President Cleveland held a public reoeption Monday and it is estimated that he had 8,000 callers. He spent nearly the whole day shaking bands with the vat crowd that streamed through the Bast room.' MR. Cleveland is the first man who ever packed his wardrobe and tras.iud got out of the White il )U.-te, time of lease being up, who t-ver returned to take possesion and nop ik again.

Secretary Gresham will celebrate his 60th birthday on the 17th inst., St. Patrick's day in the morning, regardless of the fact, that the Republicans have been abusing him like sixty ever since he accept ed the portfolio of State in Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet.' The newspapers find abundant occupation for ex-President Harri son. He is ta go dackhnnting on the Kankakee River. He is to resume the practice of law at once in Indianapolis. He is to lecture at the Stanford University. There is much anxiety about vessels at sea.

Everybody who has a true ser se ot right or propriety 'ill ap prove the adoption of a resolution by the Giand Army Encampment of Pennsylvania, Monday, that the -nMeti roll shall be made a roll of hoiior. In taking this action the Grand Army has shown itself Imbued wi'h a proper degree of self-respect, as well as a regard for the public treasury. Washington Star, Ind. at TnE lt mefting of President Harrison's cabinet took place at thd usual hour To dar. All of the members were present and at the conclusion of half an hour's con ference, the President arose and in a few words, bade them good by. He thanked them for the support they had always given him and attributed much of the success of his administration to their wise counsel', faithful services and devotion to the country's highest good. He thanked them for the personal good will they bore him, and wished for eaoh one happiness and success in all their undertak ings. He then shook hnds with each in turn, and in a voice which betrayed emotion, bade them good by. "HE WILL tJO SLOW." They tell us that ;Mr. Cleveland will go-slow iumaking Federal appointments. This is eminently proper. Hi- first concern, was the seliction of a C .binet, and he is represented as having given little thought to other pot-itious of public trust, confidence and emolument. Hnwftvnr various ranv be individual opinions, the public accepts the President's selection of bis cabinet as judicious. It certainly composed of men of high personal character who will faith fullv and aoH oerforn. the duties j w a of their respective positions. A little while ago it was said that foreign ministers aud consuls were sending in their resignations, so as to allow Preident Cleveland an opportunity to appoint represen tatives abroad of his own choosing If thin information is carrect. it will be the duty of the Administra tion to fill these positions without unnecessary delay but we trust that he will take time to consider the claims of such Democrats as Thomas F. Bayard If there is any unfinished business that Mr. Lincoln has in charge, which he alone is able to conduct to a suc cessful issue, it will be well enough to allow him to remain at the court of St. James until the crisis is past, but in the absence of any such con dition, his coming should be the occasion of universal rejoicing rejoicing on the part of his friends because he comes back to them, crowned with honors, to enter upon the enjoyments -of home comlorts and the felicities of domestic lite, and on the part of the public at large on account of the opportunity it affords the President of appoint ing a minister to England who is in full Bympatby with the Adminis tration. Certainly go slow. Slow enough to learn the merits and qualifica tions of Democrats who for a quarter of a century have Btood in the f nil blaze of a meridian sun wihout revealing a single personal blemish or exposing to view one heterodox political sentiment. Mexico is a turbulent state.' It is constantly rocked by political revolutions, but we know of no international complication requir ing the longer presence of our present minister at the Mixican capital. There ts absolutely noth ing in Americo Mexican affairs that cannot be safely trusted to the management of Ex Gov. Gray or Major Robbins. So it is with the rest of the world. Amencau interests must be protected wherever the sun shines, but it is well to pause long enough to consider whether it will not be safe to place these interests in the hands of Democrats. The delivery of "an open air speech for the space of thirty minutes in the face of such a March wind as that which blew on Saturday in Washington was an ordeal involving a degree of per sonal risk which neither custom nor exigency should sanction.- And great as was the risk incurred by the President, it was shared by the multitude who stood listening to his words. Pnea nonia rides on the wings of the March winds; and if the date of inauguration cannot be changed to a less inclement season, the exercises might, at the least, be held under cover. Rec ord. According to figures furnished by tha Paris correspondent of the "New York Herald" the great powers of continental Europe hold as war reserve fuuds a sum aggre gating over $ 1.300,000,000. Of this France his 400,000,000, Germany $300,000,000, and Russia $125,000, 000 Tbee vast amounts of treasure are permanenlv with drawn from the channels of indus try and commerce, and serve only as a sort of insurance to those iu mitlioritj ;ig;i'U(-t the day ol international ntrife. It im mnnzine that the surplus funds of civ I zed nations can be 'ban stored awy to be nsed in pro otiug the dread havoc ol war.

