2 RILEIGH'SpYEAB Bright Prospects and Great Prosperity Predicted. Every Indication That 1903 Will bt ih-Bts Year in the History of the Capital Ci y. ; about the prospects and out look for Raleigh in this New Year?” was R question which fixed itself in the mind ol a News and Observer reporter yester day as he was seeking the news of the day. He asked the next man he met what was his opinion on the subject. He was delighted to hear bright, cheery, happy words, and predictions of a splendid year for the city. This was so good that he stopped another man. Then came more rosy expressions. The reporter found a note book was needed and got it out, jotting down th n expressions he heard. In his rounds here and there about the city he met many men, and casually talk ed with them- It was not a matter of hunting up people to talk, neither was it n selection of people who would see only the bright side of things, but whenever he had the opportunity he asked the man to whom he was talking: “What do you think of Raleigh’s prospects for 1903?” In every case there was a reply that no yoar had ever had in it metre of pos sibilities for the city. He did not find one croaker, or one knocker. It was a symphonic chorus of bright prospects that he heard, and here is what some of the ccntlemen said: Mayor A. M. Powell: “The outlook for the city in the coming year "is very bright. Our city will be the best lighted In the State, we will go ahead on im provements and when 1904 comes we will be able to look back with pride on what hSfß'been accomplished- Mr. R. R.

Scranton, Pa., Jan. 3. —Just before noon today another fall of earth enlarged the big cave-in at Olyphant and removed over half of the support from beneath the Evans building, which stands on the corner of the cavity made by yesterday’s cave in. The house projects far over the cave and it is feared that it will be swallowed up. Several large cracks ha\e appeared on the surface of adjacent property and the feeling of security which prevailed at day break has given way to one of fear and alarm. The Delaware and Hudson Company has built a switch to the edge of the cavity and is dumping hundred of ca*r loads of ashes into the big hole. It will take about a week to fill it. even if it does not become enlarged. There is im minent danger that three other build ings will disappear and the residents of the town are badly frightened- Tho occupants of the residences near tho bluff were warned and took rooms Ivith their friends for the night. The Catholic church is also very eloce to the edge. IF MOTHERS WOULD USE ANWAYS Croup Syrup their babies would wear a smile in place of coughing their lit tle lungs out.

Watson, Overman and Craig were all sitting to gether in the lobby in what seemed to be most pleasant and agreeable confab aisd an onlooker who did not know' the fact would hardly have supposed that they were so vigorously opposing each other for the highest office in the gift of the State. They were chatting, smiling and telling jokes and relating humorous and interesting incidents of former campaigns and other successes their respective friends sat about them all in the best of humor, but each on the alert. It is a most interesting fight and will wax warm er and more interesting as the hours go by, but there is no question but what it will be a most friendly fight to the finish. Some of the friends of General Carr and Judge Hoke are expected today, which may change the situation in some respects, but it is safe to say that it can not change it so far as a good natured, friendly but spirited contest is concerned. Hon. S. M. Gattis. one of the leading candidates for Speaker, arrived on the afternoon train and took up his head quarters at the Yarborough. He was greeted by a number of his supporters and friends and appeared to be in most excellent health and spirits. Mr. W. C.

