THEY ARE RAISED AT HOME. {

The fact that native born North Caro-
Ira men took the honors at the great
Educational Conference at Athens
teaches a lesson which North Carolina
churches and North Carolina colleges
and other institutions ought to learn. 1t
is this: the men raised at home are full
ly equal to any men anywhere for the
best positions in North Carolina. Too
often trustees and congregations over
look the talent, ability and worth Of
native born North Carolinians and Sc
cure men of less ability from other
Sta ties. Several conspicuous mistakes
have been made by such mistaken
course.
1.-The best man for the place ought
always to be the motto for trustees and
congregations, and any policy that would
confine all the college presidencies and
professorships and leading churches to
home talent because it is home talent
would be a short-sighted provincialism.
But worse than that is the idea that too
often prevails that a man from some
other State will fill the bill better than
man of equal ability from North Caro-
lima. This is always a mistake, because
tie North Caroiinian of equal ability al
ways has in addition the indcfinable
something which was called "No'f Caljny
ways" in Esmerelda, which cannot be
found in anybody else, no matter how
brilliant or eloquent.

Cotton Causerie.

E. Degener- Boning, of FIavre, one of
the largest continental cotton importers,
has issued a cotton letter that is at
tracing much attention in the cotton
world. He differs widely i'll his views
from Mr.. Neill and Mr.. Ellison,
whose circulars have had the tendency
to depress prices. Here is the letter
from Havre in full of Mr.. j.. Degener-
Bcning as it appeared in Fridays FL
nancial Chronicle:
Havre, April 4 referring to my cir
oular of March 5, l mad estimated the
movement of the crop for the month of
March at $4,000 bales. but it has only
been $4,000. For the month of April
the bears of New York and Liver
pool promised movement Of about &c.,
600 bales. My estimate for. April was
100000 bales. and today it would seem
impr obable that this figure will be
reached.
"At all points the exhaustion of the
crop is complete, and Mr.. Theodore ii.
Price. of New York, has been the only
one to assert this against the coltradic-
tions and detractons of the entire trade.
Ever since December Mr.. Price basing
his deductions upon various and pains
taking inquiries, has maintained that we
We're face to face with an extremely
limited production, 4 real ''short crop"
That the final estimate of the crop is
about 10000, 900 bales, is matter of sec
ondary Importance. The aim was to put
the whole trade on guard against the
current estimates of II 100000 at least
estimates proceeding from so ''authori-
tative' a source that many spinners,
relying upon an immense production, in
stead of profting by the very moderate
prices at the beginning of the campaign
only bought from day to day, and at the
present moment find themselves with
out any reserve stock.
when 1 noted the unanmity of the
various attacks upon Mr.. Theodore
Price, whose documentary reports upon
the crop very evidently defeated the
projects of many large spectators
when the most absurd allegati ons, cal
urlnies and Gefamations We're being
daily showered upon him-I remember
ed the words of Goethe:
Elm Mann den allie Menschen hassen,
Der muss was sen."
CA man who is hated of all, you may
be assured is somebody
II have closely studied Mr.. Pierce's
circulars, and soon came to the conclus-
ion that his figures-athough they must
be taken, cum grano salis-Were in the
main correct. / have felt ii my duty
herewith to thank Mr.. Price for his va
rious communications. and to render
him my congratulations upon his great
capacity for work, upon his courage and
upon his perseverance!

TRACY, THE BANDIT.
Oregon Convict's Former Pal Tells
of His Comrades Plans.

Louis Ward, at one time an ac-
quaintance and accompllce of Harry
Tracy, recently appeared in Seattle,
Wash, with a remarkable story of his
having met the escaped convict from
Oregon few nights before, when
Tracy was lost all track of by the
pursuing parties. lie adds that Tracy
expressed to him a desire to get away
and lead a moral life.
Ward certainly would know Tracy's
course if anybody does, says the Phlla-
delphia Press. The two We're together
concerned in several daring holdups In
the vicinity OF Seattle, and for one of
these Ward was captured and did
time in the state penitentiary.
When Tracy came to Seattle to con
tinue there his remarkable and pic
turesque career of crime, fitting hither
and thither like Il will-o -the-wisp
through strong lines of heavily armed
guards, killing officers of the law, i'm
pressing innocent persons into his serv-
ice, holding up families and swapping
his fingers at all of the machinery of
the law, Ward was aroused by the
offer of a heavy reward to undertake
the capture. With this In mind he
went to Sheriff Cudihee and told that
officer that II he were given assurance
that the whole reward would be paid
him he would go into the woods In
which the convict was hiding, locate
him, converse with him, learn his
plans and then tell them all to the
officers and guide them TO the spot
where the much hunted man lay In
hiding.
Taken at his word by Sheriff Cudl-
hee, Ward has appeared with the story
that he found Tracy in a lonely cabin
they both knew of on the shore of
Sawyer lake, in King county, Wash.
He says that he learned the outlaws
plans, and he brings the following
statement, badly written on poor pa
per, which he says is 1racy's message

