LoNEoN, Feb. 16.-London was elec-
| trifed today by the posting OF The fol-
10 wing notice at the war. Office at Gal
q. m., received at 4:30 a. N. today,
from Gen. Roberts to the secretary of
war:
Jacobsdal, Feb. 16, 2 a. m.-"Geu.
French, with horse artillery, cavalry
and mounted infantry reached Kin ber-
ley this evening (Thursday)."
From the fact that there is no men
tion of any battle and that Roberts
himself wires from Jacobsdal, which
had previously been Boer base of
supplies for Magersfontein, IL is sup
posed that the Beers retired into the
Orange Free State without Offering
battle.
News of the relief of Kimberley
comes like a ray of sunshine out of a
dark cloud. Public rejoicing is wide
spread and unrestrained, Lord Roberts,
whose first move has been such a
brilliant success. being praised to the
skies. The relief of the besieged city
is due in the pu blic mind to mis- bril-
liant strategy. Kitchener and
French are not forgotten, as it is be-
lieved that the former organized the
forces and that French, the cavalry
leader, executed Roberts's plan of
boldness and dash.
The movement began or Monday
when French swooped down on De-
Kills Drift and crossed Rise river.
Tuesday he continued his dash and
moved his forces % miles IN little
over six hours, capturing three Boer
Laagers at Kip Drift on the Modder
River. The march was accomplished
during fierce sandstorm and while
the heat was terrific. That was the
last heard of him until the relief OF
Kim berley was announced today. 1t is
figured that after brief rest he push
ed right on for Kimberley, reaching
there less than 4S hours after his cap
ture of Kip Drift.
The siege of Kimberley began on
Oct. Is. About 4, ZOO men under Col.
Kekewich have defended the place
with bravery aud skill. Many times
the Beers have attacked it without
definite success. Gen. CroDje COM
manded the besiegers. Reports from
Kimberley at various times have told
of the sufferings Of the garrison and
the people cooped up there, but In the
face OF this, the city has held up stub
bornly for the relief which has at last
come.
Cecil Rhodes was cooped up IN Kim
berley and the desperate efforts of the
Beers TO capture the place were
prompted in large degree by their
desire to take as prisoner the man
whom they hold responsible for the
whole trouble in South Africa.

A POPULAR REFORr1.

The movement for the establish
ment Of a reformatorv for youthful
criminals is gaining strength every
day. The reformatory is one of the
things bound to come; as the polite
ians would say, it is now only a ques-
ton of majority. Early in August,
the State Alliance unanimously en-
dorsed tho movements: later in the
same month, the State Press Associa-
ton gave the ide, its hearty approval;
last month the State Reformatory
Association was organized by repre-
scntatives OF practically all the religi-
Gus denominations and fraternal orders
in the State, and last week the North
Caronlina Presbyterian synod cor
daily endorsed the re;ormatory. With
things moving in this way, it is be-
lieved that the Legislature will also
have to join the procession and .n-
dOrse the mnvement-a contamination
devoutlv to be wished.

TURNABOUT FAIR PLAY.
How One Editor Got Even With the
Man Who Wanted to Work Him Gut
of Lot of Free Advertising.

Mr.. Cinnamon, one of the village
grocers, walked into the office Of the
village paper, and laying down a
ticket and fancy circular on the desk.
thus spoke to the editor:
'Here's little church entertain
ment we are getting up, and we would
like YOU to give Us little notice in
the locals for the next two weeks,
and print some Of these recommends
tons
'All right, said the editor, but
where did you get your printing
done"
"Oh." said the grocer. 1--WE got that
done at the other Office
"Well,' replied the scribe. Il shall
have to charge You for the notices, so
much per line"
'Oh, but" said the grocer, I'VE
don't expect to pay for them; we ex-
pect YOU to give us these notices. for
the good Of the cause, and to help US
along"
We'll, we'll" the editor replied;
when you want free notices YOU come
to me; but when you have work that
is to be paid for. you take it some
where else. Is that the racket"
We'll, you see, said Mr.. Cinnamon,
your paper has the largest circula-
ton, and all the people read it; that's
why we want the notices in it, but we
don't want to pay for them"
"All right, said the editor, I'm
think it over.
Next day the editor walked down to
MIR. Allspice's and bought pound of
coffee, of rich aroma. Then he went
up to Mr.. Cinnamon's and said to him
thusly: Il would like You to make
me present of seven pounds of sugar
to sweeten this coffee with, when |
drink it.
Where did you buy your Coffee"
said Mr.. Cinnamon.
Il bought it down the street at Mr..
Auspices grocery" said the editor,
land paid cash for it,
Then you must 90 and ask him to
give You the sugar to sweeten it with;
don't ask me. If you have the money
to buy this coffee with, don't come to
me for free sugar
well" said the editor, Il thought
turnabout was fair play. You came
to me yesterday and asked me to give
you free notices to your show, after
YOU had got your printing done some
where else. 1t is 4 poor rule that
won't work both ways. isn't it?"
"Well, yes" said Mr.. Cinnamon,
