WINDSOR, BERTHE Co.. n. c., !

NV 4ols 1oIc.
Your reporter reached this ancient town
on Sunday last, Goth ultimo.
Stamers run on the Cashie between here
and Plymouth daily. The Cashie is a very
deep. narrow river, being about 20 feet
deep at the wharf here. 1t is impossible
for the pen, or the brush of the painter, to
do justice to the autumnal gilded foliage Of
the trees, which consists of every variety
known to this climate, which so densely
grow in the their primeval wildness on the
banks of thss deep, dark and currentless
little river. The river is very narrow from
here for some eight miles below, and being
very crooked, the over hanging limbs and
fallen trees render navigation tedious and
difficult ia the extreme. An appropriation
of So, 900 would be sufficient to cut away
the limbs and trees and make navigation
safe. The member Of Congress from this
District should attend to this matter as soon
as possible and secure the above appropria-
ton from Congress. The people of BERTHE
pay their proportionate part of the govern
mental taxes, and their wants are entitled
to substantial consideration. If Mr.. Mar
tin will not or cannot effect anything, per-
haps some of his more energetic democrat
ic colleagues may.
BERTHE has a Narrow Guage railroad be-
low here. which runs from the CaShie for
five miles back to the highlands. This little
road is owned and was built by Green
leaf johnson & Son, of Baltimore, for haul
ing logs to the river, where they are made
into RATS and tow boated to Norfolk and
Baltimore.
The Harding Manufacturing Company
are putting more machinery in their facto-
~, preparatory for making ''ply twist. }"
''Ply twist is worth 20 cents per Id. in
New York. 1t would take half dozen more
such mills as this to fill the present orders.
This factory has two Clement Attach
ments," 6l2 spindles, uses about l bale of
Gotten per day, turning out 800 lbs. Of spun
yarn from 1000 pounds Of seed cotton: All
the waste cotton and cotton seed lind a
ready sale. The seed cotton is first put
through a patent cleaner which thoroughly
frees it from all dirt, is then placed on rolling
tables which carries it to the attachments
from whence it comes out ready for the spin
dies. This factory cost, complete, $4,000.
Mr.. Hardin, the President of the company,
says the enterprise is now paying 20 per
cent. Less politics but more cotton facto-
ries is what the South needs.-S outhe'mer.

NO YELLOW FEVER IN THE SOUTH.

VINCENNEs, Ind, February 20.--There
has been 50 many conflicting reports in re-
gard TO the existence of yellow fever in
Memphis for the past ten days, that | have
concluded to write you for the facts, and as
a friend, will be pleasd to have YOU write me
at Nashville, Tennessee, care Commercial
hotel. Ny present intention is to 90 to
Memphis, and will do SO unless you advise
to the contrary. A week ago passengers on
the City Of Vicksburg reported four deaths
in one house the day previous to her reach
Ing Memphis. Again one hundred cases
existing in Memphis from others. Then the
Louisville, Cintinnati and Evansville papers
seem to intimate the existence of the fever;
and again, card appears in the papers
from a gentleman from New York. who
had travelled from New Orleans and Nicks
burg, and he reports yellow fever as exist
ing, As yet have placed but little if any
confidence in the reports, and will esteem
it as a favor to hear from you. AS to the
fever should have but little to fear; but if
it exists and is likely tosprad, there could
be but little expectations OF doing any
business. do hope and pray your city
will not again be visited by this terrible
scourge.
The above letter to Mr.. Coover has been
handed us for publication, in order that
the apprehensions of not only the writer
but all who believe like him, may be
quoted by an explicit and emphatic denial
There is not Il case OF yellowtever in Mem
phis and has not been one since Mr.. JOY
ner's death in December, and he contracted

indeed severely cold weather we have had
has killed every lingering spore. The same
may be said OF New Orleans and Vicks'
burg, where they have had colder winter
than for years. Memphis was neveI
healthier than now, and we do not remem
time when the signs were so propitious a
at present for a healthy summer. 1t is
cruel thing to spread abroad such false
hoods, We have suffered enough withou
being made the prey of lying tongues

Peoria This division was accomplished
on the LIST of May, 1871, but prior to that
the work placed upon the shoulders Of the
deceased prclae covered one of the most
important tieldsof church labor in America.
Among the grandes, OF the late bishops
works was the rebuilding of the cathedral
Church Of the Holy Name, on the corner
Of Superior and Dearborn streets, which had
been destroyed by the fire of 1871. 1t is
one Of the finest church cdificos on the CON

TO the memory Of the deceased prelate, to
whose pious endeavors and increasing zeal
in the cause of his Master it owes It's pres
ent eminence among the great churches in
America.
The history Of Bishop Foley since ms
advent in Chicago has been marked by
few incidents that might employ the pen Of
the biographer, because his was life that
passed far from the din and strife fpoem-
ical agitation, and was peaceful. but
ardent pursuit in the work of well-doing.
He was clear in his great Office and his
great administrative ability has been felt
and appreciated by the multitudes who will
mourn his death.

will be TO touch the heart Of the South 10

gush the well spring Of gratitude that will
insure Republican victories in at least five
states in the South 1t was not noticed,
as the president went on, that Hannibal
ilam1n was becoming perfectly hysterical
with rage. Hot blood was pumped up un-
under his withered cheeks; his eyes spark

younger When the president made the
statement that he thought his beautiful
policy would carry at lest five states in the
South, Hannibal lIamlin could stand it no
longer He got up, walked around in front
OF the crowd Of senators and strobe up to
the president, exclaiming: You can't

another word, but instantly departed. and

THE DEAD PERLATE.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF THE LATE BIsH
oP FOLEY, OF CHICAGO.