That lesson is the will be because I deen it a public absolute necessity of raising home duty which I ought to discharge. JL . L -,. At that time there will be many matters of public importance to demand my presence here." " - aiB. t,LKL.BD uaoinet neio its first meeting Tuesday. Among the matters discassed ' were Ha waiian annexation, the financial situation and the appointment of assistants to the Secretaries. In the last named matter Mr. Cleve land desired his secretaries to go slow. IT is said that the mamerons canning factories being erected throughout West Tennessee will, to a great extent, reduce cotton production, and build np trnck (arming and the fruit industry. SETTLED. Our earlier articles on the inau gural were based upon imperfect reports ol the address. In its entirety it is splendid. We took issue with the supposed position of President Cleveland on Civil Service reform, but it is now evident that his purpose is to ad minister the law as he fiods it without receding one step from the advanced line of Democracy. It is settled, then, that federal officials who have been commis sioned for four years will not be disturbed in their enjoyment of the honors and emoluments of t flice until the expiration of the terms for which they were appointed. But when vacancies occur they will be filled by the appointment of capable Democrat'. We wish that the law was differ ent, but obedience to law is the highest duty of the citizen. Very many applicants for oflice will be disappointed. A study of the blue book will show that the really disirable . offices are com paratively few in number when we consider the host of applicants. Thousands of govern ment positions are so uninviting and poorly paid that men of in telligence aud ability cannot afford to accept them. The better class ot offices with large salaries are sought by thousands of men who must necessarily be disappointed. Perhaps not one man in a hundred stan 3s any chance of getting one o' those honorable and remunerative positions. There are those who insist that tariff reform is to be abandoned, because of its impracticability in the present condition of the na tional finances. The idea of the Democatic party abondoning tariff reform! It might att as reasonably be said that tbev intended abandoning their organization, for tariff reform is the political issue that holds its elements together the issue upon which' they won their splendid victories of 1890 anr 1892, and which has now secured for them full control of the government. The depletion of the treasury by the Harrison administration may delay for a time any considerable reduction of custom duties, but it will not be long before tariff reform will, by stimulating commerce, add to the revenues of the govern ment. The ourrency will be so guarded as to give confidence to the busi ness world . Then it may be regarded as set tled that the Civil Service laws will be supported! They have become a part of the American -system, with out regard to what party may be in power. It is settled that tariff re form will continue to be the datl ing measure of the Administration and that the financies of the conn try will fiad a safe guardian in the person of President Cleveland. lu a word; it is settled that the laws will be abeyed and the principles of the Democratic party held iniviolate. INDEPENDENCE. There is something magical in the word Independence. The Dec laration of Independence kindled the fires of Revolution and kept them bnrning on the alters of Lib erty. But, we are not going to dilate upon national independence today. We love the Union, but we love this Southern land more than aft the world besides. Southern men sometimes boast of their indepen dence when really they are the most dependent of mortals. We want to see (he south self sustaining, independent of other sections for the snpply of its daily wants. There is not, in . all the world, a land so blessed by heaven as this our beloved South. With a snlulriiu-t climate and a fertile soil the South ought to be a boun tiful contributor to the food sup plies of i he natious, when in truth she does uot supply the demands of ! tier own people, We aie told, aud our experience verifies it, that the prices of meats ot all kinds, meal, potatoes, and other common articles of food, have seldom been higher in the South ern Sta'es than at present. -These ! supplies. i r , .. Is it wonderful, or at all strange, 1 that the people of the South are on : the verge of financial ruin when I they are exchanging two pounds of ; for one porjn(J of western meatT Then, again, they are buying great quantities of northern hav. when tho natnrnl grasses of the country, which are j muoh superior, could be had for the gathering. To use a homely expression the great need of the south is "hog and hominy." If we would be independent we mast abandon our dependence upon the North and West for such supplies as can be easily raised on oar own farms. MEMORIAL