Hale, are outstanding against the community to the amount of over S160, 900 and pos sibIy over $2OO, 900, and the supreme court of the state has decided that the town must pay. Leading citizens unite In saying that the debt never can be paid and that m attempt to iasten It's full col. lection on the town would result in every body's moving away. The larger proper ty owners declare that they must and would emlgrate in that case, and one Of the principal manufacturers there has al- ready planned for the removal of. his in- dustry In case the noteholders insist upon full payment. The coming town-meet- ing will be asked to appoint n committed tO effect n compromise with creditors at 25 cents on Si. Present indications are that this ofYer will be accepted for inc noteholders understand that insistpnoe upon full payment will result in the ruin of the town and leave them m possession of lot of deserted and much depreciat- cd real estate. Foxcroft has learned one lesson by this experience. It Will never again let town treasurer, nomatter how highly respected and implicitly trusted, run on for 90 years without having hls ac- counts once audited or inquired into.
 On Sunday and Monday the war cloud was very heavy. It was reported that Spain had requested the recall of Consul General Lee from Havana, and objected to supplies to the starving Cubans being carried by war ships. President McKIn- ley refused promptly to grant their re- quest. Later reports were given that Spain had not made any formal demand for Gen. Lees recall, and was not dis posed to Insist. The relief supplies to Cuba are to be carried by the light house house tender, Fern, so Spain can not ob- iect to this. At the present time the cloud Ia not quite so heavy.
 The house of representatives on Tues day unanimously passed bill placing $50 900 900 in the hands of President Mckinney for him to use when and where he considers necessary. The same meas. ure was passed unanimously by the senate Wednesday, and was promptly signed by the president. All pairs were broken, and every member of both houses present went on record as voting for the bill.
 The cruiser Montgomery has been sent to Havana to relieve the Fern.
 The house committee on rivers and har- bors voted Wednesday not to report a river and harbor appropriation bill at this session.
 Many congratulations are being re- oeived at the White House and the state department from all parts of the country upon the patriotic spirit exhibited in deal. Ing with the latest phases of the Cuban question. Most of them aIe official in character, but many are personally dl. rooted to the president.

WOMAN'S EXCHANGE.


A smile Of anticipation lighted up his
countenance as he turned aside and
entered the building.
A middle-aged, sharp-featured lady
In eyeglasses came forward and bowed
to him as he stepped up to the coun-
ter. and after slowly looking her over
he said:
Excuse me, madam, but air you the
only one they've got on hand at pres

THE only one on hand! What do
you mean?" was the puzzled reply.
1.-THE only woman, of course. 1 hain't

The CoIored Candidate.

If ThaddcuS Harris thinks that
the men of his race will rally to
his support he calculated without
a correct idea of the negro charac-
ter. There is nothing of the clan
ship, or kindShip or race pride IN
them that are peculiar to other
people. AS rule the colored vOt-
er understands that the Offices are
for white men, and that the prov
ince of the negro is only to select
the least deserving among the
candidates and to vote for him.
Thirty years of Servitude to an I'm
grateful party has fought them
absolutely nothing. For instance.
recently a negro was appointed
postmaster i'll Franklin county
and fool democrats as well as fool
Republicans raised a row about it..
In order to clear the skirts of the
Republican party of this COURAGE
a man was imported from Frank
.ln county, who solemly disavow-
ed the action and claimed that the
Democrats had done it to bring
the "Republicans into disrepute.v
In the face of this Insult every
negro who votes here will cast his
ballot for Walker, the notorious
negro hater and against Harris
who belongs to The race.
