About the funniest thing we have
seen lately happened Saturday night.
A young man going home in the rain,
whistling "Rastus" "to beatthe band"
lost his umbrella and did not find it
out until he started in his front door
and thought of letting it down.
The tobacco sales at the Anchor
warehouse are getting better weekly.
The offerings last week were light but
prices held up well.
The next attraction at the opera
house will be the Edison Projectoscope
and Comedy Co Ernest Llnwood,
who is favorably remembered here,
will be with them. Ernest himself can
give you your money's worth, to say
nothing of the kinetoscopic vie as of
the land and naval battles between the
Spaniards and the Americans.
Dont be ready to say hard things
about us, if you should fail to get
your Telegram tonight, just at the
minute you expect it, for it will take a
few nights to get the carriers started.
Mr. J. T. Webster, of Carthage, has
opened his jewelry store and repair
shop, in Siceloff and Rothrock's gro
cery store. Mr. Webster is a man of
fifteen years experience in this line.
He will move his family about the
first of the year. We give them a
hearty welcome.
Mrs. E. D. Steele left this morning
for Richmond, to visit relatives.
Superior Court Opens.
Guilfori superior court opened this
morning, Judge E W. Timberlake
presiding. The judge's charge to the
grand jury was short and clear cut,
occupying the jury's attention but lit
tle more than fifteen minutes. The
judge did not follow the usual form of
enumerating crimes, but merely cau
tioned the grand jury to act according
to law whether they considered it just
or unjust.
Sheriff Gilmer was assisted in the
discharge of his duties by Ex-Sheriff
Cook. Clerk of the Court Nelson was
perfectly familiar with his work, hav
ing been almost raided in that office.
Mr. Ragan, the retiring clerk, will
stay in the office until after court is
over, as it will require several days
for him to settle with his successor.
There are now ninety-three cases on
the criminal docket and this means
that the number will reach a hundred
before the end of the week. This is
about the usual number.
The New Pastors.
The new pastors of West Market
Street and Centenary churches, Revs.
J. C. Rowe and T. E. Wagg, preach
ed to their congregations for the time
yesterday. Owing to the disagreeable
weather the congregations were not
large, but those who braved the rain,
wind and mud were well paid for the
temporary discomfort in going to and
from the churches. Rev. F. H. Wood,
the new presiding elder, preached a
good sermon to the West Marke con
gregation last night. Greensboro
Methodism is in safe hands,
Westminster's New Pastor.
We are pleased to announce that
Rev. C. E. Hodgin, of South Carolina,
has been called to the pastorate of
Westminster Presbyterian church this
city. This action was consumated at
a congregational meeting held in that
church yesterday. We shall have
more to say of him later. From what
we can learn of him now, however, we
congratulate the good people of that
church.
"I want to get a pair of heavy tan
shoes just like you sold Mr. A and
Mr. B" That's the kind of talk we
hear almost any day, and that's the
way every pair we sell of these popu
lar shoes brings in more customers for
them. Yesterday we had a very care
ful customer, one who looks pretty
closely after the dollars. Wesnowed
him through our line of shoes, but he
concluded to look around before buy
ing looked the town over, came back
and bought of us. That's pretty good
recommendation for our shoes isn't it?
Just now we have some very special
values in men's heavy tan and black
box calf and vici kid shoes at $2.25 ,
$2.50 and $3.00. If you are going to
buy a pair of shoes soon, you ought
to see these. Thacker & Brockmann.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE,
Read Before the Senate and House
Today
MANY THINGS ARE DISCUSSED.
Treats Largely of the Incidents of
the Spanish War and the Re
sultant Complications.
By Wire to Thk Tklkgram.
Washington, Dec. 5 The following
is a complete synopsis of the presi
dent's message read before congress to
day :
To the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives : Notwithstanding the ad
ded burdens rendered necessary by the
war with Spain, our people rejoice in
a very satisfactory and steadily in
creasing degree of prosperity, as is
evidenced by the largest volume of
business ever recorded. Labor in all
fields of industry is more amply re
warded. REVENUE LEGISLATION.
The revenue legislation enacted by
the present congress has increased the
receipts of the treasury to the amount
estimated by the authors and the
finances of the government have been
successfully administered, (its credit
advanced to the first rank, while its
currency has been maintained at the
world's highest standard.
MILITARY SERVICE.
The military service under our com
mon flag for a righteous cause has
strengthened the national spirit, and
served to cement more closely frater
nal bonds between every section of the
country. In my last message full con
sideration was given to the question
of the duty of the government toward
Spain and the Cuban Insurrection as
being by far the most important prob
lem with which it was then called up
on to deal. Considerations were then
advanced and an exposition of views
therein expressed, which disclosed my
sense of the extreme gravity of the
situation, notwithstanding Spain's
promise of plans to suppress the in
surrection in Cuba.
REVIEW OF THE WAR.