BAZAAR. To be Held ipril 11th to 29th, 1893, 1 in Richmond, Ya. The Ladies Hollywood Memorial As sociation.aided by the Junior Hollywood, the Oakwood and Hebrew Memorial As sociations, and all the Confederate Veter an Camps, will hold u bazaar for the benefit of the nionuinent now lx'ina: raised to the Private Soldier and Sailor of the Oonlederacy, and for the Confeder ate Museum, to Ik; established in the house in which President Davis resided during the war. This house having been riven to the ladies by the city of Rich mond, they ask the help of every man, woman and child, m order ttmr. t lie entire South may share in the honor of erecting these two monuments. F.ach Confederate State will be rep resented by a table hearing its name, shield, and colors, and articles received will be given to the. ta! ... whih may be designated hy trie donor. With any article furnished or with out, if none can be given it is specially rccpieMcil tu.it a sketcli ol some person or event be sent, Thoc sketches will be tiled and preserved in the His torical collection of the museum, and will be the basis of future publications. It is befitting that to the dauntless chieftain and his heroic followers these two monuments be raised m the Capital of the Confederacy, the one spot which can never lose its identity with the cause for which they struggled ami died. Money and articles, small and large, for table or restaurant, for use or beauty should be addressed to "Memorial Ba zaar." Richmond Ya. All packages forwarded free by Southern and Adams Express Companies. Name and residence of the consignor should be in the corner, but not given as part of the address. Our Ladies Memorial Association has already taken some action in furtherance of this praise-worthy undertaking, and no doubt our Confederate Veterans and other will lend willing aid. The James City Matter Again. In accordance with the decision of the Supreme court, the clerk of the Superior court issued to Sheriff Lane, writs of possession to place the James City prop erty in the possession of Mr. James A. Bryan. L'pon attempting to serve the writs the deputy sheriffs were dotied and they had abandon the attempt. The occupants of the property are making a mistake when they place them selves in opposition to the laws of the country. The law is more powerful than they are and will have to be obeyed as the sheriff is required to execute it and to call to his assistance if necessary whatever aid may be needed the Jull power of the county first, that of the State afterwards, aud even that of the general government if it should- become necessary. Any who resist the sheriff or his dep uties in the discharge of their duties, un pleasant though they may be, lay them selves liable to severe penalties. The courts of the State have decided the possession of the property and there can be no possible change from the de cision. The easiest course and the wise one for those on the land to pursue is to seek Mr. Bryan without any delay and make arrangements with him by which they can continue to happily occupy their homes. Nothing is U be gained and much may be lost by a contrary course. An Early Agreement Probable. We learn that the people of James City have determined to take some action next week looking to an amicable adjust ment of the differences between them selves and the owner of the property on which they reside. This willjbe a commendable action on their part, and we doubt not it will re sult in the making of satisfactory arrange ments, for we are told that Mr. Bryan still holds out J.he very generous offers to all that he extended when the courts decided beyond all question that he was the owner of the property namely, to make the rentals a mere nominal sum, only one dollar a month for the most val uable places, 75 cents for the next class, 50 cents for the next and only 25 cents per month for the least valuable ones (only about one-fifth of what similar prop erty would rent for in New Berne,) and further, to let a joint cotamittee be ap pointed composed 4of representatives of James City and others chosen by himself, who shall value the property for such rental purposes, and divide it into the four specified classes; and moreover to let all aged and decrepit people remain in the places they are occupying free of charge, anil likewise to let all churches and school houses be rent free so long as they are used for those purposes. 300 Families Left Homeless The Mississippi cyclone of last Friday rendered over 300 families in two dis tricts of Lauderdale county homeless and destitute. Farmers who were in comfortable cir cumstances are left penniless, with not an ounce of food or raiment to clothe their families. In many instances their horses and mules were killed and they are with out the means of cultivating their crops. Two more of the injured at Toomsuha died yesterday, making a total death list of twent v-niue so far as known. I . th i Broke out of Pitt County Jail.

