We note that many of our ex changes are apologizing for insert ing the advertisement of Davis, Hill k Co., of Washington, D. C, who claimed to be commission merchants. That concern sent us their advertisement but we refused to insert it, believing the firm a fraud. - Somi: of the State papers are criticising the late Legislature for increasing appropriations, without making any exceptions. This, it seems to us, is unwise and unpa triotic, and is made for partisan advantage, rather than for the pub lic good. The Legislature passed many foolish acts and wasted much money making unnecessary appropriations for which it should bo condemned; but it should be commended for increasing appro priations to our charitable and ed ucational institutions. Mil. J. H. Mills, for years su perintehdeht of the Oxford Orphan Asylum and now Superintendent of the Baptist Orphanage at Thom asville, N. C, is on a visit to Eas tern Carolina with a number of Orphans from the asylum. In this issue will be found a list of ap- . pointments where they will give entertainments. We trust that our people will go out in large num bers and hear them and give them such a warm greeting as to cause them to always have pleasant rec ollections of rtheir visit to this part of the State. Xothing less than a genuine old Xorth Carolina wel- ' come will sustain our reputation. You will miss a rare. treat by stay ing away. Mn. "W. R. Hlmjy, of Hender son, has published a long letter in the Henderson Gold Leaf which is being copied in a few of the State papers, criticising Gen. Hansom for not securing him (Henry) a good foreign appointment at a big salary. His claim to the appoint ment seems to be based on the fact that he made a number of speeches in the campaign. While this ' seems to us to be a case of the man too assiduously .seeking the oflice we are not discussing the merits of the case, but wish to re mark that if every one who makes speeches in the political campaign 1 i is to be rewarded by an oflice the county in futare campaigns will be flooded with orators and the man who establishes a school of orators will surely strike a bonanza, as ev ery ambitious school boy will want to put himself in training for a life of ease and honor. We wish it to be understood that we do not in any way intend to be personal, but our idea is that patriotism and duty should be the paramount idea in the minds of all good citizens away beyond and above the pay or reward which is expected to be I received for doing what ought to our duty, j List Takers. j Pursuant to law the County j n0velty of the thing will insure a j Commissioners appointed the fol- j splendid sale.

NEWS OF INTEREST FROM THECAP ITAL GATHERED BY OUR REG ULAR CORRESPONDENT. RaleigiC"N. C, ) April 1st 1695. f Saturday the great shaft of the Confederate Monument was put under the derrick ready to be hoisted in position early this week. -The great beauty of the monument am now be under stood. There is a quiet prepara tion going on for the unveiling. The plan for the ladies to edit one number of the News & Observer, and sell it for the unveiling fund is meeting with general approval. 1 It will be a great success for the they could not legally so use the I city's funds. ! ;The Ladies Memorial Associa j lion of Raleigh, have as their ora j tor for May 10th (Decoration Day) j Capt. C. B. Denson of this city i " " " .XV , iof General H. H. Win : Capt Denson request any ! 1 u- r ! who can give him any informt ; and his subject is to be the Life hi tin". one information regarding" General Whiting to please do so immediately. Representative Ethridge of -Dare county who had improved a good deal has had a relapse and is again very sick. Governor Carr has made requi sition 011 Governor Hastings of Pennsylvania for Walter Johnson who is wanted in Northampton county for themurder of Warren Davis in 1889. At the time of "the m u rde r Gove r no r Fowle off e red S-00 reward for the criminal, but he was never heard of until when lie was recently captured. Mr. B. M; Pugh of Northampton has been appointed to go after him. A new temperance paper will be started here under the man agement of Mr. Wiley Jones on April 15th. Governor Carr has offered 50. reward for the capture of William Craig for the murder of Jessie Carte r in Yadkin county. Craige is also known as William God ber ry. Governor Carr has also of fered a S100 reward for the arrest of Moses Pender who murdered Joseph Ruffiu in Edgecombe county last month. . Adjutant General Cameron has issued a circular stating that on account of the reduction for the support of the State Guard this year and next that there will be no annual encampment this year. but he urges the companies not to disband. Some few have al ready done so, but most of them will doubtless keep up their'or ganization. Two Mormon preachers have been spreading their doctrines through Wake county for the last week. They go from house to house" spreading their