William jefferson Pollard, known
as 1.-The Stentor of all Missouri" is now
judge of the Fourth District Court of
St Louis. His voice, which is described
by an enthusiastic local paper as
as the basso profundo, penetrating as
Gabriels silver trumpet, and sweet as
an Aeolian harp" won him the position
of reading clerk in the Missouri State
Assembly, and in many city and state
Democratic conventions. He was also
one of the reading clerks in the Demo-
cratic National Convention at Chicago
in 1896.

The President seems TO be having
some difficulty IN finding a successor
to Secretary Gage. The fact is, the
place is a difficult one to fill satisfac-
torily. Mr.. Gage has made an excel
lent head OF the Treasury Department,
and whoever follows him will neces-
sarily be compared with him. Ex-Gov.
Crane of Massachusetts declined the
position on the ground that he had
illness in his family, and also because
he was unable to arrange his business
affairs on such short notice. Gov.
Shaw OF Iowa has been asked whether
or not he would consider the question
of accepting the place, and he now has
the matter under Amusement His term
of Governor viii expire on Jan. 1. 1t
seems a little curious that the Presi-
dent should go to Iowa for a successor
to Mr.. Gage since the Secretary of
Agriculture, Mr.. Wilson, is from that
state. There is a pretty strong proba-
bility that Gov. Shaw will be the next
Secretary of the Treasury.

1t is a source of satisfaction to the
taxpayers to know that there is no
need at present TO purchase a site for
cemetery. The survey that has just
been made shows that there are at
least 1,4OO available lots in Laurel
Grove Cemetery. That number ought
TO be sufficient for at least ten years,
particularly as the tendency is to
secure lots in Bonaventure. We assume
that the report of the city surveyor
will check the movement in behalf of
purchasing a cemetery site. At pres
ent the city has outstanding obliga-
items in notes amounting to about $780,
600. That debt ought not 20 be in
creased at present unless there is an
imperative necessity for doing so. The
necessity does not seem to exist.

Secretary Long of the navy says that
he has no intention of resigning. but
the opinion prevails in Washington
that he viii not remain in the cabinet
very much longer. While he is on the
very best terms with the President, the
fact is not concealed that he and the
President have very different ways of
doing things. That naturally makes a
littlefriction. 1t would not be surprising,
therefore, II Mr. Long should come TO
the conclusion within the next few
months that his private business af-

1t seems that ex-President Cleveland
is by no means a well man vet. He
has been confined to his room for five
weeks. and is not able to attend to his
correspondence. 1t was stated several
weeks ago that he was out of danger.
and the public lost sight of the fact
that he was still an i'll man. Thinking
that he was well, some of his CORE
spondents began to complain that he
neglected to reply to their letters. That
brought the explanation that his phys
ical condition is not yet such as to
permit him to attend to his CORE
spondence. He is held in high esteem
and the hope for his speedy recovery
is general.

FRESH EGGS.

1t Is likely that the farmers do not
read the marine column closely for
items of interest to them; neverthe-
less our marine column a few days
ago contained an item that ought
to be of interest to every farmer in
Chatham county. 1t told of the mar
keting done for the ships in port,
and what ships were the best buy
ers. But the best of all buyers" it
which take the finest obtainable and
an abundance of it. When the Van
derbilt yacht was here last year two
men rode all over this end of Chat
ham county for a few dozen fresh
laid eggs, which were put aside in
the pantry for the special use of the
owner. These were probably the high
est-priced eggs ever sold on the river
front" Inquiry develops the fact that
Mr.. Vanderbilt's agents were able to
procure only about ten dozen eggs,
after an all-day search among the
suburban farms. and that the cost,
procuring them included, was about
so cents a dozen. The shipping item
stated further that the season for
the visits of Northern yachts is now
about opening, and that several of
the craft are due to arrive within the
next few days. at
Have the farmers of Chatham
plenty of fresh eggs to offer them?
If not why not? 1t cannot be because
poultry will not thrive and lay in this
county. The mildness of the climate
ought to be an advantage in the poul-
try business. There are very few DAYS
in the year when the ground is frozen,
or when poultry needs protection from
the weather. There is an abundance
or excellent water and the soil yields
bountifully of food crops good for
chickens. Is it a case of cant" or
won't" in the matter of producing
poultry and eggs?
The yachts, by the way. afford but
very small part of the market for
fresh eggs. There is a large local
demand, and it could be made much
larger by intelligent cultivation. We
recall that some time ago physician
prescribed fresh-laid eggs for one of
his patients. To procure a few. lust
enough for a sick person to eat. it
was found necessary for the head of
the family to take a buggy and drive
half dozen miles through the coun-
try. And notwithstanding all of that
trouble, fresh eggs were hard to find.
There are many families in the city
that would be glad to have fresh,
laid eggs for their tables, even at an
advance over the market price. But
the eggs are not to be had. With
apparently abundant opportunities all
around us for egg and poultry produc-
ton, we have to depend upon not
only other counties but other states
to supply our wants in these articles