REMARKABLE COLD SNAP. Florida and Georgia Truck Nearly Ruined. The Savanah News of the Cth inst has telegrams from 8 points in Florida and 5 in Georgia telling of a surprisingly hard and disastrous freeze. In South Florida the cold wave was not sufficiently severe to do much dam age. At Jacksonville the mercury reach ed onlv 38 and iu the fruit and vegetable section around it there was no frost to speak of, but from other portions the news is distressing. At iaiiwville the mercury on the night oftbe'lth went down to 27 degrees; ice formed a quarter of an inch thick; the eaith froze a half inch deep, and the ap pearance of the fields at noon was pro nounced frightful. Lettuce was cut by the wholesale from 25 to 50 per cent. 80 per cent of cabbage in some fields were ruined. Beans, cucumbers, squash, cantcloupes and tomatoes not under cover are killed. Tomato plants and cucumbers were killed even under cover. All the orange blooms wheh were out were killed and grave fears are entertained that the large fruit crop of all kinds is gone by the board. The damage has only been exceeded in 1886. At Lake City the early pea crop was destroyed and beans killed to the ground. At Johnston, Ga. , the fruit was killed, all the ponds frozen over and a heavy wind played havoc with turpentine trees, blowing thousands to the ground. At WallacQOche, da. , tho freeze was one of the hardest ot the winter. Ice formed 1 3-4 inches thick, the freeze was harder thau that in March of last year which proved a total destruction of the fruit crop. THERE IS MONEY IN THIS. One Hog Yields $40.95 Worth of Lard in Addition to the Meat Saved. Mr. W. II. Bray has killed his prize fat Berkshire hog whieh he exhibited at the Fair. His dressed weight was 628 pounds. Mr. Bray made 315 pounds of lard from this porker and sold it to Mr. John Dunn at 13 cents per pound. $40.95 was the amount of cash .that Mr. Bray received for the lard and he still has the bams, shoulders, &c, to eat. With such successes before his eyes why will any farmer waste his time with common breeds of any kind of stock. Get the best and do likewise. Neuse & Swanshoro Railroad. The charter of the Neuse & Swanshoro road was granted by the legislature, and a meeting of the incorporators will soon be held in New York and this will be speedily followed by the opening ot subscription books. The road will be thirty miles in length. It is planned to run from Swansboro an d connect at Riverdale with the A. & N. C. R. R., to which it will beyond doubt "be a valuable feeder, as it will, a good por tion of its length pass through a richly timbered eounty and vary fertil lands, and its sea coast extremely, the Swans boro region is one of the finest fishing sections in existance. Kinston Knitting Mills Still Advancing At the stockholders meeting of the knitting mills Tuesday night tke report ot the committee was adopted to offer lor sale not to exceed $10,000 of preferred stock. A resolution was unanimously adopted that the proceeds of the first $o,000 ol stock sold be used to pay the mortgage debt of equal amount. Messrs. L. riarvey, B. W. Canady and Dr. H. Tull were appointed as a commit tee to solicit subscriptions to this stock. This committee is to report to another meeting ol the stockholders to be held in the court house on Monday night, March 20th. We hope the committee will get to work at once and get all the preferred stock taken. Common stock can be secured on the same terms as heretofore, and the Free Press would be glad to see $5,000 of that sold, making, if all the preferred stock is disposed of, with that already invested, nearly $25,000. This would double the capacity of the mill, pay its debt and give sufficient capital for operating ex penses. It would, we feel confident, place the mill on a dividend paying basis. we nonestly believe that this would en able the mill to earn at least ten per cent, on all the stock, which would make the common stock more valuable than the preferred. Kinston Free Press. The knitting mills of Kinston have been one of the most beneficial enterprises that that town has ever had. The inhabi tants have seen this and from time to time worked successfully for them to attain a still higher plane. Kinston is proud of the mills and has reasons to be. The New Berne Knitting mills are yet in their