FOR MORE RURAL LIBRARIES.
Generous Efforts in Orange That are Crowned
With Success.

Especial to the News and Observer.)
Hillsboro, n. c., Nov. 25-The county
superintendent of Orange is making a
determined effort to put in several more
rural Libraries, and has sent out several
letters asking men of wealth of the
county to take the place of the State by
giving ten dollars. In response to this
appeal, Maj. Geo. P. Collins sent a
check for ten dollars for a library for
the Hillsboro school. The board of edu-
cation offered ten dollars and when the
offer was made to the school children
instead of raising the ten dollars asked
for, they raised over $50 in one day
They have secured over fifty dollars
worth of books for their school and
it was made possible by the generosity
of Maj. Collins. If other men of wealth
of our county would respond in like
manner a rural library could be placed
within reach of every child in the
county
The contract for building the new pub
lie school house in Hillsboro has been
awarded to James Nichols for S769 .95

Our Negotiations With Co.
Iombia Halt Dead.
THE CABINET CONVENES
The Members Discuss the Proposed Canal and
Cuban Reciprocity Representatives
of Nicaragua Make no Effort TO
Negotiate With Us.
Negotiate With Us.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. 25.-The Cabinet
meeting today was devoted almost ex-
clusively to the consideration of the
status of reciprocity with Cuba and the
canal treaty with Colombia. The bitches
that have occurred in the negotiations
were discussed as were also the pros
poets of settlement.
Secretary Hay, while presenting the
subject of the canal negotiations to the
Cabinet, was not able to report that any
progress had been made during the past
week In fact, it appears that the nego-
tiations have come to Il dead stop, and
while no such thing as an ultimatum
has passed, the precise situations may
be described in the statement that the
Colombian minister here, Concha, has
distinctly informed the State Depart
ment that he cannot, in behalf of his
government, accept the last proposition
of the United States as the basis of a
canal treaty. The State Department al
ready has let it be known that it has
come to the end of its concessions, so
the chances of renewal of the nego-
tiations in the near future are not very
bright.
This state of affairs will stimulate the
negotiations with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica for the alternate route, but it now
appears that the diplomatic representa-
tives of these countries are not disposed
to allow themselves to be used to coerce
Colombia and they are, therefore de-
sirous Of remaining in the background
until it shall be clearly established that
no treaty can be made between Colon
bia and the United States
One Of the statements of facts i'll con-
nection with the Panama route, which
has been brought to the attention of the
State Department is that the original
canal concessions will expire in 1904, and
it has been suggested that the Colom-
bian government has that fact i'll mind
and is disposed to refrain from making
a treaty now in the expectation that the
franchise will lapse and it may thus be
in a position to build the canal itself
or sell new concession. Such a course
would raise very serious question be-
tween the Colombian government, Il
Panama Canal Company, the French
government, and the government of the
United States as to whether or not
supplementary decree extending the con-
cession ten years from 1904 was valid.
President Roosevelt laid before the
Cabinet his annual message to Congress
in complete form. 1t was sent to the
printer today.

The hearings before the Anthracite
Coal Strike Commission present the first
opportunity that the coal operators ever
have had Of presenting their case before
the general public who are really an i'm
portant third party, since abstracts at
least of these proceedings are published
all over the United States, and it is a
duty that we owe to ourselves as well
as to them to prove that the continued
and repeated charges of injustice, bar
barity and extortion are absolutely un-
found cd; all of which the individual oper-
arors at least, propose to do.
The case as presented already shows
such weakness that we believe they were
almost disheartened when these sugges-
tions for a compromise was made We
believe that any surrender on our part
which would be practically what this
compromise would amount to. would be
by far the most serious mistake ever
made in the anthracite coal business.

TO PLAY VIRGINIA
The North Carolina Boys viii
Leave for Richmond
To-day.
Especial to News and Observer

tSpCCldl W 4NtNS anu OpSSlN NCI-J
Chapel HILL N. c., Nov. 25.-The Uni
versity football team will leave tomor-
row morning for Richmond, Va, where
on Thursday afternoon it will struggle
upon the gridion for supremacy with the
stalwart warriors from the University
of Virginia in the Southern champion
ship game. The following boys will com
pose the University football squad:
Foust Stewart, Farlow, Jones, Donnelly,
Albright, Cox, Condor, Fisher, Holt,
Engel, Mann. Newton, Jones, H.; Berk
ley, Endicott, Jacocks, Carr and Graves
The outcome of the game, according to
the college Topics" a weekly paper
published by the University of Virginia,
is indeed foregone conclusion. 1t
states in substance that the question to
consider is not whether Virginia will
defeat Carolina, but how much. The
Tar Heels do not entertain hope OF
victory so strongly as their Virginia
friends, but will enter the game with
such dogged determination as will
cause a victory to be deservedly won.
A comparison of scores will enable one
to judge of the relative strength of the
respective teams. Virginia ousted V. P.
|. by a core of to 0 and Davidson sue
cumbed to the orange and black by a
score of 35 to 0, while Carolina played
V. p. l. to a standstill, neither side
scoring, and defeated Davidson by a
score Of 81 to 0, playing only seven min
utes in the second half This shows
that both teams are evenly matched, and
hard and desperate struggle is con-
fidently expected by all.

H & B. BEERS COTTON LETTER.
Especial to News and Observer

(Special to News and Observer
New Orleans, La, Nov. 25.-Liverpool
was influenced .unfavorably by the de-
cline in London silver and the poor spot
demand. Our market in sympathy open
ed from 8 to 10 points lower, but subse-
ouently improved Z to points on the
continuance of scattered rains in north
ern Texas and the expectation of freez-
ing weather over night The issuance
of an IL 900, 900 crop estimate by Messrs.
Latham. Alexander G. Co., of New York,
about this time was construed bearishly,
causing a break of 19 to IA points from
the top. Fresh buying near the close
occasioned steadiness, making the net
loss of II to 13 points on the day. Heavy
rains have fallen over the central por-
tion of the cotton belt during the past
twenty four hours. 1t is predicted that
generally fair weather will prevail
throughout the entire district tonight
and Wednesday the temperature will fall
over the southeastern portion. Other
wise changes will be slight. Frost is
indicated for Oklahoma northern Ar
kansas and the extreme northern por-
tion of north Texas.
Messrs. Latham, Alexander & Co.'S
crop estimate of 11.000,0 900 had such
marked effect on the market, because
they have always under estimated the
actual out turn. In 1900 their estimate
was $4,000 and the actual crop was
1,4Q0, 900. In 1900 they estimated the
crop at 9,767, 900 and the crop was 10,
400,0 ,000. Last year their estimate was
9,733,O00 and the crop was 10,700,000.
From the above it will be seen that
their figures came from 100000, 10 1,000,-
900 under, consequently with such data
the anticipation of a small estimate
from the bureau has been offset to a
considerable extent. The prospect of
clearing and colder weather in Texas
and the easier feeling together with the
restricted demand for spots were also
instrumental in assisting the decline.
No disposition is shown to sell cotton
pending the bureau, and sentiment con-
tinues very bullish. H. G. B. BEER.
