We invite your attention to
the auction sale Of lots here adj

of Fremont, N. c., on Thurs
day, January %, 1902, at 2
o'clock in the afternoon.
Fremont is located on the
Wilmington G Weldon Rail
road, a section Of the great At
lantic Coast Line, in Wayne
County, and has a history that
is one of steady progress and a
future that is in every way most
promising. Its citizens are
thrifty, intelligent, law-abiding,
and progressive; and this is not
merely an assertion to boom the
town, but is a self-evident fact,
in it's fine school, its church edi-
fees, it's lovely homes, it's i'm
pressive business houses, its sub
stantial bank, and the general
air of modern progress that
characterizes the entire commu-
nifty. And when we come to
look for the reason of all this
aside from the intrinsic worth
of it's offensive find it in the
Ifar.reaching fertile lands, highly
cultivated, by which the town
is so fortuitously favored. These
Hands are inexhaustible in pro
ductiveness and adapted to al
kinds of crops: cotton, tobacco,
rice, corn, hay, in fact, every
thing that mother earth yields
to the industry of the farmer.

METHODIST CONFERENCE.
GATTIs A WARM SUBJECT.
Action Deferred. Refused Adj
mission to Superannuat-
ed Relation.


North Carolina annual confert nee
convened here this morning at
$3.50 10 Old Hay Street church.
The body was called to order by
Bishop Richard K. Hargrove,
who conducted the devotional ex.
ercises, reading selections from
the 44th chapter of Matthew.
The Conference Hymn No. 228,
"And are we yet alive, and see
each others face" was sung, after
which earnest prayer was offered
by the Bishop.
The Bishop requested the sec
rotary of the last conference to
call the roll, and 1O3 ministers
and Is lay delegrtes answered to
their names. Raw. w. L.. Gun
ninggim was reelected secretary
for the tenth time. Revs. N. H.
D. Wilson and Geo. T.. Simmons
were chosen assistants.
A special committee was ap-
pointed to enquire into the inan-
cial status of Fifth Street church,
Wilmington, and report to the
conference. The following is the
committee: r. E. Bumpas, Jno.
N. Cole and D. H. futile.
Call of question twenty was re-
sumed and the following names of
superannuated peachers were call
ed, their characters passed, and
names referred for continuance in
same relation; w. G. Thomas, j.
H. Page, w. G. Davis. When
the name of T. j. Gattls was call
ed, his presiding elder moved that
the same action be taken as one
year ago, that his character be
passed, but the fact noted that he
was involved in a legal complica-
ton with his brethren. This pre-
cipitated a warm discussion.
Bishop Hargrove said the mat
ter of Gattis' transfer to the
Western Conference was dis
cussed in the cabinet at Gastonia
and the brethren said they would
deplore the transferring of his
troubles to that conference. Rev.
Asa J. Parker said there were
rumors of perjury on the part Of
Gattis at the Oxford trial last
/ week in swearing he was absent
from the conference room when
DR.. Kilgo made his report at
Elizabeth City, some years ago,
and he therefore moved a special
committee to investigate. DR..
Yates said he doubted the ex-
pediency Of Parker's motion and
remarked: "The secular papers
are nearly all against US for
political purposes" DIR. Yates
advocated DR.. Gibbs motion to
pass Gattis' character under the
same conditions virtually as one
year ago. Rev. 6. A. Oglesby
doubted if that was the best
course to pursue. Rev. D. Ell.
Tuttle said he felt the time had
come 10 settle the matter; some
action should be taken at once.
He was opposed to passing 6
members character conditionally
while resting under the shadow
of a newspaper refeotlon or per
sonal insinuation, and closed by
urging the appointment of
special committee to consider thi
: case. Revs. F. D. Swindell ant
John N. Cole favored Dr.. Gibbs
motion. Mr.. Parker insisted OF
l his motion to investigate tn
rumors of perjury, but the~sam
was defeated oy a vote Of sixty
two to for'y.