infancy. They pay even though they are run on a small scale, but if en larged sufficiently they would pay still better and the city in general would feel their beneficial effects vastly more. The opportunity for investment in the mills is now offered our citizens should grasp the opportunity, the more they in vest in it the better it will be for all af fected by the industry. THEY WILL ALL STAT IX. Republican Officials With Four Year Commissions to Serve Their Terms. All Republican officials who hold com missions for four years Jwill be allowed to remain undisturbed by President Cleve land until their' terms expire. This is the determination to which the President has come, and he has announced it to his friends. In taking this step he returns to the practice which he followed eight vears ago, but which was really in- nncrnrftted nreviouslv bv President Hives, i It was observed with considerable fidelity ' by President Harrison and will now be ! put into stin.1 execution. I 1 lie iuic win uui jjiy, ui iuuix, 10 foreign appointments nor to positions in the departments. Its enforcement will enable the President to consider the ques tion of appointments as vacancies occur, and will relieve him of the crush which he would necessaryily have to endure if he undertook to make a complete change in the first year ot his administration. Washington Post. Mr. Clifford Simpson, of Riverdale in forms us that a false rumor has been started to the effect that he was assault ed and struck in the face in this city on Saturday the 25th of February, whereas he was not in town at all was at home that' whole day, and no such occurrence j tine, and the contents all that can 1 de took place then or any other time here : sired. The reading matter is intcrcsting or elsewhere. He wants it known that ly written, and treats of every county and the tory is entirely without foundation, I important resources ol the State.

How the Steam Ffcrry Will Boneflt. The steam ferry is one of the best pro jects ever started for the city and the country regions opposite wtfere pco pie would use it. It is grow ing stronger and stronger in favor as it is discussed, especially among the people on the op posite side of Neuse river from the city. It would pay even a very poor man who markets his farm products and buys his goods in the city to take at least one share of stock, for it would not take many trips before the saving by the dilli-rcno in rates would save him all he had paid in, and the benefits would go straight on without ceasing from ,'year to year. It would likewise pay every business man in the city to take stock in the company, for he would be getting his money hack by reason of increased trade through more people using this city as their mar ket, w ho, on account of the inconvenience in crossing, carry much of their trade to other points. The ferry will confer more immediate and direct benefits on the residence of both the country and city than even an additional railroad- No one alive to his own individual in terests, to the growth and prosperity of the city, and to the higher development of the tanning region, which the t would put into easy connection with city, can afford to be indifferent on matter. rrv Un tlie Hon. F. M. Simmons for Collecfo of Eternal Revenue. The North Carolina delegation in Con gress have decided to recommend e. Congressman Simmons, chairman of the State Committee, for Collector of inter nal Revenue for the Fastern District, and it is believed he will receive the appoint ment. His willingness to accept ban simplified the situation. There were nearly forty applicants. It is also understood that the delega tion has practically agreed on Mr. Glenn, of Winst jn-Salem, for the United States Attorney for his district. Kope Elias is a canidate for the same position, and his friends claim his loyalty to Cleveland may get him the position, but the delega tion feel pledged to urge the appoint ment of Mr. Glenn on account of the brilliant work done by him on the stump In the last campaign. They regard him as, by long odds the choice of the people. Wash. Cor. Dispatch. North Carolinas New Hand Book.

An old colored man who has been sav ing his seed potatoes for 25 years, s.iy, that after a tnorough search, hcjhas been able to find only one potato, and that about the size of his thumb.
