THE MONROE JOURNAL CM BfcASLEY, I -.., Tiactday. Jamssry 10. IWS. Some of the ginners henabot U are saying that if the government gets any reports from their place next year, it will have to watch for them. It ia aafe to say that no mure pop ular a man has been inaugurated Governor of North Carolina in a long tiro, than the man who will Uke the oath of office tomorrow. IVpularity ia generally a dangerous sign, but it ia to be hoped that in this instance it ia a false one. It is said that the Russian mili tary rules require that General Stoessel, the heroic commander who was forced to surrender Tort Arthur, must go home and stand court mar tial for having surrendered. A sys tem that would perpetrate such a bar barity upon men who went through the hell that the defender of Port Arthur did, does not deserve any success stall It takes us all a good w hile to learn things. In 1898 when the smallpox first appeared in this section as an after effect of the war with Spain, everybody would run at the mere mention of it, and a great many would run as quickly at the mention of vaccination. Now the most of us have learned that vaccination is the only safe thing, but a great many are still inclined to run from it as of yore. Mr. Brodie L Duke, of the famous family of tobacco manufacturers of Durham, seems to be destined to stand before the yellow fimt lights for sometime. Nut many mouths ago he secured a divorce from his wife, who was then living in California. About three months ago he was se cretly married in New York to a Chi cago "business woman." I-ast week he was forced to leave his bride in the hotel where they were living, to be confined in a hospital in New York for inebriates, his sons having secured his confinement Now it turns out that the late bride is a kind of Mrs. Chadwiek.nml that her mar riage to Mr. Duke was in the nature of a deal in frenzied finance, and Mr. Duke says he really doesn't re member having been married at all A corresondent of the Columbia State, writing from Westover, 8.

We suggest that our great moral institution could do very much for the cause of temperance by adopting the "Undent brand exclu sively and having the mouse in each flask." Not gaudy, but certainly neat. The War. Charlotte Obserrer, Jn. nth. As was to have been expected, the offer from General Sloessel to surren der Port Arthur was received by General Nogi on Sunday, and on the night of January 1st the supposedly impregnable Russian stronghold gave up, and today the Japanese are in lull control, and some 25,(KK) so diers of the Russian empire are now on their way to Japan as prisoners of war. I he full of l'ort Arthur had been expected almost daily for months. In May last the port was entirely cut oil from communication with the outside world, and since that time thousands of lives have been sacrified in an effort to secure possession of this point, on which the Russians seemed to lay so much stress. The manner in which it held out was marvelous, and its final fall was primarily due to failure of the ammunition supply, although of course it would finally have been taken anyhow. The terms of capitu lation were readily agreed upon, and the Japanese have at last attained the object for which thousands of their countrymen gave up their lives Among the killed were two sons of General Nogi, who commanded the Japanese forces in front of Port Arthur. Tbe indications now are that the fall of Port Arthur, while perhapi the most important single event since the war opened, with the possible exception of the destruction of the Russian Port Arthur fleet, will have no immediate effect on the final out come of the contest. There are in the neighborhood of three-quarters of million men facing each other almost within a stone's throw at Mukden, and as soon at the weather permits they will doubtless begin a determined campaign. The state ment is made in a dispatch from Mukden that while the news of the fall of Port Arthur was not generally known among the Russian troops un til last Saturday, it had been suspec ted by reason of the prolonged cheer ing heard along the Japanese lines a lew day previous, thus showing that the hostile armies are almost sriiaia rifle range of each other. Oc casionally one side or the other opens a bombardment of more or less se verity, but both side are never in fighting mood at tbe same time, so that ihe firing amounts to little. Though next to nothing is said about it at this time, it is probable that both armies are strengthening their forces for a vigorous campaign as soon as mild weather sets in in Man churia. Aside from the moral effect of the ; fall of l'ort Arthur, Japan will doubt 1 less gain considerable advantage, i She can now open up Port Arthur, as she had already done Dalny, and the Third Army, excepting a small garrison, can be utilized against General Kuropatkin. The manner in which General Stoessel chose to surrender robbed the correspondents of a great oppor tunitythat of being able to tell in their best language how the place was taken by storm. There will, however, doubtless be much matter of interest regarding the fall of the fortress which will sift through later. The censorship soems to be exceed ingly strict now. and it will probably remain for mails to supply the story ! -Keep k PullinT T lk Uw at TW JeanMl : We do not know who wrote this poem, Kt cotton is six cents, and mere hauls, farmers and all classes are wearing sad facta.

