President Roosevelt gave a
Fourth of July speech at Pittsburg
during which he predicted that
the measure of Cuban Reciprocity
would be passed by Congress yet.
The President was right But not
by a Republican Congress. The
Trusts which have fattened on
high protection ride the Republi-
can like an Old Man of the Sea.
But the people will elect a Con-
gress that will carry out the will of
the American people in spite of the
Republican bosses and their big
Doodle fund, and do justice to
Cuba.

SNOW-WHISPERS.

Long past the midnight time I sat.
half-dreaming, all alone,
Whe mystic breathings came to me
fro q something then unknown;
TWAS swishing breath that seemed
to me too indistinct for sound,
Far softer than a baby's sigh, though
in an echo found.
The night without I had not seen,
for there / sat apart
From outer world, beside the fire,
till rising, I did start
To hunt the unseen thing that
breathed, when-lo! feecy white
Was frisking from the upper fields
into the solemn night.
And then knew that what I heard
while from the world, aloof,
Was lisp of whisking snow DER
ground and 'gainst my lowly roof,
With tiny secrets to my soul. told
tenderly and low
Some little messages from God, in
whispers of the snow.

Miss Laura Neal left last week
for Lemon Springs, where she
goes to enter school for the
spring term.
The school at Ebenezer has
been showed under for few
days. but will reopen as soon as
the weather is favorable.
The heaviest snow we have had
in some time, has caused every
body. to stay at home, for the past
few days and has brought farm
operations to q standstill.
From present indications the
ground hcg evidently understood
his ''peesness" when he saw his
shadow and went back in his hole
saying we would have six weeks
more of winter.
Miss Eugenia Coor is on a visit
to her mother, Mrs. Lon Dale, to
the delight OF her many friends.
The snow prevented her return
ing to her school this morning.
Mr.. J. S. Adams from near
your city makes semi monthly
trips on Saturday afternoon,
through our community selling

produce.

Monday, and she returned to her

A crop which promises good
returns this year, is rice. In
planting it, the farmers are sure
of a lot of good bay, whether
they make any money from she
grain or not.
North Carolina day was ap-
proprlately observed by Ebene-
Ger school last Friday. The ex.
ercises consisted in songs, reci-
tations, etc., all of which were
rendered with credit to both
teacher and pupils.
Sowing tobacco beds is now in
order and from present prospects
we think there will be Increased
acreage unless cotton goes to ten
cents about planting time, which
it now looks like doing.
Nearly all the oats sown last
fall have been killed by the Sc.
we're weather, and will necessi-
tate resolving this spring. This
is another loss to the farmers,
and comes at time when they
are the least prepared for it.
We don't mind being piled in
snow bank. altogether, but when
we fall out of a box, to which
runners had been attached, and
leave our numerous feet behind
and have to scramble around over
a whole front yar1 to get out, it
is calculated to mar our serenity,
to say nothing of the shock to
our sense of modesty, which gave