Established 1865 KgtoSrMgdgM i STATE BOOK LIST A Conference to Remedy the 1 rouble of Distribution. Plans are Agreed Upon Wnich it is Thought NfrillFenv dy a I fx : stirg C* mplaints tn - D fficulti* s The matter of suitable facilities for supplying the pupils of the public schools wit the books on the State public school book list was discussed in the office of the State Superintendent of Public In struction yesterday. There has been trouble in many coun ties cf the State since the adoption of State, list, this being because books were j not cn band when needed by the pupils. Reports reaching the office of the State Superintendent, have told how schools have been retarded in their work because of the failure of book dealers and deposi tories to ave books on ahnd when needed. The publishers have been notified of; the failure to have their books at the j depositories, but the complaints had so; increased that it was deemed necessary to have a conference with the representa tives of the various publishing houses. ; This was held yesterday. There wore present at the conference State Superintendent Joyner, Major C. L. Patton, of the University Publishing com pany, Mr. J. W. Thackston, of the Amer ican Book Company, Mr. F. O. Spain, of 1). C. Heath and Company and Mr. F. B. Arendell, cf the B. F. Johnson Company. Complains from forty counties were taken up and considered, red it was j agreed that the publishers would at once take up the matter with the County Su- ; perintendents, and the managers of the: book depositories in the counties where ] there was trouble. It was also agreed that the publishers would seek to have te cause of complaint removed by es tablishing additional depositories in the counties in which there is a reasonable need for these, and would, in all the de positories established, keep an ample eupply*of books on hand. One provision that was agreed to will aid in having the books required prompt ly on hand. This is that the County Su perintendents will be directed to notify j the keepers of the depositories in their j counties, and also the State Superinten dent, of the date fixed by the county Board of Education for the opening of: the schools, at least one month before j those open. On receiving this notice the 1 State Superintendent will at once notify the publishers, who arc expected to have an ample supply of books on hand at their depositories before the schools open, having one month in which to do so. This, it is hoped, will do away with all complaints about the distribution of text books. The Text Book Commission wa.s not called in session for the reason that it was r.ot thought that any official action on the part of tho Commission was ne cessary to remedy existing complaints or difficulties. United States Senator—The Eifction of Mr Badger in 1848. To the Editor: On the 20th inst. a Sen ator to succeed Mr. Pritchard is to be elected. Who will receive the distinguished honor at the hands of the Kep/’senta tives of the people of North Carolina*? There are several candidates, and dark horses innumerable. The friends of each (as is the custom) say they have a dead sure thing. But just at this writing- no man tan tell. In this “neck of the woods Gen. Julian S. Carr is the favw.fite and during the past few weeks many strong letters have been published in tho papers throughout the State in his advocacy, written by men of the highest character, and some of them distinguished for great learning, and love of country. V. e think the Legislature will make no mistake, if they confer this, their highest gift upon Gen- Julian S. Carr. In 1848, it was Whigs aud Democrats, and I used to think that all the gentle men belonged to the Whig party. In that year, the Legislature met. on the 20th November. After seven ballots Robt. B. Gilliam was elected Speaker of the House (on the 22d), defeating Jas. C. Dobbin- Calvin Graves was elected President of the Senate on the 25th- after nineteen ballots, defeating Andrew Joy ner. The first ballot for United States Sena tor was had on the 12th December with the following result: George E. Badger, S 2; Weldon H. Ed wards, 13; J- B. Shepard, 18; Jas. J. M' Kay, IS; T. L. Clingman, 6; W. F. Lea..e, 8; Charles Fisher, 6; Kenneth Raynor, 1; Jas. G. Dobbin, 7: David Si. Reid, 4; Abram Venable, 2: Asa Biggs. 2; Wm. Eaton, Jr., 1. On the 16th. another ballot was* had, as follows: Badger, 82; J. B. Shepard, 18; Edwards, 6: McKay, 10; Leake. 8; W. B. Shepard, 16; Raynor. 3; Clingman, 14; Reid, 1; Fisher, 4; Venable, 1; D. L- Swain, 2; W. L. Steele, 1; J. R. J. Daniels, 1. On the 20th another ballot was had, re sulting as follows: Badger, S 2; Clingman, 50 Leake, 12; Edwards, 8; McKay. 2; Fisher, 5; Ray nor, 1: Dobbin, 1; Baskervillc, 1; Lrog den, 1. A second ballot was had with the fol lowing result: Badger, 75; Clingman, 59; Leake, 9; Swain, 9: Edwards, 6; McKay. 3; Ray nor, 1; Fisher, 1; W. B. Shepard, 1. A third and final ballot was held in the House, which resulted In Mr. Badger's election by 1 majority. The following was the result: Badger, 83; Clingman, 67; Edwards, 4; Leake, 4; Fisher. 2; Swain, 2; McKay, 1; Dobbin, 1: Raynor, Is On the last ballot Henry T. Farmer, Republican from Henderson county, changed his vote from Clingman to Badger, thus honoring one of the great est men that this State ever has, or ever will produce. There are strong hopes for a man giving such a vote as this. If he has crossed over the riVer, sufely he.must be resting under the shade of the trees. Old Oirange had in this Legislature four Representatives, to-wit: Cadwallader Jone 3, Jr.. P. H. McDadc, John Stock ard and ilos Mebane, and a Senator, John Barry. Mr. Hugh Waddell con tested Berry’s scat. A vote was had on 25th January, 1849. three days before the adjournment. Each received 21 votes, tho President of the Senate, Graves, casting vote for Mr. Berry. On the day before, the North Carolina Railroad was incorporated by the casting vote of Mr. Graves. This road is 223 miles long, stretching from Goldsboro to Charlotte, and the sorriest depot on tho entire line is at Durham. M It’s a daisy. Surely they had Senatorial, timber in 1848, as is evidenced by tho subsequent election of three of Mr. Badger’s com petitors to tho high office of United States Senator, to-wit: Asa Biggs, David S. Reid, Thomas L. Clingman. Will his tory repeat itself in the approaching election? We will see. N. A- RAMSEY. Durham, N. C., Jan. 3, 1903. BLOCKED BY SLIDES. Trains on the Northern Pacific are Brought to a ‘tand. (By the Associated Press.) Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 3.—Shortly before midnight last night slides were reported irom various points along the main line of the Northern Pacific and since that time slides have been occurring at in tervals to noon today. The wires were down and railroad officials were unable to get information except from nearby points. As near as can be learned none of the slides were serious and it is thought the track will be cleared within twenty-four hours. The worst slides are reported from points east of Tacoma, but there is also trouble between Tacoma and Portland and the track is blocked on all the branches. Trouble had occurred on the Great Northern earlier in tho day and that road was sending its passenger trains over tho Northern Pacific. The Great Northern train that left Seattle last evening and the Northern Pacific that left Tacoma last evening are both tied up at Kanasket. one mile from Palmer Junction. Olympia, Wash., Jan. _3. —The building occupied by the Capital Brewing Company as bottling works was almost complete ly demolished last night by a slide of sand from the bluff back of the building. The bluff is about fifty feet high and was almost perpendicular with the side of the building. The office building is in immediate danger and the Officials of the company are expecting it will be crushed at any moment, as small slides are con stantly coming down.
