Grier, who is implicated in the express rob bery at Koseboro, is a MeeUenbhrof niiin as irentioned in yesterday's News, adds considerable local inter est to the affair. In his confession, Mr. Grjer says that he left the office for his home. He took the package containing the I'doO with him and locked it up in the express compa ny's safe w hich is kept in his bed room, (irier and his wife bad re tired, and were aroused between 1 and 2 o'clock by some one's rapping at the back door. Grier got up and asked who was there. A voice replied: "George Mc Lamb," and added that Mr. 0. P. W hite was worse and he wanted to send off a telegram. Grier replied that he did not recognize the voice of McLamb, and told the man to go round to the front door and hand the telegram in through a crack in the door. The man went round and taking hold of the door-knob, turned it, opening the door, which was not locked. He walked in and presented a pistol at Grier, telling him and Mrs. Grier he would kill them if they made anj alarm, and demanded all the-money in the house. Grier replied that he had no money. "But you have," said the man. "I want that $050 which you got to night, and you must give it up " The burglar was masked, and told Grier to be in a Mirrv or he would be shot through the window by con federates outside. Grier pretended to be greatly frightened, expecting to he shot at any moment. The safe was near the door, and not valuing his life in money, he opened the safe and gae j the package of money to the burglar, who immediately took his departure, enjoining Mr. and Mrs. Grier not to put their heads on t of the house that night if they didn't want them blown off. Grier seized his revolver as soon as the man went out, and going to the back door, fired twice at random. Mr. Ed Britt who lives near by was aroused and upon find ing out the cause of the alarm went and waked up a number of other people of the village. WHAT DELAIKD UKSPATCHE? HAVE TO 'AT. JammKii Atunrrd that Thing Were Ripe for Kevolt and wan Promised Support. Loxdox, Jan. 7 Delayed dis patches from Johannesburg continue to arrive. The dispatcnes date from January first. Following is a synop sis gleaned: The Uitlanders and foreign residents for a long time complained of the treatment they were subjected to by the Boers. The former while far outnumbering the latter, haw been compelled to con tribute practically all the revenue of the Republic, vet have no represen tation or voire in the government. The Boers claim that because the; Uitlanders, mainly Englishmen, far ! outnumber Uieni, the main argument ' is against giving them representa i tion, which means that the Boers J will be outvoted in making the re- i public a British colon v. Thus, ill j feeling yrew. until intimations made to Dr. Ja'neson, administrator of the territoi'v. that the British in Trans vaal wi re ripe-for revolt and that if he take the iniatiative, the Uitland would ri-e in support of hun. Jameotj pi- pared for it raid upon Johannesburg, mustering seven hun dred men, and plenty of ammuni tion, but there was little food on the Transvaal border. When the right moment arrived, a letter was sent him by the Uitlanders of Jahannes burg, urging him to go the assist ance of his compatriots who were in danger at the hands of the Boers then riding about the country in a threatening manner.

Mr. Ransom says a great deal of American capital is being investtd in Mexico and that a large number of American citizens are engaging is business there. The best of feeling prevails between Mexi- cans ana Americans, ana .Mexico is j generally very prosperous ''The Diaz administration has been I making unusual efforts to advance ! the republic on the high road of sub stantial prosperity," said Mr. Ean- som, "and these efforts have turned but successfully in every respect. iW'ith the government like the present, Mexico has a great future before her. Commercial relations between the United States and Mexico are ex panding on a constantly widening basis, and the increase in commerce is so large that it is ut terly impossible for any one to make an estimate of what it will be in the future. Everywhere I go I find the most friendly feeling expressed for Americans, and I like Mexico and the Mexicans." Regarding the Venezuelan question and the probable course ot action which would be pursued by Mexico in case of war with England, Mr. Ransom preferred not to commit him self. He says he has constantly im proved in health since his spell of sickness, wnioh occurred in consequ ence of the change of air from that of Washington to the n oretonid at mosphere of Mexico. His leave of absence expires on the 10th of the present month. An laoe of 8100,000,000 To Ba Dated February 1 Terms for the Galdcnca of Bidders.

London, Jan. 8 The gravity of J, T.- , .. . . tne political crisis is increasing in stead of diminishing. The attitude of Emperor William towards Eng land in the matter of Jameson's free booting expedition, seems to have been deliberately planned. The Transvaal incident was a pretext seized upon by the Emperor 'in order to enter the lield as an active oppo nent. England's policy of aggran dizement in Africa and her misun derstanding with Ashanta, to get j her with her support in Italy s war fare against Abyssinia, is believed to have been the irritating feature which finally induced his Majesty to snow his nana, lhis, while a sam pie of the reports circulating, shows t ie drift of the wind and has served tj incense the British to a degree not witnessed since the war with Russia.

WITH THE DAWN 0 F Charlotte's New Enterprise. ror several clays, past wagons loaded with persimmon logs have been seen going through Charlotte. They are for the new shuttle block factory, just skirted at Dilworth by Mr. Core1. The building is a crude one, but a better one will soon be built. He has opened a market for. persimmon and dogwood, and has already got in several car loads, in addition to the wagon supply. THE NEW YEAR THE ORE AT LEVER OF BEE HIVE! Loin'e has al readv appearance of Mr. COPY ,8 WILL SLIP THROUGH YOUR FIV GER8. Don't let our $2 shoe escape jou. It is the thing to wear. You wilt get moie solid comfort out of it to the square inch than out of any other shoe to the' square foot at anything near the price, and tal'MDg of thft square foot, it does the square thing by he foot. It isn't an ex pgeratioh 10 say that its cheapness is phenomenal. Every consideration of economy justifiVs its purchase, ai d ev ery consideration of comfort justifies its use. We i. ever recommend a shoe that will do more to recom tiend itself. It wout try jou much to try it. A la-ge stock Umbrellrs, Trunks, Valises and Handbags, always on hand, A. E. Eankin & Bro just oi 'Ou:i:l at Cent; IK thus estimates the average weight of a bale at 400 pounds. This is far below the market. Estimating the bales at 5b0 pounds it costs just ex actly cents a pound to make the cotton. As proof of our figures the editor of the Wilmington Keview visited the Custom House and took the average weight of cotton export ed through that port for the month of .October and November, 1894 and 1895 and we found that the average weight of the bale is just 495 pounds. The same bale, when it left the farm, must have weighed not less than 500 pounds, for as everybody knows cotton shrinks and dopreciates in weight. If the Commissioner is right in his estimate of the 22 50 as the av erage cost of the bale then the cost per pound is certainly not more than 4Jcents. This may be a revelation to some but it is a fact nevertheless. One Million for Export. New Yoek, Jan. 3. Lazard & Freres have ordered one million dol lars in gold for export tomorrow.
