, equivalent to only 10,000 increase in population, and surely yon have increased more rapidly than tbat. If tbe Republicans and Demoeratswere equally divided it would approximate only 20,000 increase in population in a year, or 200,000 in a deoade. What decade shows so small an increase as tbatf 'So 7ou see," Mr. Bryan went on, "it is not a Republican viotory at all. It indioatea, rather, a falling eff in tbe Democratic vote, whereas it should increase. Ton will notice tbe same thing is trns in other States. Tbe Republioan gain was not in proportion to the Demooratio loss. The Republi cans ot Missouri would better make the most ot their opportunity, for there ts no evidence of a change ot politioal complexion ot tbe State. In Illinois toe ttepoblieans bad abont 3d Uw in oreane, while the Uemooratio vote tell eft 170.000. In one oonnty Roosevelt bad 900 majority more than McKinley had in 1000 and bad, too, a smaller vote than McKinley bad, which showed a stay-at-home vote of more than 1,000 Democrats. "In Nebraska the situation was tbe same as I bave described elsewhere. Roosevelt's gain over MoKinley's vote ot 1900 was less than McKinley's gain over hit own vote of 1890, while tbe oombioed vote ot Parker and Watson was 45,000 less than my vote in 1900. Tbat ehows it was not so mnob a Re pnblioan gain as a loss for the oppoai tioo. It requires only a campaign that will arouse the people to bring our vote up to its normal figures." "tint to what do you attribute tbe stay-at-bome vote 1 1 "The reason 1 bave given heretofore. The Demooratio party tried to be con setvative when it should bave attacked the Republicans all along the line. It sounded a partial retreat when it should bave been 'Charge.' That's all there is to it." IBB BOBTH OaBOLIIa BBGIBEBTaL HUTOBIBs. EaJalgh Timet. State Librarian M. O.

Ia other words, was tha assae sinatioo ot Von Plehve, morally an in defensible action, iaetined by tnbso quent developments f Tbe tone of tbe woria-press at ma time ot toe asiaisi nation was morbidly pessimistic. . Editors and diplomats agree tbat tba abrupt taking off of tbe sternly reprea sive Plehve was, per te, no mora than he deserved for bit implacably eroel polioies. Tbey pointed out, however, tbat every snob violent protest in Rut sia had been followed by a redoubling ot harsh measures, acd tbat tbe nihil 4 lets should bave by tbis learned tbe hard lesson ot enduring present Ills. From tbis point tbey argned tbat tbe reactionary influences would be even more aggressive tbao under Plehve, in order to nip the resentment io the bud and ternty tbe maloontentt into quiescence. tsat aaaroeiy nave tne nrsi snows. 01 the Russian winter whitened tbe grave of tbe bomb's victim when, lo ! such reforms as tbe bear bas never known are being advocated and even dtoreed by Mirsky, the suocessorot Plehve, and a statesman high in (he favor of tbe vacillating Nicholas. One development alone is soffioient to mark Mirtky'e secession as foreshadowing radical re forms the reoent conference ot tbe presidents of the xemstvos, Or provin cial assemblies, wbiob adopted reeolu tioos favoring a more liberal and eqoa ble administration ot tbe government. Moreover tbe newspapers are given latitude wbioh ten years ago would have oost tbe editors tbeir lives. Tbey are allowed to boldly inveigh against tbe continuance of tbe present war and demand tbe assembling of a national convocation. In Finland, whose Russian governor Bobrikoff was assassinated aboot tbe same time Plehve met his fate, similar lenienoy is manifested and the people are nearer autonomy than tbey have been at all sinoe tbe Muscovite army beat down all opposition and set up ao alien government. All tbis Mireky bas aoeompiiened in tbe face of tbe most desperate and unscrupulous antagonism from tbe re aotionary clique at St. Petersburg, the clique formed by Plehve, saturated with his crafty guile, and aoinated by desires even more rapaoious and ad vanced than iboee wbioh animated his conduct for to Plehve at least muBt be given the credit of being honest in his persecutions. Even now tbe new min ister ot tbe interior is hampered oy constant opposition, and ihoee familiar with tbe lawless natures of toe men combatting bis policies would at no time be surprised to bear tbat he had soconmbed to that "sudden death" wbioh, in Russia, so often attacks a man whose ideas threaten the existence of the grafting moneyed class. Those conversant with aussian his tory are asking themselves if, after all, the present slacking ot the reins may not be a clever rose to plaoate tbe Russian masses until the government ean emerge from its Far Eastern pre dioament. Two decades agi these same fair promises set the Russian heart to beating high. But when tbe Turkish war was over and that peril ended, tb,6te began an era of draetio repression wbiob wholly obliterated any feelings ot cordiality between tbe an tooraoy and the masses which might have been oreated by tbe previous lib eral policy. . It may be argued though that what ever tbe outoome of the present war, the empire will be so thoroughly crip pled as to make impossible a return to tbe old iron handed conditions. Tbe firBt glimmer of light to a people who have been living nudr ground for oenturiei, may prove so intoxioating that an attempt to thrust them back Into the dark may bring tbe whole etrnoture about the ears of the perpe trators.

