v VISITOR. THE PRE : it! NUMBER 8523. RALEIGH, N. C, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 1(5 1M8. $4.00 PER YEAR I r I TIRGENT APPEAL. A Lady Writes Concerning the Destl tute Cubans In Florida. (Communicated.) An earnest christian lady, formerly of North Carolina, but now residing In Ocala, Florida, writes to a friend In Raleigh and the following extract from the letter speaks for Itself. "There Is one matter I want you to talk over with some friends and I will give you some facts. There Is great need among the Cuban refugees In Tampa. Our pastor who often visits his friend, Rev. J. V. Cova, In Tampa, gives a most touching account of the destitution of these people. Some of the men with large families, who have been earning a scanty living, are now out of employment on account of clos ed factories. Could you not get your church and ns many others as will to unite in sending a box of clothing to Mr. Cova for diwtrlbutlon ? Our pastor says they need everything. Many of them were marie to leave Havana on shore notice without anything In the line of bagnge. I know that the church es usually send missionary boxes every year, and you may think the field has been already gleaned, but I Imagine that clothing which might not be quite good enough for your missionary box would be very acceptable to these re fugecs. It will be a deed of mercy to help them. "Our pastor told of one little girl three or four years qld, quite a pet of his, who when he was there last looked so pale and thin that he en quired of Mr. Cova If she had been sick. To his horror and amaaement Mr. Cova replied, that "she had not been sick, but her father had beeen out of work for a month, and that he real ly could not procure sufficient food for his large family, that often they had only one poor meal a day. This man was in good circumstances In Havana. Of course this is only one of the many, many cases that might be given. "The people In Florida are less able to help them than almost any other State 1 imagine, and yet they are doing what they can." In answer to this appeal a number of young girls of the First Baptist church have promised to solicit clothlngamong the Haptlsts of the city, and will not the young people of the other churches do the same? The Sunday School room of the First Baptist church will be open next Wednesday afternoon (23rd) after three o'clock and any donations can be sent there. The Durham churches have forward ed several boxes, and can we not fol low their good example? M KKTING CHAMBER OF CUM -MEKCE.

Battle moved that the thunks of the Chameber be extended to J nd gfl'urnell, Chairman of the Penitentiary Bard, Cladius Dockery and Assistant Attorney General James Boyd for the interest they have taken In having the State prison here desig nated as a Federal prison. The motion was carried. Mr. II. H. Battle moved that a spe cial committee of live, with Mr. John Nichols as chairman, be appointed by the President of the Chamber to take such immediate action as shall he ne cessary for the permanent establish ment of a Federal prison here and re port to the Chameber at the next meet ing. The motion was adopted. This committee is composed of Messrs. John Nichols, R. H. Battle, A. M. McPheeters, Sr., J. E. Pogue and George Allen.

C, now in regular session, sincerely believe that the demands for such an Institution are imperative, and that the self-sacrificing and untiring effort? Dr. L. A.

