Ho d-i..r.-" I t'-:.t it was done through poli- Deputy Sheriff .Monaghan and De puty Moore added another feather to their cap yesterday when they ar rested a negro supposed to be a mem ber of a band that has been operating in this section and robbing rural stores. Identification of the negro was easy, for he had enough document about his person to make it known who he was, and according to the various classes of literature he' was carrying, he was SOMEBODY. The negro had a cumber of new shirts and some perfectly new over alls. It is believed that the sheriff! have the right man, too. The negro was identified by a letter from a well-known whiskey house, which he was carrying, and which contained enough advertising litera ture for that concern to flood Fayette ville. He is some trickster, too, for he had instructions on his person for per petrating the most innocent of jokes. He had the Merry Widow Trick; The Dead Shot Pistol Trick; The Happy Hooligan Trick; The Great Surprise Trick; The Cut Rate Store Trick and score or more of others, which he claimed to he able to perform with litrhtening-lilke rapidity. Preston Robinson was the negro'a name and he had a love letter on his person that could not be touched by any Eve of Fayetteville.

Preston stoutly denies his guilt, and says that he does not know any thing about su re robbing whatever. GOV. WHITMAN'S ADDRESS DEALT WITH FINANCES hp referred to P.. I..

Y., Jan. 5. Governor Charles S. Whitman's annual message to the Legislature, which convened at noon today, was devoted wholly to financial questions, mainly the budget system. The Governor recommends: 1. The inclusion of every necessary expenditure fer the conduct of the State government during' each fiscal year in a single appropriation act, sri framed, that it will prescribe c!eai !y and specifically for what State nu.neys so appropriated shrui be used.- 2. The placing of the full control thorr.ed e.pundit'.irc3 m tne '.,rv Fri lay. WILL NOT VPOIT MEDICAL INSPECTION Kinstn, Jan. S. Lenior county will not adept medical inspection for school children, at least not in the immediate future, he county com missioners have rejected! a proposi tion whereby tney would guarantee nn appropriation for one-half of the pense of a month's service under the supervision of State Board of Health experts in the ' county. The board of education had already of fered to pay one-fourth of the ex pense, and the Kins-ton and) LaGrange school boards were willing, it is thought, to appropriate for the other fourth. The commissioners are said to have -considered themselves re sponsible for too many other things it present to take on "the additional burden it properly belongs. 3. A change in the date of the State's fiscal' year, making it begin July 1 ini-tead of October 1. The Governor recommends th abolition of 1. The office of fiscal supervisor. 2. The office of the beard of pore wardens of New York. 8. The office of the health officer aft the port of New York. 4. The New York State Nautical School. In this connection the Go ernor suggests that the training ship Newport be returned to the Federal government. . With regard to the budget systens, the message points out, the present constitutional provisions seriously i in terfere with the preparation by th Legislature of the sort of budget sufr gested in proper form for subsequent consideration by the executive, pre cluding among other things the right of the executive to reduce items ami granting only the right to veto. Ttja Governor therefore recommends at constitutional amendment to eorrfrfc these conditions.