The insurrection continued and there
was no alternative, except the physi
cal exhaustion of either combatant in
sight when the Maire was blown up
last February. The suspicious nature
of thathorror, which stirred the na
tion's heart already touched by pre
ceding events in Cuba, didn't move
the people to instant and desperate re
solve, but they patiently awaited the
finding of the court of inquiry. These
matters convinced the people that a
crisis was at hand which needed but a
brief note to congress of the need for
preparation for the emergency, where
upon that body appropriated fifty
million dollars for national defence.
The outbreak of the war found the
nation unprepared. The message here
refers to the efforts to bring about
diplomatic negotiations, adoption of
the ultimatum, withdrawal of Spanish
minister, Woodford's final ultimatum
demanding the relinquishment of Cuba,
its refusal, Cuba blockaded April 22,
the call for volunteers, the prompt re
sponse, the additions" to the navy of
one vessel by purehase, one presented,
one leased, chartering of the St. Paul,
St. Louis, New York and Paris, cre
ating an auxiliary navy, the prompt
organization of the signal service,
which performed great service, the
provision of congress July 13th for a
popular bond loan; then follows a
brief narration, chronologically, of
al engagements and bombardments,
commending special acts of bravery.
Summary of total casualties:
Officers killed, 23; privates, 257; offi
cers wounded, 113; privates wound
ed, 1,464. In the navy 17 were
killed, 67 wounded and one
died from the result of wounds. Total
loss, 1,668 killed and wounded. We
didn't lose a gun, fort, transport or
ship, except the Merrimao, and no
prisoners. The message praises the
Red Cross and remembers our obliga
tions to the divine Master for his
watchful care and guidance for which
the. nation makes reverential acknowl
edgments. TERMS OF PEACE.
Reviews Spain's note inquiring the
terms of peace which is announced
substantially as per the protocol. Al
so Spain's vain and inexplicit sug
gestion which was rejected, and M.
Cambon's final authorization to sign
the protocol, the suspension of hostil
ities and appointment of the peace
commissioners, whose" negotiations he
is hopeful will soon enable him to lay
before congress a definite treaty direct
from the government themselves. It
is important that our relations and
people be the most friendly and com
mercial relations close and reciprocal
Until complete tranquillity and a sta
ble government prevails military oc
cupation will be continued.
THE N1CARAGUAN CANAL.
With the exception of Spain, our
entercourse with the great family of
nations is cordial. The close of the
year finds most of the issues that nec
essarily arise from the complex rela
tions of the sovereign states adjusted,
or nearly so. The Nicaraguan canal
commission has nearly completed its
report upon the feasibility and the
cost of the construction of the canal.
That trie construction of such a high
way is now more than ever indispen
sable to that ready inter-communication
with the eastern and western sea
boards demanded by the annexation
of Hawaii, prospective expansion,
our influence and commerce in the Pa
cific, that our policy more than ever
calls for its control by this govern
ment, which I doubt not congress will
appreciate, and wisely act upon.
EVENTS IN CHINA.
The United States has not been an
indifferent spectator of the extraordi
nary events transpiring in China,
passing the portions under the oontrol
of the various European powers. But
the prospect of our vast commercial
interests there will not be prejudiced
through any exclusive treatment of
the obviated need of this country be
coming an actor upon the scene of the
prize, before the senate reviews the
steps leading to its signature "doesn't
discuss the future of the government's
new possessions which will come as a
result of the war. Such discussion
will be appropriate 'after the treaty
has be. n ratified, meantime until con
gress has legislated otherwise it will
be our duty to continue military gov
ernments.
RELATIONS WITH BRITAIN.
Our relations with Great Britain
continue the most friendly. The pro
tection of Americans and their inter
ests in Spain by diplomatic and con
sular representatives of Britain elicits
the highest commendation. It will
give me especial satisfaction if I am
authorized, to communicate to you a
favorable conclusion of the pending
negotiations with respect to Canada.
Reviews the acts of oongress annex
ing Hawaii, the admirable rulers of
Hawaii, transfer of the island, the con
tinuance in office of the former civil,
judicial and military powers, etc.
Here the president refers to the pro
posal of the czar for a reduction of
the vast military establishments, and
his readiness to participate in the con
ference. We desire, in common with
the most civilized nations, to reduce to
the lowest possible point, the damage
sustained in time of war.
He suggests that congress author
ize the executive to correspond with
the principal martime powers with a
view to incorporating into the law of
civilized nations the exemption of all
private property at sea, except con
traband of war, from capture or des
truction by belligerents.
Then follows estimates of govern
ment receipts for the fiscal year ending
June 30; also expenditures, amount of
money in the treasury, etc. On ac
count of the lateness of the hour we
omit much of the message at this
point.
After discussing many things vary
ing in interest the president recom
mends that he be authorised to enlist
a hundred thousand men in the regu
lar army. ' Several department re
ports will be laid before you and they
will give in detail the conduct of offi
cers of the government during the past
year and discuss many questions upon
which congress may feel called upon
to act.

T TO THE
Scenes In Washington Enacted
On Sunday.
SHORT SESSION OF CONGRESS.
It Is Likely That The Grinding Out
of Bills Will Begin Early
In Both Houses.
By Cable to the Tklbgbam.
