CLEN ELAND AND CUBAN INDEPEN-

james Creelman Says the President is
Plotting Against the CubanS i'll
Spain'S Interest.
lanes Creelman, the noted war cor
respondent, who Is III Madrid, Spain,
writes to the New York Journal as fol-
lows:
1t has taken me many days 10 trace
out the astounding dealings of Presl-
dent Cleveland and lis administration
with the Spanish monarchy, but | am
now in a position to give the Ameri-
can public some light Oh the subject.
Actual facts SHOW that Cleveland S
offer Of mediation WAS simply cover
under which the American govern
ment secretly proposed to help Spain
to overthrow AMI suppress the republic
of Cuba and 10 enforce peace on the
island on terms which the patriot army
would not accept.
This offer was not made in the form
Of a written document, transmitted
through the usual channels, but for the
sake OF greater secrecy was conveyed
in verbal statement made by Score.
tary Olney to the Spanish minister al
Washington, De Lone, who cabicd
the whole matter to Madrid.
The understanding was that if Cuban
leaders refused to lay down their arm:
| upon conditions of local self-eovern
ment to be proposed to them by Oh
through the United States, the whole
influence and power of the American
government would be eXerted to crush
the new republic.
The slightest investigation by con.
gress will reveal the truth of this state
ment. | have the facts upon unim
peachablc authority, but the most sur
prlSlng tact in this we'll conceived con-
spIracy against the Cuban republic is
that in order to help Spain in her PIT
less campaign Of massacre, Secretary
Olney has not presented any of the
claims for damages arising cut of the
destruction of American property IN
the present war.
And now Cleveland and Olney pro-
pose to ask the Cuban patriots in the
hour of their victory to abandon their
free government, surrender their arms
and trust themselves again into the
hands OF Spain. The Spaniaris know
that the Cubans vii! never give W
their republic, unless the United States
coerces them. Canovas wants delay.

ACTION.

What is said below applies with
equal force to Henderson as else
where. We copy from the Winston
Sentinel:
There is an old Injunction that is
full of meaning. 1t is this: "Strike
while the III is hot."
BY following it, many plans have
been fashioned into desired shape. By
Ignoring it, thousands of blows have
been struck without appreciate ef-
feet.
Much has been written and much
has been said about renewed efforts
towards material progress. The peo-
pie as a whole, have Eeen thinking
and talking along this line, recently,
to a greater extent than for years.
In other words, the iron has been
in the fire and has been heating. IS it
not time that some striking was being
done?
OF course, we should not expect too
much, nor a rush at results, but We
want to see evidences tina, our talking
is to be followed closely by action.
Don't lie, the general interest in this
important matter die out because of
inactivity. Let the Chamber Of Com
merCe and other organizations don
their working clothes and get at it.
AT least partially applicable 10 our
own community is the following from
the Richmond Dispatch in reference
to that city:
"Of course, the Disba!th wishes to
bring outside capital here, but we
must show our money as the say
ing is, before Others will show theirs.
There is an abundance of money here
TO make start-notwithstanding the
losses that our capitalists have met
with IN their investments in other cit
les. When we show our faith in our
city, others Will be ready enough TO
come to our aid.
Our city's needs etc, have been
fully, ably, earnestly and repeatedly
discussed. Action, action, ACTION is
now what is wanted While we have
been liking rival cities have been
working. We mus, organize now TO
keep all the business We have, and to
bring new business here. Good times
for us may never come unless We do SO.

erty, and to fill the tills of our mer-
chants and make this a highly pros

ROMANCE OF A TAR HEEL

From one Of cur exchanges we take
ll.c following. AS 70 what part Of
North Carolina the person mentioned
halls from we are not informed:
"king Omalea, Of the Illkan Is
lands, in the New Hebrldes group,
was marie Dec. 3o.h, 1896, to
Miss Ella Collier, of New York
CITY,"
Commenting on the above item
the Concord StaNa,uH says:
This notice is only interesting to
North Carolinians because King Oma-
lea IS Col. Jno. +. Hobbs, a native of
North Carolina, who was shipw1ecked
in 1850 and rescued by these islanders
who held him captive instead of eat
ing him as was their custom. The
colonel instructed them in the usage
of the sword and lying in ambush,
and thereby gaining them complete
| victory over their enemies. They
considered him as special messenger
sent by the great White Spirit, and
in 1890 when their king died from a
surfelt, of fat roast pig stuffed with
| bananas he was unanimously chosen as
monarch.

The Late Mrs. D. Y. Cooper.

\ correspondent writing to the Neecs
and Observer under date Of Jan. LIST,
says:
\ deep gloom was thrown over our en-
tire community this morning by the an
nOuncement of the sad and sudden death
of Mrs d. Y. Cooper. Mrs. Cooper was
not only the wife of our most prominent
and popular business men, but was a
woman of rare qualities of mind and
heart and it is not strange that her
death, so unexpected, should come as IL
great shock to her beloved husband and
large family connection, but also to he1
| many friends and neighbors. Few knew
of her illness. In fact she had been sick
! for only about week or ten days, and
on yesterday appeared SO much better
| that her friends were reioiced thinking
that she would be entirely well in a few
| days.
Besides husband and five children,
| Mrs. Cooper leaves one brother, Col
| Henry Perry, of Henderson, and tire
sisters, Miss Stella Perry and Mrs. A. c
ZOllicoffer, of Henderson, and Mrs. DR..
W. II. Nicholson, OF Louisburg. AS Mel
| lie Perry, raised in Louisburg, Mrs
| Cooper was well known throughout the
| State and admired and beloved by all,
| for seldom has there lived in any com
| munity, woman so tender and true and
so faithful to all the obligations as vel
| as privileges OF life. She was an active
and earnest member of the Protestant
| Episcopal church and will be much
| missed in her church work and charity

sore trial, and the motherless little ones

sympathy of large family connection
but the heart felt sympathy OF many