Bfdberry't Boat, IFMBDID 1H0WII8 BOB TBB CHAK BBB Of 00EBIB0I Bspert el Iterttary Bote. Fayetteville, N. C, Dec. 1, 1904. Mr. President and Genthmen of the Chamber of Commerce: With the end of November, 1904, tbis reorganized Chamber of Commeroe completed its first year. For several months prior to Novem ber 1903, tbeobtmber of commerce bad ceased to assemble as a body; or even to kefp up the meetings of its direotora. Tbe secretary, however, oontinued to give attention to matters of importance conneoted with the public interest, re plying to many letters addressed to the chamber of commerce; and attending also to ooriespondenoe turned over to bim, addressed to tbe postmaster and mayor ot tbe city. Although without the support and baoking ot any one in ptrtioular during this interval, the secretary was enabled to accomplish some good for tbe publio notably the establishment of the Free city and Rural Delivery of mails, wbiob has pgnren ot great comfort and eonveni enoe to the city and section, bringing employment to quite a number of peo pie and causing an annual expenditure in our midst ot $6,000 or over for tbe work. Oj the 22ad of November 1903, pub lie spirited oilizeos of tbe city in a meeting beld at that time, resolved to make tbe effort to throw new life into tbe chamber ot commerce, by giving it better support and enoouragment and by increasing its membership. At this meeting the secretary and tha officers tendered their resignation, wbiob were accepted, to take effect when others were elected. It was re solved to dispense with any fee for membership, and to remit all past does. It was further agreed that the dues per month should be 25c, except in the case ot any member who would signify bis willingness to pay a larger sum per month. About 60 persons became members, a good proportion obligating to pay more per montb than tbe regu lar amount. An election was tben en tered upon with tbe following result : Offioers W. M. Morgan, President, Jai. D McNeill, lit Vice President, B R. Hueke, 2nd Vice President, F. R. Rose, Secretary and Treasurer. Directors E J. Hale, A- L MoCaa kill, W. L Holt, J F. Harrison, A. B. Williams, T. C Williams, A. H. Slo ocmb, R L Holland, J. F. L Armfield, C. J. Cooper, J. J. Maloney, E R. Mo Kethan. In tbis way tbe newly reorganized Chamber entered npon its work; and tonight it becomes my duty to submit a statement of fioanoes as treasurer; and, as secretary, to review briefly the work attempted and acoomplished by tbe body during tbe year. The financial statement is submitted herewith, and I respectfully ask for a committee to audit same. During the year tbe regular monthly meetings of this body were duly beld, exoep twice during tbe summer from laok of quorum, and once beoanse the time of meeting conflicted with onr County Fair celebration. Tbe direo tors assembled only twioe; but it was in une of ttfese meetings That tbe public building matter was started on the right plan. I am oonvioced tbat more fre quent meetings of the directors woold be of value, and would add inter est lo the public meetings by tending to bring important matters up for action before the entire body. In the meetings of the Chamber dur ing tbe year, many matters of publio interest bave been discussed and acted npon. Good bas been aooomplished by calling attention lo matters, sooh as pnblio road improvement and other subjects. Publio expression of opinion in tbis way has been advantageous to pnblio effioers, who bave been euoour aged and stimulated in their duty by knowing and hearing ot tbe interest felt in these matters by a representa tive body of business citizens. Valuable and intereeting papers bave been read to tbe Chamber, snob as tbe one on tbe mannfaotnre of paper (and also of glasr) The former was published by order ot the Chamber, and was widely read and commented npon, calling attention to Fayetteville, N. C , as being well adapted to an in dustry of tbis kind. The Chamber invited an address from Major Hale on the Cape Fear river improvements, which will be delivered at a later time The importance of advertieing Fay etteville in every way possible bas been duly appreciated. To tbis end three editions of "Facts and Figures" have been published during the year and widely distributed over the United States; at the World's Fair, and at the Hub of the World, Beaton; and at tbe eirike center ot milling, Fall River, Mats. Thess latter being taken in person by tbe seorctary during bis reoent visit North. Tbe press of North Carolina has complemented very highly our "Faots and Figures"; and Fayetteville through these notices has been widely and fav orably advertised. It is to onr best interest that the world should know that there is such a city as Fayetteville, N. C ; and we should all endeavor to get in, and keep in, tonoh with the outside; for this means prosperity, progress and wealth 1 Uothe baoks of thousands of envel opes tbat are constantly being mailed from tbis city, attention is