Just why it was necessary to withhold the news for three days, however, is unexplained. The gov ernment which can keep its subjects thus in ignorance of w hat the whole world knows concerning their own affairs, indeed deserves the name of "desxt" But then, it must be ad mitted, that there are many people in the Czar's domains w ho are fitted for no other form of government, and therein lies the prime cause of the groat empire's weakness. Thirty Itules and Horses Burned. KK'kinirhamSm-ul.;Oi.toChirliiltOlarrr A fire occurred here early this morning appalling in its nature. The liver)" stable of M. L Hinsou was destroyed, together with over thirty mules and horses. All day the atmosphere of the town has been laden with the sickening odor of burning llesh as the charred and half burned carcasses of the poor animals lay among the smouldering ruins. The fire originated about two o'clock. When first discovered it had gained such headway that the stables in which it started could not be entered. The building was an immense wooden structure contain- inc the stables, wareroom and store of M. L. Hinson and A. W. Porter & Co., and situated in that part of tow n known as "T lie Rockets.

Guion uf New born was chosen speaker. Governor Aycock's last message to the legisla ture was a gnd one. He congratu lates the lawmakers on the excellent condition of the State's affairs, notab ly the $33'J,683 balance in the treas ury at the close of the fiscal year and the admirable working of the revenue and machinery works of the last assembly. He endorses recom mendations previously made by the Nate treasurer and the Corporation Commission as to taxation and its re adjustment. He recommends that it be made a misdemeanor to use a rail road track as a highway except to gi directly across it. Regarding the famous South Da kota bonds, the Governor expresses the belief that the bonds mav be set tled for much less than the 27,400, and the question of some adjustment of the remaining bonds of that class outstanding is commended for seri ous consideration. The Governor re views the needs of each of the State educational institutions and recom mends that provision be made for the pavment of the travelling expen ses of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, since the rail roads have declined to longer issue passes for hi in. It is recommended that all laws creating causes for divorce since The Code of 1H83, be repealed and no di vorces allowed except for scriptural causes, that SU,U(J of the earn ings of the penitentiary be appropri ated lor the establishment of a re formatory for young criminals. That no child that is over twelve years of age and under fourteen and cannot read and write shall be allowed to work in the factories, and no child under twelve be allowed to work. It is recommended that the salaries of the judges be increased to $3,500. That the Watts law be perfected and all exceptions from the operation of the law repealed. In conclusion he expresses thanks for the co-operation of all State officers and others. It is also recommended that the Governor's salary be increased to $5,000, and that the salaries of the Supreme Court judges be increased.

They have solid feet like a horse instead of sdit ooea. Some specimens of this variety of porkers were recently told dressed in the Raleigh market along with a number of others of the usual cloven toot va riety, according to the Kvening Time. Dr. Samuel V. Smiley, who lives near Benson, Johnston county, is the man who sold these freak footed swine, and in answer to a question asked by a Times represen tative be said: "These round-footed bogs are not merely freaks of nature, but were a distinct stock or breed to themselves. He had brought his first sow, he said, from Onslow county several years ago and had been breeding the variety ever since, because there was every indication that the species was exempt from hog cholera. Dr. Smi ley said that his iirst pig with round feet had been in the pen with others that died of the cholera, and yet never took it, and at that lime the disease was epidemic in that section. And from that time to this he hail never known a round-footed pig or hog to have cholera.' Cured His Tot her of Rheumatism. "My mother hat been a sufferer for many years from rheumatism," says W. H.

The farmers of this community seem determined to hold on to their cotton until the price advances if they ponsibly can. and to plant less another year.

T. iVvnard, bid farewell to this world of sorrow and went to live with Him "Who gave His life for us that through Him we might have eternal life." She had been suffering for several days with typhoid fever and died of heart fail ure. She was 18 years old and had been a member of licthel Ilaptisl church for several years. She was buried Monday at 11 o'clock at the family grave yard near Mr. W. T. Little's. She was a kind and obe dient daughter, possessed a lovely and friendly disposition and was a great favorite of all who knew her. She will be greatly missed, but may the bereaved ones find consolation in the thought tliat their loss is her eternal gain. In the language of her father, '"She is not dead she is only asleep."
