Single Copy 5Cts. pa per i THE At The Capitol. Thursday. la tho Senate the House bill incorporating tlie South and Western Railroad Company caused considerable discussion as it was claimed that it was rather broad in its latitude. It passed ils final reading, Tho contest of Stamey vs. Stringfield was reported by committee and Stringfield held his seat by unan imous vote.

Mr. Alexander offered a bill to pension Confederate Soldiers. Mr, Hood offered an amend; ment to the code allowing tax collectors to carry pistols. A bill to raise the pay of peni tontiary guards from $15 to $20 per month with board, clothing, etc., caused considerable discus sion. It was shown that there is no trouble to get them at that and it was claimed that the money was needed worse in the educa tional line. Tho hour for taking up the divorce bill haying arrived the matter went over without a vote. The discussion of the divorce bill was very seriously and earn estly conducted. The bill was then adopted by the House with the Simmons substitute. This substitute, if ratified by the Sen ate, brings the law back to the two causes consistent with the Bible teaching, breach of mar riage v"vs and impotency. Tho Senate, bill to investigate tho management of the Blind Asylum was concurred in.

One of tho most remarkable cases in the history of horses occurred iu .Morgan township when two horses belonging to Mr. Dan'l, P Morgan fell in a shaft 16 feet with a heavy wagon ou them and escaped injury. Tho horses ran away and ran directly into a shaft where Mr. Morgan has been prospecting for gold. They - fell the full depth of the shaft 10 feet, the wagon falling after them. When Mr. Morgan pulled the wagon out he had no hope of finding the horses alive but. much to his sur pris'1 discovered that neither of the t vo was hurt.

Fred Olds gets this off in his Raleigh correspondence of the Charlotte Observer: "There are some gallant men in tho Legislature. A preacher who came here today said to me I witnessed a most amusing scene last Saturday at Greens- ooro. We were in the second class car. A Senator who was going home was hailed by a very pretty and evidently very last young women, who cried out to him, "(Jome here, grandpa, and talk to me." He talked to her. When she reached Greensboro she said, "Here's where I get off. I am a niece of Senator Hill, of New York. Won't you kiss me goodbye, grandpa?" The Sen ator was game. He gave her the kiss and a good hug with it, while the whole car full of peo pie cheered him. The Senator, who doeseu't live a tnousana miles from Greensboro, evidently knows a good thiug when he sees it." Who wouldn't know a good thing like this when he met it V Had a Guilford man orany other man let it slip he ought to be ex communicated. He coulden't be ectod township constable or keeper of the dog pound had he declined, nut wno is ner win i -n . t t O TXT I 1 Col.

Tho Military Academy bill passed the United States Senate Wednesday with the following amendment os to hazing : 'That the superintendent of the Military Academy shall make such rules, to be approved by the Secretary of War, as will ef fectually prevent the practice of hazing, and any cadet found guilty of participating in or en couraging or countenancing such practice shall be summarily ex pelled from the Academy and shall not thereafter be reap pointed to the corps of cadets or bo eligible for appointment as a commissioned officer iu the army or navy." The bill as amended then was passed, If we are to believe the critips or those who read Mr. Bryan's piper, the Commoner clearly demonstrates that delivering po litical speeches and writing hot stuff for . a newspaper, are en tirely different vocations, and to be successful iu one does not nec essarily mean that you cau sot the world on fire in tho other.

DecMed dissatisfaction has arizen since the Louisville meet ing of the Confederate Veterans that some Memphis Politicians for political effect have succeeded in getting the city to invite Pres ident McKinley as the city's guosi on that occasion, and unless the place or time is changed so as to repell the effort to use the veter ans' meeting for political pur poses there will hardly be a full meeting. A Savannah dispatch of the 6th says: "The Confederate Veterans' Association of Savannah last night passed resolutions against the invitation to 1'resident ftic Kinley to attend the reunion of Confederate Veterans in Mem phis. The resolutions recite that the association entertains profound respect for President McKinley and hisexalted station, but, "believing his presence on this occasion, as tho guest of tho city of Memphis, is sought by a few of the citizens of Memphis to further their political asinra tions and is therefore derogatory to our idea of the proper respect due to the President of this groat nation and contrary to tho spirit of the United Confederate Vet erans, partisan politics and all that tends to it being strictly forbidden in all meetings and re unions of the United Confederate Veterans organization," the asso ciation calls upon General Gor don, commander-in-chief to name some other city than Memphis as the place for the re-union and says it will not send delogates to Memphis unless the invitation is adhered to.

A young Western attorney was recently asked why he had so strenuously defended a woman who could pot pay m.

More than once in wintor her Kind heart prompted Ijer to rise very early to have a cup of coffee ready fop her newsboy, fearing that ho might perish with tho cold," Such acts defy commercial "re payment" as much as mother love or sister influence How does the old Persian poet put it ?

