Fourteen Years in Transit.

From the Raleigh News IL Observer
On January 9th, 1881, Mr.. @. A.
Rominger mailed from Fork Church,
Davie county, letter addressed to
Mcssrs. Edwards. Broughton & Co.,
of this city, which was received by
Messrs. Edwards, Broughton s. Co.
five days ago, nearly IA years after it
had been mailed. The letter contained
a one dollar bill which was to be
credited on the subscription of Mrs.
P. L. Foster to the Biblical Recorder.
Mr.. Edwards was exhibiting the let
ter yesterday and the enclosed both
of which were in good condition.
Nevertheless it had been nearly s24
years in transit.
1t seems that the letter arrived in
Raleigh in due time and had been put
in the post-office drawer of Edwards,
Broughton & Co. In pulling out the
drawer this letter had fallen down be-
hind it, and had remained there all
these years. Some days ago in clean
ing out behind this drawer the post
office officials found it.

PROTECTION FOR PRESIDENT
A Sentry Box Placed Directly in Front
of The White House.

of The White House.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-President
Cleveland has made another innova-
tion in White House customs even
more radical than the recent docking
of his horses tails, and one that will
cause as much surprise and comment
as did that noted concession to fashion.
He has had sentry box built and set
up in the roadway Immediately in
front of the porte cOchere of the White
House and within fifty feet of the front
door. The box is so located that an
inmate Of it can cover every approach
to the porch with his eye, or with
rifle, if he should have one in his
hands. A huge bronze vase has here
tofOre been the only obstruction to the
roadway in front of the White House
porch, and the new sentry box has
been placed. close beside it.
Every person who walked through
the White House grounds Wednesday
morning stopped IN amazement at
sight Of the sentry box, and wondered
what new danger threatened the in
mates of the mansion that it should
be more closely guarded now than at
any time in its history, even during
the civil war.
There are at present twenty-four
policemen detailed from the city force
for duty in the Executive Mansion
and the grounds surrounding it. They
are divided into three watches Of
eight hours each, and remain on duty
day and night. Under an order re-
Gently issued, no person is allowed to
cross the White House porch or walk
under the porte cochere while a mem
Der of the White House family is en-
tering or leaving it.

AT THE SUGAR TRUSTS MERCY.
LOuisiana's Planters Will Lose ST.
800 900 on the Drop in Price.


NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 6.-The
Louisiana sugar planters will attribute
the low price they are getting for their
sugar to the Vaccinations of the Sugar
Trust. In spite of the 40 per cent.
duty and differential, sugar is now
half cent lower than it was last year,
when it came in free. In addition to
this half cent, the planters have lost
the bounty, and are getting q cents
for their sugar instead of five, as they
did last year, which means a loss of
ST, 800, 900 on the crop.
Much excitement has prevailed on
the floors OF the Sugar Exchange for a
few days over the news that the Trust
has been using its influence to the
detriment of Louisiana sugar, virtual
ly excluding it from the markets where
it comes into competition with the sug
ar manufactured by the trust. The
increase in the Louisiana sugar crop,
which has doubled in the past three
years, has greatly increased the ship
ments to the West. For several days
the Louisiana reffners and planters
have been placing their stock
through the wholesale trade and brok-
erS, IN this manner getting tirmer
foothold with the trade. This seems
to have aroused the West, which now
mas contracted WlUn the wholesale
dealers in Omaha and other Western
cities to supply them with sugar on
the condition that they would handle
only standard sugar manufactured by
the Trust. This will place the entire
Louisiana product at the mercy OF
the Trust and compel the planters to
sell to it.
The Sugar Exchange and the Sugar
Planters Association will hold meet
ings to protest against the action OF
the Trust, and threaten to carry the
fight into Congress and make a vigor-
Gus battle against the attempt of the
Trust to control the sugar product OF
Louisiana.

Against j. A. Reid.

The Supreme Court repders a de-
cision against j. A Reid, of this city,
charged with selling Spirituous liquors
without license. The opinion of Judge
Burwell is as follows:
'The fact that the defendant had
been before the Mayor of the city of
Winston for violation of its ordi-
nance forbidding the selling of spirit
Gus liquors within that city without
having first obtained license from
the city, is no bar to trial upon an
Indictment in the Superior Court for
retailing spirituous liquors without a
license, as the offense against the de-
fendant is distinct from that with
which he is charged before the Mayor"

BONDS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
The Commissioners of Wake Elect the
Old Sheriff.

Ola Sh0rin.
The bond of Mr.. Adams, in Wake
county, was refused by the commits
sioners and the former sheriff was put
in the office. The News and Observer
has this to say of the meeting of the
Board: The examination of Mr..
Rogers bond having been completed
the Board, after it had convened after
the dinner recess, took in all the bonds
and went into secret session to pass
upon them. The first thing known of
their action was when Sheriff Page
was summoned. 1t was then announc-
ed that the bond of sheriff elect j. P.
Ell. Adams having proven unsatisfac-
tory to the Board, they had declared
the office vacant and had elected
Sheriff Page to fill the vacancy. This
offer, the genial sheriff, after much
coaxing, was prevailed upon to accept.
William Weddington, newly elected
register of deeds of Cabarrus, and G..
Ed. Keesler, treasurer, could not give
proper bonds. They were given until
December 18th, in which time to get
up satisfactory bonds.
Elijah Hewlett, sheriff, and S. Van
Amringe, treasurer, of New Hanover
county, failed to give bonds. They
were given until December 10th in
which time to get them UP.

THE TOBACCO EXHIBIT.
1t Will Cut an Important Figure at
the Big Exposition.

From the Western Tobacco Journal.l
The commissioners sent out by the
management of the Cotton States and
International Exposition, of Atlanta,
Ca, seem to have met with unusual
success all through the East in OBJ
tanning application for space from the
tobacco and cigar manufacturing
trade, and if they meet with equal
success in the West and North, the
prospects are that they will have to
enlarge their plans for tobacco
building, Already they have applica-
tions for space that will warrant them
in carrying out to the full their ideas
of tobacco building.
This will in all probability more
thoroughly illustrate the variety of
manufacture, its improvements and
adyancements, and its Importance as
an industry, than any national expo
sition we have ever had, not excluding
the Columbian Exhibition, at Chi
cago, at which the tobacco trade had
not been given its proper position in
the industries or commercial products
of this country.

THE ROADS AND CONvICTS.
Lenoir County's Satisfactory Expert
ment.

Lenoir county's experiment OF work.
ing short term convicts on the road
during the past year is reported to
have given most satisfactory results.
The cost is said to be not exceeding
fifteen cents per day for food and
clothes for each convict. No guard
were employed. One superintendent
or foreman, unarmed, had charge Of the
squad. Each convict was photo
gfaphed and carefully described, and
cautioned that if he should attempt
to escape he would sooner or later be
caught and punished; but that if he
should remain at his post and work
faithfully, he would, at the end of his
term, be given reward. None have
tried to escape.

Rev. L. w. Crawford, brother of
our townsman, Capt. r. r. Crawford,
who was four years ago elected pro-
fessor of practical and systematical
theology in Trinity college, was at the
recent session of the Western North
Carolina Conference, of which he is a
member, offered the position of secre-
tary of education, but he declined it,
and requested the Bishop to give him
regular work. Professor Crawford,
previous to his going to Trinity col
1ege, had an unusual history as a pas
tor. For twenty years he served lead
ing stations and on every one remained
the full time allowed by law. He is
now assigned to Reidsville station.
This congregation has just finished a
handsome $40, 900 church and prom ises