tracts, and ingratiating themselves with the more ignorant class of people. They should rightly be run out of the state. The base ball management of the A. & M. College has arranged for a good schedule of games for the coming season. Some of these games will be played here. Fri day Mr. Jordan the manager of the Kaleigh club received a chal lenge from Portsmouth from the Dallas base ball professional team. The challenge was accepted, and the game will be -played 'here shortly There will he some fine games played here this week. - The Cram. -bigamy case which was to have been tried last week during . the term of court was again continued for the next term. It is now said that the case will probably never come to trial as the plaintiff is anxious for a com promise. It is a great pity that the 'case is not tried and the truth of this thing reached. The State Auditor lias decided that 'The Great Triangle ought to have mileage," and although they left here not even thinking they would ever get mileage that much will be allowed them and may be of some comfort to them. CoL T. M. Argo in a case in the court here -4ast week held up tc ridicule the plaintiff in Uie case Mr. Thomas Brockwelf a lock smith here- This was more than Mr. Brockwell could stand and he swore vengeance. Later in the week there was an accidental meeting on the street when a fight occured. Friends inter fered, so no damage was done. The finding on the legislative journal .the new assignment bill has caused perfect wave of indig nation and dismay to sweep over the entire State. It is a most in iquitous and ruinous bill. There is but little doubt'but what there was fraud in the pretended pas sage of the bill. At first it was thought that Senator Starbuck was the father of the bill but Mr. W. M. Smith, of Cabarrus, has come out in a card, and said that at the instigation of some busi ness men of Baltimore he drew the bill and that representative Smith, of Stanly, introduced it. Smith, of Stanly, says he intro duced the bill and when it came up on second reading that the representative from Haywood county made a motion to table it, nnd it was done. He savs the bill never went to the Senate,and that if that bill is properly signed, that there is, "something rotten in Denmark." The bill is to all intents and purposes properly ratified. It has sent back home many farmers who have come as usual to get their supplies and give mortgages, for of course no merchant will accept a mortgage. The bill is far reaching in its ef fects. It clogs the wheels of bus iness and is a severe blow to the State's prosperity. Business will be exceedingly unsatisfact ory until the supreme court con strues the law in this case. A test case will be made in several counties this week. Many think it best to call the legislature in extra session for the repeal of this act, while the bullrof the peo Die raise their hands and voices in holy horror of having the fus- ionists back upon us with legisla tive authority. There is no tell ing what new deviltry they might be guilty of before the 20 days al lowed for extra session will have expired. Business men of all kinds unanimously agree that it is a terrible blow. Gov. Carr does not say whether he will advise the council of State to call an ex tra session or not, but he has proved himself so wise and pru dent a governor so far that he can be trusted to do what is best in this trying case. Below is given a copy of the act which has been so ruinous in its workings: 'AN ACT TO REGULATE MENTS. ASSIGN- The general assembly of North Carolina do enact: Sec. 1. That all conditional sales, assignments, mortgages or deeds in trust which are executed to secure any debt obligation, note or bond which gives prefer ences to any creditor of the mak er shall be absolutely void as to existing creditors. Sec. "2. That all laws in conflict with this act are hereby repealed. Sec. 3. That this act shall be in force from and after its ratifica tion. . Ratified the13th day of March, 1895,'' On Saturday Capt Thoinas W. Mason retired from the R. R. commission and to-day Mr. S. Gtho W nson will take the oath of office and till the vacancy. The a.1 r - i . 1 r reiiremeni oi vapi. Aiason is looked upon as a public calamity and nothing else, and the people generally wish him success in his private life and will jrladlv welcome him back to public life whenever it should be that he comes before them in a public way. The railroads have all agreed to give one rate of fare here from all points in the State on the occa sion of the unveiling of the monu ment The tickets will be good " 1 r , ."ui , - iay iri ana inclusive. The captions of the acts of the legislature are being prepared for puDiicauon. Mr. Montford McGehee died at his home here this morning. He leaves a wife and three sons. His wife was a daughter of the late Hon. George Badger. COTJNTY COMMISSIONERS. PROCEEDINGS OF THE NORTHAMP TON BOARD HELD AT J ACKSON, APRIL 1, 1895.