Washington, Dec. 5 -The scenes in
cident to the opening of a session of
congress were enacted Sunday. The
trains which arrived brought the
statesmen to the capital city from all
directions, and the hotels are filling
up with congressmen, office seekers,
who are always on hand at the capi
tol building when congress meets, and
also persons who are here merely for
the purpose of being present to wit
ness the opening proceedings, which
will be decidedly uninteresting, and
monotonous. As this is the opening
of the short session, the usual stirring
incidents preliminary to an organiza
tion of the house of representatives,
are, of course, lacking, and the only
interest felt is in the annual deliver
ance of the president, which will be
made public shortly after congress
assembles. Of course, no one is ex
pected to pay any attention to the
reading of the message by the clerks
of the two houses, for it is usually the
signal for an emptying of the galler
ies, Jand the departure of members J
from the floor. Most of the senators
and representatives prefer to read the
president's message by the quiet of
their own firesides, where they can the
better understand its purport and sug
gestions.
In both houses after the speaker's
gavel, and the vice-president's gavel
fall, Jand the respective houses are
called to order, members who have
been elected to fill vacancies will pre
sent themselves, and take the oath of
office. The most interest is felt in Mr.
Simon, of Oregon, who comes to take
the seat from the state in the senate
which has remained unoccupied, owing
to the failure of the Oregon legisla
ture to elect, up to within the last
month.
It is likely that the grinding out of
bills will begin early in both houses,
and the real work of the session will
not be long delayed. After the read
ing of the message no business will be
attempted in either house, but an ad
journment will take place. It is like
ly that during the present week in both
the senate and house, in a measure,
the business will be allowed to arrange
itself, until Thursday, when the Sen
ate, at least, and probably the house
also, will conclude to take an adjourn
ment until Monday.
The prospects Sunday evening seem
ed good for a rough day today at the
opening of the session, which it is
hoped may not prove to be the oase,
as it would disappoint thousands of
persons who wish to get into a big
crowd to witness an uninteresting and
tedious proceeding. Yesterday the
rain fell in torrents upon both the
just and unjust statesmen, which they
did not seem to relish.
Although the North Carolina dele
gation does not seem to be in a hurry
about getting to Washington, most of
them will be here by noon. It was re
ported that both Butler and Pritchard
will be on hand. White is here, as is
also Pearson.
Col. W. A. Turk, of the Southern
Railroad, and who is a North Caro
linian, claiming the state as his home,
was among the heavy, distinguished
and popular men of the national cap
ital who had the very great honor of
attending one of the famous dinners
for which the famous Gridiron Club is
noted. Col. Turk says he had an ex
cellent time, and enjoyed the speeches
and dinner, but like most of the gvests
he enjoyed the dinner most.
Col. and Mrs. Lindsay Morehead,
of North Carolina, have returned to
Washington for the winter, having
closed their home in the state. They
are now occupying the residence of
Mr. and Mrs. Curry, on M street,
northwest. Col. Morehead and his
wife, who is very popular among
southern members of Washington so
ciety, on account of her gracious and
charming ways, took a prominent part
in social festivities last season.
Mrs. Zebulon B. Vance, has re
turned to Washington from the moun
tains of North Carolina, where she has
a handsome country seat, to spend the
winter. She has as her guests her son
and daughter-in law, Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Martin, of North Carolina.
Among North Carolina people in
the city are Charles N. Jenks, of Ash
ville; F. A. Marnier; Mrs. C. W.
Morgan, and Mrs. T. S. MoMullin.
Among the congressional arrivals
at the Metropolitan Hotel Sunday,
were Hon. Patrick Henry, of Missis
sippi, accompanied by R. V. Harvey,
and representative Maddox, of Ga.
Representative Latimer, of South
Carolina, arrived late Saturday night
and went to the St. James Hotel.
A NEW PAPER
To Be Established By the North
Carolina Conference.
Special to the Telegram.
Elizabeth City, Dec. 5 The report J
w wuiuium ju uuu&o aim period
icals, which provides for the estab
lishment of a paper for the North Car
olina, conference, passed the confer
ence unanimously. The report also
provides-for a meeting of the joint
commission not later than Dec. 17.
The balloting for editor of the new
paper resulted in the election of Rev.
Dr. T. N. Ivey, who received 126
votes, R. B. John 3, and N. M. Wat
son 3.
MANY NEW NOVELTIES.
For The Holiday Season at W. B.
Farrar's Son, Jeweler.
A Telegram reporter called at the
pretty jewelry store of W. B. Farrar's
Son this morning and was shown many
of the beautiful lines of new and at
tractive novelties just being opened up
and added to the stock. The prices
quoted simply paralyze anything we
have heretofore seen.,
There is a fine display of jewelry
suitable for presents, everything con
ceivable in watches, clocks, cut glass
and solid siverware, cuff buttons,
scarf pins, pungents but it is impos
sible to enumerate. It is necessary
for you to visit the establishment to
get even an idea of the completeness
and beauty of the stock.J
Another thing we were impressed
with and that is the grade of eoods
carried. It is no longer necessary to
send to New York for fine jewelry or
ware. Mr. Farrar has all grades from
solid gold and silver down to first
class plate, and as we remarked be
fore the prices will astonish you.
