S.. GENERAL LEE'S BIRTHDAY Will Be Elaborately Celebrated by Vet era ss and Uaothters of Coafederscy. The veterans of Cape Fear Camp, No. 254, U. O. V., of thia city,, are already making extensive preparations for the annual celebration of General Robert E. Lee's birthday, which falls this year on next Saturday week. The day -January 8th, is a legal holiday in North Carolina and it ia hoped to enlist the sympathies of the commu nity at large in the commendable move ment of observing each "year appropri ate nercisea in honor of the Confed erate Chieftain, who ia worshipped by every true Southerner.' The address will be by Eugene S. Martin, Esq., of this city, and will be' delivered at the Opera House. The Sogs of Veterana will be given a con spicuous place in the line of march from the armory to the place of apeak log and all veterans, irrespective of their places of residence, are expected to join heartily In the exercise. " : The Daughters of the Confederacy, aa usual, will have a bountiful 'spread of refreshments to which all veterans and aont of veterans are invited. NO CONTESTS FROM THIS STATE. North Csreiloitns ia Coseress Mr. Bel lamy ob Pespportionmeat. ' A special telegram from Washing ton, D. C, says: There will be, so far as known here, no Congressional contest from North Carolina in the next Congress. Neither of the Kitchina will have a contest on his bands as threatened at one time. Mr. Thomas ia in the State at present, but so far as heard from Mr. Fowler, has filed no notice of contest. The time for notice expired January 1. Mr. Claudius Docker y was circu lating about the House corridors to day endeavoring to inject some ginger into bis rather a contested ease against Bellamy. So far as can be learned he met with a chilly reception. There ia little likelihood that the case will ever again be heard from. Mr. Bellamy is ia favor of SS3 mem bers of the next House. This will give North Carolina ten members and leave Virginia and South Carolina undisturbed. It looka now that Mr. Kluti may stand alone in the delega tion in favor of the Hopkina bill, which fixes the House membership at S57. aa at present, and leaves North Carolina with nine members.
