Postmaster Geueral Alleged To Be
Getting Southern Delegates
For ltoosevelt.
Washington. Jan. 20. Persons close
to the President believe that the near
future will wittnesa a request from Mr
Taft for the resignation of the Post
master-General. Mr. Hitchcock's es
pousal of government ownership of tel
egraph lines is merely incidental. The
real trouble is that Postmaster General
Hitchcock Btands before his chief
charged with political treachery.
President Taft has been informed by
close personal and political friends, in
cluding at laast one Cabinet officer,
that Hitchcock is aiding and abetting
the movement inaugurated and financed
by George W. Perkins for the nomina
tion of The'odore Roosveit for Presi
dent, j ,
According to the information brought
to the President, the Postmaster-Gen

Last Night
A party of twenty-four farmers from
northern States arrived In the city yes
terday afternoon from Greenvile, N.
C, where they bad spent the previous
day looking over the farms in that sec
tion. .
Yesterday afternoon they drove out
and looked over a . r.umber of farms in
this section with a view of settling in
Craven county. Owing, to the bad
condition of the roads they were not
taken very far from the city but they
received a clear idea of the possibilities
of farming here.
Last night they were tendered a re
ception at the Elks club by the Cham
ber of Commerce. At this reception a
number of speaches were made and gen
eral good will prevailed. The visitors
were extended a cordial invitation to
George W. Perkins who are working in retui.n Bnd ettle in this section.

Bright Outlook For New Bern.
Mr. John Davey was driven over the
city and rxpressed a great surprise at
the possibilities nf New Bern. In the
lecture at the court house next Thurs
day evening, he wHI point out how we
cn earnestly, quietly, launch out in all
directions. Among the effectual agen
cies to bring our city to the for front
will he that of organizing alt the chil
dren and enlisting them ia the work of
beautifying. To make the work aya
tematic. Prof. H. B. Craven take hold
of this work with energy and will pro
ceed to take out a State 'charter for
'The Restoration Band' of America."
Mr. Davey will explain Ihls work at the
court house and show job how tbe Uni
ted States and Canada are joining hande
to restore native birds and renew tbe
force of America,

Fears of Strikes Causes Nervous
Situation. I Trade Condi-
i tious Good,
New York. Jan, 20. Cotton has act
ed nervously last week, owing to the
strike in Lancaapfre and at Lawrence,
Mass., and thej fear that a general
strike! might hrdak out among the in
dustries of England, including the coal
industry, and that the cotton strike at
Lawrence might spread to other parts
of New Eogland!. Riots and the calling
out of tbe militia to quell them have
not added to thfe feeling of security in
regard to the New England outlook.
Also, it is contended that if prices con
tinue at about the present level this
spring there is not likely to be much, if
any; reduction in the acreage in Texas
and the Southweat generally, or indeed,
anywhere else.
The continent has been selling in
Liverpool and apparently here also.
Liverpool and the South have sent sel
ling orders. Hedge selling by the South
has been something of a feature,
Southern spot markets have been re
ported generally quiet. The ginning is
said to be on a liberal scale. Thus far
it is some 6,000,000 bales in excess of
the quantity brought into sight. Though
cold weather has, interfered with the
marketing of the crop, very large
quantities, of cotton at points of dis
tribution in the South are still to be
forwarded. The condition of the soil in
the South ia said to be good after heavy
I recipitalions of rain and snow, putting
the ground, it' is declared, in the best
condition aeen for several years, in
marked contrast, it is added, to that wit
nessed in 19081909 and 1909 1910. Also
the weather in the South has grown
milder and there are signs of a larger
movement of the crop.
Up tbe other hand spinners have been
calling for cotton more freely Imth at
home and abourd. The world nhows a
dlsposiitn to buy at around '. to 10
cents, fearing that something may hap
pen to the next crop, Exports look as
if they will greatly exceed even the liig
total of 1908-09, to gay nothing of Inst
y ar's and that of the year before. It
is also believed that American spinnt i n
whatever tbe appearance to the con
trary, will take a very much larger
quantity of cotton than they have fur
several years. China and Japan are
buying more freely. Some cotton
goods have advanced. The cotton trade
has lost its terror of the monster crop
which for a time was a sort of F ranken
sttin, and it is now believed that it will
be absorbed farmor e readily, pHttly
through spinners buying for delivery
years ahead, than at one time seemed
conceivable.' Mills at home and aboard
find trade more profitable than former
ly, when the high cost of raw material
mitigated seriously against prosperity
in the cotton manefacturing industry.

It is almost impossible to regulate and reduce expendi
