A SWINDLER EXPOSED.

A gentleman m Franklin coznty has
sent us long circular letter, printed
from typewriter type, offering to sell
him counterfeit money and assuring
him that is printed from plates stolen
from the government. The letter is
signed "You Know" and is specious
pack of falsehoods. The money is offer
ed for sale at $500 for three thousand :;
$4OO for five thousand $3.50 for ten
thousand; $1,000 for thirty thousand,
and the dupe is given key and instruct
ed how to telegraph to the fraud.
There are many such schemes and
gullible people have more than once been
taken in by answering snch letters.
Usually the dupe gets nothing, but in the
last instance We heard about, the fool
who parted with his money got only a
packet of saw-dust for his good money
The circular seut us conveyed the i'm
preston to the ignorant mind s4xs the
money was e, but the plates had
been stolen. The friend who sent US
this circular asked as to print it. We
do not think it best to do so because we
do not like to advertise such . swindle,
and it might lead young and unsuspec-
ting people to part with their money. NJ

Ex.Presidcnt Cleveland Denies the
Views Attributed to Him.
New YORK, April 23.-Ex President
Cleveland was asked to-day by a United
Press reporter if Mr.. Stephens's version
OF his conversation with Mr.. Cleveland,
and his statement of the latters views on
the silver question were correctly re-
ported. MIR. Cleveland said: II have
just read the report. 1t seems to me,
from my reading of it, that it has been
generally embelished, and expressions
are put into my mouth that were never
uttered by me, but are the expressions
used by another gentleman who was
present. While some of the opinions
may be regarded as partly my views
upon the subject of silver coinage, yet
there are so many other expressions
credited to me that it would require a
considerable wedding out before the sup
posed conversation could be strictly
termed an accurate report.
II see a good many people, and Mr..
Stephens came to me as visitor from
distant state. I desired to treat him
courteously, but it is scarcely fair treat
ment to me that he should run off to a
newspaper Office, report my supposed
utterances, and place me in the position
of being interviewed by several news
paper men upon the strength OF gar
bied and embellishe report.
The above was read over to Mr.. Cleve-
land by the reporter, and the ex Presi-
dent said THAT about right"

ROBBING IHE CRADLE AND THE

The following incident which is going

truly North Carolina robbed the cradle

A Most Successful Closing of a Most
Successful Year.
The CHRONICLES columns are too
crowded to do justice to the splen-
did closing exercises of the Chatham
High School, which took place on Friday
last at Williams Mills.
The exercises, occupying the whole
day, were we'll arranged and exceedingly
entertaining. In the morning the pro-
gramme consisted OF declamatlons inter-
spersed with delightful music by the
most attractive of the Chatham young
ladies. In the afternoon, Maj Eugene
&. Harrell, of Raleigh, Secretary of the
State Teachers Assembly, delivered
we'll finished and m ost interesting liter
ary address on the subject embodied in
the military command, "Ready Aim
Fire !' as applied to the preparation, OBJ
jects and results of true life A large
audience gave evidence of their appreci-
alton by close attention.
At night large audience of several
hundred from every section of the coun-
ty, to twenty miles distant, were enter
tained for three hours by a most en- oy
able concert, in which all the pupils of
the school acquitted themselves with
merit.
Prof. B. D. Barker, the energetic and
rising principal, has built up school of
high grade, eminently successful IN
every way, and the people of Chatham
county are proud of it. MissMary McKoy,
of Harnett county, is teacher of music.
and Miss Vallie Page, of Mooresville, is
assistant in the literary department.
Seventy pupils were enrolled last year,
which includes a number of boaIders
from a distance. The enterprising
B oard of Trustees have recently erected
a new and commodious two story build

We were told by s visitor at the Com
| mencement exercises that the number of
charming and beautiful young ladies
who are pupils of this school is not ex-
celled by any, and the hospitality OF
Chatham people is overlooking.

LET US HAVE FULL DISCU6StCZ

Y The CHRoS1CLE hears that whe' h1
BEs TERRELL. Alliance Lecturer |poHe
at Statesville recently, HON. -. w.
ROBBINS took issue with him & Vhe Sub
Treasury Question and that tfae debate
was very interesting and instructive.
After they had finished their debate, HGx'
AUGUSTUS LEAzAR, a prominent member
of the Alliance, was called upon, and he
made an argument against the Sub
Treasury bill, and in favor OF the other
demands of the Alliance. He and MAI.
ROBBINS warmly advocated the other de-
mands of the Alliance, but objected to
the Sub Treasury bill and protested
against the proposition to fc-a
new party if the Democratic party does
not favor the Sub Treasury.
The debate, as we hear, was conduct
ed in pleasant and fair spirit and the
people were glad to hear both sides of
the discussion. It is only by an intelli
gent and FREQ discussion of such
public questions that the people are in
formed upon all sides and enabled to
form an intelligent. opinion. When such
patriotic men as Hons. ROBBINS and
LEAzAR, and such leading Alliance leo
turers as Mr. TERRELL debate economic
questions in an amicable spirit, good and
good only can result.
1t is our purpose shortly to give argu-
ments in the CHRONICLE by leading
Alliancemen for and against the Sub
Treasury plan 1t ought to stand or
fall upon argument, and we are glad
that the people are beginning to study it
and to give all shades of opinion careful
consideration.

Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE.

Especial Cor. STATE CHRoNICLE.1
NEEsos, N. O., April 21.-The state
ment furnished by J. c. L. Harris, at
torney for w. II. Morris, and published
by you in the DAILY CHRONICLE of the
18th inst does me great Injustice.
Therefore l hope you will do me the
favor to publish this letter, which are
the facts in the case as l understand
them, and have no doubt the evidence
in the case will bear me out fully in
what have to say in the matter:
1st. Morris and myself we're never en-
gagged in copartnership as dealers in
lumber or otherwise. What lumber he
sawed for me was done for so much per
100 feet in cash.
2od. Morris never had any authority
from me to break open the letter con-
tanning the check which heahas already
acknowledged in the presence of two re-
liable gentlemen.
3rd. l was with Norris at the ELECTION
in November for nearly half . day ter
he had broken open my letter and. ex
tracted the check, and he never intir1a-
ted to me that he had the check,
notwithstanding l asked Morris if he
would be at home next day, if SO would
come over and pay him some money. Al
ter his failure to pocket my money by
banking tho check, received note
from Mr.. Morris begging my pardon for
sny VIZ ong he I'd done.
IA. have paid Morris $104 81 since his
transaction with the check, and offered
on several occasions to settle in full if
heIwould give me just credits and erase
allsunjust charges which his books show
ed relative to saving. hauling logs &c
This offer was made in the presence of
Witnesses.
Such are tho material facts in the cases
al I understand them, and as l believe
will be shown on the trial, notwithstand-
ling Mr.. Harris shrewdness and W II
written article. I, for one, believe that
the court and jury are the proper par
ties to hear aud determine this case.
Notwithstanding the shrewd effort of
Mr. Harris above referred to, which
seems to Have been done solely in the
interest of his client, regardless of the
real facts in the case, attach no blame
to Mr.. Harris for anything contained in
his statement. believe he was design
edly misled by Morris.
Respectfully
