'An Interesting Visitor. T Mr JoVn A. Cameron, of Spout Springs, who was in the city last week, la in many respects a remanta ble man, He was 84 years of age Sat ' urday, and Is as active and lively as a boy. He 'was never married, and ' - has four sisters living, who range in age from 68 to 77 years.

Inspeotora Make Another Effort to Recover Money. From Friday's Dally. . Having failed to discover the crim inal who stole the three thousand dol lars from the Fayettevllle post office, Messrs. H. C. H1U and Hal, B. Mosby, the two post office Inspectors, who were sent here from Washington to make a final Investigation into the matter,' (and stating themselves that they have come to the conclusion that the criminal will 'probably never be discovered) have adopted another me. thod, and last night they made a de mand on postmaster McCasklll that he pay the $3,000, claiming that the loss was due to carelessness in the registry department of his post office, and that, under the law he Is responsible.-.. " ; ' .. '' - Mr. McCasklll refused to comply with the demand, ' stating that the registry department was not conduct ed In a careless manner, and that It was unfair to hold him responsible when all the clerks In his office were under the civil, service, and that he did not think there was authority for such a demand- : The inspectors stated that unless the demand was Immediately complied with, the matter would be reported to the Postmaster General. . - This is Just about as matters stand this afternoon. The Post Office Robbery. From Saturday's Dally. . There were no further developments in the Investigation into the robbery of the $3,000 registered package from the post office here In November, 1906. Matters remain about as they did yes terday afternoon. Messrs. Hill and Mosby told an Observer reporter last night that they Intended to continue the Investigation. They had a num ber of witnesses yesterday and to-day before them, though we learn little new light was thrown' on the matter. The Wilmington Star of this morn ing says: t '. "Parties who arrived In the city last night on the A. & T. train brought news of a rather sensational occur rence in Fayettevllle yesterday when a couple of postofflce Inspectors who had been sent out from Washington to endeavor to unravel the mystery surrounding the theft of a $3,000 pack age of currency from the mails there some months ago, appeared before Postmaster McCasklll, of Fayetteville, and made the unusual demand upon him that .he make good the loss of the package on the ground that the affairs of the registry department in the of fice were conducted so loosely as to make the theft of the package possi ble. ' "The story of the unusual demand upon the Fayetteville postmaster Is thus ,told In yeserday afternoon's edi tion of the Observer: D (Here follows the story.) "A long distance telephone message to the Star last night from Fayettevllle stated that there had been no further developments rn the case but that the people were rather indignant at the unusual demand made upon their post master by the two emissaries from Washington and the affair is likely to be taken up with the Department." ANOTHER VIEW OF COTTON SITU ATION. Editor 'Observer: Captain ' McNeill's advice to the farmer as to holding his cotton is prompted by the very best motives. He Is anxious to see the cotton farmer realize as much as possible for his Droduct We all are. The prosperity of the South and of this section espec ially depends largely upon the ability of the producer to sell his cotton at renumeratlve .prices. " It Is certainly the Interest of the writer that it should fetch the highest possible price. But In our zeal to bring about this happy consummation, we should be careful not to mislead the farmer. He should have both sides of the situa tion so that he can decide for himself. An a general Dronosltlon, based upon years of experience, we find that fully nlnetv ner cent of the farmers wno hold cotton above ; ten cents lose money. Everybody knows that. Time and again Just such a situation as la aunnosed to exist to-day Is urged upon the farmer as a reason why he should hold his cotton. He Is told that the crop Is 'short there will be a cotton famine In the summer that the mills will he. tumbling over each other ln a futile effort to lay In their raw ma terial and that the price or cotjon yim be out of sight. As a result, many hold, and a great majority lose.: It Is fni there are occasional! exceptions and this year may be one of them, hut the sensible, conservative tanner who can realize 1014 cents to 11 for his cotton will win out in the end. Captain McNeill, in comparing this year's December' ginners' report, of 8, sftft nm hales with 8.600.000 bales of the same month In 1905, says the final crop o fthe latter year was tmly 10, 495,000 bales. If he will examine the records more closely, he will find that the total crop of 1906 was 11,345,988 bales, and that the acreage of that year was 26,999,581 aa against 32,066, 000 acres for this year, So the crop conditions are not after all so "simi lar to 1906." , It Is very unfortunate that our farm ers will not hold their cotton, when It Is low and ought to be held, but wait for such times as this when .good prices prevail and then store it away with all the chances against them.. This Is merely a word of caution and the writer may be entirely wrong, but In any event he does not wish .to be classed as a "MOBS-BACK." - Death of Mrv John W. Covington. Rockingham Rocket!. ' . Mr. John W. Covington, one of the most prominent, useful and' best liked men In th wuntyte.flle4t,!lei: dence here Sunday evening of acute Indigestion 1 after an Illness of two days. Mr. Covington was born July 30th, 1840, at the country residence of his father. He enlisted ln the Confeder ate Army in 1861, and until 1865, was a brave and gallant soldier. In November, 1868, he was married' to Miss Mary C. Steele, the oldest daugh ter of Mr. and. Mrs. Robert L. Steele. His wife predeceased him. He Is sur vived by six children: Mrs. G. P. En twlstle, Mr. L. S. Covington, Misses May, Faith and Elna Covington, and Mr. J. W. Covington, Jr. ' ' Mr, Covington was one of the mem bers of the pld firm of Covington, Everett & Co., composed of Messrs. E. P Covington, W. I. Everett, Ste phen Webb and J. W. Covington. This firm did an Immense business through out Richmond and adjoining counties. After the dissolution of the above named firm, Mr. Covington, engaged ln the mercantile business In his own name and conducted it with marked success. He leaves a large estate. Mr. Covington was a member of .the Board of County Commissioners and held other offices of honor and trust. He was an exceedingly affable and pleasant gentleman and was apparent ly in the best of health up to his last Ill ness. He was burled at Leak Ceme tery, the services being conducted by Rev, Joslah Crudup, assisted by "Dr. W. H. Moore. Numerous friends from the town, country and other points ln the State were present testifying to the high esteem in which they held the deceased. Numerous .floral offer ings, gifts' of bereaved friends, were sent. Mr. Covington was a gentle man of universal popularity and his hold in the affections of the rank and file of the people was very strong. Governor Glenn Asks the Secretary of the Navy to Designate Cape Look- out as the Place Where the Sliver Service 8hall be Presented to the Cruiser "North Carolina." Governor Glenn has written the fol lowing letter to Secretary Metcalf: "To the Secretary of the Navy, Wash ington, D. C. "Sir: The State of North Carolina appropriated a certain amount of money to give a silver service to the armored crusier named for the State. Our people are exceedingly anxious to have the presentation of this service take place ln the waters of our own State. At Cape Lookout on our east ern coast is a natural land-locked harbor depth at least forty feet Into which the cruiser could enter with perfect safety. Our people would then be able, by means of steamers and small boats to go down the river and sound and b present at the cere monies In connection with the presen tation, ot , the service, and as Gover nor of the State I write to ask and urge that you take the matter up with the proper authorities, and If you can posslhly do so, grant our. request for the cruiser to be In North Carolina waters when this presentation takes place. Our people feel very much in terested in this vessel; its name makes them -love it, and if it could receive this service from our State in our own harbor, it would create a most friendly spirit, not only to this parti cular vessel, but to the entire navy. "Again urging you to accord us this kindness, I am, with great respect, "Yours very truly, "R. B. GLENN, "Governor of North Carolina." PREMIUMS AWARDED. By Cumberland County Agricultural Society. The premium list of the Cumberland County ' Agricultural Society has for some time past made them liable to have to pay a premium list total ot from six to seven hundred dollars. Tbls, of course, is small, but we hope to be able to Increase it as the Asso ciation becomes in better shape from a financial standpoint However, the Society Management desires to call attention .to the fact that but few pre miums are competed for, mainly by the agricultural people for Instance, it was a great disappointment to the Society that 'no one competed for Its ten dollar rilze for the largest ac reage of uulton. The many premiums thus not com peted for reduce the amount to be paid out as following statement shows to be less than two hundred dollars.

