State treasurer Lacy Issued the fol lowing statement this afternoon rela tive to the situation. "As a great many have inquired what I thought the legislature would i do If convened, I have concluded to ? make this public statement: "First. Let me say that I do not ' expect the legislature to come togeth ' er. North Carolinians can always be ' depended upon In a crisis, and I am i satisfied that on June 10, when 1 , open the bids, the b?nds will be all ? isold.

It is to be regretted that a dis turbance of thia character ehould oc cur at a school eelctlon when every one should be working in unison snd harmony. TOMGHT AT THE GAIETY THEATER. "j This program la the beet offering of this season. Our vaudeville bill changes tonight. Mile Tina and Baby Irene produce entirely new acts. Ev ery one Is talking about the high class work of this excellent vaudeville team. Mile. Tina Is undoubtedly one of the beet female quick change art-< ists on the stag* today, snd her songs and specialties are of the class that pleases her audience every time she appears. Baby Irene Is s marvel ? nothing less ,*111 .express it ? for she posseses a voice that Is simply' won derful In a child of her sge. She Is certainly a winning little soubrettq with her songs and dances and we predicts a great future for her. The picture program for tonight embraces some of the best offerings ever made In the city. 'The Twb Brothers" Is a subject undoubtedly? one of the most pretentious ever un dertaken. It tells the ttory of two brother* in the 8panish Dominion? * one a noble, upright fellow, while the other Is a profligate. The disrepu table boy, however. Is reclslmed by the love of a little Spanish girl. The production was made st 8an Juan Csplstrano, California. ''The Pillag ers," an Arab encampment, and "The Bully," drama, are also the best of their kind. Don't forget, the vaude I ville changes tonight. Come early bo 'you can get a good seat. INVITATION. * The News is in receipt of the fol lowing invitation: Mr. and Mrs Lewis Jiolmea Swindell fnrtte you to be present at the marriage of their daughter Pearle Corlnne to Mr. Herbert Meredith 8tllier on Wednesday morning the twenty of June .Ataeteaa huadred and lan i * ? '?! o'clock . Methodist Bptfeopal Church South * ?*am garter, N. C. ?' - - - |comlng ftrff Hbe lst'of July should tal^e advantage of tbta opportunity and exchange It tor a 4 0-year. -non> taxable bond. 1 cannot exchange prjrately, but blda can be made and the bonds enclosed In lieu of the 2 per cent certified check, and I will accept those bonds as cash. "Now, If the legislature should have to come together, It will author ise me to borrow enough to pay' for what bonds are not subscribed for, and also allow me tp sell them pri vately. There Is no probability that the rate of interest will be Increased, and those who lose the opportunity to put In a bid on the 10th will not be able to do so at any future time. In my judgement, the man who waits to purchase a North Carolina & per cent bond will never own a bond, although he may live to be art old as Methu selah, and the suggestion that the State Issue a 6 per cent bond is ab surd. North Carolina can now bor row all the money she needs at less than 5 per cent, but the legislature would have to authorize It. Even If It were p^slnble to have new plates made In time to deliver the bonds on July l It is abBurd to thing the legis lature would issue a 5 per cent bond when the 4 per cent bond will bf above par as soon as the depressior In the bond marlcet is relieved.

At the same time In Justice to the other States North Carolina wishes them to understand thorough ly the character of the bonds which the committee of the bondholders are seeking to Impoee upon them and this explanation, completely and plainly, this proposed publication of the State Historical Commission will give.
