Pamlico Country Pamphlet Thinksglv lor Day Observance Presbyterian Chuck. Sals ea Debt. Raleigh, November 81. The Republi cans, locally at least, are wall frightened by the news from Washington that the president does not care to hare office holders serve more than two terms. Some of the office holdara pretend that the whole atory la a Joke, but the laugh seems to be all on the outatde. It li said that before he left the Senate Prltchard had let the Republicans of Western North Carolina know that he wu op posed to the holding of office more than two terms, and It seems this has filtered into this part of the State also. Beyond any question the Republican offloa hold ers are very much agitated. Charters are granted to the Wathovla Knitting Company of Winston-Salem, capital stock $50,000, W 8 Blevers and others stockholders, and to the Concord Real Estate Company, capital stock $100,000, J W Cannon and others stock holders. Tomorrow the pamphlets which are to be used in the public schools for the cel ebration if "North Carolina Day" will be issued. The theme this year will be "The Pamlico Countrv" For the first time the pamphlet will be well lliaakra ted. Up to yesterday the First Presbyterian Church here had a debt (of $4,700 on its new building bat at the service yer ter dsy morning $6,100 waa ratted, being contributed by sixty persona, and the re mainder will be pledged this week. In the Supreme Court this week, 18 in district appeals will be called and ar gutd. The docket la a fairly heavy one. Democratic State Chairman Simmons is quite a good goesser. He th ught the patty's majority would be close around 60,000 and it seems that It la al most 51,000. The sheriff of this county haa secured a photograph of George W Tilley, the young white man who late In September shot and killed his mother In law and dangerously wounded his wife. The photograph shows Tilley and his wife sitting beside each other There appears to be some little cine as to his where abouts. The Governor has offered $300 reward for him. The Corporation Commissioners have gone to the mountain section or the State to inspect several railways. They have not done much inspecting during he present year, but will look over a number of roads In the next few weeks. Elaborate preparations have been made here for the observance of 1 hanksglvlng day. At the penitentiary the few con victa now within the prison will have a good dinner. There will be a big spread turkey included of course, at the Soldiers Home, and the veterans are looking for ward with much pleasure to the day. Secretary of SUte Grimes was talking villi your correspondent today about the need of modern steel oases for the very valuable records In his offices. He opened the doors of one of the heavy cases made of fat pine, showing within paper boxes In which la every land war rant, plot and survey, giving title to lands in the State. And not only these, but every original charter and all tne original laws and oiher par era, all are In such Are trap cases. The State cer tainly ought to make better arrange ments. The cases are so heavy and so large that they cannot be taken ont of the doors. They ware. In fact, built within the offices No state gives less care to Its public documents than does North Carolina. This seems to be a no torfous fact.

OF HEALTH POWDER Abso'JtelyPure HAS K0 SUBSTITUTE Port Arthur the Key ot Asia- Coluis'b for November 10, says: THE STORY OF PORT ARTHUR, distressing as It is, has at least the merit of showing what a cargo of heroic vir tues the old world s 1H carries Slaugh ter has never been more shocking, but bravery has never been more abundant. Never In all history have men shown greater defiance of death than has been shown In the terrible months of straggle tor the citadel which has been for years the key to the Eastern situation. We can not wonder at tne price Japan would pay for the fortress, since as long aa Rusala owns that fort the purpose for which this war Is fought will not have been accomplished by Japan. If the war ahould be settled without depriving Russia permanently of the fortress a dagger would still be pointed at Japan's heart. The control of Korea by J ap a n would be an insecure defence as long as the strongest position in Manchuria was held by her enemv. Russia needed to bold the fori ress f ft ibe ame reason ilia Japan m e le.i to take it. Addi tional mntive- 'or b.)th sides were fnrni-bedb, considerations of prrst'ge and by tbe bi-aring jf the Port Attbnr situation on tbe mmense s rugule further norih. Tbe talk about whether all thla dlsperatecnorageaad Destruction about Port Arthur has been well Invest ed, therefore, seems to us beside tbe mark. It the war was to be a', all, Port Arthur was a necessity to each of the combatants, and time was an essential consideration to both, especially to Ja pan. It being something vital, therefor , to their countries' welfare, Russians and Japanese alike have fought for the strong hold In a manner to pr jve that man still retains the virtues of the bulldog. Effeminacy, for the great modern na tions, is an Imaginary bogy. Let a dan ger, as vital as has confronted Japan' threaten Germany, Fiance, England, or the United States, and we imagine that they also would still be found capable of fighting desperately in the last ditch Hypocrisy is Hypocrisy. Greensboro Record. The gentleman who presides over the editorial department of the Stetesville Landmark ha a discriminatlbg -eye and hates a humbug. We quote him: "It Is given out from Asbevllle that the Democratic campaign managers there solicited and received contribu tions from the Asbevllle liquor dealers. By and by it wu learned that the liquor dealers Lad also contributed to the Re publican campaign. Then, after tbe election, the Democratic managers. with s great show of virtue, retu ned tbe con tributlons of the ifq -Or men; and U la a d that the latter are alarmed, as tbe Democrats being under no obligation to them, may interfere with their business If the Democratic managers had nev r solicited and received the contribution of the liquor dealers they would deserve some credit, But inasmuch as tbey did solicit and receive sncb co trlontlons which were afterward returned not be cause they didn't want to be under ob ligations to tbe liquor men, but be ause the latier had also contrlou'ed o 'he other aide well, the lat said '.bout that the hotter I 1 nor rpr sli g that te Iqaor dealer- c bflrmieil to both sides.