' Sheriff Watson yesterday captured his tenth blockade still, and the small est of the number, a twen.ty-flve-gallon capacity one. Accompanied by Deputy Sheriffs J. C. Culbreth and A. J. Patethe Sheriff made a decent on Little River town ship, and on Buffalo Creek, about 20 miles from Fayettevllle, the party came up on the moonshine outfit which was boldly set up along side the road, without much pretense . at secrecy. When the party approached a man was seen to pick up the cap and -make off. . He soon dropped the cap, how ever, and ln his flight also lost his bat, which one of the deputies, be fore : leaving the scene, kindly left hanging to a limb of a tree, so its owner could recover It. . - The still was fired up and ln opera tion when found. Four hundred gal lons of beer was destroyed, a Jug of whisky confiscated and the still brought to this city. FOUND NOT GUILTY. Man Charged With Burglary.

Yesterday afternoon Township Con stable Moore arrested Sam Allen, col ored, on a warrant charging him with burglary, ln committing .the crime.

Cleveland to Re-appear in Politics. By telegraph to the Observer. New York, Dec. 18. There is the possibility of former President Cleve land making his re-appearance ln the political arena at least to the extent of acting as a delegate to the Demo cratic National Convention at Denver. A movement is now on foot to make Cleveland one of four delegates at large, from New Jersey. Behind the simple announcement that he may be elected , it is alleged here to-day to be a political plot of great significance. Those who are opposing the nomina tion of Bryan are said to be backing the movement to send Cleveland to the convention. If he appears as a delegate he will act as spokesman of the anti-Bryan contingent. FAYETTEVILLE MARKETS REVISED DAILY. COTTON. Reported by Charles Halgh.
