Feb. 19, 1902 Raleigh at Last to Have an Auditor iumGeneral Toon'sWork and Fun eralNew Superintendent of Educa tion Various Matters of Interest. Correspondence of The News-Herald. Raleigh, X., 0 , February 24. llaleigh has at last perfected ar rangements whereby a combined auditorium theatre will be pro vided, amply sufficient to accom modate any crowd that is likely to gather on any one occasion in Ral eigh lor many yeais to come and especially with the view of furnish ing a hall large enough to com fortably care for the great political and other State conventions. The auditirium company, formed several moot lis ago, have bought the Academy of Music building (in which these conventions haTe been held of late years) and will purchase additional adjoining pro perty with about 40 feet front and ruuniiig the length of the present building, and will make the recon structed hall as wide again as at present, put in another gallery and enlarge the stage fifty per cent, providing additional entrances and exits. This will give us an auditor iuuj that will hold 3,500 land more oeople, and at the same time pro vide a hrst-class tnaetre witn a stage of sufficient dimensions to occommodate the largest attrac tious and scenery that comethis way. ISo other hall in'Norlb C.ro liaa can seat over 1,500 at piesent, 1 beliere, and therefore the con ventious will continue to be held here at the ''centre," the natural and most available location. The funeral of General Toon, Superiutent of Public instruction, last Friday was largely attended by the State officials, local military companies, representatives of Masonic and other orders, despite the particularly bad weather. While General Toou had been dan gerously ill for two or three months, he had improved so rapidly of late that his complete recovery was ex pected, and he had stated his in temiou to go to his office this week. When he suddentlv expired last Wednesday (from heart failure) tbe sad event was as surprising as deplorable. He had exceeded the expectations of his best friends in the succesful preformauce of his new duties and had he lived to complete the unexpired term of three years yet remaining his-re cord would have beeu an especial ly tine one. The interment was in Oakwood Cemetery, this city. His death leaves oulyitwo surviving ex Brigadier Generals of the Con federacy in North Carolina, Gen eral Wm. R. Gox aud General W. P. Roberts all of tnem "in their twenties7 when commissioned as such, General Toou being twenty fonr vears of age, only. The number of' aspirants and candidatesMbr tbe office of Saperin tendent ot Public Instruction is unprecedented, while many other are "in the hands of their friends." Enumerated in both classes the following names bave been pre seuted: Jiix liovernor jarvis. ex Congressman Grady, Ex Saperin tendent Mebaue, J. Allen Holt, Oak Ridge: M. S. C. Noble, State University; J. C. Scarborough, another ex Superintendent; W. S. Long o Alamance; J. Y. Joyner, Stale Normal and Iudastrial Uol lege; J. B. Carlyle,' Wake Forest College; O-L.

Qnackenbash, ot Scotland; P. R. Law, of Robesou; John Dnckett, Chief Clerk in office of Superinten dent'; J. T. Alderman, Henderson; Ernest P. Mangnra, ot Wilson; John Blair, Wilmington. No one has appreciated the necessity of a first ciass man for this particular office at this time more than Governor Aycock, the leader of the "campaign of educa- students of the cwlegeubacrjb-4 ing 2,000 ust week, and that the corner-stone will be laid dorinff the commencement exercises in May. There will be no celebration at Roanoke Island the coming sum mer, as it has been found impran- tion'' now being uudertakeu, and who names the man. Among the other valuabl im provements (heretofore noted in these letters), it is now learned that $10,000 have now been raised toward the erection of the new "Student's Building'' at the Stat Normal and Industrial College, the ticalblo to secure an appropriation from Congress during the session now drawing to a close. After conferring with Senator Simmons and Pntchard and tbe North Car olina Congressmen the promoters of the plan have decided to post pone it at least one year. The order of Red Men in this State will probably build an Or phanage, the plan originating with Occoneechee Tribe of Raleigh. Miss Helen Gould, and party of New York friends, now visiting the South, will accept Dr. Mclver's invitation to include the Greens boro State Normal and Industrial College in their itinerary, and ill visit that institution in a iew days. The proposed visit of Governor Aycock and staff to Southern Pines was called off on account of the funeral of General Toon. The names of candidates for the official shoes of the dead man were being exploited in the daily news papers before Superintendent of Instruction Toon's funeral could be held and the interment of the body looked after such is tbe greed of public office (with a sal ary attached)! The Jr. O. U. A. Mechanics which met in Wilmington last week decided to hold their meet ing next year at High Poiut. The prospects are for a largely increased acreage of tobacco iu this State this year. Mr. aud Mrs. Benjamin N. Duke celebrated their "silver wedding" at Durham last Eriday evening and tendered a brilliant reception to their lriends.

The order received here Satur day, and taking effect at. once, in creasing fire insurance rates 25 per cent., effective over the entire ter ritory east of Rocky Mountains, was an unwelcome ope to property owners, merchants, manufacturers etc. But they must pay it or go without insurance.

But it was not their fault in either case and a brave young man and woman were murderously assault ed. Advices from Washington state that Seuator Pritchard's efforts to secure pensions for the Western North Carolina soldiers who, after first serving as Confederates, later enlisted in the Union Army, will ultimately be successful. The Senator's "pull" at Washington seems to euable him to accomplish a good deal of this sort of thing, that the ordinary Senator, esptc tally those from the South, has found impossible.

The counties of Chowan, Craven, Edgecombe, Halifax, Hertford, Northampton, Scot land, Yance and yarren all have negro majorities and all were carried by Bryan with the single exception of Chowan, which gave a small majority for Mc Kmley.

OWING to the small amount of Taxes paid in at this time and the large number of tax receipts on my books, it becomes necessary for me to be looking1 out for the money. The Taxes have been due since the 1st of last Septem ber, and. some are asking- for more time. It is not in my power to grant this. I must collect the Taxes and place the money where it belongs. You may jyr ant to vote in the next election, and if you do not have your Tax receipt you will not be able to do so. Please look up the law, section 13, chapter 89, acts 1901, carrying out a requirement of the constitutional amendment. ' No one will be allowed to vote in the next State election unless he pays his Taxes by the first of May, and it also provides that before the person shall be allowed to vote he shall exhibit to the Register his Tax receipt, signed by the sheriff or tax collector. Unless the receipt bear date before the first day of May he will not be per mitted to vote. Therefore, I will be at the following places on the dates mentioned for the purpose of receiving taxes, and hope that those in arrears will promptly meet me prepared to pay up.
