BeiDg asked how he knew the blankets were In the wagon he replied that he smelled them. Wicker and Palmer got 12 months on the public roads and Hill got 8, his honor add ing that he took off 4 months because he kept his mouth shut and did not lie.

It is estimated by parties in position to know that $3,000,000 of North Car olina moneys is spent annually for shoes in the easterti markets. Why not buy them at home and nrich our own people and state with the legiti mate profit on those goods? The Greensboro Evening Talegram says that they have but one exclusively wholesale shoe house in our state, we should patronize it and encourage the establishment of others. The people of North Carolina have sent their money to foreign markets long enough. Why continue to increase the wealth and growth of Eastern cities when we have learnedhat we can buy from home people the same goods at the same price and save the freights. Many of our merchants now buy their gro ceries, drugs and hardware at home they can just as well buy their full line at home and thereby give employment to hundreds of North Carolina people and thousands of dollars capital. We are pleased to note the success of the Simpson-Shields Shoe Co of Greens boro, and trust before many years the shoe jobbing line will.be as well rep resented in more of our cities.

Robert Dick Douglas. Feb. 22nd, '98. The Dreyfus Secret. London, Feb. 20 The Daily Tele graph will tomorrow make a spread on a story from Brussels to the effect that the French government's jealously " guarded secret in the Dreyfus affair is that a secret agreement existed between Russia and Germany, by which the former undertook to furnish Germany with all information regarding the French military arrangements, while Germany was to supply similar infor mation concerning another power, pre sumably Austria. Dreyfus became aware of this agreement and traded upon it. Wages and Cost of Living. While' ft may bo true that wages in the south are not so hig"h as they are in the north it doesn't follow that southern operatives don't live as well as the northern operatives do. In the south comparatively little clothing is required, and-the amount of fuel need ed is small. The cost of food is also less. When all of these things are taken into consideration it is probable that southern operatives live about as well as the operatives of the north. Savannah News. : v - To Cure a Cold in One Day.

What Troops In North Carolina Would be Called. An officer of the State Guard smiled at the the telegraph tender of a com pany's service to the President. That is not the way the troops go into ser vice. Suppose the President calls on the governor for say 5,000 men. The governor would order the State Guard on active duty. It is part of the Na tional Guard, the first reserve of the regular army. The regiments now have only two battalions. Members who had served with the colors, say for the past ten years, would be called on to fill the ranks and make at once each regiment of twelve companies, giving three battalions to each. This would give 4,800 officers And men in the brigade.The Naval Reserves would recruit in 4bJ same way to 500 men in, say two &ay.,ihe thing would be done. Then all that wanuldbe necessary would be to rush in a requisition for the equipments and uniform's for say 3, 000 men. The 1,800 now in the guard would, of course, be available - for in stant duty, in the state or out of it. It is a force always the command of the governor or the president. It is arm ed, clothed and equipped entirely by the United States; in that respect not eostinsr the state a cent. The value of such a force, not perhaps apparent to the mass of the people at ordinary times, becomes doubly so now. The brigade is now but a skeleton, but with a complete organization and equipment.

THE WORDS OF WASHINGTON Repeated In Mckinley's Address - Today. CULTIVATE PEACE AND HARMONY Referred to The Value of Education And The Necessity'of Maintain ing Public Credit. By Wire to The Telegram. Philadelphia, Feb. n22 President McKinley in his address to the stu dents at Pennsylvania University here today referred to the value of educa tion in a republic and the necessity for an unimpeachable public credit. Emulating Washington's idea of the necessity of having no stain of just obligations violated, he denounced the "prophets of false teachings" and repeated Washington's words about a foreign policy, "observe good faith and justice toward all nations and cultivate peace and harmony with all. Religion and morality alike en join it." BUTLER ONEWART. Says He is Totally UnfltTor the Of fice of Judge. A Washington Special to the News and Observer says: Senator Butler said today that the impression that he was half hearted in his opposition to the confirmation of Judge H. G. Ewart's nomination was erroneous. "I shall do all in my power, to defeat the nomination," said the senator to the News and Observer correspondent, "and after I present all the facts and evidence in the case I feel certain the judiciary committee will make an unfavorable report on the nomination. ; I am op posed to Judge Ewart's nomination on the ground that he is totally unfit for the high office to whieh he has been appointed. He is in no sense qualifi ed to dischage the duties imposed up on him; he has not a judicial temper ament, nor. has the experience re quired, nor ripe judgement, which is a requisite for the office. I may have some interesting data to present to the judiciary committee this week, which will cause Judge Ewart's friends Xo think a little." This is the third time that Judge Ew art's nomination has gone over, and in view to what Senator Butler says to your correspondent, the delay in con sidering the nomination is significant- y the last. Senator Butler said while here that so far from Ewart's confirmation be ing merely held up temporarily, he had good reasons to believe he would not be confirmed at all. Mr. Butler did not state the grounds of his be lief. ANOTHER "EXPLOSION" Resulting From "Rivalry" of Negro "Societies." Havana, Feb.