 '"The Irish mem bers of Parliament are improving. They seem to have done fatr- ly well last night" said Maud Come to- night, in speaking of the riot in the House of Commons. She continued
 "It Is so much mere sensible for the Irish members to fight than to merely waste their time in talk, If the eighty Irish members would only keep up their tactics good might come of 1t. But they wont; it is enly a flash, Ireland will never regain her position until she can impose protective duties and develope her man. ufactures. That is the kind of home rule we want. This very year the best of op- portunity was allowed to slip by At one time there were but 5000 English troops in Ireland. If instead of spending millions on agitation Ireland had been buying guns and ammunition we might new be in position to revitalize our na- tion."

Washington, March 6.-The members oi the cabinet were sworn in today in the cabinet room at the White House. The ceremony was entirely informal, no one being present except the President, Chief Justice Fuller, who administered the oath, and Secretary Cortelyou. The members stood around the cabinet table and with uplifted hand repeated after the justice the oath of allegiance. After extending to each one and to the Presi- dent congratulations, Chief Justice Fuller withdrew. For about half an hour after wards the members of the Cabinet re- mained with the President discussing ap- pointments. The appointment of the war claims commissioners and the St. Louis Exposition commissioners will be made very shortly. In addition some other i'm portant appointments are pending

Meikeljohn's contest before the Nebraska Legislature, it Is known here that Colonel William Carey Sanger of New York has accepted the post of Assistant Secretary of War to succeed MT. Meikeljohn. It Is believed that the change will take place toward the end of this month.

NEGOTIATIONS
 ARE IN PROGRESS
Private Information Confirms Rumor That Botha Will
 Surrender

London, March 7.-Private information received in London this morning con firms the rumors of negotiations between Lord Kitchner, Sir Alfred and Command ant-General Louis Botha. Nothing is known of the actual presence of the Boer commander-in-chiefi in Pretoria, and no London paper publishes a statement that he is there, but it is reasonably certain that General Botha Is in personal or very close touch with Lord Kitchener.
 Today Sir Henry Campbell-B Zimmerman will endeavor to extract some informa- tion from the Governor on the subject in the House of Commons.
 The Associated Press is informed that Sir Alfred Milner has gone to Pretoria with the object of assisting Lord Kitch- ener in his negotiations the length of which appears to be due to General Be- tha's desire to consult with Acting Presi- dent Schalk-Burger at Pietzburg and to make terms applying to the whole Boer force; but, initiating against this Is Lord Kitchener's doubt as to General Botha's ability to control General DeWet and other leaders as well as the international opposition General Botha is encounter ing One of the best informed South Af- rican authorities said to representative of the Associated Press last evening:
 'We have little doubt that General Botha will surrender. The question .s now as to what forces he can bring with him, We have private information tend ing to show that Lord Kitchener and Sir Alfred Milner have decided to accept his surrender on the basis that he Is merely an individual commander, rather than commander-in-chiefo of the enemy's forces
 General Dewet and General Delary. as we'll as the other leaders. will probably have to be dealt with individually on sim liar terms If the negotiations with Gen eral Botha reach a successful termina- tien, 1t would be- to use an expressive Americanism, just one of the bunch.
 Tt is also understood that pr, Ledys was recently negotiating to secure peace. terms, but when 1t was discovered that he was merely acting farce, not being in communication with General Botha or not able to live up to the tentative sug- gestiens made, the British government having learned his views quickly ended the proceedings especially when it was found that Lord Kitchener was treating with General Betha, while Dr. Ledys was unable to speak authoritatively for the forces in the field''
 Curieusly enough the war office seems genuinely without definite information re- gardlng the exact status of affairs. The great financial firms whose interests in South Africa are almost equal to those of the government, believe from their pri- vate adyices that the present situation is likely to result in the surrender of General Botha and the forces under his immediate command. while the Boer units will remain in the field
