This morning: there was another large shipment of revenue stamps re celved at this office. There were some thing: like fifty pouches put off the east bound train at this place. Every day or two there is a shipment received here. This will not be the case when we get the federal building:, as, the government will ship enough stamps 'for a month's supply at a time, as soon as the vault room can be furnished for them. Durham Sun. The movement of truck from the .'local station continues heavy, the shipment of the A. & N. C, by freight, amounting today to about 1,750 pack ages, besides 300 by express. Potatoes are the main shipments, though quite a number of baskets of beans were Included in the shipment. Cabbage are about marketed, only a very few for local trade being forwarded now.The shipment today required about" ten cars to handle them, from this sta tion. Kinston Free Press. Mrs. Baker, the Cecil Rhodes heir ess. who -was discovered at Asheville -engaged in missionary work, has given evidence that her heart is in hr cause. At the time she was "discovered" and tiotified that she was entitled to a por tion of Cecil Rhodes' estate, she was engaged in raising funds for a mission school at Waycross, Ga. She promptly announced her decision to devote her share of the Rhodes estate to the cause of missions and- industrial schools. Mrs. Baker is the sort of woman the country delights in honor ing. Charlotte Chronicle. The New York Age, the negro paper edited by T. Thomas Fortune, is jump ing on John C. Dancy, the colored recorder of the District of Columbia. Jfor the reason that he did not control the republican convention in the sixth district and bring about the election of two negro delegates to the repub lican national convention. This report er was present at the convention above spoken of. which was held in this eitv. and we are quite sure there was not a negro present, so how could Dancy control it? Fayetteville Observer. J. IL Lewey, living four miles north east of the city, was in town this morning looking for a stolen horse. He arrived at home at 11 o'clock last night and put the animal in the stable. !A.t one this morning his dog woke him ip by Incessant barking, and when he went out he discovered his horse was gone.

The last chapter in an interesting case, that of the Travelers' Insurance company vs. the board of commission ers of Henderson county, wa written by Judge Boyd, In the United States district court, in chambers yesterday.

Wonder who put him up to it? Awful nice compliment to Judge Parker, anyhow. Gastonla Gazette. As Judge Parker N persists in doing very little talking, the Inference is that he is doing a great deal of thinking. The spectacle of a political candidate who' prefers to think instead of to talk Is such a rarity that Judge Parker's silence seems to be receiving much notice. Winston Sentinel. Postmaster Smith's recommendation of a colored man for clerk in the Char lotte postoffice in the face of the alleged fact that there was a white man on the eligible list, is -calculated to nega tive the protestation of the republican leaders that the colored man is no longer a factor In their party. Char lotte Observer. - It is stated that Dr. Parkhurst ha3 said that he "is good enough a repub lican to want that party whipped thl3 fall for its own advantage."

Durham Sun. - The laxity of divorce laws in North Carolina Is receiving some emphatic attention.

In some exchanges the statement is seen that Mr. Roosevelt has decided to be president of this country till the year 1912.. He says that the present term which he is serving was not his, but President McKlnley's and will not count as a third term. He should deem himself fortunate if he holds over four more years. The Robesonian, The appeal to the president made by the Federation of Labor m Colorado has evidently fallen upon unheeding ears. Knowing the political phase of the situation this is what might have been expected, yet of all the men in public life who profess special inter est in the welfare of American labor, particularly as organized in unions, Mr. Roosevelt has perhaps "been sec ond only to Mr. William R. Hearst In the frequency and energy of his protestations. fWinston Journal. One of the important questions to be discussed by the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias which is in progress at Winston is the establishment of an orphans' home. All the orders have one except the Pythians and it is a splen did charity. 'While the Pythians are discussing the matter and have not yet secured a location why cannot citizens of New Bern make overtures to the Grand Lodge gst the orphanage located here? :Xew Bern Journal Captain Glenn's supporters in Wake county are wondering at the appor tionment of votes there. In the pri maries held last week the vote stood as follows: Stedman, .84: Glenn, 521. It seems, however, that Stedman Is to receive twenty-six votes in the state convention, -hile Glenn Will only get twelve. In the light of these facts. friends of the Wins ton-Si em candidate are askinir the Question. "TjT this a fair expression of the people's will? Reids- ville Review. These are the days of tie' farmer. The manufacturer and the merchant are not in It with the farmer for pros perity. Eggs twenty cents a dozen; spring chickens twenty-five to- thirty cents each and scarce at the price; onions ata-premium; butter ami milk high priced and scarce.

It would appear that Mr. Hopkins has the best of that Illinois bargain. The support of the state will not se cure the nomination of Mr. Hearst at St. Louis, and after the convention will come the importance of the control of the state committee. That is now in Mr. Hopkins' hands, and he may be expected to capitalize it to advantage. It was a starnge combination, brought about by the Infinite possibilities of strenuous politics. Hearst and Harri son have a good deal in common on questions of public policies: Hearst and Hopkins comparatively little. The ngnt may be renewed at a late day, and then we may witness a combina tion between Hearst and Harrison for downing . Hopkins. The platform adopted yesterday Is a sort of half horse, half-alligator affair, ' and the ticket nominated so far as the country at large is concerned, needs to be in troduced. Washington Star. Adjutant-General Bell, of Colorado is entitled to some credit for" frank ness. His talk is that of an anarchist, but at least he disdains hypocrisy. Probably heaven has not blessed him with very much brains or with the power to understand the meaning and purpose of governments, but he does not make us sick with babbling aoolo- I gies and mushy lies. He says the wesrerii r cuerauon oi aimers snail be crushed, tfie leaders banished on pain of deatth and remaining citizens forbidden to be members of it, and sums up the whole case thus: "If therejs no other law, there is at least a fundamental one that gives the peo ple the power to hang one man, send another to the penitentiary, fine a lesser cuiprit, ana tne unwritten power to impose the lighter sentence" of en forced departure to other fields on those who have transgressed no writ ten law, yet are disturbing elements in the general peace."

Then Miss Crevellgn called to one of the boys and asked for his knife. With It she cut the snaka in two below her hand, and flung the squirming thing from her.
