missioners have been called in to settle
a controversy that has arisen between
the Southern New England Telephone
company and William Scully of this

been attempting to put up telephone
poles in front of Scully's property.

ing that the telephone linemen would
steala march on him and succeed in set
ting up the poles. Saturday the tele-
phone company consulted the county
commissioners and yesterday the COM

property The telephone company be-
lieves that Scully has no jurisdiction in
the matter.

we feel every lady should be notified

dozen of Swiss Handkerchiefs, all per-
feet and fresh from St Gall. Imported,
| they were to retail at 25c to 39c. The
importer does a large business in plain
Irish Linen Handkerchiefs and found
| he could not work for two masters at
| the same time. You know the story ?
Well, he decided to sell his Swiss En-
| broidered Handkerchiefs at a fearful
| loss for cash. Needless to say we were
| put on the trail by our watchful friends
and secured the lot. Goods that cost
$3.50 to 1926 a dozen to import offered
and sold at 1212c each.

RALEIGH. n. c., January 1.-The
Populist caucus adjourned at midnight
There was a four-hours' discussion of the
senatorial race, i'm which Senator But
Ter and Congressman Skinner were pitted
against each other.
Butler declared that no Populist could
vote for Pritchard, because of the lat
ters insincerity TO silver. He charged
Skinner with threatening TO bolt. Skin
ner declared that the Populist duty TO
elect Prtchard was above the caucus.
He called on Butler TO name his candi-
date for senator He said his followers
would vote for a Populist, but for no
other Republican. save Pritchard. He
declared that Pritchard was as good a
silver man as Butler or himself, and
would surely be elected.
A member of the Legislature then
tnarged that the Populists were being
offered Federal patronage.
Skinner says ne went TO the caucus 10
force the fght-that Pritchard will be
elected i'm caucus or out Of it, as he had
the majority.
Butler said to a correspondent: 81 say
a straight unqualified free-silver man
will be elected. or else no one. This de-
scription does not apply TO Pritchard,
who does not meet the requirement"

COLONEL MONEY AT TAMPA.
His Observations in Cuba Likely to
Prove Valuable.

TAMPA, FLA. January 7-United
States senator-elect Money, of Mississip-
pi, arrived from Habana on the Plant
steamer Olivette this evening. and is in
excellent health. The mission of the
Senator to the island was to study the
Cuban question at short range and by
personal contact with those actually en-
gagged In the conflict. The rigid restric-
tions thrown around the situation by the
Spanish Government made his task diff
cult, but he succeeded in obtaining a
large fund of unpublished information
that will prove valuable 10 the country in
the halls of Congress. He talked inter
estingly of his trip to San Jose from
Habana, and says the island is being
made a desert. Senator Money, after
taking a look at the Tampa Bay Hotel,
the Casino and grounds. left at 1850 o'clock
for Washington over the Plant system.
Many prominent passengers came over
with the Senator, and from a reliable
source many things Of prime importance
were learned. In regard TO the story
published by the New York World about
the Competitors prisoners in Cabanas
prison one gentleman said it was base
fabrication. After IL came out, Consul
the prison TO know if a press correspond
ent was allowed to see American citizens
imprisoned there when the Consul-General
was denied the privilege. The command
ant replied that the World correspondent
had never been inside the Cabanas, and
had never seen Captain Laborde.
When asked how long the war could be
protracted by the insurgents, the gentle
man above quoted replied:
They can carry il on indefinitely.
The country is a land of perpetual sum
mer. and four crops year can be made.
Besides this. the whole country abounds
i'm root and fruit crops which no de-
vice OF war can destroy. The yucca,
yam, malaga, and sweet potato grow
all over the island. The royal palm
bears a kind of grain which is crushed
and used for both man and beast. The
plantain is a great food crop, besides
forty other varieties OF tropical fruits.
with which the country aboUnds. There
are plenty of cattle. hogs, and sheep
everywhere. The stories about starving
pacifcoos, non-combatants. women, ana
children are the veriest bosh. and the
stories of charity on the part of Wey-
Ter i'm feeding them all falsehoods.
Where the people have been driven in
side the Spanish lines, lands are par
celled out TO them. and they are or
dered to grow crops. For short time
he feeds them, and it was On one Of
these farms that the New York Herald
correspondent got his wonderful story Of
the starving poor carrying away soup
in old tin-cans and buckets at the libe-
ral-handed Weyler's expense"
