in the hands of an Insurance Commits
sioner, and it is with view of getting
the very best laws to use in Mississippi
that Mr.. Cole came to Raleigh, as he
finds that North Carolina leads in the
practical efficiency Of its insurance legis-
lation.
The visitor from Mississippi expressed
great surprise at the advancement and
progress of North Carolina, and said
that our cities here led those in Missis
sippi, where Vicksburg with 10000 peo-
pie was the largest city, He finds that
in Industrial development North Carolina
is vastly ahead of what is known out
side. He expected to find the large
places with factories, but was surprised
at the great showing made by the
smaller towns. He was delighted with
Governor Aycock and the other State
officers, speaking in the highest terms
of them.
Mississippi, he said, was going forward,
but needed department of agriculture,
such as North Carolina has, Great i'm
provement is expected in the section be-
tween Jackson and Gulf Port, as new
road, passing through virgin forest, is
being built. The great industry of this
section is found in it's forests from which
large lumber plants are supplied.
Mr.. Cole is practical man, and says
he is no politicin. He came from a rail
road authorship to his present position.
Speaking of affairs political, he said
everything was in good shape under
Governor Longino, and that the negroes
gave no trouble under the election laws
which prevailed.
After a pleasant visit here Mr.. Cole
left yesterday for Atlanta. He is most
pleasant gentleman and all who met him
were greatly impressed. Before leaving
he obtained a copy of the News and OBJ
servers recent industrial issue, and said
that he wished the resources of his
State could be as we'll advertised to the
world as those of North Carolina.

Merchants aDd other business men,
do you appreciate the importance OF
the tobacco trade to this town? II you
do, let us commence early to devise
means to induce tobacco growers 70
bring their product here. Manning
can be made fine market, if her busi-
mes men will only lend encouragement.
There can be devised a plan which
will cost very little and at the same
time, it will draw ninety per cent. OF
the tobacco growers in the county, and
a great deal from adjoining counties.
1t is a matter for our business people
to consider, and the sooner the better.
We refer to having tobacco ware
house where farmers can bring their
product and sell it without any charges
Whatever. 1t will be the best paying
project that has ever been started here,
and the results will be so satisfactory
that the scheme will pc continued.
Letus have free warehouse where the
farmer can get full value for his labor
without having to pay lot of charges.
A free tobacco warehouse will bring
thousands of dollars worth of trade
here that would go elsewhere There
should be an early meeting OF the
business men to consider this, or some
other project to bring to Manning the
trade that naturally should come here.

the issuing of warrants in the bali
wicks of other magistrates, and other
matters which will require the atten-
tion of the legislature. The meeting
was harmonious and all were disposed
to take care of the county's interests
without increasing the taxation. The
commissioners think that notwithstand-
ing the several outlays that have been
made for new bridges, road machines,
mules, and other necessary matters,
the money collected will pay off all OF
the Indebtedness, leaving the county
to begin the new year without debt.
The commissioners will prepare an ac-
curate statement of the income and
expenditures and send same to the
delegation by the time the legislature
convenes. We are satisfied that there
will be no increase in the levy. Clar-
endon now enjoys the distinction Of
having as low county levy Is any
county in the State, and we see no rea-
son why il should not continue so.

He Changed His Name to Berger.

DR.. a. Becker, Manning's electric
light magnate, who deserted his wife in
Sumter, and ran off with young
woman from Foreston leaving number
OF creditors to mourn. has turned up in
Greensboro. A gentleman in this
town, received letter of inquiry re:
garding Becker some days ago, and
nov we find that with the Foreston
woman he had to sail out of that city
under cloud. A special to the Char
lotte Observer from Greensboro says:
THAT as the result of an investigation
made by the Knights of Pythias OF that
town, to whom he made application for
membership, DR.. Al. G. Berger, who is
said to have several wives. one of whom
resides in Sumter, left that town under
a cloud today. Berger had good rec
concentrations from parties in Sum ter,
and later going to Greensboro became
a prominent church worker. He was
accompanied by a young woman who
passed as his wife. She is said to be
from Sumter"

The holidays are now over, the New
Year has come in. and the farmers are
beginning to take up the work that
goes toward making the crops which
we hope will be better this year than
last. Although many of the farmers
will have to begin work in debt, still
there is hope that they will come out
all right next fall. OF course this calls
for a lot of self sacrifice on the part of
the farmers, but we believe they will
give up cheerfully many little luxuries
that 60 toward making life happy.
Rev. Mr.. Hodge. the new Methodist
pastor, filed his first appointment here
last Sunday. He created quite a good
impression, and no doubt the people
will like him better after knowing
more of him.
Misses Sophie Higgins and Louise
Mcknight left last Thursday to spend
some time with Miss Grace Chapel,
near Columbia, before returning to
their studies at Edgefeld.
Misses Elma Geddings and Maggie

Very few changes have been made in

concern did adopt such a rule, but this
concern is not governed by it. AS we
understand it, the reason for making
this extra charge, is to prevent persons
from monopolizing the time with con-
versations to the annoyance OF those
who want to attend to business; there
is no doubt that lot of time is wasted

matter of fraudulent school chart

HURT BY CRITICISM.
President Roosevelt Explains His Rep.
rimand Of Gen. Miles.

Washington, Jan. /. - President
Roosevelt is chafing under the con
tinued onslaught OF criticism which
followed his public censure OF Gener.
al Miles. He feels that he has been
unjustly treated and has fretted under
the attacks Until he has become ex.
tremely nervous. To a Western Sena.
tor today the president confded his
feelings concerning the matter.
Mr Roosevelt said a number Of per.
sons were in the room when the gen.
eral made his appearance As soon as
he saw the commander OF the army
he went up TO him and asked him 10
step into the private room. but Gen.
eral Miles either did not hear the In.
yitation or tried 70 avoid II. At any
rate. the president and General Miles
began talking OF the interview which
had stirred up so much trouble.
President Roosevelt declares that he
repeated the invitation 70 the gener.
al, but that II was again ignored. Then.
as Mr. Roosevelt expressed It, Il let
him have 1t, regardless Of where he
was"
The president told his visitor that
lac did not intend to convey the i'm.
preston that General Miles desired TO |
make a scene, but that he believes |
that Miles was so full Of the subject
that he did not care where IL was
settled.
The criticisms which have so hurt
President Roosevelt have come in all
direction and in all shades of sever
Ity. Most OF them have admitted that
while General Miles probably was In.
discreet and that he should have been
,alled TO account, President Roosevelt
vas guilty OF greater indiscretion
when he administered a public repri-
naDd.
