The entertainment given by the stu dents of the State Normal and Indus trial College Friday night, compli mentary to the visiting committee from the legislature, was one of the most pleasant affairs in the history of the institution. The program, which bad Deen prepared with the utmost care And precision, was carried out in an admirable manner, reflecting great credit upon the young ladies and their Instructors. The various scenes, rep resenting "E Pluribus Unum Ameri can Types," "The School of Freedom," "Way Down South In Dixie," "North Carolina," "State Seal," "Worth Uaro llna'i Soliloquy,". "Charity," "Justice" a n H KH nru Hrn " nra nrrHnril kv tableaux, the execution being almost perfect. The soliloquy was specially fine, vividly portraying our state's at titude toward public education, the condition of our people, their strug gles, etc. The reply of uEducatlon" "Wealth always comes to those who treat me generously, but It never pre cedes me" offered a happy solution of the .unhappy condition. The entertainment was both unique and instructive and was greatly enjoy- eu oy me targe auaience present. At the close of the performance lion.

THE GREAT, BLIZZARD. Business in the Atlantic States De moralizedThe Zero Line Ex tends Through Southern Louisi ana Mississippi and Alabama. Washington, Feb. 13. With two inches less than three feet of snow on a level and the mercury hover ing constantly near zero, the capi tal today was in the grasp of the most severe blizzard in its history. The snowfall, which began on Saturday evening, continued with out cessation until 11 o'clock to night, the official measurement in 50 hours being 20 inches on top of the heavy fall of the few days pre vious. Driven by a high north west wind, it drifted) in banks of from 5 to 8 feet in depth, suspend ing all traffic, tieing up the street car lines, cutting oif the city from all outside communication by rail and causing untold suffering among the poor. At midnight the weath er had cleared and the wind had moderated. f V ! The railway mail service is par alyzed by the storms and mails are at a standstill throughout the At lantic region. The weather department to-night issued the following statement: Since Sunday night the Atlantic coast storm has moved from Flori- da to the. Massachusetts coast with a velocity and. increased intensity, such as has seldom been equalled in the history of the weather bu reau. Remarkably heavy enow has accompanied this storm. Accompa nying the snow there were norther ly; winds of hurricane velocities. So severe has been this storm that there has been an almost total par alysis of all classes of business in the Middle Atlantic states. In the vicinity of Washington this storm has greatly exceeded all previous records. About 20 inches of snow has fallen since Saturday after noon, and 34 inches during the past 8 days. - Of equal interest with this storm has been the record-breaking low temperatures of the South. At New Orleans this morning the tem perature was 16 degrees above ze ro, 9 degrees lower than any previ ous record, while at Jacksonville it was 10 degrees above zero, or 4 de grees lower than any previous record. The observer at Jack sonville reports' heavy snow and sleet during Sunday night, and that great damage has been done to the crops. The line of freezing temperature in Florida extended through the upper two-thirds of the state, with a minimum of 28 degrees at Tampa. jTbe line of zero temperatures extended through Southern Louis iana, southern Mississippi, Alaba ma and central Georgia. New York, Feb. 13 The storm which has been raging since Sat urday night increased in violence today, becoming a thorough bliz zard. A bitter northwest wind drives the snow in clouds through the streets, sweeping the sidewalks in some places and in others piling up three-foot snow in drifts. In the suburbs, where the winds have free sweep, drifts are 5 to 10 feet high; -street railroads have stopped altogether and suburban steam railroads are blocked. Many neighboring towns are cut off from New York altogether. Courts bad to be closed because of the cold and the special Lincoln Day cele bration and the theatres were thin ly attended. , All the charitable societies are taxed beyond their resources, ow ing to the sudden demands made upon them. Of the 15.000 desti tute families in this city, at esti-i mated by Blair, superintendent of the outside poor, nearly all are either freezing or starving today. The task of keeping trains in mo tion was herculean. Trains on all the roads are running behind time. Charleston, S. C, Feb. 13. When the city woke this morning it found itself wrapped in a blan ket of snow. It was bitterly cold all of last night, the thermometers registering as low as 13 degrees. Until af tar midnight rain and sleet fell. The snow did not come till towards morning:. The fall is va riously estimated at from 2 to inches rh a level. . Business has practically been suspended all day. Merchants, : clerks and business men and private citizens have pa raded the streets engaging in snow ball oattles. Augusta, Ga., Feb. 13. Augusta is in the midst of the coldest, spell on record. JVith half a foot of dry snow on the ground and the tber mometer 15 to 25 degrees below the freezing point, a stiff northerly wind, intensifies the cold. The snow ceased falling at 3:30 p. m., and the sun shone all day, but without causing any diminishing effect in the biting cold. The low est point reached by the mercury for 24 hours, ending at 8 p. m., was 4 degrees. Much damage is reported by the farmers and fruit growers, though the full extent is not yet obtainable. There is great suffering among the poor, though no fatalities are re ported. Anniston, Ala., Feb. 13. Daniel Chatman, a negro, was found frozen stiff in his bed this morning;. The official temperature early this morn ing was 4 oeiow, toe coldest ever known. The enlisted men at Camp Shipp are well equipped and suf fered no inconvenience from the cold. Many - sentries, mainly ne groes, however, fell on their beate from numbness and had to be taken to the hospital to be thawed out. Lenoir, N. C, Feb. 13. The se I. . ! . - vere out not unusual cold wave which appeared here on Wednesday last, has gradually developed the most intense blizzard known here for years, and continues in full blast. The temDerature here at 7 o'clock tfali morning was 2 below zero, and at this hour 2 o'clock stands at 5 above, the latter being below anything on record here for that hour. - Blowing Bock reports 10 below zero this morning and 6 below at noon.

Up to Monday afternoon 241 laws had been ratified by the pre siding officers during this session of the legislature. Dr. John Manning, professor of law in the University, died at his home in Chapel Hill Sunday night, aged sixty-nine years. A large number of the prominent lawyers of the state met in Raleigh Friday night and organized the State Bar Association. The commissioners of Durham county are being severely criticised for reducing the wages of the em ployes of the county home and cut ting off the allowance, of coffee given the inmates. The. county commissioners of Mecklenburg county have decided on a still further extension and improvement of the public roads of that county which have for years been the Southern models for road building. They will ask the legis lature to allow them to issue $100, 000 in bonds for general road im- prove ment.

Lewis, secretary of the State Board of Health, his opinion as to 'compulsory vaccination. The opinion says the legislature ! can confer upon the boards of health of cities and towns the power-to enact rules and ordinances for the promotion of public health. It is competent to require schools to be vaccinated and failure to comply with this requirement will justisfy exclusion from school. The re quirement that scholars shall be present at the schools on a certain day for vaccination would be up held as reasonable. Xhe local board is authorized to require vac cination. There is complete au thority to enforce the vaccination of inmates of jails and county homes. j - Trusses and Crutches at Gardner', cor. opp. postoffice. I ..
