PARIS, March 26.-The Chamber OF

condemned by the censor as immoral,
will be read in it's hearing. During the

unusually active. A number of plays
have been refused by him and three
have very recently been condemned.
This has led to some cutlery against

has been steadily growing de-
mand for better and better grades
of goods in all lines. This is es
pecially true in the grocery de-
partment, where in addition to the
ordinary grades Of staple goods,
there is an imperative demand
and good sale for a large line OF
highest grade fancy groceries
which is now kept in stock the
year round. On this point these
gentlemen say; "Our trade de-
mands these goods, and although
we sell as low as, if not lower, than
they are sold in the northern cities,
some few complain about high
prices. These complaints are not
we'll grounded, for high grade
goods, the best in the market, are
everywhere comparatively high in
price, either at wholesale or retail.
We do strictly cash business on
a strictly one-price basis. We
have never charged a resorter or a
visitor one penny more for the
same kind of goods than we charg-
ed our citizen or native customers.
There is no discrimination for or
against any class of customers"

groceries, dry goods, notions, cloth
ing, boots, shoes, and, in brief,
everything usually carried in a
general store except hardware.
Mrs. C. T. Patch also manages

The History Of One Of Our Leading
Business Establishments. A Re-
raarkable Growth.

1I1arKaole GroWth.
Once upon a time travelling
salesman grew weary Of travelling.
He heard of Southern Pines. His
brother was here for the purpose
of caring for sick wife. He
liked the place and saw in it great
business opportunities. He wrote
to the travelling salesman, advising
him to travel here, then travel
no more as a salesman; he would
not need to do so, for here were
opportunities galore only waiting
for some one to take advantage Of
them. The travelling salesman
received this letter of advice and
acted upon it. So much for the
cause. The effect is an excellent
business of $4,000 per year,
steadily growing, and an establish
.ment that is a credit to it's builders
and to the community. The
travelling salesman was G. 1.
Patch, the brother who advised
his coming here was j. NJ. Patch
and the establishment is the general
store of G. T. Patch & Brother.
Opened February 1st, 1897, with
a stock of general merchandise
representing an investment of 3d.

amounted to $4,000. Business

tiers and another storeroom was
added to original one; increased

until now the summer stock re-
presents between $4,000 and 49,
900 and the winter, or resorting
season stock is never less than
$4,000. Mr.. @. T. Patch says
that the difference in the volume

is largely on account of the fact
that many more people every year
are renting cottages and coming
earlier in the season than formerly.
Still more, after one or two seasons

and renters, are buying or building
their own homes and living here
all the year. This accounts in
part for the gratifying volume of
business done in the summer

Some days after the revolution Mr.

about these matters that we could not

he might be struggled In as an at

GEN. BULLER PROPOSED
TOAST TO THE KING

London. Nov 3O.-The Devonian din
ner, at which General Butler presided
at the Hotel Cecil, tonight, was the
scene of great enthusiasm and a re-
markable tribute to the personal pop
uiarity of the discredited general. But
it passed off without any actual anti
government demonstration.
Long before the hour fixed for the re-
ception the great court yard of the hotel
was crowded with Bullerites. The ar
rival of General and Lady Audrey Bull
Ter was the signal for enthusiastic
cheering.
The most dramatic scene was in the
banquet hail. where General Butler, as
the presiding officer, proposed the health
OF the King by whose order the general
had been compulsorily retired from the
army. A remarkable demonstration en-
sued For several minutes there were
deafening cheers, the waving of hand
kerchiefs and singing. 1t is doubtful if
London has ever seen more hearty or
more equfvocaI response to the toast to
the King.

THE REAL RESULT OF
THE SCHLEY INQUIRY

Concerning the real matter of the
inquiry, the efficiency of Rear-Admiral
Schley. the partisan press and public
will not have its mind changed by
anything that the court may find. He
will remain the hero of a large part of
the public; and there is little chance
that proper reward, such as was rec
commended to the Senate by President
Mckinley, will ever be given to the
officers and the men who took part in
the battle of Santiago. On the other
hand, the greater part of the navy
itself, it is perfectly well-known, re-
gard Rear-Admiral Schley not as
coward. but as a spectacular officer who
plays to the galleries; and in naval
annals Rear-Admiral Sampson will
always remain the hero of the siege
and of the battle. Historians will
face these two facts every time they
make an investigation into contempt
airy opinion-the preponderance of ma
val opinion on one side, the preponder-
ance Of lay opinion on the other."-

A Slave Boys Work

I used to take the corn. once a week,
TO be ground. The mill was about
three miles from the plantation. The
heavy bag would be thrown across the
back of the horse, the contents evenly
divided on each side; but frequently,
on these trips, the corn would fall off
the horse, and often 1 would fall with
it. As 1 was not strong enough to re-
load it. I would have to wait, some
times for many hours. till a chance
passer-by came along who could help
me out of my trouble. The hours of
waiting were usually spent in crying.
1t made me late in reaching the mill.
and by the time I reached home, it
would be far into the night. The road
was a lonely one and led through
dense forests. 1 was always fright
ened. The woods were said to be full
of soldiers who had deserted from the
army. and I had been told the first
thing a deserter did to a Negro boy
when he found him alone, was to cut
off his ears. Besides. when ] was
late, 1 knew I would get a severe
scolding or fiogging.-Booker T. Wash