"And be It also resolved, That we do hereby oemmend him and his mission of love and mercy to the philanthroulc people of our great country, as worthy of their hearty co-operation and sup port." The Chamber then adjourned. JUDGE ARM FIELD INVITED BUT DECLINED. The Vance monument In Ashevllle will be dedicated May 10th and the committee of arrangements has In vlted Senator Daniel, of Vlrgina, and Hon. R. F. Arm field, of Statesvllle. to deliver addresses on that occasion. Judge ArmnVld has been forced to de cline the invitation, as his physical condition will not admit of his making an address. This is to be regretted, as his address, were he able to deliver one, would be worthy of the man and the occasion. The Statesvllle band has offered to furniHh music at the dedication free of charre and It Is probable that Us offer will be accepted. Statesvllle Land mark. An old resident of South Greensboro says that eighteen years, ago on the 17th and 18th of March one of the big gest snows of the season fell. H says It was seventeen Inches deep by actual measurement. We trust he Is not pre dicting such & record breaker this year. Greeneooro Record. ANOTHER REDUCTION Rates for Firewood on all Roads Reduced MORGANTON OFFICE Commission Refused to Require Western I'nlon Telegraph Company to Move Their Morgan ton Office l'p Town Pearson Voted for Het lion The Railroad commission met again this morning; The first matter before the cornmls sion was the reduction of rates on firewood on all the railroads of the State. This reduction, which goes into effect Immediately, was embodied in a circular introduced by commissioner Pearson and unanimously adopted by the commission. The text of the same is as follows Circular in regard to freight rates on firewood: In car loads released, load ed and unloaded by shipper, 10 cords minimum: Ten to fifteen miles, per cord 45 cents ten to fifteen miles, per cord 45 cents. Fifteen to thirty miles, per cord 50 cents. Thirty to forty miles, per cord, Dr cents. Forty to fifty miles, per cord 60 cents. Applicable to all railroads in the State. On motion of commissioner Pearson the Southern Express Company was notified to appear at the next session of the commission and show cause why they should not be required to estab lish an up town office at Morganton. The matter which elicited the most discussion this morning was the con sideration of the petition to require the Western Union Telegraph Company to establish an up town office in Morgan- ton. Mr. Robt. C. Strong appeared for the telegraph company and argued that under the Nebraska decision the ac tion of the commission must be shown to be reasonahle. After discussion the petition for the removal of the office was denied. Chairman Caldwell and ommlsslon Abbott voting against lw petition and Commissioner Pearson for the petition. This is the first time 'a Id wet I and Pearson have devided. The discussion during Mr. Strong's argument was amusing. Mr. Strong said that the commission was both Judge and Jury and no one who pre viously expresses an opinion on a case can serve on the Jury on that case. He said that under this rule one of the commissioners. Mr. Ivaison. was dis qualified from voting in this Motan- n matter. The commission met again thisafter- noon and entered upon the consideia- tioii of the exceptions filed by the rail- ads to tlie new passenger rates pro mulgated by the commission. SUPREME COURT.

The Detachment for Fort Caswell Will Pass Through Raleigh. The detachment of troops from Fortress Monroe. Va., to be sent to Fort Caswell at Southport. will. It is learned, be carried by the Seaboai.i Air Line via Raleigh. Just when they will come is not yet known but they are expected at any time. The Goldsboro Argus says that not only were the people in that city dis appointed yesterday, but at all stations along the line of the W. & W. R.

In an article on how the troops can be transported The Baltimore News says: " 'We could transport 100,000 troops fp.m the East, using New York as basis, to Washington within 24 hours w ithout seriously inconveniencing oth er traffic." said Mr. D. F. Maroney. su perintendent of transportation of the Baltimore and OhloR allroad Company, reply to a query of a reporter for the News as to the facilities of his road to m ve troops South in the event of war between the United States and Spain. "The troops from the East would be sent to Atlanta over the Southern Railway, Atlantic Coast Line and Sea board Air Line, and if the latter could not furnish the equipment the Pennsyl vania could run its own cars and en gine: through. Troops from the inter- iot of Pennsylvania could he sent over the Western Maryland and transferred to the Norfolk nnd Western. The Western Maryland could handle about jr., oiio troops in 1M hours. None of the railroads have made any special pre parations to meet an emergency, hut should the order be given they are in position to obey it without delay. "The South : n Railway. Seaboard Ad Line. Atlantic i;i.st Line and Florida Central and Peninsula would piny Important parts in the movement i' troops and war supplies. These lines are the Southern connections of the Baltimore and Ohio anil the Pennsyl vania, and all Southbound traffic would be transferred to them at Wash ington. They would also receive con siderable traffic from their Western con nect ions." Yesterday afternoon the Fay. tt.-vMIe Observer said: "We understand that the United States government has made a c.m ttact with the C. F. and V. V. and the A. c. I,, railroads for the transporta tion of an immense quantity of Poca hontas coal to Key West ; the C. F. and Y. V. taking it from the Norfolk ind Western and delivering it to the V C.
