Grover Cleveland Goes A.Fishing.

While the rank and flo of both politi-
cal parties are hard at work Grover
Cleveland, twice President of these
United States, has gone fishing. Ho loft
his home last week for two week. s
fishing trip to keep from voting tho
Democratic ticket.
Here's genuine case of migrate for
you. Look at the bulbous figure undcr
tho wide sun shade as ho throws out tho
line for the wary pickerel. No shoulder
bent under tho weight of anxiety over
elections there. No concern on that
countenance as to tho fate of tho party
to which ho is supposed to bolong.
And yct the Democrats of America
chose this figure out of tho obscuroncss
of tho Sherif's Office in town Of West
ern New York and made him President.
Not onco, but twice, did this party give
this high honor to this same man, tho
greatest gift ever made to any man by
any people. And what do thoy see in
rcturn2 Cleveland, tho migrate, dclibcr-
ately refuses to do his part even in tho
small degree in which the poorest la
boror in the Democratic ranks will help.
This man who owes SO much to tho
party churlishly deserts the post of duty
while thousands of others who owe their
party less arc striving like honest Demo-

Death OF Ex-Mayor Strong.

William l.. Strong, tho last mayor of
the old city of New York, died suddenly
on November 2 at his residence in that
city.
Mr.. Strong took an active part in the
present campaign and it is said that his
political labors, combined with his at
tempts to retain supervision over his
business affairs in the face of impaired
health, brought about the illness that
resulted in his death.
William l.. Strong was born in Ohio
and camo to New York when a young
man. IIe found employment with diff
fcrcnt firms until January |, 1870, when
hc organized the firm of William L..
Strong e Co. The firm soon grew to
be one of tho prominent business houses
in that city.
Mr.. Strong took an active interest in
politics and was ono of the leaders of
the reform movement in that city, and
was elected mayor on tho Republican,
Citizens Union ticket in 1904.

Short Cotton Crop.

Charlotte Observer: Mr.. John w. Mil
lcr, who has recently returned from his
annual visit through tho cotton bolt of
Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and
Georgia-tho cotton belt east of the
Mississippi river-states that he believed
tho crop on this side of tho river would
be from 10 to Is por cent less than the
crop OF last year. AS Mr.. Miller has
mado this same trip of 2,1OO miles for
the last threc years, his Judgment is apt
to be good in the matter. On tho west
side of the Mississippi, Mr.. Miller said,
tho crop is botter than it was last year,
and it is probable that tho increase thero
will counterbalance tho decrease on this
side, which will make tho crop about tho
same as it was last year. Mr.. Miller said
that tho best cotton he saw in the terri
tory botwoen Greenvillo, Miss, and
Charlotte, is in the territory between
here and Belmont. This Wow was also
entertained by Con. Stephen d. Lee,
who travelled with Mr.. Miller from
Greenvilio to Charlotte

was big lot of money, but sit goes

In his talk with the detectives he said
that he had enjoyed life at tho ratio of
$4,000 a year or moro. He expected no
mercy, but intimated that after serving
his sentence he would again be an active
figure in the world.
Nine out of ten defaultcrs arc like
Alvord When they get to the end of
their row it is generally found that they
have only Il few dollars left.
1t seems that men cannot, or will not,
save ill-gotten gains. When they steal
money they always squander it, and
when they are caught they are almost
pcnnilcss.
Alvord had a good position with the
First National Bank of New York and nc
could have lived comfortably and saved
money out of a salary of $1,000 year.

detection leaves his family paupcrs,
