HOME SUPPLIES, AGAIN

In line with what we have recently
said in reference to the Importance
of our people raising their own food
supplies are the following extracts
from an article in the Aberdeen Tele-
gram:
"We will remain poor until some
great evils right at our doors are
remedied. We believe that not less
than $4,000 a month goes from
Moore county to Richmond, Va, aud
other markets for meal, corn, hay,
-four, and bacon, that ought to stay
at home. Every pound of these five
staple articles that is needed in the
county can be raised here at home,
and should be. just think for a
| moment what a difference there
! would be in the business Of the
county if the $24 900 land we think
this is a low estimate) that is sent
out for the five articles should go
| into the hands of our own farmers,
and rom them into the other chan
nels OF business. We would hear less
crying about hard times, we would
have less credit business, and our
people would be independent. We
need to be more self-reliant.
AS long as we keep our barns and
smoke houses in Richmond, Chicago
and Kansas City, and try to bridge
the chasm with cent cotton, we will
not only remain poor, but will grow
poorer every year.
We want to see our farmers not
only raise sufficient supplies for Their
Own use, but surplus wherewith to
furnish the local markets, and ther
we want to see the local markets give
the preference to home raised snp-
plies. When we see these things WI
will see better condition of affairs
for both town and country folks.

LETTERS from Spain, purported to
have been written in a Spanish
prison. similar to the one received by
a Salem gentleman some weeks ago,
seem to be floating around generally.
The papers report that they have
been received by gentlemen in Char
lotte, N. c., and Columbia, 8. c., and
we presume that many similar docu
ments have been received and not
reported by the newspapers. We
suppose the writer perseveres with
the hope that he will strike sucker
after awhile, and it may he that he
will. Men have been known to bite
at bats NO more plausible than this.
For instance, the fellow that walks
into the bucket shop drag net is
almost as sure to lose, sooner OF
later, as the fellow that swallows the
Spanish prison story. with it's solicit
tude for rich and beautiful daugh-
ter.

JUBAL A. EARLY'S JULEP.
Temperance Commentary by Vance OF
North Carolina.

Temperance Commentary by Vance of
North Carolina.
Nearly quarter Of century ago,
as all old and mldd Gagged persons will
remember, the religious temperance
women of the north organized a move
ment against the saloons, which as
sumed large proportions and took the
form Of q veritable crusade. 1t invad-
ed almost every city and large town,
bands Of enthusiastic women going
from saloon to saloon praying and
singing in every place where they could
secure permission, While the crusade
of the praying sisters was at Its
height that stanch old rebel, Jubal A.
Early, visited Richmond, Va, for the
first time since the close Of the civil
war. "In the hotel" said he to the
writer, II met my old friend, Governor
Vance Of North Carolina, since United
States senator. Although l was not
the governor OF South Carolina, Vance
suggested that 1t had been long time
fifteen years in our case-between
drinks, and we went in quest Of ju-
lep. General said he, after remark
ing that Virginia was the place for ju-
leps, have you read how the women
Of the north are trying to destroy the
liquor traffic by praying in the sa-
loons?' told him that had, when he
asked. DO you believe it's true? /
have an idea that it's only joke Of the
yankee newspapers told him that II
was true, that friend Of mine had
witnessed the rather unique proceeding
In Columbus, 0. Where do they get
their authority, general? For the life
OF me | cant understand They pro-
fess to get 1t from the bible, l replied.
Now look here, Early he responded
very earnestly, as boy and young
man was q pretty regular Sunday
school scholar, and the only instance
In the bible that l can recall where
any one ever asked for water was q
poor devil in hell where l think he
rightly belonged"

THREE SPANISH SPIES
 MAKE THEIR ESCAPE
Futile Efforts to Capture the Men Who Tried to Destroy a Fort
 Taylor Mortar Battery.

KEY WEST, May 29.-The three sup posed Spaniards who tried to blow up the mortar battery near Fort Taylor on Thursday night have not yet been captured. Captain Merrill, command ant at the Notifications, had armed searching parties out looking for them last night, and to-day the torpedo boat Porter has been scouting in the adja- cent waters in search of them, but without success. They are thought either to have gotten safely off to Cuba, or to be in hiding on one of the neigh boring keys.
 Two of the suspects were seen driv- ing along the beach road near the for tifications yesterday afternoon. They were followed to the eastern end of the island, where they were joined by a third man. All boarded a rowboat and made for Stock Island, a neighboring key. One, who is thought to be the leader, carried rifle. When last seen their boat was approaching a sloop or schooner lyinf off Stock Island. This morning both sloop and small boat were gone. The authorities have de- tailed descriptions of the men.