RUSH PICK TO poNcA LANDS.
Spectators Reaping Harvests in the
Ponca Reservation.

During the past two weeks there
has been a lively rush for land in
the Ponca, Otoe and Missouri In.
dian reservations. The rush, how
ever, has been confined mostly to
the lessees in those reservations,
the fact that the land was upon
the market for sale having for some
reason been kept a closely guarded
secret. The Indians having taken
their allotments, the allotments to
dead Indians car, under the act of
congress providing for the allot-
ments. be sold
The manner employed to secure
the allotments to dead Indians is
to purchase from their heirs, after
which the Indian agent makes the
deed. The average price paid for
this land thus far has been from
$40 to $l2 an acre. 1t is said that
Joe Miller of ranch "101" has
purchased twenty-one quarter sec
tions of this land, thus far, and
that other parties on the reserva-
ton are buying large quantities of
it. However, there are a number
of small allotments, such as forty
and eighty-acre tracts, that can
yet be bought, but nearly all the
100 allotments have been Robbled
up.
1t is only a question of few
weeks, however, until the Kaw In
dians take their allotments. when
the same opportunities will he pre-
sented in the Kaw reservation. In
the Kaw reservation the tracts will
run from 160 acres to 500 each,
and the allotments to dead Indians
can be sold by their heirs,
The next move will be to open
up these Indian reservations so
that the unallotted lands can be
taken by actual settlers, which of
course, will destroy the large
ranches now in the country.

Confederate Memorial Association Of
the Indian Territory.

the lndidn territory.
This association was formed for
the purpose of providing a home for
the INDECENT and infirm Confederate
soldiers and sailors whose lots have
been cast in the Indian Territory;
that they may find a haven of refuge
from the storms of life, and that the
mothers. wives and daughters of our
unfortunate comrades may have a
place in which their declining years
may be spent in comfort and safety.
Organization.
The Confederate Memorial associa-
ton is incorporated under the laws
of Arkansas, as a stock company,
with a capital stock of $4,000, with
shares at So par value, worcestershire,
with the privilege Of increasing the
stock If necessary.
The officers are: President, vice
president, secretary and treasurer,
and five directors, elected by the
stockholders. The corporation has
acquired by purchase thirty-one town
lots in the city of South McAlester,
Choctaw nation, Indian Territory.
One payment-one-fourth the pur-
chase price-has been made, with the
three remaining payments of s193.75
each to be made annually. The
property is beautifully located and
well adapted for a soldiers home, or
any other eleemosynary institution.
1t is in a solid block and is a beauti-
full park. The present value of the
property is $4,000.
The City Of South MeAlester.
The city of South McAlester, the 10.
cation Of this association, is in the
Choctaw nation, and nearly centrally
located from east to west and from
north to south of the Indian Terri
tory, and city of the first class, un-
der the Statutes of Arkansas. II is
twelve years old and comprises an
area Of about $500 acres, with live
population, and is the prospective
capital of the territory of jefferson.
Adjoining on the north is the in
corporated town of McAlester, the
county site of the county of Tobuck-
sy. These two cities are connected
by rail with the four corners of the
globe, and in the Pittsburg coal re-
gions of the great West, and as a
business proposition an investment in
the stocks of the association is an
attactiye investment, as its property
always will be Of first-class value
and can at any time be converted into
handsome money. The promoters of
the association are Confederates and
worthy shrewd and responsible bust
ness men and women.
Every ex-Confederate is asked to
give this prospectus his careful atten-
ion, and take as many shares as his
circumstances Will allow. IL is a
worthy cause, and the money will be
well spent.
