Under the above heading The Lum-
berton Argus publishes the following
experience of a confederate soldier in
Raleigh, the two events occurring forty
two years apart:
An old soldier in this town says he
was in Raleigh one Sunday during the
civil "a in 1862, and went to the Bap-
tist church to cal DR.. Skinner preach.
He took for his text a portion of that
beautiful song of Deborah and Barak
after their wonderful victory over ia
bins vast army of Caanites under Sis
era: They fought from heaven; the
stars in their courses fought against
Sisera."-Judges 500. A short time ago
after an interval Of forty-two years
this same old soldier was in Raleigh
again on Sunday and went to the Pres
byterian church to hear DR.. Moment
1t was a surprise-both pleasing and
intereSting-to hear the minister an
nounce the very same text. While the
two ermon were very different in il.
lustration, both were grand, the leading
line Of thought was that Everything
is against the man who is against Cod
1t is remarkable thai this old soldier
should have heard two sermons from
his text, preached by ministers of diff.
ferent denominations. under such great
ly dissimilar circumstances and with
such contrast in the application of the
words of the text. That old soldier has
a an experience that, we venture to
say. none of his comrades have ever
enjoyed.

The Youths Companion points out
hat there will be two circumstances
connected with President Roosevelt's
Inauguration which nav lever before
occurred on like occasions. One is that
it will be the first time a man
filling the office of president has had
his first Inauguration. In other words,
no other vice president succeeding to
the presidency has succeeded himself.
The other is that never before has it
happened twice in succession that there
was no retiring president to take part
in the Inauguration of the president
elect. This is due to the fact hat no
man has ever held the office for a on
ger period than two terms. We look
to see some more records broken by
Mr.. Roosevelt before the expiration
of his next term.

4 BOLD ATTEMPT TO HOLD UP
. Young Man Had an Unpleasant
Experience With n Negro.

Sunday night about half past s O'Clock
CIR. Will Abbott was going towards his
home on Dunn's avenue. wslking his
bicycle. and was al the corner Ct Grit
fifth and Crescent streets. when he vas
approached by a negro who came from
the vicinity Of the Pr Lumber Com
pany's plant
When the negro got Nd to WIN HI
asked him il he had q watch. and Alb
bott answered him no. Then the negro
asked him IL he had 2 watch. and Alb
he was told that il was none of his bust
ness and was her met with the per-
emptory proposition that the negro was
going TO have his money anyway.
The fellow made a start TO grab Abb
bott but by a dexterous move VIII push
ed his wheel toward him and he (the
negro) stumbled over the front wheel
and he fell TO the ground. Abbott gave
him a hard kick and left him lying on
the ground Is he mounted his wheel
and rode ii the rest of the way home.
1t is reported that the negroes. Portu-
guese and Italians of that neighborhood
are decidedly disagreeable in their hao-
it's and are OF a desperate character.
Many acts Of lawlessness not only in
that vicinity but in different places all
over the city are attributed to his par
ticular gang. They are inviting nothing
but trouble for themselves by making
use Of these tactics.-New Bern Jour

into n burglarized. 1t was discovered
by Mr.. Bentin, who notified Mr.. Mon

every indication. however. that the
work had been done by professionals.
The cash register had been opened by
the combination, and was in no wise
injured, about ten dollars in small
change having been taken. Besides this
the thieves secured a quantity OF to-
bacco, cheese, nuts and a quantity of
cutlery-knives, forks an spoons. The
officers are working on the case today.

Thousands of Dollars Spent Prepar-
ing for Christmas.
New York, Dec. 1.-THE depart
ment stores have surpassed themselves
this year in their preparation for the
Christmas season. There Is hardly
one of the first-class places Which has
not spent thousands of dollars on the
mechanical novelties and other leading
features of its window displays. And
they are justified in the expenditure.
for the shopping crowds are larger
than ever before, and you hear in
every store that they are spending
more money. Toys that cost any
where from $50 to $500 are to be seen
in all the best stores, and their ready
sale proves that New Yorks craze for
luxury is being carried into the nur-
sery. The Japanese Prince, Sadanura
Fushimi, visited one of the stores on
Thursday and bought, among many
other toys, a completely-equipped rail-
road, with several tracks, switches,
signals, Pullman cars, and all. 1t is
said to have cost him hundreds of
dollars.
Employees dressed in the traditional
costume of Santa Claus have long
been seen in the toy departments of
the stores, but an establishment in the
shopping district of Eighth avenue has
gone one better this year. It's Santa
Claus asks the children who visit the
department what they would like him

Capt. Mills was Jumped over the

been done ever since Gen. George

Gen. Mills fully deserved his promo
ton and confirmation. He was severe
ly wounded at Santiago and won a
medal of honor for his heroic con-
duct. He went to West Point as a
lieutenant of cavalry, the only Off
Ger of that rank ever made superin-
tendent of the Military Academy His
career there was never surpassed by
any predecessor and to-day he is at
the head of the largest and best mill
tary school in the world. With it's
big Increase of cadets and magnificent
new buildings, the superintendent
should be brigadier general, and Gen.
Mills has fully proven that he is the
right man in the right place.

] do not understand fully the Dick
military law, but under it 1 doubt if
Gen. Miles can be the Adjutant Cen
eral of Massachusetts. That is a state
office and cannot be filled by a non
resident. Gen. Miles could be detail
ed as military adviser or assistant
to the adjutant general, yet l fear
that his high rank and higher pay are
an obstacle. Retired brigadier gem
erals are now detailed to such serv-
ice, but not major generals and lieu
tenant generals. Politics and Presi-
dent RooseVelt's personal feelings will
not enter into the question of this
proposed detail, I think, but rather
the more serious one of expense.
which does not fall upon the state of
Massachusetts, but upon the general
government at Washington. Gen.
Miles is a native of Massachusetts,
and can, if he likes, as a retired Of
nicer, assist Gov. Douglass by his ad-
vice in military matters without an
official detail. My humble view of
the matter is that the Governor is
making a mistake in not selecting a
thoroughly educated officer, a West
POINTER If possible, to improve the
military of Massachusetts. There is
danger that he may overdo the thing
and discover that it is best for the
shoemaker to stick to his last. Gen.
Miles is as egotistical as was old Gen.
Scott, and is not a safe official to
be given unlimited authority in mill
tary matters.