The safe in the store of Messrs Holshouser & Corriher, which contained their assets as well as the money and stamps of the post office, was blown open and demolished and the contents were taken. About $525 of money and all tho stamps, tho value of which is not ascertained yet, was the booty obtained. The miscreants obtained tools from a near-by blacksmith shop and from the section house. Tho implements were left scattered around. Strange to say no one was alarmed by the explosion, which did cousiderable damage to the store besido wrecking the safe. When Mr. Deaton came to the office early in the morning the situation was first discovered. An offort was made to get bloodhounds for the trail. There seems no clue to the robbers. Tho losses were chiefly the as sets of the post office. (JUEEN WILULMe"a MARRIES. Chooser a German Duke Crowned at IS -Married at 20.

A fearful wreck occurred near Greenville, CPa., on Thurs day the 7th, First dispatches said fifteen wore killed including the engineer and fireman. The full press dispatches Friday did not confirm the first news. The Philadelphia Tunes of the 8th says five were killed, four are missing and many are injured. The train was running at good speed where there is a high cliff on one side and a precipice on the other to the Shenango river. The train from somo unknown cause left the track and thumped against the cliff and the stronger cars telescoped the weaker ones. The great wonder is that any body came out of the smoker alive as the steel mail car crashed right through it. The scene was heartrending. Cries and cu:ses mingled with pleadings for help or to be killed outright. The engineer and fireman both jumped and were saved except from bruises. Saw Mill Near the While Houso. A saw mill has been set in up in Executive ayenue, the street that runs from Pennsylvania av enue to tho White Lot, between the Executive Mansion and the State, War and Navy building, and when the President this morning, henring the puffing and buzzing, asked a caller what it was for, he was told that it was tho beginning of the work of erecting grandstands from one end of Pennsylvania avenue to the other to. accommodate that vast crowds that are coming to Washington on March 4 to see him inaugurated for the second time. There will be other saw mills at other points along the avenue, and from now on Wash ington will begin to assume the appearance of a vast lumber camp. This year there will be more uniformity and system in the erection of all the stands, and that part of Pennsylvania avenue in front of the White House will be converted into a course of honor, gay with arches and bunting by day and electric lights at night, like the one that was constructed for the Dewey celebration, which was so widely admired and praised. Washing ton Dispatch 6th, At the Capitol.. A bill was passed in the Senate Friday to empower County Com missioners to abolish, or re-cre ate the office of County treas urer. Some eastern counties are accepted however in its provis ions.

The usual routine of local mat ters received attention.

Poor China! Two provinces, involving 21 millions of souls, are suffering the pangs of fam iue in its acute form. These two provinces, Shansi and Shensi the latter the temporary refuge of the imperial court have been swept clear of food, owing to failure of crops during three consecutive years. "Twenty-one millions of people, of peaceful habits and primitive resources, are menaced by a scourgo more dreadful than war or pestilence. The margin of subsistence, al ways slender in an overcrowded agricultural community, has been long since obliterated, and star vation stares tho people in the face," so the reports inform us. Is there no appeal in this to the .Christian Powers now in violent possession of that country? Lord God of Hosts, bo with us yet, Lest we forget lest wo forget". Morning Post. Bud Bold Robbery. A Durham special of the 8th co ine unariotte Ubserver says "One of tho boldest highway robberies ever committed in the county took place about two and one-half miles from Durham this morning between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock. Two unknown negroes held up and robbed Mr, H L Waller, a well-to-do farmer oi uranviue county, or more than $250. Mr. Waller wasdriv ing along when two negro men stepped from the side of the road. One stopped the horse and the other went to the side of ll. 1 t II . . me ougey and seid: "Uive us your money or your life." Mr. Waller replied that he had no money; when the man replied that he was a liar and cut at him. A long cut was made in his coat and overcoat and but for the pro tection afforded by a small ac count book which he had on the inside of his coat pocket and in which was $250 in bills, he would have been killed, as the blow was evidently inteuded for his heart At the same time the other ne gro ran around to the other side of the buggy and pressed a pistol to his head. Mr. Waller was quickly jerked from his buggy and it was at this stage of the fight when he told them to take his money but save his life. In a very short while the money was in the possession of the negroes and they stepped into the woods and were gone. The victim came on to Durham and the matter was immediately reported to the officers. Sheriff Markham and a posse have been alter tho prisoners all the afternoon but at this tirrto tho.y have not been captured. Blinking Steam l'ipe Kills FiTC.

Congress long ago pledged this government to withdraw from Cuba when it had estab li.ihe.l a government of its own. A constitutional convention is tiow in session preparing a frame of government. That conven tion derives its powers solely from the Cuban people, and its powers are limited entirely to tho framing of a constitution under which the Cuban people will bo governed. With that constitution tho people of this country have no busiuoss or concern. In every essential re spect our attitude toward Cuba should be that of helpful, friend ly co operation, but with tho ex plicit understanding that it is to constitute a sovereign govern ment over which wo exercise no domination whatever.
