hot very little- in their minds
whom they wish to represent them
in the next Legislature. The name
of Hon. J. B. Coffield is paramount.
We are glnd to see our people
beginning to take an interest in
good roods in our county. We ap
prove of the step taken recently by
the people of Griffins' Township
that the same may result in good.
To the good and consolation, how
ever, off those mostly interested.
We'll state that Mr. S. F. Everett,
of this place, suggests that a road
fund be raised for fhe construction
of a hard road throughout what
ever port of the county that it is
most Deeded, and says further that
he will contribute $250.00 to start
the fund; to be placed in the hands
of a construction committee. This,
are think, is very benelovent in Mr.
Emctt, and we hope that many
others will at once see the good of
this movement. and will contribute
largely of their means and influence
to, perhaps, the most worthy and
progressive step of to-day.

Items of Interest Gathered from Over the
State by our Raleigh Correspondent
His Excellency, Governor Ay
cock, will leave in about two weeks
for his tour of the State of Maine
where he will make a number ot
speeches.
After spending about two weeks
in Maine he will go to New Hamp
shire for a few days, the guest of a
gentleman whom he had met while
the latter was on a visit to North
Carolina. He looks forward to his
outing in New lyiglanri with great
pleasure. There is no doubt that
his oiatory will at once delight and
profit the people of Maine. He will
talk about education, which, above
all others, is the theme he lovea.
The new physical director and ath
letic coach, Dr. Willis S. Kienholz,
of Ualesburg 111 , has arrived at the
A. and M. College, and is going to
make an early start in physical cul
ture and athletic training with the
cadets.
Dr Kienholz comes with high
testimonials, not only as to his
proficiency in gymnastic and ath
letic work, but also as to his fine
gentlemanly qualities and scholar
ship. He is an acoiaplished biologist
both in botany and zoology, also a
very proficient German icholar.
Or. Kienholz is married. His fam
ily will come with him and reside
at the college in West Raleigh.
State Auditor Dixon tells me that
the county examining boards of all
the counties except six (Wake, Chat
am, Durham, Granville Burke and
Buncombe) have sent in their new
lists to the Slate board, ol which he
is chairman, and that the work ot
passing upon and making up the
•iew list of Confederate pensioners
will begin at once.
Dr. Dixon added that he expected
there would be a falling off in the
number of pensioners, but to hi>
great surprise he finds that theie
are hundreds of new applications,
fie made a guess to-day that there
were perhaps 1,000 new applica
nuns. "I am very much surpriad at
this and regret it, too. 1 was exceed
ingly anxious to increase the pen
sion allowances this year and we
may squeeze through with the same
•mounts as were provided last year.
Ilie hoards of pensions in the coun
ties evidently put on a number ol
•nen who ought not to be put on
the lists, but the old soldiers hang
around and entreat the boards to
grant their claim, and the tender
ncarted old soldiers who compose
the board give away to this sort ol
appeal. 1 am sure that a lot of the
pensioners ought not to be on the
rolls.''
The friends of State Auditor Dn
on are greatly pleased to mark the
manifest improvement in his health
duriug the last week. The doctor it
again looking his old self again
handsome, genial and happy—and
he is rapidly being restored to bis
accustomed robust health, and it

to note the fact.

there were only 17 agricultrial stu

The United States Department oi
Agriculture is investigating the
Scuppernong grape with a view to
determining the best varities, meth
ods of culture, pruuing, training,
etc., as well as the uses to which
can be put. One ot k the
features of this investigation which
is considered of particular import
ance is the locating of vines of this
type, either wild or iu cultivation,
that are known to excel in product
iveness, size, color or quality ol
fruit, or some other important par
ticular.
In this connection, the Viticul
lurist of the Bureau of Plant In
dustry. who has the work in charge,
will ce glad to receive reports on
such vines from persons who know
of their existance, stating the frets
regarding them and the points of
special merit that have been ol (serv

Correspondence regarding such
vines should be addressed to Geo.
C. Husmann, Viticulturist, Bureau

The Department will, upon ap