OF FOLEY, OF CHICAGO.
From the Chicago Tribune.
The Rt Rev. Thomas Foley was born
March q, 1922, in Baltimore, Md. He was
the son Of Matthew Foley, of the county Of
I Wexford, Ireland. his mother being native
Of the same locality, the two emgrating to
the United States early in 1921. When ten
years of age he entered the preparatory
school of st. Mays college, and, after pur-
suing the prescribed course of study, ma
circulated at the college itself. He enjoyed
there the best educational advantages the
institution afforded, graduating in 1910,
at the age Of IS, with the degree of A. b.
Having determined to devote his life to the
service of the church he entered the
theological seminary attached to St. Mary's
where he studied divinity, and passed six
years in preparing himself. He was or
dained 10 the priesthood Aug 49, 1S47, at
the Cathedral in Baltimore, by the Most
Rev. DR.. Eccleston, archbishop and metro
politan, by whom he was subsequently APP
, pointed to take charge otthe Catholic mis-
sions in Montgomery county. In this charge
there were four churhes to be served. After
officiating for eight months, he was called
upon to act as assistant pastor at st, Pat
rick church in Washington He passed
two years in this parish, and was then call
| ed, in 1919. to the Baltimore cathedral 10y
Archbishop Ecccston. Here he labored
with assduty Tor twenty-one years, dur
ing that time filling several important po-
sitions. When Archbishop Kondrick was
translated to that see in 1851, Father Foley
became his secretary and chancellor of
the archdiocese of Baltimore. He also &C.
cupled n similar position under Archbishop
! Spalding. In 1866 he acted as secretary
andnotary OF the penary council, held IN
Baltimore The following year he was made
vigar-general position which his demand
ing ability emnently qualified him to fill,
which he held until the illness of bishop
Duggan prepared the path for his transla-
iion, to the diocese of Illinois In Novem-
Der. 1869, he was appointed bishop OF Per-
gamus partibas infde ium. coadjutor and
administrator of the diocese of Chicago,
cum lure s,icccssoncs, and was consccratcd
February 20. 1870, in Baltimore, by bishop
McCloskcy, who was assisted by bishop Ro-
sccranz Of Columbus and bishop Becker Of
Washington. On March 10, the same year
he was daily installed in his new office.
AT the tine Bishop Foley came TO Chi
cage, the diocese Of Illinois including all
the counties north Of The Alton bishoprics,

lal,orious for the efforts Of one man. Bishop
Foley entered upon his work with intrepid
courage, and with strong faith in his
ability 10 cope with 1t. But 1t was found
that the population was TOO dense and the
work too much Of herculean task, and In

4 LIBEL UPON CALIFORNIA.
From the SIM Frnncisco Eknmlner.

It's an attrocious scandal upon this
community 70 intimate that this city owes
its growth and greatness to the Mongolians.
There are thrcc-quartcrs Of a million of
Caucasians in California, and not 10 exceed
one hundred thousand Chinese, ninetenths
Of whom are coolies. OF the hundreds of
millions worth ofpropcrty in san Francisco
not one thousanth part belongs to the
Chinese. They have no standing in the
community or society; they embark in no
enterprises Of magnitude; they engage in
no worthy works, First and last they arc
AS leechcs, an incubus and a curse to the
city Such contingency is utterly impos
sible; but were it even possible that the
future of San Francisco or California
should depend upon Chinese immigration,
the characterof the future can be readily
predicted The coming Marus could in
less than half century sit upon the ruins,
as the celebrated Roman sat upon those OF
Carthage.

A CHANCE FOR OUR NAVY.
Fror the Baltimore Gazette.

1t will occasion no surprise, we hope,
when we announce tbatthe Chinese embassy
in Washington is not at all distressed by
the attempt which has been made in con-
gress to abrogate the Burlingame treaty
The Chinese government would be willing
to break up trade relations with all the
world. 1t prefers isolation and has never
opened its ports except upon compulslon.
The few Cinnamon who find their way to
California are no more to the Chinese en-
pire than the spots on the moon, but as
matter of principle the Celestials will insist
on thorough reciprocity If they can't go
to California when they choose then the
Mclean man will have to sing small in the
ports of Hong Kong, Canton and Nankin.
The only difference is while the emperor Of
China may not be able to clear the way
for the Mongolian on the Pacific coast, we
may be able to compel him to open his tea
chests to our traders at the muzzie Of the
guns of our powerful war-ships. Laugh

THE DEATH RATE OF our country is get
ting iearfuly alarming, the average Of life
being lessened every year, without any rea-
sonablc cause, the death resulting generally
from the most lnsignigcant origin. At this
season of the year especially, cold is such
a common thing that in the hurry of every
day life we are apt to overlook the dangers
attending it and often find too late, that Il
Fever and Lung trouble has already set in.
Thousands loose their lives in this way
every winter, while had Boshee's German
Syrup been taken cure would have result
ed, and d large bill of doctor been avoided.
For all diseases of the throat and lungs.
Boschee's German Syrup has proven itself
to be the greatest discovery of its kind in
medicine. Every druggist in the country
will tell you of its wonderful effect. Over
100000 bottles sold last year without a
single failure known.