oalled to a few of onr most salient advantages. This expense has been met by the Chamber. The moat important matter engaging the attention ot this Chamber during the year has been tbe effort to secure a publio building for Fayetteville from the Government, to accommodate tht post effiee and federal court, wbioh it is hoped may bold its sessions tor this section in Fayetteville. A committee.' consisting of Messrs. A. H. 8locomb, K J. Hale, W. L Holt, J. D. MoNeill. A. L MoCaskill and F. R. Rose, was appointed to work np this matter and to vioit Washington In its Interest. Tbe committee was well re ceived and much enoouraged by tht FROM SOOTH AFRICA. New Way of Using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mr Arthur Chapman writing from Dur ban, Natal, Sooth Africa, say: "As a Drool that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ts a cure suitable tor old and young, I pea yon the following : A neighbor of mine had a child just over two months old. It had a very bad cough and the parents did not know what to give it. I suggested tbat II they would get a bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy and pnt some npon the dummy teat the baby was suek Ingtt would no donbt euro the child. This they did and brought abont a quiek relief and eured the baby." Thit remedy la for talc by All Druggltti. pnblio building committee. In faot, the prospect lor tnis ounaing is con. sidered very exoellent, Reoeotly tbe secretary hat prepared digrams of half a dozen eligible locations in this city for suob a building, and they have been sent to Washington on call ot the ohief architect of tbe government, Thit matter needs only to be followed up closely to be crowned with sucoess. At it was necessary from time to time to keep onr great scheme ot the canal. ization of the Cape Fear river before tbe authorities at Washington, tbis chamber invited tbe Hon. T. E. Burton, chairman of tbe river and harbor com mittee, to visit Fayetteville on his southern trip of inspection. He prompt ly accepted tbis invitation and prom ised to come it possible before tbe winter. Hon. B. B. Patterson, onr representative in oongress, was also invited to come to Fayetteville at tbe same time. He replied that he would be glad to do fo and wrote very enooora gingly of tbe status of Ibis important matter. Sinoe tben tbe ohief engineer bas reoommended an expenditure during the year ot $200000 on this work. $50 000 has already been appropriated. Ibese two amounts should complete one lock and dsm, provided it ia located near Fayetteville. Should tbis great work be fully completed within the nei'"flve years, it will be worth maw hundred tints more lo onr city tbau the oust of maintaining this chamber of oommeroe for many years to come. This chamber recently bas eeoored extra train service from tbe Atlantic Coast line. A daily train leaves Fay. etteville now every rrorning (except Sunday) and goes to Richmond, Va , returning to Fayetteville before mid night. This gives us many valuable connections with Richmond, Va., and points in tbis Btate. Eaob additional train going and coming to Fayetteville helps tbe oity tbat mooh. i neee, then, are some of tbe matters of public interest which have engaged tbe attention of tbe membeis of tbis chamber within tbe year jast ended. To assist in accomplishing tnese things, your seoretary has giveu whatever aid be conld lend. And in addition he bas written many artioles for newspapers, setting tortb tbe advantages and op portunities ot this oity, and advertising this seotion, county aud city, in every way in his power. Some weeks ago in the name of the chamber ot commeree, he extended tbe hospitalities of Fayetteville to the Ea glisb spinners who oontemplate visiting the South some time in the near future. This brought Fayetteville among other southern cities which have been 00 tbe alert to enooorage every movement calculated to place the Sooth in a posi tion to become the great maoufaotn ring center ot tbe United States.

C, by which tbe city of Fayetteville is bulletined several times eaoh day at tbe statioo at Wash ington, fifteen minutes before the out going ot southern trains. In this way attention is now called, as it never was before, to this place, which is on the diredt line south and the most promi nent oity between Petersburg, Va., and Charleston, S. C.

Nine Annual Conferences last year paid the entire assessment for foreign missions; 2,750 pastoral charges paid in lull on this claim.

Tbis step is in advance of any other denomination. Tbe oost of attendance upon this school has been reduced to a minimum. Diaa't Beach the If Bare ia Time.

De department has been dere long ago. Day have already pot out de fire, and are coming back. Et you'll wait a minute you'll see de hoee wagons come galloping by." Tbe tilenoe ot the stranger was deaf eaing. Revolntion Imminent A tore sign of approaching revolt and aeriont trouble in yonr system la nervousness, sleeplessness, or stomach upsets.