I ne ounaay paper coniaioeu kdh- tonal story of the robbery ot tbe ante ol I the Forepangh and Sells Bros circus while enronte from Klntton to Tar- boro. The report stated that the ticket wag on In which the safe was kept was on a flat car. Entrance to the wagon was affected by means of keys which bad been stolen from the treasurer. The rob bery occurred sometime during the early morning hours, before 5 o'clock. Tbe amount said to have been akeo was $80,000. Several employees of the circus were arrested but were soon after released, no evidence being found by which tbey could be held. Every poetible sugges tion of a clue waa followed up but no trace of tbe money could be found rico.es of search warrants were sworn ont. A man and woman were arrested in Norfolk aa being suspected of tbe rob bery. They were released, however, up on failure to find proofs ot suspicion. The owners of the show offered a re ward of $2000 for the appiehenson ot the thieves. BELIEVED 10 BE A FAKE. A special from larboro to the Wilson Daily Times, last evening says: "The impression Is gaining ground cere that the allege 1 robbery of Sells and Forepaugh's Show was a fake, and Intended to beat Mrs Sells ont of money. Why the managers of the show should nave allowed $80,000 to have lain in a ticset wagon ungarded, when It could i.ave been sent to local banks, Is a m.vs tery. bothering the police authorities of this city, Mr dells was very nervous, and left with tbe other on specials last night fur Columbus. The show people were sitting around alt day yesterday and were paid off, ao it was staled late yesterday afternoon with 080,0u0 received uy express from New York, which came In on tbe afternoon tram. The tact that all the managers of the ahow have dropped the trace and gone borne, leaving the authorities with tne bag to hold, is als ) deemed suspicious, before tbe circus reached Tarboro uhu i of Police Cotten received a letter from Bob Pinkerton, saying he had no dete: lives with the show, tbough the ahow people have told everywhere tnst tbey had. Mr Sells Informed Mr Gotten Saturday morning that the reason he did no; re pott the rubbery earlier was because bit own detectives were working on the ..ase, but they could not discover the guilty parties. The case promises interesting develop merits. It is believed here some one Is trying to swindle the widow Sells out ot some of her money. Suggestions To Hunters The hunting season being on the fol lowing suggestions from a northern ex change may be helpful to some one. Those who go out for game won t have to come back with some lame ex cuse If they follow these directions care tally and they may be the means of the sportsmen having some good luck. RABBITS When they refuse to sur render or come out and be shot, advance un tnem in parallel trenches, men positions may then be rushed with the least possible loss. If they are too fortified, countermining ahould be con ducted. QUAIL The best way o attack these ta from a war balloon. Jugs of nltrogly cerln lei fall when yon are over their center will ront them The balloon ahould not fly too low, as yon may bo enfiladed by the Are of other hunters. U0CES They can be outflanked with a submarine. However, it they oecome alarmed they will rise. For hi emergency there should be a sup port of monltore and a flying detach ment of airships to cut off their re treat.

The NBHA snd Cape Fear Academy In a Fierce Struggh for Supremacy. Lovers of football are promised a rare treat Thanksgiving sfiernoon when the strong N B M A team will meet on the gridiron at, Blades Park, the Cape Fear Academy Team of Wilmington. This team has plsyed three games this season win lng tWo, and are considered one ot the fasted teams of the leaner lights. The management btspeaks a liberal patronage of the public the expense is heavy and as the stores will be closed no doubt there will be a record breaking crowd. The time of the game will be 3 o'clock and the admission will be, gentlemen 29 cents, ladles and children 16 cents. Tobacco. The outlook for good prices for the next few years was never better than now. In fact the tobacco crop this year and It Is a very poor one too, will pay much better than the cotton crop. I am a farmer and planted both crops this year. My tobacco will bring from $100 to $126 per acre and my cotton from $80 to $33 per acre. Tne cost of production will not exceed $15 per acre. Mow It looks reasonable to me that It will pay every farmer t j more diversify his crops, don't plant too heavy of any one, some cotton, tobacco and potatoes, I mention these for they are tbe money crops, by this method you would get re munerative prices for all. The territory Is expanding for manu factured tobacco all the time and farm ers have ii to grow, and why not the farmers In Eautra Carolina gtow thetr share of it, for a belter quality can be grown here than elsewhere, besides the old tobacco belt can't grow any more than tbe do now, and South Carolina uas about quit as thetr soil is uat so suit able as ours.