the story told by Krohn is impossible of belief, because 1t is contradicted by facts that cannot lie.
 It is possible that Krohn can furnish some explanation for this and other apparent contradictions to his story but he prefers to let the public place its own construction on the suspicious cir cumstances of the case as it now ap- pears. So far as the county is con- cerned, the alleged robbery will result in no public loss, as Krohn's bondsmen are responsible under the law. The money that Krohn claims was stolen should have been paid into the treas ury some time ago, and the fact that 1t was not paid makes Krohn and his bondsmen responsible for it's loss
 The work of exporting Krohn's ac- counts is going slowly forward, but the result will not serve to throw any light on the supposed robbery. The books will show that Krohn should have had in his possession the amount of money he claims to have had, but they will not show whether Krohn had appro- priated to his own use or whether it was stolen at the time and in the man her in which he says it was. The only result that the expert will be able to at amount which will have to be made good by the bondsmen.
 In this connection the generous action of Krohn's brothers and relatives is worthy of special notice. They have signiffed their intention of turning over to the bondsmen all of their property without reserve in order that the bondsmen may indemnify themselves for the money they will be forced to turn over to the county. The property so offered amounts in value to more S20

THE HARVARD TAKING
 ON COAL AT KINGSTON.
She Will Be Allowed to Remain in Port Twenty-four Hours Longer
 Than Usual

KINGSTON, Jamaica, May 2S (de- layed in transmission. ).-The United States auxiliary cruiser Harvard, for merly the American line steamer New York, is coaling here. The Colonial Government Is undecided as to how much coal she will be allowed to take on board, but she will probably ship six hundred tons at least, enough for all present purposes. AS something trifiing is wror~ with her steering gear and her boilers are dirty, she will be allowed to remain here 24 hours longer than usual, under the neutrality regulations With the exception of medicines, the Harvard has not taken on board any supplies.
 Captain Cotton of the Harvard said that all were well on board the squad ron when he left the vessels under the command of Commodore Schley on Fri day. Rear Admiral Sampson was then supposed to be off the northwest coast of Cuba.

COMMERCE OF COUNTRIES
 NEAR THE PHILIPPINES
Statistics of Interest to American Producers in View of Present
 Conditions.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The com- merce of the countries adjacent to the Philippine Islands is the subject of a series of tables which will appear in the next monthly publication of the Bureau of Statistics.
 The statement consists of tables showing the population and commerce of the islands adjacent to the Philip pines, and the share which the United States and other nations had in the commerce for @ series of years, and is accompanied by a map showing the steamship routes and distance from that port to the ports of the adjacent countries. The fact that the countries now in easy reach of the Philippines contain a population of 85,000 900, that their purchases from other parts of the world amount to over a billion dollars every year and their exports to a like sum, and that the larger portion of these purchases comprise the classes Of goods produced in the United States, ject. The tables will show the popuIa- tion and area of the countries, their trade with each of the leading nations of the world and the percentage which each nation obtains of their exports and imports, the articles which have been exported to each by the United States during the past five years and the total commerce of the United States with each of the principal countries of that section by years since 1SS0

CERVERA CARRIED NO
 FOOD TO SANTIAGO
Landed Men and Arms, but Brought No Provisions to Relieve the
 Famine Situation

PORT AU PRINCE, May 2e.-Two Italians who set out from Santiago de Cuba in small boat on May 19 and landed near Mole St. Nicholas on the 22d, arrived here to-day bringing in formation as to the situation at San tiago. The state of affairs there Is critical, particularly so because of the lack of food A great many of the un- fortune people, especially the recon centrados, are dying of starvation. The whole population is terribly dis couraged and keenly desirous of peace.
 The arrival of the squadron under Cervera without food supplies for the city deepened the general despond- ency.
 The squadron has disembarked 800 men. artillery men and engineers, and landed 10000 Mauser rifles, a great quantity of ammunition and four big guns destined for the Notifications.
 In spite of the strict silence main- tained by the officers and the com manders, the general expression was, when the Italian left, that the squad ron would set out for San Juan, Porto munition there

 of Great Value
 Copyrighted. 1898. by James Gordon Bennett.
 BERLIN, May 29.-I am in a posi- tion to inform you that English off, cers' expressions of friendship to Ger many, ambiguously referred to by Joseph Chamberlain at Birmingham. were of a most decided character. In fact, they have taken official as well as non- official Germany rather by sur prise. It is even asserted here that the project includes a possible colonial con- cession of great value to Germany, pre- sumably as the price for drawing Ger many away from Russia.
 I have also authority for the state nent that the idea of England, Ger many and America joining hands is be- ing seriously entertained, not so much here, but in Washington and London, whence it Is forced on German atten- ton.
 The rumor that Sir Frank Lascelles was about to be transferred from here is utterly unfounded. The British Elm bassador is persona gratissima with the Emperor.

has been decided to enforce only a mod crate revenue tariff upon the Philip subject like the goods of other nations and this is already so great a departure from tradition as to render other de- partures less surprising. Cuba will be given every chance of freedom, but if, as may be, she lacks the clements of inde- pendence, she must become American; sure. Europe, therefore, needs to en- visage a development of American pol icy which will upset many calculations and possibly radically modify the pres ent balance of power.

days exhilaration, the vender Of town
lots remembered this, and before start
ing for home bought two of the finest
wide-spreading crgstaceans that ever
came out of the Atlantic. To insure
their arrival in good condition, he had
them put in a large market basket,
half filed with ice. and covered them
with a piece of paper. AS soon as he
got on a Fifth avenue car the trouble
began. Those Holsters grew tired of
their seelusion and began to get in

car was crowded and their owner had
